TIE LIMEKlLN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Delivers Short Address
on Official Honesty.

On Onclal honesty
my attenshun, 4" said Brother Gard
ner as he carefully pulled down his
vest, ''has bin directed to dc follerin'
item in a Chicago paper: 4
'SKIPPED-The Treasurer of the celebrated
Limeliiln Club at Detroit has changed his postal
address to Canada. He took over $1,000 with
him, and 1t is said the club is badly broken up
Let us have some philosophy from Brother
Gardner on the subject OF oficial honesty
"How dat report 60 abroad l doan'
know" continued the old man, ''but it
was made outer hull cloth, as we all
know. Oar sots our respected treas
urer in his usual seat, an de funds of
de club are safe in dc bank. Human
foresight an human hindsight hev DER

Her New Mamma.

Hattie M, the daughter of a Bos-
ton clergyman, was permitted to at
tend the ceremony of her fathers Sec
ond marriage and under the care of
her auntie travelled part of the way
with the newly welded couple, who
had determined that no one should
suspect the recent ceremony by any
act of consciousness on their part.
In the meantime the terrible child
had left her seat, unobserved, and as
the train came to a stand still, amid
the usual silence at such a time, the
shrill small voice was heard distinct
ly from the end of the car @ .A'a
"Pve got beautiful new mamma.
l got her today. Want to see her?
She's over there" pointing with ex-
actness at the blushing bride.
"That's my beautiful new mamma!
the old one is dead, and gone to
heaven-s'pose this one win be dead
pretty soon, and then I'll have two
of 'em up there!"
AT this point the small informant
was suddenly arrested, and taken to
her seat by the mortified auntie in
charge, while the last words audible
to the passengers were,-
"Why, auntie, you needn't feel so
bad! l guess they're all glad enough
to hear bout my beautiful new man.

The Blair Bill Gone to its Fate.
Na.Avills Democrat. EhW

MHN NEEM G ana Wk
Nashville Democrat. W h sMMN
Our Washington dispatches say
that the prospects for passing the
Blair educational bill through the
house are not very good. No one
seems to be taking any interest in it,
and friends (?) and enemies have
quietly agreed to let it sleep the sleep
that knows no waking, without put
ting the house to the trouble of
beating it, or the president to the
trouble of writing veto. From the
time that the opponents of this
noxious measure began to assault it
it has steadily declined in popular
favor. The record of the last vote by
which 1t passed the senate was a
revelation to many of its supporters.
1t was the handwriting on the wall
for one of the worst jobs ever attempt
ed upon the treasury. Wherever
this measure had been openly discus
sed by both sides it has lost favor. In
Tennessee it had at one time con-
siderable following, and was urged
with a zeal and ability worthy Of q
noble object. Now, no aspiring poll
tician dare peril his political life by
defending it upon the stump or
through the press. The men who
fought for it have deserted it, and it
iSleft practically without friend and
will die without a mourner.

Our Eccentric Language.

The eccentricities of the English
language are often the subject of for
eign dissatisfaction, and form the OBJ
stacles to the most cultured linguis-
tic perfection. A Hollander of edu-
cation was lately called upon to ad-
dress an American meeting illustrat-
ed the trials in language by a most
natural slip in synonyms "Ladies
and gentlemen" he said, feeling his
way with care, sit is great pleasure
for me to speak words to you. The
convention is so homelike to me and
the people Of the convention are so
homely." At this point a subdued
laughinterupted him, but as he pro-
ceeded it was evident that he was in
nocent Of the turn his compliment
had taken. #. ta gl5

Ostrich Pecuiiarities.

The ostrich is an anomaly; a fond

gentleness now, and again kicking

the wisdom of an astronomer, and

a woman trying to cross a crowded
city street on Saturday afternoon.
Their way of showing anger or fear
is peculiar. They squat on their

Mining Statistics.

WASHINGTON. July 26.-David e. Day,
Chief OF the division of mining statistics,
has Submitted a summary of the min
eral products of the United States in
1887 in advance of the official repor'
The total value is S53S, 056 345. 1t
shows wonderful gain over 1886, and
is 500 100000 greater than the out
put OF 1885. The United States
leads the world in production
in minerals. The principal gains
in 1885 were in the production of
metallic ores and fuels necessary for
melting them. TIE production of pig
iron alone was more than $26 600 COO
The high price OF copper caused no.
table expansion in that industry. The
product of coal is the largest ever re-
corded. Taken as whole, the report
shows great prosperity for the mining
industry. The grand total value of more
than half billion dollars, the report
says, resulted not only from an increase
in quantity OF minerals mined, but also
from the general advance in prices in
metals. 1t may be that several years
before this total is exceeded, and the
year 1888 will fall considerably below
it. Among the many reasons of de-
crease this year is decrease in rail-
road bGilding.
