The great mass of Americans, loyal, earnest, intelligent, law-abiding, are men who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. They are farmers, handicraftsmen, or unskilled laborers. This country has been extremely liberal in the matter of pensions. As a generous friend of the soldier and of his widow and his orphan, the American republic is indisputably first among the nations of the world. Names are merely nominal. Brussels sprouts are not eaten in Brussels. Brussels carpets are made in Glasgow, and Axminsters in Wilton. Copenhagen watches are made in Switzerland, and Paris hats in Danbury. The statement that there is nothing new under the sun has been so often repeated that the expression itself is a chestnut. The stories which amuse the children and maturer generation of to-day were not composed nor constructed yesterday. They are only •edited. ndeu the new order of things in the icultural department of the country ssful efforts are being made to fully develop Western resources j n were ever made before. The de■tment accepts no man’s conclusions, makes its own experiments and aches its own conclusions. The increase of population in Chicago is enormous. The character of that population is vastly diversified, for all Europe and part of Asia contribute to the mass. Thousands of its people are non-English speaking and tens of thousands of them have vague ideas of the rights of citizenship. Moses Harris, of Charette Post, G. . K., of Warrensburg, N. Y., is supied to he the oldest Grand Army n in the state, Harris is eightyyears old. He has seen twenty years of army life, and ibught in four warst-Black Hawk, Seminoie^-Mexi-can and the war of the rebellion. The Jews are said to be rapidly increasing in numbers, wealth and influence in New York. Four new synagogues were recently opened within the space of ten days, and the city now has forty-seven of these places of worship, which is a larger number than can he found in any other city in the world. An American spent two years in Belgium and never saw an umbrella or a water-proof of any sort. When it rains in that country the people either remain under cover until tbe storm is over or go out to get soaked. As a rule a rainy day has no effect on the people, though they do shelter their horses. ■ Boston has become civilized. It is too literary: The Hubbites yearn for the flesh-pots of Egypt They are tired of beans and brown bread. They are weary of being prim. Nothing! demonstrates this so effectually as the ' founding of an organization known as ' “The Wharf Rats.” The membership ; is made up of the greatest swe Us in i town. The old story which Sidney Smith : tells of an Irishman looking over his shoulder while he was composing a ; letter, of his writing “I would say more i but an’ impudent fellow stands here j reading every word,” and of the Irishman exclaiming, “Ye lie, I haven’t A ad a word,” is said to be several h mdred years older than the New Testament Within the memory of the older reneration twelve hours was a day’s labor. There was a time when fourteen hours was insisted upon. The proposition to drop from twelve to ten '< was urged by the employed and relisted by employers as a dangerous proceeding, productive of great loss, ind certain to revolutionize the iniustries and all society. An eminent scientist has evolved the theory that water as an element to extinguish fires in large and high buildings is a failure. He claims that when combustion evolves a certain intense legree of heat the water thrown upon the flames emits a powerful volume of i hydrogen which burns with frightful | lury. This scientist sets up the theory i that these fires must be treated in a difterent manner, and expresses the be- j Sef that gas will j be the successful eapon with which to fight fire at some c day ' ' Jh I

Shaw, a bussness partner, the balance to Mrs. Mary Miller, who was Mr. Anderson's housekeeper. The bequests occasion great surprise, as Mr. Anderson had a number of near relatives.

He also prophesied that in 1870-’71 there would be war In Europe. Still that in 1887-’93 .there would be the greatest destruction of life and property ever known, while in 1613 or 3914 would come the final dissolution of all things. These propecles are now In the hands of William Miner, aged teighty-two, a cousin of David G. Phillips, of Madison. All but the last one has been fulfilled. | The Virginia nreme Court of Appeals ion the 16th, d<; the celebrated Bettie 'Lewi* Thom? favor of the plain-

DEATH OF EMMONS BLAINE. Emmons Blaine died at tho home of Mrs. Cyrus McCormick (his wife’s mother) at Chicago, on tho 18th. He returned from Minneapolis a few days previous physically prostrated, due to some extent to hla earnest work there in the interest of his father’s candidacy, and the failure to secure the nomination to the senior Blaine, it is believed, contributed to his fatal Illness. Though sick and confined to his bed, it was not believed that his condition was precarious until a few moments before he expired. His wife and child were with him, but so suddenly did death do its work that there was not time even to summon other members of the household. Mr. James G. Blaine was at Bar Harbor, out of reach of telegraphic communication, and did not know of his sou’s serious illness. His death was caused by blood poisoning, and brought about by disease of the bowels. Emmons Blaine was tho second son of James G.

The educational committee has enlisted the assistance ol Indiana’s 15,000 teachers as well as the aid of her fifteen colleges and universities, A special from Brownsburg to the Indianapolis Nows on the 15th says: Frank Adams, a "ai mer and cattle buyer, was murdered at 6 o’clock this morning by a neighbor, Benjamin Wing, a farmer and dairyman. For eeveral days Mr. Adams has shown signs of being demented, which manifested Itself, among other ways, In laying down a partition fence and turning his cattle upon Wing’s premises.

Mr. Johnson, Secietary of the StateBoard of Charities, returned recently from a trip to the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, the School for Feeble-minded at Fort Wayne, the Prison North and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Homo at Knlghtstown. The appointment of John P. ThUtlewalte as steward of the Eastern Hospital was confirmed. When first appointed, several weeks since, one member of the board opposed Thlstlewaite. having a friend of his own that he had been booming for the place. The successful appointee is a man of sterling honesty and unusually competent. Though a strong Democrat, his personal popularity led to his election as Mayor of Richmond by the aid of Republican votes. Mr. Johnson was gratified, he says, to find that Warden French had adopted two now features In prison government. One was the “free hour,’’ which means that prisoners In their cells may do as they please—slug, play instruments or talk. It Is esteemed a safetyvalve in prison control. The other innovation Is a system ol private boxes, one at each door. Into which the prisoner may drop a note of any complaints ho may have without fear of interference by theguard. The warden alone has a key to the boxes. The plan is said to be working well. Mr. Johnson strongly denounces the kitchen facilities at the prison, and also the inconvenience and undersize of the dining room and chapel. The prisoners have to sit edgewise at the table when they eat. It is expected that the prison authorities will soon have trouble in the cooperage department. The contractors have introduced a costly labor-saving machine, which will require the daily task to be twenty-five barrels instead of fifteen. As the prisoners have been granted overtime for their own benefit heretofore, it is probable that they will object to the increase. In other departments the prisoners have no opportunity to earn anything for themselves, and there is dissatisfaction with the con tract labor system on all sides, except that of the contractors.
