Signal Service.

A man connected with the signal
service, on going home late at night,
encountered foot-pad at lonely
corner of the street. The man in the
pad business requested the gentleman
to stand and deliver. And so he did,
delivering a telling blow on the fell
lows nose, which caused HIM to see
more stars than are travelling this
season with their special combina-
tions. This is a mere local disturb
ance, said the weather bureau man,
who was getting into a higher tenn
perature, but look out for cyclone
from the Northwest, attended by hail,
and the blows hailed on his adversary
at a furious rate. The foot-pad was
not prepared for this, having previ-
ously dealt with customers who not
only turned over all the portable
property they have. but gave him
their note for thirty days besides. He
tried to escape from the existing area
of low pressure IN an eastward direc-
ton toward the north, as the arrow
indicates -, although that de-
pends on how you hold the paper.
The storm center moved rapidly in
the same direction, catching him in
the lower lake region, with No. 10
boot, resulting in falling bar-room-
eter. As the signal man resumed his
homeward way, he softly murmured,
slightly warmer but clearer weather.

A Buffalo man claims to have
solved the paoblem of harnessing the
Niagara river. He will employ a
submerged belt composed of two
strands of two inch cable to which
steel plates are attached. The full
force of the current pressing on these
plates forces the belt around at a
great rate, producing high rate OF
horsepower. The system can be du-
plicated indefinitely.

The Salt Lake Tribune in an edi-
torIai OF recent issue, speaking of
ldaho's chance for Statehood, says:
!" With more than 100000 people de-
manding admittance into the Union,
with such resources in their hands,
with more than 100000 people who
are real Americans, there is no Con-
gress that will deny their prayer.
The presentation Of the fair possibili-
ties of the Territory will act as q
double argument for admission, be-
cause, first, the showing will make it
clear that the Territory is amply able
to support Statehood, and, second,
the showing will make it just as man
ifest that with such work before
them the people ought to have the
full power to control their own affairs,
and not to be hampered by the d.
vided and uncertain rule that is ex-
tended to Territories. We believe
that our friends in the north will only
consider what We have said above as
being offered by way of suggestion,
as is also the further belief that they
should, either by popular subscription
or BY legislative appropriation, raise
a little fund for the purpose of COL
lecting data necessary to lay before
Congress on the making of the ap-
plication for Statehood. Such data,
arranged in convention form, illu-
minated with maps and drawings,
with have their effect"

A traveller tells the following story
to illustrate the insensibility of Maoris
to pain. "My frieud," he says, "had
given a Maori pair of boots, but
they were too short for him. For
some time he endeavored to force
them on, but this was impossible; so
he seized small tomahawk (hatchet)
and cut off his large toe, to the length
of his other toes, and then applied
some juice of the fax plant {" Phor-
MUM tenax '1 to the cut to stop
bleeding and pulled on the boot
which was not removed until the toe
healed. He put on the other boo'
after a similar operation. l have
known several instances which ap-

sion to the passage of the Mills BILL"
says the president. This is one of
those facts which no amount of free
trade argument can controvert.
Some of the Berkeley County
wool dealers and raisers sold to the
Chambersburg Mills every year.
They themselves will be forced out
of the business by free wool and will
have to go into something else.
Take men like Mr.. Jas. Vanmetre
who have thousands of dollars in.
vested in sheep, their money will
come out of that industry and go in.
to something else, in which perhaps
other people will be displaced. Wool
is only 16 cents now, and Mr.. Luth.
er Miller, one of our oldest dealers,
says lie is not safe in buying even
at that price. Perhaps he "don't

understand his business, and the
wooden men understand theirs, but
the free traders il Congress do not.

sailed for home, "and so We are, but

American people understand it is
their interests we are fighting for,
and British interests which the Dem

Blaine a reception next week that
will make the mugwumps feel as if
life had lost its SAVIOR for them and
their calumnies. With Harrison in

campaign oratory will be full of sub.

HOW THEY SURPRISE US.

Respectable people, outside of the
politicians, do not encourage false
hood direct even in politics. Yet
with all our schools and colleges
homo training and pulpit enlighten
ment, politicians will for party'<
sake tell the nineteenth century in
telligenee that it land themselves,
can not understand the public
issues, but that they must blindly
follow and obey their party, (made
up of selfseeking politicians). Such
slavery Of intelligence and sacrifice
Of dignity and manhood should not
go forgotten and unrebuked. 1t is
bourbonism pure and simple. It is
the doctrine that kept the nations
in ignorance and the masses under
the tyrant's heel for ages. 1t is moi
taught by the laws of God, of nature
nor of reason. 1t is political dema
goguery of the lowest type.
