SAD FATE OF A MORMON GIRL. The Story ot Mary Lee and of Her Ttwo Lovers. I Je r leb o Valley. Utah, Utter to New York Sun.J Sixteen years ago Samuel Bates, a Mormon, then the possessor of two wives, Ann and Jane, the latter being childless, took Wary Lee, an orphan, to bring up according to the rites of the Church of the Latter Day 8aint3. As Ann had many children to comfort her the babe was placed in charts of Jane, a devout Mormon, herself born in the faith. Mary Lee's parents were from England. Her mother was a delicate little woman, well remembered by many here as a tearful and unhappy person. Times were hard with them when they first appeared here, and they grew harder for some reason. Just as her husband waa a boat to take a second wife, evidently against the wishes ot the companion of her youth, he was killed in a snow slide, and three months after that bis widow died, some said of a broken heart, leaving little Mary alone in the world. Samuel Bates was something of a man among the Mormons. He was called Brother Bates. His first wife was a hard, coarse woman, bnt Jane, to whom the little orphan went, waa tender, rather good looking, and filled with a stern and unbending faith in the divinity of her religion and a determination to "live" it to the end. The Child which thus fell to her partook of her dead mother's disposition. As she grew to womanhood she became fair to a degree not often seen in these parts, but in spirit she was gloomy, sad and reticent. Sarrounded by Mormons and taught by the pious Jane, she became almost a fanatic on the subject of religion herself, and readily accepted all that was instilled into her mind as the inspiration of the Lord. A year or two ao Mary Lee became acquainted with a young man living in a mining camp not far from here, a Gentile, of course, as no Mormon delves for gold or Biver. The youth, Seth Bartley by name, rarely lost an opportunity to pay the girl little attentions, and at length it became the rumor that he was her accepted lover. She would stroll away to the foot-hills to meet him; of evenings they would be seen by the mountain broocLwhich winds through the town, and ojanday afternoons, particularly whencprother Bates was away from home.fthey would be riding or walking together. Jane made no opposition to the intimacy, but when Erother Bites' attention wa3 called to the matter he felt that It waa his duty to interfere. Little by little Jane's mind was won over to his way of thinking, though at first she had been unsuspecting. Bently was forbidden the house, and the girl was told that she must never meet him again. Bat they met after this, not as a result of Mary's disobedience, but by reason of Bently's persistence. He found her one day last summer down by the brook, and when she would have ran from him he caught her, and, holding her closely, he told her of his affection for her, and entreated her to become his wife, and in return received some encouragement. From that time on they met occasionally, unknown to Brother Bates or Jane. In September Ero. Bates went to Nev Mexico on an exhortation tour, and when he returned In October he brought back with him a Mormon Eider named Cratty, who, seeing Mary Lee, bethought him that he would like to take another wi'e his fifth ad he accordingly broached the subject to her on the second day after his arrival. The girl repelled him with horror, but he pressed his suit, and at length brought Ero. Bates to his assistance. At first Jane opposed the proposition. Sie was a sincere Mormon, but her affection for her foster-child got the better of her faith for a time, and until she could be placated Elder Cratty had to hang his harp on the willow. The means resorted to to bring Jane to see the error of her ways are familiar to all who have had intercourse with the strange people who inhabit these valleys. Brother Bates had a vis-'on. Tue a Elder Cratty had a vision. Then a bishop who was passing through Jerbho Valley had a vision. Then the SaDday-school Superintendent, the Sunday-school teachers and the local elders and missionaries had visions. By a singular concensus of opinion all had been the same thing. Mary Lee was God's choice for Elder Cratty '"is wife. Still the girl, now most of the time in tears, like her unhappy mother, dead sixteen years, shrank from the proffer of the visitor and her foster mother, the kindly but superstitious Jane still demurred, though growing weaker and weaker in her opposition. The visions failing of the desired effect Elder Cratty and Brother Bates went np into the mountain sometime last month, and, fasting for fourteen days and nights, they wrestled with the Lord, and at the end of their vigil they were rewarded by seeiDg a great light and hearing a voice from Heaven saying that Eider Cratty should take Mary Lee to wife, and that further delay would b? both unseemly and dupiea9ing to the Lor 1. With this revelation and the further assurance that

a spirit had appeared nntj Cratty in a vision saying that if Mary L?e would marry him she would receive the requisite aSection for her husband by praying for it in the temple, tbe two wended their way homeward and cnoiuaica'ed to Jane the result of their prayers and f dating'. In tbe face of suc'a undoubted evidence of the Lord's approval that good woman could say no more, and taking tbe girl to cue side he advised her to give up her Gentile lover and cling to the husband selected for her by God, who had promised his servants that if she did not love him new the spirit would confer great and surpassing affection upon her at her nuptials. Mary Lee's own faith was strong, and her inclinations to follow the teachings of her religion was great; but it took many more interviews to bring her to admit that she had decided to obey the cammand. When she at last gave her consent there was much joy in Jericho Valley, and a great company was made up to go along with the wedding party to the temple. They were to start by waeons on a Monday moraing. When the sun came up over the mountain range that morning it saw Mary Lee down by the brook, revolver in hand, stone dead. She had risen during the night, and having sought a secluded spot, where she and Bently often met, she had taken her appeal at once to the Jude of all the earth. Her religion would net permit her to marry the man of her choice, and her womanhood revolted against the alliance which, according to earthly interpretation, the unseen powers had arranged lor her. Jadae Uolm&n'a Characteristic!. It'tica Observer.l Judge Holman, the great objector, has the gestures of a creaking pump handle. Ilia most famous objections, however, are made leaning forward from his desk with a pair of Iron spectacles in his hand, which he swings to and from as he lays down the law and the facts, Holman is not a very handsome man, and his voice is not that of a siren. Still his brain works well and he eeldom raake3 a point without being able to scstain it. He understands all about the expenses of the Government, knows to a fraction just how much ench employe gets a day aid can tell you the cost of every brick and stone ia the new pension buiidinar. He believes in stopping every If ale in the Government Treasury, aad It seems to ne he his hia pye too often on the spigot when the waste is going on from the bun?. There is a tradition here in Washington that Holman sometimes objects in his sleep, ani that it is said that he was once sitting in the barber's chair in the House, with his coat and vest off, when a matter of expenditure In which he was interested came up. Jt was about to pass when hs discovered the situation. lie gave the colored barber a shove, jumped from the chair, and rushed iut or to the floor, and there, with half of In mustache on and half off, with tbe lather on hij face and with a barber's apron Win Irom his, rck, he wtiCJillj

waved his arms and yelled "Mr. Speaker, I object!" The scene brought down the house. Holman stated hir point an! carried it In this he surpassed Judge Paeaa, who was taking his bath in the lower regions of the Capitol when an important measure passed the House.

"Our Knowledge of the Deep Sea." Professor Angelo Heilprin, says ths Philadelphia Ledger, gave a talk upon "Oar Knowledge of the Deep Sea." In introducing his subject Professor Heilprin said that, while oceanography is an old science, our present accurate knowledge dates from the present generation. Four hundred years ago nothing was known of the Pacific Ocean, and lw years ago we, for the first time, had an approximate appreciation of the relations of land and water. The proportion of land to water was considered to be as six to one, and in 1310 calculations were made to show that the earth could not be more than as one to two as compared with water. The process of measurement, however, Is very slow, and it is only OTfr a limited portion of the earth's surface that it has been carried. Present knowledge on the subject, however, places the absolute proportion as 1 to 2.76. Next, considering the question as to the nature of the trough of the sea, Trof. Heilprin referred to Von Humboldt's theory, that the water had made its own excavation, as one that was untenable; and as to the remarkable theory that the mass of the moon represents the substance taken away from the earth, and thus forming the trough of the sea, he said that there was not a particle of evidence in geology to confirm it. He .believed that the folds formed by the trough of the sea were due to the shrinkage of the earth's crust. The lecturer went on to say that there is not a single portion of the ocean bed haying an extent (excepting in a few instance in the cases of volcanic islands) of precipitate shore cliffs where the rise and fall exceeds a gradient of one in five. Oar knowledge as to the depth of the ocean, also, is quitrecent; the soundings showing an average depth of 12,000 feet and 27,000 feet greatest depth. Three peculiarities of the ocean bed which were pointed out were the regularity of the plateans, the absence of abrupt promontories aad the enormous elevation to which some of the promontories raise. The level character of the ocean plateaus, Professor Heilprin said, is due to the absence of those carving processes which are at work upon the land, the gradual leveling duwn resulting, not from the currents, but from the gradual accumulation of organic and inorganic material which has succeeded in finding a level. This remarkable character of the' prominences on the ocean bed was pointed out, one of the peaks in the Sandwich Islands raising to a height of over 30,OX feet irom the ocean bed, a greater elevation than any in the Himalayas. The configuration of the ocean bed and the gradual descent to the greatest depths were briefly described. The depth to which solar light penetrates into the ocean has been found to be only about 400 meters, or about four times as great as in the clear lakes of Switzerland. However, it is not impossible that a peculiar kind of illumination may penetrate to greater depths, and it is not the case that absolute darkness reigns in the deep sea. Phosphorescent light is found to be given forth by fishes, as well as from the lower forms of lite. Professor Heilprin next touched upon the color of the ocean and of lake waters. He said that Professor Tynd all's researches show that the black tint that is the characteristic f some water is due to tbe absorption of all rays of light; the blue tint is due to the absorption of some rays and the reflection of others, and the green and yellow tints indicate the presence of sediment in the water. The ocean water has a color of its own a light blue, and the green effect is due to the reflection of yellow light rays mixing with the blue; a yellow color shows considerable quantities of sediment, which overcomes the blue and green or blue alone. Until fifteen years ago it was the idea that the sediment from the earth was deposited all over the ocean's surface, but this is found not to be the case, the deposit being distributed along a very narrow line of Irom 200 to 300 miles. The oceanic fauna is divided into thres classes, the Littoral, the Peleglc and the Deep Sea. Theories as to animal life at great depth were disbelieved thirty years ago, experience having shown that along the coast line there was a rapid decrease of life from the surface, and the calculation was made that the zero point would be reached at about 1,200 feet below the surface. The rupture of the Mediterranean telegraph cable, however, settled the question, tbe ruptured ends showing that at a depth of 7,000 or 8 000 feet there were incrustations of coral life and living shells of various kinds. Now we know that animal forms are found at 17,000 feet including nearly all the principal types sponges, corals, worms, crustaceans and fiihes the greater number of them belnr merely j modifications of the forms foun 1 on tae I surface. A distinctive feature is found ia I the loo? ness of the tissues.due probably to the amount of pressure to which they are subjected, it having been computed that at a depth of 12,(00 feet, or less than the depth at which fish have been found, a man's body would be subject to a press ire equal to that exerted by twenty locomotives each drawing a train of cars loaded with iron. In order to explain how these delicate forms exist under such pressure, Professor Heilprin compared the pressure to that of the atmosphere, it being exerted in all directions and from what is practically an equilibrium. In cinclnsion, the lecturer referred to the calcareous deposits which cover the ocean bed over a greater part of its surface, representing the accumulation of tens of thousands of centurie?, and to the red clay deposits found at 17,000 feet and below, the shell deposits disappearing withing a distance of about a thousand feet As to the theory of the alternation of the land and sea, he said there was no doubt that the land was covered by the sea, but that there was ever land where there is now the sea there is no evidence up to this tune. Beat Them All. French Fan. I The conversation turned upon aged people. "My grandfather," said Covarot, "died at the age of ninety-four." "My grandmother was 103 when she died," remarked Tucin. "And in my family," put in Guiboilard, not to be outdone in boasting, "are several who ain't dead yet!" General John Robertson, aged eig'itythree, died at 8 o'clock last night in Detroit. He was a native ot Scotland ; settled in Detroit in 1510. Daring the war Governor Blair appointed him Adjutant-Gen-era of the State, an office he has ever since held.

FIFTEEN DOLLARS A WEEK.

Bow ma Income of 750 Tear Saatatas a Family of Four Persons. (Philadelphia Press J "I know there are men who are worse otT," waa the remark of a store clerk a day or two ago, "and that I ought to be thankful that I have good health and am in steady employment; but $15 is tbe closest possible work for a family of four persons, I can tell you. and it makes me envious, indeed, when I think how comfortable 1 could be if I only had $-3 more. I live up to my wages and cannot help It." There are so many men in various occupations who live up to very much larger ealaries. that sprR? curiosity was expressed as to how the $15 a-week clerk managed not to live beyond his. and yet support a wife aad two little children, aged four and sii respectively. He explained in a general way: "1 am not going to tell you how I married on $12 a week, and boarded until my second child was born, and then got a raise of wages to $1". That's neither here nor there. What I discovered was that people did not like children in a boarding-house, and I began to wonder what cn earth I was to do. However, my wife's uncle came to our rescue. He suggested we should take a little house way down town, and he would furnish it for us. There are plenty of nice little five or eix-roomed residences at the extremes of the city, en streets which are perfectly respectable and genteel and the rent only $10 or $12 a month.

Then we went into housekeeping in real earnest. EC0KOMIE? OF THE EEPPECTABLK POOR. "Now, you must understand that poor people like us have to live for the sake of living. The wife must be able and willing to wash all the clothes, do all the housework, bake the bread and be handy with her needle in the way of making over old clothes for the children. The husband must walk backward and forward from his work; must drink and smoke either not at all or only on rare occasions and find all his amusement and happiness in his child ren and wile. It is very much like slaving for a crust and a sup, lots of people say. and no doubt you have to be boru with a temperament which can be cheerful in poverty. I think I was. Bat to get back to my housekeeping. "Coal and light cost me l a week, sum mer and winter together.

Our kitchen is very comfortable, so we often sit there, Uread costs us 50 cents a week, that is, the flour, etc., cost about that amount Oar milk bill runs into 0 cents, as the children want a glass or so at meals. Cutter and groceries never exceed $2, vegetables $1, and meat another $2. Then we use about 50 cents for eggs. As for clothes, I put myself down for $50 a year, including boots. I buy serviceable things, and I always wear my oldest about tbe house. Another $-0 clcthes my wife and children, with $20 more for their hats and shoes.

That $10 represents wear and tear ot furniture, breakage, some little extra luxury, say, on a birthday or wedding anniversary, an extra pair of shoes and a hundred other wants. Tiie $1.80 over, sometimes a quarter less or more, according as the week goes, is the fund out of which I pay 20 cents a week insurance, buy a little beer and tobacco and an occasional tri tie for my wife.

It ia usually held that women are the weaker and more delicate sex, but to one who considers the modern fashion of dress the proposition must appear at least open to grave doubts. When on a bitterly cold day a man wrapped in a voluminous and mighty ulster, with fur cap drawn over his ears, and thick gloves, gets into a horsecar and sees sitting opposite a row of fragiledcoking young ladies in close-fitting gowns, of which the sleevesare so tight as necessarily to impede, if not wholly to stop circulation, with hats whose only aptitude is that of height, perched jauntily on the top of the head and no other pr tection to their small hands than the suggestion of kids, he must wonder how his neighbors manage to get on without freezing to death; and very likely wonders why it has never occurred to anybody to send on Arctic exploring expeditions wo ami who are so evidently indifferent to accidents of temperature rather than men who so inwardly find it impossible to rise above the weakness of yielding to the the theoretical connection between vital force and the dropping of the thermometer. Similar reflections may very likely arise in more festive scenes. A man when he puts himself into the low-cut waistcoat prescribed by fashion for evening wear, compromises with extra underclothing for the unaccustomed thinness of his dress. His sister, frail and delicate creature, wanders about drawing-rooms and unevenly heated parlors with neck, and arms bare, and Instead of dying of pneumonia before morning, as in compliance with all physiological laws she ought to do, sußers no inconvenience whatever. The truth li that give a man and a woman equal health at the start, the former barely manages to keep himself a'ive and well by the most constant and caref ul prudence, while the latter disregards all hygenic rules with a boldness and consistency beautiful to behold, and comes out all the better for it.

The truth ia that the idea of tbe fragility of the Bex is one of those popular taiias es which, like the unluckliuer of epoilliog salt or the uncanniness of Friday, should long ago have vanished before the advance of civilization and tbe general diffusion of knowledge, but which persistently hold their own despite of everything. It is very like the case of the old philosophier who said: "Everybody knows that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but it doesn't" Everybody knows that women are more delicate and fragile than men, but evidently all the same they are not. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY

A Rebel Soldier's BemarkaKle Tribute ta I a Brave Boy In Blue. IGrand Bapida (Mich.) Letter. In these days when the journals are filled with accounts of "great deeds done by preat men." let me tell you of my experience and of my hero. In March, Mt;, near Laurel Hill, in North Carolina, I, a member of the First Georgia Infantry, fell with a bullet through my arm in a skirmish with KII Patrick's cavalry. The same bullet entered my Eide and broke one of my ribs. Right was close at hand, and lying in a lonely place I stood small chance cf receiving aid. In this situation I was found by a band of guerrillas or bushwhackers, those vultures in human form who plundered the dead and dying on both sides alike. My watch was what they stopped for. Then my pockets were rifled, and a gold locket containing my wife's picture appropriated. I remonstrated in vain, and finally threatened vengeance if 1 lived. This maddened the leader, and coming close to me with a fearful oath, he said: "Kill the fool and stop his clamor." Judge of my consternation when in the speaker I recognized John M., my lifelong and mortal enemy on account of a feud I need not describe here. The recognition was mutual, and he drew his revolver and was about to fire, when one of his men said: "Captain, don't shoot hsre; we are too close to the Yanks!" "Well, then, bring a halter and hang the cur, for he fcball not escape me," he Baid. His men, five besides himself, hastened to obey, and, despite my demonstrations, soon had me under a tree with a noose about my neck and the rope over a limb, drawn so tight es to almost strangle me. I was told I had three minutes to live. M., revolver in hand, stood ready to give the word and I, in awful dread, awaited the sound of my enemy's voice. Just then steady hoof-beats sounded and a small cray horse, ridden by a slight-built boyish figure, burst into the little glade. He was fair-faced, with blue eyes, as I afterward toted, and dressed in "union blue." His long hair hung curling almof t to the collar of his jacket, and to me he looked as handsome a3 a woman and welcome as an angel. My first thought was a joyful hope of deliverance. My next, as I saw he was alone, a feeling of regret that one so fair and bold had come to almost certain death. I was not long in suspense. "Great Scotland!" he shouted. "What are you cowardly curs up to? Let that man loose for thame, to hang a wounded man !" The six ruffians drew their pistols, but their leader's voice cautioned them against firing. With a bound the strange horseman was beside me, and with the butt of his pistol he felled the man who held the rops. M.'s temper got the better of his fears then, and he fired the first shot. Then my deliverer turned facing the group, and again shouting "Great Scotland!" he rode right among them, firing with a pistol in each hand. Talk about fighting! 1 tell you that fair-faced, curly-haired Yankee boy was nothing el.se so much as a hurricane turned loose!" Before the man he had knocked down had recovered from the blow the other five were all down before his fire, and as No. G got on his feet and started to run, the little gray Wis after him like a Bhot. A second blow brought him to the ground, and my deliverer th8n sprang from his horse and bound the fellow to a tree with the same cord which was about my neck. He then came to me, and, with a touch gentle as a woman's, he examined my wounds, dressed and boad up my wounded arm and stanched the blood from my side. I essayed to thank him, but be stopped me with a laugh, and laid: "The cowards had you foul and meant mischief. I hated to dish them up this way, but tbey began the racket and I guess they deserved all they got. But I am away behind the column now and must get you'out of this quick and go on "4 He tossed rre into his saddle as though I bad been a child, mounted with me and took me to some negro cabins close by, where he left me with strict injunctions to the dtrkies to care for me. I think he gave the negroes money; anyhow, they nursed me until I could travel, gave me citizens' clothes, and eventually I got back to the wife I left, fully determined never to fight againbt the "Yankees" again, and I never did. I was reported killed in action, and never tried to have the mistake rectified during the war. As the brave little fellow turned to leave me I begged to know hia nanu. He laughed and said it was no matter, but I pleaded for it, and on a piece of a letter he penciled an address and put it in my pocket. The bloo 1 from my wjund partly obliterated it, but it still shows: "D. Hurlbut, Company D, U. 8. S." I do not know what State trocps these may be, or whether my deliver be living qr dead. But be was and is the bravest and kindest man I ever saw and as good a fighter as ever rode a horse in either army. My wife and 1 revere his memory as we would a saint's, and my children have bee a taught to pray for blessings on his head. I have traveled much, ana now am going home. If any one seeiner this can give me his address.or tell me what his fate was, I shall be very glad to hear. But I fear that one so almost recklessly bold as to risk what he risked for me, a stranger, and a Confederate soldier at that, hardly escaped death in battle. Trim this sketch into better shape if you will, but in justice to the boldest boy that ever rode into the Confederacy, give it a place in your columns. Respectfully yours, Jonjf St. Ci.air, Late of Company A, Georgia Infantry, Columbia, 8. C. Old Prescription J, amber. IShamokln Times. "I waa sitting in a drug store one day," said another of the party, when a gentleman with a very red face and white hair came in, and, taking a little slip of paper from his pocket, said to the prescription clerk : 'George, I wish you would take your files and look back about twenty years and tell what physician signed these numbers.' The flies were produced, bound in volames of 500 prescriptions each, and a list of tome dozen or more numbers read off by the anxious inquirer revealed that they were signed by Dr. D. D.

CELEBRATED CLOCKS.

Another Kiog of Spain came to Geneva to bf e a clock which had been made by Drcz, a merchant cf that city. Upon the clock were seated a shepherd, a negro aad a dog. As the hour was struck, the shepherd played upon his flute, and the dog played gently at his feet. But when the King reached forth to touch an apple that hung from a tree under which the shepherd rested tbe dog Hew at him and larked so furiously that a lire dog answered him, and tbe whole party left in haste. Venturing to return, one of the courtiers asted thö negro in Spana what time it was. There was no reply, but when the question was repeated in French nn answer was iven.

The most remarkable clock in America, if we consider the place in which it was built, is the one that was made by a miner in the Hallenback colliery, at Wilkesbarre, Pa. This clock was made out of bits of board and iron, and with the roughest tools that can be imagined. It wai made nearly half a mile underground and it occupied the maker nine years before he could eay it was done. The clock is about nine feet high, and there are sixty-three figures that move by machinery. There are only twenty-two moving figures in the Strasburg clock. On the front of the Wilkesbarre clock the one we are speaking of there are three shelves or balconies. Along the lower balcony a mounted General leads a file of Continental soldiers. Tbe liberty bell rings and a sentinel salutes the procession. A door in the upper balcony opens and shows Molly Pitcher, who fires her historic cannon, the smoke of which is blown away from the interior of the clock by a fan. Then the portraits of the first twenty Presidents of the United States pass along in a kind of panorama, the Declaration of Independence being held aloft by Thomas Jeflerson. Ou another of the balconies the twelve apostles go by ; Satan comes out, and the cock crows for the benefit of Peter. When Christ appears a figure of Justice raises a pair of scales, while a figure of leath tolls the minutes upon a bell. THE EDITOR AND HIS SON. 151)1 Nje Relates a Mournful Incident In Journalistic Life. New York World J I have been thinking for several weeks over what a great contributor to the World recently said about turning night into day and day into night. Tbe more I think about it the more I think he is right. Sittirg up nights until away along into the fchack of the evening in order to bathe one's immortal soul in champagne and tell anecdotes and make speeches and clutch at the table cloth and drink a glass of oil and vinegar that some one has substituted for your own, and then go home and sprain your ankle trying to mount a skittish bed, is injurious and pernicious and I have about decided that when I get to be an old man I am going to do differently. Your contributor is right when he says that this kind of work wears oat its generation and compels us to brine in a generation of farmers' sons and village boys to replace it. Then the farmers' sons and village boys do the same thing and appa ently enjoy iL But it is not alone the late dinner and the recoil of Mr. Mumu'i celebrate d infernal machine that is wearing out n large army of our brightest and best men. It is wearing and destructive to the tissues, ot course, to sit through the majority of the night eating sweet cake and trying to laugh at anecdotes that you have frequently heard before; but people who do this do it from necessity; they can not evade it. But if we call this damaging and deplore it in them, what shall we say of those men who do it voluntarily? What shall we say of the newspaper man who fcleeps all the forenoon in order that be may dawdle about the office of a morning paper all night, thinking thoughts and penciling them off for the public, or pawing around over a wad of " manifold " and writing startling heads to dull telegrams naif the night, while his wife, who has taken time by the forelock and done her work during daylight, is in bed? I know that there are men who have been connected with journalism for years, who maintain that it is not a habit, but that with them it is absolutely necessary. For this reason I consulted Mr. James Miggleson, of Asheville, who edits the Daily Jimplecute, a morning paper of this place, and lea,raed from him that it is not necessary lo sit up nights in order to run a morning paper. SOfcthe wives and mothers of morning jnrnaligts and printers of New York should no liZT be deceived by this tlmehonored fraud upon iafr trusting natures. hit. Miggleson says that a rattling good morning paper can be worked off tu.2 press by supper-time, and the evening res srved for social intercourse. And yet I know a pale, studious newspaper man, with silver in his hair, a man in whose mouth butter .would scarcely melt, who has, for twenty years and more, bamboozled his trusting wife and grown-up son with this transparent fraud. He told me only a short time ago, with genuine pathos, that the first time he had seen his own son by daylight was last fall. He said that his son came of age last Ostober, and through the courtesy of a mutual friend (the young man's mother) he had the pleasure of meeting him on election day and forming an acquaintance which be says may yet ripen into a strong friendship. I have another acquaintance who assists in editing a morning paper, but he does not believe in allowing his children to utterly forget him. He does not want his boys to think they are orphans j ust because he is not always at home. He is a man of very strong will and a strict disciplinarian. Bo he gets a holiday every two weeks in order to go home and do up his punishing. One time he found that his eldest or oldest son I do not know which because I am away from home without my library had violated the rules of the house in a sad manner. ajj new as lm Me, to com t the

facte, the boy had taken a quart of corn and tewed a long thread tarongh each kernel, showing great patience and perseverance m so doing. He had then tied the ends ot the threads ail together into one knot, and scattered the corn where a large flock of sheep had been in the ha'jit of associating and pooling for mutual profit and improvement. A man who came along that wiy about dusk said he saw about thirty geese standing around in a circle looking reproachfuJIy at each other, and trying to agree upon some method by which they could all go home together without turning a part of their crowd wrong side out, while behind a high board fence there was a boy who seemed to be enjoying himself in a small way. The incident was reported to the boy's faber, who came home and placed his eon untfer a Ja-s Ztj fcoods box in the c-l'.ar, after which he plied S'A or 400 pounds of coal on top of the inverted box. lie then mede a few remarks for the bov's good, Which were followed by the smothered remark, ''Rats!" from the inside of the bax. After ordering that the box should not be disturbed until his return, my friend put on his coat and went back to his work. This was just as the returns began to return in the autumn of '81. My friend did not go home for two weeks, and forgot all about the boy till it came time to do up his punishment for the fortnight. When the truth flashed over him he was filled with the keenest remorse, and went home as soon as he had sent in the last proof, but when be went down the cellar hs found the box empty and the following note written on it with a pencil: "Dear Taw do not weap for me i have went away from my happy home whare I was onct so gay and free do Not assassanate maw becuz she Pride up the box with a stick Of cord wood yesterday and fed me she left the box So i could Bast 4th i am gone Far Far Away do not weap for me it is belter for you and me to be Apart, ennyhow it ia better for Me to be apart i like being Apart a Good deal better i think i will take a ham and gar of Pieserves of which i am pashionately fond but i will renumerate you some Day as heaven Is my jag so no moar at Present from your proddigle 8on Henry." Asheville, N. C, March 3. Bill Isye. GARLAND FOR COMMISSIONER.

Ramor That IIa 1 to be Removed From the Attorney-Generalship. Washington Special to tbe World. The Railway Commission will be named within a day or two. There is reason still to believe that the three persons heretofore named in- these dispatches, Morrison, Bragg; of Alabama, and Cooley, will be selected. It has been quite freely circulated to-day that the President is desirous of taking Mr. Garland from the Cabinet and placing him at the head of the commission. It is true tbe question has been discussed by the President, but it Is not at all likely such a thing will be done. Tne alleged proposed plan is to transfer Mr. Vilas to the Department of Justice and succeed Mr. Yiias with ex-Sftnator McDonald, of Indiana, as Postmaster-General. In answer to an inquiry by the World correspondent, Mr. McDonald said: "So far as I know there's not the least foundation for the rumors. Certainly none as far as my name is concerned." Mr. Vilas and Mr. Garland disclaimed any knowledge of the proposed change. The railroad passenger agents who called upon the President to-day expressed the hope that the commission would be named as soon as possible, as they had many qestions to refer to it. The President assured them that he had about completed the list und would be able to accommodate the railroad people in a little while. A number of them requested the President to appoint good business men, and not politicians without knowledge of the transportation business. Just ia Time to Be Too Late. ILlfe.

RULED II V rUCH'OICE. Few persona realize Low thoroughly they are controlled by prejudice evea to their own disadvantage. For many vein the treatment of rhecmatism, neuraLi, sciatica and headache has been by some oatward application, and. therefore, without fitoppiDg to think that the origin of these troubles mutt, from necessity, be internal, the vrearv sufferer continues to rub, rub, and find no relief. Athiophoros is taken internally, and as a proof that this ia the correct principle, it cures surely and quickly. The etatemrnt of tbose who have beea cured ought to convince the incredulona. Crawfordeville, Ind. After trjing a number of medicines for the cure of rbeuniaü? m without benefit Athiophorus afforded me instant relief. It not only relitcd the pain, but I have tne' reason to believe thai it has worked a perfect cure, although my rheumatism was of many jtars standirs", and apparent'y chronic. T. L Streioht. Lebanon, Ind. We Lave sold Athiophoros to parties who have been to Hot Springs, Ark., and to Florida, and other expensive resorts to try to get relief from rheumatism. They eay tbey have received more relief from Ata lophoros thau from any other source. Physicians here take Athiophoros themselves for rheumatism, and prescribe it for other. We recommend it, and the aiHictedare pleased with it. LarG'Hi.i.v A Iltsino.v, Dru'gnts. A. F.

Every drngist should keep Athlop'ioroe and Athiophoros Pills, but where they cia not be bought of the drugrist the Athiophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athiophoros and 50 cents for Pills.

Or Black Leproey, is a disease which is considerel Incurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of Swirr's Srrcinc now known all over the world as S. S. S. ilrg. Bailey, of Vest Soinerville, Mims., near Boston, was attacked several yean ago with this hideous black eruption, and wu treated by the best medical talent, who could only aay that the disease was a epeciea of LEPROSY . and consequently incarable. It is" impossible to describe her euCeriDirs. ller body from the crown of her head to the soleaof her feet was a mass of decay, masses of flesh roUicgoQ and leaving great cavitiea. ller fingers festered and threjcr four nails dropped off at one time, ller limbs contracted by the fearful ulceration, and for several rears she did not leare her bed. ller weight was reduced from !23 to 60 lb. Perhaps some faiot idea of her condition can be cleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmoline or ointment were nsed per week in dressing her cores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat by this Black Volf, aDd commended the 'Allerer to her all-wise Creator. m t ller husband hearing wonderful reports of the tse f Iswirr's fcracmc tS. S. S.), prevailed on her to try it as a last resort. She began its H6e tinder protest, but soon found that her system was being relieved of the poison, as the sores assumed a red anl healthy color, as though the blood was becoming pnre and active. Sirs. Lailey contuined the S. 6. b. until last February; every eore was healed; ehe discarded chair and crutche, and was for the first time in twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Mr. V. A. Bailey, is in business at 17X Dlaekatone Street, listen, and will take pleasure in giving the details of this wonderful cure. Send to ns for Treitise 0a blood and Skin Diseases, mailed free.
