The sensation OF Failing.

Lord Sherbro6ke'sracy style of mar
rative entered even into the descrip-
ton of his misfortunes. In the auto
biographical chapter there is an
account of his fall over a precipice-
fortunately ending in water. The
fall, he tells us, was said to be 12O
feet, but he adds: "On this can give
no opinion, for my experience has
proved to me that the worst possible
way of measuring height is to fall
down it. People, " he says, 'are de-
scribed in such situations as having
their whole life pass before them, as
losing their breath, as dead before
they reach the ground. None of
these things happened to me. I
seemed long time rolling over and
over in the air. remember hoping
that should be killed outright and
then the relief of finding myself IN
water. - London News.

TIleir Idnl.

Speaker Reed is the acknowI-
edged leader of the Republican party
and their idol. Every word he
utters is taken up by the Republi.
can press and heralded as remarks
of wisdom and craftsmanship. As
matter of fact Mr.. Reed is no such
an oracle of political wisdom, and
his influence among the people was
prettily put by Congressman
Bynum, of Indiana, the other day.
In the course of the debate on the
new rules Mr.. Bynum entertained
the House with the following sum-
mary of Tom Reeds triumphs on
the husting's in the campaign of
1890: 1.-The gentleman from Maine
in that campaign made FIVE speeches
in five Republican, districts in the
State of New York, and they all
went Democratic. Then he went
out to Ohio and spoke in a Repub.
lican district and that is Demo
cratic. Heeameover into our State,
were the President had only three
members out of thirteen, and made
one speech at Logansport, and that
went Democratic. Laughter.] He
wentover into Brother Cannon's dis
trict in Illinois, and Brother Cannon
stayed at home. Laughter. He
then went over into the district of
Mr.. Rowell, the very able chairman
of the committee on elections in the
Fifty-frst Congress. and we have
seen no more of Mr.. Rowell.
[Laughter.l From there he went
to Mr.. Gest's district, and Mr.. Gest
is no more. From there he went to
Chicago, and we have seen nothing
of Brothers Adams and Mason since
that time. Laughter.l Winding
up he went to Wisconsin and gave
us a solid Democratic delegation,
and on his way home he stopped to
visit Brother Allen, whose melo-
dious voice we have not since heard
in this hall. [Laughter Taken
altogether, 1t was very remarka-
BILE record" For once in his life
the ex Speaker had nothing to say.
He kept his seat and joined heartily
in the laughter that followed.

CharacteristIcs Or AM old Mntd.

In the course of her life the old
maid spends lots of money on we'd
ding presents, and never gets any
back.
An old maid is usually very fond
of pet cat or dog, because a pet
cat or dog asks no questions. Old
maids don't like to be asked ques-
tions.
An old maid always pays her
debts.
No one envies an old maid but an
unhappy married woman.
Ifshe dresses well people say she
is setting her cap" and if she
doesn't she is abused in other ways.
Her friends marry, and because
she doesn't enjoy their children, call
her by her first name and pull her
hair, they think she is cranky.
When the men made old maids,
the Lord to cheer them made tea.
They don't get invited to parties,
but they receive word promptly
when there are any dead to be laid
out.
Old maids always have their back
hair done up tighter than other wo-
men and their frizzes are thinner.
The man who invented the hot
water bag loved the old maid.
Old maids seldom play the piano;
they know they can't do it. 1t is
the girls of sixteen who bore you
with piano playing.
1t is very rare old maid who
does not cry softly over some old
love affair. There probably never
was much in it, but she has gradu-
ally convinced herself there was.

1t is now reported that electricity
has been successfully applied to the
burning of brick, and promises to
revolutionize the industry by great
ly reducing the labor and cost. The
kiln and the drying are entirely
dispensed with. The wet clay is
put into a sort of covered iron mold
which holds 1000 bricks, strong
current of electricity is turned on,
and in a very short time the bricks
are dried and burnt, and ready to

A correct taste is ever the CON
comitant of chaste mind. "For, y
as a clever writer has justly observ
ed, "our taste commonly declines
with our merit" A correct taste is
the offspring of all that is delicate
in sentiment and just in conception;
it softens the infexibility of truth,
and decks reason in the most per-
suasive garments.

If we are asked what is the one
thing which, more than any, is the
basis of true self-respect, our answer
would be, work. We do not see
how any idle person can respect
himself An idle person may be
proud, he may be vain, he may be
arrogant, but as self-respect is the
parent of all manly enterprise, SO is
idlencss the parent of all vice.

JUDGE GRESHAM.

The selection of Judge Gresham
by President Cleveland for his See
retary of State is a master stroke of
political policy, just and manly
recognition of the merits of one of
the master minds of the country.
Judge Gresham was brave sci
der, he is an able pure man, a just
judge. be is not spokesman, not a
blathersklte politician. His party
adherence is on principle not for
place.
He accepted the Democratic Plat
form as his political principles. He
voted for Cleveland because he was
the candidate of his platform, of his
party. That makes Judge Gresham.
makes any man Democrat.
To him more than to any one man
are we indebted for the conquest of
the Republican strongholds of the
north west, giving us the United
States Senate, and relieving the par
ty from the thralldom of Tammany.
The selection of Judge Gresham Is
approved by the progressive, trlnm.
phant, ruling Democracy of the re-
public.

man of care, economy, and dispatch.
He has faculty Of utilizing the

in Ohio.
AS man and citizen he is honest,
enterprising, exemplary, and is
hcnored and esteemed in society, at
home and in the widest range of the
newspaper circle of the country.
As Democrat he stands unchalleng-
ell, honored with the most impor-

or is fortunate in knowing Herr

the other Republican editors of
American papers, in order to ad-

needs make Field Marshal of Hlrish
