An immigrant at Castle Garden asked a few days ago for information with regard to the size of Dakota territory, and was handed the following: Pull Dakota up by the roots and throw Fit over the fence into the British possessions and you have hungry looking hole big enough to bury Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, Rhode Island and what the tornadoes have left of Iowa. Cut the vacancy left in the ground up into knotholes and put wood around them and you have enough lumber to build houses for all of the United States and part of New Jersey.
 MT. Ramsey of the Utah commission thinks that the Edmunds act, while it needs sup plementing, is very effective as far as it goes. The three members of the Mormon first presidency and some fifty polyga- nous "apostles and ''bishops" are fugitives or in concealment, thirty or forty are under indictment, twenty-five or thirty have been convicted and are now serving sentences in prison. He doesn't know whether the Gen dowment house. (where the polygamous mar riages are celebrated) is still running or not; "the secrecy preserved" !" he says, ''is some thing remarkable" His belief is that the Mormons, if the law is strengthened and steadily enforced, will soon become discour aged and weary and yield to the inevitable. He does not think there is any danger of a serious uprising.

Elder Hurst, of the Baptist church, pre- diets the end of the world in 1882. He says that the next year will witness symptoms of the coming event, after which startling things will develop rapidly, such as the moon turn ing to blood, the sun refusing to shine, etc. It is said that he has many followers, which is not surprising in view of the superstitious side of mankind.

English politicians are having trouble with the temperance people of Great Britain. The National Temperance Federation, which comprises fifteen of the principal temperance organizations of the United Kingdom, held its autumnal meeting in Manchester few days ago and adopted long manifesto with reference to the approaching election. The position of the two party leaders was pro- nonnced entirely unsatisfactory, MT. Glad stone's manifesto being criticised for it's 'scant and vague reference to the drink question" while Lord Salisbury's proposal to simply refer Sunday closing to bodies elected on other issues, and to transfer li censiug powers to them unchecked by the popular vote, is condemned as quite made quate. The practical feature of the address is a recommendation to electors that they demand from party leaders assurances of sup port for direct popular vote on the issue of license

With reference to the umbrella of pas senger which recently affected the compass of steamer when crossing between Belfast and Stranraer, the captain of the vessel has just received a letter from Mir. Bottomley, as- sistant at Glasgow university to Sir William Thompson, stating that Sir William has ex- amined the umbrella and found it powerfully magnetized. Sir William Thompson thinks it probable that the steel ribs of the umbrella have been nagnetized through being brought near to a powerful dynamo when at work. The umbrella was so powerfully magnetized that it would produce a very considerable eff feet on the compass if brought near it. Sir William desires to add that, in these days, when electric lighting is becoming so com mon, and when anyone without knowing it may get the steel ribs of his umbrella mag netized by going near to dynamo machines, he thinks it of great importance that steps should be taken to prevent passengers on vessels with umbrellas going near the com- pass in use. MT. Bottomley also states that he has known the rim of his hat slightly to 1 disturb the compass of vessel.

Grace Lilburne's Secret.
A STORY OF
TWO CHRISTMAS DAYS.

Mrs. Fairfield rose to her feet, re-
marking emphatically:
"Wel7. IL Won won't 90 TO Mr.. Lii
burne and tell him what has happened,
/ will"
VERY well" he returned resignedly;
"do as YOU think best. | am willing TO
suffer any penalty for what have done
that the severest judge can inilict upon
me, only remember, mother, that Rates
life is at stake
"Kate's lifeln
The two words took all the tempo

her weak and vacillating as her son.

asked.
"If you have the nerve to go to Sill
verton Castle as though nothing had
happened and ask TO see Kate, and lis
ten TO all they can tell you, and then
act upon your own judgment as to
what is best for her." he replied, then
| should say do it."

dering reply; land If 1t Is not true"
She paused. and he repeated her words
questioningly.
"If it is not truel Do you doubt mep"
She made no direct reply, but said
evasively:
"You had better go to Mr.. Lilburne;
ii is your duty, not mine, to do SC"
mo" he answered; ~ will wait and
see If Kate gets better. When her rea-
son returns there will be no more cause
for anxiety. No; l won't go, l will
wait"
His mother said no more, but left
him, for at heart she was as unable to
come to any decision as he was.
AS day after day, and week after
week went by. however, the doctors
fear became sad reality.
Kate's body recovered from the shock
IL had received, and she grew strong,
and able to eat and drink and walk
about like a person in ordinary health.
Mentally, however, she was little bet
ter than an idiot; she had no memory,
and no intellectual consciousness; her
reasoning faculties were dead or dor
mant, and the doctor who attended her
shook his head when Fairfield suggest
ed an operation TO remove the pressure
on the brain.

In a leading editorial headed "Bankers
and Business Men on the Silver Danger u
the New York Herald quotes one Mr..
Woerishoifcras saying: "Ccrtainly VIC ought
to he on gold basis like all the rest OF
Europe. Silver Is good enough for
countries like China and India, where
wages are FIVE and ten cents day. Here
In America the workingman gets q dollar
TO dollar and half at the lowest calcula-
tlon. There is good deal of difference
between America and China. The silver
law ought to he repealed and gold made
The exclusive basis"
There are q number of excellent reasons
why the golden dream of WoerishofTer,
whose geography appears to be a little
mixed, viii not become q reality.
In the first place, there Is not sufficient
amount OF gold in tie world to supply the
actual money needed, and this fact is as
wei known in the United StSt,,s as { is in
"all the rest of Europe.
In the second place, the American people
are uhaltarably in favor of b!metalIism, ani
no Congress can be elected that will dare to
disregard this phase of public opinion.
IT is important that some agreement
should be reached rs to the amount of
silver that should go into dollar, but the
enemies of the double standard will not be
permitted to have their own way entirely in
fixing that amount.
As to the notion that we should dcmone-
tie silver because "worlingmcn get a dol
lar to dollar and half a day." IL is the
sort of logic that will effectually condemn
monometalism.
In fact, the cause of the monometallists Is
condemned already in the house OF its
friends. There is powerful and increasing
bimetalic sentiment In England ana TER
many. The day is not far distant when all
the nations of Europe will unite with us in
establishing the relations of the two money
metals, so that they may not part company,
but go together to the end of time as they
did in the dawn Of history.

The election in Maryland this year Is I'M
usually important inasmuch rs the legisla.
turc to bc chosen will elect the successor to
Senator Gorman, as well rs Gov Lloyd's
successor. Who win be the competitors
for the places held by these gentlemen re-
spcciiycly IS not yet apparent, but Mary
land politicians may he depended upon,
with good degree Of confidence, to supply
Gspirants enough to make picturesque
fight IN both cases.
The canvass is yet in chaotic incipiency,
tie Republicans having scarcely begun to
90 any serious work, and the activity of the
Democrats having been mainly confined to
primaries in various counties. In these
initial proceedings, however, the Demo-
cratic brethren have exhibited their wohted
energy somewhat re-cnforccd by the proud
consciousness that their party escaped de-
feat in the presidential election Of 1854 by
the aid of five or six hundred Mugwump
votes in New York and Is now in possession
Of the federal government
In addition to the senator and governor
dependent on the November vote, a state
comptroller and clerk Of the court Of an
peals are to be elected on a general ticket.
and a large number Of Offices are to
be filed in counties. For these local posi-.
tions, some of which are extremely dsslr-
able, there Is active competition
In the city Of Baltimore there will be deep
interest IN the election OF successor to
Mayor Latrobc, and the Democratic fac
tions are prepared for red-hot fight, as
usual.
The state of Maryland is by no means so
reliably Democratic as to Danish doubt.
With first-ratc candidates and hard work It
might be carried by the Republicans this
wear.

By process Of elimination from the list
OF Judicial appointments made by President
Cleveland the number of those to whom the
terms of his letter Of rcbuke to the signer
OF an unworthy applicants petition might
apply has been narrowed down to four The
suspicion is very strong that +. j. Downe,
appointed 10 be district Judge in Alaska, Is
the man, and circumstances tending to con
firm that suspicion are cited. We observe
mat some OF our contemporaries are criti-
cising the President for not promptly re-
moving the worthless appointee. They
should take note of the statement made by
the President in his letter of Aug. that
the confession of the repentant signer of
lhe petition came "too late to be of imme-
diate use.n The Judge appointed. whoever
he may be, can be removed only on charges
OF mlsbehavior. But the bench can be re-
lieved of him by the Senate's refusal to
confirm the appointment, aud it is ex-
tremely probable that that course will be
taken,
