Nirvana Of Buddhism.

The Buddhist forbears to slaugh-
ter animals, be 1t for food, sport or
scientific purposes; he discredits the
theory that they have been created
for the use Of man, and that he has
any right over them. The Buddha
sat and taught that every human be-
ing, high or low, animal or human,
while transmigrating in any of the ma
terial, semi-material or nonmaterial
worlds, is subject to alternate misery
and Elusive happiness, and that last.
~ bliss is found only In Nirvana.

was the cause of transmigration with
its miseries, and that when through
enlightenment this will ceases, Mir

or incarnation in earthly bodies

had to be stified to greater or less
extent.
So John passed from one window
to another, trying each In turn. Sue
cess did not come Immediately, but
he was not discouraged. A mans
character crops out even in such small
things OF life. and John possessed
pertinacity to certainty.
Finally he discovered window that
offered no resistance to his onslaught,
and thus after the long lapse of years
he once more entered the house that
had been his boyhood's home.
Like a man walking in his sleep,
he passed from one room to another.
The moonlight found an entrance
through the many windows, though
they were festooned with cobwebs
after the manner Of deserted man
sions. 1t served to reveal various
objects in the rooms, and Johns mind
went back through the vista Of years
as each familiar scene aroused men,
cries Of the past.
At length he stood in the room that
seemed to be his goal. Here was the
wide-throated chimney. the generous
hearth with its old-fashioned andirons.
In front of a roaring fire how many
times in the long ago had he sat with
his boy companions, cracking nuts
and chattering like lot of magpies,
or listening to grandfather's weird
stories of early life in the South.
John was an intensely practical
man, and quickly swept aside this halo
of romance that threatened to over
whelm him..

Just as he was bending down to re-
move one of the stones that formed
the hearth, he heard the boot of an
owl from the outside. This was the
signal arranged with the sergeant

window, but the dust was too thick

Washington, Feb. 4.-Democratic
senator's perfected yesterday what they
believed to be compact organization
to defeat the Santo Domingo treaty
and place the minority in position to
compel strict party vote on other
! questions likely to arise during the
present session.
Two resolutions were adopted at q
caucus continuing FIVE hours, which,
the democrats assert, not only Will dis
pose of the Dominican treaty. but will
furnish the precedent for demanding
united party vote on all questions
that may be considered partisan In
their character, when two.thirds OF the
democratic senators so decide, The
resolutions, both of which were carried
by more than two-thirds Of those pres
ent, follow:
Resolved, That the senate ought
not to advise and consent to the treaty
between the United States anc the re.
public of Santo Domingo, now pending
before the senate.
Resolved, That II two-thirds OF the
caucus shall vote in favor of the fore
going resolution, II shall be the duty
of every democratic senator to vote
against the ratification OF the said
treaty"

on the glass to allow him chance to
see.
The report of a gun sounded on the
night air.
This meant business beyond a per-
adventure, for in war times the dis
charge Of firearms Is significant.
Whatever his mission to this home
Of his boyhood, 1t must for the present
be postponed. He again traversed the
rooms, aiming for the open window.
Shouts were heard from the outside,
proclaiming the presence of the enemy
in force. Johns bravery had been
tested ere now on many hard-fought
field, and it was with Impotence at
being interrupted rather than alarm
that he scrambled through the small
pantry window.
No sooner had he dropped upon the
ground than violent hands were laid
on him. A muscular man, John set
about persuading his assailants that
they could not thus act with impunity.
Though three to one, they might
have met their match in this desperate
soldier, but for the coming Of rein
forcements. Under the combined as
sault John was soon made prisoner,
and painting for breath awaited the
next move of his enemies.
To his surprise only two of them
seemed to wear any uniform. The
others were civilians or blacks, and
evidently belonged to some planta-
ton. He looked In vain for signs of
the sergeant, and would have believed
the other must have made his escape
only for the haunting memory of the
single shot.
What would they do with him?
John gave no sign of alarm, and yet
under the peculiar circumstances he
knew they might be disposed to treat
him as spy.
Exasperated by the march of Sher-
man and the fate of Atlanta, which
hung trembling in the balance, the
Georgians were not in mood for
philosophy or mercy. Cruel war
brings out the most intense passions
of men.
Under these circumst ,nces, til ere-
fore, he kept his ears on the aler. to
catch what was said, when the man
wearing a Confederate captains uni
form advanced and looked closely into
his face.
"You are Yankee?" he asked,
CURLY.
II am" replied John, boldly, desir-
GUS of avoiding the charge Of being
called spy.
Married or single?" was the next
astonishing question.
"a bachelor" returned the Federal,
proudly.
"Then / reckon you'll do. Men, bring
him along, and If he tries to escape,
charge of buckshot must finish him.
To Lyndhurst."
AS he marched along In their midst,
the prisoner found himself wondering
what astonishing adventure was about
to overwhelm him.
