shoppers Forget Things.

eff you will step to the found room,

age"
This was said by the superintendent
OF large dry goods establishment to a
lady who applied for lost goods.
The superintendent afterward said
TO the reporter: "It's very common
occurrence for lady to buy something
and pay for it with bank note, and go
of without either her change or her
goodE Sometimes many cases of the
kind occur in one day. We have been
compelled to establish our found room,
where such goods are kept. AS the
goods are received they are recorded,
under the date of their reception, and
the lady has only to tell the date to
trace anything. Almost all the forgot
ten articles are called for. They range
in value from cents to dollars, and in
size from a spool of. cotton to q lady s
dress. II requires the services of one
person all the time to keep track of the
lost articlee."
"How do you account for SO much
forgetfulness ?"
at is the simplest thing in the world.
The lady is in hurry. She has some
thing to purchase at another counter.
She thinks she will go and purchase it.,
instead of waiting idly for her change.
She goes off. aud forgets to go back,
having her attention preoccupied with
other purchaBes. When she gets home
and counts up her money she recalls
her forgotten package. She comes here
rs soon as she can and gets it. If she
is o new customer she is full of graft
tude IF she is an old customer she
takes is as matter of course. "--Nelo

In the first place, you know, he ap-
pears as q guest, and not in an official
capacity. He wears dress suit even
if he has to rent it for the occasion, q
white tie. and gold stud in his shirt
bosom. The work is extremely diff
cult. Really, all that can be done is to
watch the presents closely and see that
nobody carries them of. Sometimes,
in large room, two men are required.
OF course, we cannot prevent the
crooks from working on the crowd, I'M
less we happen to know them. If we
spot any we know, they generally get
out as quickly as possible without max
ing any trouble. After everything is
over, one man generally stays all night,
because. as rule. there are great
many strange servants in the house,
who have been employed for the occa-
sion, and they need watching.-Phila-

A Short Explanation.

The following ia from the New York Sun;
A correspondent whose mind has doubt
less been a little confused by the conflict
ing ideas on politics that are now enter
tanned by various journals at present
supporting a Democratic President, asks US
the following pertinent question:
when you originated the remark
: Turn the ~rascals out, did you mean to
apply it to all persons holding Govern
ment places? "F. E. s."
It was meant to apply to every rasca
and p%lunderer connected with the Gov
eminent who could not be removed under
Republican administration. But turning
the rascals out was not the only object
for which the Democracy has strug'
gled for the last twenty years
The main purpose was to take the
control Of the Government away
from the Republicans and put it in the
hands of the Democrats. This is q much
more comprehensive idea than merely Il
turn out the dishonest employees of thu
Administration and put honest men il
their places. II is much more fsr-reach
ing in its effects and requires q vastl,
greater change.
Not only should thieves and plumber
ers go. but all posts Of power and re
sponsibility should be filled by member
Of the successful party who are in sym
patty with its purposes and desire its wei
fare.

Modern ~spfrftualism.

The thirty-seventh anniversary Of Mod
ern S%pirituslism was celebrated in San
Francisco last Sunday evening. Mrs. E.
L. Watson delivered an address on "Spir-
itualism and It's Relation to Religious Pro-
gress." Among other things she said:
"Slowly has been the progress of men, yet
how successful has been his progress after
spiritual enlightenment. Religion, for the
most part, is made up Of mans thought in
regard TO his soul. Ali systems Of religion
are based on the belief of God. The ad-
vantage OF %spiritualism is found in the case
of death. II is pleasant to receive intelli-
gent answers to inquiries from loved ones
gone before US. Man, from time to time,
has advanced physically and intellectu-
ally and, as q matter Of consequence, he
must have improved spiritually" The
speaker claimed that mans spiritual pro-
press has been retarded by the priests, and
the time when spiritual immortality was
to dawn postponed. We need not go back
further than the Christian era to see that
s%piritualism added strength to virtue. The
orthodox heaven was supposed to be in
the sky, and hell was supposed to be be-
meath The earth. Astronomy has destroyed
the former idea, and the notion OF helPs
location has also disappeared. The effect
Of modern sp~iritualism on religion has
been immense. Thirty-seven years ago,
when spiritualism dawned and CONVERSE
tion with the spirit world was made posi-
HE, religion cried that sp~iritualism was
tbe work of the devil. Spiritualism has
proyed that the resurrection takes place
ON the same day as death.

REL, THE REBEL.
A Brief and Interesting Sketch of
n Outlaw and the Canadian

A Brief and Interesting sketch OF
the Outlaw and the Canadian
Troubles.
But little, comparatively is known about
the Canadian rebel Riel, who is at the head
OF the insurrection now in Manitoba. From
a Canadian gentleman q San Francisco
Alta reporter learns the following: When
The Hudson Bay Company ceded their pos
sessions to the Canadian representatives,
Riel. with a small band OF half. breeds, took
possession of Fort McGarry. Then Col.
Wolseley was dispatched with q party of
Canadian volunteers to dispense the rebels
and kill or capture their leader. Wolseley
led his men through dense forests and
dangerous swamps, for there were no rail-
roads then in that section, and promptly
put down the insurgents, but Riel escaped.
This was really the first enterprise in which
this now distinguished soldier made his
mark, and he was warmly congratu-
lated for the skill with which he had accom-
plished the ends Of this dangerous expedi-
ton. Stations were then established along
the frontier, guarded by mounted police,
whose duty was not alone to keep the half
breeds in subjugation, but to see hat no
liquors were introduced among them.
Principally on account of the latter rea-
son the; half-breeds grew to detest those
ministers Of prohibition, and, no doubt,
were highly gratifed at being able to
butcher so Of their old enemies last week.
At present there are not less than $4,000
half-breeds in that section Of the North
west, and many Of these are 30 discon-
tented that it would not be surprising if
Riel succeeded in enlisting at least {, 900 to
carry on a guerilla warfare against the au-
thorities. AS they know every inch Of the
country, and are expert rihemen, their
suppression will be no easy matter, and
the struggle may grow TO the extent of q call
for achievements from the home Govern
ment. Riel is a man OF great personal
courage and magnetic presence and him
self q half-breed, he commanded the ut
most confidence OF these people. The
gravity of the situation is increased by the
probability of the American Indians
across the border joining forces with the
rebels. Then the Canadian forces will have
to fight in q country OF whose topography
they have but an atlas knowledge, while
every inch OF the territory is familiar to
Riel and his men. Everything considered,
the crushing out Of his dangerous upris-
ing cannot be accomplished without q
much larger force than the Canadians can
at present find sufficient for such service,
While every days delay strengthens Riel's
position among the malcontents.
