I feel that these lyrichirigs and burn

Maybe I am like the poor fellow at
camp meeting who said he would like
to get religion but he couldn't feel
that he was a sinner. I can't feel
that way. If I had been at Paris
where I could realize the awful bru
tality of that negro's crime upon
that poor little innocent child I should
have joined the mob. Yes, I could
have seen the brute 'torn limb from
limb and his flesh eaten by the dogs.
I felt just that way when the negro
cut the school girls throat near Mad
ison in my own state, and threw her
mangled body m th ditch. Such a
negro or such a white man is no more
to me than a wild beast that has no
soul. You may call it revenge or
barbarity if you please, but to my
mind it is an evidence ol the purest
love of innocense and the deepest
sympathy for the sufferers. I want
no man to argue the matter with me.
I would not tolerate discussion over
it with a northern mih who has had
no experience nor with a' southern
one who has never felt the appre

do or try id do their sworn duty, but
when the case is clear and the proof
positive or the crime confessed, it
makes no difference with me whether
they shoot him or burn him. If the
burning will better serve the purpose
of intimidating and preventing of

effect in cold air which is lost when

Nature is renewing her youth, her
admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired.
This condition is owing mainly to
the impure condition of the blood !

I never go down a hatchway or in
to the cabin of a sunken vessel at
such times without involuntarily
shuddering over the thought that
perhaps some poor victim of the
wreck is imprisoned there, and that
he will suddenly be released by the
lurchings of the hulk and appear to
me in all his swollen, . wild-eyed
frightfulness.
I know, of course, that a dead per
son lis as harmless, tossed fantastically
about amid the solemn suroundings
of many fathoms deep, as he would
be lying calmly in his coffin at home ;
but I can t help a cold shudder and
an inclination to signal to be pu'led
to the surface if I come unexpectedly
in contact with one at the bottom of
the lake. j
That feeling 'is by no means un
common among lake-divers, and with
me it is the result of an indelible first
impression,, an incident of my first
experience on a sunken wreck. It
was six years aeo. in Lake Huron. I
had gone down to recover a valuable
cargo from a vessel that had found er
edK so suddenly that the captain and
crew had barely time to escape by
the boats.
TheXwreck lay in ninety feet of
water. Ii was badly broken up, and
rocked and swayed in the water so that
I kept my balance with difficulty as I
worked among the timbers. I was
prying ana chopping my way to
the hatches, when from some place
about the wreck, but just where I
never could tell, a dead man rose
suddenly in front of me.
The corpse was no more than ten
feet away erect, facing me, and seem
ed to me exactly as if it had x risen in
alarm at my approach The man
had died with both hands clutching
the breast of his coat. His open
mouth, widely starying eyes and dis
torted face made such a picture of
The nthusiastic welcome accorded
the Liberty Bell outdid in enthu
siasm and in number of the multi
tude that participated in it even
that extended to president Cleve
land. It was the third formal wel
come of the day and it touched ,the
popular heart more than either pi
those that preceded it.
Early this morning the, bell, with
its railing ol silver, was mounted
upon a handsome float. "Turn out
patriots," was the brief proclamation
issutd by Aldermen Kent! Marshal of
the day, and the patriots did turn out
as they have not turned out for any
thing or anybody for many a year,
with the possible exception of the
World's Fair inaugural parade.
Shortly after noon the crowd in the
neighborhood of the depot became so
dense that it was found necessary to
clear the street in order that the for-J
mation of the parade could he effec
ted. This was accomplished with
some difficulty and loss of time:, and it
was not until 2 o'clock that Alderman
Kent was ready to give the signal for
the head of the column; to move.
Then came the Liberty bell upon
its decorated float, drawn by thirteen
coal black horses, the Chicago - Hus
sars, 100 strong, and mounted on
magnificent chargers, acting as a
special guard of honor to the relief
The sons of Pennsylvania turned
out in force, so did the World's Fair
commissioners and directors, and rep
resentatives of the majority of the
civic societies of the city, and the
general public marching, four abreast
brought up the rear, t rpm begining
to end the procession was nearly two
miles in length. Duke of Veragua
and suite witnessed the procession
from the balcony of the Auditorium
Hotel. When the float (reached the
Lexington Hotel there was a brief
halt, and President Cleveland, who
stopd upon the roof ot the veranda,
surrounded by members' of his Cabi
net, made a short address.
Upon the arrival of the procession
at Jackson Park it proceeded up the
Fifty-seventh street avenue to Penn
sylvania State building:. The formal
exercises were then inaugurated.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Wm.
White Wilson and the "Star Spangled
Banner" wad rendered by male quar
tette. The duty of turning over the
bell to the temporal y care of Chicago
andthe World's Fair official devolved
upon Mayor Stuart, ol the Quaker
City, and he performed his task in
admirable manner.
TUE GREAT NAVAL PARADE.
The great naval parade was on
Wednesday. It was a magnificent
day and the ships looked yery im
posing. The fiercest looking among
them was a black-painted French
man. About that ship there was
somehow a suggestion of hearses.
With its black turrests instead of
masts it looked more like some ma
rine monster than a ship. Most of
the foreign vessels were painted black
'as to the hulls, but the Frenchman
Was black all over. Our own ships
were white of hull and red of funnel.
. On Thursday the two lines of ships
lay motionless while the President re
viewed them. ,The ships were gaily
decked with the flags of all nations
brightening the misty river in spite
of the rain. For miles the shores
were black with1 umbrellas.. The peo
ple who held them stood for hours
with soaking feet waiting for the re

I The three caravels, the counter

used. I use it lor burns, bruises,
neuralgia and internal hemorrages. It
