made us sit in a certain position, hold

seen a more disgusting doctrine out
side the Turkish harems. Women are
certainly to be commended for taking
a stand against the accursed doctrine,
and we are glad to see the intellectual
vitriol poured over the man who at.
tempts to defend it.
A rather amusing thing was wit
messed by Gath Sunday evening. 1t
was a young couple spooning on the
door step Immediately on 'he street.
We had a right to use the street, and
therefore could not help seeing the
happy couple, and happy they GEL
tainly we're, if actions mean any
thing. and the old saw is that they
speak louder than words. Now,
don't imagine we are giving you
the introduction to an epistle on
love making, and the usual condi-
ments Of hugging, and kissing.
There is always a strong disposition
in the average young man to hug a
pretty girl, and the disposition is
often decidedly mutual. And while
it is a malady that must be hand
led with care like the small pox,
it is the prelude at the highest and
most sacred relation in life-that of
the union of two souls to the by
menal altar. A gentleman once re-
marked to Gath that he had never
kissed his wife before they were
married, and when we saw her, we
did not wonder at it. There were
reasons. But the love making of
young people is far too sacred a thing
to be INDUCED in on the public
streets, and the sacredness Of the rela
tion is abused when it is turned into a
circus for the %edi6cation Of the gap
ping public. Don't make love on the
street.

A Railroads Giant Locomotive

Boston Herald: The Baltimore e Ohio
railroad Is having plans prepared for a
giant locomotive to be used on the heavy
mountain grades as q helper. Designs are
under consideration for an articulated To-
comotive of extra large size. No contract
has been awarded, as all the details have
not been worked out definitely. The new
locomotive in service on any eastern
pounds with team pressure of 235 pounds,
TO the square inch, and viii have five
pairs of driving wheels or fourteen
wheels III all.
This, It is believed, will be the largest
locomotive in service on any Eastern
road. The largest one in service on the
Baltimore & Ohio weighs $4,000 pounds
and carries 205 pounds of steam pressure
to the square inch. The explanation of
an articulated locomotive is that it is
of jointed construction and accommodate ties
itself to the curvature Of the track in
stead of being rigid.

Where Blood Tells.

New York Times: 1t was in one of tho
farming districts of New England. The
young folks had banded themselves to-
gether for monthly Publications during
the winter, and were about to celebra te
the last dance Of the season, as well as a
couple of engagements which had resulted
from the assemblies. Ben Hawkins the
local Paginini, and his Stradivarius had
been engaged to lead them through the
mazes of the country dance, and all were
looking toward to the time of their life"
But death inconsiderately claimed Mrs.
Hawkins for his own on the afternoon Of
the eventful party. The young people
gathered as arranged, but bemoaned the
absence of cole Ben," and games were
being substituted for the dancing, when
10! Hawkins and his fiddle appeared on
the scene. Great establishment and many
questions greeted the old man, but he
calmly slipped his fiddle out of its green
bag, and, as he meditatively rubbed the
resin on the bow, said: wall, yes. Ma

which there is q lining of saltpetre and

by a detachment of United States

to bring him to terms by moral sua-
sion. General Candy was instructed to
join this commission and assist it in

The commission approached the lava
beds in February and sent in mes
senger with a flag of truce to invite
Jack to peace powwow. Jack was i'll
disposed to parley, especially as he had
long cherished grudge against
Meacham individually. But attached
to the government party was ranch

conditions that five unarmed warriors

THE ARTIST TURNED AND BOWED.
which is never mentioned in the coun-
ty without some question being asked
about it's ghost. 1t is such charming
ly dressed and such beautiful ghost
and its story is so profoundly pathetic!
The last man who saw it was a cele-
brated painter and hardened skeptic
so far as ghosts are concerned. He had
been commissioned to paint Mr.. KS
daughter and was invited to stay at
the house a few days. Arriving at 6
o'clock one evening, he found that his
host and hostess and their daughter
were still out. He was accordingly
shown directly to his room, where he
remained until the sound OF voices be-
low warned him that the family had
returned. He went downstairs, ex-
changed few words with Mr.. x, aft
erward going back to his room.
When there he found he wanted his
paint box, and, thinking it might have
been left packed in his portmanteau in
the box room, where he had seen it
taken by the servant, he went in
search Of it.
A passage led from his room to the
box room. Having got what he want
ed, he was returning to his room when,
glancing over his shoulder down the
corridor, ne distinctly saw a lady in a
beautiful blue and yellow evening
dress standing at the top Of four steps
that led to door.
He bowed, she returned his bow, and
he retired to his room.
When dressed for dinner he went
into the drawing room and found there
the father, mother and the girl.
Dinner was ready, and he was asked
to take his hostess into the dining
room. But he paused moment to in
quire if there was not another lady
coming to dinner.
''No. What lady?''
'TThe one I saw a few minutes ago
standing in the corridor dressed for
dinner
Then, with some excitement, they
asked him to describe her.
He did so in no little bewilderment,
for the truth had not as yet begun to
w IL upO11 A1hl. &AhO w hCI liz nav >-N
ished they told him that he had just
seen the family ghost.
Subsequently he learned that the
beautiful apparition was the wife OF a
cavalier who had been killed in the
civil war. She had died Of a broken
heart and had often appeared in that
same part Of the house. Her dress was
so remarkable that no one could mis-
take the figure.
Could she have reappeared where her
soul had been moved by the tragedy
that tradition reports? Is it possible
that no great emotion ever wholly
passes? Is 1t to be imagined that where
scenes Of deep feeling have been en-
acted there an eidolon, as the Greeks
would say, or an image of the occur
renee or Of the people connected with
the tragedy remains and can be seen
by those who have the power? Per
haps the person having the gift OF
sight may not come for ages. But Is
the sight not always visible to eyes
gifted to see?
Does anything wholly perish? May
it not be that all things done await
onlT the discerning eyes, the attun1ng
temperament, again to prove that they
exist?
