every ring and clique of gentlemen
clear to the landmarks who have kept
the Walker house chairs warm for a
decade are wound up with the national
question.
Quite an audience gathered about
some gentleman at the Knutsford last
evening, and the conversation ran
about as follows:
You know. w4len I was d boy, I used
to take a look at the old farm a few
miles outside of Ann Arbor, and say to
myself: Jim, old boy If this ever be-
longs to you, you'll be a rich man; and
1 wen. back the first of this summer
and the people on it are living a hand
to mouth existence"
''I just came from Illinois, and they
have an officer there almost equivalent
to a sheriff That is, he sells farms
when the mortgage is due. The number
of farms he sold up to year ago, was
from one to two, and for the last year
the number totaled up an even thirty
six
"Of course it did. How could it be
otherwise with oats going at Il cents
bushel, and every other product i'm pro
portion
What kind of am argument have
goldites for these farmers? They go
to them and tell them hat if Bryan is
elected there will be hell to pay. And
Their answer is, let it come; how much
worse can it get? We're willing to take
the chance.
II had an alarming experience just
before l left my home in New York.
One can't go into a workshop, on a
street car, in factory, but what the
ceaseless din of Bryan rings in his
ears The corporations are becoming
helpless in regard to controlling their
employees, and the workinsgaen mean
to elect Bryan If they can't do 1T, no
no one else can
Yes, and they wild win. All the
help they need is that of the young
Democracy, who must stand together
like Caesars tenth legion, carry the
banner into the opposing ranks. and
insure the fact that the American peopie
shall accept no crown of thorns, no
cross of gold
At the close of the little fat man
remarks, everyone clapped for the
"boy orator" except the gentleman
from the Empire state, a war veteran,
and a sullen Englishman who grunted,
crossed the other leg, and lighted a
bulldog pipe.

SPIRITS AS OIL PROSECUTORS.

Two thousand dollars has been raised
in Belmont to put dowa an oil well on
the Parker Leilous farm, two miles east
of the village. William Robinson, Who
is spiritualist, claims he has had di-
rect communication from the spirit
world, and that persons there, who
when on earth We're considered good
judges in matters pertaining 70 oil,
have indicated to him exactly where the
well should be located. Twenty years
ago, within 100 rods OF this same spot, a
test well was put down which yielded
both oil and gas in small quantities.
There we're, however, at that time no
such facilities for shutting off the salt
water, which continually filled the well,
as at present, and as neither oil nor gas
was produced in paying quantities. the
well was shortly abandoned, and the
matter has been almost entirely forgot
ten until recalled by the present excite
ment. Some Of the leading spiritual
lists in the community have contributed
large sums of money toward the fund
iaised for carrying en- the WORK.

NAPOLEON'S SWORD.

The doomed church of Val-de-Grace

a sword originally worn by Napoleon

emperor came upon Baron Larrey, the
famous military surgeon, who was evil

matter?" he inquired Sire replied
the baron, Il have lost all my baggage,
and, what is more, my sword. +" Don t

and. unbuckling his own weapon, he
handed it to the disconsolate doctor.
This precious relic was bequeathed to
Larrey the second, scarcely less en-

it went with all his property TO Mile.

LADY BuRToNs QUEER WILL.

The late Lady Burton left will in
which there are some curious .proyi-
sions. After giving some directions
with respect to the possible success of
her investments in mines or lotteries,
and her desire that her sister, Mrs.
Fitzgerald, should have the whole dur
ing her life, and that, subject to her
sisters life interest, the residue should
be applied to make equal the fortunes
of her nephews. Arthur and Gerald
Arundel, she wrote that it was also
her particular desire that her belong
ings at Baker street should not be scat
tered out to secondhand shops. Then
she had ordered that after her doctor
had pierced her heart with needle,
the doctors attending, or some clever
surgeon to be called in for the purpose,
should make postmortem examina-
ton by removing the tumor, and that
she should be embalmed by stuffing
mot by the new process of injecting in
the veins), in order that her body may
be Kept above ground by the side of
her husband in the meusoleum tent at
Mortlake; but the testatrix stated that
she had bought-adjoini the tent
vault for four bodies, and that two
places were to be reserved, in order
that if revolution should occur in
England, and there should be fear OF
the desecration of the dead, the collins
Of herself and her husband might be
lowered into the vault.
She desired that Immediately after
her death telegram which she had
prepared should be sent to the Cure

ceive $500 for 5000 masses to be said
at once, or 100 sets of Gregorian
masses. The testatrix also provides an
annuity to pay for daily mass to be
said in Paris perpetually, at / franc
for each mass. She provides that a
sum of 5000 should be paid to the
bishop Of Southwark for five anniver-
sary masses perpetually on the day OF
her wedding. on her own and her hus-
bands birthdays, and on the day Of her
husbands death and her death She
desired thar her Carmelite dress and

she was worthy to wear. should be

directions were given for her funeral
which she desired should b. of as
simple character as consistent with
her religion.

THE GREATEST GOLD FIELD.
Milwaukee Owners Get Flattering Re-
ports Regarding Saw Fit Mines.

The San Juan Gold Mining company
continues to receive the most fiattering
reports as to the value of its gold mines
at Saw Pit, the new Leaiville. The
indications are that the Milwaukee com-
pany have secured some of the very
best mines in that marvellous district,
which is now regarded as the greatest
gold field in the entire world, excepting
neithe~ Cripple Greek nor any other
section of Colorado.
4 In the interests of number of prom
inent Wisconsin men who have become
interested in the San Juan company.
