but they had never seen any before
and declined to try them. They
discussed the potato, however, and
said they woulj like to see one. i
good, large yam WAS brought IN, and
one OF the gentlemen cautiously ex-
amined it and said: "Ncll, sup
pose that the potato is inside of this,
and you have to break it open, do you
not" A dime was given one Of the
ladies in change, and as she inspected
it she said: 'You call this 'one dim
N.Y. do you? How many pennies is
it worth ?" She spelled the word
dime with two syllables and French
accent on the last.
They were nice laaies-smart Ia
dies-and discoursed beautifully on
England, and government, and poll-
tics, and religion, but they found
many things and many customs over
here that they had not read about in
books. The gentleman cut enough
walking sticks in their travels to till a
buggy. One of them had himself
measured for saddle in England,
and had it made to fit, and brought it
across the water in box that was
made for it. 1t cost him 800 and
keeps on costing, for he has to pay
freight on it everywhere he goes. He
has never used it but once and soon
got tired and exchange for seat in a
surrey. He is an old foxhunter and
knows how to ride-in England.
And now I would like to pay them
back. I would like to visit their
country and see how they live. OF
course I wouldn't know exactly how
to conform TO their ways and customs,
but I would enjoy my own mistakes
and surprises. England is a century
ahead of US in many things. Her
people are more solid = solid in
thoughts and opinions, and especially
in religion and government; why, one
of these gentlemen who visited US
lives in house that was built before
Columbus discovered America. The
very antiquity of everything gives the
people confidence. They love their
government and their churcl. Our
newspapers write gushingly about
"crumbling thrones and tottering
dvnasties," but it only makes an
Enghshman smile. They still wonder
that our government has lasted so
long and stood the shock OF great
civil war. A government will last as
the people love it. The people will
love it as long as it is fairly and
humanely administered. A monarchy
is just as secure as republic if the
monarch is kind and loving to his
subjects. "When the wicked rule the
people shall mourn" but they won't
mourn long nowadays-they will
fight. BILL ARP.

SET FIRE TO HIS HOUSE.
A Columbia Merchant Accused Of Set
Ting Fire to His Own House 10 Ge1
the Fire Insurance.

lut TiiC 1NSuk ANCCs
Accused of a serious crime!
Thus rests Mr. Thomas Glaze in the
station house.
He is charged with applying the torch tc
his own residence on tuesday night.
The States account of the burning of the
cottage, as published yesterday, was based
on the statement of Mrs. Glaze, who, with
her little babies, was the only person in the
house.
The gentleman next door, however, tells
that he came home at 1890 o'clock and saw
Mr.. Glaze loading his household effects IN a
closed wagon and hauling them away at
that hour.
This story, coming from truthful man,
and from the fact that the house was
entirely wrapped in flames when even the
earliest corners arrived, aroused the sus-
picions of the police, and Detectives Ogg
and Morehead went to work. They found
that the wagon was one belonging to a rela-
tive of Mr.. Glaze, and the driver acknowl-
edged having assisted him to remove his
furniture during the night.
He said they had hauled the last load
when the alarm Of fire sounded.
1t was also found that the furniture was
insured in Swafield's agency.
Link by link the cham was formed, and
at 2.30 o'clock the detectives thought they
had secured evidence sufficient to warrant
them in arresting Mr.. Glaze. He was at
once taken to the station house and locked
up, pending further investigation.
Last night the detectives went to No. %
Geryais street, where Mr.. Glaze has been
running fruit stand, the place the driver
designated, and there found about $500 OF
$500 worth of furniture and household
effects, all bundled up just as they had
been placed there.
Mr. Glaze was told Of this discovery and
confessed having taken them away from
home in the manner stated. He stoutly
denied having applied the torch to his
house, however, and said that be intended
to turn over the keys to the agents the next
morning.
To The State representative the night
before he stated that he had not been home
! since o'clock on the morning before the
| fire, and knew nothing about it. Mrs
Glaze, it will be remembered, could no.
say positively how That lamp came tc
explode" The police Will query her thi.
morning.

THE SOMA
PLANT.

OHeT1nS W
gods was the fomented juice Of the
Soma or Moon plant, which, being a
strong drink, gave new excitement to
those who partook of it, and was
believed to impart power to the gods.
It was believed, moreover, that it
wrought miracles, and for this reason,
perhaps, it afterwards became the
chief god of the Hindus. In a vedic
hymn the worshiper says:
'We've quafted the Soma bright,
And are immortal grown;
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman veX US more?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God we soar
No such power as this is attributed
to any plant of the present time, and
yet many of the cures performed by
S. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy,
seem almost to border on the miracu-
lous. In contagious blood poison,
scrofula, skin diseases, some forms of
cancer, ETC., it is the remedy par
eCcellence.

All such do themselves q great injustice.
In this day and age it looks like criminal
negligence for any one to have the rheu-

that will cure any case Of rheumatism, re-
gardless Of the age of the patient or dura-
ton of the disease DR.. Plouf is the only
physician in America that has sure cure
for rheumatism. He has cured hundreds
Of persons in this city and thousands
throughout the state. No matter how in
tense the pain, how great the swelling, or
how stiff the joints may be, the remedy
performs its work like magic. It has .
pleasant taste and the dose il but one tea
spoonful at time. Many patients who
come to the doctors Office on crutches the
first time come without them the second
time. DIR. Plouf discovered this remedy
about one year ago, but its good work is
already known throughout the entire
United States, and its sales have already
reached an enormous figure. The medi-
cine sells for 81 a bottle, or six bottles for
