The insincerity of the Democratic attack
upon the Chicago platform is shown by the
fact that while in the East the Democrats
pretend that the platform means free
whiskey,' in California they are denounc-
ing it as committing the party to prohibit

What They Will Promise.
Drake's Magazine.

Drake's Magazine. It is understood that the following pledge will be circulated for signature among the 'journalists" of the daily press:
 "I hereby solemnly promise that will never use the following express ions, or any of them, in my profess ional work, and that I will use all honorable means to prevent their use by others:
 "Fire fiend.
 "Cast gloom.
 "When the smoke of battle had cleared away.
 "True facts.
 "The scene beggars description. "View with alarm. "Dull, sickening thud. "Like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
 "Trembled like an aspen. Clap of luxury.
 "Hive of industry. "White- winged peace. "Fill long want. "Hectic flush.
 "Grim reaper.
 "Throw oil on the troubled waters.

Trifling Follies Running Wild.
St. Louis Spectator.

The number of trifling follies run-
 ming wild over the country is weari-
 some to the serious-minded. One after another some new trifle assumes pop ular importance and runs it's course. The popular will-o'- the-wisp just now
 is the cultivation of a phenomenal memory by formulas. Several quacks have offered to teach people this ac- complishment in an incredibly short time; two or three others are adver- tising to instruct by mail, while a fortune teller is advertising to repair defective memory by the touch of a spirit hand. This is not the age of ignorance, yet some of the most palps- ble deceptions are palmed off on the popular fancy as scientific discoveries. The memory formula may be an amusing trick, but it is not deserving the serious attention given to it. How ever, there are men who would con- sider the solution of the hen-and. g. half problem as important as the election of 8 president, and hence it ia not to be doubted that those who are mumbling set line of words believe they are acquiring perfect memory.

same Christian name happen to meet at the table one of them will marry during the year.
 If four unmarried persons, shaking hands, cross, two of them will marry during the year.
 There is superstition among girls to this effect:
 Change the name and not the letter,
 You marry for worse and not for better.
 There is another popular supersti- tion more honored by the breach than the observance. "A couple will never grow rich until the wedding trosseou is worn out" They should start with scant supply.
 Every one must have noticed that there are very few weddings in May. The ancients advised that it should be avoided, as that month was under the influence of evil spirits averse to happy households. Ovid says: Let maid or widow that would turn to wife Avoid the scOrn dangerous to life; If you mind old saws mind this, say, Tis bad to marry in the month of May.
 On the other hand, June is consid- cred the most propitious for marriage, June roses and June weddings being most happily associated in every lady's mind.
 It is considered very bad omen to postpone the wedding day after it has been once set, and unlucky to marry in cOlors.

. Of All Things m the World


 A tonic is what nervous people re- quire. To impart strength into the nervous organism is to insure it's tram quility, provided causes of unhealth- tul excitement are avoided. A medi- cinal tonic that-like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-commands the un- qualified sanction of the healing pro. tession, and which institutes a general reform in a bilious, dyspeptic and facilitated condition of the system, is surely entitled to careful trial by intelligent people, capable of forming due estimate of a medicine, from em- phatic and often recorded professional evidence in it's behalf. Not only are the nerves and stomach invigorated by the Bitters, but the system is also en- dowed with unwonted power of re- sistance to influences in air, water or daily avocation subversive of health. Prominently dangerous among the first named of these is malaria, against which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters affords competent safeguard. Rheu- matism and kidney troubles are also prevented and overcome by it.

American and German Universities
 American Magazine

The average age of the American college student at graduation is cer- tainly not greater than that of the German student at leaving his univer- sity. The American student is, how ever, not only better educated man, in the better sense of that word, than the German student at correspond ing age, but the average American col lege graduate, who has not yet entered upon any professional study whatever, either in law, medicine, theology or science, but who has spent three years at an academy of the grade of Ando- yer, Exeter, or Easthampton and four years at an any of the leading colleges of New England, is, by any fair test to be instituted by committee of Brit ish or European educational experts, a better educated man than the average German student who has completed both his gymnasium and his univer- sity studies.

A Reporter's Silence.
Liverpool Post,

The duke of Cambridge was through Liverpool lately and his presence there recalled to an old newspaper man, who was there when the duke visited it last, rather amusing story.
 The duke of Cambridge, MT. Card well and several other distinguished men were to dine with the mayor at the town hall. Their speeches were expected to be of European impor- tance and great interest attached to the occasion. Owing to the great at tendance the mayor could find room for only one reporter. There was much protest on the part of the press, but it was of no avail. An expert re- porter named Murphy was selected for the work and arrangements were made to supply all England with his report, which he was to dictate, when the banquet was over, to a dozen sten- ographers; but MT. Murphy had been treated with the utmost discour- tesy by the town hall officials. He was placed apart from the guests and was either supplied with a seat among the pots and pans of the walters, or in an orchestra occupied by the fiddlers.
 However, he took his revenge as we'll as his notes. When he returned to his office, where a dozen reporters were awaiting him with breathless anxiety, he smiled benignantly upon them and told them to go home. "Go home," gasped celebrated editor, "what do you mean? Have you not got the report?" "1 have taken down every syllable" said the redoubtable Murphy, "here are my notes," slap ping his pocketbook, "and there they remain. I have been grossly insulted and not line of the speeches shall ever see print" He was as good as his word, and so far as England and the world were concerned the great men at the town hall might have ut- tered their words of wisdom, congrat- ulation and warning in 8 thunder storm from the top of Snowdon.

Henry Irving's Early Days.
Toole, in London Times.

1OOhcs HI AOuuOn Altp0Ss
 "I was two seasons with Dillon, and between whiles, when the vacations came, used to go starring, more par ticularly to Edinburg, with small company of my own. It was here that 1 first met Irving about the year 1857; but did not see much of him at that time. I was only playing a very brief engagement. l met him later at Manchester, where our friendship commenced. He was the leading man at Manchester and was very much liked. He was always 8 very studious and careful actor, al- ways made remarkable and complete studies of his characters. There was nothing conventional about what he did. He seemed, so to speak, always to have got inside the part played, and to have learned something new about it; not new in the sense of being simply new, but something belonging to the part that other actors had not found out. He used to go up to Carlton Hill in Edinburg at all hours to study, and somehow this was con- sidered odd, but he was a little odd, that is to those who did not know him. Talking of Henry Irving a person said to me in Manchester, sOh, he is mad, mad as natter he's going to play Hamlet one of these days.' Whatever part he played, little or big, he always made it stand out, dressed it characteristically made it up artistically, worked out every detail and suggestion that could possibly belong to it. I was partly instru- mental in inducing him to go to the Princess, where he made his first ap- pearance in London in 8 piece called Ivy Hall.'
 "When Irving was lad he recited at Crosby hall, London, and used to recite at Sussex hall; often wished we had known each other then. Byron was very fond of Irving, had a great opinion of him; Irving made big mark as Bob Gassitt in his 'Dearer than Life.' I had many Bob Gns- sstt to play with me, but never one who played it with the reality and truth that Irving put into the part. One often hears people talk about luck in mans success, and have heard it applied to Irving as a reason for his position; but people who speak of Irving in this way do not know how hard he has worked for his success. It was as Cheveni1 in Uncle Dicks Darling that he impressed Dickens so strongly. Dickens thought him in his make up and manner little like Dom6ey. He said of Irving, that young man will be a great actor.' What I admire about Irving is the calm, steady way in which he has marched to the front, and the gentle gracious, unostentatious way in which he has kept there. He might have been excused, as the world goes, if he had put on one side and even forgot ten some of his friends, but he is just the same kind, generous fellow. He always was careless about money, lavish in his hospitalities-give- you all-he-had kind of hospitality whether it was banquet worthy of a prince, or in his early days chop and glass of ale. He has not altered one jot, except, if it were possible, to be a better fellow in his well-deserved prosperity than he was when he would occasionally curtail his courses at dinner in order to buy some books he wanted to read, in the way of his work"
