One dajr I went ashore w.th sev- •fal of the midshipmen. on liberty; that is to say, we had the day all to ourselves, free of orders, to do what we pleased, provided we were not up to mischief. The Commodore chanced to he ashore a» tbe same time. As we walked along one of the streets we saw him on the other side of the way, a tali, handsome man, with dear eagle eyes, and a decided coun­ tenance. Coming from an opposite direc­ tion. we bebeid a youth of 17, one of the foremast hands, walking as if intoxicated. Usually, Henry West-- such was the name of the hoy--was.. a sober, well-behaved lad, wbo had never yet been punished for misbe­ havior. We divined at onoe that, for the list time in his lite, he had, by older shipmates, been pttrsuaded to drink. He was a delicate youth, who had Just recovered from a bad fever. Which for several weeks had con lined him to the "Sick Bay"--an apart­ ment on the berth-deck for the ac­ commodation of the sick. This lad was the son of Tom West--an old boatswain's mate, whom the Com­ modore valued more than any other petty officer in tbe ship, as he had been wit/h him on several voyages, and had the houor of piping a Whis­ tle aboard the old Constitution, Which Bainbridge commanded, dur­ ing the action with the Java. ̂ Old West almost idolized his BOB. ; ^ 0e had never spoken a cross word to t$m in his life. I In bis turn, the hoy would obey Ills father's slightest wish--never do * anything to provoke him. "Ay, ay, he'll be commodore yet," . West would mutter to himself. *?Blast his eyes if he won't."

He walked u& and drawing the "cat" out of its sheath, began atrairfbtenin? the strings., There was his son right before him •--his poor wasted bade showing tha protruding bones which were to shrink beneath the painful lashes. I glanced alternately at old West and the Commodore. The poor boatswain's mate oom- pressed bis lips suddenly, and raised a hand to his eve& When he took it away, 1 saw two great tears in his sea-blue orbs. I saw his broad breast heave, as if he were striving to keep back the choking sobs that were ready to break forth. Ae to the Commodore, he showed no emotion that I could perceive. His countenance had the usual look of stern repose: his clear, piercing eyes gleamed unflinchingly. A moment there was a dead sllenoe; then the voice of the Captain we# heard: '•Go on, boatswain's mate!" Up went the dreadful instrument --the cat-o'nine-tails. Now tbe boatswain's mate stag­ gered as if about to fall, nearly over­ powered by his emotions--by the thought of thus punishing the deli, eate boy to whom he had never spoken a harsh word. But he must not shrink now. Up went the "cat" higher and higher. The instrument was about to de­ scend--the boatswain's mate would do his duty Hardened old fellows wbo had been aften flogged were seen to shudder-- many an eye was moist. "God forgive me!" muttered West, between his white lips. There was a rushing sound, and the "cat" whizzed through the air, but it did not touch the poor lad. Commodore Bainbridge caught the arm of the boatswain's mate in a firm grasp "That will do,** he sa!d, with a half-smiie "You are a trump, old fellow. I did this only to try you, my man, to see if you would do your duty to the last--(log your own son! 1 forgive the boy," he added to the Captain; send him forward, sir." He was obeyed. Not even the strict discipline of a frieate could keep down the men's enthusiasm. Their cheers rolled all over the harbor, and up to the very skies. "Cod bless yon, sir," began old West, wbo seemed ready to fall at tbe Commodore's feet. Then re­ membering bis duty, he saluted, and walked to bis place. Again I glanced at the Commodore, and really thought I saw in his eye the half-subdued expression of a joy greater even than that he felt when, with the old Constitution, be won the victory over the Java.--Boston True Flag. m'Wt'-m -.V f* •*! --Chicago Tribune.

Even as he spoke, the coxswain of our boat came rushing out of a nub­ ile-house bard by, and catching'the lad by the collar, dragged him offl. ; "Aboard with him at once!" said Itainbridge, and. coloring with dis- pfcaaure, he walked on. Hie result of this insult to the pom mod ore was a court-martial, #biph sentenced the youth to 100 tiwhee. "It'll kill him!--it'll kill html" muttered old West, wboee province it was to administer the cat-o'-nine­ tails. ; The old feiiow's heart was alamt itfoken.

His pastures rose steeply to tbe boM crag of Bed Hill; in front of him lay long, slender islands, like black steamers at an­ chor, and across the lake iose upon the view Black Mountain, White- face, Rattlesnake Hill, and Chocorua, varying all their tones with the pass­ ing hours. The young proprietor was a college man, and had pursued for a while some city occupation; but he had taken to farming out of pure love of it and not the worst severi­ ties of winter nad been able to daunt him He hoed with his men in planting-time, pitched hay with them in haying-time, and lugged his own heavy buckets of sap through the anow in early spring, ia maple sugar time It was a vindicate of the ideal, a testimony to tho world of actual, hard physical labor, which, for us, despite the disparagement of the indolent and the maledictions of the working-man who gets some­ thing too much of it,--is most de­ sirable, a beautiful, benetlcient thing. We please to marvel when a city person goes off heartily into the country, and yet the following para­ dox is true; namely, that it is city people wbo are precisely the best fitted for the country. Your average denken of the country has no appre­ ciation of natural scenery, never raises bis eyes to notice It, scarce knows that it exists; thus he suffers all the disadvantages of tbe country without its principal compensation.

One day he was accosted by a young clergyman, on the Bands of SuiiWuuKu, who without any spe­ cial introduction, and with but a brief preface, asked him for the vacant living of Spaxton, which was in Lord Thurlow's gilt. "Go about your business," saM bis lordship, with the accompaniment of several large oaths. "But l won't go about my busi­ ness," replied tbe intrepid divine, "and what's more, it becomes my duty, as a clergyman, to reprove you for swearing!" '•Oh, indeed!" exclaimed Lord Thurlow knitting his heavy brows, " • WaMli of Industry Would Bsndvs at the Word from Congress. Every American who has traveled is familiar with the spectacle of the loco­ motive engineer standing with his hand upon the throttle, waiting for the conductor's signal to release the mighty power that slumbers beneath his fingers. Every rod and piston, every valve and joint is in its place. The fire is hot in the furnace. The imprisoned steam giant is ready to leap into instant action and carry the ponderous train Hying through the country at fifty miles an hour. Yet for the moment the forces within the great mass oi iron and steel are chained and helpless. The wheels will not re­ volve until the hand of the engineer pulls open the tnrottle; the engineer will not move until he receives the or­ der of his official superior and knows that the road is clear. There is a remarkable similarity be­ tween this picture and existing condi­ tions of American industry. The vast and complicated industrial machinery representing hund eds of millions of capital, and affording1 when in opera­ tion a comfortable livelihooi to several millions of American citizens, is prac­ tically paralyzed. It is still intact, still powerful to accomplish its legiti­ mate task, still able to produce all the varied fabrics which are necessary to supply the wants of a great nation. American factories are not yet dis­ mantled. American looms and forges and mines are still maintained in a con­ dition of readiness for work. But manufacturers and business men are waiting for the news that the home market will be assured to them and that it is safe to go ahead. Let Con­ gress give the signal to advance by killing the Wilson bill; and within a single month every mill and spindle, every mine and foundry would hum with busy life ana vibrate with activity. Within thirty days there would not te an idle man in the United States who was willing and able to work. The specter of the armies of "Coxeyism" converg­ ing upon Washington to demand bread and work would vanish like noxious fog before the sunlight. American wages, American prosperity, American contentment, independence, and prog­ ress would be restored at once if it were known positively to-morrow that the Wilson bill would never pass the Senate of the United States. It is for Republican Senators to give the signal of release to waiting indus­ tries. It is for them to bring back confidence and employment, comfort, and plenty to the waiting millions of American citizens who anxiously scan the papers daily fcr indications unfa­ vorable to the Wilson bill. By united and resolute action they can keep the bill from coming to a vote until enough votes can be arrayed against it to:ki|ll it.

He is continually seeking to make politi­ cal capital by appeals and pronuncia- mentoes *.rldre ssed to the piactieal po itician.j of his party, in the mean­ time ignor ing the tody to which, un­ der the Constitution of the United Statas, he is not only authorized but instructed to convey from time to time information of the state of the Union, and to recommend for its consideration such measures as he may deem neces­ sary and expedient. A notable in­ stance oi this specialty of Cleveland's was seen u few weeks ago, when he ad­ dressed a letter to Chauncey F. Black, President of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, declaring that the best services of that association has been the enforcement and. demon stration of the truth that the Demo­ cratic party in the best organized and most powerful when it strives for prin­ ciples instead of spoils, and that it quickly responds to the stimulus sup­ plied by an enlistment in the people's cause.. This is the very midsummer madness »>f demagogy. Where or when,launder what conditions or at what moment, since Cleveland's last election, has t['e Democratic party striven for principles instead of spoils? With a complete working majority in each house ?f Congress, and with a Presi­ dent dictating the policy of the party throng his and devoted cuck'jon, Congress has accomplished lit-orally nothing in the line of Democ­ racy as expounded by tbe Chicago plat­ form; and yet President Clevelano, in­ stead of sending a message to Congress reoroacjiing it for its failu re to Carry out its, pledges and abide by its pronaises k writes one of his celebrated phraueful letters to the Presi­ dent of *,Le National of Democratic Clubs, uungratulating him on the ievotion of the Democratic party to principle. The people of this country, no tn&iter what their polities may be, have had enough of Groror Clevelmd. To Scare Timid Senators. A Wa hington dispatoh gays that rumors have been floating around the Capitol for some time that "the pro­ tected interests proposed to spend hun­ dreds of thousands of dollars, and mill­ ions if necessary, to prevent the pas­ sage of the tariff bill with its income tax amendment," but that it has been ascertained dednitely now that at­ tempts have been made to bribe Senator Hunton of Virginia and Senator Kyle of South Dakota. It is alleged that the proposition was made t j the son of the former and to a friend of the lat­ ter. The individual wh) has designs on the virtue of the South Dakota Sen­ ator is alleged to have said that he represented a business syndicate which would be willing to spend a million to beat the bill. On the face of it this story is absurd. The "protected interests," which did not think it worth their while to con­ tribute to the Republican campaign fund in 1892, are not running around now with million-dollar eorruptl- n funds to defeat Democratic tariff legis­ lation which is leveled really at their employes and not at them. Unless unimpeachable evidence oin be produced showing that Bincerely meant efforts have been mads to bribe these two Senators, it will have to be taken for granted that the sole object of this story is to bring pressure to bear on the other Populist Senators to vote for the last Democratic tariff bilL Such methods of influencing vote? have been tried before with success. A timid man will vote against his con­ science because of his fear of being charged with having cast a corrupt vote.

The smaller sizer aie already reduced enough to form the moia e, but the larger ones are crumbled be power­ ful machines, then carefully screened so as to get an even grade of the size jdesired. The particles are then mixed with a composition of cement and other materials, and the mass is moldsd while soft into the desired shapes. Lying about one sees vari­ ous molds for table tops, brackets, urns, mantles, cornices, paper weights, etc. When the mosaic has hardened it is smoothed and polished like solid marble, and takes a mirror- like finish. The various colors ot the marble are made to appear to great advantage by contrast in some arti­ cles. For instance, a checkerboard will be laid out in the squares of red and black, alternating, on a table top ot gray marble. The matters claim that the composition will last for a long time out of doors, and it has for a long time been used already (more particularly in the West; where it was first introduced) for building fronts, cemetery vaults, tombstones, etc. It will be seen that the marble mosaic has a great advantage in the way of cheapness over solid marble work. The material costs much less than solid marble in tbe block, while the work of molding, admitting as it does of indefinite duplication, is a less expensive process than cutting by hand. While many may be skep­ tical about the durability of marble mosaic as an outdoor building ma­ terial, there is a good demand for the small articles finished for indoor or­ naments.

"We can be young but once," is capable of more than one interpretation, as they seem to forget • - •• •' J .. •Vv/"-".

And what do you imagine the professor of this new science studies In order that he may tell you what you are or are not? Your old shoes! The doctor exam­ ines a shoe which has been worn for at least three months, and draws therefrom the most marvelous de­ ductions. He discovers "between the lines," energy, apathy, anger,-- in short, all your weaknesses, large and small. For instance, if the toes and the soles are used evenly, It be­ trays energy upon tbe part of a man. With a woman it denotes fldelltv, family love, and order. If the ex­ ternal edge of the sole Is p inch PI'lv used it shows In either sex ob­ stinacy and aggressiveness. * If the * Bfreaeuraig mataly boon tbe ia*lde ; He Was JBIsewhere. Men of great learning may fa'rly claim the right to be absent-minded. They live in a world of Ideas, and naturally are more or less oblivious of things of time and sense. The dor Mommsen, the famous historian of Home, had not only the appearance but the manner of scholar. No man, perhaps, was ever more absent-minded than he. He walked the streets of Berlin like some stranger from another world, not see­ ing his most familiar friends unless they stopped him by force and ex plained to him who they were. unce during the half-hour's drive from Berlin to Cbariottenburg, the car in which the professor rode went badly off the track. The rtyt of the passengers alighted, the horses were removed, and tbe stranded car was left until help could be found. Mommsen remained, reading his book. An hour passed, and the sound of levers and jacks and the plunging of horses' hoofs aroused him from-his reverie. With no sign of discomposure, he rose from his seat and went to the door. "Ah," said he, "we seem to have come to a stand-still!"--Youth's Com­ panion. . ... , Sheet iron. * The thinnest iron sheet Itt tft© world has within the past few weeas been rolled in Swansea, Wales. It is twenty-five centimetres long and fourteen wide. Its thickness is ex­ actly .005 millimetre. One may get an Idea of this '•thickness" by corn- oaring it to that of silk paper, which is ordinarily .02 millimetre thick. Some iron manufacturers have ad­ vertised that they make visiting cards of thin Iron plates.

It was not until 9 o'clock that control - was gained over the fire. The fire burned over about eight acres, 200 buildings w. re destroyed and 2,000 persons were rendered homeless. None are reported burned to death, but fif- teen or twenty injured persons were taken to the different hospitals. Owing to the nature of the buildings burnea tho loss will not exceed $<500,000.
