sure among the mines.


In'the meantime, George Lane, who
could never obliterate Nellie's image
from his heart, continued single life.
He was now in business, and gradually
accumulated property. The death of
her husband, and in few months after
ward the death Of her father, awakened
anew his interest. He knew she was
poor and dependent; and he learned in
cidentally, with pain, that since her faith.
er's death she was living in the house Of
brother-in-law, who was not able to
support his family. That one still dear
to him should be thus dependent, and,
as he felt, humiliated, hurt the young
man. He could not bear the thought,
and began turning over in his mind one
suggestion after another, looking to her
relief But her considerations of delica-
cy and propriety were in the way. He
felt he could do nothing.


One morning he met her in the street.
He was walking with his eyes on the
pavement, thinking Of Nellie, when look
ing up suddenly, he saw her at distance
approaching. She was poorly clad, and
had bundle on her arm, which Lane
recognized at glance as work from q
clothing store.


Their eyes met and rested on each 9TH
er. Lane made motion as if about to
speak; Nellie dropped her veil over her
face and moved on with quicker pace.
Ere the veil fel! he saw an expression in
her eyes, and on her changed and wasted
countenance, that filed his heart with
the tenderest and saddest feelings. What
a history of suffering was revealed!


The rest need not be told. If Nellie
lost her lover when skies were bright, she
found him when the rain was falling in
to the dark days of her life, and when
painful experience had made her vision
clear.

Nellie in her sunny days we give no

another fatally injured.


A butcher residing in the town

was driving to the slaughter house.
The animal proceeded quietly
through the streets of the town nn-

getting scent of blood, he became
furious and unmanageable, he rush

of the town, attacking every person
and anything that came in his way.
The butcher was the first object of
attack, but skillfully made his escape,
and, there being several persons up
on the street, the bullock made a fur

very one in his immediate presence.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO STANTON
In the course of his eu1ogy of the
late E. NJ. Stanton before the United
States Supreme Court, Atty Gen.
Hoar said:


Mr.. Chief Justice, the lesson Of
this life is q lofty one. The time is
soon coming when men will recog-
nize the high natures who in this
period of civil strife have arisen
above the ordinary level ofmanlsind,
and are en- tiled to their gratitude
and honor. Upon those towering
peaks in the landscape the eye will
no longer discern the little inequIi-
ties and roughness of surface. AL
ready upon the canvass of history
some figures are beginning to
emerge. They are not those of
self seekers or those who who were
greedy of power or place, but the
men who in the time Of public trial
and danger, with none but public
objects, have done SO much for
their country and mankind. Among
them can his contemporaries fail to
discern. and will not posterity sure
| ly recognize, the lineaments of Ed
win NJ. Stanton A restored count
ry is his monument Nothing can
cover his high fame but heaven, NO
pyramids set off his memories but

The Memphis Ledger gives the follow
ing in regard to the escape of Col. Yer
ger:


The prisoner had sued out a writ of
habeas coypus before Judge Trimble, of
the Vicksburg district, and he had made
the writ returnable before him at Jack
son, which is in the district of Judge
Tarbcll The attorney general objected
to any hearing of the case before Judge
Trimble, sitting out of his district, on the
ground that he had no jurisdiction to
make the writ returnable at any place out
side of his district, and no jurisdiction to
try the case in another district, while
Judge Tarbell and all the judges of the
supreme court were present at Jackson,
and competent to try.


Governor Alcorn, after protesting to
the counsel of Yerger against the alleged
illega! proceedings, prepared message
to the Legislature recommending the re-
moval of Judge Trimble from office, say
ing to the friends of Yerger that he was
determined that the law should net be
openly violated by one of the judges in
his very face when he had the power to
prevent it by removal from office. Before
the message was sent, however, the coun-
sci for Yerger and the attorney general
agreed on Il continuance for four weeks.
This was on Saturday. the 18th. On the
morning of the 18th the community was
startled by the news that Yerger had es-
capped the night before 1t is said that
Yerger went before day light, on Sunday

Democracy, in its desperation, Is
trying to make an issue on the ques-
tion OF protection to American indus
try. This they can do only by the
grossest misrepresentation Of the
Republican position. Let us com
pare Notes. Here Is the resolution
on that subject passed by the Demo
cratic National Convention which
nominated IIoratio Seymour to the
Presidency:


A tariff for revenue upon foreign
imports and such equal taxation un-
der the internal revenue laws as will
afford mcident0i protection 10 domestic
manufacturers, and as will, without
inpairing the revenue, impose the
least burden upon and best DrOn'ofe
and encourage he Heat a1d,tSfrtm
interests Of tie country.


The Republican Convention which
nominated Gen. Grant did not think
enough OF the matter to express any
opinion upon it. The Republican
State Convention at Des Moines
August II adopted the resolution
which had previously been adopted
Dy tire Oi,io CUHVcntiu, "hicn Is as
follows:


Resoircd, That a tariff for revenue
Is indispensable, and should be so
adjusted AS not to become prejudicial
to the Industrial interests Of any class
or section Of the country, while
securing to Our home producers fair
competition with foreign capital and
labor.


The Democratic resolution above
Is the declared sentiment Of the
party for the whole country. 1T as
fully and squareIy recognizes the
principle Of protection rs the mass OF
the Republicans ask for. 1t goes
upon the common-sense position that
tariff duties do affect our home in
dustry, and should be so levied as to
"promote and encourage" 1t. That
is all there is To protection. That is
MI protectiOnists ask. Let Democrats
live up to their platform, and we
have no quarrel with them on that
point. But some Of them here ut the
West think the people are such fools
that they can make capital by going
back on their own platform and
opposing all protection. In that
they will find they are greatly mis-
taken.-Ioma City Republican.

we may CLASSIFY the petty lncivilitles OF
church life thus:


1. SMELLS Violent perfumes. especial.
ly those containing musk, are disagreeabls
to most persons, and to some positively
distressing. There is no smell so univer-
sally pleasing rs no smell. Never scent
yourself when going into crowded assem-
bly,. The same is true of the residuary


NELL OF tobacco which hangs about the
garments and aflicts the breath of those
who habitually suo e. But tobacco almost
invariably makes men self-indulgent and
regardless of others convenience. More
brutal yet are they who go to church reek-
ing. like q Dutchman's soup, with the
smell of onions. There are scores of peo-
pie who have lost all profit of Sunday SER
vice by the sickening smells which sur
rounded them.


2. SOUNDS. in church dur
ing the service is an sffroit 10 politeness.
Much Of the coughing which goes on in
church arises from the poisonous gases and
personal efliuvia which exist in unventil-
lated churches. But the power OF the Will
over the muscles which do the coughing is
very great. A needless person will cough
twice as much as is needful-will cough at
the worst time possible, will cough plump

stead of embalming the sound in his hand
kerchief as, with little skill and polite
ness, he might easily do. We would not
forbid men who cannot sing to make IA
joyful noise"-but it should be softly
noise. In all cases when it is o man duty
to sleep in church, it is his duty also to
snore with the soft pedal down.


3. SIeHT.-Every one likes to see the
minister. 1t cannot be done through your
body. True, yon cannot help being before
somebody, unless you are on he back seat
But. with little thought, you may very
much help those behind you. Any conduct
which shall divert the attention of others
from the service. such as osteI.atious play
ing with a watch or opening an3 shutting
1T, reading books or papers, looking about
inquisitively, is impolite.


Many churches have the Ten Command
ments set up upon the wall, in sight of the
whole congregation. although not one of
the sins reprobated is likely to be commit
ted in church time. Would it not be well
to have another tablet, enumerating the
sins which men are prone to commit in
church time?

TIE CoMINo SxsrEM OF EDUCATION Il am
as convinced as man can be that the sys-
tenn OF public education is on the eve of a
very extensive. reform. The, world has
been taught words dictated BY authority
thus far. The world needs knowledge and
training in independent thought, and it is
only the study of nature which will give rs
the last. But am satisfied that the basis
of the future of education will be the con-
temptation of the works of nature-no
longer the study of the languages, no
longer the study of the human mind, no
longer the process of mathematical reason

RISK OF GREAT EATARs.-Dr. Hall says
that great eaters never live long. vora-
eious appetite, SO far from being q sign Of
good health, is certain indication of dis
ease. Some dyspeptics are always hungry
and feel better when eating; but az soon as
they have finished eating they endure tor
ments SO distressing in their nature as to
make the unhappy victim wish for death.


The appetite of health is that which is
inclined to eat moderately when eating
time comes, and which, when satisfied.
leaves no unpleasant reminders. Multi
tudes measure their health by the quantity
they eat; and out Of ten persons, nine are
graifed with an increase Of weight. when
in reality it indicates an increase in dis
ease, showing that the absorbents of the
system are too weak to discharge their du-
ty, and the tendency to fatness, to obesity.

A SENSIBLE IDEA ABOUT VISITING
The French gentry are adopting the plan
of inviting guests by series, to their chateaux.
And each individual sets forth the exact
length Of time the guest is expected to stay,
as we'll as the day he is to come. Not
bad plan either. 4 family may be very
glad to see friend on given day, and to
entertain that friend on given day, and to
entertain that friend for givea time and
yet it might be very annoying and incon-
venient to have that visitor at another time,
or to have his visit prolonged. 1t is the
unexpectedness and length of visits which
vex ard fret families more than anything
else. The ease with which people can now
get about is producing such a rage for visit
ing, that hospitable families are really in
danger of being worn out, and rendered
| utterly wretched, If not actually improverish
ed, by the swarms of friends who fed it con-
venient and pleasant to make these hospita-
bic houses their temporary homes while
engaging in their own business or pleasure


No considerate, well bred person will

| having first ascertained whether such a
course would be convenient and agreeable
