French by the allies "with great daughter" and states that 241 pieces of artillery were captured. This is as far e the particulars go, although there are columns of gush. No detailed account of the engagement is given; no estimate of losses Is made, and four lines of chalk on bulletin board would express everything of real value contained In almost two pages of print.
 There is good deal of sense left in the Republican party. The Philadelphia Press thus talks some of 1t: kessrs. Blair and Cameron and the senators from the silver states do not constitute the Republican party. Every Republican senator. east of the Missou- ri river, with these two exceptions, voted against free coinage. A Republican House refused to give the bill pressrence yesterday, and when the time comes we doubt not it will put quietus on free coinage, Should, however, another combination be made be- tween the Democrats and a score. of oheap- money Republicans, and this free coinage bill be passed in the House, a Republican President will write across 1t, "I forbid. |" If there is to be any visitation on our cur rency it must be done by direct Democratic agency, and the Democratic party must shoulder the responsibility. The Repub- lioans have fought the Democrats for twenty five years on some form of this issue and will not surrender to them now. If the country really wants fiat money or an unlimited SO cent dollar currency, it must put the Demo- cratic party in full power.

How One Board of Education 1mm0r-
 talked Itself.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 In model city, far, far away there are certain methods of trsnsaeting business that are worthy of admiration and imitation. Es- peeially might we at this time call the ar- tention of the Board of Education to the as- tute and commendable action of their oon- temporaries in this distant and unparalleled town. These gentlemen, having pledged themselves to introduce free text books in due time, set about redssming their promises, and being munifeent men, spared no expense in providing lavish- ly material from which the rising generation might derive that usefal knowledge which is supposed to make incomparabls citizens for this great republic. All went merry ss 6 marriage bell. Everybody WAS happy but the munifcent men. Now If they conld only devise some scheme by which to recommend themselves still more highly to their commitments and establish themselves still more firmly in the affections of the, taxpayers, their glory would be of that durable quality that never fades. Eureka! the teachers salariesl They the above mentioned teachers, are a meek, long-suffer- | ing race. They have for the most part rs- ! responsibilities and cares that will prevent | them from seeking opportunities elsewhere. They have no "lnions" to support them in [ l protest against such shameful injustice. l They are shrinking, sensitive women who have been eduoatsd to lsok for hon. or sAd manly principle iu the ''sublime rulers" of their dsstinies.

Deashly Terpor from tho Kali Mujah. Savannah Dispatch to The Philadelphia Timss.l
 A magnificent kali mujah, or death plant of Java, has been recently received here by Mrs. Madison Black. The specimen, which Is the only living one that mas ever been brought to this country, was sent to Mrs.
 Black by her brother, Jerome Hendricks,
 who went out as a missionary to the island.
 The kali mujah is found only in the volcanic
 districts of Java and Samatra, and then but
 rarely. It grows from two to three and (
 half feet in height, with loag, slender stemi
 armed with thorns nearly an ineh long. and
 covered with broad, satin-snooth leaves oi
 heart-shape and of @ delicate emerald or one eide and blood-red, streaked with cream on the other.
 The fowers of the death plant are large milk-white and cup like, being about tn size and depth of large Poffes cup, ans | having the rim guarded by line, brier-lik
 thorns.

The country seat of the elder Wright was on Powder mill lane, near Frankford, whore the son, Robert J., also resided, and for nearly
 twenty years was scarcely seen out of doors.
 He kept himself looked up in e room from
 which every ray of daylight was excluded. He also had doctor attend him regularly, d. though he had no ailment. He had oouot arranged in the room on which he lay, and seldom it was that he was found upon hi feet. The hallucination that he was suffering from disease lasted for many years.
 The late Dr. William Guernsey of Frank ford was fer several years Wrights physicisn One day, while seated near the cot on which Robert was lying, the doctor said to him "Mr. Wright, you could not walk If you wanted to, could youP Quick as flash tht sick man bounded out of bed and skipped several times around the room"like rabbit, as Dr. Guernsey said in describing the scen' one day, ,and when he jumped into bed agail he said to the doctor: "Can's though" About eighteen years ago and subsequen to the death of his father he rented the larg Washington Hotel at Taeony, and movet there with his adopted daughter, e Ms Wernie.

Why He Held On.


 Workmsn were hoisting stone next door to Frankie's house, where e new building was going:up, the motive power being Q donkey engine. The signal for hoisting was given by the sound of @ whistle, and the nan to whom fell the duty of blowing this stood out of sight of the engineer.
 One day Frankie and small friend wore standing as close to the rope as they were al. lowed te come when the whistler was called away for a moment. The man who made the stone went for a drink, and the two boys orept up to the tackle.
 Unluckily the other boy spisd the whistle lying on timber, and just as Frankie had seized the rope his friend gave shrill blast l. The engine inside its shed began to puff, and, with squeal, up went Frank into the air. The werkmen came running by shout l ing to the engineer to reverse the machine l and to the boy not to let go. The lad wal | up to the second story before he could b, l stopped, but here a carpenter managed tt seizs him and draw him unhurt into . win. dow.
 "You did we'll to hold on, little fellow, ,"hs said, ss he got the boy into safety.

 There are worse places to teach school in than New Haven. After one of the pupils had drawn revolver on his teacher in San Francisco school the other day . policeman was called in, and . search made of the other scholars. When the search was finished thirty five revolvers lay on the superinten- dents desk, along with doken big knives and several slug-shots.
 It is said that there are thirty-fivs kinds of granite in Maine, each of which possesses distinctive characteristics readily recognized by workmen acquainted with monumental and building stones. There are all shades of what are termed white granite, the most beautiful of which is the Hallowell, together with the red granite of Rcd Bsaoh and the black granite of Addison.
 There are several big ar mics in Europe. Tho official report in the German Rsichstag by Commissioner Major Calde showed that the Russian army, according to the plan of mobilization for 1889, on war footing, was 2,670, ,00O. That of German was only g. so0,o0 or 2,90O,ooo. including 177,00o drilled reserve men. That of France was 3,2ss, ,00O and TIA, ,000 drilled reserve men. Germany had two or three hundred thou. sand men fewer than France. The army oi Austria, with Hungary. had war footing oi 1, ,150, ,000, and that of Italy 1,o90, 900. se l shat the Triple Alliance powers have 5, ,140,- GOO in all against the 5,805, 600 of Russia and France, that is, about e60. 900 men fewer. l All employers are not too greedy.

The Cuban Sugar Crop.

The Havana Weekly Report says: 1.-THE i'm
mense quantity of water fallen last week in tn q
greater part of our sugar producing districts ha-
considerably interfered with grinding opera
tions and has altogether interrupted the labor
in the fields, in which large quantity of cane
remains uncut, and on this account this year s
crop may be considered virtually ended. Up to
the 2lst ult. SAC, 914 bags OF sugars have been
produced in the district of Cieafuegos, which
represent about So, 40 coo, exclusive of second
class sugars, molasses and rum. In less than
ten years the sugar production in said locality
three or four estates only mu scovado was
formerly produced. At Remedies, especially in
the Yaguaiay valley, the results of the crop
have been much more satisfactory than those
obtained last year, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing:
