It is proposed to utilize the school
houses of Chicago for deormitorie?
during the World’s Fair. It is expect
ed that over three hundred thousand
teachers will attend the Fair. There
are two hundred and fifty public
school buildings in the city which
might be used for the accommodation
of visiting teachers at a charge merely
sufficient to cover actual expenses.
The plan meets with much favor.
The census bulletin of the popula
tion of the United Seates shows an in
crease during the last ten years of
25.GG prr cent, among the males and
21.02 among the females. This is
about the usual proportion, and yet
people will insist that there are more
births of girls than boys. The reverse
Is true. The reason there Is usually
an excess of women of a marriageable
age is because the number of men Is
decreased by war, accident and emi
gration.
A curious case has come up In Bos
ton. The Supreme Court recently
granted an order restrainieg a well-
known firm of aare book-dealers from
disposing of certain letters and docu
ments signed by George Wagliington,
Lafayette, Queen Aone, the Earl of
Sunderland, Thomas Jefferson and
other historic charachters.. The in
junction was granted at the instance
of the secretary of State of Virginia,
who asserts that these papers belong to
the archives of that State* The de
fendant owners, who offered the
papers for sale, make the remarkable
defense that the treasures were taken
from the State while it was in a state
of reb llion, and that it forfeited all
rights to i he property by going to war
with the general Government.
Many people imagine that Mr.
Cleveland has received an almost un
precedented honor in being nominated
a third time for the Presidency. But
there have been numerous instances of
similar honors in the history of the
Republic. Joho Adams received elec
toral votes tor the Presidency in 17S0,
1795,179G and 1800. All these elec
tions were before the Twelfth amend
ment to the constitution was vdopted.
So that in the first two elections he
was really voted lor with a view to the
vice-Presldency. John Jay received
votes in 17*0,1796 and 1800. Thomas
Jefferson received votes in i792, 1796
1800 and 1S04, being elected in the last
two years mentioned. George Clinton
received votes In 1789, 1792 and 1796,
and in 1808. He was electen Vice-
President in 1804 and 1S03. Charles
C. Pinckney received votes for
President in 1797, ~ 1S00,
1S04 and ISOS. Aron Barr
received votes in 1792, 1796 and 1S00,
becoming Vice-Presidcet the last-
named year. John Qaincy Adams
ras a candidate In 1820. 1824 (when
he was elected) and in 1S2S. Andrew
Jackson was a candidate in 1S24, 1S2S
and 1332—being successful in the last
two, and receiving more electoral
votes (though not a majority of the
whole) than apy other candidate^ in
1S24. Henry Clay was a candidate In
1824,1832 and 1S44. And Martin Van
Buren was a candidate in 1836 when
he was elected, in 1S40 when he was
defoated by William Henry Harrison,
and in 1848, as a Free boiler, when he
received no electoral votes. Since
Van Buren no man has received the
nomination for President the third
time until Mr. Cleveland was so hon
ored Thursday morning at Chicago. .
Until the discoveries of the bones of
the cave-dwellers and the drift men oi
it was quite frequently assumed that
the men of ancient times were taller
and stronger than those of the present
day. Poets wrote about the giants,
and nursery tales abounded in advent
ures of races compared to which our
people are pigmies. As a matter of
fact, no skeleton of the prehistoric
period appears to have belonged to a
man whose stature was equal to that
of our tallest men. Some skeletons
found on the Mediterranean coast
seemed to have tormed part of men
whose hfght was six feet; bat by far
the greater number of bones found In
the drift in France, Germany and
Belgium belonged to men who were
about five feet six, and whose
strength, judging from )helr arm and
legbones, must have been less than
that of the strong men ot the present
day.
The chances are that the intellectual
force of our ancestors was as inferior
to the Intellectual force of the existing
races as their physical force. In works
of pure imagination and of abstract
philosphy mankind has perhaps made
but little progress within the historic
period. It is difficult to detect actual
advance between Tennyson and
Victor Hugo on one^ side, and Job,
Ezekiel, Homer and Horace on tbe
other. Nor can any particular march
of intellect be observed by a compari
son between the leading metaphysi
cians of today and Aristotle and Plato.
But in every other branch of human
thought there is marked progress, and
such rapid progress that text-baoks
become antiquated and obsolete in less
than a century. This is not only the
case in the exact Ecleiices In which the
course of discovery necessarily effaces
past theory, but also in such branches
of knowledge as law, ethics political
economy and social science, in which
progress implies growing develop
ment of tbe human mind. At tbe
very time when Shakespeare was giv
ing voice to thoughts, which are as
true now as when be uttered them, the
English people bad no share iu their
own government; debtors starved to
death in pdison, men* were immured io
jail for a lifetime without a trial,
women bad no lawful names, towns
had no drains, ignorance was no fault,
vice scarcely shame, and nobody com
plained of these things. Their enor
mity was not realized even by the
clearest-headed men of the day. Sure
ly tt is imposing on public credulity to
say that the reforms which have taken
place in these vital matters do not
imply an adyance in brain-power.
We need not go back to Shakespeare
for proof that mankind Is growing
wiser and braver and kinder with each
generation. He who reads McMas-
ter’s history is amazed to find how
narrow-minded and bigoted and sel
fish and hard-hearted and Bliort-Blgh-t
ed Americans were only a century ago.
At the very lime when Washington
and bis compeers were laying the
foundation of the best government
the world had ever known the masses
of the American people were in many
parts of the country living In a sav
agery which cannot be paralleled
today outside of Russia. Women died
for want of maternity; debtors poked
their beads out of holes called prisons
in Connecticut and begged the way
farer for a crust os bread; slaves held
their lives and the honor of their
daughters at the mercy of their own
ers; newspapers reviled the best men
in the land in the foulest billingsgate;
the cripple and the blind were often
left to starve uuless they chanced to
meet a good Samaritan. Some of these
things might happen anywhere, even
at the present time, but then they
were matters of common occurrence,
elicited little or no outcry, nor attracted
much attention. Doe« not tbe disap
pearance of these infamies simply
growth in moral and mental and men
tal stature?
Whoever may hold to the contrary,
the world is growing better every
year that rolls over. Errors still rears
its head, crimes occur, injustice is
practiced, the weak are siill sometimes
crashed to the wall, tbe base still oc
casionally rise to the surfaoe ot the
social wave, but all these wrongs
arouse indignant protest from the
masses, and tn honest men’s breasts a
longing to cure them fiercely burns.
It will be time to say that the march
of progress has stopped when we find
that things base and vile and shameful
rouse no indignation.
A noonon 66 GOLD PIECE.
Quite BarePfstr. TlisnrbBrlgbam
Tshi misted 1,000.000 af TIi
County Commissioner Ballard of
Saa Francisco Is the possessor of a rare
and curious gold coin, which fell into
his hands in California in 1819. It Is
a Mormon $5 niece, and for many
years has been employed as a charmer
or bangle on Mr. Ballard’s fob chats
The owner was bimself a lorty-
nlner. and took part in the scenes of
the early gold excitement in Califor
nia. He says that the Mormons, who
were among tbe earliest in the gold
fields, re tarred to Salt Like with
great quantities of the precious yel
low dost. Much gold also found las
way to Utah through other avenues.
Brigham Young, who was at that
time running a llttlb government in
bis own account, established a mint
and coined probably $1,000,090 in $5
gold pieces. Ehese coins soon found
their way to California and passed
current. At that enrly date, Mr. Bal
lard says, the coins were welcomed as
a great convenience in matters of ex
change. The metal in the coins was
unalloyed—so soft and pure in fact,
that it wore sway very rapidly. On
this account they soon disappeared
from circulation almost as rapidly as
they bad appeared.
On one side of Hr. Ballard’s relic are
two clasped hands, probably symbolic
of brotherly love, while around tbe
margin are the letters: “G. S. L. C.
P. G.,” standing for “Great Salt Lake
Californ Pure Gold.” Below the
clasped bauds are the words: “Five
dollars” and tbe date, **1849.” On
tbe other side in tbe center of the coin,
is tbe All-seeing Eye, and below that
beehive, while around the margin
are these words: “Holliness to tbe
Lord.”
Mr. Ballard has had some trouble
keeping bis coin. Once he accidently
lost the keepsake, bat was lucky
enough to find It again. Another time
a thief got into his house and took all
the money from bis pocketbook except
this old-looking coin, which, at
glance, resembles a trank check. This
was more than twenty years ago. Mr.
Aallard then attached it to bis morocco
fob chain, which is anchored to an old-
fashioned silver watch, the movement
of which is alBO' dated 1849. Another
of these rare coins is preserved in the
National museum at Washington.—

MB. CLEVELAND’S FRIENDS.
There are some facts In connection
with tbe nomination of Mr. Cleveland
which it may be interesting to note
just at this time. In the first place he
was the overwhelming choice of the
plain people of his party. Every
effort of disaffected politicians and
newspapers to persuade the masses
that some other name would be more
potent In the struggle for success at
the pools proved unavailing.- Even
when Mr. Wattereoo, whose words of
advice have always had great weight
Id tbe councils of his party, took sud
den fright and wrote hysterically of
tbe unwisdom of nominating Mr.
Cleveland, he was as one beating the
air. It tired him and it tired every
body else, but it» did nothing more.
The current could not be stayed. T11
popular will, tbe popular demand of
the party were for the ex-President,
and the more tbe small body of the
disaffected shouted Us disapproval,
the firmer the masses stood, tbe more
determined their demand became.
Tbe popular desire for Cleveland’s
renominatiou so early manifested
itself and was so distinct in its expres
sion that but for the purely factitious
diversion crerted in New York by Mr.
Hill and his pertect machine, there
can be little question that no othor
name would have been thought of by
the party. But when Mr. Hill an
nounced that be proposed to secure
the domination, timid leaders In other
States began to say it would i>ever do
to nominate Mr. Cleveland in tbe face
of the Hill opposition in Now York.
No one ever serionsly thought
that Hill conld be nominated. The
cry began to be raised then for some
new name. Bat when tbe attempt
was made to pick oat one of tbe real
leaders of the party, of presidential
size and availability, on whom to
unitea singular difficulty was con
fronted. These men, with hardly an
exception, refused to be considered
candidates while Mr. Cleveland re
mained In the field. Governor Rus
sell, of Massachusetts, bright, vigor
ous, able, who bad twice been elected
cbiel executive of the old Bay State,
said unequivocally that tie was for Mr.
Cleveland. Governor Paitlson, % of
Pennsylvania, trusted and capable,
who had twice overcome the phenome
nal Republican m*j )rity of the Key
stone State would Got listen to the
siren voice of the tempter agiinst Mr.
Cleveland. Side by side with these
• ood ex-Socretary Whitney, of New
York; *x-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio; Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky;
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, and, at
the last, Senator Gormon, of Mary
land; All these men, influenced alike
by a feeling of personal loyalty and a
sense ef political expediency, refused
to enter tbe lists against tbe ez Presi
dent.
Outside of these names where conld
tbe party reasonably look for a caudi-
date ? Governor Boies, of Iowa, a re-

The eating a traveler gets among the
mountains of Kentucky is not always
the exact thing he would choose if left

must put up with it or go empty. One
Jane day, alter a rough ride of thirty
miles and no dinner, 1 palled up in
front of a house to make inquiries as to
entertainment for man and beast for
that night. The proprietor of the
place was sitting on a woodpile by the
gate.
What are the chances for something
to eat and a place to sleep?” I asked,
after the usual greeting.
‘•Come far?” he answered*
“Thirty miles.”
“Wfiar from ?”
** Beatty ville.”
“Come from the Bine-Grass?”
“Yes, left Winchester a week ago. 5
“Live down that way ?”
“Yes, when I am at home.”
“I used to live down in the Bine
Grass myself,” he said, with a remin
iscent pleasure in his eyes. “Lived
down thar till I was 21, married agal
up in these parts and come up here to
live. She owned this farm. 1 didn't
own a darn thing in the Bine Grass, 5
and be winked slyly. “Bat git down
and come in. I reckon we kin fix you.
Hitch your ho«s to the sence. Want
somethin’ to eat, do you ?” -
“I should say ^o,” I replied, as
obeyed his instructions.
Mow'd a fried chicken with some
gravy strike you?”
*'Humble center,” I replied in tbe
vernacular.
“That’s Blue Grass victuals, ain’t
hit?” he asked with an appetizing
laugh. “And I reckon you ain't ob
jectin' to some nice hot biscuits, flaky
and white, with honey onto’em and, a
piece o’broiled bam that ’ud make
your mouth water?”
Well, hardly,” I said, as the pleas
ant vision tbe man spread out before
me began to tickle my palate.
“Good cup of coflee ain't bad, nuth-
er, is it?” he went on, “and waffles
thrown in fur good measure, and then
taperin’ of on a big sasser full of fresh
strawberries swimmin’ In cream.’
“Don’t talk about it,” I protested;
“I'm hungrier than a wolf. Let me
get at it.”
My host’s face fell and there were
almost tears in his eyes.
Talk’s all there is to it, mister,”
he said, mournfully. “Ic uater be
that away in the Blue Grass, but we
don’t git nuthin’ but corn bread and
^alt pork up this away.”
I presume he saw the disappointment
in my face and that 1 was about to ex
press it vigorously for he threw up his
hands appealingly.
“Don’t say a word, mister,” he
pleaded; “ef I didn’t get a chance
sometimes to talk about the kind oi
fillin' fit for a man to pat inside of
himself I’d been a dead man twenty-

CHANGED HIS LUCK.

Hie Reason a Pillar of tne Cttardi
Would Hot Leaser Actul'ther
Naa Jay lircningi.
The venerable and scholarly-looking
clergyman was not a little surprised to
receive a call from tbe leading pillar
of his church io the middle of the
week. Such a thing was decidedly
nnusnal, and tbe good man at once
conceived that an affair extraordinary
must be in the wind. He greeted his
parishioner warmly. The latter seat
ed bimself nervously on the edge of a
chair and returned the compliments of
bis pastor iu a perfunctory, absent
way.
“Fine day,” observed the clergy
man.
The pillar looked hard at the carpet
and acqulsced.
••Splended congregation last Sun
day,” the man of God ventured.
“Hey? Oh-ah-yes, indeed. Quite
right.”
The pillar certainly bad something
on his mind. His air of deep abstrac
tion was capable of no other interpre
tation.
“Can 1 do anything for you today ?”
inquired the preacher, deferentially.
The pillar started and became red
In tbe face.
Ye-es,” he faltered, “you can,
I’ve—come—to—”
£ Articulate discourse seemed by no
means easy of accomplishment for the
pillar.
“To tell yon that—that it will not be.
convenient for me to longer act as
usher Sabbath evenings.”
The pillar noticed the pained ex
pression that flitted across his pastor’s
face.
‘But I still can act,” he hastened to
add, by way of palliative, “Sunday
mornings, just as well as not, and
am glad to do so.”
The preacher wheeled about in his
chair and looked fixedly among the
leaders of bis lambs. The leader
promptly fell to perspiring copiously,
“I ( m sorry,” solemnly remarked the
minister.
“So am I,” the pillar promptly re
plied, “but I can’t help it. Yon see,
last Sunday afternoon and early even
ing, I bad scooped the iack-pot nine
times ont ot ten.”
The preacher gasped feebly as if a
twinge of pain had run through his
frame.
“And I hadn’t held anything less
than two palre. “Well, that’s the
way it stood when I went to church,
And what do you suppose happened
when I went back after service? Tbe
best hand I got was a ten spot
high. Why, it just changed my luck
completely. As I was saying—”
Tbe pillar rose to depart, apparently
much relieved In mind.
“I can’t be usher any .more Sunday
nights, but I’ll enjoy continuing to
serve in that capacity in the morning,
And when he was gone the clergy
man clntched the arm ot his chair con
vulsively and reflected upon bis recent
^ concerning the great practical
virtue of church laity.

there—and within the State itself—as

A desire to borrow money at low

Professor Ryder, of the Universi
ty of Pennsylvania, has been expert
menting in oyster culture for a num
ber ot years, and claims to have made
valuable discoveries. He declares that
tbe yonng oyster’s mo3t dangerous
enemy is muddy water, and not ani
mals of tbe sea. When the little fel
low gets into tbe mud, he Bays, it dies.
In order to prevent this the professor
suggests that the oyster-farmer should
stretch wire-netting horizontally on
piles, and should strew this thickly
with shells. On this the old oysters
should be placed to propagate. In a
year the young, thus protected, are
harly enough to be planted anywhere.
Tbe expense of this plan, he thinks,
would be much more than counterbal
anced by the immense increase In tbe
oyster crop.
