The .New York Sun continues to show its confidence in Mr. Cleveland’s renomination by abusing him. Defaulting bauk cashiers anil other de faulters are how blowing their brains out instead of going to Canada. They seem to think the uncertainties of the other world are preferable to exile in this. Bill Nyo aad James Whitcomb Riley have discontinued their combination ar rangement, and the cause assigned is Mr. Riley’s love for the bottle, which, it is stated, has completely mastered him. If Bill Nye could got Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston to travel with him nobody would miss Mr. Riley. The colored people of .the country seem to be holding a good many conventions for the discussion of the race problem; but does anybody know of any public good that has resulted from them ? , Very likely not; and it may be said with confi dence that no public good will result from them as long as they are called and run In the interest of the Republican party. Democratic newspapers printed in full Speaker Reed’s defense of his infamous rul ings. When ex-Senator Carlisle presented the democratic side, however, republican newspapers printed only a part of his state ments. One of them printed only about a dozen lines of it. Democratic newspapers are not afraid to have both sides laid before the public, bat republican newspapers evi dently are. A startling rumor was circulated in Dans ville, N. Y., a few days ugo. It was that the late Gen. Lester Faulkner feigned death in order to escape imprisonment. Evidence ■was produced showing that Gen. Faulkner died us stated in the dispatches. If he had wished to be buried to escape imprisonment be would no doubt have committed suicide. It is a reflection upon a man’s common sense to Suppose that he would willingly be buried alive. The coroner’s jury which found a verdict that the late Banker Ditniaa, of Phila delphia, was accidentally drowned, knew about as much concerning the facts as any body else, and that was very little. Ditman suddenly disappeared; six or eight weeks later the Schuylkill river gave up his body. Whether he committed suicide, or was acci dentally drowned, is a question that no man can settle, and the verdict of the coro ner’s jury doesn’t solve it. The great and good Mr. Wanamaker, who asks the blessing in one breath and misrepresents the south in tho next, is en gaged just now in trying to pacify repub licans in a Pennsylvania town. These republicans don’t like the postmaster that Mr. Wanamaker has given them, aud they are kicking over the traces. Brother Wan amaker should give them a colored post master. They are very fond of colored postmasters, but not in their town. Father Murphy, of St. Patrick’s church, Scranton, Pa., has been thundering for some time against Sunday violations of the liquor law of that city, but his thuuderings seemed to do no good. He determined, therefore, to resort to other methods, if necessary. Last Sunday he announced that if the violations were not stopped he would hire detectives to get evidence against the violators, whom he would tlion prosecute. The announcement created a big sensation. It was made in the morning, and that after noon aud night the violations wore very few. Republican Intolerance. The sympathy which th* Republican party expresses for the blacks is not genu ine. That party is selfish in all that it says aud does in behalf the blacks. Its purpose is to control the black vote. If it had no hope of being benefited -by that vote it would doubtless favor the deportation of the blacks. It certainly would not exert itself to improve tie-ir condition, nor would its organs and leaders continually <• ill attest! hi to alleged outrages upon them in [ta* s'-tiu Its championship of the blacks ( is pure r a basins*- matter, that contains no > rk'tnsuta of chanty, philanthrophy, or I human ity A clack democrat in the north and south ■-* ostracised by his own race, and in the ux'c;fc be is looked upon with suspicion by •it* r HibliOKUs. In some northern towns % ria-k democrat finds his surrouudings er vaiiac but p easJUit. The while repub tvaat r-ejv-d him as a curiosity, and are i:*;. r.g to give him employment. In zeact southern towns a black democrat's life r. danger from the people of his own r-iCA This intolerance is one of the reason* ;t sc many blacks, who do not sympa with the Republican party, remain a way from the polls. Of "ura? the Republican party will not sutm-S Shat it is intolerant. It wishes it to be NLored that it is the friend of the blacks for their good and not for the assistance it receive* from them. Unfortunately for it the facts do not tend to create a belief cf that kind. A day or two ago a convention of blacks was held iu Chicago, and it organized an Afro-American league. Dele gates were present from a majority of the states and territories. The resolutions it adopted pointed toward a black man’s party, the purpose being to hold the bol ‘auce of power, and thus force concessions from both parties. The secretary of tbo league is T. T. Fortune, of Now York, aud at the convention ha made a speech which was marked by ability and a great deal of good seise. In the course of it ho intimated that tiie blacks were not mortgaged to the Republican party. This intimation had about the same effect oil the Chicago Tribune, the leading repub lican organ ol the west, that a red rag has upon a mad bull. The Tribune at once assorted that Fortune was “a democratic decoy duck,” and it referred to him as “a coon,” and as the “New York coon.” Is not this pretty good evidence that the Republican party has no use for the blacks unless it can use them to strengthen itself? What better evidence could there be? As soon as the blacks show a disposition to cut loose from the Republican party the organs of that party begin to abuse them. If it were not for the black vote New York, Ohio and Indiana would always be democratic, and yet the blacks are never honored with iuiporlaut offices in thosa states. If the blacks should abandon the Republican party, the republican leaders and organs would uevor say a word in their behalf. Thev would abuse them, and that, too, iri terms more vigorous than they now use in waving the bloody shirt aud iu de tidling alleged southern outrages. The Republican party is the friend of the blacks for profit only, and it extends no helping hand to blacks who are democrats. Two of a Kind. It was very natural for ox Gov. Foraker to nominate Speaker Reed for President in 1892. They are very much alike, and aro a sort of a mutual admiration society. Speaker Reed admires Mr. Forakor because the latter is indifferent to the means by which he gains his ends. The speaker has not said whether or not he approves of the part Sir. F raker took in the ballot-box forgery business, but if he condemns him at all it is probable that he condemns him for being caught, aud not for permitting the publication of the forged cod tract. Mr. Foraker admires Speaker Reed, not for his ability, hut for bis wiilinguess to disregard law and precedent to gain a par tisan advantage. He thinks if Mr. Reed should be made President he would adopt" some method to keep his party in power, even though that method should beau un lawful one. Both Reed and Foraker are daugerous politicians. They are not the kiud of men the people are likely to call to the highest office in their gift. The talk that Reed’s unconstitutional rulings have made him popular is foolish. His own party does not approve of his revo lutionary acts with any degree of una nimity, and if the next House is demo cratic—and it is probable that it will be— ho will find that he is a very unpopular man. The force of the precedents he has made will be felt by his party then, and those who now applaud him will thon be the first to condemn him. Instead of nomi nating him for President they will be much more likely to hold him responsible for their loss of power. „ Boss Quay was uot satisfied with running Pennsylvania politics and dictating to the republicans of the House. He wanted to take a hand in Ohio politics. There was a man named Millinger whom he wanted for postmaster at Canton, Mr. McKinley’s home, and ho didn’t hesitate to work for the appointment. This was a remarkable thing for him to do, for congressmen have always been allowed to name the postmasters for their home cities. The republicans of Can ton kicked. They were perfectly willing for Quay to'exarcise’his power everywhere •except in Canton, and they made such a fuss that Milliuger retired from the race, and Mr. McKinley will be allowed to name tho appointee. It is to be hoped that this revolt against the republican boss is the forerunner of others. If the plan nrrauged by the democrats of the Ohio legislature for redistricting the congressional districts of that state is adopted, Messrs. McKinley and Kennedy, two shining republican lights iu congress, will shed their effulgent rays at homo after their present term. Mr. McKinley was re garded as a fair and conservative man by both democrats aud republicans until he took the lead on the floor in supporting Speaker Heed’s infamous rulings. If he had not done that, ho might have stood a good chance of re-election, no matter how his district was changed. As it is, he will probably find the democrats solidly against him. The sooner he is retired from public life the better for the country. Dr. Talmage, who arrived in New York from his foreign tour the other day, tells some interesting things about himself. He says that he ran foot races with Mr. Glad stone up and down a bili in England. As Dr. Tannage tells this, it must be accepted as true. It is a pity that the doctor failed to say which made the best time. He had the advantage in age, and he ought to have won, but probably that well known modesty which characterises American tourists pre vented him from telling the story of his triumph. TTTE MORNING NEWS : THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1890. Guard tha Banks. According to our dispatches two of the three New York hanks thst were closed a few days ago b cause it was thought that they had b*en wrecked by parties who had obtained control of th-‘m have resumed Lusine**. The two which resumed business are the Sixth National and the Equitable, and the one whose doors are yet closed is the Lenox. Had it not been for the prompt action of the cashier of tho Sixth National in notifying the Clearing House Association of the suspicious acts of the new president of that bank there is not much, if any, doubt ihat both it and the Equitable would have been wracked. This attempt at bank wrecking was a surprise in financial circles iu New York. There are a go id many transactions of a shady character among those who pass for financiers in that city, but never before had there been such a bold aud deliberate, at i tompt to wreck a bank. The fact that the j attempt came noar succeeding shows how j careless and indifferent bank presidents and j directors are in many instances with respect to their duties, and how little protection they afford to depositors and shareholders. Tho laws ought to be so amended that bank officials could be held responsible criminally as well as civilly for neglecting their duties. The president of the Sixth National aud his board of directors took an oath to faithfully administer the trust confided to their care. They did not respect their oath. The president sold out his stock and resigned, aud his board of directors did the same thing. They did not even inquire what the purpose of those who iiad purchased a conti oiling interest in the bunk wai, und uvidoutly they didn’t care. Mr. I,eland recognized his mistake when he saw that those to whom ho sola bis stock were wrack ing the bank, and thon he did his utmost to repair the wrong that he had unintention ally done. The lesson that ho learned, however, cost him not much less than $109,000, and it is one that he will not soon forget. This attempt to wreck banks in New \ ork emphasizes the suggestion that tho Morning News has several times ma le, viz., that the financial institutions iu this state which operate under state charters should be placed under state supervision. The poor people are putting their savings in these institutions, and it is tho duty of the state to see that they are conducted on a safe basis. There is no known reason to doubt the soundness of any one of them. Still, they may invest in hazardous under takings, in their auxioty to make big divi dends, and that they should not be permitted to do. The next legislature should place them under state supervision. A Better Harbor for Darien. Tho citizens of Darien anil Doboy want, a better harbor, and their commerce entitles them to it. There is not much probability lhat the Doboy bar can be improved to any considerable extent. In fact, it is not thought advisable to make an effort to deepen the water upon it. Darien has an other outlet to tho sea, however, and one that can be made available at a eompari tively small cost. It is by way of Sapelo sound. There is twenty-six feet of water on Sapelo bar. By deepening Mud river, a stream that connect* Doboy sound with Sapelo sound, a route t > the sea can be obtained that will a commodate vess jls of the deepest draft. Of course vessels of a comparatively light draft will continue to enter Dirieu’s liar .or over the Doboy bar, but if the proposed im provement is made vessels of deep draft will enter tae harbor by way of Sapelo and Mud River. It would not require a very large sum to deepen Mud River. Doubtless the river and harbor committee will be askad at once to favor an appropriation to make a pre liminary survey of the proposed route. Postmaster General Wanamaker has or dered the postmaster at New York to require a 1-eent stamp to be placed upon every wrapper containing a copy of Julian Ralph’s Chatter before being forwarded through that office. The reason made public for this is that Mr. Ralph arranged that each copy of Chatter should beau accident insurance policy to tho person having it in his possession, Mr. Wanamaker holding that such an arrangement made tbo publication simply the circular of an insurance com pany. It is suspected, however, that there was something else behind the great aud good Mr ; Wanamaker’s course. The fact is that Chatter chatters a good deal about him, and it tells some things which do not reflect credit upon him. It also ridicules him now and then. In a recent issue there appeared a curious and laughable little poem beginning, “Johnny Wanny’s got the grip,” and Johnny Wanny foamed at the mouth when he read it. When ho hail foamed a good deal he sat down and wrote to the postmaster at New York as indicated. Such is the story that has found its way into some of the New York newspapers. Providence, R. 1., comes forward with the most recent sensational breach of prom ise suit. Miss Mary T. Locke, of that city, wants $20,000 from Capt. Arlius M. Biabee, Chinese commissioner to the recent marine conference. When Capt. Bisbee lived in Rhode Island some years ago he was en gaged to Miss Locke. He wont to China, but returned in a few years, and married someone else. Miss Locks did not know until recently that he was married, and when she learned that he was she discov ered also that her heart had been damaged $20,000 worth. She will display the usual lot of sickening love letters when tho case comes to triaL These women whose bleeding hearts can bo cured only by a money poul tice should really be brought up with a jerk. The humorous speech which Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, made in the House the other day, was one of the decided hits of this session of congress. It held the speaker’s action up to ridicule ia a most effective way, aud the concluding sentence was as follows: “Like Moses flying from the rod which ho had flung down, and which Jhad turned into n serpent, the Republican parly will flee from general parliamentary law long before this session adjourns.” Mr. Wilson has not been known heretofore as a humorist, but the speech shows that he can deal out genuine humor as well os logic. Speaking of the Smith-Jackson contested election case, tho Philadelphia Inquirer says: “Smith was clearly entitled to his seat. In his case there was no doubt what ever. This makes the republican majority 169, or four over aquorum.” The Inquirer has summed up the republican argument ill a single sentence: “This makes the repub lican majority 169, or four over a quorum.” That kind of argument will have great weight on the republican side iu all of the other contested cases. In fact, no other kind has or will have any wsight. CURRENT COMM BN T. About tha Size of It.

Cheadle of Indiana, the only congressman without a committee, wishes it distinctly understood that he will be a candi date for renomination. Sir William Gull, the famous London phy sician who died last week, was astrikingly handsome man, a fine orator and an entertain ing conversationalist. He had little faith in drugs, a fact which goes to prove that his name was uot appropriate. Gov. Waterman of California is a republi can, but i< not popular with his party. Says a republican organ: “He fondly imagines that he will be re-el etod, but since the days of old BiglerC-aliform* has never had so incompetent a governor as Waterman, and he will discover his unpopularity when the next convention meets.” The Prince of Wales wears a No. 10 boot, while his dress pumps are of tho finest German patent leather and No. 9 In size.

Zorilla, the most popular Spanish republi can. is living quietly in Paris. He lives in furnished lodgings, and never goes into society. He ia fairly well off but uot wealthy. He lias been lift *en years in exile, but hits never for a moment lost faith in the ultimate triumph of his crusade. The thing said against him is that he constantly smokes cigarettes. Rev. William Gunter, an English clergyman, who lately ap- eared in a bankruptcy court with liabi ities amounting to over $8,500, admitted that his failure to live clear of oebt on a stipend of $l.O. 5 a year was owing to his attempting to keep a victoria, a greenhouse, a wife and nine children on that sum. As he promised to set aside £lo*9 a year for his creditors, the chil dren will probably have to go. Mrs. John A. Logan has become distinctly a literary woman, and each day finds her in the editorial chair presiding over her Home Maga zine. The cares of editorial work have certainly not left their traces on Mrs. Logan's face. She retains her perfect health and seems contented in her now work. Her hair is now %now white, wiiich she wears combed high. Her eyes are as expressive as ever, while her manners retain the same charm as of old. Every day Mrs. Carter drives through the park in a victoria and returns to her apart ments at Madison square ami Twenty-fifth street without haring been recognized by any but a few personal friends, says the New York Sun. She has improved in appearance since her divorce suit was granted, ami she has been studying with a well-known stage manager thoroughly for seven months. It is understood that the reason Mr. Gilmore refused to manage Mrs. farter was because she did not display auy tangible indications of ability. After months of study her instructor was not able to decide whether she would succeed better in comedy or tragedy, and there practically seemed to be no line of plays in which 6ne could appear to ad vantage. She is a blonde, with regular features and a manner of languid composure. When Senator Ingalls comes to New York, says the Nevt Bork Sun, he is a marked man. The papers have made bis face familiar to the public, hut lie is not always recognized until he takes off his hat. Then the unusual and bulky formation of his head'attracts attention, and the parting ot the hair stamps the Senator at once. He is amiability itself as a rule, when on a visit here, and when he stops to talk in the corridors of the hotel there is usually an inter ested group of listeners about, taking ia the verbal display of fireworks of which the Kansas senator is such a proficient master.

At a joint meeting of bankers, lawyers, and newspaper men last evening, ev Congressman W. ii. lull told the following story: Horizontal Bill Morrison, who was strongly in favor of Douglas for President in 1860. in his stumping campaign of Illinois advised the young girls to get their lovers to vote for the little giant, and he illustrate 1 his point by tell mg them how an Illinois girl had married a young chap who was a great Lincoln man. and before the marriage she had bceu unable to proselyte him. They were married, and went to Chicago on their wedding trip. They had re tired to their room, and the young husband went down to "take a smoke.” About 10:80 o’clock he retired to his room, but found the door locked. "Who is there?" said the young wife inside. "Your husband, dear." was the reply. “What's your politics?” she said. ‘‘l am a Lincoln man, and don’t you for get it." "Well, no Lincoln man can come in here” The young man retired, wont down stairs and took another smoke, and liuger and until about 1! o'clock. GoiDg again to the room, he knocked. ”?Vho is there?” asked th" wife. In a very stern aid defiant tone he said: “Open that door; I'm your husband.” "I tell you.” said the wife from the inside, “that no Lincoln man can get in this room." Provoked ami mad, the young man went down stairs again. About 10 o'clock in the morning he ascended the stairs once more and knocked—this time very timidly. "1\ ho's there?” came in a different tone from the young wife. The reply was given in a lowered and muffled voice: "Let. me in; I’m John, 3'our husband, and a ieetie the best Douglass man in the state of lllinoy.” And the door opened as if by the touch of electricity. The Fat Woman. From the Arm York World. It sectus that the seats in some of the street cars are not made especially for the conveni ence and comfort of persons of a certain build. This was ciearlv proved yesterday in a Brook lyn car. Tile passenger was a woman abnor mally short and stout. She was so stout that she made, three rushes before she got through the door. Once seated, the depression and backward tilt in the scat combined in an at tempt to anchor her there forever. The fat woman rode along serenely enough until she found she had reached her destination, and then began a struggle which excited the liveliest interest. The fat woman’s feet did not reach to the floor by four inches, and she was, in a measure, at the mercy of adverse circum stances. She signified the car so stop, aud then began to rock forward so as to transfer the center of gravity to a point that would enable her to 3ilde her feet to the floor. But the scheme wouldn't work. She would rook forward, but in the rebound she would settle down firmer than ever in the low-cut sear, aud against the side of the car. A number of parcels she was carrying inter fered somewhat with her movements, and, as her struggles grew more furious, one by one the parcels flew out of her bauds aud across the car. The expression on her face did not invite as sistance from any one. and all were slow to offer any. hoping that every rock wonld land her on her feet and she would herself be master of the situation. The car had stopped, and the conductor was standing with his hand on the bell cord. The fat woman was still plunging aud diving, but there appeared to be an unseen force that dragged her back with constantly increasing violence. "Do t rat the pesky seat!” she exclaimed at last, plunging harder than ever. Tee whole car was rocking from the violence of her exertions, and three or four street gamios looked through the windowsto see what the matter was. “Git on to de fat gal wid de fit!" exclaimed one of the boys. Two or three of us sprang to the woman's as sistance, while others gathered up her pack ages, and so we helped her out of the car. “I don’t wish nobody no harm,” she said, as a couple of us handed her to the street, “but if 1 did it would be that they get so fat and foolish that they can't walk anil datsent git down in a street car.” Jones Remained Away. From the Washington Post . His name is not Jones, but Jones will do. He is a citizen of the world with headquarters in New York. For fifty years he has lived upon the bounty of other people, and lived well n-arly all the time. He is clever in many ways anil irrepressible at all times—can say bright things, write verses, sing songs, tell stories, and invite himself to spend a week or month at your home on the Hudson or at Lord Anybody’s castle. He has been presented to nearly all the potentates of the world, and has squeezed him self in at the tallies of more noblemen than any nobleman living. Ke Simply invites himself and goes and makes himself as much at homeasany body there. He never was insulted in his life He has been snubbed, and ordered out, and called all sorts of things, but nothing insults him. He t akes everything good-naturedly and comes again. If he meets a society lady once lie does not hesitate to go at any time after that to her dinners or to bundle off with his trunk to her house aud stay a week without a hint of any invitation. This seems like an over drawn picture, but if we should name the man. 1,000,000 persons in this worid would say they knew it was a feeble portrait of Jones. Jones was an acquaintance of the elder Sothern. as be was and is of all the leadin'' actors, and when the sou, E. H. Sothern. had made his hit in "The Highest Bidder,” Jones was soon upon the ground. He invited himself to dinner with Mr. Sothern. said clever things, and helped the young man to spend his money. When Mr. Sothern had returned to New' York after a successful season of travel, he had not as much money as it was generaliv supposed he had. for he had had to pav some‘debts, but the demands of his position in the profession made it necessary that he take "apartments” in a fashionable quarter of the city, so he and another young man took one room in a swell flat and kept up appearances with small ex penditures. That the real manner in which they were living might not be known to indis creet persons, they instructed the door-boy of the building always to obtain a caller's card be fore saying whether they were in; and Jlr. Sothern especially instructed the boy not to admit old Jones. The boy was iaithful to his charge, and though Jones called nearly every day. Sothern was always “out.” One day a New York newspaper said: "Young Sothern has fitted up a handsome flat in the Cumberland commensurate with the ample income he is now enjoying from his star ring venture.” This reassured Jones. He wanted to help spend that “ample income.” He called again and again, but always in vain. Finally he pasted the clipping from the newspaper upon a sheet and wrote beneath it: “Your stupid mao, each time I call, denies me The boon of meeting you, in artful ways. Wnen I would fain, as these few lines upprise me. Bask in the sunshine of your prosperous days. I’d gladly contribute my songs and jestings. As oft I did beside your father’s board, And aid you to enjoy your new investings— Yet still I’m thus Incontinently floored." Mr. Sothern. in a fit of despair, resolved that the way to rid himself of this bore was to con fess the truth, so he wrote in reply: “How man of mine could give you that impres sion. When I’ve no servant, is not clear; And with no festive board, without digression, You would not care to sing and jest. I fear. The paragraph, dear sir, is purely fiction. The ample Income coinage of your brain. Pardon, dear sir, so flat a contradiction— The flat, believe me, is a flat in Spain.” This plan worked well. Jones did not call again. He has little use for men who have not ample incomes. But Mr. Sothern is now mak ing more money, and probably when tin's sea son closes he will really have enough to attract Jones back to him: and wo can a-sure him that the publication of this circumstance, while it may enlighten Jones, will not deter him from coming back.

Dr. Luciex Howe says blindness has in creased in the state of New York during the past five years thirteen times as fast as the pcpu.ation; and the state charities commis sioners stats that the excess in the increase of the insane in the state over the increase in its population for the last nine years has been more than 44 per cent. These figures are nio-t startling, especially when it is considered tnat the modes of treating the eyes and brain are supposed to have been so much imDroved of late years. \ ibgihia is thus far the only known state which boasts of hen dentists. Some time since the Page County Courier published an account of a hen there angrily flying at a fanner and pulling out one of bis teeth. George E. Heatb, who lives in Hanover county, states that on Saturday morning ho went to his hennery and attempted to taxs a heu off iier roost, when she flew at h.s face,Specked him in his mouth, and took out a tooth which had been troubling Mr. Heath for some time, and which he intended having extracted. This is the second hen dentist in Virginia. J. S. Marly is a new comer at Flint, Mich., and the following story is told of him: A year ago Maul}-, then a resident of St. Louis, was dying of consumption. One day the family dog, a valuable greyhound, made his way to the sick man’s bed and licked his face and hands. Manly was too weak to drive him off, and it's mighty lucky that he was, for, contrary to the predictions of the doctors, Manly began to improve. The poor dog, however, had ab sorbs i tile disease, and the animal is now in the last stages of consumption, while Manly is as well and strong as he was in early manhood. Photographs of tue dog b -fore and after tak -1 ig the consumption would add to the vividness of tins story: but Manly vouches for it word for word. Marriage akd geography have no very obvi ous connection; but the ingenuous maidens of Paris are complaining that they cannot get married by reason of geographical difficulties. When the Opera Comique, which was burned down down some time ago, was in the Rue Favart. it was a favorite marriage market. Mammas with blooming daughters were wont to arrange meetings with eligible gentlemen during the entr’actes, aud many were the matches that were thus arranged. The tem porary Opera Comique is in the inaccessible Place du Cliateiet, aud potential sons-in-law utterly decline to go to such an outlandish plance. Hence there is an agitation for the re building of the theater in the mors fashion able Place Boieldieu. An interesting story is told of the manner in vvnieh the celebrated Russian physician. Dr. Botkin, who has just died in the South of Franca, lost the intimate friendship of the late czar, which he had possessed for nr my years. It appears that through a serious illness of the present emperor, Dr. Botkin remain'd day and night at the patient’s bedside. Alexander 11. asked the doctor to choose something with which he might recompense him. Dr. Botkiu replied, “Your majesty. I do not want any thine, but I beseech you to have mercy on Tchernich evsk.v” (the socialist author who died a few weeks ago. and who had been banished to Siberia). The czar turned away without saying a word, but next day l>r. Botkin received the St. VladimT order and 100,ODrubles, TcOernich evsky remaining where he was. A FEW WEEKS ago T. W. Martin of Elizabeth, I J a., lost a plain gold ring which he valued highly, and for which he made most diligent search. Some notices were posted, and a sharp lookout was kept for the ring wherever it was thought likely to be found. But it was not found until this week, aud then it was in a most unexpected place. One of bis h oses became lame, aud in examining its foot Mr. Martin was surprised and pleased to find his lost ring srmglv fitted around one of calks of the horse’s shoe, where apparently it had been wearing it for some time. It was worked off with a little difficulty, and was not much the worse for ivs unusual experience. Mr. Marriu supposes that the ring dropped from his finger in the stable, and that the horse set ii s foot down on it so as to drive it firmly on in the maimer iound. One thing which harasses Americans in Eng land perhaps more than anything else is that they have so frequently to pay for something which should be supplied free, and supplied freely. The performance at the theaters is a famiiiar illustration. The latest story of re turning travelers, however, has to do with the lights in the underground railroad cars. The passenger can turn one on and read his paper if ha puts a penny in the slot. If he grudges the penny he cannot have the illumination. The light is arranged in a deep box just back of the passenger’s head. It is an electric light and will only illuminate the paper or book immedi ately in front of it, au i will only illuminat > it for fifteen minutes. At tha end of that time, if a second penny do >s not co ue in, thefiight goes out. In this way the radiance remains fixed, although obviously the passenger’s pockets grow lighter nil the time. The mechanism at tached to the light is, of course, very- ingenious, but the whole affair suggests thankfulness to travelers on the elevated railroad. A New York daily journal gives the follow ing singular accidents, among others, said to be taken at random from recent records of some accident insurance companies: James Moran, a Cincinnati drug clerk, wound up a big auto matic advertising device in front of the shop. An immense steel spring stored the motive power. Something broke. There was a pro digious whirring and then th- whole machine rtew into a thousand pieces. Mr. Moran lost a few fingers. -A piece of fat pork caught fire in an oven and blazed out into the room. A small boy threw on water, and the hot grease was scattered over him burning him badly. He bolted for the door, and fell over his little brother, who was knocked senseless. The father, hastening to the scene, fell down stairs and was rendered un conscious. The fire went out.—A commercial traveler in Omaha was walking from the rail road station to his hotel in a gale of wind. As he turned the corner an English sparrow struck him in the face. Its bill pierced his eyeball and ruined his sight —A New York broker's clerk lay in bed very late one Sunday morning and the ceiling fell on him.—The Travelers' Company paid an ex-governor of Ohio SliO for the loss of a toe-nail. “It’s a curious thing," says a New York po liceman, “that big dogs always go with small people, and small dogs are invariably attached to men and women of unusual stature. We have a regular procession of dogs in£the park here, particularly on Sunday mornings, and as they are brought in on strings it is easy to iden tify master and beast. I have been observing men and dogs more or less carefully for ten years, and when I see a man I can pretty well tell the sort of a dog that belongs to him. Once in a while I am thrown, as I was last Sunday when a small, delicate and melancholy man came drooping along by the wall, tugging away at a big chain which he had in his hand He loosed like a clergyman, and I made up my mind that he had a very small Skye terri-r ora mongrel rat terrier with a blue ribbon around its neck. The wall is high enough to see a mau’s head and shoulders, you know but you can’t see the dogs over it. When the ministerial looking man hove in sight he proved to have three or the most horrible-looking bulldogs J had ever seen in my life They were leashed to a cross stick which was at tached to a chain, and they nearly pulled the man off Ins feet. Every once in a while he clubbed the dogs with his walking-stick, but they took their|punishment like children drink ing milk. They were ail fighting dogs, for they were scarred, bruised aid battered, with torn ears, aud one of them had a broken leg. About a dozen toughs followed at a distance of titty feet, looking worshipful!}- at the brutes. Very often an exceedingly small man. with a very tall hat, will wander in here, clinging to the col lar of a mastiff, who literally drags his owner all oyer the place. The big dogs are merely a fashion. Nouody has any use for them, for it is not sate to allow them to run at large at any time, no matter how well they are muzzled. Most of them are of such gigantic size that they knock children down very frequently, and sometimes cause serious accidents without be ing a: all vicious or ugly. They are simply playing, but their strength is so great that they are a menace to public safety.” Ths celebrated Dr Letts of Queen's College, Belfast, Ireland, says: "Grattan’s Ginger Ale is of splendid quality and may be considered first class.” Lippman Bros, and M.
