LEASE is a candidate for the United States Senate from Kansas. THE New York Sun claims to an­ nounce authoritatively that President Cleveland will not call an extra session of the Fifty-third Congress. PBECEDENT seems to be against the likelihood of an extra session of the next Congress, and according to a Washington correspondent it is not likely that the proposed move will ma­ terialize. When President Arthur be­ came President in 1881 it was held that he must and would call Congress to­ gether upon certain i&sues which were impending^nd which were agitating the country, principally the proposed re­ vision of tbe tariff. The same had been said when General Garfield became President. There were inter­ national questions, it was held, which demanded immediate ac­ tion. Neither Garfield nor Arthur had the least idea of calling an extra session. When Mr. Cleveland became President in 1S85 the Democratic and independent press throughout the coun­ try demanded and anticipated an extra session for the revisien of the tariff. The circumstances were the same as at the present, but Mr. Cleveland, in pri­ vate conversations, laughed at the sug­ gestion of an extra session of Congress. Every reader will recall how when Gen­ eral Harrison became President it was demanded that he call Congress together for tariff revision. Every­ body seemed to expect an extra ses­ sion till the President said he would not even consider the subject of an extra session. He said the country would fare very well till Congress met in regular session. It is now pointed out by prominent Democrats in Washington that, besides being opposed to extra sessions of Congress in times like these. President Cleveland will have too much to do making changes in offices to war­ rant attention to Congress. It is learned that some of ihe leading tariff reformers are favoring an average reduction of about 20 per cent, from the McKlnley schedule. They expect a bill to be passed by the new Congress and made ^perative two years afterward. IN GENERAL THE steamer Trave has carried 360.000 ounces of silver and 50,009 Mexican dollars.

The Shannon, which fought nod took prize the Chesapeake in 1813, was broken up at Chatnam, parts of her hull toemjr sold at a fancy price'. Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind came to a similar end at Beptford, a chair made out of her timbers Being one of the treasures of Oxford University. The Resolute, which went In search of Sir John Franklin, and, after -beinfir abandoned in an ice-waste was picked up by an American whaler* and returned re fitted by the United States Govern­ ment to this country was moored in the Medway for some vears after­ wards, but ultimately taken into dock gnd pulled to pieces, a suit of furni­ ture fashioned from her oaken tim­ bers beinff sent as a memento to i,be American President. The Sovereign of the Seas, the frrst British three-decker, built in the time of Charles IM 4,to the great glory of the English nation, and not to be paralleled In the whole Chris­ tian world," was accidentally de­ stroyed by fire at Chatham, after much long service. The old wcodcn wall, President, is now a drill ship lor the men of the Eoyai Naval Re­ serve, and is n^ored in the South­ west India Docks; and the Qqeen and the Goliath were sold to a Vauxbalt ship-broker, the entrance to whose yard is still adorned with their huge figure-heads. Of Capt. Cook's Endeav­ our not a trace is left, though several of his scientific instruments have been preserved. Nor is there any trace of the Vitoria, which made the first voyage around the world. All that remains of the Bucentaur, the gorgeous two-decked gondola which BO proudly carried the haughty Doge in the days of tbe Venetian Republic, is one of her masts; while the Betsy Caius, which brought William of Orange to this country in 1688, was cast ajjray 138 vears later. But some famous ships have come to a far more degrading end than that of being broken up. Several English and for­ eign war-vessels which have been sold to the Norwegians are now carrying timber from port to port.

His Hat. " When Mr. Wh.ymper was in Quito, after his "Travels Among the Great Andes," he received a polite'message from His Excellence the President of the Republic, expressing a wish to see'him. Accompanied by Mr. Ham­ ilton, the British Minister, Mr. Wbymper obeyed t.ie summons. Ihe President received him without for­ mality and with much cordiality, dis­ missing a visitor--a colonel in the Ecuadorian army--to the farther end of the apartment. The President became Interested in Chimborazo--'•! should have thought it was 30,000 feet high, at the least," he said--and asked for a description of the ascent This Mr. Hamilton proceeded to give him. Mr. Whymper continues: Finding himself in want of a black­ board, and seeing nothing .more like one than a Mack chimney-pot hat which was on the table, Mr. Hamil­ ton used it to illustrate the spiral ascent, and excited my admiration by the vigor and accuracy with which he traced our route, as he drew a deep furrow through the shining nap, to show how we sank in the snow. While this tete-a-tete was pro- crossing, the President leaning for­ ward on the elbows, intently follow­ ing Mr. Hamilton's discourse, I no­ ticed a movement at the other end of the room, and glancing round, found that the colonel was writhing in agony. It was his hat, and he was on the point of exploding with suppressed rage at seeing his Sunday head-gear used as a blackboard for "that wretched gringo." He .glared and scowled, and seemed ready to sprliig forward and assassiaate aH three of us. Mr. Hamilton was quite unconscious that he was raising a storm, bitt the President noticed my glance, and turning bis head, perceived the state of affairs. His smile caused our min­ ister to look up, and he dropped the hat. With grim humor--which I fear made the colonel go over to the Re­ volutionary party--the President re­ quested Mr. Hamilton to continue, as he was much interested; and then, by a few slight touches, which fortu­ nately went in the direction of the nap, the ascent was completed. Horse-Keeper* and Stabling. Horse-keepers are a subject of great j trouble at the present day. It is diffi­ cult to find men at reasonable wages who at the same time thoroughly un­ derstand four-horse work. In this re­ spect o!d coachmen had a great ad­ vantage over those of modern times. The present horse-keepers are, as a rule, difficult to manage, to say noth­ ing of their conceit, incapacity, and love of strong liquor. It requires a thoroughly competent man to go over the roa«| and keep the^e persons in order. This head servant does not by any means get the praise to which he is entitled. He should be pro­ vided with a buggy; an extra horse should be kept at everv stage, so that he can start any time, day or night, pickup his changes on the road, and see what the horse-keepers are about Moreover, he must be thoroughly familiar with tbe business of manag­ ing coach-horses, it is admitted that some of the best stud-grooms, ac^us- ctomed to hunters and ordinary car­ riage-horses, have signally failed to accomplish this work. Not only is the feeding an art in itself, but tbe stabling is also peculiar. The coach- horse must have more air and less clothing than anv other horse that works, and nothing is more pernicious _ to a highly excited coach-horse than ^fe turn him into a warm stable when he comes off the road. The hours of feeding have neces­ sarily to differ at each stage, owing to the various times at which the horses commence their work, and great care ha3 to toe exercised, especially in Each norse should be numbe be known only oy that nuntl|^'i board being kept at the door oltglipL stable giving detailed instruction!# the horse-keepers. This precaii&ltMl will save the annoyance of oft»re- peated and time-losing mistakes.--- Century. , ^ Ancient Pompeii.. Eighteen centuries have rolleu away since Pompeii, amid mirth, j song, and gayety, sank as it were into [ a living tomb. She was the patron city of the fine arts, and every skilled handicraft had its home "within her walls. The jewels discovered among the ruins---fresh and utnimpalred as on the day they graced some stately beauty--are exquisite in design and color, and compare favorably fclth the best productions of to-day. A joyous, free and easy-going peo pie were the inhabitants of Pompeii On account of its proximity to the sed the city had exceptional facilities for trade, and its citizens did not scruple to make the gains of com­ merce cater to their enjoyment. The theater and the circus of the rural city compared favorably with those of Rome. Sports, banquets, and dances rapidly succeeded each other, attended by the three graces of rev­ elry--wine, women, and song. In the year A. D.t Pompeii was visited by a destructive earthquake, which left a large part of the city in ruins, but another and more magnifi­ cent Pompeii soon arose from the de­ bris, the taste and lavish wealth of the people finding full scope in re­ pairing the ravages of the earth­ quake. * About that time, when Pompeii was in the zenith of its glory, flour­ ished the jeweler of Vera's famous paintiug. He was a Jew by birth, a native of Damascus, who, hearing of the wealth and luxury of the city, de­ cided to try his fortunes there. He was a skilful goldsmith and a con­ noisseur of precious stones. Pur­ chasing a suitable shop in the neigh­ borhood of the gladiatorial shows, he displayed his wares to the admiring gaze of the crowds that flocked to see the popular amusements. His fame soon spread among the fair Pompeiians. In Salathiel's shop was everything dainty and fashion­ able a Roman belle could desire. Sil­ ver lares and penates. with other re­ ligious images, skilfully executed, were arranged there in inviting dis­ play side by side with costly lamps, candlesticks and richly ornamented drinking vessels, and when Salathiel opened his jewel casket, filled with lustrous pearl necklaces and rich brooches, rings and earrings, the eyes of the young women gleamed with a pleasure as bewitching as the pearls their hearts coveted. The ancieut jeweler was a maker of talismans, which were usually orna­ ments of coral, and were worn by the Pojnpeiian ladies to protect them against the influence of the malus oculus, or evil eye, which was sup­ posed to destroy life, wither trees and work other misfortunes. Tnis super­ stition regarding the evil eye exists to-day in some of the remote parts of Italy. This was shortly before the terrible catastrophe of 79 A. D. Like the Sodomites in the time of Lot, they ate, they drank, they built, they planted, they bought and sold, un- consclousof the imp2ndingdoom. In the ruin which followed tradition says that Salathiel was one of the few that escaped to the sea, and that he even succecded in saving his precious jewels. . . v AN PTINOIS TOWN ALMOST ^ DEMOLISHED, , m 5.78 & 5.76 & 6.26 .71 .74 .41 <9 .43 .81 <3 .33 jtia & . 60 .30 & .81 •22!*0 .28! .70 & .80 & 5.00 & 5.75 & 4.00 & .66H .41 & .35 & 6.25 & 5.75 & .68 .40 .31)6 & .48 @ 4.75 <3 6.00 & 4.76 & .70 .45 .34 .57 4.50 5.50 4.26 .TO .46 .37 I .73 - I .4B!£ T .30 4 1 .66 O 6.25 & 6.28 & .83 & .48}$ §.67H .42)* •36 .63 rwo Killed, Many TnJnred-PnbUc BaUd tags and Residences Leveled to the Ground' , Storm Chsneral In Charaeter--T«l» Comnnuiastwa Almost Un­ ited Bn<t nuiwn Away.

The crystallized part of the oil of roses, so grateful in its fra­ grance--a solid at ordinary tempera­ tures, though readily volatile -- is a compound substance, containing ex­ actly the same elements, and in ex­ actly the same proportions, as the gas with which we light our streets.

Yet if the snow be melted it becomes drinkable water. Neverthe­ less, althouga if melted before enter­ ing the mouth it assuages thirst like other water, when melted in the mouth it has the opposite effect To render this paradox more striking, we have only to remember that ice, which melts more slowly in the mouth> is very efficient in allaying thirst Undeairable. When travelling in Mesopotamia, Madam Dieulafoy had an amusing adventure on one of the Tigris River boats. The forward part of the boat was crowded with pilgrims. In pick­ ing her way through their luggage she noticed a beautiful rug. It was old, but the tints were exquisite and the design was beautiful. - She waited until the proprietor of it had finished his prayers, and then asked him its price. His honesty, she concluded, was not what might have been expected from his apparent piety. She declined to pay the exorbitant price which he asked. Presently there was a knock at her state-room door, and a pilgrim appeared with a package carefully wrapped up under his arm. "X have a bargain to offer you," he said, impressively, and he unrolled his bundle. "Do you expect me to buy those?" asked Madam Dieulafoy. "Why not, madam? Did vou not just now w|sh to buy o? my friend Taghui his prayer rug? That !s faded and old, to besure. But then these are more ancient much more ancient, I assure you," replied the pilgrim.

The storm came up without the slight­ est warning and the first intimation the inhabitants of the ill-fated city had of it was when they were wakened from.their slumbers by the crash of their homes al:out their ears. The horrors of an inky darkness lighted up momentarily by flashes of lightning added to the fear and madness which oppressed all minds during the terrible visitation..» Daylight only made more terrible that which night had hid­ den. The spepe^cannot be described. The streets, when lit up by the first streaks of dawn, presented a pitiable scene of ruin and utter desolation. On every hand rose the moans of the in­ jured and the grief of their friends and relatives. The streets were blocked with the debris of the storm's wreck, and for some time it was impossible to getan accu ate list of the sufferers of the terrible visitation. The one given above is believed to cover ail the casual­ ties, and the number of houses wrecked by the storm is fairly complete. Track of the Storm. The storm was destructive and far reaching. Sweeping down from the north came a tremendous storm of snow, rain, and sleet, which, encountering the warm air-currents of "Egypt," devel­ oped three distinct cyclonic storm cen­ ters, diverging from a common center near Bed Bud. Taking a southeasterly couise one part of tho storm passed OQ rapidly through Western Kentucky and Tennessee, leveling everything in its path at Bed Bud, and only when North­ ern Alabama was reached had it less­ ened its force. To the westward moved a second storm center passing through Central Missouri,thence across Northern Kansas, finally Ifeing lost in the moun­ tains of Wyoming, "but the curious feat­ ure of this remarkable atmospheric dis­ turbance lay in the direction taken by the third arm -- a northerly course, through Iowa, veering to the west Into Nebraska leaving a hopeless tangle of wires in its wake, until it became next to an impossibility to reach any of the great cities west of St. Louis except by circuitous routes. Not a wire remained from Milwaukee to St. Paul and Min­ neapolis and the Northwest, these points being served with European and East­ ern domestic news over Ihe Southern Pacific route to Denver, thence to Og- den, Utah. Helena, Mont., and via the Northern Pacific to Minneapolis and St. Paul. , V GARVIN WILL NOT HANGL The Wife-Slayer Convicted of Murder In the Second Degree.

There were acres and acres of land covered with fine wheat, which grew as thick as the land would permit The tramp had not lost all appreciation of a good thing when he saw it, and so ho leaned against the old, dilapidated wooden fence, gazing with uncon­ cealed admiration on the tbe big whoat crop. He also bad something else in mind besides admiration, as subsequent events proved. MHe rested awhile and then re­ sumed his journey. He m&ta it a point to institute inquiries about the ownjer of the field of wheat and suc­ ceeded in ascertaining that the wheat covered about six s;mire miles of land and that the owner lived at the northeast corner of his property and had gone to town on business, which would detain him about ten days. The town was about fourteen miles north of the farmers residence, and the tramp was at the other extreme end of the property. A mile down the road was a small railroad station, which was only in use during the shipping season. '•Eight miles further south was a telegraph office, which was also lo­ cated at tbe junction of the main line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Thither went the tramp and soon he had a message going over the tele­ graph wires. Next day there was a small army of men at work in the wheat field and car-load after car­ load was taken away. The little branch railroad was all activity. The tramp superintended the work and--well, before the farmer returned home the tramp had sold all the wheat, and cleared out with a for­ tune." . "I heard of a fellow just like that tramp," Said John S. Barnes, mana­ ger of the Portland Base Ball Club, who was one of the trio. "There was a fellow who kept a large gents' furnishing store on Broadway, in New York City, who resided in Brooklyn. One night after ail the clerks had de­ parted, the proprietor closed his place and went to his home. About half an hour after he had departed a neatly dressed man opened the store and turned on all the cidctric lights and uncovered all the goods. Then he rang for a messenger boy, and when the *kid' was gone be placed an auction flag over the door. "The messenger bov returned with a man who took a position behind the counter with the first man. Both laid aside their hats and coats and stuck pens behind their ears, and then they were ready for business. A big brass bell was turned over to the messenger boy, and he was sent oat- side to ring the bell and draw trade to the store. Tt tfas a great scheme, and it worked, too. Before midnight everything in the store was sold. This is a fact No joke. This actu­ ally occurred.' His two auditors merely nodded their h'eads.--Tacoma News. War's Cruelty. An incident related in the recent biography of Sir Provo Wallis, Ad­ miral of the British fleet, brings home to the reader the cruel nature of war. It occurred during the war of 1812. An American Captain had taken a fine ship to Lisbon, where she had sold her cargo for the use of the British army under Wellington, and received several thousands of dol­ lars in return* which were on board. Meantime war had been declared, and on her home voyage she fell a victim to the British squadron. One of the principal objects of her cap­ tors was to obtain information. The American Captain was sent on board the Shannon--which afterward cap­ tured the famous Chesapeake--but was kept in ignorance of the war and of the fact that he was a prisoner. He answered unreservedly all the questions put to him, and Captain Broke, who greatly disliked the de­ ception he had been obliged to prac­ tise. now felt it difficult to make the prisoner acquainted with the next step which must be takc*i. At length he forced himself to sav: "Captain, I must burn your ship." The American, overcome by sur­ prise, faltered, "Burn her?" "Indeed I must" "Burn her for what? Will not monoy save her? Stie is all my own --and all the property 1 have in the world. Is it war then?" "Yes," said Broke. i Both parties were painfully moved, and the scene did not end without a tear from each; but duty was duty, and the prize was destroyed. v;\ Wonderlul Mfftder* of L* Plata. i'li a chanter on spiders mention Is being made of the many strange and wonderful features known in connec­ tion with them. Some spin a won­ derful complex and beautiful web; some live on or in the ground; many simulate inanimate obiects or death itself. • Of two species belonging to the same genus, one is green, while another is like a withered ordried-up leaf. The first, when disturbed, falls rapidly to the ground like a fresh green leaf broken off a twig, but the second falls slowly, like a very light aried and withered leaf. Some of the spiders are very large, and will chase a man from thirty to forty yards, keeping pace with a slow tio >- ting horse. An instance is related where one ran up the lash of the au­ thor's riding whip to within three or four inches of his hand, and would have bitten him had he not thrown the whip away. th# |to» •'""US? am- "• W / WMRFSIDENTLAI _ „ IIITIO I8ML SEEN tl»r landslides are nc* rese«t t& Jfeis cou* 1892 takes hi the t entire country, and jU JUte greatest po­ litical surprise akuM the Scott and Pieree campaign *' - Yew.

Farmer Swarthout's Son* Arrested on Sos- • jilclon of Killing-Their Father, According to a dispatch John Henry Swarthout. and Ernest Albert Swarthout. are locked up in the county jail at Mor­ rison, 111., charged with the murder at their father, Albert Marlon Swarthout, a prosperous farmer living near Mor­ rison. Albert Swarthout was shot while in his barn, not fifty steps from the houae; his body was then thrown into a cart, hauled within a stone's throw of the side windows of the farm-house, and dumped into a strawstack, which waa set on fire. All of this was done within easy reach of the house, in and around which, according to the statements ot the family, therd were at the time the two sons, the daucrhter and her husband, and the wife of the younger son. The boys were arrested on an affidavit sworn to by five of the best-known citizens of the county charging them with guilty knowledge of the crime. It is claimed that the boys were opposed to their father's approaching marriage with a young school-teacher in- a neighboring town, by which «hey thought the estate of $25,ouo would te lost to them. T« e theory of robbery is also advanced, as a gold watch and $100 i^nowjn to have been in the possession,' of the mur­ dered man have not beeiri found. The entire evidence, however, is purely cir­ cumstantial. The two sons are good-looking young fellows. John, the eldest, is U6 yearn of age, and a graduate of this year's class at Bennett Medical College, Chicago. Ernest is years old. He has always lived on the farm with his father, and wa* married two months ago. Both the young men are willing to talk of their father's death, *n4 deny most emphatically any knowledge of the crime. -2i • N "?
