to See the President.
Miss Nellie Parker, one OF the bellies OF
this city, again renewed her acquaintance
with President Cleveland last Saturday.
1t will 90 remembered that at the I'M
yelling of the Martha Washington monu

Miss Parker met the president, and at the
banquet that evening the chief executive
presented the Richmond beauty with a
penny, i~uughingiy requesting her to keep

Parker again met tho president In Atlanta
on Virginia day, one of the first questions
he asked Governor O'Ferrall being,
"Where Is tho young lady to whom 1
gave the penny" Upon ssooing her he
asked her Il she still had the coin, to
which she replied that she certainly had,
and that it was framed in gold.
Last week Miss Parker was visiting
friends in Alexandria and went over 10
Washington on Saturday. She thought
she would call upon tho president at the
White House and did so, being accompa-
MED Icy Colonel l.. G. Barley OF Governor
O'Ferrall's staff. 1t so happened that the
president at that hour--whioh was shortly
after noon-was busily engaged in a con-
\ercnce with a committee on the Venezu-
elan question, and one of the servants told
Miss Parker that he did not think the ex-

A home of all homes that was fair to the sight

There lived q charmed circle, 20 loving and

On which the glad favor OF heaven did so
That Jesus, the Saviour. Oft sheltered Him
there.
And 's"aped from the cares which his spirit
oppressed.
How blessed. thrice blessed. the home that's

With fragrance OF love and the comfort OF

With Joy like to that with which angels are
thrilled,
In homes everlasting the mansions Of bliss.
That Jesus is drawn. like a bee TO the flower,
Which hides the sweet nectar within its
deep cell.
And yields to the charm OF its wonderful
power.
And loves as an inmate withis it to DWELL
May all that We do. DO done in Has name,
And sorrow and need His compassion still

All homes know the charm Of His presence

With burden. and care. and sorrow un-

And ali find this Saviour. and friendship, and

Sailor. victimizcd at Buenos Ayre..

1t seems that at many ports abroad
great injury is suffered by British ship
ping through the crews of vessels being
enticed away from their ships, necessi-
tating the obtaining Of other and in
many cases incompetent hands In
Buenos Ayres this practice is very preva-
lent, so much so that the attention Of
the British government has been drawn
to il.
The supplying of new crews at Buenos
Ayres is left in the hands Of certain
boarding house keepers, and it invari-
ably happens that no hands can be OBJ
tanned at all while the vessels are lying
in dock. If they could, the men would
be shipped before the British consul.
and then matters would be put right
The mode of procedure is to let the
steamer leave the dock, and while III
the river the sailors and firemen-the
new men-are brought off in a small
boat, apparently in state Of drunken
ness. The master has no choice but to
take the men, and the shipping agent or
boarding house keeper gets a fee of
about is shillings for each man.
In the case of one steamer cited it is
alleged that the men of the original
crew were bribed to leave the ship, and
when she was going out the captain
found that all the new hands had been
drugged before they came on board and
were unable to do any work. For IA
hours the steamer had to come to an
anchor, and when tho men regained
their senses they went to the captain
and told him their signatures to their
advance notes had been obtained from
them fraudulently. The captain, being
anxious to help the men, applied to the
British consul, who for some reason was
unable to take up the case. The system
carried ON is one not only of expense to
the shipowner, but also OF danger to
the ship. London Chronicle.

The future of the moose, Oldest and
noblest Of the game animals on this
continent, is matter that has interested
a good many people. Mr.. Braithwaite,
who has lived among these animals all
his life, says there is no danger of their
diminution in New Brunswick. They
shed their antlers before the snow be-
comes deep in winter, and the sports
man who endeavors to carry away
hornless moose is always roughly dealt
with by the magistrates down in the
settlements. The only relentless enemy
of the moose is the lumberman, who in
the depth of winter can make good use
of the meat. But in the region which is
the subject of this article there is little
lumber, and so there are few lumber
men. The degenerate Indians Of the viii
lagos seldom trouble themselves to hunt.
and the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears. Bruin gets
trapped because his coat will average
$50 to his captor There are no wolves
in this wilderness, so the prospects for
the moose are getting better instead OF
worse. And if there are thousands or
moose, there are tens of thousands of
caribou. Frederick lrland in Scrib-
