Obtuse Johnnie.

johnnie Longstopper went out to call
on young lady the other evening, and
left the house about 2 A. M. He says he
had real pleasant time, too. EARLY in
the evening the young lady presented
him with q spray OF begonia, and told
him that she believed 1t was pronounced
"Begone YOU" Then she talked about
Johnnie Jump-up, and showed him lot
growing in hanging basket, asked him
II he wouldn't take some before he left.
Then she sat down to tile piano and sang
"Gentle Mother Gall Us Homev and
SPIN Saddest When Sing" She didn't
know what made her yawn SO, and
Johnnie didn't either. s'Perhaps," she
said, "she was taking cold and she hoped
Johnnie would close the gate when he
went" She also said that the folks al
ways had an early breakfast and asked
Johnnie II he didn't think he would hate
to get UP this early every morning to
lay the table. About this time the old
gentleman sent In his gold watch on q
server, and Johnnie told the servant to
say much obliged, and that he would
cherish the chronometer for its tender
associations. And John says he had a
real nice time.

A most interesting account is given
in the Independence Beige on the ex.
periments Of Nj. Bourbouze, of the Sor.
bonne, in telegraphing without words.
He has very completely demonstrated
The feasibility of his plan, winch is to
utilize the electric currents passing
through the earth. The end sought is
the interchange Of telegraphic signals
withouta wire, or rather without other
wires than the short lengths needed to
connect the galyanometer and pile, or
battery, at either extremity Of the lines.
The discovery is one which has long
been sought alter, and the German and
other war departments have made the
subject one OF deep study. Should this
discovery be perfected the original plan
of telegraphing by means Of two wires,
one from the sender to the receiver, and
one from the receiver back to the sender,
will be thing OF the past. Expert
ments have also been made in commu-
nicating under the sea by the same
means, and from one lofty height to
another through the medium Of the air

A DANBuRY BREEZE. -The first straw

A DANBURY BREEZE.-The first straw
hat of the season appeared on the street
on Monday afternoon. 1t was in the
middle of the street. 1t was moving
along on its ears, with every indication
of safe and speedy trip. A man was
about five yards in the rear OF the hat.
He was populariy supposed to be the
owner thereof. He was bareheaded.
He was going fast. His face was scarlet
in color. He looked hot and embar.
rassed. Once 1t almost stopped. Ae
slackened his speed. Then it shot ahead
again. Then he picked up his feet more
aDundantly. Men in wagons stopped
their teams to look. Merchants followed
their customers to the door to look.
People on the sidewalk dropped every
other subject. and bent all their atten-
tion to the chase. The hat went under
one wagon and then passed beneath an.
other and SKINNED across the street,
and finally brought up against a tree.
fhe bareheaded man, who had twice
given up the pursuit, and had each time
declared that he didn't care for the old
thing anyhow, now put forth d third el-
fort and secured 1t. Then he set it on
his head and pulled 1t down until the
brim cracked halfway round. Then he
got over fence, passed through yard,
scaled another fence, and continued his
| way home by the same unostentatlous
way.--(Danbury News.

It is a curious fact that the trade dol
lar, which, six months ago, would not
be taken even at a discount of 10 per
cent. on the Pacific slope, is now at q
premium of 3 per cent. A San Fran.
cisco broker thus explains the situation:
"The trade dollar is simply a piece of
refined and stamped bullion, and is SO
looked upon by dealers. The price of
this piece of money, or rather it's valua-
ton, is fixed by the price of silver in
London. If silver tumbles, then down
go the trades with it, and if silver goes
up the trade dollars follow. The reason
of the trade-dollar scare last spring was
owing wholly to the condition of the
London silver market and the great I'M
certainty then existing as to the effect of
the demonetizing of silver by Germany
to the amount of several hundreds of
millions. AS soon as the price went
down here they were eagerly bought up
by spectators and held for the China
and India trade, and suddenly disap-
peared from circulation. Now the coin
has in large measure been shipped,
and the rise in silver and the appreciated
value of trades has led people to inquire
for them again. Should silver continue to
rise in London the trades will command
a slight premium, and their value as
refined bullion will result in every one
of them being exported that can be
found. There will always be demand
for trade dollars In China and India"

Plurality of Presidents.

Mexico is at present embarrassed with
superabundance of Presidents. Lerdo,
whose term expired Dec. 5, but who has
been constitutionally elected, has been
obliged to flee from the capital. His
temporary seat of government is in one
of the interior states of the Republic.
Diaz, who has proclaimed himself mill
tary dictator, or provisional President,
was defeated for the Presidency by Ju-
arez, in 1871, but has ever since con-
tended that he was rightfully elected.
Being In possession of the capital and
the machinery of the Government, he has
several points in his favor. Iglesias, who
has established himself in Guanajuato,
was, as President of the Supreme Court,
the legitimate successor of Lerdo. in
case OF failure to elect President.
He claimed that Lerdo was not legally
reelected, and that a vacancy existed in
the office. Taking time by the forelock,
he left the capital before Lerdo's first
term expired, and now pretends that he
is President aod interim. Diaz and
Iglesias are both reactionists, and leaders
of the clerical party. Before the fight
OF Lerdo, they exchanged salutations,
and it was understood that Diaz would
acknowledge the authority of Iglesias
on condition that he should retain the
power for himself. These two
worthless have'quarreled over the division
of the spoils, and are now ready to de-
YOUR each other. j
