from THE New York post office yielded

This is attributable in la-e meas

Gkover Cleveland has pone
south to hunt alligators in the
Florida swamps, and to fish for the
southern democratic electoral vote
for president and it is hoped he
will have lots of sport even if he
does not catch the vote.
The two surpassing facts with re
gard to the federal finances are
that the public debt has been re
duced $2o9,(C,C:X) during the pres
ent administrdtion. and that the
people have gained $o(,030,C00 in (he
past year by reason of republican
tariff reform. Globe-Democrat.
TnE war cloud still thickens and
it looks now as if Chili would open
the ball herself by opposing the
passage of the White fleet, under
command of Admiral Walker,
through the Straits of Magellan.
Admiral Walker has 6ix vessels,
but no torpedoes, and Chili has
sent six vessels to the straits, one of
which is the noted torpedo boat
that blew up Blanco Encalada.
THE JUS r CAUSE OF WAR.
The Chicago Times is of the
opinion that a war with Chili would
cost a great deal of money, that it
might extend over much time, and
that it would be unprofitable in re
sults. As to its first proposition,
the Times is quite right. War is a
costly undertaking. As to its
second proposition, it may' be right;
it is for no man to measure exactly
the power of an untried foe. As to
its third proposition, it is wholly
wrong. The one- priceless posses
sion of a nation is its honor; this
would be maintained, even if the
event of war were against us. The
man who strives to vindicate the
honor of his mother at the peril of
his life is honorable, even if he lose
liia life in the attempt. He who
does not strive to vindicate the
honor of his mother is base, though
lie should save millions of dollars
and his life by his cowardice. "The
republic," said Cicero, "is the
mother of us all," and this clause of
the Roman creed is part of the faith
of America.
It is to be hoped that there will
be no war. Chili has not a foot of
land that this republic oovets, has
not a dollar of which this country
would despoil it, has not a vessel
that this nation desires to capture.
That Chili may grow rich and popu
lous, that it may enjoy a stable
government, and that schools and
newspapers may multiply within
its borders is the wish ol the people
of the United States.
But since certain seamen of the
United Slates have been maimed
and have died on account of in
juries inllicted by a Chilian mob, of
which uniformed officials of that
republic were part, apology to this
nation and recompense to its
maimed citizens and to the families
of its slain ones is due. It is a due
that can not go unenforced witLout
loss of the national honor, and,
whether the Times believes it or no,
that is held by most Americans to
be the thing that must be preserved
at all costs and at all hazards.
Indeed, the preservation of national
honor has come to be considered as
almost the only just cause of war.

RAILWAY EMPLOYES.
It is estimated from the most
re;ent report of the statistician to
the interstate commerce commis
sion that the total number of men
employed on the railways of the
United States during the year end
ing June 30, 18S0, was G49,301, being
an increase over the number em
ployed the previous year of 44,5.")3.
This increase is at the rate of 70S
new men for each 1C0 miles of new
line brought into operation. It
raises the average employment on
railways in the United States from
439 per hundred miles of line in
1SS9 to 479 men per ICO miles in
ltC9, being an increase of twenty
men per hundred miles of line. By
classes the report shows that em
r'nvos of railways were distributed

La Crippe.
No healthy person need fear any
dangerous consequences from an
attack of la grippe if properly
treated. It is much the same as a
severe cold and requires precisely
the same treatment. Remain quiet
ly at home and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as directed for a se
vere cold and a prompt and com
plete recovery is sure to follow.
This remedy also counteracts any
tendency of la grippe to result in
pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it during
the epidemics of the past two years
we have yet to learn of a single
case that has not recovered or that
has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and

CURIOUS WAR INCIDENT.
Coa Mm by L.Uttna to LI It! A Story, sad
K'tait'U It Out.
A few even i do; 9 ago Col. E. A.
Dericke entertained at dinner Capt.
French, n Philadelphia banker and an
officer of the Signal Corps during th
war. Among the other guests were
some members of the local corps and
Col. John S. Mosby. the well-known
guerilla chieftain. Capt. French has
contributed a number of articles to
th Century and other mnr:izines re
lating to his escape from Lib by Prison,
and at thu dinner-table he narrated an
incident which has not yet beeu pub
lished. "We were attached to Sherman's
army." said Capt. French, "and as we
were marching toward Gettysburg I
was detailed to reconimiter with
another man. We passed a farm-house,
but afterwards returned to t"e place to
as. for a drink of water. The house
tvi's -within tli? Union line, and a
group of officers was standing in front,
liefore we had an opportunity of speak
ing a woman informed u tiat our din
ner was ready, aud although we were
considerably surprised at this, we had
no objection in those days to eat a din
ner which was obviously designed for
some one else.
"As we left the house a man in
civilian dress ordered me to throw up
my hands and surrender. As I was
within Union lines my first thought
was that some soldier was plaviug a
practical joke upon me, and I careless
ly ignored it. but when the man em
phasized his order by pointing at) ugly
looking gun close to my head, I con
sidered it wise to obey. The upshot of
that adventure was my confinement in
Libby Prison. I don't know who my
emptor was. but the occurrence was on
the 16th of
Capt. French was interrupted by
Col. Mosby'. "You are mistaken as to
the date,""said the latter, "it was on
the 17tn. and. by the way. you probab
ly do not know that you were almost a
dead man that day. Wiien I pointed
the gun at you 1 was wiggling the trig
ger, but somehow it did uol work
smoothly and your surrender prevented
its discharge."
Were you my captor?" asked Capt.
French in surprise. "I heard after
ward that he was one of Mosby's men."
"I was the man." was Col. Mosby's
grim reply. bun Francisco Call.
HIS APPETITE.
Th Voracity of tlmt Growinj Boy After
School Hours.
What an appetite he has! How hun
gry he is always! How the cookies
vanish aud the gingerbread disappears
before his determined onslaught! He
is rll noise and impulse, and warts
and .freckles! His hands are dirty; his
linger nails rimmed with black; he
has stuck a "cud of gum" to the shelf
in the pantry to clear the way for the
edibles, and his trousers are torn at
the knees and he smells of fish bait
and peppermint candy; but he is your
boy. and you love him.
The house is turned upside down
immediately. He wants a string for
his kite. lie wants some lead. He
wants a bigirer fish hook. He wants
his ball mended. He wants money for
Jim to pay him the boot on the jack
knife he has swapped. He wants to
go fishing w ith Tom aud Jack.
He crams his mouth full of bread
and butter, and with the jelly running
out of the corners he makes his wants
known.
. "Ma. can't I have a bicycle? I want
one. Whore's pa? Who's been here
with a carriage? Where's my box of
worms? I wish I had a pistol or a
shot-gun. Jim's got one. Say, ma.
teacher says I've been late twice, and
it's only just opce. Jim's beeu late a
dozen times, and never got marked. I
did ten examples to-day. I wish 1
had a new slate. Oil, ma. the circus
is coming next month! Can't J go
every day? I wish I was a circu- or a
menagerie! Wouldn't I have jolly old
times! Going to school is auful slow!
"Tom's dog bit Mike Lane. They
think he's got the hydrophobia. It
was in the leg. and he had two white
ears and a white tail, and he'd sit up
like like well, like anything. I
should like to have a dog! Say, ma,
ain't there any custard? Tom has
mince pie all the year round at his
house! Oh, say. ma, can't I have
three kittens? Mike's mother's cat
has got live, and they'll give me three!
Mike said so! Ain't they real good?
Hallo! there come the boys! They've
all got their poles! Where's my line?
Don't let Minnie eat up all the cake!
1 shall want some when I get back!
You won't let her, will you, ma?''
And with a whoop and a hurrah he
dashes out of the house and leaves a
track of mnd behind him and a gen
erally disordered room for you to
clean up. N. Y. Weekly.
Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer royal
for Ireland, asserted a short time ago
that 50.000.000 years ago the moon was
a part of this earth, and predicted that
iu 50.000 000 years hence the moon
would be twice the distance from us it
is now.
Oysters in tbe Thames.
Oysters do not appear to thrive in
the Thames. Out of 600.000 laid on
flats in the lower reaches of the river
in 1SS7, no fewer than 30 per cent
died. In the following year the same
number of oysters were placed on tbe
beds, and the mortality increased to 85
per cent. Matters were still worse in
1889. when 400,000 ovsters were laid
down to fatten. and nearly half of them
died.
