would not go anywhere without him.
On this occasion the small elephant was
going in front, and when the train came
round the curve Jumbo caught hold of

personally and quietly soliciting the

pretends that he has assisted How

the duty of Republicans to relieve
him of the burthen Of his further

fight and to his benefit that his
nephew shall win. am Democrat,

$500 and Mr.. Stewart none. He
has shown twenty times as much in

as both OF them. Iwant him elected.
There are good many other Demo.
eIats who will vote for him. No
Republican should vote against him
now, not even to please and relieve
his uncle. Grant is our friend all

him at least something still upon

The Grsat TnIip Mania

Soon after the introduction of the tulip
into western Europe boards of trade
providing they had such things in those
days. made tulip bulbs basis of the
widest financial schemes ever known,
engendering a speculative fever which
went down into history as the tulip
mania or tulip craze" The staid Hol-
landers allowed their ''little dixie locked
land" to become the center of this curious
species of speculative frenzy, and for
three years-1644-7-the recklessness
of the dealers and the disastrous results
of the ''nania" can only be compared
with the "South Sea Bubble" When
the craze" was at its height some va
rieties of the bulbs sold for ten, twenty
and even 100 or 500 times their weight
in gold.
A single bulb of the Semper Augustus,
''not much exceeding the bigness of an
onion sette," was sold ON the market for
1000 forins. But this was not all. The
gentleman who purchased it did SO with
the mistaken idea that it was the only
known bulb of the kind in existence, but
no sooner did he register purchase than
another, ''larger somewhat, but not big,
was announced, and the poor victim was
compelled to pay 1900 forms for it or
see it go to another. This he did and
became the owner of two of the highest
priced botanical specimens ever pur-
chased.-St Louis Republic.

He has made it all, and life is. approach

ssNo," he answered with promptness,

Happiness, after the ordinary COM

Great wealth involves immense care. 1t

"Then why this incessant rush after
wealth.
"Bread and butter is the first essential

to labor. Then men work hard that
they may enjoy the surplus fruits of la
Dor. With our standards of living and
the products of civilization little does
not satisfy as a sufficient surplus. The

ACTIVITY has become a habit. They
are accustomed to living faster than any
where else in the world. Many men, too,
are not yet educated to enjoy anything
but the struggle itself. That education,

The colonel and Is partners did NOT
confne themselves to vinegar. They
discovered a mount ain Of pure alum in
the Beaverhead rang =
The discovery was considered a ten
strike and better Il un a gold mine.
They kept the find secret for several
weeks, during which a shaft was sunk
to the depth of 200 fe let. The cut was
made all the way thrc ugh a solid vein
of alum, and it was estimated that the
whole mountain was &C composed of it. A
large pile of stuff was heaped near the
mine ready for shipment, and the miners
had scheme to food the market with
their product and rake in 81 900, 900 at
one fell swoop. Monday the colonel's
partner went to town to lay in a supply
of grub and the former remained behind
to guard the treasure.
During the morning heavy rain be-
gan to fall and continued all day, and in
the afternoon the colonel had occasion
to go down into the mine, making the
descent by sliding down the rope, and
when once down at the bottom was SO
taken up with contemplation of his
novel and wonderful mine that he did
not heed the feeting hours until he hap
pened to cast his eyes upward and saw
that daylight had faded from the mouth
of the shaft. He started to climb up
ward, but had not proceeded more than
half way whep, to his horror, he dicov-
cred that the heavy fall of rain had SO
thoroughly saturated the alum sides of
the shaft that, as natural result, they
had drawn together until the hole was
scarcely largo enough for man to crawl
through.
The imprisoned man recognized his
awful position, and without losing much
time struggled toward the top of the
shaft. Every foot he advanced the
shaft became smaller, and for the last
ten feet he was compelled to dig his
way with d pocketknife, and when he
finally reached the surface he was COM
pletely exhausted, his clothes were torn
and his body badly bruised. The rain,
which was still falling, soon revived the
colonel, and he started toward the camp
to meet his partner, to whom he related
his marvellous experience.
Together they started to their mine,
or at least tried to, for although they
searched for two days they were unable
to find any sight of their late posses
sions. The rain had undoubtedly thor
oughly and tightly closed up the dis
covery Shaft and melted away every
sign of the alum piled on the outside, SO
that to this time it has been impossible
to find any trace of the mine.-0maha

Yucatsa,s Giant "skeeters. .

''The largest mosquitoes in the world
are to be found in Yucatan," said Rich
ard Beverly. Until few years ago
there was not a mosquito in all Mexico.
They We're introduced by vessels from
the United States, and have in the land
of their adoption attained proportions
unknown iir other countries. The low
lands of Yucatan swarm with monster
mosquitoes whose bite is almost as pain
full as the sting of a bee. The historical
Jersey mosquito sinks into insignif-
canoe beside these Titans of their kind,
which are frequently as large as house
flies. In neighborhoods where marshes
abound it is impossible to keep stock of
any kind, and during the rainy season
people wear coarse netting stretched
over face and neck to keep these insects
from devouring them. st. Louis Globe

A Warning TO Farmers Against Invest
Ing In the New Coffee Substitute
SWindIe.

The attention of the farmers is
called to n statement being issued by
G. E. Cole, of Buekner, Mo-, lauding
very highly Coles Domestic Coffee
Berry.
His method of preparation is to
send a sack containing parched
ground material, having the appear
ance Of ground Coffee, and contain
ing few parched seeds; with which
probably most of the farmers are I'M
acquainted. The circular sets forth
in glowing terms the advantages of
this Coffee Substitute, which he
claims twill produce from 40 to 65
bushels per acre; is free from insect
depredations; makes o first-class cot
fee; is better than corn for fattening
hogs; cures rheumatism" and has
other excellent qualities, duly fortl-
fed by long list of published let
tiers of commentator from parties
in different sections of the country.
Mr.. Cole generously offers this
wonderful seed at $3.50 per pound
or $l.OO for enough to plant 500
hills.
Farmers OF the Stale receiving
these circulars are warned that the
wonderful berry is nothing more
than japan Pea or SOFA Hispida; the
seeds ofwhich can be purchased from
various seed dealers for much less
than he offers them, and besides, we
advise the farmers to save their
money, and avoid disappointing
experience. JOHN A. MYERS,
