Persons leaving the city for the summer can have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at tho rate of 25c. a week, $1 for a month or $2 50 for three months, cash invariably in ad vance. Tho address may be changed as often as desired. In directing a change care ’ should be taken to mention the old as well as the new address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while away should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. It is said that there is a church choir in Massachusetts in which there lias not been a quarrel for three years. The explanation, no doubt, is that the choir has only one member. Notwithstanding all his vehement shout ings about the battle flags, Gov. Fornker, of Ohio, will not get the Vice Presidential nomination of his party. What a dema gogue he is! j Mrs. Mary A. Livermore says there are 327 occupations now open to women. One of the number is providing for a shiftless husband, and there are more women en gaged in it than in any other. A scientist who has been experimenting with sea air triumphantly proclaims that there is not a particle of salt in it. Perhaps not, but there is health in it, and that is quite enough to make sea-air desirable. What are the New York dudes, who ape English manners and ways, going to do to wards celebrating the jubilee? The celebra tion begin;; to-morrow and they ought to be ready to carry out a programme of some sort _ _ It is estimated that the receipts of the Treasury during the three summer months ■will be about $17,000,000 more than the ex penses of the government. It is time Con gress was doing something to get rid of the surplus. An alliance between England and the United States is proposed. A genius who wants all English-speaking people united suggests that Queen Victoria either give Buffalo Bill one of her daughters or marry him herself. An enterprising Washington correspond ent has discovered that there is a cat in the "White House. There is a suspicion that it ■was left by Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland when she moved out to make room for the President’s wife. Gen. Drum thinks that if he were a better lawyer he would not nave suggested the rt - turn of the battle flags. As he is too old to learn much law now, when he has another suggestion to make it might be wise for him to consult a lawyer about it. * It is hardly probable that dynamite will mar the jubilee celebration, although the dynamiters would doubtless like to get up a scare in England’s capital by throwing a few bomb, among those who will make up the jubilee procession. The niece of Mr. Alfred Sully, the rail road magnate, graduated at Metger Insti tute, Carlisle. Pu., a day or two ago, and rn the day of her graduation he presented her with a check for $•'>0,000. Mr. Sully is the land of an uncle worth having. The Orphans’ Court of Somerset county, N. J., has a tangled will case to decide. The will under consideration is thn' of John Holmes. Several women are claiming to be the widow of Holmes. It is said that Holmes at one time had seven living wives. Yesterday was a remarkably hot day, but the thought that the Tyl>eo railroad is almost completed, and that by another Sun day old ocean’s beach could be quickly ex changed for the hot streets of the city beljied the average citizen to bear the discomforts of tho weather. It seems that Gen. Sherman fully ap proves of the violent language of Gen. Fair child relative to the proposition to return the battle flags. No doubt John Sherman approves of it. Hu would bo likely to ap prove of anything that promised to assist his Presidential boom. It is said that George W. Childs, the pro prietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, never tires of doing good. When Mr. Childs bids farewell to earth there will be more obitu ary notices written of him than has boon written of any man in private life since the beginning of tho century, and they will be from the heart. • The Geu. Tuttle who lately made no much noise in opposition to the proposed visit of the President to St bonis is represented to have been a cotton grabber during the war. It doesn’t need much evidence to satisfy anyone that Tuttle was looking after bis own interests during the war rather than those of tho Uuiou. Retain the Cadets. The naval officers and the officers of the revenue marine service generally favor, it is said, the filling of vacancies in the latter service from the graduates of the naval academy. Indeed there is no very excellent reason why the revenuo marine should not baa part of the navy. The appointments in the revenue marine are now made from civil life, while many naval cadets, each year, are given #I,OOO each, and pennitttd to retire to civil life because there are uo vneancies for them in the navy. Conu Schley says that there is no reason why the revenue marine should remain outside of the navy and Com. Walker says the same thing. The cadets who return to civil life will, except- in a few instances, be unfit for the naval service in a few years, and if they should be needed they will not be ready to respond. They will become engrossed in civil pursuits and will lose their inch nation for the naval service. Having been educated at the expense of the public they ought to be so employed as to be ready at all times to serve the country in the service for which they were prejiareil. Those who do not get appointments in the navy would rather go into the revenue marine service than to enter civii life, and if that service were incorporated in tho navy it would afford them a splendid opportunity to advance in their profession. The present officers of the revenue marine favor being incori>oratod into the navy, because it would insure them better pay, and a pension when they became too old for service. There is no obstacle in the way of uniting the ser vices that cannot be easily overcome. The Mask Off. It is quit* common for Republicans to take credit for whatever good is in the civil service law. They claim to bo its origina tors, although it is very well known that a Democrat was the author of it. The Re publicans frequently charge that the Demo crats are insincere iq the support they give the law, coolly overlooking _ae fact that a Democratic President has done more for civil service reform than any of his Repub liean predecessors. It is therefore refresh ing to find that in at least one section of the country there are Republicans honest enough to throw off the mask and confess that they are opposed to the law. The Board of Public Affairs of the city of Cincinnati was created by theiLegislature of Ohio to assist in the government of the city, and was charged with the management of all dejiartments of the government ex cept those of fire, police and education. The Governor appointed five Republicans to serve on the board, publicly saying at the same time that he wanted it to represent the Republican party. It seems that among the city employes controlled by the board wore a number of Demo crats, all of them thoroughly quali fied for their duties and discharging them faithfully and honestly. This did not please the Blaine Club, a Republican or ganization which has lately shown much interest in the city’s affairs. The club held 1 a meeting and adopted resolutions requesting the board to discharge the Democratic employes. Accordingly, at its last meeting, Gen. Young asked the board to comply with the request. He offered a resolution which declared that “the so-called civil service reform has proved a delusion and a snare under all administrations since its inception, whether Republican or Democratic, either in Federal, State or municipal governments.” The resolution also declared that “it is the policy of this Board, with a view solely to perpetuate the preponderance for the public good of the Republican party in this city, and by its example in every Republican county and municipality in the State of Ohio, that all appointments here after made, or to be made, 'by it shall lie good, honest industrious Republicans.” The resolution was adopted, and the Democratic employes were discharged. There is little doubt that the action of .these Cincinnati Republicans will be ap plauded by the members of their party in all parts of tho country. If the Republi cans had control of the national govern ment they would quickly get rid of the Democratic officeholders. The Republican party has frequently nullified laws, and. if it ever has the opportunity, it will do so again whenever it suits its purposes. Democrats obey the laws and endeavor to execute them to the letter. The course of the present administration proves this. Alabama Towns. The real estate boom in the new Alabama towns has been succeeded by a building boom. Birmingham, Anniston, Decatur, Bessemer and other towns are improving with wonderful rapidity. Lass than a year ago the site of Bessemer was a forest. Now, besides numerous dwellings, there are four immense blast furnaces, a $500,000 i mill and a four-story briejj and stone news paper offlee in course of erection. At Bir mingham there are many hundreds o f houses under contract, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are being invested in industries of one kind and another. The same spirit of improvement is observable at Anniston and Decatur. While millions of dollars of Northern capital are being invested in those towns, Southern men. and Southern capital are mainly instrumental in building them up. Tho impression has, to some extent, been spread abroad that Southern men have little share in Alabama's industrial enter prises. It is a mistaken one. Southern energy and talent are entitled to the credit for most of them. No one of the growing new towns have a mushroom growth. They have a solid foundation, and are certain to realize all of the expectations entertained of thorn. It is true that in about all of them speculation has forced the prices of real estate higher than they ought to be, but prices will soon flufl their proper level, if they have not already done so. The improvements which are now l>eing made are so groat that in a comparatively short time the demand for vacant lots will boas great as it has ever been, and prices will doubtless advance again. There is every reason to think that the future of the new Alabama towns will be a great one. The Andover Seminary squabble will, in all probability, be carried into the courts, and learned judges will have a chance to decide whether Prof. Srtiythe, lately dis charged by the Board of Visitors, is a heretic or not. Tho professor is sustained by tho Board of Trustees, and a lively tight is theroforo probable.

A Missmsippian's Big Undertaking. A Mississippian, who claims that he has been studying the jxtllticnl institutions of this country ror forty years, declares that tlw cause of ail the troubles which vex tho people is too many laws. Others have made the same declanUirin, but they have failed to suggest an acceptable remedy., Tho Mississippian proposes a remedy, but it is n* -t likely that it will ever l>e fried. It is of sufficient interest, however, to lie described. He would have ail existing constitutions a: 1 law.-- abolished. For State government he suggests that a constitution lie adopted providing for the protection *uf life, liberty and property. Under this constitution he proposes that a legislature and five Governors shall be elected. The former is to be composed of. men at least 50 years old, moral and well edueatod. The fiveGovemors are also to be moral and well educated, and they areAo be at least. 00 years old. Tbe Legislature is to pass the simplest laws possible for the three purposes named in the constitution, and is then to elect a Judge, a Sheriff and assist ants, a Tax Collector, and a Superintendent of .Schools for each county. These officers are to execute the laws, and are not to en gage in any other business. They are to hold office five real's and lie ineli gible for re-election. Tbe five Governors are tq have advisory powers only, but are to require a monthly report of the acts of all county officers. These reports are to be consolidated and presented to tbe Legisla ture. Like the county officers, the five Governors are to hold office five years and then be ineligible for re-election. Members of the Legislature are to hold office ten years, but they are not eligible for re-elec tion. The Legislature is to meet every fifth year and sit sixty days. It alone is to have the power to punish officers who fail to discharge their duties faithfully and honestly. When any Governor or member of the Legislature dies the people of the State, without further no tice, must hold an election within ten days to fill the vacancy. When any county officer dies, the people of the comity must hold an election to fill the vacancy five days after. Elections for the entire State are to lie conducted by the county judges. Those for counties are to be conducted by the superintendents of schools. These officers are also to declare the results. Every iaw passed by tile Legislature must be submitted to the people to be ratified or rejected. For national government the Mississip pian would have the people elect a Presi dent, a Vice President and a Congress. The President and Vice President must lie at least 60 years old, and no man under 50 is to serve as a Congressman. The terms of these public servants are to be ten years, and none of them can be re-elected. They are to be paid by the the States out of a fund collected for the support of State and national governments. The President, Vice President and Congress are to have no power except over the foreign relations of the country. Vacancies caused Ijy death are to be filled thirty days after they occur, the States holding an election for the purpose as in the case of the death of a Governor or a member of the Legislature. No explanation is needed to show that the Mississippian’s remedy would hardly lie an effective one. It Is not huzarding too much to say that any of the plans of government suggested by those who are going about de claring that the system established by the fathers needs reforming have little or no merit. There are too many laws it is true, but what is mainly needed is the enforce ment of those already in existence. The New York press is pretty certain that the jury system in that State wants a good deal of reforming, and it is about right. The effort to get a jury in the Jacob Sharp case showed it to be very defective. Several of the judges have spoken so plainly and forcibly in and out of court in relation to the subject, and the popular attention has been so thoroughly excited in the matter that a movement for the correction of the existing imperfection is in the natural course of events inevitable. It does not take long to select a jury to try an offender whose pockets are empty and whose case is not sensational. But when distinguished lawyers are employed for the defence and the prosecution is put upon its mettle, it is unavoidable that objection should be made to most of the talesmen in the procession of imbeciles, deaf men and all sorts of people otherwise disqualified that pass under the ordeal of examination. A British officer who recently visited Rus sia says that shortly after the assassination of his father, the Czar, Alexander 111., had recourse to stimulants in order to nerve him self sufficiently to meet the real and imaginary dangers which beset him. In this way ho formed the habit of drinking, which has taken such firm hold upon him that he has booomo a ho]xjloss ami oTttimes helpless sot. It is said that ho has several times suffered from delirium tremens, and that while the fit was on him his cruelty to those so unfortunate as to come near him was appaling. A good many stories dis creditable to tho Czar get afloat that have no foundation whatever, and this may be oue of them. Mme. Bernhardt and company left Now York for England on Saturday. Her man ager states tluit her tour in this country was a tremendous financial success. From the commencement of the season irt South America about two hundred and fifty-two performances were given, from which wus realized a grand total of $1,000,000, half of which was a clear profit to tho managers and the star. Tho celebrated French actor Coquelin will visit this country and South America next season, but it is hardly prob able that he will carry home with him as many dollars as Bernhardt did. Dakota is getting ready to demand ad mission into tho Union next winter. The Philadelphia Itecord, suggests that if Con gress divide? tho territory of Dakota into two States, it lx> by a north and south lino, rather than by one east and west. The reason of this is that if the lino were run oast and west, the Northern Pacific railroad would own one State, ami tho Union Pacific railroad the other. Those two jxvwerful rorporations are pretty certain to run the two States, whether the territory is divided by a north and south or an east and west line. The Rev. John R. Paxton is said to lead nil the other clergymen of New York in eloquence, originality and independence of thought. He gets a salary of $30,000 n year, and his congregation represents $000,000,- 000 of wealth. He probably deals tenderly with the rich. One by one the cities of tho North and West are enforcing the Sunday law. St. Ixmis is the last to enforce It, and tho brer drinkers of that city had to purchuse yes i terday’s supply of boor on Saturday night. CURRENT COMMENT. Fatal to Him. FVom the Boston Herald (Ind.) Mr. John Sherman is just now the subject of general explanation and apd >gy and other de fensive attitudes on the of the Republican press. Of such, successful candidates for tho Presidency are not made. They Have Shaken Hands. J'ro’a the yew York Herald (Ind.) Here is exactly a ease in point. A regiment of Southern soldiers was yesterday the guest of a Massachusetts regiment. Side by si le they assisted in the Bunker Hill celebratiou. That is a sign of the times.

I can Keep silent no longer. My great heart is broken, and I demand to be nominated for Vice President of the United States,” or words to that effect. BRIGHT BITS.

How a Happy Bridal Couple Amused the President and the Visito* s. A dispatch trom Washington to the New York Herald says: “It was a hot, perspiring crowd that found its way into the East Room to-day to attend tin; President's tri-weekly reception. He was dressed with scrupulous care. He wore anew, well fitting suit of blade broadcloth, the sombreues* of which was relieved by an ample expanse of snowy shirt front. A jaunty white scarf encircling his high ‘choker,’ as a substitute for his conventional black tie, completed his costume. He smiled with unusual graoiousness ujion the pretty girls and young children, and was quite as cordial and deferential as ever in his deportment toward the eldery callers. “One of the newly married couples present seemed to afford ibe President considerable amusement. The husband occupied one of the easy chairs. His bride sat in his lap. There they billed and cooed during the entire recep tion. They were apparently' oblivious of their surroundings, but none of those present were oblivious of them. Every few minutes the President glanced in their direction, and each time their amusing antics caused a broad smile to illuminate his countenance. , "Finally, when all his visitors had paid their respects and the room was deserted, with the exception of a few newspaper men, the Presi dent’cro.ssed over to their corner and disturbed their dream of love by suddenly asking if he could not have the pleasure of shaking hands with them. The young husband was so con fused he nearly threw his bride to the Boor iu his effort to gain his feet. The President, with out apparently noticing their embarrassment, chatted pleasantly with them a few moments. When they took their departure the President gave them a cordial grasp of the hand and in vited them to call and see him again when next they visited Washington, an invitation they were not slow to accept.” A Thieving Marshal. From the Youth's Companion. When Augereau was made a marshal-duke, the Parisian workingmen received the appoint ment as a compliment to their class: for the marshal was born in Paris, his father was a ma son, his mother was a street fruit vender, and he himself had worked as a mason, served as a waiter, and won promotion's a soldier. He had one merit as a soldier; he was as brave as the bravest, though a poor general. He was also good to his mother, who lived to see her boy a duke and a marshal. Once at at a state pageant, where he was arrayed in the plumed hat and purple mantle of a Senator, he gave her his arm in public, amid the applause of the market women. He was, however, an inveterate looter, as were Soult and Masseua, and plundered palaces and churches. But he was so ignorant of the value of tho things he stole that he sold pictures, jewelry and silver plate for any sum that was offered him in ready money. He was caught once and yet dared not open his mouth. On his return from the Spanish campaign he brought to Paris a robe, encrusted with dia monds and rubies, which he had stripped from a statue of the Virgin Mary ina Biscayan church. One night he went to the house of a Jew re ceiver with the robe rolled up under his cloak. The Jew was out, but his wife was in, and she at once took Augereau in. She pronounced the jewels paste imitations, but offered him 10 louis for the lace. “Ah. those brigands of priests!” exclaimed the disgusted marshal, pocketing the money. A few months afterward Augereau, ascertain ing that the jewels were genuine, went in a fury to make the Jewess disgorge. She received him calmly, and, looking him straight in the eye, said: “We will have the jewels appraised in court, if > r ou like.” The swaggering marshal slunk out in the state of mind of a fox who has been caught mealing a chicken. We All Have to Work Up. From the Texas Siftings. The Pacific Railroad Commission have been examining Jay Gould. Their object was to ob tain information that might shed light on the shady transactions connected with that road. The result was not satisfactory to the Commis sioners. They might as well shear a hydraulic ram for wool as to question Jay Gould for Infor mation he don’t care to give. Speaking of Jay Gould reminds us of a little incident that occurred in Galveston on the occa sion of Mr. Gould's visit to that city some seven years ago. Accompanied by a number of lead ing citizens he was inspecting the Cotton Ex change, when a small boy was seized by one of the gentlemen just as the gamin was picking the great railroad magnate s pocket. “What did the iittle fellow do?" asked Gould. “He stole your pocket handkerchief, Mr. Gould, and I am going to turn him over to a policeman.” "Don’t do that,” replied Mr. Gould, smiling good naturedly, “let him go. We should not discourage young beginners. I had to start out in a modest way myself when I went into the railroad business,” and reaching down in his pocket Mr. Gould brought up a quarter and gave it to the boy, to encourage him to aim higher. He Wasn’t Qualified. From the Dakota Bell. “Did you hire that young man who applied for your school?” was asked of a Dakota school district officer. “Well, I should rather say we didn't!” “Why not?” “His edication didn’t come up to the scratch.” “What in?” “Gram’er.” “How did you find it out?" “VV’y he got in my wagon to ride from the field to the house, an’ says I, ‘Did ye ever drive much?’ ‘Of late years,’ says he, ‘I have driven very little.’ 'Drove very little, ye mean,’ says I. ‘I beg yer pardon,’ says he, ‘but I mean driven.’ ‘Drove is right,’ says I. ‘No, sir,’ says he, ‘driven is the most grammatiealest.’ ‘Oh, well, mebby ye know,’ says I, sorter sarcastic. ‘I reckon I do,’ says he, ‘l’m jes’ cornin’ out here' to learn you folks something.’ ‘Do ye see that road?’ says I. ‘I does,’ says he. ‘Well,’ says I, ‘it goes to town an’ you want’o git right out an’ humpen verself down it mighty fasten ’cause I’m goin’ to togiu to kicken ye in about a minute by the clock!' He saw I knowed more ’bout gram’er than he did, an' he got out o' that wagon and scooted down the road. You bet we're going to have a teacher that understands gram’r or none at all.” Who? What? Which? Where? From Life. When the young debutante gets sight of a beau, She scarcely can peep thro’ the leaves of her fan, Her heart doth so flutter, her cheeks do so glow, As she asks all a-trembling; "Who is the man!'” Twenty doth bring her to years of discretion, No longer she blushes, but changes her plan; With thoughts of the pocket, the place, the pro fession, She questions the circle with: “What is the man*” At thirty each day the thought doth appal her, That hour by hottr her roses grow wan: Her circle of lovers grows smaller and smaller She duns each deceiver with: “Which is the many” Forty changes her tune, and she grows romantic, Deems it charming to simper as much as she can; Haunts steams the Atlantic, For the query of life uow is: “Where is the many” A Woman’s Quiet Heroism. From the Troy Timet. Many a heroic deed passes by unnoticed, and many quiet Ayes have elements i>f courage and fidelity humanity. Such a life ended in this f fnat long ago. A young women whose hiMand had died leaving quite a number of unpa*ebts behind him, determined that she wdevote her life to the payment of the obligor is. She was left without any means savj# ®lt the labor of her hands could' give her r®. about the task before her. lie fn*hg to accept the canceling of some of the debts, which was offered her by her creditors, she toiled early and late. But her health was not strong enough to hear the burden, and she gradually sank into hope less dlseuse. Almost to the very day of her death, however, she cheerfully continue 1 her efforts to maintain the honor of her husband by removing all claims which had stood against him. The brave fidelity of such a life shines by contrast with by far too many deeds of a selfish world. Sir Dunderhead Murgatroyd. From the Traveler's Magazine. "It is an Interesting and astonishing tact," said Mr. Murgatro.vd, at the breakfast table, “that most of the great women of history have been childless ” “Queen Elizabeth,” observed Billings. “Charlotte Cushman." suggested Huai nos. “Susan B. Anthony," insinuated another boarder. “Of course I am not speaking of women wbo never married, hook at that lady whom wb nil revere, Mary, the mother of Watblngton. She went childless to her grave." "Are you quite sure*" Inquired little Miss Bird. "I may be mistaken, but it seems to mo that it was the wife of Washington who was childless.” “His wife? How could that be? Well, I don't know; perhaps .retire right; but Iliad always supposed It wo* his mother." ITEMS OF INTEREST. M. B. Gossett, of Austin, Tex., has a pointer dog that chews and swallows nails, tacks, metal buttons, and even manifests a decided partiality for such delicacies as broken bits of glass. The suicide of an army officer who had gone about San Francisco under a half dozen differ ent names, and whose identity they are unable to discover, has been puzzling the police of that city. Tuesday. June 14. was formally celebrated in Hartford, Conn., as the. 110th anniversary of the Stars and Stripes as the national emblem. A liberal display of the national bunting was tho chief feature. An experienced sportsman says that the hard est things to shoot are bats. They are quick, make sharp turns in all directions and are diffi cult to kill. Shot holes through their wings will not bring them down, and a story is told of one tot which flew away with thirty holes in its wings. Nearly two centuries and a half ago a Herr Rahmsauer arrived in North Carolina. Some of his still living near Fort Worth in Texas. "I found,” writes a gentleman who recently had occasion to look them up, “that the family name had undergone the following changes: Ramsauer, Ramsaur, Rarnser, Ramsir, Sirram, Ram, Sheep, Lamb.” PnoF. Carl Meyer, who made a balloon ascension at Erie the other day, attained an altitude of more than 13,000 feet without suffer ing any inconvenience whatever. At that height he says: “My pulse stood at 72 and my respi ration was 20 a minute, or about twice faster than ordinary, but I felt first, rate and the air seemed bracing and exhilarating. The ther mometer registered 02°. James Nolan, an eccentric bachelor of Kear ney, N. J., was taken seriously ill early last week, and the physician that was called to at tend him vainly tried to get him to relieve him self of a heavy pair of trousers he had on. The probable reason of his refusal was developed when he died on Wednesday, and notes, money and evidences of indebtedness amounting to nearly §3,000 were found in his pockets. Germans are hailing as a toon to mankind the invention by Messrs. Lorenz, of Carlsruhe, of a steel-clad bullet with a slight alloy of antimony, which, in addition to increased powers of pene tration. gives a much flatter trajectory and is warranted to pass through a mans body with out causing unnecessary discomfort. This is killing two birds with one stone. It will kill two. or even three, men at one shot if they hap pen to stand in the way. In one year in Vienna over 62,000 notices of eviction were served for non-payment of State and municipal taxes. The population of the city proper being at the time roughly 753,000, it follows that about one in every twelve Viennese had the legal sword suspended over him. In no fewer than 14,795 cases the evictions were ac tually carried out. Equally suggestive is the fact that in 1885 alone outdoor relief had to to given there to 107,856 persons,while 35,708 arrests were made for vagrancy. Ben: Pbrley Poore wrote his life of Grant in two months (2,500 words a day). Victor Hugo wrote a novel in three weeks on a wager Dr. Johnson wrote “Rasselas” in the nights of one week in order to pay for his mother's funeral expenses. Longfellow wrote his poem "The Wreck of the Hesperus' to! ween supper and bed time. "Sheridan's Ride” was dashed off by Buchanan Reed one morning in less time than it took Sheridan to do it. Sir Walter Scott wrote his §42,000 novel, “Woodstock,” in three months^ The Hilty toy, who a few months ago lost both arms in a railroad accident, says the Cum? berlaud (Md.) News, is a remarkable lad in many respects. It will be remembered with what nonchalance he tore his sufferings, and that in an amazingly short time after the opera tion he was out on the streets, as bright and chipper as you please. His misfortune has not prevented him from enjoying himself in many respects as other boys do. For instance, lie plays marbles, and plays far better than many boys who have two arms, eight lingers and two thumbs. Iu short, he is a champion of the ring. He does much of his playing on the West Side, and it is said he has “broken” a number of the best players over there. Of ourse, the reader will have by this time guessed that he plays with his toes. That's what he does, and his "shots” show wonderful accuracy and force. Perhaps, as he grows up. he aean train these substitutes for fingers to do useful and even ar tistic work. There are well-authenticated cases of this having been done. The Baltimore American says that while rail road laborers were excavating reck about four miles east of Anderson, W. Va., the explosion of a charge of powder revealed an opening into a cavern of yet unknown extent. During the afternoon it was explored for upwards of a mile, and wonders rivaling in extent and grandeur those of Hie celebrated Luray Cavern were found. Half a mile under ground a stream of clear running water was discovered, which, for purity and sweetness, is unequalled by any of the mountain springs. Stalactites of every con ceivable shape and size were found scattered through the various chambers, and the ex plorers loosened some beautiful specimens and carried them to a room near the entrance. The galleries and apartments all have smooth stone floors, and the former range from seven to fifteen feet wide by as many high, while many chambers are thirty to fifty feet in width by seventy-five or a hundred long, and are forty or fifty feet to the vaulted roof. No evidence of a former visitation by human beings, or even ani mals, have so far been detected. The officers of the American Board of Foreign Missions at Boston have received tidings of a famine prevailing on the Cilicia plain, in Asia Minor, a region about one-half as large as the State of Massachusetts, bordering on the Medi terranean Sea and embracing the ancient cities of Tarsus and Adana. The harvest time has just passed, but not a single sheaf of grain will be cut in all the plain ordinarily so fertile. Rev. G. F. Montgomery wrote on May 5 from Adana of a severe winter with much suffering, during which the people had lived on in the hope of better times at hand, but the spring is worse than the winter. Already most of the farming villages in the vicinity are deserted. Numbers of people are trying to sell coppe vessels, beds, furniture, cows and oxen on the street at one fourth of their worth. Cows are being sold at thirty piasters each, about $1 25. A committee appointed at Adana has presented an appeal to benevolent people in America. This section of the country contains over 100,000 inhabitants, of whom 80,000 are destitute. An earnest ap peal for aid is made by the American Board. “The Prince of Montenegro and his family left Vienna very suddenly for France,” says the Vienna correspondent of the London Times , “the Prince having, it is said, been advised by his doctors that the waters of Baden would do him no good. This is the official explanation of the matter. A more probable cause of the Prince’s hasty departure is being whispered— namely, this, that his highness received a polite hut plainly warning that the policy he has been following toward Austria is one which, if not abandoned, must inevitably'bring him to trou ble. The Prince on all his visits to Vienna has been accustomed to raise little loans for public works in his mountainous principality. Through high influences, exercised with more kindness than confidence, the money which he sought has always been forthcoming; but the public works have been left unexecuted. Instead of putting loads, the poet Prince has bought rifles, revolv ers and cannon, and has scarcely denied that in case of disturbances in the Balkans he would watch his opportunity for overthrowing King Milan, rousing Herzegovina, and trying to re store the old Servian empire of Stephen Douchan the (treat, with himself as king.” At an insane hospital in Amityville, Long Island, Coorge Hurd, 40 years old, died on Mon day of paresis, leaving three other brothers in the same retreat. They are Charles, Walt* r and Schuyler Hurd. The latter, who is the youngest, is 26, and is suffering from melan cholia. The other two are afflicted with chronic Insanity.

Carpenter, Superintendent of the Home, states, and no trace of in sanity can be found. George ami Charles were enllego graduates, and their Insanity was at first, attributed to oyerstudy. Judge Hurd gave his third son, Walter, an academic education only, but it did not prevent him from liecomlng a victim to the malady. The fourth son, Charles, was given a simple common school education. He married which none of the others did, and two years after that event be lost his sense*.
