The publication of anew story by Miss Dora Russell, the celebrated English novel writer, will be begun in the Mohnino News next Sunday and ia the Weekly News on Jon. 31. The story is entitled “A Fatal Past.” Miss Russell is an author of excep tional powers and remarkable success. Her stories are everywhere received with satis faction aud delight. They are wholesome, readable aud reliable. They possess a fresh ness of incident, a fund of humor, striking goenes and homely surroundings, always combined with an effective plot and a de lightful love story, which are rarely found to happily blended. Her forthcoming story, “A Fatal Past,” will undoubtedly prove one of her most successful works. A brief outline of the story is as follows: A young officer—without friends, as he supposes—receives a mysterious package, which, on beiug opened, is found to contain £5OO, and an intimation in a lady’s hand writing that he will be the recipient of a similar amount yearly. The gift is welcome, but who is the donor? The second chapter reveals somewhat the source of the gift, but leave the motive as luscrutable as before. The officer and his friend join a shooting party in the north, where they are the guests of Lord and Lady Ennismore. In the locality are lady friends of the hostess, about one of whom—Miss Helen Drum mond—a romantic and tragic history is re vealed. Just "for the sake of harmony” will take the New York senatorship. Very consid erate of the governor. Virginia sems to be coming in for a win ter of unprecedented severity accompanied by a phenomenally heavy snowfall. In his lengthy message to the Wisconsin ’legislature it Is said that Gov. George Washington Feck did not crack a single joke. He has got into serious trouble ut last. With nothing but powder and soldiers to face the Indiaus were obdurate and de fiant. But when assailed by the smiles of Boston schoolmarms they incontinently sur rendered. Cincinnati is rather a giddy town anil has many demoralizing shows and other vices, but she draws the tine at hypnotism, aud the council refused to allow a professional paralyzer to exhibit there. Very sensible course. Germany is beginning to discover that protection does not protect. So she is mani festing a strong inclination to modify her high tariff laws. Tariff seems to have been one ot the chief differences between Bis marck and the young emperor. Experience clearly shows that exorbitant duties con stitute a disastrous theory. They eventually “down” every politician who dallies with them. The voters of the city to-day can elect a very strong city council if they will. There is good material from which to make a choice. There is no reason why a voter should vote the entire ticket which is led by the candidate of his choice for mayor. It is important, of course, that the city should have a good mayor, but it is far more im portant that it should have a council com posed of men who are competent to take care of the city’s interests and who will attend to their duties if elected. Both tickets will stand scratching. Commercial Union With Canada. In the January cumber of th<* Sorth | American Review Erastus Wiman makes a j strong argument for commercial union with Canada. He declares that annexation is not to be th -ugtit of at pre-ent because there j is no sentiment in Canada in favor of it. j The Ca-.adia s are loyal to The government i of England because that government bes ! dealt with them liberally and fairly aud has acceded, and continues to accede, to all their nos mabie demand*. In his opinion no party in Canada that favored annexa tion to the United States would stand a ghost of a chance of getting into piwer. The two parties In Canada are the tory and liberal, and they hold diametrically opposite view** with reepeet to the freedom of trade with this country. The tory party wants the trade barriers which at prese t exist maintained, and the liberal party wants them removed. In the platform of the liberal party there is a plank which favors the same freedom of trade between the United States and Canada as there is tietweeu the different states of the union or between the different provinces of Canada Eighteen months hence there will be an election in Canada for members of parlia ment, and one of tne issues of the cam paign that will precede It will be freedom, of trade with the United State-. Mr. Wlmin thinks that c ngress could cou ribute greatly to the success of the liberal party by adopting a resolution offering Canada the same kind of reciprocity in trade which is offered in the McKinley bill to the coun tries to the south of us. if the liberals felt assured that advances in behalf of recip rocal trade would meet* with favor from the government of the United States it would be encouraged to make greater efforts for success in the next parliamentary election. And why should not the United States extend this encouragement to the Canadian liberal-d In Mr. Wiman’i opinion recipro cal trade with Canada would be worth a great deal more to this country than recipro cal trade with Central and South America Tho trade of those countries is now largely in the control of European countries, and is likely to remain there for many years. Free trade with Canada would be pro ductive of immediate and large results, which would be highly beneficial to both countries. All along the thousands of miles of the boundary lino trade would be brisk. This oountry would find a large and growing market for Its manufactured articles in Canada, and Canada would find a market for its surplus products in this country. And another advantage would flow from a reciprocal agreement. The disputes grow ing out of the Atlantic coast fisheries and the Pacific coast sealeries would be quickly and peaceably settled. Such an advantage is well worth serious c nsideration. Mr. Wiman says that it has been asserted that Canada would not, under any circum stances, accord this country privileges which are not enjoyed by the mother coun try, and that she would have to do under a reciprocal agreement. He is of the opinion, however, that she would not hesitate to take a step that would contribute greatly to her growth aud prosperity, even though England suffered in consequence of of it. While she would cot sever the tie which binds her to England she would willingly do whatever she thought would •aid her material development aud promote her welfare, Mr. Wiman is a most en thusiastic advocate of commercial union and he presents his views in liehalf of it with clearness and foroe. The City Election. The result of the city election to-day may be fruitful of surprises. The registration ia so small that no one can prediot with auy degree of certainty what the ballot-boxes will show. And tho great majority of those who are registered are golug to vote as they think. They cannot be bought or persuaded. ’ The campaign was a surprise. It was remarkably short. Indeed, very few people thought there was going to be one of any oonsequence throe days before the election. It was opened so suddenly and aggressively that it took away the breath of many of the ward politicians. And there will be some lively hustiing to-day—hustling for votes. How many there are who regret they didn’t register! They wll lknow better than to be caught napping next time. A word of advice to voters. Vote for the best men—the men you think will servo the city faithfully and conscientiously. Don’t vote against your judgment because some body wants you to help defeat a particular candidate or candidates. Keep steadily in mind that your duty is to do the best you can for tho city. Don’t let the sohemes of politicians influence you. And may the best men win. During the year ending June 30. 1890, 5.560 new po*toffioe3 were established iu the United States. Of that whole number 2,628, or nearly half were in the south. That argues development. There were seventeon “presidential”postGffices discontinued and uring the year on account of-decreased business, only two of which were in the south. That argues superior staying power in southern development. Kansas lost eight of these offices, Connecticut four, Nebraska one, Dakota one, Miunesota one. As the south contains much less than half the popula tion of the country, the figures are signifi cant of abnormally rapid growth. Berlin has rather a summary way of deal ing with disturbers of the public serenity. Under direction of the court a walking delegate who demanded an increase of wages for workmen under threats of an ensuing strike in case of refusal was sen tenced to six mouths’ imprisonment for trying to extort money. That is putting an entirely new face upon the strike problem that has so long perplexed American em ployers. Adjt. Gen. Bonham, who is charged with a defalcation amounting to $5,000 of the South Carolina military fund, is a son of ex-Gov. Bonham. Such an act ou his part greatly astonishes his friends, especially when the trivial amount for which he baa compromised himself is con sidered. Possibly his former high standing may account for Gov. Tillman’s prompt readiness to give out the information to the pross. Though characteristically a bold and fearless fighter, Geu. Gordon appears as coy as a Quaker maiden about hia promised wedding with the farmers’ alliance. Still the expectaut farmers “hope, ou hope ever,” and grow not dismayed. When we are told that Miss Zoe Guyton, who is walking across the continent, is an actress, her performance becomes much less remarkable. Propab’y she got her pedestrian experience out with barn-slorming com panies. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1891. The Evils of Immigration. Although immigration is not increasing, the class of immigrants is not as good us it was a dozen or more years ago. The num ber of immigrants who seek homesteads upon unoccupied lands in the west and south it steadily decreasing, a id the num ber who remain in the cities, crowding tgetter in squalid quarters and helping to fill the asylums, prisons and almshouses, is steadily increasing. The time has arrived when we can afford to select our immigrant!, admitting iatothe country those who are desirable, and shut ting out those who are not desirable. There are, of course, plenty of good lands that are not occupied, but the government has no land to giTe away that is worth having. The population of the country is now 63,000,- 000, and its natui al increase is large. If immigration should cease almost wholly it would not be so very many years before all the really good land would be occupied. There is no demand for immigrants in the cities. The cities have now about all they can take care of to advantage. It would not, of course, hr advisable to shut out all immigration, but it would seem to be wi.-e to restrict it. Thousands come to our shores every year who are no benefit whatever to the country. Many are little, If any, better than paupers, end they have no ambition to improve their condi tion. They do not know anything about the institutions of the country and they make no effort to become acquainted with them. They do not even learn the English language, and they are not arrayed on the side of law and order. A great many immigrants of this kind have been brought into the country by rath* road contractors and c >&1 and iron mint owners. Whentiey have worked awhile in mines or on railroads they drift back to the cities, where they remain, getting a precarious living in ways that are not al wayi reputable. They never become well to-do farmers, mechanics and business men, and they are never of any real benefit to the oountry. The number of immigrants to this coun try from Europe in 1889 was 430,000. In 1883 the number was 603,000. These figures indicate a decrease in immigration, aud afford an argument for those who are op posed to any immigration restrictions. Perhaps there would bo no sentiment in favor of restriction if the groat majority of the immigrants were of the better class— immigrants who were home seekers and would eventually become good and pros perous citizens. The undesirableness of many of the immigrants, however, is what causes the demand for restrictions. Tee Lodge bill restricting immigration, which is now pending in the House, may not be just what is needed, but something on the line of it is wanted It may be a little radical a little too severe for the evil it is intended to remedy—but it can be ma le the basis of such legislation os pnblic senti ment now demands. A Wicked Bcheme. Those who aro engaged in robbing the blacks in different parts of the country by selling them tickets from Savannah to Africa, and promising them money and laud when they reach Africa, ought to be arrested and punished severely. No doubt they have collected many thousands of dol lars. It is certain that they have got a good many of the black people into trouble. It is said that between 2,000 and 3,000 of them have arrived in Atlauta, expecting to find these arrangements made for their transportation to this city, where they think ships are ready to take them to Africa. It would seem to bo the duty of the gov ernment to hunt up the robbers. They are reported to have their headquarters in Washington. The republican government, however, is not likely to bother itself about the blacks unless by so doing it can see a chanoe to gain a partisan advantage. The good Senators Hoar and Spooner and the President are too busy with the force bill to interest themselves in protecting the blacks from swindlers. They sesm to be willing that the swindlers shall get the dol lars of the blaoks provided they can suc ceed in getting the votes of the blacks. They are about as heartless and selfish as the swindlers. The simple-minded blacks are beset on all sides by alleged friends. The time will come perhaps when they will be wise enough to see that the only true friends they have are the white people of the south. Instead of February the third party has decided to be born in March—about the tenth day thereof. But it sticks to Cincin nati as its natal place. A* March is a very stormy month, it may be expected tc typify the prospective career of the party. It is to be called the Citizens’ National ludustrial Alliance. Only that and nothing more. There is something in that name. Fearing that it may not make a name for itself, the leaders have all got together aid chipped in to make a good substantial name for it. Think of a fervid orator like Patriot Hill shouting: “I am a Citizens’ National”—eta, etc., etc., ad libitum, ad infinitum, ad nauaeum. Add anything else that the sub ject seems to Inspire if you think it will relieve your peut-up emotions. Such a party’s call would have to be very long just to prouounoe its own namo. Canvassers would demand double pay on the plea of extra heavy work. Why, their load of documents would be as heavy as the samples of a drummer for a grindstone factory. Nevertheless the vote will probably be short enough. Statements to the effect that Senator Quay will seek a vindication of his charac ter by resigning his seat and asking a re election sound rather improbable. With his long record of never giving up an office the wily dictator is not likely to begin now to break through bis established practice, even to make political capital. Africa now has an UDrising. Look out for a brunette ghost danoe. Cuffle is a great imitator, and he can "fling a foot" when he gets his "spent*” up by pouring “sperits” down. Just a little bitters “make a nigger mighty happy.” Positively no scalping in the proceedings. Keep your eye on dem aboriginal "coons.” Truly marriage seems to be an unanimous failure in Tennessee, if Chattanooga is a fair specimen. Last week 104 divorce cases were tried there, of whioh thirty-two were con tinued. forty-nine dismissed and twenty three granted. Society must be in rather a demoralized condition in Chattanooga. Pennsylvania intends to squander “$50,- OCO to pay the expenses of a creditable exhi bition of the state's resources at the Colum bian exposition” in Chicago. Texas will spend (1,000,903. Yat Pennsylvania claims st least a thousand times more patriotism and loyalty than Texas. PEBIONAu Gen. Booth will make a tour of the continent l in Fcbiuary to fur her the sc eme set forth in [ his book, “In Darkest England." \ Gen. Butler rises to the occasion and says | that oe never yet knew a periectly fire-proof j thenterthat wouldn't burn down quicker than ;a wooden shanty. Rev. Green Clsy Smith, Kentucky's noted soldier, politician Bad preacher, baa left his home in Mount Sterling for Washington, where he will take charge of a Baptist church.

The portrait that is to adorn the $2 treasury note which the treasury department is about to issue is that of Gen. C. B. McPherson, who was killed at Atlanta shortly before Sherman began his march to the sea. Richard Harding Ditis is soon to be as sociated with George William Curtis In the ed itorship of Han er's Weekly. He is the son of L i ,'larke Davis and Mrs. Rebeoca Harding Davis of Pniiadelpjia. and only 26 years of age. Jere Simpson, the sockless statesman, has taken to wearing glasses, because be thinks the gold frames make him look distinguished. Tui recalls the story of the boy who wore gives, a hrvastDin and patcaes on the knees of his trousers. Tar title which C ipt.

Miss Gertrud* Bloede. a poet of high gifts, Letter known in literary circles as “Stuart Sterne," has resided in Brook yn since 1881, when she came to thia country from Germany w.tti her father and mother, who were refugees of the revolution of 1818. Julian Hawthorne, says that ia mid-winter he frequently selects a sheltered spot on the s*-a coast, where the B ea falls, takes a quick dip and rubs himself dry while the water freezes in flakes on hia skin. “But,” he adds, "I would not advise this for everybody." President Charles K. Adams, of Cornell university, has just returned from Europe, and aays. after a month's study of the Oxford and Cambri ige universities, that they are not as well adapted to the needs of England as our colleges are to toe needs of America. Edwin 8. Stuart, republican candidate for mayor of Philadelphia, is a native of that city, an 138 years of age. He has been an active party man for ti e last ten years, was a Blaine elector in iBBt, and a delegate to the Chicago c nvention of 1888. Mr. Stuart is engaged in the book business. Campanini baa the spirits of a boy since hla voice has been restored to him by a surgical operation. He hums to himself a3 he wanders around the streets, and tho look of dismal melancholy wnich settled upon him after his misfortunes began to accumulate has given way to a broad aud jierpetual sinile. Brigham Young did not posiess the fabulous wealth that was oreJited to him.

Sold only in boxes.—Ad, What She Don’t Know A woman doe# not appear to as good a 'vant age in an express office aa she doea in a millinery establishment, says the Chicago .Vein, her manner in the former place being marked by a species of nervous uncertainty. She first inquires what office it is. She has read the name on the window, but likes to be still further assured. Then she informs the Oierk that she has a partial to seal, and makes minute inquiries regarding the time of its de part jre an i arrival at destination. Then she gazes steadfastly at the treasure, asks if the address Should be written on both ends as well a. en the sides, if there is any dan gar or Its being rubbed off in transit, if the string is strong enoturh. and, finally, pta-es it into the dark's scoping, with tne aim mition to handle it carefuH \ Then she heaves a sigh and departs without the receipt All this I noted on Tuesday last, as I awaited my turn to send a pack age. "I want to send this to Minneapolis," said a pretty girl of Id, as she laid down a box about two feet long. "All right," answered the clerk. “But there's no name oa it," she smilingly observed. “Do you want me to write it for you?" “I don t know. Yes. I guess I’ll let you. Mr.—No. Mrs Blank." The clerk wrote, and then increased her em barrassment by inquiring: “How is it that young ladies of your age always say Mr. when you mean Mrs.” Tnis was unanswerable. She withdrew, suf fused witn blus es. whiiean argresa ve fema e took her place. She carried a bundle that was an irregular mass of brown paper, snowing as many knob-like elevations as a cobblestone pavement, and covered w th a network of black linen t read. In one place the thread was gathered luto a snarl and mixed wit i a bunch of dark brown hair. The a lilress was written on every available space, and as the owner laid the precious bur den down she observed: “Now, I don’t know whether to send it or not. I'm almost afraid it won t get there by Christ mas." "Where do you want to send it?” "Flint Mich." “It will get there on time.” “Are you sending things'promptly?” “Y’es, madam.” “You are: Well, dt may get there, but I don’t know." “There are others waiting, madam.” “Well, what if there is? I guess my money is as good as theirs. I’m not going to let this go out of my hands till I know all about it young man. When will it leave?" “Inside of fifteen minutes.” “Oh: then, I’ll risk It. I guess it’ll get there In time.” As I stopped up the clerk smiled. “That’s the way to fix her,’’ he said. “Tue parcel won’t leave here for four hours, but if I told ner that she would stand there and talk for an hour longer.” Bobbed a Rich Californian. During the month of September, 1889, I was employed on a confidential case in St. Paul, Minn., said Dectectlye Alnge of the New York, Ontario and Western railway service to a Utica Herald reporter, and was one day standing in the union depot watching for a suspected party, when a train came in well fined with passen gers. Among those who alighted was a wealthy gen tleman from the Pacific coast Just as he stepped on the platform a handsome young woman, apparently about 20 years of age, rushed int his arms saying: “O, papa, papa, I’m so glad you’ve come.’ and with "that she began to shower the bewildered Californian with kisses. Theu she gave a short, frightened scream, rushed through the crowd, entered a back and was driven away. We all supposed it was a case of mistaken Identity. The Calnornlan en joyed the mistake. He came to me and the railway officer, who were talking about some business, an:l said it was a good joke, and he guessed w > had better take something on the strength of it, as the kisses were worth considerable. We proceeded to tue hotel, and lie took his smile, while the officer and I took a cigar. When the westerner came to pay for the wine and ei ars he discovered that his pocketbook and S2OO were gone. Further search developed the fact that his fine gold watch and diamond shirt stud were also missing. The Californian could not im. agine where or when ihe things ha l been tafc n. I examined his shirt front and discovered teeth marks where the diamond stud had been. There was no doubt that the handsome girl who gave him such an affectionate embrace had done the work. The Cali ornian was mad, and cal led the policeman a dolt. After telling him that I wasja detective, he asked me to take charge of the case and fiud the gn 1 and he would pay me for services and all expenses. After placing my special agent on the case I was then encaged with I pro ceeded to Minneapolis, where I located the wo man at one of the hotels. She had registered from Milwaukee. When I arrested her she told me her history. She had been a member o{ a wealth ramily in Colorado. I told her that if she would return the money, watch and diamond stud the Cali fornian would likely not prosecute her. I wired him and he answered the telegram in person. Tue woman gave him ail the plunder, and then told him her story of misfortune. He was much impressed by the recital, and I saw mm with her at the theatre about a week afterward.” He Was Too Honest. A Detroit life insurance agent recently re ceived a letter from a man in the interior of the state who said he was thinking of taking out a policy, and he asked that a blank be forwarded him, says the free Pres. It was returned yes terday, and the following is a specimen of the man’s honesty: “What aid yonr father die of?” "Consumption. ’’ “Your mother?” “The same.” “Ever have heart trouble?” "Yes, very bad.” “Lost any brothers or sisters by death, and if so, what did they die of?” "Lost five of Wiem, and all died of consump tion and heart disease.” _ “Do you ever spit blood?” "Heaps of times.” “Ever had any serious accident?” “Yes. Had nearly all my bones broken two or three times.” “Memory good?” “No." “Sleep well?” “No.” “How’s your appetite?" “Very poor ” Several other important questions were an swered after the same candid fashion, and the agent will have to write him that there is no insurance for so truthful a man. Bhe Caught the Car. She was a very masculine looking young woman, and If she had not worn a Psyche knot and skirts she might have passed for a slim waisted youth, for she wore a man’s collar, a man’s coat, a man’s four in-band tie, and dis played on her bust a longitudinal section of a man’s plaited shirt, says the Boston Advertiser. She was waiting for a car in the storm the other evening. She did not have an umbrella, and was in the shelter of a doorway. A car dashe i by and she whistled for it to stop. The driver paid no attention to her signal and she gathered up her skirts, made a dash out into the street, ran sharply for a moment, caught the hand-rail and swung on as nimbly as a college athlete. “What do you mean, sir," she exclaimed to the conductor, “by not stopping when I sig naled?” The conductor tried to explain, but she would not listen, and sat down and looked indignant for ten minntes. It takes a. mannish-looking young woman to chase a car through the rain and get aboard without stopping the car. Too Far. FYom the Clothier and Fhimwher.

Thi rsdat last was the one hundred and third birthday anniversary of M. Hancock, be lieved to be the oldest survivor of the war of 1812 in the state of Ind ana. Mr. Hancock lives on a farm near Mouon, and is a remarkably well preserved old gentleman. A pie sant feature of the anniveisary was the reunion of tue four genera-ions of the family. SiTTixa Bull’s war club is now in the posses sion of an Ohio editor. It is a vicious looking, weapon about two and a half f et long, and bear* the signs of hard service. In the eavy or 'business end of the club a short buffalo horn is firmly imbedded. The old chief gave ttie relic originally to Kiroy Poet, th- artist, who made two large paintings of the Indian's favor ite ponies. Thi latest tad among the equestriennes is to ride one day to the left side, th ; next to the right. Since Mrs. Jenness-Miller sounded a trumpet and informed women they were in danger of growing lopsided by not rid ng man fasbi n there nas been much anxiety felt over the situation of affairs. The physicians and the foreign birons who run our ri iing a ad emies have evolved this panacea for onesided ness. The Right Honorable the Earl of Rosebery is deemed a lucky man by the public at large, for, by th * proving of tue will of his late wife, it is found that he gets a sum equivalent to $3,500,000 in addition to toe fortune which re verts to the children, but which ii sc tied on him, and which at the time '4 their marriage amounted to $1.',000, 000. a sum the late l.ady Rosebery inn-rued from her father, Baron Meyer de Rothschild. Philip Seibert was married in Ohio, at the close of the war, to the girl who waited for her so dier’s return. In 1858 they were divorced, Seibert going to California and she to Wiscon sin, where she again married. Seibert also married in California. He was widowed a few years ago and started back east with his son, and by the merest accident met ms first lotb and they were again married, she having been a w idow a number of years, left with a marri ge able daughter, with whom young Siebert fell in love, and Christmas tt ey were married. The questi >n now arises as to bow the two families are relat and to each other. A strange light has been seen one-half mile south of CoatsviUe, says the St. Louis Republic. The light is seen at 9 o'clock In the evening, an 1 has attracted the attention of a large num ber of our best citizens. It is described as a rolling ball of fire, which appears to be the headlight of a railroad engine It crosses the railroad and stops In an old orchard ami grave yard, Ittraveis about three miles in its course and disappears in the ground. The light is seen to rise fifty feet high and then come to the ground. Fifty people have watched the ghostly light at one time. It does not travel in tne same place at all times. It travels on a high filain within five miles of the Caarlton river, t is creating great excitement here and peonle are coming in large numbers to see it. The scientists are imestigatinr it, but have not c ime to any definite conclusion, and the spirit ualists beiieve that it is the spirits of the dead from the old gravevard. The common people in England speak all sorts of dialectic abominations but, with the exception of perhaps one man in 10,000. they do not speak anything that bears any respectable relation to writ en English. The English drawl ing burr is quite as unintelligible and not half so musical as that brogue of the Irish which the English are so fond cf ridiculing. It is, ou the whole, nearly as easy for an American to un derstand a French porter as an English oie.and if the Frenchman pretends to speak English, he SDeaks it a hundred times better than the Lon doner does. When it come3 to proper names, names of streets, or anything which cannot be guessed from the con'ext.the average Londoner isasutte ly unintelligib e to the ear untrained to the monstrosities of his pronunciati n as if he spoke Choctaw. It is a thousand ities that the English cannot be taught to speak the American lauguago, which is a hundredfold more clear, more el gant and more consistent than the tongue spoken in England. There has just died in Bombay, Mr. Byram jee Jeajeebboy—it is a pity he had such an awk ward name—a Droker and company director, who seems to have devoted by far the larger portion of his great possessions to the servic • of the state. All his lire long he has been found ing schools and dispensaries and endowing provident fun Is. Among the latter class of oenefaettons is one that sounds strange to Euro pean ears—the Calcutta Zoroastnans’ corpse bearers' fund. His school endowments are more Occidental in character—a medical school iu Poona, £4.WO; ditto at Ahmadabad, £2,0 -0. and so on. Like Sir Sydney Waterlow here “at home," Mr. Jeej-ebhoy gave up his own estate to the corporation of his town for a public rec reation ground, and gave money besides to im prove tlie approaches to it. He also gave the government, free of charge, some land they wanted for anew road at P ona. And. finally, in his will be has left more than £30,0.0 for the education of Parsee children. Probably there is no community in the world where such in stances of public liberality are so frequent as in the Parsee community of Bombay. The Lietok of Odessa reports an interesting instanoe of conjugal felicity. A wealthy land owner of one of the suburbs of Odessa married a woman of 30 years, while he was 50. They lived peacefully to ether for a short time, but soon they began quarreling and often ex changed blows A tew weeks ago they in dulged themselves in a fight, by which tbs good lady got worsted She had an arm dislocated and was sent to the hospital, where she re mained about three weeks When she got well again she went home. Her husband meeting her at the entrance, asked with a smile: "Are you quite well my dear?" “O, dear, yes ” answered the woman. "I am so far re covered that I feel strong enough to send you to the place from whloh 1 am coming.” And before the husband had time to appreciate the full meaning of this answer he was lying bleed ing on the floor with his jaw broken. He is now In the hospital occupying the bed w hich was vacated by his wife. He flatly refuses, however, to bring action against her in the court, or even to seek a separation from her. "Such little troubles between husband and wife,” be said, speaking with one side of hie mouth, “must not be taken so seriously in practical life.” The Minneapolis (Minn.) Daily Tribune re cently illustrated its editorial page with a por trait of Philip B. Winston, a prominent demo crat, who was elected mayor of that flourishing city in November last by an ov-rwheludng ma jority. Mr. Winston is a native of Hanover county, Virginia, and when a mere boy entered the confederate army, serving with distinguish 'd gallantry on the staff of his brother-in-law, Gen Thomas L Ro ser. Impoverished by the war, which desolated his section, he went to Minne apolis aud, starting at the bottom at muscular labor, worked his way up in railroad building until he was entrusted with very lar "contracts. The T ibune concedes that to Mr. Winston “is largely due the construction and development of the railroad system throughout the north west.” In a single year the firm of which Sir. Winston is the head built 1,50’ miles of railroad. The Tribune, which is a republican pacer, de clares that Mr. Winston is a loyal citizen of Minneapolis, zealous to promote its best inter ests, and sustains such relations to other citizens of wealth and prominence v at he will, nod übt, be able to aid effectually in the inauguration of the many new trade a id manufacturing enter prises expected in 1891 and 1892. Chacncey M. Depew carries $600,000 iDsur ance on his life. When he talks about in-ur ance bis text is something like the old woman’s declaration that, “care killed the cat." Mr. Depew declares that it is a ixiety t lat kills most men. or rather which prevents t. em from liv ing out their natural "le.gtii of days.” This anxiety is mostly for the family he will leave behind h m, and when a man has a comfortable amount of insurance by wn ch his family's wel fare w 11 be made secure, his anxiety ceases and he can live on and on as long as it w ; as inten led he should live by his Creator. Although Mr. Dei ew does not have any anxi9ty to bring him down to the grave in a bnrry, be is quite partic ular in his habis of life. When he was last in England he consulted the great medical authorities to know now to attain iongviety. and he regulates his eating with due regard to their precept*. He believes in light breakfasts—a soft-boiled egg and a cup of cof fee—in a long walk in the morning, in a light lunch at midday and a hearty dinner between 6 and 7. He may go to bang uets and dinners, but, if iiis fellow guests will note bis habit at them, they will discover that he rarely eats and still more rarely drinks anything, and that he never smokes. The parting of Mr. Depew and nls cigar was not accomplished without a serious mental and physical struggle. He used to smoke fifteen to twenty cigars a day— Partagas and Rosa Perfectos. He found that his stomach was constantly refusing to perform its functions, hecouldn't sleep at night and he couldn’t w. rk without a cigar in his mouth. He tried to find relief in various ways, and finally concluding that the cigar smoking was at the bottom of his dis comfort, although it was bis greatest solace aud comfort, he deliberately quit. He had a tnree months’ struggle with the tobacco fiend, but got th best of the habit. Public men say that they have their ran facuiity increased by the use "of tobacco, and use it inordinately until it disarranges their stomach, when thev ex ureas the wish that they could stop the habit. They will find Xr. Depew's example encouraging. With a record like Simmons Liver Regu lator none should be afraid to use it for their liver.—Ad. BAKING POWDER. Grandmother is right.
