AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.
A Curious Legend-Relics of the Emperor
MaiimUian.
Qneretaro was u town before the
Spanish oouquuRt, and was made a
city in 1655. A legend of Qneretaro
is that an Otomite chief, Fernando
do Tapia by name, undertook to con¬
vert the city to Christianity in « way
that seems novel to us, but w as corn-
mon enough to his day. Jlo came
from Tula with a challenge to the peo¬
ple of Qneretaro to a fair stand up
tight. If ho won the people surviving
were to he baptized. The challenge
was accepted, but, while the fight was
in progress, a dark cloud camo up,
atul the Blessed Santiago was seen in
the heavens with a fiory cross, where¬
upon the people of Queretaro gave up
and were baptized. They set up 11
stone cross to commemorate the event
on the site of the present Church of
Santa Cruz. There is scarcely a
church in Mexico which has not a
legend of this kind attached to it.
The town is identified with the history
of Mexieo.
Here the treaty of peaco between
the ('tilted Htule* and Mexico was rati¬
fied in lhtH, and here Maximilian made
hi* last stand in 1K67, «m obliged to
surrender and was shot, Everybody
is interested in Maximilian mainly on
aeeonnt of poor Cnrlotta, wholly the
way, lias just obtained permission to
revisit Mexico. Maximilian was exe-
euted on the (%-rro do la* Cauipana*,
and with him General* Miramin and
Media. The place is marked by three
little crosses of stone. Tire two gen¬
erals were killed at the first volley,
but Maximilian, who had requested
that lie be shut through the body that
his mother might look upon his face,
was only wounded, and a second fir¬
ing was required to kill him, The
emperor had been led to believe that
Cnrlotta w as dead. She became insane
from grief nnd was kept in an asylum
for many years, but she still lives, and
atill mourns for her dead husband and
the loss of her throne. The United
Stains government protested against
the execution of Maximilian, but in
vain, , J iimi r/. refusing to spare him.
There are all hinds of relies of Maxi¬
milian in Mexico. The Yturbicle thea¬
ter, where he was tried and condemn¬
ed, tbo table on which tbe death war
rant was signed, the wooden stools on
which the prisoners sat during the
trial and the codin of Maximilian,
whose remains were subsequently
sent to Austria am] buried at Miramar.
I confess 1 do not share in any •enti-
ment of pity for Maximilian, who was
an adventurer without a shadow of
rigid in Mexico and took the chances
of war. Ho was, ii is into, a victim
of Napoleon and of his own ambition
and whs very scurvily treated by those
who had induced him to set up his
throne; but to have released him
would have been to establish a claim¬
ant for tlio Mexican throne, 11 W an
better that this man should die than
that thousands should be sacrificed in
the wars he would surely have
fomented if he had been allowed to
live. Philadelphia Dodger.

It Is as easy for sumo look people to look to

Mild, gentle, tractable, loving, you expect

Will admit that it Is more difficult for some

do not expect to waste this hour, I have
seen boats go off from Cape May or Long

good day, or they hud not the right kind of

strong. O thou who didst help Simon and
Andrew to flsh, show us hoiv to east the net

Some of you incoming to God will have
to run against skeptical notions. It is use¬
less for people to say sharp and cutting
things to those who reject the Christian re¬
ligion. 1 cannot say sueli things, lly what
process of temptation or trial or betrayal
you have eometo your present state l know
not. There are two gates to your nature—
the gate of tlio head and tho gate of the.
heart. The gate of your head is locked
with bolts and bars that an archangel
could not break, but the gate of I your heart
swings easily on Its hinges. If assaulted

should come ttt you now with an argument,
if you would answer me with an argument;
with sarcasm, you would answer me with
sarcasm blow for blow, stroke for stroke
—but when I come ami knock at the door
of your heart you open It ami say, “Come
in. my brother, and tell me all you know
about Christ and heaven."
Listcu to two or three questions. Are

kindred, descend to hell, covered witli the

who have expected the plaudits of tlio worid
have died under its anathema maranatha.
Oh, And your peace in Tod! Make one
strong pull for heaven. Xo half-way work
will do it. There sometimes comes a time
on shipboard when everything must bo
sacrificed to save the passenger*, Tho
cargo Is nothing, the rigging nothing. The
captain puts the trumpet to his lips and
shouts, “Cut away the. mast!” Home of have, you
have been tossed and driven, and von
in your effort to keep the world, well nigh
lost your soul. Until you have decided
this matter let everything else go. Over¬
board with all those other anxieties and
burdens. You will have to drop the sails
of your pride and cut away the mast. With
One earnest cry for help put your cause into

the breakers of Melita, and who, above the
shrill 1>1 ast of the wrathiest tempest that
ever blackened the sky imploration or shook the ooean,
can hear the faintest for mercy.
I shall close this sermon feeling that
some of you who have considered your
case that as hopeless will red take heart again, and
with a blood earnestness, sueli as
you have never experienced beforq, you

at last to look back, saying: “What a
great risk I ran! Almost lost, but saved!
Just got through, and no more! Escaped

ICE CAVES IN COLORADO.
Masses of Ice Wonderfully Adorn the New
Discoveries.
Further discoveries have been made o!
the wonderful ice caverns opened up at the
foot of Cow Mountain, about two miles
from Giilett. Col. Three remarkable cham¬
bers have been opened. The first is about
fourteen by sixteen feet, heavily hung with
icicles in every conceivable form, resemb¬
ling stalactites. From the first chamber a
small passage leads to still another more
wonderful and beautiful in which the ice
blends in varied colors, under the light of
n candle, reflecting the rays as from the
face of a thousand mirrors.
From this cave a passage scarcely largo
enough to admit the down* body of a man was
discovered leading at au angle of
about forty degrees to a large cavern per¬
haps 200 by 000 feet. Clinging to the ceil¬
ing are great masses of Ice like billows,and
banked along tho sides of the walls many
feet in thickness are tons of ice taking oil
the most grotesque forms imaginable and
casting awesome shadows.
In the center of the room there is a lake
about forty by sixty-five feet, clear as cry¬
stal and quite deep. There must be some
outlet, for water drips constantly from tlie
ceiiiug, yet the level of the body is' never rises
nor overflows. The water sweet and
pure, and as cold as the ice-coated walls of
the room in which It is situated, 200 feet
underneath the surface of the ground.
There are undoubtedly other caves which
have not yet been opened.
1200 CHEROKEES TO MARCH.
They WiU Invade Kentucky to Do Honor
to One of Their Ancient Chiefs.
F.arly iu September 1200 Cherokee braves
will take the road in the Indian Territory,
and will march into Kentucky, accompanied

Army.
A strong and muscular mau, with high
cheek bones and copper countenance, was

Indian, cently, But few realized that he was an
though he was the full-blooded
Cherokee, Charley Parker, a nephew of the
celebrated chief Quannah Parker. He was
mounted on a beautiful bay thoroughbred.
He was the forerunner of the iuvasieu of
the 120.) Cherokee warriors, and was here
to see tlie Governor. They will enter Ken¬
tucky at Sbawneetown and march SO ft
place about three miles from Russellville,
where they will find the grave of a great
chief of t tie Cherokee* who was killed in
battle with the Shawnees i* 171!'. There
they will do liis memory honor. This bat¬
tle took place on a prairie near Fond River,
and the old chief was wounded nnd carried
back into what is now Logan Countv.
where he died and was buried.

Pistols and Pestles.
The duelling pistol now occupies its proper
place, in the museum of the collector of relics
of barbarism. The pistol ought to have beside
it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets,
to be shot like bullets at the target of the
liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and
will be, probably, until everybody has tested
the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They
treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy.
Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are
compounded on the theory that the liver does
its work thoroughly and faithfully under
obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions
are removed, the liver will do its daily duty.
When your liver wants help, get "the pill
that will,"

hours being carted from place topla.
other gases are similarly stored unc
pressure in “tubes,” as, for instan,
oxygen, hydrogen and nitrous oxit
all of which might expose the pub
to danger. Solid bricks of metal
sodium (kept under naphtha,
course) are every day carried frt
port to port as a part of a ship’s car
and dangerous accidents have oci
stonally occurred from the mixture
