All in Line.

When Mr.. Croker and the 9TH
err leaders OF TamTany Hall say
that the Democratic National
ticket will receive their hearty
support they can be believed.
Mr.. Croker said no more than
his worst enemies will say for him
when he declared II do rot
know what treachery means"
The Tammany leader is a hard
fighter, as the 600 Democrats OPP
posed to the New York delegation
at Chicago found. But he fights
squarely and stops when the mat,
ter is settled. The World has
joined issue with Mr.. Croker
in the past, and unless he shall
make wise and right use OF his
great power it will most likely
oppose him again. But it has
always found him a man of his
word, without subterfuges, and a
hater of double-dealing.
When, therefore, Mr.. Croker
says: we will return home and
give1he ticket a hearty support.
# is good ticket. We were for
Hill, and we will give the nomi-
nees Of this convention the sane
support We gave Senator Hill.
We do not do anything half
hearted. If we are for q man we
are for him. That is tliee way we
do business" the Democrats Of
other States may depend on his
word.-[New York World.

This is the name given to an adver-
Using department in some of the Scotch
newspapers, answering to the Person
al column in. some of our American
journals, says the New York Ledger.
In justice to "Cannie Scotland we
must say that its "Courtship Corners"
are not occupied by notices which are
at all equivocal. The Caledonians in
pursuit of love through. the press seem
to be in search of the legitimate article.
Matrimony appears to be their object,
and characteristic desire for dowry is
most automatically apparent in many
of the advertisements, W R
Some of the announcements are yery
funny. For example, three young
ladies, aged respectively sixteen, nine
teen and tive 1ty-one," announce that
they have set heir hearts on marrying
three special constables." Why special
constables? lr what metaphysical
principle can this prejudice in favor of
tipstaves be explained? Let us hope
they have been taken into custody. "a
Tilted young lady" wishes to unite her
self to "a Tilted young gentlemanr-for
the reason, we suppose, that misery
loves company--and a young lawyer,
high in position" would be willing to
chain himself for life to a young lady
with three hundred pounds year.
Advertising being costly, and the

BLINDNESS IN HORSES.
Entertaining Facts and Theories
Their Singular PEI ccptive Powers.

The way in which blind horses go
about without getting into more diff
culties than they ordinarily do is very
remarkable. They rarely if ever hit
their heads against fence or stone
wall. They will sidle off when they
come near one. A writer in London
journal says;
SIT appears from careful observation
l have made that it is neither shade nor
shelter that warns them of the danger.
On an absolutely sunless and windless
day their behavior is the same. Their
olfactory nerves doubtless become very
sensitive, for when driving them they
will poke their heads downward in
search of water fifty yards before they
come to stream crossing the roadway.
1t cannot be an abnormally developed
sense of hearing which leads them to
do this, for they will act alike though
the water be stagnant pool.
"Men who have been blind for any
great length of time develop somewhat
similar instincts to blind horses. Some
one says that none of the five senses
has anything TO do with TINS singular
perceptive power, but that the impress
sions are made on the skin of the face
and by it transmitted to the brain, and
this 'unrecognized sense he calls 'facia
perception But possibly this percep
tive power may have its origin in sucf
conditions as prevail in somnambulisn
or in the hypnotic state. Are all suci
phenomena in man and horse as l have
mentioned to be accounted for by thu
words facial perception, if they meal
anything? However, speaking of blint
horses, why should they cast their coat
as winter comes on and grow long coat
at the advent of summer and so revers
the order which is the invariable rul
in the case of horses possessed of per
feet vision?"

SIGHTS ON THE SUN.
Marvellous Movements Now In Operation
on the Surface.

Marvellous Movements Now IN Oper"'A""
on the Surface.
The ancients, who believed that the
sun was as smooth and spotless as
rolden mirror, would be unspeakaoly
astonished if they could see it as 1t has
appeared when viewed with telescopes
recently, says the New York Sun. Two
large groups, or rather rows, OF spots'
which are yet visible near the center
of the disk, have exhibited to Won
derful degree the terrific effects OF the
explosive and cyclonic forces that are
now, month by month, gathering great
err energy upon the sun. Holes large
enough to swallow up the earth, with
plenty of room to spare, have been
formed there in the sight of the astroh-
omer; shining bars have been shot
across the dark chasms like bridges OF
fire; the twisted forms of the great
flame-like phenomena, which project
hundreds of miles over the edges OF the
seemingly black and bottomless pits.
have given evidence of the operation OF
a mighty whirling power, and the
puncturing of the white disk with
crowds of comparatively small, black
holes in the neighborhood of the greater
spots has shown that over hundreds OF
thousands of square miles of the solar
surface a tremendous rain of elected
matter is falling back upon the blazing
philosophers.
Yet the changes that these outbursts
are able to effect in the solar light ano
heat bear so small a proportion to the
whole radiative energy of the sun that
it is still an open question whether tho
earth feels them to a perccptible de
gree or not. 1t is only when u SUI
bursts out with such overwhelming
might as was exhibited by the famous
star in Cassiopea in 1872, or by star II
Cygnus in 1876, or by star in andre
media in 1885, that the planets circlinl
around it are swept with fire. There il
no known reason to believe that ou
sun will behave in that manner, at leas
in our time, and so everybody can enjo1
the marvellous spectacle of the sun
spots without apprehension for thei
consequences.
