LEVEL WITH GROVER CLEyELANp,

Many of the most admirable pro-
visions of our state constitution have
been whitfield away by construction,
and now some Of its best provisions
which can not thus be disposed of are
rendered nugatory, it is said, because
the general assembly has failed to
enact any legislation which puts them
into force. For instance the consti-
tuition says:
Section XIV, Article XII.-ssNo
railroad or other transportation COM
pany shall grant free passes or tick
cts, or passes or tickets at a discount,
to members Of the General Assembly,

The Mexico LEDGER has charged
T. B. Buckner, prosecuting attorney
for Audrain county, with unlawful
acts connected with his official duties.
White surely knows what he is talk
ing about, and even intimates that he
is willing to go, and should be
sent, to the pen if he cannot prove
every ~charge.-Middletown Chips.

A portion of the city of Abilene was
flooded few days ago and in rather

Gazette says: About half past five or SIX
o'clock in the evening, large stream OF
water ran down through the low portion
of the city, flooding cellars. filling wells,
floating off sidewalks, and making the
roads nearly impossible. Various con-
ectures were made, some saying that
waterspout must have burst northwest
of the city, others claiming that Mud
creek had overlooked its banks. AS
near az We could ascertain from limited
trip through the flooded district, the
seemingly wonderful flow can be attribu-
ted to the natural drainage of water from
the high country, which has been
increasing for some days past, on account
of the heavy rains recently taken place.
The ground has been go thoroughly
soaked that it could hold no more, there
fore it had to take some natural outlet,
the only one being the low lying lands
in this vicinity.

The Boston and Lowell Fifty Years Ago.

On the morning of May ~, 1885, says
the Lowell (Mass.) Courier, Just fifty
years ago. the first engine and passenger
car made trip from Lowell to Boston
and return on the Boston and Lowell
Railroad. The passengers from Lowell
were Patrick T. Jackson, James F. Bald
win and George w. Whistler. TIE party
was augmented in Boston, and the trip to
Lowell was made in one hour and seven
teen minutes. A dinner was served in
the Merrimac hotel in honor of the oc-
casion. The locomotive was an English
one; was named the Stephenson, and was
run by an Englishman named Robinson.
The road was not opened for regular bu-
siness until June %. The first engine
built for the road in the machine shop
was called the Patrick, in honor of Mr..
Jackson.

THE CUSTOM OF THE PUBLIC
Respectfully Solicited
How to Split . Sheet of Paper.
nar:Trado Journal

Pa periTrade Journal.
1t is one of the most remarkable prop
critics of that wonderful product, paper,
that it can be split into two or even three
parts, however thin the sheet. Wehave
seen leaf of the Illustrated News thus
divided in three parts, or three thin
leaves. One consisted of the surface on
which the engravings are rinted;anotL-
er was the side containing the letter.
press, and :. perfectly blank piece on
each side was the PAPER that lay between.
Many people who have not seen this
done might think it impossible; yet it is
not only possible, but extremely easy as
we shall show. Get q piece of plate
glass and place ON it sheet of paper;
then let the latter be thoroughly soaked.
With care aud little dexterity the sheet
can be split by the top surface being re-
moved. But the best plan is to paste 9
piece Ofcloth or strong paper to each
side of the sheet to be split. When dry,
violently and without hesitation pull
the two pieces asunder, when part of the
sheet will be found to have adhered to
one and part to the other. Soften the
paste in water, and the pieces can easily
be removed from the cloth. The pro-
cess ia generally demonstrated as mat
ter of curiosity, yet it can be utilized in
various ways. If We want to paste in
scrap book newspaper article printed
on both sides of the paper, and possess
only one copy. it is very convenient to
know how to detach the one side from
the other. The paper when split, ss may
be imagined, is more transparent than it
was before being subjected to the opera
ton, and the printing ink somewhat
duller; otherwise the two pieces present
the appearance of the original if again
brought together. Some time ago the
information of how to do this splitting
was advertised to be sold for consider
able sum. We now impart it to all our
readers gratuitously.
