POLITICAL DRIFT

We've "a letter from your sire, baby"
Oscar.
Has Mr.. Cleveland pulled the solitude

The Democratic party seems to be in a
state of political coma

legs and madly paving the air.
Cleveland's literary style is not as bril-
liant as that of Blaine nor as pungent as
that of Butler. His value as newspaper
man would be that of six dollar week

James Redpath, who has been especially

MISS JARBEAU's UORNS


Miss Vernona Jarbeau, who is consid-
cred one of the most fascinating burlesQue
artists upon the American stage, and who
counts her admirers by legiOns, is said to
be victim to that acutest of physical
tortures, corns. She wears an exceedingly
small shoe, yet we are told that il her
feet were free from the remOrseless ex-
crescenccs which keep her in constant
martyrdom her shoes would be at least
four sizes smaller than those she now
wears. The young lady's atiiction came
about in singular fashion. Three years
ago while spending the summer season
at Newport, a jealous professional rival
gave her pair of Chinese bathing slip
pers, which Miss Jarbeau, suspect
ing no treachery wore into the
surf daily. 1t was subsequently discov-
cred that these slippers were wrought of
medicated pongee silk and the bark of
certain Chinese shrub or tree which is
similar to the deadly upas, which exhales
such fatal poisons. In a few weeks Miss
Jarbeau began to experience severe pains
in her feet, and these twinges did not sub
side till her shapely pedal extremities
were literally covered with corns varying
in size from the proportions of nutmeg
to the dimensions of a maiden's tear
Alarmed beyond measure by these symp-
TOMS Miss Jarbeau consulted famous
chiropodists, only to learn that the malady
was incurable-that once taken into the
system the subtle Chinese poison could
never be eradicated Consequently this
vivacious actress, who had never incased
her tiny feet in wear larger than ten
year-old child's shoe, was compelled to
bravely face the necessity of making her
appearance in No. is. The jealous pro-
fessional rival who wroughtall this misery
did not survive to enjoy the pain she had
entailed upon another. By singularly
Just dispensation of Providence she fell
out of a three story window and broke
her neck last Michaelm as, that being
the 23rd anniversary of Miss Jarbeau's

A FLOWER-RED CLOCK

From the san FrOnciscO CALL
The judges house was over in the
French quarter of New Orleans, unat-
tractive outside, but rs soon as you got
into the broad hall cool breeze struck
you, laden, without eXaggcratiOn, with the
balm Of a thousand flowers. The hall led
right through the house and opened into
regular fairy land of fiOwers-a garden
he like of which | never dreamed of. 1t
was surrounded by high wall and had
plants in it from every country under the
sun. The white haired old gentleman and
q group of grandchildren about him took
us about, and the first thing we stopped
at was large oval plot, set out with small
plants around the edge. This" said
the judge, is my clock. What time is it,
Clara?' he asked of one of the children.
The girl ran around the plot and said it
was four o'clock, and so it was. The -four
o'clock was in bloom. '1n fact, ;" said
the storyteller, 'the clock was made up
of flowers" In the center was pair OF
hands, Of wood covered with some beauti-
full vine; but they had nothing, however,
to do with the time-telling.
The plan was this: The judge had no

principle he had selected plants of differ
ent hours and placed them in a circle,
twenty fourin number, one forevery hour
For example, at the top Of the earthen
clock, at 10 o'clock, was planted the
portulacca, and he told me that it would
bloom within ten minutes of IL, and rarely
miss. At the hours of 1, 2 and 3 he had
different varities of the same plant, all of
which bloomcd at the hour opposite to
which it was planted. AT A o'clock he
had our common plant of that name, and
you all know how you can depend on
that. At the garden nictago came out,

ing primrose. Opposite s O'Clock he had
the bona nox, and at 9 the silence nOcti-
fora-all these blooming at or near the
time given. At 10 O'Clock, if | remem-
Der rightly, he had cactus, at II, another
kind, and at 12 the night blooming
cereus.
Half the year some of the plants don't
bloom at all. The plants opposite 1 and
2 in the morning Were cacti that bloomed
about that time, and at three was planted

at 5 the snow thistle, and at the dande-

1t Would be Queer Indeed.

1t would be queer turn IN the
whirligig of politics if Senator Cam

has been more largely attended and
the number of exhibits greater than
in any former year. The farmers OF
this and other States are taking a
great interest in the Grange, and it is
now reaching far beyond the limits
of picnic, and assuming the proper
tons of fair. Exhibitors OF every
agricultural implement describable
have been on the grounds, and while
no premiums have been offered, the
competition has been none the less
spirited. We regret, however, that
in the midst of all the various objects
of interest there is none of the handl-
work of colored men, which goes to
show that in this great Common
wealth we need more of the spirit O
enterprise If we would be recognizec

The Worlds Exhibition at New
Orleans.

The Worlds Exhibition, which is
TO be held in New Orleans, commenc-
ing December st, will be remarkable
in more than one sense. For the first
time in the history of the Nation the
negro-American will be properly re-
presented, officially and otherwise.
Every opportunity will be afforded
him to display his handiwork, and
show to the world what natural and
cultivated genius he possesses, not
witbstanding his deprivation and ex-
clusion from the work shops and
work benches of the country. That
he will make creditable showing no
one need doubt. Had this kind of
encouragement been extended on
former occasions no allowance would
have to be made for any short come
ings. We trust the colored people of
this State and every other State in the
Union will contribute something that
that will be creditable to them. A
special pride and an earnest interest
should be taken in this work, as it is
stepping stone into the progressive
ness of America.

Plans and Purposes.

Stephen Grover Cleveland says |
am chosen to represent the plans,
purposes and policy of the Demo
cratic party. These words are sutfi-
cient to defeat any man for the Presl-
dency of the United States When
man places himself squarely upon
this issue he stands out in the clear
sunlight Of publicity, where the
people see him representing every
thing that is discreditable in politics.
To represent the plans Of the Demo
cracy is to encourage the red shirt
ridins tissue ballot manipulators, ku-
klux klans, white leaguers and all the
horde Of damnable political cut
throats and thieves To represent its

those things to which it is diametri-
calIy opposed. Its purpose is to mis-
lead the working man by its peculiar
position upon the great questions of
the day. Nov, as to its policy, who
can say the Democratic party has a
policy. If 50, what is it? Neither
the platform of the party or the can
aidates' letters Of acceptance defines
it. and n party hidden in its ultimate
intentions and trying TO conceal at
every point its true object, is un-
worthy the trust of the American
people.

Shakespeare said that swallows loved
pure air in this line: Where they
most breed and haunt, have observed
the air is daiicate," but his saying was
never so fully verified as lately. 1t is
an authentic and curious account that
towns in France in which the cholera
has broken out are completely desert
ed by the swallows. AS the food of
the birds consists of insects. there was
no reason for their departure except
the air.
Parts of an ancient human skull have
been found by DR.. M. Barcena in a
hard siliceous limestone near the bor-
der of lake Texcoco. Mexico. The
limestone. whose origin is unknown,
is covered with deposit made by the
water of the lake, and it is evident that
since the entombment of the skull both
the rock and the material above it have
been elevated several feet-probably
by the eruption which projected an
eruptive hill near the locality.
A plan of accurately measuring the
temperature of distant station by tel
ephone has been described by DR.. r.
Lenz. Two wires-one of silver and
one of iron, or one of antimony and
one of bismuth-connect the observer
with the distant place, and any varia-
tions in the end loops of the wires as
regards temperature causes o sound in
a telephone, which ceases when the
temperature at the observers loop is
brought to the same point as that Of
the opposite end-which may be miles
away.
