A REMARKABLE RIDE.

A sad railroad ride and a remarkable
one was that taken by Mrs. r. l.. Stew
ART of New York yesterday. She was
at Thomasville Ga, lying near her
death with consumption, and the tele-
graph this morning relates how, with
the longing TO die at home upon her,
she had special train chartered and
paid the price of an hundred ordinary
trips for the sake of being carried to
New York in twenty-four hours. The
trip was made, special engineers and
engines were in waiting, the train tore
across the country at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, and the dying woman is
now at her home in New York awaiting
the end. II was wonderful ride
What thoughts came to the sick
woman as the train whirled through
State after State? Was she wondering
whether or not, by an effort of will,
she could retain the vital spark in her
body until she reached New York?
Would she complete the shorter jour
ney before entering upon that long one
of which none can tell the direction
OF the ending? Was she thinking of
the bed in which she would lie at home,
of the furniture and little adornments
OF the apartment and all the familiar
objects which would meet her eyes
once more before their final closing
upon all such things? Did she mind
the roar of the flying train or the dis.
comfort 10 her frail bodyH 1t is curious
10 speculate upon her thoughts-her
eager desire can be comprehended.
1t is pleasant to know that dying
woman should thus have her last wish
grati6ed, but from the mere association
OF ideas comes the thought of the
thousands who are not so fortunate.
What hosts die yearly far away from
home longing for one more glimpse OF
the old faces and the old scenes. Sadly
fortunate wns Mrs. Stewart.

DISILLUSION.


She stands, a thing OF beauty, passing fair
Around her head the struggling sunlight
skins,
And, oh, the beauty of her wet, brown
hair,
The lissome languor of her perfect limbs!
would could describe her standing
there
Above the dimpled POOLS white marble
rim,
Pausing with pretty, hesitating air
Ere plunging in the pool to dive and
swim.
Breathless she rises, rosy as the dawn,
The water from her hair she lightly fings,
She is princess to the manner born;
Like cerements her linen tunic clings.
Lightly she walks into the sun-kissed mist,
And, bending o'er another nymph as fair,
She gently strokes her shoulder, arm and
wrist,
And twines her fingers In her soft, damp
hair
Who can she bep And what may be her
name?
Who is this nymph who so much beauty
hath9
Venus? Or Helen of immortal fameY
No, an attendant In a Russian bath.

THE CANADIAN ISSUE.

The battle is fairly on in Canada be-
tween the Jesuits and those who hold,
as Colonel O'Brien declared in his
speech in Parliament yesterday, that no
act isright which endows from public
funds religious organization, thereby
violating the unwritten but undoubted
constitutional principle Of the complete
separation of Church and State, and of
the absolute equality of all denomina-
tons before the law, OF which recognizes
the usurpation Of the right by foreign
authority-namely, the Pope Of Rome
TO claim that his consent was necessary
TO empower the Provincial Legislature
10 dispose of portion of the public
domain. The struggle began yesterday,
when resolution was introduced ,op.
posing and intended to undo the act
the Quebec Legislature in practically
giving to the Jesuits large amount of
public moneys.
A few time-servers in the Parliament
attempted in yesterdays debate to re.
main neutral, but they will soon be
forced to take one side or the other.
The issue in Canada is too important to
allow Of anything but an ultimate sharp
drawing Of lines. If any religious
power is allowed to meddle with the
functions of civil government in the
Dominion, then Canada is retrograding.
That country is not abreast with the
Worlds progress where Church and
State are not distinct.

COLONEL sHEPARD's MISSION,

And what does Colonel Elliott F. Shepard
geti Isn't this Government going to send any
minister to the heather FL Minneapolis Jour.
nal.
The above fascinating but sad sug-
gestion from our esteemed North
western contemporary is attracting the
attention It deserves II is only q
wonder that the idea embodied has
never occurred to anyone before.
Colonel Shepard deserves great deal
from the present Administration and is
eminently fitted for the sort Of mission
referred to. He must not be neglected.
At the National Republican Conven-
tion Colonel Shepard was an admitted
power. He put one candidate out Of
the field--a feat no other single indi-
vidual can boast of--for his style Of
support of DePew killed that gentle
mans chances in no time, Colonel
Shepard is a political power. Political
powers should be recognized.
Fitness for the place is an essential in
a diplomat Colonel Shepard has fit
ness for mission to the heather. He
is pious, one Of the most, perhaps the
most pious man In the United States,
and the heatheus need conversion.
Colonel Shepard would az least try to
bring them to q sense Of the error of
their ways, for he is always trying that
sort Of thing. He can't help il.

markable women in Michigan, celebrated
her S0th birthday ut Detroit recently by a

II This the De Brank .

A dispatch from Lewes, DEL, says RAN
dolph johnson, diver on the Atlantic and
Gulf Wrecking Company's steamer Tamesi,
thinks he has found the treasure-ship De
Braak. The steamer Tamesi has been In
the harbor for the last two weeks sweeping
for anchors. About one week ago they
caught an anchor while sweeping, but could
not bring II to the surface with steam
power Being unsuccessful they gave IT
up. On Saturday last another trial was
given, but It proved as unsuccessful as be-
fore. AS everybody on the vessel was very
anxious to know how and by what the
anchor was held by such a tight grasp,
Diver johnson descended in the evening
johnson said to correspondent Monday;
"When / descended found the remains Of
an old wreck which must have been on the
bottom for great many years. Only a
few pieces OF timber could be made out by
me, The wood was worm-eaten and like a
sponge. The anchor was fast In the side of
the wreck and could not be removed. This
vessel lies directly In the line along the
coast, although some distance from the
place where DR.. Pancoast was working.
The Oldest citizen Of Lewes knows nothing
of any vessel ever sinking here, and by the
look Of the wood the vessel is the De
Braak -

THERE rs growing demand for
some kind of change in the housing
of our Presidents and their families.
Every time new family goes into
the White House complaints come
in in quantity and an agitation ensues
as TO the proper remedy. To the aver
age person 1t would appear that the SEN
sible thing TO do is to build or buy
suitable private residence for the family
of the President in some good location
and convert the White House into his
public residence The offices might re-
main there as usual and all great recep-
tions, state dinners and such other gen.
eral affairs could be held there, reserv
ing the private residence for the usual
purposes of such buildings. In this
way the White House, with all its ira
ditions, would still remain the Exec
utive Mansion, the official residence of
the President, while the other house
would permit his family to be free from
the very disagreeable publicity of the
official house. A more healthful loca-
ton, too, might be chosen than the
present one, and in every way the com
fort of all concerned would be greatly
increased and at comparatively small
expense.
