Must Have Felt Dissipated.

81 do hate said the Ordinary Man IN Black
and Whie, TO read two different and con
Trajectory accounts OF the same thing. This
morning 1 to1ght two papers and neither
would lot me believe the other. 1 mean the
story OF the bricked-up families in Paris.

tacts agree For some reason or other land
fora considered he had the right to build up
inc entrance to the staircase; so when the
tenants came back they had 10 effect an en-
trance by the window. IL must be awkward to
come home at night and ind that you have
mlslald your staircase"
For the matter OF that remarked the Mere
Soy, 'One has heard OF men who have come
nome at night and found they had mislaid the
entire house. But then those men have dined.'
II must have Ieen difficult said the
Journalist, for those tenants to have believed
themselves entirely innocent when they came

expected a staircase"
Yes the Mere Boy said, Il can imagine
them gazing perplexedly at that wall and muir
ulurlng that blsqUe always did upset them like
mat. Insy viii have felt still worse when
lhey found that it was not the bisque nut an
absolute fact. It must be Impossible to CLIMB
INTO ones own house through the window and
yet feel that one Is not dissipated"

Kept Ahead of the Train.

The morning express on the Bangor and
Aroostock from Houlton had a race with a
moose the other forenoon, says the Boston Her
aid. Between Inland alls and Crystal about
thirty miles out Of HoultOn. the engineer saw a
huge Moose on the track, watching the APP
preaching train and evidently undetermined
whether to derail it or jump of and let it go
about It's business. The engineer blew sue
ceSsion OF sharp blasts with the whistle, and
TINS the moose evidently took for the word go
for race between himself and the train. AT
any rate, he turned and, with the train not
more than dozen rods from him, he started
down the track. The train was moving at the
rate Of forty miles an hour but the moose few
like the wind and kept his distance. The pas
Sengers heard the warning blast of the whistle
and knew that something was on the track but
not until the train reached Crystal station
did they learn that they had been racing with
4 moose
For quarter OF a mile the big animal kept
up the almost incredible race necessary to
keep ahead Of the train, and then, as if salts
fed that he had convlnt ed his competitor that
there wasn't anything in the steam engine line
that was coming into Aroostock and do hun in
a sprinting match, he left the track and plunged
INTO the woods without SO much as looking be-
hind him.

1t is astonishing what kind of argu-
ments(,) the free silverites use in their
endeayors to back up their demands. Here
is one from North Georgia exchange 4:
Cotton is lower than it has ever been; so
is silver. The prices of wheat arc rogu-
lated By the price of silver, because the
nations which are our agricultural com
petitors are stiver-staudard nations. The
East Indian farmer still takes an ounce of
silver (2}3 rupees) for bushel Of wheat,
for with him silver has not Deprecated to
any extent. Consequently the farmer must
take the gold standard price of an ounce of
silver for his bushel of wheat, or not sell
Free coinage of silver would do much to re-
store S1OO wheat and IL or 10 cent cotton. >,
Had this appeared in populist newspaper
nobody would have thought strange. But
it appeared in democratic paper, a paper
that should know better Out of regard for
its reputation, the name Of tho publication
is withheld.

To Keep Out the Devil.

Every we'll person, says the New Orleans
Picayune, when he yawns puts his hand over
his mouth, but not many Of them know how the
custom clme to be considered the proper thing
to do. The fact seems to be that it is the sur
Vtval Of supersutious hadn't originating in
Europe in the middle ages, or before. In those
days IL was commonly thought in Europe that
the devil was always waiting about for an OPP
portunlty to take possession of man. and
that he must get in by the mouth. When the
person whom he had selected as his victim did
not open his mouth wide enough for the purpose
within a reasonable time, the devil made him
yawn, and while his mouth was stretched wide
jumped down his throat. So many cases of this
kind occurred that the people learned to make
the sign Of the cross over their mouths in or
der to scare away the devil. The peasantry in
Italy and Spain still adhere to this method but
most other people have dispensed with the
cross sign, and keep out the devil by simply
placing the hand before the lips. 1t is a most
remarkable survival OF the practice after Its
Significance has DeriShed.

The Kind Of a scheme it Is.

Speaking CT the clamor OF the free silver
organs for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of IL to /, the New
York Sun says: The truth is, that the
restoration of the silver standard is a
scheme for robbing creditors for the bene-
fit Of debtors and for nothing else. Nor
would it affect creditors alone Every
Garner of wages would, until after much
striking and struggling he had got his
wages raised, be able to buy only half as
much of the articles he consumes in daily
life as he buys now; and every savings
bank depositor would find his little ac-
emulation of savings practically cut in
half If this wrong is to be perpetrated
let it be done without disguise, by reducing
the value of the gold dollar, and not under
the cloak of restoring the free coinage Of
silver"
We quote the foregoing for the purpose
of showing wage-earners what would be-
fall them if the country should be forced to
a silver basis, and silver should become the
standard of value. They would have to
pay double what they do now for every
thing they bought, and they would find it
| difficult, if not impossible, to get even
small increase in their wages. Indeed, it
| would be impossible to make any general
! increase in wages; because the profits of
| employers would not be increased. Rail
road commissions, for instance, would not
! permit an increase in railroad rates-hence
! the earnings of railroads would be no
! greater. But the cost of railroad supplies
would be almost doubled. In fact, the rail
roads would not be able to pay as good
wages as they do now. That being tho
case, how would railway employees fare if
the cost Of living should be doubled2 And
yet wage-earners are among those who are
favoring the free coinage of silver Evil
IDENTIFY they don't understand their own
interests.

The Next House.

| While il is about certain that the House
Of Representatives Of the next congress
/ will be democratic, the personnel of the
/ body will be greatly different from that of
/ the House of the Eifty-third congress.
/ More new faces viii be seen than has been
! the case for many years. And some of the
! faces that viii be missed will be those of
men who have been prominent in congress
for a long time Among these are Breckin-
ridge of Arkansas, who is minister to Rus
STA; Oates Of Alabama. who has been
elected governor Of his state; Sweet of
Idaho who is trying for the senatorship;
Gear Of Iowa, who has been elected to the
Senate; Breckiuridge of Kentucky, of
whom the least said the better; Bryan of
Nebraska, who is chasing a senatorship,
and Kilgore Of Texas, Stockdale of MIssis-
sippi aud Cockrell Of Texas. II IS calcu-
lated that 10 per cent. of the congressional
nominations are yet to be made; hence it is
possible that more of the heretofore promi-
nent figures in the House may be cut out
on or before election day.
Considering the changes that have been
made by democratic constituencies, Ala
bama, with nine seats, has nominated three
new men; Maryland, with six seats, has
named three new men; Kentucky had on
oct. l named five new men in the seven
nominations made; Virginia will send four
new men, North Carolina will send three
South Carolina will send two, Georgia will
send one, Florida will send one, Texas will
send three, Delaware has nominated a new
man for her single seat, West Virginia will
send one new man, Mississippi one and Ar
kansas one. ~...
OF the northern constituencies that are
at present represented by democrats, two
of the four in Massachusetts. two of the
five in Michigan, four of the eleven in
Ohio, four of the ten in Pennsylvania, and
two of the eleven in Indiana win be repre-
sented by new men. 1t seems that the
democratic representatives in the north
have had better luck at winning renomina-
tions than the democratic representatives
in the south. In the north and west the
republicans have nominated about as
many new men as the democrats
So far as has been learned by the con-
gressional campaign committee at Wash
ington, the nominations made will not ma
terially change the standing of the House
on the silver question. Democrats who
voted for the repeal of the Sherman law as
well as democrats who voted against il
have been dropped, or in a great many in
stances the persons who have been nomi-
mated TO take their places hold virtually
the same views on silver as do the men who
bave been put aside.

that the senator is "a walking medicine

man, but it is asserted that he is suffering
from Bright's disease and that his physi-
clan has ordered him not to take an active
interest in politics 1t is certain that he is
permitting the control of his party in Mary

however, may have no foundation. The
senator is a very temperate man in every
