THERE was no man in Wisconsin who
did more for the republican party last
fall than did Congressman Guenther.
He worked in season and out of season
for Harrison and naturally wants his re-
ward seeing that the workers mainly
the newspaper men-are reaping rich
harvest. But Guenther is ignored. If
he was nonentity, if he had no power
in Wisconsin his being set aside could
easily be understood. AS it is it looks
very much like snub. Whatever he
gets will have come SO tardily and re-
luctantly that it will not have much hon

TRAIN robbers have by no means quit
their vocation in Missouri since the
death of Jesse James. On Sun
day last two young fellows boarded train
near Harlem and robbed the passengers
on a sleeper. On their way to another
coach they encountered the conductor
who promptly broke his lantern over the
head of one of them. Both fired at hin
but he escaped unhurt. They then leap
ed from the train. The robbers secured
in all S175 and two gold watches.

Mrs. LUCY PARSONS has espoused the
cause of the starving miners with the
effect that contributions for their aid
have at once ceased. At mass meeting
called to raise funds for the benefit of the
miners she appeared as one of the speak
ers. The others who were to address the
people refused to speak, but Lucy went
on and delivered the old TRADE against
law. When a subscription was taken up
there was not enough raised to pay the
hall rent. It is hard on the miners to
have their cause thus brought into dis
repute by gang who would not con-
tribute one cent for their relief.

The republican papers are quite hber-
al IN praise of Theodore Roosevelt. He
deserves all the good things they say OF
him. But they say them simply because
he IS making It uncomfortable for hold
over democratic officials. Wait until he
gets after republicans and it will be
found that he is not near SO conscientious
an oiiicer as he is now described.

An invention halls from New Orleans
for v&.ch very remarkable powers are
claimed. THE device embodies mech
anism by means Of which music, as it is
played on the piano or similar instru-
ment, may be indicated on paper so that
1t may be reproduced as desired, thus
enabling one improvising music to have
the music written a. ii is played in such
"A manner chat it may be read and trans
lated into the characters ordinarily en-
ployed in writing music.
The invention is said to consist in the
combination in the harmonigraph OF the
markers and connecting rods arranged
tor engagement by the keys OF the piano
or other similar instrument, on the key
and may be transmitted to the marker.
In the combination is also embodied
tone marker and a measure marker.
some Of the finest ideas Of the impromptu
player on the piano appear to be the
most evanescent. What composer, while
abandoning himself to the flow of happy
extemporiZation, has not longed for
some means OF catching the exquisite
melody or the superb orchestral effect,
and recording it before its form and
beauty have become impaired and lost?
II the harmonigraph can do this, it is
truly u wonderful invention, and one
which will be received with gratitude by
the whole musical world.-EXchange

Recognition in Birds.

A correspondent writing to Mature"
from Canea, Crete, records curious in
stance of instinct in birds, which is by
no means singular.
A gardener living in Zukaleria, three
miles from Canea, caught a young but
fully-hedged sparrow in his garden,
which he brought to the house Of a
friend, with whom he and his family are
staying in Canea.
He presented the bird to one of the
ciildren in the house, it was put in a
ca. g and hung in the window, and after
few hours it lost its fright and became
placid.
1t was early in the morning when 1t
was caught, and late in the afternoon
an old bird was noticed fluttering about
the cage, apparently trying to get at the
little one, while the young one was max
ing frantic efforts to get out to the old
one. l was evidently the mother Of the
young bird, as the recognition was too
cordial to have been owing to the inter
est OF strange bird.
On the cage being opened they both
flew off rapidly in the direction OF Zula-
keria, from which tho old bird must have
traced its nesting by some instinct, AZ
/; is impossible she had followed the
gardener, or she would have been OBJ
served earlier in the day.

Mind Destroying Drugs.

An insanity specialist, in a recent con-
versation as to the number of young men
and women at present in asylums from
the use Of opium, morphine, cocaine and
kindred narcotics, stated that the sub.
iert had given him more trouble than all
other forms of insanity combined. He
said that among his patients were those
whose minds had become unbalanced
through drink, family affections, bus.
iucss losses and from other causes; but
the worst cases were those whose minds
were destroyed through the use of mar
cotics. The number Of patients from this
cause is rapidly increasing, and there
have been more men and women com
mitted during the past six months suffer
ing from dementia oeoasioned by drugs
than there were from the same cause
during the ten previous years. 1t is be-
yond question that narcotics are a more
prolific sourcr of insanity than all other
causes mbined.-EXchange

Johnny Mullen, tine Aged yvOnder OF
Oxford, Me.

Johnny Mullen is by all odds the old
est man in the region about Oxford, Me-,
and perhaps In the country, and some
facts in his long life will be Of interest.
He was born in Gowdoffe in the parish
of Movile in the north part of Ireland,
about 1870 years ago. His parents were
Charles and Bridget Mullen. He one
of four children, one brother and two
sisters. His parents were quite well TO
do. They were also linen weavers, AS
soon as Johnny was strong enough to
stand alone and tall enough to reach the
weaving harness, he was put to work
weaving He toiled at the loom until q
little over q years of age.
Then wonderful stories came to North
crn ireland of new and marvellous
country beyond the seas, where land
moro fertile than @ farmers dream was
free to all who came. Lured by this
golden vision the Mullens sold out and
crossed the ocean to st. John, N. b.
Johnny got job in saw mill in st.
John. He thinks he stopped here about
thirty wears, for u little boy he first got
acquainted with grew up into manhood,
married and ha several children before
he came away. He worked in the saw
mill summers and along the coast win
ters whom the mill did not run.
Finally he got tirod of st. John and
with two friends hired out on coaster
and came to Maine He remained in

After living in Cape Elizabeth for
awhile he went to Portland. He next

A GOETHE AYECDoTE
- xnteresting story OF the German
Thinker and Writer.

- Enterestfng story OF the German
Thinker and Writer.
THE following little story, which Is
amusing and characteristic of great
Goethe in his last years, will interest
that large portion of our cultured public
which cares for the great German thinker
and writer. Goethe was for many years
intimate with Hofrath and Professor DR..
Fr. Sigmund Voigt, and with the profess
sor's wife, born V. Loenich. The doctor
and his wife lived at Jena which is
some nine or ten English miles distant
from Weimar; and when Goethe visited
the university city, he commonly spent
his evenings with the Voigts. Goethe
was, of course, the central point Of at
traction, and an object of the greatest
reverence in the little circle which gath
cred together in the rooms of the pro-
fessor In the seventh volume Of the
"Goethe Jahrbuch" Edmund Stengel
narratos this little story of the great
man-an anecdote communicated to
Stengel by Theodor Voigt, son of the
jena professor. The probable date
would be 1880.
In his last years Goethe had become
monosyllabic and serious, and was also,
at times, very forgetful. One after
noon q Hussar from Weimar came rid
ing rapidly into J9na, and drew bride at
the door OF the professor. This Hussar
was the bearer of note from Goethe to
Voigt, in which the doctor was press
ingly invited to come to Goethe that
same evening, and it was added that g.
carriage would come for Voigt in about
an hour. Voigt, naturally, gladly
obcyed the summons, and was driven to
We,mar to wait upon the poet. Arrived
in Goethe's we'll known room, Voigt
found there, in addition to Goethe himself
Riemer, the poets secretary, Eckermann,
afterwards the poets Boswell, and one
or two other men, whose names are un-
recorded. They were all sitting round a
table, and Goethe wore a green shade
over his eyes. No one spoke word, but
each man had before him bottle of red
wine. Voigt wished to announce him
self, and to inquire what were his excel
lency's commands; but Reimer whis-
pered to him softly, "Hush EXcellency
is thinking" Silence again settled down
upon the party the men slipped their wine
noiselessly. At last, at 10 p. M, the party
broke up, Goethe dismissing his friends
with his usual formula, 81 wish my
friends good night"
The next morning EXcellency could
remember nothing about tho invitation
of Voigt. Some idea must have crossed
the poets mind which made him
desirous of seeing and speaking with
the professor, but the idea had vanished,
and had left no trace; 80 that Noigt re-
turned to Jena without having learned
why he had been so suddenly and need
lessly summoned to Weimar.- London

Frnmce,s sinkipg Fund.

The "En, irerring and Mining Journal"
describes long series OF observations
that has been carried out all over France
since the year 1884 for the purpose Of de-
tecting any variations OF level of the
sand. These observations show that a
depression from south to north is In pro-
gross. While on the coast Of the Gulf of
Lyons no alteration OF level has been
uoted on the line between Marseilles and
Lille, n stretch of $40 kilemeters, the
ground is sinking toward the north at
the various rate of three centimeters
yoarly. Should this rate Of depression
continue, northwestern France would, In
the course of a few centuries encounter
a calamity similar to that which,. at the
end of the thirteenth century, befell the
Netherlands. s.--Exchange
