clared that in all engineering en-
terprises he reckoned that one man

regard this as an extravagant esti-
mate, though in the case of the
Forth bridge the proportion Of
lives lost was considerably greater
than that stated by the French
engineer, no less than fifty five

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune:

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: Mrs.
Lease, the noted Kansas Popullst
orator, has cancelled her engage
ment to speak in New York, with
the remark: II am physically
wrecked for this season." It is said
that the ingratitude of her party
associates has had as much to do
with wrecking Mrs. Leases health
as anything else. She is the most
brilliant Populist in Kansas, as
Ignatius Donnelly is in Minnesota
and it is singular coincidence
that in both States the smaller fry
of the party are plotting to down
their brainiest leaders.

Charity.
j. Corinthians, Chapter KILL

j. Corinthians, Chapter KILL
Though | speak With the tongues
of men and angels, and have not
charity, | am become as sounding
brass, OF tinkling cymbal.
Aud though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all myste-
ries, and all knowledge; and though
have all faith, so that could re-
move mountains, aud have not chari-
ty, l am nothing.
And though l bestow all my goods
to feed the poor, and though l give
my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her owD, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth
not 10 iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth; beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endur-
eth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether
there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall
cease; whether there be knowledge,
it shall vanish away.
For We know in part, and We
prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is
come, then that which is in part
shall be done away.
When l was child, I spake as a
child, 1 understood as child, |
thought as child; but when l be-
came a man, put away childish
things.
For now We see through a glass,
darkly; but then face to face; now l
know in part; then shall know even
as also | am known.
And now abideth faith, hope and
charity, these three; but the great
est OF these is charity.
