Three F ollowers.

The wise old Hassan sat in his door
when three young men pressed eagerly
by.
Are ye following after any one,
my sons?' he said.
Il follow after Pleasure, said the
oldest.
And after Riches, said the sec
ond. Pleasure is only to be found
with Riches" "
And you, my little one?" he asked
OF the third.
II follow after Duty" he modestly
said
And each went his way.
The aged Hassan in his journey
came upon three men.
My son." he said to the oldest,
'methinks thou vert the youth who
was following after Pleasure. Did'st

NO, father" answered the man.
pleasure is but a phantom that flies

Thou did'st not follow the right

of the second.

answered.

goes hand in hand with Duty, and

Words Of Wisdom.

All sour grapes are not out OF reach.
Gossip is the sugar OF old women's
tea.
Judgment is forced upon US by ex-
perieuce.
Who bravely dares must sometimes
risk fall,
They lose the world who buy it with
much care.
What is mind, No matter. What
is natter Never mindl
Vice is sponge which sucks in
honor aud gives OUT tears.
\ mans own good breeding is the
best security against other peoples
i'll manners.
Humility il not necessarily virtue.
The violet would smell just as sweet
on a tree.
The man who fears being taken at
his true value i always on the alert
for Sights.
The old man who has forgo' ten that
he ever was boy is but u living tomb
stone to his buried youth.
When any calamity has been sut-
f-rrd the first thing to be remembered
i how mu tn has been escaped.
The tears We shed for Others are
mellowrd by inward cougratulation ;
those shed for ourselves are brine.
A milestone aud human heart l.
driven ever round il they have noth-
iug else To grind, they must themselves
be ground.
The circumstances OF the wFrld are
SO variable that an irrevocable pur-
pose or opinion is almost synonymous
with foolish one.
No school il more necessary to chill
dren than patience, because either
the will must be broken in childhood
or the heart in old age.
People are always talking Of per
severance and courage aud fortitude,
but patience is the finest and worthi-
est part Of fortitudp. Patience lies at
the root OF all pleasures as we'll a OF
all powers. Hope herself ceases 10 be
happiness when Impatience compan-
ions her.

The Prompt Clerk.

A young man was commencing life
"a "A clerk. One day his employer
said to him
Now tomorrow that cargo OF cotton
must be got out and weighed, aud we
must have IA regular account OF IT,.
He was Il young man OF energy.
This was the first time he had been
entrusted TO superinteud the execu-
ton Of this work; he made his AR
rangements over night, spoke TO the
men about theiI carts aud horses.
and resolved TO begin very early in
the morning He instructed the la
borers to be there at halt-past four
o'clock So they set TO work aud the
thing was done; and about ten or
eleven o'clock his master came in.
and seeing him sitting in the count
ing house, looked very black, sup
posing that his commands had not
been executed.
Il thought" said the master, you
were requested to get out that cargo
this morning.
1T is all done" said the young
man, and here is the account OF it
He never looked behind him from
that moment-never! His character
was fixed, confidence was established
He was found TO be the mau TO do the
thing promptly. he soon came to be
the one that could not be- spared; he
was a. necessary TO the frn "a any

And in the autumn drear,

And waved at the engineer.

And her omely country dress;
She liked TO look at the man up there
At the front OF the fast express.
There s only a fash OF the maiden Is eye,
As the engine rocks and reels,
And then she hears in the distance die
The clinkety, clink OF wheels.
Clinkety, clink; 30 far apart
That nothing she can hear,
save the clink of her happy heart
To the heart OF the engineer.
over the river and down the dell
Beside the running stream,
She hears the sound of the engine bell
And the whistles mad ming scream.
Clinkety, clink: there's an open switch,
Kind angels hide her eyes!
Chnkety, clink; they're in the ditch.
Oh hear the moans and cries.
Clinkety, clnk, and down the track
The train will dash today,
But what are the ribbons of white and blacl
The engine wears away?
Cnnkety clink: Oh, worlds apart;
The fireman hangs his head.
There Is no clink in the maiden's heart:
The engineer Is dead

foGng Republicans of Connecticut Meet
and Elect officers.
New HAVEN, April II. - Seventy-five
delegates, representing young mems Re
publican clubs of Connecticut, held their
annual convention in this city yesterday
afternoon.
President Farnsworth of this city in a
speech of welcome said that in the last
election Republican leagues had taken
things as matter of course, and the ma
tional election had gone Democratic.
This fall, although it looked like Repub-
lican year, it would not do to let things
go for granted, but real hard work would
be necessary to win.
He said the condition of clubs through
out Connecticut was encouraging and
predicted a Republican sweep in Con-
necticut in the next state election. A let
ter was read from Secretary Humphrey of
the National league urging the reorgani-
cation of all leagues and clubs on a work
ing basis. 1t was voted to hold the state
convention in this city in June.
Thirty-siX delegates were elected to
attend the national convention of Re
publican League clubs in Denver in June
These officers were elected: Fred B.

DA CANA ESCAPES.
Admiral and Many Of His Fol-
lowers Leave the Mindello.
Plans Were Well Arranged and They
Met With No Resistance-Fierce Fight
ing In Rio Grande do Sui.

BUENos AYREs, April 10-News from
Rio Grande do Sui is to the effect that the
bombardment begun by the rebels under
Admiral Mello last Friday was renewed
at sunrise yesterday.
The loyal garrison, which numbers less
than one-half of the forces of the be-
siegers, commenced a retreat, but at 2
o'clock President Peixoto's men from
Port Allgre arrived on the scene, where
upon the aggression again assumed the
! offensive, and the battle was still raging
lefercely at o'clock.
Da Gama's Escape.
Admiral da Cana made his escape from
the Portuguese warship Mindello at 2:15
p m. Monday and arrived at the Buenos
Ayres quarantine station Monday even
ing.
He, with number of his officers, were
confined on board the Mindello, awaiting
the arrival of the steamer Angola, which
sailed from Lisbon, April 4, to convey
him and his followers to Portugal the
remainder of his staff being similarly held
on bcsrd the Alfonso de AlbuquerqRe
Sunday afternoon, a tug towing a
lighter, loaded with provisions for the
Portuguese warships, steamed alongside
the Mindello, and the lighter was made
fast to the warship, preparatory to un-
loading. While the provisions were be-
ing taken on board the warship, Da
Cana and 80 of his officers went on board
the tug, cut the lines and steamed away.
Had No Difficulty.
No resistance was offered by the crew
of the tug, which fact suggests a pre-
arranged plan for the escape of the insur-
gent admiral and his men. This theory
is strengthened by the attitude of the
owners of the tug. They deny any COM
plicity in the escape of the men and re-
fuse to furnish any details, but they
admit that they expect compensation
from Da CANA or some one in his behalf.
The destination of the fugitive admiral
is not known, but there is an unconfirmed
rumor that he has been seen in this city.
This is not unlikely, as Da CANA has
host of friends here many of them of
wealth and influence, and he would have
no difficulty in finding an asylum.
The people of the Argentine Republic
generally are rejoicing over the escape of
Da Cana, and the reports of Mello's sue
cesses at Rio Grande do Sui. These re-
ports are not altogether trustworthy, but
if General Gomercindo's land forces are
really cooperating with Admiral Mello
in an attack upon Rio Grande Sui, it is
clear THAI the province of Parana has
been abandoned to PeiXoto.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE
VIII BE Held to Try and Settle Riverside
Mill Troubles.


PROVIDENCE, April 1.-THE report that
the strikers of the Riverside mill had
voted to go to work was premature, and
not altogether accurate. A meeting of the
strikers was held yesterday afternoon,
and after it had been voted to continue
the strike against the two-loom system
the weavers considered the advisability
of ordering a general strike. 1t was stated
if this was not done single loom weavers
might as well return to work.
After a long discussion it was voted
to do this. A committee was appointed
to confer with Superintendent Ward ana
to state that the weavers were ready to
work provided they were not placed on
double looms The committee were una
BILE to obtain any decision, but will hold
another conference, when the matter will
probably be settled. The strike against
the two-loom system is still on, however,
and any attempt to make it general will
probably result in another strike.
