One family in this county certain ly holds honor higher tbar, enrioeity, and bai not the least desire to open a sealed package that has been in ita possession for over 30 yeare. In 1809 a man who gave his name as Madison M. Tyler and said he was from Brooklyn, N. Y., came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. lingo Mc Anley, who live near Uantersville, and leased a vacant store-room that was on the premises. There was an air of mystery about the man. lie never, or rarely ever, spoke of his past life, and be con ducted all his correspondence through the postofiice at Ilarrieburg, which was some distance away, lie managed his store successfully and seemed to be making money. Id the second year of his life at Uantersville Tyler borrowed $300 from Mrs, McAnley. Biz months later she saw him making some preparations that indicated his de parture. Before she bad time to get nneasy about the discharge of the debt, Tyler walked into the house and paid her the money with inter est. Then he gave to her the sealed package, asking ber to keep it for bim. lie said the parcel was valu able and that he would certainly re turn for it. I Ins happened in 1871. Tyler left and has never been heard from since bis departure. Borne years ago Mrs. McAnley died, but before she died she gave the package to her sister, Mist Martha Black, and asked ber to keep it un til Tyler returned for it or sent for it. The parcel is now in the posession of Mias Black. She still holds it tor the owner. Not even the paper that covers the box has been touched harshly by corious bands. The pack age is 18 inches long, three inches thick and quite heavy ; that much Miss Black and ber relative know, and no more. The future of the mysterious par cel t Why, the reputation of the McAnleys and Blacks was establish ed long ago. Unless the owner come or sends that box will be held intact through the cetitarie.

When the best rm ral results fol low an unusual or abnormal event any discussion of its natural or super natural agency cannot change thr fact. Many believe that there are messages from Heaven more direct than the written revelations; and the believers are generally those whose experience answers for their faith. Eighty years ag in a country town of west New England, lived a drunkard locally known as "Dis tillery Btrnck Jones." In his early manhood he bad been thrifty, in dnstiious and temperate, the bus- hand and father of a happy family I! th he and his young wife bad in lieritcd some property. Jscob tbe brick Uyer bad a good home, and was looked upon as a rising man. When he was twonty live years oiu tue on or oi a j o on a aistiuery e'tiinney came to bim, with a prom ise vl tiiitn wages, as a skilled work man was wanted. He accepted with some reluctance, being an abstainer himself, and disapproving the then almost universal use of strong drink. While at work on the l ib he ac quired the taste for liiuor, through the cxamplo and persuasions of his mates, and his downward career be gan. Such is the story of the way be got his name. Kr twelve years "Distillery Struck Jacob was a sot. He did no work, but led a shiftless lite, spending his time with the low and rabald company lound at any tavtrn within ton or twelve miles of his home. Alcohol weakened bia mind, and vcn partially paralyzed his body No one believed that the drinking, swearing, staggerii g loafer could be rar from the drunkard s end. No one but his wife. She prayed for him, and hoped and waited. He never abused his family. lie only disgraced them. In his cups he often boasted of his "good pious wife" and bis smart children. One August night he came home from a long spree and went to bed nd slept nmetlv. 1 his was a grate fill circumstance, for his nights at borne wero too ofien so noisy aa to snggest incipient mania. In the morning he dress-.'d, washed and sat down to breakfast with the family Then, instead of his pipe, be found a pocket Bible, and went out and sat under a tree to read. He read all day. He seenud to have forgotten his drink and his tobacco. His chil dren wondered. His wife watched bim, cried softly to herself, and whispered, "God help him." For six months Jacob spent most of his time reading and meditating and gathering back his lost health and strength. By that time he had worn out one Bible and procured another. Gradually ho began to speak of his changed feeling and to seek his old associates in dissipation that he might carry to them the message of redemption. They laughed and called him "loony." Church mem bers held aloof and distrusted him when be asked their fellowship. At last, modestly, he dated the revolu tion of bis lite, and told its cause which to him never ceased to be a miracle. In a dream, that August night, be had seen the Saviour. The behavior of the renewed man was evidence enough ol bis sincerity. It was not until thirity five years later that he died, a beloved and humble old Christian, bavins; out lived all of his family and become totally blind. If it was an imagined vision that changed the sot into a saint the fancy was no less a divine visit. It was such a dream aa tbe Hebrew poet defines in the thirty third chapter of tbe Book of Job. 1 outh s Companion. nan's Inhumanity to Man. Man's inhumanity to man is no new theme nor thing, but there is not ofteu s more striking illustration of it than is found in s story which comes from Hammond, Ind. A man who bad taken a box of strych nine tablets was found dying near that town and was taken to a hos pital where he regained conscious ness long enough to say that be had just been discharged from a hospitsl, that bis home was in iSew l ork and that he was trying to make bis way there. After be died this note was fonnd pinned to bis coat. "To the 1'ublic 1 was tn a yard in Hanrtnoned to-day and asked a lady for something to eat. I was sick and hungry.

I The Proposed Currency BI1L It is earn there is to be a confer ence sool of the Senators who have in charge the work of framing new currency bill to bo introduced into the Senate immediately after tne meeting ol Uongresa. a well known, certain great interests are insisting upon currency lcgisla tion at the earliest possible moment, their position being that thero isn't money enough to transact the leg ltimate bosineFS of the country On the other hand, there are members oi Congress, among them Mr. Cn non, who is to be the Speaker of tbe House, who think that the vol ume of currency is ample for all legitimate purposes, and iu this view they are backed up by men who seem to understand the fin an cial situation thoroughly. There is, however, going to be i currency bill introduced into Con gress and a determined effort made to pass it. Tbe conference of the senatorial committee on the bill will take place on August 10th, at the borne of Senator Aldnch, of Uhode Island. It is stated that among other things the bill will provide for depositing the receipts from tho customs in national banks, as well as tbe receipts from inter nal revenue. The internal revenue receipta now amount to about $500,- 000 a day, and those from tbe cus toms to more than 1 1,000,000 a day, Practically, therefore, ail iho money that the government receives wil be at once turned back into circu'a tion. Now it is complained that i vast amount of money hundreds ol millions of dollar are locked up in the treasury and thua kept out of circulation. It is proposed also that the Secretary of tho Treasury shall continue to receive State and mum ci pal bonds as security for govern ment deposits. No doubt there are those who would like to have a law authorizing the Secretary of the lreasnry to also accept railroad and industrial bonds. In that way it would be an easy matter to got rid of a quantity of "indigestible se curities which have buen making Wall street sick, but Congress will never agree to anything of that sort. Indeed, some of tbe most in llnential members of Congress are opposed to the treasnry accepting btate and municipal bonds as secu nty for government deposits. It is a fact, ol conrse, that there are mu nicipal bonds that are not first class security. The proposed bill will also pro vide tor asset currency. Ibe plan is now to permit banks to issue notes to an amount equal to one-half of their capital stock, and to put a 3 psr cent, tsx on this circulation. It will be a diflicult matter to get Con gress to agree upon a currency bill. Even the leading bankers of the country are not agreed in regard to asset currency. Therefore, bowev er energetic tho friends of currency legislation mav be, it is doubtful if anything will be accomplished in that direction in the very near lu ture. S.vannah News.

Edgoworth and a force of hands made a gruesome discovery. On tearing off tho old shingles on tho roof of the hotiso the workmen noticed that a hole, two foot squire, had at some time been sawed in the sheathing. The sheath ing, which had been nailed back to tho ratters, was rornoved and the workmen were greatly surprised to find the remains of a body, which is supposed to be that of a white man. The remains, which were lying im mediately under tbe hole that bad been made in tbe sheathing, consist ed of a skull, right arm complete from shoulder blade to end of fingers, and part of bone of left arm. Thore were signs as if part of the body bad been partially eaten by rats. Dried flush still adheres to the fingers of tbe right arm. An old fashioned beaver hat, a pair of shoes and a pearl collar but ton wero also found. Tho shoes were fonnd at about where the feet of the body would have boen and the hat near tho skull. The house is a very old one and no solution of the mystery as to who placed the body in the loft where it was font d, or how long it had been there, has yot been offered. Wsdcsb.ro Messenger.
