GOOD BY-

We say it for an hour or for rears We say it smiling, saj It choked with tears We say it coldly, say It with a kiss And yet we have no other word than this— "Good by."

We have no dearer word for our heart's friend, For him who journeys to the world's far end And scars our soul with going, thus we say, AS unto him who steps but o'er the way— "Good bye."

Alike to those we love and those we hate. We say no more at parting. At life's gate. To him who passes out beyond earth's sight. We cry, as to the wanderer for a night— "Good By." —[Grace Denlo Litchfield.

THE PHILANTHROPIST.

I Translated for the Globe-Democrat Nearly everybody in Naples knew the condescending and benevolent old duke, San Diodata, and nearly everybody loved him.

IIow nimbly he tripped through the Chiaja, his little feet incased in patent leather boots that creaked and cracked under the weight of his embonpoint, his hat in his hand, his red face shining from the heat and,from the unusual walk. He found it difficult to return all the bows which were showered upon -him.

It was getting dark the people of fashion were returning from their promenade on the quay of the Via Carraccioli. Beautiful women, carelessly reclining on the cushions of their carriages, bold military officers, elegant horseback riders, graceful amazons, perfumed dandies—all of them greeted the duke with marked attention. Similarly the merry crowds of common people that were wending their way homewards—every one, from the neat little millinery girl, to the ragged apprentice boy, from the stout wife of the shopkeeper to the half naked Btreet urchin, looked at him and recognized him as an old friend.

Every one received the same pleasant and benevolent smile, with this difference, however, that in response to a nod from out of the cushions of a carriage, the duke condescended to bow, while on other occasions be considered a familiar nod, a motion of his hand, a wink of his small add sparkling eyes as sufficient.

The duke was in an unusual hurry. A magnificent dinner was to take place that evening at Irisio'e, in which all the political and social dignitaries of the city were to participate. It was almost necessary that the noble philanthropist, the darling of the people of Naples, should be present on that occasion.

His valet, a dress coat decorated with three badges and a low-cut silk waistcoat over his arm, awaited him at home. "Eccellenza, it is high time!"

The duchess, a stately lady of about the age of 50 years, made her appearance on the threshold of the Solottino: "You are late, my dear." lie kissed her hand politely and then asked the valet: I "Any people waiting for me?" "Yes, Signore Ducal Shall I send them away?" "By no means!" "But your toilet, eccellenza "You will Burely be late, mon ami!" the duchess remarked. She preferred to use the French language in the presence of servants. "Was the duke of San Diodato ever known to be late when a good dinner or I the welfare of his Neapolitan friends} were concerned?" Baid the old gentleman laughingly, and turned to the au-dience-room.

But the duchess held him by the arm, the valet withdrawing respectfully. "Cher Muc! The princess of Monteleone's reception is at hand I can not possibly appear in the same robe for the fourth tirae." "You c.m not? Have it changed a triHe, my dear. You have an excellent taste in

Buch

things and alwayB look ele

gant—always beautiful." "Flatterer!" replied the duchess, smiling without affectation. "But this time 1 am at the end of my resources. I must have money!" "The same with me, my child! You can not find a soldo in my pockets. I pave the last I had to a beggar in the Villa Nazionale." "Then only one way is left for me I will have to use a sick headache for a pretext." "Bah! This is a small matter! For what purpose do you keep a dressmaker?" "There are three robes charged on last year's account "That leaves room for a fourth."

Saying this he withdrew to the au-dience-room. A half a dozen people crowded around him. "Signore Duca—my son!" "Eccellenza—per pieta!" "Monsignore—have pity!" "Adagio—adagio, my children!" interrupted the duke kindly, taking a seat ana wiping his bald crown with a silk handkerchief. "Every one in due order. Who was here first?" "1, Signore Duca!"

An old man in a peasant's jacket, legs wound in goat skins, stepped ward in a stooping attitude. "From the country, my dear friend?" "Siseignore, eccellenza!" "What troubles you?" "Ah, eccellenza, Signore Duca! The king has drafted my son, my only son, into the army to send him into Africa, to have him murdered by the Abyssinians!" "Oh!" "Eccellenza, Signore Duca! when my Peppe is gone, 1 muBt starve, poor cripple that I am! I and my three orphaned grandchildren." "That, the king would regret very much!" The corners of the.good old duke's mouth twitched with emotion, but he tried to preserve his dignity, inquiring harshly for the station, age and name of the applicant and zealously jotting them down in his note book. After a little while, he motioned pleasantly with his hand: "Addio, my old friend! You Bhallkeep your son and you shall have a better opinion of our most graGious king in future."

The next in order was a man who had been employed on a railway and who asserted that he had lost his situation without fault on his part. The duke promised to obtain a new situation for him. His word Bulficed to satisfy the man.

The next to approach was a neatlyclad, tall young fellow with a genuine face of the lazzarone. "Is that you, Salvatore?" said the duke, familiarly. "Have you lost your master, again?" "Excellenza! my political convictions have induced me to give warning to my former padrone, this Roman, this Garibaldian "Is that so?" In other words, you have explored your master's pockets again." "No! No! Excellenza!" replied the follow, with the airs of hurt innocence, but the cunning sparkle of his eyes betrayed how flattered he felt at the close

tare of hiB distinguished protector. "I would prefer to become the cameriere of some patriotic Neapolitan gentleman, to whom I could make myself useful during elections without offense to my own convictions. If exoelienza would graciously "What? You rascal! My recommen dation?" exclaimed the duke with ai expression of moral wrath upon his face, but at the same time blinking at him kindly.

"Well! Well!" After a short delibera tion, the duke tore a leaf from his note book and wrote the following on it. "MY DEAR COUNT:—Knowing that you are in need of a circumspect valet, I take the liberty to recommend the bearer of these lines to you as such he is an authority among the Camorrists and a political power among the people of Mercato—otherwise he is a thief of the first quality.

THE DOKE OF SAN DIODATO." The young fellow received the carefully sealed communication with delight and kissed the duke's hand. "Yours in life and in death, Signore Duca! And if you ever wish to make use of me "All right!" interrupted the duke. "Be gone now, and let me know whether the count is satisfied with you."

Then he turned to the young woman who was endeavoring to cover her thin shoulders and the patohes on her dress with a large, unclean black shawl. "What is your desire, my dear wo man?" "Oh, eccellenza, Signore Duca, I am starving, together with my two children who are sick with fever!" Sheprostratecl herself at his feet. "My husband has been sick a long time and cannot find work "Coraggio, coraggio, Poverella!" the duke said compassionately, while he helped her to rise again. "What is your husband's trade?"

The woman confessed that he had learned no trade, but said that he could read and write. "Very well! You send him to me tomorrow. We need a porter in our club. If your husband can fill the situation he shall have it."

The woman was profuse with her thanks. Have you anything to eat for this evening, cara mia?" the duke asked tender!

riy. "How could we, eccellenza—?" The duke passed his hand over his eyes hastily. They were moist. He thought of the

to come. His hands

instinctively grouped in his pockets. Then his glance fell upon the last of the applicants. He was his tailor. "Is that you, Jerrucci? 1 have no small change about me. Give the poor woman five lire!"

He arose and rubbed his hands with satisfaction. After some hesitation, Jerucci pulled out his purse and gave the woman several pieces of silver. "Signore Duca, eccellenza—here are four! I have no more "Good! good! honest Jerucci! That will do for thiB evening will it not, my little woman?" He patted her cheek in a fatherly way. "You shall be cared for to-morrow

And now he was alone with his tailor. "Well, Jerucci?" "Ob, eccellenza, I am in need of money If you would be so kind—the little account of last year

The duke interrupted him impatiently. "But, Jeruoci! Don't occupy my time with such insignificant matters! Don't you see that I have not a moment to lose?" "Eccellenza, my rent is due to-mor-row! My landlord threatens "He does! If the fellow

lest you, I will make it disagreeable for him! You tell him that I, the duke of San Diodato, hold you in high esteem! Do you understand? And now addio, Jerrucci! We will talk about this some other time."

The tailor went—vexation and care had left his heart entirely. There was even a smile of satisfaction on his thin and yellow face.

A large full moon added her rays to those of the innumerable street lights, on the long quay that

Btretches

from

Posillipo to Portici. The fiery eye of Vesuvius, with the dark sea in the back ground, alternately blazed up violently and then glimmered faintly egain.

The establishment of Irisio Brothers lies on the shore of Posillipo, on a rock that reaches some fifty yards into the sea. Here a party of distinguished gentlemen were assembled around a magnificently prepared banquet table. The large dining-hall, with its long balconies hanging above the water, and its walls of glass, was profusely ornamented with flowers.

The sea murmured gently. The crack of champagne bottles was heard now and then. There were toasts in prose and toasts in verse, accompanied by the soft notes of the mandolina. The celebrated cafe singer Arione regaled the company with the sweetest of his songs. Every one was in high glee.-

During the last course the minstrels withdrew to the long balcony, where the coffee and cigarettes were to be served to the guests afterward. The company was to rise from the table amidBt the sounds of the Italian national hymn. Suddenly the duke of San Diodato left the table and the hall.

The head waiter with his dress coat and white necktie, who was superintending the banquet from the distance, like a gentleman, and served nothing with his own hands except perhaps some cigarettes, came to meet him with zealous politeness. "I say, Carlino," whispered the duke "just hand me a 20-franc piece. It is impossible to -arouse enthusiasm with these shabby bank notes. Now you shall see bow I remember my poor friends!"

When he re-entered the hall the noise of the moving chairs was beginning to intermingle with the last notes of the national hymn.

The duke raised his full and dignified voice: "One moment, gentlemen!" De Sbaglio, a talented journalist, and one of the duke's partisans, whose large intellect and small conscience were admired and feared in all Naples, poked his neighbor, Onorevole Ucheri, his friend and rival, in the side and said jeeringly: "Our good old duca is becoming pathetic. I wager that he has Bome roguery in petto."

The journalist placed the "de" before his plebeian Sbaglio because Re Umberto addressed him as De Sbagilo, on a certain occasion, by mistake. Since then he felt as if he belonged to the nobility. "My friends!" said the duke, with emotion, "I saw a poor woman shed tears to-day, the recollection of which burns on my conscience while I am within this gleeful circle surrounded by affluence and luxury. The man who can feast while he beholds his fellow-man starve is a heartless creature! Could I do otherwise, gentlemen, than to promise help to this unfortunate woman, whose husband and children are stricken down by sickness? Knowing your humane sentiments, my dear friends, I take the liberty to beg of you that you assist me

in this charitable act. Allow me to set you an example!" He seized silver platter with a rest of macaroons on it, emptied them on to the table cloth andthen dropped hia gold piece into it noisily. The head waiter, overcome by admiration of this princely munifioenoe, saw from a distance how the platter gradually filled with gold pieoes. None of the distinguished guests would have his generosity appear inferior to that of the othere, De Sbaglio excepted. With the jeering look of a Mephiatopheles that waa peculiar to him, he placed some silver pieces on the platter, and smiled ambiguously. "My duke," he said, "we people of the press are the gypsies among the aristocrats of the mind we have nothing that we can calf our own, and we take what we can get and give what we have."

The duke was deeply moved and shook him by the hand. The journalist made a wry face, and whispered to his neighbor at the left: "He is uncommonly tender and affectionate, our good duca! He must be in an awfully tight pinch!" "I hasten, gentlemen," exclaimed the duca, "to make a needy familyhappy! will return in half an hour. Walter! my carriage!"

The head waiter respectfully opened the door of the antechamber for him, and the duke handed him a gold piece "Eoco! Carlino! Grazie!"

On the following morning the duchess was surprised by the present of anew robe from her husband. The amiable lady thanked him, tenderly kissing him on both cheeks, but she was a great deal too sensible and experienced to inquire whence the blessing had come.

FAB GREATJEB THAN NIAGARA.

The Amazing Story of Montagnals and Naicupee Indiana. Marvelous storise are |related by the few Montagnais and Nascapee Indians who have penetrated far into Labrador respecting a cataract, beneath whose terrific leap Nigara pales into insignificance, says the Boston Herald. But one white man has ever seen these falls, and the Indians' ideas of measurement and distances are so imperfect that, even when their stories agree, it is exceedingly difficult to deduce from them anything like reliable data. An expedition lately undertaken by Handle F. Holme, F. R. G. S., and H. Duff, fellow of All Souls' college, Oxford, to' explore the interior of Labrador and investigate these falls unfortunately failed in its object, the explorers having been misled by erroneous calculations as to distance and the exact location of the cataract and compelled to return in consequence of running short of provisions. They got so near to the object of their expedition, however, that they were enabled, from the general configuration of the country, to form what must be a tolerably correct estimate as to both the location and magnitude of the cataract. This estimate agrees with the description of the grand falls furnished by McLean, who visited them in 1839, and whose further progress into the interior was stopped by them. He gave the width of the river immediately above the falls as 1,500 feet, but says that the cataract itself is not more than one hundred and fifty feet across. The height of the falls he estimates at 2,000 feet. His estimate is indorsed by a half-breed named Kennedy, met by Messrs. Holmes and Duff in the interior, and who was in charge of Fort Nascapee, on Lake Petchikapou. One of the chief difficulties encountered by explorers desirous of reaching the falls is the obstinate refusal of the Labrador Indians to approach them. They believe them to be haunted, and think it 'mpossible to look upon them and live. Kennedy was conducted to them by an old Indian named Louis Over-the-Fire, who, being an Iroquois, did not share the superstitious belief of the Montagnais and Nascapees.

Messrs. Holme and Duff were principally misled by the erroneous statements and calculations as to the distances contained in Professor Hind's "Labrador," the leading authority upon this virtually unknown country. The falls are on the Grand or Petchikapou river, which flows into Hamilton inlet. They are thirty miles above Lake Waminikapau, a body of water which is itself forty miles long, and Bituated 150 miles inland from the mouth of the river. Professor Hind gives this lake as only 100 miles from the mouth of the river, so that the expedition of Messrs. Holme and Duff has brought to light the fact that the best works heretofore published upon this terra incognita contain anything but reliable data. They agree, however, with Professor Hind, that the elevation of the immense tableland which forms the in-' tarior of Labrador is about two thousand two hundred and forty feet. On this hight of land area succession of great lakes, joined together by placid streams, and when these reach the edge of the tableland they commence their wild carreer to the sea. The Moisie and Coldwater rivers descend by successive falls, but toward the southeast the descent from the elevated tableland is quite sudden. This is particularly true* of the Grand river, which has a drop of over two thousand feet in the thirty miles commencing with the falls and ending at Lake Waminikapou. There is a slight rapid below the falls, but none near the lake, and everything goes to show that the height of the grand falls is little, if anything, short of two thousand feet. They are by a great deal the highest falls in existence that are composed of any great volume of W8ter. There are mere mountain torrents that fall from a greater height, and the great fall of the Yosemite valley measures 2,550 feet, but it is broken into three distinct leaps. Niagara, on the other hand, has a height of 164 feet only.

How a Cat Falls.

A cat is not hurt by falling because owing to the power it has of balancing itself when springing from a height it almost invariably lands on its feet. The anatomical structure of a cat's back and spine iB extremely flexible, the muscles of its legs are extraordinarily strong and numerous, and further it has elastic ]ads of cushions consisting of amass of ibrous tissue and fat on all its feet, seven in each forepaw and five in each hindpaw. When it fails from a height a cat nearly always alights on these pads, which, by reason of their elasticity, break the force of ita fall materially. If by any chance, however, a cat falls on its back or side it is very easily injured. —[New York Telegram. ^:'j:cent

How Tobacco is Eschewed,

Ten years ago the plug and fine cut tobacco prince of this country was a New Yorker, who did a buainees of $6,000,000 annually. Now, it ia stated, there is one firm in St. Louis that does nearly twice as large a business, and another with Bales reported at $20,000,000 a year in that branch of the trade. Than who imagine that tobacco ia being eschewed in thifa country are mistaken.— Philadelphia Ledger.

THE TKKRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SUNDAY MOANING*, JULY 21. 1889.

SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY STORY.

Alleged Diaeoverjr of Treasures Hidden by Mound-Builders la Florida. A party of well-known Atlanta gentlemen, Messrs. W. P. Carter, Alfred Dixon, H. B. Wrenn and Frederick Max well, just returned from a hunting and fishing trip to the everfiladee of Florida, tell a wonderful story about a discovery made by them in the depth of this vast swamp, which will no doubt go 'Tar towards dispelling the mystery which has hitherto so closely enveloped the primeval inhabitants of this continent— the mound-builderB.

The party had been out for about two weeks and had not been very successful, game being comparatively scarce. Learn ing from the natives that they would find better aport by going deeper into the receaws of this trackless swamp, although warned at the same time of the danger of doing so, owing to the diffi culty of treading one's way back through the tangled mazes, they decided to penetrate the famous everglsdee.

Securing alight boat, manned by two negroes, with provisions to last them for a fortnight, they started down one of the sluggish streams leading toward the heart of the swamp. Towards the end of the fourth day, during which time shooting and fishing had both been a good deal better, they were surprised to find themselves issue from the tangled jungle and float out on a large, beautiful lake. In the oenter of this sheet of water was an irregular-shaped island, probably a half-mile in length and almost the same in width, standing considerably above the level of the surrounding marshes, and comparatively bare of vegetation. On this island was a circular mound about one hundred feet high, covered With various kinds of trees. The hunters at once landed with the purpose of exploring what they immediately surmised to be a relic of the ancient mound-builders. They soon found that the tree3 were of a Bpeciee that they had never seen before, the wood being of tf remarkable close fiber and hardness, and when, alter considerable time and labor, the two negroes succeeded in felling one of the smalleet, the rings showed it to be almost two thousand years old.

Mr. Carter, the first to arrive at the summit of the eminence, discovered a shaft sunk in the bowels of the mound. No rope being procurable, a grape-vine was substituted, and Mr. Carter began his descent into the darkness of the opening. After having been lowered a short distance, feeling at the same time on the sides with a stick, he perceived a sudden widening of the shaft, and, striking a match, found a corridor extending on both sidee as far as he could see by the feeble light. Telling his friends of his find, he daringly entered the gallery, where he W8s quickly joined by Mr. Maxwell, and the two started out to explore the mysteries of the mound. They had proceeded but a few yards when the gallery suddenly enlarged and disclosed to them a chamber about fifteen feet high and twenty feet Bquare. Here a strange sight met their eyes. In rows around the room were queerly shaped coffins, made of the wood of the trees which grew on the mound, and covered with unintelligible characters. Grouped around each coffin were gold pots and utensils of great value, also inscribed with hieroglyphics. In the middle of the room was a miniature mound, and in this were found pots, images and various bric-a-bric. Searching further, they found several similar chambers, some empty and some filled with all manner of strange and curious articles.

Returning to the shaft and descending further, another corridor was found connecting with more rooms than the first one, but on reaching the bottom the explorers discovered a third gallery lead"ng into a chamber the splendor and magnificence of which fairly took away their breath. While the walls of the rooms on the other levels were of earth, the walls of this were of beaten silver, the ceiling of a kind of unknown blue metal, thickly strewn with diamonds to represent stars, and the floor of brass. On one side of this room were thirteen gold thrones, exquisitely carved, on which sat as many mummies, these no doubt, being the deceased kings of this people. Opposite each throne was a marble statue—probably representing the king it faced. In the center of the chamber was a mound similar to those in the other rooms, in which were found coroaets, scepters, and other insignia of royalty. Securing as many trophies as they could well take care of, the party set out on their return to civilization.

Mr. Carter saya the relics will be placed in the Smithsonian institute and that he will soon lead a party of scientists to the island with a view to making further explorations.

The Spanish Sasli.

The latest fad for the young men of leisure and fashion is the Spanish sash. They are handsome, effective, probably comfortable, but tremendously effeminate, and are hardly destined to last longer than the craze of the same class of blase individuals for corsets. The Spanish sash I saw was fully four yards long and afoot wide. It was made of the beet black silk, and one end was fringed. It was wrapped full width about the waist of a willowy young man, and, as he told me, answered for suspenders as well as vest. It was pulled tight^and fastened with three pearl scarf-pins. It looked easy, but the creases were suggestive of tight lacing. The sashes come in all the dark shades, and are high priced enough to suit the moet fastidious, but the art of arranging them properly is not to be readily acquired.—[New York Graphic.

Lady Carlisle and Her Farmers. Lady Carlisle has been personally conducting her Yorkshire and Cumberland farmers through London. They have been in the house of commons with her, and the Britiah museum, and are to visit one or two other places of interest before they return. It is a very pleasant and kindly act of hospitality and quite in keeping with Bome other of her generous although somewhat eccentric actions.— 'London World.

An Argument Against Farthings. A Montreal collection plate revealed the fact that 200 of the congregation had contributed one oent apiece to the church funds, while 1,879 had given five cents apiece and 868 ten cents apiece. The stnaller coins appear invaluable for church purposes. It can only be hoped that the argument in favor of one-half pieces, or farthings, will not suc-ceed.-—{Toronto Mail.
