century buttonholcs were still an un-

nearly the middle of the last century that
the manufacture of steel buttons was en-
tered upon at the Soho works in Birming
ham, England. Then, on the accession
of George Ill, the gilt buttons appeared
and became quite the vogue. But it was

A priest, seated at the entrance, had a
supply of painted candles, sticks of incense
made Of sandalwood and packets of papers
containing printed prayers.
Having bought supply of these helps
to worship, All Gau and his family had
entered the inner room Of the pagan gods.
In the presence of these images, with hid.

the darkness and mystery Of the incense
laden atmosphere, most American boys Of
All Gau's age would have been terror

with quite an air of familiarity. He bold.

one corner, and, seizing drumstick,
pounded on it with all his might for the
purpose of drawing the attention Of the
gods to the worshipers.
He then had joined with the family In
placing large number of lighted candles
and smoking incense sticks upon the altar,
after which they had bent themselves in
prayer before tho principal image in the
temple. A number Of offerings-cakes.

NEW YORK AND THE NATION
Ex-President Harrison Gives His Views on
the Pending Caipprixn.

/ New Yerk, Sept. 30.-Ex-President
Harrison. who is in the city, said To-Day:
Il shall not take part in the New York
campaign and l hesita te 10 say any
thing concerning il. For both Seth Low
and General Tracy have great esteem.
When General Tracy was secretary OF
thS navy I formed for him a high per-
sonal regard. He is man of great ex-
ecutive ability and ne has pure inten-
tons. l think ne would make a good
presidential candidate. 1 speak in his
favor, though, you understand, chiefly
for personal reasons ana because of the
friendship that unites US. In telling
WHAT l think of MIN l am not disparag-
ing any other candidate. I am not SD
we'll acquainted with Mr.. Low. When
l met him socially on two or three &C.
casions ne won my esteem. hold those
meetings in grateful memory and have
never heard a word about him which
diminishes my esteem for him.
General Harrison was asked IL he
thought national issues were TO have
any influence in the campaign. and if
the election would have any bearing up
on national politics. In answer ne
shook his head and then said:
mo; only in the sense that every cleo
ton IN New York City is of national in
teres;, in so far as il indicates The feel
ing in the state. The whole country
wants TO see a reform administration
come out of the contest. 1t wants 70 see
a victory for the people who want bet
ter government, and defeat for the
forces that oppose them, the generic
name for which is 'Tammany.' AS 10
the bearing OF the result upon national
politics i is not deterninative."

A VANISHED CIVILIZATION.
The Work Done by the Jesuits I'm
South AmeriCa

The Work Done by the Jesuits in
South America.
The pioneers of civilization in South
America were the Jesuits, SAYS Lippin-
colts. Although their influence in many
respects may not always have been
what was most conducive to the pros
perity of the new settlement, yet their
mode of treating the natives was more
humane and their plan for the develop
ment and progress of the country more
advanced than any other attempts of
that period. They sought to establish
permanent home for their sect with
wealth and splendor that would equal
that of the old world, and their work
was characterized by prudence, indus
try and wisdom. Other settlers came
only as fortune-hunting adventurers
to enslave the natives, pillage the coun-
try and then return to their own land
with ill-gotten gains.
Monuments of the Jesuits still remain
in churches, aqueducts, cities in ruins
and the history of a hundred prosperous
missions; from the Amazon to Brazil's
southern borders we see their signs.
The aqueduct of Rio de Janeiro, the
hundred churches of Bahia, the stone
water dams on the rivers of Goyaz, the
crumbling ruins of almost every state
of Brazil tell of the jesuit occupation.
Other settlers of that period left almost
nothing. behind. them; their mission
was to destroy, tear down and drive out
the only element of good the country
had, that they might establish the reign
of terror, slavery and rapine that cursed
the country SO long.
