Longfellow's Visit to Jules Janin.

From an anecdotal article on Long
fellow, by Mrs. James L. Fields, made
up from personal remembrance and
from letters, in the April Century, we
quote the story by the poet of his first
visit to John Janin, the French critic:
"The servant said her master was at
homo, and he was ushered Immediately
into small parlor, in one corner of
which was winding stairway leading
into the room above. Here he waited u
moment while the maid carried in his
card, and then returned Immediately to
say he could go up. In the upper room
sat Janin under the hands of barber,
his abundant locks shaken up in wild
confusion, in spite of which he received
his guest, quite undisturbed, as though
it were matter of course. There was
no fire in the room, but the fireplace
was heaped with letters and envelopes,
and trail of the same reached from his
desk to the CRATE. After brief visit
Longfellow was about to withdraw,
when Janin detained him, saying:
"What can / do for you in ParisP
Whom would you like to seeP"
III should like to know Madame
George Sand"

ONLY HALE ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women, who to
coin phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, fdgety and troubled by num-
berless small pains and aches, In the presence
of vigorous, eXuberent vitality they seem
mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond
of frequently dosing themselves, swallowing
in the course of year enough drugs to stock
any apothecary's shop of average dimensions.
This of course defeats instead of furthering
the end in viewviz, the recovery ofhealth and
vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing
source of vitality Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
how different would be the case. Then vigor
would return to their debilitated frames. the
glow OF health to their wan cheeks, their
uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic,
appetite that grandest OF all sauces, would
give a relish for the food, were it ever so
coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the
tasks of the day.

RecoIIections Of a Great Earthquake.

Belfast Journal
There is nothing that will take the lining
out of a man quicker than an earthquake
remarked Capt. E. P. Cunningham of North
port, retired shipmaster, a few days ago.
The captain spoke from experience, having
been at africa in the Belfast ship Northern
Chief at the time of the earthquake of
August 10 and IA, 1868, which involved the
loss of 500 lives and $12,000,0O0 worth of
property. The shocks were followed by
tidal wave in which the United States
storeship Fredonia was wrecked, with the
loss of all hands; and the United States
steamer Wateree and other vessels were car
ried ashore and stranded. The Wateree, a
large iron double-ender, was carried i've
miles inland where the hull still remains.
The Fredonia was dashed to pieces on the
rocks. Another ship, with two anchors
down, was lifted ON the wave so that her an
chors were clear of bottom and she then
spun round and round like top. The only
vessels that escaped were the Northern
Chief and another Maine ship commanded
by Captain Watts of Rockland. They took
a sheer off instead of on shore, and as Cap
tain Cunningham describes it went out to
sea as though dozen tugs had them in tow.
Iney were carried ten or Twelve miles OUT
and received no injury. The fortified island
of Alacran, which defends the harbor of
africa, was submerged three times, all the
garrison perishing. The first wave, which
rose to about 40 feet, was succeeded by three
or four others of less height. Among the
curious effects of the earthquake in the vi
entity of africa was the opening of the earth,
and the disclosure Of a large number of
mummies, which had been buried in sand in
a sitting posture, facing the sea, in ceme-
terry covering large area. Captain Cum
ningham, who visited the spot said the
heads sticking up made it look like a field of
potatoes

The Roman Empire.

Notwithstanding the rain, Mrs. McKinstry
was greeted at Union Hall, last evening, by
an appreciative audience who listened with
interest to the subject of Roman history
from B. G. 754 to A. d. 1916, covering period
of over LAO years. The speaker traced the
history of the Romans from the founding of
their city by Romulus through their differ
ent forms of government under kings, con-
suls, dictators, tritunes and decemvirs,
until the empire was erected, and then on
ward through the reign of AZ emperors in a
direct line from Caesar Augustus.
After relating the history, Mrs. McKin-
stry turned to the Holy Scriptures and cited
the great prophetic declarations and repre-
sensations of the book of Daniel, which she
pointed out as referring to this Roman en-
pire and the peculiar events of its history.
