A Tennessee election in which there was “no politics” Is one of tbe oddities of con temporary news. Archibald Forbes, the famous war corre spondent, is In this country, and may be on his way to Chile. Does he scent wart The Chicago police, like necessity, appear to know no law. An unlicensed steam boiler is in operation nt police headquarters. John L. Sullivan is now indulging in one of his periodloil rhymes; but tho chances are the moon will not be full again before he is. Kansas might make a ”ten-Btrike” by ■ending Judge Hotkin and bis court, Win chesters and all, to the world’s fair as a ■tate exhibit. I Secretary Blaine has intimated that he does not think it good politics or good taste to go about declining what has not been offered to him. The Brooklyn man who stole $2,000 worth of books in order to study theology, as he explained In mitigation, was evidently mad as a March hare. There is one advantage in having all of those smooth-faced senators and representa tives—the same newspaper out can be made to serve for each. A company is alleged to be forming for the purpose of fighting the cigarette. If the corporation is successful its success will also annihilate the dude. Poet Laureate Tennyson is under necessity of writing a threnody for the Duke of Clar ence. What he can find of poetry in the prosy young man’s life is a mystery. Some California “veterans,” who proba bly never smelled powder iu all of their Jingo li vos, have petitioned tbe President to be allowed to raise a brigade to fight Chile. The powerful revival sermon of a Michi gan preacher caused a deacon to confess that he had committed murder. Tho man was taken to jail aud wlil bo irled on the charge. Col. Shepard believes in retributive jus tice, and Indicate* In his head-lines that a Colorado station agent was frozen to death because he allowed two trains to collide near his depot. Suing a dead man’s estate to recover alleged damages done while he was alive, is ■omething that never would have been thought of outside ot Maine, but such a case U in the courts there. The smart young “men” of the Harvard D. K. E. might well profit by the example of the young man in their own college who drives a bordic from 5 p. m. to 5 a. m., aud theu attends lectures. Whenever an election is held, in society, club or what not, it has oome to be regarded as a “test of streugth” of some political can didate. It is said that Depew’s election as president of the Union League Club was a Blaine victory. Holman’s Resolution. The republican papers And a good deal of satisfaction In calling the resolution intro duced byHepresentative Holman, and passed by the House, a •Vi-oent buncombe" resol i tion. Whether or not it is a buncombe resolu. tion will be known very soon. It Is only natural that the republican organs should try to break tbe effect of it by ridiculing it The last congress appropriated nearly a billion dollars, and tbe country became alarmed at such extravagance. That was a republican cougress, and it was more reckless in voting away the people’s money than any previous congress. Tbe republican organs are trying to draw attention away frim the billion-dollar congress by sneering at the efforts of the present congress to keep the appropriations within reasonable b unds. The pr* sent congress will not withhold money from meritorious public works, nor will it cut down the clerical force of the government to an extent that would cripple the public service. But there is every rea son for thinking that it will cut off ex penses that are unnecessary and insist that the government shall be administered economically. Mr. Holman has a reputation for object ing to any waste of the public money, but he does not object to expenditures, however large they may be, which are absolutely necessary, and from which beneficial re sults may reasonably be expected. For instance, it is not probable that he would object to a large appropriation for the im provement of those rivers and harbors which accommodate great commercial interests. Those who find fault with Mr. Holman, and call him a cheese-paring statesman, are the ones who are prevented by him from gotting money out of the treasury for little schemes by which they hope to increase their popularity in their respective districts. Mr. Holman has saved the people a good deal of money by objecting to bills for pub lic buildingß for which there was no need, and pension bills which had no merit. It is true that his objections have at times seemed trivial, but there was always a principle involved. He knew that if ex travagance were admitted in little things it would be countenanced in big ones. The poople do not think the less of him because be la called the great "objector." Tbe present congress, there Is every reason to believe, will be liberal enough in making appropriations for whntevor is for the pub lio good, but it will not be guilty of any such extravagance as the billion-dollar oon gress was. Look Out for Them. There is a marked desire among Ameri cans for high sounding titles. There is no difficulty in satisfying this desire. All that is necessary to do to get a title Is to join someone of the many secret societies. In a very short time, if strict attention is paid to details, any citizen of ordinary ability, not excepting tbe Irrepressible brother in black, can beoome known to fame under the title of E. G. I). B. T. (which means The Eminent Grand Double Barreled Tiddle dewiuk} or some other title equally high sounding. Even the Catholic church, which has so strongly opposed Masonry and other secret orders in which titles are conferred, has found It necessary to permit its members to become connected with societies which are to somo extent secret. The citizen who has obtained tho right to attach to his name a few high sounding initials has, in order to complete his happi ness, only to don a scarf or apron of bril liant color trimmed with gold lace, and inarch through the streets at the head or tail of a procession that Is accompanied by a brass band playing "Johnny Get Your Gun.” Taking advantage of the tendency toward secret societies, many benevolont assscia tions and mutual life insurance organiza tions have beeu established. Tens of thou sands of people have joined them and aro now paying, in installments, into their treasuries money wbioh, iu the aggregate, amounts to millions of dollars annually. A lew of these societies are honestly and cons 6cientiously conducted. Their success has made it possible to start hundreds of other similar organizations which are not quite so honestly conducted. Mon, and women too, are induced to join them by the hope of gain or by curiosity. Tho sums paid into tho treasuries of these organizations are sup posed to be invested for tbe benefit of their members, aud to be paid to them when they are 111, or to their families after their death, but, as a matter of fact, it Is used to pay salaries to graud officers who travel about the country with as much pomp and show and dignity as railroad magnates. The time eventually comes when there is no money to ooufer benefits upon those who are entitled to them. Every day or two a secret society of some sort is formed which has tho same “grip” os those after which It is patterned, viz., a grip upon the pocket books of those who are induced to become members of it. In the south ODly a beginning has been made in establishing these societies. Asa general thing the names of a few influential men are first securod and they are the bait used to fill tbe membership basket with gudgeons. If poople who are persistently pressed by agents to join these societies are wise they will Investigate closelv before parting with their money. The hope ot gutting something tor little or nothing generally proves to be a false one. It will take thirty days for a stenographer to prepuro a transcript of the case of Dr. Graves, tho Denver murderer, to be used in his appeal. On this ground he will proba> hie be reprieved. Then it will take about as long again to hear the appeal and argu ments, so that Dr. Graves will not suffer the penalty of his fiendish crime for two months, if even thou. The United States going to war with Chile would be like the big bully of the school fighting the spuuky little fellow who re fused to apologize for stepping on the big one’s sore toe when bo. uniuvited, had “mixed in” with a scrimmage between tho little one and a chap of his own weight. Maj. Jones, whose florid volubility is uni versally recognized, is pained at the uso of two superfluous words in a news dispatch. Yet the major wastes thirteen lines of val uable space in describing his pain. The possession of a coat-of-arms does not mako ama i a snob. Gov. Flower did not send a message to Sadringbam, nor did be regard it a personal calamity when the Duke of Clarence died. Boston is esthetic above all else, and the charm seems to be contagious. It is told of the Rev. Brooke Herford, of Englanl, that while in Boston he mistook a fire alarm for musical chimes and highly enjoyed it. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1892. Niaklnar a Settlement Difficult. The Chilean government pretends to want a peaceful s ttlement of Its difficulty with this country, but some hing to prevent eucb a settlement is being done ail tbe time in Chile. A few days ago some roughs in Valparaiso stoned the men in Commander Evans’ gig.showirg that the same feeling of hostility that led to the outrage upon the Baltimore's sailors still exists. In cur dis patches yesterday there was a dispatch from Commander Evans in which it was shown that the Chilean government claims the right to take Chilean refugees from neutral vessels stopping at Chilean porta. Two refugees had been delivered on board tbe cruiser Yorktown. and arrangements had been made to send them to European merchant vessels, hut this flaw had to be changed when the decision of the Chilean government had been reoeived. This decision, it seems, was arrived at because Commander Evans saluted tho Spanish minister when he brought the refugees on board the Yorktown. That the salute was a proper one there is no doubt, and tne Chilean government was guilty of discourteous conduct iu taking the course it did with respect to it. This country does not want a war with Chile. It would be costly and there would be very little glory in it, but it may become necessary to teach Chile that there are bounds beyond which she will not be per mitted to go iu showing her ill-will to this country. It is expeoted that the entire correspond ence between the Chilean government and this government will be sent to congress this week, together with such recommend ations with respect to it as the President may consider advisable to mako. It is not believed that ho will recommend an attack upon Chile, and it is not thought that con gress favors such a course. But it is prob able that congress will be influenced, to a great extent, by public sentiment after the correspondence has been read throughout the country. The war senti ment is not strong, but it would soon be come so if it became apparent that Chile insisted upon pursuing a policy that invited war. If Chile was a strong nation there would tie less patience with her than there has been, but this country cannot afford to have the Impression prevail in South America that it is afraid to insist upon an apology for an insult and reparation for an injury. Ambitlouß St. Paul. The energetio way in which St. Paul is working to get the democratic national con vention excites admiration, but the argu ments she advances do not seem to convince members of the national committee that the success of the Democratic party depends on holding the convention in the northwestern oity. It is true that the Democratic party is gaining ground In the northwest, but it is a question whether It would be strength ened by holding the convention in a north western city. The chief objection to St. Paul la the want of hotel accommodations. The republicans are beginning to think they made a mistake in deciding to hold their convention in Minneapolis. It is admitted now that the delegates and correspondents will be orowded into very close quarters. Tho hotels there have not been able to respond favorably to many of the applications for room that have been received. St. Paul says she can tako care of a big national convention, but, as she is smaller than Minneapolis, It looks very much ns if she were overrating her ability to provido anywhere near tho accommodations that would be needed. It Is remembered that St. Louis, Inrjjo as she is, did not give satisfaction when a na tional convention was last held in that city. The visitors were crowded into rooms in a most uncomfortable way. St. Paul is very ambitious, however, aud full of pluck. She may succeed In convincing the national committee that she could provide all the accommodations that would be needed and that it would be the very best policy for the party to hold its convention in the northwost. It looks, however, as if Chicago or New York would get the convention. In either of those cities the delegates aud cor respondents could find accommodations that would be entirely satisfactory. So far as the party is concerned the place where tho convention is held will not have an ap preciable effect upon its success. There seems to be very little need of clerks for individual members of congress. They aro expected to do some work them selves and were not sent there to cock their feet up on desks and dictate burning elo quence to stenographers. In the preparation of bills, sufficient clerical help is already provided, and if a member’s correspondence is voluminous, for a smalj part of the fund allowed him for stationery etc, he can pro cure the services of a letter writing stenog rapher. It is safe to assume that nine tenths of a congressman’s correspondence is of personal interest, and therefore ought to be at individual excuse. It may be true that the day is not far distant when contending armies will bo armed with fire hose, or something of the sort which will lot down a 20,000-volt cur rent of eloctricity upon the devoted heads of tho warriors. A balloon connected by wire with a power station, it is said, could take up a tank of watt r and make a ground circuit for the electricity by pouring it in streams upon the army below. Mr. Edison is said to have schemes of the kind in his head; and it will not be long before ho demonstrates the feasibility of his ideas. Mr. Richard Croker has announced through one of his newspaper organs that he is not a boss, but only an adviser in Tammany Hall. He “likes to watch geese aud pigs,” and never drinks. Mr. Croker frequently issues peremptory “advfce” to Tammany, which is accepted to tho letter, aud for this reason some people, who know no better, have come to regard him as a boss. IBs “geese aud pigs” expression is supposed to refer to the Republican party aud his own heelers. Four Illinois dudes, who live at the town of Laeomb, aro wearing oourt-plaster on their facos as a reminder that tho young womau of the period can defend herself. They made disparaging remarks about a poor but respectable working girl in the postoftice and she “went for them like a thousand of bricks" and floored the lot. Yet there are people who see no good in physical oulture for women. The reqont swell society circus at Orange, N. Y., the other day demonstrates conclu sively that there are poople in the Four Hundred who appear quite natural in the role ef a fool. Gen. Alger’s visit to Mr. Blaine only puzzled him the more to know what the secretary is ‘ ‘going to do about it." PERSONAL. W. O. Mitchell, speaker of the lowa house, raid to he the first native lowan to occupy that position. Within the ns it few months Prince George of \s ales will take his seat in the House of Lords us Duke of Kent. Disraeli used to say that a single look upon the jolly face of the mother of the Princess Mary of Teck was a cure for the blues. Gen. Francis A. Walker has boon invited to deliver the oration at the dedication of the soldiers’ memorial arch In Concord. N. H. Neal Dow is now 87 years old, and is living in a house in Portland which he built in 1328. He says be has not yet done fighting for prohi bition. Jay Gould la credited with being an omni vorous and tireless reader, and to be as well po*ted upon books and papers as he is upon stocks and dividends. Prof. Hale and Prof. McLachlln, of Cornell University, have been Induced to accept post tions in the newOhicago University, where they will be paid $7,000 a jear. Mns.

Whit tier recently. "I should ally myself with somo high, and, at present, unpopular cause, and devote my every effect to accomplishing its success." Miss Whitney, the Boston sculptor, has been chogen to execute the bust of Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe, for which tbe funds have been contributed by some of the great novelist's friends and admirers in Connecticut. Miss Kate Furbish, Maine’s botanist, has traveled thousands of miles over that state in connection with her "Flora of Maine.” She generally travels alone, carries no weapons, and says she has not in her twenty years’ ex perience,- encountered "anything to be afraid of.” Dr. Nathan E. Brill, who succeeded Judge Me Adam as president of the New York Society of Medical Jurisprudence, is a vigorous de fender of the electrocution law, even to the ex clusion of newspaper reporters. He would al low at executions, however, a limited repre sentation of the Associated Press. The late Cardinal Manning was a tall, gaunt man, with a vigorous frame and a large head that was almost completely hakl. He had a face that b re the impress of old Roman firm ness, and he looked like the picture of a great churchman of old. He was a teetotaler, unlike many of his predecessors, and ate only enough to keep body and mind in a healthy condition. There was absolutely no ostentation about him.

The Alliance In Congress. Pom the St. iMuis Globe-Democrat (Rep.). Coiur-fsnan Livingston, tbe southern fanners' affiance member, has joined Congress man Simpson ot Kansas in denouncing repub lican extravagance in taxation and expenditure. Thus far the farmers'alliance, as it is repre sented m c ngross, lias shown ability to grasp the truth that the best party in ttiis country is the one most opposed to republicanism. Gov. Flower’s Way. From the Buffalo Courier, Gov Flower is reported as saying; -‘I shall not bother the legislature as long as it does not bother me. That is the position that lam going to take—to let the legislature severely alone, and I want it to let me alone.” The governor does not appear to ta\e a desire to “run” everything in sight This is greatly to his credit. If the governor should permit the ieg islature to assume the entire responsibility or passing bills, and if he should confine himself to the r sponsibility of signing them or vetoing them, he would do a wise and politic thing. Bad Precedents for Democrats. From the Buffalo Courier ( Dem .). The republican Erwins have for years defied and nullified the constitution and violated their duty by suppressing their enumeration legisla tion. But republican wrong-doing cannot justify democratic wrong-doing. Democrats who have for two years denounced Reedisra can not justify the parliamentary highhandedness that now prevails in the state Senate No mat ter what may have been tho conduct of repub lican state senators in former years, important public measures ought not to be forced through the Senate without giving the minority a rea sonable opportunity tor debate. The Country United on One Point. From the .Yew York Tribune (Rep.). The p-’otie of this country never want war. Less than a generation ago they had enough of it to last fora longtime. Its sufferings and sacrifices. Its harrowing memories and losses, its heavy expenses and the long-continued bur dens resulting, have taught the natiou that war is not a remedy to he lightly invoked. But the people nre nevertheless determined, and rightly, to maintain the nation’s dignity and honor. If wrong or iusulc should come, even from the most powerful of all nations, Ameri cans would only hesitate long enough to allow ample opportunity for pacific adjustment and reparation Diplomacy failing, aud kindly but earnest appeal to the good sense and good feel ing of another nat on, Americans would be In stantly united as one man to defend the rights of the nation to the utmost. It is because tins characteristic of the American people is known, and is not at all misunderstood, by the princi pal nations of Europe, that it is found easy to adjust all differences with such nations in an amicable manner. For biliousness and headache Simmons Liver Regulator is the best medicine the world ever saw.— H, H. Jones, Macou. Ga, Ad. An Incident at Monte Carlo. A cablegram announces that the back at Monte Gario suspended one evening last wees before the extraordinarily successful play of an unknown American, says tne Chicago \ers. This has t apren-d cue- before. Two years ag > our admirable friend. Billy Knox, having had a viciseitudiuous experience on the Ixmdon edi tion of the New York Herald, concluded to sever his connection with journalism and make a tour of the continent. He was particularly anxious to visit the Riviera and Monte Carlo was the spot he pined to try conclusions with So he had tus sovereigns changed Into francs, and off he started, w ith numerous letters of in troduetion to folks along the line of his proposed journey. Billy spoke French very well, presumably be cause he roomed for one winter with Monsieur Millard B. Herely at Springfield At any rate, he made friends wherever he went, and at Nice it was all he could do to resist the blandish ments of Le Cotntesse de Bourbon, a wealthy widow who wanted to engage him permanently as her secretary and typewriter. The eomteise was a sister of the Count of Paris; the brother of her late husband was one Louis de Bourbon, a handsome, conviv.al. careless lad who, bank rupt in pocket, had become a dealer in the princely gambling house at Monaco. Finding that Billy Knox was bound to leave her. tbe comtesse gave him a letter to her degenerate brother in-iaw "He will give you pointers on the game, Billy.” said she, in French. So Billy started for Monaco andwhen he got there he called on Louis de Bourbn. They be came fast friends. Louis came on watch about 11 o’clock every night. He always took off his coat, necktie and collar when he sat down to deal. Every twenty minutes a nigger brought him a whisky sour. Louis was considered tfce crack dealer in those | arts. Whether he gave Billy Knox any pointers or not we do not know and therefore cannot say. But one even ing Billy had such a run that the bans had to close down. The prince of Monaco himself was dealing; being blind he had to determine the denomina tion of the cards simply bv the sense of touch. Tins required severe skill, but having been born blind the prince knew bis business. Billy kept betting on the queen and kept winning too. Two thousand—ten thousand—forty thousand— one hundred thousand francs! It kept a valet de chambre busy sweeping off the napoleons into Billy's gripsacs. Billy kept betting on the queen and kept on winning. "Wow! ’ squealed the prince every time Billy touched him for that pile. By and by the prince scratched around in his cash box to find that he hadn't a sou left. Just then—it being 11 o’clock—Louis de Bourbon came on watch. “By your majesty’s leave,” says he, doing off his blazer, "I will relieve lyou." "I have been relieved already,” answered the prince ruefully. “There Is not a bean in the drawer; we’re busted-turn off the gas and shut up the house for the night.” Of course there was much confusion and a vastamountof scandal. Billy didn’t watt to participate in it. He shouldered his gripsack and took the first train for Italy. It is esti mated that his winnings reached the equivalent of $40,000. A month later the Paris Hjumex plained that Billy had imposed on the blind prince by adroitly ringing a cold deck on him— a pack of cards composed wholly of queens. Ordinarily the imposture would i ave been de tected, but of course his blindness prevented the unfortunate prince of Monaca from seeing through the trick. Now. as we have said, it is Impossible to de termine from the evidence before us whether Louis de Bourbon was privy to tne plot. This much, however, we know, and it is significant: Billy wrote to Louis de Bourbon about a year ago and got him to come over the sea and out to Chicago to serve tho w orld’s fair enterprise as an attache of the advertising department. You may have seen Lonia around world’s fair headquarters; a tall. pale, distingue young man with eray eyes, smooth-shaven face and black hair that falls in a tumble over his white fore head. Louis dresses in a style of his own—al ways In black, with a wealth of shirt-front, a Byronlc collar, somber flowing bow and a care less slouch hat. But he is a famous raconteur, is Louis de Bourbon, and the girls admire him passionately. The Oaah Discount on Dogs. A stout old man In a gray ulster hailed a Fourth avenue car at Worth street the other day, says the New York Tribune. One hand was occupied with a rather Impetuous bulldog on |a chain and the other one waved a baggy umbrella. When the car stopped the man hauled the bulldog up to the roar platform and said to the conduct or: "Take a dorg on your car?” "No.” "Me and John William has got to get up town .’’ "Can’t help it; walkin's good.” "Let ms ride on the platform and hitch John William to the brake?’ 1 The conductor agreed to this, and John Will iam trotted placidly along the Bowery without mishap, beyond the upsetting of two newsboys. Sowehow nobody wanted to get off the car on John William’s side, and people on the crossings waiting for the car to pass kindly gave John William all the room he wanted. At Seven teenth street, however, there was a crosstown car in waiting, and the driver. Intent on the hairbreadth escape of the rear platform which a crosstown driver loves to make, reokoned with out John William, who was pattering calmly along beside the step. "Hey, hey, hold on,’’ called the old man on the platform excitedly. But it was too late; there wasn't room between the cr sstown horse and the platform of the Fourth avenue car for even the alert John William to pass, and it seemed as If the dog must be inevitably crushed. John William, however, regarded it "otherwise. He seemed to know that his only chance lay in breaking his chain. So by a quick bound to the farthest side of the crosstown horse he brought the whole strain upon tne chain across the horse's chest, and snapping his bonds like a string, ho trotted calmly up Fourth avenue after his master. “Well, now, ain’t he a dog,” ejaculated the conductor admiringly. “There ain’t his boat in NewYork.” responded his owner proudly. "Of course, there's other dogs her." and there,” ho added as a great con cession. '’but they simply ain't in it with John William. I wouldn’t take $75 cash for that dog." "Reckon he’s worth it,” said the conductor. There was another man on the platform. He looked John Wili am over critically in silence, and two blocks further ou he said: "I’ll give you $lO for your dog.” "Mean it?" asked John William’s owner anxiously. ■'Certainly.'’ "Cash; no bluff?" “Of course." “Gosh! He’s your dorg.” When I Go Home. Eugene Field m Cincinnati Enquirer. It comes to me often in silence. When the fire light splutters low— When the black, uncertain shadows Seem wraiths of the long ago; Always with a throb of heartache, That thrilled each pulsive vein Comes the old, unquiet longing For the peace of home again. I'm sick of the roar of the cities And of faces old and strange; I know where there's warmth of welcome, And my yearning fancies range Back to the dear old homestead, With an aching sense of pain; But there'll be joy in the coming. When I go home again. When Igo home again! There’s music That may never die away. And it seems the hands of angels, On a mystic harp, at play, Have touched with a yearning sadness On a beautiful, broken strain. To which is my fond heart wording— When I go home again. Outside of my darkening window Is the great world's crash and din, And slowly tho autumn's shadows Como drifting, drifting in. Sobbing, the night wind murmurs To the splash of tho autumn rain; But 1 dream of the glorious greeting When I go home again. A Fat Fee. Not long ago Morns Butler, son of John M. Butler, who had just arrived home from an evening party at 2 o’clock in the morning, heard a carriage drive up to the house, says the Indianapolis Nnrs, and a moment later answered a ring at the door-bell. A young man of handsome face and energetic manner blurted out. without ceremony: ‘ What states can cousins legally marry in?” “I don’t know,” said Mr, Butler, as soon as he could recover from the effects of his visitor s bluntness, “but I will ask father.” He went upstairs and, after much knocking, aroused his father. “Father," said he, “what states can cousins legally marry in?" “Kansas, " was the single word in response, between what sounded suspiciously like snores, Mr. Butler returned downstairs. “Well, what does he say?” asked the visitor. "Kansas," replied young Mr. Butler, lacon ically. “Thank you.” The door was closed and the young visitor was gone. Nothing further was thought ot the Incident until yesterday's mall brought Mr. Butler a certified check for s'ik) for "legal a ivice” from his hitherto unknown client. This is probably the highest rate per word ever paid for legal advice. It divides Into $lO3 per syllable, and S3B 33 per letter. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. Encounter Danger. By the use of flavoring ex tracts made from ethers, poi sonous oils, and other injuri ous drugs, in our pastry and our creams, we encounter danger. Such extracts give, it is true, some foreign flavor, but in their very nature are injurious. These evils may be avoided by purchasing and using Dr. Price’s Deli cious Flavoring Extracts of Vanilla, Lemon, etc., which are free from all hurtful sub stances, made from the fruit, containing their natural and luscious taste. You will never be disappointed in in their use. ITEMS OF INTEREST. A snake moves by means of tbe ribs and the scales on the abdomen to which each rib is at tached by a set of short muscles. Tbeae scales take hold of the surface over which the serpent may be passing, and in that manner aid the creature to glide, often very rapidly, around the trunks of trees and along the smaller branches. Some species climb trees with wonderful agility, gliding up the straight trunks with as much ease as if they were moving along the level ground. The oldest rose bush in the world is at Hln dersheim, in Hanover. It was planted more than 1,000 years ago by Charlemagne in com memoration of a visit made to him by the am bassador of the Caliph Haroun al Rachid. After it had become a flourishing vine a cathed ral was built over it. It is known, however, that a coffin-shaped vault was built around its sacred roots in tne year 818, the vault and bush surviving a tire which destroyed the cathedral in 1146. The bush is now 2t> feet high, and covers 32 feet of the wall. The stem after 1,000 years’ growth, is only two inches in diameter. The Chinese can reman in one position an In definite time, have no consciousness of monot ony, can do without exercise, are impervious to noise, can go to sleep at any time and in any attitude -all because they hava no nerves. It is not to be supposed that the nerveless ness ts a physiological fact; but it cannot be doubted that the Chinaman’s patience, endurance and insusceptibility to influences which would send a European into an early grave are constitu tional. He cannot help taking things as they come. Curiously enough, this Indifference is not associated with want of energy, for the China man is exceptionally iudustrious. He is simply insensible to worry. It seems likely that the yacht racing of the coming season in the Medeterranean will be of a more interesting character than it has been for the past two years. It will he remembered that last year the Deerhound had matters pretty well her own way, and that after the clos of the season she was purchased by an Italian nobleman. However, this year she will have to sail well to win many prizes for her new owner, as the forty -rater Castanet Is going out, a* well us Mr. Sutcliffe’s Blue Hock It is also reported that the Earl of Dunraven has de cided to fit out the ValKyrie for the Mediterra nean, and if he does so he Is pretty certain to bring back many of the prizes offered. “Joss,” so far from being, as I among others always imagined, a Chinese word, is merely the mispronunciation of the Spanish dtos, god. The discovery of this fell heavily upon me. It reduced my knowledge of Chinese from two words to one; but I have learned several since, but will not write them here, as I do not know what they mean. A. and the writer both started with the determination of studying Chinese, and the writer let A. buy a grammar; but ou discovering that the single letter “I'' had 145 ways of being pronounced, and that each pronunciation had an entirely different mean lug, we said that thf*re was no p >etry about the Chinese langua r <\ that it was not worth learn ing, and A.'s grammar was secretly consigned to the river mud by being dropped overboard. In hie lowest spheres of life the force of in ventive faculty may be detected. The burglar himself as a mechanical genius may be a rival of nature. An honest genius of an Inventive kind invents a look; straightway another in ventive genius of a dishonest kind picks that lock. A man, not a burglar, but a professed lock-picker, picked a subtle lock of a bureau because I had lost the key. Tin science the man showed, the resource, the ingenuity, formed a study, and his efforts were soon crowned with success I was struck by tho skill th man displayed, but still more by tho philosophy. “They call tbe man who invented that there look, 6ir, a gentleman, and they yay he’s made a tremendous fortune by it, but they gives no credit to them as has larned to pick it; not a bit of It! not they: and some of them as can pick it they calls burglars and gives ’em years of hard labor, though they are just as clever as tho lucky un, who set the thing a-goiug. The standing strength of the London detect ive force is about 400. At the head of it is the director of the criminal investigation depart ment at New Scotland Yard. The staff attached to head quarters, and in immediate contact with the director, consists of 1 superintendent and about 30 subordinates; the rest of the men are distributed among the 22 divisions of the Metro politan police. Each division has thus a local staff of detectives, consisting of one inspector and a varying number of sergeants, who are, for all ordinary purposes, under the control of the divisional superintendent. Every crime dis covered is reported first to tbe nearest police station and then to the superintendent ot the division, who immediately takes it in band and issues such directions as he thinks necessary to tho detective inspector of his division. At the same time he refers it to the criminal in vestigation department, either by way of his daily report or at once if the affair be very serious. Such report passes through a chief officer of the criminal investigation department, anil then goes to the director; if urgent and out of hours, it is telegrapued to his house. He can theu act in several ways, according to the nature and gravity of the case; he may leave it en tirely in the hands of the superintendent or he may issue instructions to direct the divisional detective inspector, in which case tbe latter will act in concert with the superintendent; or, again, he may instructa member of his own staff, wno, in turn, may act with the superintendent or in dependently. Not to weary tbe reader with da ta Is, tho main points of the system are 11) the local distribution of the detective force, aud (2) Its interaction with the ordinary force through the superintendents. Everything, of course, depends on the smooth working. I have often been asked, says a writer in an exchange, why the “Liberty Cap” Is used in American illustrations, when it originated and why it was adopted. At first I was Inclined to give the Bubjeet no particular attention, and really never did give it a serious thought until good fortuue put a United Statas cent of 1793 in my hands. In this rare piece the bead of Lib erty is turned to the left. She has a pole across her left shoulder, surmounted by a conical poke, which is intended for a liberty cap. Here, in deed, was an oddity, a subject for immediate investigation. Turning to my "Dictionary of Phrase aud F able" (an odd place to look, sure, for a liberty cap is neither a phrase nor a fable). I found the following under the head of ’’l ap of Liberty ’; "The Goddess of Liberty in the Aventine Mount was represented as holding in her hand neap, the symbol of freedom. In France the Jacobins wore aredcap; in Eugland a blue cap with a white border is a symbol of liberty, and Brittania is sometimes represented as holding such a cap on the point of her spear.” Here was some pointers, but no real information as to the origination of the symbol. Delving deeper into "volumes of forgotten lore," I found that the cap was a symbol of liberty and freedom in the time of the Roman emperors. When the Romans manumitted a slave his head was adorned with a small red cloth cap. As soon as this was done he was known as a libertnus, or freedman, and bis name was registered among others of the city’s "tribes.” In the year 263, when Saturninus in vaded the capital, he hoisted a oap ou the point of his spear, ts Indicate that all slaves who rallied around this standard should bs free. When Marma inoited the slaves to take up arms against Sylla. he employed the same symbol, and when Ca-sar was murdered the conspirators marched forth in a body with a cap elevated on a spear, in token of liberty. _ MEDICAL.
