DITOft AD rKOPBISTOE.
GovrRsoB ilcKistxv, of Ohio,
broke last week uu Je-r the pressure
of a bail bond of a fiierjel.
Clztelxsd and his Cabinet held an
informal meeting at Lakewood, New
York State last Saturday.
The question of erecting a new
Capitol Building at Harrisburg is en
gaging the attention cf the Legisla
ture Mbs. Cleveland is opoeed to hoop
skirts, and that settles it with demo
cratic women, for as with Kin?, so
with the Queen. When the Queen
takes SDuff the ladies all must sneeze
Colonel SIcClike of the Philadel
phia Times, is on very friendly terms
with Presi dent Cleveland. The Col
onel is one of the mofet accomplished
and versatile citizens of this Coni
lnnnwealth, and has been an able ad
vocate of the interests that led to
tli9 flection of President Cleveland.
Prksidest IIahkis5S ha3 called' an
extra saseiou of the Senate to con
vene at 12 oVloek on the 4th of March,
next Saturday, to receive each com
munications as may ba made by ' the
Executive. .
A cold shiver is playing along the
back of leaders of the democracy iu
p.pprohc-iision that Cleveknd's inaag
ural address en Saturday, will knock
to pieces, some of the so called planks
of the democratic party.
. m
Fbesident Cleveland, aud his Sec
retary of State, mugwump Gresham,
are both fond of fishing with a hook
and line. It is expected that most
of tho democratic office holders and
office seekers will turn to be fisher
men during the time of tbi3 adminis
tration. Cleveland's Cabinet is a nice piece
of patchwork, aod if the President
had more places to fill would equal
the hand piece woik of nimble-fingered
ladies who are wont to place
their patchwork on exhibition at
concty fairs. The cabinet shows up
well with a mugwump and several
oorpi-ra'i"!! monopolists, patflu sin it.
When a man undertakes to run a:
half million Lusinefs on a ten or fif-!
teen thousard dol!ar capital, it is on
ly a eiaestion of time ns to when Le
wili "bust." S.j it is with the geld
bug's theory, they promise to run
the business of the world, of thou-
Fiinds of billions, on three billions of I
gold. It can't ba done, and time will
prove it.

The Rt-adiue' Kiiihotm is ngmn in
the hands of a receiver. It failed to
pay matured interest last week, and
that dumped it into tho financial
slough. President McLaod had a
grand plan to make it one of the
greatest railroads in t!'e United
States How this trou'.io ruay af.
feet his railroad corbb. nations in
New York and the New Eugland
States, Sec, remains to be seen or
learned by future events.
A knowledge of the spelling book,
arithmetic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin,
Sanscrit, German and French will
not keep a man from being a rogue,
or make a man a thief, and yet there
are somo petpla who profess to be
lieve that such aequit-pnientp, or a
partial list of such aoepjirements,
make their possessor honest, and
better citizens, ar.d all compulsory
education advocates argue from the
stund point that text book education
makes good citizens, aud the Ink of
text book education is tho cans? cf
bad citizenship, thievery, Sea.
The men who are putting in the
plea for compulsory education, that
it is a text book education that puts
inon and women above the tempta
tions and frauds of life might ba led
to think correctly on the subj-ct, if
they would take the evs-y day Hfo of
men, who are trained in text book,
and business education. The evi
donco of their mistake, that educa
tion makes p-Mjp'e better is found on
everT side. Only last week a Wilm
ington, Delaware bank teller wa
caught in his stealing. He had stol
en 160,000 of the bank funds, and
on the same day the assistant cash
ier of an Atlanta, Oi bank was found
out in Lis stealings of $70,000 of the
bank funds. They Kith were will
up in text bo'' an i busmess educa
tion. People should educate but
should not be misled to believe that
it mikes people better. It is the
moral trau.inr- find not exactly text
book training that makos men and
women better. Out on compulsory
education. If adopted, it would not
be many years till the common'school
fyetem wou!d become a despotism.

A Sew Ue for SquirrcU.
A youog sou of a man living in the
outskirts of Portland caught a squir
rel the other day and started in to
tame the rodent, and he had such
success that the squirrel is now as
tame as any house cat. A few days
ago tho squirrel dodged into a rat
hole, and began running through the
waiis. The hons has been overrun
by lRts, and aft. r the squirrel got in
to the walls t'lere was a scampering
and racket which threatened to tear
the house down. The squirrel came
out of the hole after a -while, and
from that time -nothing ba been
heard ef rats in the house. The
squirrel enjoys a scamper through
the walls every day, but the rats
have taken themselves off. Portland

Oae of the most remarkable of
trees or shrubs grows near some
springs about 12 miles north of Tus
carora, Alabama. It is about 6 or 7
feet high, with a trunk, which at its
base, is three times the size of an or
dinary man's wrist, It has number
less branches and twigs, and resem
bles somewhat the barberry. Its
truly wonderful characteristic is its
luminosity, which is so great that on
the darkest night it can be seen a
mile away. A person standing near
could read the finest- print by its
light. Its foliage is extremely rank,
and its leaves resemble somewhat
those of the aromatic bav troo in

Through the medium of corrf spon.l
ence, he became interested in Mrs
Hoffman, a widow, aged 38, residing
in Mifilinburg, Union county, Pp.,
whose husbsnd died in 1886. The
correspondence took a warmer turn
than mere friendship and Mr. Mills
proposed matrimony. He came on
to Pennsylvania, having arranged
to meet Mrs. Hoffram at Garman's
hotel, yesterday afternoon. Owing
to the lateness of the trains Mr. Mil s
was delayed somewhat, but he arriv
ed before G o'clock and found the
lady with whom he had been corres-
ponding, awaiting him. The two in
terested persons were so pleased with
eacn otner that a license to marry
was applietl for shortly b6foro noon
to day, artel was issued. Ihe cere
mony wiii in all probability take
place, this evening. May the lives
thus romantically brought together,
be spent in peace and prosperity for
years to come.
What the Whistle Says.
The railroad manager took a sheet
of paper and iotttd down on it in
dashes the several whistla signals in
common ase by all American rail
roads, accompaning each with a
few wor.ls of explanation. Then he
read as follows: "One long blast
"""V"' w" " : c ,ia 1 " uua-ithe
must be sonnid when appniching
stations, junctions or crossings ci
other railroaJs.
"Two long and two short blasts
are sounded jiitt before crossing a
wagon road.
"One short blast i thtj c ill for
brakes," coutinued Mr. Holdjn,"and
two long ones order them to be
loosed or thrown off.
"Two short blasts ii an answering
signa', and meics 'All right, I under
stand'; while three short blasts to be
repeated until acknowledged by the
waving of a flag or lantern means, I
want to back the train as soon as
you are ready-'
"Four long blasts call in any ft ig
man, who may have been sent out to
the east or north; while four long
blasts aud one short one calls in a
flatfmau from the west or south.
'Four short blasts is the engineer's
impatient call to flagmen, switch
tenders or trainmen, demanding,
'Why dan't you show me the signal
to go ahead" or, "What is the mat
ter?'' "When a train is standing, five
short blasts is the order for a brake
man to run back along the track and
display a danger signal for the next
following train." St. Nickolas.

How Farmers Get Kich.
From the AfiriDeapolis Tribune.
"The way we accnmmulated our
little pile," said an ex-farmer to ma
one day -'was simply by spending
less than we made. We sold grain,
hogs, chickens, butter and vegetables,
aud we laid one half of the proceeds
by and lived on the other half. Our
farm was small and the soil neither
deep nor rich; but I cultivated it
thoroughly, applied all the manuro I
could make or get for nothing, was
careful to save the best grain for
seed, took good car of it and plant
ed it right, at the right time, and I
always raised a crop. Sometimes it
was a light one, and sometimes it
was extra heavy, bo that I averaged
very fairly.
"We never bought anything we
oould get along without. When we
thought we needed an article we al
ways considered well to see if we
couldn't snbatituto something we al
ready had before buying it Whoa
we did buy anything, we took good
care of it and made it last two or
three times as long as most people '
do We found that we could get
a'ong very we'd without tea and cof -fee
by using m lk instead, either hot
or coll. just us bjst suited us at the
time. That was quite a saving. We
sold our egs, chickens and surplus
fruits aad vegetables t j one grocery
man of whom we bought our grocsr
ies, and at the annual settlemeut he
invariably p id us over $100 in
cash.
"VT lien we loaned our first $500
out at 10 per cent, and it brought us
hfty dollars at the end of tha year,
wo thought it was like finding mou
ey. We soon had another $500
drawing interest, and then another,
ana in a fe v years were receiving
more iu interest than we made oS
the farm. Then we eaed up and
worked only to make a living off the
land. hen onr pile reached $10,
000, which it did in what seems to
me a remarkably short time after we
made our first loan, we sold the farm
for a good price, moved into, town,
and nave been taking it easy ever
since.
"Oiir income is something over
$1,500 a year, all fnm loans on real
estate secured by mortgages. We
never foreclose or compound inter
est on anyone who makes an honest
effort to pay up. Everybody knows
that, and therefore we always have
ap2lications for more m'ney than we
have to loan."
"What elo you think id the chief
cause of the presaut dicootent'among
so many farmers?" I askiel.
"Extravagance and bad manage
ment," rrplieel the old chap emphat
ically. ':No living farmer caa spend
mora than he makes and keep his
head above the water. Neither can
any man spend half hi3 time loafing
about towu and run a farm success
fully. Whisky and tobucco have
stole many a turn's farm from him,
and indulgence in needless luxuries
hs ruined thousands while bad man
agement has blighted the prospects
of still other thousands."
'Do you ca?l te.i and coffee luxu
ries?'' I meekly asked.
"Yes, sir!" said he: "What sansa
is there in piying gool money for
tea and cjffoe when you have a river
of good cheap milk on the farm.
They are needless luxuries on a farm
