LIFE VIII NOT al VA Us LAST.

LIFE VIII NOT al VA Us LAST.
Life will not always stay,
Life will not always last,
This world Is very bright and gay,
But death must come to pass.
Yes, death must sometime come
To take US from this earth,
TO take us to our Heavenly home
Up from our lana Of birth.
Some choose the narrow way
And some look to the broad,
Some choose in fire and torture to lay
While others serve the Lord.

Effect OF the Ukase the Expectation of
Russian Rye.
LONDON, August 13.-A Berlin dispatch saws
the news from eastern Prussia is of the gloom
lest character. The people there have Just be-
come generally aware of the Russian prohi'':
ton of the export of rye and they regard it
almost as a death sentence. Those near the
frontier have been depending of late on rye
purchased in small quantities across the bound
ary in Russia. The Russian officials now refuse
to let even pound of grain go over the line
and have threatened with Imprisonment any
person caught selling or any German found on
Russian soil with grain purchased there. The
scenes described are heartrending and numer-
Gus applications have been made to the local
authorities for relief These applications are
fast consuming the money devoted to the sus-
tenance OF the poor and there is some
talk OF petitioning the Russian government to
issue army rations to the distressed. 1t is be-
leved that Chancellor Caprivi will adopt this
course rather than repeal the corn duties In
the manufacturing centers of Germany. espe-
cially Chemnitz Platzen and Greiz. the dis
tress Of the people is increasing. dulness of
trade being combined with the high price of
provisions. Rye bread is the staple of the
poorer class Of working people and any in
crease of the already high price would mean
starvation to many. There is a strong desire
in the manufacturing districts TO emigrate to
ahead in money to do SO. Among the peas
antry, says correspondent writing from Sile-
sia, the general feeling is that Of pathetic
despair.
The prevalent distress in Germany reacts on
the Jewish refugees and everywhere along the

themselves. The majority of the refugees are
without money and therefore are not permit

Columbian Exposition to be held in the year
1888. The purpose Of Congress in enacting
laws prohibiting the immigration Of Chinese
laborers is well understood 1t is difficult to
see In what manner that purpose would be to
any extent defeated or hindered by permitting
chinese citizens under proper regulations to
visit the United States in 1893 for the purpose
OF attending the international exposition, in
which the Chinese government has been
formally invited by the government Of the
United States to participate.

The democrats hope that his efforts will re-

He has been putting the alliance men on the
