The Morgan Monitor. VOL. IL NO. 32 *1 PER YEAR. OUR LATTER DAYS. I cloudy morning, and a golden eve, Warm with the glow that never Ungers Such long— is our life; and who would pause to grieve Over a tearful day that ends in song? The dawn was gray, and dim with mist and rain; Thero was no sweetness in the chilly Doad blast; loaves were strewn along tho dusky Iftne That led us to tho sunset light at last. Taught by His love, wo learnt to love aright; Led by His hand, wo passed through dreary ways And now how lovely is the mellow light That shines so calmly on our latter days! —Sarah Doudney, in Sunday Magazine. The) Magic Breastpin. By L. E. Van Nooman, HEN I saw that was likely to rain all day I determined to visit my friend Azrnl, ?o who keeps the vortn shop on Wardour street, I had eral holidays on hand and knew of no more delightful wny of spending an idle hour than iu look¬ ing over old Azral’s collection of vertu, which had a great fascination for me. The old man, who had taken quito fancy to mo—probably because I could appreciate his love for the bizarre and antique—and who oven becamo quito chatty at times, wa.s a venerable He¬ brew who boasted descent from David. Contrary to tho traditional istics of his race, he was frank open-handed—-I had found him generous. A fine old fellow ho was, tall, majes¬ tic, with a long white beard his breast; stately and slow in speech, jpolite, but not cringing, with solf-rospeeting courtesy which gives us in Rink, the “Godmother.” cannot soy why, hut he was my picture of Aaron—ho had n sort silent eloquence about him. kith or kin, he lived in tho love of relics, his, children he called them. Aud a rare aud exquisite, but ly diversified, family he had. Tho shop, which was wedged in tween a jeweler’s on one hand and second-hand book-dealer’s on other, was narrow and low, hut tended back, soma distance. shelves in the walls, on tables, drawers were spread the objects of passion iu the most enchanting gard for the conventional modes of rangement. Here a shelf of Dutch faience showed stout ters in bine and yellow, Next was shelf from which gleamed arms cutlery, swords, real Damascus blades, of so magnificent a temper as to of being bent in a circle. Here was a bureau drawer full pf exquisite carvings, crucifixes and amulets of rich and varied workmanship sido by side with diminutive Persian narghiles and squat Chinese josses. Int.lio next was agate from Japanese lapidpria, along with wood fretwork ” from Geneva ant jot from Cornwall. Here hung a paint¬ ing of Cimabue, here ono of Guido, there one of Benjamin West. To examine such a curiosity shop was my delight, and I often resorted thero. He had lately bought a stock of Moorish jewelry, and asked me to examino it. I eagerly complied, and while looking it, over saw a curious breastpin that immediately attracted my attention. A delicate little golden heart hold together two swords crossed. The swords were each about tkreo inches long, one a Scotch claymore of pure green gold, the basketkilt of tho most beautiful lace-like arabesque tracery of gold interwoven with silver. At the end of the kaudlo sparkled a tiny topaz, scintilating liko an impris¬ oned sunbeam. The other xvas an Eastern simitar, with broad, slightly curving blade and an edge of some whito metal, possibly silver. At tho cross-piece of tho handle thero xvas a ruby, and at each end of the cross¬ piece a diamond of the purest water. The heart boro two inscriptions, one in Arabic and ono in Latin. Tho Latin was “Gladii duo, cor unum.” The whole thing had a rich exotic look about it that stimulated friend my curiosity. if I asked my veuorahle I might buy it. “No,” he said slowly—“no, that is not for salo; but if you liko it I will tell you its history.” I replied that nothing would please me better. “That breastpin,” said he, “Is a trust confided to mo. Last year I xvas iu the Holy Land with my mother, in Jerusalem. Once on a journey to visit my kinsman, Javan, at Damascus, I came upon a poor Turk half dead by tho wayside. Ho had been attacked and beaten by robbers so that ho was dying. I got off my beast, and went to him and tried to lift him up. He attempted to speak. Bending close, I caught tho question in Arabic: “ ‘Art thou a Jew?’ “ ‘I am.’ “ ‘I had some faint hope that thou xvert a Christian, a European, per- ehaucc an Englishman.’ “‘I live in England, in London,'I said. “The dying man clasped bis hands. ‘Allah is good,’ ho whispered. ‘Do thou lift my head up. I have a trust. I xvill confide it to thee.’ Here his breath came thick and I could scarcely hear the words. ‘My father—made me promise—to get this—to—Janies —called Thurs—by — Lon—it—nay, by the heard of the Prophet, I xvill tell thee, ’ he cried, starting up ’it is—' hut the spark of life was utmost out. It dickered, nnd he had only strength to put his hand into his bosom and ’Tis an old tale, belovod; we may find Heart stories all around us just the same. Speaktothe they sad, and tell them God Is kind; Do not tread the path through which we came? Our youth went by in recklessness and haste, And precious things were lost as soon as pationtly gatuod; Yet our Father saw the waste, And gathered up tho fragments that re¬ mained. « partly drew it forth again whon began to glaxo his eyes. ‘Allah Ale- bar I’ ho murmured faintly, and spark went out. “Ho had taken from his breast that jewel; the parchment around it said; ‘James Tkursby, Singleton Cross, London, England,’ and I must de¬ liver it to James Tkursby,” The old man paused. "My wife’s father was James Tkurs¬ by!” I exclaimed, excitedly. “He has been dead those ton years, and Singleton Cross is our home.” “Then if thou art really his rela¬ tive thou hast been blest of fortune. Mine eyes would rejoice to behold thv wife.” The next day I brought my wife with me to see tho venerable Hebrew. “Daughter,” said he, after we had presented indisputable proof of our connection to James Tlmrsby, and given documentary evidence of my wife’s genealogy—for the old man, friendly as ho had been, was cautious about giving up hia trust,, and in that ho was, of course, justifiable—“and so, Tkursby. my daughter, thy sire was James Then I have fulfilled trust,” and he handed her the beauti¬ ful jewel. Once at home we were all with eagerness to examine it closely. I held it up to tho light. I did so tho handle of the pressed against my hand, and tho swords uncrossed. They had set at angle of about twenty degrees, and now they wore at right angles. was them astonished, perplexed. I tried gut back to their original tion, but they were firm. What it mean? I turned the pin around in every conceivable way, pressed every part for secret springs, but no solutiou of the puzzle offered itself. Much dis¬ appointed I laid it down, and my wife took it and began to examine it. In picking it up the point of the cl«) and more pressed against tho table, her finger rested on the hilt of the simitar. Immediately there was a click as before, hut—mirabile diotul —the jewel did not assume its original form, but tho simitar opened like a box split lengthwise. That is, there were now two scimetars precisely alike, each one half as thick as the first one, joiued by a most perfect but entirely invisible hinge, and inside was a tiny piece of very, very fine parchment. the Trembling with eagerness I opened parchment. Ha'—something writ¬ ten but in Arabic. YVhat a shame I But no; I would show it to my friend the Jew. He would interpret it for me. 1 looked longingly at tho claymore and tried to open it. I sot its point on tho table and prossod its hilt. No result! Then I remembered that when tho simitar opened tho point of the sword touched the table and my wife pressed the hilt of the former weapon. I believed I had found the secret, betting the points of tho Saracen weapon on the tablo I touched the basket hilt of tho tiny claymore. Magic! Open flew the sword. In it waB a paper or parchment liko the other, hut—triumph!—in English. And this is what it said (I had to use a magnifying “In glass to read it): the Name of God. Amen!” Then followed the regular logoi for¬ mula of an English will, bequeathing to James Thursby or his heirs the sum of $90,000 sterling, to be found de¬ posited in the Bank of England. It was signed “Noureddin Aga,” and witnessed with long Turkish names. Then followed the namo of a prom¬ inent London business house as agent of Noureddin, and in whoso name tho deposit had been mado. founded To^ say is that to put I was it utterly mildly dumb¬ deed. very in¬ It read so muoh like a fairy tale that I ulmost looked to see the pin take xviiigs aud fly off. As for my wife, she acted as though she was be¬ witched. Wo sat staring at each other in silence. She was the first to speak. “Stephen," sho said, “I think—” but hero there carno a voice from tho door. “Where’s Sue?” it said, and my wife’s elder half-brother appeared.

Magnus cared for him, nursed him tenderly, and they struck up quite a friendship. Noureddin, the Turk, was a man of affluence and nobility of character.

About Tea. The ancient way of preparing tea familiar was not with very it, appetizing to those but “what tho eye does not Bee the heart can not grieve. ” Tho mode of packing it, in China, was to have tho natives tread tho leavos into the boxes with their naked feet, and, as Chinamen’s feot are not al¬ ways those scrupulously clean, the effect ou who saw the operation was not favorable. They used to say that saner kraut was paoked in a similar manner amongtho German families of Pennsylvania, but that was probably slander. At auy rote, it is believed that tea packing is now carried on iu a cleanly manner. There aro hundreds of different kiuds of tea, aud the best undoubtedly goes overland to Russia. When tea arrives at. the London docks it is sont iu sealed vans to warehouses uptown, emptied out on large floors and bulked, so as to makejtke samples even. The tea is then put back into the chest, nmd all the members of the tea board or the tea trade are allowed two ounces from every pauco!, whioh makes a large quantity in the aggre¬ gate. Four days in the week there aro public Sales, Which often amount to 30,000 packages at a time, Thero aro regular tea testers employed at large salaries to test the samples. Some of these experts continue thoir work during the entfre day. If they swallowed tho tea they tested they would drink a hogshead during the twelve hours. Tho tea toster must have tho digestion of an ostrich, the strength of a lion and tho nerve of an elephant to endure what ho has to undergo day after day. .Philadelphia’s Franklin Statue.

'fells ot tlic TrbuhUs Lxpt?- Hfenfced tn OfetMitg Indians fn lien v«' the Sirtfci. That, is a pretty and pathetic story that my young friend Fred Govan wrote about tho missionary, Dr. But¬ ler, and his wife. No doubt but that it is founded on fact, and ho probably got his data from Some very old man who still lives near Coosftville, a little village twelve inilea below Rome, I was interested in the story, because when I was a lad that same Dr. Butler was imprisoned in tho county jail at, Lawrenceville, where my father lived. Another missionary, by the name of Worcester, was imprisoned with him, amt thoir offense was their refusal in lake the oath of allegiance to the state of Georgia or otherwise to leave the Cherokee nation. They were suspected of Using their unfluence to render ths Indians dissatisfied with the treaty that required them to go west, John Howard Payne, tho author of “Home, Sweet.Home,” was also a suspect, and was arrested and taken to Milledgo- ville to he examined. Those were hot times iu Georgia, especially north Georgia, foi' Gwinnett was a border county, and we children could almost see Indians squatted among the chin¬ quapin hushes or behind the trees Ofv tho road to the mill. YVe knew they were just ovor the Chattahoochee river, and that some white people over there had been murdered by them. Indians were as much a terror to us as ghosts and runaway negroes. The new gran¬ ite jail had just been completed, and nine Indians were the first prisoners. They all escapod within a week. They took up a stone in the floor and bur¬ rowed out like moles or rabbits. I never heard until Govan wrote it that Butler was dragged to Milledgo- ville with a rope around his neck, not am I prepared to believe that much of the story, He and Worcester were arrested at New Eehota (in Gordon county) and brought mounted to Law¬ renceville and tried before Judge Clayton, who was Mrs. Henry Grady’s grandfather, a learned, humane and incorruptible judge. They had the best, of local counsel, Elisha Chester, also a native of Connecticut, and they had the renowned William Wirt as an adviser, and they had the president, John Quincy Adams, on their side. John Marshal, the chief justice of tho supreme court, issued his mandamus to compel Judge Clayton to release the prisoners, hut lie refused, ancLa collis¬ ion seemed inevitable between the I'sited States and the slate of Georgia. I think that Mr. Govan’s informant is mistaken, for Butler had lots of friends —powerful friends - and John Ross, the chief of (he Cherokees, was hack¬ ing him. Doubtless he was a good man, but, he was stubborn and fanati¬ cal, and dech ved lie owed no alle¬ giance except to tho American board of foreign missions, and to God that - it, was his duty to teach Christianity to the Indians, and he, would continue to do so. Both these men were convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for four years. When they arrived at Mit- ledgeville Governor Lumpkin kindly advised them to take the oath or agree to leave the state, and if they would do either he would at, once pardon them. They refused and wrote to the hoard of missions for advice. That hoard commended thoir refusal and again urged Wirt ami Sargeant to resort •<> the supreme court. But those emi¬ Governor nent lawyers advised an acceptance of Lumpkin’s offer. So they accepted and were pardoned—and my father always said they returned to Connecticut. He knew them and had many conversations with them, and gave them good advice, for lie, loo. was n New England man. And Imnco I am surprised to learn from Mr. Go- van that Butler returned to his mis¬ sionary work nml died near Coosaviile and was buried hy the side of his wife. In fact, I never knew before that ho hail a wife; but, of course, the inscrip¬ tion on her tombstone settles that. Mr. Govan gives Butler the Christian name of Elonez, hut the records in the state archives show his name os he himself signed it to he Elizur. It is, however, an interesting nnd pathetic story and very great men figured in it, both stato and national. The conflicts between the state and the Cherokees and the United States continued for 12 years and ended only xvith tho exodus of 1838. Several treaties wore mado made only lobe broken. Ross and Ridge, the two chiefs, could never agree upon terms, and they had their followers. When Georgia coded Alabama and Missis¬ sippi to the United States in 1802, th# consideration xvas that tho United States should extinguish the Indians’ title and remove them beyond the Mississippi river. The federal gov- ornment, was so slow in trying to do this that, after waiting and urging nnd entreating for 20 years, the state got impatient and demand* d action. Tho Ross party declared they xvould not go at all, hut finally agreed to code their lands for $20,0(10,000 and 7,000,000 acres of land. This price was consid¬ ered beyond reason, and the Ridge party finally reduced it to $5,000,000 7,000,000 acres and $000,000 for in breaking up and trans¬ porting their very limited household goods. It is astonishing how many notable men it took to effect the removal of the Creeks and CherckeSS from Georgia. In over (lie records tec find that James Jackson had {rouble with Creeks; cofiliriiied wliO; after ikeit they had made treaty, depredations, aid and lie upbraided them forward a long list of damages, they amounting to $110,000, whioh he said must ‘Give me paper,” sab 1 tlife chiefi "and I will people make a than longer account agaliifd that.” But Troup and Gilmer ami Lumpkin the most serious troubles, and complications Adams, brought in Joseph atnl Jackson. John Forsyth Story, Andrew William Pickens, Wirt, 0 ; Scott and General Gaines—all of took an active part in the negotiations.

Sidney Smith right, said that Scotchmen were the generally hut when wrong wore and wrongest people in the no argument could turn them. Tlio word “scotch," “scotch the wagon," came from their stubborn - ness. Bnt they were true to faith and to principle. Every signer of tho Mecklenburg declaration of independ¬ ence in 1775 was a Scotchman, er as they are now generally called, “Scotch- 1 1 ish, ” that Is, Scotchmen who removed to the north of Ireland. It is very strange that so many of them came to this wild country and mingled with tho Indians and married their daugh¬ ters. There were the Rogers brothers on the Chattahoochee who took Indian wives. They were good men, good citizens and well educated. My wife when a girl used to visit their girls aud was fond of Them.

Popocatepetl's Rabbits. One would hardly look for a new species of rabbit, high up on tho sides of a great volcanic mountain. Yet, Dr. O. IT. Merriam has recently de¬ scribed just such an animal, which was discovered at an elevation of 10,- 000 feet, on the flank of Popocatepetl, the “mountain that smokes,” near the city of Mexico. It is remarkably small, does not jump like an ordinary rabbit, bnt runs on all fours, possesses no tail, lias short, ears, and lives on grass covering the slopes of the moun¬ tain below the region of snow and volcanic sand. Coat’s Milk as Food. It, is known that xvhile the coxv’s milk contains some 12.44 per cent, of solids, the goat's milk has 1(1.79 per cent. But the best feature of the latter product is accounted to ho its adaptability to the feeding of in¬ fants, also its immunity from the dan¬ ger of carrying the germs of tubercu¬ lar disease, the goat as a foster moth¬ er not being liable to tuberculosis. I t is claimed, too, for this milk that it, is hotter in feeding power and much ensier of digestion Ilian that of the coxv, tho reason being probably tho extreme minuteness of tho fat parti¬ cles; for this reason also the cream does not rise so rapidly, and thus the milk contains almost the sumo amount through the day. Cream rises most rapidly in the first, few hours that milk is kept, hence in feeding an in¬ fant, or invalid upon coxv’s milk it will he seen that tho cream will he in greater tho proportion at, the beginning of day, and the food approximate more to skimmed milk as the day ad- uanoes, tho variation being quite enough to derange an infant’s digest¬ ive organs. Another point in favor of goat’s milk is the portability of the animal producing it, in caso of the change of the child’s residence. All trouble and danger in changing tho dairy supply are, of course, obviated Ly the use of a goat, its removal be¬ ing a simple mutter.—New York Tri¬ bune. T. P.

A Pittsburg special says; Sweeping mid far reaching injunctions now fig¬ ure in the coal miners’ strike in the Pittsburg district. The developments "f Thursday tended to make the situ¬ ation a strained one ami It appeared that a crisis was near at hand. Tho strikers have demonstrated that their assemblages, marches aud mis¬ sionary the work have materially affected land output of the New York and Cleve¬ Gas Goal company, while at, the same time public sympathy lias been enlisted in their cause. The sheriff’s proclamation, issued two weeks ago restraining the men from assembling aud marching, has been a dead letter and the marches have been continued daily. No dis¬ turbance of any kind has occurred,the officials of the miners contriving tlirough tho n liole time to keep thoir men within peaceful bounds. A preliminary injunction was issued Thursday by Judges Collier and Htowo, which now brings the matter to the county courts for settlement. The order includes President Batch- ford and Lee Pierce, of the United Mine A\ orkers of America, and Presi¬ dents Dolan and Warner, of the Pitts¬ burg District Mine Workers. The hearing of the case and the de¬ cision is looked forward to with much interest. The miners and their offi¬ cials claim that they are keeping within the law and have the right to assemble in peace and demonstrate to the world that they are being wronged by a rate of wages that keeps them constantly at tho point of starvation; also that they have a right to use their presence and influence among men who aro militating against their in¬ terests Ly continuing at work. The New York and Cleveland Gas Goal Company, on tho other hand, as¬ sert, that the marches and assemblages are unlawful and a menace to their employes, many of whom, they say, aro willing to work provided the strik- ers matter remain from away, Looking at tho this standpoint, the com¬ pany made its radical move in tho courts to bring about a condition un¬ der which the company can operate its mines. The bill for an injunction against the United Mine Workers’ was tiled in the county courts about noon hy coun¬ sel for the New York and Cleveland Gas Goal Company. The defendants ,named are (lie United Mine Workers of America, Patrick Dolan, president; Edward McKay, vice president; Wil¬ liam Warner, secretary and treasurer, and others. Judge, Collier granted a preliminary injunction restraining order and en- joining the defendants from aKwem- filing or marching or encamping in proximity to the mines and houses of the miners for the purpose by intimida¬ tion, menaces, threats and approbii > 1 IB words, of preventing the miners of the plaintiff from working. It further restrains the defendants from inducing or compelling any oni- ploye or miner to quit work. A hearing was fixed for August Ifith. The injunction is regarded as the most sweeping yet issued. President Dolan expressed surprise when informed that it had been granted, and added: “It will make no difference to us. YVe will not break camp and will go right along as usual until the matter is tested in the courts. Wo will stay there regardless of every judge in Al¬ legheny county, and if they try to en- force the injunction they will have to build more jails to accommodate the men.” If the strikers continue their marches in the morning, as they now say they will, in defiance of tho injunction, capiases will bo issued for the offend¬ ers Should on thocharge of eontemptof court. tlic injunction lie enforced, the strikers’ camps around tho DeArmitt mines will soon be extinct.

Ohio roiiultHt* Hold a lied Hot Coaveiw tloii In Columbus. The Ohio populist state convention opened at Columbus, O., Wednesday, with Mr. Witt, of Cleveland, demand¬ ing more than five minutes ill which to speak on charges affecting certain middle-of-the-road delegates, who, ho said, were there in the interests o f Senator Hanna to keep the convention from indorsing the state democratic ticket. The chairman refused Mr. With more time and the delegates told him to sit, down. Finally, Martin Orumm, of Columbus, undertook to put him down. Mr. Witt resisted Orumm. George Iiiddle, of Columbus, seized a chair to assault Orumm. Delegates took the chair from Biddle. General pandemonium prevailed. E. M. Kerr and Orumm clinched and were fighting when Policeman Dail McManamy separated them. Chairs were broken in the light. All of the anti-fusion delegates were seated. Fusion was repudiated in a manner so emphatic as to leave no chance for controversy regarding the future pol¬ icy of the party. The convention, Ly an overwhelming majority, severed the alliance made a year ago with the democrats on the free silver issue and nominated a full state ticket. Tho resolutions adopted reaffirmed, the populist platforms adopted by the Omaha and St. Louis conventions of the party, and took issue on several matters of local interest. At the after¬ noon session the following state ticket was nominated: For governor, Jacob Ooxey, Starke county; lieutenant governor, Morris Whitcomb, Tuscarawas county: su¬ preme judge, E. O. Pomeroy; attorney general, O. A. Reider, Wayne county; state treasurer, F. M. Morris, Auglaize county. The convention remained in session until after (! o’clock, awaiting tho re¬ port, of tho investigating committee, but it w’ns not forthcoming, and the convention adjourned sine die, with the understanding that the committee would report to the slate central com¬ mittee.
