SULLIYAN REPUBLICAN. W. M, CHENEY, Publisher. VOL. IX. Philadelphia is said to have $15,000,- 000 luvested in the South. The New York World declares that "the monopolies in this country have made more millionaires in twenty years that all Europe has made in 500 years." It is estimated that each year in New York City three thousand women find themselves stranded, not only homeless, penniless and without work, but also un able to work. It is now a well-settled fact, observes the Atlanta Constitution, that during two months of tho year—the crop-moving season—the country needs more money than during the remaining tun months. A Cincinnati railway official rises to remark that the time will come when there will be but four or fivo railway sys tems in this country. He says that even now the Brice-Thomas syndicate controls practically all the railroads south of the Ohio River except the Louisvillo and Nashville. Baron Hirsch, Austrian millionaire, and friend of the Prince of Wales, re cently asked a stylish woman of rank to sell one of her horses, because he hap pened to have one exactly like it. She declined rather curtly, whereupon the Baron sent her his horse with the message: "Although I am disappointed, I am still desirous that they should go in a pair." The Cherokco Strip is now practically deserted, announces the St. Louis Stir Sayingt, tho Government order to the cattlemen having being obeyed very geuerally. In a few months this beauti ful country will be open to settlement:. It is best described as possessing the fertility and resources said to exist in Oklahoma, but which the boomer found, to his sorrow, existed not. New York is soon to have a second hospital in which the patients, the gov erning and the medical staff arc to be women. This, states the Chicago llcr- Id, will be tho seventh hospital of this kind in the United States in which not even the gentlemun mouse mentioned by the Iloman satirist will be allowed to pick up the smallest trifle of the larder. The others are in Philadelphia, Boston Chicago, San Francisco and Minneapo lis. What John Knox was pleased to call "the monstrous regiment of woraea" is moving on. Japan now has on paper a complete legal system, abreast of the times. The remaining portions of the Civil Code have been promulgated, and the Criminal Cedes, which went into effect in 1882 have been revised. These latter take effect at once, but the Civil Code does not go into operation till January Ist, 1593. This appears to be a very simple announcement; bat the significance of it h tremendous, when we remember that it is Japan, hardly a generation removed from a policy of utter seclusion, shutting out European civilization, which thus comes to the front. No matter how high the rank of a Chinese official he seldom recovers from his greed for presents. A Canton mau darin is now bewailing this fact, for on a recent visit of the Viceroy Li to his province he presented that dignitary with a pair of lions, cut in jade stone, of great value. He imagined the Viceroy would admire the work and then return it, but what was his amazement when he re ceived a gracious letter accepting his gift. It seems he borrowed the jade lions, and now he is negotiating witii tho owner, who demands a small fortune for the property. It will go hard with the mandarin's subjects this winter, as it will take many a "squeeze" of rich and poor in the province to recoup his loss. M. Freycinet, tne French War Minis ter, has retired a lot of old Generals, and a number of dashing young Colonels will soon take their places. Tne oldest General in France, and probably in the world, is General Mauduit, who, ou the 7th of December next, will be 100 years old. He has never asked to be retired and he still figures among the officers o! the reserve. He is very proud of his St. Helena medal. Three other old fellows also wear that medal—General Mellinet, born in 1798, who commanded a division of the Imperial Guard at Magenta; General Kichard, born in 1795, and General d'Authouard-Vraincourt, born in 1796. They entered the service in 1813. But Mauduit's military career goes back to 1807. WINTER WEATHER. , When stems of elms may rise In row, Dark-browu, from hillocks under snow, And woods may reach as black as night, By sloping fields of cleanest white:— If shooters by the snowy rick Where trees are light, and wood is thick, Can mark the tracks the game may prick, They Hke the winter weather. Or where may spread the gray-blue sheet Of Ice, for skaters' gliding feet, That they uplift, from side to side, Long yards, and sit them down to slide. Of sliders, one that totters slack Of limb; and one that's on his back; And one upright that, keeps his track. Have fun in winter weather. When we at night, in snow and gloom, May-rfeek some neighltor's lighted room; Though snow may show no path before The house, we still can find the door; And there, ns round the brands may spread, The creeping tire, of cheery red, Our feet from snow, from wind our head Are warm in winter weather. Wherever day may give our road, By hills or hollows over snowed. By windy gapsor sheltered nooks, Or bridged ice of frozen brooks, Still may we all, as night may come, Know where to And a peaceful home, And glowing fire for fingers numb With cold in winter weather. William Barnes. A wiMISE, BY.T. D. MILMGAN. "I have never regretted selling the 'Romance' to Willmr." "Yet you had to give him a pretty stiff figure to get her in your possession again," replied little Dick Freeman. "I admit it, but I had good reasons for selling her. You see it was this way, I owned the yacht live years, and between summer and winter cruising and getting ready for both during the interim. I was so constantly employed that 1 bad little or no time for society duties. "Just so!" said Dicky, shaking his head and looking wise. "Now lam very fond of ladies' so ciety and have always stood a great deal of bantering because of my penchi#it, when heaven knows I was simply en deavoring to make myself agreeable. Again, I was taken to task for being 'wedded to iny yacht,'but that I couldn't help, because, with the very best intentions in life I would commence a summer's cruise with firm resolutions to put the yacht out of commission in the fall, and set to work to win a wife by the most sedulous application and in dustry—" "You're the only man Lever met who had the courage to admit that looking for a wife was hard work; you deserve a medal," said Dicky admiringly. "Yet I couldn't do it, fior something or somebody was sure to turn up that would compromise me, and the winter's cruise had to be made; so I sold the yacht to Wilbur." "Well! what followed?" "The natural consequence of being invited to join him in a winter's cruise among the West India Islands, and my acceptance of that invitation." "That was consistency with a ven geance," said Jack. "Think so? listen 1 As host I felt ob liged to pay as much attention to one guest as to another, but when I became a guest that obligation censed." "Ah! I see; you could exercise your penchant for flirting with one lady with out feeling that yoai had slighted an other. Quite clever of you, very." "Will you belay your interpolations for a few moments! Where was 1? Oh! I accepted Wilbur's invitation, and agreed to meet liim at St. Augustine. 1 kept my promise, and in boarding the yacht found Wilbur aud his bride (the latter acting as chaperone), Lillie and Violet Meserve, and Mr. Crayon, the artist, who was engaged to Lillie Mes erve. "My traps were no sooner on board than the anchor was aweigh, sails hoist ted and the yacht's head pointed sea ward. As I had always directed the Romance's movements in and out of port I felt chagrin at being a witness of Wil bur's complacent yet dignified authority, and heaved a pretty big sigh. " 'That was a wicked sigh, Mr. Dean,' said a low and musical voice beside me, I turned to see who the speaker was, and beheld .Miss Violet Meserve. " 'Wasn't it? yet I have an excellent reason for its atrociousness. I suppose you know that 1 owned the "Romance" only a few weeks ago.' "The young lady nodded her head af firmatively. " 'Well! that sigh meant jealousy, rank jealousy.' " 'I knew intuitively that it was some thing far, and away beyond an ordinary sigh; of whom are you jealous—Mr. Wilbur?' "I nodded my head affirmatively." " 'Poor fellow ! we must try and make it up to you." " 'Do pray! I like nothing betterthan being patronized.' "The young lady looked at me curi ously as if to fathom my meaning; then a mischievous gleam appeared in her eyes as she said, 'There! 1 have unwittingly displeased you, and yet I thought I was saying something consoling. Surely—' " 'One moment please. I really meant what I said. I want to be patronized.' "She laughed merrily autl unfeignedly for a few seconds and then said 'l'm sure you do. I was told to bewaro of you that LAPORTE, PA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 23. 1891. you were a dangerous man. I can well believe it!' Then the witch looked archly into my face and repeated her lust words, 'I can well believe it!' "Now if that wasn't a challenge for a flirting match, what was it? To tell tho truth I was surprised into silence, for I knew that Miss Violet Meserve was not a flirt, she was too generous, too nice, too gentle for any such work as that; besides, she believed that I was nothing but a male flirt, and intended to amuse myself with her during the cruise. Forewarned is forearmed was her raotte, yet it was too bad that we should play at cross purposes. "The silence was broken by one of the crew forwnrd, singing a shanty, or song used by sailors when a strong combined pull is needed on a rope. The shanty man had a marvellously clear bass voice, and showed his cleverness in the quirks, variations, and quavers in his rendition of the simple music of his song. " 'Listen! Miss Meserve,' I whispered; 'listen to that mau's shanty, low-voiced, yet clear and sweet. They are hoisting the foresail. Listen! 1 »'We'reoutward bound this very day, Oood-by, faro you well, good-by, fare you well. We're outward bound this very day. Hurrah! my boys, we're outward bound.'" " 'Oh! Mr. Dean. Is that not grand! and what a flexible voice tho singer has? Do you know I have always had the idea that a tine bass singer was ever a manly man, loyal, true and brave?' " 'There! There! Miss Meserve,' for you, see, I had discerned another mis chievous gleam iu her eyes—you know, too that I huve a pretty good bass voice —'There I give ip, let us declare a truce; no more compliments, no more .' " 'Flirting!' she said naively. " 'Yes,' flirting, if you call our con versation and actions so far n flirta tion. Some one has given you a most unjust account of me, or you wouldn't have endeavored to fore-stall me so pre omptorily. Now I want you to trust me, to take me as you find me; to judge me in fact by my conduct with you, not by the misdirected opinion you have formed of me. Is it a compact?' " 'She put her little hand in mine, and said, sweetly: 'Yes; we must be friends, or ruther, not refuse your friend ship, for the others are absoibed in each other, and I have been quite lonely until you came. Yes,' she said, and I noticed tears iu her beautiful blue eyes, 'l'm sure we shall be friends.' Then she left iny side and went into the cabin. Thus it was, Dicky, that I mot my wife." "Is that all? no love-making—no de scription of the lady—no propoc 1?" "Oh! you want the whole it, do you? You have met my * /fe? No? Well, Violet is a trifle abov .he average stature of women, withth' jblest figure I ever saw. Her eyes ,< of a violet color, full of spirit, ye' JCndcr and melt ing, and fringed wifa long, coquettish lashes. Her complexion is of exquisite softness and purity, with a few flee kg of freckles that add measurably to tlic charm of her face, more beautiful than I can describe; while her hair, of a dark gold and naturally curly, outlines her features admirably. Her mind is in har mony with her beautiful exterior, and, although nit posted in the 'isms, 'olo gies and dognuis of the day, she is well educated, and is a sensible wife, Just the woman I've been looking for all these years. "We were naturally much together, and in onr visits ashore at Ilavaua, St. Thomas and elsewhere in tho West In dies she proved a most entertaining trav eler and the sweetest, nicest companion man ever had. I fell head over ears in love with her, but 1 couldn't see that I had made the slightest impression on her heart. At last we were homeward I bound, making a long stretch from Trini- ] dad to the mouth of the Mississippi. Five days out wo were engaged. It hap pened thus: "A heavy squall struck the yacht about ten o'clock in the evening. We had been expecting it, so were in a man- j ner prepared tor it. I had just left Vio let standing by the main rigging over to windward to get a light for my cigar, when the yacht gave a sudden lurch that sent the lee rnil under water, so furious was the first gust of the squall. I had been taken by surprise, but managed to ; ktep my feet only to be caught by some- i body who ran against me; both of us ; went flying to the Ice rail, where we I were brought up with heavy thumps, and hearing mycompauion moan, I lifted her up, caught her iu my arms and pressed | her to my breast, 'Violet, dearest,' was I all I could say. " '.Tack, dearest,' was the response of | my fair love, and then she fainted. "The squall had spent its fury, though | it had kicked up a pretty lively sea, but ' I managed to get Violet to the cabin, where her sister and Mrs. Wilbur, to gether with the maids, took care of her. She had hurt her side and didn't leave her room for three days. When she did appear, looking so pale, yet so lovely and winsome, 1 had great difficulty in re strauing myself from taking her iu my arms and kissing her. "To my surprise she called me Mr. Dean, and something occurring to vex mo I showed more animus than my wont, whereat Violet camo to me and said, 'Don't be angry with the steward. It wasn't his fault.' " 'My dear,' I replied, taking her hand between mine, 'I aiu uof angry with him, but with you.' "She stared at me with her big blue eyes for a moment, and said, 'With me!' why—what have 1 done?' " 'When the squall struck the yacht a few nights ago, and you camo tumbling into my arms—do you remember what you said?' '• 'Yes,' she answered, raising her eyes and looking earnestly and yet coyly into mine—'Yes, I remember.' " 'Well, then, dearest, I object to the formal Mr. Dean; you must call me Jack I for you have known for weeks that I love you; that night you told me plainly you loved me, and—' " 'Jack, dear, you may—' " *Yes, love, I must kiss you—' and that, Dicky, is all there is to tell of a Winter's Cruise."— Yankee TihuU. Slavonic Customs It is customary in Pchsh villages to strew straw over the Christmas Eve sup per tables, and for the young people, blindfolded or in the dark, to pick out each a straw therefrom. Should the straw bs green, the lucky maiden ex l poets to wear a bridal wreath or the I youth to lead i bride to the altar during | the approaching year; but a dried straw i foretells either long waiting, possibly j even until death. "In other rural Polish districts, on the 'Christ's Kve,' wine, beer and water are placed by a girl between two candles on a table. She then retires into a corner or an adjoining room to watch the re sult reflected in a mirror hung for this purpose. If, as the clock strikes mid night, a man enters and drinks the wine, she is happy, for her wooer will be rich. Should he drink the beer, she may be eonten', for the wooer will be •well-to-do.' if the water be chosen, ' her husband vt 'I be very poor. But if, I as the clock s' fikes, no man comes to j her table, the anxious maiden shivers with more than midnight terror, believ ing that she is doomed to be early the bride of death. "Poland is peculiarly rich in these ob servances, spreading themselves through out the year, both i •ixes being equally superstitious in this *spect. On New Year's Eve the young unmarried men place themselves before a fire, and,bend ing down,look beneath their legs. Should a woman appeer in the back ground, it is the one they will marry; but if they sec a shape as of a coffin, it forbodes for them death during tho year close at hand."— Chamber* s Journal. Bone drafting. A. O. Miller, in the Lancet, reports the history of a case in which he used de calcified bone chij.s successfully to fill up a large cavity in the head of the tibia. A piece of the rib of an ox was used, being first scraped and then de calcified in a weak solution of hydro chloric acid. After cleansing, by pres sure, it was placed for forty-eight hours in carbolic acid solution, one to twenty, then removed, aud cut into small pieces. During the scraping out of the cavity in the knee, preparatory to the grafting, a number of small pieces of bone were re moved. These were placed in a solu tion of boric acid for use later in the operation. Tho cavity was then stuffed with tho decalcified bone shavings, the pieces of fresh bone being added last. The cavity thus filled was about two inches in diameter. Granulation ami healing took place rapidly; the only pieces of bone that became necrosed were from th-3 patient's own body. The author is convinced, from his observation of this case, that the healing of large bone cavities, the result of injury or disease, is greatly facilitated by stuffing them with deealcified-bone chips, that these are superior to fresh bone, and that fresh bone not only is of no use, but actually hinders the process of granula tion. An Ocean Para«li»?. The Island of Hogolen, in the Poly nesia, is an immense coral atoll, 130 miles iu circumference, having four en trance passages.

Its fcrea is about 10,000 square miles, and its population before the war with Eng land, in 1879, was about 250,000. This war, which brought the Zulus and their king, Cetewayo, into prominent notice, was forced upon them by the representa tives of the British Government in Natal, who had 1 jng been anxious to annex the country. In order to have some pre tense for a forcible occupation of the land, Sir Bartle Frere demanded of Cetewayo that largo lines in cattle should be paid for offenses of the Zulus on the border; that he should disband his army, and not attempt to form it again; and that he should allow a British officer to live in Zululand and assist him in ad ministering the government. This, naturally, brought about the desired war. At first the Zulu army, which num bered about 42,000 men, was successful in every battle, and had Cetewayo de sired to push his advantage after the battle at Isandlwana he could have crossed the border and completely anni hilated the English; but from the first he insisted that he was lighting ou the defensive only, and his soldiers were under strict orders not togo over into Natal to tight. The final battle in the war was fought on July 4, 1879, result ing in a total defeat of tho Zulu army, and on August 13 Cetewayo was taken to Cape Town as a prisoner. Subsequently he was taken to England, but in Decem ber, 1882, he was reinstated King of Zlihiland, to rule it as a vassal of Eng land. In 1888 he was wounded in a battle with one of the subordinate chiefs, who had been left in possession of a large tract of country at the north, and died at Natal in March, 1884. It was in the Zulu war that the young Prince Imperial of France was killed, he having joined the English army in search of renown.— Brooklyn Citizen. Blue Jackets Are Mostly Americans. "There is a general impression that our naval service is full of foreigners," r.aid Lieutenant Simonsou to me.
