Serious Condition of chinese Analrs.


The Chinese are having lots of trouble.
Their attempts to exterminate the mission
aries have brought to their ports numerous
foreign war vessels, and it is among the
possibilities that the great seacoast cities
of the empire may be bombarded. Be-
sides, the land from end to end is afflicted
with drought, which causes much alarm
and distress. In many provinces little i'm
ages of the god of war are put out in the
sun to scorch, so that the deity may appre-
ciate the dry and parching condition of his
subjects. At one famous monastery in
Hantanshien numbers of iron tablets are
kept in sacred well, and when rain is
wanted in any particular district tablet
is taken out of the well solemnly by the
priest and sent to the distressed region.
The bearer is obliged to travel night and
day, for the inhabitants of other districts
are on the lookout to intercept the tablet
and secure its virtues for their neighbor-
hood. On its arrival the tablet is wor-
SHIPPED until the rain appears, when it is
sent back again with similar tablet bear
ing the date and record of the event.

Spinner and the Treasury.

The United States treasury and it's officials
have had several scares. General Spinner,
who used to have six or eight millions of
dollars in charge, was made nervous by his
great responsibility. 1t was his custom to
see in person if the vault doors were
locked before going to his hotel, just across
the street. He would even get up in the
night and go over and make an examina-
ton with his own eyes. One night, despite
all his precautions, he found vault door
open. The next day he moved his bed to
the treasury and slept there every night by
the side of the millions for which he was
responsible as long as he held the Office of
treasurer

A HANDSOME BRIDE.

Miss May Talmage to Wed a Rich Grain

Miss May Mortimer Talmage, whose en-

wealthy young grain merchant, has just

preacher, Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage. She

SAM HOUSTON.

Houston-whom they know from their
school histories to have been twice repre-
sentative from Tennessee in congress, gov
ernor of Tennessee, commander in chief OF
the armies of Texas, twice president of the
republic of Texas, her representative for
two terms in the United States senate, and
also twice her governor-did he walk these
pathways, did he converse with their IA
theirs? No wonder they can hardly realize
that this man, one of the most remarkable
known to history, and whose career was
''as brilliant and in some respects as err
ratio as the comet in its widest flights, F"
could have passed several years in the very
town where they themselves live. Yet the
few Walker county veterans who have not
yet responded to the last reveille well re-
member his majestic form, his soft and
clear eye, which beamed upon all with a
smile that won many friends.
Houston's homestead stands at the foot
of one of the hills that make the little city
of Huntsville picturesque. Indeed there
are so many of these hills traversed by
small streams and gullies that it is hard
matter to find level spots upon which to
erect residences. Houston's house, which
he occupied when he first settled in Hunts
vile, however, is in one of the loveliest
valleys to be seen anywhere. Situated
about mile from the business portion of
the CITY, it furnished a quiet retreat for
the old warrior when not engaged in pub
lie duties. In front is a clear space giving
a broad view of the surrounding country
for several miles. The rear is shaded by a
dense forest of pine. oak and hickory.
Not a stones throw from the house flows
small stream of clear, sparkling water,
and farther away a beautiful spring bub-
bles to the surface. The house itself, like
all others constructed in Texas years ago,
was built more for convenience and ability
to Withstand the ravages of time than for
ornament. 1t is neat, well preserved,
one story building, and though several
rooms have been added by the present own
ers, it is not otherwise changed from what
it was when the home of Houston and his
family.
After Houston's retirement from the
Texas capital his life was uneventful. He
suffered from few physical ailments, but
the wounds he received in his Indian bat.
ties were never healed and no doubt has
tened his death, which occurred on the Goth
day of July, 1863
The house where Houston died is about
two miles from his first residence When
viewed at a distance it looks like a ship.
The windows are small and narrow, and
what appears like deck can be plainly
vanishes and in its place is seen only a
quaint house. 1t is said to have been built
by sea captain, whose intention was tc

make it resemble a steamship and thus
remind him of the ocean he had dwelt
upon for many years. However, he failed
to complete his design, and the remainder
of the building was fitted up like an ordi-
nary two story house.
But of all the places of interest connected
with the hero of San Jacinto in Huntsville
none has attracted more attention and COM
ment than his last resting place
The summer rain beats on this lonely sod,
Where sleeps a hero with an honored name;
One who in ancient times had been god,
And worshiped in the highest shrine of
fame.
But here moves on the silent seasons tread.
And deeper grows the dust above his un-
marked bed.
Who in the temple Of the gods should dwell,
If genius claims place in such fame,
Sleeps here, naught his burial place to tell,
Save where green Nature hath her fingers
lain,
Or some old comrade with thoughtful hand
Hath set a stone to keep his record grand.
The only thing that marks its identity is
q plain marble shaft, about five feet high,
upon which is inscribed the following:

The Peary Party Stuck In the Ice off
Green Island.

BOSTON, Mass, July 14.-The Arctic
steamer, bearing the Peary expedition and
the representatives Of the Philadelphia
Academy Of Natural Sciences, bent on the
exploration of Greenland, has been heard
from, stories of her adventures having
reached this city. The Kite reached Green
Island at noon June Is, to find the Straits of
Belle Isle blocked by mass of pack ice, in
some places from II to 20 feet thick.
The steamer left Sydney, N. s., on Friday,
the 18th. at o'clock. On Saturday it blew
great gale and the Kite staggered against
head wind that wouldn't let her make more
than two knots an hour for long time.
At Sydney the best of Peary's Newfound-
land dogs eIoped. Professor Sharp, DR..
Hughes and DR.. Burke had made good use
OF their time at Sydney, the first two shoot
Ing birds and the latter bOtaniZlng. They
collected enough material to keep them busy
for two days.
On, the following Saturday the weather
was beautiful. The morning opened with a
fog, and at O'Clock they ran into pack ice,
and for over an hour were practically help
less. BY and by the fog lifted and the crew
found that the pack extended over to the
coast OF Labrador. but that Newfoundland
was clear.
They steered along the edge until they
came to Green Island, where they remained
at standstlll. A large number of whales
have been sighted coming up to the straits.
Inc detention at Green Island is considered
a feather in the cap of Captain Pike. who
urged strongly against the Kite taking this
route so early in the season. He wanted to

CoWARDLY hANLoN vAchoN.
Broke Into a House and Murdered a
Defenceiess Womad.

GARDINER, July 14.-Hanlon Vachon,
French-Canadian laborer. aged about 26,
from st. Raymond, Province of Quebec, shot
and fatally wounded Mrs. Nora Landry
about midnight last night. He then commit
ted suicide, shooting himself through the
temple. For deliberate and bloody deed it
has never been equalled in this vicinity.
Vachon boarded with the Landry family,
but being taken sick they kept him until his
on which account he has held severe grudge
against them.
AS near as can be learned, Vachon went
to the house with the intention of killing
both Landry (who was out of town. and his
wife. He entered by breaking in at rear
door. The Landrys live in rooms over a
store on Main street. Being we'll acquainted
with the house he went directly to the room
and tried the door. Mrs. Landry refused to
admit him when he burst the lock. In the
dark Mrs. Landry and two children escaped
room, shooting her in the back of the head
two or three times. Then. supposing her
dead, he shot himself. The other tenants
ran out in their night clothes and gave an
alarm. Mrs. Landry was conscious all the
time the surgeons were there. and gave a
full statement of the affair. VachoD did not
recover consciousness. There is no hope of
respectable, hard-working woman, although
the house was under some suspicion on ac-
connt of hard class of boarders.
Vachon has relatives here and in Canada.
He had probably been drinking last evening,
but was not Intoxicated at the time of the
shooting He had evidently planned and de-
liberately carried out the whole affair.
