Divorce Proceedings Instituted.

GUTHRIE, 0. T., Feb. l4.-John II.
Morrison, living near here, has filed a
petition for divorce from his wife
whom he has not seen for 20 years. In
1873 Morrison left his home in York
Pa, and located in St. Joseph, No., IN
tending to send for his family as soon
as he had saved sufficient money. In
1875 he received a letter from his wife ;
parents, informing him that she was
dead, and two years later he married
again. Recently he met an Old ac'
quaintance from York, who IN
formed him that his wife was not dead
that she had married and was still NV
ing with the rival ofhis youth. Hence
the divorce proceedings.

WHY CLEVELAND SELECTED GREsH-
ANA dispatch from Washington says
Democrats in Congress are asking each
other now what political significance
lies buried under the selection of Judge
Gresham for the Premiership of Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet They cannot
bring themselves to believe that the
Judge was chosen solely with respect to
his natural or acquired abilities for the
position. The theory most advanced in
the way of explanation is that MIR.
Gresham is to be President Cleveland's
political legatee; that the incoming
President has selected Alr. Gresham
with view to training him for the cam
paign of 1896. And it may be added
that this explanation is not gratifying
to the old-line democrats. As was
stated In these dispatches last week, it
means a reformation ofdemocratic lines
and the looping off of those who have
contributed most to party success in the
past. They are to be relegated for
newly-made party men, and O mug
wump is to be trained by Mr. Cleveland
for future leadership.

A reckless disregard Of the laws OF
health stamps the character of many a
man. This temerity crops out on every
occasion. You can never make such g
man understand that cough is a pre-
monition Of consumption and a stand

are first the ordinary cough, then the
stubborn, hacking cough and last con-
sumption. Let him heed the friendly
warning and learn to cure the affection
at its first stage with DR.. Bulls Cough

WHEN POLITICAL leaders go out OF
their own party for advisers they must
expect to be adversely criticised there
for, by their enemies in anger as well as
by their friends in sorrow. The Presl-
dcnt-clect cannot, therefore, be sur
prised that ex-senator Platt says
"Mr. Clevelands plans are clear now.
He means to run for the republican
nomination in 1896 All us republicans
are expecting the cabinet lightning to
strike us next There is 10 doubt OF
the fact that Mr.. Clevcland's selection
of Judge Gresham for the premiership
of his cabinet can, without any straining.
be construed as a reflection upon his
own party, as it naturally implies that
there is no man in all that party
capable of filling the position efficiently
and acceptably.

The New YORK World says: ut
will seem strange if any objection to
taking Judge Gresham in Cleveland'a
cabinet shall come from democrats who
have not objected to receiving into
Tammany Hall a large number of re-
publicans who voted for Harrison, Reid
and the Minneapolis platform" oh,
no Neither Tammany nor the national
democratic party has any objection to
receiving recruits from the republican
or any other party, but it is one thing
for the democratic, to receive recruits
from the republican, party and quite an
other to appoint such recruits to the
highest positions within its gift.

JUDGE GREsHAM's APPOINTMENT
The New York Rerald's Washington
correspondent says in reference to the
sentiment among democratic members
of Congress regarding the selection of
Judge Gresham for q cabinet position !:
s.They all say they have the greatest
admiration and respect for Judge Ores
ham personally, but they uttered bitter
denunciations of Mr. Cleveland for Sc
lecting man for his premier who, only
a short time ago, went to the trouble OF
writing out an interview declaring he
was republican, and only voted with VI,
fhe democrats on the tariff issue. The
feeling against Judge Gresham is SO
pronounced as to indicate that strong
protest will be made to the President
elect within the coming week. | am
told there is movement on foot look
inc to a combined attack upon Mr..
Cleveland by the democrats in Con-
Dress to urge upon him the advisable
r. of reeonaidering his invitation to
indge Gresham 70 enter the cabinet. IT
what hear be true g, protest will be
pnade each day. Some members OF the
narty cherish the hope that this exhl-
bition of.hosllity will cause Mr.. CeYe-
Hand to change his mind"

Mr.. Randolph Ccnsured.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE trustees
of the Southern Society have severely
reprimanded Wilton Randolph for the
remark he made to ex-CongreSsman
John S. Wise. Mr.. Randolph met Mr..
Wise in the corridor and asked him if
he had been delivering the republican
speeches as reported in the papers. Mr..
Wise said he had and Randolph said
"Then | don't want to have anything
more to do with you" Mr. Wise did
not lose his temper, but passed on.
The trustees considered this introduc.
ton of politics into the club as most
improper and did not spare Mr.. Ran
dolph's feelings in telling him SO. They
thought that Mr.. Wise might better
have paid no attention to Mr. Ran
dolph's question, but accepted his res.
ignation with regret. 1t is expected
that the dinner of the society at the
Madison Square Garden assembly
rooms on February % will be of rare
interest. DR.. ]. II. Parker will pre-
side, and Jos. II. Choatc, John G.. Car
Isle, Senator u. b. Vance, of North
Carolina; Congressman John Allen. OF
Mississippi, and Josiah Quincy, Of Mas
sachusetts, will deliver addresses.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Coombs attempted to secure the
passage of the Senate bill granting a
pension of $50 a month to the widow Of
Gen. Abner Doubleday but Mr.. Seer
ley objected.
When the Speakers table was cleared
of business, the space in front of the
Speakers desk was thronged with mem
bers, each one of whom waved aloft a
pet measure and sought to catch the
presiding officers eye. Two or three
were successful in the attempt but their
efforts were of no avail, for objection to
their bills was prompt and unsurmount-
able. Then, in order to cut matters
short, Mr.. Antony demanded the regu-
lar order.
Mr.. Mutchler moved that the House
20 into committee of the whole for the
consideration of the invalid pension
appropriation bill. He then asked Mr..
Grout, who represents the minority, as
to what time was desired by the mi
nority for general debate.
Mr.. Grout replied that the minority
desired six hours debate.
Mr.. Mutchler was not willing to
grant this length of time, and moved
that the general debate close at six
o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Stone offered an amendment
that it close at 5 o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Martin, chairman Of the commit
tee on invalid pensions, offered q furth-
err amendment that it terminate at 6
o'clock this day week After tilibuster-
ing the democrats were again obliged to
yield to the republican demand that six
hours debate be accorded to the mi
nority and it was agreed that general
debate close tomorrow at 3 o'clock.
The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the pension bill.
Mr.. Cogswell and Mr.. Bingham earn
cstly protested against the proposed
changes in the pension legislation. The
latter said that this House would rem
der itself Infamous to the American
people if these radical, rude, merciless,
unmanly, un-American amendments
were enacted into law.
Mr.. Morse protested against the gov
crnment violating its solemn, unwritten
promise to the men who periled their
lives for the support Of the Union.

CurIo,Ities About the Rhinocero..

The rhinoceros is beast oflegendary and
mythical associations as well as Of stern
reality. In the mythology Of all the old
world he figures very conspicuously, being
worshiped as a god by the early Javanese
tribes and lauded as the builder ofthe earth
and the heavens by several East African
peoples. The old Jewish Talmud declares
that his skin is folded as a result Of having
been exposed 10 days and 40 nights in the
waters OF the food. The waters Of the
great deluge were hot, according TO Ia
bari, where we read: AFTER that Noah sent
forth the dove The dove departed and
without tarrying put her feet in the water.
The waters OF the food were hot, and they
scalded and picked the legs Of the dove.
II was hot and briny, and feathers would
not grow on her legs any more, and the skin
scaled off. Now, doves which have red and
featherless legs are OF the sort which Noah
sent forth"
This is only cited for authority TO prove
why the skin Of the rhinoceros lays In folds
and ridges. Certainly II the waters were
hot enough 20 pickle and scald" a doves
legs at the moment OF contact, they would
make the skin OF a rhinoceros too large foi
him In the course Of 40 daysl
But" you say, why was he exposed In
the waters Of the great deluge while all tn,
other beasts were safely housed In the arkr
Simply because he was too large to be put
aboard the great lifeship. The bulk Of th'
old rabbinic writers agree that the rhino
ceros fioated along with the ark, but the,
disagree as to how the floating operation
was performed.-St. Louis Republic.

The japanese believe in more mythical
creatures than any other people on the
globe, civilized or savage. Among these
are mythical animals without any re
markable peculiarities of conformation,
but gifted with supernatural attributes,
such as the tiger which is said to turn as
white rs polar bear ON the date of his one
thousandth birthday. They also believe
in species of fox which if it lives to be so
years old without having been chased by
dog transforms itself into beautiful
woman. This same fox, if he can man.
age to live for a acentury, gains additional
powers, such as becoming a wonderful
wizard, etc. When he lives to be 200
years old, he becomes celestial fox" "
with nine golden tails, and has the power
of going to heaven and returning when
ever he chooses.
These Japs also believe in multitude
of animals distinguished by their mon
strous size or by the multiplication OF
their members. Among these are SER
pents 500 feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant; boxes with eight
legs; monkeys with four ears and seven
tails; fishes with 10 heads attached to one
body. the flesh of this last monster being
sure cure for boils. bites of poisonous
serpents, hydrophobia, etc. -Philadel-
