IF, as is now believed, the court shall decide that the Itata has not violated our neutrality laws, the Chilian insur- gents, whose agents and attorneys, now here, claim represent the only constitu- tional government of Chili, will demand
 that the United States pay a heavy cash
 indemnity for having interfered with their success by refusing to allow the
 Itata to deliver the arms which she car ried. There is some ugly talk
 about bribery by the agents of the Balmaceda government, and may be
 before the thing in finally settled some body's reputation will get badly smirch- ed. This incident has again strongly shown that MT Blaine is the brains of the administration. Everything that
 he has opposed has turned out disas- trously for his party. He was opposed to the outrageous usurpation of power ! by Speaker Reed, the force bill and the
 Mckinley bill, which by superhuman
 efforts he succeeded in having modified by tackIng on as an amendment the good old democratic doctrine of trade

THE fact that over one hundred pas sengers on the disabled Cunarder Servia have reclaimed their passage money, and have gwen up their European vaca- tions entirely, furnishes some idea of the superstition which haunts the average ocean traveller. Probably neither love nor money could induce all of them to try their luck again, for time at least.

us. 1t speaks Of over 500 evangelistic

brethren. 1t speaks of hundreds of
additions to the church, tho building of
new houses of worship, and tho organ
ganization of Sabbath schools.

A writer in the Boston Post tells a story
about horse, which leads to the wonder
ment as To how much these animals know.
The gentleman says he went to large
livery stable one afternoon just asa mum
ber of men who had left their horses there
for safe keeping were driving from the
yard. Among them was man with a
large gray horse who looked about him
with an air that seemed to say, know a
great deal about several things | know
more than you have an idea OF. He
had broke into little trot, and was evi-
denlly intent upon getting home as soon
as possible.
Suddenly man who had been watch
ing him called out Dan, don't you
want q piece OF cake p Instantly the
horse stopped, pricked up his ears, look
ed about him eagerly and uttered that
peculiar "whinny," which says as plainly
as words can, "Where is the man who
spoke just then -? He is an old friend of
mine"
No urging from his owner could get
the horse move an inch The one who
had made this disturbance came forward
laughing, and explained. He recognized
the horse as the one which he had owned
several years before.
The animals name at that time was
Dan, and though it had since been
changed, he remembered it instantly, and
also that he was very fond of cake, and
was III the habit of receiving piece
from the man whose voice he had heard
once more after the lapse ofy years. Did
Dan" prove that he had memory?

Dummy Clocks.

There are some clocks that tell time
and some that only tel. the right time
twice every day. They are the dummy
clocks which jewellers often have for signs
in front of their stores. Have you ever
seen them and, if so, have you noticed
that almost all of them point TO the same
time,-seventeen minutes after eight?
Perhaps, if you have thought of them at
all, you supposed, as I did, that they
were made to point to any hour that the
workman who made them might fancy /;
but that is not so. A gentleman standing
near one the other day, said, 4 never see
