In the race for prosperity, the town that taxes food and heaps burdens on the poor will get left. The last prominent ecclesiastical con version to Cleveland is Harrison, the boy preacher, and he is a whole host when he gets tally warmed up. The Georgia yam will soon begin to ripen in the southern counties. Its Flori da cousin is already making its premature appearance in the market. Those who think John Kelly has gone up Salt river are mistaken. He is only recuperating at Saratoga Iroin bis labors at the National Convention. It’s about time now for the Republican papers to announce that Jeff Davis is for Cleveland. Their correspondents don't seem to be keeping up with the times. Nothing can anger Prince Bjsmarck so much as to have a crowd of French school boys wiggle their fingers at * *n. He gets too mad to even call them “av.,*ool butter’’ in return. Senator Plumb, ot Kansas, started in life as a Journeyman printer, and is now a millionaire. He doubtless took advant age of his fellows, and got all the fat takes in the office. Lieut. Greely has not been nearer than fifty ora hundred mile# to the great Hum boldt glacier for some time, hence he brought no news about the lost enthusi- asm of the Republican party. Pittsburg is to have a one-horse kind of crematory to cost J 6,000 and to be opera ted with natural gas. A good many cities are constructing their projiosed cremato ries entirely of conversational gas. New Bedford, Mass., is not taking much interest in national politics just now. The people are having all the argument they want over a proposition to appropri ate city funds to pay for Sunday brass band concerts. It would be well for the clerks at Wash ington not to respond too liberally to the appeals of the Republican committee for campaign funds. They ought to 6ave up enough money to pay their railroad fare home next March. Nashville, Tenn., has fifty base ball clubs. The big three of that city are certainly entitled to great praise for keeping the boys from getting up a riot that would lay the Cincinnati fracas in the shade. Gen. Butler will not come out as a full fledged candidate until his limbs grow long enough to straddle from the anti monopoly to a strong protection platform. He wants to be against monopolies in name and against the people in reality. Greely and his men lived for several days after their provisions gave out on soup made from their sealskin earments. This circumstance will furnish the ladies with an additional argument when they file their petitions for sealskin sacques this fall. Thousands of people will hear with re gret that liquor is no longer considered an infallible cure for snake bites. It is yet considered a pretty good remedy for or preventive of fish bites, however; so fishermen can continue to carry along their usual supply. An enterprising San Francisco show man proposes to exhibit two Chinese lep ers throughout the Eastern States. If he will get some patients suffering from cholera, the plSgue, yellow fever, small pox, and a few more horrible diseases, he will have the most interesting and taking exhibition of the age. The boycotting of those eminent Blaine papers, the New York Tribune and Phila delphia Press by the labor unions, is a pretty good off-hsnd argument that the Republican candidate is at heart an Eng lishman, and too utterly too-too to care anything about the laboring men except to get their votes. Toe eminent patriot Kellogg is hav ing some heavy work this hot weather on his fences. It is stated that the negroes in his district have deserted him, and will support Martinet, of Iberia. Kellogg’s friends are straining every nerve to save him, but it is not by any means certain that they can do so. There seems to be an impression that it will be a grave mistake to make William Dickson, who was foreman of tn first star route jury, Secretary of the National Democratic Committee. It will be better, probably, to allow the Republicans to have a monopoly of everything and every body connected with the star route business. The question, what practical benefit will flow from the Bureau of Labor Sta tistics which was created by Congress last winter? is already beginning to be asked. All the work that it is proposed it shall do is already being well done by other bureaus. The bureau, however, provide# several very good places in whieh political favorites may be stowed away. It is found that dining cars do not pay, and managers of the great lines of rail way on which such cars are used are thinking of either abandoning them and returning to the eating house system, or of raising the price of meals to fl. Un less the eating houses are conducted much better than those in many localities trav elers would rather have the dining cars at double the price now paid for meals. Alluding to the testimony given by Gen. Hawley, that Blaine is above re proach, the Boston Herald reminds its readers that Daniel Webster once pro posed, when rather full of wine, to pay the national debt out of his own pocket, while as a usual thing he was rarely pro pared to pay his own butcher's bills. Perhaps Gen. Hawley can get W. E. Chandler or G. Frisbie Hoar to bolster up his testimony. Xew York citv is very sensitive to cholera scares. On Friday a great deal of excitement was created among the officers of the Health Department by the announcement made by an excited indi vidual that there were five cases of cholera at a tenement bouse in Spring street. The people in the nelgborhood of the tene ment house thought that the plague had actually found a lodgement among them and they gave the alleged infected house a wide berth. An investigation showed that the sick people were Germans and that they were suffering from cholera morous It is probable that if cholera ap arg in this country at all this summer it will not appear until it has spread over Fighting the Cotton Worm. L Heretofore the battle against the cotton worm has chiefly been confined to the use of poisons. Experts have for several years appreciated the fact that the most promising efforts in the future would probably be those directed against the moth, and moth traps of many kinds have been tried, but they have never been fully successful. In nearly all these traps a light is us< and to attract the insects, but the radiated heat generally warns the moth before it geu close enough to be caught or burned. The wholesale destruction of insects in cities where the electric light is in use, has given anew idea to those who are in terested in the destruction of the cotton moth. While the heat very near the electric light is intense, the heated zone does not extend very far, and, hence, in sects lured by the glare are not warned of the danger until they are within the dead ly limits. It is claimed that the cotton moth can be exterminated on its first ap pearance in any locality by simply plac ing properly arranged electric lights in the fields. This theory is a very attractive one, and is no doubt correct in a great measure. There are economical and practical ques tions connected with it, however, which will prevent its extended use among planters in the near future. The electric light is not only a luxury of the present age, but a costiy luxury. Not one planter in live hundred is able to invest in even the most modest style of plant for pro ducing it, and it will probably be a long time before the conditions will be favor able for its adoption on cotton planta tions. The electric light moth trap may be used in vegetable gardens ndkr cities, but for large plantations, where the use of moth traps is desirable, some adaptation of the oil lamp will have to be used yet awhile. Workingmen for Cleveland. One of the most significant features ot the opening of the present political cam paign was the disbanding of the Young Men’s Republican Club of the Third As sembly District of New York. The club is composed almost entirely ot working men, and was organized in May last with a view to being ready for the fight by the time the Republican candidates would be nominated. The nomination ot Blaine and Logan acted as a damper on the ciub, and nearly every day since that time there have been increasing evidences of disaffec tion. "When Cleveland was nominated one after another of the members an nounced their intention to vote for him, until three-fourths of the club had avow edly deserted the standard ot the Plumed Knight. On Wednesday night the club met and by an almost unanimous vote agreed to disband. Before the lights in the hall had been extinguished, the Cleveland men bad enrolled themselves as meml>ers of the Young Men's Democratic Club of the Third Assembly District. These men had always been Republicans heretofore, and many of them were affected by Gov. Cleveland’s veto of the eight-hour law, but justified his course in the matter by asserting that he saved them from a very material reduction in their wages. There are evidences that this is but the forerunner of many similar bolts among the workingmen, who cannot be deceived further as to which party and candidate really favor their material interests. The tidal wave of reform is beginning to flow'. Voluntary Contributions. A Republican paper unfriendly to Blaine says that it is the purpose of the Republican managers to scare, coax and otherwise get money from government employes for campaign purposes. Lately quite a large number of promotions were made in the Pension Office. The promo tions were not made according to the civil service rules, but on the recommendation of the chiefs of bureaus. It is believed that all these promotions were made with the understanding that the parties bene fitted should contribute liberally to the campaign funds. The same plan prob ably will be pursued in all departments of the government. Stories have been started, and they will probably be given a sort of semi-official sanction, that a general reduction of force is about to take place. The alarm that stories like these will cause will influence the em ployes to make contributions freely. They cannot tell where the axe will fall, and they will conclude that the best way to avert misfortune will be to contribute a part of their salaries to the Republican cause. There is no doubt that the em ployes will have to bear pretty heavy as sessments, notwithstanding the civil ser vice law. Circulars soliciting voluntary subscriptions are sent to the residences ot the employes, and the law is evaded in that way. Such are the practices of the Republican party which, lately, at Chicago declared fsr civil service reform. A New Applicant for Favor. •flic combination which has been effected between the Baltimore and Ohio, Bankers’ and Merchants’ Postal Telegraph and the Bennet-Mackav Cable Companies is at tracting a great deal of attention. Of course the purpose of the combination is to draw away as much business as pos sible from the Western Union Company. As Mie public has uo particular interest in. either the new combination or the Western Union, whichever one is the most hccommodating and the most moderate in prices will get the bulk of the business. The combination controls one hundred and twenty thousand miles of wire. This is about one-third of the amount that the Western Union controls, not taking into consideration railroad wires. The wires of the combination, however, reach all the best territory of the Western Union in the East, West and South. Twenty-two millions of dollars represents the cash outlay of the combination, in cluding the cable. It is hardly probable that the combination will sell out or lease its franchises and wires. It is in the field to stay, so its promoters say, and it is probable that it will stay. It has strong ricU men at the back of it, and they are ambitious to make it a success. It appears that the anti-monopolists are not going to fight the Democrats as hard as has been expected. Their organ, Jus tice, in its issue of Thursday last, ex presses the opinion that there is no chance of electing Butler even if he should run. It says: “It, therefore, behooves anti monopolists to see whether there is any choice between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Cleve land. If there is no third candidate in the field Anti-Monopolists may be obliged to support the least objectionable of the two, neither of whom they approve of, or lose their votes. But it would be well to make up their minds slowly and carefully, with a view to the best of a bad bargain.” Be fore the last Chicago Convention the Anti-Monopolists would consider the claims of nobody but Butler. Now, it seeips, they will probably support the least objectionable of the candidates ot the Democratic and Republican parties. It is not necessary to suggest that their choice can hardly be Blaine and Logan. Mr. Jarratt, the Pittsburg labor agi tator, was appointed and confirmed Com missioner of the Bureau of Labor Sta tistics. The President, however, has de clined to sign Mr. Jarratt’s commission, for the reason, it is said, that Mr. Jarratt, a couple of months ago, in a labor har rangue, talked of the President in very disrespectful terms. It is reported that Mr. Jarratt said the President was a dude; that he owed his place to Guiteau, and that he was better fitted to be a waiter at Delmonico’s than President. If that is the sort of man Mr. Jarratt is the Presi dent is right in withholding his commis sion. There are occasions when it doesn’t pay to play the part ot a demagogue, and Mr. Jarratt will have that fact pressed home upon him in a way that he will not soon forget if he ultimately fails to get his commission. He has had a talk with the President, but has failed to impress upon him that in his labor speech he spoke of him only in a Pickwickian sense. Gen. Logan is going West. He proba bly wants to see how Blaine’s ultra pro tection letter jingles in the ears ot the people of the Republican free trade States. Cigar Men and the Tariff. The cigar men, it seems, think that a good deal depends upon them whether Cleveland or Blaine shall be President. In New York there are 25,000 voters en gaged in the different branches of the cigar business, and in the whole country 623,005. They claim that they hold the balance of power in New York, Pennsyl vania, California and Florida. If reports are to be credited they have been bolding meetings in all the cities and larger towns for the purpose of making a choice be tween Cleveland and Blaine. They propose to support the party which will give the cigar interest the most support. The cigar men are in favor of a high protec tive duty for manufactured cigars, but they want leaf tobacco admitted free. They have all along looked with favor on the Republican party because it professed itself to be the champion of the protective system. The clause of the Democratic platform, however, which favors free raw material is what they want, and they are willing to give the Democratic party their undivided and hearty support if they can get any assurance that that party, while admitting raw material free, will not disturb the existing duties on cigars. It is probable that the 600,0)0 cigar-makers will remain on the fence—supposing they are on the fence —a good while before they get any assurance of that kind. The Democratic party must look after the interests of tobacco producers and consumers, as well as of the cigar-makers. Cincinnati is considerably stirred up on the liquor question. Out of 3,500 saloon keeper in the city only 300 have paid their taxes under the Scott liquor law r . A pen alty ot 20 per cent, additional has been as -Bessed*against the delinquents, and now executions are to be issued, and levied for the taxes, penalties and costs. The de lay in collecting the tax is seriously af fecting the infirmary and police funds. CURRENT COMMENT. An Evil Day for the Party. Boston Globe (Dem.).’ It is an evil ilav for the Republican party when those who have gained control of its management so conduct the organization that the offspring of its most distinguished founders feel compelled to withdraw their allegiance. Blaine and Folger’s Love. Hartford Times (Dem.). Mr. Blaine advised the Republicans of New York to bolt Secretary Folger when he was runnina for Governor of that State. Many of them bolted, and Cleveland’s majority was 193,000! Now Secretary Folger desires that Mr Blaine may find next November that some of his own advice has been applied to him. He should not complain that nis own medi cine is bitter. Match Makers’ Impudence. Philadelphia Record ( Ind.). The supreme height of impudence is attain ed by the match manufacturers, who cry out for more protection than a 35 per cent, tariff affords. They affirm that they cannot pay in terest on the enormously watered capital stock of their great combination and compete with Swedish manufacturers, and so they de sire to make matches dear again. But this is a scheme that will not work. High-Handed Monopolists. Xathrille World (Dem.). In Pennsylvania the coal monopolists have determined to suspend operations during Au gust and it may be for September. This an thracite monopoly carries things with a high hand. It lives under the present tariff and sets the price of coal, aided bv the railroads in many places of the United States. They have driven off thousands of native Pennsylvanians bv importing the panper labor of Europe. The workingmen can get cheap coal by over turning the " Republican party which fosters all such grinding monopolies. Blaine's Irish Pretensions. Boeton Pilot (Dem.). We say to Mr. Blaine now that had he been a defender of the rights of naturalized citizens when those citizens were flung into foreign prisons untried and uncharged, the Pilot would import him to-day, and a million Amer icans of the Irish race would vote for him in November. But he did not do it, and his pre tensions of fair play and friendship now are sheer humbug. He and his party have a lesson to learu from all this, and so has the'Demo cratic party. The advantage of the latter is that its lesson lies in its coming opportunities. ITEMS OF INTEREST, In 18S3 the Prohibitionists in the State of New York cast 18,916 votes. How many will they cast in 1884? Artificial hazel eyes are most in demand of the opticians, making it appear that eyes of that color are more than others subject to disease. Enoch Pratt expects that the free library buildings in Baltimore will be completed by September. He tells a reporter that he has arranged for the expenditure of $1,000,000 for the purchase of books within the next thirty years. The town of Leamington, England, is said to be the exact centre of that country, and in the middle of the town is an old oak, called “The Centre Oak,” which was planted some fifty years ago, after a minute calculation as to its proper position. MR. Stanlet is organizing anew station on the Congo, to take the place of the old Vivi. The present station is on a table land nearly a mile further north, and a railway is being’made toconnect the fresh Vivi with the river. Small wooden houses for the colony are being built in Belgium. A “dip into Pandora’s box” is the latest fashion for ending the cotillon in Parisian balls. Armed with a miniature sword, tied with gay ribbons, the ladies dip into a large box, and bring up on the point of their sword some dainty present, such as a fan, a fancy mirror, or a set of tablets. One of the Channel Islands is to be sold this month—nerm, which lies between Sark and Guernsev. The little island is about one and a half miles long and three quarters of a mile broad, and has a population of thirty-seven. In early times a Franciscan community dwelt at Herm, and their chapel is still well pre served. Coi.rxßrs, Miss., has a public free bath constructed by a public-spirited citizen. The water coines from an artesian well, and the pool is 40x60 feet m size and four feet deep. The bath is a public blessing. There is a sug gei-tion in this announcement worthy the con sideration of some of the public-spirited citi zens of Savannah. A lawyer of Portland, Oregon, has sued the Mayor of that place for the recovery of a bill thus itemized: For writing a letter which Chapman published over his own signature in defense of charges of bribery, $100; for legal advice during an investigation by the Coun cil, $250; for writing the Mayor’s annual mes sage, SIOO, and for assisting the Mayor to secure a $1,500 loan, SSO. Whole cities and villages in Algeria made of adobe or sundried brick have melted away under the unceasing rain of the past w’inter. The French garrisons and Arabs hail to take to their tents, for their houses became a mass of soft mud which fell to pieces; but the Great Desert of Sahara is reported to have bloomed into meadows and blossomed like the rose un der the influence ot the prolonged and un common rains. It is said that some capitalists of Berlin have determined to establish a Japanese col ony in a village constructed in the Japanese fashion, with a garden to each house. The colouists. about torty in number, are to be chosen so as to represent all the handicrafts in which the Japanese excel, and they are to work so as to be seen by those who wish to study their processes. It is also said that the German Government favors the scheme. Isle Yerte, which is down on the standard English and American charts as being in latitude 44:19 North, longitude 26:3 West, has been found to have no existence. Capt. Downic, of the British steamship St. An drew's Bay, reports that on April 30, at noon, he was over the exact spot where Isle Verte is designated on the chart, and that he found that there was no island there, nor even the slightest discoloration of water todenote dan ger. Isle Yerte was first reported in 1706. It is never too late to mend. An interest ing litigation is at present before the Su preme Court of the Duchy of Brunswick, Germany, for a final decision. It involves the claim set up by the three Counts of Stol berg-Wernigerode* Stolberg-Stolberg and Stolberg-Rossla against the Ducal Private Domain, for the restitution of the whole of the domains and forests in the county of Blanker burg (Hartz Mountains), valued at several millions of marks. This remarkable snit was first instituted in 1604, at the then Imperial Court of Wetzlar, was carried on till 1649, left in abeyance since then until 1883, when the present Counts ot Stolberg resumed it, and are now pushing it to an ultimate settlement. A DiFFicrLTY that has for a long time puz zled the engineers of the St. Gothard Railway seems on the point of being removed. Every one who has traveled by the line has cause to remember his experience in passing through the great tunnel, the passage of which occu pies fully twenty minutes. The sulphurous fumes frem the engines render the confined atmosphere injurious to persons with delicate lungs. The company requested their engi neers to submit plans for engines that would be capable of passing through without using fire. Two experimental locomotives, just completed, are provided with steam and wa ter that is heated by a stationary boiler at each end of the tunnel. The steam thus gen erated is passed by means of a current of hot air, which is set in motion by the working of the engine, over an alkaline liquid, con fined in a special chamber, and by this means is entirely absorbed after having communi cated its power to the machinery, so that no vapor at all escapes into the atmosphere of the tunnel. Tnz inventor of anew pavement has been busy for two weeks in laving a pavement on Fifth avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets. New York, as an adver tisement. He claims that his method has proved verv satisfactory in Paris and London. The pavement consists of a bed of concrete six inches thick, made of Portland cement mixed with gravel and small stones. Thu is covered with wooden blocks that have been soaked in creosote, an operation that is said to take away the expansive tendency of the wood. The crevices in the wood are partly filled with asphalt. This fastens the blocks to the concrete bed, after which the joints are filled with cement, which forms the numerous block* into one solid mass. On top of the wood is placed a coating of pebbles, which, when crushed bv the vehicles, forms a hard surface. The cost of fii* pavement is greater than common granite on account of the expense of laving the bed of concrete. It is claimed that ibis makesa very smooth road way, and that little or no noise is heard even when heavy trucks pass over it. BRIGHT BITS. There would aeem to be a chance for call ing Gen.

The clerk sized him up, and evidently taking him for a man of simple tastes, said: “We are a little crowded just now, but I can give you an inside room on the fifth floor, which will be pleasanter and somewhat cheaper than apartments lower down, with street frontage.” “It would, eh ?” came the response in a voice like a horse shoer’s rasp; “do I look as though I wanted something cheap?” “Oh, no, in deed; you misunderstand me. I was simply—” “Look here, young man, I’m a delegate, and I want you to understand that this ain’t no Bill English year. If you’ve got a bedroom on the parlor floor, with a private parlor attached, 1 want it.

A lew days ago, says a Cumberland, Maryland, letter to the Baltimore Hun, John Smith, a fanner living twenty miles east of Cumberland, while digging post holes, discovered a jar containing a quan tity of old gold and silver coin. He is reticent about the amount, but rumor places it at from five hundred to five thousand dollars. There are many theo ries as to where the coin came from, one being that It belonged to a miserly old bachelor who was found dead in the road about ten years ago. DISAPPOINTED CLERKS. Soma Unworthy Promotions for PoUti cnl Purposes. There is a good-sized growl to be beard in some of the departments, says a Wash iegton special to the Baltimore Sun, in consequence of tbe recent promotions in the clerical forces of the same, and par ticularly in the Register’s Office of the Treasury Department aud the Pension Office. It is alleged that instead of the civil service rules being carried out in making the promotions by merit they were violated oftener than observed. As a clerk in the Treasury Department ex plained it to-day: “The'longest pole gets the persimmons now the same as ever, civil service to the contrary notwithstand ing.” Some outrageous cases are re ported, hut in each case the clerks who have been outraged are afraid to give their names for fear of being removed from office altogether. One of the cases is in the Register’s Office of the Treasury Department. There was a vacancy in the eighteen hundred dollar elites ot clerkships. For this place a colored clerk named Smith was today designated, which is about the same as if appointed, by Register Bruce. Smith was regarded in the office as a mere copyist, having no particular clerical ability, and it was a surprise to the experienced clerks who have been there for years and who expected promotion. These clerks say that Smith, while not specially won derful as a clerk, has a record as a politi cian, and as one of the “wboojiers up” for Arthur in company with his friend, Reg ister Bruce, at the late Chicago Republi can Convention, Why his political abili ties should lie considered in the matter of making clerical promotions is one of those few questions that the civil service commission has not yet satisfactorily ex plained. Another ctse which has marked charac teristics is in the pension office. It was well known there that there would be some promotions made at the opening of the fiscal year, and there was a lively competitiojf for the places. The promo tions at th*X’ension Office are supposed to be made from the record made by each clerk. Accuracy, attendance and rapidity are the great points in the competition. At least the clerks supposed those three points would weigh more than any other, but they have since found out that political backing and “pressure” does the business more effectually. In one division of that office some clerks, so as to get their record as high as possible in passing on pension cases, have for months taken work to their homes and worked at night. When the time for pro motion arrived it was found that one of Senator Mahone’s political friends got the coveted place, though it was notorious that he was by no means as good a clerk a9 any of the others in the room, his record for accuray, attendance and rapidity be ing bad. This kind of work is very dis couraging to competent and deserving clerks, though, as stated before, they are not able to come out and make public complaint for fear of the consequences to themselves. A NAIL IN A MAX’S SKULL, . The Mysterious Case that is Puzzling the Baltimore Authorities. A German named Valentine Fritz, aged 69 years, living in South Baltimore, says a Baltimore special to the New York World, is reported to be in a dying condi tion from the effects of a nail driven into his head by some means unknown to his friends. His son states that his father left home on Tuesday morning for a walk, but did not return all day. lie had been in feeble health. In the evening he was brought to the door in a helpless condi tion. Two boys, who accompanied him, stated that they found him sitting on a bridge in the suburbs crying. He asked to be taken home. On the way there he told the boys that while attempting to gather some berries along a bank he fell. Upon a close examination the head of a nail was discovered protruding from his skull. It was extracted by Dr. Blake and was found to be a small spike about two inches long. It had been driven in at the crown and bent forward towards the fore head. The wound caused partial para lysis on one side. The old man was questioned by the po lice and either could not or would not tell how the nail had been driven into his head. He soon after lost consciousness. There are several theories advanced—one that his half idiot boy drove it into the man’s skull, another that when he tell he struck his head against it, and still an other that Fritz drove the nail in himself to end his life. The curious case is being investigated by the authorities. Subsequent investigation shows that when Fitz returned home he was suffering from sunstroke, and that while lying un conscious in his bed his idiot son, aged 20 years, crept up stealthily and drove a ten penny nail in the old man’s head. So firm ly wits the nail imbedded that the flesh had to be cut away before the nippers could grasp the nail head and draw it out. The man will uie. A VERY OLD WOMAN. A French Peasant Who Is Said to he 123 Years Old. A woman named Marie Durand, born at Auberive-en-Royans, in the Department of the Ireve, France; on March 16,1761, is 123 years old. The country about her home is very mountainous and abounds in beau tiful scenery. A great many tourists visit it during the summer season. She is quite an object of curiosity to them, as may be imagined, and lew who visit the ltoyans district fail to go and see the old lady, during whose lifetime four royal houses, two empires and three republics have come and gone in France. Her skin, by constant exposure and extreme age, has become of a very dark brown hue and is drawn over the" bones like parchment, a very net-work of wrinkles. Her food con sists entirely of vegetables, with a horri ble species of fritter made of flour and oil. She is fond of a glass ol wine and oc casionally takes a dram of brandy, which is her universal panacea in case of sick ness. She is wretchedly poor and lives all alone in a little thatched cabin with scarcely any furniture. Every afternoon at 4 o’clock she barricades her door and goes to bed, where the peasants ex pect some morning to find her dead. “So Fow’ful Humbly.” Utica Observer. During the three years that 1 was in Washington as correspondent of the New York Tribune and Treasury clerk I saw Mr. Lincoln often and under various cir cumstances. I got to Washington in Junp, 1861, in one of the first trains that went through after the Baltimore blockade. Gen. Scott lived on Four-and-a-halt street, and, as he was somewhat infirm, Mr. Lin coln waived etiquette and called on him. The old soldier’s aids were absent at the moment, and there was nobody between him and the public ex cept “Epb,” a vigorous and punctilious darkey, who kept the door, and who had been told that his master did not want to see anybody. He responded to Mr. Lincoln’s ring. “Who shall I tell him wants to see him?” “The President.” “Preth’dunt o’ what?” “President of the United States.” The darkey scanned him with surprise. “Reck’n not, sah. No, sah. Not much. He can’t see you now. But I’ll tell him a man is called.” Presently the General appeared in the hall and welcomed the President. “Golly,” said the colored servitor, apologetically. “Why. Gen’l, I didn’t thupp ' not for a single instance, dat it was Linkum, really; ’cause I’ve alius heerd him ’luded to as so pow’ful humly!” The Terror of Cholera. Cincinnati Merchant Traveler. Augustus Fitzclarence, a high-toned dude, was talking to a friend of his about the cholera prospects of the season. -•> Aw. now, Fwank, weally, do you think it will come to Amewica?” “I haven’t a bit of doubt about it,” was the confident reply. “And will it be genewal—epidemic, don’t you know?” “I think so.” “And all the shop people and labowing classes have it, too?” “Certainly.” “Hawible,bawible.” “Y'eß, it will be rather hard on them, and on the rest of us too.” “That’s it, Fwank; that’sit! I don’t caiah faw them, don’t you know; but it makes me weally fa tigued to think of cholewa being so com mon, and that I may die with the vewy same hawwid disease that cahwies off my tailaw and bah-baw, don’t you know.” The Shears and the Cockroach. Detroit Free Press. A Pair of Shears which had long Oc cupied an Editorial Table one day Ob served a Cockroach going for the Paste Pot, and promptly called out: “How now, you Y'agrant?” “Who’s a Vagrant?” “You are, and I Warn you to take Yourself off!” “See here,” said the Cockroach, as he came to a sudden halt, “I don’t want to crowd anybody off the Editorial Staff, but I must Warn you that, while plenty of Editors never have any use for Shears, no Newspaper Office in this country can be run without Cockroaches!” Not Equal to Three. * Chicago Daily News. They had not been married very long, but she had grown cold and listless; so one evening after she had yawned seven teen consecutive times, he said: “You seem to be so cold and indifferent, Mai vina. Have you forgotten those happy days when I was paying you my ad dresses?” “You bet I’ve not forgotten those happy days before we were married. I never had less than three fellers of an evening around me paying me attention.” “But, dearest, haven’t you got me to pay you attention right now?” “Yes, I sup pose 1 have. You are doing the best you snow how; but you don’t flatter yourself that you are equal to three, do you ?” BERNHARDT'S BODICE. A .Jersey that Shows Her Form to Per fection. All the world and hi* wile, say* Olive Logan, in her London letter, are talking about Sarah Bernhardt’s tunny costume for “Lady Macbeth.” Well, well, did you ever? It took Sarah to think of something new, of course. Imagine a jersey—a sort of abdominal jersey, if 1 may be allowed the expression—an eel-skin garment reaching from the neck to—why, to the voluminously plait ed skirt, of course, only the skirt be gins about a foot and a halt lower than skirts nsuallv begin, and all the upper part is unmitigated, unwrinkled jersey. The result proves that Sarah —unless she has resorted to the extreme measure of padding—is not such a fleshless creature as has been supposed. The jersey is em broidered with heraldic figures, and the whole effect is marvelously odd. It anything would give her Lady Macbeth a stamp it would be that won derful skin-fitting bodice. In other ways Sarah shows her eccentricity. Where on earth do you sup pose she is living during her London en gagement? Why, at the Star and Garter, at Richmond, if you please. She has got a suite of rooms at the famed hostelry of Richmond Hill, her windows commanding that peerless prospect which has formed the theme of rapture lor so many poetic pens. Every day when the renowned tragic artist 6its upon the noble terrace oi the Star and Garter she looks upon the scene of which Thomson wrote: O vale of bliss! O soitiy swelling hills! Heavens, what a goodly prospect spreads around. Of hills and dales and woods and lawns and spires And glittering towns and gilded streams. It must be really delightful to enjoy this beautiful panorama at breakfast, dinner and tea, but faucy the price the divine satan pays for it! I do not mean the price in pounds, shillings and pence, though doubtless that is not a bagatelle, but in exertion. She drives into town— about ten miles—every afternoon, and out again after the performance at night. Physically, this seemingly frail creature must really be very strong. HAUIiING TOO MANY SPECIAL CARS. The Wealthy Dudes Overdoing the Busi ness. Said an old and very competent super intendent a day or two ago, to an Indian apolis Journal reporter, “One of the great est annoyances I have to contend with is hauling special cars over our road. There was a time when only presidents traveled about the country in special cars; now it has come to be fashionable lor general managers, superintendents, chief engin eers and even general passenger agents to take a special car whenever they make a trip.” Should this mania continue he looked for the time when the bill posters, the tack hammer brigade, would want to go about in a special car. He said: “On our regular trains there are from eight to eleven cars, and usually two of them are sleeping coaches, and it is as much as an ordinary passenger engine can do to haul fhat number of cars over the grades of Western roads and make the time which our express trains are run on.” Said he: “The other day we had eleven cars on our train and a connection brought in one of those d—d special cars with no one in it but a general passenger agent and his private secretary. We could not refuse to haul it and did haul it, but reached our Western terminus one hour and twenty minutes late; bad on thirty-six passen gers for our Western connection, all of whom were obliged to lay over twelve hours. The engine would doubtless have gone through on time but for hauling this special car, which was just that much more than the engine had the capacity to haul. Of course, the passengers cursed that route and said they never would take it again, and our manager telegraphed me to know why train No. was late yes terday, and in turn I tackled the engineer, and he answered: “Hitch on a few more special cars and I can’t make freight train time with No. 8, as smart as she is.” (Suttcura AtcmrPigg.

DEATH to WHITEWASH MAXWELL’S Prepared Gypsum, OLIVER’S, SOLE AGENT. 13 ci It inn yonjNrr. Michigan State College. 1 have several times examined baking powder* in the market to determine their purity, raising power and influence on the health of those using them. I have uni formly found DR. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER the best in all these respects. I have just made another examination oi the “Royal,’ “Andrews’ Pearl and “Dr. Price’s Cream,” and the result* are the same as formerly. DR. PRICE’S CREAM is free from AMMONIA, while the “Royal” and “Andrews’ Pearl” both contain Am monia. The final reaction of “DR. PRICE’S CREAM” is acid, while the “Royal” and “Pearl” give an ALKALINE reaction, which LEADS to DYSPEPSIA. Price’s is a pure, clean and elegant proportion of Cream of Tartar and Bicarbonate of Soda, and there does “in no wise enter into it anything that defiletb, neither whatso ever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie.” In raising power “Price’s” stands at the head. The relative amount of Carbonic Acid Gas given off by the same weight {lO grammes) of these powders, heated in the same way, is as follows: Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder 6.W cubic centimeters The Royal 600 cubic centimeters Andrews’Pearl 543 cubic centimeters 1 have used PRICE'S in my family for years. “Even if the price is higher PRICE’S is always the best.” Lansing, June 3, 1884.
