A Chinaman Suicides.

Quong Sing, the chinaman who kill ed countryman named Charley Sam, at Mammoth, on the 21st of June, 1886, committed suicide in the penitentiary at Yuma, on Saturday morning, June 9th. The deceased celestial had his preliminary examination before Judge John Miller on June 25th, 1886, and was committed to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder. He tried to commit suicide before his trial came of. He was duly indicted and was finally tried and convicted on October 24th, 1887, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the Territorial prison for the term of his natural life During his trial many believed the Chinaman to be somewhat insane but the symptoms were not very pro- nounced.
 The Sentinel gives the following ac- count of the suicide:
 Last Saturday, early in the morning Quong Sing, convict in the Territor- al Prison, committed suicide by hang ing himself. The body of the suicide was found about seven o'clock. Quoug Sing secured a piece of quarter inch cotton rope, tied it around his neck, climbed the grating of the cell door and tied the rope to the highest bar of the door; he then turned around let ting his feet slip from the grating, and ! freed himself from care and imprison- ment

The glorious Fourth of July is rap idly approaching end an occasional outburst of impatient patriotism is manifested by the explosion of fire works in small way. The ardor of young America is difficult of restraint under the trying ordeal just preceding the noisy anniversary and he must necessarily test his stock every now and then until the happy day comes around. In the midst of the ebullition of patriotism incident to the occasion, it is well to take the utmost care to svoidstarting dangerous and expen- jvc fire with the mischievous little "crackcrs."

The StilettG-

The stiletto is a peculiar weapon.
There is nothing of American manuflc-
ture like it. In length it runs from six
TO fifteen inches. The blade is about
twice the length of the handle, dagger
edged, thick at the narrow guard, and
tapering off to excessive thinness at the
point. At the guard the diameter of
the blade is diamond shaped and the
two extra edges run almost to the
point.
The real edges, which are rasor sharp,
make a wouad which tho auxiliary

A Sabbath In the Mountains,

Afar from the sounl of the Sabbath bell,
Afar from the Sabbath throng,
Whose voices today in worship swell
7 With jubilant notes Of song,
Alone on a lofty Alpine height,
Bathed in a 1ood of resplendent light,
With the glittering peaks Of snow in sight
We gather for morning prayer.
Though small my our congregation be,
Scarcely exceeding the two or three"
The Master himself IS there
No poaling organ proclaims our praise,
No preachers voice is heard,
Our chorister's psalm on this pearl Of days
Is that of tho happy bird;
Our music the sound Of the rushing rills,
Pouring down from the snowy hills,
AS each its appointed work fulfils
Leaping down through the flowery dell
And the wonderful works Of our Father
teach
More than the wisest and best could preach,
Or the tongue of the learned tell.
Though they seem in eternal might ar
rayed,
There once was a day, we know,
When the hills foundations first were laid
And first they were crowned with snow;
But when in fire at the last great day
All that IS evil must pass away,
Do we not hope that the mountains gray
May delight our awakening eyes!
Emblem Of all that is lure and bright,
Pointing up to a world of light,
And n glory that never dies.

KAISER WILHELM.
Anecdotes of the Old Warrior.


Many stories about the kaiser are cur
reEt, says the Pail Mall Gazette. The
most characteristic, perhaps, is one rela-
tive to the battle of SadoUa. The king,
followed by Bismarck, was in a very dan
gerous spot. The chancellor prayed his
majesty to withdraw. The king replied:
"When my army advances TO the can
mons mouth it is my duty to be in the
midst of it," Bismarck remained silent,
but when he found his position unbeara-
bic be exclaimed: Gas q major have no
advice to give your majesty On the field
of battle, but as your prime minister
am bound to beg of your majesty not to
expose his life in such a manner" The
king listened to this remonstrance and
reluctantly drew back a little, but Bis
marck, not considering the retreat suffic-
iently rapid, gave kick TO his majesty's
horse, which galoped off. The kaiser
was very i'll in the spring of 1885, and the
doctors prohibited his attending the mil
itary manouvers on horseback. His mai
esty refused to go in a carriage, adding:
Such thing would be most anti mill
tary." To which a general present re-

but he only did SO during the last years
of his life" The kaiser was then 80 and
evidently considered himself young
man. Another military anecdote: The
emperor had just received the visit of
celebrated general who had been placed
on the retired list. ga brave soldier!"
exclaimed his majesty; what pity 1t is
he can no longer mount on horseback"
And then, after few minutes silence, he
added: "Alas! neither can 1, and if were
an ordinary general l should have been
placed on the same list Elong ago."
Everybody knows that the EN- peror was
in the habit Of showing himself to his
subjects from q window of the palace
during the changing of the guard. After
one of his crises he wanted to get up and
go to the window as usual but the doc
tors opposed, on which his majesty ex-

but the remaining eighty nine are all

The Pointed Sermon of an 0ld-Fashioned
COl0red Preacher in Washington.

The Pointed Sermon of an Fashioned
Colored Preacher in Washington
There are still few old-fashioped col
ored Methodist churches in Washington,
says letter TO The Philadelphia Times,
where one can hear the genuine planta-
ton hymns sung in the genuine plantation
way, and it is worth while occasionally to
attend services at one OF them. Last fall
there was a quite extensive revival at the
Asbury Church, and a large number of
converts were admitted on profession of
their faith. The Clergyman who presides
there is an illiterate, but by no means an
ignorant man, and although his methods
are often uncouth and his syntax com pill
Gated, he breaches with great power, and
nuggets of wit as we'll as wisdom are con-
tinually falling from his lips. His oratory
is the genuine force of a strong, but I'M
cultivated mind; he has a strong and deep
voice, an abundant gift of homely Ian
guage; his sermons are always extempor
aneous, are given a local application, and
when he gets started once he lifts the sim
ners off their seats.
1t appears that some of the converts
recently admitted into the church are TAX
ing little too active part in the manage
old wheel-horses of the faith, want TO
reform some practices that do not suit
their fastidious tastes. Among other sug-
gestions made by them is a change in the
pulpit. They want an educated man, one
who will give them more polish and less
personal sermons-for the good minister

not hesitate to condemn sin wherever he

making, and ne gave them warning not

Gently converted, he said, to take back
seats and learn of their elders instead of
trying to teach them. Their attitude
should be that of humility instead of in
subordination. When they had proved
their worth and the genuineness of their
repentance it would be time enough for
them to come forward and take an active
part And he illustrated his lesson with
an illusion to the story of the prodigal
son. This young man, he said, after hav-
ing spent his substance in riotous living,
and wasted his precious time among
swine and sinners, did not come home
with disposition to rule the place, but
he stopped far off and waited till his faith
er called him. When the old man had
been convinced that his repentance was
genuine he invited the wayward youth in
to the house, killed the fatted calf, and
gave him a good dinner. But these prod
lgals had not conducted themselves that
way. They had come rushing into the
house of their father, he said, yelling at
the top of their voices:

Buttermilk for Consumption.

A woman of Kingston, n. Y, who had
been pronounced by her physician fatally
i'll with consumption and who was appar-
emily dying as fast as that slow-pacipg
disease could carry her off, was told by a
neigbbor that she had been assisting a
lady at churning and had much enjoyed
q drink of buttermilk. "Buttermilk!'
fairly screamed the invalid, how wish
that could have drinkr' And from
that time till her friend could GO to the
house where the churning had taken
place and bring the longedfor draught
she raved and cried for it. She drank it
and felt better. Then another churning
was hurried up, and she drank again.
The lady made her churnings more fve
quent and small to please the dying WON
an. In little while the news wes bro1g at
that she was improving. A few days
later she was out of danger. 4 week
elapsed and she was on her feet and
about the house. And now she is again a
busting, busy woman-not strong, but
apparently in good health, with no symp-
toms of a deadly disease lurking around.
There is NO doubt, she says, the butter
milk cured her. As physicians say, sit
went right to the spot. 1t nourished her
poor, famished body, filed up the Tried
