Drinking Tears.
BY REV. G.. D. COLEMAN.

In several places in the
Psalms, the metaphor is used
of the beverage Of tears, but
how often in real life is the
custom of drinking the tears
Of their wives and children
fulfilled in the lives of intem-
perate husbands and fathers.
In 1885 in Arkansas, this
scene was enacted.
Josh Speeler, an old topper
of long standing and capaci-
ty, on being invited by some
of his boon companions to
take a drink" replied, boys
| wont drink without you
take whatI do The boys
were surprised.
"The," idea said one of
them, "that you should pre-
scribe for us Perhaps you
want us to drink one of your
mixtures. You are a boss
mixer and | won't agree to
it,
"Perhaps he wants to run
some castor oil in on us, "
said another.
mo, I'm square. Honor
bright, Take my drink
boys and | am with you"
They agreed and arranged
themselves at the bar. All
looked at Speeler.
"Mr. Bartender" said he,
give me a glass of water"
"What? W-a-t-e.r?'
Eyes, water. It's a new
drink to me, boys, | admit,
and It's a scarce article a.
round here, | expect. But
let me tell you about it. A
few days ago a party of us
went fishing. We took a
fine share of whiskey along
and had a jolly time. Long
towards evening | got power
full drunk and crawled off
under a tree and went to
sleep. The boys drank up
all the whiskey and came
back to town. They thought
it a good joke cause they
left me out there drunk and
told it around town with a
big laugh. My son got hold
OF the report and told it at
home. | lay under that tree
all highland when | awoke in
the morning my wife sot
right thar side ONE. She
said nothing when l woke but
turned her head away and |
could see war a.cryin'. I
wish | had suthin to drink,
says |. When she took a Gun
wot she haG. fetched with
her and went to a spring
that was near and fotched Il
full, Jest as she was handin'
it to me she leant over to
lllde her eyes ana | saw a
tear drop in the cup, | TUX
the cup and drank, and raisin'
my hands to heaven, | vowed,
God helpin' me, I'd never
drink my wiie,s tears again
as | had been doin' for the
last 20 years, and that Twas
goln' to stop. You boys
know who it was that left me
Give me another glass of va.

Two well.known residents OF

one of them is Republican and the
other a Democrat, the debate waxed
warm. Finally the Republican, to
end the controversy, exclaimed;
We'll, Mckinley and free silver
are good enough for me.
His political opponent quickly
replied:
Yes, but look what the Demo
Gratis have done for the country; they
built Niagara Falls.
Yes, but that was long time

they were smiling, they concluded

AS the fleet was between the
Fourteen-mile point and Copper
Harbor on the night in question,
the aurora borealis was seen to be
unusually bright in the east, and all
hands were ordered to prepare for
a northeast gale. About 10 o clock
the gale struck and shifted the deck
load of lumber on the Mautenee,
and became entangled in the ship S
rigging causing the forward mast
to snap in two just below the cross
tree. About one-fourth of the
lumber on deck was washed over
board. The sailors were in the
water above their waists for time
getting everything in as good shape
as possible. The ship began to fill,
notwithstanding the steam pump
was kept working until it became
disabled. AS soon as the steam
barge could be managed they put
into Keweenaw Bay for shelter,
while the sea was rolling mountains
high.
She was brought into harbor at
Baraga Sunday morning, and will
remain at the hester dock until the
underwriters and owner arrive,
when the lumber will be unloaded, and
she will be taken into dry dock for
repairs. There were no lives lost
Phe forward part of the boat is
badly torn down to the deck line.
The Mautenee was considered a
strong boat until last summer,
when tug ran into her at Mani
towoc, Wis, since which time she has
leaked more or less. She has been
in service about twenty-three years,
and her capacity was 1000, 900 feet
of lumber.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The World
says this morning: The superiority
OF the Associated Press news SER
vice over all others was shown yes
terday afternoon when the Worlds
evening edition was enabled to
publish the fact that the shah of
Persi had been assassinated long
before any other paper in the city.
The complete story Of his death
and review Of his life was in the
hands of it's readers before the
readers Of other papers learned
that he had fallen by the hands Of
an assassin. Finally several af-
ternoon papers took the news from
the World and issued extra edi-
tions" too late for circulation.

THE PARIS CABBY.
For Ways That Are Dark He Has Very
Few Equals.

Should an accident befall the vehicle
of a Paris cabman during your occu-
pancy, he will abandon himself to a
paroxysm of grief, compute the loss,
and tell in moving accents of his wife
and children, whose bread will be
taken from their mouths by the mis-
hap.
But if your fingers therGupon make
instinctively for your pocket, restrain
them; he is insured. He pays small
monthly premium to a cab insurance
company; and in the case of smash
up, only the company suffers. A play
full intimatiOn that you are aware of
this circumstance will do wonders to
console him. There was, in days gone
by, cabman who made such good
thing out of accidents that he ended by
adopting them as a speciality.
He confined his labors to those quar-
ters of the town chiefly affected by the
English, and his system was to pick
up a benevolent English tourist (by
preference LADY, and break shaft.
He knew a method of turning corner
which no shaft could resist.
Then he would beat his beast, and
shake his fist at heaven; call upon the
universe to witness that he was a poor
man, who would be ruined by the sum
it must cost to get his cab repaired,
bring in his wife and children, though
the umprincipled creature was bache-
lor-and what could benevolent-look-
ing English tourist do but help him
out?

AN UNDERGROUND CITY.
Russians Discover Town Hid in tho
Bowels of the Earth.

Russians Discover a Town Hid in tho
Bowels of the Earth.
The Russians have made a singular
discovery in Central Asia. In Turkes-
tan, on the right bank of the Amou
Daria, is a chain of rocky hills near the
Bokharan town of Karki, and number
of large caves, which upon examination
were found to lead to an underground
city, built apparently long before the
Christian era. In Popular Science
News we find the following description
of this singular city:
According to efigies, inscriptions and
designs upon the gold and silver money
unearthed from among the ruins, the
existence of the town dates back to
some two centuries before the birth of
Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is
little over a mile long, and is composed
of an enormous labyrinth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by
houses and other buildings two or three
stories high. The edifices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
streets falls of earth and rock have OBJ
structed the passages, but generally the
visitor can walk about without so much
as lowering his head.
The high degree of civilization at
tanned by the inhabitants of the city is
shown by the fact that they built in
several stories, by the symmetry of the
streets and squares, and by the beauty
of the baked clay and metal utensils,
and of the ornaments and coins which
have been found.
1t is supposed that long centuries ago
this city, so carefully concealed in the
bowels of the earth, provided an entire
population with a refuge from the in
cursions of nomadic savages and rob-
bers.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The ma

will be held at the Manufacturers
club for five days, commencing to-

Eastern Foundrymen's association.
This will be the first congress of

great success. Its object is to
bring about more friendly feel
ing among the foundrymen % the
country and to discuss papers on
the interesting subjects to the
trade, and to encourage the forma-

The Southern states are those in
which the free silver democracy
poll their greatest strength, and it
is in this quarter Of their political
dominions that the democratic
party must look for the votes with
with which to sweep the slate.
This compels a respect for the
opinions Of these states that it is
quite likely will seriously embar-
rass the plank planners who will
construct the Chicago platform.
