Mr.. Moody's Launch into Life.

There are acts of love shown me when
l was mere child that have influenced
my whole life, writes Evangelist Dwight
L. Moody to his Bible class in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "There were nine of us
children, and my widowed mother had
very great difficulty in keeping the wolf
from the door. My next older brother
had found place for me to work during
the winter months in neighboring will
age about Is miles away, and early one
November morning we started out toge-
ther on our dismal journey. Do--you know
November has been dreary month to me
ever since? As we passed over the river
and up the opposite side of the valley we
turned to look back for last look at
home. 1t was to be my last view for
weeks, for months, perhaps forever, and
my heart well nigh broke at the thought
That was the longest journey ever took,
for 13 miles was more to me at 10 than
the worlds circumference has ever been
since.
When at last we arrived in the town
had hard work to keep back my tears,
and my brother had to do his best to
cheer me. Suddenly he pointed to some
one and said: There's man that IL
give you cent; he gives one to every
new boy that comes to town. was SO
afraid that he would pass me by that 1
planted myself directly in his path. He
was feeble, old, white-haired man. AS
he came up to us my brother spoke to
him, and he stopped and looked at me-
Why, have never seen you before. You
must be a new boy, he said. He asked
me about my home, and then, laying his
trembling hand upon my head he told me
that, although had no earthly father,
my heavenly father loved me, and then
he gave me bright new cent. do not
remember what became Of that cent, but
that old mans blessing has followed me
for over 80 years, and to my dying day |
shall feel the kindly pressure of that hand
upon my head. A loving deed costs very
little, but, done in the name of Christ it
will be eternal. This divine love is what
the church OF God needs today. We dis
cuss and argue over methods and means,
but after all, the solution of the problem
is love-"

The Hon. William J. Bryan wrote to a
Fourth of July gathering of Democratic
clubs in Washington, "Just now there
is special reason for solicitude lest SER
vile acquiescence in foreign financial
policy may rob us of the substance of
political freedom and leave us in the
shadow" That is to say our liberties are
in danger because the United States will
not coin Al cents worth of silver into a
dollar and make it legal tender in pay
ment of all debts. Our liberties are in
danger because we will not undertake b Y
law to cheat the creditor out of half of his
debt Because we seryilely acquiesce in
trading with foreign nations upon using
she money they use there is danger that
DUR declaration of independence may be-
come null and void. Mr.. Bryan is bound
to keep himself and his free silver theory

effect from Gen. D. r. Jones, next on his
left, and who was to have followed his
movement.
1t was, however then too late, for the
enemy was already pressing with vigor
my extreme left under Gen. Evans at the
Stone Bridge. l thus had suddenly or on
the spur of the moment to change nv
whole plan of battle, with troops which
had never yet fought and could scarcely
manoeuvre. My heart for moment
failed me! / felt as though all was lost,
and l wished l had fallen in the battle
of the 18th; but soon rallied, and then
solemnly pledged my life that would
that day conquer or die! Immediately
everything appeared again clear and hope
About p. M, finding that the enemy
had retaken the plateau Of the Henry
house, | ordered my reserves (three regi-
ments) forward, fand charged at sthe head
OF one of them. We drove back the enemy
about five times our number, and held
the position until the reinforcements from
our centre and extreme right of the morn
ing had arrived and decided the fate Of
the day. The enemy commenced flying
rived on the field about half an hour later
IN time, however, to enjoy that agreeable
sight. You will excuse, hope, these de-
tails. which are given only to furnish you
clearer insight into the memorable
events of that day. I beg to remark here
that.the report of that battle sent you is
more.a full history of it than mere re-
port, which would have contained only
the leading facts; moreover, / had not
much experience in such matters. / am
happy to hear that you appreciated SO
we'll and truly my two most worthy
friends, Johnston and Price. would
serve with pleasure under either one of
them. hope you will yet meet also with
another one, Breckenridge, than whom
there is not nobler soul.
With my kind regards to all at home,
remain, very truly, your friend,
sc. Il. BEAUREGARD.
The publication of this private letter
will give to many readers of the history
of the civil war the first definite impress
sion of the tremendous advantage the
Confederates had through spies in Wash
ington, and also the first knowledge of
how the fortune of battle wavered on the
field of Bull Run.

The Democracy of the District of
Columbia and the Association of National
Democratic Clubs have adopted resolu-
tions denouncing the Dingley tariff bill
as a bigger robbery of the masses than
the Mckinley law Of 1890. The time
when the Democracy could make any i'm
preston upon anybody by proclaiming
protection to be robbery has gone by.
When they made the Wilson tariff bill,
which is full Of protection of the most
unequal kind, they made it perfectly clear
TO the country that all their declarations
about protection and robbery were hypo-
critical can't. party that resolved that
protection was robbery and then went to
work and made tariff bill full of it can
not expect much attention to be paid
to it when it gets up the cry again.

A Honolulu paper publishes letter
written by one of the officers of tho Unit
ed States cruiser Philadelphia in which
the author says he has changed his
mind about the desirability of an
nexing the Sandwich Islands to the
United States. He once favored an
nexation, but more familiarity with
the islands and fuller study of the
subject have caused him to think
differently. This officer points out that
the only advantage of the islands to us
would be that they would afford us a
mid-ocean naval station, but this advant-
age could only be utilized at great out
lay of money for fortifying the island and
making it practically impregnable.
The officer thinks that the money that
this would cost could be much more
prodtably expended in fortifying our sea-
coast towns and cities.

Some time ago the one-year-old child
of Mr.. M. E. Lindsey, of Franklin Forks,
Pa, had very severe attack of collie.
She suffered great pain. Mr.. Lindsey
gave her dose of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy and In
ten minutes her distress was gone. This
10 the best medicine in the world for
children when troubled with collie or
diarrhga. 1t never fails to effect a
prompt cure. When reduced with water
and sweetened it is pleasant for them to
take. It should be kept in every home,
especially during the summer months.

Ex-Gov. Altgelds Grafton in New York
on the Fourth was full of gloom of course
The gospel of the silver orator is neces-
sarily gloom. Only in continued depres-
sion of industry and business is there
any hope for the triumph of him
and his theory, and he is SO bound
up in his theory, so anxious that it
shall be tried that he would pre-
fer that this depression should
continue. Fortunately evidence of i'm
provement in business and industry is be-
coming so clear that even the calamity
scouting silver orator cannot entirely
obscure it.

Senator Lodges proposition for tax
on bond and stock transactions met with
very little opposition in the Senate and
was adopted on a viva voce vote. 1t COM
mended itself to the Republicans because
there were large possibilities of revenue
in it, the Populists favored it because it
is one of their cardinal principles to
strike a blow at bonds and stocks when
ever they can, and the Democrats did not
dare to go on record against it for fear
that they might be accused of being in
league with Wall street. One strong
point in favor of the tax is that it will
usually fall upon people amply able to
bear it. The only objection to the amend
ment which was urged with any force
pertained simply to that part of it which
provided that bonds or stocks unstamped
should not be received as evidence in
court. 1t was contended by many that
such a provision was an infringement
upon the rights of the state. The objec-
ton made good deal of impression upon
the committee in charge of the bill and it
promised to modify the amendment SO as
to meet it, No estimate which can be
relied upon has appeared of the amount
of revenue this tax is likely to produce,
but 1t must be considerable.

When Jay Gould died he left IS, 900 600
OF his estate to his son George for services
rendered the estate by the latter in the
ten years after he had attained his major
lty. The State of New York sought to
collect an Inheritance tax ON this $1,000
900 holding that it waslvirtually legacy.
Mr.: Gould resisted on the ground that it
was not legacy, but money that he had
earned. The New York court of appeals
has just sustained Mr.. Gould's view and
the state loses the tax. The elder Gould
in his will called the S., 00O COO recon-
pense for services, but we imagine if the
most brilliant fnancier in the world had
charged him 100000 year for managing
his estate which was the estimate he put
upon his sons services in his will, he
would have thought it an outrageous
price and refused to pay it. Judge Ingra-
ham who dissented from the opinion of
the majority of the court held that the
5 100000 was practically "a legacy, and
liable to be taxed as such; and his view
is by far the more sensible one. 1t is not
the one that "goes" however.

Eight members of the Pennsylvania
legislature have refused to accept COM
pensation for serving on investigating
committees, holding that their salaries
as legislators should cover these services
Their view is undoubtedly the correct one,
but it is quite clear that it was not a
popular one in the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture.

The powers apparently have been put
ting little more pressure on the Sultan

1t is now confidently predicted that the
tariff bill will be a law by August 1.

The decision of the Republican caucus
to table the beet sugar amendment to the
tariff bill and Senator Aliens declaration
that he does not intend to press the
amendment to the point of filibustering,
indicate that this foolish amendment is
seemed probable.

the audience greatly.

lieved this would b, the last conven ,ion

that the crucial test now confronted or

Mr.. Mahon of Detroit said a resolutions
com mittee was useless. The convention
should vote on Raicbtord's proposition
and then go home. The power OF the
Nation, he said, was in the courts, and II
body was to be convened let it be the

ford's proposition.
Mahon, as did his predecessor, took
fling at Senator Hanna, Mahon saying
that the Presidents would have TO get Han
mas consent to the converting OF Congress.
James A. Carson, secretary OF the Hi
nois miners, then recited at great length
the conditions confronting the miners OF
his State and saiu he believed his men
would be beaten in two weeks.
