Frans Hals' yisitor.

A story is told of a visit paid to Trans Halls, the famous old Dutch painter, by Vandyke. The latter was then g, Halls 15 years his senior As a pleasantly Vandyke suppressed his name, announcing himself as a wealthy stranger who wished to sit for his portrait, but who had only a couple of hours to spare. Halls fell to with his usual impetuosity and com pleted a portrait for the sitter's in spection in even less than the limited time, much to the satisfaction of the latter, who expressed an astonish- ment not altogether feigned at the speed of its execution.
 Surely, said he, painting is an easier thing than l thought. Sup pose we change places and see what I can do.n The exchange was made. Halls instantly detected that the per son before him was no stranger to the brush. He speculated in vain as to who he might be But when the second portrait was finished in still less time than the first the mystery was solved Rushing to his guest, he clasped him in a fraternal embrace. ''The man who can do that, he cried, must be either Vandyke or the devil. Popular Magazine

Freemasonry of Trade.

The Freemasonry of trade appears to be extending all round this jolly earth. The time may come when 1t will be possible to have ones apparel, purchased in New York, put in order free wherever one may happen to be Here is a natter who announces that his silk hats can he ironed free of charge in 67 cities located in 27 Amer ican states and territories and three foreign countries. There does not appear to be any good reason why a man should not have a button sewed on his New York shoe in Kalamazoo or Timbuctoo, and it is by no means improbable that he may one day have his metropolitan coat pressed free of charge in Yokohama or in Melbourne, to say nothing of Con stantinople and Canandaigua.

 The silent chariot standeth at the door; The house Is hushed and still from roof to hoor. None heard the sound of its mysterious wheels, Yet each its presence feels No chAmping bit, no tramp of paving steed' All dark and silent up and down the street. And yet thou mayst not keep it waiting there For one last kiss or prayer. Thy words, with some strange other inter
 changed, Strike cold across US like loved eyes estranged With things that are not fraught, or things
 that are
 Fade like a sun struck star. And thou, too weak and agoniEed to lift The cup to Quench thy dying thirst or shift Thy pillows now without our help must rise Nor wait our ministries. Thou, loved and cherished, must go forth alone. None see thee fondly to the door, not one. No head is turned to see thee go; We stay Where thou art not and pray. No panel bars thy white, resistless feet; Our walls are mist to thee; out on the street It waits, it waits for thee. for thee alone Arise, let us begOne! Alone. alone upon thine awful wsyl Do any show thee kindness, any stay Thy heart, or does the silent charioteer Whisper, Be of good oheerS" We know not; none may follow thee afar. None hear the sound of thy departing car. Only vast silence, like a strong black sea,

A Power For Doing Good.

Local papers do more good in showing up the resources of the country in which they are published than hundred write ups in metro politau papers would accomplish If they have anything of import ance to say of their locality it will be copied into from ten 10 forty or more exchanges, and thus is given gr ater publicity than any one metropolitan journal could give it. To illustrate this fact: One year ago the editor of the Miner was con ducting the Eye, at Needles, Cali fornia. A write up of the Wander bilt country was given that was republished in fifty dailies and Weeklies throughout the country, with a combined circulation of over 300,0OO. Thus this article reached fully 100000 readers. Few people recognize the power of the local paper for good, but this is to be expected of small communities MohaVe Miner.

Bishop Stanley, the deans father, was disappointed in his wish to be sailor, for which he was admirably fitted. He ruled Alderley exactly as a captain rules his ship. He gave premiums or prizes for cleanliness and punished parishioners by good naturedly declining to enter house if it was not tidy, and turned away, saying he would ''come back when it was clean" He even got the keepers of the inns to put up placards m their parlors and bars in commendation of temperance.

Republican Party.

The republican party is having the greatest opportunity since the birth of of the anti-slavery senti- ment Tn lS50-52; and in fact it may be said that no political organiza- ton has had the opportunity now presented by the republican party. Tine democratic party has again demonstrated it's burro like inability to direct the affairs of the nation; the financial tactics of that party which almost ruined the country in Buchanan's time are again displayed with like results under Cleveland; the tariff IS being tinkered and iabbed at without a shadow of intelligence; the world has stood aghast at the spectacle of an Ameri- can president attempting to restore a licentious aud absolute Sandwich Island queen to her deservedly lost throne: silver, one of the standards of value, has been demOnetized and dishonored, with most deplorable results: and, in fact, when one comes 10 figure up the aggregate losses to HIS EAnIO NhC OAOCNACh OA Cleveland was announced, the fig ures run up over the billion mark by considerable.
 The entire policy of the present democratic administration seems to be to oEerturn everything done by the preceding republican admins traitor ou the general principle that
 hlTnon nngrCt necessarily be bad. How successful this new piece of political lunacy proved was illustrated in the un- paralleled republican clean up that has recently been made all over the country. Harper's Weekly made great capital over attacking Andy Johnson's "The Constitution as l See It g; there is no reason why similar capital should not be made out of Clevnland's domineering autocracy in laying down his ulti- matum on the silver and tariff ques- tions.
 The republican party IS being swept back into power on the crest of tremendous tidal wave, and the dDDfOaCuluS SNdAS anu llAuulSApoA campaigns promise to be nerve para lYzers for the national administra- tlon. If Mir Cleveland wishes to regain his lost prestige and stop thls terrible sliding down hill of the nations welfare, let him restore silver to its rightful place as one of the two standards of value with ratio to gold of l6 to l; let him stop fooling with the tariff which has thrown the country into such chaos; let him throw Queen Lii overheard; and. above all. let him follow the sage advice of Andrew J.

private message of sympathy TO the

The Glasgow Herald etates that while
the czsr was Ill Mr.. Gladstone sent
dispatch to his majesty conveying the
expression of his deep ana respectful
sympathy. The czar, in reply, sent
message couched in warm terms, thank-
ing Mr.. Gladstone for his sympathy.
rhie message OF Mr.. Gladstone's was in
reciprocetion of the personal inquiries
the czar made when the ex-prime MIN
ister'e eyes were affected.
The Daily News' correspondent in Paris
says: If the news of the czar's death
had arrived early there would have
been doubtless some spontaneous de-
monstration, es great crowds OF working
men were abroad placing wreaths ON the
graves in the cemetary in observance OF
all Ssints' dsy. Despite the fact that
the event was expected, everybody
seemed surprised and hundreds gathered
in the boulevard des Bategnolles to
consult as to the best way of showing
sympathy. sItawas agreed forthwith
that they should procure flowers and
convey them to the embassy. They
found the shops in the vicinity sold
out and so the impulse died out.
