( 1, a s follow : A "ell-in formed, bioatf-minded, pat tie, un- «"(liish man, n lio iives and labors for the itnod of others, using his position sim- p ly for the public goo*]. With tins deVm'dion I am candid when I say 1 dt 't 1»l ie\ e there are one dozen statesmen n the United States congress, both uppe lad lev er houses. It is a wonder to n:e th it the nnusses have any respect at all tor our public men, for they are inaliirned and slandered and gossipped about by pres-, pulpit ai d parlor. Their im) tives and conduct are alike de nounced, and there is very little incen- tiu> these days for broad-minded, nr- K'itish statesmanship. Many men fco intooflicc po d men. 'out how long tliev i a i remain in olliee and come out good men I am not in a position to answer, ('lay, Calhoun and Webster are held up as the three models, with Washington and Jefferson heading the procession. ]t is true (hat in their day they were maligned and slandered just as the best men are to-day in public life. Ilov- ever much England may honor her liv ing men. America seems only to honor her dead. Insults and ignominy forthe living; dowers and fulsome praise for the dead, seein« to be our method of dealing with our best men. We have another class in public life, hnmvn as politicians. They are dif ferentiated from statesmen in that they are ignorant and selfish and un reliable. An empty wagon makes much more noise than a, loaded one. A bark ing dog seldom bites. A steamship’s whistle makes more noise than her pro pelier. Politicians are always partisans, championing party interest and party ends, with no reference to patriotism or the rules of right. I’cing the tools | of other parties, it is easy for them to [become fools for monopolies—tools for I anybody to handle where t he hope of [reward or the fear of punishment stands out—a weather cock turned in any ili- [reetion by any gust of wind. Then wo have in public life the dem- I'Sgogue, a kind of demijohn-ngogue. wlio is nobody's dog—everybody’s dog. flic will euss and drink with the gang, pile will talk in the meeting, lb- carries ^ a llibio in one pocket and a bottle of vhisky in the other. He is a saint or a devil, a fool or a knave, a jackass or a skunk, a keg of beer or a bottle of cliainpaign, anything from a game of craps up to the leading a prayer meet- ii,.r. On every ship he can he either a cabin passenger or go on as a steerage. We have many in public life like this. 'Plica we have what the newspapers call blatherskites. 1 do not know Ike meaning of the word, literally. 1 know some men to whom it is applied; ami a fellow who can out-IIcrod Herod and go bevoml the lines where sense and thought will go, who talks with the ] icaningless bray of an ass and fires tnipty cartridges in every direction, searing women and children but never wounding a man—fic is my ideal of a blatherskite. It is true we have iu public life to day hundreds of men who are neither f statesmen fir politicians or demagogues or blatherskites. They are litt le fellows who stand for nothting.donothingand amount to nothing. Nature seems to have put them into the world on the same idea that the girl ate the lettuce- - ’’just to fill up on.” I had rather be a blatherskite, than nothing. A blather skite is something and somebody and may be converted and made into some thing better. But the God of nature has made everything of something else ience the evening and morning w ere the first day in this world’s history. It would be a some of infinite satis faction to the public if they could analyze the motives and discern the characters of public men. The hardest task we undertake is to analyze and pn- derstaud the motive of others; v/hen it is periiaps always essential in thiC un derstanding of the actions of another to know his motive. Why sonnj men are for the free and unlimited coinage of silver; why some men arc tjor the single gold standard; why some men are for the revision of the tariff; why some men idolize Mr. Cleveland as a patriot ami a si.iYi.'v . ;. <h>. nouncc him as a "besotted tyrant;” why some believe lie lias sold out to Wall street, and others believe he is only break-water between the nation and universal bankruptcy; why .•ionic men believe and say Carlisle ip tlm brainiest and brightest man in tlic nation’s service to day, and others denounce him as the "Judas from Kentucky,” we cannot tell. We would love to know Hie motive of men who say and do these things, if their motive be patriotic ami what they say is true, this nation stands disgpagcd to-day. If what they say of me a and measures is true, then the nation ought to consign all of them to iufnu^r and disgrace. If all men are defamecMthen none are defamed. It nil are^^ffaised then none are praised. If all are statesmen then none are Btates^P^n. |f an are blatherskites none are blatherskites. Just ns iit Is true in the church, if ell the church I ore liypnrritcu then none are hypo crites; if all are good then none are good. 1 here is a diiTereneo; but what Is said of one is sail) of all our public men to- .■hiy, by some. If we pick and cull the newspnpeis for one month, we will sec that here and yonder, now and then, f> here a little and there a little, wu cuu get enough, if it were nil true, to con sign the whole national congress from the white house to the page in congress to infamy and the penitentiary. Who can distinguish I’m irut!! from a lie when spoken of • u’ollc i a? There ought to be some means I y which ;!.e public could know whether these say ings are true or fnl-e. 1';. . tyism is the fond parent of Hie riolitie: •n, duu:;- gogue and blatherskite.

The trans-Mississippi congress, which met in Omaha November 25.last,adopted resolutions unanimously concurredin by delegates present from the trans-Mis sissippi states, locating the proposed trans-Mississippi exposition in 1898 at Omaha. From that day leading men in Omaha and the congressional delegation from Nebraska have been busily engaged in pushing preliminary work incident to a full organization of working forces. The exposition will not be, strictly speaking, an Omaha enterprise.

The “Hodge” of, say, Essex or Cam bridgeshire,' with his comparatively poor physique, due to generations of low wages and had feeding, his lack of ambition and loye of slops and l.eer, is not comparable to the intelligent and robust binds of Northumberland or Boxburghshire or the Lot hians. Anyone accustomed to make long walk ing fours in both countries will admit the truth of the following observation: In any purely agricultural district of Scotland you may travel from ten to fourteen miles without passing a single, public house (and indeed tlie disap pearance of many ancient hostel lies is a conspicuous feature of the last dec ade); but tho poorest and most de pressed portions of Essex and SulTolk arc still liberally supplied with beer houses. Grumble as Hodge will about being starved on nine or ten shillings a week, lie lays himself open to the re tort that ho subsists and lias a surplus for ale.

One day he was visiting with bis mamma in the home of a neighbor wlmse Iittie son Vcrnie was making a very crude picture of a house. Becoming discouraged lie asked Elwood to.show him how. While Hie two boys were thus en gaged, Yernie’s father said to him; “Now, if you would take pains like Elwood does you could draw nicely too.” On their return home, Elwood, with his hands pressing upon his : Uimach, exclaimed: “.Mamma, 1 did take pains v/hen I was drawing that picture for Vernie, and I’ve got them yet!”—Ham’s Horn. ba.- sadors w ho are ;.,oii : • aw or who have just returned, ; ■ members of t!:t iv on leave i’iuses und omen nobility and distinguished foreigners.

Dr. Giuseppe l.apponi, lias been heard to say that he himself eats more at one men! titan the holy father eats in ;i week. Every day, unless indisposed, some one is received in private audience. These audiences are usually for the cardinal prefects of the congregations, the patriarchs, archbishops and bishops , w ho are in Borne at the time, and dis tinguished personages. When the weather is line, the pope gene rally walks or dr'r. i s in t be garden, j He is carried out of his apartments to I the gate* in a sedan-chair by the liveried “sediarii,” or chair-porters; or, if he goes out Uy the sm II door known as : thatof Haul V., the carriage awaits him there, and Ite gets in with the Cam- | criere Kcgieto I’arlvr'paute, who is al ways a luonsignor. II is well to say 1 here, for the benelit of non-Catholics, that “iiionsignori” are not necessarily bishops, nor even consecrated priests, the title being really a. secular one. Two noble guards of Hie corps of 50 gentlemen l.nown under that name ride beside the carriage doors. During the great heat of summer the pope after saying mass, goes into the garden about nine in the morning, and spends the whole day there, receiving every one in the garden pavilion ns he would in the Vatican, lie dines there, too, and rests afterwards guarded by the gendarmes on duty, to whom lie generally sends a measure of good wine —anoii. -survival of ncountry custom; and in the * ol of the day he again gets into his carriage, and often does not return to the Vatican till after sunset, toward the hour of Ave Maria. In the evening, about an hour later al. "one of the night,” according to old Homan: computation of time—he at tends at the recitation of the rosary, or evening prayers, by Mgr.

The articles provide that the i exposition shall be opened in June and closed in November, 1898. The re sponsibility for the success of the enter prise must therefore devolve upon the vast empire embracing t he western and Boeky mountain states. The people of Omaha and Nebraska, however, are determined that the proj- shall be pushed to a successful | issue. It was left to them to take the initiative and to put the machinery in motion. To this task the citizens of Omaha have addressed themselves with encigy aid enthusiasm. The corpora tion is organized with a capital stock of $1,Ono.(i)t), with shares at ten dollars, there being a proviso that when $10,000 of the stock shall have been subscribed business shall be commenced. At a re cent meeting nearly $11,000 was sub scribed by those present within a few mYnutos and strong - committees were named to secure furt her subscriptions. A board of eleven directors, as provided was named, among them being the active a ml influential business men of tin’ city. This board elected as their ] resident G. \Y. Wattles, and as secre tary John A. Wakefield. The Yienna 1‘resse of recent date re ports a lecture on Bontgen’s discovery delivered before the Imperial Medical society by I’rof. Exncr, of that city. Tho speaker said no photographic ap paratus Is used in making the Bout gen pictures. The stream of light from the Crookes tube does not pass through any lens. It falls directly upon the ob ject which is to be photographed. An ordinary photographic plate covered by the usual wooden shutter is placed behind the object and the shutter must not be removed. The reason that a photographic apparatus canuot be used is the rays from the Crookes tube are not refracted when passing through a lens. Unlike all other rajs, such as in light, sound, and electrieitj-, these rtij’s do not form waves, but in absolute- lj' straight lines. The Bontgen rays arc not visible to the eje, although they can penetrate wood; neither do they develop heat, nor have they anj f iiiduciice on mag netic instruments. Interesting as are Boutgeu’s pictures and wonderful as are his feats, they are held to be of minor importance compared with the discovery of the existence of straight rays. Bontgen owes his discovery to sim ple chance, lie had on his laboratory table a Crookes tube covered with a cloth. In the course of his work he passed a stream of electricity through it. A piece of prepared paper such as photographers use for taking impres sions chanced to lie near bj'. The scientist suddenly observed straight lines formed on the paper while the cur rent was passing, llis curiositj' was excited and he began experimenting and .stmlj’ing the eiTectof the Crookes electric current. I’rof. Exner exhibited a number of photographs, and prophesied great benefits to medicine and to science gen erally from the new diseoverj*. Pu re Blood means sound health.

Wellington, who has just keen ciceied to succeed Senator Gib son in the United States senate, is known t hroughout Maryland as one of the most eloquent orators of anj' party. He was 1 ot n in Cumberland in 1852, and from the age of 12 has had to relj' upon his own resources. He first found employment in a Chesapeake and Ohio canal store. When IS years old he se cured a position in the Seeouc; national bank of Cumberland. This proved to l o a stepping stone to bis success, for be ruse stead ily until he became paying teller. Hie position which he resigned iu 1SS2 when appointed to a position in the United States sublreusury. Sub sequently retwvnh.g lo Cumberland, he became county treasurer for six years. In 1887 he was the republican candi date for state comptrolier against Col. Yietor H. Baughman, whose majority he reduced to about 5,009. lie was a delegate to the national conventions of 1S81 and 188S. President Harrison ap pointed him United States subtreasur- cr in 1890, a position from which he retired a few months ago with a most admirable record. He ran for congress in 1892, but was defeated by Gen. Wil liam M. McKaig, who in 1S90 had de feated Judge McCouias. Last year he was again lie: candidate for congress, i nd this time was successful, lie. has taken but little part in the proceedings of the present session.

Wright, who occupies the chair of experimental phj’sics at Yale universitj*, and is in charge of the Sloanc physical laboratory*, has, accord ing to the New York Evening Post’s New Haven correspondent, made suc cessful experiments recently in photo graphing objects behind opaque bodies by the agency of cathode rays, in which Prof. W. C. Bontgen, of Germany, has been reported to have achieved remark able results. Prof. Wright used in his experiments a tube in which the exhaustion is car ried to so high a point that the tension of the gas left iu the tube is measured by a few millionths of ordinary at mospheric pressure—the so-called Crookes tube—and eon nee ted to the pole of an induction coil in action. The discharge from the. negative electrode of such a tube gives the cathode rays which, it must be emphasized, are al most nonhnninous. Prof. Wright’s experiments were made vv ith a great v ariety of substances, and it was found that strong impres sions were obtained upon a photo graphic plate even when it w as inclosed in an opaque wrapping of black paper and covered with a pine board half an inch thick. It was evident, at the outset that the order of transparency of ditVerent. sub jects for the light, rays was very"' dif ferent from that which is found w ith Hie cathode rays. Thus pieces of glass were more opaque to these rays than some of the metals or than ebonite, which is perfectly’ opaque to luminous rays, but transmits the cathode rays with great freedom. Journal Uni In Clvrninny. Journalism has now become a univer sity subject in Germany. Prof. A. A. Michelson, head of the de partment of physics at the University of Chicago, addressed the Physics club of the university the other afternoon on the “Dark Bight of Bontgen.” lie took up the details of the recent discovery of the. Vienna chemist as re ported, explaining the 17 exjicrimcnts which Dr. Bontgen performed in the course of his work, lie said the prill cipal quality which interferes with the operation of Bontgen’s method is den sity and not opaqueness. An object may be exceedingly opaque, and yet its molecules be so arranged as to permit the penetration of the cathodic rays. CARRIES OUT A BOYISH VOW.

Moths In an Organ. The organ in a church at Fall River suddenly grew wheezy during the mu sical serv ices Sunday*, and shortly gave out altogether. The organist naturally thought of eels in the water pipe, but it was moths this time. Investigation showed that moths had destroyed much of the feltpaekingand wrought general havoc in the instrument. Women In I’.rliisli CoIlcgcH. Eight of the ten universities of Great Britain now admit women to degrees, and it is likely that Cambridge will soon l»e Hie ninth. The growth of the women’s colleges at this university— Girton and Ncvvnham—is a remarka ble example of woman's progress in academic education.
