A Man with a Charmed Life.

Lawrence Ling, n young man
who resides at Jacksonville, Ind,
has had Mt least three or four escapes
from death Of a most remarkable ma
ture. When a lad he fell off the Lou
isville bridge, and despite the terrific
tumble he did not receive n scratch
or bruise, his only damage being a
thorough wetting. When II years
old Long married the daughter Of n
neighbor secretly. On hearing the
news, the girls father loaded n shot
gun and started out to kill his son.
in-law. They met and the old man
emplied both barrels at the boy, but
failed 10 hit him. Longs latest al
venture occurred at Louisville on
the night OF the recent tornado. He
was in the Inflated Falls City hall
when II was struck by the whirlvind
and went down with the wreck.
He promptly crawled out Of the ru-
ins and found that the only injury
he had sustained was a small scratch

the man is dead. It is In the hope
that the soul may return that APP
peals to the dead TO come back are
always made. and that the corpse is
kept until the signs Of corruption
show that the soul is gone forever.
The difference, then, between the
results Of departure Is clear.
When the Ira departs there
is no direct and immediate
result, though the departure
may lead to possession but when
the soul departs, the direct and I'M
mediate result is suspended ANNA
ton or deaIh. The Ewi-speaking
peoples Of the Slave Coast-the
Awunas, Krepis, Dahomis, Mains,
etc.-hold exactly similar views;the
third element, or indwelling spirit
of man, being by them termed n
tidro. The Ga-speaki2g peoples OF
the eastern districts Of the Gold
Coast have modified the more
original conception, and believe
that each individual has two Etd
(the Ga-term for kTd), a male and
a female, the former being OF n
bad disposition and the latter OF
good. The negroes Of the Gold and
Slave Coasts, like every other peO-
Ile low IN the stage Of civilization,
Lelieve that inanimate, a. well rs
animate, objects have souls or
ghosts-a belief which is proved
by the practice Of burying arms,
implements, utensils, ETC., for the
use Of the dead in Dead-land.
The soul or ghost Of the dead hunter
goes 10 Dead-land, and there con-
tinues the former pursuit Ofthe man,
using the souls or ghosts OF the
weapons buried with him; but the
negroes havegOne beyond this, and,
just as they believe man to possess a
third element, or indwelling spirit,
so do they believe that every natural
object, everything not made by
human hands, has, in addition to
its soul or ghost, n third element or
spiritual individuality. They hold
that just rs, when the man dies, the
kTo Of the man enters n newborn
child, and the soul, or ghost-man,
goes to Deadlsnd; so. when the tree
dies, the FRA, so to speak, Of thetree
enters a Seeding, and the ghost-tree
goes to join the ranks ofJhe shadowy
forest in Dead-land. And il i these

NAsHAU, y. H., April l7.-As
was expected, strike Of the EN-.
ployes Of Jackson 4 Company's mill,
occurred this morning, weavers and
spinners all going out. The mills
are shut down anu eight hundred
hands out. The demand for an in,
crease OF wages Is the cause.
CHICAGO, April lT.-Forty en-
ployes of the Chicago gislight com.
pany struck last night against n re-
duction OF wages. They are en-
deavoring to organize all the gas
workers in the city. IL is barely
possible there will be a general
strike, and that the city will be left
in darkness.
The strikers who only number
seven, have been unable 20 get the CO.
operation ,of the other men, so Il is
thought Il will not amount to any
thing.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE striking
carpenters; to the number Of three
thousand, paraded through the prin-

crowds gathered along the route.
Occasional cheers Of sympathy greet

PRESS COMMENT on THE IDAHO
CONSTITUTION.

THE New York Tribune has the
following in reference TO the passage
by the House OF the Idaho bill:
"our friends the enemy are by no
means so eager as they lately pro-
iessed to be in regard 70 a judicial de-
cision on tho right OF the Speaker Of
the House OF Representatives to de
clare that members who are visibIy
and Enthusiastically present are actually
and legally present. In fact. it looks
now as il their solicitude in the mater
had completely ebbed away, and that,
in particular, their avowed determina-
ton to make a test Of the vote on the
Idaho bin was only trick 10 conceal
their real friendship for the Aformons.
The Republicans. as we have said be-
fore. have nothing to lose from an ap-
peal TO the supreme Court. and evil
IDENTIFY the Democrats are now con-
WINGED that they have nothing TO
gain-excep. their own confusion and
the ridicule Of the people,
The malice accompanying the
insinuation Of Democratic friend
ship for the ''Mormous'' is too PAL
pableto escape notice. as is The further
fact that the insinuation is made for
the purpose Of serving notice upon
Democratic members that IL they.
oppose the Idaho bill. utilization
with the "AIormons'' viii be charged
as their motive, however apparent
may be the fact that they object to
the measure FOR constitutional reas-
ous. Such a method Of intimida-
ton is infamous. The Netg York
Press adopts a similar strain in
speaking Of the minority report Of
the House commste, Of which Mr..
Springer was one Of the signers.
ignoring the vital constitutional
propositions upon which it was
based.
The st. Louis Republic shows
that it compartments the situation,
and the force Of some OF the points
made by Delegate Caire against
the bill. It says:
The test-oath clause Of the Idaho
constitution, for which every Rspub-
lican in both Houses Of Congress viii
vote, contains a remarkable declara-
ton Of absolute State sovereignty.
The clause disfranchises and renders
civiily Infamous Mormons and all
who teach or advise thst the laws OF
this State prescribing rules Of civil
conduct are not the supreme law Of
the State The intention OF this Is
merely to deny all right Of private
Judgment as against the action Of the
State legislature, and TO render i'm
possible among citizens Of the State
what is commonly called liberty Of
conscience, but the declaration is as
much bar against loyalty to the Con-
siitutiOn Of the United States as it is
against loyalty to conscience in mat
teis of religion 1t makes the legiSlat-
ing majority supreme and absolute"
Upon other features Of the matter
the Memphis AUaidncle treats inthe
following vigorous style: tfI

lean majority in the House was illus

Calling in Washington.

Very little Of the paying Of visits
10y people in high official life is
done in person. The President
makes no calls. The Viee-Presi-
dent does all Of his "callingo
through his private secretary, whose
chief duty il is TO ride around in n
coupe and leave the cards OF Mr..
and Mrs. Morton at the doors Of
houses where calls are due. The
members of the cabinet DO most Of
their calling" by mail. The men
whose duty II is TO 10 this ''prOxy"
calling, l am Informed, have any
thing but an easy time. Riding
about in n carriage all day is an at
Inactive occupation when viewed
from a distance. 1t loses many Of
its charms when il is practised day
after day, and nearly all Of its at
tractiveness when II is interspersed
by constant stOppages along the
route Of travel.
Some Of these deputy cabinet OFF,
GERS make filty and seventy-fve
calls day. They have many
amusing encounters, loE tneS N4ell
all parts Of the city and pay their
respects, or rather the respects OF
their superios, to people Of all
classes and conditions. The re er-
tions of the members of the cabinet
are open 10 all corners, and all sorts
OF people make the rounds on We'd
nesdays. IL is social obligation, 10
which all people in high official
life must conform, To return
all Of the calls that are made upon
them. So the deputy secretaries
spin around the city all day. driving
from cottage to palace, distributing
graceful bits OF pasteboard, which
the recipients may place on their
centre tables as a mute evidence 10
the aninitiated that the secretary Of
has called upon them. AT
the houses where receiving" has
been thoroughly systematized, the
colored man at the door gracefully
holds out his salver TO receive the
cards, and watches the rapid escape
Of the card bearer without surprise

bill admitting Idaho into the Union.
The Democratic minority offered an
amendment requiring the submission
Of. the constitution Of the candidate for
Statehood to vote OF the people, as
had been done in the case OF the Two
Dakotas, Montana and Washington.
II was rejected. Why Idaho should
be excepted from the rule was not
stated by any member who voted that
way. but the reason was patent. 1t
was feared that the people Of the Ter
ritory would reject the constitution
which had been fixed up by packed
convention in the interest Of the Re-
publican party. For brazen disregard
Of popular rights this is without par
allel, even in the record OF Tom Reeds
Rump Parliament The Democrats
RECLAIMED from voting on the final
passage OF the bill, thus breaking the
quorum, bat Reod drew his little PEN
Gil and made out the majority he
wanted. So another outrage has been
added 10 the Speakers malodorous
list, and Idaho becomes a State with
an insult TO her people staining the
first rage Of her history. Meanwhile
New Mexico and Arizona superior TO
Idaho in population and resources,
are refused admission bccarse they
happen to be Democratic.
The st. Paul Press praises the
Idaho constitution and attributes
political instead of constitutional
motives to the Democratic members
Of Congress for their attitude on the
Idaho bin. The Pittsburgh Gazette
expresses the same sentiments.
The New York World, on the
other hand, in few brief sentences,
shows the danger and corruption
embodied In the proposed constitu-
ton for Idaho. One significant feat
ure Of the debate on this question
between the newspapers Of the re-
spective parties, is the absence Of
any attempt, on the part of those
which espouse the Idaho bill,
at argument from constitutional
premises. The organic law Of the
nation is Ignored by them. Their
contempt for it makes their opPOn-
ents position, based so sOlidly upon
it. all the more striking.

Scent in HOrsrs.

The finest and deepest emotions
OF dog seem 10 be dependent on
the sense Of smell. Not only does he
carry on his business Of hunting OF
guarding through its aid, but his
devotion to his master and his recog-
milton Of lesser friends depend
largely upon his nose. According

among the humber friends OF man
is keen and delicate Of scent.
The horse will leave musty hay
untouched in his bin, no matter how
hungry he may be. However great

Blind horses will, as n rule, gallop
wildly about n pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The
sense Of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others. when let out

their guide.
The horse, when browsing, is
guided entirely by the nOstrils in its
choice Of proper food, and blind
horses are never known to make

are, Of course, doubled by his keen

since passed, show all the fearevoked
by its actual presence.

HopeIe<sIy Divided.

WAsHINGToN, April IL. = The
House and Senate republican eau
Gus committees are hopelessly apart
on the silver question. After the
last Intellectual meeting Of the joint
subcommittee, the House con-
tingent reported n full committee
failure TO agree. Thereupon Walker,
of Massachusetts,, addressed the
committee, holding that the con-
cessions TO the extreme silver men
had been made with the under
standing that something positive
would be achieved; but that
as they failed to reach an
agreement, the House committee
should revert to the modified Win
dom bill, reported by the coinage
committee. This was put as a mo
tiop, which prevailed, 10 to 5. The
next step will Re to report 10 the
House republican caucus, probably
about Monday night. The indica-
tons are that the caucus will accept
the House committee bill that will
pass the House. Meanwhile the
Senate will probably pass its bill
and the matter will be turned over
to the conference committee.

about three miles below the Mormon
settlement. The ST. Mary's River has
its rise with St. Maryis Lakes, in the
new State Of Montana. II flows north
easierly until, at its confluence with
Lees Creek, it is about fifteen miles
north Of the international boundary
line. The exact location Of the Nor
mon settlement may, therefore, be
described as follows: At point forty
miles south Of Macleod, forty-five
miles souihwes; OF LeihbriJge, thirty
miles east OF TIE main range OF the
Rocky Mountains and fifteen miles
north OF the boundary line between
Montana and Alberta.
While the main Fart Of the settle
ment is on Lees Greek the Mormons
have locations stretching away south
ward to the 81. Mary's River, dis
tan, Of seven miles South OF the St.
Mary's River they have a cattle ranch
and their herds include some valuable
pedigree animals, the whole. be-
lieve, the property OF the Mormon

POSSIBLE EXODUS FROM UTAH.
''Dnring the past summer Mr.. Card.

about twenty-five thousand acres of
land for colonization purposes, and
this fact adds color to the rumor thai
the next few years Will witness a con-
s,anlly increasing tide OF Mormon
immigration from Utah TO Southern
Alberta.
UNwELcoME nfHIeRNSTs.
$40 say that Mormon immigration
is viewed with favor by the great ma
jority Of the people in Alberta would
be very far from the truth. There is
a strong feeling that they are very IN
desirable settlers and should not be
encouraged. The recent trials at Salt
Lake City and the rather sensational
disclosures connected with them have
not tended 10 lessen alarm concerning
the probable results OF Mormon i'm
migration. The experience Of the
United States with these people also
leads Canadians TO fear that, when the
Mormon element gets strong enough,
their experience with them will be
very similar one.
Although it is firmly believed in
many parts Of the country that polyg-
amy is being practiced TO a limited ex-
tent at Lees Creek, the Mormons en-
phatically deny that such is the case
in a single instance. Those who are
in position to know assure me that,
in the Lees Creek Mormon colony,
the males considerably outnumber
the females, and that fact would sup
port their own assertion that they in
tend TO content themselves with a
purely homogeneous existence. What
ever they may do in the future, from
what can learn am Of the opinion
that the Canadian Mormons are not at
present practising polygamy, although
their virtue may be prompted solely
through fear Of the consequences.
Whether this enforced monogamy
will withstand the pressure Of in
creased members and greater conse-
quent power and strength is question
which only the future can decide"
