A Steam Tricycle..

This machine will be chill climber
and warranted to overcome anything
in that line without exertion or fatigue.
1t will be so arranged that light bag
gage can be fastened on and the appli-
ancc will be adapted to either the sim
gle or sociable form of tricycle.. 1t is
thought the sociable will prove the
more popular form of the TWO, and the
manufacturers will be able to cater to
either taste of the purchaser. The
weight of the machine will be increased
comparatively little, as the appliance
will be very compactly arranged. The
water supply will be capable of five to
seven hours use before needing renewal.
Kerosene oil will be the fuel. 1t is
claimed that the invention can be ap-
piled with equal success to a four
wheeled carriage. As stated above,
several trips have recently been made,
and those who have been fortunate
spectators speak enthusiastically of the
entire success and practicability of the
invention. Patents will be applied for
in France, Belgium and Germany and
other portions of the continent. rs well

Let Him Severely Alone.

Our readers will recall the story of
how John Randolph was once bat1led
by common mans little revenge.
When about driving away from
tavern in his travelling carriage the
friendly landlord asked him, (Which
way do you go?' do I owe you any
thing!' said Randolph. No" "Well,
then | suppose | can go which way l
please" He started soon after, but
coming to a fork in the road which
puzzled him, he sent back his footman
to ask directions. The landlord accom-
panied the man, till coming in sight of
the carriage he shouted out, "You
don't owe me anything, Mr.. Randolph;
you can go which way you please
Under all circumstances, it is in human
nature to retaliate when snubbed,
though many times the revenge is quite
out of proportion to the proyocation.
In the following White Mountain story,
from the Salem Gazette, the sympathy
of some readers will go with the stage
driver:
Forty-one years ago John Smith was
the driver and chief proprietor of =
line of coaches running to the noun
tains. Whether this was John Smith
the first or the one thousandth, we can
not say. 1t was said that he had but
one eye, and that was keen and on the
main chance. On his down trip one
time, a Boston gentleman took a seat
by Johns side, and being of an inquisi-
tive turn of mind, asked numerous
questions concerning different noun
tains and views, till at length Johns
patience was exhausted, and in answer
to one question he tartly said:
Stranger. if you viii attend to your
business, will to mine"
As might readily be imagined, there
was very quiet time after this. After
drive of few miles John drove up
to country store and post office, where
the mail bag was thrown of,
While the mail was being changed,
Mr.. Smith snapped horses with man
who came for that purpose, and the
new horse was '.hitched il" and the
driver was so intent >on the trade and
so desirous of trying the'metal of his
new horse that he started off without
taking the mail bag. After drive of
some ten miles he drew up at another
Office, and on reaching for the bag and
not finding it, he said:
"I'll be whipped if l didn't leave that
bag at the other otfice!"
Yes" said the Boston man, II OBJ
served that you did. !"
"Why in blazcs didn't you tell me?'
Because you said you would attend
to your own business. and l thought l
would Let ycu.-Good Cheer.

JUDGE GARY's huMoR.
A Bit of Pleasantly by the Judge of n
Chicago Criminal Court

a BIZ OF PieaSantry by the judge of n
Chicago Criminal Court.
Judge Gary has long been famous
among lawyers and those who frequent
courts for his fondness for joke when
opportunity presents, and some of his
best sayings have been gotten off to
jurors who have begged for various rea-
sons to be excused. Oftentimes these
petitions have been so numerous and of
such flimsy character as to be annoy
ing, and on such occasions Judge Gary,
who is usually very even-tempered,
sometimes shows. though not in an un-
becoming way. a little annoyance. One
morning, when courts were sitting in
the old rookery, new jury was called
and an unusual number were begging
off. The excuses We're not new ones to
the judge or his clerks, and after listen
ing to number of them his Honor be-
gan to exhibit signs of nervousness.
Finally, after listening to about the
twentieth excuse, he refused point-blank
10 accept it, and then somewhat testify
gave notice that it would be useless to
present any more such flimsy reasons
for wishing to avoid a duty which every
citizen who might be summoned owed
to the state. The warning did not
deter an anxious talesman who had al
ready taken his place close up to the
clerks desk from urging his plea.

man, '!what l have to say it will be

us have it from where you are"
"Well, then" said the juror, "the
fact is I've got the itch, and l, don't
like to sit here with these other men,
and don't think they will care to sit
with me if they know ii.
The stern face of the court relaxed
instantly, and. leaning over the desk,
he said to George Gary. the clerk, a

Ont among the wheat fields rearing,
Day just o 'er the hilltop peepins
A joyous thrill
With mystic skill
Sets my pulses leaping.
The robins sing amid the trees,

With faded face fair Luna stands,
Back gazing to tho sun-kissed lands;
Ayerse to leave the enhancing view,
She slowly treads her path OF blue.
Tho clouds above. a. the hills below,

The mists that hide the tinkling stream,
Are tingsd with gold from thesunlight's

Far to the heavenly ocean beach
Shadow-decked, the meadows reach;
The opal dome, the grassy maze,
Are mingled there in blushing haze.
With laggard pace wagon train
Il windinE through the ripping grain,
Like tiny schooners, eastward drawn,
To meet the smiling flushing dawn.
The MISUNDERSTANDING, tinted

Like white caps crown the sloping glades;
The lustrous, swelling foothills make
The pillows Of an emerald lake.
Bright pearls Of dew in spnrkles shine
From every leaf OF tree and vine;

Each seems the face OF a mighty sea.

Likely to Ensue at a Mining Camp in
Illinois.
ST. LOUIS, July 13.-The situation at
Grape Creek, Illinois. where the miners are
on a strike for higher wages, becomes more
serious each day. A force of thirty-five
deputy sheriffs constantly guard the mines.
A large number of plantation negroes were
brought from Kentucky last week to take
the strikers places and remained at work
unmolested until yesterday, when the white
miners to the number of 200, armed with
rifles. shot guns, revolvers and clubs,
marched in body to the mines and de-
manded of the negroes that they return
whence they came. After an extended
parIey the colored men marched to Dan
Vile. where they will consider the adyisa-
biiity of continuing at work. In the mean
time the mines are idle and the strikers are
jubilant. Should the negroes decide to re-
turn and fulfil their contract, riot and
bloodshed will ensue. The mining COM
pany has elected from their houses all Of
the strikers and their families, numbering
1000 men, women and children. Those
who have no money have built rude huts
where they live in the most abject pov-
erty.

HARTINGTON,S POLICY.

Lord Salisbury Accepts 1t, But the Par
nellites, Never.
LONDON, July 13.-An agreement has
been arrived at, by which Lord Salisbury
accepts Lord Hartington's home rule pol
icy, which involves the maintainance of
the full powers of the imperial parliament.
BY it the powers conferred on the local
councils in Ireland are delegated, not sur
rendered, by parliament, which body re.
serves the right to control and reverse
the action of the councils. The
appointment Of judges and legal
administrators are centered in the
imperial parliament. Lord Harrington is
still reluctant to join the conservative
ministry, although he had pledged himself
to support coerciye measures and the gen.
eral policy of the conservatives.
In Gladstonian circles confidence is ex-
pressed that the premier will resign. =.
The Psrnellites say they will never ac-
cept Lord Hartington's scheme. The totals
of members elected at midnight ale: Con-
servatives and unionists, 365; Gladstonians,

MINNEAPOLIS, July 14.-Sioux Falls,
Dak., special to the Evening Journal: In
the constitutional convention this morning
ardent speeches were made by Judge
Campbell and Major McCallum in favor of
submitting to vote of the people of the
territory the question whether South Da-
kota shall not at once declare itself state,
and against this proposition by Judge Ed
gertOn, Mr.. Haines and others. A recess
was taken till IL o'clock to allow Judge
Campbell time to reply to the last speeches.
He made an able and forcible speech in
which he asserted that the convention
would never reassemble and that the state
organization would be nought unless the
convention decided to submit this proposi-
tion to vote Of the people. At the con-
clusion of his speech vote was taken by
ayes and noes and the proposition to repeal
section 80 was decided negatively by a vote
of 81 to TO- The result occasions much
surprise and is bitter disappointment to
Judge Campbell and his supporters. The
convention adjourned this afternoon.

The following executive order was issued
by the president this afternoon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION
s.a-- WASHINGTON, D. G., July II, 1885.
To the heads of departments in the service of the
general government.
| deem this proper time to especially warn
all subordinates in the several departments and
office holders under the general government,
against the use of their official positions in at
localities; Office holders are agents Of tho peo-
ple not their masters. Not only is their time and
labor due to the government, but they should
as IN the discharge Of heir ocal duties oend ss Ms
ing by display of abtrusive partisanshp to their
neighbors who have relations with them as public
officials: Oft They should also constantly remember
that their party friends, from whom they have
received preferments, have not invested them
the power of arbitrarily managin POLITICAL affairs.
dhGy naye no right os holders to dictate the
the. party lines BY methods, and practices,
which pervert every useful, and -justifable pur.
federal office holders should not be felt in the
manipulation OF political primary meetings and
nominating conventions. The use Of these Off
as delegates to political conventions is indecent
ties and requirements Of official place viii also
tiesi campaigns: Tadividaai interest and po ao-
tivity in political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Office holders are neither disfranehised
nor forbidden the exercise of political privileges
but their privileges not enlarg 3D. nor is their
duty to the party increased by pernicious activity
You are requested to communicate the substance
OF these views to those for whose guidance they
are intended.
