the probability that the gentle Benjamin will

Mr.. Hendricks imagines that he is the chief
character in the presidential drama instead of
Mr. Cleveland. He is playing Iago to Cleveand's
Othello, and in proof may be mentioned his let
ter to Dubuque friend before the election, in
which he said that it would not do to remove
Grover Cleveland from the ticket at this stage
of the campaign" AS if it were Hendricks, and

NhRt,s the Neon Being.

Signs of peculiar and decisive changes were
observed on the slender crescent of the present
new moon. An astronomer within the past ten
days claims to have discovered something I'M
usual going on in the great peak Of Tycho
Brahe, big mountain which has always been a
prominent object on the eastern side of the
moon. TychO is a volcanic crater, nearly
20, 900 feet high and so miles in diameter, and it
had, up to within few days, a peak mile
high standing in this crater. This peak, which
was only bright spot in the midst of black
crater, has suddenly grown to be a gigantic
mountain, nearly filing the entire basin of the
crater, and towering above every other noun
tain on the moon. 1t is estimated now to be
thrice as high as it was, and promises some
startling phenomena. The moon has been called
dead globe, but If it's eternal fires can give it
any claims to life 1t is certainly living corpse.
The signs of a renewal of volcanic action, which
begun to be discussed a century ago, are now
not merely scientific nuts to be cracked by the
astronomers. but they are claimed to be facts
for the people.

Some find work where some find rest,

From the New York Sun
Senator Plumb is much infatuated with the
Commissioner Of Agriculture and lately offered
a resolution admitting the Commissioner to the
floor OF the Senate. He also wants part of the
/. iUO acres of the Arlington estate set aside
playground for the Agricultural department.
When DR.. Loring can read his title clear of this
experimental farm. as he calls it. he will then
acknowledge the authorship of the following
beautiful lines. which will be published in the
North american Herie,c:
Well graft the lobster on the hop,
The oyster bed Wen gayly weed,
The cranberry jelly tree We'll flop,
and save the macaroni seed
The beet root sugar we Will get
BY tapping OF TIE hickory tree,
HOSE cbestnus IN the spring Wen set,
That In the autumn colts Will be.
Wen prune the climbing sorghum vine,
Well dig the rTta baga pear,
The clam shall with the pea entwine.
And both shall, mingling, blossom there.
The Berkshire goat its wool shall she'd
The Bantam COW shall fee d On hay.
Wen milk the ducks all thoroughbred,
That steal the eggs the squirrels lay.
