ting ont of the narrow confines of his cell,
he is punctual in attendance at chapel on
each Sunday. He apparently listens with
rapt attention to the very eloquent sermons
with which we are RECALLED, which is so
much Greek to him. and comes away a sad
der. but not wiser man. Such are the
only means of reformation placed within
his reach, none of them being available by
reason of his inability to comprehend them.
If he is regularly employed he will acquire
habits OF industry, obedience, purctuality,
etc., but none of these are so conducive to
his reformation as is education. which
enables him to discern the difference be-
tween right and wrong. Think of the evil
effects which protracted spell of idlenesS
and close confinement must have upon such
a class of persons. For want of better
employment, they are compelled to spend
the greater portion of their time in meditat-
ing over their misfortunes. and the prob
abilities are, they may become hypOchOn-
driacs. imbeciles. or idiots. The present
administration Of the prison has given
ample proof Of its prOgressiveness. and we
are now enjoying many advantages denied
our unfortunate class imprisoned elsewhere,
and for which l believe all are duly crate
full; but the granting of this boon. will. in
the estimation of all who have at heart the
good of their unfortunate associates. not
only be good investment for the state,
and productive of much good to those for
whom it is intended. but will eventually re-
suit in benefit to society at large.

The lesson of the good Samaritan was
APPLY illustrated this morning within sight
of the Sun office. A gentleman was busily
engaged working on top of a telegraph
pole: the wind was high and blew off his
hat. that went dancing across the street.
When the hat struck the ground. it fell
at the feet of monied man, who had just
stepped out of a bank. This stiff backed
monstrosty passed Oh and paid no atten-
ton to the hat. Fortunately man with a
heart was an eye witness. and walked al
most half block to secure the mans hat
which he returned to the owner. One of
these men believes in humanity; the other
has soul so dlminutive that it could be en-
comprised in the space occupied by mus
tard seed and still have as much room to
expand as an embryo tadpOle would in the
centre Of lake Superior. Sun.

ATLANTIS.


Lines written after read ng Donnelly's Atlanti
Lost land that lies in hidden grave,
Beneath Atlantic's rolling wave.
What wild confusion and dismay
Were thine upon that dreadful day,
When the great wave came sweeping down
On fertile plain and stately town.
And what a wild earth-shaking cry
OF terror, rage, and agony,
Up from your trembling millions scared,
While lightning flashed and thunder roared;
And over their doomed heads did sweep
The fountains OF the might deep.
Among the tribes o. man Your name,
In early days, held mighty fame,
Your armies were all-conquer hosts,
Your fleets were seen on distant coasts.
And on your seaport wharfs were laid
The treasures of wOr DIS trade.
But that same God whose fiery rain
Destroyed The cities of the plain
With anger saw your peoples crime
Increase and multiply with time.
Their lust. their pride their greed of gain,
The thousands in their wars were slain.
From His eternal throne was hurled
The doom that lost thee to the world.
The lightning cleaned, the thunder pealed.
The earth back on its orbit reeled.
The waters rose with mighty roar,
AND Atlantis was &c more.
Sudden and awful was your doom,
But yours is no gnoble tomb.
Earth mighty nations round it lie.
Their fleets upon its bosom ply,
And over thy amending sleep
Its moaning waves sing requiem Deep

A Forgotten Hero.

The United States Senate is now
considering a bill to appropriate
$25 900 for the purpose o~ferecting a
monument of General George Rogers
Clarke, one of the heroes of the pio-
neer days ofthe Northwest Territory.
Michigan was once a part OF the
Northwest Territory, which was Gre
ated by the ordinance of 1887, and
consequently it's peoFae have a re-
mote interest in the5naasure.
General Clarke ptlsa Virginian by
birth. He had u6tf Ach general ed
ucation, but becsHDIRractical sur
veyor. He went aentucky when
he was twenty-fou- years of age. He
attended the convention of Virginia
as the delegate from Kentucky and
while urging upon the Government
of that state the creation of the new
county of Kentucky and the shipping
there of several hundred pounds of
powder for it's defence, he uttered the
words which had become famous: ga
country not worth defending is not
worth claiming" Clarke got the
powder, repealed the Indians from
Kentucky and then elaborated a
campaign for the conquest ofIllinois.
A few hundred men were given him
by Governor Patrick Henry of Vir-
GINA. With these men hecrossed the
Alleghanies, captured Kasakia and
took all the other British posts on
the Ohio river. This was in 177S.
Without any serious loss and with
one blow he planted the American
colors on the banks of the Mississippi.
The English Governor Hamilton
was then located at Detroit. The
success of General Clarke alarmed
him, and in December, 1898, Cover
nor Hamilton retook Vincennes on
the Wabash. Clarke, when he heard
of the Governors victory, said: 81
must take Hamilton or he will take
me-" With $50 ragged but brave
heroes he appeared before Vincennes
in February, 1779, andcaptured the
Governor and his garrison. He was
only twenty-six years of age at this
time.
John Randolph once referred to
General Clarke as the young Hanni-
bal of the west. Cow he is well-nigh
forgotten. For his courageous eff
forts he surely deserves some endur-
ing memorial.

A Lucky Wan.

Harrodsburg Ky) Sayings and Dolngs. August %.
Mr.. Frank Lawrence Dant held one
twentieth of ticket No. 1884 which drew
the first capital prize of $500, 900 in The
Louisiana State Lottery on the It'll inst.
The $15, 900 was collected through the
Citizens National Bank of Louisville.
Mr.. Dant is rather prepossesssing in per-
sonal appearance, nearly six feet high
and weighs $50 pounds. He is an intel
ligent and affable gentleman. only TWEEN
ty-two years old and unmarried. He
was educated at st. Mary's College, and
learned bookkeeping at the Southern
Business College, Louisville. For three
years he kept books for his father, Mr.
j. w. Dant, proprietor of a large distil-
lery of an old brand of pure Kentucky
whisky at Dant's station, fourteen miles
from Lebanon, Marion county, Ky.
One year ago he accepted the position
of time-keeper for the Knoxville divi-
sion of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road, and clerk of assistant master of
trains at a salary of $50 per month, and
is stationed Mt the railroad, one mile
from Stanford, Ky. His good fortune
has not turned his head, for he intends
to hold his place, hoping by close appli-
cation to business he will be promoted.
For two years he persisted in purchas-
ing tickets in The Louisiana State Lot
terry. Four months since he organized
a club, of which he was chief, and con-
tinued to buy tickets. Last month he
drew $25, and on the 7th came the big
prize. He has paid out what was due
the club, and will invest his portion in
some safe speculation, and continue to
work and court tickle fortune as hereto
fore.

He Was lawfully Nice.

In the morning aparty of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people,
about 100 in all, hired a train, went
up to Windsor and thence up the
Thames in steam launches. They
were a merry crowd. When the train
reached Windsor the party strolled
through the parks surrounding the
castle, laughing and singing, much
to the amazement of the simple vii
layers and awe stricken attendants.
Half a dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at
the foot of the castle wall when they
suddenly came upon a tall, military
looking young man in riding costume,
carrying a big bunch ofprimroses and
wild flowers.
"Oh, what pretty fowers!" cried
one of the misses. Where do you
get them, sir?" she asked, looking in
quiringly at the young man, her face
betraying not the slightest sign of
embarrassment.
81 picked them over there" and
the one addressed, pointing to an in
closure with his riding whip. "But
you couldn't reach them because
that's private property. Suppose
you take these. lean etsomem more"
He handed over the entire bunch,
lifted his hat politely and walked
back for more flowers" but they
di.D't know he was Prince Henry of
Battenberg, the queens son-in-law,
who, as a matter of duty, religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty
every day.-London Cor. New York

farmers but of villagers who rejoice
in the presence of the festive hen in
gardening time, should import eggs.
But it is a fact that it does. The
fiscal year which has just ended saw
nearly Il, OOO 900 dozen eggs i'm
ported into the United States, and
between s. ,00O,O 900 and So, OOO 900
sent out of the country to buy eggs
alone. Since 1880 there has not
been a year in which there has not
been over 81 GOO, 900 sent abroad to
buy eggs for the market of this coun-
try, and in the last decade the sum
so sent out of the country was about
$40, 1000, 900. But the Importation
of eggs is notthe only curious feature
of the craze for going abroad for
what might be had at home. There
is the article ofpotatoes, for instance.
Although there is no end to the pos
sibilities and practicabilities of pro-
duction in this country the importa-
lions of potatoes in the last year
have amounted to about 81, 900, 900
in value. There is barley, which it
seems as though the farming COM
munity might supply. There was
over So, 000, 900 worth of itimported
in the fiscal year just ended. There
is cotton goods. The East and South
are alive with cotton factories, yet
the mportations in the year were
nearly $50, 00O, 000.-Milwau' ee Sen-
