THOMAS w. KEENE.

Thomas w. Keene, the actor, was stricken
with paralysis, at reception rendered him
on January 3rd, at Kansas City, Missouri,
by the local lodge of the Order of Elks.
Thomas w. Keene, whose prostration by
paralysis so soon after John McCullOugh's
sad end will attract general attention, was
born in New York City in 1S4G. His father
was at one time proprietor of the New Or
leans Bee, and was subsequently connected
with the New York Courier and Enquirer.
At the age Of sixteen, young keene began
his stage career in the New York Bowery.
His first speaking part was 'Lucius" in
Julius Caesar, which he enacted in the
Chinese Museum, New York. He grad
ualIy rose in his profession until in 1865 he
was leading man in Kate Fishers COM
pany playing in Newark. 1t was in this
city that he supported Pauline Cushman.
His next engagement was at New York,
where he supported Lucille Western and
the late Frank Crank Chanfrau. Thence he
went to Cincinnati, supporting Ristori, and
played in that city for long while. In
1870 he made successful professional tour
of England. Returning to America, he
supported Davenport, Booth, Barrett, Nc
Cullough, Jaunescheck and Owens, playing
the leading man with each. His success
nerved him to essay the role of a star and
since 1880, he has been playing in Hamlet,
Richard III, Shylock, Othello, Richelieu
and other characters. He gained many adj
mirerS and soon became popular in these
roles

Col. Edmund Richardson, a leading cot
ton merchant in New Orleans, was stricken
with apopleXy at his home in Jackson,
Miss, on the night of the 18th instant, and
died before assistance could reach him.
By the death of COL Richardson fell the
largest cotton planter in the world, the
richest man in the whole South, and one
who stood among his people conspicuous
for masterful achievements, his splendid
success in life, and the glory of his record.
He was as bold a figure in the history of
Southern finance as William II. Vanderbilt
was in New York. His cotton crops were
wonder to the world. He was the owner
of nineteen plantations in Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Mississippi, covering over fifty
thousand acres, and his annual crop was
never less than nineteen thousand bales.
He was a man of rare public spirit, fore
most in every enterprise for the veal of his
native land, and large hearted and gener-
Gus in every impulse, he made his prince
ly fortune great power for good. To his
efforts was the New Orleans exposition of
last year greatly due for its success. AS
President of the Association he lent his en-
ergy to the enterprise, and it was doubtless a
matter of rare pride to this great Southern
farmer that he had lived to assist in such
an exhibition Of the South's products. On
ly few days before his death he had SUBJ
mitted to President Cleveland in his own
capacity as President Of the Worlds Indus
trial and Cotton Centennial, a full report of
the New Orleans Exposition, concluding his
report with these words:
''In closing this report desire to express
the grateful thanks of the Southern people
to the President and the Congress of the
United States for the opportunity so happi-
ly afforded, under the auspices of the Gov
ernment of the United States, of demon
strating to the world their remarkable pro-
gress, while at the same time the States and
Territories of the Northwest were enabled
to make for the first time in their history,
complete display Of their marvellous nat
ural resources in friendly and harmonious

"Or perhaps" said Burton with sudden

competition with their predecessors in the
Federal compact. The lesson thus taught
will not 60 unheeded, and its result is al
ready manifested in the quickening pace
of industry and the renewed impetus i'm
parted to the development of the newer
States and Territories, while, at the same
time, new fields of commercial enterprise
have been opened to the nation in the neigh
boring countries of Mexico and Central
America, with promise of abundant results,
and the North and East have been present
ed with new outlets for their enormously
increased manufactured productions. The
cause of public education. which is now so
appropriately receiving the attention of the
Congress of the United States, a cause in
which the Southern States are peculiarly
interested, and which embraces problem
upon the solution of which almost the en-
tire fabric of the future of this section de-
pends, was greatly assisted and stimulated
by the displays presented at the Exposition
from every country in the world, and the
opportunity thus afforded for comparison
and improvement. In this respect alone the
Exposition is worthy Of record as the most
conspicuous event of the century in the
cause of civilization and progress, and its
lesson should not be disregarded in the con-
sideration of the question of national aid to
public education"
Col. Richardson was native of Rocking
ham county, n. c., and moved to Missis-
sippi to engage in planting when young
man.

OPEN TIE WINDOWS EVERY DAY.
One of the most important causes Of the
greater prevalence of disease and the high
er death-rate in the winter months, as COM
pared with the milder seasons, is the alb
Sence of house ventilation or its imperfect
character in cold weather. 1t should be un-
ceasingly taught by the family physician
that when doors and windows are closed to
exclude the outer air there must be some
other provision for the supply Of fresh air,
or sickness will result. Every stove, fire.
place, or furnace used to warm a house not
supplied with proper fresh-air inletS is an
engine for sucking up the ground air from
the polluted soil beneath the house and for
drawing in the sewerair through every trap,
washbowl, and closet.
Typhoid fever, diphtheria and pneumonia
are the diseases most to be dreaded from
such causes. There is reason to believe,
indeed, that this latter disease is much
more largely due to the contaminated at
mospherc Of dwellings than exposure to
cold and inclement weather, to which latter
cause it is usually attributed. Its relation
with typhoid fever has long been observed
by medical writer's, and recent observations
point to the presence of some Of the micro
scOpic filth organisms as it causative agent.
Thorough ventilation of sleeping apart
mcnts when not actually in use, and proper
supply of fresh air when occupied, would
do more to prevent those diseases than any
amount of warm clothing, chest-protectors,
etc. Open up the bedrooms during the
sunny hours every day, and let them fill
with the fresh outdoor air.
Ray" If thou wOuldst find much favor and
peace with God and man, be very low in
thine own ewes. Forgive thySelf little and
others much.

SHE WAS ENGAGED.-The scarcity of
young women in Yakima county, w. r.,
has not only caused considerable ill-feeling
among the marriageable young men, but is
certainly proving an obstacle to education.
Just as soon as a young lady is installed as
teacher of a school, scores of young fellows,
upon matrimony intent, vie with each 9TH
er to act as her escort to her boarding house !;
and it occasionally happens that one of
them will demonstrate his right to act as her
gay cavalier by "knocking out" the others,
should they persist in their attentions to
the new teacher.
Two or three weeks courtship, under
such circumstances, is usually enough to
convince young lady tlat"a school teach
er's life is not happy one," and that of a
wife is far preferable. Then the primitive
university is shut up until a new teacher
is found, and the youngsters, having no
lessons to learn, devote their entire time to
pleasure, and are as happy as the young
husband who stole away their teacher.
A member of the school committee, who
had been empowered to secure teacher for
Il school temporarily closed because the for
mer incumbent had been persuaded to de-
sert her pupils in the manner described
above, had introduced a decidedly original
resolution in the School Board 1t was to
the effect that no "lady shall hereafter be
engaged unless she signs Il paper declaring
that she will not get married until a year
has expired after the time of her installa-
ton as teacher" This, it was thought,
would prove settler to the young men who
were ever on the alert to cause the deser-
ton of the teachers from their posts ofduty.
Mr.. Beebe, the author of the resolution,
after much correspondence, engaged a lady
to officiate as teacher. She came from a
distance, and he went to the railroad station
to meet her. There for the first time, he
delicately sounded her regarding her will
ingness to sign document promising to
continue single for year. She emphati-
cally refused, and declared that rather than
agree to such ultimatum she would return.
Mr.. Bpebe saw that she was in earnest.

1.-THE SWAMP EL."-When General
Gilmore laid out his plan of operations
against Charleston, S. c., and its defences
in the summer of 1868, he decided to plant
battery in the marsh, at some point
whence it might be possible to reach the
wharvcs and shipping of the city with
shells. The marsh here was a bed of soft
black mud, sixteen to eighteen feet deep,
Overgrown with reeds and grass traversed
by tortuouS, sluggish water courses and
overfowcd at high tide. Here, at a point
midway between Morris Island and James
Island, fully five miles from the lower
end of Charleston, on Il strong platform
of logs, placed directly on the surface Of
the marsh but strengthened beneath the
gun platform by piles driven through the
mud into the solid sand below, and filled
between with sand, was planted the battery.
1t mounted single gun, an eight inch RI
fled Parrot gun. The gunner was protected
by a sand-bag parapet. August "a, 1853,
General Gilmore demanded the surrender
of Charleston. The demand being rejected
fire was opened from this gun upon the city.
Several Shells did reach the lower part
of the city, and caused much damage by
exploding among the warehouses there,
but no persons were harmed. The Swamp
Angel did not, however, long continue to
terrify the Charlestonians. Being fired at
a considerable elevation, with a charge of
sixteen pounds of powder, and impell-
ing a projectile weighing 80 pounds, it
burst at its thirty-sixth discharge. AS
Fort Wagner, fully mile nearer the city,
was taken, September I, and its guns turn
ed against Charleston, the marsh battery
was put to no further use.-Hter ocean.

SAILORS TOKENS, CHARMS AND KEEP
sAKEs.-Sailors, the most superstitious of
men, and oitenest away from Nancy or Sue,
are great at love tokens. They wear a
charm on silken string around their necks;
they tattoo their manly arms with two
hearts transfxed by single arrow, and
marked respectively "Jack" and "Molly,"
and they believe, or pretend to believe, in
the magic power of such symbolical unions
to keep their affections true to their lady
loves against all allurements of alien beauty.
Moreover, the keepsake, beside containing
as often as possible the hair Of the beloved
object, is almost always made of precious
metals or precious stones.
There is common though indefinite
feeling that it ought to be something rather
useful in gold or silver. Itremainsremote
ly true, in fact, to its amulet origin. Gold
and silver and precious stones are of i'm
mense antiquity. Something to hang around
your neck on a string; something to wear
as charm on your watch chain; or, failing
these, something in the way of a necklet,
bracelet brooch, earring--that is the ordi-
nary ideal of the keepsake. The ideal, in
short, descends from time when clothing
was scanty, personal ornament was matter
of high Importance, barbaric decoration
alone was known, and goods and chattels
were few and simple. We seldom think of
giving as a keepsake anything that can
not be worn about the person.-Longmdn's
Magazine.
PARENTAL HONOR.-The words, "Honor
thy father and thy MOTHER" meant four
things-always do what they bid you, al
ways tell them the truth, always treat them
lovingly, and take care of them when they
are sick or grown old. l never yet knew
boy who tramped on the wishes of his par
ents who turned outwell. God never bless
es wllfully disobedient son.
When Washington was sixteen years old,
he determined to leave home and be a mid
shipman in the colonial navy. After he had
sent off his trunk, he went to tell his moth
er good-by. She wept so bitterly, he said
to his negro servant, "bring back my trunk,
1 am not going to make my ersutfer so
by my leaving her."
He remained at home to please his moth
err This decision led to his becoming sur
veyor, and afterwards a soldier. His career
in life turned on this one simple act of try
ing to make his mother happy, and he new
er had occasion to shed bitter tears for any
act of unkindness to his parents. Let us
not forget that God has said, "Honor thy
father and mother" YOUTHS Companion.

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE EUpIIRATES.-
The Euphrates river, once mighty stream,
seems likely to disappear altogether. For
some years the river banks below Babylon
have been giving way so that the stream
spreads out into Il marsh, until steamers
could not pass, and only a narrow channel
remained for the native boats. Now the
passage is being filled up, and theprospect is
that the towns on the banks will be ruined
and the famous river itself will he swal-
lowed up by the Chicago Herad.
