The Turks who are on exhibition at

of the luxurious esse of which their
Nation is proverbially fond. They nre

times the burden proves oherons. One

Thomns A. FdiSoh, the Inventor, says
that no person can be brought In close

A l/owell (Moss.) man gave a sur

There is great complaint at the poverty
of the clergy, It is almost as grievous
today as in Sydney Smith's time, and
the New Orleans Pienvnne suggests
thnt the witty and sarcastic jibes of
thnt reverend satirist on the policy
that permits such conditions might be
reproduced. If FjOgland is to have sn
established church she should not give
princely incomes to bishops and leave
the humbler clergy to abject poverty
and misery.

CHRISTINA."
tS JIB wn« i» Ocrmnn
girl who landed in
New Orleans from
an emigrant, vessel,
M| friendless and deso
late. Her mother
[r Imd died on the
voyage, and her
brother, Hans Her
jiJy VgffiSg. kel, wlio had come
to New Orleans
*'rPnWnllllwli fhree yearn Lefore,
*i ' to make a home for
fhein, hftd gone, no one knew where.
The woman with whom he had board
ed, and whose address Christina had,
knew nothing of his whereabouts.
"Ach, Gott!" Fran Werlein ex
claimed. "But Hans said you would
come not for two year."
"No," Christina answered, trying to
choke down her sobs. "Hut the m< tiier
wanted to see him, ob, so ranch, awl
she got weaker and sicker all the time.
Then the mother says, 'I must see my
boy before 1 die,' and the good neigh !
bftrs, oh, they feel so sorry. They sell
our things for us, and they give much
money to pay our way here. And the
mother is at the bottom of the sea, and
Hans is gone, and I am alone."
The poor girl burst into a passion of
tears, while Fran Werlein sat much
troubled in mind, between sympathy
for her conn try woman's grief and pru
den Hal considerations. Rhc was not
an ntikind woman, but a long struggle
with poverty had blunted all delicacy
of feeling, and in trouble or not, she 1
could not afford an unprofitable lodger.
Rhe had found out that Christina was
penniless and friendless, and she must
be made to understand that she, Fran
Werlein, could not give her a home ■
without some equivalent.
"Rut then, what will yon <1o?" she j
cried. "I am poor, and I can keep
►oil not without the money. Hans will
eornc not back, perhaps, and how will
you live?"
Christina took her hands from her
eves and looked up. Rhe had been too
ranch stunned by grief and disappoint |
ment to have given a thought to her
own situation. Hut she was practical
and sensible, and it did not take her a
minnte to meet the emergency.
"I can cook, I ean wash, I can nurse
children, I can embroider, and I make
fine Iscc Ach ! I can do many things, ■
snd in Ihis great city there must be
plenty of work. Ami then when Hans
comes back."
"Ah, ves, yes," Fran Werlein said,
much relieved. "If you can do all those
things yon will not starve. We will go
to morrow to the intelligence-office,
and yon may git a fine place
I happened togo to the same office
thai'las in search of a nurse, and heard
Frau Werlein's voluble enumeration of
Christina's accomplishments

LAPORTE, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1898.
H gave mo rather nn uneasy feeling,
for the inlnttd WIIH tvidently of recent
formation, and who eould say but
what It might tie submerged again
during Home storm. But Paul laughed
fit my fears.
"For fifty years Tirtftt Inland has held
Its own against wind and waves," he
fluid. "It Isn't- likely you're going to
play tho #ouah and sink It."
AH for Christina, Hhe looked at the
strange country with dread and nur
priHe.
"Aeh (lott," Hhe erled, "hnt It 1r de
wanner all round, and do erf no higher
as dat. Whoti de wares come, what to
do?"
"They hare never come over asyet.,"
112 nnswerod. She nhook her head, hnt
day after day alio took her way to the
beach. The scene neemed to hare a
faHeination for her, hnt the fascination
(if terror, for elm wan nlwayn measur
ing the height of the tide on the snnd.
It became a common thing to hear her
daily report.
"l)e wasscr come two flngern more
high dan yen'day," or "l)e wanner g<i
down HO far."
"That girl lias water on the hrain,"
Paul said, impatiently. "If n mighty
'lagre' shonld conic and sweep ns Into
the gulf she wouldn't he a hit sur
prised."
Meantime life went on as it usually
doeH at those seaside renorts, hnt pleas
nnt an It all was I was not Horry when
the 15th of September, the time de
elded upon for otir return to the city,
arrived.
Paul had come for UH, but the FLF
teenth wan ushered in by micli a ntorin
of wind and rnin that the daily steamer
did not arrive. The mainland was not
at n great distance, hnt in a storm the
sea between it and the Inland was ex
tremely rough.
Toward noon the gale increased. I
noticed that Paul became restlenn, I
hurrying out to the beach and exantin
ing Uric or two little llnhing Hkiffw j
moored there. One of them lie drew !
up and fastened near our cottnge, nay
ing:
"I Huppone there in not a bit of dan '
ger, but it's well to be prepared, you
know.l think," trying to speak In
differently, "1 might an well knock to
gether those old shutters lying in the
vnrd; make a kind of raft Not that
there's the lenst danger, but- It's rain ;
ing and storming so that I want some- 1
thing to pfins away the time."
I watched him with a sinking heart.
Rut Christina wan alert in assisting,
nod, in fnct, did more than half the ;
on the raft. Hhe seemed sudden
ly to have lost all fear in the presence
of real dsnger and looked brighter
than I had ever seen her.
Night came hlaek snd starless, hnt
when supper time Hrrived, Paul In- .
sisted upon my going to the dining
room. We were In a small cottage,
iibout two hundred yardafrom the main
building, Hot the wind was HO high, it
wn« with difficulty 1 traversed the short j
distance.
You can imnglnethat I had little ap
petite for supper that night. I heard
rniiHic in the ball room, where the
voung people were dancing, as they
did every night, but my one object
wan to get back to my baby, whom I
bad left with Christina. The two elder
children were with nn.
Suddenly the utmost fnry of the
"tnriii burnt npoti the island, an we
resetted the door
'■Mv (tod," cried Paul, "the wind
has gone round to the north! field
onto rue, Helen Take one of the
children; I have Mary.'
(Mir flrnt step WHS in water above the
nf'kles. Another tremendous gust,
mill we heard ft ersnh behind ns, inited
with piercing shrieks, and knew the
hotel «vnn gone. Half fainting, I wan
I ragged through the water I knew
ii..t where or how. When 112 revived, I
wnn tossing in a skiff with my husband
Hlid children
"My bal.y, where is my baby ?" I
cried
'Von have two children, Helen,"
I'aul said in wchoking voice "The
cottage *'«s swept away with the hotel
If it hadit t been for ttn jni<-* Hushe*
•I lightning, I never could have found
the bout, mid W'- would all hav# been

"My baby, »n» baby!" I cried,

I can just, remember entreating the
captain to take us to the Oem, It, might
lie Christina and my baby. And then
for hours I knew nothing distinctly,
until the voice of my faithful nurse
wan in my ears, nnd baby Ruth in my
arms.
"Aeh, but when de wasser come t
put lintiy on de raft, and I hold it
tight, tight nil de time, and de wind
blow as never was, and de waves come,
but I hold it tight, tight."
A man with staring eyes enme rush
ing up to Christina as she spoke.
"Christina! Christina!" he cried.
"Meln bruddet!" she screamed, and
then there wan a scene I have no space
to relate, 112 had found my bnbv, and
Christina had found Hans, who wns
employed as second engineer on the
steamer.
Paul's gratitude to Christina took n
substantial form, In the shape of a neat
little cottage just, outof the city, where
she has made a pretty liotne for Hans,
who, through his new friends, secured
a position in a manufacturing estnb
lishment. We often see each other,
for the "henvenly sweet baby," whose
life she saved, is the darling of Chris
tina's heart.
I have heard that a hotel has been
rebuilt at Last Island, and that people
go there. Rut one tragedy satisfied
me of its insecurity. The islnnd has
too recently come lip out of the sea not
to be reclaimed by it time and again
| until many years have pnssed.—Tlie

Russia In he Pamirs.
Close upon the announcement thnt
Oreat Rritain has lately practically
recognised the Chinese claim to sov
ereignty in the Pamir country, in
Central Asia, comes the news that Rus
sia has already established a garrison
i in the disputed territory, and that she
is preparing to move n large number of
| troops into the region during the com
' ing summer.
The Pamir strife is generally recog
nized ns being without the Russian
sphere of action in Asia, and it is com
monly accepted as certain that neither
China nor the Government of Oreat
Rritain can assent to the occupation of
the territory by Russian troops.
Threatened raids into the country have
i already been the subject of urgent
! protests on the part, of Oreat Rritain,
nnd once already this same subject has
tieen the cause of seriously strained re
lations between the two countries.
Theclaimof the Chinese Government
to sovereignty iu the disputed territory
would seem to point to trouble between
1 China and Russia should the report
! of the Russian occupation tie confirmed,
and as Oreat fi, tain h»« practically
assented to the Chinese claim, and has
j herself already protested against the
j advance of Russia into the Pamirs, any
I trouble that may grow out of the affair
| is sure to involve that power,
j The news from Central Asia will,
; therefore, be watched with interest,
; the more particularly as there is a
deep-seated conviction that the next,
war is likely to arise from Russian ag
gression in that part of the world,—

"Here is something new and neat
and sure to be popular," said a dealer
in crockery ware and china to a Mail

"It is called chalcedony, and is the
latest product of the kiln."
It was a beautiful piece of ware and
looked as if it.was cut from agate,

"The manufacturers are turning it

CHEROKBK INDIANS OAMVtTLLT
OUARD ITS SBORBT.
Only One White Man Ever Bavr It,
an<l He Paid fbr the Sight With
Ills fdfe.
IT appears from a dispatch which
was sent out from Wichita the
other day that there is to be
another attempt to locate what
are sometimes characterized ns the
fabled gold mines of the Indian Terri
tory. Many people have faith in the
existence of these mines, while many
more smile when the subject is
broached, and are inclined to think
that they have no existence outside of
the fertile imaginations of the space
writers. But I belong to the first
mentioned class, and feel that, I have
the best reasons for my belief, says a
Pueblo (Col.) correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Many years ago a white mah, whose
name has been long ago forgotten, an
adventurer with more dnring than pru
dence, stumbled npon the mine, when
there was not n white settlement within
hundreds of miles. He was not a
miner, but had found the quart*, filled
with native gold, cropping out of the
ground in a most unexpected location,
and although he was entirely alone
and without facilities for mining, as it
is usually eondueted, had taken out
and separated from the quartz within
the course of a few days more of the
precious metal than he eould carry.
Realizing that he had made a dis
covery that would give him wealth be
yond the wildest dreatns of avarice, he
determined to retrace his steps to a
settlement, organize a small party and
return, fully equipped for working the
lead and taking awav the gold. He
filled his pockets and his hunting
pouch with the virgin metal and
started for civilisation, first carefully
noting the landmarks, that he might
have no trouble in guiding his party
to the spot upon his return.
He bad got some twenty miles away
from the locality when he was dis
covered by a party of Indians, some
ten or fifteen in number. They took
him in charge and conducted him i»to
the presence of one of their principal
chiefs, to whom he told the story of
his discovery. The old chief listened
patiently, and, realizing thnt this was
an important matte r, called certain of
the sub-chiefs Into conncil. He made
the first speech to them, and called
their attention to what had first oc
curred to him—-that if the gold hunter
were allowed to return to the haunts
of white men with his precious burden
1 their country trowed lately be
I overrnn with miners, their hunting
j spoiled and their tribe eventually
! forced to vacate their accustomed
range.
'flic Indians were at that lime pence
able, and were extremely averse to
taking an action which wonld precipi
tate trouble with the whites, who wcro
, just commencing to plant feeble settle
; ments in the lower Kansas counties,
| just north of the Osage and Cherokee
I Nations. Yet it was a serions matter,
j for it seemed almost impossible to
i allow the white man to return to
; civilisation and spread the news of his
i wonderful find, of which every one
else, even the Indians themselves, had
been in utter ignorance up to that
I time. It meant all manner of evil for
j the w>d men. atid the matter wns care
fully discussed pro and con by the
heads of the tribe, the conncil lasting
' fsr into the night. The decision wan
j e* last arrived nt that it was better
that one life should tie taken than that
the peace of the whole tribe tie
1 destroyed. And so, for nontf other
| than prudential reasons, the council
, passed the sentence of death upon the
i hapless discoverer of the mine. The
1 result of the deliberation was, how
! ever, kept from him nt first, and he
was iitdnecd to guide n small party to
1 the locality of his find. Three of the
leading chiefs of the tribe were of the
party, and under their direction all
traces of the lead wcr tovered Up, lest
some othi r white men .raying thron »h
tie* country iu search it pelts might re
discover it Then the nnfortuuate
i white man was executed on the spot
not by torture, however, bnt in the
most merciful manner and the party,
being for from home struck camp for
' the night far in the night, when all
the others were asleep, the three chiefs
arose, having secretly determined upop
the course before leaving the council,
and with their keen Minting knives
treaehf.italy took (hi lives of their
, brothers, also. I«st in an imgiiardad
