How lo Become Naturalized.
A boy who came here under the
age of 18 years, alter he has b( rome
of age and after a residence here of
five years, can go before a judge of a
court of record aud procure bis natur
alization papers, and at once become
a citizen. lie must however, pro
duce one citizen who can swear that
the applicant came here under the
age of 18 years aud has lived in the
United States not less than five
years, and in the State not less than
one year. Where the applicant was
over 18 years when he came to this
ct nntry, be must declare his inten
tion ol becoming a citizen, aud a resi
dence of five years in all, and of at
least two tears alter his declaration
of intention, is necessary before he
can become a fully naturalized citi
zen.
Brazilian Anacondas.
Two large anacondas were discov
ered iu the hold of the barkentine
Emma R. Smith, which is now dis
charging a cargo of phosphate rock
at South Camden, N. J. Each of the
reptileß measures over thirteen feet
long. The captain of tbe vessel is
unable to account for the snakes being
abcurd of tbe ship, aud thinks tbat
they might have reached the rigging
from dense overhanging tropical foli
age while Ibe vessel was lying in the
harbor of Para, Brazil, which is con
ceded to be the home of tbe anaconda
and the boa constrictor. The rep
tiles have thus far shown no inclina
tion to interfere with the crew or tbe
'longshoremen on the vessel. The
captain will probably dispose of the
suakes to some museum snake charm
er.
Jtse Honest.
In almost every paper we pick up
we find an item explaining how "one
of our honest farmers" has heen swin
dled by two or three three-card monte
sharps. It might be a good lesson
to the rest of the community in which
tbe honest farmer, who plays three
card monte, lives, to arrest birn for
gambling and allow the courts to de
termine whether the gambler
who takes his changes ami
comes out the loser is any lets a gam
bler than tbe winner, Tbe man who
bets on a horse raco, three aces or
three card monte takes his chances,
and when he puts up his money ex
pects to be the winner, and only be
comes tbe innocent granger when he
gets left. Be honest if you can, if
not, don't advertise it.—Conneaut
ville Courier.
A Woman 140 Years Old.
Probably in no country are exam
ples of longevity so numerous and so
striking as Russia. Almost every
day the newspapers contain well au
thenticated accounts of women and
men who took part in, and have a vi
vid recollection of, the most notewor
thy events of the last quarter of tbe
eighteenth century. The latest of
these instances is that of a woman
who is only forty years younger thau
the Patriarch laasc when he died
This human relic of the past, who
celebrated her 140 th birthday some
weeks aero, lived exclusively on pota
toes and rnilk. She was at all times
a strict teetot*leer, Sbc is still live
ly, brink and cheerful, and ran read
without spectacles.
Tion't give up, rny poor, siek friend;
While there's life there's hope, 'tis said;

To Be Taken When Cool.
The following story was thrown at
us yesterday: A farmer wbila work
ing near the creek at the poor farm
saw a weasel catch a rat. The weasel
attempted to swim across the creek,
when a pickerel grabbed the weasel,
and the rat escaped. Spring this on

Labor's Interest is the Country's.
The wealthy importers who are
largely Free Traders because it would
inevitably increase their impor
tations autl profits lor a time at least,
would do well to reilect upon the pa
triotic sentiments uttered by Mr. H.
K. Tburber,?of the great importing
firm of Thurber, Whylaud A Co., in
his recent letter to the wnge earners
of the United States, Mr. Thurbor
says:—
"Free Trade is a very pretty theo
ry, but it is mainly professional men
who advocate it, and it is gratifying
to some to preach 'that all the world
arc brothers' and that consequently
we should not protect the labor of
own neighbors, our own citizens,
who build our towns into villages,
our villages into cities, who consume
our own raw products. Free Trade
may be charity to foreign operatives,
but I for one belieye that charity be
gins at home first; that my own
country is eutitled to my first regard,
that the interest of the wage earner
of this country is mv interest, that
his success is my success. I also be
lieve that what European manufac
turers want us to do is not for our
interest to do. When every Europe
an paper hailed President Cleveland's
Message with delight as tending to
ward Free Trade it convinced me
that it was not for the best of this
country that he should be re elected."
The friendly attitude toward the
labor movement which has been mani
fested by the Thurbers lor many years
adds significance to this unqualified
declaration against Cleveland's Free
Trade conspiracy.
