False Friendship.

It is 0 maxim, well established in moral philosophy, that men are infu- enced in their conduct by what appears to them to be to their interest. Yet what ingenuity can discern an interest in basely abusing the trust of an honest man, who has paid you the compliment to suppose you worthy of his conf dence2 Is there any pleasure in view ing the keen mortifcations of one whom, by the same blow, you have cruelty injured and greatly disappoint- ed? If such sight can please you, how much has vice changed the original sim plicity of your natureI The spacious pretender who artfully gains the conf dence of an amiable and unsuspecting heart, then wantonly betrays it, of all villains deserves most to be detested. The robber may possess generosity. the murderer will sometimes display great and rare qualities, but the false betray- CT of implicit friendship can have no character above contracted ittleness.

Going Abroad.

A man does not need to be rich to take a trip to Europe, nor does he need to spen6 much money or much time on the trip. With a couple of hundred dol lars in his pocket and month at his disposal he can take passage in any ship of the half-dozen always at our docks, go to any of a score of European ports, pass fortnight in travel or sight-see- ing.in any country he may select, and getiback here by the end of the month.
 All, the New Workers are aware of these facts, says the Sdn of that city, yet some of them talk as if it were a big thing, a hard thing and a costly thing to take 8 trip to old Europe. It is as easy as slid ing off log, and not much dearer. It is worth doing. if a man wants to get someEhing'to talk about all the rest of his life, or if he would like to write a book of travel based upon actual ob- servation. There are several things in Europe that an American may look at with interest after he has taken in all the sights in his own booming republic.

MIR BLAINE is not playing the role of a political sphinx for fun. He has purpose in exhibiting himself every day where he knows his appearance will be commented upon, and while he refuses to talk about the republican nomina- tion, further than to say he doesn't want it, he tells everyone who calls upon him that he feels stronger than at any time for ten years past, and that his health IS perfect. There is no doubt that his health has greatly improved re- gently; that is plain to all who see him, and there is good ground for the suspi- cion that he is perfectly willing now to accept the nomination if he can get it without saying beforehand that he wishes it. His health is not the only reason for this change of mind. Mrs Blaine, whose wishes always exercise a powerful influence over him, has, it is said, made up her mind that she wants him to accept the nomination, just to keep it away from MT Harrison, whose wife she wishes to humble because of some real or fancied slight. The philosopher who said Ca woman is at the bottom of everything" was not far out of the way.

What Your Grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow, and made the clothes for her hus- band and ten children. She made butter and cheese, she dipped tallow candles to light the house at night, and she cooked all the food for her house. hold by an open fireplace and a brick oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of age, she was already an old lady whose best days were over. Her shoulders were bent and her joints en- larged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and a cap. Her great grand daughter, with all the modern conve- niences for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and at tractive at forty-five as at twenty. Es- pecially is this true if she preserves her health and beauty by the use of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which wards of all female ailments and irregu- larities, cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the woman of middle age to retain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and it's elasticity in her step.

His Brain Was BlOOdless--New Theories
 as to the Death Current.
 ROCHESTER, May 21.-In all interview Dr. Frederick Remington, one of the physicians at the Tice execution at Au- burn, said:
 ''When we made the autopsy we found the brain was bloodless, the result we thought of terror in which the subject was, for it is known to physiologists that fear produces that effect on the brain. In previous post mortems made on bodies of men executed by electricity the "spots of Tardieur'' were found on the body. They are caused by ruptures of the minute blood vessels. But none were found on Tice. The abdominal and thoracic organs were found congested, but we thought that it was also due to fear.
 ''Tice had been suffering from locomo- tor ataxis, a hardening of the spinal cord, and this case is regarded with un- common interest by medical men from the fact that the condition of the spinal cord after death seems to confirm the theory that the electric fluid passes through the saline fluids of the body rather than through the nervous cen tres, as other theorists contend. There was no discoloration of the skin such as usually follows death from lightning" :"

A DYNAMITE FACTORY BLOWN UP

Two Discharged WOrkEnen, at Galaceno,
 When Refused Reinstatement, De1iber-
 ately Exploded the works--Nany People
 Injured by Falling Walls.
 MADRID, May 21.-Six men and three women were killed by the explosion in the Galdaceno dynamite factory, which was blown up by Anarchists yesterday. Many others were seriously hurt.
 Two workmen were discharged from the factory Thursday for insubordina- tion. They threatened revenge. At 10 o'clock in the morning they applied for reinstatement, but this was refused. They went away and sat down by the roadside within sight of the factory. They were still there when the superin- tendent went out for coffee half an hour later. As the superintendent returned he saw them running away from the back of the smaller of the two buildings in which a large quantity of nitro glycerine was stored.
 A few seconds later there was a ter rife report, both buildings being lifted about forty feet into the air and then went to splinters. All the people in the immediate neighborhood were stunned by the shock. In Bilbao, five miles away. the ground trembled as if shaken Oy an earCnQuake, ana people ran 1nGO the streets in panic.
 At Galdaceno the scene of destr uction was appalling. For hundreds of yards around the factory only ruins are left. Splinters of the ruined factory covered the ground, but not piece of board or beam as large as 8 mans han d could be found. Trees were split down the trunks, outbuildings were laid flat, an not chimney was left standing within a mile and a half. The factory was working short handed and several ot the men had gone out for their second breakfast SO that there were but nine persons in the buildings when the ex- plosion came. Of these nine but few vestiges remain. Relatives and friends have been searching the fields but have been unable to find anything but shat tered pieces of limbs and small pieces of clothing belonging to the dead. The fragments have been collected in boxes.
 The number of injured has not been ascertained, but many women and chil- dren living near the factory have been severely if not mortally hurt. The two workmen who were discharged are un- der arrest. Both deny that they were responsible for the explosion. One o1 them has injuries which show that he was near the factory when the explosion took place, and both have been con- fronted by the superintendent who re- peated his accusations in their prese nee. Both men belong to the group known as Anarchist Communists, who are tn most violent of the Spanish Internatio n als, and have their cen ters of agitation [ in Bilbao, Barcelona, Heres and Valen cia.

THE 10000, ,00O silver coins which it is proposed that the government shall issue for the worlds fair will have the weight and fineness of the present half dollars, aud, although their face value will be $5, ,0OO, the cost of them to the government will not exceed $3, ,50OS. 900. The most objectionable feature of the proposition is that it authorizes the secretary of the treasury to purchase American silver bullion in addition to the present monthly purchases to an amount sufficient to enable him to com ply with the terms of the act, and the sum of $4, ,OO0, 900 is appropriated for the purpose. As the government has on hand nearly $15,OO0,OOO oe fractional silver coin, most of it, we believe, in the form of half dollars, and as this un- current coin has for years been an in- cubus on the treasury, the purchase of silver bullion for the worlds fair tokens
 would be sheer waste of money. If
 the issue of the tokens is decided upon, the recoinage of uncurrent fractional silver is the best, and, indeed, the only rational way of obtaining the metal for the new pieces.

TREASURY inspectors have seized cuts of stamps from Philadelphia dealer, on much the same plea as they seized the painted greenback, says the Collec- tor. The plates seized were simply in tended to be used on letter-heads and business cards, and were in no way col orable limitations of government issues. They were steel. plate representations of Washington's head on the ordinary two-cent stamp, enlarged four times, and innocent of any lettering except the firm name. The copies could not have been used for postage under any circumstances, yet the treasury depart, ment ordered their confscation, and they were delivered up to be destroyed. What with this sort of thing, and the senseless levying of duty on imported stamps, the poor collectors lot is not one of unalloyed happiness.

IS IT GOOD
L.s;lAMYER MEDICINE co. BRlDcEPORT, CONN.


Many people have asked this question, many are asking it now, because they know they need a Spring Tonic and Blood Purifier, and want the best. To any such we can positively answer and truthfully that our DANDELIoN COMPOUND is the best blood purifier, tonic and alternative now known. The reasons are that in com position it is entirely vegetable, it's ingre- dients are all carefully selected, it is made on the most approved scientific principles, and is in all respects perfectly reliable, safe, and meritorious production.
 We know of many who are now using it with decided benefit, and to their own en- tire satisfaction, but we have yet to hear of one case where it has failed to do all and exactly that which we claim for 1t. We neither admire nor use sensational ad- vertising, but aim to state the exact truth.

WORLDS FAIR AND SUNDAY CLOSING.

Not the Intention of the Managers to Run
 the Machinery on the Sabbath.
 WASHINGTON, May 21.-Congressman Hopkins of Illinois says that nearly all the people who are sending in petitions to have the Worlds Fair closed on Sun day are doing so under 8 misapprehen- sion.
 "They all seem to think that those who want the Fair opened on Sunday want the wheels of the whole exposition to be going round. This is wrong. In the first place, it has not been decided yet whether the Fair will be open Sun day or not. am told that the subject has never been brought up by the Board of Directors. In the second place, these directors who are in favor of keeping it open Sunday, are not in favor of permit ting any of the machinery to be op- rated. They merely want the fine art galleries and similar exposition halls open, so that people can stroll through them just as they do through all the art galleries in the cities.
 'As for running the heavy machinery, that has never been contemplated by anybody.
 ''Then, again, some people claim that if the Exposition is not shut one day, all of the employees will have to work seven days a week. The fact is that the Worlds Fair is being built on the eight hour plan, and six days constitutes a weeks work. An additional force of employees would be kept in reserve so that nobody would have to work seven

Poet1.Y and Alloquence.

Nearly all men feel the power of elo- uuence, but poetry does not sway the multitude, it does not sway at all, it reaches the spirit, says John Burroughs in. the Chautauquan, while eloquence stops with the reason and the emotions. Eloquence is much the more palpable, real, available; it is a wind that fills every sail and makes every mast bend, while poetry is a breeze touched with wild perfume from field or wood. Poe try is consistent with perfect tranquil 1ity of spirit; true poem may have the calm of a summer day, the placidity of a mountain lake, but eloquence is tor rent, a tempest, mass in motion, an army with banners, the burst of hun dred instruments of music. Tenny- sons ''Maud" is notable blending of the two. There is something martial in eloquence, tho roll of the drum, the cry of the fife, the wheel and flash of serried ranks. Its end is action, it shapes events, it takes captive the req son and the understanding. Its basis is ,earnestness, vehemence, depth of con viction. There is no eloquence without heat, and no poetry without light. An earnest man is more or less an eloquent man. Eloauence belongs to the world of actual affairs and events; it is aroused by great wrongs and great dan gers; it hourishes in the forum and the senate. Poetry is more private and per sonal, Is more for the soul and the re- 1igious instincts; it courts solitude and vvoos the ideal

IT is becoming evident to the San Francisco Chronicle that New York is getting her fill of the ''little brown man," though there are not many Chinese there in proportion to the popu- lation of the city. They monopolize the laundry business, keeping some 10000 white men out of employment, and in other trades and occupations they keep the scale of wages down below the rate at which white men can do work pro- fitably.
