DR TALUGE'S SERMON PEOPLE WHO HATE LOST THEIR WAY. Text: “And God opened her eyes and she caw a well of waters, and she went and filled tne bottle with water and gave the lad drink.” Genesis xxi., 19. Morning breaks upon Beer-Sheba. There is an early stir in the house of Abraham. There has been trouble among the domestics, Sarah, the mistress of the household, puts her foot down very hard and says that they will have to leave the premises. They are , packing up. Abraham knowing that the journey before his servant and her son will j be very long aud across desolate places, in the kindness of his heart set 3 about putting up some bread and a bottle with water in it. | It is a very plain lunch that Abraham pro- j vides, but I warrant you there would have been enough of it had they not lost their j way. “God be with you!” said old Abra ham as he gave the lunch to Hagar and a good many charges as to how she should con duct the journey. Ishmael, the boy, I sup pose bounded away in the morning light. Boys always like a change. Poor Ishmael! He has no idea of the disasters that are ahead of him.. Hagar gives one long, lingering look on the familiar place where she had 6pent to many happy days, each scene asso ciated with the pride and joy of her heart, young Ishmael. The scorching noon comes on. The air is stifling and moves across the desert with in sufferable sulocation. Ishmael, the boy, begins to compain and lies down, but Hagar rouses him up, saying nothing about her own weariness or the sweltering heat; for mothers can endure anything. Trudgo—trudge— trudge, crossing tho dead level of the desert, how wearily aud slowly the miles slip. A tamarind that seemed hours ago to stand only just a little ahead, inviting the travelers to come under its shadow, now is as far off as ever, or seeming so. Night drops upon the desert and the travelers are pillowless. Ish mael, very weary I suppose, instantly falls asleep. Hagar—as tho shadows of the night begin to lap over each other—Hagar hugs her weary boy to her bosom and thinks of the fact that it is her fault that they are in desert. A star looks out and every falling tear it kisses with a sparkle. A wing of wind comes over the hot earth and lifts the locks from the fevered brow of the boy. Hagar sleeps fitfully and in her dreams travels over the weary day and half awakes her son by crying out in her sleep: “Ishmael! Ishmael!” And so they go on day after day and night after night; for they have lost their way. No path in the shifting sands; no sign in the burning sky; Tho sack empty of the flour; the water gone from the bottle. What shall she do? As she puts her fainting Ishmael under a stunted shrub of arid plain, she sees tho bloodshot eye and feels the hot haud anck watches the blood bursting from the cracked tongue and there is a shriek in the desert of “We shall diel We shall die! *’ Now, no mother was ever made strong enough to hear her son cry in vain for a drink. Heretofore she had cheered her boy by promising a speedy end of the journey, and even smiled upon him when he felt des perately enough. Now there is nothing to do but place him under a shrub and let him die. Sne had thought that she would sit there and watch unt.l the spirit of her boy would go away forever, an l then she would breathe out her own life on bis 6ilent heart; but as the b >y begins to claw his tongue in agony of thirst and struggle in distortion and beg his mother to slay him, she cannot en dure the spectacle. She puts him under a shrub and goes off a bow-shot ar.d begins to weep until all the desert seems sobbing, and her cry strikes clear through the heavens; and an anzel of God comes out on a cloud and looks down upon the apDolling. grief and cries: “Hagar. what aileth thee:” She looks up and she sees the angel pointing to a well of water, where she tills the bottle for the lad. Thank God! Thank God! I learn from this Oriental sceno in the first place what a sad thing it is when people do not know their place and get too proud f< r their business. Hagar was an assistant in that household, but she wanted to rule there. She ridiculed and jeered until her son, Ishmael, j got the same tricks. She dashed out her own happiness and threw Sarah into a great fret; 1 and if she had stayed much longer iu that ! household she wouid have upset calm A bra- i ham's equilibrium. My friends, one-half of the trouble in tho world to day comes from : the fact that people do not know (heir place; J or, finding their place, will not stay in it i When we come into the world there is always ! a place ready for us. A place for Abraham. A place for Sarah. A place for Hagar. A place for Ishmael. A place for you and a i place for me. Our first duty is to find our : sphere, our second is to keep it. We may be born in a sphere far off from tho one for which God finally intended us. Sixtus V. was born on the low ground and was a swine herd. God called him up to wave a sceptre. Ferguson spent his ea? ly days iu looking after the sheep: God railed him up to look after stars and be a shephord watching the flocks of light on the hillsides of heaven. Hogarth began by engraving pewter pots; God raised him to stand in the enchanted realm of a painter. The shoemaker's bench held Bloom field for a little while; but God called him to sit in the chair of a philosopher and Chris tian scholar. The soap boiler of London could not keep his son in that business, for God had decide 1 that Hawley was to be one of the greatest astronomers of England. On the other hand we may be born in a sphere a little higher than that for which God intends us. We may be born in a castle and play in a costly conservatory and feed high-bred pointers and angle for goldfish in artificial ponds and be familiar with princes; j yet God may better have fitted us for a car penter's shop or dentist's forceps or a weav er's shuttle or a blacksmith’s forge. The great thing is to find just the sphere for which God intended us and thou to occupy that sphere and occupy it forever. Here is a man God fashioned to make a plow. There is a man God fashioned to make a constitu tion. The man who makes tho plow is just as honorable as the man who makes the con stitution. There is a woman who was made to fashion a robe and yonder is one intended to be a queen and wear it. It seems to mo that in the one case us in the other, God ap points the sphere: aud the needle is just as respectable in ins sight ns the sceptre. Ido not know but that tho world would long ago have been saved, if soino of the men out of the ministry were in it,aud some of those who aro in it were oat of it. I really think that one half the world mny be divided into two quarters—those who have not found their sphere and tho-’O who, having found it, are not willing to Slav there. How many are struggling for a position a little higher than that which God intended them. Ihe bondswoman wants to be mistress. Hagar keeps crowding Sarah. The small wheel of a watch which beautifully went treading its golden pathway, wants to be the balance wheel and the sparrow with chagrin drops Into the brook because it cannot, like the eagle, cut a circle under the sun. In the )jord s army we all want to be brigadier-generals. ‘The sloop says: “More mast, more tonnage, more canvas. Oh, that I were a topsail schooner, or a full-rigged brig, or a Cunar 1 steamer.” And .so the world is filled with cries of discontent be cause we are net willing to stay in the place where God put us aud intended us to be. My. friend*, bo not too proud to do anything God tells you to do. For the lack of -a right disposition in this respec t the world is strewn with wandering Ha gars and Ishmael*. liod has given each one of us a work to do. You carry a scuttle of coal up tho dark alley; you distribute that Christian tract; you give fern tbousard dollars to tho missionary cause; you tujr fifteen years sit with <-hronic rheum atism. displaying tho 1: w.ity of Christian submission. Whatever Goa calls you to, whether it win hissing or huzza; whether to walk under triumphal arch or lift the sot out of the ditch; whether it be to proa h on a pentecost or tell so.u« wanderer of the street • of the mercy of the Christ of Mary Magda lene. whether it be to weave a garland for a laughing child on a spring morning and call her a May Vuee.i, or to comb out the tangled looks of a waif of the street and cut up one of your old dresses to fit her out tor the- sanctuary—do it, and do it right away. I Whether it be a crown or a yoke, do not I fidget. Everlasting honors upon those who ! do their work and ao their whole work and ar6 contented in that sphere in which God . ha i put them, while there is wandering and , exile and desolation and wildernesses for dis contented Hagar and ishmael. Again, I find in this Oriental scene, a lesson of sympathy with woman when she goe? forth trudging in th» desert. What agi eat change it was for this Hagar. There was the tent and all the surroundings of Abraham’s house, beautiful aud luxuriohs, no doubt. Now she is going out into the hot sands of the desert. Ob, what a change it was! And in our day we often see the wheel of fortune turn. Here is some one who lived in the very bright home of her father. She had everything I possible to udminister to her happiness, i t lenty at the table. Music in the drawing , room. Welcome at the door. She is led i forth into life by some one who cannot ap | predate her. A dissipated soul come 3 and ' takes her out in tho desert. Cruelties blot ! out all the lights of that home circle. Harsh | words wear out her spirits. Tho high hope ! that shone out over tne marriage altar while j the ring was being set and the vows given and the benediction pronounced, have all faded with the orange blossoms, and there she is to-day broken-hearted, thinking of past joy ai)d present desolation and coming an guish. Hagar in the wilderness! Here is a beautiful home. You cannot think of anything that can be added to it. For years there has not been tho suggestion of a single trouble. Bl ight and happy chil dren fill the house with laughter aud song. Books to read. Pictures to look at Lounges to rest on. Cup of domestic joy full and running over. Dark night drops. Pillow hot Pulses flutter. Eyes close. And the foot whose well knewn steps on the door-sill brought the whole household out at eventide I crying: “Father’s coming ” will never sound on the door sill again. A long, deep, grief ploughed through all that lightness of do mestic life. Paradise lost! Widowhood I Hagar in the wilderness! , How often is it we see the weak arm of , woman conscripted for this battle with the , rough world. Who is she, going down the . street in early light of the morning, pale , with exhausting work, not half slept out ; with the slumbers of last night, tragedies of suffering written all over her face, her lus treless eyes looking far ahead as though for the coming of some other trouble ? Her par ents called her Mary, or Bertha or Anies on [ the day when they held her up to the font i and the Christian minister sprinkled on the infant’s face the washings of a holy baptism, Her name is changed now. I hear it in the shuffle of the worn out shoes. I sea it in the figure of the faded calico. I flud it in the ; woe-begone countenance. Not Mary, nor Bertha, nor Agnes, but Hagar in the wilder ness. May God have mercy upon woman in her toils, her struggles, her hardships, her desolation, and may the great heart of divine sympathy inclose her forever. Again 1 find in this Oriental scene the fact , that every mother leads forth tremendous destinies. You say: “That isn’t an unusual scene, a mother leading her child by the hand.” Who is it that she is leading? Ish mael, you say. Who is Ishmael? A great nation is to bo founded: a nation so strong I Shat it is to stand for thousands of years against all the armies of tho world. Egypt . and Assyria thunder against it but in vain, i Gaulus bring* uf> his army and his army is i jmittsu. Alexander de ides upon a cam ; paiga, brings up his hosts aud dies. For a long while that nation monopolizes the leani ng of the world. It. is the nation of the ; Arabs. Who founded it? Ishmael, the lad i shat Hagar led into the wilderness. She had I ao idea that she was leading forth such des tinies. Neither does auy mother. You pass i Along the street aud see boys aud girls who I will yet make the earth quake with their in- I fluence. Who is tho boy at Sutton Pool, Ply : mouth, England, bare-footed, wading down I into the slush and slime until his bare foot I comes upon a piece of glass and ho lifts it, • hieed*ng and pain struck. That wound in I tho foot decides that he be sedentary in t iu life, decides that ho be a student. That wound by tho glass in the foot decides that he shall be John Kitto, \ who shall provide the best religiou* ■ 1 encyclopedia the world has ever had provided, i f and with his other writings as well, throw i ing a light upon the Word of God such as , j has come from no other man in thi6 century, i Oh, mother, mother, that littlo hind that ; ] wanders over your face may yet be lifted to 5 ! burl thunderbolts of war or drop benedic • i toons. That little hand may blaspheme God ! in the grog-shop or cry “Forward!” to the i | Lord’s hosts as they go out for their last ;.J victory. j My mind this morning leaps thirty years » I ahead! and I see a merchant prince of New : York. One stroke of his pea brings a ship i | out of Canton. Another stroke of his pen i brings a ship into Madras. He is mighty in • | all the money mar..eta of the world, who is i he? He sits this morning beside you in tbe ■ Tabernacle. My mind leaps thirty years forward from this time and 1 find myself in • a relief association. A great multitude of Christian women have met together for a r generous purpose. There is on? woman in ■ that crowd who seems to have the confidence 5 of all the others, and they all look up to her i for her counsel and for her prayers. Who is I she? This afternoon you will find her in tbe i . v abbath-school, while the teacher tells her of ■ that Christ who clothed the naked and fed i the hungry and healed tne sick. My mind leaps forward thirty years from now and I i find myself in an African jungle; and there r is a missionary of the cross addressing the ; natives, and their dusky countenances are irradiate! with tho gla 1 t dings of great joy i and salvation. Who is he? Did you not i h'>ar his voice this morning in the first song ! of service? 1 My mind leaps forward thirty years from ) ; now’ and I find myself looking through the ; J wickets of a prison. I see a face scarred I with every crime. His chin on his open : palm, his elbow on his knee—a picture of ! ! de-pair. As 1 open tho wicket he starts and , ' I hear his chain clank. The jail-keeper tells , I me that ho has be?n in there now th. ee times. , i First for theft, then for arson, now for , ; murder. He steps upen the trap door, the , j rope is fastened to his neck, the plank fall*, his body s« ings into the air, his soul swings ' into eternity. Who is he and where is he? , This afternoon playing bite on the city com [ inons. Mother, you are this morning hoi*t , ing a throne or forging a chain—you are kindling a star or digging a dungeon, j A good many years ago a Christian mother , sat teaching lessons of religion to her chili; , and he drank in those lessons She never • knew that Lanphier would come forth and , establish the Fulton street prayer meeting, ; and by one meeting revolutionize the devo , tions of the whole earth and thrill the eter nities with his Christian influence. J>an [ phier said it was bis mother who brought him • to Jesus Christ. She never had an idea that • she was leading forth such destinies. But > oh, when J se? a mother re ’kless of her in ■ fluence, rattling on toward destruction, gar • landed for tho sacrifice with unseemly mirth i and godlossne.sH, dancing on down to perdi tion, taking her children in the same direo i tion, preparing them for a life of frivolity, a > death of shame and an eternity of disaster, I cannot heln but say: “There they go—there 5 they go:'Hagar and Ishmael!” I tell you > there are wilder deserts than Beer-Sheeba in t many of the fashionable circles of this day. I Dissipated parents leading dissipated chil > dren. Avaricious parents leading avaric ous - children. Prayerless parents load ing pra ver » less children. They go tbroogh every street, up every dark alley, into every cellajr, along j every highway. Hagar and Tshmael! and i while I pronounce their names it seems like the moaning of tho death wind: Hagar and Ishmael! I learn one more lesson from this Oriental s ene.anxl that that erery wilderness has a well In it. Hagar and Ishmiel gave up to die.* Hagan's heart sank within her as she • heard her child crying: “Water! water! ’ wafer!’ “Ah.” sh? says, “my darling, there is no water. This is a desert.” And then ’ j God’s angel slid from the cloud: “What t j aileth thoo, Hagarf* And she looked up and . j saw him pointihz to a’ well of water, where . shq filjed th ? bottlo for the lad. Blessed be ’ God that there i* in every wildernes* a well, if you.ortly know how to find it—fountains ! for ail three thirsting soul* this morning. On that last day, on that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried: “If any man k thirst, let him come to me and drink/’ All these other Amntains you find are mere mirages of the desert. Paracelsus, you know,spent his time in trying to find out the elixir of life—a liquid which,lf taken, would keep one perpetually young in this world, ana would change the age back again to youth. Os course he was disappointed: he found not the elixir. But here I tell you this morning of the elixir of everlasting life bursting from the “Rock of Ages,” and that drinking that water you shall never get old, and you will never be sick, and you will never die. “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters!” Ah, hore is a man who says: “I have been looking for that fountain a great while, but can't find it. 1 And here is some one else who says: “I be lieve all you say , but I have been trudging along in the wilderness, and can’t find the fountain.” Do you know the reason? I will tell you. You never looked in the right direction. “Oh,” you say, “I have looked everywhere. I ha vs looked North, South, East and West and I haven’t found the fountain.” Why, you are not looking in the right (direction ai all. Look up, .where Hagar looked. She never would have found the fountain at ail, but when sbe heard the voice of the angel she looked up and she saw the finger point ing to the supply. And, O soul, if to-day with one earnest, intense prayer you would only look up to Christ, He would not point you down to the supply in the wilderness. “Look unto me all ye ends of the earth and be ye saved; for I am God oud there is none else!” Look! look, as Hagar looked! Yes, there is a well for every desert of be reavement. Looking over the audience this morning I notice an unusual number of signs of mourning and woe. Have you found consolation ? O man bereft, 0 woman bereft, have you found consolation ? Hears© after hearse. We step from one grave hillock to another grave hillock. We follow corpses, ourselves soon to be like them. The world is in mourning for its dead. Every heart has become the sepulchre of some buried joy. But sing ye to God, every wilderness has a well in it; and I come to that well to-day and I begin to draw water from that well. If you have lived in the country you have some times taken hold of the rope of the old well sweep and you know how the bucket came up, dripping with bright, cool water. And I lay hold of the rope or God's mercy this morning and I begin to draw on that Gospel well-sweep and I se§ the buckets coming up. Tairstysoul! Here is one bucket of life! come and drink of it: “Whosoever will let him come and take of the water of life free ly.” I puli away again at the rope and an other bucket comes up. It is this promise: “Weeping many endure for a night, but joy cometn iu the morning.” I lay hold of the rope again and I pufl away with all my strength and the bucket comes up bright an ! beautiful and cool. Here is the promise: “Come unto Me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” The old astrologers used to cheat the peo ple with the idea that they could tell from the position of the stars what would occur in the future anrl if a cluster of stars stoo.l in one relation, why, that would be a prophe y of evil, if a cluster of stars stood in another relation that would be a prophecy of good. What superstition! But here is a now as trology iu which I put all my faith. By look ing up to the star of Jacob, the morning star of the Redeemer, I can make this prophecy in regard to those who put their trust in God: “All things work together for f;ood to those who love God.” Do you ove him? Have you seen the Nyctan thes? It is a beautiful flower, but it give very little fragrance until after sunset. Then it pours into richness on the air. And this grace of the Gospel that I commend to you this morning, while it may be very sweet during the day of prosperity, it pours forth it 3 richest aroma after sundown, and it will be sundown with you and me after awhile. When you come to go out of this world, will it be a desert march or will it be drinking at a fountain ? A Christian Hindoo was dying and his heathen comrades came around him and tried to comfort him by reading some of the pages of their theology; but he waved his hand as much as to say: “1 don't want to hear it” Then they called in a heathen priest and he said: “If you will only recite the Numtra it will deliver you from hell.” He waved his hand as much as to say: “I don't want to hear that.” Then they said: “Call on jugger naut” He shook his head as much as to say: “I can’t do that.” Then they thought perhaps he was tod weary to speak and they said: “Now, if you can’t say ‘Juggernaut,’ think of him?” He shook his head again a? much as to say: “No, no, no.” Then they bent down to his pillow and they said: “In what will you trust?” “His face lighted up with the very glories of the celestial sphere as he cried out, rallying all his dying ener gies: “Jesus.” Ob, come this morning to the fountain! I will tell you tho whole story in two or three sentences. Pardon for all sin. Comfort for all trouble. Light to: all darkness. And every wilderness has a well in it. Bee-Hunting in Australia. The native of Australia adopts a pecu liar method for discovering wild honey. He knows that bees never wander very far from home, seldom more than two miles, and he also knows that when a bee is laden with honey it makes, as nearly as possibly, a straight line for home. All that is necessary, then, is to find a bee that is well laden, and follow it. But that is more easily said than done, Any boy who has tried to follow the big and gay-colored bumble bee to its nest knows how great a task it is. But that is a mere trifle to following the sober lit tle honey bee, which can be Let against a gray colored hillside. l*Tu order to be followed the bee mu i t nave a distinguishing mark that ran be easily seen; and with such a badge the Australian provides it. He gums a small tuft of' white cotton to the bee’s back, and thus follows it with comparative ease. ** But the question now comes up. how is the cotton to be put upon the bee's back? The gum is quickly found—it is on al most any tree; the cotton grows right at hand. The bee, too, is found in almost any sweet flower, buried head first in the dusty pollen, drinking in the nectar, and showing quite plainly whether its honey sac is full or empty. It moves a little in its eager haste to secure the delicious li quid, but perhaps a quick dab will fasten the cotton on its back. Do not try it. As the little boy told his mother, the bee is a very “quick kicker.” Watch the Australian—and he is a very stupid fellow, too, in most things. He fills his mouth with water, has his snowy tuft of cotton ready gummed, finds his bee, gently drenr hes it with water spurted from his mouth, pi ks it up while it is still indignantly shaking itself free from the water which f logs its wings, and with a dexterous touch he affixes in an instant the tell-tale cotton. Very much out of patience, no doubt, with the sudden and unexpected rain storm, the bee rubs off the tiny diops from its wings, tries them, mbs again, and soon—buzz! buzz! away it goes, un consciously leading destruction and pil lage to its happy home. — St, Nicholas. Purple pond lilies from Japan arc the floral glories of the hour. The Japanese lily does not attach itself to any object, but floats around in the water. The leaf springs from a little air bulb that sus tains tbe plant on the surface and tbe roots find nourishment in tho water. During the past ten years Australian sheep have increased fifteen per cent, and New Zealand twenty per cent., while Canadian sheep have decreased eight per ©eat. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUBTBIAL I In coffee-growing countries an infus ion of the leaves of the tree is hold by many to be superior to the infusion of the berry. Tbe probable value of the dried coffee-leaves as an article of com- j merce has been suggested. Many persona begin to show gray hairs while tney eresyetwn their twenties, and some while in their teens. This does not by nny means argue a premature decay of tho constitution. It is a purely local phenomenon, and may coexist with unusual bodily vigor. The celebrated author and traveler, George Boarow, turned quite gray before he was thirty, but was an extraordinary swimmer and athlete at sixty-five. A favorite form of manufacturing quartz crystals is the sphere, aud balls of three inches or more in diameter are very valu able on account of the rarity of large masses of perfectly clear stone. One of the largest and most perfect balls of crystal known is 6.69 inches in diameter, and is now in Dresden. The finest ball in this country is owned by Mr. R. E. Moore, measures 6.625 inches, and is val ued at $->,OOO. So rare are the large pieces of fine quartz that one dealer is saidtokeep-a standing offer of SI,OOO for material for a five inch ball, $1,500 for one of five and a half inches, and $4,000 for a seven-inch ball. On the northern slope of the Alps the zone of perpetual snow reaches down to about 8,000 feet above sea-level, and on the south side to about 6,000 feet. In tbe Pyrenees the snow-line is at a height of about 8,950; in ths Caucasus, 10,000 to Ik.ooo feet, on the south side of the Himalayas, 12,980 feet, and on the north, 16,620 feet; at the equator, in the Andes, 15,980 feet; in Bolivia, 18,520 feet in western Cordillelo, and 15,920 in the eastern; in Mexico, 14,760 feet; in Chili, near Santiago, 12.780 feet; in Norway, 5,000 feet in the middle portion, and 2,300 feet at its northern extremity; in Kamchatka, 5,200 feet; iu Alaska, 5,500 feet. Mr. A. Sanson, a French scientist, states that, from a comparison of animal and steam power, in France at least, the former is the cheaper motor. In the conversion of chemical or mechanical energy ninety per cent, is lost in the machine, against sixty-eight in the ani mal, He finds that the steam horse power, contrary to what is generally believed, is often materially exceeded by the horse. The cost of traction on the Montparnnssc- Eastillc line of railway he found to be for each car, daily, fifty-seven francs, while the same work done by the horse cost only forty-seven francs; and he believes that, for moderate powers, the conversion of chemical into mechanical energy is more economically effected through ani mals than through steam engines. The ingenuity of persons who “get up” pre ious stones and mock pearls for “the trade” has been often commented upon and frequently censured. A London lapidary, who works in the groove in dicated, was called upon a few months ago in a court of law to explain his mode of procedure. “I make all my imitations out of real stones,” was his reply to the judge. On being asked to be more explicit, he said: “Pebaps I possess some pale stones which are of small valne; these I split by the aid ad my.tools; then introducing a deeper tone of color I join them together again, having considerably increased their sala ble value.” In this manner the colors of many stones are said to be intensified, such as emeralds, sapphires, amethysts and others. An apparatus which must prove of great value when fully developed was lately described to the British Institu tion of Naval Architecture by Mr. C. E. Stromeyer. It is designed to show the strains of ships tosstd by the waves or of other structures subject to great stress. Briefly described, the instrument con sists of a thin wire placed between two plates of metal, one being rigidly at tached to the structure of the ship or other object to be tested and the other held by a long wire and a coiled spring. Tho two plates are thus placed with their surfaces parallel and only separated by the thin wire, to which is attached a light pointer or needle. Upon anymore ment of either plate the thin wire rolls between the two surfaces, an i it will readily be seen that in this way the bend ing of a beam or the elongation of test pieces subjected to stress can be defined and registered. The wealthiest colored man in the United States is said to be Tonic Luron, a French quadroon of New Orleans, whose fortune is estimated nt $1,100,000. An organ of the colored people in th« South says that the colored people ol the South pay taxes on $90,000,000. Prairie chickens arc reported to be ven scarce in the West this season.
