the prestige and power of the administration.


For these party associations, to whose infll-
ence, under the Just restraint OF intelligent pat
riotsm. the wiSest legislation is due. Mr.. Schurz
has neither appreciation nor appreciation.
He ispires to the title of ''Indepcndent" and
has described his own position as that of
watching carefully which way he may leap to
keep out of the mud. A critic might, without
carping. suggest that it is the duty of an earn
est man TO disregard the bespattering which
fidelity TO principle often incurs. and that
beaten path TO safe place for ones self is not an
inspiring or worthy object of craftsmanship.
Nor is MIR. Schurz's independence of party
more pronounced or more complete than his
independence of true American feeling. lie
has taken no pride III appearing under the
simple but lofty title of a citizen of the United
States. lie stands rather as a representative
German American. lie has made his native
nationality Il political resource, and has there
by fallen short of the full honor due to his
adopted nationality. The large body of Amer
lean citizens of German birth are intensely at
tached to their new home, and seek the most
complete identification of themselVe, and their
descendants with the development and dcS-
tiny of the Great Republic. This is wise, and
is in accordance with the best traditions and
best aspirations of the Tcutonc race. But to

of wire crossing street broke from the
additional weight on the metal, and it sagged
so low AS to catch the driver of an omnibus un-
der the chin and cut off his head as clean as if
done with knife. He was much surprised and
resigned his position. If you have no trouble
in believing that, try your confidence on the
following, which happened only fortnight
since. A little fishing smack sailed from the
coast of Scotland to carry an invalid lady to Il
near town for medical advice. The crew CON
sisted of the captain and two sailors and
during the trip the former fell overheard. The
two men brought the boat into the wind and
went in a skitf to rescue the drowning man,
which they succeeded in doing, but on turning
to 90 back found that the sail boat had veered
to the wind, was going rapidly to sea with the
passenger, and they We're unable to overtake
it. With much difficulty they pulled to land,
gave an alarm, and AS soon as possible a steam
er was sent to the rescue but founA no sign of
the runaway craft. The search was continued
two days unsuccessfully and then was abaE-
doned, but in less than a week news came from
the coast of Norway that the boat had come to
land there in safety with its one passenger ull-
harmed, certainly wonderful voyage for an
invalid woman to make alone.

ner, excepting that the fire is allowed to
reach them in the kiln-the color BEING
obtained from it. The white clay pipes
which look like new meerschaum are made
so by being vanished.
The factory visited makes about fifty
different styles of pipes at present, and
can make as many as the ingenuity of
man can suggest by means of molds
One style of pipe was of red clay OBJ
tanned from Maryland, in the form of a
head, and that head representing the
famous Brooklyn divine, Rev. DR.. Tai
mage. The mouth is used for the bowl
of the pipe, the neck being utilized for
the stem. The demand for this style of
pipe was very large for a time, but none
are manufactured now. Various other
curious styles were seen, one bust of
Garfield, which proved total failure on
the market.

Let Them Have Their Fill.
Detroit Free Press.

One of the sanitary squad of the police
force was up Mullet street the other day,
when an old gray-headed citizen accosted
him with:
'Maype you like to cotch some pad
boys, eh?''
eff [ see any bad boys I shall certainly
catch them," replied the officer.
Il cotch some for you now"
"Where?"
The old man beckoned him into thr side
gate and around the house. In the back
yard were four cherry trees loaded with
the ripe fruit, and in the branches of
every tree was boy from eight to twelve
years of age. Guarding the trees were
two dogs, and that they were anxious for
boy-meat was plainly shown by their ac-
tions.
when did you catch 'em?" asked the
officer.
"Six hours ago. If you don't want 'em
guess I'll leave 'em up till night. If
some poys like cherries it vaas too badt
to pring 'em down pefore he vhas whole
full"
The officer went away and left 'em roost-
ing high.

ROSecrans as a Fatalist.
San Francisco Post.

"Gen. ROsecrans was the most fear
less as well as the most peculiar man in
the powder business that [ ever met.
Some years rgO he was experimenting
with nitrO-glyerinea and chloride of potash.
He was also trying to make new kind
of percussion-cap. Every afternoon he
would go out to the old stone quarry and
make experiments with dynamite there,
the mayor having given him permission
to do so. He had taken quite fancy to
me and he'd come around and take me
out with him. I never saw man expert
ment with explosives as carelessly as he
did, and as / did not care to be blown to
pieces myself kept warning him of the
risk he kept mourning. His only reply
was when mans time comes it comes.
He appeared to be a fatalist, and would
not believe that person could be killed
before it was allotted for him to die
One day he had some nitro-glycerine in a
pan and was doing something with it. I
knew that it would explode in the hot
sun and said: General look out. That's
going to explode. He did not seem to
care, and [ warned him again, but he
kept on with his experiments, repeating
that phrase of his about a mans time
coming only when it was appointed. He
needed some tool that was lying short
distance off and went over to get it. He
was about twenty or thirty feet away
when the nitro -glycerine exploded. 1t
did not phase him in the last. He remark
ed without any emotion, well, that was
a pretty close CALL and resumed his ex-
periments. It was a wonder to me how
he ever escaped death out there.

several places twenty feet distant from
the room where the accident occurred.
and in other cases there are deep gashes
in the walls made by the flying debris.
Mrs. Weakley repeatedly Remarked: at
was miraculous that Mr.. Seger and nv
self escaped with our lives, as we we're in
the very midst of it,"
The dentist who still acted and talked
nervously, was asked to explain the oc-
curance. He said: IA few minutes be-
fore [ began work, on Mrs. Weaklev's
tooth touched a match to the gas stove
under the vulcanizer, which sat in the
open window few feet from the operat-
ing chair. This heats the water in the
cylinder that generates the steam for use
in another connecting one of equal size.
These cylinders are of brass, about six
inches in diameter and inches high.
We Vulcanize about 120 pounds of steam
pressure, or 345 degrees Fahrenheit. No
ticing while at work on Mrs. Weakley's
tooth that the pressure had reached 12O
pounds, | turned the gas down very low,
but nevertheless in few moments heard
the fearful explosion and was stunned bv
the violent conclusion. The only ex-
PLANTATION of the explosion that can
offer is that these vulcanizers generate
steam very fast aud having no safety
valve are liable to such accidents as this
The reporter was then shown pieces of
the wrecked machine. The gas stove at
tachment was of cast iron and the cylind-
ers of brass about a sixth of an inch
thick. It was pieces of the exploded evil
inders that were driven with the most de-
structive force and which shivered the
mirror, tore through the ceiling, gashed
through the brick walls, and shattered
the doors and window sills. From their
size and the force with which they were
hurled by the explosion there is no doubt
that if any of them had struck either of
the persons in the room in vital part
the injury must have been fatal.

He Had't Any Equilibrium.

In 1881, IN the Sagadahoc county court,
held In the city of Bath, Me-, a case for
assault and battery came dp for trial:
Mrs. o. VS.. Mr.. o. Judge G. for plaintiff
and Lawyer L. for defendant. Mr.. O., bv
the way, kept grocery store in a small
country town, also the postoff1ce in his
dln1ng-room and sitting-room.
Mrs. o. had testified that Mr. o. had
pushed her with such violence that she
fell from platform to the ground and
injured her side in consequence of the
fall, etc.
When Mr.. o. come upon the stand he
swore that Mrs. o. first pushed him.
As Judge G. arose to begin the cross
examination of the defendant Mr.. O.
braced up with an evident determination
that the lawyer should not ''browbeat"
him.
Judge G.-Mr. O., was it your business
or profession?
Mr.. 0. am merchant, sir, and a gov
eminent officer, sir.
Judge G.-What Office do you hold I'm
der the government?
Mr.. OF am the postmaster in my own
town, sir.
Judge G.-Did understand you to say
that you pushed Mrs O. down?
Mr.. Ono, sir, said that I pushed
her, and she fell down. But first she
pushed me.
Judge G. how hard did she push you?
Mr.. O.-She pushed me as hard as I
pushed her, sir.
Judge G.-Did you loose your equilib-
rum when she pushed you?
Mr.. Ono, sir, 1 did not loose my
equilibrium. 1 had no equilibrium to
loose, for never had any, sir very en-
phatic2; and I don't think that you as a
lawyer have any right to ask me any such
questions, sir.
Judge G. smilingly replied: ooh, beg
pardon! was not aware that you hadn't
any equilibrium
