self one Of the most unjust and un-
grateful of men and sneak besides.
His belief in the unjustices of man
kind is apt to be founded on their
persistent refusal to be overreached
by him; and his complaints of in>
gratitude generally arise from the
lndlsposltion OF people to acknowl>
edge as a benefit the constant and
varied attempts he makes to impose
upon them. Such man is always
seen through by his acquaintances,
and afford the pitiablo spectacle of
man who with the strong desire to
play the role Of an overreaching ty-
rant, has only the capacity to rise
to the level of a whineing sneak.

The messengers by whom the Off
cidl statements of results of ballot
ing by the state electoral college are
sent to congress are allowed mile
age of 20 cents each waH from the
capitals of the states to Washington.
Inasmuch as the trip can be made
aat cost of about one fourth of that
amount, it will be seen that where
the messenger has a long distance
to travel he receives quite snug
sum, much Of which is profit. For
instance, the distance from Olympia.
WASH, to Washington is about $500
miles. At the rate of 20 cents mile
each way this would amount to ST.
400. The trip can be made for less
than 5000 and will not take more
than two weeks, leaving profit of
$1,000, or 500 day to the messen-
ger. The man who carries the le-
turns from Georgia will travel some
thing like 81, 900 miles, which will
pay him 5000.

How people die may interest you.
A medical journal says that the an
nual mortality of the entire human
race amounts, roughly speaking, to
$4,000, 900 persons. This, it is OBJ
served, implies that the average
deaths per day are nearly $1,000,
being at the rate of 1871 an hour.
The notion of 60 people dying every
minute of the day and night all the
year round presents our death
statistics perhaps in the lugubrious
aspect that is possible. Pursuing
these cheerful researches this au-
thOrity finds that fourth of the
race die before completing their 8th
year and one-half before the end of
the 18th year; but the average
duration of life is nevertheless about
80 years. Further it has been as
certained that centenarians are so
rare that not more than one person
in hundred thousand attains this
patriarchal age.

Two years and half ago two

just graduated in St. Louis, deter
mined to undertake trip around the
world on bicycles. On July 4, 1890,
the actual wheeling began, the start

week they turned up in San
Francisco, having traversed in North
China some territory hitherto con-
sidered inaccessible to strangers, be.
sides wheeling through some of the
most romantic and picturesque coun-
try in the world in Europe and Asia.
The trip was a most remarkable one,
and is said to have been the nearest
approach to complete tour of the
world ever made on bicycles and it
Will be remembered that several men

OUT ON BOND.

AFTER residence of thirteen
months aud some days in the Fulton
county Jail as u prisoner of contempt
Steve A. Ryan, the ex-merchant
prince, VS. released on bond of
100000 Saturday afternoon, peLd-
ing hearing of his case before a
Jury, as provided by the law passed
by the last session of the legislature.
For three weeks Ryan's attorneys
have been working to have him
made beneficiary OF the law, which
provides that all contempt cases
where the contempt involves money
shall be passed upon by jury, instead
of placing the absolute power to i'm
prison for contempt IN the hands Of
the judge. The bill, it is thought,
was introduced in behalf of Ryan if
not actually prepared at the instance
of his friends or attorneys, who had
exhausted every other means of
securing his release without paying
over the $4,000 alleged to be in
his possession, and the ink of the
executive approval had hardly dried
on the act before they were at WORK
on the official papers demanding
hearing before a jury.
