John W. Bookwalter, the Springfield, Ohio, millionaire, proposes to sail for Asia again in ApriL His health is better there than at home. Mr. Ivins, the Chamberlain of New York City, thinks that the Presidential election in 1884 cost that cit- $1,000,000 In election expenses. Henry Ward Beecher once took indoor exercise by shoveling from one end of his cellar to the other a load of sand which he had put there for the purpose. A party of Russians caught in a blizzard in one of the new counties of Dakota used their sleds for fuel, and for three days feasted on mule meat, their only provision. As the mule cost them . $75 they lived lilghr "Whenever a blindly addressed letter with "Hopper street" on it gets into the dead-letter office, it is at once sent to Utica, N, Y., because that is the only city in the country that is known to have a Hopper street A bureau of mending has Been started in New York, and bachelors need no longer sew on buttons with thread of the wrong color and throw away stockings after a single wearing. Mothers, sisters and wives may also find relief there. The Rev. Robert Hall was once asked how many sermons he could prepare in a week. He replied ; "If he is a man of pre-eminent ability, one ; if he is a man of ordinary ability, two: if he is an ass, six." The students of the Uuiversttyof Penn sylvania have adopted the mortarboard cap and black gown of Oxford because it is so "decidedly English doncher know." The big pockets in the gowns are found so very convenient for hiding notes and extracting book pages on ex- amination day. Six miles from Mackinaw, 111., is a bit of ground about eight feet square that is always so warm that snow melts as soon as as it falls upon it. It is said that when the earth there is disturbed it Hash es like burning powder, and that a pecu liar gas comes up from the ground, which so far has shattered every vessel in which an effort has been made to con fine it. Some of the boys, just for fun, got an old darky to run for Burgess, at Sharon, Pa. On election day he appeared on the streets mounted on a white horse, whi .h was loaded down with bells and red, white and blue ribbons, while his rider was togged out in white plug hat; linen duster, and covered with ribbons . The joke took so well that he came within a few votes of being elected. The best joke of the season is the tele gram of the Secretary of the Navy, warn ing the United States nave to keep out of the way and not interfere with the race between the Coronet and Dauntless. Whether the Seceetary was afraid of im peding the race or the sinking of the navy has not transpired. Brewers and other interested parties are boasting that their little contribution of $100,000 has been placed where it will do the most good in the New York Legisla ture, and will down high license. Ad vance notice as to the purchaseable vote of the Empire State Legislature is a. little cheeky. The honest granger who lately repres ented a part of New York and Nebraska j City and the Kneval's "purchasers" in the senate has put up a swindle for the benefit of green congressmen probably. He is j trying to sell his house in Washington, that the Omaha Bee made affidavit was not worth to exceed sixteen thousand dol lars, for $65,000. Beware of him. The People' Journal mentions the names of seven colored men of Jackson ville, Fla., who are worth over $100,000 each, thirteen others who are worth $75, 000, and twice that number who are rated at over $50,000 each. It says all these men were penniless twenty years ago. It certainly speaks well for the thrift of the colored people of Florida Two thousand saw workers at Indiana polis struck on a rumor that wages were to be reduced, for which there appears to have been no foundation. The laborer who will quit work on the strength of an idle say-so, is a fool, and for being one should be compelled to beg from house to house for a crust and to sleep on the soft side of a wooden platform until next winter. Topics. Cleveland is still cudgelling his small brain endeavoring to pick out a railroad commission that will be of assistance to him in getting a renominatlon. The last news is that having perspired over forty days as to what democrat he could find in New York who would not be an eyesore from a factional point of view, he has come to the conclusion that it will not do to appoint any democrat from that state, and now he is trying to find a mugwump that he can pass off for a republican, and has his eye on ex-Pcstmaster-General James.

Mr. Armour has instructed his agent at Akron, Ohio, to establish meat shops, and if necessary in the fight with the boy cotters, give the meat to the people. Sir Henry Tichborne will come of age in May next, and will enter upon the .pos session of his much "claimed" estates, which will pay him a net income of about $45,000 a year. A young lady in Chicago has papered the walls of her bedroom with the enve lopes she has received for the last few years: As these are of various sizes and colors, and have a variety of handwriting" and postage stamps, the effect is very quaint. A New York society woman has order ed a coffin made for a dead parrot to be kept in her parlor. It is of rosewood, lined with white satin and eovered with plate glass, throngh which the parrot, properly prepared by a taxidermist, is to be seen lying on its side. A citizen of Ionia, Mich., while stand ing with rubbers on an ice doorstep, sud denly lost the power of walking. He nearly fainted from terror, thinking he was paraly zed. Upon discovery that his rubbers wero frozen to the doorstep he felt better. Mrs. Ruth Smith, ol Bridgeport, Conn., one of the few persons who keep faith in blue glass cure, which excited the country a few years ago, lives under blue glass and has not left her blue glass home in eight years. She never has an .ache of any kind. A scare has in among the porrett citi zens of Calcutta. Some ill-disposed per son has circulated the rumor that the Sir kar requires a large number human heads for the jubilee celebration, and, there is dismay in consequence among the low cast people whose heads would be natur ally the cheapest. The Pennsylvania hair stealer is again abroad. His latest victim is Annie Her ring, of Reading, who going out of the kitchen door at 5 o'clock in the morning was knocked down. She fainted, and when she recovered found that she had lost her thick brown locks. A man purchased two old pictures from a second-hand furniture dealer in Nash ville, Tenn., recently for one dollar each. Afier cleaningthem he discovered they were famous pictures by Carle Vernet. He sold them for $14,000 to a collector, who has sent them to Paris. A writer in Trulh, London, says the German emperor looks, when he walks as if he did not feel the ground nnder him ; but otherwise he is the picture of health. The fresh face with the snowy hair and whiskers is like the sunset in the AIpe, in which rose color is set round with dazzling white. The hired girl of a Marinette, Wis., family frequently used kerosene to start the kitchen fire. As she would not give up the practice, the man of the house filled the can with water. Breakfast was about two hours late the next day and the girl's excuwe was that she had left the woodshed door open and snow covered all the wood. The faculty of Pardue university, of Lafayette, Ind., have made the startling discovery that a number of the students are addicted to gambling, and have a room in the dormitory fitted up with poker and faro attachments. All hands have been called, but, it being the first offense, t he offenders escaped with a severe repri mand. A party of Twelve Hondurian students have arrived in New York for the pur pose of studying American customs, with a view to introducing them into Honduras the home government paying all their ex penses. The first day of their arrival "they took in Tony Pastor's show and drank the choicest wine of the Hoffman House." The Honduras authorities sent their students to a poor school when thej' chose New York City. Capt. Paul Boyton recently decided to attempt the feat of making his way iishore in his rubber suit from a vessel 100 miles out at sea. One day last week he boarded the pilot boat Loubat and proceeded to sea. When about fifty miles out the weather became so severe that the cap tain's courage visibly ebbed away. When the one hundred mile point was reached he took a look at the big waves and abandoned the attempt. The Lou bat came in yesterday bringing both Boy ton and his suit. General Master Workman Powderly told Miss Willard that if she would fur nish 95,000 copies of her petition for Pro tection of Women, he send them to sis many local labor assemblies asking for signatures. She has done so. On her return to Philadelphia she is to address the women of the Knights of Labor. Purify Your Blood. If your tongue is coated. If your skin is yellow or dry. If you have boils.

Col Gilder indignantly denies the re port that his expedition to the north pole has been abandoned. He returned to New York in person to attend to some business matters, leaving his assistant in the Hudson Bay country to perfect ar rangements for another forward move ment towards the pole.. The Col, ia en thusiastic and says that he is confident that his plans will succeed, and that he will ulternately reach, the north pole. Figures are wonderful things. Here is a sample of what can be done with them : By placing one grain of corn on the first sguare of a chess board, doubling the number for each suceeding square, the quantity of corn required for the whole board of sixty-four squares would ffll 1,844,375 barns, each holding 1,000,000 bushels of 100,000 grains each, in round numbers. If the United States grows 1,800,000,000 bushels each year, it would require a little over 550 years to make enough. Baltimore Methodist. . Something of the cost of putting the Detroit Club in the field and carrying it through last year is shown by the follow ing figures: Cost of the big four, $7,000; Dunlap .$4,000; all other players bought, $3,000, expenses in getting them, $1,000; salaries. $40,000: traveling and other ex penses, $10,000; total, $65,000. During the season the club played to nearly 500, 000 spectators. When the se:ison opened it had a debt of $21,600, but this wjis paid off before the middle of theseason. The whole profit of the club was derived from the games played away from home. From the recent explanation by Mr. Powderly, it appears that the costly fur niture now in use at the Knights of Labor rooms in Philadelphia was purchased ith the property. Mr. Powderly chuck les over the bargain they made, and boasts that they "can sell for $10,000 more than the purchase money." If this is true; Mr. Powderly's crowd would make more to go into real estate and stop all strikes. Tell me not in mournful numbers, that the town is full of gloom, for the man's a crank who slumbers, in these bustling days of boom.

"Washington special: Naval -officers generally are much pleased with the opinion given by the attorney-general that the new cruisers can be completed with the balance of general appropria tions, provided the estimates of the naval advisory board are Uot exceeded. It is believed that the total cost of finishing the engineering work on the Chicago will be $46,000 less than the estimate, and in the case of the Boston and Atlanta, $15, 000 and $18,000 respectively. The Bos ton, now at New York will be ready for a trial trip within a few weeks. The Chi cago is not sis far advanced as the other cruisers, but the engines have been prac tically finished, and only a small amount of construction work remains to be done.

It is one of the rifidest rules in all the social economy of tho Capital that the wife of the President shall not accept attention from any gentleman outside of the Cabinet, but Mrs. Cleveland is tramp ling on that ride- She goes out to ride with Mr. W. W. Corcoran, the venerable philantropist, who recently celebrated his 88th birthday and has been a guest at "his house. The President's bride has no warmer admirer than the old gentleman, who seems unable adequately to express his admiration. She has another atten tive follower in the person of George Bancroft, who seems to bo Mr. Corcoran's rival. He has not been jout to ride with her so often, but keeps sending her flow ers. All attentions to the President's wife are barred to gentlemen less than 80 years old. Begg-s Cherry Cough Syrup Will relieve that cough almost instantly and make expectoration easy.
