Aa to the term "forked lightning," the representations of it given by artists, which resemble the so-oalled thunderbolts 'placed in the hand of Jupiter, are qnite absurd. The flash, when photographed, exhibits itself as a. line which is continually changing its course, and is described as "intensely crooked'' by a very careful observer. It never proceeds for a time in a straight line, and then turning at a sharp angle, going on further in an equally straight line, as is represented in piotures. The forking of it is very marked and this occurs by side-flashes passing off from the main track and eventually losing themselves, like ths ramifications of tree roots. Occasionally the lightning appears to start from a point from which several flashes diverge in different directions. 2. "Sheet lightning" Whenever a flash passes from cloud to cloud or from clond to earth, the light produced by it illuminates the sky in the neighborhood, and the more intense the flash the more brilliant and extensive the illumination. At times sheet lightning has been proved to emanate from an ordinary storm, distant more than one hundred miles from the point of observation. It is, however, maintained, and apparently with good reason, that occasionally lightning of the "sheet" type, such as what is called "summer lightning," takes place without any thunder, so that in such cases no actual thunder storm is in progress. 3. "Globular lwhlninft" This is a

rare phenomenon, and one whioh no the laboratory, whereas the phenomena of the two previous types are easily produced. The general description of the occurrence is that a luminous bs-11 is seen moving very slowly, not touching any object, and eventually breaking np with a violent explosion and the appearance of several flashes of ordinsr ry lightning. It is reported that persons have gone out from a house into a street to follow such a ball and watch its movements, so that the ocourrenoe must have lasted at least a number of Jeconds. Ordinary lightning, as is well known, is praotically quite instantaneous. The size of the ball on different occasions has varied from that of an orange to that of a large glass lamp globe, or even larger. Many physicists refuse to believe any accounts of this manifestation of electrical discharge, but the reports of it are too numerous and circumstantial for us to consider them entirely baseless. Longman's Magazine. Expert on Beauty. There is a great deal of sham, writes Eugene Field, in all the show of affection that has been going on at .Berlin between the Emperor William and his nnole, the Prince of Wales. It is pretty well known that the two have an ill opinion of one another. Wales hates Berlin because he regards it as a vulgarity democratic town, and he has always looked upon William as a boor. As for the young Emperor, he has been taught by Bismerok to regard England as a nonsensical little patch wholly unworthy of consideration, and he has been heard to remark that tho' Prince of Wales was simply a petit maitre and a flaneur. Wales was accompanied to Berlin by his second son, Prince George. After they had been there two days the son broke out suddenly one day with "Father, have you seen a pretty girl since you came here ?" "That's a carious question, replied Wales. "How came you to ask it?" "Well, I fancied you'd be on the lookout," said George, "aad I wfsh you'd tell me if you see one, for I've , got tired of hunting for them. Your judgment in that direction will do well enough for me." He Liked it A party of New-Yorkers, composed mostly of small Wall street speculators, have just returned from a hunting trip down in Maine. During their stay, in the Eastern lumber regions the party camped out and cooked their own meals. The first day in camp they drew lots to determine who should do the cooking. It fell to tho youngest member of the party. He was also the brightest of the lot, for he got his companions to agree to an arrangement by which be was to begin as cook, and continue in office until some one fonnd fault with the eatables. Then the fault-flnder should be his successor. The young man had occasion to bake some bread the very first day. His breast heaved with pride as he placed his maiden effort in this line before his companions at dinner.' His companions breasts heaved with sorrow wheu they sampled it. One of them, in an unguarded moment, was moved to criticism. He said : "This is dreadful poor bread." And then, quick as a flash, remembering the treaty made in the morning, he added, "But I like it I" : New York Star. -m A Jeke for Boarders. "You've left your old boarding-house, I see." i "Yes, too expensive.

This condition can not bo equaled in this town by any other branch of business, and seems to bo a pretty good answer to tbe eroabers who have been bewailing the impoverished condition of tho Western farmer.

They may be a lot of ignorant, downtrodden slaves, but wo want to resent with great vigor the idea that any such condition of affairs exists among tho farmers of Warren County. On tho contrary, they as a class are tho wealthiest, most independent of all others. They run the politics of the county, hojd the offlcos, represent tho county in tho Legislature, levy the taxes, and assess the property. Tho two banks in Iiidianola are owned, controlled, and managed by farmers. Thoy aro about tho only set of gentlemen who, when they die and the debts are paid, have something to divide among their children. Tho judges and dorks of court know this to be true Tbe farmers of Warren County havo today deposited In the banks of this city about $00,000, which is there for safe keeping. They do not get interest on it. Some of .the farmers aro scarce of monoy, and manv of them are mortgaged, but as a class they havo plenty. The farmers of Warren County disdain to be called downtrodden. They are free men, and not slaves to any man or sot of men. Tho Herald is of the opinion that the farmers of all Iowa are as independent and frco as those of this county. Grundy Center Henubtfcan: There are a largo number of farmers in this county who have retired from active business Miu ai'u lftklTlgrrg-ESgy' Many of them have moved to townTeTWer-JftaSlJujar built nice residences, and aro educating their children. In order to knock domagogism over the oppressed farmer in the head, it is only necessary to tako a ride into tho Country and ono can notice prosperity on every hand among tho farmers. Not ten days aro tho writer VS4'-oV-1ft""t&.e' west Uart of Partmero Township, and tho only rickety houses and barns observable- belonged to Iowa's Governor, Mr. Boise. The Governor Is not a poor man by any moans, and wo suppose that If Gen. Weaver or some of his ilk were riding over this county with a stranger, those houses and barns would be pointed out to show how op pressed tho poor farmer is, when. In fact. thoy belong to a gontloman who is plonty able to nut up neat cottages and bam-j for all his renters. With tho nomocracy it is anything to catch votes, no matter how thoy are secured. Cedar Rapids 'limes: While we cannot fay the city Is full of ratlrod farmers, men who livo at their ease in a modest and sensible way, wo can say there is a large number of them, moro than any othor class of men In tho city who havo partially or entirely retired from the active buttles of life. And wo may add that not all tho independent well-to-do farmers, farmers who do not owe a dollar and who have money at interest, who have good houses and barns, cattlo aud horses, and good comfortablo carriages for their families, are in tho city. Thore are scores of them on their farms within but a short distance of the city, sitting under tboir own vines and llg trees, spondlng tho evening of their days in peaco and plonty. Thoro havo been more farmers, two to one, who commenced with but littlo or nothing since we camo to Cedar Rapids and who have secured a competency than any other class of men in tho city, or out of it. . Atlantic Messenger; While the demagogues are wailing over the oppressed condition of tho farmer the farmer himself Is building now residences, new barns, buying more stock, and laying by a balance In tho bank. The best carriages seen on the streets of Atlanta are driven by farmers who a few years ago had nothing. Tako it year In and year oiit there is no business man who does better on his investments, is so independent and enjoys life more than the farmer who really farms. If any ono doubts that the good farmer has been prosperous let him count tip the number in every "Iowa county seat who have moved Into town for tho purpose of schooling their children and taking ltfo easy. Atlantic is full of thorn, and so aro the ethers. Iowa and the Whisky Power. Wo may as well calculate the power of resurrected whisky this fall. Tho power has temporarily gained a now lease of life. Like the dead In the valley, thoy have como together nntil there is a very great army. Tho original packago saloons aro running in almost every town in Iowa, and making money fast, that thoy will divide with tho political party that stands with them. Wo will waste no time in guessing what party will got the benefit of that power. It requires not tho aid of inspiration to toll beforehand, now. Tho Democrats in every county count upon it; and for every package sold to minor, drunkard or tippler tho Democrats will goi a royalty to help tho party, and to continue tho saloon In some of its forms and foatures. This Is a strong power. Tho packago saloon Is tho recruiting place of tho Democratic party. Plans will bo laid thore, Inspirations will be gained there. The futuro weal or woo of tho families of Iowa will bo greatly influenced by these places. There aro good Influences enough In tho State to meet and (iofeat thoso saloons at the polls, but it will not be dono by the third parties, nor by Indifference, nor by sulking, nor by scratching, nor by staying from the polls. Earnest work, school district work, must bo done. It is interesting to study the affiliations of this saloon power. Wherever Democratic majorities are heaviest, there the liquor power operates. In tho towns and cltlos among lgnoranco and vice the whisky powor finds fellow feeling. Tho godlike influences of tho Stato must awake and como to the rescue. Tho country home Is all right. AU the votes must bo polled. The villages are all right. They generally turn out. The cities are not all Democratic. They must be thoroughly awakened, else whisky takes control of Iowa.

The i?entinrhas TaSinrgfliedwi wonderful growth of the cities of Stato during the past ten years. The population of the clStes containing -3,000 or more ten years ago has Increased about 325,000. In 1880 there were but twenty-four of our cltlctPwltU a population of 4,000 or more; now there are thirty-four such cities in tho State. The marked disparity in the rate of Increase of tho city as compared with the rural population is due to "the development ofamanufacturlng enterprises, which in torn is largely the result of the policy of protection. Each one of these cities forms a market for the agricultural produce of the adjacont country. The growth of each contributes to benefit the farmer, by enlarging the number of those who con- ' sumo his products. They furnish the . most important market, the home market. They tako from the farmers la large quantities articles which will not bear transportation to a distant market, and thus tend to diversify the staples cultivated by the farmers, while enhancing their price. The Democratic party,' which is now professedly feeling a very deep concern for the farmers,- would chango all this. They propose a policy which would close . up many of our manufacturing Ind itstrios, and depress most of them, driving those to whom they now give employ-. moot upon the land to become the producers of grain and other farm staples instead oT consumers. Wo believe that the farmers of Wisconsin, when they reflect on this subject, will prove toe intelligent to be ted into the support of a policy so clearly opposed' to their own interest, Senator Brown, of Georgia; Not only that hut the price of land Is greatly ton creased by thoir proximity to and dlmln- . ished by their romotcnoss from manufacturing centers. You may find landselling at $50 an acre within a few miles of a manufacturing town, and you may buy tho fame quality of land at 85 an acre SO or 100 miles from manufacturing centers. And why so? Because not only the good housewife has a market for her butter and chickens and eggs aud cheese, and everything of that character that Is produced upon the farm, but the farmer himself has a market for every bushel of corn, wheat, rye, etc., and for every apple, peach, pear, melon, and everything of that character that ho makes upon the farm when located near a manufacturing center, and he gets tho best, price for his corn, flour, meat, and other necessary articles produced upon the" . farm. So, In every view of it, no alaas - of people in this country are moro bene-, fltcd by the increase of manufactures and the diversity of labor, thus putting down the price of manufactured articles and putting n the price of labor and the farm products, than the farmers themselves. itilvmikee Sentbtet.

The evidence in the case of tho Second Mississippi District, where General Chalmers contested the scat of Mr. Atorgaa, ' made this showing of facts: Tho constitution of partisan election, boards having no members other than Democrats. The appointment In many cases of parties on such boards to represent the Republicans who, by reason of ignorance and Illiteracy, wcro not "competent and suitable men." Tho unlawful removal of ballot-boxee from the polling places and from the vjew ot tho United States supervisors, Tho illegal erasure from the reglstrattcav llst ot duly qualified and registered votera,1 and tho refusal to permit them to Veto.
