AROUND THE WORLD. The Week's Happening in Every Quarter of the 0ll and New World. Ing was held at Winnipeg, wnen resolutions were passed asking the interposition of the United States to defeat the schemes of (hi Canadian Pacific and tho Dominion government. Premier Norquny declared at St. Paul that nothing could prevent tbo completion the Itsd Rivwr Valley road.

POLITICAL WOULD. Doane, Lilly Snyder, and Fabsanante, the Neapolitan cook who attempted to assassinate King Humbert and dangerously wounded Prime Minister Cairoli some five or six years ago, is now lying at the point of death. Condemned to imprisonment for life, he was incarcerated in a large circular cell in the Portoferraio Convict Prison on the Island of Elba. The walls of the dungeon are perfectly white, with nothing on which to rest the eye, daylight being admitted through a small skylight in the domed ceiling. Condemned to solitary confinement, with no books or work to pass away the long dreary hours, the man soon ecame a hopeless imbecile.

His appearanoe is horrible. Want of exercise haa produced obesity almost resembling elephantiasis, and the rolling eyes, the shaven head and face, and yellow, greasy-looking skin, conduce to make him utterly repulsive to the eight At Higgins Lake, Roscommon County, Michigan, Mr. Charles H. Pettit and her little daughter, aged 3 years, were boating, when the little one, while gleefully capering about, sprung into the water. The mother, in her anxiety and fright, then upset the boat, and as they were alone the chances were excellent for a double funeral.

Indeed, such would have been the cose had not their horse, an intelligent French pony, which had been turned loose to graze on the shore of the lake, came to their rescue. Alarmed by the screams of the mother and by the commotion which he two made in the water the brave animal swam boldly out to them, and when they had taken a seoure hold of its mane struggled back to shore, a tired but heroic pony. The animal wa inclined to be balky and he never would pull anything but a light load, but it will be cold weather when he isn't a prime favorite after this. Judge A. C.

Hyde, a Mexican veteran, and also a Texas veteran, now 74 years old, who has almost lost both sight and hearing, was asked, while talking in Uvalde, recently, about the early history of Texas, if he knew the origin of the famous phrase, "Thor-mopyhe had her messenger of defeat, the Alamo had none." He replied that the expression was first used by Reuben M. Potter in his poem, "The Fall of the Alamo," published in a pamphlet of about twenty pages. Mr. Potter was a gifted writer of prose and verse, a Texas veteran, and afterward an ordnance officer in the Federal army, and now a citizen of New York. The Judge had a vivid recollection of Gen.

Burleson and his speech to his troops, and also of Gen. Thomas Jefferson Green, who put the historio expression into it. He relates many humorous incidents of Burleson's illiteracy, bravery and personal popularity. Judge Hyde was at one time Postmaster General of the republic of Texas, and hold many positions of honor and trnst during the days of the republio and since. The following remarkable story of a snake fight was told by E.

W. Hammond to a reporter of the Griffin (Ga.) Newt: "It was a most interesting engagementindeed it was. They first approached each other, and then would retreat, and then they would crawl around eaoh other very cautiously, as if watching to seize any advantage that might offer. Thus they maneuvered, gradually coming closer and closer to each other, eaoh seeming bent at getting at the rear of his antagonist, going round and round. The cirole gradually drew smaller and smaller, and the distance between the snakes deoreased.

They were tolerably well matched, both being about five feet in length. As they went around, one seeming to pursue the other, their speed increased as the cirouit grew less, until at lost the head of each was almost in reach of the other and vice versa. At ttus juncture thev were traveling with the speed of raee horses, and the great climax was at hand. Then each seized the other by the tail, and then such another twist and whirl and tumble and squabble you never saw, until they seemed to tire down, but still they were clinohed in the fatal embrace and grew almost still then I discovered that they were swallowing each other, and so continued until both were completely swallowed and noth ing left of either snake." A Sketch or Walt Whitman. The "good gray poet" was once a familiar figure on Chestnut street, but partial paralysis and the infirmities of age now keep him in-doors and debar him from one of the great delights of bis life the study of the commonplace.

There is something about the old man that commands attention and admiration at eight. It is not the snowy whiteness of his beard, nor the merry twinkle of his blue eye; it is that indefinable magnetism which attracts and holds, and inspires respect even from the most unthinking. "Uncle Walt" is a little short of six feet in stature, and has a massive, bony frame-work. He. is slightly stooped now, and the flesh on his limbs is shrunken, but it is plain to see that in middle age he belonged in the class stalwart.

His face is covered with a luxuriant growth of beard, whioh flows in snowy waves over his snoulaers. His features are large, cheek bones prominent, and chin square; his eyes are small, keen, ex preasive, and shine constantly, with a kindly light. It is one of his peculiarities to wear bis broad-collared shirt open at the throat, and to breast the breeze no matter how hard it may blow. Moties P. Handy, in tht American Magazine.

A temporary injunction has been ob tuined at Winnipeg, restraining the con of the Red River Valley railroad over certain laud owned by the Canadian Pacific company. There is great excite-mint and indignatiou throughout Mmitoba over the matter, nnd it is probable 'hat the injunction will be ignored, as tne government denies its validity.

(Schnff.) In this prayer our L-jrd shows bis UiscipieB how an iiilimte variuty of wants and request can ba compressed into a few hnm-ble petitions. It ombjdiea every possible de-siru of a praying heart, a wholo world of spiritual requirements, yot all in the most simplo, condensed, and humble form, re-sumbling, iu this respect, a pearl on which tbo light of heaven plays. (Lange.) This prayer contains four gro.it general sontiments, whioh constitute tho viry toul of religion, Sfittimonis which are tho gonna of ail holy deed? in alt worlds. First, filial reverence. God i i addressed not as Ihe great unknown, not as the unsearchable governor, but as a father, the most intel.igiblo, attractive, and transforming name.

It may often ba (bettor, it undoubtedly is) proper to use the vary words, but it is not always necessary, tor wo do not find that the apostlos thus used it; but we ought always to pray after the manner of it that 1b, with that reverence, humility, seriousness, confidence in God, zeal for his glory, love to mankind, submission, acd meditation in temporal and earnestness about spiritual things which it inculcates.

One looks toward man, the other toward Got; the one haa referenoe to being a blessing to others, the other to receiving bleating from God. CHEISTIAN OrVTNQ AND PRAYING. 1. Christian giving (1) should not be with parade and ostentation, for this is hypocrit-lotil, selfish, and foolish and () should ba modest humble, without display, lor such, giving most acceptable, moat beneficial, and honored of God. Iu all our giving there should be less parade and more conscience and oonv.ctiou; leas giving because others do or do not Rive, aud more giving because God asks it Ihen, too, if wo give from the highest motives, our action will have greatest and best eff oot on others.

Christian praying (I) should avoid ostentation of time, plaoe, attitude, language; (3) should avoid meaningless forms and repetitions; (3) should ba from the heart and for and to God; (4) should be in a filial and fraternal spirit; (6) should be in submission to the divine will; (A) should be witn confession of sin; i7) should be in a forgiving spirit BEED-TBUTHH AND GEBM -THOUGHTS. 1.

THE LAST DAY Of the northwestern soldiers' reunion was the most interesting of the three days ex ercises, and the crowd was much larger than earlier in the reunion. The event of the day, and it might be said of the reunion, was the drill by Battery of the regular army. Long before the drill began the center of attraction was that portion of the field where the artillery was parked, and as preparations were Deing made lor moving me iue ouiouxers increased lo a great crowd, keenly inspecting the wrinkled front of grim-vis aged war and watching the details of military discipline.

Among other things there was representation or. a oattery in in re-sistance to a charge, firing in succession in section and simultaneously, and also grape Bhot and canister, in retreat and on the mnrch. All these movements, together with the collateral revolutions and detail of tactics were witnessed by the spectators with Intense interest nnd with admiration of the precision and skill displayed. It was spectacle long to be remembered and tne crowning evonc or tne encampment.

The officers of the battery in their relation with those having the meeting in charge and the citizens of Sioux City, have left tne impression or gentlemen. They were examples of true military courtesy and manhood, and their service most valuable, and one which leaves behind pleasant memories. Mnj. J. 1.

Resolutions were adopted thanking the war department and President for sending the light battery to the reunion, and also thanking Sioux City foi the many courtesies extended to visiting comrades.

Following this action three cheers and a "t'ger" were given the officere and men of battery F.

Chief Jdbtice Waite has entirely recovered from his illness of a year or so ago.

He wear a his seventy years exceedingly well. His eye is bright and his step is firm, and the wrinkles in his dark, square face are few. His beard is, however, beginning to grow gray, and his black hair is already tinged with bright silver. While England is a bitter enemy of bimetallism at home, she is woll enough satisfied with the silver standard in India.

The fortress of Gibraltar is declared to be no longer impregnable. The armament of the famous stronghold consists almost entirely of old-time smooth-bore guns. There is not a Bhell gun, or a machine gun, or a quick-firing arm of any kind on the Bock, and only two torpedo boats of questionable value for water service. Any ironclad could knock the whole face of the rock to pieces without receiving a shot in return, so far as the fortress is concerned. William McDiarmid is probably the oldest printer in the United States.

He was born in Edinburgh in 1792, and was apprenticed when he was 14 years old to a printing firm, where he helped to 'set up" Walter Scott's novels from the original manuscript. He came to this country in 1836, and worked on various papers in New York and Cincinnati until 1878, when he went to California, and now lives at Healdsburg, in that State, in fairly good health. Ex-Congressman C. F. Bred owns the largest wheat-field in the world in Stanislaus County, California.
