What CuriOSities Earn.

(From the st. Louis Post-D1spatch.l
"There are probably q dozen first
class giants in the business" said J. E..
Sackett, in answer to o question, "and
they get all the way from $50 to $500 a
week. Colonel Goshen gets $75; Brush
mel, the Norwegian, gets 1915; Chang,
the Chinamap, DOW in London, gets G70
week and his travelling expenses: MUIR
ply, who is also over there, aud who is
the tallest man in the world, gets about
the same salary. Cooper, who was with
Forepaugh last season, got 5000. Mid
gets are more numerous than giants.
There are over 100 Of them now on ex-
hibition. Tom Thumb is, of course, a
high -salaried curiosity. Che Nah gets
$l25 week. Jennie Quieley receives
$50 week, and Little Jewel is paid $35.
General Mite and lucia Zarata, who
travel together, $500 week and 10 per
cent Of the profits of the man
agement. General Totman is paid
$50; Major Atom SIS, and
Major Dot $50. An armless wonder like
Chas. E. Trip, who writes and other
wise uees his feet as other people use
their hands, is worth $40 week. The
OuAy A0SicbH m80 IL eA16teuct, Uut6Au0 VI
Walter Stuart, is Eli Bowen, who has
only feet and ankles growing out from
his body. He commands $50 week,
and is independent, owning two large
and valuable farms in Michigan. Fat
women are numerous, and, with one or
two exceptions, do not get more than
SIS or $40. Mile. Myers, the bearded
lady, receives $40 week. They average
about that figure. .:.z 81 = s S:
8 Ventriloqnists receive a weekly sal
airy of from =$l5 to $50. Cassenovia,
the chap who cuts men to pieces on the
stage, gets 1926. Other jugglers range
as low as SIS. Fire eaters receive from
$50 to $50. Patti, the trained monkey
man, got SIS; Giovanni, the bird trainer,
$50; Anelli and his trained birds, $50. >

Probably no city in the United
States has SO little reverence for
Sunday as religious institution as

books about the same Sunday laws"
that other States and cities have, but
no person appears to paJ the least
attention to them as a restraint on
any one from doing just as he
pleases, and the police authorities
evidently consider themselves re-
ieved from all obligations to enforce
them. There is no legal restraint

The Sunday papers make an unusual
display of advertisements and So

of every kind, from the highest tc
the lowest, with perhaps q single

all the railroads during the summer

sight
Your glowing charms are beautiful!
bright
But charms like yours come not iron
studied art,
Fer it is love o'erfowing from the heart
Tha: beauties and lights UP all the grsce'
Which SHINE SO brightly on your happy
faces.
'T;s virtues smile, it's holiness and truth,
Which give endurance to the charms O
youth.
But buoyant youth can't always act 'h'
sage,
Nor show the caution Of experienced age
And yet youth is the brightest season
given
To cultivate the plants designed fol
heaven.
IT'S not in spring the husbandman should
sleep
Who hopes, in autumn, earth's rich fruits
to reap.
But then, perhaps, your youthful trust
ing hearts
Have felt, and feel. the sting Of Cupid:
darts,
You love, if so, 'tis natural you should,
But not the worthless, but the wise ane
good.
Make choice of worth, tho he whom "
may choose
Another would Indignantly refuse.
And never dare to act the double part.
Nor give your hand. while YOU WITHHOLD
your heart.
If you have not already gone too far,
I'D say have patience, hold to what 70,
Don't rush too rashly on the cares of life
The thoughtless bride oft makes care
worn wife.
Young ladies oft are foolish in thei
choosing,
Or rather silly in their not refusing
The profered hand of that conceited fop
Whose self laudations knows not wher
to stop.
Or worse, that idle, vain, soft-fingere'
gent,
Who never earned nor sought to earn
cent.
He'll build You baseless castles in tn
air
And you may sigh his fancied bliss t.
share.
But lovers dreams are vanity, or worse
IT'S buying pleasures with an empty
purse.
Hard working fathers may have lazy sons
Who in life's hive are only useles
drones. ..
And daughters, too, may tiaunt thei
stylish airs
Who never shared their parents toll
and cares.
l greatly love that virtuous, pruden
lla;d,
WhosAs graceful form is modestly array
Whose frugal mind and practised com
mon sense
Won't lett her waste her parents homes
Such gaodel maids l trust you all viii
prove
Through all the mazes Of your youthful
love.
The highest style you ever can attain
Is to be natural, neat, gentle, plain;
To use your hands, while needful wor!
you find.
And in your leisure cultivate your mind
First learn to live-God will this grac
supply.
Your second lesson is, learn how to die.
Then let your state be that of maid o
wife,
You'll live happy and contented life.

The AMENDMENTS VALID.
scceoh of Hon. Dudley Foull1e in the
State senate, Jan. 2425.


The following is the text of the legal argu-
ment of Hon. Dudley Foulke, senator from
Wayne county, upon the validity of the
pending constitutional amendments:
Mr. Presdent-It is always pleasure to agree
with the gentlemen upon the other side when
they are right, and 1t is with pleasure that con-
cur with them in the statement that this Is no
political question. II Ia simple question of law.
We are acting, as the senator from Jackson has
said, court to determine the extent of our
own Jurisdiction. No political pledges were
made In view of any question OF this kind arising
for our consideration, Our obligation rs merely
provisions, under the sanction of our Oaths. This
we are sworn to do and no mandate of any eau
Gus in the world can protect against the Nhlt-
CATION of that oath. But, while acting as judges
as we do In this case, let ms not forget the maxim
of the most conscientious nudge in history, Sir
IL Ia the province OF a wise judge to decide, II
possible, in favor OF his own Jurisdiction, lest
there be failure of Justice. II, then, the scales
poise evenly, our duty is clear. We should de-
lest there he failure OF justice, but in order that
the voice of the peopls whom wa represent may
be heard. IL is said that constitution can only
he amended In the manner prescribed by itself.
We most freely coEcrde that IL upon the proper
construction of article Is OF the constitution
the spreading OF the amendments at length unon
the journals Ia made a requisite demanded by the
instrument itself, that It's omission is fatal The
question TO he decided Ia, Is ii such n REQUESTED
We say that it 10 not, for two reasons /. Thepro-
vision to the mere entry upon the journals is
directory only. 2. II has been substantially com
piled with NV the entry OF the joint resolutions by
their respecive titles upon the Journals, with the
yeas and navs thereon, and rhe provision In an
other manner for the Identification, proper au-
Identification and preservation of the resolutions
there referred to.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-01-26

Several of the Indiana papers are very I'M
justly attacking the proposition to change
the name of Asbury University to DePauw
University. The proposition to change the
name came from the trustees without the
seeking of Mr.. DePauw. Mr.. DePauw had
provided in his will for the endowment of u
university to be located in this city, and by
some means the trustees of Asbury Uni
versity found it out For over year Mr..
DePauw was besought to change his plans
by endowing Asbury, and, under the great
pressure brought to bear upon him, yielded
to the opportunities under certain condi-
tons and none OF the conditions were to
change the name. That is the long and short
of tie story.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-01-26

EVnnSN lTIe J0nrnnT.
Newspapers should never be licensed to
make wanton attacks upon private character
or business standing, nor should it be pos
sible for any man who may feel aggrieved
to revenge himself upon the newspaper by
compelling it to undergo the expe sc of pre-
pairing for and defending a suit which not
only has, as the lawyers say, nothing in it, "
but in which the plaintiff cannot hope TO get
verdict. The proper thing in such case is
to compel the person bringing the suit to pay
all the costs, not only of the prosecution but
of the defense. A law of this kind would
be just to publishers and the public alike
and with its rigid enforcement the shyster's
occupation would be gone.
