Some years ago well.known Preshyte-
risn parson was spending his summer va.
ration with his family In tho Adlronlacks.
One sunday he accepted an invitation TO
preach. In the congregation was man
who apparently was very deaf, for he
came 20 the service armed and equipped
with sn Immense brass ear trumpet, aud
as soon a. the sermon began went forward
and took his seat well up on the pulpit
stairs The clergymen's little daughter
was among tho auditors. She had never
seen an ear trumpet, and the spectacle OF
the form on the pulpit stairs steadily hold
ing that instrument against his head filed
her with awe and wonder. On her way
home from church the first the first thing
she said To her father when thev were
alone was: "Papa was that an archsngei
by you"

sists in wrestling with his brothers, Of
whom Vladimir and Alexis can well
match him in h~erculean strength; his
food is of the plainest, his amusements
are insipid to a degree. At the favorito
resort Of the imperial couple in the pal
ace at Gatschina the car surrounds him
self with a dozen or so of his favorite no
blemen, and they pass the evening in
playing cards at reasonable stakes and
smoking cigarettes, entirely unrestrained
by the presence of the empress and grand
duchesses, some of whom frequently
smoke also. All floors being made in
the Russian fashion of inlaid oak, the
car and his partners often forget to
avail themselves of ash holders, and throw

GATHERING OF THE SLAVES.
The Negroes of Colonial Louisiana-Ths
Wild Troops Of Field Hands

Wild Troops Of Field Hands
The negro Of colonial Louisiana was L
most grotesque figure. He was nearly
naked. Often his neck and arms,
thighs, shanks and splay feet were
shrunken, tough. sinewy like n monkeys.
Sometimes it was scant diet and cruel
labor that had made them 80. Even
the requirement of law was only that
he should ave no less than n barrel of
con-nothing elsa month, nor get
more thar thirty lashes to the twenty
four hours. The whole world was crueler
those times thar now; we must not
Judge them by our own.
Often the slaves attire was only a COT
ton shirt, OF a pair Of pantaloons hang
ing in indecent tatters to his naked
waist. The bond woman was well clad
who had on as much as a coarse chemiso
and p%etticoat. To add a tignon-a
Madras handkerchief twisted into a
turban-was high gentility and the num-
Der of kerchiefs beyond that one was the
measure of absolute wealth. Some were
rich in tignons; especially those who
served within the house, and pleased
the mistress, or even the master-there
were Hagars in those days. However,
Congo Plains did not gather the house
servants 30 much IA the field hands.
These came in troops. See them;
wilder than gypsies; wilder than the
Moors and Arabs whose strong blood and
features one sees at a glance in so many
Of them: gangs-as they were called
gangs and gangs Of them, from this and
that and yonder direction; tall, well knit
Senegnlese from Cape Verde, black as
ebony, with intelligent, kindly eyes and
long, straight, shapely moses; Mandin-
goes, from the Gambia river, lighter OF
color, OF cruder form and n cunning
that shows in the countenance; whose
e%nslavement seems specially a shame;
their nation "the merchants Of Africa"
dwelling in towns, Industrious, thrifty,
skilled in m and ~husbandry and
expert in the working of metals, even to
silver and gold; and Foulahs, playfully
miscalled Poulards-fat chickens-of
goodly stature, and with a p%erceptible
rose tint in the cheeks; and Sosos, fam
Gus warriors, dexterous with the African
large; and in contrast to these, with
small ears, thick eyebrows, bright eyes,
HAT, u%pturned noses, shining skin, wide
mouths and white teeth, the negroes of
Guinea, true and unmixed, from the
Gold Coast, the Slave Coast and the Cape
Of Palms-not from the Grain Coast; the
English had that trade.

Capt. Glazier, known as the maker OF
some books about soldier-boy heroes and
the like, went up into Minnesota not long
ago, and, returning, reported that he had
discovered the true source of the Mis-
sissippi. Capt. Glazier, ordinarily so
modest, waived all considerations OF
modesty in this case and named the
source Lake -Glazier." Now comes
Henry Gannett, who writes from Wash
ington to Nature, showing that "his so
called Glazier lake is identical with n
lake in township 148 north, range 30
west, which had been carefully mapped
by traverse survey by the general land
office in 1876, or five years prior to the
discovery This lake, or pond, has an
area of about half a square mile. On

and its connection with Lake Itasca is
