Eccentric Personal bookkeeping.

y most eccentric person died "A few
days ago in Berlin at the age of seventy
three. He began on his eighteenth
birthday and kept mp till his seventietR
year a book which showed that during
tifty-two years he had noted the smoking
Of CPS, 115 cigars, of which he had re
ceived 1902 as presents, while for the
remaining 5S5,O3l lie had paid 2,OSG
l2s. Sd, which shows that his tastes
were Mt any rate not unduly extrava-
giant. During the same period he had
had IS pairs of trousers made, costing
altogether G92 IS. Sd; II coats and
waiatcoats for GlJS 9s. I'd; g. pairs of
boots for GC6 2s. I'd; he wore out 29S
shirts and fronts" and 33G collars, cost
ing altogether G57 81. al. In tram fares
he spent EG5 l3s. %. In fifteen years.
according to lis bookkeeping, he had
drunk 2S,1SJ glasses IF Bayarian beer,
Of which, however, 2l,26l were only
small ones. For this beer and 36, 0s1

Now is ths season when The merry
crabbcr, naJ in hand, wends his way to
his favosi.e fishing grounds, which are
mostly found aJ tho foot of Clinton
street and in the Erie and Brooklyn
basins, on each side Of the long dock
The millions Of logs that are stored
there offer secure fishing stations for
hundreds of anglers for the ugly look
ing but toothsomo crustacean. All day
naked Youngsters are perched on these
logs watching their bait, chasing each
other over the slippery lumber or diving
and padding in the water. The outfit
of the craLher is simple enough. If
fully equipped he carries Il round purse
net stretched over an iron ring some
two or three feet in diameter. At the
bottom a stone is dropped to stretch the
net when in the water. The crab is a
greedy feeder and not at all choice in
what it eats. FISH heads or chunks Of
half decayci meat are fastened across
the net, which is dropped in the water
and secured by a rope to the stringpiece.
Once in awhile it is hauled up and be-
fore master crab can disgorge he is out
of his clement and transferred to a bag
or basket, there TO squirm and pinch
with his fellow captives. But the small
bcy's outfit is far simpler; it consists of
a long handled net and piece of string
with chunk Of carrion tied to one end.
This is lowered into the shallow water
where crabs abound, and once in awhile
the juvenile fisher draws the bait gently
toward the surface. The crab is gener-
ally too busy to do anything but feed
until he i almost at the surface, when
the net is scooped under him ard he is
landed with q whoop Of exultation.
No angler for trout, salmon or blue
fish pursucs his game more intently
than the craJber does, but how in these
burning days the youngsters can remain
naked on the logs for half day without
losing every particle of skin is mystery.
Their yellow little hides seem as imper-
yious to the suns heat as those of the
Egyptian elldhs.-Brooklyn Eagle.

According to a writer great part of
Russia is threatened with the heat and
aridity Of the central Asian steppes.
As long ago as 1850, shortly after a fam
inc in Russia, the effect of deforestation
in the country about the Donez was
complained Of. No attention was paid
TO the complaint. Deforestation went
on; streams and springs dried up; spring
and summer rains began TO fall, and
their cessationis the cause of the failure
of last years harvest in Russia. The
Russian government is waking up, too
late perhaps, to restore the trees except
at an enormous expense and after long
period of labor and waiting.
That which has occurred in Russia
and other European countries, changing
fruitful regions to deserts, is going on in
the United States. Let us not plunge
our heads deep into conceit and Opt
mism, assuring ourselves that the laws
of nature have no force in America

THE Democratic party of this county
isthreatened with an acute attack Of
bronchitis, of some other physical all
ment, concerning which the doctors dis
agree. Ever since the late Democratic
convention in which the fine "Miche-
vellian" hands of the bosses were seen
in front of the drop curtain, the party
has been rent IN twain, like the veil OF
the holy temple at Jerusalem, showing
up to the vulgar mob on the outside
something of the innerworkings OF the
"masheen." Yesterday morning the
Gdzette, which is acknowledged to he
the Democratic organ Of the county,
lat tine point OF the bayonet) pulls
itself up to it's full height, Sxl0, and
grows reighteously indignant at this pa
per because it "tells stories" and tries
to create dissension on the Southsldc.
We quote the Gd-ette'S exact words:
"An attempt is being made by the enemy to
create a split In the Democratic ranks, over nj
legged dissatisfaction in Tempe with the ticket
Let any Republican interview the Democrats
OF Tempe, and he will ind to Il man they are
well appreciated at the Butte city that what
ever she she lost, she lost through no trickery,
but through lack of organization ut home.
Tempe is true blue"
AS a matter OF good faith and to show
that THE REPUBLICAN always prints the
news, we append below the Ga.eHe'S
statement, an editorial from the Tempe
NeWs, edited by member OF the
Democratic Central committee, aud
recognized organ OF the faithful" on
the Southside. Here is where the doc
tors disagree as to the atIliction. The
NsWS says:
the Democratic convention of Maricopa
county for 1872 is thing of the past II still
remains to be seen, however, whether the de
of its master-the people. Ii still remains to
be proven whether 10 was wisdom, not - men.
ton justice, 10 entirely ignore the claims of one
of the largest tax paying precincts in the
county A district which certainly deserves
some recognition at the hands of the party
which expects so much from IL on election day
The News sincerely regrets that the convention
saw III to adopt the methods OF that cody two
years ago, thus again inviting the disastrous
results which followed.
There is a striking lack OF similarity
in these statements. The trouble is
that the machine in attempting to
swallow the whole animal left out the
growl-and now it's too late.

PROFESSOR BARNARD's discovery of a
fifth satellite OF Jupiter breaks the geo.
metric progression, which used to run
Earth, one; Mars, two; Jupiter, four ;
Saturn, eight; Uranus, two, Neptune,
one. The question now is whether this
small thirteenth magnitude moon is
not new product, For nearly three
hundred years Jupiter has been an OBJ
ject of the closest telescope attention,
but the small satellite has escaped de-
lection. Great commissions have been
taking place for several years, as evil
denced by The famous red spot and
other phenomena. The rapid motion
OF the little stranger seems to favor the
theory OF it's recent birth from the great

A STRAY CONVENTION.

That is a queer idea of holding q
wool convention in New Mexico, but
there is one now in session at Albu-
querque. New Mexico would better
vote for its friends, and then talk about
its main industry afterward. 1t must
take a large bale OF gall to supply the
men who are bold enough to invite del
egstes Of the sheep industry to meet in
a Democratic territory, which ex-
presses by its vote preference for the
man who has declared in black and
white that "the few engaged in sheep
husbandry" should be willing to accept
ruin for the benefit of the many who
wear clothing.
But as il the idea of wool conven-
ton in New Mexico were not sufficient
ly surprising, the managers even in
vited the Democratic delegate, Antonio
Joseph, to address the convention.
Mr.. Joseph must have felt about as
much embarrassment as might be ex-
pected from II. G. Frick placed for
welcoming speech before a convention
Of union labor. However, Mr.. Joseph
proved a much more clever dodger than
John l.. Sullivan. He fired off some
virtuous Indignation at the business Of
making shoddy out Of dirty rags, and
ardently desired protection" for
American wool against shoddy, but if
he breathed whisper in favor OF pro-
lection for American wool against the
ship-loads of the Australian article that
would be dumped here at about eight
cents pound but for the Republican
party the correspondent failed to catch
