A Man of Principle.

At banquet given to King Oscar
during his official visit to Carlsberg
there were present number of officers
from a neighboring garrison, says the
New York Tribune. At the close Of
the banquet the notables of the place
were presented to the King individu-
ally, and his Majesty conversed with
each in his welI-known pleasant man
ner. Among others, n distinguished
officer of the Smaaland infantry was
presented who was known as a pro-
nouneed fanatic and aseetie. During
the conversation King Oscar took up
his glass in order to drink healths with
the officer, ''to ring their glasses to-
gether," as is the use in Sweden, as ia
Germany. To the Kings great aston
ishment the Captain said that his reli-
gious convictions prevented him from
responding to the Kings toast The
King then said: ''If you will have no
drinking, then take an empty glass,
even so / can ring glasses with you"
The officer hesitated 4 moment, and
then replied: No, your Majesty; my
principles forbid me-

There's eieft in the darxllng sea-coast wall
That hides the town like sheltering pail,
And the Morro looks down from the precipiee
crest
At the sheltered ships on the harbor's breast
At the anchored ships that idly swing.
Flying the nag OF the Spanish King.
Nail TO the mast the yellow and red"
The grave old Spanish Admiral said:
And the lovey Infanta led the line,
And the bridesmaids followed her through
the brine
Followed her out os the harbor moath
To the fatal tFyst in the open south.
Never bride went down the hall
In the maze OF the dance Of her marriage ball,
With so fine a gnice or an air so free
As the Spanish ships stood out 10 sea;
And never the brides OF God took veil,
In the darksOme depth OF the converts pale.
With so lofty m!en OF sacrifice
As they bided the fling OF the battles dice.
Their splendrous standards STRAINED on high
'Gainst the turquoise blue OF the fropic sky;
Their polished bnlss-worx flashes fuug,
Like lustrous jewels around them strung;
And their bows were veiled in the filmy lace
ofthe spray comb tossed by the charging pace.
But, ahi what terrible guests are these,
Fast gliding in from the outer seas,
Gliding along in drapery black
That fumes and pours from the high smoke
stack.
Aud, an, what thund'rous chimes tnat greet
The stately advance OF the bridal heets
But is this the peal OF the wedding bell
This roaring voice like the voice OF hells
lis the wrathsome cry Of the pitiless Faies-
The voice is the voice OF the sister States,
or the sister States OF the slaughtered Maine,
Crying aloud for the blood OF Spain
Battle-ship, cruiser, to-pedo-b0aI,
That rush like dogs at tue Spanish throat.
Alas for The brides in yellow end red
That out OF the harbor 80 lightly sped,
That reel and llint ia The fearful dance
Mid the choke OF the smoke where the light
nings glance,
While ever mingies the thunder's roar
With the boom Of the surf on the nearing
shore.
They were six that steered to the open sea-
The brides and the maids so swift and free
And six are the corses that line the strand,
Prone In the pools OF the tIde-lefi sand;
And the gathering vultures circle high
O'er the stifened limb and the death-cIosed
eye.

What a Good Laugh VIII Do.

II tends to leDgthen ones life.
II conveys a new and direct stimulus
to the vital forces.
Doctor Green says that there IS not
one remotest corner or little inlet Of the
minute bloOd-vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the convulsions occasioned by good
hearty laughter.
When one laughs the life principle OF
the central man is shaken to the inner
most depths, sending new tides Of life
and strength to the surface
The blood moves more rapidly, and
conveys a different impression To all
the organs Of the body as il visits them
on its particular mystic journey, when
a man is laughing, from what IS done
at other times.

1t was halfpsst IL and Fenwick
yawned, got up, stretched himself, and
intimated his intention of going to
bed. He said he was not accustomed
to London hours, and he went off,
leaving Dobson and me in sole posses
sion of the smoking room at Fem
Hall. Fenwick was little disheart-
ened. When he formed plan Of any
sort, particularly plan for arranging
the destinies of his fellow-men. he used
10 set his heart on it, and he was not
much pleased at the total apparent fail
ure of his designs on Dobson. DObson
saw good deal Of Amy; he even talk
ed to her more than to anyone else, but
that was simply because she was the
only person in the house who would
listen TO the kind of talk he loved best.
It is a solemn fact that he used to dis
euss with that poor girl the persistent
unity of the Church Of England and
the degree of authority TO be attributed
to an Ecumenical council. She used
to listen to him with the utmost grayi-
ty, and with a sort of timid pleasure at
hearing about such big and wonderful
things; but how much she understood
| never attempted TO guess. Now,
when had a chance of talking to
Amy, which was not seldom, it was
not with that kind of conversation /
entertained her, aud l did not believe
that Dobson would have done it either
il he had been in love. Nor did his
style of talking vary when they were
alone together, as far as / could make
out; and [ took several opportunities to
come upon them suddenly, quite by
accident, in the midst OF these inter
views. Dohson never showed any dis
pleasure at being interrupted and there
was no sign of any change of subject.
was, therefore, fairly easy Of mind
and my disgust may be conceived when
he turned upon me, some forty puffs
after Fenwiek had let the room, and
began TO make condolences
He began, parsonwise, on generali-
ties. He said he had lately been con-
sidering the subject OF the celibacy Of
the clergy, and had come to the eonelu-
sion that the practice Of the Church of
EagIand was wiser than that Of the
sister Church, which he had hitherto
preferred. He held as strongly as ever
that celibacy was the ideal condition
for that highest kind of character
which can devote itself wholly aud
without reserve to an abstract cause;
but he believed that such characters
were rare, and that he had been COM
mitting the sin of spiritual pride In
reckoning himself one of them- Here

EDITOR GAZETTE: The editorial

been quite favorably commented
upon hereabouts, and the stand of
the GAZETTE is highly commended
Let the good work 60 on. Many.
candidates have already announced
for county offices, and there are
more to follow. Some seem to
think that it is the early bird
which catches the worm, forgetting
that sometimes the worm, especial
ly in cold weather, does not crawl
early.
The GAZETTE will. as matter
of course, get the announcement Of
each and every candidate for Il
county office, because candidates
have not forgotten that it was the
Sinner box which, in 1896, so nobly

The Tourist Travel.

The time for the tourist travel to be coming this way has arrived and there will no doubt be many to visit Alaska as sight-seers and for summer outing. A tour of the Alaska ports is indeed d pleasant one and those who make the trip are well repaid for the time con sumed and the money expended. There is, however, another object to be gained by visit to Alaskan cities, aud that is the restoration of impaired health. It has come within the person al knowledge of the writer that many in failing health have been completely restored by six months residence in this city, and the time will soon come when it will become generally known that residence on Wrangel island is certain to bring health and happiness to the invalid. As for Alaska in gener
 al, we are not speaking, for we have heard much complaint from some To- calities. But as for Fort Wrangel, a six months residence here, observation of the effect the climate produces upon those who come in poor health, gives the writer an opportunity to speak in
 telligently upon the subject, and we know that as health resort there are few places that can compare with it.

The Seattle tied up at the Trouu wharf for an hour last Saturday after noon. She was on her way south and had good passenger list from all the Alaska ports. Our old friend, Col. Jas Leddy of Juneau, formerly of Seattle was one of the passengers. He was seen by the News man and ''worked" for the latest news from the north.
 "fIow are times up north, Col.?n said the scribe.
 ''Very quiet. If your people are com plaining of dull times, tell them that it is the same in every Alaska town. The bulk of the Klondike travel is going round now We have had our share of the travel for awhile and St. Michael is having hers now. Alaska and Alas.;a towns are all right, but we must expect and are bound to have some slack times.'
 The News would like to have truth ful statement as to just what the grand jury did. can you furnish it the desired information?"
 "Yes, l can said the Col. "There were indictments found against about lI3 liquor dealers, who all pleaded guilty and were fined 5l00 each.
 "indictments were also found against w. F. Crews. the attorney, Tom Mark ham, Lon Clever and C. $. Harmon, the lawyer, for conspiracy in connection with the alleged whisky frauds.
 'The grand jury took a second turn on these alleged whisky frauds which resulted in the indictment of customs officials. whose names are Floyd, Hart man and Luke
 What about Collector Ivey?" we asked.
 "Nothing-absolutely nothing. There was no charge against him. But on the contrary no resolutions in his favor. The grand jury did recommend ill favor of high license. and stated that it was impossible to enforce prohibition in Alaska
 Col Leddy is lawyer by profession, and possessed of fine abilities. As an orator and lecturer he has few super iors in Alaska. He is on his way to Washington City on business, and is accompanied by Mr. Crews of the Ju- neau bar.
