the tentacles Of the Law are always

But it was not our object to in
vidiously attach the odium of this
practice to our immediate exchanges,
though there may be some who
evince an inclination in this direc-
ticn. 1t is peculiarly a characteristic
of Western journalism-Chicago, St.
Louis and San Francisco papers lead
ing off in open order. In the jour-
mails of these cities skillful head
liner is an important member of the
staff editorial. II he is a facetious
youth, and full of quips and jokes,
and ready quotations, he ranks next
to baseball reporter or the sport
ing editor. Some, while not so ex-
pansive in head lines, dose their read
ers daily and weekly with far-fetched
but feeble and staggering allitera-
tions suited to thefebrile condition
of a poetic schoolgirl in her first
throes. This latter class is deemed
of value in sensational journalism,
but is expensive and troublesome, as
he must be carefully watched when
the moon is in its full and at the sea-
son when the roses bloom. Taking
it all in all, this head line business,
beyond modest Indication Of the
subject matter Of an article, is an
open, pal pable insult to the intelli-
gence of the reader. i~T~

q AND now there is an opening pre-
scented for trouble between the Uni

suffered to pass unnoticed.

PRoF. PACKARD has been for some

in collecting information concerning
their migratory and dietary habits,
and thinks he has sufficient data to
begin the construction Of map---a
grasshopper map of the United
States---indicating in colors their
distribution, etc. He has consulted
Prof. Able, of the Weather Signal
Bureau, and they have jointly come
to these conclusions: 1. That there
is an intimate connection between
the prevailing winds and their mi
gration---that their rigging is not
adapted to sailing against the wind,
or even lose-hauled; and, 2. That
their periodical visits "coincide with
unusual seasons, and that there are
cycles of years recurring, favorable
or unfavorable to insect life."
BlsHoP WHIPPLE, writing to the
Churchman, says that soon after
Alaska came into possession of the
United States, in a certain Greek
church there was beautiful jeweled
copy of the Gospels lying on the altar.
An officer of the army happening 70
enter the church the day before the
transfer, saw the beautiful copy, and
knowing there was no law in our In
dian country, he called on the bishop
and said: Your Grace, Alaska is to
be turned over to us tomorrow, and
called to s&y ! think you had better
remove that Gospel from your altar
The Bishop replied: 1t has lain there
20 years; it was the gift of the former
Empress Of Russia; why should re.
move it?' My friend very meekly
said: 1t is a beautiful jeweled copy,
and was afraid it might get stolen
The Bishop with surprise, said: Il
hope you have no one who will steal
from God. l shall leave it on the
altar 1t was left and it was stolen"

How about A. Hamilton P-lCincinnati Com
mercial.
The assertion by the Globe passed
around the country freely without
contradiction, until the appear
anee of the querie by the Commercial.
The case of Alexander Hamilton,
however, another eastern contempo-
rary thinks, is hardly q faiSone to pre-
sent against the position of the Bos-
ton paper. Mr.. Hamilton was a ma
tive of the British West India Is
lands, and came to this County pre-
vious to the declaration of Indepen-
dence; was educated in and became
q citizen of our country like all other
persons residing here who had pre-
viously been British subjects.
But = foreign-born Cabinet officer
is not by any means a novelty in the
history of our government. Without
counting Mr. Hamilton, three gen.
tlemen of foreign birth have held
Cabinet positions; viz, Messrs. A.
Gallatin, A. J. Dallas and J. W.
Duane. The first named served for
twelve years as Secretary of the
Treasury--the longest OF any one
who has ever held that position. He
was so profound a thinker and SO
thorough a financier that his opinions
are still held in great respect. Mr..
Gallatin was born in Geneva, and
educated at the University in his ma
tive city. He was so fully imbded
With Republican principles that he
refused the offer of an official posi-
ton from a German monarch and
came to this country. He ultimately
located in Pennsylvania, where he
soon became active in State and
national politics. His selection as
Secretary Of the Treasury was based
mainly on account of the ability he
exhibited as inancier while A men,
Der Of Congress. The next, Alexander
J. Dallas, was born on the Island of
Jamaica, and was possessed of great
learning and fine executive ability.
He was made Secretary of the Treas
ury in 1914 BY Mr.. Madison. He
stood % high in the estimation of
the President that when vacancy
occurred in the War Department, at
avery critical juncture, he was desig-
mated to till that also, and for time
was head Of both the Treasury and
War departments. The last Of the
three, and as conspicuous as any of
his predecessors, and one who ex-
hibited as much frmness as any
man who ever held a Cabinet posi-
ton, was John William Duane, Gen.
Jackson's stubborn Secretary of the
Treasury, whorefussd to remove the
deposits in 1888 and was himself re
moved in consequence. Mr.. Duane
was . native of Clomwell, ireland.
Mr.. Schurz is the first German.Amer- G
jean ever called to a seatin the Cab
met. and his appointment is not only
very fitting because of his ability,
but is proper recognition of one of
the most active and influential eie-
ments Of our population.

of the track, which was serious obstacle to the
efforts of the engineer and fireman to save them
selves by jumping in that direction, as both men
would have to jump from the same side oil the en-
CINE. The engineer was the first to jump when
the engine was within few feet oil the tram, and
he was quickly followed by the fireman. The en-
gineer was quite seriously Injured internally, and
his face was badly cut, but with assistance he was
able to walk to ply sican :, and VIII DC aole 10 DC
about his duties 10 Il few days. The fireman es-
capped with a severe shaking up, and was able to
travel 10 his home in this city.
The collision caused frightful crash and noise,
and the news quickly spread through the city
causing intense excitement. Notwithstanding tae
driving rain, hundreds Of people quickly gathered
at the scene OF the accident and remained until
late in the evening.
In the Bangor train there were about 200 pas
sengers, who were very much frightened and con-
siderably shaken DIP. But one passenger, gen.
tlemau whose name could not be learned, was in
any way injured, and that was caused by his fall
ing forward a stove, slightly cutting his mead.
Z. E. Wheeler, employ ed as night Waterman at
the Lynn station, was attending to his duties on
the train standing the siding, and when the col
lIsion occurred he was knocked down and slghtly
injured about the head aud shoulders.
The loss to the Eastern Railroad cannot be cor
rectly estimated at the present time, but will
amount TO upwards of $40 1000. The baggage car,
which was one of the company's best, was tele-
scoped and completely demolished; the next car, a
smoker, was driven off the trucks some thirty feet
and turned over on the side, completely obstruct-
ing the outward track. The locomotive was badly
injured about the forward end, the machinery was
considerably strained and the right side of the en-
CINE was jammed up against the stone abutment.
Immediately after the accident extra engine
was called INTO requlstion. The disabled train
was shifted out and coupled in with train No. IS,
which arrived in this city at o'clock, or about 30
minutes late. All the outward trains with
their usual regularity. but the inward trains were
a few minutes late, as some time was consumed in
getting around the wreck. Boston GiO6e.
