An Incident of the Reign of the “Czar- Liberator.” An old and long retired Russian gen eral. a man of the "old school.” relat ed the following story in Illustration of the official bribery that prevails in Russia, the incident being one within his own personal knowledge: During tlie reign of Alexander 11., the "czar-liberator,” the widow of a distinguished general endeavored to obtain an appointment in a certain ministry for her only son, a young man of superior education and Intelli gence. The minister promised the widow to reserve the first occurring vacancy in his department. She wait ed in vain for the fulfillment of the promise and twice repeated her appeal by letter. She learned, too, that In the meantime several vacancies had been filled by other candidates. The widow then waited upon the em peror and told tils majesty of the min ister’s broken promises and her own keen disappointment, and after a few moments’ consideration the czar asked her If she had Inclosed a gift of money to the minister with tier written ap plication. “Why, certainly not, your majesty. I should not dare put such an a (Trout upon his excellency.” "Do not trouble yourself about the affront, inadame,” replied the cz-ir. "but renew your proshenie lo the min ister and inclose £1,000 to him." “But I have no such sum of money, your majesty," saiil the widow dole fully. "Oh, as to that, 1 will lord you the money, and ihe minister will no doubt repay me, and you will inform me, please, of the result of your renewed appli.-ntion with the inolosure.” The widow sent her son to the min ister with the £1.000 lent by the ••r.ar inclosed with a pdlilcly written note, the result being that the young man received the desired appointment the same day. About a week later the minister Inrd just concluded Ills customary official report to the czar when bis majesty observed, "By the way. there is a very intelligent and promising young man. the son of the late General — . for whom you can perhaps find a fairly prospective position in your depart ment.” "But, your majesty,” said t!n> min Ister, "that young man ts already in my department, and I should say that he is likely to make a career for him self.” "Tell me. please." quietly asked the czar, "how much did this youth's mother pay you for the appointment’'" The minister was too wily and tact ful outwardly to manifest Ills surprise and chagrin, and he knew. too. that his safety demanded a perfectly can did reply to ills sovereign. “Would your majesty be Interested." he said, "to hear what I myself paid for the influence which procured my portfolio from your gracious hands’' The total sum was £22,500. and. rela tively speaking, I do not think, V"> all humility, that this lady has pa ,t at till dearly for the prospects of her son.” The minister repaid to the czar the £1,0(10 and was not unkindly dismissed from the audience, and he also re tained his portfolio.—Odessa Cor. Lon don Standard. The African Buffalo. A wounded buffalo is vastly more dangerous when lie runs awa.v (ban when lie charges, for in nine cases out of ten after a dash that may lie for a few hundred yards or a mile lie will revengefully circle back to an Inter ception of bis own trail, stand bidden in grass or thicket until bis pursuer comes plodding along the trail and then charge upon him. Despite the fierce temper of a lone bull, his snvnvc cunning and ids great, charging bulk. T believe him much less dangerous than llie lion, for be lias far less speed, lacks the lion’s poisoned claws and is a much bigger target. Tills opinion is substantiated by the indisputable fact that at least ton men are killed or mauled by lion to one killed by buf falo.—Edgar Beecher Bronson hi Cen tury. In Memoriam. Death, with his icy finger, has touched the heart and sinless brow of aonther of our fairest and dearest jew els, and we have been made to know that God’s will must be done. Little Idella Mae Smith, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Smith, was born Nov. 18, 1901, and departed this life Sept. 18, 1909. l.ltle Idella leaves a kind and loving father, a dear, heart broken mother and two little brothers, besides a host of sorrowing friends and relatives. But we weep not ns those who have no hope, for we know that our loss is heaven’s eternal gain. We know she has gone to meet her lit tle sister, Sellnh Louise, who preceded her to the grave only a few weeks. All was done that loving hands could do, but the One who said, "Suffer lit tle children to come unto me and for bid them not, for of such is the king dom of heaven,” had need of our dear little Idella and Louise. Idella hove her sickness patiently, although she suffered greatly from a malignant case of typhoid fever ; but it is a sweet consolation to know that she is now free from suffering. She has gone where suffering is unknown, to bask in the sunlight of God’s love, and is waiting for her loved ones to gather home on« by one. Weep not, fond parents, hut think of your darling as waiting for you on that shining shore, where God wipes all tears away. There is the tree of life, and the dear Lamb, who was slain for our sins, stands ready to gather home His jewels. May Jesus comfort the hearts of the dear ones and help them to say, ‘‘Thy will be done, not mine.” Little Idella was laid to rest in the Moreland cemetery, to await the res urrection morn. "Thou art prone, our precious durlinir, Novoi’ will thy memory fade; Sweet eat I hong’llta will ever linger ’Round the prrave where thou art laid.” S. L. N. Grantville, Ga., Sept. 21, 1909. Obituary. On the morning of June 29. 1909, the soul of our sister, Zephia Barrett Gor don, winged its flight, heavenward, while all earth was awakening to life, and springtime was in its glory but she answered the summons bravely, for she had made her peace with the Lord. She was horn July 13, 1889, was married to W. G. Gordon May 5, 1907, and died June 29, 1909 aged 20 years. She united with Prospect church, Heard county, in early life, whore her parents belong. It was not the privi lege of her bereaved father and mother to be with her in her last illness, hut she murmured not, and all that loving friends and relatives could do was done for her, but to no avail. She called each member of tho family to her and hade them a last goodbye, telling thsm she was ready to go. She leaves, be sides her husband and little daughter, a sorrowing father and mother, four sisters and one brother, besides a host of other relatives to mourn ner death. While we know that we cannot have her back with us, yet we would have her death as a benediction to us all, guiding us onward and upward to things brighter and better, so that when the summons comes we can he ready and again be united, never more to be parted.
