Experiments in Kssmensm.

whats mesmerism?" asked Poots'
little boy the other day.
"Mesmerism, son, is the-well-
let's see, how can | make you under
stand it2"-it is the where's your
dictionary But no, never mind. I'll
explain it in another way" and then
Poots, who thinks he has a remarka.
bly, powerful mind, undertook to ex-
plain mesmeric influence on his son.
Fixing his eyes on his son in a way
that made the boy shudder, he said as
be pointed to the clock:
"See that pretty birdl Hear it
singl Let's catch it and put it in a
cage" and he got up and dragged the
unwilling boy after him. "Pretty
birdl Pretty birdl" he said as he patted
the clock.
Then the boy broke away with an
awful yell, knocked the clock down in
his terror, and yelling "Mal Mall Pas
got the jims again"
And that wound up Poots' exper-
iments in mesmerism.

Lne ston Of Eaoch Arden.


When Enoch Arden came home af.
ter that memorable and disastrous
voyage, which shipwrecked him and
his hopes, he crept up the street to his
old home, as Tennyson informs us,
and looked in the window. There he
saw Phillip Ray and Annie, his wife,
and their child, all seated around the
hearth cracking walnuts.
The whole bitter truth came upon
him with terrible force. Annie, sup.
posing Enoch TO be dead, had MARI.
ed Phillip, so as TO have home for
herself and child, and a man about
the house, in case Of tramps. II was
a sad coming back for Enoch, and be
was mad about Il. Not so much be.
cause Phillip had married his wife, for
there we're plenty more wives 10 be
had; not because bis child had learned
to call another man "pa," though that
was bitter pill inasmuch as the child
looked little like Phillip anyhow.
Neither of these things worried him
half so much as to note that Phillip
was wearing his (Enoch's) clothes.
With menacing gesture Enoch was
just about to dash into the house and
annihilate them, when suddenly the
anger in his countenance was sup
planted by a look Of terror and he
skunk away as silently as he had come.
He had caught sight Of Armies moth
err, who, during Enoch's absence, had
broken up housekeeping and come
over TO live with her daughter, and
had become fixture there.
Enoch told some Of the boys after
wards that il was the narrowest es-
cape Of his life, and that he would
rather be shipwrecked every Eve min
utes than to encounter his mother in
law.-[Cin. Saturday Night.

We have never seen a gentleman,
n scholar, a person Of politeness or
refinement while engaged in the duties
Of civil life, carry a weapon. We
have rarely met an innate coward,
brute, gambler, rough or dead beat,
one who expects TO carry himself
through every controversy with de-
fiant temper and a scourging, SANDER
Gus tongue, and TO come out Of IL first
best whether he was wright or wrong,
that did not carry pistol. The
class most unfit TO carry weapons are
the only men who ever carry them.
When Garfield was attacked Meth
or he nor Bls inc, nor any other de-
cent person present, had a weapon.
Decent people never wear them.
Mr.. Blaine's life was as completely in
the hands Of Guiteau as was that of
Garfield, If the whims Of the misera-
BILE brute had run in the direction Of
taking it. The plea that The innocent
never need these werpons for defense
against the natural weapons Of either
assassins, burglars or any other such
class is a false plea. The assassin or
burglar is certain to be the only one
of the two parties who will be armed.
1t is question of grave considera-
ton, therefore. whether all of our Con-
situations should not be amended, the
right of bearing arms be abolished and
general disarming of all persons be
enforced. All half way measures, all
attempts to decide who shall have arms
according to their moral character are
supremely ridiculous. Chicago Trib-
une.

One evening last week while com.

in the corner. The writer sat outside

Much 10 BE- TbooffgI FOR.

The old maid Of the present day
has much 10 be thankful for. No
dirty-faced children, mud.bedragged,
to scour and clean; no crying babies,
keeping her awake Of nights and dc.
msnding her presence at the nursery
when her tastes and inclination beck
on elsewhere. Her days are days Of
pleasantness, her nights are nights Of
peace. She retires TO her virgin
couch when she pleases, and does not
have to lie awake listening for the I'M
steady step and wavering night-key Of
her better-half, who has been 70 the
lodge. She can toast her feet by her
sparkling coal crate, warm the brick
for her feet, mix up her hot today and
lie down 70 PLEASANT dreams. No har-
raising thoughts about the children's
teeth or nannels, no getting up in the
night to hunt the parogoric bottle, or
worry about that horrid cough, or
where the school-books are left. No
patches 10 sew on pants. no baskets
Of stockings to mend, no endless lot
of shirt and suspender buttons 20 ad-
just. She can have quiet and repose,
rest and tranquil peace. She can
travel and read, like Lord Lovel, Of
the song. EAR Countries for to See."
But, blessed Of all, she can cal, discard
corsets, keep the digestion in good or.
der, the appetite keen. Talk about
lonely life, and living on the aroma Of
love and the sweet perfume Of afiec.
toni Away with such boshl Give
us something solid. Nobody was ev.
err lonely with a well-flled stomach.
Loneliness is not the worst evil in
life, any way; il is bliss compared TO
uncongenial or half hearted compan.
ionship, and a silence broken only by
the creak Of ones rocker is melody
beside fault-fnding and pickering

PRINTING Without TYNE.

A machine has lately been invented
which makes it highly probably that
ere long printing will be done without
setting type. The machine requires
that everything shall be stereotyped as
is the case now with nearly al. large
papers. The new process is a combi-
nation of the manner Of stereotyping
by means Of paper pulp, and of a
type writing machine. An instru-
ment constructed like type writer is
so adjusted that the type instead of
coming down and making an ink i'm.
preston on piece of paper strikes ON
the soft and pulpy paper mass SO as
to leave a perfect impression of itself,
which, when dried, forms paper ster-
eotype mold in which the metal is
cast. What is known among printers
as '.justifying" or the spacing of words
so as to make them come out right at
the end Of the lines, and which has
been one great difficulty in previous
efforts at machine type setting, it is
claimed can be done with ease with
this machine.

The true story Of Gen. John Nor.
gan's death will never be told until
the history Of his scandalous amours
at Greenville, Tenn, is written. His
death, 50 far from being heros mar
tyrdom in behalf of a cause he esteem.
ed holy, was due to his libertine in
stincis and the blind. unraeasoning fury
of an insanely jealous woman. Had he
been pure as man as he was daunt-
less as a soldier he would paobably be
alive to-day. This is the whole truth
of the matter in a nutshell. Like
Gen. VanDOrn, he could not govern
the baser passions Of his nature, and
like that accomplished but unfortunate
officer, in gratifying those passions he
lost his life. 1t was Don Juan and
not Leonidas who was killed in that
Greenville garden. = Breckenridge

Progress Of Sorghum Sugar Manufacture.
The new Kansas Sugar Refining
Company, located at Hutchinson,
Kansas. turned out its first batch Of
sugar on the 18th Of September. This
company has invested 1926 900 in
works here, and proposes making its
headquarters at Hutchinson, while
they will establish branch mills all
over the State and ship the product
here for refining. The results Of to-
day settle all controversy abont the
possibility of making sugar from sor-
ghum cane. The run to-day was a
bright grade, and crytalized perfectly
without the sorghum taste. The mill
will be run from this on at full ca
pacity, which is over one hundred
barrels per day of strip. This sea-
sons product will aggregate 5000
barrels Of sugar, and 1000 barrels Of
strip. All grades Of white sugar will
be made, but the machinery for gran
ulating is not up yet. To run this
mammoth establishment requires 200
men day and night. The Cleveland
Leader says the works st Hutchinson
and Sterling are both operated on the
same principle, and both have met
with the same successful result.
Hutchinson aud Sterling will soon be
able to supply Kansas with her sugar.

Of patience and tenderness. Don't
forget that she has equal claims on
you. Don't be gruif and rude at

are that you would be sewing on your
buttons still. Don't make your wife
feel that she is an incumbrance on you
by giving grudgingly. What she
needs, give cheerfully as il it were a
pleasure to do so. She will feel better,
and so will you. Don't NEEDLE in the

The danger that confronts the DEM
ocratic party just now, in view of its
great victory in the Ohio and other
State elections, is that there will be a
lack of prudent leadership in the next
Congress. The flush OF recent triumphs
may prompt impolitic action and reck-
less words. 1t has repeatedly happen
ed that the legitimate fruits of party
success have been thrown away by
shallow indiscretion. The democrats
are given great opportunities, and the
future alone can tell how wisely they
shall be utilized. A painstaking states
manship at Washington next winter
will lead to democratic victory in the
Presidential contest of 1884, but indis-
erection, then and there, will surely
bring disaster. The republicans are
relying upon democratic laundering.
