Cadet Whittaker may go free, and
now perhaps he will make it a point to
take better care of his ears.
England likes Moody and Sankey so
well that she has invited them to a year’s
engagement in the evangelical work.
The press of Chili thinks that country
could bounce the United States. Yes,
bounce like a rubber ball, just about.
Eashion is doing away with the long
string of bridesmaids at weddings, for
which many a fond pap)a will thank his

The good people of Chicago arc still
fighting the Sunday theatricals. Mean

move right along.
We observe by our exchanges that
contributions for Sergeant Mason’s

general throughout the country.
Bora the political parties in Cincin

Judge of the Superior Court. This is
forcing matters with a vengeance.
Cincinnati carpenters have laid out

Cardinal Manning’s doctor ordered

Statistics show that Mormons increase
their numbers, annually by immigration,

The New York Sun says Sullivan has
brought the prize ring into disrepute.
Good! Will somebody now erect a

be ennobled.
Fathionable swells in the East now
wear but one eye-glass, as do the snobs

of wearing eye-glasses is at least half

Whittaker’s ultimate aim is to be

The War Department has provided

Tnp, remarkable feature of Nicodemus,
a negro colony of 367 families, in Gra

didn’t die before drinking the water, be
cause in the latter case he’d failed to
carry out the traditional Ohio idea

you die.
The apportionment bill requires most
of the States to redistrict, and the thing
that is most irritating to both political
parties in the several States is, how it
can be done to the best political advant
age. There is little scruple as to how
outrageous a figure the redistricting will
cut on the Congressional map.
Had Oscar Wilde come to this country
in ordinary citizen’s clothes, there are
very few people who would have ever
heard of him. The secret of his fian
cial success has been in the extensive
advertising he received as a result of his
outlandish way of dressing. His ideas,
while they aro pronounced “fair to
good,” are not new, and decidedly com
mon-place for the times.
“Betty and the Baby” constitute
Sergeant Mason’s family, and in several
eastern cities contribution boxes with
these words upon them are located in
prominent thoroughfares for the recep
tion of nickels. Such a box in the
Baltimore American office received 450
nickels in one day. It seems that
“Betty and the Baby” will be taken
care of, whatever may be the fate of the
bad marksman.
Excessive drink and malaria are said \
to be very similar in their effects upon
the human system in Washington, and a
Congressman who does not have an oc
casional attack of malaria is looked upon
as a very fortunate person. If the
Potomac flats are drained as a means of
abating malarial influences, statesmen
who get sick from one cause, and doctor
for the other, will have a delightful time
explaining matters.
“Monaco, whose 10,000 inhabitants
live entirely on the profits of the gaming
tables, has 164 priests to look after its
spiritual welfare.” That statement sounds
unreasonable, and we should refuse to
believe ft had it corns from any otliu
source than the Cincinnati Gazette.
One hundred and sixty-four priests to
the 10,000 inhabitants is a fraction over
one priest to each sixty persons. And
pet all these people excepting the
priests—are gamblers ! Impossible !
Anthony Comstock is making anew
move against the lottery companies, and

two Brooklyn men who have drawn the

Ho is said to have discovered a section
of the New York revised statutes, pro
viding that all money so won shall be
forfeited to the poor in the county where
the money is deposited. The money was

drew it out, and one of them is already
on his way to Europe.
Speaker Keifer has removed Mr.
Henry S. Hayes, one of the official sten
ographers of the National House, and
appointed a Mr. Dawson, of lowa. This
change has caused general surprise, as
Mr. Hayes was one of the best sten
ographers in the country, and bis work in
committees and elsewhere about the
Capitol for years past has always given
great satisfaction. His synopses of de
bates in Congress were unequaled, and
his removal will prove a loss to Congress
and the public.
The escape of Nihilists from Siberia
is becoming quite a common thing. The
telegraph announces that a fresh lot
i have recently escaped. As the geog-
I raphy of the intervening country be
comes better understood, the number of
escapes will increase, and the alternative
left for the Russian Governnent, if it
desire to keep persons banished con
fined on a territory, will be to secure
some great island large enough for the
purpose and build a great wall around it,
upon which sentries may be placed.
The Sanitary Engineer says the dan*
ger that a midwife may carry contagious
disease from one bedside to another was
the subject recently of some remarks by
a physician to the Cleveland Board of
Health. He stated that recently, in his
practice, a German wife had conveyed
puerperal fever to three patients, all of
whom had died. The physician had
cautioned the w omen when she was at
tending the original case of the fever,
telling her she might be the means of
conveying it to others, but his word was
disregarded, and three lives, he believes,
Bacrified in consequence. The Board of
Health were sufficiently impressed by
Hie statement to instruct the Health
officer to cause her arrest under a Uw
governing the conveyance of contagious
diseases.

climatic influences. Tue incessant warm
temperature of the Lone Star State un
fits its water for drinking purposes—a
most important item to be considered by
the immigrant—while the soil is not un
iversally good farming land by a long
shot. It is, in point of fact, a grazing
country. On the other hand the climate
of Dakota is cool—-decidedly cool usu
ally—but the winter just past it has been
unusually mild in that section of the
country. Farming there is proseouted
with the greatest success, and taking all
things together, there is doubtless no

INDEPENDENTS.
[From the. Atlanta Constitution.]
Nipped in the bud. It looks like there
is no security from anything. Ours was
no second-hand orchard : we planted it
and the blooms for three years have
looked so sweet and promising, and now
this is the third year the fruit has been
killed. I suppose we could have built
little fires all about, but who knows
when to build ’em ? It is poor comfort
to build ’em when there i3 no danger.
Reckon we will just have to keep the
orchard for the flowers, like we do a
crab-apple tree, for they are mighty
pretty. One of my neighbors lives un
der the western slope of a mountain and
his fruit is never killed. He had plenty
last year, but tlie sun don’t rise at his
house till it’s about two hours high, and
that w'ouldn’t suit my folks at all. Well,
it might suit the folks but it w'ouldn’t
suit my business. It would be dinner
time before breakfast. The peach crop
is very uncertain among these Cherokee
hills but most everybody can have a few
trees around the house where they are
protected. We can’t expect to have all
the good things in our place. My Irish
potatoes were killed down the other
morning, and that hurt my feelings, for
I was a little proud that T was ahead of
my nabors. But they will come out
again, and so there is some comfort left
and a good deal of hope. Hope says
the peaches are not all killed, for a man
can’t examine all the blooms, and may
be there will be enough for the children.
That is the main thing after all; enough
for the children is what the world is
working for ; enough money, or land, or
food and clothing enough pleasure and
happiness. How we do love ’em and
worry over ’em by night and by day.
If we had no children I think I would
just quit work and toil right suddenly
and —go a fishing. But there is not
much time to frolic on a farm at this
season of the year, for my almanac says,
“About this time plant corn,” and we
are doing it all around these parts. I
can sit on my piazzer and look into five
farms and see the darkies and the mules
and hear ’em, too, and its gee and haw,
and git along Pete, and whar you gwine,
Nell, come round dar, I tell you; and
there’s uo end to th’s kind of affection
ate, one-sided discourse until the horn
blows for dinner, and then the most
knowing mules give a bray all round
Its astonishing how much they do know
and can be made to understand. I had
a big mule who would never give but
one pull at a root unless the darkey who
Flowed him hollered out “ Rotteu root,
tell you!” and then he would break
that root or something else, for he had
confidence in the nigger. It always aid
seem like there ivas a kind of confiden
tial relation between niggers and mules—
a sort of treaty of peace and equality,
for there is no other animal can stand
the darkey, and there’s no other human
can get along in peace with a mule.
When they are alone together in a big
field with long rows, the darkey talks to
him all along the line, and the mule
listens in respectful silence, but if two
darkies are plowing together they talk
to one another, and the mules are
snubbed. There is a power of corn be
ing planted this spring and not much
more than half a crop of cotton so far
as my observation goes. I hope we can
make enough food for the country, for
we can do with less clothing better than
be stinted in vittels. There is a power
of folks dependent upon the farmers and
a great responsibility upon us. Politics
raises a mighty rumpus and takes up a
sight of room in the newspapers, but
when you compare it with farming, it all
seems sorter like a monkey show that is
going on for amusement, and the farmers
feel like doing like Stewart’s Texan Ran
ger, who went to see an amateur musical
performance in Rome one night during
the war. He was a rough specimen,
feet and two inches, and a hat like
an umbrella and boots like stove pipes,
and spurs that jingled like trace chains,
a couple of navy pistols to set off his
beard, and he paid his half a dollar and
tooka stand behind an empty bench in the
lear, and looked on with a lofty con
tempt, and whenever the performers
closed a piece and the cheering began
the ranger rattled the bench most alarm
ingly and exclaimed, “souy, souy, souy,”
like he was driving bogs, and he kept it
up until he monopolized the show and
had it all to him-elf. These premature
candidates for governor, and so forth,
reminded me of Judge Lochrane’s story
of the Irishman who thought he had a
fast horse, and so he put him in the
races and bet on him. He run pretty
well, but seemed, to run better behind
than before, and the Irishman clapped
his hands with delight and exclaimed,
“ Faith and St, Patrick,' just look how
he drives ’em.” But its all right. I’m
glad to see the independents waking up.
Its all for the good of the people and
will keep the old democracy on its good
behavior. There’s nothing like having
sentinels on the watch towers. Some
times the party goes too fast, and these
independents act like a balance wheel, a
regulator, a brake—sorter like Tinny
Rucker’s yearling, for they say' when
Tinny was a boy he tried for an hour to
drive yearling out of the pasture, and
finally he got him by the tail and they
run and run and bellowed and run until
somebody hollowed to him and said:
V You can’t hold that y'carling, Tinny;
what are you trying to do ?” “ I know
I can’t hold him,” said Tinny, “but I can
make 3:lm go slow.”
Jesso. That is all these independents
are after. They don’t expect office, but
they have more abounding patriotism
than 'anybody, and are holding on to
the tail of the concern just to make it go
slow. Some of ’em, I reckon, are a little
disappointed because the train went off
and left ’em, and it don’t do any good
to laugh at ’em no matter whether they
didn’t run fast enough or started too
late. Let’s be tender with ’em, for may
be their turn will come after while, and
they will be tender with us. There are
a power of ups and downs in this world,
and in politics they are mostly downs—
especially down south. Bill Arp.
The Duke’s Death.
“Kneel here by my side, Lurline,”
and in obedience to the summons, a
beautiful girl flung herself in an aban
don of grief near the bed on which lay
the eighth Duke of Twenty-second street,
Rupert Rollingstone. Rupert was dying
—dying away out on the West Bide. A
cold had developed into a quick con
sumption. The dreaded disease bad
made known its presence while Rupert
was at the house of a friend on Lafliu
street. * ‘ You can not live more than a
week,’’ the doctor had said. “But my
people, ’ cried the sick man, in an agony
of fear; “they are on Twenty-second
street, and too poor to hire a carriage.
How si? *ll I see them?” and be wrung
bis bands in an agony of despair.
“It cannot be done, my lass,” said
the street-railway superintendent lock
ing down kindly into Lurlindc race.
“I would gladly do aught might
ease the last moments of a dying man,
but I can not accomplish impossibilities.
A car from Twenty-second street to the
corner of Laflin.jnd Van Buren in five
days? By my halidom, you jest brave
ly,” and, picking up a pair of shears, he
again resumed liis occupation of cutting
coupons from government bonds. When
Lurline had knelt by tlje dying man, he
turned to her and spokt? “Lurline, my
darling,” he said, “lam dying down.
I shall soon be in the sweet pretty quick.
But ere I start, I taant you to make me
one promise—a Slcred one, that you
will keep forever.” “Name it,” said
the girl, iu a sob-choked voice. ‘ ‘ When
ever you are in a hurry, avoid the street
car.” “I promise,” was the reply.
Rupert’s face lit up with a sweet, peace
ful smile. “Good-bye, my angel.”
“ Bung soir,” was tlie faint response, as
the girl’s head fell on bis breast amid a
storm of sobs. “I see heaven,” mur
mured the dying man. “I know it is
heaven, because there are lots of street
cars, and they run every three minutes. ”
Rupert was dead. —Chicago Tribune.
A New Church Beneficiary.
Anew scheme has broken out among
the Eastern churches to provide for
“ God’s poor.” Each church is buying
a farm, to which poor people are sent to
work out their salvation in fear and tur
nip patches. This combination of re
ligion and rutabagas is certainly a happy
one, and ought to come into general
practice. Steady work on a farm cannot
but be far more preferable to the poor
of a church than good advice and fine
conversation, that is now lavished upon
them - regardless of cost. There is
always something on a farm that any
body can do, and do well, aud that will
be worth good wages, if the laborer is
fairly remunerated, and a church society
would be sure to do this. Then, in the
fall, when the golden harvest was gath
ered, the church members would of
course give their patronage to their own
farm aad lay in their winter supply of
potabies, carrots, beets, onions, etc.,
from their own vines and figtrees, so to
speak. The report of the Superintend
ent would show whither the farm was
drifting financially, and if it needed any
fertilizing top-dressing in the way of a
mortgage. Ministers whoso health is
poor, from hard study and overwork,
instead of being sent on an expensive
tour to the Holv Land, could be trans
planted from the stifling atmosphere of
the study to the beautiful air of the
balmy, breezy country, and set to rais
ing cucumbers on the farm. The exer
cise would do them good, even if they
did not raise enough cucumbers for a
mess, and what the church lost on cu
cumbers it would more than save on
traveling expenses. It seems to us as
though the true plan of salvation has
been struck at last. It is not through
any of the five hundred different plans
advocated by the five hundred different
churches, but through the modest cauli
flower, the lowly ouion and the golden
crookneek summer squash.—Peck’s

The Cannibals’ Good Points. *
Since everybody, including Judas and
Nero, have their apologists, the Feejee
cannibals are now declared not to be so
black as they are painted. In the fii st
place, they had, in the way of flesh,
nothing but each other to eat. Except
flying foxes and rats, there were no four
footed animals on the islands. The pres
ent names of their domestic animals be- |
tray a European origin, collie, for dog;
pussi, for cat; ose, for horse ; secpi, for
mutton; goti, for goat; and bullama
how, for beef. The wooden spoons for
human broth, and cannibal forks, eight
een inches long, with four or five prongs,
are still in existence. A berry, resem
bling a tomato in shape and color, was
the special and proper vegetable to bo
eaten vith “long pig.” One of the
chieftains lately said he would like to
see a woman who would not eat her full
share, and declared that human flesh
was ever so much better than pork
“ Long pig” was sometimes made into
puddings. When a friendly neighbor
ing tribe visited another, the chief of
the latter would make a raid among his
enemies, and bring back women enough
to make a feast for Ins visitors. Fifty
and eighty people were served at some
|of these feasts. Formerly, when one
sneezed, they said, “May you club
| somebody.” Now they say, “Bless
you,” or “ May you live long !” Chief
tains wore distinguished by the number
I of persons the/had eaten. Before he
I was converted to Christianity, one of
these had devoured forty-three of his
| fellows.
