In the reply Of western girl to an offer Of
marriage, says Youths Companion
A young man of more book-learning than
force OF character lost the young wife who
had toiled TO support him, returned to his
native town for consolation, and found it..
Some months later she, too, passed away,
and the sad youth soon appealed to a we'll
known clergyman for assistance in finding
helpmate.
The minister introduced him to a west
ern girl of health and energy, who the next
day received a plaintive note from the wild
over. He declared that the Lord had made
great inroads upon his marital affections,
and it now seemed to be His will that she
should repair the breaches of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman keeps to-
day as one of the choicest specimens of o
varied collection, reads simply:
Mend your own breeches."

The Pacific Cable.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
If the news that Mr.. AIackay is be-
hind cable company to stretch cable
from San Francisco via Hawaii to Man
lila proves to be true it will be laid.
AT the same time we believe it would
be better today to lay the cable to Ha-
wall, and then run a separate cable
from some point in Washington up the
coast, then across to the Aleutian ISL
ands, thence TO Japan and Manila II
would require 20 per cent more length
of cable. but. ii would be q much lighter
Eahie- ana the total expense woufu nor
be more than the one straight cable
viii cost.
The depth of water between Hawaii
and Guam and again between Guam
and Manila is something tremendous
to graphic for a broken cable in those
abysses will be a difficult and costly
business.
The advantage by the direct route
would be that all stations would be on
American soil. but the advantage tbs
other way would be that American bust
ness men in Siberia China and Japan
would have the use of an American ca.
BILE, and it is expected that there will be
more aud more Americans in those coun
tries for all time to come. A cable is 8
dominating factor in trade. and one ad
vantage which Great Britain long agC
discovered and adopted was to place hel
merchants all around the world in direci
communication with London, by cable.

illustration of the Colonial Secretary's

Sherman did not corral the South

" burn and destroy the Southern
homes, though there is no doubt that
his rowing foragers burned many from
pure mischievousness Just as South
ern raiders did in the North. The
policy of Sherman consisted in tear.
ing up and destroying the Southern
railroads. By which the opposing arm

than one-shird of those who fought in
