dity. The Republic had replaced the
Monarchy, and the head CT Louis XVI
had fallen under the guillotine. Tss
mobiles had emigrated in great numbers,
leaving France to place themselves III
the head of the enemies who were
marching against their country.
Francois had grown to be a man by
this time and had become a soldier.
Having been sent to the Rhine, he soon
soon won sergeant's stripes, and rapid.
( ly advanced to the rank of lieutenant,
and finally to that of captain, which
was nothing unusual at that time when
the victorious French armies were COM
manded by beardless colonies and youth
full generals.
One day Captain Francois, at the
head of detachment of troops, made q
accommodating expedition. Having en-
countered an Austrian convoy, he gave
orders 70 attack it, and soon the French
had routed the White Jackets, who left
their leader wounded on the ground.
Francois was astonished when, on APP
preaching him, he recognized in the
leader of the Austrians the Marquis de
Sicard. The Marquis, like many others
swept away in the emigration, found
himself in arms against the soldiers OF
France.
Francois, exercising his privilege,
paroled the Marquis, and then, instead
Of sending him into camp, left him at .
neighboring farm house, where every
attention was given him. When the
Marquis recovered Francois, through
his influence with the head of the army,
obtained pardon for his benefactor.
The latter at once returned to Toulouse
where his property. which had been
confiscated, was about to be sold, and,
as special favor, it was restored to
him.
Reinstated in his chateau, the Mar
quis recalled his daughter from Turin,
where he had left her. Profiting by
leave of absence, Francois went to pass
three months at Croix- Daurade, where
he was received with open arms by NJ.
de Sicard.
"You must thank the captain" said
the Marquis TO his daughter, "that you
still have father, and to him / owe,
beside my fortune, the happiness OF
being able again 10 embrace YOU"
Jeanne soon learned that she loved
Francois, and he had long loved her.
The Marquis consented tc theirmarriage,
which was celebrated with pomp in the
Church of oix-Daurade.
On the day following their wedding
Francois and Jeanne visited the littls
house in which poor Marguerite had
died, and in which, on a stormy night in
December, the Marquis and his daughter
had sought shelter on returning from
midnight mass.
Jeanne, said Francois TO his wife,
'this scene recalls TO me all your kind
ness TO the mother of wretched shep-
herd boy, and it was here first loved
you. - New York Graphic.

A veritable Apparition.

A clergyman of the Church OF Eng
land related to a friend the following
circumstance which was originally con-
tributed, in substance, to Notes and
Queries: zone evening, some two year,
since, my brother, an officer in the
army, residing at Westminster, sur
prised me by visit at my house in Hol
loway, Just as We were retiring to rest.
Brother, exclaimed he. in an excited
manner, mother is dead When and
how did you hear Z Iasked, as she was liv
ing some considerable distance from
town, and was, so far as we both knew,
although aged, in good health. Il have
seen her pass me twice this evening in
my room, with her head bandaged, and
l could not rest till [ saw you, he re-
piled. In response to his conviction
and entreaties it was determined to
take the first train in the morning to the
locality where our mother resided, and
upon our arrival, sure enough we
found, to my intense surprise, that our
mother had died suddenly the previous
evening at the exact hour my brother
had Witnessed the apparition.

at first he was embarrassed, for he
did not know how to beat a single meas
ure but his embarrassment did not last
long. He practiced almost constantly,
and within month, by the l4th of July,
the day Of the first federation, he excit-
ed the admiration of all by the manner
in which he beat his drum at the head
of his company.
He certainly looked very handsome in
his blue costume, with red trimmings,
his hat cooked ON one side of his head,
with large tricolor plume, which part
tally shaded his face. He was by this
time sturdy, well formed youth, with
an open countenance and eyes that
flashed brightly under their long lashes.
As he passed beating a march, people
could not help exclaiming:
''Ah, the handsome drummer"
Once in an avenue where the National
Guard passed IN review before the stand
that had been erected there, Francois
saw Jeanne at her fathers side. She
blushed as he passed. She had recog-
nized him, but Francois did not have
time to notice the effect his transforma-
ton had on her, for the regiment was
marching at qulckstep. The glimpse
be had Of her was like vision, but one
of those visions which one loves to
recall and the memory Of which is an
enduring pleasure. For week Francois
could think Of nothing else; he dreamed
of her at night, and, while beating his
drum at the head of his company, it
seemed to him that his beautiful bene-
faetress must be at the corner of the
next street, and that she would see him
and, like the others, applaud him.
But he did not see her, no matter how
carefully he scanned the faces in the
crowd, and never again while beating
his drum at the head Of the National
Guard did his ewes fall on the face Of
Jeanne de Sicard.
Three years passed
During that time many important
events occurred with extraordinary rnpi-

Though little bring"

As it burst from the mighty hill,

Wherever flow,
The pastures grow greener still"
And the drops Of rain,
As they fall on the plain.
When parched by the summer heat,
Refresh the SWEET flowers
Which dropped in the bowers,
And hung their heads at our feet.
Though the drops are small,
Yet, taking them all,
Each one doing all that it can
To fulfill the design

May we strive TO fulfill

Creator divine,
We should ever be thine,
And serve Thee, our God and our Lord.

She Saved the Train.

The people of Illinois point with pride
to their heroine, Kate Greyson, who
walked several miles at night in storm,
crawling over trestles and embankments
in order to warn the engineer of an ex-
cursion train that the bridge across the
river had been washed from its moorings
by the food tide. She reached the sta
ton in time and the danger signal was
raised. The train stopped and hundreds
Of lives were saved By special act of

warded for her bravery.-lNew York

AN important decision was rendered
in the supreme court ON the Goth inst.
About the time the various counties of
Michigan were adopting local option,
there sprang up all over the state large
numbers of social clubs, organized un-
der act %, laws of 1888. Among them
was the New Era club, of Grand Rapids,
which elected Geo. ii. Soule manager
of its club rooms. In this capacity he
dispensed liquor to members of the
club, who also were permitted to treat
friends, and the money so received was
turned into the treasury and used for
paying running expenses, replenishing
stock, etc. Finally Soule was arrested
and convicted in Kent circuit court for
selling liquor without license. He
appealed to the supreme court, which
affirmed his conviction. There are over
100 clubs in the state organized UNI
der this law; and majority of them
are conducted in the same manner and
for the same purpose as the New Era.
Nearly all cities and many towns in the
state have one or more of them. This
decision, of course, will apply To all
clubs having sideboards and no license.

SHORT work was made of the nomina-
ton of a candidate for justice of the
supreme court at the state convention
last week. Judge G. b. Grant, of the
25th judicial circuit, was nominated on
the first formal ballot Following is a
brief sketch of the life and services of
Judge Grant:
Claudius Il. Grant was born i'm Leb-
anon, York county, Maine, in 1885, and
is chock full of that good common sense
for which the New England states are
noted. He became Il Wolverine in 1855,
when he entered the state university of
Ann Arbor as "A student. He graduated
from that institution i'm 1859 and inn
mediately became superintendent of
the Ann Arbor schools, which position
he filled in most creditable manner
for three years. Then he enlisted i'm
the army as captain of an Ann ArbOr
company. He served with honor until
the close of the war, when he was mus
tered out rs colonel of the Goth Mich
igan infantry.
After the war was ended he returned
10 his alma mater, and entered the law
department. After his course there,
Col. Grant entered the law office of Gov.
Felch, aud was admitted TO the bar, be-
coming the governors partner, and was
afterwards married To his associate's
daughter. In 1871 and 1873, Mr.. Grant
attached an honorable to his name,
by election to the lower house Of the
legislature. In 1871 he was chosen "A
regent of the university, in which ca
pacIty he served eight years. In the fall
of 1878 Grant went TO Houghton, where
he entered law partnership with Hon.
Joseph H. Chandler of Chicago. This
firm continued until the votes of the
people made it Judge Grant in 1891. A
reelection followed in 1897; and he now
presides over the 25th judicial circuit
in manner that is highly gratifying
TO the people who have business before
HIM. A distinguished soldier, a success.
ful attorney and a model Judge, his rep.
utation is SO widely extended that there
is noneed for any introduction or praise
from the state press.
For regents of the university, G. 5
Draper and w. J Croker were nomi
mated absolutely without opposition
The ticket is a strong one and a sure
winner.

Not long since the LIGHT called at
tention to the fact that cattle in
Texas were sure to advance in price
on account of the falling off in the
numbers of young cattle on the range.
Referring to this same subject the
Kerrville News says:
"a gentleman who possesses un-
usual facilities for acquiring accurate
information touching the cattle range
interest remarked in our hearing a
few days ago, that from the best data
he was satisfied that the production
of cattle on the range-that is the
actual raising of calves-had fallen
off at least 60 per cent within the last
three years."
Those who have young cattle to dis
pose of will find heavy demand fCr
them within the next year or two.

THE Central Republican club Of
Harris county, has memorialized the
president to disregard the recommen-
dations of De Gress and Quincy in the
matter of federal appointments in
Texas. This action of the club bodies
no good to the republican party in
Texas. Already are they seen to be at
such disagreementamong themselves
that no concert of action can be taken
and recommendations to office from
outside the state are more needed
than those within. The wishes of
Texas republicans go for nothing in
the distribution of the patronage of
the state and for the condition of af-
fairs the publicans are themselves to
blame. Perhaps, those who, at the
meeting of the state executive COM
mittee last February, opposed the
preamble, setting forth the disorgan-
lied condition of the party in Texas
would vote differently today. Its dis
organization is seen and known of all
the country.

Trusty Mexicans.

City of Mexico Cor. Chicago Journal.
All the people with whom we came
i'm con tact were honest and industri-
Gus. Honest on eighteen cents a day,
their ordinary wages! AT hotel in
Mexico one of our party, upon leaving
one morning for the usual round of
sightseeing, left diamond pin under
her pillow. Upon her return she
found it pinned up in a conspicuous
place where Pedro had placed it. All
the chamber maids are men and are
mostly named Pedro or Jesus. We
never locked a trunk or valise, and
one careful gentleman left his gunny
sack filled with Mexican silver dollars
lying OH the table in his room for five
days and never missed one. So cour-
teous and kind are all these people
that ones love for poor human nature
takes long stride forward.
