speechlesa and Swollen.

A story at the expense of Sir William Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his recent departure for the continent the ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent some time at the seaside, and on one oe- easien visited man-of war lying on the Hampshire coast.
 After dinner, the weather proving rather rough, the captain, an unusually small and dapper man, suggested that Sir William should sleep on board, and thoughtfully surrendered his own berth for the night to his distinguished guest.
 Next morning, at the early hour when the captain usually rose, the latter $ sailor servant, who knew nothing of the change of berths, brought cup of coffee to the cabin door and knocked once or twice without receiving an answer. Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped ill his head and asked;
 Don't you want your coffee this morning, sir?'
 The only reply was i'll the nature of a growl, and the terrified sailor beheld q gigantic figure turning over under the bedclothes. Dropping the cup of coffee, the faithful servant rushed to the ships surgeon, exolaiming:
 '4For goodness sake, sir, come to the captain at once. He's speeches., and swollen to ten times his natural size. '' Strand Magazine.

THE .SIL TER TOTE

IN THE HOUSE,
 An analysis of the vote on the Senate silver substitute for the House bond bill shows that 9 Re publieans, 58 Democrats, l Silver ite and all the Popolists voted in favor of free coinage and that 184 Republicans and 31 Democrats voted against it.
 The Southern Democratic mem bers recorded against free coinage were Patterson and Washington, of Tennessee; Boatner, Meyer and Price, of Louisiana; Catchings and Denny, of Mississippi; TarsneX, Clark and Cobb, of Missouri; Cooper, of Florida; Harrison, of Alabama; Lawson, Russell and Burner, of Georgia; Berry, Owens and Me Creary, of Kentucky; Elliott, of South Carolina; Miles and Rusk, of Maryland; Tucker and Turner, Of Virginia-23 in all Messrs. DeAr- mond, of Missouri; Cobb anu Stall ings, of Alabama; Kyle of Missis- sippi, and Pendleton, of Texas, were paired in favor of the Senate propo- sition. Hall, of Missouri, and Clarke of Alabama, are not recorded as voting or paired. Both are opposed to free silver. So was Mr. Craine, of Texas, who died day or two ago. The vote of Southern members in the House against free coinage was therefore about 25
 It is stated that when Represent atiye Walter M. Denny, of the Sixth Mississippi District, voted against the free silver substitute that he was frankly informed by indignant colleagues that it was very plain he banked only on single term in Congress. From this one would in- fer that a great many Congressman voted for free silver more with a view of retaining their seats iii Con- gress than from a sincere conviction or a patriotic view of the best inter- ests of the country. To such com plexion have we come that public men no longer stand up for honest convictions, but allow their opinions to be moulded by the prospects of office. When the Republic of Rome went down public men were actuated by similar selfish motives. Is his tory going to repeat itself in the great American Republic2

The Father of the Cocktail.

The cocktail was the invention of Colonel Carter of Culpeper Court House, Va. Many years ago in that locality there was wayside inn named the Cock and Bottle, the semblance of an old Eng fish tavern, and which bore upon it's swinging sign 8 cock and bottle. meaning thereby that draft and bottled ale could be had within-the cock, ' ill old yernaeular, meaning the tap. He, therefore, who got the last and muddy portion of the tap was said to have TO. ceived the cocktail. J
 Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car ter was subjected to the indignity ot having this muddy beverage put before him, he threw it angrily upon the floor and exclaimed. Hereafter will drink cocktails of my own brewing, and then and there, inspired evidently by the spirit of Ganymede, he dashed together bitters, sugar, the oil of lemon peel and some old Holland gin, and thus and then and there was the original cocktail con- cocted.

REPRESENTATIVES, of Arkansas and Missouri colleges will soon en- gage in a joint debate of the silver question. That settles it. It is in deed fortunate that the Democratic National Convention does not con- vene until after this important and decisive debate has been pulled off. Itis barely probable that it was out of consideration for this momentous occasion that the Democratic leaders decided upon so late a date for hold ing the National Convention.

The Rev. David Macrae has brought together in most interesting little vol ume, entitled Quaint Sayings of Chil- dren, a number of stories, many of them old. but nearly all of them good. There is one, evidently told in print for the first time, of little girl in Aber- deen who brought a basket of strawber- ries to the minister very early on Mon day morning. "Thank you, my little girl, he said; they are very beautiful. But hope you didn't gather them yes terday, which was the Sabbath day?" No, sir, ," replied the child, ''I pulled them this morning.

The Cucn,nl,er snonee.

In the cucumber sponge (Euplee- tella cucumber) we have a specimen Of one which lies upon the mud after the manner of it's namesake, which 1t some what resembles. Perhaps, however, the most beautiful of all these silicious sponges is EupleeteIla aspergillum, or, as it is commonly called, Venus flow CT basket 1t is like a beautiful horn of glassy fibers or graceful bouquet holder. The first specimen of this sponge in England came iuto the possession of the late Professor Owen in 1841. It was held by him as a great treasure. It was soon followed by few more specimens, which were sold in the market at about G6 apiece, but now that they have been found to be so plentiful they may be bought for ss many shillings. These sponges were found by the Challenger expedition to be growing i'll vast abund- ance ill certain spots ill the deep waters among the Philippine islands and also off the coast of Brazil They live buried in mud which is so soft and loose as not to crush them or in any way to impede the assumption of their elegant form, and they are supported i'll their position and prevented from sinking by fringe of glassy spicules.
 "The tube of this specimen from the Philippines. after the death of the sponge, is frequently inhabited by one, sometimes by a pair, of decapod crusta- ceans. , lie reminds one forcihly of the hermit crab we have all seen living in dead shells upon our own shores
 These, says the same author, "are so often found together that only few years ago paper was written to show that this sponge was wonderful habitation con- structed by this crab "-Good Words.

A Rrllliant Confederate.

A prestidigitator, in the course of an exhibition in New York recently, had one of the audience select one card from pack and then he handed sheet of paper to another spectator, timid look ing blond man. The professor, who did not see the card, announced that after it had been returned to the pack the de- scription of it would be found written on the paper The card was the eight of hearts. It was taken out by the profess or. "Is that 1.-the eight of hearts?" asked the professor. "That all right, " answered the timid looking man. But he was very conscientious man, and later he insisted on telling the audience that the professor had written on the paper, "Please say, That's all right. ''

THE news columns of daily news paper are simply mirror to reflect daily events and happenings. It must therefore publish all legitimate items of news that happen in it's To- cality. 1t must publish the good and the bad alike, and although it is frequently called on to give space to unpleasant happenings and dis graceful occurrences, it would be derelict to it's true function as the mirror of the life, morals, society and history of a people if all events which excite public interest were not published without discrimination.

They are a disgrace to the town and a reflection upon the morals of community where such things can occur.

The camel is a beast of great strength and endurance. Nothing hurts it until the proverbial last straw , is added to its burden. The human digestive system is very much like a camel. You can impose on 1t to wonderful degree. It is really as- tonishing how much abuse it will stand before it breaks down. The last straw" doesn't break it down, but 1t makes 1t stop work. Continually put the wrong things into your stomach, and digestion will get weaker and weaker Before long, some thing worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through the stomach into the bowels, and there 1t will stick-that's con stipation. Let it continue, and there is noth- ing bad that it will not lead to. Nine-tenths of all human sickness Is due to constipa- tion. Some of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and foul breath, dizziness, heartburn, fiatulence, sallowness, distress after eating, headaches and lassitude.

FORECLOSURE ON THE READING.
Interest Must he Paid Up in Twenty
DnNs or tic MOnL VIII BE Sold.


PHILADELPHIA, May Judge Acheson
in the United States circuit court today
signed the decree of foreclosure of the Phila-
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany. The court proceedings were instltu-
ted by the Pennsylvania company for insur-
ance on lives and granting annuities as
trustees for James Bell and other holders of
Reading general mortgage bonds, because of
the companys default in interest of the said
bonds, amounting to nearly S5,000,000.
The decree orders that the company pay
or cause to be paid within twenty days to
complainant corporation as trustees for the
use and benefit of the holders of the general
mortgage bonds and fractional script issued
under said bond for coupons for interest
thereon the sum of $4,9S6,920 with interest
from the date of the decree to the date of
payment. In case the Philadelphia Read
ing defaults in the payment within the time
directed the properties described in the
general mortgage shall be sold, three months
notice of such sale to be given by the COM
.lainent.
The court further orders that until the
confirmation of the sale the receivers shall
continue in possession of the property.
