WILL CARLETON is reported as having
recently said: "Other writer's of verse
have laid great stress on the artistic
faculty which many of them have pos
sessed in an eminent degree, but with
me the aim has always been first and
last to reach the heart of the people,
and to say those things which should
entertain and make better. 1 hope !
have not altogether failed in my efforts.
I would rather appeal to the heart of a
man than to his intellect"

A NEGRO and his wife, both we'll
dressed, and both as black as chunks
of anthracite coal, boarded crowded
car in Cincinnati the other night. The
man stood on the platform, his wife
found seat inside. The conductor
came for the fare. "I'll pay for two,"
the black man said, myself and the
lady in the car. "Thecolored woman 2"
the conductor politely asked. "No," was
the surprising answer, "the negress
who sits on the right-hand side"

WHICH class of population is the most
addicted to reading, asks the Pail Mall
Budget. Some interesting light is
thrown on the question by the latest re-
port of the Birmingham free libraries
committee. Among other tables there
in given is one showing the occupations
of borrowers admitted during 1889.
Here are some OF the figures: Scholars
and students, 1892; clerks and book.
keepers, 1,13S; errand and Office boys,
301; teachers, 293; shop assistants,
290; jewelers., 216; compositors and
printers, 1872; milliners and dress
makers, 100. Almost at the bottom OF
the list come journalists, 6; news
agents, 2; and reporters, 2. Is this be-
cause they have libraries of their own,
or because the people who write in
newspapers lose the taste for reading
books?

A LITERARY gourmand of Paris, NJ.
Hiroguelle. having been successful in
getting his figure pared down. it is pre-
dicted that the surgical treatment of
obesity will become the fashion among
fat men. In this case two surgeons
performed the operation, putting the
patient under chloroform, raising the
skin, and cutting away four and three
fourths pounds of adipose tissue. Re-
covery was complete in q week, with
such improvement in comfort that fur
thar parings of the body were at once

ANY experime mt made to ascertain
how long a man can exist without food
endangers the health. The human
machine can consume itself when it gets
no fresh fuel, and this process may last
until there is nothing left to consume.
Death then ensues, due either to ex-
haustion or loss of heat. A fat pig was
buried in it's sty for one hundred and
sixty days under chalk cliff. It's
weight was reduced from one hundred
and sixty pounds to forty pounds. In
1881 a murderer at Toulouse committed
suicide by abstaining from food for
sixty-three days. A few years ago a
lady determined to eat nothing; she
died on the fiftieth day. A French
doctor who made experiments on AMI
mails found that sudden death was not
uncommon long before the normal time.
This occurred from "syncope."

calling light half soyereigns was very sue
cessiul, and it is assumed he will repeat
it now in order to placate bankers who so
far as they have been sounded are dis
posed to- be hostile to the idea of one

This hostility is due to their belief that

THE TEA TRADE GOING FROM BAD
TO WORSE.

Minister Denby Secures Settlement for
American Chinese Claims--Cholera
Raging Violently in Japan.
SAN Francisco, August 14.-By the
arrival of the steamship City of Pekin,
advices from Hong Kong to July 18th,
and from Yokohoma to July 2Sth, have
been received.
There are complaints that the tea
trade is going from bad to worse.
United States Minister DENLY has
secured settlement OF all American
claims for compensation. Some of these
claims were for the destruction of mis-
sionary property in Canton province
eight years ago.
Fire occurred in Toxic recently,
poorer class.
Cholera has broken out on the Turkish
frigate Ertongrouge, at Xokohoma.
At Bouthain, in the Celebes, house
boy ran amuck, killing eight persons,
mortally wounding four more, besides
injuring several others. He was finally
killed.
The Japan Gazette says during the
| first half OF the present year, fourteen
| private banks were established with
capitals aggregating $S93,000.
AS the present result of the king of
Slams tour through the Malay provin-
ces, five lighthouses will be built on the
coast.
The disappointment felt at the result
OF the recent elections in Japan is wide
spread. Qualified men refused to COM
pete with the young candidates, and the
result is that the majority of the men
elected are unknown to fame This will
tend to bring parliament into disrepute,
and will be used as an argument by
those who are opposed to a constitutional
government.
The cholera epidemic is-rapidly gain
ing ground, 303 cases and 179 deaths
having been reported in Nagasaki.
Cholera is also reported at Yokohama
and other Japanese cities.

THE OCEANSIDE TRAGEDY.
Did FL. N. Gregory Die of Wounds In
hicted by Himself?

Did III. N. Gregory Die of Wounds In
fiicted by Himself?
SAN Diego, Cal. August 14,-H. N.
Gregory, the Santa Fe agent at Ocean
side, was discovered last night in a pool
OF blood on the floor OF his office, with
seven bullet holes in his head, and a
revolver lying near. He was alive
when found, but died in a
few minutes without regaining
consciousness. The tragedy has thrown
the town into fever of excitement
and while the coroners jury today rem
dered a verdict of suicide from tempor-
ary insanity produced by overwork, loss
OF sleep and anxiety over love affair,
there are many who maintained that
he was murdered by robbers who at
tackled the office.
The pistol when found had three car
tridges unexploded in the seven cham
bers while the dead man had two bullets
in the forehead, two over the right tenn
pie and three in the back of the ear, at
the base of the brain. Gregory had
only been in charge of the office at
Oceanside three weeks, being promoted
from the smaller place of Encinitas. He
was Mason and member of the A. o.
U. w. He was about thirty years old.
