French, Hebrew aud Arabic, as an organ
of the new colonization movement.

Things don't always work as you intend
to have them. A Biddeford (Maine) man
devised scheme for catching trout by the
wholesale. He thought that bomb e1.
ploded in the brook would bring all the fish
in 1t to the surface, so that he would only
have to pick them up. He provided him
self with a bomb powerful enough to blast
q schooner out of water and went to a local
brook in which there were said to be lots
of trout. He fixed the fuse, ignited it and
threw the bomb into the brook. As he did
go bis dog jumped in after it, seized 1t In
his mouth, got back to shore, and started
after his master, who was Logging it across
the field as fast as he could in the realiza-
tion of his danger. The man had the good
luck to get over a fence, which bothered
the dog, and a moment later, hearing an
explosion, he looked around to see his dog
going skyward. Real fishermen will be
tempted to be sorry that the man didn't
share the fate of the dog.
Judge Blodgett of Massachusetts, has
written letter in which he declares that
he does not believe in the guilt of two con-
victs at the Charlestowr State prison, who
were sentenced by him to eight years i'm
prisonment in 1890 for robbing Somer-
Vile Chinaman. He says in this letter,
which is addressed to Thomas Neville, one
of the two prisoners: "In your case, 1 do
not hesitate to say that upon the evidence
at the trial should have found both you
and Nowlin not guilty; but you mnst sd-
NIT that there was evidence which justified
the jury in convicting, If they believed it.
The jury did believe 1t, and while should
have been better satisfied with verdict of
not guilty, could not merely for that rea-
son set aside the verdict without violating
the oath which 1 took when 1 became a
judge" Since the imprisonment of these
two men another convict has confessed his
own guilt in the robbery of the Chinsman,
while Neville has continually proclaimed
his personal innocence.
A Frenchman of an inquiring turn of
mind has been making experiments with
some of the matches which the govern
ment, which enjoys monopoly of the
manufacture of these articles, is good
enough to distribute among the citiz-ns of
the republic for the trifiing consideration
of sous per box of 500. He knew the
goods were bad, but was rather astonished
by the result of his investigations. In the
first place he found that his box, instead of
500 matches as guaranteed, only
contained 430, of which "a were destitute
of phosphorus or SO broken as to be use
lees. He thus apparently had 1886 service
able matches left, but when he came to
test them by striking, he found that only
173 of them were capable OF producing
fire at all, and of these 107 went out after
an Intellectual eplutter. Sixty six matches
we're lighted and burned to the end, but Is
of these were subject to little explosions
which threw sparks upon the hand or
clothing of the Investigator. As a matter
of fact, only one tenth of the matches
were what they pretended to be-a delight

He replied quite simply: 4 am like th<t.'
Admirable words, whose philosophic
depth have only lesrned to fathom after
many years. Then I bethought myself
that If by writing amusing works one

merry is to write grave volumes. This
did and grew joyous, which proves that
the world is admirably fashioned"

Looking ahead to another presidential
contest and to the eternal struggle be-
tween parties in this country, one can
see that that party is likely to triumph
which gets on the right side of some
great moral question. Slavery was made
a moral question, and, irrespective Of in
dustrial considerations or social, slavery
was abolished because the dominant sec
ton Of the country believed 1t was
wrong. Ultimately the tariff question
will have to be settled on the same basis.

Lafayette street, this city. Petrillo won
money from him repeatedly before
Demeo realized that he was being
swindled. Demco engaged gambler
from New York to play monte with
