So IT has been Instituted at Indianapolis to enjoin the secretary of state and the state printer from publishing in the acta of the late legislature the act apportioning the state for senators and representatives on tine ground of its illegality. After the legislature had adjourned it was discovered that Monroe county was short a senator and Gibson county a representative. When discovered a cleric of the legislature was called in and amended the act by making provisions foir these omissions. In view of this it is declared the act is void and is to be tested.

THRKK is no truth in the sensational report concerning Blaine's loss of mental xtrongth. Indigestion and gout are his ailment* and he is recovering from these.

TIIK legislature of Illinois ha* not yet passed the $1,000,000 appropriation bill for the fair. It should have lead all the other H»ate« in a prompt appropriation. It does not reflect emlit on Illinois.

TIIK democrats of many sections of Ohio have already endorsed Gov. Gamp bell for re-election. It does not look as though the Enquirer with its gang of corrnptionista can defeat his nomination. Campbell has been clean and reformatory in hi# administration, and the democracy will make a great mistake if they Shelve Gov. Campbell.

CITY TRXASUKKK RVUDSI.RY, of Philadelphia, has been arrested for corruption in the matter of taking a money consideration as an Inducement to deposit Che city funds with the defunct Spring Jarden bank and for a dfscrepency in his accounts. He resigned previous to his arrest. The city and state loses large amounts by reason of the bank's failure.

IT is well that the tax payers bear in mind that the so-called metropolitan police authority keeps the police force divided by Its continued attempt to maintain an authority which the decree of tho superior court has denied them, and which renders the policing of the city of little value. The very fact that the so-called metropolitan board offered a Compromise, is evidence that they are aware that the decree left them no standing in law.

TIIK late school enumeration of ludiauapolis shown a shortage in schoolastir population over that of last year, of 14,000. That is, there is a loss of that number of children of ohool age. If this be true it demonstrates that Indianapolis has been drawing $40,000 or more (com the school funds which belonged to the other children of the state. That there has been collusion and fraud, and that somebody has been profiting by the fraud, there can be doubt. The guilty parties should he hunted down and punished.

HOW HORSES ARE TORTURED.

Tho Treatment of nonfat Thorn 0 dl»grace to Civilisation. It is a pity that homes suffer mutely, says Blackwood's Magazine. If they could express their torments by yells as piercing and loud in proportion to theii size, as,

for

example, a wounded hare

utters, we should be enlightened as to the amount of suffering in our London streets. Somo of the hansom cabs which ply there are admirably turned out and driven, but there are still many whoso owners act on the principle of a minimum of corn and a maximum of whipcord. In one of such I was traveling one day the driver plied his whip vigorously about the tenderest part of tho horse's flank and awkwardly allowed the lash to strike me across the face. The pain was acute, and I did not suffer in silence, yet for one indirect cut that I received in that journey the unfortunate quadruped received scores. He rocelved punishment at the rate of about fifty lashes a mile, which, if his average daily task is moderately computed at twelve miles, would give the hideous total of 600 lashes a day.

This incident took place in broad daylight, but cabmen's horses are indeed a pitiful class. Nearly all of those that are assembled nightly in Palace yard when the house of commons is sitting are suffering from navicular disease, eaused by fast work on hard pavements. You may see pho unhappy animals standing with first one forefoot, then the other, pointed forward to relieve the pain, which must resemble toothache on a large scale, for It is caused by tho decay of a bone nearly two inches long in the oonter of the foot Would society endure horses being worked in this oondition if they c^uld signify theii- pangs as plainly as a fine lady with neuralgia?

The barbarity of tight-bearing reins was forcibly exposed and condemned by a writer in Maga of June, 1875, and certainly tho excessive use of them thereafter became less common but It is still too often to be seen. It would not be seen at all if people in general understood the peculiar form of torture produced by It. A pair of fat, wellgroomed, sixteen hand earriage horses standing in the streets are not subjects to attract commiseration from passersby, the restless tossing of their head may be taken for the sign of pride and spirit but what heart-rending groans could alono express what the»6 fine animals havo to endure! Along tho top of a horse's neck runs a massive sinew, strong enough to support the leverage of the head, it is attached to several vertebra nearest thd shoulder, then it runs free over the crest and becomes attached again to the vertebras nearest the poll. When the head is pulled into the position decreed by man's vanity the vertebra under tho crest press hard into tho sinew, and must causa intense suffering, sometimes setting up the Infiammtttion known as poll-eviL

Rewon—FsxUra Hint*.

CORRESPONDent of the London Daily Graphic, stgning herself •'Dress Reformer," sends to tliafc japer the annexed sketch and a letter, from which we quote he following imrograph: 3 "Although I hold tha%onr sex has been tram

meled with and condemned to wear an inconvenient, and often positively unhealthy, form of dress, far too long, I agree with you 'that the divided skirt is not a very satisfactory solution. My own experience is that the result is not worth the trouble and expense. My own most comfortable garment of the bind is a washing silk one, which is liprht and warm. It is made very much nfter the pattern of Zouave knickerbockers. But, alns! its convenience and comfort are much lessened by the long skirt reaching to theanKles, which, except indoors, I am compelied to wear. For my own part. I really honestly prefer a wellfitting, warm combination garment. "I send you a sketch of tho costume

GIRL'S COSTUME, WORK IN SCOTLAND, worn bv my three jrirls, nged respectively 16, 13^ nnd 9, when in the school room and in the country in Scotland, where we..do not see a stranger ia weeks. "To properly reform a woman's dress the skirts must be considerably shortened, It is to the girls of the present day—not the grown women—that we must look for reform. Let girls wear their dresses shorter, and let. them till tboy leave school wear such a costume as "my own girls woar. They will then, possibly, be less anxious to confine their wai«ts in corsetsand their limbs in uselessly long skirts. Uirls really wear knickerbockers as hoys ao, although there is a difference in the material used. If we admit this frankly there may be less difficulty in shortening our dresses*to a convenient and reasonable length, '•The Rational Dress society stlduld turn its attention to the girls in preference to attempting the conversion of grown up women, who from the use of their accustomed attire are averse to change."

A" New Wedding I*re*fiit. A new wedding present has the light in the shop win lows of Gotham. It is "only a pansv blossom/' The flower is of china and is shaped exactly like a pansy, with uprolling leaves. It is placed in a very beautiful cave lined with suede and alongside of it is laid a royal Worcbester chin spoon. This all sounds tumo enough, but- the jrlory and the novelty lie in the case itself.

In imitation of the beautiful jewel baskets given by royalty, the dealers have manufactured in small and select quantities the loveliest casket that the eye hath ever seen. Tho outside is of brass, and on top in hammered workthere is some well-known legend, illustrated by a Hoe and a tea fc. On one recent! bestowed there was a picture of Brunhild being awakened by Siegfried. Brunhild, clad in armor, fay upon a couch surrounded by a wall of flame. Siegfried, sword in hand, bent over her. Underneath was the line: "This is no man."

Nearer home in its fdlk-lore comes the Sleeping Beauty^ Upon this casket a beautiful girl lies asleep on a divan. The hero, exquisitely dressed, stands bv her side with uplifted hand. The ftlrl looks as if abont to open her eyes. Beneath this is inscribed the line:

An artistic gown of inyosotis crepe de chine, designed for a blonde, has a yoke of multi-colored passementerie and a deep frill of lace arranged in the form of a shoulder cape. The front falls in soft folds, and is drawn in at the waist by srband of passementerie. The sleeves are run into tucks at the top and have deep lace frills falling from the elbows to the wrists. Delicate tints are general Iv preferred to positive colors for tea gowns. Apricot seems to suit blondes and brunettes equally welt It is a color that a woman of pallid complexion might wear to r,dvantage. All dressy garments are being trimmed with lace. Tea-jackets are wonderfully elaborate. They have more lace than silk in thoir composition.

A new dress-lifter is a small piece of steel about seven inches in length, which is affixed to the waist'under the dress by a narrow belt. To this are rivited a couple of grooved steel plates, in which the bent wire that is to bear the skirt moves. When the lifter is not in use the curved wire hangs down, in no way distending the dress or incommoding the wearer, for it weighs only three ounces. To bring it into use it is merely necessary for a lady to raise the back of her skirt and with Itthe curved wire, which then fastens in a catch with a spring, and in this way keeps the bottom of the skirt raised soma three or four lncbef from tho ground. tVlien You Choose a Wife.

Boys, when you choose a wife, look out for these two or three things. Is her hair nice, sweet and kissable looking? How few girls have kissable hair!

A COHrBMCK MONARCH.

KINO 1WENELEK II., THE NEW

RULER OF ABYSSINIA.

The IHort Powerful Baler Aby«wlnla Han Had for (i«u«rationt—He llaa Had a Rather Humaulk Career—

Was the Sou of a Beggar Woman.

King Menelek H. is now the ruler not only of bts own kingdom—Shoa, but of the far more important country of Abyssinia to the north. He is, therefore, the most powerful ruler Abyssinia has had for generations, for he has united his own country with the great highlands north of him.'

The King has had a rather romantic history and is a somewhat peculiar person—a fact of which the King of Italy is well conviuced—for Meuelek has shown a disposition to violate some portions of the treaty which his envoys made with King Humbert a year ago, and Italy is having more or less trouble with the large country over which it has assumed protectorate.

King Haelou, of Shoav the fatner of Menelek, heard one day that a woman of striking beauty was seeking alms at the door of the palace. He seut for her and was so greatly impressed by her charms that he introduced her atuoug the women of his establishment. When a little boy was born he said he would not recognize "him as his son unless in the course of years he showed a striking resemblance to His Majesty. As tho boy grew up he came to look very much" like his royal father, and the'King named him as his heir, though he had other sons who had a better right to the throne.

One of the most powerful native rulers in Africa to-day is, therefore, the son of a beggar woman, and his mother recently was still alive, enjoying honor in Shoa.

Physically the King is not an im-

Ere

sive person. He is almost coallack, short and dumpy. Unlike hiS uncle, Ras Darghe, ana others among his chief advisers, he is, on the whole, very friendly to Europeans, and wants to introduce*their artsinto this country, Although he has declined to accept the coins bearing the effigy of King Humbert sent to him from Italy for circulation in his country, nnd although in other respects the Italians assert that he has acted in an unreasonable manner, they have him to thank for the fact that they have now secured the plum of Africa for there isno territory acquired by the whites in the recent scramble for Africa which compares with Abyssinia in present or prospective importance.

King John,tho late ruler of Abyssinia, who was violently opposod toaEuropean protectorate, regarded the whites with the utmost suspicion and made wai against them when they advanced to-

KINO MRNKUCK II. OK ABYSK1XIA, ward the highlands, Menelnk, how ever, shows a disposition to invite the Italians to traillo in his Country.

He has a remnr»abte fondness for machinery nnd implements of ail sorts, and h4s greatest delight is to examine their mechanism. Explorers say he ruined about a dozen watches and alarm clocks taking them apart and trying to put them together again. He became at last, however, quite proficient watch-tinker.

Several years ago M. Chefneux took the King, as a present from the French government, a mitrailleuse. For convenience of carrying it was taken to pieces and closely packed. The weapon reached the King several days before the traveler did, and very much to M. Chefneux's astonishment he found it properly put together and mounted. The King had made a careful study of firearms, and with the aid of a picture of a mitrailleuse he had prepared this little surprise for the white man.

Before he became King of Abyssinia he largely widened tho boundaries of Shoa by* conquering the fierce Galla tribes around him. He has some men Of ability among his generals and counselors, and to them much of his prestige is attributed.

Personally he is not conspicuous as a warrior, and in most things he has showm himself easily influenced by his advisers, but he distinguished above them all for his faith in the advantage of drawing useful lessons from civilized countries. He does not like missionaries, however. In 18S3 he kept two Swedish missionaries practically prisoners in his chief town for ten months and.tben sent them hack to the coast. Later he expelled all the French Catholic and German missionaries from his country.

Early Delight* of Railroading. In November. 1832, the first passengti? train in the state of Peimsyl vania made its trial trip. It was drawn by

4*Old

Ironsides." a famous engine built by |L W. Baldwin, founder of the great locomotive works in Philadelphia that still bear bis mime. Old Ironsides had some drawback to its efficiency. For example, on the trial trip it was found that the wheels were too light to keep the machine on the track. So engineer and machinist had to push it until considerable headway was gained. Then they jumped aboard, so that their weight would keep the wheels down. Tho boiler, also, was too small, and did not generate enough steam for loag distances. Hence, for much of the distance between Philadelphia and Ger mantown the engineer and his assistants found theirs a varied career* They had to posh and ride alternately. The rails, too, had unpleasant eccentricities of their own. They wet* usoal !y made of wdod with strap iron spiked upon them. Theetrap rails had a fashion of curling op through the weight of* the car on Ibeir central part. Often th* engineer would be compelled to stop the car to pound down the "snake bead,** as it got to be called, or else detail in iwsietaat to hold it down with a lever while the train passed on,

WHALES ON THB RAMPAOE.

Tales Told of These ttnall? Qalol hitDt. As most people know, the whale Is not a savage animal, and any small raft ia reasonably safo among a school of these leviathans, provided they are not molested. Occasionally, however, a whalo goes on the rampage, t»ys tho New York Ledger, and then even fair-sized vessels have to get out of the way. The coasting schooner Cecilia had a stirring encounter with an immense hump-back whale off the ooast of Nova Scotia recently. When the monster, which the captain declares was 70 feet long, first made its appearance, the crew paid no attention to it, but when it swam alongside the schooler and gave it an occasional bump the frightened sailors held a consultation. The only weapon on board was a 82caliber revolver, and tho captain fired one shot from this at the whale, aiming at what he thought to be a vulnerable part But the only effect of tho bullet was to further irritato tho whale and it hit the schooner several slaps with its tail that made the masts shako. Then it began to dive under the schooner from side to side, keeping the sailors in perpetual terror for fear ho would rise directly under the vessel and turn her. keel uppermost There was no use trying to escape by flight as the whale tacked every time the vessel did and was twice as swift and they did not dare to use the revolver again. So tho schooner sailed on for two days and nights with tho unwelcomo visitor frisking arouad her and not a man dared close his eyes. But the great animal was either merciful or ignorant of its strength. At any rate it finally dropped astern after giving the Cecilia two torriblo whacks that nearly capsized her.

Another whale story, with moro ot the spice of danger, is told of an American sailor named Leonard, who was one of the crow of the ship Mystery, a whaler in the North Pacific. Ono day be was stationed in the bow of a whaleboat & long di.sta.nco from the ship, in hunt of a large whale. Our hero was th© harpooner, and when within proper distance ho threw his harpoon, striking the fish hard and deep. The line began to run out when suddenly It caught thb body of ono of the men in such away as to haul him overboard. As tho man sank the harpooner transferred his lino to a boatman nnd sprang Into the ocean In aid of tho drowning sailor, and just at that moment tho whale, maddened by tho wound, made a rush for the boat Remarkable to relate, Leonard's friend happened to regain tho boat in safety, but Loonard himself was caught by tho whalo between its jaws, his position being inside the monster's mouth, with nothing protruding but ono of his arms. If it had boen a shark, Leonard would have. Instantly been swallowed alivo, but a whale has a very small gullet and could not swallow a baby. Still tho harpooner's situation was none tho lest, precarious, as he might easily bo crushed to death. Tho whalo instantly plunged down into tho deep, but tho imprisoned man had not lost his presence of mind. He mustered his entire bodily strength, and he was a very powerful man, actually bracing himself in such a position as to compel the fish to spread Its jaws, and with his sheath knife cut right and left No soonor was thore a sufficient open ing than he forced his way outside and rose to the surface. Strango to say, he was within arm's length of tho boat when ho camc up, and ho was soon hauled aboard, considerably shaken up, but otherwise sound and whole. After this adventure, Leonard was known as "the second Jonah," and no wonder.

How Kpoolc Are made.

Birch wood is preferred for the making of spools. The wood is first sawed into sticks four or flvo feet long and soven-oighths of an inch to throo inchc* square, according to tho size of tho spool to bo produced. Those stick# are thoroughly seasoned. They are sawed into short blocks and dried In a hot-air kiln. At the time they are sawed holes are bored perpendicularly through each block, which Is set on end under a rapidly revolving, longshanked augur. Next ono whirl of each little block against some tittle knives that are turning at lightning speed fashion it into a spool according to tho pattern desired, and that too. at the rat© of one a second for each set of knives. A row of small boys, food tho «pool-maklng machines by simply placing the blocks in a spout selecting tho best and throwing out the knotty and defective stock. -Xhe ma** chine is "automatic." but there are some things which it cannot do, bene the employment of tho small boys above mentioned. After th# spools are turned they are placed in a largo drum snd revolved rapidly until they have taken on a fine polish. For shmo special purpose they are dyed yellow, black or red, according to tasto. When ono mm a spool of thread marked 200" or -aocr yards It does not signify that tho thread has been measured, but that the s^ool has been gauged and is supposed to has* that amount of thread upon it
