The Return Of a Jack. Knife.

A gentleman on Lisbon Street Satu.
day was talking of the wonderful re
turn of jack-knife that he lost twenty
five years ago. The gentleman has been
visiting the clerk of courts in Lewiston
during the past week. He made his
jack-knife himself upon his own forge.
and in his leisure moments covered ths
bone handle with his initials and num-
Der of odd devices. A year after, il
the deep SHOWS on the road to Kings
bury, Me-, he overlook m: 4 attempt
ing to tie up his sleigh that had broken
down. He jumped out to assist the
man, lent him the jack-knife, and for
getting it, rode off without it. He
never saw the man again. Fifteen
years afterward his daughter married.
and her husband, struck with the west
ern fever, took trip west and brough:
up in Minneapolis, MINI. Among the
people in that State with whom he came
into contact was one who was proverbi-
ally hard up. Reduced to straits he had
pawned everything. Coming along one
day, with apeculiar-looking jack-knife,
he offered it for sale. The gentleman
bought it and came home soon after,
and day or two after his arrival he
took the knife out of his pocket. His
wife pounced upon him. With thou
and rapturous expressions of surprise,
she demanded to know where he got it.
He told her he bought that knife in
Minneapolis. She said twas fathers. p"
Father was brought in and the knife
was identified as his. No explanation
could be offered by the gentleman as to
how his own identical jack-knife, lost
on a country road in Maine, could be
found by his son-in-law in western
country. This was ten years ago. The
gentleman has the jack-knife now.-

Postal Notes.

We have already mentioned the fact
that by act of the late Congress the Post
master General is authorized to issue
" postal notes''-or money orders-foI
sums less than five dollars. These notes
will be issued at, and redeemed by, all
money-order postofii ces.
The object of these notes is to furnish
something which represents money, that
can be sent by mail when it is not worth
while either to register letter or to take
out money order, and when the sum tG
be transmitted is not an even amount in
dollars.
The form of the postal notes has not
yet been made public, but according to
the law they are to be made payable al
the postoffices to which they are sent, al
any time less than three months from
the date when they are purchased. Is
they are not presented within that time
they can he sent to Washington and re
issued by the Postmaster General.
A great many people have regretted
the redemption and disappearance o,
the old fractional currency, which was
called in to be exchanged for silver coir
in 1876. At the time when the exchange
began there was not far from forty mill.
ion dollars of the fractional currency il
circulation. 1t is now nearly all re
deemed-that is, all that will ever be
presented.
The provision that the postal note,
shall be presented for payment within
three months will prevent their circula'
ting as money. On the whole, the sys
tenn bids fair to be one of great useful
ness to the people Youths Compan

Ancient Mounds in Florida.

Earth mounds are common near the
river banks all along this part of the
coast. The most remarkable work of
this kind is on the south bank of Spruce
Creek-an estuary of the Halifax. Its
base has a diameter of one hundred feet
and it attains height of fifty feet, with
steep sides, except on the east, which is
inclined, apparently, for a roadway.
Excavations near by reveal the source
of supply for the material in the con-
ficial hills have been found specimens
of pottery. stone pipes, rude vessels for
domestic use, charcoal, skeletons and
ornaments. The mounds are evidently
the work of the same.race of people who
constructed the military Notifications,
or canal beds, near Lake Okeechobee.
There is nothing to indicate the age of
the shell mounds or of the earth mounds
on Spruce Creek-no timber growths of
sufficient size to record the passage of
the centuries. But on the Lake Flirt
works the case is different. On the
crests of these artificial upheavals the
live oak is growing in luXuriance. While
the age of the largest specimens of teese
trees cannot accurately be determined,
it is safe to say they are from 700 to
1000 years old. And they have had
termination and continuous life since
the earth was disturbed by the hand of
man. America is called the new world
and Florida is the newest part of it, for
the polyp has not yet ceased las work
of creation here. And yet it is of such
great age that many of the important
events of the old worlds history are re-
cent when compared with what we know
has happened in the new. Barton d.

Dogmatizing Republicans.

There are two interesting classes in
the Republican party just now. The
first is made up of the ''Stalwarts" who
keep on compacently with their ina
chimes in spite of the cracking and
falling that have been going on around
them, and who put serene confidence in
Democratic laundering as the stepping
stone to a new lease of power. The Sec
ond class is made up of critics, Journal
istic and other, who spend their time in
attlibuting the defeat of their party to
the corrupt leaders and the machines"
and dogmatizing as to what 1.-THE peo-
ple'' are going to do as soon as they
get the machine hopelessly crushed.
OF the two the first class is the less silly.
Their talk about democratic blunder-
ING" really has substratum of sense
in the certainty that if the Democracy
does blunder SO seriously as the Re-
publican party has. it is not likely to
retain control of Congress or get con-
troll of the Presidency. But for the
silly dogmatism about what ''the peo-
ple'' are going to do in the way of s're-
pudiating Democracy and .sfusion"
and restoring the Republican party,
there is no foundation whatever.
If we could believe the orators and
the journals of this class 1.-The people"
is body distinct from both parties. 1t
has heretofore trusted the Republican
party; but finding the latter putting
corrupt men in power and making
by taking power away from it and Civ
ing it to the Democratic party and in
some places to the Fusion party. When
81 c,,f
| ficiently punished and warned it is to be
again taken into favor by 1.-THE people"
who have only used the other parties
for a purpose, not because of any con-
fidence in them or their principles.
There is hardly one of the anti-Conk-
| ling journals in New York, or nc anti
Ferry journals in Michigan, or the anti
anybody journals elsewhere, tnat has
not presented the case to this effect, if
not in the precise words we have given.
Yet it is scarcely possible to conceive of
more ridiculous nonsense. The people
are the parties. A great many of them
who formerly voted the Republican
ticket and helped to constitute the Re-
publican party have discovered that the
men who controlled the party organiza-
tion were using it for their own selfish
purposes. Many more have discovered
that they are no longer in sympathy
with the alleged ':principles'' of the
Republican party. The first class very
largely stayed at home at the recent
elections and may come out when the
Republican organizers put better men
in the field. The last class-the only
class that has shown it's disapprobat.on
of the Republican party by voting fol
its opponents, has left its old associates
''to stay;" and it is simple folly to coun,
] upon its return.-Detroit Free Press.

be followed by very slight reductions in
prices If by any al all, SO that the pub
lie win not receive any benefit. The
tariff enacted is an incomprehensihle
effort at compromising local interes s
without regard to the revenue and with
no regard for the most meritorious claims
upon the Government for bounties
where bounties were being dealt out.
Abolish the internal taxes and protec-
ton will be left no leg to stand on as
claim for pure bounty, while general
and certain gradual reduction for taxa
tion will be provided for, which will ex-
tend over period of some years, de-
pendent upon the revenue principle and
regulated by it.
The issue does not seem to us to be
giving Democrats much trouble. 1t
seems easy of solution, while it ought to
be discussed with the utmost freedom
and liberality, that a final solution may
be reached after all opinions are in.
Our Republican friends may rest assured
that, while the decision will not, in any
event, please them, it will not divide
the Democratic party, or seriously of
fend any number of Democrats. Cincin-
natl Ne,os.
