The boycott OF the bootblacks against

gentleman came walking out of the
post office and was Immediately sur
rounded by crowd of ''shiners."
''Shine, MYSTERY" cried one, appealing
~. pointing to tine dirt-covered shoes of
the man.
"NO," he answered CURLY as he walked
on.
''Oh, please, mister, let me shine 'em,"
continued the boy. II haven't made a
cent all day"
"All right" replied the man, "get to
work"
The boys companions crowded around
him to watch tine operation, and after the
little fellow had completed shining one
shoe he looked up and said
''Say, mister. us boys is got a union
now, and do sn't shine tor a nickel any
more. It's dime now"
IL won't give you a dime," answered
the gentleman.
"Look here then, | don't shine the
other shoe. Boys, give him the boycott"
The DOy arose and put up bis brushes,
while his companions began to shout
''scab," "bacaleg,' and "Give I'm the
boycott" This was signal for all of
them To run into the middle OF the street
and pick up dirt, which they threw at the
polished snoe and over the mans clothes.
The missiles came so thick and fast that
the victim had to run into City Hall and
appeal TO Chief BlackmOre and Detec-
tive He'll, who succeeded in dispensing
the boys.
They watched their man from the dis
lance, however, anu as soon as he lett the
chiet they followed him again and began
their assault anew. The man was finally
compelled 10 seek refuge in u car.
"inaJ old dufier," said one Of the en-
bTyO boycOtters afterwards, was one of

on of towns ana Notifications. Inc
Mexican government treated the VISITORS
with every mark of respect, and wherever
soldiers re stationed reviews were
held. In the City OF Mexico the mill
tarY display was a most imposing one,
and was the subject of frequent refer
ences by Gen. Grant and Gen. Sheridan.
The latter was heard TO say one day
that it would take 400, 600 Of orr troops 10
march to the City Of Mexico. The
efficiency of the Mexican army, no said,
WAS admirable, but they lacked
officers. With officers OF equal
ability, Gen. Sheridan thought that
the Mexican troops would prove as
formidable an enemy as the United States
could encounter. After the last reYolu-
tion, which ended in the overthrow OF
Lerdo, Gen. Diaz immediately began a
system of rigid army discipline, which
has resulted in bringing the Mexican
regulars up to remarkably fine 8 and
ing. In commenting upon this subject a
prominent army officer well acquainted
with Mexican military affairs said that
the troops of the sister republic are
harder and can stand much more fatigue
than ours. AS an illustration of this he
cited the march made by Diaz in 1877,
when he took 1000 troops seventy-four
miles in one day. These soldiers were
infantry. Mexican soldiers are said to
be as tough as their mustangs and cap
able OF more endurance.

What Some OF the AnCicnts thought
of the UneXpiored Universe.

What Some OF the AnCicnts hought
Of the UneXplore,I Universe.
The doctrine of an infnity of Inhabited
worlds was taught about 625 years 3. G.
by the Grecian philosophers, Aenophane
aud Anaximander. who were contempora-
ries of Gautaima Buddaa.
Democritus 1851 y. c. thought that
alsny of these worlds resembled ours,
while others we're in everything dissImi-
lar.
Nearly all Of the primitive nations SUP
posed that around and beneath the earth
was an immense ocean, below "nlch WAS
s'the abyss" or .'uhder world the place
OF punishment for the wicked. nose
rivers of which they had never discoF-
cred the sources, such as the ME- were
supposed TO rise in this 0oeGu aud also 10
empty into Il.
Democritus believed that the earth
rested upon the air, like a bird with out
stretched wings.
Thales taught that it floated upon the
ocean, like a vast snip.
The Hindoos said that a tortoise sup
ports it upon It's back, aud the Buddhlsts
that it is supper ed bv world OF air,
Tue Inhabitants Of Buddhist Uturukuru
and the HyperbOreans were very similarly
favored. Dwelling beyond tn influence
of Boreas, the latter never felt the cold
north wind The women felt no pangs in
childbirth. They lived to The aye OF a
thousand years, yet never suffered decay
or mental or physical faculties. Neither
disease nor old age was the lot OF THIS
blessed race, "wholived apart from all toll
and battle, undisturbed by the revenge
full Nemesis" When tired of life they
crowned themselves with garlands and
leaped from a nigh rock into the sea.
1t is singular fact, proved by the in
designations and discoveries of biologists
and natural historians, that this legendary
idea of the ancients in regard to the pleas
ant climate of extreme northern regions
was a correct one. The mammoth, huge,
herbtyorous animal that could onIV have
subsisteu where there was tToplca lux
uriance of vegetation, has beeu found
within the polar circle imbedded III the
ice and perfectly preserved.
the jewellers OF the Uturukuru are
never sick, never subject to any accident
and never appear older than 16 years.
They do no labor, receiving food, clothes,
ornaments and Injuries from the tree
called kalpa-warska. The tree very
kindly extends what may be wished for,
thus saving the trouble Of making any
exertiOn to maintain IL. Amongst this
people there is no relationship. 1t never
rains, and so mild is the climate that
houses are never needed or built. The
women are more beautiful than the
angels. They live to be 1000 years old,
and at death are wrapped in cloth maze
from the kalpa tree. This IS tar finer
than the finest silk. Their cOrpses are
carried to the Yugandhara rocks (their
burial place) by birds more powerful
than elephants.
This tree OF the Uturukurians cannot
fail to recall the horn of Amaltbela, given
by Zeus to the daughters of Melisseus,
and which was Immediately filed with
whatever they wished for.

a MEXICAN STEAMSHIP.
The Crew Refuse to Have Their Flag
Hauled Down.

Ero~ ire Neso orleans PicavuHe.
In few days the magnificent Mexican
steamship Esteban de Antunano Will
sail from the port OF New Orleans and
leave behind as interesting story con-
cerning herself as can be imagined. The
many persons who have passed by and
gazed upon the fine specimen of naval
architecture have no idea of the great le-
gal war which mas been going on for some
time about her.
The history is briefly told. The An.
tunanO was built for the COmpania MeXi-
cana de Navigation at Sunderland, Eng,
in 1884. &. Murietta < Co., OF London
Eng. advanced the Mexican company
about $l2j, 900 and W re given a mortgage
which, among other things, stipulated
that IN default OF tue amount being paid
as provided for. Murietta Il Co. would have
the right 10 take possession OF her In any
part Of the world. The time for the first
payment came aud it was not met. Suit
was instituted in the civil District Court
and the vessel seized. A stubborn defense
followed, dur ny which the Jurisdiction OF
the court WAS resisted and the right to
seize denied. Every effort was made 10
secure release of the vessel.
The case was decdeG IN favor OF Mu-
rIetta g. Co. for 1921, 603 81, and the An
tunano ordered sold. On July 81 the YES
sci was sold. Shortly after the sale the
Sheriff released the vessel, which was i'm
mediately seized by the United States
Marshal under admiralty process from
the United States District Court.
The sailors, WHO were allowed TO re-
main on board the vessel for six months
without compensation, instituted a libel
against the vessel. They took care of the
vessel, painted and cleaned it. and in
far asFa nh a th..s.-
turn passage home. Their claims amount

for materials and supplies furnished were
hled, aggreRating the sum Of $1,000.

A interesting occurrence is said to
have taken place last Tuesday evening:

Sixty-two Potatoes from One Hill.

| furnish this statement to the STAN
DARD in order to ascertain whether
or not | have been as successful in
raising potatoes as other farmers of
Warren county. August oath | dug
the above number of potatoes from
one hill, and only sixteen of them
were too small for cooking. The va
riety that produced this yield was
the Peerless. My plan of cultivation
is as follows: l first pillow the ground
deep, then give it good coat ofstable
manure, then harrow well to mix the
manure well into the soil, then cross
out in checks 81 feet apart, and plant
one peice of potato with two or three
eyes on it. | hope other readers OF
the STANDARD will give some infor.
nation on this subject.

Gone to Rest.

Geneva, daughter of G. w. and NJ.
M. Jet, died Aug. 90, 1886, aged s
years, 2 months and 20 days. After
one weeks hard suffering, this patient
little lamb exchanged her life here
for that never ending happiness that
is prepared for those that are Gods
children.
This model little girl will not only
be missed in the family, but in the
Ben Lomond Sunday school, of which
she was a good and faithful little
scholar. While sick she expressed a
desire to get well so thatshe could at
tend her Sunday school, but she was
always patient and never complained
of her condition. The following pas
sage of scripture is suitable to her
case, "Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord"

Holding fast to the teachings of
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and

regards national debt as a national
curse, and declares it crime against
the people to hoard money, raised by
taxation, in the Treasury, rather than
pay it on the matured interest-bear-
ing Indebtedness of the Government.
1t demands that the surplus revenue
now or hereafter in the Treasury,
whether gold or silver, be applied to
the eXtinguishment of the public debt;
