A Letter by Anne Boleyn.

A letter written by Anne Boleyn,
about three and half centuries ago,
has just been published. 1t was on
the occasion of her first visit to Lon
don, and the writer describes, among
other things, the unfavorable effects
produced in her case by the late hours
and designations Of the capital in the
early part of the reign of Henry VIII.
She writes: 1--WE rise SO late in the
morning-seldom before six o'clock
and sit up SO late at night-being.
scarcely in bed before ten-that l am
quite sick of it. The irregular life
which / have led since / came to this
place has quite destroyed my appe-
tite." She then proceeds to mention a
little detail which illustrates the ideas
of the Lady Anne Boleyn and her con-
temporaries as to what was normal
appetite in healthy Englishwoman at
that period. 'sYou know" she writes
to her correspondent, Il could manage
one pound of bacon and a tankard of
good ale for my breakfast in the coun-
try, but in London find it difficult to
get through half that quantity"

A Victory for Corruption.

ut was notable victory for tariff
reform in Connecticut, says the New
Haven NeWs, against the splendid.
organization of the Republican party
and it's tremendous and harmonious
efforts. against the power of money,
the free trade scares, the intimidation,
and the appeals of prejudice, and in
the face of Democratic disorganization,
early apathy, and lack of harmony, tar
if reform won. The surprise is, not
that it won by a small plurality, but
that it won at all. The reform club
and the people did it" Suppose that
we accept as correct the statement that
the Democratic position on the tariff
question beat the party in the election
what does it prove? Simply that q
combination of favored interests has
proved itself too strong for the people
who are not in the combination. 1t Is
the triumph of political trust. VIC

that pooled their issues, to win the
fight. 1t is unreasonable to believe
that a success thus won can long De

THE MAGNETIC POLE.
How It Shifts It's Position from East Il
West and from West to East.

How It Shifts It's Position from East to
West and from West to East.
When the magnetic needle is brought
within the influence of an electric cur
| ent, it always shows a tendency to
i put itself exactly at right angles to
| that current. Reasoning from this
phenomenon we infer that what causes
the needle to point always northward
when it is not disturbed by a local cur
rent, is the circumstance that currents
of electricity are ali the time flowing
about the earth from east to west.
The magnetic pole stands related to
these currents as the geographical pole
does to the parallels of latitude.
But the magnetic north, or pole,
does not correspond with that of the
earth. 1t is, therefore. probable that
the lines of direction of earth electric
currents are not parallel with the
equator, as are the parallels of lati-
tude. This pole was found by Ross.
in 1880, to be in lat. 20 deg. min. II
sec. N. and long. 96 deg. 46 min. As
sec. w.
The magnetic pole is constantly
shifting it's position from east to west
and from west to east again, within
certain limits, probably on or near the
same parallel OF latitude, though it is
not fully known that the pole does not
have north and south as well as an
east and west motion.
In 1868 it was directly north of Paris.
1t then moved westwardly till about
1919, when it turned back toward the
east. In this direction it is still NOV
ing. 1t is calculated that the eastern
limit will be reached about A. d. 2140.
There are SO many points OF agree
ment between the distribution of ter
restrial magnetism and heat that many
persons think the two may be connect
ed, the one as cause, the other as eff
feet. The magnetic pole has been in
the region of greatest mean cold ever
since any thing has been known of
electricity, and the temperature of
high latitudes. It remains to be seen
whether or not the place of EXTREMIST
cold is moving eastward with the
magnetic pole.
It is reasonable inference from
what is known, that no auroras are
produced in ATTITUDES much higher than
the magnetic pole. II such is the case,
the spectator between north latitude
80 deg. and the pole would see these
displays to the south OF him. Youths

mands made upon himr ~ a ~
teemed exchange with great force
says: When President Cleveland
| shall 60 out Of office In March next
| he viii leave behind him record that
| will establish his reputation as .
patriot with an eye single to the pub
lie interest, and as a statesman Of UNI
daunted courage and of marked ca
pacity in the mastery OF public af-
fairs. y Following this it goes on and
mentions some of the things that are to
his credit.
Under his lead much has been done
to restore to the Government the vast
grants of public lands to railroad cor
porations, in fraud of their owners
the people of the United States.
He has put check to vicious PEN
sion legislation in the interest of agents
and undeserving claimants.
He has given the country safe and
prudent management of its finances.
He has broken up the naval ring
that kept the country supplied with
hulks, and has given US respectable
naval establishment instead, for which
we have paid no more than our mon
ey's worth.
His administration has been free
from any form of tolerated or COW
ered-up dishonesty, speculation or
fraud.
He has boldly sought to relieve the
country from overtaxation by propos-
ing such remission as would give the
greatest relief to taxpayers and the
greatest assistance to depressed indus
tries.
He has acted steadily upon his noble
motto that public Office is a public
trust;" and that is the inscription
which must be put upon the grave
stone of his administration.
He might have obtained the political
and personal favor of powerful cor
porations by neglecting the rights of
settlers upon the public domain; he
might have courted immediate popu-
larity by winking at the pension raids
on the Treasury; he might have need
lessly emptied the surplus money of
the people into the pockets of bond
holders; he might have perpetuated
the system of the Robesons aud the
Reaches in naval expenditure; he
might have put rascals into Office on
political solicitation, and kept them in
Office for political advantage; and he
might have listened to the voice of ex-
pediency and followed the lead of
those snug and safe counselors in his
own party who straddle the tariff
question, and who are ..for protec-
ton % in one spot and '.for revenue" in
another.
But President Cleveland has not
done any of these things. He has
been true to his pledges. He has the
courage of his convictions. lie gave
the country all the Civil-Service re-
form he could compass and all the
tariff reform within his power; and he
has paid the penalty. But his works
do follow him; and his party will
inevitably return to power, in vindi-
cation of the principles in defense of
which he has laid down his great
Office at the feet of the people who
gave it to him.-Bufalo On ~

The Democratic veterans ought
long ago to have left the Grand Army
of the Republic. The Republican press
rarely. if ever, recognizes that large
part of the Union army was Demo-
cratic, and every thing achieved by
Democratic soldiers had been credited
to the Republican party. The Grand
Army of the Republic is now merely
Republican machine, and is of no ben

believes it is manipulated in the inter-
