publican who is now the president
elect Of these United States, comes
with very poor grace and seems to
be adding insult to attempted injury.
These men have earned only the con-
tempt of all honest republicans, and
all honest democrats as well. The
greatest political demagogue of any
age is Carl SchurZ, repudiated by his
own countrymen in America and de-
spised wherever he is known. The
most cowardly blow ever struck at
the republican party was by its Cur
tises who assumed its livery to be-
tray its trusts, and while saying, hail
master gave it the kiss OF betrayal.
These men are not republicans. The
man who deserts party to aid it,
and betrays it to reform it has no far
ther claim upon it, and when the
republican party enters the national
capitol next March to resume posses
sion of that from which they were de-
posed four years since by the efforts of
Schurz, Curtis & Co., it will be but
meet, right and the bounden duty of
those who keep the gates of the ma
tional party to exclude these traitors
from any participation in its councils,
any voice in it's affairs. They are dead
as republicans. So long dead that
they are more mal-OdorOus than
Martha said her brother Lazarus was

Better leave them in the political
graves which they have dug for them
selves and let Cleveland as chief
mourner write this, their epitaph:
Here lie the bones of two great Cs-sirs;
In n respect were either Caesars:
More curt than ever lies poor Curtis
While Schurz in shroud instead of shirt IS.
Unhallowed evermore the dirt is
Which beds the bones of Carl and Curtis.

thermometers.

The earliest account we have Of an inStru
ment for measuring the heat or cold Of the
atmosphere is that noticed by the ''Spiritalia'
of Hero, about l50 B. C. The use of mercury
in the tube was suggested by HALEY, about
1851, and first practically carried out BY
Fahrenheit, a native of DantZic-at the time
his invention was completed an instrument
maker at Amsterdam He divided the space:
between the freezing and boiling points Of
water INTO $50 degs., and commenced tht
graduation of his scale at the point to which
the mercury fell when the bulb was treated
to mixture of salt and pounded ice. The
salt and ice made the lowest degree Of colo
known to the experimenter or any OF hi:
scientific friends, and was, on this account
termed Zero" 1t is a generally received
idea that the zero point on the Fahrenheit
Thermometer was so named because of its cor
responding to the lowest degree Of cold known
on the shores Of the Baltic sea, the native
home Of Fahrenheit, but this is as erroneou:
as several other popular ideas respecting the
temperature scale.
It is simply, as already related, the Lowest
degree OF artificial cold known to the inven
tor Of the useful little instrument The
freezing point of water was marked at 3.
degs above Zero because it corresponded K
81 of the $50 equal spaces marked by the in.
ventor on his scale before any Of the points
had been named.
About $50 Reaumur, of France, used spirits
of wine and adopted the freezing and boiling
points as The two standards Of his scale. The
space between these was divided into 50 degs
The freezing is the zero point Of the Reaumul
thermometer, the graduations extending
each way. The Reaumur was the standard
thermometer of France until the time of the
revolution of 1859, when it was superseded
by the centigrade, the invention of Swedish
astronomer named Celsino. The centigrade
thermometer marks 100 degs. between the
freezing and the boiling points of water. L

Ideas Of a Future Life.

The Iroquois and Hurons believed in a
country for the souls of the dead, which they
called the country Of ancestors" This is
to the west, from which direction their ira
ditions told that they had migrated. Spirits
must go there after death by very long and
painful journey, past many rivers, and al
the end of narrow bridge fight with dog
like Cerberus, and some may fall into the
water and be carried away over precipices
This road is all on the earth: but several Of
the Indian tribes consider the milky way tc
be the path of souls, those of human beings
forming the main body of the stars, and
their dogs, which also have souls, running on
the sides. In the next world the Indians dc
the same as they customarily do here, but
without life's troubles.
The ISraelites believed in doubling Of the
person by shadow, a pale figure, which
after death descended under the earth and
there led a sad and gloomy existence. The
abode of these poor beings was called sheol
There was no recompense, no punishment
The greatest comfort was to be among ances-
tors and resting with them. There were
some very virtuous men whom God carried
up that they might be with him. Apart
from these elect, dead men went into torpor
Mans good fortune was to be accorded
long term of years, with children to perpetr
uate his family and respect for bis memory

On Cupids Wings.

Cupid plays rare pranks in this work
a-day world of ours, and seems to de-
light in nothing so much as in bringing
about the unexpected and improbable.
The romance of the pretty young Irish
teacher who arrived in New York the
other day with her still more youthful
pupil, whom she had persuaded to elope
with her, furnishes another interesting
chaper in amatory history. Miss Mamie
Casey, the young lady in question, is
only 21, and Johnny Dolan, with whom
she fled to this country, is only II. But
love Laughs at differences in age as he
does at locksmiths, and snaps his rosy
fingers at all our conventionalities. So
when he determined that the young
teacher and the pupil should lose their
hearts to each other they promptly
obcyed him, and regardless of every
practical consideration or previous tie,
flew on the wings of affection and the
staunch steamer Servia to a land
where they fondly hoped cruel
parents could not follow. Tn.
fortunately the cable has no sympathy

could not be detained and the collector
of the port mas finally decided that if
she will share her future with johnny
he need not go back. AS she has come
here for that purpose there can be 10
doubt that she will joyfully accept the

Irish girl deserves husband and if she
likes to instruct her pupil in the art of

Danger in the Match,

Savannah cotton men have discovered
that there is great danger in the parlor
match, many of the mysterious cotton
fires which have occurred at that port
being ascribed to its use, md it is seri-
ously proposed that the General Assem-
bly, now in session shall prohibit by law
the use or sale Of parlor matches IN that
State. The Savannah Ne,rs says:
There is talk of raising the insur-
ance rates on cotton, or abandoning
risks at this port if cotton fires con-
tinue. Exclude the parlor match, which
IS dangerous wherever it is used, and
the fires will be less frequent. The only
way to exclude them is to make it un.
lawful to buy or sell them in the State.
Sometimes when one strikes the
parior match the exploding illuminate
will Gy half way across 4 room. often
uanoticcd. and many OF the fires in
stores and residences are to be ascrlbed
to the use of such dangerous agencies
for striking alight The chief official of
one of the largest railroad systems in
the South has been informed that there
is real danger that rates will be advanced
on cotton coming to Savannah if the
fires continue, and the opinion is wide
spread that the parlor match has had
its share in the work of destruction" j."
1t is claimed that the only safe
matches to use arc the little blackhCad
sulphur matches. They will not flash
up when tramped upon and are the only
kind permitted to be used in the New
York hotels.

Popular SuperstitioII.

Faith in the power Of the sun, moon and
stars to act on the health has, Of course, been
held for centuries That great parsonage OF
olden time, the astrologer, would not fail tc
impress upon people this idea Of the influence
which the heavenly bodies possess over health
and disease. Very few Of these have sur.
vived up to the present time.
1t is natural that the sun should be consid'
cred the great restorer and life giver. There
is an old Jewish proverb to the effect that
when the sun rises the disease will abate.
This was founded on a tradition that pre-
cious stone was hung on the neck of Abra.
ham, and that to look upon it was to be
healed When Abraham died God placed
the stone in the sun. The remnant of thi:
superstition is found today in the saying
that if an invalid goes out for the first time
and makes a circuit, this circuit must be
with the sun; if against the sun there will be
relapse.
power to make a person crazy has given us
the word lunatic. That the soul ul>which has
till then lowered between life and death
finds its release as the tide goes out, is gen
orally accepted by many.
A great prejudice exists against the night
air, especially in veutilating sleeping rooms
the night air is by no.means so unhealthy as
many people suppose. In those places where
the soil is impure, or near waters that are
stagnant, the change occasioned by the with
drawal of the suns heat gives rise to exhala
tions that are unhealthy, but in the majority
of instances, the prejudices that exist against
night air amount to superstitious dread.

Cutting Back Plants.

Many people have an idea that plants must
not be cut back, no matter how straight and
branches they may grow. | read in pop
ular periodical protest from one of these
people against cutting back fuchsias, saying
that sit was altoSetL-.' wrong and injured

years we have cut back all fuchsias that did
not of themselves grow bushy. Additions
are generally disposed to grow tall and
branchless, and 50 when they are about ten
inches in height We behead them about three
inches Directly two branches start out,
and when several inches grown we cut them
back. Two, sometimes three, branches start
forthwith.
Then we allow the plant to grow and bud
until quite large, when we frequently do
little pruning. 1t is then that, by cutting
back plants, we delay the blooming period,
but when it does come we have flowers on
ta!f dozen or more branches, instead of one

HAND TO HAND WITH A BEAR.
Gus VOLTS Exciting Contest With Colo
rado Brute.

CoTAPAxIE, Col, October 81 Big
Gus Wolf, we'll known in the Wood
River country, Is around here with his
head and face covered with bandages
and plasters. The cause of this is a
terrible contest which he had with a
very large bear a week ago. 1t ap-
pears he was up the Knickklnick Greek
about seven miles after deer. He had
shot deer, when, on looking around.
he saw a bear following him. He took
a shot at him and rushed down the hill
upon him. Gus shot five times at the
bear without stopping his progress.
After he had discharged all his car
tridges and the bear had come into close
contact with him, he used his gun As q
club until it was knocked from
him. Before this hand. to. hand
combat began the bear had
his left shoulder broken by one
of the shots, part of which passed
through the lungs. This left the bear
with only one paw to fight with, but
that was enough to enable him to tear
away the flesh from the cheek of Mr..
Wolf and let all the flesh of his lower
jaw hang down over his throat to his
breast Gus, in describing the fight,
tells of how he first tried to run away
from the bear after the animal was so
wounded as to have but three legs He
describes how the bear caught his right
hand in his jaw, holding it till Gus
gouged the bear in the eye with his left
forefnger, making the brute let go, and
then how the bear grasped his left wrist.
Gus finally reached out with his light
hand and got rock, with which he
beat the bear over the head, and then
they rolled down the hill together, the
bear falling. into the creek. Gus then
managed to get loose and ran, soon
reaching camp, and his associates at
once went for surgeon, who sewed up
his face, making eighteen stitches and
using lots of plaster and bandage cot
ton. The next day some men went out
to the scene Of the contest and found
the bear dead, but still warm, lying
about forty yards from where the fight
took place. The bear weighed ABOUT
400 pounds.
