THE HORSE LEACH CRYING FOR
MORE.

Secretary Folger is an apt scholar.
When he entered the Treasury Office he
was not accustomed to the very lavish
ways introduced by his predecessor, Mr..
Sherman, and informed the House APP
preparations Committee in writing that
he was satisfied the number Of clerks OF
his department was too large, but that
he was not at that time able to designate
the particular offices containing the cleri-
cal surplusage.
But two years have now passed and
the education Of the Secretary has adj.
vanced so rapidly that he has never been
able to find those surplus clerks; and
now, although the business of his de-
partment has not increased, he asks for
IN increase Of appropriations to pay sala'
ries of clerks-amounting in round mum
bers to $40, 600.
This is rapid progress for a man who,
two years ago. had too many clerks, and
now wants nearly 81, 900. 900 more thar
he then had to pay clerk hire. 1t mean
a large increase Of the salaries or Of the
number employed.
Fortunately. Mr.. Randall is at the
head of the Committee on Appropriations,
and will save at least 81. 900, 600 out Of
the appropriations to this department.
instead of increasing them $40, 900. al

CHEMICAL THAT DRIVES MEN
INSANE.

California physicians who have at
tended various causes of trouble arising
from the poisonous properties Of bisul-
phide Of carbon have become satisfied
that the inhalation of the vapor of
this substance will produce insanity.
The bisulphide is used in Los Angeles
county to prevent the spead of the grape
disease, phylloxera. Several strong and
healthy men who have been exposed to
the fumes of the vile stuff have become
insane. 1t may be a subject worthy of
investigation whether other deleterious
gases may not in like manner affect the
human brain.

A DIssRUNTLED WIT.

II Noah Webster found the compKia-
tion of his dictionary an actual b OF
love, az he says he did, there would
seem to be little excuse for the country
editor who looks upon himself as the
principal motor in a tread-mill. To those
who have not had the public to please
for breakfast every morning and who have
not had 10 dig and delve and rack his
brain to meet the ever-recurrIng emer-
gency, the monotony of the task cannot
be apparent. There are incidents, how
ever. that serve to break this monotony
in one of its most burdensome require
ments We refer to the indispensable toll
of going through a thousand and n
exchanges. We say indispensable, for
the best part Of the best paper in the
world Is the variety Of interesting mat
ter" which it culls judIciousiy IRON the
press at Iarge-the very cream Of many
minds Of skill and experience in cater
ing to the taste Of newspaper readers.
There is a world Of hog wash, OF course,
but it must be a queer and unapprecia-
tive spirit that does relish the panorama
Of life and character which passes IN re-
review before him as he buries himself in
his exchanges. The chills run down his
back as he climbs up some preciplce OF
~eloquence on a soul-stirring subject. He
is in a daze OF bewilderment and delight,
specializing where the editor whom he
breathlessly follows got his magic charm
of thought and words. Again, in his
desuItory hunt for mental pabulumfor the
gossips OF his little world Of readers ne
runs up against a paragraph freighted
with 30 much human humor that he
drops the paper containing il and laughs
himself into the ~fulIness OF contentment,
for the moment, at least, and wishes
that everybody conld join in the laugh
with him. Just now Mr.. Dana's paper,
the New York Sun, is worth it's weight
in gold to the Democratic country editor.
The great journalist we would liken to a
pretty spoiled miss whose tart sayings
are the p~leasantest OF all, but that he is
q man, and being sore-headed, acts more
as a bear than as a philosopher. Still, his
paper to-day, while it runs over with
fine thunder for Republican politicians,
and breathes too much Of Voltaireis
spirit Of tearing down without ever a
thought Of the nobler task Of building up,
is, in all its disgruntlement, too strong
and sharp not to be relished by even the
most partisan free-trade- northumberland
protection Democrat in the United
States. His latest ill-humored sarcasm
at the expense Of Democracy is IN edi-
toriaI on Joe McDonald's speech to the
Democratic editors Of Indiana. He de-
scribes it by indirect expression as a
lecture on the truisms and platitudes OF
politics and political economy, and bids
the editorial gathering good-by in these
bristling lines:
Mcdonald gave q party,
Where is that party now?
Where is the lovely golden cloud
That hung round the mountains brow ?
Where lie the Observation-Disclosures Stern,
The star OF the spirits lightf

A PHENoMENoN's PHILOSOPHY.
How the Mirage OF the Monument Is
Explained by Science.
To Mc Editor

~ Gtt LsiNW'
Probably many observers were aston
ished at the strange effects produced by
the beams of the electric light which
were thrown upon the monument last
night. The graphic description which
your reporter gave in this mornings
paper may be supplemented by the fol-
lowing word Of explanation Of the strange
appearances.
The beam of light from the Smith
sonian, which was the stronger. was re-
flected by dark cloud. which was favor
ably situated for that purpose, the beam
of light being thereby turned downward,
making the same angle with the horizon
as the incident beam. AS the beam was
not very divergent the reflected one
might produce the impression, as your
reporter stated. that there was another
source of light on tho distant side Of tho
river, which was sending its rays in an
opposite direction.
The rejecting power OF the cloud was
remarkably great, for the reflected beam
was quite half the intensity of the Incl
dent one. The cloud was also very near
the earth, as was indicated by the COM
BaraiySshbYa s6ftese"SS2 50 the Ks69, and ahdf
the point on the other side of the river
at which the beam reached the earth. If
this latter point had beeu determined
so that the distance could be measured it
would, together with tho known direc-
tion of the beam, furnish all data neces-
sary to determine the height of tho
rejecting cloud.
Tho beam from tho treasury depart
ment did not meet SO good rejecting
surface in its upward path, and the
rejecting beam was consequently much
less distinct. w. T. SAMPSON.

Moss, her alleged husband, who has gono
to Knoxville, but this story Is not be-
lieved, and it is supposed that the woman
herself has tho balance Of the money. or
else it is in the possession of woman

BEATTY ORGAN AND PIANO co.
A Wonderful business Rejuvennted
and Established.
Frank LeSIie'S Illustrated Ncicspdpe,

JFuIN Jstottt IHu6tTOleu NClUSDdpeT.
The name of Daniel F. Beatty, of
Washington, n. j., is tolerably we'll
known to the majority Of the people of
the United States in connection with the
manufacture aud sale of musical instru-
ments. By liberal and widespread ad-
vertising, and by dealing direct with the
purchaser he built up most extensive
business in organs, and pianos. 1t was
his ambition to erect and own the largest
organ factory in the world, and ho sue
ceeded in so doing. But the hindrauces
and losses incident to q disastrous fire in
1881, and the, want Of adequate capital,
combined with lack of business method,
led to q serious ENHANCEMENT in his
affairs. Although he made and sold over
seventeen thousand $4,000 organs last
year, his embarrassments, which dated
their origin years before, became SO
serious that he finally sold his business
to corporation composed ofhis creditors
1t is understood that this company, with
ample capital, has undertaken to mako
good as far AS possible all the obligations
of Mr. Beatty, giving preference to the
purchasers of organs and pianos whose
goods are still undelivered, and to whom
it is shipping daily their instruments.
The company is under the presidency of
Mr.. |. w. England, of New York, his
manager being Mr.. w. p. Hadwin; and
tho gentlomen composing the directors
and stockholders are among the best
known and most responsible business men
in tho country. All new orders, we are
assured, are filled on receipt with instru-
ments of tho best quality; while arrear-
ages are being manufactured and shipped
at the rate Of not less than 100 q week.
On such basis, supplying superior
article at a moderate price, free of agents
commissions, tho new concern ought to
achieve great success.
