Corwin Lost Their Votes.


 Tom Corwin was not only a very elo- quent man, but he was the most renowned wit and humorist of his party, just as the late Samuel Sullivan Cox was of his party at later day. Corwin's sense of humor sometimes got him into difficulty, and on at least one occasion lost him votes. He was on a campaign tour, and had stopped for the night at the house of a wealthy farmer, whose wife was as eager to display her book learning as her hospitality. These efforts took the form of big, unusu- al words, which sometimes had ludi- crous Malapropian flavor. She prepared a most excellent and elaborate breakfast for the distinguished orator and his par ty, and then seated herself at the head of the table to do the honors. She poured out a cup of coffee, and then, with a gracious smile, turned to the ora tor and asked:
 "Mr. Corwin, do you take concom;- tant, in your coffeei"
 "Thank you, madam" replied Corwin gravely, 'T will take little sugar and cream, but neither salt nor pepper.n
 He didn't get vote in that family. and scarcely one in the precinct, thou9b both family and precinct were usually Whig.

 A young man entered Market street car the other day, and when the conductor came to collect his fare he handed him ten dollar bili. The conductor, after counting over his money, found that he did not have enough change to give the passenger, and at once stopped the car
 "What does this meanr asked the young man.
 "1t means that you must get off," an- swered the conductor.
 "How dare you insult me, sir. I shall report you to the company"
 ''One of the rules of the company says that conductor is not obliged to furnish more than two dollars in change to any passenger, and if "A larger bill is handed to him and he does not happen to have tine required change the passenger must get off and have the bill changed st some store in the neighborhood and then wait for the next car"
 After a great deal of argument the young man was finally convinced that the conductor was only obeying orders, and alighted from the car with an angry frown on his face, which much amused several of the lady passengers.

Franklin,s Advice and the Result.


 Tho writer had the pleasure some years ago of listening to the following anecdote of Franklin as related by the late Benja- min Russell, editor of the old Columbian Sentinel. MT. Russell said that when he was an apprentice to the printers trade with Robert B. Thomas. at Worcester, Franklin passed through that town on his way to Boston, and called on MT. Thomas at his office. Taking 8 seat and calling the boys around him, he gave them some good advice, and among other things told them if they ever became editors of newspaper to have but one chair in their office.
 The writer subsequently, learned that Mir. Russell, on becoming editor of the Sentinel, acted upon this advice. It so happened that two distinguished persons called on him at one time-one was Louis Philippe and the other the Marxuis de Tal leyrand MT. Russell was somewhat em- barrassed by the situation, but got over it by procuring couple of boxes from an adjoining room and asking his guests to ha saatad

A "Wheelman'' for a Physician.
 From the New York Tlu,esJ


 Unless one happens to be a "wheelwo. man" herself one hardly realizes to what an extent this exercise is now indulged in by women. A stroll in upper Lexington avenue. out on the Boulevard, in Harlem, or over in Prospect park will quickly show how New York and Brooklyn women regard the exercise. Tricycles are rapidly yielding to the growing popularity of the "ladies' safety" bicycle, almost every wo- man now who is buying & new wheel choosing the latter. There is still more or less discussion concerning the healthful- ness or otherwise of the practice for vo- men, but the fact that there are nearly fifty thousand women in the United States who are devoted to it is a weiohty argu- ment in its favor.
 On this point young woman, who is s great traveller on her steel steed, gave re- gently serviceable hint. "If you really want to ride wheel and want to be in dorsed by medical opinion. consult 8 phy sioian who is 8 wheelman. To man such will recommend the exercise for women: the non-riders are not SO certain. This | consider positive proof in its behalf. Only person who has tried wheeling knows its exact tax and the full measure of its benefit"

oceans. All the land will have been
 washed down into the sea, which will then cover all with watsry mantle and render
 impossible any life except that which can
 exist without dry land.
 Chicago is rapid place, but 1t Is as-
 serted that electric propulsion of street
 cars was proposed in St. Louis forty years
 ago by the late Colonel Peter E. Bland,
 who then exhibited motor for the pur-
 pose. The model was all right and capi-
 tai was found to build full-sized motor. The shop in which it was building was
 burned, the motor was destroyed and the people concerned became discouraged and dropped the project. The motor seems to have been run from battery cells and de- pended for its operation on a reversal of the current through magnets by a revolv- ing armature.
 Dr. Robert Fsrquhsrson makes an inter esting plea for moderate drinking in Blackwood. The doctor contends that under the stress and struggle of modern civilization few people beyond middle age are placed under abnormal physiological conditions, and he thinks that little al- cohol helps to round the corners and plane away the asperities of existence. These views are qualified by the warning that alcohol should be taken only with food, and preferably at the principal meal of the day; and the advice is given that it should be taken in the form of weak wines or strong wines diluted. All drinks between meals are condemned emphatically- by the doctor.
 The condition of the fire insurance busi- ness is indicated by the Spectator, of New York, which presents in its last issue a table showing that for the ten years end | ing with January 1, 1892, only twenty-two | of the fifty-one fire insurance companies | doing business in New York State made | any profit at all, while twenty-nine incur red an actual loss on the operations of the | decade. Of tine fifty-one companies twelve | are New York companies, eight of them in New York city, and of these twelve only | three are set down as gaining any profit from the ten years business. Of the com panies of other States doing business in New York there are twenty-one, and ff- :een of these show profit. Of foreign there are eighteen, of which ,nly four show profit. Taking the az yregate of all the companies together, there g a bare eight-hundredths of per cent. ,n the amount of premiums to be set down IS profit upon the whole business.

Didn't Offer Enough.


 Senator Blackburn was out in the Indi- an Territory hunting. He went into Shel- byville, Ky., @ few days ago to tell the boys about it. He said that one of the strangest things to him was the Indians love of whiskey. He said: "You fellows all think that you like a good dram, but you are nothing to an Indian. I'll tell you what happened to me. I was riding along by myself when a great big Indian over took me. He could talk little English and could talk enough Indian to pass 8 few remarks about the weather. He seemed to be such pleasant old fellow that took out my flask and gave him a touch up with some old Kentucky whis- key. We'll, that Indian frightened up like new dollar, and in less than Eve

BOOTH,S FARM COLONY.


 MT. Henry Labouchere is an unusually sharp and competent observer, and there- fore when he speaks we'll of the farm colony scheme of General Booth of the Salvation Army his testimony is weighty. He has just been declaring that he has satisfied himself that the money raised by Booth is being rightly expended. Labouchere recently visited the farm colony near Hadleigh, and found very state of affairs. He says that an enormous work has been accomplished. A complete village has been built up in thirteen months. The colony possesses 300 acres of land under crops, and 1 200 acres of land are being reclaimed from the sea by the dumping of London refuse. Thirty seven acres are devoted to fruit trees. There are 600 chickens, 600 cattle, and large numbers of sheep and pigs. A rabbit warren is a novel and useful part of the stock raising establishment. The colony also has saw mill, brickyard with capacity of 30. 900 per day, a chair factory with daily out put of 500 chairs, and other manufactur- ing plants. According to Mir. Labouchere the "submerged tenth" is working hard and proving that Booth and his supporters did not make mistake in giving it this chance for it's life. Booths theory that little start would encourage saddened and defeated wretches to mak bolder and better movement in life is confirmed by appear ances and by statistics. The report is that men are constantly leaving the colony to accept good situations. "The moral effect upon the benefciaries," reads the &C., count, "seems like physical tonic." In fact, Labouchere considers Booths enter prise s'honest, fruitful and successful"
 This is good news. It is cheering to know that such great work as that un- dertaken by General Booth is so success full. At the start it seemed to many a hopeless and dangerous scheme.

THE HOUSATONIC DEAL.

THE IIOUSATONIC DEAL.
 It is interesting to see those who didn't want the city to accept a good price for its interest in the Derby railroad now com- plaining because that has happened which was sure to happen. The glorious and filling promises made by those who en- gineered the deal by which the city sold it's railroad property at a very low price have not been fulfilled, and now, when they found it would pay them, those lofty minded public benefactors have done just what they said it wouldn't pay the city to do. Perhaps it wouldn't have paid the city as well as it has paid them. but the city would have got much more than they gave it, and good deal of trouble and an- noyance would have been avoided.
 But, however, as they say in the play. What will happen now that the Consoli- dated road has gobbled up the Housatonic remains to be seeu. It is not to be ex- pected that sentimental considerations will be allowed to dominate considerations of business, but we do not expect that the Consolidated road is going to treat New Haven as it's orange, to be squeezed dry. It may even be found that the new arrange ment will be an improvement in many ways and that the travelling public will have reason to be pleased with the change. Perhaps, too, the Consolidated will not immediately proceed to take New Haven business men by the throat and shake the last cent out of their pockets for freight charges. If it does. and if the profits of the operation are too large, there will be a new parallel scheme started to enrich the lobbyists and, if worth it, to fall into the hands of the old road.
 It will be well to wait awhile before being scared by the new deal. Of course it is not good thing to be in the power of big corporation if it has bad disposi- tion, but if it hasn't it may be a good thing.

How Senator Evarls Has Kepr
 Young.

ltrom the Chicago Herald
 From Senator Morrilrs I went to the house of Senator Evsrts, and I found here another spry statesman of three score years and ten who decidedly object ed to being called old. Said MT. Evarts as he walked with diguifed tread into the library:
 ''I really do not feel fitted to express an opinion upon the secrets of longevity, and you should call upon Mir. Morrill, for such an expression. He has lived a number of years more than I, and should be consid- cred the sage of the senate"
 "But, senator" said I, s'you have lived three score years and ten, and would like to get the advice of such hard work ing. young-old men as you are for the youth of to-day as to how they may lengthen their days"
 "Well," ," replied the senior senator from New York, as a smile crept over his lips and stretched itself down to his shirt col lar and gradually travelled up to his twink ling eyes, "the only way know for young men to lengthen their days is to steal some hours from the night"
 laughed and the senator went on to say that he considered his health due largely to good constitution and a mode rate degree of prudence in his living, add ed to good luck

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The $4,000
accepted by this government from
Chile in settlement of all damages III
the Baltimore riots in Valparaiso are
now in the United States treasury to
the credit of the secretary of the navy.
but Judging from present indications a
long time will elapse before any part or
the sum is drawn out for the purpose
of distribution among the clalmant5.
This probable delay is mainly due to
the opinion of several of the govern
ment's legal advisers that neither the
secretary of the navy nor any other
federal official has sufficient authority
to disburse the fund in way that
would fully protect the government
from the demands of such of the claim
ants as might he dissatisfied with their
allotment.
Secretary Tracy has expressed grave
doubts on this subject himself, and
therefore heSitateS to assume the re-
sponsibllty naturally placed on him.
1t was at first thought he would appoint
board of naval officers to consider all
the claims on file in connection with
the Baltimore affair, and to report
plan for an equitable pro rata distribu-
ton of the fund. A discussion OF such
a course developed all sorts of possible
legal complications and technicalities.
with the result that it has been tenn
porarily abandoned, and the secretary
has practically concluded to ask the
president to refer the matter to congress
with a view to the enactment OF special
legislation which will insure the dis
tributon of the award in proper legal
form, and at the same time reduce the
prospects of future litigation III regard
thereto to minimum. There are said
to be no precedent5 to guide the navy
department in this matter.

IT is NOT TRUE.
And the Exact State Of Thi ngs
Should Be Known.
We Wish Here and Now to Set
Right a Very False Matter.
We Have the Proof and Evidence at
Hand to Perfectly Settle All Doubt.

False notions sometimes become deep
ly rooted.
There is an extremely false idea
prevalent among the people that inner
ited consumption or all inherited weak
and delicate condition is necessarily
sure at some time to prove fatal.
This is decidedly and emphatically
wrong. and leads to fears and appre-
tensions upon the part OF persons who
thus inherit weakness of the lungs,
tendency to cough, catarrh, or brOn-
chial irritation, or Il feeble, delicate or
debilitated constitution.
Of course if Snch weak condition of
the lungs or enfeebled state of the body
is neglected, consumption and prema-
ture death will almost surely result.
But by observing proper care and max
ing use of tie proper means, al danger
can be averted and good health and
strength maintained.
In proof of this now well established
fact we have known many affected peO-
pie, or those having naturally weak aud
delicate constitutions, to continue i'll
sound health by keeping the blood good,
the nerves strong and tie digestion per-
feet by using that great health and
strength giver, DR.. Greene'S Nervura
blood and nerve remedy.
Many such cases are constantly occur
ring. but we Will here cite only one, a
most wonderful restoration from inner
tied consumption, which came under
our personal observation. This lady,
Mrs. Addie l. Cragg, of l0I North Port
land avenue, Brooklyn, y. Y. stated
the facts to us personally, and Wa will
