SETTING HISTORY RIGHT.
Frank Hstton Says Blaine Is Not the
Author of Reciprocity.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-"History should cor
rectly give the credit of reciprocity to
President Arthur" said Frank Hatton at
the Grand Pacific. arthur sent J. w.
Foster to Spain on the same mission upon
which he was sent by Blaine. More than
that, on the first occasion he negotiated
similar treaty of reciprocity, which Pres
fdent Arthur laid before the senate 1t
was afterward Withdrawn by Cleve-
land, who found it still on the senate
table. it having been overlooked in the ex-
element of presidential campaign. The
same fate met a reciprocal treaty made
with Mexico by Generals Grant and Pres
colt, who were sent south upon the
errand by Arthur. To the latter certainly
belongs whatever credit may attach to the
origin of the reciprocity idea"

A Model Letter Box.

All who have suffered the annoyance
of having their morning papers stolen
from the front doorsteps will welcome
the relief which is assured by new
form Of letter box. This box is attached
to the inside of the outer or street door
of the store OF dwelling. 1t is accessible
from without at all hours, access to it
being gained by means of swinging
door or gate, which may be made as or
namental as desired, and if necessary
may have the owners name engraved
upon it and serve as doorplate. The
width of this combination doorplate
and letter slot is sufficient to admit, be-
sides letters, papers and small packages
of merchandise.
The packages, by an ingenious arrange
ment, fall behind and below the box into
a receptacle placed there for their ac-
commodation, and the letters fall direct
ly into the box, which a clever device
guards so completely that the improper
abstraction of its contents is impossible.
This object is obtained by swinging
gate, which, while easily pressed in by
the weight of the letters in the carriers
hands, will close tightly as soon as the
handis withdrawn Pittsburg Dispatch.

How tho Parrot Was reformed.

The wickedness q canal parrot is ig

parrots feathers stand up with horror
And as swearing is-or used to be-the
chief part of q canal drivers language,
nobody could tell whether the parrot OF

went into the building and staid a long
time. This was the parrots opportunity.
The tired horses were left unattended;
so he proceeded to attend to them.
"Back!" he commanded, with much
swearing.
The horses promptly obeyed the ia

"Backl' he screamed again, much en-
couraged.
They obeyed again, and yet again. And
he kept on swearing and yelling ''BackI"
until at last the horses tumbled into the
canal and were drowned.
The parrot laughed little, but not
much, over the success of his efforts.
And it was noticed that he never swore
after that melancholy affair.
The reason was that the driver wrung

could give Kentucky mule lessons in

if you were to ask that farmer if he isn't

gun, the chances are ten to one that he
would say no, he was glad Of it. You
