The Glories Of the Yosemite.

An English traveller stood looking at the.
glories of Yosemite for the first time. He
had %journeyed 5000 miles to see the
wonderful valley. Before him in SOL.
emn grandeur rose the Cathedral Rock
The Three Brothers and the Sentinel
Dome. The Bridal Veil falls, dissolyino
in a feathery mist as the waters descended
the tremendous precipice, lit up with va
ried tints the somber majesty of the scene.
while FL CAPTAIN, mighty, o%verpowerinp'
unapproachable, seemed to frown sterniv
over all. The traveller became conscious
he was not alone. At his side, apparently
lost IN wonder, stood a stranger looking at
the marvellous scene. He addressed the

The stranger bowed his head, as if he

that this terrific gorge wa caused by

The Secret Of Keeping Young,

To keep young through advancing years
is by no means an easy task, and it might
without wide departure from the fact be
called the art of modern times. Men have
dreamed of it in all ages, and the search
for the fountain of youth Immortal has
been as keen as that for the philosophers
stone, which should transmute all things
to gold. 1t is only in heselatter days that
it is coming to be recognized that the whole
secret lies in the attitude of the mind
toward life; that it is not upon outward
resources that one is to depend, but tha-
the fountain of immortal youth is within
one or nowhere.
Mankind is seeming to realize at last that
to keep young it is in the first place neces-
sary to be young, and that the many per-
sons who are born, SO to say, in their Sec
ond or third c%hildhoods cannot remain
young because they have never been young
at all. It is realizing also that to retain
the youth when one possesses it it is need
full that one have extraordinary f1exibility
Joined to great persistence. The conditions
of life alter with advancing years, and it
is important that the attitude of the indi-
vidual toward life remains constantly that
of youth. p
It is not easy to put into words exactly
what is meant here, because the thing is
so subtle that it is we'll nigh impossible
for one to define it even to himself, and yet
those who are capable of achieving this
result are able to comprehend what is
meant. 1t is by 10 means f~rivolousne4s.
since youth may be youth without being
frivolous, and in those advanced in years
~frivolity is not youthful SO much as it is
repulsive. The incongruity which it brings
out between The years of the actor and the
role which he is playing destroys the illu.

MATCHES AMONG COTTON.

A Consignment From Savannah
Causes a Stir in New York
New YORK, Feb 6-While men were
transferring the cargo Of $50 bales of cotton
from the Savannah line lighter Louisiana
to the steamship Lepanto this afternoon, a
number of matches were found between the
bales. The Lepanto was loading at Wilson's
pier. Hoboken, and the agents,
Sanderson & Son, were Immediately
notified. They sent word that
the cotton must not be loaded. Further
investigation showed that many matches
were distributed among the bales. Sander
son q Son sent word of the discovery
to the maritime exchange, say
ing the matter would bear
thorough Investigation. Mr. Sanderson.
noon said that he knew that matches were
found and that the cotton had been shipped
by the Savannah line from Savannah.
GEN. soRREL's OPINION.
At the general office Of the Savannah line
at Pier 35, North river, General Manager
Sorrel professed ignorance of the matter
He thought IL was not serious. 81 think, :"
said he, "that some one must have dropped
few matches from his pocket by accident.
Sanderson 81 Son were perfectly right in re-
fusinR to receive the cotton until an investi>
CATION was made. This investigation is
now being made, and Is directed by Mr..
Walker, superintendent of the company in
person"
The cotton was to be sent to Antwerp by
the Lepanto, which sails tomorrow morn
ing. At the Savannah line office it was
said that the cotton had arrived within the
last week, but no one knew by what steam
ship it had arrived. Gen. Sorrel thought il
was not one consignment. He did not
know, however, where the lighter was
loaded or where it, has been since its ar

CHANGES IN COMMANDERS.
New Officers Ordered to the Cruisers
Baltimore and Charleston.

Baltimore and Charleston.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-There were some
important orders issued from the navy de-
partment to-day, interesting in view Of the
recent prospect Of a Chilean war. Capt W.
s. Schley is relieved from the command of
the cruiser Baltimore, which has occupied
such a large share of public attention, and
is placed on dufg IN charge Of the third
light house district, with headquarters at
Staten Island, n. y. relieving Capt. Il. f.
Picking, who is ordered TO command the
cruiser Charleston. which figured so promi-
nently in the Itata incident
Capt. George G. Remy is relieved from his
command and granted two months leave of
absence. The Baltimore is to be COM
manded by Capt William Whitehead, who
is at present on duty at the Boston navy
yard. He will leave that post on Feb. 10,
and will take command OF the vessel az
soon as be can make the journey across the
continent. Both the Baltimore and Charles
ton are at San Francisco.
REASON FOR THE CHANGES.
It was stated at tho navy department. this
morning that these orders bad no bearing
on the Chilean episode, as the relief of
Capts Schley and Remy is a matter OF rule.
those officers having already served more
than the regulation tirne as commanders of
of vessels. Their time expired some weeks
ago and it was at their urgent
request that no changes were
made as long as there was q
prospect of trouble. Their relief from their
vessels during such period would have
been regarded as rather severe unless there
were some specific reason for the change.
Capt. Bradford was selected some weeks
ago to succeed Capt. Schley in command of
the Baltimore, but his death at Portsmouth,
N: H., made it necessary 20 select another
officer for that duty.

BLAINE WANTS TO RUN.
NO PROSPECT OF A LETTER OF
WITHDRAWAL.

he Feels Confident That the Minneapo-
liz Convention VIII Be for Him and
THAT He Can Be Elected-The Har-
risonians Still Asserting Tret the
Premier VIII Step Out OF the Presi-
dents Path.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Secretary Blaine
has not written letter with
drawing his name from the con-
alteration Of the Minneapolis con
ventiou. so says Senator Washburn, so says
Senator Hale. so says Senator Quay, who is
toore interested in Secretary Blaine and in
his intentions than almost any one else in
Washington except President Harrison.
Eecretary Blaine has not told any Of his
friends vet in set terms what he proposes to
do. but they all insist that be will take tue
homination if it is offered to him. They say
that the rumor that he would write letter
of withdrawal is simply the same old rumor
revised. and that it hes no more TO stand on
now than it had in November.
INTENDS TO REMAIN SILENT.
They say that Blaine has no intention Of
declaring his intentions, but will wait for
tbe convention to act. II it nominates him
with substantial unanimity, a result which
they admit they are hopeful of bringing
about, he will, they say. accept the uomI-
nation. He will not be put in the position
of having sought the nomination, or of
having declined it in advance "Secretary
Blaine knows very we'll" said one of them
tonight, that the Minneapolis convention
will be a Blaine convention, and that
it will tender the nomination to him ;
why should he withdraw when,
as we believe, he wants the nomination?
He believes that his health will revive; he
believes that he will be elected, and that he
is the only republican who can be this year
Why then should he withdrawn
CLAIMS OF THE HARRIsoNIANs.
The Harrisonians, on the other hand, |,
claim that Secretary Blaine is certain 10
withdraw. The only question is as to the
time and manner of it. They believe that
his health will compel this, and also that his
fears Of defeat will constrain him. Still,
they keep on praising the forbearance OF
President Harrison in not removing
from his cabinet the premier
who, desirous oe being forced to resign 30 as
to appeal to the people, apparently to So
cure his nomination and election, has tried
the patience of the Presidents sorely. as one
of them said tonight: "When the secret
history of this administration is known, the
country will stand amazed at the forbear-
ance and fortitude of President Harrison in
his dealings with Secretary Blaine. 1t will
soc that President Harrison has proved him
self to be great statesman and Christian
gentleman in most trying circumstances"
