to doubt the motives of Mr.. Mills.

TIE republican press is working very
hard to convince the people they are all
protected by the high tariff. Their hard
work has hardly begun yet. The trouble

ployers for the past ten years has opened
the eyes of working men to consider

deal of work to shut them again.

Years ago, when Thomas A. Edison was
a telegraph operator in the office of the
old Franklin Company, ON Wall street,
! New York, he was continually getting
| himself into trouble by perpotratiug
electrical pranhs on his brother operators.
The instruments in those days were plac-
cd on shelf-llke desks ranged along the
walls of the operating room, and EdIsOu's
place was IN a corner OF the room. Hero
he conoocted all his schemes for making
life miserable 20 every one and everything
about him.
The Office seemed the rcude2ous for all
the coCkrOachts in the lower part of the
city aud Edison hat on a novel plan to
exterminate them one by one. He rig
ged up wire along the wall and then
catchIhg one OF the insects put it to
death III the short and paruloss fashion
approved Lv Commodore Gerry. One by
one the ins .cts were "spRrklcd out" of
existence until finally Edison became
known to the Franklin boys "a Cock
roach Tom"
In the cloak room was a large tank
generally filed with ico water. beside
which hung tin dipper on nail in tho
wall. Edison connected this nail with
wire at the other end of which were 100
cells of Fuller battery, strong enough TO
make one think he had been struck by
the paddle wheel of a Fall River steamer.
Tho future "Wizard of Menlo" then
placed sign below the dipper request
ing all to "please return this dipper"
His request was needed. The dipper
was never taken down, but there were
dozen or more wrenched arms i'll tho
Office in less than an hour.

discussing the omlnOus news as it came
IN from time to time over the telephone,
or cautioninE their men how TO bear
themselves when they stood face to face
with the MOB, and under fire. "Do not
shout or talk when the work begins;
leave that to your officers; only lister for
orders; keep we'll closed up; leave the
wounded, if any there are, to the ambu-
lance corps: see nothing but the mob;
hear nothing but your own officers; and,
no matter what comes, never, over turn
your backs on r mob; remember that
noise does not hurt: keep cool; and, when
you fire, aim low; one disciplined regi-
ment can break the heaviest mob that

CHICAGO burns its garbage in a big
oremetory, instead of dumping it or
burying it, and the result is a great gain
in the health of the city. Disease germs
no lopger find chance for vigorous
growth in the heaps of decayipg refuse,
and ther, is freedom from offensive
odors. The cost of maintaining the
crematory is considerable, and would
prove a drawback in smaller cities. The
first cost Of the Chicago furnace, which
was built only few months ago, was
$1,000. During the month of May 1867
tons of refuse were nsumed at a cost of
S517, and il June 267S tons were consum.
ed at a cost of $500. Prominent physi-
clans of Chicago advocate the establish
nent of three other garbage crematories
in the north, south and southwest parts
of the city.

The scheme of tunneling under the
English channel, in spite of being
Knocked in the head year after year by
the British parliament, is sure to be car
ried out in time. So at least thinks Leon
Say, president of the French submarine
tunnel railway company, who regrets the
Eaglish lack of sympathy with the plan,
and declares that Lords Derby and Bea-
consfeli approved of submarine com
municstion between England and France.
NJ. Say speaks confidently of the fnan-
oial success of the proiec'. Heavy as
well as light goods could be carried and
ot gauge between the English and French
railways. NJ. Say comes of family of
public'sts and men OF affairs, so that his
opinion that England should seek closer
relations with France is worth noting. He
points out that in q few years England is
very likely to be involved in difficulties
that Russia and Germany, if they come
to terms, can make England's continued
occupation OF Egypt impossible. The
invasion scare in England is lightly treat
ed by N. Say, and he speaks sligntingiy
of the ability of the English generals.
To show the enormous cost of the under
taking, it may be mentioned thst $500, coo
has already been spent in preliminary
work on the tunnel. NJ. Say sums up the
whole state of the English position on
the channel and many other matters by
saying, The English are given to de-
pending TOO much on ready-msie opin-
ion."

JUDGE o. n. DENNY, formerly our con-

wiser to the government of Corea, 'the

Corea is now connected with Japan by
cable, and its natural resources, which are
abundant, are beginning to be developed.
The Shah of Persla's first railroad is

track to his capital, he had all the ma
terial carried by mules across the desert
to Teheran. The whole cost so far has
been half a million dollars, of which near
Iy half was for transpOrtations.

TIE brutality with which newly mar

couple of sporting usbers discovered the
train on which the bridal pair were to
leave town and what baggage they had.
driving swiftly to the station they con
fided their plan to this baggage master,
and with his counigance they affixed to
each handle of the trunks OF the bride
and groom an enormous bow of white
satin ribbon. If the groom did not bias

deposited in the hall of the hotel to which
he went, he may take rank with Job for
