FREELAND, DECEMBER 12, 1892. TAMMANY is held up to the readers' view as an organization controlled by unscrupulous men, formed and kept alive for the sole purpose of procur ing offices for its members. Its com plete control of the city of New York, where its word is law, makes it whol ly responsible for the condition of the metropolis. From the criticisms with which Tammany is assailed this con dition, one would expect, should be as bad as the organization is said to be. The Philadelphia Ledyer, how ever, states that New York is the best governed city in the world, notwilh standing the fact that its population is composed of people representing every nation on earth. Its streets, water, light, fire and police systems are worthy of imitation by any muni cipality, says the Ledger. Another feather in the hat of the Tiger. THE officials at Washington are making desperate efforts to hide from the people the real condition of the national treasury. Some of the re ports sent out by department offices during the past few days appears to be deliberate falsehoods. By under estimating the amounts required to meet existing obligations these officials have juggled the figures in such a manner that one is almost lead to be lieve the surplus Cleveland left in Washington is still there. But it is not, as every intelligent citizen knows, and the systematic attempt made by the administration to fool the people will not succeed. THE crusade which a few Republi can papers inaugurated against Matt Quay's re-election to the United btates senate seems to have fallen through. Is it possible that the press of the party lacks the courage to cross swords with this wily politician? Republicans are not so blind but that they could find a man to fill the posi tion, but they dare not make a pro test against Quay. Poor Pennsylva nia! Must she be represented for six years more by an embezzler and scoundrel? How Fishes Multiply. Piscatory authorities of the highest standard tell us that were it not foi nature's grand "evening up" provisions, the fishes of the seas would multiply so rapidly that within three short years they would fill the waters to such an ex tent that there would be no room for them to swim. This will hardly be dis puted when it is known that a single female cod will lay 45,000,000 eggs in a single season.—St. Louis Republic. Size of Families In Europe. The average size of families in the various countries of Europe is as follows: France, 3.03 members; Denmark, 3.61; Hungary, 3.70; Switzerland, 3.94; Aus tria and Belgium, 4.05; England, 4.08; Germany, 4.10; Sweden, 4.13; Holland, 4.22; Scotland, 4.46; Italy, 4.56; Spain, 4.65; Russia, 4.83; Ireland, 5.20. Honeymoon Cookery. "And so my little wife cooked this all herself? What does she call it?" "Well, I started it for bread, but after it came out of the oven 1 concluded I'd better put sauce on it and call it pud ding."—Exchange. There are but 190 colored voters in North Dakota. There aro 15,000 in the city of Baltimore. Baltimore has an area of thirty-swo square miles; North Dakota has an area of 70,000 square miles. Whittier, the poet, it is reported, said to the doctors in attendance a day or two before hi 3 death, "You have done the best possible, and I thank you; but it is of no nse—l am worn out." Strange stories are frequently told of the doings of electricity, and there is no doubt that of all the forces of nature this is the most capable of eccentric manifestation. The pyrometer measures heat in de grees and fractions, and will give accu rate figures even though the heat runs up to the unthinkable intensity of 7,000 degs.

The patriots who are endeavoring to set up a Chinese wall against foreign ac cess to this country think it would be an easy matter to keep immigrants from comingover the Canadian and Mexican borders. There is no doubt that this could be done by stationary armies of policemen on the respective frontiers. In case|this should not be deemed exped ient, it is next proposed to annex Canada and Mexico to the United States, and to follow this up by the absorption of Cen tral America. With the Isthmus of Panama in our possession, and with all the seaports closed against immigrants, they could be shut out of the country very effectually. The evidences jof history show that there was a time when the Mongolian conquerors of China were making great and rapid progress in all the arts of civ ilization. What contributed more than anything else to suddenly and fatally ar rest this progress was the policy of pro hibiting intercourse with the outside barbarian world. The motive of the Chinese for this monstrous policy was in a foolish vanity. They imagined them selves vastly superior to all the rest of mankind, and feared that their morals and religion would be corrupted by con tact with inferior'races. They feared, too, in their absurd jealousy, that out siders would not only steal their wonder ful inventions, but would also endeavor to get possession of their lovely land. The effect of this policy was to stamp upon the Chinese and their social and political institutions a hideous uniform ity, as if they had been struck by a de cree of fate. They had wantonly and ignorantly violated a law of nature that is essential to progress and civilization. When they had completed their great wall, and all the other arrangements to protect themselves from contact with the outside barbarians, the reaction began, and they sank gradually into moral and intellectual decrepitude. In this second childhood of a race the Chinese for ages have not made a step forward in the arts and sciences, in manufactures, or in any thing that relates to social and political development, except in reluctantly imi tating the hated foreigners. Whilst, thanks to a genial climate and to a soil of unexampled fertility, they multiplied like rabbits for many generations, few among these millions have ever risen above the dead level of intellectual uni formity to which they were condemned when intercourse with the other races of the world was forbidden. As a result, the cultivated nations of the world are as adverse to social contact with the Chinese as the Chinese are jealous of foreign influence. The imitators of this Chinese example in the United States are endeavoring, by every appeal to predjudice and fear, in cluding the dread of cholera, to famil iarize the country with their scheme to suspend immigration. If they did not > possess in the cholera alarm a conven ient weapon for their purpose they would readily find another. It is possi ble that they may succeed in violating the right of locomotion which belongs to every human creatare who is innocent of crime and free from pauperism or contagious disease. But the systematic denial of this right by any nation is sure to be attended by the fatal arrest of its own development. If all civilized na tions should adopt the Chinese policy it would be followed universally by the same penalty which the Chinese have paid for their self-inflicted seclusion from intercourse with the world. This dim spot which men call Earth is compara tively small; but it is too big for so nar row and barbarous a system,— Record, The Latent Sea Serpent. Though somewhat late in the season, the sea serpent has turned up at last, this time a few miles off the Aberdeen shire coast. The vouchers for its ap pearance are the crow of the fishing boat Harbinger, who state that while lying at anchor an extraordinary look ing monster, with a neck like a giraffe, a long, dark mane, a skin spotted like fancy linoleum, suddenly rose over the gunwale and placed one foot at the prow and the other near the stern of the Harbinger. The boat listed over nearly three feet, to the horror of the crew, one of whom ran up the mast, and the oth ers dropped into the hold. The creature remained in sight for a quarter of an hour, so that ample time was afforded to the fishermen to recover their wits and take stock of the visitor, which they further describe as having ears of extraordinary dimensions (no doubt of this), teeth like a marble stair case, and jaws, when open, sufficiently ■wide to stow away an omnibus. And all this off the Aberdeenshire coast in our home seasl—London Chronicle. Deer from the Ariirondiu-ki*. A party of Adirondack hunters re cently returned with ten fine deer, among them a notably fine buck, weigh ing 810 pounds. A third shot was found necessary to kill him. Last Tuesday Captain David Hutchinson, of Rutland, Vt., celebrated his ninety-third birthday by shooting in the Adirondacks a deer weighing 267 pounds. Captain Hutchin son is a famous hunter, and despite his age he has lately tramped with his rifle j eight miles daily in search of deer and bear. In the year 1866, when he was sixty eight years old, he killed fifty-five deer in the Adirondacks. A number of splendid carcasses of deer shot on Jessup's river, Indian river, the West Canadas, Piseco and the Ore gon clearing have been shipped to New York, Brooklyn and other points. The largest buck sent out this year was shot in Wellstow and weighed 338 pounds.— Albany Journal. LIFELONG FE TENDS. THE STRANGE FRIENDSHIP OF EM ERSON AND CARLYLE. Their Views Were Almost Diametrically Opposed—Dissimilar in Temperament and Tastes—Disliked Each Other as Thinkers, but Loved as Men. The friendship of Goethe and Schiller, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of Irving and Paulding, of Socrates and Plato, have often been noticed as among the friendships of literary or philosophical minds. But perhaps one of the strangest lit erary friendships was the lifelong inti macy between Emerson and Carlyle. This intimacy was not fostered by per sonal contact, for Emerson and Carlyle met each other only upon two or three occasions. All their a wide ocean of space divided them, and a wide ocean of tastes and temperament. It would be hard to find two men who were more totally unlike. Carlyle was fierce, tu multuous, the most terrific scold in all history. Emerson was mild and benig nant as an afternoon in September. Car lyle frowned like a thunder cloud, and Emerson glowed like a sunburst. Carlyle seemed to despair of the fu ture of the race and believe that the crazy old world was rattling on the down grade to destruction. Emerson was one of the most persistent optimists in all history. The past looked great to him, the present looked grand and the future looked grander. Carlyle's style was jerky, explosive and smashed to gether like a railroad wreck. Emerson's style was compact, smooth and epigram matic. Carlyle wrote long histories like "Frederick the Great" and the "French Revolution," which read like a long drawn out series of spasms, as if their author's pen was afflicted with the St. Vitus dance. Emerson wrote short, com pact essays, in which every thought was packed in the smallest possible compass. The views of these two men were al most diametrically opposed. Carlyle, es pecially in his later days, seemed to believe in an .absolute monarchy. He ad mired the czar of Russia. His great his torical heroes were men who had ruled men with a hand of iron. Emerson was a firm champion of republican institu tions. Both Emerson and Carlyle were semi invalids all their lives. But Emerson's invalidism only served to draw out the latent sunshine of his nature. The more he was chastened by disease the sweeter grew his disposition. Carlyle's invalid ism made him rage like a caged tiger. All his life long he thundered lurid de nunciations at his own stomach. Emer son wished to be known as a lover of men; Carlyle called the public "mostly fools." Yet these two men, so dissimilar in their tastes and temperaments, main tained a lifelong friendship, and in fact Emerson and Edward Irving were about the only men of this generation that Carlyle ever spoke of with respect. "Sartor Resartus," Carlyle's first lengthy work and probably his master piece, was first brought out, in book form, in America by Emerson. The first words of warm appreciation that the book received came from this side of the Atlantic. In England it was re ceived with gibes and sneers and con tempt. It was, and still remains, one of the strangest books that was ever writ ten, but it is full charged with Carlyle's volcanic and dynamic genius. Emerson was one of the first to appreciate this genius and help to find it a public. All of Carlyle's successive books as they appeared found a warm admirer in Emerson, though he must have violent ly disagreed with many of their senti ments. A perpetual correspondence was kept up between the two men. In this corre spondence Emerson was at his best, and Carlyle never was more characteristic than in his letters to Emerson. He must have, in his inmost heart, despised the theories and thoughts expressed in Em erson's books, for his whole life was a battle against these theories and thoughts. But in spite of this radical difference of ideas there was something about the man he liked. Emerson must have abominated many of the expressed opinions of Carlyle, and yet he was pow erfully impressed by Carlyle's person ality. They both hated each other as think ers, but loved each other as men. This friendship ought to demonstrate that the strongest attachments grow up sometimes between men of entirely di vergent tendencies of thought. Men seek their opposites for friends as they seek their opposites for wives. It is easy for one man to like and respect another man without agreeing with him. It is possible, however, that if Emerson and Carlyle had been thrown into closer intimacy they would not have continued their friendship so long. Carlyle was not an easy man to live with, as his own wife discovered to her sorrow. He became a chronic scold. He found fault with his food. He scold ed if a draft of air blew too rudely upon his cheek. He was inad if a dog barked, a cat mewed or a hen cackled. He hated all his neighbors inversely as he loved himself. And genius as ho was, his style seems to indicate that he loved himself very intensely. Emerson, on the other hand, may be written as one who loved his fellow man. Humanity had so large a place in his universe that there was no room for self. Not a pleasant man to live with for a term of years was Thomas Carlyle. It is doubtful If the sunny temperament of Emerson could have maintained its sun niness if brought in constant contact with such a human bear.—S. Watterson Ford in Yankee Blade. One Tiling That OueM to Wucite. "One secret of the Chicago packers' great fortunes is simple," said a resident |of that city. "They don't waste any j thing. The meat, the entrails, every | thing is made use of but the squeal. They can't catch that, so it is wasted." —Ciocmnati Times-B tar. CAMPAIGN FUNDS. It on* the Neeesnnry Money I" Raised and Handled for Carrying elections. During a political campaign the first and in most cases the chief source of revenue is the assessment of candidates. The amount of these assessments varies iu different localities and under differ ent circumstances. A common assess ment in Illinois, for example, in districts 'mt are not considered especially doubt ■ in ordinary elections, is 5 per cent, of tho annual salary, and it is expected that all candidates, unless there is some special reason for exception, will pay this assessment. However, it not infre quently happens that the most valuable candidate for tho party is a poor man. who is unable to pay the regular assess ment. In that case, the committee, tak ing all the circumstances into account, ask him to pay what seems reasonable, or ho may be even entirely exempted from assessment, as in the case of a crippled candidate for county recorder in Indiana in 1890. A wealthy candi date, who can well afford to pay more, is sometimes assessed a lump sum with out any especial reference to the salary that lie is to receive if elected. In national elections local county com mittees expect to receive money also from tho national committee, usually through the hands of the state commit tee. In the campaign of 1888 the Re publican committee in one county of Indiana received SBOO from the state com mittee, which they supposed, as a mat ter of course, came from the national committee. In tho campaign of 1880, in that same state, tho two leading county managers of one of the parties went to Indianapo lis and met there a representative from the national committee. They went to liis room in the hotel to talk with liim regarding funds. When he asked their needs it was replied that they did not come to beg money from the national committee, but that their county stood ready to match dollar for dollar whatever sum ho was willing to give them "You're the kind of men 1 have been wanting to see," replied the gratified rep resentative from New York. "You can have as much money as you want; help yourselves." He took down two valises, and threw them open, showing then packed full of bills. One of the most as tute of New York political managers is of the opinion that while they doubtless took what they needed they failed v. keep their promise to match the sun "dollar for dollar" from their owu coun ty; but they did keep their word. Another source of revenue, and one that is much larger than we should ex pect, if we did not consider tho great en thusiasm that a close campaign arouses, is voluntary contributions. I am not speaking here of the large sums that are raised by national committees from wealthy men, especially from those who feel that they have much at stake in na tional legislation, but the amount that is contributed to county and city commit tees in local campaigns. In the cam paign of 1888, in tlio same county that received SBOO from the national commit tee, one little city of 4,000 inhabitants raised $1,200 a day or two before the election, after the assessments had been ! collected. The money was given volun tarily by enthusiastic men. In that cam paign, in that county, some $7,000 was spent by one party alone.—Professor Jenks in Century. An Apple Tree's Roots. For tho purpose of erecting a suitable monument in honor of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, his pri vate burying ground was searched for himself and wife. It was found that everything had passed into oblivion. The shape of the coffins could be traced only by the carbonaceous matter. The rusted hiuges and nails and a round wooden knot remained in one grave, while a single knot of braided hair was found in the other. Near the graves stood an apple tree, from which fruit had been gathered each year and eaten. This had sent down two main roots into the very pres ence of the coffined dead. Tho larger root, pushing its way to the precise spot occupied by the skull of Roger Wil liams, had made a turn as if passing around it, and followed the direction o 1 the backbone to tho hips. Hero it di vided into two branches, sending one along each leg to the lieel, where both turned upward toward the toes. One of these roots formed a slight crook at the knees, which made tho whole bear a striking resemblance to tho human form. —New York World. Muking Ghost Photographs. Photographers, and especially ama teurs, have given much attention to tho production of spirit photographs, and many suggestions have been made as to the best mode of securing effective pic tures. A prominent operator states that he has obtained excellent results by set ting up the camera and focus in the ordinary way on a person wrapped in a sheet or other suitable covering and plac ing the clothed spirits lightly out of focu& against a dark background, giving a short exposure and then capping the lens. If the real sitter is then placed in the center of the focusing screen and given an ordinary exposure a material ized angel will bo visible on the develop ment of the photo.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Increase of Voting Population. Between 1880 and 1880 the eligible voting population in the United States increased 82 per cent. The ratio of growth was smallest in Maine and Ver mont, and largest in Nebraska, Minne sota, Oregon, Florida, Kansas and the new states. Florida increased more largely than any one of the southern Btates, and New Jersey more largely than any of the northern states east of the Mississippi.—New York Sun. The German Birth Rate. It is asserted that the proportionate nnmber of birtliH in Russia is nearly double that of France, while the Ger man population increases faster than that of any other country.—Chambers' Journal. | ARTIFICIAL GOLD. HOW ALCHEMISTS USED TO MAKE IT IN THE OLDEN TIME. It Brought to Meet or Them uu Unhappy Fate—lf One Failed to Carry Out an lialravagaot Promise Ho Lost Ilia Life. An American Turns a Trick. It has often been stated, and with truth, that modern chemistry is indebted for much of its knowledge to the al chemists of old, whose experiments for the purpose of making gold by artifice were certainly extraordinary to the ut most point of absurdity. Some of them actually attempted to imprison the sun's rays, which they tried to calcine and powdor, the rays being supposed to con sist of pure golden sparks. Others sought to obtain the philosopher's stone, which was to transmute all other metals into gold, from honey, 6ugar, wine, blood, and even rainwater. Dead bodieß were dug up from their graves, and saltpeter was extracted from them to serve as an in gredient. Still others believed that gold grew from seed, other metals merely fur nishing a fruitful soil in which the yel low germs developed like plants. Iu a work now rare, called the "His tory of Ancient Pharmacy," it is men tioned that Raymond Nully was said to have transformed 50,000 pounds of mer cury into gold for the English King Ed ward 111, and that from this supply of the yellow metal the first rose nobles were coined. The credibility of the story is somewhat diminished, however, by the circumstance that the same mon arch was soon after obliged to coin money from his own and the queen's crown, and from the golden vessels of churches and cloisters. It is gravely re corded that the Emperor Frederic 111, on Jan. 15, 16-18, at Prague, changed three pounds of mercury into two and one half pounds of gold by means of one grain of a lead powder given to him by a man named Richthausen. He created this man Baron of Chaos, and from the gold a medal was made which bore an inscription referring to its artificial ori gin. This medal was long preserved in the Vienna treasury. In 1705 a Saxon lieutenant named Pay kuU was taken prisoner by Charles XII at Warsaw and condemned to death. He promised to make $1,000,000 worth of gold each year if his life were spared. In the presence of witnesses Paykull changed six ounces of lead into gold by means of a tincture which contained antimony, sulphur and saltpeter among other ingredients. Out of this gold medals were stamped. But Paykull must huve failed in subsequent attempts, because he was afterward executed. If this goose had been able to lay real golden eggs it is to be presumed that he would not have met with so melancholy a fate. The business of manufacturing gold in those days seems to have been an ex tremely dangerous one, commonly bringing persons who pursued it to a violent death. George Honauer promised to transform thirty-six hundredweight of iron into gold for the princeof Wurteiu berg. The prince detected a boy, who had been concealed in the laboratory, in the act of putting gold in the crucible. He thereupon ordered an iron gallows to be constructed, from which tl.fimprudent fakir was hanged in 1097. Two other goldmakers were likewise hanged from this same gallows at Stuttgart in 1606 and 1788 respectively. In 1077 a man named Krohnemann en tered the service of the marquis of Brandenburg with the rank of colonel. He soon won reputation as a goldmaker, and was given charge of the mint and mines. Subsequently he was suspected of fraud, and on his trial it was proved that he had stolen gold and silver from the treasury of the margrave for use in the deception. He was condemned to be hanged. A quack named Daniel supplied Ital ian apothecaries with a wonderful gold powder called "usufur," which was sup posed to have astonishing medicinal value. Pretending that the art of com pounding this usufur witli other drugs was a mystery known only to himself, he directed his patients not to permit the apothecaries to mix the ingredients of his prescriptions, but to buy them, including the usnfur, and bring them to him for putting together. He mixed the drugs, omitting the usufur, in which manner lie succeeded in having restored to him the gold powder, previously sold by him at a high price to the apothe caries. The powder soon became fa mous, and the quack finally offered to teach Duke Cosmos II of Florence the art of making gold. The duke paid Daniel 20,000 ducuts for the secret, and the swindler fled to France with the money. Count Cajetan in 1705, in the presence of Frederick I of Prussia, changed one pound of mercury into gold by means of a red tinoture. Subsequently lie prom ised to make $6,000,000 worth of gold in six weeks, hut, failing to keep his word, he was hanged, draped iu gold leaf, which bec&ine the customary method of dealing with alchemists. The tribe of alchemists is not yet entirely extinct. In 1880 an American named Wise duped a member of the Rohan family and a collateral descendant of the "necklace cardinal," whom Cagliostro deceived by pretending to make gold. Wise got a considerable sum of money from Rohan and decamped. Only a few days ago the writer picked up a little pamphlet on a bookstall iu New York which con tained Beveral pages of advertisements of a substance for transmuting other metals into gold, the price being only five dollars.—Washington Star. The Twelfth Juryman. j An anecdote of Lord Eldon's is to the 1 effect that when trying a case at York ' Mr. Justice Gould noticed, after two ' hours had gone by, there were only ; ! eleven jurors in the box.
