The harp aeal is another variety that is very common at certain n-ojxui. along those coast. Hundreds of tnuanls ara killed every season and their skin sent to Europe to be made into the bent oalitiea of patent leather. Some of these seals are rauht in strong nets, and sometimes, when found oo the ice at sufficient distsnce from the water, they can be killed with clube. but most of them are shot with the henry senl guns, with which the native hunters be come rery eipert. The ringed seal is the one that the Esquimaux depend on most for their sup ply of food and clothing, and authorities state that aa many as .V.l are killed annually in the far North.

There was some queer money on exhi beltion to-day in th ortice of the collec tor of internal revenue. It was receiied bv Chief Iepaty Loodergren as a present from his sister, w bo lire at Stockholm, Sweden. The m-xjey was coined in 1711. la the reign of Frederick of Sweden, ami for over one hundred and fifty years has been eat of circulation . It consists of a "4 daler," ot It piece, containing six poaada of copper, and a "half-dalr" eoia af tha same metal weighing about hjrta ounces. The money of which those piece are samples nas a curious history. During tha day of the great Charles XII. of Sweden the country was entirely drained of it gold and silver by long wart. When warrior Charles waa killed in a tiege in Norway the circula ting medium of the country u copper coins about the size of au old-fashioned American copper cent. Those coins, devised by Baron (itertl, the finance minister under Charles, were a sort of farmers' alliance circulating medium and were stamped "g.od for one Ki her dollar.'' The people refused to heliew that a little pie-e of copper ns wortt. u dollar In tilver, and after tlie death f j Churle they beheaded (ioertz tor hnd ! financiering. The small com;.. r i .'.in ' were abolished and in the nli.em-e . t' i gold and silver coin containing the full ! alue in copper were struck "ti . The ' " fixir-daler" piece i simph n piece of rough copper, eight inches i.uure. and , about one-thinl of an inch thick, and ' contains six pounds of copper. (In each I corner and in the center arc stamped the ' arms of Sweden and the initials of Kred 1 rrick. one of the success .rs of Charles. ' Chicago l'ist. Crabbing In the Hiidon. If I were asked. s a llud.-ou Kiw r ste:miont captain, what the favor.te style of fishing w us around tin' oltv. I wouldn t stop long to sai . crabbing.' I get so tired of seeing people crab bing," I wish they'd all die off or invent some new shellfish that was hs easv to catch. As I go up nnd down the Hud son everyday, when the tides right. I see on unbroken line of crabber." 1 should sny the dnilv catc h must average a great many huudnnl bushels. W here the crabs all come from I can t imagine. And this fifty miles of ' crabbers ' nin't, as a rule, those that are catching them for sale; they're just residents ,,n the banks that come down to get a few for a little aalnd they re going to make. Kvcry Sunday thousands of people conn' from the city, swarm into the boats, and station themselves out in five or six feet of water, and fish for crabs all dav, or as long as they'll take the bait. It isn't rery dangerous swrt; any child can do it, and I suppose that s what makes it popular. Most of the boats are pr,o id- d with five or six lines, with a piece of meat on the end of each, which lies on the bottom. They pull up one after the other round and round, till they happen to find a crab on the end of one. Then they net him, and throw the line over board, and then go on. Sixty crabs are a good morning catch. A Drummer in a Dilemma. It appears that a Western drummer wa bidden to that festivity known as a lawn party, and the tale further showeth that among the refreshments provided on that fetive occasion were some cherriis. Th drummer was conscious that there were depths of social etiquette which he bad never been able to sound, and as he was after all a fellow of sense, with the American adaptability, and did not wish to do that which was not according to the beat usage, he bethought him that it were well to watch those about him with a view to getting clews. In the matter of the cherries he was especially troubled, s he did not know iu the least what w as the proper method of disposing of the tone when once the fruit had passed his lips. He decided, therefore, that be fore he attempted to eat any of the luscious looking fruit he would wait and see what hia young and beautiful hostess iid in this drlieate manner. "I watched her," he goes on to sov. 'aad soon had the pleasure of seeing her slip a cherry between her lips, redder than the fruit itself. I took tip one from my own plate, preparing to ent it as soon ts I aaw how she dispoeed of the stone; but when she took the stone between her finger and snapped it at her grand mother I found myself quite as much nt loss a before for, rou see, I had no grandmother there."

That birds can foresee a hard winter is a belief too general to be fountd en tirely on fancy, but it seems as ifcena'n speciee of water fowl were oven able to anticipate storms not preceded by any symptom known to oar weather augurs. Tho captain of a Russian steamer plying betweon Astrakhan and Baku reports having passed through a gale that broke aboat noon of a day almoet cloudless till 9 a. m., at which time large flocks of sen birds wero seen hastening toward the rocky shore of Derbend, though the sailors suspected nothing wrong, ami only became alarmed when half an hour after the sky became shrouded in a curi ous lead-colored haze.

An English woman v isiting in Colorado has Bent to Chambers' Journal rather an "exciting experience of her own with wild cuttle in one of the lovely mountain parks of that Western paradise. She savs that in her quest for sketching ground it was her fashion to start off on long expeditions by herself, after having been once assured that im Indians were within thirty miles, that bears sel dom came down from the mountains so early, nnd rattlesnakes were fnst disap pearing. But one morning, walking down a narrow part of the valley, she found her road disputed by some fifty moun tain cattle, which had cvine down to graze, ami were clearly puzzled nt her appearance. She savs; "i hey formed iu line, and for a few minutes we stared at each cither. I had no wee.vn more formidable than a paint brush, and w as fortunately too fi ightened to run nwav. An inspiration came to mo. nnd. warilv watching my enemies, I struck up a stirring melody. The effect was delightful. i he creatures listened attentively for a few minutes, ami then one after another quietly fell to grazing, while 1 walked through the midst of them, singing as I went. "A few days later I was returning to supper when, alxmt a mile from the ram h. I saw a largr- number of cattle mossed across the wav I had to go. Remembering my late experience, I marched on, nothing daunted, and when within easy hearing, struck up inv Seng. "As before. the animals nil laced about and gazed at me, but alas! instead of dispersing, they came slow ly toward mo like a mov ing wall. Louder nnd louder I sung, until, looking beyond and around inc. I saw cattle everywhere, all moving in my direction, up the slopo from the river, down the mountains on mv right, cattle slowly but surely closing me in. "They were tyd tierce in aspect, but still they came nearerand nearer, n vasi, noiseless audience. "I dared not stop singing, as I saw clearly my s ng was a charm, without which I was but an ordinary human in truder, and to bo treated as such. I hi the other hand, it was evident that tho more I sung the nvrc tho herd gathered. "Closer and closer they came, until I could feel their hot breath like a cloud about me, nnd then a gentle poke in tho back or shoulder from their long horns. 1 "For a moment I despaired, then w ith some difficulty, from lack of spuce. I opened my parasol, whirled it round and round before me, with ull the strange shouts I could invent, and charged straight at my foes. " lii iny grateful surprise the bew il dered auimals gave way one by one, mid fairly made a lane down which I rushed, brandishing my weapon. When free of them I looked back to find thein steudily staring after me in dull nuiazcment, but not one moved a step in pursuit of me. "Some weeks later, when I was telling the story to a Nelcns'ca farmer, he in formed me that the d mger had been ex treme; onlv a week before he nnd some other mounted men had barely rescued , alive a newcomer who bod incautiously strayed into a cattle run. Fnim the fact that they are invariably driven by mounted men. the animals seem to have lost their respect for humanity on foot, and treat it with slight consideration." Sounds at Sea. It is a wide-spren ll- stablisheel fact that tho sailsof a ship when rendered concave by a gentle breeze' are most ex cellent conductors, of sound. The cele brated Dr. Aruott relates the following circumstance as a practical proof of this assertion: A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil far out of sight of land. Suddenly several of the crew while walking along the deck noticed that when passing and repossing a particular apot they always heard with great elis tinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung but a short distance bijv. Dumbfounded bv this phenomenon they quickly communi cated the eliscovc ry to their mates, but none of them were abb' to wdve the enig ma as to the origin of those seemingly mysterious sounds. Several months afterward. uj,n re turning to Brazil, some of the listeners determined to sati.-fv their curiosity. Accordingly they mentioned the circum stance to the ir friends, ami were informed that at the time when the sounds wero heard the bells in the cathedral of St. Salvador, on the const had been ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored bv a gentle, steady breeze, had trav vrt a distance of upward of one hundred mile s over the smooth water and had been brought to a focus by the sails at the particular locality in which the sweet sounds were first heard. This is but one of several instances of a similar kind, trustworthy authorities claiming that it has often happened un eler " somewhat similar circumstances. I e t roi t Free 1 're'ss.

Large num bers of fans nre exported from France to Spain, vvhere the fan is as e ssential an article as it is in China or Jnpan. and is used by the fair Spanish scnorns and sen, ritas w ith t he- grace and effect that has become proverbial. It might be mi p posed t hat the fan. which occupies such a conspicuous place in the toilet of every Spanish woman, would arrive at its greatest ilegrce of elegance nnel per fection iu that country. Such, however, is not the case. The Spanish product is rather coarse nnd ungainly, and al though Spain has laid a heav y duty on importations of French fans, the Spanish are as vet unable to compete successfully with the French in the manufacture of the finer grades of fans used by the higb bora Spanish beauties.

At the time our Chieftain was horn there were castles on the beach of Galilee and palaces at Jerusalem and imperial bathrooms at Jericho and obelisks at Cairo and the I'antheon at Home, with its Corintliian portico and its sixtem granite columns, and the Parthenon at Athens, with its glitnin coronet of temples, and there wpre mountains of fine architecture in many parts of the world, but none of them was to te the starting place of the Chieftain I cele brate.

The fact that K'n; David had been horn there, had not during ages elevated the village into nny special attention. The other fact that it was the birthplace of our Chiottian did not keep the ( h:co in a.'ter years roni special dis honor, for Hadrian buiit there the li rove of Adonis, ant for one hundred and eighty years the religion observed there was the most abhorrent debauch ry the world has ever teen. Our Chieftiin was considered dangerous from tha start. The world had' put fuspiciou eyes upon Him because at the time of His birth the astrologers had seen btellar conmiotions a w orld out of its plies and shooting down toward a caravansary. Star divination was a science. As late as the Eighteenth century it had its votaries. At the Court of C atherine de Medici it was honored. Kepler, one of the wisest philosophers that the world ever saw, declared! it was a true Fcier.ce. As late as the reign of Charles II. Lilly, an a-strologer, was called before the House of Com nions in England to give his opinion as to future events. For ages the bright appearance of Mars meant war, of I Jupiter, meant power, of the Pleiades, meant storms at sea. And, as history moves in circles, I do not know but that after a while it may be found thats as the moon lifts the tidies of the sea and the sun affects th growth or blasting of crops, other worlds be sides those two worlds may have something to do with toe destiny of individuals and na tions in this world. I do not won ler that the commotions ia the heavens excited the wise men on the night our Chie'tiin was born. As He cams from another world and after thirty-three years was again to exchange worlds, it does not seem strange to mo that astronomy should have felt the effect of His coming. And Instead of beiDg unbelieving about the one star tuit stojped I won Jer that all tho worlds in the heavens did not that Christ mas night make some special demonstra tion. Why should they leave to one world or met, or the bearing of the news of the humanizition of Christ? Where was Mars that night that it did not indicate the mighty wars that were to come between righteousness and iniquity? Where wai Jupiter that night that it did not celebrate omnipotenca incarnated? Where was the Pleiades that night that they did not an nounce tho storms of persecution that would assail our Chieftian? In watching this march of Christ through the centuries, we must not walk before Him or beside Him, for that would not ba rev erential or worshipful . So we walk behind Him. We follow Him while not yet in His teens, up a Jerusalem terrace, to a build ing six hundred fe3et long and six hundred ft wide, and under the hovering splen dor of gateways, and by a pillar crowned with capital chiseled into the shape of flow ers and leaves, and oiong by walls of beveled masonry and near a mar ble sereeD, until a group of whit-hairat ghilosophers and theologians gather aroun t im, and then the boy bewilders and con founds ami overwhelms thes3 scholarly septuagenarians with questions they can not answ er, and under His qu ck whys and whyfors and hows and wtieos they pull their white beards with embarrassment and rub their wrinliled foreheads iu confusion, and, putting their staffs hard down on the marble floor as theyar.se to go, -th?y must fijel lika chiding the boldness that allows twelve years of age to ask seventy-five years of age such puzzlers. Out of this Building we follow Him into the Quarantania. the mountain of tempta tion, its side to this day black with robbers' dens. I-ook! Fp the side of th's mountain come all tae forces of psrdition to effect our Chieftain's capture. But although weakened by fortr days i nd forty nights of absti nence, He hurls all Pandemouiuni down the rock?, suggestive of how He can hurl into belpiessness nil our temptatieous. And now we climb right a!ter Him up the tough sides of the "Mount of Beatitudes," and on the highest pulpit of rocks, the Valley of Hatin before Him, the Lake of Galilee to the right ot Him; the Mediterra nean sea to the left of Him, and He presachss a sermon that yet will transform the world with its applied sentiment. Now we follow our Chieftain on Lake Galilw. We must keep to the beach, for our fet are not shod , with the supernatural, and we remeaibar what poor work Peter made of it when he tried to walk the water. Christ our leader Is on the top of the toss ing waves, and it is about half past three in the morning, and it is the darkest time just before daybreak. But by the flashe3 of -lightning we see Him putting His feet on the crest of the wave, stepping from crust to crest, walking the white surf solid as though it were trozm snow. The sailors . think a ghost is striding the tempest, but He cheers tnem into placidity, showing Himself to be a gri3at Christ for sailors. And He walks the Atlantic and the Pacific and the Mediteranean and Adriatic now, and if ex hausted and aflirightei voyagers will listen for His voice at half pist thrae o'clock in the morning on any saa, lndeeu at any hour, they will hear His voice of compassion and enoouraseaient. We continue to follow our Chieftain, and here is a blind man by tae wayside. It is not from cataract of the eye or from oph thalmia, th eye extinguisher of the east, but he was born blind. "Be opened 1" He cries, and firt there is a smarting of the eyelids, and then a twilight, and th-n a raid noon, and then a shout, "i see! I sejl" Tell it to all the blind, and they at Iea3t can appreciate it. And here is the widow's dead son, and here is the expired damsel, and here is Lazarus. "Live!'' our Chieftain cries, and thay live. Tell it through all the bereft households, tell it among the graves. And here around Him gather the deaf, and the dumb, and the sick, and at His word they turn on their couches and blush from awful pallow of helpless illness to rubicund health, and the swollen foot of the dropsical sufferer becomes fleet as a roe on the mountains. The music of the grove and household wakens the disaf ear, and lunatic and maniac return into bright in telligence, and the lepor's breith becomes as sweet as the breath of a child, an 1 the flesh as roseate. Tell it to all the sick, through all the homes, through all tho hos pitals. Tell it at twelve o'clock at night; tell it at two o'clock in the morning; tell it at half-past three, and In the last watch of the night, that Jesus walks the tempest. Still we follow our Chieftain until the government that gave Him no protection iu sists that He pay tax, and, too poor to raise the requisite two dodars and seventy-five cents. He orders Peter to catch a flfh that has in Its mouth a Roman state?, which is a bright coin (and you know that fish naturally bite at anything bright), but it wa a miracle that Peter should have caught It at the first haul. Now we follow our Chieftain until for the paltry sum of fifteen dollars Ju las sells Him to his pursuers. Tell it to all the betrayed! If for ten thousand dollars, or for five hundred dollars, or for one hun dred dollars your Interests were sold out, consider for how much cheaper a sum the Ixvrd of erth and heaven was surreniere ' to humiliation an 1 death. But here, while; following Him on a spring night between1 eleven and twelve o'clock, we saw the flashi of torches and lanterns, and we hear the cry of a mob of nihilist. They are breaking in on the quietude of Gethsainane with ciuos like a mob with sticks chasing a mad dog. It is a herd of Jerusalem "rouTvis ' le 1 on by Judas to arrest Christ and punish Him for being the loveliest and best beinz that ever lived. But rioters are liable to assail the wrong man. How wera they to b? sure which one was Jesus? "I will kiss Him," says Judas." 'and by that signal you will know on whom to lay your hands of ar rest.'' So the kiss which throughout th? human race and for all time God intended as the most sicred demonstration of HtTec tion, for Paul writes to the Iljinans a id the Corinthians, ani the Thessilonisn concerning th ''holy kiss." and Pete; celebrates the kiss of chirity, and with that conjunction of hps Labm met Jacob, and Jose, h met hi3 brethren, and Aaron met Mores, and Samuel met Saul, and Jona than met David, nud Orpah parted from' Naomi, and Paul soparatei fr n his friends at Ephesus, and the father in tho parable greet .'d the returning prodigal, nnd when the millennium shall come we are told righteousness and peace will kiss each oth?r, and all the world Is invitad to kiss Christ as inspiration crie?s out, "Kiss the Son, lest He b3 anyry an I ye perish from the way" that the most s icred edemo i stration of 1-eUnion and affection was dese crated as the filthy lips of Judas touched the pure cheek of Christ, aad the horrid SJioci of that kiss has its echo in the treac'-i- I ery and debasement and hypocrisy of all ' ages- As in December, 1889, I walked on th? way from Bethany, and at the foot of Mount Olivet, a half mile from the wall of Jeru ' alem, through the Garden of Oethseuiano , nnd under the eight venerable olive trees 1 now staudinz. their pomoloical aucestors having been witnesses of trie occurrences spoken of, the scene of horror and of crime came back to me, until I shudderod with tha historical reminiscence. In further following our great Chieftain's , march through the centuries, I find myself in a crowd in front of Herod's palace in Jerusalem, and on a moveable platform ' placed uoon a tasseiated pavement, Pontius I Pilate sits. And as once a year a condemne 1 : criminal is pardoned, Pilate lets the peo plo choose whether it shall be an as sassin or our Chieftian, and they all cry out for tho liberation of the assassin, thus di?clarinz they prefer a murderer to tne salvation of the wepadd. Pilate took a basin of water in front ot these people and trie 1 to wash off the blood of this murder from his hin is, but ho could not. They are still lifted, and I see them looming up through all th i ages, eij it fingers and two thumbs standing out rj 1 with the carnage. Still follow ing our Chieftain, I ascend the hi 1 which General Gordon, the great Eng lish explorer and arbiter, made a clay model o. It is hard climbing for our Chieftain, for He has nut only two heoavy timbers to carry on His bac the upright and horizon tal pieces of tha c.-os, but He is suffering from exhaustion caused by lack ot food, mountain chiils, desert hoats, whippings with el-nw iod rolsand years of maltreatment. It toolt our party in 1SS3 only fifteen minutes to ehm'j to the top of the hill an 1 r. ach that limestone rock in yonder wall, which I rollo 1 down from the apex of Mount Calvary. But I think our Chieftan must have taien a long time for the ascent, for He ha 1 all earth an i all heaven and all hell ou His back as He climbed from base to summit an 1 there endure! what William Covper and John Milton and Chorlej Wesley an 1 Isaac Watts nnd Jame3 Mont gomery and all the other sare 1 poets have .empted to put in verse, and Anelo and P.snhael and Titian and Leonardo da Vinci and all the greit Italian an 1 German and Spanish and French artists have atte.npte 1 to pain'", and Bossuet and Masillou an 1 George Whitefleld ani Thomas Chalmers have attemptel to preach. Something ot its overwhelming awful Dess you may estimate from the fact that the sun which shine in the heavens could not eudure it; the sun which unflinchingly looked upon the deluge that drowned the world, which without blinking looked upan the ruins of earthquakes which swallowed Lisbon and Cameras, and has looked un blanched on the battlefields of Arbela, Blen heim, Megiddo and Esdraelon, and all the scenes of carnage that have ever scalded and drenched the earth wit'a human gore that sun could not look upon the soeae. Tho sun dropped over it face a veil of cloud. It withdrew. It hid itself. It said to the mid night, "I resign to thea this spectacle upon which I have no strength to gazj; thou art blind, 0 mi lnight and for that reason I com mit to thee this tragedy I" Then tha night hawk and the bat flew by, and the jackal howled in the ravines. Now we follow our Chieftain as they carry His limp and lacerated form amid the flowers and trees of a garden, the gladioluses, the oleanders, the lilies, the geraniums, the mandrakes,down five or six steps to an aisle of granite, where He sleeps. But only a little while He sleep there, for there is aa earthquake in all that region, leaving tho rocks to this day in their aslant and rup tured state declarative of the fact that something extraordinary there happened. And we soe our Chieftain arouse from His briec.' slumber and wrestle down the ruffian Death, who would keep Him im prisoned in that cavern, an 1 put both heels on the monster, and coming forth with a cry that will not ceaso to be echoed until on the great resurrection day the door of the lost sepuleher shall be unhinged aad Hung clanging into tho debris of demolished cems terieos. Now we follow our Chieftaia to the shoulder of Mount Olivet, and without wings He rises, the disciples clutching for Hli robes too late to reach them, and across the great gulfs of space with one bound He gains that world which for thirty-three years had been denied His companionship, and all heaven lifted a shout of welcome as He entered, and of coronation as up the mediatorial throne He mounted. It was the greatest day heeaven had ever seen. They had Him back again from tears, from wounds, from ills, from a world that never appreciated Him to a world in which He was the chief delight. In all the libretto of celetial mtrsic it was hard to find m anthem enough conjubilant to celebrats the joy saintly, seraphic, arch-angelic, deiflc. But still we follow our Chieftain in His march through the centuries, for invisibly He still walks the earth, and by the eye of faith we still follow Him. You can tell where He walks by the churches, and hos pitals, and reformatory institutions, etid houses of mercy that spring up along the wav. I hear His tread in the sick room and i in the abodes of bereavemeut. He msrehes on and the nations are gathering around Him. The islands of the sea are hearing His voice. Tho continents are feed ing His power. America will be His! Europe will be His! Asia will be His! Africa will be His! Australia will be His! New Zealand wi I be His! All the earth will bo His ! Do you real ize that until now it was impossible for the world to be converted? Not until very re cently has the world been found. The Bible talks about "the euds of the earth" and the "uttermost parts of tho world'' as beinz saved, but not until now have the "ends ot the earth" been dis covered ani not until now have th? "uttermost parts of the world" been re vealed. The navigator did his work, the explorer did his worlr, the scientist diil his work, and now forthe first time since the world has been creato 1 has the world been known, measured off and geogra phizeed, tho lost, hidden ant unknown tract has been mapped out, and now the work of evangelizitioa will bo b-jgun witd an earnestness and velocity as yet uai n maginsd. The steamships are realy; t'ae lightning express trains arersady; the print ing presses are ready; the telegraph and telephone aro ready, millions of Christians are ready and now sea Christ inarching on through the centuries. Marching on! March ing on ! One by one governments will fall into line and constitutions and literatures will adoro - His name. More honored and worshiped is He in this year of 1891 than at any tima since the year one.and the day hastens when all nations will join one procession "'follow I ing the Lamb whither soever Ho goeth." Marching on! Marching on! This dear old world whoso bac,'.. as been scourged, whose eyees have been blinlei, whose heart has bssn wrung, will yet rival heaven. This planet's torn robe of pain and crime and dementia will come off and tho white and spotless aad gl tferin robe of holiness and happiness will come on. The last wound will have stung for the last time; the last grief will have wiped its last tear; the last" criminal will have repented of his last crime and our world that has been a straggler among worl is, a lost star, a wayward planet, a rebellious globe, a miscreant satjllitj, will hear the voice that uttered childish plain ia Bethlehem and agonized prayer in Gathsemne and dying groan oa Golgotha, and this voioo cri-s, "Come," our world will return from its wan dering never again to stray. Marching on! Marching on ! Then this world's joy will be so great that othar worlds besides heaven may be glad to rei vice with us. By the aid of powerfnl ti.escoDes, year by year bocoming moro powtrful, mountains in other stars have oeen discovered and chasms and volcanoes and canals, and the style o" atmosphere, and this will go on, and mightier and mightier telescopes will be invented until I should not wonder we will bo able to exchange sig na's with other planets. And as I have no doubt other worlds are inhab ited for Gol would not have built such magnificent world houses to have the n stan 1 without tenants or occupants, in the finil joy of earth's re-demotion all astronomy I thiDk will take part, we signaling other worlds and they in turn signaling their stel lar neighbors. Oh, what a day in heaven that will be when this march of Christ is finished! I know that on the cross Christ said": "It is Baished." but He meant His sac rificial work was finished. All earth and all heaven knows that evan gelization is not finished, but there will come a day in heaven most rapturous. It raiy be after our world, which is thought to have about fifteen hundred million people shall have on its deefs twice its present pop ulation, namely three thousand million souls and all redeemel, aad it will be after this world shall be so damageed by ceouflagration that no hunau foot can tread its surface and no human beinj can breathe its air, but mo3t certainly the diy will come when heaven will be finished and the last of th9 twelve gates of the eter nal city shall have clanged shut, never to open except for the admission ot some celestial embassage roturnln; from some other world, and Christ may strike His scarreexd but healed hand in emphasis on the arm of the amethvstino throne ani siy in substance, "AU !vfy ransomol ooos are gath er 1; the work i3 done; I have flnishe 1 My march through the centuries." When in 1813, after the battb of Leipsic, which decided the fate of the Nineteenth century, in some respect; the most tre uend dous battle ever fought, tho bridge down, the river incarnadinad, tha stroet choke i with the wounded, the fields for miles aroun 1 strewn with a dead soldiery fro.n whom all traces of humanity had been c'ashe 1 out, there met in the public squire of that city of Leipsic the allied con querors and kings who had gained the vic tory the king of Prussia, the emperor of Russia, th? crown prince of Sweden fol lowed by the chiefs o.' their armies. With drawn swords these monarch saluted each other and cheered for tie continental vic tory they had together gained. History has ina le the seen raeaioraole. Greater and more thrilling will be tho spectacle when the world is all conquered for the truth, ani in front of the palace of heaven the kings and conquerors of all the allied powers of Christian usefulness shall salute each other and recount the straggles by which tbey gafned the triumph, and then hanl over their swords to Him who is tha chief of the conquerors, crying: 'Thine, oh, Christ, is the kingdom, 'ialte the crown of victory, the crown of dominion, the crown of grace, the crown of glory," ' Oa His head were many crowns," . PACAN1NI. Dils Cenlus Was Eccentric aad Whimsical to a Great Degree, '' There wm undoubtedly something ol the cbavlntan about Paganini. Thomasj Moore fays he constantly abased hii powers; "bo xvould play divinely, and d03 so sometimes for a minute or two;j ; but then come bis tricks aud surprise, bis bow in convulsions, and his enhar-, monies, like the mewings of an ex piring cat." Mystery had great charms for him. Fot a long time he puzzled the best violinists by tuning his instru tnent in didereat ways, and as he al ways took particular care never to do thia tuning within he3riug, many of his feats on the platform appeared inex plicable and impossible. Violinists implored him unavailingly to show them how ho produced his effects. He would got a little group together, begin to plav, and just as he reached the difficult passage everyone longed to see done he would peer into the faces of his listen ers, suddenly stop, and exclaim, "And so forth, gentlemen !" Mystery, again surrounded his repetoire. He very seldom pbived any other mU3ic than his own; and although he occasionally took part in a quartet or a concerto by one of the great masters, he made no effect with it. Ho used to say that if he played another composer's work he was obliged to arrange it to suit his peculiar htyle, a:,d it was less trouble to write a piece for himself. If by any chance he did play a classical work he in variably took such liberties with it as enabled him to display hia powers in his own way, Publishers sought to : purchase his compositions, but he set such an exhorbitant price on them that treating with him was out o the question. No doubt he iid thia designedly. At his concerts he was al ways careiul never to allow any other violinist to see his music on paper; aud when he did practice, which was seldom iu latter life, it was always in private. There was a strong suspicion of quack ery about all this; yet, as one of his bi ographers has taid, the extraordinary effect of his playing could have bad ita Bource only in his extraordinary genius. If genius be "the power of taking infin ite pains," he certainly showed it in a wonderful degree. Fetis tells us that he was known to have tried the same passage iu a thousand different ways during ten or twelve hours, and to be completely overwhelmed with fatigue at the end of the day. Tho word "diffi culty" had no place in his vocabulary. The most intricate music of the day was but child's play to him, as a certain painter at Parma once found, much to his chagrin. The gentleman discredited the common belief that Paganini could get through the most diflicut music at first sight. He possessed a valuable Cremona violin, which he ofiired to prosent to the virtuoso if he could per form, straight off, a manuscript con certo which he placed before him. "This instrument is yours," said he, "if you can play in a masterly manner that concerto at first sight." "In that case, my friend," replied Paganini, "you may bid adieu to it at once," which the painter, according to the bargain, found he had to do a few minutes later. i'Faganinicna" in Cornhill.

"Can you recall more than a single instance where a man of letters married a literary wife ?" asked a Chicago writer, the other day. "Browning? Yes. I know another instance which cornea j pretty near it, I do not think the fact is generally known, but James Whit comb Riley, in the early days of his lit- j erary career, waa a most ardent admirer , of Ella Wheeler, the poetess of passion, ' and a favored suitor for her hand. Both of the young people were poor, how ever, and neither had attained a national reputation at that time, although both had written some very charming speci mens of verse. I do not know whether Ella ever iutended to marry the young Hoosier poet or not, but I do know that young Riley was nearly heart-broken when their cordial relations were sun dered." IJeartk and Hall. James Uorden Bennett and the Imps; This is one of J ames Gordon Bennetts prime stool, stories, as he relates it: Wheu Irving was playing in "Faust" in thia country, he made it very real istic by employing a large number of supernumaries who alternately ap peared as angels aud then as imps of darkness. One of the graud scenes is where the imps of darkness descend. At a signal from Mephisto the imps be gin to bcamper and get down below through a trap door. Many had gone down below when a big, fat, 50-cent-a-nightimp started down. He was too large fcr the trap door and got stuck. In vain he tried to push himself down. An Irishman in the gallery leaned for ward and said: Thank God: hell's full!" An Electric 1'ile Driver. Electricity has been successfully op plied to a pile-driving machine iu put ting down tho foundation of an annexe to a paper mill near Paris, As the old section of tho mill was provided with an electric-light plant lying idleduriug the day, it was decided to use the power for operating the pile-driver. An Edi son motor was mounted in the lower part of the pile-driver frame and trans mitted power to a chain drum fitted with the fast and loose pulleys. By means of a suitable cat-out the current could be diverted from the motor to a resistance box wheu power for hoisting the pile-driver was not Deeded. The machinery weighed 1,100 pounds, and the height of fall ranged from sixteen to twenty f jet. A curreijt of sixty-three amperes aud 100 volts was employed, and the generator was about 330 feet distant. The conductor was a copper wire, 0-2 inch in diameter. Iron, TOie tlapanse T3aUot System.

Finally on the recom mendation of a friend who had used- y o u r preparations A worn-out with beneficial re sults, I procured a Stomach. bottle of August Flower, and com menced using it. It seemed to do me good at once. I gained in strength and flesh rapidly ; my ap petite became good, and I suffered no bad effects from what I ate. I feel now like a new man, and con sider that August Flower has en tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its worst form. James E. Dedbrick, Saugerties, New York. W. B. Utsey, St. George's, S. C, writes: I have used your August Flower for Dyspepsia and find it an excellent remedy. 1 DONALD KENNEDY Of Roxbury, Mass., says Kennedy's Medical Discovery cures Horrid Old Sores, Deep Seated Ulcers of 40 years' standing.
