The Noted French Preacher as He Ap-
pears at Present.

The figure which sat at my side
was one not likely to escape ob,er-
vation anywhere. In sombre garb,
his ecclesiastical character was
avowed in the silk waistcoat which
reached to his throat and in the neat
Roman collar which encircled it.
He was tall, slightly STOPPING
haps because he was reading-and
his flesh was little suggestive Of
insufficient physical exercise, not
white and hard, but dark and almost
flabby. He was not fiat, nor were
there aught in his aspect to suggest
that he does not live a life ,f temper.
ance, if not of austerity. His head
was singularly fine. Its dome, per-
feet in outline, except perhaps a
trife too high for its breadth, is
scantily fringed with hair that is now
iron-gray and will be white in another
five years. The face, clean shaven,
is long, almost handsome, thought,
full and melancholy. The dark gray
eyes were meditating behind eye
glasses or perused tiny duodecimo

second-rate Roman authors. The

A CONGRESS- OF sNEEzERs.
The Best Record Made by a Philadelphian
With Hay Fever.

The sneezers of the United States,
who are known as the Hay Fever
Association, have just completed
their annual session atBethlehem, N.
H. This organization, which Henry
Ward Beecher put such life into, still
meets regularly once year, cracks
jokes and tells stories to keep up the
spirits of the hay fever victim men,
bers, talks of ways and means to dry
up tear ducts and provide noise SUBJ
duers for sneezers, and, in a word,
fights an annual battle against the
disease that makes such a market
for pocket handkerchiets.
Col. M. Richards Muckle, of the
Public Ledger, and DR.. Edward
Townsend were among Philadelphia's
delegates to the convention, and
sneezed enough to give Philadelphia
the reputation of being the biggest
city in the country. Colonel Muckle
made big impression in his speech
before the association. There were
tears in every eye and pocket hand
kerchiefs at every nose as he told of
the s., 900 he had spent in 4S years
to get the better of his nose. He
said that cauterization of the nasal
nerves was the only remedy. He had
tried it himself. Time was when in
going from Providence to Bethlehem
he had sneezed I, 200 times accord
ing to tally kept by the conductor.
and used up so many handkerchiefs
that he had to make wash line out
of the bell-rope in the car. On his
last trip he only snoze IS times, and
didn't have to have a special car,
thanks to his cauterizatlon scheme.
The sneezing and crying was re-
doubled when DR.. Edward Town
send, of this city, told the conven-
ton that hay fever was moral
disease; that it never attacked New
York aldermen or convicts, and that
its worst victims were always brainy
people like himself. President Lock-
wood, in an address estimated that
there we're at least 200, 900 sneszers

An Industrious Whittier.

There is a man in Biddeford, Me-,
who has whitfield so industriously
and skilfully for eleven years as to
bring himself into notice. Among
the products Of his jack knife are
violin case made Of 1897 pieces of
wood of 100 different kinds; yoke
of oxen and a cart, put together in a
glass jar with small neck, and
great number of really well made
animals that would sell readily as
toys. But this Maine genius will
not part with any of his creations for
love or money, and as he does moth
ing but whittle he is getting together
a large and interesting collection.

hero of the hour, and the theme
OF all Partisan tongues. His fame is
blown about on the brilliant Boulevards,
the cafes ring with his name, and the
leading Partisan newspapers are full OF
the story of his remarkable career, and
his wonderful inventions. Pasteur, De
Lesseps, and even Eiffel himself, the
builder of the tower. have been rele-
gated to temporary obscurity, and our
American electrician occupies the front
row all to himself. When he arrived at
Havre, he was met by delegation of
admiring friends and interviewers, and
1t is said that cries of "Vive lie Edison"
were heard in the streets. But our Amer
can great magician is modest MAJ, and
says he did not come to Europe to be
llonlzed in society, which as working
man he does not care for. He goes from
here to Florence and Naples with his
young wife, and as for the scientific
lords of Paris, he is reported as saying
that he is not visiting Europe to be
presented to them. But for all that he
is for the hour the "biggest" man in
Paris. ought to have said earlier, that
the great engineer Eifiel who has built
the famous tower, constructed it at his
own expense, the cost of its erection
being over a million of dollars. 1t
stands upon government land, and will
revert to the government after twenty
years, but has already paid for itself in
the amount received for admission to
it. So, in monetary sense it has proved
paying speculation. Parisians are jus
tifably proud of Paris, and the tower is
its passing glory. 1t is reproduced in
every imaginable shape, in gold, silver
bronze. You can't miss seeing it, 20
where you will. As it towers head and
shoulders above every other structure
not only in Paris but In the world, so
in souvenirs in the shop windows it
overshadows everything else besides.
But wonderful, as it is, it will be excell-
ed, for news has already reached Paris,
that the Americans at their great cele-
bratlon to be held at New York in 1892
will build a similar tower 1900 feet high.
1t is talked about here now and l heard
a bright Scotsman at our hotel to-day
say, that "he had been TO america and
they zOould beat this toz0er, noaU you
mark my zOordS mon."

DEATH BY THE GUILLOTINE,
The Awful Suspense of Criminal De-
seriDed by the fatson chaplain.

The recent double execution of
Allorto and Seller at La Roquette
has again given rise to a consider
able amount of discussion as to the
moral effect of the 'guillotine" on
the criminal classes. 1t is quite pos
slble that President Carnot's severity
in according few reprieves has had
deterrent effect .on the cutthroats,
who had learned to expect so much
from the misplaced clemency of M.
Grevy, This would seem to be
borne out by the observations of the
Able Faure, chaplain ollie Roquette
prison, who has just communicated
report on his ministrations to the
government. The able believes
that no other punishment which may
be substituted for execution by the
guillotine will have SO fear-produc-
ing an effect as the terrible instru.
ment of justice at the service of the
public headsman.
In his report the able draws a
realistic picture of the suspense in
which the doomed murderer lives
from day to day, until he hears
either his summons to the scaffold or
the news of a reprieye. Nearly all
the murderers seek consolation more
or less in religion, according to the
degree of education which they have
received, and none of them give up
the hope of a reprieve until the last
moment. The condemned criminals
rarely or never sleep when they
know that their time is approaching,
or if they do it only to doze off into
a horrible dream, from which they
jump up all livid with fear and dread.
Sleeping or waking the "guillotine,"
the lunette, the headsman and his
assistants are for ever present to
their imaginations Out of II per-
sons whom the able attended during
his six years of office only three
were really asleep when their sum-
mons came.
On the whole, the French style of
keeping criminals in suspense for
weeks or months is a severe one;
but neither the prison chaplain, who
considers it his duty always to buoy
up the doomed men with hope, nor
the magistrates and police officials
who deal with the dangerous classes,
are inclined to recommend its altera-
ton in any of its details.

THADDEUS STEVENS KNEW BEST

l was a delegate to the Baltimore
convention which nominated Lin
coin. In the last interview | had
with him, before the assembling OF
the convention, he requested me to
vote for Andrew Johnson instead OF
Hamlin for vice-president. l was
reluctant to do so because | knew
and esteemed Hamlin and had never
met Johnson. The president replied
that he based his preference for
Johnson not on personal grounds,
but on the fact that the nomination
of a southern man like Johnson
would tend to desectionalize the
south, and | told him that | would
do as he requested. In the conven
ton l noticed that the delegates,
whose relations with Lincoln were
close and confidential, voted as
did, for Johnson, and though l asked
no questions, l naturally inferred
that they had had interviews with
the president similar to my own In

Where are the Kong Mountains

1t really appears that the remain
der of our natural lives needs to be
spent in unlearning what we learned
in school. We were "lept in after
school, for not knowing the location
of the Kong Mountains in Africa.
and now Captain Binger, who has
spent two years in exploring that
part of Africa where we failed to put
them, has returned and declares that
there are no such mountains.

THE MORTGAGE.

We worked through the spring and winter,
through summer and through fall,
But the mortgage worked the hardest and
the steadiest OF them all;
Ii worked on nights and Sundays. it worked
each holiday:
1t settled down among u.s. and it never went
away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost as
bad as theft:
1t watched us every minute, and 1t ruled us
right and lett.
and sometimes not;
The dark-browed, scowling mortgage was for
ever on the spot.
The weevil and the cutworm, they went as
well as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty
all the same.
1t nailed up every window, stood guard at
erery door.
And happiness and sunshine made their place
with us no more.
Till, with failing crops and sickness, we got
stalled upon the grade,
And there came a dark day among us when
the interest WASH paid,
And there came a sharp foreclosure, and l
kind % lost my hold.
And grew weary and discouraged, and the
farm was cheaply sold.
And the children left and scattered, when
they hardly yet were grown:
My wife she pined and perished, and found
myself alone.
What she died OF was mystery" and the
doctors never knew;
But i knew she died OF mortgage-just as
wells wanted to.
If to trace hidden sorrow were within the
doctors art,
They'd found mortgage lying on that poor
woman's heart,
WoIm or beetle, drought or tempest, on a
farmers land may fall,
But for tirs;-class ruination, trust a mortgage
'gaiust them all.
