outlook Is encouraging enough for the men of the West and the farmers of the East to take new heart in their work We believe that silver will be ten points higher year from to-day than it now is, and that with it there will be a corresponding advance in wheat and cotton and every other product with which the farmer buys money. This will set business on the up grade again. This will cause the piled up money in the vaults of the banks to be called out; men will be willing to exchange money for prop erty because the prospect of property steadily falling on their hands will be taken away. l. will be found to be better, too, for the holders of fixed capi al, for their interest will increase as fast as It's purchasing power will be lessened, and there will be far less danger of their being forced to take the property on which they hold their liens.

A aood Suggestion.

The great dailies are at present de vising means for the wealthy men of the country to get rid of their surplus cash. The Globe-Democrat solves the problem for at least one of them. It says:
 Mackay, the Silver King is firm believer in Providence, and considers his financial condition quite matter of Divine favor. In return for value received he proposes, it is said, to es- tablish an institute of learning of some sort-possibly after the Stanford ex- ample, or the Cornell. It does not matter much to the people what a millionaire hobbies on so long as they turn to public benefactions. But we have colleges enough; let MT. Mackay take hold of the great scheme to irri- gate the Western arid region by dam ming the headwaters in the Rockies the plan projected by Prof. J. W. Powell There's chance to immor- tahze himself Our rich men should study the needs of the age when mak- ing bequests.

The Outlook For Silver.

The Salt Lake Tribune concludes an in erestihg article on the Outlook for Silver, says the Leadville Journal, with the assertion that 1t Is better at pres ent than for eight years past. The assertion Is based upon the fact that d very large majority of the Democrats in Congress are favorable to silver legislation and deplore the action of President Cleveland in placing the party in false position on the issue of silver coinage. President-elect Har- rison's administration will certainly not be more hostile to silver than Cieveland's has been, if, indeed, it will be hostile at all
 Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the most intellectual and consistent silver advocate ill Congrts ss, Is also hopeful of the outlook. He believes that if nc silver legislalio shall be consummated during the winter, the Secretary of the | Treasury, who will be in office after l the 4th of March next, will at once be gin the purchase and coinage of S4, UuO,U ,UUO per month, which would of 1t sell settle the silver business in year or two. It certainly would be mas ter stroke for the Democrats in Con gress to press this issue and get them selves on record during the contin uance of their party in power. l they tailed to obtain the President approval, they would have the advant age of being able to say that the Presi dent was not in accord with his part, on the subject of hard money gold an' silver, which had been shibboleth 0 the Democracy through all the year up to the last four.

It did seem as though the seedsm4n

It did seem as though the seedsmen outdid themselves last year in the line of elaborate catalogues, but here comes Vick.s Floral Guide for 1889, from Rochester, N Y, better than all previous issues. Better" hardly ex- presses it-rather, we should say, far superior. It has been changed in every respect; new cuts, new type, en- larged in size (opening like an old fashioned singing-book); contains three elegant Autographs (Sxl0f in ches) of Roses, Geraniums and Melon and Tomato; besides very fine plate of the late James Wick and his three sons who now own and manage this large business These features must make the Floral Guide valuable to their many thousands of customers in i this country
 We also notice that Wick returns to the plan started by the founder of the business years ago, of offering cash prizes at the State Fair. One would think they were little out of their heads to offer to the public such a work as the Guide free, for that is what it amounts to. when they say 1t will be sent on receipt of fifteen cents and that certificate good for fifteen cents worth of seed will be returned with the Guide.

The Mahin ero.

A new disease to California appeared on vines in Anaheim, Tn 1856, and has spread throughout the country. Vine yardists have been puzzled to account for It. One thought 1t was due to the presence Of pepper trees, some, fungus growth and So on. An expert sent on from Washington said 1t embles the pear blight of the east. I, first man ifests itself i'll the tender shoots, then the branches wither and last the roots die. The second year of the disease on the plant causes its sure death Whole vineyards in the Santa Ana valley have been destroyed by 1t. The disease has attacked vineyards ill So- noma and other places in the north ern part of the state. J. de Earth Shorb, a large vigneron, has made long statement concerning 1t to the board of supervisors. IL was finally decided that the disease has name-mahinero and it is known that it once ragged ill Italy.
 A vigneron in Pomona, who was born and raised in France, remember ed, when the disease appeared in this vicinity, of having seen 1t i'll Europe, and also remembered the remedy. He took two pound of lime and one pound of bluestone, which he mixed with 6O gallons of water and thoroughly damp ened each vine with this solution. The result Is said to have been perfect cure. G. J. Griffith was so encourag- ej on hearing of this result that he k applying 1t to the old Briswalter vine yard ill this city-L. A. Tribune.

Central Arizona Railroad.

This is bona fde existing railway Company, formed under laws of Ari- zona, with headquars at Flagstaff, A. T. Its articles of association were filed with the Secretary of the Territory on the 18th, and the Company thereby became empowered to enter upon the general discharge of railway business. The purpose of the organization is, we understand, to construct and maintain a standard gauge railroad from Lees ferry to Flagstaff and thence south to the southern boundary of the territory. In pursuance of its avowed purposes, it has already completed arrangements with Mir. D. M Riordan for the purch- ase of the entire Arizona Mineral Belt railroad property including the Min eral Belt railroad as now constructed with all the cars, engines and equip ments for operations, also the carts scrapers, picks and shovels for the con struction of more.-Flagstaff Demo crat.

4 Destructive Blast.

Monday afternoon at Bisbee was one long 10 be remembered by at least a score of the inhabitants of that live ly burg The railroad company are excavating just in the rear of the bus mess houses on the side of the street next to the hill. The ground becom- ing little too hard to make rapid headway without the use of powder some deep holes were put down from the top of the bank and about ten feet away from the rear of Mrs Barney's place. The saloon adjoining was crowded with MeXicans who were con centrated around faro game in the rear, when the blasts went off One of them which evidently had been charged too heavily tore down several tons of lose rock and dirt. The second one was still heavier and ton or more oI rock was thrown with great force through the rear ol the saloon and the postOtlice building. Not a pane ol glass was left. It was a miracle that no one was killed although many were severely injured.
 The faro game was, it is needless tc state, broken up. The dealer made a grab for the coin while the crowd ! tumbled over each other in efforts to get away. The saloon looked as though il had been blown up. Windows acros. the street were shattered into frag ments and rocks were inbedded in the adobe walls of the adjoining building to d depth of several inches. It Is es timated that over $500 worth of dam age was done.-Prospector.

prising less than half the island, contains more than two-thirds of the people. some 600, ,000 or more, and therefore the little republic takes the name of the whole island, Hayti pronounced High-tee). It is needless to recount the revolutions since the Haytians threw off the rule of France in 1894. Suffice it to say that after shooting six rulers, forcing as many more into abdication and flight and try. ing alternately presidency and direc- tory. one Faustin Soulouque reformed the government in lS49, made himself Emperor Faustin l and established sev- eral orders of nobility. Eight years later he was overthrown. and after war of assassinations and small massacres, Solomon took the reins. After his flight Gen Legitime. of the south. had Gen. Telemaque. of the north. the rival can didate, assassinated and took the reins; the north rebelled, Legitime established a blockade. seized the American vessels, threatened the north ports, and there We ara.

That arms ana munitions nave been shipped from New York to the insur- gents; that ''rebel" troops have been transported as ordinary passengers from one port to another in an American steamer, and that the Americans doing business on the north side of the island are in sympathy with the insurgents, are facts no longer denied: but the ques- tion before the Washington administra- ton is. Has Legitine any authority to forbid such shipments or any right to establish blockade, and, if so, were the rules of international law complied with? And while Secretary Bayard anxiously waited report from Capt. Francis M. Ramsay, of the steel cruiser Boston, which he had ordered to Hayti, the Bos- ton astonished New York by appearing in the harbor with four cases of yellow fever on board. This added new and rather unpleasant feature to the situa- ton.
 The American steamer Haytian Republic had been seized in the harbor of St. Marc, but as she was soon condemned and con- fiscated the Boston took position in the harbor of Port-au-Prince, the capital, and it was given out that she would Lombard the city in case the American prisoners were ill treated. With such people as the Haytians her hurried de- parture cannot but have a bad effect, but as four of her crew have died and four others were prostrated by yellow fever her commander could but return.
 Under ordinary circumstances the arrival in winter from the tropics of a vessel with yellow fever on board would excite no apprehensions at New York; but the recent epidemic in Florida and the death of Professor Richard Proctor in the city, from clearly defined attack of fever, have left nervousness in the public mind. There are vague fears that the experience of Philadelphia in the last century may be repeated when the fever came in cold weather and de- veloped in the ensuing summer. The practice in such cases now is to thoroughly fumigate the vessel and have it frozen out" Port-au-Prince is a fa- vorite haunt of yellow fever The eli mate, location, construction of the city, habits of the people, and even the pre- vailing winds are all favorable to it, facts which make the outlook rather bad for the American crew of the Haytian Re public now held in custody there. American and British neutral traders are divided in opinion as to whether north and south Hayti will reconcile their diff ferences or agree to separate and form two republics.

wit in Speech.

It may not be difficult to concoct pretty speech, but true gallantry combined with wit is needed in making one which shall con tain as much deiicacy as dattery. "You for got that l am an old woman" said lady in response to an adniring allusion in neat speech from one of the old school Madam" :" was the reply, 'when my eyes are dazzled by a diamond it never occurs to me to ask 0 mineralogist for its history"
 A celebrated statesman, when dining with a certain duchess on her eightieth birth day, said, in proposing her health May you live, my lady duchess, until you begin to grow ugly" Her ladyship's tongue wac as ready as his own. Il thank you, sir" she replied, land may you long continue your taste for antiquities"
 Goldsmith, in alluding to ''the ladies' modest custom of eIcusing themselves in drinking toasts, says:
 Nor the coy maid, half willing to be prest,
 Shall kiss the cup to pass it to the rest.
 Many amusing and witty allusions in giv- ing toasts and applying sentiments are prob ably thus lost by ladies ''excusing then. selves," as may be instanced by the follow ing: Among the gifts of a newly married pair was a new broom, sent to the bride by 6 lady friend, the stranger present being ac- companied by this quatrain:
 This trifing gift accept from me; ! It's use would commend; In sunshine use the brushy part, Ia storms the other end
 The sentiments of another of the gentle1 sex were equally humorously and tersely conveyed when she thus expressed herself regarding matrimony: "Get married, young men, and be quick about it.

A Great Literary Discovery.

' the European scholars made the most remarkable literary discovery of the century, the existence of the Kalevala, or Finnish epic poem. The epic had never been committed to writing by the people or Finland, but had foated from generation to generation down the ages by repetition from one to the other. While there were men among the Films who made 1t almost their business in life to preserve and per petuate the Kalevala, the poem was the common property of the people, and was recitcd by them over their fires during the long winter mon hs. The recitations were antiphonal in character, alternate lines being given by each to the music of the rude na- tive harp.
 'This wonderful poem, the creation of an unknown author If, indeed, 1t minds), has sung itself for centuries. into, if not out of, the heart of whole nation "The Unconscious is alone the Complete" and 1t seems to have been poured out instinc:ively as the song of d bird from the promptings of an inward impulse. The vigor of its lines and their native simplicity con tinually remind the reader of Homer
 "The publication of Hiawatha, by Longfellow, at once raised the ques- ton as to whether he had taken it from the Kalevala. As may be seen by any one who will compare the two, the resemblances are more than sirik- ing. Had MT. Longfellow invented this verse, 1t would stand as the most brilliant achievement of his life, and give him fair claim to be called poet in the emphatic sense of the word. And although his name could never have been associated with it adiec- | lively, as that of Spenser with his measure, posterity would not have been unmindful of his fame. But the resemblance does not lie in the metre only. The general plan and structure of the poems are the same. Mir. School crafts Algic Researches and History Of the Indian Tribes, which furnish the chief staple of the Song of Hia- watha, contains nothing but loose, dis jointed, independent, fragmentary legends. There Is no relation between them-no such thing as a connected tale of Hiawatha and his exploits taken dcwn from the north of Indian bard or musician in other words, nc nucleus of an epic. All this is the work of the poet, who has evidentl, chosen kalevala as his model. The runes are alike; the preludes are alike Both heroes are mythological person ages. A CT numherless magical ad NoA. .ures, Wainamoinen takes his de parture at the birth of the Christ Child; Hiawatha, after leading life similar in every respect, retires at the approach of the Jesuit missionary Bo h departed in like manner-sailet away far over the blue waves and dis appeared from the eyes of the specta tors into the horizon, their boats hang ing midway between heaven and earth
 "Were there nothing else to interes us in the latest translation of tht Kalevala, such a charge would h sufficient. But in point of fact tn
 poem is full of beautiful imagery, an, it breathes spirit as racy and as uni que as anything in literature. ."-Cur rent Literature, New York.

 In Hayti. moreover, the situation is greatly complicated by the fact that the east end is Spanish and the west end French. and by the fact that, like most tropical islands, the whole is divided by a central line of mountains which prac- tically make two countries of the north shore and south shore respectively. For this cause. the communication between the north and the south ports is almost entirely by water: and as mountains interposed make enemies of races that had else, like kindred drops. been mingled into one" it is sort of rule that the north side always opposes what the south side favors. So, also. a revolu- ton occasionally breaks out on one side. runs it's course and dominates that region before the authorities on the other side find it out. Besides the main line of mountains there are two lower and nearly parallel ranges; between, and ex- tending across all the ranges, are many lovely and fertile valleys. and on the plateaus are magnificent forests of valu- able timber. This makes fine location for third party and good place of re- treat for the defeated. In short, Hayti is most admirably formed for revolu- tions, and the people. being hetero- geneous mixture of Spanish. French and negro, have lived up to their privileges.
