Sarah Althea Hill's lawyer tried very hard to prove she was the wife of Senator Sharon, but the courts deciding against him he did what he felt was required of him in the emergency, provided her with a husband. The account of the affair does not say that he married her himself as a last resort, but marry her he did. Such another case of conscientious performance of duty is not oh record.

It is an ill wind, indeed that blows no good to those thriving cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis. For a half dozen years now all kinds of winds and blowing constantly have done nothing but fill their sails. Even this blizzard wind-is a blessing to St. Paul. On Tuesday work was begun on the ice palace, but there was a drawback which only nature could re move. The ice could not be cut thick enough to meet the architect's plans. Then came the blizzard and ice is being obtained to answer all purposes ———s« 3|ff§

Beginning with the first of the year twenty electric lights- on the towor of the Chicago board of trade builditfg are to be lighted all night, every night in the year, giving an illuminarion of 40,000 candle power. The association of the building and its use with the admonition to let your light so shine before men is very suggestive that the board of trade want the people to see the great gambling shop. It is the hope that more fool moths, will be'attracted by this light which is said to be the loftiest in the world

The St Louis young man who has sued the gentleman who refused to be his father-in-law is not afraid of disguising the the motive which led to the courting of the daughter. The parent forbade him the house, and finding him playing Borneo at the window of the young vi oman, threw him into the Street Borneo retaliated by hitting the parent with a stone. For this he was very properly fined $100, and then he entered suit for slander, laying his damage at $50,000, on the ground that tha aid man had referred to him in very strong language. There is no doubt that $50,000 was what he was after when trying to marry the girl.

If Indianapolis' weather prophsi,'ijove, had been- a wise prophet he would have, given a w-der latitude in time in his last prediction. About the first of December he said that on the 20th of that month there would be in this country and in Europe a most severe wind storm and unprecedented cold weather. In short, we would have a blizzard to beat the record. The 26th of December was May day. Perhaps the blizzard was delayed by a "stress of weather," like to railroad traina throughout the country. Tou can't expect even such a blizzard as ia raging now to make time when steam fails in Its mission,

The Caurier-Journal's Washington correspondent, who speaks by authority on such matters, says the majority of the ways and means committee will "in a few weeks bring before the house a bill reducing materially, but fairly and judiciously, the present war tariff." This, interpreted in the light of the known purpose of the majority, means that a measure looking to free trade will be turged this winter, to the detriment of the business and industrial interests of the country. There is no question as to the object the only point on which hitherto there had Eeen no authoritative declaration was whether Morrison would try to do anything this session.

There is the usual amount of talk about the way congress is lumbered with thousands of private bills impeding affairs of national moment The talk, too, is by members of congress and senators. It is beyond the bounds of a probability that there is a man living in the United States who is opposed to the proposition to relegate these private bills ta another tribunal. This proposition has bean made annually for a dozen years and Bo

has risen to say a word against it.

The oongreesmen and senators must

some excuse to offer for failing to leg? is)ate on matters of moment and hence they do not do away sath the annoying private claims, keeping them as a sort of scapegoat.

The Courier Journal has discovered that there were 500 marriages in Jeffersonville, Ind., during 1884 and that of this number nearly four-fifths were couples who crossed the river from Louisville for that purpose. So common has this practice become that there are now in the Indiana town several men who earn their living as "ruBners" for the various squires. In fact

one

enterprising

ma'rimonial agent has a sign out on one of the principal streets notifying those lovesick swains and lassies who can read while they run away from Kentucky homes that the man, whose name stands forth in gilt letters is preprepared to take them in charge, secure the license, conduct them to a person who is possessed of legal authority to perform the marriage ceremony and all "free gratis, for nothing." The agent divides the fee with the squire, and thus receives recompense for the service which he effusively offers the Kentucky lovers. The Kentucky laws must be very strict in the matter of marriage else there would not be this rush for Indiana. They are queer people down there, and it is not at all unlikely that marriage is a worse crime than murder.

President Cleveland's letter to Keppler, the proprietor of Puck, in which he says the newspapers of the present tiine are more giving to lying" and reckless management than ever before known, and Canon Farrar's statement that the powerful influences ot the newspapera in this country are constantly tending to bring about a slow degeneracy of the people's life, naturally cause the inquiry, are these charges well founded? It is easy to find the motives of both accusers it that would suffice.

Mr. Cleveland is perhaps More than any other man in public life under obligation to the press of this day. Since his election he has been shown—of course out of respect for the position he occupies—a consideration that he evidently does not appreciate. The press has been silent where, if it were as bad as he depicts, it would be filled with details of his disgrace. It might also be said that the man to whom he wrote his letter conducts a paper that is regularly-an indecent libeller of the church, of men and all our institutions.

Canon Farraf, a learned divine, delivered an eloquent memorial address at the Grant sefvices in Westminster, thereby attracting the most grateful attention of the people of this country tolSmself. In a week from the day he 9poke so eloquent ly of our dead hero the name, identity and ability of Canon Farrar was 'known to a hundred persons whre it had been known to one in this country. Within a month after the press of the United States had filled its columns with Farrar he came over to this country to lecture, and $20,000 is said to. be the amount the "powerful influences" of the press put in his way. We find on an opposite page to the one containing the reflection of the press, in the same article in the North American^ Beview, that "one of the greatest living religious teachers in the world—an English ecclesiastic who has exercised stupendous influence-'for the greater part of a very long life, and even to an advanced age, never had a larger income than £200 a year. He has shown the world the spectacle of a great soul living in small house, and his example has poured silent contempt on the base divinityof gold." What a reflection on the eminent canon, who made twenty times £200 in lea* than three months?

It is one of the best known facts about journalism that the man who finds fault with the newspaper has a personal grievance just as it is always the case that a man who presses the much persuaded editor to publish "this little thing it will be good news for your paper," has an ax to grind in its publication. Because the press of the country recently has been quoting from som9 oi Mr. Cleveland's early declarations on public policy and comparing them with his acts, and because the $20,000 speculation of one "eminent ecclesiastic" has been good-naturedly used for paragraphs, these two distinguished men conclude that the newspapers of the United States are very bad indeed.

But are their accusations true? No one will insist that the press is what it should be, or that there are not instances wherein newspapers are wilfully conducted to cater to a depraved taste. It would be absurd to expect anything else. The rapid growth of the press of this country- exceeds that of any other industry. The newspaper is a business institution and in supplying a public demand it is natural th'at some newspapers should have met the demand of the more depraved of the people. It is. however, an indisputable fact, known to all who have investigated the subject and who are unprejudiced that the improvement in the tone of the press has been even more pronounced than the marvelous growth in its enterprise and business relation with the people. Instead of the present time marking the lowest stand, ard the opposite is true. Instead tf publishing "the immense multiplication of the details of crime,", as Canon Farrar •ays, the fact is that ninety-nine out of a hundred newspapers, particularly of the large cities, have printed instructions for all their reporters and correspondents to avoid this very thing. That is, the nasty in life and repulsive horrors, not the crime of a defaulting public official or bank president The more details of their wickedness, showing the inevitable disgrace of wrong doing, the better we hold it is for the public.

The Fish Tbat Climbs a Tree, Grant Allen in Popular Science Monthly for January.

Of all land-frequenting fish, however, by far the most famous is the so-called climbing perch of India, which not only walks bodily out of the water, but even climbs trees by means of special spines near the head and tail, so arranged as to stick in the bark and enable it to wriggle its way up awkwardly, something after the same fashion as the "looping" of caterpillars. The tree climber is a small, scaly fish, seldom, more than seven inches long hut it has developed a special breathing apparatus to enable it to keep up the stock of oxygen on its terrestrial excursions, which may be regarded as to some extern the exact converse of the means employed by divers to supply themselves with air under water. Just above the gills, which form, of course, its natural hereditary breathing apparatus, the climbiDg perch, has' invented anew and wholly original water chamber, containing within it a frilled, bony organ, which enables it to extract oxygen from stored-up water during the course of its serial peregrinations.

While on

shore it picks up small insects, worms and grubs but it also has vegetarian t*stes of its own, and does not despise fruits and berriei. The Indian jugglers tame the climbing perches and carry them about with them as part of their stock in trade? their ability to live for a long time out of water makes them useful confederates in many small tricks which seem very wonderful to people accustomed to believe that fish die almost at once when taken ont of their native element

Two Remedies for Hog Cholera Hog cholera was carefully studied lasi summer by several pork-raisers in Kansas, where the disease raged part of the time. One of them resorted to "home treatment," as he called it, and he says it succeeded in bringing every member of his infected herd around all right The mode of treatment he thus describes "As soon as the animals were taken sick I tuirhed them out of the pens and began to drive them to warm up their bloodt The first day I drove them thiee miles and the second day two miles. They would vomit freely while being driven. iter the second day they showet' of improvement, which continued, and finally all the. hogs recovered. An Abbeville connty (S.

AT A CRITIC'S TABLE.-,

No Blatter Huw Grand DlnMr Thtrs Ar» Only Throe Ciu Hotel Mali.

A correspondent of the Ocuhaercial Advertiser writes: "A short tik« ago I read in a newspaper that a dinner recently given 'was a grand affair, consisting of sixteen courses including all the luxuries that money ceuld procure 1' Can there be so many courses? I always supposed that there could be but three courses am I right?" To that the editor answers: -Yon are perfectly correct in your supposition. No matter how grand a dinner may be, it has but three courses and seven kinds of dishes.

The first course includes potages, hom-d' oeuvres, releves and entrees. The second course is composed of roasts and entremets, while the third course is the dessert Oysters are served at the beginning of the dinner. The hom-doeuvres are varied according to the fancy of the host or hostess, and are served after every dish. They may consist of anchovies, sardines, olives, pickles, horse-radish, butter, cervelas, any sort of salt or smoked fish, cut in delicate slices, radishes, caviar and boiled mushrooms. They remain on the table until the sweets, whether desert or entremets, are served.

Roman punch is served after the entrees or after the releves of fish. Beleves are fish served whole, or large pieces of beef, mutton or pork, as well as all vol-au vent and bouchees of meat or fish. Entrees embrace every sort of fish not served whole, pates ae foies gras, terrines and pairs of game or poultry and roast meats. At a family dinner the releves above mentioned are often served as entrees. In the second course the roasts are of game, poultry and fish the entremets aie all vegetables, all green salads.:

Pacific Ocean Water In Nevada. Pittsburg Dispatch. There is said to be curious warm spring in Newark valley, White Pine county, Nevada. It pours out of the mountain, and affords abont fifty inches of water. The water is almost tepid when it first reaches the surface. Along with the rushing current of water there is a continuous flow of small sea shells of every size and description. The flow of water is never affected by the seasons, aa other spring? in all parts of Nevada are known to be. Whether the season be wet or dry, there is no change.

There is also another curious feature about it It rises and falls as regularly as the ocean tide. These variations average about four inches, and are as regular as the snn itself. Can it be that there is a deep subterranean connection between this spring and tbe Pacific ocean? ,Jt certainly behaves that way, and those who have watched it for years have come to the conclusion that there is.

Still Wearing His Long Hair. Chicago Herald. In the smoking car was a passenger with hair so long that it hung down over" the back of the seat and greased the upper half section of his coat Some of hi» neighbors eyed him curiously, when the long-haired man exclaimed: "You think it queer that I should wear such long hair, don't you You'd like to know why I don't cut it off, wouldn't you Well, I'll tell you all about it I'm a man who is very particular about his word, about living up to his promises to the very letter, you know. Now, I don't like this long hair, hut' twenty years ago I swore I'd never have shears on my head till we got a democratic administration at Washington, and I've stuck to my word. I've suffered lots of disappointments in my time, and it seems tnat the last one is harder to bear than the one just ahead of it I'm now pinning my faith to 1888."

A Royal Drunk.

On a steamer that sailed recently from New York to Liverpool there was a drunken steerage passenger in the uniform of a* United States soldier. During the entire passage he subsisted on whisky, and on the arrival of the ship at her destination he disappeared. A month later the same steamer was preparing to leave port. Just as the gang plank was to be withdrawn, the military passenger reeled on to the ship, flourishing a prepaid steerage certificate. On the homeward passape he admitted that he had not been sotx-r for .a moment He had no money whatever, but obtained all the liquor he wanted by going into saloons and posing as the military representative of a great and free people.

Cough mixtures containing opiates are dangerous. Bed Star Cough Cure is safe.

The Walporgle Scene at the Lyceum. London Truth. The wild orgy of spirits and witches on the Brocken is arranged with consummate art. Draped gray figures sweep by as though they were part of the blast, while others appear and disappear, circle around and leap from crag to crag, as though they were inhabitants of the world ot spirits. I heard an amusing detail of the rehearsals of this scene, which, te rum vero, &c. "Ladies," said the bal-let-master, "this won't do at all. Bemember, you are not dancing on 'ampstead 'eath, but in 'ell."

Doctor's Bills. ».

Any person whose blood and liver is in good condition is all right even in the midst of epidemics. This can be noticed in the life of every one. If all would avail themselves of the advantages of re storing and maintaining the health of the body there would bp fewer doctor's bill* and much less sorrow. Tiie one thing needful and the one recommended above all others is found in Simmons Liver Begulator{ prepared by J. H. Zeilin & Co. The testimonials are counted by the thousands and its merits are undoubted.
