cracks in it; Luf the liepublicans- are

their candidates than n their platform.
Thev unite on sentimer.t and ignore
principles.
Not only is the political world all out
of whack, but nature seems to have
joined in the ' general melee. There
have been floods, cyclones, earthquakes,
etc. I passed through St. Louis a few
days ago. I hayo seen many sights,
but I never eaw desolation like that. It
would take experts many weeks to esti
mate the loss on both sides of the river.
The city, as I saw it, looks like one or
two old roosters who have been fighting
all day badly disGgured t- and ' muchly
done up.-'.
Pr. Tlmage says that the devil as
the "Princo- of the river of the air"
gets up these cyclones," but that God
directs them. I don't know that the
devil got them up; but I know if God
directed them, : he would have blown
down more breweries and less churches;
would have directed th? wind so that
the poor would have suffered' less" and
taken in more of ' the nabobs. But I
supine that Dr. Talmage was guessing
or joking, for he knows but little more
of thje gettor-up of cyclones than the
balance of us. ' I ; care . not y;ho gets
them up, they are awful things.' Fire,
air and water, these three essential
things to humgn life, are the' cause of
many deaths and th destruction of
millions of properly.
Then, most of us poor mortals are in
debt head over heels. " We will soon be
where it; will be aain6t our interests to
pay thq principal, and ' bgainst ciif
principle to pay the interest. Many
are there now. -But I suppose when
we cet free silver we will pay our debts.
J know we will if silver is free and the
government turns it over to our credi
tors before it fall3 into our hands. J

think it would save time and lawsuits

I say these are times that try men's
souls, and not . only their souls but
their patience and their pocket and
their character. 'Xhe feilow who stands

Curiosities of the Bible,
The following- Bible curiosities :are
said to have been gained by a study of
the good book ky the Prince of Grana
da, heir apparent to the Spanish throne,
during hjB thirty years-' imprisonment
a$ the palace of jjculls Prison, Sladridi
In, the Bible the word Lord is found
3..S53 times; the word Jehovah, 6,855
times; and the word - reverence x but
once and that in the ninth verse "of the
One ; Hundred and Eleventh Psalm.
The eighth yene:o the Cne Huprjred
and Eighteenth P,aalm is the' middle of
the Bible. " Tha ninth verso of the
eigth chapter of Esther is the longest
verse. The thirty-fifth verse, eleventh
pbpter of St. John, is the shortest. .. In
the One Hundea and 'evouth E;a!m
four' verses are alike the eigth, 'fif
teenth, , twenty-first and thirty-first.
Vfirh vrfii nf trio Hno - -Tiin?i.wl &nA
Thirty-sixUi fsajm erds alike. No
names or words with' more than six
syllables are found in the Bible. Th6
thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah, and the
nineteenth cb&pier of Sod Jingj ar
alike; The word girl occurs "but once
in the Bible, and tha in the third verse
and third chapter of "Joel. There are
found in both books of the Bible 3,580,
483 letters, 773,093 words, 1,373
verses, 1,1 Ss9 chapters and C6 book3.

The four, most inspiring . promises are
John iv. 2; John vi. 37; Matthew xi. 28;
and Psalms xxxvii. 4- The irst verse
of the sixtieth chapter of lsiah 13 the one
for the new converts. All who flatter
themselves with vain boastings of their
perfection should learn the sixth chapter
of Matthew. All humanity should learn
the sixth chapter of St. Luke from the
twentieth verse to its ending.

"A million dollars for my sightl" 1
Such is the offer made by Charles
Broadway Rouss, The eccentric New
York millionaire, to any one Who will
restore his eyesight, recently kfet.
He has issued a statement which is
genuinely pathetic in its simplicity. It
reads as follows:!
$1,000,000 REWARD.-
.To physicians, surgeons, scientists,
wise men and all others whom it may
concern; Be it known that I; Charjes
Broadway Rousa, who possess consid
erable wealth, hereby agree to pay the
sum cf cna million dollars to any hu
man being who restores to ma my sight.
Pa.tbotia3-J4etlit ia.- Here is a
mn possessed of millions, with the'
power to enjoy life to lhe full and the
promiso of ft goodly number of years
before him, cut oif fsom hp jght of
day, the world's brightness and beauty
a sealed book to him, and he stretching
out his helpless hands with the almost
despairing pryt' ! ' - -
f,A million dollars tor my sight.'' '
- Mr. Rouss is ! peculiar. Ilig eccea1
tricities have made him a reputation,
and his queer ways have often turned
the public eye uponhim. But he- had
these same queer ways before he was a
millionaire, and ; his' oddities were not
born of the possession of wealth, but
have always characterised the man.
Naturally hig offgr has attracted re
plies from huDdreda an(i thousands of
cranks, who think that all they have to
do is to walk up, exploit their little
theories, and carry off the million dol
lars. Mr. Rouss' office force has been
overburdened with the work of attend

as thatof his employers-paralysis of the

Mr. Rouss has taken great iqterest in
his case and has done everything

Martin has volunteered to take the va

Mr- Rou8$' answer was as follows:

because the duties are so low as to flood

of the worthy official waa stirred by the

"What he Tthe President! calls 'a

argument that these appropriations
cover works of national magnitude, and
