SULLIVAN A BHB REPUBLICAN. W, M, CHENEY, Publisher. VOL. XTI. The total income of the Church of England is about $1,000,000 a week. Nearly 400 tons of mail matter arc bandied daily by New York letter car riers. Brigandage has greatly increased in Spain because of the poverty prevail ing among the country people. The marriage statistics of every country show that widowers are more prone to marry maidens than to take widows. London's debt was increased last year by $6,000,000 and now amounts to $150,055,000. The revenue of the city for the last fiscal year was $23,- 165,000. Joaquin Miller says that there is no •danger that tho giunt. trees of Cali fornia will be exterminated, as you may find small sequoias in almost every dooryard in the State. The ways of Providence, R. T., are strange to the Philadelphia Ledger. A number of the city's unemployed who were put to work 011 city improve ments, have struck, rather than work ten hours a day. Lord Chief Tustice Coleridge has de cided that it is best that clerynien should not take part in criminal in vestigation. He declined to swear the . Rev. Thomas Coney to serve on the Grand Jury at the Berkshire Assizes recently. Ferris, the man of the World's Fair wheel, offered $40,000 a year to the projectors of the now Manhattan Building, on Broadway, iu New York City, if they would build a tower on it and give liim the elevator rights. The Manhattan will be the tallest and ugliest building in New York, alleges the Chicago Herald. There is no such a thing as "next Senate," and so long as the Constitu tion lasts there never will be. The Senate of tho United States is an eternal body. It never dies. It is to day exactly the same assembly which met for the first time iu 1789. Every second year it undergoes a change of membership, the terms of one class of members expiring. But that change neither ends the old body nor makes a new one. Effingham B. Wilson, of Brooklyn, has discovered somewhere on Long Island h perfect mine of Indian arrow heads. He keeps the secret of the lo cation to himself, and, according to the New York Mail and Express, is obliged to keep a sharp lookout for inquisitive spectators, who would like to follow him when he starts out to make a collection. Mr. Wilson has been offered a large Mini for tho arrow beads he has already in hand, but the offer was refused. When the collec tion reaches 3000 heads it will be the most extensive iu the country. Rev. Christopher Dowidat, pastor of a Lutheran church at Oshkosh, Wis., has expelled a printer from his church fur being a union man, declares the New York Press. He says unionism is against the commandments of (tod. "To strike ia takiug advantage of the capitalist, aud this is against the com mandment 'l'hou shalt not steal.'

It has been figured out that the cost of the United States Senate, an ex pense borne by the people of the United States, is SB4OO a day. Edmund Yates says that Queen Vic toria offered to make Mr. Gladstone an Earl or Mrs. Gladstone a Peeress in her own right; but the Grand Old Man declined. The Arizona people are indignant at the stories of their lawlessness, which have been published recently. They are reported by the New Orleans Picayune to say that such reports are false, and that if they can catch the newspaper man who started them they will lynch him out of hand. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Rec ord reports that there are now in the South 100 cotton mills, with '2,708,8751 spindles and 62,052 looms; capital invested, 807,000,000, as against $21,- 076,000 in 1880. In 1860 there were in the South 161 cotton mills, with 667,854 spindles. North Carolina has the largest number of mills. The death of Publisher Monro iu New York shows to the San Francisco Chronicle that the vermiform appen dix is playing an important part in the surgery of the period. The dan ger that results from the lodgment of seeds of fruits and berries in this use less part of the anatomy cannot be too strongly impressed upon all, and especially upon thiise who have the care of children. Grape seed, in par ticular, should not be swallowed by those who have any regard for their health. W. B. Muller, of Omaha, says the eight hour day "would bring about in creased consumption, a vaster ilisplay of productive activity, a higher intel lectual and moral development of tho toiler and a wider demand for the more artistic products of our factories and workshops. It would stimulate inventive genus, develop better and grander civilization and bring about an almost fabulous increase of national property and wealth. The general struggle for a reduction of the hours of labor is a struggle for a better civilization, a struggle for work for willing hands who should be em ployed. " "Is it not nearly time that some re striction was put upon the disposition of surgeons in this town to slice open their fellow-creatures in the interest of the complaint called appendicitis?" asks New York Life. "That late ab surd uutl lamentable operations have cost the lives of useful citizens, will strengthen our opinion, which begins to be pretty generally current that ap pendicitis is epidemic in the min'is of the metropolitan surgeons, a.i.{ that human life would be safer iu New York if tin operation was forbiddeu except by order of a court. Tho public knows altogether too much about ap pendicitis, and the doctors altogether too little. Two-fifths of the genuine eases result from scare in the patients, and one or two more fifths of all the cases exist only 111 the imugiuationsof the surgeons. The cure of such legit imate cases as are left is not worth what it costs. Appendicitis is played out. I'he inventiou of the operation for it lias changed a very rare malady into a common sud dangerous disease." Harold Frederic, who is a close ob server in Knglish politics, is of opin inn that the ri -i -nation of Mr. Glad stunt is due not to the fact that his t W'sight if .it 11 tii.,r to tie a't that he i» growing feeble, but to the fact thai he has been lusing inllueueti with hi- own administration.

THE FAITHFUL HEART. Wherever I am led by fate. In regions wild and desolate, Or in tho hurrying crowd, more nido And alien far than solitude. One blessed truth in shine and storm, Consoles my heart and keeps it warm ; One tender soul, through good anil ill, Remembers, holds, and helps me still. In mountain gorge, on treeless plain, In weary wastes unblest by rain, Or selfish cities, lonelier far Than wilderness and desert are, One face is ever by my side. My shield and guardian, friend and guide j A face that none but I can see— The face of her who thinks of me. Though miles on miles stretch wearily Between that faithful heart and ine, I know its uuforgetting grace Can bridge all distance, time and space, Can send a blessing from afar However wide my wanderings are, And be, wherever I may stray, My (Ire by night, my cloud by day. 1 spread my blanket 011 the ground, Remote from human sight and sound, And as my senses swim to sleep Amid the silence wide and deep. The wind by which my cheok is fanned Seems like her kind, caressing hand, And in each wandering star, I see The face of her wiio prays for me, O tender light. shine softlier yet! O watchful eyes, do not forget! O helpful heart, my strength renew, And keep me safe, and hold me true! <) gentle face, still kindly beam, Sustain my sonl, inspire my dream, Be now and always, near and far. My hope, my guide, my polar star ! —Elizabeth Akers, in Worthington's.

Stanton reproached Wild for bis dissipated habits, and declined toren- j der bini any assistance. Rayuion I Wild >vns hot blooded am, high words ensued. The quarrel was at its height when Airs. Morton, Gil bert's old laundress, who bad been completing her morning duties in au other room, closed the door of the ; chambers and passed out. Shortly afterward the tempers of the two men cooled. Wild apologized for some • ollensive remarks he had made, and they shook hands. Gilbert now promised to do his best to help his old acquaintance, and invi ed Wild • to remain an hour while he went to | keep an appointment. When Gilbert Stanton returned he mounted the stairs to the door of bis 1 chambers, but did not immediately enter. He stood for a few minutes on the landing, considering what course he should adopt with regard to the man inside. As he leaned against the door, smok ing ft cigarette, he was startled by u loud explosion inside. He hastily unlocked the door nml went in. Stretched upon the lloor | was Raymond Wild—dead I The evidence at tho inquest was simply this: The police, when called in, had found the dead body 01 u niuu, identified as Raymond Wild, with a bullet wound in his bead. A revolver | was a).in diseovtii-d which Gilbert Stanton hail admitted was bis, and the contents of one chamber hud beeu discharged. Mr. Stanton had .id: "The man committed suicide, 1 was not inside the chambers at the time.

"First of all you must please answer very carefully some questions I Bhall put to you. Did you on that day de stroy any paper?" "No, miss." "Have you destroyed or removed any since?" "Not a scrap, miss. You see there ain't no fires this time o' the year, and the little cooking I does is all done on the gas stove." Everything was being turned upside down and inside out, when Edith sud denly stopped. "Do you romember whether the win dows were open on that day ?" she asked. "Yes, miss; Mr. Stanton always use to 'ave 's winders open." "Well, just open them as they would be if he were here." The woman did as sho wasbid. Edith then placed a piece of paper on the table where Gilbert said ho had laid the confession, the door leading into the bed room and the entrance door hav ing first been opened. There was considerable draught, and the paper trembled on the table. "Perhaps there was more air on that dav," said Edith. "I will substitute a lighter piece of paper." This she did, and almost immediate ly it was caught by a current, and it fluttered across the room. As it fell on the floor they were startled to see a little kitten spring from the open doorway and pounce upon the paper, rolling over and over with it in her teeth." "Lor', miss," suddenly broke in Mrs. Morton, "now I remember! When the gent shot 'isself I was work ! iug in the 'ouse opposite, and came j back to see what was the matter. : That little kitten belongs to the party j in the next set, and when I came up jto the landing she was playing just | like that with a bit o' paper, which she runs away with and leaves on the ; stairs." "Yes," said Edith, in breathless i eagerness. "Well, paper about the stairs looks ■so untidy, miss, so I picked it up and—" "What did you do with it?" "I threw it in the pail with the other ; rubbish." For the second time the contents of the pail was emptied by the laundress and carefully examined. It was abso lutely certain that the paper was not there. Edith sent the laundress home, shnt herself in the soluaiy chambers and i began the hunt afresh. Next morning she returned to her hopeless task. Mrs. Morton sho had relieved from further attendance, aud was walking up aud down the cham -1 bers in thought when there came a knock at the door. It was the laun dress herself. "I know where that bit o' paper is, miss! I stays a bit in the kitchen--- just to see if I might be of any use, j you understand—and while I was waiting 1 puts a new candle in the candlestick. Them 'nines' is rather small for the candlestick, so 1 takes a i bit o' paper out o' the pail to make it lit. Come into the bed room, miss. Why, it's gone." "I was here late last night aud I burnt the candle very low -and tho paper took tire!" "And you burnt it, miss!" "Only slightly, I remember. T blew it out, threw the paper away and putin a new candle that I removed from the piano. I threw it under tho grate. Thank heaven, we have found it at last!" "There is nothing here, miss," said the woman on her knee*. "The grate is quite empty I You can take my word for it, that paper's bewitched." "I ilou't care whether it is bewitched or not," said Edith. "1 mean to tind it. Fetch me that magnifying glass irom the table in the next room." Kdith removed the fender and care fully examined the dust that Mrs. Mor ton's not over scrupulous cleanliness ha>l allowed to accumulate. "I thought as much," she said. "Mice I They have been attracted by the candle grease, and have dragged the paper to their hole." They searched around about every where, but no mouse hole could be found.

Formerly Cart Away as Refuse, All Hut the Dirt la Now Utilized—lts Many Uses. SOME of the most marvelous and thrilling romances are such as pertain to actual bus iness life, and recount the achievements of wonderful men, even along purely financial lines. For in stance, the pen of a master might be worthily employed in writing the ro mance of the cotton seed. There is a rebellion in the family of King Cot ton. A few years ago he held undis puted sway and his youngest son, Cot ton Seed, was considered a very insig nificant and comparatively worthless member of the family, his only merit being his ability to propagate the royal stock. Now it is quite different, as the youngster has developed unsus pected good qualities, and is making rapid progress toward displacing his father in the affections of the people. Five years ago, when the Southern planter gathered his cotton and sold it, he paid very little attention to the seed. He saved enough of it to raise his next year's crop, and, if conveni ent, kept a few bushels more to feed the milk cows around his farm. Home times he carted off a few wagon loads to dump on an old field as a fertilizer, and often he refused to haul it nway from the gin at all. The amount that rotted around such places was im mense. When any was sold, it com monly brought five cents a bushel, pro vided the farmer WHS not ashamed of taking anything for such a commo dity. Even three years Hgo, in many sections of the South, eight cents for a bushel of cotton seed was considered a good price. This year the price was often as high as twenty-five cents and occasionally reached thirty-two. When cotton itself sells at six cents or seven cents per pound and seed at the prices mentioned the farmers begin to feel as if they would like their cotton to be all seed. As it is, the seed not un frequently constitutes one-fourth or even one-third the value of the whole crop. So important a matter has it become that to-day one single com pany—the American Cotton Oil Com pany—has $40,000,000 invested in handling cotton seed products. The seeds themselves are of an ir regular oval shape, measuring perhaps a quarter of an inch in their greatest diameter. Thev'are unprepossessing looking little bodies, and are covered with short whit«-, hairy-looking fibres. These last are cotton staples that the gin has not picked quite clean. A Northern man might have diiticulty in guessing what the seeds are. Bite one of them in two and yon find a white, pulpy substanoe, tasteless and nearly odorless. How so many products and such different ones can be gotten out of such a seemingly simple body is a mys tery. Perhaps nowhere else do we find j so fully illustrated the principle of util j izing wuste products. Not a single I particle of seed goes to waste. When a ton comes to the mill, the thirty-five 1 gallons of oil extracted from it weigh about 272 pounds snd sell for about twenty-seven cents a gallon. There are 350 pounds of hulls, worth u ! ton; 750 pounds of wool, at S2O a ton; twenty pounds of linters cotton, at three cents a pound, and about 108 pounds of dirt, for which there can I hardly be said to be any real market. ; Cotton seed men are said to lie awake ! at night trying to devise some plan to utilize this dirt, but up to date it con , tinues one item that has proven too 1 much for their ingenuity. If the ; reader will do an addition sum of I these figures he will see that every pound iu the ton is accounted for; if he will figure a little further lie will find that between $lO and S2O is real • lzed on each ton handled. When the raw materials costs sls, he can judge whether or not it is likely that just at the present juncture the mills are luakiug much money. The uses to which cotton seed prod ucts are put are almost innumerable. ! The oil itself is used in making soup, other oils, lard, butterine ami count ! less other thing*. We "hip immense quantities to Europe e.-qxcially Hot terdam -and bring it back igain slightly refined Under th< nane of olive oil aud linseed oil The Armour and other pork men use lurr amount . in putting up lard.

I say farewell, but with a sense Of something more than confidence That it is not the dismal word, Which, overgrown with gloom, is heard Where tears are shed, where people part The pieces of a broken heart. And things like that—the dreadful kind, Which shake the soul and mar tho mind. To me, farewell is touch of hands, A parting on the golden sands, A look to eastward, where the light Shall rise to drive away the night Of separation, which must fall In chilling shadows on us all. To me it does not 3eem the end Of what has been for friend and friend, But through its severance I see Beginning of what is to be A promise of the future, when The hands which parted, elasp again. These are the sunbeams, which dispel The shadows, when I saw farewell. —W. J. Lampton, in Detroit Free Press. HUMOR OF THE DAY. A well-known chop house--The woodshed. —Truth.
