A-WAITINXJ THE CONQUEROR.
Arthur Hugh dough. 1
Hope evermore and believe, O man, for e'en
as thy thought
So are the things that thou seest; e'en as
thy hope and belief.
Cowardly art thou and timid? They rise to
provoke thee against them.
Hast thou courage? Enough: eeetherf ex
ulting to yield.
Yea, the rough rock, the dull earth, the wild
sea's furyinr waters,
(Violent, sayfst thou, and hark! Mighty,
thou think'st, to destroy?)
All, with ineffable longing, are waiting their
invader;
All, with one varying voice, call to him,
"Come and subdue?1
Still for their conqueror call, and but for the
joy of being conquered
(Rapture they will not forgo) dare to resist
and rebel.
Still while resisting and raging, in soft under
tones say unto him:
"Fear not, retire not, O man; hope ever
more and believe.
Go from the east to the west, as the sun and
the stars direct thee,
With the great girdle of God, go and en
compass the earth."
The Unfinished Man
uscript. Arkansaw Traveler.
Some time ago the writer visited
Prof. Gailnet, of Little Rock,. Ark., and
while sitting in the library, engaged in
conversation with the entertaining gen
tleman, observed a roll of manuscript
tied with a strip of black cloth. We
asked him if it was something designed
for publication.
."It will never be published," he said,
and began to unroll it. u See how it
ends," and glancing at the bottom of
the last page we read the following:
"While he sat alone, deeply musing, a
hearse passed the house, and n here
the sentence broke off. Requesting, al
most imploring, the professor to tell us
the history of the curious manuscript,
he finally consented.
"I came to Arkansas when I was a
voung man. One night I sat in my
library writing a story for a magazine.
I was in good health and had cause to
feel elated over the success I had jrist
attained by the publication of a small
volume of sketches, but still I felt the
heavy weight of melancholy depression.
I arose and walked out, but soon re
turned, not experiencing any change.
I bent myself to the work of writing a
dreary story and worked with surpris
ing rapidity until I wrote, ' A hearse
passed the house and ' Here I stop
ped. A strange presentiment told me
that I would never finish the sentence.
Next day I took up my pen to finish it,
but I had not touched the paper with
the pen when a piercing shriek caused
me to spring to my feet and rush from
the room just in time to see a horse, at
tached to a buggy, dashing wildly to
ward my gate. A frightened woman
was in the buggy and I rescued her. I
put my manuscript away and deyoted
mvself to my new acquaintance; our
friendship grew into love and finally
we married. Then followed ten years
of happiness. I did not tell my wife of
the unfinished manuscript, but one day
she found it and begged me to finish it.
I did not like to confess my foolish
fears, and finally I told her that I
would. The next night, after my wife
had gone to bed, I took down the story
and read it over. I would finish it for
her sake. I took up the pen and was
just in the act of touching the paper
when my wife called me. I ran to her
and found her in a dying condition,
having been attacked by rheumatism of
the heart."
" Have vou ever attempted since to
Bnish it?
"Yes. After my wife had been dead
for several years X aeterminea one
niaht to finish the storv. I went to the
desk, but had no sooner dipped my pen
in the ink when a noise in an adjoining
room attracted my attention. Hurrying
into the room I found my son lying
on the floor dead. He had always been
in wretched health and had committed
suicide."
"Do you ever expect to finish the
storv?"
.. .jf ... . . . .
1 expect to try again. It is impos
sible for me to remain superstitious,
even though I may have a powerful
cause for doing so. Of course, all this
would have happened even if I had not
begun the story. I think that next
Tuesday night, if I feel like it, I shall
devote myself to the completion of the
work, for I desire to see it in print
Come up and see me start off."
We were busy when Tuesday night
came, and cowardly confession were
not sorry that something kept us away.
Early Wednesday morning we hurried
to the house where for years the pro
fessor had lived. The horrible thought
seized us that he had taken up his pen
to finish the story and had fallen dead.
Some time elapsed before we had the
courage to knock. at the" door. At last
we rapped.
No answer.
Another rap.
No answer.
With blood almost at freezing point,
and with hair standing erect, we shoved
open the door. The old man sat lean
ing back in his chair, eating pie.
"Come in," he said cheerfully. "You
see I have just finished that story, and
it gave me an appetite for pie. l'ie s a
good thing to eat after you finish up a
story, but you want to wait until you
are through writing."
"Did you hear any strange noises?"
we asked, "when 'you began to write."
"Well, yes. A calf over in the ad
joining yard bawled for a while. Oh,
yes, you are thinking about that story I
told you some time ago. Why, my
dear fellow, you should not have been
so foolish as to have believed me. I
never was married you know. Have
some pie."
Darwin on Theism and Evolution.
Pall Mall Gazette.
The following letter from Charles Darwin
appears in a work just issued :
"Down, Beckenham, Kent.
"Dear Sib: It seems to me absurd to
doubt that a man be an ardent theLst and an
evolutionist. You are right about Kinsley.
Asa Gray, the eminent botanist, is another
case in point. What my own views may be
is a question of no consequence to any one
but myself. But, as you ask, I may state
that my judgment often fluctuates. More
over, whether a man deserves to be called a
theist depends on the definition of the term,
which is much too large a subject for a note.
In mjrmnTtreme fluctuations I have never
been an atheist in the sense of denying the
existence of a God. I think that generally
(and more and more as I grow cider), but not
always, an agnostic would be the more cor
rect description of my state of mind. Dear
sir, yours ithf ully, Chas. Darwin."
What He Didn't Think or.
Cambridge Tribune.
Longfellow said: "In this world a man
must be either a nail or a hammer." The
poet did not think of bellows when he wrote
that sentiment.
Dried apples are used in Kentucky for
making apple-jack, but the beverage must be
stored in stone jngs or glass bottles, as it will
eat out of a wooden barrel.

Anecdotes of the Kings
for a Day.
"Vera" in Kansas City Times.
It is a scant wonder, though, when one
conies to think about it, that when men who
have toiled and delved nearly all their lives
and never succeeded in scraping together as
much as $100 at a time were suddenly masters
of $10,000 or $20,000, their greatest trouble
was to know what to buy first. The luxury
of purchasing intoxicated them, and no won
der they bought diamonds before dinners.
There is an old story and it is likely a true
one that one blustering winter night
a miner who had just made a big
haul was standing on street corner
in Leadville, when a hollow-eyed woman,
clutching a ragged shawl about her shivering
shoulders, drifted up and stopped irreso
lutely. There was famine in her eye and
desperation in her rags. The miner was un
used to ladies' soci-av and felt embarrassed,
but he felt also that she was in distress, and
in the flush of his prosperity and bigness of
his heart he wanted to do something for her.
Finally he said:
" Wait hero a minute, missus; Til beright
back." i
In a short time he returned, and pressing a
bundle into her hands, hurried away before
she could stammer out her tearful thanks.
The outcast onened the package eagerly. It
contained a pair of silk stockings.
Among the people I knew around the camp
was a man named Ed Braden, who divided
his time between reporting on a newspaper
and prospecting, and who loved to tell what
good and noble and sensible things he would
do should he happen to strike it. When for
tune did smile on him one day, he launched
immediately upon several enterprises not con
templated in the original prospectus. Among
other vagaries he became enamored of a
vivacious little soubrette who was playing at
the opera house, andranged a unique and
remarkable testimtpnal to her beauty and
talents. At great expense he procured from
Denver some twenty or thirty hot-house
bouquets. The holders of these he had
weighted with a leaden spike point down
ward, so when it was thrown upon the stage
it would stick in the boards and stand erect.
His idea was to precipitate the whole number
at once when the soubrette made her appear
ance, and, to use his own language, "trans
form the stage into a bower of roses." To
this end he had a number of friends stationed
at different points in the audience, each bear
ing a deadly bouquet.
The curtain rose, the actress tripped on,
when bang! bang! bang! the flower-decked
missiles hurtled through the air. The poor
girl, who had read something of wild west
ern ways, thought it was a plot to kill her,
and fled to the cellar, from which she had to
be subsequently dragged by main force, utter
ing piercing shrieks. The Braden party
were all somewhat inebriated and the more
enthusiastic fired their bouquets with such
reckless aim that one of them hit the leader
of the orchestra on the bald head, and he
had to be held by two men while the gore
was being mopped off and explanations
made. All went a great ways toward
marring what might have otherwise been a
pleasant occasion. This is a fair specimen of
the pursuits in which Braden spent a very
decent fortune and succeeded in three brief
months in getting back into scrub-journalism
and prospecting again.
A contemporaneous gentleman of fortune
was Capt. Connors, well known to all resi
dents of the camp. He has often told me the
story of his first "stake." He received $40,
000 for his interest in some mineral property,
and it was paid to him at the back in four
rectangular packages of bills of $10,000 each.
The captain had kept his good fortune a se
cret from hi, wife and he hurried home to
tell her. She was sitting down after a hard
day's work, and without a word he dropped
the armful of greenbacks in her lap. It was
a loyal and touching thing to do. For a mo
ment she sat paralyzed with astonishment,
and then, hugging the mass up to her, she
sobbed out:
"Oh, Tom, how dirty they are! Let me
put them in a tub and wash them."
"Do it if you want to, dear," he replied,
with a. tenderness that it would be well for
other rich men of Colorado to emulate, "but
you will never wash anything else again."
One of these kings for a day, I can't recall
his name, but a subsequent trial in the crim
inal court of Lead TiH e in 1881, created quite
a sensation, made a lucky strike that netted
him $30,000 in cash. He at once wrote to his
wife of his good fortune, and intended to
leave for his home the following day. That
evening he was taken in tow by a couple of
these couriers of crime, and 'in less than two
hours was gambled out of every dollar. He
made a complaint to the police, and the
larger portion of the money was recovered,
but too late, for, hopeless and distracted, he
had locked himself in his room and committed
suicide.
It was by no means the rough and illiterate
who succeeded in making the most glaring
idiots of themselves under the stimulus of
sudden fortune, but a degree of prior cultui-e
seemed to ha .e the effect of adding a sort of
weird and eccentric variety to their freaks.
A miner aimed Luke Fuller, a graduate of
Bowdoin and a man of really brilliant mind
and wide information, one afternoon, en
tirely unanticipated by himself, consummated
a sale that placed in his bands over $10,000.
It was to be supposed that three or four years
of grinding poverty had given him an appre
ciation of the value of money, an 1 be had
never been known to drink or dissipate in
any form. To the surprise of everybody he
went on a monumental spree which he wound
up by taking four or five boon companions
on a sort of triumphal tour into the east.
The party stranded in Chicago and the next
time I saw Fuller he was in Saul's saloon de
stroying a free lunch and furtively watching
the bar-tender.
Another man of his stamp, known by a
good many in this city, too. awoke one day
to find himself tolerably affluent, and in the
midst of an unusually fantastic celebration,
a ride around was suggested. The host in
sisted that for the purpose of observation
the glass sides of a hearse were peculiarly
adapted and two were hired. In these the re
velers esconced themselves and played poker
on the bottom while the paralyzed xpulace
looked aghast.
The lucky ones formed a sort of ark toe
racy, and I do not recall anything more ex
traordinary off the burlesque stage tlian the
soirees they used to give. Big, hulking fel
lows, who didn't know a quadrille from a
quadroon, would amble around the hall in
dress coats made in Denver, and their fingers,
unused to gloves, sticking out, separate from
each other, like radiating rays from a central
sun of white kid. Many of them were, in
deed, whited sepulchers, and would not stand
too close analysis, even into their raiment.
On one occasion, while in the midst of a set
of the "Prairie Queen," a gentleman b -came
enraeed at his "opposite," and incautiously
peeled off his swallow-tail to mop the waxed
floor with him,revealing thereby the mortify
ing fact that his collar, shirt-front and cuffs
were hollow and detached shams, ana mereiv
pinned to the blue flannel shirt that long asso
ciation as a miner had made him loath to
part with. A bosom friend of this gentle
man was a gaunt, raw-boned farmer's boy,
who had wandered into the west and whom
sudden riches bad dragged out of the obscu
rity of prospect hole, stuck a diamond in his
bosom and dropped down into the midst of
the ultra aristocratic circles. He distin
guished himself at his debut. A young lady
remarked to him that her sister had a pen
chant for water color painting, and he
promptly replied:
"Why, kbi they get one for that! My old
man applied fur one fur a wound he got at
Shilo, but the pesky government wouldn't
give it to him 'cause he'd lost his discharge
papers."
The Modern Coquette.
fMaud Howe in "A Newport Aquarelle. "1
The forms of coquetry are infinitely varied,
and some of them are much more reprehensi
ble than others. The woman who undertakes
conquests simply for the glory of displaying
at the wheels of her chariot the captive sne
holds by the rosy bonds of . love, is the com
monest type. As her coquetry is of the most
patent kind, its wounds are rarely severe or
lastine. and yet there is a certain vulgarity
about this spirit of conquest which makes
this type of woman dangerous to both men
and women.
A more subtle and disastrous influence is
wielded by the woman who is bent on the
scientific analysis of the various effects pro
duced by the tender passion on men of differ
ent character and nature. She has little
pigeon-holes marked with different charac
teristic names, and into these she classifies
every new. specimen. She is apt soon to dis
cover that the pigeon-holes may bo very few,
and that nearly all the men she meets will fit
exactly into one or another of them. When
she has arrived at this conclusion she is satis
fied; two or three good specimens of every
sort having been coolly analyzed and properly
pigeon-holed.
Another class, perhaps the most dangerous
one into which we are dividing coquettes, in
cludes those women who fancy themselves in
love with each fresh lover. They are emo
tional and sympathetic women', who, being
incapable of strong feeling themselves, are
borne along by the force of a passion which
fascinates them, and which they would gladly
reciprocate. In their often renewed disap
pointment at finding that the new lover can
not make them forget themselves, they feel a
sense of injustice and never dream that they
are not the injured ones.
Beeeher and the Book Agent.
New York Cor. Chicago News.
Henry Ward Beeeher spoke in his talk this
evening of men blessed with wit, humor and
imagination, who, when troubled, could take
themselves out of these circumstances, like a
candle out of a candle-stick, and set them
selves down somewhere else Jo be happy. A
man who had a proper sense of humor was
like a wagon with springs he did not jolt.
Mr. Beeeher knew how that was himself.
Such a man was able to cast aside moody
thoughts and fears. A man who claimed to
be an English clergyman came to Mr.
Beecher's bouse. . Mrs. Beeeher saw him,
and told Mr. Beeeher that he was very in
sulting. When Mr. Beeeher came home an
other time the man- was there. He was a lit
tle man, and sat in the parlor purple in the
face.
"I sent you a book," he growled. "Did you
receive it!"
"I did."
"And you were not gentleman enough to
acknowledge the receipt of it. I think your
wife is no lady."
"Walk, "gaid Beeeher.
"You.sir, turn me"
"I took him by the neck," said Mr. Beeeher,
"and rushed him out. I was not angry ; I was
burning up. When I got back in the room it
was so absurd that I lay right down on the
floor and laughed. Suppose 1 had kept mad.
Imagination, wit, and humor help one to
grace. I have leen criticised because I made
people laugh. If I made them cry I suppose
it would be all right. The bible don't
say so."

This administration may not make much
impression in a general way, but it will leave
a record in history in one way, at least. This
is the peculiar style of hats worn, of such
original shapes as if some principle were in
volved in this eccentricity. The president, in
the first place, has a hat- made on a block of
his own fashioning. The crown is about four
inches higher than the prevailing styles in
silk hats, while the brim is flat and very
wide. He has a white cassimcre felt made
on this block for summer wear and a silk one
for winter wear. The president is so tall
that his hat elongates him -in a most dis
tressing way. He loves an old hat. He is
still wearing his old summer hat, although
its ghostly whiteness these cold fall days
gives one a chilL He and Fred Douglass are
the last men in Washington who are base
enough to still wear a white hat.
Even Brewster has given up the piratical
yellow hat and its mourning band with
which he entertained the people at the east
ern watering places this summer. Folger has
worn a little straw hat all summer, and occa
sionally wears it yet, varying it with an old
soft black hat ten years old, or a hard Derby
hat of the style of the last century. Freling
huysen, great in his deportment, wears a
black silk the year through. He keeps up to
within three years of the style. Lincoln
wears new and fashionable hats. Chandler
wears hats that no resj)ectable junk-dealer
would buy. Gresham wears a silk hat with
nap carefully brushed ranger fashion all
the wrong way while Teller smashes a soft,
seedy black hat down over his sharp hawk's
face.
TACKS IX BEEF.
New York World.
Housekeepers and others should
carefully inspect the beef they pur
chase for home consumption. "a new
danger lias arisen, from which very
serious consequences may bti appre
hended. The shippers of dressed beef
in the west have begun to use a small
double-pointed tack, somewhat larger
than those used for fastening down
mattings, in the place of wooden
skewers for more firmly binding to
gether different art3 of the beef. The
retailers, through neglect or ignorance,
fail to remove the barbed wires, and
being small they remain invisible until
some unfortunate diner is well-nigh
choked by their lodgment in his throat.
Two Philadelphia ladies met with just
such an accident, and the services of a
physician were necessary to remove the
wires, which had become firmly em
bedded in the epiglottis, causing, as
may be imagined, the most intense
pain. Thorough mastication will, of
course, disclose their presence in the
meat; but the average American rarely
indulges in that preliminary operation.
A VALUABLE DISINFECTANT.
New York Sun.
A disinfectant introduced to the med
ical profession by the late Dr. Goolden
has been used in London eight years.
Half a drachm of nitrate of lead should
be dissolved in one pint or more of
boiling water, and two drachms of com
mon salt in a bucket of w ater. Pour
the two solutions together, and let the
sediment subside. A cloth dipped in
this and hung up in a room will sweeten
a fetid atmosphere instantly, or the sol
ution thrown down a drain or over a
heap of rubbish will produce a like re
sult. Clothing worn by a patient with
infectious disease, or bed linen, can be
put at once into this solution without
injury to the material, thus destroying
the risk of infection for those persons
who wash the clothing. Although it is"
a strong poison taken internally, it does
not injure the skin. A room could be
scrubbed with the solution, and would
be sweetened at once by the process.

$20,000 GONE!
San Francisco, Cal. The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following mar
vel: Captain W. F. Swasey, the oldest
pioneer of the coast, makes a statement of
the intense suffering of his friend Colonel
D. J. Williamson, an army officer of dis
tinction and an ex-United States Consul,
who was attacked in the winter of 1801-2
with violent rheumatism. So great was
his agony in after years, he became a help
less cripple, and after trying numberless
remedies, the baths of other countries and
spending a fortune of $20,000, the disease
seemed to assume a more virulent type.
Finally, he was persuaded to try St. Jacobs
Oil, the great conqueror of pain. It worked
a miracle of cure. In a letter to the Chron
icle he confirms Captain Swasey's state
ment and adds: "I cheerfully give my un
qualified Jattestation to the truthfulness
of the statement, because I feel perfectly
certain that a knowledge of my cure by St.
Jacobs Oil will prove the means of reliev
ing hundreds of sufferers."
