The Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan
thinks his constituents should send him
to Congress partly because he can lick
any man on the face Of the earth, and
partly because his exploits in the fistic
ring and in knocking out exhibitions
have furnished entertainment to many
and people" he says, 'heye got to feel
grateful to those who entertain them. {"
Mr.. Sullivan may lack the brains aud
Doodle OF that other przs fighter, John
Morrissey, who served without any
special distinction in Congress, but he
does not take back seat when it comes
to question of cheek. But it is not i'm
probable that the State of Mississippi

with Mr.. Sullivan about the time the

engagements in this way.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania have
followed the example of their brethren
OF OHIO by a ringing Reinforcement of
tariff reform and denunciation of trusts
and exorbitant combines. Ballot reform
also comes in squsrely in their recon-
mendation of the Australian ballot sys-

stand on the high license law goes right
to the local issue which the Philadelphia
Times singles out as 'the sable gentle

There has been lull for some days in
the public interchange of letters between
Postmaster General Wanamsker and DR..
Norvin Green OF the Western Union, re-
garding the one mill per word rate for
government messages. II is now becom-
ing evident that the public controversy
is giving way to more private negotia-
tions looking toward the establishment
of an auxiliary postal Telegraph service,
and that various telegraph officials have
been called to Washington by Mr.. Wanna
maker, in order that he might lay before
them some projected details of the
scheme. DR.. Green was party to this
conference aud has besn quoted in an
interview aneut the same. He is re-
ported as saying: II consider the idea
rather crude, and one that need hardly
have come up for discussion"
and adding that such q service would
be distinctly second class one
which would be- of little use 20 those who
use the Telegraph the most and to whom
ptomptitude is most important. 1t Is,
however, he says, the extension of the
telegraph service that forms the chief
feature OF MIR. WanamAker's scheme.
There are at present about 50 900 post
offices in the country. About 10000
have telegraph service. This leaves
10000 without such service. Mr.. Wanna
maker would have the telegraph com
panies extend their lines so as to reach
these 40, 600 offices, or the most OF them.
Dr. Green said that Of the 10 900 receiv.
ing Offices which the company now has,
about two.thirds were proftless. We're
there anything to be gained by extending
the lines the company would have under
taken it. DR.. Green was very much in
clined to doubt. the financial success of
extending the lines to 10000 little
places in order to make the blessings of
the telegraph service well nigh universal
for the people,"

A village In New Casrle county, Dsla-

riot, the result OF Hungarian importation.
As usual, this was Saturday night affair,
probably is enough to set an ordinary man
crazy, was the exciting cause; but the
bloody conflict which followed Is only the
legitimate result Of the growing race hatred
which is developed wherever the Hun
comes into contact with American or Amer
icanized labor. These wretched people
are almost everywhere proving themselves
to be an exceedingly undesirable addition
to our population. They have no ideas OF
citizenship and Its obligations, but are
simply here as SO many leeches, to suck a
certain amount Of material prosperity from
the country, then to carry It away with
them to live In idleness and vice the rest Of
their lives.

A VERY MAGNETIC YOUNG MAN.
His Great Ability TO Make Things Stick
to Him.
From The NetD York Sun.


BALTIMORE, Dec. 4.-Louis, the l6-year-
old son Of Philip Hamburger, is possessed
of mysterious power, which is puzzling
scientific men. This power enables him To
make objects of considerable weight adhere
TO his finger tips, contact only being neces4
sary. The young man, who is quite small,
has been studying chemistry some tima
at the Maryland College OF Pharmacy,
and has shown his parents and frieds
some astonishing feats and bits OF
magic. By merely pressing bis fully dis
tended fingers against heavy cane, he
holds IL suspended In air for IA long time.
He is also able, by placing the balls Of three
fingers against the side Of a glass tube, to
raise the weight of five pounds attached
thereto. He says he has always remarked
a peculiar feeling when touching small OBJ
jects which are wet or greasy, and in
order TO get the best results ia his expert
ments he must have DO n the hands and
objects dry and very clean. For this pur-
pose he always washed his fingers In alcohol
and ether and wipes them and the OBJECTS
dry.
In tho presence of friends he gave an ex-
hibition of his powers. The first expert
ment was TO place a number of pins around
the palm Of his hands and on the tips OF his
fingers. On holding the palms vertically,
the pins are found TO drop only after a
long time He next showed his ability to-
pick up from the table, by pressing his dry
finger tips against 1t, any highly polished,
smooth body, such as a pencil or pen
Much more striking, however, was the
manner in which a pen, held perpendicu-
arly, stuck to the ends Of his fingers.
Both hands have the same remarkable
power, though the right one does the better
work. The tips OF the fingers, which are
more than usually fieshy, are capable OF the
greatest feats. Ho touched his fingers
against a glass tube three-quarters OF au
inch in diameter, and they stuck with such
force that, as he pulled them away from 10
one after another, there was click. The
end of the tube thus raised was freighted
with a plaster Of paris block, and on this
were gradually piled leaden weights until
5% pounds were reached. This he was able
to raise with open palms.
The Young man loses control OF his secret
force when the objects become damp by
perspiration or otherwise, and can only
show its action ON very smooth bodies.
Prof. William Simon of the Maryland Col
| lege of Pharmacy has developed whatever
| strength and remarkable powers the young
| man displays from the very smallest Begin
nings He has hopes Of making him perform
vet more wonderful feats. At present he ia
| engaged in experimenting with him In a
| scientific manner in order to present the
| case to the public in technical journal
| He has called tho attention of a number OF
| medical specialists in this city to the case
and all are at loss to give an adequate ex-
| PLANTATION.
On Dec. IL young Hamburger, accom-
panied by his preceptor, will give an exhibit
| ton Of his remarkable powers before the
| Scientific Association Of the Johns Hopkin,
| University.

tower runs serpentiue tube commuri-
eating with a wheel something like that in
dredger. A marble is dropped on the
tower and runs either into the tube or
back into the tower. In the latter event
it counts nothing. Should it drop on TO the
wheel, it may be whirled into a number of
higher or lower denomination, which
counts so much, till the winni z number is
reached. This toy is n mate with the

One of the best Of the new parlor games,
and one that can be played By adults as
well as the little ones, is the Turtle Game. ~
On large turtle she'll about three feet long
by two feet wide, are five small knobs at
which ball is thrown from distance of
ten feet. When the knobs are struck, the
head of the turtle pops out and so also do
the legs and the tail. The game can be
played in a parlor, and is a capital amuse-
meat for Willing away an hour that might
otherwise pass rather duly. The turtle and
its belongings cost 81 80.
These are merely few Of the thousand
and one attractive inventions that have
been introduced TO the market, this holiday
season, for the pleasure of the little folks.
Some are imported, others arc of domes-
tic origin, and all, without exception, are
far above the average Of mechanical TOYS
in former years. Formerly, Switzerland
Germany and France supplied the Ameri-
can market with toys, and, indeed, with
almost everything IN the way Of holiday
novelties. Now, our own manufacturers
are turning out articles that are equal to
anything produced abroad In toys,
as in everything else requiring real
mechanical ingenuity, American talent is
asserting itself, and soon we may turn the
tables and supply the children of the old
world with their Christmas gifts, just as
they have done to us in the past. There is
| hardly an object in animate nature that has
not been initiated by American toymakers,
from babies to beetles, and from bears to
bull-frogs. Horses, goats, monkeys,
fishes, are all reproduced with their
characteristic sounds and movements by
the use OF ingeniously contrived machinery.
These with the innumerable games and
toys of other kinds that are now produced
in such abundance here, make the Ameri-
can boy and girl the best supplied children
in the world With all that goes to make
childhood pleasant and enjoyable and the
Christmas holiday time Of unalloyed de.
light. q. II. SANDIsoN.

Domestic Service in the South.



There are too many low-grade cooks,
dirty nurses and lazy housegirls. They
have demoralized the better class Of negro
servants, TO be found here before the war,
and at that time one Of the features Of
southern households. Domestic service has
been dragged down to the level Of the
rough plantation hands, who pour into the
cities, and who are ready TO begin cooking
for a family without ever having seen
stove in their lives. They work at place
a month and then leave it for another, and
the domestic history Of most families In the
south to-day is steady succession OF in
competent negro servants. We are suffer
ing on the servant question as much as the
people of New England. They from lack
OF domestics, we from an excess, which has
thoroughly demoralized all, and dragged
the good down 20 the level of the worst IL
we could ship annually some 10000 or even
100. OD0 negro servants north il would be
better for all hands Perhaps our northern
friends can make something out Of them,
and we would certainly improve domestic
service here with fewer, but better. cooks,
lnurses and housegIras.
