A Family of Cranks.

There resides in Urbana. Ohio, a
veritable family of cranks. Their
names is Glenn, and two sisters and
brother are now living. Years ago
the father bought coats for the boys,
but neglected one of his sons, John,
Jr., whereupon the boy said he would
never wear coat as long as his faith
er lived. He went upstairs to his
room, where he remained until four
teen years after, when the father died.
The house was afterwards painted all
over with the most grotesque and
curious designs. While John, the
peculiar, and brother were disput-
ing about these designs, the brother
said; "John, wish you would go up
stairs and stay there" John did so,
remaining as before for four years,
coming down to attend the brothers.
funeral. John, the recluse, is bleach
ed as white as woman, because of
his long confinement. He is sixty
five years old A sister has charge
of the finances, but the sisters and
brother live a secluded life, never
mingling with the world without.

A Clear Case of Mistaken Identity.

A gentleman who lives near AL
bany, Ca, had not received his pa
per regularly. The gentleman wrote
to the editor of the paper complain
ing, and received in reply letter
saying that Uncle Sam had been en-
joying Christmas, and probably that
accounted for the irregularity of the
mail. The letter was read to the
postmaster at the place where the
complainant lived, who, as it hap
pened, was named Sam, and, as he
was quite old, was sometimes called
Uncle Sam. When the letter had
been finished the postmaster, with
tears springing to his eyes, said !:
"Yes, | had been drinking the day
that man was here, and he smelled
it on me; l wouldn't have that hap
pen for anything" This was clear
case of mistaken identity.

HANDS orr, GERMANY.

The action Of Germany in ruthless
ly insulting American citizens, on
the island of Samoa, and driving them
from their homes, is breech of in
ternational law, and a departure from
established comfy to which the Uni
ted States should not submit. Sa-
moa is a group of South Pacific Is
lands, barren and unproductive, saw
ing three-Sawaii, Tuteila and 'Upo-
lu-which are productive and have
a population Of about 10000. These
people are Industrious. intelligent
and Christianized, with q govern
ment under a native king They
have been free. Our government
has always favored their indepen-
dence, but Germany and England
have both desired to have these is
lands annexed to their dominions.
BY treaty, America, England and
Germany have each equal rights and
privileges. Germany is DESTROYS of
obtaining the controlling power in
the islands, and in order to do this
has driven the rightful king, Taupe-
pa, to Marshall Islands, and seeks to
place the affairs of government in
the hands Of a rebel and usurper.
In the furtherance of this scheme,
Germany has grossly insulted and
outraged the rights of our govern
ment and treated with contempt the
privileges and security of her citi-
zens domiciled at Samoa After a
war of words, the Secretary of State
has decided to send war-ships to the
scenes of disturbance, to afford them
protection.
This is the condition of affairs
There is no reason for war, if Ger
many will act in accordance with
right and comfy. But if she insists
in trying to crush the independence
of the Samoans, and because she is
strong and avaricious, tramples their
manhood and our rights under foot,
then Uncle Sam will demand of her
to take her hands off. Ifshe refuses
it Will be bad thing for her. The
Monroe doctrine is still a vital ele-
ment in the American government.
and it will never permit foreign ma
tons to encroach upon nations at
peace with us, and from whom we
derive benefit and in whom we have
an interest. Hands off, Germany.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
New York sam recently, in abiding to
a pile Of bills ons Dan Lannon's table
awaiting Presidential signature, told
this little story: "The other object Of
national interest on Col. Lamont's desk
was little oId-fashioned Bible in
shiny covers of black enamel. On the
uppermost cover, in a little space left
on purpose, was the name of IS. G..
Cleveland Lifting the cover revealed
a line or two of writing in a neat, pre-
else, feminine hand declaring that the
book was a gift to S. G. Cleveland
from his loving mother. Col Lamont
said that he first saw the book on Mr.
CIeveland's table in Buffalo before he
became Governor. Afterward, in Al
bany, he saw It again whenever he en-
tered the Governors private apart
ments. When the Governor was about
to become President Col Lamont alb
straeted the book, and giving it to
Chief Justice Waite asked him if he
would not be so kind as to use that
particular Bible in swearing IN the
Chief Magistrate. That. then, was the
little black book that 10000 or more
men and women saw him lift to his lips
on the Capitol steps four year ago. On
the last fyleaf of that homely little
Bible is now the attestatiOn of the
Clerk of the Supreme Court Of the
United States that It was used for this
ceremony. The book was given to the
President when he was little boy be
fore he dropped-as he did in boyhood

A gentleman attached to q foreign
legation who has seen q good deal of
New York City remarked that he was
continually surprised at the number of
vacuOus and pOmpous-lOoking youths
who crowd the doorways at public
balls and receptions. "I never see
them anywhere else" he said, "and
apparently they live in evening dress.
There are eighty or a hundred of
them, and they all seem precisely
alike. They have narrow shoulders,
slim figures, and some of them affect a
single glass. They crowd around the
doorways and stare stupidity at the
women without making the faintest eff
fort to Join the spirit of the occasion or
render themselves useful to the host
ess. Further than this, they seem so
remarkably 1I-bred. A dozen times
this winter 1 have made an ass of my
self by presuming to address these
sons of vacuity. When I CHANGED to
be among them in a doorway, or was
moved by some unconscious impulse, I
ventured to speak just as a man would
in society or anywhere else in the
world to my nearest neighbor. I was
invariably rewarded by a stare, and an
answer which would be a stretch Of
truth to be called civil. It is not to
be wondered at that American young
men are so unpopular abroad One
can afford to be snubbed by q Duke,
but nobody viii swallow an insult from
a man who has not social position,
wealth, or wit to recommend him. -

AT the great inauguration ball, May
z, 1889, when Washington became Pres

a present of a beautiful fan, made in

ed, between the hinges and the elegant
paper covering, an admirable medal
lion portrait of Washington in profile.

blue shoes with rose-colored rosettes.
