Wiggins predicts an earthquake in California between now and October. President Cleveland should be making arrangements, therefore, to sustain an other serious financial blow. The last earthquake cost him $20, it will be re membered. Globe Democrat. If the delegation from the State of New York enters the great convention hall with Governor David 15. Hill at its head, bearing tin Cleveland banner, there will not Ixrroom in St. Louis for the enthusiasm that would at once be aroused. (The Buffalo Times. Ah, yes, Hill, the great apostle of tem perance reform, carrying the banner of Cleveland, the great apostle of Civil Service Reform, would doubtless create a tensation in St Loui, especially if he was attended by Garland, the great apos tle of "public office is public trust." But it is a mistake to suppose that there would not be room in St. Louis for the "enthusiasm" that would be aroused. It is said that most of the St. Louis saloons are furnished with ample . cellars, and they ought to ba equal to any demand for enthusiasm which the delegates will make noon them. N. Y. Tribune. There are fivo powerful reasons why Judge Grcsham will be a formidable candidate before the Chicago convention and irresistable before the people. These reasons are: 1 He was born in a log cabin and fought his way to the front by the man hood that is in him. 2 lie was a bra ye brilliant soldier for the Union, and carries five rebel bullets in his body. 3 He is a man of unimpeachable in tegrity, too great to be a tool, too fair to be a narrow politician. 4 He represents no clique, no feuds, no dead weight, but is a man the masses could rally around as a friend, a true representative of the higher principles and genius of our republican institutions. 5 He is from a pivotal state. Not another of the candidates named possess such an array of popular qualities such a passport to the hearts of the peo ple. Joined with the brave and chivalrous Hawley. the republicans would have two standard bearers that would lead to a brilliant victory and sweep th democracy from the field as Grant and Sherman swept Bragg from Mission Ridge. Lin coln News. I AM A REPUBLICAN. KOBEItT INOERHOLL'S FAMOUS STATEMENT OF HIS POLITICAL FAITII. "I am opposed to the democratic par ty, and want to tell you why. Every er dinance of secession ever drawn vru done by a democrat. Every man that tried to tear the old flag down was a democrat. Every enemy this Republic has had for 2 years was a democrat. Every man that starved Union soldiers refrusing them a crust in the extremity of death, was a democrat. The man that assinatcd Abraham Lincoln was a democrat. Eyery man that sympathized with the assassin every mfH that was glad that the noblest President ever elected was dead was democrat. Ev ery man that wanted the privilege of whipping another man to make him work for nothing and pay him WTth lashes on his naked back, was a demo crat. Every man that raised . blood hounds to pursue human beings was a democrat. Every man that clutches babies from the breasts of shrieking, shuddering, crouching moth ers and sold them into slavery was a democrat. Every man that swore he would never pay tlio bonds, every man that swore he never would redeem the greenbacks, every maliguer of his coun try's credit, culuumiater of his country's honor was a democrat. Every man that cr.rsed Lincoln because he issued the Emancipation Proclamation was a dem ocrat. Every man who believed a state could get out of the Union at pleasure, every man who believed the grand fab ric of American Government could be made to ciumble instantly into dust at the touch of treason was a democrat. Every man who tried to burn asylums in the city of New York was a democrat. Every man who tried to fire New York was a democrat although ho knew thousands would perish, and that the great serpents of flames leaping from one building to another, would clutch child ren from their mother's arms every wretch that did it was a democrat. Rec collect it ! Every mau that tried to spread the smallpox and yellow fever in the North was a democrat. Soldiers, every scar you have on your heroic bod ies was given you by a democrat. I am a republican." An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be afflicted? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was comparatively un known, today it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is used with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria arc intended to cover what our grandfathers called Biliousness, aud all are caused by troubles that arise froji a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreci ate a cure. We recommend Green's An gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous. Beautiful SnDMt Phenomenon. Following the disappearance of the upper limb of the sun's disk at sunset, there has been observed the phenomenon of a beautiful green ray, its flash being as rapid as that of lightning, and only visible under rare con ditions of clearness of the sky. The explana tion offered for its appearance is that of the simultaneous contrast of colors, the theory propounded originally by M. Chevreul. U 10 1 ie-.Democrat. $50O Reward.

MOUSE OFFICIAL . WORK. 1 r'aklnf 'ion of ; "Tea T. ' Tm "In examinf. v Pierson, the exaznix.. New York, "wo seUot- . cal analysis. The usual tu. nl u what is known as the 'commercial test,' which con sists of pouring a given quantity of boiling water upon a given quantity of the leaves of the tea; the character and quality of the tea is then determined by the odor and flavor of tlio infusion, appearance of the leaves, etc Questions of the presence of spurious sub stance, exhausted leaves, etc., are determined by chemical analysis, a valuable aid to the examiner." "Is tea tasting or testing Injurious ?" "Not necessarily so. The expert, if pos sessed of a critical taste and healthy olfac tories, will determine qualities without pro longed tasting or smelling; an excessive in dulgence in this rtpect doubtless would and sometimes does affect the nervous system, it mav be seriously. "Does not constant tasting of tea cause a general dislike for tho beveragef "It naturally creates a disgust for poor stuff called tea, but not entitled to the name. of which wo get, under the present 'tea law,' entirely too much; and at the same time it cultivates a taste for the better qualities, of which the average tea consumer knows too little." "Does it not result in a fondness for strong teal" "Very likely, as both quality and strength are essential elements composing a good cup of tea. Many a good housewife fails in se curing a good cup of tea by not putting enough in the pot." ADULTERATION OF TEA. "How do they adulterate tea in the pro ducing countries V "We have no accurate knowledge upon which to base an intelligent reply. The al leged methods are various, but sufliciently well authenticated to repeat." "Do they not pack a mixture of good and bad teas in the same chest" "Wide variations in the quality of leaves found in the same 'chest' or 'chop' ore often observed. This may be the result either of accident or design. It may and doubtless does occur by plueking the earlier leaves with those that are matured, neglecting to assort properly the different qualities per haps intending to increase the bulk at the expense of the quality." "How much tea is confiscated" "During my service only one instance of confiscation has occurred, which consisted of a few packages damaged by salt water and unlit for use." "Why do you not draw samples yourself?" "In exceptional cases I do. This duty, however, is assigned to the 'sampler' speciii cally selected for the purpose." "How much tea is rejucted each year i" "During my term of service about three years the total rejections are about 2.'5,0OO packages, or say about 1,250,000 pound.-. About half of these were subsequently ad mitted upon re-examination by arbitration committees, as provided by 'the act.' " "Do you swallow the tea in the process of examination f "Very rarely, and then in very small quan tities." "How do you know that importers do not adulterate after their consignment has been released by you or the customs officials '" "OfLcially we have no knowledge. Pre sumably, however, the importer sells his irn crtatious in tho original packages; aud adulterations or admixtures which do or may occur would be traceable, if at all, to the re tailer, or one who breaks up the original packnge." "What do you do with the samples?' "After the examination of the samples is completed they are held subject to tho order of tho importers, and if not called for within a reasonable period are turned over to the custody of the collector, and are sold at pub lic auction for the benefit of the government. The average weight of each sample does not exceed three ounces, a portion of which is consumed in the examination." New York Mail and Express. lreakfat of the Cowboys. In the morning, the cook is preparing breakfast long before the first glimmer of dawn. As soon as it is ready, proba bly about 3 o'clock, he utters a long drawn shout, and all the sleepers feel it is time to be up on tho instant, fir they know there can be no such thing as delay on the round up. under penalty of being set afoot Accordingly, they bundle out, rubbing their eyes and yawning, draw on their boots and trousers if they have taken the latter off roll up and cord their bedding, and usually without any attempt at washing crowd over to the littlo smoldering fire, which is placed in a hole dug in the ground, so that there may be no risk of its spreading. The men are rarely very hungry at breakfast, and it is a meal that has to be eaten in shortest order, so it is perhaps the least important. Each man, as he comes up, grasps a tin cup and plate from the mess box, pours out his tea or coffee, with sugar, but of course no milk, helps himself to one or two of the bis cuits that have been baked in a Dutch oven, and perhaps also to a slice of the fat pork swimming in the grease of the frying pan, ladles himself out some beans, if there are any, and squats down on tho ground to eat his breakfast. The meal is not an elaborate one; nevertheless the man will have to hurry if be wishes to eat it before hearing the fore man sing out, "Come, boys, catch jrour horses," when he must drop everything and ruu out to the wagon with his lariat. Theo dore Roosevelt in the Century. Solitary Confinement. This solitary confinement is a relic of a barbarous age. The history of the middlo ages is full of eases where men have passed years, in some instances almost a lifetime, walking back and forth in a lonely cell which, perhaps, may have been for a portioa of the time a dungeon. All are familiar with the story of the prisoner confined in tho Castle of Chillon, in Switzerlan-l, who chained to a pillar walked to aud fro as far as his chain would permit, and wore a deep furrow in the stone under his feet. The prisoner is gone, but tho tourist may today visit the old prison by the sido of the placid Lake Leman and see this furrow, and ponder on the story of human suffering that it tells. In America much of the rigor of imprison ment has been alleviated by the introduction of contract labor. "Imprisoned at hard labor" may seem to imply a melancholy lot, but compared with solitary confinement, with nothing to occupy the prisoner's atten tion, or his muscles, hard labor means an existence far preferable. America is doubt less iu the advance in this reform. The most thinking European uations come next, while . Russia still lingers in the twilight of bar-1 baxi&m.

This is fore-shadowed by the number of storms wc haye already had the most destructive one so far this year having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111., where a large number ef buildings were destroyed or damaged. The exemption from tornadoes last year renders their oc currence more probable in 1838.
