John Redmond, the Irish member
of parliament, who took Parnell's

after his death, arrived in New York

The Hawaiian annexation treaty
will come up in the senate Monday,
and it is said that several votes in
favor of the proposition have been
gained during the recess. A two

who don't want our country to grow.
Governor Uolcomb shows the ut
ter worthlessness of reform claims
from professional reformers by accept
ing $1,500 as bouse rent from the state
treasury which the last republican
governor refused to touch. The act
ual expense of the governor for house
rent is said to be about $400, the bal
ance is a nice little rake off which
evidently tastes to a reformer as to
anyone else.
It is an old joke that the mint is
the only place which can make money
without advertising, but few of the
people who pass it every day could
suspect that this quiet looking. build

of energy, turned out last year more
than $51,000,000 of money in more
than 76,500,000 seprrate pieces. The
moral seems to be that it is not always
the most conspicuous business that
yields the greatest results. Ex.

W. J. Bryan talked calamity to a
crowd of banqueters in Chicago Fri
day night who were trying to do honor
to a great man. The Nebraska states
man never appeared 6o little and
showed up tha 6mall calibre and petti
foeing nature of the man 60 clearly
as he did in trying to prove that
wages had been reduced all over the
country because in one solitary in-jaruv-that
of . the Massachusetts
cotton sp'Inuers wages bad been
cut. Cotton factories in the south
had increased their wages and thous
ands of idle cotton looms had been
started all over the manufacturing
districts, and Mr. Bryan seemed to
think the public was so ignorant that
the real facts were not known and
that his attempt to distort the facts
would help his cause. As a matter
of fact such a epeech only injures the
man who makes it.

I HE Diiiv'oy law greeted the
country with a handsome New Year'c
gift in a comfortable surplus for tho
month of December. During the en
tire threo years in which tho Wilson
law was on the statute books tho
monthly statements wore an almost
unbroken succession of deficits. Dur
ing the three months prior to the ef
facement of the act from the Btatute
books the importers rushed-in enor
raous quantities of such classes of
goods as would be subjected to higher
rates of duty under tho new law, and
thus reduced to that extent importa
tions during the first few months un
der the new law. As a consequence
tho first month under the Dingley
act produced only" about $19,000,000,
The second month it rose to $22,000,
000, in round numbers; the third $24,'
000,000, the fourth, $25,000,000, and the
fifth, $28,000,000, in round numbers,
producing in that fifth month of its
record a suplus of nearly $2,000,000
This remarkable growth in the re
ceipts under this new law in the face
ot adverse conditions fully justifies the
predictions made by its friends that it
will, as soon as conditions become nor
mal, produce sufficient revenue to
meet running expenses and accumu
late something of surplus again in the
treasury. While it must not be ex
pected that the January receipts will
equal tho expenditures of that month,
because of the very large interest pay
ments that must be made in January,
and also because of other heavy ex
pcaditures in the first calendar year,
there is every reason to expect that
the growth in receipts which has
been so marked a characteristic of the
record of the Dingley law up to this
time will continue, and before the end
of the fiscal year the country will
have the pleasure of seeing the treas
ury collecting easily, smoothly, and
satisfactorily, with the proper distri
bution of the burden of taxation, suf
ficient revenue to meet all running ex-
pens s, a condition which did not ex
it at any time under the low-tariff
Wilson law.
At THE Lincoln banquet in honor of
Wandering Willie's return from Mex
ico, many thrusts were made at the
alleged prosperity of the people, but
we notice that the menu of the ban
quet to which calamityites sat down
included "Blue Points on the
Half Shell, Superior White Fish,
Saut eMaitre d'Hotel, Salted Breast
of Quail, Barde, Drawn Butter, Sara
oga Chips, Champagne Punch, Filets
Mignone, Glance with Mushrooms."
Tn view of this the banqueting calami
tvites were literally condemned out of
their own mouths, for these patrician
viands all went down their gullets
with great gastronomical gusto.

THE latest liom onto is more en-

votes he needed are wavering, one
having expressed a determination to

other will do the same. Governor
Bushnell's treachery is the chief sub
ject for discussion among Ohio repub
lican newspapers, and tne severe
castigation he gets ought to make his
ears burn all the time. Just now the
unenviable fame of Benedict Arnold
has been eclipsed by Governor Bush-

an ambition which overtowered his

The friends of the silver cause will
probably be quite distressed to ob
serve that the gold mined, the world
over, during the year just ended is es-
timatea by Director Preston of the
United States Mint at fully $240,000,000,
being an increase of nearly twenty
per cent over last year. The world's
population increases on an average
about one per cent per annum, and
with gold increasing at the rate of
twenty per cent per annum it would
seem that nobody need be lying awake
nights troubling himself about a lack
of circulating medium, or struggling
to find a way of increasing it with a
depreciated and discarded metal.

THE DEACON'S PIETY.
IT WAS EQUAL TO ALL OCCASIONS AND
LASTED OVER EIGHTY YEARS.
Suspended Religion. Services Indefinitely
lo Nurse the Victims of a Smallpox Kpl
demlo An Eiample In This as lie Was
In Ievotlon to the Flag.
Deacon William Trowbridge was a
email farmer living near Sheboygan
Fall a Ho went there over 50 years ago.
Besides tilling a little patch of ground
the doacon, who was indeed the very
soul of honor and ever had the respect
and confidence of all in that commu
nity, was in the habit, before regular
preachers were sent there, of reading a
sermon or exhorting. There was no
eham about Deacon Trowbridge's piety.
Ho was sincerity itself.
Fifty years ago the little village was
visited by a smallpox epidemic an old
fashioned, widenproad and spreading
epidemic and they didn't know how
to scotch it as well as they do now.
The first Sunday after tho dreaded
disease made its appearance the deacon's
congregation was quite large. At the
end of the servioes he made an announce
ment in about these words:
"These services will be postponed un
til after the smallpox disappears from
the community. From this on I shall
give my services to the stricken fam
ilies. I shall minister to their wants,
help to nurse them, and when they die
follow them to the grave. It may be a
long term or it may be a short term,
but, however long or however short, it
is my plain duty to help my, distressed
neighbors. "
The word was well suited to the ac
tion which followed. The good old dea
con hurried to his home, changed his
clothes, bade his family goodby and at
once began his work of mercy. What a
work it was 1 The epidemic lasted near
ly all winter. Largo numbers died. Few
in the village escaped the disease. Tho
deacon's example was followed by oth
ers'. Men went to their homes, told their
wives and children what the deacon had
said and was doing, arranged their busi
ness, provided fuel and provisions, kissed
their dear ones and went to the aid of
the unfortunate. Like the deacon they
went without reward or hope of reward.
Like him they spent weeks and some of
them months in that service without
daring to go home lest their dear onea
catch the disease.
The strangest of all this strange ex
perience is the fact that neither the dea
con, the good souls who imitated his ex
ample nor their families were overtaken
by the malady, notwithstanding the fact
that the watchers, helpers and nurses
were almost constantly in tho presence
of the suffering patients and notwith
standing the fact that they laid out and
helped to bury the dead.
Nearly half of the deacon's congrega
tion had disappeared when, the next
spring, he resumed services in the
schoolhouse. It was a sorrowful Sun
day. Those in the audience who had not
lost members of their family had lost
neighbors and dear friends. When the
good old Christian had read a chapter,
prayed and talked a practical sermon,
he referred feelingly to the scenes
through which the community had
passed. I think every man, woman and
child in tho room, including the deacon,
wept. At the close of the talk he asked
all present to join him on their knees
in asking that the community might
escape such visitations for all time to
come. It was a most earnest appeal. I
believe that that prayer has been an
swered. There may have been a few
cases of smallpox there since then, but
there has never been an epidemic.
The Sunday after Sumter was fired
upon, and while Deacon Trowbridge
was condncting services in the Baptist
church, the denomination to which he
belonged for over 80 years, he and his
congregation were disturbed by a great
commotion in the street right in front
of the church. There were beating of
drums and sounds of fife much out of
tune. It was so uncommon a thing that
most of the congregation walked or
ran out of the church. Finally the dea
con closed tho Bible and slowly follow
ed his fleeing flock. When outside, he
asked the cause of "this unseemly dis
turbance on the Lord's day." Some one
told him that the president had called
for soldiers to uphold the honor and the
flag of the nation and that they were
going to raise a company xignt tnen
and there.
The old deacon's eyes flashed as ho
walked out into the street, where a
young fellow was irregularly pounding
a bass drum, and said: "Nathan, I
know it is Sunday and that all but the
Lord's work should be abandoned, but
the saving of our country and the
shielding of its flag from dishonor is
the Lord's work. Give me that drum. "
And that model of piety strapped on
the big drum and went to pounding,
greatly outdoing Nathan in two re
spects he made more noise and kept
perfect time. He drummed as no one
before had never drummed in the little
village. As if it had gone on lightning
wings, word new tnrougn tne comma-

Within half an hour nearly evex .
in town and many from the outskirts
had gathered around the old drummer,
all cheering him, and on Sunday too.
That night Nathan Cole, who had been
relieved as drummer by the deacon
went to Sheboygan with enough men to
make up what became Company O of
the Fourth Wisconsin. J. A. Watrous

BEFORE THE RAILROADS.
When Philadelphia Was the Greatest City
In tho American Colonies.
In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti
mates of the population, which aro all
we havo, differ widely, but it was prob
ably not far from 30,000. A single city
now has a larger population than all
the colonies possessed in 1774, and there
are in tho United States today 104 cities
and towns of over 80,000 inhabitants.
Figures alone, however, cannot express
the difference between those days and
our own. Now a town of 80,000 people
is reached by railroads and telegraphs.
It is in close touch with all the rest of
the world. Business brings strangers to
it constantly, who come like shadows
and so depart, unnoticed, except by
those with whom they are immediately
concerned. It was not so in 1774, not
even in Philadelphia, which was as
nearly as possible the central point oi
the colonies as well as the most popu
lous city.
Thanks to the energy and genius oi
Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light
ed and ordered in a way almost unknown
in any other town of that period. It
was well built and thriving. Businesc
was active, and the people were thrifty
and prosperous and lived well. Yet, de
spite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the imagination to re
alize how quietly aud slowly life moved
then in comparison to the pace of today,
There in Philadelphia was the center

and the recently established mail coach
called the "Flying Machine, "not in
jest but in praise, performed the jour
ney to JNew York in tne mtnerto un-
equaled time of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of the coast
wise traffic or from beyond seas came
into port at uncertain times and aftei
long and still more uncertain voyages.
The daily round of life was so regulai
and so quiet that any incident or any
novelty drew interest and attention in a
way which would now be impossible.

The Original Organ Grinder.
When barrel organs, once the usual
accompaniment of tho magic lantern,
came into use, a native of the province
of Tende was one of the first who trav
eled about Europe with this instrument.
In his peregrinations ho collected
money enough to enable him to purchase
from the king of Sardinia the titlo ol
count of the country where he was born
for which, probably, in a time of wax
he did not pay above 1,000 guineas.
With the remainder of his money he
purchased an estate suitable to his rank
and settled himself peaceably for the
remainder of his days in his mansion.
In the entrance hall of his dwelling
he hung up bis magic lantern and his
organ facing tho door, there to be care
fully preserved till they moldered to
dust, and he ordered by his will that
any one of his descendants who should
cause them to be removed should forfeit
his inheritance and his patrimony revert
to the next heir, or, in failure of a suc
cessor, to the hospital of Tende.
Only a few years ago the organ and
lantern were still to be seen carefully
preserved. Pearson's Weekly.
