On the 12th inst., Allen G. Tbur.
man, whom the Democrais of Ohio,
delighted to call the "Old Roman,''
died at Columbus, Ohio, from the af.
fects of a fall that he met with saver
1 weeks ago. His life proves that'
there is nothing in the superstitious
belief that the cumber 13 always
makes an unlucky life, for the one up
on whom it fall, for he was born on
the thirteenth of November 1813.
'Isaac Ringel and Isador Wels re
ceatly addressed the following com
xnunication to the New York Timet :
A man having an estate valued r.t
$30,000 died. He left surviving him
a wife, who was about to become a
mother. If she should have a boy,
she was to get one-third of the estate
and the boy two-thirds If she
should hove a girl, the woman wag to
get two.thirds and the girl one-third.
How, 6be had twins a boy and girl.
Wbat was each one's share equally
divided?"
There are 70,000,000 people in the
United State. The Cleveland Ad
miniitration has almost completely
broken up their manufacturing indus
tries. Where they ara cot broken
up, the manufacturers have boon
compelled to run their works at the
rates of European manufacturing es
tablishments and that inoanu reduc
tion of wages, reduction iu prices of
raw material and a drop in the price
of everything. Now if the country
continued to work under Republican
tariff, things would be different. The
70,000,000 people would be at work
making their own goods and wares
instead of getting theinfrora Europe,
prices of everything would be better,
and the people would be prosperous.
Tke Christians everywhere are
horrified over the cruelties that the
Turks are inflicting upon Christians
in Armenia. The rule of the Turk
would have been completely broken
years ego, if Christian England had
not interfered every time that Christ
ian Russia attempted to break the
power of the Tnrk. So then the in.
Bolxnt pswer of the Turk has been
supported by certain Christians for
the purpose of keeping other Christ
ians from extending the lines of their
dominion and influence in that part
of the world. The Turk would nat
urally have no respect for Christians
after euch a sample of double-dealing.
If Christian Russia had not
b-n interfered with by Christian
England, the Turks would have long
since been subdued, and the recent
wholesale murder of Christians in
Armenia would not have taken place.
Sues a state of affairs never before
existed at Washington ts when Con
gress convened, and for ten dajs
thsreafter. The Premdent went
duck shooting and his Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. Carlile. did not
send in the customary financial state
ment of the affairs of the country.
After the President has come home
from his duck shooting trip; has tak
cn a pinch of snuff, and sneezed, it is
presumed he and the Secretary will
condescend to send to Congress, a
financial statement of the financial af
fairs of the Government. Of what
moment is it to the President, that
the Government under his Adci.uia
tration, has gone into debt over a
hundred million dollars with nothing
to show for it. Of what moment to
him is it, that the business of the
country has been so run down that
there is no profit in it. He ean shoot
ducks on his $50,000 a year salary,
and the suffering business can wait
till he returns, for his statement of
the financial affairs of the Government.
Murder for Money and Lust-
How u ant men in the United States,
just now fo'.lsw murder for money,
and how many follow murder for lust
is not known, and will not be known
until the white light of the Judgment
Day shines on their lives. But at no
time has society generally been more
startled by the awful depravity that
prevails among a certain clas of well
educated men than is rsvealed h the
trial of the murderer Holmes in Phil
adelphia, and the murderer Hay ward
in Minneapolis and the murderer
Darrant in San Francisco. Holmes
professed friendship and love and
murdered men and women for Life
Insurance money. Hay ward profess
ed love and murdered a woman for
L'fe Insurance money. Durrant pro
fessd friendship to gratify lust, and
when ho was checked in his purposes,
murdered the woman who would not
yield to hie desires. Of the three, he
-was the only one that had church con
nection. The lives of the three men
'who each represent a class of men
it is feared in too many places iu
the United States, is worthy of the
closest invebtigation. People who
live outside of influences that devel
op such men, can scarcely believe
that it is possible that such debased
people live, and they would not be.
ieve that there are such me a in the
world of the debased people did not
prove by their acts that they are here
busily engaged on their wicked mis
sion. Subscribe for the Snrranrx. asd

It isn't a wonder that President
Cleveland had to go duck bantiag af
ter his message in which be failed to
tell Congress that the existing tariff
laws do not provide sufficient revenue
for tho necessary expenses of the
Government. Such an intentional
omission as that is enough to make
any man feel nervous when he stands
in the light of his own acta before
the country. He felt that he ' was

question.

AMBER GLASS.
A cnnlSTMAS STOBT.
Copyright, 1S0S, by American Press Associa
tion. In Lonisvillo I met old Colonel Hablin,
and he urged me to go home with him.
"My people are all off on a visit, and
yon know what it is for a sociable old
fellow to be left alone, " said he. "And,
by the way, yon may not know it, bnt
I have one of the most attractive places
in Kentucky, rambling old house, built
by my grandfather, and all that sort of
thing. Wait now before declining, for
I nrart mention a stronger Inducement,
one that a gentleman can hardly with
stand mint under amber colored glass.
Don't qnite catch that, do yon? I'll ex
plain, and yon must pardon me if I ap
pear to ramble a little. In Kentucky
during the latter part of the spring, all
of the summer and the first half of tho
fall, a clodhopper can live almost as
well as one of the bloods. And why? Be
cause he can go along the spring branch
and gather mint, can hong about a still
hocse nntil somebody gives him a quart
of liqnorto get rid of him, and then all
he has to do is to grab a handful of
6ngar, go away somewhere and live.
But during tho off time, when tho sharp
teeth of the frost has raked the earth, he
can't get the mint, and thorefore can't
live completely. Now, I have suffered
from this incompleteness of living and
have at last provided against it. I have
a mint hothouse, and more than that,
the sun rays are mellowed through am
ber glass, and" The old gentleman
snatched ont a red bandanna handker
chief and wiped his mouth. "Have yon
no handkerchief?" he asked, noticing
that I had not wiped my mouth. "What
sort of a man are yon getting to be? Bet
what do you say? Going with me?"
"Iam."
Upon, my shoulder he affectionately
laid his haud, unsteady with emotion,
aud looking straight into my eyes ho
said : "This world is going to the devil
as fust as it can, and when I meet a man
who is willing to turu aside and take
an interest in mo, why, I gad, it moves
me, Mr. Now I'll tell yon what we'll
do," he added taking my arm and turn
ing mo about. "We'll go out there and
have an old fashioned southern Christ
mas. On my place are a number of ne
groes that were born there, and to them
the revival of an old holiday memory
will be well, I hardly know what to
call it, bnt you shall see for yourself. "
Wo wont straightway to the railway
station, tho old niau talking incessant 'y
of his disappointment at tho weakness
cf Christmas in the north. I let him
talk. It was like the babbling of an old
and dearly remembered stream whose
channel is worn deep aud which holds
many a tendor recollection, many a rem
iniscent gurgle. I had known him dur
ing many years. Ouco he was in the
state legislature, and I as a newspaper
correspondent had reported hia speeches.
I liked bim, took tho kink ont of his sen
tence?, made hiin say things to pleaso
his people, and ho warmed toward me.
On the train I sat and watched him,
living in the past with him. An old
man's charm is to live in tbo past. To
be wholly of the present makes him too
worldly, a lover of money, aud a greedy
old man is a blight npon the face of the
earth. I sat and looked at this old man,
and I thought of the days when his lifo
was lordly ; when dusky hands clapped
in welcome at his return from school ;
when the music of his hounds aroused
at dawn his sleepy neighbors; when
proudly he led to the altar the belle of
the neighborhood. It was easy to review
his life. In a society forever gone his
place bad been secure.
It was dusk when we got off at a sta
tion. A negro who had just lighted a
lantern adjusted it as he came toward
"GO ON, YOU SCOUNHBEL!"
us. Tho colonel asked him if he had
bronght the buggy or the carriage. "De
carriage, sab," tjio negro answered.
"We 'lowed dat yon wan gwiue come
all deway home by yo'se'f, er, ho, he I"
The colonel laughed. "The old scoun
drel knows me," he said. "And you
knew that I'd como back sober, eh?"
"Oh, yas, sah, o' co'se I knowd dat
knowd dat you wau gwine drink dat
ousartin stulf up ynnder when yon'se
got do best at hon.c alongside o' mint
dat de sun's shincd oh throngh yaller
glass, er, he, he!"
"The scoundrel's v.'orking me for a
driuk," said the colonel.
Wo had now quitted the platform and
were walking toward tho carriage,
which we could see dimly outlined in
the deepening dusk. The negro was in
advance of ca. Uo turned at tbo colo
nel's remark, and I saw his white
teeth gleaming. "Ain no nse'n er man
tryiu ter hide his mind frum Mars
Lent," he said, jolting himself with a
laugh. "Not er bit er use, cazehn gwine
read er man's mind like one deze yere
books wid er luther kiver on it."
"Go on, you scoundrel!" the colonel
replied.
"Yas, sah ; dat's whnt I'ze doin."
"Anything been going on since I
toft?"
"No, sah ; not much. Sam Purdy an
Jim Bates got inter er squabble, an Sam
stabbed him, an de doctor say he ain'
gwine lib. "
"That so?"
"Yas, sab, an Miles Parker wua flung
be er colt day befo' yistidy, an da say
dat one o' his laigs got ter come off."
"Ton don't tell me?"
"Yas, sab, an ole Miss Nancy Lee
trod on er round stick an fell an broke
her hip, an da 'low she ain't gwine git
well, caze she so old."
"What I"
"Yas, sah, an Cap'n Bowles sont
face liar, an erbout sundown I seed Mr.
Hicks ridin toward de cap'n's house, an
dar's no telliu whnt has happened by
die time."
"Well, you've all bad a fins time
since I left. Hop op there now aud
drive us home."
The next day was the day before
Christmas, and how dreamily delight
ful did I find this old place. I fancied
that in every corner a romance was bid
ing. The loud creak of the old windlass
at the well was a cry from tbe past.
There had been killing frosts, bnt now
the air was softened with Indian sura
mer's hazy breath. At early morning
the colonel took me to see his mint bed.
The carriage driver hovered near us,
grim, sly, half laughing. "Look like
somebody dun spit tobacker juice on dat
glass," he said, and the old colonel
turned npon him. "If you don't go on
away and attend to your own affairs.
I'll take a stick to yon. But wait a
minute. You tell tbe niggers that I'm
going to give them an old fashioned
Christmas. Tell tbem men, women
and children to be in front of the big
house early in the morning. Do yon
hear?"
"Does I yere?" cried the old negro.
bowing almost to the ground. "Does I
yere? Did Moses yere it thunder when
he went up inter de mountains, sah?
Did Aaron yere de bells dat wua tied ter
his gyarments? I reckon I does yere, an
I thanks de Lawd."
Early the next morning, before the
winter birds began to twitter, I heard
the negroes assembling in front of the
house. The invitations had not been
confined to the tenants on the colonel's
place, bnt had included those who lived
on some of the adjoining farms.
The colonel was early astir. He
brought a julep to my room, and hand
ing it to me remarked: "Under amber
glass. Don't let that point get away
from yon. Listen at em down there.
Happiest people on the face of the earth
the only real philosophers. Do yon
know what I've got for them? Molasses
candy for the children and eggnog for
the men and women. You know that a
negro has always thought that to have
enough eggnog is to catch a glimpse
of heaven. We got up before day nud
made a wash kettle full of it. Drink
that. Amber glass. I'm afraid thut you
are about to let that point get away
from yon."
I assured him that I was not. I told
him that it was really Letter than tho
mint that grew along the branch, aud
this pleased him. "Ah," said he, "1
see that yon have not lived too long in
the north. Well, let us go down aud
open up."
What a day that was I With a yoke of
steers tho negroes drew nu enormous
hickory log into the yard, bored auger
holes into it, loaded tho holes with
gunpowdor and jarred the neighborhood.
Thoy ran foot races ; they danced and
sang strange songs. At noon they were
feasted and at evening they took their
departure, some of them wabbling as
they walked.
And now I have come to a mystical
part of this recital I have never be
lieved in the mysterious, have mildly
hooted at it practical owl, striving to
deal alone with plain realities but I
am impelled, even at the risk of being
charged with untruth, to tell of some
thing that occurred dnriug the night
that followed our noisy merrymaking.
Until Lite the colonel and I sat iu the
parlor, a room which once had been
richly adorned, but which was now
dingy with fad?d finery. I odniit that
we bad talked a great deal about the
amber glass. I confess that the old man,
as he sat in a rocking chair opposite mc,
became shadowy and uncertain. 1 ac
knowledge that I lay down npon an old
horsehair sofa. I had nothing to say,
bnt the colonel continued to-tallc He
told me that the north, with all its
wonderful resources, could not set up
that was his term could not set np
such a Christmas as the one we had just
seen. Of course mint could be raised
there under amber glass, eggnog could
bo made there, and hickory logs could
be blown asunder with gunpowder, but
no such a spirit of the past could be in
voked. I didn't argue with him. I
couldn't.
It must have been about midnight
when tho old fellow, getting up and
feeling about for something which he
did not find, turned to me and said:
"I'm going into the other room and lie
down. An idea for the betterment of
my country, sir, has just occurred to
me, and I must needs go and work it
ont You may go to your room or lie
there, just as you please. "
He fumbled his way out, and I con
tinned to lie there. My head was clear,
yet everything I looked at appeared to
have an amber cast, tho pictures, the
furniture, and especially an old harpsi
chord in the corner. It was cn ancient
instrument, with spindle legs and with
its feet turned under, as If it would
soften its weight npon the floor. I must
have dozed off to sleep, for I remember
that for a few minutes I knew nothing,
and then, opening my eyes, I was con
scious of a light in tho room, not tho
lamplight, for that had gone out not
merely tho moonbeams that fell in at
tbe window, but a luminous, hazy fog.
It seemed to float about. Yes; it was
floating, for it crossed the room and
hovered near the harpsichord. I knew
that it had no existence except in my
own fancy, and yet I watcbodit intent
ly. Suddenly I saw motion, quick, im
pulsive a low hanging sleeve, white,
lacelike swept above the keys of the
old instrument. And then there came a
soft and thrilling tinkle. Still I know
that it was a fancy, but I was afraid to
move lest I might frighten the vision
away. The tinkling ceased, and then
there came tho most marvelously beau
tiful air I ever heard, the love song in a
fairy's opera. In nearly all tones there
is a memory of other airs, but this
brought np nothing that I had ever
known. It was new in its delicious
sweetness. Over and over again it was j
played, and I lay there with my eyes
wide open, entranced. There was a sud
den darkening of tho room, aud tho mu
sic was hushed. I arose, and, walking
up and down, whistled the tune. I went
to the old man's door, still whistling it,
and tapped to arouse him, but his snor
ing was the only answer I received, so
I went back to the sofa and lay down,
the tone still running, like a sun reflect
ing rivulet, through my head. I dropped
to sleep and awoke with a jump. Tho
sun was shining. Tbe tune I I strove to
whistle it. Not a bar of it came to ma
Then it mnst all have been a dream,
and I was willing to let it go as a sweet
nightmare, but at breakfast the negro
that waited on tbe table asked me if I
did not try to wake the colonel during
the night ; said that he thought he heard
me tapping on his door. Then it was
sot a dream.
I said nothing to the old man about
the vision, bnt all day I strove to catch
that tune. It wouldn't come. And yet
I felt it, heard it humming deep within
myself. And thus it was day after day.
X have had a simple tune to rule me, but
at last I could fight it off, whistle it to
dullness, and then throw it away, but
this mystical air mastered me would
not let me whistle it nestled in mv

heart and hummed softly. Bnt the hum
ming gradually grew less, and one diy
it ceased. Aud then I wished for it back
again. 1 naa lost something.
Another Christmas was approaching,
and I wrote to the colonel, telling him
that he might look for me. "I don't
want any old time hurrah," I eaid in
my letter, "bnt I do want to sleep
on that old horsehair sofa one more
Christmas night, "
Tbe old gentleman's answer was full
of blotted exclamations. His people
were off again, he said, and he swore
that he was on the point of writing to
me when he received my letter.
I arrived Christmas morning. The
weather was cold, and we did not walk
about the place, but sat down in the old
parlor. Nothing had been disturbed.
There was the harpsichord and the sofa.
I waited for the colonel to parade the
virtues of amber glass, but on this sub
ject he was silent. I took out my pipe
and lighted it. Suddenly the eld man
became nervous. " '
"You don't object to smoking at this
late day, do you?"
"Oh, no, for I smoke myself, but if
it's just the same to you. won't you try
one of my clay pipes? That amber on
your stem sorter riles my stomach. You
remember that mint bed. Well, it was
all right, bnt I don't want any more
amber glass. My dear boy, there's noth
ing that makes a man sicker than too
mnoh of a good thing. And that was a
good thing, bat" here the old man
gagged "but I don't want any more.
I'll get you a clay pipe. "
We sat np until nearly midnight, and
then the colonel went to his room. I
lay down on the sofa. It was a long
time before I went to sleep, bnt I dosed
off at last, and with a sensation of de
light J awoke. The tune was tinkling
on the harpsichord. I raised np and
gazed at tbe instrument I could see no
vision, but the marvelous air was as
beautiful and as distinct as it had been
the year before. I listened until it
ceased, aud. then, whistling the tune, I
ran to the colonel's room and aroused
him.
"What I" he cried, opening the door.
"Where did yon hear that? It was raj
mother's tune she composed it, nevei
had it written down and never played
it except cn Christmas night
I told him of the vision, and he lis
tened, with the tears rolling down his
cheeks. "It's wonderful, he said. '
have often wished that I could hum
that tune, but I have no ear for music.
There's a music teacher not far from
here, and early in the morning we'll go
over and have him take it down.
We talked a long time, and I whis
tied tbe tone over nnd over. And I lay
down with it strong and clear in my
