Europe are hungry for anything to in
crease their wealth.
The desire of the governments to give
intelligence, although sordid, is preparing
the way, under God, for democracy. It
has thrown up into the atmosphere pub
lie sentiment. Nothing can stand against
public sentiment. Every government in
Europe but one has been obliged to put
into its institutions the channels for pop
ular expression. Russia is the only one
standing out. Russia is like q steam
engine without a safety valve. She'll be
exploded some day to the uttermost
borders of her relm. Nihilism is a hor-
rible thing from our standpoint. 1t is
manufactured by the throne Of Russia.
The people explode it.
How is it here? It's more honorable
to make fortune here than to inherit
one. It's a fault of our people to subvert
everything to the getting Of wealth.
They can't stop for literature or vaca-
tions. The Yankee is never go much out
of place as when he tries to amuse him
SELF Diseases nearly all come from our
over-work. Then if it isn't hot enough
We get into hotter belt-politics. A
great national bonfire is kindled every
four years. We are on the eve of great
calamity of that kind now. There is one
place it is supposed we could cool off in.
That's the church. But it's the hottest
place of all. There are two branches of
church worship doctrine. They are
emotion and devotion. The principles Of
the first despise the an@sthetic principle.
They 60 to hear the sermon. The SER
mon is an attempt to antagonize the
universe. The worship of emotion has
brilliant experience and joyful hymns
The worship of devotion, where the
priests do everything and the people
swallow, is not much more restful.

Now And Then.

A writer from Louisville, Kentucky,
says:
"When see ladies and children, un-
attended, driving IN the various and
queer vehicles now in fashion / cannot
help thinking Of the change which has
taken place in this country in regard to
modesty and decorum in ladies. About
twenty-five years ago it was considered
very bold and unfeminine for a woman
to drive one horse, and to drive a pair
was sufficient to make her friends
ashamed of her. About that long ago I
drove q pair of ponies from my home in
the country to Louisville. The street
Arabs hooted and tried to hold the wheels
of the vehicle. My own mother was
mortified when she came to the door of
her house and saw only me and my little
daughter in the buggy, and was shocked
when I gleefully said that as my husband
could not come with me, he had allowed
me to drive the ponies, and that was
80 pleased with the experiment intend
ed to be my own driver in the future.
That was the first and last time l was
ever allowed to drive for dared not go
against public opinion.
At present it is the swell thing to do,
and every girl in Washington insists on
having a village cart and horse, which
she drives on the public thoroughfares
morning, noon and night. Last winter
and through the spring months there
was fashionable woman in Washington
who drove a pair Of ivory-tinted white
ponies in an exquisite equipage. The
harness was tipped with gold and every
thing loud-looking. The lady dressed
elaborately, and with long mousquetarie
gloves handled the white reins with the
skill of man. She had two dogs of rare
breed, and they sat beside her, one on
each side, she on the middle. The groom
in livery sat back, and she drove on the
front seat with her dogs. This lady has
passed most of her married life in Paris,
and has brought to this country the Gus
toms of that gay city. She gave Sunday
afternoon teas, and "baccarat" was played
during the afternoon and evening.
Everybody who was called fashionable
sought this charming and agreeable lady,
and all the diplomats attended her Sum
day teas and enjoyed the foreign gamb-
ling game"

BABIES ON THE WING.
TWO Little Girls, Barely Able to nix,
Make . Journey.

from WE XOut6C1WE CVuTSST'JOts1Jsu%.
There arrived in the city yesterday
morning two very young voyagers from
the Old World, perhaps not the Youngest
that ever came over, but certainly the
youngest that ever crossed the ocean in
the manner in which they did. About
eighteen months ago q gentleman and
his wife left Yorkshire, England, and
came to this country. Not knowing
where they would locate permanently
they left behind two little children, both
girls, one two and . half years old and
the other three. They were left in charge
of the gentleman's mother, who took the
best of care of them, and the two little
orphans, as it were, enjoyed excellent
health and prospered finely. The father
and mother came to this city some time
ago and concluded to make their home
here permanent one, and, naturally
enough, they wanted their little darlings
with them. The father some time ago
called upon Colonel Will S. Hays, agent
of the Inman Line of. steamships, and
asked him IF he could bring them over"
The Colonel told him they were rather
small to come 80 far alone, but that he
thought it could be done and that he
could do it if anybody Gould. So on the
10Th day of June Colonel Hays issued the
ticket to bring them from Liverpool,
England, to Louisville, KY, with instruc-
taons to the agents and officers of the In
man Line to watch over and provide for
their comfort and safety.
The two little girls accordingly left
Yorkshire, England, eighty miles be-
yond Liverpool and forty miles beyond
Manchester, and arrived at Liverpool
about ten days ago, bearing letters from
Colonel Hays and each one marked with
a tag bea1ng his address in this city.
The Liverpool agents took charge OF
them, put them on board the City Of
Richmond, and, after safe and pleasant
voyage across the Atlantic, arrived in
New York on Saturday last, where they
were met by the Inman Line agents and
every attention shown them possible.
They were supplied in New York with
irst-class through tickets to Louisville
and put in charge of the sleeping-car con-
ductor, who brought them through safe
ly, arriving via the Short Line Railroad
yesterday morning. They were deliver.
ed to Colonel Hays, at his Office on Third
street, below Main, both wearing the
tags which they left home in England
with and bearing his address in full
The gallant Colonel met them with a
welcome kiss and notified the parents
by telephone, of the safe arrival Of their
little ones, and, after giving them q
hearty breakfast, took them back to hif
Office to await the arrival Of the father
who shortly after came. and there was
meeting of happiness and ioy.

Hubble heard shot occasionally till
about four p. M, when the firing ceased.
At dusk he crawled carefully towards
camp; he found several Indians in it,
feasting from the stores, and carefully
crept away. He would have liked to
have killed one of them, but did not dare
to provoke . fight with them, for he had
but five cartridges with him, he having
been very careless in the morning and
gone out with his belt but half full and
the most of these he had fred at ante
lope.
When it became fairly dark he struck
out for the nearest settlements. The
weather and the water Of Pryor creek,
which came to his armpits was very cold
and worst of al he had no matches with
which to light q fire, 90 had to walk
steadily to keep from freezing.

their attention but the wind was blow
ing from them to him and they not

ready when one came. He was cool and
deliberate in speech and motion, and
neither friend or foe or circumstance
ever induced him to go, when afoot, faster
than walk. He had some odd ways.

Theodore filton's Passion for No tor.
iety.
From the Providence Star.

The editor of the Star was making
journey in Pennsylvania some time ago.
Two or three seats in front of him in the
palace car sat Theodore Tilton. The
distinguished gentleman was accompani-
ed by private secretary or valet. The
train was . slow one, stopping at many
small stations, and it was presently no
ticed that the country people upon the
platforms gathered around the window
of the car in which we were riding and
renamed staring and whispering to each
other until the train moved of. This
happened at several stations. At length,
as the train entered village. we went
to the door of the car and found Mr..
Tilton's attendant on the steps. As the
cars drew up to the station, he stepped
of, and, speaking in . confidential man
ner to the first person he encountered.
told him that Theodore .Tilton was in
that car, pointing over his left shoulder
with his thumb. The great man sat all
unconscious in q picturesque attitude
reading popular magazine, while the
people with open mouths gazed in admi-
ration-or curiosity.

and he was lodged in the Ludlow street
Jail. A month before a detective was
also thrown into the prison on a charge
of debt. This officer soon ingratiated
himself in Maroney's favor, and in five
months succeeded in getting out of him
the statement that he bad large sum of
money.
On plea of being able to assist him
to fortune through cotton speculations,
the detective obtained q note from him
to his wife, telling her to give him a
"book, which MarOney had previously
explained to her meant the package of
money. According to the arrangements
the detective met Mrs Maroney on a
lonely country road at night, but the
wife had consulted with her uncle who
was acquainted with the theft, and re-
fused to give up the "book." The de-
tective urged her so strongly, however.
that she concluded to ask the advice of
her female friend. This advice it is
needless to add, secured the money to
the officer. Only $500 had been taken
from the parcel. Muoney was suhse-
quently taken to Montgomery and con-
victed. He did not know, however, of
the evidence against him or the recovery
of the money until the officer walked
into the courtroom and took the witness
chair.
The great Adams Express robbery at
Cos Cob bridge, on the New Haven road,
when 100000 was taken, was entirely
under the supervision of Mr.. Bangs, who
recovered nearly the entire amount. He
also planned the workings of the dis
covery of the MoIiie Mcguire plots and
it was through tire fertility of his genius
that the perpetrators were brought to
the gallows. His body will be buried
by the side of Timothy Webster, his old
comrade, in the cemetery at Chicago.
They both died i'll the harness.

A New Use of the Electric Motor,

Thousands of experiments are now
under way to develop the capabilities of
electricity as a motive power. Its latest
application is on a pleasure launch on
the River Thames, in England The
boat is forty feet long and of good beam.
It is propelled by screw driven by Sic
mans motor and the Sellon- Volckmar
accumulators. There were twenty-one
persons on the boat, and about eight
miles an hour was made. The expense
is about the same as that of steam, and
the weight of the machinery is about the
same. but the advantage is in the very
small space taken up by the accumula-
tors. A twenty-foot electrical launch
will allow as much room for passengers
or freight as a thirty-foot steam launch.
Then it is the very perfection of a
pleasure boat. There is no heat, smoke,
dust, steam, no smell of oil, and no noise
of any kind. This Thames launch will
run for six hours, when the accumula-
tors must be charged afresn for further

A Business Melody.

There was a man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
with all his might and main he marked
still lower every price and advertised
again.
And when he advertised again his ri
walls loudly swore, to see folks rush with
might and main to patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude and
saw him custom win, that man behind
the counter stood and raked the shekels
in.
And when he raked the shekeIs in,
and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertis-
ing.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink,
and demonstrate full plain the more one
pays for printers ink the greater is his

was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense Pain i'll the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest OF agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the uriual as many as fifteen times in
a night. and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunt $
Remedy and | concluded to try it, and after
using one bottle she was good del better,

ShakeSpeare's Bones.

The vicar of Stratford-upon-AvOn has
at last given his consent to have the
bones of Shakespeare exhumed III order
that the light of science may be thrown
upon the character of EngIand's great
playwright Tradition almost
alone has heretofore given to the world
its idea Of the personal appearance of
Shakespeare. Now, however, science is
to place his bones upon its table and
announce to all people how one Will
liam Shakespeare lived, moved and had
his being. Science takes no cognizance
of king or beggar, scholar or idiot.
just as calmly will it take up the mold
ering remains that have laid for centH-
ries III the old tomb at Stratford-upo
Avon as it would the freshly-mangled
body of pauper to determine the
cause of his death. The examination,
it is thought will determine many
things. The shape of the skull will be
examined, to see if its contours indicate
that it contained a brain capable of writ
ing the plays attributed to Shakes
peare; the other bones Will tell the physi-
cal build of the man, and the whole
taken together will reveal to the world
whether 1t has been looking upon the
likeness of Shakespeare IN the prints
that flood every city, town and hamlet,
or whether these are but the offspring
of brains whose pOsseSsOrs never saw
correct picture of the playwright. For
years the vicar refused to grant the re-
quest that the bones might be exhumed,
but now that he has consented the whole
county of Warwick is aroused and the
seven thousand people, who compose
the village of Stratford-upon-Avon, are
holding their breath in suspense lest the
slightest zephyr may scatter the sacred
dust that lies by the side of the ashes of
Ann Hathaway. All gaze, and all won
der, but none remember to observe the
touching injunction that is affixed to
Shakespeare's last resting place:
Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare
To dig the dust enclosed heare !

The Skeleton of a Giant.
DISCOVERY IN INDIANA OF THE BONES OF
MAN OF GIGANTIC SIZE.

George Arnold, farm hand in the
employ of Franklin Boots, who lives
about fifteen miles west of Shelbyvile.
Ind. made a discovery which has ex-
cited widespread interest in that county.
The object # this interest is the skeleton
of what once was man of gigantic pro-
portions, which was uncovered in a
a gravel pit on Mr.. Boots farm. The
skeleton was found i'll a sitting posture,
facing the east, and about six feet be-
meath the surface. Some of the bones
were badly broken by a caving of the
bank, but the skull and some of the
larger bones were taken out intact, and
from them may be easily realized the gi-
gantic statue of the being to whom they
once gave support. A measurement of
the skull from front to rear, the rule
passing from the eye-socket to the back
of the head, shows it to have been about
sixteen inches, while the breadth of the
Inferior maxillary was eight and one-half
inches, showing that the Dram must have
weighed from four and One-haf to five
hounds. Careful measurement of the
other bones establish the fact that the
man. when alive was not less than nine
feet in height and large III proportion.
From the appearance OF the teeth, which
are very large and do not show the
slightest sign of decay, although they
are worn down almost to the bones Of the
Jaw, the man could not have been less
than 100 wears old when he died, and of
course he may have been much older.
The homes of the lower jaw are very large
and thick, showing an extent of mus
cular development III that organ which
is far beyond thing of the present day.
How long ago the body of this giant was
Inferred where it was mearthed, or to
what tribe or nation he belonged when
he trod the earth in all the majesty of his
strength, it is impossible to say, but 1t
must have been ages ago, as all the Indl-
cations show that the sol where the re
mains were discovered had not been dis
turbed for many generations. Steps have
been taken to have casts made of the
bones, and they will be placed either III
the State collection or some OF our col
lege museums.
