TOUGH TO THE LAST.
An Authentic Account of the Last Hour

An Authentic Account of the Last Hours
of Yankee Sullivan.
was very much pleased to meet last
week with Judge McGowan, one of the
Argonauts who, in 1849. discovered the
golden fleece, which has-to coin
term--royalized California. In the
course of our conversation the Judge
told me the concrete history of the
tragic end of the famous prize-fghter,
Yankee Sullivan
Sullivan. whose real name was Am
brose Murray, was arrested and i'm
prisoned. He feared that the Vigilantes
would put him to death. though, as
Judge MCGOWAN tells me. his appre-
tensions were unfounded. The purpose
OF that body was to ship him back to
Australia on the first clipper ship that
sailed to Melbourne. it having been
definitely understood thai Sullivan. or
Murray. was an escaped convict. The
poor devil, however, was so affrighted
that he took no stock in the hope of es-
cape from the harsh business of Judge
Lynch. He called eagerly from his
prison windows for priest, feeling that
death was settling close around him.
but was answered by jeers from the
mob without Finally, in sheer des-
peration. he opened the veins of his
left arm with case knife and hled
himself to death.
Yankee Sullivan was one of the finest
prize fighters in the records. = Washing

SMALL SAVINGS.
How the Cutting on OF Little ExtrAva-
gances Counts Up.

How the Cutting on OF Little Extrava-
gances Counts Up.
The lesson of making small savings
and of avoiding small extravaganees
will never learned until human
nature has been essentially changed;
and that is why il Is necessary to repeat
and enforce the lesson so often. When
we remember that the whole earnings
Of the people of the United States, rich
and poor old and young, male and
female, amount to an average of less
than fifty cents day, the Importance
of cent is increased. An exchange
puts the case of little extravagances
thus:
Five cents each morning. A mere
trife. Thirty-ive cents week. Not
much, yet it would buy coffee or sugar
for whole family. Eighteen dollars
and twenty-five cents year. And this
amount invested in savings bank at
the end of each year, and the interest
thereon at six per cent, is computed
annually, would in twelve years amount
to more than six hundred and fifty dol
lars. Enough to buy good farm in
the West.
Five cents before breakfast, dinner
and supper; you'd hardly miss it, yet
It's fifteen cents a day; one dollar and
five cents week. Enough to buy wife
or daughter a dress. Fifty-four dollars
and sixty cents year. Enough to buy
a small library of books. Invest this
as before, and in twenty years you
would have over two thousand dollars.
Quite enough to buy good house and
lot
Ten cents each morning; hardly
worth thought, yet with it you can
buy paper of pins or spool of thread.
Seventy cents per week; 'twould buy
several Yards of muslin. Thirty-six
dollars and fifty cents in one year. De-
post this amount as before, and you
have one thousand three hundred and
forty dollars in twenty years; quite .
snug little fortune
Ten cents before each breakfast, din
ner and supper-thirty cents day.
Two dollars and ten cents a week;
enough to pay for years subscription
to good newspaper. One hundred and
nine dollars and twenty cents per year.
With it you could buy good melodeon,
on which your wife or daughter could
produce sweet music to pleasantly while
the evening hours away. And this
amount invested as before. in forty
years, produces the desirable amount
of twelve thousand dollars.
Boys, learn lesson. If you would
be happy youth, lead sober life. and
be wealthy and influential man--in-
stead of squandering your extra
change, invest in a library or savings
bank.
If you would be miserable youth,
lead drunken life, abuse your chill
dren, grievc your wife, be wretched
and despicable being while you live,
and finally go down to dishonored
grave-take your extra change and in
vest in drinking saloon. - Youth's
Communion.

BURNING A CHURCH,
How IL May be- Done Cheaply and Ex
AaditinusIv.


This art has been practiced with emf
nent success. We have had two very
complete examples in the neigh borhood
of Boston within the last few years, and
we burn one church and half pei
week, sometimes two, in the United
States This art is very simple. Inside
of stone or brick exterior sham, con.
struct timber church with q ioisted
floor, sheathed overhead in the cellar so
as to create a certain number of wooden
cells, each one connecting with hollow
space between the outer stone sham
and the inner wooden structure, built
of light timber and fastened to the
stone walls by cross-braces of sawed
wood. very numerous. Connect these
interspaces in the vertical walls not
only with the tellulaf door, but also
with large cavity in the roof between
the inch boards of the roof and the
false ceiling of the interior wooden
structure; then set a furnace of an APP
proved pattern, with a metal air-box
near the furnace, but connecting with
q wooden air-box in the hollow floor.
On the Friday of avery cold week, when
"Old Prob says that Saturday wifl BE
warm light very hot fire in the fur
mace. BY Saturday night or Sunday
morning the pressure of the cold air Of
the early part of the week, which had
accumulated inside the church, will
have circulated doa0ntoard through the
furnace, and will have forced the hot
air through the wooden air-box In the
hollow door to sufficient extent to set
it on fire; the fire will be carried
through the wooden cells in the hollow
walls to the hollow spaces in the roof in
about five minutes, and the first alarm
will be given by some one who sees the
smoke issuing from the peak of the roof
The whole of the interior structure be-
ing protected from water by the stone
or brick sham, the destruction of the
church will be very certain. This is
customary and very successful method

Pity a Poor Blind Man.

A week or so ago ragged little boy
called at house on Austin Avenue to
dispose of some dewberries. The lady
of the house, Mrs. John Greenway,
recognized him as the boy who was in
the habit of leading his blind father
about asking for aims
''Please mann, give me two bits fol
these dewberries on account Of my poor
blind father"
''Where is your poor blind fatherp"
HE is away out in the woods all BY
himself picking dewberries. He picks
ten quarts a day." replied the boy, as
tears gathered in his honest blue eyes.
Poor fellow, / am so sorry for him,
said Mrs. Greenway, who is good
hearted, but not any too smart, as she
handed over the money, tears gather
ing likewise in her honest blue eyes
