rings Sea fisheries, and England
can't say a word in earnest about
the matter. Russia stands ready
to make good our title derived by
purchase from her. Great Britain
cannot afford to antagonize two
great nations-Russia and the
United States. There is no doubt
about Russia's disposition in the
matter. They guaranteed US a
title and England cannot seriously
question that title without antago-
nizing Russia. This is all well
understood in England, as well, as
in Russia and America. !.
The President has had a very
busy time since his return last
Thursday and I dare say he is
heartily glad that he is to start for
Bar Harbor, to pay Mr. Blaine a
visit soon. The politicians
seemed to recognize this as their
only opportunity to get at the
President before the fall, and they
made the most of it. Every min
ute Of his available time, and
much that would not have been
available, except for his good
natured desire to give all a hear
ing, has been taken up by his
callers. Washington has suddenly
found herself as full of prominent
republicans as in March. The
result is quite a large batch OF
appointments and more are expect
ed tonight or tomorrow before
the President leaves. Among the
most important appoint
ments were ex-Gov. Yarmouth, oil
Louisiana, to be Collector of the
port Of New Orleans; John t
Patty, of Louisiana, IA colored
mani to be Naval officer at New
Orleans, and ]. R. G. Pitkin, o.
Louisiana, to be minister to the
Argentine Republic.

Unrest, hurry, is a bad characteristic
of these times. We do everything by tel
egraph. We live as well as travel by the
lightning express. The late Sir Henry
Holland, n polyglot man, in a charming
book of personal r~ecollections covering
sixty years OF the Nineteenth century,
says: People walk faster in London
streets than they did when / first knew
them. And this augmented speed of
locomotion is carried into every depart
ment of life-politics, art, literature,
and social existence. The
charm of tranquil leisure is less and less
sought after"
This, which is true the world over, is
truest of all in our country. Like the
old Mississippi steamboats,, we are built
on the high pressure principles; and, like
them, we are liable TO blow up. This
hurry makes business harassing and
wearing. Dur merchants die at the top,
in insane retreats. 1t ruins home life,
for that demands repose. The home
should be q breathing spot, a place I'M
invaded by fret and sacred to peace. Go
slow. You will get there just the same
and ave your health and prolong your
life in the bargain.-St. Louis Republic.

Spokane Falls new Line.

The Union Pacific railway, having com.

rect to that point. thus forming the
most desirable route from the east on ac.
count OF its Pullman Palace sleeping

D,an Colonist S~leepers.
Spokane Falls is situated in the Palouse
country and Is the distributing center for
a section Of the Northwest. the resources
of which are unlimited. As an ~illustra-
ton: $4,000 bushels of wheat have been
raised from ] 900 acres of land. Another
feature of the country greatly conducive
to the raising OF crops, is the ~rainless
harvests, no rain falling while crops are
being harvested.
Many desirable farms may yet be had
in this remarkably productive region on
reasonable terms, and a more favorable
opportunity for procuring a farm cheap
will not soon present itself again.

The InterlIrent Horso.

The horse will leave musty hay I'M
touched in his bin, no matter how hun
CRY. He will not drink of water objec-
tionable to his questioning shifts or from
a bucket which some other odor makes
offensive, however thirsty. His intelli-
gent nostrils will widen, CULVER, and
query over the daintiest bit offered by
the fairest of hands. A mare is never
satisfied by either sight or whinny that
her colt is really her own until she has
certified the fact by means OF her nose.
Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly
about a pasture without striking the sur
rounding fence. The sense of smell in
forms them of its proximity. Others
will, when loosened from the stable, go
directly to the gate or bars opening to
their accustomed feeding grounds, and,
when desiring to return, after hours of
careless wandering, will distinguish the
INT outlet and patiently await its open
ing. The odor of that particular part of
the fence is their guide to it.-Exchange.

A resident of this city had a corn on
the middle toe of his left foot, which had
bothered him greatly for many years.
One morning he could bear it no longer
and adopted a unique and sudden method
of getting rid of it.
He obtained a rifle and fastened 1t
firmly, muzzle downward. on a board set
for the purpose. Then he laid a board
down under it and fired it twice. The
bullet entering the board Mt exactly the
same point each time convinced him that
the rifle was firmly fixed and properly
adjusted, and his next move was to place
his bare foot on the board 30 that the
corn on his toe came directly over the
bullet hole.
This matter being arranged to his sat
~isfaction, he got n friend, who was pres
ent during the preliminary operations, to
pull the trigger. The result fully equaled
IL 1t did not exceed his expectations.
The bullet went through his toe and car
ried the corn with it, leaving a large
ragged hole. which viii be quite likely
TO give him as much trouble as did the
corn.
He refused to have a physician and
says a bullet hole is better than a corn
any day.-Concord Monitor.
