A religion is spreading over the wovii], Xot through a new sect, but in ail sects. It is a
gentle
flood that is
slowly but surely breaking down the reel's nf cruel dngmas. It is the religion that teaches simple, natural goodness and nothing more. It teaches that somewhere there is perfection and omnipotence. It teaches the worship of this great soul of the universe. It teaches the mastery of self in a patient pursuit of excellence. It. teaches a love of mankind that comprehends all other virtues. The only essentials are the worship of God. the subjugation of self and the service of man.—Pioneer Press.
\Yi-: have had two years of Grover Cleveland. We are to have two more before all is done and the record of one man's incompetency and perilous conceit shall have been closed. What will those two years bring forth? To what new dangers shall we be exposed, to what fresh humiliations subjected? Is there any limit to the calamity within reach of a dull, self-centred autocrat surrounded by servile sychophants If so, let us pray heaven that it may have been reached. If not, let us pray for strength and courage and wise patience, for surely we shall need them all.—N. \. Tribune.
't'.kvelaxo has been compelled to show his hand i.i the latest bond deal. The Democrat leaders are now trying to force a bill through Congress for enough bonds to carry out Cleveland's deal with the foreign money lenders. By his contract he gave these Loudon Jews a mortgage on all bonds issued up until next October.
The friends of Cleveland claim that is a good idea as it assures the Government that it can dispose of future bond issues on equally favorable terms to itself. Oh yes, the terms obtained were remarkably favorable, the bonds are being taken from the foreign capitalists at 1.12J.-£ or a net profit to the Jews of a clear 8 per cent. Why not let the Government make that profit if bonds are inevitable Shall these bond buyers be given an 8 per cent, profit on all bonds issued up to October 1st, next. That is Cleveland's policy.
IT looks like the Legislature would pass the Nicholas temperance bill. Petitions are going up from all over the State asking that the bill become a law. It is asked for by the leading temperance people of the State, people who are sincerely in earnest in their desire te lesson and modify the evils of intemperance. It will also be satisfactory to the better class of saloon men, those who, while they engage in selling liquor do not desires to break the law and do not want to see others break the law. They want a law which will catch the drag store liquor seller. 'The wishes of a vast majority of the people of the State should be heeded rather than the voice of a few Republican leaders about Indianapolis or some of the larger cities, who abrogate to themselves the right to speak for the Republicans of Indiana. Let the voice of the people rule ^and the Nicholson bill be passed without delay.

TRICKS WITH CARDS.
A REMARKABLE EXHIBITION BY A NONPROFESSIONAL.
A Wealthy Cincinnati Business Man En
tertained tlie Hamilton YVliist Club of
Philadelphia With Tricks Which Have
Mystified Kellar and Herrmann.
What was regarded by experts as the most lmirvulous exhibition of card magic ever soon at Philadelphia was given at tho Hamilton Whist club by Thomas B. Arnold of Cincinnati. A formal reception was given by the Hamilton club to Mr. Arnold, who, in return for the hospitality tendered him, entertained his hosts with a series of most remarkable card tricks. .Mr. Arnold is a well known Cincinnati business man, being a mcmbi of tho wholesale shoo firm of Alter, Julian & Co.
He is not a professional magician, but his tricks havo mystified such men trained in magic as Ivellar and Ilerr- I maim. Ho lias refused fabulous sums which have been offered him to go before tho public as a professional, prefcrring a quiet, domestic life to any notoriety ho might gain as a magician.
Air. Arnold opened tho eves of his witnesses by what ho calls a very simpie trick. Two new packs of cards belonging to tho club were produced. Ho had never seen them before. Shuffling I one deck, he held it out to ono of the gentlemen present, saying: "Select a card from this pack and then return it, keeping the card in your mind. I will turn my back to you as you make your selection. One of tho other gentlemen will take the second pack and throw it on tho floor. Tho only card that will fall face upward will be the card selected by you. I will not touch either one of the decks.
The card was selected, and the gentleman threw the second pack on tho floor, the nine of diamonds being tho only card that fell face upward. "That, exclaimed Mr. Arnold, "is tho card you selected."
A cheer greeted the announcement that thai: was correct. "Now, hero is a good one," said tho entertainer. Pointing to Charles Yarnall, he continued: "Will you kindly select a card in your mind? Do not mention its name.
When tho selection was made, he picked up a pack, shuffled it carelessly, and walking over to tho wall threw tho cards at a picture. They fell in a shower to the floor. "Turn the back of the picture outward," said Mr. Arnold. When this was done, a card was seen sticking in a crack in the back of the frame. It was the jack of spades. "That, sir, is tho card you had in mind."
Mr. Yarnall acknowledged that it was, and the crowd was convulsed. Again, a member of the company was asked to take a card in his mind. Four others were asked to take cards at random from tho pack and remember tho numerical value of tho card. Tho spectator who drew tho first card was told towrito tho number on a sheet of paper. The second man wrote the number of his card in a separate corner. Tho third linn placed his number under tho second one and added the two together, affixing tho result to the first number. The fourth man affixed tho number of his card to tho other two numbers. The result was 374. "Now," said Mr. Arnold, "will two gentlemen accompany me to the library, each of them holding one of my hands. A third can come along to see fair play.
They returned bringing a book. "Turn to page iJ74, ordered tho entertainer. The book was opened at tho page indicated, and a card was found. It was tho deuce of spades. "That is your card, said Mr. Arnold to tho gentleman ho had asked to make a selection.
Tho statement was correct. Tho most remarkable trick of all was the last. Captain Walton, president of the American Whist Players' league, was asked to draw a card from tho pack, replacing it and keeping tho card in his mind. Mr. Arnold took an egg, selecting one at random from a half dozen, and broke it into a tumbler. He showed first that neither the shell nor the inner skin of the egg had been broken. No card was concealed up his sleeve or anywhere about his person. When the egg was broken, a card was seen in the tumbler, crumpled up and covered with the yolk of the egg.
Drawing it out, Mr. Arnold asked, "What card did you draw, Captain Walton?" "The queen of clubs. "There it is. The pack was searched and that particular card found missing.
Although an expert on cards, Mr. Ar nold never played a game for a stake in his life. "I could make a fortune as a gambler," said he, "for 1 can deal a man any hand 1 choose, but I wouldn't dare to play out in our western country, for I would be shot sure as fate. I don't know what it is that enables ine to do these tricks. I studied them all out myself, but I can't explain how or why I do theni. "—Philadelphia Timos.
Lincoln on Equality.
In a speech at Chicago in 1858 Lincoln said: "My friend has said that I am a poor hand to quote Scripture. I will try it again, however. It is said in one of the admonitions of our Lord, 'As your Father in heaven is perfect, bo ye also perfect.' Tho Saviour, I suppose, did not expect any human creature could be perfect as the Father in heaven, but he said, 'As your Father in heaven is perfect, be yo also perfect.' He set that up as a standard, and he who did most in reaching that standard attained the highest degree of moral perfection. So I say in relation to the principle that all men are created equal let it be as nearly reached as we can. If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will imnose slavery upon any other creatura "—Stoddard's Table Talk.
FIREMEN MEET DEATH
Three Killed at Lynn, Massachu setts.
TEN OTHERS BADLY INJURED.
Two Are Missing and Are Probably in the
Ruins of the Burned IJttildiug W.
Henry ITutchinson, Hardware, and Ad
joining: JL'roperty IJestroyed, Entailing a
Total Loss of & 1!0,OOO.
Ly s, Feb. 14.—Fire broke out in tho basement of a 3-story wooden building occupied by W. Henry Hutchinson, hardware, and spread to adjoining property, entailing a total loss of Three men were killed, 10-injured and two are missing, supposed to be burned in the ruins. The dead are:
Captain Henry Skinner, chemical No. 1, 2n years old, married. i|ll" Thomas Murray, hose No. u, 22 years old. married.
John Conlin, hoseman, aged u'S years, married. The missing are: (ieorgo Buttock, fireman, and Kimball, a clerk, supposed to have been in the building when the fire broke out.
The injured are: (ieorgo Middieton of steamer William Hun!" of hose .", William Minion, of chemical 1, Charles Corson, engineer of steamer 4 George Center, Nicholas Weber oi hose 8, Leo Miller of hose 4, A. C. Moody of hose '•!, and Lorenzo Alley, driver of steamer 2.
An inspector was also injured by failing in the debris, but not seriously. The blaze started near tin paint-room in the Hutchinson building,and promised to do but slight damage for tho first liaif hour, during which the efforts of the firemen confined it mostly to the basement and lir.-u floor of tho building.
As the conflagration was in the very heart of the most dangerous district in Lynn, a second and third alarm was rung in as a precaut ion. When the lire had been burning half an hour, without warning, a terrific explosion occurred, which seemed to split the building from bottom to top. The upper stories separated, and the long ladder's on which several firemen stood, slipped and fell into tho cavity, and the men were hurled to the pavement beneath. Then the building fell a mass of ruins, and with fresh energy the flames began to spread.
Tho next building was occupied by Peter Donnelly, a wholesale and retail shoe dealer. This was wholly destroyed and the fury of the flames was unchecked. Assistance was then summoned from Salem and Marblehead.
The flames swept on to the three and a half story wooden building adjoining, occupied by T. J. Ready, dealers in new and second hand furniture, and Parsons & Licke, barbers. This building was also totally destroyed. Meanwhile assistance arrived. Tons of water were poured upon the flames and were finally cheeked after having raged for three hours.
The losses are as follows: W. Henry Hutchinson, hardware, $40,000 on stock, $10,000 on building insured for $.'50,000.
Peter Donnelly, boots and shoes, loss $lf).000 on stock insured for $10,000. The building was owned by the Clark heirs loss, $",000 insured for .$4,000.

Oglcsby 111.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., Feb. 14.—Much alarm was created here yesterday evening by a report that ex-Governor Richard J. Oglesby was dying at his home in Elkhart, Ills. Later advices, however, state that while "Uncle Dick," as he is familiarly known throughout the west, has been seriously ill, he is expected to be about as usual in a few days. The ex-governor contracted a cold last week, which rapidly developed into inflammation of the lungs, and, owing to his advanced age—71 years—grave fears were entertained. His robust constitution has pulled him through, however, and his physician thinks he is entirely out of danger.

A ROLAND FOR HIS OLIVER.
A girl has heaps of trouble with her complexion and her front hair, but she doesn't havo to have a razor go traveling over her face every day.
A girl carries her life in her hands when she tries to get within a rod of a bargain counter, but she can walk along the street in peace. Half a dozen bootblacks don't yell, "Shine, sir shiijo'f" at her.
A girl has to fold her hands and wait for a man to ask her to go to tho theater with him, but when she does go she has the comfort, of making the man spend a lot of money. That consoles her to a certain extent.
A girl has to entertain stupid callers, whether she wants to or not, because society demands it. A man has to dance with girls who can't even walk gracefully because if ho did not bis hostess would consider him rude.
A girl may go nearly distracted when she feels that the band of her dross skirt has come unfastened, but think of tho misery of tho man when the buttonhole in the neckband of his shirt rips open and lets his collar and necktie slide up to liia ears. I! VV'
A girl is very likely to spend weeks in planning the construction of a new hat, but when sho does get it people don't sit on it, as they always do on ltion's headgear. Perhaps that because a girl doesn't leave hor hat lying around on sofas and chairs.—Exchange.
GEMS FROM JEFFERSON.
Science is more Important in a republican government than in any other. We often repent of what we havo said, but never of that which we havo not said.
Education is tho only sure foundation that can be devised for the preservation of freedom and happiness.
Never suppose that in any possible situation or under any circumstances it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing.
I profess so much of tho Roman principleas to deem it honorable for tho genoral of yesterday to act as a corporal today if his services can bo useful to his country.
Were it loft to me to decide whether we should havo a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
Tho functionaries of public power rarely strengthen in their dispositions to abridgo it, and an organized call for timely amendment is not likely to prevail against an organized opposition to it. 1 believe thiB the strongest government on earth, tho only one where every man at the call of tho Jaws would fiy to the standard of tho law and meet invasions of the public order as hid own personal concern. —Thomas Jefferson.
SOUTH DAKOTA'S LOSS.
It is understood that the South Dakota legislature will pass a law requiring tho stato treasurer to wear a ball and chain.—• Chicago Mail.
Who can blame Treasurer Taylor for leaving South Dakota when the thermometer crawls down to 20 degrees below zero? —Toledo Blade.
The wound which Mr. Taylor han given South Dakota finances is not as deep as a well or as wide as a church door, but it will serve.—Sioux Falls Argus-Leador.
No soonor was New York's $354,000 Seely locked behind tho bars than South Dakota's $370,000 Taylor makes a break that startles the natives and detectives nliko. The wild and woolly west is always in the lead.—Kansas City Times.
