REWARDS FOR THE UPRIGHT.

Men coming out of that mans store say:
'1f there ever was Christian trader that IS
one" Stern integrity kept the books and
waited on the customers Light from the fu-
ture world flashed through the show windows.
Wrath never stamped that floor, nor did sly
dishonesty cover up imperfectiOns in goods.
Love TO God and love to men were the princi-
pies that ruled in the store Of that Christian
trader Some days the shutters are not let
down from the store window, and the bars are
not taken from the door. Men pass along and
stop and stare and go up to read card on
the door which announces: CLOSED ON ac-
count OF the death Of one OF the firm" That
death--it is talked in commercial circles that
good man has gone. Boards OF trade pass
resolutions of sympathy, and churches Of
Christ pray: 'Help, Lord for the godly man
ceaseth." He has made his last bargain. He
has suffered his last loss. He has ached with
his last fatigue The results Of his Christian
industry will bless his children after he Is
dead, and requests to the kingdom of God
will gather many sons into glory Everlasting
rewards in place Of business discipline There
''the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest.n

Discovery of q Race Unacquainted With the
Existence of White Nations
Captain Holm recently returned to
Copenhagen after having spent two
years and half in exploring the almost
unknown region of the east coast OF
Greenland. Although ten or twelve ex-
petitions have set out for East Green
land in the past two centuries, almost
all of them in search of the lost Morse
men, who were supposed to have set
tied there, only one ship ever reached
the coast. The great ice masses, some
times hundreds of miles wide, that are
perpetually piled up againt the shore
have kept explorers from East Green
land long after all other Arctic lands
were fairly well known. With three
assistants Captain Holm landed at Cape
Farewell and then went north some 400
miles. He has returned with large col
lections representing the flora, fauna,
geology and anthropology of this hith-
erto unknown portion of the earth's
surface. He found in those cold and
dismal regions, isolated from the world,
a race of people who had never heard
or known of the great civilized nations
of the earth. They seem to lead happy
lives, and lived in communistic way in
hamlets. They differ entirely in Ian
guage and physical characteristics from
the Esquimaux of West Greenland

A Pair of Indispensables Made of Seven
ty-five Colored Patches.
Mayor Smith recently received from
C. Law, of Pittston, for inspection, a
pair of trousers made of seventy-tive diff
ferent colored patches and weighing
about twenty pounds. A placard con-
tanning the following accompanied the
curiosity:
'These pants were fifty-two years in
actual service by North Carolina col
ored gentleman by the name of Sam
Williams, better known in his country
as Father Sam, who is now at the ripe
old age of one hundred and eight years
and still able to walk around. Father of
twenty-three children, all living, the old
est being ninety-one years; ninety-four
grandchildren. He was slave for
sixty-four years. These were his we'd
ding pants, and six of his sons wore the
same pants for wedding pants. They
are highly priced by the old gent and
his children. They were sent to me by
friend, who had to deposit fifty dollars
as a guarantee of their being returned.
They were in actual wear thirty-two
wears, and have been op exhibition for
the past twenty years. They have been
across the ocean four times and on eX-
hbition in all the large cities of the
United States. You are requested to re-
turn them soon, as the youngest son is
to be married and he has the promise of
them to wear on that occasion. "-PhttG-

dow Betting Upon the Turf Affects Both
Loser and Winner.
Looking at the system of betting
generally, not five men in twenty can
afford to lose, and certainly not one in
twenty afford to win. This may seem a
paradox; but few men, unless they have
large fortune indeed, can take settling
quietly. 1t can't be done. A young
man drawing his first winnings is like a
tiger tasting his first blood; he seldom
stops again till he is brought to a dead
lock as a defaulter; his visits are ex-
tended from few afternoons to weeks
after the race-meetings, and the mind
becomes untuned for everything else"
These words are not part of Pur
ltan's diatribe against racing, but were
written by man who loved sport
as keenly as Whyte Melville himself.
And We will cap his reflections by re-
markable passage from the diary of one
of the most notable TURTLES of the CEN

1t is evident from Mr.. Tilden's
letter that as is his wont with all i'm
portant public questions, he has given
the subject of his letter long and ex-
haustiye study. for he writes of harbor
defense like master of a department
in the science of war which has pro-
yoked more expert discussion than any
other. But what is most remark able
is the attention which Congress and
the people will pay to this voice from
Greystone. A venerable man, now ut
terly removed from public life and all
political ambitions, commands more
respect when he speaks than would be
accorded to the utterances on the sub
ieet he discusses of any other citizen
even the President of the United States
himself-M. Y. Sun.
One of the most ridiculous per-
formances in politics lately is the pre-
tense of Senators Logan and Hawley
that they knew all about the act Of
Congress passed last March, providing
for the payment for property belong
ing to officers and enlisted men and de-
stroyed in time of peace, but that Sec
rotary Endicott is muddled about it.
The law limits the liability for articles
to the discretion of the Secretary of
War. Secretary Endicott, an ex-Justice
of the Supreme Bench of Massachu-
sets, saws that this is very loosely
drawn law and advises Congress to
more closely define the duties of the
Secretary. Thereupon the two SEN
ators, who served four years in the
army, but who never have been law
yers, proceed to put very low esti-
mate upon the Secretary's legal ability.

Mr.. Ranspach, tanner of wild beasts
in Germany, has invented an electric
wand which is said to have the most
marvellous effect upon his beasts. He
has experimental himself in his own
menagerie with the following results:
The lion touched with the electric wand
became very frightened. trembled all
over and growled. The tiger received
the touch more calmly, appeared fright
ened and crouched in a corner.
The bear was quite insensible to the
first touches, simply growled and showed
his teeth, but the most strange effect was
upon the boa-constrictor, reptile from
CAYENNE, twenty feet long. On being
touched he became paralyzed and re-
manned six hours without moving, after
which he appeared little better, but re-
manned three days in state OF semi-tor-
por. The elephant on being touched at
the end of his trunk made a great noise
and became so furious that the tanner
bought he would break the bars of his
age. The tanner left. and SO terminated

Rough Glass for Painted Windows

Singularly enough, examinations
made of the painted windows, so cele-
brated as works of artistic genius and
skill, of the old Cathedrals of England
and Continental Europe, show that their
superiority consists really in the in
feriority'of the glass, its richness in the
poverty of its constituents in the very
perfection of its uneven thickness and
in the imperfections of its surface and
its body, all covered, as they are, by the
accommodating dust of ages, and honey
combed by the corroding effect of time.
Like the facets of diamond or ruby,
each little wave and thread and blister
becomes, by interference, refraction and
reflection of the light which plays upon
it, new source of the gem-like bril-
lance, harmony and beauty which dis
tinguish the painted glass of former
centuries. The glass-makers of America
and England now aim to reproduce the
perfection of this old glass by repro
ducing its imperfections. Chicago San.

AMONG HIS NEIGHBORS.
Mr. Hendricks Last Public Appearance
Before His Home Friends.


The sudden death of Vice-President
Hendricks will call wildly to the minds
of many his appearance on the evening
preceding his decease, at the grand re-
ception given at the residence of State
Treasurer Cooper.
While the gathering possessed no po-
litical significance whatever, from the
very nature of things it contained
many of the prominent Democrats of
the State, and was a very brilliant oc-
casion. 1t was at a late hour when the
Vice-President and his wife appeared
upon the scene. After expressing the
courtesies of the evening, Mr.. Hen
bricks paused for some moments on the
threshold of the spacious reception
rooms and contemplated the scene
with smile of unconcealed pleasure.
A slight pallor was noticeable
upon his countenance, yet he
never looked or seemed in
better spirits, and expressed him.
self as being in excellent health.
AS he stood there, with that polished
grace and suavity of manner SO charac-
teristic of his nature, he presented q
magnificent appearance, and never
seemed grander or in fuller possession
of all his powers. There stood before
him many true, tried friend, whose
hand-grasp was more eloquent than
words. Here and there passed many a
frosted head of both parties, touched
by time and the strain of many an
anxious campaign. There were also
present several of the younger politi-
clans, who were wont to seek his coun-
sell and who always met with kind
and encouraging reception. The gem
eral eagerness of the throng to gain his
presence was especially noticeable, and
long interval of Misunderstanding fol-
lowed. He has been received with en-
thusiasm and distinction wherever he
has gone, but the home hearts-the
hearts that touched the tenderest cord
how they crowded about him! 1t was
his last meeting of friends on earth, his
last farewell to them all; and now it
would seem some wise Providence had
drawn them together just once more to
receive the strong magnetic cheer OF
this distinguished leader, and his neigh
bors and friends, regardless of political
faith, who were present on that occa-
sion will have s pleasant remembrance
of the last time when he appeared in
their social midst.
Mr.. Hendricks, in conversation at
the reception, was addressed by some
one present with the remark that he
looked so fresh and youthful that he
must have discovered the tabled fOunt-
ain of perpetual youth. '.No," replied
the Vice-President pleasantly, smiling

The recent inaugural address OF
General John B.. Gordon, as Governor
Of Georgia, is excftingl NO little com
ment from the press ofthe country. In
that address the new Governor pre-
sented but one issue, the importance
Of fuller acknowledgment of State
rights rs. the Capitalization OF power in
the general government. In the course
OF his remarks on that issue, he laid
down this excellent doctrine:
Let 1t be again admitted in the argument
that the plan Of increased central power at
Washington would give stable government,
vigorous social inst. uuons and public
order. But let it also be remembered thai
these are less than half the blessings
promised by the founders OF this republic
Stability is essential; but ste bilitY through
