SUNDAY CHATTER.

The New York editor. who fancies
that he is eleyating the profession by
putting texts of Scripture at the head
of his editorial columns recently dis
coursed to the Methodist ministers
upon the demoralizing effect of Sunday
papers and travel and concerts on that
day. One of his hearers was unkind
enough to allude to the character of the
sporting department that followed the
pious quotations in his paper, and the
s'tips" found there on horse races.
Truly. good men must expect to meet
some rude and unfeeling criticism from
the common herd.
This is called the poor mans winter.
But it is not altogether in his pocket.

Portable time in Indiana when they get
the White Caps all in the penitentiary
and the Republicans all leave for Wash
ington.
Gen. BUTLER is attorney in breach
of promise suit in which the lady wants
$4,000 for her loss of husband. The
peculiar feature of the case is that the
courtship had gone on for thirty-five
years, If the theory not often discour-
aged by those who have personal eX-
perience, that wooing is the most enjoy
able season in the domestic range, is
sustained, this wealthy lover is not taxed
too high. He had spent his life on the
sunny side of matrimony, and, having
none of it's tribulations, he ought to pay
literally.
The Republicans in the larger branch
of the Ohio legislature are said to be in

might have overlooked this aspersion if

There is evidently great latitude to
the jury system in Massachusetts,.
Hon. j. B. ALLEY, a former congress
man and aspirant for literary note, is
defendant in case involving his repu-
tation, and has had trials before seven
different juries, each of which found
him guilty. In each case he has in
duced the Judge to set aside the verdict.
and give him new trial. There does
not seem to be any limit to this routine in
that state, as long as material for lur.es
can be had. 1t is not surprising that
reform in the jury system is called for
there.
The whistling accomplishment has
its limitations and veXatiOnS. A young
lady in the East, who was to give Sun
day entertainment, was restricted to
sacred music. She was unequal to the
requirement. Probably there is lack
of the sort that will meet the new de-
mand. But the laws that regulate
trade will no doubt eventually relieve
the situation.

superiors, and after twelve years OF service
he was discharged, to die peacefully in his
bed as private citizen. Meanwhile he had
taken second wife, and at his death she ap-
piled to the government for pension. which
was promptly granted. Last year Mrs. Cross
No. left Pennsylvania in search of her hus-
band, came to Murray county, learned that
he had gone to Texas, ascertained his army
record, claimed a pension, established the
proof Of her marriage, and got it. Mrs. Cross
No. 2 necessarily was deprived OF the one
she secured. This is but one instance Of the
many intricate pension cases the department
is forced to unravel. Justice would give the
pension to Mrs. Cross No. 2, but the law set
ties it upon No. 1, although years had
elapsed since the separation of her husband
and self. No. Us pension would be consid-
cred fraudulent.

A PECULIAR PENSION CASE.

The frauds perpetrated upon the pension
department are many, so many that the spe-
cial agents or detectives employed by the
government have more than they can attend
TO IN tracing the perpetrators. Some years
ago there came to Minnesota from Pennsyl-
vania man by the name of Cross, who settled
in Murray county and tried an unsuccessful
hand at farming. He had left his wife in
Pennsylvania, and TOR some reason or other
she refused to join him. Becoming diseour-
aged and feeling that his wife had deserted
him, Cross went to Texas, entered the army
and served with great ability. His wife's
refusal to live with him had so embittered his
life that he sought death in battle. but without
success His daring was commended by his

SENATORIAL COMMENT.

A reasonable mind can arrive only at one
conclusion, and that is that in the selection
OF senator the same as in the election of
governor the Republican party worshiped
mammon instead of brains, and that its party
leaders are so completely under the domino
ton, and so closely allied to the monied aris-
tocrats, that the voice of the people is stifed.
-Faribault Pilot
Mr. Washburn is senator, and the less said
about it the better for the good name Of
Minnesota. That money was used in the
contest no man doubts. That Mr.. Washburn
used it or ordered its use cannot be proven

refusing to bow his knee to the Baal Of the

LOVES UNTOLD ART.

That had all night been waging
War with loves modern art.

And read of Aphrodite,

And of mad Mark Antony;

And others like unto these
That history and romance tell.
But my heart still kept on crying.
1t had found not what it sought

In the sea with secrets fraught.
AS I watched boat came sailing
Swiftly across the strand,
And my heart forgot its wailing
As my love did haste to land.
And I read in his eyes forgiving
And in his strong arms fold.
That loving, the same as living,
Is an art that can never be told.

SAMOAN COMPLICATIONS.

Our Washington dispatches this morn
mony in the cabinet over the Samoan
trouble; and SO variant are the views of
the members of the presidents official
household, bad temper was excited at
the last cabinet meeting during the dis
cussion of this matter. Secretary WHIT
NEY and Postmaster General DICKIN-
SON, representing the young and pro-
gressive element of the administration,
are decided in their convictions that the
United States government must assume
a belligerent attitude. The elderly
members of the CLEVELAND household
are naturally more conservative, and
approve the hesitating policy adopted
by Secretary BAYARD. We are CRATE
full for the information in our dispatches
that President CLEVELAND disapproves
the BAYARD policy, and is disposed to
side with WHITNEY and DICKINSON.
At this distance we cannot undertake to
gauge Eastern sentiment on this ques-
ton, but we do feel warranted in saying
that Mr.. DICKINSON reflects the West
ern view of it.
AS anticipated, our San Francisco
dispatches bring the information that
the German officials are endeavoring to
make a scapegoat of KLEIN. the CORE
spondent, and to make him responsible
for the trouble. 1t is matter of no
consequence to us what trivial occur
renee brought on the conflict between
the natives and the German marines.
The facts which interest US are that the
American flag was insulted and the
German empire is seeking to establish a
protectorate over the Samoan islands.
Either is sufficient provocation for a
war, and our position as nation should
be that unless prompt and proper
apology is made for the insult to the
flag, followed by a cessation of all effort
by the Germans to establish protector
ate at Samoa, we should prepare for
war. If BISMARCK halls with JOY the
Samoan complication because of the
excuse it will give to build naval out
fit commensurate with the power and
dignity of the German empire, we
should surely be gratifed for the same
excuse to do something in the same
line. If any nation Oh earth needs
pretext for naval equipment, it is this
country.

THE device in Illinois to break up
constraint and wallfowers at social
gatherings seems well adapted to the
end. Five minute tete-a-tetes are had
with partners selected by lot, and any
break in the conversation during the
period insures fine. If both parties
are required to talk continuously, it will
add to the vocal vivacity.

A cup Of red wine for eyes that are black,
A cup Of cold tea for those blue.

In the press Of sweet lips when they kiss.

A penny for those that are soft,
My honor for aye to the blushing young miss
Who shyly surrenders kiss.

WONDERS OF THE SEA.

mile down the water has pressure OF q
ton to the square inch.
1t has been proven that at the depth Of
$500 feet waves are not felt.
The temperature is the same, varying only
a trife, from the ice of the pole TO the burn
ing sun of the equator.
At some places the force of the sea dash
ing upon the rock on the shore is said to be
seventeen tons to the square yard.
The water is colder at the bottom than at
the surface. In the many bays on the coast
of Norway the water often freezes at the
bottom before 1t does above.
If box six feet deep were filed with sea
water. and the water allowed to evaporate in
the sun, there would be two inches Of salt
left in the bottom. Taking the average depth
of the ocean to be three miles, there would
be a layer of salt $50 feet thick on the At
lantic.
Waves are very deceptive; TO look at them
in storm one would think the whole water
travelled. The water stays in the same place,
but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms
these waves are forty feet high and travel
fifty miles an hour-more than twice as fast
as the swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times the
height; hence, wave five feet high will ex-
tend over seventy-fiye feet of water
