The Brain.

Our brains are seventy year clocks.

Angel Of the Resurrection. Tic tao

our will cannot stop them they can
not stop themselves; sleep cannot
still them madness only makes them
60 faster; death alone can break in

swinging pendulum, which we cal
the heart, silences at last the clinkine
of the terrible escapement we have
carried so long beneath our wrinkleC
foreheads. OLIVER w. HOLMES.

A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of con-
sumption, told by physicians that she
was incurable and could live only a
short time; she weighed less than
seventy pounds. On piece of wrap
ping paper she read of DR.. Kings
New Discovery, and got a sample
bottle; it helped her, she bought a
large bottle, it helped her more, she
bought another and grew better fast,
continued to use it and is now strong,
healthy, rosy, plump, weighing lao
pounds. For fuller particulars send

The Bastinado.

| witnessed this punishment in
front of the pasha's palace in Damas-
Gus. The culprit was lying full length
on the ground, with a brawny Turk
ish soldier sitting cross-legged on his
chest, like nightmare, by way of
making him comfortable, while two
men held up the soles of his feet in
the air, and two others belabored
them with long sticks as if beating a
carpet. The victim himself never
uttered a sound, but the two who
were thrashing him screamed and
howled like demons-perhaps to save
him the trouble of doing ii himself.
The moment the punishment was
over, up jumped two other men and
tiogged the floggers emselves,
doubtless for not hitting hard enough;
and then a fat old Turkish major,
who had been watching the whole
business with smile of quiet, heart
felt enjoyment, waddled placidly up
and boxed their ears all round ,as if he
were giving them his blessing, after
which the congregation dispersed.

How the Yankee Skipper and Seamen Saved
the Passengers and Cargo Of the Alliance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-There was a mighty
lively fire aboard the Brazilian mail steam
ship Alliance, on July 8. while she was 135
miles from Bahia and about twenty-five
miles from the coast of Brazil. A story of
the fire got here a few days later in a very
brief dispatch. The Alliance is one of the
very few steamships that are Differed en-
tirely by Yankees. Thatthey are the right
kind of people to have on ~shipb0ard in an
emergency is proved by the way they han
newspapers of Brazil are lavish in their
praises of the courage and GOODNESS of Capt.
Beers and his able assistants.
The fire broke out about $50 p; NJ. in a
1relght compartment amidshlps' where were
stored forty-tive casks of rum and a lot
of cotton in bale. How the ire started is
not known. A few minutes after the third
assistant engineer. Joseph Neptune, dis
covered it. the rum casks began to ex-
plode. Nearly ali the eighty-ive passen-
gers, including forty-five women and chill
dren. many of whom were Americans, had
gone to bed. They got ND In a hurry and
rushed on deck. Captain Beers headed his
ship for the shore, while engineer Van Adler
slime got out five lines of hose aud pumped
water into the compartment through the
c0al-bunker matches. Anchor was dropped
within five miles of the coast. and all the
passengers were put aboard i've life-boats.
MulCu WcIo swung lnJO tu6 WdtcI. All OF
ficer had charge of each boat. Little
streams of rum. burning pale blue. poured
out of every crease in the blazing c0mpart-
ment. The captain, the engineer and his
assistants and the crew stayed aboard the
ship and fought the fire until dawn, when
they got it under control. By that time
there was only one boiler on board with
steam in il. All the boiler fires had been
e~xtinguished by the water poured into the
burning compartment to which the fire was
confined. The only damage to the hull of
the steamer was the warping of a plate on
the starbOard side. The officers and crew
were exhausted by the time they got the
fire under control. The carpenter and half
a dozen of the men were slightly burned
about the hands and face. and nearly every
body lost part of his hair or whiskers. The
burned cargo was pitched overheard. The
passengers were helped back into the ship
and she proceeded to Bahia. A ~thanksgiv-
ing service was held on the way thither, at
which the Rev. Mr.. Howe, of Virginia. pre-
sided. The passengers signed a paper com
plimenting the captain and his men for
their gallantry. After the ship reached
Bahia $1,000 was raised among the wealthy
residents and passengers to buy presents
for the brave Yankees.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Civil-service Com
missioners Lyman and Thompson had an
interview with the President this morning
with regard to some contemplated changes
shortly to be made in the civil-service rules.
Mr.. Lyman presented to the President
rough drafts of the rules and amendments
contemplated, and discussed with the Pres
ident the effect of the changes and the rea-
sons that induced the commission to re-
commend them. The President is under
stood to favor the changes contemplated.
AS soon as the amendments to the rules can
be formulated they will be forwarded to
the President at Deer Park. In the light of
information impaired to him to-day, it is
expected that the President can consider
the changes within a few days. 1t is ex-
pected hat the changes can be made public
by the latter part of next week. 1t is init
mated that one of the rules. as amended,
will provide for putting all the chiefs of
divisions within the classified service, and
further provide that when vacancies occur
in the positions of chiefs of divisions pro-
motions shall be made from within the
classified service.
