In country where n creased cartridge
shook an empire, it is easy to see that the
invention of OleOmargarine and its COM
pounds may rock the foundations of the
state. According to The Times telegram
from Calcutta, panic has seized upon
the Bengdlese on account of a discovery
that ghee, the clarified butter which
they eat themselves and which they offer
to their gods, is being adulterated with
fat. The Mohammedans fear that their
ghee may be larded; the Hindus are
equally afraid that their ghee is mixed
with the fat of oxen or of sheep. To eat
such fat is in their eyes a deadly sin, TO
offer it to their gods an infamous sacri-
lege. Hence legislation in hot haste
against impure ghee, and suspension OF
all standing orders in order TO hurry the
bill through all its stages without delay.
Who can say how many souls might be
lost forever if oleomargarine were once
to be introduced among the natives OF
India' The Yankee buttermakers have
already much 10 answer for. Their oleo-
margarine, when treated with 80 per
cent of butter, is indistinguishable from
the unadulterated product of the dairy.
They are running the buttermakers Of
Cork, and now they are enda ugering the
peace Of our Indian empire. What fer
tile field of speculation is opened up by
this incidental illustration of the politi-
cal, social, and religious effects of a SIM
pie invention in the art of manipulating
fat!-Pall Mall Gazette.

"But il is in the retail clothing business
that salesmen's salaries are measured by
the number Of friends they have, more
than in any business that / know Of. In
buying clothing every man feels that he
needs good advice, and particularly that
he likes TO buy of salesman who has
good taste, and who appears 10 he candid
and anxious to please. You know there
are statesmen who appear to know just
what q man wants even II he doesn I
know himself, and these men are sure to
make friends and have customers follow
ing them wherever they go.
Il know a man who began, two years
ago, in one Of our clothing houses, on a
salary of So week. He made a study Of
the business and of customers, did the
best to please, and carefully jotted down
the names and addresses of all men to
whom he made sales. A year or more
later he engaged with another firm on q
salary of 81 200 year, and then sent
note to all of his customers advising them
of his change of base and inviting them
to call and see him. Soon men were call
ing at the store every day, asking for this
salesman, and making purchases of him.
He was busy when his brother statesmen
were idle Amid the selling checks the
proprietor found this salesman's name
more frequent than that of any other
man in his employ. What was the re-
suit? Why, the very natural one that
the salesman became well nigh indispensa-
bic, and he is now drawing a salary Of
s., 500 a year. Young man, instead Of
complaining Of the wretched wages paid
clerks, and cursing your employers,
jump in and see if you can't make your
self Indispensable. You are not clerk'

General Robinson At Re.aca.

To THE EDITOR: The article in the Ma.
tionAl Tribune OF September 10, headed
Gen. J. s. Robinson" recalls an incident of
the war which made a lasting impressi on
upon my mind. The Eighty second Ohio was
commanded by Col J. s, Robinson upon he
Atlantic campaign, and was attached TO the
Third Brigade, First Division, Twentist b
Corps Ths Thirteenth New Jersey was a
part of the Second Brigade of the same
division and corps, and between the Eighty
second Ohio and Thirteenth New Jersey
there was very close bond Of union At the
battle of Resaca, when the Second Bri-
gade swung in on the extreme left, the
Twenty-seventh Indiana and one or two
other regiments dashed in upon the Johnnies,
captured prisoners and flags and were raising
Cain generally. The Thirteen New Jersey
was ordered in, and as 1t started cheers were
heard Just behind us and voices rang out
above the din, go in Jersey, the Eighty
second is behind you" and we know by ex-
perience that the support was sufficient
Just at this time to our right and front
was observed mounted officer coming from
the direction of the melee 1t was Col. Rob
inson, who, after placing his famous Eighty
second Ohio in the second line of battle, had
ridden up and down the line formed by the
Second brigade, cheering on the boys and
helping the fight This was not the first or
last time the gallant colonel was observed
doing the same thing, and because Of his
fighting qualities and the valor of his reg +
ment the Thirteenth Now Jersey always en-
tertained the warmest friendship for tbe
command-E L. ALLEN, Chaplain, Thir-
teenth New Jersey, Deposit, n. Y, in Ma

P.nitentiary Outr.ges Fully Proven.

The Democratic state executive committee
is devoting its energies 20 defending eX-otii-
GERS Of the penitentiary for skinning dead
convicts Governor Foraker's eloquent and
forcible arraignment nearly paralyzed them,

around for liars who are willing to make
oath that human bodies were not skinned
They have found several-most of them being

tentiary or were beneficiaries of the crooked
ness practiced there-and are this week flood

some Of whom are wilful liars, while Others,
through party yea, have sworn to matters they
know nothing about Joel s. Skillen, rep

he saw DIR. Montgomery skin dead convicts
and put the hide in a basket in the presence
of the convict Nye, who, with another pris-
oner, swears that the skins were made into
canes by Nye The canes have been pro-
duced. and proven to be Of human skin by
DIR. Kinsman, leading physician and en-
inent microscopic A Democratic tanner Of
Columbus has testified that DR.. Montgomery
brought a human hide to him to tan, and
other convincing and unanswersble evidence
in the same line has been produced.

from DIR. Obetz, who was forced TO resign
from the deaf and dumb asylum by Gov

said were skinned were brought to a medical
college for dissection unmutilsted DR..
Montgomery himself says they were buried
in the penitsntiary grounds. Thus their own
stories conflict Others swear that spplica-

are so applied for These affidavits show the

Prof. Egbert C. Smyth, of AndOver SEM
mary, gave brief statement of Andover
theology, at a meeting of the Triennial Con-
gregatiOnal council, at Chicago, the other
day. He referred 10 the retribution ques-
ton and assured his hearers that AudOver
was thoroughly orthodox. II know of nc
professor at AndOver." said he, ''whO ques-
tons or ever thought of questioning the
supreme authority of Scripture, as the
special divine revelation, as the only per
feet rule of faith and practice. We EN-
phasize the truth as it is found in Jesus, the
indispensable motive power in the recovery
of the soul TO eternal life. We believe in
the testimony of the Holy Spirit as neces-
sary to personal conviction and discovery
and assurance of the truth. The purpose
of God is TO deal with all men upon plane,
not simply Of justice and law, but of re
demption. The chief, l might say almost
the entire, strength of the faculty is given
to the establishment of the great funda-
mental doctrines on which We are ali
agreed, and to fit men rightly to interpret
the Scriptures, and in their own terms to
teach Gods message to men. We, however,
distinguish between doctrine and dogma.
The professor further said:
In the exercise of this right, brought
under subsection to the Scriptures, we do
nothing that may not be done. under all cir
cumstances of Congregational fellowship.
We ask you to judge us simply by what We
ourselves say and not by what Others say
of us.

Governor Foraker's Striking Presentation

Governor Foraker's Striking Presentation
OF the Difference Between the Candi-
dates.
Governor Foraker presents the following
striking contrasts for consideration:
"But would have you vote for Gen Rob-
inson not simply because OF what he is as a
man and citizen, but also and more partcu-
larly because Of what he represents He
stands for free ballot and fair count-the
taxation Of the liquor traffic and the suppress
SION Of its eyls He stands for economy and
honesty in the administration Of public
affairs; for all, in short, that is essential to,
and involved in, good government
But not so his competitor. Let me briefly
call your attention to some things Mr.. Nc
Bride must necessarily represent as the can
didate at this time Of the Democratic party.
And first, what does he represent as to the
purity of the ballotf'
Governor Foraker showed that Mr.. Nc
Bride represents fraud and forgery as cleo
ton methods, and continued:
But John Mcbride is a representative Of
something else in this campaign which the
people of this state, Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, cannot afford to endorse, and
that is reckless extravaganza in the admins
tration of public affairs. Governor Hoadly
was inaugurated on January IA, 1884. On
that day there was a cash balance in the
state treasury to the credit Of the general
revenue fund of $2SS, lOs69 not cent Of
which had been drawn in advance from the
county treasurers in anticipation Of the set
Elements. When Governor Hoadly's admin
istratiOn ended there would not have been
one cent in this same fund, but for the fact
that they had drawn in advance upon the rev.
enues of this year to the amount Of $4,000
And not only had they used up all that was
bequeathed them, and all that belonged TO
them, and all they could, by reaching for
ward, rob their successors of, but they had
contracted heavy liabilities which they had
not attempted to make any provision to
meet. And on top of it all they had submit
ted for allowance by the legislature their es-
Inmates Of what would be the necessary cost
of running the state government for another
year. and these exceed their estimates Of the
revenues from which they should be paid by
the sum of 8, ,364, ~. Never before in the
history of the state has there existed such a
financial condition. There had not only
been an unparalleled extravaganza, but a
stupid imbecility in the management Of
every department that was hurrying the
state forward to practical bankruptcy,
against which there did not seem to be even
a disposition to provide"

LIFE At THE HAGUE.
An Aristocratic City in HolIand-Its
Peculiar Features.


Peculiar Features.
The Hague, called by the natives
S'Gravenhage, can hardly be regarded as
a characteristic Dutch city either in an
old or in a recent sense. 1t is city Of
aristocracy, of the wealthy middle class,
and not of eminence. Where its archi-
lecture is national it lacks something Of
the national character, and where it is
really modern or cosmopolitan il is want
ing in elegance. Its streets are narrow
and crooked for the most part Its open
places, which are sometimes set with
trees, occasionally laid out with shrub
berry and flower beds in the Dutch FASH
ion, but Oftener paved with brick set up
on edge and surrounded by old and un-
attractive buildings, which partly atone
by their number and spaciousness for
their lack Of more pleasing qualities.
There is an air Of solemnity about the
place more marked since the shortening
of the days and the first premonitions Of
autumn. The grass keeps its intense
greenness, but the trees begin to show an
ominous yellOwness of leaf. The skies
are often leaden. The sun is seen rarely,
and never in the plenitude OF its splen-
dor, and there is little in the life of the
place TO lend an artificial radiance to the
universal gloom. There are few noisy
vehicles to waken discordant echoes.
There are street cars of the American
pattern winding their sinuous way
through the tortuous streets, giving a
little movement and making distant
neighbOrhOods more accessible There
are few fashionable shops. The others
are small, and their business is carried

My opinion is that there will be gen.
eral European war. Why are they not
busy making preparations? Have they not
been working TO that end for long time?
Certainly they have. They are all ready,
their appetites are whetted. and their minds
made up. Russia will probably war against
the combined forces of England. Austria,
Turkey, and probably Italy. l see no
chance for the czar to back out. When
that fight begins, France and Germany will
renew their old troubles and make things
lively. II will be a big fight, and America
will probably profit by it.

Character Indicated by Penmanship.

There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their writings.
As the writing of every nation is distin-
guished by certain strong national pc
culiarities, it is easy for an expert to de-
eide to what nation a writer belongs.
Having settled that, certain large charac-
teristics, which are common TO all men,
but in different degrees, can be seen in
every handwriting A certain number
of men are calm, even-liyed, sensible and
practical. Men of that class are almost
certain TO write plain, round hands, in
which every letter is distinctly legible;
neither very much slanted forward, nor
tilted backward; no letter very much
bigger than its neighbor, nor with heads
much above or tails much below the let
tiers not so distinguished; the letters all
having about the same general upright
ness, and the lines true to the edges of the
paper, neither tending upward nor down
ward.
Exact. business like people will have
an exact handwriting. Fantastic minds
revel in quirks and streamers, particu-
larly for the capital letters, and this
quality is not infreqdent in certain
business hands, as if the writers found a
relief from the prOsaic nature of their
work in giving fiourishes to certain let
ters Firm, decided, downright men are
| apt to bear on the pen while writing,
| and to make their strokes hard and thick.
On the contrary, people who are not sure
| of themselves and are lacking in self
control press unevenly and with anxious
looking scratchy hands. Ambitious peo-
pie are apt to be overworked; they are
always in haste and either forget to cross
their ts or dot their is. They are also
| apt TO run the last few letters of every
word into an illegible scrawl. Flurried,
troubled, and cOnscious-twinged persons
have a grabbed and uneven handwriting.
