A Stranger In the Land.

The refusal of the house of commons to adjourn over Derby day recalled a story related of one of the Roman Cath olic peers who took their seats some four or five years before the passage of the first reform bill after an exclusion of a century and a half. He gave notice that on a certain day he would make cer- tain motion, whereupon there arose from his noble colleagues general cry of 'Derbyp' The astonished novice named another day, only to be greeted with an equally unanimous approximation of "Oaks~ At this he explained that he would have to ask the forgiveness of their lordships, but having been educat- ed abroad he was forced to acknowledge that he was not familiar with the list of saints days in the Anglican calendar San Francisco Argonaut.
 Typewriting by Wire.
 The telotype, or electrical typewriter, has been designed to meet the require ments of a rapid and reliable printing telegraph instrument, which has long been needed. This instrument is ma nipulated very much in the same way as a typewriter. The transmitter as well as the receiver makes copy of the mes- sage, and the liability of mistakes is thus largely decreased. The instruments work in unison, and it is impossible to send message from one machine unless the corresponding machine at the end of the distant line is properly receiving The record is plainly printed on the strip of moving paper in front of the operator The same instrument can send and re- csivs. New York Telegram.

 Oh, ''the way of the transgressor is hard" His cup is bitter. His night is dark. His bangs are deep. His end is terrific. Philistine iniquity says to that man, "Now, surrender to me, and will give you all you want-music for the dance, swift steeds for the race, imperial couch to slumber on, and you shall be refreshed with the rarest fruits in bas- kets of golden fligree." He lies. The music turns out to be groan. The fruits burst the rind with rank poison. The filigree is made up of twisted snakes. The couch is grave. Small allowance of rest, small allowance of peace, small allowance of comfort. Cold, hard, rough nothing but a file. So 1t was with Voltaire, the most applauded man of his day:

EIGHT YEARS AGO
President Cleveland issued an Exclusion"
Order.


Order.
Washington. ID. O.. May 13.-It may
be Of interest 10 know that the order Of
President Cleveland shutting the White
House door to oilice seekers Is not with
out precedent, despite assertions TO the
contrary. Nearly eight years ago-On
October "a, 1SS5-Nr, Cleveland issued
a Similar statement In which he not only
said that he would decline TO see those
seeking public positions, but their Dlyo-
Gates as well. The text of this order was
as follows:
"Exccutiye Mansion, October 81, 1895
For nearly eight months q large share
of the time OF the president has been de-
voted to uie hearing OF applications for

undoubtedly subseryed the public good;
some OF II has been sacrificed 10 the IN
diligence OF people IN their natural in-
dsience upon useless interviews, aud
some Of II Inns been unjustly wasted
The public welfare and due regard for
the claims OF those whose interest In the
government Is entirely disconnected with
Office holding, imperAdyely demand that
in the future the time OF the president
should be differently occupied ana he
confidently expects that all good citizens
