! 1t will not be forgotten that for a
long time after the enactment of the
Interstate commerce law the columns
OF some of the great dailies fairly
groaned with predictions of the dis
astrous results that must ensiia H.
the railroads unless the law was
modlhed or repealed. It was urged
! !hat the Gripping of the roads must
lead to general business prostration
and woeful pictures were drawn on
the wide spreading evils that must
ensue from the attempt to regulate,
through government interference.
the system of robbery of the people
at large for the benefit of the great
cities and terminal points, that had
grown up under the unrestricted
reign OF railway corporation. While
these evils have not been wholly
throttled, there has been a great
change for the better, and the pre-
dicted disasters to the railroads
have not materialized. On the con-
trary the majority are paying very
good dividends upon their stock, in
cluding all the water that has been
poured into it. The New York Tri-
bune has printed the gross earnings
OF sixty-six companies on systems
for the first week in December, which
shows an aggregate gain of $541, ,418.
or 30 per cent. upon the same week
OF last year. OF the total number.
fifty companies have returned gains
averaging 1873 per cent, and sixteen
companies have returned losses
averaging 11.2 per cent. For the
second week of December forty-two
companies or systems have returned
gains aggregating $458,3 $40, or 12.1
per cent. Of the number, thirty-six
have returned gains averaging 1915
per cent, and six companies have re-
turned losses averaging 8 per cent.
Wadena Tribune:
E. W. Fish, the genial editor of the
GREAT WEST, published at St. Paul.
was in the city on Wednesday looking
after the unruly editor of the Pioneer
We were honored by very pleasant
call from him, and were much impress-
ed by his common sense views on the
Alliance question. Under his careful
guidance the GREAT WEST is rapidly
coming to the front both as an Ali
ance and labor organ.
Next week we will publish an edito-
rial from the Tribune on Livernool
prices for wheat.

A Famous Ohio Poet.

Captain George W. Cutter, author
of The Song of Steam, e Pluribus
Unum." Never, Never" and many
other bold and stirring hymns, was
born in Kentucky though much of his
life was spent in Cincinnati. He was
a gallant soldier in the Mexican war,
an eloquent and learned barrister and
a most entertaining companion. For
charm of conception, choiceness of ex-
preston and vigorous language some
of his poems will rank with anything
in our language But he was victim
of intemperance.
His poems, "Never, Never" and "E
Pluribus Unum" we're set to musi
during our civil war, and sung every
where in the North with the most in
spring effect. Probably no song ever
thrilled a nation to a greater extent
than that of "E Pluribus Unum." |
remember once during the war hearing
it sung in Cincinnati by choir of 200
voices at patriotic meeting of some
ten thousand persons in a grove, and
can never forget the grand effect on
the audience, as each singer, with a
flag raised in his hand, sang with thrill
ing effect the last verse:
Then up with our flag Let it stream In the air
Though our fathers are cold in their graves
They had hands that could strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And they ere not born to be slaves
Up! upl with that banner, whete'e it may call
Our millions shall rally around;
Ana r nation of freemen that moment shall fall
When its stars shall be trniled ON the ground.
A few nights afterward I was sent
for to see person in the station-house
in my city. l went, and found there
the author of "E Pluribus Unum," pale
and trembling from the effects of a
terrible debauch, covered with filth
and his clothes almost torn off him.
spoke kindly to him, told him how that
vast audience, but a day or two ago
had been inspired to patriotic duty by
his songs. He clasped his hands to his
eyes and exclaimed: Great God
what a wreck | have made of myself
bent over me and wept like child
promising by all that was sacred that
he would reform.
With the aid of some friends he was
taken out and cared for in a way his
pitiful condition deranded. New
clothes were obtained, a pleasant
boarding house found, and for few
weeks he was himself again, endeavor
ing to establish himself again in HI,
profession. But, alas the chain OF
appetite was too stlong-it shortly
dragged him down to his grave. -

TOOd and Poison.

What is food for one may be poison
for another. This is well exemplifed
in watching some Of the natural provi-
sions and characteristic peculiarities of
certain forms of insect life. Take, for
instance, the case of the spider and tie
bee. In my conservatory window one
of each was seen on a blossom, each
eagerly seeking for something. After
they mad worked diligently for a few
minutes, during which time they met
and passed often, the one seemingly
found abundant pasturage on the spot
vacated by the other AS they were
passing away, apparently filed, they
were caught, chloroformed, and chem
ically examined. AS expected, the bee
contained nothing but honey, pollen,
etc, the usual fruits of the workers
life the spider, on the other hand,
showed stomach perfectly empty, and
evidently was going in search of food
when leaving the blossom upon which
it and the honey-bee had appar-
emily been feeding. More intricate
examination being made, All alkaloid,
and one of the most energetic poisons
known, was found in a receptacle,
which Yves filled to repletion. Both
these insects-one in search of honey,
the other of poiscn-fed on the same
flower, found what they sought, and
turned away statistical peculiar trans
formation, and both substances OBJ
tanned by nearly the same process,
from the same petal, A moral should
adcrn this truth Like the two insects
are many persons. For instance, two
persons will look at another person to
whom both are strangers. One will
bee all that is good and enabling,
beautiful aud attractive; while the
other will see nothing but what is bad
and degrading. hideous and repulsive.
Both feed the imagination on one per-
son; each seeks his or her propensity,
finds what is wanted, and returns sat

For weeks he waite,i 10 hear ,ome news

For weeks he waited 70 hear some news,
but none came. Under the load OF
grief his mind almost gave way, and TO
this day the old man. whose mind is al
most a wreck, expects at the least noise
in the block to hear that his son has
been found
If there is a sound of hurrying feet
on the pavement outside he will get up
to see if there is not a messenger boy
coming with news from his son. All
through the night he awakes at the
slightest noise, and his first Inquiry Is
whether the news OF his sons rescue
has come.
This has continued for two years.
The facts in the case were told by a
policeman. who few evenings age
saw two men standing in front of the
house at a late hour and requested
them not to talk in loud voice, lest
they arouse the old man and start him
to the door for the news which he has
awaited so long.

A Good Word for the Mlkweed.

A Good Word for the Milkweed.
The poorly growing and much des-
pissed mikweed will soon lift up its
dropping head and take front place
among che profitable plants of the
world. Its seed yields an abundance of
oil, which analysis shows to be finer
than lnseed oil. A gum can be pro-
duced from the plant juices that
rivals India rubber in strength and
elasticity; its floss when spun is finer
than the finest Irish poplin. which it
closely resembles, and its stalk, leaves,
and bark, manufactured into pulp by
means OF sulphur and boiling IN aka
lies, yields fine parchment-like pa
per. Chemistry is rapidly showing the
reasonableness and efficacy of the
claim of the patriarchs that nothing
has been made in vain"
To Ascertain the Speed of a Train.
Everyone who has ridden on the
cars has wondered often how fast the
train was running, and often an entire
coach-load Of passengers will manifest
great interest in the rate of speed
the train is making. There are three
ways of getting at this with tolerable
accuracy The first is to watch for the
passage of the train by the large white
mile-posts with black figures on them,
then divide three thousand six hun
dred by the time in seconds between
posts. The results the speed in miles
per hour. Again, when by reason of
~
above is impossible, listen atten-
lively until the ear distinguishes
distinctly the click, click, click of the
car wheel as it passes over the rail
joint The number Of clicks on one
side of the car in twenty seconds is the
speed in miles per hour, where the
rails are thirty feet in length, which is
generally the case. Finally, count the
number of telegraph poles passed in
two minutes, if there are four or five
wires to pole, and in two minutes and
twenty seconds if there are only two
lines per pole; the number of poles
passed is the number of miles per hour
the train is travelling.
Light without Matches.
To obtain light instantly without the
use of matches, and obviating the dan
ger of setting things on fire, take an
oblopg vial of the clearest glass, put
into it a piece of phosphorus the
size of pea, upon this pour some OF
the purest cotton-seed oil, heated tc
100 deg. centigrade, filling the vial
about one-third full, then cork tightly
To use it, remove the cork and allow a
little air to enter the vial, then recork
it. The whole empty space in the
bottle will then become luminous, and
if the bottle is clear and the solution
made properly, the light obtained
will nearly if not quite equal that Of
an ordinary lamp. AS soon as the
light grows dim, its brilliancv can be
at one restored by reopening the bottle
and allowing fresh supply of air tc
enter. In cold weather it may be nee.
essary sometimes to warm the bottle
by holding it between the hands to in
creast the fuidity of the oil. Thus
prepared, the bottle is good for six
months. The same contrivanceis used
by the watchmen of Paris in all maya
zines whfre explosive or infammablt
materials are stored.

A PECULIAR DEATH.


Man Found Hanging BY His Shirt,
Dead.
Special 10 the TELEGRsM HERALD:
EAST PARIS. Nov. A shocking fa-
talIty was discovered near here this
morning. Herman Kline Wlnkle, a
bachelor about 40 years of age, living
alone one-half mile west of East Paris
depot, having not been seen alive since
Saturday night, and no light being
seen or no smoke issuing from his
house since Sunday morning, the peigh-
bors thought best TO investigate the
matter; accordingly party of them,
one of them being his brother-in-law,
went TO his house and found the house
fastened on the inside with the key IN
the door. They then proceeded TO pry
a window open and got in and found
him hanged by the back OF his shirt
catching on the bed post, and having
on no other clothing except fur cap
on his head. He probably caught ac-
cidentally, as no cause was known for
his having done the deed purposely.
Deceased seemed to be in his usual
health and spirits on Saturday. Cor
oner Locher was summoned and after
the body was viewed by him It was re-
moved TO his sisters house about q
mile distant.
