The Boot on the Other Leg,
HOW A COUNTRY EDITOR TURNED THE
TABLES ON A MAN THAT WAN
TED INDIA RUBBER
ADYERTIS-

He WAS the manager Of a churcI
fair, and one morning he walked in
to the newspaper office and said:
"Want an item this morning?"
"Of course" replied the editor
Whereupon the visitor laid the fol
lowing note upon the table.
"The ladies Of tie - Street
Church will give a festival at their
vestry hall next Friday evening.
Literary and musical entertainments
will be provided and a supper will be
served to all who desire. The ladies
in charge Of the affair have much
experience in such matters and are
sure to provide good time. The
admission will be only fifteen cents,
and it is certain that no one can
spend that amount to better al
vantage. Be sure to 60 and take
your friends"
When the editor had read it, he
said: "Oh, I see, an advertisement
'No; not an advertisement. We
prefer to have it 60 in the local col
umn,' replied the manager.
And seeing that the editor looked
skcptical, he continued:
1T will interest great many of
your readers, and help good cause
besides, we have spent 80 much
money getting up our entertainment
that we can't afford to advertise it
without increasing the price Of our
tickets. In such matter as this we
ought to be willing to help each
other"
"We!l,' said the editor, eff it goes
into the locals, I suppose you would
reciprocate by reading little notice
in your church next Sunday"
The visiting brother asked what
notice, and the editor wrote and han
aed him the following: "Thc Weekly
Chronicle for the coming year, will
be the best and cheapest family pa
per in Maine. It's proprietor has
had much experience, and has all the
helps which large outlay of money
can procure. His paper has a larger
circulation than any other published
in the country, and is to be furnished
at only 80 It is certain that no one
can spend that amount to a better
advantage. Be sure to take the
Chronicle, and subscribe for your
friends"
The manager hemmed and hesita.
ted, and then said, solemnly, that he
doubted whether it would be jndi
cious to read such a notice, but sug.
gested that if it was printed copies
of it might be distributed at the door
of the vestry on the evening Of the
entertainment. -.
'Yes," said the editor, "but it
would attract more attention in the
middle of sermon. 1t will interest
a large number Of your congregation
a md help a good cause; an d
besides, so much money is spent
upon the Chronicle that I don't see
how the owner can afford to print

AMERICAN WHEAT IN SPAIN.
exc1oement In barcelona Over the Ar.
rival or = Cargo Of American wheat.

J WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-According to q dis
batch received at the Department OF State
|rom the American consul at Barcelona, the
Ekst cargo OF American wheat ever received
Ia that city arrived there about the middle OF
November. Great interest was excited In
Barcelona thereby. Samples were freely and
handled on the Exchange on the
bay Of arrival. and 1t was Immediately recog-
kized as equal to Black Sea and Hungarian
wheat. The cargo consisted Of 1900 bushels
md sold at 10 francs per fifty-five Kilograms,
& about 81 90 per 40 pounds; Il appears
prise were highly pleased, This is the first
largo that was ever brought. to Barcelona In
IN English steamer. The freight upon the
same amounted to $4,000. and the same
Steamer was again chartered to bring an
bther cargo OF wheat from New York.
The consul knew OF one firm who had en-
kaQed three English steamers to bring them
{argoes of American wheat to Barcelona, and
J was thought that about twenty Ave cargoes
would arrive during the season, all in English
<teamers. The consul reiterates his former
Epihions upon the necessity OF direct Ameri-
an steamship communication with Spain and
.heother countries bordering on the Mediter-
3anean. With such communication new and
Important markets could be opened up to
American products and manufactures. AS
) IS now, we are indebted to the fact that
British steamers find 1t profitable to bring
American wheat to Barcelona for this new
I0velopment of our trade. Fifteen cargoes of
theat from the Black Sea were afloat for
Barcelona on the day on which this first car~
% Of American wheat arrived.

BROOKLYN.
Deecher on Our Indian system-ReccptiOn
or German Socialists.

BROOKLYN. Dec. 3O.-Beecher, In the course
Of sermon yesterday, referred to the policy
OF the United States toward the Indians. He
said that to them we send Gospel, and with
them we make treaties, and, In our after deal
ings with them, we violate every principle of
the Gospel. The nation had shown itself ut
terly unable to take care OF the Indians, but
had given them over to the 'bummers" OF
civilization, who provoke quarrels, and then
the nation starts out armed bands to destroy
the Indians. On judgment day no nation will
stand more infamous for atrocities, injustice
and bloodshed and cruelty unprovoked, than
this proud, liberty-loving United States of
America
A large number Of Socialists last night
welcomed Henry Ellsman and Florian Paul,
two Socialists recently expelled from Ger
many by order of the police. Ellsman de-
nounced Bismarck and the Emperor William,
and said that Socialism had made great pro-
gress in this country. He advocated the
establishment OF Socialistic papers as a means
OF extending the movement. Paul asserted
thati Hoedel and Modelling were agents Of
Bismarck, who were employed to frighten
the Emperor in order to induce him to carry
out the policy OF the Chancellor.

Resolued, That this chamber, while affirm
ing its thorough belief in the principles Of
true free trade between nation and nation,
views with apprehension the great decrease In
the value OF British exports and manufac-
lures, and the vastly increasing proportions
that imported manufactures bear to them I;
and is of opinion that as no foreign nation will
at the present time receive our goods duty
free, we should impose duty on their manu-
factures of sufficient amount to be on the one
hand fair source Of revenue, and on the
other to maintain to this country the manu-
facture of those goods for which we are
equally adapted, while admitting duty free all

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O. Blaine's bloody
shirt committee held an animated session
this morning, at which 1t was resolved, after
much debate, to proceed to New Orleans next
Thursday. Teller, Of Colorado, who has never
been chairman Of any committee before, dis
played all the eagerness and much Of the Inn
pudence Of small boy with his first hobby.
horse, to get to work. Among the foolish
things he said, was that he considered II neces-
sary to be with his committee In New Orleans
during the sessions Of the Potter sub-com.
mittee. When reminded that his committee
was not, even by implication, vested with
Jurisdiction Of the subject matter under con.
slderation by the Potter committee he re-
piled: "Oh, we'll the Potter committee needs
watching, anyhow" On account Of this and
other silly speeches, Tellers debut as com.
mlttee chairman stamps him as very much Of
an ass; In fact, there is only one Republican
on the committee who is really above the
dullest sort Of medlocrity, and that 10 Came-
ron, Of Wisconsin.
There is no doubt that Jack Whartons
prospects for retention have materially Inn
proved during the past week. The applicant
for his succession has been a great card In
Jacks favor. He ls not out Of danger, how
ever.
The Postmaster General has ordered daily
mail service on the Houston road, between
New Iberia and Orange, to begin January 1.
The statement Of Penn and others, pub
lished In the DEMOCRAT Of Friday, relative to

is possible that the matter will be brought be-

OD0NovAN ROssA's REQUEST.
Indignation In Ireland Over the Refusal
Of the English Government to Allow
ROssA to Return to Ireland to Die.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Dspatches from Dublin
represent that no little indignation is felt and
expressed there by Home Rule and National
lists in consequence OF the refusal of the
Home Secretary to grant the application Of
the wife of O'Donovan Rossa for permission
for her husband to return home to die. 1t is
said that Rossa's health is completely UNDER
mined that his recovery Is out of question.
and that the few months OF life still re-
naming to him could only be prolonged for a
little while by his return to his native land.
Mrs. Rosa In making her application to the
Home Secretary said that she would under
take. on the part of her husbands friends,
that no demonstration should attend his ar
rival in the island, and that he merely de-
sired to come home to die. Mr.. Cross, how
ever, has peremptorily refused this petition,
and the Nationalists are declaring that his
action was unnecessarily cruel.

NEW YORK.
A Forgotten Hero and Victim Of the
Revolutionary war.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O-It appears, by the
correspondence In the Sun to-day, that the
publication OF Cyrus Fields formal offer to
put up monument where Major Andre was
hanged and buried raised storm " protests.
The correspondence brings to mind the fact
that the body Of the young patriot and hero
Capt. Nathan Hale has lain In nameless and
unknown grave since he was hanged In New
York. and that Congress could never be per-
suaded to commemorate his services, and
that. on the contrary, In 1891 the British gov
ernment appointed q commission to journey
to America to remove the remains OF Andre
from the grave that was dug beneath the gal
lows under which he was hanged, and subse-
quently reinterred them with royal honors
In Westminster Abbey
James Fish, Of the Marine National Bank,
on Saturday subscribed the first 500 for q
monument In this city to Hale.
