There are four millionaires in England to one in France.

 Winning race horses are generally bays, chestnuts or browns; and for every hundred bays among them there are fifty chestnuts and thirty browns. There is no record of an important race being won by piebald.
 The amount spent in maintaining the hunts of the United Kingdom is estimated at s45OO, 900, or e12.000 per day throughout the year. And this does not include the cost of carriage horses, covert hacks and other expenses incidental to this sport.

Chains were not noiseess, and bells were used in the days of the Comedy of Err rors," as is shown by conversation be- tween the Dromio of Syracuse and Adriana, which runs thus:

 The availability of wheels in dangerous service is illustrated in "Coriolanus," when the winged messenger says to Cominius:
 Spies of the Volsces Held me in chase, that I was forced to

 Three or four miles about; else had sir, Half an hour since brought my report. The tire of which Shakespeare wrote was evidently filled with hair instead of air, and even it's color was of importance. In Much Ado About Nothing Margaret says:
 I like the new tire within excellency, if the
 hair were thought browner. Puck's prophetic remark about placing a gfrdIe round the world in forty minutes is fully equaled by that of Launce in the 1.-TWO Gentlemen of Verona" He says:

 Shakespeare, it would seem, must have known something about the bicycle, for throughout his plays he makes frequent references to the wheel It must be that Hamlets father had visited bicycle academy, where beginners on the wheel were plenty, for his ghost said:
 What falling off was therel This most excellent description is paral- leled by another in the same pay, in the new woman of the early sixteenth be- ing evidently the greatest sufferer. The first player says:

 Then the Fool in Lear gives advice to coasters, of the merits of which the mod ern rider may judge for himself. He says: Let go thy hold when great wheel runs
 down hill, lest 1t break thy neck with
 following it.
 There were evidently bicycle thieves in those days, and owners had to carefully guard their precious wheels In the 'Tem- pest' Alonzo says to the king:
 We, too, my lord, Will guard your person while you take
 your rest,
 And watch your safety In that same play Ariel undoubtedly heard the king and his attendants coming on their wheels when she sang:
 Hark! Now I hear them; ding-dong bell. There is no doubt that Achilles, in "Troil- Jus and Cressida," travelled on wheel, for he says to his myrmidons:
 Attend me while I wheel. It appears from a quotation made by the

 Selma, March 9.-After nursing a sick wife for many weeks, and with her life almost despaired. of, J. J. Love. who lives a few hundred yards on the other side of the river from Selma has disappeared and his absence is wholly unexpsainable.
 Yesterday morning shortly after mid night Mir. Love got up and went out of his house into the yard. In few minutes he returned and was seen to gather some effects together and again go out He has not been seen from that time to this. When morning came MT. A. E. Wood, his sor-in- law, who lives in the same house with him discovered that his father -in-1aws s best suit of clothes missing and also his rife. He marveled a little, but nothing was saha about it until yesterday evening late when MT. Love had failed to show up and family became alarmed.
 This morning he is still missing, and what makes the affair still more of mys- terry is the fact that no reason can be ascribed for his sudden assertion, if it is such, of his seriously i'll wife and his family.
 This morning a search was made to find the missing mans boat with which he was accustomed to cross the river att this point. It was found on this side of the river tied at the usual place and locked.
 MT. Love hved in the city up to about a month ago, being employed around the warehouses, but determined to go actively into farming and rented the little house across the river. He is a tall, slender gen. tleman, with sandy mnstaehe, and besides his wife has two daughters, one who is at tending school in the city. the other the wife of MT. A. E. Wood
 The whole affair is shrouded in the deep- est mystery. His family cannot believe that he has wantonly deserted them with his wife near sdeath's door, and after weeks of tender nursing by the ever fond hus- band,

Ihe legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill went through it's last stage in the adoption of the final conference re- port and the remainder of the day was consumed in considering the senate amend- ments to the Indian appropriation bill.

 At any rate it is true. a.

 Headaches, dizziness yellow complexion, stomach ache, offensive breath, bad haste, eructations, fever ague, nausea, heart burn, fiatulence, constipation, prostration, exhaustion, general weakness, tiredness, loss of ambition, nervousness, irritabilty.
 All these troubles comes from inddges- ton, caused by lack of iron in the stomach and blood. .

TELLER LOADED TOR TIE gEyArE.

TELLER LOADED FOR THE SENATE,
Senator Teller has o little surprise
that he intends to spring on those re-
publicans who, although pretending to
be bimetallists, are doing nothing to
counteract the effect of Secretary
Cages efforts to have the entire world
believe that Mr.. Mckinley and the
republican party stand for gold mono
rnetalism. Senator Teller believes that
there should be no further masquerad-
ing on the financial question; that the
constituents of every Senator have a
rightto know to certainty whether he
favors bimetallism or gold monOmetal-
lism, and that his little surprise, in
the shape of q resolution he intends
Offering and pressing until record
vote is taken on it, will do the trick.
This resolution did not originate with
Senator Teller. but was written by the
late Stanley Mathews, a republican
senator from Ohio, and was adopted by
republican votes in the Senate in 1878.
1t declares that call the bonds of the
United States, issued or authorized to
be issued (under the refunding act of
1870, the act to provide for the resump-
ton of Specie payments, etc J, are
payable, principal and interest, at the
option of the Government of the U. S.,
containing 4l94 grains each of standard
silver and that to restore to its coinage
such silver coins as a legal tender in
payment OF said bonds, principal and
interest, not violation of the public
faith, nor in derogation of the rights
OF the pubic creditor. Reckless as
sertions have been made concerning al
legged charges among Senators on the
silver question Tor that reason, il
for no other, Senator Teller's idea is q
good one. In addition to smoking out
the would-be straddlers, vote on this
resolution will doubtless convince Sec.
Rotary Gage and his goldbug assistants
in and out of Congress, of the hopeless
ness of their efforts to secure from this
Congress legislation authorizing the
issue Of gold bonds for the funding Of
our public debt, or for any other pur.
| poses.

The administration has put itself in
position to get new batch of trouble,
by meddling in the contest among the
Maryland republicans over the election
of Senator Germans successor. 1t was
supposed that when the administration
ascertained that it could not force the
election of Postmaster General Gary to
the Senate, it had dropped out and de-
cided to allow the Maryland republi-
cans to choose their own Senator, but
that was only supposition. Within
the last three or four days the admin
istration has openly shown it's advocacy
of Judge McComas for the Senate, and
has compelled Gov. Londes to with
draw in favor of McComas.
