One day last week a young native of
Maine came out Of the woods-presuma-
bly, the same woods that Tom Reed has
been hiding inland started down to Bos-
ton On the road he met a nice young
fellow in city clothes, and they straight
way became friendly The nice young fell
low in city clothes was just out of money,
but had lots of it in the bank at Boston:
would the young man from the Maine
woods do him the favor to cash a check
for $50? The proverbial down-ea ster
would have refused. But this young man
from the woods was not of that kind.
He fished up his wallet and counted out
$50, and felt grateful to the young man
in the city clothes for taking his money.
The check was signed "Trilby." and the
young man from the woods was told, and
believed, that that was the name of a
great and rich banker in Boston, who
would honor the paper promptly. At last
advices the confding constituent of Tom
Reed was looking all over Boston for
Trilbys bank.

A Washington special says that reports
received at the state department from the
United States consul at Victoria, b. c..
are to the effect that the seals in Bering
sea are practically exterminated. If this
information is correct it is a severe com
mentary on the eminent statesmen of this
country and England who have spent years
and a vast amount of money to find some
practical method for the preservation of
the seals. While they were wrangling
the poachers were securing the sealing
grounds killing the seals. Even before the
eminent statesmen have decided what they
are going to do about 1t word comes that
there is no occasion for further squabbling
because there are no seals to squabble
over
England was greedy to have all the seals
for the benefit of her own subjects and
the United States insisted that their
right to the seals was superior to that
of every other country. If wise policy had
been pursued the supply of seals would
have continued indefinitely. The United
States were getting the benefit of most
of the skins while England was getting
a big profit out of them because they
were prepared for the trade in her tan
neries and shops. Now neither will get
anything more. Even the occupation of
the statesmen who devoted much of their
time to the seal question is gone.

If the Chicago and Philadelphia detec-
tives are not careful they will find out
too much against Holmes. They claim
to have already found evidences to show
him guilty of some eight or ten murders,
and they are not yet through following
up clews. They have discovered enough
bones of his alleged victims to run a
button factory for time. and are stin
digging for more. 1t transpires. however,
but not through the detectives. that that
notorious Chicago Castle" in the cellar
of which so many bones have been found,
is built upon an old graveyard, and the
chances are that the diggers have been
disinterring the remains of persons who
come to their death in a natural manner
and We're given Christian burial, and lay
ing their death at the door of the man
in jail at Philadelphia.

A movement is on foot in Louisiana to
effect a fusion between the populists and
the republicans. 1t is probable that in
Louisiana the populist ranks are made
up of former democrats who were demo-
Gratis because they were opposed to CEN
tralzation. high tariffs and bounties, and
who left the Democratic party not he
cause they have ceased to be opposed to
those things. but because of their impa-
thence. and because times have been hard
for two or three years and the populist
party fraudulently claimed that it could
make them better by a short cut to uni
versal affluence. The Republican party in
Louisiana at present represents govern
ment paternalism if it represents any
thing, hence possibly the best thing that
could happen for the Democratic party
in Louisiana would be an attempt at flu
sion between the populists and repub-
licans. 1t would bring many good ex-
democrats back to their senses, and send
them once more into the democratic fold.

Certainly my fathers stable was sight
for sore eyes. a series OF rectahsu-
lar holes in the wall of the courtyard
formed the managers, to which the horses
were secured by head ropes; the heels OF
each animal were also fastened by ropes
of black camel-hair to big IRON pm
driven into the ground behind 1t. Each
OF them was covered by a light woolien
sheet and they were all eating away as
though for dear life. IL being early sum
uer when. as my father Informed me,
ALI horses are fattened on grass for
couple of months, and do little or no
work
Their was great heap OF freshly-cut
green barley, and boy was busily oc-
cupied in cutting this into pieces some
three inches long by means OF sort OF
w-edged sickle. AS soon as horse had
emptied its manger it would look around
at the head groom who was seated on
a brick platform in the middle Of the
stable-yard, and neigh; then the head
groom would address IL by its name, and
say. afrect,onately: YES. my soul. you
shall be attended 10 Immediately; then
he would call 10 a second boy, who would
fill the animals manger with the freshly
cut green barley grass.
'Inis goes Gu all day and all night,
Madge," said my father, with laugh;
none OF these animals get any gram,
and they couldn't grind it If they did.
for their teeth are temporarily blunted
by the perpetual munehing of the green
barley stalks. Each horse will eat
mule-load of it I'm the twentyfour hours,
and they are all as fat as pigs, as you
shall see. Now is the horses annual
holiday" and then, by my fathers or
ders, the beautiful creatures were strip
ped one after the other. and / confess
that / had never seen horses so fat or
with such shiny coats before. But not
one OF them stopped eating for an in
slant. and the long tails never ceased
switching and twirling and brushing of
the flies In a scientific manner. They
never cut horses tails in Persia, they
would consider IL cruel; and the long
tails. most OF which almost touch the
ground, certainly add to the animals
appearance.

The only columbarium in America has
just been completed at Cypress Lawn
Cemetery Such building is a more or
less necessary adjunct TO every crematory.
and is a sort Of storehouse for urns con-
tanning the ashes of those who have been
incnerated. The name Of the building is
due to the dove-cote inches in which the
urns are placed, and which line the in
terror walls. This building IS only IS
feet square and A. feet high. but IL repre-
sen;s an outlay Of $4,000. 1t is built en-
tirely OF granite, with a dome roof or
iron frame covered with terra Gotta TIL
ing. In the crown OF the dome there Is
skylight, and through II and the iron
gate all the light to the interior Is shed.
The floor Is mosaic, with large bed OF
Of flowers in the centre. In one corner OF
the building there is a bronze staircase
rising TO a gallery which runs all around
the building, and so affords access TO
the upper tiers of inches. There are alto
gether 1000 urn receptacles, but the
building Is so planned that wings can be
built and the capacity greatly increased.
The urn inches when filled are closed by
a bronze door, which also serves the pur-
pose of name-plate. To this door the
