In a recent German debate Herr Tiede-
mann stated that there were in Germany
100000 landed proprietors, 100000 Of
whom were untaxcd as having Incomes under
sos year. Out Of the actual taxpayers
there we're not more than 10000 whose in
comes exceeded $50 a year. Forced sales OF
lands and farms are of daily occurrence, and
general distress prevails.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is seventy. He
has been a national benefactor, and it hardly
seems possible that the genial author of so
much literary sunshine has grown aged, and
gray, and wrinkled and Worn. That he has
not lost his felicity of expression, however,
was abundantly demonstrated at the breakfast
in his honor, given on Wednesday, though the
verses read on the occasion We're tinged with
an indiscribable sadness that made many
moist eyes, we doubt not, in the audience
that listened to their reading. The closing
stanzas were as follows:
1 come not here your morning hour to sadden,
A limping pilgrim, leaning on his staff
l who have never deemed 1t sin to gladden.
This vale of sorrows with a wholesome laugh.
If word of mine another's gloom has bright
Through my dumb lips the heaven-sent mes
If hand of mine another's task has lightened,
1t felt the guidance that it dare not claim.
But o! my gentle sisters, o! my brothers,
The thick-sown snowiakes hint of tolls re-
lease;
These feebler pulses bid me leave to others
The task once welcome-e evening asks for
peace.
Time claims this tribute silenceinow is golden;
Let me not vex the too long suffering Tyre;
Though to your love untiring still beholden,
The curfew tells me cover up the fire.
And now, with ~sreatful smile and accents cheer
And warmer heart than look or word can tell,
In simplest phrase-these traitorous eyes are
Thanks, brothers, sisters, children, and fare
farewell.

As Miss Frances J. Ferguson sat in the cor
ner of one of the smoking cars on the Third
Avenue Line, in New York, on Friday, she
let her thoughts run upon the improperly of
burning tobacco in the presence of ladies.
Her Indignation grew stronger and stronger
until at last she made up her mind that the
two innocent young men who were smoking
near her gave their long and voluminous puffs
for her particular annoyance. Miss Fergu-
son, who is the manager of the Women's
Employment Society, thereupon stood up and
hit one of the young men in the Mouth
This blow knocked the twenty-cent cigar
which Mr.. Edward B. st. John Henriques
had only half consumed into sparks, ashes
and other smithereens, burning the rich black
moustache of Mr.. E. B. st. j. Henriques and
cutting a fiery furrow in his cheek. When
Miss Ferguson stood before the Police Court,
q few minutes later, she realized for the first
time that she was a law-breaker and wept sad
tears. She was held to answer for assault
and battery, and the punishment will appear
to her all the more bitter now that Mr.. Hen
riques has declared that he " was totally I'M
conscious of the lady's presence in the car
until the time of her unexpected and violent
suggestion of the fact

What We Mean by a BOOM

This word, now in such common use by all
classes of politicians and tradespeople, and
used to signify that politics are in a ferment
and trade rushing, was probably used i'll the
time of Noah, if not anterior to the date OF
that old patriarch. We do not care, however,
to investigate Noah's record, nor to ascertain
what words were in use about the time he
was gathering his great family into the ark,
but having once got them all safely in, and
the doors and windows closed, it is quite safe
to assume thai when he heard the rushing OF
the mighty waters, and felt the ark rising
with the tide, he could not but, if he did not
exclaim-there was a big 6 boom on some
where! Hele are some definitions of the
word which we find in Webster, Worcester
and elsewhere:
BooM-To rush with violence, as a ship
under a press OF sail.-We6ster.
She comes BOOMING down before it.-1ot'
ten.
The Bittern BooMs it in the reeds.-COt-
ten.
And even Tennyson in one of his poems
says:
AT even the beetle BooMETH
Athwart the thicket lone.
Our own Washington Irving, in one OF his
fine descriptions speaks of,
Alarm guns BooMING through the night air.
Hillhouse, in one Of his finest poems speaks
Falconer, also, in one OF his earlier poems,
says:
Ger the sea-beach the ooMIN waters roar.
When used by lumbermen, a boom is UNI
derstood to mean a chain of logs or rather a
succession of logs fastened together by chains
and used in a stream to intercept logs in their
passage down
Worcester says:
BooM-To rush with violence, as a ship

ESCAPE.


Some men cannot be killed except in the
ordinary way. They may be blown up, shot
down, shipwrecked, tossed over a precipice,
thrown down a shaft or disposed OF in various
and sundry ways, any one OF which would
kill an ordinary individual, but. they are sell
dom killed. Mark Quinn, a miner, employed
in the Ell Paso mine, on Freyer Hill, is one OF
this class. Mark took a terrible tumble yes
terday. He had just fired off a blast at the
bottom of the shaft, 225 feet below the sur
face, and had started down in the bucket or
tub, which was being lowered by a man
named Patrick Roach. When about ten feet
from the windlass the brake bolt broke and
for a moment it looked like Quinn's time had
come. Bnt Roach, with rare presence Of
mind, caught hold of the detached rope, at
the lower end of which his friend Quinn
hung suspended. "Hold Oh there, Mark, me
boy" shouted Pat, "and I'll bring We up"
Quinn held on, but Pat found it impossible to
hold him. Little by little the the rope slipped
through his hands. He held on like grim
death, but the cruel rope dragged through his
grasp, tearing away skin and flesh. Finding
he could not sustain the weight, he despair
ingly cried, 81 can't hold on no longer, pard
good bye,' and let go. Down went Quinn
into the dark, deep abyss-a shere fall of
nearly two hundred and twenty-five feet. Pat
started off for. help to take out what he sup.
posed to be a mangled corpse. The surprise
| of the rescuers may be imagined when going
down the shaft, they found Mark Quinn al;
most unhurt. He was able to walk home to
his cabin without assistance LeadviUe

Miss Pallas Eudora Won Blurky
She didn't know chicken from turkey
High Spanish and Greek she could fuently
speak,
But her Knowledge Of poultry was murkey.
The could tell the great-uncle of Moses,
And the dates of the wars of the Roses,
And the reason of things-whyt the Indians wore
rings
In their red, aboriginal noses.
Why Shakespeare was wrong in his grammar,
And the meaning of Emerson's g Brama,"
And she went chipping rocks with a little black
box,
And a small geological hammer.
She had views on co-education,
End the principal needs of the nation,
md her glasses were blue, and number she
knew
OF, the stars in high castellation.
And she wrote in o Handwriting clerky,
And she talked with an emphasis jerky,
And she painted on tiles I'm the sweetest of styles;
But she didn't know chicken from turkey.

A Leadville~ correspondent writes the Den
yer Tribune: The week past has been the
quietest ever experienced here, the contrast
is so great as to impress even the newcomer;
and the old residents are congratulating them
selves that the worst experiences of Leadville
are over, the lower classes cowed and an era
of order and of law has begun. Nearly
all of those warned by the Vigilantes
have disappeared and left, but there still
remain enough of those who brave public
opinion and remain, and the consequences
will certainly be q repetition of those scenes
which occurred last week. Public opinion
sustains those acts decidedly, n the taste OF
order we nave had for the past two weeks
proves the efficiency of the method"

William Swank, of Pleasant county, West
Virginia, is no ordinary avenger. He "fell
out % with Rufus Ralston, a %neigibor, a year
or so ago, and recently, to make matters
worse, Mrs. Swank procured a divorce from
her husband that she might marry her hus-
bands bitter enemy. On the night OF the
day that Ralston and Mrs. Swank were mar
ried Swank planted his artilley in front of the
Ralston house and fired away. He had made
a small cannon from a three-inch oil well
pipe and had loaded it to the muzzle with
.wagonpins and slugs. The charge made a
gaping hole IN the Notwithstanding, passed
through three partitions, demolished any
amount of furniture and KIN Jcked to pieces
the bed upon which the newly-married couple
were reposing. As it so happened, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralston escaped without bodily damage
and sought refuge in the house Of a friend.

Last week at the old-horse sale OF Wells,
Fargo & Co., at Portland, Or, a young man
purchased a black valise for a dollar or two.
He opened it and found it filled with cloth
ing, also a gold watch and chain, a silver cup
and some very fine jewelry of a miscellaneous
character. Another man paid $50 for a box
of last years almanacs.

Everybody in and around Tuscarawas,
Ohio, is excited over what is spoken of as
"the gradual petrifaction of a two-year-old
son of Joseph Kinsley. Last July the ldgs of
the little one became useless, and from that
time on have so hardened that they present
the solidity as we'll as the appearance of stone.
A living petrifed child was never before
known and the medical men of Tuscarawas
are reported to be dumbfounded.

Mistaken Identity,

If the trunk manufacturers do not quit
making so MANY thousands of valises exactly
alike, somebody is going to get into some
awful trouble about it some time, and some
trunkmaker will be sued for damages enough
to build a court house.
The other day an omnibus full of passen-
GERS drove I'D tow from the Union Depot.
Side by side sat a commercial traveller, named
William Macaby, and Mrs. Winnie G. Dunn
bleton, the eminent lady temperance lecturer.
When the omnibus reached the Barrett House
the commercial missionary seized his vallse
and started out. The lady made a grab after
MIN, and he halted.
" beg your pardon" she said, " but you
have my ~valise."
"You are certainly mistaken, madam, the
traveller said, courteously, but firmly, this
is mine."
"No, sir,' the lady replied firmly, ait is
mine. l would know it among a thousand.
You must not take it."
But the traveller persisted and the lady in
sisted, and they came very near quarrellng.
Presently one of the passengers pointed to a
twin valise in the omnibus, and asked:
"Whose is that ?"
sit isn't mlne," said the traveller; l" it is
Just like it, but this is mine."
"And it isn't mine," said the lady ; " he
has mine, and I'll have it or I'll have the law
on him. It's a pity a lady can't travel alone
in this country without being robbed Of her
property in broad daylight"
Finally, the traveller said he would open
the valise to prove his property. The lady
objected at first, saying she did not want her
vaiise opened in the presence of a crowd Of
strangers. But as there was no other means
of settling the dispute, she at last consented
The traveller sprung the lock, opened the
valise, and the curious crowd bent forward to
see.
On the very top Of everything lay a big fai
flask, half full of whiskey, a deck OF cards
and one or two things that nobody knows the
name of. =.
The traveller was the first to recover hi.
self-possession and speech.
Madam he said, "you are right. Th'
valise is yours. l owe You a thousand apolt
- .# .. .
But the lady had tainted, and the trayele
relocked his valise with a quiet smile. Earl!
in the afternoon a sign-painter downtown
received a note I'M feminine hand, asking
him to come to the Barrett House to mark
red-leather valise in black letters a foot and
half long.-Burdette.

NOT TOO SOON.

The ground now begins to look little
like putting in the seed once more. Re-
member that "Haste makes waste" and
that it will pay you we'll to wait until
the ground is in proper condition to pillow
and pulverize by the blowing. Land
plowed while wet and cold will not do
much more than half as we'll as that
which is dryer and warmer when it is
worked. / once had little experience
in that matter which taught me lesson.
l plowed about half field very early
in the spring, when l knew we'll enough
that it was not fit to be worked; but l
had nothing else to do, and thought I
could pulverize it with the harrow after
it had dried off a little. The rest of the
field was plOwed week later. 1t was
all served alike afterward, excepting
that the part plowed first received more
narrowing. and it was all planted at one
time. On that which was plowed first
the seed came up last and grew slowest,
and the yield was two-thirds as much
as the other. The crop on that part of
the field, although well MANFRED, looked
all the season as if it were half starved.
Since then l have believed that the OBJ
ject of blowing was to pulverlze the soil,
and not merely to turn 1t the other side
up Young Farmer.

A ROBE OF GLASS.

In the large basement room of the
home of S. Isaacs at No. 1884 Mission
street, between Tenth and Eleventh, is
now weaving the most wonderful fabric
of which the voluminous history of unique
feminine apparel furnishes any account.
1t is the material, as flexible as the finest
of silk and as durable as Blue Jeans
Williams favorite stuff for trousers, for
a lady's dress. and it is woven by the
world renowned artist in glasswork, Prof.
Theodore Greiner out of innumerable
colored strands of glass first spun by
himself. Compared with the completed
garment. the mythical glass slipper of
the fabulous Cinderella will sink into as
insignifcance as an exhausted Napa soda
bottle. A reporter called on him recent
ly, and he very courteously showed him
the entire process. Breaking an extra
piece out of the soiled bottom of an al
ready broken tumbler. he submitted it
to the heat of a blow-pipe until it became
incandescent and soft. Then with a
"stick" of glass he touched the moulten
portion, and with an expert motion which
may be described as a flip he carried a
thread so fine that it was almost invisi-
BILE till it caught on the disc of slowly
revolving wide wooden wheel of nineteen
feet circumference. At certain number
of revolutions the strand was complete.
and the wheel was stopped and it is re-
moved. 1t then consisted of innumera-
BILE softly glistening threads, finer than
the finest floss. These strands are spun
of all colors, and are then washed in a
solution of water and beet.root sugar,
which toughens them. The spinning is
all done and occupied many weeks. The
weaving is done on an old-fashioned
hand-loom, the warp being nineteen feet
long and the wool four feet, so that the
material will cut to advantage. Only
about ten inches day can be woven, and
the whole piece will not be completed
until some time in April.-San Francis.
