the molder and pass on. Soon the
molder repeated the performance,
with about the same result, and the
lookeVs-on began to wonder what it
all meant. By and by the molder,
evidently mistaking the superb gentle
man s indifference to him for coward

said something which would not look

away. The superb gentleman looked
at the back Of his hand with an ex-

SAFE FOR THE NIGHT.
BY WILLIAM c. RICHARDS.

Nearer tC fod-we've drawn in even-song,
sweet uhild-voiee the shepherd psalm has
said;
And reyerent lips, long used to pray, have led
Childhood and age the paths OF prayer along;
And left Us locked in arms both kind and strong:
Our little maidens, fearless In their bed;
Our youths to sacred rules and manners bred:
And We, Tor whom old memories thickly throng.
What peril, of the darkness and the night
Can fan upon the fold His yigils keep
Who Slumtereth not, i'll shadow. or in light,
But, Sleepless, gives to His beloved Sleep
For them. hoG can the dawn break else than
bright.
Or eyes His finger closes, wake to weep?

sweetly asleep in the Lord at Saint
Michel de Gamaska at the advanced
age OF 81 years, after having giving to
the parish where she departed this life
an example OF all the Christian
virtues" The brief notice aforesaid
concludes as follows "She leaves to
society 519 children and grandchil-
dren, OF whom forty-six are OF the
fourth generation, $50 of the third gen
Grafton, eighty three of the second and
nine OF the first" This information is
given as something not out Of the
usual course Of events, but as a mere
matter OF interest to those who wish
to see the Christian virtues Of the de-
ceased duly chronicled in the obituary
column. But there is a pregnant sig
niticance to the ethnologist and the
thoughtful student of history in these
quiet and unobtrusive notices OF "be.
quests to society" on the part oi
trench-Canadian motherhood. II a
Vermont grandmother, dying at an
advanced age, should leave to the
Green Mountain state a bakers dozen
OF descendants, including even the off

occurrence would occasion some won

here is a French-Canadian grandmerf

PosToFFroEs AND REFORM.

Political affairs in Massachusetts are grow ing interesting. It seems that too many But Ter men have been appointed postmasters in that State. A protest has been made by the anti-Butlerites, and this protest has appar- ently had some effect, for the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says: Some time ago it was announced in this respondenee that the President had been in fuenced by the representations made to him in regard to the way the Massachusetts post offices were being distributed and had prom ised certain of the old line Democrats and the Independents that, if they would put themselves in the way of recommending better men than the Democratic organization in- dorsed, he would select them. This informs- tion came from the White House, and to-day shows the first fruits of the new policy-a policy with which Postma aster General Villas is in accord. It has in mind the recognition of the old anti-Butler wing of the party to degree, for the complaint has been general that the Butler men have in the minor offices been practically allowed a clean sweep.
 Tuesday the President sent to the Senate five nominations for Massachusetts postmas- ters, and two of them were very displeasing to the Organization" The Postmaster General has, it is asserted, practically agreed to reappoint Postmaster Hill, of Leominster, Republican, over MT. Wellington, the Demo- cratic aspirant, who nas the usual indorse- ments. Many of the leading Democrats of the town are for Hill, and they represent that the public will not be benefited by any change. In Rockland the organization has recommended 8 Democrat named Shannahan and Congressman Collins has indorsed him, but a remonstrance was received, signed by a number of leading citizens. against his ap- pointrnsnt, and it is indefinitely held up awaiting further information.
 Thus does reform progress in Massachu- sets. A lively time is expected.

The Trans-NePtun1a Planet.

From the ProVldence Journal
 Neptune is evening star. He is near the end of his course on the eastern side of the sun, and presents no features of special in terest. He is just now an object af unusual importance, for the search for the trans-Nep- tunian planet takes on more tangible form It is we'll known that when Uranus was considered the outermost planet of the sys- tenn, certain disturbances in his movements could only be accounted for on the supposi- tion that another planet must exist far outside of the Uranian borders. Mathematicians went so far as to mark out the spot in the sky where the planet would be found and close beside the spot indicated Neptune appeared, differing only from the faint stars around him by the possession of @ disk. Similar ineongruities have been found in the move ments of Neptune, indicating the existence of still another planet which, on account of it's amazing distance, it will be work of in finite labor to pick up. The difficulties in the way have not deterred enthusiastic laborers in this field from attempting the accomplishment of the task. MT. Todd, of the Lawrence Observatory at Amherst, has awakened a fresh interest in the subject by the publication of memoir of his search for the trans-Nsptunian planet. He has firm faith in its existence, and feels sure that he has fixed upon the portion of the sky where the far distant planet will eventually be found. Prof. Forbes, in independent re- searches on cometary perturbations, reached identical results Five years have since passed and the planet has not been seen, but Mr. Todd is firm in faith, and hopes much from the aid of photography in mapping out the region in question. He calls upon those who have time, enthusiasm and the neces- sary appliances to aid in the search. In der to aid workers in this field of research, he has published 8 record of his observations of the region indicated, that were made with the great telescope of the Naval Obser vatory at Washington. Here is chance for an inspiring amateur to make a discovery that will immortalize his name. For s new planet added to the suns family is event of surpassing interest, by the side os which new comets and asteroids by the hun !reds are of no account.

The Pastor Apolegized. d :.

From the Hartford Times.
 Senator Hoar tells good story about George W. SmalIey, the London correspon- dent of the New York Tribune, when he was a law student at Worcester in the Senator's office. Smalley stalwart young fellow, and paid due attention to the, ladies of the Unitarian church which he attended. The pastor of this church was the Rev. T. W. Higginson, since celebrated as soldier and as an author. There was particularly pret- ty girl in the parish named Susie Gray, whom Smalley used to escort hons from church. One Sunday evening Higginson was uttering the last prayer with one eye open, when he noticed signals passing between Smalley and the young lady. He thereupon brought the service rather suddenly to conclusion, and walking down the main aisle to Miss Gray pew he gave her his and escorted her home. He thought it his duty to look after the conduct of the young ladies of his par ish This was straight cut to Smalley who announced the next morning that he was going to thrash the minister. He pro- ceeded to Higginson's study and announced his determination, whereupon Higginson backed clear down and made a most ample apology.

 A living scorpion is dropped into wide necked glass bottle, which contains a few drops of olive oil of the finest quality. More oil is poured on instantly, until the bottle is filled and the scorpion dead. In it's strug- gles to free itself it ejects all it's poison into the oil, and this poisoned oil forms a sover- eign remedy for the sting of d scorpion. There is no doubt as to its efficacy, and it is probably a remedy which homeopathists ] would approve of on very rational grounds. It is doubtful, however, whether they or any other medical men would approve of the application of the comb" practieed in Lombardy and the Venetian provinces. This remedy is highly unique, and reflects honor upon the originality of the brain which first conceived it. It is applied for chronic dys- pepsia and acute internal inflammation of all kinds; the readers imagination may fill the blank and need hesitate at none of the evils common to man CT woman. The sufferer Is laid upon bed and firmly held by the assist ants-ten of whom have sometimes been re- quireds in the of strong man-the comb is then prepared and applied. It must be very old comb and very dirty one-the dirsier the better-and it is wrapped in tow which has been we'll soaked in oil and alco- hol. So prepared it is placed upon the bare
 
 for moment, and is then covered by bowl CT soup plate, Slightly raised on one side,) under which it is allowed to smolder until the tow is reduced to ashes. Chlofoform and ether being either unknown to, or nor tally dreaded by, the Italian peasants, the agony endured by the wretched beings to whom the 'teomb" is applied may better be imagined than described. It is said that the screams of persons subjected to this tor ture are audible sometimes at distance of two miles, But sound travels on these vast, tranquil plains. The comb is also appii in the Tuscan provinces, but quite different ly, and with different object. Should a nursing mother catch cold in her breast it is rubbed with olive oil, and a new white ivory fne-tooth comb is placed on her bosom. She wears it day and night until relieved, and it is asserted by the peasants that she is always relieved very speedily. It is said that the cemb when so applied is sometimes wrapped with raw silk but of this I not quite Slfra

Consumption
 Conquered!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.
CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,

CHAs. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as 8 last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave relief, and with the first bottle took a new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than 8 gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.

Bernhardt as Ophelia.


 Desire on the part of Mime. Bernhardt to play the masterpieces of the dramatic litera- ture of all countries is pardonable and even praiseworthy Some insight into the characters to be presented is, however, indispensable if the actress is not to be placed by the side of that exuberant painter who. in the course of few months or years, illus trated the chief works of literature, and de. picted with the same jaunty confidence the Divine Passion and the mysteries of the He Sonnante The Ophelia of Mime. Bern hardt is a tender and loving woman with few virginal reticences, who is as much ab- sorbed in her passion as Phedre or Dona Sol After her betrayal by Hamlet-for to this in her rendering the treatment she re- ceives virtually amounts-she goes mad in orthodox style, and she then dies, and is borne, as in the manner of Juliet's country, in her "best robes uncovered on the bier.' Of every opportunity which character such as this offers Mime. Bernhardt makes the most. When, with eyes radiant with hap piness, she bears her brothers inquiries ss to the attention she has received from Hamlet, and when, bending over her needlework, she listens with scarcely disguised incredulity to the counsels of her father, the display of in- ward rapture extorts admiration. Tie char aeter, however, is not Ophelia. The same holds true of the entire performance. The woman who in the great scene with Hamlet is less concerned with his apparent madness than with his falsehood to herself, who falls in front of prie dieu to supplicate heaven less for him than for herself, who when. with cavalier display of affection he throws him self at her feet, and, in presence of the King and court, places his head in her lap, bends over him with yearning affection, and all but kisses his hair and his brow, is less like Ophelia than Juliet Even in the display of madness, where the representation de parts least widely from the accepted render ing, something is felt to be wanting. This scene, however it may be said, is supremely beautiful and touching. The appearance of the actress, with the long spray of wild flow
 CTS woven into her dishevelled hair, and the sound of the plaintive recitatio n in which she gives the long ballad substituted for the fragments of song of the original, exercise strong influence over the imagination; and the very effects of the mental disturbance are conveyed with subtlest skill. When, thus, retiring from the presence of the King and Queen, and making to both low obeisance she encounters in her progress the figure of
