Congress and Immigration.


In his annual report Surgeon General
Wyman, of the marine hospital service,
r. commends that immigration into this
country be stopped absolutely for one
year beginning Jan. /, 1898. He bases
This recommendation on the opinion of
anitary investigators that unless immi-
grafton is thus stopped our certain doom
will be visitation Of cholera next sum-
mer. This will sweep the country and
wreck the Worlds fair. 1t may be that
even with this precaution we shall not
escape. though it is hoped we may.
1t is certain that on this and other
grounds there is growing throughout
the country powerful feeling against
such floods of foreign immigration as
have poured upon our shores in the past
ten years. 1t is not SO much the pum-
Der of the immigrants as their character
that is exciting the opposition. The
Drainage pipes Of Europe and Asia have
pparently been emptied upon this
United States SO far as population is
oncerned. II we do shut our gates
against the stream, the countries of
Europe will have only themselves to
blame for sending us such class.
On the other hand, If immigration is
suspended it will undoubtedly bankrupt
iome of the steamship companies, which
would be matter of general regret. Al
ready some of them are threatening
that if we stop immigration through our
seaports they will withdraw their lines
to Canadian ports, and the stream OF
reople will flow to Canada. As soon as
hey spend all the money they bring
with them the immigrants will drift
over the border into tie United States,
and we shall be forced to accept them
n worse plight than if we bad taken

ollow necessarily.

Words of Love.

When Napoleon Bonaparte was at
the height of his power he established
an orphanage for girls in a little town
in France. After his return from
Punishment at Elba he made visit to
the orphanage, which remained I'M
touched. The girls crowded about him
as he left, and gave to him the most
touching expression of their love and
admiration. They covered his hands
with kisses. They took the rings from
their fingers and put them on his, and
warm tears fell on the great emperor's
hand while they crowded around him,
claiming the privilege of last grasp
and OF last word as he left. After
ward came Waterloo and transporta-
ton and Punishment and the rocky
island of St. Helena. The Old Guard
went down in blood and death, and his
empire fell with crash The magnifi--
cent temple which he had built of mat
ter crumbled in night. He was left
in poverty, a prisoner. But there were
some things that survived Waterloo.
There was one thing that survived the
crash of the empire-the words of love,
the tears, and the kisses of those or
phan girls. They abided, they cheered
the hours of loneliness, and their faces
lowered over him even in the hours of
death to whisper words of cheer and
courage.

came in and stood pale and trembling,
looking at Barton's wounded brows.
Colonel Barton said l, it is only
your due to acknowledge that your sue
cessful raid has elevated the morale of
our cavalry and given confidence to the
whole army
"To the whole army, General?'
asked Barton.
" Certainly - ahem - certainly l
answered.
o. Then 1 wish 1 had my share of
that confidence and he bowed in a
courtly manner TO Mamie. If | had
such confidence on this suspicious
Christmas Day, l would ask if the
states brevet and the presidents COM
mission would make such an addition
to the Kentuckian's claim, that he
might ask something sweeter, sir,
something fairer, sir, than national
fame, sir-your daughters love?'
:" Why - ahem - Colonel said l,
did you not get any of my dispatches2'
I" Never, sir l moved so rapidly
from point to point that | expected no
dispatches ,; and the colonel smiled.
Let me attempt to describe the ex-
pansion of my whole being when he
said that. My uniform seemed to fit
me better. My boots creaked again as
rocked back upon them and looked
squarely in Colonel Barton's face.
6" My mail, the colonel went on, has
been accommodating for month, and my
orderly brought it all to me when L re-
turned. l have it here in my pocket.
All, here are your dispatches, all having
headquarters stamp and marked To
FOllOD, and here they are. | will read
them now and enjoy your warm con-
gratulations and your plans for my
more successful work on the raid
SO Hold! said l. Colonel, l am GO
ing to give you the Christmas gift you
crave; but you are sure you have not
read those dispatches?'
80 Why, here they are, General, just
as l found them when | returned to
camp; and Barton smiled.
"' Then, Colonel, all / ask for my
Christmas Gift is those unopened dis
patches. You will understand how
sensitive / would feel to have you now
gazing on my warm words of accept
ance of you as son-in-law, and my
useless directions as to your raid, when

pliments to the fire, unread and 1
reached out my hand and took them.
A suspicious look came into Mamie's
face as l dropped them in the CRATE,
but she forgot it as l said, in jovial,
Christmas tone:
g. And now, bless you, my children,
bless YOU; and Barton folded my romp-
ing big girl to his bosom, and Mamie,
womanlike, kissed the scar on his fore
head, and had kind of a cuddling,
motherly way which seemed very pleas
ant to Barton.
General Barton now boasts of the
sagacity of his father.in- law who sent
him out on that immortal raid, and told
him just how to carry it on to success.
But l did feel like an old scoundrel
when he named his first boy after me,
and said at the christening that General
Hobbs seemed to love him like father
from the very first interview. All,
well, the dispatches were securely
burned, and it would be a better world
if half its written denials and upbraid-
ings might be unopened, delayed dis
patches. "-A, Teal JVorden, in Frank

A Story of Abraham Lincoln.

The following story of Abraham Lin
coin is vouched for by one who was in
timately acquainted with Mrs. Com
stock and co-laborer with her. Mrs.
Comstock was well-known Quaker
lady, like Mrs. Fry, who devoted her
self to work in the hospitals and army
prisons during the war. She went
through the prisons and hospitals, con-
versed with the inmates, prayed with
and comforted them. She was per-
mitted to go everywhere. Even Mosby,
the guerilla chief, gave her at one time
an escort of his men. Three days be-
fore Abraham Lincoln was shot Mrs.
Comstock called upon him. She had
been refused permission to pray in one
of the army hospitals by some of the
chaplains, and appealed to the presi-
dent. Mr.. Lincoln heard her story, and
wrote: "Give Mrs. Comstock access to
all hospitals and to all inmates with
whom she desires to hold religious SER
vice." Then he said: Mrs. Comstock,
1 want you to pray with me-" They
knelt down, and as the Quaker lady
folded her hands she felt the hand of
the president placed upon her own. 1t
trembled like leaf. She prayed with
all her heart and fervor, and as she rose
from her knees Lincoln thanked her,
saying: 81 feel helped and strength
ened by your prayers" She went her
way, to pray with the sick and dying.
Three DAYS afterwards Lincoln was shot.

SELECTED STORY.
A Message from the Skies.

In golden twilight, one sad day,
A soldier of the gallant gray
Is kneeling DER a mound of dew
Where sleeps boy who wore the blue.
From his sweet eyes loves hallowed tears
Are falling for those bloody years,
When face TO face EACH dauntless stood
Contending for the masterhood.
" was a rebel in the fight
Because thought 1t Just and right;
The South loved; her flag was mine,
Her fields and hills and skies divine;
loved her rs no other could;
Was not her cause born in my bloodS
Against a storm of shot and shell
| fought for country loved so well
'But he who in the blue was dressed
Was champion of a race oppressed;
He died that freedoms cause should stand
Supreme In this-dair Freedoms land
Now DER his mound sweet flowers | strew,
l ask forgiveness Of the blue.
love the flag; l clasp the hand
OF every patriot in our land"
From mansions in the far above
There comes a voice in tenderest love,
A voice that sweetly seems to say:
"God bless the boy that wore the grayl"
In answer to tn angelic voice,
As If to make the world rejoice,
Up through the ether these words flew:
"God bless the boy who wore the blue!"

Quite Warm.

" Yes, too hot to go TO church, -
was the decided exclamation of Mrs,
Doolittle the other Sunday. o, but
she went up town on Monday to attend
fire sale of goods, and, indeed, the
crowd was so great and the weather SO
hot that several ladies well-nigh died
before they could get relief; but Mrs.
Doolittle crowded in and stood for two
hours, waiting to get chance to buy
two smoked-up, soiled handkerchief
for five cents apiece, which formerly
were sold for fifteen cents, and, indeed,
she came home and made three calls
among her neighbors, to tell them how
cheap things are selling up at the fire
sale.-ChriStian World.

Secret of Trust.

The secret of perfect trust is very
simple, yet but few learn it. We seek
by many mistaken ways an increase of
faith, and find only disappointment.
Our greatest mistake is looking within
rather than without. Mrs. Fletcher
tells of a converts dream; how he
seemed to be deep down in a well, and
looking up could see through the mar
row rim of the Wells mouth star that
seemed TO let down silver lines of light
to lift him up. If he looked up stead
lily, he felt himself rising; if he looked
down into the well, he felt himself fall
ing; and by simply keeping his eyes
fixed upward he rose out of the well.
The dream is parable; if we look up,
we go up; if we look down, we 60
down. Faith is never perfected by
morbid introspection, but by '' looking
away unto Jesus, the author and fin
Usher of our faith" To get our eyes
off self and on him, that is the simple
increase of faith.-Arthur T. Pierson.

SET ASIDE.
THE COURT DECIDES THAT THE I'M
BopsN DEED TO R. A. PlNN


Was Not Made Strictly According to
Law and He Therefore Sets It Aside
The Nnd Of Long Drawn Out oontrc-
versv.
Ia the case of Mary Ann Miles's admin
istrAtor against Henry S. Imboden, Judge
McCarty delivered an opinion this after
noon, that was something OF crusher.
The plsintiff had a judgment for $500
against ImbodeD but he had turned over
his 82 acre farm to Robert A. Pinn, the
MsssilIon attorney, and therefore plaintiff
could not get the money. Plaintiff then
alleged that the deed OF conveyance from
Imboden to Pinn was frAuduiently made
and was done for ths purpose OF beating
plaintiff out of ihe amount of the judg>
ment. Imboden took the stand and tet-
titled entirely in Pinn'S favor. The next
day he came back and asked to be
he had not told the truth when
ne was on she witness stand before aud
desired to do so. He then proceeded to
say that he bad been frightened by Pinn
to turn the property over TO him or his
creditors would tnke the shirt off his
back. The land is situated west of Mas
sillon and there IL supposed to be valua-
bic veins OF coal under IL.
Judge McCarty, in rendering bis deci.
sion, decided every point In favor of
Miles's administrator and set aside the
deed OF conveyance TO Pinn, 80 far as the
judgment in controversy Ia concerned.
Pinn will still own the lund " he revs the
Miles debt, but IL Up dOssu'l lS rIiI .roC-
ably be sold to pay il. The decision was
n compieso victory for the administrators
of the Miles estate. In making up his
opinion the court lad evidently put no
credeuce in Imboden's first story, but be-
lieved implicitly in his last story.
Baldwin, McCaughey and General
Koehler, the latter OF Akron, appeared
for the Miles estate and Henry W. Harter
represented defendants. Mr.. Harter
asked that an exception to the court
ruling be noted.
