The political fortunes of Senator Plumb.
of Kansas, are involved in the present
canvass in that State, as the Legislature
elected this year will choose his successor.
He will doubtless succeed himself. as one
fourth of the counties have already in
structed their representatives to vote for
him. Good judges believe that he will
have the solid support of his party.
There is an Associated Press in Maine
but it is managed in Boston, so that its
occupation appears to be to gather the
news in Maine and send it to Boston
papers. The worst of it is that after the
agents in Maine have gathered the news
in this State they are not PERMITTED to use
it in the columns Of their papers until it
has first appeared in the Boston papers.

A HUNGARIAN Horror.

OF all tumutuous horrors the most incredi-
bic is reported from the Hungarian village OF
Belenyes. A handsome man of IS and a
devil-may-care youth Of 70 became enamored
of pretty young widow, who kept a wine
shop. Jealous of the favors shown to the boy.
the man lay in wait to kill him, but instead
fell victim to the superior strength of his
rival An investigation proved beyond ques-
ton that the two adversaries were
father and son, and that the pretty widow was
the daughter of one and the sister Of the other.
1t was a grim fate which brought these three
together after separation, which began dur
ing the infancy of the children.

Mr.. Julius Wsis,

Port Gibson (Miss.) Reville.
The firm of Meyer, Weis & Co. was dis
solved on May 1. Mr.. Weis withdraws. Mr..
Weis commenced his wonderfully successful
career as pack pealar in this county, and
grew from that humble beginning to be a
leading merchant in the United States. His
capital-and we know him thoroughly in bust
ness and friendly RELATIONSHIP his early days
was small pack, an honest head and heart,
and kindly. gentle manners. He won the con-
fdence of all the people, and grew rich with
out losing his good name. Many once rich;
but now poor, broken Gown planters who
helped Weis in his humble days have shared
his benevolence and kindness, and they rise
up to praise him. We knew him intimately
we'll when he stepped into the arena of life a
poor young man and we have known him
since as the unchanged man, though mil
ionaire. He owns no dollar that he does
not deserve.

1t is nothing of course that another batch Of
human lives has been lain upon the alter Of
the Arctic sea faulty. We take from the ST..
Louis Globe-Democrat the follow dispatch:
Washington, d. c. May s.-Secretary Chandler
received tonight the following telegram from En-
gineer Melville:
"Irkutsk, Mays To the Secretary of the Navy,
Washington, D: c., U. ), A.: Lena, Delta, March
a4.-Found DeLong and party dead. Found all the
papers and books. Will continue search for Clipp.
[Signedl "MELvILLE."
1t is about three years since Lieut.. belong
left in charge Of this expedition. Up to this
time his wife and child have been expectant
of his return. What justification there may
be for man of 50, having wife and child,
or any other trust that makes a life valuable,
scooting away on one of these foolish open
Arctic sea excursions we do not see. 1t is
now about ten years since the bravest and
greatest of artic navigators, and most accom-
plished of officers, beloved by every one, Dr..
Hall, was lost with the Polaris. under most
painful circumstances, as there were
suspicious of foul play that have never
since abated. With that offering it was
hoped science might be appeased. Why
was it necessary to celebrate over again
the many times celebrated Arct c failure?
Nothing had ever been accomplished but dis.
aster. Many strong ships and resolute navi-
gators had gone through Smiths Sound be-
fore with the same unvarying result, or varied
only by return with life. Explorers, beginning
centuries ago, have wintered in the frozen sea,
have got battle -dored with floating ice, have
sprung aleak, perhaps, and drifted for months,
with the pumps always manned and working,
and-that's all. But there were peculiarities
about the expedition of DR.. Hall that should
with his loss, have ended the craze. Previous
expeditions had encountered icebergs and
storms, but that was confronted with prospects
of wreck, manned with a turbulent and mu-
tinous crew, and sea Of conjecture yet rolls,
and ever will, over the events, whatever they
were, that gave back no sign or sound respect
ing its commanders fate. Other expeditions
followed, and the distinguishing trait of that
of Lieut.. belong is that it has given up its
dead.
Lieutenant De Long was a New Yorker,
educated and trained for the navy at the
Naval Academy. He is described as tall and
commanding in person, weighing about $50
pounds. He was a devoted father and fond
husband, valuable citizen and accomplished
officer. 1t seems to US it would now be in
order to :et the open Arctic sea 60; to which
suggestion we desire to call the attention of
the international trimumvirs, Russia, Eng
land and America, and their ally, Jas. G.
Bennett.

VICTOR N. ROSE.

VICTOR N. ROSE.
When Freedoms twig trunk had grown,
And Glory's sun lit all the land,
The seep Of noxious plant was sown,
And titled by Knavish care and hand.
1t sprang to power quick and well,
But gent lived in its boughs alone,
Whose breath like the Gorgeous fatal spell,
Transform the hearts of her dupes to stone.
They sang their peans with selfish aim,
And madly chorused the interlude,-
Wearing without . sense of shame,
The collared badge of servitude.
Here tricksters bold with shysters came,
As partizans entering free
To claim the spoils in the party's name,
An bask in the shade of the Caucus Tree.

Uncertainties of Advertising for Wife.

Several months ago st. Louis man,
with something Of an opinion of his
face and figure, advertised in a New
York paper for Il lady correspondent
with a view to matrimony. He re-
ceived several replies and photographs,
and, selecting the original Of one of the
most beautiful pictures, opened cor
respondence. The exchanges Of love
talk got so warm that he finally propo-
sed to the girl and the offer was accept
ed. OF course. Why not? The next
thing the man did was to start for New
York arrayed in gorgeous apparel.
Calling at the address Of the lady he
was met at the door by a woman whose
appearance caused him to rccoil in
stinctivcly.
"Is Miss ---- in p
who shall say called?'
"Mr. -- of st. Louis"
ooh, dear! is that you? Come into

"Just hand her that card, continued

Inc lacts connecting tne hllseraDle
experience of young Symonds rs an
actor were these: He was hired to
play in stock company, and one night
was called upon almost at an hours
notice to take part in play he had
never seen, his services being required
in consequence of the illness of the
man playing it. So little time did he
have to prepare for the performance
that a rchersal was impossible. The
part given him to study was in manu-
script. The man who had previously
played it was IN eccentric person and
had written in lot of ridiculous stage
directions. Symonds was amazed to
find them in Il serious part, but sup
posed them all right, and at evening
appeared with his lines and business
pretty well learned. \ large and fash
ionable audience assembled in the thea.
ter. The curtain was rung up and the
play commenced. Soon Symonds went
OH. His first speech described the mis-.
cry of his poverty-stricken mother al
home. After it he had danced a little
break. The audience was amazed, and
the other actors on the stage dumb
founded. But Symonds knew he wa:
following his stage directions. Present
ly he had to refuse proposition tc
commit crime. He did SO in grand
style and then took off his hat ano
jumped Oh it. This extraordinary pro
ceeding created sensations The man

under the sofa. That just set every
body wild, and the manager danced III

touching love scene with the heroine
Symohds proceeded to stand on hi
head and howl, and the audience howl
cd too, and the manager shrieked' t,
him to come off. But Symonds didn'
hear, and proceeded. He spoke hi
next speech with such impressivenest
and magni6cence Of manner that thC
audience was, in spite of itself, hushed
into respectful silence, and, at its close
was about to applaud, when Symond'
yankcd off boot and hurled it vicious

who was badly hurt OH the jaw by thu
boot, came up over the footlights, anC
the manager rushed on from the wings
and the way they bounced Symond
about was fearful. He made bi,
fight, and was still ut it when the cur
tain was rung down. After they wer,
