A Model of Resignation,

There has Just died here cripple
whose case has attracted the attentiOn
of physicians, scientists, and special
lists all oyer country. This man for
tWenty-nine years has not moved
from his chair by day or night. When
he was years old his spine was in
jured by an accident, and his neck
body, and limbs became paralyzed.
He could not move joint in them.
All his fingers became disjointed, and
the only movable joint in his frame
was in one thumb. He could not
turn his head hairs breadth, He
sat in his chair near window, and
by an ingenious contrivance of mir
rors he was enabled to see what was
going on out of doors and in the room.
AT night his chair was tipped back a
little, and in this position he got his
sleep. Any attempt on his part to
move his limbs caused him the great
est agony. He suffered pain nearly
all the time, and everybody wonders
that he lived so long in this horrible
condition. Many prominent physi.
clans studied his case and gave it up
as unaccountable.
He was so remarkably patient and
devout in the midst of his sufferings
that he won notoriety by serving as
text from which a large number of
sermons have been preached by diff
ferent clergymen who had visited
him. A young sister of his had de-
voted her life to taking care of him.

British Solidity--American Grace.

John Burroughs in the Critic.
When | was in England, whether
in lodgings or in a hotel, one of the
hardest things to get at table was
teaspoon to eat my dessert or sweet
meats with. They always brought
a dessert spoon, which seems large
andawk ward to the American mouth,
Neither were there any small dishes,
such as we have at home. They
brought you jam, or preserves, or
Strawberries OH a plate as large as
dinner plate. In England nearly all
the arts and appliances of life show,
to American eyes, a superabundance
of material. There is more timber
and iron in the wagon more bulk in
the horse that draws the wagon and
more leather in the harness the horse
wears yes, and more hair in the
horses coat. Our domestic animals,
our tools, our vehicles, our architec
ture and our women look trim and
slim compared with the English.
There is probably material enough
in an English van to make two of
orr farm wagons. Easy roads and
heavy vehicles are the rule in Eng
land and poor roads and light vehi-
cIes with us. John Bull does not
know the virtues of hickory, tree
native to this country. Hickory
gives US the most strength with the
least bulk, and this is, no doubt, one
reason of the Iightness and slender
ness of our tools and vehicles. Com
pare an English axe with an Ameri-
can axe; how crude and awkward
the former looks beside the latter;
how shapely our tool is! Our tools
suggest a more def and supple and
lighter race. The tendency in US to
pare down and cut away every SUI
perfluous ounce is very marked. We
are great whittlers. Did we not

lows: A young Scottish lassie, in do
mestic service not far from the town
of Elgin, died from scarlet fever in
her "place." Her clothes were care
fully packed up, and her ''kist" con-
tanning them was conscientiously sent
home to her native village. On its
arrival at the station there was the
usual difficulty of getting il conveyed
over the hills to the place of its des-

the infected kist formed happy

fell i'll with scarlet fever. At last the
friendly lift came, and the box Ia
large wooden onel was carried home,
and the contents generously distrib-
uted among the neighbors. Needless
to say that an outbreak of scarlet
fever in the village was the result
and as to the station, where people
do congregate and often have long to
wait, it would simply be a center from
which many a fever track would
radiate, exciting the usual wonder
whence and how the fever came.

have been guaranteed by the payment OF
$4,000 The charge is made in letter
from the Baron de Billings to Rochefort.
The Baron declares that he was in constant
communication during the siege of Khar-
toum with authorized agents of FL Mahdi,
who had their headquarters at Paris. Not
withstandIng the warfare in the Soudan
and the alleged impossibility of obtaining
intelligence from Khartoum. of which VOL
selcy was constantly complaining, this Par
is agency was in receipt Of direct communi-
cation from Ell Mahdi at least once week.
The offer n at was Made.
When Gordon was securely cooped up ia
hhartoum, the false prophet sent a dis
patch by spy who went in variety of
DISCUSSES from Omdurman to Cairo, whence
the dispatch was transmitted in Geographic
cipher to Paris. The dispatch said the
Mabdl was willing to come to an agreement
with the British Government, by which he
would guarantee the safe conduct of Gordon
and Stewart down the Nile as far as Assou-
in in consideration of the payment of ESQ.,
900. Thy money was to be put into the
hands of trustworthy and confidential
agents, and not to be paid until Gordon
was delivered safe and sound within the
British lines.
Results of the Refusal.
. The Baron preached the proposal to Lord
Lyons, British Ambassador at Paris, who
referred it to the British Government. A
special Cabinet council was held to consid-
er the proposal and it was rejected Lord
Lyons was instructed to reply that the
Government looked upon it as a trap and
refused to enter into any negotiations. Soon
after this reply was sent to FL Mahdi Cor
don sent Stewart down the Nile TO make
his escape, the General being resigned to
the sacrifice of his own life, but wishing to
have his sole English companion and friend
spared. Stewart was promptly killed by
El Mahdi's soldiers and the offer of ram
soming Gordon for $50, 600 was renewed to
Lord Lyons. 1t was again referred to the
British Government and again refused on
the same grounds as before, that the offer
was a trap and that the Muhdi could not
fulfill his protfered contract.

In the Commons.

MIR. Gladstone said he believed it was the
| duty of the late Government to support the
| present Government in the prosecution of
important national aims. The statement
was in the main correct that Russia had
promised the Zulikar pass to the Ameer.
The Government would have his best sup
port in all reasonable efforts to bring that
question to a settlement. Referring to the
Egyptian question Gladstone admitted that
he question of finance was of first import
ance to the Egyptian Government. Until
it was settled nothing could be done. Mr..
Gladstone, in connection with Irish affairs,
said he regretted that controversial matter
had been introduced in the debate. AS q
matter of historic justice, he mentioned
that the very time the Liberal party pro-
posed n cOercive measure, that measure
was accompanied by remedial measures.
The Government, he said, incurred great
responsibility in abolishing the Crimes Act.
It was not the business of the opposition to
wish the Government to fail. If the Gov
eminent should protest properly by means
of ordinary law, he wished it God speed.
Afghan Affairs Again.
The Ameer of Afghanistan attaches little
value to the friendship of either England or
Russia. He considers Lord Dufferin stingy
He had expected from the English much
larger subsidies of money and arms than
those which have been given him. The
Au1eer in giving arms and food to his sub
jects, first exacts the condition that they
will fight, if called upon, either the English
or Russians. The Governor of Afghan,
Turkistan has opened direct relations with
Russia, and it is asserted that he had the
permission of the Ameer, but this is doubt
ed. Large bodies of Russian troops are
moving towards 4Terv and Maimen. The
Russians are sending field hospitals to the
Trans Caspian territory.
The lord Lieutenant
The Earl of Carnarvon, the new Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, arrived in Dublin.
He was received with great enthusiasm and
was cheered by crowds along the whole
route to the Castle. No demonstration of
hostile character was attempted.
Foreign Opinions.
The policy of the new Government, as
outlined by the Marquis of Salisbury, is
not regarded in France and Germany as
altogether reassuring, and his statement
had the effect of causing weak feeling on
both the Paris and Berlin bodrses.

IMMORTALITY!
A CONTINUANCE OF THE "PALL
MALL GAZETTE SENSATION.

| NeWsbOys ArreSted-The Lord Mayors
Opinion "A ShriekinE Mob
Surgeons Appreciation
let in The Light,
The Pal Nal Gazette's third instalment
of its exposures has been put forth. Five
| pages are devote to details. Every case is
so clearly described that the guilty parties
could be located within twenty -four hours
! by detective of the most ordinary intelli-
! gence. Every possible clue is given, except
! the names of the principals. The accom-
panying editorial article is short, but more
! aggressive than any since the exposures
were begun. The editor not only defes,
but invites prosecution. Some men, he
says, will be spared until the last, on ac-
count of their honest wives and worthy
sons and daughters, of whom they were
unworthy fathers.
Ten Little NewsbOys
While Pail Nall Gazette's presses are
running night and day, and the papers are
being sold by the truckload, ten news-ven-
ders have been arrested on a charge of SELL
ing indecent prints. They were taken be-
fore Lord Mayor Fowler and promptly re-
leased or remanded under nominal bail
The Lord Mayor expressed the opinion that
the editor of the Gazette was actuated by
the highest motives. He said that if a
crime had been committed in pointing out
a nest of crimes the publishers should first
be dealt with, after which there would be
time enough to prosecute the men and boys
who bought and sold the paper in the ordi-
nary course of trade.
A ShrieExins Mob.
A shrieking mob has possession of the
sidewalks. News-venders are pressing for
ward to buy copies of the paper at shill-
ing apiece. Eight policemen are on duty
forming the purchasers into line. They are
admitted at one entrance, where tickets for
the papers are bought, and as.soon as they
receive the papers called for by their tickets
they go out of another door and begin to
sell at almost any price they choose to ask.
All Serene.
At the editorial rooms of the paper every
body is apparently serene. Letters have
been received from hundreds of clergymen,
statesmen and merchants thanking the ed
itor for the exposures already made, exhort-
ing him to keep on with the good work and
promising their support in any way it can
be made effective.
