A Cheese Romance.

Some two years ago young man,
now a student of our high school was
stirring curds in an Asford cheese fac
tory. Knowing that the products of
the factory went directly to Europe,
and fe cling a curiosity to know under
what skies his beautiful cheeses were
cut, and who the consumers were, he
corked up in a dainty bottle a message
requesting the finder to write him at
Ashford and put the bottle into the
curds, which were pressed, cured and in
due time sent to Liverpool.
Weeks passed and no return. The
tender grass in the pastures grew why
and tough, the nippiug frosts had
Drowned the fields, and the milk yield
was sadly waning, when one day in
October an answer came. How it glad
dened the heart of the long waiting ar
fist in curds and sonnets The message
came from York, England 1t was
written by young lady of that place,
who found the bottle in the cheese, and
at first took it for a Fenian bomb. A
regular correspondence followed be-
tween the parties. Later on the lady
"crossed the seas to make an American
tour, and she met in Buffalo, according
to appointment, for the first time in her
life the hero of the cheese episode. The
lady went to Springvillc with her
friend, and is now his guest. The
question which agitates the town now
is, what will come of it, Buffalo Elk

little doubtful until the waiting girls
began to litter. Mr.. Thurman, being
under the eye of the Atchison man, had
no doubts whatever. Then Mr.. STAINS
bury rose and congratulated the bride.
"You're lucky woman" he said.
"Well, I'm not quite so sure" said
she.
Mr.. Thurman said nothing. He busted
himself with preparations for the jour
ney to Atwood. All the townspeople
came in to peep at the married couple.
Mr.. Sransbury's selection of the pictures
was very much applauded.

A Miniature Egg Within an Egg

A few days ago one Of the girls at the
lunatlc asylum removed two eggs from
dish which she proposed to use in maxi
ing cake. As they were shop eggs
she thought it well to drop tho contents
singly into a cup that their purity
might be assured. Taking up one, the
first one, she broke the shell with a
knife and allowed the contents to fall
into a cup On reaching the bottom Of
the cup there was a distinct, audible
click, whercupon she examined the egg,
and found embedded in the yolk solid
substance resembling white stone the
size Of a robins egg.
1t was taken out Of tho mass and
found to be a perfectly formed minia-
turo hens egg. The only other peculiar
feature besides the size was roughness
of the shell. There arc upon the sur
face several modular protuberances,
differing considerably in size and.
form. This appears an incrodi-
bic story, and at least suggests
some fallacy. About the existence d
the little egg all doubt can be easily
removed, because it is preserved and
will show for itself; aud in regard to
the possibility Of it getting into the cup
and the yolk Of egg from without this
could not hardly have happened under
the circumstances

The Origin Of q Sign.

The three balls of the pawnbroker are
the most persistent Of the signs of trade.
1t, however, was not descriptive Of any
branch Of that business, but merely
happened to be the coat-of-arms Of the
princely family Of money lenders who
monopolized the business in Lombardy,
and whose subjects introduced it into
England. This was the historic family
Of Mcdici Their crest Of the three
golden balls, it is supposed was derived
from three golden pills used as a pro-
fessional sign By some progenitor Of the
family who practiccd the healing art
However that may be, no one now who
lends money would consider his shop
properly equipped without that sign.--

The Resurrection PLANT.

This singular plant is really one Of
the wonders Of creation Imagine a
bunch of withercd looking, cprled up
shoots, brown, stiff, and apparently
dead, resembling a birds nest. Place
it in water, in half an hoar what q
transformation The withcred looking
bunch has now opened and is trans
formed into q lovely patch Of moss, en-
tirely covering an Ordinary plate. Ia
its native habitat, when the dry season
sets in, the plant curis up into a round
ball and is waited away by winds from
place TO place, sometimes for hundreds
Of miles; when at last it reaches a moist
spot it gradually unfolds itself, makes
new roots and thrives in its new found
home. This sensiliyeness TO moisture
IL so great that even after the plant
may seem dead it will open and close as
if it were alive.

SHE TOOK HIM.

Lloyd stansbury, landlord of the
Union hotel at Galesburg, H., smelt a
rat, and when so sensitive nostriI as
Lloyd Stansbury's was offended all
Galesburg knew that the rat must exist,
says the Chicago Tribune correspondent.
Mr.. Stansbury first smelt 1t when his
omnibus came rumbling in from the sta
ton last Thursday morning. He smelt
it when dark-haired lady, not unpre-
possessing, stepped from the omnibus
and demanded room.
"What do you take her to be-" asked
Lloyd Stansbury of his colored driver.
Dunno" replied that veteran, who
had long since ceased to trouble himself
about his passengers.
"What do you say to her being a cir

Mr.. STAINS bury could draw no con-
lectures from the colorcd driver; and,
having assigned a room to the passen-
ger, he cooked his hat more awry than
-Susual and, seating himself by the stove,
fell into gloomy rumination. ''What's
the matter with Lloyd?" asked the
frequenters Of the place. There was
something in Mr.. Stansbury's air which
forbade closer inquiry.
It was late Tuesday evening when a
sandy haired and somewhat limp indi-
xidual, who had a trick of drum
ming with his fingers on his chin. en-
tered the hotel and wrote his name on
the register as ''Alau Thurman, At
wood, Kan" He looked nervousgy over
the other names in the register, and,
saying 'I---I---in short, a lady will be
here tonight or tomorrow morning."
beat devils tattoo upon his chin and
retreated to his room. There were peo-
pie in the place who remembered him.
He used to be a farmer about twelve
miles from here said Mr. Stansbury,
''aud he is related to Senator Thurman.
Next morning a gentleman connected
with the Atchisoa, Topeka and Santa

'EARLS OF THOUGHT.

Pride costs more than hunger. thirst

An Indiana OUTLAW.

"Bilp Gregory, the greatest outlaw
Indiana ever produced, was recently ar
rested for robbery at Terre Haute, but is
now free again, as there was not sufficient
evidence to convict him. Gregory has a
remarkable career. For fifteen years he
has been the leader in hundreds Of bur
glaries perpetratcd in the Hoosicr state,
but has served only one short term in
prison. Twenty three Of his accom-
plices are now serving terms in various
prisons throughout the country. There
is hardly crime known to man which
Gregory has not committed. He has
been perseyering train robber, sneak
thief, housebreaker. kidnapper and
various other things equally bad.

Memory Haunted.

Memory Haunted.
am haunted, daily haunted,
By the memory of face
Wearing smiles that robbed the sunshine
OF its most bewitching grace
By a voice that thrills me strangely,
And the glow of sunny eyes
That had caught the CLEAN of brooklets
And the bliss of summer skies;
1t may be subtle fancy,
1t may be fitful dream
Like as flash the running ripples
On some sunlit, shining stream,
Yes, somewhere l sure have seen it,
This mysterious mimic face,
And the image, still I dream it,
Vision of seraphic grace.
] am haunted, nightly haunted,
By a memory so sweet,
OF the touch of hands like lilies,
- And the tread of fairy feet
By those eyes, brown and respondent,
By that wealth Of nut brown hair,
By that look so pure and sanity,
And that sweet, unconscious air;
Tt hath stirred me with such pain
That my aching heart hath bled,
And | seem to hear again
Voices of the lover, long dead.
Little hands, your work is over
Fairy feet, your toll is done
Sweet, bright life, your mission ende
With its morning just begun.
] am haunted, weirdly haunted,
By the dripping of the rain,
Waking mournful, dirge-like music
And requiem it's refrain
am haunted by the rustling
Of the leaves about my door,
And a ceaseless low-voiced murmur,
''She's a saint on heavens shore!"
STILL her face is ever near me,
Let me wander where Twill,
And her brown hair floats around me,
And her brown eyes haunt me still
Now her form is winging nearer,
And it seems some sanity shrine
Shining brighter, beaming clearer,
With its seraph face divine.

THE seedsmen Of the UniIed


THE seedsmen Of the United
States are somewhat indignant,
since ii has developed that By the
new postal treaty between this ccun-
try and canada, the Canadians can
send seeds through the mails to any
part Of the United States At four
cents = pound, while the rate to
American seedsmen is sixteen cents
q pound. There is evidently dis
elimination In this arrangement,
and it is against the wrong parties,
it occurs to as. If anybody should
be given the advantage in case of
this kind, q sense Of common JUS
tice would suggest that the Ameri-
can and not the foreigner ought to
be the favored one. A difference
of twelve cents = pound will soon
transfer much of the seed business
across the border into Canada, as
that difference in the cost Of many
seeds is greater than the first cost.
1t is the buyer, not the seller, who
has to pay the postage, and the
buyer will 20 where he can get what
he wants cheapest. An effort is
being made to induce Congress to
pass bill to reduce the domestic
postage on seeds to four cents a
ponnd, and thus place American
seedsmen on an equal footing with
the Canadians; the Senate has al
ready passed the bill, and in all
probability the House will also pass
it.

Or HUMBLE ORIGIN.-The Dem
ocratic party can ask nothing bet
ter than a general adoption by Re-
publicans of the tactics in favor
with Ingalls,, DollIver, Foraker and
other orators of the opposition.
When these men sheer at the hum
bic origin of Grover Cleveland they
cast reproach upon the chief glory
of American citizenship. Had his
beginnings been much more obscure
than they wore there would have
been nothing in the fact on which
to base the contemptuous filings now
so popular in some circles. The
American roll of honor is a long
one, but it contains the names of
few men who at birth were not poor
and apparently not in the line OF
fame or greatness.
AS matter Of fact, however,
Grover Cleveland was respectfully
born. lie was reared IN an honest,
industrious and intelligent Ameri-
can family. He came on to man
hood as hundreds Of thousands of
Americans have done, and went
about his life work decently and
quietly. When called to public
place he discharged his duties with
fidelity, and nothing in his career
is more creditnble to himself and to
tho American system than the fact
that his promotion was so rapid as
to. excite the wrath Of lifelong pos
tulants for place and pelf.
Grover Cleveland has never been
Investigated by Congress. John
James Ingalls, cannot say as much.

SECRECY In PUBLIC Abrams.

SECRECY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRs.-
We fully agree in the sentiment ex-
pressed by the Hagerstown Globe
which says In public matters. and
especially those involving thsexpen-
ditures of the peoples money by
officials for important, novel or
costly improvements, secrecy should
be avoided.
Under the most excusable condi-
tions. secrecy upon the part of pub
lie officials is repugnant to the PEG
pie. It makes them suspicious and
IS q constant source Of dissatisfac-
ton.
Secrecy is right and proper with
an individual who lays out his own
money, whether wise or unwise in
its expenditure; but it is not so with
public officials, who represent u
community of contributors, each
one having . monied or direct inter-
est therein. Such contributors
have q right at all times to know
and to fully understand when, how.
and where public officials propose to
expend their money, and particular
" when some new or unusual ex-
penditure is contemplated.

Four Men Killed BY Powder Explosion.

WILKESBARRE. PA, February 10.-At
10 O'Clock this morning severe shock
was felt in this city. Shortly afterward
it was learned that a violent explosion
had occurred at Dupont's powder works
at Wapwolopen, twenty miles from here,
Their names as given are, Peter Kish
baugh, George Stout, John Hoffman and
B. Betz. The explosion took place in the
packing house, where several tons of
the accident is not known as yet.
The force of the shock was distinctly
felt here. Windows in all buildings
ratified and the officials at the court
house here thought there was an earth
quake, as the big building shook vio-
lently. At Nanticoke and Wannamee
chimneys toppled from the roofs of build
ings. The children ran in terror from
the school house and women flocked
towards the mines, where they thought
an explosion had occurred. AtWapawall-
opon nearly every building was dam
aged or wrecked. Besides the killed over
forty persons were injured, fourteen of
whom it is said viii die. The four men
killed We're blown to pieces, and only
found. The cause of the accident is not
known, as all those who were in the
building are dead.
