Tammany Hall . which has long been a synonym for polit ical rottenness and corrup tion has struck sympathetic cord in Missouri. The democrats in that state are engaged just sow in organizing a secret ortler and have adopted the Tamaiiny Hall constitution. This ought to be enough todamn the order beyond the pale of respectability and show that gootl government is the natural enemy of that association. The Mormon Church has sold its newspaper, and as the Saints have gone out of the polyganij' business, and, presumably, turned their backs on the Democratic party. There is great hope for their future salva tion. The latest twin relics of bar barism have been Mormonism and democracy. Kven so polished a democrat as Dr. Miller of Omaha used to defend the mormons through the columns of his paper, THE IlEKALD.

THE CLOSE SEASON FOR SEALS The fuller iht measure of infor mation imparted concerning Ihe Hchring Sea negotiations the greater is the tribute paid to ?lr. Blaine's statesmanship.

The passage of the bill now pend ing in Parliament will close the waters of Behring Sea to British seal catchers, but it can not pass in time to have effect upon this j ear's capture of the famous fur-bearing animals. But Ihe presiden t's proc lamation will be respected 13' the North American Company, whose catch it will limit to 7.", !) skins; something near io this will be the number taken 13' the British and Canadian poachers. The reduced supply of skins will have the effect of increasing prices for ne:.t winter. But as seaL-'iins long have been the exclusive wear of the very rich, or of the ver- foolish who ape therich. no great harm will ensue. As far as warmth and beaut- are con cerned there are materials in plent3 of which cloaks to etptal those of . -alskin can be made. And it is to be considered also that the restric tion of the catch for a j-ear or two is necessarv to prevent the virtual ex :nct;on of the seal race.

This tory was written in German, and was translated for Romance In' I. Fust. One phase of life in the coal regions is the theme which engag es the pen of Daniel Dane. Besides these there is a story by the dis tinguished Spanish hovelist, Don Pedro A. de Alarcon, dealing with events in trie L-arlist war. it was translated for Romance by K. J Fagundus. Among the writers in Romance for June are Maurice Thompson, M Quad, EdwardS. Van Zile, Margaret Sutton Briscoe, Ada Cunnick jnch- bold, Acton Davies and William Wallace Cook. These are all charm ing story tellers, and they never ap peared to better advantage than they do in the magazine of the New York Story Club. The stories in the June Romance are of'all varieties. The account of a strange confession of a murder, the story of a novel duel, the des cription of a mysterious incident in the New Orleans of seventy 3ears ago, two war sketches, a railroad comedy, a romance of the Rocky Mountains, a tale of tne Pennsyl vania coal regions, a ghost stor3 two spirited biographies of heroic men, a story of the plains, one of the Carlist war in Spain, a detective stor3', the account of a remarkable wedding journey in such an as sortment as this there is surely something to interest every reader of fiction.

"1 have often thought, however, that merchants who ket p fruit stores might add largely to their revenues if they would provide tables and seats where their customers could sit and devour the when they buy it.

A Tickle That V;is Not Katf-n. "My most embarrassing e.periL-nc repeated the 3'oung ladv thoughtfully. veti, as nearivas I can remember, it was connected with a pickle. I was a guest at a dinner in Washington. It was not a very formal affair merely formal enough for the gentlemen present to wear evening dress. There was a dish of dainty pickles near rne, and I took one a baby cucumber. It was about big enough for two bites, and 1 tried to cut it with 1113- fork, when sud denly- it launched itself like a skyrocket across the table anil struck the immacu late shirt bosom of a very particular swell opposite, fairly in the middle. "I don't quite know how it could have happened so fortunate-, but conversa tion had been going on so briskly that no one save the man who had taken ine into dinner saw who was the author of the accident. I never blush, a fact, I trust, not to be set down seriously to ni3- aiscredit and I managed to so skill ful- dissemble otherwise that nobody'. with the exception I have mentioned. suspected me at all. "None of the other guests were so ill- bred as to take visible notice of the oc currence, and the talk went on almost uninterrupted, while my victim ad ministered surreptitious wipes to his manly chest in a boneless attempt to remove the stains of pickle. To this day I am unsuspected as the author of the mischief," Washington Star.

The first complete translation of the Bible into the English tongue was ef fected by John Wycliffe about 13S0. This was the Liollards Bible, and a- larj'e number of manuscript copies must have been written and circulated, for 170 copies are still in existence. There were also many transcripts of certain books. as well as of the whole Bible. Wycliffe could not go to the original texts, so he translated from the Vnlirate. or ac cepted Latin version. It was not a per- C H AS Lt feet performance; but the reformer was prevented by death from revising it, as he doubtless intended to do. The revision, therefore, was under taken by John Purvey, and completed in 1388. It is curious that the whole of Wycliffe's Bible was not printed as one book until 1850, when it was published under the editorial care of the Rev. Jo- siah Forshall and Sir Frederic Madden.
