Special to the Indlanacolia Journal. London, Oct. 2. —Gladstonites and Parnellites are greatly encouraged at the prospect of attaining their ends at the next session of Parliament The land question is now paramount in England, Scotland and Wales. The various land leagues are actively agitating the subject, and the cry of reform has been raised from one end of the kingdom to the other. No Liberal looks for adequate measures of land, reform from the present govarnment, and the Ifjnisters must accordingly expect that in the next sessiou they will have to encounter an array of bills and resolutions embodying the objects of reformers. The Free Land League has a large representation in Parliament, and steps are being taken to induce private members to bring forward the several objects of the league, such as the abolition of primogeniture, of copyhold tenure, the restriction of settlements; establishment of conveyance by registration of title; enfranchisement of long leaseholds; the better security of agricultural tenancies, and the provision of allotments. In several cases notices are already prepared by members of the league, and it is believed that the action to be taken on these questions next session will conduce powerfully to the restoration of the unity of the Liberal party, in which there is a fair agreement in the principles of the reforms promised by the league. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. How the Japanese Manifest Their Gratitude Toward the English Nation, London, Oct 2. —The Japanese government having decided on a consul V extension of the present railway system oi ihe country, large orders for engines, rails and other railway material are being given to England. The approaching settlement of the treaty questions and the important part, favorable to Japan, played by the British envoy in Tokio, have, it is said, led np to this method of manifesting their gratitude by the Japanese. Portentous Words for Ireland. London, Oct. 2.—Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chief Secretary for Ireland, has returned to London. It is stated that his experience in Ireland has convinced him that exceptional measures will be necessary to maintain order in the country before 1887. It is further said that the Conservative members of Parliament will be notified that their presence at the November session of Parliament will be necessary, in view of the recommendations to be made by the government respecting Ireland. Spanish Rebels Condemned to Death. Madrid, Oct. 2.—A military court has condemned to death fourteen prisoners, including Villacarapa, three officers, five sergeants, three corporals and two oivilians. It is believed that only seven of the convioted men will be shot, Cable Notes. The mission house of the Cowley Oxford, England, was destroyed by fire yesterday. Violent earthquake shocks have occurred throughout Thuringia and other parts of central Germany. General Korbei has been appointed to the command of the First Military Brigade of the German army, with headquarters at Berlin. The appointment has made a sensation, because General Korber is on the retired list.

LABOR MATTERS. Mr. Powderly Serves Notice of an Impending Strike in the Coal Regions. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 2.—General Master Workman Powderly was expected in this borough yesterday, to confer with a committee from District Assembly No. 87, of which Hugh McGarvey. of Beaver Meadows, is the ohairman, but a telegram announced that an imperative call had taken him to Philadelphia. On Thursday anew and further demand, this time by General Master Workman Powderly, was forwarded by circular letter to Cox Bros. & Cos., operators at Drifton; to Dorringer & Gowen and to Airo Pardee’s Sons & Cos., operating at Hazleton, Mount Pleasant and at Latimer. In the circular Powderly says: I address you for the purpose of making a final request that the men receive an advance in wages. I know that it is impossible to longer check the ardor of the men. A strike is inevitable unless something is done to avert it. The men have, acting on our advioe, refrained from striking for some time, but their patience is be’ij exhausted, and we cannot longer provent them from making an effort to adjust their wages. This is the latest circular, and comes from the head of the Knights of Labor. The operators addressed recognize it as the last appeal, but make no acknowledgement. There is no longer doubt that a date has been fixed for a strike. Master Workman McGarvey, of District Assembly No. 87, has received positive advices from Wm, M. Bailey, to get everything ready, so that the order to stop will be obeyed all over the region at the same day and hour. The day fixed is Wednesday, Oct. 6, next, at 12 o’clock, noon. This is the order officially sent Sept. 30 to Master Workman McGarvey, and in that order is the additional caution “that it is a just cause, and must be won if it takes all winter.” The miners ask for a restoration of tbe 10 per cent, reduction made in January, 1885. Toll rates on coal were increased twice in September. The men asked for a redaction in mine supplies, isd met with a stern refusal. The Threatened Strikes at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 2.—The week of the expected strikes and lockouts at the Union stockyards ended this evening with the working forces of the great packing houses and kindred institutions yet intact, though a few of the smaller concerns have practically stopped their machinery for an indefinite period, and one firm, Shields & Neill, ho3 "packed up" and moved to Nebraska, unable longer to withstand the difference between ten hours' work for ten hours’ pay and eight hours' work for ten hours’ pay. That concerted action on the part of the packers is contemplated was freely admitted by them to-day. What the exact nature of their movement is would not be divulged. If made, it will, according to careful estimates made to•day, affect in the neighborhood of 28.000 men, not to speak of those employed in a clerical capacity. The only thing in the nature of a strike occurred today at Armour’s. As the oash boys, sixty in number, in the retail department of Armour’s packing-houses received their cash envelopes to-day each of the youngsters notified the paymaster that he expected an increase from $4.50 per week to $5 from now on. As fast as the boys made known their ultimatum they were told that the house would struggle on without their assistance. The juvenile strikers then adjourned to the railwav tracks near by. where they elected a chairman. He straightway appointed a "strike committee" consisting of five boys, varying in age from right to twelve years. The committee did its work well, for, when the superintendent went out on a search for boys to fill the places of the dissatisfied cash boys, he met with nothing but blank refusals. The K. of L. General Assembly. Richmond, Oct. 2.—The approaching meeting of the National Assembly of the Knights of Labor has been the one absorbing topic o' interest here for some days. Already many Knights have arrived, including delegations from New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louis, Troy, N. Y., Amsterdam, Cohoes. Lebanon, Pa., Blossburg, Pa., and Brooklyn. Each incoming train brings new accessions, and it is expeeted that by Monday morning all delegations will have arrived. ‘ All the’ hotels have been filled, and many delegates have private quarters. The sessions of the assembly will be held in the drill hall of the First Virginia Regiment, the largest hall In the city. There will be accomrpodations for seating about two thousand persons, although the convention will not number more than one thoussnd or twelve hundred. General Master Workman Powderiy arrived to-night. His headquarters are at Ford’s Hotel. General Secretary Turner arrived yesterday. The aasembly will have an open session on Monday, when Governor Lee will formally welcome the Knights, and General Master Workman Powderly will respond and deliver the annual address. The subsequent sessions of the assembly will be secret, but the press will be furnished with a record of all important business done which it desires made twhlic.

Wilkes Wins the Trotting Race at Chicago in Three Straight Heats. Chicago, Oct 2.— The special trotting meeting at Washington Park to-day was attended by over eight thousand people. The weather and track were perfect. All admirers of the old-time sport and the lovers of the trotting horse and red sulky seemed to be in their element. The first event was for a special sweepstakes of S2OO each and a silver cup valued at SSOO. Entries: Opal, Dick Stauffer, Jeanette and Editor. The horses got away to a fair start, with Opal at the pole and in the lead —a position which he held to the last quarter, where he was headed by Stauffer, closely followed by Editor. This position, however, was not long maintained. Editor closed np and passed Opal, coming under the wire a neck behind Stauffer; Opal a bad third, with Jeannette taking the dust from the crowd. The second and third heats were virtually a repetition of the first, except that Opal took second place in the second heat, and third place in the third. Following is the summary: Dick Stauffer..... 1 1 1 Editor 2 4 2 Opal 3 2 3 Jeannette 4 3 4 Time—2:2l*4, 2:231*. 2:22. The second race was the great event of the day—a grand special sweepstakes, SSOO entrance, with $4,000 added by the club. The starters were: Oliver K. (driver, Budd Doble); Harry Wilkes (driver, Van Ness); Belle F. (driver, W. H. McCarthy.) The start was an even one, with Oliver K. at the pole. At the half mile Oliyer K went into the air and Wilkes took the lead, keeping it to the finish, with Oliver K. a good second and Belle well in tbe rear. In the second heat, Oliver K. was on Wilkes’s wheel from the start to the finish, without a break, but was outtrotted by the little one. Belle F. was a bad third all the way round. In the third heat the horses got off to a good start and trotted the heat in the same order as named in the second. The following is the summary: Harry Wilkos 1 1 1 Oliver K. 2 2 2 Belle F 33 3 Time—2:l6*3, 2:17*4, 2:16*4-

First Race—Purse S2OO, of which SSO goes to second. Pools sold before the start: Glen Almonds, sl2; Pocomoke, $10; Vulcan, $lO, and the field, $25. The start was made with Evangeline in the li ad and Rebound second, but at the half Kennebec had taken second place and Volcano was third.

Second Race—Selling; purse, S3OO, of which SSO goes to second; six furlongs. With fifteen horses to start, the patience of the starter, spectators, jockeys and horses was sorely tried. Little Charlie twice broke away and ran all around the course. When the start was finally made. Red Stone, who had sold as favorite for sl6, with Elsie B. $9, Dancing Kid $9, and the field $25, was practically left at the post. He sprang forward, however, and managed to make a fair showing at the finish. Lisland led from the start, with Elsie fs. and Wahoo near her, and these three practically made the racing. Lisland was never headed, and won by a length; Wahoo second, Dancing Kid third. Time, 1:16%. Third Race—Purse, SSOO, of which SIOO goes to second; one mile and seveuty yards. Before the start Sjols sold: Jim Gray, S4O; Sir Joseph, $25: Gold an. sl3; field, sl3. The start gave Monocrat a good lead, with Jim Gray second, Sir Joseph third, Gold Ban fourth, and Elgin away behind. At the quarter Jim Gray had a clear two lengths the lead of Monocrat, with Sir Joseph third. At the half the order was changed by Sir Joseph taking second place and Monocrat dropping to fourth, while Elgin was out of the race for good. The horses were pretty well bunched at the third quarter, and Sown the stretch Sir Joseph made a gallant push, and took first place under the wire by a length; Jim Gray second, and Monocrat third, ’l ime, 1:47. Fourth Race—Purse $350, of which SSO goes to second; for fillies three years old; one mile and a half a furlong. Flora L. was the favorite in the pools, selling for $25, with $lO for Malvar, $6 for Lloya, and the field $lO. Lloya had a slight lead at the start and kept it at the wire, with Aearia second and Flora L. third. Flora L. took second place at the half mile, while the others alternated, wirh Hattie Carlisle in the rear. After passing the third quarter Flora L. pulled out and easily won by two lengths, with Lloya second, Longlight third. Time, 1:51*3. Fifth Race—Springbrook stakes for three-year-olds; one mile and five furlongs. Silver Cloud was barred in pools sold just before the start. Guenn sold for $25, the field. $37. Silver Cloud started to make the race, with Montana Regent at his flank, and Brookful third, Guenn fourth and Harrodsburg last. There were no changes in these positions until the horses came to the wire, when Guenn had taken third place, and Brookful fourth. Montana Regent showed himself able to hang to the flank of Silver Cloud. At the half-mile post they were side by side, and soon after Silver Cloud showed signs of distress. At the third quarter Montana Regent passed him and won by a length in a canter; Guenn second, Silver Cloud third. Time, 2:54. BASE-BALL.

Mays is declared to be the lowest salaried pitcher in the Association. The Chicago club has won almost as many games as it finished with last year. The Washington club has had thirty-fivo players under contract this season. Kansas City is arranging October exhibition games with Western League clubs. St. Paul pays one-armed Daily SBOO per month, aud gives him SIOO in advance. Chicago and Kansas City were the first League clubs to finish their season at home. It is said that there will be a fight over the coaching rules in the American Association. The League schedule—and, for that matter, the Association schedule, too —next season will be quite different from that of this year. It is jiroposed to codify the playing rules of the League and the American Association so that one code will govern the whole country. The Kansas Citys have been blanked five times this season; Ntw York, 5; Philadelpela, 5; Detroit, 1; St. Louis, 6; Boston, 3; Washington, 10; Chicago, 3. The Chicagos have whitewashed opponents six times this season; Detroit,, 7; Kansas City, 3: St. Louis. 4; Washington, 3; Philadelphia, 9; New York, 3; Boston, 2. Sporting Life: Larry McKeon made a great mistake when he joir ed Kansas City with his arm in such poor condition. He should have retired until next season for perfect rest. As it is, he is losing all his reputation, as well as running the risk of permanently ruining his arm. Hecker leads the Association batting recot and with .365: O’Neil, second, .360; Orr. third, .336; Toole and Browning tied for fourth, .325; Caruthers, fifth, .323: Carroll, sixth, .313; Stovey, seventh, .311; Larkin, eighth, .310; Latham, ninth. .308; Khomberg, tenth, .292; Phillips, eleventh, .291. aud Brown, twelfth, .286.

Mountain, seventyfourth; Handiboe, seventy-sixth. The Chicagos. the champion nine of the League, and the St. Louis Browns, winners of the first honors in the American Association, will play a series of games for the world's championship. President Von Der Ahe, of the Browns, has challenged the Chicagos to play five, seven or nine games in the two cities interested. and Mr. Spalding has accepted, lie suggests that four games be played in Chicago, four in St. Louis and one on neutral ground. He will play only on condition that the club winning the majority of games shall take the total gate receipts for the nine games. Each club must pay its own traveling expenses. Mr. Spalding will agree to play four of the games under the American Association rules, but the other four must be goverened by the League rules and the ninth by mutual agreement or lot. He also suggests that the umpires be selected before the commencement of each game from four men, two each of the associations. Umpires are given permission to fine men for insubordination, the fines inflicted to go to some charitable institution.

SHOOTING AND SHOOTERS. The Week's News and Gossip About Local Marksmen and Their Doings. Secretary Mendenhall, of the Cleveland bench show, is in the city. A meeting of the North Side Gun Club will be held at No. 53 Thorpe Block, Monday night. Mr. C. Browder and party have returned from a three weeks' fishing and hunting trip, and repo-t having had an excellent time. The North Side Gun Club will shoot at Bock’s Park to-morrow afternoon. A return match with the New Albany club will also be shot, Mr. A. Ba weg, of this city, has boon chosen manager and referee of the Connersville shooting tournament on the Ilth and 12th inst. Wild pigeons are repor ed as being plenty in Jefferson and Jackson counties, and several local shots are preparing to take a two days' hunt in that vicinity. jg£ A number of shooting-matches that were to have taken place during the past, week were postponed on account of the fair, and will very likely occur this week. The recent match between Samuel Small and Chas. Craig, was won by the latter gentleman. The match was a very close one, and will very likely lead to another challenge from Small. On next Wednesday the Marion Gun Club will have a shoot at Howe's Park, after which sweepstake shooting will be had. On Thursday the Amateur Club will shoot at the same place. The Meridian Gun Club have agreed to have but three more matches this year, and the member making the best average score to retain the badge until next year's shooting score opens. The Indiana Kennel Ciub. at its meeting Friday night last, decided to at once proceed to canvass for new members, with tho object in view of holding a State bench show some time this winter. The match between J ohn Gaspor and Hamp Kerr who shot at Beck’s Park, last week, resulted in a’ victory for the former by a score of thirty six to thir-ty-four. This was the second match between these gentlemen, Mr. Kerr being twice defeated. Mr. George Beck has issued a challenge through the American Field that ho will name two shooters in this city who can defeat any two men in the State, the target to be at fifty single and twenty-five pairs of Peoria blackbirds. He is evidently after tho Fort Wayne delegation again. Horace Comstock was very much surprised on last Friday night at the mooting of the Indiana Kennel Club, when he was presented with the sister of his dog that was accidentally killed the day beforo. The gift is a very generous one, and was made by Sir. Freeman, superintendent of the bench show. Hunters who have just returned from the K.vikakoe marshes report that the land which last year was under water, and afforded such excellent sport at duckshooting. is now perfectly dry. Farmers living near the marshes say it was never known to be dry before, and that duck-shooters will have to seek other fields for good shooting, The steady increase in the number of trap-shooters is due to the near approach of the season when quick and difficult shots bring to the game-bag its coveted bird. Quails are reported in great numbers in overy county in the state, and it is safe in predicting that more of them will be shot this year in Marion county than were killed throughout the entire State last year. The despicable pot-hunter will be in his glory at this state of affairs. Gun stores report a brisk demand for guns and ammunition of Linds, and those who own

field pieces that have not been seen for months are putting them in good condition for the sport Cos vie* of quails have been located near the city, aud the light of day will dawn upon many of the shooters on the 15th inst. far from the city, in the fields.

Discovery of Stolen Goods, Last evening Sergeants Lowe and Quiglev arrested David Williams, charged with stealing silverware from the Occidental Hotel, where he had, until recently, been employed. When arrested he furnished the information that be had a partner in the affair in the person of a woman. The officers at once suspected Mary Wilkins, working for the Whitsell family, No. 379 North Dela ware street, and arrested her this morning at 1 o’clock. In her trunk, where she was working, were found articles of all descriptions, which she had stolen, and she confessed to having two trunks on Russell avenue filled with goods she and Williams had stolen. The officers had the trunks brought to the .station-house, and when opened they were found to contain over S6OO worth of silverware, clothing, silk handkerchiefs and other articles. Some Anecdotes of Stonewall Jackson. October Century. Talking with him onco about some subject of casuistry or prevarication, I put the question direct to him, “Did you never tell a lie?" Pausing, as was his invariable mariner before giving a categorical answer, br if for an introspective review of his consciousness, he said: “Yes, but only once, so far as I can remember. I was leading my men through a rank chaparral, infested by Mexican guerillas. The balls were flying incessantly, and the broad leaves of the tropical plants were being riddled through and through. They became panic stricken, and, notwithstanding my repeated order for advance, they hung back. Stepping some distance in front of them, into a narrow pass, where the bullets were whizzing round my head, and the foliage was being cut to ribbons, I called out: “ ’Follow me, men! Don’t you see there is no danger?* #■#**.-**#**

“He never posted a letter without calculating whether it would have to travel on Sunday to reach its place of destination, and, if so, he would not mail it till Monday morning. Still further did he carry bis Puritanical observance. Unnumbered times have I known him to receive important letters so late on Saturdav night that he would not break his fixed resolution never to use his eyes, which were very delicate, by arti ficial light; he would carry the letters in his pocket till Monday morning, then rise with the sun to read them. “In the winter of ’6l-62, while Jackson’s forces were at Winchester, he sent a brigade to destroy the canal leading to Washington. The expedition proved a failure, and he attributed it, in some measure, to the fact that Sunday had been needlessly trespassed noon. So, when a second expedition was planned, he determined there should be no Sabbath-breaking connected with it that be could prevent. The advance was to be made early on Monday morning. On Saturday he ordered ray husband (Colonel Preston, at that time on his staff) to see that the necessary ! powder was in readiness. The quartermaster could not find a sufficient quantity in Winchester on Saturday, but during Sunday it was procured. On Sunday evening the fact in some way got to Jackson’s ears. At a very early hour on Monday he dispatched an officer to Shepherdstown for other powder, which was brought. Then, summoning Colonel Preston, he said very decisively: “ Colonel, I desire that you will see that the powder which is used for this expedition is not the powder that was procured on Sunday.’ ” Dimensions of Heaven. Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer. “Did you ever read the sixteenth verse of the twenty-first chapter of Revelation? No? Well, read it, and you will get some interesting figures about the world above the skies. It gives the dimensions of heaven, and reads this way: ‘And he measured the city with a reed, 12.000 furlongs. The length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.’" “Have you ever made the calculation?” “Yes, here it is now,” and he handed the reporter the following: “Twelve thousand furlongs equal 7,920.000 feet, which, being cubed, is 426,793.088,000,000,000.000 cubic feet. Reserving one half of this space for the throne and court of heaven, and half the balance for streets, we have the remander, 124,198,272.000.000,000.000 cubic feet. Divide this by 4,006, the cubic feet in a room sixteen feet square, and there will he 30.321,842.750,000,000 rooms. Now. suppose the world did and always will hold 900,000.000 inhabitants, and that a generation lasts thirtv three and onethird years, making in all 2.070,000,000,000 inhabitants every century, *nd that the world will stand 190,000,000 years, or 1,000 centuries, maktn all 2,070,000,000.000 inhabitants. Then sup* pose there were 160 worlds equal to this in the number of the inhabitants and duration of years, making a total of 2.979.000.000.000,000 persons, and there would be more than, 100 rooms sixteen feet square for each person.” The Mj'steries of the Ocean. Philadelphia Times. Though there are still deep mysteries about the Gulf stream and ocean winds and storms a great deal of light is being shed upon the subject of atmospheric and ocean currents. It is known, for inetance, that there is a constant current of cold water setting from the poles of the earth to the equator, and consequently a counter-current df heated water from the equator to the poles. The green shores of Ireland are on the same parallel with the ice-bound coast of Labrador; Paris is north of Quebec; Liverpool is as far north as the bleak countries where the Esquimeaux hunt the seals in seas of ice. These differences of climate, a difference that gives to France and Spain the vine and olive, are all the result of that mystery of mystery, the Gulf stream, which is also supposed to be the influence that is making in this country on the seaboard within the past year or two the winters warmer and the summers cooler. Whatever the cause, the hotel men all along the coast are amazed at the cool weather of the summer just closing, and begin to express the opinion that chanees are taking place in the climate of the country that must utterly change ail the habits of summer pleasuretaking that have boon in vogue. An Klaphant’e Good Memory. London Telegraph. An amusiug circumstance happened at Hythe yesterday, when an elephant belonging to a circus freely helped himself to an early breakfast. It appears that between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning the animal managed to effect his escape from his companions and paid a visit to a hou.se with which his memory had a pleasant association—a little shop at the corner of Market street On arriving at the place the elephant found that it was closed, but, nothing daunted, he coolly lifted the door off its hinges and helped himself liberally to the contents of the shop, potatoes, Apples and sweets. When he had either satisfied bis appetite or hnd exhausted the supply of good things, he retraced his steps, and

on the return journey he was met by his keepers, who had in the meantime become aware of his absence. The animal in question visited Hythe about eleven or twelve years ago, and when passing this house was treated by its then tenant to a good meal of potatoes. This seemed to have left so good an impression on the animal’s mind that he was led to pay another visit to so pleasant a spot, with the result recorded above. About the same time next morning he again got away, and was making for the same place, but was discovered by his keeper before he had gone far on his expedition. What Stuuued Him. Nashville American. They stood at the front gate as the closing scene of a long evening’s engagement. The conversation had dwindled to base hits, and his intellect had grown limp framing excuses for hanging on. “Charley,” she began, as she dropped languidly over the gate, “can you tell mo who will be Governor?” “Why, certainly,” he replied; “Taylor will” Then they laughed a little ungrammatical ripple at Charley’s break. “But, Charley,” she continued, “I’m serious. Don’t you think ’twould be too awfully bad for them to have two brothers going around speaking against each other and saying all those horrid things?” Charley had not sifted the results of such an evil, but replied: “Yes, I confess ’twould look a little tough, but then, you see, they wouldn’t go into personalities, but discuss the issues before the people.” “What are the issues, Charley?” The line was too long, but, with a death-rattle in his throat, he stammered: “Oh, you know, the Blair bill, I suppose, and — oh—the tariff, and—” A great light kindled in her beautiful eyes, and, leaning close over the gate, she whispered in a soft, balcony sigh: “Charley, won’t you tell me all about the tariff?” That swept his decks. His information wasn’t ouilt that way. Bob Ingersoll on Prohibition. Interview in Pittsburg Dispatch. “Have you any objection to giving your views on Prohibition?” “I am opposed to it Prohibition interferes with the private rights of individuals. It breeds spies and hypocrisy. It turns the home into the saioon. It fills a community with cant and pretense, and makes every neighbor a spy on the other. “You can never make a great people by keeping them away from temptation. We grow strong by resisting temptation. As people grow civilized they grow temperate, and in order to become civilized tbsy must be free. Temperance goes hand in hand with liberty, because liberty is the mother of obligation of conscience.” “What do you think of the Murphy movement?” “Its principle is correct It is right to endeavor to dissuade your neighbor from indulging in intoxicants and becoming a drunkard, and moral suasion is the method to be used. I believe in temperance, total abstinence. Liqnor is the curse of this country. I have always been a temperance man, and never draDk a drop of whisky in my life.” “What part do you think the Prohibition party will play in politics?” “That is hard to say. It may hold the balance of power, but I hardly think so. Ido not chink it is growing to any extent, and wili not.” A Peculiar People. New York Commercial Advertiser. A peculiar race of people are living on the Delaware coast, near the Indian River bay. They number some 200 at present, and have occupied that region more than a century. A long while ago a Moorish vessel was wrecked on that coast, and its survivors remained and paired off with the Indians dwelling thereabout. The two bloods became thoroughly mixed, and have formed a distinct race. These people prefer isolation from the rest of the human family, with whom they have scarcely any intercourse. They are swarthy of complexion, tall, erect, sinewy, and, on the whole, quite comely. Several years ago the Delaware Legislature, in compliance with their petition, granted them a special school fund. They have their own teacher and preacher, their own school house and church. They have a head or chief, who is counselor and umpire for all of them. They fish, hunt and till the soil, some of them being weli-to-do farmers. They are exceedingly litigious, appearing as plaintiffs or defendants at every session of the county courts. In this particular they evince the effect of civilization more than in anything else. Half-savage races always copy tbe vices of the civilized.

One in Marriage, Not in Politics. Portland Oreponian. Says a Tacoma exchange: '‘Woman suffrage is apt to bring about a strange state of affairs. An illustration of this was afforded not long since in a convention in this county, where a lady delegate in several instances voted in opposition to her father, who was a delegate from the same precinct But a still more peculiar case is that in Lincoln county, where Frank M. Gray, editor of the Davenport Times, who was a member, of the Territorial Republican convention, is a Republican candidate for the Legislature, while Mrs. Gray, his wife and associate editor, is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for school superintendent. This causes a contemporary to remark that ‘it is safe to say that the merits and demerits of the school superintendent will not be very thoroughly canvassed by the Times man. ’ Where there is so much enterprise and taleot in a family, two editors and two capable people, it is not necessary that any criticising be (lone. The lady is undoubtedly fully fitted for the office, for, if we understand it aright, she has often conducted the paper during the senior editor’s absence, and is, therefore, possessed of abilities of no mean order. Here’s success to editor and editress.” In the Season of Chills. Philadelphia Press Perhaps the surest safeguard from the physical ills that follow continued exposure during the changeful autumn season is to be found in the persistent wearing of underwear that is exclusively woolen. Thus protected, a chill is next to imDOSsible, for the pores of the skin cannot become clogged unless the exudations remain upon the surface. Woolen underwear takes up the Insensible perspiration of the body, imparting a grateful feeling of warmth without undue moisture. It should be worn, during the autumn season at least, to the exclusion of all other fabrics. If a sudden cold should he taken, the remedy most approved is home practice—five to ten drops of oil of tar on a lump of sugar—should be taken without delay. In nine cases out of ten this simple medicament will be all that will be required. A littlecareand atteution during the critical days of autumn may enable the most sensitive individual to encounter the severe winter season without experiencing any ‘‘malarial” symptoms whatever. A Boston Relaxation. Ban Francisco Chronicle. There would appear to be a great deal of primitive human simplicity in Boston. We have heard a great deal about its culture and its dignity, but the affectionate tenderness of the Boston girls is of* an equally superior aud touching quality. They have dogs in Boston. 1 don’t know what they call them there, but they have them. To those who believe that nothing but heavy literature is permitted there, to prove that they have relaxations, and amusements, and sympathetic occupation, let me quote from a letter from a lady in that city to a friend here: “You will have to excuse a short letter, because lam very busy. I am bringing up nine Newfoundland pups on the bottle, and it’s an engrossing duty.” Refused to Laugh. Aimy and Navy Journal. “We were the guests of a well-known London lady,’’ said Mr. Depew, “shortly after we reached London, and were treated to a very nice dinner. When the speech-making began, General Porter led off, aud I followed. I began with au apology, saying that General Porter had stolen ray best stories, and that Mr. Dougherty’s stories were so bad that I would leave all of them for him to tell. Then I looked around, and every Englishman in the room was sitting as solemn and unmoved as a marble statue. It was a dreadful wet blanket to throw over a man who was trying to be entertaining, but I got through somehow. “General Porter had said that he had arrived iu England,by the Lano route, and that he had found it vory pleasant to see the trees growing

alone the lane and to hear the birds singing in the branches. That too, was received by the Englishmen in profound silence. When the affair was over we went after oar hats and coats, and I heard a man behind a cloak-screen eayt ‘Davvillsh queer fellahs, those Atnerioens, don’t yon know? Stealing stories from each other! Did you ever hear of such breach of confidence!’ ’Yes’ said another, ‘but did you hear what that fellow said about the Lane route? Why, that man is the most surprising liar I ever saw. Do you know, I’ve been to America and back by the Lane route myself, and I do assure yon, gentlemen, that you won’t find so much as a shrub growing anywhere between the two continents. Trees indeed! Really, the Americans are a dreadfully unprincipled set of people.’” In Memory of the Drummer, Chicago Herald. “I attended a funeral out in Burlington the other day,” said a drummer, “aod I want to tell you of a novel floral device which was displayed on the coffin.

Some of the American humorists are men of great feeling and sentiment. A friend of mine met Eugene Field on the cars, and they got to talking about various things. “Yes,” said Field, “a newspaper man always appreciates his home. I’ve got a wife and some children, and I go home to them after a hard day’s work, feeling all the need of a rest, and I sit down in a comfortable little dining-room with them all around me, and I feel good. I launch out and tell my wife how nice it is to have a quiet home, how solemn aud sweet are tho household ties, and how restful it is to be among one’s innocent children.
