Essays have been written, by the
way, upon that deplorable physical con-
dilion yulgarly termed the Jag" aud
It's various conditions and phases have
taxed TO the utmost the descrip i've
powers of learned men, but there is
welI-kuown young railroad man here in
town who is the eXploiter Of q new
species Of the jtg which has not yet
found place in the encyclopedia of the
bibulous. Its what might be properly
termed the photographed jag" This
Young man is great friend of Opie

cullar .'iag" of his coming on he inn
meGately hunts up Opie, usually finding
him at the Press Club. Under the sub
tile spell of this unique jag the young
mans eyes fill up with Fook Of owlish
wisdom, and he ayails himself, in speak
ing, of a single gesture, which is very
like the one employed by the dealer
when the man across the table asks him
for one card. When Opie introduces
his friend 10 any one the young man
will resort TO his sole gesture and say:

Idn and the Oranee seed.

Here is nice sweet orange for you, -
said nurse to lit,ls Ida one day; "but
be sure not to swallow the Seeds"
Ida made little hole in the orange
and began to suck it. 1t was very juicy,
and she liked it very much. But when
she was almost through with it, she
happened to swallow seed.
She ran to Nurse Mary at once to tell
her about it.
''Will it grow inside of me, nurse?''
she asked.
Nurse Mary laughed. "Wait and
see, " she said. "If you find little
orange tree coming up, you must tell
me"
One morning Ida's mother saw her
standing before a mirror with her
mouth wide open. She was trying to
see down her throat.
what are you doing, Ida?' asked her
mother.
''I'm looking for my orange tree, an
swered Ida, tears in her brown eyes;
I'm afraid it Viii choke me when it
comes up.
Mamma did net know what Ida
meant, and Sue laughed very much
when the lIttle girl told her about the
seed she had swallowed. She told Ida
there was no danger that tree would
grow from il.
But it was long time before Ida for
got what nurse had said, and for many
weeks she w;ss often seen standing be-
fore a mirror with her mouth wide open,
looking for that orange tree which
might come up after all. Florence Il.

The Senate committee on Terri
tories, in the report recommending
the passage of the bill to admit
Idaho as a State, after describing the
educational advantages, the proper
ty interests and the vast resources
of the Territory, say: On the FIRST
day of January the Territory had
sufficient money to pay all its float
ing Indebtedness, and leave bal
ancs in the treasury of about $780,
600. No census having been taken
since 1880 the number of inhabitants
can only be estimated. Gov. Shoupe
estimated it last year at III, 225,
which, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, is a conservative estimate.
The present rapid development of
the Territory warrants the belief
that within the first year after adj
mission the population of the State
would be at least 10000.

A number Of prominent Geor-
gians were arrested on the 18th,
charged with conspiracy. Their
crime was the burning in efigy of
Postmaster Duckworth, of Sharon,
an unpopular Republican lately
appointed to Office. The arrest of
these persons, for SO slight an Of
fence, is purely a political matter,
and shows that the Republicans
are already beginning to manufac-
ture "outrages" for the next cam

The Louisiana State Lottery il
said to have received a bid from
North Dakota for the establishment
of this iniquity in that State. On
the heels of this bit of information
the lottery organs are stoutly as
sorting that Louisiana will merely
lose the large incidental benefits,
without getting rid of the objec-
tionable features, as tickets will
still be sold here, while the vast
sums of money to keep the machine
rolling will be spent elsewhere.
We say let Dakota, or any other
State that wants it, have the
machine. 1t is an engine for evil,
and should be suppressed as an I'm
fernal machine" destructive to the
best interests of the commonwealth,

The carnival in New Orleans is
said to have drawn the largest
crowd of visitors to that city this
year that has ever been present
during the festive season. The day
parade of Rex represented 'sThe
Rulers of Ancient Times" while
at night Proteus furnished FAM
tastic pageant of "Elf Land" in a
series of eighteen tableaux. The
Mystic Krewe Of Comus took Sec.

its twenty-three tableaux, taken
from its former presentations, we're

every particular.

library gift, the only question raised
and that by one member of common
council-being whether the donation
was prompted by generosity or gratitude,
two of the noblest sentiments which
actuate the human mind. On motion of
Mr.. Carnahan, common council took a
recess that the members might hear the
speeches on the Carnegie library ordi-
nance in the select branch.
The Gift Accepted.
On re-assembling the Carnegie library
matter was taken up, and the communi-
cation from Mr.. Carnegie was received
and filed. The select council resolu-
ton, accepting the gift and thanking
the donor, was passed. Mr.. Carnahan
made an address in which he said he
spoke, not because he considered that
the ordinance needed support, but be-
cause he thought it fit that the ordi-
nance should not be allowed to pass
without individual expressions of graft
tude from members of councils. Few
people comprehend the magnitude of the
great gift and its blessings. Mr.. Carne-
gle had said in the speakers presence
that he attributed his success and that of
his companions-and all of them have
been successful men-to the knowledge
they gained in the old Anderson library
in Allegheny. The speaker spoke of the
good the Carnegie libraries would do to
Pittsburg, the chances they will open up
to the people in the town who can not
now get at the books they require.

Tuesday the sophomore class of Wabash
college here stole an elegant new flag
from the freshmen class. it had been
specially prepared for Saturday parade
Wednesday the freshmen caught Abe
Andrews, sophomore, playing spy on
meeting they were holding, and beat
him so badly he has not left his bed
since. Friday the sophomores stole an.
other flag from the freshies. Friday
night members of the two classes met on
Some one rang the college bell, all the
students and faculty rushed to the spot,
and Professor Joseph Tuttle, president
of the college, was knocked senseless by
an unknown party. He is severely hurt.
Overpowered the Police.
The police ended the fight A squad
of police was then placed in the center
building to prevent either class from
taking possession, as they threatened,
and planting their flags on the belfry.
About midnight the sophomores ap-
peared, overpowered the police and un-
furled their flag. AT daylight the fresh
les appeared and terrible fight, lasting
several hours, followed. The sopho-
mores threw their enemies out windows
and off of walls with reckless disregard

expelled. There is much excitement

POOR HTMANTTSi

The common lot is one of sorrow say
at least-the pessimists, they who look at
the worst side. Certainly what would
otherwise be a bright existence, is often
shadowed by some ailment that over
hangs it like pail, obscuring perpetually
the radience that else would light the
path. Such an ailment, and very com
mon one, is nervousness, or in other
words, weakness of the nervous system,
a condition only irremediable where in
efficient or improper means are taken to
relieve it. The concurrent experience OF
nervous people who have persistently
used HOStetter's Stomach Bitters is, that
it conquers entirely supersensitiveness of
the nerves, as well as diseases-sO called
which are invited and sustained by
their chronic weakness. As the nerves
gain stamina from the great tonic the
trouble disappears. Use the Bittters for
malaria, rheumatism, billiouSness and
kidney troubles. 26-4t

The fearful unbelief is unbelief in

Reason bears disgrace, courage COM

Our virtues live upon our income; and
our vices consume our capital.
Sleep is a generous thief; he gives to

One may live TRANQUILITY in dungeon,

More helpful than all wisdom is one
draught of simple human pity that will

Phenomenon witnessed in

Remarkable Phenomenon witnessed in
Virginia.
PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. GA remark
able phenomenon was witnessed here on
Thursday morning, the like of which has
never been seen before. About o'clock
an angry-iooking cloud passed over here,
enveloping the city in darkness for about
ten minutes. Lamps and gas had to be
lighted to enable people to see what they
were about. Many people were fright
ened by the appearance of the cloud,
which came from the west and travelled
due east The people in the surrounding
country were also scared by the sudden
darkness. The cloud also passed over
Burkville, sixty miles west of here,
where the darkness was as great as it
was here.
