DepeM,a Cish Story.

Mr.. Depew's fishing experience is Il
subjective one, or passive one, as he
does not fish for himself with hook
and line. But my fish story is n re-
markable one," he declares. For
many years my numerous friends have
honored me by sending me their first
salmon catch of the season. 1t began
fully ten years ago from a dinner
speech of mine, when l requested all
the guests to send me big fish in the
spring. That year, by preconcerted
action, they managed to deliver all the
fish on the same day, and my house
was filled with them. Now, if you ap-
proach my home any pleasant day in
late spring you will see u messenger
boy struggling under the weight of
pail of ice. What have you got there,
my little man?' you ask. oh, big salm-
on packed in ice for Mr.. Depew,' he
will answer. Sometimes have count
ed twenty messenger boys distributing
along the road from my country house
to the station. And my cellar is over
flowing with cracked ice and salmon.
Of course l send a few to my neigh
bors, and the rest have picked, and
mighty good it is that way. But the
most pleasing part of my fishing ex-
perience comes in when I meet the
people who have sent the fish. Your
salmon was the finest ever in my life
tasted is what l invariably say to
each and every one."-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Last Moments of a Queen.

At ten o'clock the turnkey, Lariviere,
was sent by the concierge into the
cell, and to him we owe some knowl-
edge of what passed there. Marie An
toinette said to him, sadly: "Laripiere,
vous avez qu'on va ma faire MOURN.
Dites a votre respectable mere" (the
fishwife could not have been presently
que je la remercie de ses SONS, eft que
je la charge de prier Dieu poir moi"
Three judges, accompanied by the
greffier Fabricius, entered the cell
The queen was kneeling in prayer
against her little bed, but rose to re-
ceive the functionaries. They told her
to attend, as her sentence was to be
read to her. She replied, in firm
voice: "Such a reading is useless. l
know the sentence only: too we'll"
They insisted, and the clerk read the
document. At that moment Henri
Samson appeared, n young man of gil
gantic stature. He said, roughly, to
the poor woman: Hold out your
hands" Her majesty retreated stop
and pleaded that the king had not
been bound. "Fais ton devoirl'' cried
the judges to Samson. "Oh, mon Dieul'
cried the wretched queen. She thought
that she was then and there to be as.
sasiuated. Samson roughly seized the
shrinking hands and tied them with
cruel force too tight behind her back
She looked up to heaven and tried to
restrain her tears. Her hair, when
cut off, Samson thrust into his pocket,
and 1T was burned in the vestibule.-

Unnecessary Excitement.

A little unnecessary excitement has
been aroused lately by the discovery
that some Birmingham metal manu-
facturers have been making idols to
be worshipped by the heather in In
dia. They probably executed orders
for which they were we'll paid, and 1t
was hardly their business to stipulate
that their wares should be used for
ornament only. Besides, before we
are too hard on the heather, we
should remember that if their idols of
gold and silver were melted down and
sent to the mint, they would roappear
disguised as coin OF the realm, and a
good many Christians would Worship
them then.--Iron Age.

HELPS TO SUPPRESS CRIME.
Influence of the Electric Light on the
Slums OF Great Cities.

Influence of the Electric Light on the
Slums OF Great Cities.
London is abolishing her criminals
by abolishing the conditions which
create them. Man is a creature of en-.
vironment to a greater degree than
most persons or most municipalities
understand. Sociologists have proved
time and again that the undeveloped
human and animal will remain unde
veloped just SO long as he is in the
midst of undeveloped surroundings.
Place him among the educated things,
even though they be but educated-rc-
fined and perfected-bricks and NOR
tar, and he will feel their influence
with n rapidity that is not less than
amazing to the student. The expert
ment has been tried in the slum dis
tricts of New York city. The construc-
ton of some model tenements on East
Fourteenth street reduced the crime
record of the neighborhood by a con-
siderable percentage, although they
did not reduce, but rather increased,
its population, and did not change its
personnel ut ak. The old buildings
which the new dwellings thus replaced
had been of character to encourage
filthy and morbid living, and so de-
velop crime. The new buildings were
of a nature to encourage cleanliness
and normal home life and SO develop
morality. Philadelphia was overrun
by thugs and highway robbers and the
general genus tough. Her dark alleys,
narrow and gloomy, afforded countless
opportunities for assaults and hiding
hooks for criminals. BY and by the
city introduced the electric light into
them all and, presto! came change.
Crime had dropped fifteen per cent. by
the time the system was completed.
Even the men who urged the improve
ment were amazed.-Boston Herald.

IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.

That there is a decided improve
ment in business in the East is gen.
orally conceded by the press. That
prices are generally lower than they
were few years ago is also admitted.
Bradstreets, which is accepted as an
authority, gives the number of fail
ures for the past six months of the
current year at 6,597, as against $3.50
for the first half of 1894. The num-
Der Of failures from January to July
l, 1895, has not been exceeded since
1879 il then. There is no great diff
ference in the liabilities of those who
failed in business in the first half of
1894 and the corresponding period of
1895. In 1894 they were SS2,555, 1889,
and in 1895 they were S79,707, 1861. The
difference in the assets Of those who
failed in 1875 were about the same.
The largest number of failures are
reported from Minnesota, Nebraska,
Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and Mon
tana. All of those States, with the
exception of Montana, are agricul.
tural, and the partial failure of crops
and low prices of products are sup
posed to be the causes of the increase
of failures
For the first three months of 1895
the failures numbered 1872, and for
the second quarter 2,785. The iabil-
tiles for the first quarter were S46,910,-
443 as against, SD .797, 4l8 for the sec
ond quarter.
Brodstreets says that many conserv-
ative men think the revival in bust
ness is too sudden and rapid to indi-
cate permanency after such IL severe
panic as the country has experienced,
but the majority account for the i'm.
petus by the fact that stocks were
greatly reduced and, therefore, be-
ieve that present and future demands
will maintain the increased activity
now so general in the east,
The agricultural sections of the
country do not show much signs of
Improvement. Wheat, the staple pro.
duct OF the west, is low, and cotton,
the great product of the south, is
cheaper than ever before. In the
manufacturing States there is Il
marked improvement. The prices of
steel and iron have been advanced,
and there is brisk demand for the
metals. In New England there is al
SO a revival of business and the fac
torres are running steadily, there be-
ing an increased demand for cotton
and wooden goods, and if there was
more money in circulation in the west
and south, so as to keep up the de.
mand for manufactures, and en-
courage new enterprises, the country
would be fairly prosperous, as COM
pared with two years ago.

among the railway people all over the
east. "Riots and ructions" had fol-
lowed. The militia and police were
whipped. The regiment had been
whisked in from the field, piled into
passenger cars, and sent away towards
Omaha, and they, the wounded Of the
Indian war, were losing this trip to
civilization and beyond. Next day
Rhett and his men were suddenly tele-
graphed for, and again was Capt. Nor
gan both ordnance and commanding
officer
And then one beautiful spring day
Schramm sent for Mrs. Hinkel and his
box. and she, weeping, came to Con-
stance, and together they appealed to
Morgan, and then the old man in the
new shoulder straps realized that the
matter could be no longer hidden, and
before nightfall Schramm learned that
he was under the surveillance of the
sheriff, charged with being accessory
to the robbery OF Paymaster Graves, at
least to the extent of receiving and
concealing certain part of the money.

"No, not alone" said Morgan. "We
believe you guiltless and mean to see
you through" And then Col. Rand
came out to see him. What Rand
wanted was to know what had been
done with the papers, etc, taken from
the civilian who died of his wounds at
the cove. All Schultz effects, of
course, were in the hands of the Off
GERS whose duty it was to take charge
of the papers and property Of deceased
soldiers. Rand said the boy had been
taken to an asylum and was recovering,
but had neither money nor papers Of
any kind. Schramm could hardly be
persuaded to sit in the presence of an
officer of such distinction as Rand, but
succumbed to orders. A wallet with
letters and papers and little money,
silver watch and tobacco-box, had
been taken from the body before burial.
These were all turned over to Capt.
Fenton when he came. The mans
name was Stearns, and his post office
address Minden. And then up jumped
Rand with light in his eyes.

Juvenile Magazine Notes.

First to mention is the St.Nicholas. The
January number has delightful air OF
festivities about it. A new serial story de-
signed especially for girls is begun here by
Jessie.M. Anderson, the title OF which is
"Three Freshmen Ruth, Fran and Nathlie"
which makes life familiar at Smith college
to those who may not get inside its walls.
G. F. Holder writes Of "Rogue Elephants
in very engaging manner, and equally
entertaining is "Tim Sheridan, who saves
the life OF an officer and wins Christmas
goose. Besides these there are pages and
pages OF reading for little folks and big
folks and pictures that are as telling as
the text. aThe Song OF the Year" is an
especial attraction. Brander Matthews
paper on Emerson is deserving OF special
mention and in connection with 1t we
have Emerson's portrait and portrait OF
the Emerson house at Concord.

A WELL-EARNED MEDAL.
Gallant Act of Bravery Rewarded
by r1ark of Honor.

The cause for which the medal o.
honor was issued by Congress to FRS
Sergeant Carlos Ii. Rich, Co. ID, 4tf
Vermont Volunteers, for gallantry al
the Battle of the Wilderness, May 5,
1864, is worthy of more extensive no.
tice than has been given heretofore
On the date named the old Vermont
brigade was stationed near the juno
ton of the Orange county and Brock
roads. AT about 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, the 4th Vermont Volunteers,
with other regiments of the old Ver-
mont brigade, charged upon the enc
my's line. The fighting was severe
and the loss heavy. After the charge
the line was reorganized, and the Of
ficers and men cared for the killed and
wounded. Sergeant Rich crawled to
the front on his hands and knees and
found First Lieut.. f. w. Carter (af-
forwards captain) of his company ly-
ing on the ground face downward.
He turned him over and found that
he had been shot through the abdo-
men and the right hand. Sergeant
Rich told the officer that he was out
there to see if he could find some of
the officers, and Lieut.. Carter then
ordered Sergeant Rich to go back and
take command of the company, stating
that nothing more could be done for
him. The sergeant then crawled back
to the line and, finding Lieut.. Carriers
brother, asked him to go out and help
bring the officer in. They started to
carry Carter, and as they lifted him
from the ground, bullet struck the
lieutenant in the left leg just above the
knee. The two soldiers then turned
him around and dragged him by the
shoulders back into the Union line.
During this entire transaction, the
Confederates and the Union troops
were having severe battle and these
men were between the lines.
Sergeant Rich's company in this
battle lost by killed and wounded 80
men out of 43 taken into action, and
in the next days battle he was the
first soldier in his company to be
wounded. On no Vermont soldier
has the medal of honor SO highly
priced by the boys in blue been more
worthily bestowed than on Sergeant
Rich, who, since the war has been in
Roxbury, VT, and who is as good
citizen as he was gallant soldier.
