WISE WORDS.

A rogue is a roundabout fool.
A full Jail is better than an empty
one.
Gossip is generally desire to get
even.
A drop OF ink may make million
think.
1t is rare man who can do favor
delicately.
You seldom admire q man you see o
great deal of.
Rank and riches are chains of gold,
but still chains.
1t is not hard to forgive lie told
with good intent.
One drop OF scandal will spread over
a whole life time.
What we place most hopes upon
generally proves most fatal.
Everything man likes to do a
woman can prove is wicked.
The man who knows the world and
is not n cynic is usually fool.
An evil intention perverts the best
actions and makes them sins.
In the meanest hut is romance, if
you but knew the hearts there.
The fools are not all dead yet, and,
what is more, they never will be.
Every human heart ought to be
bird cage with a singing bird IN it.
OF all virtues justice is the best.
Valor without it is common pest.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the character of your thoughts.
The wise man expects everything
from himself; the fool looks to others.
The people pay more for love than
for any other necessary evil on earth.
The more friends business man
has the more things he sells below
cost.
The trouble with most peoples
economy is that they don't save any
money by it.
The younger woman is the more
indignant she is when she hears of a
bad husband.
1t is all right to vote for the conn
try's prosperity, but you must work
for your own.
What is birth to man if it be a
stain to his dead ancestors to have left
such on offspring?

A Partyless President.

President Cleveland occupies a
strange, but not an unusual position.
He is q Chief Executive without
party behind him. He is no longer
the head of the once great Democratic
organization, for majority of his
past associates-the men who worked
and voted for him two years ago-re-
gard him as q political pariah. In
New York, every follower of Hill is,
by virtue of that fact, foe of Cleve-
land, and at this time the followers of
Hill in this State are in sympathetic
harmony with the Democrats through
out the country.
Mr.. Cleveland stands with his Cabi-
net alone. He has still the power to
appoint and remove certain officials of
a certain class, but there it ends. To
be sure he has the veto prerogative,
but as the legislation of this session of
Congress will have to do only with
appropriation bills and such matters
of routine, he will hardly dare toshow
his power by stopping the wheels Of
Government.
In the history of government there
have been but two presidents who
found themselves in the same position.
The first was Tyler, who was en- acci-
dent, and the second was Johnson, who
was an accident and misfortune.
Mr.. Cleveland in no way resembles
his unpopular prototypes. He has
opposed his party, but he has not at
tempted to Taylorize it. johnson
simply went back on his pledges, and
returned, in the languages of the
Scriptures, to the Democracy of his
early days "like dog to his vomit OF
q SOW to her wallowing in the mire, y
If Mr.. Cleveland ever had day OF
usefulness it is in the past. He is q
President without following For
the remaining two years of his term
there is nothing left him but to per-
form his perfunctory duties and draw
his pay.-New York Advertiser.

How Horses Sleep.

When the horse sleeps, one ear is
directly forward, why it is not known.
A naturalist thinks this is to guard
against danger, being survival OF
their original wild habits. He says
"Watch a horse asleep through the
window of his stable, and make faint
noise to the front. The ear will be oil
attention, and probably the other will
hy round sharply to assist. Now let
him go to sleep again, and make the
same noise on one side. The forward
ear will keep his guard. with possibly
lightning flick round, only to re
sume its former position. New York
Dispatch.

A Remarkable Fall of Stone.

M. L. Fletcher, all English mineral
ogist, tells of remarkable fall Of
stones which took place ut some early
date in the history of Mexico. He
describes fourteen huge masses in all,
and advances the very likely theory
that they originally formed single
meteoric mass that was shattered by
the intense heat engendered while
passing through the earth's atmos-
phere. The fragments of this immense
meteorite are scattered over section
OF country sixty-six miles in length
and-twenty-two in width, and it is es-
timated that its total weight was but
little short of 10000 pounds. One
piece of it, now in the National Mu.
scum at Washington.-Atlan nta Consti-

Says the Electrical Review: In
1891 a young electrician, now in
Paris, on looking through Carnegie's
great steel rail plant at Braddock,
Penn, casually suggested that elec-
tricity could be made to operate the
widely separated pieces of machinery
at saving of many thousands q year.
Recently Andrew Carnegie visited the
plant for the first time in two years
and saw electricity doing the work.
This improvement, together with
Others, makes it possible for eight
men to do the work 500 did in 1891.

THE TELEGRAPH.

The darkness and the silence lie
Between your soul and mine,
Like some great river rolling by
Beneath night of stormy sky,
Where not star may shine.
But, as beneath the sullen brine
Twixt lands of kindred speech,
There runs slender, living line
Der which there flash, by lightning sign
The thoughts OF each to each,
So, meath the parting food OF death
There runs living line
OF steadfast memory and faith,
OF love not born for mortal breath,
Between your soul ana mine!

Democratic Currency Tinkering.

The ultimate object of the Demo.
cratic currency tinkers is to drive the
country back to the old system OF
State banks, under which the value Of
a note depended very largely upon its
distance from the concern that issued
it. Back of all the tinkeriny. arguing
and theorizing of the currency quacks
lies q determined and ill-concealed
purpose to destroy the present Nati-
enal banking system and replace it
with a scheme that will unbalance tho
existing safety and equality of tho cir
culating medium and develop specula-
tion in bank notes into iourishinS
