Speaking of spiders, vs. relate
another little instance that is very in
terestinG and appropriate in this con-
rection. SOME time ago | noticed a
fat old spider came to feed regularly on
blossom in the laboratory window,
and invariably a little honey bee would
appear on the blossom Mt the same
time. This being repeated number
of days nearly week to mako sure
the same visitors came every day, the
| spider and bee each were marked, and
every day the marked insects appeared
regularly; would feed often in close
proximity to each other without mo-
lesta,ion or desire to intrude, each
seeming aware of, bat not caring for,
the Others presence; and generally
about the same time, apparently salts
fed, would 60 away the spider to his
network of traps i'll an adjoining win
dow, AID the bee to it's hive. Finally
one day caught them both and ruth
lessly killed them. BY means of the
microscope, spectroscore, and chemical
analysis, found that these insects OBJ

A moral should adorn this storys for
the truthfulness of which will vouch.

There seems to be great deal of latent mis-
chief in the boys at the Reform School The
President and Attorney General MILLER paid
them visit last Sunday. After Mr.. HARRISON
had been lecturing them for some time on the
geysers of the Yellowstone the boys struck up
the suggestively- y-titled hymn, "Oh, Steal Away
to Jesus" Attorney General MILLER only had
time to make few remarks, but when he spoke
of coming again and making long address the
boys burst forth with ''Peace, Be Still"

1t would doubtless be good thing for the
Democratic party if the suggestion that Mr..
CALVIN S. BRICE should resign the chairman
ship of the National Committee were carried
into effect. A millionaire who endeavors with
all his might to shift the payment of the costs
of caring for his vast estate to the shoulders of
his poorer fellow-taxpayers in Ohio would hoo
doc any party in community not composed
largely of idiots. Mr.. BRICE can serve his party
best in that post where the general public will
see and hear least of him.

There is probably not the slightest founda-
ton for the report in circulation about town
that his fellow -triumvirs are growing uneasy at
the steady upward tendency of Engineer Com
missioner RoBERT's reform movement. Col.
ROBERT is no doubt disciple of our friend
Ko-ko, the Lord High Executioner of Titi-Pu,
who wished to begin practice with his snck-
ersnee on guinea pig, and work his way up
through the animal kingdom to the second
trombone. When Col. ROBERT entered the
Engineer Commissioners Office he had had no
experience in the reforming business, and nat
urally tried his hand first on such insignificant
objects as patrolmen, gradually working up
ward to lieutenants of police as he acquired
confidence and proficiency But of course Col.
ROBERT is a man of complete self-control and
mature discretion, and will not attempt to in
vestigate or reform when he reaches an official
stratum where things are entirely as they
should be. Therefore Col. ROBERTS colleagues
on the Board of Commissioners have no good
grounds for uneasness.

The opening article in the July Bed ford is en-,
titled ''Mormonism in Idaho" and is from the
pen of Capt JOHN GOODMAN. 1t is a plea for
humane and rational treatment of the Mormons,
and it is calculated to cause good citizens who
read it to pause and think. Capt. GOODMAN
draws heartrending picture of the injustice
which has resulted from the sweeping anti
Mormon legislation. the effect of which already
has been to draw the Mormons more closely to-
gether than ever and make them less peryious
to those outside influences which might in time
bring them in harmony with American institu-
tions. Besides Capt. CoDMAN's article the
July Bedford contains varied assortment of
timely and miscellaneous reading matter.

Our spirited contemporary, the Washington
Sentinel, has discovered that Mr.. CLEvELAND's IS
denomination in 1883 was secured by the use Of
Federal patronage. No doubt this had great
deal to do with it, but we think there was some
hypnotism in it also, and the effects of the lat
ter have not worn off yet This is shown by
the fact that a very large majority Of the dele
gates to the recent Democratic conventions in
Vermont, Maine Arkansas, and Missouri were
still dominated by the idea that Mr.. CLEVELAND
should be again nominated in 1892 No doubt
Mr. CLEVELAND even now has a corps of expert
hypROtizers in the field, and that the results of
their operations will be further disclosed as
other Democratic conventions are held from
time 10 time in other States.

benefits which have accrued from free trade
between the different States of this Union, and
argues that similar good results would follow an
extension Of free trade to the other governments
on the American Continent. No doubt they
would, but why stop with the American Con-

READY FOR WORK.
Prepar atiOns Complete for the
Worlds Fair Convention.

The State Convention of the Worlds Fair
Association will meet at the Metropolitan
Temple to-day, and the delegates will all be
here this morning 1t is expected that at
roll-call about 500 will answer to their names.
The hall has been put in perfect order, and
at 10 O'Clock this morning, Mayor Pond, act
ing as Chairman of the local organization,
will call the meeting to order, and temper
airy Chairman ard Secretary will be called TO
the platform until a permanent organization
is effected.
The object of the convention is to organize
a State association. The local organization
feels that it is in delicate position, for the
reason that if they were to map out plan
of procedure, il might be inferred that it
desired TO dictate the policy of the conven-
ton ard shape its course This is precisely
what it wishes TO avoid. 1t is to be State
convention and not city and county con-
vention, and the delegate from the remotest
county and village will have as much weight,
prOpOrtiOnately, as any one else. Without
this being fully understood, jealcuSes might
arise that would mar the harmony of the
pr0ce edings, and for this reason lorallZng
officers or committees will be studI0usly
avoided.
The delegates will each be furnished with

ner's Dilemma.
In Judge Coffey's court the second trial
of the Gershom p. Jessup will contest was
begun yesterday without jury. After the
case was called John H. Dickinson an
nourced that the attorneys ON both sides had
agreed to allow the expenses of reporting
and transcribiDg to be charged up against

Judge Coffey, however, refused to make
the order necessary to give effect TO
the agreement, which was subsequently
amended so that the losing party shall be
muleted in the costs. This is poor consola-

porter, whose presentation of bills 10 de-
feated litigants is not always pleasant
matter for after consideration.
