EDITORIAL NOTES.

What is so cold as a day in gentle spring ! The following sign appears over 8 store in a Georgia town: Clamps fixed, Tazors
 honed, fresh oysters, Vienna bread, and tombstones."
 The Kentucky legislature has passed 779 | bills in the last ninety-three days, all but thirty of them being of a private or special
 nature. Thus does '1awmakiHg" proceed. The tailors of New York city have decided to abandon the credit system. This decision l will make trouble for great many men who
 have hitherto managed to get good clothes for nothing.
 High license has done 8 good thing for Pittsburg in cutting down the number of sa- looms there about fve-sixtns. Last year l there were between 400 and ,500. This year 223 licenses have been granted, and the work is practically finished.
 A Georgia swindler is advertising in northern papers that any person sending
 him g and a photograph will be given po- eition as teacher in the public schools at a good salary. He has received large num- Der of remittances, but has never secured a position as teacher for anyone, and is not in a position to do so. The Savannah News ex- poses him.
 It is hardly warm enough for snake stories yet, but there are others. For instance, a farmer near Chebause, Illinois, having an OK l that did not obey orders, concluded that the animal was deaf and bought an ear trumpet,
 which worked with great success. The anil
 nal had lost it's appetite, but with its return of hearing ate heartily. The ear trumpet is fastened in place by wires around one of l the horns.
 There are now six hundred and sixty stu dents in Clafin university. orangeburg, South Carolina, an institution for colored people. Nest of them are paying their own | way, and are studious, zealous and ambitions. President Dunton says that ssnnaking due all 1 lowanee for their lack of intelligent home training, we fail to see why they do not
 make equal progress with the average stu
 dents of any other race"
 It is probable that the bill to locate an ST. | ssnal at Columbia, Tennessee, for the repair,
 storage and distribution of ordnance end I ordnance stores will become law. The
 citizens offer to give the land required for the site, which will be at least fifty acres,
 and the appropriation of $200, 900 made by the bill ought to be sufficient for the con
 struction of the buildings and the supply of the necessary machinery. The arsenal at Fort Monroe has been reduced to one-of de- posit only, and the Washington arsenal is set
 apart for the uses of the line. In the South
 there is an arsenal at Augusta, but no other
 east of San Antonio, in Texas.
 The main feature of the latest scheme to
 utilize the water power of Niagara Falls con-
 sists in the construction of tunnel, by which l water is to be taken from some distance uI fl the river towards Lake Erie, carried under
 the town of Niagara and discharged into the
 channel of the river below the falls. It If
 calculated that out of the seven million
 horse power which, it is said, the river car
 supply one hundred and nineteen thousand
 can easily be diverted by the tunnel and
 utilized to drive series of turbine wheels

A Horrld Ernie.

From The Chicago Journal
 It was West Side car, and it was rather fuller than usual as it was crossing Fifsh-avs. between and 5:30 P. m. A young lady oi attractive appearance and smart attire en- tered, cast a look around at the closlely- filled seats, and prepared to stand up during her journey. But the polite man was on hand in the person of young mechanic, who arose and eourteously offered the new oomer his seat. She subsided into 1t with much grace and hauteur. The donor did not lock bit disappointed at not being thanked; he was evidently used to it. He stood hanging on by strap and looking quite cheerful and resigned. But ss he stood there, his rather badly soiled overalla almost touched the dainty skirt of the lady passenger, and she obserced smartly :"Sir, wish you would move a little te one side; you annoy me by standing there"
 This was little too mnch, and the young mans eyes blazed. Madame" he said, calmly, while the other occupants of the oar held their breath to listen. eff you do not like that seat perhaps you'll return it to me. J A single instant and then the young lady arose, blushing furiously, and the young man dropped peacefully into it, signing with con- tentment as he did SO. He had not been there thirty seconds before he snapped out to the young lady, who was now in her turn hanging industriously to the strap: "Ma dame, I wish you would move along a little way; you annoy me by standing there" And as she fled to the doorway the litter that went around seemed to voice the popular yer diet that it served her right.

A Hanasome Meerschauna Pipe.

From the Buffalo Courier
 Perhaps the finest specimen of a nser- sohaum pipe in the United States is owned by James Addington, of East Aurora, this county. It was made as masterpiece from the factory of Franz Hiess, Viennahess, Ger many, and was exhibited in Germany, Eng land and France, and afterward taken to Sidney, Australia. by the manufacturer s agent. It was there sold to large tobacco dealer, who valued it at five hundred dollars, and from whom MT. Addington bought 1t. The pipe is thirteen inches in length from the bowl to the tip of the meuthpiece. The bowl is one and one-half inches high and represents an old stump with the bark par tially fallen of, and from the back of leaves and branches of which are perfect. On the front of the stump is a lizard; at the base of the stump are the most deli- cate leaves and ferns. On the stem, which is about three-quarters of an inch in diam eter and eight inches long, is carved bed of ferns and grass, in. which are standing three perfectly formed horses. The horses are so exquisitely carved that each muscle is visible. The bowl and stem are carved by hand from one piece of meerschaum. At tacbed to the stem is an amber mouth-piece horses head. For this mouth-piece alone MT Addington has been offered seventy dol lars. It is very seldom that such an elegant piece of hand-carving as this pipe is to be seen. It took the workman three years to complete the task, he having tried seven pieces of meerschaum before finding piece ont of which the pipe could be cut.

 Morand and Vacher, Frenchmen, were charged with the murder of Vetard, 8 watch maker at Jcigny, France. Josephine Martin, & girl, persisted that the accused were the men, and that she herself wrote to vetard to appoint a fictitious meeting with former sweetheart in order to lure him to his doom. A feurteen-year-old daughter of Josephine swore she saw the corpse in the room of her
 mother, but the accused denied their guilt. The French authorities adopted what is known as the reconciliation of the crime. " Morand and Vacher were taken to the house. The shutters were closed, candles were lighted, and figure representing the mur. dered man was placed on the bed. Josephine Martin was then introduced with her child and she proceeded to give her account of the crime, even initiating the gestures of the two prisoners. The prisoners denounced Jo- sephine as 8 liar and underwent the terrible ordeal with unmoved features.

oLEomARGARINE.

Ole9nargar1n6 mas been under cIouQ lately, but it is about to rise and shine in yellow beauty and undoubted responsibility. It's rising and shining will be due to the ac- ton of the Massachusetts State Beard of Health, which has been carefully considering the matter. Its report, drawn up by Dr. Elliott G. Bracket of the Harvard Medical college, is all that the most enthusiastic maker, seller or user of oleomargarine could wish.
 In all the investigations of the board thers was found no case in which mclean or un- wholesome substances were used in the man. ufacture of oleomargarinea and no case oi adulteratiou with unwholesome articles, in which the facts were well authenticated, al> though search and inquiry have been con- stantly made. Stories of such as have been brought to notice have not stood the test of investigation. The ingredients are those which find common use in many domestic ways, and in themselves, when of good quality, are wholesome and in no way iniuri ous when taken as food. From these mix ture is made by 8 process of manufacture which is simple, and which would in no way make an unhealthy compound. This pre- duct so nearly resembles butter in appear ance and taste that experienced persons are not able to distinguish them with any de- gree of certainty. Oleomargarine will resist rancidity longer than butter will under the same conditions. In nutritive principles it compares so favorably with butter as to pre- sent difference almost too slight to be esti- mated, except by the chemist. "From the evidence we have of the digestion of the diff ferent fats, it would appear that there is . slight difference, and this in favor of butter. Such results are not conclusive of the actual digestion as accomplished by nature, but all agree in placing butter before oleomarga- rine, and also agree that this preference is slight" The summary concludes with the statement that the popular feeling is merely prejudice, and that it is unfortunate that the name of "adulterated butter" ever came to be attached to oleomargarine, for it is gen. uine article andshould be recognized as such.
 Now those who have long known that good oleonargarine is better than poor butter can have official support for their knowledge. And those who have fought against the en- eroachnents of the ''suet butter'' will fight with less hope. Oleomargsrine is not a frard r.,Iazr in sold for hukfar

 It is not often that one who has been reared in luxury and has enjoyed all the pleasures which life of ease among csl- tured and refined people can give has been willing to forego all these pleasures and swear away his liberty fer five years to be- come private in the regular army at the princely compensation of thirteen dollars a month. When one has tasted of tho fatal cup of notoriety in the shape of short ca reer on the stage the case becomes even more remarkable, and the person making the sac rifce must necessarily become an object of interest. Several days ago there arrived at Jefferson barracks gentleman by birth and education, who has determined to seek repn- tation at the drudgery of barracks life. The gentleman is but private and halls from Buffalc, N. Y. His name is John Dyne Da- wis. He is e son of the late Thaddsus O.. Davis, famous lawyer in admiralty in Buff falo, who was very wealthy before he died. The social position of the family is high one and John was quite @ favorite in society, being faultless dresser, graceful dancer and polished conversationalist. He Han through his share of his fathers estate and then went to work as society editor of the
 
 at the theaters. In a performance of "Lore," given by amateurs, he made quite g hit Gs foppish English officer and became imbued with the fatal craze of the stage He joined Sam1 of Posen company and travelled with it for four weeks. He then went to New York to join Jim the Penman company. Owing to the lateness of the sea- son the contemplated company was not orr ganized and Davis was put off to wait few days, when an engagement was promised him. In the meantime he met sergeant in the United States army, and acting on his advice, enlisted. His brother George is Q West Point graduate and now lieutenant situated in the Northwest. Another brother is a Baltimore clergyman, and third is an interior house decorator in New York city. John has always had a passion for a military life, and would have applied for a place at West Point but for the fact that he was inc ligible to succeed his brother.

the "a ne price he put upon them two
years ago when things were supposed
TO be booming. The sale in itself is a
small matter but there are circumstan-
ces attending 1t that invest ii with an
air OF importance. The purchase was
voluntary and unsolicited; in fact Mr..
Miles knew nothing Of it Until he re-
ceived o letter from the purchaser
assing a price on these two oertsin
lots, an answer was returned naming
the price and the return mail brought
to Mr.. Miles a draft for the amount
and request for a deed. The puf-
chaser evidently knew what and why
be was buying. Another circumstance
that may be indicative is that the two
lots sold are in the block adjoining the
one which Mr.. Miles has offered Il
the Chicago and Northwestern fol
