BALLAD OF THE WICKED
NEPHEW.

1t was wicked nephew bold
Who uprose in the night,
And ground upon a huge grindstone
His penknife, sharp and bright.
And while the sparks were flying wild
The cellar floor upon,
Quoth he unto himself. II will
Despatch my Uncle joint
"His property is large. and if
He dies and leaves will.
His loving nephew CHATS myself
Won't get dollar bill.
"I'll HE unto my uncle's bed
His chamber we'll know
And there I'll find his pocket-book
Safe under his pillow.
"With this bright steel III sly him first,
Because that is the way
They do such things, understand,
In Boucicalt's new play"
By this the anxious moon retired
tFor all the stars were in);
'Tis very dark" the nephew cried.
"But can find my kin.
Come forth. my trusty weapon. nowl"
(0r words to that effect)
He shouted to his little blade,
Whose power he did suspect.
Then out he starts. His uncle's door
Is thirteen doors from his;
He gains the latch, which upward flies.
And straight inside he is!
One pause upon the entry stair.
And one upon the mat
how still the house at such an hourl
How mewless lies the cat
20 nephew! nephew! be not rash;
Turn back, and then turn in
You uncle still is sound asleep,
And you devoid of sin.

The hail begins to beat outside

"'Tis not too late-repent. repent,
And all may yet be welli"
"Repent yourself" the nephew sneers
And at it goes pell nell.
To right and left he carves his way
At least. thus did it seem;
And, after de had done the deed,
Woke up from his bad dream.
And swift to Uncle John he ran,
When daylight climbed the hill,
And told him all-and Uncle John
Put nephew in his will.

MALARIA ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Washington Special.

DR.. j. I. May, for forty years establish
ed in the practice of his profession at Wash
ington, said to a reporter: IF. as is stated
in the dispatches, the reported relapse came
with a chill lasting an hour, attribute the
change to one of two causes. 1t is either
owing to the malaria influence of the low
grounds of the Potomac on the south of
the Presidents house, or else it is owing
to the formation of assesses or the alb
sorption of the matter, producing pyfemia
Chills precedes them all. The symptoms
have been so favorable and SO mild that
hardly think it is owing to the absorption
of the pus rather it appears to me ma
larial influence may be the cause. The pres
ident's house as is proverbially known, is
subject to such malarial influence and the
intermittent fever which it causes.
On of tho worst and most obstinate eases
Of intermittent fever ever attended, was
that of President Pierce when he occupied
the Whitehouse, and at that time most if
not all of the servants. on the south or river
side of the building were attacked with
that fever. If the president has been
sleeping in room in the south and ex
posed to the breeZes from the marshes by
the river, with his windows open at night,
he may have contracted malarial fever,
which is always ushered in by chill. If
this is the cause it will manifest itself in all
probability on Monday by a second chill,
unless it assumes the quotidian or daily
form, or the paroxysm is diverted by treat
ment' If his relapse is produced by the
other cause, absorption of pus (py@mia),
the case is much more serious. But there
is strong reason to hope that such is not
the case"

A rather UNIQUE charactcr in his way

A rather unique character In his way by
the name of Hayes Hinman. recently died
at his farm near Utica. There was moth
ing remarkable about his death, for if re-
port speaks truly, he expired in the same
fashion that has been IN vogue for the past
two thousand years. The popularity which
attaches itself to this case is the fact that
for the last fifty years of his life he never
spoke single word. It is related that
when a boy he heard his paternal ancestor
utter an oath, at which time the boy made
up his mind that the only way to prevent
profanity was to give up talking. He car
ried out his resolve, and died at the age of
sixty-six years without having conversed
with human soul for the past half CEN
fury He was considered an erratic indi-
vidual by many, while some entertained the
idea that the man was a lunatic. The ladies
generally regarded him as the ninth won
der of the world, and would not believe
but that he went off to some secluded spot
and by talking to himself, made up for
lost time.
He never told his love, nor did he ex-
press himself as pleased or annoyed by his
surroundings. He was well supplied with
money, and was thus enabled to carry out
his life long resolve. He was not stall
wart or an anti Conkling man, as far as
could be learned from his conversation.
His death was very sudden, and with
his money, which he bequeathed to his
nephew, were these words of advice, keep
your mouth shut"

Senator wood Pulp" Miller, of New
York, has certainly been telling tales out
of school. He lately delivered q speech be
fore the paper makers convention in which
he admitted too much. His admissions
would spoil the best protection story ever
invented For his giving away of party
tricks he receives the following rebuke
from the New York Times, a paper that is
supposed to be Republican, if there is any
party by that name:
j MIR Warner Miller, United States SEN
ator-elect, exhibits a refreshing frankness
in stating his views on public questions.
Mr.. Miller announces himself as opposed
to any reduction of the protective duty on
paper, though he maintains that paper is
sold as low, quality for quality, in New
York as in London. In that case it is diff
ficult to imagine any reason for retaining
the duty on paper. 1t cannot yield any
revenue to the government and it is not
needed for the protection of the manufac-
turer against competition with the 'pau-
per labor of Europe" In due course Mr..
Miller may learn the expediency of being a
little less ELUSIVE and little more logical 4"
The Post added:
'The economic principle upon which the
recommendations of Mr.. Miller rest is, as
we understand it, that when an industry
has been protected into fourishing con-
dition, neither the consumer nor the laborer
ought to profit by the result but the com
munitv should be further taxed not merely
to kill off any vestige of foreign competi-
ton, but to enable the industry itself when
it produces more than the home market re-
quires to compete in foreign markets with
foreign producers. If Mr.. Miller as a
paper man has fault it certainly is not
modesty."
Thus does the great wood pulp manu-
facturer and United States senator start
upon his senatorial career

It is estimated that nearly 1000, 0o0, 900
pounds of paper is produced annually,
one-half of which is used for printing, a
sixth for writing, and the remainder In

poses The United States alone produces

pounds per head for its population. The

takes pounds, the Frenchman Z pounds;
while the Italian, Spaniard and Russian
take respectively 3 pounds, II pounds. and

There is a muddle in this state over til
county officers whose terms expire the
coming fall. In abiding to the misunder-
standing, the Chicago Times says:
Vacancies viii occur in the offices affect
ed next fall, which must be filed in some
way. 1t is really of little consequence how
the vacancies be filed The important
point of the Times opinion is that the
terms of the present incumbents could not
be and have not been extended, either by
legislative enactment or popular enactment;
that, therefore, the terms of the present
incumbents will expire when the commits
slons they now hold shall expire; that the
