Blaine Calls on Cleveland.

A Washington dispatch of Friday
of last week says: Quite sensation
was created tonight when it became
known that Mr.. Blaine had called on
the President this afternoon. 1t has
been taken for granted here that there
would be no exchange of cUurtesies
between the two gentlemen, as the
Democrats have charged Blaine with
encouraging the publication of the
scandals against Cleveland during the
campaign.
Mr.. Blaine walked bolt from his
house at O'Clock and entered the
White House, very:feW people being
around at that hour. He was cordi-
ally received by President Cleveland
and thetwo had a pleasant social chat,
lasting three-quarters of an hour.
Col. Lamont says the humors of
the campaign were laughingly refer
red to by each. Mr.. Cleveland said
the latchstring of the White House
would always be on the outside of the
door for Mr.. Blaine, and the two
shook hands over the political chasm.
The President accompanied his guest
to the door and Mr.. Blaine walked
back home.
Mr.. Blaine made the visit in re-
spouse to hearty note of invitation
from the President.

A well-known New York seed firm
has in deposit company's vaults
four hundred pounds of cauliflower
seed which, at the selling price of
500 per pound, shows the value of
this seed to be $4,000. Not only is
this plan ofdepositing in vaults found
to be cheaper than insurance, but,
what is of more importance. is that
If the seed should be destroyed by fire
this quantity necessary for their trade
could not be replaced at any price in
time for the spring sales. When it is
considered that four hundred pounds
of cauliffower seed will, under favor
able conditions, produce nearly thir-
teen million plants, which when
headed for market, and sold at even
8 cents per head, will produce the
sum of S750,0 The value this veg
table has attained in this country,
where twenty-five years ago it was
almost unknown, becomes readily
apparent.

What is a MahGi?

Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D'Herbel9t
spells it, is an ancient title in the Mos
lem world which at first signified
simply director of the faithful. But
in the course of Moslem history, and
especially Moslem history in Africa.
it came to have another Specification
related to an accepted prophecy of
Mohammed. 1t necessarily refers to
the African part of Arabic history.
By this secondary significance of the
word the Mahadi is a certain ancient
leader come again. His appearance
is the second advent" of a prophet
who lived in.the old days, and who
in all the meantime, has been with
the immortals. Mohammed, the
twelfth Imam, and the twelfth in de.
ecent from Ali, is the real original.
He is the Mahadi who comes again
every now and then. He was hid
den from the world at an early age
and communed only with his disci-
Piles through his lifetime, and finally
did not die, but "went up" with the
fixed intention of returning to revive
the glories of Moslem. AS in the
Christian theory and even in the his.
tory ofseveral monarchies this legend
of a prince who is to return has affor-
ded favorite preteXt for no end of
impostors, so it did in Islam. The
most famous of these in past ages was
Abulcassem Mohammed Ben Abdal-
lab, the founder of the Fatimite dy
nasty in Africa. Mohammed has
prophesied that in 800 years the sun
would rise in the west, and as Abul-
cassem's glory was in 296 of the He
gira, it was held that the prophecy
referred to him, and since then the
idea of the Mahadi has commonly
had relation to revival of the glories
of Islam in that western world of
MosIemism, the provinces of Africa
held by the Arabs.-N. Y, Herdld.

Reward and Punishment.

The following article we copy from
the Hagerstown Mail, the Demo.
cratic organ of Washington county:
"How fortune differs! While
Mackin and Galaher, the celebrated
ballot.box suffers of Chicago, are
Just convicted and on their way to
the penitentiary for frauds upon the
ballot-box, Others distinguished for
like things in this State are elevated
to Government positions of the first
importance and honor. Instead of
being punished for offences of the
kind. they are not even rebuked, but
upon the contrary honored. We sup
pose that in no State has there been
a more systematic preparation of
frauds upon the ballot-box in every
way, than in certain localities of this
State few years ago, and if necessa-
ry the same men are ready at hand to
repeat them. In no State was lobby
ing carried on to greater excess, or
the barter in legislation more
thoroughly conducted, The only re-
Election that whilst in some other
States these people are occasionally
brought to justice, in this they not
only 60 entirely free but are reward
ed and have made their achievements
pay"

Bloody Sweat.
IPopulsr science MOnthlY.


This rare affection, which has always ex-
cited in high degree the interest and at
tentiOn of medical observers, consists essen
italy Of 4 hem9-rhsge from the unbroken
spface of the skin. But, inasmuch as it
takes place from the network Of small yes
sells which surround the sweat-glands, and
makes its appearance through the opening
of the sYeat-ducts, it is not appropriately,
after all, named bloody sweat" The dis.
charge is generally intermittent, or at least
remittsnt, and paroxysmal in its
nature, the intervals varying from
few hours to months. Sometimes
IL is pure blood which coagulates in crusts
or gouts upon the surface, sometimes it is so
intermixed with serum or the respiratory
fluid as to be merely more or less deeply
coloIed bloody liquid. It's extent varies ez-
tremely; IL may make its appearance over
the whole or nearly the whole of the sur
face OF the body, but more commonly it is
confined TO some selected regions, generally
those in which the skin is thin and delicate.
It most frequently appears as a more
or less copious and continued oozing
from the surface, which, when wiped
away, rapidly or slowly reappears
from numerous minute or indis-
tinguisheble points, but it has been seen to
spring up in distinct Jet from the surface.
1t is often associated with eruptioHs upon
the skin, but quite ss often there is nothing
of the kind. Every age and both sexes have
furnished examples of 1t, though it is most
common IN females, and especially in nerv.
GUS and hysterical women. Bloody sweat
may be produced by overwhelming mental
emotions, and marks the acme OF SUCH per-
turbing passions as terror, anguish, despair,
etc.

Senator Ransom tells this story: An Ital-

State. He brought the traditional and in
eyitsble monkey along. After some mourn
full melodies the beast, in q sadly comical
way, hoped around among the crowd solic-
iting money. A big countryman upset the
lineup and cuffed the monkey. The en-.
ragged italian, in his peculiar lingo, bet the
man that the monkey could whip him. The
wager was $50, and the man was to encoun-
ter the missing link with stick. Armed
with heavy bludgeon, the bully professed
his readiness for the fray. The Italian
danced his animal up and down, and in
broken English said: Gentlemen, my
monkey is little, but he Is worse than

tricks that tiger does not know. He has
whipped mauy big men. III my monkey

by this speech. He instinctively put his

while great gulp came into his throat. To

quences, he tossed aside his stick and blus-
tered .,out: take off your confounded
