in quantity and quality of work then to dentist's office, and after that, to printing office. Beo0m- ing an excellent printer, he sent to a distant land to take charge of a printing -house of tho English Foreign Missionary Society. The enter prise introduced him finally into the wide field of biblical literature, in which he became the leader of that day Yet, his simplicity was just promi- nent when he stood at the head of biblical scholars as when he made list shoes in the poor house. He thought as he wrote in his journal, that the recollection of his early poverty and obscurity necessary to success and this preserved his sim plicity.
 A noble contrast with the dude like conceit of Scalger, who was 90 mortified that he was the son of miniature painter that he claimed in his auto biography, to be "the last surviving descendant of princely house of Verona"
 It is this spirit, reaching out for some "princely house of Verona" rather than accept the facts of humble life which makes dudes, ambitious imta- tors in all pursuits and unnatural would be leaders in society
 Wendall Phillips, the silver tonged orator, was not more distinguished for elegance, than he was for simplicity of diction and manners on the plat form. His earnestness was not more conspicuous than his artlessness There was no apparent fort to be eloquent He never appeared to impress his audience by his oratory. The ease grace and wealth of speech that captivAted his hearers, were made possible by his simplicity. The secret of his great power lay here.
 The same quality distinguished the famous preachers of the past-Grifin, Charming, Stow, Finney, 'Beecher, not to mention others. They were unassuming and natural, and, therefore with out affectation. There studied effort to inn press pease but to convey the truth clearly pun gently and effectively and herein is the highest kind of simplicity. Many preachers of our day sacrifice their pulpit power to tbeir ambition to shine as scholars and orators.
 The wife of a New York millionaire attracted much attention & state occasion at Washington by the simplicity of her dress. The reception was sgnalized by the costliest display of apparel and ceremonies. Diamonds, pearls and other precious gems glittered in bewildering profusion But this woman, whose wealth could command the most elaborate troussedu, appeared in apparel 90 simple and becoming as to challenge universal ad- miraton. It said that two trunks would answer her purpose for a season at Saratoga or Newport, when some showy wife of a merchant with half her wealth, would require twenty eight. Vanity, too, often selects the wardrobe, turning simplicity out of doors, thus becoming cruel we'll as foolish.
 This quality always characterzes true greatness whether in citizenship, scholarship or statesman ship. The pretentious or woman is never great. Such ambition proceeds from a narrow mind. Shakespeare rebuked 1t when he said
 "MAn. proud man.
 Dressed in little brief au thority
 Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven,
 As makes the angels weep" - idukee Blade.

The following Is extract from a real compost tion written by 6 small school-boy in New Jersey. The subject given by the teacher the extensive one of "Man." Here's what small boy wrote: "Man is Q wonderful animal He has eyes, ears, mouth. His ears are mostly for catching cold in and having the earache. The nose is to get snifes with. A mans body is split half way up, and he walks on the split ends. -Lippincotcs Aagdzine

THE A., P. d O. RAILROAD,
A Report Current That 1t Will BE
Built.

A statement, which has had wide cir
culation at Westminster and Garden
Grove, is that Richard Grid will, in
connection with other parties in in
terest, build, or cause to be built, an ex-
tension of his Chino Railroad through
the hills to the ocean, by way of An
aheim, Garden Grove and Westmin-
ster. The statement, which we give
for what it is worth, is said to come from
Mr.. Grid himself, and our neighbors to
the west think there is enough in it to in
dulge the belief that they will find them
selves on the line of railroad from the
beach to Pomona Valley, before they do
on q line from Santa Ana to Long Beach.
It is not announced whether the OBJ
jective point west will be Alamitos or
Long Beach, but it is known that engin-
GERS or agents, believed to be working
under authority of Mr.. Grid, have lately
been inspecting the former place, but
with what conclusions, of course no
one knows. Inquiry here fails to
elicit anything further than this, that
some of our people interested in the
road-bed already built from the mouth
of the Sequel cafion to Anaheim, dis
lance of nine or ten miles, think that
with the revival of business this year and
the connection with it of other and larger
interests, we may before long see some
thing running on this grade besides wild
gourd vines and castor bean plants. 1t
would be big thing for this section OF
Gods country, and we hope it is true

The Pestiferc-s Grass Bird.

There is little BID, common about
the fields and gardens, that Is worst
pest than the sparrow, crow and black,
bird combined. 1t is commonly calico,
the grass bird. 1t is dark brown or,
dun color on the back, with whlte;
breast and belly. 1t eats clover ana
grass seed, and those farmers who sow
these seeds on the ground without cover
ing them will look in Elm for the young
plants. These small birds come In ocks
of sometimes C hundred or hundreds,
and lighting on the elds are unnotlced,
while each one will pick up the SEED
from a square yard of ground. 1t IS
easily calculated how soon a hundred OF
these birds will clear an acre of land OF
seeds; forty-eight visits will do 1t with
out leaving one seed. No wonder there
are poor catches of seed, especially of
timothy, sown in the fall, when these
pests have q whole winter to work IN or
swarm on the ground in the spring. The
only safety from this Joss is to cover the
seed by the harrow and put it safe in
the ground, where it ought to be put by
every good farmer. If these birds are
needed to teach farmers a good lesson,
that grass and clover seed should be
sown in the most careful manner and not
scattered upon the snow or the bare hard
surface of the ground, they will not have
lived in vain.-Ne1o Y,rk Times.

The annual Recital of the Iuka Music
School, Mrs. e. B. Neblett, dilectress,
Friday evening the 10th inst, was de :
cidedly an enjoyable occasion. The re-
fined and highly cultured audience gave
unnistakable evidence of high apprecia-
ton of the pleasing rendition of the pro-
gram by the pupils, evincing skill and
ability, both of teacher and pupil, show
ing what the human voice and hands are
capable OF doing by culture, Some of the
performers compare favorably with any
OF similar grade in point of excellence, of
technique and execution. Piano solo by
petit Julia Houston was notably good in
execution for her age, perfect, distinct
and expressive. Norma Transcription.
Miss Mabel Williams; "Storm at Sea- -
Miss Alice Krause, sReveil dos Fees"

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

For the benefit OF inquirers of what
IS the Alliance, what Is Its object; is it
q political organization and many
other such questions as to its working,
we give below 8 declaration Of princi.
pies of the Farmers Alliance and Labor
ers Union of America
Whereas, The general condition of
our couatry imperatively demands unity
OF action on the part of the .aboring
classes, reformation IN economy, aud
dissemination of principles best calcus

raj and mechanical pursuits, encourage
ing the toiliDg niasses--leading them IN
the road to prosperity and providing
lust and far remuneration for labor, a
Just exchange for our commodities, and
me BEST means of securing to the labor.
ing classes the greatest amount of good.
We hold TO the principle that all mon
opolies are dangerous to the best inter~
ests ct our country, tending to enslsve
a free people and subvert aud finally
overthrow tho great principles pur-
chased 10 the f. hers of American
liberty. We, therefore, adopt the fol-
lowing as our declaration OF principles :.
l. 10 labor for the education of the
agricultural classes IN the science of
economical government IN a strict non

more perfect union of said classes
2. That we demand equal rights TO

D. To constantly strive to secure en-
tire harmony and good will to all map~
kind, and brotherly love among our
selves.
6. To suppress personal, local. sees
tional, and National prejudices, all
unhealthy rivalry, and all selfish am
bition.
q The brightest jewels which it
garners are the tears of widows and
orphans, and its imperative demands
are to visit the homes where lacerated
hearts are bleeding; to assuage the
suffering of q brother or sister; bury
