Responsibility Of the Republicans.

The New York Herald remarks
that sit is idle rhetoric to attempt to
show that the crime of man like
Belknap is an evidence of the corr
ruption of whole party or a whole
people" This is perfectly true; but
the crime of Belknap, unfortunately,
docs not stand alone. The Whiskey
Ring extends from Chicago to New
Orleans, when Babcock was indicted

"lyzed the Government. The "party"
is certainly responsible for this. The
corruptions in the War Department
are not confined to the late Secretary,
together with those of Babcock, have
been making fortunes out of jobs
The party" is certainly responsible
for this. The Navy Department has
expended vast sums to control cleo
tions and the Philadelphia Yard,
worth $3,0OO,O0O, was sold for ST.
100000. The "party" is certainly
responsible for this. The Freedman's q
Bank has plundored the credulous
people of color of millions, and the
"party" is certainly responsible for
this. Mr.. Minister Schcnck has pulled
out the tail feathers of the American
Eagle in London, and the Emma
Mine scandal has brought the blush
of shame to the cheek Of every Anne.
rican abroad. The "party" is GER
tainly responsible for this. We all
know that great sums were spent in
straw contracts in the Postoffice De-
partment, and for this the "party'' is
certainly responsible.
1t is a matter of common notorie-
ty that Gl ant has been intimate with
the lowest men in the country-the
Fiskcs, the Murpheys, and the Nc
Donalds, and that he has always re-
fused to interfere with an official
"underfire;" that is, he has treated
public opinion with as much con-
tempt as if he were q second Peter
the Great, and not a constitutional
magistrate. The "party" is respon.
sible for this.
Last of all, it is a lamcntable fact
that when the Republicans had a
majority in the House no investiga-
ton could be made, no rascals was
brought to justice, no reforms intro,
duced, and for this the "party" is
certainly responsible. Yes, the re-

What is Of . much importance Is the
protection of our own lives and those of

and tho sooner the better Will we do it
that is the question: I would suggest that

violation of same, punishable by fine or

ay with all the delusion and receptions

strive to do everything in our power as
members Of great and noble calling to
raise the standard ofour profession. Let
US profit as best we can from the history

experience has been sad enough. Let Us
see II we cannot elevate our profession to

frown down upon quacks and quackeryin

Generation Of Motion.

To generate motion has been found
characteristic common, with one ex-
ception, to all the phases of physical
force. We hold the bulb of a Their
mometer in our hands, and the mercu-
ry expands in bulk, and, rising along
the scale, indicates the increase of heat
it has received. We heat water, and
1t Is converted into steam, and moves
our machinery. our carriages, and our
iron-clads. We bring a loadstone near
number of iron-fil;ngs and they move
toward it, arranging themselves in
peculiar and intricate lines; or we
bring piece of iron near Il magnetic
needle, and we find it turned away
from its ordinary position. We rub a
piece Of glass with silk, thus throw
ing 1t into state Of electrical excite
ment, and we find that bits of paper
on thread fly toward it, and are, in a
few moments, repealed again. If we
remove the supports from mass of
matter it falls, the influence of gray
itation being here most plainly eX-
pressed in motion, as shown in clocks
and water-mills. If we fix pieces of
paper upon Il stretched string, ana
then sound a musical note near it, we
find certain of the papers projected
from their places. Latterly, the So
called sensitive hames,' which are
violently agitated by certain musical
notes, have become well known as in
stances of the conversion of sound in
to motion. How readily chemical
force undergoes the same TRANSFORMED
ton is manifested in such catastrophes
AS those Of Bremerhaven, in the re-
cent deplorable coal-mine explosions,
and, indeed, in every discharge of a
gun.
But light, in some respects the high
est Of the powers of Nature, has not
been hitherto found capable Of direct
conversion into motion, and such an
exception cannot but be regarded as a
singular anomaly.--Prof Crookes, in
Popular Science Nonthly for July.

"You are about to die" she said
pitilessly to the Inflated man.
How dare you treat the sacred per-
son Of an envoy in this manner?" he
cried.

to me. ! shall have your >flesh torn
from your limbs with red-hot pincers
if you do not confess what induced
King Francis to commit so infamous
an outrage as to send you to me in the
capacity of an envoy"
Gavini referred once more to the in
volatility of his office. She ordered
the eXecutioner to torture him. A
horrible scene ensued. The prisoner
was placed on a wooden bench. and
then the executioner, after binding
him, began to tear off his flesh with
red-hot pincers. For ten minutes the
victim, though uttering the most I'M
earthly yells, refused to confess. AT
last, when the agony became too great,
he told the Marchioness what he had
come to Corsica for. This still added
to her fury.
WHAT" she cried, "King Francis
has believed me to be so low! Me, who
have more ancient blood in my veins
than Valois ever had. Oh, he shall
rue itv' He shall rue it,
She then ordered Gavin to be be-
headed, and sent his head in glass
jail filled with white Corsican wine to
the King Of France. Francis the First
was beside himself with rage upon re-
ceiving this CHASTITY present. He or
gained a secret naval expedition to
Corsica, and caused Isolena to be kid
mapped. She landed in Marsailles in
February, 1928. The King was there
at the time. He refused to see her.
Have her hair cropped" he ordered,
"have her clad in hempen garments.
and then whipped through the streets
of the cityW This was done on the
following day. The beautiful Mar
chioness suffered the torture with as.
founding fortitude. Not cry of pain
escaped her tightly-compressed lips as
the eXecutioner'S lash descended upon
her back. AT last she opened her
mouth; a stream of blood issued from
it.
" Who will avenge me- she gasped.
She was avenged few months later
when Francis the First was overpow-
cred at Pavia, and 50 badly beaten that

OF course, any great bungler of a

were leaning against the fence and APP
plauding. The first few feet Were cut
on the bias, leaving a strip along the
curbstone a. a fringe. On the other
side of the walk she started out to tue
and rutile. but finally cut most of the
grass on the gore and finished up with
deep fiounce along the street. Over
by the fence she hemmed up a narrow
strip, bound it around with clean
cut, and then performed some Of the
incest plating ever seen, leaving
enough tall grass along the fence-board
to serve As an overskirt 10 the lawn.
The BOYS thought there ought 10 be
more padding around the horse block,

A ROMANCE OF HISTORY.

In the early part of the fifteenth
century the Island of Corsica was
bone of contention between the mari
time Republic of Italy. the Duchy of
Savoy, and the Kingdom of France.
The latter at that time was ruled by
the chivalrOus Francis the First, one
of the most remarkable characters in
history. His ambition was only equal
ed by his reckless audacity, and he
alone of all the Princes of his time
ventured to break lance with the
powerful Emperor Charles the Fifth,
who so disaStrously defeated him at
Pavia in 1925. In the preceding year
King Francis had a quarrel with his
wife, who had reproached him for his
follies. One day, maddened by her
taunts, he said to his valet, Gavin, a
Corsican:
"Ah, l must get rid of Her Majesty.
Her temper is too bad l am sure that
the Holy Father viii grant me a
divorce from her. But where shall l
find new wife,
Your Majesty has only to choose
among the most beautiful princesses of
Europe" said Gavin.
But there is not single beautiful
princess in Europe rejoined the King,
almost angrily. "Amelia of Savoy is
the only one that is not absolutely
homely, and hate her father so Bit
into a union with any member of his
family,
IF your Majesty will permit me"
SAID the willy Corsican, II could tell
you of lady with royal blood in her
veins. who is young and handsome
enough to grace the throne of France
by Your side
And who is she?" asked the King,
eagerly.

How One Girl Got Into the Sultan's
Harem.

Paris Correspondence Philadelphia Telegraph.
A few years ago an English woman
named Tompkins, who kept shop at
Pera, summoned from England, to aid
her in her business, a young neice, who
proved to be extremely pretty, and no
less intelligent. Soon after her arrival
she took it into her head to study Tur-
kish, representing to her aunt that such
knowledge would be of great advantage
to their trade, as the Turkish ladies
would naturally prefer to make their
purchases where they could be under
stood without the aid of an interpreter.
AS the young girl was at once clever,
ambitious and industrious, she soon
succeeded in acquiring the language,
and numbers of the female members
of the noblest Turkish families came to
the English chop. One day the pretty
neice went to the harem of Prince Mu-
rad to take home some article ordered
by his principal wife. She never re-
turned, and when the aunt sent in
search of her she received cool mes
sage of farewell from the young lady
herself, who had become the fourth
wife of the heir to the throne, who is
at present Sultan.1 $1,000
