A STAMPED OUT CONSPIRACY.

The conspiracy made two years ago
To Dust the present Superintendent OF
the Mint and suppl mt him Ivy the ex-
attorney for the Messrs. Spargo,

lCdcrous conclusion, and now that mat

il may he considered 4 proper time tn
give the public full history Of the in
side Of tile plan, eff which the charges
against the Mint was one of the prin-
ciptl qualifications. Some years ago
the ex-attnrnpy for Msssrs. Spargo,
Cheney and Abel, fixed his hungry eye
upon the Superintendent of the Mint
and began tn lay his plans to succeed
him. When Garfield was elected and
Window appointed Secretary Of the
Treasury the attorney began to bestir
himself for the place, and ds Mr.. Win
dam had attended the same school
with the con>pirator, the latter con-
sidertd his appointment sure. In the
meantime numheress runIors of mis-
management and corruption were cir
culated about the W int to prejudice the
ID Department again t it and secure a
change. AT one time it Was supposed
that the scheme WAS about to work, but

influence at Washington was ascer-
tanned. When brought face to face
with an invest igation he shrank from
the isue and skunk away from any
responsibility. Even his last move to
keep the charges before the public for
Democratic ammunition during the
campaign has been effectually blocked
bv the action of Mr.. Erkfeldt, who
went right ahead with the investigation.
The light ST. far shed upon the charges
make them utterly contemplate and
ridiculous, as will he seen by glance
at the report Of the testimony in the
local columns Of the APPEAL. Never

exposed. As we long ag" predicted.
the attorney for MessrS Sparg", Cheney
and Abel, is ready t" fall into the ranks
of the Democracy. and yesterday morn
ing his personal organ delivered itself
over to Adams and his followers by an
endorsement of the Democratic plat
form in the following uneGuivocal Ian
guage:
Fair and Congressman Cassidy are |
entitled to the thanks Of their cm,stitu- |

Mrs. Flint sighed and shook hel
head, and said she didn't know how
ever she would manage withou,
Marah. Grandma expressed herself
to the effect that Marah would make
the best little wife in the world
Uncle Abner said "he s'posed gals
would get married, and they couldn
expect to keep her forever" Cousin
Louisa said "she thought the gal was
crazy, to marry a poor clerking fellow
like that" :.
The young man smiled as ne sat
beside Marah, in the light of the huge
burning logs which cracked upon the
evening hearth.
II don't call myself second Roths-
child" said he, 'and l am certainly
conversant with all the duties pertain,

perhaps I am not candidate for the

land & Co. And I am Marah's third
cousin into the bargain"
"Je-rusalem!" exclaimed honest old
Uncle Abner. "And what brought
you here?" ,,-
"Well," said Mr.. Marchland. Il
had heard Miss Nellis speak OF my
cousin Marah, and | felt q sort OF Gu
riosity to see her just as she was. L

airs and graces of the city young ladies

farm, and here | have succeeded in

our little Marah will be rich lady at

and keep hired girl to do the kitchen

"She deserves it all, said grandma.
"Laws-a-massy!" said cousin Lou

haps the most astonished of all. She
felt like the heroine of fairy tales, whose
sober, brown coated peasant lover is

young prince, all sparkling with dia-

When to See San Francisco.

But neither summer nor fall is a
good time for seeing California, al
though the eastern visitor does not
seem to appreciate the fact. Every
summer large numbers cross the prai-
ries and spend a week or two on this
coast. They generally return with an
unfavorable opinion of the climate and
a holy horror of the dust and wind.
The trouble is that San Francisco, to-
gether with the greater part of the
state, is as mlovely in midsummer as
New York is in the dog days. In win
ter it is seen at its best, but the east
ern visitors are busy then and seldom
find time to spend on the long over
land journey. Hence the number of
complaints one sees from superficial
tourists, who get their ideas of the state
from a dusty jaunt to its two largest
cities and dash through the heart of
the state in the cars. The latest and
most amusing specimen of this tribe is
one who could find no fruit in the San
Francisco market that pleased his as-
thetic palate, with the single exception
of the Mexican mango. The fact that
few people buy mangoes seemed to
cause him great establishment. It
would not surprise any one who has
paid visit to the markets and seen
the magnificent display of peaches,
pears, grapes and other fruit with
which the stalls are piled high from
June far into 0ctober.-N4. York

Love is Enough.

He was near 60, and rich. She was
Just 20, and poor. His attentions be-
came marked. Her younger and
poorer attendants were given the shake.
He called oftener and stayed later. He
was gray and had stiff joints, and his
breath was not sweet. But his collat-
erals were bulky. He had big de-
post in one of the banks, and his
corner lots were where the city was
growing. Time went on and she was
as patient as she could be. Yet she
longed for some spoken word to which
she could catch on-some token as an
earnest of more to follow. At last,
when her patience was at it's last ebb,
and she was pining for sight of
Gus ulster or smell of Wills ciga-
rettes, he spoke: Tomorrow night, :"
quoth the old man, as well as his Gel
luloid gums would let him, l shall
bring you the first pledge of my affec
tions. Promise me you will care for
it," You're too real sweet" was all
she could murmur, as he hobbled
down the steps. But dreams of dia-
mond solitaire earrings, gold bangles,
ruby lockets and pearl necklaces
danced through her brain all night,
and kept her heart beating with ex-
pectant happiness all nextday Would
night never come? Yes, at last it
came. But it brought not the old
man. Instead came District Tele-
graph messenger with note and a
parcel-a long, wide and flat parcel,
tied up in white paper. A jewel-case,
of course. Nothing short of bracelet
set Of earrings or chain and locket.
Controlling her Impotence, she opened
the note first. Il am too diffident, "
it ran, ito be present when you open
the Offering l send, but shall call to-
to hear what you think
of it." "Old darling" she said run
ming over to the glass to be ready to
see how she would look with the things
on. Then with trembling fingers she
tore the paper from the parcel. But
what was this? Witha stiffied cry she
sinks into a chair, while from her
hands ON to the floor falls a cloth
bound book with title, Love is
Enough" At last accounts she was
seated in the parlor, all traces of her
emotion banished, calmly awaiting the |
old mans ring. But Fred and Gus
and Charley and Will and Ed were
with her, and they were all chuckE.Ig
together, to think of the firing out"
hey were going to give the old man
when he arrived.

About Explosives.

Nitro glycerine looks like oil. Work.
men seeing it leaking from box or
can have sometimes mistaken it for
sweet oil, and have tried to nail the
box tighter with hammer. This
causes a terrific explosion. The way
in which the blasting powders are
made is by taking some such sub.
stance as sand or sawdust and mix
ing nitro -glycerine with it. The most
common of these powders is "dynam-
ite;' it looks like moist brown sugar.
Some others are called "dualin,"
rendrock," mica powder. The
tro-glycerine soaked in the sand OF
sawdust can be carried about without
spilling, and can be more safely
handled. In the same manner, II
nitro glycerine should be spilled upon
wood or cloth and should soak into the
substance, there might be an explo-
sion if the thing were afterward struck
or tossed about. Whenever one visits
a quarry, or new railroad, or anyother
place where blasting is going on, or
any factory or establishment where
nitro glycerine or blasting powder
might be made OF kept, it is well to be
careful about meddling with any yell
lowish-looking oil or any oily-looklng
powder.-ChriStian Union.

This years experience established one
grand fact, and that is, Texas mas no

A succssuIuI operation.

One Of the most successful operations
ever performed on a horse was recently
executed by DR.. H. J. Hanley, vsteri-
nary surgeon Of this city, who resides
at Third and Poplar streets. The par
ticulars of the operation are about as
follows:
Some time ago a fine horse, owned by
Weldie 8 Son of this city, had his
tongue pulled from the socket Of his
mouth in some manner by the driver
which caused the horse to bite the same,
severely lacerating the glands and 9th
er delicate parts Of the tongue, causing
the horse severe pain and would have
resulted fatally, but for the profession
al services Of DIR. Hanley, who was
called In and as once took steps to re-
move the tongue, that being the only
remedy whereby the horses life CoHld
be saved. The operation was perform
ed u few days ago, the entire tongue
being amputatSu and the horse Is now
getting well, Notwithstanding the
rumor that he had TO be killed. During
the performance of the operation the
horse Was kept alive by means Of oat
meal Cruel and, other delicaCieS. The
horse ls now able to masticate soft feed
and when his mouth is entirely we'll he
will be able TO eat small lot of hay
daily.
The operation Is truly o wonderful
feat and reflects great credit on the pro-
fcBsional abilities of DIR. Hanley.
