A Swedenborg Story.

A respectable man in Stockholm
bought an estate of another, paid
for It and received an acknowledg-
ment. The purchaser died soon
after, and not long afterward the
seller demanded payment OF the
widow, threatening that non-com-
pliance would cause him to take
possession again. The widow was
terrified, for she knew her husband
had paid, but after making most
minute search she was unable to
find proof anywhere. AS the de-
ceased had been on kindly terms
With the Russian Embassador she
had recourse to him, who, being
we'll aware what assistance Sweden
borg had offered in such cases,
promised the widow that he would
talk over the case With him.
Some days after Swedenborg
came to the ambassador and bade
him tell the widow that on certain
night her husband would appear to
her and give her direct information
phere the receipt was secreted. This

Transplanting Dogskin.

A New York dispatch says Mrs.
Minnie Emma Wick, a laundress
whose scalp was torn from her
head by machinery at which she
was working on December "a, 1890,
had a sixth skin-drafting operation
performed upon her by the Belle
vuey Hospital surgeons on Thurs
day. In the preceding five opera
ations the skin was used from the
legs and arms of her husband and
her friends, but they were only par
tally successful, and q raw spot at
the top and back Of the head six by
nine inches in size resisted all at
tempts at covering.
In Thursday g operation patch
of-skin taken from a healthy black
and-tan dog was used, and the sur
geons have great hopes that the
graft will be successful.
Mrs. Wick is resting easily and
has but little pain. Both the dog
and the patient were put under the
influence of ether, and the dog was
killed as soon as the skin was
shaven and removed. If the oper-
alton is successful Mrs. Wick will
have to wear wig, for the dogs
hair will grow as before.

Capital and Labor.

Are you bright enough to tell the
editor of this paper, says The Road
where the unholy conflict between
capital and labor is going to end?
We have an opinion, as a matter
Of course, but our opinion never
caused the moon or stars to alter
their plans. However, it does some
times occur to US that capital will
keep right on buying class legisla-
ton for themselves, while labor
keeps right on organizing in order
to protect itself. Bye and bye the
people-the great middle people
will begin to grow tired of hiring
out as Pinkertons to shoot down
their fellow man, bye and bye the
people will grow tired of joining
the militia to do the bidding of
corporations at the expense Of the
people. Bye and bye the people
will tire of standing the taxes that
sustain State executive and judi
cial department that exist to push
the bayonet against the breast of
outraged labor, or to pronounce
treason upon them for trying, in
this beautiful land Of the free, to
protect home and babies.
Bye and bye the people will wake
up. There are now signs of that
awakening. The distant rumblings
of discontent are echoing back from
Homestead and the convict miners
in Tennessee. Bye and bye the
right sort of breeze is going to
get fair swing at the flame, then
LOOK OUT !! oh ye! who find fault
with those who fight on the side of
the under dog
When that time comes organized
capital and organized labor will
take q back seat, and peace will
prevail.

Where Powderly Stands,

The old political parties have
both undertaken to place Mr.. Pow
derly in an equivocal position SO
as to mislead the labor organiza-
tions. Much valuable space has
been devoted to do this, only. to be
dashed to the ground by the follow
ing concluding paragraph in his
last weekly letter to the Journal OF
the Knights of Laber. Mr.. Pow
derly says:
Now, let US suppose case and
ask for advice. Ifinstead of electing
the President of the United States
through the electoral college we de-
eide the contest by popular vote,
and the man who had the greatest
number of votes would be elected,
AMI if Harrison had one million
votes, Cleveland one million votes,
and Weaver one million votes,
none of them would be elected.
Suppose that T had not yet voted
and that no one else could vote
after me, my vote would decide
the issue, would it not? Now,
the advice that I ask for is, which
of the three should l vote for? |
will venture the assertion that a
million workingmen in this United
States would make ready to march
to Scranton to hang me for being q
traitor if did not vote for Weaver.
They would be right. / would be
traitor, and l Ireally believe that l
should be hanged for not voting
for him. l quite agree with the
million who would hang me for
treason, and they should not refuse
to agree with me when l say that
each workingman who will not vote
for him should be regarded in the
same light. Coming as close as
one vote is what would cause the
million to make ready to hang me,
and it is only fair to presume that
among the million there would be
some hundreds of thousands, more
or less, who did not vote for him
themselves. The thought that each
vote is required to foot up the
grand total does not seem to weigh
before election. Fear Of the other
fellow" should not influe nee us, for,
no matter which of the two old
parties win, we will lose. Without
waiting to know how the other mill
lions intend to vote, have resolved
to give mine to Gen. James B..
Weaver, and in doing so will be
acting consistently with the IN
structions given me by the General
Assembly, which directed me to as
sist in framing a a"political platform
to which we may give our support
at the polls"

Indians in q Big Hotel.

Grim old Chief Standing Bear OF
the Sioux, Black Eagle, Lost Horse
and the rest of them had some ex-
perience on their arrival at San
Francisco that made them more
stoical than ever. AS they stepped
into the Baldwin Tuesday night,
feathers awry and vermilion on
their faces, they were at once con-
Quoted to the elevator, as Clerk
Hardenburg had assigned them to
rooms on the fourth floor. The
elevator door slammed, and the lift
proceeded to get in its work. Then
it was that the eyes Of every indi-
vidual Indian started from their
sockets. The savagcs gave some
big gasps and held their hands over
their belts. Not a groan escaped
them, but it was plain to a News
letter man that they were as near
surprised as Indians could be.
Chadun, 80 miles from Pine Ridge.
having been the biggest town they
had been familiar with, the eleva-
tor system was new to them, and
they let it be known that they were
not positive as to the safety of the
"house which went up and down
in the air." the first they had seen.
When the chieftains got ready to
go to bed they examined the mat
tresses and pillows critically, and
finally concluded that it was ut
terly impossible to sleep upon
them. So, after throwing open
every window till the night breezes
played about Ikea whirlwind, they
dismantled completely the bed
steads, stacked up the mattresses,
pillows and coyerlets against the
walls, and then, wrapping them
selves only in the blankets, retired
on the floor to be comfortable.
Next morning when they went
in to breakfast the walters showed
them the bills of fare. Each war
rior scanned his carefully and
seemed to be lost in thought. "Give
US plenty meat, coffee, Bread" at
last said old Standing Bear. "These
make Indian fat. He wants moth
ing else." Plenty of each was
brought, and the red man, discard
ing knives and forks, sailed in with
their fingers.
The programme has been pretty
much the same ever since. A book
could be written about Standing
Bear. Only allusion have thus far
been made to him in any Of the
dailies. Properly speaking he is
not Sioux, but Northern Chey-
enne. With Crazy Horse, Hunting
Hog and Old Chief Gall he has
been at the head Of nearly all the
notable Indian wars for 20 years.
He routed the Pawnees and once
killed ten white men in a lonesome
canyon single-handed. On another
occasion he defied and defeated
alone 80 cavalrymen. It was
Standing Bear who, under Sitting
Bull, routed the United States
forces when Custer died on the Lit
tie Big Horn.

A Smart Yankee Skipper.

A writer in the Nautical Maga-
zine tells q story Of how Yankee
skipper contrived to free his ship
from rats. While he lay in port he
discovered that one of the British
ships then in the harbor had among
her cargo great quantity of cheese.
He therefore found an excuse for
hauling over to her and inooring
his own packet alongside, The next
step was to procure q plank, smear
it we'll with an sodoriferous prepa-
ton OF red herrings, and place it SO
as to lead through one of the ports
on board the Englishman. The
immediate result was q wholesale
emigration Of the rats from the
American ships hold to the cheese
laden vessel alongside. Chambers

A Modern Hercules.

"Perhaps the most remarkable
man, physically, the country ever
produced was Jack Holsak, fiat
boatman well-known on the Ohio
thirty-fve or forty years ago." said
Thomas G. Jamison, who was dis
cussing Americas new champion
slogger in the Lindell corridors.
"Jack stood six feet six inches
without shoes, and weighed $50
pounds. He was muscled like a
Hercules, and used to boast that he
was the strongest animal of his
weight in the Ohio valley. He was
a simple-hearted, good-natured fell
low who would not hurt fly. The
stories told of his feats of physical
strength resemble the miraculous
performances Of Samson. Like the
story of the :.three black crows" "
they probably gained something by
repetition, but it is pretty hard to
say what is impossible to 25O

where man-eating tiger was on
exhibition, and after listening to
the descriptions of its strength and
ferocity given by the animal lectur-
er offered to enter the cage stark
naked and whip the tiger out of its
boots for gallon jug of whisky
AS the proposition was made at
the top of his stentor-like lungs, be-
fore tent full of people, the circus
manager couldn't we'll decline. 1t
was arranged that the gladiator act
should take place after the night
performance, the women and chill
dren being dismissed. Jack, half
drunk and as naked as a Greek
god, bounced into the cage and
grabbed the royal beast of Bengal
by the back of the neck and slap
ped it on the side of the head. It
emitted an ugly growl. and Jack
slammed it up against the side of
the cage with q violence that bent
the heavy iron bars. Instead of
proceeding to make a meal of the
intruder, the man-eater covered
down in the corner of its cage.
Jack grabbed it by the tail, dragged
it around the cage, aud then, to the
horror Of the spectators, threw open
the. door, pulled it out into the cir
Gus ring and rolled it in the saw

reared in cage and fed on cold po-
tatoes and stale meat is very diff
ferent brute from one reared in an
Asiatic jungle; still, l hardly think
any of the distinguished pugilists
now posing before the public would
care to tackle even a circus tiger"

Tipping Among English Women.

A sharp and probably a salutary
shock has been given to the high
social circles of England, by the
startling exposure in regard to the
prevalence of drunkenness among
aristocratic ladies, made by Lady
Frederick Cavendish and the Ouch
ess of Bedford at the church con-
gress. Lady Frederick Cavendish
said she had been recently staying
at country mansion where roomy
dinning-room chairs were still used,
the seats of which were deeply
curved to keep gentlemen from fall
ing out after dinner that, although
heavy drinking had been abandon
ed by men, women were becoming
inveterate tipplers. Many ladies
have recourse to "pick-me-ups, ,"and
II A. NJ. brandy and soda during
the day, wine at dinner and
something hot at bed time. She
knew young lady who could not
get through the London season
without taking cordial" kept
handy at tea, and after q certain
morning concert lady beside her
had called for a "whitecup," de-
ceptiye name for a champaign cup.
Lady Cavendish protested espec-
tally against the new fashion of
young ladies, and old ones, too, ac-
companying gentlemen to the smok-
ing-room after dinner and sharing
not only cigars, but also, spirits.
She said a distinguished physician
had assured her that many ladies
living idle lives consulted him for
nervous symptoms, which revealed
a condition Of alcoholism bordering
OH delerium tremens. But alcohol
was not the only fashionable fail
ing, as chloral, chlorodyne and
morphia were taken in the secrecy
of boudoirs and were adding to the
maladies of modern life.
The Duchess of Bedford, taking
up the theme, put the blame for
these evils on the straining of nerve
power through the supposed exi-
gent demands of society until the
nerves required FLIP. The argu-
ment of necessity Of stimulation,
she said, afforded but the very
slightest protection against tempta-
ton. The real remedies were the
avoidance of mischievous forms OF
excitement, together with total alb
stinence. The Duchess maintained
that moderation" was very elas-
tic term and would not meet the
evil. 1t was a serious thing, she
said, for Christian workers pledged
to fight the drinking practices OF
society to reject the practice of alb
stinence, and she besought every
body interested to avoid the banter
and jesting too commonly used in
reference to the greatest evil of
modern life. The whole topic is
deeply stirring the social elite.
