A RAT CORNER.


Down on the Cape in time now we'll
gone by, Benjamin c. was a prominent
man, wealthy, and foremost in good
many enterprises. Old Mr.. c. was
thrifty, like most Of the Cape people, with
high regard for the almighty dollar. He
had lively, irecked-iaced, athletic grand
son, as agile as a squirrel, who was named
for him-Beniam G. D., since man
OF good deal Of prominence on bis own
account, and who lived wi h him. The
old gentleman's barn, as good many other
old places have done, became terribly In
tested with rats. The cid gentleman was
so greatly annoyed that he offered the boy
fifty cents apiece for all the rats he would
catch and show to him alive, on the prem
ises-a precautlon to prevent sharp practice
on the part Of the youth After Two or
three days little Benjamin came to old Ben.
jamn and asked him to step out into the
barn. He did so, and was conducted to a
large disused molasses barrel that stood in
the middle of the barn floor, and asked to
look into 1t. And there, ON the bottom,
was wrigglng mass Of rats three or four
deep, struggling vainly to get out Of the
barrel.
my gorryr' exclaimed the old Eentle-
man, "where'd you get all these rats9"
Caught 'em here in the barn, gran'sir."
'How many be theyp"
Eighty. That's just $40, gransir"
Forty dollars Why, amt goiu TO
pay you all that money"
"Ain't youp didn't you agree to, gram
sirP"
'Well, yes, but 1 hadn't no idee when
did that you'd catch such tarnation lot. !"
The boy looked up. There was a repa
dangling down from the beam above that
was used to hep in climbing up to the hay
loft. Benny pulled himself up hand over
hand on this rope until he hung suspended
over the barrel.
"Ain't you goin' 20 give me that $40 you
agreed to, gran'sir said the boy.
''NeverF' said the old man, looking oyer
again into the barrel with its squirIning
mass of rats.
"Well then, here goes" said the boy.
With a lively kick of his foot he upset
the barrel in the direction of his grand
father. The multitude of rats poured out
around the old mans feet. He leaped
wildly up and down in terror and sprang
through the mass Ito ladder that stood
near. Then he ran up the ladder with an
agility that he had not equaled for fifty
years. And the rats resumed possession
of the premises.

THE OTHER WORLD
HARRIEr b. STOWE.

HARRIET b. STOWE.
lt lies around us like a cloud
A world we do not see,
Yet the sweet closing Of an eye
May bring us there to be.
Its gentle breezes fan our cheeks;
Amid our worldly cares,
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingles with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat.
Sweet, helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathlngs almost heard
The silence awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break;
Tor mortal words are not for them
10 utter or partake.
SO thin, SO soft, so sweet they glide,
SO near to press they seem.
SO fain to lull us to our rest,
And melt into our dream.
And in the hush of rest they bring.
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye, to close the ear,
Wrapped in trance Of bliss,
And gently dream, in loving arms
To swoon from that to this.
Scarce knowing II we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
sweet souls aronnd us watch us STILL
Press nearer to our side
Into our thoughts, into our prayers
With gentle keepings glide.
Let death between us be as naught--
A dried and vanished stream;
OF JOY be the reality;
Our suffering life. the dream.

Subjected TO Cruel Treatment-An Ex-
pose of Shocking Grimes.
CRY OF MKxIco May 22.-The Pabellon
racional has been exposing the ill-treat-
ment to which agricultural laborers on
haciendas in remote parts of the country
are subjected. 1t says that in some dis
tricts of the State of Chiapas the natives
use their natural dress-that is to say, what
nature gave them, and nothing more. Thus
they are found on the roads, thus they
serve on the haciendas, and thus they show
themselves in the towns. 1t even appears
that they are ignorant of the existence of
hats, since they never cover the head.
These wretched poems hire themselves out
as beasts of burden to whomsoeyer desires
to lease them. The wages are "a per month.
The obligation of the Indian draught ami
NAL Is to fetch and carry on his back the
load committed to him. whatever may the
distance. Still more, they are sub-rented
without the right of receiving any excess of
payment. As the poor Indian is never
able to discharge the debt which he has in
Cured through the amount of $25 usually
advanced to him, he is always a serf II
he dies his children must work out his OBJ
legation. MANY haciendados of Tobasco
are sub-renters of these Indians.
The Pabellon Nacional suggests as q
remedy for this shocking state of affairs
that there be passed severe laws which
must depend for their application on the
federal authorities working in cooperation
with the local authorities. 1t is sanguine
that when the peon beasts of burden find
out that the law is protecting them, they
will place themselves under it and make
known the abuses which they suffer.

A LITTLE BREEZE
Stirred Up In tho Convention Of the North
American Turnerbund.

Stirred Up In the Convention OF the North
American Turnerbund.
CHICAGO, May 23-A stormy time was
precipitated yesterday in the convention of
the North American Turnerbund. by q
resolution offered by Mayor Wallber, of
Milwaukee, asking that the Turnerbund
Seminary in that city be controlled by the
general association instead of the Miiwau-
kee branch of the Turner's. 1t seems that
number of the Turner'S being of an ultra
liberal bent of mind, the free-thinkers had
an idea that the e.seminary was run and con-
trolled by one sect or faction. The Mil
waukee conservatives denied the accusa-
tions, and then asked that the institution
be governed in future by the general organi-
xation.
Herman Boppe, the radical editor Of the
Turner'S newspaper organ, moved that the
matter be referred to the board of direc-
tors whose headquarters are in St. Louis,
with instructions to work out some plan of
action and report at the next convention.
This carried In supporting the motion,
Boppe opened fire ON the leaders of the con-
servative party, who had sought to bring
him TO task on account of his actions dur
ing the Anarchist trials. His Endorsement
by the radicals last night had given him
much boldness, and he easily carried the
convention with him in the matter of the
seminary.

tanned silence. Buthe has now written for
the Forum an article, which will appear in

resume of the experience of South Carolina
when the state government was in control
of the negroes. This is South Cardinals

We hope tina. the following. from the

We hope that the following. from the
Toledo Commercial, is true:
Sherman will go into the Chicago conven-
tion with Gresham his only formidable op-
ponent for the nomination. The second
choice of most Of Gresham's own state,
Indiana, will be for Sherman before Gres-
ham. The sentiment Of Gresham's adopted
state, Illinois, is extremely friendly towards
Sherman. The Sherman boom, far from
being on the wane, is the only movement
which has held its own without loss to the
growth OF the Gresham movement, which
has been astounding and which has 30 far
eDcroached upon some other booms as
practically TO have annihilated them. There
is every probability of decline Of the
Gresham boom, which is now apparently
apparently at its zenith.
We do not believe that Gresham is at al
formidable, IS an opponent of Sherman.
