From The Kingston Freeman.
George Hauck, the brewer, spent a week
] asst summer at a hotel IN Hunter. Greene
county. One day, on his way to his hotel
after long ramble through bush and briar,
he stopped at q neat looking farm house for
the purpose of getting fresh glass Of milk.
The kitchen door stood wide open. Mr..
Hauck, after knocking, walked in. He saw
no sign of life in the room EXCEPT a sleeping
BABY in cradle, which was being rocked to
and fro by some unseen power. A closer eX-
animation revealed the fact that stout cord
was fastened to one of the rockers and run
through hole in one side of the room. Mr.
Hauck resolved to follow up the cord and see
wnst he other end of IL was fastened to. The
search led him to a small barn connected with
tnc hOuSe. In 1t stood three COWS. to the tails
OF which was tied the cord. 1t being fly time,
the animals kept up constant switching
with their tails, thus accounting for the
rocking Of the cradle IN the kitchen. 1t was
novel means of putting the baby to sleep,
but 1t worked well. The rest of the family
were at work in field about a quarter Of a
mile from the house, and MIR. Hauck had
considerable difficulty in attracting their at
tention. He finally succeeded, and obtained
a glass of milk

A few days ago the MORNING NEWS,
in answer to arguments against prohibi-
ton which appeared In Northern Jour-
nal, stated that one Of the strongest rea-
sons why prohibition was gaining such
foOthold In the South WAS the demoraliz-
ing effect Of whisky upon the negroes. The
statement was made also that whisky
was causing the negroes to deteriorate
morally, intellectually and physically,
and was rapidly making them worthless
as laborers.
The article in which these statements
appeared was reproduced in various parts
OF the country, and has brought to the
MORNING NEWS several communications
one Of which is from Samuel Vinton
Casey, colored man Of Springfield, Ill.
Samuel Vinton Casey does not believe
that whisky hurts the negro as a laborer,
now more than it did when he was a slave.
He has written a communication 10 the
Illinois State Journal on the subject, aud
II he were as able TO think logically and
clearly as ne is ready 10 rush into print
about matters Of which he knows nothing
he would not have bothered the State
Journal with his views. The following is
an extract from his communication:

The Value Of an Eyelash.
From the Washington Ratchet

from me Washington Hdtcbet.
Washington financier. who Is we'll &C
qualnted with Col, Lew Washington. the tell
or of Lewis johnson & Co.'S. bank, SAID that it
was at the close of business hours, and Col.
Washington was pouring and perspiring over
a long column OF figures on the balance sheet.
The sum total of the column should have read
SH.O9O. Instead Of that amount, however, IL
showed a total of 81, 800. or 5000 more than he
could account for. The vexatiOus mistake
caused the colonel to scratch his head vigor-
Ously and wonder where the excess was in the
column Of agonizing figures. While going
carefully over the column for the twentieth
time he discovered the error. and it was one
that would hardly occur once in thousand
years. One OF the cOloneps eyelsshes had fall
len on the balance sheet and adhered to the
hrst In the line of figures 8 1000, making a
perfect figure of the nought and increasing
the whole amount to 1880 instead of 5000.
In going down the column the twentieth time
he brushed the evelash away with his fOretin-
ger Hereafter, Col. Washington says, he will

per before he begins to add the columns.

English Politics and Home Rul

English Politics and Home Rule.
The political situation in England is
full of interest. The meeting of the new
Parliament is looked forward to with CON
siderable anxiety by all classes. The re-
suit OF the elections is not what either the
Liberal or the Conservative leaders ex-
pected, but is just about what Mr.. Parnell
aimed to secure.
The present ministry cannot carry on
the government without the assistance of
the Parnellites, or of faction of the Lib
erals. This is fully understood. Neither
are the Liberals in position to assume
control of the government. Both the Lib
erals and the Conservatives are bidding
for the support of the Parnellites. Itmay
be assumed as certain that the Parnelltes
will ally themselves with neither party
unless they get what they want, or some
where near it. What do they want? In
aword they want home rule as fully and
completely as Canada has it. This is
what they have been struggling for, and
1t begins to look as il they were almost in
sight Of 1t.
1t seems from the cable dispatches that
Mr.. Gladstone is ready to grant it. He
would like 30 get back into power lust
long enough 10 crown mis- remarkable
career by giving ireland "a parliament,
with authority that would make her prac-
tically tree Of England. But would his

such vigorous protests from the rank and
fle Of his following as 10 make him hest
tate and partly turn back. It is impossi.
bic TO say, however, what changes will
take place in public sentiment before
Parliament meets.
The present government is willing 20
grant 10 Ireland a legislature which shall
have control Of purely Irish ahalrs-that
is, affairs that are wholly local, such as
county boards, local rates, docks and
matters OF that kind, but would never
consent to give an Irish Parliament au-
thority that would practically make Ire
land a separate kingdom. That is what
the Panollites want, however, and that
u what they are demanding.
When the test comes, Lord Salisbury,
the head of the present government, be-
lieycs that 20 sustain his government
against the demands OF the Parnellites. he

rorpedo Scandal In Northeastern Asia

Torpedo Scandal in NOrthe aatern Asia
From Engineering.
A correspondent of the NODoe Vtemya at
Vladivostock has provoked sensation in
Russian naval circles by disclosing the fol
lowing incident: A few weeks ago the Ger
man steamer China set out for Port Possett
unaware that the harbor wac closed by a
double row of torpedoes. which had been
placed there during the war scare in the
spring. On its arrival. the boat stationed to
warn of vessels WAS not in its place, and the
German captain did not observe the red flag
holsted on shore. where also the naval picket
was absent. Two or three people, observing
the danger into which the vessel WAS running
shouted out, mini! mini - Confines !-mines'')
but the captain did not realize what thew
meant until close TO the first torpedo barrier
10 was then too late to reverse the engines,
and, amid a panic among the passengers on
board, he decided to trust to luck and steam
full speed ahead.
A terrible pause followed. succeeded by
feeling of astOnishment when the steamer was
seen TO have traversed both rows OF submarine
mines. ana to be calmly making her WAY into
the harbor. The tOrpedoes, were supposed TO
be Of the best quality. received from Ru STA

was impossible for even the smallest fishing
smack to enter the harbor without being
