THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME,

The wheels Of the world 80 round and round,
In the press OF busy throng,
Morn with It's niatln melody
And night with It's vespcr song;
The tides are out and the tides ARE In.
Like the sea In It's ebb aud flow,
For there's always one TO stay at home
Where there is one to go
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush OF hurrying Ieet,
The sparks NY ont from the wheels OF time
To brighten the hitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and pnth,
Where the pulse OF earth runs slow,
There is always one To stay al home
Where there is one 20 60
Over and over good ,bys are said,
In tests that die with the day,
When eyes are wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away; 4.
Smiles that are worn rs over grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one TO stay al home
Where there rs one to go,
Always one for the little tasks
OF day that Is never done;
Always one TO sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone,
And he who fights on the worlds broad field,
With banner and blast and drum.
Little dreams of battle gained
BY the one who stayed at home.

also found that it was a regular rem

we wanted solitude we shifted our

We found good spring there and

The National Motto.

The national motto, sc pluribus
Unum," on different United States
coins, was never authorized by law to
be so placed; although the mint was es-
tablished in 1892, the use of the motto
on any of the gold silver or copper
coins was not authorized or directed by
any of the provisions of the act estab-
fishing it. None Of the coins since 1887
bore the motto until the standard silver
dollars were coined. 1t remained on
the early gold and silver coins until
1884, when it was omitted from the gold
coins; from the double eagle in 1866.
N 1886 it was dropped from the twenty
}iye-cent piece, and the following year
from all silver coins, the trade dollar
only reviving its use. The motto was
first used on the half-pcnny or cent
struck in New Jersey in 1867

school pisciplIne in Germanr.

A queer case of school discipline has
lately attracted attention in Germany.
The teacher of c villc.ge. school, who
carried on the bu-.n-ss 4: e tracing
teeth to increase his paltry income,
utilized his dental skill for the disciplin-
ing of reealcitrant pupils. Eight boys
were by him deprived of teeth, which
without than with, as a punishment for
gross disobedience. The parents of the
pupils caused this odd disciplinarian TO
be prosecuted for doing bodily injury to
their offspring, but the charge was dis
missed because the teacher proved by
expert medical testimony that instead
of harn1ing his pupils he had actually
benefited them. This style of discipline,
however, has been prohibited.

If you want to be in it up to the neck,
to use rather expressive vernacular
phrase, you must write Town" in
stead of Getty" on local letters.
They say it is quite too utterly En-
glish, and its use will show the postal
clerks and letter carriers that you know
what's what. If it should happen to
bother these hard-worked individuals,
so much the better. For the aforesaid

A Pet Catamount.

A citizen of Albany, Ga, owns a pet
catamount. 1t was captured while
young, and has been reduced to de-
gree of docility which enables its own
er to fondle and play with it, not with
out, however, degree of consideration
as to which way he strokes the cats
fur, for the natural righteousness of his
nature is, even after years imprison-
ment and training, easily aroused, and
Ills snarls and the greenish glitter of
his eyes at such moments makes him
anything but an object of affectionate
consideration from the average citizen.
He is rapidly clearing his quarters of
rats.

Small Change.

Small change, says the London
Graphic, is evidently much appreciated
in southwestern France. A farmer in
the Dauphiny Alps recently sold some
sucking pigs for one hundred and fif-
teen francs, and stipulated that he
should be paid in centimes. The buyer
assented, treating the demand as joke.
When, later, he offered to pay the
money in ordinary cash, however. the
farmer held to his bargain, and sum
moned the other before a magistrate,
who decided that the exact terms of the
agreement must be observed. The
purchaser, therefore, had to count out
eleven thousand five hundred single
centime pieces for his debt of one hum
bred and fifteen francs.

AFRAID OF BANKS.


hidden In i1er bOSOms
Why is it that the majority of women
are SO afraid of a bank? asks the New
York Star. They are only satisfied with
money; checks, banlx-books, or other ev-
idence Of money do not please them.
When l read about the woman few
days ago who put her money under the
waist of her dress and then lost it, /
was reminded of similar loss, only of
larger amount, which occurred in this
city few years ago. After much liti-
cation in the Supreme Court an ill-used
wife got decree of divorce and about
$1,000 alimony. The lawyers and the
wife and her mother met in one of the
small rooms of the courthouse and set
tied The husbands lawyer had a GER
titled check for the alimony, but the
wife wouldn't touch it; she wanted
money. In vain did her own counsel
assure her that the check was better
than money; it was so much safer. Her
husbands treatment of her had been
cruel, and he had fought her application
for divorce in such mean way that she
had come to distrust every thing he
proposed. She believed that the check
was a trick, and she wouldn't have it.
So the two lawyers went out, got the
check cashed, and came back with the
money. She took it, carefully deposited
it in her bosom, smilingly observing
that no thieves could get hold of it
there.
She and her mother left the courthouse
and took the Sixth avenue elevated
e., O., LNhar, no rot
home the money was gone. Womariike,
they believed that the judge who de-
creed the alimony could in some way
make the loss good, and they rushed
back to the courthouse and obtained an
interview with him. He is one of the
tenderest-hearted men in the world, and
he has since described the meeting as
one of the most painful he ever had. The
loss of the money rendered them abso-
lutely penniiess, and there were two
children whose custody had been given
to the mother, the father being worth
less in every respect except pecuniarily
The wife cried and the mother sobbed.
The Judge explained to them that the
case was closed that final Judgment
had been rendered and complied with;
that they had insisted upon taking bills
instead of certified check, which had
been offered to them, and that they had
only themselves to blame for the loss.
He didn't convince the excited and heart
broken women by such arguments.
Finally, there being no other way of
getting rid of them, the judge agreed
to send to the husband and lay the case
before him. lie was not called upon in
any manner to do this, nor, in fact, had
he any right to; but his magnanimity
and pity caused him to. never heard
that he succeeded, however, and am
under the impression that the wife
never got any thing more from her hus-
band. He had paid the courts decree
and he let her go-to starye, if it should
so happen.

England Their advertisements are al

be noticed that English dentists
announce their readiness to perform
all operations with the latest American
improvements. In Paris, likewise,
American dentists are greatly favored
with French patronage, and several of
them have made fortunes by their skill

design had upon it all the features rep

too much to the customs of monarch

however, since been adopted, to signify

TRAVEL IN RUSSIA.

Those Who Travel Through the Cars Do
mains Must Submit to Inconvenience.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says: ''You must furnish your
own bedelothing, pillows, wraps,
towels, etc, and as all travellers in Rus
STA as a general thing have them you
are not much incommoded, except at
times, when you cannot undress. The
great trouble is from the unusual
amount Of bundles and traps of all
sorts that passengers are permitted to
take into the cars with them, oftentimes
thereby infringing upon the rights OF 9TH
ers in the occupying of all the racks and
most of the desirable seats, especially
so when often upon trains of from ten
to twelve passenger cars there is no
more than one half of a car allotted to
first-class passengers. The frst-class
half is painted blue outside and num-
bered, and the other half drab, also
numbered as to class. You are also an
noyed at the clouds of cigarette smoke,
caused by the universal habit of snok-
ing in the cars, at the table and almost
everywhere else. There are no smol1-
ing iOoilS, hOU even IL 0uO hOVSio-
Women, without regard to rank, all
join in. Travel is generally by second
class; the peasants by the third, with
very little difference, except in fare, be-
tween the first and second class. In the
first you have more elbow room and
freedom from bundles. Should you be
lucky enough, as it were, to secure ahead

can be very comfortable indeed"

ROME, Nov. s.-News from Paris that
the council of ministers has decided to
abolish the differential duties now lev
led on France against italian products,
has given the greatest satisfaction to the
people OF Italy.
The wine crop Of '91 is now about COM
pleted. Reports from every part OF the
country testify to its abundance and
excellent quality. 1t is even said in
many sections to be almost an impossi-
bility to provide the casks and barrels
necessary for its transportation. With
ready market for this enormous crop,
and the crops OF cereals considerably
above the average, Italy ought during
the coming year to enter upon a new
period OF prosperity.

extradition of two of Balmaceda e. minis
ters, implicated in the plot to murder
Colonel Canto. 1t is believed the ex-

in the United States legation at San
tisgo.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 6.-The news
papers here for several days have been
publishing wild stories about conspir-
acy among the refugees at the American
legation to kill General Canto. A no.
tlce was circulated today calling meet
ing of the people in the plaza to de-
nounce the conspiracy. Egan, United
States minister, informed the junta that
threats had been made to attack the
United States legation and capture the
refugees, and warned the junta that
it would be held responsible for
such action. Later in the day
several thousand men assembled in
the plaza and applauded several
incendiary speeches, in which the sup
posed conspiracy and the United States
legation were denounced The junta,
upon receiving Egans letter, sent a
troop of cavalry to guard the United
States legation, and as the meeting in
the plaza closed, the intendente pub
lished a notice saying the stories of con-
spiracy were devoid of foundation. Seri-
Gus trouble was doubtless averted by
this notice, although the government
did nothing to prevent trouble until re-

A BRITISH LIE NAILED.
Ample Proof That the Baltimore Did
Not Play the Part of a Spy.

Not Play the Part of a Spy.
CHICAGO, Nov. GA private letter re-
ceived today from Benjamin W. Wells,
one OF the u. S. S. Baltimore's officers,
by his father in this city, explodes the
assertions OF British naval officers that
the Baltimore acted as spy on the
Chilean insurgents when the latter
landed at Quintero. The letter is dated
August 23d, and reads:
'sMy last letter to you was from
Coquimbo. The day it was mailed we
received word that the insurgents had
landed near Valparaiso"
This extract shows conclusively that
the Baltimore, instead of being along
side the British ship Champion, on the
day OF the insurgents landing at Quin-
tero bay (as the officials Of that ship
asserted, according to a dispatch from
Victoria. B. c., printed this morning)
was at Coquimbo and not near Quintero.
Mr.. Wells says the news of the land
ing reached him at breakfast, and the
Baltimore did not leave Coquimbo until
midnight. The first thing that at
tracted his attention on reaching Val
paraiso harbor at sunset the following
evening was the inBurgent warships
Abtao and Magellanes with flags flying
at all masts in celebration of insurgent
success in the first days fighting.
The letter then describes the scenes
attending the fall of Valparaiso, includ-
ing the taking of wounded officers,
women and children aboard the Balti-
more, and practically the accession of
the junta to power. 1t then adds pro-
phetically: tWe will not be in good
favor here; that may be taken for
granted. After the capturing of the
Itata and the cutting of the cable at
Iquique, the chances for bare politeness
are SLIM" The letter concludes as fol-
lows: 81 heard the minister of war cay
last night that as the battle was turning
against him he turned to the command
er of one of the battalions and said to
him: Major, where are your men Post
them in such place. The officer an
swered: 'Sir, except me the battalion
no longer exists.
"Just think of it, the entire battalion
was completely wiped out, and this was
only one of many. There is no doubt
about it, the government was frightfully
beaten. All the doctors we can spare
are ashore working in the hospitals
One sent ashore yesterday went up to
the battlefield and worked over the
wounded there; 1900 were. brought in
last night"
1t was was after this letter, telling o.
the Baltimore's surgeons work of hui
manity for the wounded Chileans, had
been mailed, that portion OF the Balti
more's crew was 'frightfully maltreated
in the streets of Valparaiso. Mr.. Wellt
was the officer in charge of the boats
that landed detachment Of American
bluejackets and marines during the dis
order following the insurgent victory.
