DANA MADE AN ISSUE.
Republican EaEerness to Sling Mud ut
MI. Cleveland.

MT. Cleveland.
The desperate desire of the protec-
tionists to divert public attention from
the tariff question is singularly illus
trated by the eagerness with which the
Republican papers have backed up the
New York Suns BLACKBOARD assaults on
ex-President Cleveland That paper
has recently been publishing coarse and
disgusting falsehoods concerning an al
legged enormous increase in Mr.. Cleve-
lands weight. Even if they had been
true, the stories are such as could not
have found their way into any decent
newspaper. A reporter of the World
was sent to inquire If Mr..
Cleveland had any thing to say
In response to these stories Mr..
Cleveland wrote out and handed to the
reporter a paragraph, saying that he
had not seen the article, as he never
reads the Sun, but that he judged from
what the reporter told him that the
editor of the Sun had at last hit on a
subject that he supposed would annoy
him (Cleveland). The reporter pub
Eshed this as merely part of a long in
terview, in which Mr.. Cleveland was

coarse.
Mr.. Cleveland repudiated the inter
view and the World, after investigation,
editorially declared that it was con-

scented the ex-President- The Sun.
which had already replied to the alleged
denunciation of its editor in language
!, %-sI %<&l
Cleveland, pretended to believe the re-
porter and minated that Mr.. Cleve-
land and the editor of the World were
both lying about the matter. The Re-
publican papers have eagerly accepted
the Suns idea and a weekly paper, pub
lished by a firm in which President Har-
rison's son is partner, prints conspicu-
ously letter in which the reporter says
that Mr.. Cleveland said all that he at
tributed to him and roundly cursed Mr..
Dana The correspondent himself,
however, makes it plain that the writ
ten memorandum is all that he had
authority to publish as coming from Mr..
Cleveland; and that the other things he
printed are merely his recollections of
an alleged private conversation between
himself and Mr.. Cleveland. That is to
say, he confesses himself q blackguard
in order to show that he is not a liar.
The public is not likely to believe such
a man when his word is pitted against
that of one Of the most honest and
fearless public men that our country
has ever known
The alacrity with which the Rer1b-
iican papers have taken this matter mp

are to escape the discussion Of the real

She bowed her head awhile, and then, a.
! spake not, once more went on:
sLet all my sin be told, Harmachis, and
then let justice come. See how this thing
happened. Half did Cleopatra learn to love
thee, and deep in her heart she bethought
her of taking thee to welded husband. For
the sake of this halt love Of hers she spared
the lives Of those in the plot whom she had
meshed, bethinking her that If she welded
thee she might use them and thee to draw
the heart Of Egypt. which loves not her nor
any Ptolemy. And then, once again she en-
trapped thee, and in thy folly thou didst be-
tray to her the secret of the hidden wealth
Of Egypt, that to-day she squanders to de-
light the luxurious Antony; and, OF q truth,
at that time she purposed to make good her
oath and marry thee. But on the very morn
when Dellius came for answer she sent for
me, and, telling me ail-for my wit, above
any. she holds at price Of me
my Judgment whether she should defy An
tony and wed thee, or whether she should
And I-now mark thou all my sin IL, in my
bitter jealousy, rather than would see her
thy welded wife and thou her loving
lord, counseled her most strictly
that she should couae to Antony,
well knowing, for I had had speech

weak Antony would fall like ripe fruit at
her feet as indeed. he has fallen. And to
night have / shown thee the issue of the
scheme. Antony loves Cleopatra and Cleo
pakra loves Antony, and thou art robbed,
and matters have gone well for me, who of
all women on the earth tonight am the
wretchedest by far. For when I saw how
thy heart broke, but now my heart seemed
to break with thine, and no longer could
bear the burden Of my evil deeds, but knew
that must tell them and take my punish
ment.

the increased price originally put on the

over again OF the enrichment of the few
at the expense of the many. The bless

rich, and we proceed to make these
blessings greater by adding the bless

not sufficiently strong already, we sap

A Neglected Branch.

We are taught in school to read and
write but how many of us are ever
taught how to talkp And if we wished
to learn where should we seek a
suitable teacherp And yet among all
the accomplishments which men and
women possess there is not one that
can give so much pleasure as an ability
to talk pleasantly and entertainingly.
Think how many things 60 to make up
good talk-a good voice, well disci-
plined, "soft and low" one that rests
rather than tires, voice with music in
it. Next, well stored mind. Next,
possession of the art of putting things,
for it is quite as important that
you say thing right as that you
say the right thing. Then to COM
municate information in such way as
to make it appear that you assume no
superiority. Wendell Phillips, who
was perhaps as delightful and charm
ing a conversationalist as Boston ever
had, would always put it: You re-

PeccARY VS.. LOCOMOTIVE.
How Pack of the Obstinate Little Brutes
Came to Grief

A Fort Davis (Tex.) correspondent
of the N. Y. Times writes: The follow
ing story, which has now become a
part of the unwritten history of this
section, will best serve to illustrate the
headstrong disposition and wonderful
courage of the little peccary. The
Southern Pacific Railroad, which
passes this point for part of its route,
cuts through long stretch of chaparral
country Astounding with peccaries,
wild mustangs, and various wild ami
mails. One day, while driving along
at moderate speed through the Pecos
bottoms, an engineer saw a herd of
small animals scattered along the track
few hundred yards ahead. Believing
them to be domestic porkers, he blew
the whistle couple of blasts and kept
straight ahead supposing of course.
that the brutes would take the hint
and get out of the way. No such
thing. With shouts in the air they
scornfully surveyed the approaching
engine and made up their minds to
stand their ground. Quickly forming
a semi-circle en- masse, with angry
eyes and crashing teeth they coolly
awaited the crash, evidently determined
to demolish the locomotive and cars
or get s'busted" themselves, SO to
speak. Still the engineer thought they
would move and made no attempt to
ease up or stop the train, When al
most upon them he saw that a collision
was inevitable, and so he opened the
throttle, set the old whistle to screech-
ing, and bore down upon the band
with all the speed he could command.
Crash! he went through the band of
peccaries like rocket, filling the air
with spare ribs, tenderloins, and bits
of flying pork. Those belligerent lit
tie rascals who were unhurt rushed
madly at the wheels, the cars. and the
cow-catcher, showing their spitefulness
to the bitter end, but, of course, they
were smashed out of existence in their
attempt to do-nothing.
The engineer says: Next day when
i came back over the road there were
the remaining peccaries on the same
spot, arranged in battalion front, and
all waiting for the train to come along
so that they could get even for the
previous days disaster. Away / went
at them again, filling the atmosphere
with pork, while the live ones frantical-
ly rushed at the cars, wheels, and
trucks, attempting in their mad fury
to wreck the train. This they kept up
trip after trip until only three pee
carries remained. True to their reso-
luton, when the final day came they
took bold stand side by side in the
middle of the track and prepared to
make last fight for the honor of pee
carries and hogs generally. Two were
tossed into eternity by the cowcatchcr
and the third was cut into sections by
the iron wheels. Since then no more
peccaries have attempted to buck
against Uncle Sans mail"

DOWN ON THE BABOON.
1t Has Become Sadly Demoralized with
the Advance of Civilization.

The balloon, writes the Graaff-Reinet
Advertiser. south African paper,
seems to be changing climatic condi-
tons. In former years he was a vege-
tartan, his worst offense being stealing
mealies in the gardens when he got the
chance. Now he has taken to other
ways of getting livelihood. Some
say he has joined the carnivora. Any
way it is certain that he makes it a
food business to get hold of lambs, tear
them open, aud drink their mothers
milk in their stomachs. Said a farmer
the other day to brother farmer:
Have you lots of honey on your
farmp"
mo: the balloons rob all the nests. :"
How do they do itp The bees
would sting them to deathp"
The answer was that probably the
balloons did the work in the night,
when the bees were drowsy, sleepy, and
dull. Anyway he believed the balloons
got off with the swag of honey when
ever they could get at a nest.
Then Peter Booysen of Moontontcin
has his story to tell of the new devel-
opment of the baboon: 1t attacks the
wild aloe, pulls it down, and tears out
the pith for food. Mr.. Booysen. ST.,
does not object to this, as he would be
glad if all the wild aloes on his farm
were cleared out by any means whatso-
ever. The special wish of father and
son is that balloons would take some
food-providing operations which would
get rid of the prickly pear. But as
the substance of the leaf and of the
trunk of the prickly pear is nothing but
water the wish is not likely to be graf
flied. Anyway the poisoning clubs
have classed the baboon with the wild
carnivora, and the rifle and arsenic are
now busy destroying them.
Farmers give interesting instances of
the difficulty of poisoning the baboon,
the fellow being about as "slick" us a
human being. One farmer believes
the fellow tastes the poison as prepared
and disguised for him, and if he finds
it is not a good thing for the stomach
spits it out. That farmer, however,
has succeeded in giving the arsenic
such palatable surroundings that the
shrewdness of the baboon is not proof
against the palatable temptation, and
he dies.
