A story is told illustrative of the shnrpaoes of aa English laborer. Aa election was proceeding, and a reporter was offered a cigar by a friend, who happened to be the aeent of one of the candidate. The cigar w&a declined, whereupon the following colloquy took place between the agent and one or two laborers who were standing by: "You don't gTe us cigars, and we wan I'm more than he do." "You know that I am not allowed to," the agent replied. The rustic, however, resolved to drive a coach and horsea through the corrupt practices act and exclaimed: "Then why don't ye gi'e 'cm to him aad he gi'e 'em to us?" Three brothers bearing a remarkable resemblance to each other recently weat to the same barber shop, and oa the same day, to get shaved one going in the morning, tho other at noon and the third at night.

In view of the development of the past few dnys Mr. tvhartoa thought that nffair would . shape themselves that in ibe near future a stable government, the result of either an election or an aequie. fence in Hippotytc'- ascendancy, would arle to which Mr. Dottgluss could wit . propriety be accredited. ' While, of course.

His victory over Legitime and the establishment of a provisional government, to be followed later on by a constitutional government, will very 1 likely obviate the necessity for sending General Lew Wallace and Beverly Tucker as commissioners from this country to 1 look after the interest of United States citizens there. The necessity for this commission grew Out of . the fact nf the intimacy and possible combination between Legitime and the Fiench to the detriment of American interests.

As the stage was raaning along at a lively gait through the dense fforeif, when witbia about two miles of the staUon, a lone highwayman jumped oat in front of it, aad p-ilating two big By-r revolvers at taa uriver, commandetl hlni, in good Western style, to throw hp your hands." and extended Bav " revolvers at tni driver, com . i-i 1 mesame order to tne four passeugers inside the coach, with tha further provl. taat they "shell out" all their loose valnables and currency. One of the passenger passengers went down ia his pocket, but instead of bringing up his pocket-book, he clenched a pistol in his hand and began firing at the robber. Instead of being overcome by the sudden ness of his intended victim's move, the i robber returned the fire. Tbe driver 1 whipped up hk horses into a mad run, but the aim of the highwayman was true. D. Mnckechar, of the First National Ban's of Minneapolis, was shot through the cheek, and another bullet went through his leg. Another passenger named A. G. Fleeschbeln, of Ashland, was mortally wounded. Ho raised up in his seat a the horses were whipped awaf just la time to receive a bullet in the hip. Ho fell forward and pitched over the side of the coach into the roadway. The atae horses continued on a run and the wounded man was left to take his chances with the robber. The villain threatened to kill Fleeschbein, but finally desisted after securing thirty-rive dollars and tho victim's watch and chaiu. The wounded man lay bleeding in the road for three hours before any one courageous enough to go to his succor was secured. He was taken to a hospital at Bessemer, but tho loss of blood was so great as to blight all hope of recovery. Physltianssay he will not live over night. Mackechar was taken to Eagle River aad treated, and from there taken to his home at Minneapolis. There are grave doubts as to his recovery, too. There were two oilier passengers oa the coach, but neither ot them wero wounded. They were William t'addon, of No. l.'sl Washington street, Chicago, and Robert Hiulout, ot the Hank of Montreal, Chicago. The party was out on a fishing trip, aud was composed ot wealthy men.

Mtt.WAUKKK Wis,. Aug. ST. General W. T. Hhertnan sat for over three hours to-day In the oiaxiug sua oa the reviewing staud ia Washington Square while the boys ia blue filed by. The annual parade of the Oraud Army was a brilliant success, and it whs rendered doubly interesting from the fact that it may be the last that "Old Tr.tiiaii" iflliuiseil Will witness. It wan the hottest dav of the year, and the sun beat dawn with remorseless fury; bet the veterans turned out in force, and the line of march, n distance of over two and a half miles, was picked with spectators, nearly 30.0)0 of whom had arrived since Miiidowu yeslerdny. Mr. Logan, escorted by Major Veey,j of Vermont, and Mrs. Alger and daughter occupied the front seats of the reviewing stand, and the widow of the ex- I Senator and Geiutrnl ml nu otitltnivuiaf to was accordgreeting by the veterans hs they passed by. The parade started at a tew minutes past teu and the rear had not reached the stanu at one o'ciock. The Missouri Ue e- ! gation occunied the rijlit of line, the vexd question having been conceded by the Illiiioislaus. General Sherman sIom1 up, bareheaded as Hansom Post, of St. Louis bis own post marched by, and there was a suspicious moisture iu his eyes when they stopped and gave him a three times three. Niue out of every tea of the bauds rendered "Marching through Georgia" as they neared the stand, and his patience was surely tried. Occasionally a veteran iu the ranks (would break out with a sally at his old General. One called out: "Oh, yon'll live tofljjht through auotuer war," while another shouted: "How about those chickens" To the latter interrogatory, General Sherman, who was as tickled as w school-boy, replied: "Oh, I never took the trouble to inquire where they cauie .from." General Alger marched afoot with ths Phil Kearney Post, of Muskegon. Mich.. receiving a continuous ovation, while 1 Corporal Tanner, who rode in a carriage . between the New York delegation, was I received almost all along the line with a trigtusiieuce. The Kentucky delegation carried at its "v" '"D " ''B ' in nrai iiegihilUll til. ini.,.u,l S.M 0 At. . ft4. II . ! meut Arffly of tu Cumberland, and there were a number of similar incidents. Captain Meredith, chief of the Bureau of Eugravlng, marched with the Oak Park (III.) post. All the nosts presented a fine appearance, but by far the largest showing was , made by iseousin. The jKirado was in I uine divisions, the Sons of Veterans i bringing up the rear. When opposite the I reviewing stand the horse ridden by Commander-in-Chief Warner shied considerably, and the ox- Congressman was comt peled to borrow a whip and give the aaif mal a severe thrishiug before It mended ia way. The Pennsylvania delegation made the best appearance of any iu the line, aud were conspicuous for their soldierly bearing throughout the entire parade. There were two maguificent spectacles to be seen about the time the parade started. One was olwervable from , tne intersection of Eighth street on 1 Grand avenue, looking down the avenue to the bridge.

It was grand and imposing, and how gay it all j looked witbal! There was breeze euougli j to keep the banners and flags tlutteriug. With the lively movements of the com rades and the people all dancing to ths same joyous nmelc. The other spectacle was from Tenth street up Grand avenue. In the foreground was the solid phalaux of human 1 beings, a sort of atmosphere of bright j colors and good nature covering it all; a J little further on was the reviewing stand j with its drapery and freight otdlgtiitnries and newspaper men; then, in the distance, the yellow plumes of the light-horse squadron moving down the hill at the head of the great column, between solid walls of cheering humanity. How proudly the plumes 011 the helmets of the squadron waved, and the very horses seemed couscious of the honor conferred on the squadron in being , the first company of State troops ever asked to join the annual parade of the urauu Army. It is estimated that ftt,009 veterans were in Hue. The Hue of inarch was changed at such a late hour that fully as uiauy more were on the streets as spectators. The chatige was made as a compliment to Captain I'abst, of the Pabst Brewing Company, who ho generously defrayed the expense of erecting 40,0)0 seats ou the Lake front, which are to be occupied by no oae but the boys in blue and their wives during the naval battle on Thursday evening. The cost of construction is estimated at $12,000.

Ytarhj Meritcc probably like the j jne at which David wan anointed. (See .essonS.) This was not perfect truth, but : .no jjiuic unit ninn-a mu laci, Mnll UIH'B not , ipprove it. Moreover, we must judge of :he guilty by the light of those clays, not by urs. 11. Coisf, let ns go out, etc: The itory of David's escape is told in the latter ?art of the chapter. Lkssox Facts David was obliged to flee from Saul, and in his simplicity asked JonUhan what the cause of his father's anger igainsthim was. Jonathan comforted his friend, assuring him thut he would not be killed. To this David answers that Jonathan does not know the bitter spirit that his father cherishes, because bis father has hid it from bis eyes. Then David asked bis friend to find out the true inwardness of tho King, so that he may know how to govern himself. This Jonathan promises to do, and they make an arrangement as to how Jonathan shall let his friend know what he find out about the mind of tbe King. In all thk Interview we see very clearly the grand spirit that Jonathan has iu hk heart for his friend. Comments The root of all Saul's actions towards David was hidden deep down in his heart, and so in the lesson of to day we shall find the root ef all Jonathan's "con. duct towards David in the same njuce. In the former case, however, the root was onvy. In this case, it is love. And how different the fruitage 1 Call the scholar's attention to the grandeur of this love of Jonathan's towards his f rknd. Humanely eaking, if Saul had any occasion to envy David, Jonathan had more. Because, though David might uot attempt to seize the reins ot government during Saul's lifetime, he might more readily do so after the death of Saul. And of course this would prevent Jonathan from ever ascending the throne. That Jonathan often thought of this tbert can be no doubt. Yet all this raised no spirit of animosity at all in hk noble heart. Hut more than this. In spite of all temptations to be David's enemy, Jonathan, uot only refused to oppose him, hut ac.unlty helped him in many ways. And not only thk, but be helped him at his own great personal risk. It really seems as though Jonathan's thoughts were far more con cerncd for David's happiness and safety than for his own. When bo "fell in love with David" (I Sam. 1S:1), he gave up to him everything, and from that day on, to the end of his life, he clung to blra closer than a brother. As aa example of friendship between man and man, thk affection between Jonathan and David fully matches that between Ruth aad Naomi. Draw a parallel between the love ot Jonathan and David, and that of Jesus for us. Thk will not be hard to do, for ia every particular, while the one surpasses the other, it is yet like to iu For example, (a) the love of Jonathan for David cost him a heavy price So the love of Jesus cost Him a heavy price, even the outpouring of His life-blood. b) Jonathan's love brought him nothing but the mere joy of loving, and the pleasure he took in David's welfare. So with our Savkur. His love to us brought Him nothing, saving the joy and love and the pleasure of saving sinners, (c) Jonathan's lnva was steadfast unto the end. So Jesus, having loved His own, loved them to tho end. When, however, we have made all the comparisons we can, between the love of Jonathan to David, and the love of Jesus to us, we must go on br contrasts. Thus: (a) Uavkl never did anv Injury to Jonathan; but while we were yet sinners (enemies), m due time Christ died for us. (b) David never rejected Jonathan's love. But when Jesus came to His own. His own received Him not. He was despised and rejected, and yet He loved, (c) After David accepted Jonathan's friendship, be never wounded him. Hut Jesus can say that Ho has often been "wounded in the house of His friends," and yet He loves. It is this continuous love of Jesus for His creatures that is most amazing. Not that He loved us once with a divine but spasmodic love, loading him to make one final effort to save us, but that He loves right on, in spite of wanderings many and rebuffs many. Take Jonathan's wonderful love for I)avhl and multiply it by infinity, and ycti have the love of Christ towards every one. Itev. A. F. Schaufflcr. PRACTICAL SUOQr.STlONS. 1. The best friendships requires worth hi both parties. 2. Friendship is tested by adversity. 3. We grow like those we love. 4. True friendship exalts, ennobles, and blessos. 't. False friends, bad companions, are the ruin of many. ft, Jnsus Christ ia our best friend the noblest, most self-sacrificing, tlie closest, the most enduring. 7. W e should express our love te Him by words, by sacritiees, by gifts, by doing all we can for Him. Thk m are some things that do not change. The suulight and shadows bring their , old beauty and waken the okl heart strings at morning, noon and eventide. The little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty. And men still yearn for the reign of right eousness and peace still own that life to tie the highest which Is aoeaeckms voluntary sacrifice. George Eliot.

THE CAM Of SHOES. Mooes be Wats a ldr Oua Keep Mae IW.Uear la (leod tfoHdltloN, A woman who understand tkeeeot. my of dress will never buy a oheap fir f shoes. No poorer investment umh be mads, for besides giving out ia shorter time than a lirst-olaee artloU it will look shabby and worn long he-foi-a it should do so. lttit any shoe, ho matter how costly or well-shaped In the beginning, will lose lbs freshnese speedily if not properly oared for. This is especially applicable to those made of Krunoh kid, whlob every little bruise Htui touch turns purple. A rule observed by many woman, and a good? one it proves, loo, is never to waar i

street hoa In the house. It revet vee harder treatment, strange to suy, from numerous inevitable oollki.i.w u-tn. Kftioles of furniture than it would its double the amount of street wear. Another .sensible custom is to r. orvo a pair of boots for wet-wonthar wear, leaving them forieblu hug between timos. Vmbintolls against the benutv of footer o much as geitim? It w.o .i ... . . n niU with rubbers no amount f fiiur..,.. will prevent the ilnm skirts reaching the Htikk. Shoo fdiould lie removed immediately on arriving at home, the dut and n wiped away with a oleun. soft !., and then thev should h i together in a separate pocket of tho

bervire derived from oven an Inferior qtiHlity of leather. Never wear a shoo unbuttoned if you cere for its shapelinees, and never ba -ntislknl when you do button it if all those little necessaries aro not in place. The wearing of a shoe even once or twice with a pair or trio of buttons gone from it tells on Ite, appearance in the long run. Patent button-fasteners aro unsatisfactory, for if the shoe draws oven tho least bit about the ankles the metal clamps show, nnd even tho most persistent system of blackening faHs to keep thorn from looking brassy. A small box of round shoe-buttons with a curved needle and lengths course linon thread already cut should' have a placo in tho top drawer of every woman's dressing-case or chiffonier. Then tho task of replacing a missing button simplifies itself wonderfully. On children's shoos particularly the patent fastenings should never be used, for in their romps buttons, fasteners, leather and all are apt to dkapjiear. A good plan to carry out regarding shoes for the little ones is to rub ihem well withi rnstor oil before they are worn nt nil.' This makes the leather p'lable. fills up the pores, and presents it from cracking. For their every -day shoos once in two weeks is not too often to oil thorn. At first the oil will givo them a gray look, but after an hour or so Is passed the finish they show ia nice aud soft. If shoes get wet smooth thorn into

as good shape as possible and plnco thorn in a medium warm atmosphere ' to dry. This takes a longer timo

than if dried close to the lire, but they will be In much better condition when wanted. Leather hardened by drying too suddenly can be restored by the application of castor oil well rubbed in. Chicago Times. A LEARNED EMPEROR. Ie Ksatl Feurtsea 1'apsra a Day, Karh In a DlRwrent LangHagn.

Every morning tho Emperor roads more or loss of tho contents of fourteon papers, each of which is printed in a different dialect.

Tho Parliament, or Reichstag, as it is called, has just come out of a protracted debate upon the question of reporting the proceedings of tho Houso, and it is settled that only the speech us made in Gorman shall be taken and recorded by the official stenographers. A member of the Reichstag may still speak in his own tongue if ho pleases, but he must understand that what ho says will not bo reported or printed. This decision has caused considerable dissatisfaction among the delegates from districts where Gorman is not spoken. Still, German is the langnago of intercourse tn the Austrian Empire, and, with French, is tho language of Austria's diplomacy also."
