 Everybody who has visited Niagara falls has heard of the Maid of the Mist. Her history is interesting. She was built in 1851 for navigation between the American and Canadian shores of the Niagara juGt below Niagara falls. She was 72 feet long, with F feet breadth of beam and feet depth of hold, and she carried an engine of 100 horse power. After seven years service her owner desired to sell her. He received an offer of littIe more than half her cost if he would deliver her at Niagara, opposite the fort, and after consulting with her captain and pilot, Joel R. Rob- inson, he decided to accept the offer. Robinson consented to act as pilot for the fearful voyage, Jones, the engineer, agreed to accompany him, and ma chinist nam-d Mcintyre volunteered to share the risk with them.
 On June l5, 1861, in the presence of a large crowd, the little vessel left the dock, which was just above the suspsn- sion bridge, ran up the eddy short dis tance, cleared the smooth water and shot like an arrow into the rapid under the bridge. When third of the way down, she was struck by jet of water which carried away her smokestack and keeled her over. But she speedily righted, and after receiving another drenching from the waves dashed on without further &C., cident to the quiet bosom of the river below Lewiston. New York Adver- tiser.

 There is one kind of merchant detest- sblo to the travelling man, and that is Tho individual who knows it all and or lors his goods direct from the house, instead of allowing tho traveller to take is order There is such a man in town not many miles from Indianapolis. IIe has no use for travelling men, and if eno of them happens to drop into his ,.ore the old grocery keeper either ig- : ores him altogether or gives him ter i.ble tongue flashing. The old fellow ';3s caught once, however, and those who have been unfortunate enough to run up against him are wondering how is was Lone. The man who sold him a lill of goods heard before be reached the town what a tough old customer ho was, and he made up his mind to sell him bill of goods or die iI he attempt. To had Eeen told how every scheme failed, and he resolved to try ncw game-that of making him mad. He wont into the store bright and carly, whistling merry tune. The proprietor was back at his desk, and the drummer "braced" tho clerk.
 "Where is it?' he asked
 "What, where, how?" exclaimed the clerk. half scared to death. "The chief niogul, the high mucka- muck, his royal nibs, his jaglets, the boss. .. answered the travelling man.
 "Oh, you mean MT. S.. There he is, back there. !"
 Tho travelling man walked back to tho desk and tossed his card over to the grocery keeper ''Is this MT. S--?" he asked.
 The grocery keeper kept on writing man than if he were post. "Say, you baldheaded old guy, if you are deaf and dumb, why don't you hang sign on your back so people will know it?'
 Tho last remark brought the old fel- low to time, and he opened out in great shape.
 "Young man." he said, ''I don't want anything to do with you, and, moreover, do not propose to be insult ed in my own house. If you are not out of here in one minute, l will either throw you into the street or call the po- lice and have you arrested. ''The - you will," replied the drummer "I don't know about that. l represent the we'll known firm of Seize Ill & Holden of Indianapolis, and l i came here to sell you bill of goods. | You have the reputation of killing a travelling man every day, simply be- cause he is trying to earn an honest liv- ing. Every body in Indianapolis told me that it was impossible to sell you any thing. They said your entrants were half flies, your cheese moldy, and that you were back number. told them they lied, and now, to prove that they do not know what they are talking i about, want to send in your order"
 The travelling man opened up his sample case and sold a good order. His nerve did it.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

 After awhile see another throng ap- proach the gate, and one seems to be spokesman for all the rest, although their voices ever and anon cry, Amen, amenn' This one stands at the gate and says: Let me in. I was wanderer from God. I deserved to die. l have come up to this place, not because de- serve it, but because I have heard that there is saving power in the blood of Jesus" The gatekeeper says, That is the password, Jesus JesusP" " And they go in and surround the throne, and the cry is, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive blessing and riches and honor and glory and power, world with out endr'
 I stand here this hour to invite you into any one of the 12 gates. l tell you now that unless your heart is changed by the grace of God you cannot get in. I do not care where you come from, or who your father was, or who your mother was, or what your brilliant sur roundings-unless you repent of your sin and take Christ for your divine Sa- viour you cannot get in. Are you will ing, then, this moment, just where you are, to kneel down and cry to the Lord Almighty for his deliverance?
 You want to get in, do you not? Oh, you have some good friends there. This last year there was some one who went out from your home into that blessed place. They did not have any trouble getting through the gates, did they? No, they knew the blessed password, and, coming up, they said ".Jesusn' and the cry was, Lift mp your heads, ye everlasting gates, and let them come in Oh, when heaven is all done and the troops of God shout the castle taken, how grand it will be if you and l are among them! Blessed are all they who enter ill through the gates into the city.

In the third place, notice the points of the compass toward which these gates look. They are not on one side. or on two sides, or on three sides, but on four sides. This is no fancy of mine,
 but distinct announcement. On the north three gates, on the south three gates, on the east three gates, on the west three gates. What does that mean? Why, it means that all nationalities are included, and it does not make any diff ference from what quarter of the earth a man comes up; if bis heart is right,
 there is gate open before him. On the north three gates. That means mercy for Lapland and Siberia and Norway and Sweden. On the south three gates.

doors set wide open with no one to guard them, all tho vicious of earth would go up after awhile, and all the abandoned of hell would go up after awhile, and heaven, instead of being world of light and joy and peace and blessedness, would be a world of darkness and hor- TOT. So I am glad to tell you that, while these 12 gates stand open to let great multitude in, there are 12 angels to keep some people out. Robespierre can not go through there, nor Hildebrand, nor Nero, nor any of the debauched of earth who have not repented of their wickedness. If one of those nefarious men who despised God should come to the gate, one of tho keepers would put his hand on his shoulder and push him into outer darkness. There is no place in that land for thieves and liars and whoremongers and defrauders, and all those who disgraced their race and fought against their God. If a miser should get in there, he would pull up the golden pavement. If house burner should get ill there, he would set fire to the mansion. If libertine should get ill there, he would whisper his abomina- tions standing on the white coral of the seabeach. Only those who are blood washed and prayer tipped will get through. Oh, my brother, if you should at last come up to one of the gates and try to get through, and you had not a pass written by the crushed hand of the son of God, the gatekeeper would, with one glance, wither you forever.
 There will be password at the gate of heaven. Do you know what that password is? Here comes crowd of souls up to the gate, and they say: Let me in; let me in. I was very useful on earth. endowed colleges, built church. es and was famous for my charities, and having done so many wonderful things for the world 1 come up to get my reward" A voice from within says, ''I never knew you.

AT LiGHTHousE POINT.

Large Numbers of People Go For an
 Outing to This Popular Res0rt-A Pic
 mic at the Grove-Fine Bathing in the
 Waters of the sound.
 Crowded cars left the green during the afternoon Saturday headed for Light house Point. The day was all that could be desired, fresh southwesterly breeze making the ride very enjoyable one, and the happy faces of all, both old and young, told their appreciation of the trip. Lighthouse Point presented a fine appearance, the spacious grove being filled with people before the middle of the afternoon, one of the attractions there Saturday being a picnic given by the Carriage IroneFs' association. Fine music was furnished for those desiring to dance, and the large dancing pavilion in the grove was generally we'll filled with a happy throng. Down on the shore hundreds availed themselves of the opportunity to bathe in the waters of the sound and the fresh breeze ere ated strong surf that, as it played pranls with the bathers, afforded much merriment to both those in the water and those on the shore. As the evening approached the wind increased with the incoming tide and by o'clock the rock bound coast in the vicinity of the old light was lashed in furious manner by the seething waters, and the scene was very much enjoyed by the throngs of visitors. Besides the people arriving by cars, large numbers came in yachts and the landing in several instances was intently watched from the grove, as the somewhat perilous journey from the yachts to the shore was effected by means of smaller boats. The white capped waves caused the rowboats 10 dance upon the water like so many corks. The genial proprietors of the Grove house, Messrs, Gillen & Quinn, had their hands full to cater to all the wants of the multitude, but they proved themselves capable managers and all felt that they had selected the right spot to spend anl afternoon by the shore During the afternoon workmen were busy putting up electric lights through out the grove, so that when the journey was made from the Point to the start Ing place of the cars their pathway was well-lighted one, and Messrs Gillen & Quinn were much complimented on this improvement. This Is to be a perma- nent fixture at the grove It was late at night before the grove was entirely vacated. The afternoonfs outing will be pleasantly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to have selected Lighthouse Point as the place to spend an afternoon and evening.
 During the day many friends of Cap tain Thompson at the old light paid him "a visit. The genial captain received them with his usual courtesy and threw openI the doors to the tower that his friends might avail themselves of the opportunity of visit to the top. Many enjoyed the trip. Captain Thompson's health is somewhat impaired by old age, but his eyesight and memory seem good for one of his years.

4. J MoRTON,s sUrCIDE.
Was g Former New Haven Labor Re
 former and Political Speaker.

Coroner Mix has received the report of Medical Examiner Axtelle of Water bury in reference to the death of AL bert J. Morton, who committed suicide there on Friday
 Morton was a recluse. He worked in the old shear shop and lived close by
 the factory. A pile of letters were found on the table in his room. One was addressed to the Journal and Courier" and besides the address was the following: s'No man should open these letters for there is nothing in them regarding funeral matters or relatives" Another one to Joseph c. Tibley, Franklin, Vernango county. Penn, bore the same injunction, as did the letters to the Bridgeport Even ing Post; W. H. Harvey, 143 Monroe street, Chicago, H.; Doc. Gilroy, 614 Main street, Bridgeport; and the Water
 bury Sunday Globe.
 He was sixty-four years of age Nor ton was well known in this city and formerly lived here. Congressman N D. Sperry in speakinf of him Saturday morning said that he knew him very well and he believed that the cause of the suicide was disappointed ambition.
 Morton, MT. Sperry stated, was a machinist by trade, and in 1870 became an active leader in the labor reform movement which was agitated at the time. He was opposed to strikes, but was strong for organization and subse- quently started labor paper here. Tn 1872 he became identified with the Greenback party and took an active part in the agitation over this ques- ton. Later he became a free silver man and up to the time of his death was pronounced advocate of this metal He was a man of ability, but extremely eccentric, and from the whole life of the man the congressman believed that he was disappointed in his ambitions. During the last cam paign, Congressman Sperry states he received frequent communications from him on the silver question, but MT. Morton frequently stated that he was taking no active part in the cam paign.
 Morton is well remembered by many others who were familiar with political settlements in New Haven of the days above referred to. He made many speeches in this city and other towns in the state and was one of the speak CTS at a labor mass meeting held on the old green here.
