A Newspaper Transfer. Hkatkice, Nb., May 9. M. A. Metz- ger, secretary and treasurer cf the Ex press publishing company, has just sold his interest in that plant to Dr. F. Smers, of this city. The doctor is somewhat noted as a humorous writtr, and it is said that the "Wayside" articles that have lattly been running in the Express are from his pen. Methodist Conference. Xew York, May 8. Bishop Walden of Chattanooga presided over the delib erations of the Methdist Episcopal con ference today. Dr. Buckley of New York moved and it was carried, that in asmuch as the lady delegates who were elected to the conference had been ruled out yesterday their fares to und from their destination should be paid by the general conference. The question came up as to the right or vv . a. Shannon to represent the Mon tana conference. His scat had been con tested by F. A. Riggins. The record as t now stands in the minutes of the con ference says Mr. Shannon was legally elected. A bombshell will be thrown into the huhop's camp tomorrow. Ex-Lieut. Goy Cumback, of Indiana, it was reported to day, would make a motion limiting the oflice of bishop to eight years. Hitherto the office has been for life. Houses Caving In. mAKT, Neb., May 9.

Work will be commenced in Fl Paso in a short tjfe on a Federal building for a Post Office and Custom House, for which an appro priation of $150,000 has been made by Congress The site selected for the building is near the center of the city, on St. Louis and Oregon streets, and is still occupied at present by an extensive old adobe str;ictiirc one stry high, poy enng an entire Mock, into winch are crowded together several hundred Chi nese and where all their peculiar indus tries are pursued. There are plenty of laundries in the rambling old building, a number of groceries, joss houses, Chi nese physicians' headquarters, while it was gei.erul?r knpwj f.hat opium smok ing and fan tan plaving was being ear: ricd on at a colossal rate, but the latter unlawful pursuit could never be traced to the building. The last few days or ders haye bsen giyen by the former own ers of the land that the building must be Tacoted so that the property could be turned over to the United States. This order has created the greatest consterna tion among the Chinese inhabitants, and they $.rc 3? terrible an uproar as a bee- hiye is when a foreign animal intrudes into it. The pause of this scare h-s just leaked out. The whole of the region has beau undermined by secret tunnels and exca vated rooms, in which not only opium- smakipg and gambling has been carried on but other dark" deeds perpetrated, without the white population of the cit ies and even tun owners ff the real estate having suspicions of what was going on. It is said that the Chinese have been in the habit of keeping the bodies of those of their countrymen who died in these sulterancan chambers, and boiled the skeletons clean of flesh, and then send ing tlieui earful! packed in trunks to Sun Francisco, as occasion offered, for transhipment to China for the perma nent burial. When in a few days from now the buildings are torn down and the ground excavated for foundation of the massive structure that is to stand there, develop ments will le made that will astonish this community. Lust year a Chinese laundry standing near the track at the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot burned down at night, and when the next morn ing persons repaired to the spot they saw underneath what had been the floor of the dwelling ft vast excavation, in which the charred remains cf the mass of gam bling paraphernalia were visible. The owner of the lot from whom the Chinese rented the building had not been aware of the secret chamber which bis tenants had conetrncted. A War on Tramos. Oakland, Neb., May 9. The city council met last night and ordered the city marshal to immediately commence war against the numerous tramps who are daily visiting the town in large numbers and in some instances making violent threats when not given something to eat. They will be arrcstcrt and placed in the cooler with compulsory fasts as long as it proves conducive to their health, and will also be put at work on tho streets. .A Plucky Woman. Gkesuam, Pa., May 9. Last night three burglars entered tho house of Mrs. Mary Reynolds. The lady was alone, but picked up a hatchet and for a while pluckily kept the robbers at bay. One qf the more adventerous, however, attempT ed to seize her arm and was struck sense less to the floor by a blow from the hatch et. He was hurridly dragged from the house by his confederate, who made tlieir escape, tonight the wounded robber 13 lying at the point of death at Hydetown. His skull is cracked and he cannot live.

Hi j name was a household word. He was the projector and owner of Graham's Maga zine. Although writer of grace and force, Mil Graham navei- made aiiV uretence to be. 6tricfly speatingj a. literary man, but ho was a generous employer, and in many instances was also the discoverer of our best known and greatest writers. He was the first; Amcr- lm puutisner k pay respectable prices ior. litefary wares. ' 'Bayard Taylor' whose earli est poenjs he published, was amazed when Graham tendered him a $25 cbepk fop twq poorly prized poetics effusions." For "bis ?:$panisb Student" Longfellow received 150 from Mr. Graham, and for "The Village Blacksmith" $50. Fenimore Cooper once ealled on him in answer to a note. Graham Wanted him to write ten naval stories. "I can't write for you," said Cooper, rather contemptuously, adding, "you can't pay me enouzh," I'How much do you want for each story!" asked Graham. ''One hundred dollars in advance," was Cooper's reply, pausing before uttering the two last words, as if he thought' they Would end the matter. Without a moment's hesita tion Graham wrote out and handed Cooper a check for $1,000. The "stories were written and published, but Mr. Graham believes they did his magazine no special good. Hid fania as a large handed publisher spread, however, and did him great service. His friends told! him his liberality would ruin him. Qn the contrary, it won him a fortune in a few years, as he confidently expected it would. Mr. Graham is now 7o years old. For three years he has been an inmate of an ophthalmio hospital. Ila had cataracts removed from both eyes. For two years he was totally bund, but thanks to good treatment his sight has been partially restored, and he has left the hospital to begin life anew. He has made and lost two fortunes, and now at the age of nearly four-score years he is about to take up his pen and try to make a new for tune. He is not at all cast down, although he baan't a pinny a his name. The restora tion of his eyesight has made hirn as happy as a boy chasing: a butterfly. This sadden restoration to the light of day, after a period of nearly five years of partial and total blind ness, (a Jjke a new birtn it is being born again; toe happiness of early manhood is being restored, and old age itself is nnf elt. It is a renewal of youth and of hope for the future. New York Mail and Express. Ura Who Thrive on Small ZU aud ulck galea, jeae section of this city has from memorial been curiously infested by -ddly original and enterprising crowd "VU traders, speculator and other nd Vt. STurera with whom slight profits and quick sales are a maxim. It is not only the shoo string peddlers and such like cheap jacks who thrive by going fromrofliee' to oflice, but men of almost every craft ' While I was in one office the other day a peripatetic phrenolo gist came in and wanted to feel our bumps. In another I found a corn doctor planing down the tenant's feet. At another still, a vagrant sleight-of-hand performer did some tricks and passed around the hat, and barbers, furniture menders, glaziers, carpenters and painters travel about in search of jobs and probably find them. There is scarcely anything a man cannot buy down town in the course of a week, with out leaving his oflice. Tailors' agents will measure him for clothes, to bo made here or iu London. Venders will supply him with hats and boots and underclothing; he can buy cigars and song birds, and beer and dogs, una wnisuy ana seaiKi!is tor !-.. v.-.io, .. i toys for the youngsters, from tho vantage ground of his oflice chair. There are drum mers who go about scaring up trade for shirt manufacturers, and others who ofTer building lots, and houses, and furniture for sale on the installment plan, while as for tho Una arts and literature they have their agents everywhere, ready to deal for cash or credit, as occasion may demand. The customers of these venturesome trades men are not drawn from the highest rank3 of trade. It is as impossible for a peddler to get at a givat financier, or lawyer, or mer chant as it would bo for him to enter the kingdom of heaven by climbing a telegraph polo. But thero are thousands of men who are engaged in minor businesses, running offices of their own and easily accessible to the public as It passes, and upon these tho peddlers prey, w it goes a great way toward making traJe. The vender who can talk well and crack a joke with facility will pros per even in the worst of times. There is ono young fellow who sells writing pads alone among the artists and other independent oc cupants of downtown offices, who might own quite a guug bank account by this time if ho saved the money he picks up. But, liko most of his kind, thare is a shiftless streak in him, and he does not try over hard to sell his wares when he does not actually need money. This seems to bo tho weakness of all of these vagabond industrials. Sufficient for the day is tho good thereof, and a niplo for the man is that fortune which leeps his wants of tho hour supplied. Thero do not seem to bo as many women among these random mer chants as there once were. Even the female book agent is not as numerous as she used to be. But the number of men so busied con tinues to increase with years and, to all ai pearances, to grow in prosperity .iux lima, too. Anreu r-rurrtbi& u cw Voik News. Exercise for the Bilious. As a simple illustration take the man of sedentary occupation prone to what is called, biliousness. Ho is assured that ha -ieds ex ercise, and so eutars upon tho practice of walking four or five miles, or even longer distances, daily. He improves, it cannot but bo a benefit to him. Still, were he to devote a part of the time given to walking to a moie varied form of exercise, ho would find it Ifcia of a task and, the gain etiil greater. To got tho greatest good out of a walk one must fling his arms around and so carry himself as to bring every muscle of the body into play. But few people would care to indulge in s1; an exhibition on a public strpet, una m when the renrsl;tj; ol iuem walk they do so almost entirely 'with their legs, in other words, only the lower half of the body is much exercised.. The bilious patient, especially, peuia to ese cise all parts alike, an sq draw ths blood from, fha lives into, tEemuscidar system, i-e-jfcpngjiijit Important organ, which is more or less congested. Again, to mechanically compress the liver and assist it to empty itsslf is necessary. When a man rides hornebic!;, tiib liver' is actually churned, as it wereand that is why bilious patients derive so much benefit from that peculiar form of exercise. If a man who walks four or five miles a day could, give no longer timo to physica v;ork thai that, he would do fetter if Lq walked half ihp distauco and spent what remained of Lis" time in a gymnasium, or in sawing wood.

It is not generally known that the grain of a Swedish razor 13 so sensitive that its general direction is changed after a short service. When you buy a (Ine razor the grain runs from the upper end of the outer point in a diagonal direction toward the handle. Constant stropping wiii twist the 6te,g uiii ti grain appears to set straight up and down. Subsequent use will drag '.he grain outward from tho edge, bo that after steady use for Ferera mouths the fiber of th? sic-cl ux-upics a position exactly reverse to that which ap peared on the day of purchase. The pro cess also affects the temper of the blade, and when the grain sets from lower Q'.;ter end toward the lack vau have a tool which cannot be kept in c&ndition by th most conscientious barber. But here's auother freak of nature. Leave the razor alone for a month, and when you take it up you will find the grain has resumed its first position.
