The oldest love letter has been discover
ed. 1t is in the British Museum, and is
written upon brick made of Nile mud
and baked. 1t contains the marriage pro-
posal of a Pharaoh for the hand of a
daughter of a king of Babylon, and is
supposed to be something like 1900 years
old. If the maidens of the period receiv-
ed such missives, many of them could
build mansions of their love letters of a
Eeason.

The silver organs have read the Ohio
republican currency plank and will have
none of 1t. 1t is denounced as a straddle
and dodge, as deliberate attempt to face
both ways, and is scoffed at as a repeti-
tion OF the stale game which was PLAYED

refuse to be caught with any such bait.
and are beginning to show strong indica-
tons of discomfort with the timidity not
to say cowardice, of the candidates for the
party nominations, who do not dare let it
be suspected that they have opinions on
the silver question.

= Is Secretary Smith a candidate for the
senatorship? The Columbus Enquirer
Sun is not sure whether he is or not,
since his friend Judge John l. Hall is
quoted as having said the other day: Il
have no thought that Secretary Smith
will become a candidate, and 1 have no
idea that he has any thought of enter
ing the race for the senatorship. He has
frequently been urged by his friends to
do so, but has never given his consent. 4"
That is interesting. But upon the heels
of it comes the statement in the Washing
ton correspondence of the Atlanta Journal
that Secretary Smith will accept Con-
gresham, Crisp's challenge for a Joint de-
bate before the people of Georgia upon
the financial question, and that it would
give him pleasure to arrange for all the
joint discussions TO which Judge Crisp
would consent" That would seem to in
dictate that the secretary is into the fight
for all there is in it. The matter will not
long remain in doubt, however. Mr. Crisp
is on the slate to begin his campaign in
about two weeks, and the other candidates
will probably not permit him to get much
the jump on them.

Easy Come. Ensx Go.

A good deal has been said in the papers
about the bond deal of Mr.. White Of
Boston. He made bid ION wind" for an
allotment of bonds of the last issue. His
offer was sufficiently high to secure the
award to him of an option on $500, 900 Of
bonds. He hustled around and by divid-
ing the profits with one or two banks, and
with Russell Sage. secured the gold with
which TO pay for the bonds.
There is an interesting little sequel to
the story of Mr.. Whites bond deal, which
has just come out through proceedings in
New York court. Some of the smartest
of the Wall street operators were aware
that Mr.. White had lined his pockets with
thousands of dollars, in a very easy man
ner. When the Wall street people know
anything of the kind, they become very
friendly towards the possessor of the new
ly acquired riches. They are in possession
of lots of tips upon the market, through
which vast fortunes may be accumula-
ted. and all of which tips they are ready
and willing to give to their new friend.
They impress upon the lamb that they are
not Interested in the matter themselves,
but would like to see him go into the
market and win out with a great sum to
his credit.
1t appears that when Mr.. White had
poeketed the money he got from his flyer
in bonds. he turned his eyes upon Wall
street, to see If it did not offer him an
opportunity to become a millionaire. Hav-
ing won in the bond deal. he quite natu-
rally felt pretty well towards himself. and
| confident of his ability as a fnancier. The
story goes that Russell Sage took the Bos-
tonian under his wing, and in the most
disinterested way in the world gave him
some tips on the stock market. White
played them. The reader has already
guessed the result. Whites thousands
were swept out Of his grasp with the same
neatness and dispatch that they were at
| first swept into it. 1t was a verification of
the old saw, easy come. easy CO." Mr.
White has some rich experience left him
| But that is about all of the riches he has
been able to save out of his bond deal.

At Blackburn mass meeting, held ar
ter the adjournment of the Kentucky
legislature in Frankfort, Senator Black
burn warmly eulogized the populists for
their support of him." according to the
dispatches, and violently denounced the
democratic press of Louisville. The pop
ulists are the open and avowed enemies
of the democratic party, to which sena-
tor Blackburn processes to belong. The
democratic press of Louisville have stood
squarely upon the state democratic plat
form. The trouble with Senator Black
burn is that he has had his own way
in Kentucky for so long a time that he
imagines himself to be the democratic
party. He is now learning to the con-
trary and as the knowledge comes to
him it almost sets him beside himself.

The United Press correspondence from
Cuba goes to show that the insurgents
continue to gain in strength, and that
about all that is needed TO give them
a powerful army is guns and ammuni-
tion. The insurgents could probably put
many thousands more men in the field
if they had anything for them to fight
with. Several steamers are on their way
to Cuba now, with arms and ammuni~
ton. Should the cargoes be successfully
landed, the probabilities. are that the
Cubans would soon assume an aggressive
attitude and in a measure abandon their
guerrilla method of warfare for holder
fighting. The rainy season is now near
at hand. With the rains will come fe-
vers, included that most dreaded of them
all, yellow fever. The Spanish troops in
the island are unacclimated, and it is
certain that thousands of them
will fall victims to the fevers. Should
AMaceo and Gomez receive large amounts
OF arms and ammunition in time for
them to make a vigorous campaign dur
ing the sickly season, the chances are
that they would nfiict terrible losses upon
the spaniards. The probabilities are that
a crisis in the Cuban situation is near at
hand.

A STAB AT ENGLAND.

France Retaliates for the Soudan Affair by
Taxing Imports into Madagascar.
LONDON, April There is a dash of
vindictiveness and defiance of England
in the statement made at Paris by
Premier Bourgeois in regard to NADIA
gascar. He practically declared that
it is the intention of the French gov
eminent to supervise and direct the
foreign relations of the island. He i'm
parted to the budget committee his in
tention of enforcing the following sig
nifcant policy:
The powers may complain If they think they
have ground to do So We have divided the
sovereignty in Madagascar, placing internal
affairs under local authority, but reserving for
ourselves foreign sovereignty. The French
magistrates have not had up to the present
jurisdiction over foreigners.
This policy is undoubtedly aimed di-
rectly at Great Britain, whose trade is
likely to suffer to a vast extent under
the plan. 1t means that existing treat
les with Queen Ranavanola are to be
abruptly abrogated; that France is to
be, not only the governing, but the
most favored nation, and that the com
merce of the island in future is to be
entirely under French control. The
effect of this plan has already further
embittered the strained relations of
the Salisbury government with that OF

avs of the Moose.

Ambrose seems to know a great deal
about moose, after all. He told the
boys how, back from the narrow val
ley and the swift, running streams,
the country was all a wilderness; hill
sides clad with birches, naples and
cvergreens, and resting at their feet
little lakes, so numerous that no man
knew how many there were. Often,
where these lakes were shallow, the
yellow pond-lily with it's oval leaves,
crowned the surface. At other sea-
sons the tender bark of the noun tain
ashes and moose-woods are the favor
tie food of the moose; but now there is
nothing he likes so well as the long
tubular roots of the lily. In the very
early mornings and in the evenings,
about the time of the harvest moon
the full moon nearest September 21-a
hollow sound, not unlike the sound OF
distant chopping, may be heard. It is
the sound of moose calling to their
mates, or the angry challenge of fierce
rivals. It is the sound which the hunt
err initiates to attract the moose.
But there are only few places where
the moose will answer-shallow spots
in certain well known lakes, and it is
said to be nearly useless to call any
where else. -Tappan Adney, in st.

'Instead of improving under the care of

These morphine pills simply put me to sleep

statistics show that the average yield
for all the 81 years, bad seasons and

per acre for the entire state, rang
ing in different years from to

years ended with 1895 has had an an

of those reporting prefer planting
