HAVEN, TUESDAY MORNING.


 the strength of dream, that vast treasures were buried somewhere in the crypt of the ancient cathedral, and she professed to be able to discover the exact spot by means of magic wand in her possession. The excava- tions which she proposed were authorized by the French authorities Mme Cailhava went to work with a will, and in short time she had seriously imperilled portion of the foundation of the building without discovering anything. The dean of the chapter at length interfered, and the silly proceedings of the sorceress were put an end to; but not till great deal of money had been spent, and great deal of mischief had been done
 An interesting suggestion has just been made for the introduction of camels into the south of England as beasts of burden for l farmers and others. For a number of years they have been in use in Australia, and their docility and endurance in that country are | highly praised Laden separately, they take about seven hundredweight each, but in team they are able to draw as much as a ton i apiece. By the Australian squatters they are \ extensively employed, and in districts where l The price of young camel is from S250 to l $350 and this sum is not deemed high by 1 the inhabitants of the antipodes. The chief 1 objection to their introduction into England l is that the country is too wet, and camels never get along well on wet ground. After rain they are liable to slip and become use I less. Horses also are much terrified by their l appearance. A similar attempt was made to 1 introduce them here some fifteen years ago, 1 but the idea did not take.
 It is all very well for the Democrats to say 1 that the Morrison bill was not a menace to American industry, but English manufac- I turers and their organs understood the mat l ter. In an article in the London Music ! Trade Review the Morrison bill is described as ''The American bill for the reduction of the tariff, with view to the eventual adop- ton of free trade' The Review says: Had ] the tariff been reduced, more than one of the great European pianomakers was prepared at once to open an agency in New York. ] This to our American friends would of course have been veritable calamity" Why would it have been calamity? The Review answers this question by saying: At pres ent the wages to journymen pianomakers in the United States are higher than in any other quarter of the globe" Makers of other goods besides pianos should bear in mind that in voting for the party which re- jects the system of protection they are in viting for themselves a Ftveritable calamity 3
 Young men: The giants of mythology typified the strength of young men. In the enlightened era of the Christian dispensation young men were strong. To-day the strength of the Republican party is in the young men of the country, of whom it possesses vast majority. The young man is always good for two votes, his own and the one he brings. No party in the history of this country has ever been beaten that had the sympathy and support of the young men of the country, and it has been the chief qualification of the tour I have made that everywhere I have found the young men on our side. You are in the morning of life. The day is before you and your strength is equal to it. You will have the fashioning of the Republic-of it's strength, it's prestige, it's glory, it's destiny 1 long after the generation to which I belong l shall have passed away. See to it that it is ' ! that your hands clean, pure and strong shall bear up the Ark of the Covenant bid you ! good morning. Let us turn together to the duties of new day with it's responsibilities, l and I hope with it's reward.-James G. Blaine, at Cincinnati
 Professor Simon Newcomb, the eminent astronomer, has an interesting article in the l current number of Science on Psychic l Force" in which, while recognizing the de- l sirability of scientific investigation of the ! subject, he deprecates the inquiries made in an advertisement of the new Psychical Socie- ty for evidence bearing on the phenomena of 1 thought-reading, clairvoyanee ,presentiments, apparitions and haunted houses, as lowering l the estimate in which scientific work is held ] by common sense people, from the unsatis- factory nature of the testimony thus elicited. He accounts for presentiments or visions of ! deaths by the frequency of extraordinary coincidences which occur somewhere every ! day in the year. He regards the report of l the committee of the Psychica1 Society on ! haunted houses as on the plane of scientific ghost stories for children. Professor New comb holds that there can be no communica- tion between two minds simply by act of will, but that physical connection is neces- sary to constitute influence of thought though he shows that this connection may be I one of the most delicate kind and such as to evade investigation. Telepathy between l messenger and subject could, he afirms, be I proved only by finding that the subject was I affected by the messenger when the former was not within the sight, hearing or knowl- edge of the latter
