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 a school house where Maria had gone to school. Nellie had 'never seen'the n ight rockets must be sent up as at sea, 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.

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.

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.. Gen. James H. Baker, of St. Paul, Minn., formerly secretary of state of Ohio and later secretary of state and railway commissioner of Minnesota, both of which offices he held as a re publican, and who has been a leading alliancemnn since. 1890, has announced himself a democrat.

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- newer. ~ The Moditetranean sea would cut the United States in two across its greatest breadth, making .an open seafrornNew York to Vancouver. ij 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.

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 to Italy and Switzerland, the It Is Easy Enough, Says the Philoso pher, to r.Iake a Eiving. “No man has any license to be broke in New York.’' The speaker was a well dressed, keen eyed youth of eighteen. “You can earn the undying grati tude of thousands in this city alone if you will tell them how to escape tiie discomforts, not of simple pover ty, but of downright want, ” said a bystander.. “Whaf is your recipe?” inquired another listener. “You will all grant me.® said the young man, “that even the, poorest ‘stake,’ say twenty-five cents, with out much trouble. All right. On that* foundation any boy of six or a man of sixty can earn enough to house and keep him comfortably. How! Lot him invest tin.: morning or evening newspapers, and keep turning over a fair percentage of hEsproffteev ry day. “Even the largest of Park row newsboys seldom earn less than fifty cents a day on a smaller original in vestment than the one I have used for the sake of argument. I know what I am tailring abont, because five years ago I was hustling around in bare feet the same as. the rest of them are now, and I could make my living expenses and have a little to spare at the end of 'every week. Show me a man, woman or child in this city who is a beggar and I will show you an individual who is trio lazy to do even the lightest kind of work. ” • After these sententious remarks the youth turned and walked up Newspaperrow. “There is a young ster who will be worth a big fortune in -time, ” said a bystander. ‘ “I knew him well several years ago when he was regarded by the other newsboys . as a hustler. His clothes were near ly as ragged and Bis face and hands as dirty as the street gamin’s usually are. five years ago he conceived an idea. He knew that there were sev eral of his companions in the street who would rather stand- behind a newsstand for a small daily remuner ation than hustle around the streets , and take chances of-getting‘stuck on their papers, ’ as they express it. He picked out two honest boys and entered into a contract with them. He agreed to pay them forty cents a day to take care of small comer stands. The young man bought all the newspapers find stocked the he suddenly appeared in Yonkers in January, 1891. Miss Lilienthal was as greatly infatuated as ever with the handsome young Englishman, but her mother would not permit a marriage She took her daughter to Sewickley, near Pittsburg, Pa., from which place Lascelles eloped with the girl, marrying her at Beaver. Mrs. Lascelles’ father, Christian H, Lilienthal, died about twelve years ago. He was a tobacco importer in this city, and is reputed to have left his widow 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. No Coortsliip in It. From Chambers’ Journal. 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.
