In today, already, walks tomorrow. No civilization other than that which ie Christian, is worth sceking or pro Lessing. If anyone sincerely trics to under. stand and obey the voice of divine wisdom, he will not go fatally astray. O cursed love of gold; when for thy sake the fool throws up his inter- est in both worlds, first starved in this, then damm'd in that to come. When thou art obliged to speak be sure to speak the truth, for equivoca- tion is half way to lying, and lying is ¢he whole way to destruction. The true test of civilization is not the wealth or the size of cities nor the ‘crops, but the kind of men that the fulness of the country turns out. Moen sometimes affect to ‘deny the depravity of our race; but itis as clearly taught in the lawyer's office, and in the court of justice, as in the Bible itself. We can never see this world in its ‘true light unless we consider our life in it as a state of discipline—a condi- tion through which we are passing to prepare us for another. Do ve not laugh, O listening friends, when men praise those dead whose virtues they discovered not when liv- ing. It takes much marble to build the sepuicher. How little of lath and plaster would have repaired the gar. vet. May! it not be that in vouth, as in sleep, the images of coming things tover round us, and mysteriously be- come visible to our unobstructed eyes? May not the seeds of what is to be- tide us be already scallered by the hand of fate; may not the foretaste of the fruits we yet hope to gather pos- sibly be given us? . Instead of giving vour thoughts and” desires to wealth and position, learn to know how little of such things a true and wise man nceds; for the secret of a happy life does not lie in the means and opportunities of indulg- ing our weakness,bat in knowing how to be content with what is reasonable, that time and strength may remain for the cultivation of our nobler nature. Ancient Jasper Mines. H. C. Mercer of the archmological department of the University of Peun- sylvania has recently completed an account of (he prehistoric jasper quar- vies in the Lehigh hills. “The nnivers sity explorers have opendd the long- hidden mines where the aboriginal Indians quarried the hard jasper, which was to them much thal iron is to civ- ilized man today. In Lehigh and Berks eight distinct mines have been opened, showing the workshops of. the carly inhabitants. Great excavations have been covered up for so many years that forests have grown over them. Icrefragable evidence in the size of these trees shows that the shafts were closed and covered as far back as 1680 or 1690,and that atleast two centuries have passed since the Indians worked them and then hid the workings. Not only were rude tools used in sinking these shafts found, but the 8iz2 and shape of the wooden imple. ments were fixed by plaster casts of the cavities formed in the bottom. All of these are now gathered in the grow- ing archaeological collection of the university, and in its museum can be scen and studied these uew proofs of the handiwork of our native Indians before the days of the white settlers. Me. Mercer shows that the Indiaps who made these jasper quarries were capable of intelligent and continued avor, and has thus won a nucw step in our actual knowledge of their culttre. From Belvidere to Trenton, from Beach Haven to Havre ds. Grace, the viver beaches may be looked upon as one great, prehistoric quarry, littered swith the chips, the hammer stones and the rejected and lost implements of vanished men. The newly found jisper quarries supply relics of the potter, the fisherman -and the hanter of a period nearer the arrival of white settlers.— [Boston Transcript. — a Iron Masters of America.

BROOKS. Both Die Suddenly From Heart Trouble. Brief 8ketch of Their Noble and Useful Lives. Justice Lamar died Monday evening at Macon, Ga. The death was sudden in the extreme, for although he has been ailing for some time, Justice Lamar appeared to be gradually gaining in héalth. He came from Washington to Macon about a month ago and has been visiting at the residence of Mr. W. H. Virgin, in Vineville, a suburb of Mac. : vid JUSTICE IL. Qi C. LAMAR. Justice Lamar spent the ‘afternoon with a friend, Dr, Llewellyn. Ile was in goed spirits and at dinner Monday evening seem- ed to have a good appetite. Dr. Lleweilyn left the house about 8 o'clock, and afew minutes later the Justice was seized with violent pains in the heart, death soon ftol- lowing. Bright's disease with angina pectoris was he direct cause of Judge Lamar's death. Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus Lamar was born in Putnam county, Ga., September 17, 1825, and after his father's death was taken to Oxford, Miss., where he received a part of his education. He graduated at Emory college, Georgia, In 1845; studied law in Macon, and was admitted. to the bar in 1847. In 1849 he returned to Oxford, Miss., and for a year held a professorship in the Univer- sity of Mississippi, He resigned and resum- ed the practice of law at Covington. Ga. He was elected to the legislature in 18:3, and in 1854 again returned to Mississippi aud set- tled on his plantation in Lafayette, being shortly afterward elected to congress as a Democrat. He served from 1857 until 1860, ‘when he resigned to take a seat in the seces- sion convention of his native State. He cast his fortunes with the *'Lost Cause’’ and left the army with the rank of (olonel. He speut most of the time of the war as special emissary to Rnssia. He was again appointed a professor in the University of Mississippi and again took a seat in the house of repre- sentatives. Ile was elected to the senate March 8, 1877. On March 5, 1885, President Cleveland appointed Mr. Lamar secretary of the Interior and in July, 1888, elevated him to a seat on the supreme bench. } Justice Lama~ was a nephew of Mirabeau Lamar, the first president ot Texas, and was trained in a school of statesmanship,coming from a family all of whom were men of mark. In person, Mr. Lamar was rather below the medium height, wore his hair long behind, and his cheeks smooth. On his lips however, there flourished a most luxuriant mustacheand a patriarchial beard flowed from his chin. While on the bench he was noted for the close attention he paid to the details of cases presented, and some o! his opinions delivered in that tribunal w.ll go down in the legal records of theday. During Mr. Lama's term as secretary of the interior he created something of a ‘sen- sation by marrying a widow of Macon, Ga., whose danghter had only shortly before married a weaithy man of Nashville, Tenn. Considerable surpr'se was expressed at the time, but it subsequently transpired that the lady was an old childhood friend. the first iove of the distinguished Mississippian, from whom when a youth in Georgia she had been parted in a romantic way. When they met in Macon, both felt the old love revive and so they agreed to marry. Mrs, Lamar survives. DEATH OF BISHOP BROOKS. THE EMINENT PROTESTANT EPISCOPAT PRELATE DIES UNEXPECTEDLY OF HEART FAILURE, CAUSED BY A FIT OF COUGHING. Bishop Phillips Brooks died at his resi. dence 1n Boston, Monday morning of heart failure, caused by a fit of coughing. The death was entirely unexpected. He was taken ill Thursday with sore threat, but nothing serious showed itselt until Sunday night. Dr. H. A. Beach, his physician, dis- covered diphtheritic symptoms, and, consid- ering a consultation advisable, ca'led in Dr. R, H. Fitz. At this hour nothing serious was anticipated and Dr. Fitz remained only a short time. Dr. Beach was with the Bishop the entire night. About 6:30 o'clock the patient was seized with a coughing spasm which lasted fora few moments, and his heart ceased to est. eal Brooks preachel his last sermon at the Church of the Good Shepherd last Tuesday evening. The scene at the Bishop's honse Monday morning was one-of gr.ef and desolation Members of his congrega- tion and others of his friends and admirers refused to believe him dead until they saw his cold and liteless body. Phillips Brooks was born December 13 1835. His boyhood was passed partly in Boston and partly in Andover. tle gradn- ated at Harvard in 1835, studied theology in a seminary at Alexandria, Va., was ordain- ed in 1859, and became rector of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church of the Advent, Phil- adelphia, Pa, a comparatively obscure charge. Three years later he became rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, one of the largest and most fashionable churches in Philadelphia.” He remained there seven years, in 1869 becoming rector of Trinity Church. Boston. = About a year ago he was consecrated Bishop of the Diocese of Massa- chusetts, succeeding the late Paddock. While he was pastor of Trinity Church, Dr. Brooks declined many calls elsewhere, a profes<orship in Harvard and the office of assistant bishop of Pennsylvania, to which he wan elected in 1886. In his Boston par- ish he exerted a powerful influence for good, especially over the young men. Bis- hop Brooks was one of the most brilliant pulpit orators of the Protestant Episcopal Church. and has a more rapid delivery than any other clergyman in the country. He was noted for his *‘Low Church” views and preached in the churches of other denomi- nations than his own. Bishop Brooks published ‘Lectures on hing,” delivered betore the Yale Di- 1 (New York, 1877); ‘‘Sermons,”’ Benjamin 1878 and 1831); “The Influence of Jesus,” Bohlen Lectures, delivered in Philadelphia in 1879, a Baptism and Confirmation,” (1880). HAWAII'S QUEEN DETHRONED. _The Islands in the Care of a Provisional Committee and Want Annexation to the United States. Thereign of Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, is at an end. Thesteamer Claudine, which arrived at San Francisco on Sunday hrought the news of a revolution at the ¢» ital, Honolulu. The royal‘rule has been overthrown, a provisional government established and a commission, headed by Mr. Thurston. arrived on the Claudine to petition the Goverment of the United States to anuex the Hawaiian Islands. On January 15 the Queen asied that the Min'stry sign the new constitution, prepar- ed by the local congress, the Hui Kalaiana, which was in substance the old constitution, under which the sovereign had almost abso- lute powers to rule. The Ministers refused, appealed to the free-holders of the islands and gained the support of the latter. A Public Safety Committee was formed and a proclamation of independence from sover- eign rule issued. Bloodshed wou'd have undoubtedly fol- lowed the revolution had not the United States man-of-war Boston been in the har- bor. A large detachment of armed marines and sailors of the Boston were landed and held ready for eme gency at the United States consulate. The presence of this arm- ed force kept the turbulent spirit of the na- tives in abeyance. The Queen ana her Ministers surrendered all public property to the Peovisional Com- mittee ana Her Majesty then retired to her palace, where the committee furnished her an armed guard. Commissioner Thurston said to-day that he believes the United States Government will take the Islands. If she don’t he thinks a republic will be formed and the protection of tnis country asked, The warship Mobican left for Honolulu to day, and will soon be followed by the cruisers Rancer and Adams. The Monterey is also being fitted for sea. ANNEXATION OF HAWAIL LIKELY THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL TAKE THE ISLANDS. A dispatch from. Washington says: Un- less this country takes prompt action in the matter of annexing the Hawaiian Islands; as the provisional government of that coun- try asks, Great Britain will be apt to assert a protectorate over the islands, on tbe plea that British interests must be guarded. This step, it is generally conceded, would be but a series of acts that would eventually result in Great Britain taking absolute possession. ‘The control of these Islands by England would give her a stragzling command over the Pacific ocean. In addition, it would al- low Great Britain to complete the chain with which for years she has been endeavoring to surround the United States. The Canadian Pacific railroad on the north the recently improved fortificaticn at Hali- fax, the cable to the Burmudas and the es- tablishment in those islands of an increased garrison, the British colonies in the Carri- bean Sea, and the British acquisitions in Guinea and Venezuela are all acis of Great Britain which have not been observed in this country without concern. Possession of the Hawaiian group would complete the armed circle. . ; The islands are as important to the United States, from a stragetical point of view, as they are to Great Britain. They would be valuable as a supply depot for ships of war, and also for the cruising commerce vessels on the Pacific. As the war with Mexico resulted from the annexation of Texas there is some talk that Great Britain would not look calmly on while the United States took Hawaii under its protecting wing. This view of the case was considered in the Executive session of the Senate Saturday and will be an impor- ant factor in reaching a conclusion. BUSINESS HAS IMPROVED. A Perceptible Increase at Many Points R. G. Dun & Co'sWeelly Review of Trade says: There has been some iricrease in the distribution of products during the past week and the demand for manufactured goods is distinctly larger, so that business has perceptibly improved at many points. Yet the outgo of gold, expected to exceed $3,000,000 this week, reduces Treasury reser- ves, causes increased nervousness about the future and renders men more reluctant to engage in the new under takings. Wheat is a fraction lower in price, with moderate sales, and the Western receipts in four days have been over 2,000,000 bushels in spite of bad weather, while Atlantic ex- ports have been only 391,000 bushels. Corn is 24 c higher and pork products a shade higher, but oats 4c lower. Coffee is ic high- er. with moderate sales, and oil 4c lower. Cotton has not changed in price, though sales have been quite large, and the receipts this week thus far have been 40,000 kales and exports 54,000 bales smaller than last year. The dry goods trade in all its branches is strong and healthy. Sales of wool at Boston forthe year thus far are more than 50 per cent. greater than last year, with prices growing stronger. The boot and shoe trade is remarkably healthy and shipments heav- ier than a year ago, The iron and steel in- dustry during the past week has been facing record-breaking prices, though the demand and sales are large. The business in finish- ed products is very heavy, but for many kinds the prices are the lowest ever known. Structural iron works havefar more business than usual. There is still an excess of merchandise ex- ports over imports for January, though ex- ports from New York in four weeks have been $10,800,000 less than for the same weeks last year, while in imports there is an increase of about $4,000,000. The excess of exports last January was over $37,000,000. he business failures ocenrring through- out the country during the last seven days number for the United States 255, and for Canada 40, or a total of 295 as compared with totals of 332 last weck and 305 the week previous to the last. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 297, rep- resenting 253 failures in the United States and 44 in the Dominion of Canada. ea Many Mexican Miners Killed. Fire broke out in the Conception mine, at Atorcie, State of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Thirteen persons have already been recover- ed. The fire still rages, and at latest advices other workings had collasped and further subsidence was momentarially expected. The ioss financially will reach $1,000,000. --ThaE wealthiest class in the United States is considered to be vastly richer than the wealthiest ciass in Great Britain.

The bill as it passed the house requires all vessels clearing for the United States to ob- tain from the consul or vice consul at the port of departure a bill of health, The presi- dent is authorized to detail a medica! officer to serve in the office of the consul at any foreign port for the purpose of furnishing information and giving the bills of health. The marine hospital service shall co-operate with State and municipal boards of health in the enforcement ot the rules of such boards and the regulations prescribed by the secretary of the treasury to prevent the in- troduction of contagious and infectious dis- eases into the United States from foreign countries and from one State to another, but nothing shall be construed to warrant a federal official in relaxing State rules.

The Fig- ures Show a Good Working Balance. Chairman Springer, of the Ways and Means Committee, received from Secretary Foster, of the Treasury Department, a statement showing the condition of the Treasury. During the first six months of the present fiscal year the ireceipts from all sources were $234,419,215, and the expendi- tures $230,571,006, leaving an excess of %3,- 818,209. The cash in the Treasury, including gold reserve, July 1, 1892, was §132,143,426, and on December 31, 1892, $129,092,588. The total estimatea revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1843, are $466,671,350, and the total estimated expenditures $464,- 671,350, leaving an estimated surplus of re- ceipts over expenditures of exac.ly $2,000, 000. The estimated cash balance available June 30, 1893, is placed at $120,992.377, which includes $100,000,000 for the gold reserve fund. For the next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1894, the Secretary estimates that the reveniies from all sources will amount to $490,121,365, and the estimated expenditures, which, however, do not appear to include miscellaneous and extraordinary expendi- tures at $457,261,335, or an’estimated surplug of $32,860,030. To this the Secretary adds the $20 992377 cash balance above thegold reserve, esti- mated to be available June 80, 1843, making an estimated available balance on June 30, 1894, of #53,852,407, from which must be de- ducted $5,000,000 for redemption of past due bonds, fractional currency and Nation- al bank notes, and $1,000,000 for probable payments on mail subsidy contracts, leav- ing the balance $17,852,407. It is estimated that $10.000,000 in con- tracts will be payable in 1894, which would bring the real working balan: down to $7,852,407. Triplets--Grover, Frances and Ruth.

Stories Illustrating Mr.Blaine’s Remark- ables Faculty for Remembering Names, I"aces and Events, After Many Years. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Senator Saw- yer, of Wisconsin, tells the following as to Mr. Blaine's wonderful memory for names and faces: ‘In 1874 Mr. Blaine made a speech in Wisconsin and was my guest. I gave a dinner in his honor, to which I invited Mr. Myer, of Fond du Lac. In 1891, more than 16 years afterwards, Mr. Myer came to Washington and I took him to call on Mr. Blaine. Before we got there we met Mr. Blaine and, when within about 40 feet of him, he walked quickly forward and without any hesitation said: ‘Mr. C. IL. J. Myer, how do you do?” A gentleman of the party with Senator Sawyer, said: *‘1 was with Mr. Blaine when he visited Lancaster, O., during a campaign. Mr. Blaine had lived there, and he gota great reception. He remembered all the old residents. Kinally some one brought in a man whom they said he would not remember. Mr. Blaine replied: ‘Yes, T do. Give me a little time.” Pretty soon he remarked to the man: ‘I never saw you but once,” and then he told this story: When a boy there was great excitement one day because a convict had escaped from the Columbus penitentiary and had been tracked into that neighbor- hood. Police arrested him and Mr. Blaine said he was one of the crowd around. The man was taken to a black- smith shop and had fetters riveted on him by the blacksmith. ‘You.’ turning to the man, ‘and 1 walked homé to Lancaster together after that.’ ”’ MARKETS. PITTSBURG.
