THOSE ALTERED RECORDS.

THOSE ALTERED RECORDS.
 In the alteration of certain records O, the board of public works a crime was committed whose doer should not be al. lowed to go undetected or unpunished. There is no difference of opinion among good citizens about that. But there is room for much difference of opinion con- corning the identity of the guilty one. It does not seem possible that man of MT. Waldron's ability and experience, to say nothing of his reputation for honesty, would have been foolish enough to think that he could benefit by such a clumsy and easily detected device. And nobody of ordinary intelligence and fair moral sense would attempt to fasten 8 false charge upon Mir. Waldron for the purpose of lessen ing the weight of his testimony. It is bad business. There should and will be sus- pension of judgment until there is more light. MT. Waldron is going to defend himself, and he will have abundant sym pathy and help. And it is to be hoped that in the course of the proceedings the truth will appear.
 It will be noted that the counsel for the Big Four got their first information concerning the state of the records from somebody whose name is not yet revealed. We look upon this as an important feature of the case. and we hope that the whole matter will be thoroughly examined and exposed. The way in which the charge was "sprung" didn't add any weight to it.

nickel, was his eaually nositixe sssertion

nickel, was his equally positive assertion.
 q appealed to my friend. She had no. ticed the quarter and said so. The ticket seller was politely positive and refused the second ticket. I refused further money and the train went of without us. We stood in the station and discussed the situ. ation, and once more tried to reason with the man at the ticket window. He was civil, but firm as 8 rock in his insistence that had put down a nickel only and was entitled to only one ticket. We were in. dignant and obstinate, but after two more trains had passed without taking up aboard we were forced to yield, and, producing five cents with the reluctance of the pro. verbal tooth pulling, got the tickets and we came on to New York.
 ''Last Saturday made 6 second visit alone to Brooklyn, to the same neighbor- hood, and when came to the ticket win dow of the station, homeward bound, there was the face of the obdurate fellow who had charged me fifteen cents 6 ticket on my previous trip. As looked at him all my former indignation returned.
 |" Have you found my quarter yetF l could not resist asking sternly. He looked an instant, then his features relaxed.
 T have, madam; you were right. My cash that night showed a surplus of twen- ty cents; here it is,' and he showed two dimes through the window. Satisfaction, though late is sweet"

 The Methodist Protestant conference of Maryland has been agitated over a pro. posal to strike out the word "obey" from the marriage ceremony, in the question: 'wilt thou obey, love, honor and cherish him in sickness and in heslthf" There was an appeal to the members of the con ference to banish this "relic of barbaric age" but in spite of all that could be said against it, it was retained, and henceforth ss before, in the Methodist Protestant church in Maryland, at any rate, brides will be compelled to affirm their prospec- tive obedience to their husbands.
 The amazons of the King of Dshomey are the greenest soldiers in the world. They are made up of three classes of women-stout maidens who are selected by the king, unfaithful wives who are sent into service instead of being executed, and wives who are 30 vixenish that their hus- bands cannot endure them. There are 2,.00 of these female soldiers, and every thing possible is done to inspire them with cruelty. They take the scalps of their dead enemies, and smear the stocks of their muskets with the blood of their vic tims, permitting it to dry in the sun until it is caked into thick layers. The strictest celibacy is enjoined upon them, and any departure from 1t is punishable by death.

IfI Could Know!

If could know; ah, me. if could know
 That for the space Of one brief moment, iu the long ago,
 You gave me place Above all other women in your heart, It would not be so hard from you to part. If could know you hold me dearer yet
 Than any one, And that you nevermore would quite forget
 The bright days gone, Iwould be more content, and courage gain In time, perhaps, to live down all the pain. If could know you feel regret to-day
 To see me turn Away from you and go my weary way,
 Then would learn To find, perhaps some comfort in the thought So full of saddest consolation fraught. If I could know that at some future tide
 We two should meet, And finger for a moment side by side
 In converse sweet, would not dread this parting as do. For hope would trim the light of love for you If could know that when this life is OCT,
 In that bright land Where all is peace, our souls should meet
 once more,
 And understand Each other better than in days gone by, would be more than satisfied to die. -E. c. Longmire in New Orleans Picayune.

The Mexican Way of Doing Business

From the Kansas City Times.l
 A friend of mine, representing big American implement house, went to Du- rango 8 short time ago and then started out to solicit trade. He had lot of sam- ples in Durango and was prepared to do a big business. He worked week and did not get an order. Finally he met young man who had lived several years in Mexi- co and began to abuse the country to him.
 'I know what's the matter with you" said the young man, "you are in too big a hurry. You talk ploughs and reapers to them and you push them too much. Those are two things you must not do-talk about your business and hurry the people. If you will put yourself in my hands for four days i'll sell something for you"
 It was done and the two went together to call on a rich implement-dealer. The travelling man every now and then wanted to talk ploughs, but his friend, who acted as interpreter, talked of everything else. Finally they dined with the old Mexican, | and over bottle of cognac the interpre' | ter casually remarked that his friend rep resented an implement firm, and had loi of samples at Durango. The old man merely answered that he might go owe, and look at them. The implement mar waited three days and would have gone but the friend made him wait the full time. The old merchant went to Durango the next day, and, after looking around little, ordered six carloads. He hardly seemed to care what the price was. ant the implement man was sure that he dit not realize how many ploughs could b, | put in a car He explained, but the olt man simply repeated his order and drev up @ check for the amount on the spot.

Smoke Blossoms.
From the New York Sun

"Did you ever see a smoke blossomI" asked an old smoker. "Well, the way to make them is this: Blow ring in a still atmosphere and then watch it. The smoke making the ring revolves toward the cen ter as you look toward it. While it is floating away part of the ring shoots slowly away from the rest, forming loop. most together the loop seems to burst at its apex and 6 lily shaped blossom appears there. Sometimes this blossom will break up into other small loops and they will produce smaller smoke blossoms, as did the larger one. I can't account for it, but e smoke ring invariably bears these queer blossoms"
