Life Among The Tarascana.

"one thing at a time" is the principle
of life among the Tarascans. Perhaps
it is carried to exaggeration, but it
produces wonderful results If on Sum
day morning you saunter down the road
leading up from the lake to Patzcuaro you
will meet thousands of the Tarascans COM
ing to market with their wares and pro-
ducts to sell. Each Tarascan, or family of
Tarascans, viii have a stock of one thing.

INCIPIENT TOBACCO BLINDNESS. - A
New York oculist says: The greatest en-
envy to the eyes of young men is the cigar
cite. Recently disease has appeared
among smokers which is dangerous, and,
after careful investigation, the best author
tiles, who for long time were at loss to
understand the peculiar malady, have
traced it to the small paper-covered to-
bacco sticks. 1t is now known as the Ell
garette eye and can be cured only by long
treatment. Its symptoms are dimness and
film-like gathering over the eye, which
appears and disappears at intervals"

CATTLE BRANDNG.--At a recent law
suit in Texas thirteen expert cattle brand

:" in the dark OF the moon" the brand
will never get larger than the first impress

grow. But if the branding-iron is APP
piled in the light of the NOON the scar
will spread, and the lighter the moon the

The Warm Weather the Cause-Dr.
Simion's Pretty Toast.
BERLIN, May 27.--The Emperor passed
fair night. He remained in bed until noon.
Owing to the chilly weather ne did not go
into the park to-day.
The Emperor appeared at tho window
several times this evening. He complains
of feeling of lassitude, which the physi-
clans attribute to the warm weather.
The Crown Prince and Empross to-day
inspected the launch Alexandra, which is
lying close to the Schloss in readiness to
convey the Emperor to Pottsdam.
The Empress has postponed her visit to
the scene Of the Vistula floods until after
the arrival of the imperial party at Potts
dam.
DR.. Simion, who presided at a meeting
of the Goethe Society of Wiemar, in pro-
posing a toast TO the health of the Emperor,
said: "It is idle TO believe in the infallibility
Of doctors, German or English. Many he
roes have been great in action; others have
been great In endurance The Emperor is
equally great in both. We hope and desire
that years equal to the number Of drops in
our glasses may be added to his life.

has slightly increased. The Emperor will

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The Past Week Favorable in the
South Atlantic States

South Atlantic States
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The weather crop
bulletin, for the week ended Saturday,
says: 1.-THE weather for the week has been
generally favorable in the States Of the
Mississippi Valley, resulting in general i'm
provement of the crop conditions Local
storms have caused some damage in
Arkansas and Louisiana, rendering it neces-
sary to replant cotton in some sections.
The deficiency of rainfall in Mississippi is
reported as having unfavorably affected
crops in that section. The continued rains
during the past week have retarded farm
work in the Middle Atlantic States,
but the conditions of wheat, rye. oats and
grass have been improved. Slight injury
IS reported from frost in New Jersey, Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan. In the South At
lantic States the weather during the week
has affected crops favorably, except in
some sections of South Carolina, where the
cool, wet weather was untavorable to cot
ton. Reports from New England indicate
that the season is about two weeks late and
that the temperature and rainfall for the
week are below the average"

The President Declines to State His
Preference On the Subject.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Although the
meeting of the Democratic National Con-
vention is only a week off, and the nominee
for President and the platform
already determined, there seems
to be no agreement as to who
shall be nominated for Vice President The
triangular contest between Messrs. Nor
rison, Black and Stevenson in Illinois seems
likely to prevent any one of them from be-
ing nominated. Ex-senator Gray seems
handicapped by the local fight in Indiana.
Judge Thurman is out of the question, even
if he could be induced to accept Demo-
cratic politicians, especially in the House of
Representatives, are therefore talking
good deal about the advisability of putting
Speaker Carlisle on the ticket with Presi-
dent Cleveland.
CARLISLE DON'T WANT 1T.
Mr.. Carlisle, it is we'll known, does not
want the nomination, but it is agreed that
he could not decline. He has every qualif-
cation, is TIE foremost man in Congress,
and right on every political question. The
only possible objection to him is that he
comes from kentucky. This is regarded
as comparatively unimportant. The only
serious objection to his nomination is that
he is sorely needed just where he is. He is
the steersman, as well as the captain, of the
Democratic party in the House. Attempts
are being constantly made now to get the
President to express u preference in this re-
gard, but they all fail. There is reason to
believe, however, that the assertion now
frequently made in conversation by intelli-
gent and well-informed Democrats that the
President would not be pleased to have any
official of his administration nominated
with him is correct,

DAKOTA.
AT II ARGO.

FARGO, Oak. Abril 1.-The election
for mayor and aldermen under the new
charter as interpreted has at last been
held, and it is many moons since Fargo
has been so completely worked up over
its election of city officers. BonfireS are
blazing on all the principal thorough
fares and torchlight professions with
brass band leaders parading the streets
with flying banners, proclaiming to the
opposition unbounded enthusiasm at
the election of Seth Newman. The
Boilers candidate for mayor, who is
said to be an advocate of high license,
but what difference these views would
make in the administration of the pro-
hibition law was not stated before the
election. The balance OF the ticket is
straight Republican. The opposition
claim enough false counts made
for mayor to more than offset
the small majority of twenty claimed. A
rumor is also current that MayorEdwards
has power, if he feels inclined to assert
it, of holding the winning hand over
either candidate. by insisting on the
completion of his two year term, claiming
the new charter under which the pres
ent officers are elected does not mention
that of mayor, and provides for two
year term instead of one, as the old
charter. AS Mayor Edwards could not
be seen the rumor could not be con-
firmed. Another one is that the cleo
tion was not legally called, quorum of
the council not being present at the
time. How the matter may terminate
cannot, at the present time, be stated,
but that there is liable to be considera-
BILE of a rumpus no one seems to doubt.
One feature of the election to-day was
the resignation of the entire police
force who handed over their revolvers,
billies and other paraphernalia as soon
as the result was decided, and the city
tonight is without police protection
save for the chief, who at late hour
had not found the proper officer to re-
ceiye his implements of warfare.
