THE PATH OF DUTY.

The melancholy breeze of Autumn blew the door of the editorial room open and waited in a dejected and heavy laden stranger. There was no fire in his eye and he seemed to be devoid of even local pride. Our first thought was that the wayfaring man of the Register had called to pay his respects and confess that his unfortunate though" attachment had caused him to err in becoming subscriber to the Register. But it was not he. It was a delegate from large body of citizens of New Haven, who had appointed him to tell his and their sad story and to ask if there was any relief in sight for him and them. Said he: I represent myself and those who sent me. My story is the same as theirs and theirs is the same as mine. Lend me a sym pathetic ear until can briefly tell it. I am either child of destiny or what is-it. I was born with a song of praise in my mouth for General Mer- win. I grew up with one o'ermastering desire in my childhood and my youth full breast. That desire was that might be twenty-one years old so that I could vote for General Merwin. came to the voting age and then I ex- ultingly voted for him. Then I wanted to be twenty-two, in order that I could vote again for him. And so on and so forth. I counted that year lost in which I did not vote at least once for him. I voted for him as often as I had an opportunity and l had many opportunities. married, and my two boys were destined from birth to be voters for him. And though they are only children yet they will probably have a chance to fulfill their destiny. But I am aweary and dubious. For nearly thirty years I have had no lack of zeal and no doubt as to what I was born for. But am tired and preyed upon by monotony. look backward and I see that have been man of but one idea, and I am little uncer- tain about the dimensions of that idea. I look forward and I ask myself if life contains for me naught but that which it has hitherto contained for me-
 My lot seems painfully contracted and it has become almost as melancholy as a lot in the cemetery. They talk about sympathy for General Merwin. How about sympathy for me? Driven by relentless fate I have lived only to vote for General Merwin. Must continue to so live, or can escape? Is it my duty to try to escape, or shall look upon con- tinual voting for him as a pious, even though an irksome and a wearing duty. And if I do try to escape shall I have peace or shall I be harassed by a conscience which has been trained to look upon an annual vote for General Merwin as a sacred duty7 Tell me, good sir, that and those whom I represent may do that which shall rnSke for our peace and happiness, and if not for our peace and happiness for our safety in duty.
 Thus the mournful one. And thus his advisers, Unsssy and doubtful dele

ANovel Way of Saving Vessel on Fire.


 One of the most brilliant pieces of ocean-wrecking seamanship on record, whereby the vessel, far out in the At- lantic with her cargo on fire, was saved and brought safely to port, was per. formed on board the American ship John Jay, commanded by Captain Sam uel Jackson. ;
 When two weeks out the cargo was discovered to be on fire. The captain determined upon his course of action. He had the carpenter lowered over the rail, and instructed him to bore several holes low down by the water line" The vessel was then put on the other tack so that she would be heeled over on the side where the holes had been made. e,s The water shot through these open- ings, and after the ship had been al, lowed to sink almost to the level a. deck, she was put around on the other tack again, so that the holes came with. in two or three feet of the top of the water. Several of the sailors with lines made fast under their arms and hold ing long wooden pegs and hammers slid down along the side, steadyine themselves by ropes that had been passed under the vessel and hauled

 Washington, Aug. 24.-The presidents 5 intimates to-day are more numerous than they were in his first administra. tion, but they are not members of his cabinet. nor do they rank in that class. Some of them are queer lot. By the term "intimates" Is meant those not of. ficially connected with the president, but who have the privilege of dropping in on him. With the exception of Sec retary Lamont and Postmaster-G General Bissell, no member of the cabinet may be said to enjoy this distinction. Sec. retary Carlisle did have 1t at one time, but he and the president are not as "chummy" as they were. Time was when they spent 1xxs and nights at

The assessment laws of New Jersey provide that all real estate shall be assessed at its full value, and that as- sessors shall take oath that they have made the assessments on that basis, No such assessment, however, is ever made, and the assessors in taking the oath do 50 with a mental reservation" that it is not to be accepted literally. One of the assessors of Bergen county last week, at the meeting of the board of assessors, refused to take the usual oath, on the ground that to do so would be to perjure himself, and the board unanimously adopted resolution ask ing the legislature to repeal the part of the law requiring such m oath.

Experiments with glass building bricks were begun in 1891 by M. Fall confer, an architect of Lyons. These bricks are hollow. being blown like bottles. and are given forms-such as cubes, hexagons, etc., that permit of ready laying. A bituminous cement, with base of asphalt, is used with them. The bricks serve as double win- dows, giving protection against both cold and heat; they are good insulators of humidity and noise, and they lend themselves readily to the decoration of buildings, either by their form or color The bricks are heater than marble fin meat markets, and especially adapted for bath halls, hot-houses, hospitals refrigerating establishments and build- ings in which an absence of windows would be an advantage. A hot-house of glass bricks is of about ordinary cost, saves fuel and rasists hail.

What viii Become of Me 2

AT the Christian Workers Mission
last night, sixteen unfortunate men
were housed. This morning as they
went to breakfast, there was one poor
fellow, thin and miserable. looking,
with graveyard cough, who was
somewhat tardy. Hurry up, my
man." said the missionary" "they are
all gone to breakfast" ~ will not inn
pose on you for a breakfast" said the
man; you kept me kindly all night,
and can't impose any more" "Non-
sense P' said the missionary; "get your
breakfast when you can. l never said
anything about imposition; go right
along" AS he went. the heart of the
missionary was particularly touched.
".Stop! said he; would you like to go 10
work." / can't work, said the man,
81 am very sick. l have lost twenty
pounds, and my lungs are very bad.
Oh, don't know what will become of
me! / came from Missouri to Califor.
mia little while ago and got nothing
to do" 1t was pitiable case. Orders
were given him to return after break
fast. He came back. He was given a
chance to shaYe, boil his clothes, and
bathe himself, and was then put to bed
for the day, medicine being given him
while his clothes dried. What will
become of him? And of thousands
like him? Can any think shelter like
that OF the Mission, is BOT necessity?
Many poor fellows think 1t boon In
these very slack times.
