Ed. Register-In the "W. G. T. U. Notes.
of your last issue, I found the following:
"The bar-keeper, who is supposed not to be
a fool, says, Let me show you something.'
He placed piece of raw meat (bar-keepers
always keep raw meat ON hand to expert
ment with and also to show the danger of
drinking in bar rooml on the counter and
dropped upon it small measure of imported
ginger Gle. In five minutes the meat had
parted into little pieces as though hacked by
a dull knife" Now, Mr.. Editor, the above
is either lie, or else the w. c. 7. U. don't
confne themselves to ginger ale, which is
strictly a temperance drink, to sell which
requires no State, county or United States
license, and yet We never heard during the
whole campaign one word against ginger ale.
Moral: If you drink. don't drink temper
ance drinks. p.
P. S.-Water rots wood; therefore, don't
drink water!

To the Arcadia Valley, Missouri.

Through thy glades often wander,
Thinkiy gravely of the past,
OF the many scenes still cherished,
And will while memory lasts.
OF the sunny cline of France,
The cloudless sky of Spain,
The old castles or the Rhine,
And ould Er:n's witty brain;
OF England's stately towers,
Aud Scotland's modest flowers;
The battle fields of yOre,
Died red in kindred gore;
The gambols of life's youth,
The ambition of its prime;
The loss of early friends,
And the quick elapse of time.
A scene more fair for pensiye thought,
Sure, poets fancy never sought!
Your hills and dales, meandering streams,
Awake alike his wandering dreams.
No tyrant's hand, on mischief bent,
Has ever thrO Ugh your bosom sent
His quivering arrow dipped in gall,
But left thee scatheless since the fall,
Though hlstory's tale does not unfold,
Brave deeds of knight or warrior bold,
And bards of note have yet to sing
The sweetness of your vernal spring.
The maiden coyness of your youth
Will yet adorn the page of truth,
And pilgrim to thy shrine will tell,
The charms he found and loved so we'll.
His soul refreshed, his health renewed,
Hopes star ascending, gloomy doubt re-
moved;
For life's struggles, doubly armed, prevail
And bless the virtues of Arcadia vale.

| The volumes will average about 64(
pages each, and there will probably be
thirty or more of them-the" manifold'
mum Der will not be inconvenient; when
you consult Cyclopedia you are sup
posed to know what "tltle" you are
looking for; the lettering on the back
of each volume tells you at glance
what titles will be found within, so you
do not look in the wrong one-and the
volumes are SO "handy" you quickly
find the desired page.
| There will be several thousand Illus
trations-no "mere pictures" but ev-
erything of Importance that will serve
| to explain tue text.
| The MANIFOLD CYCLoPEDIA will be
much more than Encyclopedia of Un-
! iversal Knowledge;;" it will embody
also Dictionary of the English Lam
guage-including every word which
| has just claim to place in the lam
| guage. How often you have consulted
Appleton's CT Chambers, nr Johnson's
| Cyclopedia and failed to find the title
you were looking for-then you con-
suited Webster's Unabridged aud were
successful; the word belonged to the
Dictionary rather than to the Cyclic
pedil. Or you have consulted Webster,
and found little more than mere def
milton of the word-you must go to the
Cyclopedia for details of knowledge.
Or, more probable than either of tat
| foregoing suggestions. you do not
own either a first-class Cyclopedia Or
| first-class Dictionary, or only one of the
fxxyn hpaanca r,f fhpip nrnhihifnrv
so you consult your imagination, ''and
Ego hungry" for lack of the few lines
of print that would satisfy you. In e
MANIFOLD CYCLoPEDIA you will find
survey of all knowledge which is IL
| Illustrated by the English Language
and its cost is within your reach!
| Editorial talent second tn none in
| America in experience and skill is en-
gagged in the conduct of the work; the
| publishers past experience in Cyclic
peda-making (notably in The Library
of Universal knowledge, now known
I-trebled i'm price-as The Internation-

A BOY
The Eleven-Year-Old Wonder Who is
Astonishing kentucky.

Great and unflagging interest. says a
dispatch from Williamstown, KY. has
been manifested nightly for the past
week in the eloquent and wonderful
preaching of the boy preacher, Rev.
Pascal Porter, who lives neal Madison,
Ind, and is only eleven years old. Min

ministers grown gray in the service of
their Master hung with rupture upon
the words that fell with burning elo-
quence from his youthful lips.
have such crowds assembled TO hear the
preaching of one person. People of
every creed and denomination and with
out a creed, and men who had not en-
tered "a church for fifteen years attended
nightly ard were thrilled with interest
and filed with wonder. He is a hand
some boy, with a bright brown eye and
a well-shaped head. Out of the pulpit
there is nothing in his manner or
speech to indicate his wonderful gift,
but in the pulpit he isa veritable giant.
He possesses a most wonderful memory
and great gift of language, and his SER
mons were logical, aoctrinal and deep,
and on each night he spoke on an en-
tirely different subject. While all here
proclaim hat his preaching is wonder
full and interesting, the community is
about equally divided as to whether his
m are original or whether he has
committed to memory the ermons of
another; but all admit, whether they
are original or not, hat the boy
preacher is "A wonder and a prodigy.
He is never at a loss for the right
word in the right place, and so thor
oughly does he seem to understand and
appreciate his subject that if he were
not a boy the originality of his dis
courses would never be questioned.
The interest in them is not by any
means confined to the fact that they
are delivered by a boy. If they We're
delivered by a minister of mature years
and with the same degree of %eloquence
all would be no less deeply interested.
He was born near Madison, Ind, No
vember 6, 1876, and is the youngest of a
family OF seven children-three boys
and four girls. AS soon as he was old
enough to talk he manifested a desire
to preach the gospel and make the
world better, but was not permitted to
enter the ministry until he was nine
years of age. His education is limited,
only having advanced as far as the
fourth grade in the public schools.

irving late at night. 1t was certainly II
new sensation to walk from the station
down the wide slippery steps to embark
in n ~funereal looking craft, the covered
centre of which looked for all the world
like a coffin. The gondolas are covered
with black and the central portion is
studded with old-fashioned cofin-nails.

these covered compartments it would
be hard to find. Perhaps upon a pleas

paragraphs appear in the local papers
to the effect that Mrs. Cleveland was
promenanding on Connecticut avenue
on Sunday, or that she was taking an
early morning walk through the West
End, or that she was buying violets in
the markets. The paragraphs generally
concluded with the statement that she
was accompanied by the large dog
''Roy,"~ recently presented to her. IL was
soon learned that Mrs. Cleveland was
at none of the places at which the pa
pers reported her to be. Then il was
learned hat the mysterious stranger
who so closely resembled her was tho
lady who was attracting all the
attention. 1t is not surprising that
the mistakes were made, for the
lady does look strikingly like Mrs.
Cleveland. She is the same height,and
almost Of the same proportions. She
has the same bright face and pleasant
smile, and altogether is quite as good
looking even as Mrs. Cleveland. She is
somewhat heavier, however, and her
hair and eyes are OF n lighter shade.
This lady is always accompanied by a
big dog as she walks about the city, but
he is larger than Roy and "A better lOok-
ing dog. Last Sunday the unknown

much as possible and looking strnight
ahead. The occupants Of the white

Andy Johnson's Grave.

Philadelphia News: Andy Johnson's
grave is at Greenville, Tenn. 1t is on
one of the highest bluffs in the vicinity
of the town, and the tall, eagle-crowned
shaft That marks the spot IA be seen
from the East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia railroad for several miles.
Travellers approaching the town watch
for it with eager eyes. The lot is neatly
enclosed with an iron fence, and the en-
closure contains an addition to the prin-
cipal shaft several smaller monuments.
Several children of the dead president
are buried around him and the lot
throughout bears evidence of the most
sedulous care and attention.
The most imposing feature of the
shaft is the bronze eagle at the top. Its
head is turned toward the Appalachian
range, grandly blue in the distance, and
its wings are spreading as though the
great American bird was preparing to
fly away to the pine-coyered rayines
OF the mountains.
In the foreground is the quaint little
town OF Greenville-a sleepy village
just awakening from a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep of twenty years and a half as much
more. II was in this little town that
Andy johnson lived and followed his
trade, and a faded sign on an old-fash-
Toned house still bears the legion.
