HISTORY OF x WEEK.

A six year old boy in North Carolina at
tended child's funeral and itso impressed
him that he concluded to have funeral of
his own. He accordingly took his little
baby brother to the grave which was near
his home and opening the grave put the
baby in box and mailing on lid buried it.
He then went home and told Ills mother.
She fastened to the rescue but the baby
was found dead with its skull and right arm
broken.
A serious strike is in progress in
Cleveland, Ohio, among the workers in
iron. Upon one day a mob drove away
the workmen from every iron working
establishment in the city and seriously
assaulted many workmen. A few of the
works have been started up again under
the protection of large bodies of police but
most of themremain closed for fear of the
mob
The Chicago street car strike was
terminated byJ. Russell Jones, president
OF the company, agreeing to personally
Investigate the charges against the sixteen
discharged men and to reinstate them if
the grounds for discharge were insufficient
The strike cost the company $4,000 in loss
of receipts.
Miss Cleveland's new book was issued
Monday last simultaneously in New York
and London. The book is 800 pages and en-
titled ''George Eliot's poetry and other
Studies" The fact that the author is the
sister of the President makes great sale,
10000 copies being taken Immediately.
The strike of the street car drivers in
Chicago has become so serious that the
entire police force has been called into
requisition to protect the new drivers and
conductors.
The great stallion race between Maxey
Cobb and Phallas took place at Cleveland,
Ohio, on the 18th. Phallas won in 2:l4,
2:15s4, and 2:2OA. The purse was s15,O 900.
Crop reports from Kansas are very
gloomy. Great storms Of wind and rain
have ruined million. bushels of wheat in
that State during the past week.
The census just taken of Buffalo, New
York, shows population of 2O2, 900 against
155, $50 in 1880.
Fresh Indian troubles in Colorado are

In New York city they are bound to
have the telegraph poles abolished and
the wires put under ground whether
the companies like it or not. They
have secured law from the legisla-
ture requiring the companies to put
their wires underground by Nov. 1st,
1885, and in case they do not comply,
have appointed a board Of three COM
missioners to see that the work is done
and charge the expense to the compan-
les. The commissioners have a salary
OF $4,000 each, and as they have al
ready been appointed and begun to
draw their salaries, it is likely some
thing will be done with the wires. The
day is not remote when telegraph COM
panies will take down their poles all
over the country and place the wires
underground as a matter of choice.
They will do this owing to the increas-
ed facilities and permanency it will
give them, and the boys Of to-day will
look back at the era Of telegraph poles
as crude and defective system Of
communication, just as the men of to-
day look back with administration
upon the previous generation which re-
lied on stages and canal boats for
transportation. The telegraph people
will some day be surprised to think
that legal compulsion was resorted to
in order to make them adopt so great
an improvement as underground wires

They do things up handsome ssout
West" At Miles City on the Fourth,
man who was running a wheel of for
tune in tent advertised fight between
a mastitf and a bear. The dog was a
little fellow and no match for the bear
and the public soon saw it was ascheme
to get an audience to patronize the
wheel of fortune. The cowboys would
have been delighted if it had been a
small bear and big dog, but to have the
conditions reversed made them mad.
They accordingly tore down the tent
and put a rope around the operator S
neck, making it sufficiently tight to
cause him to refund all the money he
had taken in.

NOTES OF THE TIMES,

The janitors of the public buildings
in Washington celebrated the Fourth
so faithfully that they did not raise the
flags in honor Of the day. They .ad-
hered very faithfully to the general
rider to close the public buildings and
did not go near the structures. Some
men can be very literal in obeying an
order which gives them holiday.

THERE could be no better evidence
of the deep and patriotic hold which
the Fourth of July has upon the Amer
lean people than the general suspen-
sion of business upon thatday. The OBJ
servance of the Sabbath is held in very
much less respect than the observance
of the nations birthday. Made up as
this country is of all classes Of people,
gathered from every nationality in the
world, different views are entertained
relative to the Sabbath, but when it
comes to the Fourth Of July, the ma
tive-born and the adopted citizen meet
on the same ground and all unite in
doing honor to ''the day we celebrate. y
The only labor performed on that day
is that which is occasioned by positive
necessity.

This is q Fable.

Once IN large city, not thousand
miles from Port Huron. there dwelt a
maiden whose mother, being In moder-
ate circumstances, was put to great
straits to so educate her daughter thar
she might occupy higher walk in life.
She worked hard and deprived herself
of every comfort. And how was she
rewardedp Strange to say, this young
lady appreciated her mothers sacrifices
and did all she could to lessen her lab
ors. Upon returning from school she
would devote her time to the kitchen
until the hour Of her music lesson ar.
rived, and then she would make the
piano howl. She arose early and as
sisted with the washing and ironing,
and when her young man took her to
the ice ca cam parlOr at night she al
ways slipped some choice cake into
her pocket for ma. Finally she and
the young man were married, and the
best room in their honse was devoted
to the old lady, who never afterward
did lick of work. Moral: This is
not true story. 1t is fable iowa
in Port Huron Tribune.

The death OF Hon Edgar X, Apgar,
Deputy State Treasurer of New York,
which occurred Tuesday, removes from
life brilliant and brainy man, who has
for years been one of the leaders of the
Democratic party In New York State,
and was chiefly instrumental In bring
Ing President Cleveland before the
American public, his being the speech
that nominated that gentleman for
Governor.
Probably lnolman,of his position has
maintained such a decided Influence
upon the Democratic politics OF New
York State as Mr.. E. X, Apgar He was
neither vain nor ambitious and hls dis
inclination to thrust himself forward,
with some other causes, kept him In
comparative political obscurIty. He
asked little In the way Of place or recog
milton from hls party, but hla very un.
usual qualities Of mind were fully
known TO and were constantlysayailed
Of by the leaders OF the party, He was q
born poll iclan, but his theOryof politics
was founded upon the mo't.exalted con
cep'iOn Of the responsibility Of parties
and party men. He was an enthusiast
In the beat senNe Of the word In every
thing thatrehted TO politics.
During President CIeyeland's admin.
istratlOn AZ Governor Of New York Mr.
Agar was constantly In consultation
with him, aud was admitted TO close per
sOnal intimacy. He was man Of llne
literary tastes, u very charming c0nver'
salionaliat, a stauuch friend 10 those he
liked and bitter foe 10 all fashions OF
meanness or personal or political cor
ruptlon. In politics for nearly u score
Of yparl, he derived little pera0nal bene

JUDGE Foraker at o Lincoln Club
meeting shortly after his denomination
for Governor by the Springfield conyen-
tlon said "You are not called upon to
say whether you favor license or don't
favor II, whether you favor prohibition
or not, but you are called upon to day
whether you are In favor of doing that
which IL practical and effective, and
which Ia shown to meet popular favor"
Lot tho reader ponder moment after
witnessing this wonderful straddling
act, and then present the remainder Of
the paragraph from the Judges speech,
Here II IL Their publican party has
pledged Itself TO the justice to all inter-
ests concerned, but, telling that the
traillc ought TO bear Jult share Of all
burdens Of the community, II has de-
clared In favor OF restraining and re.
pressing them" In this juggle with
language there is nothing clear but the
fact that Judge Foraker declines 10 say
whether he iS for or against prohibition
or for or against license, and advise Re.
publicans to be neutral on these points,
Why not face the mnslc like man ?
Why this straddling and lodging The
