A Persevering Prisoner.

Perseverance will accomplish
everything" Ithad these words for
a writing lesson once and I slallnev-
forget them. 1t is a great thing
to have perseverance. There was
once q man who was shut up in a
dungeon with walls 200 feet thick,
made Of the hardest kind of stone.
He had no tools except a pair of
scissors his brother had sent him in
a loaf OF bread, but he remembered
that q drop of water will wear away
q stone if it falls on the stone long
enough, and that O coral worm,
which is so small that you can hard
ly see it, will eat up and destroy q
coral rect if you will only give it time
enough. So he said that he would
persevere and dig q hole through the
wall of the dungeon with the scissors
and escape if it took him a hundred
years.
He had been digging about a year
when the Governor pardoned him,
and the jailer brought him the joyful
news. But they couldn't get him to
leave the dungeon. He told the jail
Ell that he had undertaken to dig his
way drought the wall and escape in
that way, and that he was going to
stick to it no matter how long it
might take. The jailer urged him to
give it up and walk out of the door,
and even offered him $40 to give up
his dungeon to a new ledger, but
nothing could induce him to change
his mind. So he staid in the dungeon
and dug away at the wall for forty
seven years, and every six months he
had to pay q big bill for damages to
the jail, and he finally died when he
was half through the wall. This
shows what a splendid thing perse-
verance is and that We all ought to
persevere.

An Irish Indian Queen.

The Indian government are about
to be called upon to repay a sum of
100000, which they have had in
their possession for several years,
the proceeds of a legacy left by the
wife of one of the native princes, who
died upward of thirty years ago.
The deceased lady was an Irish wom-
an, who went to India some sixty
years since as the travelling CON-
panion Of two wealthy Englishladies.
During her stay in India she attract
ed the notice of one of the native SOW
ereigns, and he married her. The
pair lived happily for upward oftlrir-
ty years, the wife having a separate
estate settled upon her by the ma
harajah. She died childless and left
no will. Her property was taken
over by the Indian government,
and it has remained in their hands
W since. 1t was at the time OF her
death $50, 900, but it's value has
since arisen to close on 21OO, 900
The relatives of the deceased lady in
Ireland were in entire ignorance of
her fate up till quite recently, when
they learned it accidentally from n
returned Indian soldier. The in
quiries which have since been in
stituted have fully established her
marriage with the Indian prince.
The friends have also assured Them
selves of the existence and value of
the property.-Dublin Freeman's

The Pyramids.

A personal inspection of the p,ra-
mids of Egypt, made by a quarry
owner, who spent some time recently
or the Nile, has led him to the con-
clusion that the old Egyptions were
better builders than those of the
present day. He states that there
are blocks of stone in the pyramids
which weigh three or four times as
much as the ohelisk on the embark
ment. There are stones in the pyra-
mids 80 feet in length, which fit so
closely together that a penknife may
be run over the surface without dis
covering the break between them.

Browning Had a Skeleton.

browning HAD a skeleton.
It is said that there is a skeleton
in every house, but it is perhaps not
generally known that there was one
literally in Robert Browning's
apartments in the Casa Guida, in
Florence, some thirty years ego.
The Tribune says it was kept there
in a cupboard, and was intended for
anatomical drawing. One night,
however, at a time when Home, the
Spiritualist, was in Florence and a
constant visitor at Casa Quida-for
both Browning and his wife were
firm believers in Home at this time,
though the husbands belief faded
in the face of the disclosure of after
%.years-the skeleton fell from it's rest
ing and frightened a lady visitor into
aft. It is hardlyneedfulto say that
such ali untoward occurrence was q
source of great distress to Mrs.
Browning, and the skeleton prompt
ly disappeared, to be seen no more.

ROGER O. MILLS'S PLACE.
New York Sun, Dem. I


The assistant architect of Demo
cratic disaster has been delivering
in Missouri a series of lectures on
his theories OF political economy.
From time to time there have been
brief reports of the Hon. Roger
Q. Mills's appearances in the West,
but the general pnblic, with larger
matters demanding its attention
At Washington and elsewhere, has
not occupied itself much with the
movements of this disappointed
and discredited politician and
back number statesman.
Mr.. Mills returned to Washing
ton on Wednesday, but not to
stay. Through the Ne'o York Times
he makes the subjoined announce
ment to the American people:
"This { Washington } is no place
for me. The campaign Is on. The
people in the Northwest are inter
ested in the tariff question with an
earnestness that that they have
never before manifested, aud | am
going to talk to them. The people
must settle this taxation business,
and all we can do IS to put them
in the way OF looking at 1t right.
ly."
1t strikes Us that Washington is
Just the place for the Hon. Roger
O. Mills just at this time.
If that gentleman were not IN
the receipt of pay from the people
of the United States for the per.
torrance of certain specific aud
welI.defined duties, he might III
dulge his missionary enthusiasm
to any extent, and it would be no
body's business but his own. He
might travel North, South, East
or West according to his indlvld
uAl inclinations, and talk on the
tariff question as long as anybody
was willing to listen.
But as a preliminary to the en-
loyment of perfect freedom to Sc
lect his own field of usefulness il
Is necessary that the Hon. Roger
Q Mills Should resign his seat In
the House OF Representatives and
allow the people of the Ninth dis
tuct of Texas to elect a Represen
tatiye who shall understand that
Washington Is the place for him
while Congress is in session.
AS against Mr.. Mills's unofficial
opinion that Washington is nc
place for him at the present time
we beg leave to submit this very
distinct provision of the Revised
Statu ties of the United States:
"Section 40. The Sergeant.at-
Arms of the House shall deduct
from the monthly payments OF
each member or Delegate the
amount OF Ills salary for each day
that he has been absent from the
House, unless such member OIL
delegate assigns as the reason fol-
such absence the sickness of him
self or of some member of his fam
ily,"
This is mandatory. 1t shows
that in the view of the law Wash
lngton is the place for Hon. Roger
| Q. Mills as long as be continues to
apply to the Sergeant-at-Arms fol
his monthly installment of a salary
paid to him tor attending to the
peoples business.
