'The special providence that seems to
hover over drunken mea and children has
something of an explanation, " said well
known and eminent medical man to re-
porter. in the fact Of the main cause Of
the breakage of bones from falls being
from a resistance OF the tendons more
often than from the violence OF the shock
incident to the'actual fal. A child or an
intoxicated person will rarely endeavor
with any great efToV: 10 recover their bal
ance when they slip or topple over Hence
no special resisting { Gee is exercised, and
they sink into a collapsed heap without
serious injury. When an adult in posses
sion Of his sound senses undertakes, with
endless contortions ard gyrations, TO save
himself from going down, he draws every
muscle aud sinew taut and if the wrench
is too severe the bone breaks. There Is
no Wy OF definitely proving il, but 1t Is
asserted, and believe with some show OF
truth, that some, a. least, of the fractures
resulting from falls, especially from a
height. happen before the actual shock
with the substance one falls on occurs.
It's strange, but guess it is the truth"

p,oodod Racer. Pluck.

A blooded racer possesses ono essential
quality that scrub horses seldom have
pluck. You will find many common
horses that possess fine points, 80 far as
wind, muscle and structure are concerned;
but in Il race they will nearly always
throw up their tails and give up in disgust
il passed by AN adversary, or il they feel
like they can't win. Flora Temple, the
queen II trotters in her day, was an ex-
ception to this rule. She never knew
what it was to be beaten, and always put
forth her utmost efforts until the driver
commanded her to slRcken her speed. A
race horse is like Ea5necock in that he
must have nerve to supplement his nat
ural powers. There are blooded animals
that will go their level best until they
drop. 1t is useless to use whip on that
kind of an animal; they are born fighters,
and exult as much in n victory as their
owners. Such racers also have superior
intelligence, and il they are not too high
strung they can be trained in the arts and
tricks of the turf. AL blooded animals
TO not possess pluck, however, and such
as are lacking in this quality are more tit
for the plow than the track.-"Jockey"

GRACE Greenwood's democracy.

There are few women who can put
truth more fOrcibly or clearly than Grace
Greenwood. Being asked a few days
since whether she had found foreign girls
superior TO the American girl, the brill
liant authoress responded: "Such ques-
tions as that are fired at me, point blank,
almost every day. Think of these ques
tions-aN Of which have been asked Of
me: DO YOU still, after oil the mon
archical splendors you have seen, believe
in a republican government? Did not
the grand procession of royalties at the
nueen's jubilee stagger your democracy
do you approve, as You once did, of our
free institutions, and feel proud OF The
privileges we grant to women and the
Difference we pay themY How do you
like America now, after seeing so much or
Europe and its government
''Such questions are little better than In
suits. / might as well be asked plainly
If, after mingling a little in conservative
and aristocratic foreign society, l had
turned snob, after the custom of consuls
and the manner of ministers; or IL l was
ready to stultify myself by opposing the
higher education and the political rights
of women. If the best of earthly friends
the one dearest and most revered, wer~
living, l should hardly be surprised to be
questioned by some one: After an nc
uuaintance with the English mamma, tha
French mere and the Italian madra, what
do you think OF your motherP 1t is
very evident from this forcible reply that
America has at least one among its famous
and brilliant women whose republican
principles foreign travel and associations
have not changed. j. Box IN

Documents of Historical Interest.

The archives of the government are
kept in the library OF the department OF
state, and constitute vast collection or
precious documents There are great
many OF historical interest. The first
draft of the Declaration of Independence
and Of the federal constitution are here
preserved. Washington's commission as
Commander-in-chief of the American
army, and host of documents pertaining
to the revolution and the early days OF
the government are TO be seen. The let
teTs and papers OF Washington, Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe and some Of the
other presidents are preserved IN large
volumes, many of the manuscripts APP
bearing as clean and distinct as II writ
ten yesterday. Autograph letters from
kings and queens, princes, statesmen and
historical persouages who have fourished
during the past 100 years are to be found
in these collections. Here are the origi-
nal copies OF all the laws enacted by con-
gress, and Of all the treaties made by the
United States with foreign nations, from
the first, with France, 1878, and the sec
ond, with England-the treaty OF peace,
bearing the date of Sept. 3, l7o3-down TO
those Of recent years.
One treaty with Turkey is gorgeously
embellished with golden letters, but the
most unique treaty in the collection is one
with Japan, which is contained in costly
lacquered case covered with silk. The
quaint japanese characters, covering
many pages of fine paper, are clearly and
boldly portrayed. The royal signature
appears ut the top and you read from the
bottom. The treaty was brought to
Washington by two officers Of high rank,
who were charged with its safe delivery
on peril of their lives. One day they tri-
Umphantly marched into the department
of state bearing aloft on bamboo poles
qsleerly constructed box, in which was
the important document, Glad indeed
we're they to have escaped the disastrous
chances of land and sea, and when the
royal agreement finally passed into the
hands of the secretary Of state they APP

Capacity and Hoaesty-what Mr.. oIeve
lands Tenure of Office Has Demon
strated.
BALTIMORE, Md, February 10 The
Sun will tomorrow publish review Of
Presidsnt ClevelaDd's administration, OBJ
tanned from series of interviews with
members OF his Cabinet. 1t is mainly as
follows:
So perfect has been the harmony between
the President and members of his Cabinet
that the absence of friction has given rise
TO the impression among some of those who
are familiar with Mr.. Cleveland's posi-.
tiveness of character aud bis firm and de-
cided views upon every subject he has
studied, that his rugged personality has
dwarfed various members of his official
family and reduced them to the condi-
tion OF mere agents of bis indi-
vidual will and pleasure A very
slight personal acquaintance with the sev-
eral heads of the departments, and the
most casual observation of their relations
to the President will serve to convince any
one not blinded by prejudice that this the
ory is untenable.
The true secret of the absence of jealous
les and dissensions and of efforts TO ad-
vance mere individual interests or preten-
tions among the Cabinet officers is to be
found in the fact that one and all have
been sctuated by the spirit which has DOM
mated Mr.. Cleveland's course-tbat OF
aubordinstiDg personal consideration to the
desire TO give the country an administra-
tiOn of the highest grade.
With a record of administrative capacity
aud honesty to which it may point with
pride, the Dem ocracy at the close of Mr..
Cleveland's tenure of Office, finds itself
the representative before the people OF
administrative economy, undetermined OPP
position TO sectioDslism and encroschment
upon the autonomy of individual States
and of discrimination in favor of any race
or class at the expense of the people as a

Pigott Claimed That lie Was Offered
c1,OOO II he SwOre lie had Forged the
Parnell Letters
LONDON, February 15.-Mr. Parnell
was present at to.day's session of the Par.
nell Commission. Mr.. SOames, solicitor OF
the Times, was further cross-exsmined.
He offered in evidence a schedule of ali
the signatures of Mr.. Psrnell that he pos
sessed. He said that Mr.. Parnel's writ
ing varied materially, and produced let
ter in which Mr., Parnell's name was writ
ted in six different ways.
Presiding Justice Hsnnen ordered that
the letter be photographed.
Continuing, witness denied that he heard
that Pigott, the League clerk he inter
viewed in Ireland, had grievance against
Mr., Parnell. Pigott, he said, had made a
statutory declaration that Solicitor Lewis
had offered him !, 900 pounds if he would
swear that he had forged the letters said 10
have been written by Mr.. Psrnell. The
TImes,paid PigOtt only forty or fifty pounds
The witness bad Pigott watched end traced
him into the company of Mr.. Lsbouchere.
He paid Houston, Secretary of the Irish
Loyal and Patriotic Union, altogether 3, coo
pounds.
Upon redirect examination Mr.. Soames
said that no bargain was made when the
letters were first brought to the Times.
Their genuineness was to be tested before
any payment was made.
Mr.. Soames and Pigott told him of in
terviews he had with Solicitor Lewis and
La
several ten pound notes. One of these
notes were forwarded to Ireland and there
redir6cted to London. Witness produced
copy Of the liter which accompanied it.
1t had never occurred to witness to ask
Pigott how he had acquired the letters.
Neither had he asked Houston. Pigott
showed witness letter from Solicitor
Lewis accusing him (PIgott) Of having ad
mitted that he forged the letters and his
reply; wbereupon witness required that
the statutory declaration be made, in
which Pigott detailed all the communica-
tions between himself and Solicitor Lewis,
including the offer of l, 900 pounds by Mr.
Lewis, on behalf CT Mr.. Labouchere, il he
would swear that he had forged the letters
This statement caused sensation in the
court room.
Continuing, Mr.. SOames said that Pigott
did not tell him Of the correspondence he
had had with Archbishop Walsh, Of Dub
lin, regarding the letters. He had never
heard of this correspondence until he heard
it mentioned in Court last evening. Be-
sides Mr.. Inglis, Mr.. Soames said, the
Times engaged Messrs. Birch and Ellis as
L. N
six pence, but knew that Pigott had asked
Houston for 5000 pounds on the ground
that it would be impossible for him to live
in Dublin after giving evidence for the
Times, and that he wanted to make some
provision for himself. Witness told him
he could not listen to such n suggestion,
but that he (Pigott) might rest satisfied
that the Times would never see him ruined
through his honestly testifying to all he
knew.

A STRANGE CASE OF RABIES.

The Victim, Fisherman, lays He Was
Never Bitten by Dog.
New ORLEANS, February 15.-A mid
dle.aged man, named Frank Woods, called
at the Charity Hospital Wednesday night
for treatment.
He said he was q fisherman, and was
suffering from terrible pains in his head,
threat and chest He acted strangely and
often would clutch at his throat. Shortly
after going to bed he was seized with coz
vulsions, and showed every symptom of
hydrophobia.
The man was chained to the bed, and
when he recovered sufficiently to talk said
that he had never been bitten by dog
but had often run fish hooks in his hand
and had been finned by fish. About mid
night he grew rapidly worse. He became
so violent that, notwithstanding his chains,
it required two men to hold him. His
hands were not tied, and while in convnl-
sions he would gasp his throat and emit
sounds that greatly resembled the growl of
a dog. Dr.. Miles says the man is suffer
ing from a well developed case of rabies.
