Here, for example, is a passage from a prayer to be found in the ritnal for the “I know yon, Lord of troth and justice) I have brought you truth, I have committed no fraud against men, I have not tormented the widow, I have not lied in the tribunal, I have not done any prohibited thing, I have not commanded my workmen to do more than ho could do, I have not made fojßidulent gains, I have not altered the grain measure, or falsified the equilibrium of the balance, I have not made others weep, I am pure.” Another man thus cries: “I have given bread to him who was hungry, water to the thirsty, garments to the naked, and a home to the torggken one.” Still another cries: * “I have protected the poor against the powerful, I have given hospitality to every one, I have been benevolent and devout, I have cherished my friends, and my hand has been open to him who had nothing.

WHAT LUCKI Thnnoiuenal Enrapn from Death by a Colorado Mining Hom. , After nearly a con turfs sleep some i four years ago the town of San Filipe, in the State of Guanajuato, Mexico, waked up with a mining boom. The | long abandoned shafts, up whoso rough hewn steps tho peons of the 1 alcades tolled laboriously, bearing leathern bags of ore, were pumped ’ out and equipped with modern tna- ' chlnery. Old veins bled wealth anew and even discarded tailings were re- ' worked, yielding a heavy percentage of profit. There was a tremendous 1 Influx of population. White men and yellow Chinamen thronged Into , the adobe town and rubbed shoulders with the listless Mexicans, who had been eating their tortillas so many years in peace and quiet, save flvhcn a surplus of pulque was let loose and ; the deadly machetas paved the way ■ for a few extra funerals. > Os course, the gamblers, the , hangers-on and the pointed women 1 followed the miners, and the sleepy 1 old town waked up at night and furnished high revel for the invaders. Plug hats and “bilcd" shirts were exceptional; overalls, top liootH, with ■ a large caliber Colt, as plated orna- ’ ment, furnished the custume de rigueur. Mexicans carried knives In I their hair and tried to keep up with the procession by consuming fiery “mescal" whenever their slender pay > would allow it, and the female mem- ' bers of their families skirmished for 1 the supply of red peppers and brill--1 iant calicoes, necessary for the pur- : pose of food and fashion. One evening Tole, the big mining I boss, was attracted by a noisy crowd r clustered about the monte table. He • noticed two viliianous Mexicans hold--1 Inga "jawing match" with his interpreter, Eduardo, and immediately concluded thafc his favorite was doomed to death one way or another. J The talk had evidently reached a climax, for both greasers whipped out i their long knives. Tole, who had • i drawn his revolver anticipating i i trouble, fired at the first Mexican. 1 There was a yell and a wild rush. ’ The crowd at the table joined the ’ melee, the lights were blown out and ’ a wild fight followed. i The next thing that Tole heard ; was that another Mexican had been l gathered to the halls of Montezuma. He went home and tried to rest, but the thought of the dead man weighed • heavily on Ills conscience. He moaned and in his sleep, and was up early in the morning. During the following months poor Tole was in t constant fear of arrest, but could - learn nothing of the murdered man ; or the one who escaped. The facts of the case had been purposely sup- • pressed. One morning he met the Jnter- > preter, Eduardo, who had left town the day after the trouble. “Buenos ’ Dias, that was ouite a racket,” said ( the interpreter, nonchalantly. [ “I did not mean to kill the man,” > said Tole, wearily, “but I thought thev were going to end you.” “Nonsense," responded Eduardo, “they were quarreling about their own as1 fairs. You did not kill any one; J your bullet struck one of the Greasers . in the heel and started them on the , run, but the last one put his machete through the other man’s heart just as he was climbiqg over the walk You want to practice with that 9 new ' gun of yours.” The shot saved the other Mexican’s ■ life, for by showing his wound he imi pressed the jury that he fired in self--1 defense, which made him a life saver instead of a murderer in the eye of the lenient but slow-going Mexican 1 law. , This same Tole had a remarkable adventure in Gold Hill. Nevada, in 1877. He had charge of a mine and ’ incurred the enmity of the laborers. One night three stalwart “walking delegates” attacked him in a bar ; room. Two of them pinned, him i down, while a third stood over’ him ’ with a revolver, the muzzle almost touched his stomach. Once, twice, ’ thrice, a fourth and a fifth time the ’ weapon snapped. Tole closed his eVes; each moment he expected to be , his last. The disgusted ruffian threw • his disappointing weapon on the floor • with an oath, and, joined by his aids, left the place. 1 Tole wiped the cold sweat from his brow, mechanically picked up the , discarded weapon, went to the door ■ and fired off every charge, remarking I that it was “just his luck!” I J •■ ■ — . - ' - .'.4 - " ’ Repressing Chattel Mortgage Sharks. Some Boston business-men have recently completed a five .rears’ experiment of interest to every large city. j, They united to suppress the chattel mortgage sharks. They formed a company, or association, to loan money to the classes who usually tall victims to the sharks. At the time the business men entered the field these leaders were charging the borrowers on chattel mortgages from 3 to 10 per cent per month. The association adopted a uniform rate of 1 per cent per month. It required i that with every payment of interest | the borrower m ast make a small pay-1 ment—about five per cent.—on the I principal. Since it has been doing business the association has loaned 1 over $500,000 on chattel mortgages. Fourteen hundred and ninety borrowers have been accommodated. ; Louns have been repaid very fast i averaging about eighteen months. : The usual experience with the sh;u± , is that of becoming deeper and deeper in debt. Last year the association paid a six per cent, dividend. The object is not to make money, however. It is to earn a fair pay on the investment, and to takeaway the occupation of the shark. Robert Treat Paine is the president of the association.—Boston Herald. „■< Crossings at Grade. “The grade crossing must go.” is what the Chicago papers print in italics. Recently one of these papers published the names of f lic people n udown and killed by steam cars at; erasings within the city. These i were. accidents entirely distinct from I tho«c which occur on the cable and ' horse car toads. The list tilled three columns. It showed that within Chicago’s limits during the’ past eighteen months a life a day has been ground out by the steam cars at the street crossing. The thought' is appalling.

Hie Company. ; During one of the battles in which 11 the French were engaged In 1812 : I Colonel Koblllnskl, an Aide-de-camp ;! of Marshal Davousr,, was severely l wounded. The hospital wagons had . ! been left in the rear, and the Mar- < shal gave him In care of a company ■ ' of grenadiers, te ling them to guard i him, and take him on a litter to i Wllna, the nearest town, where he i could be cared for properly. It was a i toilsome journey over a snow-covered i • wilderness, but the little band [ pressed forward, seeking to conce’l r ■ from their wounded charge the teri rible evidences of ruin about them. 1 | Several times they were aStocked r by bands of Cossacks, and fought I trielr way through. In an enemy’s > country, insufficiently clothed, scani i tily fed, and delayed by their helpless r burden, one recollection sustained - them: a Marshal of France had said, “I confide Koblllnskl to your honor; . you will restore him to me." i After several weeks of this severe ■ travel a storm camo on, and all but > five of the little company perished, i The survivors were hall’ stupefied; i but their charge still lived, and they r lifted his litter and moved steadfastly r ; forwaid. ■ I Toward evening they came in sight rjof Wllna. The revulsion of feeling .! was too violent, and two of the men .idled before the city limits were I reached. Two others tottered on for r a short distance, and then only I Jacques Dufour was left with the > 1 wounded man. .1- He looked at the litter in despair. . i Then, conscious of his inability to t lift it, he clutched his fingers into ; tho canvas and dragged it after hijn, calling loudly for help. His cries i. were heard by a sentinel, and in a 1 j few minutes he was in the presence I 1 of Marshal Davoust. r; “Where is Colonel Kobilinski?" . ; asked the Marshal. ! “He is here, monsieur." > ■ "And the company?” I “Present, mon Marechai.” “I asked forlhe company?" I “I have answered. Present” i “But your comrades?" “Buried, monsieur, in the snow.” i The Maiwhal did not speak, but he [ 1 opened his arms, and Jacques Hung [ ; himself into them, lie was repaid, ; i amply repaid, he thought for weeks >i of cruel suffering. But promotion II and a red ribbon were bestowed upon [ i him before Koblllnskl succumbed to H his wounds and died. Turns Itself Inside Out. It is on record that a tiny animal, which is common in English pond-, where it is found attached to ducki weed, can perform the very acrobatic [ ■ feat of turning itself inside out. The animal is merely a cylindrical stom- .! ach with a mouth at the top, sur- ■ 1 rounded bj’ a number of long tentai cles, from which its name of hydra , has arisen. If the mouth of a hydra be stretched too much by food which • it has attempted to swallow, it turns ;. itself out, thus gets rid of the un- > pleasant morsel and then regains its » former condition. At one time it • was believed that if one of these animals was turned inside out. it re- • mained in that state and performed all the functions of life. Later re- . searches have shown, however, that . • when turned inside out the animal . I immediately strives to regain its . j normal condition, and dies if pre- -! vented from so doing. Another ex- , traordinary gift of tire hydra is its j power of reparation of injuries and , i reproduction of new individuals out i! of portions into which it has been [! accidentally or naturally divided. If ■ a tentacle be cut off an entire animal •I is formed out of it. If the body is 11 cut in half it will join together again i I should the parts he placed together, | and if not, two individuals will re- , 1 suit. And should parts of one indi--1 vidual be placed on the cut surface of , | another thev will grow together.— j' Brooklyn Eagle. *Steel Ruttons. .!

CHEATING A CHINAMAN. How One Weetern l-andlord Hal Cured of the Practice. Justice in the Far West sometimes takes new and startling shapes. Jem Blank, a ranchman, who died last summer leaving a largo amount of money to found a hospital in one of the cities on Puget Sound, was accustomed, it is said, when he saw a scoundrel going unwhipped of Justice promptly to constitute himself Jury, Judge, and executioner. One day Jem, with a friend, was in the office" of a hotel In Portland, Oregon, where they bad been boarding forseveral weeks The landlord was reckoning with a Chinese cook, who was leaving his service to return honia “Twenty weeks at $lO a week makes S2OO, eh? That’s so. I owe yo« that” “All light!” said the smilling Hop Lee, holding out his hand. “But stop a little. I have a bill against you, Hop. The day you were late with the breakfast—that’s sls agen you. The evening Judge Smith said the chops were burned makes $lO more; the times you didn’t make griddle cakes when I wanted them. $5 each,” and so on, while the old Chinaman, his face gray and his mouth open, stood in dumb despair before him. “I owe you.” said the landlord, chuckling, exactly $2. There they are. Good-by, Hop!” There seemed to be no peaceful method of redre.ss for poor Hop. Hi slunk out of sight, having no frienc to advise him. A little later in the Jem and his partner announced that they were going back to their ranch, and called upon the landlord for their bill. It was handed them. Jem glanced over it “One. hundred dollars each? Correct, I believe. But we have a little bill agen you, Bob. There was the night wc couldn’t sleep for the handorzan in the bar. We want S2O each for the loss of that sleep. There’s the rancid butter: live a week apiece for not pitch:n’ it out of the window. Let me see that is not all; there’s the wear on our teeth Vecause of your tough beef. Yes, that makes twentyfive more. Then it was worlffi $75 each for listenin’ to your old jokes, and it’s lettin’ you off cheap,” etc. By this process Jem brought the landlord S2O in their debt, but laughingly offered to come the next winter and board it out. Bob also laughed, but protested, and at last very angry. Jem looked at him quietly, «tben counted out the money. “Find Hop,” he said, coolly, handing the amount to his friend. "Give this to nim, that he may know there is such a thing as an honest American. I’ll settle with this man.” The manner of his settling “with this man” is a favorite tale in the town to this day. It is certain, however, that the landlord was reformed by Jem’s rude justice. He was never known to cheat a Chinaman again.— Youth’s Companion. Escaping Torture. During Gen. Custer’s attacks on Black Kettle's camp during one oi the United States’. Indian wars, some of the pri oners, taking advantage of the thick brush, broke through the line of troops, and escaped to the prairie. Major Elliot, calling some of his men to follow, dashed off in persuit of the fugitives. Not one of the nineteen cavalrymen was ever again seen by a white man. Intent on his purpose, and not suspecting the vicinity of other camps Major Elliott found his little party surrounded by an overwhelming horde of Indians. D amounting, loosing their horses and forming in a ciicle, the little band of twenty brave men prepared to sell their lives as dearly as possible. In less than twenty minutes every man but one was dead. > Wounded in several places, his aminunnition expanded, Sergeants' Major Kennedy stood alone, saber in hand. No'shbt was fired at him, no effort was made to kill him, but several ot the Indians approached' him with hands thrust out, saying: “How? How?” Too well he knew the meaning ol this kindly demonstration. He was to be reserved for all the horrors ol the torture. He saw that his only hope of escaping torture was in so exasperating the Indians that they would kill him. Seeming to surrender, he advanced towards the chief. They approached each other, hands extended Quick as thought Kennedy’s sword passed through the chief’s body. One instant of terrified surprise on the part of the Indians: the next, twenty bullet holes in Kennedy’s body. The merciful death had come to him. Her Promise to Victor Hugo. A few weeks ago an old negress came from Bridgetown, on the island of Barbadoes, to a missionary and .asked him to read three masses foi Victor Hugo. The missionary was astonished, and at first believed that he had misunderstood the visitor. But the negress replied to his questions that years ago she had given aid to Hugo’s daughter, who had married an English officer against the will of her father, and had tied with him to Barlradoes. The officer deserted his wife, who consequently became almost insane. and was cared for i<i that condition by the negress. The negre-s wrote to the poet of the sad condition of his child. Hugo sent her 2.(100 francs and had her gc to Paris with his daughter. After remaining a time in the houso of the author tlie negress decided to return to Barbadoes. ’ One reason for this was the fact that poor daughter had become incurtfnlv insane and been consigned to an asylum. The poet, who respected the’hegross because of the love she had borne his daughter, said to her before her departure from Paris: "When you hear of my death iu your native country have three masses read for me." The old woman, who first heard of Ihedeathot Victor Hugo a few months ago, has nowgfulfilled the wishes of the '-poet.—Nash- , ville American. Shakespeare never billed his plays,.

Sustaining the Unities. “I notice that you are not so attentive to Miss Caramel, as formerly,” said an Austin youth to his companion; “have the chilly autumnal winds congealed your heart?” “O, no,” replied the companion, that’s not it; my heart is warm enough. You see Miss Caramel Is a good summer girl.” S "A good summer girl!” “Yes, she’ll do through the hot weather, when it only costs 20 cents for ice-cream for two; but her father is poor, you know. Now, that the oyster season has arrived, and it costs from a dollar to a dollar and six bits for Berwick Bay oysters, why, it is much more comforting to feed Miss Stonaway.

A young woman of this city, whose quick wit is responsible for the loss of a number of friends, has just seen another retire from the list. The young man was in a philosophical mood and remarked: “Self-study is a bad thing.” ‘.‘l shouldn’t be surprised,” . she responded flippantly. “Now, I am sure that if I were to devote myself to thinking about myself I should become very narrow-minded.” “Oh, yes; you’d probably have to in order to grasp the subject.” And for the time he really felt as small as she had pictured him.—Washington Star. Parisian Fools. The superchic young men in Paris (according to an imaginative correspondent,) not content with mere boot lasts, have plaster casts made of their legs from the waist down, with the object of keeping both their trousers, their knee-breeches, and even their underwear in proper shape. One youth, with more money than brains, has an entire room of his residence devoted to the reception of some sixty pairs of plaster-of-Paris counterparts of his legs, and nothing is more peculiar than the spectacle presented by this army of fully clothed limbs standing about without any trunk and head. Is This So? There is a large factory in a small town near Chicago, employing about 100 workers, which is given over to the manufacture of articles from waste animal blood. At certain seasons of the year this uniqe factory uses quite 10.000 gallons of fresh blood per day. It is first converted into thin sheets by evaporation and certain chemical processes, and afterwards- worked u© into a variety of such as combs, buttons, ear-rings, belt-clasps, bracelets, etc; Tons of these articles are sent to all parts of the world every year. T Use of Tobacco tay Southern Women. One hears much of snuff dipping among Southern women, but the practice is falling into desirable desuetude. The usual mode is to chew the end of a stick into a brush, and with that- io rub powdered tobacco on the teeth. But while “dipping” is disappearing, smoking is a general practice among women of all ages and colors, and it rather shocks the Northern traveler in the “moonshine” country to see a rosy mountain Venus going about her housework with a corncob pipe stuck between her teeth.

I'l-rhaps an Echo. About the time of the American revolution the French commander, Do La Motte-Piquet, met, as he left Quiberon Bay, two American vessels which saluted him. He replied, according to ministerial instructions, with nine salutes of cannon, an honor to which the ships of the American Republic were entitled. The English Embassador immediately asked an explanation of the French Minister, De Vergennes. De Vergennes replied, good-naturedly and as if he had hardly given the matter a thought: "Perhaps it was the echo of the salute that you gave to a Corsican war-ship when the King, my master, regarded Corsica as a rebel, as your ruler very well knew.” Appropriate. At a dinner given to Turner, the painter, who was an inveterate cockney. the talk turned upon one of his drawings of South Coast Scenery —a view of a distant river, with a greyhound at full speed after a hare in the foreground.
