It is well To have particularly. General
statements are certain to be alarming espe-
cially when made concerning any disease

President OF the United States is supposed
10 he suffering. Il has been vaguely mem
toned that Mr.. Cleveland chad something
the matter with his jaw" but that statement
was set at rest few days ago by DR.. Bryant
and general relief followed. But now in
terest is again aroused by the news that he,
the President, is afflicted with "coccygeal
abscess." This has even more alarming
sound than the other, and the explanation
follows that the 'coccygeal glands are stu
ated at the base of the yertebral column or
back bone" This, however, is really too
much for crtdeuce. The country might be-

People sometimes obtain work from
Uncle Sam in peculiar ways. Not so
very long ago poctess of passion in a
far western state became an officc-seck-
or, adopting novel method of pursuing
hcr object. She appealed to n United
States senator, bombarding him with
poetry by mail. Once n week regularly
he received from her long letter in the
shape of n poem. Sometimes he got
two week. The poetry was proba-
blasthe worst that any poetcss of pas
sion had ever produced. At first he
paid no attention to it; but, at length,
it began to prey upon his mind. When
this sort of thing had gone on for five or
six months he became desperate. So
finally he wrote to her, saying:
Your poems have proved to me that
you are unfit for any public office. New
crtheless, if you will cease writing and
sending them to me ] will get YOU n
job" And lie did. 1t is recorded that
man appointed sixth auditor of the
treasury, subject to examination, was
asked to state the distance of the moon
from the earth. His written answer
was simply: Not near enough to affect
the functions OF Il sixth auditor" He
passed. So did another who, being ex-
amincd for employment in the treasury,
was asked how many soldiers England
sent to this country during the revo-
luton. His answer was: ga - sight

extinguished and tho war would be OF
an end.
: Chaplain Kane, with two trusted as
sistants, was commissioned to do the
work which the union ironclads hardly
dared to attempt. He reconnoitered the
position of tho Alexandria and the
other vessels in the fleet and prepared
plan by which on dark night he was
to float down the river in small boat
and anchor within short distance of
the Alexandria with graphing above
the ship. He was to be provided with a
cork jnclSet, and expected to be nblc TO
get under the ships bow without being
noticed and fasten II torpedo con taining
one hundred pounds of high explosives
to tho chain cable. 1t was then planucd
for the chaplain to be hauled back by q
rope which he was to carry with him to
two hundred yards of tho Alexandria,
when he was to pull the lock string and
explode the torpedo.
The arrangements were so carefully
made that the chaplain still thinks lie
would have been successful had the
enemy not blown up their own ships in
order to prevent their capture.
Reference to this heroic intention was
made by Cnpt. William G.. Temple, now
Admiral Temple, in letter to Secre-
tary of the Navy Robson.
ION one occasion, upon Chaplain
kanc's own application" said he, "Ad-
miral Porter authorized me to organize
an expedition for the destruction of the
ironclnds in the james river, and he
actually reconnoitered their position
several times by himself at very consid-
cradle personal risk. When his prep
arations were just about completed
th" rpnfederates destroyed their IRON
which deprived him of the oppor-
tunI,y for distinction which a success
full attempt would have secured him."
At another time Admiral Temple, in
writing of Chaplain Kane, said that he
found him at all times for religious or
desperate enterprises equally ready to
preach the Gospel or lead forlorn
hope on the encmy's brcastworks"

Fat Enough.

a Twenty-siXth ward citizen who
was raising Il fine hog in the rear of his
residence was notified by the board of
health TO remove the animal outside the
city limits. Not wishing to move and
thinking the hog was not fat enough TO
kill, he sent word to n colored man who
had small farm in Montgomery coun-
ty to take the pig to his place until it
was fat enough to kill, agreeing to give
onc-half of the carcass for his trouble.
Sam took tho hog home, and the next
morning brought half of it back to the

yon to keep that hog until it was fat. :"
He war fat enough for me, sab; dar's

AID THE UNEMPLOYED.

There are decided mutterngs of the
coming storm among the unemployed.
While congress is Indulging in talk
the winter is approaching, and the great
problem of bread and warmth is con-
fronting thousands.
In this section of the country the eli
mate precludes many classes Of en-
ployment in the winter. Assuming
that the action of congress will relieve
the business strain (Which is by ne
means certain, 1t will Ue SO long de-
layed as to prevent any very practical
results here before next spring.
How oui unemployed are 10 be cared
for during the next six months becomes
a more serious problem. in view of eli
matte conditions, than confronts the
Eastern cities.
The agitation of the subieethas wisely
begun already. Private contribution
cannot be relied on, tor. however great
the liberaiity, it would be inadequate.
Besides. those vino might have the Will
could hardly be expected to have the
means at the present time.
1t is in no sense work of charity, but
of justice. Men and women, able
bodied. sober and industrious, are anX-
iouS for work. They are not beggars
seeking to be supported in idieness.
Comparatively few working men are
sufficiently forehanded to endure a six
mouths siege of enforced idle No
matter bow frugally they may live, men
OF families cannot accumulate sufficient
to meet sudden and prolonged loss of
employment.
The problem is one which should be
met by the public authorities. There is
no other safe reliance. humanity and
good order demand aetion.and the plans
should be made at once. The crisis is at
hand, even if the storm has not abso-
lutely broken.
Instead of confscating property for
parks, the city authorities had better
devise ways and means to furnish bread
and warmth TO those who Will SOON be
suffering from cold and hunger.
