SLOW JOHN BULL.

He Fought 3ypewriters for Years, But
Had to Swallow Them Finally.
The head of one of the big type writer
manufacturing concerns was speaking
the other day of the hard fight the type
writer people had to overcome English
conservatism and get John Bull to
actually give their machines a trial.
You see,' he said, the English peo-
pie had been used to sending and re-
ceiving written letters for so long that
they regarded with dismay and disgust
the proposition to print their letters for
them.
"A certain big manufacturing con-
cern in this city sent a typewriter
business letter to Sir William G.. Arm
strong. Mitchell * Co., the world ia
nous ship-builders of Liverpool. The
two houses had done business toge ther
for years, and heavy interests were in
volved. but the Liverpool concern sent
an indignant protest against the printed
circular, as they called it, to the New
York company. 1t even went so far as
to intimate that if their house was not
deemed worthy of private written let
ter, instead of a printed circular, it
might be compelled to sever its rela-
tions with the New York concern.
1T was hard work for the New York
company to make the Liverpool concern
understand that no discourteSy was in
tended and that those printed circulars
otherwise, typewriter letters-were
all the go in American. This was only
three or four years ago, but since then
John Bull has poclleted his conserv-
atism and given typewriters cordial
welcome N. y. Mail and Express.

CHAPTER XII.

! Where the mighty river of the North,
! offspring of tho ''unsalted seas" the
| great st. Lawrence, reflects in its crystal
! breast the emerald foliage or the frown
| ing rocks of a thousand isles, now muir
muring softly on some pebbled beach,
now rushing on with foaming crest and
swift impetuous course, like a prodigal
| sated with joys and flying from their en-
brace; in this dreamland of Nature,
! where the only sounds were the songs
Of birds, the rustic of leaves, or the
gurgle of water forcing it's way through
narrow rocky channels, a man standing
on the shore of one of the islets gazed
on the fairy scene with the air of one
not so much enchanted by its beauty as
to be needless of time and circumstance.
In fact he was q sentinel rather than an
artistic admirer-his quick restless eye
observing every shadow on the water,
every movement of bird or leaf. At his
feet birch canoe was drawn up on the
beach; q few PAGES behind him a boy
was broiling some fish upon the embers
of wood fire, while the aroma Of coffee
prcvaded the air.
''Thy supper hath an appetising
smell, Ariel, and think you may cat it

eye of Huron could detect, and with
out trail even y bloodhound could not
follow u.s."
So saying he threw himself at length
upon the ground and fell into Il reverie
from which he was presently aroused by
Ariel with the intimation that supper
was ready. A hungry man might we'll
be thankful for such q banquet, and Mar
den, having done his duty by tho fried
venison, broiled fish and aromatic coffee,
lighted his pipe and resumed his rev.
cry, while Ariel extinguished the fire
and made other preparations for the ap-
preaching night. One by one tho stars
came out, and the silence would have
been oppressive but for the gurgling
sound of the water, which had such a
soporific effect upon Marden, tired as he
was, physically and mentally, that he
was obliged to pace the narrow limits of
the isle to keep awake until Ariel, re-
freshed by a few hours sleep, relieved
his guard.
The boy paused not for reveries nor
listened to drowsy murmurings. For a
moment his eyes swept the obscurity
around him, and glancing upward dis
ccrned the branches of a lofty tree out
lined against the star-lit sky. Noise
lessly he launched the canoe and soon
gained the shore of another and larger

island, from the center of which arose
the gigantic form of the tree he was in
search of, and he soon gained an elevat-
ed position among its branches where
he remained hour after hour, striving
to penetrate the darkness.
With the first faint Indication of day
light his patience was rewarded by Il
spark of fire on distant isle. between
himself and which many others were
were dimly visible. Then the spark
flashed into flame which grew until he
could see that it was fed by duslky fig
ures that momcntariiy grew more dis
tinct. There were four of them and the
spy soon decided that they were whites
and that they were about to prepare a
meal. Instantly the boy descended from
his perch and pushed CIT in his canoe,
which he headed in the direction
of the scene he had just wit
messed. 1t was now dayligh and
he proceeded with great caution,
counting the intervening islands until
he reached one which he knew must be
opposite to the point where he saw the

The ShyIock Senator from Kansas.

Ingalls,, in his talk to the Pennsyl-
vanian Republicans, never said word
about loaning money to Kansas farmers
at Is per cent. interest; neither did he
tell them how he managed to accumu-
late quarter of a million dollars on
salary of S5, 900 year. Had he called
attention to his Shylock method of do
ing business with farmers he might
have enlightened them. But no, he
could better serve his purpose by de
nouncing Democrats in language unbe.
coming any man occupying the office OF
United States Senator. This, however,
is characteristic of the man; he wouldn't
be in his element were he not belching
forth fire and birthstone. He Is the
devil incarnate. Truth and decency are
foreign to his character. N. Y. World.

CHAPTER XIII.


Mercer was prepared, as far as his
limited force admitted. for the attack
of the enemy, with the courage of a
mingled with scorn of the pusillanimity
which rendered the loss of an important
position almost certain, and for which
the English Generals Loudoun and Alb
ercrombie earned the lasting contempt
of tho colonists, if not of their own
troops, while history accuses them OF
imbccility and cowardice.
1t was Renwicll's wnim to announce
the arrival of the little fleet at Oswego
by the discharge of one of the captured
cannon, to the surprise of Mercer, who
did not know that these reinforcements
were possessed of artillery. Jabe had
placed these in position on a raft, and
stacked the French muskctS with fixed
bayonets on the same vessel, so that
they made quite an imposing effect.

Thanks to your suggestion, Jabe,"

tree. In truth, it was you who captured

BAYARO'S WARNING.
The Ex-Secretary Bewails the Potency of
Money in Controlling Politics.

The EX-Secretary bewaIIS the JPOtency OF
Money in Controlling Politics.
Ex-Secretary Bayard and Senator Gray
were speakers at a Democratic mass
meeting at Wilmington. Del. The for
mer took decidedly dark view of the
condition of affairs in the country at
large. He said:
Il can clearly see that the spirit that is now
governing the American people is not one
founded in intelligence or conscience. but it is
the power OF wealth 1t is Il plutocracy and
not d democracy. Everywhere is this made ap-
parent. 1 it In this city-in all the
great cities of the country. Against it 1 warn
you as the representatives of the masses of the
American people. A plutocracy--a government
by wealth-has every fault and not one of the
virtues of aristocracy which our government
was intended to replace and make impossible
in this country. If 1 were to sum up the issue
which is clearly to my mind being made in this
State-indeed, all the United States-I
would say it is the question Of money
against manhood and if the party in which
was. born. in which the whole of my life has
been passed. has any truth in it. it is that it is
the party of manhood as against the mere in
fiuence of money.
Il have seen ii stated by of its chief ad-
vocates and another that the object OF the
Ledge Davenport bill was to give publicity to
elections. But. my friends what we want is to
preserve the conscience of the individual voter
that no one out himself and the eye that reads
all things shall know what vote he places in
the ballot box in the convictions of his con-
science. We want men protected from every
influence except reason, intelligence. con-
science. We neither want them to be fright
ened from their duty nor debauched-irst i'm
poyerished and then debauched-in order to
prevent them from exercising their suffrage in
its fullest and largest sense. The more you
test it the truer you will find my allegation that
the issue in Delaware. as in most of the States
of the Union will be money against manhood
and may Delaware ever find herself on the side
of manhood against the mere power of
money!
The whole country is in broad
grin over the demand of the Indiana
Republicans that elections shall be

that in.-Louisyille Courier-JournaL

s'Have no fears on that score, Jabe, "
responded Renwick, grimly. Il think
your chances for capturing more cannon
are good"
II saw, Lieutenant" said Jabc, with
sudden gravity, don't you believe that
we can whip them?"
ssTo be surc,' was the careless reply;
ssthat's what we're here for"
This answer was so unsatisfactory that
a doubt for the first time crossed the
mind of the ranger.
"If we can't hold the fort" he
thought, ''what will become of the
women and children?" and vision of
his wife and baby at the mercy OF tho
Hurons made his stout heart tremble.
Mercer, having received Selwyn and his
followers, and thanked him for their
services, made place for them in the
programme of defense.
The women and other non-combat-
ants were removed from Fort Ontario
to the stronger building, and Sclwyn
was ordered to garrison the former.

ranger, in surprise.

where he came from"

A curious wager, with fatal results

Freytag put his hands and feet against
the door-posts, while Stern, the man
with whom the bet had been made,
fixed rope round Freytag's neck. At

CHAPTER XL-CoNT1SuED.
When the remains were exhumcd
from the ruins, Ariel observed that the
teeth were larger than those of Mile.
Destain and he resolved to search for the
stilleto and tho belt buckle, which he
thought were most likely to resist the
fire. For these his search was vain, and
what he did find he carried TO Mrs. Yer
non to whom he confided his discovery.
That lady was in the habit of visiting
and miniStering to the wants of the sick
of her people, and she quickly seized
another link in tho chain of evidence.
Taking Ariel with her she proceeded at
once to tho rivcr-bank, where she found
the woman sho wanted, seated on the
ground, her head bowed down and COW
cred with her blanket. Mrs. Vernon
laid her hand on her shoulder and spoke
few words in her own language. The
woman unvailed her face on which the
lines of hopeless anguish were traced in
deepest burrows.
THE daughter of the Great Spirit
comes too latc," she said; 1.-The child is
gomez
'Where have you buried her?'
Gone. Gone! 'she repeated, with des-
pairing gesture. With the sweet SYM
pathetic tone of one to whom grief was
familiar, Mrs. Vernon touched the
heart of the bereaved mother; who told
her briefly the wrong which had been
done her. Her child, a girl of sixteen,
died the night before, and the mother
went to seek aid among the tribe to
bury her the next day. When she
returned the corpse was gone. She
knew not where. Mrs. Vernon was sat
isfied. She had seen the sick girl and
tried to save her; she had also observed
the armlet and necklace with the in
stinctive glance which women bestow
on dress or ornament.
You are right, Ariel" she said, as
they turned away from the river. ''Mlle.
Destain still lives, and we will see if we
cannot outwit this Lemourier and re-
store her to her lover and her family.

house this evening"
