Brunswick (irmly, yet serenely, takes ‘
in an extra reef on the slack of her 1
skirts and prepares to set the pace I

begins to simmer, sizzle and other

boiling point, still the weather clerk
continues at his old trick?.

The editor of The Brunswick
Post has been going it alone this
week. He has acted as editor, re
porter, business manager “and all,”
aud he has covered himself with
glory. Constitution. ] Thanks,
brother, but glory in this instance
comes too high, and the editor of
The Post is happy to announce that,
after hve long days of going it alone, )
he is now relieved of all save the
business management. There may
be a fight or two yet to come from
last week’s work, but the new man
has agreed to take the position and
settle anything that may come up [
from the past.
A TRUST BADLY SQUEEZED.
The indications are that the cot
ton oil combine is about on its last
legs, and if the heretofore complacent
stockholders don't go down deep
enough in their pockets and chip in
four million dollars on pretty shortl
notice, there is a good prospect of .
the octopus being laid out by a dose |
of its own medicine. The Alliance’s |
hard earning# of their own, invested j
in oil mill enterprises claim,put on a I
guage smile at this informa-1
tion. and even claim that another
“trust” scalp is dangling from their
• belt.
The American Cotton Oil Co., as
1
the trust is known to the trade has . (
recently been a heavy borrower in
New York. In fact among the re-)
cent callers on Secretary Windom ,
with reference to the present finan .
cial tie-up, were several Standard , <
Oil magnates also high up in the 1
cotton oil clique. What resulted from 1
this interesting confab has not been ; ,
disclosed. It is appearent however i
that immediate relief could not be
counted on from that pliant tool ol '
. Wall street, and the next move on (
- tbejiart of the trust is to touch up .
the stockholders, who during the
first two vearu of operations gather
ed fat dividends. From two and a
hdlf million profit < annually in 1887
and 'BB, the trust's exchequer for the
past year shows about one twentieth
of that amount.
This showing is explained to the
•lockholders on the score of “hostile
lesislation, ail verse litigation and
other wave complication.” It re |
mains to be seen whether the clique
can tide over the difficulty, or the
trust go to swash. •

He Liven by Lying.
Ed Mott, author of “Tho Old Set- i
tier Sketches” which have appeared
in the columns of The New York Sun
day Bun during tlie past fifteen years, i
is short, stout and old fashioned. He is 1
about 40 years old. Mr. Mott has the
enviable reputation of being ‘‘a most
polished garnishor of the truth.” As a
writer of snake, coon, eel, bear, deer,
trout, chub, rat and bull head stories
he stands unrivalled in American jour
nalism. He was born in Pike county,
Pa., and what he does not know about i
that locality is hardly worth knowing.
Out of his prolific bruin lie manages to ■
earn about SI,OOO a year, nine tenths of
ids work being pure fiction of the most
delightful kind. In journalism Mr.
Mott is known as possessing the rare
and enviable faculty of always having,
as they say, a “nub” to his stories.—
Current Literature.
What the World Needs.
Tlie manager of a traveling show,
who had a philosophy of Ids own and a )
language of his own in which to ex- ■
press it, advertised for a double somer- !
sault performer.
There were about fifty applicants.
One said he “used” to do the act, but :
was a little out of practice. Another )
thought he could soon “get there.” i
And so tho story ran. ■
Tho manager was filled with disgust.
“Twenty-five ‘used to be's,’” he said,
“and twenty five ‘going to be’s,’ and
not an ‘is-er’ in the whole lot. I want
an ‘is-er. ’ ” —Youth’s Companion.
ICeifu of Terror Among Beggar*.
An in Naples made*a bet
with some yWung Italians that he could j
set all the lame aud paralyzed beggars '
crouching hi a certain corner of that :
city on a “dean run.” Matters having ,
been arranged the Englishman retired,
and after a while eame rushing wildly
round the nearest corner, followed by
a rabble, shouting: “The tiger is loose! ,
The tiger is coming.” etc., and daahisl
madly past the beggars, who in their
terror forgot their professional trickery
and leaping to their feet tied with the
crowd.—London Tit Bits.
Faith hi the Clergy.
A Newport youngster showed faith
in tlie clergy of the old fashioned sort i
during a shower. When the wind be |
gun to smash in the windows, and the
air waa full of dust, pebbles and sticks, I
tlie Isiy looked up to his father and -
said, "Pupa, I wish tlie minister was
here. ' —Lewiston Journal. ■

HJE EVENING POST: MONDAY, SEPiEMBER 15. 1890.
She Waa Prepared aud Me Moved Ou.
A woman opene£ a front door, and
addressing a soiled nnn who. down on
) all fours, was seemingly looking for
something, said:
."Wh-it are you doing there?”
"Madam.” he said, straightening up,
“please lx- so generous as to pardon this
i ap[>arent intrusion. My little girl and
I were coming along here just now, and
) the child, in her gay frolicsomeness, ran
aero <• your greensward, but in her glad
forgetfulness dropped a silver dollar
that luid been given her by the hand
somest and noblest of women. We
were on our way to get a doll for my
other little girl, that is sick in lied, and
it would have done your heart good to
have seen the happiness of tlie little
would-be purchaser —but site lost tlie
money, and now. almost heartbroken. :
she lias gone home to tell her mother
of the great calamity.”
“That was indeed too bad,” said the
woman.
“Yes, madam; and if I could only
hope—have you any little children,
madam f'
"Y'es.”
“Then you know what disappoint- 1
merit means to a child. If I only knew !
where I could borrow a dollar bow in
expressibly happy I should lie. Madam,
could yon let me have a dollar?"
“No, not tliis morning.’’
“Well, could you let me have 50
cents now and give me the other lialj
this afternoon ?’’
“No. I can't do that either.”
“Well, madam, may I ask what you >
are prepared to do?”
“l am prepared to tell you to move i
on away or I'll send for a policeman.”)
“You are thoroughly prepared for
this, are you?”
"I am."
“All right; I shall bid you good
morning. It -is one of my business rules
never to tamper with any one that is j I
thoroughly prepared.”—Chicago Her | I
aid. _ _ 1
Magnanimity.
The magnanimous man will be a
great man intrinsically—that is, he
wijl have something within him that
will raise him above what is petty and
trifling. In everything he will prefer
the greater to the less, the higher to
tlie lower, the better to the worse. And
tliis he will do not so much a |
•sense of duty and by a self-denying es
fort as from a simple love and prefer
ence for the good. If, for instance, lie
is called to choose between a successful
stroke of business and a truthful state
ment he cannot hesitate; all his im
pulses tend to the latter as the greater
of the tw’o satisfactions. If he must
decide between persona) comfort or
ease ami the helping of a neighbor in
distress his warm sympathies forbid a
moment’s doubt. If he is offered some
much prized luxury in exchange for a I
little meanness of conduct lie refuses it
witli scorn. Such things are no temp-'
I tation to him, because his mind at once
gauges their comparative unworthiness
and liis heart recoils from them.—New
York Ledger.
Speed of » Locomotive.
In regard to the much discussed
question as to tlie rapidity witli which .
a locomotive can run, some interesting
i official figures have been given by Mr.
■ Stretton, an eminent English engineer,
showing briefly that tlie highest speed
! ever accurately taken, was with a Bris- [
j tol and Exeter broad gauge engine,
having nine foot wheels, and which
■ was, as long ago as 1853, officially
' timed at a speed of just over eighty
miles an hour for a short distance, this :
j occurring in the case of a falling grad
: ient and with a light load.
i lie also distinctly asserts that this ,
speed is the maximum that can possi- .
bly lie obtained with locomotives of the '
present type, tlie cause of this being,
he declares, that at such a speed as
that the resistance of the air, tlie back
pressure in tlie cylinders and tlie fric
tion altogether have become so great
that they absorb tlie whole power of
the engine, while the pressure on tlie
wrong side of the piston becomes great
ly increased by the fact that the ex
haust steam cannot be got out of the
cylinders fast enough.—Electrical Re
view.
Silk from Old Papers.
The inventor of the process to make
silk out of paper pulp claims that tho
silk resembles very closely the natural
sKk. It is smooth and brilliant, and
tlie filament has a strength about two
thirds that of silk, but still sufficient for
all practical purposes. The elasticity
is about the same as that of natural
silk, and the thread has a superior bril
liancy. Tlie process has been wonder
fully bettered of late. —New Y’ork
Journal.
