My only regret, following the enforced retirement of the statesman from " Arbor Lodge," from our convention, was the absence of the " Widdy McGinness's pig. --James E. lloyd. Tub effort of Mathew Gering Saturday evenino- at the democratic ratification was classical, poetical, historical, emotional, sensational aivl just a little mossbackical. It was the sugar plumb of the occasion, however, and has dieted much favorable comment among the democracy of our citv. To whom it may concern: The Dem ocratic national committee hereby gives notice that any organ of the Democracy which is caught printing the ticket in this manner : The Red Bandana and Cleveland, will be disciplined within an inch of his life. Mr. Cleveland has used the machine to secure his election and turned the hots of federal office holders loose on all the enemies of his excellency. He has disap pointed us in his many failures to tie mand clean men and methods and his op proval of bad men and corrupt method in his administration; yet, he is the ex ponent of " Public office is a public trust" and we mugwumps are forced to support him ! Allah is great and I am Cleveland's prophet! Geo. William Curtis. Some democratic dude has manufac tured a story that Grover Cleveland is cruel to his wife. This story seems to have leen put afloat in order that Fran ces and mother-in-law Foi-some may furnish a certificate of good moral char acter for his obesity. The silliness of the story is only equaled by the previousness of the certificates furnished by the ladies mentioned. It seems that Frances is likely to take an important hand in the coming campaign ? The Mont Popular Faahlons and ITow They Are Prepared for the Market. Just now the English hazel tree stick, with their natural hoods lono in 6ilver to repre sent a natural growth, soem to be in the as cendant. It may be that the most prized of all sticks are the orange and lemons. These are imported chiefly from tho West Indies, and, although they can bo procured without dilTlcnlty in most any of the retail shops, yet really perfect specimens are scarce and fetch large prices. The orange stick is readily known by Its beautiful green bark, with ' its fine, white longitudinal marking; while the lemon is detected by the symmetry of its proportions and tho prominence and regularity of its knobs. The Rajah cate is a favorite with many for its appearance and rigidity. Not !..., a if. uvl na a vmlkinz stick, but is used largely for umbrella and parasol nan dies. China furnishes us with Vie Whangsee canes, which are admired for tho regularity of the joints. These joints are the points where the leaves give off, ana me canon are, in fact, the stems of a gigantic species of grass which is closely allied to the bamboo. The palm canes are anguiar anu mom ui w flat; are of a brownish color, spotted and quite straight, without cither knob or handle. There are the lear stocks oi m pouu. Algeria and Australia furnish us tue euca lyptus, where numerous species exist, form in r largo forest trees, some growing to be- tween 400 anqpw ieec mgn. conservative gentlemen the -maiacca joint is and will continue to be a favorite stick. For the great majority ot our natural sucks we are indebted to the isasc ana w muia, fliinn .Tnvn. Sincrariore and Africa, from which the handsome and scarce smokewood canes come. . . . . ' , Besides the real sticks of wood, or tnoso oi rrot5iln prowth. a variety of other articles, such as rhinoceros horn, whalebone, tortoise shell and other animal substances, are made use of. On the continent tff Europe ana especially in Hamburg, largo quantities i of walking sticks are made and are imported in an unfinished condition, and here they are completely finished and mounted to suit the tastes of purchasers. To the Germans we are indebted for our loaded life preservers and corded canes, while in the matter of tastefully mounted canes it Is probable that Paris leads the world. Many people wonder how the handles of the sticks made from hickory, maiacca, hazel and a variety of other woods are curled. This is effected by the application of beat. Tho workman fixes one end of the cane firmly in a vise and pours a continuous stream of fire from a gaspipo on the part which is to be bent When sufficient heat has been applied the cane is pulled gradually round until the hook is formed; it is then firmly secured with string and, after an additional application of heat in the form of baking, the curl is per ,.0n fi-pfl. Tho under part of the hook, w hich is much charred by the action of the tras is rubbed down as much as possible and Imoothed with sandpaper before polishing. Kew York Mail and Express. Why Cocoa TreM Need Mort Car Than a Coffee Plantation Bad r Indiana and Their Ways The .Art of Lying PIo tnresqne Drew. The part of Guatemala wo are now In Is called the "Costa Cuca." and from San Sebastian to San Felipe, ten miles away and near tho mountains, the road passes through a succession of conee plantations.

While great care must be taken of the coffee tree, it is not a circumstance to that ro quired by the cacao plant, which much resembles it. Cacao, or In English cocoa, the source of chocolate, is more, abun dantly grown in Ecuador than In any other portion of this hemisphere, and the Guayaquil cocoa of commerce commands a price in Guatemala city of $18 per "carga." or sixty pounds, so It may be seen that it is a valuable crop. The cocoa nt Guatemala Is a much finer variety and sells at $35 per carga. right here In the country, but the amount raised is not sufficient for home consumption, and but little of It finds Its way into the outside world. The plant has so many natural enemiei that many finqneros are deterred from at temotlnir Its cultivation. The tree is planted from the seeds, which are no. sooner put In the ground than a barge ant searches for them and ruins many; when the tree appears and is about three feet talL deer, attracted by the richness of the leaf, risk their lives for a feed of It; when these dangers are past and the fruit ap pears, squirrels come to eat it In large numbers and any decent sized cacaotal must have two huntsmen to kill squirrels Thus it may be seen that chocolate is a universal favorite. During this time tho ground must be as well weeded and cleaned as a Chinaman's kitehen garden. And In addition to this each cocoa tree requires a madre or mother, which is a shade tree planted for its own particular use. With such great care necessary, it Is not strange that many prefer coffee planting. ANOTHER VIEW 01. IT- And It occurs to me. how few who sit sipping Malllard's or Mennier's chocolate ever give a thought or ever know of the immense labor of Its production! On the other hand It has its advantages, for while a coffee tree Is fairly on the down grade to worthlessness after bearing eight years, the cocoa tree Is said to bear abundantly for seventy-five years, and even more. Some cacaotal s near the frontier of San Salvador, are so old that the oldest Indians In the vicinity testify that they were flourishing plantations when they were children, and the trees bear as well today as ever. The coffeo estates near San Felipe were nearly all planted at the same time, every available space was utilized, consequently they all failed at the same time, and San Felipe, from being a thriving, busy town, became but a place to live In. and 1 failed to see its attractions even In that respect. When the coffee trees failed many finqueros planted sugar cane. This requires, from planting to maturity, only nine months, but is not so profitable as coffee. The cocoa fruit as it appears on tho tree is a pear shaped green mass about nine Inches long, and in circumference not so large as an average pineapple.

Rosin, as used in the manufacture of build ing paper, is being largely replaced by a TmiMim nroduet similar to rosin in many respects, called "wax tailings," or "still wax," or "petroleum rosin," according to the degree of hardness to which it Is reduced la the stilL An important au vantage m of this petroleum product in connection with paper and fibrous substances consists m i non-liability to oxidize and produce spontane ous combustion. Moreover, it is said tc toughen with age, instead or growing more brittle, like rosin and coal tar pitch. It is not more combustible than rosin ; it bums slowly with a dull flame, producing Immense quanti ties of lamp black of fine quality. It melts readily at 200 deg. t ab., ana in mas bun combines perfectly with rosin, asphaltum and warm oiL Its use is therefore expected to largely increase, Public Upinion. TnE action of the two Tresbyterian Assemblies on the question . of organic union has the appearance of a game at cross purposes. The Northern body went to the very extreme of concession and conciliation adopted a report which had been beforehand freely condemned as giying the whole case away to the South ern Church, and appointed an enlarged committee to renew -negotiations. But the Baltimore Assembly dashed the entire scheme by voting by a large majority that organic union was impracticable. This leaves the Northern Church in the very awkard position of having confi dently held out a hand only to have it refused- The decision of the Southern Assembly in the Woodrow case certainly lends color to the belief that the Presby terians of the South are much more sensi tively conservative than those of the North.

A marked difference Is apparent between the true Indian of the Indian towu and tli a nna who lmn had mueh contact with whites and ladinos. The former Is always respectful and polite and he is a natural gentleman. He never approaches you to speak without removing his hat and bow ing low, and he never retires without ex cusing himself until he may return. The latter la usually disrespectful and of an insolent disposition eager to take every undue advantage of his master's leniency and has to be taught by the generous use of a club The ordinary feelings of tho human heart are unknown to him. You can govern him, and govern him well, by simply causing him to fear you. The art or lying is umuiuwu m " United States when compared with the state of perfection it has reached anions some of these Indian tribes. You may tell an Individual In your employ to do a cer tain thing, but you must accompany him to see that he does It. because if he does not feel like doing It he will come back and lie about it.
