THE MINUET DANCER.

So, my enchantress in the flowered brocade,
You call an elder fashion to your aid,
Step forth from GainsbOrcughs canvas and
advance,
A powdered Galatea, TO the dance.
About you clings a faded. old world air,
As though the link boys crowded round your
chair,
AS though the Macaronis thronged the Mall,
And the French horns were sounding at Vaux-
hall.
They tread the stately measure to its close,
The silver buckles and the silken hose,
Ladies and exquisites, that bend and sway,
Brilliant as poppies on August day.
You dance the minuet and we admire,
We dullards in our black and white attire,
Whose russet idyl seems mere burlesque,
Set in a frame so far less picturesque.
Yet take heart; for Love, the coatless rogue,
Can scarcely heed what raiment be in vogue,
Since in good sooth his negligence is known
AS something scandalous anent his own.
And so he whispers, Eyes were bright and
brown
Long ere the powder tax dismayed the town.
And faithful shepherds still shall babble on,
Although the rapiers and the frills be gone.
ALFRED Cochrane in Spectator.

An amusing scene was witnessed by
many pedestrians one day at the corner
of Thirty seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet nigh. covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses d
lot ON that corner, where the founda-
tions of a new building are being laid.
1t was the noon hour, and six brawny
SONS of Erin were seated ON a slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped to
look at the group could not withhold
smile, for directly above this jolly group
of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,
were the words 1.-The Gay Parisians. "
Here indeed was a pleasant satire, the
result of accident. No wonder the work
ingmen wondered why people smiled at
them so much.-New York Herald

How Fast the Earth Moves.

Every body knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution on its axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea of the high rate of speed
at which such an immense ball must
turn in order to accomplish the feat Of
making one revolution in a day and a
night. A graphic idea of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that of cannon ball fired from
a modern high pressure gun. The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at /, ,626 feet per
second, which is equal TO a mile in
8 2-1O seconds. The earth, in making
one complete revolution in the short
space of "a hours, must turn with a
velocity almost exactly equal to that of
the cannon ball In short, its rate of
speed at the equator is exactly / ,507
feet per second. This is equal to mile
every 3 6-1O seconds, II miles a min
ute.-St. Louis Republic.

ODD FACTS ABOUT MADAGASCAR.
The Policemen Sleep on Their Beats-The
Curfew Is of Ancient Use

The Policemen Sleep on Their Beats-The
Curfew Is of Ancient Use.
Probably the sleepiest policemen in
the world are those Of Madagascar. At
Antananarivo, the capital, there is lit
tie evidence of the force by day, for its
members are all peacefully wrapped in
slumber. At night, too, the guardian Of
property is seldom to be seen, and that
he is actually guarding is only to be
told by the half hourly cry that is sent
up to police post No l alongside the
royal palace.
"Watchman, what of the night?''
eve are wide awake, keeping a sharp
lookout, and all's we'll :"
Antananarivo has no lamps and no
streets. 1t is simply great collection
of houses tumbled together. There is a
big force of night police, known as the
watch. - The men gather themselves
together into groups, and choosing snug
corners, wrapping themselves i'll straw
mats, they drop into long and profound
slumber. One member of each group re-
mains awake to respond to the half
hourly call from the palace. As he calls
back, the others, half awake, mechan-
ically shout back the response. 1t makes
little difference, however, that the police
continually sleep, for robbery is rare.
Curfew, though popularity supposed
to be purely an early English and Nor
man French custom, has been estab-
lished in Madagascar for centuries. In
every town and village between 8 and
10 the watchmen 60 around shouting out
in the Malagasy dialect, Lights out !"
and they see that all is in darkness in
every house. After these hours no one
is allowed to travel around without u
special pass.
There is no criminal code of any ac-
count, and when man is caught in the
act of stealing the populace is apt to
ignore the police and surround him and
stone him to death. The NIadagascans
have no 'swear words" i'll their Ian
guage, and when their feelings aIe over
wrought against a man the only thing
they can do is to execute summary
vengeance on him.-New York World.

We this morning publish a letter
from Delegate Douglas, which is
worthy careful reading. Since he
has been in Washington our affairs
have received more consideration
than at any previous session of con-
greSs He feels that he should have
the undivided support of every man
favorable to tOwnsite legislation, and
in this view of the matter he is emin-
emily correct. He has already ac-
complished good and is in position
where he car. reasonably hope to see
his efforts crowned with success. If,
as he says. there are local or petty
jealousies finding lodgment in any
breast, they should be dropped and
an undivided front presented. A long,
strong, altogether pull will put the
towns of this county on solid foun-
dation: without this kind Of pull
our prospects are vague uncertainty.

The Indian Citizen contains
letter from Washington bearing on
the situation in the Indian Territory
which is sure to be of interest to all
regardless of their prefe. ences as to
what this country needs, or is likely
to get in the way of legislation.
After reviewing what congress has
done up to the p, esent, the cores
pondent says: SIN the meantime the
townsite people are getting ready to
move in an effort to get legislation by
\cong .ess providing for IGe survey and
fsale of town lots in the Indian Terri
tory. the Board OF Trade of Ard
more have sent petitions and resolu-
tions up here endorsed by the Mer-
chants Exchange, of st. Louis, asking
for legislation of that Kind. Endorse
ments of the same K nd will come
he from milar Commercial bodies
of Kansas City and Chicago and most
likely also fom Dallas aud Fort
Woctn. The pc zeal i,;iuence which
the above named cities can cOntlol is
immense. Added TO this VIII be the
influence of most of the interior towns
of the Indian TeIr.toT- and many of
the surround lg towns. Ard still
added 10 that viii be the influence of
all of the lorg lires of "a Dads in
the Indian Territory, viz, the Frisco,
Katy, Santa Fe. Rock ls'cnd, CdOc-
taw, Ark. Valley and Atlantic &
Pacific. AS opposed to all of the in
fluences above ment oned, that of the
Indians of the five nations is not a
drop in the bucket. The trouble with
the Indians is they persist in seeing
only one side of the quest on and that
is their Owa side. They do not seem
to have the faculty of putting rnem-
selves on the other side and trying TO
see and find out what are the mot yes
reasons and strength of that side.
The lawyer who goes into court 10 try
a case without knowing something of
what he has to meet is most apt to
get LEFT. And so, in the present case
the Ind ans have underestimated the
strength, reasons and purpose of the
United States and those invoking the
fownsite legislation.

In answer to an inquiry, THE Optic will
state that Scipio Aguilar, an inmate of the
Las Vegas Jail, was convicted of murder In
the first degree for killing Hilario Mar
tinez. one of the Coke freighters.
An Indian boy, twenty years old, by the

some twenty miles below Liberty, N. NJ,
when they were Joined at komeroville, five

bodies were found several miles from

The figures for 1895 show . remarkable
growth for this young and prosperous
fraternity. 1t was organized June 9th,

paid 81, 12S, 0O0,0 in the payment Of death
claims and erection Of monuments upon
the graves of it's members. 1t has IN
creased its membership $4,000 last year.
The growth In the Pacific Jurisdiction was
62k per cent. in the year 1895. The death
rate was but 3.64 per thousand members in
the year 1895.
There were but ten assessments during
the year and none 10 January, 1896. The
order eliminates hazardous vocations, and
exercises the greatest care In the selection
Of risks; accepts members over twenty

has never been in court. The Pacific juris-
diction, on December 3lst, last, hadl16.1 39

rnn BRYAN sILyaR CLUE.

1t is not difficult TO soc how the people OF
Las Vegas stand. In this campaign. on the
money question at least. The Bryan free
silver club held a meeting at the office of
Judge Wooster, last evening, and while
there were no hand bills posted over the
city announcing the fact, democrats, pop
ulists aud republicans, irrespective OF
party affiliations crowded into the room
until standing space was at a premium.
Some Of the most active men at the meet
ing are republicans as they have been for
the past twenty ysars,-bt- metallists. No
better argument do they need that they
are true republicans than the speech OF
Jas. G.. Blaine, made some years ago In the
senate, which was read by Mayor +. K.
Olney In the meeting last evening.
Col. T. B. Mills addressed the meeting and
furnished indisputaDle statistics IN favor
OF the free coinage Of silver.
The address of A. A. Jones Is very highly
spoken of and was in main an answer to
Bourke Cockran's speech in New York, a
few 'evenings ago, wherein he attempted
to reply to Bryau's speech at Madison
Square Garden. Mr.. Jones dwslt upon
the history OF bi-metallism and the single
gold standard and showed conclusively
that In all instances where the single
standard was adopted, financial degener-
acy began, and that gold is not a clvilixer,
q demoraiizer.
The meeting adjourned to meet, Friday
evening August 2Sth, when Edward Henry.
a life long republican, will address the
club on the money question.
