Mr. Klame is attempting to make . . . - himself an indispensable factor in the next national republican conven tion by twisting the British Lion's tail over the Uebring Sea fishery controversity. Last Thursday the senate passed a free coinage measure, "a bill to pro vide for a unit of value, and for the coinage of gold and silver, and for other purposes.' This was a sub stitute offered to the original bill by Mr. Vest and was passed with but little or no debate. Now it remains to be seen whether Mr. Reed, tbe bulldozer from Maine, will take the responsibility of pulling Mr. Harri son's chestnuts from the fire, or whether he will let the bill pass the house and give little Benny au op portunity to show his hand by his veto power. No on doubts that the president will veto the the bill, and he should be given that opportunity. Whether this bill passes tbe bouse or not does not matter, Mr. Harrison will be giveu an opportunity to exercise his vetu power on this or similar measures inside of two years. A special sent from Lincoln, Neb., to a Chicago paper says: '"The long vigil of ex-Governor Thayer, during the exciting scenes of the opening of the legislature, when he remained in his apartments eighty hours for the purpose of keeping out Govern or Boyd, has resulted in a dangerous attack of nervous prostration.' To night the ex governor is a raving maniac and his physicians say his condition is alarming, owing to his age. He is nearly 75 years old." Tbe above is denied by his friends, who say that while the governor is HufFering from nervous prostration bis rational faculties are clear. Frederic Remington, the artist, lias just returned from the scene of the Indian disturbances in the west, bringing with him a number of sketches illustrating recent incidents and events on the frontier. Several of these sketches, including a view of the battle ground at Wounded Knee Creek aud the begiuuiug of the fight, together with a descriptive article by Mr. Reniiugtou, w'U be published in Harper's Weekly issued Jau. 21st. The Nebraska politicians have brought upon their state tbe dishon or of being the fit st commonwealth of the Union in which in time of peace the control of the militia was ade necessary to effect a change of government determined by the votes of the people. This is a precedent utterly foreign to the spirit and principles of our republiaau institu tions. Post Dispatch. ? 'the republicans have 101 votes in the Illinois legislature which will, when the ballot for Senator is taken be cast for "Uncle Dick" Oglesby; the democrats have 101 Totes which are pledged to John M. Palmer; the farmers alliancs has three votes which will go to Aason T. Streetor. 'To employ a parlauce which is com inon in the courts, the alliance mem bersseem t be determined to haug" the legislature. K. C. Star. Bns.nrmi Failure at tamar. Mo. Lamar, Mo., Jan. 19. Ben Hani- son, one of the prominent clothing merchants of Lamar, made an as si"ument to cx-circuit clerk W. L. Mackou Saturday night. The assets junouut to $.".000 in notes and the , liabilities to about $3,000. The lxinKtoii Intelligencer" Sold Lexington. Mo, Jan. 19. A. A. i4aoeur. Secretary of State, and Ethan Ailed to-day sold their paper, the Intelligencer, the oldest paper in Lafayette county, to Jaa. E. Payne. for a long time editor of the Inde - uendence (Mo.) Sentinel. Mr. Allen lias been in the newspaper business bare for the past 30 years. The co: sideration was not made public. The following is an extract from tbe message of Gov. Francis to the Missouri legislature which is well worth the serious consideration of : every citizen of the stata and rec omends a measure which every citi zen of Bates county ought to barti- ly support: ,4j know of nothing that would . bo mote beneficial to the stutoi than a comprehensive system of !r'ad.

The aid should be ex tended only, however, on condition that the county and the property owners iu the districts where the roads are located would contribute sufficient additional means to insure their construction. There is oue fea ture ef the present road law which could be amended to advantage and that is the payment of road tax by individual labor. If it were sup planted by a system of private con tracts, much better roads would re sult without any increased expendi ture of money. It is sincerely to be hoped that during the present ses sion of our legislature some compre hensive plan may be devised where by these desirable ends can be ac compliahed." Sir. Eilm nnds Loses His Temper. From Washington Special. The disgust of old senators like Edmunds, Hoar and Sherman, nt the manner in which these f ir -western senators have come iu and taktn possession of the house of lords is something terrible and picturesque Accustomed for many years to run the senate to suit themselvts. Ed rounds aud Hoar are bciide them selves with rage at the recent exhi bition of upstart it-m on the pai t of the representatives of the young statct. "The idea Senator Ed- muuds is reported as saying iu one of his bitter moments, "that a lot of jack rabbits and gophers from the rottou borough state of Nevada, the settlement called Colorado and some of those other frontier posts should come down here aud presume to dictate to an educated, settled aud conscientious people what sort of laws they should have and what sort of cheap money they should have forced upou them!' Some of thtse fine days, after au usually large number of visits to the senate res taurant, old man Edmunds will break loose on these fresh but jubi lant young westerners, and then there will be sport. Aristotle's Manuscript Found. London, Jan. 19 The Times an nouuees'that the authorities of the British museum have discovered among a collection of papyrus rolls, acquired recently iu Egypt, the text of Aristotle's treatise on the consti tution of Athens from which numer ous writers of antiquity quoted but which has hitherto been known io detached fragments. This treatise way now be seen at the British mu seam, where fac similes are being prepared. The opening chapter is missing and the concluding chapter is mutilated, but otherwise the man uscript is in perfect condition. There is little doubt about the genuineness of the manuscript, because nothing j j " nown of the contents of the vrus roll when purchased. The I xitnea says tbis discovery is almost j unprecedented in the whole history I of classical learning. Jl'lKJE WARDER'S FATAL SPREE General Miles Happy. - "Washington,. C, Jan. 15.

Excite inent prevails in the nortlvestern part of this county, near tie little village of Euon, over a supposed rich find 011 the farm of Irs. Cad Brown. A few days ago Mb. Brown noticed some strange menin a corn field near her house, but ould not understand their strange ictions. a they seemed to be huutug some thing. After they left, instigation showed that staks had ben driven and near them the earth had beeu dug into. Mrs Brown summoned neighbors with Fpades, wio proceed ed to dig out the mystey. Night overtook them, howevei and they leeided to investigate firther next morning, but when they returned the next day they found that some one had been there in thi night and secured tbe prize, as tbe hole had been dug seven feet deep and had the perfect impress of an ear;hen vessel in the bottom. A wealthy man nameu uossett owned mis .arm years ago, and it is believed thtf the strange men seen by Mrs. Irown were relatives of Gossett, and who had come and carried off a pt of gold- Gov. D. R.

Pretty, and charming, and clever, and atogether attractive as the American grls undoubtedly are, there Is no de nirifc the fact that their voices are de cdedly bad, and that when excited and Ulking' together their tones are not cLilcet In fact they are decidedly of .ie peacock order. It is a great pity, for it is very disenchanting to hear s.rill. discordant inflections from a pietty tnoutb. The following little in sttnee was told tbo writer by an eye- wi ness: i very pretty girl, in the very smart- estof traps in all the glory of fresh sutamer garments was driving, down a comtry road, when something became enbngled about her harness and she chicked hnr horse to ascertain the cause of the difficulty. Qii'te charmed to be of assistance to the very fetching young won an, one of two young men who were passing hurried up to offer his services, when tbe vision, like Balaam's long eared friend, "opened her mouth and 8 pake." "Thank you." she sa d In the most nasal and harshest of voices, "I think I can manage it" The young fellow started as if shot, and lifting his hat, walked on. "Good heavens, what a voice!" he said to his companion, who knowing both the girl and the susceptibility of his friend, had been shaking with silent laughter over tbe whole seen a Of course, this is an extreme case, but it is true, neverthe less, that very few of our girls have trained voices, and that the fear of be ing thought affected prevents many an honest, sensible young woman from en davor:ng to correct faults of accent and i.tonation. If vocal culture were made a part of oir pub'ic school curriculum, as It slould be, this would not be the case. Ve have a national defect why not acknowledge the fact, and try to cor net it? Principals of our best schools slould g ve tbis matter serious atten tion, but how often one finds in tbe Host expensive establishments uncultt nted voices among the teachers with hom the girls are thrown in daily con Uct particularly in the primary de partments where of all places the accent and tones should be of the very best. Even t tbe bead of the school herself is a person of the greatest refinement and etiture It will have very little effect Saless the subordinates, particularly ttose wbo have charge of the younger children, have equally good methods in tne and voice. j'AsBume a virtue if you have it not," ad If our climate, or some occnlt In jhence, has given us as a Nation trident we dislike to say nasal tnes, do let ns honestly admit the fact id remedy it through education. 5f.
