Springer Wants Palmer.

WAsHINaToN, Feb. 25.-The presl-
DENTAL question still continues the
topic OF discu sion at the national
capital, and various opinions are ex-
pressed as to thu effect the flnal
declaration Of the Albany conven-
ton for Hill will have. Chairman
Springer, Of the ways and means
committee, who has generally been
considered heretofore an ardeut sup
porter of Cleveland, thinks now
that the action of the Albany con
vention practically rules the ex presi-
dent out of the race. In an inter-
view yesterday Springer said: at
would be folly for the other states
TO insist upon Cleveland's nomina-
tlon when his own state had unani-
mously declared for another, IL
Cleveland's name IL 10 be presented
to the national Democratic conven-
tion II must be presented by his own
state" Springer further said that
Ia view OF the dlssensions In New
York II may be found necessary for
the Democracy of other states to
select presidential candidate else
where. In this event the Democracy
will undoubtedly present the name
OF John M, Palmer.

ASLEEP OVER A YEAR.
A Girl Who has Not Opened Her
Eyes for Eighteen Months.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb, PA most
remarkable case of a long sleep
exists here in the state insane asy-
lum. She was seen, and the author
tiles say she has been sleeping for
year and a half. Her emaciated
hands were folded in her lap and
her face bad the death-like pallor Of
corpse, which was heightened by
her straight black hair, brushed
traight back from her forehead.
Her eyes were closed, aud only the
regular heaving of her breast indi-
Gated she was aliye, Her name If
Pendergrast, aud she has been an
inmate of the asylum f)r mum
ber o. years.
About year and a half ago she
showed signs Of dFowsiness, from
which she s)On settled into a sound
sleep, and it was impossible to
awaken her. Her eye-lds can be
opened by force, when her big black
eyes stare into space with no gleam
Of intelligence IN them, and sound
rap ON the head or the keen point of
a pin makes no impression what
ever. Milk is her only food, of
which she is given about three
quarts daily by means Of tube in
her nose.
The sleeper sits In a rocking chair
in one of the corridors during the
lay, as oblivicus Of her surround
'ngs az though in her allotted 6 feet
IF earth, and at nights she is carried
to her led near by. Tue doctors
cannot explain the case.

nitiee Of presbytery OF New York
on church extension and sustenta-
tlon. Nearly all the members Of the
committee to the number Of 100 or
more were present. Mr.. Gould re-
oelved the guests with his daughter
At the entrance to the drawing room
and his three SONS, Edwin, George
and Howard, assisted in entertain
ing them. The purpose of the re-
ception, as was explained during the
course Of the evening, was to raise
money to aid the work Of the church
extension, and 1t was at the request
Of the committee that the meetinR
was held I'm Mr.. Gould's house.
When the guests had all arrived, at
about 8 O'Clock, the Rev. DIR. John
r. Paxton, whose church Mr. Gould
attends, took the floor and made u
short speech In Mr.. Gould's name.
Mr.. Gould's modesty, he said, pre-
vented him from speaking for him
self so, as his minister, Mr.. Pax
ton welcomed them, Mr.. Gould
had told BIN that after many
years delIberatlon he had become
convinced that the Presbyterian
church was the best and truest re-
ligious organization 10 this country
aud that, It's work Of church extern
sion was the wisest and most hope
full for humanity. The Rev. Dr.
George Alexander then spoke, and
among other things said: "I have
been strictly enjoined to speak Of
nothing else but money. You are
all rich men here, and we want
money from you, but we don't as
sumo suppliant attitude. We need
money, but not half so much as
you need togive It," DR.. Alexander
went on to talk Of the great power OF
money as energy stored up for
ready use. Many men, however, he
said, get so carried away by the
pursuit of wealth and get the habit
so fastened on them as TO lose sight
of the higher duty of dispensing the
money they Acquire. After speak
ing for some minutes in that strain,
he turne to Mr.. Gould and the
other guests and said: J hope
have not spoken in such way as to
give offense to any Of the guests or
to our host, Mr.. Gould" AT the
close Of DIR. Aexander's speech DR..
Van Orden announced that subscrip'
tIon cards would be distributed, and
he hoped they would be filed out
literally. As an incentive, he said,
he would announced that he had
already received four subscriptions
of $500, 500, $1,000 and $2500, one
of which, he said, was opposite
the name of Miss Gould. A few
minutes afCer the cards had been
passed ar ,un1 DIR. Van Orden took
the floor egaln to announce that a
number OF $1,000 subscriptions had
been handed into him, and that
the host, Mr.. @ )uld, had subscribed
$4,000. This announcement was
greeted with prolonged applause.
Supper was served after the meeting
Many of those pI esant took the sub

History of an African Boat.

A little vessel having remarkable
history has piled for years on Lake Tan
ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog
ress in that region from slavery toward
civilization. The boat, known as the
Calabash, was originally huge tree
trunk, cut down by the axes of the ma
tives with enormous labor, and then
with ak and adj and fire nodded into
shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex-
cellent sea vessels, though in their lines
they suggest rather a clumsy hippopota-
mus than a swan.
On one of her voyages, after she had
served as trading canoe for two years,
she entered the port of Uiiji, where she
was bought by an Mswahili slave trader.
For three years she piled back and forth
across the lake, bringing cargoes Of
wretched men, women and children to
the Ujiji slave market. One day loaG
of slaves had jnst been landed on the
shore when Mr.. Hore, who had recently
come to Ujiji as an agent of the London
Missionary society, saw the little craft
and decided that she was just about
what he needed for exploratory voyages
around the lake.
He succeeded in purchasing her, and
the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. Consecrated to the
cause of peace she became known in
time to every tribe as the harbinger OF
good will.-Chicago Post.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-25
About Flies.

One of the most aggravating things to
person of good sense is the method which
people employ in dealing with flies. They
are useful scavengers, and if they would
limit their inroads to places where they are
needed they would do good service. I'm
fortunately, however, when they once come
in force they often pervade the most cleanly
homes One of the most successful meth
ods in dealing with flies is to hang up some
herb or plant which is offensive to them
and not offensive to the residents of the
house.
Sweet clover. which grows plentifully by
the roadside and has faint, pleasant odor,
unobjectionablet to any one not afflicted with
hay fever has the reputation of being alb
horred by flies. A few sprays of this plant
hung in the parlor, Or a cluster of the
sweet, white, tassel-like heads as bouquet
on the center table, will do more work in
ridding the room of flies than dozen fly
traps.
There is considerable doubt whether any
trap which contains molasses, sugar or any
such material does not draw in more flies
than it kills, besides being disgusting
and uncleanly way of meeting this nui-
sance.-Ohio Farmer.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-25
Risks of the Railway Postal Service.

The demand of the postal clerks that
their mail cars be placed in safer part OF
the train than next to the locomotive is
very reasonable. always get on a car
near the center OF q train, and although
have been in several accidents | have never
been scratched. The unfortunate mail
clerk, however, has not this opportunity
of protecting himself, and, as the result.
every time there is head end collision or
a locomotive jumps the track the list of
killed and injured is always headed by one
or more mail clerks, il the train carried
mail at all.
1t is perhaps impossible to make up
trains invariably with baggage or express
cars next the locomotive, and even if it
were that would be only transferring a
grievance from one class of employees to
another, but it would save the companies
money in the long run if they would run
sine, and let them bear the brunt of the
shock when two trains try to occupy the
same space at the same moment.
The patent offices of this and other coun-
tries are full of models of rubber protected
and other cars designed for this purpose,
and although most of these are too COM
plicated, costly and cumbrous to be used
generally, some of them would answer the
purpose well, and not put the companies
to unreasonable expense. Public opinion
may one day become strong enough to COM
pei their adoption for the purpose of saving
life-St Louis Globe Democrat.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-25
Pessimism of the Day.

suppose that the philosophical attitudes
which we call optimism and pessimism are
generally less the result of mental convic-
tion than of individual temperament. They
are moods, not systems Life in itself is
iridescent with pleasure and pain-to one
the richer hues, the lurking purples and
leaping crimsons alone are visible another
is spiritually color blind, and can see only
the browns and drabs, the dusky shadows
and more somber depths of existence. Per
sonality is selective force, choosing from
the vast mass of what is, by some subtle
magnetism, just those elements which are
most akin to its own nature.
For all who attract pleasure life is a
triumph; for the rest pilgrimage. This,
no doubt, has been universal law, no less
true when the world seemed vanity to the
author of Ecclesiastes than it is now.
Yet it will hardly be denied that, for
whatever cause, pessimism is in an es-
pecial degree characteristic of our own
time and our own stage of Development
Westminster Review.
