A Great Mexican Uncle.

The great Mexican uncle is the
most numerous of his kind in the
world. Out of the 100000 in
habitants of the country fully 10,-
100000 patronize the pawn-shops,
and you can spout anything from a
silk handkerchief to a 500, 600 dia-
mond. You find these pawn-shops
in every village and city, and there
are more than sixty at the capital.
The biggest of these is, to certain
extent, under the Government.
This pawn-shop loans 81 900, 600 a
year, and it has about $1,000 debt
ors, SO that the average loan is about
81. The loans average 300 q day,
and about one-thirdof the articles
loaned are never redeemed.

Imprisonment Of Man in Alsaoe
for Queer Offense.

Americans have little conception
of what may constitute a treasona-
ble otfense in some of the countries
of the old world which are still de-
spotic and extremely military.
There recently occurred at Barr, in
Alsace, trial which must have been
very amusing to an American who
might have witnessed it, if a mans
liberty had not been in jeopardy.
One day, not long ago, in the
streets of Barr, laborer who was
engaged in loading wagon whis-
tied cheerfully at his work. As he
was thus engaged, gendarme or
military policeman came within
hearing. The workman, apparently
preoccupied, kept on with his whis-
tling.
81 arrest you," said the gendarme,
coming up and putting his hand on
the workman's shoulder.
"What for?" asked the man, as
tonished.
For seditious whistling. You
have been whistling the 'Marseil-
laise."
The "Marseillaise' being the
French national air and revolu-'
tionary air besides, is forbidden in
German Alsace.
But the workman exclaimed, ooh,
no, you are mistaken 1t isn't the
'Marseillaise' at all that l am whis-
Ting, but the March of the Bruins
wick Hussars.' l used to belong
to the Brunswick Hussars and that
was our regimental tune"
The gendarme, who was a Ger
man and thought he knew one tune
from another, took the workman
under arrest, and in due time he
was brought into court, charged
with disloyalty in whistling sedi-
tious air in a public place.
Both the gendarme and the ac-
cused told their stories very conf
IDENTIFY, and as the workman was
reputed an honest and loyal man
the Court was very much perplexed
between the two men and the two
cases.
In this predicament the court ad-
iiourned to the council-room adjoin-
ing, and calling in the accused and
the accuser in turn, made the work.
man whistle the March of the
Brunswick Hussars,' and the gen.
darme the "Marseillaise."
Each did his best, but the tunes
proved, in the ear of the Court, to
be so much alike thatit was regarded
as improbable that the gendarme
could have been mistaken.
The accused was therefore sent
to prison, but his general bearing,
and above all his excellent whistling,
had affected the Court so favorably
that he was sentenced to only three
days imprisonment.-Youth's Com
panion.

is just opposite the great cathedral
and within a stones throw OF the
national palace. have visited it
a number of times during the past
two weeks, and l attended one of
its auctions this morning. 1t looks
more like great junk-shop or auc-
tion-room than like the big banking
house it is. Furniture of all kinds,
from pianos to cheap chromos,
bicycles and mirrors, saddles and
harness, shawls and clothing were
mixed up in a Heterogeneous mass,
and men and women were examin-
ing them and looking at the tickets
which contained the prices fixed by
the appraisers attached to them.
AS one found what he wanted he
would point it out to the auction
eers and they would put it up and
show it to the rest. If any higher
bid was gotten the auctioneer went
on until it was sold, but as rule
it was knocked down to the first
applicant. In another part of the
room were great store cases con-
tanning hundreds Of gold watches,
thousands of dollars worth of dia-
monds and pearls and articles of
jewelry set with precious stones of
every description. The appraisers
valuation was attached to each of
these articles, and they were auc-
toned off to the highest bidders. l
noted that the clerks of the estab-
lishment always told whether the
stones were true or false. The sales
were fair and in most cases the
goods were very cheap. For a long
time this pawn-shop gave all its
profits to the church. Then for a
time they went to the Government,
and now the institution is run to a
certain extent by private corpora

The whirligig Of time finds to-day
no better illustration than the fact
that Willis Menard is a clerk in the
Census Bureau at $720 year. And
the further fact that many will ask
"Who, pray, is Willis Menard?" is
further evidence. Willis Menard
was the first colored man who ever
sat in the House of Representatives
as Congressman. He will go down
in history as the first negro Con-
gresham. He made but little mark
in Congress, and when he left the
House he dropped entirely out of
sight. To-day he bends over desk
at the Census Bureau, working as
hard for SIS week as ever he did
under the Speakers eye in the
House. Very few people know who
he is, but all his associates respect
him. A courteous, cultured man,
faultless in dress and dignifed in
bearing, he is the striking exception
to many colored people whom CIR
cumstances have brought into office,
and who, from their overbearlng
arrogance, are deservedly disliked
by their white associates. He rarely
speaks of himself or his past; ne
seeks no friends; his entire aim
seems to be to do his duty and
nloase his snneriors. Willis Menard
ex-Congressman and Census Clerk
is a striking instance of the kaleid-
loscopic mutability Of American
Epolitics.-Baltimore American.

Mining With q Balloon.

To descend hundreds of feet into
the earth in search of the hidden
treasures of mineral wealth sup
posed to be concealed there is no
uncommon thing, in fact is the nat
ural way of mining. S. c. Rees,
however, promises to revolutionize
the old-fashioned way of mining,
and has under consideration now a
prospecting tour by means of a bal
loon. His scheme, as outlined to a
Journal Miner man, is substantially
as follows: Rich carbonates have
been found in Cataract canyon in o
blanket ledge. While the ledge is
accessible at the upper end OF the
canyon, owing to the steep descent
of the canyon towards the Colorado
river when near the latter point the
ledge is located about 1900 feet
above the bottom of the stream, and
is consequently inaccessible by all
ordinary means. The question of
reaching it by means of ropes from
the top Of the almost perpendicular
walls of the canyon have been dis
cussed and pronounced impractical
BILE. Mr.. Rees has accordingly
arranged with Eronaut Howard
to visit the canyon in October. A
large balloon will be inflated in the
bottom of the canyon and secured
by ropes there to prevent its escape,
when it is proposed to initiate it
and make the ascent to the point
in the walls of the canyon where
the ledge is and a foothold worked
into it from the balloon.
After the work is fairly COM
menced the balloon will be needed
only as means Of conveying them
to and from their work. The ex-
pertinent is new and novel one,
and while to the ordinary mind
looks impracticable, Messrs. Rees
& Howard think it practicable and
expect to make their fortune there.
They propose and will have it di-
vided into seven or eight compart-
ments, any one of which when
inflated being capable of carrying
a mans weight. This will be done
as precaution in case of accident,
as having the airship strike against
the rocky walls of the canyon the
rieing power of the balloon will not
be totally destroyed. - Prescott

The Males Failing Behind.

Statistics show that the male pop
ulation of the civilized world is
falling farther and farther behind
the female. According to the last
British census the excess of women
and girls over men and boys in
Great Britain is about nine hundred
thousand, an increase in ten years
of nearly two hundred thousand.
The German census of last Decem-
ber places the number Of females
about six hundred thousand above
that Of the males in the Kingdom
Of Prussia, or nearly three times
the excess of twenty years ago.
There are 100000 more females
than males in the German Empire.
In Sweden end Norway the weaker
sex" are in the majority by 25O,O00,
in Austria Hungary by 100000, in
Denmark by 10000, and in all Eu-
ropean countries they outnumber
the males. In the United States,
Canada and Australia the males
are in the majority, though not
largely so, the estimated excess Of
males in this country being only
/ 100000 or 100000. It is plain
that but for immigration, which
furnishes a much greater number
of men than women, the latter
would soon be in the majority here.
There is a large preponderance now
of females in New England and
some other sections Of the United
States, and if immigration were to
materially decrease undoubtedly
the surplus of males would soon
disappear in the whole country. In
less civilized countries, where wo-
men are lightly esteemed, it is 9TH
erwise, India having about six
million more men than women,
while the males largely predomi-
nate in China. The obvious deduc-
tion is that the higher civilization
is most favorable to the increase OF
the female sex, and this suggests
the interesting question whether
civilization is doing the best thing
for the world in producing this re-
suit. A fact of hardly less interest
brought out by the British census
is the marked decline in the mar
riage rate, which has been almost
steadily tending downward for near
ly two decades. Meantime there
has been an even more decided de-
cline in the birth rate, so that not
only is marriage decreasing, but
marriages are becoming less prolific
on the average. There is the same
tendency in this country, prevailing
chiefly among the better classes.
An excess of females in country
is certain to have an unfavorable
influence on the marriage rate, and
the moral consequences Of such a
state of affairs can easily be con.
ceived.-Omaha Bee.

QUEEN v1CToRIA.s INFLUENCE.
Indications That She Favors Irish Home
Rule.

LONDON, June 21.-The position of the
queen in English politics is usually sup
posed to be generally passive. In foreign
politics she has been known to be greatly
interested, but with internal English poll
tics she has hitherto been credited with in
terfering little. At the opportune moment
when the Conservative scheme of local
self-government for Ireland is about to be
contrasted with Gladstone's home rule
proposals, her majesty has permitted the
publication of confidential communica-
ton which she has sent to the Archbishop
of Canterbury on the eve of another
crisis in Irish political history, the
introduction of bills for the disestablish-
ment of the church in Ireland, and the in
ference is that her majesty desires to make
Archbishop Tait's memoirs the medium OF
divulging what her attitude then was with
a view to the application of the informa-
ton to present events. Her majesty did
not approve of the edisestablishmeut policy,
but she accepted the decision of the coun-
try. and the commons used her influence
to induce the lords on one hand to
accept the bill, and Gladstone to
make conciliatory methods with the
lords The archbishop of Canterbury was
her mediator and go-between when the
bill went.into the lords, and the general ex-
pectation was they would reject 1t and
another of those constitutional crises
would arise which threaten the existence
of the upper house. As now constituted,
undoubtedly if the peers had rejected the
disestablishment bill, Gladstone would
have been backed by the enraged country
and the always impending agitation to dis
establish the peers as legislative body
would have received dangerous momen-
tum.
The queen wrote to the archbishop:
Considering circumstances under when the
measure has come 10 the house OF lords, the
queen eanno, regard without the greatest
alarm. the probable effect of Its absolute reiec-
ton in that house, carried as il has been, by an
overwhelming and steady majority through the
commons, chosen expressly TO speak the opinion
OF the country on the question. There seems no
reason to believe that any fresh appeal to the
people would lead TO different results The re-
lection OF the bil therefore, would only serve to
bring the two houses into collision, and so pro-
long dangerous agitation OF the subject
These words, pregnant with application
in the near future. are being quoted
throughout the Liberal press as proof IN
anticipation that the queen, accepting the
verdict of the country on home rule, will
use all her power and personal influence
to prevent the lords from opposing 1t.
