People Pleased Over Washburn's

rife as to the probable outcome of the
senatorial caucus Friday evening. 1t
was generally conceded by Saltwater
people who had become acquainted
with the situation that Washburn would
not be the choice of the caucus, and the
result is evidently gratifying to very
large majority. The sentiment here is
divided largely between Nelson and

Reduced to the Ranks.

Different ideas exist in England from those prevalent in Germany with regard to the attitude to be adopted by soldiers toward escaping prisoners. Whereas Emperor William some time ago aroused much unpleasant com ment by promoting a corporal who had shot at and killed in crowded street an escaping prisoner, at Wool rich a sergeant and a corporal have just been reduced to the ranks and sentenced to a months imprisonment for having discharged their carbines, without injury to anybody, in public thoroughfare at a deserter who had broken away from them.

Men of Strong Nerves and the Beings or

 The simple faith of the Norwegian peasants is that the seeing or not sec ing of beings of the other world is a mere question of strong or weak nerves. Only reversing, says All the Year Round, the generally accepted belief. it is the Northman of strong nerves who has power to see the un- seen. And he who sees it fears it not If you have the gift" says my in- formant, ''you may see dozens and scores of forms pass your door, but you know not what it is to feel alarm. ;
 There's a ghost on every ship says the same authority. My own uncle, who saw the unseen plain from his childhood. was married to woman who could not believe in spirits. He had a fishing smack of his own, and saw strange things of nights. One night he asked her to go out with him, and she went. If I see anything will call for you,' he said, and she agreed to it. Tn the dark middle of the night he could see three men come walking on the water toward the little vessel. He went and called his wife, saying:
 "'Looll out now; do you see noth- ing?'
 "'No,' said the wife. T see nothing but the water and the darkness

4 snub-Nosea Regiment.

In the Russian army there is one particular regiment of infantry of the guards formed by Emperor Paul, the men of which are recruited, not so much with regard to their height or the color of their hair and complexions as to the shape of their noses. Elm peror Paul had typical Kalmulz nose of the most eXcruciatingly up-tilted pattern, and since then, out of com pliment to him, all of the officers and men of this particular regiment have noses of the same shape, the sight which they present on parade being somewhat startling.

CHEAP RENTS.
How the Railroads Have Affected Branch es

of Old Mobiles Business.
 A portion of the glory of Mobile, Ala, departed when, after years of la bor, the railroads from the north were able to surmount the difficulties pre- scrted by marshland and bayou and continue their lines to New Orleans.
 This affected certain branches of the business of the city materially, prac- tically running the heavy trade in re- shipping merchandise at Mobile to New Orleans, leaving giant warehouses tenantless and docks to rot and become grass grown.
 The extent of the depreciation in value of some of the shipping property can be inferred from the following ob- servations of recently returned com mercial traveller.
 h walking through one of the old streets recently h" saw on the ground floor of a huge five-story warehouse the striped pole and the sign Of barber shop anI boot blacking establishment. Walking in to have his shoes polished he inquired of the proprietor how much of the building he rented.
 "All of it," replied the man.
 ''What, all of this immense build ing?" asked the drummer in surprise. "Why, how can you afford it? What do you pay for it?"
 ''Fifteen dollars month," was the answer. II use only what I want of it, but my lease covers the whole prop erty."
 Inquiry from merchants of the city confirmed the mans statement. The class of property had become absolute ly useless by the altered conditions, enabling the barber to secure for if teen dollars month building which formerly rented for thirty-fve hundred or four thousand dollars year.

 The valuable whales have about al disappeared from the North Pacific Behring and Cl1hotsk seas 10 longer contain them, and the Arctic ocean i: the only recognized whaling ground left. There are but fifty whalers now ahoat in tho western ocean, while { half century ago there were six hun drcd such ships.

Fol three seasons one of the whalers has not secured single whale, while one crew captured twenty-one whales in the summer of 1891.

, COUNTRY TOWN EDITORS.

Some Reasons Why They Are Nearly AL
 ways Poor ana Unpopular.
 Although country editors are nearly always poor, there are plenty of per sons who believe that half the para graphs in country newspaper are paid for with enormous bribes, writes the author of "A Country Town" in the Century. There are always two sides to every question, and whichever side an editor falls on the partisans of the other accuse him of being bought" 1t is little wonder, therefore, that the editor is seldom popular man; never knew one who was, and I never knew one who was not often accused unjustly
 Probably the people believe in bribes to editors because it is a very rare editor who does not accuse his opponent of being bribe taker, creating preju- dice against themselves and their call ing. Lazy and incompetent editors nearly always explain the success of their more vigorous opponents by de- claring that they carry on g system of blaclzmail. 1 once visited in large city the newspapers which 1 had long admired almost with reverence, and was surprised to hear a citizen say that what the city really needed was better papers; they would bring eastern cap ital" Every citizen of a country town wants his locality 'boomed," to the end that he may sell his ffty-dollar lot for five hundred dollars; he can appreciate how a really good paper might aid him in this, and because his lot does not ad- vance in value as he thinks it should he has grievance against the editor. He longs for an editor with some ''snap" in him. don't know what ''snap' means, but I know this is the quality usually thought to be lacking There are more great men in every country town than really exist in the entire nation. and if they are not recognized the local papers are of no account. was once bothered good deal by a certain man who said he could clean more chickens in an hour than any other chicken cleaner in the world and he wanted the fact mentioned. Men who are never suspected of greatness by other people accuse themselves of it to the editors, and when they refuse to mention this greatness they are told that their columns contain great deal of stuff not half so interesting. It has occurred to me that when citizen of a country town becomes drunk the first thing he does is hunt up the editor and tell him what is the matter with the community. ---.---.--

Great Britain In India.

Great Britain has been stretching her wings over India. In 1S42 she laid claim to G36,0OO square miles of that country. She made additions to this every year except 1S43, 1845, and 1852. down to 1856, when her possessions aggregated 35G,OO0 square miles Ad- yances were made in 1866, 1882 and 1886, and now the area of India under British rule is 927,Ss7 square miles. British India is larger than all that part of the United States lying east of the Mississippi river and its popula- ton five times as great as the present population of this whole country. Great Britain may not be able to acquire much Emore of India. Indeed there is likely to be difficulty in retaining what she has, with native dissatisfaction and the watchfulness of her aggravating enemy on the north, who in the last forty years has moved his boundaries over many degrees of latitude.

Sixty Miles of Locusts.

The African Steamship company's steamer Winnebah, which lately ar rived from West Africa at Liverpool, had a most unusual experience when steaming between the attitudes of Cape Verde and St. Louis, Senegal. For sixty miles the vessel steamed through locusts, which were so thicl1iy packed together on the top of the water that they completely covered the surface for miles around. Indeed, they appeared to be lying on the sea as far as the eye could reach. The loeusts had no doubt been blown from the Morocco coast into the sea. They resembled gigantic grasshoppers, and one which was secured was five inches in length. Of course, all of the locusts had been drowned.

WOMEN TRAVELLERS.
An Interesting Reflection on Feminine
 Human Nature.

Human Nature.
 In England and on the continent there are on all trains coaches labeled ''ladies only," in addition to the or dinary and smokers carriages. As a usual thing these compartments, in- tended for the use of timid women travelling alone, are carefully avoided, and on the continent it is not unusual to see women crowding into the smolz- ing carriages, while the 'ladies only" are almost empty. A woman who travels a good deal tells why she thinks this is so. Her reasons contain an interesting reflection on feminine human nature.
 ''When I travel,' she said, ''I like to be as comfortable as possible, and that one cannot be where only women are. All women are selfish, but they seldom show it before men, more especially if the men are strangers; with their own sex, however, they have no such con- junction. If one wants to put few umbrellas or hat box on the rack it is generally so full already that it is no easy matter to do so. No hand is stretched forth to make the necessary room. If corner seat is wanted a woman is not likely to give up her place to another woman, whereas in a compartment where the sexes are mixed there is sure to be some gentle man who will move his things to ac- commodate a lady, and even give up his seat to her if she requires such a sacrifice. Then there is the window ot danes seules compartment; if you happen to want it down a little the other occupants will want it up, and vice versa; but in another carriage, in nine cases out of ten, if you are wom- an you can generally manage to have your own way about the window. couldn't travel in a ladies only car riage on any account. Indeed, I would sooner get into smoking carriage"
