One of the nio.-t disting-uiithod nav igators in the UniU.nl States navy a ngad, wmo yours Bjjo, b navi gator on ono of tint old-fashioniHl ailing-chips of tho navy, and, as it u his firht Ullet, he wai very irous of nmkin a good ImprcwMon. For tho first few days he UhiW his reckoning ith tho groatoht cttiv. But when tho ship had boon out wv ral days ho forgot to wind tho chro BOtnoU'rs which kopt Washington Umo, Hiiy tlio Argonaut. It an im possible to make any calculations on the hip's portion. He did not duro to U'll the comtnumlor of his mihhiip, and oo ln continued to take the alti tude of the sim every day In tho iuo(l sorious manner and re ported the ship's oaition. IIo was en!y able to estimate his jawition by dead reckoning a very uncertain op ration. Karly one morning, when ho thought they must be near llurbttdocii, their llrst destination, he called a young sailor to him, and said: "My nan, I want you to go to the mast head and look out for land; and when you tight it do not call out 'Lund ho!' In the usual manner, but come down quietly and tell mo about it." Tho allor ran up aloft, and when at alout Mven bell, or half-past eleven o'clock La taw a thin blue streak to the south ward, ho ran down from aloft and ro portod it to tho navigator, "(io aloft and report land in the usual manner at eight bulls," said tho navi gator. Hardly had tho sailor reached bis porch when tho captain came on dock, and walking to the naviga tor, said: "About what time shall we aight llarbadoos, sirP" At precisely wight bolls, sir," was the answer. 'What," cried the captain, "do you pretend to bo able to figure to the minute the time we will sight land? Why, 1 never saw a navigator who ould figure within two hours, and I have suen some good oiios." At that moment the bell struck eight times, and the cry of "Land ho!" rang out from the masthead. Tho captain took his navigator's hand and said: "You, air, are the finest navigator afloat, and I shall report your splendid work to tho department. " The captain kept his word. Ho wrote to tho navy de partment about tho excellent work of his navigator, which was tho direct oause of his promotion. DOUGLAS JERROLD. Amusing Storla Tola af IIU Brilliant Wit. Of Douglas Jen-old, the late Ed mund YaUss graphically related that, as he was escorting tho wit one night to the Bedford hotel, "up New stroot wo mot two or throe drunken rois terers, one of whom, after tumbling p against mo, apologized and asked way to tne vuiiifo aua Jury,' a Cpular entertainment of tho day. stantly Jerrold bent forward and addressed him: 'Straight on, young man; continue In tho path you are now pursuing and you can't fail to oome to them!' It was to l'eter Cun ningham, mentioning his fondness for oalves' feet, that Jerrold. aid, 'Ex tremes meet!' To Mrs. Alfred Wigan, xpressing her fear that her hair had Veen turned gray by tho application of tome strong .stimulant, ho said: 'I know, esseueeof thyme.1 " Onoeven tng Yates and Jerrold were at a hull, when Yates inquired: "Wtio is that man there, dancing with Mrs. Jer rold?"' "Cod knows, my dear boy," Jerrold replied, looking around for an Instant; "some member of the Humana ociety, I suppose."' A week before Jerrold died, Yates met him at dinner, where also was Alliert Smith, whoso ngagement to the lady ho afterward married was then rumored. The host having asked Smith to rin the boll lor dinner, Jerrold said: Yes. Albert, why don't you ring that belle?" Of his gou father, Edmund Hyng. Yates told this anecdote: Hyng once asked guest at his own table: "How did you like that dish?"' "It was very good." "Good, sir? Of course it was good! Everything is goo l that comos to this table. I didn't ask you if it was good; 1 asked you if you liked It." To ICIevNt .lonrnall.m. A society called the Institute ot Journalists is being organized in Eng land for tho purpose of raising tho standard of admission to their profes sion. The plan is to have two sots of examinations, one for pupil associates or apprentices, and tho other for mom bora. For the first, class th evamina.- tion includes English history and liter ature, arithmetic and geography, composition, skill in condensing and 'general knowledge." Tho candidate for the advanced degree is examined in these subjects and also political and general history, natural science or mathematics, political economy, the law of newspaper libel and copyright, verbatim reporting, descriptive writ ing and tho conduct of legal and pub lic business. 1 ha vnhiirr-g Hibie. A fac-simile of tho "Soldier's Pocket Bible," compiled by Edward Calainy in 1643 and used by Cromwell's Roundheads, of which only two copies, one in the British museum and one ia the United States, are known to ex ist, Las just been published by Elliot Stock in London. It was long sup posed that tho edition used by the army of the commonwealth was a very email bible printed by John Field, but as that was first issued in 1653, after the civil war was over, it cannot havo been the book. The credit for tho discovery belongs to Mr. George Liver more of Cambridge, Mass. N. Y. Sun. WUdom. Uncle John Did any of them rob bers git a-hold of yew when you wa 3 vew York? Uncle Si No, by gosh!

Hailep, Chin Medical Missionary .lo rnal, the or dinary method of bin iin,' tim feet is as follows: While the great Um is left straight tho other toe are fol I el on tin) plan tar surface of the fml; often until tho tips of tho toe hit on a lino with the tnlgo of the inner side of the foot, and then tlte foot is bound "snugly." Gradually the band age is made tighter aud tighter. Whoa the metatarsal bones Iwgin to curve, making the characteristic lump on the dorsum of the foot, the bandages are tightened more rapidly than before. If swelling takes place aixivotrie anmo the root is bandaged more tightly. If ulceration occurs the foot is bandaged still more tightly. Swelling is not a desirable complication. Ulceration is grenUnl with Joy, for it is usually a sign that the foot is yielding graceful ly to the Inevitable. -Lan siau klah' (ulcer, small foot ) is a common saying, To make tho smallest foot with the mini imi in of suffering ami produce no untoward results is tho desideratum; this process should take about ten years. I'ulionco wm men snow ner perfect work; tnnt wiiien loreigners call a doformity and restricted locomo tion are necessary sequela?, not un toward results. They begin to ban dage tho feet of a child when she is between a and 4 years of ago. tien erally the services of a professional bandagor are obtained, lhis woman carries with her a stock of small wooden shoos of various sizes. These are the patterns. Her patrons choose the size desired. A contract is then made to have the foot of this sizo in a certain length of timo throe years or less, as tho case may bo. The pro fessional bandagors, for tho most part, fulfill thoir contracts with suxrb in difference to tho children's sufferings, and sometimes with such results of tho death of the child, gangrene as tha feet, necrosis of bonus, etc. FOR A RATE. Ba Wai a Brawny Scotchman and Wanted to Sara Ilia siller." A gentleman connected with tho Perth and Inverness railway states that when that liuo was first opened some of tlio natives, wholly unaccus tomed to fixed prices, endoavorod to deal with tlio ticket clerk as they would with a shopkeeper.'

"Make it two-and-twoponco and its a bargain." "I toll you tho faro is two-and-aightpence. " "It's only a matter of thirty mile." "It doesn't matter what it is. That Is the faro. " "I'll give you two-and-threepence." "It won't do." "Two-and-fourpence, thon." "No; nor two-and-fivepence." At two-and-sixpence he made a dead stand, says Pearson's Weekly, and finding tho clerk inexorable, ho went away and waited till the next train, when he came bacit with his otler of the two-and-sixpence, hi hopes of find ing tho clerk more accommodating. Iltillo of a Southern Itomn. Ono of the relics of tho late South ern boom can bo found in the Shenan doah valley of Virginia. It is a ten- acre cornfield, in tho midst of which is a largo brick block and several electric light poles. It was formerly a 800-aere farm, and tho entire tract was purchased by speculators for tho purpose of building a town tliere. At 'ie 'le 'a'mor who sold the land in the first place became so excited that ho bought in lots for tho entire amount of his purchaso money. Then ho built tho block and became a mer chant, using all ot his available funds. Tho town was a failure, the property sold for debts, and instead of a 300 acre farm, with money in bank, tho old man has a ton-acre tract Ineutn bered by a useless building and eloo- trie poles that are in the way of nil plow.

We would respectfully calt your attention to the fact that tliere is In this city a council of the Order of United American Mechanics, to which we would be happy to have you Klre a moment's thought, and If favorably uipreHHcd, would like your name proposed for membership. The Order of United American Mechanics was orKantned In Philadelphia on the 15th day of July. 184.1. lis first inception was for the protection of Mechanics and WorlttnR- men alone, and for a number of years none but operative mechanics and working-men were admitted to Its membership! but the great Interests of principles involved In Its existence, caused a departure rrom tnat plan, and the Order has for years existed and exists today as an order of speculative me chanic., recosaiiing every one possessed "f the birth requirements, who works for malntatnance either by hand or brain or both as eligible to membership, and numbers among Its members men of every profusslon, and calling In life. The objects of this order are to assist each ether In obtaining employment: toencourage each other In business; to establish a sick and funeral fund: to establish a fund for the relief of widows and orphans and to aid members; and to aid members who. through Providence, may be incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocations. In obtaining situations suitable to their afflictions. The membership of this order Is composed of white male cttirens born In the United States, or under tho protection of Its flag. This order has existed for nearly fifty years and Is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. As an American Corn and having the welfare of yourself and fair ily at heart, as well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily invite you tn hiwnmn a member of the U. A. M., as It is the only Order in existence founded ea neciallv to promote the Interests, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic and business man, It therefore appeals to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as well as to mm who swings the scythe or wields the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the Interests of indl vidua! members is permitted; but nothing of a political or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed, it has no affiliation with such institutions as Trades Unions. Knight or Labor. Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desires not to control either capital or labor, it would be doing a gross Injustice to many of Its members, who are taken t "om both classes. The membership of the Orler Is scattered from Maine to Cali fornia, and from all points comes Ihe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great itrength In all jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected with the Order, both national and state, which insures those who seek its benefits, enabling them to leave a sum, which is in all r.uiea substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks Its mem ben for Its own. It seems very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national In his Ideas and as sociations as do the English, trench, uer nian, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organiiatlons, and take pride in same. But the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture ot nationali ties, and lets his own countrymen severely alone In the matter of secret and fraternal octettes. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. Far from It. They are a power for good in the community. But we do ask him who Is to the manor born to turn his thoughts to home and native land, so that he can Join in the glad refrain ; "Thou art my native land. I own thy fostring hand; Though far from thee I roam. Still thou art my home." Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal to you to aid us la this work we are now carrying on. You must either be for us or against us. Choose quickly and let us show to the country that we firmly believe In American principles, American Industry, American protection and American govern ment. Strikes riots aad boycotting are terms too harsh to be applied to American Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings of patrlottc affection, may this Order grow and prnfcrena. until every man who calls himself American can stand up and Say In all sincerity, I own no man as mwo.or of mT actions. irri.-' GRAND LODGE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION or THE United States of America.

Oriranlwr for department of Netraiia, Iowa, y. ,i . . u h . '..I..-.. .i.. OR A SO K PRlSClfLLS. On behalf of the Loval Orange Lodge of the United State of America, and with a view of correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the minds of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statement made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and alsterhood, bound by three tie Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It has no hidden alms It is Fraternal and Benevolent assisting and protecting members while living and their widows and orphans when they are re moved by death. It upholds the right of private Judgment the untrammelled freedom of opinion; be lieves the public schools are an essential safeguard of tho state, and should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that persons disloyal to tho government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Koine should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance Is due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of its cltisens, and that ecclesiastical authority should not' under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle In the affairs of state, and that coer cion of actticen in the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under the guise of relig ious orsplrltual authority should be pun ished as a crime against the state. That it is the duty of every citizen to de fend the lawfully constituted authority and Institutions of our country against corrupt and Inimical Influences, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glori ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and In dustry among Its members, and Is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread It believe In the restriction of immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization of citizens, and that the public ands shall be held for actual A merican citi zens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange lu.smution or tne United States of America has certain requirements for membership: That a man shall bean actual American citizen, having compiled with the lawsof the United states with regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant, and also that his parents and wife shall be Protestants. That he Bhall be thrifty and successful In his business; honorable and truthful in hi dealings with his fellowman, and shall be known as a law-abiding citizen. Thuthe will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a good common scnooi eaucauon, ueing care ful to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be in sound nealtn at tne time of making application. It makes no ainerence wnere a man wa born, so long as he meets the foregoln requirements. These are tne qiianncations requireu a every applicant to the oraer, ana we ao not think that any patriotic American order can offer a better arrav of nrlnclpleg and teach ings. J. 0. I. A. M. A Loyal, Patriotic Organization, terual and Ilenefleinl, Strictly Partisan and Non-seetarian. rtRCI.A RATION Or PK1NCIPI.K8. Fra-Non- The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics in annual aoQMlnn uHaemhled declares: That the constant landing upon the shores of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious ana lawless criminals of the Old World should be viewed with alarm by the loyal and patriotic cltl cprin nf tlilH countrv. We affirm a warm and hearty welcome to all Immigrants who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one square Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who is not willing to bow allegiance to that flag which is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us. in the exercise of all civil and religious liberty. We affirm our devotion to the public school vsipiu of this countrv. We believe in com pulsory education, and that all teaching in nur schools should be in the lingnsn lan guage. to the end that future generations may be able to take their place in the ranks of our country's workers, educated in the history, the customs and manners of Amerl We guarantee to everv man the liberty of worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give everv as sistance to protect all in the exercise oi his liberty, but we object most strenuous to the Interference of any church, no matter under what name it may exist, In the tem poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools; not to teach sectarianism, but to inculcate Its teachings. It Is the recognized standard of all moral and civil law; we therefore believe, that our children hnuld be educated in its teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taught at the tame time We believe that patriotism and love of country should be Instilled into the hearts of children, and that, with the words of Mother." "1101116" and "Heaven." our chil dren should be taught that our flag is the nvmnol of all that makes a "borne" for us. We would place a flag upon every public chnnl In our land, and a K10 e within, ana the object lesson therein set forth should be a beacon light in every storm which threat ens to engulf us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the cord al and heartv co-ooeration or an gooa citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a united front we should march forward. houlder to shoulder, remembering that "United we stand, divided we fall. In the strictest sense we are a national politi'al organization, but we oppose with unanimity the slightest taint of partlsanlsm "Our country" Is our motto, and we keep this motto steadtlv before us. We are cognt zant that there are great and powerful enemies within our midst, requiring the strictest surveillance of all who are at heart, word and In deed Americans. We. as members of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the objects of the Order as paramount to any uartlsan affiliation, and urge uuon the mem bership harmonious, united and Intelligent action in carrying out tne principles. OBJECTS OF TH ORDER. Flml To maiulaiu aud proinote tho Inter ests of. Americans, and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. Second To assist Americans In obtaining employment. Third To encourage Americans In busl- ness, Fourth To establish a sick and funeral fund. Fifth To maintain the public school sys tem of the United States of America, and to orevent sectarian interference therewith and uphold the reading of the Holy Bible therein.
