Nothing is more laughablc in public
speaker than misapplied phrase or an
Outburst of tigurative nonsense. 1t has
the uneXpcctedness of wit, made doubly
funny by the grotesqueness of ignor-
ance. Here are some specimens, from
Il collection of ''miXed metaphors made
by German author:
A pan-Gcrmanist Mayor of Rhine
land corporation in IN address to the
Emperor, said. mo Austria, no Prus-
sia, one only Germany. such Were the
words the mouth of your Imperial Ma
icsty has always had in its eye"
A German preacher, speaking of Il
repcntant girl, said, "Shc knclt in the
temple of her interior, and prayed fer
vcntly," feat no India-rubber doll
could initiate.
The German parliamentary oratory of
the present day affords many examples
of metaphor mixture, but two must suf-
flee. Count Frankcnbcrg is the author
of them. A few years ago he pointed
out to his countrymcn the necessity of
selling the stream of Time by the fore
lock: and in the last session he told the
Minister of War that if he really thought
the French were seriously attached to
peace, he had better resign Office and
'.return to his paternal oxen"

"Some years ago" says Mr.. L. II.
Davis, of Avon, n. Y, 81 phebee bird
had built her nest over small projec-
ton under the piazza of my fathers
house, and occupied the place for sever
al years unmolcsted. One springa rob-
in took possession of it before the arriv-
al of the rightful owner, and would not
give it up. The quarrel between the
birds was noted by the members of the
family, but nothing more was thought
about it until fall, when the peculiar
shape of the nest attracted attention.
Upon examination it proved TO be a
double nest-one built upon the other
and in the lower one was found the van

THE GREENBACKERS
The Leaders Of the Great Third Party In
Close Consultation With Barred
Doors ut st. Louis.
Propositions That viii Come Before the
Meeting-The Babe, in all Proba-
bility, to Be Reehristened.

ST.. LOUIS December 20.-The National
Committee of the Greenback Labor party
met at o'clock 10 day. After the noon
hour the members held an informal talk
among themselves, In which it developed that
the principal questions before the committee
are the adoption of platform; also the pro-
priety OF chsnging the name OF the party.
This latter IS expected 10 cause a lively fight
in the committee. There will be four dis
tinct propositions to rename the party, as
the National" the "Auti-Mouopoly," the
"Independent" and the "Whig." 1t is also
probable that action will be taken on the pro-
hibition question. Among those present are
the president, Col. Jesse Harper, of Illinois;
Gen. John b. Weaver, of Iowa; Gen. Z. Z.
Chambers, Of Texas; John Studebacker, of
Iowa; Rev. G.. De La Matyr of Indian apolis;
BrItton a. H1li, OF st. b1uisy-Csl- Nor
ton, of Chicago; K. NJ. Springer, OF Wash
ipgton and Others. President Harper made
few Introductory remarks at the Informal
meeting, stating that he considered the time
opportune for laying the principles OF the
Greenbsck Labor party before the people,
hence he decided to call the committee to-
gether. He had issued 1900 circulars calling
the meeting, and had received 300 replies
indorsing his action. Nothing in the way OF
principle was settled at The late election.
One party was put out and another was put
in, and that was all there was about it. He
5dlu thdt among the replies 20 MS circular
were many from leading jurists and promi-
nent bankers. All these he laid before the
committee. The cnsirmsn was followed BY
Britton A. Hull and other gentlemen, who
discussed the political situation in brief
speeches.
The committee wss in executive session
during the sfIernoon and are holding
secret meeting again tonight. 1t leaked
out, however, that the chief matter before the
committee 80 FAR is a rtsolution presented by
De La Matyr, of Indiana, looking to a disso-
luton Of the Greenback party, and the call
ing OF a national convention of all elements
opposing the Republican and Democratic
parties, and the organization of a new party
under a new name. 1t is understood that all
the leading spirits present, including Gen.
Weaver, Of Iosa; Hopkins, of New York I;
Chambers of Texas, De La Maytyr, Stude-
baker and Post, of Indiana; Springer, of
Maine; Hill, of st. Louis, and others, advo-
Gated the proposition. In fact it is said
that nobody opposed it except Jesse Harper,
who thought it would be better to continue
the present organization and gradually edu-
cate the people up to their principles. Gen.
Weaver and De La Matyr are said to have
made strong speeches in favor of the resolu-
ton. 1t is expected that definite action
will be taken on the proposition tonight, but
the indications are that it will be very late
before the question is decided.

ALLEGED RAPE.
An Innocent German Girl Taken I'm by
Sharper.

A case of total depravity, if true, was
brought yesterday before Justice John Spell
man. There is no worse offence morally in
the calendar than that of seduction, and the
matter laid before Justice Spelman looks
like a very aggravated case. From the facts
as brought out on the trial, it seems that on
the Katie Hooper was the carpenter of the
boat, named G. T. Sinclair, and an innocent
German girl named Annie RoIfe. She is of
not unprepossessing appearance, and her
physical charms excited Sinclsir's bad pas
sions, it is said. At any rate, he paid her
close attention, and when the boat reached
here he got her to accompany him to place
near the corner of Front and Adams. When
he had gotten her there he succeeded in rob-
bling her of her virtue. Whether be did 20
with her consent or without, is a mooted
question. The girls parents are old people,
living here. When che told them of the
outrage committed upon her, they went and
swore out a warrant for Sinclair's arrest.
Dsputy-Sheriff J. H. Campbell arrested
Sinclair and took him before Justice
Spelman, who, after hearing the evidence,
bound the accused over in the sum of $4,000
to answer the charge of abduction and rape.
Oae of the peculiar features of the trial was
that the girl and her parents were go en-
tirely German that an interpreter had to be
secured to show up the Nervousness of the
offeuse
