CHAPTER XVIII.

On the night of July 9, 1868, 1 started to
Kentucky with much larger body of men
than i had ever undertaken TO pilot through
the mountains on any previous occasion.
The most of this company consisted of men
who had been employed in working for the
so-called Southern Conlederacy in the FORCES
and saltpeter works, and having no conf
dence in their exemption papers, they were
expecting to be placed in the rebel army at
sny time, and in order to obtain q more sure
exemption bad determined 10 go to Kentucky.
The times were not propitious for going into
the mountains near their homes, as the reb-
els seemed TO be everywhere, and being well
aware that numbers of men were running

Pig-Iron Kelley Downs MIR. Springer.

Speaking OF porcelain reminds one of an
episode that occurred in the House of Rep
resentatives several years ago, when tariff
debate was on. The question directly up for
discussion was something in connection with
pottery, and Judge William d. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, was taking leading part in it. The
father OF protection, as he was properly called,
was firm believer In the value of object lessons
30 he was teaching one to the House on this
occasion.
Resting on his desk was huge piece of pot
terry, and 1t was as beautiful as it was big. Its
ground color WAS burnished copper, and climb
ing about over it was grape vine whose foliage
and fruit stood ont in striking lfelikeness.
Twining his arms lovingly about the top Of
tho piece. Judge Kelley began. He was q pom
derous speaker His carly experience as an
actor in the days when the pronunciation Of
every syllable in every sentence was consider
ed the sine qua non OF elegant oratory had
molded his manner of speaking, and he was
great relief in his calm and slow expression
from the rapid 400 words a. minute men who
comprised his colleagues.
Mister Speaker" said he, "the raw ma to-
rial in this work of art cost eighty five cents
The work upon it cost eighty five
dollars. At the man. factory in New Jer-
sey, where it was made, the whole. sale price
Of it was nine ty-six dollars. At the store
in this city where it is sold at retail, it cost
one hundred and twen-ty.sev.en dollars.
You will perceive, Mis-ter"-
But right here Mr.. Springer concluded that
1t wouldn't do for Judge Kelley to proceed any
further with an object lesson which was going
to show that labor was about the only thing
protected when it came to pottery. so he rose,
and, pointing his finger in satiricai way
toward the Pennsylvania sarcasticalIy said:
Mr.. Speaker, what is that thing?" The
man whom his critics irreverently termed
"Pig Iron" never removed his arms from
the artistic creation. Raising his voice higher,
he replied.
Mr.. Speaker, in n-li-noi-y it would be
called spit toon; in Penn-syl-va. MIA, sir,
We call it VASE!"
In the roar that followed Mr. Springer sat
down, and even his button hole bouquet wlted.

Prescribed Christmas,

In this year of our Lord 1892 can we realize
that at one time the observance of Christmas
Day was prescribed by the Puritans of New
England? They were 50 afraid of what they
called Popish cnst0fis, Chat they defrauded
themselves Of the best features of the Christian
observances They have row bravely outgrown
their early narrowncss, to the great honor of
both manhood and religion.

MINISTERIAL LIFE INSURANCE.

MINISTERIAL LIFE INSURANCE.
 1 was very much impressed with the benefits of the Clerical Mutual associa- tlon, as shown in the annual startment coming to hand, at the same time that I learned of the death of bl lother minis ter, who left his dear wife and children with scarcely no means to aid them in their struggle with this world, just as most of us would have to do if dependent only on our salary without the aid of the c. M. A. This association is confined to ministers and has all the advantages of life insurance, with only about one half of the expense.
 The expense is an annual tax of $2 and the mortuary dues, fixed amount to be paid on the death of fellow mem- Der. These dues vary according to the age at which the person enters the asso- citation.
 The average annual dues for one who joined when under 30, for the last l6 years, has been $9 s5 for 5000. For one joining between 30 and 35, it has been sS1I O3.
 Then, when paying our dues. it is like contributing so much to aid brothers family, as every dollar of it goes direct ly into the hands of the family, the run ming expense of the association being met by the annual tax. Then the com fort that it brings to feel that, if we are taken off, our family will have some $3000 or $4o00 to help them along.

A quantity of grain for the famine suf- ferers has arrived in Russia, but it is inn possible to distribute it among the peas ants in the surrounding country owing to the fact that nearly all the horses have been killed for food or sold to pro- cure money with which to buy the abso- lute necessaries of life. It is estimated that several million draught animals have been killed throughout the empire since Autumn. Typhus fever, small pox and diphtheria are decimating the inhab- itants.

MRS SARAH E. BoLLEs.

Entered into the rest of Paradise, Feb ruary 3, 1892, Mrs Sarah E. Bolles, aged 3l years. Mrs Bolles had been an inva- lid for a long time and a great sufferer for many moths, but she bore Sher cross uncomplainingly, with patience and submission begotten not of earth. Dur ing the past few weeks, she grew weaker day by day, nntil, at the early dawn of Tuesday morning, she who so long had pressed the couch of pain gently closed her eyes and took farewell.
 "Our God hath marked each sorrowing day
 And numbered every secret tear;
 And Heavens long age of bliss shall pay
 For all His children suffer here."
 The funeral was largely attended from St. Paul's church, of which Mrs Bolles was member, Friday of last week, the choir rendering sweetly the hymns, II Would Not Live Away" and My God.

Look at the sky! was the involuntary exclamation that came from thousands of lips at about quarter after o'clock last night. From the constellation of the Great Bear in the north to Cassiopeia, ssthe Lady in the Chair, about one third of the distance to the south and extend ing about 60 degrees from the horizon, the heavens were illumined by soft, reddish light. It grew more and more brilliant and gradually extended toward the zenith. Then the ruddy hue began to soften into rosy pink and as it did, great broad bands of white light spread vertically from the horizon to the zenith. Not for single minute did the color re- main unchanged. In the middle of the illuminated part of the heaven, it grew blood red, while on the edges the pink tint was so delicate that the stars were distinctly visible throughout. The rest of the sky in comparison seemed darker and, on this background, the phenome- non formed spectacle of marvellous beauty. TNew York Sunday Herald.
