Vanity of Vanities.

a few years ago Alexander T. Stewart
died with an estate valued at close on to
S5, 100000. 1t was his ambition to found
house which would be recognized for all
time as the head of the commercial enter
prises of the United States, and to this
end he toiled until physical nature was
exhausted. He died full of years, but his
lifelong dream was as unstable as an
April wind. He had no son to take up
the burden, and his fortune passed under
the control of one who was bound to him
by no ties of blood. Even bis weary
bones were denied rest. The price of a
huckster was set upon them. The great
house of Stewart has almost ceased to .ex-
Isl, and a whitehaired woman alone keeps
the name from being forgotten.
Robert l.. Stuart also toiled win a
place among the great merchants of New
York. He accumulated millions, and his
last hours were spent in experimenting
the construction of 8 palace in the upper
part of Fifth Avenue. He passed away
without chick or child, leaving frail
woman the sole arbiter of his fortune.
The famous vintages which had made his
cellar the envy of the town are now at

A few days ago Mrs. A. T. Stewart was
assisted down the broad steps of the mar
bic palace in Thirty. fourth street and
was driven to the brown stone palace of
Mrs. Robert l.. Stuart in upper Fifth
Avenue. 1t was the first time that the
two ladies bad met since the husband of
one had been gathered to dust, and ne
shall not attempt to say what passed
through their minds as they looked into
each others eyes. Slowly they moved
from room to room, where were unfolded
views surprising in richness the fanciful
creations of a magician, and yet upon
each face rested sad, far away express
sion.
The woman who sat in the scantily
furnished room two blocks from the ave.
nue., earning her bread with her needle,
heard the prattle of children, stopped
now and then to kiss rosy lips, and she
thanked God for having given her some.

Twenty.Four Hours Prayer.

A special to the Boston Globe from
Akron Ohio, says: Harrison Ramon
lived for many years in Hinckley, Me-
dina County, Ohio, and amassed consid-
erable property, most of which was in
cash. He would not trust his money to
the keeping of bank, but hid it about
his own premises, keeping the hiding
place secret even from his own family.
A short time ago he told his wife that he
had hidden about $4,000 in money and
that pretty soon he would inform her of
its whereabouts, so that in case of his
death she would know where to find it.
He neglected to do this, and about
week ago he died of apoplexy. After
his death an examination Of his papers
showed that be had 1885, 1000 in money
all hidden about his premises. The most
thorough search failed to reveal the hid.
ing place, and the widow began to de.
spair. Then she was impressed with the
notion that if she prayed with faith the
Lord would direct her to the place where
the money was hidden. On Wednesday
she prayed all day and all night. On
Thursday morning she was impelled to
20 to the bee hives, which stood on a
bench near the house, and in the excite.
ment of expectation she knocked over
one Of the hives, disclosing to her view
the top of IL bench with pile of large
denominations upon it. a search under
the other hives resulted in finding total
of $4,000. In the afternoon one of the
family dropped bunch of keys through
the barn floor, which necessitated taking
up plank to find them, and when the
young man put his hand down he struck
a halfgallon fruit jar. which he pulled
out to find partly filled with $50 gold
pieces. Other jars ard a grain bag were
also found containing gold and silver,
and when it had all been counted the
total amount figured up over $4,000.
The widow Was overjoyed, and in her
statement to the correspondent said she
believed that the discoveries were in d.
rect answer to her prayers.

A Coming Notable Celestial Event.

Perhaps the most interesting celestial
event of the year will be the opposition
of Mars ut the end of .the'present month.
There is 80 much about this remarkable
planet that suggest close resemblance
to the earth, and so many of its surface
featu1es land Of the natural processes
occurring upon.it are visible with tele-
scopic aid, that every time it comes to
opposition, that is, gets into q line With
the earth and sun; the earth being in the
middle, battery of telescopes is turned
upon it with eager expectation Of inter.
esting views if net important discoveries.
At opposition Mars appears with small
telescope power like full moon of q
ruddy tinge. AS the magnifying power
is increased one detail after another of
the Diversified surface of this distant
world comes into view, until it hangs in
the field of the telescope a real globe,
marked plainly with continents, oceans
and islands, and partially covered with
clouds.
The first physical features of Mars that
come into view are the snow caps sur
rounding his poles. The Southern pole
is now inclined toward the earth, and a
small telescope, say of three inches
aperture, will plainly show the circular,
cleaning patch of snow that covers the
antarctic region OF the globe of Mars.
The dark ring surrounding the snow field,
and sometimes called Phillips Sea, is al
most equally distinct, and some of the seas,
or suotsl that are believed to be seas, can
be seen with the same telescope. With a
larger telescope more details are visible,
and with the largest and best all the
various: features Of Martain geography
which are represented on some of the
wonderfully complete maps of Mars that
have. been constructed can be seen.
What a surprising thing it 10 that men
have nesn able TO make maps and globes
representing with a high degree of COM.
pleteness the surface Of world never
much less than 40100,00O miles distant
from the earth, H..
Large telescopes will, during the
present opposition, also be able to show
the two tiny moons of Mars, which re.
volve close to the planet, 80 rapidly that
the inner one goes through all the
changes from new moon to old moon in
less than day.
Another interesting thing about Mars
which can now be studied is the mysteri-
GUS net work of so.called canals which
cover large portion of the planets
surface, particularly in the equatorial
regions. The idea that there are really
canals constructed by Inhabitants of the
ruddy planet can hardly be entertained
when it is known that they are sixty
miles aud more in width.
One thing seems to be pretty certain /;
Mars has reached much later stage of
planetary development than the earth,
and if it has inhabitants they may posi-.
bly, have attained degree of civilization
incomprehensible to US. At any rate, it
is wonderful world which now beams
as a ruddy star in our winte, midnight
sky.-Ne,o York Sun.

A Moonlight Sympathy.

Algernon-My dearest Endora, you
know that as we are so soon to be mar.
ried, we should cease to live in an en-
chanted dream and begin to take practi-
cal views of life.
Endora-I know that, dear, and have
thought it all over much more often than
you think.
Algernon-You know that I am not
rich, aud can not afford to keep my bird
of paradise in a guided cage.
Endora-It makes no difference, Alger-
non. I have already picked out sweet
little house in the surburbs, which know
you can rent.
Algernon-How good of you, my an
gel j; and then you know that, in order
to pay for the furniture, which must be
bought on installments, it will not do to
keep a servant. Can my darling's pretty
white hands make bread and attend TO all
the other household duties?
Endora-Well, no but I have provi.
ded for that, too. Mothers people are
staving housekeepers, and she and my
three maiden aunts will give up boarding
and come aud live with us.

Death on the Rail.

The down freight train on the Colum-
bia & Greenville Railroad due here at
4.20 a. m. yesterday ran over and killed
white man named John Bowers, at
Kilgore's Hill, four miles South of New
berry. The fatal accident occurred be-.
tween 2 and 8 a. M, but nothing was
known of the occurrence until after the
train arrived in Columbia. The deceas-
ed was intoxicated and had laid or fallen
on the track. He left Newberry with a
flask of whisky in his pocket. When
the engineer passed Kilgore's Hill he
felt the locomotive jar little, but thought
it was only slight obstruction which he
had passed over. The body of Bowers
was mangled almost beyond recognition,
and the engine which passed over him
was besmeared with blood on the front
portion and pieces of flesh were also
found about the wheels aud truck. An
inquest was held and verdict rendered
in accordance with the above facts which
exonerates the railroad authorities from
blame. The deceased was brother of
Lee Bowers, the postmaster at Prosperity.
Columbia Reqister.

Senatorial. Clerks.

The resolution which was adopted by
the Senate on Thursday, authorizing
each Senator to appoint clerk, is even
more Objectionable than the resolution
which was submitted by Senator Butler
In that resolution it was proposed to pay
each secretary $1,000 a year. The resc-
luton which has been adopted gives the
new clerks Sc a day during the session.
Congress will probably be in session eight
months altogether, or 240 days, 30 that
the pay of each clerk will be S1,440 in.
stead of $1,000. There are seventy-si1
Senators and forty one standing commit
tees, There are, therefore, thirty-fiye
Senators who are to be provided with
clerks, as not having clerks already as
chairmen of committees. The cost Of
the new clerks, therefore, will be $50, 400
year. This amount of money is to be
taken from the public pocket, in order
that the different Senators shall have
private secretaries at the public expense.
We can see already what this sort OF
thing must lead to. Mr.. Belford, of
Colorado, demands clerk for each men,
Der of the House of Representatives.
At the rate which is to be paid to the
Senatorial clerks, the clerks for the mem.
bers of the Lower House would cost the
people between $500, 900 and S50O,O00 a
year. Congressman are fully as much
entitled to clerks as the Senators are,
and need such clerks quite as badly,
both for purposes of patronage and con-
venience.
The Senate has, it is presumed, o very
large contingent fund, and this contin.
gent fund it spends in any way that it
pleases. There is no check or restraint.
The Senate is growing more aristocratic
in its methods every day, and, without
counting the pew>clerks, the army of
hangers.on IND the Senate wing of the
Capitol is frigh$nlly large. The House
of Representative ought to give some at.
tention to this abuse. Contingent funds
are always fruitful sources of extrava-
gance and waste, and the committee on
appropriations of the House of Repre-
sentatives will do we'll to make the con-
tingent fund of the Senate so small that
it cannot be used for such purposes as
paying for clerks for Senators.-Ne,us
and Courier.

Never Satisfied.

Thad. Stevens had been conducting an
important suit for a wealthy old Penn
sylvania farmer.* During its progress
he was the latter's guest. While stroll
ing over the farm, Mr.. Stevens observed
that the farmers corn crop, which was
just ripening, was remarkable beyond
anything he had ever seen:
MY friend" said Mr.. Stayens to the
farmer, "this is truly magnificent There
is nothing left to be desired in your corn
yield this year."
"W.e.l.l," responded the farmer.
guardedly, 'it is purity fair; purity fair.
But" and this with q noticeable tinge
of sadness, thar might be few more
cunnels-just few more cunnels-at the
end of the cob

Hiram Homcspun's Ideas Abont Raisin'
Children.

A good many folks has somehow gotten
the notion that the youngest of this here
age is just about as bad as they was afore
the food. l am only plain farmer fell
er, but have observed few things, and
l don't agree with those people. The
boys of to-day amt no wuss than they
ought to be considerin' the trainin' some
of 5em gifts. I was only 'tother day tell
in naybor Skinner that he was maxim a
big mistake with his boys. Skimmer's
good farmer-none better. He farms
scientific. But he don't know the science
of bringin' up a youngster. Children
thrive best in the light, sandy loan Of
kind words, where it is allus warm and
cherry like. After a while, when they
gifts middlin' strong they ought to be
trausplanted to the heavier clay Of com:
mon sense and self-reliance. This will
give 'em will of their own-strength of
purpose, you know. like to see boy
with will of his own. Some parents is
aIlus feelin' bad when they see young
uns actin stubborn like. Then they 60
to work to break the stubbornness with q
barrel hoop or hickory switch. They
thrash and pound until they beat out
everything that's good, and there's moth
in left but lot Of worthless chaff that
you can blow anywheres. It's fearful
foolish, that. If the parent had only got
the child's will under control instead OF
knockin' all the spunk outen 'em, their
boys would have been some use to the
kentry. The boys who makes successful
men is those who have got lots of push
and 20 ahead, which is nothin' more nor
good strong will that has to be trained
to grow straig ght. Another mistake-and
naybor SINNERS maxim it's to want
all your boys to learn profession. You
might just as we'll try to make wagon
pole outen tooth pick, or barn door
outen a shingle. They would be dead
failures. If you have had to work hard,
the boys can work hard too. Some Of
the boys won't make good farmers, and
them's the ones to make store keepers,
book agents, or lawyers of. But what
ever you do don't choose their profession.
Turn a sheep out in the bush and it'll
find the best grass and purest water.
Give your boys a chance, and when they
20 into the thick woods of life, they'll in
nine cases outen ten come out to tho
clearin' right side up.
