Two Sorts OF Courage.

Commodore Garrison was once cap
tain of a steamboat on the Mississippi,
and while selling tickets one day hap
pened to rouse the Ire of passionate
old man, who drew his pistol. and,
presenting it at the narrow window,
full LII the captain s face. fired.
The cap snapped. He tried sec
ond time, and again failed. Garrison E
OWE pistol lay within reach, but in
stead OF taking it up he quietly opened
u drawer, took out a box of percussion
caps, and. handing it to his would-be
murderer. said:
Take new capi yours don't work
we'll"
The furious man stared at him a
moment, then burst into q laugh, and
held out his hand.
Another kind of courage is exem-
pliiied In E story told by a young New
York inventor, who, shout twenty
years ago. spent every dollar he was
worth in az experiment which, if sue
cessful, would introduce his invention
to public notice and insure his fortune
and what he valued more-his useful
ness
1t failed. The next morning the
daily papers keaped unsparing ridi-
eule on him- Hope for the future
seemed vain. He looked around the
shabby room, where his wife q. deli
cate little woman, was preparing
breakfast. He was without a penny.
He seemed like fool in his own eyes;
all these years of hard work were
wasted. If he we're out of the way,
she could return 60 her friends. He
went znto his chamber, sat down and
buried his face in his hands, with a
desperate resolve to end it all, Then,
with q fiery heat flashing through his
body, he stood erect.
''It skGIl succeed" he said, shutting g
bis teeth. His wife was crying over
the papers when he what baces. ''They
are very cruel," she said.
"They don't understand. I'll make
them understand" he replied, cheer
fully.
1t was fight for six years." he
said afterward. Poverty and sick
ness and contempt followed me. I
had nothing left but the dogged deter
mination that it should succeed" 1t
did succeed. The invention was a
great and useful one. The inventor
is now prosperous and happy man.
"Be sure you're right" he says to
younger men, ''then never give up"

A Salt Lake Saints Architectural
freak.

On the corner of Third South and
Eighth East streets, Salt Lake City, u
man has built fantastic CRIB, gaudy
with whitewash and paint and lace and
curtains and rnde images-a some
thing between q Chinese temple and Il
brigand's s tent-and his neighbors say
he has erected it in anticipation Of
the second coming of the Savior; that
he expects the Master now at any
time, and has prepared this place for
His reception. When people speak of
him they tap their foreheads, as though
in their judgment there were rats in
his intellectual garnet. Probably
there are; but it is clear case that he
has but accepted as literally true what
has been preached around him for
these forty years. We do not know
whether or not he is Mormon, but he
has in his work caused real Mormon
ism to materialize, SO that it can be
seen by the naked eye on his premises
precisely as it has been preached by
the Mormon chiefs through all the
weary, pitiable years. He has evil
IDENTIFY stinted himself and those de-
pendent upon him to prepare this fam
tastic house, just as the Mormon chiefs
have robbed their people and starved
their minds by not supplying them
with decent schools, in order to build
gaudy temples, within which not one
in ten of their people can ever rest
their tired feet.-SGU Lake Tribune.

Phil Daley'S Chapel.

Phil. Daley, whose Pennsylvania
club is said to be the most gorgeous
gaming table in America, writes q
Long Branch correspondent to THE
Neo0 York Su3a, has moved his family
into the villa which he has added to
his belongings. The house is much
bigger than the average of the sea-
side dwellings, and its architecture is
ornate in the extreme. Eccentric ga
bles, irrelevant pieces of roof, and
other devices break the lines in all
parts, and at one corner rises round
turret somewhat like the steeple of a
church A solid wall of brick with an
ornamental fence and gate surround
the plot. The exterior surface of the
house is polished and stained hard
wood, in a semblance of tiles. At
One is lettered A'Tootsey" and the
ley's two children. The interior is
decorated in a costly and snowy style.
Handsome wood, exquisite fresco and
elaborate wallpaper make the rooms
resplendent.
The apartment which is more curl
GUS to Long Branchers than was the
blue chamber to Blue Boards wives is
a chapel; but no magic key has locked
its doors against intruders. and, until
the arrival of the dwellers, visitors
have been numerous. The chapel is
twelve feet square. The floor is pol
ished wood, with an Oriental rug on
it. The walls are frescoed in imita-
tion of dark drapery. The ceiling is a
painted sky, and at the .oenter is a
white dove on the wing. The one
window is stained glass, cathedral
fashion. The alter is about six feet
long and eight high. 1t is made of
carved and tinely-decorated wood, the
prevailing colors being maroon and
gilt. Two heads of angels are en-
.bellishing features. The .draperies
are specimens of fine embroidery. A
solid gold cross, said to have cost
1000, is kept In a safe at nj ight, but
by day it is to stand on the altar. The
receptacle for the host is provided as
in regular church altar.
Those who know Daley say that he
built the chapel in Difference to the
wishes of his wife, who is pious
woman. He means to engage Rev.
Father Mccoy, pastor of the Star of
the Sea church, directly aeross the
street. to celebrate a mass in the ora
tory every morning throughout the
season, and the clergyman is willing
t0,do so if his bishop gives permission.

Bill Nye ami the Bronze Goddess,

I am in favor of Statue of Liberty
Enlightening the World, because it
will show that we keep it on tap WIN
ter and summer. We want the whole
broad world to remember that when
1t gets tired of oppression it can come
here and oppress us. We are used 10
it and we rather like it. If we don't
like it we can get on the steamer and
go abroad, where we may visit the
effete monarchIes and have high

The sight of the Goddess of Liberty
standing there night and day, bathing
her feet in the ripping sea, will be
good thing. 1t may be productive of
good in a direction that many have
not thought of. AS she stands there;
day after day bathing her feet in the
broad Atlantic, perhaps some moss

An English lady had occasion some
time since to travel without escort
from Suffolk to London, and she was
forced to take a train on which there
were no carriages reserved for ladies.
ssI here is q compartment occupied
only by the Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon,' the
guard said in answer to her expression
of disappointment, perhaps you do
not object to riding with him.
The lady aeauieseed, and according
ly was so placed. An inquiry on the
part of the reverend gentleman in
relation to the window opened the
conversation. and presently the two
travellers We're discoursing amicably
upon general topics. At length they
reached Mr.. Spurgeon' S native village,
where the train paused a few mo-
mentS.
81 presume, Madam" the gentls-
man observed with genaiae enthus-
1asm, that You have heaud of Spur
geon. the great preacher. This viii
lage has the honor of being his BIRTH
place"
He went on from this text, drawn
out somewhat, it is true, by the lady.
and praised himself most unsp&ringly,
declaring Spurgeon TO be the greatest
divine in all England. When London
was reached he politely assisted the
lady into & cab, and was bidding her
goodbye, when she said:
IL thank you very much for your
kindness, Mr.. Spurgeon-
Surprise, chagrin and anger all
painted themselves upon the f:cce of
the other, but he apparently struggled
to maintain his countenauce and his
temper. Striking himself melodrama-
ticaIly upon the chest, he exclaimed:
''Down. temper! Down. temper,
down."
And. turning upon his heel, he Left

lIFE'S DAY.

Into the field of life we pass
At early morn. The jeweled grass
With sunbeams kissed spreads at our feet.
And youth, like morn, all pure and sweet
And bright is filed with rosy dreams;
While in the purple heavens CLEANS
The star of fortune and of fame,
And in its Fight we read name
o dream, most sweet, it is our own:
More glorious still, it shines alone!
The sun speeds on; the star no more
Is seen. Illusjve dreams are DER.
Fortune and fame SO coy and fleet
But mock our weary, warworn feet
Ambitious fairest prize has flown;
A name appears, but not our own.
What have we then for all our pains?-
For all our prayers? Are there no grains
OF good to shows Has all been lost
In that our cherished plans are crossed,
And diss1pated each fond dream
As snow fakes melt within the stream?
All, no! See how our souls are filled
With wealth of harvests we have titled;
With meekness, patience, love and truth;
Blest springs of everlasting youth;
Bright jewels of the crown within;
Ripe fruit of hfe's sharp discipline;
OF which there dawns the twilight gray
OF day that dies not with the day.

A Great Iron Family.

On The 26th of May, writes Ian
caster, Pa, correspondent to Ihe PhtI-
udelphia Times, Clement Brooke Grubb
tepurchased the old Mount Hope fur
mace property in this county for the
sum OF $500, 900 cash. This is one of
the finest old iron properties IN this
country, embracing $500 acres OF
land, with fine farm and the man
sion. although built by Henry Bates
Grubb nearly one hundred years ago,
IS one of the finest in the state, and is
really modern style, having an i'm
mense hall and ceilings fifteen feet
aioh throughout. 1t is situated on an
eminence which affords front view OF
almost unprecedented beauty and
grandeur extending to and over the
city of Lancaster, which city is fifteen
niles distant, and it is fianked on the
east by beautiful and extensive ter
raced lawn and garden, making it one
Of the most lovely summer residences
possible to conceive. The connection
of this estate with the great Cornwall
ore mines, in which it has a perpetual
right for full supply of ore. is what
gives it its great commercial value, and
the desire to again possess the old
homestead where he was born, and to
regain that ore right which was con-
geyed by him to his brother, A. Bates
Grubb, more than thirty years ago, in
tuced Mr.. Grubb to make the pur-
chase.

Grubb, came from Wales, near Corn
wall, to this country in 1879, and made
large purchases of land in what are
now Lebanon and Lancaster counties
from the Indians, and subsequently
had the titles confirmed by William
Penn, and upon one of these tracts he
found an immense deposit of iron ore,
which he named Cornwall, and which
mine is still the wonder and admira-
ton of all who visit it. Mr.. Isaac
Lowthian Bell, NJ. P, and the greatest
ironmaster IN England, and whose
opinion is considered authority
throughout the world, told me when
he was in this country in 1876 that he
had visited most of the great iron
mines an the world, including those of
Spain, Algeria, the continent Of Eu-
rope, England, Scotland, and Wales,
and many in this country, including
those of Alabama and the iron noun
tain of Missouri, and then said: "But
Cornwall bears the palm as the great
est iron mountain in the world" From
geological investigation, aided by
tests made with the diamond drill, it
has been pretty we'll demonstrated
that Cornwall can produce 500, 600
tons of ore per year for three hundred
years to come. The original Cornwall
furnace was built by Cirtus Grubb in
1925, who operated it for many years.
Peter Grubb, the second, built Mount
Hope furnace in 1884. The Cornwall
ore mines are now owned and worked
by the families of the Grubbs and Cole
mans under the head of the Cornwall
Ore Bank company

Where the Scorpion Gets His Poison.

When he strikes you with the end of
his tail, like wasp, he exudes ven
omous liquid, and man might better
hold red-hot iron in his hand than to-
get tenth part of a drop of this
liquid into his blood. 1t is not neees--
sarily fatal, particularly in the Bahia
mas; but it condenses the heat of forty
furnaces. In some parts of South
America scorpion bites are frequently
fatal, but have not heard of any one
having been killed by them in Nassau.
This is easily accounted tor. The
scorpion likes to feed on decaye6.
wood. In South America, where dye
woods and other poisonous woods.
abound, the scorpion feeds upon them,
and thus work into themselves good
supply of outside poison, which, taken
together with his naturally poisonous
liquid, does its work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to be sturg. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few. and the scorpions have to fatten-
themselves respectfully on pine. cedar
and mahogany.-Frona Nassau Let-
ter.
