SULLIVAN REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY. Publisher. VOL. XII. There arc fewer blind persons in the TTnited States than any other coun try. Sir Edwin Arnold says thnt there are about 20,000 "poetesses" in Great Britain. A "Los Angeles (Cnl.) preacher thought lie was delivering the funeral sermon of a woman, whereas the man of the house was dead, and the woman had to listen to a eulogy upon her self. ' The managers of American sti eet rail ways may be interested in the infor mation that London's underground railway has carried over 1.088,000.000 passengers ui the thirty years of its existence, and hasn't killed a single passenger. By the new plan of railway tickets adopted in Hungary, the traveler makes out his own ticket. The Gov ernment sells stamps and supplies blank cards. The passenger, when ho desires to take a journey, yvrites on a card the name of his starting point and destination, and affixes as many stamps as the published list of fares calls for. Some years ago it was decided ill an English court that an engagement ring is not recoverable iu any circumstances. Vermont ha* just given a different de cision. A young man sued to recover a ring thai he had given a young woman who, after accepting it. repudiated the engagement. The.l udge decided that it must be returned, or else that the recipient must fulfill the conditions on which it was presented. In Paris the owners of a dog yvhich bit a man, who subsequently died of hydrophobia, nre now being prosecu ted by the authorities on a charge of manslaughter through carelessness. This is tin 1 iirst case of the kind, and it* result is being anxiously awaited by the thousands of proprietors of tloga throughout France, who, in case of a conviction of the defendants, will be called upon to bear a new and heavy burdeu of responsibility. A novel and interesting plea has been entered It i'we the I'liited State.• Commissioner at Buffalo 011 behalf of an Indian charged with murder on the Cattaraugus reservation. His attorney denied that the United States had any law ful jurisdiction over the case. The ludinn. he said, belonged to the Five Nations, a government that was iu ex istence long before the Unite 1 States was heard of, and whose existence yvas recognized by the Uuited States. This point w ill probably have togo to the Supreme Court before the case can be tried.

MRS. MEI>LICOTr. BY E. M. HAIiWDAY. fHE\ Mrs. Medli cott married Mr. Medlicott there was wonder. All of his friends sent gifts, because Mr. Medli cott had spent 11 large percentage of his not too large in come upon wedding v presents, for some thing like twenty years. It yvas an evening wedding in a Harlem church. Mr. Medlicott's friends seemed to have gathered to gether upon one side. The ladies wore rather splendid gowns and diamonds, and carried 1111 ostentatious look of wonder in their eyes as they gazed around. The men wore expressions of conscious good nature in having come to help an old comrade through a rather tight place. Mrs. Lupin, who had sent a superb set of painted plates, put up her lorg nette and let the corners of her mouth speak her thoughts as the bride went by. Good natured Mrs. Richards, who had come with her, looked kind. "Noyy I think she is pretty," letting her eyes roam to the pure profile and delicate piuk ear of the young bride. "Look at that back," Airs. Lupin snid sternly. "Well now, that is—probably the fault of her—-modiste." "Modiste! She made that gown herself." Mr. Hart, one of Mr. Medlicott's oldest friends, his associate on the house committee of the Philistine Club, leaned over the back of the pew where the two Indies sat. Mr. Medli cott yvas just now taking the hand of Mrs. Medlicott to be, and Mr. Hart heaved a deep sigh. "Poor old Mat!" and then aloud in his usuul tone of gossiji: "My dear Mrs. Liipiu, you give 11 new explanation for Mat's in fatuation for the yillugc maiden. If she can make her own gowns, doubt less she can cook, and he chuckled his loose laugh. Ou the other side of the church, yvhere tin elderly ladies were uniform ly clad 111 the elegance of stiff black silks, and the young girls in that sim plicity which is "so sweet," the scru tiny was all directed toward Mr. Men licott. "How strange it is," Miss Alice Orant, the President of the local charity .society, said, "that a serious girl w ill make such a choice. A iiiih man!" "I do hope" Mrs. Graves, whose pluiup and pretty daughters sat flushed and excited, beside her "thai Margaret will reclaim him. There is no influence like a good wife's, but I should fear. Were it one of my girls. I hope they will uever even inset any men of that sort. It seems almost 11 proyiil.net that Margaret's mother 1* uot alive." "VVt 11, I rather fancy Margaret will sit him -.traight. Miss tiraut n marked Witha short laugh. "She will know how to manage. Sin isnt goinu to giye up ht r work with Us.

Tliey did not stop to ask much about each other'H inner life. The in come which seemed bo small to Mr. Medlicott and his friends seemed large i to Miss Davis, and t'nr.t pleased him. She was evidently domestic, and knew how to economise. filio was a pretty young woman, twenty-five years old, and Mr. Medlicott, In locking past his wedding day, saw himself, with all his i stock of worldly knowledge, training j his young wife in his w.ys. He felt j ! that he was in her eyes a superior be- i ing. He wars glad she was so much J younger and had lived such a simple j life. He thought of how her opinions, her ideas, would be molded upon his. I Mr. Medlicott was very happy. | After the honeymoon was over and 1 thev came back toNew Ycrk they went to a hotel. "Now, my dear," said Mr. Medli- j ] eott, "we will go out and look for a i I little home. I have a list here that an ! agent sent me." Mrs. Medlicott eamo and looked over his shoulder, sitting cm the arm I of his chair, while he put his arms | caressingly around her waist. "But," she purged up her pretty I red mouth, "all these places are ever ' I so far down town." "Down town? Do you call Fifty- Ninth street down down? There are j only one or two down town. This j one on Gramercy Pari;, and another j on Irviug Place." "They're all below the Park." "Well, where do want to live?" "Why, up by my old friends; up in | upper New York." Mr. Medlicott laughed. "My dear child, nobody would ever | come up there to see us." "Wouldn't they?" There was a : ! compression of his wife's lips which i Mr. Medlicott did not see. "I have j some friends who would not find it j necessary to come up," she went on. "They live there." When they went out to walk, Mr. j Medlicott enticed her into a furnished apartment which was a little gem in its way. The price was a little more I than Mr. Medlicott eared to pay, but \ he had a young wife to introduce to I his old friends, and tliis apartment whs in 11 most desirable neighborhood, very near the club, and the dining room was large and pleasant for a flat. Mr. Medlicott anticipated giving din ners. Dinner giving was very expen sive nt the club, but with a clever wife who had been brought up iuadomestc fashion it would be different. Mr. Medlicott u week later invited Mr. Hart and the best man at hiswed ding to dinner. He announced the invitation to liis wife, and made one or two suggestions lis to the menu. When the evening of the dinner ar rived, he had n little tire in the draw ing room, and when the bell rang, stood before the grate feeling like a lord, at home in his own house ! Hut there was not the entry of two quiet, well bred gentlemen; instead of this the shrill voices of women. Presently Mrs. Medlicott ushered in Miss Grant and a friend of hers, a shy looking girl. Mr. Medlicott was surprised. "I thought." his wife said, "that we had better have some ladies." Mr. Mt dlieott said nothing. Ho went out into the dining room to look at tin table, and on into the kitchen. They had a very satisfactory cook, but Mr. Medlicott shuddered when he saw what he hud been about to ask Hart and Elliot to sit down to. He ha' 1 always known how to order a dinner, and he ordered one now from the restaurant around the corner. "I know the tu*tu of well better than you do, my dear," he said to his wife. "I took the liberty of ehangiug some of your arrangements." Mr*. Mi'dlieott was perfectly chlub and well bred, and looked delightfully pretty in 11 pink dinner gown which her husband had insisted upon order ing for her, although she said it was useless. Hhc had gowns. Mi** (iranttalked a great ileal, but the oiii or two little tales Hart tried to tell seemed to full flat. The con versation filially settled between tin three ladic*. They discussed there cent dentil of s nob I w oman reformer, and her publishe I opinion upon mar ringc. The men looked respectful, but 1101 very hilarious. Mi Medlicott madt up hi* mind that 11 wouldn't do to stop with that dinner. H must bi lost in a M-rlea. He couldn't have it going about the clubs that he kept such a ineiiagi a* this.

Why—there's some mist.pie here." He looked again. "Why, this is nonsense. Six hundred and fffty-eight dollars! They have sent us somebody else's bill." "Oh, no, I think not. That corre j sponds with my account," Mrs. Medli j cott said calmly. Mr. Medlicott looked from the bill to her, and from her to the bill. "Yes," she said, going 011 evenly with her stitches. "You know you did not like my dinners, so I always sent to the restaurant when our friends came in. I liud 110 time to waste in the kitchen all day when we were j going to entertain. I have my own [ life woi'k." A week or two later Mr. Medlicott 'said: ',My dear, I beliove you were right—as you always are—about our living in upper New York. Suppose you find an apartment." "I thought you yvould know how to ! manage him,', Miss Grant said, when | she heard the story.—Munsey's Mag- I azine. burglars Laugh at Locksmiths. Deteetivo William Henderson of 1 Philadelphia discussed the evolution of burglars' tools iu a recent inter viow: "The modern burglar is like j love in one particular," said he, "in j asmueh as he laughs at locksmiths. His seemingly simple tools indicate that the attempts made to bar his pro j gress are not difficult to overcome, | and yet not many years ago they were ; possessed of a very different idea, and , iu Old Man Hope's prime brute force i was iu a measure the leading idea in forcing a safe. In those ilavs one crook was selected togo with the gang, I not because of his brains, but 011 ac- I count of his muscle, and his duty j was to carry the heavy tools. Big crowbars, huge logs and strong men were then the order of tilings. Safes were literally dragged apart. "Tll a few years things went to the I other extreme. Men intendingto rob a safe yvould take hardly any tools, but would break into a convenient blacksmith shop, get a crowbar and a sledge, and then goto the place to be robbed. As safes were then con structed, a few blows with the sledge would knock oil' the hinges of one door, and then a pry with the bar would wrench the door away. But safe manufacturers soon caught on, and yvhen the handle of the safe yvas turned by the owner, bolts shot both , ways, removing the responsibility from the h.nges "Then eamo the of powder. A safe would have he crack running around the doors plugged with oakutu, ! two little spaces only being left. From one all the air would be drawn by a pump, ami through the other powder would be allowed to sift in. When they touched it off the safe would be ripped apart. But this method, de spite all precautious, was noisy, aud then eamo the modern tools. In the case of an ordinary safe, the knob is knocked off, a punch removes the com binations, and a piece of wire throws back the tumblers. Iu better safes the drag is used. If I had a safe, 110 matter how good, with many valua bles in it, I would not trust a burglar alone v it for over ten minutes at the So far the burglars are the makers of safes, ami no improvement is made by the hitter tlnit the former in a short time do not learn to circumvent."

A blow or two from its pow - erful legs or a pick from its sharp bill i* sufficient to break the back of uuv serpent, ami if the reptile succeeds in g. ttiug 111 a blow with its fangs it is adroitly received ou the long outer feathers of the interposed wing of the bird.

The Old Indian Wanted One That He Could Sec With—An Expei'- ence of Importance Wttti Indiars. THE old pioneeru had settled down for their smoke in the brain room of the Montana Club, when Hugh McQnaid remarked: "I see thnt some smart newspaper man down Eust has started a rumor that the Crow Indians will get out of their blankets in the spring and clean up the settlers and the United States Artav. I would bet that a lot of cigar Indians would fight just as quick. Why, 11 Crow hasn't got the courage of a jack rabbit to fight. The only trait of a white man —that is, some white men outside of this room that a Croyv has got is humor. "Of course you mean yourself yvhen you say outside this room," said Dr. Churchill. "Well, I mean all mining experts, any how, but I remember back in '72 yvhen a party yvas sent out here by the Interior Department to look up the condition of the Indians, and they asked me, as a newspaper man, to join them on a trip to tin? Crow agency. We had a fino time; no end of good shooting before we got to the agency. Then for the first day or two there were lots of figuring yvith the agents, distributing tracts and re ligious food to the squaws, etc., and finally a trip of twenty miles to the topee of a chief named Horn-in-the- Foot, who lived near by the big medi cine man. There was a fellow in our pnrty from the Smithsonian Institu tion who wore a glass eye that was a dandy. Said that it cost him 8700 in Paris, and could roll around in liis head same as the other one. Well, we got to the old chief's camp and found him dressed like a fashion plate to re ceive 11s. Long headdress of eagle feath ers, bead-fringed moccasins, and all of that, but having only one eye. Learned later that the medicine man made him tear out the other iu u war dance, We passed the tiino of day, and ho said "How," and made the squaws and yonng bucks get down in the alkali dust and saluto us. We made a few signs in which the chief asked for firewater by trying to stand on his head, but yve couldli t let hi 111 have any because it was against the law. Finally the Smithsonian felloyv thought lie yvould have a little fun, so he takes the glass eye out of the socket and rolls it around in his hand. Well, voU ought t>' _«■». tie old chief's face and the young bucks and squaws, lliey couldn't have been more surprised if that ghost that they looked for last year had dropped down in the party. The chief, however, recovered quicker than the rest and teemed to catch an idea, for lie reached out for the glass eye and, after ayvhile, put it where his missing eye had been. Then the squaws and bucks give another yell, and off the yvhole crowd started for the mediciut) man's tent with 11s a-trailiug 111 the rear. \\ lieu yve got there the chief let out a whoop, and out came the medicine mau. He gave one look at the glass eve and then fell on the ground, and began to tremble and groan. You see, he understood that he had lost his pull. The chief gave him a kick in the ribs, and when in.' got lip talked a tittle Crow, and pointed over toyvaril the Yellowstone lliver, the same as to say that lie yvas giving liini ten minutes to get out of the camp. The interpreter told us f terward that the chief said Hint any Hutu who had to learn to make medi cine from yvhitc people yvas a poor kind of a medicine man, anil was not needed in those parts. Any how the Doctor sneaked out of tin tepee with a couple of blanket* and a pipe, aud wa« soon out of sight in the foothills. "Well, yyi had a good time laughing while the Indians were daueing, uot knowing of course where the eye came from. The chief put the horse on us, though, w hen lie got ready to leave by binding hack the tvu to the Smith sonian fellow mid saying in Crow to come back next year, and the new nieiliciue man would have an eye niadt that he could see with."

Human blood is composed of 77.8 parts of water, 6.2 of albumen, 14.1 of coloring matter, and I.S) of saline. A new system, by which smokeless combustion of coal is rendered possi ble, lias been adopted by the North German Lloyd and tue Hamburg American Packet companies. A strange fact lias arisen in connec tion with long-distance telephony; women have great difficulty in making themselves understood. It is said the high notes of women's voices, while all right on short lines, do not carry well for long distances. A German Ims taken out a*patent for producing varnish from linseed oil by means of mi electric current. The oil, after being purified in a proper man ner, is thoroughly mixed and agitated with sulphuric acid and water and sub jected to the action of an electric cur rent for two or three hours, so that the oxygen produced in the nascent state by the passage of the current converts the oil into varnish. The varuish so produced is said to be almost colorless and perfectly free from all mineral or metallic admixtures or impurities. The electric locomotive which the Baltimore anil Ohio Railroad Com pany has secured for the purpose of hauling passenger cars through the Baltimore Tunnel, is capable of haul ing the heaviest trains, weighing 1200 tons up the grade, ami through the tunnel under the city, 11 distance of three miles. The weight of the loco motive is 180,000 pounds; its length a trifle over fifty feet; the height is fourteen feet three inches, and the ex treme width nine feet, ti', inches. It is claimed that 11 possible speed of fifty miles au liouv can be attained by this locomotive. With the ophthalmoscope and oph thalmometer there are very few prob lems with regard to the functions and diseases of the human eye that cannot be determined by an expert in a very few moments of time. It may snfely be asserted that there is no department of knowledge of the functions and dis eases of the human body that is so ad vanced as that of ophthalmology, and this has been the work of the civiliza tion of the nineteenth century. With the ophthalmoscope the circular open ing the iris, which we call the pupil, is made a window looking in upon it scarlet picture, in the center of which is a beautiful white moon-like disk, over which radiate vessels pulsating with the blood constantly pumped iu by the heart. Tlio darker returning current in the veins is also seen, while the varying and almost numberless changes made by diseases are noted by the practised eye, and tell a t:ile of warning and often of woe. Kffects nl Opium Siinikinsr. I made 11 point of watching the ef fect of the successive pipes on myself carefully, says a writef iu the Pall Mall Budget. As before, the first pipe had 110 effect at nil ; after the second pipe I was beginning to perspire gent ly, and the skin was soft mid relaxed. 1 smoked live pipes one after the other and fancied that theactiouof the hear! was slightly depressed; but beyond this I felt nothing whatever. After I had left the place about a quarter ol au hour 1 began to ti ml that the opium was taking effect. My limbs felt as ii they did not belong to me; I could control tin 111. but they seemed to lie a part of someone else.
