est degree. In the East, throughout
Syria, Judea and Arabia, it is regarded
with the prOfoundest reverence. The
leaves that encircle the rsund blossom
dry and close tight together when the
season of blossom is over, and, the stalk
whitening completely away from the
stem, the flower is blown away, at
least from the bush on which it grew,
having dried up in the shape of a ball,
which is carried by the sport of the
breeze to great distances. In this way
it is borne over the sandy wastes
and deserts, until at last, touching some
moist place, it clings to the soil, where
it takes fresh root and springs to life
and beauty again. For this very rea-
son the Orientals have adopted it as the
emblem of the resurrection. The dried
flower is placed by the Judeans in a
vase of water beside the beds of the
sick, and if it expands by moisture the
omen is considered favorable. If it
does not the worst is at all times fear

money came from and where it went to. The
amount involved was round million. He
succeeded in showing that it came from the

The largest sum went to Schumacher. a
Democratic Congressman from that moral
cesspool, Brooklyn. The sum paid him was
$780, 600. The President of the companv
MIR. Stockwell, not only approved that paw
ment, but accused Irwin of being '.stingy and
not paying Schumacher enough" One would
say the payment was liberal. That Schu-
maker was well "heeled," certainly, provided
he kept only small per cent. of it at last. 1t
was understood that tie Brooklyn member
should superintend the passage of the bill
through Congress, and of course he disbursed
a good deal of it to others, in one way and an
other. The Doorkeeper of the House received
$1,000 from Irwin. This Schumacher is q
member of the present Confederate Congress
and the body, which was so righteously in
dlgnant at the corruption of Belknap. per-
mlts far guiltier man than to retain his seat

not directed against the Democracy. When

ence in the world whose OK is gored. Had
he been Republican, he would have been
expelled promptly, as he should have been.
The facts point their own moral, so far as con-
Germs the pretensions of the Democracy to be-
ing reform party.

Specialties in Medicine.

We publish on our eighth page lengthy ar
ticle describing the system of the noted speci-
alst, DIR. II. '. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. in
which he sets forth with considerable force
and clearness his reasons for devoting his whole
time and attention to single department Of
medcine-the treatment Of lingering chronic
diseases. The same article also takes up the
subjects of dagonsis, methods of consultation
and treatment, etc., and will be found to con-
tain many valuable hints to the invalid. DIR

Centennial Items.

New York City is to suspend business from
Saturday, July 1, TO Wednesday, July 8, in or
der to celebrate the Fourth, and to attend the
| Philadelphia show. All the exchanges have
agreed to this programme, and that the only
drawback is that the Legislature failed to
take action on the memorial regulating that
the days mentioned be made legal holidays, in
consequence Of which neglect, the banks will
have to be kept open.
Ladies will be especially sad over the fact
that a disagreement with the Custom. house
officers has debarred the Exposition from a
wonderful collection of diamonds from Brazil
The Brazilian Commissioner had brought on
display, estimated to be worth So, 600, 900; but
the Custom-house would not let them through
without bond of twice their value, to pre-
vent sales, and as the Commissioner would not
or could not consent to this, the pretty stones
were sent home again.
One of the prettiest little side shows at the
Exposition is a tiny Moorish villa, elaborate
in ornamentation, perfect in design. It is
brought from Tangiers, and is beautiful re-
minder of the luxurious side of Oriental life.
Ladies of strong turn of mind will do well
to examine the collection of trophies sent by
Mrs. Matt. Maxwell, the celebrated huntress
of Colorado-stuffed animals and birds of all
kinds, killed by her own hand, including
buffalo, Rocky Mountain lion, and mon.
ster grizzly bear. She is woman who can
'sight her rifle clear to pigeons in the skies, |"
and the tenderness of her sex has never been
imposed upon.
One of the biggest things at the Centennial
is to be the parade of the Knights Templars
in June, which promises to be the most gor
geous display in the annals of Masonry. The
number of Knights expected is estimated at
upward of twenty thousand, exclusive of the
Philadelphia organizations.
1t is odd that just now marble slab should
be unearthed in the Military Park in Newark,
N. j., containing the following inscription
'The citizens of Newark, in grateful COM
mcmoration of the 50th anniversary of Ameri-
can Independence, have on this 4th day of
July, A. ID. 1925, deposited this stone as a
foundation of monumental memorial here to
be erected; and when the dilapidation of time
shall discover this inscription TO future gener-
ations, may the light of the Gospel illuminate
the whole world" The memorial has never
been built; and the hope expressed has hardly
been fulfilled.

Do Not Condemn Hastily.

Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Bristow and Mr.. Blaine
are gentlemen who belong to the history of
the time, men in whose genius and achieve
ments we should all take pride. We may have
our ewn opinions as to their fitness for high
places; we may think that Morton is too des-
perate in his views of many questions to be
trusted in the White House; we may think
that Bristow is too young and too inconsider
ate for the duties of this supreme office; we
may think that Blaine is too much of trim
mer and politician; but this does not justify
us in assuming as consequence that they are
all corrupt, bad, wicked men, who use their
Office for personal gain; who are vulgar job
bers' who have forfeited the confidence of the
people, and who should be in Jail. Let lis
take some things for granted in dealing with
our public officers, and among them this, that
when men attain the eminence of Morton.
Bristow and Blaine. they are not as a general
thing corrupt. Until corruption is proven in
contestably, let us at least give them the bene-
fit of their services and their fame-IN. Y.

A Pair of Adventurous Lads.

Walter Farber, aged fifteen, and his
cousin, Frank Farber, aged seventeen
ran away from their home In st. Louis
recently, the Black Hills being their
destination. Tney propose to kill In.
dians and make their fortunes. They
had read dime novels and Black Hills
advertisements, and learned just what
they had to do to make themselves fa:-
nous anu rich, 80 they got together $94.
80 cash of their respective parents and
bought tickets to Denver. Their equip
ment, as was subsequently, learned, con-
sisted of two tiny seven-shooting revol
vers and two boxes of cartridges for In
dian-killing purposes, several little
sacks for storing the nuggets of gold
that they were going to fluid, a pocket
diary each, and the jacket, shirt, pants,
and shoes in which they were dressed.
They reached Kansas City all right,
and while awaiting the departure of
of the train for Denver were approached
by u Sunday-school looking man whose
sympathy was evidently excited in
their behalf. He told them that he
could set their Black Hills tickets ex-
changed for tickets which would carry
them clear to California, and then they
could come around to the Black Hills
by the back way and get good view
Of the country. He required, however,
bonus of ten dollars on the exchange.
They thought this an excellent sugges-
tion on the part of the kindly young
man and gave him their tickets, to-
gether with ten dollars in cash, receiv-
ing from him nice-looking check on
the Hiberian Bank of st. Louis for 500,
which was to secure them until the
young man brought back the Califor-
mia tickets. They held on to the check
until it look rather scaly in the light of
the young mans continued absence,
and they soon after found lots of persons
who could tell them that they were
victims. A little inquiry developed the
fact that the young man had sold the
tickets to ticket scalper, and the boys
bought them back ut an advance of $15.
They felt very dismal indeed ut this
experience. They had been out from
home for more than day and not an
Indian nor gold mine had they sight
ed. Just as the runaway lads were in
the glOomiest part of a calculation as to
how they could make their few remain
ing dollars hold out till they could get
u shot at an Indian or pOunce upon a
gold mine, an officer, bearinga telegram
from the Chief of Police of st. Louis
nabbed them, and they abanduned their
purposed expedition to the frontier and
were escorted back home.-[ DenUer

GOVERNOR HAYES OF OHIO.

GOVERNOR HAYES OF OHIO
Ihe Presidential contest of 1876 is to be
hotly contested, and the Republican candidate
must not be put on the defensive because OF
any doubtful record. The platform will not
signify so much as the candidate. His life
and services must be the guarantee that his
administration will be pure and able.
Ohio will be the great battle-ground in Oc.
tober. The State is close, but with proper
candidate the Republicans say they will sweep
it again, as they did last year. The memora-
bic struggle in the Buckeye State of last sum-
mer, will take rank in political history side by
side with the great Lincoln-Douglas Sena-
torial contest of ante-bellum days. The great
central figure of that contest was the thrice
elected Governor of that great State-a sue
cessful General, an able, honest and fearless
public servant, whose private life and public
record are without stain. 1t is not therefore
strange that shrewd politicians see in Cover
nor Hayes one of the most formidable Presi-
Dental candidates before the Cincinnati Con-
veHtion next month. He will not enter the
contest with as many votes as his rivals, but
not having enemies among the friends of 9TH
or candidates, he does not run the risk of any
combinations to defeat him. His friends have
not packed conventions or made any noisy
demonstrations, but have relied upon the mer-
its OF their candidate to commend him to the
intelligent voters of the country. The de-
mands of the times is fearless, honest man,
who will give us an honest administration of
public affairs. 1t is significant, that while
every other candidate for the Presidency, on
beth sides, has been the target for vitupera-
tion, and been charged with almost every kind

"God loved Elijah too well to answer
that prayer of his when he lay there

"COl. Buffalo Sam.-

; This distinguished individual arrived
in Detroit at an early hour yesterday
morning, and got out of town just as
the curfew bells were Changing last
night. He is on his way'to the Black
Hills, or rather on his return, he having
just got settled in that locality when a
letter from his dying mother called
him to Canada in hurry. The Col.
stopped off in Detroit for the purpose of.
exciting some enthusiasm in the pub
lie heart and hoping to organize an ex-
pedition which he might guide to the
Hills. After devOuriDg an early break
fast he called the hotel porter one side
and confidentially inquired why he
would spend his time wrastling trunks
around when he could make fortune
in the Black Hills in fifteen days.
"Fifty dollars will take you right to
the spot where they are shOveling the
gold into wagons" he added, land I'll
lend you shovel and a four-herse
team"
SIS the gold coined into money!
asked the porter.
"Of course not; it's in nuggets, many
of them as big as oranges"
"It wouldn't pay me to fool around
with ore," replied the porter, land L
was never no hand to use q shovel or
drive team.
The Colonel introduced himself to q
policeman, asking the officer why he
went around with club tied to his wrist
when he could just as we'll be riding in
carriage with blue-velvet lining and
gOld-plated hubs. He hadn't the least
doubt that policeman would make a
million dollars in one year by going to
the Black Hills, and all the Colouel
wanted was $50 to pay actual travelling
expenses. The officer jammed Mr.. Sam
against Is building, and threatened 10
brain him, and Mr.. Sam got out of the
neighbOrhood with promptness and ir-
regularity.
"What do L want of gold?" yelled
the officer, as Sam halted on distant
corner to look around. "What is money
to officer who walks over $50 rods of
bad Sidewalk twelve times per day, and
whose legs are all SCARED up with dog
bites?"
The Colonel entered a secondhand
store and repeated his golden
plans to the smiling proprietor thereof.
you'll be back here in sixty days
with gold enough to buy ten such stores
as this" said Mr.. Sam, in very earn
est voice.
"Do ou want to buy O coat?" asked
the clothier, after patiently listening
and pondering.
The Colonel didn't.

''if you doan' want to puy coat doan'
want to go to der Plack Hills, and you
IAN 60 right out of my clotning-house!"
"But what has the sale Uf coat to do
with your going?" asked the Colonel.
"Vhat has dem Plack Hills to do NIT

The Colonel worked like beaver all
lay long, and the only Detroiter whose
was excited was q small
boot black, who agreed to write to his
aunt i'm Duluth and ask her advice
about going. Mr.. Sam tried in vain to
borrow more or less money, and to Sc
.ure more or less beer on credit, and

IA follows The printing business is
the most fascinating and enhancing oc-

pleasant but highly respectable employ

being realized by newspaper publishers
without the slightest effort, and take it
all in all 1t is the easiest way to gain a
