Washington letter in Detroit Timet.
A book canvasser out working very
liard taking orders for the sale of Blaine’s
new book in New York entered the office
of Roseoe Conkling. “I have a very in
teresting hook here,” said the agent, ‘*l
would like to have you give me a sub
scription. It must interest you, sir. It
•is the record of twenty years in Congress,
during the period, sir, when you were
such a prominent actor.”
‘■May I inquire,” said Conkling, J’the
name of the author of this interesting
work ?”
“The Hon. James G. Blaine, of Maine,”
said the book agent with a flourish.
“I do not want the book,” said Conk
ling. grimly, turning away.
“But,” said the agent, “your portrait is
In it,”
“Its presence in that book is wholly
unauthorized,” said Conkling. “Good
day, sir.”
Of course after this the agent retired in
good order.
CONGRESS ION Ali MAIR.
Congressmen Who Get the Most Letters.
Not many years ago, says the Chicago
Times, the mail for the House of Repre
sentatives used to be carried from the
city post office to the eapitol in a single
pouch; it now makes fifteen one-horse
wagon loads. Mr. Dalton, Postmaster of
the House, says that every paper printed
in the United States passes through his
office, lor the publishers of newspapers
everywhere send copies of their journals
to their respective Congressmen. The
member of the House who gets the largest
mail i9 Speaker Carlisle. Next to him
Messrs. Morrison and Randall, Chairmen
of the two mo6t important commit
tees. After these three statesmen
Perrv Belmont gets more mail than
any other member. The Northwestern
members get more mail on an average
than the Congressmen from any other sec
tion. Col. George R. Davis gets more mail
than any other member from Illinois, ex
cept Col. Morrison. Close after him come
Judge Payson and Mr. Springer. The
former gets a great piany letters favoring
his attitude on the land grant question.
The same is true ol Mr. Cobb, Chairman
of the Public Lands Committee, who gets
a very heavy mail. Mr. Kasson anil
Judge Murphy, of lowa, get great quanti
ties of mail matter. Mr. Matson, of In
diana, is Chairman of the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, and this, of course,
brings him a great deal of mail. He often
gets 100 letters a day, besides newspapers
and postal cards.
The Goose Bone.
Xete Orleans Picayune.
There is something about the “goose
bone,” as a winter weather-prophet, that
is a little curious, and it may be entitled
to a passing notice.
The believers in the goose-bone prophet
are most ol them men of sense, and some
of them men ol education. Dr. Walter
Brashear, of St. Mary parish, Louisiana,
a stern and solid old Kentuckian, believed
in the goose bone forty or fifty years before
he died. I can mention intelligent sugar
planters who say the goose-hone prophet
has never deceived them. Dr. Brashear
had thirty goose bones, representing
thirty winters previous to his death, and
he had the records of those winters, each
record made after the “goose bone” had
indicated the weather. He often invited
doubters to examine his records and his
prophets, and then decide whether they
were false prophets or true.
The goose bone includes the whole of
the bone of the lower bone of the goose—
the thin, broad cupping bone, with a re
versed centre board underneath, extend
ing nearly the whole length ol the princi
pal bone. lam not well enough acquaint
ed with this prophet to explain his pro
phecies, but think that when holding it up
to the light the wide part of the centre
board of goosey’s craft represents au
tumn, and the rest, winter and spring.
Light, thin spots indicate warm weather,
and thicker and darker spots indicate
cold weather. I think those who under
stand this prophet's language much bet
ter than Ido construe the utterances of
the goose boue this season to be warm
weather, with a few cool touches up to the
Ist of January, or cold and cool weather
until March, and a backward spring. I
have never examined but one of these
weather prophets, and that was explained
by one who was not familiar with its lan
guage; so I am unable to throw much
light upon the matter. I will only say
that those who simply say, “pooh! pooh!”
and “humbug,” may as well remember
that a number of intelligent sugar plant
ers kill a young goose every October, no
tice accurately what the prophet says
about the coming winter and spring, and
believe the statement to be truthful. It
would puzzle Darwin and all the other
scientists of all ages to explain the con
nection between the bone of a goose and
the weather of winter, but there are sensi
ble, educated and scientific men who
firmly believe in goose-bone prophecy.
One I.oug-Felt Want Unfilled.
Salt Lake (Utah) Herald.
In common with other communities,
one of Utah’s wants is anew kind of boy.
The physical pattern of the average boy
of the period is good enough; in fact, is
so nearly correct that very little improve
ment in this respect could be suggested.
What we want iu the new boy is an im
proved mental and moral organization.
We want a kind of a boy that is not afraid
of work. By work we do not mean to
confine the word to* running errands,
serving as cash boys, standing behind a
dry goods counter and smiling blandly on
lady customers, to adding long columns
of figures, nor to writing a fair hand in
addressing envelopes. These are all im
portant and necessary labors and are as
honorable and praiseworthy as any others.
But all the boys cannot be cash boys,
messengers and bookkeepers, and it
is a remodeling of those
who cannot do these things
that is desired. Where there is one lad
who finds profitable and lightemployment
there are 20 who do not. These 20 are
they who require to learn to work and to
overcome their aversion to labor. We
want a race of boys who know something
of the hammer, the saw, the plane, and
the composing stick; boys who are not
afraid to soil their hands with forge
cinders or printer’s ink: boys who can dig
and delve, who can handle the pick,
shovel and trowel, who can roll a wheel
barrow, plow, sow and reap; who can
build and produce. Parents may do much
in the matter of bringing upon the field of
action the improved bov by teaching their
lads that the noblest aspiration in this life
is the ambition to do something and be
something. Teachers also can help along
by teaching boys that it is just as honor
able and praiseworthy to shove a plane or
swing a hammer as it is to measure tape
and calico, and that it is positively dis
graceful to loiter about the streets waiting
for an easy job.
Punch His Head.
Detroit Free-Press.
There was nothing mean in his looks,
but at the same time he had no business
in the ladies’ cabin of the terry-boat. She
had scarcely left Windsor when he sat
down within two feet of a woman about
40 years old and whispered:
“There's going to be some tun when we
land in Detroit.”
“Sir!” she replied, as she drew away a
little.
“Oh, you just get ready for it!” he
chuckled; “you’ll see a woman get the
worst set-back you ever heard tell of!”
“What do you mean?” she asked with
sudden interest.
“See that girl over there?”
She did. Indeed, as the girl was the
third and only other passenger in the
cabin, she couldn't help but see her.
“That girl is smuggling five yards of
dress goods!” whispered the man!
“No!”
“Saw her buy it in Canada!”
“And would you be mean enough to tell
the customs officer?"
“Don’t have to! They have instruc
tions this morning to search every passen
ger. That’s the reason 1 didn’t bring
over anew overcoat.”
He got up and slid out with that, leav
ing thq two females alone, When the
boat landed the girl walked off as calmly
as a clam, but the woman looked pale
and flustrated and mad.
“Let’s make a tour!” chuckled the mean
man as he beckoned the customs officer
aboard.
“Of what?”
“Of the cabin,”
They entered the place, and under the
seat in the far corner they discovered a
bundle containing two pairs of stockings,
a pair of gloves, three yards of silk and a
yard or two of plush.
“By George!” said the customs man.
“1 knew I could scare her!” gurgled the
other.
Why John Kelly Drinks.
Mr. J. B. Gibbs, President of the Man
hattan Temperance Association, says the
New York Times, of the 29th, gave an ac
count yesterday of his interview, on tem
perance matters, with John Kelly, which
took place a few days ago.
“ ‘What do you propose to do with the
question, Mr. Kelly?* I asked.
“‘I propose to fight it out, until these
infernal places are reduced in number,’
he answered.
“‘I understand you own a number of
buildings and blocks which are leased to
the owners of dives ?’
“Says he, ‘Mr. Gibbs, there never was a
drop of liquor sold in any place I own,
and there never will be.’
“ ‘You yourself are charged with drink
ing intoxicants, Mr. Kelly,’ says I trem
blingly.
“‘Well,’ he remarked, ‘I don’t say I
never touch them, because I do. But I
never drink intemperately. 1 am thrown
among so many drinking ieople that 1
am obliged to do as they do. Clear case
ol force of circumstances on character.
I wouldn’t touch a drop of liquor if I
were not forced to do so.’ ”
Mr. Gibbs stated that Mr. Kelly was
gpipg to bring the temperance questiou
prominently before his party. A resolu
tion was passed by which Sir. Kelly will
be invited to speak before the Manhattan
Temperance Association at some future
date.
Opinion of Dr. Mott, Late Government
Chemist, on AUeock’s Porous Plaster.
Mv investigation of Allcock’s Porous
Plaster shows it to contain valuable and
essential ingredients not present in any
other Plaster. These ingredients are so
perfectly proportioned that the Allcock’s
Porous Plaster will not cause Blisters or
Excessive Irritation, and I find it superior
to and more efficient than any other Plas
ter.
Henry - A. Mott, Jr., Ph.D., E.C.S.,
Prof, of Chemistry N. Y. Med. Col., etc.
JJo not waste your money buying inferior
articles. Tell your druggist you want
Allcock’s Porous Plasters, aijd do not
take others made to sell on the reputation
of the genuine article.
CRITICISM FROM UNDER BON
NETS.
Free Lessons In Music to a Student of
Human Nature.
A'&ic York Sun.
A student of human nature who attend
ed a pepular concert recently was filled
with joy and wonder bv the display of
learning made by two ladies sitting be
hind him. The student did not know a
great deal about music, though he felt
reasonably sure ol telling the difference
between a funeral march and a galop, and
consequently he drank in with great
avidity the tree instruction which came
from behind him. The conversation began
when Mozart's “Magic Flute” overture
was half played.
“How funny! Do you hear anything of
the flute?”
“Not a thing.”
“Well, if I had been writing an overture
about a flute I would have made the in
strument more prominent.”
“So would I; but just look at the fur on
that woman’s cloak!”
“Isn’t it lovely?”
“Yes; I wonder how much it cost.”
“What, the overture?”
“No, the fur.”
“<>b, I meant the music.”
“Oh, yes, of course. What are they
playing now?”
“Here it is, ‘Airs de ballet, Orfee et
Eurydice.’ It has a dance of the furies in
it. I shouldn’t think furies would want
to dance.”
Then there was silence tor a little
space. Soon the band played the allegret
to from Beethoven’s eighth symphony.
When it was finished, one lady said to the
other:
“How sweet and simple!”
“Yes, but that wasn’t the symphony;
a symphony is longer than that ! know.”
“Well, what was it?”
“Why, this thing here, see? ‘Dance of
the Furies.”
“Oh, yes, that’s what it must have
been.”
Soon a young lady appeared and sang
two Schubert songs.
“I don’t think much of those songs, do
you ?”
“No, but they say he is a great song
writer.”
"I don’t see it. Now they're going toplay
the overture to - William Tell.’ ”
“What is that instrument that is begin
ning it?”
“Good gracious, dear! don’t you know ?
Why, that’s a bass violin.”
Silence reigned until the lovely English
horn solo began.
“W hat kind of a thing is that playing
now ?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly. It isn’t a
clarinet, is it?”
“No.”
“It’s a bassoon, I guess.”
By and by the orchestra began Gounod’s
“Funeral March of a Marionette.” It
begins with a tutti passage ending with
a crash on the cymbals. The two ladies
jumped.
“My goodness! That don’t sound like a
funeral march, does it?”
“That’s what’s on the programme.”
“Well, the man must have died sudden
ly.”
The band played Wagner's “Invitation a
la Valse.” The rapid loud passage
which precedes the soft and gentle close
deceived the audience. They thought the
piece was ended and applauded. Then
when the music continued, they were sur
prised.
“That’s just like Theodore Thomas.
He’s always trying to do something
smart. He did that on purpose, 1 know
he did. See him laugh 1 I knew he was
trying to be smart. He just thinks he has
done it, now!”
A Legend of Nlagarii.
Detriot Free Press.
A great want has jusl been filled. Le
gends about the Niagara Falls have been
so scarce that it will be great relief to
many to know that anew one has been
discovered. Not exactly new. either, for
it is written on old parchment, and must
have been lying where it was found for
many years, but, a9 it has just recently
been discovered, it is to the present
generation new. While shoveling snow
from the steps of the Extortion Hotel just
after the recent heavy fall the übove-re
ferred-to parchment was found. The fol
lowing is a free translation of its contents:
“John Jackson, a young man of some
pugilistic attainments, who dearly
loved a handsome young lady in
Buffalo, determined 'to take’ his
darling to the falls for a trip.
Now, John, like many other Buf
falo young men, didn’t know much about
the outside world, and had never been
warned to avoid the Niagara Falls hack
man. It was with a light heart that he
stepped from the train on that bright Mav
morning, and with Miss Angelina Thomp*-
son hanging gracefully on his arm, started
gaily for the great cataract, little dream
ing of the terrible late that awaited him
and that was destined to bring to so
gloomy a close a day which seemed to
have dawned the brightest of all the days
of the year. The couple had gone but a
few- steps when they were accosted by a
hackman, who said:
“Have a hack, sir?”
“No!”
“Better take a hack. This is ‘one ot
the finest,’ and I’ll drive you to all the
points of interest.”
“No: we’ll walk!”
“What! Do you mean to say that
you’re going to make that young lady foot
it over these rough streets? If I had as
handsome a lady as you have I wouldn’t
he so penurious as to make her tramp
around here and have sore feet for a
week.”
Now John, as was formerly hinted, had
some knowledge of the manly art, and the
remark about penuriousness grated on his
finer feelings. Angelina said :
“Oh. never mind him, John.”
But John's blood was up. So he put up
his hands and gave the impudent hack
man one in the neck. In an instant they
were surrounded. All the hackmen came
to the rescue of their co-laborer. Ange
lina screamed, and that made John ner
vous, and he could not attend to his coun
ters and guards. The only faint made
was by Angelina, and the blows from
whips, fists and other missiles that rained
on John from all sides made him retreat
in dismay. And this, the day that opened
so brightly, closed darkly, particularly in
the region of John Jackson’s eyes. But
as he washed the blood from his* face ami
tied Angelina’s handkerchief around his
throbbing temples he was heard to mutter,
“I will he revenged.”
* * * * * * *
Several weeks had passed. The cata
ract was still doing business at the old
stand, and waving on high its glorious
plume of white spray. The hackmen were
also at the old stand. The battle with the
young Buffalo man bad ceased to be a
topic among them, and in the wild rush
for worldly gain they had almost forgot
ten the face of Jackson. A wild shriek
pierces the morning air, and the train
from Buffalo, with clanging bell and hiss
ing steam, brings up at the depot. John
Jackson walks from the train. At his
side is a person in female attire, but the
person has not the handsome form and
smiling face of Angelina. The hackmen,
in the aforesaid rush for worldly gain, do
not recognize the man.
“Have a hack, sir?”
“No.”
“Better take a hack. It’s fifteen miles
to the Falls.”
“No; we will walk.”
“Oh, you’re a pretty fellow to make
that young girl trudge around—”
That was as far as he got, Jack’s arm
had straightened. Hffc fist had come in
contact with the nose of the speaker.
The noble form of the hackman was gro
veling in the dust. It was at this period
that the conduct of the person in female
attire became noticeable. There was no
scream and nobody swooned, while the
attitude assumed was not a usual one for
a lady. The hat dropped forward until it
nearly touched the nose, while the lists—
very iarge ones for a lady—were tightly
clinched and the elbows drawn back in a
Pat Rooney style, which plainly showed
that their owner would put up with no
nonsense. The other hackmen rushed to
the rescue of their fallen companion,
but the first to arrive received such a
stiuging blow from John’s companion
that he retired in dismay. The second
was similarly dealt with, and he also took
a back seat. ’ In the meantime John was
not idle. He kicked, thumped and other
wise maltreated his antagonist until he
felt that the dishonor heaped upon him
during his previous visit had been whipped
out. Then his companion took bis arm,
and, looking up into his face with a sweet,
seaside-musing smile, said: “Did you see
me get away with that red-nosed coon
that tried to interfere?” The loving couple
went immediately to a hotel, and shortly
after they had disappeared through the
doorway two young men came out. One
of them was John while the other was a
stranger and carried a small bundle. The
woman has never since been seen alive.
A Little of the Juice, I’lease.
Albany Argus.
It was at Mrs. Simpson Hendricks’
table, and Dumley was evidently mad
about something.
“There they are,” he whispered to
young Brown, “the same old canned
peachers that we have had every night
lor six months.”
Presently the landlady asked:
“Will you have some ol the peaches,
Mr. Dumley?”
“*Xo,” he replied, as shortly as he
deared, being two weeks in arrears: “I
never eat peaches except in the natural
state.”
“But these are brandied peaches,” said
Mrs. Hendricks; “some that I have just
put down.”
Dumley saw his mistake and faltered:
“No,” he finally decided, “I won’t take
any peaches, but you might give me a
little of the juice.”
Mrs. S. M. Robbins, Wadley, Ga., says:
“I found great relief using Brown’s Iron
Bitters for spinal affection of long stand
ing,”
