man who probably hailed from Buffalo
played a powerful mean trick on a Detroit
bridal coupleat Niagara Falls the other
evening. They went to a hotel and registered,
had supper, and then started out for a
night view or the Mighty Roarer. They had
not gone far when a man called to them and
said:
"Have you just been married ?"
"We have," answered the groom.
"Going to stay here a day or two ?"
"Yes."
"Having registered at my hotel, you
probably intend to remain there?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, I want to say a word to you. I
don't want any duck-deary nonsense around
my house. I want no popsy-wopsy Dusiness
on the veranda. I want no squeezing hands
on the balconies or feeding each other at
the table."
The groom let his arm fall from his bride's
waist in a slow and painful manner and the
stranger continued :
"The first time you call her peaches and
cream, or she calls yon her darling, out you
go."
"Y-es; sir."
"She's no sweeter than ten thousand other
girls, and you're no more of a darling
than I am, and I won't stand love-sick
nonsense."
He walked away with that, and people at
the Falls who knew the bridal couple were
amazed to hear thein address each other as
Mr. and Mrs., and to see what precautions
they took to prevent touching hands' or betraying
any symptoms of love. They put
in two wretched days, and it was only as
they were upon the point of leaving that
they discovered how a base villain had
duped them.

was in and directed them where to put it.
The darkies expected to get a quarter apiece
at least for their extra trouble, but alas! the
doctor did not give them anything at all.
He forgot all about their sufferings in carrying
the heavy desk up two flights of stairs.
They consulted together for a moment in
the hall, and then they began to fight and
pound each other, calling each other all manner
of vile names. No such uproar had
been heard since the adjournment of the
Legislature.
Dr. Blister, hearing the noise, came out
and wanted to know what was the cause of
the disturbance.
"Disheah niggar kep' for hisself de money

"You is a liar. De doctor didn't gib me

retorted Jim.
"You are both wrong, boys," said Dr. Blister.
"I didn't give either of you anything,
but I'll make it all right. Don't fight any
more," and taking out his pocket-book he
gave them a quarter each.

The Unluckirst of Men.?A venerable
tramp entered an Austin business house
and said to the proprietor : "I am the most
unfortunate man in the world; please do
something for me." "I don't know who
you are," replied the merchant; "you may
be an impostor." "Here is a certificate
from Parson Jordan, of Galveston, that I
am a hard-working, honest man, who has
been unfortunate." "A certificate from
Parson Jordan, of Galveston?" asked the
merchant. "Yes, sir; here it is," replied
the mendieant, handing the merchant a
paper. The merchant looked at the paper
ana said: "Parson Jordan, of Galveston, is
my brother. I know his signature very
well, and his certificate on that paper is
forged." "Just as I expected," whined the
mendicant: "I told vou I was the most un
fortunate man in the world. Just think of
me coming: to the brother of Parson Jordan,
of all the people in the town, and showing
him that forged certificate when there is
not another in Austin who knows his signature."?Texas

fine sample of the stock on the show case
and attempted to pick it up for examination.
The German storekeeper, who saw
the movement, shouted:
"Mine friend, dots besser you look pooty
veil out. Dot gun vas loaded, und vhen he

The gentleman, thinking to have some
fun with the German, replied: "A gun
can't kick ; it has no legs."
"Vat," said the store-keener. "He don't

?"
"Yes, sir."
"What evidence can you give us of your

"Evidence you cannot dispute. I read a

"Go to the asylum and tell the keeper.
He'll admit you. In positive cases certificates
are not necessary."
You should learn some trade, my son,
said an Austin gentleman to his young
hopeful. "Bricklayers are getting $0.50 a
day, while lawyers can't afford to ride in
the street cars."
"Pa, why didn't you learn a trade when
you were a boy? "
"That is not only a silly, but an impertinent
question. I didn't learn a trade when
I was a boy out of regard for your feelings.
I wanted to give you an opportunity to say
that your father was a gentleman."
"It can't be helped now," replied the boy
moodily, "but I wish you had consulted me,
for if we had arranged for you to be the
bricklayer I could have been the gentleman
myself."

the following questions of a little girl.
'What is the plural of man?" "Men."
"Very well; and what is the plural of
child?" "Twins," immediately replied
the little girl.
"Do you think I would make a very

THE PANAMA CANAL.
. !
won KM EX OX THE GREAT HITCH-WAGES
HABITATION, FOOD, ETC.
There are many contractors working for
the Canal Company, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly. The Canal Company furnishes
all the plant, charging six per cent, interest
on its cost. The contractors, it is said,
deposited $300,000 as security.
The machinery and labor are drawn from
many countries. The locomotives are Bel?ian
and American, the steam shovels and
erricks American, the dumping cars almost
exclusively Belgian and French. The large
cars hold six cubic meters each ; the small
ones, or "push cars," hold half a meter each.
The contractors do the work for the com
pany under the direct supervision 01 tne
engineers of the company, who are distributed
among the sections, and report daily to
its head office. Mr. Dingier, the director
general, visits all sections.
Jamaica furnishes nearly three-fourths of
the laborers, and nearly all the blacks. The
remainder are a very much mixed company.
At one canal camp?the Emperador
section?no less than eight languages are
spoken?English, Spanish, French, Italian,
German, Portuguese, Chinese and Hindustani.
The men are lodged in comfortable barracks
furnished by the company. A common
laborer gets from $1.25 to $1.50 a day
in Colombian currency, of which $1 is worth
seventy-eight cents in gold. In his native
"Isle of Streams" for harder work the Jamaican
laborer would receive all the way
from Gd. to Is. Gd. English money, or from
15 to 274 cents. Hence the popularity of the
work with the men. The Jamaicans are
excellent laborers if properly handled. The
firemen and engineers, also Jamaicans, earn
from $2 to $5 a day. These negroes are the
only laborers who can work in such pestilential
climates without imminent risk of
being stricken down by malarial disease.
The fevers cut off other workmen in hundreds.
White laborers disappear like snow
before a July sun.
The Colon riots, and the feeling of which
those riots were a symptom, have sent home
nearly 7,000 Jamaicans, men imported at a
cost varying from $10 to $15 each. The L'arthagenian,
a native Indian, is the natural
foe of the peaceful Jamaican. Labor riots
have occurred and will occur. In one such
riot at Matuchin, in April, 1883, eighteen
Jamaicans were killed outright and many
were wounded. TheCarthageniau is a bold,
bad man, who does fearful cutting with
with his native machete, a sword-like knife.
This race hatred will be a source of great
trouble to the company.
The canal company have made a faithful
attempt to house their men well, and try
and keep them in health. Good barracks
and houses are furnished them free of cost.
They feed themselves. To provide against
the sickness, and very heavy death rate a
magnificent system of hospitals has been
erected on the Panama side. In the vast
hospital city there erected nearly seventy
buildings can be counted, all of the highest
class, and well adapted to tropical conditions.
In short, it is a city in itself, with
gas, water, residences, and chapels. The
distance from the porters' ledge to the upper
wards is over half a mile. Extensive
stables permit carriages for the staff surgeons.
Pnysicians and Sisters of Charity,
aided by a regiment of blacks, take the very
best care of the sick. In erecting this vast
system of hospitals M. I)e Lesseps has given
the world a proof of his knowledge of the
"deadly tropics." So far, it is said, over
$3,000,000 has been expended on this site
alone, and when the writer left Panama
new buildings were going up. For this
forethought and solicitude for the welfare
of his employes M. De Lesseps deserves the
warmest praise. He may build the canal,
with time and money ; he cannot alter the
deadly climate of a country justly called in
England the grave of the European.
The death rate on the Panama side of the
Isthmus before the arrival of new fuel for
disease was sixty per 1,000 in some years to
eighty in others. The real death rate
among canal men is not generally known to
the world. Without giving the exact figures?government
and consular?in my
possession, I may say that it was 100 to 110
per 1,000 last year.
With time, with men, with money in
fabulous sums, M. De Lesseps can complete
the canal; and if it is done in 1898 he will
have executed wonders. After four years7
work, and the expenditure of over $91),000,000
gold, but a twentieth is done, admitting
the accuracy and fullness of the company7s
figures. That such a waterway, if ever
completed, will be a valuable possession
for mankind, all will admit. That it will
ever pay even one per cent, on outlay is
very doubtful in the minds of those who
have watched and studied the problem, and
who are as familiar with the satistics of the
world's tonnage as even the sanguine projector
of the Panama canal himself.
A Profession of Hard Work.?The
successful journalist of to-day is the man
who can supply any department of his paper
were he called upon to do it. This may
grate upon the ears of the young man who
has cherished such noble ideas of his chosen
profession; but when he comes from the
realms of fancy to name successful men
whose steps he would like to follow he finds
it a fact. There is no call for young men,
college bred or otherwise, in the editorial
room, and a diploma from a (ierman university
cannot create a demand. Journalism
is a school, and it has a primary department,
as well as all other professions, or
occupations whose goal is a lofty one. The
young man who would make a name in the
profession and yet expects to begin and
finish writing editorials has a distorted
view of the work before him. It is no longer
necessary, however desirable, to have
"worked up from the case," but the idea of
the head of a paper who could not write a
"local," correct a "proof," edit rural correspondence,
and regulate affairs in any emergency
in the composing room may be incomprehensible
to the graduate, but it is ridiculous
to *;he practical journalist. The only
place to master these details is in the office.
But there is one subject paramount in
which the journalist must be ('quipped, and
that is a knowledge of American politics.
It needs no argument to show that the field
for such training is not abroad. It is at

campaigns, each one furnishing the close
observer of events with knowledge and
foresight that shall make his pen a power.
We do not decry the polish and generally
broadening effect of a year or two abroad.
To the young men of leisure and means we
would recommend it, but we would warn
all such against a false hope of substituting
such general culture for the practical newspaper
training only to be obtained by long
hours and rough experience in the several
departments.? Albany Journal.
Astonishing Feats of Jugglery.?In
Delhi, India, we saw the celebrated basket
trick, which is sometimes poorly imitated j
by professional magicians in this country.
A native produced a basket and a blanket,
and after permitting us to see that they contained
nothing, inverted the basket on the
J ground, and covered it with a blanket. I
i We paid no attention to the incantations,!
but kept our eyes fixed on the basket and
the space around it, resolved that no boy ;
should be smuggled into it or out of it with-1
out seeing him. What made the feat still |
more wonderful was the fact that the per- j
j former stood in a clear space and we could j
look down upon him as he proceeded. He
; went through the customary act of thrustI
?' 1 ^l. M/Iur.l. f KA t i/iAO Af f hn :
I nig a ovYUiu uuua^u un.- uuviouwo \jl WIV? ;
basket, when the cries of a boy were heard
as if in mortal pain, issuing from the basket.!
Turning it over there was a boy within, i
apparently unhurt and seemingly enjoying
I the fun. ltestoring the basket, with the j
blanket over it, to its former position, with
the boy underneath it, the juggler went
through with some incantations, and then
running his sword under the basket, tossed |
it away from him. Turning over the bas- j
j ket no boy was to be seen. So far as any-!
thing could be observed, there was 1101
possible place in which the little fellow
could be concealed. Another feat, quite as j
astonishing, we saw performed in the
streets of Constantinople. An itinerant ma- j
gician showed us a cane which had the appearance
of being wood and very knotty. 1
This he tossed into the air as high as he
could, and when it struck the ground it took ]
the form of a live serpent, with blazing j
1 eyes and rapid movements. It looked like I
a dangerous specimen, and one which no
man in his senses would like to approach.
Catching up this monster, the fellow coiled
it around his neck and fondled it while it
writhed and exhibited the most venomons
qualities. Throwing it high up into the
air, it fell to the ground the same cane
which we had handled at our ease.
THE PAMPAS.
The peculiarities of these vast plains,
which descend from the Andes to the great i
river basin in unbroken monotony, are the
absence of riyers or water stotage, and the
periodical occurence of droughts, or "siccos,"
in the summer months. These conditions
determine the singular character of its flora
and fauna. The soil is naturally fertile and
favoroble for the growth of trees, and they
grow luxuriantly whenever they are protected.
The eucalyptus is covering large
tracts wherever it is enclosed, and willows,
poplars and the fig surround every estancia
when fenced in. The open plains are covered
with droves of horses and cattle, and
overrun by numberless wild rodents, the
original tenents of the pampas. During the
long periods of drought which are so great
a scourge to the country, these animals are
starved by thousands, destroying, in their
efforts to live, every vestige of vegetation.
In one of these droughts, at the time of my
visit, no less than fifty thousand head of oxeu
and sheep and horses perished from starvation
and thirst, after tearing deep out of
the soil every trace of vegetation, including
the wiry roots of the pampas grass.
Under such circumstances the existence of
an unprotected tree is impossible. The only
plants that hold their own, in addition to
the indestructible fthistles, grasses and clover,
are a little herbaceous oxalis, producing
viviparious buds of extraordinary vitality,
a few poisonous species, such as hemlock,
a few tough, thorny, dwarf acacias
and wiry rushes, which even a starving rat
refuses. Although the cattle are a modern
introduction, the numberless indigenous
rodents must always have effectually prevented
the introduction of any other species
of plants; large tracts are still honeycoined
bv the ubiquitous biscacho, a gigan
tic rabbit and numerous other rodents still
exist, excluding rats and mice, pampas
hares and the great nutria and carpincho
on the river banks. That the dearth of
plants is not due to the unsuitability of
the subtropical species of the zones cannot
hold good with respect to the fertile valleys
of the Andes beyond Menzona, where a
magnificent hardy flora is found. Morever,
the extensve introducing of Enropean
plants which has taken throughout the country
has added nothing to the botany of the
pampas beyond a few species that are unassailable
by cattle, such as the two species
of thistles that are invading large districts
in spite of their constant destruction by the
fires which always accompany the siccos.
The Liquor Laws of All the States.
A special effort was made to obtain a statement
of the methods adopted in the several
States and Territories of the Union in dealing
with the liquor question, and answers
were received from the several secretaries of
State as follows:
Ironclad prohibition States with constitutional
provision against the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors : Vermont,
Maine, Iowa, and Kansas?4.
Prohibition State, but no constitutional
provision : New Hampshire?1.
States in which prohibition has been tried,
but either for lack of success or change in
public sentiment, changed to milder methods:
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin?o.
States and Territories having general and
stringent license or "local option" laws:
Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, South Carolina, Arkansas,
Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Dakota and

? ? ?
Strong Drink Makes Weak.?Strong
drink is, in a sense, the weakest of all drinks
in its fruits, and the most prodigal also of
that which is not only the strength but the
glory of man. It enfeebles his body and
hurls the mind from the loftiest and most
brilliant eminence, and lays it prostrate in
the dust of inert imbecility or driveling idiotism.
It squanders the money, and leaves
families in .squalor and discomfort who
would otherwise be well clothed and happy.
The landlord's pleasant greeting is hollowness
itself, rendered even more hollow still
by the mercenary inspiration which prompts
it. We do not light fires for the herring's
comfort, but to roast him.
"But, doctor, I must have some kind of a
stimulant," cried the invalid, earnestly. "I
am weak and it strengthens me. I am cold,
and it warms me."
"Precisely," came the old doctor's truthful
answer. "See here; this stick is cold,"
taking up a stick of wood from the hearth
beside the bed and tossing it into the fire?
"now it is warm. But is the stick benefited
?"
The sick man watched the wood first send
out little puffs of smoke and then burst into
flame, and replied :
"Of course not; it is burning itself."
"And so are you when you warm yourself
with alcohol. You are literally burning up
the delicate tissues of your stomach and
brain. Every time you are taking it to give
you strength, you are becoming weak.
And the stronger the liquor is, the weaker
it makes the drinker."
Uniform Gauge for Railways.?It is
a very yopular impression that all of the
Southern railroads are a uniform gauge of
rive feet, and that all Northern railroads are
fixed at the "Ohio" gauge, four feet eight
and a half inches. Formerly all Southern
roads were five feet, but first the Illinois
Central, then the Iron Mountain "narrowed
up," the first to the Ohio gauge of four feet
eight and a half inches, the other to four
feet nine. All the lines of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and its Western system, including
the Fort Wayne, PanHandle and
Little Miami, are four feet nine. There are
a few scattered roads maintaining a gauge
of four feet eight and a quarter, and occasionally
one of four feet eight and threequarters.
Next summer all of the main
lines in ihe South, headed by the Louisville
and Nashville and the Cincinnati Southern,
will change to four feet nine. The matter
is now in the hands of a committee of the
Southern Association, but, while that committee
has not reported, enough is known
now to say that the change has been determined
on, aud that it will occur next summer,
probably in June or July. By unison
of action it is believed the movement will
be much more economical than the changes
made in the past. The plan goes to
the division of the cost of extra tools and i
the employment of extra labor, one road or
system being changed first, the tools and
extra employees will be transferred to the
next, and soon until all the roads, parties to
the agreement have been changed.?Cincinnati
Enquirer.
A Few Cheeking Words for Mother.?Dear
good mother has been reading
the stories for the children, and now she
wants a few cheering words lor herself.
When evening comes, how often we hear
the mother say, "Oh, I am so tired, and
yet I have accomplished nothing to-day !|
The children take all my time; there is al- j
ways something to be done for them." j
Tired, faithful mother, instead of accom-;
plishing nothing, you have accomplished a j
great deal of good work.
There is a record of your day's work j
kept in the upper courts of the king of all j
earth. If you could see it you would find
recorded little acts of love and patience
which you never thought worth while to
mention and scarcely remember.
Very near to the comforter are the tired
mothers. He sees all their self-sacrifices,
all their patient suffering. When they feel
their weakness, He giveth them strength.
Don't he discouraged or disheartened,
good mothers; you have the most important
office of trust given to mortals. Faithfulness
brings its own reward. By and by
the little ones will grow up to be men and
women. They will rise up and call you
blessed. The fruit of your good teachings
and example will be seen in them. The
children will never forget their loving, patient
mother, and the memories of their
home life with you will be the sweetest and
dearest of all their childhood.?Ex.
A Right View.?We have had occasion
to remark more than once, says the Wilmington
&'far, upon the malignant assaults
made from day to day upon ex-President
Davis. He is held up in false colors, is slandered,
everything he says is perverted, and
the Republican, and, for all that, some Democratic
papers also, seem never so happy as
when abusing and burlesquing the gentleman
who was chosen to be at the head of
the Confederate government. He never
sinned any more than Alexander Stephens,
Joseph E. Johnston, Longstreet and others.
iie was not me auinor 01 secessiuu, anu u
his voice could have been heard there would
have been no war. We are gratified to find
one Republican paper just and manly enough
to take a proper view. The Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph says:
We have always herd that the delensive
attitude which the Southern people assume
when Jefferson Davis is attacked is honorable
to them. Davis, at his worst, was and is
no worse than other men prominently connected
with the rebellion ; and yet, mainly
because he was President of the Confederacy,
he has been a particular object of Northern
animosities. Those who with him participated
in the rebellion have for their part
contended that his fault, if fault there was,
was their fault, and that they would not
countenance having him made a scape goat.
A Big Little War.?The New York
Sun has the following: "Exactly ten years
ago the Dutch government began a war at
Acheen, in the north of Sumatra, which has
continued without interruption down to last
month. The forces of Holland have been
perpetually engaged, mostly around the
town of Acheen, but occasionally elsewhere
i n northern Su matra. The war has weighed
down the Dutch East Indies, the national
budget of which has shown an annual deficit
of from 9,000,00(1 to 15,000,000 of florins, caused
mainty by it. An army of about 20,000
men has had to be maintained, fighting
almost under the equator, by constant drafts
from Java and ultimately from home. The
result of efforts of such magnitude continued
over ten years has been nothing. The
Acheenese are still in arms and unsubdued.
By constant fighting they have been clear?

around the port of Acheen. This the Dutch
will continue to hold by means of redoubts
and a large force. The blockade of the other
ports has been raised; two of them only,
Oleleh and Pedis are retained by a force
said to number 5,500 men. The rest of the
Dutch forces are to be withdrawn, and the
war is at an end until the Sultan likes to
resume his attacks on the fort."

Tn<lig*o?tioii Cured!
I suffered more than five years with indigestion,
scarcely able to retain tlie simplest food on
my stomach. The burning sensation was almost
intolerable, and niv whole system was deranged.
I was wakeful and could not sleep,
and consequently more or less nervous all the
time. I declined in liesh and suffered all the
usual depression attendant upon -this terrible
disease. In a word, I was miserable. At last
failing to find relief in anything else, I commenced
the use of Swift's Specific. I began to
improve at once. The medicine toned up the
stomach and strengthened the digestive organs,
and soon all the burning ceased, and I
could retain food without difficulty. I most
eheerfulty bear this testimony, because there are
hundreds' suffering as I was, "and I am sure they
can be as readily healed. Take the prescribed
dose after eating" instead of before.

Free Front Malaria.
In the fall of 1884 I was taken with a case of
malarial fever which prostrated me both in body
and mind. I was drugged after the old fashion
with mercury and other mineral mixtures, but
with no good results. My health was shattered
and my energy gone. My legs and feet would
swell and I had* what everybody thought was
dropsy. These symptoms alarmed me and I
was ready to grasp at any remedy suggested. A
friend advised me to try*Swift's Specific. I procured
three bottles and commenced its use.
The swelling soon subsided, I have taken the
Mirco hnrtlnu which mndft a nerfect Clire. and I
feci like a new man to-day. There never was a
more meritorious medicine offered to suffering
humanity. It has wrought wonders for me.
