The Humorist, Renowned for His Quaint Fancies, Licensed as a Minister. The Philadelphia Baptist Association in recent session in Philadelphia, received a letter from Lower Merion, announcing that Robert J. Burdette, the humorist, had been licensed to preach the gospel of the church. It is said that Mr. Burdette will retire from the field of literature and lecturing and immediately seek a charge. He was born iorty-four years ago in Greensboro, Pa. Before he reached his majority his parents removed to Peoria, 111., where he received a common school education and graduated in 1831. He enlisted in the Forty-seventh Illinois Infantry and served in the ranks throughout the war. When peace was restored he entered journalism as night editor of the Peoria Transcript. He afterwards edited the Review, and finally his ire it sense of humor, which up to this time he hod not utilized, broke out in the columns of the Burlington Hawkeye. After several years he retired and settled at Bryn Mawr, where he spent his time in writing for newspapers and magazines. FAMINE REPORTED IN CANADA. The People of an Entire District at the Point of Starvation. A Quebec telegram states that news from Moisic, two hundred and two mJes east of Saguenay, is of the most appalling description. The whole population of that district are on the brink of starvation. The fisheries this season have signally failed, the crops, of no great account at any time, have also turned out badly, and the few provisions in the place are high in price, and the unfortunate inhabitants do not know which way to turn for food and clothing.

The Jail at Sac City Also Destroyed—A Prisoner Missing. The court-house and jail at Sac City, in Sac County, lowa, has been destroyed by fire. Most of the public records were destroyed. A prisoner named Charles Carlson was locked up the night before the fire, and has not been seen since. It is feared he was burned to death, although his body has not been found. Cable Notes. The Parnell indemnity fund has reached the sum of $29,000. An international congress will be held in Switzerland in 1889 to discuss the suppression of immoral literature. A drouth prevails throughout the Province of Guzerat, India, and a famine is threatened on the Peninsula of Kattyavar. Georgia Election. Gov. Gordon and the other Georgia State officers have been re-elected, there being no opposition to them. The election was quiet. The amendment to the Constitution increasing the number of Supreme Court Judges from three to five was adopted. The Way to Congress. Candidates for Congress have been nominated as follows: Rodney Wallace, by Eleventh Massachusetts District Republicans; M. E. Atkinson by Eighteenth Pennsylvania Distiiet Republicans. Heard by Wire. At Andover, N. 8., a verdict of manslaughter was brought in against Philippine and Trafton for the killing of Mrs. Howes, the jury adding a strong recommendation to mercy, and they were each sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment. John J. Connelly, an insane highway robber, hanged himself in his cell in the Salem (Mass.) jail. Gold Leaf beat the world’s one mile pacing record for three-year-olds on the Napa, Cal., track, making 2:15. THE NEW TARIFF BILL. It Is Reported to the Senate and Ordered Printed. The new tariff bill was reported to the Senate by Mr. Allison on the 3d inst. It was placed on the calendar and ordered printed. The Senate resumed consideration of Mr. Hale's resolution caTing on the Secretary of War for an explanation of General Benet’s circular as to discharges of Republican employes in United States armories and arsenals. After some discussion the matter went over. Mr. Stewart introduced a resolution, which was referred to the Committed on Contingent Expenses, instructing the < Committee on Mines and Mining to inquire during the recess into the foreign ownership and operations of mines in the Territories. In the House the Sei,ate bill was passed establishing th j Lincoln Lund District of New Mexico and the Senate bill granting a right of way to the Pensacola and Memphis Railroad through the Pensacola reservations. Mr. Burnes, of Missouri, presented the conference report on the deficiency appropria ion bill, but the House adjourned without taking action on it. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Benjamin Ice, of Fairmount, Ind., Who was arrested recently by his daugh-ter-in-law, Lavina Ice, for assault with intent to kill, and sued for $5,000 damages, the suits based on his striking her with a club in a family quarrel over land, has been removed from the jurisdiction of earthly courts. His death was caused by erysipelas in his hand, which had been severely cut in the aforesaia quarrel, and the arrest of Lavina C. Ice, on the charge of manslaughter, is reported probable. The Traders’ Bank, one of the old financial institutions of Chicago, has failed. The expected demise of the President, Joseph O. Rutter, who was lying at the point of death at the time, is assigned as one of the principal causes contributing to the suspension of the bank’s business. The nominal assets of the concern are said to be $999,386.29, while the actual liabilities will, it is believed, reach at least $700,000. and there are other obligations which will swell the total to almost as great a figure as is given for the assets. Near Evansville, Ind., in the recent storm William M. Smith and Casper Westderfer, farmers, were struck by lightning and killed, and Carl Bartulius received a fatal shock. In the neighborhood of

Owensboro. Ky., farm houses were un- | roofed and tobacco barns wrecked and ! buildings in the city badly damaged, the i losses in that section being estimated at I $50,000. A farmer named Admire, living ! near Enterprise, was reported killed by a falling beam. Sever/.L hundred held of cattle in Auglaize and Allen Counties, Ohio, are affected with pleuro-pneumonia, and many have died. The herds affected have been strictly quarantined. The Conway Manufacturing Company, of Milwaukee, has failed for SBO,OOO. Jacob Kafer, a German farm hand, living near Fort Wayne, Ind., who ran through SIO,OOO left him by a relative recently, hanged himself while intoxicated. _____ ROGER Q. MILLS. A Waco (Texas) special says: The Democracy of the Ninth Texas District have renominated Roger Q. Mills for the eighth successive term in Congress. There were over fifteen thousand people present, big delegations being in attendance from every county in the district, and nearly all the principal Democratic leaders of the State, both Prohibitionists and anti-Prohibitionists, were present and made speeches at a barbecue. Mr. Mills, of course, was the principal orator and made one of his best efforts. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. S. F. Packard, wool dealer, Boston, Mass., has failed. Liabilities, $91,000, with $7,500 secured; assets light. Miss Mary Campbell Schofield, the only daughter of the General of the United States army, and Lieut. Delano Andrews, of the Fifth Artillery, were married in the little chapel of St. Cornelius on Governor’s Island. The wedding was a brilliant affair, and drew together many notable guests. A man giving his name as Houlihy was arrested by three officers at Kingston, N. Y., on suspicion of his being Tascott. Houlihy claims that he is employed by the owner of a racing stud, and says his arrest is absurd. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A freight train on the Cincinnati Southern Road struck a cow six miles south of Spring City, Tenn., and was thrown from the track and badly wrecked. Brakeman William Lannon, of Cincinnati, was killed, and Engineer Quigley probably fatally injured. The fireman had an arm broken and suffered severe bruises, but nothing serious. Slight injuries were received by others in the crew. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The following is a statement of the public debt at the close of business Sept. 30: INTEREST-BEARING DEBT.

L. D. Godfrey, A. B. Williams, and Arthur L. Thomas, has been filed in Washington, as follows: It recommends that Utah be not admit'ed to the Union until sucli time as the Mormon people shall manifest by their future acts that they I have abandoned polygamy in good faith, and not then until an amendment shah have been made I to the Constitution of the United States prohib- | iting the practice of polygamy. It says the con- i vention which a opt.d the proposed constitution upon which an appeal was made to Congress lor admission to the Union was held without authority from any proper source It is further asserted that the proposed constitution is silent with I resjrect to the crime of polygamy, and the Com- : missioners ate of the opinion that the Government cannot afford to surrender th great advantage which it now holds, and which has been se- ! cured at much expense and trouble. They also j think that no harm cun result from delay in the , admission of the Territory. It is also stated in the report that the Democra ie and Republican parties of Utah, in tlieir conventions 1 recently held, indorsed the position taken in the i ma,ority report. The report concludes that the | Mormon Church is committ ed to a policy which, : if successful, will prove d. struc.ive to the pub-lic-school system in Utah. During the year tlteio have been eight indictments for polygamy and four convictions, 304 indictments for unlawful cohabitation, and 326 convictions. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. An Augusta (Me.) special dispatch of Sept. 28 says: “The full official returns of the late election now in the State Department cut down the Republican plurality from 18,195 to 18.055. The Democratic gain over 1884 was 3,279, or 5 7-10 per cent., and the Republican g :in 1,625, or 2 1-10 per cent." The Democrats of the Fifth Illinois District have nominated for Congress

The Labor party of the Eleventh Illinois District have indorsed Wm. Prentiss (Dem.) for Congress. Levi P. Morton’s letter accepting the Republican nomination to the Vice-Presi-dency has been made public. He strongly approves the national platform, and makes an argument in favor of protection of American industries. ACROSS THE OCEAN. Don Jaime, the son of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, has refused an invitation to become a claimant to the throne in opposition to his father. Don Carlos denies the report that he is negotiating with the Spanish government. A London (England) special states that that city has again been startled by the news that two more murders have been added to the list of mysterious crimes that have recently been committed in Whitechapel. The two victims, as in the former cases, were dissolute women of the poorest class. That the motive of the murderer was not robbery is shown by the fact that no attempt was made to despoil the bodies. The first victim had her throat severed from ear to ear. the fiend evidently being scared away before time for mutilating the body. The second—the body of an unfortunate woman —had been disemboweled, the throat cut, and the nose severed. The heart and lungs had been thrown aside, and the entrails were twisted into the gaping wound around the neck. FRESH AND NEWSY. In their review for last week Dun & Co. say: Doubt about the corn crop has vanished. Estimates vary, but it is doubtless the largest crop ever raised. The increase of more than 550,000,000 bushels in this crop far outweighs in value any loss in the yield of wheat, and also any possible loss in the yield of cotton. But the yield of oats is also the largest on record, anil the yield of hay and potatoes excellent. It is safe to say that this year's agricultural produce will represent at least one hundred millions more money than last year's, at average prices for both. Trade was slightly checked by artificial prices. In pork products prices have yielded but little, and packing falls much behind lust year. Corn has fallen but one cent, notwithstanding the great yield. At Kansas City the market for cattle is overstocked, and prices are so low as to check movement. The boot and shoe trade is large. The iron market is stronger ut Philadelphia, but weaker at Pittsburg. The reports from interior points are uniformly hopeful. The cotton crop is about three weeks lute, and forwarding is delayed by the stoppage of traffic. At all Western points bei yond the danger of fever business is reported good or improving, though more complaint of slow collections is heard. Money is generally in ample supply, but the stringency increases at Cleveland and the demand is strong at St. Louis and Milwaukee. Kansas City reports loans paid with unusual regularity, and money is easy at Omaha. August imports exceeded exports by ©11,671,352, and the excess for eight months was ©87,420,928. From New York the exports for the last four weeks have been 4 per cent, below last year’s, with imports equal to those of 1887. The business failures for the week are 220. For the corresponding week of 1887 the figures were 195. The following is the weather-crop bulletin for the week ended Saturday, Sept. 29: The temperature during the week was decidedly cooler than usual throughout the Southern, Middle, and New England States, the average daily temperature ranging from 7 to 10 degrees below the normal in all districts, but it was generally favorable for all growing crops in all sections except New England, where heavy rains were reported as unfavorable. Throughout the cotton belt reports indicate that the weather during the week improved the condition of the cotton crop. In Louisiana the conditions -were favorable for cane and the harvesting of rice; and generally throughout the Gulf States the weatner was favorable for cotton picking and the seeding of wheat. l ight frost occurred in the northern portion of the Gulf States, over the tobacco regions of Tennessee and Kentucky, North Carolina and Vir- , ginia, and in the Middle Atlantic and New Enj gland States, which will probably result in some damage to the growing crops, but warnings of these frosts were issued to the threatened sec- ; tions in time to enable tbosa receiving them to secure the greater portion of the tobacco crop not previously cut. Quebec’s millionaire merchant and Senator, James G. Ross, is dead. His estate is variously estimated at $5,000,000 j to $10,000,000, invested principally in shipping, mines, and railroads. He advanced a great part of the money for the building of the Quebec Central and other railways. He also advanced a large portion of the ready money which changed hands when the North Shore was sold by the Government, and was a heavy shareholder in the Richelieu Navigation Company and in the Quebec Worsted Company. James Smith, an engineer on the Wabash Road was jostled from his seat while the engine was going at full speed, and I fell in a sitting posture on an oil can, the long point of which penetrated his body I fifteen inches, coming out through the ab- | domen.

QUICK-TEMPERED PEOPLE. A Magazine Writer Who Does Not Like Passionate People. A matter not unworthy of remark is the almost universal claim laid to that supposed to bo undesirable possession, a quick temper. “I have a frightfully quick temper” is an assertion often made without any sign of regret, rather with evident self-complacency. And how often, when, with the intention of saying something pleasing, we remark upon the sweetness of a friend’s disposition to the friend in person, are we met with the reply: “Oh, you’re quite mistaken; I’m one of the quickest tempered people in the world !” given in a tone that does not imply modest deprecation of a compliment, but a decided sense of unappreciated merit. Now this willingness—eagerness, it may even without exaggeration be called—to be convicted of what is acknowledged to be a fault, strikes one as a curious anomaly. No one would answer, if told, “You are very truthful,” “Oh, no, I’m a constant liar;” nor, if complimented upon consistent attention to her own business, respond, “On the contrary, scandal mongering is my favorite occupation.” At least, no one would give either of these answers in the serious way in which the claim to the possession of a hot temper is made. May there not be, underlying this inconsistency and explaining it, a misconception of the real meaning and source of a quick temper? To many minds this undesirable trait seems to be the outcome of many very admirable qualities. To be ' hot-tempered means, inferentially, in such mental vocabularies, to be generous aud largeminded and unselfish, and—after a I little lapse of time —forgiving. But I , maintain that it means exactly the reverse of all these things. If a man be quick-tempered, if he give way to anger quickly and unrighteously (for I leave out of the ’ question entirely that righteous wrath j which rises for good reason only, aud is quite a different matter from temper), | he is not generous, for he shows no reI gard for the comfort of those around j him; he is not unselfish, for it is safe to say that in nine cases out of ten, if i not in ten out of ten, his fury is kindled by some fancied slight to himself, and ’ is allowed to blaze simply as au illumination in honor of his self-esteem: he is not forgiving, because, though he ; may recover quickly from his aberration, and soon be perfectly urbane to ; the whilom victim of it, the restoration is simply forgetfulness, and to forget the injury inflicted upon another by his own hasty words is by no means synony- ' mous with forgiveness of injuries he himself may have received. Last of all, he is not large-minded. lam convinced that a quick temper is an unfailing indication of a limited intelligence and a lack of mental quickness. If the mind were large enough to grasp the true relations of things, to see how small a point in the universe this tem-per-rousing episode occupied, and if it could see this quickly, in a flash of thought, the outburst would be averted. —. t Hit it tic. Their Only .Medicine Chest. Def.rlodge, Montana, Dec. 16, 18 5. 1 have been using Bkandreth’s Pills I for the last thirteen years, and though I have had nine children, 1 have never had a doctor in the house, except three times, ■ when we had an epidemic of scarlet fever, vhich we soon banished by a vigorous use of Brandreth’s Pills. I have used them for myself, two or three a night,for a month, for liver conlplaint, dyspepsia, and eonsti i pation. In diurihiea, cramps, wind colic, indigestion, one or two Bbandueth s j Pills fixed the children at once. A box of Pills is all the medicine chest we re- । quire in the house. Me use them for rheumatism, colds, catarrh, biliousness, ! and impure blood. They never have failed to cure all the above complaints in a very : few days. William W. B. Miller. How to Rest. I Many women never rest. They seem not to understand what rest, real rest, means. To throw one’s self down with a newspaper or book is not rest; it is i only a change of occupation. To sit : down and keep the fingers flying over j some sort c fancy work, as if one were J pursued by a demon of unrest, iis certainly not rest. But to lie at full length on a hard surface, arms extended at the sides, head back, with no pillow, eyes closed, all cares aud worries dismissed, this is rest; this will smooth away i wrinkles in face aid in temper; this | will give an air of repose to the tired, ; anxious, nervous woman; this will take i away many an ache and straighten out ' rounded shoulders and craned out ' necks. English girls, who are famous walkers, are taught to lie down ; for a few seconds whenever they come in from their tramps. If Americans i would learn the value of lying down frequently, say two or three times a day, they would have twice as much go ahead ' and power to go ahead as they are now famous for.— Chicago Herald. A Life on tbe Ocean Wave I Indurates the stomach against sea sickness, but a single or occasional transit across the “illirnitI Mble wetness” is productive of grievous qualms, I especially wh-n it is stormy. Ocean travelers, | yachtmen, ship surgeons, commercial buyers I sent abroad, voyagers by steamboat, and all who are occasionally orfrequently called upon to ba whore “billows are buffeted," should take along Hostetter's htomach Bitters, the finest known antidote for sea sickness, malaria, biliousness, and dis orders of the stomach an 1 bowels. Many travelers by railroad, with delicate stomachs and nerves likewise suffer severely en route. These will find the Bitters surely helpful and consolatory. Traveling, oven in swift, stea ly and commodious steamships and sumptuous palaeo Ci rs, is not always a sourco of unmixed joy and delight, and the Bitters does much to counteract the discomforts attending it. aggravated by delicate hea'th. Rheumatism, biought on by damp w< ather, kidney troubles and debility, are effectually relieved by the Bitters. If Wouldn’t be Fair. She was a girl from Holly, N.

Log Cabin Success. What ails the young men? Robert Garrett’s father left him a fortune | of twenty millions. He was from childhood ! reared in luxury; he received a splendid education, with an especial training into a thorough knowledge of railroad management. and was expected to succeed his father as a railroad king. Within three years after the responsibili- i ties which liis father’s death threw upon him were assumed, he is reported a brokendown man, with mind and health permanently shattered. George Law is another young man loft with millions of money who is reported among the “wrecks.” His father, bred a stonemason, was of gigantic size and strength, with commensurate brain power. So he became a great contractor, then a railroad kimr, and left half a dozen millions for his son to dissipate. The young man is a success as a dissipator. The founders of both of these great estates were born in the most humble walks of life, grew strong, mentally and physically, by simple living and honest labor and developed into financial giants. Their sons were reared in the lap of luxury and developed into intellectual pigmies. The great men of our country have not, as a rule, come from the elegant mansions of the cities, but from the Log Cabins of the rural districts. Simple ways of living, freedom from dissipation and enervating pleasures, simple remedies for disease, effective and which leave no poison in the system, develop brawny, brainy men, who compel the world to recognize their strength and power. Tho wholesome, old-fashioned Log Cabin remedies arc the safest and surestfor family use. Our grandmothers knew how to prepare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams which drive disease out of the system by natural methods and leave no after ill effects. Tho most potent of these old-time remedies were, after long and searching investigation-, secured by 11. H. Warner of safe cure fame, and are now put out for the “healing of the nations” in tho Warner’s Log Cabin remedies. Regulate the regulator with Warner’s Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood giving health, strength, mental and bodily vigor, you may hope to cope successfully with tho most gigantic financial problems of tho age, without wrecking health and manhood. Now that the State of New York has adopted electricity as a substitute for hanging, the problem is to get an apparatus that will dispatch the criminal surely and decently, and without danger to the legal executioners. There is well-grounded fear that at first the machine may kill more Deputy Sheriffs than culprits. Quite a number of plans are suggested, such as putting the condemned barefooted and bareheaded into a metallic chamber with au iron floor, which will be one pole of the circuit, while a wire reaching down to the top of his head will be the other. The objection to this is that the criminal may decline to form the connection, and an unpleasant struggle ensue. Edison suggests that the prisoner be manacled and a current from a dynamo of 2.000 volts be sent through the manacles. A current from 1.000 volts would answer, and kill him by a paralysis of the heart and lungs, but 2,000 volts would make sure.

Out of Sorts Is a feeling peculiar to persons of dyspeptic tendency, or it may be caused by change of climate, season or life. The stomach is out of order, the head aches or does not feel right, appetite is capricious, ths nerves seem overworked, the mind is confused and irritable. This condition finds an excellent corrective in Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by its regulating and toning powers, soon restores harmony to the system, and gives that strength of mind, nerves, and body which makes one feel perfectly well. “I have used Hood’s Sarsaparilla in my family for three years, and have taken it personally with great success. It has always built up my system, by giving me a good appetite, lias cleared my skin, and has made me sleep. I have suffered from nervous prostration, and have been cured by nothing but Hood's Sarsaparilla and occasionally a few of Hood’s Pills.” G. F.

A Word to Husbands. Love aud appreciation are to a woman j what dew and sunshine are to a flower, i They freshen and brighten her whole life. They make her strong-hearte i and keensighted in everything affecting the welfare |of her home. They make her to cherish I her husband when the cares of life press I heavily upon him, and to be a very ptovi- • dence to her children. To know that her husband loves her and is proud of her and believes in her; that even her faults are looked upon with tenderness; that her face, to one at least, is the fairest in all tho world; that th© heart which to her is the greatest and noblest, holds her sacred in his innermost recesses above all other women, gives a strength and courage and energy and sweetness and vivacity which all the wealth of the world could not bestow. Let a woman’s life be pervaded with such an influence and her heart and mind will never grow old, but will blossom and sweeten and brighten in perpetual youth.— St. Paul Pioneer. Courage. Bennie was asked if he was afraid of the dark. “Oh, no,” he said, “I go in great piles of dark!”— Children at Home.
