The Scene is Delusiye.

Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar, of Mississip- pi, signifies desire to retire to pri- vate lite. He is dissatisfied with politics, it's morals and methods. After almost life time spent n the arena of politics, in which he has achieved signal success, this distin- guished statesman is anxious to rest in the seclusion ofprivate life, where the lobyist and the shafts of pohtical calumny may not come. This fur nishes the text for much mental re fection to the young men to-day who are anxious to rush upon the politi
 cal plain. But few can expect tc reach the eminence from winch this man now desires to be freed, yet thousands will go down to theil graves with wrecked fortunes and blighted regulations from the politi
 cal scourge. The scene from afar of is delusive, but the actual politica field is slough of corruption, ir which brother fights brother and ia ther islanders son, The best mer are often contaminated, and he who wins has really lost. Young man don't be led astray: make an honest living; hoe cotton, chop cordwood dig potatoes, or whack steers, bn
 watch thepolitical slough from afal off.-Little Rock True Democrat.

The Development of Hearing.

With regard to the sense or hear ing, it is first remarked that all chil. dren for some time after birth are completely deaf, and it was not un. till the middle of the fourth day that Professor Preyer obtained any evi- dence of hearing in hls child. This child first turned his head in the al. rection of sound in the eleventh week, and this movement in the six teenth week had become as rapid and as certain as a reflex. In the twenty first month It danced to music, and in the twentyfourth initiated song; but it is stated, on the authority of other observers, that some children have been able to sing pitch correct ly, and even melody, as early as nine months. One such child used at this age to sing in it's sleep, and at nineteen months could beat time correctly with it's hands while sing ing an air.-From Nature.

Starch Monopoly .

A question of very grave import to the American people is how far the consolidation of business and capital can go. A meeting of starch manu- facturers embracing over two-thirds of all who are making starch in this country, was held last week in Gin cinnati, and consolidation of cap. ital was agreed upon, and joint stock company of two million of dol lars was formed, each company to hold stock in the new company in proportion to the value of the stock now owned by the different compa. nies. The result will be to completely destroy competition, to enable the new organization to put up the price of starch to suit their own selfish pur- poses, and make the consumers pay for it. Of course foreign made starch will be shut out by protective tar If, so the new company may be pro tected in robbing the gullible Amer ican public. Those starch manufac- turers who do not fall in with the new company will be crushed by the new company supplying their customers with starch at prices so cheap that they can't live, but when they have broken up their business then up will go the price of starch again. This is the policy that has been pursued by the match monopoly, and the Standard oil monopoly and other combinations. The small manufac- turers are destroyed by the larg mo- nopolies putting down prices to their special customers at non paying rates, for so long as is necessary to drive them out of business, and up go the prices again. And our high protective tariff encourages these monopolies by keeping competition out of the country. How long! O., how long will our people consent to be fieeced Tn thls way2 How long will the wealthy manufacturers be protected in collecting excessive prices from those who consume what they make? How long will class leg islation find advocates and followers in country said to be free2-Col

About Fools.

Itis said that the biggest fools of the day are those who are fools and don't know it. But the "boss" fool is the man whopays hundreds of dol lars on account of sickness in the family every year, when by keeping a box of Swayne's Pills in the house, ready for use, no other medicine would be required. The Pills con tain every medical property desirable in a purifying and strengthening medicine. They are entirely yege- table. Ask your druggists for them and take no other.

Egypt.

The most alarming news has been received from Khartoum. The False Prophet, at the head of the whole able bodied population of Soudan re. intorced by some cannibal tribes Of Central Africa, has utterly defeated Abd -el- Nader and Giegler, the Egyp- tian Governors, in seven sanguinary pitched battles. The Egyptian loss in killed and wounded is 5000, with their arms, included 5000 Reming- tons. The remnant of the Egyptian army took refuge at Khartoum and IS now besieged there. All the prov inces south of that city are lost to Egypt. The news of the capture ol Khartoum is daily expected. The False Prophet permits the pouring ol boiling talow into the eyes and ears of his captives and otherwise fiend- ishly tortures them. His man-eaters in some cases actually deyour their prisoners tor refusing to recognize him as the true prophet and Calif Dr. Schweinfurth assures me there is movement for a real revival ol Islam, comprising Afghanistan and Morocco, and the doctor is confident that the movement will embrace Khartoum. The False Prophet ad herents increase like wild-ire, and the Prophet himself is said to be marching towards Cairo. Great weight is due to the opinion of Dr Schweinfurth, but believe that Chinese Gordon or Valentine Baker would be able to finish the whole bus mess with 5000 men. Abd el Kadel was known to fame as the "Comman der of the Forty Thieves" under Sir Samuel Baker. Giegler IS the German engineer.

A London paper describes an American girl in that city who "wears gown with flight of embroidered swallows, beginning on her left shoulder and ending at her right foot; and swallows also fly about her parasol" The American youth in London is also addicted to "swal- lows," but they don't begin on his left shoulder. They begin under his nose and run down his throat. -- Norristown Herald.

How long has man been on this planet? is a question often asked, but the answer is always unsatisfac- tory. The remains of implements and articles used by human beings have heen in strata hundreds of thousands of thousands of years ole. Ages must have passed since the savage man first emerged from a semi-brute condition. Mir. Wiggins of Waverly, New Jersey, found on the top of the Alleghany mountains in Perry county, Pennsylvania, a piece interchangeable limestone upon which was clearly visible the print of the right foot of human being. The impression is about an inch deep and shows the five toes and the per fectly formed foot of man. This piece of stone has been sent to the Smithsonian Institution. The rock is of great antiquity and must have an tedated the oldest memorials oi Egypt. l. is certainly the earliest trace of man in America.

Pattison's Probable Plurality,

Towanda Letter in the N. Y. Herald.
 So certain is now the election of the Democratic State ticket in Penn sylvania, unless the division in the Republican party is healed, that vigorous efforts have lately been made by leading Republicans, who have not been hostile to the Gamer ons, to induce the withdrawal of Beaver. But that weak and san guine person seems to have shut his eyes and ears to everything that has not hattered his vanity, and has no doubt of his election. 1t IS doubtful whether even the Cameron command would now drive him from the field. Moreover, should the regular ticket be withdrawn it is probable that as many Stalwart voters would in con sequence stay at home on election day as there are Independents who now support Stewart. In any con tingency the election of Pattison is now only a question of plurality. It will probably be 30,000. It may reach 60,000
