Last Tuesday was the day set aside for the end of the world The edict had gone forth from the lips of the great F. StlItzke, follower of Julius Stangnowshi, who had mathematically calculated it to second of time. In New York city Union square had been selected as the point from which the faithful would be gathered into the clouds. It is hardly necessary to re- port the failure in the programme. The point most amusing to us is that un- til yesterday we had no intimation of the affair to take place and if it had occurred what crowd of us would have been taken mawares.

Manufacturers of other sarsaparildas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

HARD TIMES.

What are they? In his great speech in the United States senate opposing the repeal of the Sherman law, Sen ator Jones, of Nevada, thus answered the question: ''If I should be asked to state in a single phrase what hard times means, should reply Falling prices That phrase means the com pulsory ddleness of large numbers of workingmen; it means an increasing number of patients in lunatic asylums. an increase in the occupants of alms- houses, and the prisons of the country. No two words in the English language cover so vast a field of misfortune. A condition of falling prices means the payment of an unjust and unearmed increment to the creditor; it means an unjust exaction from the debtor. A condition of falling prices means a dis couragement to every business venture a thwarting of business foresight; it means a juggling with mortgages by which they become deeds, and the property of the borrower becomes vested, in fee simple, in the lender.

OF THE BIBLE.

This thing called science has hap py, or an unhappy way of stepping in every occasional and not-down-om-the programme while, and upsetting bred in tIhe-bons ideas and habits of life, and at times it is such a shock to hu- manity that the efforts to recover equi- ibrium ere quite pitifu.
 Accident is one of the most faithful collaborabeurs of science, and we might cite thousands of instances dem onstrating the correctness of this as sertion, Just now we are interested in but one instance.
 During the entire time of the life of most of US 1t has not been successfully denied that the date of the creation of the world ran back to a period 4,004 years before Christ. Every scriptural expert and translator has agreed to this and the first chapter of Genesis in all our bibles is accompa nied with marginal note giving that time.
 The man who attempted to dispute the date of the creation had better died yesterday. The date when Adam and Eve consummated the Wickedness of their Little filtration in the Garden of Eden was fixed date in the minds of all lovers of snake stories and it would have been a bold man indeed who. without positive proofs, should endeavor to upset that date or to in- terfere with that most delightful TO- nance of our clotheless first parents.
 America, the last discovered and newest addition to the recognized sections of the inhabitable portions of the globe. has now come to the front and disputes the chronology of the bible. And we are in doubt whether we should rejoice or regret the result of the meddling of these Yankeeland scientists and explorers
 According to the report these curi- osity blooded people journeyed to the ancient city of Babylon in Assyria, and there commenced to dig into the earth About 100 feet below the surface oi the desert they came upon a buried city, showing a highly developed civ flization. This city of the Euphrates under ancient Nipur had never been suspected and we are not told why the digging was done just at that spot At any rate some very fine tablets oi stone were unearthed, and the great est professors and most learned schol. ars of the world are agreed that this dug up, or dug down to, city existed 1000 years before the birth of Christ

 The kidneys, called upon for double service, quickly become diseased, for they are very delicate organs. These are conditions which, if neglected, may rapidly become fatal.

John would go so deep. We are not told so, but it is safe to believe that John at one time either mined for coal or bored for oil, and when he reached Nipur and commenced fussing in the ruins the old passion came upon him strong and irresistible. And once started downward a PennsyIvanian was never known to cease until he reached the lowest possible level. And John has outdug Adam and Eve, and gone centuries beyond the tower of many tongues.
 Worse than all, John has rooted away from under us the foundation walls of all our childhood loves. And we are not yet reconciled to it suffi- ciently to appreciate his propensity to dig.
 It will cost a heap of money to change all the dates of the bible stor- ies, and this will make work for the printer. They will pass resolutions of respect for John.
 I'm all seriousness we feel, and we believe that the majority will vote with us, that this discovery should have been postponed. One of the favorite maxims of mankind has been: Let the dead past bury its dead" Now this the past cannot remain buried.
 We are now prepared for anything.

The Prince Took or His Hat.

According to the Philadelphia Rec ord, the captain of the clipper Louisi- ana, which lately arrived at that port. tells good story of the way an Amer ican boy, without making himself of fensive, extorted tribute from royalty While the Louisiana was ly- ing at Dublin, the prince of Wales, who was then the guest of the lord mayor of the Irish capital, sent word to the captain that he would like to come on board and see what an old-time American chpper-ship was like. The captains son heard what was going on, and declared that he would make the prince tip his hat to him. He knew, it seems, that the prince was not in the habit of uncovering in this way. When the royal party came on board the boy appeard on deck waving the American flag. The prince, seeing the national colors, lifted his hat, and the rest of the party followed suit, to the great delight of the captains son, who thus had made good his boast.

IVORY WANTS ADVICE.
The Alleged Dynamiter Has a Chance
 to Save Time.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-William Ly- man, president of the Irish national al- liance here, has a long letter purport- ing to come from Charles Russell, of the firm of Russell & Day, solicitors for Ivory, the alleged dynamiter. The letter sets forth that in the opinion of counsel for Carson and Taylor and in their opinions also, it would be better for the accused to plead guilty, as he undoubtedly would be convicted and his sentence would be heavier.
 It was stated that Ivory would act only on Lyman's advice or consent. MT. Lyman says he cannot understand why such communication should have been sent to him; that he knows very little about Ivory and is anxious to aid him only because he believes him to be innocent of the charge brought against him and as a true Irishman, he would not undertake to advise the man about something of which he had no knowledge. Lyman further states that counsel and witnesses from this side would be on hand for the trial

ARMS FOR THE INSURGENTS.
Two Vessels Given Permission
 to Sail.
But Their Masters Decline to Take the Necessary Oath Without Which CIearances Will Not Be Is- sued to Leave Port.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-For the first time since the present struggle in Cuba began this government has given permission to customs officials to clear for Cuba vessel loaded, ae- cording te the manifest, with muni- tions of war, presumably for the in surgent army Yesterday the secre- tary of the treasury received a tele- gram from the attorney of the owners of the Dauntless at Jacksonville stat ing that they would apply to the col- lectOr of customs at Jacksonville for clearance to a Cuban port with a cargo of arms, but the oaths required by the statutes would not be taken.
 The question was asked whether un- der these circumstances the papers would be issued. A later telegram was received from the collector a1 Jacksonville stating that application to clear the Dauntless for Neuvitas, Cuba, with a cargo of arms had been made asking instructions. This morn ing the secretary replied substantially as follows: eff the master of the yes sel and owners, shippers and con- signees of the cargo comply fully with the laws and regulations concerning the manifest and take the oaths re quired, you may grant clearance to Neuvitas, Cuba"
 This afternoon the collector of GUS toms at Jacksonville wired the secre- tary of the treasury that the steamer Commodore had applied for clearance upon practically the same statement of facts, as in the case of the Daunt- less. In response the secretary wired permission to issue papers to the Com ! modore in substantially the same terms as were named in the former case. Up to the hour of closing the department, no information has been
 received as to the movements of either vessel or whether the eondi- tions imposed had been accepted.

 Continuing, Senor Sagasta declared that Captain General Weyler is him. self all obstacle to the pacification of Cuba, as he is impotent to quell the re- bellion, adding: Diplomacy is more able to secure peace than force of arms.
