APREFERRED CREDITOR.

A good story about New York mer-
chant who recently failed is going the
rounds. He called all his creditors to-
gether, and offered to settle with them
at ten per cent, giving them his notes,
payable in thirty days.
AS most of the creditors had little
hope of getting anything, they eager
ly accepted the proposition. One man,
however, stood out for better terms,
and all efforts to get him to agree
were futile. Finally the bankrupt
took him out in the hall and said:
"Ven you come in an sign nit de
udders den l make you a preferred
creditor"
"All right, j." said the objector under
those circumstances l will agree to
settlement
The papers were signed, and all the
creditors left, except the one who had
been told he was to be preferred.
Vat are you waiting for?n said the
man who had failed. ....
why, you said | was to be prefer
red. am waiting to know what am
to get'
"Vell, l tell you-you get notings."
''Get nothing? Why, you promised
to make me a preferred creditor if
would sign with the rest"
"And so you are. | make you pre-
ferred. l tell you now you gets not
ings. De udders wait thirty days be-
fore dey know it, and den dey get not
ings."

THE REAL CINDERELLA.

The following story, which Burton,
in his Anatomy of Melancholy"
quotes, is obviously the origin of one
of our most popular nursery tales =
"Rhodope was the fairest lady in her
days in all Egypt;-she went to battle,
and by chance (her maidens mean
while looking but carelessly to her
clothes) an eagle stole away one of her
shoes, and laid it in Psammaticus the
King of Egypt's lap, at Memphis.
He wondered at the excellency of the
shoe and pretty foot, but more at the
manner of the bringing of it, and
caused forthwith proclamation to be
made that she that owned that shoe
should come presently to his court.
The virgin came, and was forthwith
married to the king

COLORS OF WILD FLOWERS.

Botanists of the Mississippi valley
tell us that 3S4 species of wild flowers
are known to grow and flourish in that
great fertile region which lies between
the Missouri river on the south and
west and the Des Moines river on the
east and north, this exclusive of
grasses, sedges and other plants whose
flowers are without decided coloration.
OF the 3S4 species, which are decided
ly colored, 143, or BIT per cent, are
white; 102, equal to 2G4 per cent, are
yellow 81 species, per cent, are red
or cardinal % species, 10 per cent. of
the whole number, are purple. The
other 80 species, containing the re-
manning 101 per cent, are of some
shade of blue .si

full mothers embrace his mother, to
hear that she should be considered a
sacred and honored bequest to the
community which her son had pre-

Great emergencies like these which
met Hans cannot exist in the history
of all. To all, however, the Tyrolese
motto may speak, and all will expert
ence its truth. None need stand use
less members of Gods great family.
There is work for every one to do if he
will but look out for it. So long as
there is ignorance to instruct, want to
relieve, sorrow to soothe, let there be
no drones in the hives, no idlers in the
great vineyard of the world.

OTTR OPPORTUNITIES;

However a man is gifted, whether
for active enterprise or thought, or
charity, there lies around him world
of opportunity. So far behind are we
socially, morally, intellectually, that
one might be forgiven if he supposed
the world were made but yesterday,
and nothing had yet been done.
Does no ambition fire us to help the
despairing, starving, sinking people
around us? If a few more years be
added to our life, would we not strive
to put something right, to sweep out
some little corner, to awaken some
soul to see and rejoice in the growing
light

THE WEAKENING YEAR.
BY T. BUCHANAN REED.

BY T. BUCHANAN REED.
The bluebirds and the violets
Are with us once again,
And promises of summer spot
The hillside and the plain.
The clouds around the mountain-tops
Are riding on the breeze,
Their trailing azure trains of mist
Are tangled in the trees.
The drifts which have lain so long,
Haunting the hidden hooks,
Like guilty ghosts have slipped away,
Unseen, into the brooks.
The streams are fed with generous rains,
They drink the wayside springs,
And fiutter down from crag to crag.
Upon their foamy wings.
Through all the long wet nights they brawl,
BY mountain homes remote,
Till the woodmen in their sleep behold
Their ample RATS afiOat.
The lazy wheel that hung so dry
Above the idle stream,
Whirls idly in the misty dark,
And through the miller's dream.
Loud torrent unto torrent calls,
Till at the mountains feet,
Flashing afar their spectral light,
The noisy waters meet.
They meet, and through the low lands sweep,
Toward the briny bay and lake,
Proclaiming to the distant towns,
The country is awake! ~

A Rcd Hot Time Over tho Organization
or the State Convention.
COLUMBIA, 8. o., Sept. 29.-The Re-
publican state convention, which con-
vened here today, was stormy through
out. The two factions, headed by Web
ster and Brayton, respectively, fight
every two years. This time the Web
sterites were on top and named the tenn
porary chairman. Then Webster tried
to get electors nominated before
the temporary organization was COM
plete. Great confusion followed. Very
few whites were in the convention, and
they emed il bad odor with the great
mass OF colored delegates. At o'clock
Friday morning, after much wrangling
and several narrow escapes from serious
fights, permanent organization was
effected, with DR.. Drum as chairman.
Webster, who is collector of internal
revenue at Columbia, was elected state
chairman, opposition to him being
withdrawn.

The Union The ologicsl Seminary I'm
dorses DIR. Briggs Teachings.
New YoRE, Sept. 29.-The Union
Theological seminary began its second
year since the outbreak of the famous
Briggs trouble, by issuing formal and
official defiance, in the presence of the
students, faculty and directors. Rev. DR..
Charles Cuthbert Hall, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, of Brooklyn,
speaking for the directors of the semin-
ary, outlined the future course of the
institute, namely: To persist in the
line of biblical criticism for which DR..
Briggs is now undergoing trial for heresy.
In part he said: "We have no room here
for spies or suspicious men looking around
for heretical teaching. Gentlemen who
fell, if they study in the Union SEM
mary, that they must be on the look
out for ambushes, would better 60 to
safer institutions. On the other hand,
il there are any men, who, in the days
of their youth, become SO broad that
they learn too rstionalistic views OF in
spiration or atonement, they need
have no expectation of finding con-
genial atmosphere in this place. They
will find here only the most devout,
most spiritual, most evangelical teach
ing concerning divine inspiration and the
divine Christ"

THE HAWAIIAN CRISIS.

Stormy Scenes Over the Attempted Gust
ing of the Ministry.
HONOLULU, Sept. 22.-During the dis
cussion on the resolution of want of
confidence in the ministry, September
14th, sensation was introduced by
Representative Thurston declaring that
one of the mobiles had been spirited
away and was confined in the palace. A
motion to adjourn to the 10Th was put
and lost, amid considerable confusion.
Further arguments were INDUCED in.
The opposition was represented by Rep
resentatives Wilcox, Bush, Smith and
others, who insinuated that the cabinet
was responsible for the absence of No
BILE Kanoa. Minister Neumann said
that any statement made connecting
the cabinet with the knowledge of No
BILE Kanoa's absence, was an Infamous
faleehood. An adjournment was then
had until the next day, when a further
war of words was indull ed in. The
vote on want of confidence was not.
reached until late in the afternoon of
the 10th, and then found to be "a in fa-
vor of, to 2l against the resolution, the
AAAAAobOAS hOu VOuh6s AhO
ruled that 25 was the necessary number
to oust the ministry, and Immediately
afterwards left the chair, declaring the
house adjourned. A scene of the wild
est confusion followed, Representative
R.W. Wilcox fercely denouncing the min
isters as ungentlemanly, shameless and
devoid of eense of honor. The minie-
ters then left the house, not, however,
before Minister of Foreign Affairs Parker
had challenged Wilcox to fight. The
house finally adjourned for lack of
quorum. An appeal was taken from the
decision of the chair to the supreme
court, and they, on Monday last, rem
dered their decision upholding President
Walker, thus permitting the ministers
to retain their seats. The regular busi-
ness of the assembly is now being con-
Quoted slowly, but properly.
