BASELY BETRAYED.
English Tourists Overheard in Prais-

From the San Francisco News Letter.
In pardonable admiration of Mayor

architect, We're gazing at the finished
work of few days ago, when Polk no.
ticed two men, plainly tourists from
their costumes and customs, discuss
ing the merits of Tilden's latest artis-
tic triumph.
The architect edged nearer the critics
and at a pause in their admiring COM
ments of the statue pointed to Tilden,
unobserved by the later.
THAT gentleman is the sculptor" he
remarked
Immediately the manner of the Eng
lishmen changed. They were plainly
chagrined that they had been betrayed
into the expression If such marked ap-
proval. With chilling acknowledge
ment of Willis information they radi-
cally changed their tune for Tilden's
benefit. Where formerly they had

"Wretchedly conceived and imper-

Brilishers, with an air of administer

quickly finishing matters.

CHAMPION SHEEP sHEARER.
Louisiana Girl Easily Distances All
Her Male Competitors.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Lota Fernal is one of the handsomest
girls in all st. Tammany parish, Louis
lana. Not only that, she has broken
the record in the matter of sheep shar-
ing. This country maiden can shear
more sheep in day than any two men
in the parish, catching, tying and wash
ing the sheep her own self before shear
ing. Lately she sheared eighty sheep
in one day, beating the swiftest shearer
among the men by fifteen sheep. She
can also hoe two rows of corn to any
mans one, is an expert rider and never
uses a saddle, preferring to drive cattle
ITO water bareback. 1t is said that
a prettier sight could not be seen than
to see her catch romping horse, jump
upon him bareback" and, without
other reins than the long name, drive
the COWS home of an evening through
the waving pines. She knows how to
milk card and weave, and is said to
excel in hOusework.
With all the rough usage to which
she submits her lovely hands in the
very hard work that she loves, they
are so whit and soft that they attract
the attention Of tourists through the
beautiful pine region. The country
people account for this by the we'll
known fact that the wool of the sheep
is pregnant with oil, which is used ex-
tensively in almost all complexion
preparations, and Is said to be an in
fallible remedy for the removal Of
wrinkles. Her hands never show to
better advantage than when knitting
woolen gloves in the winter evenings.
Again, In this work her skill is shown
in the beautiful dyes she makes and
uses from the bark of trees.
Naturally this girl is much sought
after by the country swain for she
owns her own tract of ground and sew
eral hundred head of cattle in her own
right But she is invulnerable to all
the darts of Cupid, shaking her head
and averring; Mary a man can marry

TEMPTATION.-The closing petition
(verse 13 has perpeXed some people.
1t has been said that God would not lead
His children into temptation, and that
therefore 1t is unnecessary and even inn
pertinent to ask Him not to do so. (Rov.
iii, 10.) An old Scotch writer avoids this
difficulty by supposing an ellpsis and sup
plying 1t thus: Lead us that we enter
not into temptation"-a recognition of
the fact that men are exposed, and that
divine guidance Is needed and sufficient.
I'll Peter, ii. 81 This doubtless comes
very near to the true meaning as the
conclusion of this petition shows, de
liver us from evil,' help us when we
are likely to be overtaken and ensnared.
John xvii. lj) 1t is proper to add that
the word here translated temptation is
frequently used in the sense of trial, or
testing. (Gen. xii, L. But in this place
it evidently signifies solicitation to evil.
DOXOLOGY.--The prayer taught by
Jesus ends with an asCripton to God,
as if the heart. whatever else for a time
/ it may entertain, ought to return to Him
as the source of all coed. Men are direct
| ed to declare that the kingdom, the right
! ful authority in government belongs to
| Him: that He possesses power sufficient
| to administer and maintain His authority
and that i'm His person and charcter lie
| is altogether glorious that, indeed, these
| three-fold attributes or possessions are

| slightly abbreviated, as was employed by
| David. q Chron. xiv, H. 1t is intend

A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organs,
who is racked with pain, and tortured with

are the natural results of suffering of this
description. The poor invalid woman is
not at fault, save in her ignorance of her

womanly health.

II tho question were asked what is
the greatest mechanical achievement OF
the nineteenth century, the correct an
swer would undoubtedly be the IL, 900
mile railway Russia is now completing
across her whole empire. Tho road will
be finished and in operation throughout
it's whole length before 1898 is ended.
1t cost $500, 600, 900 and has occupied
altogether about ten years in construc.
ton from the time the first surveys
were made. From st. Petersburg to
the Pacific ocean, the road covers IL, 900
miles. Across Siberia the distance is
8, 200 miles. By aid Of this road II
may travel around the globe in S3 days,
and Americans will be among the first
to make the trip.
The political and moral effects Of this
great industrial enterprise are incalcu.
liable. Before these effects the power of
England in Asia will dwindle. It can
not be otherwise. From the military
and political point of view the road
will make Russian influence in Asia
paramount so long as the empire stands.
Economically it will open up to free
settlement 1, 900, 900 square miles OF
good agricultural lands. Russia will
c~olonize as rapidly as possible her peas
ants at home upon these lands, SO that
from now on there will be no more fam
ines i'll the empire. Besides that tho
road will be a direct invasion Of civil
ization into the hitherto inaccessible
regions of de Chinese empire, with its
400, 600, 900 people.
