The Editor's Table.
There's a little box ot pills , there's u heap of
lengthy j bills , there's a caustic letter from a
country reader. There 's a ticket for a stall ,
there's t another for a ball , theio's a circular
for a patout feeder. 1'iiere's a pack ol ci .tr
cites , tlieie are letteis of ivgiets , theie's a
proof I ot highly coloied lithographing ; there's
a solitary ace there'sa photo of her lace , theic
aie articles to start the angels laughing ,
Theie's a pietty ehariiiiug clock , theiv's some
western milling stock , theie aie stacks of
verocb in o crj sort ol metre ; there's a cot
ton ollice hat , there's a badly ragged mat ,
them's , a pipe-bowl than which nothing could
be sweeter. There's a gaily libboued cork ,
theie's a map ol all New York , there's a guide
tt
to Palestine and one to Russia. There's tho
latest ' opera score , there's a lump ot iron ore ,
thurs's icliesof a Harvatd base ball rusher.
Tlieie are pots of ink and glue , tlieie aie let-
teis old and new , there are piles of odd ex
changes and ot paper ; there's a narrow pair
'
ot she ais , there's a glass ot that which cheers ,
there's a double-backed and pointed paper
scraper. There's a paitly smoked cigar , there's
an ' ornamental jar , there's thu cuculatiou-
swearer's weekly fable. Oh , the sight will
tickle jou , ir jou ever catch a view of the
editor while writiug ' at his table.
Of Use to the Housekeeper.l
Gum camphor will speecdily clear the house
ol cockroaches.
In the chill of fall an ounce of flannel is
worth a pound of cough drops.
Damp salt will remove the discoloration of
cups and bauceis caused by tea and careless
washing.
Flat-irons should be washed each week be-
foi e heating them , as the stai ch sticks to them ,
aud oitcu leaves a brown mark on the linen.
After buttering the tin for a boiled pudding ,
.
dust it with pounded bread ciuiubs ; baking
pans I can be tieated with liourin tlie same way
and the cake will never stick.
The Power of the Imagination.
We It. 'arn from the New Orleans Picayune
that L.r. Durand , wishing to test tlie practical
effect or mind disease , gave a hundred patients
u dose ol sweetened water. Fifteen minutes
alter , entering apparently id great excitement ,
ho i , announced that he had by mistake given a
powerful emene , and prepaui'ious must be
made accordingly. Eighty outol the hundred
;
patients became thoroughly ill , and exhibited
the usual result of an emetic. Twenty were
unallected. The curious part of it is that , with
very lew exceptions , the eighty "emetic.zed"
vs
subjects were men , while the stiong-miiidvd
lew , who were not to be caught with chaff weie
women.
The foolish brood of half fledged politicians J
who imagined that the great republican state or
JJ
Nebraska could ne revoluti mzed by the dem
ocracy in a piesidential iear aie now rubbing
their ] heads in a dazed waj and wondering w liy
,
the political signal service didn't hoist the cold
wave Hag a month before the election. The
result ot the election has been more than sur
prising. It has been bewildering. Nebraska 0
has given a majority for tlie republican nation- jj
ai ticUetgieater than ever befo . re in herhisto
ry , w hile she has elected ev cry 1 cpublii.au conn
gressman , increased the republican majority gi
in tlie legislature , and , in spite ol bitter local
lights and Hie full usu ol democratic patron
age , has chosen the entire state tickets oy
oveiwhelming majorities.
The campaign of 188S will be remembered as
the flrst that was ever lought on a seientiflc
basis. The tariff question is aquestion of polit
ical economy , aud political oconomy is a
science. And it is a matter to be very speci
ally noted , a matter for congratulation and
philosophical reflection , that millions of Ameri
can people have been engaged much of the
tune during several months in studying the
laws of supply and demand , the purchasing B
pow ( er of wages , the natuie of commercial exg
change , th" balance or trade , the relations of
capital aud labor , the true naturo of money
and other elements which enter into that com
plex whole which we call business.
With wise legislation and administration at
Washington , the year lSDi should find from
fuur to half a dozen of the southern states
soundly converted to the party of progress and
protection. , It should also find the otherstates
dotted heie and there with republican con
grcssional districts and honeycombed with re'e '
publican ] ideas. Sew England itself is not
more vitally concerned in the ascendency of
ttnjse ideas than is the new , progressive , man
ufacturing south. If , in politics , the new-
southerners have thus far shut tbpireyesto
their own interests , they are not goiugto keep
them shut lorever.
The prohibition brethren have probably
achieved < a glorious victory in giving the elec
toral vote of New Jersev to Cleveland , and in
securing a democratic legislature in New Jer-
sey'which will send a democrat to the senate
the United States and repeal the temper
ance laws of that state. It may be that their
victory is not quite complete ; but if it is , will
not be a glorious one something to be
proud of ?
Says the Sail Fiancisco correspondent of the
New York Tribune : • 'irthc All America and
Chicago teams do not play better ball in Aus
tralia than they do here , their expedition will j
not icllect much credit 011 American skill in
the diamond. Tho games ihey have played to
gether and with California clubs have been fi
ascos , to the deep disgust of large audiences. "
In the language of Cock-cj ed Ben. "this has
been n poor year for political side-shows. "

One Woman Hung

Another [ Woman IWelted
