"What is new in the music box line9"
"Several things. One with inter
changeable cylinders, for instance.
Boxes with only one cylinder play from
one to twelve tunes, but we have just in
troduced a class of boxes with in
terchangeable cylinders Of six tunes each.
By means Of these the number of tunes
to box may be increased iodefn lcy.
We keep these cylinders in stock and
special tunes are often ordered for them.
Another new thing is the sMarotte, a
musical doll made in Paris. 1t is dolls
head and shoulders attached to a stick in
the shape of handle, and the child, by
taking hold of the stick and whirling it
around in small circle, makes the head
move while the music box inside plays a
tune. The whole continuance is about
foot long, and the dolls have very pretty
faces and are tastefully dressed in red,
white and blue
"What tunes do people prefer in the
boxes just now?"
"Light operatic music and popular
American airs But there is no end to
the variety Of tunes in them. Our boxes
are provided with all the favorite dan
ces, marches, national airs and ballads
as well as with the best selections from
the most popular operas, ballets, etc."
"What are some Of the prices2"
"You can buy music box for ninety
cents, and have sold one in this city
for as high as $1,000. But this was a
number Of years ago. Some are as large
as an upright piano and cost 50, 900.
These have an unlimited number of
tunes, owing to the interchangeable cyl
lnders. The ninety-cent boxes have
twenty eight teeth, play one tune, are
made round or square, of japanned tin,
wood or papier mache."

Queer Partnerships.

One of the most interesting examples
of intelligence among the sea-crabs, is
that of hermit crab, which seems to
have perfect understanding with sea-
anemone, that fastens itself upon its
shell, and shares the food the crab may
capture. This might be considered an
accidental occurrence, were it not that
the crab proves its friendship by assist
ing the anemone to move to It's new shell.
when, by reason Of its growth, the crab
has to change its quarters; and if the
anemoae is not satisfied with one shell,
the crab tries others until its friend is
suited.
A similar friendship exists between
another hermit-crab, found in the Med
iterranean sea, that is also accompanied
by an anemone. In this case the friend
ship is not altogether disinterested, as
the anemone is used as a decoy by the
willy crab, which gives it board, lodging
and travelling accommodations, in return
for its services.
The crabs called Dromi@ encourage
the growth Of various animals and plants
upon their backs, and the spider-crab of
our own shores, known as the decorator,
is invariably found bearing upon its back
thick growth Of sea-wced, placed there
by itself The Grass-crabs are SO trans
parent that print can be read through
them, and being thus difficult to detect,
they readily escape the watchfnl eye of
hungry tishes.-,St. Nicholas.

Hamilton was then thirty-one, and just
eighteen years afterward he too was the

TIE veteran Washington correspond
ent of the Boston Herald says that the
two months of Cleveland's administra-
ton have been the best he has ever seen
in Washington. THE American peo-
ple," he says, "ought to devote day to
special thanksgiving to God for the
highest and patriotic administration
which Grover Cleveland has organized,
and for their deliverance from the grand
festival of thieving and debauchery
which Blaine and his cabal would have
set agoing here if the election last year
had gone the other way" He doubts
if it be possible for any man to perform
the duties ofPresident with more "cour-
age, wisdom and discretion" than the
President displayed. The mistakes in
the appointments can "be counted on
the fingers" "When the appointed
and disappointed have all had their
day." the "splended impression he made
upon the public mind at the opening OF
the administration will not have
changed"

THE editor Of this paper, in a quiet
way, yet with recommendation second
to none, has been an applicant for the
Napoleon post-office. This fact has
brought down upon his head the ire OF
certain parties of unsavory record, who
are now busy going around making
threats of what they will do in the
event of our success. Gentlemen, we
have heard of you before; so have the
Democrats of Henry county, who look
upon you with suspicion and distrust,
now as heretofore. You would sacrifice
the party, at any moment, to gain your
own selfish ends, which fact has become
so brazen-faced that the most obtuse see
through it plainly. Whether we are
successful or not, we will continue to
guard the interests of the Democratic
party of Henry county, even against
these professed friends, and whoever is
selected Postmaster of Napoleon will
have our good wishes. Every Demo-
crat should say as much.

ONE of the most salutary laws passed
by the recent Legislature was one re-
quiring the payment of employees in
cash, and denying employers the priv
ilege of compelling their workmen ia
accept orders on stores that in most
cases are owned by those who employ
the labor. The first attempt at an in
vasion of this law has been made by
a coal mining company, who seek to
nullify the provisions of the statute by
a cunningly drawn assignment of pay
which the employe is required to sign.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of Attorney General Law
renee, and prosecution in the courts
will follow.

GEN. BLACK, the new Commissioner
of Pensions, is making splendid rec
ord, and his selection for the place was
undoubtedly the very best that could
have been made. He has made several
important changes in the way of facili-

and the result is, much larger number
of pension claims have been disposed of
and pension certificates issued during
the past three months than in the same
period of time since the office opened.

Commenting upon the speech of Vice
President Hendricks at indianapolis
last Saturday evening, In which he de-
clared himself as in favor of giving the
offices to the Democrats who elected
Mr. Cleveland, the Rochester Union
and advertiser says:
"These are words of solid sense.
They come from the head and heart OF
n Democrat of the old schoOl-the
school of Jefferson and jackson. They
are straightforward, honest, patriotic.
Mr.. Hendricks Is a democrat who
knows what Democracy is, and who, be-
lleyes in it. He is Democrat who, no
matter in what position In the Govern
ment he may he called, does not feel
himself obove his fellow Democrat OF
the rank and file, but as one of their
number who has been designated to
serve them. And he has served them
faithfully and well to the best of his
ability. Hence upon his return to his
Indiana home, he is welcomed by them
with open arms and unbounded enthu-
siasm. Mr.. Hendricks speaks not only
for himself but for the entire Admins
tration. Cleveland and Hendricks were
elected to give the country Democratic
Administration. To give the country
a Democratic Administration it is nee
esssary that Democrats should fill all the
offices and places under the Govern
ment, instead of Republicans, save
alone where the Civil Service law pre-
scribe otherwise. Had there been the
slightest doubt, well grounded, that the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks
would give the country the Democratic
thus described they
they would not have been elected. Ev-
cry intelligent person who voted for
them, as well as every intelligent person
who voted against them, cast his ballot
in such expectation. That is what the
nomination and election meant, and
they meant nothing else; for without
this complete installment of Democratic
Administration IN every office and
place under the Government, aside
from the subordinate situations covered
by the Civil Service law, there can be
no such reform in the administration
of the Government as that embodied
in the promise upon which the election
was won. Nice-President Hendricks in
standing up at Washington for the peo-
pie of Indiana who followed his lead,
carried the State and saved the
day, and seeing to it that the
Federal offices in Indiana are filled by
worthy Democrats who square to the
Jefferson standard-whO are honest,
capable and faithful to the Constitution,
is doing public duty and discharging
a public obligation All honor to him
for his courage, his faithfulness and his
