The father Of Mr.. Hunt, chief Of the f5re

that he Was horn in Michigan and was

President Cleveland has been in Office
but little more than month and yet hs
has clearly lost ground with the most
respectable elements OF his party. The
laws Of the country are admitted by the
intelligent leaders of both the great parties
to be entirely inadequate to protect the
country against the turbid food of per.
niclous foreiea immigration; the laws We
have need to be executed in the most
strict manner. Mr.. Cleveland knows this.
aud yet he has made two appointments for
commissioner and superintendent of i'm
migration that were unfit to be made. The
new commissioner is himself an immi.

than Eve or six years, and the new super
intendent was the open representative in

Two Kind Confidence Men Work IN Old
Man CleVerly.

Two Kind Confidence Men Work an Old
Man Cleverly.
An old gray.bearded man with gold
spectacles, whose name is Swan, and who
Was at one time q druggist in California,
but IL now connected with the Northern
Pacific, was swindled out of checks valued
at $3.50, $40 gold piece and gold watch
and chain by two confidence men last Sat
urday night.
Swan was drinking, and met man in
the Windsor hotel bar who made himself
very agreeable. They had several drinks,
and during the conversation in came
young fellow who was introduced to Mr..
Swan as one Of the firm of Clancy & Burns.
In short time the latter excused himself
with the remark that he had to return TO
his place Of business. The confederate
waited . while and then suggested that
Mr.. Swan and himself cali at Clancy s.
Burns. They left the Windsor and went
to saloon, described later by Mr.. Swan
as rather dark and where the bartender
was an old man with full beard.
Several drinks were taken, and it was
suggested that Mr.. Swan was TOO much
under the influence of liquor to carry his
ysiuabies and the best thing tor him to do
was TO leave them with the bartender and
get them in the morning. Such thought
fu!ness on the part Of friend was gr4te-
fully received by Mr.. Swan, and he handed
over his new gold watch and chain which
he had just purchased that day, two
Northern Pacific checks, for 500 and $i6D,

ing to descriptions Of the tortures that would
be inflicted upon the damned. Yet with all her
seal and earnestness she was sympathetic and
pleading. She displayed righteous indignation.
however. when she referred to the 'lost condi-
ton OF Olympia" Particular stress was given
to that class OF unbelisvers who had dance
house that they called . church. and who were
going down to hell with frightful rush. She
was unsparing In her dsnunciations Of unbelief,
and related startling instances where divine
wrath had been inflicted upon scoffers aud
those who made sport Of preaching.
At tho close of the service Dr.. Bright an
nounced that Sunday afternoon at 3O'clock
there would be . meeting at the church for
Methodists only. The pastor said he intended
to find out what the members Of the church
proposed to do about the revival. 1t is thought
he will make some interesting remarks upon
that occasion. Dr. Bright is very plain spoken

Rats Are Great Travellers.

Rats do not, as one would suppose, re-
main on the ship, but get off at various
ports. and after remaining while ship
on some other vessel for another voyage.
The water rats or wharf rats are great
travellers and make frequent voyages
around the lakes and even around
the world-the latter as | discovered
while engaged in West India service.
There are here now rats from almost
every part of the globe. Why, saw
four colossal Jamaica rats, with their
white bellies, skipping about in the moon
light few weeks ago, and only yester-
day killed two Indian male rats not
200 feet from where we were standing.
Rats are great climbers when they
find it necessary to be so. Upon one of
my voyages not long ago we had long
spell of warm weather, and there was
no water in the hold which the small
army of rats on board could get at. One
night we put some water up at the cross
trees and waited for the result Well,
the rats just swarmed up the ratlines
and went for the water. We killed as
many of them as we could as they came
down, and some of them jumped over
board and were drowned. But we could
not kill them all, land few made the
entire voyage with us,-Interview in

Blsmarck,s Advice to Students.

Only now, and in a roundabout way,
via Bonn, has the text of the speech
which Prince Bismarck made at the re-
ception of Bonn students become known.
The prince confessed that at the univer-
sity he neglected study, but added: "The
only thing that l am sorry for on look
ing back to those times is that could
not later on make up for what had neg
lected then. What one has learned aft
erward does not remain 50 firmly in ones
memory. | do not dissuade you from
working, but l am not Mortified if my
sons commit studentlike excuses, and
above all things l believe that the stu
dents life in corporations has this adj
vantage-that it somewhat steels the
character by subjecting each to the crit
icism of his comrades. This is a great
thing. As long as one belongs to a cor
poration, to the opinion of which one at
taches much Importance, one does not
easily go astray. The same thing plays
an important part later on in life. What
