Eating MuSkrat.

''Did l ever eat muskrat?" said Depu-
ty Register James A. Visger. "Well, I
should remark. It's the incest, gamiest
and most delicious meat you ever put
into your mouth. But you have to look
out when you catch 'em. See that fin
ger?"
Mr.. Visger held up the index finger of
his right hand. It was all scared and
mutilated at the top.
II had speared twenty-six muskrats
that day, about thirty years ago. 1t
was down on the River Ecorse. When
I had speared one fellow took hold
of him by the head instead of the
tail, and he nearly took that finger off.
But would sooner eat one muskrat
than five pounds of porterhouse steak.
When the boys used to go on muskrat
hunt in the old days, and catch fifteen
or twenty apiece, they would sit down
in the muskrat houses play cards to see
who would win the lot. 1t generally
ended by one man winning the whole
pile, and he would go staggering home
under load of $50 to 20C rats.-Detroit

The Palm Tree.

Among the Indians of Brazil there j,
tradition that the whole human "a
sprang from palm tree, says Nic<,
Na1azine. 1t has been a symbol of o.,
cellence for things good and beautitu.
Among the sncients it was an emblem
of victory, and. as such, was worn by thu
early Christian martyrs, and has been
found sculptured On their tombs. Tn.
Mohamedans venerate it. Certain tree,
said to have been propagated from some
originally planted by the prophes,
daughter, are held sacred and the fruit
sold at enormous prices. The day upoa
which Christ entered Jerusalem. rldirg
upon the colt of an ass, is called Palm
Sunday, being the first day of the Ho.v
Week In Europe real palm branches
are distributed among the people
Goethe says:
In Rome, on Palm Sunday,
They have the true palm,
The cardinals bow reverently
And sing old psalms.
Elsewhere these songs arc sung mid olive
branches;
More southern chimes must be content with
the sad willow.
The books relating to the religion Of
Buddha were nearly all of them written
upon the leaves of the far palm, and by
miss :onaries they have been used In the
place of paper The noble aspect OF
this tree, together with its surprising
utility, has caused it to be called ''the
prince of the vegetable kingdom and
it has been immortalized in history,
mythology and poetry.

son and his grandfather.
If the Democrats had advertised like that,
Cleveland would have been reelected"
The poster referred to was one of the famll-
lar black and white Log Cabin Sarsaparllla
posters sent out by an enterprislng firm en-
gagged in the manufacture of old log-cabin
home cures, under the name OF Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies, and among other equally
valuable articles includes the famous Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla, which is everywhere
recognized as the best of all spring medicines
and stands without rival for the cure OF all
disorders which are the results of impure
blood.
The spring time of the year is the season
winter has caused the blood to become filled
with impurities
there exists no better means to aid and
strengthen the system at such an urgent
period than the use of Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, which speedily restores the
blood to pure and healthy state, which in
Sures health and happiness
The reputation of the firm putting out the
medicine is above reproach, and is the same
firm which manufacture ers Warmers Safe
Cure, the standard remedy for the cure of
all those diseases peculiar to the kidneys
as well as those which are the results of
disease in those organs, and which has met
with such phenomenal success for the past
ten years.
We understand that the posters referred
to made their appearance in many parts of
the country sometime prior to the Chicago
Convention which nominated General Har-
rison as a candidate for the Presidency
hence the use made of the portraits OF the
Harrisons, father and grandson-was either
the result of remarkable political foresight
or in accordance with the historical associa-
ton of the old Log Cabin with the name OF
Harrison

oh! [ SAY, BILLY"
BY MARGARET EYTINGE.

The old man had gone to his lunch.
He wasn't an old man, but that is what
d everybody in that vast establishment,
from the senior editor down to the
printers devil, called him--behind his
back. In point Of fact, he was young
man, not more than three and thirty,
though in consequence of his dignifed
bearing and exceedingly grave, quiet
, demeanor he might have been, and
usually was, taken for five years older at
least. He was TALL moving, good
looking man with an air of suppressed
power about him-the sort of mar it
was hard to think of as once having been
a small boy in knickerbockers, let alone
a baby in long clothes. He had dark
blue, rather near-sighted eyes-but woe
to him who tried to take advantage of
their near-sig hUedness-straight, dark
hair, a firm, we'll formed mouth and
strong, decided chin. And when he
spoke, which was, in business hours, at
least, as seldom as possible, it was in a
slow, measured way that at time became
q drawI. Judging Mr.. William Enderby
by his manner of speaking and moving,
one would have come to the conclusion
that time with him was minor consld-
Grafton altogether. But was it? | should
think not. Next to the old man the
clock reigned supreme in that great pub
fishing house.
But, whatever feeling everybody enter
tanned toward the despotic clock, it is
certain that everybody, though more or
less in fear of him, respected, yes and
liked the old man. He was so thor
oughly honest and honorable
what he said-did what ne thought
right and exacted from no one in his en-
ploy iot more than he thought it his
or her duty to do. In proof of the latter
assertion he did not exact from some of
them as much as he did himself
Well, the old mans carriage had rolled
away, with the old man and the senior
editor in it, to the hotel where, they
both being bachelors, they took their
midday meal, and, as it rolled away, the
doors of the editorial rooms, that had
been shut, opened, and those that had
been open, opened still wider.
These cubby holes formed a semi
circle around the main Office and were
directly opposite the sanctum sanctorum
of the old man. At the large table in

Curious Vigil in a Cemetery.

A temporary frame hut just large
enough to hold three men stands oddly
among tombstones in the middle of the
little cemetery at Fifty-sixth and Market
streets, Philadelphia. It rests over the
newly grave in the plot of Solomon
r. Fridenberg, the Chestnut street
jeweler, containing the body of his son,
None S. Fridenberg, who died three
weeks ago. From one side of the hut
protrudes a stove pipe, from which
smoke may be seen curling every even
ing.
On the other side is window in keep
ing with it's size. The interior shows a
stove and a bench, and, protruding
through the middle of the floor to the
height of four feet, an iron pipe two
inches in diameter, in the center of
which is an iron rod of the proper size
to be moved easily up and down inside
the pipe. Toward evening the superin-
tendent of the graveyard, Charles
Kreuger, or his son goes to the hut and,
entering it, builds fire in the stove.
AS soon as the sun is set and darkness
is coming on two aged men come to the
iron cemetery gate, and, being admitted
by them, listen intently. With each
movement of the rod there comes sound
like the tap of metal against wood, faint
and deadened by distance, and the two
men look at each other and decide that
the body of young Mr.. Fridenberg has
not been disturbed. The test with the
sounding rod is repeated hourly through
the night and sometimes oftener with
all the reverence such vigilance de-
mands. The arrangement is simply to
put beyond possibility the disturbance
of the body by grave-robbers for what
ever purpose. -Nsao York Nees,

THE TITMIcE OF NEwBERN.
AN EPISODE OF THE WAR.

AN EPISODE OF THE WAR.
In sight Of the spires of Newbern town,
Where tie guns of Fort Thompson were

The men in gray,
The legends say,

One bright spring morn-new-mated bliss
In the haunts of death. Strange irony this:
Seeking place for a young loves nest,
They chose cannon as suited best;
Then with a flip,
Flip, fippety, hip,
Hoppety, hippety, trippety, trip,
In the mouth Of the implement made to kill
They built their brooding nest with skill,
Before the battle of Newbern

With lutter and skip,
And a trip, trip, trip,
A hippecy, hoppety, fippety, flip,
Had flown with the screech Of the first wild
shell
Far into the woods where twas safe to dwell
During the battle Of Newbern-
And on that day, so the soldiers say,
After the blue had succeeded the gray,
The birds once more
Came as before
Back to the haunts of those men of war:
After the smoke and the carnage and death,
Almost in the lannon's fiery breath,
And went to work their nest to repair,
With their hoppety hip,
And their busiest skip:
In the new dismounted cannon they'd trip
Beneath the mild spring sun in the South.
Rebuilded their nest in the lannon's mouth,
After the battle of Newbern.

And waited aside for the noise to cease;
Then built in the gun they had used before,
And showed contempt for the ways of war,

When war and its horrors had passed away

STRENGTH,
This ~utterance hits the nail on the
head. The alleged liquor plank is
cowardly, as well as dishonest. The
readers of the party are well aware
that a vast majority of the voters of
the State prefer the Democracy upon
all general matters of public
concern. but a certain percentage
of them, who hold extreme
anti-liouo views, subordinate
their judgment to their preiudices
upon this one topic. To win these
votes away from the Prohibition
party the Republican leaders, with
vulgar cunning. concocted a sort of
verbal puzzle, which there is no doubt
thew mean to interpret in the right
quarter as an unqualified declaration
for local option.
But if that were what the party
really meant, why not have said so
openly and boldly Why not? Sim
Div because the Republican party in
Newark is largely controlled by a
