There has been nothing funnier for long time
in the press of these United States than the efforts
of the newspapers of Missouri TO get together in
deciding which town in That commonwealth shall
have the Worlds Fair of 1892 For be il
known that not only is u. Louis n candidate for
the honor, but St Joseph Also this latter town
having appointed committee, and gone as
earnestly 10 work as if the name OF their city was
household word in every capital in Europe.
Then Kansas City, il seems, is guilty Of utterng
disloyal gibes" at ST. Louis All of this sorely
grieves The Republic Of the latter city. Let
us get together" it paintively cries. 1t quotes
the statement Of " The ST. Joseph Herald that
this great exhibition of the genius and produc.
tions Of the world should be held in Missouri-the
central State of the greatest Republic on earth -
and adds, more in sorrow than in anger And
such being the case, why are not the people Of
st. Joseph acting accordingly Being intelli-
gent citizens, they know perfectly well that il
the Worlds Fair is to be held in Missouri at ALL
it will be held in st. Louis" This last is a safe
statement, and ST. Joseph can bet it, The
Republic" also gives the kind assurance that St
Louis feels no jealousy Of Kansas City, ST. Joseph
or any other Missouri city, II is evident that
in the estimation of some OF our friends in the
West the sky fits down close around the borders

The action of the Board Of Estimate yester-
day in ordering the expenditure of nearly
100000 on the paving Of streets will look
to some people outside the city as if New
York were getting her house in readiness for
the visitors Of 1892. 1t will do no harm to
let that impression get abroad. The streets
of New York are better than those of any city
on the Continent, though they do not reach
the standard of excellence which her citizens
very properly set as that which ought to pre-
vail in the metropolis of the New World. 1t
is largely a matter of comparison, and there is
a good deal of amiability in the spirit which
accepts the criticisms that blow from some OF
the windy places of the West. But New ork
can afford to be amiable.

Will it sadden the descendants Of the Knick-
erbockers TO learn from a decision of the Cen
eral Term of the Supreme Court that the money
which the Dutch cOlonistS paid the Indians for
Manhattan Island was wasted, or at least that
the title conveyed by the aboriginal grantorS
was defective? That seems TO be the essence
of the conclusion to which Judge TruaX and
his judicial associates have arrived after an
excursion into ancient history embracing the
discoveries of the Cabots, the Dutch purchase
and the English conquest. That the English
common law must be looked upon as the
fountain head Of the laws of this country Is
so well-established an axiom that it causes a

Here is man who ought TO be better known to
fame His name is Charles Il. Siseme, and he is
an English traveller fresh from India, who was
present in the brea1fast-room of the Lathrop
station the other morning, saw Terry assault
Judge Field, the ruflian shot dead, and through
the whole OF that extraordinary scene, which
made a sensation for the entire continent, went
on calmly eating his breakfast at the same table.
II was very like Charlotte in the ballad. The
explanation is easy. Mr.. Siseme was new ar
rival, and didn't propose to write himself down n
grecnhorn by displaying establishment at any
thing He doubtless reads :" The Saturday Re-
view" and The London Tele graph regularly,
was proudly conscious that he was well informed
about all the customs of the country, including
shooting aTays at breakfast in railroad stations,
and simply didn't propose to give himself away.
We wish to fave it distinctly understood that Mr..
Siseme is no tenderfOot.

LA Majestic Edison 1t is in this fashion,
and with large black capitals that the Paris
Fignro@ announces tn arrival of Edison at
the Exposition. Figaro is right. The young
American is u king in the world of invention. and
his doings are vastly better worth three columns
of description than the comngS and goings of
some wcll-descended stupidity, who was kind
enough TO give himcelf the trouble to be born,
as the other Figaro says in the play. Edison has
won his empire by force of his genius, and without
the aid of scientific education any Of the
advantages SO often enjoyed by even poor lads
in this age. The eX-trainboy and telegraph
operator deserves all the honOrs Paris can give
him. All hail to His Majesty Edison

The Princess Who stoops for Freedom.

The Earl of Flies motto is "Vir-
tute ct OPERA" and there are
those bold enough to say
that work and virtue are
piously adhered to by the canny
Scot. If beinga sleeping partner" in
London banking house is work and
never having figured as a correspond
emit in any divorce case is virtue, then
the grandson of the beautiful Fitz-
Clarence is q model swell who will
make Louise Wales an excellent hus-
band. At all events, that young
woman is going to have a better
time than her sister princesses. The
earl is not such q muff as the Mar
quis of Lorne, for he has at once made
two conditions in regard to his mar
riage with royalty. His wife is not
to be logged by a lady-in-waiting,
and she must assume his rank, a
step down though it is. If this mar
riage proves q success from the point
of view of happiness, new order OF
things will soon reign in the United
Kingdom, and other princesses will
! bbee-ffolloRipg the example OF the
daughter of the Prince Of Wales.
They, too, will stoop for freedom,
and so, gradually, that gigantic fab
ric of royalrank will melt and vanish
into air.-Boston Herald.

Skins For Gloves.

Dry Goods Chronicle.
"skins for gloves" says a large
manufacturer, "come from almost
every corner of the globe. We get
our deer skins from Central and
South America and a few from the
Northwest. Our hog skins come
from Mexico and Brazil. You would
be astonished at the softness and
pliability to which the skin is re-
duced. The American hog won't do
for gloves or mittens. His hide is
too hard and tough and unyielding.
The American calf and sheep and
lamb furnishes excellent pelts. South
America gives us many sheep skins.
Cowhides come from Calcutta, goat
skins come from Russia, split sheep
skins from England, and horse hides
from the street car companies.
can enterprising German has dis
covered away to tan American kid
skins so that they become in every
way superior to the French article
in durability and finish. The pro-
cess of tanning is performed entirely
by American workmen, and the
skins sell for from sixty to seventy
per cent. less than the French. Not
only are shoe manufacturers all
over the country using the new pro-
duct, but already thousands of dol
lars worth have been exported to
Germany, France and Austria. The
dressing of kid skins was almost mo-
nopolized by France until this man

The Flood Cure for Badness.

In a letter received yesterday by
DR.. M. Marbury, residing at the cor
ner of Independence avenue and Lo-
Gust street, this city, is related an
incident which is indeed marvellous,
and, coming directly as it does, is
beyond all doubt true. The letter
is from Mr.. Frank Marbury, a cous-
in of DR.. Marbury, who is just recov-
ering from a frightful experience in
the. Johnstown food. For seven
long hours he battled with the wa
tiers for his life. Every hour seemed
day, but at last he was rescued
several miles from the place where
the hotel had stood.
The strange part of the story is
yet to come. Mr.. Marbury is SO
years OF age, and for twelve years he
has been entirely bald, and the top
of his head had become quite popu-
lar with the flies as a summer resort.
He had used the wonderful hair res
toratives people read about in the
hopes of starting the hair, but all to
no purpose; it refused to grow. Two
DAYS after the food he noticed q
dowdy substance all over the hither-
to bald head. As time passed the
down became hair, which grew re-
markably fast; and now reached the
length of one inch all over his head.

Germans Have q Hard ! life,

At Mayence we found children Of
six and eighty years OF age going to
school at halfpast seven in the morn,
ing, all carrying heavy piles ofbooks,
writes a newspaper correspondent
In the German cities the summer va
cation does not exceed four weeks
though the children do get ten weeks
out of school during the year. One
is astonished at the number of books
that pupils ofall grades are burdenec
with. In one instance we counted thir
teen that a girl of fourteen or fitteer
had in her strap. She was pale anC
and pinched, and in, fact, most o
the boys and girls of the public
schools look unfed and over worked.
In Berlin many ofthem wear glass
es. The hardness of life from child
hood to old age for the poorer PEG
pile of Germany is more and more
forced to our notice the further We
travel. And the sight of the brawny
armed women tilling the fields Of
dragging loads seems more degrad
ing with each fresh instance.

There is some question of the
meaning of the word "dervish" ap-
piled to the followers of the late
Mahdi. The Persian word dervish
means beggar or poor man and has
by degrees come to be applied partic-
ularly to religious medicants, and
by further step to religious fanat-
les, in which sense it seems to be ap-
piled to the soldiers of the Mahdi's
Khalifa. The prophet Mohammed
said la Rahibaniat AL Islamia. !"
"There is no monkery in Islam; but
when Turanic tribes were converted
they brought their own old. monas-
tic constitutions into their new religion;
hence the orders of dervishes or re-
ligious mendicants in Turkey and
Persia, vowed to poverty and cellb.
acy and bound by a vow of ODE
dience. No doubt it is from their re.
semblance to these Musselman men,
dicant friars that the Mahdists are
called dervishes, but whether they
themselves own to the name, or
whether it is merely o nickname
fastened upon them by their enemies,
