The story of a strange bequest cornea
from Paris. M. Bareillcr, ex .Mayor of
Boiaaise-le-Roi, a country town situated
in the Seine ct-Marne, was sentenced to a
year's imprisonment in 1888, for having
tired at And wounded a workman who
pressed him for payment of a debt of £lO.
M. Bftreillcr was driven mad with anger
by this sentence, and during iris deten
tion this sense of bitterness grew deeper.
His constitution became shattered, ami
the disnppoinhm-nt of not receiving a
pardon on July 11 wrought an alarming
change in iris condition. From ‘.hat day
he could ent no food, and on July 20 he
died at the Mclan Hospital. This ill
fated man was a hind owner of good
means, being worth about $120,000. Lat
terly ire conceived an abhorrence of iris
country on account of iris countrymen,
an<i lie de< lured that lie would spare no
opportunity of revenging himself for all
infamy cast upon him by the French
judges. He drew up two wills at differ
periods liy which he left his property at
Boissis-' to Germany, represented l>y tlie
Crown Prince, witli the object of estab
lishing there a settlement of young Ger
mans.
One of tho most prodigious engineer
ing projects now on the tapis is that for
tunnelling the Rocky Mountains under
Tray’s Peak, which rises no less than 14,-
441 feet above the level of the sea. It is
stated that at I, 111 feet below the peak,
by tunneling from Fast to West foi 25,-
000 feet direct, communication could be
opened between the valleys on th? Atlan.
tic slope and those on the Pacific side.
This would shorten the distance between
Denver in Colorado and Salt l ake City
in Utah, and consequently the distance
between the .Missouri River, say at St.
Louis, and San Francisco, nearly 300
miles, and there would be little more re
quired in the way of ascending or de
scending or tunneling mountains. Part
g>f the work has already been accom
plished. The country from the Missouri
to the fool of the rookies rises gradually
in rolling prairie until an elevation is
reached of 5,2(10 feet alaive the sea level.
The Ro kies themselves rise at various
places to a height exceeding 11,000 feet.
Os the twenty most famous passes, only
seven uro below 10,000 feet, while five arc
upward of 12,000, and one is 18,000 feet.
The point from which it is proposed to
tunnel is sixty miles due West from Den
ver, and, although one of the highest
peaks, il is by far the narrowest in the
great backbone of the American conti
nent.
Speaking of the progress made in
modern warfare an editorial in the Phi
ladelphia Ledger says : "The whole
German infantry force will be armed,
it is said, by October next with repeat
ing rilles. Their effective force will
thus be greatly increased. Some ex
perts can load and tire single breech
loaders almost as rapidly as other
expcits can discharge magazine guns;
but this is the exception, not the rule.
The ordinary soldier with a magazine
gun or a repeating rille will have at in
stant command from half a dozen to a
dozen loads, which he can discharge as
quickly as he can cock and tire a gun.
A charge like that of Pickett's division
at Gettysburg against a body of troops
thus armed would be simply impossible.
Instead of one round being tired ats lose
quarters, a dozen could be discharged
while the as'-anlting party was within
pistol range. The French, too, tin- get
ting ready a new weapon, which is de
scribed as something remarkable. It is
of small calibre, but of great range, and
has the advantage that each soldier can
carry at least five the number of rounds
of ammunition allotted to privates dur
ing the war of the rebellion. The next
great European war will probably show
that improved weapons have completely
changed the conditions of battle. Con
tending armies will hardly l>e able to get
within a mile of each other."
There are various establishments in this
pountry wliefe the business of breeding
Shetland ponies is carried on. These
include the Concord Stock Farm, in
Massachusetts, and the Big Meadow
Farm, in New York State.

I pi-opow to kt> ak thfa morning of the trials
and rewards Os Christian hospitality. The
Unit trial often cornea in the whim and ec
centricity of the gu«*st himself. There are
n great many excellent people who have pro
tiitM-rancas of dis}KMition. and sharp edges of
temp *rament, an<! unpliability of character,
which make them n positive nuisance in any
hoiiae where they stay. On short acquainb
they will bog n to com mind the noustf

all tta peculiarities of the gormah lizerorthrt
dyspeptic, and make excavations from is .or
dentistry with unnsual implements, anl in
a thousand ways afflict the household which
propOs -s to take care of them. Added to all,
they st iy too long. Th iy have no idea when
their welcome is worn out, and they
woul I be unmoved even by the blessing
Which my friend (Jerrit Smith, the philan
thropist, asked one morning at his breakfast
table, on the day when he hoped that the
long protracte I guests would depart, saying:
’*( > Lord, bless this provision, and our friends
who leave us to day I” But, my friends,
th re are all *viatioiis to lx» put on their side
of the scale. Perhaps they have not had the
same refining influences als>ut them in early
life that you have had. P«*rhaps they have
inherite I eccentricities that they cannot help.
Pi rhaps it is your duty, by example, to show
them a better way. Perhaps they are senttO
Imi a trial for the development of your
patience. Perhaps they were to lie intended
as an illustration of the opposite of what
you are trying to inculcate in the minds of
your children. Perham it is to make your
home the brighter when they AFC gone.
When our Quests are cheery, and fascinating,
and elegant, it is very easy to entertain
them; but when we find in our guests that
which is antagonistic to our taste and senti
ment, it is a positive triumph when we can
obey the words of my text and be ‘'given to
hospitality.”
Another trial In the Using of this grace is
in the toil and expense of exerciNirig it. In
the well regulate! household things go
smoothly, but now you have introduced a
foreign element into the inacliinery ( and
though you may stoutly de< laro that they
must take things as they find them, the
Martha will break in. The ungovernable
stove, the ruined dessert, the joint that
I troves to be unmastieab'e, the delayed mar
keting, the perplexities of a caterer, the diffi
culty of doing proper work, And yet always
being presentable. Though you may sur
there shall be no case or anxidty, there will
lie care and theta Will bo anxiety. In lO'.H
the (’aptain-General providisl a very grand
entertnmm nt, and among other things he
had n fountain in his garden—a fountain of
strong drink. In it were four hogsheads of
brandy, eight h*>gsh<gid.s of water, twenty
five thousand lemons, thirteen hunnsl weight
of Lisbon sugar, five pounds of grated nut
meg, three hundred toasted biscuits, and A
boat built on purpose was placed in the foun
tain, and a Iwiy rowtxl around it and filled
tlhciipsof the peo]>le who came there to lie
supplied. Well, you Say that was a lux
urious entertainment, and of course the
man bad no anxiety; but I have to toll yoU|
that though you had, or projx)se, art enter
tainment like that, y<m hove anxiety. In
that very thing comes the Divine reward.
\\ e won' born to serve; and when wo serve
others we serve God. The flush on that
woman's cheek, hs she bends over the hrtfc
stove, is as sacred in God's sight as tlie flush
on the cheek of one who, on a hot day.
preaches the Gosjx)!. We may s »rve God
wit h plate, and cutlery, and broom, as cer
tainly iis we can serve Him with psalm book
and liturgy. Margaret, Queen of Norway,
and Sweden, and Denmark, had a royal cup
of ten lips, on which was recorded the names
of the guests who had drunk from this cup.
And every Christian woman has a royal cup,
on which are written nil the names of those
who have over Ixen enteriained by her in
( hristian style names not cut by human
ingenuity, but written by the hand of a
Divine Jesus But, my friends, you Are not
t<» t >il unnecessarily. Though the fare lie
plain, cheerful pivsidehoy of the table, and
cleanliness of appointments will l»p good
enough for anytiodY that ever comes to
your house. John Howard was invited to
the house of a nobleman. He said . ‘ I will
come on one condition, and that is, that
you have nothing but potatoes on the table.”
The refiuisition was complied with. Cyrus,
King of I ’ersia, under the same circumstances,
prescrilw'd tliat on the table there must be
nothing but bread. Os course these were
! extremes, but they are illustrations of the
fact that more de|tends u |>on the banquet ts
than uj on the lianquet. 1 want to lift this
idea of ( 'hristian entertainment out of a posi
tive Ixmdage lute a glorious inducement
Every effort you put forth, and every dollar
you give t<» the entertainment of friend or
lot*, you give directly to Christ. Suppose it
were announced that the Lord Jesus Christ
would come to this place this week, what
woman in this houss would not begladto
wash for Him, or spread for Him a Ihml, or
bak<* bitMul for Him f Then* was one of old
who washed for Him, drawing the water
from the well of her own tears. He is com
ing. Ho will be here to-morrow’. “ Inasmuch
as ye have done it to one of the least of th<*se,
my brethren, ye have done it to Mo ” In pict
uro galleries wre have often seen representa
tions of Walter Scott an 1 his friends or
Washington Irving with his associates; but
all those engravings will fade out, while
through everlasting ages, hanging luminous
npd conspicuous, will be the picture of you
and your Christian guests.
You see we have passe 1 out from the trials
into the rewards of Christian hospitality;
grand, glorious, and eternal. The first re
ward of Christian hospitality is the Divine
lienediction. When any one attends to
this duty, God’s blowing comes upon him,
upon his ('oni|Kinion, upon his children, upon
his dining hall, upon his jKirlor. upon his
nursery. The blessing comes in at the front
door, and the l>ack door, and down through
the skylights. Got draws a long mark of
credit for service received. Christ said to
His disc*ii>les: “He that receiveth you, re
< eiveth Me; an I he that giveth a cup of coM
water in the name of a disciple shall in no
wist* lost* his reward.” As we have had so
many things recorded against us in heaven,
it w ill be a satisfaction to have written on
unfailing archives, the fact that in the
month of May, or June, or September, or De
cember. ISB7, we made the blissful mistake
of siipjx'sing that we were entertaining weak
in m like ourselves, when lo! they snowed
their pinions before thov left, andwefouud
out that they were angels unawart's.
Another reward comes in the good wishes
and prayers of our guest*. I do not think
one's house ever gets over having ha 1 a ff'xxl
man or woman abide there George White
field used to scratch on the window of the
room where he was entertained a f'a.ssage of
Scripture, and in one case, after he left, the
whole household w as eru>l by the read
ing of that passage on the window pane. The
woman of Shunem furnished a little room
over the wall for Elisha,and all the ages
have heard the glorious consequences. On a
cnld. stormy winter night, my father onter
t T.uo I rrih’inan (‘sbornc. the e\angelist. an i
through all eternity 1 will thank G<xi that
Trueman Osborne stopped at our house. How
many of our guests have brought to use con
dolence, aud sympathy, and help' There is
a legend told of St Heboid, that in his Christ
ian rounds he used to step for entertainment
at the house of A poor Cartwright. Coming
there one day. he found the cartwright
an 1 his family freezing for the lack of
any fuel. .HL Hebald ordered the man
to go nut and break the icicles from
the sid j of the house and bring them in,
an I the icicles were brought into the house,
and thrown on the hearth, and they began
to blaxe immediately, and the freezing family
gathered around and were warmed by them. '
That was a legend; but how often have our
frusta come in to gather up the cold, freezing
Arrows of our life, kindling them InCT ilium
ination, and warmth, and good cheer. He
who op n< Ills house to Christian hospitality,
turns th»so who are strangers into friends.
Years will go liy, and there will lie great
changes in you, nnd there will be great
ch luges in them. Some day you will be sit
ting in loneliness, watching a bereavement,
and you will get a letter in A strange hand
writing, And you will look at the post-office
mark, and say: "Why, I don t know anybody
living in that city;” and you will break tlie
envelop and there you will read tlie story
of th inks for your Christian generosity long
years b fore, and how they have heard afar
of of your trouble. And the letter will be so
full of kindly reminiscences and Christian
condolence, it. will be a plaster largo enough
to cover up all the deep gashas of your soul.
When we take peopl -into o ir houses as Chris
tian guests, wet. ike them into our sympathies
forever In Dort, Holland, a soldier with a
sword at his side stopp *d at a house, desiring
lodging and shelter. The woman df the house
at first refused admittance, saying that the
men of the house were not at home; but when
lie showed his credentials that ho hud been
honorably discharged from the army, he was
admit,led and tarried during the night. In
the night time there was a knocking at the
front door, and two ruffians broke in to de
H|ejil tliat lions hold. No sooner had they
come over the door sill than the nnned gu°st,
who had primed his piece and charged it
with slugs, met them, and tolling the woman
to stand lia k, I am happy to say, dropped
the two a-siuiting desperadoes dead at his
f s-t. Well, now there are no bandits prowling
nr aind to destroy our housts: but how ofton
it. is tiiat we fin 1 those that have Iseen our
guests liccome our defenders. We gave them
shelter first, an 1 then afterwards in the great
conflicts of life tir>y sou ;ht for our repu
tation; they fought for our property; they
fought for our soul.
Another reward that comas from Christian
hospitality is in the assurance that we shall
have hoipitality shown to us and toours. 11

There may come no such crisis to us, but our
children may lie thrown into some such
strait. He who is in aChristian manner hos
pitable has a free pass through all Christen
dom. it may bo that you -will have been
dead fifty years before any such stress shall
coma niton one of your descendants; but do
you not suppose that God can remember
fifty years? And the knuckle of the grand
childwill lie heard against the door of some
st ran ;e-, m»l tliat door will open; and It will
be t liked over in heaven, and it will be said:
“Tit it man's gfaridfather, fifty years ago,
gave shelter to a stranger, and now a
stranger’s door is open for a grandson.
Among the Greeks, after entertaining and
being elite taineil, they take a piece of lead
nn I cut it. in two, and th« host takes one-haif
of the piece of lead and the gUcet the other
half as they part. These two pieces of lead
uro handeadown from generation to genera
tion, and from family to family; and after
awhile perhaps one of the families in want or
in trouble out with this on© piece of lead
and fltfd tli<’ other family with the corre
sp Hiding piece of lead, ahd Ho sdonw is the
tally completed than the old hospitality is
aroused, and eternal friendship pledged, bo
the memory of Christian hospitality will go
down from generation to generation, and
front family to family, and the tally will
never lie lost, neither in this world nor the
world to come. , ,
Mark this: the day will com-’ when we will
all Is- turned out of-doors, without any ex
ception bare foot, bare-head, no xvater m
the canteen, no bread in the haversack, and
we will go in that way into the future world.
An l I wonder if eternal hospitalities will
<>|H-n before us. atl-l if we will be received
into everlasting habitations! Fratlcis fres
co! mid was a rich Italian, and he Was very
merciful and very hospitable. One -lay an
Englishman by the name of Thomas Crom
well appeared at his door asking for
shelter and alms, which were cheeffully
rendered. Frescobald afterward lost all his
property, became very poor, and wandered
no into England; and one day he saw a pro
cession passing, an 10l it was the Lord Chan
cellor of England; anil lo! the Ix>nl Chancel
lor of Englan I was Thomas Cromwell, the
very man whom he had once befriended in
Italy. The I,ord Chancellor at the first glance
of Freseobald, recognized him, and dis
rnonnte 1 from hi* carriage, threw his arms
around him, embraced him paid ids debts,
invited him to his house, and said:
“ Here arc ten pieces of money to pay for the
bread you gave me, and here are ten p-.eves of
money to provide for the horse you loaned
me, and here ar.- four hags, in each of which
are four hundred ducats. Take them and be
well ” So it will lie at last with us. If we
entertain Christ in the person of His disciples
in this world, when we pass up into the next
country, we will meet Christ in a regal pro
cession, and Ho will pour all the wealth
of heaven into our lap, and open before
us everlasting hospitalities. And O, how
tame are tlie richest entertainments we can
give on earth compare-! with tlie regal mu
ni fi one-’ which Christ will display bst'ore our
souls in lieaven! I was reading the account

While, in its wake, a sombre tint of gm/.
Half light, half dark, so restful to the eye,

Never run into debt unless you see

Live by the day; you will have daily

The brave man is an inspiration to the

It is not only arrogant, but it is profli
gate for a man to disregard the world’s
opinion of himself.
There are words thathtrike even harder

Let us so use the moments of the life
that is passing that they may win for us
a life that will never end.
The gamesome humor of children

For want of self-restraint many men
are engaged all their lives in fighting

and rendering success impossible by their
own cross-grained ungentleness; xvhilst
others, it may be much less gifted, make
their way easily and steadily, aud achieve
success by simple patience, equanimity
and self control.
Making Believe.
A correspondent says it's a custom in
London for impecunious young men un
able to keep a cob (as they call a saddte
horse) to make believe they have been
riding, as little boys do with diningroom
chairs. Algie ami Biirtio, old chappies,
put on their cords and tops, grab their
whips and goto a stable where there’s a
“splasher”—that's a bucket of mud and
a xvhitewash brush. There they are spat
tered. and as soon as it dries a bit they
toddle down afoot Regent. Bond or
Piccaddilly, just in from a dash across
the country. The splasher has different
kinds of mud for different localities.
“What'll it be, your honor, heast or
west ?’’
• So the mud aud the lie won't conflict,
there’s yellow loam from one source, red
earth from another, and the nice looking
black dirt peculiar to a third locality.
That’s a trick that takes. I have just
dropped on another. A worthy dress
maker I know is making three handsome
white dresses.

Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
Some of the lodges of the thirty thou
sand locomotive firemen held a meeting
in Tammany Hall, New York City, re
cently. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, in
an address, said:
“I have been led to believe that the
fireman is the most popular of all the
employees in the railroad service. Out
of every hundred applications I get for
positions, ninety are for ‘fire.’ If I get
off at away station anywhere, the farm
ers’ Uivs who want work always ask for .
nevdb anything else but ‘fire. The
American boy wants excitement, work,
and opportunity to rise; and when he
sees the train hurrying across tho mea
dow, the fireman before the open door
of the furnace, glowing like a demon in
the red glare, is to him a type of pro
gress. Ho knows it is exciting, he
knows it is hard work, but isn’t afraid of
It, and he knows that there is promotion
■ when the time cones and he is worthy
'of it. . .
“I believe in organizations like yours,
I and I like your motto, ‘Protection,
I charity, industry and sobriety.’ The
I two best anti-poverty medicines in the
world are industry and sobriety, and the
two best anti-poverty societies in the
world are the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen. They have al
ready abolished poverty so far as they
are concerned.
“We hear a great deal nowadays about
the bloated capatalists and monopoly.
Into the New York Central Railroad a
few capitalists have put their millions,
the farmers put their few thousands,
aud the widows their S4OO or $1.000.,
And this is the ‘grasping monopoly.
It is a co-operative society for running a
railroad, and you and I are its employes.
I have come down to talk to my fallow
employes, and have put on my best Sun
day clothes. Now this road will earn
about $34,000,000 this year. The
‘spouter’ hears this, and declaims about
its being taken out of tho people and
put into the pockets of the capitalist.
But out of it comes $12,000,000 for
wages—yon and I get that; $8,000,000
fortaxes, and $10,500,000 for repairs,
mostly for labor, leaving something
over $3,000,000 for dividends. So that
tlie bloated capitalist pays out $31,000-,
000 for labor and bloats on $3,000,000.
None of ’em have burst yet, I believe.”
After the Game.
This poor man is not a murderer or a
thief. He is simply a baseball umpire,
and the nine men who are about to tear
him to pieces comprise the losing club
in the game which he has just umpired.
Hems of Interest.
Always in a dress suit—a clean cat.
The woman question—will it storm to
day?
The anarchists hate bulls, because bulls
hate red flags.
Alaska courting must be immense—the
nights are so long.
Full-disess parade—peacocks and gob
blers on the street. «
“He who steals my purse steal? trash”
—and not much of it.
Iris fun to give opinions and advi-a, as
we pay no taxes on them.
I interpret moderation as svnony
mous with duty, You may apply this
philosophy to wine, desire for riches, or
lobster salad.

Carminative is an instant relief foi
colic of infants. It will promote di

Certain Cbitken Meia Cure.
Eight yosrs of careful experiment and pains
taking research have resulted in the dis-u-verv
of an infallible specific for the cure an J pi -
vention of that most fatal and dreaded eiArur
of the feathered tribo—Cholera. Aft- r
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which ever,'
Claim for the remedy was fully eubatautiatod,
the remedy was placed upon the market, ami
everywhere a single trial has been all that wan
required to prove it a complete nuece-n. The
directions for its uec are plain and simple, and
the coat of the remedy so small that th-- Having
of a single fowl will repay the expense, itw
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course of the <hee*s- a*
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a ; te
r entire, there need be no fear of Chowra,
which annually kills more fowls tHau all othar
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultrv
raiseror farmer can afford to be withoul it. ft
will do all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial :

To the Public: The high .character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth amt
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure he isi
now offering upon the market If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend Its administration..
Yours truly.
