,ould have happened for the Democratic

could have happened for the Democratic
party.
Representative Bland (Dem.), of Mis-
souri,, said he supposed it means war be-
tween HARRISON Blaine and others.
The resignation puts Mr.. Blaine in the
attitude of opposition to the nomination
of President Harrison.
Representative Rockwell (Dem.), of
New York, said that the programme for
the last ten days had been that Blaine
should be kept out of the race up to this
point, and that programme had been
made with his assent and his assistance.
He did not think that either Blaine or
Harrison could be nominated. MIR.
Blaine felt that he had not been treated
right by the president; and besides there
was known to be a social feud between
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Blaine that must
nave its effect on the secretary.
Representative Wilcox (Dem.), of
COnnecticut-He did not think Mr..
Blaine was as strong candidate as
Harrison. Blaine'S course in declining
to be candidate in Il written letter and
now resigning for the purpose OF stand
ing for the nomination would be certain
to give serious Offense to Mr.. Harrison
and his friends and also to some of Mr..
Blaine's former friends who had COM
mitted themselves to other candidates
after the publication of his letter.
Mr.. Bryan (Dem.), of Nebraska,
thought the Blaine and Harrison forces
cOdld fight it out i'll the convention, and
which ever was nominated, his chances
of election would have been weakened.
Mr.. Cummings (Dem.), of New York
1t settles the question. 1t means
Blaine'S nomination at Minneapolis and
the liyeliest kind OF campaign.
MIR. Ehloe (Dem.). of Tennessee
Mr.. Blaine is carrying diplomacy to a
point which in our section of the coun-
try would be called square lying.
Mr.. Watson (FarmeI'S Alliance), of
Georgia, said that as the Syracuse con-
vention had split the Democratic party
into factions. so would Biaine'S action
result in a disSension among the Repub-
licanS. Then would be the opportunity
of the third party; and it would take
advantage of it and the wedge would be
inserted.
Nearly all of the Democrats were of
one mind on the point at least, and that
was expressed by the speaker, who said
that the resignation meant war to the
knife between the administration and
the anti-adminiStration factions.

Brazilian Rat Killera.

A 'globe trotter" recently returned home from an extended tour through foreign countries says: ''In all my trav- els there was nothing that interested me more than peculiar custom prev alent in Brazil. In that tropical coun- try rats are very troublesome, and to rid their houses of the pests the inhab- itants resort to peculiar method. The giboia, small species of boa, is reared expressly for the purpose. and the ser pents, many of them fifteen feet in length and about five inches thick, are sold in the markets of the principal towns. The snake is harmless and slow of movement during the day, but at night, when the household is deep in slumber. the eXterminator gets in his work. His method of killing a rat is to catch it by the nape of the neck and crush the cervical vertebra. The ser pent, like dog in this country, soon becomes accustomed to it's masters house, and if carried away to distance will find it's way back"

A Chinaman's Impressions of Christian
 EIaCnerss

A Chinamans Impressions of Christian
 Manners
 Our free and easy way of courting is puzzling to our Celestial brethren. Yuan Hsing-fo recently wrote in ''Tcm- pie Bar' some of his impressions of English and American methods of wooing.
 Besides invitations to dinner" he writes, "there are invitations to tea parties, such as are occasionally given by wealthy merchants or distinguished officials. When the time comes an equal number of men and women assemble, and tea, sugar, milk, bread and the like are set out as aids to conversation. More particularly are these invitations to skip and posture when the host de- cides what man is to be the partner of what woman, and what woman of what man.
 ''Then, with both arms grasping each other, they leave the table in pairs, and leap, skip, posture and prance for their mutual qualification. A man and woman previously unknown to one another may take part in it. They call this skipping 'tanshen' (dancing)."
 Another Chinese writer in a Chinese illustrated paper, the ''Hiva Pao," tries to explain this same curious proceeding
 "Western etiquette requires, :" he says, 'the man in search of wife to write to the girls home and agree upon some time and place for q skipping match. The day arrives, youth in red and maid in green, they come in pairs to the bril- liant, spacious hall, where, to the emu lous sound of flute and drum, the youth clasping the maiden's waist and the maid resting upon her partners shoul- der, one pair will skip forward, another prance backward round and round the room until they are forced to stop for want of breath.
 After this they will become cc- quainted, and then, by occasional at tentions over . bottle of wine or ex- change of confidence at the tea table, their intimacy will deepen. the maiden's heart become filled with love, and they will lS ate"

HE OUNCE ALL RleHT.
Time Brings Compensation to the Youth
 Who Was at the Foot of the Class.

Time Brings Compensation to the Youth
 Who Was at the Foot of the Glass.
 When the luckiess West Point cadet who brought up the rear of the gradu- ating class appeared before Secretary Proctor for his diploma that dignitary first disconcerted him with fixed and strong gaze, then treasured him with the kindly remark:
 Well, young gentleman, the officer who holds the left of the line has some times great opportunities.
 The man who holds the last place in the graduating class to-day is general object of commiseration, says the Chi cago Mail. At him the shafts Of wit are leveled, and the scornful glances of the faculty directed. Not for him is the glory of pronouncing impassioned eulogies upon the great men Of the past The hackneyed pathos of the valedic- tory, and the labored joyousness of the salutatory, do not engage his sluggish and uninspired pen.
 While the shining class have been in dustriously cribbing the great thoughts of great authors for incorporation in their own genius-born orations, he has, perchance, been inventing new and inn proved methods of applying the sur reptitious pony to the passage of eX- aminations, or making typographical surveys of the college town for the means of discovering line of retreat to the railway station uninfasted with creditors, and free from the presence of diseased college windows. Commence ment week is very sorry time for the ''tail-enders."
 But somehow, after describing the classic precincts of alma mater, he is surprised to discover that not only does the needless world know not that he Jagged superfiuous at class end, but that nobody cares whether he ever saw 8 college at all. This is a surprise to him, but veritable shock to the vale dictorians, ''honor men," and other shining lights of the college, who eX- pect to be greeted with effusion by a world. eager for oratory and crying loud for prize poems in Alexandrine meter.
 Here is where the dunce finds his ad- vantage. Encouraged by the fact that no one seems to care about his college record he braces up. The honor man " on the contrary, disgustcd by the lack of appreciation of the vulgar world, loses heart. The results that the com mencement day question: What is to become of the dunces who bring up the rear?'' is replaced in class reunions twenty-five years later by the surprised inquiry: What the dickens became of the valedictorian?" Life and time bring their compensations as surely as the night brings out the stars.

HE KNEW HIS FATE.
A Gambler Who Iieid tho Fatal Eand of |
 5acks Hull cl Bel Sevens.

\ |
 was watching 9 game of poker once at Helena, Montana, says a writer in the Chicago Herald. The players were a gambler whom I knew slightly an6 who bore the sobriquet Of Lucky Bill and two miners. Suddenly, after the cards were dealt and tue players had ''chipped in" and drawn cards, Lucky Bill, with perfect calinness and not so much as shadow of change in the expression of his face. laid the cards ou the table, took Q note book from his pocket and deliberately wrote few words. Then he tore out the leaf and handed it to nc.
 Look at that when you get home to- night"
 His voice was steady, ard did not be- tray particle of excitement. I thrust the paper aimlessly into my pocket, and gave the matter hardly 8 second thought.
 The play progressed. Lucky Bills face was unyielding as a stone and en- tirely inexpensive. He noticed every thing, however, and his vigilaEt eye did AOG I14oo I1AO 4ACoO AA4ONC OAA Sl-~ l'saA U of the other players. He was typical gambler, and one of the most success ful of his guild. Hence the scbriquet.
 At last there was an altercation be- tween the two miners. Hot words en- sued and revolvers were drawn. Some of the bystanders interfcrcd at this point, and in the struggle that followed 1 heard the sharp whistle and sping of a bullet. Lucky Bill, his good star in the descendant, fell to the ground and expired without a groan. He had been killed by the accidental discharge of pistol in the hands of one of the miners.
 was mortified at the occurrence, and that evening, after reached home, l thought of the line the gambler had written me. took it from ny pocket and read as follows:
 1T have drawn a pair of sevens. 1 now hold jacks full on red sevens. It is fatal hand. No one ever yet held it and left the card table alive. I shall die. I have six thousand dollars in the First national bank Of Bismarck. No tify my mother, Mrs. -, of Franklin, Ky.'
