There are several stories related by the
court chaplain respecting the eccentricities
of the Duke of Cambridge, who would give
vent quite loudly to the thoughts current in
his mind during divine service. When the
clergyman said, f'Let us pray" the Duke ad-
ded audibly, ''With all my heart" On
another OCCASION as we have heard, he said,
"Why the devil shouldn't we?" Once, as the
Zaccheus, "Behold, the half of my goods

praying for rain in northeast wind" The
court chaplain informs us that the curate of
Kew got SO nervous at the continued inter-
ruptions of his royal highness that he re-
signed his pointment.-Exchange

An English paper tells an anecdote of an
American lady who was invited by the Prince
and Princess of Wales to garden party, ex-
cusing herself from attending on the ground
of previous engagement, and it sneers at
the American lady for not knowing that
royal invitations in England are commands.
'This," says Vanity Fair, ''is all rubbish.
The only royal invitations that are commands
are those of the sovereign herself. Neither
the invitations of the Prince of Wales, nor
those of the Duke of Teck, or Prince Henry
of Battenberg are commands in any sense
of the word. The sovereign alone can COM
mand her subjects on their allegiance, and
she can only command her own subjects.
Her power of command does not extend to
an American or any other foreigner"
The situation of affairs at Peabody, Mas
sachusetts, is well calculated to make good
citizens thoughtful. There was trouble
there over some ''non-union" men, and a
public meeting was called Sunday in the
Town hall at 4:30, notices having been read
in the churches, to condemn mob rule and
assure the authorities of support in main
tanning order and protecting life and proper
ty. No clap of thunder from clear sky
ever startled and shocked the community
more than the fact that this meeting, by an
overwhelming vote, declared in favor of mob
rule Resolutions favoring the suppression of
lawless acts were offered and voted down by
a viva voce vote of more than two to one.
In the evening private meeting of the Law
and Order league was held and arrangements
made to subdue any attempt at violence.

CAMPAIGN DoDeE,

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser gives some interesting infor-
nation concerning the operations of the
Democratic congressional campaign commit
tee. One of the strong points which the
committee will try to make is upon two bills
which failed to become law, namely, the
Northern Pacific forfeiture bill and the bill
repeating the timber culture pre- -emption and
desert land laws. The whole blame for the
failure of these measures is to be placed up
on the shoulders of the senate and the at
tention of the SOC, 900 members of labor or
CARNATIONS who petitioned for the passage
of acts of this kind is to be drawn to the al
legged facts.
But this little scheme may not work very
successfully. On the day the senate ad-
journed Mr.. Plumb, on behalf of the senate
conferees OF the repeal of the pre-emption
act, made the following statement:
At the meeting preceding the last one held
by the conferees the senate conferees agreed
to yield absolutely the provision protecting
entries in the hands of innocent purchasers
for value. Before that time they had agreed
to yield SO far as to confirm only such entries
as were in the hands of persons who held $40
acres of land or less, and subsequently ten
dered reduction of that amount to 800
acres, SO ss to cut out all possible chance of
entries being confirmed in the hands of per-
sons who had employed others to make en-
tries for them, such as cattle syndicates and
so on. That being rejected, they finally and
at the last conference agreed to yield the
whole provision and only ask the house to
agree that, where fraud was alleged hav-
ing entered into an entry of public lands, the
question might be sent to the courts fer trial,
like any other issue involving property or
other interests. That the house conferees
declined to accede to. They finally also de-
clined to sign a report setting forth the point
of disagreement, SO that it was out of the
power of the senate conferees to report in the
usual formal way to the senate what had oc-
eurred and hence it seemed proper that this
statement should be made in justification of
the senate conferees on this very important
subject, and for the purpose of showing that
they at least were not responsible for the
failure of a bill repeal, the pre-emption and
timber culture laws being passed at this ses-
sion of congress.
With these facts on record the Democrats
will not be able to make much "campaign
thunder" out of the matter.

The Pnafma.ter.Eener Yields.

The Postm master-Genera1 Yields.
Washington Correspondence Kansas City Times. ]
When the rich mineral district of Vulture,
Ariz., was developed large mining camps
were established, thronged with enterprising
prospectors, and all went well save the sup
ply of mail matter, which came to hand only
once a week. Petition after petition was for
warded to Washington urging the necessity
of increasing the mail supply, but the de-
partment was deaf to all entreaties and made
no reply whatever to the repeated demands.
Everybody was in indignant despair, when
Professor George A. Treadwell, a noted
mining engineer, undertook the apparently
impossible task of securing daily mail.
The professor went to work deliberately to
prepare supply of tin and wooden boxes,
and at each outgoing mail forwarded to the
Postmaster-General the finest obtainable
samples of Arizona products of horned
toads, lizards, centipedes, scorpions and tar
antulas, finally winding up with an extraor
dinary specimen of the rattlesnake species.
Each of these was accompanied by long
and graphic description, from the scientific
standpoint, of its origin, genus, habits, ETC.,
and to each letter was added a postscript:
81 shall keep up the supply as long as Ari-
zona furnishes anything novel or strange, or
until mail facilities are properly in
creased"
The officials of the department were at
first pleased by the packages of natural curl
esities, and did not catch on to the drift of
the thing until the twenty-seventh speci-
men, fine rattlesnake, came safely to hand.
Then new light broke in upon the postofice
people and they became Immediately tired of
the horned toads and ''sich." The professor
was duly visited by letter of thanks for
his contribution to science and the sugges-
ton politely made that the Postmaster Gene
raj would take it as a favor if he would
cease remitting any more specimens. A
postscript, however, was added by the cor
responding clerk, which read about as fol-
lows: "For Gods sake don't send any more
of this sort of stuff and you have any
thing in the department you want" Nail
service was increased to daily and no more

Reware of torn checks.

A new and ingenious swi indie has been de-
tected, as follows: A check, say for SO, is
obtained from depositor at bank and q
blank check exactly like the filled-in check
is secured. The two checks are laid one up
on the other SO that the edges are exactly
even. Both checks are then irogularly across
and in such way that the signiture on the
filed check appears on one piece and the
The checks having been held together while
being torn, of course one piece of the blank
cheed will exactly fit the other piece of the
filed check. The swindler then fills in one
piece of the blank check with the name of
payee and the amount to suit himself, say
$1,000, takes it with the piece of genuine
and explains that the check was accidentally
torn The teller can put the pieces together,

A table prepared by the United States
consul at Mannheim shows how our export
trade in slaughtered meats (mainly pork has
been affected by German legislation. There
were imported into Germany in 1880, from
America, II, COS, 900 Kilograms of slaughtered
meats. In the following year the amount
imported was only 4O1, 700 kilograms, while
in the five years, 1875, the total amount
was only 2,75S, 400 kilograms. 1t was shown
long ago that the assigned for exclu-
sion-the alleged infection of American pork
with trichine-was not the real cause. Our
consuls' reports frequently contain proof that
the protected pork of Germany is not free
from these parasites.

has been troubled with forged Bank of En-

frequent complaints have been made by the
victims of these frauds. It is evident that
the forgers have either access to the bank
paper or have found means of copying it ex-
actly, for the strictest comparison between
the real and forged notes fails to show any
difference in the water mark or quality OF
the paper; and, in fact, high authorities in
the Bank of England say that it is impossi-
BILE to detect the difference except by signs
and numbers known only to themselves.
