Is Cleveland to Return uarrlson,s FavorY

Is Cleveland to Return Harrison's Favor7
 The promotion of Judge J. N. Scott, brother-in-law to President Harrison, to the newly created office of superintend- ent of construction of public buildings on the Pacific coast has given rise to the rrmor that the president will request his successor that Judge Scott be retained in office by the incoming administration. Mir. Cleveland made a similar request four years ago of Mir. Harrison. Tho former had appointed Benjamin Folsom, Mrs. Cleveland's brother, to the lucra- tive office of United States consul at Sheffield, England, The salary is $2, 800 per annum and perquisites aggregating another $1 900.
 When Cleveland retired from office he requested of his successor to retain Folsom in office, and President Harrison evidently considered this proposition ih a favorable manner. for tho reason that Folsom is about the only Democrat who is holding consular office of any im4 portance abroad. Another relation of Mir. Cleyeland's, nephew, has held the office of special deputy United States marshal in one of the northwestern states during tho last four years.
 The salary of the new office held by Judge Scott is nine dollars per day and travelling expenses, all of which is about equivalent to Folsom's remuneration The duties of the office require constant travelling between cities where public buildings are being constructed. The officer examines the progress of hework and reports to tho head office in Wash ington city.--Cor Seattle Post-Intellil efoppar

nIatrlmonlal Runners in Indiana.

"Loye will find way" says the song. It has been finding its way across the Ohio river between Kentucky and h. diana at the rate of 500 couples a year for n long time back But the outlook now is that competition will prove not the life, but the death of trade in the matrimonial market of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. In the small towns along the Indiana border the ire quency of elopements from the neigh boring state has furnished a new occu- patton to certain Kentucky and Indiana gentlemen -namcly. that of "natrimo- nial runner."
 These runners watch for runaway low CTS, accost them and take them to cer- tain civil magistrates in whose pay they are, and the officer of the law quickly unites the pair in marriage, cxacting therefor fee, part of which becomes the pcrquisite of the rnnncr. In spite of the fGct that stringent laws exist for tho government of these magistrates, they have done lucrative business. and in the competition that has arisen between them and thcir runners the latter have at tiIaes in their wrangles over a dis hacted LochinvGr and his sweetheart almost come to bloodshed.

THE FLY EATING PLANT.
A Curious operAtion of Vegetabie D
 vcuring Animal Life.

A Curious OrerAtion of a Vegetaoie De-
 vcnring Animal Life.
 One species of tho drosea has its leaves rounded, while the ether has them elon- gated, but both alike have them reddish in color and covered with short hairs or filaments At the end of each of these hairs there Is an enlarged gland which secretes tiny drop of what appears to be harmless dew Harmless, however, tho liquid is not, for to most insects, espe- cially small flies, the drcsea is most insidiously baited trap. Tue liquid is in reality sweet, sticky substance, and if the very smallest Ky does but touch 1t ever so lightly 1t sticks there and dies. The manner in which the plant after ward actually digests tho bodies of the fiies it entraps is interesting in the ex- treme.
 Within short time of the capture Of e hy--so excessively sensitive are the glands-all the filaments growing around the one which has made the capture com mence to bend inward, covering the luckless insect until 1t is securely within the grasp of the relentless plant Each gland then pours out upon the body a digestive liquid, not altogether unlike the gastric juice of animals, and in the course of day or two the fly is com pletely digested, the nutritive parts have been wholly absorbed by the plant and the filaments have bent back to their original position, ready to make another capture upon the first opportunity.
 If, however, the substance caught.by the leaf is of an indigestible nature, such as grain Of sand or piece of stick blown by tho winds on to the glands, the leaf does not remain closed more than few hours. The number of insects thus caught must be very great. The plants themselves are very abun- dant In most upland bogs, Each plant has five or six leaves, and as many us thirteen dead flies have been found on a single leaf
 Curiously enough, Darwin. whose re- searches into the subject were of a most exhaustive and interesting nature, found that the leaves on his plants were killed when he gave them surfeit of cheese and raw meat. The excessively sensi- tive nature of the glands almost sur passes conception. Darwin found that the absorption of only the i.2O, ,0OO, ,0OOth part of Q grain of phosphate of ammo mia or thereabout was sufficient to cause the filament bearing the gland to bend toward the center of the leaf.--Good Words

 Frederick ". Root is q good deal of hoodoo He gracefully acknowledges the charge himself. It is q singular fact that whenever be appears to deliver d lecture the rain begins 10 fall He Is 50 good a rain producer that he has serious ly considered the idea of utilizing his talents for that purpose in the arid re- gions of the west,
 While at Silver Lake Assembly. in New York state. he delivered a lectured on musical tastes or a kindred subject. He had delivered the same lecture half dozen times in the west, and the refresh ing shower came along each time before he had half finished it.
 But when he reached the Silver Lake Assembly grounds the sky was bright, and Mir. Root congratulated himself upon having shaken of his evil spirit. He mounted the rostrum, cleared his throat, and when he had got as far as Friends and fellow citizens" tho rum bla of distant thunder grated harshly upon his ears. Yet Ec gathered up his courage and went on, and before he had delivered quarter of his lecture the rain came down in torrents.
 Indeed, said dr Root, ''I never saw it rain so hard before" After tho ad- dress witty young Chicago woman who knew of tho hoodoo business suggested, for the convenience of the public, that next year Mir Root should write lec- turo upon dry subject.-Chicaso Post.

In the mountains of Kentucky when a husband dies his funeral sermon is not preached until after the death of the wife, nor that of wife until the hus- band also is dead. Then preacher is sent for. friends and heighbors are called in. md the respect is paid to both together
 More peculiar is the custom of having the services for one person repeated, so that the dead get their funerals" preached several times months and years after their burial. ! heard the pitiful story of two sisters who had their moth er's funeral preached once every sum mer as long as they lived.
 In strange contrast with this regard for ceremonial obscrvances is their neg lect of the graves of their beloved, which they do not seem ut all to visit when once closed CT to decorate with those symbols of affection which are the common indi- cations of bereavement.-"B Blue Grass Region of Kentucky"

Defeating Che Intent of the Law.

A Washington dispatch July 13, to the s. F. Chronicle, says; It is un- dsrstood that the Treasury Department IS not required by the Sherman law to purchase 4,500, 900 ounces of silver each month. The law reads "The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby directed to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate of 4,500, 900 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered iR esch month, at the market price thereof, etc.
 Under this construction If ths price does not suit the department it is held that purchases need not be made in any special month, so long as the ag- grsgats Is maintained. The decision as to what is the market price is made by the director of tbs mint, who makes the purchase. The acting director of the mint expects to get his full quota this month.

Within late years new style of house keeping has come in. It Is step fur ther than the flat" Besides it is much more swell to live in chambers" than to live in fat It is just the thing for young married people. They take q suite of two or three rooms and bath. There is no kitchen. They furnish the rooms to please themselves, and have of course their own latchkey, just as if it were a flat. The house has an office down stairs Q good deal like a hotel. Here mail, etc., is received. A reception room is provided down stairs, where guests wait while their cards are brought to you.
 The suites are all supplied with bells.

ON THe VERGE OF THE UNKNOWN
An Experiment That Makes Us Ask,
 "what Is Coming?''

'what Is Coming?"
 Mir. w. II. Preece, chief engineer and 1 electrician to the postoflice, has put up a wire mile long on the coast near Lay ernock and shorter one on Flatholm, a 1 little island three miles of in the Bristol channel, He fitted the latter wire with ] ''sounder' 10 receive messages, and sent message through the former from 8 powerful telephonic generator. That message on the mainland was distinctly heard on the island, though nothing con nected the two, or. in other words. tho possibility of a telephone between places unconnected by wire was conclusively established.
 There is a possibility here of inter planetary communication. a good deal more worthy attention than any scheme for making gigantic electric flashes. We do not lznow if we can communicate by telephone through the ether to New York or Melbourne with or without cables, but we do know that, if we can not, the fault is in our generators and saunders, and not in any prohibitory nat ural law.
 Will our habitual readers bear with us for a moment as we wander into another, and, as many of them will think, a supra sensual region? The thought in a mans brain which causes him to advance his foot must move something in doing it, or how could it be transmitted down that five or six feet of distance? If it moves physical something, internal to the body, why should 1t not move also something external, a wave, as we all agree to call it, which on another mind prepared to receive it--htted with a sounder in fact-will make an impact having all the effect in the conveyance of suggestion, or even of facts, of the audibility of words? Why, in fact, if one wire can talk to another without con nection, save through ether, should not mind talk to mind without any wire" at all
 None of us understands accurately, or even as yet approximately, what the con ditions are, but many of us know for certain that they have occasionally, and by what we call accident, been present to particular individuals, and that, when present, the communication is scompleted without cables, and mind speaks to mind independently of any machinery not os- isting within itself.
 Why, in the name of science, is that more of a 'miracle'-that Is, an occur renee prohibited by immutable law than the transmission of Mr. Preecc's message from Layernock to Flatholm?- London Spectator

Careless Sea captaina.

Very mysterious gre the ways of sea. fariEg men. If Mr. William Ordway Partridge is to be credited, and there appears no reason why he should not be, an ocean steamer recently turned slight ly out of her course to inspect a lumber ladcnvessel that floated at the mercy of wind and wave, torn sails fluttering and with other signs of having passed through a storm in midocean. There was no sign of life ol deck. though no one can say what acloser look might haveshown, But the captain of the great ship saw fit to pass on without even getting the name of the derelict. The indignation of the passengers is of no avail in such a case. Tho vessel was left to drift un- signaled in the path of other steamers, q menace for a long time to come to every voyager who crosses the ocean.-New- port News,
