The recent expulsion of Jordan, the offen- sive Republican partisan, from Durham, North Carolina, hasn't proved D very profitable per formanoe, if the reports of the Albany Jour- nal are correct. One of the indirect results of the violent act is the failure of Blackwell the tobacco manufacturer, who involves the Durham bank in his fall. It seems the firm was in financial straits but had secured a call loan of $30, GOO of northern capital and the promise of $35, ,000 more to relieve the dis tress. When the news of the expulsion of Jordan was received the northern capitalist became alarmed and demanded his money, the result being the failure of the manufac- turer and the bank.

Women are going into medical study in earnest in England. At the recent sxamina
 tions at London university ten of the nineteen
 ''passes for honors" were taken by women. In anatomy they took three of the six honors.
 In physiology they secured four out of six.
 In materia medica only did they fall behind,
 and even there they got three of the seven honors. In the face of such 8 record the op- ponents of medical education for women are feeling trifls uncomfortable. Dr. r.Buohansn, speaking at Glasgow university the other day, while still maintaining that the entrance of women into the profession was violation of the laws of political economy, admitted that it was desirable to train them "for Ze- mana practice"

The evils of intoxication in France are
 growing more numerous and conspicuous
 than they once were. Recent government 1e~
 ports show a startling increase in the number
 of crimes and cases of insanity due to alco-
 holism, and now detailed statement by N.
 Laborde of the Academy of Medicine reveals
 the root of the change. According to Nj. La
 borde the manufacture of spurious liquors is conducted on an enormous scale, both in Paris and in provincial towns, and no attempt
 is made to conceal it. A very large propor- l ton of the wines and spirits used are of this l sort. And not only are these liquors great \ in quantity, but their quality is vile almost | beyond description. Besides the familiar In-

Recent scientific investigations into the subject of suicide in foreign countries, more thorough than have been made in this, show quite conclusively that self-destruction is in creasiEg as rapidly in other civilized ceun- tries as in this. In England from 1880 to 1S40 there were 62.S suicides out of every million of population, while in 1876 the pro- portion was 73. In France, in 1897, the sui~ cides were 4s in million. Twenty-Five years later the proportion was 103. Of all the goy- ernments in Europe Saxony leads in the mat ter of suicide. In 1849 the proportion was 149 to million, and in 1877 it had increased to 391. If the result of this investigation can be relied on 1t would certainly appear that there is some injustice in sttributing the increase in suicides in this country to the overwork of mind and body to the extent that has been customary.

THE Denver News most wisely
leaves Dallas and Fort Worth to kick
over the convention preliminaries, as
witness the following sensible utter
ance from that journal:
"The dispute between Dallas and
Fort Worth as to the best location for
a deep harbOr convention ought to be
decided in Texas. Denver can furnish
the conveniences.. for the meeting and
the heartiest of welcomes, but the
location, under existing circumstan-
ces, should be made by others. Fort
Worth has issued a call and fixed a
date. If that point gives satisfaction
to Texas, it will prove eminently so to
the people of Colorado"
This wrangle grows monotonous.
Texas will turn up both Dallas and
Fort Worth in the very near future
and introduce the slipper exercise, if
the boys do not quit their quarreling
and 60 to fighting.

GALVESTON and Dallas are of opin-
ion that the deep water convention
would be more properly held at Den
yer than at Fort Worth. This going
outside of the state to do work for the
state, which could better be done
within the state, does not reflect credit
upon either the capacity, wisdom or
energy of the business circles of the
state.

 A HOOSIER MOSAIC.
BY ED. E. PRITcHARp.

A man~was riding along a road in central Indiana when he was startled by great noise behind him. Turn ing in his saddle, he saw two horse men coming towards him at furious rate. The foremost individual was yelling murder at every breath, and was evidently frightened half out of his wits. As he went by our traveller he cried: "For Gods sake, mister, stop that feller, he's goin' ter murder me-" Thus appealed to, the gentle man stood his horse across the road and throwing up his arms commanded the approaching madman to stop. He did so, checking his horse with suddenness that set the animal back on it's launches. "What does this mean" cried the traveller, "and why do you seek to redden your hands with human blood?"
 "Well, mister" answered the fellow very coolly, "it may have looked to you like murder, but the fact is that feller yander," pointing after the still flying fugitive, "owes me matter of seven dollars for SOW and pigs l sold him last fall, and the alarmed cuss won't pay me. met him up the road here bout mile and told him I'd take it out of his hide. He Flowed I wouldn't and so the fun was only jest begun when you sorter interfered and stopped it."
 "Why don't you sue him?" asked the traveller, "that's the proper thing to do, seems to me-"
 Stranger, reckon you don't know nothin' much about the collection laws ill Ingeanny?"
 "No, confess 1 do not"
 "Well, Pve been here right smart while and never heard tell of case where the fel1er who tried to collect a debt by law ever got red cent. Be- sides, that orncry old scamp is my father-in-law and would rather fight a law suit than to eat when he's hungry. But good day, mister, I reckon I'll overhaul the old gentleman before he gifts 10 Stringtown, and, if do, I'll have them seven dollars or blood"

It is resurrected newspaper relic, the Vicksburg Daily Citizen, issued July 8, 1868, the day before that city surrendered.

 She showed each one of the long row, dwelling upon the particular properties of each, while the child gazed i'll open-eyed wonder at the paie, staring eyes. l was beginning to grow alarmed for the effect all this nonsense might have upon her, when Aunt Blanche took from her pocket a buckeye more dried and shriveled than the others, which she seemed to handle with great care.
 "Dis one, chilluns," said she, ad- dressing us jointly, "is de kin what keeps off witches, speerits an sich like. l done gettered dis while de moon was sclipts, an l ain't never feared no spooks long's keeps dis in my pocket. Iwould a. seed 'em many time hadn' been fer dis buckeye. Anybody hab good luck longes' day dey libs eff dey carry one ob desc in dey pocket"
 Aunt Blanche cautiously allowed the child to take the precious one in her hand. And here she did one of those inexplicable things peculiar to childhood. She raised her hand and threw the buckeye straight into the fire. For few seconds there was no sound save chuckle of delight from Close. Communion, and then Aunt Blanche broke out ill lamentation.
 "Oh, honey, what made yo' ever do dat fo'? It done burn up now, an de bad luck gwine come pourin down. Oh, what yo' ole auntie gwine do?"
 l felt like joining Clo' in her chuckle on seeing the hand of inno- cence and truth thus obliterate an ob- ject of ignorant superstition. and wished that l might thus witness the happy holocaust of all such notions.
 With an air of triumph the child gazed at the fire where the buckeye burned, while Aunt Blanche contin- ued to vail over her loss, and l, find ing nothing in my repertory of conso- lation appropriate to this particu- lar loss, remained silent.
 "Tain't no use to worrit," said Aunt Blanche, resuming her ironing 'Pse done got to get ready to go to dat fun'al. It nos' time now to go."
 "De fun'al done pass back gwine home," said Clo', in lemon-like tones, but with some delight.
 "You black nigger! why dn yo tell me when it gwine on?" cried Aunt Blanche. "Pse got a good mo- ton frow dis iron at you. Now, Ise done miss dat fun'al when l 'spected 'ioy myself an have de nices' kin O time. Oh, I know l gwine a-have some bad luck when dat chile frow dat buckeye in de fire"

Refined Revenge.
Boston Transcript.

A young man and his wife, who have not long been married, were in tending to spend the night at her fathers house in neighboring town and as the e husband could not get away until late in the afternoon, he escorted his wife to the station and put her on board off somewhat earlier train, an accommodation train, as he supposed, just before it started. And it so happened that in the same car, in the next seat to his wife, was young man who is generally believed to have been an unsuccessful suitor for her hand. The train had scarcely left the station before her husband, who, by the way, is of a very jealous disposi- tion, discovered it was an express, making its first stop forty or fifty miles from Boston. After a good deal of telegraphing to one person. and another, including an explanatory dis patch to his mother-in- law, the mor- tified young man had the pleasure of meeting his wife at the proper station two hours late for dinner. She could scarcely have been otherwise than fa- tigued, hungry and irritated; but mark the cleverness of the woman "Tired, bored, worn out? Not in the least. l suppose I must be hungry, but really I had not thought of it. I have had the most charming afternoon. MT. very kindly waited with me at - Junction, and I never appre- ciated before how entertaining he is." This is what call civilized revenge.

The title-"The Lantern Bearers, ,"-is sig nificant of boyish sport, in which the author took part, in Scottish fishing village. His memories of this place form a most picturesque intro- duction for the discussion of an inn portant literary topic in which MT. Stevenson pleads earnestly for Ideal ism9in lite and art.
