AN UNBURlED BABE.
Parent Too Poor and Lonely 20 Give
Burial to Desd Child

in a dilapidated two-storfed wooden
tenement on Danforth street, not far re-
moved from Gorham Corner, there was
to be seen, by climbing stairs that would
hardly be tolerated in Five Points New
York tenement, a sad sight, and the
plain story of it's surroundings makes it
still more sad.
In a corner of the room lay a dead
child-a handsome baby boy just rising
two months old. The little fellow had
been dead many hours and for lack of
proper undertakers' services his face
was all discolored. A few rags were
spread about the floor 10 conceal imfirm-
tiles, and there was one bright spot in
the midst of this poverty. 1t was a
beautiful piece of embroidery upon a
rich wine colored felt, with few little
grouped in the rear of the little
manlet. just above, neatly framed, hung
their marriage certificate. That was all
but these few little emblems on one side
of that povity striker room told their
own story-better days and misfortune.
This case came to the knowledge of
Rev. S. F. Pearson, of the Gospel Tenn
perance Mission, he promptly visited the
scene and offered brief and touching
prayer. Rev. Mr.. Pearson then visited
Mrs. DR.. Bray, whose husband had been
the attending physician and his wife was
much interested in the case, then Mr..
Pearson returned to the grief stricken
mother. She was utterly destitute of
means and her husband had gone to sea.
Nothing awaited her child seemingly but
an unknown pauper burial. She was
crying bitterly at the prospect
when Rev. Mr.. Pearson Gained
her and told her that her child
should receive Christian interment, that
casket would be provided; that he
would officiate at the funeral services in
the afternoon, that a hack should be pro-
vided for her and that her little one
should have resting place in the strang-
er's lot of the Gospel Mission.
The tears of thankfulness and graft
tude of that unfortunate lady-a young
and comely woman and this her first
child-cannot be described, nor can the
Unconscious "God bless you Mr.. Pearson
from the lips of those assembled.
Later on touching little funeral
service occurred with Rev. Mr..
Pearson officiating. The mother was
enabled to see her child placed at
rest and peace with all the consultations
of Christian burial, although she was
comparatively stranger, having recent
ly come from Newfoundland.

Paris Now Monkey.

The Paris Zoo is very proud of re-
cent acquisition. 1t is kind of monkey
which has qualities not popularity asso-
ciated with the ape tribe. And yet in
aicking up its precarious livelihood it
has good deal in common with the
country poacher. If it has vanity it is
for birds, and, like the poacher, it is a
nocturnal animal 1t comes from Indo-
China, and it's happy hunting grounds
are in the woods of that district. In
and out through the branches of the
trees, after shutdown and the roosting
hour has come, it makes its rounds,
and wings are no help to its prey. Hap
PLY its agility is not very great, and,
unlike the poacher of fiction, it is an
extremely ugly animal, about the size
of big rat, its legs bending out, so
that when it is on all tours its stomach
almost touches the ground. In fact, it
is like a puppy making its first essay at
walking. The Parisians are very proud
to possess it, as no other zoo in France
has it. They had to feed it on live birds
the whole way from Cochin China

read with interest:
"There is another factor at work
The great silver mines are about al
found; they are rapidly being ex
bausted. The Granite Mountain
mine, the Butte mines are breaking
down, the Comstock has abont quit
and there are great chambers all
mined out in the best mines of the
country. We think there will be a
silver famine inside Of five years, and
what our Legislators are thinking
about when they fall down in courage,
and fear to announce 70 the world
that we will take silver as money,
recognizing il fully, paying debts
with il, making purchases with il,
and IL the rest Of the world does not
like ID, no matter--we cannot under
stand. They tell us the banks are
full Of money, and that is true. They
tell us interest is low, and that is
true. And by those same tokens it
is perfectly clear that bard times pre-.
vail; that men with money dare not
invest il IN property, because proper
~ is all the time falling, or, which is
the same thing, gold is all the time
advancing. Men viii not buy proper
ty when they know that year from
today that property will be worth
less than It costs to-day. That is
what makes money plentiful; that is
what makes interest low. The men
who loan the money will loan it on
good security at very low per cent
age. IL they cannot get that, they
will leave it locked up ia the vaults
Of the banks.
"We have great hopes OF the In.
tsrnational Silver Conference, but
very many OF the beat and shrewdest
men IN the country have not, and
their reasoning is: Isn't 1t true that
Europe is buying all the silver it
wants OF us at about the cost OF pro-
ductionr They are coming that at
the rate OF about sl.30; they are
making tho difference between So
cents and sl.30. Why should they

have no mines to draw from OF their

nARRIsON's ADMINISTRATION

Hon. r NJ Morgan in Review of Reviewers
The administration of President
Harrison has been in keeping
with his personal character-clean,
able, conservative, dignified and pa
triotic. He has naturally gathered
about him men who sympathize with
him in his views and resemble him
more or less in character. The gen
eral tone OF the administration has
been impaired to it by its chief, and
there have been no grave scandals,
defaIcations or other stains to mar its
good name. The search light of po-
litical investigations, seeking cam
paign ammunition, have brought to
view nothing that challenges crit-
cism. An opposition Senator, in an
article on the administration pub
lisbed in the June number OF the
North American Review, does not
even hint at anything to the discredlt
OF his personal motives or methods;
while Senator Dawes says:
"He called into bis Cabinet as his
advisers men who commanded at
once the fullest confidence of the
country: some Of them already so
tried in the public service that they
had been designated by common con
sent for the places they filed. Some
Of them were new men in public life,
but brilliant service has in each case
proven the sagaclty and wisdom Of
the selection. Subordinate offices
have been filed with able and clean
men; commentator OF this admins
traiion does not demand or claim
that there has been no exception. In
the vast machinery Of this govern
ment, in operation at thousands of
miles beyond the eye OF the Execu-
tive. IL never has been and never can
be the case that men who operate it
will in every instance prove them
selves fit and faithful. But one who
has witnessed the successes and ms
takes of administrations in this par
ticular during nine Of these quadren
NAL periods challenges without fear
for the present administration com
parison with any or all of the others"
