“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing-.” It is stated that the hospitals of Germany are now caring for 11.000 victims of delirium tremens, but information is lacking as to whether these unhappy mortals acquired their jags by means of the soothing • rager or some more active agent. The W. C. T. U. ’way out.in CalP" 'ornia have gone on the war path for grocery men who sell tobacco. They - will boycott all-such dealers. The world is going to be reformed very fast, if this can be regarded as an indication of what the future has in store for poster it y... No beer, no cigars, no scan, mans! The outlook is dreary for newspapers that delight in the sensational.

The death of Mrs. Amanda Frank, of Muncie, who was killed by lightning on —the evening of May 27 th was very remarkable, and discloses a new source of danger in a hitherto unthought-of direction. Mrs. Frank was standing under a wire clothes line, one end of which was attached to a tree fifty feet away. The lightning struck' the tree and the woman was killed instantly.—the wire acting as a conductor—and her shoes were torn into shreds. The entire body, limbs and hair were badly burned. Your share of the wealth of this great republic is $1,039. You may have more than this amount, but if you have less you will have to hustle to get that amount on the tax duplicate. In 1850 the total valuation of real and personal property in the United States was a little over $7,000,000,000, or S3OB per capita. In 1870 it was $30,000,000, or S7BO per capita. In 1880 it wa# $43,500,000,000, or SB7O per capita, while in 1890 it was $65,037,091,000, or $1,039 per capita. New York is the richest State in the Union with $8,500,000,000 valuation.

“Gentleman Jim’’ Corbett has scored as great a success in London social circles as he ever did in the fistic arena. He has been entertained and lionized.by the elite —peo--ple who would not dreaimiLassociating with Sullivan or Mitchell—every minute he has been able to spare from his theatrical engagements. His audiences at Drury Lane Theatre have been made up of the better class of people to the almost entire exclusion of the rough element that usually attends such performances"” A great music hall has offered him $2,500 weekly for the summer, but he will probably be unable to accept because of his engagements in other English cities as well as in Ireland and Paris.

People would do well to use caution when handling their ducks—genus “Anas boschas.” A poultry dealer qf Indianapolis has been arrested on complaint of the Humane Society on a charge of inhumanly tying the wings of innumerable fowls. Exhaust!ve expert testimony for and against the defendant was submitted. The Judge took the case under advisement and after conducting a series of experiments to determine whether tying a duck's wings over its back was cruelty to the bird, fined the offender $5 and costs. It does not appear of record, however, that the Judge was fined for his experiments, which were possibly as cruel as the original offense. •>

Tee great human ostrich died in London, last month, a martyr to his profession. He had for years astonished audiences with his remarkable capacity for absorbing indigestible substances—such as bullets, corks, leather, strings, tin foil, coins, pocket books, pipe stems, etc. Not satisfied with his achievements, he determined to add fishhooks to his bill of fare. It was too much for poor, weak human nature. An autopsy showed that one hook had perforated the man’s intestines, causing death. Quite an assortment of damaged hardware was rescued from the depths of gastric juice in which it had been for some time submerged. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of death from misadventure. The cruiser Michigan is supposed to hold up the dignity dnd impress Canadian authorities with the power and importance of the United States on the Great Lakes. The officers of this somewhat insignificant vessel receive full pay the same as if detailed for sea duty, and they appreciate

the “snap” to its full extefit, their positions being practically sinecures, without danger from any source. Even the subordinate marines who man the ship are &bl% by a little management, to have every other day off duty without incurring the pf -their -superibra or suffering any reduction of their salaries. The Keadquarters of this boat are at Erie. Pa.

Junius Henri Browne in a recent article in Harper’s Magazine,attempts to set a limit as to the lowest income that a man with a wife and two children cun live upon in anyth in g 1i ke Tes pee table sty 1 e in TNe r w YorbCity-, and places the amount at $2,000 to $2.500 per annum. ’ People who exist on a less amount are sup- ! posed to be enduring great hardi ships. The probability is that this distinguished author -is entirely incompetent to give a correct estimate of such mat tens. He‘flies . to., high” or he would be able to see hundreds of happy homes that are maintained on an income of half that amount, I and the people who enjoy Hfe on SI,OOO per year would not be classed as —belonging—-to the dependent classes, either, as Mr. Browne infers. Two thousand five hundred dollars per annum is not affluence, but it is a very handsome compe-" tence that would be deemed ample by a great majority of the fathers of America.

The stories that come from Washdreds of employes who have been discharged from the government printingoffice, ostensibly in the interests'of economy, are not calculated to increase the admiration of people ih general for official life on the lower rounds of the ladder of fame. Many of these people have had constant employment at high wages for ten years, yet have not enough money to buy a railroad ticket to their native towns. It is the old story of fast living? improvidence, dissipation, “wilful waste and woeful want.” More people are ruined by what they at first deem great good fortune in finding public employment than in all the private business enterprises of the country. In business life efficiency and faithfulness, as a rule,, count for something. In the publjp service the man with the strongest “pull” gets the job regardless of the injustice in displacing an efficient employe to make room for him An average man who can : make a dollar a day sawing wood is better off than any of the minor employes of Uncle Sam.

August in Kentucky.

From "A Kentucky Cardinal". Harper's Magazine for JlinC. In August the pale and delicate poetry of the Kentcky land makes itself felt as silence and. repose. Still skies, still woods, still sheets of forest water, still flocks and herds, long lanes winding without the sound of a traveler through fields of thc unn-ersakArooding stiHiressr The sun no longer blazing, but muffledin a veil of palest blue. No more black clouds rumbling and rushing up from the horizon, but a single white one brushing slowly against the zenith like the lost wing of a swan. Far beneath it, the silver-breasted hawk, using the cloud as his ' lordly parasol. The eagerness of spring gone, now alt but incredible as having ever existed; the birds hushed and hiding; the bee, so nimble once, fallen asleep over his own cider-press in the shadow of the golden apple. From the depths of the woods may come the notes of the cuckoo; but they strike the air more and more 'slowly, like the clack, clack, clack of a distant wheel that is being stopped at the close of harvest. From the whirring wings of the locust there flows one long last wave of abandoned sound, passing into silence. All nature a very sacred goblet, filling drop by drop to the brim and not to be shaken. But the stalks of the later flowers begin to be stuffed with hurrying bloom, lest they be too late; and the nighthawk rapidly mounts his stairway of flight higher and higher, higher and higher, as though he would rise above the warm white sea of atmosphere and breathe in cold ether.

Wrote a Death-Bed Repentance.

In the June number of the Century Prof. H. H. Boyesen writer an interesting sketch of the mother of the Russiamnovelisty Tourgueneff. Her life was one long tempest of passion, filled with cruelty to her serfs and abuse of her children. Her constant occupation in her declining years was playing at solitaire. Though she was suffering from dropsy and consulted the most famous physicians, she blandly disregarded their dietic rules and followed her own sovereign whim. For a long time she ate nothing but grapes, and finally her diet consisted solely of ice cream. For entertainmept her daughter read aloud to her the latest French novels. Before her death, Nov. 6, 1850, she sent for her sons, who both hastened to her bedside. But only Nicholas found his mother alive. When Ivan arrived she had already expired. Before drawing her iast breath she scrawled these lines on a piece oi paper: “My mother, my children, forgive me! And thou, Lord, forgive me. too; for pride—that mortal sin— was always my cardinal sin.”

AGITATED EXECUTIVE.

The Governor of Caesarea in a Dilemma. “Now Is the Accepted Time, Now Is the Day of Salvation”—Dr. Talmage’s - 4 Sermon forthePreiis Dr, Talmage, now enroute around the world, selected for his sermonic discourse for the press for last Sunday the subject of “The Excited Governor,” the text being Taken from Acts xxiv. 25: “Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” A city of marble was Cicsarea—wharves of marble, houses of marble, temples of marble. This being the ordinary architecture of the place, you may imagine something of the splendor of Governor Felix’s residence. In a room of that palace, floor tessellated, windows curtained, ceiling fretted, the whole scene affluent with Tyrian purple and stat-

ues and pictures and carvings, sat a . very-dark-complexioned man of the name of Felix,, and beside him a woman of extraordinary beauty, whom he had stolen by breaking up another domestic circle. She was only eighteen years of age, a princess by birth and unwittingly waiting for her doom- -that of being buried alive in the ashes and scoriae of Mt. —Vesuvius, which in sudden eruption one day put an end to her abominations. Well, one afternoon Drusilla, seated in the palace, weary with the magnificent stupidities of the place, says to Felix: “You have a very distinguished prisoner, I believe, of the name of Paul. Do you know he is rny“couirtrymen? I should very much like to see him, and I should very much like to hear him speak, for I have heard so much about his eloquence. Besides that, that other day, when-ffie was—being tried in another room of this palace and the windows were open, I heard the applause that greeted the speech of Lawyer Tertullus as he denounced Paul. Now I very much wish I could hear Paul speak. Won’t you let me hear him speak?”. “Yes,” said Felix. “I will. I will order him up now from the guard room.” Clank, clank, comes a chain up the marble stairway, and there is a shuffle at the door, and in conies Paul, a little old man, prematurely old through-exposure —only sixty years of age, but looking as though lie were eighty. He bows very courteously before the governor and the beautiful woman by his side. They say: “Paul, we have heard a great deal about your speaking Give us now a specimen of your elequence.” And just there and then there broke in upon the scene a peal of thunder. ~ It was the voiceofa judgment day speaking through the words of the decrepit apostle. As that grand old missionary proceeded with his remarks the stoop begins to go out of his shoulders and he rises up and his countenance is illuminated with the glories of a future fife and his shackles rattle and grind is he lifts his fettered arm and with it hurls upon his abashed auditors the bolts of God's indignation. Fe-lix-grew- very wvhite about the lips. His heart beat unevenly. He put his hand to his brow as though to stop the quickness and violence of his thoughts. He drew his robe tighter about him as under a sudden chill. His eyes glare and his knees shake, and as he clutches the side of his chair in a very paroxysm of terror he orders the sheriff to take Paul back to the guard-room. “Felix trembled- and said: ‘Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season I will call thee.’ ” I propose to give you two or three reasons why I think Felix sent Paul back to the guard room and adjourned this whole subject of religion, The first reason was he did not want to give up his sins. He looked around. There was Drusilla. He knew that when he becamea Christian he must send her back to Azizus, her lawful husband, and he said to himself, “I will risk the destruction of my immortal soul sooner than I will do that.” How many there are now who can not get to be Christians because they will not abandon their sins! In vain all their prayers and all their church-going. You can not keep these darling sins and win heaven.

Another reason why Felix sent Paul back to the guardroom and adjourned this subject was he was so very busy. In ordinary times he found the affairs of State absorbing, but those were extraordinary times. The whole land was ripe for insurrection. The Sicarii, a band of assassins, were already prowling around the palace, and I suppose he thought, “I can’t attend to religion while I am pressed by affairs of state.” It was business, among other things, that ruined his soul, and I suppose there are the usands of people who are not children of God because they have so much business. It is business in the store—losses, gains, unfaithful employes. It is business in your law office—sub ipoeuas, writs you have to write out, ‘papers you have to file, arguments ,you have to make. —lt is your medical profession, with its broken bights and the exhausing anxieties of life [hanging upon your treatment, It is [your real estate office, your business [with landlords and tenants, and the [failure of men to meet their obligations with ybu. Aye, with sotfie of those who are here it is the annoyance of the kitchen, and the sitting room, and the parlor—the wearing economy of trying to meet large expenses with a small income. O, Felix, you might better post-

poned everything else! For do you not know . ThaVthe upholstering of Tyrian purple in your palace Will fade, and the marble Blocks of Ciesarea will crumble, and the breakwater at the beach, made of great blocks of stone sixty feet long, must give way before the perpetual wash of the sea, but The-redcmption t-hat-Paul offers you will be forever? And y etand yet an d yet you wave hi m back to the guard room, saying: “Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season I will call for thee.” Again Felix adjourned this subject of religion and put off Paul’s argument because he could not give up the honors of the world. He was afraid somehow he would be compromised himself in this matter. Remarks he made afterward showed” him to be intensely ambitious. Oh, how he hugged the favor of men! I never saw the honors of this world in their hollowness and hypocrisy .so much as in the life and death of that wonderful man, Charles Sumner. As he went toward the place of burial even Independence Hall in Philadelphia asked that his remains stop there on Their way to Boston. The flags ■ were at half mast, and the minute guns on Boston common throbbed as his heart had ceased to beat. Was it always so? While he lived, how censured of legislative resolutions; how caricatured of the pictorials; how charged with every motive mean and ridiculous; how all the urns of scorn and hatred and billigsgate emptied upon his head; how, when struck down in Senate chamber, there were hundreds of thousands of people who said, ”Goo,d for him; serves him right!” how he had ‘put'..the„ocean between him and his maligners that he might have a little peace, and how, when he went off sick, they said he was broken hearted because he Could not get to be President or Secretary of State. O commonwealth dt Massachusetts,. w’ho is that man that sleeps in “ your public hall, covered with garlands and wrapped in the stars and stripes? Is that the man who, only afewmon ths before. you den o u need as the foe of republican and democratic institutions? Is that the same min? Te American people, ye could not, by one week of funeral eulogium and newspaper lea’ders, which the dead Senator could neither read nor hear, atone for twenty-live years of maltreatment and caricature. When I see a man like that, pursued by all the hounds of the political kennel so long as he lives and ..then buried under a great pile of garlands and amid the lamentations of a whole Nation, I say to myself: What an unutterably hypocritical thing is all human applause and all human favor! You took twenty-five years in trying to pull down his fame and then take twenty-five, years in.trying to build his monument. And now my subject takes a deeper tone, and it shows what a dangerous thing is this deferring of religion. When Paul’s chain rattled don the marble stairs of Felix, that

was Felix’s last chance for heaven. Judging from his character afteward, he- was reprobate and abandoned. And so was Drusilla. One day in Southern Italy there was a trembling of the earth, mid the air got black with smoke intershot with liquid rocks, and Vesuvius rained upon Drusilla and upon her son a horrible tempest of ashes and fire. They did not reject religion; they only put it off. They did not not know that that day, that that hour when Paul stood before them, was the pivotal hour upon which everything was poised, and that it tipped the wrong way. Their convenient season came when Paul and

his guardsmen entered the palace—it went away when Paul and his guardsmen left. I can tell you when your convenient season will come. I can tell you the year—it will be in 1894. I can tell you what kind of a day it will be—it will be the Sabbath day. I can tell you what hour it will be—it will be between 8 and 10 o’clock. In other words, it is now. Do you ask me how' I know this is your convenient season? I know it because you are here, and because the Holy Spirit is here, and because the elect sons and daughters of God are praying for your redemption. Ah, I know it is your convenient season because some of you, like Felix, tremble as all vour past life comes upotf you with its terror. Tins night air is aglare with torches to show you up or to show you down. It is rustling with wings to lift you into the light or smite you into despair, and there is a rushing to and a beating against the door of your soul as with a great thunder of emphasis, telling you, “Now, now is the best time, as it may be the only time.” May God Almighty forbid that any of you, my brethren or sisters, act the part of Felix and Drusilla and put away this great subject. If you are going to be saved ever, why not begin to-night? Throw down your sins and take the Lord’s pardon. My reader, why not throw away the worn-out blanket of your sin and take the robe of the Savior's righteousness—a robe so white, so fair, so lustrous that no fuller on earth can whiten it? O shepherd, tonight bring home the lost sheep! O Father, to-night give a welcoming kiss to the wan prodigal! O friend of Lazarus, to-night break down the door of the sepulcher and say to all these dead souls as by irresistible fiat: “Live! Live!” When Mme. Jang Ju, wife of the Chinese Minister, receives a ceremonious call she appears superbly dressed, and with her, attended by their nurses, are her little children.

STRIKE NOTES.

Of the five men arrested for killing ofEngineer Barr, two were released and three await furtller examination. Thursday night, at Brazil, 200 strikers guarded -the jail to preveat-Sf-lynfrhing by a mob said to have been organized at Terre Haute for that purpose. The Vandalia railway company, on behalf of the widow of Barr, will sue Clay county, the sheriff and his bondsmen for damages. Three persons in addition to the five already held, were arrested for complicity in Barrs’ murder, Friday. One was a boy named Ernest Poor, only 14 years of age. A scrimmage at Ebenczer graveyard, near Shelburn, occurred, Monday, between the militia and strikers in ambush. Several shots were fired at the dynamiters. Friday word was received at Camp McKee that a ma i was lying in a deserted house, dangerously wounded, and’ it is supnosed that he is one of the strikers who attacked’thc militia. ■ Sheriff Mills is to be maJe to tell all ho knows as to who have been the leaders in the depredations which occurred previous to the arrival of the militia, and also the names of the men he saw gathered in the various mobs about the station at Shelburn and at other points while the militia was escorting the trains safely past dangerous localities. Mills was at the head of several posses, and it is stated called many m«*n by their first names, asking that they desist from their attempts to molest the trains, and also cease interfering with the sheriffs in their attempts to servo warrants.

A dispatch from Shelburn, Friday night, states that the troubles are now thought to be over in that region. It is the general opinion that al) the troops except one battalion will be ordered home, Sunday. »•;-» The Cripple Creek miners are disposed to', surrender to the authorities. Friday Gov. Waite telegraphed an order to Ad-jutant-General Tarsney instructing him to accept the surrender of the miners, not to disarm them but to protect them with all the power at his command", to keep the deputy sheriffs out of their headquarters, to make no arrests, use no force, but let everything be done voluntarily. “If the armed deputies resist,” the Governor added. “I will call out the unorganized militia and suppress the insurrection.” The condition of the miners in the Shelburn district is desperate. Thel»families are on the verge of starvation. Fdrty car loads of coal passed through Shelburn, Friday. The train was not interfered with at any point, but the speed was materially reduced through the miningdistrict. The arrival of the troops at Cambridge, 0., Friday, appears to have settled matters in that district. There has been no trouble for several days. 6 A mob of strikers burned a bridge on the Cleveland, Lorraine & Wheeling road, Thursday night. The Governor ordered Adj.-Gen.’Howe to send a detachment of militia to Belmont county, near the sceno of the disturbance. The troops ordered out in Maryland have quieted matters. Operators say the strike is over. There is still serious trouble in West Virginia.
