The Fatal Ring.
lExchange.l

Superstitious people in Spain compent on the fact that the late king wore fat al ring. Among the presents which Don Alfonso gave to his first wife, Donna Me cedes, there was a magnificent ring ornamented with large black pearl en- circled with diamonds. The queen wore it until the day of her death. The young king, after the loss of his first wife, pre- sented the ring to his sister, the Tnfanta Pillar, who also vore until it she died. The superstitious may easily have suspected, in such land as Spain, that the ring it. self was not wholly unconnected with the successive deaths of the two beautiful young ladies who had worn it. The king would not give it to the third lady, but he wore it himself until he also died Queen Christina, who drew the ring from the finger of the dead monarch, debated for awhile whether she would herself wear it in memory of him, or would place it among the historic family jewels. She decided to take the latter course. A sa- tirical fellow-countryma an of Cervantes in the Spanish court is reported to have asked /" Why did not her majesty send that ring to Don Carlos?" To which another courier replied The pretenier would have marched straight to the pawnbroker's with it; and so it would have failed to produce the result so de sirable for Spain."

Fourth-Class M alter.
iGlobe-Democrat.I

Mir Wilson, of Iowa, has introduced into the senate bill increasing the pos tage on fourth class mail matter from sixteen cents to thiriy-two cents pound It is not clear whose interests MT. Wilson purposes to benefit by the increase, but 1t is certainly not the interests of the peo- pie. To them the sending of fourth-class matter is considerable convenience, and to double the rates would be consider able inconvenience, however pleasant it might be for gentlemen who hold stock in express companies. Of course, if the rate of postage on this class of matter were doubled, packages weighing more than ten or twelve ounces would be sent by express, and the number. not very great, of small packages belonging to this class would be strikingly diminished
 Among the articles mailable in the fourth class are articles of merchandise, models, sample cards, samples of metals, minerals, cuttings, bulbs, roots and scions, labels, address tags, patterns, photo graphs, bill heads and letter-heads, printed envelopes and letter envelopes and paper containing no printing. The variety of articles sent as fourth h-class matter Is, in fact, almost endless. In New York and all the great cities there are important firms, large part of whose business is got by sending out samples and patterns to country customers.
 Possibly Senator Wilson conceives that this practice is in some way prejudicial to the business of country merchants, dressmakers, milliners, and SO on. There is little reason to suppose that such is the case, for to these persons the sending of samples and patterns by mail at a com paratively cheap rate is distinct con venience, as it is to other persons all over the country. The bill Is a bad one be- cause it is against the general interest, and not simply because it would hamper few commercial establishments in the cites, important as their reasons for op- posing the change undoubtedly are.
 If the government is going to carry small parcels at all for the convenience of the people, the business should be done at the present low rates.

BY JOEL BENTON.

l passed 1t far out on the prairie, The house of necessity born; No lines of its dinginess vary So somber, so dark, so forlorn. It is bounded by measureless acres; Not fence nor a tree is in sight; But, thou gh plain as the dress ofthe Quakers, 1t stands iQ the sun s bToadest light. The badger near by makes his burrow, The gopher his hillock of soil, And blows. with their mlle lengths of furrow, Go round 1t with infinite toil. A well curb, wash-bench, a woman, With poultry and pigs, are outside; The clothes-line is wonderfully human In look, and the vista-how wide You can go 10 the sunrise or "sundown " In straight lines, the left or the right And leagues of long level are run down Before yoG escape from its sight. The roofis well thatched with coarse grasses A stove-pipe peers out to the sky. 'Tis picture whose plainness suTpasses All objects that challenge the eye. Twisted bay serves it's owner for fuel; He twists tt at ease by the roar or hay fire, which parries the cruel, Harsh bite of the wind at the door. Sometimes in an ocean of color
 (in summer 'tis yellow or greep) It stands In November a duller,
 Broad carpet about it is seen. In winter while blasts from the prairie Bring biizzards " that cease not to blow 'Tis as warm as an isle of Canary,

General Hancock's Poor Memory.
NeW TorK Irlbune.

An intimate friend of General Han cock, in speaking of the dead general's $ personal peculiarities, said: In most things the general was the soul of exact- ness, but in money matters he was laugh ably thoughtless. He would frequently come over to the city without a cent in his pocket. On discovering his money less condition look of helpless surprise would come over his face, and winking his eyes in that peculiar manner usual with him when he was puzzled, he would say: Well, declare! 1 haven't got cent. Will you lend me some money Ot course, the pocket book of every one was open to the general, but he would only accept quarter or at most lalf a dollar, and go eff uptown as happy as a school-boy. He always gave the loose change in his pocket to beggars or organ grinders, and was lucky if he saved enough to get him downtown again. One day he climbed up the stairs of the rwenty-third street Elevated station and began to tumble in his pockets for money. Five cents was all he could fnd and after winking at the nickel for a moment he returned to the street and took the Broad way horse-car for Bowling Green.
 "ln regard to letters and papers, how ever, the general was wonderfully exact. He always kept every letter he receive and had them answered and carefully filed away. His daily mail was enormous, and begging letter from an unknown person was as promptly answered and as care fully as one from a cabinet minister. He was most punctilioss about returning sa- lutes. No one, no matter who he was, eyer salu,ed the general without getting salute in return. On pleasant days he was fond of walking about Governors s Island and personally inspecting the work going on there. If in his walk he met party of strangers who salused him he would respond by courteously lifting his hat, and would frequently add: Glad to see you on the island.'"

to cause the break, but the bears used the
material already at hand, the light

and late in the day the unfavorable
bank statement. The most was made out of
these, and the forenoon saw prices materially
lower, though the purchases for foreign ac-
count prevented the dizziness from assuming
large proportions, but later in the day the
heavy sales of long stock, induced by the
frightening of the weak holders produced
another decided slump. Support was ac-
