There is trouble brewing in the Treasury de-
partment over the recent order of Acting Sec
retary Batcheller, made at the request of the
Postmaster General, suspending all payments
OF telegraph bills pending the settlement Of the
rate question. Since the order was issued there
have been numerous cases where many officials
employed principally in the internal revenue
and customs service were obliged to make use
of the telegraph service and have been COM
peiied to pay in advance full commercial rates,
the Western Union people holding that they
were bound by no contract after July l. Thus
II is that there are many small bills for reim-
bu rsement Of expenses Of telegraphing before
the first controller for audit and he is now en-
gagged In a consideration of the question
whether there is some appropriation that can
be drawn on to meet these expenses while the
Post Office department and the telegraph CON-
pany are settling the pending controversy.
The Alien Labor Law on the Border.
Acting Secretary Batcheller has received re-
ports from the special immigrant inspectors
posted along the Canadian border to insure the
enforcement of the alien contract labor law
showing that there have been numerous minor
violations of the law. but that the people, when
its provisions are explained to them, show q
Willingness to comply with them.
1t Is thought that there will be some difficulty
OF enforcing the law with the Canadian Pacific
and the Grand Trunk railroads on account OF
their custom Of bringing Canadian laborers
over the border for the purpose OF repairing
the roads. One inspector recommends remedial
legislation that will permit the introduction OF
these persons for temporary labor.
Protecting Oklahoma Homesteaders.
Acting Land Commissioner Stone has re-
ceived information that homestead settiers in
Oklahoma who have made entries Of tracks are
subjected to annoyance and expense by parties
setting up speculative claims to the land, un-
dertaking to lay out pretended towns thereon,
to dispose OF interests in town lots to the pub
lie and endeavoring by various indirect means
to compel the settlers to give up their rights to

A Lazy Mans Mill,

When the first settlers came to North
America they found the Indians using
pestel or mortar to crush the maize
which formed their chief vegetable
food. In South America the natives
had progressed farther and had con-
triyed the Monjolo, which may be
truly styled lazy mans mill, for while
it saves mans labor, only very lazy
man would be willing to await the re-
suit of its operations. In form it was
like huge wood hammer, balanced
half way up the handle on pivot
At the end of the handle opposite the
hammer is hollow scoop; into this a
natural stream of water is directed,
and when the scoop is filled the extra
weight forces it downward, when the
water runs off. Thus released from the
weight the hammer end returns sud-
denly to its former position, giving
one strong blow in the receptacle made
to hold the rice or corn. Thus it goes
on day and night as long as the stream
runs; monotonous .hud, a creaking
groan, the sound Of splash of water,
a thud, groan, splash, over and
over, until at last the grain, having
been coarsely broken, is taken out and
the mortar is refilled.

Aid For Mrs. Maybrick.

More than a hundred thousand sig
natures have been obtained to a petit.
ton praying the home Office to COM
mute the sentence of the American, Mrs.
Maybrick, the date of whose execution
for the murder of her husband, the
Liverpool cotton merchant, is set for
the near future.
The impelling motive in this gener-
al interest in the woman's behalf arises
in the main from consideration for her
sex. Mankind, revolving more and
more against the barbarism of capital
executions but not yet prepared
wholly to abolish it, is unwilling that
the hangman shall do his Office upon a
wowan, even though she be murder
er. On this point. too, the public
mind is not fully satisfied. In any gen
eral view there is no substantial
grounds for sympathy with the &C
clsed. She was guilty of infamous
breach of her marital obligations
without even pretext OF infatuation
for a seductive paramour. A single
intrigue did not satisfy her vicious
propensity. Maybrick had more
ground than the Moor to complain of
the general camp, pioneers and ALL"
While this conduct was gross it is not

utes to the sentiment of sympathy
with woman who is not overdeserv-

In England the course of justice is
not easily diverted by popular clamor,
but as Mrs. Maybrick is not political

ecutive clemency is widespread she
may be saved from the gallows.-C Chi

The Innocent Lamb.

About the first error the lamb makes
in life is to mistake the shepherd or
his dog for its mother, and many are
the maneuvers that must be gone
through with to make the new arrival
follow the right party. His next error
is likely to be an attempt to walk on
air when he comes to place where he
should go down hill. His ten minutes'
experience in life has made him be-
lieve that all the earth is a level plain,
and in broad daylight he steps off the
top landing of the stairs in totl dark
ness when he is certain that the stairs
are yet twenty feet away. The result
is great surprise to man and lanb in
each instance.
The lamb picks himself up, and con-
tinues down the hill; he soon comes to
the conclusion that everything is down
hill in this life, and not on the dead
level. Upon getting to the foot of the
hill, he still tries to continue down.
ward, and as q result runs his nose in
to the ground and looks surprised
again. He now comes to place to
get up hill, and goes up just as our
man starts up stairs in total darkness
when he thinks the stairs are twenty
feet away.
There is only one thing that is 500
times as funny and provoking by turns
as lamb, and that is 500 lambs to-
gether when they are about month
old. The shepherd sits down and
watches the 500 lambs all in bunch
by themselves, playing, running and
frolicking. and he laughs. When he
has tried, and tried in vain, to get the
same 500 across bridge, or in cor
raj he sits down again, but he does not
laugh this time. Montana Wool

DR.. Brown-Ssauari in Boston,

Now that the newspapers are all
talking OF DIR. Brown-Sequard and his
wonderful elixir stories OF his expert
ences in this vicinity are in order, says
the Boston Courier, and some of those
which are told are droll enough.
1t may be remembered that one of
his ideas was that the nervous condi-
ton of person could be judged by
the susceptibility of the skin, and this
he tested by the distance apart at which
two pin-pricks merged themselves into
one to the sensation OF the patient.
This method he used with considerable
success, being not infrequently called
in as a specialist In complex cases of
nervous disorder.
On one occasion, it is said. he was
called upon TO go to the suburbs OF
Boston to see young lady who was
suffering from some nervous trouble,
and was left alone with the patient to
make his examination. After a time
which seemed to the family rather
long he came downstairs with a very
serious face and informed the family
that he was extremely sorry to report
that the vitality OF the girl seemed SO
low that there seemed no possibility of
her rallying. They were thunder
struck, as the case, though obstinate,
had by no means been regarded as
serious one. The family physician,
who had been unable to be present
was sent for in all haste. He assured
the frightened relatives that there was
some mistake. and proceeded to go up
to the chamber OF the invalid to hear
her account of the examination.
THAT man you sent here" she an
nounced almost before he could ask
her. twas fool"
"He is nothing of the Sort" was the
answer; ''he is very able specialist"
WELL" she said, II know he acted
like a fool. All he did was to stick
pins in my back and ask me If it hurt.
OF course | said no."
The physician was too much amused
to be angry, but the conclusion of DIR.
Brown-Sequard was at once explained,
to the great relief of the family.

NORTHWESTERN MARRIAGES..
The Union OF Prince Nichoias's
Daughters with Russian Royal

L
The Union OF Prince Nicholas's
Daughters with Russian Royal
ty.
| A few days ago the second daughte,
of the prince OF Montenegro was mar
ried to Russian prince, cousin oil
| Alexander Ill, and at the same time
the engagement was announced of her
younger sister, the Princess Anastasia,,
to Prince George Maximilianovitch oil
Leuchtenberg, another cousin of the
car. 1t is evidently, says the Buffalo
Courier, the intention of the Russian
| emperor to secure to the family OF
Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, who
has seven daughters and two sons, the
full recognition as one of the European
dynasties which up to recent time
was denied to them. In this way he
doubtless means to reward Montenegro
for her fidelity to the Russian alliance,
which presents a marked contrast to
the attitude of Servia, Roumania, and
Bulgaria toward the power which liber-
ated them from Turkish rule.
Prince George of Leuchtenperg is a
widower some 80 years old. On his
mothers side he is grandson OF Car
Nicholas l., while his paternal grand
father was Eugene Beauharnais, step
son OF Napoleon /. and viceroy of Italy.
Eugene was formally adopted as son
by Napoleon without right of success
sion to the French crown and m rried
a Bavarian princess. After the en-
peror's downfall he was made duke OF
Leuchtenberg and prince of Eichstaedt
by his father-in-law, the King OF Bava-
ria. His family retained its semi-royal
rank. One of his daughters be-
came queen of Sweden, another
empress of Brazil. and his eldest
son married the then reigning queen
of Portugal. His second son, who Sue
ceeded to the position OF chief of the
family, married the Grand Duchess
Maria NicolaJevna, daughter of Nicho-
las |. of Russia. and as Il consequence
of this union the family adopted the
creed of the Greek church. When
Louis Napoleon, whose mother, Queen
Hortense, was sister of Eugene Beau
harnais, assumed the imperial title in
1852 he intended to restore his uncle's
descendants to the rank which Napo-
leon I. had conferred upon his step son.
But Nicholas |. was opposed to such
connection of his grandchildren with
the "upstart' dynasty of the Bona
partes.' To prevent it the car gave
to all the members OF the Leuchtenberg
family the title and style of Prince and
Princess Romanowski and Imperial
highness," together with a rank next
to that of the members OF the Russian
imperial house. In this way the |
scheme of Napoleon III. was thwarted |
This was one of the acts of Nicholas |
which the French emperor bitterly re-
,ented, and it doubtless had much to
10 with the desire for revenge which
ne was able to crafty in the Crimean
var. The Leuchtenbergs are now a
Russian family of semi-royal rank.
They have large possessions in Russia
Ind Germany and their French origin
eems to be nothing to them but IL
memory. The present head of the
amily is the Duke Nicholas Maximil-
anovitch, an elder brother of Prince
George. The latter has son by his
deceased wife, and upon his line the
tiles and estates of the family will ulti-
nately devolve.

Three or four men were sitting on

the sky as freckles on red-headed
girls face. The waves came in

A lamp was lighted, the cigars put

minute a mosquito had placed himself

"Now," said Tom, and placed the
forefnger of his other hand down close
to the mosquito. 1t did not bulge. He
placed his nail against the abdomen of
the insect and whirled it around. Still
