solitary "Ku-Klux' since his accession
to Office. The reason is, do7btless,
that he is not engaged in their manu-
facture like his predecessor Williams.

Memphis is decidedly a fast town.

SENSATIONAL reports about a pend
ing absorption Of the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company by the
Western Union are disturbing Wall
street. Mr.. Jay Gould is credited with
this latest combination. The Nelv
York Tribune says the restless specu-
lator does not deny that such a plan is
contemplated, but says that details of
an adjustment have not yet been
reached. The general public viii sin.
cerely hope that they never may be.
1t IS not to the general interest that the
whole Geographic system of this con-
tinent and of the cables to Europe
should be concentrated under a single
management. Business men and news
papers would probably have little at
the outset to fear, since the Western
Union corporation is too sagacious to
impose needless burdens upon its best
customers. But it is not IN the nature
Of things that a gigantic monopoly
such as this would become could in the
long run be depended on for the safest
and best service to the public.

costly ever devised. And everybody
knows that it has led to frauds, rascally
rings, briberies, and peTjuries without

coming leagued with the well-known

THE DURATION OF IIFE.-In ancien
Rome, during the period between 200
and 800 A. D., the average duration of
life among the upper classes was thirty
years. In the present century. among
the same class of people, it amounts to
fifty years. In the sixteenth century
the mean duration of life in Geneva was
21.21 years, between 1888 and 1941 it
was 40.68 years, and at the present time
as many people live to seventy years of
age as three hundred years ago lived to
the age of forty-three. In the year 1893
the British government borrowed mon
ey, the amount borrowed to be paid in
annuities, on the basis OF the mean dura-
ton of life at that time. The state
treasury made thereby q good bargain,
and all parties to the bargain were salts
fed. Ninety-seven years later Pitt es-
tablished another tontine or annuity
company. based on the presumption
that the mortality would remain the
same as hundred years before. But
in this instance it transpired that the
government had made bad bargain,
since, while in the first tontine 10, ZOO

that life, under favorable influences, has
gained in many, and probably, in all its
forms, and manifestations, both in vigor
and duration

A SINGULAR and serious accident Oc
Cured in the village of South Natick,
Mass, on Monday evening, by which
one man was seriously and another
probably fatally injured. 1t seems that
a Mr. Knight, who has charge of a gang
of hands employed on that section of
the Sudbury river conduit, drove up to
the store in South Natick about o'clock,
and left Patrick Ryan, young man
eighteen years old, who is employed on
the works, in the carriage. Mr.. Knight,
who had been loading rocks, had care
lessly put q charge of nitro -glycerine
into his pocket and it had slipped into
the lining of the coat. When he at
tempted to get into the carriage This
cartridge in some way struck against the
seat and exploded. Both of the men
were thrown from the wagon quite a
distance by the force of the explosion.
Mr. knights clothing on the side was
torn into shreds, and the flesh was torn
badly from his side and hip. His iniu-
ries, though severe and painful, are not
considered dangerous. The force of the
explosion struck Ryan in the abdomen,
tearing off the flesh SO as to leave the
intestines bare. 1t is thought that his
injuries will prove fatal. The first
sensation experienced by Mr.. Knight
after the explosion was that he had been
shot.

exit GRANGER" The Chicago Times
has an editorial under the above head,
from which we extract the following.
We Judge the article to have been con-
tributed by Wisconsin gentleman who
is familiar with the situation
There is one phase of Wisconsin
politics that is pleasing to the Times.
1t is about the only honey our busy bee
has been able to extract from the decay
ing and frostbitten flowers of the Badger
State. Allusion is made to the crafty
ing fact that the granger is about to
quit politics and retire to private life in
disgust. In the language of the colored
preacher, che came forth like de hopper
grass, and is cut down like de sparrow
grass" In 1873, he elected Farmer
Taylor Governor he enacted the Potter
Law he nearly ruined the credit of the
State he prohibited any more railroad
building, and now he has stopped to
take breath. While he stopped to take
breath on the I'd of November, and the
people elected Harrison Ludington
governor, and Taylor has ticket-of-
leave to go back to his farm in Cottage
Grove, and bid long farewell to all
his greatness. Taylor has passed out
of politics and so has the granger and
in view of beth of these events, honest
people see cause for congratulation.

DREDGING FOR AMBER IN GERMANY.

DREDGING FOR AMBER IN GERMANY
According to an official report from
Mcneil, Germany, an establishment has
been organized for gaining amber by
dredging for it in the Kuriscue Half,
near the village of Schwarzorts, situated
about 10 miles south of Memel. It has
been known for many years that amber
existed in the soil of this place, from
the fact that the dredger employed by
the government for the purpose of clear
ing away the shallow spots near Sehwar-
zorts, which impeded navigation,
brought up pieces of amber, which were
duly appropriated by the workmen, and
at the time no particular attention
was paid to the matter. Some time
afterwards, however, some spectators
associated, and made an offer to the
government not only to do the dredging
wherever required at their own expense,
but to pay daily rent, provided the
amber which they might find should be-
come their property. This proposal was
accepted, and the rent fixed at Is thalers,
and later at 25 thalers, for each working
day. The dredging was begun W it'll
four machines worked by men and one
worked by horses. Judging from the
extended business transactions in this
matter, its results must have been ex-
tremely profitable. At present. the work
is carried on with eighteen steam bred
ges and two tug boats, the whole manag-
ed by about 1000 laborers.
