Outlines a little word dropped from care
less lips reveals to him who hears it the
whole inner life of the speaker. 1t is not al
ways safe, however, to base an opinion of 9
person upon such foundation, as the fol
lowing incident will show:
Yesterday afternoon horse-car was slowly
humping along toward the South End, and
among the passengers were two refined
looking young women, who were holding an
animated conversation in one corner. Their
words were inaudible to the rest of the pas
sengers, owing to the noise of the car-wheels
and the groaning and creakiug of the
vehicle. All of sudden, however. the car
stopped, and, thrilling across the momentary
stiffness, came this remark from the prettier
of the pair
"You just ought to see me turn sum-
mersetr'
The effect was extraordinary. Two
light-mindcd young men at the other end of
the car laughed aloud; a clerical looking
person opposite the pair, half rose, as if
meditating flight, and then sat down again !;
an aged and revere-aspected dame, glared at
the speaker through spectacles which focused
her gaze until it bored its way like gimlet,
and the faces of the two young women turn
ed to a charming roseate hue.
And yet the speaker was not circus rider,
trapeze permformer, or anything else odd,
unfeminine or indicate. She belonged to
to one of our best families, and, having Just
returned from the gymnasium, which her
sex In this city are now so sedulously culti-
vating, was describing to her friend her tri
umphs upon the parallel bars.

ognized the dog as belonging to the rector,
who is fond of sport and their singing was
somewhat marred by their effort to suppress
their laughter. Slowly the procession moved
out of the sanctuary, out of the chancel and
out of the auditorium, the dog following
close at Mr.. Crafts side, sprin ging up at him
every few seconds, and seeming rather de-
lighted at the novelty of the situation. The
terror which had at first seized the congrega-
ton changed to sense of amusement when
they grasped the turn of affairs, and as the
dog pranced through the door leading to the
vestry-room, those in the church were on
broad grin.
There was some curiosity to know how the
dog got out of the rectory, and this was sub
sequently explained by the appearance of
the Graft son and heir of tender years, who,
it appears had not waited for the communion
service but had gone home and carelessly
left the door open. Missing the dog he had
come to the church to look for it, little dream
ing of the CONSERVATION it had caused and
the punishment that was in store for him.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Century VIII commence in the August
number series Of three papers by Mr.. w.
j. Stillmau, recording the experiences of a
classical expedition undertaken for tue mag
azine. His object was to trace the wander
ings of Ulysses. as described in HOmer's
Odyssey and 10 indemnity rs far IS it is
possible to-day, the localities visited by the
Ithacan king. The articles viii have archie
illogical value. as well Is special interest of
modern travellers. The Illustrations have
been drawn by Mr. Fem, from sketches or
photographs made by Mr.. Stillman, who
has closely described the localities as they
appear to-day. Mr.. Stiilman made his jour
ney in yacht, in order TO examine st leis-
ure all the localities in question. At Ithaca
he discovered an archaic inscription Of crest
interest, 1 fragment OF which had pTeYiousiy
been found by Schleimann. aud the method
of the latter's investigations is incidentally
spoken of. The distinguished Italian epi-
graphist, Comparetti. to whom the iascrip-
ton was referred for restoration and trans
lation, makes it the subject of a report to the
Italian academy, a. one of the most Interest

the effort to get as much OF the summer
breeze as could find its way into the sacred
ediace, and the music produced BY the organ
and the voices OF the surpliced choir came
floating through the portals. The sacrament
OF the Holy communion had been admins

ready the choisters had begun the singing OF
the occasional hymn. The rector. Rev.
William H. Graf, stood with his back to his
people and his eyes fixed devoutly upon the
cross which rested upon the supeT-aItar. All
was solemuitv aud devotion. Suddenly there
was a autter of excitement On the outer
edges Of the congregation. A lady seated
near the door screamed. She had seen a
huge red and white setter dog, its tongue

up and down the vestibuie. Suddenly it
stopped in the doorway and then made s

one suggesting mad dog, there was a scurry

Il Coat of Tar.
1Stockton Heraln.l

Some months ago a shyster lawyer named
Napa. His wife was at that time staying
with friends at Los Angeles, but about three
months ago she came up to Lodi with a
young babe and young child years Of age.
In the meantime Pond had ingratiated him
self with judge Meeker and gone into part
nership with him in law. Pond was terribly
dissipated, and judge Meeker turned him
adrift, but afterwards took him back on
promise of reformation. Some weeks ago
Judge Meeker went East and left Mrs. Pond
and family in bis house to take care of 1t dur
ing his absence. Pond, in Mceker's absence
went on continuous and disastrous drunk.
Mrs. Ponds little babe became sick, and
Pond got drunken. and the sicker the babe
became the drunken Pond got
Last Friday the babe died and Pond was
too drunk to know or care anything about it..
On Sunday the bereavcd mother, accompan-
led by svmpatbizing lady friend, brought
the little corpse to Stockton on the train to
inter it, and when they left Lodi, Pond was
lying helplessly and bopclessly drunk on the
floor at home. On Monday evening he had
recovered his senses sufficiently to realize
what be was about. A party of residents of
Lodi called on him with team and wagon
and took him ~ling. The party came to-
ward Stockton, Nit stopped a few miles out
from Lodi, stripped Pond naked and gave
him coat of tar. They let him get back to
town afoot. They gave him one day in which
to leave town, but he did not want so much
time. He left on Tuesday noon. Mrs. Pond

turn as sheriff, the office was in good shape.
The head of it was a fine lawyer, and his dep
uty was W. L. G. Smith, who was minister
to China under Buchanan, the author OF
''Uncle Toms Cabin as 1t ISL and several
other works of note. The office was well nd
ministered, and when the term was finished,
Mr. Cleveland went back to his law business.
The fees of the sheriff's office were large,
and the income from it gave him his
financial start. He then made money at the
law and saved something
In 1881 he was forced to be a candidate
for mayor. A popular revolt against the
methods that were robbing the city swept him
into this office. The council was against
him, but he vetoed every obnoxious measure
it passed, and his assaults upon the alder
men were so vigorous that they did not dare
to pass them over his objections. Here his
veto of the street cleaning job is regarded as
the real beginning of his public career. Soon
after he came into Office the coun Gil voted to
award the street cleaning contract for five
years to George Talbot, a local politician of
power, at 1922, 500 year. There were sew
eral lower bids by thoroughly responsible
men. Mayor Cleveland vetoed the award,
severely condemning the attempted waste of
the peoples money. The contract was sub
sequently awarded to the lowest bidder at
100000 The amount saved on this and an
item for a sewer during the first six months
OF his administration was nearly one million
dollars. These acts brought him into. prom
1nence and started him toward his present
place. It was on account of his fearless
fight in spite of large odds, against public
plunderers, that he was pushed and elected
governor by these people 1t is because they
know him to be perfectly honest and incor-
ruptible that tonight all men, regardless Of
different political affiliations, are rejoicing
over his success.

The Progress of Chrissian lMiseicns.

AT recent missionary meeting In Lon
don Sir Richard Temple presented statistics
to show that the progress of Christianity in
the east had been remarkable during the last
generation.
When the census of British India was TAX
ed few years ago, the number of native
Christians was returned as over half a mil
lion, and the number of children In the
Christian schools as about $50, 900. AS COM
pared with the total population of India, how
ever, these figures seem small, especially
when we remember that the actual and nom
inal Christians have only been gathered
after century of effort. Even if the total
increases during the next few years to one
million, as Sir Richard Temple prophesiedit
would, it will not be great enough to justify
hopes of any speedy Christianization of In
dia.
And while these compar atively insignif-
cant gains have been made in the heather
East, how has 1t been in the Christian Westa
If half million Hindus have been brou ght
to the Christian faith, after the struggles of
generations of missionaries, how many mil
lions of Christians during the same period
have departed from the faith in Europe and
America?
1t seems to us that the great mission field
for the church at this time is Christendom,
for if skepticism prevails there and religious
zeal cools, the work of propogating the Cos
pei in the heather east must suffer more
and more decided check. Only when the
church has been warm in its attachment to
the faith has Christianity extended its Dor
ders. Nor can we doubt that religious skep-
ticism in the west will have its reflex in the
east, which is even more likely to initiate
doubt than to embrace faith.--N Y. Sun

French war vessel, gives an account of re-

THE royal residence he says, ''is town

in the enclosure, all OF whom are attached to
the service Of the King. At the end of the
first courtyard, surrounded by different kinds
of buildings stands the European palace,
which is quite similar to the dwellings of the
rich merchants of Saigon. Behind that, in
another enclosure, is the native habitation,

King giving up all his claims at the reqest of

Col. Levi Bird Duff, one of the most prom

has announced his intention to vote for
Cleveland. Col. Duff was one of the promf-

He came back to the Republican party in
1876 and voted with it again in 1880. In
1882 he joined in the Independent move
ment led by Charles s. wolfe, and ran for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with senator John
Stewart. The Republicans say he has taken
step backward and the Democrats that he
has gone forward.
s'What do you think of the Independent
