Preferred "a small Audience.

In the spring Of 1876 the common
council Of Chicago issued an order for
an election for city officers under the
new city charter. which order contained
no. reference 10 the office Of mayor.
There was great dissatisfaction with
Mayor Calvin. who was holding over,
and n mass meeting was called at the
Exposition building. which was adver.
tised 10 be addressed Ivy many promi.

The former delivered n stirring speech
in favor Of nominating IA candidate for
mayor. but the latter. who doubted the
legality Of the proposed election. and

There was a swimming a c between
four boys In Sheepshead Bay one day.
A new suit OF clothes wal the first prize
and a new hat the second. The dis
lance TO be traversed was probably 100
yards, from a point opposite the little
summer hotel of the donor of the
prizes TO "A float out in the bay. the
swimmer first reaching the float to be
declared the winner.
The boys were given "A flying start
from the shore, and they rushed into
the water with a tremendous splash.
When 1t came TO swimming the people
on the shore Don perceived that a 1.-the
little fellow. with very red hair. was
winning in hollow style. He outclassed
all the Others. and soon had wide gap
of daylight between himself and his
nearest competitor. Still he continued
to gain, and finally reached and climbed
dpon the float with an exultant cry.
No other boy was ut that moment
anywhere near" him.
But although he finished first he did
not win a prize, for when the second
swimmer came up he shouted to the
referee. who stood on the float:
Don't give dat red headed Teller de
prize. cause he didn't win fair. Look
at his hands"
The referee looked. and saw that the
boy was wearing a pair of flesh colored
rubber gloves webbed between the fin.
gers and thumbs. an ingenious device,
giving the swimmer much added power
to his stroke. The referee gave the
prizes to the boys who finished in sec.
ond and third places. New York Her.

Origin Of q Call.

When the western farmer goes out to
call his pigs--in that part Of the coun.
try the animals sometimes wander a
long way from home-he generally Ia
not content with calling "Pigl pig!"-
a sound which could not be heard very
far-but develops Il into n shout by
pronouncing Il ''Poo-igl poo-igI" The
necessity Of producing a sound that
will carry" seems to explain thisi but
one Of The Boston Transcripts oorre
s~pondents says that ''poolg' Is derived
from poor pig" and that he has often
hsard the call pronounced In that way.

Danger IN Some Kinds at Work.

Some occupations are in their nature
dangerous to health. Persons EN-.
ployed in the manufacture OF white
lead, for instance, show IN their pallid
faces the poisonous effects of the vapor
Of lead gases inhaled, and few are able
to continue In the work for more than
ten or twelve years. II should be said,
however. that good authorities assert
that n continuous milk diet will effect
an elimination Of the poison.

wolves the inhalation Of much dust,
especially that of Iron, copper, black
lead and coal. al hardly escape harm
unless they wear nasal protectors, and
train themselves to keep the mouth

A Ready

Julian Ralph tells a story Of an En-.
~glishnnan's trial for wife beating. His
wife was in court with her eye bound
up in a bandage very much stained
with blood. The magistrate was very
stern in his speech to the wife beater.
With fine effect Of well chosen words,
and with scorn and loathing in his
tone, he asked the wretch how he
could strike a woman, and that woman
the one he had sworn TO protect. The
manner in which the man received
this was ludicrous. He listened TO the
court with panied surprise. why,
your ludsLip." said lac, 1--WE lived with
hat woman fifteen year. and this is
the first time I've drawed blood on
her." The magistrate had a strong
sense Of humor, and will tell that story
many a year, but on the bench he
heard the retort with apparent grave
d~ispleasure. San Francisco Argonaut.

VIII Quay Explain u?

The glad news comes that QIay is
coming home. He has been a little
slew. 10 be sure, in meeting the charges
of the New York World, but now that
he will return fresh and vigorous from
his Florida holiday. IL is hardly TO be
doubted that he will give his immediate
attention to the scandalum magnatum.
and makes his defameIs eat THAR words
with abject apologies, or pass over
enough dollars by way of a libel suit to
vindicate his honor and clear his skirts
OF the accusations which have been so
publicly brought against him. It is
hardly to he supposed that any man
let alone Quay, who Is ikely made of
heroic stuff-would submit to be loaded
with whole chapters and columns of
shocking charges and shameful revela-
tiOns and not resent il TO the utter
most extent of the law, and to the
nuteTmOst edge of his political influence.
Ii stands 20 reason, and human nature,
and the proprieties that Mr.. Quay
should take immediate measures to de-
fend his character, make his innocence
clear as the MONDAY, nd break his
enemies 10 pieces like potteT's vesseI. "
But says one of his friends. "Qusy will
do nothing of the sort. He was trought
up as a good christian, and as such he
has been instru cted 10 love his enemies
to do good TO those that despItetully
use him-that when anyone Smites him
on one cheek he should turn the other
a 50. This may all come about as a
result of early pieiy. but it is not the
teaching of The political school. and he
could not afford to do it. Moreover.
loving his enemies does not fl in with
his ways and manners, and ccnver-
sions under pressure are always suspic-
ious. There is good deal of virtue in
keeping mum at times, but this issue
must he met since silence would give
he verdict of guilty in trumpet tones.
Pennsylvania is a grand old State and
cannot afford 20 De represented by men
whose honesty, veracIly and charac er
can be seriously questioned. The tales
told may be old stories. but if they are
true, something must be done about Il.
MIR. Quay for his own honor cannot
allow himself to be held up to public
shame, and yet do nothing in defense or
deOial. All good people are anxious
that his record may be shown 10 be pure
and unsullied. and also to see the
scandal mongers. who circulated the
dreadful stories to the contrary, put 10
confusion and lawfully punished.
Therefore, for his own credit, for the
honor of the 5 ate he represents, and
for the dignity of the United States, he
should be ful y yindicated and relieved

A Cyclones Awful Work.

COLUMBIA. S. c., March %. Por-
tions OF This Safe were swept by a ter
ritc storm yesterday, entailing loss of
lie and great damage to property. The
fury OF the cyclone was principally felt
in the city OF Sumter, where people will
talk of the storm for years. Clouds
shrouded every hing in darkness /;
every house was shaken to its foundaN
tion roofs were carried whiIliug away +:
fences were demolished trees uproot-
ed and the streets swept clear of signs,
and al this in minute and amid din
that was awful.
Ida Richardson was kjIlei by fall

unknown, were fatally injured, and
many persons were badly bruised and
cut. Matbiessen's machinery dspot was
demolished, and two large sheds OF the
Atlantic Coast line Railroad were
blown down. while the Baptist Church.
the jail aud factory are badly dam
aged and many smaller buildings are
wrecks
The bridge over Broad river. on the
Spar' anburg, Union and Columbia

piers Into the river and completely de-
molished. An unknown man standing

children are reported fatally injured.
In Orsngeburg county many houses
were unroofed. IN this city the i'm

What Alter Bismarck!

The consequences of BismsTck's re-
tlrement from public affairs are natural
exhibitions of uncertainty and distrust
that extend beyond the limits of Ger
many.
The participation of the Emperor in
a council of Generals immediately after
the selection of his new Chancellor is
taken, rightly or wrongly, TO signify a
reliance upon military men. Austria
seems TO be disquieted, and French ex-
tremists are already crying out that
another war is at hand.
IL would be premature and unjust to
conclude that these natural mauifesua>
tious of restlessDess import any serious
disturbances of the European situat ion.
Bismarck will be greatly missed, of
course. The withdrawal of so promi-
cent figure from pubic affairs neces.
sarily leaves gap that will take long
to fill. But the results of his disap-
pesrance from the political arena may
not be manifested Immediately or even
In the very near future. CAprivi, the
new German Chancellor of Italian
name and lineage, is repuled TO be a
man or reso urce, tact and self-res; raint.
and he may be able to curb the restiVe
and adventurous spirit of his Imperial
master until the storm following the
new Premier's accession shall have
blown oYeT.-N. Y. Star.

GOOD Democrats, the country over,
must admire ex>PTesident CIeveIand's s
devotion TO the cause of Tariff Reform.
His letters on the subject are full of
logic and as clear as crystal as witness
the following resa It the first snuiver-
sary of the Indiana Tariff Reform
League:
The Democrat party. the party Of the
people. opposed to selfish schemes which
ignore the public good. and pledged to the
Interests Of all their countrymen instead OF
the furtherance OF the interests OF the few
who seek 70 pervert governmental powers
for their enrichment. was never nearer to
It's fundamental principles than was II in
its contests for Tariff Reform. II certainly
adds TO the satisfaction with which we labor
In this cause TO be assured tnst In our eff.
forts We not only serve our party. but all
the people OF the land"
The recent tariff hearings of the
Ways AND Means Committee, bear Mr.
Cleveland out in all be SAYS. Any res-
sonable man can plainly see that there
is no limit To monopolistic greed.

THE Montana steal is TO come up in
the Senate to-day Thursday The re>
suit is, OF couIse, already determined.
The majority report, declaring that the
Republican applicants for admission,
Msssrs. Saunders and Powers, are en-
titled TO their seats, will be adopted.
The minority report, in favor of Msgin-
mis- and Clark, will be rejected. Party
lines have been drawn so close on the
question that, in view Of other pressing
matters to come before the Senate,
there is no prospect OF any considerable
delay in reaching this conclusion, the
fual result being predetermined.
The Democrats will simply content
themselves with developing the means
by which the will of the people as plainly
expressed at the polls in Montana, was
suppres sed by the returns accepted by
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections as legal.

A RECENT number OF the Rdilicdy
Aoe says, the common sense reform of
numbering the twenty-tour hours of
the day continuously and abolishing
the confusing sffixes A. VI. and p. NJ. is
gaining headwsy. The special COM
mittee OF the American society OF civil
engineers appointed to carry on this
movement has made another report,
showing that absolute and substantial
progress" has been made In the direc-
tion OF securing the general adoption of
the twenty four hour notation by the
rail ways OF the country. In response
20 circular issued 10 railway managers
and other officers, asking their views as
to the feasibility and desirability of the
use Of the new notation by the railways,
the committee announces the receipt of
237 replies, of which 220 we're favorable
and IL unfavorable. In reply to the
question as 20 the year in which il was
thought that the change might be ef-
fected, 80 named the year 1890, 6S
panied 1881, and % named 1892, while
80 gave no date. The Committee con-
siders this to indicate that majority
ity is in favor Of the change taking eff
feet by 1891. Including some whose
opinions have previously been obtained,
the committee reports 3S4 officials con-
neeted with railways agIeRsting fully
$4,000 miles of line are in favor Of the
simultaneous adoption of the "a nora-
ton on the railways OF America. Most.
II not all, of the railway and engineer
ing publications also favor the reform.
