“I see that some one has been tell

members a previous life on this earth,”
said Isaac G. Foster to a Globe-Demo
crat man. “I,have met several people
who profess to retain shadowy mem
ories of a previous existence, but the
most remarkable case I know of is that
of my daughter.
“Twelve years ago I resided in Ef
fingham county, Hlinois. I there
buried a daughter named. Maria, who
was just budding into womanhood.
The next year I removed to Dakota,
where I Have since resided.' Nine
years ago another daughter was born,
whom we christened Nellie, but who
has always persisted in calling herself
Maria. She says that the name be
longs to her, as we used to call her
Maria... Some time since I returned to
Effingham county to settle up some
business and took Nellie with me. She
not only recognized the old home, but
many people she had never seen, hut
whom my first daughter knew very
well. A mile from the old home was

The Silence of the Plains.
From the Augusta Century.
Tj® speak of darkness which can be
felt. Similarly we may speak of silence
which can be heard, and this is another
impressive element of an experience of
the plains. On the sea, except in calm,
and in the forest and among the places
of human habitation, there is always
sound, even at night; but on the tree
less plains, in the midst of normal ac-
there is silence as of the grave.
Even a hurricane is comparatively
inaudible, for there are no waters to
dash, no forests to roar, no surfaces to
resound, while the short grasses give
forth no perceptible rustle; and there
is something awful in the titanic rush
of contending natural forces which you
can feel, but cannbt see or hear. The
wind may sweep away your breath on a
current of sixty miles an hour, and the
clouds may rush through .the sky as in
a tornado, but no sounds confound the
ear. A winter blizzard, which carries
on its frigid breath destruction to life,
which blinds the eyes, and which drives
the particles of ice and snow with cut;
ting force against the frozen cheek and
through all hut the heaviest fur cloth
ing, is comparatively inaudible, andthe
traveler appears to himself to struggle
vainly, with an implacable, ghostly force
which fills the whole creation. When,
also, nature is undisturbed in tranquil
summer mood, and the sky is blue and
flecked with fleecy clouds floating far
aloft, all sound seems to have died out
of the world, and a mantle of silence
enfold evetything. Partaking of the
predominant natural sentiment, man
becomes silent also; he ceases to talk
to his mates and becomes moody and
taciturn. ' The merry song of the voy
ager,re-echoing between wooded shores,
the shout, the joke of the cheerful
traveler here, are stilled—stifled you
xpight almost, say—by the immeasurable
muffle of silence. Here are no woods
to give back the answering shout; and
the crack of the rifle is significant.
The cry of the passing wild-fowl in the
darkness, as you lie awake in your tent
at midnight, comes to you with a weird,
faint, far-away sound as if heard in a
dream, and even the rare thunder
breaks impotently on the continent of
silence. If a comrade is lost, and you
wish to make some sign to direct him
to the camp, no noise which you can
make with voice or firearms will he of
any ayail, for such noises will penetrate
only a few rods at farthest. By day

visit it. I took her there and she
marched straight to the desk her sister

It seems like the dead come back from

Defeat Harrison and End SectionaUsm.
From the St. Louis Republic (Dem.)
With the defeat of Harrison section
alism would end, and under new lead
ership the republican party would be in
a position to gain a permanent foothold
in the, country. On its present basis,
with plutocracy governing it through
civil war radicalism, it cannot outlast
the civil war spirit. The re-election of
Harrison would give four years more of
power, and at the end of that time com
plete extinction in such a tremendous
political upheaval as was only suggested
in the result of 1890.
The Old North State.
The third party is reported to he los
ing ground in North Carolina, where a
few months ago it was thought to be
strong enough to carry the State. This
has been brought about by Gen. Adlai
Stevenson who is waking up the peo
ple of the Old North State by his elo
quent appeals in behalf of democracy
and tariff reform. It is now confident
ly asserted, by those in a position to
know whereof they speak, that North
Carolina will vote the democratic ticket
in November.

or, if these have not been provided,
fire-brands from the campfire may be
thrown up with some hope of success
No one can know, until he has experi
enced it, the longing which takes pos
session of one who has been for weeks
practically separated from speaking
men, once more to hear the sounds of
common life, the roar of the city
streets, the sound of bells, and even
crowing of the cock in the early dawn.
A Good Example. .
The way to get new settlers to come
to a section is to show them the advan
tages of that section. The people
ought to understand this, and many of
them do, but they are unable to sup
port a bureau of immigration. The
railroads out west do this work them
selves, and the Central road and the
Georgia Southern in this State have
done some good missionary work ip
this direction. The latter line es
pecially is doing good work now and is
setting a fine example for other roads
and the whole state with ite bureau of
immigration. The Fort Talley Leader
says it is inducing the farmers along its
line to put out fine peach orchards, as.
well as pears and grapes, and has helped
a great many to start in the tobacco
business—providing the seed, showing
them how to. plant and care for it, and
is now having barns put up to cure it.
Major Glessner, the road’s Cooqmis-
sioner of Immigration, te kept busy
going over tiie line with Northern peo
ple who are interested in all these
things. As a consequence, the road is
rapidly filling up-the waste lands along
ite line, and while providing for its
prople, is also assuring for itself the
carrying of crops in all seasons of the
year. Between cotton, tobacco, peach
es, grapes and melons its cars will never
be idle, to say nothing of the truck in
dustry it is fostering from one end of
the line to the other.
If all the Georgia railroads would
follow the example of the Georgia
Southern system, in a few years they
would so change the course of things
that Georgia farmers would be con
tinual sellers in the markets, and never
buyers, and naturally that would bring
independence, and money, and ease,
and comfort to the farmers, and good
business and dividends to the railroads..

himself a democrat.

The Bride on Crntches avJ the Groom
‘ Walking with a Cane.
From the Chicago News-Record.
Some matches are made in heaven.
One has been made in the Cook county
hospital. A man with a sprained ankle
met a young woman who had been
crippled by inflammatory rheumatism,
and they felt sorry for each other. The
result was'a wedding, and a very happy
wedding it seemed to be.
Chas. Chouquette is a sturdy French
man, who has a good job as-foreman of
the delivery wagons of Reid, Murdoch
& Co. . He has been with .the company
about ten years. Last month when he
sprained his ankle he was taken to ward
11 in the Cook county hospital, and
there he remained for s- veral weeks,
Mme. Arabella Root dc F Armitage
who te interested in charitable work
called often at the surgical ward to dis
tribute flowers or lead in singing hymns
Many of the patients, including Chou
quette, were not.able-to attend the con
certs for convalescents, and they en
joyed those visits. Chouquette became
known to the visitor, who about the
same time was deeply interested in the
case of May Hayes, a pretty convales
cent and ah orphan girl. The girl had
been at the hospital several months suf
fering from rheumatism. The surge
ons had performed an operation on her
knee and she was crippled for all time
but she managed to get about on crutch
es or a cane. Her ward was No. 7
but she went with Mme. de F Armitage
to ward 11 to help sing the hymns, and
there she met Chouquette, the French
man, who was propped up on his'pil
lows waiting for his ankle to get-well.
Between verses they sympathize with
each other.
May was obliged to leave the hospit
al to make room for some one else. The
surgeon said she could not be helped
any further. Then Mme. de P Armi-
tage, who te trying to found a home for
convalescents, came to the News-Rec
ord on Aug. 6 and told of May’s case
and asked if any one would care for
the orphan girl for a short time.
Within a few days a lady on the south
side offered to give May a -Borne until
she could find some light employment,
such as sewing. Within a day or two
after May went to her home on Thir
tieth street. A friend of tiie family
came to make a visit. It was Chou
quette, still hobbling about with his
tender ankle.
After that there were many surprises.
The crippled girl and the lane man
were surprised to meet. The lady of
tiie house was surprised to find that
they knew each other. May was sur
prised to hear that Charles had fallen
in love with her. Mme. de P Armitage
was surprised last evening when she
visited the home and witnessed the
marriage of her protege and the man
from ward 11. The pastor, the Rev.
W. F. Black, was more surprised than
any one when called upon to unite a
man with a cane and a girl with crutch
es. It was a pretty wedding, with
flowers, and the kind-hearted woman
who cared for the orphan girl has let
her best rooms to the bride and
groom. • «
One Man’s Awful Mistake.
“I made the awful mistake of mak
ing love to my own wife one day last
week,” said W. T. Mason, as he drew
a chair up to the charmed circle where
sat the story tellers in the Lindell ro
tunda, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat. “I had been down to Kanakee
oh a business trip and took the night
train for Chicago, where I reside. The
coach was chock-a-block, with the ex
ception of one double seat, which was
occupied by a stylish-looking woman,
who sat by the window and had her
veil down. I received permission to
occupy the seat with her, and we were
soon chatting pleasantly. I thought
her voice sounded familiar, but fate
had ordained that I should make an ass
o!f myself. I tried to get her to put up
her veil, but she objected that the cin
ders got into her eyes. To make a long
story short, I struck "up a desperate flir
tation with her. She admitted that she
was married, but said that her husband
was a graceless scamp, who was always
flirting with other women and neglect
ing her. Of course, I smympathized
with her, and told Her that a iman who
would neglect so charming a woman
ought to be kicked to death by a blind
mule. Was I married ? Certainly not.
Weill, we finally reached Chicago and I
handed her into a cab. Then she lifted
her veil. It was my wife ! This story
stops right here.”
An English electrical engineer, Pro
fessor Blyth, has been experimenting
extensively to see whether windmills
could not be mape to furnish the -me
chanical power necessary to generate
electricity. He finds that it can be done
with tolerable certainty of dependence.
He adopted the American type of wind
mill with sheet iron arms and sails, be
cause canvas sails are torn to shreds in
gale. Here seems a fine field for
American invention to enter.
In cases where dandruff, scalp diseases,
falling and grayness of the hair appear,
do not neglect them, but apply a proper
remedy and tonic like Hall’s Hair Re-

Licking the Editor-
XI. Quad in New York World.
On the second day of my stay in the
town I hunted up the printing office to
pay my respects to the editor of the
only weekly iu the village. I found
him to be a small, stoop-shouldered
man, whose face hadn’t a grain of
“sand” in it. As I knew the population
to be rather rough; I wondered to my
self how he managed when he had a
caller who demanded satisfaction. He
hadn’t a weapon of any sort lying
about, nor had he provided a backdoor
through which he might fly if there was
any prospect of a fuss. We were talk
ing in a general way when I heard a
yell at the foot of the stairs and the
noise of heavy feet ascending. The
editor heard it, too, and he knocked on
-a door dividing his sanctum into two
rooms, and said:
“Hannah, get ready for business !’’’
copy of the paper in his hand, and
yelled out:
“Whar in Texas is the bloody hyena
who runs this infenal dishrag ?”
“My friend, did you come to sub
scribe to the Banner ?” softly inquired
the editor. - l
“Subscribe to nothing. I came here
to give somebody an . all-fired licking
for lying abont me !”
“Yes^-I see. Don’t want any job
work?”
“Job blazes! I tell you I’mgoingto
pulverize the editor of this paper for
lying about me! Whar te he ?’’
“Won’t an apology in the next issue
do ?”
“Not much! No man can insult me
and then crawl out of it. Trot out the
editor and let me lam him!-”
‘ ‘Hannah! ’ ’ called the editor. ‘ ‘Han
nah, you’ll have to step out. Sorry to
interrupt you, hut this gentleman is
very aggressive.”
The door of the other room opened
and a woman six feet high and as broad
shouldered as a man came out. She
had on eye-glasses, but she removed
them, spat on her hands and sailed for
the caller withoui-a word. She banged
him against the stove, seized and
whirled him about, and as he faced the
stairs she gave him a kick which lifted
his heels off the floor and jumped him
down three steps. He went clattering
down without a word, and when he had
disappeared she nodded to me and re
entered her room.
‘My sister and also the editor of ffiy
religious department!” explained the
editor in his soft and gentle way ;_ and
the incident was not even referred to
again during my call.
‘LORD CHARLES BERESFORD.’
WHY GO “BROKE?”
Deserted the Wife Who Bailed Him and
Tried to Blackmail Her Mother.
From the New York Sun.
The man arrested in Albany for at
tempting to blackmail his mother-in-
law, Mrs. S. P. Lilienthal, of Belvoir,
on the Hudson, north of Yonkers, has
traveled under many names since he
came to the United States in the spring
of 1890. He has been known as Lord
Charles Beresford, Walter S. Beresford,
Sydney Lascelles, Walter Eaton and
William Bond, as it suited him to use
any of the names. Under the namq_of
•Beresford he swindled several business
menjof .Rome, Ga., soon after his ar
rival in this country, and it was for
forging a draft for §1,000 that he was
arrested in this city in July, 1891, on'a
requisition^from Georgia. The young
man fought the ^requisition in t
__ courts; and was not handed over to*

Raleigh's Death.
From the Youth’s Companion.
The record of men who live nobly
may be worthily supplemented by that
of the souls who depart this life like
Christian gentlemen. Charles I and
Louis XTI went through the ordeal of
execution with the fine solemnity be
fitting a king in such extremity, and
Sir Walter Raleigh died in a manner
befitting his life and purposes.
On the morning of his execution he
turned to his old friend, Sir Hugh
Creston, who had tried to approach the
scaffold and was repulsed by the sheriff,
with the smiling remark:
“Never fear but I shall have
place!”
A little later a very bald man pressed
forward to see Raleigh and, pray with
him. Sir Walter took off his own em
broidered cap[and placed it on the head
of his spectator, saying:
“Take this, good friend, to remem
ber me, for you have more need of it
than I.”
“Farewell, my lords,” he said to the
courtiers who came lo take affectionate
leave of him. “I have a long journey
before me, and I must say good-by.”
Then he reached the scaffold, and
said as he did so, “Now I am going to
God.”
‘This is a sharp medicine, but it will
cure all diseases.”
The very executioner shrank from
beheading him, but the illustrious pris
oner exclaimed:
‘‘What dost thou, fear? Strike,
man!” and so ended a gentle and fear
less life. .
Some men lay money up for a rainy
day and others lay it up simply be
cause they love it. A man by the name
of James Stewart suddenly died in a
workhouse in London last week who
lived as a pauper and seemed to be pen
niless. After his death $10,000 in.
money besides twenty shares in mining
companies were fonnd secreted in the
lining of his coat.
As a general rule, it is best not to cor
rect costiveness by the • use of saline or
drastic medicines. When a purgative
is needed, the most prompt, effective,
and beneficial is Ayer’s Pills. Their ten
dency is to restore, and not weaken, the
normal action of the bowels. *
The Huntsville (Ala.) Cotton Mill
Company, manufacturers of yarns,
warps, etc., has declared an annual
dividend of 10 per cent., besides hav
ing paid off during the year a bonded
debt of $10,000, and with money the in
treasury. This mill operates over 10,-
000 spindles.
Just how an alterative medicine cleans
es the system is ah open question; but
that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla does produce a
radical change in the blood is well at
tested on all sides. It. is everywhere con
sidered the best remedy for blood dis
eases. '
when he was taken to Georgia, tried,
convicted, and sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary.
His arrest led to the discovery that
the young swindler had imposed on
many persons here,-among them Rich
ard K. Fox, who suffered in purse to
the extent of $500. He also secured
entrance to the New York Athletic
Club and the Manhattan Club.
During his imprisonment his young
’wife, who was Miss Maude Lilienthal,
daughter of the millionaire widow of
Christian H. Lilienthal of Yonkers, re
fused to believe him guilty, and left her
elegant home ou the Hudson to be near
her husband in the Tombs. She went
with him to Georgia, stood by him
through his. trial, and furnished hail for
him when he appealed from the. judg
ment of conviction,' which has - recently
been affirmed by the higher “Court.
The devoted wife’s reward was Beres-
ford’s desertiop of her On June 3 last-,
when he left her at Birmingham, Ala.
It seems, too, that he transferred his
affections to another woman, with whom
he wps in company when he was ar
rested at Albany.
Miss Lilienthal met and became in
fatuated with Sidney Lascelles in Al
giers, where she was traveling with her
mother in 1889. The young man
gained complete possession of the
girl’s heart and had the mother’s assent,
until the latter found that drafts she
had cashed for him proved 'worthless.
Then she retreated with her daughter

“Whaf is your recipe?” inquired
another listener.
“You will all grant me.® said the
young man, “that even the, poorest

After these sententious remarks
the youth turned and walked up

more than $1,000,000. What led to
the latest arrest of the swindler was a
letter demanding $2,500 from Mrs.
Lilienthal, failing to satisfy which
Lascelles threatened to furnish an
alleged family scandal to the press.

On-fihe shores of the Moray Firth
(the spot need not be more specifically
located) there is a flourishing little vil
lage of some 1,400 inhabitants, consist
ing chiefly of fisherfolk. The young
man and maiden do not court in the or
thodox fashion. Their method is much
more prosaic, and what te characteris
tic of one case may generally be accep
ted as characteristic of them all. There
is, of course, an occasional instance of
genuine old fashioned courtship, but
that is rather a rare exception.
“Mother,” said one young man on
his return from a successful herring
fishing, “I’m goan to get married,”
“Weel, Jeems; a’think ye sh’d just
gang an’ ask yer cousin Marack.”
And as he had no particular prefer
ence, he went straight away to ask her.
“Wull ye tak me, Marack,” was the
brusque and business-like query which
he put to the young woman in the pres
ence of her sister Bellack. .
But Marack had promised her hand
to another that same evening.
“I canna tak ye, Jeem,” was her re
ply, and then turning to her sister said,
“Tak ye ’im, Ballack,” and ihe sister
took him.

Charles II’s Ready Cash.
Lord Ailesbury thinks that just
before Charles died his affairs were
prosperous. “I will have no more
parliaments,” he said, “for, God be
praised, my affairs are in so good a
posture that I have no occasion to
ask for supplies. A king of England
that is not a slave to 500 kings is
great enough.” “His heart was set
to live at ease, and that his subjects
might live under their own vine and
fig tree.” . “I will have by me 100,000
guineas in my strongbox,” the king
used to say, and Lord Ailesbury
heard that “there was found there
at his death abont £60,000.”
Concerning this Burnet says: “He
left behind him about 90,000 guineas,
which he had gathered either out of
the privy purse or out of the money
which was sent him from France, or
by other methods, and which he had
kept so secretly that no person what
soever kne'w anything of it.”—Black
wood’s Magazine.
