RENSSELAER. JASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY JUNE 20. 1890.

This is the way Private J ohn Alien, the congressional wit, got his title: He ran for congress in Mississippi against General Tucker, who opened the campaign with a rhetorical allusion to his services in the war, describing a battle in which he had commanded the Confederates, sleeping :n a tent on the mountain side on the night of the battle. When he had finished Allen got up and said: “Friends and fellow citizens: Its all true what General Tucker told you about his sleeping in his tent that night befdre the battle. I know all about it, for I was guarding that tent all night long in the cold and wet on picket. And now I just want to say o all of you who were generals in the war, and slept at night in your guarded tents, like General Tucker, you vote for him. But all you fellows who guarded the general’s tents in the wet and cold like me, you vote for Private Allen.” Of course, Private Allen was triumphantly elected and his title goes with his honors. —Boston Herald.

•‘A FISK ADKXRXNCS TO OOMUBCT PRINCIPLES. ’’

The merchants of New York, who appeared before the senate finanee committee, spoke thus plainly against the McKinley Rill: “We have come here to protect against this bill, not only because it is destructive of lsrge commercial interests, but because, in a sense, we are the representatives of the great mass of coi snmers, and their rights are jeopardized by the bill. “We protest also because the bill is an example of the worst kind of class legislation, in that it discriminates against the importer and in favor of the domestic manufacturer, and discriminates also against the poor consumer and in favor of the wealthy.”

The Chicago Bargain Store is selling goods at less than cost — what they will cost you elsewhere. The Philadelphia World, a re* publican journal, is evidently not in favor of the McKinley tariff bill and has the following to say of it: “The gentleman from Ohio, McKinley by name, stands a very fair chance of going down to future fame as tb* man who put the lid on the coffin of the republican party. This may be treasonable, but it looks very much that way. The very principle of this bill, which is that ot coddling a small class of the people- the manufacturers —at the cost of the best interests of the multitude, is the most pernicious thing about it. There is scarcely a necessary of life wlmli enters into the poorest homes the cost* of which it will not, if made law, increase.” The best improved harvester & binder manufactured can Ce inspected at C. A. Roberts’ imple* ment house, Rensselaer Ind.— Come and see if I have not told the truth once, as you all know it is hard for implement men to do this. Yours, 0. A. Robert*.

Ella Higginson’s novelet, “A Love and a Passion” ends in a highly dramatie manner, and “The Story of Dagma” is perhaps the best of Miss Alice Bowman’s efforts.

DEATH IN THE DESERT.

The Horrible Experience* of a Party of Invading Chinese, It has just come to light that a party of Chinese, who last week attempted to smuggle themselves into the United States from Lower California, got lost on the desert and had a terrible experience, one of the party dying from thirst and exposure. They found the frontier so closely guarded, says the San Diego Union, that they stole a march toward the eastward and got into the desert. Here they got lost and wandered aimlessly around for several days, suffering unutterable agonies. One of the Mongolians was a youth of some 14 years. He gave out under the terrible suffering and became crazy. In his ravings he imagined the blistering sand was liquid water and eagerly filled his parched mouth with the burning particles. This only added to his horrors and pretty soon he lay down so die, his companions being in too pitiful a condition to render him any assistance. Here they heaped a pile of sand upon him and left him alone to sleep his last long slumber, while they, with swollen tongues, aching limbs, and heavy hearts, continued their aimless wanderings—lost in a trackless desert It is asserted that they at last reached the railroad and soon reached Los Angelos—minus everything they had attempted to bring into the country except the clothes upon their backs. They had thrown away the bundles containing the many things the Chiney hold dear, including a large quantity of opium, all of which mark their track upon the waste of sands. As the almond-eyed ones have a system of spreading information among themselves, it is quite likely this terrible experience will serve to prevent any more of them attempting to invade the United States yia the desert route.

KEEP LOVE’S BLOOM.

Advice to Girl* When Youth* Come Sweetheart lng. Choose yonr sweetheart carefully, wisely, and tenderly, my dear girls. Remember he is to be more than even this to you some day—he is to be your husband, for surely you are not one of the girls who have a sweetheart here, and one there, and give a little love to this one and a little love to that one, until when the real one appears the perfect bloom is gone from the peach, and she eannot give him What he offers her. You girls know very quickly when a man means more than ordinary friendship for you. You have an instinct that tells you that this big. good-looking fellow has come sweethearting, and that this is the time for you to study him a little bit Think out if his temper and yours are certain to agree well together; think out if his tastes and yours are alike, or if they can grow to be so; for you know, little women, if you want to be happy in your t married life you must loam the great and wonderful virtue of adaptability. You must choose your sweetheart as you do a new gown, so that he will wear well says the Ladies’ Home Journal, but you want him lor longer than winter; he must last through the long summer days and through the winter ones, and before you put your hand in his and tell him that you are willing to fight the battle of life together, think it all over well and remember that you are ehooslng your sweetheart, not for a day or a year, but for all through Hie, and, please God, if you love each ether enough, for after death.

ELECTRICITY IN PUDDLES.

H°n*» S«t to Dadoing In the Streets es New York by a Leak In a Conduit. There was a series of performances in William street, New York, recently that partook of the nature of a circus. At the curb in front of No. 164 a truck had been backed up to unload. This made it neceasary that horses carrying on street trafflo should pass around the truck and approach tho curb on the opposite side of the street. The pavement is uneven and the hollows were puddles of water. The momait a horse put a hoof into one of these puddles he sprang into the air with a snort. When he alighted, if he was a particularly well-fed horse, he tried to run away. After a few exhibitions of this kind the word was passed along William street that an electric wire had broken under ground. Hundreds of employes In the stores poured out on the sidewalks and watched the passing conveyances. The vehicles were mostly trucks, and the orowd took especial delight when any old cart horse came poking along. When it reached the danger spot the crowd held their breath, and at sight of the nag opening its sleepy eyes in surprise and climbing into the air the crowd roared. One old cart horse by a curi. ouA mishap executed a tremendous double act. He got his hind hoofs in one puddle of water and fore hoofs in another, and did the customary act of going into the air lice a cat, while his legs dangled down, and when he alighted he struck in an/jther puddle with the same results. The plug got so much electricity in him that he ran half a block before he could be stopped. The news passed from one truckman to another as they met iu the lower part of the city, and afterward every truckman gave the electric puddles a wide berth. Superintendent H. J. Smith, of the Edison Electric Light company station on Pearl street, from which the underground wires that run tnrough William street proceed, said that the electrio current was low tension, and even if there was an escape of fluid In the street the effect would be very slight. It would only tickle the horses 1 nerves ,a little. The gathering of water ini puddles in the pavement would serve undoubtedly, he added, to distribute the electricity. Laborers were set to work on the conduit, and a break about two inches long was found on the weßt side of the street. Whether there is a corresponding break in the oonduit on the east side remains to be determined. The current was shut off, and the dancing of the horses ceased. Superintendent Smith said that the force of the current was about one hundred volts.

TWO VERY ODD PLANTS.

One of Them U*eful to Check the Growth of Beard. Another very funny plant in the government’s botanical garden is the so-called barber plant, the leaves of which are used in some parts of the East by rubbing on the face to keep the beard from growing. It is not supposed to have any effect' on beard that is already rooted, but merely to act as a preventative boys employing It to keep the hair from getting a start on their faces. It is also employed by some oriental people who desire to keep parts of their heads free from hair, as a matter of fashion. Also found In the botanical garden is the ••Cruel plant,” which is so designated because it catches butterflies and kills them for sheer sport Its flowers attract the poor little flutterer by the honey it offers, and when the victim lights upon it it grabs the butterfly by the head and holds it fast until the captive dies. Then the flower drops it on the ground and lies in wait for • fresh unfortunate.

A curious looking tree from the Isthmus of Panama bears a round red fruit big as an apple, which has this remarkable faculty, that its juice rubbed on tough beef or chicken makes the meat tender by tbe chemical power it possesses to separate tbe fiber. One is interested to observe in the botanical green houses three kind of plants that have real consumption of the lungs— Ine leaves, of course, being the lungs of the plant The disease is manifested by the turning of the leaves from green to white, the affection gradually spreading from one spot until, when a leaf is all white, it is lust about to die. Cruelly enough, as it would seem, the gardeners only try to perpetuate the disease for the sake of beauty and curiosity, all plants of those varieties that are too healthy being thrown away.
