STRANGE FOREIGN PRACTICES.

In Switzerland, it Is said, they will pay higher wages to a milkmaid who ean sing to the oows than to one who cannot. This is done on the prinolple that bad treatment of a cow injuriously affects its milk. When a person wishes to leave a Japanese theater temporarily he is not given a pass oheok, as In this country. The door-keeper takes the person by the hand and stamps on it the stamp of the establishment The form of oath binding on the Mohammedan conscience is to make the Koran rest on the head while the oath is administered. But if the Koran is skillfully held just above the head the form is not valid and the oath not binding. The favorite food of the Sandwioh Islanders is the flesh of the Mexican hairless dog. It is said to taste like spring ohioken, and is considered a great dainty. These dogs are raised in large numbers, and fattened for the market Alin over the city of Berlin are what are called “molkerls," or milk stations. In the basement of an elegant blook of buildings a few cows are kept These are well fed and cared for and furnish elegant milk for the patrons in the neighborhood. Ant vessel causing a disaster at her launoh is regarded by the Japanese as doomed to ill-fortune for her whole oareer. At Osaka lately a vessel capsized while being launched, several persons being drowned. She was destroyed by night with much oeremony. The Siamese have great regard for odd numbers, and Insist on having an odd number of windows, doors, and rooms in their houses and temples. There must be an odd number of steps in the stairs and an odd number of feet in the height of all steeples and minarets. In Paris it is not customary for patients to wait in the ante-chamber of great physicians, but Inquiry has to be made by letters, whioh are rarely answered unless they come from some aristocratio quarter of the city. In some cases, however, numbered tickets are given out at six in the morning.

ELECTRODES.

Royal rakes bring a lot of rubbish to the surfaoe. A messenger boy never seems to get the run of his business, A Connecticut woman named her girl "Darkness,” beoause “men love darkness.” “All things come to him who waits” doesn’t apply to the street car with the disabled motor. It doesn’t hurt a writer half so much to strike a humorous vein as it does to bump his “funny bone. ” The soprano of a ohurch choir has been known to make a hit that entitled her to the second bass for life. “Thus are the mighty overthrown,” said the favorite base-ball fielder when the fly ball went over hts head. The man who invariably whistles does very little thinking. But he keeps o' her people thinking, Just the same, The handlers of asbestos have now gone into a trust, finding that this is i he only way they can withstand the fire of their enemies.

POOD POR THOUGHT.

The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is character. A man who has tastes like mine, but stronger, will rule me any day, and make me love my ruler.—Emerson. When we are least worthy,, most tempted, hardest, unkindest, let us yet commend our spirits iptp his hands. Whither else dare we send them?—Geo. Maodonald.

RESCUED BY DAVY CROCKETT.

An Exciting Adventure with Savage Apaches on the Western Plain*. “I was scouting with a party ’way back in the early ’sO’e," said a Western pioneer, “and had the misfortune to be captured by Apaches. They made a foroed march of sixty or seventy miles to their village, and there held a powwow. It was deoided that roasting was good enough for me. I was tied to a tree about a foot in diameter, and enough fuel piled round me to barbecue an ox. It chanoed that a number of the oopper-oolored devils were off hunting, ana it was decided to postpone the obsequies until they returned. They were expeoted b;.ck early in the morning, and I was left to pass the night trussed up like a turkey for the spit. About 'i o’clock in ihe morning, as I judged by the stars, I detected a dark object creeping toward me. He crept cautiously forward, out my oords, and motioned me to follow him. I made him understand by signs that the cords had been tied so tight that I had lost the use of my limbs. He ploked me up as though I were a feather, threw me on his shoulder and walxed, with catlike steps, out of the camp. After we had traveled a couple of hundred yards we were joined by four others, whom I reoognized as members of my soouting party. Their horses were tied in a ohaparral a mile away, ani we were soon making goo 1 time out of that neck o’ ‘Say, pards,’ said the man who ha i carried me out of the- camp, ‘we’re safe enough now. S’p- se we stop and llcker up.' We came to a halt, and he produced a canteen fuk of whisky. We drauhalf of it, and tHe accommodating § ranger rubbed my wrists and ankles with the remainder, and got the blood to flowing free onoe more. It was then I learned that I owed my rescue to Davy Crockett. My party had fallen in with him shortly after my oapture; and he had trailed the redskins to their lair and robbed them of their prey. Yes, sir, Davy Crockett ‘toted’ me, as ho called it, on his back once. ”

Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Since 1371 Oliver Wendell Holmes has lived in a plain red brick house in Boston. Here a great many of his late poems have been written, and here he is likely to spend the remainder of his days. Oliver Wendell Hoimes, though he does not look it, is 83 years old. Day in and day out he receives a small army of callers, who, unbidden, never fail to appear upon his doorstep. Autograph seekers, would-be poets of a tender age, older ones who will never see 60 again, but who, nevertheless, essay the ascent of the most difficult mountain that ever confronted man; young ladies in their teens, with dainty scented papers, joined with ribbons; spinsters, austere and prim, with manuscripts written in faded ink, about as intelligible as the hieroglyphics of the early Azteos—these, together with students, scientists, doctors, professors and divines, are continually seeking him. Every mail—there are some half dozen in the day—brings him letters, books and manuscripts from all parts of the oountry and, except in isolated instances, the whole of them come from people of whose very existence he was unaware. Some ask him to write a criticism, some a preface, some require a rhyme corrected, all want something done, and so fast do these aooumula' e that to use the poet’s own words, “To neglect attending to them for a day or two would mean to have my room full." In appearanoe the poet is perhaps a trifle under the medium height, and gives one the impression of being very methodical and exaot in his habits. In conversation his whole face lights up and his eyes glow. When he laughs he looks more than ever the whole-hearted man he is.

Chinese Idolatry.

Amidst much that is grotesque, degrading and sinful about Chinese Idolatrous rites, two negative features placo their temples on a higher level than those of any other heathen land. There has been no instance of uman sacrifice and no deification of vice. No human victim was ever immolated on a Chinese altar. The cruel rites practiced by the ancient Britons. Aztecs and Egyptians would horrify the humane monks who leaeh the preservation of all animal life. No Chinese religious sect has ever countenanced in its temple rites the least taint of such licentious orgies as were found in the hieroduli dance to Aphrodite Pandemos or the obscene rites of the jDurga-puja. The Chinese pantheon, to its credit be it said, ha - never contained a Venus, Lakshmi, Mylitta or an Ashtereth. No nautch girls as in India, or courtesans as in anolent Greece, ever found employment in a Chinese temple. Votaries of pleasure though the Chinese are, they have never allowed vioe and obsoeniry to find a place in their temples and mythologies. How far that has operated to preserve them as ; nation, while contemporary nations have gone to decay, who shall sa.V? While the Chinese believe in fiends and evil spirits and propitiate them Just to keeptuem irom mischief, their deepest ho uage Is called forth in the worship of the heroes of their nation and :he patriaohs of their tribes.

He Died of Sheep Rot.

A death from a most unusual oauee was recorded in New York City lately. A couple of weeks ago Bernard B. Miller, a tailor, was admitted to Bellevue Hospital suffering with what was suppose i to be erysipelas. Finally he died. An autopsy revealed that the unfortunate man had not died of erysipelas, but of sheep rot. A little before he was taken sick he had been cleaning a woolen suit of clothes, evidently made from the wool of sheep affected by the’ rot. His hands and face were terribly swollen. The doctor who conducted the autopsy says that Miller was literally ea en by the bacilli. With a piece of glass he scraped hundreds of the deadly germs from the dead man's hands. The disease te most deadly, but fortunately of not frequent occurrence.

A Cow Killed by Squirrels.

For some time the neighborhood about Peterville, Ky., has been infested with gray squirrels which have dqne Incredible damage; A farmer named Mingus, the other day heard g great bellowin,; in his field, and going to see the cause, found a fine Jersey cow covered with thousands of the squirrels actively engaged in tearing off her flesh. Mr. Mingus found that the animals had eaten out the cow’s eyes and had almost torn away her ears. Finally the poor brute was freed from her multitudinous foes, but it was too late. The poor cow died almost immediately.

BY FAITH AND FIVE DOLLARS.

How a Plucky Man Bum 600 MUas of Bailroad In Texas. For real pluck and enterprise the building of the beginning of the Aransas Pass Railroad In Texas Is probably unequaled. This, which is now one of the great systems of the State, was built by a man whose oiffy resources were faith and a borrowed $5 bill. He move up from Corpus Oblate to San Antonio with all of his possessions heaped on a two-wheeled cart He got a oharter to build a railroad from San Antonio to Aransas Pass. He graded a mile of it, throwing a good deal more than one shovel of dirt with his own hand. The reoeiver of .another road loaned this Indefatigable builder enough old rails for a mile of track. In a distant part of the State was purchased an engine whioh had been oondemned six years before and sent to the shops to be wrecked for sorap iron. Two old oars were picked up somewhere else at a bargain. And that old engine, drawing those old cars, steamed into San Antonio. On engine and oars in bold lettering was painted in lamp-black “S. A A. P.” With one mile of old-rail traok and with the equipment of the old engine and the two old cars, Uria i Lott started the Aransas Pass system. There has been some tall financiering In the history of railroad building in this country, but there isn’t anything which, for dazzling pluok, quite approaches the story of the building of this 600 miles of road in South Texas. To the one mile of traok three were added—three miles by a dicker for some second-hand rails which a street oar company ha 1 bought from a narrow-guage oompaay. On thus basis a oredlt trade was made with a Pennsylvania rolling mill for ten miles of rails.. When they arrived there wasn’t money enough in the treasury to pay the freight. But it was got somehow. Ten miles of traok gave the foundation for bonds whioh built forty miles more, and bo the system grew into its present proportions. This man who built the Aransas Pass system rode from San Antonio to Ohioago at one oritioal period on his enterprise without a cent in his pooket. He had transportation, but he hadn’t anything to buy food, and be went through hungry.

A Pathetie Soene.

"The most pathetio scene I ever witnessed,” says a Texan, “was a third of a century ago, but it is as plain to my eyes to-day as it was then. We had been bothered by horse thieves down on the frontier, and you know what that means in a wild country. A crowd of us started out after the sooundrels, and just before we reached the Rio Grande we ?aw two horsemen off to the left, who acted suspiciously. After them we went, and it was a pretty race for awhile till they disappeared behind a clump of trees. We had shot to stop them, and when we got in sight again we found that one horse had been shot, and they had deserted him, while both were riding the other. They were evidently Mexicans —a man and a boy—and the man showed fight, turning and firing at us, finally hitting our Deputy Sheriff. We gained on them rapidly, and presently a welldirected fire sent them all in a heap. “When we reached them the ‘boy’ was kneeling in front of the dying Mexican, sobbing and moaning as If her heart would break, while her hair, which had fallen off from her cap, fell below her waist. It was a oase of elopement, and they had taken us for her father’s servants, while we had been equally stupid and had taken them for horse thieves. When he began to gasp she drew a little pearl-h ndled revolver, and before any one oould think of stopping her, placed the muzzle under her ear and fell into his arms, a corpse. No, we never heard wi:o they were. We buried them and went alter the horse thieves."

Suggestions for Carvers.

If there is any roe a piece should be placed on eaeh plate. Beef’s heart should be out in thin sl.oes and served hot. A guest should say whether he prefers the roast rare or well done. A piece of the back and belly of salmon should go to eaoh person. Tongue must be out very thin; the central portions are the choicest. The results are in ratio with tee skill used, not the force expended. The head pieces of all fish are considered the most delioate and desirable. A haunch of venison should be carved in slices down to the bone, from the broad end upward. A few drops of lemon juioe and a little pepper and salt Improve the flavor of mu .ton wonderfully. Great care must be exercised in the carving of fish, to keep the flakes from falling to pieces. Have plenty of room upon the platter and in its vicinity; a great many mishaps are thus prevented. The sirloin of beef should be out in thin shoes, a portion of the upper part and the tenderloin going on eaoh plate.— Good Housekeeping.

The Queen Studying Hindostanee.

Queen Viotorla some time ago commenced studying Hindostanee, and her tut r declares teat she is a more apt pupil and knows a great deal morf of the language than the Sultan of Turkey, the head of the faithful. The Queen has several Hindoo servants in her household, and all her oonversa' ion with them is carried on in their native tongue, a fact which perhaps brings home to their minds that her majesty is indeed Empress of India. Victoria is so proud of her accomplishments in this direction that she is sending a contribution to the Christmas number of the Strand Magazine. It will consist of a letter sent to the Shah and the wellknown letter to the English people after the death of the Duke of Clarenoe, both of which have been translated into Hindostanee by the Queen *ud will be so printed in the magazine.

A House in a Bottle.

Some time ago a blind boy residing in Chicago constructed a miniature house inside an ordinary four-ounce bottle. The building was made up of forty pieces of wood, all neatly fitted and glued together. As wonderful as this may seem, it is only a part of the wonders of this sightless lad. After completing the bouse and giving it finishing touones to hie heart’s content, he set about fasten" ing the pork in the bottle, but how he accomplished the startling feat le a mystery to this day. Inside the bottle, below the neck, a small wooden peg is driven through the cork, the ends of the peg extending far enough on either side to prevent tee oork being removed from the bottle without its lower end being torn off. The boy himself is unable to explaiff how he accomplished this last moat astonishing piece of handiwork.

Year in und year out it is expected to uphold, maintain md defend ihe faith, as weli as support and advance the interests of its candidates. While engaged in the performance of this duty the press is entitled to the best fin an* cifll backing within the power of those in authority to give. Especially ie this the case where its local orgnn : zation is in ,be minority and it is required to wage 1 attle aga net odds.

DELAYING PAY DAY.

The deficiency Oi over ten million dollars arising from tlm excess of pe..B : ons falling due above the amount, o, money estimat’d and appropriated for the purpos during the Dreseut fiscal year is by no means the worst feature of th: situation. The Pittsburg Chron* icle-Telegraph, a stanch supporter of the administration, says: “It is a ell km Wn ihaf pension c.ises are now being heid back because there is not money enough in the tress* ury to pay them. It is stated that i her" ere row 200,000 ca ;ee od the completed files of the pension ifiice, certificates of wh ch «re withheld.”

This is a m acknowledgment >f teroi-ora.} bankruptcy. For ix monvi , pu«t. ihe demand upon the r vt’.ues of Iho gov lament has been -a u in excess of re* eeipt* that ;■ |of C y j c< 1 i on'v ' •>' . d oy putting off its creditors, counting the g >lh reserve behind outturn liug demand notes in order to make a sh iw of surplus, and seizing upou the fund for t e redemption of national bank notes to eke out necess ry current expeudiiur . The fact cm no longer be concealed that the pension extrava. gance, piled on top of- other un-warranted-expenditure has swamped the treasury. The ur der sti m tes for the next fisc 1 year, wher. considered in their relation to retual conditions, constitute a proof of wilful unfaithfulness on t&e part of tneoutgoiug administration that is probably withoul any parallel in tbe history of the republic. N thipg is more cert” In than the necessity of increased taxation to p»y debts already incurred. The i Cleveland administration will have jto begin business under the uiost disadvantageous circumsta ices, y making good tbe shortcomings of a spendthrift predecessor,and submitting itself to the adverse criticism sure to be elicited on the ooe

hand from increased taxation, and on the other from lessened exni nditure. Those who have to pay more money, and those who find themselves obliged to take less, seldom take imo account the urgency which compels taxation and retrenchment. No matter what may be the consequences, the new management mus foot the bills of thj* old management. The Harrisonians have bad their billion dollar dance; the taxpayers must pay the piper.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS!— We have a ton of choice candy at rock-bottom prices, Laßue Bros. “***,' ’’ iu the Republican, asks : —“Whioh party plunged this country into a civil war whioh cost millions of dollars and thousands of lives?

The Republican party was and is seotional. Daniel Webster predicted many years prior to its organization that the euooess of such a party meant disruption and oivil war. It succeeded to power with the declarations of its platform and leaders boldly set forth—“No union wiili slaveholders;” “The constitution is a covenant with death, and the Union in league with de.th;” it wa ted an “antislavery God, a. anti-slavery Bible, aud an anti-Blavery Constitution;’’ it expressed a cheerful wiJlinguese to “let the Uniou slide;” “Helper’s Impending Crisis, demanding that rapine, wnr and the torch sweep over the soutli,” was recommended by sixty-five republican congressmen, including our own Colfax; Old John 1 rown committed the fiist overt aot, ana he was unlit Id and defended by the republican party. On the whole we would say the facts indicate that the republican party is responsible.

Which pnrty predominated in the struggle for the m&intainance of our government? From the univeisal success of the republican party at the polls, by large majorities, throughout the Union, during the war, very positively indicates that republic can voters remained :«t home to do the voting while Democratic voters pressed to the front to put down the rebellion, we would say the Democratic “party predominated in the struggle for the maintenance of our government ” The balance of the queries are merely presumptive assumptions, without foundation, and need no answer.
