Ccrpse in the RESERVOIR.

st. Louis Times: ga whopping big train
load of hungry people came down from Kan
sas City on the North Missouri express last
Sunday night At the R. & L. junction
they disembarked for supper and partook
freely of the salt mackeral and bacon and
eggs with which that locality abounds.
When they got back on the train a
thirstler set of folks never struck water
cooler. The ice-water tasted awful good,
and for an hour or 80 it was nip and tuck
between the bacon and mackeral, parties OF
the first part, and the ice-wster, party OF the
second part. About nine o'clock, how
ever. small, solemn man in
the rear of the last Pullman car in
quired, 10 a loud voice, whether anybody
had noticed any peculiar taste or odor about
the ice-water and he passed US a copy of q
Kansas City paper which briefly but graphi-
cally described the finding of a putrid male
corpse in the waterworks reservoir the might
before. Every passenger on the train had
been freely imbibing that water and every
passenger read that article. 1t was a grea
and sweeping triumph for the mackerel anC
bacon from that time on through the rest O
the long, weary watches OF the night. Wher
the passengers rushed out of the train In st
Louis, yesterday morning, and tackled The
hydrant at the union depot. their throttle
valves and tanks were go not that the waite,
slZZled and steamed all the Way down.

An EneIish Huaband.

It is a common boast with English people
and their. admirers that English women are
the only wives who are real companions to
their husbands. We are told that they can
ride, walk, sail, and climb Alps; that they
wear stout shoes and seasonabie clothes; that
it is delightful to behold them sharing their
husbands healthy pastimes. 1t is true that
English ladies do all these things; it is touch
ing to think of the trouble they must take
from their earliest years to fit themselves to
be the companions of men. Anybody who
has seen one of them in the full enjoyment
of her privileges-comiDg into Chamouni
after crossing the Coul du Geant, for in
stance, hot, draggled, with a cold in her
head and no skin on her nose, trudging halt q
furlong in the rear of silent, cross looking
man-must have been impressed with their
ideal of human felicity.

The Quinsne steal

The Medical and Surgical Repoy-ter pub-
lished at Philadelphia, the headquarters of
the quinine monopolists, says: "The fortune
of the late I. 81. Powers is estimated between
Eve and ten million dollars. Very much of
this was made on quinine, and the move
rnent to repeal the duty on that drug Is one
which should meet the approval of all un-
biased physicians. At present the sick are
obliged to pay more than twice as much for
this medicine as they would were this duty
removed. The excess goes INTO the pockets
of the already enormously rich manufacturers.
1t Is a striking instance of the gross injustice
of protective duties. In fact, it is encourage
ing monopoly of the most unfair descrIp-
tion."

Washington special to the Cincinnati Ga

him persistently from the first opportune
moment as a Presidential candidate before

actively looking over the ground, and some
work has already been done, both In the ma
tional committee and out of it. 1t Is also
understood that the senator is in the hands
of his friends tor the purpose they have in

him with perfect confidence that he would
have an honest administration, and that in
regard to all pending national issues he

when the milliner Mary Ann
Goes to the city Manhattan,
Even before she gets 80 far
As her seat in the foremost palace car,
And settles herself for an easy spin,
The lord Of her bosom, Nose-in-Bloom,
Orders a feast In the inner room,
Where milliner- maids with wicked eyes
Bend over bonnetS and frills and ties.
Shagbark, peanut, and chinQuapin;
Limburger cheese, Bologna sausage;
Tripe. and herring, and hard-beiled eggs;
And bottled lager that pumps the corSage;
And oySteImen with two-Quart kegs
OF SaddlerOcks, sardineS and cream,
And all that the mtlliner palate might dream
Pass in and out OF that inner door.
Scattered over the woTk-rOOm floor
Are ribbons and rucheS. pleattngs and pins;
And sound as OF waEging of jaws begins
To be heard, and the delicate yiands melt.
One stout milliner lOosens her belt,
And scalds with the oyster-broth the tip
OF her dainty nose, and her ruby lip
BreatheS OF Sardine5. But alas! this spread
Not for the milliner came and fled
Not for the milllner Mary Ann,
For she's gone to the city Manhattan.
Then at the tap Of feet on the floor,
An organ-grinder outside the door
Strikes up an air from P5n1f0re;
And to the hoaFse, asthmRtic bars
OF music, rise and fall the stars
OF the swift sweet hoofs. Embryo corns
Bud on each toe, anon to bloom,
And there, in that c1minutive room,
Filled with the scents OF summer morns,
And hair-oil, musk, and Irish stew,
Sits Naughty-Eyes on cane-seat chair,
Singing softly and banging her hair;
And the boss pro tenn. he sits there too.
This when the milliner Mary Ann
Goes to the city Manhattan.

American army found itself before the ram

tanned two hundred thousand inhabitants
and was defended by thirty thousand dis
ciplined soldiers, yet six thousand six hum
dred American soldiers crossed those ram

An official journal says The latest re-

not increased, and energetic measures have
been adopted for its suppression. The
French Government has dispatched a ply
stefan to investigate the disease. The re-
ports that the plague has appeared in Tur-
key are ~unfounded. There is no ground
for q panic, and no danger, for the present,
from arrivals from the Black Sea. At the
Sea Of Azof, nevertheless, the Minister Of
Commerce has ordered q quarantine of
two days, and at the French ports on the
Mediterranean and Algeria, including ar
rivals from the Black Sea and Sea Of Azof,

SUDDEN and mysterious disappearance
are becoming Of alarming frequency over
TIE country. Scarcely a day passes with
out the announcement that some person
has left home and failed to return. Some
times they return as suddenly as they
went. but generally tidings Of them are re-
ceived from some place where unknown
human remains have been found. Like
suicide there are various motives that may
drive . man or woman from their friends,
but these sudden disappearance are gen.
orally due to financial trouble. The OPP
prcssive weight Of threatened ruin and
poverty is too much for minds weakened
BY continual anxiety, and the only relief
seems to be in flying from the trouble.
