Tna rascals are belnj turned out in
round numbers every day.
The lost cause is not represented in the
new cabinet, an 1 wont be much longer
in any of the departments at Washing
ton. The fact is worth mentioning that nil
the nominations so far sent to the senate
by President Harrison have been confirm
ed without a dissenting vote.
The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch state
that "negroes are no more fit to be voters
than are white boys of 10 years of age.''
It is expressions such as these that ex
plain the suppression of the colored vote,
and retard the progress of the "New
South."
It will be interesting to the republican?
to know how the books stand after being
in the hands of the democratic party for
four years. It is to be hoped they will
balance up to a cent, as they did after ,
being kept by republicans for twenty
four years.
TnERE was another shrinkage in th
holdings of the New Tork banks in tin
week just ended. The surplus reserve i.
down to the $3,000,000 mark, and it is
net likely to go far above it in the next
few weeks unless bond purchases grow
beyond the average at which they have
been held lor the past two or three months.
It is suggested that the recent Samoan
stories were inspired by Bismarck with a
view to testing American sentiment on
the subject of a war with Germany. If
so, it is safe to say that he is very well
satisfied as to the willingness of the peo
ple of this country to fight for their
rights and interests on short notice and
at all hazards.
It appears from recent statisticts that
there are not less than 300,000 criminals,
vagrants, paupers, idiots aad insane per
sons in the state of New Tork, seven
eighths of whom are foreign born or chil
dren of foreign-bern parents. This shows
at a glace the importance of providing
such restrictions in the matter of immi
gration as shall prevent other countries
from imposing upon us a class of peeplc
who are simply a burden and a source of
constant trouble. Globe Democrat.
A hithebto unpublished fragment by
Sir Walter Scott will appear in the Apri 1
number of Harper's Magazine. It it
the beginning of hit "Reliquiae Irottcos
iences; or Catalogue of the Gabions of
the late Jonathan Oldbuck," planned by
him in hi happier days, but deferred
aad finally left incomplete on account of
the press of grayer work. It describes
the interior of Sir Walter's home and
some of the curiosities it contains. Lady
Maxwell Scott, in a brief introduction,
says that it is a pleasure to aid in pub
lishing these papers, "becauae they illus
trate so happily Sir Walter's favoritt
taatea and pursuits." Six illustrations
of Abbots ford will accompany this frag
ment. A Hundred Ton of Monsy.
It hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for a ten-cent article,
could, if pennies were used in payment,
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of
our bright school boys has figured that
this is true of Diamond Dyes. To judge
from the stocks of uur dealers in dye
stuffs. Diamond Dyes own the field of
package dyes, and are a complete success.
Of cource they have imitators. "Nothing
is a success until imitated." But no one
wants to risk a counterfeit when tlu
genuiae can be obtained at the same price.
Three new colors hay e lately been added
to the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast stock -ig
black, Turkey red for cotton,, and
brown for cotton. The manufacturer.
Wells, Richardson k Co., Burlington, Vt.,
will send colored samples of theses new
dyes, with book of directions, to any ad
dress free of charge. These additions
seem to have made the line so complete
that any shade can hi matched with
soma color of Diamond Dyes. The
lately sent to all dealers in dyea, will dc-,
light the eye of any lady.
r. "It's easy to
dye with Diamond Djes," is so absolutely
true that home dyeing is no longer a
difficult and disagreeable task. Alma
nacs, with their hints as to proper times
for different work, tell us that now is the
time for spring dyeing. This, together
with the thought of that hundred tons of
money," leads us to ask what school boy
can figure how many thousands of ladies
are now saying that this is the time to
use Diamond Dyes.

Kiss your Anger tips, and smile
It farewell a little while.
Weary of the weary way
Wo hare come from yesterduy,
Let us fret us not, instead.
Of the weary way ahead.
Let us pause and catch our breath
On the hither sldo of death,
While we see the tender shoots
Of the grasses not the roots.
While we yet look down not up
To seek out the buttercup
And the daisy, where they wave
O'er tho green Lome of the crave.
Let lis launch us smoothly on
Listless biilows of the lawn.
And drift out across tho main
Of our childish dreams again.
Voya;?o off, beneath the trees,
O'er tho field's enchanted sea.
Where the lilies are our sails
And our seagulls, nightingales.
Whero no wilder storms shall beat
Than the wind that waves the wheat,
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs wo used to lore.

Calm mid ocean of the past.

loles of Fish. '
Doles of fish are very numerous, and
with particulars of a few examples we
close our paper. John Thake, in his will,
drawn up in 1337, left his house and land
on condition that his heirs, annually on
Friday, in the first week in Lent, gave to
tho ioor of Clavering, in Essex, one bar
rel of white herrings and a cade of red
herrings. At Dronfield, Derbyshire, in
1377, Richard Stevenson left half a hun
dred of herrings, and as much bread as
could be made from a "strike" of good
wheat. The doles were to bo distributed
every Friday during Lent forever. At
t ariinam Jtoyal, iiuclnrigharnshire, in
1664, David Slater gave money to pur
chase bread and herrings and a pair of
kid gloves annually tor the parson or the
parish for the time being. The gloves
were to be purchased ready for the first
Sunday in Lent. At Newmarket in
Suffolk there was a bequest of fish and
fagcts. Chambers Journal.
Hypnotized by the Phonograph.
Dr. Pinel, of Paris, is said to have suc
ceeded in hypnotizing several subjects j
by means of the phonograph. All the
commands given through this channel
were, he declares, as readily obeyed as
theso which he uttered directly, and
"suestions" of every possible sort were
as effectually communicated through the
meuium or tne macnine as ix made viva
voce. The conclusion which he dedu
ces from his experiments is that the re
ceived theory of a magnetic current pass
ing from- the operator to the subject is
entirely baseless, and that the real cause
of tho phenomena of hypnotism is ner
vous derangement on tho part of those
subject to them. New York Telegram.
What la Xlgbtniare?
What we call a nightmare was by our
forefathers supposed to be the Saxon
demon Mara or Mare, a kind of vampire,
sitting on the sleeper's chest. These
vampires were said to be the guardians
of bidden treasures, over which they
brooded as hens over their eggs, and the
place where they sat was -termed their
nidus, or nest. Hence when any one
supposes he has made a great discovery
we ask if he has discovered a mare's
nest, or tho place where tho vampire
keeps guard over tho hypothetical treas
ures. Detroit Free Press.

officer, and, losing his rider, headed a

WIRES UP HIS BACK.
How the Man with the Galvanic Battery
Lost a llet of S5. '
Street fakirs nro usually pretty
sharp. Their wiU are being constant
ly rubbed against tho rest of the
world, and the friction keeps them
bright and acute. Despite the fact
that they are ever ou the lookout for
the best of the encounter they are
sometimes "done up.1' The man with
the electricity machine was plying
his vocation on the street and appar
ently doing a good business. A crowd
stooa around him amused at the
twisting and contortions of those ex
perimenting with the unseen force,
while the manager would sing out in
solemn monotone the capacity of bis
dupes for enduring the fluid. Among
the lookers on was a tall, gawky fel
low, who had made himself noticed
by some sneering remarks as each cus
tomer relinquished his hold on the
handles and straightened up. "That
feller ain't of no account," said he to
tho proprietor as one chap who had
taken a big dose let go. The proprie
tor was induced to break over Lis rule
of dignity and challenge the odd look
ing cove to try his nerve. Humph,
the fellow grunted, "you can't make
me squirm like you did those other fel
lers.' "Bet you $5 1 can," said the man
with the machine, "and make you
holler 'nough besides." "Guess I'll
have to go you jest once for luck,"
chipped in the stranger, and, going
down in his pocket, fished out a fiver.
"Well, lay tne money right there on
tho machine so we can both see it;
now then, open up her valve."
As tho stranger said the last words,
having laid a $5 note down and seen it
covered by the proprietor, he took up
the handles and prepared to be shocked.
The electrical man opened out on him
gently at first as though fearful of do
iusf some damage. Gradually he in
creased the force and looked to see the
quivering and shaking begin, but lie
saw neither shake nor quiver. More
and still more force he put on. but the
gawky stranger stood like a rock. The
last notch was reached, but it did not
feazo liim, and the machine man said
no was piaying some gouge on mm,
but as he could not see what it was he
would have to give up.

walked away. As he went around tho
corner ho laughed again, and said to
some of the crowd who had followed
him: "This is the fourth machino I've
worked today, and I could make a for
tune if they would only hold out. See
here," he said, and ho showed the
looker on a wire passing from one hand
to the other and pver his neck, but so
flexible as not to interfere' at "all "with
his movements. The wire explained
the secret it had proved a most suc
cessful destroyer of the current.

She Waj Satisfied.
In front of a shop on Twenty-third
street there is set a showcase filled
with photographs of famous peo
ple, and it is always surrounded
by a curious group of
women
eagerly scrutinizing the
?thf
the actors and actresses
thev see so often on IIia niaTo,
and read so much about in the news
papers. As I passed along I glanced"
at the collection of pictures, and
found tho most conspicuous one
to bo of that placid delineator
of Shakespeare, Mrs. Langtry.
As I was moving away a victoria
drawn by a team of bay horess drew
up at tho curb. A handsomely dressed
woman raised herself from the scut
and strained her line gray eyes in an
endeavor to see over tne crowd to the
photographs in tho showcase. She
was evidently anxious to discover if
somo special picture was being dis-

among tho many who were raving
over the loveliness of the woman in the
photograph, and afterward glanced
carelessly at the occupant of the vic

Langtry had driven up to see if her
own picture was there on exhibition.

That is a queer story which The Ar
gus prints. It is told that a man on
tho Grand Trunk fell oil' a car while
rounding a curve, jumped up unhurt
from a snow bank, hastened to a
neighboring farm house, hired a horse
and overtook his train at the next
station. That sounds very much like

Trains usually stop to ascertain the

A Story of Coincidences.
The Medical Jurisprudence society
recently listened, to Lawyer Paschall
Coggins' relation of a case of mistaken
identity that came under his personal
observation. Two men John A.
Mason, of Boston, and John A. Mason,
of Illinois left their respective homes
and went to California in search of
health and wealth. They were both
wagon makers. One left a wife and
two sons in Boston and the other a
wife and two daughters in Illinois.
The Boston wife heard nothing of her .

and twenty years later heard of the
ueam or jonn .mason, a waarn
maker. Sho brought suit for his prop
erty, his photograph was identified by
twenty witnesses, but at the last mo
ment tho Illinois wife turned up, and
proved that the man was her husband,
and later developments showed that
the Boston pioneer had died alone.
