These are days Of summer politics and it
would be hardly fair 10 ask the crculators Of

Cured IN political circles is an important con-
ference between the Democratic leaders at
the Hotel Normandie regarding Governor

An invalid dragged herself to window
one winter day and, signing, fixed her alb

neighboring wall. The sky was gray, the
wind clustering, few snow flakes were
falling. Presently the twitter of sparrows
enlisted her sympathy. How bravely were
they struggling to rebuild their tattered
nests Again and again they had been de
stroyed, aud yet, despite cold and disap-
pointment, they chirped at their hard fate

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27,-The for

quired to file statements with the
county auditor and pay into the fund

letter says:

Chinese Medicines.

Scorpions, according to the Chinese way
of thinking, are invaluable when employed
as remedy for badly congested liver,
which ailment can only be surmised by the
Chinese druggist to be the one which
afflicts his sore and wearied customer.
Powdered bees and beetles are highly re-
garded by the Chinese physician in the
treatment Of throat troubles, and if they
do not instantly effect a cure on being
taken the patient deserves to suffer.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Frederick FisheI Kept in Jail for
Six Years While Awaiting Trial.

Frederick FisheI Kept in Jail for
SIX Years While Awaiting Trial.
New YORK, July 27.-Frederick
Fischel has been q prisoner in Lud-
low street Jail on civil proceedings
since August, 1885, while two indict-
ments charging forgery have been
pending since Nov. II of the same
year. He pleaded guilty to the in
dictments before Recorder Smyth to-
day. Fishel for three years prior to
August 10Th, 1885, was bookkeeper
in the emdloy of August Bernheim
& Bauer, wholesale clothiers.
He stole several checks given
to him to mail and by forging the
Endorsements got them cashed.
When his forgeries were discovered
and he was arrested, Fishel sent for
his employers and made clean
breast OF his transgressions. Pending
the trial of the criminal suits he was
detained in custody on orders OF
arrest in civil proceedings. Recorder
Smyth said that since he had read
Dickens Little Derritt" he had
never heard of man being detained
nearly six years actually q prisoner
for debt, but he admitted that the
proceedings were perfectly legal and
that the thing might occur at any
time under the law.

One Way to Get Rid of a Cousin.

"N-no, not exactly You see, we're tired
of housekeeping and art going to boarding.
We shall store our furniture. Joe thinks
it's the only way out. Well try it again
after awhile, you know"
What's the matter? Pm sure you were

be able to get her when we go back to
housekeeping again. 1t is so hard to get
good servants, and she is such treasure.
We were so happy"
well, what on earth, child"-
1.-The fact is, Joe's cousin came on here
some time ago and won't go away, plague
on him! He just stays and stays and staysl
And he's brought the child for me to take
care of. And he's spent all his money and
thinks he'll stay here and maybe look for
job. But he'll never work-not if he can
help it, He is such a polite and refined
sort of a man, too, neither of us can tell
him to 90. We don't believe he would go
if we'd tell him, see? So Joe and have
agreed that the best way is to throw up
the fiat. When the fellow goes away or
falls in the river, or something, We'll fix
up again. Now, isn't that real cunning?"-

A whale Caurht Mapping.

ooh, yes; ! know this is the season fol
| fish stories, but what / am telling you is a
fact, vouched for by all hands," indignant
~ remarked Ship Chandler John Reece, in
reply to some incredulous smiles upon the
part of his auditors. Mr. ReeCe, as is his
! custom of an afternoon when the cares OF
business permit, had been RECALLING the
habitues of his captains rooms with some
of his raCy sea stories, and the talk had
turned on whaling
Talking of whales" he suddenly ex-
claimed, when my friend, Captain Pearn,
now commanding the steamship Circas-
sian Prince, had charge of the Ocean Spray,
he met with an extraordinary adventure.
The vessel in question was on her way to
Lisbon, and while crossing the Bay of Bis
cay one night she brought up with most
tremendous shock. Captain Pearn was
below at the time but rushed on deck fully
believing that the Ocean Spray was foul of
another vessel.
The lookout came flying aft with hair
standing on end and covered with blood
As nothing could be made of the ncoherent
explanations of the dumfounded sailor, a
movement was made for'ad and the mys-
terry was solved. A huge whale was
athwart the cutwater, partly severed in
two, the dolphin striker, or to use mod
srn term, martingale, sticking into his
back. The cetacean was fully seventy feet
long, and had evidently gone into his death
furry. While they were gazing at the
monster the plunging of the vessel in the
waves-it was blowing a nine knot breeze
released the carcass and f1oated it off to
leeward. In the morning, when the watch
was called on to wash decks, it was seen
that the forecastle, foot of foretopmast
staysail and inner jib were sprayed with
blood.
The lookout man said that the blood
spurted up like a fountain, and as be was
standing just by the weather cathead he
got the full benefit of it, When the Ocean
Spray was locked it was discovered that
seven or eight sheets of copper bad been
torn off the stem. The whale was proba-
bly, asleep at the Observation-Disclosures In
quirer.
