How Now York Was won Tor Harrison.

In the roar Of triumph which goes up
from the victorious party it will be best
for them not to mistake the meaning of
the result in New York. The out and.
out use OF money added to the influence
OF local causes has made up the Harrison
plurality in this state. To credit it to
opposition to tariff reform among the
people; to trife with the truth when
Connecticut and New Jersey 60 for Cleve-
land, it is folly TO say he lost New York
on account of the tariff. The money of
Pennsylvania monopolists and the treach-
cry Of local factions has lost New York.
Cleveland is the victim, just as Hancock
was in 1880. But the popular vote Of
the country will demonstrate that tariff
reform is ON the path to victory, and the
day is correspondingly not far distant
when the control Of the destinies Of the
nation will not depend upon the corrupt
bargains or the resentments Of local poll
ticians. In New York. it is said. whether
truly or not, that $4,000 was the price
paid for the alleged doctored returns in
Brooklyn A. r. in Baltimore Sun

"Well, it is an outrage that New Castle
was not allowed to stand side by side
with the other counties. II we had not
laid down in 1886 Delaware would have
gone for Harrison. l should think the
men who advised lying then would want
to kick themselves now. If they don't,
know several thousand Wilmington
Republicans who would like to kick
them.

ought to be done in the morning, so as TO

Good Book for Hot Weather.

The supply Of any commodity answers
the demand in quality no less than In
quantity, and the use to which summer
novels are put determines what they shall
be. They are read amid the hurry and
restless idleness of summer leisure, when
the only demand made of an author is
that he shall be entertaining. They are
hurried through or dawdled through or
gone through with in a jerky combination
of both methods, and they are written ac-
cordingly. To make a popular summer
novel, one gets al exciting plot, just now
supply of scenery and conventional senti-
ment. The plot is put in in large pieces,
from which the swift read may go as a
quick runner on uneven ground leaps
from hillock to hillock.
The sentiment is arranged between,
somewhat in the style of beds of moss
between the hammocks upon which the
lame and the lazy pilgrims may lie down
and repose at will. What chinks remain
are filed in with scenery. Not very long
ago the whole was fastened up in a
bundle with q stout cord in the way of q
moral, but this custom has fallen into dis
use; perhaps because we have come too
much under the influence of the French,
who have even their vices put up in
pretty p~erfumed papers, tied with gayly
colored ribbons, SO that we are ashamed
to be found with packages bound with or
binary pack thread. Since the moral
would inevitably be skipped. it is cutie IS
well that it should be omitted. So rluci
paper and ink are saved ct lcast.-..Arlo

If you have no special ''fad" in envel-
opes, why not use the government
stamped envelopes? They are made of pa
per of excellent quality, they are opaque,
and you will never have your correspondent
notified to send a stamp to pay the post
age on your letter, which you know you
stamped, but nevertheless didn't. These
envelopes are made in a clear amber, and
also white, in the first quality, and cost
much less than envelopes sold at a sta
toners. At all large towns you can OBJ
tain them printed to return them either
to your postofice box or to 60, No.
- street" and if you fill out the
request blank you will know whether your
letter was delivered.
If your correspondence is large, it will
be much cheaper for you to have your
name, p~ostoffice box, number, or name of
street and town printed upon your envel-
opes, with n return request. The post
office department does this free, only re-
quiring that 500 envelopes be bought at
one time. l will add one thing, which l
find few people know: If you spoil an
envelope in directing, or by b~lotting it,
you can take it (the whole envelope) to
your postofice and your postmaster will
give you stamps to the value of the stamp
upon it. So there is no loss, as many
think, in using government stamped en-
velopes.-Horace London in The Writer.

The village of Strinesville has n new
brass band. 1t played it's first piece the
other day, considerably going some dis
lance out of the village to do it. That
delicate consideration probably saved the
life of a StrinesviAe small boy, but it killed

play the bull was feeding in its pasture.
which was near the spot chosen by the
band While the band was getting its
collective lip ready to compel n tune from
its horns, h small boy referred to was
taking a short cut through the pasture to
reach the band The bull took note of
the small boys presence, and proceeded
Mt once to hasten his trip across the lot
The band had not seen the procession
moving through the meadow, although
the bull was mouthing his displeasure
Justify as he ran, and the small boy was
lifting up his voice in audible and pene.
trating ones. The bull was within three
jumps of the boy when the band had got
ready to play. The band played. At the
first burst the bull stopped short. threw
up his head and shifted the air. The in

SHE AND l..

They say that the weather Is bad -,h the snow
Lies thick on the ground, that the skies are
gray;
That the world is amounting for summer; 1
know
That the summers noon closes the winters
day;
That out in the city the winds sob and moan,
But what do / care if the worlds all awry,
For with us the sun shines as we sit here alone,
For she is at work-and so am l.
They say that the ~world-that's to say, people
Are treach'rous and false when they seem to be
fair,
And the praise of the mob, when you've striven
to win it,
Is just like an iceberg-it's brilliant-and bare.
That nothing is worth half the trouble we give it.
That tears sound through when we're half mad
with glee,
But ! am content with my life-as l liv- 1t,
For 1 am at work-and so is she
Lies hid in our hearts when we laugh; we'll
perhaps;
We care naught for this, and we don't want to
borrow
The joy of the world-we're content with our
scraps!
And if you would know why I'm gay, notwith-
standing
The chills of the world, and its people-just see
That my darling and 1 have a sweet understand
ing"
When all the world works-and so do we.

Mamma in Burlesaue Costume.

By way of a costume topic, they are tell
ing in theatrical circles that an actress in
a current burlesque placed her little
daughter in a proscenium box at a matt
nee. 1t was a cold day. The actress was
skirtless, of course, and bare as to arms
and shoulders. The child leaned solicit
ously over the box railing, at a time when
she fancied that nobody would notice the
confidential communication, and said:
Poor mamma, amt you cold?"
The front row of dudes overheard the
pertinent question, and laughed so loudly
that the mothers "Hush!" was silenced
to the rest of the audience.-New York

Festival of the "G1utton Mass"


1t is fortunate that some rules in rela-
ton to repletion are no longer observed.
One which was noticed among the Hurons
and Canadian Algonkins by the early
French missionaries, md styled le festin
a manger tout, consisted in the religious
obligation, sometimes attended with loss
of life, of the communicates to eat up
every particle which was set before them.
A festival, somewhat of the same nature,
was called the ''glutton mass, celebrated
in England during, if not after, the reign
of Henry ". A less dangerous, because
regulated, term of repletion was preva-
lent in India, according to a Brahman ira
dition, in which the invites, before COM
mencing the carouse, bound themselves
around the abdomen with a band of
straw; and their modified feat was, not to
eat indefinitely until all had been de-
voured, but only until the straw bands
should burst. There is no survival of
this custom except in the exaggerated
hospitality, generally rustic, in which the
host persists in petitions that the guests
should continue to eat, without reference
to their apparent wishes. Modern ETH
quette shows marked improvement in
never suggesting either selection or guam
titv of provender.-Science.

The Italian government has devised
what may be a useful plan for diminish
ing the number of duels. Dueling in
Italy is allowed under certain conditions,
and it is supposed that many duels are
due to the fear of those challenged that
if they do not fight they will be treated
as towards. In future any italian who
calls a countryman q coward because the
latter will not fight viii be made to pay
