in the eyes of the law the accessory was

himself from expressing nn opinion its

It is understood that Mr, Mitchell.was
not favorably inclined to tlio pardon of
Simmons. The jury, however, mnde it

Judtie Bctmllet to Impose a sentence of

of which is n minimum of five nnd ii
maximum of ten years. So far ns this
goes, it only brings into stronger relief
the injustio of retaining Clnassen in jail

The infant phenomenon of the Day

governor of Massachusetts' tho other
dny by a plurality of 2,700 votes, nnd
has lieen feeling so good over his re
markable success thnt lie liegnn to think
himself almost a "bigger man thnn old"
Grover. Now it turns out that if the
the wide awake and highly cultured Re
publican voters of Massachusetts had
only known how to mark their Austra
lian ballots Mr. Haile, the Republican
candidate, would have leen elected by
about 13,000 plurality, and young Mr.
Russell, who was pluming his wings for
even the loftiest flight, is- left discon
solate, standing around on one leg like
a rooster in a rainstorm.
He may continue to draw tho snlary
and play governor, but all the roseate
dreams that lately flushed his sweet
young life with opalescent waves of in
describable brightness have fled, and he
is left to plod wenrily along in tho gray
mints, breasting the piercing east winds
of the man who is rejected by the peo
ple, and wins by a blunder. "This is

One of the queerest election bets was
made between a young gentleman and
his best girl. He bet on Harrison, and
she took the field; consequently he will
have to pay the forfeit The bet was in
this fashion: The loser was to take the
other to Widemann's any night the win
ner would choose, buy the oysters for
one, and then stand on a chair in the
other end of the ball and watch the eat

choose the night when the hall will be

Color In the Streets.
A suggestion has been mnde by nn in
genious writer which deserves the sym
pnthetic attention of nil who nre inter
ested in the personal nppenrnnce of thn
metropolis. Though lucid intervals of
sunshine occur in which "the ancient
Htrnnd" tnkes on a glory such ns thnt
descriled by Mr. Henley in bis "London
Voluntaries," we have in. : renched n
season in which tho prevalent nspect of
our streets is ono of well nigh unre
lieved gloom. So long ns the weather Is
dry a certain nmount of variety is in
fused Into what ono may call tho street
scape by the lints nnd dresses of our
womankind,
Bnt when the rnln comes down and
the Indies rtay indoors almost the only
cheerful obiects to meet the eye nre what
Homer would hnve cnlled the ruddy
cheeked omnibuses nnd pillar posts.
"Why," asks the writer, "ennnot this
idea be elaborated in tho cause of art
nnd cheerfulness?" And he goes on to
plead eloquently in favor of the intro
duction of "merry mackintoshes" scar
let, ornnge, sky blue, emerald green nnd
purple nnd brightly tinted umbrellas.
The idea certainly deserves a trial.
At present, with thnt niter absence of
all sense of proportion which character
izes the nclions of civilized humanity in
regnrd to dress, we don our gayest garb
when the sun is brightest, nnd resorve
our most sober hnbiliments for days
when tho sky is overcast nnd the sun in
visible. In other words, we enter into a
vain competition with the nil sufficing
rndinnce of nature, nnd strive to accen
tuate her gloomiest moods. Rather, in
the interest of happiness nnd mirth,
should we endeavor to counteract the
depressing influence of fog nnd damp by
a lavish display of bright nnd exhilarat
ing color. Armed with an emerald green
mackintosh painted in luminous paint
for use nt night a man would radiate
cheerfulness even in the midst of a

Tha Restriction of Immigration.
Shall immigration be restricted, and,
if so, how and to what extent, is one of
the important questions that will in all
probability occupy the attention of the
coining session of congress. Senntor
Chandler, of New Hampshire, is the
chnirmnn of a committee on the sub
ject which is now sitting in this city,
not for the purpose of taking testimony,
but of discussing amendments to the
lnw. His views on the subject are rad
ical, but not mote so than those of the
Knights of Labor ns enunciated by Mr.
Powderly.
The New Hampshire senator nnd the
general master workman are both of tho
opinion that immigration should be pro
hibited for a period of years, Mr. Chan
dler placing the limit at five. "Wnges,"
he asserts, "cannot be maintained up to
their present standard in this country
nnless immigration is stopped. If wages
are reduced the Democrats will be swept
out of power by popular sentiment."
He adduces these as reasons why, were
he a Democrat, be should vote for the
five years' suspension.
Republicans and Democrats are alike
interested In the preservation of the re
public, in its growth, progress, develop
ment, on sure, broud, steady, time en
during lines. To that end let us all
unite. Tho republic should be the first
care of every American, no matter to
what party he belongs. New York Re
corder. Tho Dewey Sjateni.
The Dewey system of cataloguing a
library was devised by Mr. Melvil Dew
ey, at present director of the state li
brary. In it all books are classified into
i certain number of principal subjects,
whiclL, in alphabetical order, receive
numlMTH; for instance, astronomy may
lai 1. Then the subjects are divided,
and each division receives a decimal;
tor example, history may be 1; thus
Vlie history of astronomy is numbered
1.1. The divisions are further subdi
lideii, and each suMivision receives a
number expressing hundredths. Books
.in tlie history of astronomy in America
might be 1.12.
After these come, when necessary,
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come the shelf marks, which
how where the book is to bo found.
The system, theoretically, is perfect;
practically it is cumbrous, and, except
to the cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Adapt
td in various ways, it is nsed in many
'ibraries, however. New York Sun.

International Copyright In Itnly.
It Is to be hoped tlutt the international
copyright, which has just been pro.
claimed ns between Italy nnd the United
States, between President Harrison nnd
King Humbert, mny not throw the plns

Inntic into economical spnsuts. But the
current yenr hns developed, nnd thnt the
coming yenr promises still further to
develop, an almost alarming fecundity
among the sculptors of Itnly in the way
of sketches, molds nnd casts intended to
"disfigure and present" everything
which did or did not hnppen, ns well ns
everything which ought nnd which ought
not to hnve hnppened to the discoverer

Love at Flrt Night.
Last winter D. W. Little, one of the
adobe farmers on the west of town, shot
into a band' of geese. A white gander
was struck and had one wing broken.
Mr. Little took the goose home and gave
him to his boys, who doctored his wing,
and he soon liecame so tame as to follow
the boys wherever they went, eat from
their hands, and even poke his head into
their pockets for com or wheat. A few
days ngo a band of wild geese flying over
the premises and making their usual
clatter attracted the attention of the do
mesticated gander, which gave an out
landish display of quacking and shrill
yells in goose language that had a most
startling effect with the band flying past.
A fine white goose was seen to leave
the band nnd shoot down until it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and
the meeting wns demonstrative to an ex
citing degree. Their gabbling, quack
ing and amusing antics afforded as much
fun for the boys who witnessed the meet
ing ns they could have found at a circus.
The new arrival refuses to leave, but
will fly over the fence when the two are
approached by the boys, and then fly
back to its mate when the boys step
aside. Biggs (Cal.) Argus.
The Latest Hypnotic Turn.
The latent hynotio yarn from the Char
ite hospital, Paris, casts all its prede
cessors into the shade. Dr. Lnys, it ap
pears, has been making experiments in
relation to what he calls the "exteriori
rution" of the human body, and it is as
serted that he succeeded in transferring
the sensibility of a hypnotized woman
into a tumbler of water. When the
water was touched the woman winced,
and when it was swallowed she went
into a deadly swoon. How the drinker
felt with another person's sensibilities
in his vituls is not stated.
Dr. Luys next undertook to transfer
sensibility from tho woman to her pho
tograph, and succeeded so admirably
that when he stuck a pin into the picture
the woman screamed. Not only this, but
the mark of a scratch appeared upon her
hand in exactly the spot whore the pin
hnd lieen applied to the photograph. It
is lucky for Dr. Lnys that he is living in
the Nineteenth century, for many an old
woman has been hanged and burned for
doing this sort of thing. Denver Sun.

"Bill," said the pii'no merchant to the
man who swept the office, "I want you
to go down the street and tune a piano
for a family. They're in a great hurry
or I wouldn't ask yen to do it, but the
regular tuuer has gone for the day."
"I can't tune pianos," replied the man.
"Oh, yes, you can," said the dealer
cheerfully. "Justopwi the lid and you'll
lee a lot of keys. Give 'em a few twists
to as to tighten the wires, thnmp on the
keyboard like a crazy man for fifteen
minutes, charge them four dollars and
then come buck in time to put the coal

It was one of the faculty in St. Law
rence college who many years ago an
swered the question of a horrified Eng
lish lady as to what form of discipline
the school adopted when men and
women were allowed to study together:
"The college has no rules, madam.
The young women don't require any,
and they discipline the young men with
their Vry presence. We really have
nothing to do about it."
A vault 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and
7 feet loug was uncovered a few days

Laughing nn it Itledlelne.
Persons suffering from rhenmatisrr.
are naturally anxious to try every pro
posed remedy. John Raymond, of north
ern Iown, hnd tried without relief nearly
every alleged euro suggested by friends.
Then he read this in a medical journal:
"There is more benefit in n good laugh
than In tho hot water remedies, the faith
cures, the electric, nnd all other new
treatments in tho world, nnd it costs
nothing. If yon knewof nothing elso to
laugh nt, laugh nt your neighbor."
This wns n new idea to poor Mr. Rny
mond. Bnt whnt should he laugh nt?
In the house wns nothing nmuslng.
However, tho medical jonrnal said,
"Lnngh nt your neighbor."
He went out on the front porch, nnd
sitting in a chair, watched t'.ie people on
the streets. For a time he saw nothing
funny. Then a big German walked by,
muttering aloud to himself.
"Ha, ha, hal" went Mr. Raymond.
The big German stopped nnd looked.
"Vofs dot?"
"Ha, lin, hal"
"Vot vor yon hnw, haw, haw, mit me?"
"Hn, ha, hn!"
Over the fence leaped the big German,
his fists uplifted.
"Oh!" cried Raymond, "I I meant
no harm. I was laughing for my
health."
"Und tlen you lectio sick Y'ankees
langh mit big Dutchmen! Dot isli nil
right. Dot ish von gout shoko on me.
Ys, yn, ya!"
But Mr. Raymond, who really hnd not
meant to bo rude in tho least, gave up
the laugh euro, believing thnt the
"shoke" wns on himself rather thnn on
the good German. Youth's Compnnion.

The one discovery above nil others that
has made Ambroise Pnro famous for nil
time was the plan, which he was the first
to suggest, of tying the arteries after the
aiirgicnl removal of a limb, In one part
of his writings ho gives a curious ac
count of a case of successful amputa
tion, in which he appears to have antici
pated one of the latest of modern fads
and to have used music as medicine.
The patient had been wounded in buttle.
The famous surgeon took him in hand,
successfully nmpntnted the limb, using
his new plan of tying the arteries, and
when the sufferer began to mend pre
scribed what the quaint English of the
translation describes as "a consort of
violins and a jester to make him merry."
In a month the patient was able to hold
himself up in a chair und was carried
down to the gate of his castle to see the
people pass by.
A successful issne to such an operation
must have been of rnre occurrence, for
we are told that "the country jieople of
two or three leagues about, knowing
they could see him, came the first day,
male and female, to sing and dance pell
mell in joy ct his amendment, all being
very glad to see him, which was not done
without good laughing and drinking."
"The camp being broken up," con
cludes Pare, "I returned to Puris with
my gentleman, whose leg 1 had cut off.
I dressed him and God cured him. I

Water Clocka In China.
In the history of the Tung dynasty it
is stated that in Persia at the same period
there wns a clepsydra on a terrace near
the palace, formed of a balance contain
ing twelve metal balls, one of which fell
every honr on a bell and thus struck the
hours correctly. It is deemed not un
likely that this instrument was identical
with the celebrated one which the king
of Persia sent in the yenr 807 to Charle
magne. In bUt) the astronomer Tsiung produced
an improvement on all former instru
ments a machine arranged on a sort of
miniature terrace, ten feet high nnd di
vided into throe stories, the works being

one for every hour, appeared in turn be
fore an opening in the terrace. Another
set of automata struck the hours and
eighthsof hours. These figures occupied
the lowest story.
The upper story was devoted to as
tronomy, containing an orrery in mo
tion. Very complex machineif must
have been required. As to the nature
of the mechanism nothing is known ex
cept that it was kept going by falling
water.
Inasmuch as the Arabs had reached
China by sea at the close of the Eighth
century, some assistance may have been
derived from them in the construction
of this complicated instrument, but in
all probability it was wholly Chinese.
