ouav's Leadership Questioned.

There are some indications that Senator
Quay is losing his grip upon his party in
Pennsylvania. The fact is, he is distrus.ed
by the better class of republicans. His
record IS not one to be proud of, and his
political methods are not such as appeal 20
men Of integrity.
He wants s. ate Senator Delamater nomi-
mated for governor. Delamater IS man
who is much like Quay in many respects.
He is not nice aOout the means he uses to
win success. few days ago card was
published in the leading republican paper
Of the state, in which the charge Of bribery
was made against him. He will have to dis
prove this charge before be eau ever hope
for the united support OF his party.
Gen. Hastings is the favorite of the re-
publicans of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
and those cities furnish the bulk of the re-
publican majority. Neither city likes
Quay's man Delamater, and neither will
support him for the gubernatorial Domina-
ton. 1t is doubtful if either will support
him even if nominated.
1t is understood that Quay intends to
have his way, and will use machine methods
to pack the nominating convention with his
followers. 1t is asserted that if he forces
the nomination Of Delamater there will be
a split in the party. The dissatisfied repub-
lcans will run an independent candidate.
Nothing would suit thu democrats better.
With two republican candidates in the
field they would have no difficulty in elect
ing their ticket.
The Harrison administration is not as
popular as it was while back in Pennsyl-
vania. Many of the cleanest-handed Of the
republican leaders resent the action of the
President in putting the whole of the fed
eral patronage of the state under the con-
troll of Quay. Only few days ago bitter
open letter was written to the President on
this subject by Pennsylvania.
Quay has made several visits to Philadel-
phia for the purpose of breaking down the
opposition to his candidate, but has met
with no success The revolt against his
leadership is so pronounced and bitter in
that city that there is no probability that
he will be able to quell it. If he wants har-
mony and united party he must yield, and
if he yields his prestige as the "boss" Of the
state will be gone.

Neither Germany nor France appears to
have anything kind to say of Stanley. His
failure to please them, however, does not
seem to annoy him a great deal. Enin
Pasha is to return to the interior OF Africa
in tho interest of Germany, and Explorer
De Brazza has left France on his sixth trip
to the dark continent. Both Germany and
France have intentions with respect to
Africa that are somewhat hostile to those
of England. 1t may be that in the near
future there will be trouble between those
three nations for the possession Of the rich
est parts of Africa. There is no doubt that
Africa has commercial possibilities that
are very attractive.

Mr.. Carnegie, the Pittsburg millionaire,
is about to found university In Pittsburg
Not very long ago library building which
cost him $250,OO0 was opened to the public
in Allegheny City, and the university that
he is to erect for Pittsburg will cost not less
than 81 100000. Mr.. Carnegie purposes to
distribute his wealth during his life, and
not dispose of it by will. The chances,
therefore, are that the lawyers will not get
a great deal of his estate.

remarkable cases of all kinds are con
stantly being presented in the courts, but
one recently presented in an Indiana court
is not easily matched. The case was a con-
test of a will, which had been made on
Sunday. The ground of the contest was
that the will was not legal one, because it
is unla to make wills on Sunday. If
it is shown that the tesSa.or was informed
on Sunday that he was about to die, aud
that he had bat an hour or 50 to settle his
earthly affairs, the court, probably, will
not hurriedly reach the conclusion that the
will should be set aside for the reason al
legged.

As Brave as Grace Darling.

A woman who is now assistant
keeper at White Head Light could en-
tighten those who wish to know some
thing of the experiences of lighthouse
keepers. In 1856 this woman lived at
Matinicus Rock, twenty-five miles from
the mainland, and inaccessible except
in pleasant weather. Her father,
Samuel Burgess, was the keeper at this
light, and his family consisted of an
invalid wife and five children, one
daughter Abbie, being Il Years old.
At the time of the memorable gale that
swept Minot's Light into the sea the
keeper happened to be away. The
heavy seas broke over the rock, wash
ing every movable thing away until of
the dwelling not a stone remained.
The little ones hurried the mother to
the tower, and then crept in themselves
as the sea cleared the rock of all save
the stone lighthouse. For four weeks
they lived there alone. for no human
being could 90 to their rescue, but
night after night Abbie lighted the
beacon, and it never failed to shine
through the gale.
One day in 1857 Mr.. Burgess left the
rock to obtain his salary and to secure
provisions. 4 gale prevented his re-
turn and the family ran short of food.
Abbie fashioned a sail, and her brother
who happened to be at home, started
in a small skiff to procure food. For
twenty-one days the family lived on a

The Earth Growing Larger.

The earth, travelling in its orbit
around the sun and onward with the
solar system around some unknown
and still greater center of attraction,
is constantly traversing new regions OF
space, which it depletes of meteoric
dust and meteorites, thus steadily-no
matter how slowly-increasing in
diameter. Now let this growth con-
tinue till the earth has just twice the
attractive power which it now possess
es, we should then have twice the num-
Der of meteorites and double the
quantity of dust falling annually upon
it.
Fortunately for our heads the earth
has not yet attained very formidable
dimensions, but we may look upon it as
an established fact that it constantly
gains in weight, and that in proper.
ton to such gain its attractive power
steadily increases.
The attractive force of the sun is so
enormous that perpetual hail OF
meteorites and torrent of dust par
ticles must rush upon it from all di.
rections, and some of the foremost OBJ
servers are now of opinion that these
falling bodies are the sole cause of the
suns heat.
In the light of this theory our earth
is young and growing, not an old
and dying planet; Il planet with d
future, which ought to be cheerful news
to all of us, although we shall not live
to reap the benefit of it, and the sun,
far from being on its last legs as an
expiring luminary, is steadily gaining
in heat and lighting capacity-Ameri.
