"a single inclosure of 81. 900 is the
largest amount / remember to have
been received from one person. 1t
was little singular that for this large
sum there was absolutely nothing to
show whence it came except the post
mark on the envelope. Even that may
have been misleading, as it is quite
possible that the repentant sinner sent
it away from home to be mailed. He
was evidently very careful to conceal
his identity, as the money was in four
81 900 bills. Upon the paper wrapped
around the money was written: Please
place this to the credit of Conscience

might easily have been followed up,

spirit of mischief than anything else
he detached the stamp and used it on

The Cormorant of Countries.

Great Britain is the cormorant of coun-
tries. The splendid trope used by Webster
TO describe the extent Of its dominion in
every quarter of the globe is truer to-day
than at the time of its utterance half cent
ury ago. The sun never sets upon the scar
let uniform or the ax-gatherer for the Brit
ish crown. Out of the little island, once a
conquest of the Roman Empire, has spread
a colonizing and conquering people whose
dominion has spread to worlds unknown
by Alexander and Caesar. No continent is
free from it's sway. From the little island
of Hehgoland, less than mile in extent,
held under the very frown of Bismarck,
and the slightly larger fastness of Glib
raltar, which is grasped firmly in the very
face of Spain, Great Britain, having pos
sessions in every continent and in every
group of islands, ascends to complete and
pltiless dominion over the peoples of India
The mere schedule would fill column. The
total area is nearly 100000 miles; the to-
tai population only less than 275,OOOOOO.

A QUICK coURTsHIP.
How an Eccentric Illinois Farmer Wooed
and Won His Wife.

HOW an EcConCr1C Illinois Farmer WOO0O
and Won His Wife.
Jacob Strawn, of Jacksonville, ILL.,, was
during his life time the largest farmer in
Illinois, and very eccentric man. The cir
cumstances of his marriage were as follows
Outside of Jacksonville, couple of
miles, perhaps, there lived quite a respect
able family. This family employed servant
One day he rode up to the door Of the resi-
dence of the fair maid alighted from his
horse, and knocked with the butt end of his
whip. The lady of the house answered his
summons, and Immediately upon her max
ing her appearance, Jacob asked for the
servant girl.
The servant girl came. Jacob said:
81 want wife and have picked you out
as the most proper person for that position
can possibly find. I've, never spoken to
you before, but then that makes no differ
ence. I'll give you one week to decide"
The girl blushed and was dumbfounded.
Jacob mounted his horse and rode away.
The girl inquired into Mr.. Strawn's charac-
ter and standing, and was advised by those
with whom she lived to accept the offer of
his hand. Punctually, week later, Jacob
rode up to the door and knocked again with
his Whip and asked:
"Is it no or yes~
Blushingly the girl answered in low
tone, but quite distinctly
''Yes"
| .'Well' said Jacob, "let's see; Wen get
married the day after tomorrow, Wednes-
day. Here's some money to buy wedding
outfit" and he threw her purse contain
ing thousand dollars.
The couple did get married on Wednes-
day, and no happier pair, during their life
time, was to be met with in the State of
Illinois.

THE:OUEBEC DISASTER.

QUEBEC, Sept. 23-Dennis Beringen,
son of Michael Timothy Beringen, who
succumbed to wounds received in the re-
cent land slide, died today. The remains
of several victims recovered yesterday
were buried today. The funeral of Thorn
as Nolan, who was member of the Eighth
battalion, was conducted with military
honors.
About sixty men employed by the city
are now at work with steam engines and
derricks removing the debris and the
work is progressing rapidly. Those well
acquainted with the locality assert that
the number Of people missing is greater
than fifteen.
Engineers examined the newly discov-
cred crack, which runs 200 feet under the
southeast end of Dufferin terrace.
The fissure was three days ago
but few inches wide. and is now
about five feet wide and some fifty feet
deep. General Cameron expressed his
opinion very clearly on the subject. Not
only the houses on Champlain street ad-
joining the heap of ruins, but all the
houses on both sides and on the whole
length OF the street, numbering about 900,
should be deserted, not on account or I'M
mediate danger but because the rocks are
daily loosening and tumbling down, con-
shutting permanent danger to pasSerS-
by. 1t is the general Opinion that the
houses Immediately under the threatening
rocks should be vacated instantly or an
other catastrophe will be added TO the hOr-
rors Of the present disaster.

On the monument has been replaced by a

are always prominent in movements that
have for their object the benefting of other
classes but they are sadly Indifferent to
honoring their own profession. The per-
sonal friends of the late John Mccullough
have erected a stately monument to his
memory, and this is as 1t should be, for his
claims to recognition were personal rather
than representative. Edwin Forrest needs
no nobler monument than the Forrest home

Rattlers on the Rampage.

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer,
there was scene of wild commoeion in the
crowded waiting rooms of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton depot caused by the
sudden arrival Of upwelcome visitors. They
were snakes, aud of the variety known as
rattlers. Their snakeets. four Of them, were
in the baggage room awaiting transportation
to a museum in New Orleans. How they got
out no one knows.
The first intination of their presence was
wild shrek from a female, who hastily
climbed on to a seat, pulling her skirts up
around her ankles.
A snake about five feet long was crawling
slowly across the floor, his head undulating
first in one direction and then the other, as if
uncertain where to go, and closely following
his first snakeship were three others, all
wriggling in the liveliest manner
There was hurried scurrying of the hum
dred or more commuters in the room, and
standing room on the benches was speedily
at premium. Several passengers forgot all
about their trains and rushed UP Fifth street.
Finally Depot Waterman Dennis O'Dowd APP
peared, and with his cane and poker picked
up one Of the squirming rattlers and put him
back in the box. Snake No. 2 was found
curled up under stool in front of the lunch
counter, on top of which was standing a
scared girl. He, too, was put in the box. By
this time, however, the other two reptiles got
away, and the closest search failed to find
them.

Banana Culture.

The edible banana, it is said, is known to
seed only in one small spot on earth, the An
daman islands However this may be, it is
universally grown from suckers. Its Guilt
walton in the West Indies has vastly increased
during the past fifteen years, owing to the
demands of the United States for its cheap,
wholesome and luscious fruit. About 400 or
500 trees are planted to the acre, and the
plantations are called banana walks" In
former days any available spot was chosen,
usually an abandoned cane field, where the
ground was most easily prepared for the new
crop But experience and competition have
brought about more careful methods Of
planting, and the best place for banana
walk is now considered valley CT hillside
with western prospect. The tree fruits the
first year, and the expense of cultivation is
SO small that bunch Of bananas, delivered
at the sea coast, need have cost its owner no
more than four or five cents, while it may be
sold in the winter months for from twelve to
eighteen cents, and in the spring months for
four times as much. There are risks attend
ing banana cultivation, however, for the
thievish negroes often seriously decrease the
value Of crop, and it MAY be entirely swept
away in a single hour by hurricane As
soon as the bananas begin 20 cast shade,
young cocoa plants are set out between
them, as this tree needs protection from the
SUI in its youth, and when the bananas cease
to be profitable, which is at the end of three
or four years, almond trees CT other fruit
trees are often set in their places, while a
new walk is laid out elsewhere Boston

For Use and Ornament.

The fashionable woman Of our time is with
out pockets and she is forced to other means
of transporting those indispensable nova
5les, such as handkerchief, purse, ~inaigrette,
keys, etc. This renders the bag problem one
of no little Importance, and happy the she
whose nimble mind leads to the invention Of
something above the commonplace in the
way of bags, Of which there are many pretty
kinds. Many Of them are composed of netted
silk and cut beads, or Of quaint appearing
brocaded silk. But it is the all-oyer-the-house
bag that is more strictly practical hooking.
The housewife, with an overwhelming sense
OF the fitness Of things, has a bewildering
array of bags, from the prescribed family
rag bag, made of heavy unbleached p.us-
lin, that hangs in the sewing room, to the
splendid satin, embroidered receptacle that is
purposely only half hidden on the parlor
wall, and that contains a square Of sheer
drawn linen, called By courtesy dust rag.

ever is the one filled with orris root or violet
