Night is over the great city, and the
stars, with their silent eyes, look
down upon the tomb by the river, as,
in the long ago, they looked down
there upon a Wilderness scene, when
the prows of Hendrick Hudson moved
through the ever flowing waters. And
there the waters will continue to flow
OF and on until another great leader
shall arise prepared for the last great
conflict. And this conflict will not be
one of blood, but intellectual and
moral-one that shall adjust to the
use of the t%oiling millions a righteous
measure for their labor in a land over
flowing with wealth and abundance
more than sufficient for the comfort
and welfare of every deserving one,
even to the very last, the humblest
son and daughter OF toll. But victory
will never ensue until character, and
not gold, has become the general meas
IRE of regard, and the race has at
tanned that high moral plane where
no N can WELD vast possessions and
live under the whitening scorn that
would befall him if he lived for him
self alone.-Howe's Historical Collec-
tions of Ohio"

In a recent number of The Sun l saw
a statement that the greyhound is prob
ably the swiftest quadruped. But there
is an animal CIR the Colorado plains
which is much swifter. 1t is the small
red prairie fox, commonly J. lown as
the swift" = good greyhound will
pull down two or three from a bunch
of antelopes, but the swift escapes
readily from him. In the chase the
fox will stop still and wait until the
hound is near him, and then easily
distance him, and repeat the same ma
neuver. 1t does not jump, like a
hound, but runs with a peculiar Gid
ing motion. Its legs are of medium
length, and muscular.
On one occasion one escaped from a
box trap, by the side of which l was
standing. Near me was a shepherd
dog, who was a good enough runner
to pick up a jack rabbit occasionally.
The dog jumped for the fox as the
latter came out Of the trap, yet at a
distance of $50 feet the fox stopped
still and waited for the dog.
In regard to jack rabbits, they are
not so swift as generally supposed.
Their progress is by tremendous
jumps. | have measured twenty-four
feet in the snow, in a straight line be-
tween successive footprints, and the
animal was going up hill, too. But
in these flights they lose time, and
the hound, wolf and fox, whose feet
strike the ground more constantly,
will readily overtake them.
These facts are from my own expo
%rience, and may be relied upon.-Wal-
ter L. Wilder in New York Sun.

A Million and n Hair.

Two men walked rapidly down Wall
street yesterday afternoon and entered
one of the prominent banking institu.
lions. They were sturdy, heavy set
men. One carried a small black satchel.
Both kept their eyes roaming from
side to side. i followed them into the
bank. The man with the satchel sat
down, dropping the bag carelessly on
the floor. The other went into the re
ceiving ~teller's Enclosure, reached
down into his breast pocket and ex
tracted a package of bills. These were
hastily counted, and the two strangers
left. The teller jammed the bills into
an envelope, sealed it and pitched it
into a safe, afterward closing the door
in a ~perfunctory manner. The entire
transaction occupied less than two
minutes. Then the teller turned to
me and said:
How much do you think was in
that packagel"
why, about $500"
YES, and little more. II contained
n million four hundred and forty
odd thousand"
You don't mean itin
yes, " he said, showing his memo
randa. you see, it's nearly AN in
$40, 900 bills. There is not great dan
ger in carrying notes of that denomi-
nation, because, except here in New
York, they are so seldom used that
suspicion would at once be directed
toward any IN who attempted to ne
gotiate them"
One thing still puzzled me.
What did the messenger have in
his satchel2"
"Nothirg but a half brick. The
satchel is carried rs a blind, to throw
any possible thief off the track. ~

SISTER JEAN WAS MARRIED.

When sister Jean was married
The church was gas and green
With flowers and ferns we carried
To brighter make the scene.
A wedding bell was hanging
Above the altar rail,
And none might hear its changing
Save she who wore the veil.
The loveliest Of flowers,
It's Just yourself" IL said,
And petals fen in showers
When sister Jean vas wed.
When sister Jean was married
The organ slowly played,
As IL the music tArTied
To keep her still n maid.
The women wept, and children
Fair summer roses flung,
And praises OF her beauty
Came fast from every tongue.
mo maid was ever sweeter,
God bless your pretty head"
The neighbors said { o greet her.
When sister Jean was wed.
When sister Jean was married
The gallery was dark.
And in the darkest corner
Sat one she did not mark.
Who, while his heart was breaking,
Moved his wan lips in prayer
That her heart knew no aching
No taste of his despair;
And no prayer was so earnest
As that he softly said
Up in Tho gallery corner
When sister Jean was wed.

Experiments In Tasting.

From some experiments made at the
University of Kansas, it appears that
the average person can taste the bitter
of quinine when one part is dissolved
in 152, 900 parts of water. Salt was de-
tected in water when one part to $40 of
the liquid was used. Sugar could be
tasted in 2SS parts of water, and COM
mon soda in AS. In nearly all cases
women could detect a smaller quantity
than men.-St. Louis Republic.

The exercises of "Children's Day" al
the Baptist church last Sunday drew an
unusually large congregation. Floral
decorations were numerous and arranged
with pleasing effect. The pulpit plat
form presented handsome appearance
with its abundance OF evergreeDs, potted
plants, wreaths. bouquets and pillows of
cut flowers. During the pastorate of
Rev. Mr.. Wilkins, the children of the
Sabbath School have gained a we'll
merited reputation as speakers and sing
ers, on occasions like this. They Ger
tainly sustained that reputation on Sun
day last. A long and varied order of ex.
ercises--excellent in every respect-gave
opportunity TO scholars of different grade
to participate in the services. The
singing by the children was spirited and
melodious-the birds frequently CHM
ing in as IL they had part. The church
choir gave two choruses with telling er-
feet, and Misses B, A. Bottum, Ella G ,lu
sha and Mercy E. Niles. rsch rang an
appropriate solo. The length of the pro-
gramme forbids a more ex end notice,

and society on the success that crowned
the occasion.

THE YOUNGSTOWN HORROR


A mighty volume Of water,
Sweeps suddenly thro ugh the glen,
And mingled with its savage roar,
We hear the cries Of men,
OF women and of children,
As they are hurried past
By the unrelenting current,
To destruction swept so fast.
'0h, help us, or we perish ~
We hear their piteOus cry;
still Daught can do to aid them.
Have mercy Thou Most High.
4 On come the maddened waters,
With tempestuous rush,
Great trees and massive structures,
Like simple toys, they crush,
With angry roar, like thunder loud,
The torrent onward rolls,
While ever above its fearful din,
Comes the cry of drowning souls,
Tossed on its dark rough surface
Are the dying and the dead.
VIII its fury never lessen
Is it by some demon fed
w.
To the bridge, to the bridge, for safety"
Rings out upon the air,
Soon hundreds cling To its dripping sides
with the energy of despair.
Look ! See What vivid flash is that
Is it the lightnings CLEAN
No. It's fire fiend at work,
Among raftcr and roof and beam.
a II earthly hope is gone.
The fire Is gaining upon them last
The waters dash msdly on.
What n terrible, terrible moment
The bravcst gasp for breath,
To leap into the water is to drown,
10 remain there, certain death.
