TO THE PUBLIC,

AS was announced in this week 5
issue Of the indicator we have sold
that paper to Mr.. Shaw OF Crandon
and purchased Dewar & Mclntyre's
interest in the REVIEW. In OUR sale
of the indicator we reserved the
subscription list and all advertising
contracts and all subscribers OF the
Vindicator will be FURNISHED with the
REVIEW and all advertising contracts
made with that paper will befuifilled
with this. In addition we have pu1-
chased the subscription list and all
advertising contracts, including all
accounts of the REVIEW and will
carry them out as per contract. Inc
REVIEW will be run in the interests OF
Eagle River and Oneida county and
will be more of local paper than po-
litical. Still we claim the right to
our political opinions aud in all ma
tional and state matters will be
found supporting the republican
ticket. In county matters we reserve
the right to support the men who,
in ouropinion, are the best qualified
to fill the positions and who will fill
them to the best interests OF the peoT
pie and we will be bound by no po-
litical party or set. Our first inter
est is Eagle River and then Oneida
county and we will always be found
supporting what we believe to be foI
the. best interests of Eagle River.

New Variety of Cotton.

A new variety or cotton plant, produc- ing much larger proportion of cotton to seed than any other known kind, and having the additional advantage of be- ing earlier and less susceptible to at mospheric influences, sounds like good news for the Lancashire mills. The newcomer is known as the natalie It was discovered few seasons ago at Benha, in Egypt though it has only lately been planted on any thing like a large scale. Natalie is admitted to have its faults. It is shorter in the staple and not quite so good in quality as the ashmouni plant; but, for all that, 1t appears to be driving the ashmouni- plant out of the field. Vics-Consul AL ban reports that last years experience was so encouraging that in some provinces of Lower Egypt 1t has this year been almost exclusively sown.- London Daily News.

sHAkEsPEARE's GHosTs.

There Ia No DOu hat tlI~ Es~ l'O-
 llived In Thrir Existence.
 We can not doubt that Shalic;, carn, like his contemporaries, buli"rr! n ghosts, while WIG do not. UJ%, 'hrn, can VIC say that he is true to nature, when he makes Hamlet or Rrutus OF Macbeth see ghosts, talk with Ihenl, and thereby in all respects believe n them? Skeptical arguments aga n5t the reality of ghosts were not unknown to Shakespeare's contemporaries He must have read them himself in Plutarch's "Brutus, but we can not suppose that those arguments had more effect on h m than on Brutus himself And we can not escape from the difficulty of saying that the superstition being natural to the poet and to the men of his time, it was natural that he should make the personages of his play subject to it. For the ground work of all our study of Shakespeare assumes that he was not merely of an age, but for all time.
 What we do say is that the men ct Shakespeare's age believed in ghosts because they had seen them. and we for the same reason disbelieve in them. We have, like Coleridge, seen too many. Plenty of ghosts have been and still are seen, but the sight has been verified by investigators with habits of mind de- rived from the practice of the Baconian method of examining facts. Ghos ts have been verified, and like many other phenomena once so mysterious as to be supposed to be of supernatural or preternatural origin, they have been found to have their place under known laws of nature. They have been ascertained to be, in metaphysical phrase, subjectively but not objectively real. They come not under the laws of the bodily eyes and of optics, but under those of the imagination; and it is imagination which can and does give the brain most of the impressions of bodily sight and sound when a ghost is seen. We say most Of these, because among the dis functions between the real and . sham that is, a pretended, dressed-up-ghost is this, that the real ghost does not strike such a terror as does the sham, nor does it tell his hearers what he did not know before. It is true that in many well-authenticated ghost stories of our own time even, there Is an ele- ment of unex plained coincidence, which l still seems to give them a supernatural appearance; but these, too. the friends of "Psychical Research" believe that they shall one day bring under ordinary natural law.-Quarterly Review.

LrNcoLNs SCHOOL DAYS.
How Little Abe Acquired Knowledge
 of Reading and Writing.

How Little Abe Acquired Knowledge
 of Reading and Writing.
 Little Abe was first sent to school when he was about seven years of age. His father had never received any "book learnin'," as education was termed among such people, and 1t was with diff ficulty that he could write his own name. One day, about four weeks after Abe had been sent to school, his father asked the teacher: 'How's Abe getting along?" The teacher replied that he was doing well; he wouldn't ask to have better boy. He had only one lesson book, an old spelling-boo During the school hours he was attentive to his task, and at night he would study over the lesson he had been engaged upon during the day; the highest ambition of his life at this time was to learn to read. He believed if he could only read as we'll as his mother, who read the Bible aloud to the family every day, the whole world of knowledge would be opened to him, and in this conjecture he was about right As the old Baptist minister told him one day: When you can read, you've got something that mo- body can get away from you"
 In tho Kentucky home there were but three books in the family-the Bi- ble, a catec hism and the spelling-boolS which Abe Lincoln studied. He had not been long in Indiana before he had read the "Pilgrim's Progress" his father borrowing 1t from friend who lived twenty miles away. He was very fond of reading "Esop's Fables" a copy of which came in his way. A young man taught him to write As writing-paper of any kind was very scarce and expensive, Abe used to prac- tice his writing exercises with bits of chalk or a burnt stick on slabs and trunks of trees. Sometimes ne would trace out his name with a sharp stick onv the bare ground. When, finally, he was able to write letters, he was called | to do the correspondence of many of his neighbors, for very few grown persons in that region could write even sim | pie letter.
 AS Abe Liucoln grew older he became a great reader and read all the books he could borrow. Once he borrowed of his school-teacher a Life of Washington. His mother happened to put it on a cer- tain shelf and, the rain coming through the roof, the book was badly damaged. Abe took it back to the school-master and arranged to purchase it of him, pay ing for it by three days hard work in the corn-feld; and he was entirely sat- isfied with the bargain at that. At the age of eighteen his library consisted of tho Life of Franklin, Plutarch's Lives, the Bible, the spelling-book, Esop's Fables, Pilgrims Progress, and the lives of Washington and Henry Clay. A boy might have much larger private library than this, but he could scarcely find an equal number of books better calculated to impart wholesome lessons as to correct living and right thinking.

HORSES FoR THE ARMY.

 sasat Service.
 "Where does the United States buy the horses for its army and other prr- poses?"
 The question was asked at Bulls Head yesterday, and John Raymond, one of the best-known horse dealers in this section of the country, was unable co answer it; yet at the very moment there was a young Lieutenant of the United States cavalry on the street, within twenty feet of Mir. Raymond, purchasing horses for the Government.
 "I will tell you all about it. said the young officer. "The United States has in Government stables throughou the country at the present time between ten and twelve thousand horses. That is the number required for the cavalry, the ordnance department and other branches of the army. They are carefullv-selected animals, we'll cared for and well groomed, and the mortality among them is annually not more than five per centum. This small percentage is remarkable when it is considered that in some of the far Vest ern Territories the work required from the horses is very exacting indeed. In AFlZOHt, lOT tAduDAcs hlOIS OA IuO NSN- ornment horses die in proportion to their number than in any other section of the country, and it is a curious fact that many of the horses thcre grow blind, and thus become useless long Le- fore they die. That is one of the effects of the alkali plain on the animals B"- sides the five per oentum which d @ about ten per centum of the remain CT ,,,k because of their having become useless for the services for which they arc re- ouired. This makes it necessary for the authorities to purchase annually ahont 2, 900 horses, and Congress provides for this expenditure by appropriaung about S2O0, 900 for the purpose "t pay ng for the horses purchased. Tho amount is divided among the va riouS military departments by the Secretary of War. and as the Weste :n divisions of the army need mere horses than we do hore on the Atlantic coast, the bulk of th0-muney goes out Vest and most of the horses for Inc G"vcrn- ment are purchased in SI Luui,, St Paul and San Francisco.
 Not every horse will do for Govern ment service" continued th" Liruten- ant "for the Wa Department makes specific rules to govern the purchase of the animal They are required to be geldings, solid color throughout, from 15 to r hands high. between 1 and S years of age, ani must woigh, ro: artil- lery horses, hetwccn 1000 and I 800 pounds, and for cavalry horses between 900 and l,@o0 pounls. A Govcrnmcn It horse usually lasts about seven years, and at the end of that time is sold tt auction. if he lasts that lonE."
 Do the horse dealers know that you are purchasing animals for the G nvcrn- ment?"
 "Indecd they do not," sail tho L.; Il. tenant smilingly. "It they did t.ey would run the price up on me far be- yond what they do now, when fam l,uy- ing apparently as a private inl>v,IuAl." |" N Y Stnr

QuoDDY BAY HERRING.
Known to the General Public as Eastpors
 tMe.) SardInes.

Known to the General Public as Eastpors tMe.) SardInes.
 All over and around Quoddy bay and the inlets and rivers tributary are hun dreds of weirs whore are captured the young herring which the Eastport fac tories cure and pack into boxes for sar- dimes. These weirs are really traps of a rude sort where these midgets are i'm prisoned at high tide and released Unto boats) at low tide. Seen from steam boat they appear mere bits of the bay a few acres in . place fenced in with bean poles that rise considerably out of the water when the tide is out The fence is built around three sides of this inclosure, the upright stakes being horizontally wattled with willows and other light saplings and then filled in with brush so closely as to furnish an obstruction to the herring infants which thoughtlessly drift into the open gates with the falling tidS. Then, at the right time, boats go in armed with seines, and take captive the bewildered sinners. A boat load will sometimes sell for SEQ or $50.
 The Eight-Hour law is not enforced in Passport because a sardine factory is
 
 or night and must keep going as long as there is any thing to do, lest the tender catch shonld spoil. They are apt to work more by night than by day, be- cause the piscatorial small fry can be best taken at the daylight high tide. When the catch is washed and dressed. baked, oiled and boxed, then the hands go to bed and catch their forty winks | more or less, before they are summoned again to the loud smelling factory. When the boat comes back from it's little cruise the skipper signals to the l lookout at the factory the measure of his ccess and the hands are called from all parts of the town. To this end bells are rung, and each factory has 8 | different code, so that its employees know who is calling and what is expect 1 ed of them.
 This dwarf herring is first cousin to the clupe which forms the sardine ot France. It is not quite so hard and the cotton-seed oil in which it is | embalmed is not quite so savory as is the olive oil in which it's aristocratic l cousin of Concarneau lies entombed. | But he is as numerous and he is easier | caught. When the French skipper of Concarneau desires to get boatload of clupes he must first purchase a most seductive bait-the roe of cod-which costs about SEQ barrel. This expen- sive luxury he must spread upon his net before he dips it in the sea and scatter it upon the waves afterward to entioe the wary and insignificant f1shling. But the Eastport skipper uses no bait and no auxiliary save the mighty tide, which leads the diminutive wanderer within the sound and leaves him help less there. The whole of the French | coast according to Henry Haynie, pro- duces annually about 60, 900. 900 boxes of sardines, and Eastport Me-, produces about third as many.-Washington ton 1 Star.

AVENGED AT LAST; Or, a Worldwide Chase.
A STORY OF RETRIBUTION.

rctribution grird--so surely --S" surely SO surcly-aye, and so quickly, so much more quickly sometimes than even those who manipulate the machinery of the mills can foresee. Almost Velasquez had paid tc tho uttermost the penalty of his crime committed long years be- fore in the sunny Californian valley almost!
 The ship might go down at any mo- ment now. and unless his would-be res- cuers at once retraced their steps they might go down with it, so with regrets the Captain led the way to the deck. Sorrowfully he took his place in tho lifc-boat, and, as the sailors pulled away, he looked longinEly at the old shin that had carried him through so many thousands of miles of fair and stormy weather. Before they reached the waiting steamer the "Dunrobin Castle" settled on her beam ends and sank in old ocean with a mighty rush, taking with her, to higher tribunal than that of man, Leon Valasquez. It was a tragic death. In some sense it was too grand a death so moan a man-to exchange the ignominy of the gallows and the felon's grave in prison yard for burial beneath the rolling waves of the Atlantic, cofiined in a noble ship. And yet it was a horrible 1 end-a lonesome, solemn end, for the man who had lived in tumult and ex- citement all his days to meet the Grim Monster and Great Avcnger alone with his torturing memories of the past-to know, while the merciless flood closed 1 over him. that he died unmourned and unregrcttcd.
 | Perhaps it was poor satisfaction to the widow of Mario Delaro to know that her husbands murderer, the destroyer of her happiness, was never convicted of his crime-but when Leon Velasquez, one of the meanest villains who ever trod this earth, wont into the unseen world to meet his Maker, it surely was a powerful illustration of that infallible truth.
 Though the mills of God grind slowly. Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience stands He waiting,
 With exactness grtnds He all"
 Not long ago a small wedding party passed down the carpeted steps of a church in New York City The princi- pals of that party were handsome, sunburncd man of forty years and a lovely woman many years younger. They seemed very happy they ,oere very happy. They were Percy Lovel and his
 wifo-whom we have known so long as Armida Delaro.
 On the same day there left, from one of the poorer French lodging-houses near Leicester Square, London, a funer- al hearse and one mournerS carriage.
 In that hearse lay the body of Emile l Rrprv and in the Carriape was n man who looked the picture of misery-his namc was Eugene Bregy-a living ex-
 ample of "what might have been."

Corn uusk Cloth and Paper.

It is stated that one of the best util- ixed waste products in Australia is that of corn husks for the production of cloth and paper. The husl1s are boiled with an alkali in tubular boilers, &e glutin- ous matter being pressed out from the fiber by hydraulic apparatus, leaving the hbers in the shape of Q mass or chain of longitudinal threads, inter spersed with a dense mass of short Abers- The fiber is easily worked, either alone or in combination with rags, into the finest writing or printing papers, and 1t also very readily takes any tint or color. If the gluten is left in the pulp. in the proeess of manufAot- ure. the paper can bs made extremely transparenk-F&rm, Field and Stock man.
