4 Very Thin Story.

Chicago Herald.
The Blackburn story about Garfield
and how he prevented Grant from
plunging the country into civil war" at
the electoral commission times sounds
rather fishy. Gen. Grant probably never
had any serious purpose of marching
troops into the house of representatives
to suppress democratic fllbustering If
he had Garfield was not the man to
thwart his purpose. In all those exciting
times, from the day the Hayes fraud was
concocted until he was inaugurated, Gar
field never rose above the blindest parti-
sanship. nor was the sound Of his voice
once heard, in private or in public, as was
Conking's, in depreciation of the methods
by which Hayes was seated.

The Great Canal.

The New Orleans Times Democrat has
received a most interesting letter from
one of the wealthiest residents of Colon
Aspinwall, which fully corroborates all
that journal has published regarding the
business situation on the Isthmus.
The Panama Canal company has at
least 20, 900 laborers and employees en-
gagged at different localities along the
route from Colon to Panama. Six i'm
nnense exCavators are at work at differ
ent points, and the old railroad bed has
been widened so as to receive several
supplementary tracks Scores of miles
Of portable rail tracks radiate from the
main line in all directions, and hun
dreds of dump cars are engaged in carry
ing the material taken out by the eXca-
vatOrs to the numerous hollows and
ravines which intersect the mountain
range that divides the two oceans.
All is hustle, life and activity. Money
is plentiful, house-roOm can scarcely be
provided for the numerous emigrants
brought out by each steamer that touches
at the ports, while the hotels are filled
to overfowing. 1t will not be an exag-
geration to assert that the movement of
money paid the laborers and employees OF
the canal company, together with that
paid the stevedOres and sailors at the two
isthmian ports, the carpenters and ma
sons engaged in Colon and Panama, the
clerks of the numerous business houses,
the agricultural labOrers and handlers of
the fruit crop. and the other workmen
and artisans who are earning their hvli-
hood in this busy hive, may be justly
estimated at at least, $50 900 per day.
Thus, extraordinary as it may seem, the
labor movement on the Isthmus Gnclud-
ing the highest salaried officers Of the
railroad and canal companies) will this
year reach the enormous sum Of from
$15, 600 to $50, 900.
These facts furnish a very interesting
theme for the consideration of the mer-
chants of New Orleans. The Isthmus con-
tains floating population of 10000
souls, who, together with the permanent
inhabitants, require to be fed. Mr.. Schu-
Der, formerly of this city, has several
vessels running along the coast north
and south of Panama, carrying cattle for
the consumption of this vast army of
worl1men, besides furnishing the regular
markets. But the high price for fresh
meat, and the great demand for the
article, renders the sale of salt and dried
meats and fish, and flour, rice and Indian
meal, pilot bread crackers, ETC., very
profitable as well as prompt

THE MAGAZINE RIFLE
Too Expensive to be Adopted in the
German Army.

Too Expensive TO be Adopted in the
German Army.
1t is now generally admitted by the
German military authorities that fnan-
cial considerations alone prevent the i'm
mediate adoption of magazine or re-
peating rifle as the general armament of
the infantry Of the army. Not only
would the direct expense of providing
the new weapons be very great. but the
cartridges now used with the Mauser,
of which immense supplise are stored in
German fortresses and arsenals. would be
rendered useless. as owing to certain
weak points in the manufacture, they
could not be safely fired from magazine
rifle. How enormous must be the
amount of ammunition which would have
to replaced may be deducted from the
fact that the war establishment of the
German army comprised on the 1st Of
Jauary last, including all rank and arms
of the service. no fewer than 2,075, 563
officers and men while the total number

What Prof. Riley Saw.

Prof. Riley, entomologist of the agri-
cultural department, has just finished a
visit to Florida His object was to dis
cover means of destroying insect pests
that affect the orange tree. He thinks
methods for their complete destruction
have been found. He says the cold
weather has not seriously affected the
trees on the st. Johns river or around
Crescent Lake, but the fruit is somewhat
damaged He adds that there is great
activity in fruit culture generally, and
immense progress has been made in the
last two years in the material growth of
the state. The growth of the pineapple,
banana and cocoanut will become a vast
industry, now that there is.a railroad from
Sanford to Tampa The West Indies

Mayor Carter Harrison, Of Chicago, is
a candidate for the democratic nomina-

Butler should be nominated for president
nothing would be more appropriate than
to crafty Mr.. Harrison's ambition. That
would be a combination against which
the nation would register its opposition

The Florida Disaster.
Black Hills Times

Black Hills Times.l
The strangest thing about the re-
cent wreck OF the Florida was her
sudden sinking. The late improved
vessels of her pattern were supposed
to be made up of divided compart-
ments, thus rendering some part of
the vessel always safe in case of COLI
sion. Instead of this, we find that the
Florida sank as quickly as the old
fashioned bark that ran into her. In
deed, she sank so fast that 1913 pas
sengers out of lG1 went down with
her. 1T seems that the passengers
were panic stricken, and before they
could "get their heads" the vessel
went down. This must have occurred
in remarkable short time. If these
compartment vessels are no more Sc
cure froln such fate, why are all
these heavy bills of expense put upon
them? This is certainly case in
point that leaves such vessels open to
criticism. We presume in time this
will be invest gated and given to the
public, but at present it is mystery.

Tut Money in Thy Purse.

There is an opportunity for an en-
terprise in Haley which could be put
IN motion for a comparatively small
sum of money, and which would paw
large dividends on the investment.
The water company has proved \ de-
c'ded success in every respect and
the time Is ripe for the organization
of company for lighting the town.
An investment of not more than
$1,000 would put the electric light in
operation here and would pay in
vestors more than four per cent. per
month on the cost Of the plant. The
expense Of running such an institu-
ton would be very small, and the
earnings of such a company could
easily be made to reach $500 per
month. Water pc YER is plentiful,
cheap and available, and sufficient to
run dynamo-machine could doubt
less be rented, if desired, at very
low rate.
What would be better, and still
more profitable, would be the organ
izaton of a home corporation to
utilize the magnificent water power
afforded by Wood River, now run
ming to waste, and renting power for
running concentration works, foun-
dries, smelters, sawmills, and innu-
merable other manufacturing estab-
lishments which will come in time.

Chambers journal.


Among the oral traditions of the
past in Cambridge, there is handed
down to the modern undergraduate an
account Of a secret society which was
established in the university at a re-
mote period OF time, and which was
called the Lie Society. AT the weekly
meetings Of he members, an ingenious
falsehood was fabricated, which fe-
quently referred to some person locally
known, and which was probably not
altogether free from scandal. 1t was
the duty of all the members to propa-
gate this invented story as much as
possible by relating it to every one
they met Each me mber had to make
note of the altered form in which the
lie thus circulated came round to him
individually, and these were read out
at the next meeting with all the copi
Gus additions and changes the stony
had received passing from one to the
other, often to such an extent as to
leave but little OF the original fabric
lett. After time the society began
to languish, and soon after disap peared
altogether.
