There is a s:eoe ot horror and auyuish from which we turn away. Now yea see the full n:eaning of ray short lest, "The mother j1 oisera ; looked cut at a window." Weil, my I f-ipi ds. we die all cut iu the battle oi life. It is racing now, and the most cf j us have a mother watching and waiting: j for news oi our victory or defeat. If she be not silling at the window of earth, she is sitting at a window of hea en, and she is zo\r.g to hear all about it. By all the rules cf war bisera ought to have been triumphant. He had 900 iron chariots and a host of many thousands vaster than the armies of Isreal. But God was on the other side, and the angry freshets af Kishen, and the hail, the lightning, and the unmanagable war horses, and the capsizcd chariots, and .1 J! en ? ihe sienar pa^ic :a xne ssy cisconmtea Sisera. Jcsephus ia bis history describes the Sitene iu the following words: ''When thoy wer* come to a c'03e fight, there came down from hoavtn a great storm with a vast quantity of rain and hail, aad the wiad bisw the rain in the lace ot the Cauaanites and so darkened their eyes their arrows and slings were of no advantage io thsm, nor would th3 coldness oi the uir permit the ^ soldiers to make u?e ci their swords, _ while this storm di-1 not so much incomi^cdc tie Isrealites because it came o*i their backs. Tcsy aiso took such courage upon the apprehension hat God wa? assisting them that thev fell upon the very midst ot their enemies and sic a- a great number ot tt:em, so that some of thera fell by tbe Isrealites, some fell by their cvra horses which were put ict) disorder, and not a few were killed by their own chariots." Hence, my hearers, the bad news brought to the mother of tfisera looking out at the window. And our mother, whether sitting at a window of earth or a window ot htaven, will hear tbe news of our victory or defeat, not according to our talents or educational equipmedt or our opportunities, but according as to whether God is icr us or against us. "Where's mother?" is the question most, frequently a-ked in many households. I: is a kt-c c.y the husband us weli as the chilu' coming in at nightfall, "Where's mother?" It is asked by the little ones w hen they get hurt and come crying with the pain,"Ware's mother?" It is a>kec by those who have seen some grand siaht. or heard some good news or receive! some beautiful gift, "Wherd's muiher ?"' She sometimes iVJs wearied by the qusstion, tor They u>l <-ik it and keep asking it all the t'.aie. She is not only the lira*, to hrar e\>ry case of perplexity, but she is the judge in every court of domestic appeal, i hat is what p-;ts the premature wrinkles on so many maternal facts aud powders white so many usatemal foreheads. Yen see ic is a question That keeps on for all the year of childhood. 1: comes from the nursery, and fiuai 'he evening st-ina whtre the I'oys =.nd giils are learning their school lesson, and from the starting out m tiie morning, when the tip pet or bat or -! .u* cr book or overshoe ie .mi'" r jj-nr k'.I out of breath. the voudss>?:s in aud sbout until you c^u hear t.1 trn fr:">iu ced^r to garret and from irost dcor to the back fence of the back \ aid, "Where's mother?" Indeed ;i eh lid's life :s so full of that question tba: u hi1 be taken away one of tlie th'nii-s that the mother most misses ai*u Hie sdence that most oppresses her is tr.e absence of that question, which she v. :ll i;ev<: hear on earth again except she hears it in a dream wunu nuts rt-s Ji f luc uuian? i just as it was, and ilitti the voice comes I back so D-ituni!, and so sweti, and so inquiries that the cream breaks at the J words, Where's motherV" If that question were put to most of us this morning we would have to say if we sposetrathfuliv, lik?- Sisera's mother, she is at the palace window. She has become a uueen untoGxl forever and she is pulling back the rich folds of tne king's upholstery to look down at us. We are not told the particulars about the residence of Slsera's mother bnt U crtls in that rcer.e in the book of j i Juiis^s so rn.Kh about era broideries > and riftfjfcwcrk and Indies in w^it'n? ? ha* we know her residence must bave ] tjf-en pncol; and solatia!. f ?'o *>ve h<vc no minute and particular i description of the palace at wuose win c dew our glorified mother sits, but there c is so much in the closing chapt?-r-< of the good old book about crowns and { pearls big enough co make a gate out ! of one of them, new songs and marri- ( age suppers, and harps, and white i horses with kings in the stirrups, and ; golden c&Ed't-sticks that we know the ] heavenly residence of our mother is su- ? perb, is unique, is colonnade!, is domed, is emDowered, is fountained. is glorified * beyond the power of pencil or pen or ; } tongue to present, and in the wtndow. i of that palace the mother sits watch i ing for news from the battle. i i What a contrast between that celes tia! surrcuDdinsr and her once earthly surroundings! What a work to bring up a family in the old time way, with but little or no hired help, except perhaps for the washing day or for the swine slaughtering, " commonly called "the killing" day!" There was then no reading of elaborate treatises on the best modes of rearing children and then leaving it all to hired help, with one or two visits a day to the nursery to see if the principles announced are being carried out. The most of those old roiks did the sewing, the washing, the mending, darning the patching, the millinery, the mactua making, the housekeep'ng and in hurried harvest time he*ipea spread the bay cr tread down th3 load in the mow. They were at the same time caterers, i tailors, doctors, chaplains and nurses ! : for a whole household ail together down ! with measles or scarlet fever, or round the house with whooping coughs and croups aDd runround fingers end earaches and all the infantile discern pers which at some ti;ue swoop upon every lar^e household. Some of those i mothers never got rested in this world, instead of the self rocking cradles of our nay, which, wound tip, will go hour after hour for me solace of the youcg slumberer, it was weary foot on the rocker sometimes half the day or half the night?rock?rock?rock?rock. Iastead of our drug stores filled with all the wonders of materia medica and called up through a telephone, with them the on!v apothecary short of foui miies' ride was the garret, with its bunches of pepperment and pennyroyd and catnip aLd mustard and camomile flowers, which were expected to du everything. Just think of it! Fifty years of preparing breakfasr, drauer and supper The chief music they heard was that of spinning wheel and rocking (-hair, lagged out; headachy and with ankles swollen. Those old f-istiioned moffiwrs?if any persons ever fitted appropria ely into a good, easy, comfortable heaven they w<-re the roiKs, ar u ' ney goz inert-, aou mey are restn. rhey wear no spect-icl^s, for they have their third sight?:ts :he> lived lor;g enogh on earth ;o gee their second sight?.tad they do L-ot have to paist fur breath afi>r guiue: up the emeraid stairs of the E'trnal palace, at whose window they now sit waiting tor news from the battle. l>ac it' any one keeps on asking the questson,''Where's motherV" I answer, sh^ is in your present character. The probability is that vour physical features suagrst her. If there be seven childr^p in a household, at l-*ast six of 1 them look )ike their mother, and the o)d^r\ouset the more vuu will look Ji&e her. I3ut I speak now especially of }Our character and not of your looks. This is easily explained. During : the lirst ten years of your lite you were ; almost ali the time with her, and your father you saw only mornings and nights. There are no years in any life so important for impression as the lirst : 10. Then and there is the iuDDression 1 ncade for virtue or vice, for truth or falsehood, for bravery or cowardice for religion or skepticism. Suddenly start out from behind a door and frighten the child, and you : may shatter his nervous system for a lifetime. During the first 10 years you can tell him enough spook stories to make him a coward till he dies. Act before him as though Friday were an unlucky day, and it were baleful to | have 13 at the table, or see the moon over the left shouider,and he will never ' recover from the idiotic superstitions. : You may give that girl before she is 10 : years old a fondness for dress that will make here a mere ,;dummy frame", or fashion plate, for 40 years. Ezekiel xvi, 44, "As is the mother so is her daughter." .Before one decade has passed you can utoiue ttueuiei luoo uuy suaii ue <souvlock or a George Peabodv. Boys and girls are generally echoes ot fathers and ( mothers. What an incoherent thing for a mother out of temper to punish a , child for getting mad, or a father who 1 smokes to shut his boy up in a dark , closet because he has found him with I an old stump of a cigar in his month, , or for that mother to rebuke her daugh- ! ter for staring at herself too much in . the looking glass when the mother has ' her own mirrors so arranged as to re- ; peat her form from all sides. The J great English poet's loose moral char- , acter was decided before he left the ( nursery, and his schoolmaster in the , schoolroom overheard this conversa- < tion: "Byron, your mother is a tool," j and he answered, "I know it." You can near through all the heroic > life of Senator Sam Houston the words < of his mother when she in the war of \ 1812 put- a musket in his hand and , said: 'There, my son, take this and never disgrace it, for remember I had , rather all my sons should fill one hon- ; oraole grave th m one of them should , turn his back on an enemy- Go and , remember, too, that while the door of , my cottage is open to all brave men it ( it is always shut against cowaros." J Agnppina, the mother of Xero, a mur- . derets, you are not surprised tbat ber ! son was a murderer. Give that child ' an overdose of catechism, and make him recite verses of the Bible as a pun- t ishmenf, and make Sunday a bore, aud < he will become a stout antagonist of Christianity. Impress him with the ] kiodness and the geniality and the loveliness of religion, and he will be its \ advocate and exemplar lor all time and nf.rrt ift? Ctriiiiu > .

Wna: she thinks mcst of is the bright solors of the wardrobes to be captured and the needlework. "To Sisera a pr^y of divers coiors?a prey of divers colors pf needlework, of divers colors of needle work on both sides." Now, neither Sisera's mother nor any one else cansav too much in eulogy of the needle. It has made more useful conquests than the sword. Pointed atone end and with an eye at the other, whether of bone or ivory, as in earliest time; or of bronze, as in Pl'ny's time: or of steel, as in modern time; whether laboriously fashioned as formerly by one hand or as now, when a hundred workmen in a factory are employed to make the different parts of one needle, it is an instrument divinely ordered for the comfort, for the life, for the health, for the adornment of the human race. The eye of the needle hath seen more domestic comfort, and more gladdened poverty, and more Christian service than any o*her eye. The modern sewing machine has in nowise aoonsaea me neeuie, outrauier enthroned it. Thank God tor the needlework from the time when the Loid Almigi ty from the heavens ordered in regard to the embrcide ed door of th<ancient t.abama.'Ie, "Thou shait make a haf:giug f.?r the door of the tent ot blue ann purple and scailet iud fine twined linen wrought with nre.U?work.:' dowri to the womanly hands which this winter in this Tabf-ruacl* are presenting for benev lent purposes their needlework.

But she is waiting yet, for mothers are slow to give up their bojs?waiting at some window, it may be a window on earth or at some window in heaven. All others may cast you off. Yuur wife may seek divorce and have no more patience with you. Your latner may disinherit you and sav, "Let him never again darken the door of our house."

IT ?William Givens, who has no settled occupation, was arretted herii th's afternoon lor at.temptingtokill his wife. About 3 o'clock thig morning, Mrs. Givens was w tked from a deep sleep by the loud report of a pistol in her room. She sprang up wildly, instantly awake. She screamed j aloud and threw out her arms for her husband, whom she supposed to be sleeping by her side. He was not there and she screamed ali the louder at liuding herself all alone and unprotected. A second and a third pistol shot quickly followed and Mrs. Givens felt a stinging sensation about her head. She fell bick upon her p llow which was rapidly reddening with her own blood. She heard the voice of her husband a few i'e^t away calling to her not to be frightened and not to scream. She fell back upon her pillow exhausted and begging for mercy. Her husband made a litrht and very much excited, walked over to her side and discovered that she was shot. He helped her to stop t.iie flow of blood and after daylight went in search of a physician. It was not until 9 o'clock that Givens tel ^phoned to the police. Officers Barrett and Bone placed him ui:d-r arrest and carried bi:u to police headquarters suspecting hi en of having done the shootins?. Giv-ns protested innocence and siid tnat he was awakened by the shots. He sprang oat of bed at the sound of the first shot and could dis tinctly see that some one was firing through the window from the outside. Iletried toshitl'l himself from the flying ballets, and not until the firing ceased did he make any noise. TbeD he called to his wife admonishing her to quiet herself and srop screaming. Mrs. Givens indicated to the officers her beiit-f that ber husband had done the snooting. She Mr, morally certain of it, although the evidence was mainly Ul i uu iuo'. an iai. 0.?lic?r JJone believes there is no douot ni Given's guilr. He says be carefully measured some foo' priDts beueath the window and compared the measurements with the dimensions of Givt-nu' feet and the two correspond ex-tcMy. He also accurately measured the borse tracks in the >ard and afterwares measured the f.-et of a horse in a lot which adjoins Givens' home, and f.tund that, tbf feet aud tne tracks were or the snme size exictly. Officer Bone savs he thinks G:vet?s took the horse cut of the lot and tied it outside his irate intending to made his escape on it after killing bis wife. An exhaustive search was made for the pistol, but it was nor found. He has employed Mr. F M. Mitchell to defend him. Mrs. GiveDS says that her husband was always jealous of her and frequently ac cused her of receiving visits from a .veil known nhvsimn. which insinua tion she denounced as'without foundation. This feeling of jealousy was a frequent source of trouble. A I!*ra Avi? in the Senate. Washington,January IS?Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, has resigned. The folio .ving is the le'ter of resignation: Senate Chamber, Washington, January 17,18'J4.?To the Hon. J. M. Stone, Governor of Mississippi?My Dear Sir: The condition of my health compels me to ssek a milder climate for the remainder of the winter season. The alternative is presented me of resigning my present position or absenting myself from my post of duty at a time when it is important that our State should have two Senators in their seats. It best accords with my sense of publie obligation to pursue the former course, and I trust that it may seem to my constituents, as it does to me, that in adopting it I am affording them tbe highest proof of my appreciation of their confidence and good will. I am indebted to the people of Mississippi for the highest honors in their gift, repeatedly bestowed under circumstances which greatly enhanced their value in my estimation. To hoid to the high trust which they have committed to me when unable from any cause to discharge its duties ! according to my own standard of faithful service would be an unfit return for their generosity and fidelity. Therefore I enclose you my resignation, and beg through you to repeat to the people of the State the expression of my gratitude and obligation for their kindces3, constancy and support. J can take no action now in relation to the Senatorial term beginning March 4,1895. for which 1 was elected in January, 1892. Eminent statesmen and lawyers here, to whose conclusion I can lind no answer, advise me that I have no sur-.h present connection with that t^rm as warrants me in dealing with it before it commences. Wi-?n I may lawfully act in that matter I shall be governed, as I am now in surrendering my commission for the current term, by what shall appear ;o be my duty to the people of Mississippi under conditions existing at the time.

He is shot in the ( e\e, stomach and shoulder, and there i are doubts cf his recovery. Oae of the negroes died yesterday morning. Mr. Green, when seen this afternoon, stated that the trouble was the result ot a lawsuit brought by Mr. Enoch Beaufort against Jesse Jade, the leaders in the fight. Alter the trial of the case Beaufort had some words with Jade, who knocked him down. Later in the day Beasiort swere out a warrant for the arrest oi Jade.

New Yoke, Jan. 16.?After the 30:h of this month you will be able to buv a ; telephone for a few dollars, and for 885 you can purchase a complete system, with all ths necessary implements for both ends of the line. * Huherto it OTAn 1A V>otto Knon i rr> r\r\aa i hi n f r\ nnr. chase the instruments at aav price, as ' they were controlled by patents owned by the American Bell Telephone Company. The fundamental Bell telephone patent expired on March 7, of last year. The Bell Company, it was found, however, still owned the patent on the receiver, and no telephone system would be of mucn use without a receiver. Among other concerns which entrred into the telephone business upon the expiration of the original Bell patent in March was the Shaver Corporation, of Pittsburg, Fa: The Bell Company brought, suit against the Shaver Corporation on the receiver, citing the patent cf Alexander Graham Bell of Jan. 30,1877, aj the one infringed. An injunction was promptly granted and that put an end to the opposition telephone business for the time being. But the patent of January 30, 1877, is no w about to expire, and thus both the receiver and the transmitter will be free to the public. After the 30th of this month teleu ^ ^ u ~ /<.a1 J i;i*A ~ ma PUULLC3 Will UB 3U1U U&C lift 13 Ul UigAlO. Instead of paying $240 a year for the rent of an instrument you can buy one outright for less than a tenth of that sum. If you only wish to uss it between your house and office, or bet we?i the house and the stable, or from office to factory, you can have a line put up for a trifling sum and yon will own your system outright and can stop paying the exorbitant prices no* charged by tbe Bell Company. If, however,70u wish a telephone for general use and have to depend upon tde exchange, you will still be at the mercy of the Bell Companv.at least for some time to come. It is evident from tbe preperations now being made in this city and elsewhere by manufacturers of electrical apparatus that ?. b:sr boom is expected in the sale of telephones. A lar^e number of instru ments have been made and these will be put on the market. January 31. Many large contracts hav- been made for the supply of telephones after that dare. All these new instruments will be sold outright. None will be rented. They do not differ in appearance from r.hnse of the RkiI Homoanv.and. in fact. are smaller. Being new, they are superior to most of the instruments f-upplled by the Bell Telephone Company, and which have been in use for years. In view of the expiration of this patent, the Bell Company, it is said, has about decided to abandon the private line business and the indpendent telephone system in the smaller country towns. At present the Bell Company coarges -5150 a year for a private line in this city. A rich field awaits the capitalists who will engage to fight the Bell Company in this city, which is its stronghold. The enormous revenue which it derives from the people of New York may be judged from the fact that it charges $240 a year for a telephone in a business house, and that it has 10.000 subscribe. In Brooklyn, Jersey City and adjacent suDurbs there are 10,000 additional subscribers. But from the people of this city alone it is obvious rhnr ?;OfWinnfl a \?Aar is taVen fnr thp use of instruments which did not cost 850,000.?World.. A Rancorus Ex-Priest, Kansas City, Jan. 16.?The city is wild with excitement tonieht, the result of a riot precipitated by an ex-priest who bitterly assailed the Catholics. Aq address was delivered by J. Y. McNamara, said to be !rom Rome. He commenced by making a rancorous attack on the Catholics and the institutions they hold so dear. He had not proceeded far with his harrangue when he was interrupted by groans and hisses from the audience. These only seemed to add intensity to the bitterness of his remarks, and the meeting son became a - -rV _ J scene 01 nowimg, eio ieu men, ami uiuac up in disorder. After the hall had been cleared a crowd of men gathered on the street and waited for the speaker to appear. When he came down from the ball he was greeted by veils of derision, and there were cries of "hang him." Hi3 friends collected about him, and an attempt was made to push a way through the crowd. As the angry mob crowded about McNamara and his band of supporters, pistols were drawn and some one fired a shot into the air. This 3eemea the signal of a general fight and several shots were exchanged. One man was shot, bDt he was taken away by his friends. During the general melee McNamara, the cause of the riot, managed to escape and is hiding somewhere in the city. After the shooting, the police made an assault upon the struggling mob and many persons were arrested. Oa all of those taken into custody, pistols were fourd and it is evident that a fight was anticipated by both sides and that they were prepared to shed blood in case the difficulty reached that stage. The city is in a state of wild uproar and more trouble is feared before morning. A Successful HoidUp. ST. J OSEPII, MO., J an. i<5.? l ram ^ u. 3 on the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Biuffs lUilroad was held up and robbed at 12:20 o'clock this morning by five masked men at Roy's Landing, one mile north of this city, the scene of the attempted robbery of September 25 last. The train w<*s stoppsd by a torpedo and a red lantern signal and when the engineer had slowed up, he and the firemen were covered by revolvers and f jrced to go back to the express car and demand admittance. The express messenger, C. E. Baxter, was covered by revolver? in the hands of the robbers and they proceeded to plunder the car. The safe was opened and the contents were transferred to a sacfc which was carried byfone of the gang. The robbers then assembled all the train crew in a bunch, marjhed them about half way down the tram and ordering them to stand still, made ttieir escape in a westerly direction through the dense willows which line the track at that point. Che robbers could not be described. but are supposed to bs the gang that held up and robbed the Chicago fast train, the "Eli," on the Hannibal, just a week ago tonight. Two of the men. a tall and short one, answer the description given of the two "Eli" robbers. Sheriff Carson and a large posse of deputies are hot on the trail of the robbers, and every available man has been pressed into Service. As soon as the robbers left the train it was backed down into the city and the ofiicials notified. Nothing can be ascertained in regard co how much money the robbers secured, but coming on the heels of the last robbery it has created intense excitement all over the city. Roy's Landing, where the hold up occurred, was the place where two tram robbers were killed and four captured on September 25 by a dummy tram sent out by the officials of the road in place oi tram j\o. <5., cue iram mai, was entacked last night. A Fiendish Crime. Birmigiiam, Ala, Jan. 16.?John E. Johnson, a negro, murdered his entire family at SomerTille, Morgan county Sunday night, and tried to cover up his crime by burning the house. His wife v'K 1A o rvari raono^firCtl O n AUU liVYV UU11U1CU, ai^gu v and 3, were the victims. Johnson first cut their throats and then saturated the room with oil and set fire to the house. OlIv charred portions of the bodies were"found in the debris. Jealousy and another woman figured in the case. Johnson is in jail, and is pretty sure to De lynched, as excitement among the nogroes is intense They are gathering in large numbers to avenge the horrible crime. D?ep Water tr.r Charleston. j Charleston, S C, Jaa. IS ?la O:- j tober last Captain Frederick V. Abbott i the United Spates engineer in charge of | the government improvements in \ Charleston harbor, announced in his j annual report that the fifteen-foot ( channel of 1884 had become a twenty foot channel in 1892 A new surrey of the harbor aad the jetty channel was completed by Captain Abbott in December and has just been chartered. It shows that in two months the channel framed a death of one foot of water. I This means that a vessel drawing 21 feet of water can pass through the jetty channel ar. high water?the least depth anywhere in the channel being 158 feet cn a smaller shoal at the harbor end of the passage. Off of thi= shoal the depths in >.he channel are 18 3 feet next the shoai and 18.9 feet at the entrance from the sea, with a depth of 27.2 feet half way between these two points. So that with the soiall inner I shoal removed a vessel drawing 23 feet j could now come into the harbor at high water with some inches of water clear under her bottom at the shallowest points and several feet clearing the rest of the channel. Considered from every point of view, therefore, as Captain Abbott says, the latest chart "is the most favorable showing yet obtained," and it appears to give certain promises that the 23 foot channel from deep water outside to deep water luside will be obtained l at a very early day, even earlier th.-.a | was expected last October, lc is not safe co m*ke predictions in regard to events occurring under waer, but there bas been again of on^ Toot in depth since the survey in October, and there is much less work for the tide to do now than there was then. It is expected that the small sho*l which is no*- in tbe way will disappear in its turn in the next sixty or ninety day.-, and that the next oflicial survey willshow twenty-three feet of water throughout the jetty channel at mean high tide. 3Ia:nt?n'lni* her Cli'm.

Mr. ParLer and Mr. Peterson said that they saw the queen half an hour before they left on the stecmer Australia, and she was firm iu her determination to claim throne. At no time did she or any of her advisers mention the possibility of presenting a claim to the United States for pecuniary assistance. how would she sue? Washington, Jan. 18.?The officials of the "state departmen t scoff at the story that ex Qaeen Liliukalana is c >ntemnlating a suit forjdamagess against the United States government for having ousted her from her th:one and having taken hergovernmentfrom her. It is inquired very pertinently, "w here will she brin? suit?" There is no court in | which she has the privilege of briDgiog suit. The only means of enforcing a decision would be to wage war. She might. indeed, file a [claim with congress, but she would b^ entirely dopendent upon legislation for and return'. j A Picnic for the Lvwyer a. Greenville, Jan. 18.?A curious will c*meto light today by the death of Elizabeth Waters, near Ileidville, Spb/tanburg County. Jame3 and Anthony Wakefield, two old bachelor brothers, started a town which they wanted named Wakefield, but it wa3 called Reidville. They determined to kill the town, and at their death left all their large estate to their neice, Mrs. Waters, for her life and at her death the property goes to the clerk of Court of Spartanburg County and his successors, to-be held in trust for one hundred years. At the expiration of that period it is to be divided among the nearest relatives. Today Mrs. Waters died and under the will the clerk of Court; will take possession. It is stip ulated that only so much of the land shall be worked during the huadred years as will produce a sufficient amount to pay the taxes. The land completely surrounds Kiedvme, cutting it off from the entire world, and is valued at one huudred thousand dol lars, which may not he half the actual value. It is supposed that the lawyers will have a picnic in the litigation which will be opened. Eadorsea Senator Irby. Washington, D. (J., Jan. 17.

Xine negro workmen were snot while in camp. The attacking party had 1 shot guns and Winchester ritles. It is not yet known who formed the attacking party, but it is believed that they were squatters, whose rights had been infringed on. Another theory is that the shooting was done by employes ot rival firms who have attempted to prevent the distillery being run. Intsnry rucI Old Ag?>.

The Keelev Institute at a striking instance that we shall present, in the ne^.r future, a complete description and report of the c?se, with a cut of the chili. The Vermont Watchman and State Journal-mentions the matter as follows: A case ^^np^ee^ dented in the medical practice of Dr. J. W. Nichols, of the Xeeley Institute, and one that has excited the liveliest interest in all who are acquainted with it, is now under treatment at the Institute at Montpeiier. About two weeks ago Mrs. .Nora Woodworih, of Jonesville, applied at the Institute for treatment for the morphine habit. Dr. Nichols was surprised to find that she was accompanied by a daughter tbree years old, and surprise does not express it when he learned that the little one was also a conlirirei victim of the disease with winch its mother was suffering'. By invitatiou of Dr. Nichols and with tne consent of the mother, a representative of tne Watchman cniled on Mrs. Woodworth ruesdiy. She received' thereporter daily and wa3 perfectly free to answer any questions regarding herself or her llaxen-haired lit tie girl, who, in answer to the question, "VVhat is your name V" promptly replied, ''The Keel?v 3iby."

The Worlds Fa'ure. The editor of McCiure's Magazine has performed good service ia collect isg from distinguished men sentiments and forecasts for the immediate future Charles A. Dan i sends this word' "Obey God and never fear the devil." W. T. Stead's message.is," Work for the uniOD of all who love, in the service of those who suffer." John Tyndall wrote shortly before his lamented death as follows, qaoting from Enerson the first three words: " 'I covet trnth.' The gladness of true heroism visits the heart of him who is really competent to say this." Washington Gladden writes, "I hope men are slowly learniop that no man iiveth to himself alone." In bitter contradistinction to this exSenator John J. Ingalls.observes, "The disappearance of evil from the earth is net probable." Huxley quotes one of his own utterances of 17 years ago to the effect that America has a great future before her?great in glory or great in shame. Then he says, "The one condition of success?the sole safeguard ?is the moral worth and the intellect ual clearness of the individual citizen." Talcott Willi ims declares that a spiritual renaissance is about to mark the next great development of thought. Professor Max Mailer's sentiment is significant: "We are told that the world will bo Slavonic or Teutonic. True. The Anglo-Saxon race in America will have to decide which it is to be" As to the future of society in material things, only one forecast is gioomy? that of Elisee Rsclus, who says the small farmers will become extinct un- ' less thev unite and defend themselves. ( It is interesting to note that two of the prophets, Professor Thompson of the j Thompson-Houston Electric company, an electrician, and Professor Uemsen i chemist, both predict that at no dis t^nt day food will be made artificially, ( directly from the original elements, by combining together in due proportion ' its proper components. Professor Houston says this will be done by elec tricity; i'rotessor Ilemsen, by cheans- ( try. Perhaps both are right.
