Ihe Submmest Poem OF Antiquity.
The sublimest poem of antiquity Ia
impersonal, yet written in the Hebrew
tongue. The book of Job, tho life
drama of the Man of Uz, towers with
no peak near it; its authorship lost, but
ITS fable associated in mind with the
post-Noachian age, the time when God
discoursed with men and the stars hung
low in the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom of the patriarchal race. Who
composed its Who carved the Sphinx
or set the angles of the Pyramids? The
shadow of his name was taken lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic of simphcity-a Cyclopean porch
to the temple, but within are heaven,
the angels, the plumed lord of evil be-
fore the throne of a judicial god The
personages of the dialogue beyond are
firmly distinguished: Elphax, Bildad,
Zophar, Elihu-to whom the inspiration
of the Almighty gave understanding
and tho smitten protagonist himself,
majestic in ashes and desolation.
Each outvies the other in grandeur OF
language, imagination, worship. Can
there be a height above these lofty MT
terancess Yes; only in this poem has
God answered ont of the whirlwind, his
voice made audible, as if an added range
of hearing for a space enabled us TO COM
prehend the reverberations of super
human tone. l speak not now of the
motive, the inspiration of the symphonic
masterpiece; it is still a mortal creation.

Mourning CoIors.

Ecclesiastical colors include all the
primary colors and black and white,
which are used at various church offices.
The cardinals of the Roman church have
adopted scarlet as their color, which
was originally red. In ancient Rome
the occupation and rank of many people
were made known by the colors of the
garments which they wore. Black is
in common use among us for mourning,
but the Chinese wear white, the Turks
wear violet, and in Ethiopia brown is the
proper hue.
White was originally the mourning
color in some European countries, but
black is generally accepted now. Diff
ferent colors have frequently been
adopted by opposing parties, and the
colors of various nations are incorporated
in their flags, for instance the "red,
white and blue" of the United States. -

The good effect of reciprocity upon
our trade with South American countries
is manifest in the largely increased eX-
ports of our products to those countries.
Notwithstanding the fact that Brazil has
been distracted by internal strife She
has purchased nearly IA million dollars
worth of our goods more within the last
year than in the previous one. and our
exports to Cuba increased four million
dollars in eight months. There is heavy
increase of exports to Porto Rico, san
Domingo, Salvatore and even the Brit
ish West Indies. This proves the sound
ness of the statement made by Mr..
Blaine that ''reciprocity is the safe
guard of protection and the menace Of

soUATTER SOVEREIGNTY.
An Old Captain Who Was Shipwrecked
Into a Fortune.

CHICAGO, Dec. Captain George
W. Streeter, a hardy old mariner of
the great lakes, has proved that a man
can be shipwrecked into a fortune.
Five years ago his schooner, the Rura-
tau, was driven ashore one stormy
night at the foot of Superior street.
Being a believer in Kismet the captain
prOpped up his boat and resolved to
take up permanent habitation there,
converting his boat into a house.
The city objected, as he was on it's
property, and he moved the boat a
little north. Then he encouraged the
dumping of the dirt around his house
and was soon entirely surrounded by
dry land. The next move was to
record a survey of the land and claim
it as his by sqUatter sovereignty. This
was in 1890. Then the trouble began
n. K. Fairbank, the land magnate,
instituted proceedings to GUST the cap
tain, claiming that he had bought that
portion of the lake shore with all
riparian rights, before the captains
advent. The captain converted his
house into a fort, armed his wife, and
when an attack on his property was
made drove off the intruders with shot
guns, incidentally shooti g a couple of
them, but not fatally.
Although Mr.. Fa1rbank is a multi
millionaire, he has not up to date sue
ceeded in recapturing the property,
which, now comprises about 500 feet
on Superior street. The captain has
just sold for $50, 900 lot 5Ox1O0 feet to
Jacob nine. He still has $50 feet 'front.'
age left, and at the price set by the
sale the whole tract is equal 30 $50, 900.
The five years since the captains ship
wreck have been worth $500, 900 a year
to him.

VERY HEAVY GALE.
A Vessel Run Down and Completely Sub
merged.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. Ga very heavy
gale prevails in this vicinity and a ire
mendous sea is running at the mouth
of the Mersey river, making it ex
Gremely dangerous for vessels to seek
to enter or clear the river.
At half past eight o'clock this morn
ing a bark which from her general ap-
pearance was supposed to be a Norwe-
gian vessel ran aground on Burbo
Bank. 1t was evident FRONT the manner
in which she was handled that she has
no pitch on board. AS soon as her
Roadway was stopped the sea made a
clean breach over her, sometimes COM
pletely hiding her from view with the
exception of her masts.
Fifteen minutes after she struck her
mainmast and mizzentopm 'st went
over side. Shortly afterwards the
vessel fell over on her side and was
completely submerged. Life boats put
out for the bark as soon as her position
was seen, but their progress against
the gale and sea was slow and the bark
went down before they reached her.
1t is supposed that everybody on the
bark was lost.

THE DANNEHOWER FAMILY
TRAGEDY.
The Victims Were Probably Murdered
and the House Set on Fire.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 5.-Developments
within the past forty-eight hours lead
to the belief that the three members of
the Dannehower family who were
Cremated in a fire which destroyed
their house, at S~harpsburg, two weeks
ago were victims of foul play. 1t is
now believed that they were murdered
and the house set on fire to cover the
crime. This theory is strengthened by
the fact that when the fire was discov-
cred the doors were open and papers
and small articles were scattered
about the floor. A wagon was also
seen in the vicinity by the neighbors a
short time before the fire.
1t is thought that the house was
broken into for the purpose of robbery
and that the robbers were discovered
by Mr.. Dannehower, and that a scuffle
ensued, during which the latter was
killed In order to cover up the crime
the wife and daughter were killed and
the house fired.
Detectives are working on the case,
and a web of circumstantial evidence
has been woven so tightly around two
persons that their arrests will be made
in a day or so.
