But the average aristocratic titled dead-beat is not likely to heed the Queen's notice, and Mile.

The pedestrian, had ,io skip in a very Undignified manner to es­ cape. "You want your neck wrung very bad­ ly," he said, as he gained the sidewalk and looked after the truck. The driver heard him and pulled his horse up at onoe. "Will you ring it?" he inquired, in gruff tones. The gentlemen took a few seconds to consider the question. Then he said: "No, I'll leave that job for the hang-, man; but I'll flatten your nose, if that will suit you." It appeared that the proposal suited the driver, for in thirty seconds he stood before his fragile-looking man. It was done before the words were well out of his mouth, and as he lay on his back in the gutter the expression on his blood bespattered countenance was that of mingled pain and amazement.

Hewould exchanged between two ardent lovers ! w within a certain space of time. As usual, warmed pair of stockings. Vaseline is recommended as an inunction. Boots that are thin, or tight, and low shoes, should be avoided in cold or damp weather. Heavy, loose-fitting boots, with double uppers and wide soles, are proper. India-rubber overshoes should be worn in damp weather, and should be removed as soon as the wearer enters the house. Slippers should not be worn by either sex during cold or even cool weather. One of the ways in which a cold is contracted is to exchange warm boots for low slippers. Those who do this forget that their feet and ankles have been protected all day, and that they have not only uncovered them, but placed them in the coldest stratum of air in the room. If they take the precau­ tion to draw on over the stockings which they usually wear a pair of heavy woolen socks, the chances of taking cold from wearing slippers are greatly de­ creased. Dr. Bumbold says that 'most women use elastic garters, which com­ press the veins and hinder the return of Dlood from the feet and legs. Almost every patient claims that her garters are net tight, yet gmost of them will ac­ knowledge that when they are removed at night deep creases are found under the knees. In order to keep up the stockings without garters at all, they should be pulled on over the stocking- knit drawers and fastened with tapes. Four of these tapes, about six inches ) long, should be sewed on the drawers at ' about the middle of each thigh, one on the outer side and one on the inner side of each stocking. The tying of the four pairs of tapes secures the hose in their place, and as they are long enough to oome above the knees more of the limbs is. then covered than when they are held up by the strangulating elastic or non- elastic garters. -- Virginia Medical Monthly. Cutting Up With the Patriarchs. . A St. Paul gentleman named Bryant has contributed an article to an Eastern magazine in which he locks borne with the Bible on the question of ages of Adam, Methuslah, Noah and a lot of those early pioneers, and cuts down their ages to a mere bagatelle. At one fell swoop he lops 791 yeat s off Adam, 845 off Methuselah and dismantles Noah, whose age the Bible gives 950 years, to . mere youth of 159. With all due respect to Mr. Bryant we must insist that he keen his hands off of these ancient people. There must be no going behind the returns. The Bible says explicitly, "And all the days that Adam lived were 980 years, and he died." Jhis plain, unvarnished statement has stood the test of more than 4,000 years, haf peen accept ±d all over the world by Jew and Gentile an thesolemn truth, only to be called in question at this late day by a man in St. Paul. It must be anoth­ er case of flour gas. We cannot look at in any other light. The idea that Moses would go deliberately to work and raise the figures on these old patriarchs, seven or eight hundred years, when no possible motive could exist for his doing so, is all politics. Moses thought just as much of his reputation, and was every bit as careful in making his figures, as our Agricultural Commissioner is in opinions differed, and the discussion waxed warm. Presently a fiery youth offered to bet anybody present the Ger­ man equivalent of a 10-pound note that he and his betrothed would kiss each other 10,000 times within ten hours, provided they were permitted to partake of some slight refreshment at intervals of half an hour during the performance. His wager having been accepted and the money posted the affianced couple addressed themselves to the achievement of their congenial task.

Bob Ingersoll has tried to prove that Moses made mis­ takes, but though Bob succeeded in proving the innocence of Brady and the other Star Route men, he never has knocked any large amount of stuffing out of this dead man, that has been dead several thousand years. At least, in the opinion of most people the dead Moses is several lengths ahead of the live Ingersoll, and wiM come under the string first.

The chief writers who have drawn great prizes of literature in this century are Scott, Macaulay and Diokena. The conspicuous fact about Macaulay is Srecisely this, that literature was never is main occupation till the last years of life. He was primarily a politician and a legislator, and a jty large part of the enduring merit of fcaa work is due to the fact that it is the WOfk of a man whose interest in history IWI primarily that of a maker at hiatoimif^ "Essays," which arefiiB Unlit IT lili|)|m>ffl(f were a mere by-plav and pleasant occupation for leisure, and not the main business of his life, or the labor to which he looked for support. If we come to Scott and Dick­ ens, the moral is as clear as it is painful. For Scott I profess the profoundest rev­ erence. His greatest works seem to me to deserve even higher praise than they have yet received. But who can speak of Scott without painful thonghts about theluckless ambition typified by Abbots- ford, and the ill-omened combination of the author and the speculator? When Bryon ridiculed Scott for his half-a-crown a line, Scott answered manfully and honestly that he was not ashamed of turn­ ing an honest penny by his labor, but we can see only too well that the satirist had aimed at a weaker place than ho knew. Of Dickens I will only say this: That to my mind the most melancholy record of any author's life that I know is the last volume of Forster's "Life," in which we see how a man of fine genius may be worn to death by vulgar ad miration and the intoxication of pecuniary success. It is bad enough that authors should be starved or forced to uncougeuial labor, or have to toil through untold gloom of despondency and dyspepsia in forcing their way to the front, but it is perhaps still worse for their lasting reputation, that they should start with splendid successes, and be stimulated by the shouts of the multitude to goon making more and more splendid suc­ cesses, till they have exhausted tliem> selves in nwnni"^in gMapifig vAfc, cheap^ triumphs. , J;1*-V u ,i --r . • ;.v Belies Found In a Roman Tower. A Eoman tower, discovered in the Sab- Ion quarries in Lorraine, have been par­ tially unburied and searched to the depth of about five meters. The walls are in a good state of preservation, being constructed of white stone and held to­ gether by a fine red cement harder than the stone itself. A number of interest­ ing relics have been found among these ruins. Outside the tower is some fine sand, to a depth of 1m. 50c., while in­ side a layer of dark earth contained some large pieces of tile and bricks of rather extraordinary dimensions. Aathe Romans paid taxes according to the number of their tiles, tf^f deemed it wise to have thorn made as large as pos­ sible, and these specimens measure from Om. 15 to 0m. 40 iu length, and Qm. 3 to 0m. 10 in thickness. They are in splen­ did condition, being of a bright red color, and haviug a metallic sound which indicates the excellence of their mauu- facture. The Romans exposed their tiles to the air, allowing them to dry be­ fore placing them in the ovens, where they were subjected to the highest heat, which, however, was only reached in slow and progressive stages. France was well wooded during the Roman epoch, and for that reason the manufac­ ture of tiles presented no difficulties. A number of statuettes and coins and in­ scriptions to pagan deities have been brought to light, and they tend to show that some of these relics belonged to the legions stationed at Lorraine from the year 50 to 300 of the Christian era, The tower is vaulted, and is supported on masonry in the form of four arches --American Remitter qf Pari*.

The facts of this Lynch-Chalmen contest have been often stated, but they will bear repetition. The Sixth distriot of Mississippi is composed of a tier of counties largely inhabited by blacks ex­ tending from the northern to the south­ ern boundaries of the State. The dis­ trict was expressly constructed for the purpose of massing the Republican vote and giving it the privilege of electing a Congressman in that one district out of the six in the State. But the Demo­ crats coveted it. They could not keep their hands off it, and finally they seized it by violence in 1875, and have ever since retained possession of it by fraud. In 1878 the Republicans made no con­ test, but let the district go by default. In 1880, however, encouraged by the candidacy of Oen. Garfield, and looking forward to a contest in the House, they again put forward Mr. Lynch, who had before 1875 for two terms been their Representative in Congress. Of the votes actually east, Lynch had a major­ ity of considerably more than 4,000, ex­ clusive of a number of boxes containing large majorities that were taken away from the country precincts and de­ stroyed The Democrats set about over­ coming his majority, and they accom­ plished it in three ways. First--They held that a kirge number of ballots which had plain printer's dashes on them, marking the divisions of Presidential electors from the Con­ gressional candidate, were illegal, as having "distinguishing marks" on them. The State law prohibits "distin­ guishing marks." The law is undoubt­ edly valid as to State officers, but it has no pertinence to national elections. Moreover, a practical printer, who was oalled by Mr. Chalmers himself, swore that "the dashes were such as any printer of taste would either put in or leave out, according as he wanted to lengthen or shorten the ticket to suit the paper, or otherwise." Seoond--The election officera, all of whom were Democrats, contributed in­ tentionally by their negligence to the throwing out of boxes in which Lynch had a clear majority. They left out lists of voters, or did not sign tne returns, or committed some other trivial in(prmaltiy- which was acoepted as an exouse lor rejecting the whole vote. Third--la many oases they threw out returns and offered no excuse or pre­ tense of excuse for so doing. In several cases there is no hint of the reason why they so acted, but merely the bare reo- ord that they did so. Fourth--They stuffed the boxes. The negroes voted open ballots, and their votes were counted as they went into the box by reputable bystanders: yet the eleotion officers, after taking the boxes home with them over night, e&lmlv re­ turned in the morning large majorities for Chalmers, cutting down the Repub­ lican vote one-half or more in districts where the result should have been the other way. By these means Lynch waa defrauded of more than 6,000 votes to which he was fairly entitled, and Chalmers waa given an apparent majority of 500. The Republican party has not a more solemn or imperative duty than the rec­ tification of this great wrong. It can afford to make any sacrifice ani ex­ pend any amount of time in the accom­ plishment of its purpose. The princi­ ples of a free ballot and a fair count must be established now, if ever, and the party can have no more convenient opportunity to assort them than at this t;me, while it is in a majority in the Tn desirability of oormeotfng Hgfctn- ing conductors with gas and water mains has been reoognimed by tfao Saxon government which has issued Instroe- turns as to the best ** * " " " the OMmeotkmSb Beformlng the IJemocratic Party From the Inside. A political analysis of the vote by which the Tariff Commission bill passed the House of Representatives, as well as the debate that took plaoe on it before the final vote was reached, clearly es­ tablishes the fact that the Demccratio party is hopelessly divided upon the tariff question. This has been apparent enough before to careful observers who have watched the growth of the new de­ parture from the old Bourbon motto of "a tariff for revenue only ; " but since i the last Democratic National Conven- j tion, and the falling from grace of its i candidate, Oen. Hancock, on this great question, there has been no such formal I demonstration against free trade as is contained in the speeches and votes on the Tariff Commission bill. It looks now as though the only issue that the tariff question is likely to raise in the next few years is to be confined to the Democratic party, and not to be made a bone of contention between the two great parties into whioh the nation is now divided. With Sena­ tor Yoorhees ant? ex-Gov, Hendricks in the West, and ex-Senator Eaton, of Con­ necticut, and ex-Speaker Samuel J. Randall, ot Pennsylvania, in the East, all favoring "incidental protection to American industry/' together with the support the new policy is certain to re­ ceive from the new South, as is indi­ cated by the votes pf fifteen Southern Congressmen who supported the Tariff Commission bill, the difficulty in fram­ ing the next Democratic platform on this subject can readily be imagined.

It is proposed as a preliminary step that leading Republicans in the Southern States, without regard to the factions into which they have divided' themselves in some of those States, shall be invited to come to Washington t<» confer with and advise the oommittee concerning the situation in Congress­ ional districts where the eleotion of m Republican or Administration Independ­ ent may be made a reasonable certainty. It has come to be understood since the Mahone movement in Virginia, why it ia better for men who have heretofore affil­ iated with the Democrats to call them­ selves for the present, not Republicans, but Readjusters. or Independents, or something else that does not smell of the bad odor of Republicanism ss known in that part of the country, from its ex­ periences with the kind of Republican* who led the party there in reoonstruo- tk>n times. Many liberal-minded Dem­ ocrats, who are heartily disgusted with Bourbon Democracy in the Southern States, would willingly join in a "re- .adjuster" or anti-Bourbon move-:, ment, which - to all inteht and> purposes might be a Republican movement, yet they would not take tlie social and business risks that might follow a declaration that they had gone squarely over to the Repubhaan party. This is in brief the explanation which they give of the necessity for making their fight against Bourbonism, in the manner in which Mahone, of Virginia, and Felton, of Georgia, have done it, but they say it is only a question of time, and that within a few years the liberal element of the Democratic party, whioh has so long chafed under the rule of the Bourbons, will have beoome ao- customed to fighting the Democrats, and it must inevitably oontinne to draw re­ cruits from that faction and a permanent anti-Democratic party will be estab­ lished. They say this is the only prac­ ticable way to obliterate the color line, and it will do it effectively, for as soon as the native white people are per­ manently separated into two politiocl parties each will seek the aid of colored - voters and the negroes will themselves , divide between the two parties. When this condition of things is brought about, fair and free elections will be held in the Southern States, and the colored people will secure their political rights. South­ ern Independents represent that a con­ dition precedent to this desirable end is that the denunciation of the Southern people in Congress and in the Northern Sress must not be revived. These may e efficient means for rallying Repub­ licans in the Northern States, but the Bourbons would not ask any better cam­ paign literature than such speeches furnished for firing the Southern heart and keeping the South solidly Dem­ ocratic.

' 1 should think you would es­ teem it an honor to work for him for nothing.' Field was pretty near as stingy as Vanderbilt. I had an auto­ graph book then, ana one day. after I had got well acquainted with Cyrus, I asked him if he wouldn't give me his signature? ' What do you want with my autograph? 'I suppose yon want me to put my name down here on this piece of paper, and then you can make out an order on me for money.'
