a FuIsome Compliment.

During Mr. Cleveland's tour Of the
south shortly after his marriage Mrs.
Cleveland and he were driving one day
through the streets of one Of the larger
towns escorted by two Of it's citizens.
Some one threw bunch Of violets to
Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr.. Cleveland
bent forward to catch it, remarking as
he presented it, II wonder why no one
gives me flowers"
One Of the gentlemen present gal
lantly replied, eve think you have won
the fairest flower in all the land"
''Ah, yes," returned the president;
''but, you see, I can't keep her in wa
ter!'
sit is not necessary since you keep
her in such excellent Spirits" was the
reply.
Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say
ing, II am afraid you are guilty of fiat
terry" Whereupon came the reply:
mo, madam. Flattery is fulsome
compliment and in this instance no
compliment could be either too frank
or too fulsome."
The charm of this response lies in
the last and fourth from the last
words, Mrs Clevelands maiden name
being Frances Folsom.

A Queer Chinese Notion.

One of the beliefs which the Chinese
are slowly unlearning is that foreign
ers use the eyes and hearts Of China
men in compromising rare and costly
drugs which are valuable aids in
magic. Medicine and magic have for
ages gone hand in hand in China, just
as they once did in Europe. Ignorant
Cinnamon therefore readily believe
such tales. The use of eyes of Chinese
by foreigners in metallurgy is describ-
ed in work called "a DeathbloW
to Corrupt Practices," published in
1870. According to this, when white
Christians had charge OF a funeral
they drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyebalIs were
then removed from the corpse, the ORR
fees being filed with plaster. This
was called Sealing the eyes for the
western Journey" By compromising
these eyes with a hundred pounds Of
Chinese lead. this yeracious chronicle
continues, eight pounds Of silver could
be extracted from it, The sight OF
gans Of any other people were useless
for this purpose.

There died by his own hand IN
Washington few days ago, an old
and destitute man named Hinton R.
Helper. This unknown old man, in
the days before the Civil war, wrote
book called 1.-The impending Crisis. -
The book tried to prove, and in the
Judgment of impartial historians did
prove, that slavery was tremendous
economic wrong to the Southern
whites who did not own slaves. It
was sort OF economic Uncle Tom s
Cabin, and if the 'tpoor whites had
been able to read and understand 1T,
there would have been no Civil War,
for the great mass of the Confederate
army, men who did not own slaves,
would never have submitted to a
system which did them economic
Injustice. Helper was Southerner.
His book was circulated extensively
IN the North. and undoubtedly helped
to elect Lincoln.

Congressman Lindbergh deserves
credit for his vote against Cannon and
Cannonlsm. 1t may be that his dis
trict will suffer on that account, but
nevertheless the congressman was
right. IT he had exhibited some of the
same spirit in the postoffice matter,
the recent contest, with the temper
and evil feeling evoked, would never
have occurred. Mr.. Lindbergh's &C
tion on Cannon was strikingIy different
from that of Miller OF Duluth, who
was elected on distinct anti Cannon
issue, yet went over to the enemy.

The slim vote cast for the two
democratic candidates in the postotfice
contest is no reflection on the
popularity or politics ofthe gentlemen.
Many democrats felt that under the
rules no democrat had a show even if
successful, and they t ere e
scattered among the republican
candidates. On free for all contest,
as first stated by Mr.. Lindbergh, there
would have been a different vote.
