CAUSES OF IRREGULAR TEETH. The
causes of irregular teeth are many, and
are either inherited or acquired. 1t often
happens that one parent has a narrow,
contracted Jaw, and long, slim teeth,
while the other has well developed Jaw,
with large broad teeth. \ child Is quite
as apt to inherit the large teeth OF one
parent and the small jaw of the other as
any way. When this occurs lrreS1iarlty
is almost sure to follow. In many cases
there is from some cause or other a lack

A St Louis paper recently published the
diary OF a tramp who died, apparently from
exposure, near that city some time ago. and
an effort seems TO be made in some quarters
10 get up feeling Of sympathy for that class
of persons because the writer of the record in
question had evidently been a man OF fair
intelligence and education.


This effort should not be successful,-a
least not on the grounds assigned, nor on
account OF any facts which appear in this
particular case. There is no reason, in the
first place. why men of fair intelligence and
education" may not become the most con-
firmed, depraved and dangerous of tramps.
On the contrary, they are apt 10 be very
worst OF their class once their ms tincts turn
their steps In that direction. Then again
there Is nothing in the record OF this mans
wanderings, so far a. We have read il, that
showed him to be in the slightest degree
deserving OF sympathy or aid during his life
time. His diary sets forth with considerable
fullness his daily and nightly experiences
where and how he slept, where he got food,
and perhaps more important than all, where
he was supplied with whiskey;-but, signifi
cantly enough, there is not a single word in
IL to show that he ever earnestly and in good
faith applied any where for work. There is,
to be- sure, in one days entry a remark that
<
in the next that he walked to Greensburg
but got no work." but no reason is assigned
for not getting it-whether there was no work
to be had,-whether the wages didn't suit, or
whether he really didn't apply for it;-no
expression OF disappointment at his hard
fate In being refused employment and
Obliged TO beg for the necessariss of life, in
stead of being able 10 earn a livelihood by
honest toll and thus become once more-if he
ever had been-a respectable and selfrespect-
Ing citizen. His whole walk appears, ln-
deed to have been along the main routes of
travel, and generally in the vicinity o. if not
actually upon the great railway lines, and
never once touched the rural districts proper,
where willing intelligent labor is nearly al
ways needed for the cultivation OF the land
and the care and gathering of the various
crops, and where a decent man who is dis
posed 10 work can at all times escape actua |
want. 1t is clear from this mans own story,
that, even though he is dead, he cannot be
made into hero.

The telegraph stock manipulators give as
one reason for practically consolida ting the
Two rival companies the fact that 1t has
heretofore cost them from 60 TO 10 per cent. of
Their receipts TO carry on their business,
whereas under the new arrangement the ex-
perses can be reduced to 80 per cent. of the
gross receipts. This is probably true; and
as both companies claim that they made
money, and that business was rapidly in
creasing under the low rates recently
charged, there would logically seem to be
hoth-ng LEFT for the new management to do
now but to still further reduce the cost of
telegrsphing from 10 to Is per cent, and thus
give the public the benefit of the great re-
duction in expenses. But the very reverse
OF this Will happen. The whole operation is
plainly mere skin game, intended to gouge
the public, both by higher prices and poorer

WASHINGTON, November T.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, expresses
himself very freely on the silver bill,
as he does on every question which
comes before him. He says he shall
have nothing to say in the Senate
when the bill comes up, because he
has made his speeches on that sub
ject, and should he say anything
more he would be simply repeating
himself. He thinks there will be
very little discussion on the bill in
the Senate, and that it will pass by a
small majority, ranging from four to
ten votes. 1t is probable that Ssna-
tor Morrill, may make short speech
against it as he is the chairman of
the finance committee, but there
will be no lengthy discussion. Sena


tor Jones thinks there will be a
good many amendments offered,
some to limit the legal tender fea-
ture to certain figure, and some
to require the government to have a
monopoly of the coinage. AS to
whether the President will veto the
bill should it pass both houses Sena-
tor Jones has no doubt. He says
Secretary Sherman shows an uneasy
temper in opposition to the bill, and
is so much opposed to it that he can
not talk about it with patience.

Olaridge that his name was Roger
Tichborne.


This happened the tenth or
twelfth day after landing on the
island.


After this the sick man was fire.
quently delirious until he died.
about the eighteenth day after
landing. In his lucid moments he
stated that he sailed from Rio in a
ship deeply loaded; that she went
down in a squall, and that himself
and seven others got into a boat,
which drifted about until all per-
ished except himself and one other,
who were forty days in the boat be-
fore being picked up. He said that
if he could get to Hong Kong he
should find plenty of friends and
money. In his delirium he fre-
quently spoke of his father, with
whom he appeared to have quar-
relied, and he often fancied himself
talking TO his mother, whom he
addressed in French. When Cla-
ridge was rescued from the island he
showed the paper to the captain Of
the vessel, but he appeared to think
it of no consequence, and paid no
attention to the matter. When he
arrived at Wellington island he got
a New Bedford boy, named Man
dell, to copy a portion of the pa
per (some of it being written in
French), but he does not know
what disposition was made of the
copy. The original was lost about
eight.'years ago by the upsetting Of
a boat, and Claridge cannot tell
what the document was, as he can
not read or write.


Whether there is any truth in his
story or not is a matter Of doubt;
but it is certainly as probable as
any story yet told regarding the
great mystery, 1t is said that Cla-
ridge has been sent for from Eng
land, and has left Hawaii to GO
there, which indicates that his tale
has met with credence from parties
interested in solving the mystery
surrounding the fate of Sir Roger
Tichborne.

LIE DALLOON AoCENSlONs


Miss Lizzie Ihling Wise, a niece


of Prof. John Wise, of Pennsyl-


vania, the only professional aero


naut in the Uuited States, arranged


to make her twentieth ascent heav-
onward. She is rather comely
lady Of about thirty, and has been
a pupil of her uncle for about if
teen years. She has for some time
been using double cased balloon,
which, when the outer shell is ex-
Aausted of its gas, collapses against
the inner case and forms a para
chute in. descending, and thus lands
her safely as the gradual process of
allowing gas to escape. She made


her noted ascensions at Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, in the summer
OF 1870, in that style of balloon.


A similar style was used yester-
day, and was inflated and cut loose
under the personal supervision of
Prof. Wise. The balloon was twen-
ty-eight feet in diameter when in
.hated, and intended for one passen-
ger. 1t had to be filled on the side
walk, opposite the park, and towed
TO the grounds. While it was being
filled with the ten thousand feet Of
gas necessary 10 carry Miss Wise,
whose weight is about $50 pounds,
the people crowded around the
place by the hundreds to see the
operation and to see Miss Wise, who
was carefully inspecting the seams
and network of the balloon. She
intended, she said, going up a mile
above the earth and exploding the
valve of the exterior balloon when
at that hight, then to descend in a
parachute in plain view of the spec
tators, but owing to the lack of
facilities at the park to handle the
balloon the ascension had to
be delayed for nearly two
hours. At this time there
was brisk wind blowing and Prof.
Wise was somewhat dubious about
the safety Of the adventure in so
strong breeze, and tried to per-
suade his niece not to ascend. She
promised not to try the parachute
until within a thousand feet of the
earth and not to ascend higher
than half mile. AT precisely
half-past five o'clock last evening
the balloon was let loose from the
earth. Miss Wise stood with one
hand clasping the valve-ropes and
basket ring, and the other hand
holding a small bright silk Ameri-
can flag which she continually
waved as long as she could be seen.
Several lady and gentlemen friends
who accompanied her to the
grounds wished to bid her farewell,
and when in the act she checked
them by saying, al never permit
that. ! am not going away on a
dismal journey, and | will see YOU
again. To soar upward is my hap
