This nay seem extravagaut, and
yet its foundations are solid, from
what l see to-day. If the Radicals
fail to bold Maine it will become a
certainty. and the October States of
Ohio, Indiana, Colorado, West Vir-
GINA aud Georgia would probably
all vote for the Hancock State tick
ct. The chances are very decided
to-day that Hancock will receive 287
electoral votes. He may receive
even more, and Garfield will be the
most disastrously defeated candidate
OF a great party In the past thirty
years."

q similar movement, which resulted !
in 100 over the Republicans and

men go into the Hancock movement,
as every indication now portends
they will do, there is scarcely
Northern State, with the exception
perhaps, of Vermont, Nebraska and
Rhode Island, that the Republicans
could be assured Of carrying. AS l
told Senator Blaine and General
Banks, it was a liberal estimate to
concede that General Garfield would
carry ten States. This labor move
ment has developed in California,
and the whole organization has gone
soldly to Hancock. In round num-
bers the Radical vote was $1,000
Democrats, 41,O0O; labor, $4,000
Only about $4,000 will vote for
Weaver at the highest, aud the re-
suit in California will foot up ap-

publican majority was 1900, the
change is rapid. In one county $50

THE CONTEST IN MAINE.

Blaine frankly told me four weeks

Mrs. Benedict's New Industry.

Mrs. Benedict is, we presume, q
widow. At any rate in the glimpse we
have of her life no husband appears
upon the scene, and as Mrs. Benedict
has been engaged in what Mr.. Darwin
calls struggle for existence the failure
of her husband-if she has one-to make
himself felt in that struggle reduces him
to zero, so that we may safely regard
the lady as widow whether or not she
owns tombstone in the cemetery of the
village in which she lives.
Mrs. Benedict's business is that of a
rat-catcher, new profession now fairly
opened to women whom the tyrnnny OF
man excludes from the bar and from
Congress, and one which Mrs. Benedict
at least has made lucrative. There have
been rat-catchers before, and in London
there are men engaged in the business
who will go into dark cellar with a
mysterious sack and by arts known only
to themselves persuade innumerable rats
to adjourn their wall meetings for mass
meeting inside the sack. So also there
are various pastes, potions and powders
sold in all cities, each of which is war.

yet Mrs. Benedict is fairly entitled tC
rank as its inventor at least in an i'm

dignity of profession; she has given {

Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill County,
has just decided a case in his court
which presents some almost forgotten
features OF the law of this State against
swearing. John H. Bashore, an excita-
BILE and somewhat profane citizen of the
county, on a recent occasion got off a
volley of twenty-three separate and dis
tinct oaths, for which he was arrested,
taken before a Justice of the Peace, and,
under the law of April %, 1894, fined
S16.O9. This fine he refused to pay.
He was committed to Jail, and the case
was taken before Judge Pershing on a
writ of certiorari. The act of 1894 pro-
vides that
elf any person of the age of sixteen
years or upward shall profanely curse
or swear by the name of God, Christ
Jesus, or the Holy Ghost, every person
so offending, being thereof convicted,
shall forfeit and pay the sum of sixty
seven cents for every such profane curse
or oath. And whatsoever of the
age of sixteen years or upward shall
curse or swear by any other name or
thing than as aforesaid, and shall be
convicted thereof, shall forfeit and paw
the sum of forty cents for such curse or
OATH"
Exception was taken to the ruling of
the Justice on the ground that the arrest
of Bashore should have been by sum-
mons and not by warrant, and suit
should have been brought by an indi.
vidual informer instead of in the name
of the Commonwealth. These excep.
tons were overruled, the decisions OF
the higher courts being that the action
was properly brought. But the Justice
failed to return the evidence taken be.
fore him, and this omission Judge
Pershing decided to be fatal to the pro
ceedings, and he thereupon reversed the
decision of the magistrate. The point
of the decision, however, is in the pithy
conclusion with which Judge Pershine
wound up his decision. He says:
"The general prevalence of profant
swearing indicates that the statute un
der which this defendant was convicted
had long been buried out of sight. Per
haps its resurrection in this case may
accomplish some good, by showing
those who have no regard for the law 0
God that the law of the land imposes OIL
them a penalty of from forty to sixty
seven cents, to be followed by imprison
ment, accompanied with diet of breat
and water, on refusal to pay for eacl
and every time they pollute the atmos
phere with profanity. "-PsttSbargh Post

A Walk Across the Big Bridge.

A New York correspondent of the
Providence Jour7aaL has been crossing
the Brooklyn Bridge, and describes his
impressions as follows: In our walk
over the bridge we did not pass through
these openings in the tower, but over
the tower itself. The little temporary
bridge consists of STATS. three inches
wide, placed two inches apart. As we
assembled the tower, we could look
down on " all CREATION below, on the
men who looked like pigmies, on the
horse-cars and wagons which looked
like toys. 1t required no little resou-
ton to keep from feeling dizzy, and it
was not particularly inspiring to dwell
too much upon our lofty and sudden
elevation. 1t was strange, too, what
comfort was to be found in the twisted
wires which served as railing and
were within grasp on either side. Ow-
ing to the fervor with which this grasp
was maintained our gloves, which were
comparatively new when we started
became in the course of the journey
complete wrecks. From the anchor to
the tower was by far the most perilous
part. After that, one becomes accus-
toned to the great height and learns to
take bird s-eye view of things with
comparative composure. Mr.. Martin
told us that men were much oftener
overcome with dizziness than women.
This is probably due not to the superb
GRITTY women possess over men in main
tanning their equilibrium, though
possibly they may average better, but
to the fact that few women start out on
such an enterprise without having be-
forehand summoned their powers of
endurance before them and impressed
upon them the Importance of
the occasion; while the man, accus-
toned to do what he pleases, starts
forth rashly, to turn back after the
first few steps, or presses on to declare
when he is halfway over that he would
give every dollar that he possesses to
be safe on land again. However, as
we have just said, it is not SO dreadful
after the first ascent. The portion
which is directly over the water does
not impress you as being so high. The
view is superb, with New York harbor
at your feet and the two great cities
with their miles of brick and mortar
stretching away as far as the eye can
reach on either shore, the trees with
the May freshness of their foliage re-
lieving what might otherwise be a
dreary waste of houses. Way down
below us is the East River with the busy
ferryboats, black with their crowds OF
passengers, many OF whom are looking
us and saying: ''See! some one is way
up there crossing the bridge" We
were over an hour upon our pilgrimage
before we again reached the ground on
the New York shore, and emerged
through the lofty arches of the New
York anchorage.

Our Young Folks.
GRANDMOTHER'S CAP.


WHAT has become of grandmother's cap
She spread with care on the grass one night,
Close by the blossoming lilac-bush,
TO bleach in the dews and moon-beams
white?
Has human malice or elfn guile
Plundered the gossamer web in play?
Or thoughtless winds from the east or west
Waited it far from her sight away?
No answer comes to her faithful search,
From the earth-helds green or the sl1y-fields
blue,
And what has become of her finest cap
Is grandmother's wonder the summer
through.
The robins could tell Dame Redbreast
knows;
For at early dawn, one morning in May,
Seeking her building-stores she came
Where the bleaching lace in the dew-drops
lay.
She seized it, and flew with her helpful mate
TO the half-made nest on the apple-tree,
Where they deity wove it with twigs and
straws,
Chatting and singing in frolicsome glee.
But when the lilac, lily and rose
Had doomed and faded in retinue sweet,
When summer Dirdlings were hedged and
flown,
And autumn winds round the hill-tops beat,
From the leafess boughs of gnarled old
tree
A nest was hanging in ruins forlon;
While t1uttering fragment of lace revealed
Grandmother'S head-dress spoiled and torn.

A Warming to Naturalized Cinnamon.

Ir would not do for Charles Sing or
any of the Cinnamon of this town who
have become citizens to go back to
China. Those North Adams Cinnamon
who are contemplating taking out
papers of naturalization this summer
had better consider well the conse.
quences it they ever think of paying
visit to their native country. Accord
ing to DEGREES recently published by the
authority of the Celestial Empire, any
Chinaman who becomes a citizen of this
country will fare hard. Should he fall
into the hands of the Chinese authori-
ties, he is to he instantly beheaded,
fate which is also to fall upon those who
assisted him in denationalizing himself
The property of such miscreants, i
they have any, is to be confscated, and
their wives and children are to be sold
as slaves. The punishment. if stopped
here, would be too mild to suit the
enormity of the offense, so it is further
added that if the offenders have parents,
grandparents, brothers, sisters or grand
children, these are to be banished to
distant part of the Empire, and if any
one attempts to conceal the crime Of
which these are the penalties, or shell
ter and protect those entitled under
these DEGREES to be punished, he or they
are to be strangled, while an informant
against such offenders is to be rewarded
with the whole of their property

STRAWBERRY sHoRrcAKE.-one egg,

STRAWBERRY SHoRTCAKE.-One egg,
half dinner (not breakfast) coffee
cupful of sugar, and quart cupful of
sweet milk or cream; if milk, piece
of butter as large as walnut, with a
heaping teaspoonful of baking-powder,
and sifted flower sufficient to make a
batter thin, but not running. This will
make two cakes in common sized pie
tin. Have ready, stemmed and layered
in sugar since morning-if for dinner
two quarts of soft ripe berries. Split
the cakes with fork (run the sharp
point of knife round the edge frst)
while hot; dip the berries out of the
juice, and place on the bottom crust;
then drop pieces of butter on the her,
ries, sprinkle with sugar, place on the
top crust, and set in the oven few
minutes to melt the butter. Turn the
juice into tin, place on the stove to
boil, making sirup of it to come on
the table as sauce for the cake when
served. The cake should be timed so
as to bring it on the table from the oven
just as the family are sitting down to
dinner, or a little after, in order to eat
it warm and crisp.
