The machine men OF the Pennsylvania republic
can party affect to believe that the independent
movement Will come 10 nought because 1t has no
leaders TO match the CameronS in tact and ability.
This seems 10 be really the strong point Of the In
dependent movement that it is a revolt OF the re-
publican masses against the boss rule OF a few
shrewd politicians, who have managed to run the
machine for their own personal benefit IT the
Independent movement were headed by shrewd
political managers, the suspicion would at once be
raised that 1t had no popular foundation, and was
merely the attempt OF a set OF would-be bosses to
suppant those in power. The people would fare
better by a change OF bosses than the fox in the
fable. who, haraSSed by one swarm OF flies, de-
clined the offer to have them driven away lest
hungrier set should take their places II the re-
volt has anything like the proportions claimed it
will make It's way without boSsing.

The passage OF the bill to increase the water
supply, in the Senate, by unanimous vote. gives
promise OF relief at some not very distant day
from n serious and rapidly increasing incorven-
fence. The pressing need OF this relief IS surely
appreciated In the House, where the bill now goes,
and it Is reasonable TO suppose that that body will
act with the promptness the subject demands To
the bill ITSELF rather to the plan of enlargement
It proposes. there was not a word OF objection
urged in the Senate. IL met unanimous approval.
The report OF the COMMITTEES! shows that the pro-
jected extension of.the works, which assures an
abundant supply OF water for many years to come,
viii cost but little more than it would require to
provide means for carrying Che present supply to
the higher portions OK the city; and the PROPOSE
ton is forcbly presented that the latter would be
but temporary expedient, relieving present needs
only, leaving the extension OF the works to follow
as a matter of necessity In the course OF few
years. The passage OF the Senate bill will settle
the question OF water supply here for half cent
ury at least. The works enlarged according to the
bill will furnish an abundance OF water for half
million people and viii supply the higher portions
OF the city equally with the lower.

Egypt, in fact, says the correspondent of
the London Times, is in the hands of one
man, Arab Bey. the Minister of War. The
new Ministry is formed by him, and by him
only. The Egyptian Cabinet is ruled by
Arab Bey with more absolute authority than
even Prince Bismarck exercises. He doesn't
argue, but orders, and his word is law. He
paid a visit to his President the other day,
but was accompanied by 400 officers. His
ministry is crowded with natives, who beg
of him every kind of favors: Adouble line

A valentine sent by a youth in Washing
ton to a girl in Easton, Md, recalls the
the story of a name of note in American
history. The name Of the sender Of the mis-
sive is Return j. Meigs, and the same Chris
tan name has been in the family for seven
generations. Many years ago, IN ante Revo-
lutionary days, Jonathan Meigs courted q
young lady who rejected his addresses.
Meigs continued to love the girl, and, though
too proud and sensitive to try a second time
to win her, determined never to marry any
one else, and to live and die a bachelor unless
she of her own accord relented. After a few
years the lady did relent, and sent 4 letter to
her former suitor. Meigs got the letter and
found in it only the two words "Return
Jonathan" 1t was enough. Jonathan
did return, and made her his wife. Their
first child was baptized "Return Jonathan
to commemorate the brief letter that saved
Meigs family from extinction, and from that
day to this there has been a Return j. Meigs
in every generation.

Wool Prospects.

The indications are that prices of wool
will be lower before the new clip is ready
for market. During the past season there
has been q noticeable demand for fine wool
and the mills requiring this kind of stock
show no falling off. Therefore it seems
probable that the supply of fine wool will be
pretty nearly exhausted before the new clip
cones in, this opinion being based upon the
fact that very little fine foreign wool is left
in stock and the importations are extremely
light. Eastern advices are to the effect that
both native and foreign wool is a short crop,
and the demand at present is far below the
average at this time Of the year. Flockmas-
tiers are not in haste to dispose Of the cid
clip, in many cases two years shearings be-
ing held awaiting higher prices. Unless
holders Of fine wool combine to force prices
up, the prospects are that prices will remain
steady for several months to come, but hold
ers may, it is thought, confdentially expect
higher prices after the new clip is ready.
Should prices for fine wool materially adj
vance in the mean time. the result would be
to place q large number of American orders
in European markets in order to supply the
demands OF the mills until the new clip is
. leared and placed on the market.

HOW TO be Healthy.

Lahonc1ere declares that those who have
at last got r%econciled to enjoying poisons
freelY-tobacco, beer. wine, spirits, coffee
need not have scruples lest they should injure
bad example; for a close attention to medical
opinion will, if they entertain such notions,
entirely reassure them. 81 notice. says he,
s'that poisons like fashionable health resorts,
come up and 60 just as the medical magma
ton or the popular craze may happen to
jump. One year we are told how a drop Of
tobacco juice kills a cat; the next year beer
brings rheumatism, wine is responsible for
govt, spirits for insanity and coffee for bile.
Tea was my last stronghold. Sir Henry
Thompson had Informed the world that af-
ternoon tea would not be SO bad if it were
not for the cream taken with it. So | left
off cream, and was comparatively happy
with milk; when, to my horror, [ learned
from another distinguished medical authority
that tea would be even wholesome and nour-
ishing if people always took cream with it,
but that milk in tea sets up a peculiar acid
fermentation within, most inimical to diges-
ton. This last shock was tremendous, but
upon recovering from it | determined to eat,
drink, smoke and be merry, whatever doc
tors might write about my food and my
liquor. Since I have acted On this resolution
my health has been excellent"

Thought IN n Dog aud Wasp.

A small-sized but feet running dog chased
q large raccoon from a wheat field, and over
took him on the bank of a stream, about a
rod from the water. The raccoon faced the
dog and sat upon his launches for battle.
The dog seized him just below the forelegs
in front and tried to shake him, but he could
not, for he was heavier than the dog. The
animal Immediately set his long, sharp teeth
in the side of the dogs head and clasped him
iE his claws. The dog, whining with pain,
tried to pull away and shake off the raccoon,
but was held fast, when he turned to the
creek and dragged the raccoon, which still
chung to him, into the creek, where he held
him under the water, adroitly keeping his
own nose out, until the raccoon became so
exhausted that the dog shook him off and
then seized him by the throat and mastered
him.
The occupant of a roomlwith a door open
ing into the street was startled one day by the
entrance with a buzzing noise of a large
blush wasp, of the kind which captures spi-
ders to place in their nest for the growing
wasps to feed upon. After flying around
the room the wasp went to one corner, whe-e
a large house spider had made a broad web
near the ceiling, with a long, close hiding
place extending down in the corner. The
wasp flew under the web and examined the
hiding place closely, apparently to see if the
spider was at home. and then, as il satisfied
of that fact, flew out into the room and re-
turning dropped down in the centre of the
web, buzziDg and futtering like a caught fly.
Thereupon the old spider rushed out in great
haste to capture his prey, and as soon as he
Came within reach the wasp picked him up
and flew away with him. Was it reason or
instinct that caused the actions of these two
animals under the circumstances !? Whately
says ''instinct is q blind tendency to some
mode of action independent of any consider
alton on ahe part of the agent of the end to
which the action leads"
Did these animals have no reconsideration"
or expectation s'of the end or object to which
their actions led ?"

Ol tIcCtlug q new fICaIage.
Experiments have been made with an cleo
trio lamp for locomotives on the system of
Messrs. Sedlaczel and Wilkulill. on the North
of France Railway. The lamp is placed in
front of the engine so as to light the perma
nent way. The experiments have shown that
it burns steadily, even when the train goes
at express speed, that the light does not in
terfere with the visibility or the distinctive
color of the signals, and that neither the en-
gine-drivers nor officials of the train carrying
the light, nor of other approaching trains,
are dazzled by it. The drivers are able to
see the line distinctly for q distance Of three
hundred yards ahead.
Miss Fannie Scoville, Guiteau's niece,

THE IRAN CENTRAL. HOTEL

The GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL
1t is well, now that this fine prop
erty is offered for sale, to look into
its cost and its value as compared
with other property. The property
has always been used for hotel pur-
poses, but lily shaped and dilapida-
ted, had almost become useless, and
certainly Improbable when it was
purchased from the late Col. Stewart
by Col. Nadenbousch. for the sum OF
$4,000. Using Is much of the old
walls as possible, Col. Nadenbousch
enlarged it to more than three times
its original size, and constructed a
building that in point of durability
and architectural design, will com
pare ~favorably with modern hotels
anywhere. 1t is a credit to that zen.
tleman's enterprise, ability and
pluck. If it was worth $4,000 when
he purchased it. what ought it to be-
worth after his improvements I? Ger
tainly three, if not four times as
much. Now for comparison: The
next building, in point of size, is the
Scheu building recently purchased
by the Peoples National Bank for
$4,000. 1t is "a nice building, but
cannot be compared in size or con
struction with the Grand Central
Hotel. The Scheu building is with.
out "a l0t-the house cOyers the lot
and it is hemmed in on all sides. 1t
has no space for Outbuildings, stab
ling, &c. The hotel, thrice as large
has ample lot, with outbuildings and
stabling, and should be worth three
times as much as the price paid by
the bank for the Scheu property.
Let the properties be examined and
see if this is not a fair test. We do
not mean to say that it will or should
sell for three times that amount at
public sale, but it does looN as if it
ought to bring, at such a sale, more
than thirty thousand dollars. 1t is
a hotel property, and consequently "A
speciality, and must be confined to
those seeking investment for that
purpose, and with its store.roOms
and easements, ought easily to be
made to realize a fair rental ON a ba-
sis of $4,000. 1t would certainly
be folly to say that it is not worth at
least two and a half times as much
as Nadenbousch paid for the lot and
the old buildings.
