A BAD Break.

A doctor, who was treating one of his
patients for a simple but tedious disorder,
found the man in such an irritable con
dition that he began to cheer him up.
But bis words fell on deaf ears, for the
man had been housed up so long that he
was firmly convinced that his time had
come.
Tut. tut" said the doctor. "T'll have
you round again in a few days if you'll
keep quiet and take the medicine. Why,
man, | suffer from the same complaint
as you myself"
There was look of compassion in the
patients eyes as he reached out the bot
tie and said:
I'm that case, doctor, do take some of
this medicine you prescribed for me-"
The man had grown almost hopeful
under the influence Of the doctors reas-
surfing words, but his hopes were cruelty
dashed the next moment as the medical
man drew back from the bottle with a
shudder e -G.i .sNo- Thanks

Long-Dista nee Photography.

Remarkable advances arc being made
in the art of photography. At the an
nual exhibition of tho Photographic so-
ciety of Great Britain q sensation was
produced by photograph of Mont
Blanc, taken at n distance Of dfty-six
miles Dailmeyer's tslephctogrsphic
lens was used, smallest stop, extension
Of camera sixty inches, with seven min
utes exposure, at 6:f5 p. ~, In windy
weather. The success Of the telescope
camera is unquestionable,a and opens up
many interesting possibilities Tie
securing of this view of Mont Blanc at
so great distance affords an opportn-
nifty of instructive comparison with
an ordinary lens at similar and closer
ranges. Another exhibit had some sri-
entific, though little or no artistic at
traction Even the unini;iated have
ceased to be astonished At the lightning

seven or eight hours exposure neces-
sary to procure a copy of landscape

FRANCES PERIL.

When anarchy gets such hold on a
country that it is an influence in the
affairs OF civil government it is time to
take alarm. This seems 20 be the pres
ent condition in France, where a weak
kneed ministry is still tottering from the
effects of recent conclusions of dvna-
mite. The French anarchists have been
bidding open defiance to law and order.
At Carmaux mass meeting has been
held favoring the policy of polite and
economic appropriation of the moneved
middle class by means of q social rerolu-
ton of the proletariat of the whole
world. Another amiable sentiment ex-
pressed was in appreciation Of the use Of
that agreeable explosive, dynamite.
The Loubet ministry has taken hold
on this thicket of neitles with the light
est of touches. Now it is beseeching
power to suppress the violent anarchist
papers, and the indignant public looks
upon this as only another evidence of
governmental weakness. The present
outlook, therefore, is tina. the ministry
will 60 down soon, giving way to cab
met. The revulSion of sentiment in
favor of drastic method of dealing
with the anarchists is wholesome. II
will doubtless pull the country out of a
grave crisis,
Bat it cannot be gratifylrS for
Frenchmen TO reflect that anarci
indirectly exert so powerful an indU
in political affairs and practically blow
up ministry With few dynamite
bombs.

Some Kansas History.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The newspapers of Kansas continue to
talk about Lewelling being the first
governor elected who lived more than
sixty miles beyond the eastern line OF
the state. James n. Harvey, still liv-
ing in the west edge of Riley county, $50
miles west, was elected governor in 1868
and again in 1870. Wichita, the home
of Governor Leweilng. is probably
thirty miles still farther west. Governor
Harvey settled On the farm he still
occupies in 1859. In 1861 he enlisted in
the army, and served through the war
as a aptain in the Tenth Kansas. In
1865 and again in 1866 he repre-
scented Riley county in the house of
representatives, elected state senator III
1865, and from that position stepped into
the governors Office. In 1874 he was
elected to the United States senate to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Alexander Caldwell, serving until
the expiration of his term, March 4,
1877, wien he was succeeded by z. &.
Plumb. He was a faithful and true
man. On account of rheumatism he
spent a couple OF years IN Virginia, but
the Kansas spirit ia him was too much
and he returned TO his farm III Riley

COLUMBUS PERSONALITY.
The Great Obscurity Tha. Surrounds ths
Life of the Dbscoyerer.

When we think of the immeasurabl
results of the first voyage across the
Atlantic, we are tempted 10 conceive
the leader of the expedition as a man
who has broken free from all traditions
On the contrary, he was held fast IN
the dark prison of middle age theories,
in the letters of blind belief in author
ity: he was lost in the labyrinth of
sophistical mystieism-iost as but few
OF his eontem poraries. and among them
still fewer sailors, were lost Like Don
Quixote, he ,ireant of the revival of the
faded chivalry; he looked for a renewal
Of the Crusades. for the destruction OF
every enemy OF >ehe holy faith By fire
and sword. He believed absolutely in
the fulhliment Of childish prophecies
IN his own person: and declared himself
the apostle of the TriuDe God
This marvellous contrast between the
person OF the discoyerer and his achieve
ments explains the fact that the inter
est OF his contemporaries was SO soon
diverted from the man and directed TO
his deeds This, too, Is the reason why
we have so little information about the
life and development OF this
wonderful man. A literary quarrel
has sprung up concerning almost
every important eTrnt IN his
life. The year Of his birth has been
holly disputed: nor is il yet known IN
what house he first saw the Ign.
These questions are important, fn, TO
this day we canuos answer them VILE
