COnfirmatory Dispatch Received from
COnsui-Generai BlaclziOci<.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The State De-
partment has received a cabegram from
Mr.. Blackjack, at Apia, Samoa, fully con-
f1rming the news brought by the exclusive
Associated Press cable message from Auck-
land. yesterday, Of a native uprising. Mr..
Blackjack has been the United States con-
sul-general at Apia for many years past,
but his successor was recently appointed
and confirmed, and Mr. Blackjack is simply
acting as consul-general until relieved.
The absence of a war vessel at Apia at
this juncture is matter OF regret at the
State Department, but it is difficult to see
how one of our own ships can be sent there
without serious interference with the plans
of the Navy Department III, however, II

probably fall upon the Charleston She left
Rio harbor about two weeks ago 10 go by
easy stages around Cape Horn ana Lheli

Samoa. About a month would be consumed
in this voyage from Valparaiso, ana no enc
can tell what may happen at samoa IN
the meantime unless one OF the British or
German vessels in the south Paclnc comes
to the rescue OF the foreign colony.
Consul-general BlackioclK's dispatch states
that the rebels are under the command Of
the old leader, Tauasese, who gave so
much trouble to Malistoa, the King, last
year. A number of battles have taken
place on the island west OF Apia- So far
tie government forces have bcen successful.
Finally, a general armistice effected.
hut upon wnat terms the consul does not
say bat he does express the opinion tnat
there is no hope or permanent peace, as
the natives are in Z hostile mood ana can
not be restrained.

How Strange9

Now isn't it queer how these
newspaper men discover secrets.
The latest one brought to light by
one of them is as follows:
at has been the custom of a
great many ladies all over the
country for years to hide the front
door key outside of shutter, under
the steps, at certain place along
the walk or to hang it on a nail on
the portico, when they go away
after supper. But this custom has
been done away with. 1t was con-
sidered all right to do this in good
old times when everybody was
honest, but it is little risky now.
The latest and safest place TO hang
it is on little hook attachment to
the garter. This key attachment
is something like the snaps on har-
ness and equally as safe. Young
man, if you should happen to go
home from prayer meeting with a
young lady and she sorter hangs
around the door of her home and
shifts her weight from one foot to
another and looks longingly at tho
gate, just remember where the key
hangs, and bid her good night

The Farmer Hnnnr Lot.

Chauncey M. Depew says that
the happiest man in the world to-
day is the successful farmer. "He
sits under his own vine and fig tree,
undisturbed by the maddening
noise of the city. Banks fail, rail
roads go into the hands of the re-
ceivers, booming towns collapse
and all business stagnates but the
wise farmer can snap his fingers at
these things. He is monarch of all
he surveys on his broad acres. The
honesty of his boys the purity of his
girls are guarded against tempta-
ton and in them he has given the
county its best manhood and
womanhood. The farmer is to be
envied and if he is not contented
with his lot he is lacking in wis.
dom.

DR.. Chalmers beautifully says:
"The little that 1 have seen of the
world, and know of the history of
mankind, teaches me to look upon
their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When / take the history of one
poor heart that has sinned and suf-
fered, and represent to myself the
struggles and temptations it passed
through-the brief pulsations of joy,
the tears of regret, the feebleness of
purpose, the scorn of the world
that has little charity-the desola-
ton of the souls sanctuary, and
threatening words, within, health
gone, happiness gone-I would fain
leave the erring soul of my fellow
man, with him from whose hands it
came"

An AYenging Angel.

The belief of many that those who
commit murder or are guilty of
wantOn cruelty, even though they
escape legal punishment, are made
by y just God to suffer pangs worse
than punishment by man, seems to
have an additional vertifcation in
an instance that came to notice in
connection with an application for
pardon brought before the Police
Commissioners yesterday.
In addition to the moral aspect of
the story, it is very interesting from
the fact that the chief character is
one who figured in an occurrence
that at the time shocked the whole
civilized world. The story of his
doings have been written in every
language and was the Fsubject of a
poem by Americas own Whittier,
who described so wildly the last
day of Lucknow. The man in
question is Stephen Roach, now in
the work-house for drunkenness.
He has only been in this country
two years and has been in the work
house six times.

Hap Out Your Course, Young Nan.

Hap Ont Your Course, Young Nan.
The man who starts in pursuit of
fortune without carefully surveying
the ground and laying down his
line Of march beforehand, is a reck-
less AbsaIom, who is pretty sure to
be caught by the swat bit thorns"
of speculation, and left helplessly
struggling in their midst, a redicu-
Ious spectacle to all right minded
men.
Map out your course, young man.
before you set forth on your business
journey. While you are still out of
the tumult and turmoil of the busy
world adopt a set of principles.
Let them be such as your concience
and your common sense approve.
Then fashion a code of laws for your
future government-rules of con-
duct based on the duties you owe to
God, to your neighbor and to your
self
Don't wait until you are assailed
by temptation or beset with difficult
ties to determine what you shall do
in either dilemma. Determine in
advance what ought to be done
under certain circumstances, and
when they occur, do it. You are
better qualified to judge rightly
what is just and prudent in any
contingency before the contingency
is upon you than you can be in the
moment of difficulty. In your
trouble, don't trust to the impulse of
the moment. Impulse isa blind guide
in serious matters. Refer back to
your chart. This has been the
practice of wise and good men from
time immemorial.
Experience is, no doubt, a capital
teacher, but her lessons are bitter;
and if you begin life with a cool
head, an honest purpose, dauntless
spirit, and fixed principles and rules
of conduct of the right kind, you
will be the more likely to escape
the lash of that hard task mistress.
Lay your course straight in the be-
ginning, and stick to it closely as
you can in storm and sunshine.
Providence is the underwater for
those who sail this "sea of troubles"
by the chart of honor and the COM
pass of prudence, and even if blown
on the rocks they are not likely to
perish there for lack of help.-Er.

Col MnRlaomnou

Col. McEldowney occasionally
talks about the weather. Here is
his latest expression along this line.
"Hot weather is good for corn, but
for men and women, who claim 10
reside in The temperate zone, it is
not SO refreshing. Weare told that
the hot rays of the sun destroys the
germs of disease. If any were To-
Gated in our system before the past
week they must be done up" Just
SO, and the same down here.

During the Sepoy rebellion in
India he was a Sergeant in the Eng
lish artillery company before Bella
Grava. He was one of the men
who took the captives in pairs, and,
placing them in front of cannons,
belw them over the ramparts. He
has told often how they used to take
bringing natives and tie them to-
gether a few feet from the mouth
of a cannon. The piece would
then be dischared and the poor un-
fortunates blown to atoms. This
cruel barbarous treatment at the
time shocked the whole world when
it became known.
Roach left the service and came
to this country, but seemed to be
pursued by an avenging angel, as
he at one time termed it. He tried
to do right, but his mind continually
turns to the scene of the Sepoy re-
bellion, and at such times he has
tried to drown his remembrances
in drink, to the effect that he has
spent a good share of his time in
the work house. The application
for his pardon was refused.-Cin-
einnatti Enquirer.
