The departure of the Democratic police and fire department will not cause much repining.

The Chicago market recovered slightly yesterday from the depression which followed the New York failures.

The Democratic majority in the house is desperate and would count in any Democratic contestant who could present the shadow of a case.

Tbere may be a time when the Democrats again will be in power in the city, but it would be a very hazardous prophecy to set the date for such an event.

The new city council will be organized to-night and new city officials elected. By the end of the week the police and fire departments will be wholly under Republican control.

The New York Tribune prints a special from Indianapolis to the effect that Senator Harrison's recent visit to that city was to set in motion a literary bureau boom for the presidential nomination.

The Senate, yesterday, without debate or without objection being offered passed the bill to plate General Grant on the retired list, with full rank and pay of general of the army, which is, "with commutations, about $17,500.

Mr. Hewitt is fooling with thfe tariff bill. But Mr. Hewitt had previously announced his intention of quitting public life and the fate of Mr. Morrison did not terrorize him. Mr. Hewitt merely intended to put his departure from, public affairs beyond the possibility of a change of mind on his own part.

The Gazette is about the only newspaper in the country seeking to make capital against General Grant out of the failure of the firm, of which the ex-preeident is a member. We have sot seen a. newspaper even of the most pronounced bourbon stripe, from the Cincinnati Enquirer to the New York Work, that has not had tbe decency to

acknowledge that General Grant has been victimized and to express sympathy for him. Tke Gazette, however, in the same spirit in which it used the death of General Tom Brady's father to make a political point, is now engaged in trying to make it appear that General Grant is a swindler, '-t

The contest in the Methodist general conference for the election of bishops is now at white heat and today will end the suspense. The means used in the contest are reported as mostdisgracefni. In fact this is openly charged by no less a person than Dr. Hatfield of Chicago, who created quite a scene in the conference, which thus described: "Next to the reputation of my wife and family," he said, "there is nothing in the world that concerns me so closely as the reputation of tbe Metbodlst church, was born lu the church, and my affection for it is imperishable. I am deeply im pressed, therefore, when I think how seriously the reputation of the church threatened by what has been said and done in this matter of the election of bishops.- There was a time when dele, gates would spend hours on their knees, and then rise to cafet a vote for bishops. That time seems to have given way to a period of cau causing, log-rolling, and-wire-pulling. [Cries of "order."] The eyes of hundreds of thousands of Methodists in tbe United States are turned to this body and watch ing this very matter. Let us proceed to It in a way that will not shock and shame all those who love the church. Lot us take up the election at an early day, so that there shall be no opportunity to pro long these dutrageous—

Here loud cries of "Order" drowned Dr. Hatfield's voice. "I wiil not be interrupted," he said. "It is an outrage that man can hardly get out of a car before some one comes to him, and—11 "Order, order," rang in all parts of the hall, while a score of delegates shouted for recognition. Amid the confusion Dr, Baldwin, of Baltimore, succeeded in rais ing the point that Dr. Hatfield was out oi order. The chair ruled that he was not, but that he still had the floor. Dr. Hat field resumed, though amid continued in terruptions, and succeeded in saying: declare that it is an unseemly and unbe^ coming thing that members of this body can hardly set foot in Pennsylvania be fore they are button-holed by delegates who suggest all kinds of combinations.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Miner's Strike.

To the Editor of the Express. -BRAZIL, Ind., May 13. SIR: I may state for the benefit of your many readers and the general pub l|c that we, the miners on a strike resist ing a reduction of 25 per cent, per ton for mining, are of the same opinion we were eleven weeks ago, when this strike com incnced. That to go to work on such reduction would leave us with too little wages for us to support our families with Therefore it is to be hopeTk our employers wjll' withdraw such proposition and offer us such terms that will be satisfac tory to employer and employee and bring this uncalled for strike to an end The miners are not responsible for this strike, as we have been and are willing to arbitrate or compromise and settle the difficulty. With the exceptions of a few men working at Mr. Johnston's mine, or the Nickel Plate, this district stands as solid as when the strike commenced. The few miners working at the Nickel Plate can not have any effect on tbe stilke In general. Our friends have responded nobly in the last few weeks In sending us finance. We hope they will still contln ue to do so. JUSTICE.

The Frequency of Ocean Disasters. New York Mail and Express. More than 2,000 lives a year are lost by disasters to steamships, is vastly more appalling than the statement that the State of Florida and the bark Pomona collided in midocean three weeks ago to-morrow night, and both vessels sank almost instantly, carrying down to death nearly 150 persons There is an average of one steamship dasaster for every week in the year, and no indications are visible that the rate will diminish. The people are horrified- by such trage* dies of the sea as the loss of the State of Florida, the wreck of the Steinmann off Sambro Light last month, and the destruction of the City of Columbus off Gay Head in January but they are probably unaware that the aggregate annual loss of life by steamship disasters is more than as great as the loss of life by the greatest marine catastrophe of history, the foundering of the British man-of war Royal George, in 1S11, with 2,000 men on board, or tbey would not be so indifferent to the fatal carelessness of navigators. They must discriminate more closely between steamship companies, bestowing their patronage upon lines known to excel in the construction of their ships, the selection of their men, and the vigilance of their superintendence. It will pay steamship companies to deal very severely with officers whose ships suffer disaster and to employ the best methods science has devised for the navigation of vessels. If an alarm Iond enough to prevent collisions cannot be sounded from the deck of a ship during fogs and dark nights, peremptory orders to anchor until light returns should be given, and every master shoold know that a disaster will cost him his position. Methods to prevent disasters should be adopted by steamship companies voluntarily, but the law must also be made to increase safety of life at sea.

Governor Cleveland, has signed the bill to prohibit the board of education in New York City from closing the school to colored children. The board had voted to close them next September, but this stops them,

Shakespearian Slang.

Hermit, in Troy Times. The power of Shakespeare over the public is shown by the extent to which his phrases, and even his slang, has become incorporated into our language.

trade), "short and

milksop is also unconsciously quoting Shakespeare, and even "loggerhead" is of the same origin. "Extempore" is first found in Shakespeare, and so are "Almanacs." The "elm and vine" (as a figure) may also be mentioned. Shakespeare is the first author that speaks of "the man in the moon," or mentions the potato, or uses the term "eyesore," for annoyance. Another often-quoted utterance may be here mentioned, simply because it is generally misunderstood: "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin," which is supposed to express the power of sympathy, whereas it sorely referred to the widespread operation of selfishness.

A Conn try House In Kentucky. Courier-Journal. English novels have made the novelreading world familiar with the charactistics of English country gentlemen "their hospitality, their broad acres, and, above all, the comfort of their homes. Around their hearthstones gather their friends from far and near, and all the comforts and all the refinements of modern civilization are called in to make them happy. It is the same at Mt. Sterling. There is none of that pretentious shoddiness which so disgusts one among the wealthy parvenues of large commercial centres.

Comfort, not style, elegance, not attempted show, are the rule. The house is large and roomy, and seems to be meant to accommodate a large number of guests, as no doubt it doeB. Every room is a model of comfort. Great feather beds inviting you to slumber, remind one of the good old Knickerbocker homes about which Irving loved to write. The fireplaces are broad, hearty and hospitable, just the kind to make your heart warm and fill you with a feeling of satisfaction toward yourself and all the world. The furniture is in accord with what you would expect in a home where com fort ruled and not show. Sofas made to sit on and to lie on and not to look at are scattered about and are covered with rich and warm-looking rugs, while bright and substantial-looking carpets are spread over the floors. The three graces of modern civilization—order, elegance and comfort—show themselves everywhere, and tbe greatest of these, as my genial host and his sister will tell you, is comfort.

An OMtuarjr for a Iilve Girl. ANew York newspaper correspondent who has reached down east early in the season writes: Let us speak good word for the Maine girl. She is a splendid housewife she has beauti arms, and time to see them is when she is making bread. Why hasn' Longfellow written of "The Baking ef the Bread" along with the building of a ship? Or has he? The Maine girl is fleshy as a general thing. She has a rosy, round face she has hazel eyes, swept by long, silky lashes she has brains as sure and true, if not

and truer than

Boston brains. Her lips are ripe and full. She sings from sunrise until she seeks her downy pillow at night. She is merry and chirp as a sparrow when she laughs she throws back her head. She looks beautiful It is a grand sight to see a Maine girl laugh. It is thrilling, natural and un affected. It is splendid it is naturespoor, fallen nature risen. Where is is the artist to paint the Maine girl laughing? to save that face on canvas? to duplicate that mouth in oil colors? If your phonograph has nothing but a Maine girl's laugh to throw back upon you, you are rich in melody. There is a sweet simplicity about the girl. We are happy at introducing her to any strangers, and hope we may be re membered, either by cake or invitation, when the marriage bells are ringing.

Tbe Parting Kiss.

Chicago Herald. The familiar and kiss emphasized Good-bye now write as soon as you get there!" rang out on the morning air at a small station, when a gentlein remarked: "Do you know, never see any one kissing good-by at a railway station but I think of how I first met my wife." "Now don't tell that silly thing again," interrupted his life companion, as

Bhe

blushed a little,

and suddenly became interested in the scenery. But the unheed ing husband continued: "It was at Indianapolis. In the Union Depot there one night she was bidding her brother good-by just as he was startin for along trip to the west. He stooi on the car steps and the on the depot platform for their last kiss but just as he turned ana went intothecar I stepped down to the platform. Immedi ately I felt a pair of arms around my neck and a pair of soft lips rained kisses on my face and mouth before I had time to'protest. You see, she had mistaken me for her brother, but the result was that I fell in love with her kisses and" "I think," interrupted the lady, "that you and your friend had better go into the smoking car if you want to talk Buch nonsense. And so another little romance of the rail ended in smoke.

Harder to Kill than a Horse. I Indianapolis Times. It is not generally known that the country people along the line of the electric railway make strange use of the insulated rails, which are tbe medium of the electricity on this tramway, in connection with one of which an extraordinary and very remarkable occurrence is reported. People have no objection to touch the rail and ceive a sharp shock, which is, however, harmless, at leatt so far. On a recent evening a ploughman, returning from work, stood upon this rail in order to mount his horse. The rail is elevated on insulators eighteen inches above the level of the tramway. As soon as the man placed his bands on the back of the animal it received a shock, which at once bronght it down, and, falling against the rail, it died instantly. The remarkable part is that the current of electricity which proved fatal to the brute must have passed through the body of the man and proved harmless to him.

IN THE L&SO OF APPLEJACK.

Its Peculiar Aatuaan Crop Followed by a Suggestive Spring Harvest. Mlddletown, N. J.,Letter.

There is much rivalry between the farmers living on the boundaries of Orange and Sussex counties in the matter of superiority in the early spring black snake crop. The Sun mentioned a few days ago the harvesting of the first crop on tbe farm oi James L. De Witt, near Deckerlown, and the subsequent -gathering of a fair yield by Frank Knight at Purdy's Station. De Witt's crop measured up three rods, a falling off of five rods in the total of the first yield on the corresponding date in 1883. Knight's gathering strung out a good four rods, quite up to the average of last year, when he harvested his first snakes a week later.

These returns from the above farms worried Farmer Moses Rhinehart, of Purdy's' Station. His back meadow had never disappointed him before. Last spring, the second week in April, it yielded him in half a day's threshing, thirty-seven black snakes, nine garter snakes, and a milk snake. The black snakes measured up over ten rods, and the garter snakes and D^k snake netted him a rod and a lnRf. Last month, after De Witt and Knight made their first spring's harvesting, Rhineheat went out to see what the black meadow would do this season as a starter. To his surprise the crop was a total failure. Not even a garter snake had sprung up.

In the meantime both De Witt and Purdy have taken in their second crop. They alw«v- *-ke it in early in May. As staUvi in the Sun De Witt said at the time he harvested in April that if his second yield didn't measure up nine rods he would consider it a failure. It yielded fifty-five black snakes. They measured eighteen good, honest, oldfashioned rods, or an average of less than three snakes to the rod of sixteen and a half feet. This beats the record of De Witt's stone lot. Knight's second crop was a failure. He only took in from bis hill lot ni^ie black snakes or less than three rods.

After these two second crops were harvested oh the rival farms, Mr. Rhinehart investigated his back meadow again on Monday last. He then saw, as he says, that he had been a trifle ahead of the temperature on his farm on his first visit, for this time he garnered 65 beauties, measuring up 21 rods. The three farms have yielded therefore, during the past three weeks, 144 black snakeB, with a total measurement of one-eighth of a mile and nine rods. It is feared that none have been left for seed.

It migbtalso be stated that the annual yield of applejack in Orange and Sussen counties is about 20,000 gallons. It is made in the fall. The snakes are herein the spring.

"John Gilpin's Ride."

London Magazlze. -Sf "John Gilpin's Ride" was composed by Cowper somewhere about the year 1780 or 1782, and under the following circumstances, as he told them himself While on a visit to his friend and admirer) Lady Austen, he was suffering one evening from excessive melancholy, which her ladyBhip thought to relieve by relating to him a funny story It was a story she remembered from childhood and which Bhe had often related to the little ones gathered at her house. "John Gilpin's Ride" she denominated her tale, and

Bhe

went on

and told it in bright, sparkling narrative style. Its effect on the fancy of Cowper was enchanting. On the following morning he appeared at the breakfast table with a countenance all smiles, and he told Lady Austin that he had been kept awake balf the night by thoughts of her story and bis involuntary bursts of laughter at the comical scenes flashed back upon him. And he furthermore told her that he had resolved to put it into a ballad, the general construction of which he had already in mind. The ballad was written and given to Lady Austen, and she insisted upon giving it to the publisher of her favorite newspaper. So it found its way to the public and afterwards Henderson, the actor, recited it in his public reading. There have been various surmises as to where Lady Austen obtained her hero. Some have thought he was a real personage, and have collated

Bennett the Elder.

Ben, Perley Poor's Reminiscences. James Gordon Bennett in 1828, when in his thirtieth year, became the Washington correspondent of the New York Enquirer, which was then on the topmost round of the journalistic ladder. It is related of him that during his stay in this position he came across a copy of "Walpole's Letters," and resolved to try the effect of anew letter written in a similar strain. The truth of this is doubtful. It is more probable that the natural talents of the man were now unfettered, and he wrote without tear of xensorsbip, and with all the ease which a sense of freedom inspires. He was naturally witty, sarcastic and sensible. These letters, however originated, were undoubtedly a great hit. They were lively, they abounded in personal allusion and they described freely not only senators but the wives and daughters of senators. This sort of thing was a novelty then. The descriptions of toilettes, the cravats of the president and the bunting saddle of his niece tickled not only the fools but also wiser people, who liked the sensation. These same letters established Mr. Bennett's reputation as a light lance among the hosts of writers and he found a ready sale for the poetry and the love stories which flowed from bis pen during bis leisure hours.
