with him, and only the day before I left for the
West I had . conversation with Mr.. Marley
concerning this subject, and he said he knew
nothing In particular about Mr.. Blaine's inten-

the present trip to Europe for the purpose
solely OF avoiding annoyance and escaping in

who shall have II IN charge. shall have passed
away Others will rise to perform the blessed
work which they have dropped"
The Right Rev. Bishop Francis Silas Chatard
spoke after Governor Porter. The hospital, he
said, was to be erected for the benefit of al people
irrespective of religious belief. Its aim was to
alleviate suffering mankind. It was to be i
noble work of charity. The completion OF the
building would be the accomplishment of q hope
the Sisters had long cherished. The noble
women had become famous fot what they had
done In the past. On the field of battle they
had given up their lives for the love Of labor.
There were now no fields OF battle on which
they could work. but there was plenty of human
misery for them to lessen, and that Was their
object in erecting such o magnificent hospital
in indianapolis. Speaking Of the great work Of
the Sisters In general the Bishop said there were
10000 OF them in Paris alone, and about ] 800 or
1000 working IN this country. de hoped the
people of Indianapolis would realize the magni-
tude of the Sisters undertaking., and render them
all the assistance possible. He remembered writ
ing TO Reuben Springer. OF Cincinnati. for some
assistance for charitable purposes, and MIR.
resources in the city in which he lived. The
citizens Of Indianapolis should do likewise. and
contribute literally toward paying for the chari-
table institution. He felt sure that the institu-
did not prosper. Surely such an institution had
the blessing Of God. Il was the duty Of all
mankind to do something for the sake Of char
ity. All would have to stand before the tribu-
nal Of God and answer for what they lad done.
IL should be remembered that God said TO those
who were condemned that they had not given
Him food aud drink, and had not visited Him
while sick. and clothed Him when naked.
Those who were saved had done these
things They could not recall what they had
done for God, and He explained 70
then by saying: "Inasmuch az ron have done IL
unto one OF the least OF these. yon have done it
unto me- lt was Gods principle OF charity
that the Sisters were following. They could do
nothing more for the human race than relieve
the suierineof the poor. The hospital had been

Never think of going anywhere else

Spanish cavalry was stationed At the
presidio of Janos, some twenty
miles distant from the mines, and that
the Indians disclosed the existence OF
the mine to the priest who was in
spiritual charge of the regiment. The
priest went into partnership with the
Colonel, and they employed the sol
diers of the command in working the
mine, which was found exceedingly
rich. After while complaints were
made about this enforced labor at head
quarters in Spain, and the Colonel was
called home to answer the charge.
Before leaving, he and the priest di-
vided the silver and the Colonels share
was sufficient to load eighty mules,
which he took with him across the
country to Vera Cruz, where he took
ship for Spain.
The whole country adjacent to the
Casa Grande and Santa Marie Rivers
is full of objects of interest to the
arch@ologist and naturalist. Prehis-
toric ruins are found everywhere,
many of them clearly traceable to the
Aztecs, but others evidently antedate
any authentic records of history. A
richer field of exploration and investi-
cation cannot be found anywhere in
North America

/ With one long. lingering, plying
look on the helpless form they were
carrying down the aisle, DR.. Howard
came forward, and taking Audrey by
the arm, and motioning to Nita, led the
way to the vestry.
1t was soon explained; but it was not,
after all, quite as he suspected.
Roland would not have been guilty
! in the eye of the law if he had married
Alice, for poor Nita was not his legal
wife, as she thought. He had deceived
her by mock marriage, on finding his
Inheritance depended on union with
his cousin Alice.
He had talked with Nita, explaining
his position. and by large bribes and
promises, had induced her Gas he
thought) to go away and keep silent.
But the poor girl, thinking herself
his lawful wife, had only pretended to
yield.
Cowed and ashamed, Roland Audrey,
once so naughty, now SO disgraced IN
the eyes of all, listened meekly to DIR.
Howard's scathing rebuke.
At the Towers poor Alice lay long in
a merciful stupor. 1t was cruel ex-
perience; but after the first shock was
over, she rose the same CHEEKY loving
daughter and friend, and before long
DR.. Howard's heart thrilled with a
sweet hope. Our friends in sorrow are
always nearest and dearest ever after,
and Alice, as time went on, the more
she saw and came to understand the
grave good man, the more her heart
was insensibly drawn to him. Roland
Audrey, much to everyone's surprise,
had married Nita, and together they
had left their native place.
After a year had passed, the execu-
tors began to take steps towards carry
ing out the squire's will.
Then DR.. Howard took his fate in his
hands, ard placed his heart at the feet
of the young girl he had known and
loved so long.
"You will be poor mans wife, my
Alice" he said, as he read in her sweet
eyes that the love he asked for was his,
''for can never give You the luxury
you leave"
His mouth was stopped by soft lit
tie hand, and she answered back:
Robert, hut would be q palace
shared with YOU"
But strange things happen some
times, and Alice and her mother never
had to leave their dear home.
On looking over the squire's papers,
the lawyer discovered a will bearing a
later date than that which had always
been thought the correct one. In 1t all
former documents were revoked, and
his sister and her daughter left the sole
heirs of the estate, although he still
expressed the desire that his nephew
and niece should marry.
And now, as Alice looks up with
wifely love into the face of her hus-
band, who still makes the lives and
souls of his parishioners as much his
care as when he was poor landless
minister, she sees and recognizes the
Kind Hand which out Of evil makes
good, and out of darkness brings light.

Wha: Swapping is That.

"What swapping is that9" said new
attorney in the Superior Court about
noon hour, while the trial Of case was
in progress.
ssThat is the swapping of watch cases
by attaches Of the court and others
who desire to call the attention of the
Court to the clock. He is hearing a
case, and is apparently utterly obliv-
ious of the time of day. He never
looks around at the clock, but faces
toward the attorneys. That clock is
always about ten minutes fast. | think
the clock is kept fast because it takes
about ten minutes to attract the atten-
ton of the Court, and he is even then
in no hurry about adjourning. Well,
along about 1l:55 the clerk, who is
longing for lunch, takes out his watch
and, glancing at the clock, snaps the
case together. This is repeated for
several times at intervals of five min
utes. The bailiff then pulls out his
Waterbury and snaps the case. If
the Court does not look at the clock
then the shorthand reporter comes to
the rescue. He has got watch case
that when it is closed with 4 snap
sounds like a small pistol shot. His
watch usually attracts the desired at
tention and the court is adjourned.-

A subterranean Chapel.

An interesting discovery has been
made in an old Spanish mine on the
property of the Corralitos Cattle d
Mining Company, on the Casa Grande
River, in Northern Chihuahua, an i'm
mense estate belonging to Ell Paso and
New York parties. The mine is called
the San Pedro, and there is on it an
old incline going into the mountains at
an angle of forty-ive degrees and evi-
IDENTIFY following the richest ore streak
in zigzag manner. At the end OF
this incline a subterranean chamber
was found which had been fashioned
evidently with great labor and trouble
into . regular Catholic chapel. The
chamber is some thirty feet III diameter
and about twenty feet high. Seats
have been cut from the solid rock rum
ming all around the chapel, and 80 have
been an altar and pulpit. The whole
was found neatly whitewashed and
presents . peculiar and weird aspect.
The ancient chapel could be used at q
moments notice as place of worship.
A tradition is found to exist among
the natives living in the neighborhood

COurtship in ZuIu-lanu.

When young Zulu gains his ''gum
ring" (Which Is a ring worn upon the
crown of the head, and is obtained by
performing some deed of valor, or by
special gift of the King, and which
stamps him a man as distinguished
from ''boy''), his first duty is to get
married, and if he has not the necessary
COWS to purchase wife, he must raid
some enemies kraal and steal them.
When he has chosen the lady, he makes
his intentions known to the family,
and they commence operations by
praising him when she is present as he
never was praised beforehand never
will be again-until he wants another
wife. The girl, after some coquetry,
consents to see him, and he washing
and oiling himself dons his lightest,
finest dancing dress, and, sending a
messenger to announce his coming.
presents himself with shield and assagai
to the family, who will be squatting in
a circle near the house Of the lady. he
squats amongst them, and presently
the lady of his dreams appears, attend
ed by two or three female friends about
her own age.
She looks him over for some time
and finally requests him through
her brother Gt not being etiquette
to speak to him Directly, to rise
and turn round and round, display
ing his proportions under run
ming fire of mischievous comments
from the girl friends of the fancee
elect; she, keeping discreet silence,
awards him permission to squat again
and retires- The family rush to hear
her decision, but she is notinclined to be
hasty or seem too easily won. 81 have
not seen him walk; he may limp" she
says, and so the poor fellow has to come
again next morning, when he will
probably be accepted.
The idea that the Zulu or Kaffir girl
has no voice in the matter of choosing
husband is mistaken one, and, al
though powerful moral reasons may be
brought to bear, no conscientious Zulu
would dream of raising his hand to
beat woman or girl into submission;
he may kill his wife for she is his,
he bought her, but he will not ILL
treat her. OF course there are except
ions, but such husband would find a
difficulty in procuring more wives
