Davy Crockett in Congress,

Davy Crockett was the rougliest
diamond that ever sparkled in the
House of Representatives. Reared
in the cabin of his father, revolu+
tionary soldier, WHO was pioneer
settler in Tennessee, he became noted
as a marksman, bear hunter and an
Indian fighter. In due time he was
sent TO the legislature. and in 1927 he
came to Congress. Wearing q home+
spun suit, with waistcoat made from
the skin of a panther which he had
shot, he attracted some attention, and
the most absurd stories we're told Of
his prowess. He told some good
stories, but the greater part of his re-
marks were coarse and vulgar. 1t so
happened, however, that he became
arraycd against General jackson on
an Indian bill, and when the Pres
ident sent friend to him to tell him
that he must support the bill II he de-
sired reelection he replied, 't be-
lieve the measure is unjust and TickG-
ed, and / shall fight it, let the cotise+,
quences be what they may. 1 am
willing to go with General Jackson in
everything 1 believe right and honest,
but beyond this wont go for any
man in creation. / would sooner be
honest and politically blanked than
hypocritically immortalized. The
Wings took him up, and he visited
Philadelphia, New York and Boston,
receiving marked attention and many
presents in each city. When he re-
turned to Tennessee and wentinto the
canvass hefodnd that President Jack
son was too mitch for ffini; aid he was
beaten by about 300 votes. He went
to Texas, where he fought gallant!y,
and was killed when the Alamo was
taken and it's garrison was slaugh-
tered. His son, JohnW., served as q
Wing in Congress from 1887 to 1S41..
He then removed to New Orleans,
where he edited a paper for while,
and then returned to toTennessee, where
he died in 1852. Several, lives of
Crockett we're published, written by
others. OF the many sayings cred
tied to him the most popular one
was, " Be sure you're right; then go
ahead. ."-BOstOn Budget.

The City of Shanghai.

The conservatism of the Chinese
character and the EXTREMIST point OF
provinciaIism are instanced in the
story told of the residents within the
walls of their native city of Shanghai.
The city has three gates, the north.
south, aud west ones, and many OF
the people living at the south gate
have never been as far rs the north
gate and could not understand the
dialect of the inhabitants ii they did
go there. One nation could not differ
moro from another, than the Chinese
from the Japanese If they lived twenty
thousand miles apart instead Of only
two hundred miles, and one is all
wrong if he thinks that having seen
Japanese cities he can know what q
Chinese one will be like. Willie the
Japanese are the cleanest people on
the face of the earth, and far ahead
of the English for eterHally bathing
and scrubbing themselves, the Chi
nese are the very dirtiest. The trim,
exquisite little toy house of the Jap
anese along wide streets are the great
est contrast to the filthy abodes of the
Chinese with their dirt hoorsi mud
and bamboo-woven walls and streets
often less than five feet wide from
wall to wall. Overhead is q forest of
gilt letters, gorgeously colored signs
and banners that fairly hide the sky
The narrow streets, with shop fronts
all open above a low counter, seem
like passages in some fantastic e&hi--
bition hall with booths or spaces"
close together. Mere crevices in the
walls correspond to alleys, and look
ing up them or down the tunnel of n
street before one, it is easy to realize
what Is meant by sssxatms OF peo-
pie" or masses OF human beings.
Ali through old Shanghai the people
are packedl as if at mass-meetipg;
and one has to. dodge into shops or
fstten himself against wall at the
constant cries of the coolies carrying
loads by poles or yokes on their shorl-
ders. Buckets of water and gar
bage, bundles of dried fish, bodies of
dressed hogs, coftins of the deadi and
sedan-chaifs of the living crowded us
into the wall and rubbed against us
during Il progress through the hand4
soonest and most important fonr-feet-
wide street of the city. 9'

the criminal judgeship It can be used in sew

inclined to wear the collar of the little boss as

fact the saloon-keepers appreciate, and they are
giving the most of their help to the Demo

AT OTHER CHURCHES.

Services at the Seventh-Street NJ. f. Church
Yesterday Conducted by Rev. Wydman.
The services at the Seventh street III. E.
Church yesterday morning we're of special inter-
est Rev. W. H. Wydman, the pastor, read for
the lesson the sixteenth Psalm. His discourse
was based upon the latter part of the forty
third verse OF the first chapter of st. John:
"Folow me- the verse reading: "The day fol-
lowing Jesus would go forth into Galilee and
fndeth Phillip, and saith unto him, follow me. 7"
This was considered as command from Jesus
to follow him, and, if the Christian would but
look round about him, he would see a zeal and
earnestness In all the professions. callings and
vocations of life from which he might take o
lesson in his religious life Man follows the
various leaders OF men-military, civil and
political-and into the schemes of these lead
ers puts his influence time and
money. Why should not the same be done in
following Jesus? Men are often surrounded with
troubles and difficulties against which no human
foresight can avail; but it is not with Jesus.
His leadership cannot fail He leads to conquer
and to final victory. His reward to those who
follow Him is certain. The pastor was earnest
in his discourse, and received from the conere-
cation the closest attention from the beginning
to the end of his sermon
