GENTLE WORDS.
Each gentle word is a thought of love,
Which finds its way through the blue above,
To light beyond on the pearly strand
And give thee joy in the better land.
Each gentle word i« a wreath of flower*,
Gathered fresh from tlic heart's green bowers,
Whose fragrance will reach to the pearly strand
To give thee joy in the better land.
Eacli gentle word is a harp of gold,
Which angels bear to the upper fold ;
To play thee a song on the pearly strand
To give thee joy in the better land.
Kind deeds and words aro tinkling bells,
Bounding up from the heart's deep well;
Whose chimes will reach the pearly strand.
To give thee joy in the better land.
Each gentle word is a swift-winged dove,
Bridging the way from the heart of love,
Over the waves to the pearly strand,
To bear thee across to the better land.
Each gentle word is a prccions stone,
Which God will set in a shining crown,
A nd give thee to wear on the pearly strand.
When thou hast gained the better land,

A PASSION FOR TRAVEL.
jules verne’s new el ay.
“lie Voyage a travi-ro lTmpoigjble,”
by Adolphe Denncry mid Jules V. mo,
was produced on Friday night at tho
Forte St. Martin, follows Paris. The story of
flip play is as :
George Hattcras, the hero, is possessed
with a passion for travel. A friend of
the family, the organist Volsius, a divine
singer, who is looked upon as almost a
supernatural being, his is nnablo to influence
him inspita of eloquence and his sup¬
plications. Tho old French dancing
tcaclior, Tartelet, a retainer of the Hat
terns family, not who is greatly venerated bv
George, is spite more successful thai
Volsius. In of all their endeavors
and all their prayers George is det r
minod to depart. lie, therefore, goes to
Dr. Ox, who has invented a marvelous
elixir, and in company with Eva, his be¬
tclet, trothed; tho Axol_ retainer, Waldemer, and Dr. a Ox Dane himself, ; Tar
he desoends into the bowels of the earth
through the crater of Vesuvius. They
traverse vast and mysterious galleries
where they find not a living soul, but
there aro numerous indications of tho
presence of a people who doubtless con
ceal themselves and watch the travelers.
George, always ready for adventure,
starts on a tour of observation and dis
covery. Suddenly is in Waldemer tha utters a
cry. He struck bock by a large,
curiously shaped stone. Whence comes
this projectile? By what unseen hand
has it boen thrown? They look on all
aides—nothing. pocket,, Waldemer will puts the
stone in his it be a souvenir
of tho centre of the earth. Meanwhile
Tartelet, astonished by the power of the

poses to test it and begins to play on
his violin from which ho is never sepa- j
rated. At the nrst stroke of JiiH bow tho 1

mounts up from the centre of the earth.
Sparks ruin down upou them; torrents
of lava roll about them. Here a very
effective ballet of fire spirits is inlra
ditoed. George is dazzled, transported.
He hud not hoped to see anything so
extraordiimr turning y. Nothing the now earth prevents
him from re to to live
happily with his triumphs. dear Eva. Bu t Dr. Lyden- Ox
Broke (Volsius)
tells George Hatteras that what, he has
seen is nothing in comparison with that
which he is still aide to show him. George
hesitates, then, pushed on by his fatal
passion, decides to prosecute still furlher
liis voyage through the Impossible. The
first net ends with the return of the ballet
and an of fire.
The first tableau of the second act rep¬
resents tho port and tho roadstead of Goa,
in India. It is thence tho traveler's aro
to start on a voyage of 20,000 leagues
under tho son, as in the romance which
bears thcsnme title. Thevmust embark:
then, once in the oiling, plunge into the
water in order to reach the Nautilus, n
vessel specially constructed for navigat¬
ing the depths of the sea. On arriving
at tho quay Waldemer drops the stone
which he got iu the centre of the earth.
It is picked up by a passer-try, from whom
he reclaims it. The newcomer, who is a
jeweler, sees that tho stone is a superb
rough diamond and wishes to purchase
it for the miserable sum of 200 sequins
thinking thus to roll Waldeme ■r, who
probably dot's not know its ren il value.
Waldemer, believing that the stone is
worthless, thinks thiit the merchant is
mocking him and flies into n rage. The
jeweler, likewise mistaken, thinks to np
p use Waldemer by offering him a much
arg< >r sum. Waldemer becomes furious.
Is it not enough ?” cries the jeweler.
“I'oyou want tv hundred thousand so

Hints About Dresses.
Jiadics who make their own dresses,
says Ihirper’h tiazar , will he glad to know
that gathered flounces are again in favor
for silks and velvets, as they are easily
made, and require less material than
pleatings. upright'headings A single bias gathered flounce,
with two of tho material
doubled, or else cut, in small slender
scallops, is considered sufficient trifnmittg
for the skirt, of indeed, any walking it costume of
velvet, or silk; is preferred in
f]os great plainness fi r velvet suits,
while, a narrower flounce or soft, preferred puff may
bo added for silk or satin if

For these a woolen Jersey is bought, and

chosen, a narrow velvet vest is insert* d,

Why Thieves Aro So Skillful.
It is common to speak of tho skill and is
exploits of thieves as remarkable. It
more remarkable that thieves do not ac¬
complish 3 greater things than are reconl
ed them. The thief simply follows
liis trade •ado, making himself as thoroughly
com] H'tont iu it as if he wore learning
some other means of obtaining bread.
Those upon whom ho preys are careless
and forgetful, while he is always watch¬
ing for au or opportunity. Officers of tho
law arc paid when they make no arrests,
and there is little ineentivo to catch a
thief >f ; so that thieves, if they can guard
agu inat the vigilance of the property

HllO lie, havi an easy road to travel.
It is difficult Ueult to catch them ; it is ditli

General Custer’s Death.
William F. Cody, professionally conversation known with
as “Buffalo Bill,” in a
a re porter, expressed the opinion that
General Ouster lmd died by his own
hand. His story is as follows:
In 1871 1 was post guard and scout at
Fort Hays, Kan. One evening I was
detailed to guide tho General and an es¬
cort from Fort Hays to Fort Lamed, a
distance of sixty-five notes. The animal
1 rode was n mouse-colored mule, and
the horse that ho always rode was a
thoroughbred Kentnc •kv, .-ailed by (lie
Indians “Whirlwind. ’ ’ When I rode • up up
and was presented to him ho remar ked
that I lmd better get'a homo. It would
take something bett. r than an old mule
to keep ahead of him. We started,
however, and for a time I had hard work
to kee p up; lmt when my mulo got his
RCCOTK 1 wind he left Custer’s thorough
limi, and wo were compelled to stop and
wait until the escort rode up. After
that I showed him a clean pair of heels,
and when we arrived at our destination
ho acknowledged that I rode a pretty
good animal. I met him himself. frequently
alter that before he killed Yes,
killed himself. The Indians who were
iu the fight at Little Bi g ihe Horn say he I
shot himself, and from Indian i v
I gion I am convinced that they tell the
truth. He was the only man ou the field
teat was not mutilated, and an Indian
will not mutilate the body of a man who
takes liis own life. 1 think that Oust r
fought till till his brother officers died,
and, no Reno to s upport and him, ended lie then
died by his own liana tin

“waste” of boys may lx> due to their
higher organism ; and, secondly, that it
may be “due to the fact that our little
boys are given over to the tender mer¬
cies of mothers and maids instead of
being reared by those who understand
them.” “ Those who understand them "
would seem to refer to o persons of their

The only respect shown
is the prevalent habit, where robbery has
been the motive of slaughter, .of conceal¬
ing the dead. The murdered convicts
ire usually cut up and mutilated, and-the
- mains buried in out-of-the-way “hunchbacks,” places.
This hunting of the as
h 'escaped convicts are often called in
d -rision, has gone on for years, entering
so deeply into the habits of the people
hat it lias escaped the attention of few
travelers through Eastern Siberia.

woman left in charge of a small village

hunchbacks,” was the reply. Such is
he prevailing demoralization in this
respect that boys have been heard to ask
their fathers to kill vagabonds in order
that they mav see “how the follow will

governments it's certain a con¬
vict escaped, or still under supervision,
to be caught returning from the mine.
Occasionally the soldiers imitate the
colonists in their exploitation of the
vagabond. The Cossack, as well as the
ordinary colonist, covets cheap labor, and

to pass from one condition of bond
slavery to another.
During the colonization _ . of the Trans

was one of the common diversions of
newly arrived settlers. From Tomsk to
Jliiti there is a locality that has rendered
itself notorious for the pursuit on a large
scale of escaped convicts. In the Tomsk
rovernmeiit itself whole villages are de
icrilied living solely by the robbery of
he vagabonds. The river Karasan has
teen so filled with the bodies of mur
lered convicts as to become putrid.
Sear Fingvd open woods are known ns a

Dear Sin -Feeling deeply grateful for the grea*
benefits which I have received from the use of a
very valuable article which has its origin and homo
in our beautiful city, and hoping that others who
are afflic ted as I luve been may find like relief from
its use. I beg the indulgence of a few lines in your
valuable paper for the privilege of communicating
to you a brief statemen t of facts, cts, for the benefit of
the multitude of sufferers to be met i with on every
side. Many oi my friends well know that I have
been very severely afflicted with heart disease fora
number of years, and have suffered from it as only
those can suffer who have that disease; it reduced
my strength so low that I could scarcely walk across
my room, and the least exertion rendered me so
short-breathed that I dared scarcely move, and life
seemed very burdensome. I treated for my mal¬
ady by the best physicians, and derived no benefit
from their treatment or prescriptions until I was ad¬
vised by my family physician to use Hunt’s Remedy,
as ray trouble was caused by inaction of my kidnevs,
which affected very seriously the action of my heart.
I commenced taking it (having little faith in it or
any other medic ine), and it ha-; helped me wonder
fully, and I am now a-great deal better, au-1 have
been ever since I began its use. In fact, I have taken
