Peaceful Lord I.andsdowne.

At the annual meeting of the Dominion Ar.
tillery association LordL andsdowne in aspeecl
said:
You are not and | hope never will be a mill.
tary nation in the sense in which some Euro.
pean powers are. Your people have their
peaceful pursuits and are engaged in the devel.
opment of the resources of the country. Your
only coterminous neighbor is a great nation
with which you are upon the most friendly
terms, whose relations with you are absolutely
unciouded. They are united to you by ties OF
descent, language and common love of free in
siisutions. again, YOU form part OF an empire
which you may depend upon will never quar-.
rel with you gratuitously or for any purpose.
For all these reasons the people Of Canada are
content to entrust what might be called nation.
al insurance to an army of very moderate size,
supported at very cost and sacrifice of the time
and attention to those who are members Of diff
ferent forces

Prince versus Humbug.

An American spiritualist named Bastian gave
a seance in the imperial palace Vienna, Aus
tria, on the 18th, at the invitation of the Crown
Prince Rudolph and Archduke John. Bastian
summoned spirits from a room adjoining the
exhibition hall, whereupon a tall figure in
mourning appeared before the spectators.
Suddenly the crown prince pulled string clos
ing the secret door, when the spirit, who was
Bastian himself, made frantic but vain efforts
to escape amid the laughter of the assemblage.
A Chicago Special says: Bastian, the Amer.
lean spiritualist, who was unmasked as a fraud
by the crown prince of Austria, is well known
here. A few years ago, connected with a man
named Taylor, he had rooms in the building OF
the Religio-~ Philosophical Journal, a spiriualis'
tic paper, and gave regular seances at which
many startling spirit manifestations were
made. Their career was brought to a close by
B. G.. Keller, a reporter for the Times, who ex-
posed the fraudulent practices as thoroughly as
done by the crown prince. The identity of the
mediums and spirits, which they pretended ID
materialize was thoroughly established

Washington, Special. The committee Of con-

partment of justice has summoned a large
number of prominent Dakotians and ex-of-
ficials from other territories before them. II
Is alleged by some of the parties summoned
that United States attorneys have made out and
received pay upon vouchers for much lar

ceived. 1t is also asserted that enormous
sums have been expended by these attorneys
in commencing frivolous suits for the purpose

Inventive Genius Rewarded

"You see that large factory" said ;
D man to a New York Sun reporter.
.It covers the entire block. Half q
million of money wouldn't bay it.
Well, it was built by a little piece Of
cord not more then six inches long.
Eight years ago there lived on the west
side, in the third story Of a cheap tena-
ment, down near the North river, a
poor mechanic, who was kept poor be-
cause he had q passion for inventing;
it amounted to a passion. He didn't
drink and didn't travel with the pol;ti-
clans, and all who knew his family
wondered why they should be SO poor.
Time passed on, aud still the man was
poor. But at last he perfected an In
vention-the simplest thing on earth
and with his patent in his hand he went
down town one day, and called for tho
head of q hoase whose check was cur
rent for FIVE figures anywhere in the
street. The inventor offered to sell
two-thirds OF his patent fo1
twenty Thousand dollars il
the house would bind itself to
put one hundred thousand dollars into
factories for producing the little thing
that he had invented. The firm signed
papers IN less than IN hour from the
time of hearing the proposal. and in an.
| other hour the inventor had converted
the firms check for twenty Thousand
dollars into greenbacks. Lots were
bought, anasa factory was erected. The
business speedily grew to gigantic pro
portions, and at length the firm &C
| quired all the rest Of the block, and
covered it with brick and mortar, ant
now the inventor is able to associat.
with the millionaires. The little glove
fastener-+a piece Of cord about al,
inches long and q dozen little meta
hooks or huttons~is the thing that wal
invented.

Murdered His Father.

Amurder was unearthed about eight miles
north Of Adrian, MINI. Martin Riley a farmer,
was a widower with three children, q hoy about
fifteen years old, and two girls aged eight and
ten, respectively. Mr.. Riley was in Adrian
over a week ago, and that is the last which
was known of him until the 18th. The neigh
bors and others inquired of the boy and oldest
girl about their fathers whereabouts, and
we're told that he had gone away to stay and
had given them the farm and all the stock,
A party of citizens searched the premises.
They found bloody straw in the stable. This
led to the search Of q straw pile near by, and
resulted in the discovery of the body buried
head downward III the top OF
the stack The body was naked, except a cot,
fee sack, which was drawn down over the head
and shoulders, and saturated with blood and
frozen. This will not be removed until the
coroner arrives. A gun was found in the house
with one barrel discharged, and an axe was
found on the premises covered with blood.
There can be little doubt that the boy murdered
his father, and that his sister, if not an accom-
plice, knew of it and helped to conceal the
body. About the time of the disappearance OF
the father the son spent considerable money al
the stores, and has been trying TO hire a hand
to help run the farm. The girls were taken LII
charge and turned over to the sheriff.

a Close Shave.


HaWkeye.
the barber had just remarked to his assistant
that he was going to kill a couple of shoats to-
morrow, when the funny customer climbed into
the chair.
II hope said the funny customer, with an air
of great terror, that isn't the razor you scrape
the hogs within
'Oh. no, sah!" replied the barber. with pain
full courtesy, Il isn't gwan 10 use dis razor on
you, sab; Use gwan shave you wild dis black
handled one, sab"
And low, muflled sounds, as of q man read
ing something that agreed with him, went ali
around the shop, and tie funny customer tried
to make a noise just like it, but his effort died
away in a convulsive sob. and he told the barber
very severely that he came there to be shaved,
and not talked to death by a chattering barber.
And then the strange, g~urgling sound went
round the shop again, but the funny customer
was playing that he was asleep.

ers and AstOnished the Skeptics.
Philadelphia Times.
John W. Keely gave another exhibition yester-
day of the progress he has attained in the devel-
opment and practical utilization of vibratory
forces. By a series of highly interesting exper-
iments the inventor succeeded in thoroughly
mystifying the wisest among a company of eX-
ceptionally intelligent men. The exhibition was
rendered as a compliment to Charles b. Collier,
counsel for the Keely Motor Company. A limit
ed number of invitations had been addressed to
gentlemen of recognized scientific attainments,
and every available point of observation within
the narrow limits of the little shop on North
Twentieth street had been appropriated by in
terested spectators.
Mr.. Keely performed one experiment that was
new and significant. The mysterious generator,
in which the inventor claims to produce his
crheric vapor by the disintegration of water, ap-
peared for the first time perfectly insulated from
all its surroundings. The bed plate upon which
it rests had been lifted bodily from the floor and
placed upon a pair of iron rollers on which Mr.,
Keely moved the whole machine back and
forth so freely as to %disprove the allega-
tions of skeptical theorists who have main
tanned that the curious instrument Was con

When rushing swift to some vague goal,
We cast chance glances by the way,
But have not time to pause or look
Lest we the unknown end shall stay,
We snatch quick sights of pleasant things;
And when we find ourselves at last,
Within the land we made such haste
To reach, and see the flowers fast
Fade in the dullness of decay,
We think of glimpses that were flashed
From deep, rich tints of summers bloom,
As DER the way, we careless dashed.
Thus, when we struggle to attain
Some cherished plan, some topmost height,
That seemed the one aluring way,
And to that end, both day and night
We hurried swift, nor noticed aught
Of modest grace in humble ways,
Till fades the sky's enchanting blue,
And we remember then some days,
Whose swift, sweet hours few by like birds
Upon the wing with merry lays,
Whether they few to north or south,
We needed not, till after days.
Returning late, they brush their wings
Close to our face; and then we feel
Something we lost and gave no thought,
Till thus we're smote in mute appeals;
And standing dizzy and alone,
We, dreaming, measure years apast,
By just these hours. How strange, wee birds,
Ye should usurp the throne at last!
