was terrific, and those who witnessed the accident
expected to OF eless people scattered about

road should have prevented the accident The block
signal should have been set about eighth Of mile

Starve it. Give it nothing to feed
on. When something tempts you
to grow angry, do not yield to II =
temptation. 1t may for a minute
or two be difficult to control your
self; but try it. Force yourself to
do nothing, to say nothing and the
rising temper will be forced to go
down, because it has nothing to
hold it up. The person who can
and does control tongue, hand,
heart in the face of great proyocation
s a hero. The world may not own
him or her as such, but God does.
The Bible says that be that ruleth
his spirit is better than be that
taketh a city.
What is gained by yielding to
temper? For a moment there is a
feeling of relief; but soon comes a
sense of sorrow and shame, with a
wish that the temper had been con-
trolled. Friends are separated by a
bad temper, trouble is caused by it,
and pain is given to others as well
as to self. That pain to often lasts
for days, even sometimes for
life. An outburst of temper is like
the bursting Of steam boiler; it is
impossible to tell before what will
be the result. The evil done may
never be remedied. Starve your
temper. It is not worth keeping
alive.

TIE HOLY COAT OF TI;EvES.
Impressive Scenes in the Sane ctuary Where
It Is Exhibited.

BERLIN, August 2O.-The garment
known as The Holy Coat was exposed
to view this morning in the cathedral
at G,reves. Two Knigh Of Malta in
full costume with drawn swords IN
theiy hands stood on either side of the
shrine enclosed by the Holy Coat case,
which was surrounded by tall, lighted
candles in handsome candlesticks, and
surmounted by large gold cross. There
was an impressive scene in the sanctu-
airy, over hundred priests assisting in
the ceremonies, which were grand in
the extreme.
The cathedral was richly decorated
for the occasion and was packed to the
doors with people. Bishop Korum,
during the course bis address to the as
sembleG multitude, earnestly urged the
faithful to unite III venerating the gar
ment from which power and virtue pro-
ceed. The cathedral was then cleared
so as to enable the municipal authorities
and parOchial societies to march up to
the shrine Of the holy coat and vener-
ate the relic. Much comment mas been
caused by the remarks Of Bishop korum
in his opening address, when he re-
ferred pointedly to the spiritual signifi-
canoe of the holy coat as being a seam
less vesture and symbol Of the unity of
the Catholic Church.
There We're many Roman Catholic
members Of the Reichstag present, and
it is said that the Bishop particularly,
and in manner not to be mistaken,
addressed his remarks to those men,
bers. Tie holy coat is distinctly visi-
bic in the body of the cathedral and
is much more plainly seen than upon
former occasions Of its exhibition. The
old silken covering being almost en-
tiraly worn away, appeared to-day to
be of a. brownish yellow color. The
scene in the cathedral was d motley
one. English tourists in light tweed
suits and Prussian officers in uniform,
stubbornly refusing to kneel before the
relict, and bourge Use citizens in even
ing dress were promirenti in the crowd.
The services, with its monotonous
Gregorian chants and the administra-
ton Of the eucharist to representative
ecclesiastics, seemed OF the character Of
medieval observance. Many persons
were overpowered by their feelings and
several women tainted. a procession Of
pilgrims passed, most of whom handed
a rosary or cruc!fiN to the attendant
priests for contact with the relic. The
procession was accompanied by a low
hum Of patcrnosters and aves. Among
the pilgrims are cripples and sufferers
from almost every complaint. There
were some seconds ofdisorder owing to
somewhat violent attempts made to
gain early access to the cathedral. At
10 o'clock tonight pilgrims were still
filing in to behold the relic.

THE sTOEY OF A SEAL.
Eavia. EIade Friends on Land, Ii Refuses
to Return 10 the sea.

From the San Fraiicisco CEro.. :cle. !
The steamer Gypsy had Il very pecu-
liar passenger for half the way up from
Monterey Oh its last trip. The peculiar
passenger was nothing less til;ln u live
baby seal, which had some curious and
almost wonderful adventures on the
shore at Pacific Grove.
Early one morning tie family Of
Judge Poardman of Reno, New, were
awakened by a strange barking in the
yard. The cause Of this commotion
proved to be baby seal, which had
crawled from the shore, quarter of a
mile away, during the night, and had
taken up its quarters in 4 dry goods box
in the Gooryard. the sea wall was
given a bowl of mush and milk for
breakfast. The animal was inofensive
and allowed his uew-found friends 10
pour the repast down his throat with
out struggling to get away. Then tie
seal stretched himself out on the lawn,
where ne slept and snorrd $nunoliy.
Later in the day the boys Of lie i5oar'-
man family, fearing the little sea!
would die if kept out OF the water, car
ried it to the bay ami threw it in.
The sea! was loath to remain there.
The boys waGed IN and pushed him cut
some distance. Then they gave up the
task, and the little seal promptly de-
serted the waves and started straight
way back for his adopted home on the
hill. The boys followed the ANNA! in
his slow march back, past severa
houses, until he reached the Boardman
residence, which he seemed to recog-
nize. Immediately upon his arrival
there he seemed once more contented,
and took uap Of four hours. After
the nap was over Mrs. Bosrdman aud
her scns again took him to the seashore.
A train passed by as lie lay on the
rocks. He lifted his head and barked
like dog at the passing monster.
Twelve times that afternoon the boys
carried the land-loying seal over the
rocks and threw him into the water,
but his persistence equalled theirs, and
twelve times he clambercd out on dry
land again.
Finally the perseverirg little animal
won his way again and reascended the
hill, returning straight to the Board
man residence. At night one of the
Boardman boys opened the door of the
woodshed, and the seal, which was
outside, Topped right in and made
himself at home. He lay down on
pile OF sacks, where he slept quietly all
night. The next day he was sent off
on the steamer Gypsy, and was brought
up as far as New Years Point, where
the seals breed, and was thrown off to
rejoin tie tribe from which he was
probably lost. 1t is supposed that the
little seal, which weighed about fifty
pounds and was about three months
old, became lost and wondered down
the coast to Monterey. It is also
thought that he was attracted to the
Boardman residence by the barking OF
a dog there, VIII ;h might have led the
little fellow to imagine he could find bis
lost companions.

THREE OLD ..;EBEL" sOLDIHXs.
They are :+o,p:nE the Government to Make
History.
| From the New York Word !


Gen. Dabney II. Maury, Of the dis
tinguished Southern family Of that
name, has been appointed to posi-
ton in the war records office Of the
war department 10 assist in gathering
information FOR the ''Records OF the
Rebellion" now in course cfpu5lica-
ton. Gen. aIaury has been COM
missioned to inspect, the valuable
records Of the Southcr.4 Historical So
c:ety, and will leave at once for Rich
moad, where he will spend some time
in gathering material.
The department IS making special
efforts to gather the records Of the Con
faGerate armies, and with this purpose
il view opened negotiations some time
ago with Gen. Jubal Early, Of Lynch
burg, for the privilege o. inspecting the
valuable papers in his possession re-
lating TO his famous Valley campaigns
and the advance on Washington in
1864. 4 special emissary Of the de-
partment secured, with the aid Of Sen
ator Daniel, who was E,arIy's staff, the
permission Of the General to transfer
the documents in his possession to the
war records office, but the veteran sub
sequently changed his mind and locked
his papers up. Gen. Maury will make
an effort to secure copies of them be-
fore returning to Washington.
OF the surviving generals OF distinc-
tion "Old Jubal" is the most unique IL
appearance and character. He has
not, it is said, visited Washington in
thirty years, and still delights in be-
ing called a "Rebel." \ Union man
at the outbreak OF Tie late war, he was,
after the capture of Fort Sumter, trans
formed into one OF the most uncom-
promising SecessiCnists in the South
ern States. He still remains unrepen-
tant and unpardoned. Though Early
has some fast friends he is not popular.
His gruff brusque manners draw but
few towards him, aud his personal
habits are repeiiant. He lives with a
faithful black servant who has waited
on him for thirty years and who ten
derly cares for him.
The war records office now has three
distinguished Confederates on its rolls
Gen. George Field, Gen. Marcus J.
Wright and Gen. Marry.

SIX UNLUcKY SPREES.
How They Ruined Bright Mans Whole
Life.
1Walter Resant.1

One poor man-he is now dead
I know, who was ruined half dozen
times by drink in very curious and,
I believe, unique manner. He was
miserable enough about his sins, but
his penitence never drove him to get
drunk. Quite the contrary. Drink
ruined him, and yet he was drunk ex-
actly six times during the whole of his
life and no more. Most unfortunately
these were the very days when he
ought not to have got drunk. He had,
I believe, weak and eXcitable head.
AS a rule he drank very little. Now
the first time that he got drunk was
when he was made captain of his
school and got scholarship for the
university. He drank champagne and
he met the head master. Result, loss
of his place and scholarship. The next
time he got drunk was the night before
the final examination for his degree.
1t was of the highest Importance to
him that lie should take q good degree;
if he did himself justice he was sure Of
a good first and and Of q fellowship.
Unluckily, be got drunk on the very
evening when he should have gone
sober and early to bed the next day
he was q wreck and fal,ed altogether.
Ia the end he took . third. After this
he renOunceG scholarship and went
into journalism. He did pretty we'll,
writing articles and making u good
income and being perfectly steady,
though, of coucse, he had the reputa-
ton Of the man who had got drunk
and lost his first. Then there came
moment when q certain editorial chair
was vacant. lie knew that he was
mentioned for it. lie got drunk and
was seen by the pronrietors in a con-
dition of hot coppers and imbeciiity.
So he failed. He then got engaged to
be married.
VIII it be believed that he got drunk |
the very evening before tie wedding, !
and was seen il that condition by the |
unhappy bride and all her friends " |
Result: marriage ceeTu?ony not per
formed. So he remained bachelor.
And there was oncg I lawsuit il which |
