THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1893.
BUlne'i X>mjr of Fate. ,
It ii ft curious fact that many of Mr.
Blaine's friends and many of the news
paper men here who have watched his
career held firmly to the belief that he
-would die on a Sunday. Sunday was
his day of fate. He was born on that
day, and it constantly recurs in connec
tion with the chief events of his life. It
was on Sunday that he regained posses
sion of the noted Mulligan letters, with
which that person was seeking to blast
his career and drive him from public
life. It was on the Sunday previous to
the assembling of the Republican con
vention at Cincinnati in 1876 that he suf
fered the sunstroke which played no in-
k considerable part in breaking down the
Blaine forces and nominating Hayes.
It was on a Sunday that he prepared
his celebrated Florence letter declining
to be a candidate in 1888, and it was on
the same day that he sent a peremptory
cablegram to the same effect to Repre
sentative Boutelle at Chicago. It was
on Sunday that his letter to Chairman
Clarkson last February was given out in
which he said his name would not go be
fore the coming convention. His state
ments of the American side of the Behr
ing sea controversy and the New Orleans
affair with Italy were given out on Sun
day.
His resignation of the portfolio of
state was twice determined on Sunday,
the first to President Arthur and the
second to President Harrison, although
the latter was not sent to the president
until Monday morning. That his last
illness was hopeless became known to
the public Sunday, Dec. 18, and it was
on Sunday, three weeks later, that his
phj-sicians finally admitted the hopeless
ness of liia case.—Washington Cor. Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
The Woman Won.
An exciting race took place Monday
afternoon in Walla Walla between Mrs.
Mary E. Miller of Kennewick, Yakima
county, and Frank Foster of the same
place. They both came in on the even
ing train over the O. and W. T., and
neither waited for tho car to stop but
Jumped off and made frantic runs for
backs. The woman offered to buy the
hackman's team if he would get her to
her destination in time, and the man
slipped a $5 piece into the driver’s hand
in order to facilitate matters, and in less
time than I take to tell it both hacks
were speeding up tho street at a break
neck gait
What was the cause of all this? Why,
it was a race between them to see who
could get to the United States land
offices first to file on a piece of land near
Kennewick. Tho man arrived there first,
but made a mistake and got into the
wrong office, and in the meantimo the
woman had arrived and slipped in ahead
of him. The woman also had her wit-*
nesses with her, while tho man was un
prepared in this important particular,
consequently she “got there with both
feet”—W asliington Statesman.
Cheap Pottage.
Perhaps the greatest postal advance of
recent times is that which England has
just decided to adopt—penny postage
for its vast empire. The British postof
fice department, after much urging, has
finally accepted this proposition, which
has been pressed for years by that inde
fatigable reformer, Mr. Henneker Hea
ton, and as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be made the uniform
imperial postage of a penny—2 cents—
will be established, and for that amount
a letter can be carried from England not
only to Canada and the West Indies, bnt
to India, Australia and even the center
of Africa. This is the cheapest postage
ever proposed.
The United States has been making
many improvements of late in postal
matters, but it has never been able to
catch np with England, whose lead in
this matter we must acknowledge, and
it is a striking tribute to the succees of
the English system that, superior as it is
to ours, it yet nets a profit of $15,000,000
a year to tho government, whereas we
usually have a deficit in our postoffice
accounts. The truth seems to be that
the better tho postal service the greater
the profit. The United States, under
these circumstances, can well afford to
make radical improvements, certain that
it will be repaid for them in a short time.
It will strike every one at once that if
England can maintain a penny postage
for its vast empire, scattered as it is
through all the four quarters of the globe,
it ought to be easily possible to secure a
reduction in tho rates now charged for
foreign postage.—New Orleans Times-
Democrat.
A Dude and Ills Overcoat.
A story is out on a certain young man
whose pxxrso is not the most plethoric,
and yet ho aims to dress as well as the
richer young men with whom ho associ
ates. Early in the winter, when it ap
peared that there would not be any cold
weather, and he found himself in some
what straightened circumstances, he
pawned his overcoat. At the expiration
of the pledge, the weather still being
mild, he neglected to renew it. The coat
not being called for, the pawnbroker
sold it to a colored man. Two or three
days after, tho dude wanted the coat.
He was very ranch discomfited on learn
ing that it had been sold. He ascer
tained tho address of tho colored man to
whom it had been sold. Ho found the
fellow, paid him the amount that he had
paid the pawnbroker and took his coat.
The fun of it is that the colored man is
a retainer in a suburban family with
whom the young man associates. The
young man doesn’t know anything about
this, but the family—through the col
ored man, who gave tho thing away—
know all about the overcoat.—Cincin
nati Enquirer.

Natural Go* Raises a New Law Question.
A resolution was introduced in the city
council tonight to begin a suit for dam
ages, involving several hundred thousand
“dollars, against the Northwestern Ohio
Natural Gas company, which lias its
wells in this county adjoining those of
the city, and which supplies the city of
Toledo with gas. The resolution is the
result of a long study of the legal aspect
of the case by Mr. Alexander, who intro
duced it, and upon his recommendation
it was referred to the city solicitor, who,
it is understood, is in favor of vigorous
ly prosecuting tbo suit. As the rock
pressure has gradually decreased, the
Northwestern company has introduced
three immense pumps at a station six
xnilee from the city, at a cost of $50,000,
in order to force the gas through the
40 miles of pipe and suck it from the
ground. This has greatly injured the
city’s territory, and the claim will be
made that the use of artificial means to
get the gas from under the contiguous
territory of the city is illegal The ques
tion has never been raised in the courts.
—Findlay Cor. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Another Airship Invented.
Another airship has been projected by
M. Grensfelder, who has just received
his patent papers from Washington. The
ship is a cigar shaped affair, 100 feet
long and 30 feet in diameter. It will
hold 85,000 cubic feet of gas and carry
3,800 pounds. The feature of the inven
tion is that it can he steered. There are
several mechanical innovations for which
great results are promised. The inven
tion varies from most airships in that it
can float in tho water. The framework
will be of steel or aluminium, the ribs
being covered by a light airtight cover,
which will receive several coats of var
nish. The gas will be stored in a cham
ber at each end, and there will be space
left for a cabin in tho middle. In this
cabin the electric motor, anchor and all
the other mechanism will find a lodg
ment A strong partition will separate
the machine and passenger quarters.—
St Louis Letter.
A Great Season For Maple Sugar.
“Unless I am greatly mistaken,” said
Loren Cushman yesterday, “the coming
spring will be a great season for maple
sugar making. It is well known to those
who have engaged in that business that
a good season always follows a winter
that furnishes-abundance of cold weath
er. The maple sap is always sweeter
after a period of intense frost and' fur
nishes a larger percentage of sugar. Not
only that, but the trees yield a larger
quantity of sap after a cold winter than
they do after a winter that has frequent
thaws and periods of warm weather.
The snow in onr county is very deep,
and unless remarkably warm weather
should come it will be on the ground
until well along in April. There is such
an immense body of it that sugar mak
ing will not commence until late in the
season, but when we get at it we shall
make more of the toothsome sweet than
we have made before in years.”—Nor
wich Son.
An Ic« Floe Flashing Light.
A remarkable phenomenon was wit
nessed on the Thames during the even
ing of Friday. A number of pedestrians
on Vauxhall bridge were startled by
noticing that one of the large masses of
ice which were floating with the tide was
emitting flashes of light at intervals of
about six seconds. Not only was this
curious and unusual sight seen from
Vauxhall bridge, but one gentleman who
had noticed it at Chelsea bridge followed
it along the Thames embankment for
some distance.
The area of the mass was several
square yards, and this was the only one
out of the many hundreds which were
passing the bridge at the time that pre
sented any unusual appearance. Con
jectures were numerous at the time as to
the cause of the flashes, hut no satisfac
tory explanation was arrived at.—Pall
Mail Gazette.
General Batter'* Famous Yacht.
There is considerable speculation in
yachting circles, now that General But-
Itr is dead, as to into whose hands the
old America will fall Mr. Paul Butler
told me that he bad not the slightest
idea as to whether he should retain it or
not. Current opinion in Lowell has de
cided that he will not. His pet hobby
is canoeing, and it is doubtful if he will
change at this day. The general's last
cruise, by the way, he told me, was
taken with the New York Yacht dub,
when he sailed up with them from New
port, the America giving many of the
new yachts a tussle. After that he took
a number of short trips up along the
north shore, but this was his last cruise.

I hear a storv. bnt cannot verify it, to
the effect that, in clearing out her old
house preparatory to moving to the new
one, Mrs. Stevenson actually found tho
missing gold soup plate that has prevent
ed her from asking more than 11 people
to her state dinners. It was found, so
’tis said, stuffed way down into the back
of one of the great sofas that adorned the
middle drawing or music room. It is
surmised that one of the indigent for
eigners whom she so willingly entertains
of a Sunday night managed to slip it into
his lap at dinner, then into the back of
his waistcoat and eventually down the
back of the sofa, whence he hoped to ex
tract it before going home. Foiled in
this, he left the valuable piece of plate in
its hiding place to become the source of
in sffahle annoyance to its hostess
