old day of prosperity when the
Pops. will put silver back to it's
one-twenty- nine basis.
Our population has very per-
ceptibly diminished during the
past few mon tbs, some going to
Houston copper belt, some to
"the Jacket gold zone, and 9th
ers farther out in the wide world
to "catch- as catch can" Verify
60-cent silver does not build cities
and populate countries.
We have had week of contin-
uous rain ON the Fork, with some
considerable amount of the ugly
on the mountains, with more to
follow.
The patrons of Prof. Hicks
have been predicting this man
ner of things for some time past,
so what is to be will be and it is
a waste of time to kick about it.
For two weeks past the woods
have been full of campaigners.
Both Pop. and Rep. candidates
have pretty thoroughly inter
viewed We honest yeomanry.
Every man you meet has cigar
in his mouth, while his breath is
laden with the sweet aroma of
the candidates button hole bou-
quette. There being no wayside
oasis on the Fork where the elixir
of long life can be set up for the
election, the candidate must of
necessity carry his lunch basket
with him, in which is always
found lusta deposit of old brand
luxuries. Come again, is the
voice of the multitude.
There will be about 65 votes
polled on the Fork, if the wealth
er is favorable on election day.
just how the vote will go is as
yet matter of conjecture, as both
parties claim majority. AS the
Denis. go so goes the election,
for here, as well as all over the
county, the Pops. and Reps. las
near as can be learned) are neck
and neck, with no bets on; and
whichever party gets the solid
support of the scattering Denis.
will come under the wire first.
So, you see, the poor, tabooed
Dem. party, with all it's rags and
tatters, carries with it power

M Mncmonics.

Mnemonics, or the art OF rendering
artificial aid to the memory by asso-
ciating in the mind things difficult
TO remember with those which are
easy of recollection, is OF very an
cient origin. IL is said to have origi-
mated with the Egyptians, but the
first person to reduce il to system
was, according to Cicero, the poet
Simonides, who lived 500 years B. G.
His plan is known as the topical, or
locality plan, and was in substance
as follows: Choose a large house,
with number OF differently fur
nished apartments in il. Impress
upon the mind carefully all that is
noticeable in the house, so that the
mind can readily 60 over all its parts.
Then place series OF ideas in the
house; the first in the hall, the next
in the sitting-room, and so on with
the rest. Now, when one wishes to
recall these ideas in their proper sue
cession, commence going through the
house, and the idea placed in each
department will be found to readily
recur TO the mind in connection with
it. 1t is related that the mnemonic
plan was first suggested TO the poet
by tragic occurrence. Having been
called from banquet just before the
roof OF the house fell and crushed all
the rest of the company, he found on
returning that the bodies were so
mutilated that no individual could
be recognized, but by remembering
the places which they had severally
occupied at the table he was able to
identify them. He was thus led to
notice that the order of places may
by association suggest the order OF
things Pittsburg Dispatch.

for their lives, and there were many
daring rescues. Nevertheless, more
than fifty persons were drowned
When the flood was at its worst
new horror was added. Tank after
tank OF petroleum caught fire, and
burst with awful roars. The fire ran
along the food, and swepv away
whole blocks OF wooden houses. How
many m,n and women were killed
has never been found out.
From Titusville the flood swept
down OIL Greek. The usually tiny
stream swelled to mighty river.
At dawn the inhabitants of Oil City
fled from their beds, only to be
caught in the rushing, swirling
waters. Many poor people lived on
the lower levels, and the river ran
around their portion of the city in
the shape of a bent bow. Block after
block was submerged. Such boats
as could be hastily found were used
in taking men and women and chill
dren from the upper windows of their
houses.
As yet there had been no fire at
Oil City. But hundreds OF thousands
OF gallons OF crude petroleum.
kerosene, distilled naphtha, and
benzine were floating down the food.
Many tanks had been burst by drift
ing logs, trees, houses, etc. Vast
quantities OF gas hovered about these
intlammable stuffs.
Some say that careless spectator
lit his pipe and dropped the flaming
match into the stream, and others
say that n spark from n locomotive
started the fire. At all events nearly
the whole surface OF the water burst
into flame in the twinkling OF an eye.
More than twenty men who stood on
by inhaling the surrounding flames.
Willis Stuart, James Rogers. James
Harkins, U. :. Terwilliger, John
Gordon, and Sam Terwilliger were
out In boats rescuing people from the
flooded houses. In an instant these
heroes, who had deliberately chosen
to remain ut work although they
knew their peril, were surrounded by
roaring flames. They dove over
board and swan deep under tho
burning surface, coming up now and
then to beat away the fire with their
hands, and breathe for moment.
Then they again plunged under and
mado for the shore, one hundred
yards away. How many times they
thus rose and sank no one knows.
Only John Gordon and Sam Ter
williger reached the land. The others
were burned and drowned. They
were all rs brave heroes as any
soldiers that ever lived.-[ Harper's

ers. the proprietors Of Atalantis could
order what they want from abroad
and then take of in small boat
from the steamer when she comes in
what they have bought without pay
ing tribute To the Government or
avoiding the Custom House inspec-
tors. Their floats will be large
enough for small ocean steamer 10
land at Atalantis, so dutiable goods
can be landed direct il il is preferred.
The Custom House laws allow any
one To bring into this country any
thing which is personal property, and
for ones own personal use. IL may
be easy in five years from now to sail
down TO Atalantis and buy Worth
dresses and wear them back TO New
York the next day without having TO
pay for the duty.
But, leaving all questions OF un-
usual complications TO be dealt with
when they actually come up, there is
little doubt but what Atalantis, or,
at least the first building of the new
colony, is a practical certainty. The
company which is promoting tho
scheme closed n contract with An
derson x Barr last Thursday for the
construction of the foundations and
superstructure Of the first building.
and the work of casting the hollow
cylinders for the foundations will be-
gin in few days.
One Of the features which Capt.
Patterson dwelt on in talk with the
Recorder reporter was the value OF
Atalantis TO navigation. At night it
will display, besides its thousands OF
little electric lights all over the build
ing, an enormous light in one of the
towers. as strong as II government
lighthouse. This, it is said, will be
seen before any of the shore lights or
coast lightships can be made out.
and bearings can be adjusted from
Atalantis. The new colony is only
a few miles south OF the regular track
of the transatlantic steamships, and
the great structure will be seen in
daylight long before the shore will be
visible. The first OF the buildings of
Atalantis will face the cardinal points
of the compass.
The Atalantis Company has al
ready adopted a national-or, if Mr..
Coen is admitted to be the king OF
Atalantis, royal-fag. 1t is
blue with red border and n white
star in the centre OF the blue ground.
Should it be annexed by the United
States, either by act OF Legislature or
by formal conquest, the single white
star might be added TO the already
well-hlled field in "Old Glory" to
represent the new State OF Atalantis.

A visitor at the Crow Creek Indian
agency In South Dakota, says that
the other day, as he was curiously i'm
specting the Indians homes, he
heard sound OF doleful weeping and
wailing proceeding from one of the
tcpees. He made bold to investi-
gate, and found an elderly squaw
seated on the ground with a blanket
thrown over her head, lamenting
most piteously. His compassion was
moved for her sad plight and sup.
posing that she was mourning the
loss OF some dear relative, he ven-
tured to express his sympathy. He
was presently enlightened as to the
true state OF the ease. IL appears
that White Ghost, the venerable head
OF the tribe, had just lost his wife, or
one Of them (hc had two), and he had
hired this woman TO bewail his loss,
while he went to another part OF the
reservation to bring his second wife
home. His mourning was performed
by proxy, which suits the require
ments OF the tribes social traditions
quite as well as doing 1t himself
tPicayune.

The idea of building a railroad on
stills seemed a wildcat" scheme
only thirty or forty years ago, yet to-
day the largest part of New York 5
local transportation is done over ele-
waited railroads. Many are found now
who say they would not dare TO live
in a hotel built on stills out in the
ocean, just as others said they would
be afraid TO ride on a train run over
tracks on stills, but they will proba-
bly, become used TO it as they have to
the other. The stability of the
structure will doubtless be demon
strated in a very short time after its
completion, while the danger from
storms seems very small.
