The Jumping Mouse.

This animal in leaping takes course in
zigzags, clearing two or three yards at a
time, springing with its hind feet, but
landing on its four feet at each bound.
Audubon says that it is certainly the most
agile of animals in the entire worlds
fauna. Farmers sometimes pillow it up in
their wheat fields, when it makes off in
magnificent leaps. 1t feeds on grain and
various kinds of seeds, but rarely does
much damage. Strictly nocturnal in
its habits, it may be found hunt
ing either in the woods or the
open cultivated fields. Smaller by all odds
than many of its kin in foreign lands, it is
when captured found to be gentle and
timid little creature, that, with pains and
care, is soon broken to domestication, and
makes an interesting little pet.-Forest and

TRUE to its instincts, and careless of the
shameless confession of insincerity it makes
in the light of its platform of 1884 the
Democratic party, as represented in Con-
gress, signalized the resumption of bust
ness in the House this month by an assault
AL along the line upon the civil service
reform laws The party without blush
antagonized the appropriation item for the
enforcement of civil service laws. The
whole brigade, from Commander Cum
mings to the least Of the privates, took up
arms against the item in support of the
Civil Service Commission. Not one of
these gentlemen so much as breathed a
whisper against civil service reform in
1884 when the party was coquetting with
the one-time Mugwumps, and Democratic
orators were "whooping it up" for Mr..
Cleveland rs the brightest apostle of the
reform. But times change and misfortune
develops the true character. Just now the
day is proving that Republican assertions
in the late campaign relative to Demo-
cratic civil service reform insincerity were
strictly true.

THE San Francisco Alta declares that
Mr.. Greenbaum was not recalled from
Samoa Gin disgrace" but that his recall
was the natural result of an international
agreement arrived at between the United
States, Germany, France and England.
The Alta is wide of the mark, and while it
sustained Consul Greenbaum and held that
he acted wisely in hosting the American
flag above the Samoan colors at request of
the King, it is in error in the statement
quoted President Cleveland, in his mes
sage of 1886, after referring to the act of
Consul Greenbaum as being without au-
thority and a gratuitous assumption of
power, said: "The proceeding was promptly
disavowed and the over-zealous official re-
called" 1t was not until after this re-
moval in disgrace that the special agents.
of the three Governments France was not
included) were deputed to examine into
the situation in the islands. The Alta
very properly rebukes the commercial in
fuences that protested against Green
baum's action, and ragged wildly about
American interests being put in peril by
German naval artillery, but which same
influences are now quite as holly proceed
ing to score Mr.. Bayard.

IT appears that the Democratic boss sys-
tenn of counting election ballots was APP
piled in Nevada county also, and at least
two Republican candidates counted out.
The recount has established this to be the
truth, and the supposed rejected candidates
have been judicially declared entitled to
the offices the election boards gave to
Democrats. 1t is significant fact that in
all these November election frauds the
Democratic candidates were the bene-
ficiaries.

PRESIDENT Harrison will enjoy dis
tinction that has fallen to the lot Of 70
other Chief Magistrate, and will not be en-
loyed by another for hundred years. He
win be called upon to go through with the
chief ceremonial in the reproduction of the
Inauguration of George Washington a
century ago. The REcoRD-UNIoN few
weeks since had full account of the steps
being taken to appropriately observe the
last of our centennial anniversaries. 1t is
gratifying to learn that the response Of the
people to the call of the New York Com
mittee Of Management has been even more
generous and enthusiastic than was ex-
pected. 1t is now positive that the eele-

will be potential in cultivating the patri-

COMMEND us to the Chicago Anarchists
after all for an inconsistent lot. They
have appealed to the Courts of that city
for an injunction to restrain the police au-
thorities from preventing the holding of
Anarchist meetings and parades. Was
there ever grimer humor? The An
archist defes and denounces the law; he
declares that it is tyrannous vioIative of
the rights of natural liberty; destructive
of human freedom; is begotten by the
devil and born of hell, and ought to be
overthrow, and the purpose and chief
aims Of Anarchists are to stab the law +"
and utterly destroy it. That they may
have liberty to do these things, to upset
order and overthrow the orderly methods
of government under law, they appeal to
the very power they oppose and declare to
be worthy of destruction, to protect them
in their design and assault upon it. 1t is
probable that everybody else in all the
broad land sees the righteousness of this
position except the Anarchists themselves.

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity In the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually aseribed to " humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient
It'll the most general of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilia, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequa1ed, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial

POSSIBLE KINDERGARTENs.

The movement to establish kinder
garten school in connection with the Or
phan Asylum in this city has been revived.
1t unfortunately collapsed last year, but
the generosity and impulse of Governor
Waterman's offer to start the ball anew in
sures its success this time. We feel the
more interest in the effort from the fact
that the school will be the first kinder
garten of public character in this city,
though several private ones have been sue
cessfully maintained. II will, we believe,
so win public confidence that the scheme
to found free kindergarten, that has
some time been under way, will be stimu-
lated into realization. The kindergarten
is the true substructure of the common
school course. 1t ought to be officially re-
lated to it. 1t is the school influence of
all others that bends the twig. 1t pro-
ceeds upon the doctrine that the first and
best educational procedure is the train
ing of the perceptive faculties the cultiva-
ton of the powers of observation. 1t
teaches the child the nature of common
things; it reaches and expands the reason
through the fancy and the imagination; i.
leads the little child invitingly and never
pushes it. 1t is the seed that planted in
youth springs up in love of order and har-
mopv. 1t educates as education means, for
it draws out rather than puts into the
mind. Moreover, it addresses all that is
tenderest, sweetest and best in the the ma
ture of the child. 1t has no tasks" for
it makes duty pleasure and knowledge de-
light. 1t puts the child upon inquiry and
makes it self-helpful where under other
systems it is forever pulling back and re-
sisting. 1t is to be hoped that next month
will see the Orphan Free kindergarten
School established, and the next after that
the public free kindergarten, that our peo-
pie may have an opportunity to study the
methods of this system of primary educa-

elimination of the CHASTITY scenes of the
scaffold and all possibility of bungling

WHETHER the Richmond (Va.) Dis
patch intended to be humorous and satiri-
cal; whether it was soothing, or whether it
was in sober earnest will possibly remain
in doubt; but it certainly did the other
day make this remarkable expression
"There is widespread opinion that the
laws of Virginia ought to afford some pro-
lection to colored people who are willing
to vote with u.s." Did the Dispatch mean
by ''us'' the Democratic party with which
it affiliates, or did it mean gin common
with other citizens ?" From the we'll
known political hard-shell of the Dispatch
we must conclude, if it is serious in its
utterance, that it desires the passage
of law that will protect the col
ored people who will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, but afford no protection
TO black Republicans. The context of the
DisDdtcFs leader indicates that it wants a
law that will enable the colored Demo-
cratic voter to cast his ballot in such free
dom from observation that he will not be
exposed to the taunts of his Republican
brethren nor be elected from the society of
his fellows who hold to opposing political
views SO strongly that they carry their
politics into social life. The idea of the
Dispatch is certainly original, and it is not
improbable that such law could be passed
and made to hold water On its face it
would appear impartial, but in its oper-
alton it could be made to work out pre-
cisely the results the bulldozer achieves,
without resort to his brutal methods. For
under a law establishing secret voting
booths, and which is not by any means
unknown, the colored Republican voter
could be influenced" not to avail of it.
Just enough of his kind" might be per-
mitted to enter the booths to do no dam
age to Democratic majorities and yet suf-
ficient to make a showing that would
shield the colored voter who bows to the
will of the dominant influence. 1t is a
very pretty suggestion, and the attempt to
carry it into effect, if the Dispatch is in
sober earnest, will be awaited with interest.

FASHION AND TASTE.
A Woman's Dress Reveals Her Taste,
Refinement and Independence.
From the London Queen.

From the London Queen.
The fashion of buying all things ready
made has been blessing in many ways, but
it has deprived women of the necessity of
thinking out their clothes for themselves,
and as investing them with some degree of
their own personalities
The aesthetic setn were right when they
set their faces against this custom, and de-
clared that every woman's dress should be
an expression of herself; but the mania for
full bodices and skinny skirts. huge hats
and little handkerchief. defeated its object,
for all the maidens and m&trons of the ESQ
teric coterie we're arrayed in the same ia ,h-
ion, so that while the individuality of their
set was asserted theoretically by their at
tire, their own personal entity was more
utterly disguised thereby than it would
have been by the most French and elaborate
of ready made costumes.
A woman who has the instinct Of dress
shows it when she buys gown 'off a peg"
just as much as when she plans and ar
ranges every detail of her costume after
her own fancy.
That frock is pretty or quaint or fash
ionable is no reason that she should pur-
chase it; her test of it lis, docs it look like
meP' and though she may sometimes take
new departure, some new freak of fashion,
which is unlike anything she has worn, but
that yet approves itself to her as likely to
suit her, she has the wit to know whether it
will really mold itself to her, and utterly
scorns the idea of being a dummy for the
display of Mr.. Worth's last creation.
