The ReII-Ringcr's Last Peal.

A Vienna journal relates the
rather singular circumstance under
which hell-ringcr Of one of the city
churches met with his death whilst
engaged in his customary avOcatiOnS
Recently the tolIiug hell testified
to the fact that a funeral was about
to take place The kncll sounded
with its wonted sOlemnity during a
certain time, hut just as the process
sion Of nOurneTS was approaching
the sacred CditiCe. tn" bell, instead
or uttering its sounds with the decor
Gus precision the circumstances eX-
acted, emitted fantastic and irreg-
ular peal, entirely out Of keeTing
with the OCCASION.
Little by little, the sounds de-
creased both in rapidity and vigor,
and ultimately after few, SO to say,
COnvulSive vibrations, the bell was
silent altogether.
y man was despatched to the bell
ringer to find the cause Of this ap.
parcntly eccentric conduct, who, upon
reaching the spot learnt the clue
to the enigma. The bell rope, which
towards its end was knOtted into sun
dry loops To facilitate the ringing,
had caught the unfortunate man by
the neck, and carried him some dis
lance from the ground
His struggles to free himself had
oCcasioned the irregular pcaling and
Spa>modic vibration, and presumably,
wlen the hell had elapsed into
silence, the poor ringer, who had
rung his own death-knell. had ceased
to breathe

Our National Seal,

When on July i, 177G, the CONT.
mental Congress declared the English,
American colonies tn be free and in
dependent States, they appointed a
committee to report device for a
seal-the emblem of sovereignty.
That committee and o. hers from time
to time presented unsatisfactory de.
vices. In the spring Of 1852, Charles
Thomson, the Secretary Of Congress,
gave TO that body a device largely
suggested TO John Adams, then
Jnited States Minister to the Court
of Great Britain, by Sir John Prest.
witch, an eminent English antiquary.
This suggestion was made the basis
Of a design adopted by Congress June
20, 1872, and which is still the device
Of the great seal OF our Republic.

men as much alike that maiden of
ordinary intelligence, who had given
her heart to one, after years of inti-
macy and devotion. SHOULD continue
that love to the other, and after a long
period of similar intimacy with that
other, fail to detect shadow of de-
ception, he could not see wherein any
wrong existed.
He had SO perverted his conscience
that it concealed from him the evil
which was in his heart when
Louis Patterson first told him the
story of his love for Mary Nordrum; that
it concealed from him the evil that was
intensified and developed into an I'M
pardonable crime when he gave the
drought to his companion with the in
tentiOn of preventing him from enjoy
ing Mary NOrdrum : love: that it con-
oealed from him the infamy which
made up the desperate scheme he had
planned to secure the love of one that
believed that she was loving another.
Charles Manning may have con-
scientiOusly believed if Mary Ncrdrum
never learned of the deception prac.
done. This thing of conscience either
takes to curious fits and startling
terms. at times, or else some other
force crowds it out of place.
Charles Manning had made himself
believe that his conscience approved
of every scheme he devised to cheat
and deceive Mary Nordrum.
Yet there must have been times in
his career. when his conscience, not
withstanding the surroundings. told
him that he was criminal of the
deepest dye.
He spent the most OF his time in the
company of Mary Nordrum. The two
farms were managed by hired help.
which gave the owners plenty of time
for reading together, stroliing in the
woods and fields, rowing in the lake
and love making.

The ''Sobrr Fritz" was at once got
out to sea. Capt. B3dtish could not con
ceal his feelings. The tears came
freely without bidding. He felt that
he had not only lost a good friend. but
all the circumstances connected with
his death were sad in the extreme
Could he even have brought the body
on board the ship and given i burial
beneath the waves, he could have been
the better reconciled to the fateful
events which had occurred.
Charles gave vent to his feelings bv
loud expressions of sorrow He had no
tears to shed. though he often wished
the tears would flow. but he had plenty
of words of love and affection for his
dear friend, and he never tired Of
speaking Of his merits and eXtolling his
good qualities.
AT the first port made by the "Sober

coal, and the Americans found no
trouble in engaging passage to Boston.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 2.-The awful
disaster at the Mansfield iron mine last
Friday has already led to a popular
movement for the modification of the
Michigan law providing for the inspec-
ton of mines. During the six wears
this law has been in force there has not
been 4 single instance where the re-
spOnslblllty for an accident has been
iINed upon a mining company. nor has
1t brought about any change in the
methods of mining that would insure
greater safety to miners. As the law is
framed the election of the mine IN
spector in each county devOlycs
upon the county board of supervisors
Two-thirds of the supervisors in the
mining districts are resident managers
or chief clerks of the mines, thus max
ing the mine Inspector dependent for
ms election upon the very corporations
whose methods he is charged hv law TO
sCrutinize carefully and condemn when
ever he finds them likely to endangcr
the lives of employees. The legislature
of 1894 will be urged to make the mine
inspector elective by popular vote in
officers. 1t is also suggested that the
