Beecher to Ingersoll.

Once Col. Ingersoll was thrown in
to the society of Henry Ward Beech
er. There were four or five gentle
men present. A variety of topics
were discussed with decided brilliancy
but no allusion made to religion.
Finally one of the party, desiring to
see tilt between Bob and Beecher,
made a playful remark about Col.
Ingersoll's idiosyncrasy, as he termed
it. The colonel at once defended his
views in his usual apt rhetoric. Mr..
Beecher remained an abstracted
listener and said not a word. The
gentleman who introduced the topic,
with the hope that Mr.. Beecher would
answer Col. Ingersoll, at last remark
ed.
"Mr. Beecher, have you nothing to
say on this question ?"
The old man slowly lifted himself
from his attitude and replied
Nothing; in fact, if you will ex-
cuse me for changing the conversa-
ton, 1 will say that while you gentle
men were talking my mind was bent
upon a most deplorable spectacle
which / witnessed to-day"
"What was it?" at once inquired
Col. Ingersoll, who, Notwithstanding
his peculiar views Of the hereafter, is
noted for his kindness of heart.
"Why," said Mr.. Beecher, "as l
was walking down town to-day I saw
a poor, lame man with crutches slowly
and carefully picking his way through
a cesspool of mud, in the endeavor to
cross the street. He had just reached
the middle Of the filth when a great,
big, burly ruffian, himself all bespat-
tered, rushed up to him, and jerking
the crutches from under the unfortun-
ate man, left him sprawling and help
less in the pool of liquid dirt, which
almost engulfed him."
"What brute he was" said Col.
Ingersoll.
"What brute he was," they all
echoed.
"Yes," said the old man, rising
from his chair and brushing back his
long, white hair, while his eyes glitter
ed with their old time fire as he bent
them OH Col. Ingersoll Eyes, Col.
Ingersoll and you are that man. The
human soul is lame, but Christianity
gives it the crutches to enable it to
pass across the pathway of life. 1t is
your teachings that knock these
crutches from under it and leave it a
helpless and rudderless wreck in the
slough of despond. If robbing the
human soul of its only support on this
earth-religion-be your profession,
why, ply it to your hearts content.
1t requires an architect to erect a
building an incendiary may reduce
it to ashes"
The old man sat down and silence
brooded over the scene. Col. Inger-
soil found that he had a master in his
own power of illustration and said
nothing.-Ex.

the Deep to the far West.

On steamboats,, cars and stage coaches,
Hostetters's Stomach Bitters is carried as
the most important item in the materia
medica of the travelling public. 1t Itdeprives
vitiated, brackish water of its hurtful prop
critics and execrable flavor, counteracts the
pernicious effects upon the stomach of bad
or indigestible food, remedies cramps, heart
burn and wind upon the stomach. 1t is a
fine defense against malarial disorders, null
ifes the effects of excessive heat, cold and
damp, relieves sick headache, and is an in
comparable cure for costiveness and bilious
ness. The fatigue of travel often tells most
disastrously upon invalids and GONZALES
cents, occasionally to such an extent rs to
jeopardize life. Persons in feeble health,
apprehensive Of bad effects from travel, will
il provided with the Bitters, be far less
likely to have their fears realized.

The Superior Savings Bank.

ne superior Savings baIlk.
In another place in to-day's issue will
be found tho advertisement of the
Superior Savings Banks, an institution
which has grown deservedly popular
in the copper country during the year
OF its existence, and is now reaching ont
for further business. OF it the Mining
Journal Of the 4th inst. says:
1t is just one year since the doors of
the Superior Savings bank at Hancock
were thrown open to the public. As a
strictly savings depository-as q saw
ings bank in the true sense of the term,
it was the brst venture OF the kind OH
the Uppe- Peninsula, aud as is usual at
the Inauguration of any new departure,
there was many wise shake of the head
by men who thought they knew oil
about banking aud commercial matters
in general. Bnt the officers and direct
ors were men OF sterling business quail
ties-men who enjoyed the confidence
of the whole community and it did moi
take long to demonstrate that there
was field for such an institution here,
From the fact that all savings banks
OF the lower peninsula were paying 4
per cent interest per aunum on saving:
deposits " len the customary rates ul
loans is but 6 and per cent, it !
deemed wise and proper to make the
rate per cent. o depositors here
especially as the usual rate on loans II
this section is 3 per cent, and, as al
other banks Immediately followed sui,
and increased tho rate allowed to saw
| ings depositors from 3 to per cent, il
is safe to say that the savings depo it
ers Of Houghton county have profitet
by this acton of the Superior Saving,
hank to the extent of $4,000 annual,
in the increased interest allowed OF
their deposits.
The Mining Journal Representative,
gathers fir I'M the frat annual report o
the cashier the following facts: Their,
NE now 485 regular d.positors at tin
bank; the aggregate deposits wer,
something over $50, 600, and the tota
net profit or interest return was nearly
81 per cent for the year.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders another $4,000 was carried 3,
the surplus fund, making $1,000 of til,
| lrotits that have beeh placed to til,
credit of the surplus fund in the firs
year of the banks operations; certainl.
q very satisfactory condition, and on,
that the depositors as we'll as the stock
holders will appreciate.

WHY SNOW IS WHITE.
All tho Elemsntary Coiors Arc blended
Together In tho Crystals.

All tho Elementary Col0rs Are blended
Together In tho Crystals.
The pure white luster OF snow is
due to the fact that all the elementary
colors Of light are blended together in
the radiance that Is thrown of from
the surface of the crystals. 1t is quite
possible TO examine the individual
snow crystals in such way as TO de-
tect these several colors before they
are mingled together to constitute the
compound impression OF whiteness up
on the eye. The snow Is then clothed
with ali the varied hues of the rain
bow. The soft whiteness of the snow
Is also in somo degree referable to the
