Ib^ \. OURBENT TOPICS. A Geuuan steamship recently took to Coloa from Africa 700 Liberians, men of gigantic stature and ijowerful phyBiijue. They were half naked, carried iiueerlook- ing bundles upon their Hhouldura and ai>oke a iauguage which no one else on the Ibth- mils underbtood. It is haidtbat 1,500 more will follow, and that these men wdl work on the Panama Caual. liiiral CdiiuiUan : A young and enter- priamg Canadian, Mr. H. M. Maihewson, who has been carrying on farming opera- tions in Dakota for the past two or three years, states a fact which friends and op- ponents of freer trade relations with tlie United States may be invited to make a note of. He has a dock of Shropshire grades, and he sold their clip of wool this year at a village market for I'l^ cents per poud. The price paid for the same grade of wool in Toronto was only Hi cents per pound. The United States duty on such wool is 10 cents per pound. Would the Ontario farmer or any other Ontario man be the worse or better oS could au extra 10 cents per pound be procured for our On- tario wools ? Mus. Clevel.vmi is winning laurels as a wire-puller, but her" wire-pulling," as it is called, seems to be only the iustiuctive kindliness of heart that impels her lo endeavor to make every one comfortable. A recent incident shows this characteristic ; An old man at the St. Louis Fair asked to be introduced to Mrs. Cleveland, as he believed he was related to her. lie was presented. " So you are a connection of mine," she said sweetly. "There was an Elisha Folsom some where back four or five generations who was a great-great- grandfather of mine, aad,l think, uf yours,.' the old man answered bashfully. " Now, let nje see." she said ; " pray, sit down. There was an Klisha Folsom who married ." The pretty little woman rattled oil the names of her relatives, and glibly showed him that of course they were re- latives. Five minutes after the old gentle- man was relating the incident to every- body. She won him for life. Tub Sultan of Morocco, who was recently reported dead, seems to be alive and kick- ing. A recent cablegram says he is now engaged in carrying out an original device for preserving discipline in his harem. Having received a bicycle as a present, and being deterred by the appreciation of his own dignity from attempting to comjuer it, he used it as an instrument of torture, or a sort of coercion machine, for the unruly among his better halves. .\ bad wife, if a iriend of the Sultan may be believed, is mounted on the machine and condemned to endure from hve to twenty-live falls, according to the gravity of the offence. To see such a punishment would be worth travelling miles through the desert, when one considers the helpless rage of a plump lady, transferred from a cushion in the harem to the leather seat of a bicycle, her costume so ill adapted to such sport, and a picturesque background of the Moorish police force and the black old Sultan laugh- ing until his sides ache at the result of his own cleverness. Hai'I'knino to want a place to strike a parlor match te light a gas-stove, says a writer in the Chicago Jmirnal (if Ciniiinerce, I struck the match upon the stove over the gas.

Fdhthrb investigation shows the Now Yiirk I'ojit that there are thirty- live widows of revolutionary soldiers still drawing peii- sions, some of them less than kO, in good health and likely to be alive in I'.JOO. It therefore regards it as probable that the United States Government will still be paying pensions in the year 2,000 on ac- count of the war of the rebellion. The marriage of a young woman to an old soldier may ccirae to be regarded as one of the most protitable investments possible. .•Vhiikvii.lf. is the only place in North Carolina where the President and his party will stop. Asheville is in Buncombe county. This county was named after Col. A. Bun- combe, of Buncombe Hall, near Edeuton, who came of a tine old Fnglish family. He raised, ei|uipt)ed and led a regiment in the Revolutionary war. Fifty years ago the representative from that countj in the State Legislature made a llorid speech on a local issue which he innocently explained was especially intended for Buncombe. Thus originated an expression which has now a permanent place in the language, CoL. Fi. B. DicKKNsoN, President of the New York State Stenographers' Asaocia tion, regards Phillips Brooks as the fastest speaker in this country, if not in the world. No one stenographer can report him accurately, and the onlv way he can be reported with any degree of satisfaction is by two exijerts who compare their notes after they have written them out. Mr. Beecher, he says, was an easy man to re- port. He considers ordinary speakers who haven't any idea in their heads and yet think they must speak as giving the hardest work to stenographers. The Prince of Wales, when he took his morning draughts at the Uomburg Springs, dazzled beholders withanamazingcostunio.

Among other things he said: "1 tliink your women are superior to your men. They are handsomer, better dressed, better couversatioiialibts and apparently better educated , but jour men, I believe, are the hardest working and most energetic in the world." The Thakore Sahih may have a hard name, but he evidently has a level head.

I.N a recent able address. Sir William Vernon Harcourt remarked that tlio men who had the boat opportunity to judge of the difficulties of ruling Ireland were all in favor of granting Irishmen the right to govern themselves in local matters. He put the case in these telling words . " Why, at present bow many men who have been Lord- Lieutenants of Ireland are Home liulers 1 Far the greater majority.

Great, salty tears chased one another down her fair cheek. " What is the matter, dear ?" he asked, as be placed a new clove in his mouth and prepared to kisa her. " Oh, everything is the matter," she aobbed as she placed one arm about his neck and laid her head down on his shoulder. " I want to die." " Oh no, you don't, dear," he remon- strated. " Tell me what is the matter. Now do." " Fergy," she questioned, " do you love me as much as you did when you married me ?" •• Why, of course I do. What put such a question in your head .'" " Are yuu sure that you do ?" " What do you mean, Ellen ? Y'ou know that I love you as much as I over did. and more if anything." *' Don't be silly, Korgy. How am 1 to know it ? The minister waa here to .lay and said that a loving huHband was con- tinually showing hisdevotion for his wife.

" Have I been unkind to you ?" " No o o, but then the minister went from hereover tothat hateful Mrs. Brown's, and I just know that he said the aamething to her." •• Well, what of it ?" " Nothing ; only Mrs. Brown is going to have a new sealskin cloak, and she will go aroiiiiH and tell what the minister said. Then she will tell how much her husband loves her and hint that you and I are going to separate." Mr. Montgomery ordered the new cloak the next morning, and incidentally put out a story about the minister having lost a great many friends, and that he had better look for a different tield. â€" Miniieapoli.- Journal. •• Remember, to-night yon shape your own future. Mr. .Vuisley, a tall, line-looking man, in the prime of life, addressed these words to his daughter. Gladys Ainsloy was 17 years of age, rather short of stature, but she carried her- self with a certain dignity that 'became her well. She owned a pair of hazel eyes that peeped merrily from beneath her long lasbert. The golden-brown hair fell in liitle waves on her low, broad brow, and the ruby lips, [jerbapa a trifle too full, formed a pretty little pout. The aristocratic little nose was elevated in the air as her father repeated the words, " Remember, to-night you shape your own future." " Now, I don't want any of your non- sense," said Mr. Ainsley angrily. The girl's face fell immediately. " Yes, yes, I know, I understand," faltered Gladys, " but I love Guy Nor- wood." " Pooh, love! some ridiculous fancy you have got into your silly little bead, ' said her father. Gladys drew herself up to lier full height and her eyes tlasheu, but slie said nothing. 'â-  Getting spunky, eh, " said Mr. Ainsley, half aside. •â-  Now, 1 must be otT. One last warning, you are aware that (^yril Vane has asked my permission to pay his addresses to you, I nave my consent ; when he proposes tonight you accept him.

She i^avu a bi(;h uf relief, and, wiilliin^ slowly down the hainlHuiiiely tuiia.-.lied drawing- room, she stood beiore a mirrur and surveyed ht-rself from head tu foot. .She wore a white drees of soft material, which fell in uraceful folds around liir dainty little liijure ; at her throat was fastened a cluster uf pale pink rotiebu<ls; she wore noother ornament. .\fter surveying a f(?w minutes, slie turned away and paced restlessly up and down the room, murmuring to herself, " Oh ! Guy, Guy." Mr. Ainsley was a wealthy merchant, Guy Norwood a clerk in his utlin, Cyril Vane a wealthy young man who Ined on his means. .\t last Gladys, feeling fatigued from walking so much, sank down un an ottoman. In a few minutes the footman announced Mr. Vane. Gladys went for ward to meet him with a ciiarmirii; smile. Ill the course of the evening Mr. Vane pro posed to her. Gladys asked a few minutes to consider his proposal. It was t;ranted immediately. She arose and went tu the library. Sinking down on an easy chair and resting her head on her little jewelled hands, she wondered what her father would say if she refused Cyril Vane, and for a moment she wavered, but the image of handsome Guy Norwood arose in her inind's eye, and she remembered that tomorrow ni^ht she was to give him an answer ; and she wondered how ho would feel if she told hiiu she was engaged to Mr. Vane. Why. ho might i>ossibiy commit suicide. Men had dune such foolish things, all for the sake of the women they loved. Oh ! no, no, she could never gi\e him up ; and then, like a true woman, she felt sorry when xhe thought of the paiu she would cause Mr. Vaue. HibiuK, she returned to her anxiously waiting lover, and told hitn gently bu' firmly that she loved another and, kno'viiig that, she could never become his wife. He asked lier if she was quite sure that she woiiM never change her mind ? CUadys told him her mind was (|uite made up. Ht^ caught h>-r little hand in his, and pressing it passionately to her lips bade her good bye for ever. CHAPTER II. room he was greatly astonished to see Mr. Norwood sitting beside his daughter, instead of Mr. Vane as he had expected. But wlien he heard the story, he made no ob- jectiona, as Gladys had prophesied, but blessed them both, and calling them his children, soon left them, muttering to him- self, " It was the queerest piece of busi- ness he ever heard of," and retired, while the two young people made love in the drawing-room.
