his mistress of his shutting her up In an
insane asylum of very accommodating re-
ceptivity-which dispersed with all legal
forms and ceremonies of his compromise

Of his seducing virtuous and beautiful

The Enquirer tells the whole story with
frankness that leaves nothing untold ;
and as 1t is hearty and thorough Demo-
cratic paper, we take the Enquirer's story
as frank confession Of the shortcomings Of
its own candidate, which We do not feel
called upon to suppress or refuto. We leave
Democratic organs Of tho ex.Sheriff TO deal
with the Enquirer as they may deem proper
In the mean time permit us TO ask the ques-

ex-Sheriff Cleveland to be, proper man to

of our country We trow not.

The Aesthetics Of Electricity.

In ordinary lights the direction of
the flame is always upward, but electri-
cal illumination is not confined by any
limits. This suggested to Mrs. Edison,
the wife of the celebrated inventor, the
use of fanciful devices as fixtures for
electric lighting. Instead of single
jet faring upward, the electric light
can be distributed in every direction.
Some extremely beautiful results are
thus obtained. In one exhibition is a
fower-pot overgrown with wilderness
Of foliage all done in polished brass.
The lights spring from among the
leaves like flowers from their stem.
Another device is called the umbrella
light; in which the lamps are arranged
in circle located beneath a shining
reflector. A little motor causes the
lamps to revolve, and the result is two
apparent whirling circles of flame.
Another charming effect is hanging
framework of brass, in which the lamps
are so placed that the stems form a
basket that may be filled with artificial
plants and flowers in their natural
colors. The lights can be made to
permeate ornaments in rooms and pro-
duce surprising effects. In the magni-
ficent ballroom or drawing-room of
the future, there will be no faring jets
of flame, the lights will be distributed
SO as not to offend the eye, but will be
so combined as to heighten the effects
of all the decorations of the interior of
tho room,

An Obdurate Fellow.

Three or four dock-wallopers, led by
a man who had 50 bill in his hand,
entered the Office of prominent tug
owner the other day, and the spokes-
man announced:
Say, captain, the boys out there
have been blowing around about the
speed Of tugs, and I've finally made
'em put up
'.How?n
''Why, I've got bet of dollar that
you have a tug which can break the
biggest hawser made, on square
..Wellp''
'.Well, want to win it. If do I'll
divide with YOU
The captain not only refused to send
to Buffalo for the tug mentioned, but
would not pledge himself to buy new
hawser for the trial. In fact he dis
missed the matter SO frigidly that the
stakes had to be returned and the wa
ger declared off. That's just the way
with some men after they get q few
dollars ahead. Detroit Free Press.

Dean Stanley's Love Of America.

The Dean, who was accessible to all,
was specially accessible to the Ameri-
can visitors. The were always well
coined with simple but most delightful
hospitality, which was abundantly re-
paid to him in the memorable visit
which he paid to America shortly be-
fore his death.
This visit may be ranked among the
happiest incidents Of his saddencd
later years. He was refreshed by new
scenes, and the enjoyment of those
scenes was unalloyed by the associa-
tons OF a past over which death
brooded with the shadow of his dark
ening wings.
Amid the strife of tongues to which
he was subjected in Ems gland in conse-
quence OF ecclesiastical parties, he was
delighted with the warmth of well
come given to him with unanimous
accord in America by all classes and
all schools OF thought. But the enthu-
siasm of that welcome was chiefly due
to the brilliant and noble manner in
which he had discharged his duties as
Dean OF Westminster, and had thus
formed the acquaintance of many
leading Americans. For to know Dean
Stanley was to love him. Acquaintance
with him soon ripened into friendship.

The Contributors Ten Commandments.

Inc IOllOWlng version OF inc COn.
tributor's Ten Commandments is
taken from Swedish paper. It would
be interesting to collate it with any
similar decalogue existing in other
countries:
81. If you wish to send commu-
nication to paper, do it at once.
What is news at this moment is no
longer so tomorrow.
"2. Be concise in your statement,
for thereby you save your own time
and that of the reader. Explanations,
not words, facts, but no reflections on
them.
SO. Be simple, write distinctly, do
not talk about to-day or yesterday,
but give the name of the day or the
date.
~. Begin frequently new line,
which gladdens the compositor. Write
short sentences for the benefit of the
reader. Use many stops and commas,
and do not forget to put them in.
IS. Do not forget single letters or
numbers, but cross the whole word out
when correction is wanted.
''6. First and foremost, write only
Oh ono slue VI Cne paper. "A HuHuTeu
lines on one side can be cut into ten
pieces, and set up by several compost
tors in ten minutes. If written on both
sides only one compositor can arrange
it, which will take some hours.
81. A MS. paper which takes some
hours in getting into type is in danger
of not being printed the first day, and
is passed over till another day.
'8. What is kept till the next day
is no longer new, and may not get in.
Each day has its own trouble, yesterday
is always in the wrong.
80. Put your name and address on
the back of your copy.
80. Above all speak the truth, and
nothing but the truth. If you talk about
yourself use the third person; say what
you have to say without false modesty,
but also without conceit."
Admirable rules these, and if they
are obeyed haw happy must be the life
of an editor in Sweden. But the deca-
logues seem to exist in order to be
broken, and it is to be feared that even
in Sweden the editorial chair is no bed
of rOses.-PaZ Mall Gazette.

On one of the northern trains recently
was an old lady who evidently had never
before made a railroad journey. After
looking about her for some time in curl
osity, her eyes alighted on the bell line,

pened to be passing at the time, what it
was for. .sThat, marin, = said the boy,

and passed on. Shortly after the old
lady got down the family umbrella,
and reaching up to the bell line gave
vigorous pun. Of course the brakes were
applied, the windows thrown up, ques-
tons asked, ETC., the old lady sitting
calmly through the confusion. Present

The Spiritual Effects Of Drunkenness.

An editorial in ''Topics of the Time
of the December Centuay says: ''This
loss of self-respect, the lowering of am
bition, and the fading out of hope are
signs of the progress of this disease in
the character. 1t is mournful specta-
cle-that of the brave, ingenious, high
spirited man sinking steadily down
into the degradation of inebriety; but
how many such spectacles are visible
all over the land! And it is not in the
character of those alone who are noto-
rious drunkards that such tendencies
appear. They are often distinctly seen
in the lives of men who are never
drunk. Sir Henry Thompson's testi-
mony is emphatic to the effect that
'the habitual use of fermented liquors,
to an extent far short of what is neces-
sary to produce intoxication, Injuries
the body and diminishes the mental
power If, as he testifies; large
proportion of the most painful and
dangerous maladies of the body are
due to the use of fermented liquors,
taken in the quantity which is conven-
tionally deemed moderate then it is
certain that such use of them must re-
suit also in serious injuries to the men
tai and moral nature. Who does not
know reputable gentlemen, physicians,
artists, clergymen even, who were
never drunk in their lives, and never
will be, but who reveal, in conversation
and in conduct, certain melancholy eff
fects of the drinking habit? The brain
is so often inflamed with alcohol that
its functions are imperfectly perform
ed; and there is perceptible loss of
mental power and of moral tone. The
drinker is not conscious of this loss;
but those who know him best are pain
fully aware that his perceptions are
less keen, his Judgment less sound,
his temper less serene, his spiritual
vision less clear, because he tarries
every day little too long at the wine.
Even those who refuse to entertain as
celtic theories respecting these bever-
ages may be able to see that there are
uses of them that stop short of drunk
enness, and that are still extremely
hurtful to the mind and heart as we'll
as the body. That conventional idea
of moderation, to which Sir Henry
Thompson refers, is quite elastic; the
term is stretched to cover habits that
are steadily despoiling the life of it's
rarest fruits. The drinking habit is
often defended by reputable gentlemen
to whom the very thought of a debauch
would be shocking, but to whom, if it
were only lawful, in the tender and
just solicitude Of friendship, such words
as these might be spoken: 1t is true
| that YOU are not drunkards. and NAV
never be; but if you could know, what
is too evident to those who love you
best, how your character is slowly los
| ing the firmness of its texture and the
fneness Of its outline; how your art de-
teriorates in the delicacy of it's touch;
how the atmosphere of your life seems
to grow murky and the sky lowers
gloomily above you,-you would not
think your daily indulgence harmless
in its measure. It is in just such lives
as yours that drink exhibits some of it's
most mournful tragedies

beautiful yellow hair, just like spun

cried to have her hair cut, to be like
