LAST JCXT.

tie really is a charming girl,
An-1 I adored her—last July.
We danced and swam and bowled and walked;
She let me -queeze ber finger-tip*;
Entranced I listened when she talked.
Ami trash seemed wisdom from her lips,
sent ber roses till my purse
Was drained. I found, completely dry;
I longed to srog her charms in Terse—
Bat all of tius was last July,
Of course at last we had to part;
I aaw a tear drop on her cheek;
I left her with an aching heart,
And dreamt about her for a week.
But out of sight is out of mind.
Ami somehow, as the time went by,
Much fainter I began to And
Th- memory of last July,
July has come again at last;
With summer gowns the rocks are gay:
Itaeemed an echo of the past
To meet her on the beach to-day.
She s eren fairer than of yore.
A tel vet, I could not tell you why,
I find the girl an awful bore —
So long it is since last July.

FISH LINES SIX MILES LONG.
Bach with 30,000 Hooks, Baited to
Lure the Sturgeon.
“They fish with lines six miles long,”
says a writer in the New York Il'orW, “in
Winnebago Lake, Wisconsin, and use
90,000 hooks on every line,” said a New
York fisherman who has been there, “and
if they don’t haul up 2,000 fish every time
they call it indifferent luck. Andevery
fish will weigh trom twenty to seventy
pounds. That's the way they fish for
sturgeon out there.
‘One of these lines will reach half way
across the lake. It is a rope an inch in
diameter. It is carried out in the lake,
large buoys being attached to it at inter
vals to keep it on the surface. The 20,000
books, baited with pieces of meat or fish,
are lowered to me bottom oi tne Jake by
‘snoods' of the proper length attached to
the line. It takes twenty boats, with two
men in each, to look after this big fish line.
Each boat has 1,000 hooks in its charge.
The hooks are placed eighteen inches
apart, and to bait all the nooks once re
quire- not less than 1,000 pounds of meat.
It takes the forty men and twenty boats
ten hours to set the line for the first time.
After that the fishermen are constantly
employed fin going to and fro over the
line, hauling m the sturgeon that have
been caught on the hooks, and rebaiting
Where it is necessary.
“To haul in a 70-pound sturgeon from
the bottom of the lake is an exciting
piece of work, but requires more strength
than skill, as the fish always has the hook
several inches down his throat, having
sucked bait and all down without any
regard to consequences. There is no dan
ger of losing the fish unless the snood or
the hook breaks. When the fish is hauled
to the surface a gaff, like a meat hook, is
thrust into the side of its head, and
the sturgeon is drawn into the boat
sud knocked in the head with a
mallet. The hook is cut out of its throat,
rebaited and thrown back into the lake.
"The average catch of sturgeon is one
to every ten hooks. When a boat is load
ed with all it will carry of sturgeon the
fishermen row back to shore, where others
take the fish and dispose of them. The
flsh. nnen know the particular sections of
the line on which they work by the ar
rangement of the buoys. These are
placed ten feet apart, and every 130th one
is red. The space between the"red buoys
contains 1,000 books. The sections are
numbered, and each boat has its number
corresponding with the section it fishes.
While the average catch is one sturgeon
to U u hooks, it is no uncommon thing for
the fishermen to find but one or two on an
■entire section of 1,000 hooks.
“The Lake Winnebago sturgeon is highly
prized among the lumbermen and others
Jhe region. Its flesh is finer and of
flavor than the salt water stur
geon’s. Ti*? fish sells for six cents a
pound at retail. Large quantities are
ftaititl and smoked for Use 111 lumber
camps.”
SENTENCED TO DIE BY A JURY.
A Case Cnparalleled in the History of
Alabama Court*.
A scene unparalleled in the history of
courts in this section, says a Chattanooga
special of the 15th inst., occurred yester
■day in the court house at Scottsboro, Ala.
At II a. m. a jury sitting on a case for
arson against George Smith, Asbury
Hughes. George Hughes and John Gray
son. left the court room, and at 3 p. m.
the? returned. The four prisoners stood
op and the foreman announced that they
ha.l adjudged the prisoners guilty as
charged, and sentenced Smith and the
Hughes brothers to be hanged and Gray
son to the penitentiary for life. When the
Judge delivered the sentence the prisoners
did not move a muscle. They appealed to
She Supreme Court, but the judgment will
pro!,ably be affirmed. There is great ex
citement over the verdict. The crime
charged upon the doomed men is a heinous
-one. They pillaged the house of an aged
New Englander named Porter, living on
Band Mountain, robbed him of over $5,000
and burned the building, leaving the
familv exposed, from the effects of which
treatment the old man died, leaving his
family destitute. There are ten other per
sons charged with capita l crimes in jail
at Scottsboro.
A Huge Electric Battery.
St. Xieholatfor July.
In erecting the great statue of Liberty
two things bad to be considered that seem
verv trifling, and yet, if neglected, might
destrov the statue in one day, or cause it
to crumble slowly to pieces. One is the
sun, me other is the sea breeze. Either
of tiiese could destroy the great copper
figure, and something must be done to
prevent such a disaster. The heat of the
sun would expand the metal and pull it
out of shape, precisely as it does pull
the Brooklyn bridge out of shape
every day. The bridge is made
in Your parts, and when they ex
pand with the heat of the sun they slide
one past the other, and no harm is done.
The river span rises and falls day and
night, as heat and cold alternate. The
great copper statue is likewise in two
parts, the frame-work ot iron and the
copper covering; and while they are se
curely fastened together they can move
one over the other. Each bolt will slip a
trifle as the copper expands in the hot
August sunshine, and slide back again
when the freezing winds blow and the
vast figure shrinks together in the cold.
Besides this, the copper surface is so thin
and elastic that it will bend slightly
when heated, vet keep its general shape.
The salt air blowing in from the sea has
thin fingers and a bitter, biting tongue.
If it finds a crack where it can creep in
between the copper surface and iron skel
eton. there will be trouble at once. These
metals do not agree together, and where
there is salt moisture in the air they seem
to quarrel more bitterly than ever. It
•oeius that every joining of points of cop
per and iron makes a tiny battery, and so
faint shivers ot electricity would run
through all the statue, slowly corroding
and eating it into dust. This curious, si
*■*- and vet sure destruction
——- , ■* a pverv
must be prevented, anu
joint throughout the statue, where
ever eopner touches iron, must be
protected with little rags stuffed between
the metals to keep them from quarreling.
It is the same wherever two different
metals touch each other. Imagine what
a tremendous battery the Liberty would
make, with its tons of copper surface and
monstrous skeleton of iron. However, a
little care prevents all danger, as pro
vision will be made, of course, for keep
ing the metals from touching each other.
Abraham Lincoln as Postmaster.
Very few people, probably, says a W ash
isgtou letter, are aware that Abraham
Lincoln was once a Postmaster at a
oountry settlement called New Salem,
near Springfield, 111. In rummaging
aau>!! g some old papers in the Post Office
Department the other day, the documents
•bowing a settlement of his accounts were
found, and by reference to the records It
appears that on the 7th of May, 1833,
when he was about 24 years old, he was
appointed to succeed Isaac Christman as
Postmaster, a milled a bond of SSOO, with
M. Alley and A. Trent as sureties.
He served from that date till the 30th of
May, 1836. but it was more than six
months before his accounts were settled,
(here having been a dispute with the
Auditor of the Treasury, who finally de
. cided in Lincoln’s favor, and a draft for
's2oß 36 was sent to him in care of the
Postmaster at Springfield, 111. 1
The post office at Sew Salem was
abandoned, and the people at the cross
roads were compelled to go to Sprinarfield
for their mail, else Lincoln might have
served longer in the post. His compen
sation for nearly four years amounted to
,oaly $545,
LOUISVILLE IN A LETTER.
The International Convention of Sunday
Schools—lnteresting Gossip.
Correspondence of the Morning Seree.
Louisville, Kv., June 13.—The Inter
national Convention of Sunday Schools
wound up its labors last night after a
gloriously fraternal meeting all through.
It has been a big thing, and Louisville has
held her arms open for them and enjoyed
the affair, and would be delighted to have
them all three years from now. We have
treated them as well as we know how.
Spring chickens have suffered and died in
the cause by the thousand, and the mature
members of the chicken family have not
only roosted high but flown discreetly out
of sight, and there is not a strawberry left
in the land.
Many of the delegates remain over to
fill various pulpits next Sunday and par
ticipate in impromptu love feasts, as they
float around loose to-day; but the great
body of the convention which has swarmed
through town for the past week in a be
wildering rainbow or parti-colored badges
bas vanished like magic.
The Opera House, where the sessions
were held, was crowded beyond its capa
city every day and night, and the over
flow held meetings at the Fourth and
Walnut streets Baptist and Christian
churches,both of which are within a
stone’s throw of the hall. The stage of
the Opera House was beautifully deco
rated with the festooned and intertwined
flags of America and England, and these
were reproduced, on a smaller scale, at
every section around the balcony, together
with appropriate mottoes; a lavish decora
tion of flowers filled the large auditorium
with summer scent and sweetness.
There was a considerable sprinkling of
ladies among the delegates, those from
the South being principally bright-faced
young ladies, while those from the East
and West were matronly and business
like for the most part, read sensible pa
pers, took copious notes, and were alto
gether practical and a trifle 6elt-assertive.
slrs. Sallie Chapin. President of the
Woman’s Temperance Union of South
Carolina, was on the ground as Miss Wil
lard's right bower; Miss Willard herself,
on the last day, lectured in the Christian
cnurch, to ah overflowing house, upon
“Temperance in the Sunday School,” a
plea for the greater prominence of this
subject in Sunday School work.
THERE HAS BEEN NO HEATED DEBATE
on any subject during the session; no
spirited discussion to rankle In anybody's
breast with thorny afterthoughts; all
things have worked together for good
order and harmony. Arkansas outdid
herself on the convention question—she
sent one delegate, who looked extremely
lonesome. There were soma half dozen
colored delegates from different points,
one of whom, Mr, Smith, of Maryland,
spoke at some length in behalf of the
colored Sunday schools. France has one
representative in the body, the Rev. John
Paul Cooke; and there is also one from far
away India, who requested to be presented
with the British and United States flags
adorning the stage, at the close of tne
session, to carry back to the children In
India. The delegation from Colorado an
nounced, when the finances were being
discussed and the subscriptions for the
ensuing term credited, that the converted
Chinamen of Denver gave ten dollars a
year, for the next three years, to the asso
ciation. This was overtopped by the
committee from Indian Territory, who re
ported that the Indians pledged them
selves for the same amount, “to help
Christianize the whites!” The singing
during the assembly hours has been in
spiring, the brethren pitching into the fa
miliar old tunes with a delectable vim;
Mr. Wallace, of the Georgia delegation,
has been particularly conspicuous for his
beautiful solos.
Such a body of fat men gathered to
gether is seldom seen; from the Hon.
Chairman, 8. H. Blake, of Toronto, down
through the list, almost every one, with
an exception here and there, had a well
fed, comfortable appearance that argued
well from the beginning. Fat people, en
masse, have such a satisfied, at-peace
with-the-world look about them, it is diffi
cult to believe they are not always the
jolly, good-tempered lellows they seem.
There were crowds of noble Britons on
the ground, of course, and accepting the
popular traditions it was natural to sup
pose these could be picked out in the
crowd as those with the baldest heads, the
portliest physiques ftpd the huskiest
voices. An emissary from one ot the
British provinces was announced for a
speech one afternoon, and great expecta
tions were entertained, for he was evi
dently a great gun. It was easy to desig
nate him; there he was in a chair at one
side of the stage, rotund and ruddy, ap
parently crammed with roast beef and
plum pudding until his skin was as tight
and smooth as a pudding bag, lolling back
in his chair and stroking his mutton-chop
whiskers. It is always the unexpected
that happens. W hen speech time came
around, a lean, dyspeptic creature rose
up from somewhere and commenced in a
thin, piping voice, a tedious harangue.
He resembled that spectral insect known
to irreverent childhood as “daddy long
legs:” one expected momentarily that
his long coattails would be transformed
into a pair of gauzy wings and with a
hum and a snap he would go buzzing over
the heads of the people and out at the
window. A funny little something hap
pened while one of the temperance lady
speakers was holding forth at the Chris
tian Church Friday morning. It was a
very good humored and approving audi
dience, and had applauded the best pas
sages and keenest thrusts of the lecturers
all the way through with somewhat more
vigor than discrimination. This lady
prefaced her address with the statement
that she came from Peoria, Hi., “where
there was more whisky made than any
where else in the world.” At this a brisk
round of applause burst torth, and the
speaker looked vague and puzzled. When
it died away she gently remonstrated and
assured them the fact mentioned deserved
no commendation. Naturally, nobody rose
to explain or apologize, and the cause of
this outburst of approval on the subject of
Peoria’s godless enterprise is still wrap
ped in mystery.
The greater portion of the convention,
upon adjournment, went down to Mam
moth Cave; some few still linger, and in
one more day the last vestige will have
disappeared. ’ Louisville has entirely en
joyed them, and it is safe to say they all
enjoyed Louisville—at least they looked
that way.
The Louisville Republicans have just
ratified with a whoop. The whoop was
all the louder because some of the leading
local Republicans who have been staunch
to their party nominees ever since they
had a party, and who were safely counted
on for support to the end of the chapter,
eome what might, have dropped Blaine as
though he burned their fingers. One of
these is the Hon. James Speed, Lincoln’s
Attorney General, and another is Captain
Silas Miller, who came back from Chicago
madder than a whole ne6tful of hornets.
He hints darkly that he will elect the
Democratic nominee if the free trade
plank is dropped out.
THERE ARE FEW SADDER LIFE STORIES
than the one ended the other day by the
suicide of poor old Abe Buford. He had
1 enjoyed his prosperity as long as it lasted,
to the fullest measure, and he lived to taste
the bitterest dregs of the cup—poverty,
disgrace in the person of one nearest to
j him, the slights of summer friends and all
* l ” nitiful stings of fortune that follow
in the train m fpancial ruin-these were

were more than he could beat. ine P a ’

briefly told the whole pitiful story. Bred

were gone, age had crept on and health
was deserting him, what was left but the
bullet that mercifully took him from the

many when his purse was not so heavy as
of old. “I have no home to go to”—this
was the despairing cry of one who a year
or two back was master of a princely
home where every one esteemed it a privi
lege to be a guest; whose hospitable doors
were thrown wide to all who entered, and
whose welcome never stinted in its gener
! ous warmth to any who crossed the thresh
i old. No man was ever more loyal to a
friend or generous to a foe; none so ready
to lend a helping hand to any who asked
his aid when the world went well with
him. A man of less blunt and straight
forward integrity might have covered up
a few thousands from his creditors to
screen his old age from need, but this
simple, honest soul would have scorned
the idea.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 1884.
THE SARATOGA CONVENTION.
Cleveland's Favorable Prospects at Chi
cago—The Rally of the “Crow Eaters”
—Conklin* to Stamp for Blaine—Som
mer Closing of Fashionable Churches.
Correepondenee of the Morning Sente.
New York, June 19.—People breathe
freer now that the Saratoga convention
has met and adjourned. Although those
who hope to win the independent and dis
satisfied Republican vote regret that the
delegation to the National Convention
was not instructed for Cleveland, so that
it could present a solid front at Chicago,
yet the convention after all did its work
wisely and well. Cleveland certainly has
a large majority of the delegates to Chi
cago, and the adoption of the unit rule
will ultimately cause the entire vote of
the State to be cast for him. If the “bol
ters” and independents whom I know are
to be taken as a criterion, it really mat
ters little whether Cleveland or fiavard
is nominated. The National Convention
cannot go wrong if it confines its choice
to this noble pair. All my bolting Repub
lican lriends say that they will vote for
either, and they "represent the sentiments
of thousands of other Republicans in
this and the neighboring States. The
Saratoga Convention showed particular
wisdom in not giving John Kelly and his
organization a chance to bolt. By yield
ing to his demands for an equal represen
tation with the county Democracy, which,
after all. were reasonable, the convention
deprived him of any excuse for making
his usual “deal” with the Republicans.
Young crow boiled is said to be esteem
ed a luxury in the north of Europe.
Blaine can hardly be called a young bird;
he is, nevertheless, being swallowed with
apparent gusto by men who, a short
fortnight ago, declared that nothing would
induce them to stomach him. I was pre
pared to see even loud-mouthed bolters
gradually yield a silent acquiesenee to his
nomination and ultimately afford him a
sulky support, but to find some of his
most vehement anti-nomination oppo
nents already transformed into ardent
supporters is certainly surprising.
Yet there are doubtless many such if
Casper Golderman, Chief Clerk of the
Health Department, is a fair example of
the class. While Blaine’s fortunes were
trembling in the balance at Chicago,
Golderman announced with virtuous em
phasis that if the Republican Convention
nominated a man with such a soiled
reputation he would not vote for him.
This was not said once or twice, but
repeatedly, in loud tones, and accom
panied with the application of unpleasant
epithets to the plumed knight. Those
who heard Golderman bluster imagined
that “any decent Democrat” would get his
vote sooner than Blaine.
FOR NEARLY A WEEK AFTER BLAINE’S
nomination, Golderman was silent as to
political matters, and when asked what
he intended to do on election day, tried to
evade the question. He implied that he
was of the same opinion as before the
Chicago Convention, but he no longer de
nounced Blaine. But all this time he was
experiencing a change of heart, and on
Saturday his conversion was complete.
That morning, without any one initiating
the subject, he suddenly broke out in my
presence with, “These d—d scoundrels
who are now bolting from Blaine are the
same who bolted from Lincoln!”
His capacity to eat crow, you perceive,
is much greater than his knowledge of
ante-bellum politics. To call the natural
dissatisfaction which at first existed in
this State at the throwing overboard of a
statesman like William H. Seward in
favor of a then comparatively unknown
Illinois lawyer a bolt, shows surprising
ignorance in a member of the party which
claims to comprise the culture and educa
tion of the nation.
But there are many Goldermans in the
Republican party, and when election day
comes but a few thousands, compara
tively speaking,®! the tens of thousands
who are now denouncing Blaine will vote
against him. Fortunately, a few thou
sand votes will turn the scales here in
New York and other doubtful States.
One of the queerest political bets
which thus far have been made is that
Conkling will take the stump for Blaine.
A STALWART POLITICIAN OF SOME PROMI
NENCE
in his “deestrict” has bet two hats that
he will not, but the fact that his bets were
taken is considered proof of the existence
of an understanding between Blaine and
Conkling which will result in the latter
supporting on the platform his former
bitter enemy. Conkling will do this, it
is supposed, not in gratitude for the
“taffy” administered to him in Blaine’s
book, but in the expectation of being re
stored, with Blaine’s help, to his seat in
the Senate. Although I do not believe
any of this, I am in hopes that it is true,
for Conkling is so disliked by the half
breeds that his support would injure
Blaine rather than help him.
Everybody who respected young Theo
dore Roosevelt is glad to learn of hisdenial
that he intended to support Blaine. Ac
cording to what w is last heard from him,
the interview in which he announced that
he was a “Republican, not a Reformer,”
was a fabrication. But he may change his
mind yet before election day.
Every summer a comparison between
Protestantism and Romanism, not favor
able to the first named, confronts one.
While the Roman Catholic Churches here,
as elsewhere, are open all the year round,
the majority of the Protestant churches
are closed two months of the twelve—July
and August. You may say that the
Roman Catholics of New York belong to
the stay-in-town class, so that it is neces
sary for their churches to remain open,
while the reverse is true ol metropolitan
Protestants. While admitting the first, I
deny this last assertion. The large ma
jority of the male attendants, at any rate,
of the very churches that are most apt to
close spend the greater part of the sum
mer in town, and there are of course
thousands of Protestant families whose
circumstances forbid their leaving New
York in even the hottest weather for any
length of time.
The Protestant Churches which remain
open during the entire summer belong to
the denomination that is considered most
akin to Romanism. With few exceptions,
only Episcopal Churches are to be open
in "July and August, and the Episcopal
Churches which will remain open are
those that have a tendency towards High
Church. For example Trinity Church,
and the various chapels connected with
Trinity parish, will all remain open the
entire summer.
THE RITUALISTIC CHURCHES WILL IMI-
TATE THE ROMANISTS
in this respect, as they do in others. St.
George’s and Calvary Churches, which
have ceased to be low under their present
incumbents, will also remain open, not to
speak of other more avowedly high
churches. On the other hand, Grace
Church, the Church of the Ascension,
Christ Church, St. Bartholomew’s and
other distinctly low churches will be
closed during July and August. Although
the Rev. Heber Newton is so “broad” a
churchman as to be considered hetero
dox, his church—the Anthon Memorial—
is only to be closed a fortnight for repairs.
Of other Protestant churches, all the
more fashionable will be closed. Many of
their pastors are already taking their va
cations, or are about to start for the coun
try. The Rev. Dr. John Hall, the dis
tinguished Presbyterian divine. Is in
Europe, and Dr. John P. Newman,
Grant’s old chaplain, who, although a
Methodist, occupies a Congregational
pulpit despite the 'opposition of a large
part of the congregation, begins a three
months vacation next week. The latter’s
lines are certainly cast in pleasant places.
It * uot given to every one, either clergy
man or ’‘''Qian, to receive a salary of
SIO,OOO. It'is, hbn'eYer, to be but $6,000 in
future for nine months work.
When thus eight PrOt?* ta iit churches
in ten are to be closed the uCZ f t wo
months, what are the stay-in-town mem
bers of the congregations going to do?
The answer is not hard to find. What
wonder that the “continental” Sunday is
becoming popular in New York, when" for
a sixth part of the year Protestants have
no churches to go to ? In proportion to
their respective numbers, indeed, more
theatres keep open in New
summer than Protestant, or, at any rate,
dissenting churches.
The lot of a private watchman is or
ought to be a happy one. At the trial of
a detective for making an illegal arrest
yesterday, the victim, who is a watch
man, testified that he received $8 a month
from a single firm for his services, and
that he was employed by forty firms. As
he is quite a large property owner in
Brooklyn, the inference is that he receives
an equal sum from each of his employers,
so that his income must tie $320 a month!
At any rate, so stands the record. .
New York is no longer to send its corpses
to Washington, Pa., to be burned. A cre
matory is to be erected in the town of
Newtown, within thirty minutes walk
from the ferries, and we shall burn our
own corpses hereafter. D.

THE CENTURY PLANT.
Some Mistaken Ideas About It—When
It Blooms.
Said a well known florist to a reporter
of the Cleveland Herald, in response to
the query whether he ever saw a cen
tury plant in bloom: “Only once, and
that was a great many years ago in a
conservatory in London, when a plant,
generally supposed to have attained the
age of 100 years, began to show signs of
life by sending out a stem in the centre,
which grew from seven to eight inches
daily. It at once began to attract general
attention. The stem grew larger every
day. The plant was moved from place to
place, for the glass roof was not high
enough, until, as a last resort, it was
placed under the cupola. Before many
days the stem reached the cupola roof, and
in order that its progress might not be re
tarded, the glass was removed and the
roof raised. When the stem had attained
a height of about 43 feet, if I remember
rightly, it stopped growing, and numerous
small branches grew out of the main stem,
each of which was topped with a cluster
of magnificent greenish-yellow flowers,
forming a solid bush of beautiful flowers
of about 10 feet in height. It seemed to
me all London flocked to see that flower,
and it was the topic of conversation every
where.”
“Is it a fact that they bloom only every
100 vears?”
“That's a mistaken idea, which has long
ago been exploded. The American aloe,
or century plant, as It is commonly known,
will sometimes bloom when but" 23 years
old. It altogether depends upon the cli
mate and upon the care. At times it wiU
not bloom unless it has attained the age of
100 years, but there are not many aloes in
northern climates which attain’ such an
age.”
“Are they a popular house plant In this
region ?”
“Yes, they are growing in popularity
every year, but, as a rule, people do not
know how to treat them, and the conse
quence is that they die before they are any
kind ot an ornament?”
“What do you consider a proper mode
of treatment of that plant V’
“In the first place they must be placed
in a wooden pot, pail or keg- earthenware
pots are liable to be injurious. Before
planting them It is essential that the
drainage should be perfect—say three
large round holes in the bottom—and be
fore placing the earth in the vessel a quan
tity of broken crockery or pebbles at the
bottom will improve its drainage. It also
requires constant watering and a great
deal of care and attention.”
“Will a century plant bloom more than
once ?”
“No, sir; after the disappearance of the
flowers the plant withers and dies, and no
care in the world will save it.”
TWO ROVING TYKES.
A Couple of Celebrated English Canine
Travelers.
There is a famous traveling dog in Eng
land known as “Railway Jack,” says the
Golden Argosy. He spends the greater
part of his time in making excursions
over the railroads of the kingdom, and has
even been in Scotland and France. Of
course the railway hands all know him,
and a few months ago. when he was run
over and lost a leg, they were all extreme
ly sympathetic and took great pains to
convey him home. After Jack got out
again he resumed his travels, and quite
recently the English papers had an in
teresting account of the attentions paid
him by the Prince and Princess of Wales,
who met him at a railroad junction wait
ing for a train.
There is another dog, a pure Scotch
colley named “Help,” who has not been
as long known as Jack, and leads a
similar life, though more useful. He is
employed to make collections for the
“Railway Servants’ Orphan Fund,” and
in this service he brings in, on the aver
age, over 110 a week. This amounts to
enough, in the course ol a year, to support
six orphan children. He carries on this
honorable canvass on all the railways,
being “employed” by a charitable society,
lie has visited a great number of the chief
cities in England and Wales, and has
twice crossed the channel to France.
This useful dog has a plated medal
attached to his collar, bearing the follow
ing inscription: “1 am Help, the railway
dog of England, and traveling agent for
the orphans of railway men who are
kiUed on duty. My office is 306 City
Road, London, where subscriptions will
be thankfully received and acknowl
edged.” Help makes his circuit of the
trains under the eye of the conductor.
He does not perform any tricks, but
silently exhibits his medal. First and
last, he makes his appeal to the majority
of British travelers. After this we have
no excuse for saying that dogs are only
good as targets for a stone.
In.linn Marriage Advertisements.
The advertisements published in the
Indian Social Reformer and Marriage
Advertiser, which aims at the promotion
of widow marriages and the discourage
ment of child marriages, occasionally
affords very amusing reading. Take the
following : (35) “Akhatri of a very high
family of Thapur Gote, aged 18, who
is giving up this year for the Middle
school examination, wishes to marry a
widow, whose age should be 12 or 13
years, who must be nice-looking, and who
must also have|received some education.”
A school boy of 18, advertising for a
widow of 12 or 13! A Bengalee gentleman
(14) described himself “as of fine feature
and fair color.” What bachelor with a
heart will not at once answer No. 32, wno
is “a Bengalee lady who became a widow
when she was 11 years of age, and who
possesses a fair complexion and long
beautiful hair?” An eligible, No. 36,
who describes himself as employed on the
Sind, Puujaub and Delhi Railway, on a
salary of 14 rs. per month, wants to marry
“with any kind of ceremony.” Another
gentleman, whose wishes are honored by
being noticed by the editor, “has ex
pressed his desire to marry a widow who
did not see the face" of her husband.”
Children’s Spending Money.
Sew England. Journal of Education.
One very great fault of the American is
the recklessness with which he spends his
earnings. It is especially noticeable in
the city bred. We are inclined to think
with Dr. Baar that the fault lies back in
childhood. Children are not taught when
young the value of the money they spend
so thoughtlessly for trifles. Dr. Baar
would have them work for every cent they
receive.
“I will not say,” he remarks, “that
every trifling labor should be rewarded.
Oh, no. I mean to say that every child
should perform a certain duty, and that in
fulfilling this duty conscientiously it
should receive a small amount ot money.
There are various duties with which we
can intrust a child. For instance, the
one can be directed to keep the library in
order; the other can be sent out on regu
lar errands; the third can be charged to
assist the little ones in their lessons; the
fourth can be employed in copying letters
or documents; the fifth can be used to see
that the house in front and in the back is
always kept clean and tidy; the sixth can
be told to collect or to pay our weekly or
monthly accounts, and the seventh and
eighth can be made responsible for the
order in the play-yard and for the neat
appearance of the garden.”

George rather allowed that he did not

“I have always admired Gen. Sherman,”

“Yes," George replied, “Gen. Sherman

COLD TEA ON POPOCATAPETL.
How Two American Girls Made the
Ascent of the Great Mountain.
Minerva and I, with our guides, left
Amecameca on the 13th of April, says a
Mexico letter to the Denver Tribune.
The first night we passed far up the slope
at the house of Don Damingo Zila. By 5
the next morning we were 12,000 feet
above the sea. At an elevation of 13,000
feet the scenes were grand, impressive
even, to the Yankee girl who had learned
to climb at Pike’s Peak. The clouds
gathered and hastened us on and up. And
now the struggle began. Our alpenstocks
were no fanev affairs—chamois horn tip
and other continental nonsense—but stout
sticks, piked with iron, which we drove
down desperate depths and to which we
I clung with despairing grip. Our guide
i book advises travelers to “provide them
selves with overcoats, veils and alpen
stock, which they drive into the ashes
and volcanic sand.” We had indulged in
wild jokes about taking veils and over
coats “to drive into the volcanic sand,”
but we found danger of literaUy following
this advice, danger of sinking" ourselves,
veils, overcoats and all, beyond exhuma
tion. We floundered through the black
sand and gained the first fluted ruffle of the
white skirt ot snow that drops down from
the cone. Then clinging to our guides,
scuffing, slipping over the rough blocks of
ice and snow; falling back to rest but a
moment, then staggering on again;
dragged and pushed; hands torn and bleed
ing from clutching the sharp edge of the
ice barriers; tumbling on,, half crazed
with pains that dart through eyes and
forehead, for four long hours we travel,
until at last we nearly totter over the edge
of the bleak and yawning gulf and hear
roaring in our ears, the triumphant voice
of the guide, as he cries: “Mira, aqui
esta la crater.” [Look, here is the crater.]
Woman’s pluck has won, and we have the
satisfaction of seeing poor bruin, who re
sembles Hamlet only in being “fat and
scant of breath,” the last to reach the goal
of our united ambition.
Rolled in my warm Scots plaid, and the
/ionti nnr namo **w Aziv-Lcml 1U"
lieved by a slight hemorrhage from both
nose and ears, 1 was soon as snug as
though in my own “rug” below, and a
glass of cold tea brought me to a realizing
sense of making the most of the hour we
were to spend on the summit. The day
was clear and fine ; but I must be truthful,
and say that the view aboye 15,000 feet is
not satisfactory. An area of 100,000 square
miles is well enough to talk of, but too
vast for human limitations and human
eyes. Indistinct and shadowy, here the
earth and the sky “seem closing down like
a book that is read.” The clouds lay be
low, and iff one direction a fierce storm
was spending its fury.' We could see the
lightning flash, making strange rifts
among the dark shadows.
The crater js very similar to Vesuvius,
only being about three times as large, and
is silent, except occasional reverberations
of sound from the sulphur works below.
A dense cloud of brimstone blue ascends
lorever and ever from the horrible depths.
To-day more than one hundred Indians are
working in the crater. They ascend and
descend continually, not on a heavenly
ladder, but by means of a rude whim and
a turbine which is being put in for hoist
ing. Fancy it—a turbine wheel 18,000 feet
in the air. "They have huts 1,800 feet down
in the crater. And down in that inferno
they actually live, often not coming up in
the sunlight for a month at a time. Their
teeth soon wear away and their clothes
decay and drop off; but I was told they
are content, and suffer no ill effects that
money and metzeal—Mexican tanglefoot
would not mend. But it needs a union of
the imagination of Dante with the pen
of Dore to give you their pictures.
The descent was rapid. The guides
rolled us up in straw mats and slid us
down the glacier-like cone. A grand ex
perience in tobogganing it was, but the
bruises will long outlast the experience.
Another night we spent with the feeble
conies, and the following day were riding
among the cacti and palms of the valley, ‘
A WOULD-BE PENSIONER,
Pension Swindlers Exposed..
The Century for July.
At a club dinner in New York recently,
an examining surgeon related the lollow
ing inoident, showing how the arrears act
developed pessioners out of sound and
undeserving men. During the war he
was turgeen of an infantry regiment.
When the regiment first went into battle
he observed, sitting behind a big tree, at
a safe tfistance from the fighting line, the
captain of one of the companies.
“\that are you doing here, Captain?”
asked the doctor.
rl’m not feeling well,” replied the offi
cer, in a doleful voice.
The surgeon was too busy looking after
the wounded to stop and inquire as to his
complaint. A few weeks later the regi
ment again got under tire, and the sur
geon found the same Captain skulking be
hind a barn.
“Hello! sick again?” he exclaimed.
“WeH, the fact is, doctor, I’m not ex
actly sick. I may as well own up that
I’m a coward. There’s no help for it. It
must be constitutional. Now, doctor,
what’s the use of my staying in the army?
Won't you help me get a discharge?”
The surgeon thought he was doing the
country a service when, a few days after
ward, he recommended that the man be
discharged on the ground of general dis
ability. He heard nothing of the Captain
until sixteen years later, when he received
a letter from the Pension Office informing
him that Captain Blank had applied for a
pension irom the date of his muster-out,
and that as he, as surgeon of the regi
ment, had certified to the disability,
would he kindly inform the government
as to the nature of the disease from
which the officer suffered! The
surgeon replied that the CaDtain’s
complaint was chronic and incurable
cowardice, not contracted in the line of
his duty, but constitutional. The Cap
tain’s name did not go upon the roll, and
his plan for getting some four thousand
dollars for arrears and twenty dollars a
month for the rest of his life came to
grief. How many schemes no less dis
honest have succeeded through the com
plaisance of examining surgeons, less
honest than the narrator of this incident,
could only be ascertained by a thorough
overhauling of the whole pension list and
a re-examination of the entire army oi
pensioners.
Beecher’s Luxury.
Ithaca Journal.
Mr. Beecher has directed his manager,
Mr. Pond, to book an extensive lecturing
tour for next year. Mr. Beecher’s salary
is $20,000 per annum. He annually re
ceives double this sum from his lectures
and a large additional sum from his pen.
He is not ricn, however. He keeps open
house (with his son, with whom he re
sides), and gives, loans, indorses and
does other un business-like things con
stancy at a heavy cost to his treasury. It
is said that beyond his farm at Feekskill,
the house and stock thereon, and his
library and bric-a-brac there and at
Brooklyn, the great word painter has
nothing to show for his large income for
each of very many years. His library is
so large that it is now being catalogued
with a view to soon making a sale there
from. He has expended, it is esti
mated, $130,000 in books and as many
more have been given him by publishers.
His house at Peekskill, built not long
since* Mr. Beecher says, has cost him
$40,000. Others who watch business mat
ters closer and are familiar with its
growth, say that $70,000 would be nearer
the correct sum. His cows are all Alder
neys, and the herd Is believed to be worth
$15,000 to SIB,OOO. His farm and its man
ner of running and even hospitality is
enough in itself to absorb a large income.
It is yet somewhat encumbered. His col
lection of bric-a-brac would make a large
and fashionable museum. Fine prints,
bronzes, printing, statuary—anything
beautiful in shape or color—find a wor
shiper in Mr. Beecher, and it is said that
he cannot go through the streets of New
York or Brooklyn without becoming a
purchaser as heroically as he may labor
to resist and avert his eyes from tempting
show windows.
Gathering Gulls’ Eggs.
Judge Sawyer has decided that the
ejectment by United States Marshal Poole
of the egg gatherers from the South Faral
lon island was right, says a SanFraneisco
paper. Gathering of gull eggs is now con
fined to the two smaller of the Farallones,
the gatherers not being allowed upon the
larger, where the eggs are the most nu
merous. This makes the supply much
less than the demand. The season for
gull eggs will not this year come in be
fore the Ist of June. The value of gull
eggs in the California market is about
thirty and thirty-five cents per dozen, or
the same as chicken eggs. From 1,000 to
1,200 dozen a week are gathered in the
season. These are sold not altogether to
hotels and restaurants, as is supposed,
but are extensively used by individuals.
They are a very strong food, and, there
fore, valuable in cooking, though many
have tastes too sensitive to successfully
cope with the gull in an egg state, even
when shrouded in the mysteries of a res
taurant custard or a German pancake.
AN ENOCH ARDEN ROMANCE.
RatorW of Forty-Niner Who Had Bean
Given up as Dead—He Find. His In
fant Sob k* Middle-Aged Man, and His
Wife a Wi.dow After Having Been
Twice Marries- 1 During His Long Ab
sence.
This town, says a Muncie, Ind., special
to the New York Sun, is agitated by the
return yesterday morning of Thompson
Walling from Weatherby, Oregon, to a
wife whom he left thirty-five years ago,
and whom he finds a widow after having
been twice married during his absence.
Fifty years ago George Shafer, who came
from Pennsylvania, was a well-to-do far
mer in Muncie, Joseph Walling, a pros
perous tanner, lived just outside of the
then village of Munceytown. a cluster of
log cabins and little houses, with
a log court house. Susannah Shafer, a
daughter of the farmer, was just growing
into womanhood, and young Thompson
Walling, the tanner’s son, became enam
ored of her, and, before the parents knew
the truth, they were pledged to each
other. On April 1,1841, they were mar
ried, and among the guests "were a vouth
and maiden, friends of the bride and
froom, now Mr. Volney Willson and wife.
he union was happy. Three children
were born to Walling and his wife, one of
whom died, leaving a boy and girl.
When the gold fever of 1*49 broke out
young Walling became a victim, and with
SSOO loaned to him by his friend, Volney
Willson, he left for California with Arch.
Hamilton, Theo. Burt, Stephen Hamilton
and son, Henry Wvsor, Jas. Russv. Dr.
Hathaway, Chas. McGlaughlin (the rail -
! road king, latelv shot by his emplove in
San Francisco), Sam’l Martin and others,
now prominent citizens of Muncie. The
mines of California and Idaho were suc
cessively tried, and one by one the party
returned, save Walling. McGlaughlin and
Russy. the latter of whom with a man
named Wood v from this county, met
his deatc at the hands of the Indians.
Time passed, and letters from Wailing
came less and less frequent. In 1852 a
• drait for fSOO
ceived by Mrs. Walling. She never heard
from him after that, and his silence was
accepted as proof that he was dead. In
fact, his father’s estate at his death was
administered as though young Walling
was dead. His wife obtained a divorce,
and in 1862 married Horatio F. Wilcoxon,
who was killed in a saw mill in 1865. A
year later she married Jeremiah Veach,
who.died two years ago. Then she lived
with her son near Mancie.
Volney Wilson alone never shared the
belief that Thompson Walling was dead.
For years he spent all his leisure time
writing letters of inquiry to out-of-the
way places on the Pacific coast. One
day in February last the Deputy Post
master at Weatherbv, Ore., saw a letter
postmarked Muncie, Ind., addressed to
the Postmaster. Opening it, he found
that it was from his old friend Wilson, in
quiring for him. He, answering, gave the
story of his life and misfortunes. Then
he wrote to his wife, detailing his sorrows,
his efforts to get home, his failures, his
ill health, and his final conclusion
that fate was against him, followed by
a relapse into indifference. Yesterday
morning this city was electrified to see
him o i the street. Before noon his son,
now almost a middle-aged man, came for
him and took him to the home of his
former wife, where to many friends he
detailed his romantic experience, which
is almost beyond belief.
Mrs. Veach, his wife, expresses herself
as glad of his return, and the meeting is
said to have been most affecting. It is
thought a second wedding will fully re
unite them. Should it occur, Volney
Wilson and his wife will again hold the
place of honor they held almost a half
century ago.
Tom Ewing's Letter.
Ben Perly Poore in Boston Budget.
Tom Ewing, of (Milo, who had been ap
pointed Secretary of the Treasury by
President Harrison, but who resigned
when President Tyler arrayed himself
against the Democratic party, published
his letter of resignation, which gave ail
the facts in the case. This he felt bound
to do to protect his own reputation. He
had conveyed the assurances ot the Presi
dent to Congressmen Berrien and Ser
geant, who spoke and acted upon the
iaith of those assurances, which were
broken almost as soon as made. Had he
resigned silently he or those gentlemen
who had confided in his representations
must have been implicated in a falsehood,
for Mr. Tyler, in his veto message, indi
rectly denied the authoritv under which
his Secretary had acted. Representative
Mallory, of Virginia, having asserted, in
debate, that Secretary Ewing, by reveal
ing what bad occurred in Cabinet meet
ings, had betrayed the President’s confi
dence, Mr. Ewing wrote a spicy card,
which concluded thus:
“I deny that Cabinet consultations are
entitled to tbe claim of absolute secrecy
for which the President and his adherents
contend. Matters which occur there ought
not to be lightly or wantonly exposed; but
on sufficient occasion they are the fit sub
ject of disclosure and comment. It has
been the constant practice for tbe last
two hundred years so to deal with them
in the English House of Commons, and
that, according to circumstances, with or
without the assent of the King: and it is
more especially the case in the United
States, where the President is not the
sovereign or entitled to allegiance. If I
need refer to authority, I will name the
‘Anas’ of Mr. Jefferson, where he treats
what occurred in the Cabinet council
with the same freedom with which a
member of Congress treats the debates in
the House; and this, too, when neither the
public welfare nor personal justice de
mands their disclosure.”
A Dangerous American Tendency.
A Darwinian Cambridge professor, says
the Boston Transcript , sends us tbe fol
lowing: “There is one practice of the
Yankees which threatens to develop a
most undesirable characteristic. It is the
habit of yawning. Apparently it is rather
more affected by people of the cities, es
pecially by females and the more talk
ative of the males. Unfortunately it is
not at all confined to them. Naturally
enough motionless jaws become tiresome
to persons who ordinarily keep them
moving. It is amusing to watch an indi
vidual exercise his hyoid apparatus like
an asphyxiating fish, while the person op
posite involuntarily—so sympathetic we
are—gapes like a boa-constrictor, and is
imitated by another and another down
tbe car or through the audience. But
there is a serious aspect to the case. By
the laws of use and heredity we are ab
normally developing the muscles which
open the mouth. 11 this is allowed to go
on, by and by great development of the
mouth-openers will become characteristic
of the American. There are altogether
too many people in this country at pres
ent who have great difficulty in keeping
their mouths shut.”
