Wants TO Marry Bad.

Milwaukee dispatch; A decidedly
racy story is told by Josie Gautier, a
dashing brunette OF the Crystal Sip
per- company now playing in this city,
Josie is a plump, piquant miss Of II, and
her admirers were many and ardent dur
ing the two weeks engagement Of the
company in Minneapolis. There was one
of her adorers whose passion was not of
the e%phemeral evanescent sort usual in
such cases. On the contrary he mean,
business, and has followed her to thi'
city. His name is Charley Wheeler, ant
of the Flour City" Miss Gautier
story is as follows: "On Monday nigh
we opened here, ard Charley came Tues
day. he called on me, and during our in
terview | took his ring and placing il Oh
my finger r emsrked: Charlie, this will
be our engagement ring Of course, il
was all q joke or my part, and Charlie
SAID that was delightful, and asked when
our wedding should occur, Amy time

After the matinee Wednesday Charlie,
with . gentleman friend, called for us in
"a carriage, and Miss Alice Willard my
lady friend, and myself went out for a
drive. Charlie said we were going to be
married, and Harry asked me if | was all
ready. | said yes; but, of course, / was
only Joking, and thought they were.
Finally the carriage stopped in front of a
residence"
BY way of explanation it may be said
here that the residence Miss Gautier re-
fers to was that of Rev. Charles Stanley
Lester, Of st. Paul's church.
I'VE got out of the carriage and all the
time | thought we were going TO call on
some of Charities friends. When we
got inside the house Charlie spoke priv
ately to the gentleman who took some
paper and asked nj my full name. at
once rave it TO him. Then he asked
Charlie his full name, and, mind you, all
the time | thought it was a joke. Then
| answered other questions and Charlie
did too. But when he asked me mamma

Charlie what this all meant, because
! never thought that he was serious, and he
looked surprised when | realized that VIZ

The minister then began TO understand

fore under no necessity to lie, that MT Blaine will not be secretary of state when congress meets. Nobody need be surprised if their prediction comes true.
 Of course, should Mir Blaine assert his self respect and step down and out of the cabinet, we would be told that his health is unequal to the strain, that le needs rest and quiet, and every effort would be made to conceal the real reason that he could no longer put up with the petty jealousies and coldness of the man he has made pres ident But we predict that, if Mr Blaine resigns, the country will not be long in doubt of the real cause, and there will be rumpus in the republican party that will not be stilled till Benjamin Harrison is sacrificed in the next republican conven- tion. The republican politician who thinks he can snub James G. Blaine and then rub it in is likely to find that he has taken a pretty big contract in hand. And the fact that he is president and lord high spoonholder of government pap is not cal, culated to make any difference.
 The day when James G. Blaine steps out of President Harrison's cabinet will see the handwriting on the wall of the latter'f further political ambitions.

Conductors Of sound.

As general rule, the greater the densi- ty of a substance and the more elasti- city 1t possesses the more perfect Is it's conductibility of sound; thus 1t has been found that while sound travels at the rate of l, 125 feet per second in the ordi- nary atmosphere, 1t will travel 1, 700 feet per second in water. This was proved by experiments in the Lake of Geneva. The travelling power of sound through solid substances may be stated generally to be more rapid than through either air or water. The metals. on account of their elasticity, naturally stand at the head of the list.
 The French philosopher, Blot, oy means of the empty water pipes of Paris, proved that sound will travel through Iron at tn @ rate of 16, ,022 feet per second, or about fifteen times faster than through air. It has been proved that If @ bell be struck In 8 vacuum in an air pump, no sound whatever can be heard, and that If hydrogen be introduced the sound is hardly perceptible. In fact, hydrogen, which Is the most rarefled of all gasses, is the worst conductor of sound, while iridium, the. densest Is the best. This latter Is very scarce and consequently difficult to experiment with, so gold and platinum, which are among the densest of bodies are. com. monly called the best conductors of sound.-N. Y.
