THE SUPREME SERVICE.
Our Chief Concern Ought to Be to Liv'
 Deeply, Richly and Nobly.

Our Chief Concern Ought to Be to Live
 Deeply, Richly and Nobly.
 One of the heresies which mislead us is the belief that we are useful only when we are actually doing something with our hands and feet. The word doing, says the Christian Union, is underscored in almost every mans practical philosophy of life; the word being is generally written in small characters. No wise man will underate the importance of activity, because every such man un- derstands that there can be no real life which does not bear fruitage. But the tree does not live consciously for the sake of bearing fruit; the fruit is the overflow of it's vitality. We ought to live in the same fashion. Our chief con- cern ought to be to live deeply, richly and nobly, and then activity will take care of itself. No one can make the word being full of depth and meaning without also giving new depth and meaning to the word doing. To be great implies the doing of great things, but no man becomes great by any activity outside of himself; he is first of all, great in himself, and his activity is simply a revelation of his greatness. The first concern of us all is to be noble. The idea that activity is the only measure of usefulness con- stantly misleads superficial people, who are continually doing things with very little thought and very little spiritual force, into the belief that they are attaining great spiritual growth; while, on the other hand, it constantly misleads people who have small strength or small opportunities, and who can do but little with their hands and feet, into the belief that they are of very little use in life. The real measure of greatness is always an inward and spiritual meas ure. It is a test which can not be evaded, which dissipates false standards and conventions like the mist, and gets at the very heart of character. The greatest service which any of us can ren- der to our fellows is, first and foremost, to be so evidently strong, earnest and cheerful that the discouraged take new lease of hope from us, the doubtful se- cure a new vision of faith, and those who have fallen, new impulse to get on their feet again. It is of infinitely more importance to-day to pour new tide of victorious faith and hope and strength into the souls of men than to do any thing, anywhere. Besides this supreme service of feeding the spiritual life of the world, all doing, however magnificent, is comparatively insignifi- cant. The greatest servants of human ity are those who, by embodying a no- ble ideal of life, constantly reinforce the faith of those who are feebler in the pos sibility of such life, reconcile them to the hard conditions of their own exist ence, and inspire them with a faith which of themselves they could not achieve.

The Story of . Famous Duel.

Without doubt the most tragic duel ever fought in the vicinity of New York City was the deadly contest be- tween Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Historic as it is, stories not given in the books are being retailed about it, Fitz Green Washington, great-grand- nephew of the father of his country, has an account of the affair from his grandfather, Captain Fitz Hughes. The Captain learned after the start where the fighting ground had been located, and was rowed across the North river by couple of slaves. When he arrived the antagonists had taken positions. Hamilton and Burr were to fire twice or thrice. At the word of command Hamilton fired at Burr and Burr fired in the air. At the second firing Hamil- ton fired in the air and Burr shot Ham
 lton. Hamilton thought Burr meant to kill him, as he meant to kill Burr, but when he saw the discharge in the air he changed his tactics, as did Burr, and with fatal results. This is said to be the true history of the duel fought by these two great men.

CATCHING A PYTHON.
How Big Snake Was DIslodged from Its
 Rocky Retreat.

uO" H bAH Snake was LIS
 Rocky Retreat.
 It was during the cold weather, when snakes are partially or wholly torpid, that this adventure happened, says Chambers Journal. Had it been in hot weather, when snakes are lively, the story might have had different end ing.
 General Macintyre and his party went one day to examine hole or crevicc Under a rock, where it was suspected q python lay hidden, and sure enough 1t was there, for they could see bit ol the tail-end protruding from the hole. They let it alone at first, thinking that when the sun shone it might come forth to bask in it's warmth. In this, how ever, they were disappointed, for on the following day the snake was not to be seen. But on closer examination the tail was found sticking out as before. Various efforts were made to dislodge it. A fire was lit in front and the smoke famed inward, but this had no effect. The earth was even scraped away and the hole widened, when they could see the coils of the monster as thick as mans thigh; but except that their oper- ations were occasionally Interrupted by the startling presence of the creatures head, which it occasionally poked to- ward the entrance, darting out it's lit tie forked tongue, it gave small signs of animation. They had even de- termined to try to draw it. We all three, therefore, proceeded-somewhat nervously, I must own-to lay hold of it's tail. To this familiarity it showed it's objection by decided in- clination to wag it's caudal extremity, which had such an electrical effect on our nerves that we dropped it like hot potato, and-what shall 1 call it?-re- i tired. A shot would in all probability have induced the snake to quit its re- fuge, but then the shot must have torn and disfgured it's beautiful skin, which the General wished to secure uninjured as a specimen. In the meantime more efficient tools for digging had been sent | for, and these now arrived, borne upon an elephant.
 : A bright idea now struck the party they might draw the snake out with the elephant! Sufficient rope for the pur- pose was loosened from the elephants pad, and this rope, about the thickness of a mans thumb, was hitched around the python's tail, it's remaining length brought up again to the pad and fast ened there, thus doubling it's strength. i Now came the tug-of-warl A sudden ! jerk might have torn the skin; the mahout was therefore warned to put on the strain gradually. Little did we know what a tough and obstinate GUS toner we had to deal with. Tighter and tighter grew the ropes, when ''crack" went one of them. Still the ! strein was increased, when ''crack"- ! the other had snapped also, leaving the snake in statu quo.
 The snake was finally dislodged by counter mining and killed with charge of buckshot. When measured it was found to be twenty-one feet in length and about two feet in girth.

Walked Up EfeCtuany.

A lethargic, dormant condition ot the liver is hardly to be overcome with dras- tic cathartics and nauseous cholagogues. A gentler, pleasanter and far more effect i've means exists of arousing the organ when somnolent. This IS Hosteuer's Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public for many years. A resumption by the biliary organ of its secretive function, with the activity attendant upon health, a return 10 regularity of the bowels, and a renewal of digestion, are the no less happy and certain results ot using the B,tters systematically.

The Atchison,s Csiisorni. Line.

San FRAEcIsco, Oct 3O.-Notwithstand-
ing the late reports about the possible and
probable consultations affecting the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific and
Atchison roads. some railroad officials are
inclined to believe that the Atchison, at
least, will show its hand by sending its sur
veyors up through the San Joaquin valley,
and q general impression exists that early
in 1891 the Atchison will begin actual con-
struction between Rogers and Bakersfield
via the Tekon pass. No person here who
will talk on the proposed road will speak
much about how this city will be entered.
No matter how it comes up the San Joaquin
valley it is said that the new road will cost
somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,-
10000.
Several tunnels will be necessary accord
ing to certain surveys. 1t is thought that
the new road must reach Fresno, San
Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and this city.
but as to whether or not the main line will
come up as far as Fresno and then west
through the Pacheco pass, near Hollister.
and thence to San Jose and this city, with
branch lines to Stockton, Sacramento, and
possibly to Antioch, or whether the main
line will come in back of Oakland. is q
very uncertain matter.
Both G. P. Huntington and Colonel G. #.
Crocker are quoted as believing that there
is not much room for doubt that the Atch-
ison has made arrangements to build here.
Movements of the Union Pacific are more
in doubt.

CENSUS OF ALASKA.
Between IS, 900 and 38,OOO People-In-
crease Of White Population.

Between $1,000 and $1,000 People-In-
crease OF White Population.
WAsHINGToN CRY. Oct. 30.-lSpecial.]-
The census Of Alaska has practically been
completed. Early in March last Mr.. Ivan
Petrof, who had been placed in charge Of
that work, started for hissfeld of labor.
He has just returned and is now engaged
in making preliminary report Mr.. Petrof
was we'll equipped for this special task. He
is native Russian and has lived in Alaska
much Of his life. He is therefore well
acquainted with the people and the coun-
try. Ten years ago he took the census Of
Alaska, but he does not consider that the
results were as thorough as they might
have been. This time, however, he was
given authority to appoint assistants, and
it is believed that the census which he has
about concluded viii be accurate.
Mr.. Petroff estimates that the population
Of Alaska viii be shown to be between
IS 900 and $4,000. A notable fact is the
large increase in the white population. and
at the same time the growth Of the indus
tries and development Of the resources of
the country. Mr.. Petrofi travelled over the
entire country to maintain supervision
over the work.

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct 30.-General
Ruger, commanding the department Of
Dakota. today submitted his annual re-
port. He says there is no reason in general
to apprehend molessation of the settlers
upon the ceded lands of the Sioux reserva-
tions by the most disaffected Indians. If
the latter are kept under military surveil-
lance for . time at . few points where
friction is most likely to result from the
settlement. Respecting the threatened
trouble at Flathead Lake, Mont, he says it
appears upon inquiry that there is little
probability Of serious trouble. that the en-
forcsment by the civil officers Of the stat
ute prohibitive of the sale of liquor to In
dians and half breeds is the principal neces-
sity in the case. He approves the post can
teen system.

THE GIRL OF HIS CHoIcE.

Sad Results OF Indiana Father Inter-
fering In His Boys Love AFFAIR.
TACOMA, Oct. 30.-[Special. IA sad story
OF the result Of parents objection to .
young Hoosier marrying the girl Of his
choice was brought to Light In this city this
evening.
Two years ago Albert Heichelbeck Of
Dale. Spencer county, Ind. then aged Is
years, and q promising young man, with
good standing in the best society Of the
place. fell desperately in love with the
daughter Of Protestant family Of the
same town. Albert's father. Michael
Heichelbeck, was member of the Catholic
church, and both he and his wife objected
t. Albert spending most OF his loisure
hours with the young lady in question.
For q time young Heichelbeck withdrew
from society, and later left home. After
ward he returned, much to the joy Of his
parents, who. however. still objected to any
further attention being paid by the young
man to his sweetheart with view to mat
rimony. For time Albert kept out Of So
ciety, but he must meet his love, and grad
ually became one of the leaders in the CAV
events of the season. The objections made
by his parents, however. to his conduct in
society at last led Albert to run away to
Washington. His father. well-to-do mer-
chant, was not asked for money to paw
even his fare. With what money he had,
together with small amounts borrowed of
friends, Albert managed to reach Tacoma
last April.
He was accompanied by several friends.
and for time worked IN brickyard near
this city. Ten weeks ago he secured en-
ployment in Thompson's sawmill in Coul-
ter's addition, but the next day after going
to work he lacerated his right leg with an
AK while logging, and was taken to the city
and county hospital for treatment. The
wound. which at first was not considered
serious, gradually grew inflamed. gangrene
set in and four weeks ago the leg was am.
putated midway between the knee and
thigh.
Albert did not notify his parents, but the
hospital officials did, and upon the arrival
of Michael Heichelbeck in the city q couple
of days ago, arrangements were made to
convey the son to his Hoosier home. Both
father and son are penitent They start
tomorrow morning, via the Union Pacific,
for Indiana
