LOREN "EXPLAINs:' AGAIN.
His Vote on the Exemption Bill
PrOhibs Will Go to Court.

Every day of tie congressional cam
paign emphasizes the old aphorism.
You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" "Uncle Loren" Fletcher can
not learn that the characteristics of
voters have changed since he used to
run for the legisl ature. He cannot
learn that the voter of today thinks for
himself without believing everything
that is told him, and that he can dis
cover flaws in illogical explanations as
inability to bring himself into touch
with the last decade of the nineteenth
century is emphasized by his continued
explanation OF my record" in the leg
islature. He has been explaining again.
This time he undertakes to explain his
neglect to vote for the exemption law
of 1872. on the ground that the bill pro-
vided that it should not apply to labor
erS in the employ of railroads. How is
this? At the same session Of the legis-
lature bill was pending and passed,
giving laborers lien on railroads for
their wages. MI. Fletcher's attitude on
ton bill. Will Mr.. Fletcher explain
again?
The Prohibs are fighting mad. The
treatment they received at the hands of
tie Republicans in the appointment of
judges of election is the cause of their
rage. The Prohibilionists submitted
list of 10l names for judges of election,
and only fortyfive of those names were
accepted by the Republican majority of
the city council, tue remaining lifty-six
places TO which the PrOhibitionisls were
entitled being appropriated by the Re-
pnblicans. The action of the Repub-
lcan aldermen is clearly violation of
the state law. The law covering this
point eads:
Judges of election shall be selected
from lists so submitted in the following
manner: One for each election district
from each of said lists so recommended
by the said different parties; the first to
be selected from the list submitted by
the party polling the largest number OF
votes in said city or village at the pre-.

ni. .Apo.to,len M.i.s,r,

It is not universally known that the
full title of the Emperor of Austria is his
" apostolic majesty, and apropos of this
is told an amusing story. The dignity
surrounding the Austrian kaiser for the
time being has always greatly impressed
his fellow sovereigns; it even caused Ma
poleon l., that determined enemy OF all
venerable monarchies, to regard it with
admiration, not altogether, as the sequel
shows, unmixed with envy. Seeing one
day his wife, Marie Louise, addressing a
letter to Francis l., Emperor of Austria,
Napoleon was considerably struck by the
title Of apostolic" majesty which she
gave her father. As soon as possible Ma
Ipoleon questioned Prince Metternich on
the subject, not wishing his wife to see
that he was SO ignorant on this subject
of titles. Metternich having duly ex-
planned to Napoleon that the title origi-
mated at the holy Roman empire, Ma
poleon remarked with amusing candor:
i like the idea very much. People ought
to have holy horror of an emperor. /
shall adopt the little apostolic majesty
myself some day, but not just yet"

Turner. the naturalist, declared that he
once saw upon the coast Of Brazil race
o. gigantic savages. ono of whom was II
feet in height. M. Thevet, OF France,
in his description Of America, published
in Paris in 1876. asserted that he saw and
measured the skeleton Of South Ameri-
can which was II feet inches in length.
The Chinese are said to claim that In the
last century there were men in their
country who measured 10 feet in height.
Josephus mentions the case OF Jew who
was 10 feet inches in height. Pliny tells
Of an Arabian giant, Garbara, 9 feet 8
inches, the tallest man in the days of
Claudius. John Middleton, born in Hale,
In Lancashire, in the time Of James l.,
was 8 feet 8 inches in height; his hand
was n inches long and 81 inches broad,

Trinity College, Dublin, is 8 feet 8 inches

A Modern cat-o,-Nine-Tails.

1t is said that in a number of peniten-
tiaries three foot section of rubber hose
lis used for the purpose OF infiicting
corporal punishment on recalcitrant
prisoners. Humanely speaking, the. idea
is an improvement on the old cat-o'-nine-
tails and other instruments of correction.
A few years ago the principal of one of
the schools in this city, who had been
complained OF for cruelty chastising his
pupils, experimental with three foot
length of hose, and discovered, much tc
his satisfaction, that he could extract the
most ear-splitting howls from his charges
without leaving single perceptible mark
on their skins. In fact, rubber hose hurts
Rwfully but leaves no trace, and this cir
cumstance has no doubt led to its employ.

Labor n Ai..E.,. wna..

The workingman need not complain In
Alaska. Three dollars day, with board
and lodging provided by his employers,
are miners wages. Indian workmen in
the mines receive e q day and find !"
themselves. The cost of provisions adds
. dollar day for each white empioye to
the expenses Of the mining company, and
with these items in the operating ex-
penses, any fractions of dividends SUM-
GENTLY prove the richness of the mines.
Hydraulic mining begins In May and
lasts until October; and unless they are
situated in snow-choked canons, difficult
of access, the quartz mills oan run all the
year round. The great Treadwell mill on
Douglas Island thunders night and day,
winter and summer, grinding out in the
twelve months ending with last May
s769, 765. So-sufficient answer to all that
has been said against Alaska'se being or
becoming great mining country. Har-

weight by the stone.

Measurementof weight by the "stone,"
says writer, arose from the old custom
farmers had OF weighing wool with Il
stone. Every farmer kept large stone.
At his farm for this purpose. When a
dealer came along he balanced plank on
top OF wall, and put the stone on one
and and bags OF wool on the other until
the weights were equal At first the
stones were of all sorts of sizes and
weight with the result that dealers who
wished to make living had to be re.
markably knowing in their estimates OF
them. But the many inconvenience
evolved by this inequality eventually re-
suited in the stones being made of a uni.
form weight.-Newcastle Chronicle.

TAMM1NY'S IRON GRIP.

Tammany is getting the municipal departments
morn completely under its control. ~ long a'
John r. Voorhis remained in the Ponce BOARD
Tammanv had only two votes that could always
he dopcndcd upon. those of Commissioners Mac
Lean and Martin. Mr. NoorhiS often voted with
his Tammany colleagues. but it was community
necessary 70 concilia,o and pacate the Noorhis
Democracy in order to keep their leader IN INC
At the meetings Of the Police Commission No"
Mr.. Noorhis has been appointed Ponce jus
ticc and John G.. Shcchan has been made folce
Commissioner in his place. Mr.. Croker ana MS
Tammany cutonants can feel confident mere
after that the entire police force OF tins city IS
absolutely at their mercy, ami the TREMENDOUS
machinery of that department will be run at fuh
nrossurc throughout the year, and especially 1t
election times 10 increase the Tammany vote
These arc pcriloua days which the city OF
New-Yorls is entering upon. Tammany Is gan
ing ground in authority and dominion in every
direction And as It's strength grows It's scrlipes
lessen. and ita respect for public sentiment w"k-
ems. \ few years ago Mr.. Croker and his Tan
many iunta would have hcsitated before helping
TO push through the Legislature such infamous
steals as the McCarrcn Bridge bill aud The
{. Uucflcberry Railroad" bill. And consider Tor
a moment the charming consistency OF Mayor
Grant In all of his messages he has Insisted
,lpon the importance Of " home rule" in municipal
affairs and has denounced legislative interior
cnce at Albany. But when a Tammany Legs
loture masses a bill TO relieve the McCarcn
bridge property from all taxation for many
ycars, our amiablc Mayor has no word OF pro-
tost. He remarks that he has great confidence
in the ability Of the members of the Legislature
TO look after public interests! Mr. Gllroy IL To
have three millions to spend on pavements, every
department Of tho city government is to not in
extravaganza, and a colossal Tweed county
courthouse job looms mp in the plan for new
municipal building. And think of the possible
compromise of the claims of the Aqueduct con
tractors If all tho Tammany leaders will not
be fairly wallowing in riches in very short
time every sign fails.
