Biu.v On a n in.Kit IhinkH Bluiiio should be laid on the shelf. Billy is extravagant as ever, or he wouldn’t be willing to waste a shelf on Blaine. In 1888 the democratic column will bo composed of the states of the solid south, New York, Indiana, New .lersey, Con necticut, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, California, Nevada, Oregon, New Hamp shire, and probably will include Ohio, Massachusetts and Maine. Republicans, take notice! A writer in the Montgomery Adver tiser is plagiarising the style of David the psalmist. Just, listen at him: “Let steel hulking in Alabama be successfully begun and Birmingham real estate will overtop the mountains that shadow Jones valley and the very dust of the town become as solid as the iron-ribbed hills.” I'm nck A i.uxANiHvit will receive $800,000 in cash and have his debts paid, amount ing to as much more, as indemnity for his deposition. Bulgaria, which did not want him deposed, will have to pay the money, the obligation therefor being in dorsed by Russia, the Bulgarian treasury being empty. The officials of Alexander’s court will also be Indeminifietl. This is a pointer for princes. If they are hard up, or out of it job, they can have them selves deposed. Mu. Bi.aixb has probably conceived of a hundred plans by which he hopes to thwart the will of the American people and yet install himself in the white house. The delicious morsel lmng so long near his quivering lips that lie does not yet realize that it was not intended for him. Thus it is that having been so thoroughly confident he is willing to resort to any desperate scheme to accom plish this one hope of his life. But Mr. Blaine is doomed to disappointment. Dav goods dealers and ladies handle dress fabrics all their lives and speak of j them f"‘«.iliarly, but probably very few I of them know the origin of the names I they pronounce so glibly. Damask, I most people know, gets its name from I Damascus; but how many know that 1 satin is from Zaytown in China? Calico j 'Oiiies from Calicut, a town in India, \ Muslin is named for Mosul in Asia; alii- j puea is from an animal in IVru; buck- - ram from Bochara; fustian from Fostat, a city ol the middle ages, cambric from ; Cambria, gauze from Gaza, baize from j Bavac, dimity from Dumietta, and jeans from Jean. Drugget is named for Drog- j lieda, and duck for Torque. Blanket is named alter one Thomas fllanko. Velvet is from the Italian Vellnto. In the rush of modern life we lose sight of the be ginnings of things and the origin of names. Titos wood’s Austrialian puzzle, which is now creating a furor throughout the country, is a device consisting of six email bits of wood which may be put together in such a way as to form six squares, the puzzle being in putting them together in this shape. It was invented in 17DU, and after fifty years of litigation ttie suit involving the title has been de cided. Tiie trial of the suit for £50,000 took place in London August 5, before the court of chancery for Essex, Sir Mouteith Hargrave presiding. It has been patented throughout the world, as it invoices a scientific principle and is Ueud extensively for building suspension bridges. Mr. George C. Wood, of Mil waukee, has the controlling interest in representing the American heirs. A Cincinnati dispatch says: James M. Sworn- stedt, the noted holy prophet of Walnut Hills, in an interview to-day, stated that the recent earthquake was caused by bad spirits in the bowels of the earth. They i^the spirits) are intel ligent as men, and have complete knowledge of the uses of dynamite, gunpowder, etc. They have been trying to blast a passage to the surface of the earth, and thus escape bondage. The ex plosions incident to these operations have caused the earthquakes. I have foretold this phenom ena. It is a sign of the end of the Christian age. , The United States will be destroyed within two years, and all the wicked people will die, and the others will go to Palestine. It would be a good idea for the “Holy Prophet of Walnut Hill,” and Professor McGee to meet and hold a joint debate on their respective theories. The “Holy Prophet” is a little off—a little crippled under the hat but that only fits him the better for grasping Professor McGee’s theories. We can’t say that we have absolute faith in the theory of either the “Holy Prophet” alias Swornstedt, or Professor MeGee; but in choosing be tween the two, give us the “Prophet’s” HiggWHM—ti UNITED AT I,ANT. Ex-Governor Fairchild, Commander of the Grand Arniy of the Republic, recent ly visited Charleston. He saw the deso lation and distress, present and threaten ed. Moved by that touch of nature which is said to make the whole world kin, he issued an appeal tolhe army foV aid for the sufferers. The dispatches state that it is meeting a hearty response from every post, and that almost wherever an old soldier can be found be is giving of bis own substance and collecting from others for the aid of the razed and crumbled city by the son. This fact is, perhaps, the most significant and pleasing inci dent of the many which this calamity has brought like bright bubbles to the surface of the body politic. It is true the laying low of Charleston was enough to moisten the eyes and open the palm of any individual man. Who has not heard of Charleston? Set in the rim of the sighing sea like a gem on the bosom of beauty, and girded about by memories of the solemn and mi. ty pa t history has embalmed its traditions in fadeless ink, and the school children of two hemispheres have learned to lisp its name. For two centuries it has been the capital of chivalry, and the sun and cen tre of the south’s loftiest civilization. But as fire is as much a had master as it is a good servant, so the hot blood in the swarthy Carolinian’s veins which makes him impulsive in his generosity, makes him also quick to resent. When the murky cloud of the great conflict between the states swam up on the horizon like some cruisoT, strange and black, from tho evil world, .South Carolina greeted the portentious omen with wild hurralis of delight. South Carolina was first in the war, as she was honestly in the war, and Charleston, her metropolis, was the head and front of the offending. If it was a grievous sin, grievously has she answered it. For during the four years that this continent was drunk on gore, the little “Palmetto State” unstintingly poured her blood into the bottomless chalice of Mars. Sometimes stricken by a sharpshooter the Carolinian died in the dank and lonely swamp with no ear to hear bis groan or catch the gurgle of lust life blood as it spouted away like water; sometimes on fields that were shot-sown aiul blarled with steel, he leaped into eternity to the wild thrumming music of a thousand harps of war. But wher ever he fell he counted as one precious coin to pay the little commonwealth’s awful debt to the gods. After the war South Carolina again be came a part of the union—a fragment that was pinned to the rest with bayonets and cemented with blood. She with drew into her shell. The mark ing of maps and the making of programmes for the “New South,” pos sessed no charms for her. Like Job on bis ash-heap scraping his sores with broken pottery, she begged to be left alone. And left alone she was, while the vultures of the new era fed upon her bleeding vitals. But by and by the peo ple who had ruled the gallant little state before the war began to rule again. The yoke was broken by-a superhuman ef fort, and South Carolina began to smile between her tears. She felt bettor to ward the north more and more every year. Many northern men came within her borders to live. They became citi zens and brethren in fact as well os name, Old things were passed away. The feeling of .sisterhood between the states of all the union which makes them distinct as the billow-- and one as the sea, had at last included South Carolina too. she had made ad vances toward the north and the north bad met her half way. But still there was something lacking. There was a feeling on both sides that the love that each professed was not a love that was free fiom guile. There was needed a great calamity, an earthquake, to throw haughty South Carolina sobbing into the bosom of the union. And it has come. Was it the hand of God that shook those brick mansions and mighty steeples together like the toy blocks of children ? Who knows ? His ways are not ours; and He holds the winds in His fists and the waves in the hollow of His hand. This calamity that has churned a great city into a pile of brickbats may be u blessing to the whole union. It is more blessed to give than to receive. But the crowning picture of beauty amid all this deso lation is the spectacle of the Grand Army of the Republic building up a city which twenty odd years ago they sought above till other cities to destroy. Truly the “year of jubilee” has come, and the men and women in this country are coming to love each other as they never did be fore. When Boston, the centre of the organization of the Grand Army of tho Republic, gave Charleston sixty thousand dollar-, the whole south thanked God for it, not for the money, for the spirit. Think of it, Bostonians grieving over the calamity of the people in Charleston, and helping them to rebuild their shattered homes! Of a truth the lamb and the lion are lying down together and a little child —the little child that lay in the manger at Bethlehem—is leading them both. to indicate “the percentage of losses per $1000 of the amount collected by the federal government from the adminis tration of Washington to that of Gar field.” There are sonio things in it that will surpise tho American people—-for i! shows or pretends to show that the ad ministrations of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and Van Huron were very profligate and cor rupt, compared with those of Lincoln, Johnson, Grunt and Hayes. The per centage of losses under Washington was four times us great as under Grant ; it was fifty per cent, more under Lincoln than under Johnson, and it. was twenty-four times as great uuder Grant as under Hayes. It makes tiie Hayes admini - tration the model one in American his tory—notwithstanding the little respect which the republican party is in the habit of showing for it and him in these latter days. The trick in this laughable exhibit of republican integrity was clearly exposed in the last campaign, and it is only a proof of the amazing effrontery of the republican press that the worthless old thing is reproduced at this time. It was adroitly prepared by the republican con gressional committee so as not to include the stealings of the whisky ring, the cus tom house ring, the Indian ring, the post traders’ ring, the navy ring, the star route ring, the Credit Mobilier and the other huge conspiracies and combina tions that flourished through the repub lican regime and robbed the coun try of more mpney than all the adminis trations from Washington down to Jack- son cost. It gives the losses of moneys “collected by the federal government”— and it is at this point the trick comes in, for the republican rings stole millions of money before it was collected, not from the treasury, but before it got to the treasury. It does not take into the account the $7,000,000 stolen by the whisky ring, nor ilie $5,000,000 stolen ky the star route gang, nor the $45,- 0(10,000 fraudulently pocketed by the Credit Mobilier; nor does it give us one word of explanation of the mystery by which all the republican leaders ac cumulated fortunes of half a million to five millions each on congressional sala ries of $5000. During the administration of President Grant the republican civil- service commission estimated in its re port to the government that the losses of public money at that time were one- fourth the whole revenue of the govern ment. As the revenue at that time was about $400,000,000 a year, this republican estimate made the losses $100,000,000 a year. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, of the City Temple church, London, who has been entertaining Sir. Beecher, has come to the conclusion that, as he writes to the Advance, “you must live with Mr. Beecher to understand Mr. Beecher. Before he came to be my guest I had viewed him with the wonder which may he bestowed upon a planet. Notv j that we have lived together I accord him the affection which is due to the tenderest manliness and the most wih- ome modestv.” RECOMMENDED Without Reserve. “The results of a complete analysis of several packagesofOLEVELAND S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, purchased bymysell of grocers, confirm the fact that it is made of pure and healthful materials, well manufactured, and is in every particular reliable and most whole some.

The republican press is attempting to break the force of the admirable show ing of results of seventeen months of the Cleveland administration by digging out of the rubbish of the last presidential campaigns the ridiculous, threadbare statement showing how little they stole while the government waa in their SPRINGER OPERA HOUSE.
