The most extraordinary name Of all was
worn by modest little girl of perhaps a
dozen summers. l could hardly believe she
was weighted down with such On absurd
name until obtained her autograph and
all doubt was removed. The autograph
read, in good, Iegible English:

KEEP THE SOUL ON TOP.
Little Bertie's After-Dinner Chat-An Old
Trnth in n New Dress.

sacramento Unonl
Little BERTHE Blynn had lust finished his
dinner. He was in the coy library, keeping
still for few minutes after eating, accor1l-
ing to his mothers rule. She got il from
the family doctor, and a good rule il is.
BERTHE was sitting in his own rocking-chair
before the pleasant CRATE fire. He had in
his hand two tine apples-a rich red and a
green. his father was at window reading
a newspaper. Presently he heard the child
say: THANK you, little master" Dropping
his paper. he said: al thought we were alone,
BERTHE. Who was here just nowg' NOBODY
papa, only you and l." Didn't You say lust
now, Thank you, little masterg'n
The child did not answer at first but
laughed shy laugh. Soon he said "Pm
afraid you'll laugh at me if tell YOU napa.n
"Well, you have just laughed, and WHY
mayn't Il" "But m can you'll make fun of
me-" "No, l won't make fun of YOU; but
perhaps I'll have fun with you. That will
help us digest our roast beef "pll tell Won
about it, papa / had eaten my red apple.
aud wanted to eat the green one, too. Just
then remembered something | learned in
school about eating, and thought one big
apple was enough. My stomach will be
glad II don't give it the green one to grind
1t seemed for moment just as if it said to
me, Thank you, little master; but know
said it myself"
"Bsrtie, what is it Miss McIaren has been
teaching about eatings" "She told us to be
careful not to give our stomachs too much
food to grind. If we do, she says, it will
make bad blood, that will run into our
brains and make them duh and stupid,
so that We can't get our lessons
well, and perhaps give us head
aches, too. If We give our stomachs
| Just enough work to do they will give us
| pure, lively blood, that will make us feel
bright and cheerful in school. Miss Nc
lAren says that sometimes when she eats too
much of something that she likes very much
it seems almost as II her stomach moaned
and complained; but when she denies her.
| self, and doesn't eat too much, it seems as if
it were thankful and glad" "That's as good
preaching as the minister's, BERTHE. What
more did Miss McLareu tell you about this
matters She taught us a verse one day
about keeping the soul Oh top. That wasn't
just the words, but it's what it meant"
At this papa's paper went suddenly right
up before his face. When in a minute it
dropped down, there wasn't any laugh on his
face, as he said, weren't these the words.
4 keep my body under'!" 40 yes! that was
il; but it means just the same. If l keep
my body under of course my soul is on top "
"Uf course it is, my boy. Keep your soul on
top, and you'll belong to the grandest style OF
man that walks the earth"

Hurd's Explanation,

TOLEDO, Ohio, January I'm relation
to the circulated report, as to an as
sertion made by him. in reference to the
connection of Cleveland with free trade
club, Frank Hurd says that he had
private conversation, in a private room,
with few friends, in Cincinnati, in which
the policy, of the new administration as
to the tariff reform was discussed. In
that conversation. Hurd said he thought
that Cleveland would be found in sym.
pathy with the views of the majority OF
the Democratic party on that point.
AS a circumstance, he stated that he
had been informed by a prominent citl-
zen of Buffalo that the organization OF a
free trade club in that city took place in
the office of law firm, Of which Gov
ernor Cleveland was member. Mr.:
Hurd never intended to be understood
as saying that Cleveland was even con-
nected with the free trade organization,
as he had NO information upon the
subject from that gentleman, nor from
any one. except as herein stated. The
conversation was supposed to be purely
private, among party OF gentlemen.

piles are covered with sleet and no one
could be found who dared ascend

Egypt.
CAIRO, January General Wolseley
has received small piece OF paper with
General Gordon's genuine seal on the
back, dated December 14th, saying:
"Khartoum is all right" A dispatch
has been received from the Mudir, stat
ing that an Arab from the Mahdi's
camp has reached Dongola. He affirms
that the Mahdi's followers gathered in
force at Mizanclneke, twelve hours
march south of Omderman. They re-
peatedly attacked Omderman, but had
been repulsed with heavy loss, and COM
PEELED to retreat to Mizanclneke. Cor
don, upon learning that Bedouin Arabs
came to the wells during the night, sent
armed boats to guard the wells, causing
great suffering among the rebels, many
of whom died of smallpox and dysen-
terry. The Mahdi. therefore, withdrew
his army to Jabbara. two days from
Omderman. Several tribes subsequently
deserted. The Mahdi told the princi-
pal chiefs that he intended to march
against the Mudir of Dongola. The
chiefs protested readiness to follow if
the Mahdi would charm off the bullets
of the enemy by leading instead of fol
lowing his troops. Next day the Mahdi
told the chiefs he had seen in dream
that the Mudir was saint, against
whom it is useless to fight This state
ment caused great alarm in the Mahdi's
camp.
KoRTI, January General Gordon's
note is not an inch square. The paper
was rolled up about the size of pin and
was sewn in a seam of one of the mes
senger's garments. General Gordon
estimates the Mahdi's force from 10000
to $4,000. The messenger adds that in a
recent engagement one of the enemy's
guns was disabled. The garrison was
able to hold out. General Gordon
spends his nights in ceaseless watch
visiting the outposts to see that every
sentry is on the alert. He has two
palaces, with gun mounted on each
He has always examined the guns al
daybreak in order that he may assure
himself that they are properly primed
and ready for action. He then lies down
and sleeps during the greater part OF the
day. Gen. Gordon is described a;
cheerful His men are well supplied
with tobacco. Five boats on the Black

that preceded them. The hussanz wa
