VOLUME XXL sand, I observed a locomotive in the railroad yard one day It was waiting in the roundhouse, where the locomotives star- It was panting for the journev, it was coaled and fully manned And it had a box the fireman was filling full ofsan-l It appears that locomotives cannot always get a grip On their slender iron pavement, ’cause the wheels are apt to slip; And when they reach a slippery spot, their tacticstb v comnoind, And to get a grip upon the rail, they sprinkle it with sand. It’s about this way with travel along life’s slippery track. If your load is rather heavy and you’re always sliding back; Fo, if a common locomotive you completely understand, You’ll provide yourself in starting with a K' supply of sand. If your track is steep and hilly and you have a heavy grade. And if those who’ve gone before you have the rails quite slippery made. If you ever reach the summit of the upper tableland. You’ll find you’ll have to do it with a liberal use of sand. If you strike some frijil weather anddis- That you’re cover jto liable your cost, slip to on a heavy coat of frost. Then some prompt, decided action will be called into deman 1, And you’d slip way to the bottom if you haveii’t any sand. You can get to any station that is ou life’s schedule seen, If there’s fire beneath the boiler of ambition's strong machine, And you’ll reach a place called Flush town at a rate of speed that’s grand.

Near the bottom of the row a window was open, and, by a geranium that in a pot, tho first and only flo.ver he had seen, a girl was leauing lightly on her elbow. Her soft, hazel eyes were fixed on the opposite doorway. Here a woman with a red faoe and brandishing a broom in her haud was barring the entrance against a herculeau man in a glistening oily frock. “I ax you agin’, John Wade,” shout¬ ed he of tho oily, “if you’re agoin’ to sea?” “An’ I tell you agin’, skipper, replied a dogged voice from the interior, “I ain’t agoin to sea.” “Then,” cried thc giant, wildly, “what am I to do? Here's the vessel read to sail an' you askulkiu’. But, as my name is Bill Thompson, I’ll police ye.” He looked so big and helpless in his muddle that the girl at the window, who seemed used to such scenes, smiled. Looking up at her and seeing for the first time that she was in deep mourning, tho young man smiled ulso. Taen a thought appeared to strike him. “Am 1 of any use?” he said to the wearer of the oily. “I want a job.” The skipper looked at him doubtfully; he thought he was joking. “If you're ready an’wiuin’, tuy lad,” he said, “you’reof use. But if you ain’t, you ain’t. Dye want a berth?” “I want everything,” answered the young man iu a low tone. “I’m home- less and penniless. But I’m a lauds- man.” “That ain’t a bit o’ consequence.

What’s your name, mvlad?” “John Smith,” was the auswer, and his hesitation escaped the skipper. “Well, Smity, for fear o’ accidents, some one had better take your money. Who'll ye leave it with?” The young man again looked up at the window at the sweet, pure face above him. The gaze of the rough sea giant beside him followed his glance. “Oh, I see!” he exclaimed; “yon’re going to ask it, miss. Well, you know where to go. Old Tom Price is the owner, 'an the name of the wessel the Saucy Lass. “Come on, Smith, no more hankyin’; your sweetheart u!l tare your m 3 ney,,” and he seized the newly shipped by the arm. At the word “sweetheart” the cheeks of the girl at the window grew as red as the geranium by her elbow. In a startled manner she stretched over the sill. “No, no,” she cried in confusion, “I do not know tho gentleman, I—I—” But already Smith, with the hand of the skipper on his arm, had been hur- ried out of earshot, and before she could reach the door the two had vanished down the road. Eight weeks later the young man, bronzed and hearty, stood on Yarmouth quay. His sea rig had given place to a decent suit of clothes, and he seemed pondering last which way to go. .

The amount was the sum due to him on his pay card. He had been to the house, but found her gone. Yet here was his money by her in this form. What mystery was this? He lay back in the sun and tried to solve it, but no solution came, and with murmur of the sea in his ears he romantically kissed the order. Then he rose and walked back. On bis homeward path he stopped to buy a morning paper. They were but just in, and the news vendor was smooth- ing them out. Suddenly he caught his bieatb. His gaze was riveted on an ad- vertisement that read thu^r George Neal is earnestly requested to eo n- municate with Messrs.

At Liverpool street he hailed a hansom and was driven to the office of Messrs. Fur- ness & Wapp, solicitors, Lincoln’s Inn pj e l ds . As he burst into the office a carefully dressed old gentleman weariug a pair of gold rimmed glasses stepped forward to greet him. This he did by nearly shaking his arm off. “Why, my dear George,” he cried, “how glad I am to see you. We have been advertising for you all over the country. How is it vou haven’t seen our advertisement before?” have been at sea,” said the visitor, with a smile, “iu a fishing smack.” “Sea—fishing smack!” gasped the lawyer. “You, George 1 Is it pos- sible?” In a few words the young mau told his talc. The old solicitor listened with much interest; then his face grew grave. “So you have not heard the news, my boy,” he said. “Your uncle is dead.” “Dead!” repeated George Neal, sadly, “aud we parted in anger merely because I refused to follow the profession he had chosen for me.” “It we thought oftener of the King of Terrors there would be fewer quar- rels,” said the lawyer, kindly; “but he, too, was sorry, George, though when you hear tho rest you may think he took rather au oid way of showing it. “Y'o’i know, of course, I was the per¬ son most trusted by your uncle; besides being his confidential adviser I wa9 also his friend. Well, as soon as you left I was called in to draw up a fresh will. “At first, my dear boy, he wavered between leaving hia*money to a home for cats and the founing of a colony for re¬ formed pickpockets. These mad pro¬ jects, however, soon evaporated, and, subject to one condition, he made his property over to you.” With a curious expression on his suu- burut face, the young man looked up. “And that condition?” he said. “Excuse me a moment,” said Mr. Furness, looking at his watch. “I ex¬ pect a lady here presently; let us step into my private room.” The lawyer led the way, and in the privacy of this apartment they both sat down again. “And that condition?” said George Neal firmly, “Now mv dear bov ” said the law- ’ ’ j leTthe , , deaTuian^aviThis! , .

The rent problem is the most serious of a11 financial problems to the man of moderate means iu New York. The city has an area of forty-one square miles, in w bich there is a population of nearly 1,* 800,000, while Philadelphia, with over 129 square miles of territory, has sorne- thing over 1,040,000 inhabitants. There is au average of 6.35 square feet space to each inhabitant of New ^ or k. while there is au average of 3425 square feet for each inhabitant of Phila- delphia. There is still room, however, b>r many more people in New- York, although in one district the population is denser than in any other part of the wor hL But New York is long and narrow, with , the business “centre at the south- crn extremity, and, with imperfect sys- te,ns of ™pid transit, this renders the bouse problem much more difficult than * n other cities. It is not surprising, therefore, to learn from the Federal census of 189 J that New York, with 312, < , 6(? families, has ou ^ 81,823 dwellings, while Philadel- P hia < with205,135 mmilies, has 187,052 dwellings.

Over forty-two per cent, of all the dwellings in New York are tene¬ ment houses. There are 8672 dwellings which contain ten families and over each. Over one-fourth of all the dwellings con¬ tain an average of over twenty persons each. Here many a man is obliged to give oue-fourth to one-third of his in¬ come to the landlord.

Burning Preliminary to Tillage. The planters of the Brazilian forest provinces sometimes burn down several square miles of woodland in order to prepare the soil for tillage; but such is the vegetative energy of that moist, warm climate that in less than four years a clearing of that sort will, if left alone, p e again covered with a tangle of bushes aad good sized trees. In Yucatan, too, veritable forests have sprung from the ruins of ancient palace cities which once j were probably surrounded with a con- siderable area ot cleared field. In drier j climates, often on the havoc other hand, which forest leaves fires cause a its traces for half a oentury or more. The fine mountain forests of Attica, which were burned several years ago, have been plowed and replanted with acorns and walnuts, but it has been estimated that twenty years must pass before the ney plantations will repay the outlay witn shade or an armful of fuel.

EX-PRESIDENT HAYES DEAD. He Dies SoMenly from an Attack of RHenmalisi of the Heart Which Was a Surprise to the Public— Short Sketch of His Life. Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes died nt his home in Fremont, Ohio, Tuesdav night at 11 o’clock. The cause of his death was rheumatism of the heart, and was quite unexpected. It was the second attack of the kind he had suffered within two weeks, and although his condition was regarded as somewhat serious, and excited the alarm of his family, the en- courngement the given them by Dr. Hilbest, that family physician, led them to believe the patient would soon recover. For 1 me puonc, SHORT SKETCH op ms CAKEEH. Rutherford Birchard Hays was born in Delaware, October 14, 1822. In the autumn of 1838 he entered Kenyon col- lege, at Grnnbir. Ohio. Ou liis gradua- tion, in August, 1842, he was awarded the valedictory omion, with which he ; °l m ’ C h b ooa afte ^; ard be began p the fl study of . . low at Columbus, K Ohio, and .hen attended a course of lec- tures at Harvard, entering the law school August 2., 184o, and lirushing the studies therein January 18 45. On May J, 184o he was admitted to practice in the courts of Ohio as attorney. Ou December 3, 18o„, he married Lucy TV. Webb, daughter of Dr. James Webb, of Chiliicothe, O. In 1856 he was nominated for the of- lice of common pleas judge, but de- 1 Cincinnati^r^Tllv^l 80 Heitor Heitor of of Cincinnati.

He joined the republican party as soon as it was organixed and advocated the elec- tion of Freemont in 1856, and of Abra- ham Lincoln in 1861. IN THE ARMY. He was Maj >r of the Twenty-third Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. On Sep- t< mber 19, 1861, he was appointed by Genera! Rosecrans, judge advocate of the department of Ohio. In October, 1861, he was promoted to tho rank of lieuten¬ ant colonel. On September 14, 1862, he distinguished himself by gallant conduct iu leading a charge in and holding his position at the head of his men after being severely wounded in the left arm, until he was carried from the field. On October 24, 1862, he was appointed col¬ onel of the same regiment. He distin¬ guished himself in a number of battles during the war. General Grant in his memoirs spoke iu high praise of - General Hayes’ services. After the war General Hayes returned to civil life and took his seat in congress December 4, 1865. On reconstruction he voted with his party. He was re-elected in 1866 and supported the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. In the house of representative he won a reputa ion of a working legislator and a mau of sound judgement. GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENT. In June, 1867, he was nominated for governor of Ohio by the republican con¬ vention. He was opposed by Judge Al¬ len G. Thurman, wh m be defeated. Iu June, I860, Governor Hayes was renom- inattd tor governor and re-elected. In July, 1872, he was nominated for cong¬ ress and was defeated. Iu 1875 he was again nominated for governor of the state. He at first de¬ clined the unsought honor, but after¬ ward accepted. He was elected after a canvass wbich attracted the attention of the country by reason of the national qm stions involved. The national republican convention met at Cincinnati, on June 14, 1876, and Mr. Hayes was nominated for president of the United State*. The principal candidates before the convention were James G. Blaine, Oliver P. Morton, Ben¬ jamin H. Bristow, Roscoe C mklin and John F. Hartrafr. Mr. Hayes was nom¬ inated on the seventh ballot. The result of the election and the acri¬ monious dispute engendered is a matter of too recent history to recall. The can¬ vassing boards of the stab s in question declared ti e republican electors chosen, which gave Mr. Hayes a majority of one in the electoral college, nnd the c riiri- cates of these results were sent to Wash ingtou by the governor of the states. THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. But the democrats charged fraud, nnd other sets of certificates, certifying the democratic elector* to have been elected, arrived at Washington. To avoid » deadlock, which might have happened if the canvass of the e'ectoral votes had been left to both houses of congress, t:ie senate having a republic n and the house of representatives a democratic maj uity, an act advocated by members of both parties w s passed to rtier composed ill contesttd cases to a eotnmis-ion of five senators, five republicans nnd fiv-c judges of the supreme ecu t. The decision of this commission to be final unless set aside by a concurrent vote of the two bouses of congress. The c< mmission refusing to go behind the certificates of the governors, decided it; each contested case by a vote of tight to seven in favor of the republican electors, beginning with Florida on February 7th, Rutherford B. Haves was, ab last, on March 2d, *iee ared duly elected presi¬ dent of the United States. This ended the long and painful suspense, nnd the decision was generally acquiesced in, snd the popular excrement sunsided quickly. THE INAUGURATION.
