The WIds.Reaehing Influence of che Dlms
 Novel of America.
 The Indian has always had deadly enemy in the small boy, and doubtless always will have. says the New York Morning Advertiser. The reading of one dime novel is sufficient to implant in the breast of the average youngster the conviction that the Indian has no business to live, and that it is his duty to exterminate him at the earliest pos sible moment. The latest develop ments go to show that the German translation of the American dime novel will even stir the blood of a German boy away of in Hamburg. Ernest Brandt, eleven years old, living in that city, read an Indian tale or two, and, not knowing that other boys had been moved in the same way, he made up his mind at once that the Indian was indeed a ''varmint" that must be re- moved from the face of the earth. He saw his duty, and at the first opportuni ty set out for America, determined to begin the slaughter the moment he ar rived. His disappointment was great at finding no trail in Battery park, and his disgust must have been considerable when he found only a wooden Indian here and there on Broadway. After ''keeping his eyes peeled as they do in the dime novels, and finding no Indians worthy of his vengeance, he went out to White Plains, near Yonkers, doubtless associating White Plains with the plains over which the Indians roamed, and | took service on farm to await develop ments. It was here he learned that the Indians were farther west, and, feeling that he must soon make some of them "bite the dust" he stole the farmers rife, gold watch, sleeve buttons and other necessaries, and came to New York to 'get his bearings previous to starting on the western trail. A small boy wiGh large rifle attracted the at tention of Bowery policeman, and he was arrested. His great scheme of slaughter is frustrated, and for the time at least the Indian is safe. The incl dent shows the wide-reaching influence of the American dime novel, and the dangers which constantly beset the path of the redman.

IF Cardinal Moran of Sydney should be translated" to Westminster, the power of the Catholic church in Eng land will still be devoted to a vigorous support of the claims of the democracy. Cardinal Moran has been as hearty a champion of the cause of labor in Aus tralia as Cardinal Manning in England and his translation would afford un- limited satisfaction to the Irish who, of course, are nearly ten times as nu- merous as their English co-religionists. Cardinal Moran is an Irishman, and is of pronounced views on the home rule question, as we'll as on the labor ques- tion and other social topics. He was for some years bishop of the diocese of Ossory, where he was intensely popular, and about seven years ago he was called by the pope, who had formed and still retains, very high opinion of his capacity, to take charge of the arch diocese of Sydney. A few years subse- quently, he received a cardinals hat in recognition of the administrative talent which he had manifested, and of the re. markable progress which, under his guidance, the Catholic church had made in Australia.

Mrs. NEIllion,n Ride.

When Mrs Million goes to ride she travels
 forth in sta'e,
 Her horses, full of fire and pride, go pranc-
 ing from the gate;
 But all the beauties of the day she views with lauguid eye,
 Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her
 voice is but sigh.
 For Mrs Million is in an advanced stage ot catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth can buy fail to give her comfort. She envies her rosy waiting maid, and would give all her riches for that young woman's pure health and blooming health. Now, if some true and disinter, ested friend would advice Mrs Million of the wonderful merits of Dr Sage's CatarTh Remedy, she wpuid learn that her case is not past help. $500 reward is offered by the manufactures for case of catarrh in the head which they cannot cure.

AN effort will be made to get con- gress to authorize the re issue of fractional currency for remittance by mail. Postal notes are largely used for this purpose, but these can be obtained only at the postOffice. The Springfield Union recently made an excellent sug- gestion when it proposed that postal notes be printed in convenient denOmi- nations and sold as stamps are, not only at the postotfice, but at agencies. Post age stamps are frequently used for transmission by mail in payment of small accounts, but they are not con venient "currency" and are not always acceptable to the party receiving them, as the stamps are seldom used except in payment of postage. Postal notes printed ill the denominations of the coins below five dollars would be very convenient.

So the stout lady turned and said, in freezing tones: II wish tc converse with my friends, and would like that seat. am Mrs President R. of this road" The girls stared at hel an instant, and then one of then drawled, "Pleased to meet you, Tn sure. I suppose you know I am Mr' President Harrison, of Washington. The other girl, settling herself comfort ably in her seat, said, land I am Mir Queen Victoria" Neither of then moved, and Mrs President R. had to g' back to her own seat.
