High-TOned Lobbying.

The class of fine, high lobbying hard
ly ever gets into the newspapers, be-
cause the agent is hidden, so to speak,
IN that upper crust of society, and takes
care to keep out of Congress unless in
the most approved company. Some
years ago there lived in Washington q
widow and her daughter, the latter very
accomplished in music, and they first
occupied part of house and then a
whole house, and it was not clear what
their game was, because the young
woman was entirely too practical to
!ook after matrimony, as was seen by
her cutting all the young dudes" and
handles and going only among Senators
and chiefs of the navy and the army.
suddenly they disappeared from Wash
lngton and then the story was told that
.he young woman had all unassisted
aiken the contract to pass large claim
nd had done it, and received S1CO, OOJ

eaI.Esfate improvements.

Not far from Chicago are two commu-
mites separated by a river, one settled
with intelligent, Christian people, and
the other with those that are quite the
opposite. A farmer of the latter place
said to Deacon Good:
why is it that you always get bet
ter prices and reader sales for your
lands than we can, when our farms are
just as good ?"
The deacon explained as best he
could how that good schools, churches,
etc., increased the price of land wherev-
er they are established.
A few days after the same man called
again on the deacon, and, placing a roll
OF bills in his hand, said:
81 have been talking up this subject
of churches, and we have concluded to
have preaching in our district. We
want you to take this money and get us

Circulars and Newspapers Missent.

It is the observation of the clerks in
he 'nixie," or misdirected, department
of the Cincinnati Postofice, that the
common cause of circulars and news
papers being missent, or turned in as
misdirected, is the giving of the wrong
State on the envelope or wrapper. A
clerk is addressing envelopes to postoff-
ces IN Indiana. Completing that State
he turns to Ohio, but from the force of
habit he continues to write Indiana"
In such a case matter intended for JEFF
fersonvlIle. Ohio. would, of course, be
sent to Jacksonville, Ind, and SO on
down through the list. IF itshould hap
pen, as it frequently does, that there is
10 corresponding name in Indiana for
the one intended Tor Ohio, the matter
would be turned in as misdirected.
This is not hypo etical case, but one
of almost daily occurrence. There does
not appear to be any adequate remedy.

Sun.SpOts and Trousers.

The fashion of wearing extremely
tight trousers has its periods of regu-
lar recurrence, Like most other things
in this world. At present the more
nearly mans neither garments come
to being literally mold of FORM" the
more nearly also are they the "glass of
fashion" It may safely be said that
trousers will not be tighter than they
now are.
Looking back Ger the vanished years,
we find that the last period of trouser-
tiehtness was In the latter part of the
year 1859. After 1870 the dimensions
gradually enlarged, until about 1875
the lower half of the fashionable youth
looked like pair of animated meal
bags. In 1877 the size began to dimin-
ish, and it has gradually contracted.
until We have now reached another
maximum of compression.
One of the objects of true science is
to discover the connection between
things apparently diverse. When GER
tain phenomena recur with regularity
at definite periods, and other phenom-
ena recur regularly at the same periods.
it Is fair to presume that there is some
connection between the causes which
produce each. In this way astrono-
mers and physicists have established
the fact of connection between auro-
raj displays, electrical storms and spots
on the sun, the periods of greatest en-
ergy of all three coinciding. To these
three phenomena must now be added
trouser-tightness. In 1869 and 1870
the spots on the sun were especially
large and numerous, the auroral dis
plays were exceptionally brilliant and
electrical storms of unusual frequency
and power. At the same time, as we
have already stated, trousers were re-
markably tight Just now the same
condition of the sun, the aurora, the
storms and the trousers is observable.
Just what that cause is has yet to be
discovered. The scientific value of
connecting trousers with sun-spots is
not yet apparent; but every fact is val
liable TO the scientist, and the bearing
OF it upon future theorizing may be
very important. York Mail and
