man Cooper, the hopeful Republican
eampaigner of this State, has pro.
nolnced for the nomination of Blaine.
He says: "Blaine can best succeed
against the accidents that are incident
to every canvass, because he is the one
of all that are named who can best
be elected without New York" With
out that State, he counts 203 electoral
votes as sure for Blaine. He leaves
New Jersey out of his count, but
believes that in g tariff battle Blaine
is certain also of that State. The
electoral vote this year is 401, making
POI a majority.

LONDON, THE HUGE METROPOLIS OF THE
BRITISH EMPIRE, still goes on widening its
area, and the problems Of importance which
it presents to the student of political science,
grand and complex as these already are de-
veloped, are daily becoming more difficult to
solve satisfactorily. Last year there were
added u, 10 houses to this vast centre Of hu-
nan habltation, and this increase made up
3Gl new streets and one new square, and COW
cred distance of more than SO miles. Yet
London builders considered 1888 bad one
for their business Since 1880 the growth
Of London would make town larger than
Liverpool, Manchester, or Birmingham. New.

serious fort on foot to obviate the danger

culated to preserve warmth, houses that are

The ORIGIN OF THE WORD CHARLATAN is
given by German paper as follows In
toe olden time, when the doctors. sitting in
their studies, weighed the ills Of their fellow
man and searched the depths of nature for
remedies, thsy we're not in the habit of rid
ing about; their homes we're hospitals, aud
they did not leave their patients. At that
time genius Of doctor, who knew more
about calculating for himself than medicine,
made his appearance in Paris. His name was
Latan. He procured a small one horse wagon
(char), upon which he packed his remedies
for all possible aft sctions. With these he
drove about the streets of Paris crying out
his wares aud looking for patients. He was
the f7st driving doctor, and soon became re-
nowned. Whenever he came along. the pop
ulace greeted him with VoiLd le char de La
tan" This was soon abbreviated to 'charls-
tan, which at that time denoted a driving
Doctor"

THE FACT THAT ALASKA NOW HAS Civil
GOVERNMENT directs rene we'd attention to the
resources aud prospects of that far of north
western territory. The new governor, j. II.
Kinkead, quietly assumed control in Septem-
Der, the military control exercised by the ma.
val authorities was Withdrawn and Gov. Knk-
cad has been making official visits to various
points to ascertain what sort of territory he
has to govern. With the establishment of ci-
vii control, Alaska will be in a better situation
to invite immigration and the investment OF
capital. The fur interest, the fisheries, the
lumber product aud the mines are already
making Uncle Sans investment OF 81, 200, 600
a valuable one. Other industries are likely
to follow, Lieut.. Schwatka proposes to en-
bark in the business of cattle raising on the
Aeutian islands, which cover an area OF 5000
square miles, nearly one half Of which is avail
able for pasturage, The warm ocean current
from Japan temp rs the olimRt3 of these is
lands, and excellent cattle have already been
raised there. The recent exploration OF a
great river in Alaska, hitherto unknown,
proves that the lumber regions can be easily
reached in summer, aud thus a vast treasure
of wealth is opened TO those who have the
haTdihood to secure it.

Which one of the defeated candidates for

did General Hancock? His wife says that on
the night of the election he went to bed at

ably be someone who would want to see him
that night, he said emphatically: Il cannot
see anyone to night; 1 AN so tired must 60

soundly that when his wife, who stayed up to
hear the news, went to bed she did not dis
turb him, nor did he awake until o'clock

GEN. SHERMAN's HABITS DURING HIS CAM

but one tent attached to his headquarters, and
that was used by his adj1tant general and his
clerks. With his staff he slept on the ground

The ward.Grant Failure.

The more that is known of the whole bust
ness the more the lawyers most intimate with
the case are sure that Gen. Grant and his sons
bad no knowledge whatever of the vllainy to
which they we're made parties in their con.
nection with the notorious Ward. Gen. Grant,
1t is said, has been so impressed with the wis.
dom of keeping clear of Wall street hereafter
that he has assured several friends this sum-
mer that he will never enter into any business
connections of any kind again, and that he
will never again set foot in Wall street, no
matter what business may call him there.
His son, Fred Grant, who year ago was con-
sidered rising young millionaire, and was
living in most exquisite style, has given up
all hopes Of making another fortune, and has
gone to work to grow winter roses for the
New York market. When the crash came
lasl April he had just bought beautiful house
near his fathers for $40, 900, and paid down
$4,000 on account. THIS money he lost, to-
gether with every dollar invested in the frm.
His sole remaining resource was a small coun-
try place at NJ M)rristown, N. j., belonging to
his wife. In order to furnish his city house
with winter roses, he spent last year, when
money was no object about $40, 900 in fitting
up luxurious greenhouses upon his NJ )rris-
town property. He fiuds now that he eau grow
enough roses in his hot houses to make quite
a comfortable income by selling them to New
York florists, and this is to be his business
this winter. He tells his friends that with
reasonably good luck he can clear $4,000 or
$4,000 in year, and that will be sufficient to
enable him to live in comfort Like his faith
err he never wants to see Wall street, and
says he would rather grow roses and make a
bare living all his life than go through again
the purgatory of last spring. l believe Gen.
Grants other sou has gone west to grow up
with the country aud forget, if he can, the
brief season of feverish financial glory which
preceded the explosion. As to Wards chan
ces of getting out of Jail within the next ten
years, everything is possible to him who waits
and has money. Ward is said to take his
confinement very pleasantly, and does not
fret much. His wife and personal friends
still contend that he is the victim of diabol-
ical plot concocted by the veteran specuator
and ex-presdent of the Marine Bank, James
D. Fish.-Nelo York Letter.
