A Ferocious Combine.

That ribald organ of ballot-box

Bston Rouge Advocates, is some
what "keerless" in what he says
about the sanctified candidates the
Republicans and Populists have
put into the field, and, as he be-

who bears the bloody banner of

is the sudacious manner in which
the wicked editor Of the Baton

TWO COMMON NAUTICAL TERMS
Probable Origin of the Phrases "Star-
board' and "Larboard.o

Probable Origin of the Phrases "Star-
board" and "Larboard."
The origin of the words "starboard"
and "larboard," as used In the nautical
vocabulary, has been attributed to the
Italian words questa borda, meaning
"this side" and quells borda, that
side" Abbreviated, these two phrases
appear as sta borda and la borda, and
by corruption of languages were soon
rendered "starboard" and cardboard"
by British sailors. These two words
sound so much alike that frequent
errors and accidents occurred, and
years ago, therefore, the use of "lar-
board" was discontinued and port"
was substituted.
A correspondent of this Journal has
made the point that the former term
has been in use in the English language
from remote period, occurring In An
glo-Saxon as "stearboard," and In mid
die English as "stereboard," while in
later times it was written "sterboard,"
from which 1t developed into its mod
ern form, ''starboard" 1t originally
meant, so our correspondent says. the
board, or side, of the ship on which the
man who steered 1t was placed 1t may
be called a native English word as dis
.tinguished from one of imported origin,
and ii possesses n special interest In its
indication of the method of propelllng
and steering in vogue from very early
times. The ancient mariner could run
before the wind with his single square
sail, but he could deviate only n few
points or either side. Unless, therefore,
the direction of the wind agreed with
the course of the vessel, 1t was neces-
sary for him TO be In constant readi-
ness TO modify his direction by the help
of the oar. The illustrations CT early
English manuscripts and the later fig
ures of tapestries exempllhed the old
square rig. with auxiliary oars and

the side alley be closed, the building
might be saved reasoned. But they
had not been shut for years, and the
hinges of some broke off and let the
shutters down. Seeing the futility of
trying to save the building, l set about
saving the office books and files. The
first thing was to so to such open-all-
night places near by as were likely to
have any of the printers that | knew,
and knew every joyial compositor in
those days. We soon rallied quite
force, from six TO ten, / should say.
Across the street was livery stable.
We went over there and helped our
selves to buggies and crowbar. To
take out the office books and papers
not in the safe and then roll the safe
to the sidewalk was a short job. The
next thing was to bring down the
files. BY that time the fire lighted the
editorial room, back of which the files
were kept, and we had no trouble in
finding our way. but 1t took good
while to get them all down. My orders
were to pile them into buggies and take
them on the NOfln Slde.
II was the last to leave the building,
80 as to be sure that every file was
taken, and started north with the last
buggy. By the time we reached the
Rush street bridge | saw that 1t was a
mistake to go north or, rather, met a
friend, Frank Boutwell,. He was just
crossing from the North Side, and with
an enthusiasm which carried convic-
ton, declared that the whole North
Side was going to HI. We wheeled
about and went up Michigan avenue.
Mr.. Charles L.-Wison, editor and pro-
prietor of the Journal, lived just above
10Th street, on Michigan, and that last
batch of files was soon in his personal
custody. Those who went north cssss-
ed west on Chicago avenue, and then
by a long detour got to 18th street
bridge, thence to Michigan, and finally
to Mr.. Wilson'S residence.

Some Matrimonial Facts.

Widowers are more inclined to marry
than bachelors. Widows are more ini
clined to marry than spinsters. Both
facts are eloquent In favor OF the com
paratiye advantages of matrimonyi
For one bachelor that marrles between
the ages Of fifty and fifty-fve. seven
widowers remarry between these ages.
These are marriages out of equal numi
bers Of each class; the actual number
of bachelors married will be greateH
only In proportion as they exceed by
seven to one the actual number OF
wldowers living at these ages.
Under the same conditions. for every
splnster married between thirty and
siXty-nve two widows are remarked.
lnasmuch as the total number OF spin
STEERS far exceeds that of widows, and
the figures given refer to marriages out
of equal numbers. this disparity is not
so noticeable; Its existence, however,
is beyond dispute.
Similarly, out of an equal number of
widOwers and bachelors between TWEEN
ty-five and thirty years of age, thirty
widowers remarry for every thirteen
bachelors who enter the bonds of Hyi
men for the first time.-Tit- Bits.

ON the great Chicago fire of 1871 the
daily newspaper buildings burned
- were those occupied by the Tribune,
Times, Journal, Republican, Stats Aei-
tung aud Post, Mail and Union and the
Volks Zeitung. In addition to these
there were nineteen foreign weekly pa
pers. fifteen Juvenile publications, two
agricultural journals, eighteen religious
papers, eighteen monthly magazines
twenty-five business periodicals, and
twenty-eight miscellaneous publica-
tons, making in all lbs publications
left without a home by the fire.
By Wednesday morning the daily pa
pers were out with issues that sounded
like tocsins to call every man in Chi
cago to his duty. At 3 o'clock Monday
afternoon, while $4,000 buildings were
burning throughout eight wards of the
city, when the business center of Chi
cago was swept away, while the terror
stricken people were shrinking along
the margin of the lake, or swarmed far
out on the desolate prairies. the Even

the city, its files go back further, and

They have some very curious GRIM
inal laws in Mexico. For instance, 1t Is
twice as much of an offense to mutilate
the face of woman as that of "A man.
The law seems to be based ON the idea
that woman's best possession Is her
beauty, and that to mar 1t does her Il
great injury. There is another curious
law. If person should be wounded
in an encounter the punishment to the
offender is fixed by the number of days
his victim has to stay in the hospital

more than forty days in his recovery
