A ship infected with yellow fever has arrived in Baltimore, and hean placed in quarantine.

Brazil is preparing the constitution under which she expects to do business as a republic and in one important matter is fa r ahead o f our Uncle Sam. They will require their voters to be able to read and write.

Iow a legislature, Saturday, voted on the democratic measure to substitute local option for prohibition, and the measure was indefinitely postponed by a strict party vote, the republicans voting for the prohibition. .

W ith the Tammany corruption in Y ew T o r t , recently unearthed, the stealing o f the democratic officials in Y ew Jersey, Louisiana. Mississippi, Kentucky, and numerous other localities that party is losing no great part Of established record.

According to the Inter Ocean, Chicago contains the la igQst area, under a single municipal government, of any city in the world, having 174 square miles to London s i 11 Pmladel phia 129, Y ew 1 orlc 42. "When Chicago gets her 174 miles as thicklv peopled as London has her 122. she may begin to boast o f her largeness.

Maryland furnishes the latest addition to the list o f defaulting Democratic state treasurers. There are eight o f them all told, and the amount o f their thefts, together with the victimized states,, is: shown by the following table:

Nebraska's Beet Sugar Works.The landing o f 3,000 tons o f machi

nery and seed for the establishment of a great sugar factory in Yebraska will, we hope, prove to be the beginning o f a new era o f agricultural prosperity. Grand Island,in Yebraska, is the destination o f the ponderous and costly machinery which has been landed in Y ew Orleans from the German steamship Mymplicea. The plant is manufactured by a German firm, whose machinery is used in most o l the great beet-root- manufactories Of the empire, and when inclosed in suitable buildings the first cost to the projectors o f the new enterprise will have been not less than 8500,- 000. Capital does not invest thus freely in schemes that are visionary. The success o f Mr. Sprecfcels in California has inspired the ambition o f practical men in Yebraska, the soil o f which state is said to be even better suited to the growth of sugar beets than that o f California. I t is to be hoped that the fullest measure o f success may attend the new venture. There is no reason apparent why it should not.

Germany has ceased to be dependent on tropical countries for its supply o f sugar: i t grows its own beets, makes them into sugar, supplies its own people cheaply, and has a large surplus for exportation. The soils and climates of most o f our northwestern states are better adapted to the growth o f sugar beets than are those o f Germany. The skill o f our workmen is not inferior to that o f the German people. A larger and richer home market is open to the American than to the German manufacturer. The making o f beet sugar on a large and profitably scale is an accomplished fact in Europe, and should he an accomplished fact in the United States.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

call for a certain number o f convicts and the state furnishes them. I f they can not fill the quota otherwise the most trivial offenses are made excuses for long terms o f imprisonment. I have n o doubt that many innocent men are serving sentences in sonthern convict camps that a quota might he filled."

ADDITIONAL LOCALS

A r r a n g e m e n t s are being made to build a new street railway from Chicago to Evanston. This will add to the profits o f those w ho have real estate investments in Austin. Some Buchanan cash is invested there.

The enormous defalcations of Archer, the Democratic State Treasurer o f Maryland, illustrate the carelessness and loose methods o f Democratic officials. The Baltimore American says:

There is a plain law on the statue books of Maryland making it obligatory on tne Governor to examine into the accounts o f the Treasurer’s office twice a year. And yet, when this law was quoted to Gov. Jackson the other day he declared that “he had never been aware that any such duty was laid upon the Exeentiya by the State Constitution until his attention had been called to it.” A s a consequence of this lack o f knowledge and neglect o f the Governor the bondsmen o f Mr. Archer will refuse to make good his shortage and the State will lose from $200,Q00 to §500,000.

The revelations in this case also throw a flood o f light upon another interesting point that illustrates Democratic methods. On the day before the election o f 1SS9 it was known that the Democratic State Committee had spent its last dollar. In this emergency enough money to carry on the fight suddenly appeared. I t was contributed by Archer, who handed over §40,000 to the State Committee—money raised by the sale o f the State securities. A s the situation stands now, the State will lose form §200,000 to §500,000, the bondsmen claim that they are not liable owing to the negligence o f the Governor, the banks will not be compelled to return the stolen securities, and fraud in the shape o f Archer has been replaced by corruption in the shape o f Gorman, who is now at the helm. Poor Maryland, my Maryland!—• Chicago In ter Ocean.

M r. D ePew Criticises the South.Washington", April 4.—Chauncey

M. DePew arrived here this evening in excellent health. In an interview he expressed himself as delighted with the hospitality o f the southern people.

“Didyou see much o f thenew south ?” the reporter asked,

“Some o f the new south and a great 'deal o f the old south. I t is there stilL The old stock look on the colored man as a sort o f animal, destitute o f -moral sense and responsibility, who, like a Frankenstein, becomes, for that reason, dangeroQS in proportion to his liberty and opportunities. They sincerely think that their property will be wiped out or confiscated, theiy homes broken up, and society destroyed i f the colored man’s votes are counted; and they look upon northern Republicans as a species o f anarchists who will cheerfully cooperate in their destruction. Nine- tenths o f the Democrats in the south seem to be imbued w ith such ideas. The new south has a different spirit; it believes in mines and mills and corner lots. I t believes in attracting enterprise and capital; but the old squth is a long way down in the millennium o f a political regeneration. The remedy is not plain,, but it certainly does not lie in Federal legislation. One thing, much more than any other, that has debauched public sentiment in the south is the convict labor system which holds in certain states. Unless Kennan’s stories o f Siberian horrors are absolutely true there can be no scenes in a civilized country so terrible as in the southern convict camps. These poor wretches are leased to men who have no interests in their welfare or reformation. Y o one sees whether they are properly fed, clothed, housed, or eared for. Sometimes the contracts

BEATING A BUNCO.’

A.n iim isiiig In c id e n t Said to H a v e .Tran* spired in X nncol# P a rk , Chicago* ■*»

1 tfs a curious feature in human nature that while a man will peril his life tp assist a stranger who is being forcibly robbed, lie w ill turn about and delight in seeing that same m an' taken in and ■ done for by a “ skin” game or a bunco man. On the next bench to ns In Lincoln park, Ghicago, one day, sat a long, lean, lank stranger who had hayseed and onion tops scattered. all over Mm to prove his hailing place, and . he gave himself away In every move he made. Pretty soon a slick you n g" man approached and extended his hand and exclaimed:

“ W ell, well, but how are you Stevens?”

‘ ‘How ar’ ye?” replied the man, as he looked up in a puzzled way.

“ W hatl Don’t you know me?” “ W hy, your face looks kinder fa

miliar, but I can’tplace ye.” .

' "Can’ t "place iTTe"! 5T am 'William Scott, nephew o f the judge o f probate in Grassville 1 I saw yon hundreds o f timesin the two years I lived with m y uncle.”

“ Oh, yes. I thought I had seen you before. And you knew mevjght off?”

“ Tbe minute I set eyes on you.” “ How’s everybody down there?”“ All tolerable. You live here?” “ Yes, 1 look after about fifty houses

aud stores hem for a capitalist.”“ Gosh 1 you must got big wages.” “ Oh, a hundred a week.”‘ Y ou do! By gum I but you are

smarter than fox traps! .Mebbe you kin help me to a job?”

“ I think so. Indeed, I was going to make you an offer.”

W e were ou to him from the start as a bunco man, but had no thought o f interfering. “ Hayseed” should take the papers aud keep posted.

“ H ow would you like to couiehere and assist me at a salary o f §200 per month?” queried bunco after a hit.

“ Je whitaker! hut you don’t mean itT

“ I d o l ”“ Give us yer hand on it! Say, I ’ll

work all day and sit up all night for them wages. Say, will ye bind tbe bargain right now ?”

‘T w ill. That is, I ”------ ’“ No flunking out nowl I ’ve got a

hundred dollar bill here, and I ’ll give ye fifty to bind the bargain. Yes, by gosh 1 I ’ll give ye sixty 1”

“ I Was going to say that I ought to see m y employer, first, but I know it will be all right. I w ill take your §60, but only for a day or two, as I happen to be a little short just now. You know where the Palmer, house is, of course?”

“ That all fired big stone tavern?”‘ Yes. M eet m e there one hour from

now to sign a contract and begin work.”

“ I ’ll beriglit thar, and I ’I1 work like a boss. Gin me §40 out o f this bill.”

He handed out a bill, and the young man scarcely glanced at it, so great was his hurry tp get away. I think he mistrusted us, although we pretended not to see or hear anything. W hen he was out o f s ig h t1 ‘Hayseed’’ came over to us with a grin on his face, and queried:

“ How did it act, boys?”“ What?”‘ ‘My - young - man - from-the-turnip-

fields.”“ But you—you”------‘T m from Cincinnati. I do a little

business with the three cards and the shells when home. Thought I ’d see what they were made o f in Chicago.”

“ But you gave him a hundred dollar bill.”

Raston’s E a r ly Ic e Trade*Forty years ago all the Ice known to

commerce was shipped from Boston. The cutting o f this ice was confined to ponds in Massachusetts within a radius o f * twenty miles from Boston, notably Fresh pond, Smith’s pond, Spy pond, Horn pond and Weriham lake!! Fresh pond may be regarded as tbe father o f the trade. Most o f the ice o f commerce now is outside o f Boston, and today Boston is frequently obliged to import ice for home consumption from long distances. Forty yeai*-ago all during the season the four laige ice wharves in Charlestown were crowded with ships o f all sizes loading for the East and W est Indies, south America and the southern ports.

In no one branch o f Boston commerce has there been such a radical change as in the shipping o f ice. Ice furnished ballast as well as paying frieght to all the cotton ships going south for business, and at one time it was a chief recommendation to strange ships in coming to Boston that they could always procure a frieght o f ice at some rate.

G ! ve Children P lenty o f W a te r .F or the reasons given, I advocate

under all conditions a plentiful addition o f water to children’s food. In this connection I would lay stress upon the fact that, as a rule, small children receive water on ly as they get it in their milk or- m ilk food. Alike in summer and in winter, it is probable that the fact seldom occurs to a mother or nurse that a child may be thirsty without being hungry at the same time. Certainly many a discomfort and even sickness in a child is conditioned upon the fact that it has been compelled to eat in order to get its thirst satisfied, and often has to suffer thirst hecause the over , stimulated and injured stomach w ill take no morenourishment at irregular and too short intervals.—Archives o f Pediatrics

PHILOSOPHY OF SNEEZING.

sffoject popular con-tentionl

Although .sneezing is a purely involuntary act, it is possible in some measure to guard against its attacks. In the case o f a fu lly developed cold, the sufferer must necessarily submit to the infliction; but, as to the sneeze casual, it would appear to bave influence only in a listless or weakened condition o f the bodily powers." People seldom sneeze when their faculties are in fu ll tension. Great nervous excitement w ill hardly admit o f the relaxation o f a sneeze. Hence we often find a church, a hall or a theatre filled with an audience ready to indulge on the smallest provocation. They are in the passive and recipient mood. On the other hand, a strong nervous concentration possesses the preacher, lecturer or actor. His faculties are girded up for the feat before him, and lie can at least temporarily defy the draughts that make martyrs o f some o f his hearers.—London Graphic.

Any idea whatever comes as a surprise to the ̂ uneducated Chinese, and it takes him an appreciable time to get such intellectual forces as he has into a position to be used.

X Short Chapter U pon th e Convulsion o f tlie X a sa l Organ.

A witty Frenchman o f the last century based an attack upon the snuff box on the ground that' it was mainly responsible for the decay o f that-ancient form o f politeness, the custom of blessing a person after sneezing. He contended that it was sacrilegious to bless a sneezer w ho had^coerced nature into the performance o f one of her most invigorating functions, and. that-the benison was no longer in any. degree the same thing. W e, however, who know that the dethronement o f the snuff box led to no actual revival o f the benedictory fasMon, may appeal to science to throw light upon one of-the most ancient forms o f innocent superstition.

According to a rabbinical legend, sneezing, as a habit, is- only referable to the time of Jacob. Before patriarchal days no man sneezed more than once; for the sufficient reason- that the shock was invariably fatal. A t Jacob’s intercession this law was abrogated, but on ly on condition that all races o f men should henceforth employ fit words o f congratulation for the sneezer’s happy deliverance. Whatever itsi origin—and it may be doubted i f it ever had a particular or local starting point—the practice.has, without doubt, been derived by the Christian world from the times o f heathenism. Polydore Virgil avers that it took its rise at the time o f the plagne in 558, when the infected fell down dead sneering, though apparently in good health. The Romans certainly made oblations to the genius o f sneezing; but Catullus treats the infliction with gayety, as we find from the lines in Cowley’s translation:

Cupid, tickled a t the sound " Sneezed aloud, and all or&ind

The little-lovers, that waited by,■” Bow’d and bless’d the augury.

. It is clear, however, that the Romans simply followed an established Greek custom. Centuries before, Aristotle had given Iris own account 'of the omen, and was so far refined in his explanations as to tell his readers why sneezing from noon until midnight was good, and from night to noon unlucky. It w ould he fruitless to inquire through what channel the practice came to the Greeks, for traces o f its existence are to be found not only in the widly contrasted civilizations o f antiquity, but even among the barbarous tribes o f every quarter o f the- globe. Before Greece was anation, the sneezer was blessed alike in the “ Dark Continent” and beyond the Ganges; The ineffable Buddha himself once sneezed; whereupon all his priests exclaimed, “ May the welcome one live I” Buddha, however; took them severely to task, and the right to say, “ May jeau live, .sirjt’ t e a Buddhist priest is

W alter Marquisee, o f Berrien Springs, brother o f Miss Nellie Marquisee, teacher in the fourth grade In the village schools in this place, died this morning quite suddenly, o f consumption.

Th e village council at Berrien Springs has: placed the saloon bonds in that place at 85,000 instead o f $3,000, as heretofore. I t is thought that the result will be one instead o f two saloons.

DR. B roderick , of Decatur, Michigan, has moved to this place fo r the practice of medicine onthehomeopathic plan, and is now settled in his new home in Postmaster Graham’s house on Front street.

-------- —Th e United Bretherh society, in

this place, is making great improvements in its; church building, by the addition o f several feet to the front and rear o f the building and increasing its seating capacity. A new bell has also been added.

This vicinity was treated to a heavy tbnnder shower Monday -night that started the grass. During the storm lightning struck in the ridge o f Horace Black’s barn, on Front street, and shattered the roof, doing twenty-five to fifty dollars damage to the building.

The Bainton Brothers are now at work upon the building that is to contain their new engine and boilers,which are soon expected to arrive. The boys keep adding to their facilities and trade in a manner showing that they have a prosperous business. A large warehouse will soon be added.

The Elections.Election day was a great exception

for a town meeting day by being most beautiful, so far as weather goes, and a large vote was polled in this place, 651 ballots being cast.. There was a great amount o f cutting done. The republicans elected their ticket, with the exception o f supervisor and one constable, by good majorities. There were about ninety more republican tickets cast than o f democratic. The prohibition party appears to be growing no larger, rapidly, and in the state generally, appears to be fading out. It will be a new experience for Buchanan to be represented on the board of supervisors by a democrat. The strong fight o f the day was made on that office and was won by eighteen votes, while on the whole the vote shows a gain o f republicans in the township.

The Enterprise is trying to make a great bug-a-boo out o f the imaginary disaffection in the soldier vote. That the soldier question cut no appreciable figure in the election is pretty plainly shown by the vote on the office of treasurer, in which George B. Richards on the Republican ticket, against John Barnes, a soldier on the Demociat, received the largest vote o f any man on the ticket. The soldiers on the Republican ticket were George Hanley, Scott Whitman, aud L. L . Bunker, and those on the Democrat ticket, John Barnes and Eli Helmiclc.

problem to solve in determine how to invest the fifteen dollars fo r library fund. This fund was cut down by the country vote as a sort o f revenge ’ for not getting $2,000 for highway purposes. This comes pretty near, coming under the head o f “cutting off your nose to spite your face,” as about half o f the books taken from the library go outside o f the village to be read, and the library is consequently o f as great or greater benefit to the country as to the village tax payers, A vote was> taken on the proposition to pay a bounty o f ten cents a scalp for woodchucks, but it failed to pass. ‘ Last year there was raised 8100 for decoration day expenses, and $200 for a road machine, expenses not bad this year. The entire amount voted last year was $2730, against $2115 this year. In the poor fund there was paid out during the past year for medical aid, $186.17; funeral expenses, $58.85; food, $237.37 ; fuel, $139.24;* clothing, $20.10; transportation, $17; washing and nursing, $8.25; total, $665.90.

Sim ilarly o f the bund. They have, indeed*. accomplished m arvels— hut Only those w ho w ould have been equally capable and m uch m ore activew ith siuht. I t is carelessly assumed, to r instance, th a t their m usical ability is great. 'W ell, there are (as-nearas can be determined now) som ething ov er "22,- 000 totally blind persons m the U n ited States and about ip,uuo m u reas B ritain ; m a ll these 54,000 how m an y noted musicians are th ere! H o w m an y w ho h ave even a State or provincial reputation! S o v ery few that i f y o u consider how pow erfully th e blind are im pelled towards m usic as a m eans o f livelihood you m u st conclude th a t their average ability is considerably below that o f others. Y e t A m erica has produced one m arvel in this line and England another.

B lind T om is an idiot— the physiology o r psychology o f his achievements m ast forever rem ain a m ystery— b u t Stanley, the English organist, w as a m an o f m arked ability xa m a n y directions. One o f his achievements astonished musical circles a ll over the world, though it is now almost forgotten. A t a public performance o f one o f Handel’S “ T o Dennis"’ th e organ was found to be a half n o te too sharp for the other instruments, whereupon, instead o f requiring that the violin s should b e screwed up to the organ’s pitch, Stanley a t once transposed the whole piece, to suit them , into a lower key. This w as the m ore wonderful as the n ew k ey w as the rem ote one o f C sharp m ajor.

H is fine sense o f voices was equally rem arkable. T o test it , a gentleman, w ho had, not m ot him fo r tw enty years, cam e up to him

in the m idst o f a great throng in P all Stall, and in a feigned voice said, “ H o w do you do, H r . Stanley!” The m usician hesitated an instant an d said, “ W h y , G od bless m e, M r. R ivers, when did you return fro m Jam aica!” T h a t h e could ta p his cane ligh tly on the floor o f a room, an d te ll how m uch furniture there .w as in i t is strange, b u t m an y blind m en have h ad this pow er. A blind porter em ployed in Edinburgh used to adopt this and other like m ethods o f determ ining the furnishings and general condition o f houses to which he was sent w ith packages, and often gave the dealers valuable h ints as to

’ certain people's capacity to p ay .“ A y e , aye, sir;” he w ould sometimes say,

“ ye’l l g e t the siller. T h e fle d d y o f the house is: a n honest led d y ; I ’d p u t m y life on her voice.” Iu a similar w a y the learned Dr. Thom as Blacklock, being le d b y a dog, noted

' the pattering o f th e anim al’s feet on the boards which partia lly covered an. old w ell, and was thus saved from fa llin g into it . This once noted genius w as born at'A n n an , Scotland, in 1721, an d a t the age o f 6 m onths becam e tota lly blind. B y bearing others read he soon becam e a boyish expert in English history. H e w as then tau gh t L atin , an d at the age o f 12 produced creditable verses in that language. H e acquired a classical education, preached m a n y years w ith m arked success, and produced several philosophical and theological works. W e are not,how ever, to conclude th a t ho w ould n o t have dona' equally w ell, or even better, w ith s ig h t

A t this; point i t is w ell to consider a fact often mentioned in the official reports, but still a puzzle to scientists— the great disproportion o f the blind in different countries. T h ey are few er in the U nited States than in an y other country in the w orld, never rising above 1 in 2,400, while in N o v a Scotia th ey are about 1 in 1,SQ0, the sam e in Prince E d w ard’s Islan d ,.! itt960 in Prance, 1 in 2,000 in B avaria, 1 in 1,400 in Sweden and 1 in 550 in N orw ay. I n Great B ritain recent statistics are not available, but the tota lly blind several years ago were about 1 in 1,100. Going southw ard and eastward the ratio increases to a point w hich, to English.speaking people, seems horrible. Including E g y p t and adjacent coasts, the ratio o f the b lin d to th e whole population -in the zone from 20 degsttoSO dega, north latitude is believed to b e 1 in; 100,

while in considerable sections the partially blind are one-fifth o f thei>opulation.

Two: facts are self evident: th e n orth temperate latitudes, say fro m 35 deg. to 55 degrees, are m ost favorable (or is it only because the people ore m ore civilized!), and the British-Am efiean race has the best eyes in the w orld . I n Ireland, how ever, the ratio is nearly three tim es as great as in the U n ited States, an d the local m edical authorities a ttribute i t alm ost entirely to the com parative A m erican exem ption fro m sm allpox. I t should he added that th e “ 1 in 2,5(&” above set down m eans native A m erican s; im m igration has noticeably increased the ratio, though the im m igrant lands w ith apparently goodeye3, fo r , as has been w ell said ,'“ M an y not b o m blind are b o m to: become blind.” - In China alone, on th o other hand, there ore a t least 1,000,000 totally blind, and in Ind ia . about 400,000. The- num ber in the whole w orld1 is thought to fa ll h u t little short o f 3,000,000. —
