Startiuga Young Man.

It IS related of wealthy Philadel. phian, wso has beon dead these many years, that young man came to him one day and asked for help to start in business.
 "Do you drink?" inquired the mil lionaire
 "Ocasionally y."
 "Stop it.! stop it for a year and then come and see me-"
 The young man broke off the habit at once, and at the end of a year again presented himself.
 "Do you smoke?" asked the great man.
 "Yes, now and then"
 "Stop it! stop it for year and then come and see me-"
 The young man went away and cut loose from the habit, and after worrying through another twelve months once more faced the philan- thropist.
 "Do you chew?"
 "Yes."
 "Stop it! stop it for year and then come and see me-"
 But the young man ever called again. When some one asked why he didn't make one more effort, he replied:
 "Didn't 1 know what he was a driving at? He'd have told me that as I had stopped chewing, drinking and smoking, l must have saved money enough to start myself"

Fay IS we'll and favorably known throughout the territory, IS familiar with tie duties of clerk, having served one term in the legislature, where Ee made an honorable record and as democrat will probably be chosen for the position, we know of no better or more deserving one than Fay" All of which we concur in.

Kubben Interviewed.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The following interesting interview was had with Jay Hubbell:
 "Are you in favor of civil service reform?"
 "Yes, sir, am in favor of allow. ing every man to hold office as long as he likes. Give him his sal ary as long as he wants it, and when he gets through present him with a chromo."
 "Are you going to abolish the one per cent assessment scheme?"
 "That assessment business is no late innovation. It is an evil handed down from the democrats in the days of Jackson. Two years ago 1 was a bully fellow. Then I made the assess. ment, and then nobody kicked. 1 have caught it pretty well right and left from all sides; but time will make all things even."

A Practical View.

''De ole man Saunders an his wife war ober to see me las' nlte,' said Brother Gardner, as hush fell upon the multitude. "I recken dey didn't feel 'zactly easy in deir minds. Some body in de church had bin tellin' lem dat it was an awful sin to dance. When dey axed my advice on de subjeck, l answered same as 1 have answered all others. A re. ligun which won't let a man walk frew quadrille to de soun' of music am weak somewhar. A religun which rolls off a pusson's shoulders de mint he begins to laugh or sing or kick up his heels won't take him to de sort ob heaben 1 want 70 go to.
 "An' when de ole man axed me if playin' keerds was gwine to consign his soul to perdishun, l lad de same answer dat gave you las var. l wouldn't advise any of you to take a pack of keerds in your coat,tail pocket and sot out to win all de beer you could drink, an I wouldn't advise a lady to call de hostler in from de ban to try and beat him out of his months wages; but when I am told dat religun forbids me to sot down in my own house and play game of euchre wid my ole woman or a nay bur, I mus look upon it as a sort of lower-deck ideah.
 "When de ole man axed me if thought he could go to de theatre an squeeze into hcaben to, 1 had de same answer 1 shall allus have.

 "I want a religun, my friends, dat kin stan temptashun. 1 want one dat kin meet satan at the doah of a circus an knock him colder than a wedge. 1 want one dat will let me play euchre an yet keep me from cheatin'. I want one dat will go wid me to de theatres an en- joy what am good an condemn what am bad. want religion widout any dyspepsia or fiber complaint in It.

A QUESTION.

The emotional language of bees IS one of the multifarious facts Tn insect life with which Sir John Lubbock has made the world familiar. GA tired bee," he says,"hums on E, and there- fore only vibrates its wings 330 times in second. A bee humming on A will, on the other hand, increase It's vibrations to 440 per second. This difference is, probably, involuntary, but the change of tone is evidently under command of the will, and thus offers another point of similarity to a true voice. A bee in pursuit of honey huns continually and content edly on A, but if it is excited or angry it produces different note. Thus, them" concludes Sir John, "the sounds of insects do not merely .serye to bring the sexes together: they are not merely 'love songs,' but > also serve, like any true Ian (uage, to express the feelings" |" ow, suppose fellow wanders in immediate vicinity of d beehive, by irritating the inhabitants

He Danced to Perspire.

There is story of an imperial highness waltzing thrice in the same evening with an English lady at the court in Berlin. She naturally felt, and frankly confessed, herself highly fattered by the compliment. "I did not intend it as compliment" was the answer. "Then," sad the lady somewhat upset, "your highness must be very fond of dancing" "I detest dancing," was the still unsatisfactory response. Undeterred by her ill suc- cess, our fair Englishwcman still prosecuted her inquiries. "What, then, may ask, can be your I'm perial highness' motive fer dancing?" "Madame," was the exalted person. age's curt reply,"I dance to perspire."

Strange Fatality.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 9.-Mrs. C.. w. Fitzpatrick, whose husband died September 4, was this afternoon in Squires' marble works selecting a headstone for her husbands grave. Her little girl, about five years old, was prying about the marble works, when the mother and Mir. Squires heard thud and turned to find that the headstone had fallen and crushed the little one's skull. Death is mo- mentarily expected. The mothers grief was so heart-rending that phy. sicians administered chloral and rem dered her unconscious.

TIE census shows that the number of idiots and lunatcs in the country
 as large again as it appeared to be year ago, and surprise is expressed Tn somo quarters at this exhibit. Nothing has been brought out, how ever, to astonlsh those who are fa- miliar with the subject. The lack of positive and convincing evidence, on this point, is no doubt owing to the fact that a majority of men dislike to reveal their family secrets. But there is no question but that insanity is really on the increase. The sta tlstics of those states which keep ac- curate records of admissions to and discharges from institutions, dis tingushing persons. from "cases," are sufficient evidence of this fast.

AN eastern exchange, strong Republican one, by the way, very truthfully says: The Isthmus schemes come up smiling to greet Congress next week. The house Foreign Affairs Committee reported a bill for Government guaranty, of three per cent on $75,000,000 worth of bonds, for the Nicaruaga enterprise last summer, ard Mir. Kasson, who fathers it, will try to put through early in the session. Capt. Eads and his friends are equally wide awake to the chance of making money out of this government and other people by ship railroad. The United States can very well afford to keep it's hands off. Ii either the canal or the railroad is sure to oe such good thing as their projectors prophecy, surely private capital can be secured by due effort. A Government guaranty of bonds would very likely mean ultimately partial or complete construction of the work by the Government.

TIE congress just convened have a
 vast amonnt of work before them,
 and if they stick to it there will not
 be much time left for the manufac-
 ture of political capital. For instance,
 there are on the house calendar, coming over from the last session, -125 bills of public interest, not in
 volving appropriations; on the cal
 endar of the committee of the whole,
 230 bills by which money or land is appropriated; on the private calen- dar upwards of 400 private bills: on the speakers table 200 public and private bills, which have passed the
 senate; on the senate calendar l90 senate bills and joint resolutions, and
 7l house bills and resolutions; in
 conference committees at least one important measure - the Japanese indemnity fund bill; and in the hands of house committees 6,l34 bills and joint resolutions, of which prob ably 5000 will never be Heard of again, Now, this is an appalling record, even though two thirds of this projected legislation ought to be, as it will be, left unenacted. For many of these measures should be passed without delay. The honor of the government is involved in some of them, the welfare of citizens and Aepeiety in more. Only part of these
