Sir Andrew Agnew, the last OF the
hereditary sheriffs of Galloway. had a
strong prejudice against the French,
and though often thrown into the So
ciety Of Frenchmen plumed himself on
his Ignorance of their language. Once,
while journeying to Edinburgh. Sir An.
drew halted over Sunday ut his daugh-
ter's house and attended the parish
church.
The minister. having given out his
text from the Old Testament, disputed
the correctness of the authorized trans.
lation. In enforcing his opinion he
quoted the text in the Hebrew original,
aud the words sounded to Sir Andrews
ear as the French salutationi Com
ment vous portez.vous"
The sheriff writhed in his seat, and Il
was with the greatest difficulty that his
daughter kept him from speaking out
his feelings. But as soon as the bene-
diction had been pronounced Sir An
drew's wrath exploded. To the amuse-
ment Of the congregation he roared
out:
THE scoundrel! Yet l might ha' for.
gi'en him had he not used the only
words I aver knew!"-- Youths Com

A SUCCESS ANYHOW.
Refusal Of Reduced Rates VIII Not
Make L. .. q. r. Encampment AT
louisville n Failure.

Chicago, July 3l-Members OF the S.
OF V. and Of the /. o. O. +. say that the
refusal OF the Western Passenger asso-
citation to grant a one-fare rate for the
annual encampment at Louisville dur
ing the second week in September, and
for the meeting Of the sovereign grand
lodge of the second named organization
at Dallas, Tex, during the last OF that
month, will not materially affect the at
tendance OF either gathering. although
there will be a small proportion of the
membership to which the difference in
the cost OF transportation will be suffl-
cient to keep them away. There are
grounds for the belief, moreover, that
within a few weeks some of the lines
concerned, as was the case at the time
of the rumpus over Grand Army rates,
nay kick the traces and determine to
give a o~ne-fare rate. no matter whether
their competitors like 1t or not. 1t Is ad-
mltted hat the roads comprising the
Western Passenger association were not
unanimous In fixing the rate at n and
one-thlrd fare and that a very strong
minority favored granting the s. of V.
and the odd Fellows the single fare
round trip asked for.

object In prosecuting our work in the

remove the unjust prejudice that has been
created against US. We worship the same

The same bible which enshrines your
faith Is the basis OF ours. A belief in the
one does not Interfere with a belief In the
other. They are not contradictory but
altogether harmonious. We receive no
salary for our services, nor do we accept
contributions. Our plan Is sim

For nearly ten minutes he stood there
motionless, with parted lips, and eyes
strangely bright. He was dimly conscious
that entirely fresh impulses were at work

that Basil's friend had said TO him-words
spoken by chance, no doubt, and with willful
paradox in them--had yet touched some
secret chord, that had never been touched
before, but that he felt was now vibrating

OF the intelligence from New York that

known that Mr.. Bryan is now preparing
his speech of acceptance Of the NOM
lnation. He expects to lay. in his New
York speech the ground work for the
campaign, and il is believed that up TO
the date OF it's delivery 40 man will learn

pected TO do in relation to the populist
nomination. Possibly he may not even
then declare himself, but il Is believed
thai he will then give some intimation
of his plans in relation to the populist
nomination.
There is an apparent lull In the tide
of visitors. There has also been some
thing OF a decrease in the magnitude of
Mr.. Bryan's correspondence. Ever since
his return from Chicago the greater por-
ton of each day has been spent at his
desk, debating responses to letters n
kilograms. A corps Of five clerks and
stenographers has aided him. and 1t vas
only today that they began to see their
way clear to the bottom of the great
mass of mail before them.

The ficwers-they seemed TO love him so,
Our hearts could never chide him,
Sreet-playin' whore the lilies blow
In whore the rose could hide him.

Fell soft on fields an flowers,
darkness s.oomed above the glades,
An these sad hearts o. ours:

Yet still, when daylight closes,
We hear his mother, wecp,n' say:

London Echo.
In the woods we see that amongst the
moses and brambles there is no t~ostling

edge Of the swamp Is not anxious to be
the barberry beside the stone wall. The
lichen chngs with fond tenacity to Its
own place on the rock. The chestnuts
and the oaks show no dissatisfaction
with their qualities and situations. An
expression OF content relgns supreme In
the forest. The trees stand In their
