Eli EcIIpSed.

Away up in New Hampshire, where
the mountains stick their heads above
the timber line, Eli Perkins once ran
across an old man, seated in front of
cabin, and opened up conversation
with him.
Good morning." SAID Eli. with con-
fidence.
Likewise, this way" said the
moutaineer quietly.
"You live here, L presume?' he con-
tinued, letting down little.
Il don't look like was dead, do I?''
answered the old fellow.
''No; of course not; | merely de-
sired to know if this was your place of
residence"
''It's my shanty."
"Thanks. NV name is Perkins, Eli
Perkins, and L was told you were the
oldest inhabitant in these parts, and
could give me some valuable points for
q newspaper letter." said Eli. with I'M
blushing effrontery and an evident de-
sire to get solid with the old man.
care you the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Perkins?"
1.-The same" replied the delighted
Eli.
And you want to know how long
I've been in these parts?"
Yes"
"Well, Mr.. Eliar Perkins, you see
them mountains stickin' their bald
heads up and maxim hats out of the
clouds, don't you?"
Yes"
"Well, Mr.. Eliar Perkins, when /
first come to these parts, the hair was
growing on them bald heads one hun
dred and sixteen feet six inches long.
and we had to comb it with saw-logs
set on end.'
He looked up innocently at Mr.. Per-
kins, and that gentleman bowed down
and kissed the dust at his feet.-Mer-
chant TraUeler.

FOREIGN NOTES.

Zebehr Pasha will be imprisoned on the
island of Cypress.
The Paris Gaulois says the car has assured
Emperor William that the Afghan question
has never threatened the peace of Europe.
The Austrian government sounded the
powers signatory to the Berlin treaty on the
annexation of Bosnia by Austria and the
abolition of the nominal suZerainty at present
held by the porte. 1t is given out that Bis
marck supports Austria.
The be- ief is common at Marseilles, France
that cholera has appeared again in Toulon
1t was brought by the troop transports, and
Toulon is, if possible, in worse condition
ticn than last July. No care was taken to ex-
anime the sick soldiers for contagion. If the
epidemic breaks out there again, France viii.
be culpable in the eyes Of ell christendom.
The terms of the agreement with Russia are
denounced by the English conservatives. The
liberal press admits that the arrangement is
a virtual surrender to Russia of the frontier
demanded. Preparations Tor war, however.
continue on a most extensive SCALE An enor-
nous transport fleet is collecting in the
Thames at Portsmouth and Plymouth. The
size of the feet far exceeds any needed for
the Soudan campaign. The Woolwich arsenal
workshops have been hurriedly enlarged by
the erection of temporary structures and the
workmen on the arsenal are on double time.

friends came about me to take the last
look. felt tears falling on my face.
felt that my last chance had come.
Now, il ever, must shake myself free
from the deadly lethargy upon me.
1t seemed as if my frantic efforts to
break the bonds that bound me must
avail and set the current OF life in
motion.
My mother came to me last. She
leaned across the coffin, and laid her
cheek against my face, and whispered,
"Oh, my boy, you were all | had left,
and l loved you so. !"
Somehow those words seemed to
touch the hidden spring of life. The
stagnant current began to move again.
my will resumed its power over my
body; 1 opened my eyes, and L cried
out, "Mother!"
cannot describe the scene of ter
ror and excitement that followed.
Imagine how it would be il you saw
the dead come to life. For months
after that many looked at me with
frightened faces as if they could not
rid themselves of the impression that
l had really been dead and they be-
held my ghost.
Do you wonder my hair is white?
What wonder at most is that my
mind stood the strain of that terrible
eXperieace.-EtienE b. ReEfOrQ.

An Observing Man.

Some of the writings of the late
Baron Nesroi have been published in
book form in Vienna, from which the
following are selected:
II be ieve the worst of all men, in
Guiding myself, and L am seldom de-
celved."
81 once saw celebrated race horse
that had grown old hitched to swlll
cart. Since then [ don't relish think
inc about my future. p"
'.Poverty is undoubtedly the worst
thing in the world. If [ were
offered a cool ten millions in gold to
be poor I'd refuse to accept the pro-
position.
81 can understand why people at
tend ball, but why anybody should
give ball is something entirely be-
yond my comprehension"
When two wolves meet in the
woods neither of them has the slight
est doubt as to what kind of animal
the other is; but two men never meet
in the forest without each one suspect
NO the other of being a robber.
..There is something irresistibly
fascinating in the life of spy. One en-
lows all the pleasures that thief has,
and vet is regarded as an honest man.

rascal or fool. If he keeps the best.

Road was coming into Stephens Adj
dtion on Monday night the engineer
and fireman saw, to their horror, a
little child not over three years old,
balancing her tiny self upon one of the
rails ahead and clapping her hands in
greatest glee as the iron monster
Numbered along toward her. The en-
eineer shut off steam and reversed the
lever, while the fireman sprang to the
top of the train and set two or three
brakes quicker and tighter than they
had ever beer set before. To blow the
whistle would be nothing but murder,
thought the engineer, for 1t would
surely freighten the child and cause
her to fall in front of the train. So he
called out, and probably the tones of
his voice had never before been so ten
derly modulated. But calling and
motioning were of as little avail as the
endeavors to stop the heavy train so
suddenly. The little girl, knowing no
fear, was waving her sunbonnet and
her laugh could be heard in the cab
of the engine. The strong man clos
ed his ewes and feeling of sickness
came over him. But: t was not des il
ed that that little life should thus be
crushed out. Something-was it mere
chance or the brush of an Angels
wing?-caused the wee one to reel and
fall backward away from the track,
her tiny feet almost touching the
wheels as they went rumbllng past
