If any branch or age of the human
family has escaped the grasp of the
trusts it has not been observed. They
reach out for the baby's cradle, the
youngsters candy, the mans toddy,
the woman's corset and the corpses'
coffin. No one has yet devised a
scheme to get a corner on salvation,
SO this is probably safe until the lawyers

PLATE. IN STOMACH.
The Result Of Shell Wound Re-
ceived by New French Min.
lister Of War.

Gen. De Gallifet, the new French
minister Of war, who has excited uni
'versal admiration by his repression of
unruly army officers, is remarkable for
wearing a silver plate over his stomach
in place of the tissue with which nature
supplied him.
The general was terribly wounded at
the siege of the Convent of Guadeloupe
during the French expedition to Mex
leo, in 1863. A she'll carried away a
large portion of his stomach. go
He explains that his experience as a
sportsman then stood him in good
stead.
He had often noticed how when a
hound was gored at boar hunt he was
not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines
were replaced and the skin stitched up.
When, therefore, he recovered con-
seriousness he himself describes how he
collected all he could and made his own
way by himself to the ambulance as
rapidly as his shatterd trunk would
allow him to do. His wound was the
object of universal sympathy; his COM
rades fetched snow from the noun
tains so as to keep him at the proper
temperature; the empress herself or
dered him to recover, and he then main
tanned he could not, as a man of gal
lantry, refuse to obey the orders of
such lady. He had to replace what
had been lost by silver substitute.
Many other stories are told of his
daring; how to win a wager he jumped
into the Rhone on horseback. So well
did he establish his reputation that Ma
poleon III. at once said: "Dourot repre-
sents virtue, but Gallifet represents
bravery. I believe that he, like Bay
ard, could easily defend a bridge by
himself against all corners. Y.

GUNsAULUs' ANCIENT HORSE.
m Equine Purchase Of the Chicago
Divine In His Youth Which Dis.
-; gusted His Father.

Once upon time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the. houses of the dearons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend few days., His father, SO
the story goes. was a rough old chap Of the
uncut diamond sort, with vocabulary
more expressive than elegant. .,.j,s..~ :
We'll, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself in possession of enough money to
buy horse. He thought it would be better
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. 1t was a
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
it he rode it home. His father was in The
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal.

Anything But an Envi-

How does. the Yankee look in the
Imagination of my countrymen? In the
German language only three things are
usually connected with the adjective
American; the Germans speak of Amer
lean stoves, and mean kind of stove
which have never seen in this country;
secondly, they speak of American duels,
and mean q crazy type Of duel which
was certainly never fought on this con-
tinent; and thirdly, they speak Amer
lean -humbug, and mean by it that kind
Of humbug which fourishes in Berlin
just as in Chicago. Bet the American
man is Of course very well known. He
is a haggard creature, with vulgar tastes
and brutal manners, who drinks whisky
and chews tobacco, spits, fights, puts
his feet on the table, and habitually
PUSHES alongin wild haste, absorbed by
a greedy desire for the dollars of his
neighbors. He does not care for educa-
ton. or art, for the public welfare or for
justice, except SO far as they mean mon
ey to him. Corrupt from top to toe, he
buys legislation and courts and gov
eminent, and when he wants fun he
lynches negroes on Madison Square, in
New York, or in the Boston public gar
den. He has his family home usually in

fate? He had done his best, as he said,

memories crowded upon his mind, and
the present faded and grew indistinct,

a child's happy laughter!

feet. "Dost hear? Thou wilt hear him

Hawaii or any other colony con the
European plan), but that colonial
governments would be administered
for the benefit of the colonies them
selves and at a cost as low as possible.
The United States knows no other way
of governing. My Hawaiian neighbor
had never taken this view of the case
and was perfectly satisfied that he and
his lease were in pretty good hands.
l happen to know that the salary OF
the Governor General of Canada (pop
ulation seven millions) is $4,000. the
same as that Of the President OF the
United States (seventy millions).
L think that some such proportion
(disproportion rather) will be found to
exist between the salaries of United
States territorial officers and the sal
aries of colonies under the European
Powers.
Great Britain provides good colonial
governments, the best of any of the
European nations, but they are ex-
pensive and in many cases out OF all
proportion to the resources of the col
onies. This is partly the fault of the
colonists themselves, who, with child
ish weakness for titles, are not salts
fed unless their governor has a handle
to his name. AS the supply OF titled
men fit to be governors is quite limited
there is sort of corner in the market
and the goods are high in price. No
matter, let us have a titled governor,
if it does pinch us to pay him. / know
that some of the British colonies are
pinched severely.
The supply of Americans that would
| make efficient territorial governors is
unlimited; the great nation is teeming
! with them. By his education and en-
vironment the American is preeminent
for versatility. c. III.
