A LEGACY.

Friend of my many years! ~
When the great silence falls, at last on me,
Let me not leave to pain and sadden thee
memory of tears.
But pleasant thoughts alone
OF one who was thy friendships honored guest,
And drank the wine of consolation pressed
From sorrows of thine own.
Ileave with thee sense
OF hands upheld and trials rendered less y
The unselfish joy which is to helpfulness
Its own great recompense;
The knowledge that from thine,
As from the garments of the master, stole
Calmness and strength, the virtue which makes
whole
And heals without sign;
Yes, more, the assurance strong
That love- which fails Of perfect utterance here,
Lives on TO fill the heavily atmosphere
With its immortal song.
John. G. Whittier in the Independent.

An Original After Dinner Speech.

The entertainment was given by an earl,
deservedly popular. 1t was extremely hand
some and champagne flowed in almost ex-
cessive food. The evening was well advanced,
when a benignant old gentleman arose to
propose a toast. He spoke with entire
fluency; but somehow he said exactly the op-
posite of what he meant. 81 feel,n said he,
''that for a plain country squire like myself
to address this learned company, is indeed to
cast pearls before swine" Never was so
successful speech made. He could get no
further for many minutes. The swine ap-
plauded vociferously, and as though they
would never cease. We knew, of course, that
the good old gentleman meant that he was
the swine and that we were the pearls. But
then he had not said So His meaning could
be gathered, but was not expressed

An Ancient Indian Deed.

Public Librarian Balm has now in his pos
session the original deed by which six chiefs
of the Pottawotamies in f7SO conveyed to the
Baby family tract of land on the Detroit
river, near the present city of Detroit,
II ''arpents" long by 12O deep, an ''arpent"
being a French measure of land of an area
of about eeven-twelfths of an acre. The
document is in French. bears the tokens Of
the six chiefs, and is witnessed by one Will
iams as judge of the peace. 1t bears the in
dorsement of Gen. De Peyster, who was in
command of the British force at Detroit.
This curious old document was found among
the records at the Baby homestead on the
Humber, near this city. A frame is being
prepared for it, in which it will be inclosed
and exhibited in the library of the Canadian
Iustitute-Toronto Globe.

Destructiveness of Sherman's Bummers.


AS we advanced into the wild pine regions
of North Carolina the natives seemed won
derfully impressed at seeing every road filled
with marching troops, artillery and wagon
trains. They looked destitute enough as they
stood in blank amazement gazing upon the
"Yanks" marching by. The scene before US
was very striking; the resin pits were on fire,
and great columns Of black smoke rose high
into the air, spreading and mingling together
in gray clouds, and suggesting the roof and
pillars of vast temple. All traces of habita-
ton were left behind, as we marched into
that grand forest with its beautiful carpet Of
pine needles. The straight trunks of the pine
trees shot up to great height, and then
spread out into green roof, which kept us in
perpetual shade. As night came on, we found
that the resinous sap in the cavities cut in
the trees to receive it had also been lighted
by "bummers" in our advance. The effect of
these peculiar watch fires on every side,
several feet above the ground, with flames
licking their way up the tall trunks, was
peculiarly striking and beautiful.
But it was sad to see this wanton destruc-
ton of property, which, like the firing of the
resin pits, was the work of "bummers," who
were marauding through the country COM
mitting every sort of outrage. There was no
restraint except with the column or the regu-
lar foraging parties. We had no communi-
cations. and could have no safeguards. The
country way necessarily left to take care Of
itself, and became "howiing waste" The
"coffee coolers" of the Army of the Potomac
were archangels compared to our "bummers, I"
who often fell to the tender mercies Of
Wheeler's cavalry, and were never heard Of
again, earning fate which was richly de-
served-Capt. Daniel Oakley in The Century.

THE WHITE ELEPHANT.

All White Animals Held in Reverence
by the Siamese-A Kings Grief.
Miss Dows at one time attended the cap
ture and reception in Bangkok of a white
elephant Her people, being devout Bud
dhists, believe in metempsychosis. The soul
of each successive Boodha in its geological
migrations occupies in turn the forms of
white animals OF certain class-particularly
albinos and also the constantly white animals,
as the swan, the stork, the white sparrow,
the dove, the monkey and the elephant, all
peculiar to Siam. In all the obscurity Of
their priests about the subject one thing is
agreed on-that the forms of these noble and
pure animals are reserved for the souls of the
good and great, who find in them redemption
from the baser animal life All white animals
are held in reverence, especially the white
elephant, which is believed to be animated
with the spirit of some king or hero The
white elephant averts calamity and brings
peace and prosperity. Salmon or flesh color
is as near as these albinos get to white, but
still they are white enough to have caused
wars for their possession between Siam and
Burmah. The national standard is a white
elephant on deep crimson ground.
Discovered in the Shan country, or in
Northern Siam, the king is apprised of the
fact; the slave who finds the elephant is made
free and rich; the elephant is decoyed by a
female from the jungle. led into bamboo
stockade, caught by ropes about his legs, and
soon subdued. The march to the royal stable
begins, and ten or twelve miles a day are
Travelled, which is the average elephant speed
He is brought to the Menam, fed with sweet
meats, put under royal pavilion, loaded
with golden chains, and enters Bangkok in
triumph. 1t is time for feasting and q
week of holidays.
magnificent white elephant was captured
in 1868. The nation was wild with JOY The
elephant, whose body might have contained
Gaudamas' soul itself, suddenly died, and the
learned king, who knew English well and
could have discussed st. Paurs writings to
the delight and edifcation of Matthew Ar
nold-the scientific king, who calculated with
accuracy the great total solar eclipse of 1868,
spent 500, 900 on the scientific expedition to
observe it, and even lost his life from expos
ure in the noxious jungle, dying like Soc
rates, calmly and sententiously soliloQuizing
on death and its inevitability; the king who,
under the tutorship of American missionaries,
made the greatest progress of all oriental
monarchs in his ideas of government, COM
merce and even religion; never hesitating to
express his respect for the fundamental prin-
ciples of Christianity, but cutting short his
reverend teacher when pressing home to him
what he regarded as the more pretentious and
apocryphal parts Of the Bible, with the sem
tentious statement that II hate the Bible
mostly"-the king and high priest of Siam
wept at the death Of his new white elephant.

English and American News Gatherers.


The average English reporter trusts far too
much to shorthand. When he gets on large
daily, he is apt to become mere note taking
machine, and he is treated and esteemed as
such. The result is that when there comes
among reporters a man who can write "out
of his own head" no use is made of his capac.
ity. The chief reporter simply uses him as a
machine, and the man, if he be of any STAN
ina, retaliates by getting himself removed
from the reporting staff to some other depart
ment Then when the occasion comes that a
reporter is wanted to wrioe original copy he
is either not there or he lacks the facility that
comes from practice.
The American reporter is different. In
many cases he would be unfit to take his
"turn in the gallery" or at a large public
meeting where the paper sends corps for
five column verbatim report. His shorthand
is sbaky and, like David Copperfeld's, q
puzzle to himself. But he can go to a meet
ing and write half narrative and half crit
ical report, containing not only the main
facts, but score Of little gossipy items and
comments that people like to read. He can
be told to Ego down to the depot and make a
column about the new boss"-a command at
which the average English reporter would
stare helplessly. Finally, he can be requested
to go and get some news, and he will &c and
get it. His English confrere never heard
such a command. and has no knowledge that
anything ever happens save such anticipated
events as ara daily entered in advance in the
chief reporters engagement book.-Satur.
day Review.

A thllANTHROPIC JOKE.
A Chicago Man Makes Fruit Woman
Happy by Little Deception.

"How easy it is to make some people happy
by deceiving them a ittleI' was the philo-
sophie remark of Mr. Jacques Haskins, as he
turned from his desk to relate bit Of his re-
cent experience. "There is an Italian woman
"a good, clean, hard working woman-who
comes up here every day with fruit to sell.
One day was walking on Adams street, I
think it was, and l saw her walking in front
of me with her basket on her arm. Two men
were standing in a store door, and heard
one of them say: Don't you remember that
woman? She used to have a fruit stand in
front of my store in Memphis in war times.
Her name is Cunio.'
"That afternoon when she came into my
Office looked a little sharply at her and said:
Haven't seen you somewhere before-some-
where besides here in Chicagop 4 don't
know said she obviously; your face seems
sort of natural to me- Let me see,' said I,
assuming meditative posture; didn't you
used to have a fruit stand in Memphisp Her
eyes frightened as she said she did. Right
in front of Lowenstein's storep l said. This
was venture, for 1 had merely taken it for
granted that the gentleman who had spoken
of her was Mr.. Lowenstein, because that was
the name on the sign of the store where he
was standing, and he looked sort Of like the
proprietor. But it hit the mark. Yes said
the woman, setting down her basket and
looking as tickled as could be, that was me-
That was about-let me see-abcat twenty
three or four years ago. I said. She moved
her lips as if she were making calculation,
and then, all smiles, said: Yes, was there
them Your name is Cunio, is it notp I
added. This was the last feather. That I
should remember so much about her and even
be able to call her by name gave her the
greatest joy. Tears even came into her eyes,
and we shook hands heartily.
"Then proceeded to make her remember
me. Don't you remember 1 said, 4 used to
go to lunch at that little restaurant just down
beyond Lowenstein's, and used to buy fruit
of you, and stand and talk to you almost
every dayP She looked at me a long time
and finally imagination did its work, as it al
ways will, and she remembered me perfectly.
You never saw anybody more pleased. I'll
had been long lost brother she could not
have been happier at meeting me. She told
me all about her family, every member of
which I, Of course, remembered more or less
distinctly, and all about her life since then,
which would make an interesting story to
write. Then she made up big bag Of fruit
which let her give to me, because it seemed
to please her so much to do so. Since that /
have, however, been pretty regular Gus
toner Of hers, and mean to be as long as
she keeps coming. What if it is true that I
never was in Memphis in my lifel She has
told me SO much about it that could 60 all
over the city in the dark now, and am sure
have given that poor hard working woman
as much pleasure as if had brought to her
in fact an old friend. Chicago News.

THE WINDS WAY.

The wind of God swept through garden fair,
And stript the queenly rose of half its leaves
The rose of roses and the gardeners care
The wind of God made bare,
And all the garden grieves.
0wind why didst thou pass the pale wild rose,
Tha; swings and suns against the outer wall,
To take the fairest of the fowery close,
The sweetest bud that blows,
The rose beloved Of all?
Alas! the winds way is a wild way,
And whence. or why, or whittier, who can knowi
Unseen, it wanders forth both night and day,
And who shall bid it stay
That God has hidden blow?
James Buchanan in The Overland Monthly.
