LITTLE THLNGS.

IJfe is made of little things. Call them trifles, never, E'en the least is part of life, And will be forever. - Words are only little things. Easy to be spoken ; Yet a single one ere now, A loving heart hath broken. Bins are sometimes little things. But they're seed for reaping ; To be done in after years. With repentant weeping. Troubles may be little things That a friend may lighten With a word whose cheery sound May the whole day brighten. Minutes are but little things, Yet they grow to ages; They are types that stamp the words On your history's pages. , Children mav be little things, "i"et to them 'twas given , Privilege to come to Him Who ruleth earth and Heaven. Don't despise the little things, Inches make the fathoms, ' Grass blades cover prairies wide. Words are made of atoms.

The famous old Dr. John Brown, who was

of old the minister at Haddington, England was in the habit of talking to his divinity students in a way which might wisely be followed by some of the professors of the present time. He would say to them: "Young gentlemen, ye need three things to make ye good ministers; ye need learning and grace, and common sense. As for the learning, I'll try to set ye in the way of it; as for grace, ye must always pray for it; but if ye have na brought the common sense with ye, ye may go aboot your business." Dr. Moses D.

EMPRESS EUGENIE.

The Greatest Example of the Instability of

Earthly Grandeur. (London Spectator . Once more the Empress Eugenie has to

repeat, "I have been too favorable to war."

Regarded tnrougn an nerwomannooa as one

of the most fortunate among mankind, re

spected and even liked by her husband's deadliest enemies, she has suffered blow af

ter blow; has lost her husband, her throne,

her country; and now her last hope, her onlv child, has suffered a violent death from

enemies who never neara oi mm, ana in a cause which was not his own. The heir of

the Napoleons, the child of the "baptism of

fire," assegaied by zuius in soutn Ainca:

Scarcely in history or in fiction has there

been a life like that ot tne n-mpress HiUgenie, for even Josephine, the woman most- like

her, was not stripped of her children, the verv lad whose untimely death is now

mourned having been her descendant. She, of all livine women, is the greatest example

of the instability of earthly grandeur and

the vanity of human hope or expectation. London Saturday Review.

The emnress has drunk to its drees the

cup of affliction. She has known all the ex

tremes of human life from the height of nrosoeritv to the abyss of adversity. Per

haps the very highest point of her prosperity was attained at the moment when her boy was born. The English alliance had then

been assured, and she and her husband hsd

been received in London with a welcome

which seemed to show that the coup d' etat had been obliterated from the memory of

the world. Tbe Crimean war had reached

its triumphant close, and her husband was preparing to show how magnanimous he

could be to the vanquished. The Orsini attempt, the Italian war, the ill-starred Mexican expedition, tbe audacities of Cavour and Bismarck, and the dark day of Sedan still lay hid in the womb of the future. The prince imperial seemed

born to a great heritage, and the very fact that the empress had given an heir to the

crown seemed to make the crown secure.

Now this child of many hopes lies dead in

remote Africa, killed by savages in a tiny

forav. and she is a widowed, childless exile.

Nor is it only this striking illustration of the instability of human greatness and these terrible sorrows of a woman that move the

mind of the English public. The empress

is tenderly regarded in England for her own sake. She has led here a meek and gentle life, bearing her sorrows with dignity and

imnatience. shunning all appearance of

grandeur, and never intruding herself and her cause on England. That such a mother

should be weeping over the loss of her only child, that all her hones should be gone, all

her affections withered, would awaken the svruDBthies of Englishmen even if the im-

Dressien was not mentally heightened by

the royal position of the tufferer and by the

ron ance of her history.

Old Phineas Rice was one of the quaint types of itinerant Methodist preachers. He had a hard patch to cultivate once, and when he made his report to the conference following, he reported the church "looking up." The bishop presiding expressed his pleasure, but asked for an explanation, because no one expected success in that parish. Dr. Rice was equal to the occasion, and added, "Well, bishop, the church is on its back and

can't look any other way." There was a roar

of laughter all over the conference.

Our Episcopalian brethren are fond of speaking of their denomination as the American church, and using a big C for church. But a capital C does not make a big church. And now Dean Stanley, who

was here a few months ago, regales his i-ng

lish hearers with a laugh at the assumption

of his American cousins. He declares that the latter perpetrate a double absurdity by

calling themselves by that name when there

are other churches in America of far larger dimensions, and also because, from the

nature of the case, it is as absurd to speak of

the "Church of America" as it would be to speak of the "Church ot Europe." The

dean, therefore, thinks American Episcopalians are guilty of folly in claiming an ini possible exclusiyeness.

A few months ago a goodly minority of Brooklyn Methodists were in favor of removing the restrictions from the pastoral term of their preachers, so that men could be retained in one church longer than three yeara It was then agreed that a preacher had not time in three years to do his best work, that the churches needed family pastors as much as a community needs family physicians, etc. Now the same respectable minority think three years is too long a pastoral term, and . that the restriction should be removed so that preachers can move every year. And so confident are they that they are right this time they have organized an association, nH l.t witek elected officers. Have the

anti-itinerants really changed their minds or onlv their tactics! There is room for un

favorable doubt and criticism, which they

The Young Merchants.

Two country lads came at an early hour

to a market town, and arranging their little stands, sat down to wait for customers. One

was furnished with fruits and vegetables ot

the Ijov's own cultivation, and the other

supplied with lobsters and fish. The mar

though it looks very fair, there is an unsound spot in it." said the boy, turning it

over.

"So there is" said the man: "I think I will

not take it. But," he added, looking into the bov's fine open countenance, "is it very

business-like to point out the delects of

vour fruit to the customers?"

"It is better than beinsr dishonest," said

the boy modestly.

" lou are right, little fellow; always remember that principle, and you will find favor with God and man also. I shall

remember vour little stand in the future."

"Are those lobsters Iresh ! he continued,

turning to Ben Williams.

Just then they espied their customer of the preceding day approaching, accompanied by a tall, dignified, benevolent looking man, with gray hair, and wearing gold spectacles and carrying a gold-headed cane. "These are the boys," said the customer as they drew near the boys' stands. " Which is the' honest one," said the be- . n.mlin tluA-in o- TTlflTl "t.hlS One?"

New York Mercury .J

The writer waa present at a . small gather

ing of earnest men in the parlors of a wellknown physician on the West Side a few days since. The conversation gradually took a spiritualistic turn, when the host surprised his hearers by stating that he had been prac

ticing medicine for over 40 years, and that he had certainly seen the soul erdolen, or spirit, of at least 50 persons during that pe

riod. There was a general murmur of in

credulity, and one gentleman remarked: "It was all Imagination, of course." Tbe doctor repudiated that theory. "Had I been the only witness to these spectral forms," he said, "I might attribute the appearance to some abnormal condition of my system."

He then related the following curious expe

rience, with the special request that his name

should not be made public in connection with any newspaper article:

About six months since, he waa sum

moned to the bedside of an aged lady who had been an occasional patient of his. Tbe

matron's two married daughters were present, and although they are both middleaged women, they apparently did not sus

pect that their mother was so close upon tne

snore or tne aarx river, xoe extremities

were cold; the features were pinched and pallid; the heart alternately beat and fluttered with labored slowness. The doctor informed the ladies that their

MOTHER WAS SEARING HER END,

and that all he could do would be to exhibit

stimulant which would afford temporary

relief by driving the blood from the heart to

the extremities.

The stimulant was administered in tea-

spoonfuls, with the result predicted. .Next

day, however, wnen ne cauea ne iouuu iue old lady was sinking fast. She was quite

unconscious. Her energies appearea w db

entirely lulled. She was moved by none of

those dreams which impel tne dying me 10 murmur out the names of friends, or the occupations and recollections of past life. She was leaving the world as unconsciously as fourscore years ago she had entered it.

She lay on a bed on the parlor noor; or, to be more specific, her bed was placed in the intermediate room between the two parlors, and separated from them by folding doors. The doctor took a seat near the foot of the

bed. The eldest daughter occupied a similar position. There was nothing further to be done but to wait for the end. It was in the afternoon, merging toward evening. The

light in the apartment was suDQuea, put

remarked, "It eeemea to oe gionuou imago

of her mother." ' . .

"That," said the gray-nairea pnysician, - is my last experience in soul-seeing." On being further interrogated as to his FIRST GHOST, he stated that when he had only been a few years engaged in the active practice of his profession, his only brother was prostrated with a severe malady. One day, after leaving his bedside, he suddenly met him in the garden. "I was never so surprised in my life," said the doctor. "I hadn't left him an hour, and I had come to the conclusion that be was not long for this world, poor fellow. So I shouted: "Halloo, Dick you don't mean to tell me you're up and out !" He smiled a sad, sweet smile, and as I stood transfixed, watching, he faded gradually into thin air. I rushed into the house, and found that he had just died." The doctor is one of those men who pride themselves on the fact that nobody can fool them, and hence his testimony on this sub

ject is the more extraordinary. He avers, , 1 -. .'..I .La. 1.A kn, DQ.T1

but that they are prevented from admitting the fact from dread of ridicule. If this be so, there must be some peculiarity of constitution and temperament which bestows

this ghostly vision.

It Is sufficient to state that the address of the medical ghotfceeer can be obtained by those interested at this office. ' Farther inquiry among intelligent people reveals tbe fact that there are quite a number of otherwise shrewd and reliable persons who believe in and profess to have seen the astral element or spirit of departed friends. In this connection the remark of Locretlts, the epicurean, is interesting: "The surfaces of bodies are continually and constantly thrown off by a sort of centrifugal force, and hence an exact image is often presented to us by this surface coming off, as it were, entire, like the cast skin of the rattlesnake, or the shell of the chrysalis; and thus the Idea of our absent or departed friends strike on the mind." PHILOSOPHY. Francis Grose, the antiquary Immortalized by- Burns, has summed up many of the wondrous attributes of ghosts, in the existence of which be appears to have been a firm believer: "The spirit of a person deceased," he writes, "is either commissioned to return for some special errand, such as tbe discovery of a murder, to procure restitution of lands, or money unjustly withheld from an orphan or widow; or, having committed some injustice whilst living, can not rest till that is redressed. Sometimes the occasion of spirits revisiting this world is to inform their heir In what secret place or private drawer in an Old trunk they had hid the title deeds of the estate. Some ghosts of murdered persons, whose bodies have been secretly buried, can not be at ease till tbelr bones have been taken up and deposited in sacred ground, with all the rights of Christian burial." The last illustration accords with the experience of Gerald Massey, the poet. He was persistently haunted by a ghost at his house in Porto Bello, near Edinburgh, until he dog under the- hearthstone, and discovered a

human skeleton. On being transferred to

sanctified ground, Mr. Massey has alleged over his signature, the ghost troubled him no more.

Reading for Children.

There has hardly been a more important topic introduced for the consideration of the

assembled librarians this week than the char

acter of the books that children should read.

It has been discussed from various standpoints

with much ability, and many practical suggestions have been offered that will doubtless bear good fruit. There is no sing'.e influence known to us that bears more directly upon the development of human character than early reading. Of course strength of mind

and purpose and natural good taste will correct m the mature person faults and unhealthy impressions imbibed by the child; but

there are so many who have not the power to arrest their momentum and change their direction that a proper start is the only safe course for those who have accepted or had

thrust upon them the responsibility ot shai

ing the characters of children. "Weak books give false ideas of life and make weak and

frivolous men and women. Vicious book

make immoral and dangerous men and women. Books that are of healthy tone and

Of course there are good books wnicn are of little value for children. T'ld literature supplied to the unformed and expanding mind ought to possess intrinsic interest and a correct purpose. 1'ven if a book does no more than furnish entertainment, provided it does that naturally and correctly it is an excuse for being; for healthful entertainment is an encouragement to the formation of a habit of reading which in course of time will seek the most profitable books. The problem of the best reading for children is not yet solved, but light is breaking and considerable progress has been made. The rising generation has advantages in this respect that were

undreamed of by their lathers and rnotners. It has been a question whether a special literature should oe written for children, and there are certainly two sides to it. A child that is old enough to encourage in the habit of reading ought to be old enough to comprehend Scott, Dickens. Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Longfellow, Whittier, and

others of their classes and character. But a wrltRr who understands children can render

them a special service by addressing himself

directly to their literary necus. oi. - n uoiuu is at the head of a class of magazines that is of great benefit to children, but it has this peculiarity that it interests grown people

mm A Natural Soap Mine. Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle, June 27.

On Smith's creek in Elko county there is a most remarkable stratum of steatite resting horizontally in a steep bluff of volcanic matter which flanks the eastern side of

Smith's creek valley. The stratum of steat

ite is from three to 10 feet in diameter. It is easily worked, and is a veritable soap mine. In factthe farmers, cattle men and sheen herders fir that region all use the nat

ural article for washing purposes. Chemically considered this peculiar clay is a hyHrtd silicate of alumina, magnesia, potash

and lime. When the steatite is first dug from the stratum it looks precisely like immense masses of mottled castile soap, the mottling element being a small percentage of iron oxide. To-day Professor Stewart

received a sample of this natural soap,

nrenared bv a firm in Elko, who have un

dertaken to introduce it into the market.

It is similar in appearance to the castile soap sold in large bars. Nothing is added to the mineral but a trifle more alt all and some

scenting extracts. Its detersive qualities are as powerful as those of any manufactured

soap.

An "Intor-Oiwan" Reporter Allowed to Feel,

bat Not to See, Georgie Bonn's Peculiar Append e. The arrival in Chicago of Georgie Rehn, the boy with a tail," has been already an

nounced In these columns. To say that the

friends of the caudalated child have been besieged with visitors, is to express moderately enough the curious crowd who call at tbe modest home of Mr. H. V. Rehn.

An emissary of the Inter-Ocean called to

see tbe prodigy last evening, at the home of

Mr. Kehn, fto. 4'J west an uuren street, ue was courteously received by tbe father, who la a verv intelligent, respectable person, of

about 35 years of age. Tbe reporter briefly

told the nature of his mission, ana irankiy stated that, while he was anxious to see with his own eyes the malformation as described

by a Cincinnati paper, he was not movea therein by mere morbid curiosity, but only

so as to have tbe opportunity of describing

it lor the benefit of the readers ot the paper

be represented.

Mr. Kebn then stated mat ne naa deter

mined not to allow any member of the press to see the child's deformity; that he had not, their assertions or insinuations to the con

trary notwithstanding, allowed any Chicago reporter to see it No amonnt of money, although he was a poor man, would induce

him to alter his determination. Mr. itehn further stated that for more than a year he

hsd tried to ignore what be considered as an

affliction to his little boy.

The boy is a bright, lively little fellow of

five years ot age. During the conversation between his father and the reporter he came to the latter and confidingly rested on his

knee. "Vou will be able to feel tbe shape

of the deformity," said Mr. Rehn. With

drawing tbe lower outside garments, the hand reportonal came in contact with the protuberance. It is not a tail, but might

with more justice be styled a head. Connected with the backbone by a neck of flesh

about four inches in length is a bead the size of a small cocoa nut, about three inches in diameter. On the left side of this head socket holes, like those in an ordinary face, could be felt, and the small bones in this

head or protuberance have the movable feeling of the nasal and jaw bones of a normal face. Mr. Rehn said Ithat the connecting band bore a growth of silky yellow hair.such as might be possessed by a child of Georgie's

age.

Little oeorgie seems perfectly at home with his father, though it mnst be remembered that he has only been with him but a day or two. He went through the feat of raising himself from a sitting position, using the protuberance as a lever, which takes the place of bands, for this object. The child has good health, a good appetite, is of a happy and cheerful disposition, with the usual childish propensity for candy and playthings. There is nothing else abnormal about him. The head, the one on tbe child's shoulders, is rather large.but not unusally so for a smart, healthy child. The hero of this queer lusus natura: was listening attentively to the description by his father of his mother's last days, and he remarked to the reporter: "Yes, and if she dies again I am going to take her out." "Poor little fellow,' said his father "he does not comprehend that his mother is dead."

An Inebriate's Device. Tbe Boston Commercial Bulletin tells the following story of a young man who ws taken to a home for inebriates for treatment: "He is a bad case," said the gentleman who banded him oyer to Mr. Coles, "and yet he has some good in him. He is one of the

most generous of men, in drink or out of it, but he is never happy except when in drink; yet when I get him in good society, and occupy his mind with pure things, he seems

to forget that there is socn a ining as liquor in the world. Get him out of bis present

condition and give him to me clothed in his

right mind, and I think 1 can manege to save him. He's tricky, so I advise you for

my sake and for his sake to watch him."

' Leave mm to me, saia nr. ioies. In three days Mr. Coles had brought the

young man through ail tne aangers or.

delirium tremens ana naa placed him, as it were, on his feet. The danger was passed.

All that was required was an euort on tne

young man s part, ana tne cure was com

plete. "How do you feel?" said Mr. Coles when his patient had recovered his senses. "Very well inded, only I would like one last drink, you know, before 1 part company

with it forever."

"You shall have it," was the reply, and

five minutes later the young man was regaled with a big drink of the bromide of yotassla.

patient. "I'm all right now. God bless you for your kindness."

Mr. uoies gatnerea up tne young man s

clothes in his arms, including his hat and

shoes, and carried them down stairs.

There, my boy," said Mr. Coles to him

self, "when you want to get out of this establishment you've got to summon me,"

and perfectly satisfied that the young man could not get out without his assistance. Mr. Coles applied his thoughts to other subjects.

The patient was determieed to procure

some spirits. His room was two stories

from the street, but there was a pipe that

ran from the roof to the ground, a waterspout.

"I can descend by that, said ne." He looked around for his clothes they

were gone. He found nothing but a pair oi old slippers. The money he had in his pockets when he was brought to tbe asylum

waa in tbe bureau-arawer ot nis room. air. Coles had not thought to take that away. The young man, tore tbe sheets ot his bed into strips and wound the strips around his

legs, making a pair oi pantaloons; tnen ne took a comforter from his bed, cut holes in it

for his arms, and thus made a tolerably nice dressing-gown. With the dressinggown made from the comforter, the pantaloons made from the strips of his sheets, and

the pair of slippers, he thought himself well dressed. Only one thing was wanting a hat. Going into the bath room he found a large sponge. He cut a slit in this with his

razor, and putting nis nrau uw bh u, hsd a fur hat at once. -Then raising his
