The AlliteratOrs,

We want to welter in the blood of the
blamed blatherskites who perennially
persist in aiming at ~aptalliteration's
artful aid" in all articles appearing in
their particular papers. We want to
welcome all well-wishers OF our common
country, of our corrupted common
wealth, and our beloved Boston to our
aid in Selling upon this sign OF SEN
sationalism, and dreadfully drubbing
the driveling, dreary, and drooling draft,
and driving it from the columns of con-
temporary colocations of composition.
How direfully and distressingly dis
gushing to the lover of light or lofty
literature to be pertinaciously and per-
petually pestered with some such SEN
tence as Dear Daniel Drew Dead" or
"The Boston Batters Beaten Beauti-
fully" or "The Fire-Fiend Furious"
or Murky Murder Mangles the Mortal
Names of More Massacred Men, There
is kind of meaningless, musical mad
ness about this literary lunacy that de-
cidedly deceives its dcvotees. They
think they are doing doughty deeds
with their queasy, querulous, and quiz
otic quills; whereas they but mechani-
cally manipulate meaningless maunder-
ings, marrying meretricious mouthing
and mournful mutte,ings with men:
dacious and mediocre matter. Out on
the'outro and outrageous outpouringa
of these outcasts, these outlaws. Gust
them if you can; outdo them if you
can't.-Bosto7' Transcript.

Tobacco In the Heu.UOOst.

A French gentleman has developed
q theory that the inhalation of tobacco
smoke by fowls causes their flesh to as
sumo wonderfully white color and be-
come very tender at the same time. He
accordingly shut up a chicken in his
fowl-house, and set fire to a store OF
~caporal," which he left burning in the
place. Tie young fowl, SO far from
being averse to the odor of the narcotic,
was inclined to try its taste as well as
its smell, and had in q few days time
consumed 10 much "caporal" that its
flesh was not only whitened, but abso-
lutely ~nicotinized" with poison. To it
as it stood-probably in rather stupid
state-upon its perch entered one night
an adventurer. The precious bird was
carried of, plucked, cooked and eaten,
and . abort time otter breakfast the
thief was seized With violent and intol-
erable pains. He rushed to the doctor,
needless of the necessity which would
arise Of disclosing his nocturnal esca.
pade. He waa found to have been poi
soned by the nicotine contained in the
flesh Of the fowl, aud was with some
difficulty saved from death.

The Rise Of Ntock.Jobbine. e.

Stock. .jobbers and stock-iobbing took
their rise in the end of the seventeenth
century, and, like Pallas, they seem to
have sprung forth full-grown from the
brain OF their progenitors. The last
few years OF that century were indeed
years to be much remembered in the
financial history of this country. In
1852 the loan OF 81, 100000 laid :he first
foundation OF the national debt. In
1894 the first charter was granted to
the Bank of England. The currency of
the country was reformed in 1894, and
to meet the deficiency of coin the first
Exchequer bill was issued in 1896. The
charter Of the old East India Company
was renewed in 1893; the charter to the
new East India Company was granted
in 1893. The abortive scheme Of the
Land Bank was started in 1857; the ILL.,
starred Darien expedition was planned
in 1893. Together with these greater
ventures came the shoal of smaller fry
which never fail to follow in the wake
OF any great speculative movement. In
1892, England, says Macaulay, witnessed
for the first time those phenomena with
which experience has made us familiar.
Then comes list of the companies
brought out, described with all the
picturesqueness of detail in which
Macaulay SO excels. The list is q
strange one-not SO strange, perhaps,
as the list of 1890 and scarcely stranger
than some of the schemes which in the
last ten years have sought admission to
the London Stock Exchange. In 1892
there was Copper Company which
proposed to explore the mines CT En-
gland, and held out hope that they
would prove not less valuable than
those Of Potosi. In 1873 there was the
Gold Company, Limited" for work
ing an extinct gold mine in Wales.
which actually fingered on in existence
till 1878, though it never obtained
either a settlement or quotation from
the Committee of the Stock Exchange.
In tho means used for floating these
new schemes, the promoters of the
seventeenth century seem to have been
but little way behind their successors
in the nineteenth. In Shedwell's play
of the Volunteers; or, The Stock. Job
bers," brought out in 1892, all doubts
as to whether it be godly or not to hold
shares In a company for bringing over
Chinese rope-dancers are set at rest by
the reflection that the shares will sell
well, and then the holders need not
care whether the dancers come over or
no.-BlackaC00d's MGQazine.

deed, from the outset, it became manifest
that nothing but u steam engine and
plenty OF water could adequately cope
with ting rapidly spreading confag grafton.
The citizens had long talked of the i'm
porsance and necessity Of making provis-
ION against tiic, but as in hundreds OF
similar cases, nothing had been done,
and aImest in the twinkling Of an eye,
and apparently without moments .
forewarn'ng the emergency had arisen
which proved that they had rested too
securely in their presumed or fancicd
security. The mistake Of the past was
seen IN an instant, but too late to admit
Of remedy. From the time the fire was
first discovered until the last building
was but mass of smoking ruins, scarce
~ an hour had elapsed. Indeed, manv
now estimate the time in which the
flames completed their devastating circuit
as not exceeding thirty OF at most forty
five minutes.
The tro, as above stated, originated in
the rear OF the Nlskern hotel, and is SUD-
posedto have started in a pile Of cornstalks
adjoining the stable. The theory most
generally accepted as to to its origin
is that 1t sprung from spark from pass
ing freight train which was blown bv
the prevailing west wind and lodged in
the heap Of. inhammablc matter above
spoken of: Once started the progress
was so rapid that the citizens did not cv-
en- bring out their hook and ladder COM
peny, which is the only apparatus p1o ovid
cd by the city authorities ter use in sim.
liar emergencies.
Upon the arrival of the M1nneapolis
steamer, tho work Of destruction was
complete, and Of course nothing remain
cd to be done. Had the steamer arrived
in timc it is doubtful whether she could
have extended much aid on account of
the scarcity Of water.

United States Marshal Fitxsimmons
expressed himself as astonished at tba
wonderful strength developed bv the
sentiment for Grant among all classes.
The strongest Grant influence. per-
haps, in Georgia is Judge o. A. Loeb
rane, one of the most remarkable man
in Georgia. He is thoroughly indie
pendent in politics, voting either wav
as he pleases. He has had a Demo.
cratic nomination for Congress since
the war, is now discussed as the Inde-
pendent candidate for Governor. and
IS being openly pressed as q candidate
tor Vice President on the ticket With
Grant.
Judge Lochrane says that he has been
astounded at the strength developed
by the Grant movement among tha
Democrats. and feels sure that Grant
can carry Georgia against any man that
is nominated by either party.
The Republican leaders are puzzled
at the strange turn things have taken.
and do not know how to meet it. Thev
seem to understand that if a non-parti-
san President is elected the Southern
Democrats will get the Offices. They
say that Sherman will beat Grant for
the nomination in the South, but they
do not believe this. Grant will carry
the Republican party in the South like
a whirlwind, and all opinions other than
this are the batteries Of offceholders for
Sherman's ear. If Grant signifies his
willingness to take the nomination he
will get every delegation from the South.
