p,ctu,e OF a stured Prophet.


Talking about prophets of various and
sundry dimensions OF girth, what's the mat
ter with Mr.. Charles Antifat Dana as a
cold day prophet And they do say that
he now tips the beam at nign onto go
avoirdupois aud has a foot Ike a sack Of
Ireland blue potatoes. Ga what fodder
doth our Charlie feed that he hath grown
SO corpulenti Heyl
Here is his latest specimen calamity pre-
dicsion, which should be placed upon record
before it escapes:
II the democratic national convention
were TO be held tomorrow, how many dele
gates would Grover Cleveland have from
his own state!
Not one, not a single one.
And that will be the size of the Cleveland
delegation from New York ia 1892.
| In order to fully establish public conf
dencs in this great big prophet, it is only
necessary to recall the fact that on the 21ss
day of September, 1884, Eiitor Charles
Antifat Dana said in the New York
| Sun that ''it is a safe prediction that in
/ New York city Butler will have more votes
than Clevela 1d.n Nevertheless Cleveland
received 133, lj7 votes and Butler claimed
3,499
| Before he had realized on the foregoing
somewhat tricky prediction the same Editor
/ Charles Antifat Dana launched forth in
I the New York Sun on the 3lst day of
October, 1884, with the confident p edic.ion
that mo sensible politician believes that
Cleveland stands any chance of saving
| Connecticut, New Jersey, or California"
| Yet the democrats managed to scoop 'em all
in after a short scuffis and had ammunition
left in the locker.
Nothing dauntei, however, by few little
misft predictions like tlese Editor
Charles Antifat Dana again body
sailed forth in the New York Sun
| on Oct. 81, 1894. with the friendly
prediction that The present Struggle must
Inevitably end with republican success"
But the democrats got there just toe same
with their whole family and some OF their
friends.
Possibly by way Of varying his hoodoo
prophecies in the Sun Editor Charles Anti
fat Dana unbOsomed himself and turned
| loose another helpless prediction to Mail
| and Cypress reporter on the Sth day of
| April, 1887. 1t should have happened on
the 1st day of April, for the astute editor
said 81 will say positively that l do not
think it possible, under any consideration,
for the delegation to be for Mr. Cleveland.
l will make it stronger by adding that do
not think even minority Of the delegation
| from New York will be for Mr. Cleveland
for President" Notwithstanding all of
this impressive precision. Cleveland was
cordially accorded the unanimous support
of the New York delegation.
Yet Mr.. Dana isn't discour aged at all. He
seems to firmly believe that he'll strike it
yet if "them fellers' would vote the way he
wants them to- With little more practice
he may manage to make himself very
amusing. But. like the duelists of France,
be does no harm, because he never hits any
thing.
Hence it will be observed that he is not
even a genuine bona fide "Stuffed Prophet"
but simply very flat stale, and uaprofit-
able" Claimant"

Robbers With silk Eats.

diamonds entered crowded Ogden avenue

Saved from the Moose.

Senator Stewart dug gold by daylight and
read law by freight says a correspondent of
the Globe Democrat. He was admitted to the
bar and practiced. But his profession didn't
prevent him from going into mining operations.
There were few mining camps from 1850 to
1865 in which "Sagebrush Bill Stewart as he
was called, was not familiar figure He has q
great reputation as traveller He has been all
over the world. 1t is said that he can climb
mountain now quicker and easier than nine
men out of ten, without limitation as to age.
Senator Wilbur Z. Sanders of Montana made
reputation in the days of Virginia Gulch by
hanging bad men.
He was the legal adviser aud executive officer
OF the Vigilants. Senator Stewa never hanged
man, but he saved several when he thought
the Vigilants were too hasty in their action
One day while riding mis- law circuit, in 1853
or 1854 st 'wart approached a mi ing camp
Where preparations were being made for an eX-
ecution. AS he dismounted in front of the hotel,
with his law library in pair of saddle-bags
thrown across his arm, he saw a crowd away
off.
EThe signs were plain enough to his practiced
eve. In Il ont or the hotel little bit of Teaan
dssperado named Jack Watson was standing.
He had come out to the mines with Jack Hayes
party. He wouldn't weigh more than 40
pounds but he all grit. There was a look
of diSeu upon his face.
He was gazing down the road toward the
mob. Stewart inquired what the trouble was
about. Watson said the man to be hanged was
a stranger, an Englishman, who had come into
camp and had stopped there all night
Some money had been stolen and the stranger
was TO be hanged for it. The Texan express
the opinion that the stranger was not guilty
Stewart remarked that somebody ought to in
| terfere if an innocent man was about to be ex
ecuted.
In flash the Texans manner changed. He
| drew his hands from his pockets, threw the
| right hand upon the hit of his revolver, and
| giving Stewart penetrating LOOK. exc. aimed
''Da'st your
Stewart mildly replied that he dared and
| without another word, Stewart. who has the
| longest pair of legs in the United States Senate,
was stridIng down the road. Little Watson was
beside him and going on trot. They went into
| the crowd and pushed the r way to the front,
| where the moose WIS being put in place.
| Here, boys" said Stewart. this man may be
| innocent. Let's see about it -
Without any delay judge Lynch's court was
| convened. The witnesses were put on the stand.
| In fifteen minutes the young lawyer had shown
| a flaw in the case.
One of the first questions he asked was
| whether all Of those who had slept in the hotel
the night of the theft still remained in camp
The witnesses said no. One man had left camp
| on mule in the morning.
| That man is the thief" said Stewart
| A force Immediately started in pursuit The
missing man overtaken. Part of the
stolen money was found on him. He was
brought back and hanged. The Engishman
| was turned loose.

rhez Made the nuIs rirad.

A prominent Clergyman Of this city, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, is responsible for the
following: after the experience of last Sunday
evening / cannot for one moment doubt the
story OF Balaam's as had been preaching in
Camden, an took the Market street ferry to re-
turn 70 this city. The boat wss pretty crowded
and among the crowd we're eight or tea young
men who had been over to Jersey for their Sun
day beer. They were just about as happy as
they could possibly be. and when half way
across began singing Annie Rooney AS each
one had different ideas as to the exact pitch and
cadence of the tune. the result can be imagined.
Suddenly the big mule with the four-foot head,
which was on the boat, enunc: ated in loud mel
low accents, All. cheese it. An, cheese it! All,
cheese itr For a second or two there was a
sudden silence, aud then from one end of the
boat 10 the other went up roar of laughter.
The soog ceased, of course.

Are They Rattled2

Gen. Warner, of Ohio. who is member
OF the national silver committee, and who
believes that the only thing needed to give
the whole country a boom. says that the
republican senator's are ratified. he has
been in Washington for several weeks try
ing 10 get congress to pass free coinage
act lie can't get any satisfaction from the
republican senator's as TO the course they
intend to pursue with respect TO silver, or
any other matter. The fact is, he says, the
senator's themselves don't know what they
win do. Some of them are more interested
in having the force bill passed than in any
thing else, and others want the coinage of
silver made free. The force bill is being
used to stave off action on the silver bill,
aud the finance bill is being used to prevent
vote on the force bill 1t looks very much
as if neither bill would be passed, aud the
country would not be filed with regrets if
neither bill should be passed.
Senators Stewart and Cameron are out
spoken in their opposition to the force bill,
and Aldrich and number Of the other east
era senators are outspoken in their opposi-
ton to free silver coinage, or to anything
hcan senators have been read out Of the
party because OF their opposition to the
force bill or free silver or high protection,
but they don't seem to mind these efforts u
discipline them. Cameron says that he isn't
going 10 vote for the force bill, because
good many of his constituents have invested
money in the south, and he doesn't want the
south disturbed by the introduction of
bayonets at the ballo.-box. Other repub-
lican senators give various reasons for being
out Of harmony with their party associates.
1t really looks. therefore, as if what Gen.
Warner says is true. viz: that the repub-
lcaa senator's are ratified If they will only
stay ratified until the end of the session the
country will have cause to rejoice There
is no demand for any of the legislation pro-
posed by them,

When the Philadelphia Inquirer, a
stanch and Loyalty partisan republican pa
per. appeals to the Senate TO lay the cleo
ton bill aside. and address itself to the task
of passing the apportionment bill, the bill to
build up American commerce, and other
bills which it regards as of "extreme i'm
portance," that is pretty conclusive evil
dence that even the republicans of the coun-
try are growing sick and tired of Mr.. Harri-
sion's palpably selfish and sectional scheme
TO control nominating convention, and
rather disguised with his patent purpose
to carry the country by very thinly-veiled
violence. "Were the Republican party"
continues the Inquirer, united on the
election bill this would put another face on
the matter. But every day briggs stronger
evidence that it is not. Not only are some
of the republican senator's opposed to it, but
leading republican papers feel it their
DUTY to throw out cautionary signals. The
sentiment Of Pennsylvania, 80 far as il can
be ascertained, is in favor of taking the
elections bill out of the way IL it is to stand
in the path of more necessary legislation. u
| And that's about the sentiment Of the whole
country.

Senator Voorhees, has a great regard for
Vice President Morton. In his recent speech
against the force bill he took occasion to
speak of the Vice President as follows:
"Whether in the discharge OF his official
duties or in private life warmly appreciate
and admire the fairness. the courtesy, and
the kindness Of Vice President Morton.
His great aud successful career in the bus
mess world, as well as in political life,
eminently qualities him ~ make practical
and valuable observations on the material
prosperity, tho moral tone, aud the
political temper and purposes Of
any people with whom he may b.
brought IN contact" Senator VOORHEES, then
read an interview IN which MT. Morton,
after his return from a trip through the
south, spoke Ia very complimentary terms

dent. 4 b believed, has very little sympathy

Bouncer Clarkson. familiarly but not
popularity known as the headsman, who did
so much sprightly execution upon demo-
cratic postmasters while he was in the
pos5ofiice department, says the campaign of
1892 is already opened. 1t is to be fought,
be says, by the press, and the party that
understands that fact best will succeed.
IF the people, he says, ARE to read a
democratic or mugwump paper where they
ought to read republican paper the demo-
Gratis are sure to win" Hence his advice TO
his party is to reinforce its press.n At
present, in his view, the most widely circu-
lated papers Of the country are democratic
"a fact of evil omen for the "grand old
party" Just before the late election Mr.
| Clarkson made few remarks OF similar
tenor TO these, end it is creditable to his con-
sistency that he still sticks to his text. But
he did not frankly tell his party that the
democrats are prospering chiefly because
they are really protecting the peoples inter-
ests instead Of plundsring them under a
pretext that is not even plausible as re-
publicans present it. And the people are
sharp enough to see who are really their
| friends and stand by them.

Memphis is to have a grand subscription
ball, to be given by the Ladies' Hermitage
Association or Jan. s, the anniversary of
the battle Of New Orleans, in aid of the
funds of the association. Gen. Andrew
Jackson's old home. Hermitage, near Nash
vile, has for years been falling into decay,
and threatens unless repairs be soon made
to tumble into complete dllapidation. The
Ladies' Hermitage Association was formed
to purchase "Old Hickory's" homestead and
preserve it, with all the existing relics of
the hero of the battle of New Orleans. On
July l, 1889, the association secured four
year option on the property. Since that
date s., 295 has been realized for the asso-
Citations purposes by two balls given under
the auspices of the ladies, the one at Nash
vile and the other at Memphis. This ball
will probably be social event of no small
importance in Memphis, and bring out all
the fashionables Of the whole surrounding
country.
