A prominent ex-Democrat

A prominent ex-Democrat of this
county; one whom the Populists
have now got was heard to re-
mark that the result in Maine was
the strongest argument yet produced
for the election of Bryan; that
Maine, like Vermont, is state of
money-lenders, and it simply shows
how the eastern monied men were
set on expressing the masses. The
gentleman either never visited Maine
OF Vermont, and never took pains TO
read about them, or else he was try
ing to mislead his hearers and give
them little fat consolation. The
fact is, the people of Vermont are
almost entirely engaged IN agricul-
tural pursuits. It has only two cities,
and neither of these has population
of over $4,000. The people of

Bryan's whole campaign lives upon
the prejudice which he and his fol-
lowers are endeavoring to create
against capital. Do he and his
friends forget that capital is as es-
sential to labor as,labor IS to capital,
and that nothing will drive capital
out of active employment so quickly
as the sentiment they are trying to
create? Every man in the United
States today, outside of the silver
mine owners, or those who are in a
position to reap direct benefit by
depreciating our currency, and are
dishonest enough To take advantage
of such position-who has accumu-
lated capital is protesting against the
election of Bryan. Capital has been,
ever since the Chicago convention,
and is now, going out of circulation.
Should the condition which IS now
only feared become reality. the
United States will experience such
hard times as that even the period of
Cleveland's administration will be
looked back to as the 'sgood old
times"

An Austrian Samson.

Joseph Pospischilli, a convict re-
Gently imprisoned in the Austrian
Fortress Of Glen, surprised the whole
Empire by his wonderful feats of
strength. One of his tricks was to
add a fifth leg to a common table
(placing the useless addition in the
exact centre) and then balance it with
his teeth while two full-grown gypsies
danced on it, the music being fur
nished by yiolinist being seated in
the middle of the we'll balanced plat
form. One day when the prison in
which this Hercules was confined was
undergoing repairs, he picked up a
large carpenters bench with his teeth
and held it balanced aloft for nearly
a minute. Since being released from
the Olney prison, Pospischilli and his
cousin, another local ''strong man"
named Martenstine, have formed a
combination and are now starring
southern Europe, performing all kinds
of startling feats of strength. Among
other things they have had 30-foot
bridge made of strong timbers, which
is used in one of their great muscle
acts This bridge is the oldest ever
constructed, having two living piers
--Pospischilli acting as one and Mar
tenstine the other. Besides support
ing this monstrous structure weight

and will steam away from the Port
Richmond piers on her long voyage
to Novorostisk, Russian seaport on
the Black Sea. The engines are
among the largest ever built by the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, weighing
81 tons each, and have special fire
boxes for burning petroleum. The
tenders hold the oil instead Of wood
and coal. Five of the tenders will be
carried on deck, and the shippers have
so much confidence in the Turret
Bays steadiness and stability even in
the most severe weather that they
consider them as safe slowed outside
as in the vessels hold.
The passage will be straight across
the Atlantic to Gibraltar, and thence
through the Mediterranean to the
Black Sea, over 5000 miles in direct
course. The steamer will be obliged
to make several stops for bunker coal,
which will lengthen the passage.

A Rough Road.

The gun carriage that survives the
test given it before its acceptance by
the ordnance inspectors of the Ger
man army need not fear the emergen-
cies of an actual campaign. Near the
arsenal of Mandau, track has been
built, covered with all sorts of OBJ
stacles.
1t is in imitation of bad roads at
one part, is crossed by ditch at
another, and there are realistic imita-
tions of mountain passes and ravines.
The motive power is a cable, to which
the gun-carriage is attached and then
started through the ordeal, officers
running alongside and noticing the
behavior of the carriage under diff
culties. = New York World.

A correspondent In the Tribune has
takon intense interest In tho danger
Of infection from dust which has been
contaminated by the poison Of tubor-
cular disease Some OF the best
known physicians in New Yoik dis
eussed this subject recently, aud an
agreed that it was necessary that care
should be taken in oil places FREE
qnontod by oonsumptiyo patients 10
destroy tho tubercular infection In the
dust Of such plaeea
The reader already referred to
writes 10 the Tribune to know il this
tubercular infection in dust can be
destroyed by the use Of sulphur One
OF the leading physicians Of this city
who was consulted on this subject
says that sulphur when properly APP
piled, is one OF the most powerful aud
effective agents for destroying infec-
ton.
In order to obtain the most thor
ough results tho walls Of the infected
rooms should first be washed down,
and the windowsa and all cracks through
which air could escape, such as cracks
around doors, stills, keyholes, chimnoys,
etc, should DO carefully sealed by
fastening strips Of paper over them,
then when the sulphur is burned the
fumes are retained. At least twenty
four hours should elapse before the
fumes are allowed to escape by the
admission Of fresh air. The sulphur
fumes should be as dense as the thick
est smoke in order to be completely
effective. OF course ell gilt picture
frames and bright metallic articles
should be removed beforehand, as
otherwise they would be discolored
and practically ruined by the sulphur.
This physician says that if sulphur is
used in this way the infection IN the
dust ought to be destroyed. New

The Disappearance Of a Hog.

Some six weeks ago farmer of
Benton, KY, lost fine fat young hog,
weighing about a hundred pounds,
and the most careful search failed to
show any trace of it, or how it had
disappeared. About the same time a
high wind upset the farmers straw
stack. During the six weeks that
elapsed since the disappearance of the
hog tho stack of straw has gradually
been removed. A few days ago the
last of the straw was turned over, and
what seemed like the shadow of the
lost shoat was found beneath it. The
pig was still living, but it weiged only
twenty pounds. Careful attention
brought it round, and it is said to be
all right again now and fattening up
well. New York Sun.

Writing about tho development Of
Africa, in tho Century, Henry NJ.
Stanley described a slave raid as fol-
lows:
As wo approached tho Falls we saw
that the river banks had been dopop-
ulated and the villages we're in ashes
We passed dead bodies floating 10 tho
river. Canoes we're standing on end
like FOLLOWED columns, crowds Of fugi-
tives we're aAoat, aud hiding among
the reedy islanda These we're oil
signs Of a general terror, but we could
get no Information Of It's character.
Vague ideas Of an invasion from some
savage tribe came into our minds, and
now aud then We had misgiying that
there must be Arab slavers in tho
neighborhood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day We came in sight Of a huge Arab
camp on tho right bank, and before
very long wo discovered that the Arabs
Of Nyangwe (Liyingstones farthest
point, having heard the most exag-
gerated reports Of our successful
descent Of tho Congo in 1877, had
hasteaed after us to reap harvest Of
ivory and slaves. They had been too
successful. Over 118 villages had
been destroyed below Stanley Falls
alone, rich piunder Of ivory was in
their camp, and several hundred
slaves, old and young, were herded
like goats and heavily fettered in the
slave-pen. 1t then appeared that
while we had been negotiating with
the negro chiefs along the river, maxi
ing roads, building stations, and haul
ing steamers overland, the Arabs Of
Nyangwe had been coming down the
river, laying the country waste. We
had at last met, about fifty miles be-
low the falls. A glance at the scene
of the camp was sufficient to reveal
what future awaited the Congo
valley had we not conceived the
project of opening the river to civil
izing influences. There was not a
moment to lose. We had no author
ity to open fire on the miscreants.
They we're subjects Of the Prince OF
Zanzibar, who was a protege of Eng
land, and to plunge into hostilities
with them might possibly involve us
it serious complications. But while
we dared not use force, we believed
that by continuing the same system
we had found SO successful with the
native chiefs, we could check the au-
dacity of the slavers by our mere
presence among them. After some
days spent in cautious and friendly
negotiations with the Arabs, we were
permitted to establish a station at the
Falls, and after seeing itwell advanced,
we turned the prows of our steamers
down-river toward Leopoldville.

MARGERY'S SECRET.

Henry Fleet, the blacksmith, had a
coy little house in Newburg, which he
called his birds nest It with ten good
acres attached, had been in the Fleet
family for three generations The one
son had always followed the occupa-
ton of the sire, as though they we're
born to the business Harry had
pride in his work, and to those friends
who had a larger ambition for him he
was wont to say, 81 was born a black
smith I like it, and will remain one.
In his birds nest nestled his wife
Margery and his little son. They
were the Joy and light of his work
day-liie.
For number of years Harry had
been very happy man, but cloud
had gathered in the sky, and at last it
moved along just over his cottage, and
there it obstinately stood. He had
stood as bail for an old friend who
was in danger of losing his liberty in
Consideration of certain liabilities.
The friend had lurched him.
Margery knew something had gone
wreng. He tried to keep the whole
trouble to himself, but the shrewd
little woman managed to ascertain his
secret trouble.
'You see, Margery, I don't mind
can work for you and the boy we'll
enough, but the homestead, there is
no help for it; that must go; and it
has been in the Fleet family ever
since it was a wilderness. "
Harry told her the responsibility.
Said he, "Old Squire Mitchell has
paid it, and I have mortgaged the
place. He has given me several years
in which to redeem it, but he might
as well take it now; I shall be no bet
ter prepared to pay it then"
Harry went to work and Margery to
Illuminating. She had always been
able to adapt means to ends, and sup
ply the means, too, if necessary, for
a wise little thinking cap she was in
possession of. She spent the after
noon in endeavoring to plan method
of relief, but it crept away and she
felt tired and defeated.
It was supper-ti time. She heard her
husbands foot strike the graveled
walk, and at the same time she was
struck with an idea. She put his sup
per on the table without word, and
instead of sitting down with him as
usual, said: "Do you mind looking
after the baby awhile? 1 want to run
out
A neighbor came in soon after and
asked for Mrs. Fleet.
'She has gone out a moment" he
replied.
cit must have been her I saw going
into Lawyer Knowles Office moment
ago" said the neighbor.
Harry did not reply, but he did not
like it. Young Knowles had once
been sutton of Margery's. A little
waverings at first in his attentions, for
he was a shrewd young fellow, acute
in his profession, and in personal
matters looking always to the main
chance, and Margery bad no fortune
but her face, though there was a ru-

country had left her property, more
or less, and her relatives there hat
