EcuorK does not like Harrison because
lie is American, Lid cabinet is American
and his address was American.
The first official act of President Har
rison was to discharge tbe inebriate ser
vants and replace them with good sober
ones.
Gov. Swinekord, of Alaska, has hand
ed in his resignation and it will be ac
cepted without delay. His nam alone
is enough to insure its acceptance.
It is reported that there are -no more
Muzwumps. The last of the breed were
drowned in the big rain under which
Mr. Cleveland retired from office.
It is now reported that Chili and the
Argentine Republic haye appropriated
large sums of money to defray the ex
penses of immigrants from Europe.
Never-the-less the United States will get
the most of the desirable class of aliens.
The other class we do not want.
A SBlssifcLB ana emcient president is
working cabinet has been selected and
confirmed, and the party to which these
officials belong is lso in power in both
branches of congress. The second cen
tury of the republic starts out
auspiciously.
There is much evidence leading to
the conclusion that England wants the
earth. Having usurped the dominion of
India, established a military despotism
in Africa, holding Australia and Canada,
and a foot hold in South Amera, the
latest feature of territorial aggrandize
inent is the seizure of Point Iiarnia at the
mouth of the Orinoca in Souh America.
This point of land has always been con
ceded to be Venzuelan property and
rightly so, as the Orinoco is a Venzuelan
river. The control of the mouth ot this
river so held by Enlgatd practically
amounts to a domination of the commerce
entering the river and is a standing
'menace to the political existence of
Venzuela. That England has her com
mercial eye upon the trade of South
America is not sufficient explanation of
the seizure of Point Barnia. The
acquisition of new territory in the Amer
icas by European nations, as menacing
the future peace of of the continent, can
not be viewed with anything but dis
favor by the United States government.

POSTAL REFORMS.
The new postmaster general will prob
ably be called upon to introduce at least
three innovations in the postal service.
The first of these and one that needs im
mediate attention is to reduce the price
of letter postage to one cent an ounce.
Next is the establishment and niain
tainence of a system of "parcels post"
similar to that furnished by European
governments. It is demanded by the
people, and is in the line of a legitimate
extension of postal facilities. The last
but not the least is the total abolition of
postal charges upon newspapers.
The dissemination of intelligence
among the people is to be fostered in
every way by the government. Mr.
Wanamaker as a business man will sec
the need of all these and as an energetic
an 1 conscientious servant of the people
do all in his power to see them established.
THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.
Work will soon be begun upon the
compilation of the eleventh census.
The delay incideut upon the publication
of the last census has led congress to
limit the new one to seven volumes, in
stead of twenty-two, which the vast
scope of the tenth census made necessary.
Despite this . limitation the new
enumeration of the inhabitants of the
United States and their industries, will
deal with all necessary subjects of in
quiry. Population and social statistics
relating thereto, products of manufact
ories, mining, agriculture, mortality and
vital statistic, valuation and public in
debtedness, and statistics relating to rai -road
corporations, express, felegraph and
insurance companies arc all upon the
list.
Th utatibticts ot the growth in the
population will be looked for with
particular intert-fct. It may reasonably
be expected that the United Plates will
be khowu to contain 05,000,000 people,
And the eleventh census will hut be com
plete unless it further demonstrates the
fact these people are mot intelligent,
best educated, thriftiest, wealthiest and
happiest people on the face of the earth.

LADY AND THE PANTHER.
X& were anxious to leave Bombay for
two very good reasons. First, on ac
count of the great heat, which had been
intensely uncomfortable thU season,
while tho rainfall had been very deficient
in quantity; and, secondly, because of an
almost unheard of visitation, a regular
plague of musquitoes. The pernicious
culex was of a much larger size than we
have been accustomed to, and their bite
venomous in tho extreme, so that I gladly
accepted an invitation from our friends,
the 's, to visit them at a picturesque
spot situated a short distance from Khan-
dahu This arrangement Buited us ad
ruirably, as we had already made up our
niinJs to proceed as Boon as I could get
away to Matheran, a delightful hill re
sort, with a fine bracing air, situated in
tho Ghauts, and which affords an agree
able relief durins: the hot season to a
larrre number of jaded Bombay officials,
On my arrival at Bello Vista, I found
that some other of S 'a friends had
unexpectedly asked to bo put up, and
were indeed occupying tho spare room
of tho bungalow. I therefore insisted
that no change should bo made in the
family arrangements on my account.
At i:iy earnest solicitation I was aljpwed
to have my way, nnd take up my quar
ters in a cool, inviting tent erected about
thirty yards from the house, and which J
found mine host was using as a study.
The removal of hi3 books was the work
of a few minutes and theso were quickly
replaced by the necessary furniture of a
bedroom. I 60dn found everything ar
ranges.! to my mind, and I congratulated
myself upon having secured tho coolest
jnd most delightful sleeping apartment
in t!i j place. The lookout from' the door
was ono of exceptional beauty. The
moon shone out clear and soft over the
whoio landscape beforo mo.
Having done a great deal that day, I
was very tired, so I soon prepared for
bed. My- little fo terrier Fidget, my
only companion, took up her usual place
at the foot of my bed. I crept under the
mulatto curtains nn l sank into a sound
slei-;. In about an hour I was awak
ened by the growling and barking of
Fidget. I looked 6leepily up and
thought I saw an animal of some kind
standing at the foot of my bed. I roused
myself a little, clapped my hands and
made a noise. This made the beast
hurry away. I turned over and was
onco moro fast asleep. I was not, how
ever, permitted to enjoy this very long;
faithful little Fidget soon set up a fiercer
bark than before. I started up and
shouted, and I soon had the satisfaction
of 'seeing what I now thought to be
either a wild cat or a pie dog slink out
thrcugh tho chink left in the tent. I
mu.;t have been very sleepj-, as I never
for a moment thought I wa3 ia any dan
ger, and again I lay down and went off
to k-ep. But my little dog was on the
watch,- and for the third time I was
awakened nnd startled by her loud bark
ing. This time I becamo wide awake di
rectly, and by tho light of tho moon I
cau-rht sight of a big animal standing in
the doorway of my tent. I had no longer
any doubt as to my midnight visitor; it
was a huge panther. Its eyes were
flashing fire, and it was lashing its long
tail furiously to and fro, as if it really
meant mischief. In a moment more it
seemed on tho point of making a spring
at me, and I could no longer doubt that
it wa3 bent on making a meal on my dog
and myself. I in no way, however, lost
my presence of mind, as I commenced
shouting with all. my might, which
caused the beast to retreat. Ho walked
slowly toward the open door by which
he had entered, but only to walk around
the outside of the tent and enter by
another opening, which brought liim
somewhat nearer to the bed. I stretched
out my hand and clutched at my candles
and matches and quickly struck a light.
This, together with my shouting and the
dog's barking, startled the animal, and
he ajrain disappeared. I also took in my
traveling clock, thinking that if the
worst came to the worst, I could at least
give the creature a good blow.
1 looked at the time to see if it was
near !siy, and found to my horror that
it ras only a Quarter to 2. I felt mv

courage was required, and I must either
get help ir do Boim-thin;; to pus;i the rest
of the night in Ktfi-tv; but thu worst was
I hud to come out of tuy protective cur
tains to do so. for a tent m such a dead
ener of sound I knew no one could hear
mo from there. fck out I jumped, se
curing Fidget well under tho curtains,
and ran to the brightest doorway, and
screamed first for ono and then tho other
at tho top of my voice. I put in y hand
to my mouth; I called in every way
could think, but not a soul heard mo.
Tho servants wero too far away, and
thoS s, whoso room looked on my
side, 'vero too fast asleep, with their
wind' s shut. So I made up my mind
I could stay there no longer, as any
minute I felt the beast might return. So
I inado a dash for my dressing gown,
slipped into my slippers, tucked my dog
under my arm, and ran for my life. Un
fortunately, I could not tell where the
animal was, and the dark shrubbery.
with trt3 overhead, looked just tho
place for Idui to hide; but I had totakt
mv chances, and I felt I had more in
making a run than staying where I was.
I shall never forcret tiiat run. 1 ran as
if fifty bulls wero behind me, leaving
my slippers on the path, and, tumbling
up the steps, I ran into the veranda
panting. I rushed to the door, which
was locked from the rest of the house
and, knocking loudly, called out "Mr.
S , there is a panther in my tent.
You can imagine the commotion; every
one was about in a few seconds; the gen
tlemen all seized their guns, and ran out
to see if there was any chance of a shot
and I was made a great fuss of; every
one said what a wonderful escape I had
had.
They saw no more of the panther, but
the next morning we heard that he made
for the house of another friend some dis
tance off, and there he attempted to carry
off a big English bulldog, which he found
asleep in the inner veranda. Fortunately
the cries of tho dog brought the servants
to the rescue, but not before its throat
and face had been frightfully mauled.
My friends are all of the opinion that the
musquito curtains saved my life. The
beast was evidently very hungry, and
was at one moment preparing to spring
upon us, but be was puzzled at my sur
roundings and probably took them for
some kind of a trap. But I never for a
moment lost my presence of mind; this
and the watchfulness of my little dog
enabled me to beat a safe retreat and es
capo tho jaws of my midnight visitor.

A Provencal Wolf Story.
An old wolf whodiad become deaf and
blind from weight of years, having oc
casion to make a journey through a for
est, caused one of his young ones to go
beforo hun, taking tho young one s tail
in Ins mouth to guide him.
In this way tho old wolf made very
good progress through tho woods; but a
passing hunter, 6eeing the strange pro
cession, fired at the young wolf.
Tho shot missed his body, but cut off
tho young wolFs tail, and tho animal,
greatly frightened, ran off as fast as his
legs could carry hun.
The old wolf,, who, of course, lic!
neither heard no? seen anything of V.k
affair, stood wondering what the your:-
ono was waiting for. Whereupon the
hunter came up, and taking tho young
wolfs detached tail in his hand, startc-
homo with it.
The old wolf trotted along contentedly
after lum, and the villagers, seeing the
hunter enter the village with the beast in
tow, were greatly astonished.
Tho wolf was placed in captivity, and
died soon after. And the villagers have
ever since repeated to strangers the story
of this wonderful adventure which the
strangers are at liberty to believe or not,
as they please. Youth's Companion.
Why a Lobster Is Red.
In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent, of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster the iron is oxidized. This
effect is largely due also to the percent
age of muriatic acid which exists natur
ally in tho shell. The chemical change
which takes place here is almost similar
to that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling a lobster its coat ceases
to lie a living substance, and to a certain
extent it takes a new character. It is as
a brick would be after burning. This
effect can also be produced by the Bun,
but necessarily not so rapidly, as the
heat of that luminary, although more
intense, is not concentrated sufficiently
to produce the result. Tho sun also ex
ercises a bleaching influence, which con
sumes the oxide almost as fast as it is
formed, leaving tho shell white or nearly
pure lime. Washington Republic.
Puns and Punsters.
Both Hood and Hook perhaps we
might add Porson also were punsters
by profession. But there are puns ex
tant by unknown authors which either
might have felt a pride in owning. A
Cambridge fellow, walking with a visi
tor, met by chance tho master of St.
John's on horseback. "Who is that?
inquired the visitor. "That," replied the
other, "is St. John's head on a charger."
Wo are given instances of puns which
have only one defect, they are too witty
to be used. Thus "the heir of the duke
of Penthievro died in 1764, ruined by an
attachment to an opera singer, Mile.
Mire." The wits of Paris made his
epitaph of five notes of music "Mi re
l'a mi la" "Mire has brought him there."
