He was kept concealed till Hopkins recov-
cred, for it happened that he did not die.
Terry was then free again.
The leader of the Free Soil party was
David C. Broderick. The fight increased in
Intensity. All the principal men of both
parties went armed, not knowing what mo-
nsnt they might be shot in their tracks 1t
was time when men died with their
boots on.
Gwin had been elected to the United
States senate by the aid of Broderick. 1t was
even said he had gone down upon his knees
to the Free Soil leader. Be that as it may, he
afterward became Brodericks bitterest
enemy. Broderick at length was elected
senator himself. He was popular with the
people. In campaign speech he threatened
to tell the secret negotiations whereby Gwin
had been elected to the senate.
Terry was set to quarrel with him. A
pr9text was easily found, and Terry chal-
lenged him. A United States senator fight
ing duel with border ruffian is not an
edifying sight. 1t could hardly take place
in our time, though it happened less than
thirty years ago, in 1859
The two met. Broderick's pistol dis
charged prematurely. Terry saw this, but
took deliberate aim and fired. BroderlcK
died few days after. in mortal agony. 1t
was more murder than death in duel
Broderck was not an original anti-slavery
man. He was a Douglas Democrat But
events developed him, as they did Abraham
Lincoln and Grant. There are five national
tragedies in the history of this country-ihe
assassination of Lincoln, the hanging of
John Brown, the killing of Hamilton by
Burr, the murder of Garfield and the shoot
ing of Broderick by David S. Terry.
Brodericks funeral was one of the largest
ever seen in California. Terry fled. When
his friends had prepared the way he came
from his hiding place and demanded fair
trial The day was fixed. The judge was
friend of his An hour before the time set
Terry and the judge appeared. The clock
was set ahead an hour, form of waiting
was gone through before the prosecuting at
torney and his witnesses appeared, and
Terry was acquitted. j. H. INGERsoLL.

successful revivalists, indicated a career en-
tirely different from that which he eventu-
ally chose. At the age of 15 he entered
Roanoke college, in Virginia, but before the
session closed the school was disbanded on
account of the war. He then entered the
Confederate service, being but 16 years ct

he returned in eight months to his home.

Prime Minister of France,

Whether NJ. de Freycinet would succeed
NJ. Brisson was greater question in France
almost than whether NJ. Grevy should sue
ceed himself. 1t is the ministry that reflects
the power in politics. and it is to this office
that the Frenchman gives most attention
The average duration of the eighteen gov
ernments the country has had in the last
three centuries is sixteen years The present
republic has lasted fourteen. At the begin
ming of 1885 Jules Ferry was prime minister.
He was succeeded during the year by NJ.
Brisson, who Oas president of the chamber Of
deputies, but consented to ''form a cabinet"
as it is called, on the downfall of Jules Ferry.
He lost his popularity from that time stead
lily. The French consider the war in Ton
quin not to have been managed with the
highest degree of craftsmanship, therefore
NJ. Brisson resigned. The truth is, with a
giant debt and masses of unemployed work
ingmen staring them in the face, matters are
in such tangle that nobody quite likes to
take hold of it.
NJ. Brisson is a brilliant man. 81 years old,
formerly a prominent newspaper writer.

NJ. de Freycinet was called upon to
form new ministry when NJ. Brisson re-
tired. He has been a member of several
cabinets, and is now minister of foreign af-
fairs He is one of the foremost advocates
in France of liberal colonial policy, and
was largely instrumental in forwarding the
operations in Tonquin and Madagascar that
have cost France so heavily in lives and
treasure. He is by profession civil en-
gineer, and served the government in num-
Der of important scientific operations before
he began his political career
In 1879, when NJ. Grevy had succeeded
Marshal MacMahon as president of the re-
public M. Freycinet was appointed presi-
dent of the council in place of NJ. Wadding-
ton, and he took the portfolio of foreign
affairs. He resigned in 1880, in consequence
of the difficulties relative to tue execution
of the degrees against the unauthorized
religious orders; and NJ. Jules Ferry
was then intrustad with the formation
of new cabinet. In January, 1882, M. GAM
betta's ministry was overthrown on the
Scrutin de Liste proposal, by ma jority in
the chamber of 305 to 110 M. de Freycinet
was then recalled to power, and again held,
with the presidency Of the council, the port
folio of foreign affairs. Suck are the
changes in France.

[Rossie Chandler in The Century.l
Now winter is fighting his battles
With many an icicle lance,
But I'm writing ''gentle spring poem
Which the editors wish sin advance
1t is full, as is usual, of ''violets,"
1t alludes to the robins first peep"
Though a blizzards daily occurrence
And the snow drifts are seven feet deep.
But the editors-singular creatures,
To whom | am bound hand and foot
Grasp at Father Times typical forelock,
TIL its nearly pulled out by the root.
For they get way ahead of the season,
In manner most willy and arch;
So that while you are reading December
They finish the number for March.
And he who would hope for acceptance
Must strike up betimes with his tune
And sing Harvest Home in mid winter
And jingle his sleigh bells in June
So when my spring poem is finished,
No rest does my weary pen get;
must write a review of a novel
Which isn't itself written yet!

became leader of the choir in the little vi

as singer widened until he was the re-

musical conventions and religious meetings.
His connection with the Young Mems Chris

to my tail I'd nearly kill myself running"
"May l try it!"
''Yes, if you'll stop the can up tight"
The boy went to work at once and the can

like cyclone, Salvation Army, an earth
quake and a freight train, all rolled up into
a grand combination. When the careering
animal had reached a sequestered place in
the woods he paused and soliloquized some
what as follows:
''It's lucky thing for creatures of brilliant
talents like myself that there are so many
fools in the world for if it were otherwise
you would see the most gifted animals
starving every day. Now, for instance, if
that silly boy had just one-half of my shrewd-

railway for few weeks and lecturing for
the benefit of a cyclone sufferer, in whom

On the 5th / started out of ST. Paul in
company with one of those Rise-up-W William-
Riley and come along with me billiards..
We travelled together as far as Bismarck,
D. T. 1t was more or less that way till
got to Wala Walla, where the barber who
shaved me had to keep the flies off my broad
and desolate sweep of brow with a fan.
Here the apples are still on the trees, lawns
are green and the balmy Chinook wind would
melt stonier heart than mine.
Peope all said, 'Nye, you are a fool to
strike out on z, 600 mile trip in the dead of
winter over the mountains, and so far away
from Oshkosh" I did not mind that. l

There was one little cub, about two years
old, whose hand seemed to be raised against
all humanity, including his mother For
days he snorted and rebelled and howled

Still he was kind hearted and generous dur
ing his lucid intervals. He would give his lit
tie brothers, or the other little friends in the
car, any ything he had, after he had tested it
to see that it was all right. He would divide
his last dose of medicine with the other chill
dren or give them anything he happened to
have. He gave them the measles just be-
fore he got off. From Portland up to Seattle
we had the pleasure of riding with two luna
tics, who were in charge of the Walla Walla
sheriff These lunatics were social in their
natures, and one of them called me 'Mr.

Dogs, Sausages and Fight.


The Bucksville Pa) Village Item last week
contained these two items, one following the
other, in the local notes:
The citizens of Marbleton are mourning
the loss of twenty valu .ble dogs, poisoned
by some miscreant.
Butcher Segar, Of Marbleton, announces
that he has JUST made up large batch OF
fne large sausages.
The items were inserted with no intention
of perpetrating joke even by insin uatioa-
Editor Rorke hadn't even noticed the Pc
culiar combination that might be made with
them The first intimation he mad that his
paper hal created a sensation was when
Butcher Segar came up his office steps three
at time, and, bursting into the Office,
knocked Editor Rorke off the stool he was
sitting on, and then swept the waste paper
around like fl lying snowfiakes with his helpless
body. The butcher was torn loose from the
astounded and broken-up editor by the COM
positor and the devil

The compositor and the devil led the irate
butcher down stairs. Editor Rorke repaired
his damages as well as he could. Then he
looked over the columns of his peper, to find
out what he was indebted to for one en-
larged head and a disfgured suit of clothes
He found out. He saw that some of the
boys had interpreted the news from Marble
ton for the butcher who was a DutcEman
who never stood any nonsense. That didn't
stop Editor Rorke from going out and hav
ing Segar arrested all the same, and the
butcher had to pay him $50 for his little pas
time in the editors sanctam.

During the summer have gently worked
my way from Portland, Me-, to Portland,

sene of Pennsylvania, the iron and lumber
of northern Wisconsin, the flour, the lumber
and the census of Minneapolis and St Paul,
the boundless farms Of Dakota, the count

first meetings were for two or three years
held in Chicago and other American cities,
after which, in 1878, they paid their first
visit to England. There their success was
remarkable. Their audiences packed the
largest halls obtainable.
They have since visited nearly all of the
principal cities of the Union, and several
times revisited Europe, and met with sue
cess everywhere. Mr.. Sankey, unfortu-

has devoted his whole time to revival efforts,
and there have been few harder workers

continent, holding very successful meetings
as far west as San Francisco. He has de-

New England. For several years he re-

Texas Somebody says of him that at this
time he looked "the beau ideal of the typical
border rutfian." He was tall, thin and dark
c,mplexioned, with long hair and beard.
He rode like centaur, and always carried
knives and pistols, either of which he was at
any time as really TO use as he was to eat.
The same writer says:
In common with his neighbors, in those
day. when he got up in the morning ne ex-
amined his silver-mounted Derringers be-
fore be stuffed them in his pocket, to see
that they were ready for instant use; then
he strapped on his six-shooter and his silver
mounted bowie knife, and after getting a
whisky cocktail felt that he was moderately
ready for the ordinary business of the day.
The average Texan of those days looked
down upon all northern men as poor white
trash, and David S. Terry mot yet judge
shared all the bitterest prejudices of his
race"

ings which eliminated in bloodshed, assas-
sination. mobs and arson. Violent scenes
We're enacted in California. There was a
slavery party and a free state party, each
desperate, determined to carry its point at
any cost.
Terry, of course was enc of the hottest of
the pro-slavery party. He became one of its
leaders. The late Senator Gwin was an

In consequence Gwin went to the United
States senate and Terry was made judge Of

That is just the present age OF his bride. He
became chief justice. a planter brought a
slave, named Archie, to Sacramento at this
time. Archie claimed his freedom, but
Terry sentenced him back to bondage.
Archie was, however, rescued by free
state man.
1t was during the desperate days of Cali

in San Francisco to free the city from thieves

themselves against this committee Arms

The tendency of our time seems to be to-
ward more harmonious action among
evangelical denominations of Christians. In
ter-denominational warfare has largely
ceased and the leading churches show a
growing disposition toward unity in
Christian work and the amicable liberation
of differences in doctrine. This result is in
a large measure due to the labors of the
