That is the r cord of ages of a couple w hose marriage t ok place in Boston the other day. Who s vs marriage is a failure? Why this talk about dividing Texas? Isn't it a waste of time? Texas is big enough to be cut into quite a number of states, but she objects to being divided. Paper has been put to a great many uses, and Mr. Edwin Atkinson is trying to show t jat it could bo put to many more; but the greatest thing in paper is the newspaper. A 2-two- year old boy in a Tennessee town is said to be an inveterate smoker of cigars and pipes. This is very bad, but it might be woise. He might have smoked cigar ettes. The Purroy Club of New York will probably be transformed into the David B. Hill club, with the motto, “Hill for Presi dent in 1892. w This seems to tie an early l eginning of the campaign of that year, but the democrats cannot begin too soon. Mr. iSamual J Randall doesn’t agree with th< democrats who assert that it will be a good thing for the party if they hare lost the next House. He said it would be a great misfortULe, und the democrats ought to have control, if by only one majority. Probably Mr. Blaine’s attitude with regard to a cabinet position might be stated thus: If he wants to be Secretary of State, he will be appointed. Ho wants the ap pointment, because there are very few things in tbo line of public office that he doesn’t want. Mr. Barnes, of Georgia, is back in Wash ington. Mr. Barnes will be remembered by scientists and alleged scientists as the gent le man who is said to offer a big prize for the discovery of the yellow fever germ. He care fully peruses and promptly answers all letters on the subject. Inventor Thomas A. Edison has a horse of which he had better get rid. The horse ran away and threw him out of the buggy the other day, and now it has served Mrs Edi son In the same manner. If the beast isnot disposed of, the world of science nmy lose its leading member. Mr. Hall McAllister died in San Francisco the other day. He was a brother of Ward McAllister,.of New York, who was making his toilet preparatory to attending a ( arty given by one of bis 400 w hen lie heard of bis bereavement. The New York World says the three McAllister brothers came to New York originally from Georgia. Baltimoreans are wondering what the name of the Baltimore young lady is who is to marry the Prince of f’ioss, and a number of them think it is Miss Billie May, a sister of Sheriff May. The sheriff says that if his sister ia engaged to a German prince, he doesn’t know it; but it is possible that the y ing lady has been engsged more than i ace without telling her brother. The other day, in an Ohio village school, a toucher whipped an unruly and trifling pupil. The next day the pupil's faihor walked into the schor l room and told the teacher to apologize or to prepare fop a fight. The teacher prepared himself, and by the end of the first round the patron vas knocked out. More teachers of that ort appear to lie needed. When pupils de orwe to be corrected at school, it is the taachsr’a business to correct them, and it is very foolish of parents to interfere. The Message. The President’s message is a clear and comprehensive review of the most impor tant matters pertaining to the government, and of the relations between this and for eign countries. It is not a state paper that will excite a great deal of comment, but it will le readily admitted that it fully meet* the purpose for which it is intended. The last annual message treated of only ono sub ject, that of the tariff. The preseut ono treats of many subjects, but it makes the tariff the most prominent by giving it the leading place. The position taken on the tariff in the message of a year ago is maintained. The Pi evident is not disposed to fake a step backward < n that issue. In fact, he is ms strongly of the b lief as ever that the best interests of the country demand a thorough revision and reduction of the tariff. He calls attention to the steadily increasing surplus, and the danger wh.ch is to be apprehended from it. He is con fident that the farmers and the laboring classes are gradually growing poorer because of the high protective tariff, which not only enables the rich to grow richer, but is making the distinction between the rich and poor more clearly olarked. He is satisfied that the time is not distant when the farmers will see that a high protective tariff is against their in terests and the working po pie, and all others who earn small incomes, will de mand a reduction in the cost of the neces saries of life. The policy of making extravagant appro priations in order to get rid of the surplus is condemned. Such appropriations have a very demoralising influence. When a policy of that k nd is once adopted it is diflk ult to cha’ ge it. Congressman are always ready to devote the public money to purposes which will aid them in their ambi tious purposes. Tnat is why they vote pension appropriations so freely mid with out regard to the merits of pension claims. Tie President thinks that tb pension laws should be revised, because, as the laws are at present, there is a greet deal of fraud and injustice. There are 102 diffe: ent rates of pensions paid where thereou'lit to be not more than a quarter of that number. Ttaftv were 60,000 pensioner* added to the pension roll* la®, v< ar, and over $78,000,000 was paid out in pensions. Thu President complains that congress men neglect legislation that is imperatively demanded, but aro always riady to pudi measure* which promise to increase their popularity aud influence. The need for an enlargement of the supreme court, for in stance, is an urgent one, but it. s'eras im possible to get any ono of the bills on that subject considered. There aro claims which have been pending against t ie government for many years,and are no nearer .settlement than they were a score of years ng<. Jus tice and fair dealing require that these things ought to be attended to. More federal prisons arc needed. Money could be saved to the gov ernment by building them, aud als> public buildings in all the principal towns for post offices and other government purposes. The President calls attention to the neces sity for respecting the rights of the states. He does not believe that the good of the republic will bo advanced by encroaching upon these rights. The constitution mark* the channels which the national legislature and the federal courts should follow, and the closer they are followed the bitter it will be for the country. The Murchison incident is touched upon, and the action of the governme it in refusing to communicate fur ther with England through Lord Sackville, justified. The opportunity to recall Lord Sackville was given to the En glish government, aid when a disposition was shown not to take advantage of it, the President assumed the responsibility of re fusing to further recognize him as E gland's representative. The President still entertains the opinion that the coinage of silver ought to be sus- pended, and approves the recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury who, in his annual report, says: "Far more gold and silver coins are now in the possession of the government than probably ever will be needed for the redemption of certificates. Future accumulations of the precious metals should be ogly in the form of bullion, which can be kept more safely and counted more easily than coin.” If this suggestion were accepted, the mints might be closed and a large and useless expense avoided. The President makes several other recom mendations. One of them is that the pub lic lands be kept from greedy corporations in order that the nation may have cheap homes to offer to home seekers. The Demo cratic party, since it has been in power, has recovered from land grant corporations about 80,000,000 acres. If the Republican party is wise it will not again give these lands to railroad companies. Another reform recommended relates to the consular >erv ice. Our consuls have it in their power to greatly increase our foreign commerce. They are so poorly paid, however, that they have not much encouragement to advam-e our commercial interests. Better compensa tion would secure the services of abler men who would more than repay the country for any increase in their pay. The message contains the gist of the re ports of the heads of the departments, and those who read it will have a prettv clear idea of the actual condition of affairs of the government. The Memphis Avalanche was asked the other day by a citizen of Memphis: "When do jou expect to stop advertising our sani tary condition to the world!” That was a plain question, and it received a plain an swer. The Avalanche said: "Not until our sauilary condition has been remedied. Mem phis can never have manufactories, it can never become really great, until it lia< good streets and sewers.” Hadn’t Memphis bet ter go to work and provide these things, so ns to quiat the Avalanche? The Interstate Immigration Convention will meet in Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 12. Georgia, Florida, Tenneesee, Alabama, Louisiana. Texaa, Arkansas, Colorado and Arizona probably will bo represented. In dustrious and honest immigrants would meet with a cordial welcome in the south. England is having a big gun made to keep her enemies from lauding on her coast. It will weigh 200 tons, and will drop a two-ton projectile fifteen miles at sea. A correspondent suggests that it begins to look as if London and Paris would born', ard each other some day. Congressman Allen, of Mississippi, is not j altogether cast down by democratic defeat. I He finds some comfort in the reflection that j wherever he spoke in New York, there were | democratic gains. It Is a great pltv he did 1 not make a rouang speech in Brooklyn. A Health Bureau Desired, The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce framed a bill, creating a bureau of health, a few weeks ago, which it proposes to ask congress to pass this winter. A copy o? the bill has been sent to the B >ard of Trade '*f this city, and Mr. John R. Young, Mr. Horace A. Crane and Mr. W. W. Chis holm have been appointed a committee of that body to consider it, and secure an approval of it from the commercial bodies and health authorities of this city. The proposed health bureau is tote at tached to the Interior Department. It is to have a chief commissioner and a board of twenty commissioners. This board is to he a sort of assistant to local boards of health, aud its services will bo at the com mand of the governor of any state. It is authorized to make regulations for land and sea quarantine, and tradeeand travel cannot be interrupted except in accordance wi’h such regulations. The bill appears to be a crude one, and, perhaps, if if it wore to become a law, the pieces it provides would be Ailed by physi cians who like politics better than their pro fession. In fact, it doesn’t promise any bet ter results than were obtained from the na tional board o:' health, which, as everybody know*, was a failure. Instead of creating auother bureau, why not enlarge the powers and increase the force cf t'.e marine hospital service? That service is now thoroughly organized, and its physicians are trained men, win) have been connected with it since they began the pract ce of their profession. If a man of ability and determination is selected to succeed the present efficient head of that service, and he is authorized to establish quarantine, and deal with epi demics in any part, of the country, when ever the a'-sLtance of the marine hospital service is desired, and is given all the assis tance he needs, he will do the country a great deal more service than a health bureau, such as the New Orleans chamber of commerce wants. We have had ono hanlth bureau; now let us give the marine hospital service, which has proven itself to bo cf vme account, a fair trial. Peeking Homes Near Savannah. Postmaster Lamar received two letters yesterday from men with families who would like to secure homes in this part of the south. One of the writers resides in Michigan, and the other in Maryland. Ono w ants to get a small farm near this city, and the other wants to get a home on a salt water river, not far from this city. There aro a good many intelligent and thrifty people in different parts of the country who would settle in Georgia at once if they had any encouragement to do so. The truth is, however, that they do not know whereto go to look for suitable lands. Immigrants who go to the wo t know that there are millions of acres of public lands there from which to select farms. In this state there are no public lands, and there are no means of finding out w hat lands aro for sale, what the prices of them are. and what the nature of their soil is. The Morning News has suggested many times that there ought to he an agency in this city to furnish information respecting the lands of the state. There are hundreds of t housands of acres which can bo obtained for prices only a little above those of gov ernment lands. If an agency, backed up by a strong land and immigration company, were located here, it ought to be equipped so ft* to do a land business. Options upon thousands of acres could be obtained, and in that way prices could be kept within rea sonable bounds. Before there can be a great amount of immigration here, there must be some means adopted for making known the localities in which good land at fair prices can l.e obtained. The immigrant and the landowner must be brought into communi cation with each other, and that can be done only in such an organization a* above suggested. Are there not some enterpris ing men in this community who are willing to take hold of this matter and make it a success? When women set themselves to study politics, they generally evolve something startling. Miss Mamie L. Hatchett, of North Carolina, is not a female suffragist, hut she became interested lately in the subject of bribery iu presidential elections, and has suggested the following remedy: I vet each state select a governor, then let the differ ent governors select from their number a president. Then let the Senate be composed of these governors. The young lady had better confine her literary efforts to the poet’s corner of the village newspaper. New York republicans have begun to fight over the bloody shirt. At a banquet the other night, Mr. Stewart L. Woodford waved that garment very vigorously, and was afterward rebuked by a gentleman named Seabury. Mr. Seabury got a bloody nose and a black eye for his pains, for sev eral republicans immediately jumped on him. Home people seem to forget that the bloody shirt is not worth fighting over. The democrats hope that Gen. Harrison will enforce the civil service laws, not be cause they want to hold on to some of the offices, but because such a policy would raise the biggest kind of a quarrel in the Republican party, and would go far toward insuring democratic success in 18142. Re publicans are not civil service reformers. What they want is the spoils, and if they don’t get them they w ill kick. Mr. John H. Walsh is missing from Washington. The strange part of his con tinued absence is t hat he is au office holder. He went to New York to vote and has not been heard trom since. Couldn’t his ab sence be attributed to one of two causes; He has taken a novel method of resigning before being asked to go, or he bet on Cleveland and doesn’t care to meet his Washington friends. Indications arc cropping out that repub licans iu the Senate will oppose Mr. Perry Belmont's confirmation as minister to SDaiu, because Mr. Belmont was once “sassy” to Mr. Blaine, but unices all the re publican vote against him, he will be con firmed. There are several who may be de pended on not to fight Mr. Blaine's battles for him. Among them are Senators Sher man and Edmunds. The youthful Emperor of China does not believe marriage is a failure. A sweetheart has been selected for him, and preparations for his marriage ar e being made on such a tremendous scale that it is thought that $10,000,000 will not lie more thau sufficient to meet the expense that will be incurred. The Sparta Ishmaelite thinks Capt. Carlton's scat will be ounteeted In the next House “because Fleming wants it." That is just it. The lithmaetilc lias the knack of striking the naU on the head, and driving I it iu at one blow now and then. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1888. CURRENT COMMENT. $5,000 Would Not Be Enough.

From the Chicago Sewn (Ind.) it Is a pat uit fact t hat there is no state in the union so corrupt in its elections as Indiana. The case would be farcical if it was not so shameful. Something must be done, but it is not for the newspapers to do it. This is a func tion peculiar to the grand jury. The remedy for the disease is to be found not in the press, but in the criminal court, and to the criminal court do we earnestly commend it. BRIGHT 3IT&.

QrKKN Victoria intends to place An equestrian statue of the late Emperor Frederick in Wind sor Great Park, in close proximity to th statue of the Prince Consort which has tieca purchased out of the women's jubilee offering. Chari.cs Martell and Mrs. Sullivan of Graf ton. I>ak., were married last Monday. The groom is JJJ years old and the bride has tarr.ed on this earth for 75 years.

President William Uichardson of the At lantic system *f surface roads In Brooklyn has issued this order: “On and after. Tan. 1, ISB9, none hut American citizens shall be em ployed by the Atlantic system of surface roads.” This order has been posted in all shops of the company. There comes a story from Albany that Gov. Hill, when recently taking leave of a friend bound for Oregon remarked: 1 have entirely recovered from the fatigue of the canvass, and if OB your journey you Bo6t with any office under the blue vault you would like me to run for, just let me know.” Sam Felton, Jr., says the Wall Street flew*, has been elected a director of the Erie radway. When Sam succeeds in having two trains run ning on the same track, in opposite directions, pass each other without damage, as he is now trying to do, he will be a great railroad man ager. but not until then. Mrs. Anderson of Portland, Ore., is one woman who is able to take care of herself She went out shopping the other day and noticed that a young man was dogging her step*.

A sketch of Mrs. Humphrey Ward describes her as by birth an Australian Her husband, it is mentioned, is now tb* art critic of the I<on don Timr?, hut hischief work is in editing works for print. Mrs. Ward's first volume was a child's story, “Milly and Oily,” IMI. with illus trations by the wife of the well-known artist. Alma Tadoina.

Mrs. Oscar Wilde has boon lecturing in Ixmdon on “Rational Dress for Women.” The lecturer is, says the London Star, very young and pretty, but as a public speaker she has much to learn. To bejpn with, Mrs. Wilde! is wildly innocent of the demeanor of a publio speaker She giggles at her own witticisms, tn nocently twists her shoulders, bends her head, and explodes in a titter when she reads what she considers a jiarticularly good thing Her lecture was good iu the main, simple, clear, un decorated. Marshal McMahon, who has just entered upon his Hist year, has beeo residing for the last few months at the Chateau Je la Foret, near Orleans, dividing his time between shooting and working upon his memoirs, which are now nearly completed. These memoirs, which are said by Gn. du Barail and othersof his intimate friends, who have been privileged to hear ■ few extracts read to them by the marshal, to be highly interesting, sre not to be published until after his death. It is said that they begin: “I am accused of having served several govern ments. It is quite tme.

A boy of 10, who was on familiar terms with a Griswold street insurant** man, entered the office at 9 o'clock yestetday morning, and said: “Mebbe you like athletic*?” “Yes.” “Well, I'm going to have some at 'leven o'clock with Frenchy, ami mebbe you'd like to be o*i hand?” “What are you going to do?” "Box him six rounds, Kingsbury rules, fur 10 cents, winner to take all.

So I came to tell you that them athletics was off—way off—with hon ors in my favor.” Tha Child's Swift Subtlety. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. W'ith that quaint disregard for the fitness of things that some fond fathers show, a Pitts burgh, on his return from a four through many lands, gave to his little daughters, Susan and Mary, a couple of exquisitely fashioned dolls he had bought In Paris. Both girls are at the age win n a doll is dearest to the soul, but when, also, the mischievous destructive tendency of youth is strongest. A rag doll is just as much of a treasure to a maid of fi or' as the costliest combination of wax or china ever made. The dolls in this case were cl:ina. and their new owners were instructed to be very careful in handling them. They were awfully careful for the whole of one day. The next day Susan became convinced after breakfast that the dolls had not had enough exercise. She persuaded Mary to allow her to take temporary possession of her doll. Then she proceeded to waltz them round and round the room. Both dolls were exactly alike in every feature, even down to tne smallest article of the Parisian attire. QfFinaiiy the calamitous climax came One of the dolls came into violent colision with an arm chair, and its head flew off and rolled under the stern of Noah's ark. Susan looked aghast at the headless toy for a moment, but then with the greatest composure she turned to her sister who was holding up her bands in horror, say ing. “Too bad, your doll's broken. Mary!” It was a rapid flight of reasoning that led Susan to determine off hand the ownership of the headless doll. Rather a Heroic Course. From the Boston Post. I heard the other day an authentic story of something that happened here iu Boston, which recalls an incident in one of Balsac'R novels and tends to Rupport the old saving about truth and fiction. It seems that the wife of a young man who has a little housy of his own somewhere in the outlying districts, but whose salary is very small, fell ill. and was unable to leave her room for several months. The doctor, as often hap pens, prescribed a great many remedies, tonics and beverages, suen os Apouinaris water and champagne, which, being very expensive, were far beyond the young husband's means. What could be done ? He was bound that his wife should have everything which the doctor ordered, and his purse having l>een emptied, he stole out one evening with the parlor clock under his arm and returned with a $5 bill. A large easy chair was expended two days later for a fsw bottles of port wine, and, to cut the story short, by th * rime the young woman was able to go down stairs, the rooms on the first floor iiad been stripped of their contents to pay the grocer and ti.** apothecary.

Plackberry Blossoms. From the Host on Transcript. From a thicket in the corner of a zig-zag fence, Where the succulent pofceberry stalks uv>rear. "NVitli sassafras and mu mac U in a wild growth dense. The blackberry blossoms through the brown rr Us peer. With dew drops shining on their long white sprays. Where the yellow bee buzzes and the redbird flies, They marvel at the world and its new-found ways. With innocent wonder in their wild, sweet eyes. Magnolias are white, Aud roses are bright. And many there be that love them; But with dew-besprinkled faces And wildwood graces. Oh, the blackberry blossoms are above them! When the pine boughs are swinging in the soft May breeze. And bumble-bees are boasting of their spring tide gain. And the mockbird is singing out his happiest ' glees To fhe cotton tailed rabbit in the bend of the lane; They lean their faces on the moss grown rails. And listen to the melody the mockbird weaves; While the lizards go a-darting with their tremb ling tails Like slim long shuttles through the last year's leaves. Chrysanthemums art* fair, And orchids are rare. And many there be that love them; But with dew besprinkled faces And wildwood graces. Oh, the blackberry blossoms are above them! Tunkatoosa. Ala. Samuel Mi.nturn Peck, The Tragedy of Two Young Lives. From the Chicago Tribune. “Is it not lovely?'’ With lips slightly parted, her chest heaving with gentie excitement, aud her eyes luminous with the dreamy exultation of a deeply poetic nature, Glycerine McCurdy, in the first flush of her radiant young womanhood, leaned forward and drank in the glorious beauty of the laud scape. Her companion was a young man with a broad, intellectual forehead, cultivated eye glass, and a pair of the most aesthetic legs that ever wobbled Persons who have gazed in speechless admiration at those legs but we digress. At their feet, bathed in the hazy splendor of an Indian summer afternoon, broce the mur muring wavelets of the romantic t'alumet. whose blue ex pa mho reflected in its plat; id bosom the golden sky overhead, and the rich autumnal tints of the arboreal vegetation that fringed its shores. “Lovely'’’ echoed the young man. in reply to the exclamation of his fair companion, “it is beautiful beyond description!" With his soul in his eyes the ecstatic youth was looking at the rapt face beside him, and uot at the landscape. “(Mycerine,' he said, and his voice vibrated with emotion, “are there not times when the soul, freed from its fleshly thralldom—hold still, for heaven's sake:” With a powerful sweep of his arm he struck to the earth a native mosquito, and stood over it with clenched fist and flashing eyes. “It is dead," he panted. “Eulet Melon**." said the maiden, with ashen lips. “I thank you. You have saved my lite.” “Don't mention it. my darling 'heexclaimed. A vivid biush overspread the face of the lovely young girl “Forgive me. Glycerine,' murmured Eulet, “for my presumption In thus addressing you, but I can keep silent no longer." He bent over her and his breath fanned her glowing cheek ns he went on impetuously; “Glycerine Mot urdy, together we have fished for ring perch from the breakwater, forded Dearborn street after a shower at the risk of our lives, braved the atmosphere of Bridgeport, read Browning till we have experienced a gone ness that nothing but fried oysters would as image, and together we have wandered on these classic banks, until I have felt that life would be a beastly sham, a cold fraud, without you. Glycerine, I—" “Do not say it, Mr. Melons!” said the young lady, with averted face. “l>o not say it?" lie demanded, hotly. “After the soul communion we have had for years, the encouragement you have given nie. not to *•!>♦* k of the bouillon aud caramels you li tvo but let that pass Why may I not express the emotions of my soul. Glycerine McCurdy “Because" and there was a despairing wail in her voice as she moved away from him and drew a long, shuddering broath -“beca me.

In answer to the que*ti<?n: “What becomes of all the cracked and used-up billiard balls?" a New York contemporary says that those of real ivory are bought up and cut into dice and other small articles. A systematic EFroßr is being made in Massa chusetts to secure a fuDd for the brave life saving crews who worked so heroically and saved twenty eight lives during the gale off Nantasket Beach. For the last two years Malaga grapes have been so poor thousands of dealers have refused to handle them, and California Is now trying to produce a winter grape to take its place. Grape eaters will hope for success. Mme. Helene Flahtreiteb of Louisville, who sang one season in New York with the Ameri can Opera company, has gone to Rome, and is there singing with great success. She has a contralto voice of great dramatic power. A curious scene, says a Maine exchange, “was that of the recent zero morning on the Cel. Ham farm, in Lewiston. The proprietor was out haying. He had over two acres to cut, and beneath the riug of the Hashing scythe was ice. Such a phenomenon is worth putting down." “That's a wonderful recovery,” said House Surgeon Harris, at the Chambers Street hos pital, New York, the other day, as Goodwin Danser. a paper-ruler, years old, of Brooklyn, walked out of the institution. Danser was ad mitted to the hospital on Nov. 10, suffering from concussion and a fracture of the base of the skull. For three days he lay between life and death. He had fallen through a hatchway a distance of two stories, and had struck on his head. “There are soke men,” says the New York Ledger, “who cultivate white hands with fair nails. For nothing else do they care very par ticularly; all is well if only their hands be fine. There is even a ridiculous notion-that elegant hands are the most unequivocal test of wha is called good birth. We can say. for our own pari. that the finest hands we ever saw belonged to a woman who kept a butcher's stall in Ful ton market. So much for the nonsense about fine hands." S. F. Bemis of Fiskd&le, N. H., had trouble with an intoxicated man and then thought no more about it. The same day, when he fed his horses, he found the supply of meal was short, and so got a feed from the meal barrel in the hous j. The horse that ate this meal died that afternoon. Examination showed arsenic in the family rnoal barrel. Soon afterward he re ceived this unsigned dispatch: “Don't use the bread meal in your barrel. " The dispatch came from New Haven. Worcester has a religious society called “Faith Home.” The members, who number a dozen only, unable to obtain spiritual satisfac tion in the churches, meet every Sunday and study the Bible to suit themselves. Tuey be- \ lieve they can reach perfection and an euualiiy with Christ, and thus resist death and live an eternity on earth. To do this they believe that the body must be regenerated by means of ett tain mental and physical preparations. They indorse faith cures. The sub committee of the Dominion parlia ment, appointed last season to inquire into the matter of the communication of phthisis from animals to man, have concluded their labors. From questions propounded to nearly all the prominent medical men in Canada, tney have come to the conclusion that the disease is com municated to man through the flesh and milk of cows, and they will, at the next session of parliament, recomtneud that precautionary legislation be enacted. A curious incident in deer hunting is vouched for by a sportsman lately returned to Boston from the Maine woods. A party of hunters in a sledge on lake Moluneus saw anead of them a big deer. Immediately there was a race over the ice. the sledge speeding across the lake at a rate impossible to tne hunted animal. Suddenly the sledge met an obstacle and stopped. It was the dew, which had not only been overtaken, but had been impaled upon one of the runnel’s of the sledge. Its further capture was an easy matter. Miss Buell, a Cincinnati artist, spent the summer at Egmont, on the North sea. She a potato patch well situated for obtain ing sunset effects, and pitched her easel there. The owner objected, but she paid no attention to him. Taen he complained to the burgo master, and he refused to interfere. The farmer, as a lust resort, petitioned the king, and ttie result was a letter of reproof to the farmer, in which he declared that Miss Buell might trespass on all the potato patches iu Holland. Asa Enmst of Lanesville, N. Y., had a tussle with a big black bear, in the Catskills, a few days ago. He was hunting for small game, and therefore, had bis gun along. Bruin pounced upon him from # bebind a rock, ar.d knocking h s weapon to the ground, gave him several hugs. Enmst, though pretty well exhausted from the loss of blood, embraced an opportunity to re cover his cun. and then sent a bullet throng the animal's brain. Friends of I'unist, the next day. went to the scene of the conflict him brought the carcass, which weighed 200 pounds, to I*anesville. A “ghost" in the old Hock Hill estate at Med ford. Mass., is the subject for gossip in that vicinity. It is said to be spirit of Oapt. Kidd, and the belief is founded on an old tradition connected with tbo ©state. It is one of the nu merous places where the fabled treasure was tudden. Another theory is that the miduigt, visitor is the spirit of a New Hampshire farmer who was robbed and murdered there. The in i jority of people, however, have no story at all. and will believe in none. The visitor has the usual characteristics of a ghost and has d.s turbed all the inhabitants in the vicinity. Tuf question of reducing the number o' Japanese representatives at foreign courts is said to be under consideration in official ci;*cl s in that country.

Last September a stranger hird a dapple gray hors** and a buggy from a Bridgeport (Conn.) livery stable keeper named Raymond, and never made his appearance again. A few days ago a farmer in Seymour, who had heard of Raymond's loss, w rote to him that he must have the animal. He had made “a trade" for it, he explained, believing it to be a flue chest nut colored home, but when it got thoroughly wet on one occasion, tb© chestnut color wofre off, revealing a coat of dapple-gray.

Waco, Texas, Muy 9, 1888. Gentlemen: The wife of one of my custo mers was terribly afflicted with a loathsome skin disease, that covered her whole body. She was confined to her bed for several years by this affliction, and could not help herself at all. She could not sleep from a violent itching and sting ing of the skin. The disease baffled the skill of the physicians who treated it. Her husband began finally giving his wife Swift’s Specific, and she commenced to improve almost immediately, and in a few weeks she was apparently well. She is now a hearty, fine-looking lady, with no trace of the afllittion left. Yours very truly, J. E. Sears. Wholesale Druggist, Austin Avenue. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
