Practical Philanthropy.

An exc lent steward of this worlds
goods is Augustus Hemenway, a retired
farmer of Canton. Mass. He invited all
the public school teachers of that town,
&c in number, to take a 10 days trip to
the Worlds fair at his expense.
This is practical philanthropy of a
kind that warns the heart and increases
confidence in the goodness of human
nature. 1t is an easy matter to advise
every ono to visit the exposition, but
there are thousands of people anxious to
follow tho advice who are confronted
with the perplcxing and discouraging
problem of ways and means. Underpaid
schoolteachors, struggling clergymen,
men and women to whom the expendi-
ture of $1C0 for an outing means serious
sacrifices for the remainder of the year,
may be found in all parts of the coun-
try, longing to go to Chicago, but re-
Ctrained by financial considerations.
They are not suffering or destitute; they
simply can not afford to indulge in the
luxury of trip to the fair. To this
class, intelligent and appreciative, q
friend like Mr.. Hemenway is friend
indeed. Rochester Democrat.

THAT WAGON.
Tho Fire Comml ssioners Go Back or
An Implied Contract.


Tho Fire Commi ssioners Go Back on
An Implied Contract.
A peculiar thing came under the OBJ
servation Of the city councilmen yes
terday.
About three months ago the council
approved contract for the building OF
wagon for the fire department. The
contract was made in favor of Robert
Maloney, who signed it, after which It
went through the councils hands. 1t
was then sent to the mayor for final ap'
provai.
Mr.. Maloney constructed the wagon
and notified the fire commissioners OF
the fact, when it was discovered that
the mayor had not signed the contract
at all.
An explanation was sought and 1t
was found there was come difference of
opinion az to the kind OF wagon desired.
1t is understood the fire commissioners,
or some of them at least. did nots want
such wagon, claiming that 1t had not
the lateet improvements.
Now it Is said that the fire commission
will not accept the wagon on the ground
that no contract existed. the mayor hav-
ing failed to approve it.
Mr.. Maloney made the wagon in good
faith, thinking he had his contract fin-
ally approved. The work cost $3.50.
The legal side OF the question is being
looked into. tls

An Emperor's strange Fancy.

Strange fancies have taken hold Of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies were to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles v had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
tomb to be made in the chapel of the
monastery of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after his abdication, and on
it's completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in coffin and ac-
companied bya procession, he was borne
along, while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in tho
chapel, whero he remained short time
before rising out of the coffin. London

Loolrinr nt Things.


When Mr.. Hudson was in Patagonia,
he fell in with gambler, who told him
that always after the first few rounds of
the game he knew somo Of the cards as
they were dealt. He recognized them
by u difference so slight that another
man could not detect it oven when it was
pointed out to him.
Mr. Hudson is an ornithologist, and
he says that this same preternaturally
sharp eyed man was greatly surprised
when he was told that half a dozen kinds
Of sparrows were feeding and singing
about the house. He had never seen any
difference in them, ho said. In size, color,
shape and actions they were all alike,
and they all sang and twittered alike, SO

Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever robbery is committed the ruler OF
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip of paper the name of the per
son they suspect as having committed
the crimc. The. ono receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
elected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like ell others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine cases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. OF course they
may not select" tho guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations. Pomona

Tho Real Cause of So Much Surplus
Labor.
EDITORS HERALD: In looking through
the HERALD this morning, find nearly
column letter devoted to the interests
of the tramp and workingman, in which
the writer, instead OF dealing with
causes. deals with effects, mistake
that is often made by humanitarians
and reformerp. 1t Is all very nice to in
augurate public works for the relief OF
the unemployed, but what would the re-
suit be? In addition to the thousands
that are now landing at Castle Garden
weekly, the steamship agents in Europe
would he doubled, and instead of 5000
emigrants landing in the United States
weekly the number would be doubled.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Seltishness, or self-preservation, Is the
first law OF nature. The only thing to
do is to stop this emigration, that 1t
does not add to the millions of our un-
employed. 1t is the duty OF Americans,
native and foreign born, to see to this.
Silver and tariff questions dwarf in
comparison.
Control the supply of labor and labor
ing men can make any reasonable de-
mand upon capital. But parties seem
to have taken q greater hold upon the
people than principles. How many
office-holders are actuated by the good
they can do rather than by ambition or
personal gain? The good of the people
is secondary consideration. Neither
party dares to take any radical steps
against foreign emigration except
against the non-voting Chinese who do
not do one.half the injury that the
ignorant voter does.
You remember what followed the
prophecy of Rowan Helper in his i'm
pending crsis. He reasoned from
causes. Macauley's prophecy will also
come true in relation to this country.
The goth century is not 30 far away in
the only part OF which we will be COM
PEELED to defend our institutions from
the hordes of foreigners that will sweep
down upon her as the Goths and Huns
did upon Rome.
/ wish, if these few words meet the
public eye, that they may set them to
thinking. until they shall bring out
other thoughts from men used to public
work. But / have little hope. The
apathy OF the common mind is go great.

to shut our eyes to painful TRUTH
until We have to take up arms, which
