bloom in oton. INDIANA. The trouble with Emperor William's methods is that they are too tonic The "pull" as an agency in political affairs is about to be permanently abandoned. The emperor himself win admit that old Bismarck has once more become a bigger man than young William. Perhaps the chance to get a standing shot at a Chinaman was too great a temptation for that young man of Japan to resist. The Delaware legislature also has a bill for the taxation of bachelors. It would serve that state better to tax all who engage in long senatorial contests. Prince Bismarck's tribute to the first and third German emperors distinctly emphasized his silence as to the second. And yet, in intellect and character, 'Unser Fritz" was easily the greatest of them all. In making war on window and 1)111 board tickets the theatrical managers should go further and abolish lithocrraphs and the huge and glaring posters. The newspaper advertisement is the only reliable one. Before the law visits its rigors upon the foreigners who violate the naturalization laws in ignorance, why not get after the ineffable rascals who try to get those foreigners falsely naturalized for partisan purposes? If the enthusiastic celebrations of Bismarck's birthday count for anything as signs of popular feeling some c the Telchstag members who voted to snub the ex-chancellor will presentiy be look:Ing for employment in other fields. The offer in New Tork of a prize for . an epic poem has brought out over a thousand lengthy contributions. Jt a . single memorable line can be found ia -the whole of them the competition Is a . good thing, but the chances ara J00 to 1 against itThe reason the train robbers In the Kentucky mountains were subjected to the unusual experience of being killed - or dispersed was that they had let the officers of the railway company know in advance of the intended attack. Train robbers are not usually so convSiderate. , 'Oscar Wilde is said to be growing fat and untidy as the years roll by. His large physique is unimpressive, if not ungainly, and he pays no attention te the niceties of attire. The allegation is even made that his trousers do not fit him and bag at the knees, while hia beringed fingers and his use of feminine-like, lace-bordered handkerchiefs suggest affectation. Consul Tingle, at Brunswick, Germany, suggests to Americans that they might do well to export meat to Germany, as it is very generally used in many of the smaller cities and towns, and commands good prices. But the advice will not be followed. Horses are cheaper than cattle, but Americans have too much respect for the horse to ever regard him as a food product. The horse stands next to man in this country. Cnder the direction of its new pub3pher, Col. Charles E. Hasbrook. the Boston Traveler gives constant signs of progress and improvement. We knew that CoL Hasbrook would infuse new life into the staunch old journal, and the change for the better began just as an "1" was dropped out of the venerable Traveller's name. No traveler can keep up with the procession when hampered with more labials than Noah Webster (of blessed memory!) allows. Ex-Mayor Hugh Grant of New Tork takes exceptions to the newspaper reports that couple his name with those of different ladies in a matrimonial alliance. He says that it is not legitimate newspaper enterprise, and he is right. The newspapers have no right to couple the name of any young lady with that of Mr. Grant or any other man as engaged to be married without the permission of both the people most concerned. It is not news, but idle and perhaps malicious gossip. General Booth has repaid some of the tiospitality shown him in the United ' States by paying us several handsome compliments since he returned to England. One statement of his that must have sounded odd in the land of the established church was that Americans are a more religious people than the British, and that there is more churchgoing here than in England. What surprised General Booth more than anything else during his American tour was the audience of twenty-five thousand that greeted him at one of his -meetings. Chauncey M. Depew is reputed for his eloquence, but only a casual glance at his speeches and orations (as published) 'is required to assure one that Mr. Depew is careless in his use of English. Recently this gentleman addressed the graduate.! of the University of Chicago, and in the course of his address he said : "There is nothing so conservative as the college." What he meant to say was: "There i3 nothing else so conservative as ;he college." The omission of this necessary monosyllable constitutes that carelessness which is frequently met with in the discourses of the ignorant or the careless, but which should cerainly not occur in an address prepared for an audience composed of students and scholars. If we cannot see ourselves as others see us, the phonograph gives us a chance to hear ourselves as others hear us. Bishop Brooks said once he had one in his study for some weeks, and it was "lots of fun." He had learned things about himself which no one had ever taught him. Rabbi Schindler of Boston, is evidently well up in the new criticism? The other day, when a lady asked him about Jonah and the whale, he said: "I don't know anything about Jonah, and I 3on't know anything about the whale. It's all the same as 'Trilby.' It's a aovel,"

THIESTED FOE BLOOD.

THIS MAN THE GREATEST OF ALL MURDERERS. A Brigand Who Killed a Man Every Year He Lived Horrible Tortures of the lieu Cook of Northern Africa. The most ferocious and successful brigand and assassin that the modern world has known has just been arrested in his career of robbery, murder and abduction in the rocky defiles of the mountain country adjacent on the north to the great African desert. This country is called Kabyles, and its inhabitants are Berbers, an untamable and bloodthirsty race, descended from aboriginal Africans and claiming descent from Ham, the son of Noah. Areski-el-Bachir (the butcher) i3 a worthy descendant of such a stock. He is now forty-five years of age, and by his own confession has, in obedience to a vow, for he is a most pious Mussulman, slain a man for every year of his life. How many more he has dis posed of in the way of business he declines to state. He is about five feet ten inches in height, well made and sinewy. His fingers are long and tapering and have a marked resemblance to the talons of a bird of prey. His feet are arched and small, his forehead high but retreating, and thickly seamed with wrinkles. His eyes are piercing when aroused, but at rest are veiled and somnolent, like those of most Orientals. In fact, his countenance has many characteristics of the wild creatures of the rocks and woods. In ancient times the land of Egypt was subject to invasion and conquest by these fierce and relentless mountaineers, and mural paintings, monuments and pictured papyri have preserved the forbidding and fierce figures of these dark-skinned robbers. Their original names of "Maysgi," or "Madgi," or "Mahzy" were handed down in their legends as demons and evil Jins under the name of "Mazikeon," and were used by mothers to frighten naughty children. The robberies of this modern Barabas recall the exploits of Robin Hood and Fra Diavolo, save that they are unrelieved by the tinge of chivalry that lent a fictitious but pleasing glow of romance to the deeds of those dwellers "under the greenwood tree." Areski is a prosaic villain, but none the less a master villain, to whom such rose water ruffians as Claude Duval, Robin Hood or Fra Diavolo must yield the palm. They nevir marked their birthdays by human sacrifices. At the head of a band of twenty-five robbers Areski has terrorized all Kabyles, and set at defiance the forces sent against them by the French Colonial government. His men are as murderous as himself. All but one are in the vigor of life; they are from twenty to forty years of age, and extremely secretive. Wrapped in their burnous, a flowing robe, silent and immovable they await their prey. They have slain, robbed and cheated, but, strange to say, only their own compatriots, for there is no record of any white man having been molested by them, and for this reason they look upon the interference of strangers as uncalled for and unfair. Areski has been many times caught, and even sentenced, but until now has contrived to escape by the aid of false witnesses. Unfortunately for him he committed the gave error of murdering a man "with a pull." His last victim, an Arab sheikh, Abdul-Reschid by name, held friendly relations with the French governor-general of Algeria. While carrying the tribute of several native villiges to Algeria, he was captured, robbed of the money and put to death with horrible torture. He was beaten with rods of the thorny hibiscus common to the country, his hands and feet were cut off, his tongue torn out by the roots, and, to finish all, his eyes were put out and he was stabbed to death with a hundred wounds. The Colonial government at once sent an overwhelming force of native police and French military to capture El Bachir and his band. The strange discovery was made among the effects in Areski's camp of a well-thumbed copy of the Koran, richly carved and gilt rosary, each as is used by dervishes, was also taken from the bosom of his dress, so that it does not appear that this tiger of the desert did not consider that his Hfe of murder and robbery in any wise endangered his passage of the bridge "Al Sirat," finer than a hair, over which the true believer of Islam must walk bare-footed to Paradise, or, falling from which, by reason of the weight of his sins against the faith, must drop headlong into the embrace of hell. Notwithstanding his crimes Areski found favor and assistance with the very people among whom he murdered and robbed. This was owing to his undaunted bravery and the report that his body was impervious to ordinary weapons, and that his life could be only taken by means of a silver bullet consecrated with mysterious ceremonies to "Azrael," the angel of death, and to "Eblis," the monarch of hell. A few years ago Areski was a porter on the quays of Algiers. Having committed a robbery upon a fellow workman he fled to his native village, where he assembled a band of villains over whom he established complete mastery. One day three of his band gave into his hands a sum of 700 francs which they had stolen from a traveller. The next day, learning that the traveller was a venerable marabout of Soummam, he hastened to restore the stolen money and slew the principal robber. From that time forth the name of Areski was respected by the most influential marabouts, and the wise men of the country declared that he was tmdor the special protection of the

Prophet. One clay, at a family fete, Areski assembled at Bou-Hini, his native village, all the natives of the country. More than a thousand guests wero present at a festival where the NautchWallahs, or dancing girls, displayed their most fascinating graces and gathered more than two thousand francs from the spectators, which they dutifully handed over to the baud it chief. It was owing to tbe exes'ws committed on this occasion that he and his band were captured at the mo?ncnt they were about to escape. Being tried and condemned to death, the robber-assassin and his band displayed the brutish resignation that distinguishes the Berber at his last gasp. The faith of Islam inculcates the belief that every man's "kismet," or destiny, is written upon his forehead by the finger of Allah, and that no efforts of his can change it. Consequently, when his time comes the Musselman wraps his head in his mantle and awaits death imperturbably, murmuring "Allah-il-Allah, Muhammad resoul Allah," which he believes to be the shibboleth or password which will admit him into the gates of Paradise. Thus during his trial, when the President of the Assizes put the usual questions, Areski replied, "The dead speak not." And from that moment till the fatal sentence was pronounced, like Iago, "he never more spoke word."

MANY AUTOGRAPHS OF NOTE Rich Collection tho I'ropcrty of tho Historical Society of Chicago. Documents, in many instances centuries old, have just been brought to Chicago by Edward G. Mason, president of the Chicago Historical society, who purchased them in the east. In the collection are letters and other papers bearing the signatures of Marguerite of Valois, mother of King Henry of Navarre, the fourth V.'.rz f France; Cardinal .tlit-u to the Duke de L,ongville; Louis Jolliet, as he spells it himself, dated April 14, 1GS0, and attached to a contract of sale for property in Quebec. Other signatures are those of Claire Brissot, Jolliet's wife; Jacques de Laborde, Sicur Gazaz, Senchal, Sieur Claude Saincter, the notary Duquet and Marandeau, the first city clerk. A fac-simile copy of Father Marquette's plan of discovery goes with the document, says the Chicago Post. There are photographs of Ferdinand and Isabella in the collection; of Amerigo Vespucci, his son and his uncle: of Canadian governors at the time Illinois was under their dominion; of Francis I. of France, date 1542; Louis XIII. of France; Henry IV. and his father, mother and wife; Louis XIV., date 1649; also many other French signatures of the period. There is also a letter from Sir John Johnston, commander of the Crown Point expedition, dated 1786; of James Stevenson, English commander at Detroit, 1770; of the Marquis de la Roche, one of the only three known to exist; Edme Nicholas Robert, intendant of New France, 1724; Giles Hocquart, who was intendent in 1729; Earl of Sheldon, prime minister of Great Britain; Sir Guy Carleton, 1769; Gen. Wolfe, the hero of Quebec, and many others. Nearly all this valuable collection came from that of Gerald Hart, the famous collector, who was forced to part with the proceeds of the labor of a greater part of a lifetime. With that already in the possession of the historical society it forms an accumulation of value and interest. A Green Old Ago. "A green old age" is a phrase aften grossly abused. It is a literal traslation of Virgil's description of Charon, the ferryman . of the" nether regions. The poet spoke of him as "Jam senior; sed cruda deo viridisque senectus" (somewhat aged; but his godship's old age was still fresh and green). This we might say of a hale sexagenarian; but to talk, as we do, of the green old age of a nonagenarian, however hale, is sheer nonsense. Macmillan's Magazine. Wholesale Fainting in Church. An extraordinary incident occurred at the Parish Church at Hucclecote, near Gloucester, on Sunday morning. When the Litany was reached a girl screamed and fainted, and the commotion had hardly subsided when her sister fainted. Several ladies followed suit, one by one, all being more or less affected by giddiness, and had to be assisted to the open air. The church was heated by coke stoves, the fumes of which were responsible for the occurrence. The service came to an abrupt termination. Lancashire Daily Post. CHIPS AND SHAVINGS. Gloucestershire, England, has an oak over 800 years old. Rice is the food product of the world that is most generally and extensively used. It is estimated that gold in circulation wears out on an average in 240 years. It takes an expenditure of nearly $20,000 to carry a vessel like the Majestic across the Atlantic. A Stradlvarius, formerly belonging to Ernst, but now owned by Lady Halle, is said to be worth $10,000. The Philadelphia postoffice will start postal cars on two (Fourth and Eighth streets) of the city's trolley lines. The first Bible printed in the point alphabet for the blind has been issued in Louisville. It contains 1,839 pages. The Maine state senate has unanimously adopted a resolution to make Lincoln's birthday a holiday in the state. W. E. Foster, the editor of the Buffalo Commercial, has just celebrated the twenty-fifth aniversary of his connection with the paper. Pure titanium has been obtained by M. Moissan by means of the electric furnace. It is an extremely hard metal capable of scratching diamond, but is soluble in lead, copper and iron. It is the most refractory metal with which M. Moissan has yet dealt. Tlie town of Hanson, Mass., has put up lots of tramps the last few months, but hopes to put up a smaller number in the months to come. The tramps that do apply will bo given a supper, lodging and breakfast, but at 7 o'clock the next morning will be put at work breaking stone and kept at work until 11 o'clock. Any trimp who is able to work and refuses to perform the task will be put before the court for vagrancy.

SHE WAS PLAIN "LIL" THEN.

! An Illinois Farmer Who Knew Nine Nordlea In Hor Girlhood. An old fellow of Quiney, 111., E. K. Sweet, who went to Chicago the other clay to hoar Mine. Nordica, thus spoke of her after the performance: "We never thought she was any great shakos when she was a kid. She was plain J,il Nori ton then, and hor father's place adjoined our'n down at Farmington, Me. I was something of a warbler myself, and the Norton? and our folks used to get around our old molodeon on Sunday afternoon and make her ssizz. Lillio was quite fj. little girl then, and we didn't think she could twitter as well as the , rest of us, but she got the big head : when she was 16 or 17 and went away . to New York or Paris I ferglt which." The old man paused thoughtfully and ; then added: "But, gee whiz, she's got on, ain't she? When we heard of her I she was away up in G, and the mocking birds and nightingales wasn't in it with j her. And to think that once on a time ! she was nothing but plain Lil Norton!" Indestructible I'aper. Paper indestructible by fire has been Invented by M. Meyer of Paris. A specimen of it, which was subjected to a severe test one hundred and fortyeight hours in a potter's furnace came out with its glaze almost perfect. Fond of Moving. Amos Markham, of Memphis, Tenn., is fond of moving. Since his marriage in 1860 he has moved fifteen times. His twelve children were born in twelve different states. SAN DIEGO COUNTY Offers Greater Inducements to Settlers, on Account of Climate. Soil and Prices, Than Any Other Portion of Southern California The Climate Is Unsurpassed. The shores of the Mediterranean Sea arc hot in summer,and damp in winter'. Florida has a few months of genial winter weather, but liable to extreme changes even snow and ice; and in summer it is unendurable; but here the weather for the whole year is like June-pleasant, sunshiny days and cool nights, with just enough rain in winter for agricultural purposes. The soil varies to such an extent that almost every known crop can be raised. Fruits of all zones: vegetables of every variety, and grain of all kinds. Stcck can be pastured the year round, unprotected. A farmer can do more here on 40 acres than with 160 in the eastern states. At this time prices are very low.but if the present large immigration continues, they will soon double. The fine harbor at San Diego affords unexcelled water transportation to all parts of the globe, and upon the completion of the Nicaraguan canal the bill for which has passed the U. S. Senate, and a poll of the bouse shows a majority of the members in favor of it San Diego will become the greatest seaport on the Pacific coast. The Southern California Railway (Santa Fc system) affords facilities for trans-continental shipments, and the completion of other railroads to the east, among others, , the San Diego, Pacific & Eastern, which the. railroad men of the United States are building, will give increased facilities, and : competing lines and. lower rates. Local ; lines radiate throughout the county, afi fording easy access and transportation : from and to San Diego. At the presea t prices for wheat and other I farm products in the cast, no farmer can : make both ends meet, and the hardships endured through a long, hard winter, with ; the thermometer ranging from zero to 30 : below, and struggle through a hot, dry ' summer, go unrewarded; whilst the agri- ; culturalist in this genial clime plows in the ' winter, with the thermometer about 00 dej grees, gathers his fruit or grain in the ; spring, summer and fall, with the ther- ! niometer ranging little above this figure.

That Tired Feeling

s a certain indication of impure and impoverished blood. If your blood could always be rich and pure, full of the red corpuscles upon which the vitality depends, you would never be weak, or Nervous ! Roils, pimples, scrofula, salt rheum, would never trouble you. But our mode of living-, shut in all winter in poorly ventilated homes and shops, depletes the blood and there is loss of appetite, and weakness. Hood's Sarsapurilla is the standard remedy for this condition. It purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, overcomes that tired feeling, builds up the nerves and give3 perfect health. Read this : "Our daughter, Blanche, when four years of age, had a humor break out on her hands and face, which our physician pronounced eczema. If the cold air reached her face or bauds they would swell up, look almost purple, and headed blisters would form and break,
