Present Appearance of the City and Condition of the People Met Within It Gates. A. B. Matsoo.M) Warsaw Ind.JTlEics.'' V Tliw present Jerusalem is surrounded by a wall thirty -eight and one-half feet high, "with' four towers, forming an irregular quadrangle about two and one-half miles around. I obtained mv bext ideas of Jcru-. aalem from this wall, around which I "walked several times, with tho exception f a tew hundred yards near tho Joppa gate, where there is a fortress, and consequently people are nut allowed to pass. It ma give some a better idea of tho city if I y that inside the walls is an area of. slightly more than two hundred and nino! acres. Access is obtained iuto the city through tiv5 gates. Six hnndred 3'ears ago there were seven gates, but when, the city came into the hands of tboMoliaminelans for the last time, two of tho gates were closed and have so remained ever since. Jerusalem contains aboft twenty thousand inhabitants, composed vOf almost very nation under the snu. 1 saw on the streets men and women from "Greenland's icy mountains'' and others from .."India's coral strand." Standing for ten 'minutes on the corner of David and -Christian streets 1 heard the nasal' twang of thoAmerican, the clear voice of tho Krjglishmau. tho musical Hebrew of the Jew, tho" rattling Arab, the deep, guttnral tone of the German, and in fact, almost every language under the sun. The. reader may wonder what all these people are doing in Jerusalem. The groat majority., of them have come to worship at. her sacred ahrines: others are students of history., f-ither sacred or secular, or both, whilo others aro here simplv to "buy and sell and get gain." Thousands of these people have traveled on foot from the remote corners of tho earth, that they might tread with their, own feet the places and see with their own ej-es tho scenes made sacred by tho Presence of the Son of God. The permanent population of Jerusalem is about equally divided between Jews, Mohammedans and so-called Christians. 1 think, also, they can pretty equally divide tho -honor as to dirt and tilth. If I had to depend on the Christians of Jerusalem for my conceptions of the religion of Christ, I am afraid I would turn pagan. A religion -which won't make a man wash his neck when it's dirty, clean up his back yard and scratch the llies otit of his eyes when they get in. to my mind is not worth two cents a bushel. It would take a mighty strong argument to convince me that a dirty man or woman ever "got religion." Dirt, however, is not universal in the Christian community, as there are a number of small societies doing excellent work, not only among the Jews, but tho Arabs and Mohammedans, teachingthem as 'rapidly as possible that the religion of Jesus is not a mere sentiment, or something consisting of forms and ceremonies, but a lifo of devotion to duty at home and abroad. The Jews, as a class, are tho most contemptible-looking people I have seen in all rny travels so far. A man with a petticoat and overcoat on his body, both a hat and a bonnet on his head, and with his hair cut short behind and long before, is a very funny-looking sight. Iliad some dealings with some of them and found them honest and nice; a little close, but, ns far as I could judge, telling tho truth and asking a fair 'price on their goods. On Friday last. 1 visited, the wailing place of the Jews, jnst outside the temple walls, or the inclosuro in which the Mosquo of Omar now stands. Many of tho stones are twenty-tive feet long, and tho scholars of the day have decided that the wall hero is a part of the original temple of Solomon. T. suppose that there were at least two hundred Jews there last Friday; some pressed their lips against tho cold stone, uttering Innrl eria of atimiish. while others rend the Lamentations with their cheeks bathed in tears. Some of tho weeping was no doubt gotten up for the occasion, but some of it, I believe, was genuine and sincere. The scene to me was very affecting, aud I could but weep with those who wept, and at tho time ray thoughts went back to the self-invoked curse of eighteen hundred years ago, "His blood be on us, and on our children." TIIK PRESENT TI3IE, There Is as Much of Truth and Virtue Now as There Was a Hundred Years Ago. From Address by Charlea Emory Smith. The spirit which exalts the heroic age of tho Kenuhlie and holds it up for our example ana admiration is altogether right; but "when it elevates the sires Tiv decrying tho eons, and when it glorifies the past by bewailing the present, it is time tor a protest. If you tell me of the lofty virtues and illustrious deeds of the early days, I answer. "Yes; but look around and you will lind their match, iu our own times." If you tell mo of the wrongs, and ovils, and abuses of the present, I answer: "Yes; but search the records, and you will find them blended even with revolutionary glories." You hall not exceed mo in reverent homage for the great ones gone forever and ever by, indlet me summon j'ou in turn not to believe that the ago in which you live is worse than those that have gone before. We often hear it said that ours is a selfish and speculative era, and that under the intluence of its spirit of greed public virtue has decayed. But this is no new complaint. "Where is virtue!" wrote llenrv Laurence, president of the Continental Congress, to Washington in 1778, two years after tho Declaration of Independence, and in tho very midst of the revolution; "wbero is vatronism now, when almost every man has turned his thoughts' and attention to gain and pleasures, practicing every artifice of Changealley or Jonathan'sPJonathan being the name of a great resort of speculators. Tho revolution had its shadows as well as its splendors. We are accustomed to the charge of corruption and fraud, and apt to flunk it belongs only to our owu epoch. But it was is common in the first days of the Republic as now. We deplore the violence of faction and the rancor of discussion, which too frequently prevail; but, though it be true that the waves of party passion, as we see them, often run high, they are the gentleness of the zephyr compared with the furious stbrnis of political contention and personal detraction which lashed the troublous sea of the hrst fifty years of our national existence. We lament the unseemly scramble for place; but, though there is much to learn from our early history, it is still truo that John Adams weut on with his midnight appointments in the expiring, hours of his term, until Jefferson's representative, standing with watch in hand, called a halt; and that with the advent of Jackson the Hood tide of place-hunters was so great that the fences of the Whito House went down before it. RUSSIAN EXILES. If ow They Hold Secret Meetings Despite the Vigilance of the Police. George Keonau, lu J uly Century. Oue by one the political convicts of tho free command began to assemble at Miss Armfeldt's house. Every few minutes a low signal-knock would be heard at ono of the window-shutters, and Miss Armfeldt would go cautiously to tho door, inquire who was there, ana when satisfied that it "was one of her companions would take lown the bar and give aim admission. The small, dimly-lighted cabin, the strained hush of anxiety and apprehension, tho soft, mysterious knocking at the window-shutters, the low but eager conversation, and the group of pale-faced men and woriien who crowded about mo with intense, wondering interest, as if 1 were a man that had just risen from the dead, made mo feel liko i ne talking and acting in a strange, vivid dream. There was not, in the whole environment, a singlo suggestion of the real, commonplace, outside world; and when the convicts, with bated breath, begau to tell rue ghastly stories of cruelty, guttering, infinity and suicide at the mines. 1 felt almost as if I had entered the gloomy gate over which Dante saw inscribed the dread varniug: "Leave hope behind." About 0 o'clock, just as I had taken out rny note-book and began to write, a loud, imperative knock was heard at tho side window-shutter. Madam Kolenkina exclaimed in a low, hoarse whisper, "It's the gen-rtarmes! Don't let them come in. Tell them who of us are here, and perhaps they'll be satisfied." Everybody was silent, and it seemed to mo that I could hear my heart beat whilo Miss Armfeldt went to tho door and with cool self-possession said to the gen-daraies,"We are all here; my mother. 1. Kurteyef, Madam Kolcnkiua and" the other name I culd not catch. After a moment's parley the gen-dannes seemed to go away. Miss Armfeldt shut and re-barred the door, and coming back into tho room paid, with a smile, "They were satisfied; they didn't insist on comingin." Then, turning to me, she added in English: "Tho gendarmes visit us three times a day to see what we are doing and to make sure that we have not escaped. Their visits, however, have grown to be formal, and they do not always come iu." Conversation then resumed, and for two hours or more I listen d to stories of convict life iu

prison, on the road, or at tho mines, and answered as well a? I could the eager ques

tions of tho convict! with regard to the nroirressof the Kussiau revolutionary move ment. In the emirs'; of the talk my atten tion was accidentally attracted to a person whom I had not particularly noticed before, and to whom 1 had not been introduced. It was a man thirty or thirty-five years of age, with a colorless, strangely vacant face, and large, protruding blue eyes. Ho had seated himself on a low wooden stool directly in front of me. had rested his elbows on his knees with his chin in his open hands, and was staring up at me with a steady and at the same time expressionless gaze in which there seemed to be something unnatural and uncanny. At the first panso in tho conversation ho said to me abruptly, hnt in a strange, drawling, monotonous tone, "Wehave a grave-yard of our-own here. Would vou like to see it!" I was so surprised and startled by his manner and by the nature of his question that I did not for a moment reply; but the conviction suddenly Hashed upon me that it was a political convict who had lost his reason. As the knocking at the gate afcer the murder In Macbeth seemed to Ue Quincey to deepen the emotions excited by the tragedy, and to reflect back a sort of added hoiror upon all that had preceded it, so this strange, unprompted question, with its suggestions of insanity and death, seemed to render more vivid and terrible the stories of human suffering that I had just heard, and to intensify all tho emotions roused in my mind by the great tragedy of penal servitude. . , m m THE HATES KOMANCE. laiey Webb Ilew!tch! Iangh Canght the Future President. F. B. O., In Detroit Journal. In the midst of his mourning children, and homo down with his own grief, exPrcsideut Hayes probably remembers the romance of his hrst meeting with Lucy Ware Webb in the old campus at Delaware, O. He was then a tall, blue-eyed, blonde young man, just returned on a vacation from an Eastern school. Delaware was his birth-place and his home, although his parents were dead. He was wealthy oy inheritance, and few young men in Delaware had better opportunities Ou the college grounds is a fa mo us sulphur spring, which had been the cause- of a watering place a few years belore, and is now a great attraction to visitors. The chief diversion of Delaware people in the evening is now, as then, to stroll about the grounds, drink the sulphur water and gossip generally. It was on an evening stroll like this that Hayes first saw his future wife. Sho passed by with a party of young women, and was laughing gaily as she passed the future President. Something mado her laugh tho louder as she disappeared along the gravel path, aud Hayes said to his friends: "That is the most bewitching laugh I ever heard. That girl must be of remarkablo vivacity and sweetness of temper. Who is she? I want to meet her." He was told that she was Lucy Webb, of Chillicothe, and ere tho party left the spring there was au informal presentation, and the courtship thus began has just been sadly ended by death. For Mrs. Hayes never lost her sparkling jollity and woman--ly goodness of heart, while her husband was as devoted in domestic life as in the days of determined courtship. He often remarked that his wife had won him by her laugh, and that her good cheer had always sustained him in the midst of trouble. Two years ago this month the writer met Mrs. Hayes at Xenia. She was then, as at the timo of her death, one of the lady visitors at tho Soldiers' Orphans' Home. With her daughter and General Grosvenor she was waiting with several otheroflicials and trustees of the institution for a train to Colnmhus. It was forty-tive minutes late, which was the more provoking because several of us would miss very important connections. While others chafed and complained, Mrs. Hayes was the only cheerful, contented person in the party. She laughed and joked with the impatient men, and made everyone rather glad that tho train was late, so they could continue conversation with such a delightful woman. On this, as on other occasions she was gracious to tho press, and remarked: "I never had any trouble with reporters, even in Washington, where they would make you vexed occasionally. But I always found that if you kuew them they weio your best friends and alwaj's wanted to do fairly. They are not 6uch awful creatures as some people imagine.'' On the way to Columbus Mrs. Hayes was met by several friends, and 6trangers who recognized her or who heard who she was crowded around her for an introduction, and her trip was a continued ovation. The last time we met was under circumstances equally discouraging, but her happy disno ition again prevailed. During the (J. A. It. reunion at Columbus, the Cincinnati exposition directors gave a frco palace car excursion from Columbus, promising to give the party of ten coachloads free transportation aud sleeping berths back by the next morning. Aheu the guests came to the station at midnight, expecting to rest soundly and travel at the same time, no train was in waiting and tho depot authorities said there would be none, that tho party must get back as best it could. Ex-President Ha3es with Mrs. Hayes were standing at the station gate when these words were spoken, and there was some lively cussing going ou among others of tho disappointed hundreds who were without hotel accommodations and strangers in the city. Theycould not leave for four hours, and had to lounge around the station nearly all night. Mrs. Hayes spoke a few words of consolation to those she knew, and in a few minutes the ex-President had chartered the entire sleeping-coach, which ran regularly, and invited all the women in the party to occupy it freo of charge, an invitation which his wife seconded with her most winning smiles. No matter how many sall and bitter llings may be made at the ex-President, no one ever could assail the happiness of his home nor tho purity of tho social atmosphere which surrounded his family. CIVIL-SKRVICK RULES. A Good Stoiy That Is Told of the Pot masterGeneral and Senator Sherman. Philadelphia North American. Speaking of civil-service rules. Postmaster-general Wanamakcr and Senator Sherman had a funny experience shortly before the latter's departure for Kurope, says. the Washington Post. Tho Senator had gone to the Postotllce Department to secure thevappointmentof a formermember of the Ohio Senate to a postotllce inspectorship, .The man was highly indorsed, but on looking up the matter it was found that the law provided that he must pass a civilservice examination before he became eligihle for appointment. "Hut," remonstrated the Ohio statesman, "I know this man very well, and ho is perfectly competent to till the place, and without a civilservice examination." "That may be all very true," replied the head of tho Postoffico Department, "but the law provides that he xmtMt pass this examination, so you see my difficulty." "Yes. I see. Hut Mr. Postmaster-general, did you ever stop to think of how tho country wonld have been deprived of the services of two good men if you and I had been compelled to pass this examination to secure our places!,f The Senator's constituent made a heroic stagger at tho examination, but got only a fair average. He has not yet received the appointment. Ho was here a few davs ago on other business, having become disgusted with civil service, and said that when he got home he was telling his twelve-year-old son some of the questions he had failed on. "Why. papa," said ho, "how could 3ou miss such easy questions!" Tho father then proceeded to put his hopeful through tho whole examination, and the boy came out unscathed. If he had been before tho commissioners his per cent would not havo been less than ft. The Ohiomau now realizes that he mado a mistake in not applying for the office for the boy. A Simple Devlee to Wipe Out roverty. In tho North American Review for July, the Hev. James IJ. Wasson suggests to Dr. McGlyim and Henry George method of abolishing poverty in about two centuries and a half, by the simple device cf investing $K.ouo and letting it go on increasing at compound interest for that length of time. The results are startling. Ho says: "Assuming that, when put out at compound interest, tho principle doubles itself every fifteen years no very extravagant assumptionthe l0.ot)0 Invested in ltua would today amount to the inconceivably enormous sum of 1.207.0000! Alll gnm -n vested at the rate of 4 per cent, would vield an annual income ot $7,crs.'M.I0). which sum. bo it remembered, would available every year in perpetuity for the.noble but misty objects of tho Anti-poverty Society."

' Indicted for Cronln's Murder. Chicago, Juno 20. Tho clock in Judge Shepard's court-room registered tho hour of 5:10 this afternoon when tho special grand jury, which has been investigating theCronin mystery, tiled into the,. room with their report. Every juror answered to his name as the clerk called the Toll, and as the call was completed Judge Shepard, who had been in waiting sinco 4::J0 o'clock, addressed Foreman Clough: "Have you a report to make!" "We have," and a document upon which all eyes fastened with eager interest was handed to tho judge. "Have you further business, gentlemeni'' was tho next query. "I think we have finished what wo havo to do." "Then you may be excused from any further service." With this stereotyped conversation ended tho work of tho grand jury. The report indicted seven men, of whom three were already in jail under previous indictments Coughliu, O'Sullivan and Woodruff and a fourtht John F. Heggs, under arrest on suspicion. Tho fifth man was Martin Burke, the suspect in custody at Winnipeg. The sixth and seventh men indicted are still at large Patrick Cooney, "the Fox," and John Kunze, a friend of detective Coughliu, whoso alleged complicity was only brought to the attention of the authorities within the past two days. Within an hour after tho return of tho indictment, a capias had been made out for John F. Beggs, tho senior guardian' of Camp 20, Clau-na-Oacl, whoso place of detention has been a down-town police station. He was at once transferred to a cell near the other accused, iu murderers' row, at tho county jail. None of tho prisoners' or suspects wero represented in court when tho grand jury reported to Judgo Shepard. Few persons at all were present besides officials, except a number of newspaper men. After the last formalities of the long inquisition were ended. State's Attorney Longeneckcr told a number of reporters that he had not yet dropped tho case in its relation to Alexander Sullivan. The State's Attorney claimed that tho grand jury had been unable, owing to tho expiration of its term, to hear all the evidence that could bo presented agaiust Mr. Sullivan. The inquiry as to' Sullivan would be continued to the ue'xt jury. Whether it would be another special panel or tho regular hody could not at present be stated. It was conceded by Mr. Longenecker, in private conversation, that up to tho moment that term of the grand jury expired the authorities had not secured sufficient evidence upon which Sullivan could be convicted. An indictment of him, therefore, so the State's Attorney reasoned, would undoubtedly result in an immediate trial or acquittal, barring forever any other proceedings, a result which, from Mr. Lougeneckei 's staud-point, was not to be desired. Another reason for the State's Attorney's course, is said to be a hope on his part, "that beforo the trial of the men indicted is ended, some of them may be induced, through hope of saving their own necks, to give evidence directly incriminating Sullivan. Three Persons Killed and Several Ttadly Ilnrt. New Haven. Conn.. June 21 The limited express which left Boston at 11 a. m.. today, via the Boston &. Albany railroad, was ditched just outside the cit3' limits this afternoon. Three persons were killed and several badly injured. The killed are Miss Mary A. Brigham, of Brooklyn, N. Y who was recently appointed principal of the Mount Holyoke Seminary, at South Hadley, Mass; Clarence May, a drawing-room car conductor, thought to belong to Stamford, Conn., and E. P. Pfefler, traveling ageut for Emil Lanz, of New York The injured are Rodney Beers, conductor, arm broken; drawing-room-car conductor Ellis, thrown through a window and cut about the head. Brakeman McKean wa thrown through a window with tho porter of the car, but was not badly injured. George Craig, of Meriden, badly injured internally. W. H. Lockwod of No. 88 Farmiugtou avenue. H irtford. with his two sons and ' two daughters, together with Benjamin F. Fisher, were on their way to Shore Beach.. All were badly shaken up and bruised. Mr. Lockwood is now at tho hospital with a broken ankle. Miss Bertha Lockwood was

quite badly hurt on the wrist, hut has left the hospital. There were several huudred passengers on tho train, and the majority of them got a bad shaking up and were more or less bruised and cut. They scattered so quickly after the accident that it was impossible to get their names. Tho accident was caused by the spreading of the rails where a gang of trackmen were at work relaying tho track. Tho engine passed over all right, but tho rails spread under tho baggage car, turning it across the track and the other cars behind it pushing it into tho smoker. One passenger coach and two drawing-room cars also went over on their sides and. landed in the ditch. The reaf car left the track but did not turn over. Signing the Amalgamated Scale. PiTTsnuRO, Jnne 20. It can be safely said that there will be no strike in the ironmills over tho wage question this year. The officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel-workers were notified to-day that sixteen tirms had signed tho scale. A number of others havo signified their intention of signing as soon as necessary repairs at their plants h.ive been made, and within a month' it i? thought all the uniou mills in tho country will bo in operation under tho new scaie. Tho firms siguiug to-day were the New Albany Structural Works, of Now Albany, Ind.; Mahonine Valley Iron-works, of Youngstown, O.; Riverside Iron and Steel Company, of Cincinnati; Maumee Rolling-null, of Toledo: P. L. Kimberly, of Greenville, Pa.; Elba Iron and Bolt Company, of Pittsburg: Brown, Bon uell& Co., of Youngstown, O.; Stenbenvillo Iron Company, of Alikanna, O.; Brown & Co., Wayne Iron-works of Pittsburg; Standard Iron Company, of Bridgeport, O.; .Etna Iron and Steel Company, of Bridgeport, O.; Republic Iron Company, of Pittsburg; Etna Iron Company, of New Castle, Pa.;

Andrew Iron Company, of itazelton, U.; Summer Bros. & Co., of Strutuers, O.. and Carnegie's Twenty-ninth and Thir-ty-third-street mills, ot this city, lln utter employes nearly 5,000 men. Some trouble is expected in the steelmills, as the manufacturers insist upon a reduction. In this city there will probably bo a light at the Homestead Steel-works of Carnegie cV. Co. This afternoon orders were giveu to close down the works for repairs, and the mem were given to understand that they would not bo re-employed until they had consented to accept the firm's scale. The men assert that the scale will bo signed, and tho firm say if the reduction is not accepted the mill will be started with non-union men. About 5,000 men are employed hero. There is general rejoicing among tho iron-workers over the prospects of steady work for auother year. Stanley's Whereabouts. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Juno 20. The friends of Henry M. Stauley are not discouraged by uot hearing additional news from the great explorer by Tippoo Tib's son, who lias just arrived at Zanzibar. There is general satisfactiou in circles conuected with British interests in East Africa, that Stanley has come around by tho north of Victoria Nyanza, and not sought to force his wTiy through Umyoro and Uganda. There can ho little douht that Stanley has been at Mslala, where stores have been accumulating for some time. Besides stores, he would find there letters which would put him quite en rapport with the situation iu British East Africa. If so, ho would be sure to make such arrangements on tho northeast of Victoria Nyauza and in tho country between that and Wadelai as would completely checkmato the efforts of the Germans to get up theTona river and round by Uganda, and so cut oil British East Africa from the interior. In well-informed circles'it is thought probable enough that when Emiu gets a supply of guus, .ammunition and other stores from Stanley ho may return to Wadelaiand continue to hold his province until some other steps can bo taken for securing it. In auother direction measures will be takeu by tho British East African Company to secure free access to the iuterior. Mail advices from West Africa confirm previous reports of the shocking privations to which Mr. Stanley has been subjected. It is stated that his hair has turned snow white; that his clothes .are rags, and that ho is without shoes, beiug obliged to use skins to cover his feet. An Independent Duke. Special to the Imliauapolis Journal. IVondo.v, June 20. The betrothal of Princess Louise to the Earl of Fife revives the rumors which were prevalent a short time ago of coolness between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Portland, which, it is said, has assumed the character of a permanent rupture. It is asserted that both the Queen and the Primo of Wales desired an alliance with the Duke of Portland, and in pursuance of this desire a friend of the Prince was commissioned to sonnd the Prince as to his willingness to become son-in-law to tho heir to tho throne. To the amazement of the mutnal friend, and tho chagrin of her Majesty and the Prince, the Duke flatly refused to listen seriously to the proposition. He is said to have expressed himself as not at all flattered by the proposal, in view of the pitiful snubbing which tho Marquis of Lome had received at the hands of his wife's relatives on many occasions, and declined to permit himself to be placed in a similar position. In verification of this storv, atteption is called to the fact that at tho recent wedding of tho Duko it whs observed that the Queeen had sent no present and tho omission caused much comment. It is believed that the Earl of Fife will bo created a Duke, in order to raoro firmly establish the precedence of his offspring. The grandchildren aro necessarily royal, and take precedence even of tho brothers and sisters of sovereigns. The Austrian Emperor's Speech. Copyright 18S9, by the New York Associated Press. Bkklix, Juno20. Count Kalnoky's speech expressing confidence in tho intentions of the Servian regency has tended to allay the al-irm which Emperor Francis Joseph's speech produced. The cordial references of both to Bulgaria are regarded as an answer to tho Czar's toast to tho Prince of Montenegro. Notes exchanged between Austria, Germany, Italy and England on the question of recognizing Prince Ferdinand iihow that while thero is no desire to press the matter, no objection will be offered. Turkey's decision depends upon that of the other powers, but apart from Russia's opposition tho recognition of Ferdinand can hardly become a fait accompli while Prince Bismarck shows so little interest iu Bulgaria's fate. It is feared that the outbreak at Novl Bazaar is more serious than represented., Eighteen Servians have already been arrested, and 240 have lied to Austrian Bosnia. t Servia has concentrated 200 men in the vicinity, iu hopes to apprehend the fugitives, ami Minister Gruies Las requested the Porte to reiuforce tho garrison at Novi Bazaar. The Living and Dead at Johnstown. OTohnstown, Pa., June 20. The sub-com-ttce appointed to secure an accurate rfecount of the living and dead has filed its report. The report, nowever, is as unsatisfactory as any of the preceding reports. It is as follows: 15,455 men; women and children have been registered as survivors, which includes 4,240 heads of families. The morgues have accounted for over 8,000 bodies found, while the registration report shows only 1,838 as tho total number of lives lost. The committee oiler as an excuse for this discrepancy that they have not been allowed 6utucient time to properly cover the ground, and that a part of the information given to them was incorrect. There are but few prople here who estimate the loss of lifo under 10.000. Tho citizens are very indignant at the last reduction in the working forces, and have requested that the force be increased instead of diminished.

An Incident That Increases One's Kespect for Human Nature. Angnsta (Me.) Journal. I well remember a visit to the New Hampshire State Prison, at Concord, which 1 made a few years ago in company with several friends. Ono little incident of that visit made a vivid impression on my mind.' In the liorre-car with us ou our way to thQ prison sat a quiet, sad-faced little woman, fciho was neatly and plainly dressed, and had a certain air of refinement about her which showed her to be a lady. She came into the prison fraard-room with us, and was at once shown to the warden's privatft ofVie A moment. later. n I stood looking out through heavy-barred windows, across the stone-paved prison yard at tho plain, gloomy-looking, stone building containing the work-shops, the door of ono of them opened, and anothcer, holdingin hia hand a heavy revolver, stood out upon tho granite steps. ' A moment later a tall, finely-formed man, clad in the black and red suitof the prison, passed out in front of him. As he came slowly across the prison yard I saw that his face was a handsome and intelligent one. There was something in his appearanceaud bearing which, despite his prison garb, proclaimed the training and instincts of a gentleman. I watched him as he came up the steps to the guard room, and a moment later through the partly open door of the warden's olilce I saw him clasp to his heart tha little woman who had been onr fellow-passenger, and who threw herself into his arms with a passionate love. Thou the door was closed to shut out from ennous eves all further sight of that interview. I looked again across the prison yard, but there was a mist before my eyes that seemed to shut off everything. Later I learned that the man was a forger. "He camo from a good family, I believe," said tho guard in answer to my inouiiies. "That little woman is his wife, fche has been true as steel to him through it alL He's one of tho best-behaved men in tho Crison, and will get considerable time off is sentence on that account. He has two years more." Somehow I cotildu't help feeling that when that man came out from prison he would go to that little woman, aud with her help lead an honeat life. Any community which would deliberately adii one pang to those already endured by that woman would be worse than heathen. The Truth Stated in Classical Term. fit. Loul Kepubllc. Speaking of prayers, the late Ker. Dr. S. H. Cov was unique in his devotions. He was specially fond ot rolling out classical quotations when addressing the Almighty, which he would frequently translate, lest the Lord might not understand Latin. At a meeting of tho Presbyterian General Assembly, one year, when he was moderator, he said in tho midst of his opening praven "Oh, Lord Jesus Christ. Thou art the no plus ultra of our desires, the sine qua uon of our faith, and the Ultima Thuleof mir nope. " Doors of Paper. BulMer. Paper doors arc said to be great improvements over wooden ones.
