SUMNER'S STRENGTH,
Tfce BeaLarkaUs phjr.lcal Pow.r. of
she
famous Senator.
Mr. Samner stood six feet two Inches
high without his shoes, and he vrm so
well built that his height was ouly no
ticeable when he was near a person of
ordinary size. But there was a man
ner about him, a free swing of the arm,
a stride, a pose of his shaggy head, a
sway of hU broad shoulders that gve
to those who knew him best the idea
that he was of heroic size. Then, too,
there was something in the Intent look
of his deep-set eye, his corrugated
brow, the frown born of intense
thought, and his large head, made to
seem yet larger by its crown of thick.
heavy, longish gray hair, all of which
gare the idea of physical greatness;
but with his frequent smile the set
frown passed, his whole appearance
changed, and his face beamed like a
dark lantern suddenly lighted. His
smile effected a wonderful trantfonna-
tion in his whole appearance, and it
set np a peculiar sympathy between
himself and its rcctp"ent
For one of his sedentary habits, he
had extraordinary strength, and yet he
was not an athlete. While in Wash
ington his only exercise was walking,
and as he believed it was the pace
rather than the distance that Udls,
when opportunity offered he would go
at a rate that amazed beholders. Some
persons attempting to join and keep cp
with him only succeeded by taking an
occasional hop, skip and jump, such as
children practice when walking with
their parents. Up to the time of his In-
unes he walked much in Washington.
for, as ho said, he could outwalk
omnibuses, and give them long odds.
Ue was hardly aware of his enormous
strengthen was so seldom called into
exercise. His books were packed in
large boxes at the end of each session
and sent from his rooms to the Capitol,
only to be returned at the beginning of
the next session. These boxes weighed
nearly fire hundred pounds each, and
were difficult to handle in passages and
stairways, and ao were accompaniel
by four men. Once when he was liv
ing at Rev. Dr. Sampson's, one of these
heavy boxes got stuck in the stairway.
It could be extricated without damage
to the walls only by lifting it over the
banister. The four men failed to apply
their strength to the most advantage.
for they got in each other's way, and
thus failed to move the box. The Sen
ator, hatted and gloved, ready to go
out. came down the stairs.
Why don't you lift it over the rail?"
said he.
How can we?" answered one. "You
have no idea of its weight"
"Let me try," said the Senator.and,
leaning over the rail, he seized the
rope becket at the end of the box and
lifted the latter clear of its entangle
ments by one sure pull, splitting his
g'ove, however, across the back. The
men . were amazed; and he, a little
embarrassed, said: "I didn't mean to
lift it, only to try its weight;" and then
went back for fresh gloves. Cormopol

DRESS WELL, NOT GAUDY.
Why Every Warns. Should Array Herself
In Kent and Tasty Garments.
The day will soon come," says a
well-known leader of fashion, when it
will no longer be a slur on a good wo
man, old or young, to say she thinks a
good deal of dress; she attaches enor
mous importance to aesthetics." While
it remains a good motive to give others
pleasure and spare them disagreeable
shocks, the rule, must hold good in
every department of life. "The day
will soon come when it shall be s recog
nized duty to conceal what is offensive.
when slight deformities of limb and
skin shall be avowedly disguised by art
and great and startling deformities
shall cease to disgrace our publio
streets. It is one of the duties of life
to grease the wheels on which we drive
as far as ever that- is consistent with
other duties, and most people must
judge for themselves how far that is.
It is as easy to dress well as ill.
since dress we must. Absolute uncon
sciousness as to how she looks is im
possible to any woman, since every eye
tells her unbidden; therefore, indiffer
ence to appearance is inculcated. It is
natural to wish to please in all ways by
kindness and a pleasant manner or,
at least, not to displease. How deli
cately Goldsmith distinguishes his two
types of innocent and admirable wo
manhood! Differently lovely, Olivia
was often affected from too great a de
sire to please; bourne even repressed
excellence from her fears to offend'
one vanquished by a Bingle blow, the
other by efforts successfully repeated.'
Very beautiful women are seldom
vain. They are so used to their own
beauty that they do not think much
about it, any more than a man thinks
much about his rank or profession when
not engaged In his duties. The vain
woman is the one who has been un
fairly disparaged. Undue self-consciousness
is the revolt against injustice
and like all revolts is disagreeable.
Were all women acknowledged to have
each her points, personal as well as
mental, and allowed to cultivate them
in a sensible and simple spirit, there
would be less envy and malice, less
vanity and wasted time, and more in
nocent pleasure throughout life. But
a pretty woman who leaves her mind
nncultivated her mind and heart for
the sake of her body, that is the illus
tration of the 'jewel of gold in the

The Canadian Pacific overland
sleeper, leaving Vancouver, and pas
senger car were thrown off the track,
tumbling down an embankment thirty
feet high at a place between Grassette

of the accident was a broken rail and
the fact that the train was trying to
make up lost time. The drawing room

and considering that the car was a

that beyond a few cut. and bruises all
escaped uninjured.
A Montgomery, Ala., special tells a
horrible story of the burning of two
colored men. They had assaulted a
young white woman, and were cap
turt-d by a poese of farmers. The young
woman identified them on sight. A
trial was had and the people decided
that the two men should be burned to
eath. A log pile was built on the
tide of a public road, and the negroes
were chained each between two heavy
logs and then the four logs were chained
together, bo that the wildest contor
tions of the wretches could not shake
them. A Ere was kindled, which roon
blaz d up and enveloped them. Their
wnthings and ecreainn were not heard
long, fur the flames soon put an end to
ife.
The trouble with the Crow Indians
is ended. Gen. Ruger gave them one
hour and a half in which to consider
his demand to surrender. They re
fused, and a red-hot skirmish then re
sulted, in which Corporal Charles
Thompson wjs killed, Private Eugene
M alloy slightly wounded, and I rivate
Clark thrown from his horse and his
shoulder dislocated. A running fight
ensued, the Indians retreating, some
lo a peaceful gathering near the agency,
and others crossing the river and tak
ing to the liills. "Sword bearer" made
a final stand at the crossing of the Lit
tle Horn, about one mile b low the
agency, in which, he and probably
three of his followers were killed.
' Swordbearer's " body was brought in to
camp, but the other Indians are only
reported dead. Most ot the Indians
circled about and returned to the
agency, mixing with the oilier camps.
There are now supposed to be from
twenty to fifty on the outside.

The explosion was followed by a fire,

Newman and his family lived over the
