All Gone.

"All gone" these words under al
most all circumstances imply grief of
some kind, sometimes it is only de-
parted pleasures we cherished, or
through some overt act of our own So
cial or political position, or our wealth
we SO much loved has taken wings
and left us, as we think, desolate, but
how insignificant are either or all of
these things-which may be regained
when the words apply to sne family
circle and we know that death has in
vaded our household and snatched
from us our loved ones and left us
desolate, and that our loss is irrepar-
able At this time this is the cry of
desolation and anguish which comes
from the lips of Mr. NJ Harvey, of
this city. Three weeks ago his was a
pleasant, happy family circle consist
ing of himself, wife and three bright,
JOYOUS little children. Today he
stands alone, and in the anguish of
his heart exclaims call gone. !"
Amidst all their happiness, diph.h
eria crossed their threshold, and on
the Sd inst, the first victim fell; the
the next day a second was laid away
in its narrow church yard bed; on the
11th the third and last child surrend
cred its young life 70 the fell destroy
err, and on Monday last, the 18th, the
wife and mother succumbed to the
rayages of the same disease. Even
kind words of sympathy from friends
and neighbons seem like hollow mock
cry in such affiiction as this, and even
to the sanity christian it is hard to
say "'The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away, blessed be the name Of
the Lord" No words of ours can heal
the wound nor alleviate the pain. AL
we can do is to express our heartfelt
sympathy and ''leave him alone with
his dead" and his great sorrow.

On Tuesday last one Thomas
Goldson, vof the ballasting crew on the
y. p. road made brutal assault upon
a fellow-workman named John Couch
ey, striking him terrible blow across
the face with a pick handle. The blow
was delivered with such force that the
club was broken, and the result was
Gouchev's nose was also broken, one
eve totally destroyed and it is very
doubtful if the other eye can be saved.
A warrant was issued for Goldson, on
the charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. The penalty in
such Il case ranges from fine of 500
to Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for three years To an outsider it
would seem that this case meritcd all
the law would allow, although we are
not informed It's to all Of the particu-
lars in the case.

Mr.. Irish, pastor of the Nj. E.

Mr.. Irish, pastor of the NJ. Z.
Church of this city, is a man not cas-
lily put down. Last week he went
down to Madison on business, expect
ing to return on Saturday. When
his train reached Eau Claire, on that
day, he found to his surprise that the
Superior train had already gone out.
What was he to do? While he stood
thinking it over the train which
brought him that far moved out. He
caught the last car as it passed him,
and went on ST. Paul, and reached
that city in time to get the night train
for Duluth, and reached the latter
place at seven O'Clock Sunday morn
ing, then walked from Duluth here,
got his breakfast and was in the pulpit
before the congregation WIS in the
seats. That is the kind of push and
energy that will build up Il church or
a profession of any kind.

How the Chinese win Conquer.

to find that all the firemen on board the ship
were Chinese. The vessel was one Of large
line of steamers Glen line) trading to China,
and learned that this particular steamer was
one of the last to adopt Chinese firemen, the
chief engineer being unwilling to employ
Asiatics while there were Englishmen wanting
bread. He found, however, that he could not
help himself English fremen British firemen
rather, were so given to being drunk when they
own countrymen, he was obliged to give in at
last and take Cinnamon On asking how the
Chinese did, was told they gave no trouble,
were always ready when wanted, were steady
and sober and in every way competent 1t is
in this way the Chinese are going to conquer,
by sober, plodding industry.

Intemnerance i'm Paris.
Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.

Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.
Without taking into consideration the terrible
absinthe, the fiery cognac, the strong chartreuse,
the nasty fiat beer and lot of other intoxicating
tipple, the annual consumption of wine in Paris
alone exceeds 200 quarts per head.
AS far as temperance i'll Paris Is concerned,
advise those of my readers who come abroad, and
who would like information on the subject, to eX-
tend their Investigations to the outer boulvards
and to some of the smaller streets by the Temple
and not far from Notre Dame. There are two
days in the week-Sunday, day of rest for re-
spectacle people, and Monday, day of rest for
those who work on Sunday to show their con
tempt for God and religion-when you can see
as much drunkenness here as in any other
city in the world All the mannezingues as the
lower dens are called, are crowded with
male and female customers, who drink
wine which does not contain a single drop of
grape-juice, d-hot eau-de vie made out of Pc
tatoes and hqueurs strong enough to scald the
tongues of honest men and women. have ven
tured to demonstrate with these people and they
told me that they drank to give themselves
strength and that wine takes the place of food.
Now alcohol in the anima! stomach undergoes
no change whatever; it will be found in its origi-
nal state in the brain, in the blood and in the
liver, and it escapes unaltered from the system,
causing most frightful physical, mental and
moral ravages Those who have lived in Paris
for few years cannot but have noticed that
this vice of drunkenness is on the increase.
There are sections of the city where every other
door is liquor shop and men can be seen reel
ing about as drunk as "Billee Beedam" ever was.
The State derives vast revenues from the sale
of this poison. The annual amount spent by
Parisans for drink exceeds 1925, 900, 900, and
half OF it is expended in intemperance.

HOW THEIRS GOT HIS STEW.
The Plot of Two Great Men to Eat Food That
Was Forbidden Them.

London Times.
There were points upon which the late Fran
co.'s Mignet and Theirs agreed to disagree, and
so they remained friends to the end. One of
the points on which they differed was repub-
hcanism. Mignet believed, to certain extent,
in the future of democracy, but he had no faith
in his friends power to found a republic; how
ever, when Theirs became President, he used
often to go and see him at the Elysee, and at
one time these visits became so frequent they
excited the wonder of Madame Theirs. Three
or four times week little M. Mignet, in his
long snuff-coored coat, low-crowned, broad
at the Palace with parcel under his arm and,
declining all refreshment he would vanish mys-
teriousiy into the Presidents study, where, as
Madame Theirs supposed, the two great writer's
prosecuted their historical researches in com
pany.
But one day the sad truth about these private
interviews came to light. NJ Theirs, like true
Marseillaies, was passionately fond of buoilla-
baisse, but his doctors had forbidden him this
indigestible mess; so he and Mignet, who was
equally fond of the stew, made with herbs and
fish and garlic, entered into plot. Mignet,
when he came to the Elysee, used to bring tin
box full of bouillabaisse; this was turned into a
saucepan which the President kept in a secret
cupboard and the door of the room having been
locked, the mess was warmed over the fire and
eaten. Unfortunately, Theirs forgot to lock the
door one morning, and Madame Theirs walked
suddenly into the room and found her husband
and his brother historian enjoying their pro
hibited meal like school-boys The scene was
a painful one, and M. Mignet enriched his ex-
the smallness of great men in presence of their

Missionary Nabobs.


Moncure D. Conway, in San Francisco Chronicle
1 hear by the way, curious stories about some
of the American missionaries in Ceylon-among
others that they go to their churches in push
push" carriage to which coolies are harnessed
instead of horses. The Buddhist priest theoreti-
cally always walks, but really travels in a car
riage drawn by men. He has carried his pity
toward animals to the extent of plying them
more than men. ''The man is paid" said Budd-
hist to ME, land can say when he is tired"
have not had the advantage of hearing the
Christian missionaries explanation, but however
satisfactory it may be, the poor Tamil, whose
Sivaite saints ascetics and mendicants, is not
likely to be converted by such comfortable mas
tiers, as they are called. 1 suppose that where
the Tamil can walk, the followers of Him who
had not where to lay His head can also walk

vile" so lifelong martyrs, to know that these
missionaries, and especially the American live
in pleasant bungalows, in pleasant land, and
are drawn in carriages by picturesque Hindus in
red turbanS.

Circus Lemonade.
Philadelphia Record.


'This machine is the only one in the world, /"
said the engineer proudly, as he patted the en-
CINE in a loving way, ''and its secret couldn't be
bought for $4,000 Why, with this here ma
chine L can make more lemonade than any other
circus man can with five hundred bushel of EN-.
The pressure on that squeezer can be graduated
from one pound to 200, 900 pounds to the square
inch, and one lemon will make lemonade for six
months at the rate of 100 gallons a day. OF
course at first don't need nearly that pressure,
but as the season gets on and the lemon gets
kind of played out slap on all the pressure I've
got, and the juice comes flowing out just as if
you had picked the fruit from its parent tree ten
minutes before Now, bought that lemon for
one and two-ifth cents-wholesale price, you
know-on the 10th of March when the show
opened in New York and calculate to use it
steadily until the middle of June, when I'll throw
it away and use the other half until the end of
the season. Hard on the lemonl Well, yes, per
haps so; but then, you know, it gets rest every
Sunday for we don't show on that day." and the
engineer locked up his machine and went off to
Third street to purchase few Government
bonds

A Question of Moods.

Edward King, in Boston journal.
A literary friend gave me, the other day, an
amusing instance of the manner in which differ
emit natures judge the question of artistic toll
The late Mr. Anthony Trollope, as we know,
maintained that waiting for moods" in the mat
ter of writing for instance, was all stuff and
nonsense, and that all one had to do was to sit
quietly down and knock of six or seven pages
every morning, bringing the inspiration into
training This view of composition, of
course, inspires men of really artistic
temperament with horror My friend
tells me that he had near him on a recent
public occasion two artists-painters who have
in their differing specialties achieved marked re-
nown. Turning to one, who is delicate, imagi-
native, and whose talent is ten times as great as
that of his equally popular confrere my inform
ant said rs there, so far as you are concerned,
anything in the question of moodsP Are you
able on some days to dc great DEAL on others
nothing, or little; and do you think that you can
so discipline yourself as not to be obliged to cor
rect your moods" The painter at once replied that
his inspiration was capricious, and that there
were times when he not only knew that he could
not work to advantage but when he posi-
lively could not work at all. 1t was a question,
therefore, of seizing upon the golden moments.
A few minutes afterward my friend had chance
to ask the other painter the same question.

Engagement Kings.
San Francisco Argonaut.


The owners of stones for engagement rings
are thus regarded in the great world which oc-
cupies itself with such small matters of taste
and superstition The diamond, of course, is
good all the year round. If it is sufficiently
pure it will warn the wearer of the treachery of
his beloved object by breaking at the least blow
of steel The pearl is fashionable, and also pre-
ferred by ideal poetic lovers but it has fright
full secret influence impelling to treachery or
death. The ruby, by its color or brilliancy, is
the image of eternal flame, and is the best pos
sible omen. The sapphire means tenderness
and truth. In Poland the stones are chosen ac-
cording to the month in which the engagement
is made The ruby for July, the pearl for May,
the sapphire for January For March the tur-

A Relic Highly Prized-The Last Survivor OF
Browns Men.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta constitution.
Mr. 7. G. Baylor of the firm of Baylor & Bay
lor, civil engineers. in Atlanta, Ga, said to a
Constitution man a few days ago: Il have in my
possession the sword of John Brown, taken from
him when he was captured 1t was given to my
father by Brown when he was in captivity |
have been offered $500 for it. but refused to sell
it. 1t is one of the finest pieces of metal | ever
saw. The weapon is cavalry saber, with an
iron scabbard and bone handle. The blade is
regular Damascus blade, finely etched, and so
plant that you can press the point around to the
handle, and when it is released it will resume Its
original shape"
How came your father to get it,"
"When Brown lay wounded my father went to
him and took the sword from under him. After
keeping it awhile he carried it to Brown, and
said: Capt Brown, probably you would want
to give this sword to some of your relatives, and
| have brought it to you to make such DISPOSE
ton of it as you see fit. Brown said: No, you
have been very kind to me, for which l thank
done for me, prefer that you should keep the
sword So my father kept it, and gave it to me.
Up to few years ago its still showed the stains
Of blood obtained in Browns Kansas raids
He told my father that the stains were Kansas
blood, and that the sword never drew blood in
Virginia"
'Most of Browns men who were in the raid
are dead are they notlp
'All are dead except one. Owen Brown, a
brother of John Brown, is the only survivor
He lives the life of a hermit on an island in Put
in-bay."
