The total annual revenue of Holland
is, writes LOuiSCttte COurier-JOatrndL
correspondent, about $50, 100000 and
her total annual expenditures for the
last few years, owing to the eXtraor-
dinary cost of building new dikes
and repairing of Old ones, has been
about 500, 100000. She pays $303, $50
annually to her king and his household,
and an annual interest of $13, 151, 100 on
her public dept. She has about 1000
miles of dikes on her seacoasts and
water courses and the annual cost of
keeping these dikes in repair is about
81, 100000. These dikes are immense
embankments, from ten to twenty-five
feet high and as many feet broad,
thrown up on the seacOasts and water
courses to prevent the inundation of
the entire country. On the water side
they are protected by stone or timber
lining, and on the top of the land side
they are covered with beautiful green
sod, bushes, mostly willows, largely
used in their constructiOn-and fire.
quently by trees, and in many instan-
ces there are fine, shady roadways on
the tops of these dikes. When you
stand on the land side of some of these
dkes, YOU can hear the waves of the
sea beating against the other side from
five to fifteen feet above your head.
The entire kingdom of Holland is also
interlaced and intersected by thsusands
of miles of canals.

Isaac HOsier's Blighted Heart.

A special despatch from Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, says; Isaac Hosier, OF
of Pine Plains, Duchess county, has
sued Mrs. Mary Ann Lindsey, OF
Philmort, Columbia county, for
breach of promise of marriage, fixing
his damages at $4,000. Mrs. Lind
sley, whose maiden name was Kel-
sey, resides on her farm at Philmont.
Some years ago her father died, and,
as she was the only child, left her
personal property and real estate to
the amount of nearly 100000. In
order to care for the farm she had to
hire help, and in 1882 she employed
Hosier to take care of the stock, in
cluding the horse. He was temper
ate, industrious man and had worked
for farmers in the neighborhood many
years as farm hand. While in Miss
Kelseys employ be frequently took
her out riding. Last fall and winter
a young Hudson lawyer named Frank
B. Lindsley became a suitor for Miss
Kelsey's hand, and on the 10th of
February last they were married.
Soon after Hosier left her employ
and disappeared from the town, and
now he has brought the suit REFER
ed to. Mrs. Lindsley is about thirty
five years of age and was once quite
handsome, but i'll health has taken
away some of her beauty. The plain.
tiff is about the same ye as the lady.

Brigham YOung's Progeny.

The number of the late Brigham
Youngs progeny has been a subject
of frequent speculation, and very
conflicting assertions have been made
about it. The probability is that he
did not know himseli, for, besides
the wifes he kept and the children
he reared upon his ten-acre lot in
the Mormon metropolis, he was ubi-
quitously married all over Utah, and
sporadically throughout the United
States and several European coun-
tries Mormon women were instruct.
ed that it was high honor to be
''sealed" to Brigham because of his
ecclesiastical dignity, even though
they snould not set eye upon him 6
second time.
A gathering in Salt Lake City q
few days ago affords means at last to
make an approximate estimate of the
extent to which Brigham multiplied
himself that is not guess work. On
June l his family there celebrated
the eighty-fourth anniversary of his
birthday. The Deseret News the

hundred persons of both sexes" al

An unknown man, with his throat
cut, was found in the woods neal
Clearfeld on the 18th inst.
At Pekin, O., Mrs. Noah Moss
holder, aged 81 years, attempted to
save the life of little child which
had wandered on a railroad track
before an approaching train, and both
were killed.
The Baltimore American says: A
great deal of talk has been occasion
ed by the mention of the fact that
the President always used new mon
ey. Some people laughed at the idea
that he handed crisp new 800 bill
to DIR. Sunderland for his marriage
fee, and, again, that he put a crisp
new So bill in the collection plate at
the Oakland church. People said,
"Why, the President must have mon
ey made especially for him.
The truth is, the President always
receives new notes direct from the
Treasury. He never gets old notes,
except in change when he pays bill
or makes purchase. The United
States Treasurer, on the last day OF
each month, sends the President his
salary-S4, ,166 66-the odd change
in bright new silver and copper cents,
and the notes all new and of the lat
est issue.

The President and the Note Shaver.

The Boston Herald tells the foil
owing story: Representative Frank
Lawler, of Chicago, takes more queer
constituents to see the President than
any other member of Congress. The
President has come to appreciate this
fact Last Saturday Mr. Lawler took
up to the White House ex-Alderman
Patrick Sanders, of Chicago, who
has made a fortune shaving notes at
cent per cent Sanders, VINO is very
conceited, SAID to Lawler just as they
were going into the White House /:
Tell him that I'm a millionaire So,
when Lawler presented him, he said {:
MIR. President let me present ex-Al-
derman Patrick Sanders, of Chicago,
one of our millionaires. 1t did not
take many minutes conversation to
show the President Just what sort of
a man the ex-Alderman was.
MIR. Sanders, said the President
somewhat suddenly, while his eyes
twinkled, ''do you ever loan money 2"
''Oh, yes, Mr.. President, respond
ed Sanders, adding cautiously, ION
good security"
'Well, said the President in Joe
ular way, Il have just begun house
keeping, and it is possible that Imay
want to borrow some money. L
haven't much property for security.
There's my country place, which is
worth S25, 900, and 1 have some prop
erty in Buffalo that may be worth
$4,000 more-say $4,000 in all.
Now, if 1 should want to borrow
100000, do you think you could
loan it"
Sanders took it quite seriously,
and began to perspire with conflict
ing emotion. "Well, SIR" he said,
after some hesitation, I'D like to ac-
commodate you, but $50, 1000 is a big
discrepancy"

story, "he suddenly caught my arm

Primary Election System.

Considerable opposition has de
veloped of late to the Crawford coun-
ty system of primary elections in
certain countiesin Pennsylvania The
Republicans of Lancaster and Tioga
and the Democrats of Westmoreland
and Lehigh appear to be especially
agitated over the matter. The prop
osition is to return to the old dele
gate system, allowing anywhere from
thirty to one hundred men to select
and nominate county tickets and del
egates to State conventions, instead
of entrusting the matter to one hun
dred times that many voters.
The amusing part of this attempt
to get the nominating body in coun-
ty politics small enough to be easily
manageable bv boss politicians is the
plea upon which the change is advo-
Gated. The candidates, say these
apostles of reform by the delegate
system, buy up the voters like sheep
by the hundreds and thousands.
The new-old plan is, therefore, urg-
ed in the interest of honesty and pur
ity. Ii nominations were intrusted
to delegate convention the people
would not be corrupted as now, &C.
cording to the advocates of the dele.
gate system. To save the thousands
of voters from the temptation of toe
many seductive fve-dollar bills Oh
bills of smaller or larger denomiua
tions, as the case may be, it is pro
posed to let select few make up the
tickets.
While there may be a few honest
but misguided men who are sincerely
in favor of removing the selection Of
candidates as far from the mass oi
voters as possible, it will be found
that the real instigators of the move
ment are the corrupting politicians
themselves. 1t will cost q good dea
less money to corrupt a majority Of
a convention of one hundred than tc
buy up a majority of the ten thou
sand voters the one hundred are al
legged to represent. Another evil Of
the delegate system beside its cheap
ness to the men who buy nominations
is that it encourages the voters to
carelessness and indifference in the
matter of primary elections. Many
a voter who will go to primary to
vote directly fora candidate he knows
personally or by reputation will not
go to vote for a delegate who will
vote in convention for nobody knows
who. That the Crawford county
system is not a perfect one everybody
will admit But a change from that
system to any form of the delegate
system in order to promote purity at
primary elections will be leap from
the frying pan 70 the fire, as nobody
knows better than do the interested
political bosses, who are trying to
secure the change.-Philadel
Times.

CHARLES Wolfe, of Union county
the cold water campaign al
Bradford, by speech on the even
ing of the 10th inst He had long
speech prepared. He was two hours
in reading it
The main points of his address
are, that, the business of dealing in
intoxicating drink effects society gen
orally, and inficts great injury di'
rectly, and indirectly upon the whole
people, and for that reason it comes
within the scope of Legislative con-
troll. He declared that the license
question had been tried, but failed
to control the evil. He declared pro-
hibition to be the remedy. 1t is the
highest duty of civil government to
control or prohibit the traffic. He
declared that Republicanism in Penn
sylvania had declined into Cameron
ism, which stands for ''the incompe-
tent, the arrogant, the INSCRIPTIONS,
haE-republican, half democrat, half
tariff, half-free trade as spoils and
business interests dictate" The way
out Of the wilderness is to join the
Probibition party.
Wolfe's speech is reported as a
good one, and he himself is represen-
ted as q man of good character and
first rate habits, and there is no use
of singing mud at him, for it will
not tarnish him, therefore there is a
deeper concern for one large link
that Mr.. Wolfe left out in his speech.
The loss of that link, sis like playing
Hamlet with Hamlet left out" If
he had just taken another hour to
work the link in, how complete the
chain, but he left it out. Heleft the
Democracy out. 1t can't be possible
that MIR. Wolfe believes that they are
a prohibition party, Does he believe
they have reformed, does he believe
that they have sinned their day of
grace away, and are passed reform?
1t is probable that we all must wait
till Wolfe delivers another speech,
perhaps he then will read three hours
and give the erring brethren a hear
ing. 1t is hoped that the Democra
cy Will not grow angry over Wolfes
slight of them in his speech.

A YOUNG man named Winfield B.
Thompson, who was pursuing medi-
cal studies in New York, created a
sensation in Gotham by getting mar
ried to a New York City girl and go
ing to the Sturtevant House and there
in their bed chamber, killed MS wife
and shot himself so seriously that he
has been lying in critical condition
in a hospital ever since the crazy act.
He is the son of q preacher in one OF
the western states. The remote
cause of the murder and attempted
suicide was false education as to the
duties and responsibilities of life.
The immediate cause of the act was
want of money. His father had been
keeping him in funds A city paper
in speaking of the case says: He
does not seem to have been a bad
hearted fellow, but simply one of the
many young men who enter into the
active affairs of life without seeming
to understand its responsibilities.
Without any definite aim orambition
he seems to have been chiefly desir
Gus of leading a genteel life and of
making love to every pretty face that
he met. The result was that he spent
more money than he could get and
and contracted responsibilities which
he could not face. Every city is full
OF these Thompsons, dapper fellows
who have no strong moral balance,
who do not think it respectable to
work, and who destroy their manhood
and make sneaks of themselves by run
ming into debt with everybody who
will trust them Heaven only can help
the pretty Jennie Kahlers who are
foolish enough to fall in love with
them.
Since the above was put in type the
young man died. He died last Fri
day, three days after the murder of
his wife.

A Big Pot Of Money Dug Up.

employ of Peter Herdic, contrac-

cavating at the new reservoir at the

ID. McClain discovered an earthen
pot, securely sealed, which was filled
to the brim with Mexican and Ameri-
can gold and silver coins of ancient
date. McClain refuses to make public
the amount of money the pot contain
ed, but his friends say it is several
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1886-06-23
thousand dollars.

As soon as the discovery was made
known Mr.. Herdic put in claim for
the treasure on the grounds that it
was found on his property, while Nc
Claim insists that it is under the COM
mon law relating to treasure-trove.
Mrs. Christian Colestock is another
claimant. Her deceased husband sold
the land to Herdic and the widow al
leges that the money was buried by
Colestock years ago for safe keeping.
All the parties have employed counsel
and the ownership of the contents OF
the pot will be tested in the court.
