Mr.. CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW has been
interviewed concerning the possible candi-
dacy of Mr.. Blaine for the Presidency in
1888. In the course of the interview, it is
reported that he was asked to also express
his views regarding the probability of Mr..
Cleveland becoming an aspirant for the
Democratic Presidential nomination in
1888. Thereupon the distinguished New
Yorker replied that he believed Mr..
Cleveland would be a candidate Evidently
impressed with the necessity of fortifying
this opinion, he added most astonishing
reason. ~ was convinced of his intention
to be candidate by his marriage" This
remarkable exposure of Mr.. Depew's views
of the relation between cause and effect,
or matrimony and politics, was, however,
completely cast in the shade when he
struck his nearer dumb by the additional
expression: 81 shall be confirmed in that
opinion should Mrs. Cleveland have a
baby" Here, then, is new factor in po-
litical calculations, and one the bare con-
temptation of which fairly takes the breath
away. We can readily conceive what a
world of political trouble may be obliter-
ated in a monarchy, by the birth of an
heir to the throne; we can understand
how, in the cradle of royal babe, may
rock the destinies of dynasty. But we
are lost in wonder how child born in a
republic to the house of Cleveland can
better the chances Of a candidate with the
Democracy, or intensity the political am
bition of its father. In consideration Of
the stunning nature of Mr.. Depew's
opinion, he owes it to the country to at
once "rise and explain"
A CITIZEN of Detroit, who has long been
a shrewd political student, expresses the
opinion that the knights of Labor can
not hang together when political questions
are raised" We expressed the same
opinion regretfully when Mr.. Powderly,
as chief of the Knights, threw himself
into the George campaign. For we had
been led to hope for good from the Knights
organization, in the complete separation it
promised between workingmen and the
communistic influences that were brought
to bear upon them. In Michigan the
knights put up H. A. Robinson for Con-
gress and 5000 members of the Order
signed a pledge to vote for him. The
nomination was Endorsed by the Republi-
cans, and Robinson's ele; ton predicted by
5000 majority. He was personally popu-
lar, and unquestionably able Against
him was pitted Judge Chapman, a man in
many respects personally and politically
Objectionable, and by no means popular.
What was the result? Robinson was
beaten by 1,50O majority. That is to say,
when the hour of trial came the knights
who were Democrats and the Knights who
were Republicans went their ways as of
old, while the manufacturers and employ
ers, as protest against the class distinc-
ton made by the entry of the Knights
into politics as a party, voted for Chip
man. The safe thing for the Knights to
do is to keep their organization free from
political entanglements

UNDER the treaty of Berlin Bulgaria

but with the right to choose Prince for
her ruler, that choice to be ratified by the
powers. Bulgaria by her constituted rep
resentatives selected a ruler But he de-
Ginning, and the powers disappearing, they
now reverse the process, ignore the treaty,
and one of the chief among them proceeds
to nominate ruler from his own house

people to ratify the selection. Monarchies
have many time given proof of their dis

modern instance is recorded of the process

being so completely turned about and de-
stroyed as in the case of Bulgaria.

Others. The need is to send the child at
II, or at most at Is, from the Grammar
School with such thoroughness in funda-
mentals as will enable it to apply its
knowledge in activities of life Only
about FIVE per cent of school children go
beyond the first grade of Grammar Schools.
From that point ninety-five per cent. are
called to labor. They should be so in
structed as to make that labor the least on
erous and most pleasant, and 20 broaden to
the utmost their capacity to meet the need
of becoming bread-winners. Higher edu-
cation is desirable. That all children
should enjoy it is conceded but the fact
must be taken as it is-only the very few
can embrace it. To such the High Schools
and colleges are open, and where there are
none, there might well be established up
per grammar grades, mediate between the
Grammar School and High School or
academy. But below such grades, it Is
certain that there is need to look into the
complaint of parents that there is over
loading, at the expense of thoroughness in
rudiments.

Prior to Paul's conversion and Peters
vision the gospel was mostly addressed to
the Jews. The gospel was preached al
most exclusively to them because they
thought the Jews only had right to the
gospel. Probably because Christ was
Jew by birth. When they would not re-
ceive him the invitation was extended to
ALL ST. John said: He came to his own
and his own received him not. But as
many as received him, to them gave he
the power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe III his Damef Cor

sired to look into the mysteries of God but
could not. These mysteries are learned

LONDON GRAVE-YARDS,
Curious Facts With Reference to the Soil
of old City Cemeteries.

Curious Facts With Reference to the Soil
of old City Cemeteries.
There are some queer phases of life
in London which are scarcely credible
to US in this still new country. Lon
don is a very old city. The dead have
been for many centuries buried in
small city grave-yards. Little thought
if given them after the generation of
the living to which they belong has
passed away. The old graves have
been forgotten in digging the new.
The bones are scattered through the
soil, and it would seem that in some
yards fragments of bones are as plenty
as stones in gravelly soil. A PROPOSE
ton has been recently under discussion
to transform many of these old grave
yards into quite little parks, preserv-
ing the monumental stones, but max
ing the yards garden-spots. This has
led TO much public discussion. The
rector of Bethnal Green, Rev. Mr.. Han
sard. communicates to the London
Times some very curious facts with re-
ference to the soil of such cemeteries,
and the danger to public health arising
from its disturbance. But another
danger which he points out is start
ling. His rectory opens into an old
graveyard. There is no other access
to it. He says spadeful of earth can
not be taken up without turning up
human bones. In the part formealy
devoted to pauper interment he has
learned that the cffins were formerly
piled one on another in great num-
bers. The result is that the surface is
treacherous to footsteps. Decay has
left vast cavities below. Mr. Hansard
says that he has himself fallen eight
times up to his waist in ''these CHASTITY
holes" once in passing along gray
eled walk! His daughter has had two
such plunges. In aneighboring grave
yard he says policeman fell in the
night into grave hole which yawued
under his feet, and there remained up
to his neck until morning. The horror
of the night crazed him, and he died

Toads have much in common with

frog spawn is in masses, and they have

ugly warts, which give out an acrid but
notpoisonous juice. They have tongues

own skins, which, when they are cast
off. they roll up and swallow. The
muscles of their thighs and legs strik-
ingly resemble those of man. They
can not breathe when their mouth is
held open. The old necromanccrs used
them freely and in various ways in
their magic. In some parts of England
the application of II toad is supposed
to stop bleeding, and dried specimens
are worn as charms against rheu-
matism. The members of a Devon
shire family had reputation for cur.

The Paper Tree of Tonkin.

The principal material used in the
manufacture of paper used in Tonkin
is the paper tree, which grows in abun-
dance on the mountains in the environs
of Sontay. The dried bark is macer-
ated and then rubbed up in mortars,
SO as to reduce it to fine pulp, the
latter being extended with certain
quantity of water, in order to form a
clear paste which is sized with an infu-
sion made from the shavings of the
gomao tree. The paper is manufact-
ured sheet by sheet, by means of deli
cate bamboo screens, which the opera
tors alternately dip into the paste and
take out Herewith thin sheet of
paper, which is deposited upon board.
At the end of the day these sheets are
put into a press in order to extract the
moisture from them, and are then dried
by placing them, one by one, upon a
hot masonry wall, after which they are
put up in packages and trimmed Each
operative makes thousand sheets q
day. The thickness of the paper de-
ponds on the consistency of the paste,
and at one establishment as many az
$4,000 sheets are capable of being pro-
duced daily.-M. Y. Sun.
