REPUBLICANISM IN VIRGINIA.

REPUBLICANISM IN VIRGINIA,
 One of the most complicated problems, after the disposition of Premier Blaine, that General Harrison will have to solve after he has been inaugurated president is the distribution of federal patronage ill the Old Dominion. The republicans of Virginia are loaded for bear, and poor Harrison will find Malone almost as tough nut to crack as the magnetic man from Maine.
 Mahone's enemies in the party-and | they are thick as leaves in Vallombrosa are determined that the great repudi-
 ator must be laid on the shelf They
 propose to appeal directly to Genero.. | Harrison himself on the ground that putting Malone in a permanent position | must inevitably disrupt the party in
 Virginia. The most rabid of them hold | that nothing short of his entire repudiation by the administration can save the party, and that any attempt to eXalt him will be the death knell of re: publican hopes in Virginia. Others, how ever, are less violent in their bitterness against Malone, and while they hate him none the less they are willing to trust to General Harrison's discretion in disposing of the obnoxious statesman They claim that it will be fatal to place Malone in the field because his offensive personality will focus all clements of hostility to him against the republican .1r-tx- l if- .tnS, l4Eo They are willing to suggest, as a com promise, that some old time republican, who is not closely identified with either the Malone or Wise factions, be the favored one with the administration. The Mahone men, on the other hand, are no less determined that their leader shall be recognized by the powers at Washington and if they are disappointed, or any of the Wise faction should be singled out for recognition, there will be some lively music in the air. Malone is no chicken when it comes to looking after his own interests, and General Harrison will find that out if he is not already alive to the fact.
 Republicanism is not indigenous to the soil of Virginia, and it is very doubt ful if the Kilkenny cat character of its troubled existence in the state is con- ducive to its long CT profitable continu- ance. The everlasting squRbbling of the leaders, which will be a thousand times worse now that the spells of office will be an additional bone of contention, is not very pleasant spectacle for the country General Harrison will find 1t no easy matter to stop this squabbling,
 or to fill the capacious maws that are
 hungry from four years fast from office.
 In making peace in the happy family l President Cleveland and the democratic
 party can wish him a real jolly good 1 time.

The French copper gamblers have on hand an enormous surplus stock, esti- mated at 135, ,000 tons above the needs of the market They control the entire supply of the world and can mark the price up or down at will. This is shown by the fact that the price of copper, which a year and a half ago when the surplus was only 45,000 pounds was but 9a cents pound, is now I'll cents a pound in the New York market. The Anaconda mines in Montana and the Calumet and Hecla in Michigan, though copper in New York for seven cents a pound, are under contract to deliver their entire product to the French syn dicate, which also controls the supply of the Rio Tinto in Spain. The product of Chili, which amounts to about 35, ,000 tons year, is also held by the syndicate, so that it practically controls the entire supply of copper. The total amount of money used by the syndicate to carry on it's enormous deal amounts to nearly S90. .O00, ,000.
 It becomes an interesting question, in view of the power of this ring to dimin- ish the amount of copper used and so indirectly to fix the demand for labor in copper is an element, whether this monster corner can be broken. Itwould seem not, for the syndicate holds over the mining companies a club of their own making. In the first place, the contracts with the companies were made at figures far above the market prices, and the companies were glad to go into the deal. They have been turning out all the copper they could to swell their profits, and have succeeded in piling up an immense surplus. Should they per sist, however, in continuing this inn mense production against the wishes of the syndicate, the latter will dump it's immense surplus, which it is esti- mated will by the 1st of May reach 150, ,000 tons, on the market and force down the price to such a figure where the mines will have to close or the companies operating them be bankrupt ed. With this possibility of ruin sus- pended like a sword of Damocles above their heads the mining companies may be expected to prove tractable when the syndicate gives the word to stop produc- ton.
 In the meantime the workmen whose daily support depends on the demand for labor expended on products into which copper enters may console them selves as best they can with James G. Blaine's assurance that trusts are privats affairs with which the government has no right to interfere. Perhaps the cor ner in copper may explain, partially at least, the present dullness of manufactur. ing in Waterbury. It will not, however increase respect for political party that is systematically opposed to any legisla- tion directed against them.
 The time is fast coming when trusts and parties fostering them must go.

SPOOKS AND SPECTERS.
Anecdotes Which Explain the Cause OF
Their Departure.

Men now living can remember when
every town in New England had sew
eral haunted houses and a score of
ghosts. But some night the ghosts
went away never to return. Perhaps
these anecdotes. taken from the Ills
tory OF Weare, n. H." may explain tho
cause of their departure.
One night John Hodgdon, a strong
nerved, clear-headed man, was riding
home on horseback from Hillsborough.
The night was dark and windy. and as
Hodgdon came near his farm. he looked
over into ;Acornfeld, and saw, standing
upon knoll, something that for mo-
ment made his flesh crawl. 1t stood
still for moment, then it disappeared,
with weird sound, and again returned
to the knoll. The farmer soon recov-
cred from his foolish fright, dismOunt-
ed, climbed over the fence, and walked
to the knoll. He found that his men
had left a large basket in the field,
which the wind blew up from small
hollow upon the knoll; then when there
was IA lull it would roll back.
An old shanty in the town was
troubled with ghosts. Rappings were
heard in an unfinished room over the
family living-room. A strong-minded
woman. Mary Peaslee, visited the
shanty to hear the ghostly rappings.
Shortly after her arrival, she heard.
overhead, bump, bump, bump, then
rap, rap, rap. She placed a ladder and
wentup into the unfinished room, where
she found an old hen. whose feet and
legs had been frozen. 1t could not walk
without falling. and the falls made the
humping noise. The raps were caused
by its picking up something to eat.
That ghost was laid by carrying the
hen to the room below.
Inanother haunted house there were
queer noises and strange objects were
seen fitting by the window. After sew
eral DAYS, these wonders ceased, and
then some one ventured into the unin-
habited house. He found a dead cat.
left alive by the former occupant. The
cries and the efforts OF this cat to get
out had suggested a ghost.-fouth's

Even Love Must be Sacrificed.

On the elegantly upholstered sofa in
the parlor of Sir Reginald MuldOon sat
his only daughter, Vivian. clasped
close to the Sunday vest of Adelbert de
Ribbon. The shades of evening had
long since ceased falling and all was
dark and still save for the ticking OF
Vivian's Waterbury watch. Suddenly
Adelbert, throwing himself upon mis-
knees at the feet OF the imise-iou=
queen OF the 'Steenth ward, exclaimed,
in an ace high but piteOus voice:
Darling Vivian. think how / ;ove
you and promise that you viii be nins!
l will make any sacrifice to win you
for my wife,"
"Will you buy baseball season
ticket and take me to every gamer
inquired the girl.
20. that is TOO much! Any thing but
that" noaned the youth.
Then away with your Numbered
the noble girl. Although / love you
dearly. l can never be yours"
With groan OF unutterl5le anguish
Adelbert rushed from the house, and
the next day the daughter of Sir Regi-
maid was married to the ticket taker a!
the polo grounds.-JIdge.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHERS.
Tho Trials and Emoluments of We
Profitable Business.

Tho Trials and Emoluments OF Very
Profitable Business.
There are $1,000 Photographic estab-
lishments in the United States at the
present day. They furnish employ
ment to about forty thousand people.
When it is remembered that fifty years
ago there was not n camera in the
world it will be seen how rapid the
growth has been.
Photographers are frequently puzzled
to find means of disposing of the many
toilet articles which ladies leave be-
hind them in the dressing-roOm. Paints,
powder, false hair and chamois skin do
not retail at a very profitable price
secondhand. A Philadelphia photog-
rapher has established a connter where
he sells these articles as u sort OF an
mex to his regular business. The
goods" are fixed up, put into new
boxes, and sell nearly as well as when
new. OF course the ladies never return
to claim the property.
Photography on small scale and
with amateur equipments, is now a
favorite pastime with Englishmen of
leisure. Even the peers have taken up
the craze and carry their cameras with
them to the race-track5, cricket
matches, and rowing regattas
where in fact where a pretty picture
may be caught. The spectacle of n
member of parliament on a crowded
race ground planting his tripod and
aiming it at some famous horse or
noted jockey must be rather strange,
but according to an eastern correspond
emit it is not a rare one.
Almost every photographers studio
of any importance in the country has,
at one time and another. been visited
by some notable people, and there are
not a few in the business who can tell
very amusing stories about the whims
of greatness when it sits for its picture.
Politicians and members of the legisla-
ture arc not. as a general thing, hard
to please. as they are almost all 80
used to the proceedings that they grow
cdTelcoS dDO4b ~, Ddb t-SsOho, AuAnAoeCLo,
literary people. and artists are in bad
favor with the knights of the camera
One of the most troublesome features
of the photographers profession is the
business he gets from people who want
their pictures to look great deal pref
tier than they do. They want the
wrinkles taken out, the warts removed,
the nose Strengthened, and the cheeks
made plump and smooth It was one
of this class who tried to get out Of
paying New York photographer be-
cause a wart which he had requested
should be removed was taken out of
the picture. For some within or other
he wos not suited with the hkenesses
and so refused them for the very thing
which he had requested. The threas
of suit brought him to terms.-Ci-

a Yankee Doctors Wit.

1t is told that while the late Emperor
Frederick was in London for the
Queens jubilee, Sir Morell Mackenzie
introduced noted American doctor to
him. After a careful examination Of
his throat. the imperial patient. in his
usual cheerful manner, inquired: Il
suppose an imperial throat is very
much like that of other mortals?"
s'Well, SIR" came the quick reply, ''we
will try and make it so. at any rate. )"
The then Crown Prince thoroughly ap-
preciated the quick Yankee wit, and.
striking his broad chest, said: But
this is all right, is it not?" The Yam
kee gravely looked the splendid pro-
portions of the illustrious patient up
and down, and then deliberately drawled
out: las for the rest. sir. you would
make good American" FritE's mer-
riment was great, but the German doc
tors present were aghast at such levity.

hatch. and during the summer the
Larvae feed upon the wooden fabric or

fall they go into the pupa state, from
which they emerge as moths in due
time. Some very particular house
