His Lett Eve Falling.

FrO7la tFe DetrO3t Eree Press.
An eminent citizen called upon an eminent
physician the other day to consult him about
his eyes,
They seemed all right up to three or four
days ago." said the eminent citizen, but then
noticed that the left one was falling"
$40 you wear glasses?" asked the physician.
ooh. yes "
LET me see them?'
They were passed over, and after brief in

laugh.
THE trouble is with the left eye, eh?" he

''Yes, sir"

The BUSY Bee.

Prom the Chicago Ne1os.
A boy went singing down the dale,
Bearing with him shining pail,
To milk the COW with the brinde tail,
Which on clover her palate did regale.
A bee was buzzing DER the vale
Near where the boy with the shining pail
Was milking the COW with the brindle tail
And quietly up to them did sail.
This bee was surely a quarrelsome cuss
For coming here to raiZe a muss;
But having a leisure moment to spend
He deity whetted his business end.
Then gently settled on the cows left ear,
Her heels flew up through the atmosphere;
And through the leaves of maple tree
The boy scared into eternity.

Looking after Lost business

The annual election OF officers of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange takes
place Dec. 7, and II is understood that
the new administration OF the Exchange
will at once begin an investigation into
the causes Of the loss OF so much OF the
city's cotton business. At the present rate
of loss it will not be many years before
the New Orleans cotton presses will have
to be closed and factors will have TO retire
from business. AS much cotton comes to
the city as ever. Indeed the number OF
bales IS annually Increasing, but it is
compressed and sold at the interior cities,
and is shipped directly through New
Orleans to Liverpool and other foreign
ports.
The proposed investigation is for the
purpose OF finding out whether something
cannot he done TO bring the business
back to the city, or at least retain what il
still has. or course there are charges
and counter charges as TO the cause OF
the loss OF business. The truth probably
is that everybody who has anything to do
with handling cotton takes too much toll,
and the planter has got tired of giving all
the profits Of his crop to those who handle
it. lie has found out that he can get it
handled cheaper than 1t is handled in
New Orleans, and he has simply "cut
Loose" from that city. He found that
paying his factor a good commission for
sellin his cotton big interest for money
to raise cotton and large commission for
purchasing supplies for him, besides
other charges kept him poor. II be goes
back 20 tho New Orleans factors be will
have 10 have strong Inducements

A Good Field for Invcstication.


Evidence is cropping out which shows
that the Alabama Claims Court was
place where Republican leaders had their
sons and poor relations taken care OF at
tie public expense. 1t seems that in a
very little over year more than $3.50, 600
was distributed among favorites without
any lawful authority. If the First Comp
troler OF the Treasury had not put his
foot down, as it were, and refused to pass
the vouchers tor unauthorized salaries.
the abuse would have continued
as long as the court continued, and the
court would have continued "a long as
Congress could have been made to believe
that there was necessity for it's sontInu-
ance. According TO our dispatches, as
many cases have been disposed Of within
the last forty-fve days as were decided
during the entire year previous to the
last vacation, and that, too, without the
assistance Of the clerks, attorneys and
experts whose salaries the First Comp
troller refused to pay. The First Comp
troller has succeeded In waking up the
court, and he deserves the thanks of the
country. Let the Attorney General push
the suits for the recovery of the money
illegally paid out by the court, and there
may be some developments which may in
terest the country.

Anarchists, Bad Work.


LONDON, January lL-'rhc Central
News gives the following version OF the
killing, last night, OF Police Commits
sloner Rumpff: A profound sensation
has been created In Berlin this morning
by the announcement that Herr Rumpf,
Police Commissioner, had been mur-
dered last night in front OF his own
house In a prominent thoroughfarc.
Rumpfi was actively connected with the
recent prosecutions, Mt Leipzig, OF An
archists Reinsdorf, Rupsch, Kuroh'er,
ITolzhauer, Bachmann, Soehngen, Rhein-
bach and Toelliner. engaged in the
Niederwald attempt to kill the Emperor.
Crown Prince and other distinguished
personages Of the imperial suite. Reins-
dorf, Rupsch and Rurchler were SEN
fenced to death, and Holzhauer and
Bachmann to 10 years penal servitude.
The others were acquitted. The police
are reticent In regard to the murder Of
Rumpf, but state there Is no doubt that
friends OF the condemned Anarchists
committed the deed. All kinds of stories
are a1oat in regard to the murder. one
Of which Is to the effect that while re-
turning home at about 10 o'clock, and
when In front OF his house Herr Rumpii
was struck violent blow on the back OF
the head, which felled him to the pave
ment, rendering him unconscious and
not giving him opportunity to cry for
help. Another Is that death was pro-
duced by stab wound, causing almost
instant death. All agree the murder
was the work of Anarchists In revenge
for the part the Commissioner had taken
In securing the conviction Of Reinsdorf
and companions. The Emperor, when
Informed Of the death Of Rumpn, was
visibly agitated."
