A Miraculous Cure.

Cid Slopkins is to thi. day firm in
tue oellef that It was miracle. He
had been laid up with lumbago for two
weeks. II had come 20 be 50 bad that
he could not SIT up, let alone stand up
a new doctor came. and gave Slopkins
Imminent which he was 10 have rubbed
upon the small Of his back-upon the
whole lumbar region--thOrOrghly and
faithfully; and it would be better, the
doctor said, for Siopkins to expose his
back 10 the heat while it was being
rubbed; and upon Mrs. Slopkins, who
was to manipulate, he ur-ed that she
should have her hands warm, and not
bring any cold surface suddenly in con-
tact with ;he infiamed parts.
Well, when evening came. and all
was ready for applying the liniment,
Mr.. Slopkins kneeled down upon the
hearth. With his back to the blazing
fire. and his elbows supported upon
basket bottomei chair. Then the good
woman laid bare his broad back, and
applied the liniment-applied it gen
eroasly. as the doctor had told her to
do, and rubbed it briskly. Now it so
happened that this ungucnt was of
highly spirituous character, evaporating
rapidly upon its first application to the
hard. tough. dry hide; so Mrs. Slop-
kins poured on lot Of it. and, to keep
it from dripping off, she nbbed furious
ly While she rubbed with one hand
she held the other hand to the fire to
warm it. The iniiammable spirit was
ablnze before she knew it, aud her blaz-
ing hand was brought in contact with
her husbands back.
Mercy, what scream. First, Mrs.
Siopkins screamed with alright, and
then Mr.. Slopkins yelled with agony
and terror For two weeks he had not
stood erect. but he stood erect now,-he
leapcd up. and danced around like a
madman--danced. and ieaped, and
yelled like fire. fiend. But, fortunate
iy, the fuel Of that flame did not last
long 1t was soon exhausted, and the
good WOMAN had pulled his shirt up so
far over his head, aud he had kept in
such continuous motion, that his cloth
ing had not taken fire.
Utterly exhausted, Slopkins finally
sank upon his bed. where he allowed
his wife to arrange his clothing. Half
an hour afterwards, his back feeling
swfully sore, he wished to be lifted up
that it might be bathed; but. in the eff
fort to help himself a little, he found
the !umbago all gone. Coul he be-
lcve his own senses: He tried lit
tie more-and little more-until, in
the end, he stood upon the floor, well
man--all well save that soreness Of the
burning. But, what was that Moth
ing!
Mrs. Slopkins declares that that lini
ment took fircof its own accord. and
her husband believes her. 1t was n
most wonderful thing. And he has had
no touch of lumbago from that time.

A Slippery Manager.

The following authentic anscdOte in
connection with the Drury Lane Thea
tire. rebuilt by Holland, the architect,
in 1894, and by him leased to Sheridan,
will we doubt not be new to our
readers:
Holland could never obtain a settle
ment or even an interview on tue sub
ject with Sheridan He hunted him
for weeks and months at his own house,
at the theatre, at his usual resorts. but
he was nowhere to been seen. At last
he tracked him to the stage door. rushed
IN in spite of the opposition Of the
burly porter, and found the manager of
the stage converslng with a party of
gentlemen whom he had invited to show
them the theatre. Sheridan saw Hol
land approaching. and knowing that
escape was impossible, put bold face
on the matter.
"Ah my dear fellow" exclaimed be,
"you are the very man l wanted to see
you have come most dpr0p0s. l am
truly sorry you have had the trouble of
calling on me so often, but now we are
met, in few minutes l shall be at
liberty. We will then 90 into my room
together and settle our affairs. But
fir you must decide an important ques-
tion, here Some of these gentlemen
tell me there are complaints. and loud
ones, that the transmission of sound Is
defective in your beautiful theatre.
That. IL fact. the galleries cannot hear

Sound defective not hear" reiter-
ated the astonished architect, turning
pale and almost Staggering back; "why,
it's the most perfect building for sound
that was ever erected I'll stake my
reputation on it, the complaint is most
groundless."
80 l say" retorted Sheridan; bot
now we'll bring the question TO issue
definitely. and then have paragraph
on it in the papers Do you. Holland

the upper gallery. while | stand here
on the stage and talk to you"

greatest pleasure

through labyrinth of dark and wind
ing passages. almost a days journey
until he reached bis distant and ele'

Now, MIR. Holland" crird Sheridan
"are you there and ready :"
Yes" was the immediate answer.
"Can you hear me
"Perfectly--perfectly, Mr.. Sheridan
Then l wish you very good morn

So saying. sheridan disappeared. and

land could descend. Another long III

GROWING WISE.

The representatives, of the Democracy
Of Kansas, in our State Legislature, at,
growing wise. In the past, whenever the
election Of Speaker, a State Printer, or a
L. S. Senator took place, they have invar
iably been used by prominent Republican
aspirants. In fact, the Democratic represen,
tatives in our Legislature has been merged
in the individual, and their power as Dem
ocrats lost. This year they thus far seem
to have resolved upon different policy,
one which seems TO be founded upon prin-
ciple.
We suspect, however, there is another
reason behind all this. The wise ones in
the party know that in case Tilden is
inaugurated as President land all
Democrats are absolutely certain tina,
he viii be- the Democratic members OF the
Legislature will have almost absolute con-
troll OF the patronage of the Government in
Kansas. This undoubtedly weighs more
with their action than principle. They
well know that in case Tilden is President
every applicant for L. S. Office would
seek the endorsement Of the Democratic
members of the Legislature. This fact Is,
therefore, the cohesive power that holds
them so strongly together. Whatever may
be their motive, the fact that they act as
the representatives of the Democracy will
command for them the respec. Of both
parties.

QUESTION from the Governor of Delaware
