venue Something Curicus Happened. A boy ten years old pulling a heavy cart loaded with pieces ot boards anc laths taken from some demolishec structure—an every day sight in al our cities. Tired and exhausted halted under ¢ were beuised rags, his face pin years older than must be the thoughts o as he looks out upor fine houses, the rich rolling carriages—the happy faces « those who have never known wha was to De poor? heart and make it wicked, or does bring a feeling of loneliness wretchedness—a wondering if rich man’s Heaven is not so far fron the poor man’s Heaven that ill never catch sight of the faces? The boy lay down tree, znd che the and in five minutes was sound asleep. His bare feet just touched the curb- stone, and the old hat fell from his on grass, head and rolled to the walk. In the shadow of the tree his face told a story that every passer-by could read. kt told of scanty food—of nightg when the body shivered with cold— of home without sunshme—of a young life contronted by shadows. Then something curious happened. A laboring man—a queer old man } with a wood-saw on his arm—crossed the street to rest a momeat beneath the same shade. bey and turned away, but his look was drawn again, and now he saw the picture and read the story. He, too, was poor. it was to shiver and hunger. He tip- toed along until he could bend over the boy, and then he took from his pocket a piece of bread and meat the dinner he was to eat it he found work—and laid it down beside the lad. Then he walked care‘ully away, looking back every moment, but hastening out of sight as it he wanted to escape thanks. Men, women and children had seen it all, and what a lever it was! The human heart is ever kind and generous, but sometimes there is nced of a key to open it. A man walked down from his steps and left a halt-dollar beside the poor man’s bread. A woman waiked down and left a good hat in place of the old one. A child came with a pair of shoes and a_ boy brought a coat and vest. Pedesteri- ans halted and whispered and drep- ped dimes and quartets beside the first silver piece. Something curious had happened. The charity of a poor old man had unlocked the hearts of a scere people. Then something strange occurred, The pinched taced boy suddenly awoke, and sprang up as if it were a crime to sleep there. He saw the bread—the clothing—the money—the score of people waiting around to see what he would do. He knew that he had slept, and he realized that all things had came to him as he dreamed. Then what did he do? Why, he sat down and covered his face with his hands and sobbed like a grieved child. They had read him a sermon greater than ailthe sermons of church They had set his heart to swelling and jumping until it choked him. Poor, ragged and wretched, and feeling that he was no more to the world than a stick or stone-—he had awak- ened to find that the world regarded him as a human being worthy of and entitled to pity. of Politics in Green County. Springticld, Mo., Aug. 30.—Ex- Judge W. Price of this city, our elderly lawyer, moted for his eccen- tricities, is making a weak but fu- tile attempt to be the fourth candi- | date in the race for congress in this district, claiming that the Democrat- | ic party has strayed and left him, and that he is champion of the poor people. He published to-day a lengthy circular defining some of his | views, which in many re- are a queer admixture of pol- itics and religion. Mr. Price was | for a brief season just before the | war treasurer of the Unitea States under Buchanan’s administration. {lis candidacy for congress will cut | no figure whatever in the present campaign, however | | he His feet id sore, his clothes in looking Does it harden the He glanced at the | He, too, knew what | } in ranks without arms, in their long | , there came a long, low roll of drums ; thing that happens in Russia.

Nevertheless, he had given no or- ders? There was no soldier to chastise. **Who is that for?” he demanded. A grenadier advanced trom the ranks, and replied with terrible ceol- missioned officers and soldiers were in the plot. The whole regiment was present at the terrible spectacle. The Colonel was seized, his unitorm torn off; he was tied down in a wheelbarrow and wheeled up ard down before the ranks of the grena- diers, armed with rods, all of whom struck and insulted him. The officers who attempted to aid their Colonel were immediately seized and bayonets pointed at their throats. Some were taken away, others garroted. Only one soldier attempted to take part with them. Then a Sergeant, still pallid trom the ettects of his last whipping with the knout, put his musket to the soldier’s temple and blew his brains out. And all the regiment saw its Colo- | nel pass under the rods. i When it was all over they opened a kiln oven. The Colonel was flung into it, all bleeding, together with the officers who had obeyed him. And when the furnace was well filled, the soldiers heated it slowly, slowly—until at last that hideous, heavy and revolting smell ot burning flesh arose in the air, which the s ges of the Russian frontier inhaled some days ago at a Jewish cemetery at Smargon. An imperial courier bore to the Czar the news of the mutiny. Nicho- | las listened, became white, but said nothing except to order four batteries ot artillery to Novgorod. Ten days aftera white-haired and gray-mus- tached Major General, accompanied bya single aide-de-camp, knocked at fhe door of the barracks which the soldiers had never left since the murder ot their chiefs. The General Gazed coldly upon those pale men; all neatly and tault- lessly uniformed, wno gavo him the military salute. ot one reproach—not one useless | word. He only said to them: **At 6 o’clock to-morrow morning the regiment will assemble in un- dress uniform and without arms at | the ‘Tartar camp, upon the Little | Square.
