The Secret is to Keep Rustling." ="

The Chicago Herald, during the Re-
publican Convention in that city,
printed tho following:
A slim man, with blue suit and. a
soft black felt hat, was bobbing around
the Palmer House lobby talking poll
tics and business.
"I'm what is known as a rustler in
Dakota. Rustic, rustic, rustic all the
time. Never stop rustling. Keep 'er
up. That's the way towns are built,
railroads put down, settlers obtained,
votes nabbed, offices got, honors Sc
cured. Rustic yourself Never stop
rustling. If Jim Blaine was a rustler
he would bave been President eight
years ago. Never let up. | rustled a
town in Dakota once and made an

Some hours later, as police potrol

HELENA, Montana, June 29.-Maior
Allen Pigeon, Indian agent for North
ern Montana, reports that Indians are
dying fast from the scant food supply
at the agency, The carpenter has
furnished thirty coflins in the past
month, but it is believed that the
deaths are fully thrice that number,
as the Indians have a great dislike
to burrying their dead, they prefer
ring the old custom OF placing the
bodies in trees or in stone piles on
high hills. The death rate is greatest
among children from five to twelve
years of age. In another week the
supplies will be entirely exhausted
and the three thousand Indians on
the reservation will be left to starve
or subsist,on the cattle of the settlers.
Trouble is feared.

OF the countless good stories attri-
buted to Artemus Ward, the best one,
perhaps, is one which tells Of tho ad-
vice which he gave to southern
railroad conductor soon after the war.
The road was in a wretched condition,
and the trains, consequently, were run
at phenomenally low rate of speed.
When the conductor was punching
his ticket, Artemus remarked
"Does this railroad company allow
passengers to giye.i it advice, il they DO
so in respectful manper?'
The conductor replied in grufi' tones
that he Guessed so.
"Well,' Artemus went on, ''it oc-
cured to me that il would be we'll to
detach the cowcatcher from the front
Of the engine and hitch it to the rear
OF the train, for you see we are not

Gums Found at Gibraltar.

A diver engaged in diving opera
tions off the coast opposite Gibraltar,
under Apes Hill, with object OF ascer-
tanning the Whereabouts of a recent
wreck, has discovered at the bottom
from eighty to one hundred large
guns, mostly % and so Founders, and
also two large anchors. They are
supposed to have belonged to some
large line OF battle ships which sank
in the old war, possibly after the bat
tie of Trafalgar. AS there was no ap
paratus for the purpose none of the
guns were brought up, so that it has
not been possible to ascertain theil
nationality.

"On Wednesday, the 25th, o check

to match Jay-Eye-See for a race or an

$4,000 a side, half forfeit to be trotted
either at Hartford, Providence, or
Chicago, as may be mutually agreed
upon each party to choose one Judge
and they third ; the TUyf Field and

ton heat clause is put in to meet any
objection that Mr.. Vanderbilt may
raise to trotting Maud s. a three in

Gorden believes that Clingstone is a
better horse than Jay-Eye-Seee, now

The Benediciaries OfProtection.
The Philadelphia Press has recently
issued circular asking for subscrip-
tions to the amount of $4,000 at least
for the purpose of sending out copies
of its weekly edition into doubtful
Congressional districts and to call vo-
ters who are inclined toward free
trade" 1t is proposed to mail the
paper "to all those people" for "three
or four months, as may be decided
previous to the November elections.
During this time" the circular goes on
to say, "the subject of Protection will
be presented in the most complete and
able manner by the Hon. Robert P.
Porter, tariff editor Of the Press, and
Joseph D. Weeks"
Although some of our contempora-
ries profess to see something wrong in
this missionary effort to make protec-
ton converts, yet there does not seem
to be any particular harm in it. But
let us see to whom the Press looks for
assistance i'll its laudable attempt,
or, in other words; "Who is for
tie Press because the Press is for
them"
The question is easily answered.
The circular became public property
upon its discovery in the Office Of a
prominent Pennsylvania iron maru-
facturer, and the obligation to which
subscribers to the twenty thousand
dollar fund arc asked to afiix their sig
natures provides that the papers "shall
be distributed under the direction Of a
committee representing each of the
several industries contributing" and
this committee consists of representa-
tiyos from the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal Company, Now York the Besse-
mer Steel Company Qimitcd), Phila-
delphia the Union Pottery Company
Trenton, N. j.; = firm Of glass manu-
facturers at Quinton, N. j., and the
Executive Committee OF the Textile
Association, Philadelphia.
Here is the lot--iron, coal, Bessemer
steel, pottery, glass and wood. These
arc the infant and tottcring industries
enlisted in the cause Of protective
tariff in order to maintain the wages
of Ameaican labor.
Iron protected over 40 per cent.
coal, Is per cent Besscmer steel rails
SO per cent. pottery, 43 per cent
| glass, 55 per cent, and wool, raw and
manufactured, SO per cent, altogether
enough to pay all the wages of all the
men, women and children employed
at least twice over-these are the in
terests which seek to convert "fret
traders" in doubtful districts with
arguments which they have printed
with their own money in papers like
the Philadelphia Press,
The country ought to be obliged t
them for getting out OF cover Gnt
parading openly and above board
where all can see them. There is III
difficulty now in telling why the Pres
speaks, and for whom it speaks. l
certainly ought not to have the assur
ance to make a further pretense o
representing in the remotest degre'
the workingmen Of the country, who
at the beginning of long summer
find business dull, strikes common
lockouts frequent, reductions an every
day happening, and future prospect
anything but encouraging under th
abominable system which the Press AM
its friends in the coal, iron, steel, glass

Great and wise men often change
their minds, while fools seldom do it.
in 1876, when Blaine was defeated by
Hayes in Cincinnati, Halstead made
proclamation in the Commercial-"We
have escaped a great calamity"
In 1884, when Blaine was nomina-
ted at Chicago, Halstcad proclaimed
in the Commercial -"It had to hap
pen, 1t was in the air and sunshine"
Now the Ohio Democratic organs will
run the campaign on Halstead's sting
ing editorials against Blaine, and Hal
stead will want large assortment OF
sunshine to line the clouds he flung
upon Blaine eight years ago,

fascinated the worst elements in the
Chicago Convention he attracts Jay
Gould and Russell Sage and Chauncey
Depew and all the monopolists and
railroad jobbers, and finally he fasci-
mates the Tribune, which has all along
been the organ OF Toryism, class legis-
lation and monopoly. There can be
no doubt of Mr.. Blaine'spersonalmag-

The dandies of Venice in its golden
days piqued themselves on the elc-
gance of their visiting cards. At one
time they carried picture of the
Rialto; and another the fashionable
pattern was a sketch of some of the
statutes round the Vale at Padau !;
but the more modish and aesthetic
were not content with cards cast off
by the hundreds for every one, but de-
signed their own cards, bestowing
much labor and ingenuity OH the
work, or they employed some distin-
guished artist to furnish them with a
design. Even Canova did not refuse
to put his genius to this service for
his friend Capello; and one of the
most beautiful of these Venetian visit
ing cards is that drawn and printed in
London for Alvisc Pisani by Henry
Trcsham, the English painter.

The ChnIern-RaciIIns.

Tie reports Of the commissions which
were sent to Egypt to inquire into the
cause Of the cholera last year have at
tracted a great deal Of attention. DIR.
Koch, Of the German Commission, has an
nOunced most positively that lie has dis
covered the cause Of the terrible disease.
He has found what he calls the cholera
bacillus. He has not, however, yet pre-
scented any tangible evidence Of his dis
covery. but the other commissions agree
with him as to its genuineness. The SGni-
tartan for June devotes considerable space
to the reports. and furnishes the following
description Of the bacilh:
They are not quite straight as other
bacilli are. but slightly curved, eOrunna-
like. The curvature may be even so
marked that the stave may almost pre-
sent Il semi-circular form. From these
curved slaves, S-shaped figures, and
more or less elongated, slightly I'M
dulating, linear forms may be de-
veloped in pure cultivation, Of
which the first two segments and the
last correspond TO the form of the bacilli
as found in cholera, and which, cOntinu-
ously increasing in number, remain at
tached to one another Such bacili
were found in all the intestinal discharges
of cholera cases. and IN the intestinal ca
nal at post norton examinations, but not
in any other disease, nor in dirty water
from various sources"
The last report from DR.. Koch was re-
ceived from Calcutta, to which city the CON-
mission went from Egypt. Experiments
were made there with certain agents to
test their power to destroy the bacilh. The
experiments showed that dry heat Killed
them and that they remained active IN
water or a moist atmosphere. In his re-
port from India DR.. Koch says that IN that
country, where the drinking water IS Kept
in tanks situated, in many instances,
near cess pools, lit has often been
noticed that local epidemics OF
cholera frequently exist in the
vicinity of these tanks among per-
sons who have used the water.
The water of tank thus situated,
on examination was found to contain the
same bacilli found in the objections Of
cholera patients. After the subsistence
of the epidemic, the baeilh were no
longer discoverable in the wafer. These
observations are accepted as strong evil
dence i'm favor of the specific character Of
the bacillus discovered by Koch"
