were rendered with the usual skill of the
cathedral choir. Sirs. Cotton's solo , "I Know
that My Redeemer Llvctb , " waa especially
worthy of commendation.

If there was something of truly sacred por-
feetuess In the homage which nature paid to the
thrice sacred anniversary of yesterday , tlio
fairest tributes of loyalty that nature yields
had been brought to do honor to that anniver
sary by UIUKO of All Saints Kpiscopal church.
Tin ? rose tinted clusters of the hydrangea ,
the restful palm , the spotless Illy towering
from iti sheath of green , and blood red carna

tilUxed upon the face of the altar , all whis
pered of the glad event to which their beauty
lent so brilliant a charm. Kxtondiug high
above and from cither side of the
entrance to the chancel was a gabled
outline thickly wound wth smilax Inter
twined with rare cut llowors. Upon
either side were massed tall potted plants , all
in bloom , while ( railings of rich , slender ver
dure led along the carvings upon either side
and following on beyond were lost in va
rious nooks amid tlio sanctuary.

Tin : rutsT CO.\IHIIUTIOXAU :
U seems ns though tbo Hllos bloom with
wonderful luxuriance nnd rare perfection for
the glorious Kaster day , us though the touch
of the Master's hand twu thousand years ago.
its He plucked ono shining stem and preached
u sorjiUNi from its petals , had given
to them something uf the glow of
Ills own Immortal life , and every
year , in the nnnlversitry of thut day rolls
around they burst forth with wondrous
beauty nml purity , u fitting typo of that
blessed resurrection.
And the roses their fnifninco > was never
sweeter thmi on Enster morn , and they open
their rich leaves with modest yet confident
Joy , as tlmuRh they , too , would praise the
Mutter for the nope lie has given the world.
Ah I The ( lowers praise Uod , no mutter
how Jnngled or out of tlmo our hearts may be.
Hut yesterday morn , under the lofty arch
of the statelv First CotiKtvmitlonal church , in
the soft , rlefi llKht reflected from Its mellowed
windows , mid contrary to the usual custom ,
there worn no banks of roses , the white
nephltos , tlio dark red Jacqueminot , inter-
inlnplcd with the graceful Ascension uml
dainty lilies of the valley ; no festoons of
smlliix or the feathery splrca were there to
soften the outline * of chancel I'nd balustrailc ,
the only iloral demoiisti-.itlon bcini ? n slniilo
bunch of pink mid whlto blossoms which
1/r.iced the right of the pulpit.
However , nil that was lucklntr In this ex-
qtilidte but uiieiidurini ? beauty wiw fully
made up In 1)r. Duryea'ti eloquent sermon
"Christ is Hisen"-from I'aul.
It win u simple discourse not rnntful but
pungent , nor marred by neither passionate
or Impulsive rhetoric , but n cool and
skillful dissipation of the mists and
shadows that have always hovered about that
sweet old story. Tim eonnrejjatlon wiis au
Immense one , scarcely n single seat being un
occupied , and sparkling eyes and beaming
faces well attested to the fervent Interest
that the minister had awakened In his hear-
ei-s" hearts. The music by the choir was de
lightful , especially Mrs. Squires' solo , "I
Know That My Itodccmcr Llvelh. " which was
sweetly , pathetically and beautifully sung.
AT KOfNTZn MIIMOItl.U. .
A largo crow entwined with Ivy , lovely
flowers In great profusion and of sweetest
fragrance , line music , the sacrament and an
eloquent sermon bv Kov. J. H. Detweiler ,
were interesting features of the service at
that church. All about the pulpit and organ
loft were banks of potted plants , lilies , roses ,
evergreen decorations and banners bearing
such mottoes as "He is Hisen from the Dead"
and "I am the Kesurrection and the Life. "
All this unusual display of tender romcm-
branco and reverent celebration of the Sav
iour's crucifixion and subsequent resurrec- .
lion. In contrast with gay Easter bonnets
und bright colors everywhere- , ' formed au im-
prcsslvo scene. No denomination of religious
worshipers gives more serious .attention
to the observance of this holy
day than do the Lutherans. It is one of their
most sacred celebrations , and as such nothing
could IM > so appropriate as the administration
of the Lord's supper.
Much artistic taste was displayed in ar
ranging the Iloral offerings. An arch , be
neath which rested the pyramid of plants and
flowers , and from "tho center of which was
suspended a snow white dove , encircled the
pulpit. At one sldeT stood the cross , while
along the front of the- choir rail and balcony
were palmes and lilies and vines.
The choir at this church is composed of two
lady vocalists , Miss Frances Koeder being
the alto and Mrs. H. Altweller the soprano.
Their programme , in addition to the regular
service singing , consisted of one or two solos
and a duet. Prof. G. C. Knopfel presided ut
the big organ. Mrs. Altweller sang , "God's
Hcdeoming Work Is Done. "
At (5 ( a. in. there , was u sunrise praise ser
vice ; at 10 the pastor preached from this text ,
"Hison with Christ , " while In the evening the
subject of his sermon Was , "I am the resur
rection. "
rnsvr METHODIST nirncii.
The first object which attracted the atten
tion upon entering the church was a largo
cross about four feet high , made of beautiful
white rosrs and carnations upon a ground of
.smilax. This stood just within the railing
and immediately in front of the pulpit. On u
stand ut the right of the pulpit stood a largo
vase filled with calla lllllcs , while the pulpit
railing was twined with ropes of smilax
sprinkled hero and there with roses , Other
flowers , both cut and potted , were arranged
about the pulpit and organ , filling the church
with their fragrance and bringing forcibly to
mind thoughts of the beautiful springtime
and the holy Easter festival. The congrega
tion began to assemble early. , Ioy was de
picted upun every face ami heart greetings
and expressions of good will were heard upon
every side. Even those whoso sombre re
sentments betokened a visit from the angel of
death , joined in the general rejoicing.
The pastor , Kov. 1' . H. Merrill , conducted
the service and delivered a very eloquent
sermon appropriate to the occasion , taking
for his text Revelations i. , 17 , IS.
The singing was joined in by the entire
congregation under the direction of Prof.
Leo Kratz.

KlVeots of n Two Yenrs' Trial of That
1'olicy in I'ixctor.
E.\ITII : : : , Neb. , April 0. [ Special to Tin :
Uii : : . ] The election is past and for ono year
Exeter will have no authorized dispensers of
lager. Many towns and cities have tried it
before us did Exeter in ISM ) and 1S37 , but few
reports have been made as to the comparative
workings of the two systems , except such re
ports as are prepared for the prohibition or
gans by some ministerial brother , who .spends
the greater portion of his time in the seclu
sion of his homo , and as n consequence knows
very little' of what occurs In the business portion
tion of the city.
Perhaps It may bo of general Interest to
give a few notes compiled by an unprejudiced
resident of our city during the past four
years , and the people of Exeter would like to
heap from other towns through the columns
of TIIK liu $ as to the comparative workings
of attempted prohibition and successful high
license ,
The close of the year 1SS5 left Exeter out of
debt and witlr S-'tOO in pocket , town warrants
as good as United States greenbacks , two
empty dwelling houses , not ti vacant business
house , sidewalks extended in every direction
to the outsktrts'of the corporation streets in
good repair , line srdoon paying $1'JOO license ,
very Jlttly rowdyism on Sunday and no mar
shal , the constables being considered capable
of running the ' 'semi-occasional drunk. "
In April , ISbO , the prohibition board quali
fied , passed a stringent ordinance against the
snlo of liquor , Installed a marshal and went to
sleep. A law and order league was then or
ganized , 803 paid into the general fund , sev
eral small boys paid to illl tyi on buck beer ,
which was being dispensed here , two prose
cutions l > egan and finally dismissed and they ,
too , went to sleep with the consciousness of
having done their duty.
During the years isjj-i ! and 1887 thirty-seven
families left town , two places where" liquor
could bo obtained were running night and
day. live government liquor licenses were
held by parties hero and another one was ar
rested by u United States marshal for selling
without n government license , taxes Increased
! tt per cent , and sales of three of our most
prominent business houses from whom these
figures were obtained , decreased ! t5per cent.
At thO beginning of 18SS there were twenty-
three dwellings ' "for rent , " three business
houses vacant , sidewalks and streets in poor
condition , town warrants discounting at 10
per cent , and a small balance was turned over
to the license board , which amount however
was overshadowed by outstanding warrants.
During this period there were daily importa
tions of liquor and more drunkenness. This
can bo very easily explained by the fact that
Honor being somewhat more difficult to ob
tain when a man did strike n keg or a bottle
ho would endeavor to not let any bo wasted.
The writer , who by the way Is strictly tem
perate was shown over the town one night in
1SSS by QUO. who "know the ropes , " mid re-
moinbers vervdtstincUy Ids experience.
Iho first place visited was a certain dwell
ing house , and upon certain nips upon the
door we were admitted , conducted to a back
room where liquor was bolug dispensed to a
select body of men and boys , some of whom
were not supposed to bo drinking men.
The next place visited was a cellar whcro a
poker tnblo was In full operation and a keg
of beer on tap in the comer.
Prom there to a largo vacant building nt
somu distance from' the business center ,
when , niter stumbling through several rooms
In the dark , a match was struck , rovo.illng
thivo men stretched on tlo ) floor and on tables
as iloiid drunk aa men over were before ,
while several empty whisky bottles ami a
nearly drained beer keg explained the wlord
sight.Wo
Wo left this place thoroughly disgusted ,
( the house dy the way was the property of a
prominent prohibitionist ) und on returulug to
town i/assed u largo corn crib , where several
men were seen Inmentlnir the fact that u beer
keg which they bad hidden therein had mys
teriously dlsap | > cnred und they were gather
ing solace from n large , black botttle.
These are facts , anil are not complete facts
cither , for the writer was too disgusted to
proceed.
The first prohibition marshal was dis
charged for drunkenness , his successor was
unsuccessfully requested several times to arrest -
rest drunken rowdies who were disturbing
the residence portion of town , and finally
warrants were sworn out and served by con
stilblcH.
The license board of 1SSS met , heard remon
strances , granted two saloons licenses , met a
few times and then followed their prede
cessors by going to sleep , meeting at rare in
tervals when the weather was unlit for cro
quet or base ball , to disburse the $ ' . ' ,000 ob
tained from the saloons. In our police force
not much Improvement was made over 1S87 ,
and In the matter of streets and crossings
little advance was made. The two parties
had fallen Into the delusion that the grand
and only object In life was to meet after
election and obey the wishes of the electors
In granting mid refusing a saloon license.
However , at the close of 18S11. wo find busi
ness greatlv Improved notwithstanding the
advent of small towns all around us , not a
vaeunt business house or dwelling in town ,
two places where liquor may bo obtained and
compnmtlvolv little drunkenness.
The coming year will be closely watched
and noted. Its effects on real estate are al
ready felt , several pieces of property being
now offered at MO per cent less than they were
bold at two weeks ago , with no takers.
Our business men and all dependent on
country trade stand almost .solid for high
license , while the opnositlmi is composed
largely of bankers ( whoso harvest is hard
times ) , sentimentalists mid the class who do
not euro if ono farmer comes to town per
month and wish for the time whcn"cvcry day
will be Sunday.byoand bye , " Those are facts ,
cold , unsentimental facts , as anyone who will
take the trouble to Investigate can verify.

eminence iji the Platte valley ISM miles west
from Omaha on the Union Pacillo. railroad. It
has 200 inhabitants. It is the trading point
for a largo and thvifty farming community.
Ninety-live car loads of stock , grain and hay
were shipped from this station during the
llrst thrco weeks of March. Two thousand
tons of hay , MO head of horses and 2,500 head
of fat cattle have been shipped from hero
within the past year. The feed mill , running
day mid night , has furnished ! 250 tons of
ground feed per month for western markets.
One hundred and twenty-live thousand bush
els of corn have been bought here since last
October.
The bridge across the Platte three miles
south has been made free , the Union Pacific
railroad having paid off the fc,0X ! ( ) indebted
ness and turned the bridge over to the county.
This will materially increase Overtoil's trade
from Phelps county. Last summer Overtoil
built a line two-story brick school house at u
cost of over $1,000. A Methodist church is
nearly completed costing § 1,000. The Bap
tists also have n fjood church building. Brick
of good quality is made Just outside the vil

Tlic Outlook at Ouster City.
CusTKit CITV , S. D. , April 0. [ Special to
Tin : Bin : . ] Ouster's railroad prospects have
become an actuality. The B. & M. , through
Its agent , n few days since submitted to the
people of our city its demand for right-of-way
for its line from Dudley to this paint through
Ouster , and additional grounds for depot
facilities frco of charge to the railroad com
pany. At an enthusiastic meeting held in
Ouster City court house it was resolved to
acquiesce in the proposal of the railroad com
pany. Stops will bo taken to secure right-of-
way immediately. City bonds will probably
bo voted. Prominent railroad contractors ,
.lohn Fitzgerald and W. H. mid K. J. Kil-
patrick , have recently passed over tlip line
with a view to putting in bids for construc
tion or the line from Dudley to this city. The
bids will bo opened at Lincoln , Neb. , April 10 ,
when the entire contract for building the
road from Dudley to Ouster will bo awarded.

Dns Moixntf 'ft. , April 0.- [ Special to
Tin : Bnn.1 'IJhg' state board of health
Is having Its ' nUontlon called to a few
cases of Hnlfjaglous disease , under
rather pecullav . circumstances. At Dll-
lion there Was 'an ' epidemic of diph
theria , the schools were quarantined and Iho
school board announced that the teachers
could cither continue teaching or clbso their
schools. The teachers thought it
lictter to respect the onlcrs of
the Socnl board of health , und so
closed the schools , but demanded pay for the
rest of the term for which they were hired.
The school board refused to pay them , but
finally agreed to pay them one-half their
wages. The teachers refused the Offer , and
insisted that they were entitled to full pay ,
for they had been ready to keep their part of
the contract , and U was through no fault of
theirs that the schools were not In session.
They have brought suit In the district court
for their wages and the suit will soon be tried.
Another peculiar case Is at Anamosa. A
young man attending college was exposed to
the diphtheria contagion. His clothes were
sent homo for washing. A little girl played
around the woshtub and was exposed to the
infected steam arising from the clothes. She
was taken down with what the physician
called membraneous croup. Precautions were
not taken against the spread of the disease ,
and it spread. The whole number of cases
reported is now twelve , with four deaths , all ,
it Is thought , being duo to this original act of
carelessness.

income from liio writings. The state
niunt nt that tlmo seemed preposterous ,
for , lis shown in this column , there are
many American writers who make excel
lent incomes srotn their writings. Mr.
Egglcston now rises to explain , and after
roundly abusing the newspaper men fo/
their luck of brains , precision and
mental training , goes on to. bay that
what ho really did say was that "lie did
not know any author who has acquired
n competence by literary work , properly
so-callod. " This is certainly quite a
modification of the statement as lirst
quoted , but oven this is neb correct. "Mr.
Longfellow was a professor , " he says ,
"and made good investments. " But Mr.
Longfellow continued to write- for yeim >
after he ceased to occupy a chair at Har
vard college , and what "property ho left
was mainly acquired through his copy
rights. Mr. "WU.ittior . has certainly ac
quired what , iti for him a competence ,
and by his pen alone. Ho lives the life
of a quiet , elo nnt country gentleman ,
lias all ho ncuds and gives much in
charity.
"Mr. Howells ; " says Mr. Egflos < oi ,
"lias had , let us'Uope , a liberal editorial
salary. " But before Mr. IIowolls made
his present arrangement with Harper
Bros , ho had acquired by his writings a
sullicient competence to enable him to
own and occupy a mansion "on the
water side of 'Beacon street. " Mrs.
Stowo has certainly acquired a comforta
ble competence with her p n. Gen.
Wallace is popularly believed to have
made something from the sale of more
than ! 300,000 copies of "Ben Hur , " be
sides the incomojfrom his other books ,
although , perhaps , Mr. Kgglcston would
wish topluad ( Jl'rio-ral Wallace's salary
as minister to Turkey. To bo sure Mr.
Eggleston's general proposition is cor
rect , that letters is more poorly paid
than the other learned professions ; but
yet his statement is too sweeping.
The IjlTo-Snviiitf Services.
From 1871 dates the beginning of the
present life-saving service of the United
States , says a writer in the New England
Maga/.ine. The service was now ,
through the inlluenco of Hon. S. I. Kimball -
ball and lion. S. S. Cox , thoroughly or
ganized , and the stations manned of
ficered by those best Jilted for this per
ilous work. Men , strong , able-bodied ,
and accustomed to the sea , wore , tip-
pointed , rogardlt'hs of their political
views. Thus the little seed sown by
these men of Capo Cod , fostered by the
Massachusetts Humane Society , and by
the National Government , has con
tinued to grow , until it has developed
into this grand and noble work , extend
ing as it does along the coasts washed by
the Atlantic and 1'iicilie oceans , and the
shores of the great lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico. The total number of stations
in commission for the year ending Juno
J0 ! , 1889 , was 22-5 , 17I5 on the Atlantic
seaboard and Gulf coast , seven on the
Pacific slopes , forty-four on the borders
of the Great Lakes , and one at the Falls
of the Ohio river at Louisville , Ky.
The life-boats in general ur-o on the
Now Jersey coast arc llat-boltotned , and
the stern not as sharp us the stem.
Some are fitted with air-chambers , while
others are lilted with air tight copper
tanks at each end. The boats used on
the great lakes and Paeilio coast are
larger and more complicated in their
build , double-ended and deep , and sup
plied with two masts. They are , by
their peculiar construction , solf-bailirg
and self-righting , the former power ob
tained by a heavy false iron keel ; and
the hitler by the inside arrangement of
the boat , which consists of alr-chambors
placed along the sides and ends , re
lieving tubus and ballast , consisting of
a water-tight case packed with cork
placed at midships , and a seutllo at each
end to admit a free current of air under
the water-tight deck. Along the outside
of all lifeboats , attached to the gunwale ,
is a large roll ot cork , to make the boat
buoyant. In many cases to this roll of
cork are faKteneil'llfo-lines ' looped up in
festoons , to which' ' a person in the water
can cling. Some1' of the festoons nro
made HO long''that ' ' ono overboard can

ing career in the Edinburgh postolllce.
In 18(17 ( a young g/jiilleman / entorcd as a

department , says the London Truth. By
1871 he stood tjvwuty-third on the list of
general clerkstn'that olllco , with a sal

class was aHtalroj.'sovonlirsl-clasti clerks

this upper bectlon , and after a decent In

the young gentleman who composed it
became a principal clerk with a salary
of XoUO , By universal consent , this
youth was an individual of anything but
exceptional capacity , but ho waa a "so

A SAND HMiims ! : I.OOIO.

Years ago two Georgia attorneys were
traveling on hotvo on the "circuit" In
that stato. Their route lay across the
sandy hills that form tin.1 northern boun
dary of the Allanmlia , ono of the drcari-
icst streams in the world , says the New
York Herald. The hills about It are as
bare and desolate as the Arabian plains.
After this sweeping assertion it would
bo "surplusiago" to go any further. It
has boon said , however , thatyou "might
plant a Yankee- there and no wouldn't
grow , " which is more sweeping still. No
effort of industry or Ingenuity could
coax a blade of grass to rear its head
above the stcrilo soil.
It was a rainy , gloomy day when our
friends struck this benighted country ,
and after traveling many long miles
without booing sign of anything human ,
they were greatly rejoiced to discover
Hinoko gracefully ascending from the
chlmnoy of a cabin an III shapon , clum
sily constructed alTair , but neverthe
less a cabin.
The lawyers dismounted and entered.
A lire of pine-wood ( or "llghtwood" as
the vernacular goes ) bhr/.cd cheerily on
the hearth. In ono corner a baker's
dox.cn of yollow-faci'd children were hud
dled. On the only bed in the room rial a
woman , a tall guant female , with huge
bunches of uncombed red hair. On the
only slool the cabin boasted , before the
grateful lire- , the "lord of creation' ' sat
shivering under the malign Inilucnco of
a tertian .ague.
"Good morning , my friend , " said one
of the visitors , with his usual politeness
and urbanity.
"Mornin' , " was the laconic reply of
his host. The conversation which en
sued Approached a rather surprising
climax , when our friends lied precipi
tately.
"Fine situation you Jijvo : here , " re
sumed the man of law , blandlv.
"Fine h 1 ! What's it fine for ? "
"Why , I should suppose you would
line excellent sport here , hunting and
trapping. "
"Thcii ye'd s'poso a dang lie , stranger !
Ye culn'thunt 'cop'n' thar s somethin' to
hunt at , kin yo ? "
"No ; that's a very clear case ; I
thought , however , that being so near
the river .von could find plenty ot deer ,
Still , if it is not good hunting ground , it
is a line place for cattle raising. "
"She bo , bo she ? L'posin' the cattle
gits in the swamps en' the danged river
rises on 'em en' the cussed fools don't git
out ot the way en' git drownded ? Ho\v
yo goln' to raise 'cm then , hey ? "
"That is certainly very bad , " assented
the indefatigable attorney , "but there is
ono comfort luft for you. If you have
not the richest soil nor the beat hunting
ground nor the greenest pasturage , you
have what is bolter than a monarch's
diadem or the highest niche in Iho
temple of fame you have health ! "
"The douse I have , stranger ! Do yon
see them yallor complicated brats tlu-r

hain't they ? The old woman thar , now
hain't she got it down line ? 'En look at

don't you ? "
"Look here , my friend , answer mo

'this. If you can't get anything to grow

Tom Heed's Boyhood.
Mr. Reed's boyhood was not eventful.
Ho attended the city schools , and fitted
for 'college in the boys' high school ,
under Master Moses Lyford. As a
youth , he was quiet and studious , a good
scholar , and able to grasp ideas rather
more readily than his mates , says a
writer in the Row England Magazine.
He was fond of boyish sport * , and was
always a favorite with his young com
rades. Ho was nearly seventeen years
old when ho entered Bowdoiu college ;
and he graduated in 18(10 ( , just before ho
had attained his majority. Towards his
college expenses his father was able to
give him very little help , and ho con
sequently had to rely almost wholly on
his own resources. His classmates in
college speak of him as always an orig
inal fellow , with ideas ot his own , and by
no means slow to impart them to others.
In college , on several occasions , lie
showed llio qualities of a leader in a
marked degree. Ho was prominent in
the meetings of his class and in the de
bates of the literary societies. During
the first years ot _ his college course ho
paid less attention to Iho regular studios
than to general reading , devouring
whatever came in his way. In the last
two years that lie was at Brunswick he
changed considerably , devoting himself
entirely to his studies , and almost in-
inviiriably being ready with a perfect
recitation. Ho showed no special apti
tude for limthoinalies or the sciences ,
but evinced a strong liking for literature ,
philosophy and the languages.
Speaker Reed owes Ids success wholly
to his eminent ability , not to any apt
ness for polilicul miinnmvring. Ho has
few of Iho characteristics o [ a politician.
Ho is outspoken and lias , therefore ,
plenty of enemies , even in his own parly ,
but in tno light of his success they are
doubtless growing fewer. When asked
lately if lie thought his party would at
some' future da v run him for the presi
dency , ho is said to have mudo the char
acteristic1 reply , "They might do worse
and 1 think they will. "
> fr. Armoiir'H Dinner to HIM Assistants ,
When Mr. Armour's olTlco was on
Washington street several years after
Ihe lire ho inaugurated a custom ot
dining Iho heads of his departments in
ono of Kern's private rooms , says the
Chicago Tribune.
"I was passing through Kern's rooms
one afternoon about 2 o'clock , " said a
nmn who used to bo in politics , "when I
saw Mr. Armour and several others at a
table. I remarked to my guide that
pork would probably advance in the nexl
sixteen hours , meaning that the presence
of Mr. Armour and others at a dinner
at that hour was a conference on pork.
" 'You are mistaken , ' said Iho guide.
'Those gontlonidn are the heads of de
partments in Mr. Arinour'a'biisincss. It
is his custom every day to bring thorn
hero for dinner. It is a full course din
ner , too , and Is an oxpuiuilvu ono and
paid for by Mr. Armour. In the time of
its consumption there is no reference to
business. Stories are told and political
questions are often discussed. .lust at
this tlmo a discussion is going on Inthero
as to whether Carter Harrison ought to
bo re-elected mayor. Sometimes they
discus * religious matters and sometimes
literary topics. '
"Whether tlioso dinners are kept up
now I do not know. "

day and often the same number of times
during the evening. He made 1110 tired
and I mizzled my brain for a scheme to
gel rid of him , and the opportunity to
get even with him came at last.
"I knew thai ho waa a coward at , hear } ,
and I resolved to make him so afraid that
ho would rim out of my house and never
come in it again. The morning1 that I
referred to he cnme as usual and pre
sented his bill. I was busy in n room I
had H.ved up as a sort of 'den'as it were ,
and the landlady sent him in there to
Und me.
" 'Well , sir , wlr.il is it1 I asked as he
came in.
" 'I have come for Iho amount of my
bill , ' ho replied.
" 'And , ' said I calmly , 'I shall bo
obliged to tell you that I haven't the
neeessarj funds lo liquidate that bill. '
" 'Very well , sir , ' ho answered , 'Then
T shall bo obliged lo inform you that I
shall sit down here and wait until the
bill is paid. '
" 'Very good , ' said T , quietly , but to
toll the truth I was highly olaiod , for
hero was just the opportunity ! was look
ing for.
"Ho sat down and placed his hat upon
the table. When he had done this 1
called to Iho landlady and said : 'Mrs.
Hobbins , I am at homo to nobody today ,
and do not wish to bo disturbed under any
eircumslancus. You may couro in to
morrow and mail what lettero you lind
bore on my writing desk.1 Then T closed
and locked the door , and stripping tip
some billiard cloth I had I stuffed
it into every crack , leaving no
place where air could got into Iho roomer
or out. Then I drew up a long , legal-
looking document , which f labelled 'My

maker would sco , and after writing a
few notes I wont'to Iho chandelier and
turned on all four burners. All Iho
while previous to this Iho big shoemaker
no doubt thought that I was binding
him , but when I turned on the gas I
could boo that ho was beginning to feel
nervous.
"I arranged everything neatly in the
room and then sal down and calmly
waited for him lo weaken. The gas was
escaping rapidly , and Iho room was fasl
becoming tilled with it. I could feel my
head swim , bill I would not give in.
All of a sudden ho jumped up and cried ,
'I did not como hero to bo
murdered , ' and , making a rush ,
jumped through llio window ,
hiking sash and- all with him. It
was about twenty foot from the ground ,
bill when ho landed ho started off as if a
mad bull was after him and I never saw
him or his bill for I can't help if you
don't believe mo. It's the truth and if
you como up hero tomorrow I'll show
you the man hinibolf and you can ask

Tlio Childhood of Jonathan Kdivards.
Wo sco how Jonathan Edwards was
taught by his father to look upon men
as naturally very wicked , says Iho New
England Magazine. The lad saw Iho
opposition to his father ; ho board the
many quarrels in the surrounding
churches discussed ; bo beheld the sen
suality and drunkenness of Iho town ;
while ho noted the comparatively slight
moral effects of his father's fiery preach
ing ; and naturally ho came to
think the world a very
wicked place and the natural
man a very fiend. In that parsonage
homo , whore total depravity was used to
explain all actual and imaginary sins ,
where the comparative failure of a
gloomy theology was attributed to the
native , wickedness of the heart , what
could such a lad thliik except that men
are indeed by nature vile and mtbcrahlo
wretches11 ! And this gloom of Calvinism
which shndowod Jonathan Kdwards'
liovhood was intensified by the prevailing -
vailing mood ff feverish supersti
tion , fostered by the monotony
and hardships of that pioneer llfo and
by Iho constant fear of tbo Indians ,
whoso ravages Windsor Karmos foil for
many yearn. Tlioro Is no richer soil for
llio growth of miporstitlnim , than the
constant dread of the cnu-l redskins ,
under which those early settlers lived ,
a fact which has been too little taken
into account in treating of the delusions
of Now England : a fact , alco , which only
ihoso who have had oxperioneo in a sim
ilar situallon can fully appreciate.

A Civil AVar Volcran Draww a hcnf
Krom Ills Note liook.
Tlio army surgeon soon began to look upon
the men as machines. It washiilmslnoss toseo
that tin * , machine worked properly ; hut who
ever heard of a machine expressing opinions
or prescribing for Itself i says the Boston Tran
script. And not only ilid the surgeon look
upon the men us machines , but he regarded
them with suspicion , the belief UIIIOIIK the
medical staff being very general that the ob
ject and end of the soldier was to play siek
and shirk duty.
It is true that the surgeons had cattso
for suspicion. After a man has been
cheated half a dozen times it is the most
natural thing in llio world that ho should
sot down all men as swindlers. It was
remarkable how quickly the patriotic
lire became quenched in the bosom of
many a hero but a few weeks after leav
ing home with a heart beating with high
resolve to do or die. In loss than a
month after _ our fool kissed tbo
sacred soil of Virginia there were scores
of nii.Mi who appeared to bo in woftil
pain , but whoso illness was only put on ,
and put on , ton , in the most surprising
manner in many instances. There were
at least four or live men who were ,
ostensibly , unable to stand erect , and
tboy walked with slow and painful slops
every day from their quarters lo the sur
geon's , and from the surgeon's back again
to their quarters , livery one of thorn
got a discharge , and the discharge-
each case worked a sudden and radical
euro. Malingering , in fuel , won ) became
so common that not the surgeons alonex
but even llio mon not on the sick list
looked upon ( JVory form of di.oasn > ast ono
of many methods of "playing it. " I re
member when tlio first man died , the re
port was spread about ( he cam ] ) in this
apparently unfeeling form : "There is a
man up at the hospital playing dead. "
1 remember ono young fellow who affected -
foctod a Ktiff leg. which for months ho
dragged after him wherever bo wont ,
and once ho dragged it for a whole day's
march. This last foal was considered
proof of his disability. His discharge
was mudo out , and there scorned nothing
to stand bolween him and emancipation ,
but llio major of the regiment was sus
picious. The discharge was withheld
for a while , and , meeting Iho youth ,
who was towing his rigid limb as usual ,
llio major called out to him with as
sumed .severity : "Blank , if you don't ,
limber up that leg within twenty-four
hours I've given orders for the surgeon
to cut it off do you understand' ; " ' The
boy understood , and long before Iho
twenty-four hour's' grace had expired his
diseased leg was as good as its mate. It
is needless to sny ho didn't receive bin
discharge. In fact , a change oaini * over
the youngster from that moment. Jl > <
