SIXTY DAYS OF DEMOCRA-
TIC RULE.

In the business world sixty days,
with the customary three days of
grace, give long enough time to
learn what kind Of stuff a man is
made Of. Mr.. Cleveland and his
Administration haye had sixty days
and three days of grace and a little
more in which to make an impress
upon the country for good or ill.
The first fruits are ripe; but the
country reaching up to pluck the
luscious product that was promised
finds in its grasp only Dead Sea
apples. The great journals of News
England that Numbered for Mr..
Cleveland last fall are whispering
small volumes Of anathemas over
the Chases, the Pillsburys, the
Troups and the Higginses. The
Democratic organs everywhere are
putting in queries about postofices
and collectorships. In the bound
less West and do~wntrodden South
only one theme absorbs their at.
tention-the distribution Of the
loaves and fishes. The statesmen
of the party are holding their hats
at the White House entrance for
crumbs Of executive favor. The
Vice. President creeps around the
Departments at Washington like a
needy snpplicant.
The days and the nights of the
Administration are given over to
the distribution Of offices, to the re-
ward of men for party service, to
the manipulation of the public
patronage so that the party may
retain power. Bossism is restored
in all the States. The cloak OF
Civil-Service Reform Is pinned up
on the White House gate, but
through the gaping rents in it may
be seen trusty public servants dis
charged as alleged offensive parti-
sans" while the Democratic politi>
cal hacks and mountebanks who re-
place them are bedecked as reforms
ing saints. A laundering politician
from the whipping>post State heads
the Cabinet. A machine politician
leads and manipulates it. Ex>Con-
federates, unpardoned and unrepen.
tant rebels, and virnlent Copper
heads are selected for important
foreign missions.
These are the impressions caused
by the first sixty days of Demo
cratic rule. The policies of governs
ment that a new administration
might be expected to enter upon
and advocate are still in the din
distant future. The impress of the
President on the country is wholly
and solely connected with the dis'
p~ensation Of the spoils Of political
victory. Aa inquiry as to the
principles or policies or public
views Of the President or his Ad
ministration meets with blank re,

degraded beyond comparison, tn

tered, and Is falling away from th
great principles which were follow
ed under Republican rula will

spectacle is not pleasant. But wheI
the people fully understand whithe
the country is drifting, they can b
trusted to apply the remedy. IN

A Petersburg Couple ElOped.

PErERsBURG, Va, May 24.-For
some time past Romulus Barrow, a
well,known young man of this city,
has been paying attentions to Miss
Cora Charles, an attractive young
lady residing here. 1t appears that
the parents of the lady opposed the
attentions of Barrow, which, how>
ever. se'ved only to strengthen the
attachment Of the couple. This
morning they met by appointment
at the depot Of The Petersburg and
Weldon Railroad, and took thu train
for Weldon, N. G., where they
were married by a justice of the
peace. Soon as the elopement bes
came known here the parents of
the young lady telegraphed to a
magistrate at Weldon to prevent the
marriage, The telegram arrived
too late, for the ceremony had iust
been performed. The elopement is
the topic of social circles. Mis-:
Charles IS about eighteen years OF
age, and it is said that she and Bar
row had been fully attached to each
other since childhood.

''Why, few years ago, when I was
check-grabber, we didn't take no
such chances of getting into show.
The door-keeper used to give out plain
tickets, upon which some mark was
stamped in ink. The boys would make
up pool and send one who could be
trusted to come out again up into the
gallery. In a few minutes he would
come out with check and show it to
his chums. Sometimes the mark was
plain cross, then again it would be
star, or someth ng easily counterfeited.
What did we do about it? Simply dup
Heated this mark by cutting it on the
bottom of piece of cork. Then we
cha red the cork and the blank check
was stamped Nearly all the boys
would get hold Of blue, red, white,
yellow, or some other color of blank
tickets, and every night these would be
compared with the checks issued by
the theater folks. Instead of paying
25 cents for ticket, they would prob
ably beg, steal, or borrow cents, and
give it to the owner Of the stamp for
the evening, and he would put on the
required mark. The check was sell
dom refused, but after awhile the door
keepers dropped on rs and we had to
quit. Now they change the checks
every night and use an advertisement
of some business house, which we can't
initiate. Lots of fellcrs around Wash
ington know the old cork trick, and
many of 'cm have used it who could
afford to pay their way, but they liked
to beat in. y Washington Post.

Stronger Than Dynamite.

man from an Eastern city, who has
devoted some time to the investigation
OF the power and properties of explo-
sives, has come to the interior of this
state, says a Huntingdon, Pa, dis
patch, to continue his experiments.
He found it necessary to retire to Sc
Guided spot, where his dangerous COM
pounds could be handled without injury
to property. The place he selected is
known to few, and he desires that it
shall not be disclosed, so that he may
not be interrupted in the week or two
that he may remain. He desires also
that his name shall be withheld from
the public until he has fully tested
new explosive that he claims to have
discovered. Various trials Of its eff
fectiveness have been made, all of
which, he states, have been entirely
satisfactory, and prove it to be more
destructive than dynamite. He says he
can furnish the Nihilsts better ex-
plosiye than any they have yet had
Three of the most important of these
trials were made last week
First,a solid rock protruding from the
base OF Tussey Mountain, of which
1860 cubic feet, estimated to weigh
eighty-tive tons, were exposed, was
drilled to depth of six feet, more
than half its thickness, and glass tube,
seven eighths of an inch in diameter and
ten inches long, filled with the explo-
sive, was introduced. The rest of the
operation was the same as in blasting
with dynamite, and the result, was as
complete breaking-up of the rock as
could possibly be accomplished. Near
ly half Of the exposed part was broken
into fragments that man can lift,
some of them being thrown a great dis
lance.
Second, a sound white-oak tree three
feet in diameter was perforated to the
heart at a distance of eight feet from
it's roots, and a small glass bail con-
tanning the compound was inserted and
exploded. The body of the tree was
split into kindling-wood and the roots
were torn from the earth, and no two
of the limbs within thirty feet Of the
ground remained together.
Third, rifle was charged with pow
der and the ball was fired into a pine
tree, penetrating it to the depth of two
and half inches. The gun was then
charged with the new explosive and the
ball fired into the same tree, the pene-
tration being nearly five inches.
The substance is in liquid form when
made, but may be solidified by mixing
it with another substance, which is it
self combustible and is entirely consum-
ed in the explosion. 1t can be broken
into small particles, or granulated, so
as to be in appearance like gunpowder.
AS to its chemical composition, no in
formation can be obtained except that
suggested by its name. 1t is called
nitro-petrolene.

Sewing Women.

Social science presents many per-
picking problems, but there is none
more difficult of solution than the mys-
terry of the sewing women. From the
time when Hood wrote the "Song of
the Shirt even until the present year
of grace and the Republic, men have
been made uncomfortable by the
thought that it is not shirts but wo-
mems lives they wear.
With periodicity like that of sun
spots and Presidential elections, there
appear in the newspapers accounts Of
women who prick back starvation with
the needles point at the rate of Is or
20 cents a day for ma ing shirts from
dawn to midnight. There is reason to
believe that these stories of starvation
are true. and it is beyond question that
the women who make shirts and wO-
men $ underwear for dealers, work for
shamefully low wages. And yet if any
gentlewoman who reads this paragraph
has occasion to call in the assistance of
a sewing woman to help her at home
with needle and machine, she will find
an astonishingly tight market, SO to
say, confronting her. She must search
diligently in order to find seamstress
disengaged, or likely to be disengaged
at an early day. She must pay her So
or $3.50 per day, and board her; and
she must be excessively polite and cour-
teous to this honored guest if she is to
keep her until the sewing is done
Many gentlewoman's head has
been made to ache IN the endeavor to
solve this mystery. # there are women
. who sew for 20 cents q day and board

It only required single season to

potatoes and milking long-tailea cows

him. especially as he, and the farmer
and his wife differed radically unon va

and particularly upon the amount of
pie necessary to satisfy the stomachic
cravings of healthy and growing boy;
so one night he returned to Detroit
without even soliciting the approval of
his foster parents. Nor did they mourn
and refuse to be comforted.
Years rolled on, and the boy became
8 man and master of a trade. He en-
barked in business for himself and for
tune favored him. Being in Pontiac
one day on business, and having a few
hours at his disposal, he decided to re-
visit the old farm and note the changes
time had worked, and, if the old folks
We're still living, give them a surprise.
He argued that the stalwart form and
bearded face that had come with man
hood, and, above all, his smart clothes,
would be sufficient disguise; and be
laughed in anticipation OF the conster-
nation they would feel when they came
to realizA that here was the boy who
wanted more pie.
Procuring a spanking pair of horses
and glittering top-buggy he drove
along the well-remenb ered country
highway. An hour later turn in the
road brought the old farm into view.
There was the old house, looking some
what older and dilapidated, but the
old barn had disappeared and n new,
red one stood upon its site. The old
well-sweep was there, and beside the
path leading from the road to the porch
a wood-pile that looked exactly like the
one he had formed an intimate ac-
quaintance with nearly score of years
before. So far as his eyes ght could
detect the self-same geese and turkeys
saluted him as he dismounted and
h tched his horses to fence post, and
there upon the porch, sitting bolt up
right knitting away at the same gray
wooden stocking was Mrs. McGlory,
dressed in same stutfy old gar
ments and looking scarcely day
older
Quickly he decided to assume tho
character of a real estate agent desir-
ing to purchase a farm and started up
the path, being fully aware the old wo-
man was cycling him closely over the top
of her spectacles. AS he reached the
woodpile she exclaimed:

house, just bring me an arrum of
