The Morning News for the Summer. Persons leaving the cdty for the summer can have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at the rate of 25c. a week, $1 for a month or $2 50 for three months, cash invariably in ad vance. The 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 givon to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by ihe most direct and quickest routes. If Jupiter Pluvius doesn't call a halt sooll prayers for dry weather will be in order. It is stated that at the summer resorts there is a demand for nails. They are not to be used in repairing hotels, but are to be thrown into the alleged mineral springs. Ilf Senator Colquitt becomes Secretary of the Interior, the present General Assembly of Georgia will have plenty of statesmen to keep it company during the approaching session. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, made a speech the other day, and was rewarded by being presented with a flue new fiddle. He is now fully equipped for another successful political campaign. It is said t hat Mr. Bayard is not a candi date for President in 1888, and that Dela ware is, therefore, very much surprised. As Delaware is a very small State the surprise is necessarily not great. The “superfluous jiopulation” in the coun try is said to be enlisting in the United States army. It is doubtless meant that the tramps are seeking to have tho government feed and clothe them. Since Craig Tolliver is dead it is probable that there will be no more trouble in Rowan county, Kv. The desperadoes who belonged, to Tolliver’s gang are leaving for Wisconsin and other States in the Northwest. New York State Fish Commissioner Blackford insists that sharks and devil-fish are good articles of food. Ho needn’t make a fuss about it. Nobody will object even if he should eat sharks and devil-fish three times a day. When a Middletown, Fa., lumberman tnarried his fourth wife, he displayed the following over tho doorway of his house: “If I survive, I’ll marry five.” He did not survive, and now his widow is looking around for No. 2. The statament is made that the election of Senator Htockbridge, of Michigan, cost bin $70,000. No wonder the Senate is com posed almost entirely of millionaires. A poor man could not afford the exjiensive luxury of a place in that body. Sam Jones, tho Evangelist, says: “If a man lives on Bible principles in this country he’ll lie in the poor house in no time.” Con sidering that Stun is not only not in the poor house but that he is not likely to be, it is fair to presume that he cloes not live on Biblfe principles. _ There are no fewer than five monument funds now under way in New York and Brooklyn—Grant’s,Peter Cooi>er's,Beecher’s, Brooklyn soldiers’ anti Nathan Hale's. Pres ent indications suggest that they will con tinue under way until the angel Gabriel sounds his trump. The preliminary performance of “Civil War,” Mrs. Brown Potter’s new play, was given at the Brighton Theatre, London, on Saturday last. The house was crowded, and Mrs. Potter was favorably received. She has gone to work in earnest, and if there is anything in pluck, she will succeed. It is announced tiiat Prince Albert Victor, eldest son of the Prince of Wales, is planning a visit to America. If he comes, Ameri cans will have an opportunity of testifying their appreciation of the favors shown by loyalty to “the Hon. the Col. Buffalo Bill, member of the American Parliament.” In Bt. Louis on Sunday lust the “blue laws” were enforced. That is, tho front doors of saloons, beer gardens, theatres, stores, and other places of business and amusement were kopt closed. The back doors, however, stood open all day, aud the police made the usual number of arrests. It is stated that the ablest newspaper in terviewers fail to induce Gon. Joseph E. Johnston to talk. The General is one ot tho Pacific Railroad Commissioners, and doubt less understands that his position demands ■rtion, not words. It may be added that a similar understanding stood him in good ■teai 1 during the war. The daughter of Presidenrßockofeller, of the Standard Oil Company, is a Vassar Col lege student. Her eyes being weak, she car > kt. on her studies by the help of an attend ant, who reads to her. One of the numerous young men in search of rich wives, would dimbtlew like to serve her as attendant for ‘'ttaalnder of her life. Little Panic. Tho New YorE market does not ap pear to have fully recoverevW the little panic by which it was disturbed last week. Buyers were not plentiful yesterday, and there was a disposition to let the stocks which dropped so suddenly last Friday alone. There is considerable speculation as to the cause of the panic, but no satisfactory ex planation has been given. It seems to be admitted that the sudden and extraordinary drop in tho stocks in which Jay Gould is in terested has a mystery of some sort con nected with it, but just what it is puzzles Wall street. Of course there aro plenty of rumors which attribute it to Jay Gould. One report is that Mr. Gould wanted to prevent the consummation of the contract which, it is understood, Messrs. Ives anti Staynor have with Robert Garrett for the purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio prop erty, and which, it seems, was to have been completed on Saturday. It is alleged that he hoped to accomplish that by calling in all bis loans and thus making it difficult to raise a large sum of money. It is certain that money became suddenly very scarce, and that it could lie had only by paying a very high rate of interest. Another report is that Mr. Gould was aiming to cripple Mr. Garrett, and o]s*n a way by which he could get control of tho Baltimore and Ohio Tele graph line. Still another rumor is that Gould, Sage aud Field, who held 150,(XX) shares of Manhattan stock ns partners, and who had been supporting the stock, dissolved their partnership last week, and it was feared that a greater part of the block would be thrown upon the market. Rumors are not accepted as facts, and it may be that none of these respecting the cause of Friday’s panic is well founded. The truth doubtless will soon be known, how ever, and it may appear that neither Gould, Sago nor Field is responsible for tho “break” In the market. The fact, however, that a panic occurred without any apparent reason, and, that too, when everybody was predicting an increase in prices and a period of unexampled prosperity, justifies the conclusion that the talk which emanates from Wall street does not always show the real state of feeling there. Often when it is said there that the strongest confidence in the advance of stocks exists, there is little or no confidence whntever. There certainly was not a great show of confidence on Friday. The attempt to back up the talk about higher prices was exceedingly weak. The Sharp Trial. Jacob Sharp’s trial is on the home stretch, as it were, and Jacob Sharp himself appears to be making pretty good speed along the home stretch for the grave. The prosecu tion rested and the defense began yesterday. How strong the defense will be no one, of course, outside of the defendant’s lawyers, knows. Tho case which the prosecution made out is a pretty strong ono. Not one man in a hundred, probably, who has fol lowed the ease closely, would hesitate to pro nounce the defendant guilty, although the evidence was almost wholly circumstantial. The testimony for the defense may clear up some of the points which bear strongly against the accused, but it is doubtful if it will. It is probable that Jacob Sharp hasn’t much longer to live whether he is acquitted or convicted. He is 70 years of age, and is suffering from a complication of diseases. His physical condition now is such that he takes conqiaratively little interest in the trial. The worry which he is undergoing doubtless aggravates his diseases, and it would not lie surprising if he should break down entirely before the end of the trial Is reached. There is, no doubt, considerable sympa thy for him among his friends and acquain tances, but there is no reason why tho pub lic should regard him in any other light than that of ail enemy. He may escape a prison, but he cannot escape the popular verdict of guilty. Enough has been proven against him to show that he has corrupted legislators and aldermen. Such men as ho is nre the ones who create a doubt in the minds of thinking men as to the stability of a government like obi's. Tho permanency of free institutions depends upon the vir tues of tho people. The Jacob Sharps des troy these virtues with their gold. Baltimore’s Example. A Baltimore court yesterday sentenced a lot of ballot-box manipulators to two years imprisonment. They acted as judges and clerks of election at the city election last April, and were subsequently convicted of fraudulent practices in connec tion with that election. Their conviction and sentence surprised their friends and startled the small politicians of the city. Doubtless there are others who ought to be in jail with them. Baltimore has long had the reputation of being ruled by corrupt )K>litirians, and there ought to lie general rejoicing there that justice has at last over taken some of them. It is probable that in all the large cities of the country there aro frauds of a more or less extensivo character committed at every eleetioiL There are reasons for thinking that in Chicago and Cincinnati an honest election has not been held for years. The reports of fraudulent election practices there would make a good sizisl volume. The diffi culty of holding a perfectly fair election in either New York or Philadelphia is so great that it is safe to assert that such an election never occurs in either city. In view of this condition of affairs it Is strange that such men as Senators Hoar and Sherman, who seize upon every little local squabble in the Southern States to sustain their assertions that a free ballot and a fair count cannot be had in the South, do not turn their attention to the fraudulent election practices in Northern cities. Why is it that they do not, from their places in the Senate, condemn their Republican friends in Phila delphia and Cincinnati for preventing a free ballot and a fair count! The reason would seem to be that their party is bonefltted by the frauds. No punishment is too severe for those who tamper with the ballot box. When the jieople get an idea that a fair election can not be had, they lose interest in eloctions, and when they reaclt that condition of mind there is groat danger that inferior and corrupt men will be chosen to make and execute tho laws. Let the example set by Baltimore be followed in other localities where attempts are made to defeat tho will of the people by fraud. It is hinted that Mr. Bayard would like to boa Justico of the Supreme Court. With two members of his Cabinet willing to fill tho vacancy on the Supreme bench will the President go outside of his official family for a successor to the late Justice Woods ? Down in Toxas the Anti-Prohibitionists charge train robberies to tho Prohibitionists. The fool killer ought to find plenty of work to do in tho Lone Star State. Wim MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JUNE 28, 1887. Prosperity Without Booms. Six months ago the word '‘boom” was on tho lips of nearly every man in the South. Now it is seldom heard. The cause is this: Most of the wild cat schemes have been killed by the judicious exposures upon tho part of the newspapers. The “boomers” have been made to understand that the South's progress in the direction of pros perity must not be checked by speculation based upon nothing more substantial than a paper town. A prominent New York manufacturer who recently visited Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, says that the new fields of busi ness venture in the three States in the way of coal, iron and marble quarries are all right so long as they are managed as legiti mate business investments. By this he means that if the people of the three States who control the properties mentioned devote themselves to creating a product which will sell at a profit they cannot fail to realize great fortuues. It is only in tho speculative direction that they may be tripped up. The manufacturer has a correct under standing of the situation. If the enter prises in the South aro to be of permanent value to this section, they must be managed as Investments. As has been said already, the “boomers” have been made to under stand this, and in consequence all kinds of business in the South are on a sounder basis than they were on six mouths ago. As to Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee it is gratifying to note what progress is being made. New railroads are being constructed in all directions. Twenty new iron furnaces are being built, and eight others have been projected. Considerable progress has been made in agriculture. The cotton stalk for the present year is said to be finer than for many years past. A great deal of wheat lias been planted, and more attention is being given to the rotation of crops. With favorable weather an abundant harvest will be reaped next fall, and a long step in the direction of prosperity will be taken. All that the people need to do is to work with a will and let wild speculation alone. Mr. Blaine has emphatically set at rest the rumors that he intended to make home rule speeches while in England. He is quoted by a correspondent as saying: “Once for all, I shall not say a word about either home or foreign politics while here. No consideration could tempt me to make a speech or publicly express any opinion on the Irish question.” It is announced, also, that Mr. Blaine will not go to Ireland on account of the importance that might at tach to the visit and the disagreeable gossip that would ensue. He doubtless behoves, in the matter of the Irish question, that discre tion is several lengths ahead of valor. Some time ago, a New York gambler said that every time he saw a red-headed girl, he was certain to see a white horse in the vicinity. The papers in the North and West have been testing the matter, and claim that the result proves that the pres ence of a red-headed girl is a sure indication that a white horse is close at hand. So much excitement on the subject has arisen in Chicago, that a gentleman writes to the Mail that the poor girls who had nothing to do with choosing the color for their hair will be compelled to disguise themselves with wigs, or remain indoors, if the excite ment does not soon subside. Prof. T. L. Baldwin, tho aeronaut who created such a sensation in San Francisco by jumping out of a captive balloon 1,000 feet High, is a citizen of Quincy, 111. He has just completed at that place a monster balloon. He will make an ascension on July 4, under the auspices of a committee having in charge a grand celebration. He will let the balloon go up 2,000 feet, and then, with a parachute attachment, he will jump to the earth. Af terward he will make a voyage in the bal loon, and expects to eclipse the trip made by the New York World's air-ship. He might risk his life to better purpose in some other undertaking. Some of the Knights of Labor in Wash ington have again refused to accept General Master Workman Powderly’s suggestion to celebrate the Fourth of July in a fitting manner. They object to the celebration unless they are permitted to carry An archist flags in a procession. Their action ought to result in their prompt expulsion from the order. It is shameful that men who live in peace and security under the United States government should display sympathy with a cause as disreputable as that of the Anarchists. An ex-Alderman and prominent citizen of Racine, Wis., has invited 150 of his friends to attend a “celebration” of the death of his wife. She died early in last spring. It is stated that tho ox-Alderman has purchased SSO worth of fireworks to be used in the “celebration.” The county judge has determined to appoint a commit tee to exumine into the man's sanity. Mon have been known to rejoice at the death of their wives, but never to celebrate the event with fireworks. Philadelphia’s “old fashioned” Fourth of July celebration is to include two balloon ascensions, a regatta, a military parade, fireworks, and music by a dozen brass bands. It will cast SIO,OOO. Already the statis ticians ore pointing out how many mission aries might lie sent to the heathen for that sum, and the croakers nre crying dismally over the “useless waste” of money. There are people in this world whose patriotism never amounts to much when money is to be spent. The Franklin county delegation to tho Ohio State Democratic Convention intends to apjKiint a committee to wait upon Judge Thurman anil endeavor to obtain a decided answer from him as to whether or not he will accept the nomination for Governor if tendered to him unanimously by the con vention. Tho Democrats of Ohio are confi dent that if he will accept the nomination they can easily elect him. Ben Butler claims to have returned all tho property he took from tho South. A cor respondent of tho Bangor (Me.) Commercial writes, however, that “ho must have for gotten a church bell that was sold to the Baptist Church of Wayne, in this State.” It is difficult to determine which deserves the severest condemnation—Butler, for stealing tho boll, or tho church for buying it. Preparations for tho reunion at Gettys burg of the Philadelphia Brigade and Pick ett’s Division continue "to be made on a grand scale. Tho Brignde is raising a large fund, which will be used mainly to entertain tho Division. Much good feeling is evinced, and there is no doubt that the reunion will result in good. Gen. Spinola, who is a martyr to rheu matism, is trying his forty-third remedy for the disease. The fact that the use of o many remedies has not killed him suggests that the General is tough enough to be a base ball umpire. CURRENT COMMENT. Perhaps He Did. Prom the New York World (Dem.) Dr. McGlynn says that he did net, as reported, freely admit that he was the Luther of the nineteenth century. Can it l>e that what he did intend to freely admit was that Luther was the Dr. JtcGlynn, of the sixteenth century. The Greatest Curse. From the Missouri Republican (Den t.) The “Patriotic Order of the Sons of America" has held a national convention and adopted a fair-sounding platform; but if it were really patriotic it would not be in existence. The con trol of politics by “orders” and secret organiza tions would be the. greatest curse that could come upon the country. Senator Sherman’s Eyes Opened. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem). Senator Sherman sees that when it comes to swinging the bloody-shirt there are several lusty and long-winded demagogues who can give him many days the start and beat him. He therefore finds it convenient to change his tack, and he now speaks with touching gener osity of “our late gallant enemies” aud or "the duty of lessening the animosities of the war.” Nothing but the friendly reunions of veterans who were once foes could have extorted this language from a champion of the bloody-shirt. They Can Afford It. From the Boston Herald (Ind.) We have not been asked to aid the movement of the Protective Tariff League to raise a fund for the propagation of protective tariff doctrine, but it ought not to be a difficult mat ter. The benefits of the protective tariff are en joyed by a comparatively small number of peo ple, and are easily estimated. Under its oi>era tions thousands are taxed to enrich one. If it cost the thousands $1 each, the favored one gets SI,OOO. If free traders want to raise a fund, they do not find money in pickets so capacious and well filled. It would not be difficult to find 100 men in New F.nland to whom the tariff means millions in the aggregate every year. They can afford to come down handsomely. BRIGHT BITS.

Last night two more passengers embarked in the ship of marriage and, under circumstances and surroundings of the most auspicious and favorable nature, commenced their long voyage on the sea of matrimony. In the days of child hood a courtship was begun which last night terminated in the wedding. United were these young hearts with the silken, yet adamantine bond they had so earnestly sought for. And as if to shea lustre upon the scene and gild the oc casion with the radiance of the nineteenth cen tury, the electric lights, one of which is near the residence of the bride, burst forth in all their glittering beauty and shed all around the splendor of the fabled fairyland.— Port Jervis Gazette. The more uneducated negroes show a strange inability to understand what the simplest pic tures even are intended to represent, aud their interpretations of more complex pictures are strangely ludicrous. In the family of Mr. S. was a negro servant named Aunt Lucy. One day Miss Florence showed her a small picture of Niagara Falls, and asked her what she thought it was. After holding the picture in every possible ppsition Aunt Lucy Anally said: “Dat sure am Miss Eva; it sure am.” Miss Eva was another daughter of the family. “Is it a good picture of her?” asked Miss Florence. Re garding the picture with a Hage air Aunt Lucy replied: “I tfnk it favor Miss Eva jus’ a bit.”— Harper's Magazine for July. PERSONAL.

After they had left a servant, entered and saw the brain. “They have forgot ten something,” he exclaimed, took tne brain and threw it Into the gutter. “Finis rerum.” Two Giants Have a Bloody Fight. From the Ismittville Courier-Journal. AKiio.v. 0., Juno 19.—A shocking killing and a sudden death were the occasion of great excite ment last night in Peninsula, a village on the Valley railway about twelve miles north of here. For six weeks past W. 11. Ann field, a giant. SO years old, standing 6 feet 6 inches, and weigh ing 270 pounds, has been about the Peninsula quarries. He was formerly in the Confederate army. He lias been a frequenter of D. A. Gar vey's saloon, and has been known as a jovial fellow, with the strange notion, when intoxicat ed, that he was a detective. For some time past Armfield and Garvey have had a dispute over 80c., which the saloon man claimed Arm field owed him. Last night Armiteld again went into Garvey's saloon and the dispute was renewed, when Armfield challenged Garvey, who is also a perfect giant in strength, to come out into the street ana fight him. Garvey de clined. Afterward the men met in a neighbor ing saloon, and the quarrel was renewed. Words led to blows, and Garvey, seizing a blacksmith’s chisel, beat Armfield in a shock ing manner. The first blow fell on Armfield'* right hand, which bears a deep cut the shape of the chisel. The back of his left hand also has two chunks cut out of it*. The nose is terribly cut, and a frightful holerraps open behind at the lower point of the left ear, in which the doctor stuck a probe fully two inches, both shells of the skull being penetrated by the blow. Three of Armfleld’s ribs are broken, and he will die. Garvey was placed under arrest. A Salutary Earthquake. From the Virginia Enterprise. A Comstoeker who yesterday returned from Waller's Hot Springs says there was a lively time the night of the earthquake among the "old rheumatic stiffs.” He says the shocks at the Springs were simply terrific. They were rough at Genva, and racked the court house and other buildings badly, but were a mere shiver compared with the big thumps that made the hotel at Walley’s dance jigs. He declares that had such shocks visited the Comstock, not a brick building in Virginia, Ne.v., would have been left standing. There was the wildest con sternation among the patients. Men who had been limping about for days, hardly able to put one foot before the other, and men who thought they could not navigate at all, except on crutches, bopped out of their beds as nimbly as youths of 16. Cramped and crooked legs were straightened out in a hurry. Not a man remem bered that he had ever had rheumatism. He says that even Johnny Cullen, the well-known Comstoeker, who for days had been carried from one bed to another, hopped up as lively as a cricket and beat all the rest at getting into his clothes. He says Johnny may have done some lively dressing as a fireman in early days, but on this occasion ‘'he just flew into hiseloth.es!” It is the opinion of our Comstoeker that the shak ing up did all the patients good. In his own case, he is sure that it almost made him well. As regards the effects of the shocks on the springs, the flow from them has been about doubled, and the water is twice as hot as before. Remember. Whate’er the future may unfold, Whate’er the word Time's pen may write, Although we two should drift apart And all our bright day end in night, Will you remember? You say that you will never change, That you’ll be ever true; and yet We cannot see the journey’s end, And it is easier to forget Than to remember. O, when the cares of life press hard, With heart and brain in need of rest, Then shall I lay my weary head In peace upon your faithful breast? Will you remember? When wrinkles mar my once fair brow, And when my dark hair fades to white, Then will you iove me just the same As when mv youthful eyes were bright? Will you remember? The stars shine clearly o’er us now, The sky above is fair, serene. But in the tempest and the storm Can I upon your strong arm lean? Will you remember? Ah. shall we ever live to know That time but strengthens love like ours! In that bright land, the stars beyond, Amid everlasting flowers Shall we remember ? Isabel Hotchkiss. New York’s Rising Generation. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. A lady had the bad luck to step on her dia mond bar pin and break the fastening. She rang for a messenger, and sat down to write a note that the boy could mail on his way to the jeweler. As she was directing the envelope the boy entered. “Take that,” she said, extending the pin, and never looking tip, as she finished the superscrip tion, intending to add "to the jewelers at the corner and wait for it.” But the small tough, not much higher than the table, broke in before she could finish her sen tence, with "How much do you want to get on it.” The astonished lady looked at the little mfflian in amazement. “How much do I want to get on it?” she repeated. “Yes; you wants me to pound it, don't yer?” “Pound it? Mercy, no. I just stepped on it and have broken the pin.” "That don't spile the sparkle. I guess yer kin git twenty cases on it.” “Why, boy, what are you talking about?" “Oh, come off! Der yer waut me to hock it, or don’t yer? What's yer racket?” The lady called for help. She had heard that the insane possessed unnatural strength, and though this young cub didn't weight ninety, she couldn't tell what he might do if he was as crazy as he talked. It was not until the servant acted as interpreter that the hoodlum was made to understand the brooch was to go to a jeweller to be repaired, instead of a pawnbroker's shop; but the boy explained that most all the ladies who sent such things by him “was spouters, and was raisin’ the wind on their supers and sparkles. V Formidable Hog Stealers. “I took him plump between the eyes, and be curled up as beautiful as anything you ever saw.” "Wbat was that?” asked one of the San Fran cisco Examiner's young men, overhearing the remark from one of the two men at the Russ House yesterday. “A bear,” said the man, “and the place was in the foothills of Sutter county, about nine miles from Sutterville, where I live. My name is Hobson—John Dobson. It was last Tuesday night that 1 killed him. This is the fourth one I have killed since January. "The biggest one 1 got was during the middle of February. He must have weighed close to 1,000 pounds. This other one would weigh about TOO, and the other two about 600 or 800 each. They were good, soggy fellows, all of them. "What had they been doing? Stole my hogs. I had a lot of six shotes all cooped up in a pen under some pine trees. The beats kept getting them, one by one. In April one night I heard a terrific squealing, and, looking out, saw Ilruin climbing the fence and making off with one in his arms. “Fool like, I ha<l lent my gun that day to Tom Nickerson, a neighlwr of mine. There was nothing to do but grin and bear it, as I saw him making away. "Then I missed another one, and there was but one more left. Pork was getting to lie pork. 1 said to myself; ‘This business has about wound itself to a close'. I’ll have the next bear that comes here after meat, or my name isn’t what it used to be.’ As I said, I had got several of them along in the winter, but I just wanted the ono who had the audacity to come and steal my last hog. “1 sat up and Monday nights, but nary hear, wife said the animal knew 1 was on deck, come at all. 1 stuck it out, 1 Just before midnight the next night niy p'ii door a dark ob ject come along with his ponderous, yet, I thouwhat cautious trend. “1 had a in, and I waited until he reared poise himself on the heavy rail fence.

A prettier shot you never Mw- He gave one loud--almost human—shriek, fell straight forward and col lapsed as pretty as could be. ! ‘Tln; lone hog gave a triumphant grunt, as much as to say that it had got to lie a very had time of the year for hears. I think now that I have pretty well t hinned them out, This was the only one I have been able to track around them for some time. “But about the growingest and most promis ing nuisances in the upper country now are the red foxes. They are getting to he a genuine pest. A few years ago there were almost none. Now you see them everywhere, but they are the thickest in the grape-growing districts of the foothills. They are getting to be destructive, and 1 think the only way for the State to suc cessfully get rid of them Is to offer a bounty for their scalp. "If they keep on increasing in the same ratio for the next two years that they have In five, they will lie very formidable—a little like the Australian rabbit, about which there was much in all the papers a short time ago." Said an old bachelor: “After boarding in a good many different heusea I have come to the conclusion that where the table is wretched the People are amusing and Jovial. Ws*.o it IN good the boarders ure apt to be more than ordinarily stupid and uuinteresting. 1 account for the fact on the well-known physiological principle that a full stomach makes a stupid brain, - ’ “What a full stomach vours mult he then,” said his landlady s daughter, who chanced to overhear his remark.—Philadelphia Newt.

The importation of oleomargarine last year into England from Holland alone amounted to 83,396,700 pounds, or more than half the quan tity of butter imported into England from all countries. A great deal of this oleomargarine was sold as butter. The burning of the Paterson iron works is attributed to the English sparrow. The spar rows have been noticed carrying straw and other inflammable stuff and building their nests among the girders, and it is believed that the sparks lodging in these nests caused the Are. The ghost of Mrs. Roxaiana Druse, the Her kimer (N. Y.) county woman who was hanged for the murder of her husband, now pays nightly visits to the cell in which she was con fined, and frightens all the jailers by moaning from midnight till dawn. Or so the jailers say. May 14 Charles Sage and Catherine Brest, of Duncansville, Pa., were married. All went well until the other day. He sent home a piece of veal and a keg of beer. The rats ran off with the veal and all the beer leaked out of the keg. Then he put on his coat and abandoned his wife and home. Is repairing the Presbyterian church in Hoopeston, 111., the steeple, which hod long been a home for innumerable English sparrows, was cleaned out. The straw- that the little pests had carried into the steeple for nests amounted to nearly enough to fill a wagon box, and it was taken out and burned. * A yearling calf worth $6 became the subject of a lawsuit in Fort Worth, Tex., a year ago. The case has been tried several times and moved from one justice’s court to another until the costs now amount to akout S2OO. Whichever way the case is decided it will be appealed, and the costs go on piling up. The eight longest rivers in the world, accord ing to the calculations of Maj. Gen. A. von Tiblio, are as follows: Missouri-Mississippi 4,194 miles, Nile 4,020, Yang-tse-Kian 3,159, Amazon 3,063, Yenesei-Scanga 2,950, Amur 2,950, Congo 2,883, Mackenzie 2,868. The length of the Mis souri-Mississippi is taken from the report of Messrs. Humphreys and Abbott. Kloders esti mates it at 3,658 miles. A yoitno New Orleans woman is preparing to go into the house-decorating business, and this fall will offer her services for graining wood work, for wall and ceiling painting and for deco rating fireplaces. This artist recently painted a wisteria vine in full blossom around the frame of a bedroom door. The vine sprang from the molding of the wall and clambered up the iamb, showing delicate tendrils and clusters of bloom on both woodwork and wall. They drive horses very rapidly out West. To a reporter quite recently Col. J. W. Dwyer, of New Mexico, said: “We think nothing of driving sixty miles a day. I have driven a span of horses seventy-five miles in a single day with out seeming to weary them. There is some thing about the air and atmospheric conditions that permits the lungs of animals to work just right all the time. My ranch is thirty miles from Senator Dorsey’s, and three hours is con sidered ample time to drive over there.” In one of the battles of the Mexican war Lieut. |George 11. Derby was wounded, and the Commander-in-Chief, being near, rode up to the group surrounding him, and, finding that the injury was not dangerous, started away with the parting salutation: "Good-day, Leftenant Darby.” "Good-day, General Scott, ’’ responded the party addressed, sufficiently loud for his re tiring superior to hear. “The General's name is not Scatt,” said one of the group. “No!” was the response; “andneither is my name Darby.” Col. “Pat” Donan sees great possibilities in natural gasr Hear him sling adjectives about it: “With a sewer-sized main run into the National Capitol and smaller pipes into all our State houses, court rooms, city halls and edi torial sanctums, every shaft, and spindle and loom, every cogwheel, trip-hammer and hand organ, every buzz-saw, wheat comer elevator, scissors grinder, whirligig and merry-go-round in our peerless, four-ocenn-washed empire of liberty, can be run without cost, free-gratis-for not hing-without-a-cent. ’ ’ A private letter from Mexico reports what seems to have been an attempt to assassinate the Rev. J. W. Butler, the well known Methodist clergyman attached to the Methodist mission in the city of Mexico. While riding recently in a railway car a bullet, apparently aimed at hint, passed through the window of the car, and would undoubtedly have struck him had he not a moment before slightly changed his position. The same writer, who has been a long resident in Mexico, and is well qualified to express an opinion, also writes: “It is a truth that a Protestant missionary’s life is not safe if he is known, save in the larger cities and a few other places.” It is said that M. Pasteur has once more modi fied his method of anti-rabic inoculations. For simple wounds he has returned to the first sys tem of mild attenuated virus. For bites about the face and head and severe bites about the body more virulent medulla: are used, but'these do not at tain the virulence indicated by M. Pas teur in his last communication. The last three deaths are: Ph. Hydram, aged 56, bitten on Oct. 5, and treated from the 10th to the 21st of the same mouth; died on April 21 of rabies. J. B. Gachet, 25 years of age, bitten on April 4, treated from the 10th to the 20th, and died on May 2. J. Hayden, aged 8, bitten on April 16, treated from April 22 to May 15; died on May 18. Prof. F. N. Crouch, author of “Kathleen Mavourneen,” tells how he has come to be elected a Fellow of the London Society of Arts, Letters and Sciences. That society got acquainted with him through a series of articles he wrote for "The Folio,” in which he gave his reminiscenses of English musicians. The first thing he heard from tbe society was an invitation to join it, and with the invitation came seconding notes from several royal personages. After his elec tion he sent to the society with his acceptance the original manuscript of many of his works. As soon us he has finished writing his own life, on which he liar, lieen engaged for a long time, ho will send copies of it to the society and also to all members of the British royal family. He will he 87 years old next month. Most of his twenty-seven children are still living. The business men in London are great friends and admirers of the Prince of Wales. The Queen's absence from London is a constant sub ject of unfavorable criticism from the city men; they charge much of the business depres sion and dullness in London commercial affairs to tho character and administration of the Queen. They say that if the Prince of Wales could only become King London would be one of the gayest cities in the world. There would be one round of royal entertainments after another, which would attract hero strangers from everywhere |with plenty of money to spend. The city men seem to regard the royal family as a means of attracting business to London. The failure to have plenty of royal entertainments is considered by them the most vicious feature of a bad administration. Col. Phociak Howard, the Illinois gentleman who is the alleged recipient of the fraudulent letter from Jefferson Davis touching the battle dag issue, is a character. He was once a peri patetic printer, but he now has u frog farm near Danville. He is a large man with a plethoric abdomen, and lie usually wears an old-fashioned shad-belly coat with brass buttons. He also affects a wide brimmed slouch hat. He writes a good deal for the newspapers, talks a gnat deal in a loud voice about himself, attends all gatherings, from funerals to national conven tions, and when he has lubricated his vocal chords with the oil of corn he can come as near imparting a vermillipn tinge to a small town as any man of his lurid on the prairies. His inti mate friends speak of him as “Old Phosb.’’ In the days when the (Iranger party threatened to overwhelm Illinois Phoclon warm great man. The other day a working jeweler named Simpson, In Prince Albert street, Brighton, Eng., met with a strange picee of luck at an auction in that town. A picture of a negro in an old and dilapidated frame, was put up ns a lot, ami was knocked down to him “for a mere song," amid the jeers of the brokers mid other attendants of the rooms. On the buck of the canvas, however, Mr Simpson had noted, when the pictures were on view the previous day, the words “Dr. Johnson's Servant," and his curiosity being stimulated thereby, he referred to “Boswell” and to the “Life of Reynolds," when he found that Sir Joshua hod painted tt t least one portrait of John n illiams, the black servant who w as so long in the employ of Johnson. The stylo of minting struel; several amateurs as rather in the style of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and that view has since been continued by one or two experts who have given their opinion that the portalt Is cither an original painting of Reynoius, or else a remarkably good copy (possibly a replica) of the iiortmit which the great master uuiuieU for Sir 0.
