It is i-aai r to doctor tho reports tlixm the ra tieritd. The account of tho death of Frederick D. Kleuuu, nven in our teleraj columns, gived und interv&tiiu; picture of Carl Schurz'd early uxporienco before h became an Azauricun organ -grinder. Mil Hcskix it w said him discovered that Athena, tho Goddess of Wisdom, wore "ban;;." Mr. Knkiu may general ly bo deiM iid(xl upon to l on the oil hide in an argument on great social ques tioiui. Tatiieji IIkilly, of Detroit, refused, to baptize a child ad John Cleveland, ruling that Cleveland Ls not a Christian name. He say a Catholics have a patron saint and a guardian angel, and he thinks Cleveland would make a rather poor naint. The New York Tribune eaya: "We wish to repeat that the Tribune's can didate for Hpeuker of the next House of representatives is tho Hon. Samuel Sul livan Cox, of New York. Tho House has made many a worse man Shaker." This is about as good a joke as ''Sun-Set" liiniself over perpetrated. With all our boasted growth the popu lation of Nevada is eaid to be steadily diminishing. Tho Carson Tribune esti mates that there aro now not more than 12,000 voters in tho State. In 1880 the total vote was 1G,G11. Only one county has 3,000 voters, and of all tho others only three havo a voting population in excess of 1,000 each. SoiiE Brooklyn admirer of Cleveland recently sent him, as a present, a thrifty Newfoundland pup, but liis pnpship has been returned to the donor with thanks. If Grover will bo wise enough to send a majority of the other class of pups, who are seeking so persistently for ollice,home as promptly as ho did the dog ho will save himself much trouble and do the country a favor. The silly talk about an attempt to re turn Senator Conklin to tho United States Honato has apparently been expendod. Tho gentlemen more promiuontly men tioned for the Sonatorship aro Hons. Frank Hiseoek, Levi P. Morton, Wm. M. Evarts, Chancey 31. Depew, ox-Gov. Cornell, and II G. Lapham.the present incumbent. Appearances indicate that Mr. Hiscock and Mr. Morton aro at pres ent leading and alxnit neck and neck in tho race. In an article on "Noted Walkers and Talkers" the Vow York Tribune of Mon day says: "Governor-elect , Alger, of Miclugan, is a great walker, and usually steps off tho distance from Fifth avenue to Wall street when he is in this city, his companion frequently leing President J. F. Joy,of tho Michigan Central Ilailroad." The suggestion that this makes to the punster fiend is that it was with joy, without doubt, that Gen. Alger walked over Guv. IVgolo. While the masses of th jooplo havo ben worrying about politics and reading about wars anil rumors of wars, tho med ical scientists hav been studying out a niot valuable means of preventing suf fering. From the few experiments al ready made with hydrochlorato of cocaine it is evident that this new local anes thetic promises to lo one of tho most welcome discoveries of tho age. Ily its use cataract havo tx'U removal and other minor surgical operations success fully porfunnM without the least sense of pain and without tho loss of conscious ness on tho part of tho patient. When the use of this agent shall beooruo gen eral, tho only painful part of a surgical operation will bo tho paying tho "doctor who rues a remedy costing perhaps $C00 an ounce. CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH. Th. part which tho South shall ! al lowed to take in the mming administra tion is a feature which will l watchod witli k'rat interest. Tho Democrats claim that an era tf gf l f.ling will lx itinugnrntetl. that tt.ero will l pwo and satisfactitsti in the South. If this mnns that b'ni?5vw Cnnflil H' Will K psfnrd in tl'.o Smth. that tu 'pUM.f Ihe South Trilii rij to rl.up har.d with tho-' of th Nort-i. and uofk f r tho vi!farf of wboi Cniori, that thv tviH r,sr ;? i;p th- atj?!;o.ritr of th.

The South is profuse in iti promises. Tl:e Athint!i Conxtitution says that wiiatever iniluenco the Stjuth may texert ou the next administration, will be dictated solely by a genuine in terest in thw welfare of tiio whole coun try. The Charleston Xeicn and Courier bays that "the dividing line between North and South is blotted out,' and that "race problems and apprehensions will disaj Iear." The Vicksburg Commercial Htraid saya "the South does not expect or wish unduly to influence any branch of the government, and is eager to bo at work in the cotton, the rice, tho tobacco and the sugar fields." All these things sound well, but they have an ancient echo. They remind us of similar sayings hear twenty and thirty years ago when wed were told that things would all be serene in the South if the Northern abolitionists would only stop their inflammatory talk, and that there would bo no trouble if tho South were allowed to go in ieace. A wayward loy will not show his temper if he isallowed to have his own way, but wholesome restraint may have the effect of making a resjeetablo man of him. Mr. Cleveland will huve it in his iower to do tho South valuable service by exercising the restraining power of the Federal nu thority. CURRENT COMMENT. Philadelphia Press: Hendricks says God gave tho Democrats their victory. Carl Schurz regards this as a deliberate slight New York Tribune: It would be in teresting to know what Jefferson Davis whispered to a certain sour apple tree when he found that his party had been restored to iower. It would also be in teresting to hear the retort of the sour apple tree. Philadelphia Times: Mr. Cleveland evidently has no desire to meet at tablo a thousand Philadelphia Democrats hun gry for dinner and ravenous for omce. Ho has, therefore, wisely declined to sub ject himself to this great test. Yet ho will never thoroughly know what ho has missed. San Francisco Post: Blaine will never be politically dead until ho is physically death Ho will be, while ho lives, one of tho foremost, if not tho very foremost, statesmen in tho United States. He is a tower of strength, and a reservoir of thought, and tho light of his genius will illumine his country and his party as long as tho lamp of life burns. New York World: As a Oibinet-maker and joiner Mr. Watterson can hardly bo called a success. As a matter of fact he is a complete failure as a political joiner, for his tendency is to separate the Demo cratic party. His last suggestion, that Mr. Pendleton be placed at the head of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, is not a happy one because Ohio will object. Chicago Inter Ocean: Another 6tep has been taken in tho Sixth Senatorial fraud case. Mr. Brand by and with the advice and consent of his friends makes a proposition to Mr. Leman. Ho eon cedes that there were frauds in tho sec ond precinct of the Eighteenth Ward, and ho proposes a recount of the ballots in tho whole district. If Mr. Leman accepts this would his friends be expect ed to tlrop tho prosecution of those guilty of fraud? What is there behind Mr. Brand's proposition? TURNED PET3DLER. now an Ohlo Kx-Oovemor Waft Rained by roll tics. Lexington (Ky.) Letter.! I saw ex-Gxreraor Bishop, of Ohio, on the stroets here a few days since with a samplo case in his hand, trying to sell some cigars. It made me sorry that I was not in tho cigar trade, for if I was and his goods came anywhere near suiting my customers, I should buy from him in preference to any one else. The sight was provocative ol sadn?$3 in me, and I harried by without stopping to speak to the old gentleman, foi I could not change his condition, and did not wish my mind to dwell on it. I say the sight provoked sadness in me, and so it did. Not because, I think the oc cupation of a traveling salesman or drum mer is in any way degrading, for it is an honest and legitimate calling, in which no ono need be ashamed to engage. Nor was it because I thought there was any sacri flee of dignity on the part of Governor Bishop in engaging in it. It was creditable to hhn that he should have gone to work for him self rather than fold his hands and become a charge upon others, and I honor him for it. Bat still I was norry that he bad to do ii. I knew what poverty is; I know what the constant strain of having to seek onos daily bnywl by hi daily labor is, and I know how hard it is to feed the little months and Hotho the little forma that are dopeudat on the father for every morsel and every shred. I have fought with these wild basta at Kphesus, and still do battle with thm daily after the manner of men, though mayhap it proflttfi me nothing. But I look forward more or less hopefully to the time whn In old age I can rest and let my days go out in eace undisturbed by carklnj? CAres atut next wofik'f market money.

Tho Unvarnished History of o Boffua Watch. The Timt-Kef per That Mdi the Fortun of a lMjr Auctioneer WortJi More to llliu Thau a llU-L ricrd Chronometer Denver Opinion. "Did yon know Frank Hraley?" asked Tom ltotve of an Opinion man the other day. "He wtu tho mart-at jort that ever cnfei the Missouri doming Wtst. He osod to work the auction dodge in early days, but he did it under dilticultits. The game, of cour&e, wtu a bogus watch, but, unfortunately for him, he had only one. and he had to take more care of it than he would have given to a $400 Geneva. That watch was old ou an average of four time a day for a year." How was that! " "Well, one of the cappers would come into the auctiou'tihop with the watch. The auetion-hop was a place ou Blake street with two or three boxes of cotton socks, a half gros of spoiled neckties and a dozen cotton handkerchiefs. Healey's ostensible business was to sell these, but as soon as the capper would show up he was on deck. "Where did yo get that 'watch?' he'd ay. "Then the fellow would work 'Uielast of an ill-spent fortune ' racket. ' It was given me by my fatUer just be fore I left the States,' he'd &ay, 'and it cost $125.' " 'Is it gold? Do yon warrant it?' " That's what I It's good stuff.' "Then tho watch would go up, and after being bid on for awhile would be knocked down to some duffer for about fifty dollars. Tho fellow would pull out his buckskin bag, weigh out the dust, and then start. Just on the outside he'd meet capper num ber two. 'What have you got there?' he'd ask. "The sucker would show his snap. " 'I don't think that's good,' capper num ber two would say; 'lut let us tako it to a Jewelry 6tore and see.' And together they'd go and flud out the watch wasn't worth fifty cents "Then capper number two would loom. See here,' he'd say; this is a swiudlo, but you can play back. Take it to the auction shop and sell it over again. Thero was a lot of-fellowa bidding on it when you left. You can get your money back, and may-be more.' Bo back they'd go and run through the same business. The sucker would say the watch was given him by his father, ami that it cost $150 in gold, and that he was broke and wanted to pat it up. " 'Do you warrant it?' Ilealoy would ask. "' Yes, he'd say. So ,up she'd go. One of the boys would bid a dollar, and anoth er a dollar and a quarter, and they'd run it up to about two dollars. Then she'd bo knocked down. If the sucker kicked they'd tell him that he had warranted the watch find wouldn't be allowed to scandalize it try saying it was brass. He would generally see the point and skip. Henley has sold that watch five times in one day and took his ten per cent, commission on it, but, at the same time, it caused a good deal "of anxiety." " How was that?" " Well, as I said, it was the only ono in the Territory, and it had to le looked after. Suppose somo fool had carried it off, what wouM tho boys have done for another? It would have taken three months to bring one from the States, and there would havo been no business in all that time. They never breathed easily until the watch turned up again. It was worth a genuine one a dozen times over. I used to watch that game with a good deal of interest wkonovei1 I had any leisure time on my hands. I got pretty nearly as anxious atut the watch as the fellows who lived off it. But it always managed to turn up finally in some way." " What became of it at last?" " I think they put it in the corner-stone of the first church built in Denver. They had got a gross from tho outsido, and didn't have to waste money buying the old ono back." EATING WITH CHOP-STICKS. Two Chinese Kn Route to New Orleans Create a Sensation. Two happy Celestials passed through At lanta yesterday en route to New Orleans. They are "decorative artists," and are go ing to the Crescent City to arrango and decorate the Ppace allowed to the Chinese Empire in the great World's Fair. Tho men are in the employment of the Chinese Government and aro said to be two of tho finest decorative workers in tho world. They have spent many years in Europe working at their trade, and when selected by their Empire to decorate its space at the Exposition they were in England, from whence they came direct to America. They were accompanied by an interpreter, they being unable to pak the English lan guage to any extent by whom they were shown every attention. They travel in first-class style, having an entire section in a sleeper. Soon irftfr they left their tain in the union pansencrer depot the cen- tleman who was with them entered tho res taurant and asked Mr. Durand to prepare dinner for them. "They want," the gentleman said "plen ty of rice, lots of Kond ta and ome rare meat. That's all. But tj most t to suit them."
