Th grocers Lara moat articles down to tha Tery bottom prices. Signs haii nerer b3a so cheap. It means that tue bloody ahirt shall be s?at to the laundry and that the barnaclei f hall be ecraped from the ship of State. Ths election being now over, brethren, it -will be well for all hands to cast rancor to lni?,rd and drop political difference!. Oa hundred years ago tnia month Congreaamet la Trenton, h". J., and that city came ery near beins selected for the permanent eeat of Government. Tee only "rebel jell" neard last week wa piven by an exasperated editor in South Peed who lest the SnerifTa adrertisin? at tha last election. Otherwise it really looks aa if the wax was over. MiuClztkland actually returned a dog that seme one eent him the other day for a prseent It was not C. 0. D. either. Why Cleveland is ripping the very entrails out of the traditions and precedents of the g. o. p. We would comfort our Republican friends with the assurance that it is all a mistake, ölayery is not to be restored. The rebel debt is not to be paid, nor are all datiea on iraporta to be abolished. Do yourselves no harm, gentlemen. Off thins at least may be regarded as reasonably certain, viz., that Governor Cleveland will gently, bot firmly repel the approach of the unsavory clique of jobbers and public plunderers whose friendship brought iuralliation and disaster to Mr. Blaine. Did anybody ever see such civil service reformers as our Republican friends are just 307. It is really wonderful, when it is remembered that the rigid enforcement of the civil service act would remove about all of the 2i for the active part they took in the isceat campaiza. It is in politics pretty much as it is with churches. The people who sing the loudest and throw the most action in their prayers are &3 a general thing those who never pay their pew rent. The men who mafce the moat fuss during an election about taxes and labor are the ones who pay no taxes and do no work. Be bisks men, indeed everybody, knows that business has been interrupted by the Lave political campaign, but we would warn the public against expecting an immediate revival. The holidays are near at hand, and tha annual stock- taking and accountuartag suggest moderation in expectations, If only to avoid fresh disappointment. TJsrrn. lately most of the supply of .agar La Denmark wan imported. Now the mate rial for sugar is provided within the beund axles of the kingdom. Six years ago the Danes made 2,000,000 pounds of beet-root sugar, and four years later the figures rose to 8,600,000 pounds. The production of 13S2 exceeded tnat of 1S1 by fully 2,000,000 pounds. Thx next question before the American people involves this: Shall the rascals stay? The highest authority testifies that Govern ruant employes in the departments at Wash ington contributed no less than $25,000 to Sir. Blaine's campaign fund. These youth9 will, no doubt, when the proper time comes invoke the protection of civil service reform. Tnr. local Republican press while operating their mud batteries upon the Vice Fretii-dent-elect have evidently forgotten that his first claim to favorable home consideration lies in the fact that he is a gentleman. Those who cannot get their own consent to be classified under the same head will continue their blackguardism simply because they cannot help it. Thk most atrocious chapter in the history cf the late campaign is the one recording the appointment of Deputy ; United States Karshals at Cincinnati. It was not only a oouapiracy against the Treasury, but resulted la murder. It was especially characteristic of the Republican party, born of its idea or belief, that the people are incapable of self-government. Thx Chicago Herald truthfully and wisely remarks that this country is bound to move diftadily forward in the paths of prosperity. Its condition will certainly be improved with Judicious ehange in its economic system. Taxation beyond the needs of the Govvnraent should be reduced, and the friends of taria laid for revenue only should continue to propagate their wholesome doctrine at times when mere party prejudice arvi Mas do not cloud the judgment. THE BEATEN PARTY. An esteemed exchange well says: "It will oe profitable for Republican to bear in cnind that the Republican parry which has taea beaten is not the Republican party of Lincoln, Samaer, Beward, Greeley, Gtddings, Phillips, Garrison and Chase. It is a very diüerent organization. If they could have Urt4 until to-day, or if their places had been HUed by men of their character, the Republican party would not have been beaten . "When parties are long In power, they have a tendency to attract to themselvea tha characteriess adventurers who have no principle, ad who event ally obtain control. Apolitical party is what its lealers, not its rack aadfüa, make iL Men goon idolizing a party came long after It has ceased to stand for tha things which once endeared it to them. The party that has been beaten has simply met the fate of all parties. The one that has trlmnthed will go the earn way, loubtlesa. "Steve Elklna, William Walter rhelpa, Seror Robeson, Bill Chandler, Steve Dorsey, Dick Harrington, T. a Piatt, A. B. Conen, Whltelaw Reid, John A. Logan, Jamee G. Jiiaine, Benjamin F. Butler and Frank Hattan are not the men who made the Republican party great They are th men who wrecked it." MODIFYING IT. The lies told about the 8elma jollification xaeetlng are being modified, latest version is that the Democrats did not cheer for JeJ Davis, but that "they threatened to do it," and that no rebel flag was actually flwo-i, Int thit Ii Dflsucxitj said Vy

vxxild mitt om." The-Republican! raade the excuse for their outrage on 'a Democratic

procession that cheers had been given for Davis and a rebel flag unfurled. We believed and said at the time that If any cheers were given for old Jeff or flags of that kind unfurled, it was tha work of Republicans. Gel ma radicalism is about as mean and low as the kind that grow J in certain quarters of Marion County. The ballot-box stuffers of Delaware County always get their work in at this unsavory Republican retreat. There is only one Damocrat in Selma (says the Muncle correspondent of the Commercial Gazette), and this information accounts for the sometime, large Republican majority (?) in Delaware County. Think of one Democrat in a neat like that and ho expected to watch and take care of all the villaioies in that precinct. The devil himself might have received bo me cheers in Belma without invoking any unusual amount of curiosity. The old chap has a good many points to recommend him as a boss of Republicanism. HEDGING AGAINST ANOTHER DE FEAT. The recent overwhelming defeat and rout of Indiana Republicanism has had a very dismal effect upon certain papers of the late "g.o.p." Among them is the Lafayette Journal, which clamors for another colored exodus. It thinks if 10,000 more Southern negroes can be induced to come into Indiana then Republicanism can once again ba galvanized into life. Hear now the waiL It taya: uIf 10,000 henest, hard-working negroes in the South were invited and assisted to locata permanently among the tamers of Indiana, where they could be sure of steady work at good wapes year after year, that State would never aainbe carried by the De 210crata. Tlace 10,000 more in Ohio, 10,000 in Illinois, 20,000 in New York, 5,000 in New Jersey, 5,000 in Connecticut and what would be the result? Every Northern State would, for many years to come, give a handsome Republican majority. It would break the 'solid South,' and make several of those States reliably Republican also. Let ten or twelve prosperous farmers in every township of the States mentioned each agree to employ one good, hard wording man, and then send an agent South to select the men. It will be an easy matter to get them. There are thousands of negroes in every Southern State who would be glad of the chance. They will work hard and make good clti zens. Try them. We hope the press will take np this subject and discuss it freely." We warn the Journal that the Democracy ia reconstructing the best colored men into Ltemocr&U. The probabilities are that ths more Southern nezroea come into the State that much more will the Democratic ma jonty b in 1SSS. IT HAS GONE. Everything has its day. Tlanchett played out. Pinafore perished from the memory cf those who were wont to freight th s evening air with the burden of very bad song. Bar bara Allen, that cruel beauty, the story of whose melancholy fate, plaintively warbled. first brought tears and then sleep to the eyes of the infants fifty years ago, is now scarcely more than a reminiscence. A sermon preached from the scripture, "Simon's wife's mother lay sick of fever," got to be old when rehearsed to the same congregation the twentieth time. People tire of trash, and but precious lit tie of to-day 'a literature will earvive for fifty years. The first volume ef Mr. Blaise's book will be preserved as a curiosity curi ous in that it was written bj an author who, as a candidate for President, feared the solid Bcuth; that the author of a work whitewash mg the Dread Scot decision afterwards made the speech Vtributed to Mr. Blaine at An gusta. Like Planchott, Pinafore and a thou sand other humbugs, the Republican party, to gether with the class of statesmen represented by I T. Barnum and Steye Eikini tnat Ku Klnxed the country last summer with a threatened invasion and a suspension of all industry unlees Cleveland and Hendricks were defeated, ia even now but little more than an unpleasant memory, and it will grow dimmer as time goes on. The ideas advanced by the defeated party will provoke laughter, manufactories will start in the South; emigration will turn toward that sec tion, and put upon their own good behavior by the complete restoration of every princi pie of Belf-govemment, all feeling of section alism will disappear; there will be apprecia tion of sec on ties, w hen depreciation was pain fully prophesied ; public tranquility, instead of rupture and disturbed repose. Instead cf returning the negro to slavery or curtailing any of his rights, it will lift him to a higher plain of American citizenship than he has hith-rto enjoyed. A thorough concloasnesa of Uiesa facts is what makes the average iemocrai giaa. THE OIL SPOT. There are all sorts of phenomena reported from time to time in the newspapers which excite wonder and amarment for the time tela?, and then meat of them fade out of remembrance because of their apparent un reliability or improbability. The Popular Science Monthly, however, ono of the most reliable of American literary and scienti&c productions, in a recent discussion of "the oil supply of th world," refers to what it calls "The Oil Spot." Its description of it is quite interesting. About ten miles south of He Sabine River, which forma Ithe boundary between Texas and Louisiana, and about a mile from the shore, there exists a natural phenomenon known to sailors as "The Oil Spot." In fine weather there is nothing remarkable to attract the attention of a straDger; but when an angry gale from tha northeast sweeps the ocean, and great crested waves rise In battle array, this charmed natural harbor reveals itself. No visible boundary divides it from the tempestuous ocean around; but within a space two miles 1b length the waters remain perfectly calm, their only change being that they become turbid and red, as though the oil-bearing mud wer stirred up from below. A broad belt of white foam and towering breakers mark where the mighty waves, rolling shoreward in their might, with all the foroe gathered in an unbroken sweep of TOO miles across tha Gulf, are suddenly arrested and sink down, conquered and powerless, bo soon as they come within the mysterious influence of this gentlest of rulers. Unfortunately, this peaceful haven is very shallow; Its depth is various V slated at twelve and eighteen feet, ao that only veai ce2c of life-it burden, can ten taks shelter.

But to Iheee, blessed, indeed. Is the change

of pa&iog suddenly from the wild tossing of the outer ocean to the wonderful calm of this strange harbor, where the weary crew may rest as securely as though within an encompassing reef. Indeed, the stranger ap proaching this wall of breakers would naturally assume it to be caused by a dangerous reef, and would, as a matter of course, seek eafety by steering away from it. We believe that no scientific examination of this so-called Oil Spot has yet been ravi. Sailors wbo have here found re fags state tbat the bottom is of a soft, soapy mud, into which they can easily push a pole to a con siderable depth a mud which, when ap plied to deck-scrubbing, is found to be exceedingly cleansing. WHAT'S THIS? After all the talk of outrages in the Southern States and the bulldozing of Democrats by Republican bummers and roughs in Delaware and Montgomery Counties, Indiana, we were hardly prepared to hear of similar affairs in the very home of the Puritan and Pilgrim the State of "the cradle of Uberty," and the abiding place of the very inner sanctuary of free speech Massachusetts; the old Bay State. Yet we find that the Republican of Massachusetts is cat from the same pat tern as his Selma, Delaware County, brother. The Boston Post, of a recent date, says that disappointment over the election has resulted in numerous outrages by ths Republicans, who, to ent their petty spite, have not hesitated to destroy property and endanger life. An instance of this criminal folly occurred a few days ago at Andover, Mass , where a etone was thrown through a window in the residence f a gentleman, because the portraits of Cleveland end Hendricks were there displayed. Flags were stolen from his grounds, and a pistol shot fired into'the front door, the only reason for the outrages being that the gentleman lived in a locality where radi cal Republicanism only is tolerated. Such high-handed proceedings are a disgrace to the country and should be stopped at all baards. Our over-virtuous Republican con temporaries who are vainly sec-king for ne gro outrages in the South, would do well to abandon their search until they have fully succeeded in suppressing crimes taking place in the North, and Rgainst citizens whose only fault is having voted the Damocratic ticket. A STRdW. Very trilling atTairs or incidents sometimes reveal the character of men. It is rather by such modes that we are gradually getting an insight into the character of our I'resi dent-elect. His public career has been so correct and quiet; so free from show and glitter; bo characteristically and criminally misrepresented by the Ilepublican press, that the large mass of the Republican party, who either do cot read at all, or when they do, confine that reading to Republican papers, have absolutely no other bat the lowest con ception of the man. These, of course, must go through a sort of kindergarten education at first, so that they may be gradually prepared for the new era that we trust ia about to dawn on our happy land through the new Democratic administration. It is with some such views that we give in connection with Mr. Cleveland, a suggest ive incident, as we find it in the Hartford (Conn.) Times: When Grant was President, he had a colored barber, whom he had designated to shave him, appointed to a clerkship in the Fourth Auditor's office, Treasury Department. At least he was carried on the rolls of that office as a clerk, but he did but little work in the Treasury. He barberized Grant twice a week, and also shaved Porter, Eabcock, and others of Grant's official household. He was not kept at work one hour a day on an average. Hayes kept him, and so did Garfield. Ha is now the oincial barber of the White House, and besides attending to the President, ehaves Phillips, the Private Secretary, and the White House clerks. Through an intimate friend he tried to fix himsolf with Governor Cleveland. Cleveland's answer was, after hearing the application: "That's one office I will abolish. The Treasury Department will not have to pay for my barber." This Is altogether different from Mr. Speaker Keifer, at the Garfild funeral, who promptly charged up a five cont "shine" to the Government. BLAINE AND CONKL1NO. Newspaper speculation as to the probable composition of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet having in a measure subsided, the political future of those interesting gentlemen, Mr Oonkling and Mr. Blaine, becomes a natural BUbjectof delate. The defeated candidate for the Presidency many of his admirers are even now returning to the United States Senate by the act of an enthusiastic Pennsylvania constituency, and the solemn stalwart of New York is also to be a member of that an gust body by a vote attesting Democratic good wllL Mr. Blaine's election is not likely to happen exactly that way for the reaon that the Keystone ' tata would be slow to confess Its poverty of Senatorial timber by seeking among the pineries of Maine. If Ohio had been substituted for Pennsylvania, as the Commonwealth disposed to do itself this honor by asking tho gifted Mr. Blaine to forego the felicity of domestic life and accept puLlio responsibility, the story would have found a readier belief in the Sentinel office. The Ohio man's modesty la proverbial, and he.is sd utterly unlike death or the tax collector that be refuses to appear where even spoil ia to be divided, unless authorized by an Invitation. Selfless and appreciative, obtrusion into politics is the smallest bump in his phrenological development Occasionally one cornea to the front, but he is ultimately settled, like Mr. Hayes, or promptly provided tor, like Father Taft, This peculiar characteristic of Oa'o, however, seems to have been overlooked or forgotten by the romancers of tha publia press, and as a consequence the James G. Blaine of next year, especially in politics, continues an unsettled question. Freighted with nearly an equal proportion of distress to the common mind, because of its uncertainty, U the future of Mr. Conkling. This year, for the first time in his life, he refrained from licking the Democrats, and in a burst o gratitude the party will perhape find the impulse to reward him with the highest honor within its gift difficult to restrain. Of all the people ia the world the Democrats are the most forgiving, and to forget that Mr. Coakllng, while a publicist of admirable Integrity, a long life Las shown to be coining more than a. Republican boss,

would be like them. Mr. Oonkling was retained as an attorney to guard Democratic interests in the recent count, 'and should

be liberally paid. Mr. Hayes awarded his attorney with a Cabinet position an example of liberality in the distribution of office that Democrats can not seriously feel called upon to emulate. This statesman has not started out conspicuously on any of the great questions, and ene of the most memo rable events of his life was the attempt to nominate Grant for a third term. This was certainly an absolute menace to the Republic, and the mildew of everlasting infamy will settle on the American party wh3se action can be construed into an indorsement of Mr. Conkling'a course in Chicago in 1S8-". While the picture of George Washington hangs reverently in so many homes, his retirement from public life can not reasonably be attributed to an accident. More than his quarrel with Garfield concerning the distribution of patronage, an appeal to the people wherein he lost, is his present condition the result of a crime that will be known in history as the third term attempt, and the Democratic party could ill afTord to disturb the law of eternal justice by calling him from the refreshment of a lucrative law practice to the labor of public duty. THE APPETITES OF SOME OF THE " GREAT." It ia quite an interesting study when one has nothing better to do to observe the pecu liarities of those whom the world calls "great," especially in the matter of eating and appetite. A writer in the Washington Republic, it seems, has been hunting up some data on this point, and we will give to our readers something of his research. From a a reliable source it is discovered that Henry Clay ate largely, his favorite fcod being broiled oysters and baked pumpkins, with buttered watermelon for dessert. Calhoun was a gourmand, and his favorite disk was an entire oppossum with baked sweet pot a toes and raccoon gravy; that was his dinner. His breakfast usually coracakes, chicken and coffee. Benton always preceded his rueala with a large drkak of whisky, and his suprernest delicacy was fried bacon and molares. President Harrison's endöen death is attributed to overeating. lie bad a genuine hoosier taste, his leading meal of the day generally con aisting of cabbage, pickled pork, roast pork. peas, cucumbers, eweet potatoes and corn meal fritters. According to a correspondent of a Baltimore paper, it was after one of theee dinners tbat Daniel Webster said to hin: " Ilarrisou, if theee cfiice-seekers don't kill yen each dinners will." And he was about correct, for in a few days Harri son was dead. JeCersoa Davis is reputed to have always been one of the smallest eaters in the world. His breakfast ccn&ists of about a half a cop of b:-a and a elice of toast; a little soup and few moüthfalao' meat and a glass of wine for dinner have been his average for nearly fifty years, yet fc? has always been in perfect, active health. President Johnson, who, by the way, was not as heavy a drinker as is generally supposed, was in possession of a very healthy appetite, and drank a great deal of water and of milk at meals. His manner at table was very much below the proper stvle of eti quette, and caused considerable comment. General Grant is very fond of a fine menu, and always does justice to the occasion. He does not drin any strong liquors at all now, but during his administration whenever he drank the liquor was brandy; he Bays he never drank whisky. Conkling'a grastest weakness in the sustenance line is softboiled eggs, and he is more interested in the exact manner in which they are boiled and in their precise age than he would be in a political contest of national moment When Garfield was President, Conk ling and Arthur roomed at the same house, on Fourteenth Btreet above G, and took their meals at John Chamberlin's. The young man wbo waited on their table said tnat the only difficulty he had to overcome was Senator Coupling's exceeding fastidiousoe&s about his egza; he talked as if he wanted the waiter to watch the hen lay the tgZ then soft-boil and serve it to him. Congress man Celford, of Colorado, was the most enormous eater in the last House. He ate four large meals and three fairly extensive luncheons every day, and then always com plained that he regretted the ceccssity of limiting himself. THE OHIO -'lUlSE." The Ohio "idee," as created and gradually developed by the Republicans of that State, is a curious and Interesting study. Victor Hugo, in his more youthful days, might have weeved a soul stirring romanc from tho incidents of its progress, while Darwin and ncrbert Spencer would doubUew have gathered strength and ammunition to encourage them in their crude and undeveloped theories regarding the evolution and progress of humanity upon this great world of ours. A man who deals in Leer in Ohio, according to the new ''idee," has no rights that a certain .class of Republicans are bound to respect. At first. In the smaller towns, they would wait on him in a quiet sort o! way, and ask him to eell out and quit. Thy were prepared to boy and pay him cash for his wares. If this would not work, they would go in crowds and try and sing him out. Then, as a final persuasive (?) agent which never failed, a scoundrel was hunted np at dead of night who would set fire to his place and burn him out. This worked pretty well tor a time. The "idee," however, needed development, and later en we find the obnoxious doaler driven and blown from his home by kegs of gunpowder placed in cellars and touched off with matches at the dead hour of midnight. In or near Oberlin a year or two ago, we remember a keg of powder was thus utilized, and an entire family, after retiring to bed In the second story of their dwelling, found themselves ahortly afterward amid crashing timber and other debris in their cellar somewhat bruised and maimed, but happily with their livps spared to them. Thus we observe tbe progress of the "Ohio idee." It rested quietly after the Oberlin outrage until a day or two ago. We now record a marked and well-emphasized step in the progress of "the idee." From annoying a man with trifll jg word or song, "the idee" has finally buret forth in full panoplied murder. Read the story. Biadensbur? is a town ol 1,000 inhabitants, situated in Knox County, Ohio. In February, John Chapin raoved to the town from Mount Vernon with h!a family, and went into tha liquor, business, On last Sunday morning,

before daybreak, a mob, with ares, picks and shovels, appeared before his place of business, and made a farioas assault upon tbe ealoon and Ohapin's residence. Chapin

refused them admittance, and they pelted bis house with stones, one of which, passing through a window, struck Chapin on the head, fracturing his fikull, and throwing him to the fbor. The mob then forced its way through the rear of tbe house into the saloon, opened the frontdoors and proceeded to completely destroy with axes ths fixtures and furniture of the place. They then took the stock of liquors and piled them Into the street. B Irrels of whisky were then rolled from the cellar and the whole stock was made a hue bonfire in the center of the highway. In the meantime Chapin was found to be fatally injured, and some of the meb were dispatched ta Mount Vernon for medio I aid. Two physicians arrived early Monday morning, but were too late. Chapin having breathed his last. He leaves a wife and several children. There is intense excitement throughout Knox County over toe outrage, and a band of Mount Vernon roughs swear they will avenge Chapin's death. More trouble is feared. Thus the Ohio "idee" blooms and blossoms into fruit. If anything more lawless than this Bladensburg outrage has occurred in the Carolinas or anywhere else on the earth within a recent date it has not come to our knowledge. CTCIREXT OTIj AMD GOSSir. Tbk spade that was used to turn the first sod in the construction of the Central PaciGo Railway is now owned by Albert Gallatin, of Sacramento, CaL, and it will be exhibited at New Orleans. A riKcz of sponge cake made by a Vassar girl has been presented to President-elect Cleveland. K is said that Mr. Cleveland prizes it highly, and will use it as a paper weight when he goes to the White House. It would take 109,000 ships of 1,000 tons each to carry the freights transported by the railroads of the United Stato3 in one year alone. With all the talk of the English carrying trade, that natiou has but 30,000 ships, with an avenge tonnage of SH tons each. Fifty tkoi e.Nr woodchucks have been killed in New Uaupshiro during the present year, on which the State pays a bounty of ten cents each, making a ictal for woodchnck killing of S'J.OOO. Reckenmg each woodchnck to weigh five pounds, the total weight of the r0,0CO will aggregate 112 tons. Ix an Insane Asylum in Ne York 9tt is confined a youDg lady of twenty four, who In her own right is wjrlh HO'AOOO or 5,0C0,00O, and whose patronymic is a synonym of wealth and social position. So violent is tbe form cf Lar malidy that her hands are cor.tic-nlly covered with padded gloves, lest in one of her spells she should tear her eyes out, as she has frequently endeavored to do. Fur days at a time she is strapped to tho bed in which she is lyin?, or io the chair in which she fancies to eii. A cvBioce forgery of a lottery ticket was recently accomplished in Yucatan. Rasendo Otero, a Cuban tailor of Merida, was favored by the blind goddess fortune with a half share in the capital premium of the railroad lottery. A sporting man learned the fact, and, tnakicg a fac simile of the other half of the ticket, took it to Otero, and on the strength of the ticket bought several thousand dollars' worth of goods and took the balance in cash. After the gambler left Otero, supposing the ticket all right, had it cashed, and was arretted and imprisoned. The real criminal was afterward overhauled, and Otero returned in liberty to his shears and chalk. Tni world has three great constitutional documents, the Declaration of Independence, the declaration of rights of 1GS$, and Magna Charta of King John. Tbe original of the first named is preserved in the Independence Hall in Philadelphia and is familiar to most Americans. The bill or declaration of rights that foRowed the revolution of 16S4 ia preserved in the Somerset House, London. It is written in a small, bat plain hand, in English, and covers a parchment twelve Inches wide and nearly thirty feet long. Such was the form in which, in those days, the records of the House of Lords were kept. The original of the great Magna( Charta of King John has had a varied history, having been many times moved, and barely escaping destruction in the great fire of lGO;. It is written on very heavy parchment, in sizs Ö0ii2 inches, and surrounded by the seals of the eighteen barons who forced the Plantagenet King to execute the document on the plains of Rannymede cn that June day (WD years ao. The text is in old IJktln, the exact translation of vihich has given rise to a great deal of learned conteversy. At the bottom right hand corner ia the signature of the King in a bold hand, and through it runs a leather thon; which anstaics the eeai a black and white quartz rock tbe ai.e of a walnut or thereabouts., Tbe intercEtins old document ia now preserved in one of the mammoth safes In th RiitiBh Museum, and ia shown to vlsiU-rs on 'y upon an order from the Lard Chamberlain. orKs rsoai aMB.

Udeä the leadership of Victor Hugo, It la proposed to erect a monument in France to the memory of Gustav Flaubert, but eeveral weekj of labor have secured only 8,000 francs for the purpose. Theatrical aid will probably be called in to add to the fund. Is Paris is being established a fund to provide pensions for physlcsans when they reach the age of sixty.

In a pocket was found a note which read 4 follows: "My

I am committing suicide for personal motives" Tna paper bottles now made in Paris ate built up oat of sheets of paper eom6what after the fashion of rockat cases, but the cementing material is a mixture of bloodalbumen, lime and alum. Neither water, wine nor aloohol has any action on such bottles, and it is expected that they will prove of great value to travelers, as there is but little fear of breakage. Two Frenchmen, the brothers Forre, havs invented a new kind of harp, made entirely of wood. Instead of strings the inventors use strips made of American fir. The sound is produced, as in the ordinary harp, by tha contact of tbe fingers, but the player wears leather gloves covered with resin. The tone of tbe instrument is said Ly La Meneetrat to be of remarkable purity. Aar electric ray (Torpedo vulgaris) was caught recently at Porthieven, CornwalL It weighed fifty-five pounds, was three feet and a half long, and bad a caudal fin ten inches across. Shocks quits as strong as desiral were obtained, and an electric bell was sounded, but not for long. According to

the account given the topedo had two fish in its mouth, a bass two feet long and a conger two and a half feet long, a fact if it is a fact which serves to support the view that the electric ray U3es it; powers to paralyr.8 its prey. A tepious examination into tha causoa of the bad odor of the drinking water in the the city of Manchester, England, led to the discovery of an unusually large quantity of Limna?a or pond snails. The little animals hadepawned so profusely as to make the water very disagreeable to drink. The city taxpayers are now delighted to know that new water-works are not neces-sary, and that all they have to do is to supply the reser yoin with a few good-sized fl&h, who will enjoy pond snail spawn as a diet. An umbrell loan society has been organ ized in Berlin. OHicrS will- soon be opened in various parts of the city, where raprabers of the society, "for a moderate deposit and a trifling fee," may procure an umbrella at any time.
