The news editorially has the follow
ing to say of the above discussion:
1t is sometimes difficult for an un-
prejudiced mind to decide which party
gals the advantage in joint political
discussion. AS to that Which took
place here OH Monday between Gilmor $.
Kendall, Esq, and his Republican com
petitor, the Hon. Bayley Browne, there
have not been two opinions expressed
so far as we have been able to learn. A
Republican official of the county at the
conclusion of the discussion approached
the Democratic candidate, shook him by
the hand and said, "you got away with
our man badly" and such WIS the
opinion of everybody, regardless Of
party. The First Congressional Dis,
trict is Democratic, ard should it be
carried again by Bayley Browne for the
Republicans, it would be a burning
shame. With SUI erb Presidential
ticket. Il fearless candidate and an able
debater in the person of Gilmor S. KEN
dali, and a platform so broad and liberal
sml just that al men may stalM thereon

ColOred Leather.

Modern leather manufacturers, says
the Shoe and Leather Reporter, are
surpas sing the ancients in the diversity
and beauty of the colors they are intro
ducing. Many of the shades produced
in upper leather are highly attractive.
The Thebans were thought to have at
tanned great proficiency in this art, but
the variety. of colors they are
credited with was meager compared
with the iridescent display of our epoch.
Remnants of leather found in Theban
tombs reveal the use of acacia and other
trees in the tanning process. The Jews,
after the exodus, probably put into
practice the knowledge obtained of this
art Under the Pharaohs, in preparing
rams skins died red for the service of
the Tabernacle.
The love of eolors is as old as the human
race. The art of dyeing leather, so long
practiced on the Mediterranean, was at
terward attained with difficulty by other
European countries. But we need no
longer to go to Egypt or the Mediter-
ranean for instruction concerning it.

A Royal Mountain Climber.

The Queen of Italy spent the last
fortnight OF August at Courmayeur,
which is a favorite resort of Her Males
ty. During her stay she distinguished
herself as an Alpine tourist, making
five considerable ascents within ten
days. Accompanied by two of her la
dies and a chamberlain, with servants
anG guides, Queen Margaret first as
cended Mont CramOnt, which is over
5000 feet high, and next day went up
the Combal as far as the lake,
which is at a height of nearly $3.50
feet. Two days later she made
the ascent of Mont SAKE, fatiguing
climb of eight hours; and next day as
cended Mont Chetif, $500 feet high.
The most serious expedition was the as
cent of Mont Geant, which rises to over
il 900 feet. The first 1000 feet were ac-
cOmpiished in magnificent weather;
then q storm arose, which speedily
passed into hurricane of snow. The
visitors at Courmayeur watched with
painful anxiety the movements of the
little caravan, all tied with ropes, as
they became hidden from view by the
whlrlwind of snow. 1t was a great re-
lief when two mortar shots announced
their safe arrival at the Pavilion Cretes.
Here the Queen passed the night in a
miserable little room; she determined
next morning to proceed in spite of the
weather, and reached the summit. She
arrived back at Courmayeur by 6 in the
evening, amid the jubilation of the little
community. ~ N9a

Kiss the Pretty Baby.
From Time.

For the benefit of those who are at a
loss to know just what to say on seeing
a new baby for the first time, and who
naturally feel that they must say some
thing, we give the following list Of ex-
pressions, any and all of which are COM
monty used, there being no patent or
copyright on them.
Whether you shall offer to kiss the
infant depends on its age and appear
ance, and the extent to which you are
willing to sacrifice yourself in order to
please the baDy's mamma. The baby
itself doesn't care picayune for your
feelings or your kisses, out you are ex-
pected to say:
What cunning little thing!
Bright-eyed little chap, isn't he
Why, how large he is !
[ don't think [ ever saw so young a
child look around so.
How much does it weigh?
What lovely silky hair
Looks ever so much like you
What a rosebuddy Of mouth
Do let me see his toes
How very wise it seems!
really believe the little thing under
stands every word we say
Oh, what splendid big boy he isl
On, what a dandy little girl she Is.
= Any of the above will please the or
binary mamma. 1t is at your own risk
that you speak the truth and say
= Ugh What horrid, red, wrinkled
little thing it is
1t simply doesn't look like ANYTHING
Oh, what big, fat, ugly thing
[ wouldn't touch it for all the world
Ugh! suppose | must kiss it, but
hate to

The farmers supplies
Old England shall pay if they come

Some Rich Young Men.

From the New York Graphic.
BILLY" Wall, elder brother of Berry,
has an income of $4,000, and lives at
the Rossmore Hotel, writes a CORE
spondent of the New Orleans Picayune.
Much of the time is passed in the hotel
cafe, and his friends say that never a
day passes when the barkeeperdo not
take 800 from him. He is credited with
losing $4,000 every season on the race
track. One Of his weaknesses is theater
parties. He does not go beyond his in
come, but his pockets are uniformly
empty when the LIST Of January comes
around.
There is crack tennis player and
promising amateur named Valentine g.
Hall. He has just graduated from
Columbia College, and is going to be a
lawyer. While an undergraduate he
spent S., 900 wear on outdoor sports.
Shirley Onderdonk, the millionaire
contractors son, is allowed $S,000a year.
He is an Adonis of twenty-one and a
great ladies' man, like many of his fei~
low students at Yale. He is also fond
of driving his tandem team. He has a
81 200 valet who used to be with an En-
glish earl, now bankrupt He once
laughingly said that it cost him $4,000 a
year to be one of the boys. 81 800 for So
y,
and ST 200 for valet. >e&~
A youth of twenty. noted for his ex-
IRENE paleness among the habitues of
the Hoffman House cafe, is Frank Alb
bolt, Jr. His father allows him S. 600 a
year. He dresses with excellent taste
and is blessed with figure that can be
fitted to set off the goods. He is gentle
manly in all his tastes-one of your
quiet men about town, spending freely,
but without ostentation, and effecting
in the same way the ultra fashionable
summer resorts.
). Cannon Harriott, who tried for
years to rival Berry Wall as dude, has
an allowance of $18,O00.s He is a first
nighter at the theaters and goes to all
the balls. He reckons Oh an expense
of $75 when he takes lady to a ball.
Most literally does he order wine at
Delmonico's. Twice a year he goes
abroad to look up the styles. His
clothes are made at Poole's. He has a
regulation English valet of exalted an
tecedents. In summer he goes to Sara
toga, and every pleasant afternoon
drives tandem team attached to an
English dogcart, with some stylish girl
beside him and his funky behind
Howard Osborne, who has such a
positive penchant for running away
with actresses, has a large income, and
is always heels over head in debt. He
belongs emphatically to the spend
thrift order. There are judgments of
$500, Sl1,S7S and 1855 recorded
against him. He was heard of at Mon
AGO early this year, and was under
stood to have yacht there. That was
after the conclusion of his little affair
with Fay Templeton. Fay probably
stuck to him as long as his money held
out

Curious Minerals of Utah.
From the Scientific American.


Included in the mineral resources of
Utah, apart from its precious metals,
are deposits of alum, some recently dis
covered veins of which are eighteen
inches thick and several hundred feet
In length, of dazzling whfteness and
great, purity. Beds of inter are also
found sufficiently pure to readily fuse
when thrown on hot Goals.
Ozokerite or natural mineral wax, a
rarity elsewhere, is here found in large
quantities. 1t is air, acid, and water
proof, and can be used for imparting
these qualities to other substances. AS
an lnsulator it is said to be perfect, and
would doubtless be found superior in
sulating material for electrical APP
planes. 1t could also be adapted as
the base Of a cheap yet desirable paving
material and for indurating piles and
posts to prevent decay.
A somewhat similar discovery is gill
sonlte, found, ON analysis, to contain
about 80 per cent. of carbon or asphalt
in pure form.
Of the Latter a vein has been discov-
cred three feet wide and over a mile in
leDgthTa supply that, if work ed, would
be found almost mex haustible
AS is now well-known, the Great Salt
Lake is an immense, limitless magazine
of salt, that can be readily obtained in
any desired quantity by the simple proc
ess Of evaporation.
From this lake vast quantities of sui
phate of soda are also secured, blown
on shore at certain temperatures by the
winds, where hundreds of tons are
often piled up in single night, that can
be utilized In the cheap production of sal
soda and carbonate of soda.

The Size of the Spiders Thread.

I have often compared the size of the
thread spun by full,groWn spiders with
a hair of my beard. For this purpose I
placed the thickest part of the hair be-
fore the microscope, and from
the most accurate judgment | could
form, more than hundred Of such
threads placed side by side could not
equal the diameter OF one such hair.
LII, then, we suppose such hair to be OF
the threads spun by the full-grown spi-
der, when taken together, will not be
equal in substance to the size of a single
hair.
