Among the Dry Goods.

A@dty goods salesman. says: "We
have to endure great deal at the hands
Of those ladies who never buy. These
people take up valuable time, and good
part of our energies is directed to the
effort to circumvent, them. The moment
an "old timer" comes up to the counter
she is instantly recognized by some one
of the statesmen. and the warning signal,
a tap on the connteri;is passed along the
line. Then We have some fun. The
"old timer" will call for, say, certain
shade of yellow. She is told it is not in
stock. "Oh, what pity /" she exclaims,
"thatlis Just what T wanted. 1fyouthad
it T. would buy sixteen yards I Of it."
Then it is the next mans turn. He
comes up accordingly, and tells the first
salesman that he is mistaken, that there
is still a bolt Of twenty yards of that
identical stuff in the store. He brings il
forward and lays it down. You would
think ths~shopper who never buys would
be disconnected at this turn of affairs.
Not a bit of it. She says smilingly :
"Oh, that is just what I want. Lay it
aside for me, and I will see my dressmak-
er and fud out just how many yards she
needs, and to. morrow I'll come back and
buy it," Then she departs with sim
per, but she never comes back. We
amuse ourselves in'this;way, but it is q
terriblenuisance'an thesame."

Valuable Definitions.

I. Skepticism is doubt about the truth,
though not actually denying it; ,hesita-
ton about it; reluctance to define what
faith is.
II. Agnosticism is denial of an &C.
ceptance of religion, except that which
comes within knowledge. There may
be God, or there may not. There may
have been such divine person as Jesus
Christ, or there may not. 1t does not
come within my knowledge, so | put it
aside, because know nothing about it:
III. Posiiivism is non-exceptance OF
anything except it can be positively
proved as e. g., proposition in Euclid,
or an object demonstrated by one of the
senses. Thus differing from these, but
hardly more, perhaps than in name.
Nv. Rationalism is disbeliever in the
supernatural; nothing to be accepted
until it be brought within the intellectu.
al power. Mans reason must be con-
vinced. Faith is nothing.
v. Deism is a belief in the. existence
of first cause, called by the name OF
God, as creator of the world but no be-
lief in the acceptance of Messiah as Son
of God or Savior of the tworld, or in the
Holy Ghost, forming, the Holy Trinity.

coming was telegraphed from Quebec to
Montreal, and arrived there just thirty
seconds before it reached the latter city:
The mining regions in Nevada suffered
similarly in 1871, when several settle

In the West Indies these shocks have
been SO numerous that space prevents
anything like even a chronological men

frequently been visited, and Callao has
twice been destroyed, once in 1886 and
again in 1746. In 1868 the port OF

a shock in 1868. Chill is VIGOROUSLY

A Misguided. Cat,

A gentleman who lives on Main street
in Saco has largo white cat of which
he is very fond. He calls her "Jen." !"
Whenever she catches mouse he is if
the habit of giving her big saucer n
milk, and carressing her. His idea was
that this would encourage Jen to renewed
efforts and impress upon her mind that
the determination of rodents was her
chief duty. The plan appeared to work
well. When Jen captures mouse du-
ring the absence of the master OF the
house, she will keep it till he comes
home and then display it to hm ostenta-
tiously. with noisy demonstrations of
feline joy. Recently, as the family were
seated at the lea table, Jen suddenly
rushed in with An enormous rat which
she had just captured and disemboweled.
Her owner did not notice her, and be.
fore it could be prevented, she jumped
upon the table and triumphantly laid the
disgusting object in his plate. The gen
.tlemen was eating piece of custard pie
at the time, and he informed US in voice
choked with emotion that the sight of
.custard7pie will bring up horrible recol.
lections to, him as long as he lives. He
saws thc5eat's intentions were all right,
but her .tudgnenttwas poor.

Gen. Grant has declined to be an
applicant for pension, and the bill in
troduced in his behalf has been with
drawn. We do not see why it should be
humiliating for Gen. Grant or any 9TH
er worthy soldier to receive pension.
1t is simply an acknowledgement on
the part of the government for SER
vices rendered. 1t is understood that
he would not object to being placed on
the retired list, and if that would suit
him better, why not make room for
him? That he is in needy circum-
stances there can be little doubt, and
people throughout the country would
not be satisfied to see the old soldier
go hungry.

are, as in 1888, in what has been des-

produced heavy crops of maize of
high quality. The line of longitude
has ceased to be an absolute barrier
to corn production or general farming.

Provision FOR GEN. GRANT.-The
refusal of Gen. Grant to accept the
pension proposed by President Arthur
is understood to be due to his convic-
ton that he should be placed on the
retired list of the army. The veto by
the President of the bill to place Fitz
John Porter on the retired list would
prevent him from approving the bill
for the retirement of Grant, as the
principle involved in the porter bill
would apply equally in the case of
Grant. The President held that Con-
gress invaded the constitutional pre-
rogative of the executive in undertake
ing to name particular person for
particular Office. This was the rea-
son why he recommended a pension
for Grant. 1t has been suggested
that Congress pass a bill providing
for the appointment of the general on
the retired list of the army, without
specifying any name for the position,
and the President could then exer-
else his constitution right, and name
Grant. There are twenty or more Of
ficers On the retired list now who
were placed there by specific acts of
Congress in their favor, and it is not
believed that this technical objection
of President Arthur would have been
raised had the person to be benefited
been other than Fitz John Porter.
The Washington correspondents say
that there is undoubtedly more friend
ly feeling for the project for putting
Grant on the retired list, if it can be
accomplished, among the Democratic
Senators and Members than among
the Republicans, and an effort is to
be made to bring the matter before
the House at an early day.
