Loriiard on Labor.

The danger to the people by the
accumulation of the enormous for
tunes of the present day, and the
fact of their being owned by persons
who have no respect, love or COM
mon feeling for the people, seems to
me a great and important problem
In Europe princes. kings and per-
sons of great wealth use their means
in thousand ways for the gratitiea-
ton, happiness and refinement OF
the people around them, whereas in
this country they act selfshly, and
they are, or appear to be, entirely
Indifferent tn The suffering at their
doors As TO your hint Of an i'm
pending rising among the people,
personally have nothing TO fear.
Almost ali my means are in my
factories, and | will always be in the
front rank of those who love the
people, and shall do all in my power
to check them in any madness that
bad or ambitious leaders may ad-
vocate.
| hold that labor's remedy is in
the ballot. 1t now has a power
stronger than armies or navies. By
means of it the working classes can
so WELD the machinery OF legislation

bition. | will never willingly enter
into political life unless some upris-
ing or connected action on the part
of labor makes it nv duty to try to
guide this rising tide. For any up
rising, even if successful, would be
Of no benefit TO the people unless it
was directed by capable leaders
Destroy all the wealth and capital of
the country and YOU would spread
financial ruin, deprive labor of en-
ployment, and in six months starva-
ton would stare 100000 peoplein
the face When time brought its
remedy, we would be the subjects of
a modern Bonaparte or CGsar.
If | should ever be tempted to
take a part in public affairs, it
should be simply as a friend of the
people. | want 10 office and should
accept nothing; but l should like
to see labor organized IN such a
manner as ! could easily suggest,

principle of benevolent associations.
and so thoroughly knit together that

He Pulled the President Out OF Bed.

While his father was President
young John Van Buren visited Eng
land, and, as son of the President o
the United States. received great at
tention. He dined with the Queen
who was then a Young girl, where
his superior grace of manners, fine
conversational powers and With
cisms made him to appear to better
advantage than the titled 1unkeys
who were around her Majesty. He
attended one of the balls at Bucking-
ham Palace and danced with her,
and the story was told that her Ma
jesty became very sweet on him. 1t
was this incident that gave him the
cognomen of Prince John" There
was another story in circulation
about him which illustrates his want
of special reverence for his father.
The old gentleman and john had a
habit of lying in bed late in the
morning. Finally one day the for
mer said to his son that a reform
must be instituted-that both must
rise earlier. The hopeful agreed, and
suggested that the first one who got
up should go to the room of the
other and pull him out of bed. This
was agreed to. John was out all the
following night on ''bum" and aid
not reach home till the next morn
ing about 3 O'Clock. He went to
his fathers room for the purpose of
pulling him out of bed. The old
gentleman protested against being
disturbed, saying that he had not
had sufficient sleep. Look here,
governor, it was your own PROPOSE
ton that we should institute a re-
form in regard to lying in bed so
late. Here | am at your request
and you won't fulfill your part OF
the agreement. Remember, the one
who got up first was to pull the 9TH
er out of bed. So now get up or
I'll pull you out" Tell it not in
Gath This young scamp made the
President OF the United States get
up in spite OF himself After seeing
the old gentleman dress himself, the
young scamp sneaked to his own
room and was soon in bed asleep.
The story got out by John telling it
on his father to a lot OF boon compan
ions. John afterward became a IA
nous lawyer and politician. He was
one of the most eloqent speakers |
ever heard.

How New Zealanders Tame the Horse

As everybody knows, Mr.. Rarey's s
system of tanning vicious horses con-
sisted mainly in throwing them
down on the ground and keeping
them there by means of straps The
New Zealanders have a much sim
pier and more effectual method.
They simply decoy a wild horse
into swamp until all his legs are
securely embedded in it. They
then proceed TO gentle " him. Well
may the author say Rarey's plan
is nothing to this There were no
legs swinging about to hurt any one;
the colt could not batter his head
on the ground {; the very babies
could jump on his back with perfect
safety, and they were not slow to
avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty. The women sat op him. the
men got astride him, and then put
a little log under his tail " The
women shook their dresses in his
face. Best of all, when the horse
was dug out, he was quite tame.
The New 'Zealander Maori woman,
however beats this performance with
her pig. The Maori woman who
has taken to suckle a young pig as a
substitute for her lest baby discov-
ers that the animal is so eleanly in
its habits that it can be kept in a
drawing room, so tractable that it
will walk about a flower garden
without stepping on border, and
SO clever that it can be taught to
beat its mistress at a game of cards. I"
If this story of "a young pig" is
true, we can easily believe every
thing else in the book and the story
of young pig must be true, for the
author tells US in the preface that he
has learned very slowly, very re-
luctantly, but very surely, TO bow
only to the unanswerable logic of
facts.

Deliver Us from Gamblers.

WASHINGTON, March -. - The
Chaplain of the House made pray
er to-day which attracted general
attention. He said:
We beseech Thee, Almighty God
help the people of this country to
learn that money gained otherwise
than as Thou commanded by the
sweat of the face, as the fair and
honest wage of honorable, manly
work of brain or hand. is gained by
theft, no matter how we name the
stealing; the money is never con-
verted into wealth unless il ceases
to be the pander of our lusts and
lifts us above the level of the an
max lifting Us to the graces of life,
elevating our hearts to manly aspi-
rations making us kindly with our
kind, patientto to Gods laws and rev.
erent to ourselves. Rio the land,
we beseech Thee, OF all gamesters,
whether they gamble with dice or
cards, or clips, or with wheat or
stocks, or corn or cotton. Deliver
US from the influence and power OF
robbers. who. enticing their victims
to boards OF trade and stock ex-
changes and bucket shops, name
their practices of plunder ''sbearing
the lambs" " Eniighten our intelli-
gence with Thy truth ; sweeten and
deepen our humanity with Thy
love; quicken our piety with Thy
spirit, and may Jesus Christ become
more and more the master and ruler
of our lives and characters and
thoughts. We pray through His
hallowed name. Amen.
The delivery of this prayer was
attentively listened to and caused
quite sensation among the men,
bers. On motion of Mr.. Butter
worth, of Ohio, seconded by Mr..
Weaver, of Iowa, it was ordered
printed in the Congressional Record.

and an inquisitiye reporter constituted
himself "a committee of inquiry about
the matter. He found that each box
contained a fine quality of snuff, subse-
uuently ascertalned TO be imported from
Copenhagen, and costing 81 per pound.
These snuff boxes are relics Of antique
ty, and have been in the Senate Cham
Der as far as the memory of the Oldest
employe can recall. Modern progress
has relegated snuff-taking to a few
senior Senators, and they are not very
Numerous, either. In fact. only about
five Of the Senators a be called invet-
crate snuff. takers, and Senator Wilson,
the successor of Ex-Governor Groome,
of Maryland, is probably the most con-
s~picuous frequenter Of the snuf-box
locality. Before he came to the Senate
this honor was held by Mr.. johnson, of
Virginia, who was succeeded by Sena-
tor Riddleberger. Senator Edmunds
does not disdain to use a pinch now and
then of the seductive stuff, but often he
goes for days at a time without raising
the lid of the box. Senator Van Wyck,
of Nebraska, Is another lover, of snuff,
and he never lets a day pass without
indulging in his weed, and carries his
own box Of Maccaboy in case of emer-
gencies. Energetic, busy, busting
Senator Beck of Kentucky, finds that =
pinch of snuff has a soothing effect
upon his nerves, and after some pitched
battle with a brother Senator he seeks
solaee in the snuf-bOx neal the presi-
ding officer.

The Geographical Expedition 10 New
GlCslca Sac.

A dispatch from Cooktown, Queens
land. says the Geographical Expedition
which was reported to have been massa.
cred in New Guinea has arrived here.
All the members are well.
THE expedition referred to above was
commanded by Captain Henry Charles
EyeTlll, and was sent TO New Orleans
by the Geographical Society of Austral-
asia, which was founded in May, 1888.
The staff of the expedition included a
naturalist, a surgeon, two ~sub-leaders,
one on land and the other on sea, a
photographer, three natural history col
%lectors, a surveyor, an engineer, and a
general utility'' volunteer. The in
structionS to the commander included
directions not only for surveying work,
but for observations on the natives, OF
zoology, botany, and geology, with
directions for the collection and preSer-
walton of specimens. The expedition
was to enter the Arid river, which is
probably only an east arm of ele Fly
river. y telegram in the London Times
of September % announced the arrival
of the Bonito tthe vessel in which the
expedition sailed from Sydney in the

possible into the interior. The Fly river
was partly explored in 1875 by a party
in the Ellangowan, while in 1876 the
Italian explorer Dr. Albertin navigated
the river to neal its source. He was
twice attacked by the natives, who
showed themselves very intractable, and
any expedition up the river would have
to be conducted with the greatest tact
and caution. According to our present
knowledge, the central course of the
river lies west of the 141st meridian,
and therefore in Dutch territory.
While much of the country through
which it flows is swampy, the banks IN
many parts are covered with thick
forests. With a suitable steam launch
it is navigable TO near its source, and
would no doubt form an important
route for opening up the interior of the
island. The results OF the expedition
will be awaited with interest, as New
Guinea is now one of the east-known
sections of the habitable globe.l

"There Is a general eclipse" added
COMFY, gaily, following the others
towards the hall. "Do not look sad,
Captain Nugent, the stars will appear
with renewed splendor at dinner"
The first in the drawing-rOom was
Ninette. A dress of pale green, soften
ed with white lace, set off her bright
hair to advantage. A bunch of natu-
raj leaves was fastened amid her cuTls-
the girl had a passion for natures or
naments. Captain Nugent, who was
the next to enter, thought he had never
seer her look so lovely.
"'Ninettei"
She looked up quickly, with a Grim
son blush.
why are you so shy with me2"
"Shy with you'll l am not a bit" she
answered with a brave little smile.
"Then / am with you, | suppose, for
l want to tell you something very
much and I can scarcely find the cour-
age.n
0"What is lt2" she asked, softly.
81 love you, Ninette!'
She gave him a startled, Joyous look;
then her eyes fell. and the red roses
took full possession of neck and brow.
evil you say nothing for or against
me?" he asked, making prisoners OF
her hands.
II have nothing to say against you, u
she murmured, after a few moments
of patient waiting.
"You love me toe Is it so, NinetteF
Tell me, sweet"
"Yes."
1t was so softly spoken that he hard
ly heard it bis arms were quickly around
her, and the rosy face was hidden
against his shoulder.
"Ninette, are you happyP Speak to
me-"
"Very," and a little low laugh fol-
lowed the whisper.
She lifted her face then, and he took
1t in his hands; but Ninette sprang
from his embrace and darted through
the open window.
Archer turned to see the cause of her
sudden fight, and behsld Sir March
standing at the drawing-room door.
81 will ask for a few words with you
in the morning, Sir March, said Archer
flushing under his hosts serio-comic
gaze,
"All right, my lad" he returned,
kindly. 81 have never been so blind
or so obstinate as my lady,"
However, "my LADY, cannot have
proved very obdurate, for one Of the
latest announcements IN the Court Cir
cular IS that of a marriage between
