OUR TREATY WITH ENGLAND.
Was Written on Cheap Paper and
Tied with Blue Ribbon.

Tied with Blue Ribbon.
The first thing was to get from
the king OF England statement
that he and his ministers were will
ing formally to acknowledge Amer
lean independence. When this was
done three American commissioners
went to Paris, in order to be upon
neutral territory, and there they
met one David Hartley, who had
been named by the king to repre-
sent Great Britain. Each spent
some time examining the others
credentials to see that they were
treating with the right parties.
When finally satisfied upon this i'm
portant matter, they took few
sheets of common and rather coarse
white paper, nine by fifteen inches
in size, and folded once, and at he
top of the first page Of it they wrote,
in coarse and crude hand: ''In the
name of the most holy and undivided
Trinity"
Writing in unbroAen lines across
the entire page, on both sides of the
paper, and frequently referring each
TO the other as high mightinesses, y
these commissioners filled nearly
four sheets of the paper and at the
end they signed their names. David
Hartley signed first, and he placed
his name away up in the left hand
corner, just under the last line OF
the text, where it appears almost
crowded off the paper by the names
OF the American siGners, John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin and
John Jay.
They tied the sheets together with
some very narrow and very CHEAP
blue ribbon, the ends Of which were
fastened to the paper with patches
OF red sealing wax. This wax they
needlessly burned in placing it just
at the left OF their signatures.
This is the definite treaty OF Yer.
sai.les, now yellow and faded. BY
it Great Britain formally renowned
all claim to the thirteen origina
states. These four sheets OF chear
paper, with their high might
nesses," their most potents," ant
their faded blue ribbon, constitut,
the official close Of the revolutionary
war. -Harper's Magazine.

The Times is a newspaper for iuteli.
gent men and women who want to read
all the news of the world every day.
The paper has distinguishing merits Of
its own. 1t is neither sensational nor
dull 1t is not sour-tempered. 1t tells
of the bad when it must, but not un-
wholesomelv. 1t prints with fullness
the recor! of human endeaeor in many
fields outside of business, politics. and
warm literature. religion, science. art
sports, and hon sehoid matters. No pa
per in the country prints so many book
reviews and so much book news. No
paper has so complete financial page
"a daily manual for investors and Off
GERS of financial institutions. It's mar
ket reports-wool, cotton. breadstuffr
farm products, &c.-are the rest in the
country.
The Democracy of THE TIMES is OF
the old fashioned sort--as old as Thos

machine tyranny, the divorce ST poll
tics from private money-making. 6
sound currency, industrial emancipa,

SLEEP REFORM.
The Man Who Tried 1t and the Way
L Worked.

u worked.
Col Henry Watterson, who is at
present lecturing in the largercities,
tells story Of an old compositor,
whose life lad been given up to hard
work and the following of eccentric
ideas, one of which was that the
human race slept too much. He had
several theories to advance in sup
port of his idea, one Of them being to
cut down the usual number of sleep
ing hours by graduation and finally
arrive at state where, by practice,
one would be satisfied with a much
smaller amount Of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence in his
theory he began TO practice the new
idea as follows: He usually slept
nine hours. He explained that
ne would cut this down a half
hour for each week that passed
until he had reduced his number Of
sleeping hours to two, which he
claimed was all that was needed by
anyone.
The time went by and the old fell
low Lad kept to his rule laid down
and finally reached the twO-hour
time.
lie went along for several weeks
sleeping but two hours daily, dcvot-
Ing the time gained in reading and
advocating his idea While there
was noticeable decrease in his
weight, he seemed to stand it very
wei.
Then he began to talk of further
reducing the time, and, when en-
thusiastic, talked of the possibility
of one doing without sleep entirely.
He set type and was an old hand
on the paper. One morning, about
three weeks after he had reached his
low sleeping mark, the compositor
at the case next to his noticed the
old man had dropped his h cad upon
his arms that were folded over the
case. 1t was near quitting time.
All the forms were up and the old
chap was not disturbed. He had
gone to sleep. The Office was soon
deserted with the exception Of the
janitor and the sleeper The janitor
was instructed not to bother him.
The next day when the first maa
arrived he was still sleeping as they
had left him ana snoring so hard
that he Jared the type in the case
on which he rested.
Some one told his wife where he
was and she concluded to let hin
sleep.
He slept ON in thai position 70,
twenty ho""s. Thcn they carrict
him to bed Al home, still sleeping
He slept for thirty-two hours, aas
when he woke up he had for
gotten how TO set typo and had. t,
learn to read again, although his
memory was good in other respects

similc for q political situation, which

A GIGANTIC Monopoly.

The Great Northern-N Northern Pa
cific deal continues to be conun-
drum. A good many people, who are
in position to know, assert that it
will be only few days now before
Jim Hill will have control of the
N. P, his last trip to New York being
for the purpose of completing the de-
tails of the deal. If this be true, he
is liable to run against much larger
obstacle than before. And that is
the laws of the State of Montana.
Gov. Richards, of Montana, seems
determined to prevent the consolida-
ton at all hazards. He stands
ready, and will call an extra session
of the legislature the moment it is
certain that Hill secures the North
ern Pacific There is no doubt that
if this deal is effected it will be one
of the most gigantic railroad monop-
olies in the world, and give them con-
troll of the entire Western trade. The
merchants, jobbers and farmers, ship
pers and buyers, will be completely
at their mercy, and bled to death. A
few more governors like Richards
would be a blessing to the country,
aud death to monopolies.
