The Hungarian press regards with regret the alarming increase in emi gration from Hungary to America. So does the American press. In any case, settlement or no settle ment, ot the fisheries question by the international commission, it i3 now certain that tho rights claimed by Canada will in tho future not bo exer cised so arbitrarily. The editor of the Box Butte Ca lamity Wliirlwind says that he is "glad to seo that the bible endorses and publishes the original sentiment expressed in these columns some time ago that thou shall not steal." Tiiey say that a man left "Waxaba chie, Texas, last week, driving a yoke of oxen; that one of them died from overheat and that while he tarried by the wayside skinning him the blizzard came and froze the other to death. The "League of the Bose" has been instituted at Ottawa, Canada, to up hold tho ascendency of tho British Empire all over the world. Really, it is directed against the Irish agitators, whom the league proposes to prose cute, if possible. Sin Jos. CnAMLERLATN's remark that in America there is no leisure class recalls memories that make us think wo have heard something of tho same sort before. Sir Joseph has evidently failed to make tho acquaint ance of our tramps. The faith of some men Ls indeed mighty enough to remove mountains. Here comes senator Evarts to con gress with a. petition praying tho United States government to get Great Britain and Ireland to settle their differences by peaceful arbitra tion. Bob Ikoersolzi says tho pulpit is the pretense of honesty and tho stago the honesty of pretense. Having used up his antitheses tho irreverent Rob ert must say, when speaking of the lecture platform on which ho stands that it has neithor pretense nor hon esty. Johnny Jokes, as ho is called, is the financial king of New Zealand. He lives at Dunedin and his wealth runs up into tho millions, and the greater part of it was made in steam boating. Ho is a native and onco earned scant wages as an oarsman on a ferry boat. ma The supremo court of tho United States has decided that a slate cannot force an engineer of a locomotive en gaged in hauling trains in and out of the state to take out a license, bo cause it interferes with commerce and is in contravention to the constitution of tho United States. Mexico has threo American train robbers on its hands. Ordinarily train robbers are shot iu that country. But these people, in consideration of being Americans will simply labor in tho mines for life. Au American train robber's liCo in Mcxi" i is indeed a hard one. Eves at this late day rove'V "oej as to tho utter fizzle which wis supposed to be a fight for tho world's champion ship are being made. "While the prize ring is plenteous in evils, not the least of thesa evils is tho ability of two sesond-class strolling thumpers to gull tho public out of its lime and dollars. Canada is threatened with another serious complication in the northwest Tho new government of Manitoba is determined at all hazards to complete the Red River Valley railroad, which will free the province from the Cana dian Pacific monopoly and give it tho access which it desires to tho markets of tho United States. Last week in a Chicago court room a father attempted to kill tho man who had ruined his 13-year-old daugh ter. Unfortunately, if the charges against the prisoner were true, the fa ther was prevented from carrying out Ms design. There is a law above the written statute. The man who would ruin a young girl is not fit to live. .... An Iowa editor closes a rhapsodical eulogium on the Hawkeye state in the following glowing Btyle: "When the roll call is sounded on tho judgment " day, and the heavens have rolled to gether as a scroll, and the reverbera tions of wrecked and ruined worlds peal forth the fiat of eternal rest, I want to hang my weary bones on the galley rack of immortality and regis ter in four-line pica as a man from lOTTR." LATEST HEWS NOTES. From Hew Yori and Chicago. New Yore. Feb. 14 Shortly be fore 10 o'clock this morninc? as a Reed avenue street car filled with people was passing under a large der rick, used in erecting an elevated rail road structure on Broadway, the ropes sustaining the derrick gave way and the derrick fell on the car, crushing it like an egg shell. Seven teen passengers were injured and two people kiUed. It is said some persons were buried underneath the ruin3, and workmen are now engaged iu removing tho debris to learn if there are any other victims. It is now definitely learned that only four people were killed in the street car accident; four of the wounded are reported as likely to die. THE ANTI-POVERTY SOCIETY. New York, Feb. 14. Tho Auli poverty society has struck on a rock. At a meeting of tho execnlivo com mittee last night, Dr. McGlyun, as president of tho society, aunouueed that he had appointed ten new mem bers ot tho committee. This was charged as an attempt to pack the committee in his favor, in order to stavo off possible censure of himself for his recent criticism of Henry George. A row ensued and tha fac tions separated; each then reorgr.n ized to remove the other factions out of the society. IiAISGE BEQUESTS. Chicago, Feb. 1-L Martin A. Ryer son, sou of a millionaire lumber man who died recently, yesterday gave in trust property worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to eight charitable institutions, fonr Catholic and four Protestant. CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. Philadelphia, Feb. 14. David R. Hill, treasurer of tho Philadelphia Lodge of Elks, is charged with em bezzling tho funds ot the lodgo to the amount of six thousand dollars, and a warrant has been issned for his arrest.

Spedden and oth ers here have made many valuable improvements in machinery and con tributed several inventions that by their use show the high value placed upon them by practical men. Some years ago John Gates, then in charge of the O. R. & Co's river neet, invented a patent steering ap paratus that "lays over" anything of the kind previously used. By its use the man in the pilot house of a steam craft has his labor greatly lightened, and instead of climbing up on the wheel and turning it by main strength the boat can be turned by tho direction of a horizontal lever which regulates and controls the movement of tho wheel. The modus operandi of Gates steer ing apparatus is so familiar to most of our readers as to render more than passing reference to it unnecessary. Capt. Frank B.Turner, of tho Won der, has invented a steering apparatus which was in successful operation on that craft yesterday and whose workings were witnessed with inter est and satisfaction by several steam boat men and others. Briefly stated the workings aro as follews: the ordinary tiller ropes are not interfered with and aro allowed to remain; to the roof of tho lower deck, about amidships, is attached a cylinder, with a piston head in the middle, and double acting pistons, steam being furnished direct from the boiler; ordinary wire tiller ropes aro attached to the middle, carried forward connecting with the rods and running up to the pilot house, there connecting with the horizontal levor. The ease, rapidity and force of tho in vention must be seen to be realized and tho direct and powerful manner of its action is plain to the most cas ual observer. There is no hydraulic pump required, and ten ponnds of steam will furnish enough to steer the boat with. Capt Turner says ho can put them on any steamer, stern wheeler or pro pellor, for about S300. He has ap plied for letters patent, and will shortly receive them. Electric Bitters. This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to upcd no special mention. All who have used Electric Bitters sing the same song of praise. A purer medicine dors not ex ist and it is guaranteed to do all that is claimed. Electric Bitters will euro all diseases of the .Liver and Kidneys, will remove Pimples, Boils, Salt Kli-um and other affections caused by impure blood.

Let any one ask where to go for the relief of ailments when an external ap plication is indicated, and the natnrr.l rc sponso is to the drug gist. The drugs'5 being in many cases not only a physician bnt a judge with su perior advantages, the confidence in his opinion is at onco crylained. Besides, zs a class in trade, 3-H where there ex '" uo pecuniary T'o3t in rcciin'HS one thing over :ir.othcr, then -rsfc -jjsvc is to recom mend the best at its true value. There is really no profit in recommending the worthless, for the reaction in the minds of those who hay and are deceived is pointedly against everything sold by uch a dealer. Hence, the force of the blowing voluntary letter, which is -id upon tho conscientious conviction rnifd froni the long and cautious ex-i-rlence of a leading drug house of i Mom, represents in every line a most :inp lant and valued revelatien: "lios ti.i), .Inly 11, lftiT The Charles A.
