POLITICAL POINTERS.

Ex-Governor Downey, of California, has renounced democracy m favor ot Harrison and Morton.
 With Gen. Harrison on the ticket for president, ex-Governor Porter for gover- nor Gen Lew Wallace for lieutenant
 governor and protection as the issue Tn
 the campaign the democrats might as
 we'll throw up the sponge in Indiana
 This is a republican year in Indiana,
 and there can't anything head it of.
 The grand council of the Independent
 Labor party ofthe United States met in
 Detroit on the I7th intt to decide upon
 ,hem policy for the coming campaign.
 After discussion of the platforms of the
 republican and democratic parties Presi- dent Taylor moved that Harrison and
 Morton be endorsed as the candidate Of the independent labor party for presl- dent and vice president. The motion carried unanimously.
 The State Brewers association, of New York, which the chairman of the democratic state committee, Edward Murphy, jr. is president and the state Wine and Liquor Dealers association nave filed notice on the Cleveland men that unless David Bennett Hill Is re- warded for his answering alliances to the liquor interests of the state the na- uonal democracy canno! expect financial contributions.
 Hon. William H. Grace, longregarded as one of the best stump speakers the democracy ever had in the state of New York, promises to vote and ~o'k with the republicans in the coming contest for national supremacy. In an In- terview with Mail and Express man he said. "AlImy associations and material interests lie in the democratic party. l have no word of disrespect for President Cleveland. With me 1t IS a question of issues not of men. The issue has been made so clear that no one can fail to see it. I have studied this tariff que stion for twenty-five years and cannot but support the convictions that l have ar rived at after so much study. cannot support free trade which has been the cause of every great panic since 1873 The democratic policy now IS to claim that the party is not for free trade but for heer trade. The claim IS hypocritI- cal. Its platform is but a string of words we'll put together and intended to de ceive the people,"

The Harrison family IS not popular in Epgland-at least in the aristocratic circles. The first historical member of the family helped to behead king and the next one reported the declaration of independence to the contine' tai con- gress. The third Harrison whaled the British on their own soil for the first time, at the battle of the Thames, Gan ada, and the fourth Harrison IS probable destined to make 1t pretty warm for any body that seizes Yankee fishing vessel for the crime of coming ashore to buy bait The Engish press therefor nstur- ally opposes Harrison and carries ban dana wipes.-Ex

It gave Mona a little additional sense of
loneliness to think that sea and land
her herself, for. after al, Deb was her
mainstay.
Mr.. Craig's intention Of journeying TO
Glasgow was postponed because he caught
a very severe cold, and was obliged to keep
his bed. This was very trying time to
the household, as. the old man thought he
was going to die, and demanded endless
attention. It was therefore in the last
week Of January that, encouraged by &
favorable change of weather, he set out on
his travels. He only intended to be away
two clear days, but on the morning of the
second Mona received few almost illegi-
BILE lines from him saying that he did not
expect to get away till the following Sat
urday.
Of this welcome breathing space Ken
meth took advantage to pay flying visit
to his Mary-leaving early one morning,
and returning late the following night-an
interval of utter loneliness which was most
depressing to Mona.
Saturday broke brightly, full of promise
for fine day. Already a breath Of spring
came with the sea breeze to cheer and in
vigorate.
Before Kenneth and Mona had risen
from the breakfast-table, where they had
sat longer than usual talking of Mary. and
discussing how and when the subject Of
Kenneth's marriage with her could best
be preached to Uncle Sandy, a egram
was put into Mona's hands from that po-
tentate-"Will bring q gentleman with me-

"Who car it be?" said Kenneth
''And what for should it not be Lisles
He is fiery nice man, and thinks ferry
much of you, Mona. I daur say it will be
Lisle."

HE would not take That Ufouuie, eua
said, more to herself than to her compan.

Gil with the cook-to see to the rubbing up
of what silver her uncle possessed-to in
terview the gardener-Jo set Jessie to pre-
pare the best room, and keep up good fire
therein.
1t was reviving to have something to do
something to anticipate. Even if the
nameless visitor proved to be Lisle, he
would be welcome after such an unbroken
spell of monotony.

German Cooperation In Iowa.

The Amana community in Iowa, in
GLIDING population of about two thou
sand, is an interesting illustration of the
success of cooperative effort among
thrifty Germans. The settlement was
begun IL 1855, and the colony now owns
$4,000 acres of land. The land forms q
single township, snd the people are
grouped in seven villages. Each village
Is social and Industrial unit, and has q
definite area assigned 70 IL for cultivation
and pastrrage. The government OF the
colony affairs, Rs e Shole, Is Invested in
board OF thirteen trustees, We each
village has its board OF elders, " ring in
numhe" from seven IL the smsusst TO
eighteen in the largest. Tee central IL
stisutiG1 IN each village is the store
which, ; large, general, retail es eaoliah
ment. carrying groceries, drugs, dry
goods, clothing, bats aud caps, hard ware.
etc. It's bookkeeping IL very eiaborste.
for, except in dealing with outsiders, the
c0lonists do not ordinarily use money.
Everything is done By a system OF &C
counts which are keptat the ''store.n The
blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop
have accounts against the farm Gepars-
rnent which are duly recorded on the
village hooks. Every family OF adult has
az account Of the "store," certain credits

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The line of life is ragged diagonal
between duty and desire.
Never think you can make yourself
great by making another less.
Genius without ambition is as useless
as a cannon BAH without powder
You must love your work and not be
looking over the edge OF it for the play
to begin.
How noiselessly the snow comes
down. You may see it, but never hear
it. Such is true charity.
This mystery Of sleepl This greater
mystery of wakingl If we could fathom
them we should have fathomed ourselves
and life and DEATH
A great many petty trials of life
would cease to trouble US if we only
thought how little they will matter a
thousand years hence
Let every man take care how he
speaks or writes of honest people, and
not set down at venture the first
thing that comes uppermost.
have always looked upon it as the
worst condition of mans destiny that
persons are so often torn asunder just as
they become happy in each others soci-
city.
We find it hard to get and to keep
any private property in thought. Other
people are all the time saying the same
things we are boarding to say when we
get ready.
Inexhaustible good nature is the most
precious gift of heaven, spreading itself
like oil over the troubled sea of thought
and keeping the mind smooth and
equable during the toughest weather.
A man without reproach, from whom
the breath of scandal passes like COM
mon breath from any other polished
surface, could afford to do what com
mon men could not.

"Watches" on Shinhonrd.

The system Of watches common to the
naval and merchant marines of many.
countries, especially American, English
and German vessels, consists of dividing
and dividing the crew into starboard
or port watches, each taking alternate
ly four hours watch. The time of each
watch is told off on the ships bell at in
tervals of half an hour. Half past twelve
half-past four, half-past eight. day and
night are indicated by one tap of the
bell; two bells mean one, five and nine
o'clock, and SO on to eight bells, which
means four, eight and twelve o'clock.
The bells are sounded by twos; thus,
five bells will be two strokes near to-
gether, then two other strokes, then one
stroke. Eight bells arc struck by four
doublets. The dreaded mid watch is
from midnight to four o'clock in the
morning. To avoid this watch always
falling to the same division of men, the
watch from four to eight in the evening
is sometimes cut in two at six O'clock,
the watch coming on at four serving till
six instead Of eight, and the watch com
ing on at SIX and serving till eight.
Then the watch which went off at six
comes on again at eight. This shifts the
scheme every twenty-four hours.

Tho Genesis Of spoons.

The earliest spoons we're doubtless
made of wood, followed Improvement
OH John Chinamons chopstick These,
in their turn, were supplemented and
displaced by spoons Of bone and horn,
from whence we get the proverbial cx-
preston as to making the spoon or spoil
ing the horn. Then came spoons Of tin
or iron, of rough and inelegant shape,
and hammered by hand, such as may DO
seen in many humble rural kitchen.
In the prosperous Tudor times tho pre-
cious metals became more plentiful, and
gold and silver plate was in such de-
maud that every great family had its
own goldsmith. OF this there Is album
dant mention. The viii of Katherine
Of Arragon bequoaths to her goldsmith
a years wages, while Cardinal Wolsoy's
goldsmith. Robert Amadale, as
became that ostentatious gentle
man, was famous craftsman. In
Description Of England by one Will
liam Harrison, who was chaplain to Lord
Cobnam in 1886, prefxed to Hollin-
sheds Chronicles, is given graphic
picture of the increase and spread of
wealth in the country, which speaks Of
the exchange of 'treene (tinned irony
plattors into pewter, and wooden
spoons into silver or TIM aud con-
cludes with list of the plate usually
possessed by yeoman, consisting of "a
silver salt, bowie for wine Gf not .
whole neast), and dozen Of spoones to
finish up the suite" There can be little
doubt that, at the close OF this century,
silver plate among the wealthy classes
was comparatively plentiful. = Casscll'a

Uncle Rudo1ph's Choice.

It was bitter cold night in Febru
airy, snow lying high heaped along the
village street and icicles tinkling in the
bleak wind at every gust that swept
through the boughs of the old cherry
tree in front of our door, while full
moon, shining in the frozen dome of
heaven, made the outer world look even
more frigid than its actual reality.
The little clock on the mantel-an
ancient, japanned toy, that had once be-

we had ancestors, although we were
poverty-striken enough now-had just
chimed eight, the faded moreen window

The Limit of Visibility.

Just how large is the r0inutest object

Sir Henry Rosco having treated the
HOO, 900 of an inch as the limit of visi-
bilIty with the highest known magnify
ing power Mr.. Crisp, of the Royal
Microscopical Society, affirms that the
real limit may be quite safely placed be-
low 1900, 600 of an inch, though it can
not be definitely determined. Rev. DIR.
Dallinger the eminent president Of the
Society, endorses this view, stating that
he has himself seen objects which we're
certainly between goo, 600 and 300,

Terra del Fuego. or at least that part
of it which belongs to the Argentine Re-
public, is not altogether the miserable
"tail end of creation" which some ex-
plorers in their ignorance have painted
it, but country diversified and pictur-
esquc in the extreme, with beautiful
alienation of mountain, upland an
plain, with immense forests of sever
varieties of valuable timber, with wide
pampas and extended plains, with va
rlety Of succulent grasses suitable for
both cattle and sheep, with a large
number of small rivers aid watercourses
running to the four points Of the COM
pass, with lakes and lagoons in different
parts Of the interior, with a large num-
Der Of beautiful bays and harbors. with
various kinds of wild animals valuable
for their flesh and their furs, with AN
abundance of excellent game. with
climate somewhat rigorous Ia the win-
ter, but healthful in the extreme and
suitable for the cultivation Of the cereals
and nearly all varieties of vegetables; a
country, indeed, which is capable Of
wonderful development and possess
ing quite all the elements necessary for
sustaining large population. There is
no country which has been 50 persist
emily maligned and misrepresented, and
simply because those who visited its
coasts never penetrated into its interior,
but drew their conclusions from what
they saw, or imagined they saw, from
their ships. - Report Of Consul Baker.

A writer IN the New York Observer,
describing life in Russia. says there the
priesthood are divided into two classes
the white and the black clergy. The white
clergy arc the parish priests, are Obliged
to marry, and have duties corresponding
to those Of pastors in this country. The
black clergy or. as they arc called, "the
black monks" hold the places of power
in the church, are celibates, and live in
monasteries. Their dress gives their
names to the priests. Not unnaturally,
the white priests and the black monks
are anything but friends.

MY Mirror.


Between the orchard and the mil
The brooklet of its laughing tires;
Its waters there grew deep and still
About the piers, old and moss grown,
Beneath the little bridge of stone
Clasped here and there, with wildrose
briers
was a vain young country maid,
Each day at noon sent to the mill,
And used to loiter in the shade,
And lean above the jagged pier,
Beyond the wild rose creeping near,
And peer into the placid rill
Twas not the water lilies there,
Nor pale green crosses that I sought;
But back to me bright eyes and hair,
Sun-tangled framed in shadowy green,
Reflected, threw their glamorous sheen
And kept nae longer than they ought.
One day 1 fingered, looking down,
Long past the sunshine of midday,
When close beside me, big and brown,
Two eyes, so full of laughter met
My own within the rivulet
My eyes dropped low and turned away.
You see, twas fathers harvester
''Our john" we alwas called the lad;
Like to his own my parents were,
And II cannot rightly tell
By what strange chance it e'er befel-
His coming made me always glad.
How shallow seemed the brooklet Their
After the glance of eyes likeh
/ slowly raised my own again
And found him gazing slyly down
never knew that eyes of brown
Were full of such sweet mysteriesl
For, looking up, how could guess
To find my imaged features theres
A mirror full of tenderness
His dark eyes made; the rivulet
in all my loiterings, never yet
Had made me seem one-haf SO fart
The wild rose blossoms all are dead;
And, where the water lilies were,
The brook sleeps in its frozen bed.
Unheeded let the winters pass;
Ihavea truer looking glass
The brown eyes of my harvester!
