 WASHINGTON, April 18.-The truth in transpired. He was dismissed, 1t will be remembered, from his position of Ex- ecutive Clerk of the United States Senate because he was charged with having be- trayed secrets of the Senate while in executive session over the Behring Sea matter.
 At the time the matter was being con- sidered, Mir. Young was not in the Senate Chamber, but came in shortly after. The disclosure was made by 8 member of the Senate, who wrote the information on the backs of three envelopes and sent it to 8 newspaper man.
 After MT. Young was accused of breach of trust this correspondent went to MT. Young and proffered him those envelopes, saying, II am not willing that you should lie under this false &C., cusation. Here is the evidence to prove your innocence. Use it, and will stand by it.''
 MT. Young declined to take the envel- opes or to use the evidence, saying:
 "While I am anxious to defend my honor, cannot asperse the h onor or in- tegrity of any Senator, and l will not use the information you have. l thank you for your kind interest in me, but you can readily understand the propriety of my position"

A MARINE PARADOX.
Mighty Ships That Perish and Small Boats
 That Survive.

Mighty Ships That Perish and Small Boats
 That Survive.
 Many of you have stood on the beach at the seaside, and watched the sea roll ing in heavy breakers after a storm, curling and crashing into volumes of foam and broken water, with such force as to send them sweeping up almost to your feet. It is through such waves that men who follow the sea must at times pass in reaching the shore; but not through one or: two on smooth, quick-shelving beach, but through thirty or forty, perhaps, covering mile of treacherous shoals, and at places surging between jagged reefs and huge powders.
 With intense interest we read of dreadful shipwreclSs almost every week. The survivors tell how the big ship la- bored and struggled through monster pillows and shrieking wind, under black flying clouds and amid jagged streaks of lightning, until, mastless and help less, she lay exhausted in the trough of the sea, and passively received the crashing deluge of mercilees waves until she sank. They tell how they, poor puny human beings, clung to helm and pumps till the great ships struggles were over, and It became evident that she could carry them no longer; then how they hastily threw a cask of water and few provisions into some remain ing boat, aud at favorable moment launched upon the angry waters in a craft so frail that it seemed as if all on board were doomed to instant destruc- tion.
 Here always comes the strangest part of their narrative. Read all such ac- counts carefully, and you will find that in nearly every case where such little boat is safely launched from an aban- doned ship, it floats and drifts for days, and even weeks, on the open ocean, living through the dreadful tempest which wrecked the big ship, sailing buoyantly through calmer seas, and finally bringing the survivors within sight of other ships or lands.-John M. | Ellicott, in St. Nicholas.

 One day, when the walking was very bad, Prof. Kunstler was on his way to the corner at which he and his friend always met, when he encountered 6 young student whose face he recog- nized dimly, having seen it every day for some weeks in his morning class The professor hailed the boy, who was wading through the mud to get across the street.
 "Have you seen Prot. Muller?" he asked.
 "Yes, Herr Professor" replied the student, pausing in the midst of a mud puddle to remove his cap respect fully; Herr Prof. Muller is at the corner, waiting for you"

The soldiers continue to bring crowds of .'sooners'' out of the reservation, but for every one brought out half dozen sneak in while the soldiers are away from the line.

 My next story is of a cat, black cat called Bonnivard, who lives at Mont reaux. He has learned how to open the door. Your readers know, no doubt, that the Swiss door handles arc different from ours, going up and down. Bonnivard found by jumping on the handles he could open the door. There is also in this house gray cat, who is a great friend of his. One day Peter was outside and mewed to come in. His mistress was busy writing and took no notice. Peter became more urgent. Bonnivard, who was asleep on a chair, raised his head and listened, and seeing Peter's wants still unattended to, he got up, walked across the room, opened the door and admitted his friend.
