 An, how different it all is from the old days when he used to laugh and talk to me and call me his guardian angel! He loved me then for her sake, for she gave me to him, you know. And now to desert me like this! Chin gan. it is too bad
 feared something of this kind would happen, though, when he discovered that she did not really love him; but, dear me, why could he not have found some one to take her place, instead of vanishing in tf,tTridiculous way?
 It was not if ' fault that he was sold out. l could only quiver with indigna- ton when, after his disappearance, that disagreeable old uncle announced his intention of selling all of young Barclays things at auction. That old uncle! How hate him-he never did like my master.
 Oh! that terrible auction-I shall never forget it! Sprinkled among the motley crowd of buyers, were few of young Barclays friends who knew him In the old days when she first gave me to him. They bought few tritles to help preserve his memory; for, in spite Of his youth and wildness, young Bar clay had some good and true friends.

ROYALTY ON RUNNERS.
The Grand Display Made by the Mac
 King of Bavaria.

The Grand Display Made by the Mad
 King of Bavaria.
 The unhappy Ludwig of Bavaria, who was drowned some years ago, was the first king of modern times who made business of reviving the splen- did trappings of royalty used in olden times on so extensive scale. With him everything in the line of furnish ings had to be gilt, or of the most precious material obtainable for the purpose. His passion for erecting fantastic castles and villas made him q bankrupt, and these buildings are now used for show purposes only.
 Some of the finest specimens of this sort of decoration built by the order of King Ludwig are the various carriages and sleighs designed for the kings use on state occasions. Among them is a sleigh which attracts the attention of all lovers of the picturesque. It is a very gorgeous means of conveyance, rich with precious metals, splendid furs, and all the modern Improvements money can command.
 Seated behind it's high glass win dows, enveloped in stately robes, the half-crazy monarch used to ride over the dangerous passes of the Alps be- fore daylight. His horses wore a string of small electric lights on their collars. Electric lights were also fas- tened to the helmets and caps of the cavalrymen that galloped in front of the sleigh.
 "The mad king is coming" the poor peasants used to say, for they had learned to expect him on any extremely dark night, if the moon were not shining. g.-Harper's Young People.

The homeliost dog l ever see
 Said Spooks, with an air of thought Was one the minister gave to me
 An said he was good for naught But somehow T other. day by day, He struck his gait, an he made his way; He lined the family, one by one, But didn't perform as the pampere6 son: He carried a cheerful tail an face, But wasn't desirous to embrace; He didn't go sniflu' along our track, But a'lays was glad to see us back; He helped al huntin' an loved the fun, But arays knowed who carried the gun;
 He schemed an worked an fought To keep the thievers from our abode, But never would superintend the road; He managed 10 be our love an pride; An when that fellow fell down an died, He had a buryin' such as men Gets give 10 'em only now an then;
 For honesty can't be bought!

Ln'hurl anathemas on the same; They'd follow him straight an own the corn. That he was Q regular leader born; But when the bear would open his jaws, An make a parenth' sis of his paws, This uog stepped back with merciful smile, An let the other ones lead awhile.
 But still he would skirmish near, An yell. blaspheme, an tear aroun' The outer parts of the battle groun'; An pass his comrades, wounded red, To worry the animal when twas dead; Then, spick au span as a dog could be, He'd say with a wag and Q wink at me:

 Said CroOks-same afternoon) Was one the coroner traded me,
 An said he was good for coon An he was cur of fair appear An carried the blood for fine career; But cen a'most every other night, As soon as the moon would bob in sight, He'd chase it on In elegant style, For somethin' less than hundred mile; He'd keep a-goin', an never stop, Until he was all prepared to drop; Butt fl, by chance, he could stay 1t down, He'd think he had run it out of town
 An next day, not too soon,. All covered over with conscious shame, Because he'd failed to bag his game, He'd sneak 1t home with a heightened jaw. As fl he had married mother in-law; Yet seemed 10 be sayin, had whim, To them who tried for to laugh at him:

The Newspaper Neeessary


The libraries are permanent store
houses Of knowledge in all It's
branches--of literary wealth in all
its forms. Yet 10 the library there
IS a certain chronological limitation,
comparatively remote or compare
lively recent, as the case may be,
and the student Of the times will not
infrequently find himself at loss
for information relative to the
world OF progress which has not yet
been entered upon the librarians
catalogue. Only the well conducted
newspaper, with its epitome Of
events and opinions and all that is
latest and best in human endeayor,
in scientific discovery, in artistic and
musical composition, in every de.
partment Of intellectual activity, in
the affairs Of nations, in philosophy
andreform, will supply the want and
enable him to keep full pace with
what is going on in the world about
him. Itbridges the distance between
the past and the present, the lapse
that otherwise exists between what
has happened or has been written
and what is now happening or being
written, between yesterday and to-
day, as it were, so there is no break
in the continuity Of the students
inquiry. Washington Post.

ALesson in Patience.

Mrs Bella Cooke, the English.
woman who has been patiently and
uncomplainingly lying on her back
bedridden for nearly forty years in a
little room on Second avenue, near
Twenty eight street, does not be-
lieye in suicide. Recently she re-
marked that although she was
seventy three years old, suffered
much pain, and had not moved from
her bed in nearly two score years,
she would not quit the world II she
could do so by merely moving her
finger. This sweet-faced, suffering
woman lies in bed planning how to
help the poor around her. Her rich
friends have amply provided for her,
and 1t is her pleasure to aid and en-
courage others whenever she hears
they arein distress. Some members
Of the Four Hundred visit this cheer
full but suffering woman aud en-
deavor to make her remaining days
as comfortable as possible. IN. Y.

peutics isalittle straw which shows,
saws the Boston Advertiser, which
way the wind is blowing among
some practitioners. There is no
doubt that the discovery Of cleo
tricity Increased the number OF
forces that may be used in the art
Of healing; and although electricity
as q medicine may be abused as well
as used, 1t is an unquestionable fact
that the electric fluid acts beneficial
" IN a number Of diseases. Ii can
hardly be said to be specific for
any disease, as Its action is physical
rather than chemical; but its use is
now sanctioned by all the regular
medical associations and there are
few Boston hospitals in which the
battery is not used, under the direc-
tlon Of a competent physician.
AS electricity itself is even yet a
mystery to science, so fer as its real
character is concerned, tits perhaps
fitting TINT the use Of electricity In
nervous affections, the most mys.
FERROUS Of modern diseases, should
have increased so notably in recent
years An indiscriminate use Of the
electric fluid is, OF course, worse
than no recourse whatever to such a
source; but proper application Of
the current acts as a decided stimu-
ulant to weak nerves and the
effect Of such a treatment, continued
over any satisfactory length of time,
is usually beneficial.
The use Of electricity also is not
confined TO curative work, but is
seen in pathology also. The electric
current catches the sound of respi-
ration and reproduces it by means
OF q telephone or photograph. A
small electric light is now employed
in determining physical conditions
which cannot be discerned by the
unaided eye or even byother meth.

parts by wholesale from the material
is nicely calculated to avoid waste, and
great sewing machines, one hundred or
two hundred or three hundred to-
gether, run cheaply by a single steam

Little of Importance Expected to Bs Ao-
complished This Wesk-The Tariff
Debate on Deck-Hawsiian
Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.--Although con-
gress reconvenes Wednesday, it is not
likely the senate will have quorum or
attempt any transaction of business be-
fore Monday. The most important bill
on the calendar is the federal elections,
and possibly speeches on this matter
may take up the latter half OF the week,
but it is not likely an attempt will he
made to pass 1t before next week. The
next senate will do comparatively little
until the house sends over the tariff and
appropriation bills.
The Hawaiian and tariff questio ne
will probably figure in the house. The
tariff debate will begin as soon as the
house reassembles Wednesday. The
Democratic leaders think the debate
should not last over two weeks, unless
the Repu blicans insist on the full read
ing of the bill. Wilson's opening speech
will be heard Wednesday, followed by
Burrows for the Republicans.
The tariff debate will be at the outset
antagonizsd by the Hawaiian matter, as
Boutelle has served notice that he will
call mp his resolution as q privileged
question to prevent embarrassment the
Democrats have practically decided to
let the Hawaiian matter come up FRI
day in the shape of the McCreary sub

COST OF ENGLISH CAMPAIGNS.

Ofdcia1 Returns Show That Recent Polit-
icsi Expenses Were Less Than Usual.
Chicago Herald: From an official re-.
turn just issued at tine instance OF Car.
veil Williams it is gathered that the
last general election entailed upon the
candidates less than the MAXIMUM
allowance Of expenditure. They were
entitled to an aggregate outlay OF
sl, l29, 430, but the actual amount certi-
fed is G95S, ,532. Still this is consider
able snm, and it may be taken that in
some form an appeal to the country
causes upward of one million sterling to
change handg. What was the approx
mate or average total before the passing
of Sir Henry James corrupt practices
act, which placed limit of ex.
pense beyond which . candidate
is forbidden to go, and abolished
the hiring of vehicles, we have now
no data upon which to base an estimate.
But there ia no doubt whatever that
the parliamentary aspirant has bene-
fted pecrnisrly and to material ex-
tent, by the check imposed upon the
wasteful and burdening extrsvagance OF
former days. And one might 60 80 lar
as to say that even yet there is room
Tor improvement. Each voter poiled IN
England cost shillings 2 pence in
generally irugal Scotland shillinga
pence. and in Ireland 2 shillings 834
pence. 1t is evidently more economical
to seek seat in the sister island than
in Great Britain. Indeed the National
lists claimed to have carried ont their
campaign for el5,00D, and If this esti-
mate be correct, a balance OF s35, 900
must have been disbursed by the
Unionists and Parnellites. The return
ing officers figure in the tables as recip-
tents OF about one fifth of the entire
outlay, while personal expenses" are
by comparison mere bsgatelie. It is
easy to understand why the side which
is victorious in a general election does
not usually desir an early dissolution
of parliament. The fine Is too heavy
to be frequently courted.

Conflicting Reports as to the Fate of tn

Conflicting Reports as to the Fate of the
Wilson Party.
CAPE Town. Dec. 31.-A dispatch from
Palapye, December 18th, announces that
native runners state there is not a doubt
that Captain Wilson's party was sur
rounded and killed. Chief Commissioner
Rhodes, during visit to Palapye, Bit
terly reproached King Khama for de-
serting Major Goold-Adams while the
latter's column was on the march. King
Khama replied that his men disagreed
with the white method of warefare and
feared they would fall victims to
the smallpox epidemic which had
broken out among the troops. The
king said his warriors were obliged
to return to field work as there was q
danger of their families wanting food.
A dispatch from Buluwayo. dated De-
cember "a. says there are rumors among
the natives that Captain Wilson is still
pursuing King Lo Bengula. The whites
of Cape Town are inclined to believe
the Buluwayo dispatch in preference
to the one from Palapye.
