THE WORLD
"WIIiIi NEVER, KNOW.
The world will never know, for history will
not speak,
Of the heroes and the heroines, that walk
upon our street.
Battles are fought each day, and glorious vic
tories won,
Without the sound of clashing steel, or noisy
heat of drum.
"Still waters run deepest." Heart-beats are
never heard;
The stricken love is oft-times soothed by one
low, tender word.
Of the beautiful unselfish lives, ever kind and
true,
"Letting not the left hand know what the
riprht hand finds to do;"
Of the happiness and sweet content within
humble cottage walls.
Of the misery and secret woe that lurks in
marble halls;
The anguish of a broken heart, that the.proud
face will not show;
Of the silent prayers, the unshed tears, the
world will never know.
A man walks forth with smiling face upon the
busy street.
While his victim's drooping, dying in some
lonely retreat;
The people pass, unmindful of her loneliness
and woe,
Of his cruelty, and broken vows, the world
will never know.
Proud spirits are crushed, and hearts break
without a sound,
And the "mills of God" are silent as the grist
is slowly ground.
The grave holds many a secret, that will never
be revealed;
The human heart holds secrets, from all the
world concealed.
White hands, shapely and jeweled, might
show a crimson stain;
The merriest laughter often hides a deep and
deadly pain;
Many a life has been condemned, as pure as
driven snow.
Ah! Much of joy, and much of grief, the
orld will never know.
Mns. J. M. Kxait.
AT THE TAHEKNaCLE.
Subject of discourse last evening was
"Justification."
The partial and fragmentary discussion
of this subject the other evening, and the
studious and serious attention given by
the very large audience, until the im
pending storm caused many to become
alarmed and rush out for home; and, more
than all beside the fundamental and in
seperable importance of "Justification" in
the Divine schema of salvation, certainly
is reason enough for a rehearing and a
further hearing on that subject. The
question, "How can God be just and the
justifyerof man?" has claimed a large place
in christian polemics from the Apostolic age
to the present time, and we are compelled
to believe that comparatively few men
have the clearness of perception, and
breadth of critical scriptural knowlodee
to present this subject with the appear
ance of divine approbation in bringing it
to bear upon the minds and hearts of those
who seek tho favor of God, or so as to
awaken the dormant souls of the incon
siderate and indifferent. The evangelist's
wonderful inductive powers, his critical
and comprehensive knowledge of the
scriptures, and his explorations in the
fields of effete theology as well as in
realms of living aud moving issues
of this day and age, make
him to bo a true watchman
on many of the loftiest towers of Zion,
and from his lips the Gospel trumpet gives
no uncertain sound. And when he con
trasts the plain teachings of tho Bible
with the speculative questions and theor
ies about leligion and salvation ''the doc
trines and commandments of men" with
heroic determination and power he ex
alts the word of God exclusively above the
word of men and and angels and will have
nothing in its stead. This is adherence to
the emphatic "thus saith the Lord," and
is the one aud only reason for tho marvel
ous inlluence of his preaching, in holding
vast audiences in all seasons, and often
under the most adverse circumstances and
determined oppositions, yet without one
failure and teus of thousands are living
examples and witnesses of the power of
the word of God, when brought to their
understanding and all that is human and
speculative is driven out, Tho audience
was . s large as usual notwithstanding the
intense heat, and listened with unwearied
attention to a logical Scriptural discussion
of the subject rather than emotional appeal.
At the conclusion a number came for
ward for confession, fellowship and sever
al were baptised. The Sunday school in
stitute under the direction and manage
ment of M. Ingalls, State Sunday school
secretary will convene at the Tabernacle
at 10 a. m. All Sunday school workers are
invited to be present and participate.
Preaching at S p. m. this evening. Sub
ject: "Many Baptisms."

Mr. C. Wood Davis, who came in yester
day, says that the rain of night before last
was most copious, flooding things generally
and raising the creeks. Mr. Davis laughs
at the way the dealers arc manipulating
the wheat market. There cau be, he says,
no longer any doubt that the world's bread
giaiu crops are short COO.000,000 bushels,
a greater shortage in Europe than tho
entire American wheat ciop. The world's
surplus has disappeared, aud in the Volga
country stud other portions of Russia peo
ple are already suffering for waut of food,
yet the grain manipulators are using every
means within their power to force the
piesent crop on to the market at the old
or lower prices Some day, nnd before
long, some country will want more wheat
than can be found on salo in tho open
market, aud when that time comes tho
future fellows won't know what hurt
them. No man can see into the future
very far or very comprehensively, but for
one having the utmost faith in the relia
bility of Mr. Davis' statistics, and the
correctness of his deductions, we don't
see how it will be possible, for the grain
manipulators to hold the price of wheat
dowu. The shortage now npparant when
really felt must send tho price up very
rapidly.

put on to preceed the sweeper the people
would be spared from tho terrible dust it

Mr. John Whittaker, of Fourth avenue,
had quite an experience with electricity
during the storm Wednesday evening. As
he was crossing the railroad tracks at

adjoining house and ho received a severe
stun. After a few minutes ho was able to
proceed on his way home, which he
scarcely had entered before it was mado
the mark for another thunder bolt and
he received another severe shock. Light
ning may not strike twice iu tbe same
place but it evidently is no respector of'
persons.
The dispatches yesterday morning stated
that Deputy United States Marshal Lilly,
who formerly was on the police force in
this city, had been shot by horse thieves.
His son, C. G. Lilly, who is in the employ
of tho post office department in this city,
being carrier No. 10, immediately tele
graphed to Deputy Marshal Grimes, at
Guthrie, to ascertain the particulars. IIo
received word last night from Grimes,
stating that he knew nothing of the par
ticulars but thought it was probably a
mistake, as he had received no official
word in regard to it, and thought Lilly
and nuother deputy marshal were east of
Guthrio. So it is very probable that the
men killed were others than the marshals.
Lunelle, the little infant daughter of
Mr. aud Mrs. D. E. Zartman has closed
its earthly existence. The blessings of
her quiet life, that were as instilled dew,
have with that life been exhaled to heaven.
Six months and six days seem a brief
period as measured by three score and ten,
but the longest life is as brief as that of
little Lunelle's when eternity becomes the
background. Every day of that brief, gen
tle life impressed the mother's heart moro
than all the affair of the great world be
side and its withdrawal leaves more sor
row for that home thuu words can encom
pass. Alone unto our Father's will.
One thought hath reconciled

Tho well-known couductor on the Mis
souri Pacific, Steve Hayden, who runs into
Wir-liifji wns in tlifi r.itv vestfirdav. lip.
tells a story of a favorite dog of his, whose
name is "Old Sam." A year ago, when he
was out west, he gave tho old fellow to a
friend in Washington. He had seen nor
heard nothing more of him until a few
mornings ago, when tho dog knocked at
his door, where he was stopping. The j
dog had traveled all the way back '
from Washington, a distance of over j
1,000 miles, to see his old master,
and came to the door and gave
the usual alarm. The dog was consider
ably emaciated by Ms long journey. Mr.
Havden has learned a grand lesson in
being a faithful friend, and will make the
shady side of Sam's life pleasant indeed.
These is something pathetic in an incident
like this, and shows man is not so very
superior after all.

BUNTING WITH A MULE.
NOT EAGER FOR THE CHASE, BUT
HAVING STARTED HE LED.
A Chicago Man Has a Unique Experi
ence In the Annals of Pox Hunting by
3flghfr His Beast Was Among: the First
in at the Finish Ho Came Later.
Theodore Winde, a Chicago young man
who has made a good deal of money on the
board of trade without being known as a
regular member, used to go down into Ar
kansas every fall for a few weeks' hunt
ing. Ho had quite a circle of friends
among the people in the Ozark country,
and whatever they could do for his enter
tainment was done with a promptness and
freedom that made the gift doubly wel
come. They were great fellows to hunt
foxes, and chose clear moonlight nights
for this choicest of sports. He had gone
with them on a good many other chases,
but had never yet followed the hounds af
ter night, and expressed a wish to do so.
The family with which he had been stop
ping had a good horse that had given him
an excellent mount on the daylight runs,
but it was bo spirited that he did not care
to rida it on a night chase. So a neighbor
offered to exchange with him, giving a
mule instead. All the young men in tho
country told him the mule was a famous
hunter, and that it would follow tho
hounds through tire and water, and that
all he had to do was to hang on. But on
the evening of tha meet, when ho gathered
at the edge of the wood, he concluded that
the mule affair was their way of playing a
Joke on the city young man.
"That mule stood there by tho fence with
his head down, his halter loose and noth
ing to keep him from running away in tha
excitement of that time of preparation,"
says Mr. Winde. "I thought it was a joke,
but got down from the spirited horse and
got ready to mount tho mule, thinking i
they wanted a littlo fun with me they
might have it; thoy had earned it.
SLOW WORK.
" 'Now, you can ride, can you?' asked tha
mule's owner.
" 'Well, I guess I can rido that mule,' I
answered.
" 'When he gets ready to run don't you
try to hold him just let him go and hang
on.'
"I said 'All right,' and got up on the
beast, and heneverstirred a muscle. There
were about twenty of us, and there must
have been a hundred hounds. Some of
them wero old fellows and knew their busi
ness and some were younger and some of
them were just taking their first lesson in
hunting. We started off after a bit, the
mulo in the rear and mo kicking him
with my heels and trying to get him to bo
respectable, and failing constantly. The
first mile or two was awful work. I wore
myself out belting and bumping that mule,
but he wouldn't go faster than a lazy trot.
And that trotl It loosened every joint in
my body. It made me bite my tongue, and
it bruised me so quickly I had no time to
blister.
"Presently one of the young dogs struck
an old scent, and in iis inexperienco began
to bay hopefully. Still tho mule stumbled
on. Then a better dog thought he smelled
something promising, and ho started an
alarm, which all the younger ones swelled
at once to that plaintive, beseeching roar
of foxhounds while ranging. Not a sign
from the mule. But all of a sudden there
was that eager, short, agonized yelp of tho
old hounds as they pulled away from tho
pack and cut out tho pace on a perfectly
fresh trail.
"And if that old mule didn't know what
was tho matter I hope to die. He unlim
bered himself and pricked up first one and
then the other of those awfully long ears;
he changed his trot to n gallop and pushed
right up through tho band of well mount
ed hunters, going straight to the front nnd
just simply stabbing the earth with his
little hoofs in an effort to overtake the
hounds.
FAST RIDIJCG.
" 'Don't try to hold him just hang on,'
cried my friend, as I shot past him; and I
gave myself up to that task as well as I
could, for ho had me pretty well frightened.
On he went through tho woods, just miss
ing a great sycamore on one side and a
rock on the other, crashing into and over a
heap of brush or tho top of a fallen tree,
plunging into wide creeks and leaping over
narrow ones, till I thought my end was
come. But I couldn't let go.
"My only hope was that ho wonld let up
after a while and givo me a chance to get
away. One-half of my shoo was ripped
from my foot, and the half of my coat had
gone to keep it company. My hands and
f;tce wero scratched and bleeding, but I led
the chase and led it easily.
"Finally wo came to a high rail fence
ten rails nig1! and I said to myself, 'Now
I have got him.' But I hadn't. He just
kept on galloping right at that fence, but
he seemed to bo studying it, and feeling
the bits as if they didn't set just right. I
pulled away harder than ever, for I felt if
he undertook to jump thnt fence Ije would
kill himself and me too. But he didn't try
to go over it; he just went through it. He
went right at it with a rush, threw his
forelegs high enough to get them over the j
top anu tnacsettiea tno lence. uown it
came mule, man and all and he clam
bered out and went on without losing a
minute.
"That was a cotton field. It was rank
and tall, and the balls whipped me In the
ice, and tho strong stalks grasped my
lothes and tore them, but I couldn't get
away, and just sawed at the bits and prayed
for a dead wall or a pitfall or a stroke of
lightning. Out on the farther side of the
field the fence was down and we went out
all right.
IK AT THE 7TXI3H.
"There was the creek, and the hounds
were just creeping up the further bank. It
was high and steep. 1 thought this would
end it, but it didn't. That mule went &t it
frantically. He leaped from the high bank
as if he were a sort of winged steed, and
landed right in the middle of tho water.
But he didn't waste a minute. He clam
bered up the farther bank and ehot away
again after them and the nearest horK

A CHINESE "" DELICATESSEN 'STORE.
PlES and Poultry Made Slnpnlarly Ft
cinatin and Sold Very Cheap.
Perfumed ducks, pickled oysters and
beautifully roasted and powdered pigs,
with pink ears and red nostrils, aro the
characteristic sights that ornament a
Chinese delicatessen store. There is 3-66
only one of theso unique shops among tha
10,000 Chinese of New York, but unless its
enterprising owner can obtain n patent for
the business there will probably bo other
ilaces opened soon, as he is doing a rush
ag business both day and night. His
trade is especially great in summer, be
cause the Chinauiau, like his American
white cousins, will not cook a meal in hot
days unless he is actually forced to do so.
The Chinese delicatessen store is repleto
with the appetizing dishes of the Chinese
household, and they are dono up not only
in better style but with much better ma
terials and more tasty than tho average
food of an ordinary Chinese family.
Everything is exposed to view iu the
most conspicuous manner possible A
whole pig, fat and juicy, baked in highly
spiced liquor nnd then baked a crimpy
brown, while cooling in the air is slightly
anointed on its back with a rich coat of
aee yo (vegetable oil) and salt. The ears
aud nose are dyed in vermilion; the cntir
carcass is made as attractive to the eyo and
as tempting to the appetite as possible.
It is then hung by its littlo chubby tail
upon a hook near the door in very much
the same fashion as a Dutchman's butcher
shop. "When a customer comes In he i3
asked which part of the hog he wants. It
is then chopped off at twenty-fivo cents per
pound. The same price prevails through
out the entire pig.
The liver and entrails aro cured sepa
rately from the rest of the body, and then
are sold at half tho rate of the body. On
nn average three pigs a day aud u dozen or
more of ducks and chickens nru disposed
of in quarter pound lots, besides otherdeli
cacies. Tho present boss of this establishment
is a favorite Chinese caterer, who ran once
tho big Chineso restaurant at IS Mott
street. IIo couldn't agree with his part
ners and he quietly retired to a neighbor
ing hallway, where he set up for himself
in retailing Chineso portable dishes tho
very dishes he used to mako up for his
guests at tho Chinese Delmonlco's. To the
Mirpripe and annoyance of his old part
ners, the old caterer took many of his pa
trons with him, who would rather eat his
dishes cold than to eat them steaming hot
ut the restaurant.
The difference between a Caucasian and
a Chinese delicatessen store is immense.
Tbe one always sells stale meat and rot
ten cheese; the other roasts live pigs (killed
within an hour bofore they aro prepared
for roasting), chickens und ducks in tha
same way.
The ono costs hundreds of dollars to
start and make3 little profits, while the
Chineso delicatessen shop costs only the
twenty dollars to buy the meats und makes
big profits. An ordinary hallway is amply
big enough for a good sized Chinese deli
catesson shop. "Wong Chin FoO in New

Ammonia In llread SXakius.
This substance take3 its name from the
place where it was originally mado, near
tho temple of Jupiter Ammon. It is one
of the best known products of tho labora
tory. It is most easily obtain wl by tho
action of lime on nal ainmomac, or muriato
of ammonia. The sal ammoniac and lime
arc heated together in a retort or iron pot,
and by the action of the salta employed
are raised into vapor and condensed again
into earthen receivers. The carbonic acid
of the chalk unites with the sal ammoniac,
generating carbonate of ammonia.
A small quantity of thia in the dough is
acted on by the heat, and the tboa lib
erated raises the mass, o aa to produce tbe
light, fluffy, fl-tJcy appearance m durable
in bread and biscuit. When first produced,
and so long as it is kept from tha action of
the air, carbonate of ammonia Is in hard,
white, translucent masses, crystalline is
appearance, with a pnogant smHI aim
sharp taste. If tlr Is allowed to rrach it,
it gradually falls into powder and iotw
strength. Some of the best bakers always
allow it to "slack" bforu using it, claim
ing that in it? original state it dow not
work so Miiafactory as after tb action of
tbe atmosphere upon it
It1s frequently called "brthorn," from

No Chance In History.
I remember Mazzini saying that ho did
not behevo that chance existed in history.'
"A causa must necessarily underlie every
event, although for the moment it may ap
pear as the result of apparently accidental
circumstances. An Alexander, a Cukot, a
Napoleon are not tho results of uocidtmt,
but the inevitable product of the time and
nation from which they sprityr. It tow
not Ciesar who destroyed the Itoman re
public; tho republic was dsad Wforo
Coosar came. Sulla, Marius, CatiHno pre
ceded and foreshadowed Ctosar, but ho
gifted with keener insight ami greater '
geniu-s suatched tho power from them
und concentrated it in his own hands.
"For thero was no doubt that ho was
fitter to rule than all tho othors put to
gether. At tho Mimo time, supposing ho
had appeared a hundred and fifty yonra
earlier, he would not linvo succeeded la
destroying the republic. When 1m enmo
tho life had already gone out of it, ami
even Caosar's death could not restore that.'
