There is a gnat here thlsaurnmer that crawls up under a person's hair and bites him on the scalp, causing an immense lump to swell on nis head. It is hard for a person who has been bitten by one of these gnats to distinguish whether it is a big bump on his head cr his little head on a big bump. A Little of Both! New York Bun.

The owl is a very small bird for its eyes. Tiie Catholic Herald says that “free trade means the opening up of a new country of 55,000,000 to the ravages of JCngland.” TbbTCo say that the output of beer for the year ending May 31, 1834, was greater in prohibition Kansas than in any other year of her history. Durinq the recent earthquake one man died of fright, the shock cured one man's lame back, reconciled two families who had been at enmity for years, and interrupted several interesting games of poker. Two Indiana politicians who fell out over issues of thecampaign settled the dis* pnte by fighting a duel Sunday. Eleven shots were fired and not a drop of Mood drawn. The Virginia style of duel, hig seems to have been adopted in the .Booster State, Sub is as old as her husband, but she conceals the dreadful fact. She said one day, "My husband is forty: there is two years' difference between him and ray* 9elf.” And the friend was mean enoug‘1 to reply: "Is it possible? Why, I declare to cracions you look to be as young as be is." They do not speak now. Dkseronto, Canada, is lighted by goa made out. of sawdust under the "Walker" process. It is claimed that the works show a product of 300,000 feet of gas ont of thirty tons of sawdust at a cost of $100. with by-products of an aggregate value of $101, making the net cost of the gas $5 or LG6 cents per foot Tub latest estimate of the wheat crop amounts to 485,000,000 bushels. With au acreage of over 87,000,000 this would make the average yield per acre twelve and a half bushels. Last year the average was eleven and half bushels. The highest average was in 1870, 13 08 bushels, and the lowest in 1881,10.10 bushels. At pres ent prices the great crop of this year is worth to the farmer nearly $100,000,000 less than last year’s. •*Noxe but tho brave deserve the fair."

The amount of absinthe drinking which takes placo at Marseilles, where the cholera .mil lagers, Is abnormal. The great street is the Bne Cannaiders. which is the Boulevard Montmartre of Pam raised in intensity. The shady side is an almost unbroken series of cafes, and from early morning until late at night usually the tallies in front arc occupied by Mar- neillais, while little decanters full of syrup of gum and two or three bottles containing ahninthe, from which they help themselves. Since tin* advent of the cholera these tables have been wholly deserted. The French crown diamonds were frequently worn by Marie Antoinette, who had a great fondness for precious stones, as was. indeed, amply shown by the unfor tunate ntlair of the necklace—one of the raust*. historians have said, of the down- fall of French monarchy. Both the wives of Napoleon I. wore colored stones in pre ference to diamonds, Josephine because she was too dark, and Marie Louise be- cauae ohe was too fair Tin* Kmprrv* Eu geni* made no little use of the French jew els, and was the last person to wear them. Tub cholera scare lias created an In genious traffic in Geneva, where the quar antine laws are very strictly enforced. Hcmc opcu-rycid Genevese are in the habit of taking return tickets to some station justoutof the city. There they join the trains from France, and, by detailing to the pawincers the horrors of the compul sory disinfecting process, prevail upon campaign. Before the fight Is over it will become oretiy clear that both morals and politics have a great deal to do with it. LahorloustFIshlnB* 9 N. Y.

No supporter ol Cleveland expects or asks Mr. Carl Schurz to indorse the Democratic platform. Ho will work and vote for the Democratic candidate because he considers him a better man than Mr. lilaine. His advocacy has this extent, no more.

The Dehnsement of an Honored Title; New York Sun. Kate Vaughan, a brilliant favorite of the London semi-variety stage, popular in the Strand and with the photographers, and, as the ancient chronicler of the region where she reigns would put it, "a mon strous pretty creature," steps to the front as the wife of the new Duke of Wellington. This scapegrace was a plain Honorable when she married him, after his divorce from a most estimable woman, and last Wednesday he succeeded to the title which was won at Waterloo. HAD A DUCE OF A TIME. Astonishing Experience of Lieut. Camp bell. Lata of Her Majesty's Army. New York Sun. A particularly banged-up specimen of a tramp presented himself at Castle Garden late on Sunday afternoon. Ilia toes protrnded through the rents in his old shambling shoes, his ragged and patched trousers bagged in shapeless folds about his legs, his coat was a sight to see, and nothing short of being run over by a freight train could have reduced the remains oi the black Der by hat he wore to its bewilderingly complicated state of ruin. “I am Lieutenant John Tyler Camp bell of tiie British army," he said to Clerk Kilroy, “and J am hungry. "A fine specimen of a lieutenant you are," said a bystander. “You ought to say you are a battered-up old bum and then somebody would believe you.” "Really, gentlemen, what I say to you is quite true; I nssure you it is.

WxxhlntUm Correspondent of the New York Sun. The perplexing and dangerous compli cations that the Democratic commit tee finds itself confronted with are the tariff tssno and the record of the latest set slon ot tho House, Cleveland’s nomina tion and the developments that followed it, the indifference that some of the lead ing members of the party in Congress show towards i‘a success, and General Iiut'.er, with all t.iat name Implies. If Senator Gorman can steer the party safely through these rocks and shoals, he will justify the name he has in Maryland oi being one of the ablest poiiticiena the country has produced. TI1B IBBBFKISS1RLB TAKIFF ISSUE. Nobody appreciates the difficulties bet* . r than he. Take the tariff issue and the record of the last aeaslon ot the House. How far it ia proper to call the attention of Democrats to the tariff, and just where it ought to be done, is as delicate a matter to decide as the handling of the works of a repeating watob. The national committee here hat stacks and stacks of tariff speech es. But as good Democrats made protec tion tariff speeches as any that preached free trade.

In West Virginia they do not want free trade speeches. In Kentucky they do. In Ohio there is no telling what they want; and from Michigan all sorts of requests come. Bo the committee is in despair. Morrison, Frank Hard, Carlisle and Henry Watter- son insist on snakiog the tariff plank the issue ol the contest. Hurd and Morrison will speak on no other subject, and thev call for documents to circulate throu their districts. Mr. Watterson ms his maiden speech oi the canvi in Norfolk, the other day; and his long locks were tossed in the breeze, and the perspiration made his face glow almost as he tried to avoid the only question in the canvass for wbicli he cared a rap. Be fore the meeting began be was urged and warned not to touch the tariff question in Virginia, became thepeople there were not with him. He succeeded in avoiding it, but at the cost ot a mental strain which led him to remark that he should hereafter speak where be coulJ utter freely his sen timents about the only issue of conse quence in the canvass.

M. Hilaire Gay, a Genevan gentle man, lias published a brochure in which lie relates bis experiences of torture in Egypt: “The second time that I pre sented myBelf at the prefecture ” he writes, “I was compelled to witness, much against my will, the punishment of the baBtinado inflicted on three un fortunate Araks, and on several, subse- quent occasions I had to undergo a similar ordeal.

Democrats which free trsde The splashing a comparative cheerfulness, considering the circumstances. After serving ten years in India, he said, he recently re turned to Great Britain and threw up his commission. Then he thought he would go out to Oregon, where some relatives have a ranch, and enjoy him self after the manner of tho English tourist in the wild West. He arrived in this city a cabin passenger on the Anchoria on Tuesday last. He had then in his possession a ticket to Port land, Oregon, $125 in money and the three “boxes” which constituted his luggage. Immediately on landing he told a cabman to dnve him to a place he should not have visited. This was on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday morning at an early hour Lieutenant Campbell found himself in the disa greeable state ol being penniless in a strange street of a strange city. Every cent of his $125 was gone. He applied to a cabman. “My deah boy,” saidhe, “if you will r ’ve me a lift to the Anchor Lino dock will give you $5 when we get-there. 1 At the Anchor Line he produced the “lAxes” but not the $5, so the cabman drove off with the boxes, leaving his number and address. About all the Lieutenant now had was a ticket to Or egon and a terrific headache. He in a DO HOT BE m\ By tiie heavy artillery of our competitors’ thundering “LOW TRICES AND BIG BARGAINS. J.

His Excellency Os man Bey is seated on Hie divan of a large room of cold and sinister aspect, tho floor covered witli large slabs and lighted by high windows looking on the street. He wears the ttramboulmc, or official costume, a black frock coat with a straight collar, white waistcoat, black trousers and larbouche. His face, of a light oily tint, is adorned with a scanty block beard and whiskers; the nose is strong, the lips are thick, the eyes dark and deep. Though rather stout, he is well formed and above middle height. When Osman Bey smiles his cmntenanco becomes pleas ing and amiable, but when the smile is absent his regard is cold and stern.

THE TOBMSNTOB. 'Tito tormentor raised his arm and struck with the regularity of apendnlum the upturned feet of his helpless vic tim. At the fourth stroko the Arab uttered a cry of pain, and at every fresh stroke the cry was repeated. But soon theory became a scream, tho flagellated flesh visibly shuddered, and the soles wero seamed with red and livid streaks. Sitting silently on my cushion, chewing mechanically the tobacco of my extinguished cigar- etto, I could not help shiverini with horror at tho sight of somncl suffering. I felt a* if I were under the influence of some terrible nightmare. Osman Bey, hia secretary, the Are exe cutioners, with their atom and sinister features, looking unmoved on so cvuel a sight, aeemea for a moment rather the creations of a disordered imagina tion titan beings of flesh and hood; bnt tiie heavy thud of tiie strokes and the screams of the victim recalled we to the sad reality which I was so reluc tantly witnessing. Then the punish ment ceased. and the Arab, with ghastly face and body shaken with a feverish trembling, had to incline himself respectfully be fore the man tty whose order he had been ao craelly tormented. Helped by a guard, forms maimed and bleeding feet refused to support him, he was then lead, still moaning with agony, from tho torture chamber. The two other Arabs were afterward punished in like manner. It was notv past 5 o’clock, and hia excellency, putting on hia usual pleasant smile, gave me hia orders concerning tiie service of the police. 1 then sainted him and hurried away from tho place where J had seen the practical application of a barbarous jurisprudence.'"

The Railicaij World, in commenting on the numerous accidents from defec tive road-beds, says: “It is to be feared that one of the results of recent railway coiutraction, the subsequent reaction and embarrassments to which a num ber of companies have been subjected, will be a deterioration in the condition of the roadway and equioment of some which will increase the danger of acci dents. To render the best possible set trice to the public, all important lines should be remunerative, aa impe- cunioaity necessitates tire postpone ment of desirable repairs and improve ment*, and for this reason, if for no other, the governmental proceedings and regulations relating to railways should never bo incompatible witli their prosperity.” Bzco.v and cotton have such poor opinions of each other that they rarefy ever travel in tire same direction.
