ALAReELY signed prOtest has beel

A LARGELY signed protest has been
sent from Chicago to Congress against
the enactment of any bankrupt law,
and we trust that il will be needed.
The law that formerly prevailed was
a fraud and a swiudle, designed appa-
rently for the benefit of the Registers.
The American Registers head is level
on the subject. Hear it: because
Congress "msy' enact a bankrupt
law, it does not follow that it must or
should do so. The masses of the peo-
pie would have no such law operative.
Ne democratic Congress has ever en-
acted such a measure, and has thrice
repealed these odious laws. Mer.
chants here and there may want them
the people do not. Martin Van
Buren, insisted that while the Con.
stitution invested Congress with the
power to enact a bankrupt law, it
gave no such grant with reference TO
insolvent laws. Levi Woodbury. con-
CURED in this with Van Buren. These
two constitutional lawyers insisted
that the States reserved the right TO
institute insolvent debtors acts"

DIR. Wild, Of Toronto, announces
that Adam was seven feet high. His
reason for this conclusion is that the
first man was perfect, and seven is a
perfect number. "Three is the Trim

seven includes the Creator and the
created. Seven means completion.

claimed that inasmuch as the officers

Lady Telegraphers.

The Office telcgrapher of the Globe
sat listening to the tick of his instru-
ment with a peculiar seraphic smile on
his face, when reporter interrupted
him with the remark: "Tll bet ten to
one there's a female operator on the
other end of that wire, and what she's
sending is special for you and not for
the paper"
at is certainly lady who is sending
the message" said the telegrapher,
"and she is doing it very well, indeed.
There are many excellent operators
among the women, and though they can
not do such hard work as man, they
send messages in very good shape
care you sure just who it is that is
sending?"
Certainly. ] can tell as quickly as
l could recognize a friends hand
writing. Each operator acquires pc
culiar style of handling key, and there
is not much difficulty in recognizing
sender when once his style it known to
you"
Where do all the operators come
from?'
'The city telegraph operators are
supplied mostly by young men who
have learned the business in country
offices. In many cases the son of a
country telegrapher learns the art from
bis father in spare moments, and finally
succeeds him in the business. For a
time he is satisfied with his position,
and the novelty of .buzzing' a female
operator in town thirty miles distant
is very pleasing, but soon he gets to
talking with city operators over the
wires, and when he finds out what they
are paid he becomes dissatisfied with his
own little salary of matchmaking a
month and find himself, and so deserts
his post for the city. These young fell
lows from the country make very good
operators, for as rule they begin to
learn when they are thirteen or fourteen
years old, and that an operator should
begin young is positively essential to his
success. They say person can never
be a good violinist unless he begins
when a child, and it is much the same
with telegraph operator. They begin
early and generally leave the business
before they are old; not that they retire
on a fortune, but they drift out into
some other occupation, as most of them
intended to when they first began to
handle key.''-Boston Globe.

Jack, The Pet Jayelin.

Jack was found in the woods neal
Lytle Station, on the International
south of San Antonio, by Mr. Y. M
Mcdaniel, some time last summer, and
presented by that gentleman to Mr.. E.
5. Bellamy, agent for the international
at that station. 1t was supposed to be
about three weeks old when caught. /
will keep you in suspense no longer
the Hon. Jack is neither more nor less
than javelin or young wild hog. Mr..
Bellamy had the curiosity and the pa
thence to try his training skill on him,
and on application he found him an apt
scholar. He persevered, and at the emu
of one month not only was he an eff
cient body guard by day, but faithful
sentinel by night. Mr.. Bellamy is a
very active and accommodating gentle
man, and has been long time in the
company's employ, yet in his varied
duties you will find Jack at his heels,
and he will allow no one to come be-
tween him and his body.
When seated at the desk he lies down
at NJ BIS feet, and will allow no one
to touch him. At night Jack follows
Mr.. B. to his bedside, and if he cannot
manage by stealth or. otherwise to get
into the bed, he will lie down beside the
bed and there remain quiet until morn
ing, unless some intruder enters the
room, when he will dart at him with all
the ferocity of his wild nature. Few
who intrude on him unwittingly once
never wish to try their hand u second
time, yet if not molested he is perfectly
gentle At the table he stands at his
masters side and receives a portion OF
anything he eats, and he is not particu-
lar what it is. He is yeritable tip
pier, and likes his whisky and beer and
any other strong drink. After drink
ing whisky he will smack his lips and
give signs for more. Any person who
has ever seen a iavelin can imagine
what a graceful figure he cuts with his
unshapely body with the whisky glass
in his mouth.
But short time ago three coyotes
came on the platform at the station in
the middle of the night. Jack jumped
I'D and stood between his master and
the coyotes, and kept them at bay until
one of the transportation men woke up
and asked what was the matter. MIR.
B. said it was only coyotes; that Jack
wocld take care of them, and rolled
over and went to sleep again One day
later Jack got up into the bed beside
the baby. He licked its face and then
laid down beside it and kept the flies
off. Jack has got many tricks. but the
most important thing that strikes the
observer is the strong attachment he has
for his master.-San Asstonio (1tz. }

The Egyptian Army.

There exists considerable diversity
Of opinion about the national character

with gruff, bass male voices and culmi-
mates in shrill, hysterical, falsetto tones.
The first time he is so disturbed he
probably assumes that it is case of
burglary or manslaughter. and rushes
out with the intention of supporting
vigorously the party of law and order,
but he finds to his disappointment that
it is nothing more serious than the
capturing of a recruit for the khedivial
army; and though it may be quite true,
as the women declare, that the village
sheikh in making the choice of his VIC
tim has been influenced by considera-
tons of baksheesh, the arguments pro-
duced pro and con involve such contra
dictory statements of fact and such
complicated considerations of law and
morals that as stranger he can hardly
feel justified in interfering with the
action of the authorities. In the prin-
