Senator Plumb's interference yesterday with
what was clearly the unanimous disposition OF
the Senate as to the time and method of closing
the tariff debate was particularly gratuitous
proceeding. 1t could not possibly serve any
purpose. good or bad, for Mr.. Aldrich's propo-
sition will be adopted to-day and will work
exactly the same result that would have been
accomplished by its adoption yesterday. Mr..
Plumb succeeded simply in calling public at
tention to himself as one who must have pub
lie attention, no matter how idle or frivolous
the action may be by which it is got. His
objection will have as much effect on Mr.. AL
rlrichs motion as a decayed twig could exert
on the progress of moving machine.
IF Il shall turn out that the Phinipsen who
murdered Mayer, the Dane, is still in confine-
ment in Copenhagen. and that the Phillipsen
who is held at the BARGE Office is not muir
derer at all, one of the most remarkable cases
of mistaken identity that has ever been heard
of will be discovered. In name, in appear
ance in manner and in peculiarities of speech
this Phillipsen exactly answers to the descrfp-
ton of the Phillipsen who was tried, convicted
and incarcerated for Mayors murder. Ii this
Pbillpsen is that Phillipsen, how he comes to
be here is as mysterious as how 1t could hap
pen that two men are in existence who are
such perfect duplicates. The story this Phil
lipsen tells is straightforward, though all
the more incredible on that account. But
whether he looks like himself or like another
man. he is certainly in most embarrassing
predicament
The bumptous Mr.. Beattie is becoming
something of nuisance. If he simply failed
to perform the service for which he draws his
salary he could be endured upon the same bad
principle which avails with New-Yorkers to
induce them to endure whole lot OF Tam
many good.for-nothings who consume the
public treasure without earning dime OF IT.
But when he tries to get nd OF his obligation
to sweep the streets BY delugips them with

Do you know how to tell good melons from
bad ones the ripe from the unrpc? Ii not, list
10 "Thc Lewiston Journal" 1t quotes fruit
grower wise in his generation, saying that the
muskmclon usually has nine ridges, which are
separated by narrow strips Of smooth skin, and
il these strips are green the melon is a good one
TO leave alone. On the other hand, if the strips
are greenish yellow and the rough skin on the
edges is brownish gray the melon is all right. 1t
is added that /" in watermelons, good one, when
pressed near the centre, should yield and the in
dentaton should disappear when the finger is re-
moved. If no indent can be made, the melon is
green. If it remains, it is oveTpe." From
time to time the public is thus kindly informed
how to select trustworthy melons But, although
they carefully follow drcctons-partculary in
respect 10 misunderstanding frequently meet with
cruel disappointment. In fact an impression is
rapidly gaining ground that the melon is about
as uncertain the white man. Indeed, the re-
mark which the white man once inspired may be
applied to the melon" the smilingest is often
the deccvngest'

THE FAT WOMAN.
One of the Difficulties she Meets with in
Travelling.


One of the Difficulties she Meets with in
Travelling.
1t seems that the seats in some of
the street cars are not made especially
for the convenience and comfort of per-
sons of certain buila This was clear
ly proven yesterday in a Brooklyn car
The passenger was woman abnor-
mally short and stout. She was so
stout that she made three rushes be-
fore she got through the door. Once
seated, the depression and backward
tilt in the seat combined 10 anchor her
there forever.
The fat woman rode along serenely
enough until she found she had reached
her destination, and then began a
struggle which excited the liveliest
interest. The fat woman's feet did not
reach the floor by four inches, and she
was, in measure, at the mercy of adj
verse circumstances. She signalled
the car to stop, and then bSyan to rock
forward so as TO transfer the center of
gravity to point that would enable
her to slide her feet to the floor.
But the scheme wouldn't work.
She wonld rock forward. but in the
rebound she would settle down frmer
than ever in the low-cut seat and
against the side of the car.
A number of parcels she was carrying
interfered. somewhat with her move
ments, and as her struggles grew more
furious one by one.the parcels flew out
of her hands and across the car.
The expression on her face did not in
vite assistance from any one, and all
were slow too offer any, hoping that
every rock would land her on her feet,
and she herself would be master of the
situation.
The car had stopped and the con-
ductor was standing with his hand on
the bell-cord. The fat woman was still
plunging and diving, but there APP
peared to be an unseen force that drag
ged her back with constantly increas-
ing violence.
bod rat the pesky seat" she ex-
claimed at last, plunging harder than
ever.
The whole car was rocking from the
violence of her exertions. and three or
four street gamins looked through the
viii dows to see what the matter was.
"Git on to de fat gal wild de fit" ex-
claimed one of the boys.
Two or three of us sprang to the
woman's assistance. while others gath
cred up her parcels, and so We helped
her out of the car.
IL don't wish nobody no HARM" she
said, as a couple of us handed her to
the street, bat if L did it would be
that they get so fat and foolish that
they can't walk and dassent sit down in

The Pc mr. Rear.

We are never so much reminded of
the truth of the saying that "the back
is fitted for its burden" as when we
read how Nature endows dumb Great
ures with instincts for their preserva-
ton. No matter how stupid an animal
may he to outward appearance, it al
ways knows how to earn its living and
take care of itself and its young.
The polar bear is taught by Won
derful instinct to shelter her young
under the snow. In December she re-
treats to the side of q rock, where, by
dint of scraping and letting the snow
fall upon her, she forms n cell In which
to live during the winter. There is no
fear that she should be stihed for want
of air, for the warmth of her breath al
ways keeps small passage open
Within this strange nursery she pro-
duces her young, and remains with
them beneath the snow till March,
when she comes out into the air with
her baby bears. As the only use of
the snow burrow is to shelter the young,
the male bears do not hibernate like
the females, but roam freely about
during the winter months.
Before retiring unde- the saov the
bear eats enormously, 40 that slas be-
comes very fat, thus having in m inter
nal store of food, which easbles her
not only TO support her own life but
to nourish her young during her long
seclusion.
BY an admirable provision of Nature,
the young polar bears are extremely
small at birth, and grow slowly SO long
as they are in their crystal nursery,
thus needing little food aud space.
When they emerge from their shelter
the mother bear is extremely thin and
