fore court martial to be tried for dis

himself continue 10 treat the General with
marked attention, and yesterday the Presi

give Miles command of increased area
and importance
In the House the extreme Republicans
made an effort 10 raise the bloody-shirt
and to retard public business by tacking
on amendments to the sundry civil bill
largely increasing the appropriation for
the National Soldiers Home. BY com
mon consent Mr. Randall led the Demo
cratic forces, defeated the opposition at
every point, and finally by strict party
vote the amendments were all defeated
and the bill passed as it came from the
committee.
The vote is to be taken to-day, 18th
December, on the tariff question. All the
tendencies are towards consideration Of
the tariff bill, and Messrs Randall and Nc
Kinley are working actively, while Mr
Morrison appears to be trusting to the
general favorable conditions. II his mo-
ton fails it will be said by some Of the
most ardent reformers that the defeat
was due to his failure to seize opportuni-
ties. The reformers have made gains In
their vote for consideration, and it looks
favorable TO them, but want of general
ship may lead 10 their defeat.

REMARKS.

The wheat market has ruled dull to-day,
fluctuations being small. The foreign mar
quarter lower, and sold down TO S44 for May,
but reacted, and the close is about medium
figures. The receipts are heavy at the North
west, and the predictions are that the visible
will show large increase. If receipts con-
tinue heavy, we look for decline. There
has been no good buying Of consequence 10
day, and the market TO us looks unsup-
ported.
Corn very quiet fluctuations almost moth
ing, and the close is about last nights fig
ures
Provisions dull and steady very little trad
ing going on.

A Senseless Feud.

MACON, Ga, December IA melee
occurred recently between a party Of
white students from Howard College and
some colOred students from Lincoln
Normal University. The negro boys, it
is said, had knives, and two of the whites
received bad cuts. The citizens have
taken sides over the affair, and strong
race feeling seems likely to be enjendered.

REVIEW.
NEW YORK, December 1.-THE selling as
the opening to-day was almost wholly for
foreign, an unusually large withdrawal of
bullion from the Bank of England for eS-
port to this side probably being the chief
cause for this, coupled with the demoralized
state of the exchange market here, which
shows decline in sight bills of nearly three
cents within week. The process of liqui-
dation, which must always follow SO severe
spasm as that which We recently expers-
enced, seems to be quietly going on but un-
til it is finally completed we cannot expect
any lasting revival of speculation on the bull
side. The tone was decidedly better during
the afternoon tradings, chiefly on the re-
duced rates for money. We expect the new
year may inaugurate fresh bull campaign
but until then we are apt to have constant
and disturbing fluctuations Prices closed
about steady Money loaned as high as J.
and interest, and closed at per cent.

The Old Folks.

BE good to the old people.
Treasure them; be glad that they
are alive. A house without a
grandfather or grandmother has
lost something that made 1t home,
Grandparents may be willing to
go themselves, but, for your own
sakes, pray that you may keep
them long.
While you have a parent, your
youth remains to you. You are
still q little one in his or her heard
"a Young person; perhaps not
always wise; sometimes in need of
advice; but always beloved.
You may feel sure that, when
this sort Of life ceages for you,
youth prssess from your life. 1t
fingers long sometimes, SO that
you laugh at yourself for feeling
"juT like a girl, when the children
are growing up SO fast. Ali it is
because You are still so young to
one heartl When the heart ceases
to beat, you know what is to "be-
gin to get old" yourself; to look
back, instead Of looking forward.
All! a home needs a grandfather
and grandmother by the FIRE and
a baby i'll the cradle to make it Il
perfect home-one the door Of
which we can shut against outer
troubles End the cold blast, of the
world, and say: Thank Godl we
are all here"

Faith.

Faith is not mere sentiment,
not an intellectual impulse or con-
clusion, but a principle which
holds sway over every department t
of mans nature, intellect, heart
and life. Ii is full of energy; il
must, it will work; it lives and
grows and is perfected by work; it
prays much, loves much, and works
much. There can be no divorce
between faith and works; they are
married by an indissoluble tie.
Il men do not work for Christ,
work ardently and abound in work,
then faith is defective. The meth
cd to secure the most and best
work is to cultivate faith; aetiyi-
ties may be stirred; an enthusiasm
awaken; these may produce small
uncertain and unequal harvest of
effort, but faith elon e inspires to
perseyering, self-denying, labori-
Gus work. Faith works by love
and purifes tho soul, - Christian
AdUocdte.

Don't Underyalue the BOY.

Too many men mako their boys
feel that they are Of little or no
account while they ere boys. Lay
a responsibility on a boy, and he
will meet il in manful spirit On
no account ignore their disposit-
ion to investigate. Help them to
understand things. Encourage
them To know what they are about.
We are to apt to treat boys sock
ing after knowledge as mere idle
curiosity. Don't ask questions,
is poor advice to boys. IL you do
not explain puzzling things to
them, you oblige them to make
many experiments before they find
out, and though experimental
knowledge is best, in one sense,
in another it is not, for that which
can be explained clearly, does not
need experimenting with. If the
principle involved is understood,
there is no further trouble and the
boy can go ahead intelligently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow
up before you begin to treat him
as an equal. A proper amount of
confidence, and words of encour-
agement and advice, and giving
him to understand that you trust
him in many ways, helps to make
a man of him long before he is
man in either stature or years.

How TO get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.
If you have a place of business
be found there when wanted.
No man can get rich setting
around stores and saloons.
Never fool in business mat
tefs.
Have order, systom, regularity,
and also promptness,
Do not meddle with business
you know nothing of.
Do not kick every one in your
path.
M-re miles eun be made in a
day by going steadily on than by
stopping.
Pay as you 60.
A man ofhonor respects his word
rs he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford
to, simply because it is fashion
able.
Learn to shy no. No necessity
Of swapping it out dog-fashion,
but say it firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains, rather
than those of others.
Learn to think and act for your
self.
Keep ahead rather than behind
times.
Young man, cut this out and if
there be any fallaey in the argu-
ment, let us know it.

Beats His Pa.

1t was New York capitalist
who flung 81, 900 at one of his sons
a year ago and said. There it is,
and its the last dollar you'll get
from me. You don't know enough
to pound salt. Speculation! Why
you haven't sense enough to buy
and ship eggs" The other day
the old man went down to Florida
to see about 5000 acre tract of
land he had purchased at SO an
acre for an orange-groye. He
went to the headquarters Of THE
Florida Orange grove Real Estate
Agency" and he found that his
son was President, Secretary,
Treasurer, and sole owner. Half
an hour later he discovered that
his 5000 acres raised alligators in
stead of oranges, and that the boy
had cleared about $1,000 in the
single transaction. Wall Street

Each one dwelt in his own district,
and was, in measure, shut out
from the world beyond,
BY tue beginning of the present
century, however, great improve
ments in the roads had taken place,
and By that time the conveyance
of the mails had been transferred
from the post-boy to the stage
coach, The reform was great
one. Instead OF four miles an
hour, the mail-coach, with it's teQm
/ of thoroughbreds, unstrung the
nerves of some people by career
ing at the rate Of ten.
DignIfed by drivers from
amongst the aristocracy, and
guards attired in royal livery of
scarlet, and trmed to tie teeth,
the mail was the object of no or
binary attention as it dashed tire
the towns and hamlots that lay
along its route. After the new
system was introduced, robberies
were Of rare occurrence.
Notwithstanding its great adj
vantage over the old system, the
mail-eoach era was, comparatively
speaking, short-liyed one, In
time the mail was transferred
from the stage-coach to the iron
horse.
Now the letters are carried in
night from the great metropolis
ali over the surrounding country.
We need be under no apprehen-
SION that the mail may be stopped
by highwaymen and robbed. We
are freed from the necessity Of
seeing hundreds Of splendid horses
used up annually in this service,
Tor the strong arms Of the locomo-
tvs is never weary, and we have
only to tell it whore to begin and
where to stop,-P08t.

Publication Of Drinking Water.

The average healthy adult man
takes into his system four and Q
half pounds of water daily, aud
with it too often dangerous guam
tity % foreign matter and disease
producing germs. In very many
homes during the summer months,
wut2r that otherwise would maui
seate the drinker, is made cold by
ice, and then is hastily swallowed,
the GOODNESS masking It's offousiye-
moss. Unfortunately for the
health OF the con sumef, the addit-
ion Of ice does not render the i'm
purities in water innocuous, but
often adds its own contribution
Of disease-germs. The only safe
guard TO the consumer is in Civ
ing his personal attention to thl
filtration OF the water used in Lis
household. Water slowly percu.
lated through crushed vegetable
charcoal will escape from ii not only
cleansel of PARTICLES held in sus.
pension, but also Of organic and
other matter. The cheaDDess of
charcoal is such that it is obtain
able by all classes, end when soilcd
a fresh quantity can be substitut-
ed at tridling cost. The most eff
foctiye filtration is obtained by
placing crushed charcoal in an
earthen vessel, SO arranged as to
compel the slow passage of water
through it, as all efforts at rapid
filtration have proved inefficient.
Only wooden spigots should be
used in drawing off the water A
reservoir for the filtered water
with a separate ico-chamber, will
permit the water to DO sufficiently
chilled and keep all ice impurities
out Such contriyance requires
but very little room, is easily
cleaned, and the coal renewed, and
is efficient in freeing water from
impurities.
