The Menken and Dickens,

A little book is associated in the oldest way with Dickens-"Infelca," by Adah 1saacS Menkcn. It is dedicated to him, and the authoress printed facsimile of his letter acknowledging the compliment. These verses are sought by the bibliophiles, and arc essential for any complete collec- tion, the book fetching about e2. I have heard Dickens relate in his richest comic manner tho incidents of this introduction. The lady at one time was tho talk of the town from her performance of Mazeppa, when she appeared bound to her untamcd and fiery steed-of course very pliant, well broken quadrupcd-in the airiest of raiment.
 Boz" was one night seated in the stalls, looking on, when her business manager Q Yankee, stood before him with pressing invitation from the fair and massively built equestrienne to como round and sec her. The cmissary in the usual nasal tone, represented that this meeting was the dream of her (the equestrienne's) life The author politely waived off the inter view, deprecating the compliment but the manager returned with more pressing insistence, and Boz" had to yield. He gave humorous sketch of his interview and the lavish incense that was offered to him. ''The dream of her life' was still insisted on, but unluckily have forgot ten the details. The lady had literary in stincts, and her verses arc full of fire Sometimes, we are told, they have been ''attributed to Swinburne."

 Years Ago Kept a Tollgate.
 In early Saxon times names of persons and of families, which are aggregations of related persons, Were derived from two sources: First, from personal qualities, physical characteristics or profession, and, second, in the case of important person ages, from the names of their homes or estates. Readers who are familiar with the writings of Sir Walter Scott-more particularly those of his tales whose sub jects are Scottish-will remember that he is given to calling many of his characters by the names of their estates or holdings
 When he had once referred to person as the Laird O Tullietudlem, the Laird O Dumbiedykes, the Laird O Garscaddenn, and so on, he is in the habit of dropping the earlier part of the expression and speaking of them simply as Tullietudlem Dumbiedykes, Garscadden, etc. This prac- tice is carried on in Scotland even at the present day and was universal in Saxon and Scandinavian countries centuries ago It is to this practice of naming persons and families from the estate or holding that we are indebted for tho words Hohen. zollern, Brandenburg, Hapsburg, Bruns wick, etc., as applied to reigning dynas- ties Of Conrad, the first person of the Hohenzollern family to whom history dcigns to give notice, Thomas Carlyle, in his Frederick the Great" has given an exquisite description. He says:
 1t was in those same years (about 1160- fo) that stout young fellow, Conrad by name, far, far of in the southern part of Germany set out from tho old castle of Hohenzollern, where he was but junior and had small outlooks, upon great er- rand in the world. Hohenzollern lies far south in Schwaben (Suabia), on the sunward slope of the Rauche Alp country, no great way north from Con stance and its lake, but well aloft, near the springs of the Danube, it's back lean- ing on the Black Forest. It is perhaps definable as the southern summit of that same huge old Hercynian wood which is still called the SchwarZwald (Black For tesD though now comparatively bare of trees. Fanciful Dryasdust doing little etymology, will tell you that Zollern is equivalent to Tollery, or place of tolls, whereby Hohenzollern comes to mean High or Upper Tollery, and gives one the notion of antique peddlers climbing painfully out of Italy and the Swiss valleys thus liar, unstrapping their pack horses here and chaffering in unknown dialect about toll. Poor soulsl it may be so, but we do not know, nor shall it concern us. This only is known; that a human kindred, probably of some talent for coercing an archy and guiding mankind, had, cen lturies ago, built here and done that func- tion in small but creditable way ever since.
 The original Hohenzollerns, therefore, seven centuries ago were leyiers of toll at some gateway or pass on a high roadway of the Alps, and the staying quality of the race is shown by their survival in an un- broken line to the present emperor of Ger many, Wilhelm II, more than 20 genera tions in lincal descent from ancestor Con- rad. .-Brooklyn Eagle.

4 absurd Arguments.

Some Democratic labor acitators are
trying to make capital out of the fact
that the salary of Mr.. Pullman was not
reduced when the hard times came on
last year, although the wages of his
employees We're. When President
Cleveland was elected the country was
prosperous, and work was plenty, and
wages were good, and his salary was
fixed at $4,000 a year, house rent,
servants, fixtures, etc. free. He at once
began the task Of cutting off the work
supply and the reduction of WAGES.
Did he have his own salary reduced
with the others? Not at ALL He draws
his SO, 600 year, drinks his imported
wines, smokes his imported cigars and
goes fishing, while thousands of his
subjects are walking the streets beg
ging for crust to sustain life. Now we
are not asking President Cleveland to
reduce his salary fifty cents on the dol
lar and give his fishing abilities to his
country for $4,000 wear, but such a
demand would be fust as honorable.
just as reasonable, and Just as fair as to
ask Mr.. Pullman to reduce his salary
one-half, or any other sum, because
through the illadyiSed administration Of
Mr.. Cleveland and his party, hard
times have been forced upon the
country. Try to be honorable and hon
est, gentlemen, in your examination
and discussion Of these questions.

VIII Build Al Railroad.

Daily Leader.
1t is said that the Land & River I'm
proycment company officials Of New
York have sent a man to Europe to
float bonds with which they will build
railroad from Superior to Omaha.
They already have ftty-one miles
built south from Red Wing known as
the Duluth, Red Wing < Southern.
This runs to Iumbrota, from which place
they will build to albert Lea and from
there south to Fort Dodge, Britt and on
10 Omaha.
The line that is already built will CON
meet with the Minneapolis & st. Louis
at Albert Lea, which will give them
very close connections to Omaha. This
will bring Omaha seventy miles nearer
by rail to Superior than to Chicago,
which will be the cause of bringing all
OF the lake traffic here instead of Chi
cage. The same day that the Barge Co.
officials met there the officials Of the
Land company held a meeting in New
Gosk, where the scheme was coucocted
and man sent to Europe.
This has been the plan of the Land
company for some time and the line has
been surveyed. They have secured OPP
tons on the several connecting lines be-
tween here and Omaha and as soon as
the money can be raised they will pro

Tariff Reform TIadO Easy.

From The New York Tribune
The iiouse-Free sugar and nothing
for the Trust
The Semate-For:y per cent on all
sugar and schedule dictated by the
Trust.
The Presidential is a delicate ques-
ton, and We ought not to DO evil that
good may come; but surely it is Dem
ocratic to tax sugar, and the talk about
the Trust is quite exaggerated. Better
trade off free sugar for free coal and
iron.
The Senate-It is the German BILL or
it is no bill.
The President-What difierential do
You give Trust? One eighth? Make it
one-iifth and monkey with the schel-
u,e until nobody can understand it ex-
cept refners skilled in underyaIuations
The House-But you are giving the
trust more than it had the hardihood
10 ask from Senator German.
The Prcsident-Never mind. We
ought not to be driven away from the
democratic principle and policy by the
fear that we may be indirectly and in
ordinate!y encouraging a combination
/ fsugar-reffning interests.
The House-Well we consent to trade
off free sugar for free coal and iron.
The Scnate-It is the German bill, or
! it is 10 bill
The House-BUt as the President has
said, apparent that this question of free
raw material does not admit Of adjust
/ ment on any middle ground. since their
subsection to any rate Of tariff taxation,
! great or small is alike yiolative Of Dem
ocratic principal and Dem ocratic good
faith. How can we face the people
I after induIging in such outrageous dis
elimination and violations Of princi-
pies?
The Senate-Let US split the difference.
! You can have free iron, now that the
Alabama election is over. We must
have the duty on coal for five years.
The president-WhatI said about
party perfidity and party dishonor was
meant in Il Pickwickian sense. | have
| been annoyed by the scandal about the
! Whitney coal syndicate
The Senate-It is the German bill, or
it is no bill.
The House-We'll trade off free sugar
for free iron. Let us get together as
Democrats.
The President onsecrated to the
Peoples Cause Of Tariff Reform, and
all our campaign debts to the Sugar
trust paid off.
The Senate 1t is the German bill, or
! it is 10 other.
