■ 1 — " -•- A CHILD’S WONDERFUL MEMORY. She Ik Able to Repeat, It I* Aaurted, Anything She Ever Heard. Baby Ethel Carroll of Oakland is a human phenograph. Every word of a j conversation —no matter how long—names, dah <, figures and bits of oratory I of all degrees of merit, songs and jokes ■ spoken tn her presence, she is able to recall, v.ird tor word, even though'it be 1 Weeks tlnd months after. At her agi—for'she is only 4 years old—much that she hears no doubt is quite unintelligible to her. Sim simply rep atsyvery, thing from memory without knowing might <f tl it xt i f la r w ords. Atm ' Rott TCrcllm, when sue live.-ewith h< r ’ parents. Sim is the idol and wonder <f ’ all who know her, for site is as pretty jas s|)e is clever, The first time that the : child showed her phenomenal trait was | ■a! the age i f 11 mouths. At that time ■ 1 she was taken to see one.of Hoyt’s plays I iat the Mae'loiii ugh theater. Upon returning to her home she .surprised every I one by repeating, word for word, one of the popular songs. From that tijne until now little Ethel has bi on a regular playgoer. Now, at the age of -1, her memory has developed so remarkably that it isa common thing for her afti r seeing a new play to sjng, without a mistake or the least sign of hi sitatii n, song after song that she has m ver heard bi fore. She eau also repeat the lines of the play with wonderful ; ci'iTcetness. Tb.e child has a retentive i memory for nanns ami dates, In spate! of tin. fact that large numbers of people see her daily, .drawn by cariosity, she nevi r forg !s the name of any on ' who is - imrcslueedjo.h'.rt and can toll even the exact' day when she first-tat t them, though it may be immtl'.s alter. .Io 11 titly. her womietful nu niory wa--. j put jo a, s< V're te-t at- a conci rt recital iti Oakland.

Z ■ Hew Hindoos Hoard Jewelry. Never duf’ing its existence lias India been so rich in jewelry as now. The people are always adding to their stock. Savings from nearly all sources are disposed of in this Way, and these savings are being constantly hiadc—often at the expense of clothing, sometimes at the expense of greater necessaries of life.The making and the storing away of wealth in this form is the national peculiarity,of the country. Jewelry is regarded as the most stable kind of wealth, and fortunes are never counted without estimating the value of -the stock of jewelry. It eau always be pledged or disposed of. The market - for its sale is never closed and -never TmjMhost 'ignorant native , Who wishes to sell a- piece of jewelry knows its markt t value quite well. He can scarcely be. cheated. Jewelry forms the greatest factwin matrimony. The most lowly bride has her stridhan, which is.occasionally equal Rvalue to live years’ income of the bridegroom. Th*rd is often a scarcity of clothing, sometimes a scarcity of cooking pots, generally not a particle of furniture, Imt nearly always a stock of jewelry. They wife that has no jewelry possesses nothing else, .the cannot bo robbed- The family that does not have jewelry is absolutely indigent. One of the gri atest Beasts of the jewelry owner* is that his hoards-cannot be taxed. A inan may own jewelry valued at a lakh of-rupees, and pay ifo income tax. This is a source of great satisfaction. Jewelry yields no recurring income, but it is prized more than government paper. If it never increases it never diminishes, ij a national saying, common among men and women alike. No native marriage, except among the most impoverished, takes place without a transfer of jewelry, and very frequently of new jewelry.—London Let# _ _ ,i A Soothing Bell. o "Many sensitive persons are startled by the abrupt, incisive sound given out by the ordinary electric bell. M. Guerre, a Paris electrician, who has beemworking on the idea that this characteristic of the electric bell was not irremediable, has produced a •’bell which gives a continuous musical sound. The note is very soft and swqet, although penetrating, and is said to be an exaggeration of that obtaiued by rubbing the edge of a glass with the finger. Instead of a bell with a hammer and a spring interrupter, a steel bell is used, which is its own interrupter. Wtieii the circuit is closed by the pressure of the button at the other end of the line, it is -released from the electro magnet, forced forward and released again for a number of times wi_tjy great Tapidityl The.vibrg,tion Set up produces the pleasing humnffng instead of the familiar sound so irritating to nervous people. The pitch of the note can at any time be changed. For instance, should there be sickness. Tn a house, "and it is desired .to reduce -tlte-eari-ying-qualify of-the- note, -it eau be lowered until it is audible only to the servants or others whom it is intended to summon. Another English Compliment. Noting the rumor that the empress of Russia may try to have a decree issued by the czar forbidding- ’smoking by women, The sketch says: “However much the czarina may dislike the habit in members of her sex, and however determined she may be not to have those who practice it about Jier person, she may be trusted, as the daughter of our own lamented Princess toqmuch respect for the ‘liberty of the subject’ to make herself responsible for any such despotic amLill advised ordinance. Such liiti-ifi-r^.i'e’with personal lliberty- Would be resented—and not unnaturally Ao—i ven in Russia. In fact,, there is only one civilized country —the United States of America —where this kind of legislation is regarded as a mat- . of course. ’’ • ' '■' i . i

Blaine Was For Silver. The position of Janies G. Blaine on the miney question has been the subject of much inquiry of late, ami a Cincinnati Post representative has succeeded in finding out what he swi on that subject in the United in ISSO. Below we give the exact language used by Mr. Blaine. ? — “On the much vexed and longmooted q'uestion as to bimetallic and monometallic standards my own views are sufficiently indicated in the remarks I have made. I befieve the struggle- now going on in this country and other countries for a -ingle gold standard would, if successful, produce widespread disaster tn and tliroughoHt the commercial world. The“destruction of stiver as inoii’ev, and’establishing gold as the 'ble unit of 4 value, must have a rtjinons .effect of property except those investments which yield a fixed return "in money. Those would 'be enormousely enhanced in’value and would give a •disproportionate and unfair advantage over L every other species of property. Ifs as the most reliable statistics affirm, there are ■' nearly ¥7,000,000,000 of coin or bullion in the world,’very equally divided between gold and silver, it is impossible to strike silver out of existence as money ’without results that will prove distressing to millions r) and utterly disastrolisjto tens of thousands. “I believe gold and, silver to be t.h'e money of the Constitution; indeed, the [money of the American people anterior to the Constitution, which the-grg,at organic law recognized as quite [independent of ks - -e w n -cx-Lite-rtee ; —— —; — No power was conferred on congress to declare either metal should not be money. Congress has, therefore, in my judgement, no power to demon e t ize et th er. • If; “ 'fhefe so re7 silver has been demonetized, 1 am tn favor of remonetizing. it. ; If its coinage has been prohibited, 1 am in favor of ordering it resumed. I am in favor of having it enlarged.” This may be one of thfe causes which have split the patry from the east to the west. The leaders of the party now have all they can do to keep on the sidewhere the majority the republicans are, The dissatisfaction is so great that what they call the bolters may mean the big end of the party — the Blaine men.

Bluffion* ns very much in evidence at Decatur July 4th. The ball t?am, band and Bluffton Boy were participant*, and all three returned crowned with glory. In the morning Bluffton played an interesting game with the Decatur team winning by a "core of 10 to 7. A rnuinng catch m ihe field by Stout was the featuro of the game. At Stei Th Park, L’.lnfflon boy easily ' beat a field ot four- horses in two straight heat*.

They were about all democrats that were over from Bluffton, at lest they partook of the platform until there were 1G drunks to 1 sober in,an—and some say more than that.
