Yet, my utteraRee is almost choked at The
thought that there are people here who will
refuse this Divine sympathy; and they viii
try to fight their own battles, and drink their
own vinegar, and carry their own burdens,
and their life, instead of being a triumphal
march from victory to victory5will be a hob,
bling on from defeat to defeat. until they
make final surrender to retributive disaster.
., l wish ! could today gather up in mlne
arms all the woes of men and Gomen-all
their heart-aehes-all their disappoinSmnats
-all their ehagrins-and just take them right
to. feet of the sympathizing Jesus. He
took the vinegar.
ana Sahib, after he had lost his last bat
lie in India, fell back into the iungles of Ihori
-jungles so full Of malaria that no mortal
could live there. He carried with him a rnby
OF great lustre inc of great value. He died
in those jungles; his body was never found,
and the ruby has never yet been recovered
n fear that to-day there are some who
will fall back from this subject into tho sick
ening, killing jungles of their sin, carrying a
gem of intnite value--a priceless soul-to be
lost forever. o, that chat ruby might flash
IN the eternal corination. Butno. There are
some, / fear in this audience who turn away
from this offered mercy and comfort, and
Divine sympathy; notwithstanding That
Christ, for all who would accept His grace,
trudged the long way, and suffered the lacer
atlng thongs, and receiving IN his face the
expectorations OF the filthy mob, and for the
guilty, and the discouraged, and the discom-
forted of the race, took the vinegar. May
God Almighty break the infatuatioEs, and
lead you out into the strong hope, and the
good cheer, and the glorious sunshine Of this
triumphant gospel.

Cloud TeIegraphy.

"A remarkable experiment in signal
ing with electric lights was recently
made by the officers OF two vessels of
the British navy, the Orion and Esuoir
of the port OF Singapore.
The Espoir had sailed from that
port for Kong Long. leaving the
Orion in the harbor OF Singapore.
When the Espoir was sixty miles dis
tant the Orion sent her a message by
means of the electric light.
But can a light be seen sixty miles
at sea2 Certainly not, in its direct
rays; but the Orion threw a haze Of
light upon the clouds, and the reflec-
ton Of this light was distinctly seen
on board the Espoir.
More than this, the Orion, having
thrown upon the clouds a regular
message by means of successful flashes,
this message was read and understood
on board the Espoir.
The question has been asked wheth-
or this means of communication
might not bemade of practical advan.
tage. 1t would depend, it is true, up
on the condition OF the atmosphere,
and upon cloudiess nights there
would be nothing to reflect from, but
it seems entirely practicable to make
the light OF the most important light
houses visible much farther at sea on
cloudy nights by providing them with
an apparatus to throw a series of re-
Elections upon the clouds.-Youth's

the dead elephant, lying Ia the b9t-

ssJudging from appearances, the
body Of the elephant had been carried
to the top Of the bank and Iron there
rolled into the stream. From the

body had not been rolled, but car

''My neighbours were a trite incredu-

where the body lay in the stream,
which proved conclusiyely that by
some means or other the body had

Tne Happy 10, Of the Farmer.

A writer in an eastern publication
describes the lot OF tie ideal farmer in
well chosen words in the following:
'The carer we come to nature the
easier life is, and the easiest life is the
hapDiest one. OF course, we do not
use the word ease in a too liberal
sense. The average farmer works
harder than most men, but he wearies
only his muscle-a blessed strain
whose end is only good, implying a
good appetite and digestion, and
dreamless sleep that is the crown of
human comfort. By 'ease' we mean,
not freedom from work or from care,
tor these things Z an endless heri-
cage to be handed down forever, but
independence. Thefarmeris the most
independent man in the world, there
fore he is the happiest. Entirely in.
dependent of course he is not. No
man car say he can stand quite apart
from Others, but the farmer q say
1t with more truth than any one else.
Nearly everything necessary to sub.
slsterce he has at first hand; he can
even at q shift clothe h5mself-multi
tudes OF people have done so; and IN
times OF crises he can subsist without
money as well as with it, for no one
can descend to primitive barterinQs
as well as he. This IS to come more
nearly to the true independent state
than any other class of men come,
and the place is reached through the
unqualified need which the world has
OF agricultural products.s-Farm and

Thought II was HIs Last.

A small boy pulled on a big cigar,
His eyes bulged out and his cheeks sank in;
he gulped rank fumes with his lips ajar,
While muscles shook his yozshful chin;
His gills were green, but he smole a smile.
He sat far upon the iarmyard stile
And cooked his hat DER his CLASSY eye,
And wunked a wink at a COW near by.
The earth swan round, but the stils stood
still,
The trees rolled up and the kid crawled
down.
He groaned aloud. for he felt so i'll,
And knew that cigar had done him
brown
His head was light and his feet like lead;
His cheeks grew white as a linseed spread,
While he weakly easped q. he gazed afar:
vi live, this here's my last cigar"

date IN 1887 the wheat Of North Das
kcta ana Minnesota had begun to-
head out, but this year the heads
will not appear before July 15 or 10.
It's general condition in that section
IS excellent. and it will ripen well
without much more rain. The only
fear which has been expressed byfarm-
ers is that owing 10 the late start
OF the wheat above ground the ker.
mel may possibly be damaged by
early frosts in some localities. The
reports from Central Minnesota and
Dakota represent the ground as inl
good condition and the wheat head
ing ous on dry, sgndy ground. and at
different localities IN the Big woods.
As to the weeds the same condition
exists as in the northern tier OF coun-
ties. in q few instances the ground
rs reported too dry. especially In
Eastern Dakota, near AIilbank, and
the Dakotahills, extending toward
the James River aud WaterEown.
Recently, however heavy showers
have fallen, relieving the dry sections,
but it is feared that they cannot re-
cover from the effects o. the droubh.
Ia Southern Minnesota and Southern
Dakota wheat is doing well with the
exception OF q few fields in the latter
which have been too dry, but which
are reported all right at this time.

an EIephant Funeral.

All elephants look stupid, and
move around in a clumsy and awk-
ward fashion. consequently we are
more surprised when they stand on
their heads, walk o plank. ring a bell
or do any other OF the many feats
with which the circus has made us
familiar. II is probable thar some Of
our wonder at the saeacity oil. the ele
plant is due to It's great size. But
there is no doubt that the elephant
is naturally cunning. and the follow
ing extraordinary incident, related in
q letter froma planter in Ceylon is
only another proof:
= went alter herd Of 8 elephants
and came up with them about 5 b.
m. After stalking lgot d chance at
the one which seemed about the big
gest Of the herd and dropped it at the
irst shot. 1t turned out to be q bic

afterward Ihad the tail and feet cut
of and taken to the bungalow.
"Next morning 7 went to the spot
TO look at the elephant, and to my
surprise ! found no trace Of the body.

herd had been accommodating the night

Territorial Abuses.

Hon. Hugh ]. Campbell, Of Yank-
ton, in an interview with a correspon.
dent OF the Minneapolis Evening
Jorsnal, speaks OF the situation ia
which the territory is at present in
regard to many OF her Vita interests,
He seems TO favor admission as two
states, but without discussing III this
article the merits or demerits OF that
matter we will give the interview as it
appeared in the Journal. He said:
'"The situation in Dakota seems to
demand some movement like that
proposed by the present HUI
ron convention. The territorial
government is growing more ex-
travagant, regardless OF the wishes Of
the people, every year. Our school
taxes, which are over so per cent. of
the taxes in the territory, are becom.
ing more and more burdensome. This
is a peculiar hardship because z, OOO,-
600 OF acres of school land IN the
territory are lying idle. This land
has been set aside for this object, and
the income from which would be am.
pie to deiray all schoolexpenses. Dis.
examinations OF all kinds are prac-
ticed, viz: In insurance rates, rates
OF interest, railway rates, against i'm.
migration and free settlement OF the
public lands, all Of which result from
our territorial coalition, are weighing
more and more heavily upon the peos
pie. We are also cut of by our want
of political favor from the propor.
tionate share OF the public money for
national improvements which right
fully belongs to the territory. Now,
tor example, Dakota has more miles
OF water ways which are entitled 70
appropriations for theirimproyement
than Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska
combined, and yet, while these states
have something like So, 900, 900 OF
public money annually for improve
ments of this kind, Dakota has some.

lures Dakota but all the neiqhborinp
states and Mississippi Valley cities.
improvements could be made ii
North Dakota which would greatly,
nelp that section as well as Minneso.
ia. 1t has been proved that with a
lair expenditure OF money a perfect
canal system could be introduced into
Norsh as well as South Dakota. Al
canal could be opened from Winnepeg
TO Big Stone Lake by turning the
course OF the Red river a bit. Thence
from Big Stone the Minnesota river
could be made navigable to Minneapo.
lis and st. Paul. This would be the
means OF financially improving the
condition Of North dakota and
would give the big Minnesota cities an
increased business. 1t would mean a
smashing OF extortionate railway
rates. The Missouri river could also
be made navigable it's entire length.
But all this cannot be accomplished
until the territory is admitted. into
the Union as two separate states.
Then We would have enough repre-
sentatives in congress to secure all
this. Without this power we get
nothing. This isone of the vital rea-
sons why this present convention is 4
