that of miners and mechanics; the
roads were passable only on horseback,
and the nearest town was thirty miles

A manual of geology was procured and
read. On horseback in hours OF leisure

CARRYING OUT ORDERs--Mr. To-
bin has risen from poverty to be mil
lionaire. He began life as steamboat
clerk under Commodore Vanderbllt.
When he took the position the Com
modore gave him two orders. First,
to collect fare of everybody and have
no dead-heads on the boat; second, to
start the boat on time and wait for no

strictly that he collected fare Of Van,
derbilt himself the first evening, ana
the next morning left the Commodore
standing on the wharf looking quite
blank. But the old Commodore ad-
mired the pluck and courage OF ms
new clerk. So that one act OF fidelity
to duty was the stepping-stone to Mr..
Tobin's brilliant success. 10 have
something to do aud do it punctually,
wisely and courageously, are the TWO
wheels on which the chariot OF success
rolls. "Whatsoever thy hand flndeth

Account of q Meeting Of Friends Wis
tied by the Indians.

George Dillwyn used to relate all in
cident which occurred in Easton, In
the New York province, during the
American Revolution. 1t was neigh
borhooi much subjected to the inroads
of scouting parties, of both the English
and American governments. All the
Inhabitants but Friends had retreated.
Friends, trusting in the protection, OF
an overruling Providence, continued at
their homes, and kept up their religious
meetings.
At one time, that simple, honest
Friend, Robert Nesbitt, who resided
aboutthirty miles from Easton, walked
thither through the wilderness to at
tend their weekday meeting. They
sat down with open doors to wait upon
the Lord, and whilst thus engaged, an
Indian came and peeped in at them.
Seeing Friends sitting quietly togeth-
er, he Slipped inside of the door, being
followed by company of his country
men. They placed their arms in cor
ner of the room, and took seats.
When the meeting closed, Zebulon
HoXle, one of the Frieuds present, In
vitcd them to his house to refresh them
selves, which invitation they accepted,
and having partaken of his provisions,
quietly departed. Before going, how,
ever, the chief warrior, who could
speak French, had conversation IN
that language with Robert Neshitt, in
which lie told him they had come to
the house intending to destroy all who
were in it, adding, "When we saw you
sitting with your doors open, without
weapons of defence, we had no dispo-
sition to hurt you; we would have
fought for YOU"
Such was the language of this chief,
and yet his party had scalps, doubtless
torn from the bleeding heads of some
who had not been living under the
government of the Prince of Peace.

FERTILIZING CORN.

1t is yet an unsettled question
whether corn requires the application
of q nitrogenous fertilizer. The results
of carefully conducted experiments at
several experiment stations seem to
indicate that this plant has the power
to gather its requisit supply of nitro
gen from the soil, or from the atmos-
phere, or both. That it must have
nitrogen is proven by the fact that the
maturcd plant, in all its parts, aad es-
pecally the grain, contains nitrogen.
The Indications of these experiments
would seem to be in the very teeth of
the experience of all farmers, that cot
ton seed and cotton seed meal whose
principal element of plant food is nj
trogen rarely fail to produce a good
yield when applied to corn. If corn
were a new plant just introduced into
cultivation, we would conclude by rea-
soning from analogy, that it would Ire

Graphic Account of the Opening Per-

THE RELIGIOUS FEELING INTENSE,
Realism That Carries the Auditors Back to

CRITICS PRAISE THE PERFORMANCE

The 5,o00aor 5000 pilgrims, of all classes
and all nationalities, crowded into the cot
tages ofthe Ober-Ammergau peasantry were
awakened on Whit Monday. at 8 o'clock in
the morning. by the firing of gun on the
hill side. The hum of many voices told
that the villagers were fastening to church
before the great event Of the day. 1t is nee
esssry to call this preliminary service to
mind, says writer in the London Illustrated
Neios, for only by fully comprehending the
intense religious earnestness of the people
can one adequately realize the wonderful
success Of the Passion play. Every garden
and meadow has its Field Christ, which tells
of the sufferings and death Of Jesus; every
roadside, its Gndden-Kappelle. And thus
it is that during the performance the peas
ant spectators are bathed in tears-some of
them sobbing as if their hearts would
break; while that portion of the audience
which occupies the more costly seats-En-
glish, American and Germans for the most
part-remains, certainly not unmoved, but
comparatively unaffected by the terrible
Of which it is witness.

ture is crowded with its 4, 900 ticket holders

morrow's performance. In front of us is a
large stage open to the sky, behind is a
smaller stage, before which hang a curtain.
On the right is the house of Annds, the
high priest; on the left the house of Plate.
To this must be added-and it is an impos-
ing feature throughout background of
green hills and blue sky, the singing of
birds, the sights and sounds of rural nature.
Next to the stage is the orchestra, composed
entirely of peasants, whom we had several
times seen playing in the streets, and on
Sunday in the church. Half the theater-
that part nearest the stage-is roofess; and
this is occupied by the holders of cheap tick
cts, the practice of ordinary theaters being
thus reversed. The 10 shilling, s shilling,
and shilling sheets are thus long way
from the stage; and those who wish to be
disillusioned little-those who would fain
to be sure that the hands OF the Christus are
not actually pierced by nails-will brave
the discomforts of rain or sun, and select the
exposed places near the orchestra.
IMPRESSIVE TABLEAUX.
But the booming once again of a cannon
tells US that the play is about to begin.
From the wings on either side number Of
men and women, beautifully clothed in
classic drapery, come forward and form a
single file across the stage. The leader, or
"choragus," exhorts to q devout contempIa-
tion of the scenes to follow, and a recogni-
ton of the salvation of the world through
Christ's sacrifice. Then the chorus divides
in the middle and falls back on either side,
while the curtain rises on the first of the
many beautiful tableau1. Before each of
the II acts of the drama there are one or
more Of these tableaux, for the most part
representing scenes from Hebrew history.

Thus, the falling of mama from Heaven is
typical of the bread and wine of the Last

NOT ALL ENGLISH,
THE BIG DEALS IN CHICAGO BACKED BY
YANKEE GOLD.


Pork Packers and Brewers Merely Invite
British Capital to Share In Their Profits
The Controlling Interest Retained by
Americaus-n1iItion Involved.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
CHICAGO, June 20.-The deal by which
the great pork packing establishments,
known as the Chicago Packing and Pro-
vision Company, and 81. Botsford & Co.,
passed into the ownership of the City OF
London Contract Company, is not by any
means the transfer of another American in
dustry to British syndicate. 1t is simply
part of scheme by which British capital is
to be admitted to an ownership of part OF the
stock of new corporation by which the
plants of this great concern in Chicago and
Nebraska are to be operated. The balance
of the stock will be owned in America.
Just what proportion of the whole shall
remain on this side of the ocean will be de-
termined by the bidding when the stock and
bonds are put on the market. The stock and
bonds amounting to perhaps IS, 600, 900 in
all will be placed simultaneously on the
London and Chicago markets.
This is precisely the programme which
was followed in the case oil the City of Chi
cago Brewery and Mailing Company, which
about a week ago started upon its career as
the corporation operating five of the largest
and most profitable Chicago breweries and
malt houses. In that case the capital stock
of the new company was made Sc, ,250, 900
and per cent bonds were issued to the
amount OF. $3,0OO,0 900, making total of
50 $50. 900 securities, all of which were
placed upon the London and Chicago mar
kets for popular subscription at the same
time. The subscriptions in Chicago alone
amounted to s17, ,000, 900, and those in Lon
don we're considerably less, so that ten
American capitalists retained controlling
interest.
