Mrs. Frank Leslie-Wilde is much put out over the way the newspapers are talking about her marriage with Mr. Willie Wilde. Great is the penalty of celebrity! Speaker Crisp has the grip.—LaPorte Herald. There are several prominent democratic politicians in the country who have been convinced of that fact for some little time. The town board of Macy recently reduced the saloon license from $250 to $l5O, and this fact furnishes the text for a scathing editorial from the editor I of the Monitor in which he severely censures the board for their action. Macy has no saloon at present but the Monitor predicts the early establishment of one there. Dog meat is getting to be quite popular in Indiana as food for consumptive people.

ul appears’ has "decided that railroads are liable for injuries to person riding on passes as fully as if they pay their way, and there is no good reason why they should not be. A pass is never issued without a consideration of some kind. —South Bend Sunday News. It is certainly no more than right that a newspaper man or any body else that does about seventy-five dollars worth of work for a twenty dollar pass, as is generally the case, be entitled to the same privileges from railroads that other people are. The world is full of prophets who keep nervous and flighty people on a tip-toe of expectancy and fear by prophecies of dire calamity and destruction. The latest “warning” appeared in a prominent German paper of Chicago, and is to the effect that that city is doomed to destruction in 1893. This article asserts that the soil of Chicago is incapable of carrying the colossal structures of the world's fair and that the city will sink forty feet in consequence. The managers of the world's fair have expressed no intention as yet of changing the location of the exposition. The editor of the Plymouth Democrat disapproves of the use of the word “gubernatorial” and thinks it ought to be expunged from the vocabulary. It is a more elegant word than “monkeying,” the use of which we very much dislike. Now when one says that Congressman Shively is “monkeying” with the - “gubernatorial” ' race horse, it sounds “perfectly awful,” ; both in a grammatical and political sense.—Nappanee Advance. The word “monkeying” is, perhaps, objectionable. But one of the most disgusting words we can think of, and one which is often seen in print, is the word “rotten,” as used in referring to something of inferior merit. Minute particulars are given in the metropolitan papers of how Secretary ■ Blaine’s mastiff “Joe,” on Christmas ' Day, licked A. L. Barbour’s St. Ber- : nard “Daniel,’, for trying to get a bone I away from him. Nearly a half col- ' umn of space is devoted to telling how I all this was done. Now, if the interesting and enterprising metropolitan papers would inform us how many times Mr. Blaine’s cat humped her | back on that day, how sweetly his j canary bird chirped, and how many । birds flew by his window at noon-tide, ; the nation’s happiness would be coml plete. The people are yearning for ! such enlightenment.—South Bend ' Times.

1 . THIS MOUSE WENT ON A SPREE Trying to Stand on Its Head and Do FunBusiness. , We first became acquainted on a ■ rainy night in October. I was sitting . : at my tire when I heard a faint rustlin” lin some paper that I had dropped be” i side my chair, and, glancing down I j saw the bright eyes of a little mouse. ■ I say a little mouse, for this one was ! । so small that it was evidently not fully /grown, and as I soon saw was not j afraid of man. j It sat quietly watching me for a full minute, when quietly extendinc my arm I caught it in my hand. I reached for the plate of cakes at my elbow, | crumbled a morsel, and put it before my tiny captive. It was trembling a little, but presently, reassued, it began to nibble at the cake, pausing every now and then to glance at me with its bright, dark eyes. Then, having further refreshed it bv ( a drop of water proffered on a lar° , e i pen s point, I placed my little prisoner : in a temporory stronghold formed of an ink-stand, a paper weight and a stamp box, from which it sat watching me without the slightest appearance of uneasiness or desire to escape. My loneliness cheered even bv the presence of this scrap of life, 1 resumed my writing, pausing every now and then to speak to, my guest. It I was with real regret that I felt I must ; release the little creature when mv I work was finished, and it had another feast of cake. I heard tiie clock's warning that it grew late. With a parting smooth of its satiny skin with my finger I put it on the floor an 1 watched it steal away under the wainscoting of the room, and saw what had escaped my observation before, that the mouse was lame in one limb. Os course I never expected to see it i again, but on the following night was I glad to see it come creeping back about my feet, when I placed it once i more on my table. T'iiis time, feeling rather ashamed that I had offered it the indignity before, I made no attempt to j

hold it in prison, but allowed it to " wander about the books and papers as ’ it would, which it did in so gentle and unobtrusive away as not to disturb me or the articles with which the table was strewn. My pen seemed to greatly excite its wonder, and as it hurried over the pa- , per, Janie,as 1 named my mouse,would sit close to the sheet watching the letters from beneath the mysterious,swiftly traveling engine. All that winter Janie and I kept each other company every night, two boon companions, who never bored each other with conversation and yet were better for the companionship. We had many a jolly midnight feast together, when Janie sat upon the edge of my plate, accepting such morsels as I proffered her, but never guilty of the rudeness of appropriating even a crumb uninvited. Ou one occasion, however, there occurred a sad mishap. [ My landlady had brought me up a slice j of the dish known as “Tipsy-'Square,” I which, as probably' you are aware, has i sauce made of Yw., _ 5 Presently’ I was alarmed and putzled to see my quiet little friend en- > deavoring to stand on her head. Not I succeeding in this, she tore about the table, pausing every now and then to perform a dance and throw a half somerset. It finally dawned upon me what was the matter, when, I am ashamed to I say, I laughed loud and bwg. This > seemed to attract Janie's attention, for , she stopped short in her frenzy and came creeping to my hand, in which • i she laid herself, and turned her eyes ) piteously, as if to say: “I know Tve t j been unlady-like. O! what is the matter with me?’’ I made her a bed of some jeweler's cotton, and there she slept her intoxi- * cation away. l Poor little Janie! Her fate is unknown to me. One night in early spring I looked for her in vain, and ' I many nights after would glance up ■ up from my writing iV the faintest f | rustle in the room, ouly to find that t the wind was the cause, or the falling of an ember of my lire. She came no • more, and, though I conceived no par- - ticular cause to suspect him, I con--3 ceived an aversion to the household cat, and always looked away whenever r he sat and licked his chops before me. t — dladetphia Times. Thwarted for the First Time. When the Major walked into the office every one in the room knew what he wanted, and one of the men jumped . up and exclaimed: 5 “Major, when are you going to pay (. me that last $5 you borrowed?” “Sir!” said the Major haughtily. ( “I'll let the $2 you got before that drop,” said the man; “but how about the last $5?” “Sir, you insult me!” exclaimed the ’ Major. “Never mind the insult. I need the ’ $5," retorted the other. 1 The Major drew himself up and thrust one hand between the second and third buttons of his shiny Prince ’ Albert coat. t “You’re no gentleman, sir,—no gen--1 tieman!” he said with dignity. “And 3 I want to tell you now, sir, that lam unused to such insults, sir, and I will ’ not stand them. No, sir; not for a minute. Never, sir—never so long as I live will I borrow any more money j of you, sir. That settles that.” Then the Major walked out. He was thwarted for the first time.— ChiJ cago Tribune.

CRUSHED TO DEATH. Horrible Fate of Two of South Bend's Yo ung People. A dispatch from South Bend to the Indianapolis Journal, dated Jan. 1, states: This city was shocked to-day by one of the most sickening accidents which has occurred here for some time, and one wich resulted in the death of two young people, i Edward Spann and Miss Seig. The former was a young man with a large circle of friends, and the young woman was the eldest daughter of Christian Seig, a leading mason and contractor of the city. They were engaged to be married, and the nuptials would prob ably have soon been celebrated. Shortly after the dinner hour Miss Seig went out to the gate, and looking up the street, saw her lover coming toward her home. She went out to meet him and they stopped and began talking as to where the afternoon should be spent. Right back of them and on a line with the sidewalk, was an eight inch brick wall, twenty-two feot high and standling on ground owned by the Birdsell j Manufacturing Company. A strong | wind was blowing, ami the wall, which was said to be out of plumb, toppled and fell forward without any warning, I burying the two young people beneath the great mass of brick and mortar. Miss Seig was killed instantly. Her head laid across the young man’s body, | and was crushed to a shapeless mass. : Her blood and brains covered the brick | a round. Spann’s head was crushed and a number of bones broken, but be lived a short time after being removed i from the debris.
