Of the Senate.
Sr. PAUL, Jan. 25.--Considerable in
terest has been manifested in the elec-
ton Of president OF the senate, who
viii practically be lieutenant governor,
to succeed d. M. Clough. The names
of Senators Yale of Winona, Stevens of
RaaassHy and Day Of Martin have been
mentioned, and it is probable that the
choice Of the election will fall to the
latter, as it has always been precedent
to elect the senior senator for this posi-
ton and Senator Day is now serving his
third consecutive term in the senate.

THOSE bonds we're sold to a foreign
syndicate because they could not be
sold in lump to Americans. They
could have been offered for sale, of
course, but that would have been tax
ing chances of failure in placing a
sufficient quantity to supply the gold
needed, which the President and his
Secretary Of the Treasury did not care
to do. Besides, the President and all
the members of his cabinet believe it
much better to get this gold from
abroad than from our own people.
Those who are criticislng the admins
traion because this gold was purch-
ased abroad would have been the first
to jeer had an attempt been made pub
licly without success to purchase it at
home. The administration has done
the best 1t could under existing laws.
Congress is to blame for not changing
the laws.

"A Startling
Admission.
In New York City, for five con-
secutive years, the proportion
of Deaths from Consumption
has been three In every
Twenty Persons.

Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and
other diseases of similar character, so ter
rible in their results, occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful consid-
Grafton for their prevention and cure, while
consumption receives scarcely thought,
yet the number of their victims sinks into
insignihcance when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength, lose
color manifest feeble vitality and ernacia-
ton, or develop a cough, with difficult
breathing, or hemorhage. Cod liver oil
was for a long time given in all such cases,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its nauseating taste has led
many practitioners, as well as the public at
large, to place their main reliance in DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t de-
serves early attention and will prove effect
ual not in every case but in large percentage
of cases, and we believe that fully 90 per
cent. of all cases sofconsumption of can, iftaken
in the early stages of the disease, be cured
with the Discovery" Dr. Pierce does not
ask people to believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. Apamphlet has
been published having the names addresses
and photographs of large number of those
cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering
coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and
kindred maladies which will be mailed free
to those sending for it with their name and
address upon postal card, or you can have
a medical treatise, in book form of 100
pages, mailed to you, on receipt of address
and six cents in stamps. You can then
write those cured and learn their expert

Babies and Babies.

remember very we'll when Charlie,
my Oldest, was a baby he was simply
angelic. I was sometimes tempted to
pinch him, just to see if he could cry.
He slept hour after hour and always
awoke with smiling face and a cooling
voice. And I, silly young thing that I
was, plumed myself on what an excel
lent mother / was and felt deep con-
tempt for all mothers Of crying babies
But was doomed to Lave fall. When
Willie came, don't think there was
ever more sensitive bunch of nerves
existed. He cried, it seemed to me, con-
tinually and woke from his fitful slum-
bers on the lightest pretext, and I was
ready to run to the gate when / saw
visitors coming to apologize for what
I had said in the past and to ask them
please to walk softly. then learned
that there are babies and babies. and

do with q child's temperament. "-Wo-

A PHENOMENON.
Tiffin House That Exhibits Elec-
tricity Without Apparent
Cause.

One Of the most peculiar things
that has ever come to light in
this city is the presence of electricity
in the front room of DR.. H. K.
Hershiser's residence, on Monroe
street, in this city, says Tifiin special
to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Any one
touching a metallic substance in that
room, be it the chandelier, stove or
trimmings on the piano, instantly re-
ceives such an electric shock as to al.
most knock him down. The instant
the hand touches the metallic sub
stance the electric snap is heard and
the electric spark as from dynamo
is quickly felt. People have been
focking to the Hershiser home for
several days to witness the peculiar
phenomenon, A person holing his
finger within an inch OF another per-
sons face would see spark and feel
a shock as if he had touched the
stove. An individual putting two
Singers together on either side of a
chandelier gas jet would quickly light
the goes. The cause Of the presence
of the immense amount of electricity
can only be surmised. Some attrib-
ute 1t to possibly some electric subs
tance throughout the apartment. Some
say that electricity is always more or
less present in a room in which the
floor is covered with moquette carpet,
but as this room is covered with in.
grain carpet it MAKES it the more
strange.

TAURUS IN A NEW ROLE.
Untoward Results of Substituting Bull
For q Horse In "Mazeppa."

Untoward Results of Substituting q Bull
For a Horse In "Mazeppa."
Jim Larkin was noted character of
Cheyenne in the seventies. Larkin was
one of those harmless oficious fellows
and had his nose into everything There
was never dog fight but in some way
he got bitten, never fire but he got
burned, and never an accident but he
was there in time to get hurt. Larkin
was something of Snowman. During
his residence in Cheyenne colored ira
gedian filled an engagement in that city,
playing "Hamlet" and "Othello."
Larkin saw in the colored man great
opportunity to make money and induced
him to play "Mazeppa, using wild
bull instead of wild horse. The TRACE.
dian fell into the idea, and rehearsals
for the great event were had. The per-
formance was given in large hall,
which was crowded to the doors.
The play went off lovely until it was
time for the wild bull of Tartary to be
brought on, and then there was slight
hitch. The bull had suddenly become
reluctant about going on the stage. Man
ager Larkin got behind him and gave
the animals tail twist It had the de-
sired effect. The bull rushed upon the
stage and tore out every foot of scenery.
and then jumped off into the orchestra
landing on top Of the slide trombone
player.
The audience stampeded and jumped
through the windows and doors, and in
a very few minutes the bull had every
thing to himself. The "Mazeppa" en-.
gagement closed that night Anaconda

THE SNAKES AT The zoo.

An event has occurred at the 200.
Very high among Hiarvels We rank IT.
There's reptile residing there who
Accidentally swallowed his blanket.
Bet that story has now become old,
and that feat surpassed by another.
There's snake still alive, we are told,
Who by accident swallowed his brother.
One would think such an odd mental fit
or abstraction-excuse the suggestion
Would be followed up after bit
BY tit Of Scute indigestion.
And, moreover, although one pretend
To be free from eternal sensations,
Still rupture o - IL attend
Such a straini9H q trieRdly relations
But there's nc such result we can find,
Though the former has swallowed the lat
ter,
So we say it's a triumph Of mind
Or absence Of mind over matter.
Should there still at the ZOO be q snake
Who may wish that the record be beaten,
He must swallow himself by mistake
And pretend not to know what he's eaten.

MONEY MAKING.
Eha Quickest Way to Pile Up Wealth In
This RusfncEs Era.

This Business Era.
The reason Of the modern differences
In favor of business as an instrument Of
money making is not far to seek. 1t is
the enormous growth in the scale Of ev-
erything in which business can be done.
The enterprise Of a merchant, of con-
tractor, of a mine dealer, even Of shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world
and may be carried on, moreover, main
ly upon credit. It may be doubted
whether, except in those transactions
which are called financial, and which
really mean the taking of heavy bribes
for pecuniary support, any one transao-
tion ever yields quite as much as the
same transactions would have yielded
60 years ago; whether, for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal
margin of profit, or whether any Gus
toner in a shop pays quite SO heavy a
percentage on the goods he buys.
1t is the magnitude and multiplica-
ton of cargoes which yield fortunes,
the thousands instead of hundreds of
customers whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money. The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, precisely
the same thing-the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage of scale is
almost entirely wanting to the profess
sional man, for the obvious reason that
he is hampered by limitations of time.
There are only 600 minutes in hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
come, be he as able as he may or as de-
cided or as rapid, must give some Of
those minutes to each client or patient
or contractor with q difficulty to meet.
If he does not, he loses custom, and
with custom income rapidly slips away.
There are no doubt favorite lawyers,
doctors and even engineers whose ad-
vice is sought at great expense, when
equally good advice is procurable much
cheaper, but still the favorites must give
their advice and lose their days in doing
it, or they will speedily be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, while
the exaggeration of professional fees is
kept down in the case Of solicitors by
positive statute, in that of doctors by an
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be no reason why great
physician should not charge according
to skill-and in that of barristers and
engineers, by competition, which,
though never acknowledged, is none the
less real and effective. We can not see
what is to alter this condition of affairs,
and do not believe that. however civil
ization may develop itself, professional
skill will ever again be the quickest
road to large aocumulations. London

CLEVER AMERICAN MECHANICS.
Their Ingenuity In Woodwork Attractin
Attention In Foreign Coantries


Their Ingenuity In Woodwork Attracting
Attention In Foreign Coantries.
The mighty advance in wood working
machinery in the United States has
evoked surprise everywhere In Amer
lea the idea is to make everything of
wood without hand labor. automatical-
ly where possible. This desire has been
SO successful that it is rare exception
factory is found employing handwork.
Every known description of woodwork,
out of every kind of wood, is made en-
tirely of machinery. Many of these ma
chimes are veritable wonders, perform
ing their work with a readiness and &C.
curacy that excite the most profound at
tention. Some of the English experts
say of them that they are the best ex-
amples Of ingenuity ever produced, but
of a lighter construction than the Eng
lish make. But one must bear in mind
that American iron, when cast into
form, is very much tougher and hence
does not require SO much of it to give
their machines strength and solidity.
This is hardly true of English iron, and
in consequence their machines contain
a great deal more weight in iron and
consequently look more massive, but by
experience it has been proved oonclu-
sively that the latest improved Ameri-
can machines are just as strong and just
as capable in durability as those made
by the English makers.
Progressive English manufacturers

ally waking up to the fact that if they

through necessity, to employ the later
and more economical methods to pro-
duce their manufactures. To do this
they will have to turn to the Ameri-
cans, much as it may be against their
inolinations. American furniture, made
entirely with machinery, is now getting
a foothold in England and attracts the
admiration of English buyers not only
for its beautiful designs and finish, but
for the superb construction, and lastly
it can be obtained at a moderate price.
Other articles of wood for domestic
vehicles, agricultural, building uses,
etc.. are fast creeping in to the disad-
vantage of the English manufacturer.
Indeed wherein the American manufac-
turer succeeds it is only through the use
of machinery, and therefore the Eng
lishman, in order to protect himself
from encroachment, must adopt the
American idea by using American ma
chinery, for is it not fact that the
Englishman is behind the times in get
ting "up to date' wood working ma
chinery? If this statement is not COR
rect, show us the fallacy of it. Machin-
cry saves time and labor, consequently
money. Cincinnati Commercial Ga

MUSIC HATERS.
Some There Are With IN Aversion to Har-
mony's Sweet Strains.

Some There Are With an Aversion to Har-
mony's Sweet Strains.
No greater mistake can be made than
to imagine that all royal personages are
necessarily musical. True, there is
large number of melomaniacs among
them, one of the most conspicuous iE-
stances having been the late King Louis
of Bavaria. But, on the otner hand,
there are not few who are entirely de-
void of any ear for music and who even
dislike it.
Thus Emperor Napoleon III was ex
ceedingly averse to melody of every kind
ana character, while his uncle the first
emperor, complained that the sound of
music used to jar or his nerves and TO
give him headache
King Humbert Of Italy is equally de-
void Of ear, simply loathes the sound OF
instrumental music, and has SO little
notion Of what is false and what is
true note that the most efdcacious threat
that ne can use when he wishes to in
dace his wife to stop playing on the pi-
ano is the declaration that he will com.
mence to sing.
The great Empress Catherine of Rus.
sia used to say that, no matter how she
wished to appreciate music, the finest
harmony and the most celestial melodies
sounded to her ear as buzzing noise.
l have more than once discussed with
eminent aurists in Germany the causes
of this absence of what is known as the
ear for music. They attribute it to one
of two causes-either to cerebral de-
ficiency or to defect in the drum of the
ear. Strangely enough, one drum will
sometimes be thus affected and the 9th
er not, and they cited the we'll known
case of famous scientist to whom the
sound of music was source of neurotic
trouble and even downright agony un-
til one day he happened to stop up one
ear with cotton wool, when for the first
time music became to him source of
pleasure and even delight.
A king who objects to music is King
George of Greece, whose pet aversion is
the national hymn of the country over
which he reigns. No matter where the
unfortunate man goes, either at home or
abroad, he is compelled to listen to the
strains of this melody, which is invaria-
bly, struck up in his honor, and have
been frequently amused by observing
the look of positive anguish upon his
face when the band began its work. -

Frenchmen with English Wives.

It is curious fact that, notwithstand'
ing the strong prejudice which the
French entertain toward Britain and the
British, the French gentlemen have a
decided preference to British ladies
when they mean to marry. An English
man visiting Paris is surprised at the
number of English ladies with French
husbands whom he meets in society. If
British lady Of passable appearance re-
mains long unmarried in Paris, the pre-
sumption is that the fault is her own.
1t is worthy of remark. on the other
hand. that Briton resident in Paris
very rarely marries French lady
