HoNEsrY-Eugene Smith, secretary
of the New York Prison association,
tells a remarkable story of the ans
wer a thief gave to the question, "Is
honesvv the best policy?" 1t was in
the Elmira reformatory, where a class
was undergoing instruction. A young
man asked permission to answer the
question. Il believe honesty is the
best policy" said he, 'because of a
case where l knew it to work that
way. See? There was two young fell
lows in New York and they was
crooked, see? and they didn't sue
ceed. They went to Philadelphia,
and they turned over new leaf and
agreed to be square and honest.
They opened clothing store, see /?
and they prospered. They got every
body's confidence, and they borrowed
100000 to enlarge their business,
and then they failed and got away
with every cent of the money, which
they never could have done if they
hadn't been honest. See ?-SdR

When Gen. Sherman's death was
announced in the senate, Senator
Hawley of Connecticut delivered a
eulogy on the life and services of the
old warrior. In closing his speech
he read this quotation from Pilgrims
Progress, in a voice breaking with
emotion:
"After this it was noised about
that Mr.. Valiant for truth was taken
with summons. When he under
stood it he called for his friends and
told them of it. Then, said he, am
going TO my fathers and though with
great difficulty l got hither, yet now
l do not repent of all the trouble /
have been at to arrive where | am.
My sword | gave to him who shall
succeed me in my pilgrimage, and
my courage and skill to him that can
get them. Ny marks and scars |
carry with me to be witness for me
that | have fought his battles who
will now be a rewarder. When the
day that he must go hence was come,
many accompanied him to the river
side, into which as he went he said,
Death, where is thy sting? and as he
went down deeper he said, Grave,
whereRs thy victory? So he passed
over, and all the trumpets sounded
for him on the other side

Fast Day Proclamation.

Implanted in the breast of every human
being is a spirit of worship, which from
the earliest days has found expression Ia
fasting and prayer. To establish civil
and religious liberty on foreign shore,
our pilgrim fathers endured privations
and hardships unknown to our generation.
With numbers decimated by the rigors OF
their first New England winter they met
in early springtime and instituted that
day of fasting and prayer which has been
observed by their children and their chill
dren's children until it has become time
honored.
In obedience to this custom, and in de-
vOut recognition of our duty as people
to Almighty God, [ do hereby appoint
Friday, the third day of April next, as a
day of fasting and prayer. Let US on
that day, abstaining from all unnecessary
labor, assemble in our accustomed places
of worship, and devoutly recognize that
over-ruling Providence which has direct
ed us with unerring wisdom, and favored
US with manifold blessings, humbly IN
voking His guidance to the end thatin-
temperance and its accompanying evils
NAV be removed from our borders; that
the industrial, educational, and religious
interests of our state may be encouraged
and fostered; that integrity and virtue
NAV be more and more practiced and ap-
preciated; and that peace, cOntentnsent,
and prosperity may be vouchsafed to US
a state and nation.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the executive chamber, at Hyde Park, this
18th day of March, A. d. 1891.
By the Governor, CARROLL S. PAGE.

Secretary Of Military and Ctoa Affairs.

The young lawyer of this city who
went "over the hilr' to the house of
correction 4ately has reached the low
est round in his downward career.
A native of a neighboring town, he
had all the advantages that our New
England life affords. When he en-
tered on his profession a few years
ago in Nashua he had as fair pros
poets as any young man who has
hung out shingle here. He mar
ried the daughter of one of Nashua s
best known citizens, and thus enter
ed on a career that promised both
happiness and success. A few short
years and what change. The young
lawyer himself has become prison.
er at the bar. The wife that he prom
ised to cherish he has again and again
brutally assailed. The chill lren that
he should have nurtured and cared
for are left foodless and homeless in
a very cold world. All this comes
from the drink habit, and its alder
and abettor of the saloon. What a
black and fiendish thing it is, to be
sure.-Nashua Telegraph.

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to appropriate money to lay an
ocean cable between San Francisco
and Hawaii. This action Is deemed
necessary because of overtures which
are being made for the purpose of
connecting Victoria, B. c.. with the
same place by cable, thence extend
ing the line onward to touch other
British possessions, the avowed pur-
pose of England being to secure a
larger share of the Oceanic trade. 1t
has special opportunities for doing
so owing to its ownership of Austria
liza and many tributary islands. What
the final action of the United States
government will be is impossible to
say, but it is evident that some move
must be made at once if the hold on
the Hawaiian islands is to be main
tanned.

The Rutland Herald is making
righteous warfare upon County clerk
Henry II. Smith of that town, whose
scandalous doing have long been a
matter of State notoriety. He has
compelled his wife to flee from her
home and in her place has installed a
woman of another sort, and now
to shield himself by charging infidel-
ity against his wife, charge that no
one in Rutland believes. The Her
aid demands the removal of Smith.
If the judges don't GUST him they
ought to get out themselves. This
thing has disgraced the County of
Rutland as long as she can afford it.

OUR SALT LAKE.

The San Francisco fakist has got
another Hawaiian sensation "a true
one but picked chestnut. 1t is
this, telegraphed far and vide: "a
wonderful lake, named Ala Paakaia,
has been discovered in the Hawaiian
Islands. The waters are more salt
than those of the Dead Sea. In
composition the water approaches
closely that of the Dead Sea-" This
great discovery must have been
made by the traditional Spanish yoy-
ayers who were here long before
Captain Cook. The rim of the ex-
tirct crater in which it is situated is
in full view from heights In Homo
lulu. And nobody here knows a
time when the lake was waiting to be
discovered. The most wonderful
thing about the chestnut is that both

the lake is with vengeance. AL
though mile or two from the sea,
the tide rises and falls in the lake.
The salt forms at low tide on the
bottom of the lake one or two feet
thick, and when the tide returns the

Montreal is agitated over PROPOSE
tons for electric street railways, the
horse car system Of that city being
about the worst in the world. The
Montreal Witness has copied the
editorial on electric street railways
which lately appeared IN the BULLE-

would be enormously benefited in
quick transit if its street railway
company would copy the punctuality
Of the Honolulu street cars. Thou
sands of Montrealers never count on
the cars when going to and from
their avocatlons, because they can
never tell what time car will be al
a given point. Here as a rule one
can set his watch by the cars.
