Don Oameron,s grafton.

George Alfred Townsend tells a
story about Don Cameron on the
authority of a former United
States Senator that would prob
ably never have got out of secret
session but for the assurance that
the seal of secrecy is removed by
the statute Of Limitation. 1t was
in an executive session Of the
United States Senate when the
confirmation OF an appointee who
was a friend Of Senator Cameron
was under consideration. There
was one Senator who disliked
Cameron and who always opposed
his appointees. On this parti-
cular occasion this Senator made
speech an hour long, able and
fluent. Cameron arose to reply
The act Of standing on his feet
seemed to palsy his tongue. He
uttered two sentences, perhaps
then turned upon his adversary
with clenched hands and said
"D-n you! II / could speak a.

you lied" 1t is needless to say

and he showed me how to make
them, by taking a piece of glass

after the stone is broken, according
to the size OF the stone, either for

more delicate the point the small

In 1888 saw the klamath Indians

Cremation in France.

The practice of cremation
is increasing in France, but in
creasing very slowly 80 far as the
general public is concerned. Ac-
cording to some recent statistics
published by the Paris project Of
police, the number of cremations
of private citizens at the PEREZ
lachaise Crematory from August,
1889, to the end OF April, 1895, was
as follows: 1889. 40; 1890, 121; 1891

not for the remains from the
hospitals, which amount to from
2000 to $500 bodies per annum.
The apparatus employed is that of
MN. Toisoul and Fradet, and
works by means Of gas with a re-
cuperator. Incinerations are &C.
complished in an hour or at most
an hour and quarter, and the
cost OF the combustible never ex-
ceeds 3 francs per operation. An.

Like the first, it consists Of a gazo.
gene furnishing oxide OF carbon

air to the vaulted chamber in
which the reduction to ashes takes
place. The difference between the
two appliances lies chiefly in the
application. of the oxide, which is
used solely for heating the recurer.

would send silver up at least to 50
cents per OF. III prices followed
logic, wheat would 60 up with
silver, and so would all other
staples. But prices do not, being
held down by agencies of which
we have no precise knowledge, but
which form a main part OF the
strength which the consumers have
shown in their battle against pro-
ducers. There is the point towards
which the silver party should dir

It's prosperity MOI dependent on

In a recent editorial on the
causes which produce general
prosperity in this country while
others are suffering from financial
depression, the Two Republics says
that the persistent assertion in
many American exchanges that
Mexico is prosperous because OF
silver money is misleading al
though it is not incorrect. Money
has been forced TO manufacture for
itself, and its money remains at
home, and its unemployed labor
finds work that is more remunera-
tive than the cultivation OF the
soil at the wages paid by hacien-
dado. But Mexico exports very
little and the articles are staples
which cannot very well fall in
price. Coffee and cacao cannot be
initiated by experts Of chemistry,

Mexico were to attempt the Guilt

is. The gentlemen who dream
such dreams Of future production
generally attempt to carry them
out in the northern states of this
country and come across obstacles
which they did not anticipate, but
OF which perhaps Mexicans are
fully aware. Americans who are
always for doing things on colos-
sal scale, and whose products are
always raised with an eye to the
markets of the world, have not
realized the risk OF such policy,
and still believe that the present
prices for staples are exceptionally

things would 60 up, simply because
the value of the money has gone down.
Therefore. while free coinage OF sill

else, since nobody wants, deprecated
money when the best is to be had.
Every man who works for wages
wants the best sort of dollars that are

others who sell the products of their
land and labor. If there arc several

than the other, all working people, if
they have common sense, want the
best dollar that is made.

it to be so full and free an exposition

A New Railroad.

Information has been received at
Glendora. Miss, to the effect that the
Pabst and Schlitz Brewing Companies
have completed the organization of a
railroad company under the laws OF
the State Of Mississippi. The name OF
the new company is the Mississippi
and Northern, and the officers are
given as follows: Gustav Pabst, presi-
dent; Alfred Uihlein, vice-president;
August Uihlcin, treasurer; Il. l.. Phil
lips, secretary.
Mr.. Phillips was formerly connected
with the Chicago and Northwestern
and lived in Milwaukee, Wis. The
Mississippi and Northern Company is
now operating a railroad from the
midst of an oak forest OH the Talla-
hatchie river. 1873 miles south of Mem
phis to Phillips City, the new town
that the big brewing company started
last year on the Tallahatchie, in the
midst of their 10000 acres of timber
land in Tallahatchie county purchased
a few years ago from Fuller Bros.
In speaking Of the Mississippi and
Northern recently, President Pabst
said: ''In the near future the road
will be extended to Charleston, Miss.
the county seat, forty miles or more
distant. Charleston is in the midst of
a fertile cotton belt, has no transpor-
tation facilities, and the city itself is
not on any railroad AS fast as we
can cut the tim ber off our land along
the line of railroad we rent the land
for cotton raising. and in this way, as
by the extension of the railroad. we
expect to develop the resources Of that
part of the State and greatly increase
It's population and prosperity, as well
as the value of the lands"
The Pabst and Schlitz Companies
have one of the most magnificent
plants in the South at Phillips City,
and they are shipping thousands OF
slaves to their big brewing establish
ments at Milwaukee.
