The natural world is full OF illusions.
The apparent rising and setting Of the
sun, the gorgeous clouds that prove to
be only a dreary mist when YOU get
caught in them, the mirage, chat reveals
things lying below the horizon. and
shows us ships sailing keel up in the air,
the full mOOn, which, as it energies from
the horizon, appears TO be twice as large
as il does when il is over our heads,
while, If looked st through a tube or
measured by an instrument, is found to
be Of precisely the same diameter, the
coming together to q point Of two right
lines when seen in perspective, the mis-
take Of supposing the train in which we
are seated to be in motion when another
train at our side begins to start, the de-
ceptive idea that we have Of distance, as
in the instance of lofty mountain, which
may seem to be close at hsnd, when, in
fact, it is scores Of miles away; these
are illusions OF sight that are familiar to
us all. There are other forms Of optical
illusion, which depend upon the princi-
pie that motion may be quicker than
sight, such as the extraordinary tricks Of
the Iuggler, or prestidigitatOr, which is
now the fayorite title Of the professors
Of this science, the continuous circle of
FIRE produced by whirling lighted stick
in the air, and the fantastic movement Of
painted figures in the popular toy known
as zOotrope. Aud again, the most mar
velOus illusions may be the result Of an
excited fancy, as when one sees specters
and bobgoblins.

One Hundred and Six.

The death of Somer Griffin. at Lodi,
Ohio, at the age of log, is received. The
local journals give some interesting par
hculars about the man. He died at last
from the effects of fall while splitting
wood in his back yard-a vigorous oe-
oupation, surely, for a man OF his age.
But Tor this accident, it is thought, he
woUld have lived five or six years longer.
He was a native of the village of Sims
bury, Hartford county, Conn. and re-
sided there until he was forty-six, when
he started West in midwinter with his
family, carrying his worldly goods in a
box on an old sled, accompanied by his
wife and five children. In ten weeks he
reached Medina county, Ohio, put up a
log cabin, and made it his home for
many years, removing at last to Lodi,
ten miles distant. He was thrice mar
ried, and had twelve children by his
three wives. He was seventy.two when
he took his last wife, who was forty
years his junior, who bore him three
children. and who survives him. He
always drank tea and coffee, though he
never smoked or chewed tobacco. He
was never i'll single day in his very
long life until after his fall, when he
was confined 10 his bed five or six weeks.
In politics he had always taken a warm
interest, having cast his maiden vote
for Washington on his second accession
to the presidency, in 1898. He is said
TO have been the eldest man in America,
having been born April %, 1772.

SAD BUT JUST.

According to the best Republican authority
tho Federal election laws are neither sec
tional nor partisan, nor arc they. in the
slightest particular, beyond Tn" constitutional
limits of the Legislative power. Congress
was specially authorized to enact them, and
has used it's power IN just and impartial
manner. The laws it has passed. In tho exer-
else Of the constitutional authority delegated
il. bear upon all parts OF the country alike, and
their sole purpose the preservation OF the
purity and freedom OF presidential and con-
pressional elections is one Of which all
Americans should enthusiastically approve.
Az to the merits and the constitutionality
of the election laws. the Republican press is
unanimous The only fault they have to find
with them is that they have not been, and
some say cannot be, enforced. They do not
deduct from this that they are impractcablc;
indeed, they will not confess this, though
thew prove very conclusively that this is the
| sole reason why they have not been enforced
and can never be- These laws say that no
mans right to vote shall be abridged because
| he Is a negro; but they do not say that every
negro shall vote the Republican ticket, and
| in this they are sadly deficient. Negro suf-
! fragc Is protected to the great peril and dis
tress of the Republican party This is all
wrong The worthless who have In charge the
party affairs very naivelytinquire: What
do we care about negro suffrage? These laws
were originally enacted, as every intelligent
man knows, for the benefit Of the party and
not of the negroes. If the negroes change, OF
course the laws must bc changed
If the law cannot be SO construed as tc
make negroes vote the Republican ticket
then, as Blaine would say, the letter "killeth
the spirit of all this legislation, and for this
they all aver the Democratic party is respon
sible.
We do not see what there is in this for The
Democrats to be ashamed OF, yet the New
York Times tells us such is the condition Q
affairs, and that the Democrats have
paralyzed the laws by means which, for au
dacity, ingenuity and cruelty, have nevel
been surpassed.

Some of the papers arc making complaints
against Secretary Thompson for having ten
dered Grant dead head trip to India on q
United States man of-war. These complaints
are most unjust, as Ulysses, through his man
Robson, spent more money on our navy than
any other President. The expenses Of the
navy during Grants eight years of admins
tration were no less than 1882 ,i9G,033 AZ.
After having spent this immense fortune in
building rotten ships for the United States,
1t Is the least that the government can do to
tender Ulysses a man-of-war free whenever
he wants to take a pleasure trip or an excur-
