C, August 2i The Census Office lias published a bulletin ufon the production of pi? iron 10 the United States. This subject was in the- charge of Dr. Wm. M. Sweet, of Philadelphia. The. introduction to the report says: , "The development of the manufacture of pig iron in the United States during the ten years from 1880 to 1890 has been phenom enal, and at the present rate of increase in ' production this country Is destined soon to become the leading producer of pig iron in the world, possibly reaching this distinction in the calendar year 1890. During the cal endar year 1889 the production of pig iron by Great Britain, which has annually pro duced more pig iron than any other country, is shown by official statistics to have been 8,231.563 tons of 2,000 pounds. It will be Been from these figures that the quantity of pig iron produced by the United States, during the census year 1890 was 258,216tons in excess ot the production of Great Britain during the calendar year 1889. No statistics are available for tne output of pig iron by Great Britain during tlie 12 months ended June 30, 1890, so that comparisons cannot be made for the sane period as that covered by the census statistics." AX MfOESlODS INCREASE. He also shows that the production of pig iron during the year ending June 30,1890, was the largest in the history of the iron in dustry of this country, amounting to 9,579, 779 tons of 2,000 pounds, as compared with 3,781,021 tons produced during the census vear 1880, and 2,052,821 tons during the census year 1870. From 1870 to 1880 the in crease in production amounted to 1,738,200 tons, or nearly 85 per cent, while from 1880 to 1S90 the increase was 5,798.758 tons, or over 153 per cent. The following table shows the production of pig iron in the various sections of the country in the census years 1870, 1880 and 1890. in tons of 2,000 pounds. The statistics for 1870 and 1880 are for the census years ended May 31, but for 1890 they cover the vear ended June 30: Districts. 1S70. 1BS0. j 1890.

The relative rank of the various States is seen to have undergone many changes since 18S0. Pennsylvania still retains its leader ship as the producer of about one-half of the pig iron that is annually made in theUnited States, producing 51 per cent of the total production in the census year 1880, and over 49 per cent in 1890. Ohio was second in rank in both 1880 and 1890, the output of pig iron in the former year being over 14 per cent of the total production in the United States, and in the latter year over 13 per cent. Alabama, which occupied tenth place in 1880, with an output of 62,336 tons, is now the third largest producer oi pig iron, the production sf this State in 1890 amounting to .890,432 tons, an increase of more than 1.328 per cent over the production of 1880. Illinois, wnich was seventh in rank in 1880. is fourth in 1890: and New XiTk, -union wm third jjisn, ouEi liith place in 1890. Virginia, which was seventeenth in rank in 1880, is now sixth; while Tennessee has gone from thirteenth to seventh place. PBODUCTIOJT BY STATES.

Notwithstanding the tact that the pro duction of pis iron has increased from 3.781,021 tons of 2,000 pounds in 1880 to 9,579,779 tons in 1890, the total number of completed lurnaces has decreased during the 10 years from 681 to 562. Many lumaces which were in the active list in 1880 have since been abandoned, owing to their in ability to-profiublv compete with the larger, better located, and more modern furnaces of the present day. At the close of the census year 1890 the total number of blast furnaces which were active or likelv to be some day active was 562, of which 169 were anthracite or an thracite and coke furnaces, 253 cok eand bituminous coal furnaces, and 140 charcoal furnaces. Of the total number of furnaces at the close of 1880 there were 229 anthracite or anthracite and coke furnaces, 195 coke and bituminous coal furnaces, and 257 char coal furnaces. In the decade from 1880 to 1890 there is seen to have been a decrease of 60 in the number of anthracite or anthracite and coke furnaces, a decrease of 117 in the number of charcoal furnaces, and an in crease of 58 in the number of coke and bituminous coal furnaces. Of the 562 completed furnaces at the close of the census year 1890 there were 338 in blast, 110 anthracite or anthracite and coke furnaces, 165 coke and bituminous coal furnaces, and 63 charcoal furnaces. The number of furnaces building at the date mentioned .was 39, of which 9 were in Virginia, 7 in Alabama, 5 in Pennsylvania, 4 in Illinois, 3 each in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Michigan, 2 in, Maryland, and 1 each in GeorgiaOhio, and Wisconsin.

The greatest activity In the development J cf the Southern pigiron industry during the past decade is seen to have been in Alabama. This State produced in the census year, 1890, almost one-half of the pig iron made in the South, and was only exceeded in production in the United States by Pennsylvania and Ohio. Virginia and Tennessee now occupy, respectively, second and third places among the cigiron-producing States of the South. Excepting West Virginia and Maryland, nearly all the pis iron made in the South is produced from Southern ores, and of the quantity produced by the use of mineral fuel mocli the larger part is made from Southern coke. Most of the pig iron made in West Virginia is produced from Lake Superior ores. In Maryland the recent building of four large coke furnaces by the Pennsylvania Steel Company at Sparrow's Point. ne.r Baltimore, to smelt iron ores fromCuba, has suddenly brought this State more'promineotly forward as a manufacturer of pig iron. Two of the furnaces were blown in during the census year 1890, and of the other two one is completed and ready for operation. INCREASE TS THE -WEST. In the six Western States which produced pig iron in the census years 1880 and 1890 there is also seen to have been a large in crease in the production. The following table &ives the quantity of pig iron, in tons of 2.000 Dounds, made by each of these States, in the years named, with the percent age of increase or decrease in 1890: 1830. 1890 Pc inc.

PKOPOETION MADE FEOM COKE, ETC. The foregoing figures dearly exhibit the important part that bituminous coal and coke have taken in the growth of the pig iron industry since 1880. The larger pro portion of the production of pis iron cred ited to this luel is made from coke alone. A few furnaces use raw bituminous coal only and their production is included in the total for coke and bituminous coal. In the use of anthracite coal alone as a blast fur nace fuel there is seen to have been a marked decrease since 1880, while the pro duction of pig iron in tons of 2,000 pounds, exclusive or castings, made direct irom the furnace, for the fiscal years ending May 31, 18S0, and June 30, 1890, was: From anthra cite coal and pig iron, 1,826,667 and 2,202,356 tons respectively; from coke and bituminous coal, 1,515,107 and 6,711,976 tons respective ly, and from charcoal, 435,018 and 655,520 tons respectively. ' The following statement gives the pro duction of pig iron, including furnace cast ings, in the various districts of Pennsylva nia and Ohio during the census year 1890, in tons of 2,000 pounds: Pennsylvania Dehigh Valley, bv anthracite coal and coke, 726,995 tons; Schuylkill Valley, by anthra cite coal and coke, 499,914 tons"; Upper Sus quehanna Valley, by anthracite coal and coke, 200,979 tons; Dower Snsquehanna Valley, by anthracite coal and coke, 640,717 tons; Juniata Valley, by coke and bitu minous coal, 185,395 tons; Shenango Valley, by coke and bituminous coal, 624,529 tons; Allegheny county, by coke only, 1,438,840 tons; miscellaneous, by coke and bituminous coal, 377,235 tons; all furnaces in the State using charcoal, 17,937 tons. Total, 4,712, 511 tons. BESSEMEE TIG IRON. the United States during the census year 1890 amounted to 4,233,372 tons. Of this quantity Pennsylvania made 2,567,813 tons; Illinois, 616,659 tons; Ohio, 465,649 tons; New York, 174,574 tons; West Virginia, 101,178 tons; Maryland, 77,754 tons Mis souri, 68,629 tons; Wisconsin, 43,728 tons; New Jersey, 41,479 tons, and all other States a total of 14,904 tons. The production of spiegeleisen'in the cen sus year 1890, which is included in the fignres of total production of pig iron, amounted to 149,959 tons, as compared with 12,875 tons produced in the census year 1880. Four States made spieeeleisen in 1890, viz., ifew Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Colorado, while in 1880 only New Jersey and Pennsylvania were engaged in its man ufacture. SMALLPOX BAMPAHT. Hundreds Djinc Monthly and No Attempt lo Arrest the Spread. CnrcrxxATi. August 22. Mr. Warren Garnet, of San Antonio, Tex., is in the city. He had just come from Mexico, after a lengthy stay in the State of Coahuila, one of the most Northern States of the Bepublic Most of this time he spent in Saltillo, the capital. "The State is ravaged with small pox," said he. "In its extent and its fatality it exceeds almost any scourge of the same disease which has visited the United States. Hundreds of persons die in this one State monthly. So isolated are some of the cases and the districts in which thev occur that a person is almost led to be? lieve that even the high death rate which is given to the public does not include all of the victims. The epidemic is confined to no one particular locality, but the seeds of the deadly disease have been scattered abroad throughout the entire State. Poor sanitation was the cause of the disease. The authorities have taken no precautions to ?revent the spreading of the pestilence, 'ublic burials of the victims take place every day. This has had more to do with the epidemic than any other thing. Bodies of the dead are carried publicly through the streets, and the germs of the disease are spread all over the city. When a person dies of smallpox the body is placed on a board and carried on the shoulders of four natives to the burial ground. The face of the dead is exposed to the breeze, and the wind pass ing over the body of the deceased carries the pestilence to all parts of the city. Within the past three months over 1,200 persons are reported to have died of the smallpox in Coahuila, and the number of new cases is constantly increasing. No at tempt at quarantine has been made against this State by either the United States or other Mexican States, and there is nothing to prevent the extension of the epidemic. The wealthier natives have begun to leave the country, and the seeds ot disease are bound to be carried with them. Indeed, when our train passed through Hattiesburg, Miss., I was informed ot a case ot smallpox there which originated from this source. The victim was a young Mexican girl "who had been taken ill there. Her brother was with her, and he readilv acknowledged that he had jnst come from Satillo. The Mississippi anthorities are taking every caution to pre vent the spreading of the disease, and have quarantined against it. A SUICIDE'S TOUCHING LETTER. A Tonne Lndr Takes Morphine and Asks to be llnried In White. LocULNSrOET, Ixd., August 22. Miss Sarah E., daughter of Dr.McKaig, of Noble township, this county, suicided in this city this morning by taking morphine. A touch ing letter was found under her pillow ad dressed to C. W. .Buchanan, a Panhandle brakeuian, of this city, and a former lover or the unfortunate girl, in which she asks that she be bnried in white with a bunch of forget-me-nots.

Important Changes to ba Made in the Laws of the Order. FIGHT FOE STATU KEPEESENTATION To-night the delegates to the thirteenth annual session of the National Council of the Daughters of Liberty will leave over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for Salem, Mass., where the National Council convenes next Tuesday. Among those who will go are National Vice Councilor James W. Mc Cleary, of the Southside; Deputy National Councilors C B. Wylie, John Zimmer, Captain J. T. Clow, A, F. Means and G, E. Kepple, and the following representatives: Jennie Bobson, Unity Council; James "Parke nnd wife, Margaret A. Duschane; A. Mi Drum, Pride of Wm. Thaw; A. !. Martell and T. T. McCoy, Lady Harrison; Miss Martha Bieskor, Jane Gray; C. T. W., and Miss Alice A. Cooper.Pittsburg; Mattie V. Clark and H. M. Woods, Lady Lincoln; Oscar Logan, Allegheny; Mrs. J. A. He trick and Mary K. Jeffries, Lucy Webb Hayes; Wm. S. Charles and Hettie Seese, Fidelity; S. A. Duff and Miss Olive Blozier, Pride of Aliquippa; W. J. Young, General Putnam; Mrs. J. T. Clow, Pride of Manchester; Mr. and Mrs. 'Fred Ertzman, Hazel wood, and Mr. and Mrs.F. D. Thompson, Pride of the West. This will be the most important session that has been held for several years. Mat ters of importance to the growth of the order, particularly in Pittsburg and the West will be up for consideration. An amendment to to the general laws making it possible for all States having five or more councils to take out State charters, will be acted upon. At present all subordinate councils are under the jurisdiction of the Natipnal Coun cil and each council is entitled to two rep resentatives in that body. Should State councils be established the representation to the National Council would be through the state councils, and the membership of the NationalCouncil would.be greatlyjdecreased. AGAINST THE AMENDMENT. The Western councils, and particularly those on the Southside, are almost a unit against the amendment The members fear it will open up a way through which States not wishing to take out charters could re tain a large representation in the National Council and control legislation. An effort may be made to pass the amendment in snch a shape as to compel all States havinc 15 i rnnnriM to jage nm niaip, .rnri,pra,.ann,u. this fails the wnole amendment will be de- , nnd if nil be de- feated. Another amendment depriving past councilors admission to the national council will be considered and it is the gen eral opinion that it, too, will be voted down. The appointment of a National Organizer to assist the National Councilor in spread ing the order in new States is strongly urged -by Western members, and the indications are that the matter will be acted upon favor ably. Several other matters, of importance only to members of the organization, will occupy the attention of the session. The election of officers will be of interest to the local members. James W. McCleary, a young merchant of the Southside, is the only candidate so far lor National Councilor, and as he is the present National "Vice Councilor his chances for success are considered good. He is well known in the American Mechanics, having been an active member of Smoky City Council for several years. He repre sented the council in the State body two sessions and served on State committees both years. He acted as chief marshal of the Mechanics' parade in 1888. He has been a member of Unity Council, D. of L., since it was organized. SOMETHING ABOUT THE OEDEE. The Daughters of Liberty can properly be called an auxiliary to the Junior and Senior orders of the American Mechanics, although it Is in reality under the jurisdictson of the National Council, O. U. A. M., in con junction with the National Council, D. of L. The objects of the order are similar to those of the Mechanics, being to promote social intercourse and mutual Improvement, visit the sick and distressed, perpetuate American principles in harmony and con junction with theOrder of United American Mechanics, and to promote the happiness and prosperity of the order in general. All members in good standing of the O. U. A. M. or Jr. O. U. A. M.. together with any white lady of American birtb, or born under the protection of the American flag, be tween the ages of 16 and 45 years, if of good moral character, are qualified for membership. The order has grown very rapidly within the past year. The last session of the National Council was held in Pittsburg, after which the work was taken up by the Juniors and great vigor was added to ' its progress. At least 25 new councils have been organized in Western Pennsylvania since the last session, and a proportionate amount of progress has been made in almost all of the States where the order is known, which is about 13 in num ber. The delegates who leave Pittsbnrg to night will stop, on the way in both Wash ington and New York, to see the sights. They will be joined in ttjel metropolis by a party of 40, who will go with them via the Fall Biver packet line to Boston. Mrs, Alice P. Love, of New York, hts had charge of the arrangements for the transportation of the delegates from there, and is said to have everything complete. A Sociable Tramp. Greenfield Letter In Springfield Republican, I When Mrs. William Hall, of Chapman street, was doing her morning work the other day she found that a tramp had slept on her best bed through the night without troubling to take off his boots, and had stolen a ring and a lew trinkets before leaving. How he got into the house is not known, but It is thought that he went in before the house was locked up in the evening. Menseit Woman In Chelsea. Cbelses'Eecord.: The meanest woman in Chelsea has been found. She engaged a poor washwoman at 15 cents an hour and during the job set the clock back an hour. The trick was discov ered, and the mean woman's husband paid the proper amount, declaring that he had been known as a mean man himself, but this beat any of his performances. . Jamet W. McClearj. VEBMOHT 00150 BACKWARD. The L'ensns Likely to Show a Decrease to Popnlntlon Since 1SS0. Springfield BepubllcanO The statements that have gone out through the columns of some of the metropolitan journals to the effect that Vermont has gained in -population during the last decade are not likely to be .verified by the official figures, Which will soon be pnblished. The gains in the larger towns, which were relied on to offset the material losses in the agricultural districts, will doubtless prove insufficient to bring the total up to the figures of 1880. The so-called "farming towns" will prob ably show a loss even beyond expectations. Two counties at least, Grange and Windsor, both of which, are largely devoted to agricultural pursuits, will show a large filling off in population, the loss being reckoned at 6,000 or 8000,Jwhile Bennington and Addison counties, on the west side of the mountain, suffer similar losses, though possibly not quite so heavy in the agzregate. Only 58 ot tne JAt towns in tne mate show a gain in population. Essex county leads in the number of towns which have made gains, having eight. Butland and Washington follow, with seven and six respectively. Four counties show gains only in two towns each, while six counties show an in crease and eight counties a decrease. Of the four counties, Washington, But land, Chittenden and Essex, the former shows the largest gain (chiefly attributable to the granite town of Barre); the others gain relatively in the order in which they are named. Two towns each in Benning ton, Grand Isle, Orange and Windsor coun ties show gains. Lamoile and Windham counties 'have three towns each in which there has been an increase in population, Brattleboro, Bockingham and Dummerston being the three towns in Windham county also showing gains. These figures prove pretty conclu sively that Vermont's population' has not increased as a whole within the last decade, and the returns now in the hands of the State Supervisor will, it is feared, show a decrease, notwithstanding the tact that the large towns show material prosperity and an increased population, with every indica tion of future growth, which, as heretofore, will possibly be at the expense of the agri cultural districts. 8TBANQE SCENE IK EDEN. A Watchman's Ziivelr Experience With a Rollicking Cow. Cincinnati Enquirer. Watchman Pat Brazell, of the Garden of Eden, had an hour's experience yes'terday which he won't forget until the day when he shuffles off about 300 pounds of this mortal coil and adds his sub-bass with its coupler attachment to the angel chorus. Mr. Brazell was pondering weightily over some important matter yesterday morn ing, when he heard soft footsteps approach ing, and, looking up, he saw a cow with in nocent fawn-like eyes and a tail like a pump handle gazing mildly at him. The cow was breathing a hot, passionate breath, and had a rope about 50 feet long attached to the long horns that decorated her front. "So, boss," remarked the watchman, in a soft, persuasive tone, "I got t' get this quaderped out o' here, if I drive her my self." The cow said never a word, but gazed sus- piciousiy at .air. .tsrazell, wnile He gathered up a yard or two of the rope and wrapped it about his band. Then she suddenly de cided to go over and look at the reservoir, and started off at a Salvator gait. Mr. Bra zell went with her. She was a notional creature the cow was and after loping 100 yards with the watchman's portly lorm galloping madly in her wake, she concluded to retrace her steps. Pat was not expecting this more, but he managed to slow up, and the race was recommenced with the watchman in the lead. Again and again the cow changed her course," now dragging Mr. Brazell with mammoth, strides unwillingly after her, now chasing him until his weighty abdomen IHIIIwJ I8fa iiliii !! ww . ,wnt in, li .i J, tracks to get out of reach. Pat wouldn't Ch; DUI let go, and the game was kept up for the bovine's amusement for nearly an hour, when the watchman was fairly exhausted and dropped despairingly on the ground. Then a boy who had been enjoying the sport came up, and seizing the rope from Mr. Brazell's nerveless hand, let the cow quietly out of the park. DIV0ECED AND And the Wife Again buing for Separation " Willi Bis Ailmonr. Washington C. H., O., August 22. O. B, Mnnger and his wife, who became welt-known throughout the country a fer years ago on account of their eccentric views on religion, are in trouble again. It will be remembered that Munger was adjudged insane and sent to the asylum at Columbus, his wife testifying against him. She was divorced from him and he was afterward re leased from the asylum. He wandered all over the United States and Europe, letting his hair grow to great length and presented a strange appearance. He finally settled down at Anderson, Ind,, and soon accum ulated a fortune in real estate speculations, etc. His former wife seemed anxious to remar ry him, and about a year ago went to An derson and they were tied np again. Munger has recently fallen heir to a large estate, and now she wants the court to grant her another divorce with big alimony. When the first divorce was granted Mrs. Munger got about all her husband's prop erty. I Gloncriter lien's Queer Family. Cape Ann Breeze. Daniel Parsons, who resides on the old Salem road, has a cariosity in the shape of a hen which has adopted a litter of five kit tens. The kittens have but just reached the open-eyes period, and will follow the hen around the yard, she diligently scratch ing meanwhile for the festive worm or bug, as the case may be, which she tenders them as food as she would her chicks. Wh en the kittens begin to cry, the hen will tnetc them under her wings, where they rest Serfectly contented. Not being endowed y nature with the means of feeding her charges, it has been found necessary to cap ture the hen and tie her up while the mother cat attends to her business in this line. At all other times she has full sway, being valiant even to blows in the protection of the children of her adoption. Bis Curiosity Snll.fled. Jlontello Letter In Brockton Enterprise. 1 That the daughters of Eve do not possess, a monopoly of curiosity is pretty well sus tained by a circumstance which recently oc curred in this locality. Some boys were playing with a turtle, one of the snapping species, when one young lad thrust out his tongue to see whether it would bite. The turtle promptly carried out its pare of the programme, if being fonnd necessary to forcibly remove its hold from the lad's tongue, which was quite severely bitten. Unlventty President Chosen.

LIKELY TO COME TO JUDGMENT. Some Interesting Facts Concerning Growth of Charchos. GLEANINGS FE0JI CHDRCH FIELDS A generation ago heresy hunting was a favorite pastime in orthodox churches. The preacher -who kicked out of the traces and asserted bis individuality, by departing from old-time beliefs and methods, at that day called down upon himself the anath emas of those who stood for the faith once delivered to the Baints. In recent years the drift has been toward toleration and a re spect for the rights of the individual. Arthur Helps has furnished this aphorism: "Tolerance is the only real test of civiliza tion." The spirit of the age in which we live is favorable to a large toleration as to religious beliefs. Churches are no longer, as in days gone by, disposed to crucify those who step aside from the old beaten paths and assert their individuality. The old-time method of dealing with heretics was a resort to the fagot and dungeon. But those days have passed away, and heresy hunting is no longer a popular game as it was in the days of our fathers. Still, there are lingering on the blink a few who are possessed by the spirit of the past and are ready to ostracize the brother who dissents from the traditions of the elders. Prof. McClurkan, of the Beformed Presbyterian Seminary, of Allegheny, it seems has become an object of suspicion in his denomination. THE CITIZEN'S PEIVILEOE. The Beformed Presbyterians of the Old School, to which Prof. McClurkan be longs, have, as one of their principles, that a Christian cannot become a voter becanse our Government is not Christian. Prof. McClurkan, it is claimed, believes and teaches that there is nothing vil in assum ing citizenship, and hence has become an object of suspicion, and the charge of heresy has been preferred. The end is not yet. It is highly probable that the trouble will re sult in the departure of Prof. McClurkan to some other Presbyterian fold. ' It is plain that he cannot much longer re main as a minister and theological teacher in his church with any degree of comfort. A large element ot his denomination are already calling for his removal from the professorship. When the heresy hunters get fairly down to their work it is only a question of time when the hunted will be forced to transfer his allegiance. GEOWTH OP THE CHURCHES. The Independent presents a summary of the statistics of the Christian churches of the United States, comparing it witn the one which it gave a year ago. In most cases a numberof organizations areincluded urAer one title; as, for instance, there are 16 different bodies classed as Methodists, and 13 as Baptists. The number counted as Boman Catholics includes the entire popu lation, while in the other denominations only communicants are counted. The of ficial statement of the Propaganda at Borne, just issued, makes the number of Boman Catholics in the United States somewhat less than is here given, 8,168,688. Some small bodies, snch as the Plymouth Breth ren and the Christadelphians, are left out. The summary is as follows: -1889- -1890- Chs, Com. Chs. Com. Advents Baptists Christian Union.

The session for 1890-91 will open on Tues day, September 16, for the matriculation of new students, and on Wednesday, the 17th, at 1030 A. m., Bev. Prof.M. B. Biddle will deliver the opening address in the seminary chapel. The prospect for the incoming class is very fair. A special attraction for the coming session, both to students and the public generally, is the course oi twelve lectures to be given by Bev. Dr. A. M. Fairbairn, Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford, England. .The course will be free to all... Dr. Pairbairn is widely known and honored in this country and at home for his large scholarship and his ability and elo quence as a publio speaker. The lectures will be given between Sep tember 25 and October 4 inclusive, one or two each day. Pull notice of the place and hour of each will be given. It is antici pated that a part of the course will be given in the city of Pittsburg, in some central and public place. The United Presbyterian Seminary, of Allegheny, seems to have struck a snag in the elfort to fill a vacant chair in that insti tution, as appears from the following clip ping from this week's United Presbyterian: The nomination hy the board of Rev. O. J. Thatcher for the chair of Church History and Hnmiletics in Allegheny Theological Seminary being unsatisfactory to many, the name of the Kev. M. G. Kyle, of Philadelphia, will be pre sented in the four synods hiving control of the seminary. Mr. Kyle's suitableness for the position lies in his higb scholarship, his special study of the history of Christianity, his ex perience as a teacher, his efficiency as a preacher and pastor, and his positive United Presby terianlsm. J. M. Fulton, Chairman ot Committee. General Cbnrcb Noted. THE Moody meetings atNorthfield have been a greater success this season than ever before. Mr. Moody is evidently at his best. Following Is an extract from one of his recent addresses on "Glory? "But bettor than coming to glory ourselves, is bringing others "bringing many souls unto glory.' The joy of saving others is greater than the joy of being saved. A man who had just been sent to his bed with a.brotten leg received a basket of grapes from a kind xriend. Bat-he bethought bim of a neighbor who bad been lotfg sick, and sent them to him. Sick man No. 2 thought of a sick man No. 3, and) sick man No. 3, all unconscious of the early history of tho grapes, sympathizing with the sick man No. 1, of whose accident ho had jnst beard, sent them to him. Each found it more blessed to ctve than to receive, to help than to be helped." Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, of Elmira, was atSeattle the other day, and, after a humorous chat with a reporter, said: "And now, young man. If you put anything at all in your paper about me just say: 'Rev. T. K. Beecher, ot Elmira, is in town and Is going he doesn't knowwheref Don't want to write it in that way? Why but that reminds me of a story. Some years ago a young man named Plympton came to Elmira to take charge of a paper. I was in the habit of publishing my church notices in the paper, and one Saturday night the pas gave out and gave promise ofstaying out for a day or two. So I ran over toPIymp ton, and said: "Jnst say, "Services as nsual, oxceptins tne gas." 'Shall I publish It just that way?' said Plympton. 'Certainly,' said I, and I left bim. He didpablish it that way, and on the foliowineiday narrowly escaped being tarred and feathered at the hands of a com mittee of my deacons who thought he was ridiculing me." raster and People.

This Time It Wai Issued by Mayor Wyman, of Allrsbeny. Kate Beitzel was yesterday released from the workhouse by Judge Magee, on a writ of habeas corpus. She was arrested by Officer Hoag, on the Seventh street bridge, on Angust 16, just as she was about to com mit suicide, it was claimed, by jumping iuto the river. Mayor Wyman committed her to the workhouse for 90 days. In the petition for her release it was stated that she was a girl of good character, and has worked in Allegheny as a domestic for six or seven years. It was denied that she attempted to commit suicide, and her com mitment was claimed to be illegal. Judge Magee at once ordered her discharge. Thinks He Was Misrepresented.

Hill of Potatoes In Her Pocket. Portland Press. There is a hanging garden in Auburn which, although in its infancy now, may grow to rival those of Babylon the mighty. A Mrs. Bryant, of Auburn, hung up a calico wrapper, in the pocket ot which was a potato, a year ago. She did not nse the wrapper till one day i last week, when she discovered a whole hill ot potatoes in her pocket. There were seven or eight perfect little tubers.

If a wasp's nest is laid bare in November, three distinct kinds of wasp will be seen small neuters or workers, now few in num ber, middle-sized stingless males, and from 200 to 300 large wasps. The latter are the queens or fertilized mothers, and alone sur vive the winter. Some few of them remain in the nest, bat' the greater proportion of them hibernate in warm and sheltered spots, In nooks and crannies, in the (batch of cot tages or straw ricks. With the bright snn of March they are revived to life and ac tivity, and then may be seen about every hedge bank,eeking for a suitable hole in the ground, where each may fonnd a vespiary or commonwealth, says a writer iu the Olobe Demoerat. Having chosen a spot, the queen at once commences to scoop out the soil and carry it away in her jaws, and soon a vaulted chamber is made a foot or more be neath the ground. Next she proceeds to old stumps and decayed woods, from whence she nibbles small fragments of woody tissue by means of her strong mandibles. These she carries home in the form of small rounded pellets, masticates them thoroughly, mingles them with glutinous saliva, and finally manufactures a strong kind of paper. Unlike the queen bee, whose sole business is to lay eggs, the queen wasp has to work hard all daylong. With the paper she makes she twists a strong cord, which is fixed firmly to the roof of her abode. She then makes a cell at the other end of the cord; around this she proceeds to build many other cells, and in each of these she lays an egg. In due time the eggs are hatched, and footless grubs emerge; these pais through the larva and pupa stages, and eventually a young colony of wasps is started. Hence forth the queen leaves the nest no more. The wasp exhibits as much ingenuity in making her nsst of paper as the bee her comb of wax, but ibey start on a different footing. The bee is famished with wax se creting glands, but the wasp can only ob tain her building material by hard work. A PAIS KLDNAPEB. How a Diplomatic Long; Branch Girl Wooed nnd Won a Dude. He adores this young woman, bat he don't know how to tell her, writes a Long Branch correspondent of the New York Herald of a couple at that resort. He palpitates ferociously, and his sash draws with emo tion when she dances with another young man; bat as he cannot dance, he must sit and palpitate; he takes her to get soda, and he treats her to a box of candy, but still he does not speak. She has re solved that he shall. So last night, when everybody had left the veranda, she said: "Indeed, ma, the air is too damp for you." The mother thought it was; and so tod dled off to bed. Then that girt, with a de liberation worthy of a census taker, said: "Samuel, I don't wish to make unpleas ant remarks, bnt people are talking about us." And Samuel, smoothing his sash, said: "That seems a pity." Then this diplomat mnrmured, "Oh, Sam uel, would you In your great strength per mit this?" And Samuel, having the strength of a poppy and the vanity of a peacock, says: "Certainly not," and the pursued again re marks: "Samuel, after this we understand each other as only two loving souls can you may kiss me." Samuel is the color of a corpse, and he performs the kiss mechanically still he does it This sounds like romance, but no, on my honor, it occurred in the drawing room of the West End last week. A DESPEBADO CAUGHT. Ono of the Leaden of the Perry County Outlaws In Custody. LOUISVILLE, August 22.
