See that your premises are proper ly cleaned of all the filth which accu mulates during the winter, so that disease of any kind cannot get a foot hold. _ An Austrian confectioner has bit ; upon the idea, relates the New York Tribune, of printing the news of the ; day upon a thin paste of dough, using chocolate instead of ink. He delivers 1 these cakes to his customers, who first read them, and then eat them with their coffee. This is a new and novel way of devouring the news. Atlanta, Georgia, is to have the next great exposition. It will be held in 1 N0,5, and $200,000 have been already subscribed by the citizens of the city to insure its success. Atlan ta is one of the most enterprising cities of the South, and the plans that are being prepared for the show leave no doubt of i!s progressiveness. New York city had a sensation the other day when a number of well-to do society ladies were arrested for engaging in pool buying on horse races. The returns from the tracks were received in what was ostensibly a woman's club, whore betting was done quietly, but industriously. The gambling mania, it seems, is no re specter of persons. All the governments in the world are heavily in debt. Nearly every separate state in this Union is heavi ly in debt. Nearly every individual is more or less in debt. It is time for all to turn over a leaf, make a new deal, buckle down and pav.all these debts and take a solemn oath if the good Lord lets them live to get through never to go in debt again. The battle of the future will he fought by eletricitv, predicts the New York Advertiser. A motor has been devised to operate a gatlinggun with out requiring any labor on the part of the gunner beyond setting the ma chine iu motion. A whole battery of gatling guns, by the aid of the'new device, can be planted in front of the enemy. The gunners can then retire behind the breastworks where tiny press the button and the bullets do the rest. As the sun breaks through a dark bank of clouds after a prolonged period of gloom and gladdens the earth, poetically remarks a contem porary, so breaks prosperity through the heavy clouds of commercial do pression. From many quarters comes the news of factory fires rekindled, of looms set to work, of the return of activity to prostrated communities. Slowly, yet surely, trade is reviving, and our winter of discontent will bo followed by a summer of rejoicing. There is no objection against said summer putting in an early appear ance that we know of. The Maueh Chunk correspondent of the Weatherly /A rid./is away off when be tries to tell its readers that I the Tmni NE is doing any chronic kicking over the action of the poor \ directors in selecting Neumiller for' secretary. Wo thought a llepubli can was to get tbo position, and knowing none better qualified for it than Davis, we said he ought to have it. That was our opinion, but since the directors thought different and decided to repay Neumiller for his j treachery to Gildca we have had : nothing to say in the matter. It's not our funeral and we don't kick when Republicans make blunders. Says the Philadelphia Record: ' The total imports of sugar and molasses last year amounted to within a small fraction of 4,000,000,000 pounds. At a uniform rate of 1 cent a pound these imports would have yielded a fiscal revenue of $40,000,000. Is there any other source from which so much revenue could bo so easily obtained with so little cost to consumers?" Suppose this is all true, is that any reason why a "duty" should be im posed on sugar? I s the fact that a cer tain robbery will produce a large revenue with little effort ami risk any justification of the robbery? There is no excuse for the taking by the government of anything but the ren tal value of land, for all other values are produced by individuls and ri"ht fully belong to them. The gov".. meut, like an individual, is morally l>ound to live withm its own proper income. A SONG OF CHEER.

Lord, in Chicago Kecord. fCopyright, 1801, bv Emily S. Howard.] "What hast thou done, Peppino?" Peppino does not answer. . "Speak, Peppino," urges again the priest. "The Holy Virgin cannot for give thee, if thou rehisest to confess tliy sin." "Reverend father," falters the man, trembling and shivering with cold, but not from the damp and chilly atmos phere of the cathedral, with its granite pillars and marble floors. The shep herd of the Roman Campagna is accus tomed to the drenching rains that wet him to the skin as well as the burning rays of the sun. Peppino has cast off the coarse round cloak in which his shivering form was wrapped. Prostrated before the con fessional, he clutches convulsively tho arm of the priest "Reverend father, I—" 'Speak, Peppino; was it thy neigh bor's chattel?" The shepherd shakes his head with proud disdain. To aid him in the difticult, task the aged priest winds his arm kindly around the sturdy shoulders of the man at Ills feet "Speak," lie urges again, "was it the knife, Peppino?" | Peppino nods his head. "Who was thy victim, my son?" Tho shepherd whispers: "Count Lu dovico Purziano." An expression of horror passes over the priest's pale face. "Count Ludo vleo Purziano, for whose slayer the Carabinieri have been hunting tho mountains for the last three years?" "It is he." Peppino smiles grimly, as he reveals his handsome teeth behind a black mustache. 110 seems proud to have confessed a secret which the arm of the king has vainly sought to ferret on t. "Count Ludovico Porziano! A most pious gentleman! Peppino?" exclaimed the priest "A pious gentleman, he? Corpo di IJaceo -a very pious gentleman, in deed!" "Is it thus you rue the sin, Peppino?" "Forgive me, reverend father! He had stolen my tweetheart, and would have fared no better at another's band!" "Peppino!" "The provocation was great, rev erend father, yet this very day on my return to the city 1 saw him again lie before me sweltering in his blood, and I knew nothing that could rid me of the horrible night-mare but a confes sion of the deed!" "My sou, sincere repentance will ap pease the mbst gruesome ghosts, and I ':f? }n /§? i $ : m #: #|§ fiP ASKED HER FOR A DRINK OF WATER, an humble confession assures you al>- solution. Come, tell me how it hap- I penod!" "Ilear me then, reverend father! She was a lovely child, scarcely seventeen years of age. Sweet and tender, and as pure as the Madonna. Signor, liei • yes were us clear as the light of tho , j moon, and her soul as white as the inounlain snows. She had promised to l "W Her father was a peasant | of the ( ampagna, who lived at Forrnel lo. One day, as I drove my goats tc pasture, I saw her standing near the fountain, with her long, black hair twisted into a simple knot, and a red I kerchief wound around her white fore head. A bunch of asphodolos blossoms of which the lasses of the <uinpagna are so fond, was pi nned to her crimson breast-cloth. She smiled at me, rever end father, as I walked by, ah, such a sweet and coy smile! "There came a day, when the count rode by Marianita's humble but on his return from the chase. He saw her coining from the well, carrying a jug on her head. Her sight was pleasing to his blase eye, and, alighting from i his horse, lie asked her for a drink of water. Marianita chatted with him. It was the fir tit time in her life that she had met so rich antl (?raiul a man, and he himself perhaps had never I seen a prettier lass:. I .'a! Father, he I poured into her ear s 'ft, caressing I words. Old Mia, her neighbor, informed i me that Mnrianilu inet the c tint not I far fiom tho .ountuiu throe times in j succession. From that time on she avoided me. A ter that J earrie Imy carbine with me every day. 1 went to I the trysting-place, where a dense clus ter of cypresses covers a pile of debris, j at nn hour which Mi i had named to j ir:e. They were not there. Not far away, where the lane describes a sharp turn, 1 came upon them sitting on :i i stone under an olive tree. She saw me first and jumped to her feet like a j frightened fawn. My face, my gun, j told their own tale. The count escaped j into the udj cent orange grove. My lands trembled nervously, reverend rather. 1 could hardly hold the ear- Dine. I ra'.'> tl it like a Hash, for I saw lim crouching behind some shrubs. Vly aim was good, and i woul i have tilled him then, had not M;.rianiia thrown herself before the muzzle of my ?un. I dropped it, caught her by the shoulder, and threatened both with nslant death, if I ever found them to gether again. "She pleaded with me, and promised to heed my warning. Hut he had al *eady won her heart with caresses and allurements, and it was noised abri'ad that the two still met eandestir.ely, j here and there, in the many hiding j places among the debris, the ruins and j the dark pine forests of the t'ampagna. "I sought the count one evening iu his palace, but his servants refused to let me enter, and drove me with gibes and curse*; from his door. Several days later I laid in waiting for him, as he strolled through his park. I sprang from the laurel bushes which had con sealed me, and implored and threat- * ened him to keep away from my prom ised wife. 1 told him that Marianita and I were soon to bo marrie-l. 11 • laughed at me and repulsed mo with iisdain. I grasped my knife—and -•aught him by the throat. He vowed then not to molest the girl again. " 'Jhgnor,' I cried, 'there will be mur der, if you forget what you promised mo this day.' "I returned to my homo and put iny .ittle house in order. The wedding was to take place a fortnight later. Hut ft I - ;ksri "3?' S-' "I CLUTCHKD IIIM BY THE Til MOAT. '* the count still know where to find Marianita. I never met them in each other's company again, 'tis true, but ray heart was full of ominous mi '.fir ings. Three days before the wrd ling day I hurried to my sweet one's home, to find no one but her aged father.sit ting gloomily before the hearth. " 'Forget that you knew her, Hcp piuo,' said he. 'She is not worthy of you. She went away during the night, and wo do not oven know where she has gone. All her belongings arc hero, and she has taken nothing with her but ray curse.' "My heart was filled with bitterness. I went away, and drove my goats up into the mountains as 1 had always :lono. Every night 1 hung around the count's palace for more than a year, but his servants informed me that the sig nor had gone away. "When he returned, he came alone; Marianita was not with hi in. 1 met him several times, in the fields and on the country roads, and he, too, recog- I nized me. Hut he was never aloue. lie was exceedingly cautious, arid re frained from hunting through tne woods, as had been his custom for* merb'. I always greeted him politely, and wore a smiling countenance, as if I had forgotten his treachery, and the sorrow it had caused me. "In course of time the count's fears were allayed, lie was afraid of me no longer, and resumed his old habit of riding through the country. Ere long, 100, he roamed again in the shadowy avenues of his park. "Two years had gone by since Muri inita's disappearance. One evening I ; mine upon him in the same spot, where ne had given me his solemn pledge, not to see her again. "Above us expanded tlie same blue *ky; the same soft breezes played with the leaves of the plane-trees, and noth >ng out, the mournful cry of an owl, nesting in the ruins of an old pagan , i t, '"'P lß not fur away, disturbed the . profound sd.Tb >nn t recoff | : '"f ''"V a but this limu, ere be eonld take to flight, i clutched his ! throat ana-burl,. 1 my Unife in his ' treacherous heart." , | l.'nf ithomed Depth*. In many respects the north I*a. ;fl c eccan resembles the north Atlantic. \ great warm current, much like the gulf stream and of equal magnitude called the black stream or Japan cur rent, runs northward along the east ern shore of Asia.
