The Philadelphia ledger remarks that the new steamship line from Its city to Savannah “la Intended for hustling mer chants at both ends of II." Hobeon ought to get a apec.tiiltst to see what It la that la the matter with hi* mouth. It got him Into trouble Juat be fore he left, and now It seem* likely to gel him Into trouble again.

It may be said, therefore, that the party haa ''past ed In It* chips '* In the language of a famous epitaph the ''party" might ob serve: "It Is so soon that I am done for, 1 wonder what I was begun for." w . t At Ogden. Utah, the other day a news paper correspondent wee Informed by a member of the Mormon Church that a divine revelation had been made to the church in which it was set forth that nil '.Sit believers *hou*d vote the Republican ticket. Anotner member of the church, however, upset the theory of revelation by deleting that the whole thing w.ia a fake, und that no divine direction with respect to lha matter had been received. I MIMJIKRS lb THE COAL SUUJM. ! The a’rtke in the anthracite coal region : of Pennsylvania Is taking the usual j course. Neither tb- operators nor the strik ers expected that th* question* at Issue would he settled wit hoot violence, but II la doubtful It the operator* expected she striker* would resort to violence so soon. The sympathy of tbo public was with the striker* before they began Going If they expeca to retain tt they will have to avoid violence. If there are miners who want to work It la their right to do so. Tbe state will see to tt that lh*> are pro tected In that right It may be that th# stata troop* which have been eent to the •erne of trouble will be sufficient to main tain order. If not. mors troops will be sent. Unless order were maintained many lyvf* would be lost. Already several Inno cent priotis have been killed. No dnuhi there I* fault on both side* The strikers have good grounds for com plaint and the operator* assert that there Is much to be aatd for t h*-lr side. That Is the position of Mrrkle A Cos., who seem to be die i*>• I to lo what Is right That firm have offered to arbitrate the differ ence* betwien them and the miners work ing under them, end to ac *pt Arch bishop Ryan of Philadelphia a* tbe third member of the arbitrating committee. Nothing could he fairer than that. It Is probable that this offrr will bo accepted by their men. that Is. If they are permit ted to do *o by Ihe strikers. If the reports of alleged unbiased wit nesses are to he accepted the miners, while they have reason to complain of their earnings, are by no meant In a pov erty-stricken condition. On th* contrary, they live In fairly comfortable houses have plenty of good food and not a few of them have money In the bank. Indeed. It le asserted that In some of the districts Ihe vast majority of the miners have con siderable sums In tbe savings l-anks. All of the thrifty miners who have not met with any serious setbacks, are In a good financial condition. That this la true Is shown by the fact that many of the min ers, since the beginning of the strike, have announced their purpose to go to Europe, to visit their old homes and to re main until the strike la settled. There are* of couree, plenty of miner* who live in hovels and are badly off as far a* this world’* goods are concerned, hut It Is aatd that In almost every Instance such |arsons are either loafer* or drunk ards, Rut that f ier not. of course, prove that the miners are not oppressed by the coal operators and the coal railroad com - panic*. The things of which they com plain, however, could easily be remedied by arhdratlon. .Therefore there ought to be enough state troop* sent Into the dis turbed section to maintain order. With the assurance of peace and order It Is probable that the men who are trying to effect a settlement of the strike would soon succeed In accomplishing thtlr ob ject. AN Afft IF.NT (i I.Y KWTOf* CATA CLYSM. It Is a singular circumstance that Just before the occurrence of the recent Gal veston fitsaster, which resulted In the loss of so many liven* evidences were dlscov • ered of the fact that In prehistoric times there lived In that part of Texas an un known raceof people In populous communi ties, and that on at least one occasion they Buffered a cataclysm no leas, and possibly more, destructive of life than that which has recently visited Galveston. The dlwovery was made qulto by acci dent. Grading was t-clng done for the con struction of a railroad through Galve*- ton county. On a point of land between Galveston Ray and Clear Creek, when th. i-tearrt nhovctn were cutting to an unusual depth, human bonce were uncovered. Their presence at such a depth, more than twenty feet below the surface, led to an organised Investigation; and what the Investigators discovered led them in evitably to the conclusion that they had chanced upon an ancient but Involuntary cemetery, wherein hud been deposited by norae convulsion of nature the bodies of a people whoso history had been lost. Literally thousands of skeletons were found within a comparatively small area, and their positions were such as to sug gest that they had been the victims of a lldal wave, accompanied by a great storm. The bones lay In groupes, showing that from two to ten persona hud perished to gether. In some Instances Ihe skeletons were on their backs, In others on their stomachs. In others rroea-plled—ln short, there w no uniformity In their arrange ment for tbe last sleep, Indicating that the bodies had remained Just as they were left by the force which had deprived them of life, and that the bones had been buried deep by the shifting sands and Ihe subsequent accumulation of decaying for est growth. The theory that these ancient people were destroyed by a cataclysm rests prin cipally uinn the fact that the strata of earth In which their remain* were found consisted of about 40 per cent, sheila cf sail water origin. With the sheila were about 40 per cent, gravel and 20 per cent, coarse sand. Thai the people were of some degree of civilisation ts thought to be shown by the pearl beads and frag ment* of pottery discovered with the bones; but as to their race or history, no trace remain*. Many of the skeletons were of almost glgsnttc proportions. The skulls wrre somewhat flattened. The teeth In some case* were touch worn. These things have led archaeologists to suppose the people were related to the prehistoric race# of Mexico, and that they subsisted upon hard food. More than fif teen hundred of the skeletons were count ed. while several thousand were te ntoved. No sign of any habitation, how ever, waa discovered. Several of the best preserved of the skeleton* have been sent to different museums, and to the J’an- American Exposition, with all of the date available respecting them. Can It be that thle great deposit of hu man bodies points to an American Bom pell, with the waters of the Gulf instead of the leva from Vesuvius, as the de stroying elcmenlT The Republic*!!

They are thinking and j talking nhuut the question of removing I th* capital from Tallahassee to Jeckson j vffle, Ocala. GalneavlH* or At Augustine j That Is the paramount question In Florida. Ev*+y 000 of the places mentioned Is nmMtlous to b* the cspunl of th# stat*. ! It there were only one pMce that wanted to get th# capital way from TalUhonse. ' th* chance* of th* slate getting anew aptsal would be very much better than It ts Th* way It looks now. however, I* that th* people who favor letting the capttol remain where It ls outnumber those who fa.or any on* of the other place.—at liaet they are sufficiently nuro erous to prevent either of the other places from getting a majority of ail of tbe vote* rest. Th* strongest argument against the re mov.it of the capital at this time tm the expense The cost of a modern caplto) building ands Governor’s residence Would he more than a million dollars. Th# coat, probably, would bo two million* before the buildings were completed and furntno •ri because t would be sati that a* the apllol would be expected to last a cen tury or morr. It would he folly to put up a small and cheap building that would not he much more satisfactory than the pres ent structure. It to a question whether th* people of Florida are ready to more than double their puMlc debt at thla time. They ore only Just recovering from the effect* of the great freeae. They are In no condi tion yet to bear etdltional taxation. T*n year* from now, when the orange groves have fully recovered and a very muen greater percentage of the land has been brought under cultivation, when, in fact, Ihe taxable wealth of the state has be come double what It In now. the people will feel much more like taxing themselves tor anew capltoi. It Is true that Ihe present state bouse is not i very attractive on*, and Ita ac commodations for the legislature, so far as committee rooms are concerned, are meagre, but Florida’s law* compare fav orably with those of states which have state house* that cost many millions of dollars, and have every modern conven ience. Good men rather than rlegani buildings are necessary to the making of' good laws. t~ — i m ■ i AY Of TOPI WITH WlllfUl. Hardly had Senator Hanna’s speech. In which he deelar.d he did not believe there was ouch a thing as a trust In th# United States, been printed when there came from his own atat~from the town of Wapakoneto—tbe authentic report of a trust of exceptional pretention*. That It la a trust, and furthermore, that It proposes to work In secret. Is not denied by the originators and organisers of tt. This new oetoiaia strange as It may rrem, wii born with wing*--the wings ot Cupid. That these wings may grow and (ledge until their gentle and seductive 1-catlnga may be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land, I* tbe earnest wish of the parents of tha wing ed octopus. Its proper name Is the "So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Worthy Young Lover*” and Its charter membership number* towards of twenty business and ooclety young men of the town named. The avewed object of the society Is Ihe “mutual benefit and pro tection of all worthy young loveri." The badge of worthiness, of course, will be the society's button. The constitution and by-laws of the order contain certain pro visions for discouraging and punishing "gossips, knockers, kldder*."and all other classes that Interfere In the love affairs of the members Competition Is to be dis couraged. and the diffident young chap Is to be given a plenty of time to "pop" to the object of his affections without running the risk of being "cut out” by some other fellow having more brass and gab. Unreasonable fathers. It Is to be pre sumed. will come tn for a good share of the attention of this Lovers’ Trust. The father who objects to the calls of a mem ber of the trust ui>on his daughter, and kicks him down stairs, may expect to re ceive a call from the grievance commit tee, If Indeed he does not find his family boycotted In the mutrlmomal MUrket. Th# "knockers." the "kldders" and the gossip*, (whatever the first may be.) need to be put down, and If tbe Lovers’ Trust can find a way of doing It. the applause of the populace will be unhesitatingly ac corded to It. There Isn't any sane rea son In the world why. because a chap has (albn In love, he should be chucked In the ribs and giggled at by a lot of persona who are only envious Nor Is there rea- ■ton for the existence of gosslpera. who de light In poking their nose* Into young people’s love affairs. Chaperons, Jilts, flirts, etc., are also marked down on the nttle list of the trust, since It la an affair for "mutual benefit.” All trusts. It may be remark* and parenthetically, are con structed upon the mutual benefit plan; that la, for the luncllt of those who are In on the ground floor. There appears, upon the whole, to be something of a field of work for this new rat Ohio true!, and It may he able to demonstrate that It should not be classed with those wicked octopl whose de struction Is being sought by the politi cian*. Both Gov. Roosevelt and Control ler Coler have advocated publicity In the matter of the operation* of trust*. But In this case publicity would hardly do. Where worthy young lovers are concern ed In a trust, the gas should be turned down, and If necessary the curtains low ered and the key-holes plugged. In his meseage to Congrea* on Dee. 1, 1862.

The Chicago Chronicle says, with re spect to a recent speech by Be ns tor Hanna: “He Intimated that It waa Col Lryan's intense desire for 'pc#' *' which | csuaed his resignation."

Charles lllekru#' Present. Charles Dickens was always very fond of children, says Spare Moments. One ibiy hit w walking In Ihe neighborhood of Gad's hill, not long after he had ac quired hi* property there, when ho sud denly r in Into a little girl wheeling a doß’s perambulator. In an Instant the tiny vehi cle upset, the dolls being thrown out. Ii was a bad accident as far as they were concerned, lor wax head* wml limbs aro not calculated fo eland much hard usage Tn# little mold hurst Into tears, and. much to the novelist’s sorrow, refused to be comforted. "Then come home with me.” Dickens whispered, soothingly, "and we'll eeeMf ivo isn’t find some grand waxen lady In siikn and satins for you." So back to the big house the two wen’, and. *ure enough, up In hi* children's nursery he managed to discover a few pietvily dressed dolls With these safely tucked In her perambulator the little girl trotted off. Hui It le in the sequrl that the best pari of the story lies. The child’s fieirt wit# set on making some return for this kindness, so her parent*, who hnd not the (.ilniest suspicion of her friend's person nitty. took her to town to choose some thing. Her choice fell eventually upon a gorgeouely hound hook. When Dickens the next day undid the rwreel his small visitor hrought him he was surprised and delighted to sec a copy of "David t*op[erflcld " Not until many years later, when they met tigatn In society, did the little girl team who the "kind gentleman" was. Brougham's I nlqne Wager. Brougham once contrived to make a holiday poy for Itself by the exercise of a little shrewdness, says ihe Westminster Budget, it was tn his college days that, by the way of seeing Ilfs, he went one autumn to Dumfries In order to be *t the Caledonian hunt meeting. According to the then custom everybody dined at n table d'hote, and after dinner betting set In. Brougham offered to bet the whole company that none of them would write down the manner in which he meant to go (o the races next day. There who accepted hla challenge wrote down their conjectures, and Brougham wrote down tils Intention of traveling In a Sedan chair, a mode of conveyance no one Mid hit up>n To the races he went, an Immense crowd seeing him safely chaired to the course. The bet was then renewed as to the manner of his return to Dumfries, the acceptors taxing their wit* to imagine tho most Improbable method of travel ing Brougham had calculated upon thla. and won the double event by returning in a post cha Ire amt pair. D# Charge for the Rleealta. An nmuslng Incident occurred to Prin ces* Victoria of Wales during her recent visit to th# Cumberland lakes, aays the Dundee Journal. The Princess and party, who had been cycling, rod* up to a station In order to entrain for another part of the district. They were tired and dusty and In want of some refreshment. There was no time to leave the station, and a messenger was sent to a neighboring ho tel and returned with a waiter, who took an order for some lemonade and biscuits. "What sort of people are they?" Inquir ed the landlady when asked as to the charge. "Oh. ordinary people." replied the wai ter. In blissful ignorance "Ah. pulr things. Just rharge them for the lemonade and never mind the bis cuits." said the proprietress. it came as a surprise to her later on to learn that she had been entertaining roy alty unawares. A Rale of Thumb.

The rurste. being exceedingly anxious at all times to do things In the order of the liturgy, once insisted, when marrying a couple, on Ihe ring being put on the fourth finger. The bride rebelled, and finally wild: "i would rather die than be married on my Httle finger!" For an Instaut the curate wavered, (hen he said: "But th# rubric says so." Matters were at a standstill—the bride tearful, the groom uneasy, the curate de termine.! when the perish clerk stepped in and said: "In these case*, sir, the thoomb counts as a digit " .

She missed Ihe first shot, hut the second pa#acd through his brain, kill ing him—lndian Juat Ice had been done; but th# poor old woman Is now In prison awaiting whit# m*n'* Justice. A Merret of Yowth. One night at * reception which Senator Beveridge and I attended soon after his election, pays n writer in th* Saturday Evening I fist, the hottes* said In mock surprise: "Ar* you Senator Beveridge, the Senator from ltHiiana?" The Senator bowed modestly. "It hardly seems po*sltd#l Why, you are a mere beardless youth!" "Madam." replied Mr. Beveridge wlth i out a smile, "I suave." ITEMS OF IYTEREBT. —Lady Mary Saurin. who dird In London •he other day. having nearly completed her hundredth year. had. during her whole life, an unvarying habit of eating something every two hours. She never In any Ircumsiame* departed from the cus tom. anl to It she ascribes her good health and longevity. When traveling or going about London she carried a little flag of sandwiches with her. and at the expiration o' every two hour* she would open her bag and tat one or two. Up lo the end of her life the mind of hi* mar velous old lady seemed strong and active, ctd her memory was remarkable. At the time of the batll* ot Waterloo her father. Lord Harrowby, hi Id office a* president of ih>> Council, and hi* town house was In Orosvenor square 1-ady Mary ha* of ten related the hls'.ory of events at that critb al moment and recounted vivid re collections of the rejoicings and lllumlm tlons In London when the news of the great victory was received. She would also tell talc# of the day* of the Chartist* ami the Cato street coneplracy. This waa a deep-laid plot to asrasslnate the entire government of the day, and the blow wt arrang'd to be struck when Ihe member* of the cabinet were assembled at dinner at the house of her father—Lord llarrow by—ln Orosvenor square. —lt has been known for many ysars that Ihe most fertile cause of heart dis ease Is rheumatism, says ths New York Post. Only recently ha* it been realised, however, that many cases of rheumatism which give rise lo heart complications really run so mtki a course that they are not suspected of being serious and are neglected. This I* especially true in cases which attack the very young. In children rheumatism often masquerades under the name of "growing pains." In Infants It often falls completely of recognition. It has become the custom to a lamentable degree to give for M Ihe coal-tar deriva tives. the various antl-pyretlc drugs—antl pyrtne. phenacellne and the like—besides various derivatives of salicylic acid. These drugs alleviate the rheumatic pain by be numbing Ihe nerves; they also lessen fe ver. The result of their use I* that pa tients are enabled to move about much sooner than they otherwise would, and this throws extra work on th* heart end leads lo postrheumatic heart complications which may cripple the organ for life. The recent Increase In the number of refusals of risks by life Insurance companies Is thought to be due lo this cause. Doctors here from many parts of the world depre cate the present excessive use of these drugs. I'aln Is nature's demand for rest. To allay It without reaching It* cause Is to drug the aenllnel who watches over th* ritd*l of health because hla footsteps dis turb our sleep. —A scientific discovery Is bound to be picturesque and Interesting and must at tract universal attention. A Roumanian chemist named Dlnkcreeco discovered a meins of combining the substances which are used In aenslllzlng paper for pho tographic purposes so that they can be applied to ihe human cuticle without In juring It. and the skin thus tie made a sensitive pkite for Ihe printing of pho tography. Dlnkercseo’s remarkable dis covery Is a combination of photography and the etching process, and that to some extent th* Image is "bitten" Hilo the cu ticle, says Ihe Chkngo Chronicle. At eny rale, the Impression Is permanent, the Im age Is cliar and distinct, and the skin Is not made n negative. The Impression does not wear away with the change of the tissues and the renewal of the surface of the skin because the substances or change# which have been produced by the process of photography are renewed according to the modifications produced by the "biting" process. Just as those of a tattooed outline are. And whatever the mechanical mean* employed the result* ere remarkable By this means every human being be comes e eort of photograph album! The likenesses of his friends, landscape views associated with his childhood or with sig nificant events In hi* life, portraits of the great men and heroes whom he admires, and many other things may be reproduced beautifully and permanently on his sur face. —Messrs William Fotta A Sons, th* well-known clock makers of Eng land, have Just constructed for that city whit I* claimed to be the greatest horo kgtcal achievement of the century, says •he * i The clock la a huge one, and in It are combined many features of the most remarkable clocks In Ihe world, such as those at Berne and Strashurg cathedral. Th# hug* clock dial, which I* of polished copper with the fig ur * Inscribed upon It In blue. Is flanked upon either aide by a mail-clad knight, each holding above his had a battle ax. which serve* to sirlke the gong# at the quarters and hour. Above the clock, upon a kind of perch, stands a large cockerel In front of the dial Is a mat form. When the quarter* of the hour are reached the mill-clad knights strike their gonga Immediately on the left-hand side of the dill a door opens automatically and there Issues forth a British soldier tn full uniform. When h# reaches the center of the platform he halts and salutes tn precis* military manner He then pass-* on to the left, and I* follow,d by kilted Highlander, who repeats a similar per formance when lie reaches the middle of the platform. Then come# an Irishman In the old dress of his country, brandishing a shlllelah; then a Canatflan h itman with his paddle, and finally a Hindoo, wearing hi* turban and Kiln cloth When the fig ure# have passed round the platform they disappear from s ght through another door whl. h closes automaAcaily upon the last figures' exit. Th*n the eockhlrd overhead flop* It# wrings, raises Its head and gives three lusty crow a The figures are manu factured of ropper hronxe. while many of the other parts of the clock ore con rtructed from gun metal The escapement Is the double three-legged gravity by Lord Grlmthorpe, who Is probably the greatest living authority on clocks and bells. —lt Is a matetr not simply of conve nience, eays the Engineering Magazine, bul of vital Importance, that observatories situated on the tops of high mountain* should he able to keep up constant tele graphic communication with stations at a lower level. Storms often rage for days and week* at high altitude*, with such violence as to defeat all attempt* at reaching the observers; telegraph pos'x are swept down by howling winds, and hurled under masse* of snow, while the wire* themselves frequently give wa-' un der the severity of the strain Realising Iheee difficult!©*, the nuehorltle* of Mont Plane wisely bethought themeclye* „f j„- qutrlng whether the Ice which perenlully cover* the slope* of the mountain might not posses* sufficient Insulating power to replace both telegraph pore* and porcelain Insulators. To ascertain this, some In teresting experiment* were made by R. I,esplan. at the request of Dr. Janssen, the head of the observatory. A double line waa laid between the Grand* .Mulct* at the summit and the peculiar mass of rock* known as the Petit* Millet*, near the base Ordinary galvanised Iron, an eighth of an Inch In diameter, was used. It wa* stretched bare on the Ice, the two conductor*, each of 6.M0 feet In length lying about sixteen fet apart For the purpose of testing the insulation of the line, the two wire* were left disconnected at the lower station, while at the upper they were placed In circuit with a deli cate ammeter and a battery of eighteen large laclanche cells On pressing down the key. the needle of the ammeter did not move at all. but remained steadly at It* zero The end* of the wires at the lower station were then pinned together, and when the battery wua reduced to three cell*, the needle flew at once over the limit of the scale, and remained there pointing to M mllllampre*. These two measurement* clearly Indicated that the ,4nui*Uoo of the llot waa excellent. PALATABLE, PURCHASABLE J1H1! L IB I®. Jos. A. Magnus B Cincinnati, o.
