Will Get Even With Him.

At the last session of Congress played very low down trick on my friend, Senator Vance, of North Car oina." said T. F, Kennedy, Cana dian Pacific ticket agent to a repor- ter for the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. "A rather pretty girl with whom 1 had a slight acquaintance, asked me for letter to the agricul- tural department people, recom- mending her to place in the seed distribution rooms. l went to Vance and he growled, No, sir, I'll rec ommend no woman for a place" l argued and pleaded with him, finally saying: But, Senator, this is a very deserving woman. She is old and untitted for the struggle for ex.
 lstence. Her husband served in my command through the war, and he was a splendid soldier. He died on the field and left his wife penniless. Do good deed; help this poor widow Vance's hard heart was melted, and he exclaimed: By George, Kennedy, Ill do it if that's the kind of woman she is. The letter was written and the girl got the job. Some months after this was sitting with Vance on steam
 boat, when up walked this blooming damsel-she was about nineteen with how are you captain?' to me. She recognized Vance and addressed him, saying she had long desired to thank him for his great kindness, telling hlm her name, and how his letter had secured her sinecure. Vance looked at me as much as to say, you just wait, and accepted the young persons thanks and languish- ing glances very quietly. When she had gone Vance turned to me and re- marked mournfullv. Kennedy, you are the biggest liar and most stu pcndous fraud on earth. I'll pay you for this if l wait forty years. "

An exchange says: "There is one common ground on which we can all meet-we have all made mistakes. In fact large portion of the world s history, and the saddest of it, is the record of mistakes. Philosophers have discoursed of, poets have sung about, and preachers have denounc- ed mistakes, since man had speech Bob Ingersoll has lectureG on the "Mistakcs of Noses ' Sankey has sung the Mistakes of my life have been many" and still the human race goes blundcring along kicking hats with brick under them, betting it's money on the wrong horse, voting for conscienceIess demagogues, and getting left generally.

 And so the bids rattled on, and Peggy found herself the center of a large and admirng circle and began to wish she was well out of it all.
 At that moment Mir. Overalle ap- peared, and stepping forward quick ly, said;
 ''I offer overall" And Peggy laughingly called: "Gone!" and started waltzing with the highest bidder.
 The circle disbanded, murmuring :: "Tricked," "Puns not allowed, ,'' and similar remarks, but Peggy was happy, and when half an hour later she met the possessor of her slipper in the conservatory, and he asked her if she would confirm her remark and marry the highest bidder, she only said in half laughing manner, but with a serious look in. the blue for once: "I always keep my word."

An esteemed contemporary notes these mistakes, yiz: To set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly; tc expect uniformity of opinion in the world; to look for judgment and ex- pericnce in youth; to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike; to look for perfection; to worry ourselves ol others over what cannot be helped to neglect to alleviate what may b, remedicd; to make no allowance fol human infrmitics to believe only what finite mind can grasp, and worst of all, to live for time only when any moment may launch us in to eternity.

A Childless Home.

Smith and his wife have every lux ury that money can buy, but there is one thing lacking to their happi- ness, Both are fond of children, but no little voices prattle, no little feet batter in their beautiful home. Il would give ten years of my life Inf l could have one healthy, living child of my own" Smith often says to himself. No woman can he thr mother of healthy offspring unless she herself is in good health. If she suffers from female weakness, gen eral debility, bearing-down pains, and functional Arrangements, her physical condition is such that she cannot hope to have healthy children.

Returned From Heaven.

A story of souls experience with the hereafter, and of it's subsc-
 quent return to the body, is causing a great deal of interest at San Jose,
 Cal. Daisy Williams, thirteen year old daughter of Alfred E. Will Hams. living at the corner of First and Martha streets, has been sick for the last three months with quick consumption, superinduced by an at tack of measles. The girl died July 3lst. The parents state that four weeks before death their daughter to all appearances died. After pe- riod of twenty minutes, during which no sign of life was manifested, the girl suddenly revived and said to a little sister: "Maude, 1 have come back to stay awhile with you. The
 girl then told that she had been m
 heaven. She said that on arrival her little sister, who had died nine
 months before, took her by the hand
 and introduced her to Jesus. Her description of Jesus was most vivid. She related that she saw q host
 of winged angels flying in every di- rection with the swiftness of light. She told who she had seen in heaven, gave the names of many relatives of the family who died before she Nas

Total S36s Hil,~p S3dl,91i.Uuh
 The total expenditures of the liar rlson administration have not been equalled since 1868, year in which 40, PA ,000 of the total was for in- terest on public debt, or nearly S103, ,0O0, ,000 more than the Harri- son administration paid out under this heading in 1891. It has recall ed and surpassed the prodigality of tue time when, under Grant, both the administration and the Treasury were at the mercy of rings of cor rupt politicians and spectators.
 The excess of revenue above ex- penditures for the last year of Mr. Cleveland's administrations was S111,341 ,000. Only three years later the Harrison administration has been unable to meet at maturity the com paratively insignificant amount of $50, ,000 ,0O0 in United States bonds. Instead of calling them and paying them, it has been obliged to ask an extension from national banks hold ing them, and, what is more humili- ating still, to beg national bankers to form a syndicate and buy up S25, 900, ,000 of these bonds so as to pre- vent them from being presented at the Treasury for payment when due. And this after all the trust funds which it was possible to turn into the general fund have been turned in spent.
 With the gold deposit as security for the greenbacks now threatened, and with expenses still increasing {; with tariff levied prevent imports, and with an increasing tendency to use the machinery of the govern mcnt for purposes of private specu- lation, it is not at ali overstating the probabilities of the case to say that with four years more of such repub- licanism the credit of the country would be as thoroughly dissipated as its accumulated cash has been. Such an administration as that of Harri- son, Reed and Quay would have sent the securities of any other country far below par, and if our securities are not now below par in the mar kets of the world it is only because the world believes the American peo- pie have more honesty and common sense than the politicians who have exhausted the Treasury.

born: also, the names of persons whom the family say she ceHld not have known aud never heard of. She stated Jesus told her she must, on her return to earth, tell the family what she had seen, and if they did not believe the statement that he would come himself or send her little sister to convince them. She said that Jesus had led her by the hand and showed her view of hell. She saw many persons there but recogniz- ed only one ncighbor, who died here some time ago. She said she had no conception what they looked like be- fore. The girl says she saw God also, and said, Why they are just like men." She told her family that Jesus message to them was that they would be saved if they would be good. She told her father that Jesus had instructed her to say to him that he must stop swearing and he would be saved. During the time of her purported transition and her death, the girl repeated the story to several without the slightest dcyi- ation. The family at first did not believe it, supposing it was the result of wild delirium, but now are posi- tive that the girl was never delirious during the sickness, and that the story was correct, Many of those living in the immediate neighborhood are firmly convinced of the truth of her experience as narrated

vault was pried OFF, and the casket
taken out. 1t was found to be in as
good a state as it was on Tuesday,
April II, the day of burial. The silver
plate, which bears this inscription, was
not even tarnished: "Reinhold Abra-
ham Lewenhaupt, Count OF Sweden
Norway. Born p. D., 1851. Died April
Is. A. d.. 1891 ~
The casket was placed in an caken
lead-lined case weighing $50 pounds,
and excelsior was packed between the
easket s:itiu case. The lid of the case
was then screwed on and finaNy SOL
dered. The case with the contents
weighed 1000 pounds. Last night the
hermetically-sea case stood in the
open arehway of Old Swedes' Church.
Preparations for the disinterment
have been made for several DAYS but
so secretly were they conducted that
only u few knew OF the intention to re.
move the body. 1t is the desire of the
counts relatives to have his remains
inferred near the place where he spent
his boyhood, and although the Bayards
wanted the body to permanently rest
in their family vault they acquiesced
to the wishes of the counts family.
The casket was then shipped to New
