fEATS OF MEMORY.

Cardinal Mazzofanti, the linguist who Is
said TO have known hundred languages,
declared that he never forgot word he had
once learned.
An English clergyman mentions man who
could remember the day OF the burial OF
every person who had died in the parish dur
ing thirty-five years, and could also repeat
the name and age of each deceased person
and the names of the mourners at his fu-
neral. But so weak was lie intellectually
that he could not be trusted to feed himself.
To friend who congratulated Leyden on
his remarkable memory be replied that he
often found it source Of great inconveni-
snce On the friend expressing surprise he
explained that he had often wished 10 recol-
lect u particular expression in something he
had read, but could not do it until he had
repeated the whole passage from the besn-
ming to the expression he desired to recall.
DR.. Moffat, the distinguished African mis-
sionary, and the father-inlaw OF DR. Living
stone, once preached long sermon to a
crowd of negroes. Shortly after he had fin
ished he saw a number OF negroes gather
about simple minded young savage. He
went to them and discovered that the savage
was preaching his sermon over again. Not
only was he reproducing the precise words,
but initiating the manner and gesture OF the
white preacher.

WHO Is PROTECTED ,

That is the question to-day that The
Democratic party propounds. We want
to know why all American citizens ale
forced to pay twice as much for clothing
as the people on The same continent Just
across the st. Lawrence river The
Government has surplus revenue of

support OF Government properly and
economically administered
The average tribute paid to protection
Is SIS head for sinners of high and low
degree who do not understand that they
are entitled TO freedom The sinner
who thinks that he is free, arises in the
morning and puts on the sock that Is
taxed 50 per cent and the shoe that is
taxed per cent, and when he gets into
all his Taiments, which Is taxed about 30
per cent, he goes to his frugal meal when
be pays tribute on the sugar and coffee,
and says his prayers with a tribute that
is taxed by monopoly. The correspond.
ing citizen just over The st. Lawrence
river Is real freeman because he gets
his clothing al fair price and of better
quality
We say better quality because that
protection which puts manufacturers
in the hands of few monOpolists en-.
ables them TO pre-enpt the home market
and force our people to buy anything
that the privileged monopolists make.
OF course when you close the markets
of the world to our people by putting on

olist can make you buy an inferior arti.

Diamond Mining In South Africa.

The diamondiferous soil is quarried out
below by Kafrs and deposited in great
iron buckets which run on standing wire
ropes. and are hauled up by steam to the
receiving boxes on the brink Of the mine
EVERYWHERE is activity and hustle, and
loud hum comes up out Of the vast hole
from 1900 to 1000 human beings engaged
at work below. The men themselves look
like so many flies as they dig away at the
blue soil. and the thousands of wire ropes
extending from every claim to the de
POSTING boxes round the edge have the
appearance Of huge spiders web, while
the buckets perpetuaiiy descending empty
and ascending iull might well represent
the giant spiders.
Every thirteen or fourteen kafrs at
work in the mine have white overseer,
to prevent as much a. possible that
wholesale robbery which goes on among
them. One would think they would find
il rather hard to steal, and still more
difficult to conceal q diamond on their
naked persons under the eye OF the over
seer; but. despite all precautions. they do
steal vast number Of stones, picking
them up and carrying them away in their
mouths or between their toes. The
LARGEST diamonds are usually unearthed
in the mines before the stuff Is washed,
end an overseer must keep his eyes well
open, for he cannot bs sure OF the honesty
OF any one Of his boys. GLOBE Demo-

AUSTRALIANS CENTENNIAL.

We published some time ago the notice
of the International Exposition to be
held at Melbourne in July, with the out
line plan of the extensive buildings then
In course of erection.
Melbourne is city OF 100000 inhabi'
tants, and is as wonderful a result of
modern enterprise as anything that our
own America can show. The great
Island Continent celebrates her colonial
centennial just as we did ours at Phila'
delphia In 1876 with worlds fair,
where the industrial and meIcan-
tile genius of the world will display
the products OF modern art and science.
There is popularity about the country
that will be universal attraction, aid
America as the leading new country OF
the world takes peculiar interest in it.
There are commissioners 10 represent the
United States, and the State of Virginia
will be represented by Major Lewis Gin
ter, who is accredited by Governor Lee,
and will leave this morning with his
niece, Miss Grace Arents, for
San Francisco, where they will take the
steamer Maraposa for Sidney. Mr.. T. C..
Williams and family will sail in the same
steamer, and also Mr.. Miller, the well.
known tobacco manufacturer of Lynch
burg. Virginias products will speak for
themselves, and the State is fortunate TO
be so well represented by her leading
citizens. After visiting Australia Major
Ginter will return home via the Red Sea
and Suez Canal England and New York.
Bon ecydge' say all their friends, and
their number is host.

use of Porcelain Shot.

Under this name small white globules
of porcelain are made in Munich. They
are made to take the place Of ordinary
lead shot used for cleaning wine and med
icine bottles, as porcelain is entirely free
from the objection OF producing lead con
tamination. which is often the result
when ordinary shot is used. Their hard
ness and rough surface producing. when
shaken. greater friction. adapt the porce-
lain shot well for quickly cleaning dirty

Cse Of the Identiscope.

The identiscope Is an affair something
like book cover with a sheet OF glass in
place Of leaves OF the book The fact on
which tho instrument claims its useful
ness Is that when the bony fabric Of the
head OF any one has reached maturity
neither the iris of Ae eve nor the area OF
measurement of the facile perpendicular
undergo perceptibie alteration Therefore
obtain an authentic photo, taken after
person has reached maturity Score the
face of the photo with parallel lines (hor
izontal and Perpendicular at equal dis
tances from each other. using the exac,
measurement Of the diameter OF the iris
as unit to regulate the distance each
line shall be from the next. Then take
photo-same size as trst-of any one
claiming to be the original Of the first and
score it in like manner, using the iris OF
its eve as the unit of its measurement
Put these two photos into the identi
scope, oneon either cover leaf facing the
sheet Of glass Draw the covers together
until the reflections of the two photos are
thrown on the glass In the same spot
Manipulate the covers until the rehec
ton of line OF one photo is blended with
the reflection of the corresponding line of
the other Then the reflection Of every
line on one photo must fall exactly on the
reflection of the corresponding line of the
other photo II not according to the
principle on which the iden,iscope claims
its use the photos cannot be Of the same
sitter
The identiscope was exhibited at a
Photographic exhibition held at Bristol
and a reward OF 800 offered tommy one
who could disprove tho accuracy Of its
principle or produce two photos of differ
mt sitters which would exactly coincide
with one another Many attempts were
made to obtain this reward, but all have
failed. Photos of brothers so much alike
that they could hardly be distinguished
from one another, when tested were found
to be distinctly different in size The

The Republicans utterly fail to APP
preciate the situation They maintained
themselves by the power of political or
ganization Identified with the Govern.
ment service, and with all that advant-
age they were beaten because the people
suspected them of conspiracy to sub.
vert the Government to. ring aristocracy,
star route thieying, and job contracts in
all the departments as done by Bill
Chandler, chief of the Navy for repairs
only. The people found out that Repub-
licans were making the Government into
political machine, and that is the why
and wherefore of Blaine's defeat.
Now, look you. the Republican party
has no machine paid by tho Govern
ment, and it is very badly beaten party
and thereby hangs tale.
