Sir Charles DiIke's Fall.

In a cable dispatch to the New York
Herald, Justin Mccarthy, M. P, says
of Sir Charles Dixie:
ellis fall is like that of tower. He
stood high above every other rising
English statesman, and but for what
has happened he must have been prime
minister after Gladstone. He would
have had hardly even a competitor for
the position. He had made his whole
life one of training for political sue
cess. He had sought experience of the
most varied kind, had travelled all over
the world and knew most European
countries as well as he knew his own.
He had worn the Geneva cross on
many battlefield i'm order to see some
thing of battle and campaign. He was
intimately acquainted with the politics
of public men in Europe, America, Au-
stralia and the East. He knew Russia
as well as Turkey, India and China,
and was to all appearance actually cut
out for the part of a prime minister,
who was also secretary for foreign at
fairs. He is still what we i'm English
politics consider young man, only in
his forty third year, and now, as Eve
Ign says of Charles III. "NOw is all in
the dust" The whole story of English
public life contains no other example
of such a career thus cut short, of SO
splendid rise and so sudden and ter
riblc a fall.n

Flattering Prospects.

A Dakota farmer recently called at
the Office of the local paper.

'Poor, very poor"

"Oh, fust it was dry weather, and

''Purty poor. Flax amt doin' much,

"Well, that is bad am very sorry
to hear it."
The farmer went out and the editor
grasped a pencil and wrote
owe received very pleasant call
from Farmer SnOOzenberry of Way back
township, on Wednesday afternoon,
who dropped in to renew his subscrip-
ton. Mr.. SnOOzenberry brought very
fattering reports of the crops, and was
particularly enthusiastic about the
wheat, which he says is actually boom
ing. He remarked that he would not
be afraid to guarantee every man in
his township at least 80 bushels to the
acre. We would challenge any other
section of the territory to make as good
a showing as this. He was very earnest
in what he said on the subject and
communicated his enthusiasm to every
one. With only about half a crop in
the other wheat growing countries and
European war virtually assured we
certainly have great cause for rejOic-

A Clever Detection of Perjury.

In a large factory, in which were en-
plOyed several hundred persons, one of
the workmen, in welding his hammer,
carelessly allowed it to slip from his
hand. 1t flew half way across the
room, and struck fellow-workman in
the left eye. This man claimed that
his eye was blinded by the blow, al
though careful examination failed to
reveal any injury, there being not a
scratch visible. He brought suit in
the courts for compensation for the loss
of half his eyesight, and refused all Of
fers of a compromise. Under the law,
the owner of the factory was response
BILE for an injury resulting from an ac-
cident of this kind, and although he be-
lieved that the man was shamming, and
thatthe whole case was an attempt at
swindling, he had about made up his
mind that he would be compelled to
pay the claim.
The day of the trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent Oculist examin-
ed the alleged injured member, and
gave it as his opinion that it was AS
good as the right eye. Upon the plain
tiff Is loud protest of his inability to see
with his left eye, the Oculist proved
him a perjurer, and satisfied the court

Washington at Yorktown.

One who was in the army at the
time relates an incident that came I'M
der his notice:
ga considerable cannOnading from
the enemy one shot killed three men,
and mOrtally wounded another. While
the Rev. Mr.. Evans, our chaplain, was
standing near the cOmmander-in in chief,
a shot struck the ground so near as to
cover his hat with sand. Being much
agitated, he took off his hat, and said,
See here, General = 'Mr. Evans re-
piled his excellency, with his usual
compOsure, you'd better carry that
home and show it to your wife and
children"
Indeed it seemed to many that Wash
ington bore charmed life, and it was
often said that he was under the spe-
cial protection of God. He was fear
less, and constantly exposed to danger,
but his constant escapes made him
cool aud self-pOssessed, and the admi
ration of his men. He was excited by
the events which were hurrying the
war to the close: and he watched with
intense earnestness the several assaults
which were made on the works. Once
he had dismounted and was standing
by Generals Knox and Lincoln at the
grand battery. 1t was not safe place,
for though they were behind fortifi-
cation, it was quite possible for shot to
enter the opening through which they
were looking. One of his aids, growing
nervous, begged him to leave, for the
place was very much exposed.
eff you think So" said Washington,
"you are at liberty to step back" Pres
emily ball did strike the cannon, and
rolling off, fell at Wasbington's feet.
General Knox seized him by the arm.
'My dear General" said he, eve
can't spare you yet"
"Its spent ball." replied Washing
ton cOolly. "NO harm is DONE" He
watched the action until the redOubts
which his men had been assaulting
were taken; then he drew a long
breath of relief and turned to Knox.
'EThe work is done," he said emphat-
ically "and well dOne."-[ st. Nicholas

FOOLS NOT ALL DEAD YET.
How a Connecticut Farmer Threw Away
$4,000.

The fact that West Side farmer
was swindled out of $1,000 few days
ago by bunco steerers has been so
carefully guarded by the victims
friends that the details of the affair
huve been very slow in coming to the
surface. 1t appears that two we'll
dressed and bright appearing young
men hired rooms on lower Washington
street recently, claiming that they were
insurance agents and had transient
business in the place. They seemed to
understand the law of contraries very
well, and having a naughty scheme on
hand sought professedly piOus man
for the victim. They found him on
West Main street and pictured to him
in the most alluring and fascinating
manner their little scheme for making
their patrons immensely rich. 1t was
lottery that brought in immense re-
turns. That it might be shown to be
genuine thing they invited their man
to their room and illustrated it by in
ducipg him to invest $5 for a ticket.
He did so, and that ticket drew $50 at
once. These nice young men paid it
without objection. The victim liked
them and liked their scheme. He
wanted to keep swapping So for $50.
He was excited, but they were calm.
They pictured to him the advantage of
taking $4,000 worth of tickets for
$4,000, and guaranteed that the invest
ment should return him $4,000 with
out fail. He could not doubt their
word, for he had cleaned the ''young
uns" out of $50 at snap. He went
to the bank, drew his $4,000, invested
it with the bunco steerers, took his
tickets for $4,000 and departed. He
had no sooner gone than they had an
immediate call out of town. He went
home happy and they left the place in
joyous spirits. They did not forget
him. The next day the bunco steerers
wrote the investor that all the tickets
he held were blanks. He has not felt
well since but few people have sym
pathy for him in his lOss.-[ Norwich

Mrs. GIadstOne's Speech.

Mrs. Gladstone herself made a neat
little speech at political meeting in
London a few weeks ago in support of
a candidature for parliament of Mr..
White. She was hailed with loud
cheers on rising. "My friends" she
said, 81 thank you with all my heart
for this touching reception; but l well
know for whose sake it is given-my
husbands. Let me tell you that his
heart is with you, though his voice
cannot travel this distance. And now,
my friends, think L cannot do better
than give you message from him,
which, if you will allow me, will read.
He bids you, the people of this country,
to bethink yourselves of the position
in which you stand; to look back upon
the history of the past, and forward to
the prospect of the future; to listen to
prudence and courage and honor.
What a privilege for you to help re-
dress the wrongs of Ireland! The bat
tie is begun. You are to help win it..
Rally round our friend Mr.. White.
Think of all his work of mercy and de-
votiOn on other occasions, and as my
husband says, in the beautiful words
of our great poet, 'Ring out the old,
ring in the new Ring out the notes
and the memory of the past discord.

of peace. God grant that it may be

| study my horse, and my horse
studies me. If l am coward, he is
one if | am lazy, he is lazy if [ am
inpatient, he is impetuOus; if | am
lost in thought, how dreamily he pur-
sues his way. But cat is cat the
world over, let the mistress be what
she may. A dog is a dog in season
and out of season, whether he follows
beggar or prince. A sheep is sheep,
and no circumstances can modify his
sheepishness. A COW is a COW, no mat

machine, the same placid lump of awk-
wardness, the same matter Of-fact agri-

imagined | could read in the conduct
of the horse certain measure of the
character of the owner, as you can see
the man in the empty hat which sets
upon the table, you cannot tell why.
When | was boy | used to estimate
the condition of my neighbOrs by the
looks and conduct of their horses.
When | saw a venerable pair, seated
in a rickety wagon drawn by a low
headed, ewe-necked, ring bOned mare,
by jerks along the road, | always pic
tured to myself the establishment from

a comparison at once between this
man and his rival, who, without Osten-

farmer. The minister of my native
tOwn-a large-hearted, kindly, sympa-
thizing pastor, and a sensible preacher
of the gospel of Christ-always drove
an elegant horse, and drove him well
so that in his wheeled chaise at
least, or when mounted erect in the
saddle, the people respected him, and
did not forget their respect when he
had dismOunted. And never shall l
forget the chagrin and dismay and
"dismal doubts" which filled my mind

vice and intemperance is thoroughly
entrenched everywhere. Particularly,
the whisky influence is so interviewer
with our political methods and national
life, that, to uprOot and destroy the
one would seemingly annihilate the
other. The "cause of temperance" is
not arrayed in antagOnism against or
binary flesh and blood, but against
governments, municipalities, statutory
enactments and powers; against drunk
enness. Righteousness and moral rot
tenness in high places; against "pub-
lie sentiment" that demands free trade
in whisky, and "the devil take the

Perhaps Taxpayer" boasts of the
civilization, enlightenment and christ

to send missionaries abroad to heather

and see if he can discover even the
faintest glimmer of the dawn of an
abiding temperance reform. Let the
heather go, and let us begin preaching
the gospel of godliness, temperance,
