THOSE who think of settling in Oklahoma should not be in a hurry about starting for that much-advertised region. The lands are not likely to be opened to settlement before July or August, and no advantage can be gained by go ing there sooner than that. In fact, the law is so framed as to deprive of homestead rights those who shall seek to sesure claims by anticipating the action of the Government in the matter of establishing land offices and otherwise providing for orderly and proper settlement.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

European manufacturers of electric lights are being visited for the purpose of finding alight to be used by the pearl fishermen at work under the water

A man in Philadelphia who could not procure employment hung a board on his back inscribed, "Work wanted," and took a stand in a business street. He got a job within a couple of hours.

A coroner's jury in Cheshire, England, returned a verdict of insanity in the case of a schoolmaster who had banged himself. The poor man had married a widow with sixteen children, and, as the coroner justly observed, they wanted no better proof that he had lost his senses.

A commission has been investigating the expenses of the royal household for Queen Victoria.and extensive reductions in the number and salaries of the attaches of the court are expected to be made as a result of their recommendations.

The commander of the French National Military School at St. Cyr has issued an order forbidding card playing. He defends the order by asserting that young men of no fortune had frequently mortgaged their pay for five, six and even ten years after leaving college, to pay gambling debts.

In Ware, N. H., a big six-pound cat saw an owl in a tree and decided to eat it. So it scrambled up the tree, and, after a short, sharp fight, fell to the ground dead. The owl's big claws had been too much for it. The b,-rd was captured, and was found to measure six feet from tip to tip of its extended wings.

The postal telegraph system in England is operated at a continual loss. Last year the receipts were $30,000 less than expenses, and there was, besides, the interest on eighty millions of investment to pay, making a total deficiency of over a million and a halt. Since 1872 the net loss upon the telegraph department of the postoffice has been over $16,500,COO.

Assam swarms so with leeches that lives of men are in danger, any person falling from faintness or getting stuck in a swamp or muahole being sure to be sucked to death by hundreds of them. Animals frequently fall victims, and recently an elephant and his keeper, after having been several days missing, were found in a bog In the jungle, tin man dead and the elephant so covered with leeches that it died the day after it was rescued. Everybody there carries salt as a protection against the bloodsuckers.

France, Austria and Germany have adopted smokeless gunpowder for their armies, and are conducting experiments to get an explosive also as nearly noiseless as possible. A fair degree of success has been reached, and experts have no doubt that by the time the next European war begins the smoke and noise of battle will have been done away with. It is alleged that the French will suffer most by this, as the men of that nation are least able to withstand the terrorizing effect of being mowed down by silent missiles from unseen enemies.

Science says that in an experimental observation of thirty-eight boys of all classes of society, and of average healthwho had been using tobacco for periods rangine from two months to two years' twenty-seven showed severe injury to the constitution, and insufficient growth thirty-two showed the existence of irregularities of the heart's action, disordered stomach,.and a craving for alcohol thirteen had intermittency of the pulse, and one had consumption. After they abandoned the use of tobacco,within six months one-half were fiee from all their former symptoms, and the remainder had recovered by the end of the year.

The soldiers who served under Gen. Gilman Marston, who succeeds William E. Chandler in the Senate by the appointment of the Governor of New Hampshire, fairly worship him for his personal bravery and care over them. His refusal to allow his men to remain on board of an overcrowded transport,even when ordered by a superior officer, for the good reason that he "had brought that "rigiment from New Hampshire to fight, not to be drowned" an action afterward sustained by General Hooker—his literal interpretation of a tyrannical superior's orders to build a dungeon-like guardhouse "without so much as a crack in it" (and the guardhouse was built of solid logs, without a door or crack to enter by,) his coolly walking along the parapet under a terrible fire of shot and shell that he might inspire a wavering brigade by his own reassurance—these and other historical narrations^illustrate his superb character as a soldier.

STRANGE_THINGS

WHICH HAVE HAPPENED TO EARTH, SEA AND SKY.

Disasters Volcanic, Oceanic, Cyclonic, Which Have Come Up Through the Centuries, and the

Lessons to be Learned Therefrom,

Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at Kansas City last Sunday. Subject "Wonders of Disaster and Blessing." Text: Joel ii., 30. He said:

I propose to show you that the timein which we live is wonderful for disaster and wonderful for blessing, for there must be lights and shades in this picture as in all others. Need I argue this day ihat our time is wonderful for disaster? Our world has had a rough# time since by the hand of God it was bowled out info space. It is an epileptic earth convulsion after convulsion frosts pounding it with sledge hammer of iceberg, ana fires melting it with furnaces seven times heated. It is a wonder to me that it has lasted so long. Meteors shooting by on this side and grazing it, and meteors shooting by on the oth^r side and grazing it, none of them slowing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies and argosies and flotillas of worlds sweeping about us. Our earth like a fishing smack off the banks of Newfoundland, while the Etruria and Germanic and the Arizona and the City of New York rush by. Besides that, our world has by sin been damaged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon the furnaces have burst, and the walking beams of the mountain have broken, and the islands have shipped a sea, and the great hulk of the world has been jarred with accidents that ever and anon have threatened immediate demolition. But it seems to us as if our country were especially characterized by disaster, volcanic, cyclonic, oceanic, epidemic. I say volcanic, because an earthquake is only a volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius stop breathing, let the foundations of the earth beware.

Seven thousand earthquakes in two centuries recorded in the catalogue of the British Association. Trajan, the Emperor, goes to ancient Anitocn, and amid the splendors of his reception is met by an earthquake that nearly destroys the Emperor's life. Libson, fair and beautiful at one o'clock on the 1st of November, 1755, in six minutes 6\000 have perished, and Voltaire writes of them: "For that region it was the last judgment, nothing wanting but a trumpet!" Europe and America feeling the throb 1,500 chimnejrs in Boston partly or fully destroyed.

But the disasters of other centuries have had their counterpart in our own. In 1S12, Caraccas was caught in the grip of the earthquake 1822, in Chili, 100.000 square miles of laud bj volcanic force upkeaved to four and seven feet of permanent elevation in 1854 Japan felt the geological agony Naples shaken in 1857 Mexico in 1858 Medosa, the Capital of the Argentine Republic, in 1861 Manilla terrorized in 1S63 the Hawaiian Islands by such force uplifted and let down in 1871 Nevada shaken in 1871 Anitoch in 1872 California in 1872, San Salvador in 1873 while in 1883 what subteranean excitement! lschia, an island of the Mediterranean, a beautiful Italian watering place, vineyard clad, surrounded by all natural charm and historical reminiscence yonder, Capri, the summer resort of the Roman Emperors yonder Naples, the paradise of art—this beautiful island suddenly toppled into the trough of the earth, eight thousand merry-makers perishing, and some of them so far down beneath the reach of human obsequies that it might be said of many a one of them as it was said of Moses: "The Lord buried him." ltalv weeping, all Europe weeping, all Christendom weeping where there were hearts to sympathize and Christians to pray. But while the Nations were measuring that magnitude of disaster, measuring it not with the gold6n rod like that with which the angel measured heaven, but with the black rod of death, Java, of the Indian Archipelago, the most fertile island of all the earth, is caught in the grip of the earthquake, and mountain after mountain goes down, and city after city, until that island, which produces the healthiest beverage of all the world, has produced the ghastliest accident of the century. One hundred thousand people dying, dead, dead.

But look at the disaster cyclonic. At the mouth of the Ganges are three islands—the Hattiah, the Sundeep and the Dakin Shabazpore. In the midnight of October, 1877, on all those islands the cry was: "The waters! the waters!" A cyclone arose and rolled the sea over those three islands, and of a population of 340,000, 215,000 were drowned. Oaly those saved who had climbed to the top of the highest trees. Did you ever see a clyclone? No? Then I pray God you may never see one. I saw one on the ocean, and it swept us eight hundred miles back- from our course, and for thirty-six hours during the cyclone and after it we expected every moment to go to the bottom. They told us before we retired at nine o'clock that the barometer had fallen, but at eleven at night we were awakened with the shock of the waves. All the lights out! Crash! went all the life-boats. Waters rushing through the skylights down into the cabin and down on the furnaces until they hissed and smoked in the deluge. Seven hundred people praying, blaspheming, shrieking. Our great ship poised a moment on the top of a mountaip of phosphorescent fire, and then plunged down, down, down, until it seemed as if she never would again be righted. Ah! you never want to see a cyclone at sea. But I was in Minnesota, where there was one of those cyclones on land that swept the city of Rochester from its foundations, an took dwelling-houses, barns, men, women, children, horses, cattle, and tossed them into indiscriminate ruin, and lifted a rail train and dashed it down, a mightier hand than thatfot the engineer on the air-brake. Cyclone in Kansas, cyclone in Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illinois, cyclone in Iowa. Satan, prince of the power of the air, never made such cyclone disturbances as he has in our day. And am I not right in saying that one of the characteristics of the time in which we live is disaster cyclonic?

But look at the disasters oceanic. Shall I call the roll of the dead shipping? Ye monsters of the deep, answer when I call your names. Ville de Havre, the Schiller, Oity of Boston, the Melville, the President, the Cimbria. *t wh*

should I go on railing the roll when none of them answer, and the roll is as long as the white scroll of the Atlantic surf at Cape Hatteras breakers? If the oceanic cables could report all the scattered life and all the bleached bones that they rub against in the dephts of the ocean what a message of pathos and tragedy for both beaches! In one storm eighty fishermen perished otf the coast of Newfoundland, and whole fleets of them off the coast of England. God help the poor fellows at sea, and give high seats in heaven to the Grace Darlings and the Ida Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering around Goodwin's Sands and the Skerries. The sea, owning three-fourths of the earth, proposes to capture the otiier fourth, and is bombarding the land all around the earth. The moving of our hotels at Brighton Beach backward one hundred yards from where they once stood, a type of what is going on all around the world and on every coast. The dead sea rolls to-day where ancient cities stood. Pillars of temples that stood on hills geologists now find three-quarters under the water or altogether submerged. The sea having wrecked so many merchantmen and flotillas wants to wreck the continents, and hence disasters oceanic.

Look at the disasters epidemic. I speak not of the plague in the fourth century that ravaged Europe, and in Moscow and the Neapolitan dominions and Marseilles which wrought such terror in the eighteenth century but I look at the yellow fevers and the choleras and the diptherias and the scarlet fevers and the typhoids of our own time. Hear the wailing of Memphis and Shreveport and New Orleans and Jacksonville, of the last few decades. From Hurdwar, India, where every twelfth year three million devotees congregate, the caravans brought the cholera, and that one disease slew eighteen thousand in eighteen days in Bossorah. Twelve thousand in one summer slain by it in India, and twenty-five thousand in Egypt. Disasters epidemic. Some of the finest monuments in Greenwood and Laural Hill and Mount Auburn are to doctors who lost their Jives in battling with Southern epidemic.

But now I turn the leaf in my subject, and I plant the white lilies and the palm trees amid the night-shade and the myrtle. This age is no more characterized by wonders of disaster than by wonders of blessing. Blessing of longevity the average of human life rapidlv increasing. Forty years now worth four hundred years once. Now I can travel from Manitoba to New York in three days and three nights. In other times it would have taken three months. In other words, three days and three nights now are worth three months of other days. The average of human life practically greater now than when Noah lived his 950 years. Blessings of intelligence: The Salmon P. Chases and the Abraham Lincolns and the Henry Wilsons of the coming time will not be required to learn to read by pine-knot lights or seated on shoemaker's bench, nor will the Fergusons have to study astronomy while watching the cattle. Knowledge rolls its tides along every poor man's door, and his children may go down and bathe in them. If the philosophers of the last century were called up to recite in a class with our boys at the Polytechnic, or our girls at the Packer, those old philosophers would be sent down to the foot of the class because they failed ^answer the questions! Free irbMrie:? in all the important towns and cities of the land! Historical alcoves and poetical shelves and magazine tables for all that desire to walk through them or sit down at them! Blessings of quick information: Newspapers failing all around us thick as leaves in a September equinoctial! News three days old rancid and stale. We see the whole world twice a day through the newspaper at breakfast table and the newspaper at the tea table, with an extra here and there between.

Blessings of gospel proclamation: Do you not know that nearly all the missionary societies have been born in this country? and nearly all the Bible societies, and nearly all the great philanthropic movements? A secretary of one of the denominations said to me the other day in Dakota: "You were wrong when you said our denomination averaged a new church every day of the year they established nine in one day, so you are far within the truth." A clergyman of our denomination said: "I have just been out establishing five mission stations." I tell you Christianity is on the march, while infidelity is dwindling into imbecility. While infidelity is thus dwindling and dropping down into imbecility and indecency, the wheel of Christianity is making about a thousand revolutions in a minute. All the copies of Snakspere and Tennyson and Disrali and of any of the most popular writers of the day, less in number than the copies of the Bible going out from our printing presses. A few years ago, in six weeks, more than two million copies of the New Testiment purchased, not given away, hut purchased because the world will have it.

More Christian men in high official position to-day in Great Britain and the United States than ever before. Stop that falsehood going through the newspapers —I have seen it in twenty—that the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States are infidels, except one. By personal acquaintance I know three of* them to be old-fashioned evangelical Christians, sitting at the holy sacrament of our Lord JesusChrist, and I suppose that the majority of them are staunch believers in our Christian religion. And then hear the dying words of Judge Black, a man who had been AttorneyGeneral of the United States, and wno had been Secretary of the United States no stronger lawyer of the century than Judge Black—dying, his aged wife kneeling by hiB side, and he uttering that sublime and tender prayers: "0 Lord God, from whom I derived my existence and in whom I have always"trusted, take my spirit to thyself, and let thy richest blessing come down upon my Mary." The most popular book to-day is the Bible, and mightiest institution is the church, and the greatest name among the nations, and more honored

+hanany

other, is the

name of Jesus. Where is there any other being that will rally such enthusiasm? Mothers sewing their lingers Jfl' to educate their boys for the Gosoel ministry. For nine years no luxury of the table until the course tnrouaii grammar school and college and theological seminary be completed. Poor widow putting her mite into the Lord's treasury, the fate of Emperor or President impressed upon the coin not so conspicuous as the blood with which she earned h. Millions of too*1 men and women, but more women

and men, lo whom Christ is very thing. Christ first and Christ last, and Christ forever.

Why, this age is not so characterized by inventior and scientific exploration as it is by Gospel proclamation. You can get no idea of it unless you can ring all the church bells in one chime, and sound all the organs in one diapason, and gather all the congregations of Christendom in one Gloria in Excelsis. Mighty camp-meetings. Mighty Ocean Groves. Mighty Chautauquas. Mighty conventions of Christian workers, general assemblies of the Presbyterian Church. Mighty conferences of the Methodist Church. Mighty associations ot the Baptist Church. Mighty conventions of the Episcopal Church. I think before long the best investments will not be in railroad stock or Western Union, but in trumpets and cymbals and festal decorations, for we are on the eve of victories wide and world-upliftingz There may be many years of hard woi yet before the consummation, butthq signs are to me so encouraeing that would not be unbelieving if 1 saw the wing of the apocalyptic angel spread for its last triumphal fight in this day's sunset or if to-morrow morning the ocean cables should thrill us with the news that Christ the Lord had alighted on Mount Olivet or Mount Calvary to proclaim universal dominion.

Oh, you dead churches, wake up! Throw back the shutters of stiff ecclesiasticism and let the light the ot spring morning come in. Morning for the land. Morning for the sea. Morning of emancipation. Morning of light and love and peace. Morning of a day in which there shall be no chains to break, no sorrows to assuage, no despotism to shatter, no woes to compassionate. Oh, Christ, descend! Scarred temple, take the crown! Bruised hand, take the scepter! Wounded foot, step the throne! "Thine is the kingdom."

These things I say because I want you to be alert. I want you to be watching all these wonders unrolling from the heavens and the earth. God has classified them, whether calamitous or pleasing, The Divine purposes are harnessed in traces that can not break, and in girths that can not slip, and in buckles that can not loosen, and are driven by reins they must answer. I preach no fatalism.

Those of us who are in midlife maywell thank God that we have seen so many wondrous things but there are people here to-day who will see the twentieth century. Things obscure to us will be plain to you yet. The twentieth century will be as far ahead of the nineteenth as the nineteenth is ahead of the eighteenth, and as you caricature the habits and customs and ignorance of the past, others will caricature this age. Some of you may live to see the shimmering veil between the material and spiritual world lifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover up our ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Electricity, the fiery courser of the sky, that Benjamin Franklin lassoed and Morse and Bell and Edison have tried to control, will become completely manageable, and locomotion will be swiftened, and a world of practical knowledge thrown in upon the race. Whether we depart in this century, or whether we see the open gates of a more wonderful century, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we stand, but the higher the stand-point the larger the prospect. We will see them from heaven if we do not see them from earth, I was at Fire Island, Long Island,and I went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours before they come into port. There is an opening in the wall, and the operator puts hiu telescope through that opening and sees vessels far out at sea. While I was *#alkiEg with him he went up and looked out. He said: "We are expecting the Arizona to-night." I said: "Is it possible that you know all those vessels? Do you know them as you know a man's iace?" He said: "Yes, I never made a mistake before I seethe hulks 1 often know them by the masts I know them all I have watched them so long." Oh, what a grand thing it is to have ships telegraphed and heralded long before they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and welcome their long absent loved ones. So to-day we take our stand in the watch tower and we look off and through the glaas of inspiration or Providence, we look off and see a whole fleet of ships coming in. That is the ship of peace, flag with one star of Bethlehem floating above the top gallants. That is the ship of the church, mark of salt wave high up on the smoke stack, showing she has had rough weather, but the Captain of salvation commands her, and all is well with her. The ship of heaven, mightiest craft ever launched, millions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and martyrs in the cabin, conquerors at the foot of the mast, whiie from the rigging hands are waving this way as i.hey know us, and we wave back again for they are our? they went out from our own households. Ours! Hail! Hail! Put off the black and put on the bite. Stop tolling the funeral bell and ring the wedding anthem. Shut up the hearse and take the chariot. Now, the ship comes around the great headland. Soon she will strike the wharf and we will go aboard her. Tears for ships going out. Laughter for ships coming in. Now she touches the wharf. Throw on the planks. Block not up that gangway with embracing long-lost friends, for you will have an eternity of reunion. Stand back and give way until other millions come on. Farewell to sin. Farewell to struggle. Farewell to sickness. Farewell to death. All aboard for heaven!

He Wants aNew Jaw.

New York Sun. Captain John N. Sloan, of Pontatoe, Miss., had his left jaw torn away by a shell at the battle of Chickamauga, a quaiter of a century ago. Ho entered Bellevue Hospital Friday .and next week Surgeon Bryant well attempt to furnish the sixty-year-old veteran with a new jaw. The" Captain now takes all his food from a tin cup always fastened to thej lapel of his coat. He is six feet tall, in good health and wears a mask over the lost jaw. The surgeon will cut away the ends of the fracture and let nature restore a new jaw. Some years ago a similar operation was performed by the late Dr. Jas. R. Wood.

OBITUARY.

1

-JOHN BRIGHT.

The death of John Bright occurred in London on the morning of March 27th, aiter an illness extending nearly two years. He was born in Lancashire, November 16, 1811, of Quaker parents. In 1802 his father set up a hand loom in the neighborhood of Rochdale, thus laying the foundation of the cotton spinning industry which the sons developed. John's earnestness, common-sense estimate of every question and his marked faculty for impressing the common people with homely arguments, have been widely attributed to his Quaker training and simplicity of early manners. He was in part educated at Ackworth, a well known Friends' school, and latter went to school at York and Newton. In February, 1827, when a little more than fifteen years old, he entered his father's business, but was already so much interested in public affairs that, in 1830, yhe began to speak at temperance meetings near Kochdale. He took a warm interest in the movement in 1835 for national education and was brought in contact with Richard Cobden, of whom he was a faithful ally on the subject of free trade. In 1841, Bright entered the struggle against the corn laws, which first brought him prominently before the public. He attacked the problem on moral rather than on political grounds. In 1843 he was nominated for Parliament as representative of Durham, and though at first defeated he was elected at a second contest after his1 opponent had been unseated for bribery. He made his first speech in

Parliament in support of a motion con cerning the customs revenues, and was largely instrumental in securing the abolition of Ihe corn laws. He opposed the measure fixing a days work at 10 hours, though his own workman forwarded a petition favoring it. The other important subjects upon which he worked at that time were various proposals for the relief of Ireland and the search for a supply of cotton outside of America. Mr. Bright shared with Cobden the abhorrence of war which led to the peace congress of that time. When England drifted into war with Russia, Bright opposed the government and his own constituents, and in 1855 he made some memorablo speeches against the continuance of the war. In 1856 he retired from Parliament, but was returned by Birmingham in August 1857. He was conspicuous in his support of the Union during the Rebellion, in 1861-'65, though his own interests (the cotton) suffered largely thereby. His labors in favor of increased franchise were constant and earnest. He retired from Parliament in 1870. In 1873 he was appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, which position he held until 1874. In 18S0 he was again honored with this position, but resigned in 18S2, when the war was begun with Egrpt. He was twice married, his first wife living but two years. Four sons and three daughters blessed his second marriage. He was a champion of Irish rights in Parliament when it required a man of nerve to be outspoken on the subject. He was not identified, however, with the Irish National idea, and of late years became completely alienated from Irish interests and was one of Gladstone's most powerful opponents on the h«me rule scheme. Bfe was an orator of extraordinary power, and in the days of his vigor rendered greater service to the Liberal cause than any other man in England.

BASE BALL.

The Chicagosand "All America" base ball clubs, which have been on a tour around the world, embarked at Queenstown, Ireland, on the 28th for America. The trip has been a remarkable one.

rIhe

party consisted of the Chicago team, including Mr. Spalding and the wives of several of the players, John M. Ward and Crane, of the New Yorks, Brown of Boston, Healey of Indianapolis, Carroll of Pittsburg, Fogerty arid Wood of Philadelphia, and others. They sailed from San Francisco and made their first stop at the Sandwich Islands, where they played before King Kaiakua and a large congregation of natives, and in return were banqueted by the King. They played several games Australia to very large crowds and here they were also banqueted by the dignitaries of the towns and colonies. They halted long enough at Colombo, Ceylon, to play a game before a motley crowd of Arabs. Thev next visited Cario and Alexandria, Egypt, and played a game in thfi shadow of the great pyramids and the Sphynx. They then visited ltalv and played several games, ing thence to Madrid, Monte Cario and Paris. They crossed the channel and played a number of games in England and Scotland and closed the tour with two games in Ireland. The Prince of Wales was an interested spectator of the first game in London and afterward gave the players a reception. In everv land they visited the games were attended by the potentates and the aristocacy, as well as common people, who for the first time witnessed with great interest, aud frequently with great enthusiasm, an exhibition of the great American sport. The games as a rule were well played, the majority of which were won by the All Americas. On their arrival in Nejr York the clubs will be given a reception by admirers of the sport and the personal friends of the players. They will then make a tour of the States playing in all the leading baseball cities.

Manager Bancroft, of the Indianapolis club, is confident the club will give the best of them a nard "tussel" this season. He is giving the team five hours practice a dav and hopes to bring the club up to a high degree of efficiency. The exhibition games will begin next week and a large ettendance is already assured.

Captain Glasscock claims that if Whitney is secured Indianapolis will be as strong in the pitching department as any club in tho League, and Paul Bines adds that the Hoosier team is a stronger club than the one that won the championship for Providence iu 1884. Paul was a member of the famous Grays, aud ought to know as to the respectative merits of the two teams.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Municipal elections were held in various cities, Monday and Tuesday. At Cincinnati there was a division among the Republicans, who succeeded in electing the Mayor, one Judge, city Solicitor, and Treasurer. The Democrats elected the Comptroller, Police Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Infirmary Directory. A citizens' ticket polled

7,300 votes. The entire Republican ticket was elected at Cleveland. At Columbus and Zanesville the Democrats carried the day. Other points reported

1

no change except where local issues aifected the contests. At Evansville the Democrats defeated the Republicans except for Mayor and Treasurer. The council is largely Democratic. The anti-Prohibitionists carried the day at Keokuk, Iowa. The State election in Michigan for Judge resulted in a Republican victory bv a majority exceeding 15,000. 1

The entire Democratic ticket wasg elected at Chicago, DeWitt C. Cregier defeating John Roche, the presents incumbent, for Mayor. Tne result is| conceded to be a sweeping victory forf the laboring element, thu advocates ol| elevated roads, and those who favor a| divorce betwe«»n municipal and national! politics. The Democratic candidate fori Mayor of St. Louis was elected by 1,620s majority over the Republican candidate The Republican ticket was elected at I Kansas City, and the Democratic at Springfield, 111.

A Boy's Long Trip.

Lynn (Mass.) Speeiul. Frank Fullerton, ashool boy who dis-i: appeared mysteriously on June 11, 1387, and who has since been mourned as dead by his family, returned home last even-. ing, after having made a circuit of the: world. His recital of his travels is most: interesting. He walked to Boston over^ two years a ago, over the railroad track, and on arriving sought the wharves. He shipped from Boston to Philadelphia, thence to Baltimore, and then crossed the ocean to Havre, from there visiting Rouen and Paris, sailing up the Mediterranean, and making a round of continental and British seaports. The boy's explanation was that he was possessed of an uncontrollable desire to see the world. Young Fullerton's taste for the sea is entirely cured.
