4 COINCIDENcX:
The recent visit of DR.. A. r Miller
suggests again one of the most remark
able condolences of personal history
we know of. We eften speak of the
Doctor as ''our donble," but rs we are
the believer in ghosts, probably we are
his double. BE that as it may, here is
the coincidence:
Both have the same family name and
the same initials. Both born in the
same county in Ohio in adjoining town
ships. Both went into the newspaper
business and published papers named
Gazette in the same Congressional dis
trict and both Republican. Both sold
out about the same time ind went to
Columbus, Ohio. From there both
brought up in Toledo on Jan LIST and
both went on the Toledo Blade. Thence,
both took stock in the Worthington
colony. At one time we published a
paper in Ohio named 1.-The Fireslde''
and the Doctor afterwards published
the ''Fireside Friend' III Chicago. For
some years we have been at the head
Of the "ADvANCE Printing House"
and the Doctor was recently member
of the advance Manufacturing Go. "
of New York.
In all these movements, excepting
the Worthington colony movement,
there was 10 ':collusion.'' 1t just chap
pened Sd us folks say.
We expect to finish the parallel some
five morning by walking down the gold
en- streets OF the New Jerusalem and
finding DR.. Miller already on hand with
the mater iale to publish the "Celestial
City Thought" issued every minute.

Coral Fishing.

The largest vessels employed in the
coral fishery on the italian coast are of
about fourteen tons, and employ a
dozen hands. They have to work night
and day, the men relieving each other
every six hours. They fish from March
to October, and their food consists
chiefly of macaroni and biscuit. Each
boat makes from 800 to 900 pounds.
according to its size. The coral is usu-
ally found attached to rocks. never in
mud, nor in muddy waters. The coral
rock is formed Of different species of
madrepores. Sometimes it is also found
attached to shell and other marine OBJ
jects. It spreads out its branches in all
directions, attaining height OF about
foot and the thickness of about an inch.
This mode of fishing coral IS very
primitive and might be improved with
advantage. A frame, consisting of two
bars of wood or iron, about fifteen feet
in length, placed across each other. is
weighted in the middle with a LARGE
stone. This frame is hung with taneles
OF hemp and nets, one of which is at
tached to each of the four extremities of
the crossbar frame This is then let
down by means of a thick rope onto the
coral bed and is dragged backward and
forward till the coral branches are en-
tangled in it. The rope is then attached
to windlass, and the frame is thus
brought heavily to the surface. Pre-
cious coral varies in color from deep
red to pale pink. It is also sometimes
marbled black and white; and there is
even black and white coral. Red coral
was once the most esteemed; now a del
icate pink is the most valued. The
finest pink coral is worth from 800 to
$500 per ounce, while ordinary red
coral may be had for 80 per ounce.

The Decisive T.ith0graDl,.

There should be something done to
protect the people against the deadly
Autograph. The Autographs of act
resses which are hung up in show win
dows make them all handsome, and the
facts OF the matter are that only about
one IN twenty is even good looking.
This is deception, and if it does not

the picture of one of the actresses or
opera singers, and you will see every
feature so well rounded that you are

beautiful, the noses are perfect, the
mouths are banks of rose-buds. the
teeth are even and white, the necks
ravishing and so forth. If you stumble
onto one of them in a car, or hotel.
you find her plain, everyday sort of
aperson, with none of the beautiful feat
ures so deliberately displayed in the
autographs. They may have defects
IN all of the features. The ewes NAV
be cross-legged, the nose too long, or
snubbed, the mouth three-cornered. the
teeth false or filed with tin-foil, the lip
covered with mustache as big as a
mans, and the neck scrawny OF fat
enough to cover with pillow sham.
Then you are mad, and the ithograDh
IS to blame. A good actress OF opera

Borrowing TrOuhIe.

Col. Dave McPelter is an Austin man
who lives, eats, drinks AMI has his be-
ing in politics. He does not talk of
anything else except about what the
prospects of the party are in the coming
campaign. He is a Democrat of the

pened in his family one of those events
that have occurred in families from time
immemorial.
A lady friend met him on the street
and exclaimed:

but what makes you look so sad, Colonel ?
You look as if you had lost your best

Nets Larson,

Nels Larson, who was killed by the car ;
last Friday evening on the Minneapolis
q st. Louis road, had come to the city
the day before from Mankato, in company
with fellow-countryman named Martin
johnson, whom the GLOBE representative
interviewed at length in reference to the
anetcedents of the deceased
and the manner of his death. In regard to
his death Air. Johnson knew nothing but
what the public already know. On Fri
day morning about fifteen men started
out of Minneapolis to work on the rail
road, among them being Mr.. Johnson
and the deceased. On reaching
the place they ascertained
they would have TO travel about a mile to
the boarding shanty for meals and be
obliged to sleep at night in box cars with
only one blanket for a covering. They
could get employment, but under these
circumstances they would not work and so
returned to the city. On reaching Cedar
lake on their way back some went in to
battle, but some aesthetic employe of the
road protested against doing so, and so
Nels Larson parted with his companions
and started back alone with heavy vaIise
IN his hand. His com panion, Johnson, re-
manned behind with the others and got on
hind freight car and stole his way back
tG the city. In reply to the question
whether the deceased had been drinking
that morning or had been hard of hearing.
Johnson said the deceased was steady
and industrious man, who followed rail
reading. but owned a homestead in Brown
county, Minnesota, that he was
IN comfortable circumstances, IN
married and about thirty years
old. A sister of his named
Mrs. Ole Greenkorsen, the only relative Of
the deceased in this country, lived in Wa
tonwan county, and as regards his hearing
he thought it was good. No inqnest on
the body was deemed necessary, and Sat
urday evening telegram was addressed to
Ole Greenkorsen, of Hanska lake, appris-
ing him of the sad accident. and asking
what disposition may be made OF the re-
mains. No answer has yet been received.

Wagner. the Composer,

Wagner was not a rapid or regular
worker, though he used to say that he
was always composing. Most of his
poems had been written when he was
young, which accounts for the rough
hewing of the verses, and he was wont
to recite passages Of them to himself as
he went out for his afternoons walk,
accompanied by his two Newfoundland
dogs. Walking, he would seize tunes
floating through the air, now like
mists, now like swarms of bees buzzing
on the wing, now like legions of sing
ing gnats" (this is what he writes in his
unpublished autobiography, and try to
make them settle on his verses as on a
mirror" When he was at Bayreuth he
had favorite walk, leading to the her
mitage-the boudoir OF sulking- house
of the Electors of Bavaria in olden
times, when their Serene Highness,
tired of been and politics, would take to
metaphysics and French wines for a
change. Over the two miles of road
lying between Bayreuth and this retreat
Wagner could roam undisturbed. for
the little Franconian peasant boys and
girls who saw him from afar would
nimbly skip out of his way, having
heard from their parents that the affairs
Of Germany would somehow get out of
joint if they disturbed the great man in
his meditatiOns.

Abraham LincOln's Candidacy for the
Presidency.

Under the Cooper Institute is large
hall, where Abraham Lincoln made the
great speech which called the attention
Of the East to him as a Presidential
quantity the year before he became
President. After Lincoln had been
beaten by Douglas for Senator he was
brought out for President at the town
of Decatur, where the Illinois Repub-
ican Convention was held in Nav. 1859.
Gov. Oglesby then announced that an
old Democrat desired to make a con-
tribution to the convention. Two fence
rails were then brought in, decorated,
and inscribed Abraham Lin
coin, the rail candidate for the
Presidency in 1860" The two rails
were from lot of 5000 made
IN 1880 by Thomas Hanks and Abe
Lincoln. For about fifteen minutes
there was tremendous cheering and ex-
element. Lincoln took the platform.
and gave his "reminiscences of making
rails. He then visited Kansas. Ohio.

Renan on Death-Bed RecantatiOns.

What would be a source of desolation
to me would be to have TO go through
one of those periods of disintegration
IN which man who has had strength
and virtue IS but the shadow and the
wreck of his former self, and often. to
the delight of fools, destroys the labor

age IS the worst gift the gods can con-
fer upon man, and if such a fate be in
store for me, [ protest beforehand

A State 1rith n Full Treasury.
Galveston (Tprasl Na,rc

Recent dispatches from the state capita
indicate that the cash balance in the state
treasury exceeds 100000. Something
over 100000 of this fund belongs tc
special funds and ought to be invested
As has lately been shown in these col
umns, the treasurer can not now make any
desirable investment. There then re-
mains 100000 idle until another ses-
sion of the legislature is had. In
case the constitutional amendments are
adopted-and this result is not doubted
the legislature is required to designate the
kind and class of investments desired.
Until this is done the funds in question re-
main idle at per cent. the loss is estima-
ted at 100000 per annum, or about $780,
600 from the time the amend
meuts are voted upon until the regular
session of the next legislature. An extra
session would cost $35, 200 or less. 1t is,
then, evident that this investment question
alone would Justify the expense of an ex-
ira session.

In its first year, according to Geyelin
the domestic hen produces only fifteen or
twenty eggs; in its second, 100 or more,up
to 120; in its third year, form 12O to 49,
and here the climax of fertility is reached;
in its fourth year, it produces from 100 to
115; in its fifth, from sixty to eighty; in It's
sixth, from fifty to sixty; in its seventh
from thirty-fve to forty; in its eighth,
from fifteen to twenty: in its ninth, from
one to ten. The fertility rises quickly to
its summum in the third year of life. and
more slowly fades to its disappearance in
the tenth year of life.

elaborate address; and, having gone to

the Cooper Institute on Monday night.
The platform was crowded with the
Republican leaders of the city. Peter
Cooper among them. VIM. G. BRYANT
