An English maligner Of Americs
news paper men tells pretty tai,
about the hanging Of murderer
"The murderer had at last been con
demned to DEATH" writes this tattler,
"and the reporters were on the point
Of interviewing him to hear what hi
thought Of the sen tence, when those
of them who represented the evening
papers turned pale with horror. 1t
came upon them all at once that the
prisoner was to be hanged at an hour
that would prevent their getting a
full account of the proceedings into
their last edition. Here wasa pretty
state of affairs Something must bt
done-but WHAT They took counsel
0nong themselves, and then hurried
to the authorities. The latter saw
that grave mistake had been made;
but they could not rectify it without
the prisoners consent. The report
ers went to the prisoner. explained
the state of matters, and begged him,
for the sake Of the public, to stretch
o point IN their favor. He acknow-
lodged the force OF their representa-
tions and consented to be hanged an
hour earlier.n

The way to keep money is to earn

1t is error only, and not truth, that

The Investigation and pursuit Of

1t is a great blindness and a great
misery to seek rest where it is i'm

A rule for living happily with 9th

The Religion OF Confucius.
~ Iiood Words.l

While reverencing an unseen divine
power, Confucius yet never spoke Of it as
personal. He believed in spirits. conformed
to ceremonies, and did not check special
prayers. Once, when sick, his friends asked
that prayers should be made for his recov-
cry. @Is that" said he. @the proper thing
to doa" at is SO set down." they answered.

etc. He then uttered this memorable sem

slant" Men observed that he sacrificed to
the dead as if they were present; yet he
evaded all questions concerning them.
"Shall we serve the spirits OF the deadp
they asked; his answer was: III you can
not serve men, how will you serve spiritsa"
II venture to ask about DEATH" said dis
ciple. "You know nothing about life, how
can you know anything about deathp
"Have the dead knowledger still urged
the eager student @You need not know
whether they have or not" said the master;
"there is no hurry, hereafter you shall

shrank from discussing" Yet the instant

the recognition of personal God, and it
does not amount even to monotheism as
taught by Moses.

FARRAaUr in PHILADELPHIA.
A Sailors Portrait Of the Amirai-what
He Did with His wife's Picture.


Sailors Portrait of the Amirai-what
He Did with His wife's Picture.
Washington Star.l
The following extracts were taken from
the diary notes of a sailor who never went
to school day in his life, but who picked
up reading and writing while sailor in the
navy. He was seaman on board the
United States steamer Hartford during her
famous naval engagements on the Mississ-
ippi before New Orleans, where Admiral
Farragut gained world wide reputation:
1.-THE Hartford received her crew about
the middle of January, 1862 from the re-
ceiving ship Princeton at the Philadelphia
navy yard. They wers picked from about
700 men. She then dropped down the river
to the magazine, and the powder was put
aboard. AT Newcastle Flag Officer Farra-
gut came aboard for the first time. We
had heard that our ship was to be the flag
ship, and everybody was anxious to see tho
new commander. We had heard a good
deal about him, and the opinions of him, as
expressed by the crew, were rather unfa-
vorable. /, like the rest, wanted good
look at him, and so stationed myself near
the poop ladder, near his bin door. After
coming alongside he hurried over his side
Of the Hartford, and, after hastily shaking
uduuS viii tu6 oluCoFS 6t Uu0 gang way,
walked aft into his cabin
ale was small man, only about five feet
five or six inches in height, and his weight
was not more than 100 or lao pounds. He
wore no beard and the top of his head was
bald. The bare place he tried to cover by
combing the side hair across it, The ex-
preston of his face was earnest, though
rather pleaSant and his manner was unas-
Stunning. He was very quick and active in
his movements He was dressed plainly in
the naval uniform Of captain. His coat
was buttoned by single button at the top.
This was his ordinary way OF wearing it,
noticed afterwards, except on occasions of
ceremony. when he would button an odd
button down the breast and then unbutton
it again He was received on board ship
with no ceremony. Soon after he entered
his cabin he came out again and called to
me, the nearest OF any OF the men, to bring
him small nail. ! saw the picture of
lady diis wife) in his hand. He drove the
nail him ell and hung the picture on his
cabin wall" m W VA

The first match factory in the Confed-

owner was an Atlanta man. These matches

like some OF our recent experiments IN that

matches A man did not have 10 strike one
sixteen times and finally hit IL on the head

main trouble was to keep the thing from
going on prematursly. and the only effect
ual safeguard was to keep 1t In bottle Of
water.
They were the most utterly too previous
matches ever seen IN this or any other
country. The enterprise was never profitable
because half the stock was invariably los

Of matches on their way from the factory
to the city would burst into blaze half way
on the road, soaring the drivers and their
mules out Of their senses
