The president rose early, as his
sleep was light and capricious. In
the summer. when he lived at tho sol
dicr's hcme. he would take his frugal
breakfast and ride into town In time
20 be at his desk at 3 o'clock. writes
Colonel John Hay In the Century. He

o'clock, but long before that hour
struck the doors were besieged by anx-
ious crowds. through whom the people

OF congress. elbowed their way after
the fashion which still survives. On
days when the cabinet met. Tuesdays
and Fridays. the hour OF noon closed
the interviews OF morning. On other

about that hour 10 order the doors TO
be opened and all who were waiting 10

who filled the corridors between his
oliIce and the rooms at the west end
OF the house occupied by the family.
The afternoon wore away In much
the same manner rs the morning; late
IN the day he usually drove out for
an hours airing; at 9 o'clock he dined.
He was one OF the most abstemious
OF men; the pleasures OF the table
had few attractions for him. His
breakfast was an egg and cup OF
coffee; at luncheon he rarely took
more than biscuit and glass OF
milk, a plate OF fruit In It's season; at
dinner he ate sparingiy OF one or two
courses He drank little or no wine
not that he remained always on prin.
ciplc total abstainer as he was a
part OF his early life In the fervor OF
the .'Washingtonian" reform; but he
never cared for wine or liquors OF any
sort. and never used tobacco.

While In most parts OF the world.
except Africa, slave catching is be-
coming a thing a the past, the practice
is still carried on to some extent In
Tonkin In spite OF the efforts of the
French 10 put an end to IT, The
slaves who are wanted there are only
women and children. Slave dealers
find women and children In the forests,
away from the villages. drag them
\ into the mountains and sell them TO
Chinese merchants, who carry them
into the western provinces OF China
and sell them 10 rich families. The
odious traffic began about twenty-five
years ago. The practice OF exporting
them as slaves came about In this
way:
In 1865 the Chinese soldiers who
invaded Tonkin, which was la revolt
against China. found themselves en-
numbered by prisoners taken from the
Tonkinese. They did not know what
10 do with the prisoners. but at last
decided TO ship them TO China and see
II they could not sell them. Ii was mt
this time that emigration agencies
were recruiting In China thousands Of
workmen 10 toll on the guano islands
OF Chilli. The hundreds OF male pris-
oners were easily disposed OF TO these
emigration agents. and the women
aud children who were among the un-
fortunates were sold 10 well-to-do
Chinese.
This opened n new trade. although
at first IL was not easy 20 sell the
women. because wealthy families
did not wish TO have servants with
black teeth. the result OF the
practice OF bctal nut chewing. So
small price. however. was asked for
them that all the women were finally
sold. To-day these women are In
much demand In some parts OF West
ern China. As servants they are gen.
tie. obedient and laborious. and are so
highly esteemed that they command a
good price. IL Is very lucrative
trade. and hundreds OF poor women
are every year dragged away from
their homes by these pitiless dealers
OF human flesh. Many Chinese are
engaged In the business.
II Is gratifying TO hear that the
French are making good progress In
their efforts 20 stamp out the traffic.
They have visited very severe punish
ment upon some Chinese whom they
have caught stealing women.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, was born
in Kelvedon, Essex, England, IT, June 10Th
1884. In the whole history of the nom
conformist movement in that country
there is no men who has occupied a
more prominent position. He came
from a family of clergymen, his father
and grandfather both being preachers
of the Independent denomination.
When sixteen years old he became
teacher in a school ct Newmarket
which town by the way is in two
counties, the north side in Suffolk and
the south side in Cambridgeshire.
Afterwards he was attached to a
school in Cambridge. While there he
joined an association of lay preachers
and at the early age of 1S he was
pastor of a Baptist congregation at
Waterbeach. His preaching attracted
attention and year later he received
a call to the New Park street Baptist
Chapel in Southwark, London.
So great were the crowds who flocked
to hear him, that the congregation
were obliged to find larger accom-
modations, first in Exeter Hall and
afterwards in the Surrey Music Hall.
In Newington Butte, a chapel was
erected for his congregation capable
of seating six thousand. Mr.. Spurgeon,
has personal magnetism in preaching
that is marvellous. Each hearer is
impressed with the idea that he alone
is addressed which accounts for his
extraordinary popularity. He has re.
ceived upwards Of 10000 persons into
his church and about forty chapels
have been erected in London by his
followers, the ministers of which have
graduated from a college founded by
himself. His energy and activity are
oouDdless, and some twenty volumes
of his sermons have been published.
Among his works are "Gems'' vol
ume containing brilliant passages from
his discourses. 1.-THE Saint and his
Saviour" John Ploughman's Talk,
or Plain Advice for Plain People"
Feathers for Arrows'' Lectures to
my Students" He is also the editor
of a journal The Sword and Trowel.
Mr.. Spurgeon, has a fine expressive
countenance which is full of earnest
ness. His sermons are listened to
attentively by members of all religious
denominations.

were accompanied by Nelson Carrall
and John G. Kammerer, both Millvil-

were worth sufficient to guarantee the
security, and then signed the $1,000.
bail bond. After all the usual formal.
ties, the party shook hands with
Mayor Dubois and entering their car
riage, drove off home again.

NEW JERSEY mooNsHINERs.
They Were Caught In Burlington
Woods.

The attention of a Government off
cial has just been called to the fact
that for soms time past moonshine
whiskey has been manufactured in q
quiet spot in the pines of Burlington
county, only few miles from Pember
ton. 1t has long been mystery how
some of the impecunious pine hawkers
managed to keep numb drunk all the
time without ever going to the town
for fresh supply of the ardent; but
recently the cat was let out of the bag
by relative OF Owley Lemon, king of
the pine-hawker; who followed one
OF the moonshiners to deserted char
coal pit in southampton township,
and there found small distillery in
full blast. The liquor thus manufac
tured Is consumed by the home trade,
as it of such villaiuous character
that few outsiders would care to take
second drink of it.

MANY INFERIOR PEACHES.
A Dtsqu1eting Report From Del
aware as to the Prospects,.

WILMINGTON, Del, July 1O.-A we'll
known railroad man says there will be
much disappointment concerning the
peach crop this year. The growers
and the agents of the Delaware Rail.
road and of the steamboat lines on the
Peninsula have been making large es-
Inmates and extensive arrangements
for handling the fruit, but the esti-
mates will fall short.
The trees are crowded with fruit, but
those of the early varieties are rotting
in great numbers. The fruit that is
now maturing is of inferior quality and
small, taking great many to fill the
basket. The trees of the late varieties
are so full that the growth of
all of them is retarded. The June
drop" was not very large and the
fruit has not thinned out enough.
There are great many peaches be-
ing shipped now, but they are not
what they should be.
