A HindoO Prophecy.

A strange story is now being cir
culatc u in India about Il gold plate
with inscriptions upon it in the Tamil
and Telegu languages. which is said to
have fallen from heaven. The Htndoo
Patriot gives the following version of it:
"A plate made of the finest gold.
containing the following inscription,
fell from heaven and was found in the
temple grounds at Benares by the per-
son who saw it fall. The inscription is
as follows:
".From the month of June, 1890, God
himself will rule as Emperor of Hin
doostan, incarnating himself in human
form. From that time forward there
will be justice all over the world, and
the munis [sagesl will be worshiped
by the people.
".All the diseases of men will be
cured. dogs will walk and talk as men
do. aud man. whose life is now estab-
lished at 20 years, will in the future
have it extended to 125 years.

Making a Man Crawfish.

When five or six men get together
and begin to tell stories there is always
more or less lying done, especially if
they are only casual acquaintances.
Going down on the boat from Natchez
there were three or four rings" which
hung together, and each of us told
some pretty tall stories. There was .
man from Syracuse who laid himself
out for a whopper, and when the rest
OF us We're through he settled back and
said:
Gentlemen, the ship which was car
rying me to India was burned off the
island of Borneo. and | got away in o
boat with single sailor.
When was this?' asked native
Mississippian, who was taking a lot Of
mules down the river.
In 1888"
'.Exactly-go ahead"
1--WE had neither water nor pro.
visions in the boat said the man,
and after drifting for three days
wanted to draw lots to see who should
die. The sailor refused
His name?n asked the Mississip-
plan.
Foster, I believe
You are right go ahead
II suffered one day more, and then,
rs he slept, / killed him with my knife
and drank his blood. 1t saved my
life. Next day l was picked up by q
ship"
And you killed the man, did you2'
Il did,
And drank his blood?"
Yes
We'll, you are the man I've been
looking for these many years. That
sailor was my brother-my bic brother
the only brother l ever had!!'
MOI
~ eS, he was. Some of those who
got off in another boat saw him 90 of
with you and told me of it. Stranger,
the man who drinks my brothers blood
has got to dier'
But You must be mistaken. II
hardly think his name was Foster
''Oh. yes it was. Name was Foster
ship got fire-otf the island of Borneo
-drifted about in boat. It's all
straight, and now want satisfaction.
Have you got a bowie knife about
you?n
Look here. boys" said the Syra-
cuse man, as he caught his breath.
II m in box and have got to make
confession. | was lying about the adj
venture from start to finish"
Sure of it?n demanded the Missis-
sippian, while every body else laugh
ed.
Il know [ was"
Didn't kill my brother and drink
his blood?'
Certainly not"
We'll, then, that's all right, and rm
glad to hear it. I'm as humble as
lamb on ordinary matters, but when
it comes to killing my brother-the
only brother / ever had-why, who
wouldn't tight?"
We asked the Syracuse man to give
us something else, but he wouldn't do
it. He went off to his stateroom and
led bis head up with a towel.-M y

Johnson doubtless saw the

Two ways are open. Cure

Shock the system by an over

IN excellent trim; let us take drive
ont the Greensboro pike
Il am very sorry, Tom she said,
but cannot 60 with you this after
noon
she stopped breaking the flowers
as she spoke and looked at me half
shyly from under her lashes.
"'Why not, pray?' | asked, firing
up in moment. | fancied there was
something teasing in her tone.
II have other fish to fry she said
simply.
Il Shall never forget how she looked
as she stood there twirling the yellow
rose in her hand and bending down
her head till her little chin rested up
on her bare, white throat. Somehow
a yellow rose always brings back that
picture to me. l remember my first
impulse was to take her in my arms
and beg her to forgive me, but ere /
moved or spoke | heard the sound of
wheels on the gravel without, and,
turning. l saw young Wentworth drive
up. Without 4 word | turned and left
the house. As ] entered the village I
met a little baud Of troops starting for
L
out and had enlisted. We left that
night. | was accountable to no one
for nv actions, and no one knew OF
nv whereabouts.
Nv hat ] suffered in the war it mat
tiers not. That cash across the little
case you have shows how near | came
being pricked by Mexican sword.
When my term of enlistment was ont
| was more than willing to return
home. and lost no time in doing SO.
AS left the train and walked up the
village street | saw a funeral process
sion just turning the brow of the hill.
Henry Wentworth and his young wife
were getting in the carriage as | passed
the gate. He had married. he told me,
the week after | left, a girl from the
south. They both seemed very sad
and in hurry to be gone.
Whose is the funeral?" l asked as
l turned to 90.
".Alice's,' he answered
MY God! 1t was my Alice, and l
had gone and left her."
The old man pressed his head upon
his hands and the tears trickled down
his Sunkeu checks. Bob did not speak;
his face was hidden too.
After that" the old man said by
and-by, Il spent the next twenty-five
years of my life in prowling about the
west, and it was only when / became
an old man, when | had nothing left
but Alice's grave over there on the
hillside, that came back home to rest.
But here am l." he said with sudden
start, keeping you up listening to my
chatter when you ought to be in bed,
getting ready for your trip tomorrow
The young man sprang to his feet.
Just l O'clock" he said. Il can yet
catch the 1:30 train to town. l shall
not 90 west at all, Cousin Tom, and il
my Alice will forgive me you may
come to our wedding next month. -

HowelIs' Play in Real Life.

/ don't believe there are twenty-five
elevators in all London, says Paris
letter to the Philadelphia Press. Many
of the large hotels, like the Temple,
expect guests to walk up four stories.
On the other hand, in Paris the ele-
vator is becoming epidemic. But such
elevators! They are hydraulic ele-
vators, and are run without an elevator
boy. As water is dear in Paris they
run at snails pace. Sometimes they
stand still between two floors and re-
fuse to move for an hour. They were
laughing over in the American quarter
by the Arch of Triumph recently and
when | asked them what it was all
about they said:
why. haven't you heard? It's too
good. Several American young ladies
and their escorts came home from
Minister Reid's reception last night,
got stuck in the elevator between the
third and fourth floors, and staid there
until daylight"
but why didn't the elevator boy
come to their rescue?n
1T was one of those French elevators
that the passenger adjusts himself, and
they were ali ignorant as to how to
stop or go aheni."

For Loves Sweet Sake.

] count his service worthy. just, and true.
Whose creed Of old the MASTERPIECES spake
Who fought with sword and shield the wid'
world through
For loves sweet sake.
Whose trust in her to whom his trust was due
No doubt could dim, no crafty falsehoor
shake:
In traitors blood he pledged his faith anew
For loves sweet sake.
Whose noble thirst for honor and for fame
No poisoned draught of worldly lust coulo
slake:
Mid clash and strife he won q deathless name
For loves sweet sake.
Dear, am ] cruel. that with ruthless hand
In shattered fragments thus your gods
break?
That something nobler from you demand
For loves sweet sake?
Let dark oblivion seal the fruitless past;
Redeem the present; swiftly overtake
The 1ieeting promise of the future vast
For loves sweet sake.
Win strength and victory; firmly take youI
stand:
Beyond this night what heavenly morning
break,
When wrong lies vanquished by your loya
For loves sweet sake.

Mrs. Graham, the tenth victum OF
the Clinton storm has died. The
other injured ones are all getting we'll
Speaking of the after incidents the
Clinton Democrat says:-"ArthuT
Nance was the Paul Revere of the
occasion. As soon as he picked him
self up from the ruins he flew up town
shouting for help. Needless of the
darkness and rain he ran to spread
the alarm, and at last breathless and
exhausted, was taken in by friendly
hands and cared for. He was utterly
unconscious of his own wounds, and
to him, more than any other one per
son, is due the promptness with which
assistance was brought to the suf-
ferers."

Professor w. G. KIroHIN, Phi. d.
Cambridge, has written picturesque
and vivid historical novel entitled ''The
Fall OF the Christians" which is run
ming in the Neto York Ledger. The
religious and the historical elements
are dominant in the work, and in
narrating the overthrow of Christiani-
ty in Japan in the seventeenth century,
the author has entered a field fresh in
English literature. "The Fall of the
Christians" is written by scholar who
has made a specially of Japanese
history, and is based ON manuscripts
which were discovered by the author,
while he was occupying distinguish
ed scholastic position in Japan.
In the opening chapters Of this
story the terrible struggle between the
Christians and their implacable foes,
the Japanese Pagans, in the distant
and unfamiliar day, when England,
Holland and Portugal competed for
supremacy in commerce with Japan,
is described with clearness, power,
and picturesque skill. In fact the
author has made the most of fresh
theme and fresh setting.

The jackson investigation is going

sational has been developed. The
friends of the Governor will attempt
to show that Messrs. Kohn and Par
sons made Judge jackson drunk and
secured Mazzoni's release while the
judge was in that condition. This
case is the main basis Of the Cover
nor's charges of improper conduct on
the part of Judge jackson. Inspector
Macy testified that during the last
year the Governor RENTED S2,050 in
fines and Judge Jackson set aside
81, 030 in that court. In nine years
records only eight cases were found OF
Judgment set aside, all of them in
the past year. The investigation will

ment was tabled. 1t was all done SO

reconsider a vote to table was ruled to
be out of order, and that's the end of
the anti-cigarette bill.
