-A0CUBED OF WITCHCRAFT."
BX MARGARET B. BAKGSTUL
Old and wan was Goodman David, racked wltti
pain in every limb;
Yonuit and fair was maiden Nelly, sunshine of
the world to him.
In the woodman's little cottage, on tho edge of
Salem town,
Often were both song and laughter, seldom
was there sigh or frown;
For though pain might cross the threshold and
distill its bitter dew,
{land in hand amagio healer, aye, came saintly
patience, too.
Love was there, and peace and honor, homely
virtue, modest thrift,
And the father’s heart was thankful, owning
daily grace and gift.
Only when the wheel ceased whirring in the
twilight’s holy calm
Dad fair Nelly spaco for resting, time for lifted
prayer ami psalm.
Hers the task to spiu tho linen, finest scon in
Salem town,
Winning her in stately houses golden piccos,
prized renown.
*Neath the coif her hair was flaxen, and her
wide and fearless ryes
Held amid their depths tho color of the
purest morning skies.
If a tpico of mischiof twinkled in her dimples’
merry dauc.s
There was never hint of malico in tho swiftest
fleeting glance.
Btill her tongue in nimblest tripping kept its
innoconco of gnile,
And tho sweetness of bor singing matched the
gladness of her smilo.
Llko a distant lxxltng inurmnr, to tho good-
man whero ho sat,
Talcs had oomo of croaking evil Ho had
listeued, stroked tho cat.
Furring like a sago familiar In tho lioarth-
flamoV rosy glow;
Told, in pause of Nolly’s spinning, logends of
the bug ago,
Whon some said that dreary phantom* st&lkod
tho midnight hills abroad.
For tho goodinau, ho was placid, trusting in
his father’s (lo<L
Nolly, gay, light-hearted, Nelly, hearing of tho
muttered spoils,
Tocsed her head in scorn, her laughter like a
shime of silver bells.
Nay, poor maid, that laugh was folly; speeding
with ita fatal shaft
To a orono who gibe 1 at beauty, thought its
bloom Hatanio craft.
Haggard sho, and weird an t hideous, shadowed
by the enl-eyo.
Whose but Nolly's, sweet maid Nelly’s, with her
sinful skipping by ?
Ob, to tamo tbosa mocking spirits, baro thoso
shoulders to tho switch I
Iirooding thus, the path grew easy : she might
call tho chikl a witch.
Booo she hissed it forth lu meeting; spat it
out in Salem street.
Up and d »wn tho slander traveled; envy
winged it* flying feet;
Tfil tho grim-facod parson heard it, shivorlng
In a lurid a wo;
Bought the magistrate in horror to tnVoko an
outraged law;
And, as from tho sky of summer swoop* tho
hawk upon his prey,
Swooped the su Men doom on Nolly on that
dveadful wintry day.
Flead in vain, poor Goodman David; they who
list arc hard a* Mono.
Cling iu vain, sweet ditughtei Nolly; valuly
weep ami shriek and moan.
Waits tin Jailer with hi* fottors; yawns for
tlu'.o a prison coll,
Barred and looked and double-bolted} yoa, tho
law shall guard ihoo well.
Let the home blaze die to ashes; let tho old
man plno away;
In God’s naiuo this deed of darkness shall bo
done with might this day.
In God’s name ! Ah ! hoar it, Heaven 1 Art
too far to break tho ban
Spoken with a hellish daring by tho Impious
Ups of man ?
In tho little peaceful cottngo on the odgo of
Haiein towu
Joy and order reigned at morning. Whon tho
gloomy night cauio down,
Hushed tho gro.it wheel's oh eery whirring;—
uoed, fflus 1 no ninro of that;—
Only iu tho corner purring sat that household
sphinx, tho cut. —llarjntr'a Umar.
BARBARA.
“Now you miiHt do tome oredit to my
unraiiig, aud not strong and well nguiu,”
Ah Fannie Pleasanton spoko, sho pul
beside the bed over wliioli sho was lean
ing, a great bunch ot fragrant. violets,
moist and beautiful, broalliiug tholr
sweet stories of shady ucolts in deep
woods.
A liltlo, pale face, that had boon lying
listlessly on the pillow, was lifted eagerly,
"Oh, how good yon aro I Oh, they
are like home, my own dear homo I"
Great tears rolled down tho pale fooo,
“Toll mo about your borne. How came
. m to leavo it for this oity ?’’ said Fan
nie.
“My father died, and the farm was
sold to pay a mortgage. I lmd a little
money, aud I thought I conld find work
in the city. Besides ”
But hero Barbara Golding stopped,
aud n faint, crimson blush rose upon
her pale ohoeks.
"H'm 1“ thought Fannie, wiso iu
twenty-two years ot city life and edu
cation; "a love story,”
She asked no questions, but pretty
soon Barbara said :
“You have been so kind, I will tell
yon. Perhaps you can toll mo what to
do.”
“I will help you in way that I oau.”
“Two years ago, tho summor that I
was seventeen, father took a boarder.
He was n lawyer, aud his health bad
failed from studying too hard. I think
ho was about twenty-six or twenty-eight,
not handsome, bnt bo gentle and goed
that wo ali likod him from the first.
And he would oome into tho garden with
me, and help mo with vegetables and
fruit, becanso father loft that to me; and
would carry the milk up to the dairy-
room for mo, aud tnlk about books nud
tho city, and—oh, Miss Pleasonton,
don’t you know?”
“He made love to you?”
"Yes,” iu a faint whisper.
"And you loved him ?"
“Yes,” again; “I could not help it ?
When ho went nwav, he promised to
come tho next summer, and he told me
when he made his fortnno, ho would
oomo to ask me to share it.”
“Did he come?”
“Father died the next spring, and I
came here. I thought I should find him,
bnt I did not seo him for n long time,
and when I did I had become so poor,
so very poor, X would not force myeeif
upon him. I worked as well os I could,
but this summer I became sick, and bnt
for you I should have starved.”
“Do you think your lover is still true
to you ?"
“I cauaot tell I I would not trouble
. him. Sometimes, after I found out
where his cilice was, I would pass by
After dark and peep in. It was beauti
fully furnished ; so I hope he is making
his forlnne; but I only whispered,'
‘God Ideas him,’ and came homo,"
“Will you tell me his name?”
“Lennox—Cyrus B. Lennox!”
Fannie Pleasanton turned her faoe ab
ruptly from tho little seamstress, who
bad been tho object of her oharity for
the last six weeks, and walked to the
window. Lifting the soft, white our-
tuins she had placed there, sho looked
into tho street, while ringing in her ears
was tho namo Barbara Golding had just
spoken.
“Cyrus B. Lennox !”
She was very pale when she came
again to tho bedside, but her voice was
steady and sweet as ever as she said.-
“I mnst leavo yon now, Barbara, bnt
/ will come in again this afternoon. If
you want anything, Mrs. Harper wil'
answer the boll.”
"Yes, she is very kind. But—you
will come again ?’’
"This afternoon I Try !o ont a few of
fho strawberries I have brought you 1”
Slio went away then, stopping as usual
to loll tho janitross of tho poor tenement-
house to care for tho sick girl until her
return.
But instend of driving to tho stores
a liere sho lmd intended to mnko final
purchases for n uenrlv completed wed
ding outfit, sho fold the oonohmnn to
drivo homo. Onoe there, unheeding tho
anxious inquiries of her mint, astonished
at her early return and pale face, sho
went to hor own room, bolting the door,
before she sank down in • chair, woaried
wiili the oflort to maintain her com
posure.
Cyrus B. Lennox, the girl said. Fan-
mo Pleosautou, looting around her lux
urious room, saw a pleasant confusion of
dress, new garments loading tnblos and
warurobo, drawers overflowing with
dainty finery, oiieu truuks wailing to be
packed. Aud tho preparations woro all
for n wedding in one short week, and tho
bridegroom elect was Cyrus B. Lonnox,
What was this story tho little seams'
Iress sho fonnd starving in tho attio had
told her ? The janitross of tho teno-
ms it-honso had been a servant in tho
Pleasanton family, and eame to Fannie,
who was ricli and genorous, whenever
n iy distress came to her notice. And
Fannio lmd gouo at her last call, to Hud
Barbara Golding tossiug in delirious
fever, evidently overworked, poorly fed,
and silting in tlie little nttio chamber,
Hlio lind paid for a bolter room on a
lower floor, bail sent a doctor, had sup
plied medicines, food and care, bad visi
ted her often, till tlie doctor pronounced
ber on tho road to recovery.
And in return sho had heard that Cy-
ms, her own betrothed husband, wai
tho lover of Barbara Ooldiug. “Does
lie love her yet ?" the girl thought, push
ing back the hair from tier pale face,
and looking in tho mirror. “Inmfai
handsomer. Hlio is pretty only, sweet
and fair. T am handsome and accom
plished. She is a pauper, I am wealthy '
Cyrus is not poor now, siuco his aunt
died; but he will riso to cminenco witli
my wealth to aid -him, while sho will lie
lmt a burden up m him. Only n woek.
Long before Barbara can oven sit up,
wo shall bo on our way to Etiroi>o, and
ho will soon forget her. Why did lie
seek mo if lie loved hor ? It was only a
request of his auut's, uot a command,
that ho should marry mo if I consented.
Cut ho camo to mo, and I lovo him—1
love him 1 Oau Barbara givo him bettci
lovo than mino ? I can givo her money
to return to her old homo, if sho wishes I
But if ho loves her I Oh, Gyrus, do yon
lovo her and not mo ? I eaimot doubt I
I mnst know I”
As if in answer to tho thought, a ser
vant rapped at tho door, and, opening It,
Fannio was haudod Gyrus Lennox’s
onrd.
"I wilf como down at ouoo,” sho said,
taking off her hat and smoothing her
disordered her. Hho was not sorry that
hs had called whilo tho first exoitoment
of her discovery nervod her with a fic
titious strength to enduro any word she
might spunk. Bhe oamo to him quiotly,
dignified ns ever, but very pato, so pale,
bo asked anxiously if sho was woll,
“Well, but tired,” sho answered. “I
havo bccu ont thin morning.”
They talked of indilTerout matters for
a short time; then Fannio ssid, earnestly:
"Cyrus, I have a craving desire to ask
you one true woman's question. Will
you promise mo a sincere answer ?”
He hesitated a moment, then said:
"I will answer truthfully whatove!
you ask.”
“Did you ever love any other woman
before you know mo?”
“Do you uot think it enough to know
I love you now ?” ho said.
“You promised men sincero answer,
and you givo mo an evasion," slio said,
reproachfully.
“B oanso you naked mo to tear open
an old wound your love Is healing,”
“Yet, even if it pains both von and
me, I bog you toll me of your first love.”
Fannio’s lips woro pnrohod and stiff,
but she spoke oalmlv.
".Siuco you insist, 1 ’ Cyrus said gravely,
“I wiil tell you. Two years ago, iu a
fnrm-lioiiHO where I was boarding I met
a woman, or rntlier a girl, a swoot, fair
maiden, whom 1 loved, I wns n poor
man, then, Fannio, and she had n happy,
pleasant homo. Bo I hade hor farewell,
hoping to return tliouoxtyoar and bring
her homo to tho oity. Whon I did ro-
turu the farm was sold, and Barbara hud
gone away. Nono of tho neighbors
could toll mo anything of her.”
"It was yonr place to seek hor I”
“I did, faithfully. But I could find
no traoo of hor whereabouts. In tho
autumn my aunt died. Bhe lmd loved
yon for years, aud hor last wish was the
trope tlurt you wonid one day be my
wife. It waa a sweet solace to mo oven
in my sorrow for ber loss, and pain at
Barbara's disappearance, to have your
sympathy, aud I soon found there was
vet room in my liourt for a trno, fonder
love. Ion cannot believe 1 would have
asked you to bo my wife bad I not loved
you?”
“But if, ovon now, you fonnd Bar
bara ?”
“I havo long ngo ooaBod to seek her I”
“Yet, if she oamo to you ?"
“You are my betrothed wife?”
"Yet if Barlmru oamo to yon, poor,
friendless and siok ; if she told yon she
iind oomo to the city seeking work,
hoping to find you, and bad sunk undor
her burden of loneliness and toil; if sho
told you, that ragged, footsore and
weary, she had looked in at you in your
cosy oflioo, nud turned away unwilliug to
throw tho burden of hor poverty npoD
you; if nho had struggled till sho had
faiuted nud fell sick, and was gaining
health slowly, hopelessly, with no future
before btr but a future of poverty and
toil; if Barbara oamo so to you, Cyrus,
whnt would you say ?”
Bnt only a pallid face, with great
oends of perspiration upon the broad
brow, was lifted in spoeohlesB agony to
moot her eyes. Only largo brown eyos,
wistful and suffering, appealed to hor
womanly heart.
There was a deep t^Ienoo in tho room
for n long time. Thun a hoarse voice
said :
“You havo soon Barbara?”
"Yes, I have aeon hor.”
"As you describe ?”
“yes I”
“And you despise mo as faithloss to
her and to sou ?”
“No. I do not despise you 1 I am
lorry that you did not know your own
heart bettor, when you oamo to ask me
to bo your wife,”
All her pain aud lovo was well hidden
in the cold, proud vole.o which Fannie
Pleasanton assumed, to cover her break
ing hoart. But nfter a moment, sho said,
more gently:
“Barbara has been very ill, and is
still too weak to bear any great agitation.
You must be patient and leave hor to me.
When sho is woll enough, yon shall see
her.”
“Fannie, yon will break our engage
ment ? You will dure tho gossip that
will be tlie result ol any change now ?
You will not trust mo totoar out this old
love aud lie ever true and faithful to
you? I am not so weak but I cau do bo
if you will trust me."
“But I will uot!” waa the quiot reply;
‘I will marry no man whose hoart is
not all mine. I will havo no memory of
another lovo for my constant rival. We
can still bo friends, Cyrus, but never
again lovers.
He had no words to meet the steady
resolution of her voice, but yet ho took
no ooward’s plea for shelter. lie would
not say, even to his own heart, “She
never loved mo; she Is glad to throw me
off,” He knew she had loved him, be
ing too purely womanly to give her band
whero she had uot alrondv given her
heart, no knew the sacrifice sho was
making, ne took both her little cold
(lands in his, lifted them reverently to
liis lips, sayiug :
“May God bless yon for your good
ness to hor. I will oomo again when
you send for me.”
Bo lie left, tier, carrying tho dream of
future happiness slio lmd carried six
months next hor heart with him.
Hho would not trust horself to think.
Obtaining tho dootor's permission, she
brought Bartmrn so her own stately
homo and nursed her back to health,
restoring her to her lovor, bnt telling
hor notliiug of her own sacrifice.
Before the winter snows oamo there
was a quiet wedding, for tho doctor hod
strongly urgod a warmer olim&te for tho
invalid.
She wns very happy, this pale, little
Bnrlmrn, when sheltered by her hus
band’s love, she took leavo of her kind
friend, and went nway to seek tho soft
air of Florida, to court koalth in bslmly
southern breezes. Hlio was very trappy
in ber hnsbnnd's tender oare, his onross-
ing affection in tho winter months when
even the warmth and frngranco of
Florida air would not bring liaok the
lost strength. Little by little she faded
nway, nlwnys gentlo and loving, always
lrapp.V, ovon when slio lay dying, in
her husband's loving nrms ; nover guess
ing nny divided love or duty had ovoi
threatened to separnto them. Gently
and painlessly, ns a Imho sinks to slum
ber, little Barbara snnk into tho lost
onrthly sleep, her head'upon her hus
band’s breast, his tender words soothing
her, his loving touch oarossing her.
Softly they laid hor under tho ever
green verdure of tho southern grass,
and Cyrus turned his faoo lromoward,
widowed and sorrowful. ’
Two years Inter Fannio Pleasanton re
turned from her European trip, taken
immediately after Barbara's wedding.
Her old homo wns unchanged, hor nuut
glad to comu back to hor housekeeping
and friends.
A liltlo paler, a little graver, Gyrus
found her wliou lio camo to call,* but
still the gentle, dignified woman ho re-
ujernbe td, tho trno companion his soul
craved,
Never to living onm did ho tell tho so-
orot ho learned m his brief married life, .
tho secret that Barbara, sweot, gentle 1
Barbara, whoso girlish bounty bad won
his love, whose deepest pity had stirred
his deepest pity, was not the soul wifi
ne hoped to find. Gentlo, loving, snf-
ferlug, sho appealed to his protection,
his pity, and ho gave her both iu full
measure.
But ho know, only too soon, that sho
could nevor moot him heart to heart as
Fannio could ; oonld nover bo bis truo
life companion. Ho was loyally true to
her memory, speaking uo word of his
secret disappointment,
But ho sought Fiuinio with a lover's
eagerness, a lifo’H devotion, aud Fannio,
loving him with hor wholo heart, anew
it was no divided homage he offered her,
when, for the second time, ho asked her
to bo his wife.
Hlio lmd mado hor saorifioe, and know
that sho tied soothed Barbara's passage
to the grave, not hastened it. And with
a dear conscience, a deep, abiding lovo,
she one,! more put lior baud into tlmt of
Oyrus L minx mid became Liu faithful,
dearly loved wife.
A COLD IN THE HEAD.
The Family Doctor Trlln tin WIlut ll to, noil
Wlmt to Do lor It*
Tho oommonost typo of cold is that
called “cold in tho head,” to distinguish
it from “cold on the chest." This “cold
in tho head” has certain well-marked
symptoms—n feeling of general iii“/nlse
is experienced, olton acoonipanieilby a
slight fevorish sickness. Then conn s ii
sensation ot fulness in the head, there is
sneezing, profuse llow of tears, uti ir
ritating ulid copious discharge from the
nose, ’this means that tlio mucous
lucuibrnno of tlio noso is inilamed, and
if this spreads down tho back of tlio
throat, tlio sufferer becomes bonne.
Tho Lent wny to trout tliiu troublesome
complaint is to tnko a "hot drink.” An
orungo sliced and put into a largo clip
witli a liltlo sugar sprinkled over it, nnd
boiling water poured upon it, and then
drunk as hot as possible, is both ploasaut
nud benofioial. Tlio feet should bo put
into liot water, with or without a little
mustard. This foot butli should bo
tnkeu at tho hedsido; the patient should
bo well wrapped up, nnd n blanket
placed across his knees should bn drawn
outsido tlio bath, so ns to confine the
stenrn. After keeping tho feet in Iho
water for from five to ten minutes, tho
patient should loso no ttmo in getting
into bed, where ho will probably derive
grent benefit from (lie general feeling of
wai mill, aud from tho llow of perspira
tion which has been induced. If pos
sible, at this stage, the pationt should
remain in bed for two days, with a fire
in his room, which should lie made up
at night, so ns to keep alight till morn
ing. But keeping in bod will do lilllo
good if tho patient persists iu holding
a newspaper or a book to read, for there
by ho ia more dangerously exposed to
cold than if lio were up, dressed and
going about as usual. Tho main point is
to koop thoroughly wrapped up nnd
ooiiBiautly warm. Even an uncomfort
able degree of heal may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphor ohewed nuu
sucked is very good. Bo is tho inhala
tion of sulphurous aoid gus—a remedy
which warn found to be in constant uso
by tho weavers of Kirenlily, who had it
among (ho mntoriuls of their work. Buy
two ounces of sulphurous acid (dilute)
from a chemist, and then take out tho
cork aud inhale—through tho nostrils
only, of course—tho puugont gas which
is givou off. Homo uso Ferrier’s snuff,
anil find benefit therefrom; but it must
bo used cautiously, as it contains a pow
erful drug—to wit, morphia. Ten or
twelve grains of Dover’s powder taken
iu gruel at bodtime is good for an adult,
but should not bo administered to chil
dren, ns it contains opium, which should
never be given to them without a doc
tor’s proscriptiou. To avoid au un-
pleasnut excoriation of tho nose nud
upper lip during the oourso of n cold iu
the head, they should be often washed
thoroughly with Boap and luko warm
water, and n littlo vaseline should beup-
plied. It tho throat feels sore, a elilor-
nto of potash lozenge should lie sucked
occasionally.
Lost Their Trees.
Tho Japanese aro wailing over tho
wholesale destruction of their forests,
The foot is, Japan has becomo far too
civilized, and is suffering from au “over
pressure” of western ideas. The Japan
ese had a keen oyo to business once, but
now tlioy seem to keep that eye closed.
Of course, somo of their ancient pro
tective customs were a littlo childish,
such as their not working mines, as
by so doing they would bo robbing
their successors of the wealth hid in the
earth. In protecting the mulberry-tree
they showed wisdom, for tho silkworms
fed on the mulberry-tree, aud the culti
vation of silk is one of the richest
industries of Japan, The troo from
which tho varnish known ns lacquer
oozes, waa also protected. Civilization,
however, has taught the Japanese that
tho felling of trees means ruouey. The
forests have been hewn down, Mulberry
and lacquer tree3 have gone with the
rest. Tho geose-trees that grew tho
golden eggs havo been killed. This is
the new civilization. The old iguoranco
demanded that when a man uprooted
ono tree he had to plnnt two iu its
stead.

Milk in London.
It is almost incredible that London
consumes nearly $200,000 worth of milk,
butter aud cheese every day iu the year.
There was a terrible outcry when the
prico of milk was raised iu 1784 from
twopence-kalf-peuuy to threepence a
quart, whilo in 1884 it was eagerly
bought at fivepence (ten cents) a quart,
aud about six hundred thousand quarts of
the fluid per day, more thun four million
per week, and about two hundred and
twenty millions per year are nun con
sumed by dwellers “within the bills of
metropolitan mortality. ”
A Clear Voice.
Mr. Charles T. Krebs, 737 Madison

in banking circles, certifies to the excel

sever# lunrsenpss and lore throat? It is
pleasant to take. No one can be poisoned
by ibis remedy, which is free from
opium, morphia and other dangerous
drugs.

Stirring Up iho Dynamite.
TnE OONNEOTIOtrr HOUSE WAXES ELO
QUENT OVKIt SOME RESOLUTIONS.
In the Connecticut Jlonso of Ropro-
sontativos Mr. Collier, of D.irion, intro
duced the following:
“Resolved, Tljat, linving hoard with
abhorrence of the attempts to destroy
tlio Housos of Parliament in Great
Britain, and of tho imperiling thereby
of the lives of innoooiitnnd unsuspecting
persons, the General Assembly hereby
declare its condemnation of such detoat-
ablo crimes ngaiiiRt humanity, law, or
der aud civilizition."
One or two of the members protested
.bat the State of Connecticut bad no
business with snob n resolution. Law
yer Pigott, of New Haven, had tho reso
lution tabled long onougb for him to
prepare tho following as an nmendmeut:
“But, iu tho adoption of this resolu
tion, the General Assembly remember
with equal feeling of horror tho maB-
snero of her sons nt Fort Griswold iu tho
Revolution by British troops, the saok-
iug of our national capital iu the war of
1812 by British troops nnd tho letiing
looso of privateers from English ports to
prey on our commerce in the Into wnr;
and that we do not acknowledge by the
passage of tho above resolution nny
responsibility on the part of any Ameri
can for the outrages complained of,"
This nonplussed the legislators still
more, nud gallons of eloquenoe were di
rected against the amendment. Ono
man thought it idle to fight the Revolu
tion over again. Another that the
dynamiters might operate on tho locnl
capitol, and still another that the Legis
lature wns more likely to be blown np
with wind than with dynamite. Tho
amendment was finally made a humor
ous football, and Editor Troup, tho
senior member from New Hoveu, sar
castically proposed this amendment to
the junior member’s amendment:
"Resolved., That we are likewise op
posed to the persecution of St. Paul,"
This brought the House down in
roars of laughter. Mr. Troup said
Connecticut hnd no diplomatic relations
with Eugland, aud very likely Queen
Victoria would not hear of their action
anyway. Mr. Troup’s amendment wus
withdrawn. Mr. Pigott’s was unani
mously tabled, aud the Collier resolution
was passed.
A New Field.
Fifteen years ago Lendert Da Brazen,
a Hollander, was a poor gardener near
Kalamazoo, Mioh., trying to make a
living off of some marshy land he had
purchased. After other things had
tailed, he experimented with celery and
is now a rioh man. What was a dozen
years ago a swamp is to-day a vast celery
field, beside which a hundred acre lot is
but a garden. The shipping season be
gins iu July, increases until the holidays,
then gradually decreases until the crop
is disposed of iu the spring. Fifty tons
doily are now being sent ont, and tlio
crop of 1884 will reach 5,000 tons.
Twenty thousand stalks are raised upon
un acre of ground, It is said that 2,000
poisons iu that locality are engaged lu
this industry.
Off lor Africa.
A TARTY OF MISSIONARIES AND THEIR
FAMILIES WHO BAILED FOB THAT DARE
CONTINENT,
Two score of men, women and children
in homely garb went down tho long pier
of the Inman lino, surrounded by a hun
dred enthusiastic Methodists from
Brooklyn, They struggled up the gnug
plank of tho Oity of Montreal. Tho
people in homely garb were tho mission
aries who aro going to join Bishop Wil
liam Taylor and pouetrate Ooutral
Africa under tho direotion of the Method
ist Church. Tho 100 Methodists who
camo toleo them off stood around them
on tho nppe deck of the steamship un
til the bitter wind impelled them to go
bolow. There they remained until a
boll jangled nud a stout officer shouted
“All nshore I”
Then men, women, and children em
braced and kissed and cried, and all the
Brooklyn Methodists ran down the gang
plank outo the pier. Tho vcyngors, ex
cept tho children, got upon a small
mountain of baggage, aang “Wo will
meet on that beautiful shore,” nnd waved
their lints and haudkerohiofs. The hun
dred Methodists on shore also sang nnd
waved thoir hands and anything thnt
waa in them.
A tug pulled the big ship ont into the
stream. Tho Methodists immediately
ran to tho end of the pier and stood
there iu the bitter winter broezo until
the voyagers, singing all tho while, woro
uudistinguislinblo.
They expoot to got to the Portngueso
seaport Lonnda, about two hundred
miles south of tlio Congo, in about five
weeks. From Loauda thoy intend to go
by boat 120 miles np tho Ouanza River,
They expect to travel tho rest of tho
1,000 miles in tho heart of Africa on
foot.
Miss Myers, one of tho party, reoeived

Tlio t'rosnrean Operation,
DY ITS AID A M1DGF.T GIVES RIRTH TO A
CHILD OF ORDINARY SIZE.
A dispatch dated Syrnonso, N. Y.,
says: Mrs. Charles G. Roberts, hotter
known as tho "Midget,” was taken ill
on Wednesday, nud ut two o’elook was
delivered of a mnlo child weighing seven
and a half pounds by the Cieinreau
operation, Au examination by thu
physicians showed that tho ohild was ia
a transverse positicn, and iu order to
save tho lifo of tho littlo wouinn this un- |
natural means was resorted to, Tho
child iivod but a few hours. The con
dition of tho patiout is hopeful. Mrs.
Roberts was formerly Miss Frankie
Thompson, nud was born iu Syrnonso.
She is thirty-two years old, tliirty-threo
iuolios tall nnd woighs only about forty
pouuds, Sho was married aliout two
yoars ngo to Mr. Roberts, who is six
feet tall nnd heavily built. They were
married whilo traveling as members of
tho samo oompnny id ‘lie West. Ho
was a musioian. Tlioy havo traveled
together uud exhibited in New York
and Boston. Thoy. lmvo visited every
oity in the United States aud Canada.
Mrs. Roberts' father died in Syracuso
m 1864. Ho was a dwarf only three
feet high. By his first wife he hnd
throe ohild roil, by his second nine aud
by a third eleven. Among the latter
number was Fraukio, She was per
fectly formod at birth, and whon a week
old weighed only three pouuds, clothes
included. When sho was threo yenrs
old Mr. F. T. Baruum offered her father
$8,000 for tho privilege of exhibiting hor
one yenr in New York. Tho offer was
refused. At ono time after her father’s
death Frankie engaged in dressmaking,
standing up to run hor sewing maohiuo.
Fourteen yoars ago sho formod her first
engagement with a Wostorn oompnny
to travel. Her last engagement wus iu
Minneapolis. Tho physicians hope to
save her lifo. If thoy do it will be ono
case in twenty, they soy, after an opera
tion of this kind.
