theme in political discussion. It is
impossible to overestimate the astonishment
and consternation which this welltimed
bomb caused in the camp of the

seen through protection spectacles. In the
opinion of the directors of the Democratic
campaign at the national headquarters, Mr.
Blaine's rabid utterances in point will still
further estrange the Irish-American element
from thellepublican party.
One ot the visitors at headquarters yesterday
was Chairman Jewett, of the Indiana
Democratic State Committee. At no
time since the Chicago Convention, Mr.
Jewett says, has there been so. much enthusiasm
in the Hoosier State for the Democratic
ticket. He thinks the State is safe
beyond peradventure. His committee have
organized the State thoroughly by counties,
and a rough poll of the voters shows
a material net increase of the Democratic
strength.
There was a messenger of good tidings
from California also yesterday in the person
of Ex-Governor Stoneman, who says
that without any doubt the G, O. P. will

This work is to be put in charge

The reported contribution of $10,000 to

is probably correct. It is also true that
Jlessrs. Brice, Scott, Oelrichsand probably

There has been little or no excitement
over the meeting of the Republican State
Convention at Saratoga. "Weefc* ago, as
indicated in these letters, it was perfectly
apparent that YTamer Miller would lead
the forlorn hope of his party. Miller is far
too shrewd a politician to nurse any .hopes
of a permanent residence at Albany, br.t he
realizes the fact that the nomination will
strengthen his faltering gripon the machir e
and serve him good purpose by keeping
his name before the public. It is a long
time to Senatorial election, and it will take
a strong man to bowl out Mr. Evarts; so
Miller proposes to shut his eyes reverently
and grab for everything in sight.
The channels of money-making in a
great city are various. One, a little crooked
though it be, which is frequently used, is
blackmail. Thousands of petty cases, of
course, never come to light; but occasionally
we have one which, from its revolting
character, touches the public heart. A case
in point is that of the ghouls who have
been attempting to extort money from Mrs.
Corwin, a well-to-do Jersey City widow,
using as a lever the bones of her deceased
"Y. son. In many respects the case resembled
. that of the rape of the late A T. Stewart's
grave. In one essential respect it differed?
^ the scoundrels were merely working on
the poor woman's fears, while the sepulchre
was really undisturbed.
Another of that crooked gentry who is
now claiming a deal of public attention is
a fellow who claims Clark as one of his
dozen names. He has been engaged systematically
in swindling tradesmen of this
city by means of forged checks. Having
accumulated several thousand dollars in
this way, the rascal provided himself with
# the finest clothes fashionable tailors could
make, and proceeded to Newport, where
for weeks he posed as the grand swell.
His quick wit andyivid imagination gained
for mm the entree into the most exclusive
circles of that ultra fashionable resort, and
half of the society women are said to haye
lost their heads over him. A day or two
since a vulgar man dressed in blue pounced
down , upon the lion of the seaside and
brought him into New York to answer a
few dozen charges of common swindling.
The evidence against him is complete
enough to consign him to Sing Sing for
the rest of his days.

Aurora and Epaminondas.
"Have you 110 v.ord of comfort for me,
Aurora?" Epaminondas
Chugg gazed in strong
despair at the young womsn who, in a few
brief and coldly spoken words, had ended
the brightest dream of his life. Aurora
Fitzgarlick was beautiful as a showman's
$10,000 dream. To a faultless face and
elegantly upholstered figure she united a
voice like an echo from the choir q{ paradise
and a paternal progenitor with the
largest bank account of any operator on
the street. Many and many a time had
Epaminondas sat in a Queen Anne chair in
the Fitzgarlick parlor drinking in her
Eastlake Michigan beauty until his head
ached. Many 2 time had he proudly attended
her to the theatre, the opera, and
the restaurant, and subsequently tossed
upon his restless couch the livelong night
in tho pangs of love and indigestion. The
hour had come at last when he could keep
silent no longer. He had d eclared himself
and been informed with cold politeness by
I the heiress of the Fitzgarlick millions that
she regretted to be compelled to return
! his proffered hand and heart as unavailable
for her use.
1 "What can I sav, Mr. Chugg, that will
I soften the blow which it deeply pains me
: to inflict?" she said, in reply to his despairing
question.
"Add a postscript of some kind," he
said, wildly: "give mean open datq or a
chance to hedge. If you Cftfi't grant me a
rehearing don't crush me by a cold sentence
of death. Commend me at least to
the mercy of heaven."
"Mr. Chugg," exclaimed the lovely
maiden in alarm, "vou speak with strange
I incoherency. You have read toe much
campaign poetry."
[* "Aurora Fitzgarlick," replied Epaminondas
Chugg, In a voice whose tragic
misery thrilled her to the remotest fiber
of her being, "I have read nothing for six
weeks except William D. HoweUs* last
novel."
"0, my poor Epaminondaa!" impulsively
burst from the lips of the beautiful
girl, while her eyes kindled with tender
pity and her face lit up with a passion
born radiance, "you have endured enough

Normandy Coast Fiahlng Excursion.
I was most anxious to go on a fishing
expedition, and a few days after I arrived
quite a large party of us started from the
villa. It was all sucb a new thing to me
that I examined curiously all belonging
to it with no common interest. My costume,
as well as those of the other ladies,
was most peculiar. We had on our bathing
suits, over which we wore short
jackets of striped flannel; pretty cork
shoes and large straw hats completed our
attire. Some carried pitchforks and
buckets, others nets and poles. The ?en
tiemen wore KnicKeroocKers ana. bllujtu
jackets and went barefooted. On the
beach we found a number of donkey carts
awaiting us, and small boys in attendance,
who were to beat the poor beasts
in case they became refractory.
The tide was well on its way out?it
falls or recedes from two to three miles
each day?and we had several hours before
us for our trip. With much urging
and slow advancing we arrived at a good
spot, so the gentlemen assured us, and
seizing the pitchforks we all began to dig.
The first removal of sand showed me
quantities of small fishes squirming
around in the wet and loosened sand.
Grabbing them up in our hands we deposited
them in our pails, and so went
from place to place fishing in this most
curious manner. It became quite exciting
toward the end. for we made wagers as to
who would gather the greatest quantity,
and in our hurry to grab all we could see
half wotdd squirm out of our hands litrw
eels. These tiny fish are a species of anchovy,
and make a most delicious frit-ore,
well repaying one at dinner time for the
: trouble of hunting them.?Cor. Argonaut.
Medicine for Canine Pets.
Never treat your dog roughly in administering
medicine. Kindness will bring
about quicker and better results than
force. Give medicines that are in the
form of powders in gelatine capsules. To
administer these take the dog, if a small
one, on your knee, if a large one, between
the knees, open the mouth gently but
firmly, holding the head up as high as
you can, and have some one to put the
capsules as far down the throat as possible,
now close the jaws and give the dog
a- sharp tap under the chin, which will
cause him to swallow the capsule. When
liquid medicines are not of a disagreeable
taste they can be given in drinking water
or in broth. When it is necessary to force
a dog to take them, hold him in the sanje
position as when giving capsules, but do
not hold the jaws no wide open, and have
your assistant pour the medicine from a
long necked bottle into the back part of
the mouth a little at a time; Hold the
nose until you are sure he has swallowed
the dose. As soon as all is down give the
dog a morsel of meat and take him out for
a ran. This will often prevent him from
vomiting the medicine.?Globe-Democrat.
Preying Upon People's Grief.
A' nuisance, and one that should be
abated is a practice that has grown up
among a class of people who prey upon
grief and affliction. Every day these
f" houls who live upon the mends of the
ead use the mails to send hundreds of
their offensive missives to a list of addresses
gathered from the newspaper
death notices. These are nothing less
than advertisements of ? orists, embalmers,
tombstone cutters, dealers in mourning
goods, ate. One shrewd Philadelphian
generally sencTS: a black card with some
doggerel and the name of the deceased
printed on it, for which he modestly asks
the bereaved far-iily to send him ?1.50.
But worst of all is a seedy looking fraud
who purports to have been sent from
some newspaper and offers (for a consideration)
to write, an obituary notice which
he says will be printed in the newspaper
he pretends to hail from.?"Miss Justice"

Dre'ixos of the Blind.
The dreary's of the blind are of great
importance, and the fact that persons
born blind never dream of seeing is established
by the investigations of competent
inquirers. So far as we know, there is no
proof of a single instance of a person bom
blind ever in dreams fancying that he saw.
The subject has been* treated by Joseph
Jastrow in The Presbyterian Be view. He
has examined nearly two hundred persons
of both sexes in the institutions for
the blind in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Thirty-two became blind before completing
their fifth year, an? not one of
these thirty-two sees in dreams. Concerning
Laura Bridgman, the blind and
deaf mute, Professor G. Stanley Hall,
quoted by Mr. Jastrow says: "Sight and
' hearing are as absent from her dreams as
: they are from the darn and -silent-world
which alone she knows."?Eev. Ib. J. M.

WORKING FOR MILLIONS.
THE DIVERS SEARCHING FOR THE
BRAAK'S TREASURE.
How tho Work is Carried On?Return of a
Party of Philadelpliians from a Visit to
the Spot "Where the Treasure Ship Sank.
(Philadelphia Times, Aug. 30.)
A private car attached to the train from
Lewes, Del., last night contained a party
of Philadelphia capitalists who for two
days have been -watching the operations of
the steamer City of Long Branch, which
is now anchored off Cape Henlopen, outside
the Breakwater, searching for the
treasure which went down on the ^British
slnnn nf-war Dfi Braak in Mav. 1798. The
party consisted of James J. Kane, S. M.
Bines, John H. Schreiner, Ormont Rambo,
William R. Murphy, B. De Luca, Valent'ne
B. Finn, James F. Scravendyka, John
M. Wilkinson of Phcenixville, Robert
Walzl of Baltimore and Harris Graff en.
They spent the day on board the steamer
and made a thorough inspection of the
work, which is beingdone under the direction
of Dr. Seth Pancoast and Captain
Charles A. Adams, United States navy,
who has been detailed by the Government
for the work. The discipline on board the
steamer is very strict and everything is
done in a systematic manner. The bottom
of the ocean has been dredged and explored
by the divers for a considerable distance
and eveiy elevation carefully noted on the
chart. After going over the bottom for a
mile square from the point at which Pilot
McCracken's notes said.the De Braak sank,
a mound five feet high, one hundred feet
loi?g end . 01-v feet in width was found in
sixty feet oi water. No other marked
elevation w?s discovered within a radius of
one mile. This mound is about seven hundred
feet south of the location named by
McCracktn.
A FAVORABLE SIGN.
When the grappling irons caught on this
mound the points showed a slight trace of
verdigris. This was considered a favorable
sign, as verdigris is due only to copper. An
anchor -was put out and a buoy marks the
spot. Diver Charles E. Pedrick was sent
tn moVo an praminfltiAn nriH a r>rnhf>
which he drove into the mound was brought
up with its point covered with verdigris.
The records show that besides the treasure
the De Braak had seventy tons of copper in
her hold when she sank and was coppered
above the water line. This was something
unusual in ships of her day.
The City of Long Branch is now anchored
directly over this spot. The steamer is
fitted out with all the modern machinery
for raising sunken vessels. A large Bush
wrecking pump, which makes 600 revolutions
a minuf i and can discharge from eight
to ten tons of solid matter per hour, is
plactd amidships, and is under the especial
charge of submarine Engineer Chp.rles F.
Pike ?ad his assistant, Lewis Pike. A 20horse-power
engine is us:dto run the pump,
while another engine supplies the divers
with air. The old style hand air pump hf 9
been entirely discarded. The air is forced
through water into a receiving tank and a
regular pressure of 60 pounds to the square
inch is kept up. All sorts of grapples,
drags and probes have been provided, and
the outfit of the expedition is said to be the
most complete ever sent out.
DIVER PEDRICK'S FIND.
Diver Pedrick, while exploring the
mound, found his probe imbedded in a
small piecs of wood. He signaled for a
rop.3 and while waiting for it to be lowered
Sit down on tie mound. His band came
in contact with another piece of wood
about five feet long. These pieces were
sent to the surface and dried. In -See"
larger piece several bolts of the style used
by ship-btilderd of one hundred years ago
we.e found. The iron had oxidized considi.ubly,
but enough remained to show
they were made by hand. A chemical
8n?_ysis of these bolts showed the presence
of copps :as, which is thought to .be due to
the gilvanic action of the salt water, iron
and copper somewhere in the immediate
vicinity. The wood, experts say, is oak
and teakwood, of which the De Braak was
built. A sounding pipe, which was lost
dirrin? the nreliminarv sounding's, was re
cover Jd in the mound by Diver IPedrick on
Monday.
PUMPIXG OUT THE MOUNT).
The big suction was run down and the
work of pumping the mound out was commenced.
As the tide runs very strong between
the capes and a diver must direct the
big suction at the bottom, the work can only
Is done at slack water and is necessarily
slow. Diver Edward Hickman agrees with
his colleague Pedrick, who says the m and
could be pumped down in five days if they
conld work at it steadily, but as they can
only work for about three hours a day it
wil: probably take a week to find out just
what is there. Both Captain Adams and
the divers feel satisfied there is a wreck of,
a vessel lying under the mound.
In speaking on the matter yesterday Captain
Adams said: "We are all satisfied that
the De Braak was sunk on May 25,1798,
with its prisoners and treasure, and while
KftTTo ofAno ArvTTrn roor thoro

we laow of no large vessel except tfie D2
Eraak my where near this mound. It is an
ntablished fact that a wreck or any obstruction
will, in the course of time, become
covered up by the wash of the tide back and
forth, and a bar is formed. There is sixty
feet of water over the mound, and of course
it is too deep to form a b?.r, but the tide has
washed back rud forth until the wreck has
been covered and the mound formed. The
wreck itself may be found some distance
beiow the level. *
CAPTAIN ADAMS HOPEFUL.
"I cannot swear that this vessel is the
De Braak until we bring up something
marked with the broad arrow, but every1

she had a large amount of copper on board
and a copper bottom. Everything brought
to the surface so far shows the presence of
copper. Although we have carefully examined
every foot of the bottom within a
radius of a mile from the bearings taken
by Pilot McCracken, no trace of copper is
found at any other point, and we therefore
think we are now over the right i>pot. If
we are there is no doubt of our getting
everything that was in her when she went
down."
Yesterday the big suction was sent down
' again and the pump stcvt.-d. Diver Hickman
directed it at the bottom of the ocean.
Soon immense volumes of water came out
of the six-inch discharge pipe and was
caught in a screen, which allowed the
smaller particles to run through. When
Hickman jammed the suction into the
mound great quantities of shells were
brought up and deposited in the screen.
The visitors stood near watching the mud
and water. Two of the crew, armed with
big scoops, were kept busy shoveling the
shells from the screen to the deck. Sud1

wood!" In an instant everyone was excitad.
The man picked a piece of black
substance which looked like mud from his
shovel and handed it to Engineer Pike,
who turned it over to Captain Adams.
After a careful examination he broke a
piece off and said: "Yes, gentlemen, that
is wood. Perhaps it is a piece of the
Braak."
The lump brought up was about the size
of a man's fist. Under the microscope the
fibre coold be plainly traced, and eyery one
pronounced it teakwood.
DIVER HICKMAN'S VIEWS.
As the tide was running very strong,
Diver Hickman had to come up and the
pump was stopped. Engineer Pike estimated
that between four and five tons of
solid matter had been discharged through
Lhe pipe during the half hour it was at
work, and said it was working satisfactorily,
about forty per cent, of the discharge is
solid matter.
After Diver Hickman had put on his
everyday clothes and solaced himself with
his pipe, he said: "I think if I could have
stayed down at the bottom for another hour
I would have found something. I've got a
hole in the edge of the mound five feet
deep and I think will soon find out what's
down there. If we only have good weather
for a week I feel sure something will turn :
up to pay us for all our trouble. If we get
the treasure, and I think we are pretty
close to it now, both Pedrick and myself :
will be rich men. It was impossible for '
me to stay down any longer, as the tide
was so strong it carried my feet from under 1
me. I think in a very short time now we
will be hoisting up old brass cannons and '
then gold will come up by the bucketful."
A Nervy Fidgety People.
We are emphatically a people of nerves.
Visitors from other lands are astonished
at the fierce activity that pervades our
most insignificant actions; but they themselves
speedily contract restlessness and
no longer marvel at wonderful developments
of invention and speed of practical
application. A portion of this energy is
f\n A-mprirar. r.limate. which
teaches in a vigorous and obtrusive manner,
that quiet and rest do not form part
of natural law in this country, but it is
far more a result of our newness, our
youth in the family of nations. Scarcely
out of our swaddling clothes of history,
we are called upon to stand up squarely
in competition with a thousand years of
past, and show the old fogies a new thing
or two. And we have done it, are doing
it now and apparently have shouldered
a contract to keep in tie lead for all
time to come. What with new instruments
for annihilation of time and distance,
limited express trains across the
continent and unlimited chances for express
speed in dissipation, the American
temperament has already grown to be one
of great delicacy of nerve. Our children,
at an age when their contemporaries in
other lands are still at school, relegate
the "old folk" to the rear; and father's
opinion is voted as "good, of course, but
belongs to a past period."
Yet, in all this mad speed, there is
reason. It does not follow that we live
shorter lives than elsewhere, even in
length of years; that is not the case. We
are not less capable of keen appreciation
of good things, when once tney are introduced
to as; on the contrary, we are
apt to see beauty and say so, too, when
not even a glanc%of pleasure shows that
our slower neighbor has noticed it. But,
from a medical point of view, our temperament
is a dangerous one to the state,
in that it does most distinctly repress reproduction.
The future American will
be conglomerate; the blood of our forefathers
will be so far diluted that its
characteristic will be lost in foreign overflowing
tide, which, if sluggish in its
flow, may still be of service by reclaiming
from too much nervousness our
fidgety people.?American Magazine.
Tricks of Eastern Wizards.
Alderahman, the conqueror of northern
Spain, according to the Moorish chronicle
of the Caliphs, once engaged a "master
wizard," who introduced himself by
'making the shadow of a dial retreat by
12 degs.," an exploit which, indeed, even
Russian facilities of collusion would fail
to explain. That same court wizard is
said to have predicted the issue of the
battle of Tours (the Charles Martel affair)
a full year before his royal patron crossed
the Pyrennes; but in that branch of his
art at least his prestige can be challenged
by the record of a modern specialist. The
clairvoyante Lenormand, whose sanctum
in the Rue Madeleine seems to have
rivaled the popularity, and almost the
emoluments, of the Delphic oracle, foretold
Col. Murat that his career would end
on the throne of a king (certainly
an augurium of quite classic ambiguity),
and that his fortune would carry him far
beyond the borders of his native land.

Two from the School Room.
A teacher in a city near New York
had a small class in easy physiology.
They had had several lessons on the ear,
and had been so thoroughly drilled on
the names and uses of all its parts, that
when some visitors dropped in the
teacher was glad it happened to be the
hour for this class to recite. After asking
several questions, and receiving
prompt and correct answers, she said:
"What is thft namfi of the canal in the
ear?"
The child hesitated a moment, and
then spoke up, loud and plain: "The
E-rie canal!"
The visitors thought if she judged by
the sound it was no wonder the child
thought the Erie canal ought to be in the
ear, and were, perhaps, better pleased
than the teacher was with the answer.
Another teacher in the same city
asked one of her scholars the meaning of
the word "vicissitude."
"Change," was the reply.

BELYA TO THE GRANGERS. I
SHE OPENS HER CAMPAIGN AT W!LLIAMS
GROVE.
Decided Stand on All Issues?She Is for
Prohibition, Woman Suffrage, International
Peace, and Protection to "Infant"
Industries.
(Philadelphia Times, August 31.)
Williams Grove, August 30.?The at
tendance at the Grangers' picnic today was
unprecedented. The Cumberland Valley
Railroad was taxed to its utmost to accom
modate the 15,000 people transported by it
to the grove. The entire number on the
ground during a portion of the day was
nearly 40,000.
The sensational features of the picnic
were the reception and speech of Belva
Lockwood, who formally opened her
Presidential campaign in the presence of a
large number of men and women. Belva
was met by a band, which escorted her to
the auditorium, where she was received in
the most enthusiastic manner while she
was making her way through the crowd to
the platform.
Norman J. Colman, United States Commissioner
of Agriculture, was entertainingly
speaking on the subject of farming.
Belva remained an interested listener until
the conclusion of the speech, several times
applauding pointed remarks.
Worthy Master Rhone introduced Belva
as a Jady known throughout the United
States for her good works, and as she
gracefully stepped forward to expound the
principles of her platform she was applauded.
A SLAP AT CLEVELAND.
She created considerable amusement by
stating that she preferred to visit the
grangers' gathering "to going fishing with
Dan Lamont," referring to the excuse of
one of her Presidential competitors. Like
many other public speakers, she said, she
had written out her impromptu speech, so
as not to be obliged to deny the allegations
of the campaign liars as" sometimes embodied
in the newspapers. Her subject
was "The Tendencies of Parties and Governments."
f After stating that the negro had been
emancipated as a military necessity and to
perpetuate the dominancy of a party rather
than as an act of justice, she gave a history
of the progress of the past 200 years,
and added:
"You want protection, my brothers, but
the American woman has been protected
too much. She wants to come to the front
and enter into competition for the offices?
for money-making and money-getting?a
voice as to whether the tariff shall be high
or low, and whether the people are to have
free whisky and tobacco and protected
woolen and silk goods."
PROTECTION TO "INFANT", INDUSTRIES.
But she still stands for high protection on
"infant" industries, even in the case of
twins and triplets, but to securely protect
them and raise them to full standard of
American manhood and womanhood, she
wants to abolish the saloon and the cigarette
and'thevile literature of the day. "Our
aim is to rescue the women of this country
from the degradation of the one extreme
and the stupidity and inanition of the other
?filling pauper asylums, workhouses and
brothels with women because the skirts of
honest labor have been dragging in the
dust and the fair white hand preferred to
the browned hand of industry,
"Oh, woman, rouse up from this lethargy,
this do-nothing slavery that is imperiling
body andspul and dragging your sisters
*3oW?Tt?T^cond1tf<Tii-^orse than death, in
which the crowning duties- addressings
of motherhood are ignored; from this"5tate
of abject dependence, which forces you into
matrimony without that necessary qualification
of love to support the union, and
daily loads cur divorce courts with applications
for separation, or leaves the woman
hanging on to the skirts of relatives for
maintenance."
EQUAL PAT FOR EQUAL WORK.
After a reference to the supplanting of
hand work by machinery, Mrs. Lookwood
asked whether it was any wonder that
woman asked that she should have equal
rights with man, a share in the offices,
equal pay for equal work, and the ballot.
She said:
is sue not iaxea 10 support me government,
taxed for necessaries and luxuries?
Beaten, robbed and murdered to maintain
the license system existing in most of the
States of the Union? The scales have fallen
from our eyes. Education is liberty. Ignorance
is slavery. We are comiDg up out
of the old heathen civilization -which has
held us in bondage for two hundred years,
and denied to woman a soul into the broad
light of a Christian civilization, in which
brain force and moral force, not tyranny
and brute force, shall be uppermost. Arbitration
in the future with her reason and
sagacity, is to take the place of war and
must in the future be the rational and feasible
means of settling not only international
disputes, but of regulating the inter-commerce
of States, harmonizing and adjusting
the differences and inequalities now exist
ins; between capital and labor.
OUR ONLY ENEMIES.
"We are as a nation too powerful and
wealthy to be attacked and too moral and
peaceable to take the initiative and attack
an enemy. We have no enemies except
th?se still rankling in our own unregenerated
natures?the foes of our own household.
Our danger is internal and not external;
a danger that wealth and prosperity
shall breed corruption; a danger that the
strong shall oppress the weak; a danger
that the rich shall entirely absorb the substance
of the poor; a danger that the producer
shall do all the work and the idler
get all of the credit and the pay. Oh,
more than that. The wage-worker shall
become the bondman of the organized
capitalists and degenerate into a slavery as
absolute and grinding as though bought
and sold on the block.
BELVA ON TEE SURPLUS.
"It would be well if some of the surplus
millions in the treasury, which is bothering
our good President, could be utilized in
the establishment of industrial schools in
cities where so many of the children of
foreign-born citizens are gathered."
Speaking of the history of parties, Mrs.
Lockwood said:
"They will outlive their usefulness, often
I%AA/\VMA IAOA 4AJynMlifrr nAtta
UCUJLUC VA/iJiupii, Auog yiiixibj auu jJOOO
into senility and decay. A successful party
must keep pace with the progress of the
age that has given it existence or it will
die of its inanition and a new one spring
phoenix-like from its ashes.
"The old machines that have been wont
to control party and ignore innovation are
today creaking on their rusty hinges and
rapidly disintegrating while progression is
the watchword of the home. One party
tells you high protection is the panacea for
all ills and the other lauds tariff reduction
in the same way and neither takes into account
that demand and supply are important
considerations. Neither has done justice
to woman and her dependence is in the
young men."
AGAIH3T CANADIAN RETALIATION.
After mentioning "an international court

vexed questions -with foreign powers and a
tariff as moderate as the necessities of the
government demaDd" as among the issues
of the campaign, Mrs. Lookwood strayed
from her manuscript and declaimed against
the Canada retaliation scheme. She did
Dot care whether the United States Senate
or the President favored this plan of settling
disputes, it was unwise. This country had
had enough of war. The tariff question
was a bugbear. It was sectional, not national.

CAN'T TELL THE TWINS APAKT.
Comical Errors Arising from the Similarity
of Two Cruisers.
The similarity between the new steel
cruisers Atlanta and Boston are causing
a great dsal of confusion in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, where the batteries of
both vessels are now undergoing alterations.
They are twin ships, and are so
exactly alike that even neither commanders
nor crew can distinguish one
from the other even after reaching the
deck.
The Boston is lying at the wharf directly
at the foot of the road from the
main entranc?fto the water front, while
the Atlanta lies to the east of the big
dry dock. Going from the entrance to
the Atlanta the officers of that vessel are
obliged to pass the Boston, and very
often they walk on board, mistaking her
for their own vessel. Recently Captain
Francis M. Bunce, who commands the
Atlanta, boarded the Boston and walked
down into the cabin. The arrangement
of the furniture was somewhat different
from that in his own vessel, but it was
not until he had taken off his hat and
seated himself that he noted his surroundings
and recognized his error.
The surgeon of the Atlanta did the
same thing. He walked into the stateroom
in the Boston corresponding with
his own on the other vessel, and it was
the absence of some trinkets that adorn
his quarters that led him to inquire
where he was.
The best joke of the whole trouble,
however,, is on Lieutenant Bradley A.
Eiske of the Atlanta. He was out in the
yard a day or two ago drilling his gun
squad, and when retreat from drill was
sounded he marched the whole squad on
board the Boston. He was at the rear
of the squad, and his men had formed
in line on the Boston's deck when he
walked over the gangplank, and was
saluted by Captain F. M. Kamsey, who
inquired:
"Is this a boarding party?"
A hearny laugh and explanation followed
this sally, and then Lieutenant
?isKe marenea nis men oacK to tneir
own quarters.
The work on the batteries of the two
vessels is progressing rapidly, and the
Boston is expected to be ready for sea
by to-morrow night. Monday she will
steam three miles ont to sea, try her
gnns, and then^retnrn to the Navy Yard.
The Atlanta will also be in shipshape
very soon.
THE BURNED COMPRESS.
A New One Going Up Beside it Before the
Iron was Cold,
(Charlotte dironicle, Aug. 30.)
Tlie first intimation that a good many of
our citizens had of the burned cotton compress,
was when they opened their papers
yesterday morning and saw the local, "still
smoking" as it were. Crowds flocked to
the platform all day yesterday to see the
ruins,' which were an odd looking sight, by
the way. The frame building had been
burned from around the compress, leaving
the hugh iron machinery standing high in
the air, the steam chests, cranks, beams and
"teeth" warped by the heat. The ponderous
machine was unbroken, but was rendered
useless by the heat. The platform
1U1 jaiuo iiiuuuu uau uwu uuiucu uu iuj;,
and looked as if somebody had given it a
coat of black paint, the sheds of the Richmond
and Danville depot were charred,
and a half dozen blackened bales of cotton
were scattered around.
.The next thing that attracted attention
was a gang of workmen engaged in tearing
xlfkthe platform just north of the still
smoIiffl? ruins of the old compress, and
digging a TOimdation for the erection of a
new, improvetTan^-Dlore powerful press
lhan the old one. The fiSS^press is to cost
$50,000 and will be built by t!flSv|ttchmond
and Danville and the Carolina&^tral
roads. It will be of the latest improv&i
Morse patent, and will have a capacity
equal to that of the largest presses in the
So^th. The build enclosing the press will
I: of brick. %The excavation for the foundation
was almost completed yesterday,
and will be finished up this morning, when
brick laying will begin. It is expected to
hntrA fh#? npw rvrpss nnt. nn atuI in wnrtincr
j order inside of six'y days, so that the de!
struction of the old press will not materially
i cripple the shipping business at this point.
1 The new one is to be located half on the
Richmond and Danville ground and half
on the Carolina Central ground. The rail1
road had decided upon its erection some
months ago, and the workmen and materials
were en route here even while the old press
was burning. The losses and insurance
were as stated in yesterday's paper, $50,000
on the press, with an insurance of $20,000.
The burned cotton belonged to Mr.
John Yanlandingham, and was insured.
The fire originated on the second floor of
the compress building, where there was a
lot of waste material. It was beyond
doubt the work of an incendiary. The entire
interior of the building was in flames
belore the fire was discovered.
Lotteries nod Dreams.
In lotteries and kindred 'forms of
gambling, unin reject trust In other folks'
luck, and believe instead in coincidences
and dreams. They find the number on
which they finally stake their fate in all
manner of absurd ?nd unmeaning ways.
All the tens of thousands of ticket holders
in a great lottery have selected their
number in r>ome way satisfactory to
themselves, al>out which we hear nothing
when the result is a failure, as in ninetynine
cases out of hundred it necessarily is.
But when the result chances to. be a success,
as in a small proportion of-cases it
must be, the whole story is gravely related
in the papers as though the number
actually bringing the prize had been de
lci mijitru ueiureuanu ny some sciennnc
process of reasoning, and success assured
by the exercise of good judgment and
ingenuity.
Yet it is idle to inveigh against the
folly of such fancies and superstitions.
They have existed in all ages and among
all races from time immemorial. Carrying
in themselves their own contradiction,
they also imrry in themselves what
to believers in luck appears their full
confirmation. For he does not observe
that the ideas about luck which run
through his mind are contradictory, and
in their self contradiction provide for
every event. When success comes to him
by following one idea about luck hia
faith in luck is confirmed; but when
failure arrives he is not a whit less satisfied
that he holds the true faith about
luck, for he ha* another doctrine about j
that event also.?Richard A. Proctor.
Alcohol for Diphtheria.
Alcohol, we make bold to say, is the
prince of antiseptics and the most perfect
and reliable medicine of which we have
any knowledge in diphtheria. Diluted
with equal parts of water and given in
small and repeated doses, the malignant
symptoms of this most fatal malady soon
disappear, and convalescence becomes
assured. It is interesting to note with
what facility the alcohol dissolves the
diphtheric exudation in the throat, lowers
the temj)erature and calms the pulse,
showing its destructive action upon the
germs of the disease, which have been
absorbed by the glands and gained access
to the blood. This remedy has been used
by us in the treatment of diphtheria since
1873, during which time no <%ase of the

ease was in articulo mortis before the
remedy was given. The remedy is also
prophylactic to the disease, as we have
found in many instances where it lias
been expedient to quarantine the patient.
For this purpose it is only necessary for
=xposed persons to use the remedy,

| BASE BALL AT THE ANTIPODES.
A Big All-American Team Will Snow the
Australians the Game.
(N. Y. Star, August 29.)
Mr. A. G. Spalding, -who returned fom
Iiis trip to Fire Island yesterday, was seen
by a representative of the Star at bis office
j regarding bis Australian trip, on which be
| will be accompanied by tbe Chicago team,
of which be is backer." His arrangements
are about completed, and be has selected
nearly all tbe players who are to acccnipan}'
him.
"We will leave Chicago between October
20 and 26, and will sail from San Francisco
November 15," said Mr. Spalding. "We
have practically chaitered the -3,000-ton
steamship Alameda, and will have ample
accomodations for from 75 to 100 passengers,
besides our own party, many of whom
intend to take their families with them.
"For the All-American team I have so
far selected Mr. John Ward, of the New
Yorks, as captain. The others are Fogarly
and Wood, of the Phiiadelphias, Carroll,
the catcher of the Pittshurgs, Tiernan, of
the New Yorks, Ilanlon, captain of the
Detroits, and Mr. Kelly is waiting to close
a contract with me.
"I did not pay much attention to base
ball while away, but the Chicago team is
working very hard for the pennant, and
should the team have the same luck as the
New Yorks they will come very close to
winning it. I suppose it is looked upon
almost as heresy here in New York to say
or even intimate that the New Yorkers will
not win the pennant.
"I will staud all expenses and pay all
salaries. I am responsible for the success
or failure of lire trip. My object in visiting
Australia is to introduce our national
game there, believing that when they see
it played by professionals, the Australians
will find enough merit in it to follow it up.
Whether they will*"' nnt. ?
Mrr-Sprcidiug intends to make quite a
point of cricket, and thirks on account of
the superior batting ability of the ball
pl;.yers, that they will be able to give the
Australians a lively tussle at their own
game. Many of the Chicago team are
dailing practicing at cricket. Mr. Spalding

Mr. Leo. S. Lynch went to Australia last
February, and he arranged for the grounds
and other details. He writes that the
officials of several of the cities there will
render all assistance possible to make the
visitors comfortable and their trip a success.
Mr. Spalding left last night for Boston
to confer with George "Wright, the cricket
player. If it is possible Mr. Spalding will
induce him to make the trip.
Brazil Boand to be a Republic.
Washington, August 27.?Captain Benjamin
D. Man ton, United Stales Consul at
Colonia, Uruguay, who is in Washington
on leave of absence, predicts, in an interview,
the breaking up of the great empire
of Brazil.
"Its affairs," he says, "arc in a precarious
stale. The emancipation of the slaves
was merely a sop thrown by Princess Isabella,
the Regenta, to the Liberals. The
six Southern Drovir-.ces. reallv the strength
of the empire, are ripe for revolt and a republic.
They only await the death of
Dom Pedro, when they will split the empire,
and a president will rule over Brazil."
Consul Man ton says that Uruguay is
prosperous, thriving and growing. 4 "But
the Argentine Republic," he says, "is the
wonder of the world. With a population
of only about y,000,000, she has an immigration
of half a million a year."
