wA,ttier's Picture.

On one occasion when the artist Parker had been painting portrait of Charles Sumner, Whittier came to Chestnut street and said to Mrs Sargent:
 Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with me to see Friend Parker's picture of Charles:"
 q should be very glad to-" she an. swered.
 Wilt thee go this morningg he asked, md upon her assenting they set off for the studio. When they arrived they ex- amined the portrait of Sumner, but Whittier seemed to Mrs Sargent 10 be preoccupied and to be in haste to call her attention to something else. In Q moment he said:
 Friend Parker, where is the other?"
 The artist turned around an easel, and there was q portrait of Whittier himself. The poet was as pleased as boy at Mrs. Sargent's surprise, and as she had not even known of his sitting she was natu- rally not a little astonished. He was like n genial comrade in his fun, and, al- though he was naturally grave and se- date, there was in him Q most beautiful and genial humor and sweetness, like the color and perfume of the mayhower under the grayness of the leaves in tho gpring. .-Arlo Bates in Chicago Tribune.

HawaiiA.

'In view of the present condition oi affairs what do you think is the destiny of the islands?" was asked Minister Stevens by Honolulu special core. spondent of the S F. Examiner.
 "They will undoubtedly be annexed, " said Mir Stevens. ''That is the hand writing on the wall and it cannot fail to come true. I would that the flag could have stayed up where had caused it to be put but powers that be have ruled it otherwise and must bow in acquiescsnce to them. Public opin- ion demands that these islands be an nsxed and public opinion will see that they are in spite of what A, B or c may do. Naval authorities say we need these islands; commercial men say they are necessary for us if We expect to ex- tend our shipping; the voice of religion says that the Caucasian race must pre- vail on the Hawaiian islands. For sew enty years this group has been under the care and framing of devout Protes- tants. Do you wonder that these men overthrow that corrupt court of Lihuo- kaiani, court where debauehery and vice reigned supreme, a court that would listen to propositions of thievery?
 q am satisfied to leave my action in the hands of the people of the United States, and I hope for his own sake that Commissioner Blount may be able to say the same. I am sorry for one thing, and that is that while was on the islands the stars and stripes should have been pulled down.

Perhaps the most important salvage case awaiting decision at the present time is the claim of the little steamship Lake Huron for Si95, GOO salvage for tow ing the disabled North German Lloyd liner Spree into Queenstown harbor sey- eral weeks ago Expertsin salvage mas ters are of the opinion that the sum awarded will be considerably smaller than that claimed
 An interesting case which will be cited in the arguments of the defendants in the Spree suit is that of the Guion line steamship Alaska, which lost her rudder at sea in April, 1885, and was lowed into this port by the steamship Lake Winne- peg. The salvage claimed was $lJ0, eco, but the Winnepeg was awarded only $26,- 069 by the admiralty court before which the case was tried. New York Evening Sun

ais Hand Frozo Co Limb and Saved Him.
 James Matthews and Dr. John Will Hams arc tho heroes of a remarkable ad- venture from which they barely escaped with their lives, They set out to cross Wolf river in an old bateau at a point where the stream is half mile wide, and when about sixty yards from tho bank, where the water was very deep, with swift current, their boat sank and both were left struggling in the icy torrent. Matthews managed to reach a tree and pulled himself up to seat on stout limb. Dr. Williams was swept past this refuge, and could do no better than clutch the pendent branch of an- other tree. He was too much benumbed to reach the trunk, and was afraid to let go, so there he staid half submerged in freezing water, while his companion shivered on a limb near at hand, but un- able to render him any assistance.
 There they remained for several hours, when at length their cries were heard and rescue undertaken. It was neces. sary first, however, to build boat. and this took Six hours more, and it was not until they had passed nearly ten hours in their perilous situation that they were finally taken off. Dr. Williams hand had frozen to the limb he grasped. and it was necessary to bring the limb away with him. But for freezing to it he would have been swept away and drowned. Memphis Cor.

The Westward Movement or the Center of
 Population.

In his speech at Pittsheld, Mass. Senator Dawes made pointed reference to the marvellous growth which the Western section of the United States has achieved since his entrance on pub lie life. 'The country" he said, ''has been widening and going westward and westward to the Pacific Coast, and then on beyond, until the latitude itself fails 10 chronicle our onward march, and westward falls into the eastward, so that the sun will not go down to night upon our westward border until it shall have risen on the coast of Maine. !" The contnuousness of this growth is shown by the steady westward move ment of the center of population. When the census of 1850 was taken, two years after MT Dawes public ca- reer began, the center of population was located at a point 23 miles south east of Parkersburg, w. Va.
 The census of 1890 puts the point 20 miles east of Columbus, Ind. Here is A westward movement of 229 miles iA 40 years, giving an average rate of 5.72 mlles per year.
 If the measurement is carried 60 years further back, to the first census of 1790, we find that there has been in the 100 years movement westward of 505 miles, the center of population having passed from poiAt 29 miles east of Baltimore, Md, to the location in In diana noted above. The rate of prog ress for the whole period averages 5.O5 miles year, or 73 feet a day, In oth- CT words, for century the center has been moving westward at aa average rate of l yard an hour, with foot thrown ia every 24 hours for good measurement.

Colonel Yule, the editor of Marco Polo, has published, with John Murray, of London, glossary of Anglo-Indian colloquial words. In this work, along with well known loan words from re. mote oriental tongues, we are surprised to meet Just the cheese derived from cbiz, meaning thing; also, Don't care daIun," derived from dam, small copper coiu and equivalent for ''brass farthing' Candy" sugar comes from khanda. and means broken" sugar. "Chicane" and "cbicanery" are derived through French usage from chaugan, horsegolf, or what we cell polo, game which has reached us for the second time since it was imported into Europe from the east before the Middle Ages. Demijohn is not from French dame jeanne, but the town of Dannaghan, in Persia. Turbsn is a corruption of dul- band, a Persian word for head wrap. Exchange.

Millet has become an inventor. We made an estimate, |" said Mr, Millet, "of the time it would take to color those buildings with a brush. We found it would be impossi- ble to do 1t that way.

oneer Actions of n Rrine.

Andrew Parker and Mary Seidler, of Braddock, were to have been married at noon at St, Michael's Catholic church. The building was filled with friends and relatives, and the Rev, Raymond Weider stood at the altar with tho contracting parties and their attendants ready to be- gin the ceremony.
 Suddenly tho asselnblage was startled to see the bride step backward and re- fuse to take part in the ceremony, aud while they were yet wondering ihe to be bride, without offering my explanation, turned and made her way alone to the basement of the church, where she took off her wedding gown and veil and at tired herself in a street costume she had provided. As she came out of the base ment smiling, it appeared triumphantly, and made her way down the steps to the street she was followed by Parker. He stopped her and informed her that he had paid $l.50 for marriage license, and now that he was not to get the benefit of the license he proposed to have the S1 50.
 With tow courtesy Miss Seidler pulled out her purse and handed him a five dollar gold piece and told him to take his $l.50 out of it. Parker put the gold piece in his pocket. Miss Seidler persisted in her demand for $9.50 change, and people began to gather around Parker, losing control of himself, struck the young woman in the face and on the breast several times, and then hastily made his way through the crowd and disappeared,
 It is supposed by many that Miss Seidler did as she did for the express purpose of mortifying Parker. The pair first met about fifteen months ago. and have been engaged for about four months. -McKeesport Times

A few days ago Manuel Garrizo, Q Mexican laborer on the Prairie Rose ranch, near Ysleta, Tex, found what IS thought to be relic of the Aztecs. It is the head of man inclosed in box of silver It was found in a mound at the foot of the Horsehead hills. The mound, which is a small one. had always been looked upon as natural Garrizo, want ing dirt to fill a low place near his door, took 1t from the mound. He dug several feet into che mound when he discovered metal box. which he opened and found in it peculiar round object. It ap- apeared to be clay ball, but when he struck it he found that the clay covered cloth which was wrapped about a slaln. IL was rather mummied head for the skin and hair were there.
 The head Is that of au elderly man of undoubted lndi, origin, as shown by Che high cheek bones and long black hair One temple is crushed iu, show. ing how he met his death, though tho hair is plastered down over the break in the skull Tho box is roughly made and is covered with rude hieroglyphics rep resenting a sacrifice to the gods. That the head had been subjected to an eln- balning process is proven by the absence of brains and it's remarkable state of preservation. Cor. Philadelphia Press

How His Excellency Puts on His Skates,

saw Governor Russell at Fresh Pond Saturday. and he was one of the most graceful of the big crowd of skaters pres ent. The governor drove up 10 the pond from his Cambridge home with Dr. Swan, and went upon the ice at Black Nook, a part of the pond where there were com paratively few skaters. Notwithstand- ing the governors graceful movements in skimming over the ice he has rather awkward way of putting on his skates. He put the skate on his right foot stand ing squarely on both feet and bending forward. When it came to the left foot he stopped down, put his left foot out be- hind him and then reached around and fastened it with a combined stoop and twist that would have done credit to a contortionist.-Bo Record.
