than that used in support of the
claims made for the celebrated holy
coat of Treves. This sponge, which
is very ordinary looking, coarse
grained one about the size of a
goose's egg, and slightly forked at
the smaller end, is kept in small
reliquary or casket of solid gold,
which in turn is kept in another
oasket or box of pure massive silver
lined with white ermine skin. Ly-

which has been bored so as to make
it the receptacle of a few drops of
blood, which are tightly sealed up.

her girl friends, and they had got to
talking about wedding fees.

casually, and the bride blushed so
that they knew story lay behind

"There ism t anything to tell, she
protested, but they knew better, and
life was a burden for her until she
consented.
"Was it a 50 bill?" Ibid he give
the man the envelope when he
should have produced the ring?"

showered upon her, and at last she
yielded and coughed in the way
which they knew meant telling.

California Pearls.

"a The headquarters of the pearl fish
Dries of California are at La Paz.
The fisheries extend along the coast
for many miles. The divers work
from June to December, working
about three hours a day. A good
days work is IL shells, although
many collect more. They work in
large gangs, $50 men being not un-
usual. There are several thousand
shells to ton. Each diver has five
helpers, four attending to the pumps,
while the other looks out for the
line.
The diver takes a basket down
with him, which he fills with shells.
Then they are drawn up and put
aside to his credit When they are
opened, it is necessary to watch the
men very closely, the divers often
conoealing the pearls in their mouths
or in other ways and realizing large
sums for them. Their wages are
small, and the temptation to purloin
us very great. Some of the finest
pearls in the world have been taken
from California fisheries. In 1883
pearls valued at $4,000, $1,000 and
S., 600 were taken. A black pearl
was found for which Paris jeweler
paid $40, 600, selling it later for a
large increase on that sum. In adj.
dition to the pearls, the shells are of
great value, mother of pearl being
sent all over the world. New York

taken away by the disease which causes
over one sixth of all the deaths in the
world--the disease which doctors call con-
sumption. Consumption has been consid-
cred incurable, and the medical profession
has never made greater mistake than this;
There is absolutely no reason in the world
why consumption should be fatal why 1t

always by purifying and enriching the

so weak as to have lost the ability to recu-

covery will cure 90 per cent. of all cases of
consumption if used according to direc-

Last Salute at Appomattox.

A curious incident of the closing
scenes of the civil war, which has
not been recorded in the books, is
related by a correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. After Gen
eral Grant had received General
Lees terms of surrender at Apo
mattox and accepted them some one,
not General Grant, ordered the fir
ing of salute of 100 guns in token
of victory This salute General
Grant quickly stopped, as he wished
that every means should be taken to
spare the sensibilities of the brave
men who had surrendered.
The proceedings went on quietly,
and the surrender had been CON-
pleted. All was over, and peace had
succeeded war when a strange and
irregular fusillade of musketry was
heard from the late field of battle.
More than that, the air about the
field was filled with whistling bull
lets.
What had caused a reopening of
hostilities? Simply this: The mus
kets of the Confederate soldiers had
been allowed to remain stacked on
the field. So suddenly had the fight
ing ceased on the morning of the 9th
of April that thousands of pieces
were left loaded.
In some way the dry spring grass
on the field caught fire, and the blaze
ran among the stacked guns, They
were heated to the point of explo-
sion, and soon the fusillade began.
Most of the pieces were pointed up
ward, and the bullets rose until their
force was spent and then came down
to the ground. Others were pointed
at an angle and sent their balls far.
This was the only salute which ao-
companied the surrender of Lee.

platform and our party. We
may have learned, at least we
should have done SO by this
time, that by attempting to do
too much at one time, we have
tired and disguised many true
and wise men who were with us
ON the main issues; but who, ON
account of our extensive attitud-
es, have either neglected to vote
at all or, as a last resort, voted
against US. There are a few
great evils that must be removed
first, and after that-all things
will come in their season. Hosts
of the Peoples party see the
weakness of the past and are
working for a heroic remedy.
"Tis well We shall succeed.
But while we are willing to
make all reasonable changes,
many of our friends ask: What
signs are there that the Ameri-
can people will join with US. One
great one is that the people who
placed the present administra-
ton in power openly denounce
the wrongs of their highest Off
Gals against the people and, as
openly, advocate the leading
principles of our party. Anoth-
er is that the paper supporters
of the present administration and
the most of those of the Republi-
can party publish the most silly,
easily refuted falsehoods against
the Peoples party actions and
all others who are in line with
US, showing, very conclusively,
that they feel the weakness of
their position and their danger.
Brethren, the clouds are break
ing. The political parties of old

ed with each other. Men are
beginning to love party less and
country more. More and more

Another preacher has gone
wrong in Idaho, says the Moscow
Star. Formal charges have been
preferred against Rev. Daniel
Gamble, affecting his character
as man and his usefulness as a
minister of the gospel, in the
East Oregon presbytery, and a
committee has been appointed to
to take testimony in the case, to
be submitted at the October ses-
sion to the presbytery of East
Oregon, to be held at Pendleton
beginning October 8.
Rev. Gamble is accused of be-
ing a minister of the Presbyter-
ian faith. Then he is charged
with neglecting the means of
grace; that he neglects to attend
divine worship and refuses to
partake of the sacrament of the
Lords supper. He is also &C
cused of the sin of drunkenness,
but particulars are not given
He is likewise charged with
violating the Sabbath, in that he
permitted his wheat to be thresh-
ed on the Lords day. Then he
is accused of profanity. of taking
the name of the Lord in vain,

A Third Term-no, not for
Cleveland. And although he will
go out one of the most despised
persons by the American people
who ever occupied the presiden
tial chair, it is not for any one,
however good, TO enjoy a third
term as president of this great
nation. But there are other
special reasons why Mr.. Cleve-
land will not enjoy that exalted
position. First To get into
the presidency, at all, he had to,
and did, pledge himself to the
most servile obedience to the
rich. Little did we comprehend
his words at the time, but time
gave very lucid Interpretation.
He has kept his promise with
them; and as steadily destroyed
the body OF Americans. The
money power directs him-not
he the money power. They
have used him implicitly on all
occasions both with his pledges
and against his pledges; and
they are wise enough to know
even if he were a favorite with
the people, that third term
nomination would be against
their control. twill be altogeth-
er unnecessary for him to decline
a further nomination. He went
into office ignoring a second
term, and yet his record would
indicate pleasure in a fourth
term-not for you, Mr.. Cleve
land.
