THE SILENT LIFE.


We lead two lives, the outward seeming fair
And full of smiles that on the surface lie
The other spent in many silent prayer,
With thoughts and feelings hidden from
the eye.
The weary, weary hours of mental pain,
Unspoken yearnngs for the dear one
gone,
The wishes, half-detined, yet crushed again
Make up the silent life we lead alone.
And happy visions we may never show,
Gid all thissilent life with sweet romance
That fade like sunsets clouds we know,
Yet life seems brighter for each stolen
glance
This silent life, we little reck Its power
To strengthen us for either good or ilf
Whether We train our thoughts like birds
to soar;
Or let them wander whereso'er they will.
This silent life not those we love may share,
Though day by day we strive to draw
them close;
Our secret chamber-non0 may enter there,
Save that one Eye that never seeks repose.
And if beneath that Eye we do not quail,
Though all the earth may turn from US
aside,
We own a secret power that shall prevail
When every motive of our life Is tried.

Banana Plants Fructify LaVishly.

In tropical countries bananas are
propagated principally by suckers.
which spring up about the old or bear'>
ing stems. P!auts are also ,a'sed from
seed, mainly for the purpose Of produc-
ing new varieties, of which there are
now an immense number in cultivation.
The tall. growing varieties, with stems
ten to fifteen feet high. will usually bear
fruit when about eighteen months old,
if planted in the richest soils OF the
tropics; but dwarf varieties are said to
come into fruit earlier, or in about one
year. Botanists have described about
eighteen species of plantains and bananas.
giving them different names, but it is
now Thought that most of those de-
scribed as species are merely local vafis='
ties. The banana produces food for.
millions of people, far surprising in
quantity that of any other plant in pro.
portion to the space it occupies. 1t has
been calculated that the same area.ye
ouired to produce 100 pounds of pota.'
toes will produce more than two tons OF
bananas. The dwarf varieties of the
banana grow and produce fruit freely in.
hot houses, and the fruit is as finely
favored as that produced in the tropics.

. LIEUT.. W1ssMAN, the eminent Ger.
man traveller, says that OF late years a
great change has taken place in the
attitude of the Arabs of Africa toward
Europeans. The danger of European
ascendency has made them very hos
tile, defiant and relentless. They no
longer hesitate to show that the right
belongs to them of carrying on the
slave trade, and that they mean to
exercise it. The slave dealers charged
Lieutenant Wissman to inform the
English on Lake Tanganyika that any
attempt on their part to interfere with
the traffic would bring war upon them.
The traveller is convinced that warlike
measures against the Arabs must be
reeorted to if o secure foundation is
sought for the establishment of Euro
pean civilization in Africa.

THE ELECTORAL Vote.
Second and Formal Election For
President and Vice. President.
How the Electoral Ballots Have
Been Cast in the State Capitals.

In every State of this Union on Monday
distinguished citizens, chosen last November
for the purpose, met at their respective
capitals to do the actual voting for the Presi-
dent of these United States. The voting in
which the people at large participated on
November 6, while it was Of course an ex-
preston OF their will, was only mere factor
of the real balloting performed on Monday.
The labors of the electors of the various
States are not generally understood says the
New York Sun. At Albany, Tor instance,
the thirty six Republican electors will meet,
and after thoroughly examining the tabu-
lated lists, will cast their ballots and then
tary OF State. This done they will vote for
some distinguished citizen of the State, who
will be commissioned q messenger to the
Electoral College.
To his care, within a few days. will be
committed sealed package containing the
results of the electors work, together with
duplicate lists prepared by the Secretary OF
State, properly signed and sealed, and he
will then proceed to Washington and for
the Senate At the same time another set Of
documents, sealed and signed, will be sent by
mail to the President of the Senate.
To be messenger Of a Board Of Electors
is considered almost as much of an honor as
to be chosen Governor. The fortunate in
diyidual not only has bis expenses paid, but
his name is engrossed on the archives Of the
State.
1t has happened in many Of the States in
times past that the Secretary of State has
forgotten to provide for ballot box, and Of
a necessity a hat belonging to one of the cleo
tors has been used. Thereafter the possessor
of the tile guarded it most religiously, not
even daring to wear it lest it should be lost
or damaged, and at his death bsqueathing it
as an heirloom to his descendants.
The question has often arisen: "Has any
elector ever cast his ballot contrary to the
pledge of honor which he gave when he was
chosen.' There has not been an instance Of
this kind since 1796, yet by the method of bal
loting in vogue there is absolutely nothing to
prevent an elector from depositing ballot
contrary to that expected from him.
There Is no open declaration Of his prefer
ence; he deposits written or printed slip,
as the case Iaay be, and should another name
from that expected to be cast it would be diff
cult to ascertain who it was had forgotten or
disr9garded his pledge.
much surprise among statesmen of other
countries ever since the nineteenth century
began, and more particularly since the de-
velopment Of The country became the wonder
of the age In this connection it is safe to
say that Benjamin Harrison will receive all
of the votes 10 which he is entitled, namely,
233, and that Grover Cleveland will follow in
second place with 1853.

PASSENGERS ROASTED ALIVE
A Green Brakeman's Error Causes
Fatal Collision.

The worst wreck in the history Of the New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio road occurred
at three O'Clock in the morning one and
half miles east of Tallmadge, Ohio. The
east bound fast express, No. :, consisting CT
baggage and express car, smoker, coach and
two sleepers, crashed into west bound extra
freight. No 81. Eight persons were killed
and dozen injured.
The long freight train, in ascending
heavy grade just east Of Tallnadge, broke
N two. The first part was taken to siding
near Tailmadge and Engineer Robinson. be-
fore starting back for the other part OF the
train, put out as fagman his fireman, named
Brady, an old railroader, fearing to, trust to
the brakeman, who was a green hand A
flagman had also been sent back as warm
ing to trains from the east. The engineer
then went back and coupled on to the re-
mainder of the freight train to pull it also to
siding. He then gave signal OF four long
whistles and one short whistle to call IN the
rear fagman. The hagman near Tallmadge
thought he heard four long whistles without
the short one-the signal Tor both flagmen to
return. Putting out his lantern, he started
back, thus leaving no guard toward the west.
Just as he got to the freight engine, the
walk taking him about fifteen minutes, the
fast express dashed round the sharp curve
into the cut from which the freight was JUST
starting and then came the awful crash.
Engineer Huntington reversed his engine and
put on the air brakes, and then had no
time to Jump. He and his fireman were
crushed to death. The baggage car, smoker
and ladies' coach we're telescoped. The smok-
ing car and the passenger car next to it took
fire, and then followed the slow roast.

ali was the fate of little girl travelling
alone, ticketed from the far West to Cherry
Creek, n. Y. She was not injured by the
crash, but seat caught her fast and held her
as in a vice, and then the flames crept up and
slowly burned her to death. 8,
There we're seven Cinnamon in the smoker,
and three were pinned in the wreck and con-
sumed by the fire, which reduced to emoers
the smoker and the passenger car next to It..
The little girl and the Cinnamon
were pinned down by seats, and their
shrieks rent the air until the smoke
stiffled them. The passengers who es.
capped, and the farmers, who were quick.
ly on the scene, worked heroically, but
were beaten back by the fierce heat All

coaches was heap of bones and burnt teSn.

freight cars and an oil car took fire and burned

about them. Alawyer who was going East
