Mr.. Lentz, of Cohansey, N. j., created &
sensation last week at Syracuse in conse-
quence OF some supposed a(Tront to his
position as a Christian minister. When as
Bured that he had not been Intentionally
slighted Mr.. Lentz asserted that he had not
been assigned to the craftsmanship of a
single committee, and that he had been in
vited only upon the last day of conference
alto open the proceedings with prayer" A
truly wise person would have borne in mind
the maxim that man should never do any
thing laborious which he could find another
Christian friend TO do for him.

1T is stated that Senator Jones' of Florida
lately of MiChlgan-will be a candidate for re-
election. Jones, finding he has missed fire on
the Detroit heircss, thinks he has u dead sure
thing at home. II will now be the duty Of the
people OF Florida to show him that his yo'un-
tary and inexcusable retirement shall be mad,
permnnent.-NetU orleans States.
The statement that Senator Jones will
seek reelection is probably unfounded.
Mr.. Jones has entirely lost his grip on
Florida. 1t is doubtful II he could get a
single vote in the Legislature. Indeed, there
10 no doubt that he would be unseatsd be-
fore the Senate meets again II his state had
power TO bounce him.

THE rumor about appointing Mr.. Man

treatment Of the strongest member OF Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet. AS the newspapers
are intent upon sending the "second Dan

NATIONAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. wERDE AS
DAMON.
Mr., Frederick Warde appeared last night be.
fore a well-Hlled house as Damon in John Ba-
MINIS play. As 1t is acknowledged on all sides
that Mr.. Warde is q more than worthy sue
cessOr ofJohn Mccullough, we have little TO
say by way OF criticism, except TO add that we
like the actor very much better than the play.
There is no really fine poetic passage through
outthe entire story as told by Banim, There
are many striking situations, notably the scene
in which Damon addresses the senate for the
last time before the tyranny of Dlonyslus Is
established, as also that In which the disguised
tyrant CO-Operates with Calanthe to enticc
Pythias from his allegiance as bondsman for
his friend. But the language, like the actors,
is on huge Etilts, with scarcely a single mo-
ments interval for the expression of human
emotion as distinct from LOFTY but somewhat
wooden sentiments Of patriotism and friend
ship. However, events hurry on rapidly, aud
from the dissolution OF the senate 70 the
fall Of the curtain after the fifth act
the interest is sustained without flaw. Every
one knows the story OF how Damon, having
been sentenced 70 death for his defiant opplsi-
tlOn to the tyrant, prOcurss from Dlonsyils a
respite OF Il lew hours to bid his wife and child
the last farewell, leaving PythaS In durHnce us
security for his return. The scenes represents
ing DRmOn's struggle with his wife and SER
want are powerfully portrayed, but those who
have read SChiller's short poem on the subject,
as translated by Lord LytLOn, will Ind the dis
substitute for the terrible efforts through for.
ests aud over mountains with bleeding feet,
aud the supreme call upon natures resources
In the attempt 10 swim the swollen river, IA
mon arrives as Pythias prepares for death, and
the tOil-stnined straggler bursts upon the stage
in u paroxysm of frenzy and fatigue, The ~
rant DiOnyslus overwhelmed with this evil
dence OF human capacity for friendship
hitherto unlntelligible to his practical aud
| cynical nature, pardOns Damon, and the two
| friends embrace each other. Tho German poet
| represents the tyrant as requesting TO BE- ad.

think, additional weight to the already mlghty

Heated Boxes.

The heating of the boxes of the reaper
or mower frequently occasions vexatious
delay, and occur without any apparent
cause. 1t is noticeable that q box once
heated is more prone to heat again; and
if the box holding the shaft to which
the sickle-drivcr is attached Is ever
thoroughly hcate ], future trouble can be
avoided only by the greatest care. If
the box fits too closely around the shaft,
it is apt to heat. So, too, if it tits too
loosely The shaft must have enough
play, but no more Too much play is
more frequently the cause than too little
play.
Lack of proper oiling will, of course,
cause the boxes to heat. Very few arc
so careless as not to apply oil often
enough; but the oil may be inferior. It
is we'll to buy oil of only q reliab G
dealer, remembering that poor oil NAV
be sold at a low price, but good oil can
not. The rule for oiling u mower or
reaper should be: Little and often"
The boxes in which the sickle-driver
works should be oiled every few mo-
mcnts. If too much oil is applied, not
only is the excess wasted, but dust is
gathered, and this is a frequent cause of
the boxes heating. If a box heats, tho
first thing to do is to remove all dirt, II
there be any in it; and this is the first
measure of prevention as we'll. 1t will
also reduce tie wearing of the parts. If
the ground IS quite dry, the dust will
soon find its way into the box and make
trouble, unless removed. Sometimes
grass and straw will get wound around
the shaft in the box. He who would
never have a hot box must have u sharp
eye and be OF a careful mind.-American
Ayricuiturist.

Tho Yellowstone Geysers.

The geyscrs are the most remarkable
manifestations of this region; but I shall
not give much space to them, says a let
ter to the Boston Herald. Your readers
all know what a geyser is. Its opera
ton can easily be imagined, and the
photographs, which are frequent, gives
an excellent idea of the appearance of
these eruptions. I was prepared for
them, and they created less of wonder
and admiration in my mind than the
coloring, the conformation, and the per-
mancnt agitation in the springs, to which
I have given more attention in this letter.
There is but one of the greater eeysers
that the visitor is sure of seeing in a
limited sojourn-Old Faithful, which
spouts every hour, and is hardly sur
passed in effectiveness by any of the
Others. The others go at longer inter-
tervals-some of several days. One is
pretty sure in two days time to see a
number of minor ones, as did we. We
were fortunate enough to witness an
eruption of the grand geyser also, which
in its breadth and power is magnificent.
The Castle we missed, much to our
regret. If we had included that also, it
would have left little to be desired. The
landlord who lives in front of it told
me-: ''There is just one word to de-
scribe tit is awful. 1t makes a noise
that appalls you, and it shakes the earth
all about; we look for it with hope, but
we are glad when it is over" The era
tiers built up around these geysers are
great curiosities in the form which the
deposits have taken, and it is very inter-
esting to visit them all. One of the
chiefest, the Grand, covers no basin at
all that would be observed; others, like
the Castle and the Grotto, are large and
peculiar. The whole area within view
of the hotel at this upper basin is COW
cred with springs and geysers from which
the effect toward twilight is the best of
all. saw a curious combination of the
practical on this majestic scene as I
strolled through it alone. All at one I
came upon a man and his family wash
ing for the hotel in one of these springs.
He removed the heavy soil from the gar
ments, and then set them to boil in the
spring. 1 took handkerchief from my
pocket and it was cleansed, ironed and
back there in five minutes time. This
man told me q Chinaman had established
himself at another spring some time
since, but he put so much soap in the
water that he created a small geyser, and
John decamped hurriedly, thinking he
was in the internal regions. We tried
the experiment later with a pound of
soap, and it resulted in throwing up the
water with great violence five or six feet.
