THE CRISIS APPKOACMim nl AnMlMnaoloa Tht All tbe Roads Ccalerhaa to Chlescw Are Golan' 4o Strjlw. A Chicago special, dated the .14th fast., says: A crisis seems to be approaching in (be engineers' strike on the Burlington railroad, and before the day is out a general tie-up on all the roads centering in Chicago may be ordered or the strike on the Burlington may be declared off. The Grievance Committee of all the roads running inhere are inaecret session to-day, discussing the situation, nnd it is said that opinion is very much divided among the menastowhatiethe best coarse to pursue. It is said that many of the Pennsylvania men are opposed to the issuance of any general order, prohibitiag the members of the brotherhood on ewer lines from hauling Burlington freightvn their respective roads, and if they are strong enough to carry their point, the probes bilitv is that the strike on the Burlington will be declared off, because it is generally admitted that unless a thorough boycott can be enforced against the Bur tington roadi it can not be brought to ttrms. and; therefore, any prolongation of the strike would he bnt a needless waste of energy and of the funds of the brotherhood. It is further said that mnnyof the old men on the Burlington who participated in the strike are becoming restive, as they see their places being rapidly filled by new men, and they fear that when the strike is declared off no vacancy will be found for them on the "Q" system. .Borne f the striken, maintain that the men are as firm as ever, and that no immediate end of the struggle is to be looked for. When the meeting earae to a dose it was announced that the enginemen from each of the roads west, northwest, awd southwest had formerly voted to "stick by the Pnrlington men" that is, to refuse under any efaeumatances to handle a single Burlington ear. The Great Storm. A New York special dated the 14th mat, says the fact that business interests of this eity and Brooklyn is still paralyzed, illustrates the utter incapacity of the authorities to deal with the problem thrust upon them by the blizzard. A few thousand men could have re.uoved the snow from Broadway and other great thoroughfares and restored local traffic, but instead, few if any, hnve been employed, and no snow plow has been run over the elevated road. It is almost incredible that , such imbecility, could be found in this great eity, hut personal sufferings and losses of millions of dollars follow it. Business houses are closed and few ferries are running in any direction. People are crossing the east river on the ice to Brooklyn and back. The bridge trains are proving inadequate and thern is everywhere a feeling of apprehension nnd even alarm for the future. It wonld take volumes to tell the sufferings of the people, even of those persons with means who have been cut olf from supplies of food and fuel. Of the vast population within fifty minutes ride of the city hall, certainly two million people are being subjected to almost every conceivable character of distress or annoyance. When order will be got ont of this chaos no one can telL Deaths from exposure in Monday's storm were fewer in fact than there was good reason for supposing there would be. Over in Jersey City the condition is even worse; no communication has been established withnny of the outlying towns. The streets are filled with, snow, fallen trees, telegraph poles and abandoned vehicles. It is feared that there is much suffering in some smaller villages near there. Many people are missing their friends, and are frantic over their disappeirance. tfe .Displayed Nerve. John Henry Skinner, alias Cox, nlias BeynoWs, was taken from the county jail at Hopkinsville, Kyby an orderly mob and banged to a large wild cherry tee, two miles west of town on the Cadiz road, when this incarnate villain shot down B. P. Forquesn, an inoffensive citizen, on the night of .November 18, 18)17. Two hundred persons, masked and armed with Winchester rifles, quietly marched up Mate strest-and anrrormdatl the courthousesBit men siezed the jailor an.t demanded bis keys. The jailor answered that his wife was absent with the keys. He was then covered with six filles and admonished not to urnb an outcry, and Jailor Long was forced to unlock the cell occupied by Skinner, who took in the situation and coolly remarked: "Gentleman, let me put on my clothes. My life he.fi brought no one any good, and I am thankful that my death at least may be a blosr.ing toyou murderers..1' He was strangled to death. Minor TeJsrnM. Db. Geoboe IT.

THE OlJVORLO. A Berlin dispatch gives the following details of me last hours of Emperor William: At noon en Thursday he ashed for Prince BiMaank, woo came ana conversed with him on the politic), aitaation. The Emperor spoke clearly, sod thanked the Chancellor tor hie services to the country. Increased f oe'oleneis. soon followed alterward. Bis vo'ce became feebler and feebler, anally Rinsing to a whisper. At 5 n. m. ho was so week that the members of the family, Frlneo Hlsmorc'c. Count Vcn Moltke. and the servants of tbe household gathered around the bed. The Emperor, supported by tbe dootors, held the band of bis wits on oue aide und bis daughter a band on the otner. After tbe Kmperor had partaken of a litUo food he seemed very talkative aud spoke with Prince William, n-newing a oouveration which he had had with bim within the last few days. Henwke in a clear voice about the political situation and military arrange. menu of Oermany. He mentioned that tbe reforms he had carried oat in the army had beencopied In France. He talked about Kuaaia, and expressed a strong opinion that Oermany would not become involved in a war with that country. He spoke In tbe most friendly terms of the Anstro-German relations, bat it is sot certain whether he was eonaoioas or wandering. At S s on Thursday evening the patient manifested extreme weakness, and death teemed imminent. Suddenly the Emperor rallied and -asked for Count Von Moltke and Prince William, with both ot whom be talked about tbe state of the army and tbe Prussian people, entering into minute particulars when sneaking of military matters, to the as. tonisnntent of botli bis listeners. Be then ref erred to Oermany'e alliances with various onntrle and tho possibility ot war. lint during the latter portion o! bis remarks the fan testes of delirfora wen minaled with whereat utterances, Tbtt temporary recovery of

Mitchell soon dropped to a.'oiii punishment, but in the second round was caugot by Bo 111 van's right on bis temple and went down. The third und fourth rounds were like, the preceding oao, Mituholl being knocked down at the oloae of each. It was evldent at this time that Sullivan was Miri'Msed and 'Usgnsted.' TJp to the ninth round 8n;llvan fortMid the fighting and chased Mitchell around the ring, but could rarely get to close vnariers. It bticams evident, however, in tbe sixth round, that Sullivan was suffering for lack of ind. Mitchell was gaining courage and taking advantage of his adversary s condition by occasionally getting in a blow. In tbe eiuhta round he was awarded first blood. During roards fine to fifteen a tearful stonn prevailed, and nearlv all but the principals and tbeb' seconds took shelter in a shed. In one of thess rounds, which lasted twenty.fi ve minutes. Mitchell received several nasty blows, especially on the temple, but Sullivan was evidently tiring. He was shivering, visibly, and his teeth ware chattering from tbedownponr which he had endured. By and by, however, th sun earns out quite warm, and with its appearance Suil ivan seemed to recover. At times be made tremendous rushes, but Mitchell's agility stood him in good stead, and he milled on the retreat most of the time. The rest of tlie fight was tedious. The ground had be. corns soft, which made it bard work far botfc men. Sullivan grow tired of chasing Mlt hell, and would stand in tbe middle cf the ring while MitcboU walked around it, Mitchell seemed little hurt, and showed great generalship and scored the best, but he appeared to be afraid of Sullivan's right,, A draw bad been sngi ested, but was declined, and between 4 and 6 o'clock all got impatient, as tbe finish seemed at least two honrs off, thongh probably favor, able to Mitchell. The latter at last said; Well, let us shake hands or fight on, as John likes.' Herenpon Baldock, who had been very troublesome, rushed in and joined their hands. BuiltTin was nothing loath, and both were tired greatly. Sullivan's body, right eye, and mouth Wer more punished than Mitchell's, whose riglr; eye and temple received the moat damage. Mitchell and Sullivan were arrested after the fight, with the whole party, by French gonciarms. They were taken to Sculls. Hero the rest of the party was dismissed, but Sullivan and Mitchell wen) locked up and held far two days, when they were released and left at once forliondon. Deputations from all the regiment!, sworo alleirianoa to tbe new Emperor, Frederick HI., on Monday, says a Borlin dispstoh. The Crown Prince William took the oath with the Second Regiment of Guards. The Emperor's appearance has caused a shock to too loyal people of, Berlin. Everyone who ho seen him agrees that he ia looking very lmdly. The Emperor has issued the following proclamation: To My People: Tjb Emperor has ended his glorious life. In the much-loved father whom I bewail, whom my royal bonso with mo laments in deepest sorrow, tbe faithful Prussian people have lost tbe-r ranie-crowned kine, the German nation the founder ot its unity, and tbe newly risen empire the first German Emperor. Bis illustrious name will remain inseparably bound up with all the greatness of the German fatborlani, in whose now creation the stre Quota labor of the Prussian people and princes has met with its most splendid reward. While King William railed tho Prussian army to tho heights of its earnest vocation by never-tiring care ; a cation's father, he laid a sure foindation foe tw victoriot, which wore afterward gained by (lermati arms under his leadership, and out of which sprang national unity. He thereby Eocurod to the empire a portion of power such as up to that time every German hetrt had yoarnedfor but had scarcely dared to hope for, and that which he won for- his peoplo in honorable death-dealing fight ho was destined to strengthen and beneficially increase by tbe long and peaceful toil of bis laborious years of government. Safely resting upon her own strength, Germany stands forth esteemed in the council of nations, and desires only to en joy in peaceful progress that wnlcn she has won. That this is so ws have to thank Emperor William. In his never-wavering devotion to duty and his indefatigable activity consecrated to the welfare of tl-e fatherland, he was supported by bis reliance upon tbe self-sacriSoing devotion of wbieh the I'russian people bad given unvarying proofs and In whioh all the German races shared. All the rights and duties whioh ore connected tfttb the crc-wn and my house, and for the time that, according to God's will, maybe allotted to me to rale, I am resolved to faithfully preserve wi'inthe name now passed to me. Imbued wi'th tho greatness of my mission I shall make it my whole endeavor to continue the fabrfo in the spirit in whioh it was founded to make Germany the center of peace and to foster her welfare. To my faithful popl. who hnve stood by my house throughout the history of the whole century in sood as in evil days, I offer my unbounded confidence, for I am convinced that on tbe basis of tho unbreakable bond between the sovereign and the eople, which, independently of every change iuthe lite of the state, forms the unalterable inheritor ee of the house of Hohenrallern, my crown rests henceforward as securely as it does upon tbe devotion of the country to the government ot whioh I am now called and of whioh I solemnly promise to be a faithful king, both in happiness and in sorrow. May God uraut mo. His blessing and strengthen mo to carry out this work, to which my life shall henceforth be devoted. iaiSDKIUOK. Bemuor, March 1 1888..

A Chicago special of Friday Bays: The fight between the Chicago, Barluigton and Quincy Railroad and its striking engineers and firemen has been changed from tho lines cf the road and tho stry-ors' headquarters at the Grand Paciflo to tho United States Court, yesterday a big petition wss filed in the United States Cireuit Court by Mr. Wirt -Dexter, chief counsel for tho railrouL .It set forth the history of the strike, with tho grievances of the road, and wonnd up by praying .n injunction against Chief Arthtu and (he Engineers' Brotherhood, as well as an order on the Wabash Road compelling it to handle Burlington freight in discharge of its duty as n common carrier. The order issued by'tho court covers the ground of the bill and shows the specific matters prayed for therein," A Chicago dispatch of Monday says: Tho indications aro that tbe Burlington strike is nearing an end, and rumors are current that the strikers are anxious to return to work. Tho fact that tho Brotherhood is unable to control competing roads has boon disastrous. The road is handling its business satisfactorily, though complaint comes froni low Commissioners that incompetent men are being employed The twelve railroads terminating at East St Louis stopped handling freight for the Burlington, on demand of tho engineers, firemen, and brtkemen in their employ.

CbAibuam ANoFELtow-REronLioANS : If there is one tBIng that I am positively sure, of.it ts that tbo pontics' outlook of the Republican party has been speaking for itself here to-night, I am sure t hat whaMMts been .said indicates that it is exactly tUSTS08lte of that outlook of whioh we i.ro told in the story which runs to the effeot that when a good wife, in the middle of the night, insisted that her husband should go to tho window and mako observations as to the weather, ar.d he, anxious to please her, undertook to do so, bub in his bewilder, ment, and In the darkness, mistook for tbe window the pantry that stood near it, and opened the door and stuck bis head into it, and then mitde report that the "outlook was as darl: as Hades and smelled like fish." In other words, our ouilook is not dark, neither has it on offensive smell. It is true there may bo found here and there a trace of 'coal oil in the political atmosphere but tt is no roach fainter than it was two or three years ago, that it no longer serves any other than the good purpose of locating and denning the whereabout b of that enemv whom we are oftor. There is no darkness or want of brightness. The rays ot light are beaming and streaming over the political horisou, not coly to cheer and beckon an onward, but to give us unmistakable indications that no matter whet uor our own great leader, as most of us hope, is I o be our standard-bearer in the approaching national contest, or some other leader, we ore ready, from Maine to Oregon, rank and file, as one man, to follow him with vim and vigor to a triuiniihoii t victory. I know there ore some Democrats wto would not subscribe to this. They arguo themselves into tho belief that because their party managed to pull throaxh G rover Cleveland as their candidate in 1881, they ought to lx able to win again in 1883 wito ouyoony, i mustoomess tiiat,iu my judgment at least, these gentlemen are not liable to harsh criticism on this account; for eertoinly no political party evuv owed leas to a candidate for a victory won thiji the Democracy owe to Grover Cleveland for their success In 18St, One of the sinus of tbe times is that the leaders of that organisation realize and appreciate that zact. ana nonce tt is tuac tney ore now mamfestine a diancaition - with resneut to the im pending struggle to lepond not upon the man but upon the party ; and this seems to be more agreeable to Gov. Hill than to Mr. Cleveland. For at last it seems to be dawning inoredible as that may appear on even bit intellect, that he is likely to have t. more difficult job of holding down the presidential ohoir in which he Bits than he did in holding down that log in the Adirondack Mountains on which he sat while fishing on Decoration Day. I hope that no one will think that I am trying to say anything unkind about His xoeUinoy the President. On the oontrary. I want to be understood as in full accord witJi tho Republicans all over this country in the belief and feeling that we owe him a debt ot gratitude on two accounts at least. One is that he has relieved us of that class of dudish theorists, of whioh JauiositunsoU Lowell is the nerfucu tvne. and the other is that he has made ns by cm treat appreciate Abrohun Lincoln. But however all tills may be, the truth is, and tnat is wnat l want to call your attention to, that in the last oaitest the Democratic party were successful not because of, but in spit of, their candidate, anc. in suite also of themselves. and yet agaiu, strange as it may appear in such n view, in snite of tho fact that there was ab Bolutely no look of merit on tho pert of either ineuepuiMiean party or teat magnmceat icauor who was our stondiird bearer in that contest. In short, there was nothing in the character or tho record of either tho Democrat!.) party or their candidate that was calculated to inspire either confidence or enthusiasm. They went before tho peoplo ot the country, not making on issue, out proclaiming mere was none, awy uffected to have accepted the fruits and results of tho war, and pledged themselves, as it has been said here to-night, that they would uphold and enlbrce the sreat canstttutioiial amend-ment-Sn. They promised that they would not disturb the tariff or in any manner interfere with our financial or re venue systems. Thoy everywhere promised to continue on in the good wava established hi- the Renublican narty. In ot her words, they openly professed to have no principles whatever, except only onrs by adoption. No one pretended in that canvass to criticise s single one cfthe great measures of national importance t lint hod been adopted by the Republican party while in power; neither hod any one. not even the Democrats themselves, the hardihood toat tempt to defend any part of tho long lino of grave mistakes and grievous errors which they had committed during the . last quarter of a century. And yet they wo a I And why? One man says U was the "Burchard business ;" another eays it was because they had a rainy election dny In the State of New York; another says it was the "banker's dinner j" and others attribute our defeat to the disaffection of the Mugwumps and Stalwarts. No doubt all these matters played their several porta, but laruth and justice require tbe statement thatgrcatur thou all those combine! was tbe difficult y ugaiust which we had to contend on account ot the fact that tbe idea got into the minds oi the people that, inosmucn as toe litqnocrats were promising au inese tilings, it would be well enoush to have a change, sa counted, and the people bo assured that, after all, everything watiexactlyrightandasit should be. Every man who talked on the stump in that contest will never forget bow, in the presence of this idea, it was vidn to recall the patriotic recollections which we aro cherishing here tonight. It was telle' to talk about Lincoln or any of our illustrious ieotViM. The story of their great deeds, if toI at all, fell upon ears that were deaf, - It wss vain to talk about a free ballot and a fair count, the tariff or anything else. The all-sufficient answer,4ver ready to be given, was that tbe time had come for a chango, and therefore it was that by means of a solid South andamiseiabla soratch in the State of NtiwYorkwe got a change. Grovor Cleveland became . Pr-isiaet t, and we have beon given three yean of Democratic administration, through which we have been drift ing until wo have como to the threshold of an other great national struggle, from which I be lieve wo are to emerge, as I said a moment ago, crowned with a triumphant victory. In saviiur what I have abont the last contest. 1 haveejready indicated why that should be so; for I have been endeavoring to shove that in our last contest our opponents enjoyed exceptional advantages, and that wo labored under corresponding disadvantages. Tbe Democrats had been out of pernor for twenty-four years. In con6fiueuoe the people woro not fully acquainted with them, and therein was their strength. A whole generation ot voters bad coiuo upon rue siage ox action wno uau no personal recollection uf how they had mal-adminis-tered our nublio aO'uirs before tho war. But now all that is ohonged. They have been on trial ; not ve-ry long, but long enought to demon strate mat tnere was no occasion lor a cmtnge when it was mads. By their inability, as dwelt uon bv Senator Sherman, to nrovide against the occuroulatif ns of a surplus revenue have they demonstrated that thoy are still afflicted with that. Biune llicurablo want of business cs)iaeity that so distinguished lbem before the war. By deolaring m favor of free trade thov havo broken their nliahtei faith and brought u fuce to face with the question whether ws think more of this country than of jui(,du w mir must, we muss answer wie-u vour votes whether we intend to nroteot and elefvale American le.bor, and stand by tbo developmeuv ui unr great svBnrm or uiversiuea inaustrial nursuits. Bythemostreokless and relentless applica tion oi toe doctrines mat -to tue victors oolong the snoila" that has over been known in historv. they havo bronjht reproach upon the cause of civil service reform and havo driven in disgust from their ran as every true friond of such a measure. By heartless veto measageo, upheld and defended by the whole party, they have proven ineir luauility to appreelat i the services and sacrifleeB, tbo heroism and valor of the men who saved our national life. By honoring such men as old Jas e Thompson and by attempting to return to the eo-ca'loi (Jonfederata States the captured rebel flags, and by placing on the bench oi the' Supremo Court uf the ITnit.-d States tlie most distinguished representative that could bo found in the whole oou.trv of practical nullillcaiou of tho Constitution,' (boy havo uouoriaKen to efface the dlstiue.ion betn-ron . tho men w ho I mgbt for aud those who funght ! ogains our Gov. rnmput. By acts of this char-1 actor thoy have touched and aroused tho bi si. 1 ness interests and patr.otlc sentiments of the country as tl'oy' have not b-.ea touched or arouied since ttiewar. 'ini cmat-quoue-o is just what you see her., to-night, and what Senator Sherman has f'!d us bo saw at Boston and Providunae. and every whero he has beon, It is only February. We ore vet ju midwinter.

the people of this conntry saw, as a result ot that election, St they bad never before seen, that the exorcise of the right of suffrage ia the Stat ot Mississippi or any other State of tbe union is inu common concern or tne wntue peuis 111 iio oi an ens ovner ntaies. Aney men saw sous alt. as never before, that when a man denrives his fellow-oi ;iieu of his ballot, he is committing a crime against all his fellow-men and also a crime against free, popular govern. ment. Tbs conseonenoe was tbat the the people were aroused to their duty, and they rssoived then and there that there should never attain be in this country a "shot-gun" President. Theolnbs fallowed, andtbey will continue ts multiply untu tuis quostion nan noon setueo. Whatever others may think, I shall always be. lieve tbat If Mr. Blaine bad mado bis August sneech on week before. Instead of a week after the election, he would have been victoriously chosen. I mention all this, more particularly because I have seen running around through sne newspapers, aurtng tne last rew uys, an editorial tt at comes from a most highly respectable authority, and one for whom we alt have the hinhest reeareL to the effect that in ths coming cos test this question ot a free ballot and a lair count must ne reiegatea to tne reer. lies me say to yon, tbat if the Republican party relegates this question to the rear', it will march again to defeat. Audit will boa just and deserved defeat. It wilt be visited upon us as God's pittjebment for polftieal infidelity and party oownrdlco. I know this questiou will not be relegated to the rear. It is because I knew it will net be relegated to tbe rear, that I know ther Is a triumph In store for us at the end of tbo canvaas upon whioh we are entering. It is well enoufib, however, to have it under stood at the outset that this whining and sneering about 'sectionalism" and the "bloody shirt" can no longer terrify any man who is worthy to be a Repu blican. One reason why I admire John Sherman it that he has always stood and spoken fearlessly for the purity of ths ballot. The Republican party must stand fc- this einestlon. It involves more of morality and patriotism than any other question before tho American people. It goes before the que itlon of a tariff. Bverythiqgeless comes after it ' We bolii. these views, in no spirit of hostility toward anybody. God knows no one ts watnting to stir up preiudice or anlmo.lty or any kind of bltternese between ths sections of this country. Nobody levee the people of the South more than the mem who compose the Republican party : but, in -ths name of Truth and Justice, in behalf of that sestlon, as well as our own, wo propose to stand by the Republicans of that section that they may enjoy tbe Constitution as it is, with all its amendments, and, hence, we shall go Into tliis eontostwitb th declaration Inwjribed upon our bann irs, "A free ballot and a fair count for every mits, wherovel the American flag may iloatT' If there is anybody In all this land who does not want to subscribe to tbat doctrine, I give blm notice now that he, and not the doctrine, will be "regulated to tho rear." There will be no trouble in getting attention to these questions in the next campaign, for the people are demand! eg, not only their discussion, but their satisfactory settlement. ' It has been the Inspiration of the Republican parly in tbe past that it has ever stood lor morality, patriotism, and equality of right. We must continue to stand for them in the future. We must not fear critioism. There were mon who continually cried out against Lincoln as he went forward is his great work. They orled oat against him and his policy, and carried his State against him in 1802; and, as lie was opposed, because of his great measures, so man and parties who represent great Ideas are ever exciting, and must ever expect, op poiftion. Lot ns. therefore, fearlessly and without apology, continue to stand for that which is light, for Truth and Justico and Equity. It is because the Republicans of this land are arousing as te this issus that we are having this magnificent demonstration here to-night, and other such demonstrations from one end of the country to the other. If we are but true to this spirit, as I know we shall be, we shall go forward to a victory that will make the year 1888 as memori.ble in our political annals as the Whigs made tlia year 1840. Adsum.The passage we quote below we have alwayn deemed, since we first read it, one oi tho most affecting in the whole range of English literature. It was with e, sense of pleasure we found VAuiond Yates quoting it in a late FotU nightly Review as bis favorite pas3ac;e in pre se. It is from "The Newcomea," last chapter: "So weeks passed away, daring whioh our d;ar old friend still remained with us. Ilia mind was gone at interval--, . but would rally!' feebly; And with his consciousness returned bis love, his simplicity, his sweetness. He would talk Frenoh with Madam de Florae, at wl'ich time his memory appeared to awaken with surprised vividness, bis cheol.s flashed, and he was young again, a youth oil love and hope, a stricl'on old man, with a beard as white as snow covering the noble careworn face. At such times he called her by her Christian Dame of Leonore; he addressed oourtly old words of regard aud kindness to the old lady; shon he wnndered in his talk, and spok 3 to Uor aa if they weM young. Now, as in those early days, his heart wag pure; no anger remained in it; no guilit tainted it; only peace and good will dwelt, in it." ... "She went into the room, where Olivs was at the bed's foot; the old man within it talked on rapidly for awhile; then agaia he would sigh and bo s'iill; once more I heard him say hurriedly, Take oare of him when I'm in India,' and then with a heartrending voici he icalled ont, 'Leonore I Leonore !' She was kneeling by his side now. The patient's voice sank into fain'; murmurs : only a moan now and theft announced that he was not asleep. "At the usual i. evening hour the clioiiel began to toll, and Thomas Newcome's hands outside the bed feebly beal. a tune. And just as the last bell struck, a peonliar sweet smile shone over his faee and he lifted up his head a lit tle and quickly said "Adsum!" and fell back. It was the word we used at school, when names were called, and lo, 'hci whose heart was as that'of a little child, bad answered to his name, and stood in the presence ot the Mas ter." Messrs. Fawcett. James, Howells & Co., may continue to pronounce Thackeray a rathor ordinary novelist ad libi tum, but we should be delighted to nnd one single passage in all their comtuned great modem novels, that can justly bo compared to the above. St, Rough on William Henry. We went to the house of a western Kansas settler, near where we camped ono night, and had scarcely got in when he said: "You fellows been down along the railroad lately?" "Yes." "Heard anything 'bout any circus comin' this way?" "Now, you jes' hold on, William Henry," broke in his wife; "if I'd skun up the oonter-polo when the elephant snorted at the last circus that was here I wouldn't say nothin' 'bout it no more " "Who olum the center-pole?" "You did, William Henry, when tbe elephant breathed hard. "Well, s'posen 1 did I didn't know nothin' 'bout elephants I don't take no ohnnoes on strange varmints. Any how, I eli ln't let no candy peddler befit mo making change, nor buy no little i.i l loons to shrink up on my hands. " out you slnnnod up the pole!" "Aud you took a quarter an' a short bis for 15 cents!" "You got scart of an elephant I" "You lot a little boy not more'n thirteen beat yon !" You was a coward !" "You was a dura fool !" Then wo told them the circus season wns over anyhow, und there was peace again. ( 7 icaijo Tribune.

The object for which they wet-e built is certain. ' There is no need here to examine curious speculations to which their measures nave, like the numbers of Manet he's List, scorned to offer themselves with a strange facility, like false lights that lead the trnTu.lei into tho quickaanila. They were tombs, and nothing more. We need not draw, any idea of astronomical use for t'aeu facing the cardinal points, wherea the Chaldean pjTamids pointed to thtan nor, in the case of tho Great Irataid, from the ourious oirenmstance that at the time Of its building its entrance passage pointed to the the pulestiira 2raeat nor from the excellent platform for astrontirniof'l observs.tions on its summit nor from its chief measures being in exact Egyptinn crbits without irnctions. There may have been a religious reason for the orie station of this and the other Egyptian pyramids, but it is quite obvious tshat a 'deviation of direction would have produced a disagreeable discord in the placing of thetie geometrically shaped buildings. It Tfa's no use topon passage to the pole star, as it bud to be closed , at the eompletioi of the structure after tho king's t-epullure. The platform did not exist when the casting of the monument was complete to its apex. Tho most famcus buddings of antiquity were constructed oi full measures without fraot ons in all their ehief dimension What, perhaps, originated in the difficulty of observing due proportion when fiaofcons Here allowed became a matter of religion. The pyramids were tombs of kings. Each had its name. The Oiuat Pyramid was called "the Splendid;" the second pyramid, strangely enough, "the Great;" the third pyramid, "the Superior.'" Each, must have been the chief objeot of i king's reign, liegun at, or in some cases before, bis uocession, it was built on a plan whioh allowed constant addition and speedy completion. Thus, tho pyramids are the measures of the reigns of thoso who built them, and happily in K.any cases we know from the tombs around whom these real builders were. The main principles of the Egyptian tomb of this age are tbe same in tbe pyramids and in the smaller built tombs, though the mode in which the principles are carried out are different. These smaller tombs consist of a quadrangular mass of masonry, like an oblong truncated pyramid, having a pit entered from above descending to a sepulchral chamber cut in the rock beneath; and within is alsc a chape entered from nn external door, and a secret oliamber to contain statues ol the deceased. Tho pyramids represent the purely sepulchral part of these structures. In front of the entrance of each was a chapel, to which was attached a secret chamber. Good and Bait Li it to Boys.
