Death of Joseph Campben's Daughter.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, the younger child of Joseph Campbell, girl about years of age, died of scarlet fever. Needless to say that everything possible was done for the little sufferer, but the disease was of too malignant a type to be stayed. She was child of unusual beauty and intelligence, and to the parents her death is indeed blow.
 The time for the funeral is not definitely set, but it is expected to take place this afternoon. Father JOuvenceau, who will officiate, has been telegraphed for to Tucson, where he has been for several daYs.

THANKFULNESS

Thank God for life! Life is not sweet always,
Hands may be heavy laden, hearts CAREFUL
UnWelcome nights follow unwelcome days;
And dreams divine end in awakening d ull,
Still its li:e and lite is cause for praise;
This ache, this restlessness, this quivering
string.
Prove no torpid and inanimate thing
Prove me of Him who is OF life the spring.
am alive and that is beautiful.
Thank God for love; though love may hurt
and wound,
Though set with sharpest thorns it's rose
must be;
Roses not Of winter, all attuned
* ust be the earth filed with soft air and
- free
And warm ere dawns the rose upon the trees,
Fresh currents through my pulses run.
My heart has tasted summer, tasted sun;
And thank thee Lord although not one
OF the many roses bloom for me-
Thank God for death bright thing with
dreamy name;
We wrong with mournful flowers her pure
still brow.
We heap her with reproaches and with blame;
Her sweetness and fitness disallow.
Questioning bitterly on the way and how;
But calmly mid our clamor and surmise
She touches each in turn, and each grows wise,
Taught by the light of her mysteriou eyes
shall be G lad and l am thank tul now.

A Tender Association,
From the Providence Telegram.

From the Providence Telegram g..
At his lecture on ministers and
Preaching" last night, DR.. Andrews
told some amusing stories of minis
ters OF the past. One about DR.. Jeter
was especially good. Jeter, when he
became worked up in preaching, and
was the most eloquent, had a habit
of putting a whine into his voice
which as near resembled tears in the
voice as possible. Once when the
tears were especially strong during a
sermon the good old Doctor noticed
a lady weeping in the audience. AS
soon as the services were over he
FASTENED to overtake the lady and
ask her what part of the divine word
touched her to tears
''Twasn't that" said the lady.
Have you had some deep affection
in losing family friends?" said the
Doctor.
"Twasn't that NEITHER" said the
lady. ....
"Well, what was it," asked the Doc
tor.
"Well, Doctor, we had a mule and
it was good one, too. We all liked
that mule, and he died; and while you
were preaching your voice sounded
so much like that mules that
couldn't help crying"

The Days Advice.

A friend recently wrote to me thu
for thirty-fve years he was troubled
with insomnia, and for ten years
thought himself lucky to get twenty
minutes sleep in twenty-four hours,
and thinks that hot water has cured
him. He says: Il took hot water
a pint, comfortably hot-one good
hour before each of my meals and
one the last thing at night, natur-
ally, unmixed with anything else.
The very first night | slept for three
hours on end, turned round and
slept again until morning. l have
faithfully and regularly continued
the hot water and have never had
one bad night since. Pain gradu-
ally lessened and went, the shattered
nerves became calm and strong, and
instead of each night being one long
misery spent in wearying for morn
ing, they are all too short for the
sweet, refreshing sleep I now enjoy
Dr.. Day.

Russian Military Discipline.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
1t is a curious fact in connection
with the Russian army-that while
it had often met defeat, it was never
routed; though beaten and driven
from the field, it never became panic
stricken mob. This conference under
defeat was due to it's splendid dis
cipline and rigid obedience to orders,
which were paramount to all other
considerations. A Russian force was
moving to the attack of a position
that was impregnable. A superior
officer asked the commander where
he was going. ssTo attack the DO
sition in 'front.' he answered. But
it is folly-madness." 81 know it.

Didn't Getthe Salvage.

Two years ago 800 whales we're
driven ashore on the estate of Mr..
Bruce at Sunblrg, in the north Of
Scotland, and they were killed and
sold. Mr.. Bruce at once demanded
thata. third ofthe value of the whales
(e4o0) should be paid to him, in ac-
cordance with an ancientcustom, by
which the laird of this property
was entitled to claim "thirds" of all
salvage. The sheriff opposed the
claim on the ground that Mr.. Bruce
had taken no part in the capturing
of the whales. and the court of SEES
sions has upheld the sheriff. The
Judge intimated that although the
landlords demand was justified by
precedent, it was based neither. upon.
principal nor upon justice, and it
was time for a new rule. .

A Texan Snake Story.

Bud Brown who resides q short
distance north of this place, had an
exciting experience a few evenings
ago with a huge serpent. Bud, it APP
pears, was on his way home along
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas track,
from this burg, and had just reached
a point about one and a half miles
north Of Holland, when he heard a
queer blowing sound similar to that
made by alligators in the dead Of
night. He looked behind him, and,
shure enough, saw a sight that for
the time being rooted him to The
earth.
About 100 yards in the rear he
could plainly discern snake of mon
strons size The reptile approached
him at a rapid rate, coming so close
to him, in fact, that Bud, with a
shrek of terror, jumped from high
trestle, landing in the soft sand be-
low, escaping, fortunately, with only
a sprained ankle. Luckily for Bud,
some cattle were grazing along the
track, which the big snake at once
attacked, making away in jiffy with
a calf and disappearing in the tim
Der.
Bud, who is worthy citizen and
temperate withal. estimates the
length of the snake at ~ feet, with a
body as thick as a telegraph pole. He
also AYERS that the monster was
adorned with two formidable fangs,
and, in addition, was equipped with
horns about a foot and a half in
length. ...-~ 10
Recently farmers in this vicinity
have missed calves, sheep, and pigs,
and it is now thought, and with
some reason, too, that they have
been gobbled by the horned monster.
A posse of brave young men, we'll
armed, has been organized, and they
will scour the woods until they make
mince-meat ofthe thieving big snake.

The Land of Ducks.

There are more ducks in the Chi

in all the world outside of it. They
are kept by the celestials on every
farm, on the private roads, on the

and on all the lakes, ponds, rivers,
streams and brooks in the country.
Every Chinese boat also contains a
batch of them There are innumer-
able Matching establishments all
through the Empire, many OF which
are said to turn out about sc, 900
young ducks every year. Sailed and

How Abraham Lincoln Made a
Thousand Dollars.

~ IN AoCSlANA A~oAlS~1 %
Mr.. Waite Talcott, sitting in the
great, old-fashioned room of his old
fashioned home, told the writer ar
interesting story about how Mr. Lin
coin got the money which enabled
him to stump the State with Douglas.
It was in the days Of the rivalry
between Cyrus 81. Mccormick and
John 81. Nanny in the reaper bust
ness. Mccormick claimed that John
Fl. Nanny had infringed upon his
patent. Mr.. Talcott, Jesse Blinn
and Ralph Henderson were partners
in the Nanny concern. Mccormick
sued the Nanny company in the
United States District Court in Gin
cinnati, Justice McLain presiding.
A Mr.. Watson, who had gone out
from Rockford, was a Patent Office
official in Washington. The Nanny
concern sent for him and he examined
the papers. After having done so he
said to Mr.. Nanny:
"There is one lawyer in this coun-
try whom we must not have against
u.s.
Mr.. Nanny asked who the man was.
Mr.. Watson replied: "Abraham
Lincoln
''Then send him a retainer. Here
is 81, 0OO," said Mr.. Nanny.
The money was sent. The case
was tried aud appealed to the Su-
preme Court. There Edwin NJ, Stan
ton was employed to assist Mr.. Wat
son. Reverdy Johnson was one of
the opposing counsel. He met Mr..
Lincoln and asked him if he was 60
ing to make a speech in the case. Mr..
Lincoln replied in the negative.
Mr. Johnson said: GA man ofyour
reputation as a lawyer should not
keep quiet in a case like this
Mr.. Lincoln replied, with a twinkle
in his eye: F'That's what they are
paying me for-to keep quiet.''
The case was argued. Three
months after a decision was given.
1t was against the plaintiff. The de-
cision reached Rockford one day be,
fore the death of John II. Nanny.
The costs Of that suit were $75, 900.
When Mr.. Lincoln, as President,
felt the need of a man of iron for Sec
retary of War, he rendered the port
folio to Mr.. Stanton. Mr.. Stanton
came to Washington and had a con-:
sultation with Mr., Watson. At that,
time Mr.. Stanton knew very little
about Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Stanton
asked Mr.. Watson if he thought Mr..
| Lincoln had the backbone to 90
through the ordeal. Mr.. Watson
said he had more backbone than his
party. Mr.. Stanton replied:
81 will accept the place on one con-
dition-that you are made, assist
ant" -- u. s.- s..,
This was reported to Mr.. Lincoln
and the arrangement was made. Mr..
Lincoln knew men at first sight bet,
ter than Stanton. He had seen STAN
ton in the lawsuit and had "sized

VS.. the Nanny Reaper and Moving
Company threw these three men to,

1t is a Good Plan to Keep Books.

been paid, and Mr.. Webster told him to
call in a few days and he would attend

a quantity Of bills and see ifhe could find
a receipt for the amount To his surprise
two receipts were found, indicating that
the bill had been paid twice.
In due time Mr. N-eall Just at the
dinner hour, as it ehanced, and Mr..
Webster invited him in to dine. After
the meai was over they proceeded to the
business in hand.

How She outwitted Them.


In q semi-fashionable boarding-hOuse
-on the hill, in Washington, resides, as
a guest, maiden lady, cultured and elev-
er. Like some other nice people, she Is
rather sensitive on the subject Of age
quizzing among the thicker-skinned
boarders. The blank left at the house
by the enumerator was spread out on the
parlOr table and the inmates requested 10
FIJI in the various spaces as to their vsri-
Gus antecedents, etc. Secrecy was of
course out Of the question, and consider
able curiosity was evinced as to how our
ancient maiden would treat the query as
to her age.
When her turn came she was equal to
the emergency. She quietly filed in all
the desired information. and when the
esger eyes were at the age column
they found they could make nothing Of
it. Everything else was written out in a
neat, clear hand. but here they were
siumped.
Why, Miss Arabella," said the land
lady, smiling sweetIy, 81 am afraid that
the enumerator will not be able to make
this Ou;.7 pointing to the item in ques-
ton.
That? ?" said Miss ArabeIla. placidly.
Oh, that IS written in German, you
know. and if he can't read It, they can at
the Office, Of course"
And she calmly retired, well aware
that not soul in the house but herself
understood word Of German.

The rubber tip a. the end of lead pen

A large fortune has been reaped By a
miner who invented a metal rivet or
eyelet at each end Of the mouth Of coat
or trousers pockets 70 resist the strain
caused by the carriage Of pieces of ore or
heavy tools.
In q recent legal action it tTanspired in
evidence that the inventor Of the metal
plates used 10 protect soles and heels
from water sold upward Of 100000
plates in 1879, and in 1887 the number
reached l4s.0O0.00O, producing realized
profits Of gl $4,000.
As large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to hang
over gas to protect ceilings from being
blackened, and scarcely less lucrative
patent was that for simply putting emery
powder on cloth.
Frequently time and circumstances are
wanted before an invention IL appre
ciated, but it viii be seen that patience
is we'll rewarded, for the inventor Of the
roller skate made over 81 900 600, not
withstanding the fact that his patent
had nearly expired before its value was
ascertained.
The gimlet pointed screw has produced
more wealth than most silver mines, and

ting copper tips on ellildren's shoes IS as

added thousands Of trihing but useful ar

derived or for which large sums have
been paid.
Few inventions pay better than popu-
lar patented toys. A clergyman realized
5000 a week by the invention Of a
strange little plaything, to be seen for a
long time in every toy shop window and
even in the streets Of London.
That fayorite American toy, "return

tached-yielded the pstentee an inN0ue
equal to $4,000 a year and an ineone {
no less than $4,000 per annum to the in

John Gilpin,7 was incredibly large for
many years, and a very ingenious toy,
