presto! the bands break and whirl to-

touch the round piece to it gently. The

as far as the string will allow. Thus
you have veritable balloon, and if just
sufficient string is allowed to keep it
balanced midway between floor and
ceiling, it will perform very curious
antics. Those currents of air which ex-
ist in every room, unfelt by the inmates,
are strong draughts to the fragile. and
delicate bubble. 1t will follow these
currents, now visiting the ceiling;inow
running along the floor, and escaping
as if by a miracle the obstacles. in its

the room it will be gradually attracted
toward it, and, carried by the upward
current of hot air, will dash toward the
ceiling, as if bent on committing suicide.
But bounding on the cushion of dead
air, which always lies on the surface of
every solid object, it bends at right
angles, and darts off, escaping as if by
some inward power the fate into which
it was apparently plunging headlong,
and again circles round the room, till

The ingenious reader will be able to
work up the hints above given into a
variety of amusing and beautiful expert
ments. The last described will perhaps
afford most amusement in, various
ways, which will readily occur to his
mind while using the novel toy. The
true secret of success in these experi-
ments, as in everything, is carefulness.
If the soap solution is prepared with
care, there is no reason why the reader
should not be entirely successful in the
experiments that follow. ...s -..
Bubbles are most curious and lovely
things. There is neither time nor space
to go into their connection with science,

Bachelors in History.

In antiquity it was considered I'M
patriotic to remain unmarried. Hence
bachelors were subject to peculiar disa-
bilities in the Spartan and Roman code.
They were obliged to pay extra taxes,
and under Augustus they were barred
from the Inheritance of real estate
except from their nearest relatives.
Only one of our national presidents
was bachelor. Bachelors, generally
speaking, are not as successful in life
as married men. 1t is said that not
one of Washington's associate leaders
in the revolutionary struggle was a
celibate. All had the influence of mar
rage and social life. Hence that ten
dency against wedlock which marks the
present day is among its worst features.
Speaking of marriage, it should be a
complete union of affection and intel
lectual powers. 1t may be added that
mans wife should be to certain
degree his business partner. She
should know something of his risks and
financial difficulties, and in this way
the burden Of life is often divided.
Walter Scott concealed from his
wife his connection with the Bana-
tynes which caused his ruin. This was
great mistake. On the other hand,
one of the most successful business
men in the city has always made his
wife a confidant in his schemes, and
found her advice advantageous. To
return to our rich celibates, it may be
said that the Chemical Bank was once
considered sort of bachelors hall,
since its stockholders, directors and
president included rare sort of opulent
celibates. Peter Goelet was one of its
directors; James Lenox and Alexander
Stuart were leading stockholders, while
its President, John Q. Jones, was also
a bachelor. The latter was the best
looking of the whole number, and to a
noble form added an open an attrac-
tive countenance. He was an admira-
BILE business man, and left an estate
estimated at $4,000 It was GER
tain1y remarkable feature in the
Chemical that it should contain SO large
a number of bachelors, but such is no
longer the case, since each of these has
passed from earthly scenes. Some
families have a peculiar tendency to-
wards celibacy, as for instance the
Alexanders of Princeton, William the
eldest brother, who became President of
the Equitable Life Insurance Company
died a bachelor of three score and ten.
Addison Alexander, the Princeton Pro-
lessor, followed the same example, and
so did a younger brother. Only two,
indeed, of Archibald Alexander five
children married Celibacy is an occa-
sional feature in journalism since Will
liam III. Hurlburt, formerly Of the
World, and James Gordon Bennett of
the Herald, remain in this condition.
How much happier and more useful
both would be were they married men.
and in this respect Whitelaw Reid set
them a good though late example,

Wall Street RumOrs.

Rumors rise in Wall street as MAS
mata from Southern marsh. They in
feet the air and carry contagion into
every branch of business.
So thick are these rumors that the
newspaper reporter who ''cOvers" Wall
street finds that his main business is to
run them down and ascertains their truth
or falsity. All the columns of newspa-
pers could be filled with contradictions
and details of rumors circulated on
Wall street.
Some rumors, of course, foreshadOw
an actual event. They are exaggera-
tons, but there is something behind
them. But most rumors are actually
manufactured to suit some purpose of
the inventor. The greatest ingenuity is
exhibited in originating them, and the
most elaborate machinery employed to
put them in circulation.
1t is not, however, ordinarily very diff
ficult to start q rumor afloat. Let a
member enter the Stock Exchange and
say he has just heard "so-and-so," and
with lightning rapidity ''so-and-so" is
in erybody's mouth. The messenger
bows who crowd around the entrance of
the exchange are sometimes employed
to float a rumor on the market. The
bot, while waiting for a message, re-
peats to the member employing him
the report outside. If it seems plausi-
BILE the member is sure to repeat it to
someone else. and thus the rumor is sent
ON its rounds.
One of the most persistent of rumors
is the report of Vanderbilt's death or
fatal illness. 1t is sure to turn up every
two or three months. In some in
stances it may have Legitimate origin, as
for instance, the great capitalist may act
ualIy be indsposed, and this fact, after
many repetitions, grows into report of
his death. But there is no reason to
doubt that the rumor generally is
started by someone who wishes to de-
press prices and is willing to resort to
this device to- effect his purpose.
One of Intermediates of the street is
of an operator on his last legs who
made desperate effort to recover him.
self. He hired man to stand ON the
corner of Nassau and Fulton streets
and quietly announce that Commodore
Vanderbilt was reported dead, That
was when the Commodore was living.
In an incredible short space of time the
rumor reached Wall street. Prices de-
elined in, consequence, but in the even
ing the Commodore in person vigorously
denounced the originator of the re-
port.
A well-concocted lie will often effect
decided change in the price of secur-
ity. The originator of rumor that is
to be effective must make 1t plausible,
and so mix truth and fiction together
that even the most astute dealers will
be deceived. Hence the art of making
ramors basin fact reached a high state
of perfection.

What 1t Means.

The cry the Republican party must
go says concisely what thinking men
feel.
1t means more than at first appears
At the outset, observe: Not Repub-
icans, but the Republican party, must
go.
Not intolerance of men, but of meth
DDS; not hatred of principles, but of
power abused; not prejudice against a
party for what it has been, but con-
tempt for what it is, is the meaning.
1t is not vindictive; it is not narrow
minded. 1t expresses truth.
Long continuance in power is fatal to
any party. We do not attempt to trace
the steps of this inevitable decay. We
do seek that this decay of mere party
shall by no means corrupt the body
polite. We find disease. We seek
health.
There is no hope for the Republican
party in itself. It must go. The salt
has lost its SAVIOR. Is there a Sumner,
or a Greeley, or Phillips, or Lin
coin, or Garrison, or Seward to-day
giving the life of his great spirit to
party councils? The grand old party
has ,outlived its vigor- Old, but no
longer grand, it must 60. Dorseys and
Bradys, Belknaps and Babcocks, How
gates and Shepherds, Kelloggs and Ma
homes, Robesons and Chambers, are the
men who, in spirit or in person, rule.
For what does it exist?
The great mass of its own nominal
adherents have lost faith in it. Thou
sands whose lives have been spent in its
service see that its usefulness is past.
Well for this party if it's history had
closed before 1876. In the eight years
past who will sum up the losses of the
Republican party? Men of conscience,
men of honesty, have been compelled
to leave it. Patience has ceased to be
a virtue. Place-holders may call it
presumption, vindictive, unmeaning
prejudice. The war-horse style of ora
tors may begin their charges as of old.
But the times have changed and the
people with them. Hypocrisy must 60.
Whoever is deceived is deceived will

Artesian Wells in the Far West.

The people of Montana are fully
alive to the value of artesian wells.
They have great tracts of land that can
be made to blossom as the rose' if
artesian water can be obtained. From
the CONFORMATION of the country, they
feel quite confident that artesian wells
will prove successful in nearly all the
places where there is now lack of
water on the surface of the ground.
They have set about boring test. wells.
These experiments are being made by
companies. If they prove successful
they will be a safe guide for Individuals
and small communities of men of limit
ed means. At Billings is the Montana
Artesian Well Company. and at Helena
the Helena Artesian Well Company
In regard to this last-named company
the Helena Herald says: ''They have
received their engine, steam-power tools
and rigging, and have them on the
ground ready for operation. The place
selected for the Helena welf'is on East
Broadway, near the reservoir, beyond
Dry Gulch, where the derrick will soon
be raised and the machinery put to
work. The company has secured the
services of two experienced drillers from
Bradford, Pa, and one of them,
Mr.. Clarke, has full charge. 1t has
been claimed that anywhere upon
the foothills of the Rocky Mount
aims, in Montana, flowing water
would be found at depth of less than
500 feet. From the many successful
wells lately constructed in Colorado.
we have no. doubt that Helena well
will prove the truth of our expectations.
The location is perhaps as good as could
be found within the CITY limits. and wa
will soon have the satisfaction of seeing
flowing water from the top of the first
artesian we'll in Helena, very much to
the joy of our neighbors on East Broad.
way and throughout the city.'' a3' Isf u
In Nevada an experiment of the same
kind is being made at White Plains, and
it is likely to prove successful. The
White Plains we'll is being SINK in a
salt field. The first water found was
quite salt, and was tubed out, but at the
depth Of over 1,4o0 feet pure fresh wa
ter has been found. As yet it does not
rise to the surface, but the boring will
be continued. and no doubt a fewinp

this well is sunk is probably as un-

Be gazing all about.
And if run or jump, you know,
My hair gets out of curl;

When I'm a little country girl,
Up almost with the sun,
I take my old straw hat. and out
Into the grass run.

And no one near to see how fast
Across the fields / go.

And sister and the rest,
But tell me, tell me truly. which
