Tho legend OF the Golden Fleece.

Mrs. General Lew Wallace, in pa
per entitled Sailing Up the Bosphor-
u.s." contributed to the Independent,
gives the following as the explanation
the disenchanters offer for the myth OF
the Golden Fleece:
From the side of the frosty Caucasus
there runs q river with gold-bearing
sand, once very Pactolus for wealth
to its owners. 1t lies on the southern
coast of the desolate rainy sea, which
was the terror and despair of primitive
navigators. The country of old was
subject to depredations of covetous
princes and barbarian hordes, and the
famous water-course, glowing with
grains of gold, was guarded well for
its estimable treasure. So rich mine,
not in narrow assures, but sparkling
flood, naturally became the resort OF
spectators by land and sea. Its value
was noised abroad through the length
of the Mediterranean countries, and Its
possession was the subject of many Q
bloody struggle. Anciently, and even IL
historic times, the unskilled miners Of
Colchis, shepherds through many gen
erations. used to lay sheepskin in the
bed OF the shallow stream, which W.
would hardly call river. The WOO
caught and held the shining sand in III
thick mat; IL was then hung upon ,
tree, and, when dried, the particles o
precious dust were shaken out; and 10
you have the whole fable OF the Colder
Fleece.

At Sing Sing, Professor Gorton, q
school Principal, severely whipped q
boy because he could not sing. The
boy then sang, but not the right tune.
The angry father of the boy is now try
ing TO make the professor sing in
court. A musical authority says there
are boys whose nerves cannot stand
hearing their own voice in singing, and
who cannot be made to sing. 1t Is
seldom the case with girls, but with
bows Is of FREQUENT occurrence.

delirious organs declare that in the
South " there was no more of free popu-
lag choice than there is to-day in Rus

LITTLE by little the radical organs of

count, to axe place yesterday, and anti
cipsted such corrections from the rural
Republican counties as would help them
out The effect of the official canvass
has been To confirm Cleveland's plurality
of over twelve hundred, and the manag
