It their duty to see that Uo took away with
him a favorable lni | > rc Mon of Iowa's

and by deinocr.its who wanted to worm some
thing out of him that mltrjit Injure tlio pros
pects of the rermtillcnns next fall. So far a's
learned , the pftorts of the democrats wore
not attended by any ft.irlllng rotults.
Several nowsuapor man were among these
who called on him , and whllo ho was aftablo
with nil bo took no p.ilns to conceal the fact
that bo did not care to talk much about any

The Woodbine , a saloon In the Key build
ing on llro.idway near tlio corner of Seven
teenth street , was entered by burglars yesterday
torday morning. How the burglar made bis
entrance Is a mystery , as nothing was disar
ranged about the building , and It is supposed
that who ever did the deed must have had a
key that llted the lock of the front door. Ttio
burular evidently knew Just wh.itho wanted ,
and took It. A silver watcti. a gold chain ,
gold nugget , gold ring nnd $ . " > ( ) In cash wcro

It was late , and the two strolled
slowly and ecstatically along the bide
strbet over the Rhino , says the Cincin
nati Commercial. It was evident that
they were two souls with but a single
thought to agitate their thinkers. It
of hour since
was now three-quarters an
they bad seen "Komeo and Julietat
tlio Grand opera house , and their minds
were still thrilled by tlio pathos of the
tragedy WIOMJ ! swoetoat strains wore
still singing themselves over and over
in their two young loving hearts , an old ,
old story , over now.
They paused by the entrance of u bril
liantly lighted apartment , entered , re
mained but briotly , emerged thought
fully and lovingly wiped the last lleeks
jof foam from their ripe young lips.
' to the doorway
'Twas but half a square
way of the homo. Cli'so in its shelter
ing shadow they paused an instant and
gn/ed rapturously into ono another's
eyes with that gaxo which needs no
word or interpreter anywhere under the
sun and moon. Ono btrong , manly arm
stole , unrosistod , anout n delicate , taper
waist. A sunny head sank softly upon a
heaving bosom with a sigh. Ono mo
ment they stood so , their thoughts too
deep for utterance. Thou , in a tone ot
suppressed emotion , ho whispered :
"Tilly , you know beer ? "
"Uh hull , beer ! "
" ' ' . "
"You're bottor'n hear.
Pulsing with the lire of a young maid
en's love , she pressed s-o close to him
that they seemed but ono sensate body ,
and clasping her soft arms about his
nock , she pressed ono burning liss upon
his lips and murmured , as a dove might
murmur to its mate :
"Billy , you know Romeo ? "
"Uh huh. Romeo. "
"An1 you know you ? "
"Uh-huh. "
"Well , Romoy lie isn't in it ! "
With a glad cry ho strained her slight
form to his breast and imprinted kiss
after kiss upon her rich emollient lips ,
as they quivered together in tlio dearest
oestney of passion.
Suddenly lie caught his breath and
travi u gulp of agony , tore himself
desperately from her palpitating arms
and ran ifkc the mountain wind , down
tlio dusky street.
Up , up to her forlorn couch crept the
pain-racked girl , clutching her bosom
as if in anguish and restraining by a
bitter olTort tlio huge , burning sobs that
shook her slight form in a convulsion of
blind . grief forsaken forsaken
forsaken !
Far , for uway the torn mountain of a
man's inner soul labored and brought
forth. Clinging to a street-lamp , death
ly pale , his long , dbhovolod hair clus
tered over his clammy brow , William
swayed to and fro as a mountain pine in
the storm that overwhelms it. At last his
writhings of pain were stilled , and lift
ing ono hand to the blue-vaulted heaven ,
ho cried in quivering tones :
'May I bo everlastingly dod-gastod If
over I swallor another chaw of torbaek-
or for anybody's kit-sin ! "
llluo .Monday.
An explanation of the much dreaded
"bluoness'1 ot Monday has boon alTordod
by an erudite French observer. He
gives it ns the result of extended obser
vation that the only nation In which
Monday-is a day of poor lessons , lioad-
aches , scratch penmanship and that
"tired feeling" generally Is the United
States. Ifero ho notices that people
accustomed to great regularity In eating
and other physical habits during the
week , mitko a practice of eating a Into
and unusually largo dinner on Sunday
and lounging lir/.lly around the house a
grout portion of the day instead of
taking necessary oxoroiso. This , of
cour.so , loads to temporary dyspepsia on
Monday. Tlio theory is Ingenious.

not worth while to nsslst in the con

About Spcutnclo' .
Tlio honor and credit of pointing out
tlio benefit of glasses to aid defective vis
ion belongs to Uogor Bacon , who lived
from 1211 to 12)2. ! ) Spectacles were ac
tually invented inthoyear 1280 , tlio man
who conferred this great blessing on suf
fering liumanty being Alexander Bpinn ,
a monk of 1'iea , who died in 1H1H.
In the early stages of the art tlio spec
tacles made were rude and crude , the
glass-OS were rough , though they ren
dered ain to the nlllictoo. At the pres
ent time , an optician who understands
his Dullness can , by successive experi
ments , discover the actual defect of tlio
eye and furnish a glass. Unit will make
. .the eye utmost perfect , friio perfection
in the means of nssisUncu is due to tlio
oxpfvimonls and inventions of Dr.
Schelllor and Dr. Giraiul of I'nrK The
latter tciontist promulgated the idea
and tlio former practically put the the
ory in operation. . >
Clashes are comonly ground with
equal convexity on both Bides. The ma-
torlal for their manufacture Is both glass
and a kind of stotio called Hr.i/.llian pob-
bio. It is really a rock crystal of very
line quality and doea not resoluble a
"pebble" In any particular. Spectacles
have alleviated moro misery than all
other human agencies , because there Is
no sorrow equal to that caused by im
paired night ,
A Ui'inurkahle Krcnk.
A roinnrknblo freak of nature Is found
among tlio hlllH of Delaware county , N.
Y. , in the sunken lake covering about
three acres of biirfuco. which lies be
tween two parallel ridges not far from
the Now York , Ontario .t Western rail
road. The whole surface of tlio lake Is
covered with a thick growth of IIIOSH ,
whoso stems extend to an unknown
depth , but certainly further than the
arm can reach. Uach tuft of IIIOMS IH of
a different color from Its neighbor , BO
that the surface looks Hue that of a
beautiful colored carpet. In walking
over the velvety surface , tlio foot sinks
down a few inches without encountering
the water , which ia at least two leet below -
low the su rfaco. Near the , shore in a
few places , the water comes to the top.
The buried pond is a wonderful natural
curiosity.

The Engineering Maga/.ino savs the
greatest sufferers by the burial of tlio
wires are tlio telephone companies whoso
systems connect with tlio long-distnneo
lines. A short length of underground
cable lias little or no effect on telo phone
transmission , but when a few miles of
underground cable a e joined on to sev
eral hundred miles of overhead line , the
effect is very marked , the speech becoming -
coming mulllcd , thick and indistinct.
All cities ought , to make allowance for
this apparently insuperable dilliculty
and allow the wires of tlio long-distance
system to bo carried overhead. For
local telephone work underground wires
work admirably. The telephone system
of Now York from the Battery to the
Harlem river is entirely underground ,
and there are today under tlio streets of
New York considerably more than 20.000
miles of wire utod for telephonic com
munication.
The typo of underground cable now in
general use should have a very long
life. Tlio load covering is practically
indestructible ; if laid in iron pipes it
cannot bo affected oven by galvnnio ac
tion , because iron is electro-positive to
lead , nnd the iron would bo attacked.
As the insulating material is hermeti
cally sealed within the lead covering , it
is safe from deterioration as long as the
load remains bound. So that unless it is
found that the insulating materials de
teriorate by reason of the action of the
current , tlio donreointion on under
ground cables of this class should be
placed at a very low figure. In contrast ,
the depreciation of overhead lines is
very considerable , especially in towns
where the wires nro exposed to the ac
tion of .smoko nnd gases besides the iulUi-
enco of extremes of weather.
In largo towns nnd cities the under
ground t.y tem is among the established
order of tilings , while freedom must be
conceded for overhead wires in the open
country and on restricted routes.
A fniiltnl It'iroinrtcr.
The colToo cup is a capital barometer.
After the sugar lias been put in , if tlio
bubbles collect in the middle of the cup
the weather will be fair ; If they lt > ave
the center and adhere to the sides of the
cup , forming a ring of bubbles with a
clear space in the middle , there will bo
rain ; if they scatter themselves indiffer
ently on the surface the weather will be
variable , wlillo a cluster of ( nibbles on
one side of the cup indicates rain.
