A Fancy For Old Hats.

The inhabitants of the Nicobar is
lands, a group in the Indian ocean, have
an extraordinary fancy for old hats, and
a regular trade in such cast off headgear
is carried on between Calcutta and Mic
obar, the much desired headpieces being
paid for in cocoanuts. A tall chimney
pot is the favorite among the Nicoba-
rians and the acme of fashion is consid-
cred to be high white hat with black
hatband. This is worth from 80 to 60
cocoanuts, and is worn by the Nicobar-
ian dandy when he goes out fishing.
the rest of his attire consisting solely of
a waistcoat.

HYMN FOR ALL HALLOWS.

III NV fOH am HiLLOUO.
NOVEMBER 1sT.
All Hallows: by that voice Deep calls to
Deep:
Altar to Altar Word replies to Word;
They throng the plain, the vale, and crown
is heard
All tones therein of grace and glory blend,
Gods love in purpose, and Gods love in end
All Hallows: evermore from age to age
The meek, majestic, loyal line moves on;
Their pictures front us on each holy page
From primal Genesis to mystic John;
With myriads more on those blank leaves
between
By reverent angels marked. by men unseen .
All Hallows: Abel at his Altar stands;
Noah, and Abraham, and Aaron, there;
Each dinly gazing, Crosswards, to those
Hands
Which all mems sins and all men sorrows
bear;
And to that Precious Stream, from Calvary's
height,
Wherein All Hallows was their rament
white.
All Hallows: these are they redeemed by
love,
Elect by God the Father to be won
By Him He gave: sealed by the mystic Dove
Who lit on them as on the Incarnate Son.
To make them His-the pure, the kind, the
true,
The brave to suffer, and the strong to do
Lord of All Hallows-of that multitude,
The stOled in white who sing before Thy
Throne
Where never pain may dull, nor pride delude
Those happy spirits evermore Thine own !;
Grant us their faith and patience-and their
love,
Their power below, In Thee, their bliss above

RiSlnarck's Ancestors.

1t is stated that the Bismarcks first
made their appearance in Brandenburg
as cloth merchants. In 1880 or there
about it is believed that one Claus Bis
marck advanced sum of money to the
Margrave Ludwig, which was secured
upon the customs of his native town.
The citizens, however, rebelling against
this arrangement, the margrave assign
ed to Claus Bismarck the fief of Burg
stall, and it was in this manner that the
nobility of the family began. In the
middle of the sixteenth century the Bis
marcks came under the sway of the
Hohenzollerns, to whom they have ever
remained faithful vassals.-London

Sure Thing.


Both the Hon. James Campbell and
the Forum make the usual complaint of
anonymity in "Jackson's" case.
But jackson" is reputable private
citizen, fully entitled to his pseudonym
in the discussion of public men, meas
ures and institutions.
Lacking prominence and prestige,
and modest concerning the achieve
ment of those distinctions, the pen
name is often the humble citizens only
carte de oisite to the public For if, in
the pursuit of what he thinks wrong,
he were compelled every time to ap-
pear unmasked, his information and
insight would often be lost to the
public.
Whenever, therefore, the JOURNAL
sees the anonymity point made, it
knows that prominence is beginning
to feel crowded and that greatness
demurs to one of its inevitable penal
ties

journalistic.


Somebody on the Baltimore Herald
''sizes up the situation" up here as
follows:
Allegany county, the home of journalistic
amenities Is about to see some more fun
Editor John Joseph Robinson of the Iona
coming Star, has had Editor John Farrell, of
the Frostburg Forum indicted for libel. Mr..
Farrell, having fought in the Cuban army in
the early days of the present rebellion, has
been under fire before, and hence manifests
no disposition to run. Editor Robinson has
himself had share oflibel cases, having once
been at the mlzzle end of an indictment for
libel. He has become so thoroughly convinced
of the efficacy of libel laws that he wants to
try them on the other fellow Meanwhile, lust
to keep the thing going, the Homecoming Re-
otem continues to neglect to love the Star
while the Frostburg JOURNAL throws no bou-
quets at the Forum. Cumberland is the only
town in Allegany where all the papers agree
with each other, and even there mutual ad-
miration does not go to extremes.
The JOURNAL always views with re-
gret the wreckage of busted entente
c0rdiale. but the case cited is not
the first negative of that vision of re
generation wherein it was seen "how
sweet it is for brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity.'
Concerning the "boqnet' matter
the JOURNAL is hardly ever as un-
nelghborly as it seems to be. AS a
paper it never laughs. By the same
token it cannot weep. These infrm-
tiles are frequently mistaken by the
outer circle as evincing stinginess
with both its appreciation and sym
pathy, forally considered.
Which is why 1t seems to the Herald
authority, no doubt, that the JOURNAL
is illiberal with the free and unlimited
products of its syntactic tiower-garden.

more, the hospital had no ice to spare

1t was an act of reputation of a moral

most Of the leaders were against them,
and they fought to the end. Just before

are liable to precipitate the whole con-

The other feature of the days session
was the adoption of a resolution against
