The last time President Cleveland or dered the flags returned he ha1 to craw fish before his order got cold.

This is a most appropriate time to call attention to the fact that the 8alem pas eenger depot building is remote from the business portioo of the city, and it is cer- ! tainly not in accord with our importance as the capital citr of the state and as ex tensive shipping point. Our long patience surely entitle our claims for a new depot and a better location to consideration. ' OiTT oftwentv-nine appointees to cadet ship at West Point Mititary Academy, onlr tn have been admitted. The ex amination by tb medical faculty revealed such connequencwi c inveterate cigarette smoking in the other i candidates as to cause their rejection.

A letter from an old sea captain con tains the statement that the low of the steamer Yaqnina City is attributable to whiskey. It stated that the tag-beat men drank the rnhnkey. It was a "ro hihition" day in Newport, the event of the city election ; and had it not been for this (act it is probable that the men would not have lieen induced to go in through a back door and Uen filled up till they were drunk. This is a big country. Our members of congre have to travel further than the most distant officer of the Roman em pire had to go to render an account f his stewardship. The congressmen's mileage accounts are a geographical study. In the case of Mr. M. A. Smith, the new ' delegate from Ariatona, the sum of $16H0 will be paid to reimburse him for his ex penses from Tombstone and back again. Our own Congressman, Binger Hermann, who comes next on the list, will be paid 13. The two San Francisco members, Messers. Morrow and Felton, who will travel 6346 miles each, will receive $12i!. Mr. Crain, of Texas, who lives 2000 miles from Washington,, will be allowed $$00. The smallest mileage credit will be to Mr. Lee, of Alexandria, Va., who will succeed Mr. Barbour of that plate. Alexandria is eight miles distant from Washington according to the sergeant-at-arms' com putation. Mr. Lee will therefore receive the sum of 3 20. Under the law each representative is entitled to mileage to nd from Washington at the rate of twen- ty cents a mile. . Most people have a curio-ia way of criti cising newspaper men. If a writer is in dustrious they say that he im'pairs the value of his work by doing too much of it. If he is not industrious they say that he would be a valuable man if it was not for his laziness. If he writes in a breesy style they point out that it would be much ' better to write in a grave and dignified ay,andif his writings are grave and dignified it is generally admitted that tliey lack dash and spirit. There never was a newspaper man who was perfectly satis factory to the people until after death, and there never will be. The editorial grinder who desires the unmodified en dorsement of the people can do nothing better than to die. Horace Greely ia now referred to as the giant of editors, but he was so shamefully abused during his life that he sickened and died. The only edi tor who were worth anything are dead. Editor are like Indians. The only good Indian ia the dead Indian. A FEE OF $6,000,000. A young gentleman of prepossessing appearance, who is well known in Louis ville society and ia a familiar figure at Alexander's hotel, where he ia tempo rarily residing, is Mr. Sherrod Williams, a wealthy Calif ornian. Mr. Williams ia bright, genial and companionable. He has been in Louisville for several months, and aa he is fond of Kentucky, his stay here maybe said to be indefinite. It is entirely natural for the young Cal f ornian to love Kentucky and. to feel at home here. "His father, Thomas. H. Williams, was a native of Wayne county, this- state, who went to California in 149. The elder Williams settled in Vir ginia City, wtere he was, after a few years, elected to the office of prosecuting attorney. Mr. Williams was retained as the general attorney for a large mining company, whose headquarters were at Virginia City. This company became heavily involved, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Mr. Williams learned its condition, and, as he had a claim of $1,500 against the company for legal ser vices, he brought suit and attached its property. His attachment made him a preferred creditor, and when the prop erty of the company, consisting solely of its mines, was sold, Mr. Williams pur chased it, bidding no more than the amount of his judgment. He secured a perfect title to the property, but made no attempt to develop or dispose of it. Years passed away, and 'Mr. Williams had been elected to the office of attorney general of California. One day he was approached bv a representative of Flood, Mackay & O'Brien and asked if he was not the owner of certain mining property near Virginia City. "I am," said Mr. Williams. "Do you wish to sell h T' inquired the agent. "I do not," was the reply. "Will too Uke $100,000 for it?" "I Will not," returned Mr. Williams, who knew the difference between a cow boy and a cartwheel. "I will give you $230,000," said the agent. "The property is not for sale," said Mr. Williams. The agent left, but the next day he came back and offered Mr. Williams $500,000 for the property. The offer was declined. The negotiations were then taken up by a member of the firm of Flood, Mackay & O'Brien. As a result, Mr. Will iams put his property into the firm, taking in return a big block of stock. That stock began to fly like a kite. About the time it was at its highest Mr. Will iams sent for his partners and told them be mas going to sell his shares. "If you want them," said he, "you can have them at regular market quota tions." Thev wanted them and they took tbem. When the stock had been transferred, the firm of Flood, Mackay A O'Brien gave Mr. Williams a check for $6,000,000. He had waited a good while to collect his attorney's fee from the in solvent mining company, but when it did come it was a crusher. It was by very considerable odds the largest fee ever realized by an attorney in the history of this country. ( Louis ville Courier Journal. WATER XIXES. The Russians believe that the Itusal kas, or water spirits, are beautiful maid ens who allure paaeers-by, and if they catch them tickle them to death in their crystal halls bdow the waves. During one week in the year they come to men for clothes, nd rags and threads are ac cordingly hung on the trees for their ben efit. I hiring that week, for fear of offend ing the Kusalkas ami being punished by the loss of poultry or cattle, no one must work or sew or wash linen. When girls are drowned they become Kusalkas and the wives of the watery Vodyany, and when snow melts into flood, or milldaras are carried away by swollen torrents, men know that it is due to the matrimonial revelrv that always attends the celebra tion o! marriage between a mortal and a spirit of the waters. The idea of possi ble relation between water spirits and human beings seems a very obvious cor ollarv of the idea of human-like things resident in the water. The idea of their marrving mortals is at least as reasonable as the idea of drewning them or tickling them to death. And with the idea of such marriage it would be natural to con iiect the idea of some benefit to accrue therefrom to the water spirits, as well as of curious conditions involved in the mar riage contract. Thus would arise such stories as Undine and Melasma. Un dine, for instance, the daughter of the stream, bv virtue of her marriage with the knight 1 1 ildebrand .acquires a human and therefore an immortal soul. He promises, among other things, never to bring her near a river, and when he acci dentally does so loses her forever, to be by her tickled to death on the eve of his second marriage. Gentleman's Maga zine. EDITORIAL FIGHTS OF LONG A(iO. . New York Mail ami Express: Editors laugh over . the shots they give and re ceive nowadays. In the days when the World was owned by Manton Marble and the gifted Ivory Chamberlain was its chief editorial writer, the paper often contained the fiercest invective against the Tribune, as well as the most caustic personal criticism of Mr. Greeley, and yet Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Greeley were personal friends. There never was a more pathetic lament, never a more remarkable editorial than that which Mr. Chamberlain wrote for the World on the death of Mr. Greeley a wild outburst of grief, a touching revalation of self-reproach for not having more deeply sym pathized with Mr. Greeley on the death of his wife and his other sore trials the manly grief and tears in print of one of the most scholarly of editors taking the reader into bis confidence in the momen tary disregard of editorial forms. And I be lit re it was the attention which this remarkable editorial attracted that led Mr. James Gordon Bennett to retain Mr. Chamberlain for editorial duties on the Herald at a salary of $1 ,000 a month. POETS AS PRECOCIOUS LOYESS. : Ovid, was the .great amatory poet of Rome, and was certainly one ef the great' est Roman poets. Dante was a great lover. So also have been Shakespeare, Goethe and Heine. Poets have been particularly precocious lovers. Dante was bat nine years old when, at a : May day festival, he saw and fell in love with Beatrice. Canova said be perfectly re membered having been in love when but five years old. . Byron loved first at the age of eight. He tells us that bis feeling lor Mary Duff was so violent that he sometimes won dered if he had ever been really attached since. His second love was for Margaret Parker ; this was when he was twelve years old. Burns was a lad of fourteen when he first fell in love. Heine's second love was a very remark able case. He saw her at a school ex amination. It is said that the boy was just declaiming Schiller's "Taucher" when a lovely girl entered the room be side her father, who was one of the in spectors. The boy stuttered, gazed with large eyes on the beautiful figure, me chanical lv repeated the verse he bad just recited, ''And the king and his lovely daughter beckoned," and was unable to proceed. In vain the teacher prompted him ; the boy's senses failed him and be fell to the floor in a swoon. Berlioz had his first affection at twelve. He saw the object of it again at the age of sixty-one, and a second time fell in love with her. lie wrote to her : "I have loved you, I still love you, I shall always love yon. Ob, madam, I have but one aim left in the world, that of obtaining irour affections." Goethe, in bis eld age, ell in love with a bookseller's daughter. When Rousseau, then nearly GO years of age, visited England in 1770 he tell in love with Lady Cecil Hobart. He wrote her that be had never had any true love except for the products of his own fancy, and declared to her that she Vas the em bodiment of his ideal. He wrote : "I had no hope of ever meeting her, had gived up the eager search for her, when you appeared before me. It was folly infatuation, if you like that made me surrender in a moment to the magic of your sight ; but I could not but say to myself : "There she is ; no other woman ever inspired that thought in me.' " London Standard. THE SURGEON'S PHILOSOPHY. Tbe following comes from a majer of a Union regiment : On the day of the retreat of the confed erates from Gettysburg my regiment oc cupied an advanced position near the place where hundreds of the brave en emy had fallen in the last charge of the Cemetery hill. A number of us bad got together and were waiting for coffee, which one of the servants was preparing, while we discussed the exciting incidents of the last three days. The coffee was brought on in an old tin dipper, black and smoking, and being much in need of the desired refreshment we Jagerly held forth our tin cups and were served all around. Hardly had sugar from our haversacks been added, when a breath of wind blew in our faces a roost intolerable stench. It was dreadful, sickening; a'ld most of us put down our cups and lxkjd about in disgust. "Those bodies are decora posing over on tbe hill there, 1 suppose," remarked the colonel. "There is something like half a rebel brigade slaughtered just opposite us." "Well, I can't taste any thing here but that horrid smell," the captain said. "Let us move." The stench seemed to grow stronger, and the proposition found favor, except with the surgeon, a practical old fellow who was nt easily discomposed. He rose to his feet, stirring his coffee with his knife blade, looked critically over toward the locality of the effluvium, and observed : "Pho, pow, boys! a smell more or less shouldn't interfere with a soldier's break fast. Now, for my part, I'd tie glad to eat mine here with the whole confederacy rotting over yonder." A SIMJILAB ELECTION BET. A rather singular tet was made in this city on the night before election. No money was wagered, but it was agreed thet the winner should be privileged at any time within twelve months to call upon the loser at any time, night or day, and in any place, and proclaim in a loud tone, "I own this man. He dare not deny it. I possess a secret about his life that phts him completely in my power. He dare not refuse to do anything I tell him. To prove my assertion I will order him to treat every one within sound of my voice to champagne." Imagine the situation, should this be sprung upon the unfortunate loser in a crowded cafe, or at a business meeting, or at a banquet! It was mutually agreed that, no matter how offensive the tone or manner might be, the loser dare not resent it. The manner in which the gentleman who got on the wrong side of the fence avoids the gentle man who got on the right side in crowded places is amusing, to sav the least. He lias been living in dread since election day. Philadelphia Press.

"Why, a year ago he obtained a di vorce from her and now he is 'courting her again and they will be married over again before Christmas." "I dont see that it's queer. The hu man heart cannot east off its first love altogether. Probably, when he obtained the divorce he imagined that his love for ner nad died away, but after parting tbe Bmouldering fire of affection burned brighter than ever, and hU soul yearned for her."

I, WHAT AH I TO DOT The symptoms of biliousness are tin happily but too well . known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A bilious man is seldom a breakfast eat er. Too frequently, alas, he baa an ex cellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time ; if it is not white" and furred, it is rough at all events. Tbe digestive system is wholly out of order and diarrhea or constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence. To correct all this if not effect a cure try Greks's Alqi st Floweb ; it costs but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.

The First Sign Of failing health, whether in the form of Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a sense of General Weariness and Loss of Appetite, shoo Id auggeat the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most effective for giving tone and strength to the enfeebled system, pro moting the digestion and assimilation of food, restoring the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purify ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood. Failing Health. Ten jrars ago my health began to fail. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous ness. I tried various remedies pre scribed by different physicians, but became so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. Mr friends recommended me to try Ayer a Saraaparilla, which I did, and I am now as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. . It. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, In ray family, for 8crofnla, and know, if ft ia taken faithfully, that it will thoronchly eradicate this terrible disease. I nave also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that I honestly believe it to be the best blood medicine ever compounded .W. F. Fowler, M. D., ' D. D. 8., G Renville, Ten n. Dyspepsia Cured. It would be impossible for me to de scribe what I enffered from Indigestion and Headache up to the time I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under the care of various physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re lief. After taking Ayer's Sarasparilla for a short time, my headache disap peared, and my stomach performed its duties more perfectly. ' To-day my health is completely restored. Mary Harley. Springfield, Miss. I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparijla.
