Ben lie Fever as a compromise

The Democratic majority in Or
egon on the head of the ticket in
the recent election was $500. At
the last election before that, Ore
gon gave 1000 Republican MAORI
4 ty. And there are numerous small
fry politicians who chatter a good
deal about the Generalization OF
the Democratic party. Does the re-
suit of the Oregon election look
much like it?

President Cleveland will do right
to put his foot on all the "grab

buildings in unimportant cities
like GAINESVILLE and Dayton. The
whole business is in the nature of
a alogrolling" grab of the public
funds.

Tn 1880 the people of Michigan

In 1850 the people of Michigan
adopted constitutional prohibitlon'
and thenceforward no legal provi-
sions for licensing or regulating a
trade supposed no longer to exist
was possible. The result was that.
.liquorwas soldthroughout the State
without let or hindrance. The Chi
cago Tribune, in a lengthy review
of this Michigan experiment,Eays:
Cities could sewer their streets and confine
| the city's inevitable filth to regular channels.
| The Constitution robbed them, however, of
all right to bride the drink habit ofthepeople.
1t gave them a simple choice between abso-
lutte prohibition and absolute free whiskey.
This was a choice between that which was abb
s~olutcly impossible and that which was abso-
lutcly damnable. The people, not being able
to meet impossibility, submitted to damnation
For twenty five years they were damned witt
free whiskey under a prohibitory law. There
is nothing in the history of civilization SO per-
fectly and abiectly inexeusable as the mac,
tivity and imbecillity of the prohibitionists o
Michigan during this Twenty-Five years o.
Michigan misrule.
The people of Michigan at las
concluded that prohibition was {
failure, andin 1875 they struck thu
prohibitory clause from their con
stitution and the Legislature i'm
posed a high license and required
the saloon keepers to give bonds
not to sell to drunkards or minors
and not to sell on Sundays or cleo
ton days. The result has been
notable decrease in the number Q

The Age of Fish.

Many statements have been made as to the
great age fish may attain. Some persons
think that there are carp ut Founlanebleau
that date back to the time of Francis l., but
the majority is skeptical in regard to this,
and for good reasons. Professor Spencer F.
Baird thinks that we may allow an age of
200 years for certain carp. There is nothing,
says he, to prevent fish from living almost
indefinitely, since they have no period DINA
turity, and grow every year of their life. In
Washington there are goldfish that have be-
longed to the same family for fifty years, and
they appear to be scarcely any larger than
they were when purchased. In the royal
aquaIia at st. Petersburg, there are fish that
are really 140 years old. Some of these are
fully five times larger than they were when
introduced, while others have gained but a
fraction of an inch in length. Itappears that
in China there are sacred fish of still greater
age

MY SAILOR.

he lay at my side On that eastern hill,
Ny brave, sweet lad with the golden hair,
And gazed at tho vessels, which seem to I'LL
The ripping breadth Of the harbor there
The black-hulled vessels from over the sea,
The white-sailed vessels that came and
went
Il am going to sail away" said be,
ITO sail some day to my hearts content,
Il shall see the waving of southland palms,
The dark, fierce fronts Of the icebergs tall,
And gather the grapes, as a beggar aims,
From vines on some Spanish converts
wall
Then he drew my hand from beneath his
chin,
And trailei my fingers across his lips;
yes, we both will sail fiom this town of
Lynn
In one of those staunch old black proved
ships"
So one summer evening his ship set sail,
And fioatsd Off in the twilight grim;
l heapsd up the vessel with blossoms pale,
And wept that could not follow him
And I can not say that the palms are there,
Nor icy mountains he longed to see;
But know be sailed into lands more fair,
And stronger arms, when he went
from me.
o, my brave sweet lad how his angel eyes
VIII gaze out over the ocean dim,
That reaches from earth unto Paradise
Til l set my sail and follow him
