GOSSIP OF STAGE PEOPLE.

Arthur Miller, the manager Of Miss Minnie
Madden, was relating yesterday the story OF the
queer escape from railroad disaster which the
company had at the close Of their last season. 1t
appears that on the morning Of March % last Miss
Maddern and her colleagues were at Newcastle,
Pa, and were to 60 at once 10 Pittsburg 10 begin
an engagement there. They were taken TO the
depot Of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie road. The
treasurer Of the company had made special terms
for The transportation Of the company with the
sgent at the depot At the Inst moment. however,
some difficulty was raised, AMI. thoroughly angry,
the treasurer caused the baggage to be taken from
the train snd declared that he and his COM
pany would 20 TO Pittsburg ~ the Erie and
Pittshurg Railroad, running parallel on the oppo-
site side OF the river. The people erefore crossed
the river and went to Pitt burg by that route. The
trains on which they were to have travelled met In
collision at Rock Point with b train coming from
PittshurR. and was utterly wrecked. and, strange
to say, Miss Madden ana her companyon the otbeI
side OF the river saw the wreck as they passed Rock
Point. There were congratulations all around.
"H / had been there" 9 Id MIR. Miller, yester-
day, I'VE should have gone by the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie, In spite Of the diniculty as to TERMS, as
l would not have caused Miss Maddern any en-
barrassment." This goes to show that gallantry
does not always pay. In this case 1t might have
been rewarded by death.

The New York World prints an
authorized interview with MIR.
George William Curtis, the leader OF
the independents or Mngwumps,
IN which that gentlemen gives his
view of the political outlook in his
usually vigorous and lucid style.
Mr. Curtis feels assured that Mr..
Blaine never intended his deelina-
ton to be conclusive aIf he want
ed to say that, says Mr.. Curtis, q
think he has enough command Of
the English language TO do SO in a
way that would not be misunder-
stood. He is also convinced that
Mr. Blaine viii be nominated and
that he will be beaten by more
decisive majority than was record
ed against him in 1884 AS to what
viii follow the second defeat Of
Mr. Blaine draws the following not
very cheerful picture:
aThen the Republican party will
disintegrate and be reorganized.
There is nothing else for it to do.
1t must be purged of Blaine and
Blaineism, and nothing will do it
but to have him beaten again this
year worse than he was before.
Blaineism will then lose control OF
the Republican party. Even now
the PROCESS of fdisintegration is going
on actively, though it may be said
to have begun four years ago Only
the other day the Providence Jour
nal was formally read out of the
party by a state convention because
it exposed and denounced fraud and
corruption ds a disgrace to the Re
publican party. There is a great
dealiof talk about Republican clubs
which are being organized all over
the country, but mere organization
will effect nothing when a party is
governed Dy Such IDEAS ana ANNA
ted by such principles. A party SC
controlled will never survive sec
ond defeat without a thorough re.
organization"
Mr.. Curtis looks upon Judge
Gresham as being probably the most
formidable of those whose names
have been proposed as Republican
candidates, but he does not think
the party has the courge to Hcast
aside Blaine and Blaineism."

An exchange gives the following
ten reasons Why people should do
all the spending Of their money at
home. They are so forcible and
well put that we cannot refrain
from presenting them to our read
ers, hoping they viii give them tho
consideration they deserve:
LIST. It is your home; you cannot
improve It much BY taking money
sway to spend on invest
I'd There IS no way Of improv
ing a place 50 much as byencourag
ing good merchants, good schools
and good people settling among yom
this cannot be done unless you
spend your money at home.
Sd. Spend Jour money at home
because there Is where you geners
ally get it. II IS your duty
4th. Sp6nd your money At home
because when it is necessary Tor you
to get credit, it is of your town iner.
chants that yon generally get 1t; and
they must wait for the money; and
therefore, whom you have the cash
in hand spend it at home nd
9th. Spend yoar money at home.
1t will make better merchants of
your merchants; they can and will
keep better assortments, and sell Mt
lower rates than if.the only business
they can do is what is credited out
while the money goes to other pla-
ees.
9th. Spend your money at home.
You may have sons growing up who
will some day be the best merchants
in town. Help to lay the founda-
tionlfor them now. It is a duty
1t may be your pride in. after. years
to say: "By my trading at the store
I got my son a position as clerk,
and now he is a proprietor . Then
you win think it hard if your neigh
bors spend their money ont of town.
7th. Spend your money at homo.
Set the example now. Buy your
dry goods. groceries; meats and eV-
Ierything at home. and YOU wfil see
a great change in short time In
the business outlook Of the place.
therefore, deal with your home mer.

Lollerles and Dreams.

In lotteries and kindred forms of
gambling, men reject trust in other
folks luck, and believe instead in
condolences and dreams. They
find the number on which they fin
ally stake their fate in all manner
Of absurd and unmeaning ways.
All the tens of thousands of ticket
holders in a great lottery have Sc
leeted their number in some way
satisfactory TO themselves, about
which we hear nothing when the
result is failure, as in ninety nine
cases out ofa hundred Unnecessarily
is. But when the result chances-to
be success, as in small proper
ton of cases it must be, tho whole
story is gravely related in the pa
pers as though the number actually
bringing the prize had been deter
mined beforehand by some scientific
process of reasoning and success
assured by the exercise OF good
judgment and ingenuity.
Yet it is idle to inveigh against
the folly of such fancies and super
stitions. They have existed in all
ages and among all races from time
immemorial Carrying in them=
selves their own contradiction, they
also carry in themselves what to be-
levers in luck appears their full
confirmation. For he does not OBJ
serve that the ideas about luck
which run through his mind are
contradictory, and in their self con
tradiction provide for every event.
When success comes to him by fol-
lowing one idea about luck his faith
in luck is confirmed; but when fail
ure arrives he is not a whit less sat
isfied that he holds the true faith
about luck, for he has another
doctrine about that event also.
