THEY WANT BLAINE.

Mr.. Thomas Y. Cooper, ex-chairman
Of the Republican Central Committee OF
Pennsylvania, was in the city to-day
He has Just returned from trip to the
South, and was accompanied by num-
Der OF prominent capitalists and newspa-
per-owners of Philadelphia. Mr.. Cooper
assisted in the recent campaign in his
State, but was not the chairman of the
committee. Mr. Andrews was the char
man. but the latter made such botch of
things that Senator Quay had to call in
Mr.. Cooper. The latter did what he
could, though il was too late to save Del
amater Mr. Cooper has been for many
years a friend and admirer of Secretary
Blaine. Some time ago it was stated. and
this was prior to the election, that Sena-
tor Quay intended throwing his in
huence and that of his friends in Penn
sylvania in favor of Mr.. Blaine for the
presidential nomination in 1892. Quay
saw that the cyclone was coming, and II
order to save himself in the future some
little power and prestige he was COM
PEELED to throw out the impression that
he would be for Blaine. Mr.. Blaine is
by long odds the towering man
above all others in the Republi-
can party at present and this
morning his old friend Cooper
went to see him. He remained some
time. The statement is made, too. that
Mr.. Cooper not only assured the Secre-
tary that he and other prominent Penn
sylyania Republicans would cheerfully
support him for the nomination in 1892,
but some of Mr.. Cooper's friends go
further ard declare that he strongly
urged Mr.. Blaine to announce himself n
candidate. Just what Mr.. Blame said is
mere conjecture, of course. for he will
not be apt to take any positive position
with regard TO his candidacy as for in
advance of the time for the meeting of
the next nominating convention.

RAlN-oR-sAlNE RIDING.
Word of Advice to Ladies' Fond OF
Equestrian Exercise.

A Word of Advice to Ladies' Fond OF
Equestrian Exercise.
There is no need of losing ride be-
cause of rain, and there are pleasures
given by ride in the rain which the
'fair-weather rider" never can know
pleasures of sight and of smell, new
aspects of otherwise perfectly familiar
scenes, which are almost like new Gre
alton. Nor need our coolest winter
weather deter any one. A woman has
decidedly the advantage over man in
winter, for her skirt acts the part of a
muff. and she need never fear cold feet.
/ In fact she need fear no suffering from
cold except in her hands. There are no
gloves which will keep them warm
while they hold the bride, but vigor-
GUS beating on the horses elastic quar-
tiers we'll behind the saddle will soon
send the warm blood tingling through
the fingers to their very tips, and after
that they will give no trouble for long
time. As to ears, they will never re-
sist rub and quick trot and once
warm they always stay so, as indeed
forced cramped position of the fingers.
1t is of great advantage here to be mis-
tress of two bride hands instead OF one.
A warm double breasted overcoat should
be worn, and then l know of no more
exhilaratlng thing than fast trot or
rapid gallop over the crunching white
carpet, while the loose, dry snow, flung
L.w he 40
trees by the wind, flies in the face
like the white foam of the sea, and
every muscle of the horse responds to
the Jingle OF the nerves in the sharp,
singing air. The whole atmosphere is
cleft through and through by the shafts
of light; the bare trunks and boughs OF
the trees are like beautiful sculptures
against the blue: the pines bear at the
tip of each branch, as it were, great
white. blossom, while the hemlocks
sway heavily under their snowy burden,
and we ride through all the glory. There
is another variety of pleasure in riding
through fast-falling snow-storm, when
the whole air is muffled and the horses
feet can not be heard. There is abso-
lult surety rum SAAppiiiS III ehV hSfSA7
Slip shoes, even on glare ice. The
horse knows this as soon as he touches
his feet to the ground; and as the points
in these shoes can be replaced by sharp
ones as soon as they are dulled, there is
no necessity of having the horses shoes
ruthlessly pulled off every week or fort
night to be sharpened. As also the points
can be changed for blunt ones when not
on the road, there is no danger of his
cutting himself with them in the stable.
There is absolutely no trouble with
them If the groom be careful not to let
them get rusted in, and little pains
every day will prevent this. But in
deed, il your groom be careless, you will
be more unfortunate than Francis l. at
Pavia, for all will be lost.-Anna G.
Bracket, in Harper's Magazine.

ENGLISH FOLK RHYMES.
Some That Are Sarcastic and Others
Which Are Compiim entary.

Some That Are Sarcastic and Others
Which Are Compiim entary.
On the walls OF the Newington Church,
London, in 1898 was written rhyme
anent the rebuilding of the church wi tn
out steeple and selling the bells:
Pious parson, pious people,
Sold the bells TO build the steepel;
very fine trick OF the Newington people,
To sell the bells TO build the steepel.
Rhymes on steeples are very common;
perhaps the best known is the one on
Preston, Lancashire:
Proud Preston, poor people,
High church and low steeple.
In a somewhat similar strain is the one
on Bowness-on-W indermere:
New church and old steeple,
Poor town and proud people.
Lincolnshire rhymes are very numer-
Gus, and complete collection would al
most fill book. Here are three:
Gainsbro proud people
Built new church to an old steeple.
According to the next:
Luddington poor people
Built brick church to a stone steeple.
A question is put and answered thus:
Boston Bostoni
What hast thou to boast ONT
High steeple, proud people.
And shoals that souls are lost on.
The village of Ugley, Essex, supplies
a satirical couplet;
Ugley church, Ugley people,
Ugley parson, Ugley people.
A Derbyshire rhyme refers to the in
habitants of four places as follows:
Ripley ruffians
Butterfly blocks
Swanwick bulldogs,
Alfreton shacks.
Equally severe is the following on
the people of the villages between Nor
witch and Yarmouth:
Halvergate hares, Reedham rats,
Southwood swine, and Cantley cats,
Acle asses, Moulton mules,
Brighton bears, and Freethorpe fools.
OF Derbyshire folks it is said:
Derbyshire born and Derbyshire bred,
Strong in the arm, but weak in the head
we next give two Kentish rhymes:
Sutton for mutton,
Kerby for beef
South Darve for gingerbread
hartford for a thief.
This is complimentary:
English Lord, German Count and French
Marquee,
A yeoman OF Kent is worth all three.

Making the Sun Work.

One of the most notable inventions
displayed at the Paris exhibition is
an apparatus for transforming the
hent of the sun into motive power for
pumping water and other mechanical
uses. 1t is the device of a French in
ventor named Charles Teller.
This apparatus is of great interest
as foreshadowing the time when solar
heat, in combination $ith electric
transmission OF force, will be made
to furnish motive power for all en-
gines, and take the place of coal and
steam-a change which will vastly
cheaper manufactures and travel,
and greatly enhance human comfort
the world over.
The heat which comes to the earth
in the suns beams is, a. has long
been known, the equivalent OF from
one to five or more horse power for
every square yard of the earths sur
face, according to the latitude and
the season of the year.
The utilization of this waste heat.
it's conversion into disable power. has
been the study of inventors, and
much time and great sums of money
have been spent uponit. NJ. Teller
contrivance aims to accomplish this
object. boro News.

DiseStablishment in England

English church disestablishment is
coming faster and faster to the front
of political discussion by the highest
authorities. At a great meeting in
Glasgow recently Lord Rosebery
said: Il approach the question in n
spirit perhaps somewhat different
from some OF those who are here to-
night. know many think that an
establishment is n national injury
and n national injustice. | cannot
take that view altogether. do not
consider that an established church is
either n necessity or an outrage. Ii
| may say SO, a church of some dis
cription is n necessity for n states
man, even if it were not n necessity
for man himself. But ofthe necessity
of an establishment the nation and
the state itself should be sole Judge.
The church is n necessity, but the es-
Establishment is n superduity. 1t is a
superiluity in which, in my opinion,
the state-the nation-has light tc
indulge il it chooses; but it isa super-
fluffy without which it can very well
do ii it pleasls."

The Oldest Man.
The Metropolitan.

Inc metropolitan.
Victoriana, who was probably the
oldest man who has lived in this CEN
fury is dead. Victoriano SOS an In
dian and was 1872 yea - age when
he passed to the happy-hunting-
grounds OF the good red man. He
passed his last days at an Indian vii
lage called Soboba which is situated
i'll the northern part of San Diego
county, California. Victoriana was
one OF the most picturesque and in
teresting figures among the scattered
tribes of the extreme West. He was
unique, in that be was noted for his
industry, honesty and sobriety. In
his younger days Victoriana was q
very "big lnjun," as was also his ia
Their before him. The latter was one
of the makers of Indian laws now ex-
listing among the redskins, and his
word was always final in the settle
ment ofdisagreements or the elucida-
ton of knotty subjects. A curious
incident in Victoriana's life was that
toward the close,of it, his eyes though
retaining their keenness of vision to
the last, slowly shrivelled and dried
up in his head, until there was no
trace of either eyelid Or pupil. Not
outstanding his losyof sight, how
ever, he Travelled about on a trusty
horse, havinggone to town on horse
back on the very day of his death.
He was true stole, with the indo-
mitable courage and indifference to
hardship SO characteristic of the
American Indian. Victoriana was
supposed to have reached the re-
markedly advanced age of 1872 years,
and in all probability was much old
er. His hair was perfectly whitc,
which is an occurrence of great rarity
among the redmen.

One might apply the same structure
to wishing for the possible when it's
attainment would not be altogether
pleasant.
Last summer, says the London
Graphic, two ladies staying in India
drove in a bullock tonga to see the
view from neighboring hill. The
prospect ofthe thick jungle, stretching
away for hundreds of miles, natural
ly suggested the idea OF game, and
one of them said:
How should like to see a real
live tiger just once in his native
glen"
The sun was beginning to sink as
they started to drive homeward by
an unfrequented track cleared
through the jungle. Soon they came
to an open space, and there, GAN at
once" writes one of them. ION look
ing up, saw what first thought to
be the stump CT felIed tree about
thirty yards off theroadway. As wo
drew little nearerI saw it was NOV

" Lookp said tony friend. It's

fortunately, the bullocks did not
scent him, or they would have bolted
and probably upset the tonga, leav-
ing us at the tender mercy of the
beast. AS we were passing him he
left the tree under which he had been
standing, and came toward us in q
crouching manner, asifmaking ready
for n spring. We then saw it was
tiger, and very fine one.
TO say we were frightened would
not be wide of the mark, especially
as he moved parallel with us for
about twenty yards, keeping his eye
upon us the whole time, and looking

of us for meal. The driver whipped
up his bullocks, we shouted, and one
OF us opened and shut a white UNI

the tiger, who disappeared into the
bush"

A Great Bridge,

New York seems to be in earnest
about making the Worlds Fair of
1892 something worthy of American
fame. The idea of erecting tower
to eclipse that OF M. Eiffel does not
appear to find very great favor. In
its place a far more practical scheme
is advocated by the American press.
A Philadelphia contemporary ad-
vises the New Workers to put q can
tilever bridge across the Hudson
from the Heights to Morningside
park. Any engineer can set truss
upon end as M. Eiffel has done. 1t
takes a genius to put that sticking
out sideways over space. The Eiffel
tower would not make railing to
the Forth bridge, which is equal to
six Eiflel towers strung out sidewise,
and while the Eiffel tower only bears
its own weight, the Forth bridge
would carry u pile of 300 locomo-
tives. If New York really wants to
to add to the wonders of the world
she should match the Forth bridge
with mightier rival. The Eiffel
tower is mere gingerbread and spun
glass by the side of such bridge as
would span the space from the exhi-
bitlon site to the New Jersey heights.
The two 700 foot cantilevers aud the
$50 feet of the central span in the
Forth bridge would have to be beat
en-, even with a central pier; but once
done all New York valuations would
feel the impulse for u century of a
bridge that blotted out the Hudson
for railways and left it untouched for
steamships.

A Story About Horace Creeley

To interrupt Horace Greeley when
he was in the throes ofbringing forth
an editorial-an editorial which has
never been equaled in the journalism
of America-an editorial which was q
slogan for his party, at hunderbolt
for his foes-.was n danger which no
friend, no enemy, none but u fool,
dared to encounter. | was once in
his editorial sanctum when the fool
was there, said Chnuncey Depew in q
speech to the Buffalo Press club. To
relieve your apprehensions, Twas not
the fool. But he was one of those
itinerant and persistent gentlemen
with subscription book. He kept
presenting it while old Horace was
writing-as most of you remember,
with his pen away up to his chin like
this Gllustrating)-and Horace had
n habit, when anyone would interfere,
of kicking, and SO he kicked at the
subscription fiend. Finally, when he
saw he could not get rid of the intrud-
er by this means he stopped in the
middle OF n sentence, turned round
and said raspingly in that shrill
voice of his:
what do you want? State it
quick, and state it in the fewest posi-
BILE words"
"Well," said the subscription fiend.
81 want n subscription, Mr.. Greeley,
to prevent thousands of my fellow
human beings from going to hell"
Said Mr.. Greeley: 81 won't give
you a - cent. There don't hall
enough go there now"

A Relic of Early Days.

While quarrying for building-stone
in the foothills, near the old st.
Mary's college, yesterday, Edward
Loughry found among some loose
rock on the surface q flint-lock dra-
COON pistol, bearing on the butt
plate the date $3.50" and the letters
''U. b." surmounted by the English
crown. 1t has been altered to pre-
cussion lock, the nipple being far for
ward on the barrel and the brass
socket of the flash-pan still remain
ing. The stock is of reddish wood
and has evidently been whitfield out
with a knife, the rough surface left by
the chipping being plainly visible, as
the stock has never been painted or
vanished. The trigger is broken off.
The spring OF the lock is still sound
and the hammer falls with vicious
snap suggestive of the days of 40.
