A TAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Notes and Comment.

"Volapuk" is oue of the popular studies in the Boston evening schools yj It undoubtedly is a good taing to take just before retiring, being conducive to sleep, etc.

Statisticians say Indian wars have eost the country about 9700,000,000 in cash, not to mention the thousands of brave warriors who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country.

There are more ways than one of advertising, and Mr. Cleveland has evidently come to the same opinion as Mr. Depew, that the after dinner speech is as good as any.

It seems probable that Senator Ingalls will be defeated in the race for the United States senate. He no doubt deserves this fate, as would any ambitious man who would conduct politics on such a principle as: "The decalogue and the golden rule have no place in a political •arnpaign."

The mayor of New York has appointed a saloon keeper to the office of police justice, to hold for a term of ton years. His salary is to be |8,000 a year. His honor possibly considers this method the most efficacious for closing the saloons and ridding the business frattrnity of a very undesirable member. It is a royal game of Pigs in Clover."

Intimacy is alleged to breed con tempt, and it is this principle no doubt that Southerners advance in explanation of their hatred of negroes. Yet Henry Stanley went into Darkest Africa, lived with only

colored

races around him for

many months, and still has enough respect for the people so hated in the south to speak of them as black men and not as niggers.

The Indian, according to the statistics in the departments at Washington, is only a fighter but a land holder. ^OUgji he has sold over 18,000,000 acre* offand to the Government recently, ho has still 100,000,000 acres left and has no roason to feel cramped for room. Many a dweller in a little eighteenfoot house in this city would gladly be an Indian, all else being equal.

Chauacey Depew addressing the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said "Labor cannot live without capital to furnish it employment, and capital without labor to enable it to increase and multiply is as nseloss as diamonds on a desert island to a shipwrecked and starving mariner." The theory of your argument is good, Chaunooy, but the practice would be better. Dont you think so?

Seventeen Italians, not one of them a altiaep, are under the Indictment for the murder of the New Orleans chief of police.

The

Yet an

whole south cries out for a

speedly conviction of the guilty ones.

equal number of Americans, all

Southern

citizens, conspire together and

kill a postmastor and their crime is laughed away by thousands who, in the case of the Crescent City police chief, cry out for justice. Consistency, thou art indeed a jewel, rich and rare.

It is difficult to decide which of the two cities, Philadelphia or St. Loui*, is subjected to the greater amount of ridicule. One day Philadelphia seems to have the lead, but on the noxt St. Louis comes up smiling for llrst place. The latest stab comes from the Elgin Every Saturday, and is as follows: "Go-as-you-ploase pedestrian contests are raging in St. Louis. It is predictod that rollor skating will roach there next year, and unless the bridge caves In lawn tennis may bo introduced by IS94."

A.u Exchange says of the growth of Chicago: "The fact that a lady died in Chicago recently whose residence in that place had covered all the period sinco It was a village of but 100 persons, impresses, as sach familiar incidents can with especial foreo,the marvelousgrowth of the country and, In particular, of the city of Chicago. That the life of one person should be enough to cover the growth of population from the place of a mere hamlet to that of the second city of the United States is marvelous."

Census Superintendent Porter, noticing the tendency of the populace to crowd to the cities, says: "The individual often sinks his own will, his own property, his own happiness, present and prospective, In the tenement house of the city, when he might have been an independent man, with a fair competence, had he been content with a rural life." Nevertheless the movement toward the cities goes on unabated. The fascination of city life is too strong to be resisted though it costs happiness, prosperity, everything.

A specialist in brain and nervous diseases is said to have recently proved in the following manner that hypuotlsm is likely to become a 'yore common defense than insanity for the commission as crime. He gave apiece of wood to a roan who had been hypnotized, and, telling him that it was a pistol directed to shoot himself. The man at once put the pistol to his head an* fired, and then fell Into a heap on the floor. He had

every

pearance of a dead man, and was revived with difficulty. If this be true there Is promise of much criminal appli cation of the art as its development is worked out. The progress of hypnotism cannot be too carefully watched.

Preparations for spring building are now the order of the day, and the wise husband and father will look at once to the selection of a site for a new home of his own. Paying rent is a costly way of living, and the man of limited means so situated is indeed unfortunate. But there is away of getting round even limited capital in buying a home, and this will be clearly explained to any man by W. M. Siaugter, the popular and reliable real estate man. He has very desirable lota to sell on most reasonable terms, and also money to loan for building purposes. Look to your interests, parents, and call on him at once before the rash for vacant property begins.

AMUSEMENTS. ^,r?

THE CLKMENCEA17 CASE.

An exchange speaking of

uThe

Cle

men ceau Case," the piece that has achieved such notoriety in the East and which is to be presented at Naylor's Monday evening, says:

Hie feminine form stood out in bold relief

It was the central figure of the much talkedof model scene in the play, where nature with no adornment to speak of, is supposed to furnish points for a Parisian artist's chisel. In Boston the model dressed herself with such noticeable simplicity that th«« authorities felt offended and insisted that she should put on more clothcs or quit, but last night she provided herself better against sudden draughts. The model was a young woman with big blue eyes, blonde hair, and neck and shoulders worthy to be graven in marble byarealscul

fleshings was fitting jersey Long flesh colored draplngs of the finest Chinese silk concealed Doth shoulders and part of the body and limbs from most of the audience made the figure like many of those seen on the stage when young women array themselves particularly for freedom of mofkl

Hon. A pair of white kid boots and a sauoy expression complete the costume. The model was Miss Laura Blggar. who takes the part of Iza, the beautiful daughter of a Russian countess living in Paris. She marriesayoung artist, Pierre Clemenceau but an intriguing mother fixes it so that she gets to flirting with other fellows and is caught. The husband makes a statue with his fair bride for a model, which one of the other fellows is waiting to buy at a fabulous sum as soon as finished. Miss Biggar sustained her part with skill throughout the play, and Mr. Charles B. Welles, as Pierre Clemenceau, showed considerable tragic power. So great was the crowd to see the performance that people were turned away, and Monsieur and Madame Clemenceau were repeatedly called before the curtain.
