In Mortal Peril.

DR.. G. G. Abbott, in Cuttings at Odd
Times" tells tragic tale of an advent
ure which once befen an old lady, ''long,
long ago." The spot where she lived
was almost wilderness, and was beset
with the perils of new and scantily set
tied land.
The now almost forgotten Camden
and Amboy railroad was in operation,
but though scarcely mile distant, it
was as nothing to her. She knew nei
ther what nor where it was. But where
the best whortleberries grew, in the back
swamp, that was knowledge worth her
possessing.
Although her cousin Abijah had killed
bear there during the winter, she did
not stop to think of that, but one day
started for berries where few men
would care to follow. With a light
heart she gathered and gathered, until
at length an ominous shrieking fell upon
her ears.
''Could it be another bear?' thought
she, and turned her face homeward. Her
big basket was not quite full, and there
were such loads of fruit within easy
reach! This was tantalizng, but all hel
doubt vanished with the second shriller
more unearthly scream.
The path was no longer plain, nor was
she surefooted. AS she pitched reck
leasly forward the berries were bounced
by handfuls from her basket, and finally
IN despair she threw aside the basket
itself.
And still sounded through the swamp
the terrible screeching of that angry
bear. At last she could see her cottage
through the thickly set trees, but not SC
plainly the tortuous path. One missteI
and she sank waist deep in the yielding
mud of an old well, and there she stood
screaming until her husband. came to the
rescue.
"Do be still, Hannah" wasihis first re-
mark, after she had chokingly- called his
attention to the still audible-cries of the
bear, 'that's only the new tangled steam
ingine whistlm'w
"And to think" the old lady was
wont to remark, on concluding this
story, 'to think lost all them.beautifu]

MAKING DIAMONDS GROW.

hlazed. .sThat is worth at the least

.How is it that you can afford to buy
inch a valuable stone as thatT asked

will put you on to the snap" said
the jeweler. "That stone has been grow
ing for year, and think it has got its
growth"
"What do you mean by diamond
growfngr asked the friend.
s1 will tell you. You remember the
little spark 1 had in my scarfpin Christ
mas. Well, this is what it has grown
to in less than a year. That little stone
cost me q dollar and the pin cost me
s2.8O. sold the pin for IS, and bought
an eight carat stone little off shade for
. trife over$5. I bought stud setting.
You know you can get those thingsquite
low now. They are made up by the
thousands by firms which do not take
finished goods. Well, put the stone in
the setting on spiral and sold it the
same week for $18. Then I went to the
Office and bought the best stone could
get for SIS and mounted that in the
same manner. wore it month and
then sold it for $50, and put SOS into
another stone. 1t was a little beauty,
and traded it for another one of about
the same size, and got s. to boot. That
put the stone down to $50, and put it
into setting which cost me s., and sold
it few days later for $35. Igot another
stone for $50, and had it two months be-
fore made turn with it; then cleared
$12 and put the money into beautiful
stone, which brought me up to $50, when
I sold it in handsome stud setting.
''Then got a chance to sell ring for
SIS, and / made it to order, putting in
stone which cost me $42.50. put the
whole SIS into another stone, which l
carried around for while, and had
fully made up my mind to keep, but
butcher offered me 800 for it and I sold
it to him. 1t was in a crown setting,
which cost me $6.25. For the hundred
got dandy stone, and was sure I
could keep that one, but have had four
better ones since, and have got up to
$50. I can't go much higher than that,
I guess, for there are few men among
my acquaintance who can afford to
tempt me with a profitable offer for it.
wouldn't sell it tonight for 5000, be-
cause know that have got bargain.
I'm a pretty good judge of diamonds,
and when I put that stone into nice
ring I will make it look like $3.50 worth,
and don't think that anybody can per-
sudade me to sell it for anything less. In
all the changes don't think that have
put in more than $16 or $1S of my pocket
money. The rest has all been profit on

ON To CINCINNATI.

The rans-Misssouri passenger as
ISOLATION has declined to grant any
special rates west Of Kansas City.
Mr.. Nicholson, of the Santa Fe, and
others have made an earnest effort to
secure rates, but they have been re-
fused. We are not at present in
formed what road is responsible for
the failure. It will be necessary, In
consequence of this action, for Kan
sas delegates to purchase tickets only
to Kansas City, for which they will
have to pay full fare. From Kansas
City to Cincinnati rate has been
granted of one fare for the round
trip. The east bound trains provided
for the delegates will leave Kansas
City on Sunday morning at an early
hour. 1t is therefore advisable to
center at that point on Saturday
evening. Headquarters Of the Re
form Press Association will be at the
Blossom House, which is in the Union
depot building. The routes from
Kansas City to St Louis will be over
the Chicago & Alton and the Wa
bash roads. 1t is learned by good
authority that the Wabash has
been very active in demanding
and securing the one fare rate,
and ss the Kansas delegation is ex-
pected to be very large it is deemed
both fair and expedient to give the
Wabash a portion of the business in
recognition of it's earnest efforts.
The disposition of the party can be
satisfactorily arranged on the arrival
of delegates at Kansas City.

FACTS THAT SUGGEST AN INQUIRY.
From the argument of Postmaster
General Wansmaker, favoring the es-
tablishment of postal savings banks
in che United States, we quote the
following from the experience Of
Great Britain:
The fact that they have met the anticipatiOnS
Of their founders and have proved beneficial,
even beyond expectations, Is best shown by the
statistics Of the latest report Of the British post
master general, that for the year ended March
81, 1890. wherein 1t appears that the number Of
post Office savings banks Is 1883, the total
amount standing to the credit, Of depOStOrs Is
e62 9,62O (at $4.S7 to the pound, equivalent to
$3O6 68O8, ,l49) and that In England and Wales the
number OF accounts was one to every seven Of
population; In Scotland one to every twenty-five,
and In ireland one to every twenty-five, an
average In the whole United Kingdom Of one de-
posltOr to every eight Inhabitants, with an
average balance to the credit Of each depositOr
Of nearly el4 (6S1s) The increase In the
amount to the credit Of depodtors for the single
year ending December 81, 1889, was nearly
a45OOOOO 1921 ,9l6 OOO) and the interest credited
to them that one year was nearly el,5OO, ,OC0
(s7,SO5,OOO.)
It must be remembered that in this
report only the industrial classes are
included; and if there is an average
of one in every eight of the entire
population of the United Kingdom,
men, women and children, who have
a deposit in the postal savings banks
of the average amount Of $6818,
when the wealthy and non-producing
classes are excluded as not among
these small depositors, the list must
include nearly every man and woman
in the realm. This in the free trade
kingdom of Great Britain. What
proportion of the industrial classes
of America, where we are 80 glorious
ly protected from the pauper labor of
Europe, have deposits Of $68 to their
credit in the savings banks OF this
country? VIII some of the enthusi-

The charges are In effect that Gen.
Ordway in a lecture to the officers on

reasonable and incendiary; calculated
to create in the minds of the militia
officers a sense of their superiority TO the
law, excessive fear of the dangers TO be
encountered in the line of their duty and
a bitter hatred and bloodthirsty vindic-
tiveness toward such people as they may
be called upon to restrain In the interest
of peace and good order.
Also, that when he abandoned the field

Bullins of the Revere Bank, where Mr..
Potter is director. Their liabilities are
estimated at about 81 100000.
The firm has done a business of S20,-
100000 a year, and the failure gives the
mercantile community a decided shock,
although during the past three years
there has been more or less talk to the
effect that the firms condition was not
of the best.
The firm is composed of John G. Pot
ter H. NJ. Stephens and Frank @. Potter.
John G. Potter is the only living mem
ber Of the original firm. In June, 1886,
Mr.. Potter admitted his son, Frank c.,
and Mr.. Stephens the latter having long
been an employe of the house The
firms factories are at Pennington, n. H.,
and Cochituate, Mass.
The Hill failure is believed to have
been the immediate cause of the failure.
The slump in the Western and Southern
trade also has much to do with it. Mem
bers of the firm declined to talk of the
failure and referred all inquirers to their
counsel. The latter, however, is out Of
