Election of Senators by the
People.
The theory of the democratic party
is that tlie people should have abso?
lute and easy control of their govern?
ment. Another theory of the party is
that tlie founders and creators of our
government were wise and just men
who knew what they were doing, and
our present constitution, honestly
expounded and strictly obeyed, is as
?ear perfect as any work of human
lia ods can be.
Facts must be recognized and none
of us cati deny the fact that the
people sometimes, especially under
the excitement of unusual conditions
or events, make very serious mis?
takes. A8 we understand, the senate
was created as the conservative force
of the country. It was purposely
removed from the direct control of!
the people. It is a body of men
chosen, in accordance with old testa?
ment precedent, by chosen men
The people of the States select their
? legislatures, presumably composed
of me? who have established good
characters in their respective coun?
ties and are known by their neigh
bora i: to lt ave intellectual equipment
whiefr^ake* them worthy representa?
tives oTtheir fellow citizens.
This presumption is rather a vio?
lent one sometimes, but is a proper
one in ordinary circumstances.
To these legislatures the people
delegate various po wets, among
others that of selecting representa?
tives of the States in the senate.
This body is so arranged that no two
ine.nbers of it-except in case ot
death or resignation-are chosen by
the same legislature. These men are
i ii tend ed to be removed from the im?
mediate effect of popular agitations,
to represent conservatism and
deliberation, to give the vober second
thought au opportunity to assert its
powers before final ac 'ion can be
taken in any Slatter of F?d?rai legis?
lation.
The same reasoning which would
lead to a conclusion tn favor of the
election of senators by popular vote
would lead us to favor the elections
of justices of the supreme court and
all other judges by the same means.
Very few people ate yet ready to go
that far? Yet the argument which
applies in eoe case would apply weil
iii the other.
As it is our government is bcauli
lally adjusted to avoid despotism on
one hand and anarchy and license on
the other. The peop'e are given the
largest liberty, absolute control of
their government; but in some depart?
ments that control is indirect and
should be so because theie should be
some check upon the occasional popu?
lar frenzies which develop among ali
peoples, the mistakes, sins and blund?
ers of which majorities in every coun?
try this side of heaven are sometimes
guilty. That check gives the people
time to consider, to see the results of
their own action partly illustrated:
and when such opportunities are
given the majority usually corrects
its errors and reaches ri^ht judgments.
The founders cf our government
loved liberty and were in sympathy
with the people, but they understood
human nature, accepted facts and
built in the light of reason a fabric in?
tended to endure ali tests-Greenville

Big Fire in Nsw Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, La, February 17 -
At ll o'clock to-night fire broke out in
the dry goods store of A. Schwartz &
Sons, corner of Canal and Bourbon
streets aod io less than ten minutes the
place was ablaze from the ground to
the roof. The skylight gave way and
the flames shot up more than a hundred
feet above the wall, and the heat was so
great the firemen could not go Dear the
burning building.
In half an hour the place was com?
pletely gutted aod the walls fell io.
The fire thea spread to Philip Werlin's
music store east to Cluverie's drug
store west, and theo to Canal street,
consuming Hankel's dry goods and no
tioos : Johu McCloskey, confectioner;
Jahn, gloves and fancy goods ; Kretger,
gloves and fancy goods, and Nickel
Plate shoe store : It then swept down
Bourbon street and destroyed A. Quib?
ble's store, gloves and fancy go ods ;
Kraus Bros, fancy goods and notions ;
Hoffman's worsted store and fancy
goods, Brill's saloon, Wenger's beer
saloon and Holmes's Bourbon street

Nose Bleeding.
A mild attack of cose bleeding is
beneficial and clears the system as
would an attack of illness. lu the old
or full blooded such ac occurrence may
stave off an attack of apoplexy. If
much blood is lost, or if the attacks are
frequent, great prostration will follow,
aod io some few cases even death has
resulted. Slight attacks soon stop of
themselves, the escaping blood forming
a clot over the bh-ediog part. It is al?
ways wise oot to blow the nose or pick
it for a day or two after an attack or
another oue may come OD.
. A person sofferiog from nose bleed
iog should rest and lean forrard, so
that the blood which escapes may ruo
out of the nostril io fronr, for if the
blood is swallowed it may cause vomit?
ing or sickness Simple attacks are
quickly cure! by applying something
cold to the spine, as a cold doo- key or
cold t-fcone, as boys stop it. M .ire ob?
stinate cases may have the whole of the
spiae spoaged with cold water, and
evco the chest aod Deck as well, the
revulsive action of the cold water ofteu
stopping it.
To insert the fingers up the nostrils
and press on the bleeding part is some?
times successful, so also is snuffiug cold
water op the nostrils, wittie some recom?
mend raising the hands above the head
to 8tor> it. If very great loss occurs it
will be wise to call in a doctor, who

He Gave the Weight.
Patrick was an employee in a gro?
cery where the scarcity of help &ad
compelled the grocer to take in au
assistant who was entirely without
experience. One day the grocer, in
weighing out a purchase to a custo
mer, searched in vain about the scales
for something.
"Patrick J" he called out "where's
the pound weight ?"
"The pound weight is it? Sure
it's Misther Jones that has the pound
weight."
"Mr. Jones has it? What do you
mean ?"
"An' sure, didn't ye lill me to be
perlite to the rigular customers?"
"W?ll, thin ! Misther Jones
comes in the day for a pound o' tay.
An' says he, whin I axed him what
quality o' tay he wad have, d What?
ever ye give me/ says he, 'give me
the weight V So I put in the pound
weight in the package wid the tay,

gone wid it !"
Mr. Spurgeon was accused often
of teaching that baptism was a sav?
ing ordinance. Ile held and en?
forced with exceeding earnestness
the very opposite of this, as his many
published sermons very abundantly
show. Ile did not believe for a
moment in "baptismal regeneration."
"Faith is the indispensable re?
quisite to salvation."
"Faith is the one indispensable
requisite for salvation."
"If this be your teaching, that
regeneration goes with baptism, I
say that it looks like the teaching of
a spurious church."
"I cry out against it because I be
live that baptism does not save the
sou!, and that the preaching of it has
a wrong and evil influence upon
men''

charged with views he never held,

The Champion Fish Story.
Last February the whaling-ship
Star of the East was in the vicinity of
the Falkland Islands searching for
whales, which were very scarce. One
morning the look-out sighted a whale
about three miles away on the star?
board quarter Two boats were
manned. In a short time one of the
boats was near enough to enable the
harpooner to send a spear into the
whale, which proved to be an exceed
ingly large one With the shaft in
?ts side the animal sounded and then
sped away, dragging the boat after
him wi h terrible speed. Ile swam
straight away about five miles, when
he turned and came back, almost
directly towards the spot whe:e he
had been harpooned. The second
boat waited for him, and when but a
short distance away from it he rose to
the surface. As soon as his back
showed above the surface of the water
the harpooner in the second boat
drove another spear into him. The
pain apparently crazed the whale;
for it thrashed about fearfully, and it
was feared that the boats would be
swamped and the crews drowned.
Finally the whale swam away, drag?
ging the two boats after him. Ile
went about three miles and sounded
or sank, and his whereabouts could
not be exactly told. The lines at
tached to the harpoons were slack,
and the harpooners began slowly to
drag them in ami coil them in the
tubs, As soon as they were tauten- j
jed, the whale arose to the sur?
face and beat about with its tail in
the maddest fashion. The boats
attempted to get beyond the reach of
the animal, which was apparently in
its death agonies, and one of them
succeeded, but the other was less
fortunate. T? e whale struck it with
his nose and rps-it it. Tue men were
thrown into the water, and before thc
crew of the other boat could pick
them up one mun was drowned and
James Hartley had disappeared.
When the whale became quiet from
exhaustion the waters were searched
for Bartley, but he could not be found,
and, under the impression that he had
been struck by the whale's tail and
sunk to the bottom, the survivots
rowed back to the ship. The whale
was dead, and in a few hours the
great body was lying by the ship's
side the men were busy with axes and
spades cutting through the flesh to
secure the fat. They worked all day
and a part of the night. They re?
sumed operations the next forenoon,
and were soon down lo the stomach,
which was to be hoisted to the deck.
The workmen were startled while
laboring to clear it, and to fasten the
chain about it to discover something
doubled up in it that gave spasmodic
signs of lite. The vast pouch was
hoisted to the dock and cut open,
and inside was found t tie riiius
! tug sailor doubled up and uucon
! scious. Ile was laid out on the deck
! and treated to a bath of sea water,
j which soon revived him ; but his mind
j was not clear, and he was placed in
the captain's quarters, where ho
remained for a fortnight a raving
lunatic. Ile was carefully treated
by the captain and officers ni the ship,
and lu? fin;;Hy began to gel posses?
sion of his senses.
At the end of the third week lu;
had entirely recovered from thc shock
and resumed Iiis duties. During the
brief sojourn in the whale's belly
Bartley's skin, where it was exposed
to the act ir:, of gastric juices, under?
went a striking change. Iiis face
and hands were bleached to a deathly
whiteness and the skin was wrinkled,
giving the man the appearance of
having been parboiled. Bartley
alfiims thal he would probably have
lived inside his house ol flesh until he
starved, for he lost his senses through
fright and not through lack of air.
Ile says that he remembers the sensa?
tion ol'being lifted into the air by the
nose of the whale and of falling into
the water ; then there was a fearful
rushing sound, which he believed to
be the beating of the water by the
whale's tail ; then he was encom?
passed by a fearful darkness and he
felt himself slipping along a smooth
passage of some sort that seemed to
move and cai ry him forward. This
sensation lasted but an instant,then he
felt that he had more room. Ile ft-It
about him, and his hands came in
contact with a yielding slimy substance
that seemed to shrink from his touch.
It finally dawned upon him that he
had been swallowed by the whale,
and he was overcome with horror at
the situation. Ile could breathe
easily, but the heat wad terrible. It
was not of a scorching, stifling na?
ture, bul it, seemed to open she pores
of his skin and to draw out his vital?
ity. Ile became very weak, and sick
at the stomach. Ile knew thai there
was no hope cf escape from his
strange prison. Death stated him in
the face, and he tried to look at it
bravely ; but the awful quiet, the
fearful darkness, the horrible know?
ledge of his environments, and terri?
ble heat finally overcame him, and he
must have fainted, for the next he
remembered was being iu the cap?
tain's cabin.
Bartley is not a man of a timid
nUure ; but he says that it was many
weeks before he could pass a night
without having his sleep disturbed
with harrowing dreams of angry
whales and horrors of his hatful
prison. The skin on his face and
hands has never recovered its natural
appearance.-Great Yarmouth (Eng?

An hour after the latest arrivals had

Wonder gave place to alarm then,

to go to Jim's cabin and investigate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path, and the visitors found
DO difficulty in reaching the cabin,

In response to their knock they were
invited to euter, and within they found
Dandy Jim sealed io the comer in the

AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR.
The year has been marked by a greater ad?
vance than any similar period since the Mag?
azine was established. Not only has the
literary and artistic excellence been main?
tained and increased, but a corresponding
gain has been made in the sale and influence
of the Magazine. At the end of 1891 the cir?
culation has risen to more than 140.000. It
may justly be promised that the further im?
provements for the year will be proportion?
ate to these largely increased opportunities.
FOR NEXT YEAR.
It is not possible to give, in a brief space,
au account of all the features in preparation,
but the material is deficient in neither impor?
tance nor range of subject. Among the sub?
jects treated :
THE POOR IN THE WORLD'S GREAT
Ol TI ES.
It is proposed to publish a series of arti?
cles upon a seile not before attempted, giving
the results of special study and work among
the poor of the great cities. The plan will
include an account of ihe conditions of life
in those cities (in many lands) where the re?
sults of research will be helpful for purposes
of comparison a? wei: as for their own intrin?
sic interest. While, from a scientific point of
view, the articles will be a contribution of
irreat importance, the treatment will be
thoroughly popular, and the elaborate illus?
trations will serve to make the preeentation
of the subject vivid as well as picturesque.

is to describe the signal occasions when some
decisive event took place, or when some great
