An American expert, who has traveled in both countries, asserts that the speed of English trains is, on the average, one-fourth greater than that of American trains. The alleged largest diamond in the world was found recently in Africa, and it i to be polished in Amsterdam, where a special shop is leing constructed for the purpose. It is fraid to weigh 473 carats, which is lfi'i carats more than the Shah of Persia's "Grand Mosul." When the ropes with which oil wells are drilled are worn out they still have their use?.

The tenter of white imputation is now near Cincinnati, while that of the black population is near Macon. A Stratford (Conn.) woman, who is a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, accuses local Christians of going to church to hear of the glories of another world and beat down Satan tinder their feet, all the while having horses outside f.hting a thousand devils in the shape of liies and mosquitoes. Actors returning from London report that in all the theaters remaining open the audiences were "thinly scattered to make up a fchow.'' There are plenty of American there, but they all dine late, after their sight seeing during the day, and seem to prefer after duk a stroll and cigar on the Thames embankment to a visit to the play.

Owing to improved machinery and cheap labor the average cost of harvesting grain in California is less than it has ever been. One farmer in the San Joaquin Valley pays four cents a sack for harvesting his crop. Under oi.l methods the cost of threshing alone has been as high as fifteen cents. A very clever invention just brought out has been shown a New York manager. By imply turning the handle of a machine a j-ound is produced resembling the clapping of a number of bands.

He kept on snooting,, not knowing whetuer the bullet had escaped or not. and the barrel fhallyripped, upen. . It was wweJ in two louItuina.Iy, and ifiside were found fourteen bullets wcoV'd one into the ether, an i s tightly compressed by the su?reA-ive explosion that some of them looked like flattened dies. The total number of men in the Unbu army in the relellion was 3.073.-VH. This includes colored troops and thosedrafted for service, and is an aggregate of the troops furni?hcd for all periods, from three months' to three years' lime. Ileduced to a uniform three years' standard, the whole number of troops' enlisted was 2,320.272. The losses, including those T."hr died, of disease or in prison, were 270,370 on the Union side, and 13321 cn the Confederate. Bishop Turner, a prominent colored Georgian, urges the young men of his race to seek homes in the Government lands of the "West instead of clinginsr to the Kastern cities, and engaging in occupations too often servile. He says: "You might take the brightest young man in (ieoria and let him come out ot Harvard or Yale with a diploma a large as a bed .sheet, but after he has blacked Ivoots for three months at a hotel his manhood is gone for life." A patriarchal couple named Ledger, who have done much to make up for shortcomings of many of their countrymen and women in repopulating France, are now living at Itozoy-Belval in the Aisne. They have had twenty-seven children, ot whom twenty-live are living, and three are serving in the army m Tonquin. The father and mother, aged respectively seventy-three and sixty-eiiit. cultivate a" farm, aided by six other sons. Of their twenty-seven children, twenty-one were loys. The term broken heart, as commonly applied to death from excessive grief, is not a vulgar error, but may arise from violent muscular exercise or strong mental emotions. This afTcction was, it is believed, first d?scribed by Harvev; but since his day several cases have been observed. Morgagni has recorded a few example, among them that of George IL. of Kngland, who died suddenly of this disease in 17ti0, and. what is very curious, Morgagni himself fell a victim to the same malady. A man of seventy-nine and a woman of about the same age were married recently in the vicinity of East Greenwich. P.. I. The couple are old lovers, having been engaged to each other more than half a century ago. but a quarrel ensued, and they separated. Each, however, married, and has rais?d a family. Death broke into both families, and the old lovers were again free, which fact having come to the cars of the groom, he hunted up his early sweetheart, a meeting was arranged for, and their marriage was tlie result. Teel's marsh, in Nevada, is the most productive borax field on the Pacific coast. Its deposit covers ten square miles of surface, and is said to include chemically pure common salt borax in three forms, 'sulphate of soda and carbonate of soda. The basin of Nevada in which it is situated is covered in many parts with dry, eirlorescent salts, washeu in course of aues from the soda feldspar of the volcanic ro-ks and ridges of yellow lava which cover the country for miles. The waters of the lakes are heavy, appear like thin oil, smell like soap, possess great detersive qualities, are caustic as potash and easily soorify. It is comfortable, in these days of heat, to read of ?- cool a place as ''Labrador,' which will be tlie subject of the leading illustrated I aper in the September Harper's. Mr. C. II. 'arnham will tell the story of his cruise in the canoe Allegro about that part of the coast of Labrador on the Gulf of St. Lawrence between the Saguenay and Belle Isle. One of his curious adventures was his meeting with the "County Court-house" arlost on the bay the yacht Rubv, in which the Circuit Judge makes his vearly rounds. The article will be fully illustrated from Mr. Farnham's sketches.

AN INDIANA MOB. The So-called Knight of the Switch Agaiu in tlie Saddle in Harrison Comity. Courier Journal. I Only a few days ago the Courier Journal gave än account of the infamous savagery of self-constituted regulators in Harrison County, Indiana, who are known as the "Knights of the Switch." The recital was of a character to make one's blood run chill, a he whipping of helpless women till they fell exhausted into pools of blood drawn from their backs by their merciless and more than barbarous torturers; the taking of old men from their bed-? at midnight.' lashing them to trees and whipping them on the bare back till they fainted, and were left more dead than alive to languish from their wounds for weeks; the whipping of a husband while his poor wife and children, half crazed from fright, were held by a part of the mob and coniiK-lled to witness the torture of the husband and father from the one hundred lashes laid ti mn his bare back, are some of the harrowing incidents in the work of this gang of Harrison Countv savages. They were on the road again Sunday night in Washington Township. They went to the house ot" a man who had incurred their displeasure. It was midnight when they arrived. Half a dozen of the thirty or forty of tlie night-raiders dismounted aiid went to the man's door and knocked. When he aroM? from Iiis bed and oper.ed the door he was seized bv these fellows and dragged out into the yard with many a cuff and kick and soon surrounded by a dozen or more of the gang. "We have come to notify you that you do not work enough to suit tis, and we give you notice now that unless you put in your time from sun up till sunset in labor on your farm, we'll come back again and give you one hundred lashes like this." said the spokesman. He brought down a long elastic hickory switch over the terrified man's shoulders. He was then permitted to return to his house, t.nd the mob rode away. The same night they visited a family in tlie edge of Taylor Township, and ordering the husband and father from his bed gave him a similar warning. Several other places were visited during the night and bundles of switches, with a note bearing the words "Take warnimr," left upon the doorsteps. This gang of brutes lias been operating in Harrion County for tue past live or six -cars. A number of them are known, and lave been recognized by the victims of their torture, and yet not one of them has ever Wen arrested or indicted for outlawry, though many of their acts exceed in cruel barbarism any of tlie acts of the Owen County Kentucky Kuklux, the Courier-Journal and it brave correspondent, Captain C. M. Merrill, were so active and speedy in breaking up. The reputation of Harrison County is Wing ruined by these lawless night-riders, and the oniccrs öf the law are responsible for tlie disgrace that lias come upon the county, because of their neglect to try to bring tlie marauders to justice. t'uhappr Man. Why jersist in ruining your digestion by eating unwholesome food; and keeping it ruined by doing nothing to restore it to usefulness and right action? Some think that dyspepsia is incurable. ' They are the ones who have never taken Brown's Iron Bitters. This valuable family medicine makes short work of the tormentor and saon enable the digestive apparatus to d'" its work. Mr. H. E."

WASHINGTON-LETTER.

Our -ms&ated Waeklj Lettaf Fraa tia " -'-- National Capital I V ' V V Something About Cieaernl Grant. Kt. Secretary ot the ary Hobfaon and Senator Pen Cameron. Washixotox, Ausruft 3. Of course, ererytliin about (Üraat that h to n had here u found interesting, but the most important and interesting thing in this line that has come to the surface in Washington just iuw is a portrait. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has a habit of making fine steel engravings of all the Presidents. This engraving the plates are retained and used upon bank notes, greenbacks and other productions of this sort. In the large and handsomely furnished room occupied by the head of tlie Bureau, your correspondent observed the other day a large frame filled with portraits of the Presidents. A glanceovcr them showed one face that was quite unfamiliar scarcely to be recognized as that of any man who has ever occupied tlie White Housenot iosille to be recognized as that of the dead ex-President, whose nam? is in everybody's mouth the world over. Yet under "it was'the name, "U. S. Grant." GENERAL C.EAXT. 'Is it tossihle that this is a portrait of General Grant?" your correspondent asked of the Chief of the Bureau who sat at his desk nearby. "Yes," he answered. "It is a portrait of Grant, and an excellent one, too, it was made by one of the best engravers we ever had, and cost S7.."0, which is the highest price paid for engraving a plate of this size." "It shows for itself that it is a line piece of work, but I didn't know that Grant ever wore his beard in this stvle. with onlv side whiskers, the lips and mouth and chin shaven. ' "No," he answered, "not one man in a thousand knows it, and very few would recognize this portrait as being "that of Grant. Iecause very few people ever saw him in this style of Ward or saw his picture in this way. "He only wore his beard in this way for a short time. It was during his first term as President that he shaved in this way, but only wore his beard in this manner for a few months, I am very glad he did, even for so short a time though, for it gives us a better idea of his face than we could have had without it. His face is, as you see, a very fine one, and showing strong character, tine, clearly cut lips, and a small but Ideasant mouth and a full projecting chin, t is a very valuable picture and one that will he prized by people who make tlm sort of thing a study,'' "Has it been used on any of our bank notes or anything of this kind'.'-' "No, not yet. We are not permitted to use the portrait of any living person on any of our bank notes or currency of any kind. It may be used now, probably will." "You make engravings of all the Presidents, do you?" "Portraits of all Presidents up to Cleveland have been made. Whether one will be made of him has not Wen fully decided. It is also customary to make engravings of all Cabinet otticers." Here is the jortrait of Grant. The picture was made during his first term, as stated a! Hive. He did not wear his beard in this style for any considerable time. He did not rind it so satisfactory either to himself or to his friends and family as the full beard of his war days. The ortrait will be, however, greatly prized, for it really presents a better index to his character than did his full Leard. The call for Grant's Cabinet officers to attend the funeral brings to the surface smie interesting facts about them. It is a curious fact that only one out of the twenty-live men who were in the Cabinet during Grant's terms is now prominent in public life. This one is Don Cameron, who was Secretary of War after Belknap. Cameron did not cut muc h of a figure as Secretary of War. In fac t he does not make much of an impression upon the average observer in his present IH)sit!on as Senator, a place which will bring out whatever a man has in him if he hx-u-pics it as long as Cameron has been in that EX-SEC CETAET EOBESOX. service. Yet he is one of the most observed and asked for of any man in the Senate. He is about the last man in that body you would pick out for Don Cameron, for he does not justify in his appearance the name he lias as a shrewd politician. A rather tall, very slender looking with heavy browm mustache, with a young face and boyish manner, he is rather a surprise to those who ask for him from the galleries of the Senate. He seldom makes a speech in the Senate, and is not often heard of as a prominent advocate of any political measure. How odd it is that a man of this sort, with no apparent force of character or faculty of making a "record" should be the only one of the party of twenty-five who were members of Grant's Cabinet still remaining in public life in a national sense at leat. Six of the twenty-rive are dead. One, Hon. Alphonso Taft, ot Ohio, is just returning from his term of service as Minister t Russia and Austria. Williams is practicing law in Oregon. Tyner divides his time between Iowa and Washington. Criscll holds a josition of minor imiHirtance to which he was appointed by President Arthur, but which seldom brings him to the surface. Delano and Cox, of Ohio, are giving their time to their professions at home. Itobeson lias been reu reel by his constituent, and is practicing law. Belknap is doing a sort of lobbying business here, about the halls of Congress in winter, and in the departments in summer. Sherman has retired from his place at the head of the armv, and is now in St. Iouis. Brisj tow is practicing law In Kentucky. Of the twenty-live who were in i rants Cabinet, the one who was longest in the Cabinet was George M. Bobeson, Secretary of

the Navy. He. was nominated to that portion Juno 22, l.sfü, a short tim? after Grant"? first term begaji, an-d remaine-l in it to . the close of the eight years' administration. .; He, has been, as everybody knows, the subject of r.umWrless at.'aeUs, yet Grant i never lost faith in him. They

were warm friends. Ilolcson has some of 1 the same qualities that Graat had. an unflinching determination to carry oat his plan?, and an unwavering devotion to tho SENATOR IKN CAMERON. whom he considered his friends. He lias been a more prominent figure since the close of Grant's term tlian perhaps any member of the Cabinet, and has many warm friends among those who know him personally. He was the most prominent Cabinet officer under Grant, the longest time in the Cabinet, and in spite of tlie constant attacks upon him. has been the most active and prominent man of the list since the close of his term in that body. In this connection it may be of interest to give the names of the men who served in the Cabinet under Grant. Here they are: Secretaries of State, K. B. Washburn, of Illinois; Hamilton Fish, of New Nork; Secretaries of the Treasury George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts; William A. Richardson, of Massachusetts: Benjamin H. Bristow, of Kentucky; Lot M. Morrill, of Maine. Secretaries of War John M. Scborield, of Massachusetts; John A. P.awhns, of Illinois; William T. Sherman, of Ohio; William W. Belknap, of Iowa; James Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania: Alfonso Taft, of Ohio. Secretaries of the Navy Adolph E. Bjrie, of Pennsylvania; George M. Itobeson, of New Jersey. Secretaries of tlie Interior Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio; Columbus Delano, of Ohio; Zacharjah Chandler, of Michigan. Postmaster Generals John A. J. Creswell, of Maryland; James W. Marshall. Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut, James W.. Tyner, of Indiana. Attorney Generals EWnezer It. Hoar, of Massachusetts; Amos T. Atkerman, of Georgia; George H. Williams, of Oregon; Edwards IMcrrepont, of New York; Alfonso Taft, of Ohio. SAVING LAMAR'S LIFE. The Secret of Senator Ransom's Power Over the Secretary of the Interior. Washington Special in Cineinnati Cominereial(iawtte.l Three Southern "kunnels," one from Mississippi and two from North Carolina, sat in front of a noted hotel here, hugging the scant shade of a blistering morning. A malevolent and vindictive thermometer hung near by upon the casing of a door. In the tube the mercury had mounted slowly and mercilessly up to the figures "',:," and hung poised there in malicious triumph, pausing for another climb toward the "loo" goal it reached an hour later. The kunnels looked full of misery and calorie. They sat and steamed and sweat and mopied and swore. Their undershirts were hitched ui in warm, moist rolls across their backs, and, with wet, hot collars, they pulled at cigar stumps or ground their teeth savagely on liWral boluses of navy plug, and spit accurately at the Hies on the pavement. They looked mad, miserable and murderous. "Great goddlemity, did you ever see anything like this?" jerked out one of them. "It beats !" remarked a second. "S'help me Satan," rejoined the third, "I never got such a deal as this. My shoes are full of sweat. Something must have bust loose in the celestial economy. I wonder if there lias been a change of administration up there and some seraphic Mugwumps are trying to run the machine." "I could run things a good deal Wtter if I had charge," said one of the first shakers. "I'd have bree;:es without cyclones, and showers without fioods, and wives without women, and 1 wouldn't have it too warm in summer or too cold in winter, and I wouldn't have a man bald headed when lie needs hair or shed his teetn when he gets old and needs them most. I'd have whisky cooling in summer as well as warming in winter, and I'd make whisky and tolweco necessary to sustain life instead of such silly and vapid thing as bread and meat and water. And I'd Hello, there goes Lamar." "Yes," siiid another, "there gtes his body. Wonder where his mind is?" Lamar was passing slowly upon the opposite side of the street. A strange-looking figure. A cotton sun umbrella under his arm, his hands clasped behind him, hitching up their grip on one skirt of his long-tailed frock coat. A soft felt hat on bis head hindsiile in front, his hair Mowing down ujion his coat collar and his eves bent upon the ground. The bottom of one trouser leg was rolled up. probably a reminiscence of the shower a few days ago. "Queer old party, ain't he?" said one. "Yes," remarked the Misissippian, "but you bet he's a white man and just as smart as any of them." "I wonder what gives old man Random such a grip on him," said a North Carolinian. "He f (fiiw to get anything he wants and Vance does not stand any show. Ransom can fix up anything in live minutes with him. but he'll promise Vance and then forget all about it. I wonder what is the bulge Ransom lias on Lamar." "I'll tell you," said the Mississippian, bending over and drawing his forefinger, oint downward, across his forehead and giving it a flirt to throw off the drops of perspiration. "He paved Lamar's life onc e right down there in the Capitol." "Tell it to us, if it ain't too long. Whew, jimminey gosh, ain't it red-hot," growled a North Carolinian. "It was in the Forty-fourth Congress," began the Mississippi mnn, hitching up his pantaloons at the knew, banging an unlucky shadfly ten feet away vith a shot of tobacco juice and fanning with a straw hat. "Lamar was in the House. He had just finished his great speei h favoring the Electoral Commission and gone into the cloak room to brace up. Ransom came over and met Lamar in the chfak room and congratulated him upon his great effort. "Old Beverly Douglas was in the House from Virginia then though he's gone to a warmer place since then and he had been filling up bis tank pretty lively. He got on the warpath about I-amar's speech. He declared that Lamar was a double-dyed traitor to the South and the lost cause, and swore he would take his life. He went charging around after Lamar and broke into the cloak room just as Ransom was shaking hands with him. He out with a big revolver and cursing Lamar for . a traitor fit only for death drew a bead on him. Lamar was taken by surprise and had no chance to get his gun out. Ransom sprang on Douglas, throwing up his pistol arm and wrenching away the revolver, while Old Bev's finger was on the trigger. It was all done quick as a flah. "It was a narrow escape for Lamarand he has never forgotten it. and Ransom can do about as lie pleases with hint. Old Bev got sobered oil' in a day or two and wrote an apology to Imar, but just then lie would have killed him. sure as shooting, if it hadn't been for Ransom."

. JIM KEENE'S GREAT COUP. Tlie fttorjr of Iii Ilnttle With tho Ilooanji , ,Men Told by One Who W There.'

P"ew York Times. The story of the bogus map. which created a great deal of excitement among miningstock sjeeulators in California some fifteen years ago, has never, I think, been told in detail. A man who asserted himself to be one of the principal actors in tlie transaction Rave ine the particulars one windy night last winter, as we sat in a little mining cabin on cue of the bleak slopes of the Sierra Neva Jas, watchingr with hungry eyes our supper of bacon and flapjacks cooking on the stove. Jly frienJ, whom I will call ilill, was. flat on his back at the time, dead broke, but he talked as airily and familiarly of untold millions as though the. miserable shanty was a palace cm Nob Hill and the riapjack lie was tossing was a block of stock just ready to be hurled upon the market to make or" breau the fortunes of the day. At the time I refer to, "Jim'' Keene was just coming prominently into view among the little coterie of dashing speculators which, in thoe day?, ruled California street with a rod of iron. He was a large holder in the Consolidated Virginia and California mines on the Comstock; so heavy a holder. in fact, that be was allowed the privilege of having an expert in the mine to look aft?r His interests. The bonanza crowd, Flood, O'Brien, et al.. also held large blocks of stock, which they were trying to unload upon Keene, and in pursuance of this design were circulating rose-colored rejHDrts of extraordinary indications and rich strikes, esp?cially on the l,öo-foot level. Keene's expert accordingly turned all his attention to that part of the mine. Now. once in the labvrinth of drifts ami leads which constitute the big Comstock mines, it is, of course, impossible to obtain any idea of their toiography without the aid of instruments, and these 'he was not allowed to have. The expert, not to be outdone, had a small compass inserted in his watch locket, and also provided himself with a edonieter. By the aid of these he cou'd easily obtain data which would enable him to construct a tolerably correct map of the level, and so get at the" true condition of affairs. But on the second day he was detected and Mr. Keene was informed tnat his man could not enter the mine again. The expert went down to the "bay" and had a long- talk with Keene. He told him that, as far as he could judge, the mine was worthless, but, of course, could not support his assertions with proofs. The bonanza ieople, seeing that it was necessary to disarm any suspicions Keene might have, invited him to make a personal insiection of the mine. The drifts and leads to the big silver mines are generally boarded up at all sides by loosely-fitting planking. Through the chinks it is easy to see whether the drift is running through pay drift or through country of barren rock. The bonanza crowd salted three or four of the drifts Inputting ore Whind the boards and Keene Avas then shown through. There were millions in sight everywhere and they kept leading him backwards and forwards through the salted leads until lie should suppose he had seen the entire level. Keene went back to San Eranciscs not knowing what to think. Naturally he susIected the bonanza jeople, and "there was the evidence or his expert. On the the other hand, he knew what he had seen with his own eyes. In this emergency tlie expert telegraphed in cipher to Hill, who was then in Virginia City, saying that the bonanza people were alnaut to "lay down" on Keene, and asking him if he could do anything to prevent it. Hill went at once to the foreman of the mine and tried to briW him to tell him the real condition of the mine. Failing in this, he remembered that lie knew a shift Wfcs on that particular level. He knew him to be an intelligent young fellow, and that he had taken very full notes about the real condition of the mine at that point. Headdressed himself to him and finally succeeded in obtaining his note-book. With that as a guide, Hill drew a map of the 1,300-foot level, showing all the tlrifts, ore deposits, etc. in fact, describing with minute particularity the mine as it really was. The two men went to San Francisco and had an interview with Keene. After carefully examining the map, Keene expressed himself as satisfied that the mine was worthless. In return for the service that they had done him, Keene gave Hill and his tartner 100,000 margin at his broker's. The stock was to be cut np into smaller shares in a few days, and Hill determined to buy first, believing that the stock would advance a joint or two on the division. Then his plan was to sell everything short on the merit of the mine. They told Kerne what they proposed to do. He" bluntly advised them to sell short at once, ami when they persisted told them that he intended in that case to sell a hundred thousand himself to cover his own interests. They disregarded Iiis advice and bought. The next day, to their horror, the map, neatly lithographed, was bu'g out on California street. Amidst the most intense excitement the stock commenced to fall. The newspapers came out with broadsides on the criminality of libels for speculative purjoses, and tlie bonanza people offered a heavy sum for the apprehension of the author of the "bogus map," as it was called. But it was of no use. The facts were there, and the stock fell. In a few hours it went down 10, 20. then 30 H)ints. Fortunes were made and other fortunes swept away in a twinkling, while millions of dollars changed hands. Hill and Iiis partner lost, of course, with the rest of the unfortunates who were on the wrong side of the market. Keene. who had dijosed first of his own stock, sold everything short, clearing by the coup several millions, while the bonanza, crowd iost between them a ten score of moderate fortunes. "Of course," said Hill, as he applied himself to the fruits of his culinary efforts, "we didn't really lose anything, for'the $100,000 we had belonged to Keene, and we only bad the use of it as a margin. Sometimes, though, I wish I hadn't thought I knew more about stocks than Jim Keene, and had taken his advice. If I had we would have cleared something1 handsome. But, you see. I never dreamed he would have the nerve to hang that map out on the street and bring everything down with a rush," FAITH IN PRAYER. The Hemarkahle Cure of a Helpless Invalid in South Carolina. EiHiEFiKLD, S. C, August 1. Great interest is manifested here over a faith cure, in which the lady cured is of such high standing as to render her assertions worthy of credence. Tlie person is Mrs. Clemantine Morgan, wife of Mr. J. G. Morgan. MrsMorgan is the daughter of Rev. Mark M. Bovd, and a sister of Reverends Geo. Marion and "Pet" Boyd, of the South Carolina Conference. Mrs. Morgan is now forty-three years old, and has been an invalid for "many years. Her affliction commenced at the age of sixteen, and consisted of a gradual loss of the muscular power of the lower limbs. The attiiction appeared first in her knees, and extended until in a few years she was an invalid, unable to get up or down or scarcely walk across the fitHjr without assistance. Nine years ago she fell down an ordinary stairway and broke her right ankle and right arm. The fractured limbs healed, but Mrs. Morgan was more helpless than Wfore. Three and a half years ago she received ananother fall. She was standing up, supporting herself by the bed. The bed was accidentally moved. This threw her from her balance, and being unable to move either foot, soe fell backward to the Moor, breaking her left thigh and sustaining other injuries natural from her heavy weight and utterly hebdess condition. Since this accident, while retaining a" partial use of her hands and arms, although unable to get them to her head, she has been completely helpless in 1 h m I y , unable to turn herself in bsl or lift her feet from the floor. Hcr rolling chair has been her constant companion by day. an I from this si e was placed in her bed at night, and she moved only as she was assisted. Her spine was stiff and curved backwards, and one of her feet was drawn sideways, so tint

the bottom roulJ scarcely be made to touch tha tioor. - Tnis has been her condition for more than three years. J.Irs. Morgnn ha? been bright in mind, cheerful in spirits, and hopeful. She believed that Go I would, wlitn she . got free of sin, bring her body right. Strangely impressed with this convictian, she took what she regards as the initial step to what slicv confidently believes will W " a happy consummation. She wrote to a female faith doctor in New York describing- her condition. This correspondence resulted in the appointment of Wednesday night. July Hi. at S:;W o'clock, as the hour in which" she and others of ber friends Mould offer special prayer for the ariiicted woman. Mrs. Morgan was not unmindful of the hour, and when it came several women joined with her in this special effort. That night Mrs. Morgan had a dream, or vision, fjhe described what she saw. Her manner of describing the scene is expressive of her faith and earnestness and is touching i.t the extreme. The next morning she discarded her rolling- chair, and she can now walk unassisted. She can aLo get in and out of Wd. rai.se up and down, turn over, dress and undre?s herself, raise her hands tver her head, herspineisstraightand natural, her limbs, which were much swollen. and evidently dronsical, have swagal to their natural condition. The color lias returned to her skin and she says she is in every respect cpuitc well. "I am "growing daily," she said. "Growing in grace, growing in faith and growing in strength, and 1 have not the slightest doubt that my restoration wi.I be complete." Napoleon and Grout. From the Atlanta Constitution. Like Gen. Grant, the first Naioleon died of cancer. In his case the cancer was in the stomach instead of the throat. It caused him much severer pain than Grant suffered. Toward the last he could not digest hiä foo I. He was tormented by a constant thirst. His pulse beat with a feverish quickness. He improved, grew worse, and had all the hope, depression and despair that marked Grant's illness. Unlike the American soldier, he did not retain his mental faculties to the lat. The circumstances were different. Najnleon was a vanquished man, a prisoner, deserted by his wife, and surrounded only by the members of Iiis military family. " His last words referred to his son and tlie army, (irant not only suffered less, but his last hours were brightened by a thousand loving words and tributes from wife and children", old army comrades, his former fees, and the most distinguished men of the world.

Favment to singers ha sometimes taken an odd form. When Mile. Zeile, a vocalist from the Theater Lyrique at Paris, was making a professional tour round the world some years ago, she gave a concert in the Society islands. She agreed to sing an air from "Norma" and a few other songs, and was to get a third of the receipts. When counted the prima donna's share was found to consist öf three pigs, twenty-three turkeys, fortyfour chickens, 5,000 cocoanuts, besides a .""lantity of bananas, lemons and oranges.
