RALLY TO THE RESCUE.
Lawyers and Merchants Suddenly
Turn Carpenters.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Sept. 49,
A remarkable spectacle was presented
at the new exposition building in this
city yesterday. Two hundred union
carpenters struck work because the
board of directors found it was abso-
lutely necessary to buy small quantity
of lumber from boycotted mill. Pub
lie indignation was at once aroused to
remarkable degree. Prominent citi-
ZenS, bankers, merchants, lawyers,
eouncilmen pulled off their coats, and,
hammer in hand, went to the building
and engaged in the work of laying
shingles on the immense roof. The eX-
ample has become contagious, and scores
of other leading citizens joined in the
work to-day, including Hon. A. M. Can
non, father of the city: j. j. Brown, a
millionaire banker and capitalist; w. ii.
Taylor. president of the board of trade:
Mayor ClOugh and a host of others. The
strike was made without a moments
warning. A conference was immedi-
ately held, but it resulted in no agree
ment. The board of directors then is
sued call to the public, explaining
their course and urging all the good citi-
Zens to rally to the rescue. A large
force of non-uniOn men were also placed
at work this morning. and the building
will surely be completed in time for the
opening on Oct. l.

Judge Veazey, of Vermont, the newly
elected Commander-in Chief of the Grand
Army, is as fine a specimen of New Eng
land manhood as one will meet in long
days travel. He is of good hight, tall, in
fact; but his massive figure has the effect
of making him appear shorter than he
really is. His face is a remarkable cue.
In profile it has the same striking outline
as the late President Garfelds, and in the

carried at the head of the Vermont COL

that of Garfield. He is a fine scholar,

THE BELL OF THE ANGELS.
There has come to my mind legend. thing 1
had half forgot.
And whether read or dreamed it-ah, well, it
matters not:
1t is said in heaven at twilight great bell softly
swings,
And man may listen and harken at the won
drous music that rings,
If he put from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing that throb in the
pulses of life;
If he thrust from his soul allhatred, all thoughts
of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell
of the angels rings.
And think there lies in this legend, if we open
our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, to
you and to me-
Let US look in our hearts and question Can
pure thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already the dwelling of
thoughts of sin 1?
So then let us ponder little, let us look in our
hearts and see
If the twilight bell of the angels could ring for
us-you and me.

An Odd Conceit.

Last season party of twenty ladies and
as many gentl emen dined together prior
to attending ball masque. From the
chandelier in the center of the dining
room depended twenty scarfs of gros
grained ribbon, each three and half
yards long and nine inches wide, heavily
fringed and richly adorned at both ends
with paintings of flowers and foliage.
These flowers were so arranged In canopy
fashion that an end of each came down to
the place one of the ladies was to occupy
at the table, and care was taken in their
selection to have colors harmonizing with
the complexion of the ladies for whom
they were severally intended, as shown
by the names printed in gold upon the
flowers. The gentlemen were supplied
with menus painted in water colors upon
which the floral decorations corresponded
with those upon the ladies scarfs. After
the dinner the scarfs were worn to the
ball and retained by the ladies as souve,,

or,.;, Of the Horseshoe.

All sorts of questions are asked OF news
paper men, and why, no one knows. An
individual who is patron OF the Herald
sees fit to state through our columns the
origin of the horseshoe. We have puzzled
over the matter somewhat, and find that
the feet of horses were protected by leather
boots as early as the days of Aristotle and
Pliny. The boots we're sometimes shod
with metal. There is one writer who
claims that the mules of Nero were shod
with silver. The claim is probably as
true as many other things handed down
by tradition. Homer speaks of 'brazen-
footed steeds" Iron shoes were first
nailed to the hoofs of horses in the ninth
century, at any rate the works of Emperor
Leo so state. Iron horseshoes were first
introduced into England by William I.
about 1858. This is the best information
we can get upon the subject. If any one
else can give any better, we woald like to
