views HJH hfIHOut success.
A representative of this paper
called on Minister Blount last week
with the hope of obtaining his
views on two matters of public in
terest. The reporter was pleasantly
received by the commissioner but
on attempting 10 explain his mis-
sion was promptly met with a firm
but polite refusal to answer any
questions whatever.
Mr.. Blount said: Il do not de-
sire to be discourteous to members
of the press, but I was foolish
enough to grant one interview to a
press representative since l have
been here. In that interview I was
misrepresented and a false con-
struetion put on some of my words,
which has since been a source of
much annoyance to me. l have
made up my mind once and for all
to answer no questions whatever,
and TO have nothing whatever to do
with the differences between the
local press"
After thanking the commissioner
for his courtesy the reporter with

The Bishops Wit Saved Him.

A story showing the shrewdness and
ready wit of the Scotchman is told 4
4 well known Scotch bishop who was
content TO pass his life in single bless
adness. While he held a certain see
he was, of course, an object OF consid-
cradle interest TO the unmarried ladies
If the neighburhood. One day he re-
ceivcd a visit from II of them, who
had reached the age of desperation.
Her manner was solemn, though some
what embarrassed. The good bishop
spoke with his usual kindness, and en-
couragcd her to be communicative. BY
and by he drew from her that size Lad
mad a very strange dream, or rather,
as she thought, q revelation from
heaven.
On further questi ming she confessed
that it had been intimated TO her that
she was to be united in marriage to
The bishop. Ono may imagine what a
start that gave to he quiet scholar,
who ha long before married his books
and never thought of any other bride.
He recovered, however, and, address
ing her very gently, said that doubt
less these limitations were not to be
le.pised. As yet, however, the de-
of heaven were but imperfectly
explained, as they had been revealed
o only one of lie parties. He would
wait to see if any similar communion
ion should be made to himself, and
when it happened he would be sure to
ct her know.

ECONOMIC PLANTS.

Many Of the pamphlets and pubiIca-
tions Of the U. s. Department of Ag-
ricuiture are of great value and inter.
est to persons interested in horticul-
ture aud Horticulture as we'll as to the
agricultural interests. Among these is
a late publication devoted to Economic
plants, in which a long list is given OF
plants raised in the Botanical gardens
at Washington, with a brief description
and history of each. These are
brought from every part of the world.
and are of various grades of utility.
Among them we find the Taro or Kalo
plant, tCdtddium escufentum) Of the
Sandwich Islands from which ros,
their natural dish is made. There are
agaves, aloes. and other fibrous plants
and many curious fruits and spices,
also plants used mediciDallg.
There have been two pamphlets IS
sued descriptive of the edible and
Poisonous Mushrooms of the United
States" which, being illustrated with
colored pictures, cannot but prove of
much value to lovers of the toothsome
fungi.
A Report upon the Climatic and Ag-
ricuitural features of the Pacific Slope
is another interesting publication, Civ
ing much information in regard to the
agricultural, geological, and climatic
features of the country, its peculiar
products, a list of exotic plants on trial

aBecause writing Ia my trade is no
reason why | should be expected to
follow it for pleasure" said Mark
Twain to a writer in the indianapolis
News, and forthwith the humorist de-
stroyed several letters lying before him
on his desk. And this opinion is ap-
~parcntly shared by not a few Of the
famous writers of the day.
Bret Harte, for example, positively
refuses to answer any but letters of u
business nature, or from friends. Ten
nvson ignores all letters without dis
eliminating except in rare instances.
Robert Louis Stevenson travels
around so much that most - ijs letters
never reach him, and those that find
him receive but scant attention. Mr..
Howells is not over particular with his
correspondence, and James Russell
Lowell is even less SO.
Ouida takes pride in saying that but
one letter in a hundred receives reply
at her hands. Mrs, Oliphant, the Eng
fish novelist, is also a poor correspond
ent except with her intimate friends.
Frank II. Stockton has recently
formed the habit of answering letters
only after they have been repeated two
or three times. George Bancroft's age
prevents him from being attentive to o
miscellaneous correspondence, while
the poet Whittier and Wait Whitman
have been compelled for the same
reason to resort TO science in numerous
cases.

mushrooms.

It is q popular error that mushrooms
grow to their full size during a single
ard that they dissolve and van
ish after the sun shines upon them.
They are rapid in growth and rapid in
but the same mushroom may
be watched growing and expanding
for two or three days, and then gradu-
ally decaying away. Much depends
On the dampness or dryness of the sea-
SON. In some cason they are exceed
ingly plentiful, while at other times
they are comparatively rare. This
also is believed to depend chiefly on
climatic conditions. 1t is not unusual
for cultivated mushrooms to become
attacked by a parasit c mould, which
renders them unfit for food. tbs
misfortune rarely happens to the wild
form, until it is in process of decay.
The catacombs of Paris are noted for
heir production of mushrooms in i'm
nense quantities. From the Merry
caves as many as 5000 pounds are
sometimes sent TO market daily. We
nave heard of a crop being grown in .

hitched to a rickety pung, near a
spruce tree plantation at Shutdown
Hill and went into the woods to eX-

the animal. The bear had torn the
blanket OF the horse and had thrown
the seal out Of the pung. Before MI.
Desmond reached the scene the horse
broke his fastening and dashed away,
the bear all the time striking the
animal with its paw al though it
wanted to ride faster. Mr.. Desmond
took up the seat and gave pursuit,
catching up to the horse on the side
Of a steep hill. He dealt the bear a
severe crack on the head, and in its
rage the bears forefeet broke through
the bottom Of the pung. While
struggling to dlsengage itself the
hind feet also passed through, rem
dering the beast powerless. A farmer

One Mr.. Muldoon erected In the
Iwenty-Fourth Ward, of New York
City, a structure with pilasters of
lath on the facade and with rusty tin
for the roof, with a cellar below for
chickens. Que day, he went to the
Commissioner Of Public Works with
this statement: sfMe name is Null
doom. / control forty votes. l keep
chickens In me cellar, and there is
water in it. l want 1T cleared out
or l shall throw me forty votes
against your parity" Muldoon was
advised to 20 to the fire department..
He went to them, and he said: me
name is Muldoon. L control forty
votes. l want the water pumped
out, or I'll cast them forty votes for
a nay-gur." Tie fire commissioners
said they would be glad to pump out
the water, but Muldoon had better
see the Mayor. The Mayor received
him with a blind air. Muldoon re-
peated his story, saying: "If you
don't get the water out, Ill give my
forty votes to a hahthen Chinee.n
The Mayor sent Muldoon to the
Board of Aldermen, where Muldoon's
friend, McGufin, a member of the
Board, engraved on the tablet of
Muldoon's memory the following In
tellectual remark: "Muldoon, the

Surprises Often Fatal

There are many persons who are
fond Of contrivlng surprises-pleasant
surprises for their friends; and in nine
cases out ten, such little stratagems
are harmless.
But there are circumstances in
which any tampering with that deli
cate instrument, the human heart,
becomes a tragic experiment.
Here is a case in roInt. A yon1g
mar of Marse lies had been brought
up in the family of a merchant, and
of course fell in love with his only
daughter.
1t became ne "essary to send him to
Calcutta on business; but the pain Of
parting was softened by a promise
that his marriage should take place
on his return.
In a few weeks however, news
came that the steamship in which he
had embarked had been wrecked, and
that every soul persisted. The grief
of his destined bride was agonizing,
After a time however she became
calmer; but insisted on entering a
convent with the intention Of taking
the veil at the end of a year.
But a few months of her noviciate
had passed when she announced her
intention Of leaving the convent, in
consequence of repeated dreams which
showed her her lover alive AID well.
and asking for her hand.
In spite of the remonstrances Of
the superior and sisterhood, the girl
went home, where she was received
with open arms by her parents.
But there vas q mysterious express
sion In their Joy, the meaning Of
which she could not fathom.
They took her by the hand and led
her to the s%ltting-room; on the
threshold stood her lover. who re-
ceived her into his arms AMI covered
her with kisses
When he released her from embrace,
she tottered, stretched out her hands
towards her parents, and sunk upon
the floor a corpse. The joyful SIT
prise had killed her.

ple's will. The platform then runs
thus:
While we recognize that the repeal
or this law is not partisan question
and welcome the cooperation of men of
all parties i'll securing it, we cannot ig-
more the fact that no Democratic votes
were cast for its passage, while it could
not have become law without the
votes of the Republican members OF
congress from this state. The full re-
sponSlbility for the disasters which
have resulted from Its enactment and
operation must therefore rest upon the
Republican party.
I'VE demand as.the surest protection
against the issue of fiat money by the
government that either through the re-
organization of the rational bank sys-
tenn, or the re-establishment of state
banks of issue, under such federal re-
strictions as will make their notes as
good as those of the
NATIONAL BANKS,
the people of all sections of the coun-
try be enabled to supply themselves
with the banking facilities enjoyed by
other civilized nations"
The people next are congratulated
upon the complete overthrow of the
doctrine of Mckinleyism and the cleo
ton of government pledged to gen.
eral reform of the tariff for the benefit
of all classes of American citizens"
and the speedy reduction of the tariff
to a revenue basis is confidently antici-
pated.
A just and liberal pension system is
favored for all needy and deserving
veterans; but" runs the platform, 1--WE
recognize that congress and not the PEN
sion bureau must define the conditions
under which pensions are to be granted,
and we commend the efforts of the pres
ent administration to make the opera
ton of the pension system conform to
the plain terms of congressional enact
ments and to purge the pension roll of
frauds"
The election of United States senators
by popular vote is demanded; further
and strict application of the civil service
law is favored; alleged inconsistency of
the Republican party in Massachusetts
on this subject is denounced.
The career of Gov. Russell is referred
to with pride and his work is reviewed.
The balance of the platform is devoted
to state issues.
The state committee was given author
ity to fill vacancies on the~ticket. The
membership of the state committee at
large was increased from fifteen to
twenty, and at 1850 p. IN. the cOnven-
ton adjourned.
