GRAINS OF GOLD.

Whoever is out of patience is out
of his soul.
Discomfort is the want OF SELF
reliance; it is infrmity OF Will.
What we ought not to do we
should not even think of dong.
Idleness is both a great sin and
the cause of many more.
Ability involves responsibility.
Power to it's last particle is duty.
Doing is the great thing; for if,
resolutely, people do what is rIght'
In time they come to like dong IT,
A happy life is not made up OF
negatives. Exemption from one
thing is not possession OF another.
When I think what we can be If
we must, [ can't believe that the
least of US shall finally perish.--W
d. Howells.
We cannot conquer fate and ne
cessity, yet we can yield to them IN
such a manner as TO be greater than
if we could.
A woman should possess great
virtue, for she often has to provide
enough for both herself and her
husband.
Forgiveness is better than re-
venge, for forgiveness is the sign OF
q gentle nature, but revenge is the
sign of savage nature.
Little things have their influence
Thoreau says: 81 have read that a
descent of an eighth of an inch in u
mile is sufficient to produce flow. "
One of the illusions is that the
present hour is not the critical, de-
cisive hour. Write it on your
heart that every day is the best
day of the year.
He liveth long who liveth well!
All else is being flung away;
| He liveth longest who can tell
Of true things truly done each day
Be what thou seemest; live the creed
Hold up to earth the torch divine;
| WudG lIlOu pIdyCSG W UC AlttuS
Let no faltering steps be thine.
| Rev. Horatius Bonar
Opinion builds our church
chooseth our preacher, formeth
our discipline, frameth our gesture
measureth our prayers and metho'
| diseth our sermons.
The highest art is always the
most religious, and the greatest
artist is always q devout man. A
soothing Raphael or Michael An
cello is not conceivable.
To be happy at home is the ulti
mate result of all ambition, the enc
to which every enterprise and la
Dor tends,and of which every desire
prompts the prosecution.
Such help as we can give eact
other in this world is debt t6
each other, and the man who per.
ceives superiority or capacity
in subordinate, and neither con
fesses nor assists it, is not merely
the withholder Of kindness, but the
committer of injury.

French naval naneuvers in the Gulf Of Lyons
ended yesterday in the WHOLE fleet attacking
Toulon. Ministers Ribot and Barley, the mill
tary attaches Of the American, British and Ger
man legations, and many senators and deputies
witnessed the attack. Torpedo vessels and
shore batteries defended the roadstead against
sixty war ships, headed by a steel barbette
which was extremely formidable. After a
furious cannonade the ships advanced in one
line and broke through. the defenses. Among
the featnres of the maneuvers WAS the use of
balloons to tow steamers.
The official report On the French maneuvers
in the Mediterranean concludes: The iron
clads during three days maintained without ac-
cident high rate OF speed. 1t is incontestible
that an ironclsd squadron of inferior speed, if
attended by sufficient number If light craft,
can be kept informed Of the movements OF a
faster squadron and can thus be enabled to
ccunteract al eneIny's designs. Hence it is ad-
vlsable to provide large, swift cruisers

DISTRICT INVENTIVE GENIUS.
1t Usually Makes a Good Show, but 1t Gets
No Patent This Week

1t Usually Makes a Good Show, but 1t Gets
No Patent This Week.
The weekly issue Of the Patent Office Gazette
comes out this week lacking feature which is
rarely wanting. 1t contains no record of
patent issued to citizen of the District As
rule the inventive genius Of the citizens OF the
District is represented in the weekly list of
patents. 1t is also an interesting fact that in
proportion to the population the District of
Columbia has stood at the head Of the list as
having taken out more patents in one year than
any state in the country When not &C.
cupying the first place in this classification the
District generally stands second. Connecticut,
in proper ton to the number of its inhabitants,
takes out more patents than any other state.
But the inventiveness Of even that state Yields
to the District Of Columbia. In 1888 the Dis
trict stood at the head, having accomplished
that feat also In 1875 and 1875. During the
past twenty years the District has been at the
head three years and for eight years it occupied
the second place.

SOME OF OLE MASSES WAYS.
Primitive Ideas of Marriage and Divorc
and a Strong Love of Liberty.

Primitive Ideas of Marriage and Divorce
and a Strong Love of Liberty.
Another scouting party that was sent out to
round up Old Masse has returned to San Carlos.
Arlz., with the usual report that it followed his
trail until provisions gave out and then had to
quit Scouting parties have been proving
around after Old Masse since 1886, but thew
never catch up with him and probably never
will until he grows too old and blind to find a
trail and gropes into a cavalry camp by mis-
take
Masse is Chiricahua who always has been on
the warpath. He was with Geronimo in 1896,
and assisted that willy warrior In the capture Of
Gen. Crooks command in the Sierra Madre.
When Geronimo accepted much against his
WILL job to teach Sunday school in Florida,
Old Masse was compelled to wipe off his war
paint, put on new pair Of army trousers and
climb into car bound east. By the time he
had seen Kansas City and st. Louis he made
up his mind that the fleeing nature Of this
earthly show was too big for him to tackle, and
stealing carbine and a revolver from one Of
the guards. he jumped from the train and took
the back trail for Arizona.
On the way back Old Masse killed two Co.
manche bucks in the Indian territory, an
ne1ed their squaws, stole some horses and then
continued his way home but the squaws did
not prove to be all that his fancy painted them
and he killed them before he reached the reser-
walton.
His arrival at the White mountains was re-
ported to the San Carlos agent and scouting
parties were sent out after him. They have
been after him ever since.
Old Masse haunts the trail between San Carlos
and Sonora and keeps his memory green in the
minds Of settlers and prospectors by taking
pot shots at them from behind rocks and mes
quite bushes. Not long ago he was proving
about near Fort Apache and saw an old squaw
and her daughter passing along the trail He
thought he wanted the daughter, but had no
use for the old woman. SO he shot the latter
aud took bridal trip with the young squaw
over the Sonora line.
But again he was disappointed in love
Conjugal infelicityHsoon developed, and Old
NGsse loaded up his rife for the purpose OF
procuring divorce in his own simple way
Mrs. Masse begged hard for her life aud as Old
Masse was in better humor than usual, he laid
aside his rifle and told her to go back to her
grandmother.
She had long, weary march over the noun
tains. but finally reached the agency and told
her story. And that is how it happened that
the last scouting party took Old Masses trail
When Masse gets SO old that he can't sight a
rifle he may return to the agency and be a good
Indian. Until then he will keep the warpath

pint The charge keeping al unlicensed
bar. which means selling liquor in quantities
less than one pint.

movement looking to holding the national en-
campment of 1892 in this the capital city of the
nation. lit being. as we believe, the most ap-
propriate place to invite our comrades on ac-
count of its national character. The question
of prejudice against coiored veterans on the
part Of some of the citizens of Washington is
one of secondary importance to US, and as We
have for twenty-seven years past ignored such
prejudice, and have not only remained here
ourselves, but have been inviting our comrades
inaugurations that to draw the line now on the
old veterans, and to in any way interfere with
their coming, meets our united disapproval."
