The,Respect Of Els Fellow-Men.

There is occasion for reflection in the kind
interest that is shown in General 81 arrison by
the throngs of his fellow-citizens who daily
visit him. Ever since his nomination his
home has been the destination of one delega-
ton after another of admirers who call to paw
their respects and wish him success. It
IS estimated that he has shaken hands
with more than fifty thousand people since
he was nominated four weeks ago, and
yet he is to-day as he was a month ago,
simply plain private citizen. The mere Gu
riosity seeker visits the White House SO he
can say he has seen the President But the
thousands who are visiting Gen. Harrison
are friends not curiosity seekers, for SO far as
official rank is concerned. he is on the same
plane with his visitors. But this great out
pouring of neighbors and friends IS a testi-
mony to General Harrison that he possesses
in an unlimited degree, the respect and conf
dence OF his fellow-men, and as a candidate
for the highest Office in the land they want
he should know it. That is good deal to
say of aman. It can only be said of a gentle
man. 1t can only be said of q man whose
private life is pure and spotless It can only
be said OF a man whose public life is free from
dishonor or reproach. It can only be said of
man whose daily walk and conversation
are so clean and wholesome that those who
know him best can say s.there is a good true
man.. So far we have not heard of any
throngs of people foeking to Washington to
congratulate Mr. Cleveland on his renomina-.
ton and wish him success.

Wonderful Bridges.

The bridges over the Tay and the
Forth in Scotland have attracted
much attentionas engineering works,
the first named viaduct being no table
as the largest bridge in the world; it
is only one link in the line of northern
travel. Thesecond, or Fourth bridge,
from North to South Queenstown,
and which is scarcely less important,
will have the distinction of being
made of steel throughout it's entire
length of more than 5 900 feet, and,
when completed according to the vast
and admirable design Gifts projectors,
will be one of the greatest marvels Of
engineering construction which Eu-
rope can show. The island OF In
chgaryie, in the middle Of the arm Of
the sea which it crosses, enables the
bridge to be in four spans, only two
of which are over water; these two.
principal spans are each of about
/, 100 feet, and the height above the
sea of each of them is 200 feet, all Of
the most massive masonry.

The schooner Paul Boynton,
which arrived from Georges banks
with fish, brought to this port a
most remarkable fish, which as yet
nobody has been able to name. Old
fishermen of a quarter of a century's
experience in this and southern mar
kets, shake their heads and say they
never saw anything like it before.
This stranger was caught in deep
Water-on a halibut traWl and was a
puzzle to all on board the vessel that
captured it. The fish weighs It's
pounds and is about as large as the
top of a hogshead, being almost as
broad as it is long. When caught it.
was a bright red color and maculated
with beautiful silver spots that
varied in sizes from about the dimen-
sions ola 5 cent piece to a silver dol
lar. After being out Of water some
time it turned, except the fins, to a
purple color, the silver maculations
remaining unchanged. The head,
also, is Of a peculiar shape, and the
fms seem small in proportion
to the size of the body. A fin is sit
uated just back of the gills and well
up on either side of the body and an
other is located underneath. The
tail is short and broad. Tt is evi-
IDENTIFY a deep sea fish and certainly
OF brilliant and handsome colors.
None of the fish dealers on CONNER
cial wharf or any of the captains or
members of the crews of the fishing
schooners that have seen the fish are
able to tell to what species tbelongs.

A Daring Aeronaut.

who daily risks her life at the Crystal
palace, London, ascends some mile
and a half into the air $4,000 meters
is her own estimate), hanging to the
balloon by her teeth, which are I'M
usually strong. An iron bar is at
tached to a trapeze suspended from
the car, to one end of which an india
rubber mouthpiece or ball of that
substance has been fitted. Miss Dare
puts her mouth over this, closes her
teeth, and is carried up by the bal
loon, supported by her teeth alone,
to height at which she is invisible
from below. There she signals to
two experienced assistants in the car,
who lower ladder by which she as
sends-being, Of course, trained to
all acrobate feats- through trap
door into the basket, Esthen the bas-
ket is divided into two compartments
by a shawl, and behind this partition
/ change my ballooning costume,
which OF necessity is very light, into
an ordinary walking dress, so as to
be able to go home without neon
venience when we descend" Miss
Dare declares that she suffers no in
convenience beyond a surging in her
ears, which lasts for some time after
she has descended, and that through
long exercise her teeth and jaws have
become exceptionally strong and
trained to bear the excessive fatigue
which, it is plain, must fall to their
share; but it is obvious, neverth eless,
that her life must be in the most ex-
IRENE peril. She does not like the
balloon, she says, but it is her means
Of existence, and she must live. San

James Clement Ambrose, in Good House
keeping.
1fever yonr wife's honeymoon de-
votion to you turns cheerless, like the
old OF the moon, don't return to your
honeymoon treatment of her; don't
rush home from business at the first
possible moment with a basket Of
choice fruit, and meet her with a kiss
and a caress; don't compliment her
taste in dress, the neatness of the sit
ting-room, nor the appetizing air she
has breathed in the dining-room.
Put away these boyish habits, and
command her devotion by bringing
home on your face the cloud ofaday's
business; be late about it, too. Then
try to find some new fault in
her, and don't let her forget one Of
the old set. Taboo her virtues, and
praise other women's. Call her
you" and if she's hard at work
from 6 A. NJ. to lOP. NJ, growl be-
cause she hires the washing done;
and, if she dare ask for money, insist
on knowing what she did with the
twenty -five cents you "gave" her las t
week And then If she dosen't prove
familiar with the points and pedigree
OF your party's candidate for Con-
gress, laugh at her and tell her how
stupid it would be to let such disin-
terested creatures vote!
Don't count sixteen hours a day for
you and the children anything, but
wonder why she doesn't read the
daily papers and the reviews and
take an interest in politics, art,
music, science, history, and the ''labor'
question. Let her split the kindlings,
build the fire, tend the teething baby,
and broil the steak; then, when she
can get you up to breakfast, you sit
down sour and grumble till she cries,
finding the steak either Overcome or
under-done, if you have to kill truth
for it.
If all this devotion on your part
fails to Irvine her arms about your
neck, find a lot of fault with her
to the children; and, turning your back
to her in the evening, perorate your eff
forts for that day with a glowing eulogy
on the beauty, taste, culture, and
housekeeping OF Smiths wife.
Now, husband, what further excuse
can you have for a chilling time at
your Wn freside?

Ages of Senators and Represent
atiVeS.

Ages of Senators and Represent
atives. I
The Washingt oncorresp ondentofthe
New York Herald makes a comparison
OF the ages of senator's and represent
atlves, as follows:
The men whose influence is most
strongly felt in the senate are those
whose ages are including within the
limits OF fifty and sixty years. There
are but five men in the senate whose
ages have reached seventy and upward.
These are in eachcase men of large ex-
periencein public life, but their places
have been usurped by younger men
and they cut little or no figure in the
debates, however effective they may
be I'D committee work. The five refer
red to are Salisbury of Delaware,
Dawes Of Massachusetts, PAYNE of
Ohio, Morrill, of Vermont and SAWYER
Of Wisconsin; Messrs. Payne and Nor
rill have achreached their seventy sew
enth year. They are the oldest men
IN either branch of congress. 1t is diff.
feult to tell whether the men Of fifty
do better and harder work than their
confreres of sixty. The list is very
evenly divided. Among those who be-
long to the latter class are Brown,
VOORHEES,, Beck, Hoar, Conger, Van
Wyck, Eyarts, Sherman, Maxey, Nor
gan and Pugh. Those who are still in
their ffties are Teller, Cullom, Harri-
son, Allison, Wilson, Ingalls,. Frye,
Vest, Cameron, and Edmunds. The
few men in the body under fiift5v are re-
ally less prominent than the limited
number Of those who have reached the
age of three score and ten.
In the house the men OF forty or if
ty take the lead, although a few in the
sixties, like Cox of New York, Reagan
ofTexas, Morrison, Holman and Judge
Kelly OF Pennsylvania, whose age is
recorded as seventy-three, still retain
their mental and physical activities
quite as we'll as their younger asso ciats.
Excepting these, the bright, pushing
representatives are those from forty
five to fifty eight. The list Of these is
very long and includes Messrs. Spring
er, Randall, Herbert, Oates, Blount,
Hammond, Townsend, Carlisle, Pay
son, Reed, Butterworth, Phelps, Bur-
rows, Mckinley, Tucker, Boyle and
Cultivate. The youngest member OF
the house is Mr.. La Toilette OF Wis
consin, whose age the directory gives
at thirty-one The next youngest are
Ward and McAdoo, who are thirty
three each. Messrs- Belmont and Nc
Rae are thirty five each and Mr.. Stahl-
necker OF New York is thirty eight.

Wife Selling in Pennsylvania

Wife Selling, in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia Times.
John Wayrich. OF Nanticoke, Penn
sylvania, sold his wife and six child
rem for ninety dollars. Wayrich was
once a poor miner, but good invest
ments in real estate made him rich.
He drifted into politics, drank heavily
and became poor again. Then his wife
took boarders for a living, and Way
rich reformed and the future seemed
full OF promise. The sale OF Mrs.
Wayrich and the children, was very
unexpected to the neighbours The
purchaser was Philip Mauer, board
er. At first Wayrich wanted 5000
$50 for the wife and S25 each for the
six children. Mauer declined this Of
fer, on the ground that four of the
children were unmarketable, that is,
they were to young to work, and in
consequence could not bring in any
revenue. A compromise was then
agreed upon, which was to the effect
that in consideration Of Mauer buy
ing the whole family, he was to have
the lot for 500 $50 for the wife and
$50 apiece for two boys, aged eleven
and twelve years, now at work in the
mines earning So a week. Wayrichs
has taken his departure. A party Of
neighbors threatened to tar and
feather Mauer but Mrs. Wayrich APP
pealed to them not to do so, as she
was satisfied with the bargain, and
she was sure Mauer would make q
better husband than the man who
sold her.

as to the protective tariff. 1t is much bigger

the right of congress to lay a tax for pro-
