They have been trained To industry.
frugality and manly self-rchance by
the free institutions and the scant re-
sources of their native lands, and the
moderation and sCif-rcStralnt inherent
in the cold blood OF the north make
them constitutioually inclined to trust
IN slow and orderly methods rather
than swift and violent ones. They

perience, doomed h disappointment,
but with the hope of gaining, by
hard and unremitting toll, a modest
competency They demand less of life
than continental immigrants of the
corresponding class, and they usually,
for this very reason, attain more. The
instinct To save is strong in the major
ity of them, and save they do. when
their neighbors of less frugal habits
are running behind. 1t is therefore IA
tact, which all students of the social
problem arising from immigration have
remarked, that the Scandinavians adapt
themselves with great ease to American

THE SILENT CITY.
Wonderful Mirage of II Town That Is Yet
Unidentified.

Many stories have been written about
mirages and decisions, but none more
interesting and curious than that of the
Silent City illusion. which makes its
appearance near the Pacific glacier, in
Alaska.
The discovery of this wonderful
mirage says the New York Weekly.
was made by the Indians, who often
tell of the city which was built in the
clouds. The mirage can be seen III the
early part Of July. from five to six p. m
1t rises from the side of the Pacific
glacier. 1t first appears like heavy
mist, and soon becomes clearer, and one
can distinctly see the specter city, well
defined streets and trees, tail spires,
huge and odd shaped buildings, which
appear to be ancient mosques and ca
thedrals.
1t is II city large enough to contain at
least twenty-five or thirty thousand
inhabitants AS yet no one has been
able to identify it, although several
have claimed to recognize the place.
There is no city like it in Alaska, nor in
any country about it for thousands of
miles. Some claim it is city in Rus
STA, Others say it is city in England,
but none can tell what or where it is.
The mirage was given the name of
''Silent City," as it appears to one like
dead city; there is nothing to indi-
cate that ii is the pictured reflection of
an inhabited place.

ed guilty to the charge of forgery in the
United States Circuit Court at Nashville
last week, and was sentenced to one year
and one weeks Imprisonment in the
Anamosha Qowa) penitentiary. Some
time since Harris was arrested in Put
nam County for violating tho internal
revenue laws, and his bond was placed
at $3.50. He went to a man named
Garard and asked him to go on his bond,
saying that he could get another man to
go on it with him. Garard signed the
bond with a provision that the other man
was to go on it, too, but Harris scratched
out the provision, and the proper author
ity took the bond, holding Garard re-
sponsible. When the date of trial came
Harris was non est. Judgement was
given against Garard for the bond. Har-
ris was afterward caught and indicted
for forgery with the above result.

it was about the only thing Mr.. Cleve-
land could consistently do IF he
thinks" said the ex-president, that
the country is in state of strangula-
ton and that he has a remedy, why
the sooner he applies it the wiser he
will show himself. If he thinks that
he can give the necessary relief he
would better lose no time. The cry is
that there is not enough money. /
think that there is plenty of money,
but that people are holding on to what
they have got and boarding it. am
not prepared to say whether think an
August session ofcongress will restore
confidence, which is said to be dem or
allied. There may be serious obstruc-
tions. 7 cannot tell what may be the
extent of Mr.. Cleveland's knowledge
on the subject, but know that they
would not have repealed the Sherman
law for me-
81 think that perhaps altogether too
much of the much-com plained-of
stringency has been loaded upon the

1t becomes painfully apparent that the old sol.
dierS of the confederacy and their widows are
fast passing away. Col. Hardeman's report
shows that the crippled soldiers OF Georgia
have received during the year s1S1,22S. There
is decided falling on in the number of old SOL
diers who have been drawing 800 year for
the loss of limb for total disability. In
1888 there were 1000 pensioners under
this head, but from Col. Hardeman's s
figures there are now only 773 pensioners
under this head, showing that nearly 800 have
died since 1885, Capt. w. H. Harrison, of the
executive ONCE, who receives all applications
for pensions, stated that the widows of the con-
federate soldiers were decreasing at alarm
ing rate. Since that year 9l of them have died
and as quite number have not renewed theil
applications for pensions, 1t is presumed many
of them are dead Last year there were SO
deaths among the widows, but this year there
