The story of the Newfoundland dog be-
longing to Charles Tupper, "a restaurant
proprietor in New York, is one that will
startle a great many persons who are study
ing the mysterious forces and powers Of the
electrical current, which human ingenuity
has so far only partially harnessed and CON
trolled, but scarcely vet understands, The
dog ran against a dangling Give" wire Of
AN electric light company, fell on it and
lay motionless. With due precaution the
body was presently pulled off and every ef'
fort made TO resuscitate the animal, which
was a great pet. A veterinary surgeon
was called in, who pronounced the dog
dead. Two or three hours afterward an
electrical expert suggested making pit in
the earth and placing the dogs body in il
to see if the forces of nature might not
carry away the electricity from the body
The plan was tried All night and all tn,
next day the supposed corpse was motion
less, hut on the second dav there were signs
of life, aud ON the fourth the animal re-
vived and struggled 10 his feet a live dos
once more, weak and stiff, but very mucl
better than dead dog. 1t has since beeI
carefully nursed and now shows no signs o
the accident. The incident may well sug
gest inquiry whether the death punishment
of murderers by electrical shocks is suili
cient.

Specimen verdict. of Coroner., Jurie.

Specimen verdicts of Coroners' Juriea.
Some cases Of comparatively recent oc-
currence will serve TO illustrate the defects
of the coroner system. Here are four in
stances from a single New England state
In certain town, a man shot himself
"a coroner hearing Of the fact, and still
in ignorance whether death had occurred,
summoned Jury and hastened to the
place, only to find the man alive. Select
ing the nearest saloon as a waiting place,
the coroner and his jury remained there un-
til the man was dead, employing a boy in
the neighborhood TO keep them informed as
to the mans condition, until he had ceased
to breathe, when they proceeded with the
| inquest"
In another place.
THE body Of a drowned man was towed
across a mill-pond from one town to auoth-
er, TO save the first town. in which the
body was found, the expense Of inquest
| fees"
The following humorous verdict was rem
dered by Tennessee coroner's jury:
"He come to his death from the follow.
ing causes, TO wit from some sudden
cause, to the jurors unknown.
An lrishman named O'Connor was killed
in Minnesota by one Cochrane, and about
his dead body assembled jury of six men
who rendered the following verdict, given
here without the original spelling
Martin O'Connor, here lying dead, came
to his death by shot from a gun, which
caused the blood to rush in torrents from
his body, SO that it was impossible for him
TO live until we could hold an inquest"
The following is reported from Kentucky
'Inquisition held on the body of Holmes
deseasts Dec. 8, 1853 We of the said ju
ry, by being summoned and qualified, and
hearing the evidences, and making true
and diligous resentments over the said body
of said deseasts, twelve men met, and be

he came to his death by some fit or other
apoplexy. Doctor being duly sworn by

A Word for .he Cnpi.nli...

The mind of man is the prime factor in
all material production without it the
mere labor of the hand would he incapable
of providing for an increasing population.
Setting aside all distinction of classes, and
reasoning only ON the qualities of mind
which are necessary to the accumulation of
capital, it becomes apparent, l., that the
saving at the beginning, however little
it may be, is due to prudence, self
denial, economy and sagacity ,, that the
productive use of capital, after it has been
saved, calls for intelligence, skill and men
tai capacity 3, that the larger the capital
the greater is the mental capacity required
for its application to productive purposes :;
4, that unless capital is directed to produc
tive purposes, whether invested in land
mills, railroads, or works of any kind, it
yields neither rent, interest, profit, nor
earnings when productive, it increases
production more than it secures as income
), that unless labor did in fact secure bet.
ter subsistence in the service of capital
the workmen would refuse to work for the
capitalists. .-Edl0drd Atkinson ia August

The Anennlin.

The spectacle of the kremlin is unique
in the world, and utterly unlike anything
that the traveller may have seen anywhere.
Its buildings are not blackened by time.
The aspect is white, relieved with brilliant
color and FURNISHED gold. After the same
manner as the Alhambra, the Kremlin oc-
cupies the plateau of a hill, which it en-
velops within its rosy white walls. with
their battlements indented like the notch of
an arrow. These walls, iianked by green
rooted watch towers, of which no two are
alike, and pierced by five roseate brick
gate towers, each sLrmounted by spires of
various designs, form an irregular triangle,
within which are enclosed four large open
squares or places, three cathedrals, seven
churches, convent, a monastery, three
imperial palaces, the Senate House, the
| Synodal buildings, the tower of Ivan the
/ Great, with at its foot the "Tsar kolokol, "
or King of Bells, which has never been
rung, and the arsenal, with at one corner
the "Tsar Pushka. or King of Guns, which
has never been fired-a monster weighing
40 tons, cast in 1886. Seen from the quays
of the Mnskwa river, the Kremlin suggests
one of those fairy towns which the imagin'
alton of the Eastern story telers loves Il
build it is neither Italian nor Byzantine
nor Indian in STYLE but partaking of all
these inspirations, and yet remaining nov

An ola.rime AboIi,ioni., mou.ehoId.

There was a refreshing simplicity about
the anti slavery issues as they lay in the
minds Of the Garrsonian abolitionsts.
They were very nOurishing to the soul,
though they sometimes conduced to a spirit
of self-righteousness, and induced habit
of disobedience to the old command that
we should Judge not, lest we be judged.
My private opinion is that most of these So
called fanatics, whether with or without
good reason for their courage, would have
feared no judgment which could have been
meted out to them on earth or in heaven.
They did not see two sides to any phase of
their great question there was to them
only one right and only one wrong i'll all
matters pertaining to it, As for worldly
wisdom, they believed the phrase to be a
contradiction in terms There was but one
wisdom, and that was not of this world-it
was of God. They were called irreligious
because they termed the American church
brotherhood of thieves. The fact was,
that the certainty of their religious convic-
tion as to right and wrong gave them the
cool daring to use such phrases. They held
that God cared for consequences when men
did their duty 1t was strong doctrine for
eager, impressible children to imbibe In
our household we took it very seriously.
Anti-slavery held the place in our family
life which had been withdrawn from the
occupancy of church influences, since they
had been deemed tainted by the spirit of
moral compromise. We made no jest and
no play about anything concerned with alb
olitonism-unless it could be considered
trihing with the sacred subject to name a
pet kitten after Jessie Fremont. We used
to play we were Indians as we ran through
the long aisles of green corn in the field.

stonewnII JacksOn's Plan.

A southern paper, the Charlotte, n. c.,
Chronicle, prints what it says was a plan
devised by Stonewall jackson to carry the
horrors of invasion into the North during
the war. The plan was approved by Gen.
Lee but killed by Mr.. Davis. 1t was, in
brief, to organize several interior camps at
the more important points in the South,
and use the best troops as light, movable
columns of not over 40, 600 or 80, 600 pick
ed men each, to be hurled against the enc
my as they invaded the southern territory,
or use them to make rapid incursions on the
North. The best and least-protected cities
would be attacked without notice, and con-
trbutions of $500, 900 to 81, ,000 900 levied
on them, destroying those that refused to
pay. Gen. jackson went so far as to spec
ify the states he would nvade-Pennsylva
MIA, Ohio and Kansas. No prisoners would
be taken except high civil officials, whom
he would hold for ransom.
Gen. jackson told Capt. Barringer, his
brother law, that he would parole all
men of the rank and file falling into hi:
hands at the point of the bayonet, and
make them understand that if ever taken
again they would be put to the sword with
out trial This plan was divulged on July

The Temple of J.rusalem.

The most famous and TO me the most in
teresting relic of an ancient building is the
foundation of the temple Of Jerusalem. Ii

pie of the Jews when he captured Jerusalem.

very foundation of the temple if it had been
possible. But it was built for durability,
and will stand unimpaired for thousands of

anxious TO see the foundation of the temple.

der the beholder. In those days there was
no mortar no cement used in building and
the marble is joined together in a way that
the modeTns have been unable TO initiate. On
a part of this foundation has been built a
Haram-not harem. The Haram altogether
is one of the most beautiful structures | have
ever seen. 1t is built Of all kinds of stones
and finished most artistically in pure orien'

building TO me consists in the effects of the
light upon the interior walls aud pillars. II

The Author of n weII-known ChiId's
Hyulu,

How many of the myriads who in child
hood have sung "There is a happy land
far, far away know anything of its writer
His name is Andrew Young, and he is now
eighty years of age, is still mentally and
physically vigorous, and retaining in all its
early freshness his sympathy with the chill
dren. The hymn was composed in 1888.
The tune TO which it is married is an old
Indian air, which blended with the music
Of the woods long before Sunday schools
were thought Of. The hymn was composed
for the melody. Its bright and strongly
marked phrases struck Mr. Young's musical
ear the first time he heard it casually played
in the drawing room. He asked for it
again and again. 1t haunted him, the words
took form in his mind, and so the hymn was
created. 1t has been translated into nine
teen different languages, and yet the author
has never received, and, indeed, has never
been offered, a penny remuneration. 1t is
only recently that Professor David Mason,
referring to the unique influence of this
lyric stated a most touching incident in the
life of Thackeray. Walking one day in a
''slum' district in London he suddenly came
upon band of gutter children sitting on
the pavement. They were singing. Draw
ing nearer he heard the words There is
happy land, far far away :" As he
looked at the ragged choristers and their
squalid surroundings, and saw that their
pale faces were lit up with a thought which
brought both forgetfulness and hope, the
tender-hearted cynic burst into tears.
