The following day, as the hands of the

She was heavily yelled and dressed in

Americas Fifteen Inventions
Now York Sun

An English journal frankly gives credit
to the American genius for at least fit
teen inventions and discoveries which, it
says, has been adopted all over the world.
These triumphs of American genius are
thus enumerated: First, the cotton gin;
second, the planning machine; third, the
grass mower and grain reaper; fourth,
the rotary printing press; fifth, nayiga-
ton by steam; sixth, hot air or caloric
engine; seventh, the sewing machine;
eighth, the India rubber industry; ninth,
the machine manufacture of horseshoes;
tenth, the sand blast for carving; elev-
enth, the gauge lathe; twelfth, the grain
elevator; thirteenth, artificial ice manu-
facture on large scale; fourteenth, the
electromagnetic and its practical applica'
tion; fifteenth, the composing machine
for printers. 1t is not often that Amerl
can achievements in this direction receive
due credit from such a source.

Fatal Results of a Long-kept secret.

The Dubuque Qowa) Times relates the
following story: A wealthy couple here
had lived together in perfect peace for
forty-one years. While sitting in the
parlor one evening, not long ago, the
husband surprised his wife by saying, Il
am going to tell you a secret that you
never heard before" There was brief
pause, as the lady and near relative
who CHANGED to be present awaited the
disclosure, and the husband contiirucd:
"You will be surprised to hear that |
had another wife before I married you"
Startled and aghast, the wife asked,
Gam l ten not your lawful wife?'
L"You are, my loved and lawful
wife" was the prompt reply; "my tirst
wife died four years before I came tc
Dubuque and met you" Then he re,
lated how he had married his first wife
and been summoned TO his home to tino
her dead. Then he went West and set
tied in Dubuque, where the second ro
nance of his fife came about. Six year
ago he received letter from the woman
who had nursed his first wife. She wrot
that she was upon her death bed, ant
could not rest until she had confessed
her share in base crime. The wife ha'
died, but she had left an infant son
Through large bribe profered by tn
dead woman's father, the husband wa
told that the child had died with ii
mother.
The father was wealthy but hi
daughters death left him childles
and he took this means of supplyin
= himself with son. His real father VIZ
anxious to see him, and the second vii
, was thus told the truth for the first tim
and asked to go East to pay the fir
wiie's son visit. When the story WI
) told the wife said in low tones: "Sin'
t you kept it from me so long, l wou
f rather you had never repeated it." III
e excitement caused by the recital prove
d fatal. In two days she was dead.

THE GOOD AND BAD OF IT.

1t is interesting to note with what
broadly different views the people of the
United States, outside of California, re-
gard the new Constitution recently |
adopted by that State, taking the news
papers as the exponent of public opinion. |
Of course the people Of California have
their nps.. II :,
~. peuullar personal and political
standpoints from which this instrument
is Judged, but it would seem as though
the outside world, Judging dispassion-
ately of some Of the singular and novel
provisions that are introduced. ought not
to differ 50 very widely as they do or
prophesy such different results.
The Bo ton Traveller thinks that Cali
fornia's action in changing her organic
law is ridiculous, "and that it would ex-
cite only mirth were the proceeding one
that affected only that silly State" 1t
thinks that the consequences may be
~anarchy and civil war as widespread as
any that was known in the years OF the
secession struggle inasmuch as many OF
the provisos of the new charter are
against the requirements of National
law" as well as against the rights of prop
erty. 1t calls it the "Madmen's Consti-
tution," and predicts an early collision
between the State and National forces.
The Traveller comedies that these ag
gressive and objectional measures are moi
forced upon the people by that class o.
men who are commonly regarded as "tht
dangerous classes" the Communists anc
Socialists, but by the farmers, who hav'
the greatest interest in the maintenance
of order and property rights. 1t foresee
danger that other States may follow il
the footsteps of California, and fears tina
"the great success of Bedlam on the Pa
cifc shore is calculated to make Bedlan
ties active elsewhere"
The Louisville Courier-Journal look
upon the new Constitution from an Ell
tirely different standpoint and mos
heartily approves it. 1t says that fo
years the people of California have bee
subjected to the most barefaced and o.
ganzed robbery by and rings, railroa
rings, whisky rings and every ring col
ceivable in this age of rings, and ths
"the formation of the new organic la
by the Convention last winter was tt
crystalization of popular indignatio
against wrongs which they believe
could be only redressed by such radio
changes as this instrument embodies.'
1t says of these rings that have heret
fore been all powerful in California, tn
they embody more dangerous commu
ism than was ever preached by all Il
sand-lot orators of San Francisco. L
