APPEARANCES DECEIVE.

An Illustrative InstancS ReceniIy WI
messed I'm New York.
A young man who walked up Fifth
avenue the other evening wore . silk
hat and IN extremely long paddock
coat. He walked in listlcss way, al
IT he had nothing in particular to do.
and As If he would not do anything
were there something to be done. he
seemed to take little interest in any
thing. unless it were to avoid the little
puddIes at the street crossings and to
keep has shoes from getting splashed.
AS the young man walked along he
heard a loud shouting up the avenue,
and, looking in that direction in a
calm and deliberate way. he saw that
q cab horse was running away. The
horse was coming down the avenue at
a lively rate. and the driver, who was
clinging desperately to his box, was
yelling like Comanche Indian.
When a horse runs away in New
York, says the Tribune of that city,
there Is an earnest desire on the part
of all the people in the street to take
hand i'll the proceedings. What
happened in this case was just what
usually happens. Two or three men
would run out into the street, raise
their arms, wave them violently and
shout. The horse would move little
faster, the cabman would yell more
Justify, and those who had run out in
to the street would add their cries to
the general hubbub. This happened
at regular intervals.
But the calm young man who strolled
along in SO leisurely manner was evil
IDENTIFY not going to interfere with a
runaway horse. He stood on the edge
of the sidewalk watching the galloping
animal come tearing along. OF sud-
den, however, a change came over him.
When the horse had nearly reached
him his form Strengthened and he be-
came alert. At the minute when the
cab was opposite him he swung out
into the muddy street, and, running
like q deer, was almost instantly at
the horses head. They ran neck and
neck for a few seconds. Then the
young mans arm shot out swiftly, and
he had the plunging animal by the bit.
AS he ran he drew down the horses
head until the animal had either to
stop running or stumble and break its
neck. 1t stopped running.
In the crowd which pushed into the
street was an impulsive old gentleman,
who nervously threw open the door of
the cab. He assisted a man who was
inside to alight, and then, Selling him
by the arm, led him up to the young
man who had stopped the horse. He
was scolding the driver in mild voice
for being SO careless as to allow his
horse to get the bit between its teeth.
There" cried the excitable old
gentleman, in an admiring voice, lis the
young man to whom you are indebted
for saving your life"
But the young life saver" said, with
almost drawl: mo thanks are neces-
sary. It's very easy matter to stop
q runaway horse" Then he stopped
over and rolled up his trousers. bowed
to the man whom he had saved" and,
the sidewalk, sauntered. up
the avenue.

A few days ago, writes the Paris cor.
respondent of the Philadelphia Tele.
graph, there passed away from a
troublous life the widow of the great
artist, Jean Baptiste Francois Millet.
1t n rather . commentary on the
strange ways Of this world, the fact
that tho man whose picture, ''rAnge-
lus." brought SO fabplously high a
price, sold that and many other mas
tsrpieces for sums ranging from Fifty

Anxiety and privation, not knowing
that his fame would speedily be Iauded
to the skies.
His family survived to see the apo
theosis of his glory; but whether the
fact of THE Angelus" bringing at q sale
over one hundred thousand dollars con-
soled the artists widow for the fact
that, within q week after this amount
of money had been paid for her hus-
bands work, she herself. then in the
depths of poverty, was elected from her
little house at Barbizon by the fore

dollars and. had 1t not been for the
charity of her son-in-lsw, would have

an unsolved mystery.

PRAISE FOR THE KEARsARoE.
4 British View of the Famous Battle
with the Alabama.

a British View of the Famous Bottle
with the Alabauua.
The old Kearsargs, which sank the
Alabama, has herself come to a vio-
lent end. She was wrecked q few days
ago in the Caribbean sea, happily with
out loss of life. 1t Is all but thirty
years, says the London News, since
she fought her great fight off Cher
bourg, so she has kept the seas . long
time. She deserved an honored place
on the retired list of the American
navy, for she had claims on national
gratitude only second to those Of the
Constitution. Her fight with the Ala
bams was a duel conducted very much
on the model Of the old personal con-
tests in the age of chivalry. After .
hot pursuit she had at last cornered the
confederate cruiser which had wrought
SO much ruin to American commerce,
and 1t was well understood that pur-
suer or pursued must perish She
watched the mouth Of Cherbourg hsr-
Dor, 4, which her enemy was under
short notice to leave.N and the

ton below God and above man, such as
Paul seems to assign him in some OF his
Epistles, especially in the fifteenth chap
ter of Corinthians. But all these discus
siOns about the rank OF Jesus, based upon
miraculous credentials or attestations,
have proved OF little or no value in settling
his spiritual rank. That must be deter
mined not by his glory in the clouds, not
by Messianic pomp and circumstance,
or the marvellous legends with which hu-
man love has invested him, but by the
power of his life, spirit and precepts upon
the heart and lie of humanity. 1t is not
only the relation of Jesus to God that de-
termines his leadership, but his relation
to humanity. He is our Master, not be-
cause he was declared to be so, but be-
cause he was so. In crossing the Alps
one may find in the valleys the guide
with his certificate of ability from the as
sociation which has accredited him.
When we engage him we take him on
the authority of his credentials; but when
he leads us over glacier, crevasse and
precipice, we follow him, not merely be-
cause of reports about him, but because
we perceive that he is above US and be-
yond US: because ne knows the way. so
Jesus is our leader because he leads. lie
is not creator, but revealer."
