Hope springs Eternal. Etc.

An old maid at least seventy years Of
age was helped into a chair in the office
of New York police justice. She was
very much excited.
DO understand you to say that you
think your pocket was picked by q young
man who sat alongside of you in a Third
Avenue carp asked the justice.
YES, I'm sure of it. He squeezed me
up in the corner so that I could scarcely
breathe, and he kept smiling at me, and
smiling at me, as if he knew me-"

Notable Long TnnneIs

The Simpion tunnel, which will very
shortly be commenced, is the most form
liable Of the gigantic railway connec-
tons undertaken of late wears to facili-
tate the communications between Italv
and the rest of Europe; and the project
suggests comparative note on the ex-
isting Alpine tunnels. At the present
time the Alps are pierced by three re-
markably long tunnels, entering Italy
from France, Switzerland and the Aus
trian Tyrol respectively, and called ac-
cOrding TO the mountain chains that are
traversed, the Mount Cents, St. Gothard
and Arlberg tunnels. OF these Mount
Gems is seven miles and three-quarters
In length. Its cost was $15, 900, 900.
The st. Gothard tunnel is nine miles
and a quarter in length, and cost
Sl2, 500, 000, the diminutiOn in expense
being owing principally to the more
rapid progress of the work by improve
ments in the drilling machines. The
Arlberg tunnel is shorter than either
Mount Gents or ST. Gothard, being only
i've miles and a half. The last and
most formidable rival will be the Simpi-
on tunnel, by which the existing line
from Geneva TO Martigni and Brieg will
be carried through the mountain 10
Duma d'Ossola and so on to Pailanza or
Streza on the Lake Maggioro. As this
tunnel will be commenced at a much
lower level than any of the others it will
necessarily be large, the rough estimate
being twelve miles and half, and the
estimated cost somewhere about $50, 600,

A Wise Decision

Several years ago, while the people of
West Tennessee were alarmed at the an
proach Of yellow fever, Judge F. con-
vened court at Bolivar. Court had been
but few days in session when the re-
ports from Memphis caused additional ex-
citement. There were many witnesses
attendant upon court, and, very natural
ly, they importuned the judge to permit
them to 60 home. The business part of
the community, willing to run any risk
for the sake Of trade, declared that the
scare was unnecessary, and that the dis
ease was not yellow fever A number of
physicians with 1t soon appeared, more
learning than judgment. repaired to the
court room and assured the Judge that no
danger Of an epidemic was TO be appre-
hended
The disease, said one Of the medical
gentlemen, is not yellow fever, but is

low fever, and that it can never become
an epidemic, but Is nothing more or less
than an exaggerated type Of costinetor-
digpji"
Then there arose heated discussion in
which the Judge was unable to take a
part. He waited patiently until the dis
eussion cooled down, then turning 10 the
doctors, said:
Il have been much entertained and
greatly instructed by the discussion
which you gentlemen have so ably con
Quoted. do not pretend 70 say what

Money Crops.

Some of the North Carolina papers
oppose the "all tobacco" theory as
strongly as the South Carolina papers
10 the "all cotton" theory. The Win
ston Progressive Farmer expresses as
its opinion that lit is only question
of time when the great bulk of those
who raise tobacco, to the neglect of
home supplies. will be in the hands of
the sheriff." The Danbury Reporter
brings the figures to bear as follows :
at is estimated that the work required
to grow 100 pounds of tobacco on new
ground, worth in many cases not more
than S5, will produce 25 bushels of
corn, which is worth almost any year
S25, yet many people say that tobacco
is the only money crop. The true
theory is to make home supplies the
main object, and then devote what at
tention you can to money crops. When
our farmers do this there will be no
use for the lien law. s..

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affec-
tion of the kidneys or neighboring Or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
tion are present, tlatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. \ moisture like
perspiration, producing Il very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is common attendant. Blind, Bleed
ing and Itching Piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.; Bosankos Pile

parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect

The Telephone investigation.

The resolution reported by the ma
iority of the Pan Electric Congression-
al investigating committee declares
emphatically the conclusion already
reached by all impartial people who
have followed the investigation. Not
fact has been brought to light that
gives any reason for questioning the
integrity or the honor of any of the
federal officers connected with the Pan
Electric Company. Mr.. Hale, who does
not concur with the other Democrats
in the whole of the report, joins in re-
porting this resolution. This fact
shows how maliciously the Bell tele-
phone organs have misrepresented that
gentleman's position. The resolution
will doubtless be adopted by party
vote in the House, since the Republi-
cans appear determined to make.a par
ty matter of the charges. Meanwhile,
however, the suit will go on, and the
desperate effort made by the Bell COM
pany and its organs to scare the ad-
ministration into abandoning it will
fail. The manifest fright of the Bell
people gives some reason to hope that
the public may be relieved from the
burden now imposed upon it by this
mOnopoly.
