Russia has issued the ukase against wheat. No more of it can be exported and the pajiers of Europe- are a unit in saying that this will increase the fam­ ine instead of reducing it. We can’t see how it will. Wheat will probably be worth less than it was before the ukase and the wheat will be in the country for the starving people to eat.

T eeephone -R bgihter has made arrangements with the American Press Association, a syndicate formed for the purpose of furnishing newspa- with special matter by the prominent writers of the day, whereby it will lie allowed to publish the illustrated copy­ righted serial, “A Prisoner of War.” The date of the appearance of tlie first installment will be given in due time. It is written by Alfred Rochefort Cal­ houn. He was a major of infantry during the reliellion and was for seven months a prisoner at Libby and Charl­ eston. Thejierial is the actual experience of the author and another Union offi­ cer. This serial will be as interesting to the rising generation as it will lie to the cx-sokliers who so bravely laid aside the plow and other tools by which they earned tlieir bread, and took up without a murmur the cause of their country. To these ex-soldiers tlie T elephone -R egister will lie sent for a period of three months for twenty- five cents. It will take about three months to publish tlie serial. It will appear in weekly installments. This offer of 25 cents for the papers containing tlie serial is made only to ex-soldiers, and in order that they can receive the first installment they should send in their names not later than Dec. 15, 1891. The exposition committee on elec­ tricity lias decided that the names of the following electricians shall appear over the entrance of the electricity building. Franklin, Galvani, Ampere, Faraday, Sturgeon, Ohm, Morse, Sie­ mens, Eavy, Volta, Henry, Oersted, Coulomb, Ronald, Page, Weber, Gil­ bert, Davenport, Soemmering, Don Sil­ va, Arago, Daniell, Jacobi,Wheatstone, Gauss, Vail, Bain, De la Hive, Joule, Saussure, Cooke, Varley, Steinheil, Gneriake, La Place, Channing, Priest­ ly, Maxwell, Coxe, Tlieles, Cavendish. It was concluded best not to honor thus any electricians who are now living. Henry Watterson professes himself so much of an optimist that he “isn’t going to lie awake nights because Bill Jones’pension is increased from $1 to $1.50 a week.” But would not the fact that the cost of the pension list has mounted up from $50,000,000 to $150,(100,000 within tlie last ten years, and is now greater than the expense of maintaining two of tlie great standing armies of Europe, disturb any except an after-dinner optimism? Bill Jones is not alarming, but when Bill is multi­ plied by 130,000 in a single year, and there arc 530,000 of him on tlie waiting list, he becomes a very formidable menace to the treasury. Florence, the comedian, was not no ted as a temperance lecturer, but a bit of advice which he not infrequently gave showed that he was considerable of a philosopher. If you must drink, said he, buy a gallon of whisky at a time and make your wife the barkeep­ er. When you are dry, give her fifteen cents, and when the whisky is gone, she will have, after paying for it, $6.75 left, and every gallon thereafter will yield the same profit. This money she should put away, so that when you have become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, and shunned by ev­ ery resiiectabic man, your wife may have money enough to keep ypu until your time comes to fill a drunkard’s grave.
