low by the name of AL Noble told Aimes
that he could hold Il rifle bullet in Il gun
by putting his thumb over the muzzle at
the instant the gun was discharged, and.
to prove it, went through the feat. His
thumb was n little powder burned. but no
bullet came out. Aimes thought he had
discovered Il good thing and the next day
gave an exhibition on his own account.
He placed his thumb over the muZZle of

PETER Moody.

Peter Noddy comes at night,
Down the chimney, so they say.
Sews u eyelids fast and tight
Till the break of day.
And never yet has anybody
Caught a glimpse of Peter Noddy.
Often have I set my chair
By the fire, to watch for him.
But he took me unaware
In the shadows dim.
And before my eyes would view him,
He had popped his needle through them.
Is his thread a moonbeam white.
Stolen from the sky. I wonder
Or. perhaps he tears the slight
Spiderwebs asunder.
And from out their glossy shreds.
Twines and spins his Iissome threads.
And his fingers are so deft.
And his needle is so keen,
Not a scar or mark is left.
Where its point has been.
So he comes and so he goes.
Whence or whittier. no one knows.

Here I. an Arraixnmcnt.

From the Washington Post.
1t pains us TO find in the Christmas edi-
ton of the esteemed Springfield Repub-
lican the following contumacious utter
aEce:
There is no doubt that Jesus. when He
cealt with social matters, dealt with their
essentials and not their incidentalS.
Were He living in the flesh to-day,
what would be thought of Him? He
would be no more welcome In the churches
which are called after His name than He
Vas in the ~synagogues of His Fathers
faith: He would be no more welcome 10
OF their fellows necessities than He was
to the rich men of Jerusalem. For now.
as then, the Observation-Disclosures of the world
are against the thing He lived to pro-
claim-the freedom and faith of mankind
found in love alone"
We fear that our always excellent con-
temporary has permitted itself to arraign
an entire class upon the strength of TIE
shortcomings. the arrogance and the van
ity of a few indivuals. 1t is inconceivabie
that the pulpit of New England can be
open to such an accusation as the Repub-
l;can here makes-that the houses of
Christian worship and the methods OF
Christian ministers are so conducted and
inspired that Christ could find no comfort
in them. No doubt the Parisee still sur
wives. and very possibly there are clergy
men here and there who are no more in
sympathy will the teachings of the Saw
ior than they are with those of Confucius
or Mahomet. We realize the fact only
too often and too unavoidabIy. But it
seems a cruel imputation upon the thou
sands of humble and devoted men who la
Dor, as Christ labored. among the stricken
ard the sorrowful, who eschew the van
ties and luxuries of the flesh and give
themselves up to works of pity and self
abnegation-it seems unjust to all these
faithful servants of the Lord to say that
Jesus would find no welcome or sympathy
i'll them.
1t does not seem to US that the facts war
rant this sweeping condemnation. We have
noted. to be sure, a lamentable tendency
in certain quarters to return to the intol-
erance. the pride. the seltishness. which
Christ rebuked SO p~assionately in His day
and generation. We rave seen instances
of worldliness. of self-indulgence, of dull
conceit and eager avarice such as the
Savior would have scourged with scorn
and ~reprobation. But we do not believe.
"a the Springfield Republican does. that
these are the rule rather than the rare ex-
ception. We cannot credit so monstrous
and so terrible a thing.

SOMETHING

A word of caution should be spoken to
those enemies of the Republican party who
are fastening to the ~congenial task of
writing Mark Hanna's political obituary.
Before giving free rein TO the elegaic in
SEPARATION. it might be we'll to make sure
that Hanna is dead. Nothing contributes
to the success of n funeral so much as a
corpse. Its absence ultimately takes all
the pleasure and most OF the Importance
out of the occasion. There are many things
In the Ohio situation which make it APP
pear somewhat doubtful whether the corpse
has yet been procured. This matter should
be assured before the Dead March, be-
gins.
Marcus A. Hanna came swiftly and sud-
denly TO political fame, but not as an ora
torical comet with n borrowed tail, or a
dark horse" in a hopeless factional fight.
He won his way by his power as an or
ganizer and manager in one of the hottest
campaigns known to our political history.
Such work as this requires. above all things
else, those solid qualities which give a
man staying power and mark him as a
permanent factor in the political situation.
Having led his party to magnificent sue
cess against tremendous opposition; Mr..
Hanna was given a seat in the senate for
the few months remaining of Senator
Sherman's term. He was thus compelled
to make his fight for election just when
the administration was passing through its
difficult first months. and the disappointed
ohiceseekers were in the amiable frame of
mind of the bear robbed of her whelps.
Hundreds of little fellows had had their
plans hopelessly disarranged by the advent
of his commanding personality. and thirst
ed for revenge. They found their natural
allies IN the advocates of 16 to l.. A COM
mon hatred is a short-lived bond of union,
but strong while it lasts. and Senator Ham
ma may go down before this alliance Of
Adullamites and Bedlamites.
Cast down, perhaps, but not destroyed,
Hanna has those qualities which make a
man invaluable TO his party and his nation
in a great crisis. He is still alive. and will
be, whatever may be the result of the cleo
ton for senator in Ohio. His power will be
felt in future as in the past.
Let his enemies rejoice. and the mirth Of
the wake be fast and furious. They can
furnish for the funeral the eloquence, the
Grape and the baked meats. But they cam
not produce the corpse. No man in the
Republican party to-day is more alive than
Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio and the United
States.

The Sealing Case in a Nutshell.

From the New York Tribune.
Russia, Japan. Great Britain. Canada
and the United States are interested in the
sealing industry of Boring sea. After care
full scientific investigation they are all
agreed that pelagic scaling as at present
practiced is an evil. Russia. Japan and the
United States express their readiness to
stop that evil practice. Great Britain and
Canada decline TO stop it. Why?
Great Britain declines to stop pelagic
sealing simply and solely because it is
Canada's wish that she should do so. And
Canada declines and prevails Upon Great
Britain to decline simply and solely be-
cause the United States will not grant all
Canada's demands on the fisheries. boun-
DIARIES, commercial reciprocity and all other
important subjects of dispute between the
two countries.
That is the exact truth of the case as
1t stands to-day. 1t is a pity that Canad
should assume so unreasonable a position.
1t will probably prove, in the end, as great
a pity for Canada herself as for any one
else concerned.

Is the Stomach Superhuouss

From the Boston Herald.
The demonstration that the stomach is
not a vital organ by its removal under
a recent surgical operation. while the
health of the patient subjected to it was
improved. is the occasion of wide COM
ment. Life was prolonged in this case, but
we are inclined to think it premature to
regard it as established that man can do
without a stomach for any considerable
length of time. 1t remains to be seen what
complications may yet arise from its loss
in the present case. If the practice of ex-
cision of the stomach is demonstrated to
be so safe as to become general as a sur
gical operation, it will improve the gayety
of individuals, if not of nations. What Il
different man Thomas Carlyle might have
been in literature without his stomach!
The bad temper of many men and women
finds its seat in that organ. We should
take a long step toward the millennium if
the disease Of dyspepsia were overcome.
But 1t won't do to be sanguine that it is to
be. We are much inclined to the belief
that the stomach will be found in the end
to be an essential, If not. strictly speaking,
a vital ryan. Nature, which. it is admit
ted. makes no mistakes. is not yet to be
charged with having created superfluous
stomachs.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The perturbation noticeable in all parts
CT the civilized world upon the rumor Of
the death of Bismarck is a testimony more
imposing than monumental brass and more
eloquent than mortuary epitaphs concern
Ing his greatness. Alike of those who had
been his critics and those who had been
his idolaters. it was felt that a heroic
presence had gone hence. There is living
for happily the agitating rumor has been
proved false-no other man whose life has
been so fruitful of achievement.
There are no contradictions in Bis
marck's life. He was born a junker, sway
gered through college with the young
jrnkers. went into the reichstag as a
junker. served his imperial master as a
junker. and unified Germany as a junker.
He is king of the making class of men.
Ancient Greece would lave made a demi-
god out of lin. Charlemagne or Bona
parte would have made him a tributary
monarch. Living in a later and a better
age, he stands uncrowned. unsceptered,
unanointed, but yet recipient of sincerer
homage than is paid to the monarch who
is emperor, because Bismarck created an
empire.

No NECESSITY FOR LONG WALKS.

The argument hat if Kansas City's new
ly acquired territory be divided into only
two wards voters will have too far 10 20
10 reach the voting places is hardly worth
considering. In many townships of al
most every county in the state the dis
tances are much greater. yet voters seem
TO be able to get to the polls without much
hardship. But what has the number of
wards to do with the polling places, any
way? There can be as many precincts and
voting places in a ward as are necessary
10 accommodate the people: there can be
just as many in two wards as in four
wards. The larger wards of the city have
many more precincts than the smaller
wards. Voters in the new territory will
not have an inch further to walk il there
are two wards than IL there were four
wards.
