II is but fair 10 say that Auditor
Gwin. denied any knowledge Of the H.
legality of these transactions until af-
ter the lands were bought, and he says
"the application was made in Smylie's
office and he brought the certificate
into my office, which was a voucher
TO the Auditor. aud upon which he
issued his receipt warrant (page j64.) J
The above evidence shows most con-
/ cmsively. that the State Officers of
that day, wilfully cOnnived at a VIC.
latiou of law whereby the people o.
the State who had entrusted them
with the administration of their af-
fairs. were coolly defraudcd of valua-
ble lands. without such connivance
the fraud was impossible, and in this
they betrayed their trust
There was no evidence that any of
the officials; save the Swamp Land
Commissioner, received any benefit
from these transactions other than the
proper fees of their several offices.

reasons for the course Of the paper

Mr. Cleveland has been by far the
grandest this conniry has seen in

summarize we support Grover Cleve-
land IN 1855
Because Ne has redeemed his pledges
Of 1884, Few men ever did it before.
Because he has aided in securing
anlimOnopoly ieeislsiiop in Ire utter
state cominoreo and tlie oleoibareaine
Bills, SO on
Because under his administration
hundreds Of thousands Of acres Of
public lands have been reclaimed to
the people and taken from the mo-
nopolists.
Because the question Of citizenship
for alI eoloTa lns lieeii definitely set
tied By his wise aammistfatian.i
Because, in spite Of an assured re-
nomination and recollection, he ran the
chance Of losing both BY a message to
Congress that for bravery has never
been excelled IN the history Of the
country.
Because he favors low taxes-taxes
that bear equally-and i 81 favor OF
wiping out the inequalities Of taxa
ton that bear with undue influence
upon the masses, thus robbing the
many to enrich the few.
Because under his administration
Congress has done more for the agri.

UNKNOWN SENSATIONS.

Sir John Lubbock On the Problematical
Organs Of Sense.
Sound is the sensation produced on
us when the vibrations of the air strike
on the drum of our ear. When they are
few, the sound is deep; as they increase
in number, it becomes shriller and
shriller; but when they reach forty
thousand in a second they cease to be
audible. Light is the effect produced
on US when waves of light strike on
the eye. When four hundred millions
of millions Of vibrations of either
strike the retina in second, they pro-
duce red, and as the number increases
the color passes into orange, then yell
low, green, blue and violet. But be-
tween forty thousand vibrations in a
second and four hundred millions of
millions we have no organ of sense
capable of receiving the impression.
Yet between these limits any number
of sensations may exist. We have five
senses, and sometimes fancy that no
others are possible. But it is obvious
that we can not measure the infinite by
our own narrow limitations.
Moreover, looking at the question
from the other side, we find in animals
complex organs of sense, -ichly sup
piled with nerves. but the function of
which we are as yet powerless to ex-
plain. There may be fifty other senses
as different from ours as sound is from
sight; and even within the boundaries
of our own senses there may be endless
sounds which we can not hear, and col
ors as different as red from green, of
which we have no conception. These
and thousand other questions remain
for solution. The familiar world which
surrounds us may be totally different
place to other animals. To them it may
be full of music which we can not hear,
of color which we can not see, Of sen.
sations which we can not conceive.

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.
Some of tho Clever Captures of M. Sou
dais, of tho Paris Police.

Some of tho Clever Captures of M. Sou.
dais, of tho Paris Police.
The French detective force has been
greatly decried and deprecated by the
public of recent years, and it has been
commonly remarked that it's members
had lost that professional astuteness
and ability which distinguished NJ.
Claude and other famous limiers, who
have either published their own ex-
periences, like that worthy, or who
have been described under assumed
names by novelists of the "Gaborian
school," The promptness with which
Allmayer, the notorious swindler, was
recently arrested at Havre shows, how
ever, that there is still some fine ''blood-
hounds in the detective force. M.
Soudais, who was the prime mover in
the arrest of Allmayer, is one of these.
He is a man between thirty-hve
and forty years old, with a short,
rugged beard, and looks like a
rotund and comfortable citizen
who has ''made his pile,'' and has
nothing to do for the remainder of his
life but to discuss politics at second
hand and to play dominoes in cafes.
M: Soudais flies at all kinds of game,
but his favorite birds are defaulting
financiers and big swindlers. Never
theless, when there is no important
culprit to be followed from the boule-
wards to the banks of the Bosporus, NJ.
Soudais does not disdain to track low
murderers and burglars to their lairs
in the Palace Maubert or the dingy en-
virons of Paris. One Of his first CAP
lures was that of Savreux, a railway
cashier, who stole $4,000. and whom
he arrested in Vienna. Later on he
hunted out Maisonneuve, who MUIR
dered loose woman in the Rue de
Rome; Ulm and Farme, two wretches
who ''knived" an old bourgeois to death
in the Vincennes wood, and finally he
tracked Mouvet, the absconding bank
director, to Constantinople, and with
the aid Of two Levantine thieves laid
q trap for him into which he fell. NJ.
Soudais was obliged to employ the
thieves because he could, as he said,
reckon but little on the help Of the
Constantinoplen police. As for All
mayer, the detective had looked for
him in Belgrade, then Genoa, and next
In Biaritz and it was only by the merest
chance that he heard Of tho swindler's
presence in Normandy, whether All
mayer had gone in order to s.cut 3
dash" during tho summer season with
the nnercenary creature Of his a4oo.
