Smugglers on the Mexican border
have adopted the device of bringing
opium across the line secreted in 0
coffin. A corpse was brought over
the border one day recently. Only 9
careless examination was made, as
the Mexicsns resent interference with
the dead. When the procession was
out of sight OF the customs officers
1t struck fer the foothills instead OF
going to San Diego. An American,
who observed this, followed the
mourners and traced them to q house
where, through . window, he saw
many small tins Of opium taken from
the coffin.

In aletter ofthe 9th inst. Nj. Cleye-
land informs an exspectant public that
he Is q candidate for Q third nomins-
rs the Democratic candidate for
One term and two candi-
would satisfy his personal am
bition, but duty calls and he must
obey. 1, Is the good little Samuel
listening 10 q voice that he dare not
dissbey. In q letter to the sharp
tongued Bragg of Fond du Lac he
admits that If the country and his
party need his services he will forego
the sweets Of private life and make
the race.
II Grover Cleveland thinks the
public takes any stock in that sort Of
mock modesty he is mistaken. 1t
would be ridiculous in almest any one
else. lie has so sften dealt out high
sounding platitude and done so much
posing that very little attention will
be paid to that feature of the case.
Stripped of all fiummcry, Mr.. Clcvs-
laua's letter 10 Bragg means simply
that Notwithstanding the lockout of
his own State he is still . candidate.
New York will not give him a vote
in the convention, but there is no law
compelling q candidate to drop out
Of the race ii he is deprived of home
support. We recall NO case in which
any candidate went into the field
without at least q goodly backing
from his own State, but We do recall
two or three cases of the nomination
of candidates for town Offices ever
the votes of the candidates own
wards. The ex-President is assured
Of the support of Rhode Island, anil
very nearly of all New England and
Wisconsin. Why should he despair?
1t does take a %two-thirds majority, it
Is true, to nominate, but, then, if the
convention should be seized by q sad
den impulse to rebuke Tammany and
sit down on Hill that would settle it.
MI. Cleveland does the sensible
thing. lie can not afford to retire.
That would be RELOCATION to private
life forever, with no hope of ~resusci-
tation. Better defeat in open battle.
The soldier who falls with face to the
foe is not esteemed much more highly
than the coward who skulks behind
the bushes. Grover is not very old
yet Should he make a gallant but
losing fight, and should his successful
rival be badly beaten at the polls, his
own prestige would be preserved.
The year 1896 is not far off. David
d. Hill may succeed in a mutual
Knockout, but, even if sure OF it, MI.
Cleveland would be compelled, by
regard for the future, to stand up
like a man and take his medicine.

A New Mineral.

The discovery n southern Oregon Of
o new and peculiar deposit Of o~zocerite
has created considerable interest as in.
dicating the possible opening up Of an.
other and valuable industry in that sec.

lar article within q few years in Utah,
where the deposit is DOW producing
about three hundred thousand pounds o
year. It is u mineral wax which, In its
refined form, has nearly all the proper
ties Of beeswax except sickness, but
in cases where that quality is desirable
1t is only necessary to wax the mineral
with the ordinary beeswax. Like other
hydrocarbon compounds, crude zoc
tie is used to o considerable extent rs
an insuletor for electrical wires, and
belongs to that series Of hydrocarbon
compounds which include marsh gas
petroleum and parafin, being, in fact,
quite similar IN appearance to the Lat
ter; 1t burns very freely, with q dense
smoke, but no odor. This Oregon min
eral wax, however, differs in appear
snce from the Utah article, being of q
white, and its specific gravity
Is very small -

The Democratic press reports that
tho outlook fer economy by the Dem
ocratic House at Washington is not
as bright as it should be; that Judge
Holman has been overridden by his
associates, his protests ignored and
that now that the bars are down other
extravagent bills will be rushed
through by the Democratic majority.
1t is said that the River aud IIarbor
bill makes prodigious appropriations
and thst the effort to discontinue ap-
prcpriations for public buildings is
meeting with q surprising amount OF
opposition. So it goes! And the
'cheeseparen propose 10 make things
even BY cutting down the pension
appropriations over s12,0OO,oOo and
reducing the naval appropriations by
$s,001,000. This 10 the kind of econo-
the people wont submit TO.

The gloomy news from Europe
continues. Famine stalks abroad,
with disease, desperation and death
in its hideous wake. Reports from
Wien shown great increase in crime,
which is attributed to the general
industrial prostration in Europe.
Numerous deaths from starvation are
reported in Hungary, . country which
seems to deserve its name just now,
Meanwh bile the famine in Russia con.
tinues in all its horror, and the ccaI
miners strike started in England ha,
spread to Belgium. No wonder the

President Harrison's remark that
the successor OF Justice Bradley Oh the
Supreme bench should be . young
man has created Q great deal Of in
~terest, As it puts several prominent
gentlemen. who.have been spoken of
in connection with the vacancy, out
Of the question. But Mr.. Harrison is
certainly right in his remark. He
should select q man not ove As or
so years of age, so that the country
may be likely to have the benefit
of vigorous service from him for q
long term of years. The Supreme
court should not be q refuge for men
of advanced years who have passed
the meridian Of their powers and who
are likely to lag %superhuous on the
bench.

Senator Teller, Of Colorado, is re-
ported as saying that his opposition
to the denomination of President
Harrison Is not because Of any per-
ssnal grievance, as stated in several
Eastern papers, but simply because
he don't agree with him on his fnan-
ciai policy as applied to silver" We
love President Harrison for the great
good that he has accomplished, for
the threatening evils that he has pre-
vented, and among many other things
Gfor the enemies that he has made"

So far as pride in family goes that
man has most cause for it who can
show the greatest progress from the
condition of his forbears. He who has
risen to q station of trust and honor
while tracing bis descent from q con-

that other who Is a direct descendent
of pious Puritans Or aristocratic cav
alters; for the one has had the hered-
ity to contend with, while the other
has not done more than to retain the

The cheapest thing on earth and
the best is health. The one thing
that money cannot buy, riches cannot
save and the doctors cannot make is
health. The fool saith in his heart,
@no matter how l live the doctor can
recover me-" and the doctor says in
his own inner consciousness, Thou
fool" Health is neither made nor
purchased. 1t is, in q measure, like
money; you cannot spend your money
and keep it tee. When health is gone
it is, again like money lest, %irrecover-
able. The Fancy" may take this as
pleasantly but sterner truth was never
told. Health is preserved, fostcred
indeed, by right habits, and the indul-
gence of a hygienic diet and practices.
With these come the GROWING glories
OF man; a stout arm, a strong mind, q
sping in the heel and a healthy stem-
ach; and there is nothing like il On
the round earth.

The so called queen bee is really the
mother of the hive. Her functions are
maternal rather than regal. If she may
be said to reign in certain sense, the
workers rule, deciding all questions and
performing all acts affecting the COM
mon veal. Populous and powerful bee
communities sometimes relapse into
barbarism, renounce the life of peaceful
industry for which they have become
proverbial, acquire predatory habits and
roam about the country as freebooters,
plundering the smaller and weaker
hives and subsisting on the spoils.
These brigand bees seldom reform; if
they busily Improve each shiniag hour"
it is not to "gather honey all the day
from every opening flower" but TO
range the fields in looting parties and
ransack the homes of honest honey
makers. Against these marauders of
apian society and other foes the honey
bees often fortify their hives, barricad-
ing the entrance by thick wall, with
bastions, classmates and deep, narrow
gateways. When there seems to be no
immediate danger - hostilea attack these
defensive works, which seriously inter-
fere with the ordinary industrial life Of
the hive, are removed and not rebuilt
until there is fresh occasion for alarm

One of the theories of the age was that
the devil set his mark upon each sof his
servants-that witches were all marked.
A jury OF the sex of the accused was an
pointed 70 examine the body for such
marks. It.often happened that some ex-
crescence Of hesh common to old people.
or one explainable by natural causes. was
found. One such was found on the body
of Goody Nurse and reported TO the
court. all but one of the Jury agreeing to
the report. Rebecca Preston and Mary
Tarbell knew that the mark was from
natural causes. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woman of
the jury of examination was one of the
most ancient, skillful and prudent, and
further declared, Il there rendered a
sufficient known reason of the moving
cause thereof" She asked for the ap-
pointment OF another jury to inquire
into the case and examine the marks
found ON her person.
The jury of trials returned verdict
of not guilty. Thereupon all the ac-
cusers in court "clied out" with renewed
vigor and We're taken in the most vio-
lent fits, rolling and tuinhling about,
creating a scene of the widest confusion.
The judges told the jurymen that they
had not carefully considered 'one ex-
preston of the prisoner, namely, that
when one Hobbs, confessing witch,
was brought'in as evidence against her
she said: what, do you bring herr She
is one of u.s." The jury retired for fur
ther consultation. Even then they could
not agree upon a verdict of guilty
They returned to the courtroom and de-
sired that the accused explain the re-
mark. She made no response, and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty.-New
