New YORK, Sept. 17.-John Upgardy
lost $500 on the green goods game q
year ago. He saved up $500 and with bis

No SOUTHERN man desires the return
of the Confederate flags that were sur
rendered when the cause for which they
waved went down; but, for all that, it
will not be forgotten that at the late
national meeting of the G. a, R., the
retiring commander in chief said the
war between the States should, in the
North continue to be called the war
of the rebellion, and that all the flags
captured" during it, belong TO the
federal government and should be held
by that government.

SALT FISH are in much use among
the poor people of this country, but
though the Canadians sell such fish at
low prices, they are high here, because Of
the protective tariff imposed upon them
by the Dingley bill, and it is reported
that the commission appointed by
President Mckinley to settle differ
ences with Canada, will report against
any reduction in that t.rif, lest it
might perhaps reduce the profits ola few
Massachusetts fisherman. So the peo-
pie of all the forty five States OF the
Union must suffer, in order that the
profits OF few in one State may not be
reduced. Why the half OF the benefits
OF republicanism has not been told.

ANOTHER officer of the 22d Kansas
regiment is under trial at Camp Meade
for robbing Confederate graves at Ma
nassas. He testifes that the order to
desecrate the graves referred to was
not his, but that of fellow officer.
AS his regiment came from the State in
which John Browns followers called
unarmed men to their doors in the
night time and shot them down with
out conjunction, that its members
should delight in ghouls' work is not
at all remarkable.

should be his abject slaves, whose lives

On the Eating OF Looms.

Man is a creature Of prejudice In
Scotland he Will not eat eeIs; IN Con-
necticut he Will not eat sturgeon, the
royal fish of England, where the first
one taken in the Thames goes to the
queens table; in New York he viii
not eat Iampreys, miscalled Hamper
eels, " which are delicacies in ConIecti-
cut, and in England some old king
never could keep a record Of kings
died from a surfeit Of lampreys. With
these prejudices in mind, and hate all
prejudices except those which l enter
tain, decided to eat the loon.
There may be differences among looms,
as there are between pigeons and
squads prefer an adult pigeon to a
SQUAD, there is better chewing on it,
but if a man wants real hard chewing,
with flavor of raw fish, let him tackle
an adult loon. That bird could not be
picked. 1t was skinned, and in its stom-
ach there was a catfish recently swal-
lowed, one partly digested and the
bones Of another. The triggers of the
pectoral fins of the catfish were set, but
the stomach of the loon did not seem
to be troubled by that fact.--Fred
Mather in Forest and Stream.

Santiago's Distinction.

Santiago de Cuba has an eccleslas-
tical distinction, and that is that 1t Is
the oldest bishopric in the western
world. When all Pennsylvania was a
traceless waste, an archbishop ruled a
see of no mean proportions from that
city and under that title. From the
city of Santiago also went out the two
great missionaries TO the Indians and
negroes, the first, Las Casas, who
eyangelized nearly all Central America.
and the second. St Peter Claver. who
worked among the negroes OF Brasil

story in The CongregatiOnalist:
On a certain Sunday morning the or
derly Of the colonel Of the Eighth Ohio
presented himself before that officer.
Everything all right, colonel" he
asked. After looking around and find
ing that the tent had been put in order
and his boots blacked he replied in the
affirmative. Il have a favor 10 ask, :"
said the orderly. Estate it, said the
colonel. Il beg that Imay 90 off today,
colonel, and go a little earlier and re-
main a little later. For what rea-
sons:" demanded the colonel. The or
derly produced letter and said, "Sir,
l have received this from the president,
and he invites me to dine at the White
House.
The president of the United States is
in every way to be ranked among the
great rulers of the world. But the gen
uine and unaffected democracy of the
man who now holds that exalted office
is shown in this incident, which could
not be paralleled in any other country
in the world.

INDIAN AND TIGER.
a Clever Trick by Which the Former Out
witted the Latter.

Clever Trick by Which the Former Out
witted the Latter.
According to a good and true tiger
story in Cornhill, an Indian who had
learned some of the elementary princi-
piles of jugglery and contortion went
out one evening to walk upon ridgy
plain. When he reached the top of one
sf the mounds, he saw tiger ahead of
linn, 500 or 600 yards away. Before
The man could hide behind a mound the
tiger had seen him and began to bound
toward him at its tOpmost speed.
Having no means of defense, there
was nothing for the man to do but TO
race for the nearest tree, but though he
tried it and put forth his utmost
strength the tiger steadily gained upon
him.
What was he TO do? In sheer despera-
tion he resolved upon an unusual
schepe. Just as be disappeared for an
instant from the tigers sight in run
ming over ridge he halted, stretched
out his legs at right angles, curled
down his head SO as TO look between his
legs to the rear and extended his arms
upward in fantastic manner, like the
sails of windmill.
In a few seconds the tiger hove in
sight, and at that instant the face of
the object assumed hideous grimace.
A prolonged yell arose, such as had per-
haps never before pierced the ear of any
tiger, and the sails of the windmill be-
gan to revolve backward and forward
as if a sudden whirlwind had burst
upon the scene.
The tiger recoiled. What, he evil
IDENTIFY thought, is this? There stood a
ferocious star shaped monster, gigantic
against the sky. Its hideous head was
situated in the very center Of its body
nay, its viselike jaws, between which
those fiendish roars were issuing, were
actually placed above its two fiery eyes
It's limbs were furiously clamoring for
action, and the man he had been Chas-
ing, where was he? Already devoured
by this terrible beast? The tiger could
not pause to reflect. He turned tail,
and as he disappeared over friendly
ridge last awful yell caused him to
redOuble his pace. He was conquered
by the unknown.

TWO HUMOROUS BROTHERS
They Won Wagers the Strength OF
Their own Homeliness.

Many years ago there were two broth
ers, named Joel and Jonathan, who
were famous throughout Wayne county,
Ind, because they were both such
frights One day they were on their
way TO Cincinnati by wagon in the
days of the old canal. The wagon was
of the covered variety, and only Joel
was visible to the natural eye as the
vehicle plunged into and out of the
chuck holes that infested the way. Joel
was said to be the next to the ugliest
man in all the country round, and his
brother took precedence.
The two brothers met a stranger, who,
attracted by the supremely homely face
Of Joel, stopped his horse and said:
Excuse me, my friend, but would
you mind telliu me your name?'
In a sepUlchral tone that fitted well
the hideous face Joel replied:
"Well, | guess l hain't never done
nothin that would make me ashamed
to tell my name. My name Is Joep'--
tWhere do you live, if it is a fair
question:"
q live in Wayne county, Indianny. s"
We'll, stranger, I've seen much Of
GAdianny, but III bet You $40 that
you're the uglicst man in the state.
"WelI, l hain't no gamblin man, s"
replied Joel, "but I hain't never seen
nothin in the Scriptur' ag'in bettin on a
sure thing, an III jest take that bet"
Turning to the wagon cover and peer
ing into its depths he called:
Jonathan. stick your head out hyer. %
Jonathan did as he was requested.
The stranger paid the money without
a word Of complaint.-New York Mail

THE POWER OF SHADOWS.
A Gloomy View of the Power of Certain
Popular SuperstitiOns.

As antique runners passed from hand
to hand the sacred torch, so the genera
tions transmit to the generations which
succeed them all that they have of
light and knowledge, leaving them as
heritage the care of continuing the di-
vine work of enfranchisement and of
helping to dissipate the shadows of ig-
nOranCe
Little by little these clouds are van
quished and disappear, and the touch of
intelligence flames the more radiantly
in the midst of the Travelling masses.
But all Of a sudden a veil covers the
tOrch-sOmething surges up which
seems like the darkne9 Of another age.
One feels that in a corner Of this civil
lizatiOn mOnstrOus things have place.
Here they burn a woman accused Of
sorcery; there in Suabia tribunal con-
demns TO four days Of imprisonment a
labOrer who had disinterTtd the corpse
of an infant. He wanted to make brace
let's of its finger nails, which, according
to a belief held in that country, consti-
tute a sovereign remedy against collie.
And all the stories of vampires, of
elfs, return to the mind with all the
victims they have made and are making

etrabIe to all that science has done and
