The princip a .aulrs e r f this Ibelief is the wide gult that texih' : betwen JIr.

No tice has twen publicly se rved onr MIr. Cleveland by I(fepres,,tative I;laird. the leader of the silver t'uallolits in the house. that further attempts alolng this line waould bringr al t a nawithdrawal ori the silver men frohe the party. The forctfulness of Mr C'leveland's charac ter is so well knowt r here that the gen eral oplinion is that hi( will continue his fbht against shiet bty calling an early extra session oaf tl l'fty third eongress. unless convinct d that a bill for the rel peal of the silver law would be votedi down ifeither t te house or senate. In that case he woiuld postpone calling an extra session until he had n-converted" a sufficient number to carry his point. The selection of Judge Walter Q. Gresham. as the head of the cabinet. which is accepted here as an accomplish ed fact. will also be a factor in bringing about a split in the democratic party. As a rule the democrats in congress de line to publicly discuss thin sell u: M. but privately they are showing their anger and disapplintment. The feeling amunong tlem may be judged by the fact that Senator ;nrmlan. vwhi is (ordiln arily the most indtlifferent of mn to, newspaper strtis printed of him. to,,' special pains to go around ounon_ the W~ashlington co. respondllllles alndI conlltra diet the I,uhlished rumIors that iG;resham had lweln seleted on his ahvic'-.

Stowe had excluded the possibihties of twe'tic license when shi .epresrented Eliza as esnapilng over the Ohio river on cakes of ice is now dead. He died in Florida in January from ex 'os.re while skating on the St. John's river, and when they found him friends had to cut out a square rod, perch or pole of ice with his body in order to send him home. He always maintained that the Ohio river never even froze enough to make a -ake of ice between Cincinnati and Cairo. Last January Eliza with her infant child could have crossed over with bobeleds and a 4-horse team. I-s "OH. BOTHER!" In West Virginia we had to have all stoves and a furnace going all day in the opera house, as well as the entire gas service. including footlights, in order to warm up for evening service, and even then we worn white sweaters and shoulder breakfast shawls over our dress sits on the stage. Natural gas is getting less plentiful. and the demand increased so that there was great suffering from cold among the poor, who had to return to the electric light and cast aside their parlor gas logs for the time. Heavy manufacturing en terprises also decrease the quantity of gas for home consumption, and as usual the corporation sails gayly on while the citizen has to go to bed to get warm. -HtIow strangely mankind does! We go and leg on bended knees for l:r;ge corporalions to col.e and build and do busilne' ii our town to raise the )rice of our okts, and y..t how long is it before we write a pii ce for the county paper saying that we are driven to the wall by these great corlrations. and that we hate thel-t like everything?

Still he had probably promiaed some dear one solemnly that he would tathe every morning if it cost him his life. People filed past him filled with won der and amazement, and to each one he said in a light, thin, girlish, voice, "Beg pardon, lint wuulal you mind shutting that door." Nine of us. after we b:;l passed by him. went to the other end of the car and pa:.sed thro;ugh again three timeas. enjoying it heartily. On:e we wet the man who bring:, ill the ice for the cooler.

The young man gave a wild shriek, and with a moan of pain his Boulanger whiskers went back in side and it . said have never come out again. Later on after breakfast I tried to uake up to him and be friendly, but he turned upon me like a wild beast and exclaimed. "'Oh. botherr" I overhlard yesterday the wail of tlhe anort, stout lajy.

"Yes, that is so." said Ethel. "but these who know you love you if you are stout. That's mnore than sonme can say whom I know of." "I hope so," said the short, stout lady, with a tear in her eye its she tried to get her overshoe on Iby kickiing it against tile other fict. ibut only suicecleald it fracturing ai whalebonle or two and tip ping her hat down over her notsc.

Then they Ixbth had to get off the train there. and Ethel had to bocrrow a trav eling man's sampletn case for the short, stout lady to step on as she got off the coach. I have not bwen richly endowed by nt tlure with the fatal gift of beauty, but it might have heen worse than it is. though when I pass through a car and afterward look back and see the Ipssengers exam ining their watches to see if they are still running I can think of the short, stout lady and say. What if 1. too. had been thus? Written in a childish hand comes a .*quest from little Alonzo Belcher of East Rawlse's ('enter asking this paper how he can cure soreness of the tongue.

Ile wint home, he exclaims in the let ter, feeling like a man that has a redhot cuttle bone in his mouth and cannot get it out. Ever since then he has com omunicated with the outside world whol ly by means of the pen. No one can even think of his great sorrow without a -hitter and somewhat brackish tear. Htow puny are our efforts when we find ourselves in the act of violating a great natural law! We must not get on the mighty turntable of creation or try to cross the side tracks of solar systems unless we are employees. Mr. Belcher will do well to bathe the more place with witch hazel as often as the idea s-e.urs to him, and keep a piece of oiled silk between the tongueanti roof of the mouth, so that the two shall not unite and Iecome one grand whole, to the injury of th: grandt hole that he has been in the habit of swallowing through. 01I.'- Nye I i r14 YVW SO DIfl:Jtsr'HE MISTAKE.
