She Knew Him.

On one of the ocean steamers once a
friend of mine was a passenger. There
was lady aboard with her daughter.
She was from Wisconsin. She said SO
SO often that finally they took her word
for it and believed it. She knew pretty
nearly everything outside of Wiscon-
sin, too. Her daughter had to indorse
SO many extraordinary scraps of infor-
nation that she could only say, YES,
ma" when her mother called upon
her to confirm her statements. The
old lady had a lovely time, for she
poked her nose into everybody's bust
ness, from the passenger who was
sick to the captain who was well and
running the ship as well as he could
with her assistance. One day the pur-
ser, the captain and several others
were sitting around smoking, when
the Wisconsin encyclopedia came on
deck. As she came up the purser said,
in an ordinary conversational tone,
with wink:
II see Mr.. -, of Wisconsin, has
been appointed minister to China"
Yes, indeed he has," broke in the
lady; Eyes, indeed he has, and am
glad of it. I've known him many
years, and many and many sermon
l have listened to from him in his own
church. He is splendid preacher. y

The loss by fire in the United States
during the year 1889 reached the enor-
nous sum of nearly 1925, 900, 900
against $110, 900, 900 in 1888. The fire
waste of 1889 exceeds that of any year
during the fifteen years that an accur-
ate record of the annual loss in the
United States has been kept, and was
only approached by the year 1857,
when sea total of $12O, 200, 900 was
reached. 1t is notable fact that 1889
was year of great CONGREGATIONS, AZ
per cent. of the entire waste having
been confined to fifty-three fires of over
5000, 0oOin magnitude, the total amount
of loss in these fifty-three fires being
nearly $50,000,000, an enormous ap-
portionment, making the average loss
per fire little less than 81, 900, O0O.-

The people of a city or town and
the press are more closely. connected
than many imagine. 1t is through
the press the merchants shows his
goods, the farmer sells his produce,
the manufacturer speaks of his
wares; then what should be so ably
supported as the press since through
it all our wants are known. We
want customers by the score, and
we want your patronage, we want to
buy, we want to sell, we want labor,
we want, to find that which is lost
or stolen in fact everything we want
must go through the press if we get
1t as We want it; then what are
more dependent on each other than
the press and people. The paper in
town or city quickly shows it's sup
port, and no live town can thrive
without a live paper, which it GER
tainly makes. The press and peo-
pie go hand in hand, and each must
aid each other or both will fail.

THE BELLS OF NoTRe DAME.

Whst though the radiant thoxoughesre
Teens with noisy thrungs
What though men handy everywhers
The ribaid jest and songf
Over the din OF oaths and cries
Broodeth wonderous calm,
And mid that solemn stiffness rise
The bells of Notre Dame
Heed not, dear Lord, =" they seem to say.
Thy weak and erring child;
And thou. O gentle mother. pray
That God be reconciled:
And on mankind o Christ, our King,
Pour out thy precious BALM
It's thus they plead and thus they sing
Those bells OF Notre Dame
And so, mskhinks, God, bending down
To ken the things Of earth,
Heeds not the mockery OF the town
Or cries of ribaid mirtb;
Forever soundeth in his cars
penitent psalm
It's thy angelic voice he hears
0 bells of Notre Dame
Plead on, o bells, thar thy sweet voice
May still forever be
An intercession TO rojoice
Benign Divinity;
And that thy tuneful grace may fall
Like dew, a quickening balm
Upon the arid hearts Of all
o bells Of Notre Dame!

sasaIi Colleckons.

That the growing deSire for the pos
session OF good pictures is not confined
to buyers with heavy pocketbooks is
daily evidenced in the experience of
those who are familiar with the in
crease of art taste in this community.
The most appreciative picture admir-
ers are not those who desire that their
possessions shall be known to ell men,
and the best pictures are not by any
manner of means altogether those that
are most known to the public, or that
are component parts of large and i'm
portant collections
1t would be interesting, if it were
possible, to learn about the scores of
individuals who, in small way, have
collected few good pictures for their
personal enjoyment, and concerning
which the public knows nothing
whatever. There are in New York prob
ably several hundred such small collec-
tons of not over half dozen canvases
each that would surprise the commu-
nifty could they be brought out to pub
lie view in one large exhibition. One
amateur. who makes very little dis
play, has in his possession three pic
lures only, but these he considers
would put to shame many more pre-
tentious collections. One of his pic
lures is curious work by Turner that
the amateur picked up in London and
that has an interesting history. The
picture that, like many others by Tur-
ner, is little more than an experiment
In color, represents grotto with sur
rounding landscape. 1t was painted
by Turner on time wager after din
ner at which the artist and his friends
were present. The picture was given
to the host, and was purchased by the
present owner from the family of the
original possessor. New York Star.

A HARD HEADED NEGRO.
He Butts an Ok to Death on Wager Of
IS.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
big Six" negro pugilist ofcon-
siderable local reputation, In .Bir-
mingham, Alabama, to win wager
of SIS is said to have, few days ago,
butted an OK to death. The OK was
three years old and well grown.
When their heads came together
the noise could be heard a block
away. -Four times in rapid success.
sion the colored giants head struck
the OK squarely in the forehead with
terrible force. Then the animal
began to reel and stagger, and gath
ering himself for a final plunge,
''Big Six" drew back a full arms
length and ran his head against that
of the OK with the force of batter
ing ram. The animal fell 20 the
ground and in five minutes he was
dead.
There was small lump on "Big
SKIS" head, but he said that he
telt no pain whatever. ..'Big Six"
is about 4 feet 10 inches high, and
weighs 24O pounds. On his arms,
shoulders and chest the muscles
stand out in great black knots. He
is a giant i'll strength, but known
nothing of the science of pugilism.
His strong point in a fight is his
toughness. It seems almost impos-
sible to hurt him. For a glass of
beer he will break piece of scant-
ling over his head, and for halt
dollar will butt the head out of an
empty beer key.
For FIVE years ''Big Six" has met
and defeated all pugilists who came
here and cared to try their powers
on HIM. No negro can be found in
this section who will face him.
Probably the best fight of his life
was when he knocked out Mervine
Thompson, of Cleveland, O., in
three rounds in a glove contest at
the Casino theatre last December.
Thompson struck him some terrible
blows on the neck, face and body,
but none of them staggered the
black giant, while a right hand
swing caught Thompson in the ribs,
lifted him off his feet, and laid him
senseless on the stage.
"Big Six" was recently offered
5000 to go to Louisville and face
Peter Jackson for tour rounds, but
he refused. He works as a COM
mon laborer at the brewery. He
was for time employed as driver,
bat was too brutal. II a mule or a
horse angered him he would knock
the animal down with one blow of
his big fist.
