Get in the Young Men.

Mr.. Moody talked on the needs of
young men in New York. He said :
"Your Christian work won't go on un-
less you get the young men. A young
man may come up here from the coun-
try and hear popular preacher for six
monthsand nobody will ever speak to
him. I have heard sermons on recog-
nizing your friends in heaven. 1t might
be good plan to recognize them on
earth. Laughter. Think of the poor
boy from the country, with only little
money to spend, strolling about and
trying toget some pleasure after his
days work. Now Just let DIR. Hall or
some of you take DIR. Cuyler's church
ami fill il with young men, and then let
the mothers and daughters of the
church go out and bring in the young
men. A young man likes to come to
church with his sweetheart. A man
may growl when he is obliged to go with
his wife, but he never viii when he
comes with his sweetheart. Laugh
teri Let us take up collection just
now for the Young Mems Christian
Association. to show how much we
think of the young men.

A Portentous ARMY.

There are vast armed forces in India
that are not under British control.
I letters to the London Times show that
population of 49,050, 900 Hindoos and
Mohammedanns, under princes of their
own, maintain armies numbering 349,-
$50 troops, with an artillery of 4,237
guns. In all the native states a war
like apirit prevails, and the discipline
and the weapons are, as rule, excel
lent. The 100000 soldiers of the Ma
harajah of Nepaul would ask nothing
better than be led to battle, whoever
the adversary. Before the consolida-
ton of the British dominion the troops
were redoubtable antagonists to the
best European skill and discipline.
Now these soldiers are simply the toys
of the princes. They have no duties to
perform, for British rule preserves
peace from the Himalayas to the ocean.
But it is possible that in the course of
time some sagacious and ambitious ma
tive prince may unite these immense
forces. resistance to which could not he

cant number of soldiers under great
Britain's control.

Monday last an octopus was caught
in Commencement Bay in about 800 feet
Of water by fishhooks. When brought
to the surface it was almost unmanage-
able, and it was only by severe strug-
gle that it was hauled into boat and
brought ashore. Once it seized upon
the bottom of the boat and no effort
could loosen it, until it did so of its own
accord after the vessel was set in motion.
One of its feelers came in contact with
one of the boys arms and it was only
induced to let go by beating the feeler
into jelly with club. 1t is plenty large
enough to master man and would be
dangerous customer to meet In the
water. 1t was monster specimen, hay
ing arms or feelers fully four feet long.
The arms are eight in number, and are
each supplied with 100 pairs of suckers,
by which they seize and hold their prey.
Its body is purse-shaped without fins,
and is foot long and nearly the same
in width.-Portland Oregonian.

Miscellaneous.

Emigration from the British Isles
continues to fall off in all directions es-
pecially to Australia, which was but
little more than one half in November
1884 from November 1888.
The consular report for October, 1884,
issued by the department of state In
Washington, has an exhaustive series
of reports from the various consulates
in China upon the importation and con-
sumption of ginseng in that country.
The name of this plant is one of the
few words in the English language
which are of Chinese origin, and the
roots have in the United States been
gathered almost exclusively for expor-
tation to Hong Kong. The amount
annually shipped from the United
States to Hong Kong is about 100000
pounds per annum. Some twenty
years ago large amount of ginseng
was gathered in Minnesota, but at the
present time, it cuts no figure III Min
nesota products.
The vote cast by the State of Texas
in the late election showed a total of
O1C.OJO. vi lllEo 4hI. N1CNS-
land received 223, 20S, giving him the
enormous plurality of 134,S55 and a
clear majority of lbs, 021, which is, with
one exception, the largest major
ity ever given a presidential ticket in q
single State. In 1872, Pennsylvania
gave General Grant 135, 9lS majority
over Mr.. Greedy, and this year it gave
81 ,019 plurality over Mr.. Cleveland.
Texas cast only 3, 321 votes for Butler,
but gave st. John 3,511 The increase
in the vote of Texas since 1880 is S.
29S, which tallies with the remarkable
advance of the State in wealth and busi-
ness activity. 1t is indeed the En-
pire State of the South. Provi-
sion was made in its act Of admi-
sIoR to the Union for making and ad-
hitting four States within its present
area, but the people at large seem con.

Pound No Poison.

DR. Samuel X. Cox, D. D., Practical Analyti-
cal chemist, Washington, D. c., who made thor
ough and careful analyses, reports that there is
neither morphia, opium, emetics nor poisons in
the Red Star Cough Cure; that it must prove a
boon to those whose systems shrink from the
use of such compounds, and especially to moth
ers, who justly dread the evil, and at times IA
tai effects of these dangerous drugs. he fur
Their states it is not only free from all opiates,
poisons and emetics, "a thing which not one
cough preparation in ten can boasb but it is al
together an original and most happy combina-
ton of the best remedial agents, and is as harm
less as 1t is effective.

An old Minnesota Land Suit.

Reports from Washington say the supreme
court has handed down decision in the case
of the st Paul & Sioux City VS.. The Winona
& St Peter. This suit was first brought in the
Minnesota courts in 1872, and involved the title
to 1900 acres of land in Cottonwood and Muir
ray counties The two grants overlap each
other. and the suit was brought to establish
title to the lands lying within the con-
ficting limits The st Paul & Sioux
City, the first company to receive its grant
maintainedit was entitled to the full 1900
acres The decision of the supreme court is
IN favor of the Winona & St Peter The present
land in controversy is only a portion Of that
coming within the conflicting limits of the two
grants The remainder was divided some
years ago, each company agreeing to take an
undivided one-half These a, 600 acres have
never been included IN the accounts of the st.
Paul Sioux City company.

A DISCOVERY.

A figure tall and slender,
A pair of trousers tight,
A Jacket short and clOse-ftting,
A necktie very bright
A mustache curled and waxed,
A collar three inches high,
pair of CATERS painted,
A ''glarse" on the left eye.
Its hair parted in the middle,
Curled and banged with taste,
A cane it always carries
And on the mash is based;
1t wears tan-colored kid gloves,
And sports diamond stud,
And from its button-hole projecting
Is flower or rosebud
Il drinks Apollinaris,
Is fond of ice-cream, too,
Likes skating, dancing, riding,
The billiard ball and cue
At lakesides or at dances,
At theaters or the skating rink,
You'll find surely looming up
The long-lost missing link"

Trades for American Bows.

The trades in our country, of late
years, have been almost monopoIized by
foreigners. The American boy. how
ever, when he does take trade. goes
straight on to the top of the ladder.
1t seems as if our boys would rather
be fourth-rate lawyers or physicians,
than earn their living by working
with their hands. Only the other day
read in New York newspaper of a
young lawyer in a distant city, whom
| knew some years ago when resided
in that section of the country, who
literally starved to death. He made
scarcely any money, was too proud to
tell his want, lived as long as he could
on crackers and water, and was found
one day in his Office, dead from lack of
nourishment. He should never have
entered the legal profession, for he
had no ability in that direction. As
farmer or mechanic he might have
lived along, useful, and successful
life.
No boy, of course. should enter a
trade unless he feels himself fitted for
it; but, on the other hand, he should
not, it seems to me, lot the false pride
against manual labor which now
prevails to such wide extent in our
country, prevent him from endeayor-
ing to do better work with his hands
than in his inmost thoughts he knows
that he can do with his head. George
