A Defeat for tbs mnobip..

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The bill to redistrict the State OF Mass
achusetts for Congressional purposes has
at length become law by the signature
Of Gov Russell. This fact is chiefly In
teresting outside Of Massachusetts, be-.
cause 1t marks the defeat of the stata
and Of that guileless scholar In politics
Henry Cabot Lodge, they having combined
to postpone the task until mex. year
Ihers was no reason grounded In ms
tice, public policy, or usage, why the stare
shsuld not be redlstricted this wear
There were, however, some parsy rea sons
Just now the state is enjoying the nm
wonfed luxury of Democratic governor
The Senate is tie, being made up OF
twenty Democrats and twenty Repubu-
cans. The House has a Republican
majority OF forty. Thus, while the Re-
publicans have the best of the situation
they are not In position to do as thew
please grossly unfair redistrlctin0
bill, framed exclusively In the Interest AZ
Republicans, could not have become a
law. Under these circumstances tbe
Republicans decided at first TO make
virtue OF necessity, and to redlstriet Aha
state In manner not altogether outr,-
gecus and indefensible. A bill was framed
oy COMMITTEES appointed for the purpose
that both parties were willing to accept.
II was more favorable TO the Republicans
than to the Democrats, but II was not go
advantageous to the former as they
could have made it had they been In 4
position to dictate legislation. The
Democrats, however, were willing to ac
ceptit, fearing that the next year they
might not be 50 well situated as they are

fhlladelphia Times.
Soon after the present national admin
stration got fairly under way, Appraiser
Lesch Of this city decided to anticipate
the action Of Congress in tariff revision
aud he oiassed worHted goods with woolen
goods and about doubled the duty on
worsteds. True the tariff laws did not
warrant any such action. The tariff Of
1888 had classed worsteds rs that class Of
manufacturers wanted them classed AZ
that time; but the swift march OF inven
tlon knocked worsted goods out, and our
appraiser made new tariff on worsted
to suit himself or as he believed IL should
be. The importers Of worsted goods maid
the Increased tariff taxes under protest
put up the price Of their goods to consum
ers, and got their excessive taxes back
from. the people. The courts finally
knocked out the appraiser and reminded
MN that Congress and not appraisers
made tariff laws, and the importers pro.
ceeded TO get their excessive taxes back a
second time by restitution from, the gov
ernment. The people paid the piper.

a sure way Of Killssr ow Is.

Frost Bunker, Of the Dead river re-
gion, is guide who, it is said, is sue
cessful rival to James A. Smith, of Phil
Hps-a Raugely guide-in story telling.
Frost is intimately acquainted with
'"John Smith" who is we'll known in all
parts of the country. He says he was
with John on hunting trip once on a
time, when they came upon man who
had fired at an owl (perched in a big
tree) about dozen times without sue
cess. As they approached the stranger
offered John five dollar bill if he would
secure the owl John cooked his rife
and walked around the tree.
The owl turned his head in the same
direction as far as John walked. John
kept on going around the tree, the owl
turning his head all the while. Just as
John completed the tenth circuit the
owls head was twisted off and he fell to
the ground dead. John said small owls
couldn't be killed that way because their
feet would fly up in turning.-Phillips

Her ROYAL Sweetness,


j To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny of every woman born to
wear. a crown, but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families to
have the endearing title of Her Royal
Sweetness given to her, and that honor
belongs to Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
She has that marvellous art of making
goodness seem attractive; of making
the right act the pleasant one and of i'm
pressing upon all who know her the
knowledge that to do good is to have a
pleasant time, and not to do it is to miss
some of the pleasure of life. &
Many princesses have been written
about as having been beautiful, as hav-
ing caused great wars, as having done
great deeds of valor, of having made
m6n-die for them and kingdoms quarrel
over them, but of none of them can it
be said, as it is of this gracious lady,
that the whole world bows down before
sweetness and goodness, that peace has
been the watchword of her life; and
not only does she value peace, but those
loving sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity
abide with her.-Lady Elizabeth Hilary
in Ladies' Home Journal.

Salaries of Old English Actors.

Kean never spent more than two or
th-ce thousand pounds upoc revival,
and this was considered marvellous in
those days Messrs. Irving and Wilson
Barrett have more than doubled such
sums. Again, salaries were incompara-
bly, smaller. For some time John Ryder,
who played second to Kean, received
only three pounds ten shillings a week
until, discovering that another actor of
about equal position was in the receipt
of eight pounds, he threatened to break
his engagement unless his salary was at
once doubled, request which was COM
piled with. Now such an actor would
command from thirty to fifty pounds a
week. On the other hand, Kean raised
the ballet girls from d shilling night,
their old pay. out of which they had to
find shoes and stockings, to a guinea a
week, and found them everything.

Ea.StAr ERRR.

The egg is the sign of the resurrection,
which the Easter festival commentaries.
The Jews place it on the Passover table,
thereby indicating that their race is
to be resurrected. The Persians and
Druids both used it in their religious
ceremonies, and not only the Russian,
but the Mohammedan, on the early
Easter morning gives the greeting,
"Christ is risen, )" and the reply, Christ
is risen indeed" is followed by an ex-
change of eggs, and the egg is as we'll a
feature in all the old Eastern legends,
many of which are too improbable to
even bear the semblance of truth; others
might be true, inSsmuch as truth is
oftentimes stranger than fiction. Emma

Self Acting PaDer Cutter.

A Calcutta newspaper relates an incl
dent winch illustrates the magnificent
way in which the rajahs of India-or at
least those of them who remain opulent
and powerful-repay small debt. Not
long ago the Rajah Holkar, of Indore. in
paying visit to the viceroy, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, at Calcutta, was
shown by the marquis several of the
London Illustrated newspapers. In cut
ting the Ass7es of these journals, Lord
Lansdowne used an ivory paper cutter.
The rajaA had never seen a paper
cutter before and was much interested
in the little instrument.
eff your excellency will make me a
present of it, !" he said, II will send you
another in exchange"
The viceroy promptly gave his guest
the paper cutter, and the rajah returned
with it to his own dominions.
Lord Lansdowne had almost forgotten
the incident when he received notice
that the rajah's return gift was on the
way, and he was presently astonished to
have brought to him young and hand
some elephant, each of whose tusks had
been skinfully wrought into the shape of
a paper cutter.
A servant brought some illustrated
newspapers, at which the elephantseized
them with his trunk and proceeded very
skiHfully to cut the leaves with his
sharply trimmed tusks. He had been
trained to this accomplishment under
the rajah's orders.
The living paper cutter, it is under
stood, is still in Lord Transformers DOS
session, but it is not one of the ordinary
furnishings Of the viceroys library. For
his customary opening of books and
newspapers he keeps less bulky i'm

How Old Is Pinch?

On landing at one of the sugar fac
tories we found that there was fair go
ing on under an avenue of tamarisks
close by. The dealers sat under the
trees with their wares before them, fruit
and vegetables in one quarter, cotton
and calicoes in another, native wooden
stuffs, robes, rugs, cloth, ETC., in third !;
there was also a cattle fair, sheep, buff
faloes, camels and donkeys. There were
al fresco coffee stalls and booth, with
in which the sounds of very noisy music
could be heard, the drum predominating.
We entered, and were much amused on
finding that it was an Arab Punch and
Judy show, but Punch wore a turban
and Judy yashmak.
The former perpetrated a series of
enormities, and ended by tearing off
Judy's veil during a family squabble;
after this he became a perfect desperate,
and on the mamour {chief magistrate of
the district), got up in the official tar
boosh and blue frock coat, arriving; at
tended by retinue of cawasses armed
with sticks, he knocked that 1edoubtable
parsonage head over heels, amid the yo-
ciferous applause of the assembled falla-
heen. Punch pasha's popularity was
now at its height, and much sympathy
was felt for him when his career termi.
mated by his being hanged on the pole
of shadoof. 1t was really avery clever
and lively performance
turned to the inspector of the factory
who was with me, and said, II suppose
