Senator Evarts, of New York. re,
afims the opinion expressed by him
on the Impeachment trial of ANDY
johnson, that the law of Congress
designating the President protein.
OF the Senate and the Speaker of the
House to act as President in case of the
death or inability of both the Presi.
dent and vice-President, is unconsti.
tutional. His point is that the Consti-
tuition authorizes Congress to declare
"what officer shall act as President"
and that members of Congress are not
"omcers, 1.-THE same instrument for
bidding members OF Congress from
holding "any Office under the United
States" There Is some force in this
suggestion, although the statute has
stood so long as to be practically i'm.
lmpregnable on this ground. Mr..
Evarts believes in designating the
Cabinet officers for the succession az |
probably the best arrangement that |
can be tlevised.-N O. &ates.

Women Who Work.

The report of the commissioner of
labor statistics for Wisconsin shows
that there are 1876 women in Mllwau
there are 20 BARRIERS and hair-dressers,
2 journalists, physicians, s commercial
travellers, hucksters and peddlers, II
saloonkeepers and bartenders, s bakers,
SO boot and shoemakers, 2 brewers and
malsters, cabinetmakers and uphol-
sterers, l carriagemaker, IS cigar
makers, harnessmaker, l leathercur-
rier, q printers, timer, 8 agricult-
ural laborers, 2 farmers and planters.
The fact appears in the report that "in
many of the larger establishments
where girls are employed as clerks,
time lists are kept, and if girls are late
in the morning, even a minute, it is de-
Quoted from their weeks wages. The
rules vary somewhat in this respect; in
some places one minute late, actual
time, is deducted ; in others fifteen min
utes, and in some cases one hour Is de-
Quoted; in other cases, if fifteen min
utes later they forfeit half day" The
report adds that there are instances In
Milwaukee where servants have been
compelled to sleep during the winter
over an open shed, without sufficient
bedding, in room whose floor consist
ed of loose boards, through openings of
which wind and snow freely passed.
There are $4,000 women earning their
own bread in Wisconsin. About 5000
are tailors, milhners and dressmakers
$500 are teachers; 1,750 are hotel and
restaurant employees $50 are laundresses,
1000 are clerks, and about $500
engaged in factories and various occu-
pations, leaving $500 engaged in
purely domestic services.

A Warming Against Sealskins.

Al eminent physician of Philadel-
phlS peclallst in throal and chest dis
eases, said to a reporter of the Record of
thatcity that furs upon garments to be
worn about the shoulders and neck are
all d them to be avoided. The thought
lessmanner in which the garments are
thrown back from the shoulders and
throat after the body has been unduly
heated by them is the chief objection
to the furs. They also prevent proper
circulation, and as the body in ordinary
weather can be kept sufficiently warm
with other and lighter garments the
furt should be abandoned. A small fur
boa, which is thrown about the throat
While the wearer is in the open air, and
at once thrown aside upon entering the
hou,e, is considered a good thing.
Tie sealskin coats, however, are spe-
iallg worthy of notice" said the doctor,
Abectuse they have become go common.
1t is entirely too heavy a wrap for this
sectDn. Ii used discreetly and only in
very cold weather it is unobiectionable /;
but the trouble is that some of the fair
owners of the pretty coats wear them in
pretty much all sorts of weather, because
theyare both fashionable and becoming,
and because many ladies can only afford
the me garment, and must wear it at all
times. Thus it is wrap of everyday
use n climate which does not require
so heavy a garment. The result is fre-
quelt perspiration Suddenly checked.
This means cold, consumption, death"

Escape OF Marshal Razaine

From Illustrated History of FnglAnd. -
The escape of the fat man of Metz
from his prison on the isle of st. Mar
guerite was arranged entirely by the
marshal, his wife, and nephew, Alvarez
de Ruell. Nine. Bszaine had hired a
steamer for pretended pleasure trip at
Genoa, and, leaving her at anchor in
Jouan Bay. she had started for the ISL
and of st. Marguerite, with her devoted
nephew, in an open boat, across the
stormy sea. Meanwhile the marshal.
who had been forewarned of his wife's
design, had managed to elude his jailers
and to secure rope, one end of which
he secured to two iron bars placed
crosswise in an old gutter which carried

The Spirit-Hand Trick.

From London TRUTH
The spirit-hand trick is performed in
this way: The medium puts a hand
made of stuffed glove up his leg and
attiched by an elastic string to his
vast. When the dark seance com
mmces he gets the hand down to the
end of his foot, extends his foot to the
opposite side of the table at which he is
sitting, and waves the stuffed glove
about. If a little phosphorus be rubbed
on it the effect is better. When the
performance has been gone through all
that the medium has to do is to let the
hand spring back underneath mis- trouser.
The hoang trick is performed by TAX
ing off the boots and putting the hands
in them. The hands are then waved
above a persons head, who grasps the
boots and feels the arms of the coat,
which he takes for legs. Of course so
long as people are prepared to pay
money for witnessing these tomfooleries
knaves will be found to practice them.

John Erich, German living at
Toledo, recently joined Methodist
Church and became very much excited
upon the subject of religion, constant
brooding producing temporary aberra-
ton of the mind. Shortly before day
light on the morning of the 30th he rose
from his bed with rush and jumped
through rear window into a shed, car
rying portion of the sash with him.
He was badly cut on the head and legs
From the shed he climbed to several ad-
joining houses, entering several and ter
rifying the inmates by taking off what
clothing remained on him. Friends
called a patrol wagon, and after a
lengthy search he was found, entirely
naked, lying in snowdrift on Western
Avenue. When taken to the station it
was found that besides the cuts and
bruises, his feet were badly frozen. He
says he was trying to escape from man
who was chasing him with knife, and
that he took his clothes off so that his
flight would not be impeded.

DYNAMITE IN NEW YORK.
A Dry Goods Store Partially Wrecked

A New York dispatch of the ist says
"The first criminal use of dynamite in
this city greatly excited people here to-
day. The explosion took place at very
late hour last night. One or two morn
ing papers made second editions, giving
the news. The explosion was at Garry
Brothers drygoods store, on Grand and
Allen Streets, and that section of the
city is to-day crowded with people. At
the time of the explosion a number of
persons were passing the spot, but none
of them were injured. To-day Capt.
Allaire and squad of officers guarded
the premises of Garry Brothers and
of Ridley Brothers, the windows
in whose establishment were also shat
tered by the explosion. Shortly after
the EXPLOSION four men were found In
the 81 dow of the RIvin gston Street sta

them, Charles Henry, laborer, who
said he lived at Williamsburg, was
severely cut on the head and face. The
others, William Britton, waiter, James

Wilkes BOOth's Horse

The Putnam Conn., Standard pub
fishes the following story about the
horse that bore J. Wilkes Booth from
Washington after the murder of Presi-
dent Llnsoln The story of the mur-
dered president-the history of the
murderer, John Wilkes Booths famil-
lar to Ill; but the horse, what of him :?
The animal was confscated, sold by
auction, and fell to the Soldiers Ex-
press Company OF New York. This
comptny, it would seem, was either
swinded by it's managers or fell into
finan,ial difficulties. At any rate, it was
shortlived, its property sold, and the
Boom horse was purchased by John
Grant, who was at that time a Brook
lyn epressman. In 1869 Col. John A.
Peal. then resident of Brooklyn, N. Y,
offer,d 800 for the horse, but the offer
was lot accepted. That same year the
colonel moved to Arlington, Conn and
the horse was soon afterward shipped
to him for the price originally offered.
The animal was then in a dilapidated
condition, but, under the kind treat
ment of his new master, soon recovered
some of his former qualities of sleek
ness, feetness, strength, and endurance.
The lorse was large and powerful ami
NAL, with long, heavy name and tail,
bright, intelligent eyes, of dark bay
coloJ white star in the forehead, and
one White hind foot and ankle. The
animal became great favorite with the
fanny, and during the latter years of
his LIE was allowed to have pretty much
his own way. About three years ago
the h'rse, on account of his age and
docile habits, was allowed to wander
about the door-yard and along the road
side It his leisure and pleasure. In one
of these ramblings the poor animal fell
into ditch and was killed. Thus it
wouH seem all, even to the dumb
beas;s, having part in this terrible
tragedy met with violent death.

Halfway down he rested, by means of a

NATURAL GAS.
Eighteen Persons Injured and Sew
eral Houses Blown to Pieces by
an Explosion.
Leaky Pipes and Girl With
lamp Cause the Disaster.

Three explosions OF natural gas took
place in the suburbs of Pittsburg on
the 31st. Eighteen persons were badly
injured. The explosion took place in the
cellar OF August Mueller's house, at the
corner Of Thirty fourth and Butler
Streets. The gas had collected In the
cellar from leak in the Pennsylvania
Fuel Company's mains. 1t was ignited
from lamp carried into the cellar by a
member of Mr.. Mueller's household.
August Mueller was thrown twenty feet
into the air and fell in the street thirty
feet away. He is thought to be fatally
injured. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed. The residence of Maria Ebert,
next door to Mueller's house, was blown
to pieces. The residence of jenkins
Simmons, adjoining. was also wrecked.
The drugstore of G.. G. Tees, on the
opposite side OF the street, is almost a
wreck. The chimneys were torn of,
the windows broken, and all the bottles
knocked from the shelves. A
butcher-shop and saloon on the
opposite corner from Mueller's
place shared the same fate. The shock
was so great that windows were broken
buildings was scattered over an area of
200 yards. Showers of bricks fell in
every direction, crashing through the
roofs of houses until the people thought
they were in the midst OF an earthquake.
just previous to the explosion at Muel-
ler's, there was another just across the
street. This report startled the people,
as it was very loud, and they came from
all directions to find the cause and had
Just got to the corner where the explo-
sion was when there was another, still
louder, from the saloon Of Mr.. Mueller.
This last was the explosion that did the
most damage. The entire first floor of
the saloon was blown up, and the flames
burst forth in a volume. In the first
explosion there were two or three
people who were badly burned, but the
second was where the most damage was
done. The force of the latter was ter
rife. Some people who were passing
along the sidewalk were blown clear
across the street. a dispatch of the 1st
inst. says two of the injured are dead.
