No one passes through the journey
Of this life, though it be but of mod
crate length, without losing kindred
and friends by death, whom he ten
derby loved when living, and eontin-
ues to love long after they arc gone,
II one lives to an advanced age be
usually has far greater number in
the next world than he has in this.
Death sweeps them away and some.
times he is left almost alone in re.
spect to the cherished companion
ship Of his earthly life.
To these loved ones dead he can
render no service, and so far as we
know from them receive none. He
may think of them but he can do
nothing for them. They are entirely
beyond the reach of his action. He
can speak no kind word to them, and
give them no good advice. He can
make no sacrifice to promote their
joys.
The lesson to be learnd from this,
is, that we should act toward our
kindred and friends while they are
living as, we, if surviving them, will
wish we had acted when they are
sleeping in the cold grave. Let the
husband and wife so treat each 9TH
er while they hold this relation, that
the death Of neither will give the
other any occasion for regret on ac-
count of misconduct. Let parents
and children, brothers and sisters,
friends, intimately associated, and
indeed, all men observe the same rule,
and this certainly would be much
happier world. The rule would les
sen the number Of family quarrels
and make life more serene and
more heaven like. Gentleness
and kindness would be the law
of humane action. We once heard
a man who had just lost a most
excellent helpmeet say: II am now
sincerely sorry for every unkind word
I ever spoke to that woman. ] wish
/ could tell her SO, and in some way
receive from her the expression of hei
forgiveness. ] would give twenty
thousand dollars if / could thereby
blot out all such words"
We have no doubt that just this
sort of feeling has penetrated many
bosom. The way to avoid this il
to act towards others so that there
will be no occasion for it when they
are dead. This is caution to the
living. The journey of life in some
respects is unpleasant at times, YET
the pleasant things in this journey
far out weigh the things that are
gloomy and discouraging. Young
men who are just starting upon this
journey will find many conflicts But
aim high, press onward and upward
and by and by you will reach the
goal. Young men Who wish to leave
au example behind them when gone
must be good, sober, honest and kind
to all. JAMES A. SELBY,
Westminster, Md, Feb. IA.

White Cap Deviltry in the Anthracite
Coal Region.

ALLENTOWN Pa, Feb. lS--Dread OF
visit from White Caps has driven
August Huydeckc crazy. He is a
German, and occupied small shan
ty near slate quarry in which he
worked at Walnutport
Since the alleged White Caps have
been sending out notices in this sec
tion, Huydecke has talked Of MOTH
ing else, and he was told in jest that
he would soon be visited by them.
Wednesday, in his wild frenzy, be
ran across the river to Slatington,
telling thrilling tale Of how White
Caps were after him.
A constable took Huydecke in
charge and justice of the peace
sent the poor man to Jail here. The
warden put him in a cell where he
continually muttcred to himself and
walked the floor. Late last night q
peculiar noise in the cell aroused the
night Waterman and warden, who
investigated, On opening the door
it was seen the crazy man had been
trying to batter out his brains
against the wall. That he had been
engaged at this terrible task for some
time was evident from the blood
smeared appearance of The man and
the cell. Blood had spurted over the
ceiling and the walls presented a
CHASTITY sight.
The man was bound and a physi-
clan summoned He found the whole
muscular tissues over the top of the
head confused and lacerated. Huy-
decke had tried to cut his throat
with an old table knife. 1t is be-
lieved his skull is fractured and that
he cannot recover.

characteristics of Walking.


Negroes all toe out; Indians all toe
in.
Women, if healthy, toe out; most
men toe in little, at least with the
right foot. Notice yourself and see.
The passionate and strong wear
the inner or outer rim Of the heel off,
but men more frequently the ont and
women the inner.
A man going placidly along, his
nose little elevated, alert, with his
hat tipped, straight back, is gener-
ally found to be observant; if a WON
an, self conscious and proud.
If we see man walking, and no.
tice furtive side glances, if his walk
is shutting OF sly, we will have de-
ceitful wretch; or, if better educated,
a somewhat cunning man, or better
still, man secretive and observant.
If in a woman, the base is vanity or
love Of praise.
The clearing of a prince means
nothing more physically, than fine
ly formed atheletic man using all his
locomotive muscles naturally, but the
regal carriage of queen means
more than the eloquent curves of the
back, neck, and the beautiful poise Of
the head.

EMBRACED THE pEFAuLTER.


ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 14.-The story
of the disappearance of w. W. Bas-
sey and his return to the city is a
curious commentary on the manner
in which crime is viewed in this
city.
DR.. N. J. Bussey is the president
Of the Eagle and Phoenix Cotton
Mills, and Mr.. Young is president Of
the saving bank connected with the
institution. The corporation is one
of the wealthiest in the Union, both
in its corporate assets and the wealth
Of its individual stockholders. 1t
has been the growth of years, and
the men of the South who organized
it are dead or practically retired
cotton lords, while their sons are
really running the business.
The Busseys and the Youngs have
always been at the head of their set
of Columbus society. w. w. Bus
sey, the son of DR.. N. J. Bussey. has
always been given to sports. He
was great patron Of base ball and
has held his own in many a tough
game. He is lavish with his money.
AS the teller of the savings bank he
was supposed to attend to his bust
ness, but lately it was noticed that
he was growing strange in his con-
duct The directors were to have
held their annual meeting on Wed
nesday last, and the usual count OF
funds was then to be taken On
Monday afternoon Teller Bussey
bought three gallons ofwhisky, hail
ed a hack, and was going out, as he
said, for an afternoons hunt. That
afternoon an employee in the bank
read an unaddressed note, evidently
intended for Henry Bussey, in which
the teller said he had done wrong and
did not want to be pursued. An
examination Of the funds revealed
shortage Of SIG, 600.
Henry Bussey got clew that his
brother bad taken the dirt road
which led to Eufala, and succeeded
in getting into that town justin time
to meet the fugitive driving in, weary
and jaded, with his three gallons of
whisky reduced to half gallon.
The fugitive teller was brought back
to this city on Wednesday, when q
large crowd met him at the station
and he was taken direct to the meet
ing of the bank directors. AS soon
as he entered President Young met
him with warm embrace, throwing
his arms around him. Then Bussey,
addressing the directors, said he was
defaulter and that his shortage
was not $4,000 but $4,000.
"Whft have you done with it?'' he
was asked.
"Squandcred it." he answered
without finching. Il have $4,000
worth of property which will make
over to-day and tomorrow, will set
tie the rest"
He was then permitted to go home
accompanied by an officer. 1t is I'M
derstood that the money with which
he made good the shortage was adj
vanced by his father and brother,
as they both said they would do SO.
This ends the case with Bussey and
no charge will ever be preferred

Why Kentucky Editor Couldn't Have
a Merry Christmas.

When a man is trying to run a
country paper with an army press
and a hatful Of type and seventeen
paid up subscriptions; when he is
compelled to skirmish around on the
outside of his business to make a
living, by begging, borrowing or
stealing; when he is out Of heart,
hope, friends and money; in debt, in
love, in the middle of railroad
rumpus that will not come to a fo-
Gus; when he has nothing in the
past but remembrance of failure
and nothing in the failure but Wis
ions of the poor house-well, under
such circumstances, he is in con
founded poor shape to assume yir-
tue that be hasn't got, or joy he
doesn't feel.

TIME 70 BAR THE DOOR
AGAINST OFFICE.sEEKIING VS.
ITORS.
Harrison's Family and Friends Think q
Stop Should BE Put to the Petty
Annoyances to Which He Is
Subjected in the Clam
or For Position.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Feb. 15.-There
is no cessation in the stream of Wis
itors that almost constantly move in
and out Of the doors of the Harrison
residence, utterly regardless of the
hours which Gen. Harrison some two
months ago fixed as the daily allow
ance of time which his business JUS
titled him to give to the public
that his wishes, in thisregarl have
not been observed goes without say
ing, but that he is practically per-
hitting himself to be imposed upon
by the thoughtless and curious pub
lie is matter not generally known
or appreciated except by his more
intimate friends. No complaints of
this character emanate from General
Harrison personally, but his friends
and members of his household think
that the demands upon the Generals
time should from this date be limit
ed to the reception Of those having
actual business with him.
The thousands of Office seeking
letters and applications that have
poured in upon him since his election
have eDgrossed considerable Of his
time and about all of Private Score
tary lIalford's. But the most serious
cncroachment upon his time bias
been inflicted by the personal vista
ton Of those seeking something
themselves or urging the claims of
their favorite Cabinet candidates.
There is reason TO believe that the
President-elcct has about concluded
the task Of selecting his Cabinet.
Whether al. of the favored eight
have received their formal invitation
is not known, but TINT he ia now
turning his attention more especial
to his inaugural address is the opin-
ion Of his most intimate friends.
Mrs. Harrison announces that
Wednesday, the 18th inst, will be
her last reception day before depart
ing for Washington. Mr.. and Mrs
Mckee, with their children, Benja-
min and Mary, will accompany the
President-e elect and Mrs. Harrison
to the capital Russell b. Harrison
and his wife and baby daughter will
also comprise part Of the Presi-
Dental family, as will Mrs. Isabella
Dimmick, the niece OF Mrs. Harri-
son, who is at present in Dresden.
Nothing has developed to-day
about the Cabinet. Gen. Harrison's
visitors today were from widely diff
ferent sections, Massachusetts,
Washington Territory and New
Mexico being represented. Dele
gate elect John b. Allen. of Walla-
Walla, w. T., was accompanied in
bis call by the Hon. Mr.. Butler, of
this city, and Judge Gould, of Del
phi. Other visitors were Maj A. J.
Wendell, of Newark, N. j., accom-
panied by A. E. Nichols, of Boston;
S. M. Randolph, of Chicago; Ballard
Smith, of New York, and delega
tion OF gentlemen, members of the
City Council of st. Louis.
Two prominent New Workers sue
ceeded in holding conference with
Gen. Harrison last Saturday and
getting out Of the city unobscrved.
They prove to have been the Hon. E.
p Dusant, Of Albany, and State
Senator Walker. Beyond the fact
that they are both ardent advocates
of Warner Miller for the Cabinet
nothing is known as to the probable
nature of their secret mission.

POUR NEW STATES.
| A Suggestion Is to How the PuzzIe May
be Worked Out.

New York Sun: The prospect is
now good foy thu, admission Of four
new States during the current year.
New Mexico will wait after getting
a declaration in its favor from the
House. Delegate Josephs wants the
House to go on record as fave ring
the admission Of bis Territory but
he does not wish the Omnibus bill
to be defeated for the sake of New
Mexico. The House, therefore, will
by yea-and nay vote insist on the
admission Of that Territory. The
Senate conferrees will insist on lcav-
ing it out, and then the House con-
ferrees will say that the responsible
ity is on the Republicans, and they
will throw Montezuma overheard to
save the rest of the Territories. On
the question of new vote in Dakota
on the division question the House
confcrrees consent that a majority Of
the whole Territory shall be suffl-
cient, instead Of demanding MAORI
ty for division in a vote of the two
parts. In consideration of this con-
cession and the concession on New
Mexico the House conferrees believe
the Senate conferrees will consent to
have the division question again sub
mitted to the people. The Senate
conferrees insist that Montana.
Washington and North Dakota shall
come into the Union in the same way,
either by special acts or by Presiden-
tial proclamation, and as North Da-
kota has never adopted constitu-
tion the House conferrees object to
its admission by proclamation, and
special acts at the next session of
Congress will be agreed upon. The
other points Of difference can be east
ly adjusted between the two Houses,
and South Dakota will come in by
proclamation nextsummer and North
Dakota, Montana and Washington
next December by acts of Congress
