Progressive Euchre.

Progressive euchre, which Is creating
as much of a sensation as roller skating,
takes twelve persons. There are three
tables, each supplied with cards.
One is called the ace, one is called the
king and one the queen table. Take
aces, kings and queens from one of the
packs, and after they have been shuffied,
let each person draw one, the ones draw
ing aces going to the aces table, and
those queens to the queen table-the
persons drawing black cards being part
ners, and those drawing red partners.
When this has been done, the play com.
mences, regular euchre being played.
No games count save those at the ace
table, and each players record at the
table is kept by the scorer.
When a game has been finished at the
ace table the parties who are defeated
go TO the queen table, and those who
have the most points at the kings table
take their places and try to defeat their
victors, while the parties who made the
most points at the queen table take the
places of the persons who left the king
aud queen table for the ace table. At
the king and queen tables they do not
stop playing because they have finished
game, but keep right on until the
game has been finished at the ace table;
on the other hand, if game has been
concluded at the ace table, and the king
or queen table sets have not finished
their game, they do not finish it. The
ones making the most points are victors,
whether less or more than five-3the

A French Penal Colony.

A recent visitor to New Caledonia
gives shocking account of the state of
society in that island. It appears that
the number of criminals living there
amounts to about 10, 500. The mortali-
ty is very great and there are numerous
escapes. During the last ten years no
fewer than 247 convicts who have
managed to smuggle themselves on
board ship have been discovered in the
Australian colonies. The grievances of
of the colonists are, therefore, by no
means imaginary. In the first instance,
no attempt is made to classify the pris-
oners, and the result is often disastrous
to those who are only partially depraved.
The convicts are ultimately divided into
five classes, ranging from men who are
kept at severe labor, without any relaxa-
ton or indulgences, to men who. owing
to their good conduct, enjoy compare
tive freedom, and are restored to family
life. Many of the convicts. however,
employ their conditional liberty in prey.
ing upon the free settlers and the
natives, and the state of things in the
colony has IN consequence become iu-
tolerable. Such being the condition of
New Caledonia, it is not surprising that
there should be strong feeling in Aus
tralla against the proposal to establish a
French penal settlement in the New
Hebrides.

A TOUCHING SCENE.
TOUCH OF NATURE WHICH MAKES
THE WHOLE WORLD KIN.
The Self-Sncrifice of Woman Which
Changed SelfshEess to SympItSy

"There was a pathetic scene on train
on the Western Division of the Erie re-
Gently" said conductor on that road.
! "A woman boarded the train at Olean.
She carried in her arms baby but a
few weeks old. It was very cross and
peevish, and defed all of its nurses eff
forts to keep it quiet. Its cries were at
times SO loud and piercing that the other
passengers could not hide their annoy
ance, and after while audible express
slons Of their feelings came from all parts
OF the car. The woman was patient
under the double trial of the child's
troublesomeness and the evident knowl-
edge of the annoyance it was to her fell
low passengers. She talked soothingly
to the child, placed it in all positions,
and tried to so arrange its wrappings as
to, in measure, deaden-the sound of
its cries. Finally some one in the car,
whose impatience had got the better of
his sympathy, shouted out:
"If that child can't be kept quiet, I
uOp6 lb Wli1 DS ItulOfEu lu6 CdE du
the next station 7
"Tbis unfeeling remark seemed to
meet with general approval, and the
poor woman's eyes filled with tears, and
in attempting to speak her feelings over
came her, and she pressed the baby
closer to her and sobbed violently. She
soon recovered herself, and redoubled
her efforts to keep the child quiet. For
a short time she succeeded somewhat,
but presently the cries of the baby were
as loud and prolonged as ever. At last
a man arose and said sharply:
Madam, it would seem to me that
the mother of an infant should know
how to take at least half care of it,
THE train had now stopped at Sala-
manca. At the remark of the second
speaker, the woman arose in her seat,
and, facing the Car full of passengers,
said, in voice trembling:
"I am not this poor little things
mother. I never saw it before yester-
day, and I believe it hasn't living rela-
tive. Its father was killed on the rail-
road week before it was born. It's
mother, living in a distant place, hurried
to the scene of her husbands death.
The child was born among strangers,
and day before yesterday the mother
died, leaving her little one with no one
to care for it. I lived in the house
where the mother died, and volunteered
to do what [ could for the poor little
thing, and to so with the dead woman's
remains to her native place. Her body
is in this train. L am sorry the child is
so troublesome, but isn't 1t entitled to
some little sympathy?'
"The effect of the woman's words may
be imagined. There were few dry eyes
in the car when she dropped, sobbing,
into her seat. All seifshness was lost in
sympathetic thoughts of the little wan
derer, and score of hands that a mo-
ment before were almost willing to raise
in chastisement of the tabe were now
anxious to extend aid to it and its self
sacrificing guardian. 1t was touch of
nature that makes the whole world kin. !"

A Mormon Story.

A Mormon bishop told friend of the
editor of Salt Lake paper of this, few
days ago, that he had suffered with the
blues all day, because of something one
of his daughters had said to him. When
asked to explain, he said:
"You know my daughter Mary, the
eldest child of my second wife? She is
about the age of Lizzie, who is the
daughter of my first wife. Well, this
morning was going with Mary over to
Lizzies mothers when she suddenly
said
Father, I wish was Lizzie.
81 asked her why, and reminded her
that she was quite as bright and pretty
as Lizzie.
"It is not that she said; 'Lizzie's
mother is your first Wife
sWe did not speak again all the way,
and I have had the blues ever since.
This is true story all but the names.

Bat steslthy shadows follow
And Night withholds her power,
For somewhere in the eastern sky
The shrouded moon is high.
Dews from the wild rose drip unheard,-
Their unforgo otten scent
With that of woods and grasses blent;
No muffled flight of bird,
No whispering voice, my football stops;
NO breeze amid the poplar-tops
The smallest leaf has stirred.
Yet round me, here and there,
A little f1uttering wind
Plays now,-th- Sc senses have OWNED
breath across my hair
A touch, that on my forehead lies,
Aud presses long
These lips so mute of song,
And now, with kisses cool, my half-shut eyes
This nisht2 On, what is hereI
What vlewless aura clings
So fitfully, SO near,
On this returning even-tide
When Memory will not be denied
Unfettered wings?
My arms reach out, in vain,-
They fold the air:
And yet-that wandering breath againl
Too vague to make her phantom plain,
Too tender for despair.

A WOMAN WHO is FAMOUS.
"Middyo Morgan, whom Everybody In
New York is Supposed TO Know.


New York is Supposed TO Know.
About the most extraordinary work
have ever known woman to engage III
is carried on by Miss ''Middy" Morgan,
who is attached to the staff of the New
York Times, says a newspaper CORE
spondent. Miss Morgan's department
is the cattle market, which she follows
with great closeness. For her services
in this line of work she receives a very
fair salary, and she is also paid hand
somely for her services in the interest OF
the Pennsylvania Railway. She does
additional work for one other paper, and
her income ranges close to 500 week.
1t wouldn't be SO very odd for woman
to write up horse-races or public balls,
or various other kinds of events. But
when it comes to deliberately going in
for market reports in the cattle trade,
that considerably lies over anything in
my experience.
Miss Morgan is one of the best known
figures on Park Row. She is tall
woman, whose attire is singularly mas
culine. She wears broad, thick shoes, a
short heavy dress, thick mittens and a
little bit of hat perched on top of her
head. One would pick her out for a
member of the Susan B. Anthony sect OF
strong minded women. She is about 80
years old, and she wears steel-rimmed
spectacles and carries q revolver. 1t
would undoubtedly be a very cold day
for any person who should undertake to
molest MILDLY Morgan, thus armed and
ready for the fray. 1t should not be in
ferred, however, that she is a blood
thirsty or otherwise evilly-disposed per-
son. She lives away out in New Jersey
in house placed at her disposal by the
railway company, and she doesn't gen.
erally reach home until late at night.
After leaving the train she is obliged to
take a long walk down the railway track
in the dark, and she has a wholesome
aversion to tramps and other unlawful
characters.
One afternoon, when she was at home,
three of these gentry came in with the
exclamation: "Well, old woman, what
have you got for us ?" MILDLY went
down into the pocket of her dress and
drew her big revolver, which she lev
eled at the foremost of the trio with the
wholly calm answer: "This is what l
have got for you" The tramps stood
not upon the order of their going, but
entered into wild scramble for the
door. They must have subsequently
come back and left talismanic mark
upon the premises, because, no matter
how thickly the country is loaded with
ruffians of that stripe, they never enter
the grounds of plucky Miss Morgan. 1t
is said that she sometimes speculates in
stocks of various kinds. AT any rate,
people who know her well say she has
accumulated a fortune of close to $780,
900, which is by no means bad for a
lone. lorn woman.

Successful Song Carpeutering.
"What is the latest popular ballad ?

"What is the latest popular ballad p
"Vaniti," replied the publisher.
Frank Howard, the author of I'll
Await My Love and Only a Pansy
Blossom wrote it-that is, he wrote as
much of it as he I'D of the others have
mentioned. He i Pa ballad singer with
Thatcher, Primrose and Vests Min
strel's, and his income from song royal
ties is between $500 and $400 week.
No, he is not remarkable musician.
He understands music and has a nice
voice. Hundreds of better musicians
fail as writer's of songs. Howard is the
son of an Iowa clergyman. Half dozen
years ago Mlt Barlow, the minstrel,
found the young man travelling with
iver-pad peddler in the West. Howard
by his singing drew the crowds, and then
gave way to his partner, who sold
the pads. Barlow was struck by
the sweetness of Howard's voice, and
hired him for twenty-five dollars week
to sing in Barlow, Wilson, Primrose &
Vests Minstrel Company. His voice
and his songs made him popular and he
now receives $100 week salary. The
way his songs are composed would
astonish many better musicians. How
ard will write the words of song, and
then with three or four members of the
company will proceed to hammer a suit
able air out of hotel pianos. They will
work hour after hour for days, correcting,
changing, and culling out bar after bar
until they at last agree that an appro-
pirate air has been made. Then it Is
written out and tried in public. If at
all successful Howard sends a copy to
his publisher and it is put upon the
market. There is story among min
strels that Howard paid another singer,
Harry Talbot, twenty dollars for the
words and music of I'll Await My Love
If so, it was a good piece of judgment
on Howard's part, for he has made two
or three thousand dollars on that song
alone."

position in Gods plan. We are believ-

We do not believe that the stars in the

the field, the metals, minerals and fos-
sils in the earth can teach us the A B @
