A correspondent Of the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, speaking Of
the DETACHMENT of paint by the mad.
vertent or needless scratching OF
matches, says that he has observed
when one mark has been made, Others
follow rapidly. To effectually pre-,
vent this. rub the spot with flannel
saturated with any liquid vaseli.e.
After that people may try to strike
their matches there as nuch as they
like; they will neither get light or
injure the paint" and most singular,
the petroleum causes the existing
mark to soon disappear, at least when
it occurs on dark paint.

Mr.. Bissell, of Buffalo, Cleveland's
law partner, says: "The first law case
he had in the Office, a woman came to
him about an imperiled mortgage of
hers, and he got interested in her case
and lifted the mortgage for her, and
it has never yet been paid off by the
woman. Cleveland is friend of
Willard Fillmors's son, Powers, who
will be the last of the line. He is
very popular with the Germans in
Buffalo, who number nearly half the
zoe, 900 thousand people there. They
like him because he keep taxes down.
He has enemies in Buffalo whose
schemes he has opposed"

An admirer says: "Mr. Cleveland is
not politician. He neither evades
nor shufies, nor talks double. His
speech is straightforward, honest and
sincere. He has nothing to conceal,
and he meets those who come to see
him with the same candor of utter,
ancs on political questions that he
would employ in talking about the
weather. His speech all through
shows conservative, bipartisan char
acter."

We regret to announce to eur old
comrades the temporary defeat of
their hopes and expectations by an
INSCRIPTIONS and apparently relsnt-
less foe. The entire Republican PR
ty in the Senate combined to defeat
the bill which passed the House re-
Gently by vote of 227 ayes to As
noes. Several prominent and pre-
sumably sincere statesmen in that
party deceived us by masquerading
before the country as friends of the
House bill, but they were finally
whipped into the traces to vote with
their solid New England masters,
who rule this country with an iron
hand.

That would suit very well. But
wouldn't the republicans lose many
voters, though, when the hangman
gets into office? Possibly that &C,
counts for their big scare.

A Peculiar Book.
j. M. COULTER, Sect'y.

Perhaps the most singular curio i.
ty in the book world is volume that
belongs to the family of the Prince de
Ligne, and is now in France. 1t is
entitled "The Passion of Christ
and is neither written nor printed.
Every letter of the text is cut out of
leaf, and, being enterleaved with
the blue paper, it is as easily read as
the best print. The labor and patience
bestowed in its completion must have
been excessive, especially when the
precision and minuteness of the let.
tiers are considered. The general ex-
ecution in every respect is indeed ad
mirable, and the volume is of the
nsst delicate and costly kind. Ru-
dolph III, of Germany, offered for it in
1910, 1000 ducats, which was prob
ably equal to 100000 at this day.

"A special to the New York Telegram

at Stryker, o., last Friday evening. The eI-

employed in the mill at the time. The mill
was blown almost to atoms and in its debris
some 30 man were buried, IL of whom were
recovered in dying condition. All we're the
heads of families. The explosion was Of
such force that pieces of the boiler machinery
and building were thrown q distance of half
a mile. A piece of the boiler, some three
feet square, was thrown against 3 dwelling
house q quarter Of q mile distant, taking al
most this entire roof away and seriously in

Within fifteen minutes after the explosion

the debris. Women whose husbands were
working at the mill rushed to the scene fill
ing the air with lamentations.

The Democratic party continues its fruit
less search for man to present next week at
Chicago as its presidential nominee. Two
weeks ago it seemed probable that Governor
Cleveland would receive the nomination, but
John Kelly promises to bolt and fight him,
and the party is in doubt about him, though
his chances are still the best of all now in the
field. 1t turns to Randall, but he is narrow
minded, and then, with him as candidate,
what would become of the free-trAde South? II
considers Carlisle, but he is a free trader and
could raise no support from advocates of pro.
lection. BayRrd, who is able and honorable,
unfortunately has q bad secession record.
Then it trembles with the fear that in its mo-
ments of irresolution Butler may swoop
down upon and capture the party. Then il
returns to its first love. Tilden, and half be.
lieves that, after, all, alive or dead, with OF
without q platform, he is the best man to
nominate. Like man lost in the-woods the
Democratic party, starting from Tilden,
comes around eventually, every time, to the
point from which it started-Tilden.
