A Foreign Consideration OF the
prophecies of anarchy In America.
In 1857 Macaulay foresaw what
is happening now in the United
States. In II letter to- one Of his
American friends he said:
1T is clear rs the daylight that
your Government will never be able
tn hold under control Il suffering
aud angry minority, because in your
country the government is in the
hands Of the masses. and the rich,
who nre in minority, r absolutely
at their mercy. A day will come IN
the state Of New York when the
multitude between half br. akfas,
aud the h"pr Ut half a dinner will
elect your legislators. Is IL possible
to have any doubt Of the kind Of
Irgisl ,tnrs that will he ~-ltc,rd?"
After speaking OF the political up

about confusion in the states, Macu.

In a Runaway Accident.

Mrs. Andrew Hall Meets Her Death
In a Runaway Accident.
On last Friday afternoon Mrs. An
drew Hall and her nephew, Martin
Clementson, left Richland for the
home Of the former. Young Clement
son drove the team-a span of colts
and hitched to the first wagon was
another one. After having reached
the neighborhood of w. II. II. Fate's,
the colts became frightened and began
jumping about. This frightened Mrs.
Hall, who, woman-iike, dropped her
parasol, which fell between the colts,
making matters worse. In her fright
she tumt,led out OF the wagon, the
wheels of the second vehicle passing
over her head, t%racturing her skull,
from the effects Of which she died On
Saturday morning.
The deceased was AZ years Of age
and leaves no children, her husband
being IL well known farmer near Rich

name, will go to her husband, inso-
much as there are no other heirs. The

A FEW INTERVIEWS.

L. Steinau-What are my political

a democrat. But l don't belong to
any party now. The democratic con-
gr.ss don't satisfy me. The Wilson

are protected, but wool out here goes
on the Tree list. In other words, the

When the Ohio is Most Beautiful.

To the artist, the silvery, shrunken
Ohio, winding feebly between green
and everlasting hills, is a charming
spectacle, worthy of a transfer to
canvas and subsequent hanging in a
favored place in the home of a pur-
chaser.
But to the practical Pittsburger the
swollen, turbid, oil-stained Ohio, career
ing to the Mississippi through bleak
landscape of snow-sprinkled hills, is a
sight far more attractive than any
afforded in midsummer.
For the larger Ohio bears on it's
muddy breast the deep-laien coalboats
whose contents are not more needed by
New Orleans or Memphis than the
money the coal represents is needed
by our river operators and shippers.
These regard the Ohio as most low
able stream, when, after months of
picturesque idleness, it arises in its
might and boasts of ''twelve feet"
If our local artists wish to make a
painting of Ohio which will be salable
to coal skipper, they must portray
the stream with that number of feet,
with the tawny name of swirling
water and procession of coalboats
heading for the Sunny South. A "coal-
boat" it might be added, is one that
requires ten feet of water to float it,
and is helpless to reach the lower
markets on q stage of water that will
let out coal Charge. "-Pittsburg

An Ige of Wonders.

This is a wonderful age we are liv-
dng ina wonderful age, and this'is a
wonderful codntry. 1t is doubtful if
amy of the effete Old World dynasties
can produce such things, bordering on
the miraculous, as are becoming al
most everyday occurrences in this land
of the free, says the Erie Herald.
A few days ago the press dispatches
announced that some fellow out in
Missouri had discovered coal. There
was nothing so remarkable about the
fact that coal had been discovered.
The remarkable feature of the case is
that this particular quality of coal
emits no smoke when burned. IAc-
cording to the report, you could build
fire of this coal in the centre of your
parlor floor and be unable to find q
particle of smoke in the room. In the
words of Colonel Mulberry Sellers,
"there's millions in it..
But this truly strange case is per-
haps outdone by one which is alleged
to have recently occurred in the salu-
brious climate of California. The
veracious chronicle states that some
thirty years ago one John Bahler, then
residing in Wisconsin, lost his eye.
sight and subsequently had both eye
balls taken out, the end of the optic
nerve being. left as stub in each case.
Right here is where the wonder comes
in. Don't miss it. About year ago,
at his home in Fresno, Mr.. Bahler sud-
denly saw the light of lamp placed
opposite to him on the other side of
room, and the examination showed
: that new eyeballs were growing on the
ends of the optic nerves.
Since that time his sight has grad
ually improved, until now he can
shoot rife with considerable accu-
|racy.
Indeed, this is a great country, and
isn't anywhere near developed yet.
Carp milk COWS and steal chickens and
green corn right here in Pennsylvania,
but the boundless West contains still
greater possibilities than the East, and
If old Europe can produce any such
wonders or special newspaper CORE
spondents let her trot 'em out.

A Remarkable Somnambulist.

One of the most remarkable and
puzzling stories of somnambulism has
recently come to light. The subject
was young ecclesiastic at seminary.
The bishop of the diocese was so
deeply interested that he went nightly
to the young mans chamber. He saw
him get ont of bed, secure paper,
compose and write sermons. On fin-
ishing page he rend it aloud. When
g word displeased him he wrote cor
rection with great exactness. The
bishop had seen beginning of some
of these somnambulistic sermons and
thought them we'll composed and cor
rectly written. Curious to ascertain
whether the young man made use of
his eyes, the bishop put card under
his chin i'll such a manner as to pre-
vent him seeing the paper on the table
before him, but he still continued to
write.
Not yet satisfied whether or not he
could distinguish different objects
placed before him, the bishop took
away the piece OF paper on which he
wrote and substituted several other
kinds at different times. He always
perceived the change, because the
pieces of paper were of different sizes.
When piece exactly like his own was
substituted he used it, and wrote his
corrections on the places correspond.
ing to those Of his own paper. 1t was
by this means that portions Of his
nocturnal compositions were OBJ
sained. His most astonishing produc-
ton was a pieco of music written
with great exactitude. He used a cane
for a ruler. The clefs, the flats and
sharps were all in their right places.
The notes were all made as circles,
and thus requiring.it were afterward
blackened with ink. The words were
all written below. but once they
we're in such very large characters that
they did not come directly below their
proper notes, and perceiving this he
erased them all and wrote them over
again. News.

TO CLEAN CARPETS AT HOME.

It is often the case that accidents
happen when one is fur away from a
cleaners, or when perchance the car.
pet may not be worth the expense OF
the professional services, but would be
extremely useful if put in good order.
A simple and effectusl means of clean
ing is to rip the breadths apart, if the
carpet is large; take one breadth at n
time over q common kitchen table or
wide board and scour with prepared
soapsuds, if necessary, or naptha. If
that substance is to be used, scrub the
carpet thoroughly with an ordinary
scrub brush. If the washing is done
with soapsuds, it is we'll to rinse the
carpet thoroughly, which may be done
by throwing on pailfuls Of water and
scrubbing it out with the brush TO rid
the fabric Of the suds as nearly as may
be. If the carpet shows symptoms OF
fading, or if the colors threaten to
run, it is quite worth while to go over
it again and again with the brush and
with soft cloths and remove the water
as rapidly as possible, meanwhile hav-
ing the broad table tipped at all angle
80 as to allow all surplus water to
drain away as quickly as it can. Thif
is rather slow work and hard work
but if well done, the result will be q
carpet entirely cleaned, perfectly
wholesome and quite good enough for
nm upper room or for the rugs and
pieces that are required in every
house. New York World.

TO FOOT STOCKINGS.

Here is "a good way to foot stockings.
Taking the worn-out sock, fold it on
the seam, and where the heel merges
into the leg begin to cut, and keeping
half way between the two edges, cut
off the under part. then cut open the
heel seam, and, spreading out the part
cut away from the stocking, make a
paper pattern from which to cut out a
new bottom of cloth. Fold this to-
gether in the middle and stitch to.
gether the rounded edges for a new
heel, then, unfolding, stitch the new
bottom into the stocking, holding the
former toward you, as on account OF
the room for seam and shrinkage,
which of course, was allowed in cut
ting the pattern, it will be larger than
the stocking. Woolen or cotton stock
ings past wearing should not be thrown
away, as often one pair is nseful in
mending another.
