Here is a question for natural philos-
ophers: Is the fall of ram due to the
presence of electricity IN the air with
the lightning and thunder attendant or
is the absence of the fall of rain due to
the absence of the electrical display or
presence, or is the electrical display due
to the fall of rain or moistu re? Or does
the rain depend on the lightning or the
lightning on the rain, which or neither?

Johnny Daniels expects to be the
republican nominee for the clerkship,
but clouds on the political horizon in
dictate that a storm is brewing. Robert
Lee of Browniee is a bright young man,
and it is almost time that he was recog-
nized-some say he will be, and that
Daniels must step down and out-and
there / others. We understand that
Pete Donoher is not averse to accept
ing the democratic nomination, and
VIM. Metzger has lost none of his
friends. One bourbon who has been
considered active for the place is not
yet ready to announce his candidacy,
but when he does we doubt not he will
develop considerable strength.

Forgot His own Writing.

An odd characteristic of the late Will
liam Black was his remarkable forget
fulness of his own writing. As soon as
he had seen the last of the proofsheets
he forgot all about the book. Mrs.
Black in talking to him one day, re-
membered an anecdote in one of his
books which illustrated her remarks
She quoted it, and Mr. Black laughed
heartily at the story, and asked where
she had heard it. Even when his wife
told him it was from a recent novel of
his own he would not believe it, and she
was obliged to fetch the book and show
him the story in print before he would
be convinced. Unlike many novelists,
William Black never describes his
scenes from pictures, but always from
life. II prefer" he said, when ques-
toned on the matter, ito get my inn
pressions first hand; every scene l de-
scribe I see with my own eyes. Lon

And this is only the beginning Before
this the largest publishing undertaking
was that of the Memoirs of President

sold. At present there are no Bismarck
copies to be had, and of the ordered
ones only two-thirds are delivered to
the subscribers as they are gradually
got ready-the printers can not keep up
with the demand. Several Berlin book
sellers are reported to have sold as
many as 500 copies each. The quantities
of pasteboards, of cloth and caIfskins
for binding, of gold leaf, gold brocade
and glue. etc, required by the large
Leipsic -bookbinding firm of F'rftzche
are simply fabulous. According to the
