KST.I3LISHEr, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. MAY 7, 1884,
THE L.ITTLE FAT DOCTOR.
IIo seemed so strange to me every way
lit manner, and ways, and size,
Krorn the buy I knew but yesterday
I could hardly believe my eyes!
To bear his name called over there,
My liii'iiiory filled with glee,
And lcatied to picture him young and fair,
And fresh as he used to be.
Hut, looking, as only glad eyes can,
For the boy I knew of yore,
I smiled on a portly little man
I hud never seen before!
Grave as a jniige, in courtliness
I'rofesser-like and bland .
A little fat doctor, and nothing leas.
With his bat in his kimboed band.
Dut how we talked old timet, and chaffed
lCach other, with "Minnie," and "Jim !'
And how the little fat doctor laughed
And how I laughed at bint !
"Ami it's pleasant," I said, "though I yearn
to see
The face of the youth that was,
To know no boy could smile on me
As the little fat doctor does!"
Joint Wliitrvmb Riley.
A A IKE'S CHARM,
A pout upon the red lipB of Ger
ald .Sinclair' youne wile unmis
takably a put for though a wife of
almost two years, her iond, indul
gent husband had for the first time
said nay to an openly expressed
wih.
The fancy ball of the seaion, a
grand and fashionable assemblage,
was to take place during his absence
and he had said that he should pre
fer she would not attend.
Stie was only 20. Let this much
be paid in extenuation of the twe
great tears that rose to the brown
eyes and slowly trickled dewn the
pretty face, splashing on to tbe dain
ty morning drees, which, cliaging to
tlie dainty forsa, revealed so perfect
ly its graceful outlines.
Certainly, Niobe had no reason to
be ashamed of this one of her chil
dren. Hut Gerald Sinclair had only
stoopei and kif?ed away the glisten
ing drops, in a half-hurried manner,
perhaps to hide his awakening re
morse. "Never mind, little wife. I'll make
it ny te you another time."
Then he was gone; but she sat
still, turning and re-turning her
wedding ring, with eyes bent upon
it. It was a curious ring a solid
band, set with five large diamonds.
It had br-en her charm, her talis
man, not to be taken from her finger
until soul and body had parted ; but
this morning it had lest its charm.
If it failed to scatter the clouds, it
failed to bring back the sunshine.
Kven when the hour came round
for Gut-aids home coming, he missed
bis uniial warm welcome, but he
thought he might trust hie wife.s
heart and said nothings The next
day lie started on his journey.
"You're mot going, my dear?" ex
claimed Mrs. Martia, bursting in
upon her friend on the. morning of
the bail.
"And why net?"
"Gerald is away," replied Mrs.
Sinclair, with some little show of
wifely dignity, as though the fact
were in itself suflicieut explanation,
"And why need that make aay
difference?" pursued Mrs. Martin, a
bewitching little widow seme few
years her friend senior. "I will
share my escort with you Count
lSelzoni!"
Snuhie Sinclair looked up amazed.
She knew that the man mentioned

j "I will tell Gerald. I hart already

herself, as she stood for a moment
: alone in a quiet corner.

a fairy rather like one who had
foresworn the vanities of the world,
than a siren to tempt men to their
deetruction, said a voico closo to
her, "though to the latter I know no

"Sii I" ehe exclaiaaed indignantly,
recognizing as she spoke, the count
standing at her elbow.
"Ah, you thought I did not know
you. I should penetrate any dis
guise you wore. Besides, you have
forgotten to remove a badge of recog
nition." She followed with her eyes his
downward glance, and saw that it
rested on her hand, ungloved, as in
better accerd with the exigencies of
her costume.
Involuntarily she drew it away,
with the ring which had betrayed
her.
Denial was useless.
"Since vou know me, then," she
aid, "we will not further play a
part. To the others we are masks ;
to ourselves we are ourselves."
"Ah, madame," he whispered,
"let us rather say to the world we
are ourselves, to each other we are a
mask. Can men, think you, look
coldly on such beauty as you pos
sess? Can "
Indignant and alarmed, she check
ed his further speech by starting
forward to escape him. His hand
closed on hers as in a vice. She
wrenched it from him, sprang among
a crowd of maskers, and so made
her wav to the door.
"Call a carriage for me," she di
rected.
Ten minutes later she was within
her own home. Her first impulse
was to tear off the hated costume
which had caused her such trouble ;
ker next to throw herself on the bed
and sob out her excitement and con
trition. The morning sun, stream
ing into her room, awoke her.
V ith a shudder, she remembered
the events of the past night. She
looked down at her hand the hand
which had been polluted by anoth
er's touch as though in some way
she expected to find the contamina
tion branded on its soft white sur
face. It was all unmarred : but

heart seemed to stand still in a sud

ring.
When and where had she lost it.
and how could she now find the
courage to confess all to Gerald ?
She rose and dressed, revolving this
problem in her mind.
At any hour-her husband might
return, r or the first time she dread
ed to meet him dreaded to leok in
to his kindly, handsome eyes and
read there all his incredulous re
proach, mingled perhaps with scorn
and anger.
The day wore on. Her friend.
Mrs. Martin, ran in to scold her for
her desertion ; but her pale face and
trembling tones made good her plea
of sudden illness.
At nightfall Gerald arrived, She

"Sir, I command vau to leave me.

He was about to answer, when a
latch key was heard inserted in the
outside door.
In an instant he had sprung into
some place of concealment, but the
fact that he was near lent to the
young wife a sudden courage, born
of the moment's desperation. Her
husband, entering, approached her,
but she motioned him back.
"Gerald," she said, "I have a bit
ter confession to make. It is fitting
you Bhould hear it now."
He listened, with arms folded
across his breast, while she told him
all the story of the fated night.
"And is this all I he questioned
bitterly, when she had paused.
"No, not all," she continued, rais
ing her voice. "My confession has
another witness, who has forced his
hated presence again upon me. The
Count Belzoni is here again, Ger

curtain ; but the form she expected
to disclose was gone, the open win

Silently tbe husband drew a pa

a paragraph ottering a reward tor

"Mr darling," he said, "my wife

Individualism in Politics.
Mr. Herbert Spencer, in declining
to become a candidate for the House
of Commons, has called attention to
what may be perhaps a defect in our
present political methods. He be
lieves that that the person chosen to
represent a political constituency
should be absolutely master of him
self; that by his votes and speeches
he should follow out the course
which seemed to him best, irrespect
ive of whether this course is approv
ed by those whom he represents or
not. In one way Mr. Spencer is
quite right. The tendency of our
times is to limit the freedom of ac
tion of the individual. A man is
elected not te do what he considers
is for the best interests of the coun
try, but to follow out a certain line
of party policy, which he may
scarcely believe is detrimental to the
country. In this way we never ob
tain from our public men the best
service they are capable of perform
ing. They will always feel upon
them the constraint of their constit
uents, and will content themselves
with keeping within the well-defined
lines of party policy. On the other
hand, the theery of individualism
of personally adopting what may
seem to be right opinions and follow
ing these to their logical conclusions,
independent of the wishes of those
whom one represents, and of the
needs of party as well can hardly
fail to exercise a demoralizing effect
in a representative lorm ot govern
ment. Control in these govern
ments is vested in parties, and
where no two will think and act
alike it is impossible to construct a
well organized party of any dimen
sions greater than one man. the
obstacle that the liberals on the con
tinent of Europe have encountered
hag eeme from the tact ot their ex
cessive independence, iuacn indi
vidual has had a pet theory of gov
ernment which he wishes to see era-
bodied in the organic laws of hisj
country, and has been so completely
logical in the support of his plan
that he has consistently opposed the
suggestions and plans ot others.
Such a method might serve admira
bly if a man happened to be an au
tocrat, but if he is only one of a
large number of people, all of whom
are quite as important as he is in de
termining the scope of legislation,
the willingness to yield, and the
readiness to discover points of simi
larity in the various plans suggested,
are necessary features of practical
statesmanship. Mr. Spencer is prob
ably quite right in thinking that be

fact due chiefly to his indisposition
to think very highly of the views

Durability of Bank of England Notes.
The album in which specimens of
the various counterfeits discovered
are preserved, also contains some in
teresting proof of the extraordinary
durability of the note9. There are
three notes for twentv-five pounds
which passed through the Chicago
fire, and were sent in for redemption
by Mr. R. II. Nottin, paymaster of
the Chicago and Alton Railway.
Though they are burnt to a crisp
black ash, the paper is scarcely bro
ken, and the engraving is as clear as
in a new note. There are also five
five-pound notes which went to the
bottom of the sea in the unfortunate
training ship Eurydice.and were re
covered after six month's immersian.
They are not even frayed. The pa
per is stained a light brown, and
that is the only effect their long ex
posure to salt water has had. We
were shown in a small case covered
with a magnifying glass a few char
red fragments of paper for which the
bank paid 1400. They are the
remains of several notes destroyed
in a fire, and were redeemed at their
full value, the holders being able to
give their numbers and dates, and to
satisfy the bank that they had actu
ally been destroyed. There is anoth
er note in tne album whicn was in
circulation 125 years before it was
returned to the bank for payment.
No note is issued twice. As soon as
a note is returned, even though it
has been out but a few hours, it is
cancelled. Very often a note issued
in the morning is brought back to
the bank in the afternoon of the
same day, but on an average a five
pound note is out about eighty days
The notes have many strange ad
ventures. One of a large denomina
tion was found keeping the wind
away in the broken pane of a cottage
window, neither the cottager nor his
wife having anv idea of its value.
Another, also for a large sum, the
disappearance of which had 1h1 to
many wrongful suspicions and accu
ations, was discovered, after many
vears, inclosed in the wall of the
house from which it had mysterious
ly disappeared. One thing the notes
will not endure. Thev will hold to
gether at the bottom of the sea, and
come out of a furnace intact, but
they will not outlast the scrubbing.
the bleaching, and the mangling of
the laundry. That trial, to which
they are often subjected through
the inadvertence of ladies who send
them to the wash in their dress pock
ets, usually defaces them, though
even after it their genuineness is still
recognizable.

WHOLE NO. 1712.
To Ear-ape in Fear Days.
A French engineer, M. Sebillot,
proposes to shorten the time between
this continent and Europe to four
days. His idea is to adapt to ocean
navigation, oa a more acute and
longer scale, tbe idea which models
the North river steamers and the
ferry-boata of the East river. It is
that of having virtually two hulls,
a lower and an upper, the lower and
the centre to be deep, long, narrow,
and at the bows very sharp, reduc
ing the angle forward by the line of
tbe bows where they cut the water
with the line of the vessel's motion
from 1 to 15 degrees as now, to even
3 degrees. The lower hull will thus
preserve a width from stem to stern
of only a third the width of the up
per hull, and the latter will either
be out ot water, or, when the vessel
is deeply laden, will barely rest upon
the water. He estimates that a ves
sel of 12,000 tons as compared with
the newest fast steamers, with 10,000
horse-power, 1,200 feet immersed
cross-section, and running twenty
knots per hour in calm water, would
show a speed of "2 knots and prob
ably 35 knots. It follows that such
a vessel could cross the ocean, in
calm water, from New York to Eu
repe, in about four days. This is by
no means an extravagant supposi
tion, as the fineness of the lines is
out of comparison with the usual
lines in fast steamers, and can be
compared only with those ef some
fine race boats renowned for their
speed, and built either shallow and
wide or narrow and deep, ihe new
type partaking of both these princi
ples and carrying them to the ut
most. It is possible experience
might show that the shape of the
prow will cause such a vessel to be
much less influenced by rough
weather than the ordinary shape.
The ocean-traveling public weuld
gladly welcome the day when M. Se
billot's new rapid-transit idea shall

A Story of Thad. Stevr.n
A Virginian named Edmonston
was one day walking down Pennsyl
vania avenue, Washington, with J.
M. Curry, then a Congressman. Mr.
Edmonston was much excited about
a remark he had traced to Mr. Ste
vens. and threatened to insult him
on sight. Mr. Curry tried to ap
pease him. but did not altogether
succeed. Soon afterwards Edmon
ston descried Thaddeus Stevens just
ahead on the avenue, and, his wrath
returniug. said : " There goes the
dashed old rascal now ; I an going
to confront him." Before his com
panion could prevent, Edmonston
had accosted the enemy. Halting
the Pennsylvania statesman, the
fiery Virginian ejaculated : " Mr.
Stevens, sir, I heard that you insult
ed my State." The grim old man,
with a malicious twinkle in his eyes
responded: "Oh, no; I think not,
Mr. Edmonston. but what did I
say offensively?" Edmonston re
joined: "You said, sir, that John
Brawn could have captured Virgin
ia with 3-5 men." Hardly suppress
ing a laugh, his wicked eyes glim
mering more maliciously, Thad.
Stevens, in a snarp tone, sad : "You
have got it wrong, Mr. Edmonston,
frightfully wrong! I did not say that
John Brown could have captured
Virginia with 35 men ; I put it at 75
men, sir 75 men." Edmonston
was struck dumb with amazement
and fell back, as old Thad. hobbled
up Pennsylvania avenue, chuckling
and grinning.

dots about managing women. "Talk

Just then the cabin door opened,
and a red-headed, long-necked wo

"Out whar?" hovelled back.
"Out'nthe bar'l," she answered.

How he Drposrtl a Chief.
Governor McCook once caused
the deposition of a Tte chief nam
sd Colorow, in the following man
ner :
During his administration, Colo
row and a band of Utes came to a
post town and camped on the out
skirts. One day the chief sent word
that he wanted a new tent. Mc
Cook dispatched an agent to se
what condition Colorow' stent was
in; the report was that he did i.ot
need a new tent, and McCook ac
cordingly refused. In the afterm-jon,
while the Governor was in his of
fice. Colorow came in half drunk,
with a revolver in his hand, and
going over where McCook w:h
writing sat "down. The Governor
took in the situation at a glance, but
did not look up.
"McCook liar!" said Colorow.
The Governor went on writing.
"McCook damn liar!" repeated
the chief. Still McCook continued
writing.
"McCook G dam liar !"' said Col
orow, reaching a climax.
Never the less McCook would nut
look at him.
By this time Colerew had conclud
ed there was no right in the Govern
or and allowed the hand holding
the revolver to drop at his side.
The move was a bad one. In an
instant McCook seized his wri.-t,
knocked the weapon away from him,
and catching the astonished savage
by the neck, kicked hi:n down
stairs and inta the street, where a
number of I'tes were st,irnllr:g
about.
With great tact. McCook pointed
to the prostrate and humilating form
of Colorow, and turning to the I "te
said: "Colorow an old woman. Get

Then, turning on his heei. he
walked upstairs. The next day the
mortified I'tes deposed Colorow.
