Thu secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
of Sun Francisco, had to pay 1250
for an idle remark. He told
meiiilier of the Durrant jury, that
the jury would be 'hanged if they
did not hang Durrant. The secre
tary was very sorry when the judge
fined him $250. It is a serious of
fence to tamper with a jury. This
man is not fit to occupy (h place
he holds. He is too indiscreet, if
lint worse. '
There is an immense crop of com
in Kansas, and at the -same
time several populist papers have
suspended. This . indicates that
populist editors are not so green as
they look. They know that a pop
ulist paper in a prosperous year is
as much out of place as poor
youth at a merry frolic They
thrive beat on the froth churned
up by popular discontent, induced
by hard times. Remove hard times
imd there is no discontent. Do
away with discontent, and there is
none so lonely as the populist
editors and "Othello's occupation
is gone" forever.
The "new woman" erase prevades
the east .Country towns are free from
it, except an isolate instance of
feminine conceit that is peculiar
to no region, but will always be
found every where. Long coats,
vests and bagtjy pants are now
worn in ths streets by these mon
strosities, with cigarettes and canes
to match. It this! fashion should
become universal, where would
future mothers come from, and
how would a child know its mother
from its father, if both should wear
the same clothing!: Strange things
are happening in the "tail end of
the nineteenth century.
i 'Lord Sackwell, the British min
ister to the U. S., who was given
his walking papers several years
ago for meddling with American
politics, has been nursing his
mighty wrath to keep it warm and
now coiJIeB out in a plumplet se
verely critising the American peo
ple and this government. ' He ad
vises Englishmen to watch Ameri
cans and to watch them from a
safe distance. If we might be per
mitted, we would advise the queen
not to send any more such meddle
some ministers to represent her
august presence at Washington.
We like our British kin, but we
don't like for them to meddle with
our politics. '
The Pope of Borne writes an
interesting letter for publication,
on the recent celebration by the
Italian's of the 25th anniversary of
the .entrance into .Rome by the
Italian troops. His Holiness
makes strong argument for the
recovery of his temporal power,
which will fall with no" avail upon
the very deaf ears of the Italians.
The Pope claims to be a prisoner
iu his palaces, and the descendants
of the Caesars will likely keep
him. He should move his house
hold effects to America where his
religious and temporal freedom is
guaranteed to him so long as be
does not violate the laws of the
land. The Catholics high in auth
ority hive among them the bright
est intellects of the world, ever
alert, sagacious and diplomatic If
thore is any potency in the arts of
statesmen, then the aged, wise and
powerfulJPope willjone day see the
uniform of the papal guar4 about
the never ending corridors' of his

People have been taught from

IMSOMNIA PARTIES THE LATEST.
A Buffalo B.IW. llnlqiu Flaa t Waalac
the Drowsy Qwt
A society young woman of Buffalo
has devised a novel entertainment,
which is shortly to be made public It
is to be a reception for people who
can't sleep at night Among her
friends, says the Medical Record, are a
jrreat many delightful people who an
troubled with insomnia, and who con
fess, that they spend many frightful,
wukef ul hours walking the floor, look
ing out of the window, rocking in eary
chairs, trying to read or write and in
other useless and tiresome occupations.
When her plans are fully matured this
original young women intends, on at
least two nights in every week, to be
at home to those distressed female
friends from midnight until morning.
The guests are requested to appear in
any unique, respeotable bedroom gown,
bath robes not excluded; the lights are
to be dim, soothing music and stupid
conversation will be the only diver
sions permitted, hot chocolate and
light wafers will be served, conches
and easy chairs will be provided in
abundance, and the insomnia victims
aro earnestly desired to fall asleep as
soon as possible. It is whispered that
prizeswillbe offered for the first snore,
but this detail is not authentically an
nounced. The reception is to be a
fact, however, and an eager expec
tancy as to invitations is in the air.
Old BaTprs Slot
The Alexandria correspondent of the
St. James' Gazette thinks that ancient
Eypt 18 "looking up" in every way.
)ome of its contrivances appear to
have been quite up to date. Actually
Uiey had already, more than two thou
sand years ago, what we call "nickel
in the slot," for the extraction of some
thing useful, pleasant or otherwise
serviceable. Heron, the philosopher
of Alexandria, who flourished in the
third century B. C, himself an in
ventor, describes an automatic ma
chine used in the Egyptian temples for
a long time past By throwing a piece
of money in the slot the worshipers re
ceived some consecrated object through
a valve. The box, the two-armed lever,
with its closing valve, and the other
details of the machine are all correct
ly described.
'.. SHE WAS HUNGRY.
The Bride itt a ChlncM Wedding Befitted
or Her BrmkfilM.
A Chinese wedding party in Canton
recently lost one of the most important
'items in the wedding ceremony the
bride, says the North China Herald.
Tlie little lady had been carried to her
bridegroom's home, hidden in the cus
tomary embroidered red satin chair dec
orated with flowers, and put down at
the door to await the auspicious mo
ment for crossing the threshold. Her
escort had come a long way and were
weary, so they retired into a neighbor
ing opium den and went to sleep. .
They awoke late in the evening,
rushed to the door, and, concluding the
bride had left carried the empty chair
back to its loft Soon after the bride
groom and his family, dressed in their
very best, lighted the candles and their
incense sticks, laid out rice and the or
thodox viands, and opened the door. No
sign of either chair or bride.
They immediately decided that she
had been carried off by brigands, and
alarmed the whole district, the search,
going on fruitlessly, At last the dis
tracted bridegroom woke up the chair
bearer and they, struck by a sudden
idea, ran off to the loft
They opened the chair, and there sat
the poor little bride, stiff, frightened
and hungry. 8he had felt that she wbs
being carried off, but dared not cry out
as no well-bred bride ought to open her
lips till after tlie marriage oeremonv.
Hence all the trouble,
