| ALL the testimony goes to show that
the boy Willie Anderson, who murdered ms
three relatives at Waynesville, Ohio, was in a
semi-deranged state of mind from the reaaihg z
| of Observation-Disclosures literature. All ms most
admired heroes were infamous scoundrels ana
criminals for whom the assassination oi a ie"
people would be only an exhilaratinS recreA-
ton If Young Anderson had an accompiice,
and there is some evidence, although b. no
means conclusive, that he did, 1t must nave
been in the person of some other iunatlc iike
himself as there can be conceived no possible
| cause or motive for the deed.

THE Pittsburgh Telegraph tells how
n restaurant keeper got rid of the flies that in
| Tested his place The doors and windows were
| closed and a train of very tine gunpowder was
| laid in narrow stripes over the floor, and the
| sDaccs between the stripes were carefully
| PAINTED with molasses. In an incredible snort
| time all the flies in the room seemed to be on
! the floor, enjoying the luxurious repast so
| temptinrly set before them. 1t was but the
| work on an instant to fire the train the result
when carefully weighed was two pounds three
ounces of dead flies. How many ounces OF
gunpowder were used is not stated.

A CONTROVERSY has lately been
| going on in the columns OF a New York paper
| rs 10 whether or no a locomotive can be made
| to travel a mile a minute. One correspondent
asks question, which if answered correctly,
will settle the question "The circumference of
| a driving wheel, the diameter of which Is o4
feet is 7.29SS feet, therefore, at each revolution
of the wheel provided there Is no Shipping on
| the track) the engine is propelled forward a
distance equal to the circumference OF the
wheel. TO travel $3.50 feet tor mile) in sixty
| seconds the driving wheel must reyolye 3.O9
| or nearly times per second making distance
| of So feet in one second. Now, the question Is,
| can the driving wheel of an engine reyolVe On
the track nearly six times in one second, handl
capped as it is by the weight OF the engine with
! 4 train of cars attached!

TIE Canadian papers are congrat-
ulating themselves on the revival of the lum-
bes trade. The improved condition of bust
ness is entirely due to the demand Tor lumber
in the United States. The stocks at the mills
have been mainly sold for shipment to this
country, notwithstanding the heavy duty i'm
posed by our Government on Canadian lumber.
american capitalists are largely interested in
numbering operations in Canada, where the
facilities of water transportation for floatlng
logs to the point of sale and manufacture are
such that thew more than compensate for the
hostile legislation intended to deprive them of
n home market. The tariff, in this instance,
certainly operates to the advantage OF our own
lumberinen, but just as clearly to the dlsad-
vantage of every consumer OF lumber IL is
in this way that the road TO general prosperity
is often barricaded by distractions set up in
the interest of special classes.

A GENIAL orthodox clergyman, who
has a charge in the lower part Of Nenango
county, found himself in dilemma few days
ago. In his neighborhood there IS family OF
five brothers all grown TO manhood and all
preachers of the Gospel. One OF these broth
ers, who lives in Iowa, came home on visit.
Our clergyman had known him when a'boy,
and was glad to see him; so glad that he invited |
him to preach for him on the following Sunday
The Iowa preacher was pleased to comply. |
Then they talked awhile, and our Presbyterian
preacher said to the other, Let's see, your a
Methodist, believe" NO slr," sad Iowa,
"I'm Universalist." "Well," said the Pres
byterian brother, ~ asked you TO preach for
ME next Sunday, but reflection, | can't let
you do it. If you should talk to these people
around here, and get them TO believe there is
no hell, my job would be gone But I'll let
you make a prayer" They compromised on
that.-.SeDctdt0r.

THE new fashion in politics which
De Young and Kalloch recently started in San
Francisco promises to prove popular. DE
Youngs first imitator is a young man named
Haskell and the Kalloch in this case was "a
weli-known political manipulation" named
Schwartz who combines statesmanship with
the sale of cigars Schwartz had called Has
kell an Objectionable name, at least so Haskell
claims, and he was invited to retract. Instead
of SO doing, however, Schwartz denied the
charge. whereupon Haskell drew his pistol and
shot him dead. If this event had occurred in
Mexico it would be set down a striking Illus
traton of the methods of settling personal diff |
fcrences which prevail in half-civilized com
munitv. California would doubtless object to
the imputation of being only half civilized,
but the Kallock-De Young and Schwartz has-
keil affairs show the existence of social condi-
tions which could not prevail in well-organ-
lied community.

ONE of the secrets OF the variety |
and success of American manufacturers is the
readiness with which the manufacturers
receive suggestions from their customers. If q
buyer from a distance says that an article |
would better meet the wants of his locality If
certain alterations were made, the American |
maker hastens to supply him with the thing |
he wants. Not unfrequentiy he will send
competent man to study the conditions of the |
distant region, that the required adaptation
hn lflniGn..
tirely new contryance to supply the need. In
England and other European shops the maa
who wants something new constructed, or an
alteration made in some standard article, is |
very apt TO be snubbed They have no time
TO waste on such experiments; and even ifthe
new device should prove n slight improve
ment, they think it wouldn't pay to alter pat
terms and machinery to make it. The result is,
American manufacturers are not only monop- |
olizng the home trade by the superior quality
and fitness of their products to meet home
wants, but by the same tactics they are gain
ing a permanent footing in foreign markets.

THE return of Col. Thomas A. Scott
to resume his responsible duties as the official
and practical head of the first corporation of
the continent, will be welcomed not only by
his very large circle of personal friends but
also by legitimate business circles throughout
the country He has now enjoyed a year of
repose abroad, and comes back fully prepared
to resume his active labors. 1t is gratifying
to know that the many and grave complications
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company arising
out of the revulsion of 1878, that called the
violent halt in the tide of simulated prosperity,
were surmounted before Col. Scott accepted
rest by foreign journey; and now he returns
to duty none the less responsible but vastly less
exacting, and he can perform his great work
| without undue strain upon his energies. With
recuperated health, with his corporation re-
stored to safe and permanent successful policy,
and with the revival of industry and trade that
is manifest in all channels of legitimate enter
prise Col. Scott returns TO his post TO be greeted
| on every side with the MOST grateful appreoia-
| ton OF the consummate ability and unfa!ering
| fidelity which have marked his administration.
