9Dickey Peanuts

Jaetaon Baerga,ubo, of Randolph,
Massachusetts, a street peanut-vender,
has fallen heir to the title and estate of
a wealthy count of northern Italy. The
story of his remarkable career is briefly
as follows:
About twenty-five years ago Antiquis
Totila, a second son of noble family
of northern Italy, embarked at Leghorn
with his wife and infant son for America
hoping to increase the scanty portion
which the Italian laws of primogenture
had awarded him. He left behind an
only brother, who had inherited the vast
possessions of the family. The ship en-
countered extremely bad weather, and
before the voyage was half completed
the young father and mother sickened
and died. When the vessel reached
Boston the orphan child fell into the
hands of one Baergalubo, Boston pea
nut vender, who, though ignorant of its
parentage and poor himself. adopted
him, and treated the little waif as son
Five or six years ago Baergalubo
went from Boston to Randolph and set
up street stand for the roasting and
sale of peanuts. Business prospered,
and the vender brought his family here
to live, among the rest his adopted son,
Jaetaon. Two years afterward the old
man died, and Jaetaon. then young
fellow of 20 years, assumed control of
the business. So, year in and year out,
he stood stoldly, turning the crank of
the roasting-machine, and dealing out
apples and nuts to the passers-by. little
dreaming of the title and estates that
were awaiting him on the other side of
the Atlantic.
The rich uncle never made any in
quiries in relation to the child left desti-
tute by his brothers death, for upon his
decease, over year ago, the lawyers
in charge of his affairs were unable to
find any clew to the child, who, being
the next of the KIN. would inherit the
property, as the deceased had never
married. After long and persistent
search it was learned that the boy had
been adopted and brought up in Boston
in the manner above described, and
through the assistance of the Italian
| consul he was located at his present
place of abode.
Jaetaon has placed the matter in the
hands of prominent lawyer of this
| town, from whom the facts were OBJ
tanned. He is a sturdy, broad-shoul-
dered fellow, of pleasing address, and
has pretty little wife and two small
children. He is happy and contented
with his lot. To his former customers,
to whom he was known by the undigni-
fed appellation of .'Dickey Peanuts,
it will seem strange to address him by
his proper title of count. In few
weeks the necessary papers will be pre-
pared and the Identification properly
completed, and Mr.. Baergalubo will
leave the peanut-stand to 90 to Italy to
succeed to the title and possessions of
his family

When the vote does come it will be seen
that the high tariff members and the
low tariff members are far apart, and
no amount of coaxing or coercion can
bring them together.
The pet tariff hobby of the Demo-
Gratis, with which they expected, and
firmly believed they Were going to cap
ture the people, will go to pieces when
vote is reached, and the ''dear people,
who were going to be so greatly re-
ieVed, will find that the Democrats
were only playing the sugar game to
catch votes. II may be. and there is
every reason to believe it, that the
Democrats in Congress will not take
the tariff bill from the hands of the
Committee, but win let the whole mat
ter quietly rest until after the Chicago
convention which, of course, means
until after the Presidential campaign.
Not being able to agree on the passage
of the tariff bill as presented. they IN ay
agree on letting the bill ''sleep the sleep
that knows no awakening"

Chicago, dare repeat its platform OF

Has the currency proved failure?
Has there been any failure TO pay the
honest debt of the Nation? As far as
law is concerned, has there been any
failure In reconstruction? And any and
every failure in the poorest and weakest
citizen to receive his individual rights
lays at the feet of the Democratic party.
If the Democratic party of to-day could
sweep all the past of history out of ex-
istence and start new without prin-
ciple it would be in better trim TO win
a battle in a contest with intelligent
people. How would it do to declare.

ciple it ever advocated has become OBJ

A Louisiana Picture.

1t is evening, and the landscape
stretches out before one in virgin love
illness. The sun god, ere he bids adieu
to this scene, kisses the sinuous bayous
and streaks their mirrored tops with
silver, lrightens up the moss that
streams from the heads and limbs of
trees, ana throws one blood-red CLEAN
through yistas of evergreen dying away
into blue dreaminess. Then the twilight
comes oa, and soon the pale crescent
filings its mystic beams upon the earth.
The giant oaks, bedecked with moss,
seem to assume fantastic shapes. They
create suggestions of gibbets and of
corpses, 81 rotten rigging and of the
tatteled sails of ships drifting to the
unknown shore. How Dore could have
painted every form of goblincy, every
fancy of ghostliness, every grimness of
witchcraft, every horror of death sug-
gested by them! A weird spell takes
hold of you. You imagine deep
mourning dropping over the plains.
The woods and groves, the reeds and
bayous appear to lament some great be-
reavement, some terrible death. It
seems as though this land were yet
weeping for Pan. And these, or recol-
lections Of the sylvan gods and nymphs
OF the antique world, crowd thick and
fast upon you; the great cleanliness of
The land mesmerizes you with unuter-
able sweetness. Afterward, when you
have returned to New Orleans aud its
gay friyolities, its west end and its
Spanish forts, its glittering saloons and
its fascinating masquerade balls, It's
brilliant halls and luxuriously appointed
gambling rooms, its Creole and Spanish
American beauties and its fetes and
parties and thousand and one other
attractions, the mesmerism will not
have passed away, nor the wondrous
witchery of the enchanted scenery
wholly blotted from the mind. -EG-

Dangers in Girls, schools.

One O the practices most energeti-
caiiy relied on in the higher class OF
girls schools, says the Popular Science
MONTH";, is that of the competition of
one scholar with another. In some of
them ills competition is terrific. II
extends to every subject; it becomes
SO keen Is to put each girl who is in
the foremost rank in fever heat OF
emniatlon before the examinations. In
some cases it oYermasters every other
feeling tor the time being. No doubt.
from the schoolmaster's point OF view,
it is the very thing lie wants. In his
professional enthusiasm he aims at the
highest mental result He is not pro-
fessionally interested in the health or
the special nervous constitution of his
girls; he does not regard them as each
one. a medieo-psychological entity and
problem. / don't say this by way of
reproaeh. All good men try to attain
the highest result in their special de-
partments The educator has no
means Of knowing the constitu-
ton and hereditary weakness of his
girls-that the mother of one died of
consumption, that the father of another
was insane, that one has been nervous,
another had commissions when baby.
another has been threatened with water
iii the head, etc. His own education
and training have not taught him to
notice or know the meaning of narrow
chests, or great thinness, or STOPPING
shoulders, or very big heads, or quick.
lerky movements, or dilated pupils, or
want of appetite, or headaches, or irri-
liability, or backaches, or disinclination
to bodily exertion. But all these
things exist in abundance in every big
school, and the girls handicapped in
that way are set into competition with
those who are strong and free from
risks. 1t Is the most nervous, excita-
BILE, and highly-strung girls who throw
themselves into the school competition
most keenly. And they, of course. are
just the most liable to be injured by it.
All good observers say the intensity of
feeling displayed in girls competitions
Is greater than among lads, and that
there is far more apt to arise a personal
animus. Girls don't take beating so
quietly as boys. Their moral constitu-
ton, while in some ways stronger than
that of boys, especially at that age, suf-
fers more from any disturbing cause.
The whole thing takes greater hold of
them--is more real.

Cannot Agree.

II is evident the Democrats in the
House of Representatives will split on
the tariff question The latest is that
ex-Speaker Randall is to inaugurate a
fllibustering scheme to overcome the
Democratic majority and vote MIR. Nor
rison's tariff revision out of the House.
When the Committee of Ways and
Means were at work upon the tariff bill,
it was questioned whether Mr.. Randall
and his protective tariff Democratic
conferrees would acquiesce in the bill
presented by the Committee and let the
matter 90 through without trouble.
Some who were apparently posted upon
the position occupied by Mr. Randall,
said he would cross swords with the
low tariff men and fight it out at once.
As the time draws near when action
must be taken Mr.. Randall seems to be
on the aggressive; and it is reported that
the Pennsylvanian's constituency are
watching closely the movements of their
representative. OF this Mr.. Randall is
fnllv advised, and he is keen enough to
know that his political standing here
after depends upon the amount OF salts
faction he gives those watching Penn
svlvanians. The stand he has always
taken will no doubt be adhered TO- ana

Cause OF the Floods.

The disastrous and annually increas-
ing floods in Western rivers have raised
the question as to whether these unprec-
edented overtlowS are caused bv rain
falls exceeding any heretofore known,
or whether they are in any great meas
IRE due to the removal of forests and
improved drainage. In mountainous,
rocky and treeless regions few hours
rainfall will fill a parched gully with o
dangerous torrent. The water makes
its way to its final level as 1t would from
a roof. There is nothing to impede it.
With us n large proportion of the heavy
rainfall is stored in swamps, sloughs
and woodlands. 1t seems certain that
any agency that decreases the number
or capacity of these natural reservoirs
will increase the floods following an I'M
usual fall of rain.
In the valley of theOhio, where the over
flow, during the late flood, was the great
est, there has been, within the last few
years, no marked increase in the acre
age of land cleared of forest, so that if
the increasing height of the flood is to
be attributed to modification of nat
ural conditions, it is due to an increased
AREA Vi ufdlHcu ItuuS. Anu tue cause
seems sufficient to produce the effect.
Since 1870 over $4,000 miles of tile
drains have put down in Illinois alone,
and it is believed that as much or more
has been laid in Ohio and Indiana.
The land in these States is generally
level, Astounding in wet lands, and ev-
cry foot of ground accelerates the Jour-
ney of a portion of the rain that falls
near it. And drainage has but Just be-
gun. Every swamp and piece of wet
land in all the fertile regions of the
country are destined to be drained.
Throughout the Western States, wher-
ever proper material for the manufac-
ture of tile can be found, manufactures
are springing up. the amount of tile sold
each year showing q gain over the pre-
ceding one.
Mr.. FL. w. S. Cleveland, Chicago's
well-known landscape gardner, in a
communication to the New York Nation,
adopts this theory of explanation of the
increase of foods, and maintains that
still greater oyerilows may be expected
hereafter, and the banks of the rivers
that are liable to overflow will have to
be abandoned for human habitation
Mr.. Cleveland suggested that the evil
may in measure be averted by the con-
struction of large artificial reservoirs
and by forest planting. Chicago Jour
