Gods of the Bantus.

The great majority of the Bantu people
Of south Africa have no idea of the place
OF habitation or mode of existence of their
deities. Some of the more enlightened, how
ever, especially those who have had some
communication with the Beers, have an
idea that the Great Spirit lives some place
above them, most Of them believing that
his place Of abode is in the top Of an i'm
mense tree.
One curious fact regarding Bantu super
stitions is this: Although the more north
erly tribe have an idea that the Great
Spirit resides some place above them, those
to the south, which come in contact with
the Beers almost every day in the year,
cannot be persuaded that their deities do
not dwell in lonely caves and subterranean
cavities underneath the earth
Before their intercourse with the whites
1t never entered the Bantu's mind that the
acts OF this life could have any effect upon
the spirit after death.-St. Louis Republic

Millions Early Home.

The aspect of thevillage o. Chalfont, St.
Giles, can have changed but little since
Milton came here in the year of the plague.
1t was time to depart from London. The
gloom of death had fallen over the stricken
city, and the watchfires were burning in
the streets, revealing the corpses of the
dead and the agonies of the dying, and
throwing Pickering light upon the house
doors marked with crosses to show that
the pestilence had found it's victim within
1t must have been a relief to the blind
heartbroken old man to breathe the coun-
try air again, and to know that he was
once more in the Buckinghamshire fields
And yet there was something peculiarly
sad in this return to neighborhood in
which he had spent the happiest days of his
life. For scarce a dozen miles away lay
Horton, the last resting place of his mother
and the scene of his tranquil youth, where
he had spent five happy years culling the
flowers of ancient and modern literature,
and enjoying with all the zest of young
receptive genius those enchanting visions
of country life and scenery which throw
their spell over his earlier poetry. From
this delightful retreat came forth "L'Alle-
gro" and III Penseroso," the twin idyls il
which nature is viewed through her re-
Election upon a twofold mirror of the
human mind; "Lycidas," the noblest dirge
and the most exquisite pastoral in the Eng
lish tongue: ''Comus," the so called
masque. with its "Dorique delicacy" of
lyric lay and majestic march OF meter No
lesser offspring could have arisen from this
union of youthful genius with nature at

High Tariff and Shoddy.

The American Wool Reporter recent
~ published the following:
1.-The increase in the duty on carpet
woods renders it necessary for carpet
manufacturers to change present prices,
the advance in the price of carpets over
a year ago Icing proportionately not as
great as the increase in the duty on the
raw material. One effect Of the in
creased duty IL seen in the use of more
shoddy and hair in the making of in
grain carpets. The increased duty has
unquestiona bly, curtailed consumption
and has hurt the manufacture of carpets.
IL carpet woods were free we should
have q better grade of ingrains at q
cheaper price. This would lead to an
improved demand from those who have
to consider the cost even when purchas-
ing an ingram carpet, and the whole in
dustry would be materially benefited"
No wonder that the shoddy manufac-
turers, whose business has been booming
since the enactment of the Mckinley
tariff, declared during the campaign Of
1888 that the election of Cleveland would
be the death Of their business. What a
change has taken place under the high
tariffs since the war, when manufac-
turers of woolen goods openly declare
that the day is passed when all wool
goods are the rule. Shah King Shoddy

AT a meeting of the republican state
central committee at Springfield last
Friday, the editors were taken into the
confidence of the bosses and expression
of thought and experience invited.
Among those who responded was Editor
Eastman. of the Moline Dispatch, who
sprung the old chestnut that the Eleventh
district had been sold out at the las,
election. The assertion is as much Of an
insult to every voter in the Eleventh
congressional district, as it is msliciously
false and without foundation in every
particular.

steamer which left New York was a young
fellow who awakened one morning to find
himself much respected as sailor. The
steamer took it into her head to roll one
day and she rolled beautifully and unceas
ingly. She rolled when there was a sea-
she rolled when there was wind and she
rolled when any self respecting vessel
wouldn't have shown that she was on the
water. It made no difference what the
weather was. she rolled just the same.
In less than six hours after the roll be
gan 90 per cent. Of the passengers were sea

banquet hall had been haetily deserted
There was a deep. dead gloom all over the
ship. A great many people tried to keep
on the upper deck, where the air was fresh
and the wind little enliyening, but the
swing of the ship was so marked up here,
being on the circumference of the circle of
motion, that most people who crawled up
looked around in dazed way, feebly stag
gered back and crept down to the lower
decks.
There was one young man, however,
who did not seem to mind the roll in the
slightest. He had arranged himself com
fortably in one of the ships boats. and lay
there in an easy position all day. He was
there, covered with greatcoat, when the
last passenger save himself had gone to
bed.
The next morning the steamer was in a
better mood and gave up the rolling habit.
At dinner the voyagers who had sat at the
table with the young man congratulated
him on his freedom from seasickness
How in the world could you stay in one
of those boats?" some one asked him. The
joke was too good to keep. "Stay?" he
