arrived at the house, but finding no
signs of the event, concluded he had
come too late. So he thought he
would take his chances and write it
up on general principles" 1t so hap
pened, however, that there had been
some mistake about the matter. 1t had
occurred in the morning instead of in
the afternoon, and the clergyman who
attended the funeral was married in the
afternoon to a widow, to whom he had
long been engaged. And this was
the kind of notice that was sent after
him on his wedding tour: 1.-The Rev.
Mr.. Thomaston was present at the SER
vices at the house yesterday afternoon.
There is no man so well adapted to
these solemn occasions. He impressed
every one present with his evident sor-
row and pity for the heart-broken
widow and her afflicted children. He
told them that, although they had lost
their stay and support there was one
who would still be father to them.
These words seemed greatly to comfort
them. Even their bereaved mother
could not have failed to be consoled in
her grief by the tenderness of the rev.

great emotion and could scarcely re-
strain his tears"
The most recent enterprise of this
sort has been achieved by two New
York papers, each of which had elabo-
rate descriptions of the illumination
of He'll Gate" The original locality
of this name is not believed to require
any other illumination than that afford
ed by opening the gates themselves
But its namesake in New York has just
been furnished with an electric light.
According to the Herald crowds gath
cred along the river and were well re-
warded by the magnificent spectacle.
They saw dull glow high up in the
darkness of the night; but an instant
later there gushed forth a flood of light
which grew brighter and brighter,
broader and broader. The reporter
then portrayed the landscape as it lay
''bathed in silvery showers, and the
outlines of the bridge stretching like
some huge spider web from shore to

THE ISLE OF CONTENT.

There's land in a latitude near to us all
Where each dweller may follow his bent;
1t is under no monarch's tyrannical thrall,
And is known as the Isle of Content.
It's wonderful spot; if you ask, it will bring
To you quickly whate'er you desire;
What it cannot produce-dt's singular
thing
That is just what you never require.
By the balmiest zephyrs of happiness famed,
1t is neither too cold nor too hot,
And the lassies and laddies never care in this
land
Whether school is in session or not.
In Content tho but poor, yet you feel, ne'er
theless,
Ycu are equal in wealth to a king,
While a tear in the trousers or II darn in the
dress
You consider a capital thing.
If you haven't the money to purchase a meal
q have been in that strait once or twice.,
Take reef in your vest and you'll instantly
feel
If you live in Content Every NICE
When I notice lad with a bright, sunny smile
Then nudge myself inwardly, thinking, the
while.
Hes encamped on Contents happy Shore"
l have dwelt on this beautiful island at times,
While inditing small verses for you,
And / often have wondered if, reading my
rhymes,
You were there as a resident, too.

YESTERNIGHT

Long I loved, in silence nursi
All the sweetness, all the smart,
Secretly the tale rehearsing
Yet unfold-tho' when my heart
First went forth unto the maiden
All the world was winter white,
And the summer air was laden
With rich fragrance yesternight.
Yestereve, what time the shadows
Deepened on the daised grass,
Homeward vending through the meadows
/ beheld the maiden pass,
And the love, so long unspoken,
Bravely in the fading light
Pleaded for some word or token
Of requital yesternight.
Not to ear or heart unheeding
My impassioned tale was told,
Nor in vain my wistful pleading
Sought her love-a hoop of gold
Set with stones within still linger
RAYS of Jud's refulgent light,
Circles now u shapely finger
That was bare but yesternight.

A,, Important Case from Nebraska Decided
by High Tribunal.
4 Washington dispatch says decision was
rendered by the supreme court on the Sd in
another of the long series of cases which have
arisen out of the adoption of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the constitution
The present case, which is that of John Elk,
plaintiff in error, against Charlas wilkins, and
which came from the district of Nebraska is
a suit brough by an Indian against the regis
trar of one of the wards of Omaha for refus-
ing to register him as a qualified voter therein:
The questions presented are whether plaintiff
in error is citizen of the United States and
whether he has been denied any right guaran-
teed him by the fifteenth amendment to the
FEDERAL constitution. The court, in n long and
elaborate opinion by Justice Gray, holds, first,
that an Indian who is born n member of one
of the Indian tribes within the United States
which still exists and recognized by
the government, and who has volun.
tarily separated himself from his tribe, and
taken up his residence among the white citi-
zens of a state, but who has not been natu-
rallied, or taxed or recognized as citizen
either by the United States or by the state, is
not citizen of the United States within the
meaning of the first section OF the fourteenth
amendment.
Second-That plaintiff in error. not being

patent cases to the secretary of the interior;
that the commissioner of patents has the ex-
elusive right to decide for himself whether or
not patent ought to issue and the secretary
of the interior has no authority to review
such decision. If the commissioner errs the
party aggrieved has his statutory remedy but
that remedy is not an appeal to the secretary.

1t is not generally understood as it
should be that oysters have medicinal
qualities of a high order. They are
not only nutritious, but wholesome, es-
pecially in cases of Indigestion. 1t is
said ''there is no other alimentary sub
stance, not even excepting bread, that
does not produce indigestion under GER

Oyster juice promotes digestion. By
taking oysters daily Indigestion, sup
posed to be almost incurable, has been
cured; in fact, they are to be regarded
as one of the most healthful articles of
food known to man. Invalids who
have found all other kinds of food dis
agree with them frequently discover in
the oyster the required aliment. Raw
oysters are highly recommended for

calists use them regularly for concerts
and operas; but their strongest recon-

CAPTURE OF GORDON.


The Fail of Khart0uni and the Surrender of
the Garrison.
A special dispatch to the Khedive from
Dongola conveys a graphic recital of "Chi-
nese" Gordon's capture as told by an arch
sheikh who left Shendy October 9TH. AS long
as seven weeks ago, runs the story, on &C.
count of the scarcity of provisions serious dis
affection arose among the garrison. This feel
ing was shared by the officers, who in a body
informed Gen. Gordon that the time had come
to give in. Gordon tried to calm them by say
ing that the relief expedition had reached
der an advance to meet IL. Gordon finally
agreed to this and ordered Colonel Stewart to
prepare the boats and before the brave officer
had completed his arrangements, some 5000 of
the garrison went over to the rebels and Cor
don found himself with about 1000 whom he
could trust. With this remnant of his force
he dropped down the Nile toward Shendy.
The banks Immediately swarmed with
rebels who threw continuous show
retreating force and many were wounded and
some quite seriously. When Shendy was
reached it was in possession of the rebels.
There they were met by an effective artillery
fire, in trying to evade which many boats

Gordon ordered a return to Khartoum rather
than expose the remainder of his command to
certain death. At this time Col Stewards

nothing is known of his fate. The other
boats were followed by hordes of rebels. The
command behaved nobly, but the fire was so
hot that Gordon was compelled to surrender.
Gordon was Immediately placed under
strong guard and conveyed to the Mahdis
Headquarters. Tho other officers and men of
his command are still prisoners at Shendy.

BROTHER BEECHER IN TROUBLE.


4 Revolt 4n,Ong Peic Holders Otci,ig to the
Divine's Political 4ttitude.
New York dispatch: The attitude of Henry
Ward Beecher in the present campaign and
his ardent support for Mr.. Cleveland are like
ly to add to the troubles in Plymouth church.
There is intense feeling among many men,
bers of the congregation at what they term
Mr.. Beecher's inconsistency in going back on
all of his previous sentiments in favor of the
republican party, and some of his pew-holders
have openly intimated that they will leave
Plymouth church as soon as possible. Others
attribute Mr.. Beecher's actions to softening
of the brain and its attendant evils. Another
report, which is rapidly gaining ground, says
that certain lawyer In plymouth church nd Is
that he has such influence over Mr.. Beecher
as to make a complete tool of the latter in
promulgating ideas favorable to English
tinguished democratic lawyer living on Brook
lyn Heights, who figured conspicuousy in the
meetings Of the democratic general commit
government in watching the financial inter-
ests of English colonies. 1t is thought by
many that the mantle of the influential demo-
crat has fallen on Mr.. Beecher's free-trade
friend. The precise relationship which the
Plymouth church friend bears to the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, how
ever, is not definitely known. Much of Mr.
Beecher's policy of late years, 1t is asserted,
has been in accordance with the opinions of
this member of the bar, and it is known that
the pastor of Plymouth church has frequently
taken his advice, much to the sorrow of older
and wiser friends. One thing is positive, how
ever; that the pew rents of the Oldest Congre-
gational church in Brooklyn will be largely
reduced at the annual sale in December, in
consequence of what is regarded by the ma
jority of the church members as Mr.. Beecher's
erratic actions. Among those who are promi-
nently identified with the church and who are
known to be opposed to the Plymouth pas
