Converts to Cleveland.


NEW YORK, Oct. ia de-
,,atck to the Evening Post Says
u. Morse, Jr., & leading lawyer OF
Boston, has come out for Cleve
and and tariff reform. He was
ureSiding officer of the Republican,
state Convention in 1854, which,
.enominated Governor Robinson.
he then made long speech dc
claring himself in favor OF tariff
revision, and saying that only Re
pnblicans could be trusted to re.
wise the tariff. He also opposed
Cleveland's election on civil ser
vice grounds. He examined at
length the charges against Blaine,
and argued that they were not
proved. He said he was opposed
to an Independent party, but be
lieved in independent voting. He
criticised especially Colonel Cod
man for his position in the Mug
wump movement. so his tteclara
ton for Cleveland today shows the
practical results of the Democratic
Administration. His change wi
doubtless have y marked effect III
bringing ont men for Cleveland
The Republicans seem to be un-
fortunate in their presiding officers.
Colonel Goldman, who presided at
the anti-Butler State Convention
of 1883, was Mugwulup the next
year, and now Morse who followed
him. has also abandoned the Re.
publicanS. Iu an interview Mr..
Morse says:
I take the step with great reluc-
,ance. [ have always acted with
the Republican party, and it is
hard to break up old associations,
but the party has proved falae to
its record OH the tariff question,
and l cannot conscientiously act
with it longer. I have felt for
some time th.tI must take this
step, and this seems to be theprop
er tins. When see men like Mr.
Long and Mr.. Lodge eating their
own words in order to keep III line
with the party l feel that tho time
has come to let the 1,arty so. /
have not changed my views. 1t is
the Republican, party which has
change |; therefore shall vote for
President Cleveland.
Mr.. II. r. pierson. Chancellor of
the Board OF Regents of this State
a life long Republican and d mem
Der of the National Republican
Convention which nominated Gar
held, has announced his intention
TO vote for Cleveland and Thur
man. III Il letter to the Albany
Reform Club on the position today
of the Republican party me says:
At every national convention
since 1866 down to 1884 know
that at all times it has declared in
favor Of = revision OF the tariff, re-
ducing taxation and the needs OF
Government with incidental pro
lection. Today it f;svors direct
and not incidental, protection, o!
high as opposed to low taxes. re
this l am opposed, and have been
always. We are IL people Of pro

trade and commerce, for national
health and wealth, and for comfort

and the poor poorer.

White Lies.

Everybody tells lies. In fact to
keep the good will of humanity one
must. Women as entertainers have
to tell more than men. Men some
times criticise women for doing this
one thing, but / guess their conceit
would be quickly taken down if wo-
men always acted as they felt, and
men would be the first to abolish
truthfulness. There are certain socie-
ty forms which are meaningless when
you come right down to bottom facts,
but are said as a matter of form and
politeness. For instance a lady usu-
ally expresses pleasure at receiving a
call, from one whom she wishes that
blessed minute was engulfed in the
Red sea, or performs a favor with
pleasure" when she had rather bite
shingle nails than do it, and twill be
happy to call' when she had Just as
soon expect the world to come to an
end the next minute as that she will
do it. A lie, moral philosophy used
to say, when ! was a student, was in
the intent to deceive. No one takes
any stock in these expressions so real
ly and truly, as the intent is not to
deceive, but be polite, it is not a lie.
There, l declare my head is quite
tired with so much reasoning, but
having heard some severe criticism
of society white lies from some of the
masculine ranks, felt called upon tc
rise and defend us from the accuse.

A Story in a Word.

Sincerity is one of the most beauti-
full words in the English language;
and, like many other words, it has a
history. 1t comes from two latin
words, sine and sera, without &C.
ment and its origin is in this wise:
In the golden days of Roman pros
perity, when her merchants were
very affiuent and dwelt in marble
palaces on the banks of the river III
Der, there wasa natural sort of emu
lation in the grandeur and artistic
adornments of the dwellings. Their
successful wars had made many of the
gems of Grecian art the possession of
the Roman people. A taste for
sculpture had been awakened and the
sons of Rome set themselves to work
in the school Of design. Good sculp-
tures.were quickly drawn up. But
lodges sometimes take place then as
now. For instance, if the sculptor
came upon a flaw in the marble or if
his chizel missed its aim, he had a
carefully constructed cement with
which he filled in the chinck, and so
cleverly fixed it as to be impercept-
ible. In time, however, and after
the purchase had long been complet-
ed, heat or damp or accident would
reveal its presence there. The conse-
quence was that, when new contracts
came to be signed for commissioned
work ofart, there was a clause put in
that they were to be sine cera, or
without cement. What a picture
story in a word! What a moral
meaning in it, namely, that true
characters should be sincere, or with.
outcement! aHll

Zulu Courtship.

woman" for April.
Whena young Zulu gains his "gum
ring" (Which is ring worn upon the
crown of the head, and is obtained by
performing some deed ofvalor, or by
special gift Of the king, and which
stamps him man as distinguished
from ''boy"), his first duty is to get
married, or if he has not the necessa-
'ry cows to purchase wife, he must
raid some enemies kraal and steal
them. When he has chosen the lady,
he makes his intentions known to her
family, and they commence opera
tions praising him when she is pres
ent, as he never was praised before
and never will be again--until he
wants another wife. The girl, after
some coquetry, consents to see him,
and he, washing and oiling himself,
dons his lightest, finest dancing dress,
and sending messenger to announce
his coming, presents himself with
shield and assegai to the family, who
will be squatting in a circle near the
house of the lady. He squats amongst
them, and presently the lady of his
dreams appears, attended by two or
three female friends about her own
age. Nf.' .''.! ~
laShe looks him over for some time,
and finally requests him through her
brother (tnot being etiquette tospealI

and round, displaying his proper

ments from the girl friends of the
fiance elect; she keeping a discreet
silence, awards him permission to
squat again, and retires. The family
rush to hear her decision, but she is
not inclined to be hasty or seem to be
easily won. 81 have not seem him
walk-he may limp" she says, and
so the poor fellow has to come again
next morning, when he will probably
be accepted. nn
The idea that the Zulu or Kaffir girl
has no voice in the matter Of choos-
ing husband is a mistaken one, and
although powerful moral reasons may
/ be brought to bear, no conscientious
Zulu would dream Of raising his hand
to beat woman or girl into submis-

"DEVlL'S Lake,"
Why the Name of This Beautiful Sheet of
Water Should Be Changed.

why the Name OF THIS Beautiful Sheet Oh
..s Water Should Be Changed.
There is rather a peculiar history
connected with the origin of the name,
Devils = Lake" 'Minne Wakan"
was the Indian name for this lake.
Mime signifies water and "wak-
kan" means spirit, hence the transla-
ton into English is spirit lake. "
After an electric storm, the most beau
tiful mirages, as wonderful as any of
those on the Sahara Desert are seen
over the region of this lake. The pref
ty landscapes and scenery surround
ing the lake are reproduced with vivid
effect in the air, but the trees and
other parts of the landscape are in
verified. With the constant changing
of the relative positions of the clouds
and sun over the water, there follows
shifting panorama of the aerial
scenes floating above, and it is
at times really an awe-inspiring
exhibition of the mysterious
phenomena of nature. The Indians
could not solve this problem, and to
their untutored minds the strange
scenes were the manifestations of
spirits. Therefore they called the
body of water the Spirit Lake"
Years afterward the whites began to
visit this lake, and when they would
attempt to drink the water the In
dams would say, in their own Ian
guage, "Minne Waken seehe," the
translation of which is, Spirit Lake
is bad water to drink" The salt in
the water prevented it from being
used for drinking. The whites mis-
interpreted the Indian phrase and
thought it signifed bad spirit or
devil in the lake." which made the
water unfit for drinking. The whites
are so much given to such names as
Helrs Half Acre and Helps Gate that
they Immediately called this water
the Devils Lake" The Indian
anne is more musical and mellifuops
by far, and it should be the estab-
lished geographical name of the lake.

Notwithstanding the convenience
of those dangerous little articles,
friction matches, which are in almost
everybody's hands, but which with
all their charms bid fair to prove a
heavy curse to the community, we
learn that there is one man in Salem,
a respectable tradesman, who keeps
a store where we should generally
expect to find such things, but who
has never sold them, nor allowed
them to be used on his premises. At
his house and shop, he sticks to the
old-fashioned flint, steel and finder.
He shows his wisdom in so doing.
How many more can say as much?"

BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the lcarbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of ,innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal, Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, .eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

Many young girl shuts herself
out from society because her face is

used.

source in Impure Blood, medicine
which restores that fluid from de-
