Some depositors wrecked a small savings bank in London because they were

unable to draw their money on demand. The police refused to interfere .in the matter. Beports from Alexandria show that the cholera has taken possession of that city, and that the death rate is increasing dally. Cholera exists not only among the natives, but in the barracks of the English roldiery and in the European hotels and private houses. The plague, whether it be endemic or opidemiq,- is ipreading, and threatens to go farther than Alexandria. XJiTER, lIXWsHreElM.

PASSING ETEIKT8 Praparirtg b Squeeze Monopoiy-Tfie lethii Calamity; Out Forests-"The Chdlern-fchr)erinrf Agricultural frospyefa The completion of the 1'orthern Faomc railway is fraught with vital interest to the people of the Paotfld coast. Heretdf ore, hi the opening of the new routes, the Centrai Paolue combination have been enabled, gcogtaphieal and other influences, to so maintain rare and frolght-rates that the new routes ailordeu no relief to anybody. The completion of the Southern Paoific, the Atciitaon, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Denver and Bio Grande and the Atlantic and Pacific, has in no case resulted in a reduction of fare to California, for the reason that thil Central Paoiflo, controlling as ft does oh all sides, the Western outlet Of those roads, refuses to make concessions. With tbtl completion of the Northern Paciflo a new era will dawn. That road is under obligation to nobody. It reaches tide-water with its own line, and the Paciflo ocean is free to all It can make its own rates without fear of reprisals in any direction. It can cut the fare to San Francisco to ti5 quite enough, by the way and force its rivals to follow suit or lose the business. It can mske its own freight rates, make it own contracts with Paoiflo coast merchants in other words, do exactly as it pleases, and the Qert tral Paciflo oombinatloE is powerless for either redress or vengeanoe.

The Ischla Calamity. The mail accounts of the Isohia calamity bring it before the reader in stUi more vivid colors than those of the ialegramf. At Ossamiooiola there was a resident population of 4,000, and the town was crowded with visitors. After a premonitory roaring the earth began to roll and surge "like a pot of thick mueh," and in an instant buildings began to crackle and crumble into heap of rubbish. Great cracks opened in the earth, into which many houses disappeared bodily. It was about 10 o'clock at night when the end came. A moment before, and n large town was full of people, many already in bed. A moment later, and not a single bouse was left standing, saving: only a small church by the sea, and the roof was partly shaken off that. A few of the inhabitant 11 esoaped to the streets only to be crushed later by falling walla Dense masses of sulphurous smoke and dust were emitted, in which many were suffocated.- There was not a light left, It was total darkness. Not until morning could the survivors begin to rescue the wounded, In the ruins of that single town 4,000 people lie entombed. For a day or two many lingered in suffering. One by one their cries ceased In two or three days the progress of decomposition has made the work of seeking for remains an impossible task. This is the history of one town. There were a half-dozen others in which similar scenes were witnessed upon a smaller scale It was one of the most appalling disasters of modern times.

Our Forests. The meeting of the American Forestry oongreBs was held at 8k Paul The primary object of this association is the preservation of our forests. Dr. Lorlng, United States Commissioner of Agriculture, is its President aad delivered the opening address. Among other things he said that the consumption of pine lumber by tire and in the arts was very great, and suggested that the future supply might be obtained by allowing an exhausted region to recuperate while the lumberman resorts to unout sections for the propose of his demands. New Hampshire and Vermont are exhausted of their pine supply, and their spruce will last but seven and four years respectively at the present rate of consumption. In Maine the pine will last but four andsprnoe fifteen yearn, while in South Carolina, at the present rate of cutting, the pine forests will last fifty years; California, ISO years; Arkansas, 800 years; Pennsylvania, IS years; Georgia, 80 years, Louisiana, 100 years; North Carolina, 60 years; Wisconsin, 90 years; Michigan, 10 years; Hlnneasoto, 10 years; Mississippi, 150 years; Alabama, 00 years; Florida, 10 years; Texas, 230 years, Exhausted forests can be restored in time, and to this end every means should be applied both by people and Government, each within its own jurisdiction,

The Cholera, If it is true that the cholera, which has caused such dreadful ravages :n Egypt, Is not the genuine Astatic disease, there is, of course, every reason tor believing that we will escape a visitation from the plague. The physicians who were first sent over by France and England pronounced it Asiatic cholera of the most malignant type. The physicians cent from India into Egypt by the British Government say the disease is nothing like the plague with which they are familiar in India, There is a doubt, then, as to tie character of the pestilence. It it is an endemic disease, there is no occasion for alarm either in Europe or America; it it is an epidemio disease, it is certain to take the grand tour around the inhabitable eartli. Cheering- Agricultural Prospect. In the midst of a somewhat, to say the least, doubtful financial and commercial outlook the prospect of a most bountiful harvest, and consequent plentiful breadstuff supply at moderate prices, is such as should insure popular content and tranquility. Indeed, the agricultural prospect is so hopeful as to constitute a silver lining to the somewhat darker than ordinary cloud that just now obscures the horizon of trade and commerce.

And what kind of a house do you think they had? Why, nothing more nor less than a real crystal palace a house made all of glass, about 200 feet square and sixty feet high. In it were several largo trees, and monkeys of all kinds and all sizes were frisking about, climbing tho trees, swinging from the branches, hanging by their tails, jumping across from one tree to another, phasing each other in t.ll directions, and having the best time possible. Of course, the monkeys could not feel at home a way fromtrees, and, if there had been a large forest in which they could climb and chatter, they would doubtless have been satisfied. I said there were all kinds of monkeys in this glass house, and you know there is a great variety even of the smaller sizes. Thoy had been brought from Asia and Africa, and the forests of tropical America. There were howling monkeys, with pointed heads and bearded faces, which make night hideous with their fearful noises; thore were. little olive-green, wild-eyed monkeys, which sat back in some quiet cornor, and grinned slightly at the antics of the boisterous "onej; there were reddish-brown monkeys, with long hair and beard, and dismal, blue-black faces; there were jet black monkeys, which swing so much by the tail from the trees that they are called the spider monkey; thore were monkeys with short, bushy tails like squirrels; there were others with long, slender caudal appendages, tiometimes much longer than their bodies; there were some pretty, gray monkeys, with wellformed hands, who are greet climbers, and others with the four fingers, and no thumbs. There were olive-brown monkeys, with a block crown like a monk's cap, above their eyes, and so called Capuchins, after the monks of that order in Italy. There were other fierce-looking fellows with claws', who eat meat as well as vegetables and insects, like the others. There were narrow-nosed monkeys from America, and great broadnosed fellows from Asia; there were proboscis monkeys, with noses several inches long, and faces that resemble foxes; there were short-legged and long-legged monkeys, and several of the King monkeys, which have long, coarse, flowing hair on the head, their bodies shining black and their tails pure white; and there were green monkeys with white bands over their heads. They all looked so knowing, and played so many good tricks on each other, that it was very amusing to watch them. Most of them were very lively and playful, but we noticed one Old fellow, very large and stout, with yellow hair and gray, shaggy beard, who looked upon tho frolics of the others as though he thought they were a wonderfully silly set of monkeys, and ho, off in his corner, would sit up in the most dignified manner possible, with an air of conscious superiority, glancing occasionally at their sports, and then turn away in disdain, as though he thought to himself: "What frivolous creatures these are, to spend all their time in frolic and play, while my mind is occupied with high and mighty thoughts about our race and its wonderful development and future possibilities. We shall one day rule the universe, just as these men, who ore only a little in advance of us, do now." Two frisky little fellows, who seemed to appreciate the situation, chattered to each other, and seemed to plan to take down this old fellow and make him laugh in spite of his dignified manner. Then, looking very knowing, they stole up softly behind him, each bit him on the ear and jumped quickly back. But old Mr. Dignity did not deign to look around, not he. He would pay no attention to such trifling creatures; his great thoughts were not to be interrupted by them! They stood behind him a moment or two, then, winking to each other, crept up Blyly again and pulled his long hair. Still he took no notice of these juvenile intruders, any more (ban if a fly hod lighted on his Majesty. They chattered away to each other behind him, and soon walked quietly toward him and bit bis ear with considerable spite and fierceness. That was carrying a joke a little too far, and, as quick as thought, the old fellow's great hand was lifted, and he gave them jiuch a broadside across their faces as sent' them squealing io the top branch of one of the trees. I guess no monkeys ever made quicker time on a climbing expedition. They were still sitting there, chattering away to each other, putting their hands up to their hurt faces and saying all sorts of hard things about old Mr. Dignity, and planning to bring him to grief in some way, when we turned way and left them. Chicago Standard. Sayings of the Utile One. "What trade would you like to be brought up to, my sen?" asked a gentleman of a boy. "The trustee trade; 'cause ever since pa has been a trustee we've had puddin' for dinner." A little girl who was disappointed because her name could not be found in the Bible said: "Never mind. I will be such a good girl that if another Bible is written my name will go into it." "Mother !" cried Johnny, who was emptying a jug of milk, "I've found out what gave the jug its name!" "What do you mean, Johnny?' "Why, don't you hear what it says when the milk comes out? Jug-jug-jug ! As A small boy put on his skates the first time, after two hours' hard work he came bursting in, rosy with exeroise and excitement, shouting, "Oh, mamma, it's lot of fun, but there's an awful sight of picking up about it" A polite little girl was shown a set of playthings and a doll, and was asked which she would have. She looked at the doll, whioh was a fine one, and then drawing her mother's head down she Whimpered i "X would rather have the

glaylhicks, but please don't tall the 811;" In a neighboring Sunday-school, a few weeks ago; the question was asked: "What has Jesus done for you?" One little 4-year-old raised her hand. " Well, what is it?" said the teacher; "I know what He's done for Bertha. He's Bent a, little baby brother to her house, and it's real ounnihg;'1 . A 3-VEAR-oLD; who was about leaving home with his mother to be absent several Weeks was asked by his) father: " What would you do, my son, if I should die while you are away?" The little fellow burst into a torrent of tears, and, between his sobs, said: "Why, papa, I would ask God to make you over again !" A CLEBdVMArf who had An exchange With a brother' clergytnan last Sunday afternOoh, was talking with his 4-yoar-old daughter, who regularly attends service, and usually sleeps during the sermon. Ho Was speaking at home of the minister who preached, when she said : "Papa didn't preach, and X didn't go to sleep I" A 7-VEAK'OLti South Boston boy tried in vain for n long time tho other evening to get his opinions heard upon a subject that was engrossing the earnest attention of several ladies at his home. Becoming tired of the incessant talk of one lady he at lost was daly recognized upon asking her, "Who holds tho key to your jaw ? A lady, who had company to tea, reproved her son several times, speaking, however, very gently. At lost, out of patience wiith him flhfl said sharply, "Jimmy, if you don't keep still, I'll send you away from the table." "Yes, that's what you always do when there is company, and there's not enough cookies to go round," was the reply of the gifted youth, A Vim of His Own. One of our best local preachers preached a sermon on children, and the way to bring them up, and speaking of the old ides, that a stubborn child, or a child with a will of its own, was a nuisance, the elder said, "I wouldn't give a farthing for a child, that had not a will of its own," or words to that effect. The time has been when a child with a will of its own has been looked upon by the whole neighborhood as a terror, and mothers have sighed and endured sorrow when they have noticed the spirit shown by such a child. Bnt when they, in after years, have looked around and seen that the most successful men and women of the land grew np from children that had wills of their own, the sodnes3 and sorrow of the mother had given place to pride. The Sun does not like to see children have wills of their own that are so strong that they cs.nnot be controlled by parents, bnt few children who have the right kind of parents have- such wills. Take a child with a will of its own, and guide that will properly, and not knock the backbone out of it with a barrelstave, and the child will -grow up to be a success in business. Children with wills of their own may turn out to be pirates or highway robbers, but it will be because parents try to break that will by severe punishment They may partially break it, but it will assert itself sometime in the wrong way, while if it is guided properly the will may be a mountain of strength. The successful men in nil branches of business are men who had "wills of their own" in youth. They were not pet children who never said their souls were their own. Such children become hemilliners, or dudes. The successful men look with pride upon their children who have wills of their own, because they know by experience that such a will is worth millions in the battle of life. A man who had no mind of his own as a boy, may be good enough to carry sha wls to a matinee, or baskets to a picnic, or he may stand on a corner and chew a cane, hut he could not build a railroad through a wilderness or across a mountain, and rather than face a panic he would sit down and cry. He could not invent anything, unless it was a patent corset or a self-fastening hair-pin, while his brother, who had a will of his own, would invent a telephone or a locomotive. The child with a will of his own may be harder to raise, and he may cause some heartaches and anxiety, but when that will which was go hard to handle in youth, gets hold ol! a difficult problem of business in later years, and clinches itself around the problem, and begins to squeeze, it will never let up until success is achieved. The stubborn', "Be sure you are right and then go ahead" boys are in demand, and are worth their weight in gold, while the milk-and-water, "baby-mine" fellows have' to bo done np in 'bunches like radishes, and got rid of in a lump, and half of them turn out to be pithy and no good. If you, good mother, have a child with a wDl of its own, dont worry about the child, but thank God and bend the will

Ay kindness , and when that chud grows

up and succeeds where otnersiau, write us a postal card. All of the successful men in tho country had wills of their own, and that was all the capital they had. Wheia we see a child with a will of its own, we always want to take it one side and tell it the good news that will is more valuablo than a rioh relative. Fectf Sun. , Wasted Energy. Who would suppose that any Bane man could be induced to swing a heavy sledgehammer for fun? It was a Yankee who evolved that irrational theory of amusement At fairs- and other places of multitudes he glibly calls attention to a 'machine which, when a blow is struck n an upright iron bolt, records on a scale the force of the stroke. An almogconstant succession of fools pay for the ojrportnnity of thus wasting their strength, hey do not thus exert themselves for exeroise. Those who need the stretch of muscle are the very ones who lack enough of it to make a good show at the strikingmachine, and who do not expose themselves to ridioule by making many efforts; while brawny fellows are tempted to - exhibit their strength. "A six-, footer, with arms that bulged his sleeves with bunches of muscle at every lift of the heavy hammer, and hands that seemed capable of leaving their impression orf tho hard ash handle," says tho Bceton Herald, "was incited by the spectators' mtadfestations of admiration to labor tremendously an entire hour. He was streaming with perspiration when he got through, and had parted with more vitality than a week of sea air could restore. "You must take a greali deal of exercise,' was remarked, 'to moke yourself so strong.' Begorra, I wilt an anvil six days ivery week,' was the reply. And here he was on the seventh day, paying out his niokels for the chance to do more of the hard surikmg by whioh he had earned them. Could folly in diversion go further?" The Leading States In Population. One-third of the population of the Union is contained within the boundaries of five States, which form a compact section of country between the Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi Biver.

"Brown." said Mr. J. S.

Mr. J. F. Brown looked grieved. Sever before had ho been addressed is term of reproach by Mr. J. S. Brown. "Bnt Brown," expostulated Mr. J.F: Brown, "you seem to forget that" "I forget nothing," interrupted Mr. J. S. Brown; "I am perfectly well aware that you have a new baby-daughter up at your house. How could I forget it, when I am reminded of the fact every fifteen or twenty minutes. A daughter, Brown, is good enough and has, I admit certain advantages in her way, but' I submit Brown, that- a daughter is no excuse for the excessive levity and coltishness of which you have rMAn imilfev fnr fit a mutt iV"

' q v f - , "I I I don't understand," stem- 1

And Mr. J. S. Brown nearly choked with chagrin and disgust, wliile Mr. J. F. Brown sat mutely by and nervously

oit ills anger-nails, and vainly tried to keep the tears from brimming over his

eyelids. "You seem to forget Brown," said Mr. J. F- Brown finally, very tremulously and very tenderly, "you seem to forget that while she is my daughter, ihe is your niece." Mr.- J. S. Brown started as if he had been toying with the business end of an electric battery. A new and bright Idea seemed to have dawed upon him. pis lower jaw fell, his eyes opened to their widest capacity, and a look of combined astonishment aad pleasure crept over his face. "Brown," murmured Mr. J. S. Brown, faintly and unsteadily, "say it again and say it slow." "You seem to forget repeated Mr. J. F. Brown, "that while she is my daughter she is at the. same time your niece." . "Well, I snum!" exclaimed Mr. J. S. Brown, "I never thought of that!"

We'll close up the store the clerks shall have a holiday and, Brown, Dome closer to me, well have a lemonade and cigars all around till we can't rest ! Your daughter, my niece Brown, old fellow, I congratulate you!" Denver Tribune. Oyster Weather. The oyster is a parody on patience, he waits like Mica wber for something to turn up for him to eat He lives upon pot luck or chance food that flows down the river to the bed near his mouth, In dry seasons when the rivers are low and sluggish ho doesn't fare like a clam at high tide. He waits and hangs on like a brother-in-law out of a job until the rains descend and swell the rivers, when they wash down a sumptuous banquet of edible driftwood. When he feels the fiist influx of a flood he puts his hind legs fast down in the mud and opens his calm peaceful mouth from stem to circumference and laughs until his aides ache. He eats and minces until his system is voluptuous with the best the country affords. He cannot pack his valise full of provisions for a dry spell nor can he hutitle around over the country picking up tid bits and unless the mil of fare is chucked under his nose he is compelled to go hungry or Waltz off on his ear to greener, " pastures. Of oourse dry weather makes him as poor as Job's gobbler and as we have had frequent and assorted sizes of rains this season the oyster ought to bob up serenely in the fall and taste as luscious as the early worm in a premidita ted apple. The oyster can neither racquet nor talk and yet he manages to get along far better at a social gathering than the average society young man who cant do anything else much. The oyster when brought to this cyclone belt is said to lose many of its characteristic foibles, such as his shell and his pranks With the house pet that lets its tail wander too near the front door of the oyster's residence. Here we are accustomed to meet him with his vest off aad hia activity gone. He pines for the salt sea air of his native heath, and refuses to he consoled by our terse Western manners. He is enthused over the effete East and would rather live there all hia life and die of spinal meningitis than jink into the stomach of a niekleplated Senator or a wild Western dude. -Chicago Cheek. Remarkable ResemrjUnce. There were throe brothers living in Ban Antonio some years ago who resembled each other in a marvelous degree. Some gentlemen were talking kbout them one day, and it was the bpinion of nearly everybody present that it was impossible for any two men to look as muoh alike as they did. "Gentlemen," remarked one, "Idont

agree with you. I had a little brother !

puce and we resembled each other so much more than these two do." "That's impossible," remarked several. "Well, my brother is dead now and cant prove what I say, but you can t some idea about how great the resemblance was when I tell you that we looked so muoh like one aad the same nan that it was utterly impossible for is to have a dialogue.
