Special Correspondence to Banker], When I last wrote we were in Brns- els, or as the Belgians proudly call it, Little Paris,” and it is really a city be proud of. It is on several hills and has many handsome 'buildings. The Palais de J usticehere is the haud- *?r‘? : e , st . b " ildinK I . have 8e « n in Europe. While if. is not S’* large or expensiTo &b many others, it is by far the most grace ful and pleasing. It combines the Do- 0, Ionic aod Corinthian styles of ar chitecture, with aliitle of the Esvd- tian. * ^ From Brussels we went to Antwerp and then to Holland Holland is a quaint country with large old-fashioned windmills every where. indeed they are a characteris tic feature of a Dutch landscape. The country is perfccrlu flat and only a few feet above the water. It is below some of the canals. There are no f< nces, but iust-ad, there are ditches full of water The principal occupation ia dairying, and there are cows everywhere, and you get the most delicious cheese and but- r. Rotterdam is a quaint old-time city, with more canals than streets and more children in wooden Sabots than either. Tbe Hague is a pretty place aud very pleasant. While at the Hague we went by team down to Schivengen, the aris tocratic seaside resort of Holland, much frequented by the nobility. I fear tbe bathing costumes would shoes Ameri- an ideas The Dutch girls are very pretty, and the women are decidedly the handsomest and best dressed we have seen. They look very much like Americans in deed, sometimes until they speak, it is difficult to tell the higher class of Dutch from Americsup. • Amsterdam is the place of Holland It is & curious city. No matter what part of it yon wish to go, you must first to the Dan and take a streetcar from there. It is the cleanest city in Europe and tbe people are always wash ’ )g the fronts of their houses, and even dewalks and-streets as well as the in- i()e of their homes. It is dangerous <o alk on theirpaveinents,there is so much touring you don’t know when a bucket water may descend on your head. While here he went to the diamond works where they cut and polish dia monds. The work is done almost en tirely by Jews, and tbe cutting and polishing is wonderful We also viaiired tbe village of Brock near Amsterdam. It is most marve lously clear, and nothing I ever heard f can compare to it. No bouses, cows, etc. are allowed to come inside the town, and you must change your shoes •>eforeyou ent'-r. You can not find a peck of dust with a microscope. The i.rincipal business of the peoples’ lives is to scour the streets and houses. I ball always like the Dutch cheese af ter this. From Amsterdam we went to Berlin which is a very handsome qpod- ern city. As we do not speak German we thought we might fare something like a man in Paris who did not speak French, and went to a swell hotel for dinner. He pointed to tbe first thing on tbe me. u, and they brought him soup which he liked very well, so be pointed farther down, and they brought him another kind of soup. He did not want any more soup but he bought he would eat it, then he pointed half way down the card, and they brought him fish soup, and tbe peop.e began to laugh. He was getting desperate now and pointed to the las' thing on the card, and they brought him some toothpicks Luckily for us liowever we s'opped at a hotel where they spoke English, The real swell German hotels are queer, they have one arge room where they sit and talk and play cards, eat and drink, play billiards and smoke all in this same room. I have been trying to decide ever since I have been here what they smoke, whether it is willow bark, or cabbage leaves, it is certainly guiltless of tobacco. At Berlin we have seen some very fine palaces, and magnificent galleries of modern pictures, which aie superior to the duals of “old master” which were utterly deficient in drawing and per spective, and to which in comparison of colors a rainbow is nothing. Germany is the land for soldiers, the Emperor is now reviewing seventy-five thousand men in Bavaria, and there is a good deal of talk of war with Russia. The Czar, too is now reviewing five hundred thousand men at Moscow. We were lucky in seeing the Empress of Germany on her way to Join the Em peror at the Bavarian review, she is rather pretty and very popular. From here we go to Dresden, and to Prague and through' Saxon Switzer land, and then to Bremen where I sail forAmericaby the North German Lloyd line. w _ _ J. W. Oamax tssaam British B^rar"— Greatl Anxiety. la Said to Prevail * Ther». Calcutta, Sent, 28.—Dispatches from Rangpun, the capital of British Bnr- mah, announces that a feeling of great anxiety prevails there. The natives who have thrived there report that a gathering of decoits is taking place about Wuntho, under the leadership of the refugee T. Sawna, that every preparation is being made to repel the anticipated attack upon the garrison at Wuntho. Several minor conflicts have already occurred, and news of more serious fighting is momentarily expected. Mad *r ork «T Cotton Picker*. Maiuanna, Ark., Sept 281—Forty armed colored men have appeared in 8t. Francis township, and have driven all the cotton pickers from one field and bnraed Mr. Bond’s gin house. They threaten to drive all pickers out and b ?"L a11 kpns.t The sheriff is on the ground with v*ue for the leaders. Another posse has left Marianna by his orders. Mach excitement prevails, as a majority of the marauding band is com posed of non-residents, and the authori ties anticipate serious trouble. Hunseu on n Cruise. Victoria, B, G, Sept. 28.—Captain Hansen, the famous Yokoboma “pi rate,” and hard character generally, left on the steamer Boreales ostensibly on a cruise after black bass. It is said, how ever, that it is his intention to make at once for Behring sea and report hie *cts of former years. He will make a deliberate raid on the islands of St. Paul and St. George, and is taking eight boats more than the schooner generally carries, as well as an extra lot Of men. Gorman In the Race.

Robinson, an infinen- tial politician of this state and an inti mate friend of Senator Gorman, says Gorman will lie in the race for the dem ocratic nomination fer president, and that the West Virginia delegation wUl be-solid for hia), _ DEATHBED CONFESSION. A Man Dyinir of Favor Tells of Bis Many Moody Murders. Shamokix, Pa., Sept. 30.—John Gi- rock was stricken with typhoi^ fever a month ago and has just died, \jnst be fore his death he made a confession that seven years ago, while working at San- bnry he and a man named Charles Wurd murdered Oscar Olack, who worked nt the railroad with them, and robbed him of his savings. His body was buried under an old tool house. When asked the next day abont Oscar’s absence, he said he had left for his homo in Poland. Richard, a brother of Oscar, susi>eeting foul play, instituted such a searching investigation that, rearful of being discovered, tne assas sins lured him into the country and killed him. The body was bnned in the swamp, and the murderers reported the neck day that Richard had gone to join his brother-in-law in Poland. Soon afterwards this pair came to Shamokin and worked in tbe mines. A peddler stopped at their home one night for shelter, aud in an nnguarded moment mentioned that $150. He was shot dead and robbed and his body thrown down an air-hole. ISM Have Mo»«-y to Meet tlie Interest* New York, Sept. 80.—John H. In- mah has returned from a visit to Stock- bridge, Mass.

He Celebrates Low Mass at St. Pe ter’s Church. Rohe, Sept. 29.—A grand and impos ing religious ceremony has taken place iu St. Peter’s church. For some days past his holiness, the pope, has been re ceiving bodies of religions pilgrims from varions countries, and the city is tilled with the devout, many of whom huve traveled a long distance to pay houor to the earthly head of the Cath- lic church. When it was announced that the pope in person would celebrate low mas* great eagerness was manifest ed by the throngs of pilgrims to attend the services. Sixty thousand persons assembled at the church, and the congregation filled the largest cathedral "in the world. At 8:30 o'clock, amid the hushed silence of the multitude and reverent bending of knees, the pope seated upon the sedia gestatoria and borne upon the shoulders of members of the papal guard, enters the church, and was carried to his throne at tlje poutifleial altar. His holiness was attired in pure white vestments, and wore upon his head the papal tira. He carried in either hand fans which resembled beautiful palm leaves. At the head of the procession entered the church the trumpeters of the Swiss guard, who played their silver instru ment to tips, and peals of martial music heralded the approach of tbe pope. As the pope was born along above the heads of the assembled thousands he raised his hands and bestowed his benedictions right and left until he reached the altar. The progress of the procession was attended with rapturous proclaimings. The greatest enthusiasm ; prevailed, men w.»vi»ig their hats and l women their handkerchiefs. EVENTIDE.

Toni had said, when Ht breakfast M*» Johnnie declared h«T intention o! running up to town ’It’s slow and awfully dusty aud there’s generally a rowdy crowd aboard. Wait for the 2:05 express." But no sooner had Tom taken his de parture than Mrs. Johnnie decided to do nothiug of the sort She was a bustling little body forever on the go. and when once an idea crept into that clever little head of hers, she was inclined to carry it through to a finish in ber own particn far way Conseqnently. Mrs. Johnnie did take the 12:10 local, aud within five minntes time she was wishing devoutly that she had followed Tom's advice, for it was hot and it was dnsty. and they were crawling along at a snail’s pace, and there were some rough looking custom ers on board, and — well, oh dear After all. Tom did know what he was talking abont occasionally At ti»e far end of the car a yonng woman was sitting She looked so yonng that one might almost have called her a child, in spite ol tbe fact that her pretty brown ban was twisted up on the top of her head in a vaiu imitation of the latest fashion And the (to Mrs Johnnie) most atrocious fact that ber cheeks were covered with rouge. Mrs Johnnie gathered ber belongings together and sot out to take possession of the seat just in front of tbe yonng girl, saying sotto voce to herself mean while. ’It’s really the most ridiculous sight I ever saw The child mnst be crazy If it were only an old woman of my age (Mrs. Johnnie was rather fond of calling herself an old woman, although she only owned to being twenty-eight)—if it were only an old woman of tqy age now, there might be some excuse. But for a child like that, with the complexion of a peach, why—why—it’s perfectly prepos terous!’ Mrs. Johnnie'sett led herself comfort ably in the seat, ami then, half turning she scrutinized the young girl at ner leisure She could do so without rude ness, for the girl was gazing out of the window, aud her thoughts seemed to be far away *It’s a sweet little face," thought Mrs. Johnnie, 'and i don’t care if it is painted; it’s innocent and trust ful Her dress fits her abominably but she has a glorious pair of eyes She’s a positive anomaly I’m going to intro duce myself." The girl turned her head Just at that moment, and as their eyes met both of them smiled, and each perceived for the first time that the other wore the little silver Maltese cross of the King’s Daugh ters. They needed no introduction after that Mrs Johnnie moved into the seat with her. and they were soon tbe best of frienda It did not take Mrs. Johnnie very long to gain the particulars ot her story She had never tieen to the city before, she said, indeed, except for some little excursion now and then she bad never left her homo, which wax in a lit tie village on the coast ot Lx>ng Island She was so glad to have some one to talk to. for of course she was feeling a bit lonely Then sbe told Mrs. Johnnie that her name was Daisy—Daisy Hope— and that she was an orphan with jnst one sister. Her nnnie r wax Sophie, and she was married now They bad always been the very best of friends—she and Sophie—until Dan Hackett came along. Nowadays, she added with a sigh. Sophie had eyes for no one bnt Dan. “But 1 shan't mind it so mnch now, ■he added, suddenly brightening np again, “now that I'm going to be mar ried too." “ Married I" exclaimed Mrs. Johnnie in astonishment. ’Yon don't mean to tell me so! When is it coming off. and what’s his name? 1 ’Yes. we're going to be married right away—Jack and tne. This isn’t very much of a trousseau, is it?" she added, with an expressive gesture toward her old fashioned carpetbag and two papeT parcels. “Bat Jack said that wouldn’t matter. He coaid fix ms ap when I came to town. He tohl me in his letter not to bring auythiug along: my coun try dresses would uever do for New York, he said Bo I’ve left them all at home there, hanging np in my closet- all except my new .pink on* I got at Easter. It’p so pretty I couldn't bear to leave that behind. 1 guess it will do for the mornings, now and then. “Bat wasn’t it awfully good of Jack, though? He sent me this dress to wear on the way np, and this diamond, pointing to a huge brooch that sparkled at her throat, bat which Mm. Johnnie’s eyes pronounced to be very bad paste. “And there was a box of complexion salve he sent me too. I’ve pat some of it on jast to please him. bat I can’t say that 1 like it very much. It itches so and feels horrid. Do all ladies paint in New York?" At another timi Mrs. Johnnie would have band ont laughing, bnt jnst at present matters were taking too serious a tarn. Mrs. Johnnie was beginning to wonder very much. “But when are yon to be married, my dear?" she asked hastily “Yon haven’t answered my question yet And what does Sophie say? For. of course, you’ve told her all abont it" The girl hnng her head, and Mrs. Johnnie could see ber blushes even in spite of the rogua - “Yon see. it’s this way. Jack hates a fuss and ail that He said for os to get married first and then let Sophie kiio'w. That was the hardest thing' 1 had to do —leaving her withont a word of goodby. Bnt Jack knows best. 1 suppose Only 1 wish"— * “Excase me. Daisy, yon mnsn’t think foe impertinent lor asking; all these questions my dear. Is Jack going to meet yon at the station!" “Well, no— uot exactly He's so busy at this time of day. you know. That’s one reason why he sent the dress anil things He said in his tetter that be had shown them to a lady friend of hia She’s to meet me at the ferry and take charge of me till he cornea." ' “Obi And how long did yoa say yon have known a—a—Jack?" The girl bang her head again. “I saw him first abont six weeks ago. He came down on one of the yachts. He came down twice on Sunday after that, and he's written ever so often." Mrs. Johnnie laid her hand tenderly upon the yonng girl’s arm “And do yon really think, my dear Daisy, that yon know him well enough to marry him? Wouldn't it be wiser to wait a bit and take your sister into year confi donee? Why not ask Jack to wait a year for yon and then see how matters stand? He'll wait for yon gladly enough if he's really in earnest. ’’ “Why should 1 keep him waiting? - she answered. ’He-loves ma Isn’t that enough? 1 love him and trust him entirely, and he does the same by me isn’t that enough?" Mrs Johnnie did not answer for a moment Her lips were pressed tightly together, for to tell' the truth, Mrs Johnnie was making ap her mind tt adopt a desperate measure. This car half full of men. was certainly no place for a scene. And Mrs Johnnie began tc realize that if she proceeded to do hei duty J>y this little girl a scene was bound to come The train was jnst slowing up for a moment at-a little wayside station Well, my dear. I hope sincerely that yon will find it is enough." she said Then, springing np suddenly, she grasped the carpetbag and her own belongings. “Hnrry np, my child 1" she exclaimed, giving the girl a little push. “ Here’s where we change cars, you know. Come along I" “But I thought this train" “Now, my dear, that’s jnst what yon mnstu't do. Don’t think, bat follow my instructions." Before the girl had realized what she was doing Mrs Johnnie had bundled her out on to the statiou platform. The train moved slowly out Mrs. Johnnie watched it disappear with a sigh of re lief. and then she turned to the bewil dered girl and spoke to her very gently “Let ns walk over to the little hotel Daisy We shall have to wait .there ball an hour Perhaps we can secure a room there, for 1 want to have a little talk with yon." In speaking of it afterward Mrs. John nie always declared that to her the walk from the station to the hotel was by fai the Baddest part of all that day’s ordeal. It was then that the' magnitude of the work she bad to do dawned upon her for the first time. Before they two should be standing on that platform again. Jack, the yonng girl's idol, must be shat tered and thrown from its pedestal. To Mrs. Johnnie fell the task of displaying him in his true colors, and thongh it was a task which she shrank instinctively from in perspective, when the time came Mrs Johnnie was not fonnd wanting She never told any oue—not even Tom- the particulars of what occurred in that little room, bnt when the train from New York came rnxhing along half an honr later the semaphore was hoisted as a signal to stop, and the two women stepped silently oh board. Both ol them had tear stained faces ont there was no rouge on the yonng girl s face now her hair hnng simply down her back, and she wore her pretty pink dress. That night, when Mrs Johnnie reached her own home, aftei quite a long combat with sister Sophie Tom wax told jnst ax many of the par ticnlars as Mm Johnnie thonght fit. When she had finished he was silent Tor a moment or two. while he exhanst ed his stock of anathemas upon Jack Then, turning his attention to the wom an in the case, he exclaimed. “Well, of all the little fools” Bnt Mrs. Johnnie interrupted him sud denly. “Don’t call her that, dear," Bhe added, as she kissed him “Just thank God that 1 took tbe 12:10."—Acton Davies in New York Evening Ban.

James Stephens, the former leader of the Fenians, has arrived in Dublin. It is reported that the government has given him a permit to remain during the rest of his life in Ireland or any other portion of the empire he chooses. In an interview he said that he was a supporter of Parnell. He had not changed his mind as to the right of Ire land to be an independent nation, or the way in which that right should be en forced, bnt a majority of tlie Irish peo ple having i-hoeen to try comstitutioii .1 agitation he acquiesced in their judg ment. A Jackson. Miss., special says that the statne of Jefferson Davis, which was to have been placed iu the base of the Confederate monument unveiled here on Juno 8 lust, was unpacked and in spected. The committee of authority in the case vote not to receive it, not re garding it as a true representation of Mr. Duvis, bnt agreed to appoint a committee of twenty-five citizens to de cide what shonUl be done with it. The statue was made in Italy after a bust made in Loiulou in 1866. It is slightly above life-size, and some think fairly represents Mr. D.ivis as he appeared at that date. A Little' Rock, Ark., special says: Andrew Gage, clerk of Madison county, was assassinated at h& home in toe suburbs of Huntsville. Gage was standing on his back porch when the assassin fired from the shadow of an outhonseu Eighteen buckshot entered Gage's body, tearing a hole as -large as a man’s band. He died instantly.
