J5@- As HammoQton is watching for the completion of the improved road from Berlin to this point, the following letter, written by IL I. Budd, State Commissioner of Public Roads to Walter Sordon, Freeholder from VVinslotv, will be interesting : -x I am decidedly opposed to improving, with Slate aid, the road from Berlin to Jlaaimonton by the way of Waterford. 1 am opposed to the construction of gravel roads, because I do not consider them permanent ones, opposed unless they can be very economically con- structed. The road in question is away from gravel beds, and. the cost of carting gravel long distances will make the ex- pense BOgreat as not to warrant its construction. Besides, the cost of main- tenance will always be great because a great deal of attention and frequent additions of fresh material will be neces- sary to keep it in order. The counjty will always be sorry if they undertake to build a gravel road under such con- ditions. The Blue Anchor Road is mostly nnderlaid with gravel, aud can be constructed so very cheaply that I do not see how there can be a question as to the propriety of improving that road. Unless I can be otherwise convinced, I shall withhold my approval from- the' Waterford Road, on the grounds that the State is not warranted in placing its money unless it will, with reasonable repairs, be a firm, smooth, und convenient roadway for travel at all setisoDB of the year. With this letter before them, the Cacpden County Freeholders voted in favor of the Waterford Road ; hence no progress in being made. It is hoped that the new Buard will accord with Urn Commissioner.

JQeglsIative deadlocks, like that which has for several weeks prevented the election of a United States Senator in Kentucky, constitute the strongest pos- sible argument in favor of the election of Senators by popular vote. There have been several such deadlocks during the past two or three years. The free traders of this country con- tend that in the matter of tariff duties the consumer pays the tax. The free traders of old England seem to have a different opinion. Out of 531 British .manufacturers who were asked the question whether they or the foreign consumers paid the duties levied by foreign countries upon their goods, 530 replied that they, the British manufac- turers and exporters, had to pay them. How will our American free traders reconcile this with their views '{ Mr. Cleveland says he is very well suited with the quiet life he is'livins; at Princeton. So is the country. Republicans are willing to divide with Democrats on the basis of taking the Fall elections and letting Democrats have those in the Spring. As the effect ot water poured on the roots of a tree is seen, aloft in its branchB3~aHa^ffuit7^i3crln~~the~next" world will bo seen the effects of good deeds performed here. Success always travels in the direction you are going; it cannot bo met, but must always be overtaken. Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them, and the evils of it boar patiently: for this day only is ours. We are dead to yesterday, aud wo arc not born to the morrow. Truth has nothing to foar from tho future. Money ia a queer thing. Without vocal organs, it always talks, and it can change hands without having arms. Reduced" Hates to New York via Pcnna. K.

J5@- As HammoQton is watching forthe completion of the improved roadfrom Berlin to this point, the followingletter, written by IL I. Budd, StateCommissioner of Public Roads to WalterSordon, Freeholder from VVinslotv, willbe interesting : -x

I am decidedly opposed to improving,with Slate aid, the road from Berlin toJlaaimonton by the way of Waterford.1 am opposed to the construction ofgravel roads, because I do not considerthem permanent ones, — opposed unlessthey can be very economically con-structed.

The road in question is away fromgravel beds, and. the cost of cartinggravel long distances will make the ex-pense BO great as not to warrant itsconstruction. Besides, the cost of main-tenance will always be great because agreat deal of attention and frequentadditions of fresh material will be neces-sary to keep it in order. The counjtywill always be sorry if they undertaketo build a gravel road under such con-ditions. The Blue Anchor Road ismostly nnderlaid with gravel, aud canbe constructed so very cheaply that I donot see how there can be a question asto the propriety of improving that road.

Unless I can be otherwise convinced,I shall withhold my approval from- the'Waterford Road, on the groundsthat the State is not warranted inplacing its money unless it will, withreasonable repairs, be a firm, smooth,und convenient roadway for travel atall setisoDB of the year.

With this letter before them, theCacpden County Freeholders voted infavor of the Waterford Road ; hence noprogress in being made. It is hopedthat the new Buard will accord withUrn Commissioner.

JOHN T. FjiTiNcrr, P..M.JQeglsIative deadlocks, like that which

has for several weeks prevented theelection of a United States Senator inKentucky, constitute the strongest pos-sible argument in favor of the electionof Senators by popular vote. Therehave been several such deadlocks duringthe past two or three years.

The free traders of this country con-tend that in the matter of tariff dutiesthe consumer pays the tax. The freetraders of old England seem to have adifferent opinion. Out of 531 British.manufacturers who were asked thequestion whether they or the foreignconsumers paid the duties levied byforeign countries upon their goods, 530replied that they, the British manufac-turers and exporters, had to pay them.How will our American free tradersreconcile this with their views '{

Mr. Cleveland says he is very wellsuited with the quiet life he is'livins; atPrinceton. So is the country.

Republicans are willing to divide withDemocrats on the basis of taking theFall elections and letting Democratshave those in the Spring.

Success always travels in the directionyou are going; it cannot bo met, butmust always be overtaken.

Enjoy the blessings of this day, ifGod sends them, and the evils of it boarpatiently: for this day only is ours.We are dead to yesterday, aud wo arcnot born to the morrow.

The legion Is always used for dan-gerous service in which the governmentdoes not wish to employ regular troops,as the men have no care for their lives.

JOKES FROM THE PENSVARIOUS HUMORISTS.

There are certain obstacles in every1'path that can be overcome only bythe presence of self-confidence. Thereare outward hindrances to encounter,opposition to meet, difficulties to sur-

, mount, prejudices to sweep away, thevery presence of which will terrify andappall the wavering and despondent,while they will melt away before thedignity of self-respect and self-reliance.There are also the innumerable ob-stacles from within, the Inclinations to•curb, passions to' restrain, desires toguide, temptations to resist; these alsoneed not only the power to deal withthem, but a confidence In that powerthat can alone make It effective.

John "W. Gates, president of the Chi-cago Iron and Steel Company, recentlydropped his pocket-book, containing,nine hundred dollars, In the dintog-room of the Hotel Waldorf, in NewYork. Two waiters found It and se-

—'creted the money, and when arraignedIn the police court, pleaded guilty anddelivered up their spoils. But whenMr. Gates wanted his money back, themagistrate refused to return It. "It IPnot so long ago," he said, "that one othe old justices was sued for five thoisand dollars for making such an ordeand,I am not going to lay myself liajjlto a suit for this money any time during five years. The money must b

• held until the case is tried."

Bubject; "Pr»y for Those In Author-ity."

TEST: "I exhort, thoreforp, that, first onil, auppHcationa. prayers, Intercessions andgiving of thanto bo made for all mtm. foikings nnd for all that are in authority."—1Timothy, 11,, 1.

That Which London is to England. Paris toFranco, BorJIn to Germany, Rome to Italy.Vienna to Austria, St. Petersburg to Russia,Washington Is to tho United States republic.The people who live here BOO more of thechief men of the Nation than nny who liveanywhere else between Atlantic and Pacificoceans. If a Senator or Member of theHouse) of Representatives or Supreme CourtJustice or Secretary of the Cabinet or repre-sentative of Foreign Nation enters n publicAssembly In uny other city, his comlne andgoing are remarked upon, and unusual'de-Forence Is paid to him. In this capital thereare so runny, political chieftains in ourohurchep, our streets, our halls, that theircoming and going make no excitement.

The Swiss seldom look up to the Matter-horn or Jungfrau or Mont Blanc, becausethose people are used to the- Alps. So we atthis capital are so accustomed to walk among

• mountains of official and political eminencethat they nre not to us a great novelty.Morning, noon and night we meet the giants.But there is no plaew on earth whore theImportance of the Paulino injunction toprav for those in eminent place ought .tobe better appreciated. At this time, whonour public men have before them tho rescueof our NatioLal Treasury from appalling de-ficits, and the Cuban truest IOD. and the arbi-tration question, and in many departmentsmen are tnl;ing important positions whichare to them now and untried, 1 would like toquote my text with a whole tonnage of em-phasis—words written by tho scarred mis-sionary to th» younc theologian Timothy."I exhort, therefore, that, first ot all. sup-plications, prayers, IntPnieypions aud^givingor\thanks be made for all men, for kings andfor all that ar« In authority."

If I have the time and do not forget fomoof them before I get through, I will givn youfour or five reasons why the people of theUnited States ought to mako earnest andcontinuous prayer for thof i!in eminent plttc?.

First, because that wi l l put us in pr-«perattitude towar.l the successful mon of th«Nation, Aftoryou have pr.'iycd for a munyou will do him jnsticc. There is a badstreak in human n:iture that demands us toassail those that ar«,more successful thanourselves. It shown list-It in boyhood, whentheladg, all running to get their ride on theback of a carriage, and one gets on, thosefalling to get on shout on the driver, "Cutbehind!" Unsuccessful men seldom, likethose who in imv department aro successful.The cry Is, "He is a political accident," or,'•He bought his way up." or, "It just hap-pened so," and there in an impatient wattingfor him to come down more rapidly than howent up.

The best cure for sui-h cynicism is priiyer.Af(or we have risen from our knees wo willbe wishing the official good Inftoad of evil.We will be hoping for him benediction nil hur

In tha i way w o m u y bn I n f l n l l n

of j do Tor r. un'-i Is to pray for him. ll thoold Blbio be true—and if It ia not true it has

_ bui.-u iHu only imposition, that e.ver blessedj ihu world, turning barbarism into civiliza-

tion and tyrannies into republics—I say, ifihn old B lile Le true, God imswert prayer.You may pet a letter and through forgetful-iitss or lacl; of time not answer it, but Godnever gets a genuine letter that he does notmako reply. Every genuine prayer is achild's lotter to his Heavenly Father, and howil l ant-wer it, and though you maygetmanyletters from your child before you respond»om« day you uiy: "There! I have receivedtra letters from mv daughter, nnd I will an-fiwer them all now nnd nt on'ie, nnd though

not in J8- .,.i<S' way that sho hopes for 1 wiAdo it In the best -way, and though she nskecime for a sheet ol music I will not give it tiher. for I do like tho mualc spoken of. but 1will send her a deed to a house nnd lot, tcbe hera forever." So God does not in alcases answer In the way those who sent theprayer hoped for, but He in all eases giveswhat Is asked for or something better. Soprayers, went up from the North and th«South at the time of our Civil War, and thejwero all answered nt Gettysburg. You cannot make me believe that God answereconly the Northern prayers, for there wenlust as devout prayers answered south .01Mason and Dixon's lino as north of it, nndGod gave what was asked for, or somethingns much more valuable as n house and lotare,worth more than a sheet of music. ThereIs not a good an Intelligent man between theQuit of Mexico and the St. Liwrence Rlvwrwho does not believe that God did the best(hing possible when He siood this NationJown la 1865 a glorious unity, never to berent until the waters of the Ohio and the S-.v-rannab, the Hudson and tha Alabama, aroicked up by the long, re I tongues of a world)n fire. Yea, God sometimes answers pray-)rs on a Inrge scale.

In worse Dredfeamont nntion never was:hnn the Israelltish nation on the banks of:he Red Sea, the rattling shields and thoJlattering hoofs of an overwhelming hostiloso after" them. An army could just asioslly wade through the Atlantic Ocean from<ew York to Liverpool as the Israeliteslould havo waded through the Rod Sea. Youleed to sail on its water to realize how bigt is. How was the crossing effected? By'.rayer. Exodus xiv.. 15: "And the Lordlaid unto Moses: -Wherefore wriest thouinto Mo? Speak unto tho children of Israel,hat thoy go forward"—that is, -'Stop pray-ni; and take the answer." And then thevater began to be agitnte;! and swung thisyay and that way, nnd tho ripple became nJillow. ajd the billow climbod other billows,md now they rise into walls of sapphire, andnvisible trowsls mason them into firmness,ind the walls become like mountains, toppedind turreted and domed with crags of erys-al, and God throws an Invisible chainiround the feet of those mountains, so thathey are obliged to stand still, and there,•ight before the Isrnelitlsh army, is a turn-pike road, with all the emerald gates swungivido open. The passing host did not evenjet the.r feet wet. Tney passed dry shod,:he bottom of the soa as hard as the psve-nen! of Pennsylvania avenue to New York'sBroadway or London's Strand. Oh, what aSod they had! Or I think I will change that»nd say, "What a God we have!"

What power puts It bands upon astron-jmy In Joshua's time and made the sun andnoon stand still? Joshua x., 12, ''Then spokefoshna unto the Lord," Prayer? As a gianttrill tnke two or four great globes, ani in as-tonndlnjrway swing theimhlB way~or that,"3r hold two of them nt arm's length, so theOmnipotent does as Ho will with the groatnrbs of worlds, with wheeling constellationsind circling galaxies, swinging easily stararound star, etnr tossed after star, or sunmil moon hold out at arm's length and per-fectly still, as in answer to Joshua's pr.iyer.To God the largest world is a pebble.

Another reafion why we should obey thoPaulino injunct ion of the text and pr.iy fora l l that aro la authority IB that no verymuch of our own prosperity and happinessnrn'involvod In their doings. A-solflsh rea-son, ynu say. Yes, but a righteous selfish-aw, Ilko that which leads you to take careof your own health- nnd preserve yourown life. Prosperous government means aprospcrouH people. Damaged governmentmeans a damaged poople. Wn all go uptogothur, or we all go down together.Whon we pray for our rulers, wo pray lor(Hireolvcs, for our home.i, for the cosier gain-Ing of a livelihood, for brtlor prospects forour children, for tho hurling of theso hardllaioe eo far down the embankment they canaovor climb up again.

HIS PASS CANCELED.

Ponto, the !>OR that Carried a StreetCar PUBS, Is Dead.

Ponto Is dead nnd several younghearts, and at least one older one, arethe sadder. He died quietly and peace-fully n few days ago and his obsequieswere more elaborate and Irapresslrethan usually attend the Interment of adog. For Fonto was a great, shaggybig Newfoundland, who loved to playwith children, was gentle with themand responded alike to carcases andblows with a friendly wag of his tall.He was faithful and forgiving In allthings and was the kind of dog which 'after death drew the following linesfi;om Byron:"To mark .a friend's remains, those

stones iipriue;I never knew but one, and here be-

lies."In one respect Fonto was the most

remarkable dog that ever gnawed abone, "bayed the moon" or dodged the

I dog catcher in Kansas City, ife wasi the owner of a street car pass which! entitled him to bid defiance to the boots•of all conductors and to ride at willall over the city on the Metropolitancable cars. It is doubtful if any otherdog in tht- world was similarly honored.And he was modest withal and did notair It over other less fortunate dog3.

How Fonto came to possess a pasawas like this: One clay two years agohis master boarded a car and Pontofollowed him. The conductor demurredand insisted that It was against therules of the company to transport dogs.He refused to even accept fare for thedog and ruthlessly thrust him from thecar. The master loved the dog as muchus the poor brute loved him and he also

...left the car. _He was an Intimate frieuilof General Manager R. J. McOarty, ofthe Metropolitan street railway, and tohim he went forthwith and stated theharah treatment the dog had receivedfrom the conductor.

"I will fix Unit," said Mr. McCarty,nnd he wrote a pass Instructing thatPonfo should-he passed on all trainson the Metropolitan street railway sys-tem. Ever wince that time Ponto haaridden on cable cars wi th hln master.When a conductor came around thomaster paid his own fare and present-ed n pans fur the dog.

I'oiito wa.s also a trained carrier andat the bidding-of his master wouldHtj i r t for home with an article In Illsmouth from any part of the city. Hosoenipil to know he was entitled toride tin the cable cars and frequentlyJumped tin om> of them when not Inthe company of hlw lunatcr, Many ofthe condiietoru knew the dog and hluright to ride was recognized.

About ten days ago Ponto became.Hlcli. lie Hank slowly unti l Wednes-day when hl« direct car pass was can-wiled by death.—Kansas Oily Star.

The late Abbo Wendllng, formerlyfirst vicar of the Paris church.

The abbe,iWbo was of athletic build, promptlyknocked down one of the soldiers, andtlie other two took to their lieels. WhenAbbe Wendllng confessed his act to theWshop, the latter seemed much annoy-ed. "I acted but In self-defense,"toaded the abbe.

On the 22d of September, 1778, oc-curred, off the coast of Scotland,thatunexampled sea-fight which gave totrie name of Paul Jones such wonder-ful eclat. Jones was a native of Scot-land and had followed the sea sincethe age of 32. He was for a whileengaged in the slave trade but left itIn disgust. He afterward accumu-lated a considerable -fortune in theWest India trade. At the beginningof the Revolution he was in Virginiaand at once entered the navy as alieutenant. To him Is given thehonor of displaying the flrst Ameri-can flag ever made. After a numberof successful cruises he was appointedto the command of the ship Duras.anold Indiaman converted into a shipof war.

Blinders confuse a horso at the mo-ment > of danger and Increases thechances of disaster. The animal whichIn on accident at Chicago .was hurledInto the rlvor by the trolley car worobllndera oad there IB good reason tobellevo that but for them Its life wouldnot have been sacrificed. It did not seothe car bearing It down from the rearmad wfcen the collision actually came. Ithad no chance of seeing how beat Itcould save its life. The Instinct of flelf-preservatlon Is as strong In a horee asIt Is in a man, and Its knowledge ofwhat course of action means safety Isgenerally surer. The house: was at-itacbed to a heavy delivery wagon,could not learn 0hnt force was Impel-'ling it to Ite doom, and, dazed' andblinded, was deprived of the use of theone power that might .have meant sal-vation. '

"Black Beauty," eeerof all horses anda teacher wbx>—and the personal rela-tive Is used advisedly—has taught need-ed lessons to horse-lovers the worldover. Is made by his human Interpreterto speak on just this phase of danger,though more especially In reference tothe night

"I consider," he says, "that blindersore dangerous things, especially in thenight. We horses can see much betterIn tbe dark than man can, and manyan accident would never have _hap-^penedlfTTdrBes might 'haveTad the ful l 'use of their eyes. I remember therewas a carriage with two horses retnrn-ng one dark night, and Just by the roadwhere the pond comes close the wheelswent too near the edge and the carriagewas overturned Into the water; bothhorses were drowned and the driverhardly escaped. If these horses hadnot been partially blinded they wouldof themselves have kept farther fromthe edge and no accident would havehappened. When our mnster'e carriagewas overturned not long ago it wasBald that if the lamp on tbe left sidehad not gone out the coachman wouldhave seen the great hole the roadmak-ors had left, and so be might, but If oldColin had not had blinders on he wouldhave seen It, lamp or no lamp, for howas far too knowing an old horee torun into danger. As It was he wasvery much hurt, the carriage wasbroken and how tbe coachman escapednobody knows,"

The conversation that follows Istaken from ^be Jx>okjJ31ack_Beauty^_and~thc pla~ce~Iira"pa8ture, with theuorses In conference:

"Can anyone tell me the use of blind-ers?" UB&CS Blnck Beauty.

"No," eald Sir Oliver, the hunter,shortly, "because they have no use."

"They ore supposed," said Justice,tbe cob. In his calm way, "to preventhorses from shying and starting nndgetting so frightened as to cause acci-dents."

"Then, what Is the reason they do notput them on riding horses, especiallyon ladles' horses V" Interjected BlackBeauty.

"There is no reason nt all," snld he,quietly, "except the fashion. They waythnt a home would he so frightened tosee the whcclH of his own cart or car-riage behind him t h a t he would boMire to run nway, though, of courae,when he Is ridden he neeti thorn allnbout him If tbe streets are crowded.I admit that they do noinetiniea comotoo close to be pleaHunt, but we don'trun nwny; wr are ustil to It, and If wenever Imd blinders put on wo nhotildnever want them; we nhoiild see whatlorn thero urn! linow what \viuj what,uml be much ICKH frightened tlmn byonly Nt'clng h l tM of things wo can't un-dci-Htnnd."

A LfFE STORV.

Ho IB too young to know It now,But some day ho will know.

^-Eugene Field.Above her little Bufforer'a bed.

With all a mother's grace.She stroked tho curly, throbbing bead

And smoothed the fevered face."He does not kaow my love, my fears,

My toil of heart and band;But some day in the after years,

Some day he'll uuderotand;Some day he'll knowI loved him so,

Some day Tie'll understand."

A wild lad playe his thoughtless partAs fits his childhood's lot,

And tramples on hia mother's heartOfttimes and knows it not.

Ha plays among hia noisy ma tea,Nor knows his truest friend;

Bis mother sighs, aa atill she waits,"Some day he'll comprehend;

The day will beWhen he will BCD.

Some day he'll comprehend."

The strong youth plays hia atrenuono part;Hia mother waits alone,

Aud soon he finds another heartThe mate unto hia own.

She gives him up in joy an4 woe,Ho takes hia young bride's hand;

His mother murmurs, "Will he knowAnd ever understand?

When will be knowI lore him so;

When will he understand?"

The strong man fights bis buttling days,Tbo fight is bard and grim,

Hia mother's plain, old-fashioned wayo'Have little charm for him.

Tho dimness fulls around her years.The shadows, 'round ber stand.

She mourns in loneliness and tears,"He'll never understand.

He'll never knowI loved him so;

Ho'H never understand."

A bearded man of eerlous yearnBends down above the dead.

And rains the tribute of his teamOver an old, gray head.

Ho stands the open grave above,Amid the mourning bands;

And uow he knows his mother's love ,And now be underatunds.

Now doth he knowShe lorcd him so,

And now he understands.—Sam Walter Foss, in New York Sun.

A BOLD, BAD BURGLAR

"Isn't It perfectly dreadful? It seemsthore Is no place secure from them. Thepapers contain nothlnjj but burglaries,n>tibertes and hold-ups. I am almostafraid to look under the lied at night."

Blanche Warden turned the rings onher fingers nervously as she spoke. Shewas not a timid girl, but the flnnl teatof bravery had never come to her.

"What would you do in case a burg-lar entered your room, Mr. Dulauo?"ubo asked, addressing ono of her call-ers,

"lUinctly what I did last night,", thegentleman replied.

"You surely didn't havo a burglarlast night!" Blanche cried.

"And why not? I am keeping thoaffair quiet hocuuso I have a clew thatla being followed up. Of course It willbo safe to mention It here," UuluuuTejiUed.

"To be auro. Do tell ua about It,"tho j;lrl fluid, eagerly.

"It must have boon about 2:30 o'clockthis morning when I was aroused byaomeone turning a key lu tho door thatcommunicates with the adjolnlug room.I'm pretty stupid when I llrst awaken,but I was HOOU aroused to full c.on-iidinmueM by something cold againstiny templn."

"Oh, how droAdful!" Blanche cried,atilvorlng.

"That wasn't tho dreadful part," Du-limo luughad. "Tho part I object moatto In what followed. The fellow heldlilu i(im calmly with one liniul whllo howent through my elotheu auil helpedlilmndf to my wntcb, my diamondicarf pin mid all my ready money."

but Art'Jur coattauca restless andeasy. He stood at ..the window andsang. As Dulana tuVned the music forher, ho whispered aeftly:

"Slip Into the library for a momentI have something Important to say toyou." Then he said aloud: "I think Ishall take a smoke In the library, If 1may be excused."

When ho had loft the room Blanchewalked over to the deep'bay windownnd Inirl her hand gently on Arthur'sarm. "What makes you so silent misevening, dear?" she asked tenderly.

"Oh, Blanche, I hate that Dulaoo. Isuppose I am Jealous, but I wish youwouldn't have him banging aroundhere," he exclaimed, while bis hand-some face crimsoned.

"But, Arthur, you brought him horobefore you ever spoke of love to me.Surely, yoM aro not afraid of him nowthat you have my promise?" tho girlsaid seriously.

."No, deareat, I do not doubt yon. Vfelt sorry for him—a atrangar thero atthe boarding-house. And, bealden, Iwanted him to meet the sweetest wom-an In St. Louis," be whispered, aa bepressed juat the suggestion of a Uloaon her cheek.

"B/ the way, I'll go and hunt ap thatHarpar for you, dear," she said, withan effort at spontaneity that was notaltogether a success. Then she left thodrawln0-room, walked half way up thestairs, descended softly and Slipped in-to the library. Dulano was at her aideIn an instant.

"I'm sorry you spoke of the Jewelsand things," he said.. "I have reasonto think Forrest 10 the burglar. He hasbeen loalug heavily at cards lately, andIs In danger of losing bis position at thebank," he whispered hurriedly.

At the mention of Arthur's nameBlanche would have cried out, but theman placed his fingers deftly over berllpo. Aa soon as the speech was endedshe fled to her room, bunted up themagazine and returned to the drawing-room.

Tho two men were glaring at eachother In angry silence when she en-tered.

"This call promises to be a game offreezeout, so I guess I will leave andgive you u chance to help Miss Wardenput away the silver," Mr. Dulano soldIn a faintly sarcastic tone to Forrest.

"If Hiss Warden desires my help 1shall certainly remain," Arthur saidangrily."'•"I ahall require no assistance what-over." the girl said, haughtily, andjthatwo men departed together. For som«minutes she sat In the dressing-room,sad and sore. Arthur Forrest, a gam-bler, perhaps a burglar! No, It couldnot be. And yet why hnd he been somoody of late? Her heart was sore,and, with no thought of the valuablesIn the house, aho dragged herself tobed. The night woro on and sleep camenot. Tim clock waa Just striking thehour of 3 when the door opened slow-ly, and she could see the shadowy out-lino of a man. For a moment she wasparalyzed with terror. The scream that,started from her heart lost Itself sonao-whoro In her throat. A thousand aw-ful fancies chased each other throughher mind as the man advanced to thebed. Than she thought of tho revolverthat she bad Intended to put under betpillow, Alas, It wan peacefully rnpoa-Ing on thu dressing-table In her fathor'aroom. The man waa tall and wore ablack mask. He must i)u tho same onowho had visited Mr. Dulfftio and Ar-thur the night before. I'erlmpu It waaArthur. At tho thought of her lovertho blood went coursing through herbody, und, to her astonishment, aho(omul Unit she wuu calm.

"Aro you awake?" the burglar whlu-pored, aud lilu voice Hounded strangelyfamiliar.

''Yes," she tmld faintly."Then get up. Don't be afraid. I am

not going to burp you. [ only wanttho family Juivuln. Tulio mo to wherothey are kept," he whlapored agnlu.

"How did you escape? I thought theouter door was locked," she said, as sherepelled his touch.

"Escape!" the young man cried. In as-tonishment. '"I have been followinghim since midnight. One of. my men,who was left here to guai'oTthe house,tells me that he entered this windowten minutes ago.

"What do you mean by that, dear-est?" the lover asked.

DATING FEATS OF A DIVER.

Kacapo from D«ath WlillO Er-plorins a Sunken Ship.

One diver crippled for life, anothermade a raving lunatic, and atill anotherescaping death by a mere shave—thaft!ls tho record up to date of the effort torecover the treasure on the sunkensteamship Skyro.

The Skyro, bound from Cairthagonabo London, struck on tho Melxlddo reefand sank in twenty-eight fathoms, lowwater. The Melriddo reef Is on thecoast of Spain, nine miles south of GapeFlnlaterre.

Tho accident occurred In 1801, and Itwaa not until four ycikr^ later, May,1805, that any attempt was made to re-cover tho valuable cargo which thetrnikon atoom&lilp contained, Hie mosterupting part of which consisted ofslgh-ty-elght ba.ro of silver, vnlued atf45,000.

How the Lantern Was Invented.King Alfred the Great la credited

with originating tho lantern. He waaso bothered by the candle flames blow-Ing in the wind that he protected themby putting the candles in cow-horns,which he ordered to be scraped rhln.Our grandfathers made Ian/terns bypunching boles and stlta in properlyshaped plecos oi Un, which were thensoldered together. The light wuiclicame through the little cute was al-ways very dim and flickering. It waathis kdnd of lantern which the old townwatchmen used to carry when theywent about calling the , hours and th«weather In rhyme:" "Tla one o' the clock— midnight is past,Sleep on, good 'friends, tbe time tbou hast,For rise yo must at early dawa;'Tis one a* the clock and Tuesday mom."

Enolor than Arithmetic.It Is easier to remember things usu-

ally if you know what they mean. Alittle boy could never remember evenabout how long a cubit la until his fath-er told hl-m the word was cublrus inLatin, which means an elho-w, and thatthe measure called cubit was the dis-tance from a man's elbow to the end olhis middle finger.

"And how much Is a fathom?" askedthe little boy.

"Oh, fathom comes from the twoworda, fat,1 which means In the Aryanlanguage, to extend, and 'horn,' a man.A fatiwcm la the length of a man ex-tended; that Is, when his arms artstretched out on each side from th€shoulders, from tip to tip of his fingers.

The foot is an English word, andmeans Joat.the length of the foot of a

Indians Not Allowed to Vote.The. expression "Indians not taxed"

refers to tho Indians In their tribal re-latlous. Tribal Indians are not allow-ed to vote because they are not taxed,and are the wards of the Government,rather than citizens of- the country.The "Government considers them as itsproteges, whom it must protect. Whenthe tribal relations of the Indians aredissolved and their land is dividedamong them, to be held by individualsrather than by tribes. It Is almost cer-tain that provision will be made forthem as citizens, and that, being land-owners and taxpayers, they will be en-titled to and will receive all the righto

The First American Flag.-A well-known authority on American

curios says: "The flrst resemblanceto a flag was the work of BenjaminFranklin and Messrs. Harrison ncdLynch. They were chosen as a com-mittee to create a national flag, &odadopted the King's colors as a union,reunited with thirteen stripes, alternatered and white; showing that, althoughthe colonies united for defense againstEngland's tyrannyr ther atlU acknowl-edged her sovereignty." On Tuesday,Jan. 2, 17T(t, this flag was, hoisted Incamp at Cambridge, Mass., now Somer-ville, receiving a salute of thirteenguns and thirteen cheers. The nrs*American-made flag was hoisted ovetthe capitol at Washington Feb. 24,1806, all previous flags having been•uanufactured from English bunting.

Dedication of Grant's Tomb.In ftiverside ParV, the pride of New

York, and probably the most beautiful

and picturesque appVf^ltjng the Hudson

River, will be wltn&tfsed, next Tuesday,

April 27tb, one of thd greatest civic andmilitary displays In the history of the

world. The demonstration on land will

be accentuated by fl naval display on

the river, 130 feet below, the like ot

which has seldom been seen in any partof the world. '

Ou that day, the seventy-fifth anni-

versary of the birth df General and ex-

President Ulysses S. Grant, the magald-ceuTTSeW mausoleum erected to perpet-

uate the memory' of the great union

general will be dedicated.

It has taken twelve years to bringabout the erection of a tomb for the

soldier-statesman that would be accept-

ed as a fitting acknowledgement of a

nation's debt to a nation's hero. The

magnificence of the pile in Bivereide

Park Is a sufficient answer to the cyni-

cal. ~ One Republic, id one instance at

least, has proved' itself not ungrateful,

and all the world ia expected to bearwitness to the consummation of theproof next Tuesday.

It is expected that Pres't McKinloy,

Vice-Prcsident Hobartt Speaker Beed,

the Governors of alt the States, therepresentatives of every foreign nation

at Washington, the U. 8. Senate, the

House of Representatives, the tilate

Legislatures, heads',;of principal publicorganizations of every character in tbe

United States, nil! participate in the

dedicatory ceremonies. £/ew York will

give herself up entirely to the event.

All business will be suspended. Tbe

Federal troops, thu National Guard

from a score of States, the North Atlan-

tic squadron, with many vessels from

the navies of other nations, will join in

the demonstration. Tbo.se in chargefeel sate ia eayinir tbdt more itiau'a'

quarter ot a million4 mon, including

upiuids of thy soldiors who followed

Gruut to victory thirty-two years ago,

will muicb in the graud parade. It isbelieved there will • bo several hundred

tlioupaud people at the dedication, to

accommodate whom, It lortuuatoly bap-

puns, ample Btundtug room is available

about tho tomb.

Thu now Grant tomb has been built

at a cost of $600,OdO. It laeeit to thu

south, und aiiimls directly in front ol

tho temporary brick tomb in which tho

roaialim of Uon. Grant wero placed

tween squares on tbe plane of the fitce

of the arches and the circular domeform pendatives, which are decorated

in high relief sculpture, being emblem-

atic of the birth, military and civil lifeand death of Grant.

The body of-the -General will lie in ared porphyry sarcophagus, placed in a

crypt directly beneath the centre of thedome aud a few feet below the main

floor. The cryp t can bo reached by astairway placed in tbe northern arm of

the cross, giving tbe public access to a

passage encircling tbe space dedicated

to the sarcophagus, which space is sur-

rounded by square columns supporting

panelled marble ceilings and entabla-

tures, opening through the principal

floor and protected by a parapet, dvinga clear opening to the top of tbe dome

and an unobstructed view of tbe sar-

cophagus from the main and galleryfloors'. i

That part of the interior which is

within reach of visitors is polished mar-ble, to prevent marking or vandalism.

The movement for tbe erection of asubstantial monument in Gen. Grant's

honor took shape early in 1886, when a

committee was appointed, various plans

for raising money were adopted, andtbe designs submitted. The receipts

were small, and tbe project came to a

stand-still in 1887. It was revived in

tbe next year, and the sum increased to$140,000 in 1890.

In '91 began the determined effort tocarry the project through, led by Gen.

Horace Porter. All business, socialand political interests in New York

_were_appealed-to,--art-Collection8-were

sold, college men gave entertainments,and war allegories were given in its aid.

Ministers preached on the subject, and,as a result, the project promised to be

a success. The corner-stone was laid by

President Harrison on April 2ft, 1802,oinco which time the.work baa gone

steadily onward without interruption.
