T,ur HoAn bill, providing for the presideI

The HoAR bill, providing for the presiden-
tisl succession, has become the law of the
land, and neither a republican president pro
tom of the senate nor democratic speaker
OF the house are longer in the line. The bill
provides that in the event of the death or
incapacity of both president and vice presi-
dent, the succession shall fall to members OF
the cabinet in the order of their rank.
While the new law is in many respects, better
than the old one, 1t is far from satisfactory
and the matter will, no doubt, be the subject
of much future discussion. One noticeable
feature about the passage of the bill was the
eagerness of the democrats to push 1t through
because it provided for democratic presi-
dent, in case Of President Cleyelands death,
while they almost unanimously opposed the
same measure during President Arthur's
administration because the cabinet was then
composed of republicans instead OF demo-
Gratis. The great majority of republican
members showed their consistency by sup
porting the bill on both occasions.

Read Your Proofs.

Nothing tends more to make newspaper
attractive than clean printing and careful
proof reading. Yet nothing is more common
than to see in the average country newspa-
Der glaring blunders in photography, spaces
sticking up, or letters broken, dropped out
or misplaced. We insist there is no excuse
for such carelessness, for it can be properly
called by no other name. The foreman OF
any office, who will allow the press to beeI
running when he sees lead, space or quad
sticking up has no right to occupy such po-
sition, and should be at once reminded OF
his duties or placed in some less responsible
situation.
Il il related of Gen. James Il. Steedman
that as he rode into battle ut Chickamaugs
one of his comrades asked him, if anything
should happen, whether he had any specia
requests to make, to which he replied: eyes
General Granger, il fall in the fight, please
SEQ my body dccently buried, and my name
spelled correctly in the newspapers" and de-
liberately spelled il.
The General was an old printer, and knew
the trouble of locking after laundering anc
careless editors.
Numerous ludicrous plumbers have Otter
been pointed out and laughed at by newspa

letter or point has given an entirely differ

A Ques tion.

Was Jumbo an elephants Big and
tall as he was, he had not attained to
his full size and was expected to grow
for three or four years to come. He
had grown considerably since his ar
rival in America. His food consisted
of grain, bran, hay, vegetables, such
us carrots or beet roots, ETC.. and
of these articles he consumed be-
tween five hundred and six hundred
pounds per day. He drank about three
barrels of water day. In addition to
his great size there were several pc
culiar physical features about Jumbo
which excited much curiosity among
naturalists, and led some eminent
scientists to express the opinion that he
was not an elephant at all, but that he
was allied to the old and now extinct
mastodon species. In his back there
was deep hollow, where, in other
elephants, there was a large convex
curve, and his head was curved in a
marked manner where other elephants
are hollow. His knees, too, were not
in the same place as are those of other
elephants. They were much nearer
his thigh, making the upper part of his
leg unusually short and the under part
unusually long.-kent (Emg.) Hertld.

sist the Missionaries.

sist the Missionaries.
There is always something new in the
world One of the latest new things is
a screw-driver. Years ago wise man
said there were two things which even
Yankee could not improve upon, and
they were screw-driver and woman
But the Yankee has knocked the wise
mans prophecy higher than Gilderoy so
far AS the screw-driver part of the
proposition is concerned. With the old
time SC ew-driver you felt around and
steadied yourself about five minutes and
found something to brace against while
trying to get the drivers blade in the
notch of the screw. Then you smiled
and gave twist or two, when slip
went the tool, and your knuckles coli
lided with the screws head
In three or four minutes you
succeeded in readjusting the implement,
gave another twist or two to the handle,
BECAME over-confident, worked too
eagerly and bent the screw out of posi-
ton. After one or two more trials you
got mad, flung the screw-driver into the
coal-hod and took the hammer and
pounded the blank thing in. But with
the new screw-driver you do not do it
that way. You put the blade of the
driver in its proper place, steady your
self, and press down. The pressure on
the handle revolves the driver, and the
first thing you know the screw is home,
and you are surprised to find it there
without one break or a single crossword.
A mechanical rig in the handle of the
tool reyolves the blade of the driver by
pressure, and it can't get out of order.
