It. b. Rsed's Sarcasm.

PAWTgCI EFT, 4. l., Jan. ls,-The
Lincoln Republican Association entertained
this evening Hon. T. B. Reed, OF Maine.
and Hon. Nelson A. Aldrich. of Rhode
Island. Four hundred members of the club
and guests sat down to the banquet. Mr..
Reed, the principal speaker, received an
ovation when introduced He said in part:
That our revenues are less than our ex-
penditures naturally leads to a feeling OF
distrust and the Democrats have tried to
remedy it by having three sets of banks,
being a six-horse team on a rough road
have remedied this by making the revenues
as great as expenditures People take the
lowering of the gold reserve for
a lowering of the credit of
the country. Something might have been
seized on for an emergency for the purpose
of raising the revenues. such as on beer,
perhaps, and this might be done now. We
cannot do this work. The President is DEM
ocratic, measureably So and the Senate is
likely to be miscellaneous and the House
cannot do it alone. So far as helping the
Democrats out of their difficulties We will do
nothing. So far as helping the people of
this country we will do anything. ! am
utterly sure of the ultimate prosperity of
this country. Great is the United States of
America and the gates of Democracy shall
not prevail against it,

CALIFORNIA; Wet Season.

SAN FRANCISCO. JAN 19-For two
months rain has fallen nearly every day in
some section of California Not since the
winter of 1SS9-1S90 has the Pacific had such
q drenching. The snow in the mountains
has been extraordinarily heavy and only
unremitting efforts by the railroads have
prevented disastrous blockade. Rivers
and streams all over the State are bank
full and many of them have over1owed,
causing good deal of damage to roads and
property. The most serious floods have been
near San Diego. where large amount of prop
erty has been destroyed and two lives lost.
In other sections of the State it is believed
that the increase In crops, as the result of
a plentiful supply of rain will more than
compensate for the damage by floods. In
some sections if the rain continues. the
sowing of grain will be retarded, but the
San Joaquin valley, the great grain grow
ing district, has received the heaviest
drenching in years and the result will be big
crops The present storm, which lasted for
four days has apparently abated and things
are resuming their normal shape. Streams
are going down and trains are running,
though not on schedule time.

Guesses and prize..

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Assistant Attor-
ney-general Thomas, of the Postofiice De-
partment, has made some important rul-
ings governing offenses of a lottery nature.
In connection with newspaper notices the
department rules that it is immaterial
whether the result of a lottery drawing is
published as news without pay an
advertisement with pay. Newspapers con-
tanning the result of the awarding of such
prizes are nonmailable. The only exceptions
made are in the cases of newspapers pub
fishing such matter in order to expose the
concerns and crush or cripple their bust
ness, a policy which is held to be in line
with the spirit of the law In a decision
Judge Thomas says it is clear that the
lawmakers intended to make newspapers
nonmailable that contained matter concern
ing lotteries which is merely intended as
news for public reading.
The department also decides that the
awarding of prize to the person guessing
nearest the number of seeds in water
melon would be lottery, though the
guessing OF the weight of a melon would
not constitute lottery IL the guesses were
made after the melon had been lifted The
award of prize to one suggesting the num-
Der OF beans in a clear glass bottle set in
plain view is also held to be a lottery.

Texas Cotton Palace Burned.

WACO Tex Jan. 19.-The Texas cotton
palace was destroyed by fire tonight, caus-
ing loss of between $4,000 and 600 to
the palace association. The exposition
closed early in December and the enter

was to have been reopened this year. Ow-
ing to the highly infiammable material of
which the exposition hall and large audi

from the time of igniting, the structure
presented a dismal mass of ashes and

be reconstructed. The loss has caused gem
eral regret.

A writer in the Ohio Merchant in
describing the banana says: THE
average tree produces four punches
wear but all are not marketable
This is a mistake; the banana plant
never bears but one bunch OF fruit
When the fruit is removed the stalk
hearing it Is cut down by stroke Of
a heavy knife. Other shoots which
continually spring up from the root
will each bear fruit in turn, but never
but one bunch. II properly culti-
yated, each bunch allowed to mature
should be marketable, although II
.'suckers" be allowed to come up in
discriminatory and in great numbers
the resulting punches of fruit will be
small Only certain number Of
suckers should be permitted to grow
at one time, though it is only by their
growth that the crop is prolonged
year after year without replanting
The banana having no seed is neces-
sa lily propagated from r OTIS or ''eves"
as they are called. In best locations
a banana crop may he harvested
within ten months from planting,
and if the suckers have been properly
trained the harvest thereafter goes
IN continuously.

VOYAGE TO SUNDERLAND.

She sails away on the sea of dreams,
This little skipper with eyes of brown,
AS the firefly's torch in twilight CLEANS,
And the garnish sun goes down;
Her bark floats over she grimy town
To Sunderland and its silver sea;
The spotless folds of her slumber gown
Are no whit fairer than she.
There are angel birds in the warm, still afr,
And the skipper laughs with her eyes OF
brown,
As they sing to her old songs, sweet and rare,
While her bark pillows up aud down;
They sing of prince Of high renown,
And princess ever so young and fair;
But where is the princess had ever a cruwn
Like the crown of her soft brown hair?
Cometh a storm over the silver sea,
That ebbs on the dreamer's land,
And the angel birds fade out to the lee
OF this singular slumber strand;
l. there harbor by angels planned,
From all storms, whatever they be,
From the wicked fairies of Sunderland
And the waves in its silver sea?
Up, like a flash, comes the little brows
head,
And the brown eyes only see
A billowy blanket of silk outspread
On an ocean of dimity;
But it's fearlessly the skipper will flee,
With n soft little barefoot tread,
by the chart she learned on her bended
knee,
To the haven of mothers bed.

and he was hailed before the vice e-ci:aE-
cellor, who happened to be a Scotsman.
After q severe lecture had been read

The return trip was made after dark,
and the train sped along at a fearful
rate of speed. The excursionists were
all in jolly humor and were at the
height of their festivities, when the
frightful shrieking of the locomotive
whistle startled everybody. The train
came to full stop, and among those
who rushed out were the mayor and
marshal of Blue Rock.
At the head of the train they fOunC
the engineer and conductor talking
with man who held one hand to hi,
side, from which the blood was stream
ing.
"Great God! 1t is our tramp!" ex
claimed the marshal.
"You are right" said the mayor
"My poor fellow, what is the
matter?'
The tramp fell in a fainting-fit be
fore he could answer this question.
"You see," said the engineer, ..this
nan was tramping through the woods
when he came to the track and found
;wo train-wreckers tampering with the
rails. Well, this tramp, or whatever
he is, jumped on the scoundrels like a
tiger. He disabled one of them, but
the other stabbed him in the side and
ran away. See, he built fire on the
track, and as soon as saw it stopped
he train"
Just then several passengers came
ID with the wounded wrecker, who
,ad been seriously injured by the
ramp.
The villain evidently thought that he
was mortally wounded, for he made a
full confession.
81 think" said the Blue Rock mayor,
.'that we owe debt of gratitude to
our preserver. Many men in this fix
would not have turned over hand to
Eave u.s."
The poor tramp opened his eyes and
smiled family.
"Did you know we were on the
rain?" asked the marshal.
"Oh, yes: l saw you when you went
up the road this morning, and | hung
about here because l saw those two
chaps acting suspiciously.
"Come now, who are you and where
is your home?" asked the marshal.
81 am a gentleman. | have forgot
ten my name and all about things that
happened years ago. l can tell you
nothing more"
"By George!" said the mayor, 81
believe he tells the truth"
awe must take him to Blue Rock
and care for him." said one of the
party. "He shall have the freedom of
the town and the best there is in it,
"Thank you," said the tramp, with
4 smile, 81 am satisfied now"
a spasm of pain contracted his feat
ures.
\ gasp, fluttering of the breath
and the unknown was dead.
Tramp or gentleman, who was he
and what lay back of his misfortunes!
These were the questions that the
Blue Rock excursiOnists asked eacs
other ON their way home.
