A ROBLB LIFE BBDBD. BY nanxm IIARKZR. " How is Mr. Bâ€"â€"-this morning 2†“ Master is no better, thank you. The house is very sad," answered the simple. hearted servant at the door. “ Sad, indeed, my good girl ; so also is the whole neighborhood,†I replied, as I turned to descend the front steps. Being turned, 1 met another neighbor, just enter- ing the gate, which he softly shut behind him lest its iron far should rouse a sick man up on the seeor d story, and behind a solid stone front, indeed ! But the; careful handling of the gate was a small straw to show which way the winds of gentlest sympathy and tender solicitude were blowing the igh the whole street. We all walked as on tiptoe alas the pavement past that house, wherein lay -â€"â€"’ prostrate with his fever. The very tradesmeu’s boys, unreqnested, drew up their crazy vehicles, creeping gingerly above the stones. . “Ah, I was just about to ask, how is he? \Vhat do they say ‘3†said the latest comer to me. “ No better. It is a darkened house and a shadowsd community,†I responded. “ Indeed, you are right. Bâ€"-â€"- is a most blameless man. I think we all love that man. Great Heaven ! must he indeed die, and so many others live on their worthless lives ! We cannot spare him yet, pray God l†Over in the city it was the same beautiful sentiment repeated. Men paused amid the busiest aï¬â€™airs to ask us how was Bâ€"â€". Of course, he would recover ; such men must not die : the world could not get on without them. Schemes of grand import were delay- ed till Bâ€"â€"-â€"gets on his feet again. We can do nothing without him. †Young men, it was said, came gravely to his ofï¬ce, with anxxety in their hearts deeper than their words ex- pressed, asking the troubled clerks “ when they really thought~ Bâ€"would get over again,†and showin how large a clientage there really was 0 defendants, of young lives hoping in his life, of troubled lives leaning on us one grand life, of inexperienc- ed lives looking habitually to this one Wise life for advice. And I knew how frail and fluttering that great life was. Somehow from the start I felt that Bâ€"-â€"would never get well. Perhaps we leaned upon him too much. \Vell, it was all over at last. Men came up from down town, came from banks and stores, came from factories, and even legis- lative halls. Yet it was the busiest hour of the day. They stood far out on the side walk and patiently waited in the chill, raw winds of winter. This outside crowd could not hear the words of the preacher, and, so perforce they preached for themselves. One ray-haired banker said to a rough cart- river, though for once shaven and neatly brushed : “ Did you know him, my man '3†“ Ay, sir. And like every one else, knew him for my good.†So the two men shook hands on it, one with kids, the other with callous and bare hand, made e uals in the love they bore the dead man. ‘hen another said : “ He saved my life.†“ And my child’s life 1†broke in an elder- ly gentleman, instantly. And when they had gone on preaching of what the good neighbor had done for them, some one changed the direction of the’ grati- tude by saying: “ He never did me harm. I, at least, can say that.†A chorus took that up, as if itewere a privilege, and echoed it. “ No, he never did anybody a harm. If he could not do man good, he did no man evil.†One after another told how the dead man might have done him evil. and proï¬ted by it, according to the worldâ€"this world, not the world to which our friend had now goneâ€"and yet how he had declined to pull himself up by other men’s falls. They preached such glowing funeral sermons there in the frosty open air as made the winter turn to summer all about us, while God’s sun shone warmer still from low down in the south. , Then we were admitted to look upon the face of marble. It was a halting line which made reluctant haste and jealously give place each to each in turn. Bâ€"â€"-was not rich after all, in silver and gold ; but if every look of grateful thanks that such a man had lived among us had been turned to tribute money, how would the golden pile have grown to heaps on heaps about his coffin. The people spoke right out. in mur. murs hoarse with feeling, saying, “ He lived a blameless life. Yes, yes, a life which did no purposed injury unto an 1†They looked hard from the face of the end to the faces of the living who were near kin to him, as if they yearned to pour into the cars that yet could hear their pent-up sympathy. And some there were who would not be denied, but caught the bards of his sons, wringing them, and saying: “ He was to me also like a father !†and, “My boy, your father’s name will open any door to you !" and, “Children of such a sire have a great patrimony in the world’s debt to him !†and, "Since we can never pay it to him, his children must collect the father‘s debt of love and wide good-will.†Thus ran the story time forbade. The funeral train departed, and we went back to toil. How could one go back to toil with sordid selfishness? We had been in a holy place. The pen, if put to paper, would not cast ac- counts, but insist on writing to an absent friend of this good man's life translated. oh, how poor and mean seemed the petty strifes for transient gain! How contempt-ibis seemed the ‘ ‘smart man "across the streetâ€"the keen, the shrewed, the brilliant, and unscrupulous man across the] streetâ€"the clever fellow who " always beats me,†and whom we but yestermorning had regarded as an idealâ€"how utterly unworthy in comparison with the frank, open, strong life of the blameless and pure man whom we had lost.

Men say these things in his liv- ing ears: and the best of it is his own heart says as much, God bearin witness. While, on the other hand, a d man, guilty of a thousand wounds, foreknows that the grave is no covert ; that his departure will be but the signal for a bowl of execra- tion, curses, not loud, but deep, over the dead lion, whom no dog fears. And what if such as these have ears to hear earth echoes lâ€"cnrses added unto curses rising up from the earth they: have left behind, until they are forgotten? W DEATH IN A RUSSIAN VILLAGE. Horrors or the Famine Discs-flied by an orthodox Priest. Fathér Filmanoï¬â€˜, an Orthodox Russian priest in the province of Kasan, describes thus his visit to the starving village of Naredey: “In the ï¬rst half hour I met sixteen persons in the death struggle. An old woman died before my eyes. Most of 'the starving persons had not tasted bread for eight days. White faced, blear-eyed, the stricken men stared helplessly at me. They have lost even the strength required to stretch out their hands in a mute petition for bread. Only the most fortunate have their prayer granted; the rest die before he] can arrive. Before the houses, on the cur s, at the church door, and the market lace I saw the pale, haggard, bent, and diseased ï¬gures. Every look meant hunger and weakness. Some crept along in ap- parent indifference and resignation : others acted as if mad, and cried: Bread ! Bread ! Don’t let us die E†“The mothers whose children have al- ready succumbed to hunger lament day and night. Everything edible has been consum- ed. So long as there were weeds and berries life was possible, but when these were gone all felt themselves face to face with death. In their despair they stripped the leaves from the lindens, dried and ground them, and made them into a porridge. This con- coction stilled the pain for about fourteen days, but afforded little nourishment. Then the lindens were stripped bare and the people began to die. Starvation makes such rapid ravages liercabouts that within eight days in one village of 150 families forty-seven families have died out entirely.†It Was Raining. The other morning While the rain was pouring down and cverybody’s umbrella was trickling water over everybody else, two old friends met at the post oï¬â€™ice. “ Raining, isn’t it ?†inquired Mr. Thompson. V “ What say?†asked Johnson, who was hard of hearing. “ I say it’s raining.†“ I don’t quite catch what you say,†said Johnson putting his hand to his ear. “ I say,†roared Thompson with full force, “ it’s raining lâ€"namv DAY ! 2†Johnson’s face coloured With suppressed rage as he passed on. Then, turning sudden~ ly, he looked after his friend and shout- ed :â€" “ Thompson, step in this doorway a moment.†Thompson complied with this request, and whilst the raindrops were falling ra- pidly, the following conversationâ€" accom- panied by wild gesticulationsâ€"took place. “Mr. Thompson,†said Johnson earn- estly, “ you have known me for- many years?†“ Yes.†“I’m generally rated a pretty shrewd business man, ain’t I ‘3†“ Yes ; you are.†“ \Vell, you see the rain running off this of the hither side of the stream are ost on ‘ railroad is let out w contract: for portions h own responsibility whether they have ,he ever needed a doctor or not. of ï¬ve, ten, or fifteen miles. Even when reat jobs of 70 or 100 miles are contracted or in one iece, it is customary or the con- tractor to 'vide his task and su 'let it. But a fairly representative bit of mountain work is that which I found Dan Dunn superin- tending, as the factotum of the contractor who undertook it. If a contractor acts as “ boss †himself, he stays upon the ound ; but in this case the contractor ha other undertakings in hand. Hence the presence of Dan Dunn, his walking boss or general foreman. Dunn is a man of means, and is himself a contrac- tor by profession, who has‘worked his way up from a start as a laborer. The camp to which we came was a port. able city, complete except for its lack of women. ' It had its artisans, its professional men, its store and workshops, its seat of government and ofï¬cers, and its policeman, its amusement hall, its work-a-dayand social sides. Its main peculiarity was that its boss (for it is like an American city in the possession of that functionary also) had an- nounced that he was going to move it a couple of miles away on the following Sun- day. One tent was the stableman’s, with a capacious “ corral†fenced in near by for the keeping of the pack-horses and mules. His corps of assistants was a large one ; for, bestdes the pack-horses that connected the campwitli the on ter world, he had thekeeping of all the “ grade-horses,†so calledâ€"those which draw the stone and dirt carts and the little duvnp cars on the false track set up on is to be done. Another tent was the black- smith’s. He had a “ helper,†and was a busy man, charged with all the tool-sharp- suing, the care of all the horses’ feet, and the repairing of all the ironwork of the wagons, cars, and dirt-scrapers. Near by was the harness-man’s tent, the shop of the leather-mender. begantomemble in the “grub tent" for sup .

Part of the Alphabet and Several Digits Were against Him. Through the labors of an ingenious writer in Figaro the superstitious will ï¬nd a special source of pleasure in the life and death of Boulanger. This writer shows that the letter B was a fatal letter to Boulanger. He died at Brussels from a bullet, through despair over the death of Mme. de Bonne- main. Queeney de Beaurepaire was his ac- cuser at the trial which began his misfor- tunes. In something the same way C is shown to have been his letter of evil influence, F his hostile letter, and L his friendly letter. But in the matter of numbers the hand of fate is still clearer. Mme. de Bonnemain was born in 1855. The four ï¬gures of this number add up 19. She died in 1891, the four ï¬gures of which also add up 19. He was born in 1-837, and these four ï¬gures add up 19. He died in 1891, and there you have 19 again. Another article in the same journal shows the death of the General as more lament- able from a commercial than from the politi- cal point of view. He calls attention to the number of books and pamphlets upon Bou- langer which the Boulangist movement call- ed into vigorous and pro table life. Then In the centre of the camp, ! there were the pictures of the “ brave Gen- like a low citadel, rose a. mound of logs and ‘ Gm †in every conceivable garb ; and here earth bearing on a sign the single word “ Powder,†but containing within its great sunken chamber a considerable store of explosivesâ€"giant, black, and Judson pow- der and dynamite. Another tent was that of the time~keeper. He journeyed twice a day all over the work ï¬ve miles up and ï¬ve down. On one journey he noted what men were at labor in the I forenoon, and on his return he tallied those the levels near where “ï¬lling†or “cutting†who were entitled to pay for the second half of the day. Such an official knows the name of every laborer, and, moreover he knows the pecuniary rating of each man, so that when the workmen stop him to order shoes or trousers, blankets, shirts,tobacco, penkuives, or what not, he decided upon sufï¬cient money coming to them to meet the accommodation. ‘ The “ store" was simply another test. Init was kept a fair supply of the articles in constant demandâ€"a. supply brought from the headquarters store at the other end of the trail, and constantly replenished by the pack-horses. This trading-place was in charge of a. man called “ the bookkeeper,†and he had two or three clerks to assist him The stock was precisely like that of a cross- roads country store in one of our older States. Its goods included simple medicin- cs, boots, shoes, clothing, cutlery, tobacco, cigars, pips, hats and caps, blankets, thread, and needles, and several hundred others among the ten thousand necessaries of a. modern laborer’s life. The only legal tender received there took the shape of orders written by the time-keeper, for the man in charge of the store was not required to know the ratings of the men upon the pay-roll. The doctor’s tent was among the rest but his ofï¬ce might amply have been said to be “ in the saddle.†He was nominally employed by the company, but each man was “ docked,†or charged, seventy-ï¬ve cents a month for medical services whether \Vlien I was in the camp there was only one sick manâ€"a rheumatic. He had a tent all to himself, and his meals were regularly car- ried to him. Though he was a stranger to every man there, and had worked only umbrella, don’t you ?†one day before be surrendered to sickness, “ Of course:†a purse of about forty dollars had been rais- “ Your own feet are wet?†ed for him among the men, and he was “ Yes.†to be “ packed †to Sproat’s Landing on a. the sun oï¬', do I ‘2†“ W'hy, no.†“ I carry it to keep off the rain, don’t I ‘2†“ Of course.†> “ Well, then, it rains. You know it rains. Everybody knows it rains. People are not idiots. Now, what reasons have you got in pushing aside my umbrella and saying " raining, isn’t it?’ †‘ “ Butâ€"-â€"Butâ€"-â€"â€"†“ Now, that’s all. You just let it rain. She knows her business. You just attend to your own affairs and let the weather if you don’t know enough to know Good day, sir !†And then Mr. Johnson shook the rain off his umbrella, stepped into his ofï¬ce, and commenced opening his letters with an air of contentment. _____..__ The Biggest Bolling Shlp Afloat.

It seems that the German manufacturers borrowed their. ideas for devices from the cartoons of Boulanger fre- quently. A cartoon of J can of Arc, Vere- ingetorix, Napoleon I., and Boulanger on the four aces of a pack of cards as “ The French Trumps,†appeared with the faces changed from smirk to enthusiasm as “ The Four Aces of France,†and carried districts for Boulanger in the great election. One collector of Boulanger relics has near- ly 600 songs composed in honor of him. The same collector has thousands upon thou- sands of pictures of him. Besides medal- lions, brooches, bracelets,of myriad designs, there were bottles, tobacco boxes, pipes, heads of canes, and vases bearing the brave General’s features. His name was given to various kinds of clothes, to neckwear, to a brand of wine, to a. kind of cigarette paper, to letter paper, and pcrfumery. When Boulanger fell what was left of all these things become a. drug in the market.

FAMINE THREATENS CHINA. Swarms of locusts Are Eating up Every Green Thing. In addition to the cholera. plague now de- vastating China, famine seems to be staring the people in the face throughout the larger part of the empire, says a letter from Shang- hai. This probability of famine is caused by the immense swarms of locusts. which eat up every green thing growing. Steamers coming from the interior river ports report passing through swarm upon swarm of these insects, which obstruct the view so that at times even the sun is hidden from sight. The effect of a visit of these pests is sim- ply appalling. The entirc expanse of fertile country, which at this season of the year usually weai‘s such a green up earance, is almost rendered like a desert. The rice and corn appear to be utterly destroyed, and of ' the grass (the sole dependence of the cattle Another oï¬icial habitation was the “ store- i man’s†tent. As a rule, there is a store-man to every ten miles of constrtiction work ; often every camp has one. The store-man keeps account of the distribution of the sup- plies of food. He issues requisitions upon the head storehouse of the company, and makes out orders for each day’s rations from quarts of meal three times a day. The cooks are therefore the camp store. of the principal building in the campâ€"the mess hall, or “ grub tent.†This structure was of a size to accommo- date two hundred men at once. Two tables louder him, and this fact suggests a mention 'ran the length of the unbroken interiorâ€" l tables made roughly of the slabs or outside boards from a saw-mill. The benches were huge tree trunks spiked fast upon stumps. I There was a benc on either side of each l g and sheep) not a vcstige remains after a swarm passes over it. ' To make matters worse, the astrologers and local spies tell the common people that the visitation of the locusts is heaven’s way of expressing its wrath against the present ruling dynasty in China, and that so long as they willingly submit to be governed by their present ruler each year, heaven will send ascourge equally dreadful. The pea.- sants readily believe this, and the cry of re- bellion and overthrow of the present dynasty and the establishment of one of real Chinese, as the astrologers claim heaven Wishes, is fast gaining recruits throughout the devast- ated districts. Should the effects of the locusts be as bad as reported, then the famine will be very eneral throughout central China, and in case of a rebellion the entire populace in the famine districts would probably engage in it, on one side or the other, and the re- sults would be too horrible to anticipate. Earnings of Celebrated Actors and Ac- “68865. Probably Mr. Irving has made as much by his profession as any living actor; he is supposed to net £15,000 per annum. Ono authority makes his income even higher than this, stating that for some time it has averaged £700 a week. Of actresses, Sarah Bernhardt is supposed to earn more than any living stage performer. For two shortl seasons in the United States she is said to have received from Mr. Abbey £37,000 for We are told that in twenty-ï¬ve 17, the enemy suddenly swooped down upon‘s his column. The expedition had reached a dense bush, when, without the slightest pre~ monit-ion, anenormous force of the Wahehe, numbering, it is sup sed, 3,000 warriors, rushed out of the bus . They were armed with guns, supplied to them by Portuguese traders, and with a horrible din they began pouring a deadly ï¬re into the German column. Plunging into the line of the German native levies, they cut the columnin two, and, standing between the separated por- tions, they fired in both directions. while the ï¬re of the German troops probably killed many of their own friends on the other side- of the attackin \Vahehe. In fact, the Ger- man soldiers on y ï¬red a half dozen volleys, believing that they were killin their own men. They then broke and do in all dir- ections, pursued by the victorious Wahehe. Lieut. 'l‘ettenborn rallied twenty of the fleeing soldiers and tank up a position on a hill. Here he was attacked by the Wahehe but he succeeded in beatin them 00‘. He attracted the attention of 0t ier fugitives to the rallying point and by 4 P. M, sixty soldiers and seventy carriers had gathered under his command. He then retreated in i the darkness, picking. up enough fugitives in the course of his retreat to bring the total up to about 300 men. About 250 of the duh and ï¬le were left dead on the ground, including nearly all the German officers and. Lieut. Von Zelcwski, the leader of the ex~ pedition. Ten Europeans were killed and nearly all the rifles and baggage were lost. The forlorn column which returned to Zanzibar re orted that they had left 700 of the enemy and on the ï¬eld. There is good reason to believe, however, that they were in no position to ascertain the extent of the damage they inflicted upon the Wahehe, and it is probable that the estimate of the losses they inflicted is much aggravated. The Germans have not yet taken any steps to punish the “’ahehe, though they must do so if they expect to hold their own in East Africa. It will be a costly under- taking, but the probability is that before many months the Wahehe will receive so terrible a drubbing that they will be careful how they try to annihilate another white expedition. _ Mr. Von Bulow, an officer just returned to Germany from East Africa, says the Wahehe richly deserved the punishment which Lieut. Zelewski had been sent to inflict. For months while he was stationed at Mpwapwa rumors came every dav of Wahehe attacks upon caravans. Some of their chiefs and other influental men came to Mpwapwa where Von Bulow tried to induce them to behave themselves. They repeatedly promised to keep the peace, and then went away, and on the next day Von Bulow would probably hear that some new cars.- van takiug ivory to the coast had been at- tacked and that those who could not escape had been murdered. Unfortunately he had not force enough to punish the maraudcrs for these outrages. He says the great weakness of tlic Ger- man expedition was the fucn that it was compelled to follow a. single narrow footpath. and thus was scattered over along distance, instead of being in a compact body when the enemy made his unlooked-for-attack. BIG ANIMALS BECOMING EXTINOT. New Facts About the Alarming Decrease of Large Game in Africa. An article by Mr. Brydcn in the last Pro- ceedings of the British Zoological Society says the days of the giraffe are numbered. A few years ago herds of seventy or eighty of them were often met in various parts of Africa. Mr. Brydcn says that ninctccn iraffcs are nowa large herd. They have been hunted so mercilessly, both by natives and foreign sportsmen, that they are rapid- ly becoming extinct. The intelligent African King Khama has, however, taken the giraffe under his protec- tion and hopes to save it from extermina- tion. He has forbidden the hunting of the giraffe in his large domain, and in this way he hopes they Will multiply in his country. It is an interesting fact that Russia has preserved the European bison from extinc- tion by setting apart a forest of Lithuania. , for them and permitting no one to milcst them. ' Recent explorers in southwest Africa say that the fauna has changed greatly during the last thirty or forty years. Dr. Henry Schlichter, in a paper he read before the British Association a few weeks ago, says that antelopes, lions, buffaloes, rliinoccrcscs, giraffes, and other large animals which were met with in abundance when the country was ï¬rst explored are no longer to be found in any part of southwest Africa on account of their ceaseless slaughter by European hunters, as well as b the natives since the latter have possesset breech-loading guns. The most important among these animals, the elephant, has wholly disappeared from this part of Africa, except in the neighbor- hood of Lake Ngami. Anderson, one of the early explorers of this region, said that 1,200 pounds of ivory could be bought at Lake Ngami for a musket. According to Livingstone, in three years not less than 000 elephants were killed near the littlc'Zonga lichr alone. How much their number has diminished is shown by the present very small ivory export from Wal- tish Bay, which amounts to about 1,500 ounds per annum, while in l875 it was as l _ “wwwh .. anew“; HCMEJ . :mm...
