The Magnetic "Man From Maine. A good story of James G. Blaine is told by a writer in the St. Louis GlobcDcniocrat. The incident related was a magnanimous and clever act of the Maine statesman, when as speaker of the House, he got through a resolution appropriating $12,000 to the needy widowed daughter of President Zachary laylor. This lady got as far as Washington on her way to Paris to sec a sick daughter, and, being destitute of money, appealed to her only friend at the capital, Gen. Sherman. His purse was always open to the distressed, but he had 110 funds at all adequate to relieve her necessities. In this emergency lie thought of Blaine. The man from Maine entered into the spirit of the occasion as soon as he heard Gen. Shermans statement. He called another to the chair, made a five-minutes' speech that fairly electrified the House, which passed the resolution which Blaine had penned only a moment before. lie took the resolution 111 person to the Senate, whole it was also passed immediately, had the President to sign it the next clay, and 011 the following day the benefit iary got the money. Gen. Sherman always insi.itcd that Blaine would have made the grandest actor that ever lived, and in adapting his career to politics he robbed the stage of a born star.
The Useful Shark.
Old Mme. Ohvcros, who died recently in Paris, used to dress like a beggar, and at the same time drive in a very sumptuous carriage. Her husband had for many years almost the monopoly of the shark trade, and used to be fond of expatiating at Ins famous dinner parties 011 the usciulness of this fish. The liver of the shark contains an oil possessing medicinal qualities equal to those of the cod. lie skin, after being dried, takes the polish and hardness of mother-of-pearl, and, being marbled and resembling fossil coral, is largely used by jewelers for the manufacture of fancy objects, by binders for making shagreen, and by cabinet-makers for polishing woods. The glue from the fins is used by brewers, English silk manufacturers. etc. Mme. Ohvcros left two millions of dollars—all made out of sharks.
Origin of Spurgeon's Stories. Where did Spurgeon get all the good stories with which his writings and speeches were illustrated? The Rev. W llliam Denton tells how many vcars ago he Used to meet a gentleman at the British museum searching diligently fohos of the fathers and other ancient books. I "May I ask you," said Mr. Denton one day. ''what work you are engaged in bringing out?" "I? was the reply: "don't you know who I am? I am Spurgeon man engaged in looking up stories for him in books not generally read or familiar to the public."—London Weekly Telegraph.
A Choctaw's Warning.
"It is a shame for physicians to send consumptives to New Mexico to die." said Dr. William Owens, an educated, uill-b.'ooded Choctaw Indian "It is one of the grandest and most healthful climates in the world,-' he added, "but physicians wait until it is too late before they let their patients obtain the benefit of it. More than 50 per cent, of the people from the North who go to New Mexico arc dying wit!: consumption before they leave home, and some only last a few weeks—sometimes days—after arriving. These same people, if sent there at the proper time, would gain much benefit from the climate. The majority of them make their headquarters along the Rio Grande and in Santa Fe and Silver City."—Washington Post.
Dr. Ssnytli'e Opinion.
An amusing conversation was held through the telephone, a few days since, between a correspondent of a New York paper and the Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, of New Haven. The reporter wanted a fifty-word interview on "Heii." fbr the Sunday edition of his paper. He wanted it bright and terse, and he got it. "Hell, in my opinion," said Dr. Smyth, "is the place where the Sunday edition of that paper should be published and circulated."
Cable Statistics.
1 There are today more than 1,300 submarine cables in existence, their length being not less than 162,000 nautical miles. They represent a total expenditure of about $200,000,000 of which probably 75 per cent, was contributed by English capital. Some of the faults in submarine cables are of the most extraordinary character. Lightning, earthquakes, landslips, submarine volcanoes, have all to be reckoned with.
To effect repairs forty-one telegrapli ships are maintained. The repairin of an Anglo-American cable is said to have cost on one occasion £95,000.

''The Submerged Tenth."
Shelbyville special to Indianapolis News: Mrs. Louisa Taylor and her seven children are attracting more attention in this place than all the other inhabitants combined. Last fall Mrs. Taylor, with her offspring, were living on the river bank, two miles west of the city, with nothing to shelter them. They were subsisting off the land, and the charity of the people of the neighborhood where they were camping. Being absolutely without covering every time it rained they were drenched, but after a rain they would pull their straw ticks out in the sun, dry them out and occupy them the same night. If there was no sun they slept on them just the same. "While living this way one of the children was taken sick with typhoid fever, and the information being carried to the township trustee, that official went out to the Taylor camp to see what he could do, Mrs. Taylor saw him approaching, and thinking ho was going to try to take them to the county poor-house, she picked up an old shot-gun and remarked that she and her children, as well as the official, would die together before she would be disgraced by being taken to the poor-house. The trustee came back to town and looked over the laws governing his office, and not finding anything that compelled him to distribute charity at the muzzle of a shotfiun, he did not go back to see the Taylors. Other people then took charge of the case, and the Taylors were moved into an old barracks in the eastern part of the city, where the sick child died. In a short time after the family .iad been domiciled in this house the people of the neighborhood had the City Council condemn the old trap, and it: was literally razed over the heads of the occupants. MTaylor then secured a house in the MHilh part of town. Application was made by a citizen to have the older children committed to the female reformatory and to the school at 1'lainlield for boys, but Judge Buckingham ruled that, inasmuch as these are penal institutions, and that no charge was pending against the children, he had no right or authority to send them to prison, even if it

svould benefit their condition. The ehilJren were then restored to their mother. After the lapse of a number of weeks. Mrs. Taylor, ..avmg neglected to pay her house rent, her goods were put out .n the street by a constable. She watched the process of removal complacently, and as soon as the ulliuer went away she knocked a door down and moved back in the house. After this she was taken out of the house, but she secured another shack on an unimproved street, called Saw-dust avenue. Here she lived until a few days ago, when her stuff was again put in the street for non-payment of rent. But Mrs. Taylor was once more equal to the emergency Imposed on her. ihere is a lumber yard near by, and secur.ng a number of old planks, she placed one end of these on a bureau, the other ends on a fence, thus making a roof. Then s..e stood other boards at the sides, thus making a room about six by four feet. In this she put a lot of straw, making the family of eight persons a place to sleep, Their stove is near by, as are a number I of chairs without backs, on which they eat what the children can beg. The scene is one of direst poverty, but through curiosity hundreds of persons passed the Taylor outfit yesterday, for the purpose Df seeing what, they look like. A sorrier spectacle never met the gaze of people in a civilized community. The family— all of them—are pinched, poor, scrawny, almost naked, and look far worse than a pack of Arkansas refugees. Mrs. Taylor absolutely refuses to go to the poorhouse, declaring that is a disgrace that will never come on her so long as she can help it. The curiosity of the people ?oing to see her may result in something being done for them. t'~,
I. A. & M. Electric Line.
At last there is tangible evidence that the Indianapolis, Anderson and Marion electric railroad will be built. Tuesday two forces of men and teams were put to work grading the line between Marion and Fairmount, and other forces are to he organized and put to wojk within the next few days at other points along the proposed line. Noah J. Clodfelter, who has battled for three years against discouraging odds to get this enterprise 011 its feet, said that the line would be in operation between Anderson and Marion by the 1st of September, and between Marlon and Indianapolis by the first of the year. Mr. Clodfelter says the company has been reorganized and placed on a sound financial basis, and that it has ample funds—over $500,000 In the Indianapolis banks—with which to push the work of construction. Frank Mans, of Indianapolis, is the president of the reorganized company, Mr. Clodfelter Is first vicepresident and general manager, and W. R. Pearson, of Fairmount, is the superintendent. In the work of construction a flfty-six-pound rail will be used. There will be thirty-seven sidings between Marion and Anderson, and twenty-two cars
will be operated at the start. There will be two power-houses—one at Fairmount, that is already built, and the other at Alexandria. The road will be built at a cost of $000,000.
T. P. Haugbey's Pardon.
A Michigan City special snys that an effort will be made to secure the pardon of Theodore V. I-laughey, t..e Indianapolis bank wrecker, and his friends who are working in Ills behalf believe that it will be successful, if there is not too much opposition at Indianapolis,
his
expire one year from next August, and his friends feel that at his ago he has suffered enough. It is asserted that it was only a Question whether Haughey or his son Schuyler would have to go to prison, and Mr. Hauglicy said that he would rather remain behind the walls all 01 his life, than to have his son there an hour. The old man has been a model prisoner. He has not one mark against him, and his general business knowledge has been of great value to the institution. Recently, in conversation with one of the officials of the prison, Mr. Haughey said that while president ot the bank he was deceived in what was going on, and it was only when the bank had failed that he realized how he had been duped. His son was spending large sums of money of which he knew nothing, and others in whom he had confidence, betrayed him, Haughey denies that he saved any money out of the bank wreck. He declares that everything he had on earth was given up. His wife has a small amount of property left, and he is anxious to spend the balance of his life in freedom with her. TI«s will soon be seventy-four years old.

A. lllliid 31 mi's Trials.
Isaac Black, a farmer living south of Anderson, who has been blind for years, has just passed through an experience which is attracting the attention of local medical men and surgeons. The first of the last week his eye sockets and sightless orbs began to get sore. Thursday morning he opened his eyes to find that

But gradually the next day the sight left him. and again he is in total darkness. Oculists can give him but little or no hope of seeing again.

Ideal farming comprehends not only the growing of the tallest grain—the most tons-to-tne-acre of hay) the best farming—the farming that pays must contemplate something more than this: for there is a harvest timet and just in proportion as a crop is saved successfully, speedily and economically, in just that proportion may be measured the season's profit or loss.
Harvesting Machines are the profit-bringing kind) they are built fe? long wear, hard work, light draft, and in short, to satisfy. There are other kinds that don cost as much, but there's nothing cheaper than the best.
