The Bottom Drawer.

saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of the old family bureau this
evening. and l went softly out and
wandered up and down until l knew
she had gone to her sewing. We
have some things laid away in that
drawer which the gold of kings could
not buy, and yet they are relics
which grleve US both until both our
hearts are sore. | haven't looked at
them for year, but | remember each
article. There are two worn shoes, a
little chip hat with part of the rim
gone, some stockings, trousers and
coat, two or three spools. bits of
broken crockery, whip, ana several
toys. Wife, poor thing, goes to the
drawer every day of her life and
prays over it. and let's her tears fall
upon the precious articles. but l dare
not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack,
but not often. II has been a long
time, but somehow we can't get over
grieving. He was a burst of sun
shine into our lives, and his going
away has been like covering our
every day existence with a pail.
Sometimes when we sit alone of even
ings. writing and she sewing, a
child on the street will call out as
our boy used to, and we will both
start up with beating hearts and a
wild hope, only to find the darkness
more of a burden than ever. 1t is so
still and so quite now. look up at
the window where his blue eyes used
TO sparkle at my coming, but he is
not there. listen for his pattering
feet, his merry shout and his ringing
laugh, and there is no sound. There
is no one to search my pockets and
tease for presents; and l never find
the chair turned over, the broom
down, or the rope tied to the knobs.
1 want some one to tease me for
my knife, to ride on my shoulders,
to lose my axe, to follow me to the
gate when l go, to be there when l
come, to call Good night" from the
little bed now empty. And wife, she
misses him still more. There are no
little feet 10 wash, no prayers to say,
no voice teasing for Jumps of sugar,
or sobbing with pain of hurt toe
and she would give her own life al
most to awake at midnight and look
across to the crib and see our boy as
he used to be. So we preserve our
relics, and when we are dead we hope
that strangers will handle them ten.
derby, even if they shed no tears over
them.

Saved His Life.

Mr.. d. l. Wilc0xson, of Horse Cave,
KY, says he WAS for many years
badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Di-

throw him into commissions. He

died, had it not been for the relief af.
forced by Electric Bitters. Sold at

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April The
House this morning was in an uproar.
After the reading of the minutes Speak
err Haines arose and explained that
there had been dissatisfaction regarding
the employees Of the House, and he
had come to the conclusion that the
best thing he could do would be to dis
miss all those who had been appointed
by him. and he did so. This announce
ment fell like bombshell among the
employees, and CONSERVATION reigned
supreme amongst them.
Mr.. Reyes offered resolution de-
claring that the Speaker had no right
to discharge the employees. The whole
subject was tabled.
Mr.. West offered resolution citing
that the Speaker and Representative
Miller had placed the stock-yards bill
with the Committee on Corporations,
thereby perpetrating an indignity on the
House, and that both gentlemen should
be reprimanded.
1t was further declared that the
Speaker was an unsafe person to con-
duet the affairs Of the House, and should
be deposed.
Before discussion was possible the
Senate was announced in joint session.
Only one ballot was taken for United
States senator. Two votes were cast
one for Logan and one for Merritt.

An unusual meteorological phenoas-
non was witnessed in the mid-Paci6e
ocean from the deck Of the British
bark Innewick, which arrived at Vie
toria, British Columbia, on March q.
Captain Walters, Of the bark, gives The
following account Of il: At midnight
on February oath, in latitude 81 de-
grees north, longitude ITO degrees
Is west, the wind began blowing
stifiiy from the south-southeast. and
the vessel was running before it under
short sail. An hour later the wind had
increased to terrific gale, aud the ~
became intensely black. At 5 A. u
on February ajth was suddenly
aroused by the first mate. and going up
on deck found that the sky had
changed to q fiery red, as if the eatire
heavens was ahlaze. Five minutes
after | reached the deck large iaass
of fire shot out from the heavens di-
rectly over the vessel. aud as il fell int
the sea fifty yards to our lee it was sccom-
panied with kissing aud an explosions.
the report being so heavy that il shook
the vessel from stem to stern. This
ball of fire had hardly disappeared
when the mate cried out, MY God |!
What il that: I" and pointed 10 our lee
ward, where there was comic tower
of white foam rapidly approaching
the apparently doomed vessel. The
rumbling noise from this volume OF
water was desiening. Suddenly our sails
were struck Hat sback. aud it seemed
that the masts would be taken out Of
the vessel. but we filed away sgaia
and were grstificd to see the white foan
column passing us astern. Our iirzt
fears were intensified when q sheet Il
flame ran down our miszen-mast, and
from the rigging shot out great sparkle
OF tire. The sky continued its glar,ng
redness until daylight, and then every
thing resumed its normal condition.

WINNIPEG, April Ia Free Press
dispatch just received at 1890 A. NJ.
from Battlcford says that the Indian
instructors, James Payne and George
Z. Applegarth, of Eagle Hills, and two
settlers, were killed by Stony Indians.
The settlers coming in were robbed Of
horses, wagons. and loads. Others are
coming in from distant settlements
in a destitute condition, and are
collecting in barracks, where all
are awaiting help. They have plenty
Of provisions there. and can stand
a siege for some time. The half-breeds
are reported to be going towards Clark's
Crossing to cut the telegraph wires.
The wires will probably be cut and
communication from Battleford broken
by tomorrow. The Indians in western
Manitoba are showing signs of disquiet
and will probably join the rebels.
The latest dispatch received from
Battleford last night briefly announces
the killing Of ten citizens and the burn
ing Of the town. No particulars.

zone of survey overlapped the roughly
defined zone Of debatable land in order
to allow for typographical and ethno-

that this suggested extension Of the
zone of survey to the south Of the
boundary-line run by NJ. Lessar, Rus
sian commissioner to arrange the Afghan
boundary dispute, will be serious enough
TO cause further difficulty.
