The enemies of Governor Hill are announcing that be is ‘‘t fine swimmer,” bat happily the batbiug season is nearly over.

* You can get almost any kind of dispatch yon desire about the Chilian war, if vou take the pains to sit down and write it._ A woman has been discoveaed in this State who has no power of movement except of her jaws. There are Jots of them who make all others subordinate to this. _ . While model house-wivos have ttaea putting op all the froit they can this summer, some of their strongminded sisters have been danciug the political can-cau to disgusted audiences. ,_ ~ Th«x say that Emin Pasha is back at Wadelai—the place from which Stanley rescued him. Fortunately, there is neither champaign nor a baienuy there so that he can drink the former and fall out of the latter. The County Commissioners will this week fix the levy for the next year. This is the first levy under the new law. It will depend on their action to a great extent whether the fSX will be more under the new law than the old. If the rate is placed at the proper limit, taxes need be no more than heretofore. This Lick Observatory, which is now engaged in sensational business, is goiug to run a comet through the Pleiades on the 3d, 4th, or 5th of September. Well, let us hope that it may fiud the “Lost Pleiad.” Meanwhile it is submissively sugested that low-necked astronomy is fully as objectionable as low-neckcd religion, _ There is.this to be said for President Harrison. He can make a genteel llittle speech without saying anything that any one can reasonably find fault with. In other words, to use an old metaphor, he can open bis mouth without putting his foot in it. So, quoting One who was always liberal, we “Render therefor, unto Ctesar the things which are Cesar’s.” Tote delicious fruit having been upon our streets, for the past few weeks, has caused many remarks calculated to be in its favor. What is picer than a good, cool, ripe waterjnelog? When a friend is seeu With a melon, the remark is often heard, ‘<There is a good friend of the doctors’, 10 cents worth of melon and 50 cents worth of quinine.” The fault is not in the melon, if sickness is mtused. It is in the cater, 9 cases out of 10. The eater generally wanta f.5 cents wortli of good out of a 10 peijt melon and consequently eats too far int,o fhe rind. After fasting 40 days, the first thing Dr. Tanner ate Was ft watermelon. If his weak, pwpty stomach could stand it, why ,should not one’s if properly eateu ?

Tiijs figure uiue is curiously and intimately connected with all the great gold mining excitements of the pinetecnlh century. The great Algerian gold huble formed and broke in 1809. Next name the Mantazan mountain craze in 1839, when solid bowlders of gold as large as flour barrels were reported. The California gold fever broke out in lots and raged pntil counteracted by the Pikes Peak boom in 1859. Teu years later, in ]1869, “Old Virgiuny,” the celebrated piiner, struck the lucky lead which padp Virginia City and Nevada famous in tjie mining annals of the World. Eighteen huudred and seven-ty-nine came in on time with the Leadville frenzy and the famous “carbopates” of Lake county, Colorado. Eighteen hundred and eightynine broke the charm, but 1899 may piake up for lost time, there beiug two pines ip that date. ‘ While Anjerica is rejoicing in the hope of the greatest grain crop on yecord, Europe is on the verge of a famine. The Boston Glol>e says that within a few mouths Europe will be literally crying far bread. In France therd is not ljkely to bp over seventy . per cent of the average yield. Qerjnany will bp short some ^6,000,000 bushels of w heat and 75,000,OCX) bushpis of rre.

w.c. T:u: BRAD. A bead, as Webster i prayer, aud beads were originally used to mark the number of prayers a person offered, and thus obtained their name. Tbe bead on a glass ef liquor is so (Called because tbe bubbles are shaped like a bead. The test of good liquor is its bead, and a glass of liquor has therefore a prayer accompanying it; and what a prayer!—a prayer that Htett may become brutes—that women may be robbed of comfort and purity, and that children may suffer from cold, and for want of care. When used in this connection the word should be spelled preyer instead of prayer, like a beast of prey lull of hbnger and fierceness: An appetite for liquor will range everywhere, and kill aud mangle without pity, and regardless of results. Who or what shall find it?

NOTES. • "The biggest thing on earth is a man, and a man in this superlative senge is a correct compound of bra wu, brains and bravery, with push, piety, and perserverance.” *** "The Irish people have one public bouse foe,every thirty-six of the population.” No wonder there is poverty aud suffering and a growing spirit of unrest and dissipation.. We prescribe a dose of prohibition administered at once. *** There are 17,499 juvenile temperance organisations iu Great Britian, with a total membership of 2,112,079. *** The Nation says that of six hundred leading railroads in this country three huudred and seveuty-flve forbid their employees using rum or liquor; and that the Brother of Locomotive Engineers requires the same prohibition ot its members. *** Along this line much may be done by corporations, employers aud societies to advance temperance. *** Statistics carefully gathered show that life iusurance companies can carry riskg on total abstainers tweuty per cent, less thau on moderate drinkers. _ The time is no doubt coming when all first-class insurance companies and mutual beuefit societies will insure none but strictly temperate men. The fact is, that the user of intoxicants is a heavy risk in all the relation of life. ** Drunken ness decreases nearly three per cent, per annum in Londou. If we had such a law would our prison and jail accommodations be sufficient ? *** It is asserted that there are one hundred and sixty obtaining members of Parliament in the House of Commons. *** The labor unions formed of workers iu glass impose heavy fines on all members who carry liquor into the manufactories, while the penalty for drunkeness is dismission. *** Liquor papers are naturally highly disgusted and indignant over the recent amendments to the Maine prohibitory law. In a burst of righteous (?} wrath, one of them says: “Proscription and outlawry are about the only inflictions that remain to be put upon the dealers,” and adds, “When will the Maine legislature -learn a little horse-sense “and adopt the license law ?” This is a cruel l|bel on horses, the poor defendless creatures! »% "Non-intoxicating wine” was usod at the coramunlou service held at the City Temple, London, iu connection with the meetings of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. This is a significant indication of the progress of temperance ideas among I our British friends.

* * Iowa and Georgia have laws depriving physicians who are habitual drunkards of their license to practice medicine. *% The retail liquor dealers of Indiana met recently and orgauized a State association to protect the interests of their business. *** Law is a rule established for tho purpose of proteoHou aud safety; hence a so-called law establishing or protecting a wrong is contrary to common souse. *** Mrs. Leavitt considers Norway and Sweeden the most hopeful countries she visited for the cause of prohibition and believes they wilt put away tho traffic before we do, as they have less political corruption to work against. Peculiar Names. “People tnlghf select uames for their children with q better discretion if they were acquainted with the very expressive meanings borne by many of tho personal designations in the language,” said a linguist professor to a writer for the Washington SHar. “dome of them have rather fi|nny significations. For example, Julia means 'mossy bearded.' Ursula is a ‘female bear,’ 1‘riseilja ii la little ancient,’ and Cecil is ‘dim-sjg’ued/ Barbara signifies 'foreign,' Abel is ‘vanity,' Bernard is ‘a bear's heart,’ aud Caleb is ‘a dog'. Daniel i* ‘judgment of God,' and Jtaplnai is 'medicine of Ood. Ever so many " very Imaiuiful n .H

»«•/ Susan is ‘a HIv/ Re■faithful/ and Lydia Is ‘a well of water/ What Is prettier than Margaret, which signifies ‘a pearl/or than Amelia for ‘sinoere, or ihau Sophia for ‘wlsdrtin/ or than Katheritte /or ‘pure/ or than Adeline fora ‘princess?* Bertha is ‘bright/ Charlotte is ‘all noble/Cornqjia is‘harmonious/ Caroline is noble spirited/ Uarriet is sweet perfume/ and Jane is a ‘willow., Again Henrietta is properly translated, *a star/ Judith is ‘praising’, Jemima is sweet song.’Jlsabells is‘fair Elisa/ Agatha ia ‘good/ Felicia is ‘happy/ Lucy is constant/ Muriel is ‘myrrh* and even humblesounding Bridget is ‘shining bright/ If these names are good for sisters, sweethearts, wives ami mothers, equally appropriate for fathers sons aud brothers are Nicholas, which means ‘victorious,’ David, for beloved/ Hugh for ‘thought/ Horatio tor ‘worthy/ /sines for ‘superior/Thomas for *af lion/ Philip is warlike/ Robert is ‘famous/ itichard is ‘powerful/ Eustace is ‘firm/ Ralph is ‘help/ Charles is *a man/ Matthew is; •a gift/ Herbert is ‘bright mind/ and Hilary is ‘cheerful.’ William stands for‘helm of the will/ Patrick for ‘a nobleman/ Felix for ‘happy,* Oliver for ‘an olive/ and Isaac for ‘laughter.’ Incidentally to naming children it ia worth while to look out for the initials. I have known two men who were obliged to write ^themselves for short ‘A. S. S., just because of their parents’ carelessness.”

Look Qot For the Dime*. The inventor of those little pocket dime savings-banks no doubt used for advertising purposes the old saw “look out for the dimes and the dollars will look out for themselves,” but he probably had no idea what a wide-spread fed he was inaugurating. Let ns hope the Inventor is reaping a just reward, for the number of people who are practicing it is legion. Some are able to save ouly #1 a week iu this way, but others accumulate |1 a day, and the sum total in any case amounts in a few mouths to a considerable sura. “Nobody misses ten cents,” say the enthusiasts as they put away the coins, and after a bit there is a great pile. This can be deposited In the bank as the basis of still further accumulation, or expended for some prized object loug deferred. Recently a man started- for a two months’trip to Europe with $400 in his pocket, heaped together in twelve months by contributions of a dime at a time; and another one, who for many years has shivered in the cold of January and March, next winter will have a fur overcoat, because h« has enough in the savings bank to buy it with, saved from the ten-cent pieces which be declares he has uot missed during the mouths he has refrained from speuding them. The Democrat does uot advocate miserliness, but thrift is a good thing, aud a little economy here and self-restraint there may mean a tidy bit against a rainy day or for use in some holiday outing. It is a Queer World. Nothing of recent occurrence has so stirred up the indignation of the quidnuncs as the discovery that a Chicago two-year-old baby smokes a pipe with evidept relish. Hands are held up in holy* horror iu every circle of moral mugwumpery at the picture of parental indulgence thus presented. Caricatures have already been made of this latest Chicago monstrosity with a dsideen iu its mouth, aud the few good people who are doing missionary work in that wicked western metropolis cry “shame” and threaten to haul the offending parents up with a judicial round turn. Of course this wave of indignation is not inexcusable, but it strikes The Democrat as simply another evidence of what a queer world we live in, or what queer people live iu the world, if you like that better. Now it that child's parents bad transmitted to it a disease of some other sort, a consuming appetite for whisky to be developed later on, for instance, or au unconquerable tendency tocrime or pauperism, nobody would have concerned himself about the case at all. Verily, the ethics of some wouldbe moralists are wonderfully warped, and mountains aud molehills get sadly mixed.

As True As Gospel. When farmers leave home merchants to trust to the honesty of foreign merchants, thev come out loser every time. We know of men who buy on credit of our merchants when they can’t pay cash, and when they have money they “go in” with a club and send off. It is not right uor honest. If a merchant furnishes you while you are “in tough luck,” it you want to do right you will not be turned against him when you have money to spend. Star with yonr home merchant, and he will remember you when “you can’t get your grain to the market.” This getting something cheaper away from home la all bosh. Some one gets a profit aud generally the one that “gets up the club.” —Huntiegburg New*. Worth Considering. We w ish every farmer In the land could cot the following item out and paste it 'in his bat. The item is taken from the Lincoln, III., Timet, and is oue of the most conclusive arguments in favor of good roads we have ever seen: ’’TheMendota Bulletin mentions a farmer who brought corn to that place and sold It at 68 cents a bushel, who might have received 76 cents had the roads been passablo for loaded wagons. Ilia loss ou 6,000 bushels was 81,350, which the Bulletin pertinently says would go a long way toward constructing a road that pH seasons. Farmers year large auma of roads, bt

Will you excuse me, young men, if I give you a lecture you have long needed, and while doing ii tell you a few things you surrep tuous scamps ought never to hav< indulged, and, so doing, convince you, that, having done these things, you ought never to have been born: I have beeh taking observations, and listening to conversations, anc] remembering. A number of young men will not work. Such as the) ought to be placed on the chair gang and made do a reasonable amount of labor according tc physical ability. One young mar yawned,drawed his big,lazy shoulders about him and said, “I-don’t like-the-sun, and-dont-Iike-to-work on-a-farm-at-at-all.” He was actuality too lazy to get the words out in proper time. I watched that young man (?) and have known him to laze about while his invalid mother did hard work that he

SiUVUlU 1IO IV. |/A1U u UHVVI HWU1UU do. I have seen him lounge about town, spend what money he had, get tired and hungry and go to his grandmother and aunts and loaf about the fires they made, eat the food they cooked and had not enough respect to ask about the health of one of them who was a delicate invalid. I have seen other young men, who dressed fine, smoked fine cigars, and what time they were not at the gambling (thief's) -table they spent in bawdy houses, saloons, occasionally in the parlor’s of inocent respectable people. Let me tell you the road all the way from the church and school to the very gates of hell are almost one-fourth full of just such characters as these. It is never too late to reform, but they seldom do. They are the goats, (the black goats at that), among God’s great heard of white sheep from which they will finally be separated and put on the left where the darkness will only be increased by their black deeds. Have I over drawn this? No! The young man who will let his mother, sisters, or his relatives,however distant, wprk for his comfort and support, while he does little else than burden them, ought to be tied to the dragon’s tail and drawn prostrate through purgatory until hell opens its already gapping jaws for his unholy ultimatum. There! take that, you lazy, spongy, cruel cur! Had there been no such galoots as you, the devil would have little use for existance! Is this enough truth, vagabond? Are you angry, if so, dare enter my sanctum and I’ll take this cake of Viehe’s soap, ram it down your throat, and test whether it has a cleansing effect on your character as well as your bowels! Keep the peace, and next time I will tell you about the nice young men—such as might get my hand when I g^t this cake of soap out of it. Now, clear out! and one week from to-night return to this place and you will find me on this rostrum telling you about the precious, good young men. Ta, ta! Lazarus! Fip and Thistles. Faith never wears a lung face. God puts our greatest duties nearest to us. Head love looks at everything through money. God never fails to promote the faithful worker. Never look back when God says forward, march. Human strength alone can never do God’s work. It takes great trials to keep some people faithful. A poor man has as mtich right to his own as a king. It is as wicked not to do right as it is to do wrong. No man can please God without making the devil mad. Every step toward heaven is a test of courage aud love. Self-deception is oue of the most deadly of all dangers. The flax has to be broken before its strength can be known. False worship will kill the soul as quick as no worship. When difficulties are overcom they become blessiugs. If you undertake to drag the cross you will find it very heavy. The Connecticut rooster that has been taught to siug the doxology ought to be a high-priced bird just after the fall elections.

The only Protection that will effect* trolly protect all people, all classes, all labor and all interests is that styled Self Protection ! acquired only from a truthful knowledge of ways and means, legal and illegal, just and unjust, by which the burdens of government, profits of labor and industry, are so unequally divided. That knowledge is power, and ignor ance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of life, among all people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such methods those from whom the wealth is taken; hence it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the United States, less than ten are absolutely free and independent of the power or control of some clam, party or monopoly whose interest it is to keep the great mass of people in ignorance of their methods. The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is one of the few, if not tne only one absolutely free from such influence!. It is the most- honest, thorough, able teacher and exponent of truthful knowledge, of reliable data, free from partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit toauch degree that one*cannot but feel edified and capable, of forming correct conclusions therefrom.
