Last evening Miss Nelson OF Piedmont,
wearing hat, topheavy with feathers,
went into the Salvation Army citadel on
Washington street. Two hours later
Sister Nelson, humble but happy, wear
ing hat bereft of feathers, marched out of
the barracks. Her feathers were in the
barracks stove and of her pride the
Salvationists had just quilted singing: 81
don't know where it's gone, but I haven't
got it now"
1t was holiness night at the barracks and
the ensign was unusually earnest. He was
dealing with pride. He kept on and his
efforts were rewarded.
In the audience sat Mrs. Nelson and her
daughter. Both of them were earnest
workers in Christian mission. Ensign
Reeds words affected tie daughter to
tears. AS her head gradually bowed so
did her feathers, but at greater angle
they were so TALL After period of exhor-
tation the leader fell upon his knees. All
the soldiers and majority of the audience
did likewise. As Miss Nelson knelt her
feathers actually touched the suppliant in
the chair Ill front of her. The little fric-
ton caught the eye of the ensignis wife,
and a moment later she was at the peni-
tents side, helping to complete the work
commenced by her husband. Her work
bore fruit, and Miss Nelson announced her
intention to "be not of the world, but come
out from among them"
Twill you forsake those lovely feathers?"
asked Mrs Reed.
II will. I will give up anything to
prove my sincerity" said Sister Nelson,
and the ensign was called.
''Well, let's kill pride right here" he
said, and, going to Miss Nelson's hat, he
cut off the feathers.

Her Estate.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
sos Broadway, Sept. IA.
Two months ago the dead body of an old
lady was found in cabin near HAY
wards. No one lived with her, although it
was known she had relatives on this coast.
She left all estate valued at about $12 GOO,
but had lived a solitary life for years.
After while a husband appeared and he
requested Public Administrator Knight to
apply for letters OF administration, which
were granted.
Unknown TO everybody, a son of the de-
ceased, named Hubert, was off in Alaska,
where some months ago the news of the
lonely death in the cabin reached him.
He Immediately set out for Haywards and
arrived 4 few days ago. He found out how
his mother stood and consulted some at
torneys. His claim to the estate was good,
SO was his fathers, but they did not seem
able 70 agree.
Yesterday father and son held a confer
ence and there was a complete reconcilia-
ton. In the cabin they decided to end all
litigation and live in harmony. The agree
ment arrived at is that both will reside
on the place and Hubert will provide for
his father for the remainder of his days
and give him monthly allowance. In
return M. Mann will agree to have the
ranch decided TO Hubert.

The Carlyle Memorial.

More than fourteen years had elapsed
since the death of Carlyle before it occurred
to some worthy fanatics to purchase his
house by subscription in order that it
bear, poor foolish would have been
Carlyle's own comment upon this piece of
faulty. The house has undergone many
vicissitudes since Carlyle's death, and its
contents were sold and dispersed many
years ago, while it has been altered in all
kinds Of ways. The personal memorials of
Carlyle, which are displayed in his former
dressing room, are of the most paltry char
acter, consisting of battered trunk, a
walking stick, wrenched tin bath, stove
pipe hat under glass case, and wash
stand with marble top. There is some
thing alike melancholy and ludicrous in
finding that a number of persons have been
so infatuated as to squander large sum of
money in bringing together such collec-
ton Of contemplate trash.
