Improvements tor the Menon.

The directors of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad were over their property some weeks since on a quiet tour of inspection, and and some very significant im Srovements hive just been or ered to be begun at once by them, The betterments are all with a view to cutting down the running time, and a vast sum of money will be expended acquiring the desired end. The earnings for the past year have shown increases over the year before bv handsome figures, and this surplus, or the greater part of it, is to be applied in such a way as to make the earnings of 1890 exceed even those of this year. Sixty pound steel rails will be laid on the Indianapolis division over its entire length, while iails weighing fifty-six pounds to the yard vvill be placed on the division be tween New Albany and In dianapolis. All the bridges will be examined and strengthened, where it is found necessary, several curves will be straightened and one or two wooden structures replaced by powerful iron and steel structures. The directors and the man agemen 1 are determined to have their Louisville-Chicago line first class in every particular, and when the proposed betterments shall have been made the present running time will be cut considerably. —Louisville Courier-Journal.

fits the Case Now.

’ Oq the evening of the day that Cleveland beat Kolger for Governor of New York by 200,000, the New York Tribt ne telegraphed to a republican newspaper in one of the rural counties: “Send us 200 words on the result in your county early as possible.” The office boy got the telegram. Everybody else about the office was in such a frame of mind over the returns that he didn’t dare apjproach them. He answered the telegram himself, this way: “There ain’t no 200 words. Everything gone to hell.”— [Pittsburgh (Pa.) Times, rep.

The Republican Party is the Enemy of the Nation.

All that is left of local liberty, of personal liberty, of State rights, of home rule, of free dom in trade of puritj in elections, is due to the conservative efforts of the Democratic pa.ty to defend the Constitution of 1887 against the assaults of covert enemies of the nation now united under the name of the Republican party, loudly clamoring for the public good, but all the time working for private gain and increasing the burdens of the manyfor»the benefit ofthe*few. —Gov. C. F. Black.

In The House of a Rich Japanese.

The wealthy Japanese make no dis* play either in the architecture of their houses or in the way of furnishing, their pride is in the delicacy of their mats and the richness of the satin cushions. The chief room in the house of a rich Japanese is thus described: ‘The salon was 25 feet long by 15 wide. At one end, in the corner, was » small raised platform in a little niche and on on it a fine Imari vase three feethigh, holding flowering branches of the cherry tree. Behind, upon the Wall hung a very valuable but very Ugly kakamo of a god. Twelve blue satin foutons lay in two rows upon the floor and three standing lamps stood in a line between. A folding screen was placed to protect us from draught —and that was the entire furniture of the millionaire's drawing room. The "mats' upon the floor were of whitest and finest straw. The screen was a gorgeous one, with a battle scene painted upon a gold background.” The Japanese keep their bric-a-brac in fireproof buildings, to be taken one at a time, and admired, and then replaced by another.

In New Granada grows a plant which is locally known as the “ink plant” and scienti fical ly as Coriaria thymif olia. Its juice serves, without the slightest preparation, as ink. At first the writing appears red, but in a few hours it assumes a deep black hue. bev eral sheets of manuscript, written with this natural ink, became soaked with seawater on their journey to Europe, but when dried the writing was found to be still perfectly clear. John G. Lehr, appointed by the Allen County Commissionto look up taxes not reported, has made his first statement, showing a total of $3*5,775, the same including Edward Sei del for $70,000, Benjamin Rothschild for a similar amount, besides many others for smaller sums. Speaking of cheap farm pro ducts in Missourian exchange says: “It takes a oushel of oats now to buy a pound of sugar, a cow to buy a coat and a load of potatoes ro buy a pair of boots.” Mr. Edison says he receives an average of 1,000 letters daily many of which contain offers of marriage with his daugh ter. The craze for antique oak and white and gold furniture is on the increase.
