THREE RIVERS, Que, July 21.-A

a party of which he was member. The
drowning occurred, he states, on the
Mattewan river, which enters the St.
Maurice some fifty or sixty miles above
Piles, post on the st. Maurice twenty
miles OF so from this place. The narra-
tor formed one of a gang OF forty or fifty
who were engaged on the log drive for
one of the lumber firms doing business
here. About three weeks ago the drive
was at one of the rapids on the Matte
wan. and the men had procured some
whisky from the canteen. With this
they got eXhilarated, and in a drunken
freak
DECIDED TO RUN THE RAPIDS.
Accordingly one of the log driving
boats was run out into the stream.
Fourteen men boarded her. The bows
man and steersman were, as is usually
the case, half breeds, and in their sober
senses would have found no difficulty
in running the rapids safely. They
showed the boat off and all went well
until the middle of the rapids was
reached. Then those on the bank saw
the steersman take out his paddle for
an instant. This was fatal, as the cur
rent, which was terrific, swung the
boat round broadside and over she
went, throwing her load into the seeth-
ing waters. Those on shore made all
the attempts possible to rescue their
unfortunate comrades. but to no pur-
pose. The water was high, the rocks
numerous, and the current so swift that
it was physical impossibility to get at
them before the whole boat load was
drowned or dashed to pieces on the
rocks. Efforts were made to recover
their bodies and ten of them were
found. The drowned men hail princi-

how many life stories that a novelist

whom the women were using for pack
mules, and infants too young to do any
thing but lie in their mothers shawls and
sleep. There were stalwart young fell
lows in knee breeches and military look
ing caps, and sturdy maidens, who looked
capable of building a picket fence or floor
ing an Apache La Sullivan. There were
cute little boys and girls just old enough
to toddle by their parents sides
and stare, stare, stare at everything they
saw. This same staring seemed to be
pretty general with the entire party
They were all too much occupied with

spoke as they trudged away to the wait

gazed about them, literally stricken dumb
by fatigue or establishment. How long
can we go on caring for them, wonder?

Art as an Antidote.

Dr. Ricord, the celebrated Partisan ply
stefan whose speciality brought him I'm
contact with the results of all manner OF
social vice, was a professed materialist,
and rather delighted in asserting his
views. The Hon. Charles Gayarre, Of
New Orleans, one of his most intimate
friends, on one occasion was taken by the
valet through the DOCTORS bedroom to his
office. To the visitors establishment the
walls of the chamber were covered with
magnificent paintings, representing none
but sacred subjects; on a sculptured prize

of the gospels, and over it hung an ex.
quisitely carved Christ on gilded cross.

You need not go very far into the phi
losopy of this thing to understand that it
is not the purpose of art in any of it's
forms to show us how dreadful is physical
agony-rather to show us how superior is
heroism to it. 1t is not the writhing mus
cles that the artist is after, but the indom-
liable soul that is under them.
And mark you this: The contemplation
of physical agony is interhcted by good
taste and by civil statute alike, because it
has been found that it depraves the sensi-
bilities. The whole pressure of civilized
instinct is against the exhibition of human
pain. Society throws its mantle over it
everywhere, whether it be necessity of
justice or misfortune of life. 1t is only
when the dauntless heroism of the suf-
ferer defies and triumphs over it that art
takes any interest in it.-Nym Crinkle in

The Young American Man.

"When l despair of the American re-
public" said an eminent statesman, II
look at an American boy, and my hopes
revive" There are no young men in the
world with better manners than the best
type of American men. Manly, simple.
unaffected, respectable and remarkably
graceful, so bright that if they turn
themselves on, you can see to read by
them" The young American man is
conceded to be agreeable the world
over, such as a graduate of one of our best
colleges, cadet from West Point.
Many youth who has worked his way
up from poverty to good position. They
are wonderful fellows. There is some
thing in this air of equality and freedom
and of liberty which makes gentleman.
They behave much better, as a class, than
do the young women of America, for they
are so chivalrous that they have partly
spoiled the young women. They are in
cOmparably better hammered than either
young Englishmen or young Frenchmen
as class. There is, to be sure, an
occasional Miss Nancy, a girlish young
man, who is as abnormal as a mannish
young woman. Both are fortunately rare.

Indians as Military Instructors,

In department orders Gen. Nelson A.
Miles describes the results of the raiding
maneuvers practiced by his troops in
Arizona and New Mexico during the
months of September, October and No
vember. Under the system which he
introduced mounted party was sent out,
and after prescribed time forces were
dispatched in pursuit, while other troops
from garrisons ahead had been notified to
lie in wait along the generally indicated
route in order to capture the raiders. This
plan brought into play the highest quail
ties Of practical soldiership both among
pursuers and pursued, while the COMPETE
tive character OF the exercise gave it the
interest of an athletic contest Exact
rules were prescribed as to what should
constitute capture, ana judges accom-
panied all the parties.
Gen. Miles finds, in reviewing the sue
cessive operations, in which fresh party
was sent out whenever capture was
effected, that they will be of ''incalculable
advantage in the future" The raiding
parties sought, as hostile Indians would
do, to mislead pursuers, while these latter
eXerted themselves 10y every device to cap
ture the supposed hostiles. The result
was to make the troops familiar with a
large section of country and to acquire
skill in trailing Gen. Miles desires his
forces to fully learn the art of war as
practiced by the Misunderstanding

Working for Other Men.

All honest men are working for other
men. Ii man works exclusively for
himself, he is counterfeiter or forger,
or a sneak thief, or perchance high
wayman. All love of industry, all love
of integrity, all love of kindred, all love
of neighbor, all love of country and all
love of humanity is expressed in labor for
others. For this service thus performed
right to a reward is required, and he
for whom the service is performed has
imposed upon him the duty to render
the reward, and the service is rendered
in the hope of the reward. Everywhere
in civilized society men are thus work
ing for others.
Every man, in all the years of his labor,
tolls for his fellow man, and the practice
Is universal among all honest civilized
men, and last from generation to genera
ton; and universal practice is gradually
becoming crystallized into universal habit.
One man is trying to make better houses
for his neighbors, another man is trying
to make better shoes for his neighbors,
another man is trying to make better laws
for his neighbors, and another man is try
ing to make better books for his neigh
bors. Every man is thus forever dwell
ing upon the welfare of his neighbours
and making his best endeavor for their
good; and thus the habit grows from gen
GRAFTON to generation, until at last some
men forget that there is reward for SerV-
ice, and labor for their fellow men be-
cause they love their fellow men.-Maj

Romance of the Future.

The realm of the half supernatural has
been much worked, but it is by no means
exhausted yet Is there nowhere family
merged in our complex civilization which
descends, and knows that it descends,
from the race believed by old common
tators to be mentioned in Genesis,
the half breeds of heaven, the children
of angels and men. and which re-
tains from that descent powers and
capacities and longings, and, above all,
certainties as to another life, and with
them religious obligations unknown to its
fellows all around, always operative, yet
always of necessity concealed? Is there
no one who is undying, yet must obey all
other conditions of humanity; no one,
except St. Leon, for whom wealth is pro-
ducible at will, yet who breads to use his
power; no one possessed of the faculty
Bulwer used to hint at, but never utilized
in his half supernatural stories, of gen.
Grating in another mind any idea he
would? The novelists who have used
mesmerism as a machine have thought of
that power, but have always limited it to
its subjects periods of Inconsistencies
and employed it for some comparatively
trifling end.
Except in the departments of mesmerism
and sleep walking, the romance writer's
have hardly utilized the facts of physiology
now creeping slowly into common knowl-
edge, while they have left the machinery
of science to Jules Verne who uses it
with the intellectual subtlety of peep
show proprietor who has hired an electric
light. Suppose man in sleep learned all
that waking he desired to know. 1t
would be but grand exaggeration of
some well known mental processes in

The hooking echoes drifting idly by;
Then called a voice-the while his glad heart
bounded
'Ah who is thereg' He answered, st Is l."

resounded,
"These palace walls will rue and thee contain"
The shining door stood barred. His feryent
pleading
Was spent in vain.
In solitude, where desert sands are cleaning,
Burned on his changeless love through patient
years;
Once more he comes, and knocks with trembling
fingers;
Once more his soul thrilling music hears
Once more that voice across the silence fingers
"Ah, who is there's" He answers, 1T is thoul"
The door flies back! The sudden splendor, stream
