Comparison.

Hardly had we recovered from the
shocl, our sensibilities received on
reading the officiating. nest-soiIlns
letter Of Congressman George D.
Tillman before we are regaIcd, set
up, encouraged, stimulated, made
proud by the grand, sou!-stirring and
patriotic words Of our venerable eX-

the Georgia orators and statesmen.
In comparison, how miserably humil-

Of Tillman. How degenerate must

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
FATHER RYAN.

Furl that banner. for It's weary;
Round its staff It's dropping dreary;
Furl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not man TO wave 1t,
And there's not sword to save il,
And there's not one lett to lave 1t
In the blood which heroes gave It;
And IFS foes now scorn and brave Ii;
Furl it. hide it-let it rest.
Take that Banner down, It's tatter'd:
Broken is its staff and shattered;
And the valiant hosts are scattered
Over whom it foated high.
Oh. It's hard for us to 1old 1t;
Hard that those who once unrollco II
Now must furl it with 1 sigh.
Furl that Banncr-furl it sadly;
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madiy,
Swore it that foeman'S sword should
never
Hearts like theirs entwined disseTcr,
It'll that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom, or their grave d.
Furl it for the hands that srasncd it,
And the hearts that iondly cla>ped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner-itis is trailing
While around it sounds the wailinS
OF it's people in their woe,
For, though conquered, they adore ii,
Love the cold dead hands that bore 1t :
Weep for those who fell before 1t.
Pardon those who trailed and tore 1t .
But, oh wildly they deplore 1t,
Now who iurl and fold 1t so.
Furl that Banner True, It's CORY.
Yet it's wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are il the dust
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by saSeS,
Shall 90 sounding down the ages
Furl it's folds though now we must.
Furl that Banner. softly, slowly,
Treat it gently, it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever:
For its peoples hopes are dead.

Mr.. Gladstone's Speech on Monday

In his speech on Monday on NOV
inc the second reading Of his home
rule bill Mr.. Gladstone addressed
himself to the double task Of stating
what concessions he could make to
criticisms made upon the measure by
wavering supporters, and Of answer
ing objections made by others who
have declared themselves opposed
to the principle of the bill. TO those
who objected to the exclusion OF
Irish members. from the imperial
Parliament, Mr.. r.-Gladstone was will
inc to concede the insertion in his
bill ola requirement that Irish mem
bers should sit and vote at y est
minister upon any question Of alter
inc the Irish customs and excise
duties. He would also consent to
the creation Of joint commission
from the English and Irish Parlla-
;ments to meet from time TO time to
consider questions Of imperial or
common interest. These concessions
were not relished, it appears, by the
Irish Nationalists, for the reason
that they implied further palpaoIe
Limitation of the sovereignty of the
Irish Legislature, and they failed to
satisfy the radicals because they did
not 90 far enough. The Premler's S
language was objected to as vague,
and Mr.. Chamberlain went, 1t IS
said, to the extravagant length OF
cbaracterizing his speech as "an IN
suit to the House Of Commons and
to the British people" The import
ant fact remains, however, that Mr..
Gladstone stands out for his bill as
a whole, and will not, as urged by
radical supporters Of the Labouchere
school. content himself for the present
with a request that Parliament will
simply affirm the principle Of home
rule, and PCT off the bill itself for six
months. or till Parliament and the
country have been educated up to 1t.
The second reading must be taken
now. if at all. is the Prime Minister'S
decision, and he is perfectly willing
to try conclusions with Lord Har-
tincton, who has moved the rejection
of the home-rule measure. The time
for compromises seems to have
passed by without result. Mr.. Da-
Wits statement last Friday that the
Nationalists would never accept .
statutory Parliament controlled by
the imperial Parliament with Irish
members sitting at Westminster,
made compromise with Mr.. Chamber
lain and his followers we'll nigh I'M
practicable. and Lord Harrington
sought in his reply to the Premier to
increase the difficulty by reminding
him that Mr.. Parnell had never
stopped short Of asking for complete
independence and the restoration OF
Ireland to her place among the ma
tions Of the world.

The Safety Rod in Postal Cars.

\ railway postal car was standing ON
side track at one Of the Washington depots
the other evening. The crew was aboard
working hard in their shirt sleeves, prepar-
ing for the night run" Overhead, lust
within the reach Of the men as they stood at
work IN front Of the rack ran round rod Of
iron, about an inch in diameter This rod
ran lougItudlualiy through the car nearly its
whole length, and as i apparently had no
connection with the work Of the men, a re-
porter asked cne of the busy clerks what it
was. That" he said pausing u moment
"thal's the safety rod. Cars running into
something, men jump for the rod and SWING
there, Not likely TO get hurt When the
whistle gives three toots you'll see all the
men jump"
Nj. {. W. Nickery, the superintendent Of
this division, when asked about the safety
rod, said NEARLY all the railway postal cars
now are provided with safety rods Yes,ihe
rod Is good thing, and greatly reduces the
chances Of INJURY in an accident. \ man
standing on The floor is likely to be struck
by debris. OF course a man clInging to the
rod IS likely TO have his grip loosened by
the shock, and to fail, but BY the time that
occurs and he drops off the danger is over
\ postal clerk on his feet IS in danger Of
being crushed BY the woodwork If a man
swinging in the air loosely was struck. he
would not be so likely to be hurt The
clerks use the rod, and It is the first thing
that comes into their minds when there is a
signal Of danger. One clerk running on the
route here TO Grafton was in car a short
time ago tina, ran over a bank He caught
hold Of the rod and was able while swing
ing there to blow out all the lights around
him. Tie came out uninjured. The postal
car is always placed next to the engine the
place of greatest danger. That place is Civ
en- TO the postal car, so at stations the car
will be clear Of the crowds on the platform,
and the work to be done can be done quick
ly. On the road where sacks are TO be
caught on, if the postal was Tar from the
engine the pouch or sack would be likely TO
be drawn aside by the currents Of air set in
motion by the rapidly moving train. There
are good many stores of miraculous es-
capes Of postal clerks This rod is good
thing, and has undoubtedly prevented ser-
Gus injury in many cases.

Pen Paralysis.

Many stenographers and persons who
make their living by constant use o! the pen
or pencil afflicted with pen paralysis;
and, although, as general thing, this
trouble can be cured bv few months rest,
some Of those writers afflicted with it never
recover. Nobody knows the strain Of in
cessant penmanship upon the muscles and
nerve. Of the hand and wrist better, or per-
haps as well, as those who pass through
daily experience Of that nature.
Telegraph operators are likewise afflicted
with paralysis Of the same muscles. \
Times reporter had conversation recently
with a first. class operator and asked the
question:
II understand that first-class telegraphers
are the only ones who get telegraphers'
paralysis why don't the second and third
rate operators get ?"
because" replied the Morse man, "a
consequently kept constantly working at the
board, while second or third-rate man has
many resting spells, which allow him to
stretch his arms, and thus escape paralysis.
Many men who have been working for the
company for years, and were getting good
wages. have been compelled to give up their
lucrative eHpIohme DE te4eSIdputIs
paralysis You notice it first in the muscles
OF your arm, which becomes numb, after a
hard DAYS work, and within six months af-
ter the first shock the stoutest operator will
succumb. This paralysis, however does not
destroy the use Of your arms and fingers
entirely, but while you are able to lift and
handle objects Of any considerable size, you
will not be able to button your coat or sus-
penders.'
Don't that account for some mistake
made in telegraphing ?"
Yes. indeed. Many mistakes in tels-
graphing, charged at first TO defects in the
machinery, have been traced to paralysis in
the operator, because it soon become evil
dent that the operator has lost his sense Of
touch. You see, the slightest pressure on
the key over what is required will produce
another letter than the one intended by the
operator, and so It soon comes about that
what the unfortunate operator at first at
tributes to overwork finally comes to be an
evident loss Of sensitiveness of touch. This
usually occurs from six to eight years after
an operator has been working steadily as a
st-class man" Hartford Times.

and complete library next to his suite Of
apartments on the second floor Of the Fifth
avenue mansion. He delights in delving
among musty corners of old-hand book
shops, and is said to be very clever hand
at bargain. and to be able to haggle over
the price Of desired volume like any old
worm. He dislikes society," and it is with
much difficulty that be can be induced to go
out at all. He is very fond of music and is
frequently TO be seen at the opera. The
child OF his old age, he has always been one
OF his fathers favorites and was his constant
companion. entering into all his plans and
sharing all his hopes and fears. He has
evinced much literary promise, and il is un-
ders,ood that his father had very ambitious
views for him in this respect. He has al
ways taken the deepest interest in his fathers
plans regarding his Staten Island property
and had really charge of the arrangements
and building of the mausoleum at New Dorp.
He is not a close man and does much good
distributing large amounts in charity, while
he watches carefully the interests of any
poor relatives and sees that they are remem-
bered at Christmas and other seasons. As
may be imagined, George Vanderbilt is also
favorite with his brothers ard sisters.

Christianity and Temperance.

There is Chinese tradition which tells
that, four thousand years ago. the Emperor
of China was much troubled with the
wretchedness and destitution of his people,
many thousand of whom lived amid scenes
of squalor and brutishness. At length he
became anxious to do something to relieve
the bitter cry" of miserable and outcast
China. All at once he recognized that the
bad habits of his people had much to do
with the bad habitations in which they were
existing. The Emperor, by wise act Of
auihoity, with stroke of his pen closed up
every liquor shop in China and the ira
dition records that for three days the
heavens rained gold For three days
the shower of gold continued and the
people, being sober, we're able to gather in
the rich harvest of the bountiful skies.
The Rev. Archdeacon Farrar. in referring
to this tradition, says: considering that
there is hardly pauper in England who
has not wasted on intoxicants enough to
have secured him long ago freehold house
and good annuity, ! say that if the curse
Of drink we're thoroughly expelled. it would
rain gold in England, not for three DAYS,
but for many days."-London Welcome.

Success.

S~arms Of young men and young women
have just graduated from our public schools
and colleges, great majority of whom must
90 to work at once 10 earn a living. Many
of them have already selected vocations
Others have not made decision, and have
no outlook. Most Of these young graduates
are more or less anxious concerning their
future. All of them desire to be of the
happy number who succeed in life
1t is a great thing to succeed A fair sue
cess in business is worth all it commonly
costs OF devotion and industry. And there
IS, a, least, one way BY which success may
ordinarily be attained and that is BY learn
ing how TO do something that people want
done BY doing it well, and striving each
day to do it better.
If you are doctor, YOU should seek to

Sixty years ago. Peter Cooper kept lit
tie grocery store in the Bowery, New York,
within few Yards of the spot where the
Cooper Institute now stands. man came
into his store one day, and sad,-
Il built a glue factory for nv son. He
can't make it go. Ill sell it to you for two
thousand dollars
Upon inquiry, Peter Cooper found that all
the best glue came from Russia, and brought
high price, while the glue made in New
York was very poor stuff, and was sold at a
rate that forbade all chance of profit. He
said to himself
'Why can't glue be made as good in quail
ity here in America as in Russia think
it can be. I'll trv."
He bought the factory. Then he COM
menced studying the processes by which
glue is made. He tried endless experiments
superintended every boiling himself; kept
trying for years, always improving his pro-
duct, until Peter Cooper's glue commanded
the highest price, and literally ruled the
market,
What he did with glue, Gilot did with
pens, Jonas Chickering with the piano, Fair
banks with scales; and, if you succeed fair
ly and handsomely, you must do Just so
with something.-Yomh's Companion.

Little Charities.

A little lame girl neatly dressed, but SO
very disiressingly lame, goes on an avenue
to dispose of her little store of holders which
her sister makes at home. Who of all those
ladies and gentlemen care for such an article
as that? She reaches one out beseechingly
in her thin little hand to many ladies IN
vain. 1t is growing late and she turns in
the direction of home. A tall gentleman
stops beside her and buys one; she pulls an
other from her basket, he takes that. A
third, fourth, ffth--he has bought five hold
ers and made the child happy! And how
easy it was for him.
A single word of kindness goes far when
nothing more can be given. A poor crea-
ture stopped at the front steps where ladies
were sitting, and muttered some request in
low tones. One of the ladies ran down and
inquired as to her needs and expressed re-
grets that she could not render assistance.
The woman turned grateful look into her
face as she went away saying:
"The kindly coming down the steps to
speak to me, and the kind word is more to
me than many dollars, good LADY,"
Any woman can give as much as that.
