Paris, Jan. 12.?The Rev. T. De
Witt TaImage, D. D., of Brooklyn,
preached in this city today. lie is
making his way home, which he exEcts
to reach in the early part of
ibruary. Dr. Talmage"s text was:
"Jehosheba. the daughter of King .Joram,
sister of AliazirJi, took Joa?h the
son of Ahaziah, and .scoie hiiu fr-^m
among the king's sons which w.-re
slain; and they hiu hhn, even Lim
and his nurse, in the b.xlchamoer
from Athaliah, so that be was ::ot
slain. And he was with her hid in
the house of the Lord six years."?II
Kings, xi, 2, 3. He suid:

their children's children than they
were with their own. At fo.-ty years of

grandmothei*, looking- upon the misbehavior
of the grandchild, is cpologjtic
and disposed to sub tiiuLe com'ectionery
for whip. There is n^ihing
more beautiful than this mellowing of
old age toward childhood. Grand mother
takes out her pocket handkerchief
and wipes her spectacles an ! puts them
on, ana looks down into the face of
her mischievous and rebellious descendant,
and says: "i don't think he
meant to do it; let him off this time;
I'll be responsible for his behavior in
the future." My mother, with Ii:e second
generation around her?a boisterous
crew?said one day: "[ supj.ose
they ought to he disciplined, bullc^a't
do it Grandmothers are not tit to
bring up grandchildren." i3ut here, in
my text, we have a grandmother of a
different hue.
THE RESCUE OF JO ASH.
I have within a few days been at
Jerusalem, where the occurrence of
the text took place, and the whole
scene came vividly before me while I
was going over the Lite of the ancient
tem$e and climbing the towers of the
king's palace. Here in the text it is
r>1f3 At.hsliah the cueenlv murderess.
She ought to have been honorable.
Her father was a king. Her husband
was a kin jr. Her son was u king. And
yet we find her plotting for the extermination
of the en tiro royal family,
including her own grandchildren.
The executioners' knives are sharpened.
The palace is red with the b-yod
of princes and prinevsses. On all shies
are shrieks, and hands thrown up. and
struggle, and deatii groan. 2\'o mercy!
"Kill! Kill! But while the ivory
ikttrs of the palace run with carnage,
aad the whole land is under the shadow
of a great horror, a Heet looted woman,

caped massacre, wraps it up tenderly
but in haste, snuggles it against lier,
flies down the palace stairs, her heart
in her throat lest she be discovered in
this Christian abuction. Get her out
of the way as quick as you can, for she
carries a precious burden, even a young
king. With this youthful prize she
presses into the room of the ancient
temple, the church of olden time, unwraps
the young king and puts him
down, sound asleep as he is, and unconscious
of the peril that has !>een
threatened; and there for six years he
is secreted in that church apartment.
Meanwhile old Athaiiaii smacks her
lips with satisfaction, and thinks that
all the royal family are dead.

now time for young Joash to cjtae
forth am?*iake the tin-one, and to push
disgrraco-CTiid deash <?ld-AthaPJPWrahT
The arrangements arc ail made
yy for poliiical revolution. The military
come i?iid take possession of the '.cmple,
swear loyalty to the boy Joash
and stand around"for his defense. See
the sharpened swords and she burnished
shields 1 Everything- is ready.
Now, Joash, half affrighted at the armed
tramp of his defenders, scared at
the vociferation of his admirers, is
brought forth in full regalia. The
scroll of authority is put in his hands, j
the coronet of government is pat on
his brow, and the people clapped, and
waved, and huzzaed, and trumpeted.
''What is that?"said Atha'iali. ""What
is that sound over in the temple?'1 And
she flies to see, and on Lor way they
meet her and say: "Why, haven't you
heard? You thought you had slain all
the royal family, but Jca.-.;h has come
to light." Then the queenly murderess,
frantic with rage, grabbed her
mantle and tore it totalis s, and cried
until she foamed at the moutii: iou
have no right to crown my grandson.
You have no right to t;.::o the government
from my shoulders. Treason!
Treason!" While she stood there crying
that, the military started lor her
arrest, and she took a short cut
though a back door of the temple, and
ran through the royal stables; but the
battle axes of the military fell on her
in the barn yard, and for many a day,
when the horses were bei.ig unloosed
from the chariot, after drawing out
yourg Joash, the licry rteeds would
snort and rear pacing the place, as
they smelt the place of tho carnage.
THE LORD WILL PRESERVE HIS S "ED.
The first thought I hand you from
this subject is that the extermination
of righteousness is an impossibility.
"When a woman is good, she is apt
to be very good, an-'! when she is bad,
she is apt to bo very I id, and this
Athaliah was one of the latter sort. She
would exterminate the last scion of
the house of David, through whom
Jesus was to come. There was plenty
of work for embalmers and undertakers.
She would clear the land of
all God fearing and God loving people.
She would put an end to everything
that could in anywise interfere
with her imperial criminality. She
folds her hands and says: ''The work is
done; it is completely done." Is it? In
the swaddling clothes of that church
apartment are wrapped the cause of
God, and the cause of good government
Thai is the scion of the house
of David; it is Joash. the Christian re*

it is Jou-h, the demolisner of Baalit;3h
idolatry. Rock him tenderly;
nursehim gently. Athaliah, you may
kill all the other children, but you
cannot kill him. Eternai defenses are
thrown all around him. and this
clergyman's wife, Jehosheba, will
snatch him up from the palace nursery,
and will run up and d .uvn wi.ix him
into the house of the Lord, and there
she will hide him for sue years, and
at the end of that time he will come
forth for your dethronement and obliteration.
Well, my friends, iutl as poor a
botch docs the wori'i always malce of
extinguishing righteousness. Superstition
rises up and says: "I v.-ill just
put an end to pure religion." Doniitian
slew forty thousand Christians,
Diocletian slew ei^ut hundred and
forty-four thousand Christians. And
the scythe of persecution has been
swung through all the ages, and the
iiames hisseel, and the guillotine \
chopped, and the loastile groaned; but '

THE IMPEIUSILXBI^BQIjL
Infidelity says: ^'I'll just exterminate
the Bible," and the Scriptures
were thrown into the street for the
mob to trample on, and they were
piled up in the public squares and set
on lire, and mountains of indignant
contempt were hurled on them, and
learned universities decreed the Bible
oui of existence. Thomas Paine said:
' J.n my 'Age of Reason' X have annihilated
the Scriptures. Your Washington
is a pusillanimous Christian,
but I am the foe of Bibles and of
churches.7' 0, how many assaults
upon that Word! All the hostilities
that have ever been crcated on earth
are not to bo compared with the hostilities
against that one book. Said
one man, in his infidel desperation,
to his wife: <;You must not be reading
that B^ble," and he snatched it
away frc ni her. And though in that
Bible was a lock of hair of the dead
child?the only child that God had
ever iriven them?he pitched the book
with its contents into tlio lire, and {
stirred it with the tongs, and spat on
it, and cursed it, and said: ''Susan,
never have any more of that damnable
stufr here!"
How many individual and organized
attempts have been made to exterminate
that Bible! Have they done it?
Have they exterminated the American
Bible society? Have they exterminated
the British and Foreign Bible society?
Have they exterminated the
thousands of Christian institutions,
whose only object it is to multiply
copies of ihe Scriptures, and throw
them broadcast around the world?
They have exterminated until instead
o: cne or two copies of the Bible in
our houses we have eight or ten, and
we pile them up in the corners of our
SsKiintb srbnol rooms, and send frreat
boxes of them everywhere. If they
get on as well as they are now going
on in the work of extern)ini.uou, I do
not know but that our children may
live to see the millennium! Yea,
if there should come a time of persecution
in which all the known Bibles
of the earth should be destroyed, all
these lamps of light that blaze in our
| pulpits and in our families extinguished?in
the very day that infidelity
and sin should be holding a
jubilee over the universal extinction,
| there would bo in some closet of a
backwoods church a secreted copy of
the Bible, and this Joash of eternal
literature would come out and come
up and take the throne, and the Athaliah
of infidelity and persecution would
lly out the back door of the palace,
one"! Vipj* rtavp.ass under
the hoofs of the horses of the king's
stables. You cannot exterminate
Christianity! You cannot kill Joash!
THE WE ATTEST ARM MAY SAVE.
The second thought I hand you from
my subject is, that there are opportunities
in which we may save royal
life. You know that profane history
is replete with stories of strangled
monarchs and of young princes who
have been put out of the way. Here
is the story of a young king saved.
How Jehosheba, the clergyman's wife,
must have trembled as she rushed into
the imperial nursery and snatched up
Joash. How she hushed him, lest by
his cry he hinder the escape. Fly with
him! Jehosheba, you hold in your
arms the cause of God and good govern
ment. Fail, and he is slain. Succeed,
and you turn the tide of iho
world's history in the right direction.
It seems as if between that young king
and his assassins there is nothing but
the frail arm of a woman. But why
iUUUH. v> (J spjuu VO.X Aix
this bravery of expedition when Goa
asks the some thing- of you and me?
All around us are the imperiled children
of a great King.
They are Lorn of Almighty parentage,
and will come to a tlirone or
a crown, if permitted. But sin, the
old Alhaliah, goes forth to the massacre.
. iurderous temptations are
out for tho assassination. Yalens, the
emperor, was told that there was
somebody in his realm who would
usurp his throne, and that the name
of the man who should be the usurper
would begin with the letters T. H. E.
0. D., aud the edict went forth from
the emperors throne: ''Kill everybody
whose name begins with T. H.
E. O. D." And hundreds and thousands
were slain, hoping by that massacre
to put an end to that one
usurper. But sin is more terrific in
its denunciation. It matters not how
you spell your name, you come under j
its knife, under its sword, under its
doom, unless there be some omnipotent
relief brought to the rescue. But,
blessed be God, there is such a thing
as delivering- a royal soul. "Who will
snatch away Joash?
This afternoon, in your Sabbath
school class, there will be a prince
of God?some one who may yet
reign as king forever before the
throne; there will be some one
in your class who has a corrupt
physical inheritance; there will
be someone in your class who has a
father and mother who do not know
how to pray; there will be some one
in your class who is destined to command
in church or state?some Cromwell
to dissolve a parliament, some
Beethoveu to touch the world's harp
strings, some John Howard to pour
fresh air into the lazaretto, some Florence
Nightingale to bandage the battle
wounds, some Miss Dix to soothe
the crazed brain, some John Frederick
Oberlin to educate the besotted, some
David Brainard to change the Indian's
war whoop to a Sabbath son^, some
John Wesley to marshal three-fourths i
of Christendom, some John Knox to
make queens turn pale, some Joash to
demolish idolatry and strike for the
kingdom of heaven.
THE PRINCES IN TEE CRADLE.
There are sleeping in your cradles
by night, there are playing in your
nurseries by day, imperial souls waiting
for dominion, and whichever side
the cradle they get out will decide the
destiny of empires. For each one of
those children sin and holiness contend?Athaliah
on the one side and Jehosheba
on the other. But I hear peo
pie say: "what's ttie use of bothering
children with religious instruction?
Let them grow* up and choose for
themselves. Don't interfere with their
volition." Suppose some one had said
to Jchosheba: "Don't interfere with
that young Joash. Let him grow up
and decide whether he likes the palace
or not. whether he wants to be king or
not. Don't disturb his volition." Jehosheba
knew right well that unless
that day the voud^ kins' "w"as rescued,
he would never T>; rescued at all.
I tell you, my friends, the reason
we don't reclaim all our children from
worldlings is because we begin too
late. Parents wait until their children
lie before they teach th rm the
value of truth. They wait until their
\ i : \ .--fAOM r4^ .AT* 4AAAM 4 h

tlic iiupoi lance of righteous conversation.
They wait until their children
are all wrapped up in this world befoi'e
they tell them of a better world.
Too late with your prayers. Too late
with your discipline. Too late with
your benediction. You put all care
upon your children between twelve
and eighteen. "Why do you not put
the chief care between four and nine?

The third thought I hand to you
from my text is that the church of God j
is a good hiding place. When Jehosheba
rushes into the nursery of the
king and picks up Joash, what shall
she do with him? Shall she take 1m
to some room in the palace? No; ^or
the oilicial desperadoes will hunt
through every nook and corner of that
building. SHall she take him to the
residence of some wealthy citizen ? No;
that -citizen would not dare to harbor
the fugitive. But she has to take him

mob in the streets; she hears the
shriek of the dying nobility; so she
rushes with Joash unto the room of
the temple, into the house of God, and
then she pats him down. She knows
that Athaliah and her wicked assassins
will not boiher tho temple a great
deal; they are not apt to go very much
to church, and so she sets down Joash
in the temple. There he will be hearing
the songs of the worshipers year
after year; there he will breathe the
odor of the golden censers; in that sacred
spot he will tarry, secreted until
the six years have passed, and he come
to enthronement.
Would God that we were as wise as
Jehosheba, and knew* that the church
of God is the best hiding place. Perhaps
our parents took us there in early
days; they snatched us away from the
world and hid us behind the baptismal
fonts and amid the Bibles and the
psalra books. 0, glorious inclosure!
We have been breathing the breath of
the golden censers all the time, and we
have seen the lamb on the altar and we
have handled the phials which are the
prayers of all saints, and we have
dwelt under the wings of the chei'ubim.
Glorious inclosure! When my
father and mother'died, and the property
'was settled up, there was hardly
anything left; but they endowed us
with a property worth more than any
earthly possession, because they hid us
in the temple. And when days of
temptation have come upon mv soul I
have gone there for shelter; and when
assaulted of sorrows, I have gone there
for comfort, and there I mean to live.
I want, like Joasli, to stay there until
coronation. I mean to be buried out
of the house of God.
0 men of the world outside there,
betrayed, caricatured and cheated of
the world, why. do you not come in
Liii. UU^xi WJO uiuauj UWA v*
Christian communion? I wish I could
act the part of Jehoslieba today, and
steal you away from your perils and
hide you in the temple. How few of
us appreciate the fact that the church
of God is a hiding place. There are
many people who put the church at so
low a mark that they begrudge it
everything, even the few dollars they
give*toward it. They make no sacrilices.
They dole a little out of their
surplusage. They pay their butcher's
bill, and they pay their doctors bill,
and they pay their landlord, and they
pay every ho&y ^rd, and they
come in at the last to pay JLord in
his church, and frown as tbey say:
"There, Lord, it. is; if you will have
it. take it?now take it. take it: send
me a. receipt in full, and don't bother
me soon again!"
seek godly society.
I tell you there is not more than one
man out of a thousand that appreciates
what the church-is. Where are
the souls thai put aside one-tenth for
Christian institutions ? one-tenth of
their income? Where arc those who,
having put aside that one-tenth, draw
upon it cheerfully? Why, it is pull,
and drag, and hold on, and grab, and
clutch; and giviDg is an affliction to
most people when it ought to be an exhilaration
and a rapture. Oh, that God
would remodel our souls on this subi'ect,
and that we might appreciate the
lousc of God as the great refuge. If
your children are to come up to lives
of virtue aud happiness, they will
come up under the shadow of the
church. If the church does not get
them the world will.
Ah, when you pass away?and it
will not be long before you do?when
you pass away it will be a satisfaction
rrair chilrlrpn in CThristian soni
ety. You want to have them sitting
at the holy sacraments. You want
them mingling' in Christian associations.
You would like to have them
die in the sacred precincts. When you
are on your dyiug bed, and your little
ones come up to take your last word,
and you look into their bewildered
faces, you will want to leave them
v*ter the church's benediction. I
.on't care how hard you are, that
is so. I said to a man of the
world: "Your son and daughter are
going to join our church next Sunday.
Have you any objections?"
"Bless you," he said, "objections? I
wish ali my children belonged to the
church. I don't attend to those matters
myself?I know I am very wicked
?but I am very glad the^ are going,
and I shall be there to see them. I am
very glad, sir; I am very glad. I want
them there." And so, though you
may have been wanderers from God,
and though you may have sometimes
caricatured the church of Jesus, it is
your great desire that your sons and
daughters should be standing all their
lives within this sacred inclosure.
More than that, you yourself will
want the church for a hiding place
when the mortgage is foreclosed; when
your daughter, just blooming into
womanhood, suddenly clasps her
hands in a slumber that knows no
waking; when gaunt trouble walks
through the parlor, and the sitting
room, and the dining hall, and the
nursery, you will want some shelter
from the tempest. Ah, some of you
have been run upon by misfortune
and trial; why do you not come into
the shelter? I said to a widowed mother
after she had buried her only son
?months after I said to her: "How
do you <ret along nowadavs?" "Oh,"
she replied, '*1 get along tolerably
well except when the sun
shines." I said: "What do you
mean by that?" when she said:
"I can't bear to see the sun shine; my
heart is so dark tnat all the brightness
of the natural world seems a mockery
to me." 0, darkened soul, 0, broken
hearted man. broken hearted woman,
why do you not come into the shelter?
I swing the door wide own. I swing
it from wall to wall. Come in! Come
in! You want a place where your
troubles shall be interpreted, where
your burdens shall be unstrapped,
where your tears shall be wiped away.

An Automatic Ssiviags Tiank.
A Liverpool man lias invented an
automatic savings lank. When a
penny or two halfpennies are pressed
intotiie automatic bank the depositor
pulls out a drawer and finds a printed
ticket bearing u number in duplicate.
He writes his name and address on the
ticket, which he then presses into a
cavity in the machine made to receive
it, keeping the other half with the corresponding
number. Thus, when
those in charge of the automatic bank
clear it of the tickets in order to enter
them in proper form in their books,
each depositor lias the duplicate of his
ticket bearing his name and address.
In this way absolute accuracy is obtained,
and depositors are credited
with the exact amount they have put
into the machine. Each machine is
capable of holding ?25 in pennies or
half pennies, the coins being received
in tubes, which arc so arranged ihat
any attempt to pass base coins would
bo very easily detected. No second
penny cuu be received by the machine
until the receipt for the first one has
been duly removed by the depositor, i

The farmers of the neighborhood of
Hiawatha, Kan., arc burning corn for
fuel, finding- it cheaper than coal.
Corn is sold on the farm for twenty
cents per bushel, while the average
price of coal delivered at the farm
ranges from twenty-one to twentythree
cents per bushel. The Farmers1
alliance brought the attention of the
farmers to tlfe relative prices of the
two commodities, and advised that
half the corn crop be used as fuel,
thus advancing the price of the other
half and saving money in their fuel
bills. The farmers have begun to act
on this advice.

Z. T. Devore, a Parkersburg (W. Va.)
merchant, owns a dog- of superior intelligence.
The dog goes to the store
with the mail every morning, and from
it takes the mail addressedto the private
residence to Mr. Devore's home.
Kothing can divert him while attending
to his duties as mail carrier, and
he never makes a mistake in taking
the letters to their proper direction.
Ever\- evening he sees to it that the
evening papers are taken to the house,
and if by chance the papers should be
missing, either by being1 blown away
by the wind or carried off by the boys,
the dog makes a raid into some neighbor's
yard and hypothecates a paper,
which he carries off home.
The Do.serrinjj Poor.
As superintendent of the Provident
association, which seeks to relieve the
distress of the worthy poor, I disagree
entirely with the great mass of matter
printed and preached about the mendicant
class. This is all to the effect
that hypocrisy and false pretense are
tho rule among the destitute. This I
deny. St. Louis has no mendicant
class, and the hardest part of our labor
is to hunt up and relieve the class
of poor whom our organization de
sires to benefit. The self respecting
poor man or poor woman in dozens of
instances that come under my notice
every winter shrinks from asking
alms until he or she has reached a
state of destitution, that is pitiable, and
which we never intend should be
reached. They sell everything that
will bring a coin before coming to us,
and then in tears and trembling.
Many of thenx, after awaiting for hours
to jjluck u]> courage to tell their sad
stories, would depart with the words ;
unsaid if we did not look for just sncli.'
people. We frequently issue reliei'
tickets, which are returned but half
used because the head of the famiiy
has found work, and desires not to wit
the bread of charity.? Rev. Edwacd
Flacli in St Louis Globe-Democrat.

A NEWSPAPER.
Yes, sir; I give it to you straight, or
I'm a Chinaman. Foolin*? No, no: I'm
not. I'm not one to fool; I drove a bob
tailed car too long for that! What with
the grot-Jiies that put their fares into the
kerosene lamp box and the crooks that
try to got ofT ^without paying at all,
and the old gents with principles
tliat make the driver come in and
collect "for I heir own good," and
the young ladies, that will stop to
kiss each other on the platform, and
the old ladies that are afraid to get
oil, and the boys that hitch on behind,
and the old gents that are going to write
to the papers, and the folks that want
twenty-dollar bills changed, and the
folks you run over, and the wagons that
run into you, I tell you a bob tail car
driver guts savage after awhile and don't
feel like fool in'.
I was savage thai day. There were
two folks in the ear?a man and a woman?and'.uly
one fare in the box. I'd
rung and I'd shouted, but neither of
them attended to me. I laid the missing
fare to the man because of his looks. He
was about as poverty stricken as I ever
saw. Not your laboring man's poverty.
A laborer out of work never looked like
that. It was tramp's rags this fellow
wore, and he had the hands of a tramp
too. Under their dirt a tramp's hands
are like the hands of a line gentleman?
same reason, he don't work. This man's
hands were clean, and his face wasn't
bad; but it was more likely he was trying
to beat me out of live cents than that
the lady was. And if ho was a tramp he
had money enough about him?they al
ways have?and after I'd done my best
from outbade, I stopped the car and went
to attend to him. Thy minute I got hi I
saw?what it seemed to me sort of queer
I hadn't noticed before?the lady was a
Sister of Charity. She wore a black bonnet
and veil, and a white thing under it
around her forehead and under her chin.
Her hands were crossed in her lap. She
was as holy and pure to look at as if
she'd been an angel. I looked at her, and
then I said to the man:
"I want your fare.'"
He looked at me?hungry eyes he had
?and says he: "I
paid five cents into your box?isn't
that right, driver?"
' All right, if you did it," said I.
Then I went down toward the lady. It
was my duty, but I found it hard to do.
I stood before her feeling as queer as
ever I did in all my life, and all I could
say was:
' Madam, slrali I take your fare?"
A * A or<?ju*Ai? -* ?> r* Knf 4- r\
OUU U1U uuu U.HO ?> ^/vmvvu w
a paper somebody had left upon the seat
?a common newspaper.
"Give it to him," I seemed to see her
6ay with her lips?and by "him" I saw
she meant the tramp.
Now, a paper left in the ear belonged
to me, and I'm a man with a temper,
and at my wages the price of a paper
was something; so, what do you think,
then, of my going and handing that
paper over to that tramp, as meek as
Moses?
"Hers," says I, poking it toward him.
"It isn't mine," says he.
But my eyes were on the sister all the
while.
"The lady says you must take it,"
says I.
Now, she hadn't said anything; she
had only lifted her hand.
"What lady?'' said the man, taking
the paper.
"The sister there," said L
Then all of a sudden, while I looked
at her. the seat the lady had been sitting
on was ei lpty! She hadn't got up on
her feet or moved. She just wasn't there
any more, and I got out to my horses
again as quid* as I couia. .uen ao go
out of their heads from overwork, I'm
told, and I began to think I was going
out of mine. I did not dare to look back
into the car until the man in?idc pulled
back the slide and spoke.
"Driver," he said, "give me your
name and residence."
"What for?" I asked.
"No harm," said he.
"Do you mean to try to get me into
trouble?"' I asked, knowing that there
were "spotters" about and making up
my mind that this was one in disguise.
"I .tried my best to get that lady's fare,
but I couldn't be rough to a sister."
"I saw no lady. What do I care about
the fares?" said the man. "If you give
me your name vou'll not be sorrv for it,
I think."
He spoke like a gentleman, for ail his
clothes.
"Oh, well, I'm not ashamed of my
name?it's Jim Brown. This car is No.
?, and if vou want me you can find
me!"
"A1J nri;'. he saici; ana 1 sow mac lie
fead f< ' paper qqm* ' was
fastening it up in his coat, pinning it
with a black headed pin.
At the next corner lie got off.
That night I went to Dr. , as kind
a man as ever lived. I knew he wouldn't
charye me for an opinion. I told him
my story.
"Now, doctor," I said, "if I'm Jooney,
out with it!"
"No, no, Jim," said he; "very sano
men have optical illusions now and
"I don't want any more of 'em," said
X. Collecting fares of optical illusions
don't pay."
"I should say not," said the doctor.
"But my opinion is that you turned
your baclc a minute and that the woman
got ofF without paying her fare. Probably
she was not a real Sister of Charity.
The city is full of frauds. She made
you take the paper to the man to give
herself a chance. See now?"
I didn't see: but what can you do
when folks are so sensible they can't believe
anything?
" "fwasn't like that?there she was
and there she wasn't," said I. "That's
how it was."
"If it happens a^ain. eome to me aad
I'll write you a prescription anil make
vou a present of it." sai<l the doctor.
So I tftanlred him Lindl" snct went
j away, and it didn't b;i.pj>en ngain. And

heard my name called.
i "You're wanted Jim." said some one..
; and I went out into the street, and the
man that had called me pointed to a
gentleman?about as line a looking one
as ever I knew?and he. the gentleman,
walked up to me.
'It's your dinner time. i.-:i't it?" said
he.
"Y<'S, sir." said I. "I've got a few
minutes left."
"Come along, then." said he. He
walked me into a restaurant close by the
stables, and sai?t: "C;t!l for what you
want," and I named i:. Then said he:
"You don't remember me, Jim Brown?"
"No. sir," said I.
"You gave me a paper about six
months ago,"' said he. "A newspaper.
I asked your name."
"Oh, oh!" said I. "Xo, sir, I didn't
know you. I begin to see the likeness,
but you?you"
"I know." said he. '"I was pretty

bless you, and took out of the breast
pocket a newspaper?"read that," he
said, pointing to where it was folded.
I read it. This is what it said:
"If Ferdinand Melrose will return
home all will be forgiven by his dying
father," and after that where he was tc
inquire for "further particulars."
"Well, I am Ferdinand Melrose," says
the gentleman. "The bkick .sheep of my
family. Long ago my stepmother made
mischief between my father and myself.
He forbade me his house, and I rather
went to the bad. No matter for my
story. Besides the fare you inquired
about I had only a bottle of laudanum in
my pocket. 1 was going to the Central
park to take it. I should have slept myself
out of life into eternity, and the city
would have seen to my funeral if you
nau not given mu luul x w
the place mentioned, and found, as I expected,
that money liad been left in a
lawyer's hands to take me homo. When
I got there I found that my stepmother
had been dead three years, and that my
father had been attacked by a disease
that must be fatal. We were reconciled,
and when he died I found myself a rich
man. I had kept Jim Brown's address,
and I feel that I owe him something."
"Nothing at all," says I. "The lady?
the sister?told me to give it to you."
"What lady?" said he.
"I'd like to know myself," said I, and
then I told him my story.
"It is strange," says he. "I could
swear that I was the only passenger
at the time. I felt so miserable and
so shabby that I purposely waited for
an empty car. And another thing is
strange, Jim Brown," said ho. "We
have a ghost in our family. A nun
is said to appear now and then, ill ways
to do good. And my father declared that
while he was ill she appeared to him
three times, always pointing to my portrait,
which hung in his bedroom, and
always conveying to him in some way
that it was his duty to search for me.
In fact, she was the cause of our reconciliation."
I couldn't say anything. Neither of
us spoke about the thing again; but
when he insisted on starting me in the
eating house line I wasn't fool enough to
refuse, and, as you see, I'm not a bobtail
car driver any longer.
No, I haven't seen anything queer
since that lime, and I can't say I'm anxious;
but whether the lady was a ghost,
or what the doctor called an optical delusion,
it's certain that she only did good
to all concerned. BI?ss her for coming!

JOURNALISM IN GERMANY.
Some of the Things Which Make it Hn>
morous for Outsiders.
An amusing side of journalism in
Germany comes to light when a nevrspaper
is confiscated by the government
for political reasons. That is,
it is amusing to people who have seen
the way the tiling is done?the owners
or publishers of the confiscated paper
don't look at the funny side of it The
first copy of every newspaper must be
sent to the "Staats An wait." or public
prosecutor, who is the censor of the
press. Herr Staats An wait, with the
press laws before liirn, carefully reads
the paper, while he sips his mug of
beer. Iiis eye suddenly lights on a
passage which criticises adversely an
action or a remark of the emperor.
He reads it through, and rereads it.
and begins to <ret mad.
"Donnerwetter noch ein mal," he
says. "That must be stopped."
'He hurriedly draws a blue pencil
line around the paragraph and steps
up to his telephone. He asks central
to connect him with the chief of police.
When this functionary is at the
other end of the 'phone, Mr. Staats
An wait orders him to send a squad of
police to the printer of the paper, forbid
its further publication, and seize
all the copies thereof he can lay his
hands on. The chief answers "Jawohl,"
and repeats the order to his assistant.
The assistant turns to his
"sub" and transmits it to him, who in
turn tells his 4'sub" what is wanted,
and finally, after a long delay, several
policemen start for the office of the paper
in a hired fiacre. In Germany,
when the police are engaged in any
special work, they do not ride in the
ordinary street cars, nor do they walk,
but they must hire a fiacre or a coach.
This adds sccrecy and dignity to the
affair. When the policemen enter the
publication office, they intimidate the
frightened foreman into handing over
all the copies he has in the place.
These are taken down stairs and
thrown into the fiacre. If there are
very many of them, another fiacre is
called. The printers must take the
objectionable matter from the forms,
and the police make "pi" of it.
Usually these officers bear a warrant
for the arrest of the editor. The
German editor has been there before,
however, and on the editorial page of
most papers, right under the terms to
subscribers, he keeps a name, say,
"Johann Schmidt, responsible editor."
And when there is any arresting to be
done the police must wreak their vengeance
on Herr Schmidt, who in most
cases is some petty writer on the paper.
When he isvin .jail for writing
something which he didn't write, the
paper pays him a good salary and
looks out for his family. The liberal
newspapers and socialistic publications
always keep a couple of responsible
editors on tap, and when number one
is in the lockup the name of number
two takes his place in the paper until,
through some trouble with the police,
number three begins his inning. This
functionary is called a sitz redakteur,
or seat editor. The seat refers
to bis sojourn in a dungeon. The
penalty of the law increases with each
offense, and after the unfortunate editor
has sat several times a new one is
appointed, who starts in with the mild- J
est punishment for the first offense.
The reai editor usually gets wind of j
the intended visit of the police and secretes
several copies of the publication, j
| When they arrive, and he has read
their lttter of authoritv. he hands over I
| the rest of the papers, which join their
companions in the fiacre. The officers

says:

The police scowl at the speaker and
march off the responsible editor. It

paper lias already been sent out and
distributed throughout the city, in
which case the police must travel
around and get hold of ail the copies
they can. They visit every reading
room and cafe in the city, and cut
the obnoxious paragraph out from paper
on the files. In "V ienna there are
TOO cafes, and one can imagine what
a job it is to visit each one and look
for the unfortunate newspaper.
While the police are going- the
rounds of the city, the editor is preparing
a second edition omitting the
article which provoked the wrath of
the Staats Anwalt. In the center of
the space this omission naturally creates
the word "Confiscated" is usuallv
inserted. A Berlin paper from which
a speech had been taken out, read in
the second edition:
"The speaker mounted the platform,
and began in a clear voice,
4 'Confiscated"
In Russia publications are confiscated
with greater regularity than
they are issued. At the frontier towns
the foreign newspaper mail is regularly
opened and read. When the officials
come across something which
the/ think would lower Russia in the
estimation of the reader, to say nothing
of political utterances, they have
a very effective method of doing away
with it. A roller, made for the puri
pose, is dipped in printer's ink and
carefully rubbed over the paragraph,
after which the paper is -wrapped and
sent on to its address. Many a Russian
reader of German and American publications
has received his paper bearing
the black mark. If the officials note
that some one person is repeatedly receiving
such forbidden articles, they
report the fact to St Petersburg, and
the person stands an unenviable show
for Siberia.?New York Sun.
THE AMERICAS.
Comparative Areas of tile Central and
South American Countries.
Central and South America embrace
an area a little greater than twice the
extent of country in the United States
and territories, and a poplation of
about 50,000,000, or about one-sixth
smaller than the population of the republic.
Mexico cover's an area just about
equal to that part of the United States
east of the Mississippi river, exclusive
of the states of Louisiana and Mississippi,
and has 10,000,000 inhabitants.
The five Central American repub
lies of Costa Kica, (juatemala, tLonduras,
Nicaragua and Salvador cover
an extent of country about the size of
the Gve states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan and Illinois,
and have a population equal to both
New York and Indiana.
Brazil's area is somewhat greater
than that of the United States, exclusive
of A laska, and her population is
about that of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with about
half the area of the United States, has
a population not quite as large as Pennsylvania.
Colombia is nearly equal in extent
to New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin, with a population probably a
little less than that of New York state.
Bolivia's territory is somewhat greater
than that of the Atlantic states,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan,
and has a population about Indiana's
figure.
Peru is a little larger than the At
Iantic states and Pennsylvania, and
her population is about that of Illinois.
Venezuela is larger than Peru by
about as much territory as is embraced
in New Jersey, and her population if
about equal to Indiana's.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New
York. Pennsvlvania, Michigan and II
linois, but her population is not quite
up to that of Siichigan alone.
Chili's domain cut up would make
states as extensive as Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana. Her populatior
is somewhat greater than that of Indiana.
Paraguay is big- enough to include
Ohio and New \ork within her bor
ders, but her entire population scarce
ly exceeds that of Cleveland.
Uraguav is not quite as large a;
Ohio and Indiana combined, and jtts'
about the same number of inhabitant:
as Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Guianas are English, FrencI
and Dutch colonies. British Guiana
twice as large as Ohio, has just abou'
the population of Cleveland. French
Guiana, somewhat larger than Ohio
has about as many inhabitants as To
ledo. Dutch Guiana, nearly as larg<
as Pennsylvania, has no more inhabi
tants than Columbus. ? Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Story of a Suit of Armor.
If the story related by a Parisiar
contemporary be true there is a mer
chant in the French capital who has
been singularly favored by capricious
Dame Fortune under rather curious
circumstances. The paper we refer tc
relates that recently a wealthy Paris
ian, a lover of antiquities and curiosi
ties, purchased of the said merchant a
suit of armor for the large sum of 300,'
OUO francs, or ?iz,uuu. iseiorc it cam<
into the possession of its present ownei
the suit of armor had had a remark
able career. It belonged originally,
it is stated, to Francois I, and fel
one day into the hands of M. d(
Rothschild, vrho bought it for 2,50(
francs, disposing of it later on ic
Lord Ashburnham "for 25,000 francs.
Years afterward the latter, in turn
sold it to a London dealer in curiosi
ties for 300,000 francs, he again pass
ing it on to an English millionaire foi
425.000 francs. "W hen the millionaire
it TTTcclnff nnnrinr?AH in f.Vtft miTlW
of a lumber room, and the Louse, be
ing afterward destroyed by fire, the eel
ebrated suit of armor was found amonc
the ruins and passed into the hands ol
a dealer in old iron. It was unearthec
in his shop not long ago by the Pari;
merchant, who bought it at a merely
nominal price and cleaned and restorec
it, after which he was lucky enougl
to find a purchaser willing to take ii
off his hands, as has been said, for th(
sum of ?12,000. So be did a remark
ably good stroke of business when h<
