In the Midst of Our ayers.
 Can you ever keep UT miud ten minutes on one supplicationi Few of us can. While you are praying your store comes in, your kitchen comes in, your losses and gains come in. The minister spreads his hands for prayer, and you put your head on the back of the pew in front, and travel round the world in five minutes A brother rises in prayer meeting to lead in supplication. After he has begun the door slams, and you peep through your fingers to see who has come in. You ay to yourself, "What a finely ex- pressed prayerl" or "What blun- dering specimen But how long he keeps on Wish he would stop He prays for the worlds conversion. l wonder how much he gives towards it There, I don't believe l turned the gas down in the parlorl Wonder if Bridget has gone home yeti Won der if they have thought to take that cake out of the oveni Oh, what fool l was to put my name on the back of that note! Ought to have sold those goods for cash, and not credit" and so you go on tumbling over one thing after another until the gentleman closes his prayer with Amen and you lift up your head, saying, "There, 1 haven't prayed one bit; l am not Christian :" Yes, you are, if you have resisted the tendency Christ knows how much you have resisted, and how thor oughly we are disordered of sin, and He will pick out the one earnest pe- tition from the rubbish and answer it.

On the north side is the western small lake, which has nice little islands covered with flowers. The entrances of the mining palace are richly decorated with emblems of the mining industries and branches of it.
 On each corner of the structure is pavilion built, covered with cupolas and lighted by high arch windows. These pavilions are con nected among highly ornamented arcades, which form an open hall around the whole building that can be used for walking, and from where the visitor has fine view of the surroundings. Each of these arcades is 230 feet long and 9 feet wide, and from it go entrances in different places into the main building. This latter contains two stories; the second is formed by a gallery. The walls are here decora- ted with polished minerals and ores.

Other PeopIe,n Eyes.

While due regard for the opin- ions and convictions of other peo- pie is a saving grace of life, there is no greater mistake than to habitually contemplate ores friends or ac- quaintances through the eyes of other people. With regard to events the case is different. A fact is a fact. An occurrence is largely a fixed and definite thing, and capa- ble only of giving rather definite impression. But the individual is relative. As musical instrument gives out one degree of harmony or another, or even discord, according to the touch and skill of the player, without changing its essential char acter at all, so in far greater way does the individual reveal one set of qualities, or another, or different aspects of the same quality, accord ing to the person with whom he con verses or with whom he acts. Char acter, in its fundamental basis, is not huctuating. The honest man does not become dishonest, nor the truthful man false, according to the company he is with; but in all the range of matters pertaining to har- mony of temperament one is to some extent what he is made by his associates, and so, to keep the true focal vision, one must keep his own
 You have found So-and-so to be especially invigorating and helpful in influence, and remarking this to your neighbor, you are told that he is, instead, dictatorial and trying. Which is the truer, or even the true view9
 The probabilities are that each is true to the individual who so sees it, for manifestations of character are relative, and depend on the action and reaction of temperament.

The Council of the Sunday School Union, of England, acting in con- junction with the Ameri ,an Sunday School Union, is organizing a Worlds Sunday school convention, to be held at St, Louis, in Septem- Der, 1893, and with view to facili- tating the attendance of English visitors is arranging for excursion parties of Sunday school workers and their friends, to leave England about the 18th of August, 1893, proceeding from Liverpool, by way of New York and Niagara to Chiea- go, where ample time will be afforded for visiting the Worlds Fair, and thence to St. Louis, returning by way of Pittsburg, Washington, Phil adelphia and New York to Liver pool.

The other walls are decorated in cream color stucco.
 The structure is 9 feet high, sill to the roof, but the main entrances are 90 feet high. This is made from steel and is supported by steel columns. The hall is 630 feet long and 115 feet wide. The floor con tains 235, 700 square feet and the gallery contains 103,0 ,000 square feet.
 Here the visitor will see all the riches that mother earth hides in her depths. Gold, silver, copper iand all other metals find here its place, and all machinery used till to-day in the mining industry will show the development of the scien ,e and work. As this branch of human industry, very much neglected in our state till day, will become for it a source of wealth and welfare to our citizens, as soon as it will be developed, we begin the cycles of our illustrations with it.

THE EXPOSITION PALACE FOF
 MINING.

Some weeks ago we brought plan of the exposition and a bird's-eye view. Now the principal buildings shall follow, so that our readers may get full idea of the great Columbian Exposition. Everybody knows from the plan where the mining building is located. It is 750 feet long and $50 feet wide, built in Italian renaissance style. It looks simple but imposing, and will contain everything that is worth to see and to know about mining, not only out of our country but from all parts of the world. It will show specimens of all metals and minerals and the old and new mining, how they are used, cleaned, pulver- ized, melted and cleaned again.

This IL the first time in the history of the

Blaine and Reed Are to BE Approached to
Help Harrison.
New YORK, Sept. 26.-It is authentcally
stated from Washington that President lar
rison and his campaign managers have ar
rived at the conclusion that in order to win
in November they must secure the cooper
alton of ex-Secretary Blaine and ex-
Speaker Reed. The falling off in the re-
publican majority in Maine in the election
just passed is not attributable to the Aus
tralian ballot or anv other local election
phase. but it is due to the fact, the admin
istration men claim, that neither Blaine nor
Reed had given their sanction to President
Harrison's candidacy. Ion Reed has
stumped Maine for the last two months,
but in no speech that he has delivered has
he ever ssid word about p esident Har-
rison. The Harrison campaign managers
are of the opinion that if the Blame and
Reed influence could be confined to Maine
alone the presidents friends would
have little cause for worry. The in
tiuence of these two men, however, in other
states il considered question that az
sumes another aspect, and the necessity for
a new departure of some kind is conceded.
1t is known that Blaines following in New
York ia lukewarm and the demand for
Reed on the stump throughout the north
western states goes to show that he enjoys
great popularity among the republicans of
shat section. The plan of the Hari ison

write another letter, or in some way appeal

tional ticket and solicit votes for them. 1t

A Steamer Newly Come From There
Brings Divergent Reports.
New YORK, Sept. 26.--The steamer Cara
afternoon. She reports seeing the United
States steamers Chicago and Kearsarge at
Laguayra, and the Concord at Puerto Ca
bello. As the latter port is held by the in
surgents, or Crespists, dozen marines
from the Concord were sent on board the
Caracas during her stay in the harbor,
guarding against any attempted lndlgni-
ties. None were attempted.
senor Peraza, Venezuelan minister was
at the dock to meet his wife and son, who
came on the Caracas. The young man said
he was the bearer of dispatches from the
government relative to the ship South
Portland, but nothing was learned from
him or his father. They stated, however.
that news from Venezuela Is very sncour-
aging for the government. Gen. Mon
agas is about to march for
Puerto Cabello at tho head of an
army of $500 men, and give battle to
Crespo. The latter and Guerrero, two Of
the chief reyolutionists, were said to be
quarreling, and duel was imminent.
Friends OF the revolution, several of whom
came on the Caracas, gave however, an en-
tirely different story from Peraza's. They
say the present government Is ON its last
legs ana Is not recognized OUTSIDE OF Cdr-
acas All ports where customs receipts ars
taken are in the hands of the revolutionists.
Crespo, they say, occupies Valencia and
Laguayra with 1000 men, and Ia slowly
encircling Caracas and cutting Oft supplies.
He could capture the oity now, but that re-
suit would involve much bloodshed which
he wishes to avoid. The Crespists report
that there was battle near Barquisimento
few davs before the steamer sailed, be-
tween 1000 revolutionsts under Gen. CO.
limo and strong force of government
troops. Coino was victorious. Five hun
dred were killed anu wounded on both
