A match has been arranged for next fall, ; and in the meantime the , "sluggers" go off to England and Australia to "star" and re- juperate. we are not quoted as a prize-ring authority by "Jimmy MuKoon, "Billy Beef-eater" and other devotees of the "manly art;' but we venture the prediction that when the Aus tralian pugilist tackles "our big fellow" he will meet his "Waterloo." , - ' "According to the census the total number of inmates of juvenile reformatories in 1890 was 14,846, an increase of 30 per cent, in ten years. The greatest increase is among the girls, although they haven't got to smoking cigarettes." In the mncomfortable absence right here of a decent pretext to hit the un fortunate cigarette one more lick,- proof is now in order that chewing-gum the terres trial delight of all girls, from the growing "slip" of ten to the lovely graduate in her teens not only twists the spinal column and gives the eye an ophthalmic squint but brings about moral obliquity as well. "Senator Carlisle, expresses the opinion that any capable man nominated by the Dem ocrats in 1892 will be elected." Whenever the time comes that the great mass of the Democratic party shares this, sound convic tion of Mr. Carlisle w.1 will put in a Demo cratic administration, and, what is more, we'll keep it for more than one term. But we will continue to win barren victories as long as, ignoring the best and strongest man, let him come from what State or section he may, we are content to let the rule of the great party amount to an oligarchy with' all the wisdom, all the authority, all the leadership, all the fitness for office, centered in one North ern State. There is an old saw to the effect that it is rather risky to sell the bear-skin before -ran n. a m m - &iu me Dear; ana, n any importance what ever is to be attached to the action of the Farmers' Alliance all over the country, and to the' views of such leading men as Congressman-elect Alexander, Mr. Hal W. Ater, "Manager Reform Press Bureau," Washington, D.C., who is represented as hav ing sent out a luridly enthusiastic circular a few days ago pledging the Alliance, 4,000,000 strong, to the new party, may soon find that he is in the awkward position of not being able to "deliver the goods."' Mr. Ater is a young man in that callow stage of chronic J saltation over how very much he knows: ome years later he will be able to devote a little time to thinking over how much he don1 1 know. A natural daughter of George IV. of Eng land is now in an alms-house of that great kingdom. "The First Gentleman of Europe" who divided with Beau Brumhell the ap plause of the multitude over the tie of nis cravat and the cut of his coat, and who eould cherish in his weak, bef rilled pigeon-breast no better ambition than to be "Florizel" in my lady's boudoir and a compounder of sauces in the butler's pantry found time, as he wasted he days and nights of his royal life, to do more than one base, heartless thing: prodigal dandy, heartless seducer, cold-blooded bigamist, more of a brute as a husband than "Hodg3," who gives his wife a black eye "in his cups." No wonder Thackeray glows in his honest indignation over the title of "First Gentleman of Europe," applied to this "fribble," this apology of manhood! I The recent death of ex-Gov. Beid simply removed from life an enfeebled old man who, cheered in his last days by the ministratiens of thoughtful and steadfast affection, had long been ready for the. summons of the Master; but the time has been when his going out from among men would have stopped for a time the bustle of busine3s, deeply affected every circle of ; social life,, and draped his State in mourning. - If political leadership is to find its test in the accomplishment of great ends, David S. Keid was a towering leader of men, for it may be said of him that he revo lutionized parties in North Carolina, inflict ing upon the Whigs a disastrous defeat from which they never rallied, and securing for the Democrats a victory the fruits of which they retained up the outbreak of the war, when, accepting the gage of, battle a second time from his formidable antagonist of 1848, he defeated Manly for the Governorship of North Carolina in 1850. He went into this field with the training of years of State and national legislative service, and nothing be fore or since has surpassed -the brilliancy, completeness and audacity of that campaign. He bounded over the ramparts of his formid ably foes with the elan of a Prince Rupert, attacking the grand and strongly-intrenched Whig party everywhere -in its strongholds, and 'extorted from the ranks of his enemies that enthusiastic tribute of admiration which greajt abilities, . reinforced , by conspicuous courage, always command. Except his rep resentation of his people in the last Constitu tionil Convention of the State, Mr. Retd had for Hie past quarter of a century led a life of retirement. - V . - - sikcx otra last isstte. , Latest Hews from" all Farts of the World, Pre pared Especially for the Headers of "The Observer." ,: There is a flax spinning-wheel on exhibition in Salem that is 137 years old.

They hope to capture some Democrats, and are trying to work up enthusiasm regarding tho meeting. The at tendance will be almost entirely from the West, and, it is, claimed, will be large.. More inquiries than ever before made are now being received by the Department of Agricul ture regarding the lands and resources of this State. These are. coming from the Middle and Western States mainly. Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has written to a friend in New York city that she can never Tcturn to the stage, as she is lame for life.

Indeed, the people appear to bo re garded and are treated as enemies whose very presence at any point of the lice would be dangerous.. THE IMPERIAL TRAIN. The Czar always travels io a train of five carriages. His carnage usually, but not always, occupies the centre. This car riage is built in a peculiar style, for the special use of th. Czar. The windows, while ample for light, are high, so that a person sitting down is invisible from the outside, and the sides of the car are forti fied with plates of steel, concealed in the ornamental wood-work, but amply strong to resist a bullet. The appointments of the carriage are magnificent. It is a trav eling palace, and, but for the narrowness of the quarters, the Czar might be as com fortable as at Gotschina. There are two sentry-boxes in the car riage, one at each end, and each looking out at an opposite side from the other. The guardsmen, on duty in thes apart ments are shut in from any observation of the carriage, but at intervals of about two feet, the whole length of the saloon, are electric buttons, communicating with the guard-chambers as well as with the two carriages, one containing the suite and the other, in the rear, occupied by tbe guardsmen not on duty. oo tar, merciore, as me tram itsell i concerned, tho Czar could be no more se cure ra St. Petersburg. It is a traveling fortress well as a palace. The rear car riage of all is naed by the menials, cooks, stewards, etc., in preparing .the imperial food and performing other necessary of fices of the household. The front carriage is devoted to impediments, and two senti nels are always on duty there, one on the inside and the, other on.the front platform adjoining the tender of "the engine. This, it is almost needless to say, is a most unpleas ant post, but the Czar seldom travels in winter. The rear platform of the last car is als-j guarded by a sentinel. THE PILOT TRAIN. The train speeds on to its destination wunoui a nait, except on account or ac cident. At a distance of not less than five miles ahead is a pioneer train, in which the imperial director of railways and the chief engineer of the particular railway on which the Czar is traveling always ride. No excuse for their absence, however vi tal, short of serious illness, would be ac cepted, and it is krown that the present imperial director, Witte, had to precede the Czar to Poland, last aitumn, at a time when Madame Witte was lying at the point of death in St. Petersburg. The Czar apparently goes on the theory that even if the responsible officials might neg lect his safety they would not be. careless of their own. As the pilot train whizzes by, the re serves along the line rush to arms.' and guard the sides of the railway, waiting un til the imperial train has passed, so that the -spectacle is presented of continuous lines of soldiery for hundreds of miles. There is seldom any stoppage at way-stations, but, in case there should be, apartments are re served in every station on the main. lines for the use of members of the imperial family. I lie apartments may never be visited, but they remain sealed against any other use. It was in these apartments, at Cbarkoff, that the Grand Duchess Olga recently died, it is supposed from posion taken on account of her grief for the dis grace of her son, the Grand Duke Mich ael, who had married tho Countess Merem-berg. The C&laoee Zaperor. lllastrated American. On both sides of the hall, from the en trance to the foot of the dais, were ranged numbers of military official of high rank, who stood silent and motionless with av erted eyes. The magnificence of tbeir at tire contrasted stracgolv with the simplic ity of the appearance of the young emper or who rales a fourth of the human race, and whose features had never before been seen by white men. by any others uti the most exalted of his own subjects. The greatest curiosity has been felt in the li plomatie corps at to the appearance of the emperor oo account of the mystery that has surrounded his personality. Indeed, the desire to see what be looked like was, I be lieve, uppermost in the mind of the for eigners, and minimized considerations more purely of state. sWhatever impression the "barbarians" mar have made on him, the idea they car ried away of the Emperor Kuan Ilsoe U pleasing and a,lrifle thetie. lie has an air of exceeding intelligence and gentle ness, but is aorsew'.iht frightened and mel ancholy looking. Hi face ia pal and sad, and, though it possesses an air of refiner ment and quiet dignity, it baa none of the force of bis inartil ancestors nothing commanding or imperial but is altogether mild, delicate and Kind. He is essentially Maneha in features; his skin is strangely pallid in hue, which is no doubt accounted for by the rigidity of hi life inside thoe forbidding wall, the absence of the ordi nary pleasures and pursuit of hi age, and the constant discharge of onerous, compli cated and difficult duties of state, which, it most be remembered, are, according to imperial Chinese etiquette, mostly trans acted between the hours of two and ix in the morning. Hi face is oval-shaped, the chin very long and narrow; the mouth sensitive, with thin, nervous lips; the nose well-shaped and straight; the eyebrow well-marked and arched, while the eyes are unusually large and mournful in expression. His forehead is well-shaped and broad, and his bead is large beyond the average. He seemed anxious, watchful and some what nervous, and was far more overcome Dy the unusual experience than any of the others present. His dress was a long puce colored silken robe, with a large golden dragon embroidered on the breaat. and smaller dragons on the shoulders. He sat cross-legged on the throne, and plated nervously with bis bands while the ordeal lasted. He wore nothing in the way of a crown or other emblem of bis high ofSee, hi head covering being an ordinary Chinese ufSrial hat of felt, surmounted by a buttou of knotted crimson silk.

Great HBitmcfinn nf mronertv and loss of life are reported from the storm in north-west Iowa, GuUhliwafte's M iguziiie.) Dr. II. Carrington Holton', in one of his recent lectures, told of visiting the little island of Kiihau, one of the smallest of the Hawaii in group, and of the pleasant days be spent ther as the guest cf the only white family on the island. This is the family of Mr. George S. Gay, and the entire island has been owned by this family for twenty-five years past. The family includes Mr. ana Mrs. Gay and three or four children. And, except for an occasional guest, they seldom see any white people. The island is a great sheep ranch, embracing abont 70,000 acres, and with a native population of less than 100, all that remain of nearly: 1,000 natives who in 1S32 inhabited the island. Even in this favored spot, where Mr. Gay has done ev erything in his po Ver to preserve the na tives from the evils attendant upon civili zation, they are rapidly dying out, just as in all parts of the little kingdom the native race is dwindling away, and will before many generations probably disap pear entirely. Mr. Gay and his family are very well-to-do people, and they seem to be very hap py in their quiet, isolated home. Mr. Gay is Governor of the little island, attends to the welfare of all his people, and a sort of patriarchal life exists there. The white family receives tribute irom the natives, who give them at stated times a certain amount of labor and some supplies of fish, cocoanuts and sweet potatoes. Of course the children bavo no white comrades to El.y with, bnt they seein to be just as appy as children anywhere are. They make playmates of various animals, which they tame and care'for, and besides they have tbeir ponies and a number of dogs, which afford them a great deal of entertainment. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has quite an in tetcsting article in the Century. Comparing the battles of Waterloo and Gettysburg, the latter was unlike the former in that it was almost purely a fight of infantry and artillery, the cavalry of the two armies being engaged in a separate battle of their own, and, therefore, not to be in cluded in the fighting for?" anymore than Grouchy' French and the Prussians with whom they were engaged CT Wavr can be included in the fighting force of Waterloo. He estimates that there were at ettys bnrg 80,000 to 85,000 Union troops aud about G3.000 Confederates. At N aterloo there were 120,000 soldiers of the allied armies under Wellington and about 72,000 French under Napoleon; or about' 150.000 combatants at Gettysburg and about 190, 000 at Waterloo. In both cases the weak er army made the attack; the odds against Napoleon were greater than those agaiut Lee, but, whereas Napoleon's defeat be came an utter rout, in which hi gun were all captured and hi magnificent army turned into a wild rabble, Lee drew off bis army in good order, hi cannon un captured and the voraU of hi formidable soldiers unshaken. At Gettysburg, Mr. Roosevelt estimates the Confederate loss in killed and wounded at 15,530 and in captur ed 7,047, or 23,000 in all; the French at Waterloo lost nearly 30,000. The Confederates thus lost in killed and wounded atleast 25 per cent, of tbeir force. and yet preserved their organization, while the French suffered a somewhat heavier proportional loss, and were tamed into a fleeing mob. At Gettysburg the Northern army lost 17,555 killed and wounded and 5,435 missing an actually greater ls than the large army of Wellington and BIncher. I Both, say Mr. Roosavelt, were soldiera' battles; both were waged with extraordi nary courage and obstinacy and at a fear ful cost of Lie. Waterloo was settled by a aiogle desperate and exhausting struggle; Gettysburg took longer, was less decisive, and relatively much more bloody. GoUia wake's Maf.tie. Of courr every one has heard of the re markable colony on Pitcairn Iland. the little rock in the Pacific Ocean leas than thre sqr.ar mil in extent, where the routineer of the JJoway took refuge in ITS!) with the women they baJ stolen from the UUnd of Tahiti.

A part of them, however, yearned for Pitcairn, and rrlorned to the little ruek that gave them birth. There are. there fore, now two settlements of the deaeeod- ant of the mutineer, one on Norfolk laland and oo on Pitcairn.

No such thinir as a jail baa ever etiated at Pitcairn Inland. The world seldom bears from this handful of people, living ia the far southern Pacific Ocean, but it U always glad to learn tidiogs or tbeir welfare, and when news doe come it rarely fade to r port the continued prosperity of this re markable settlement.

Ramie is a plant belonging to the nettle family, which from time immemorial ha been cultivated in China and known to botanist by the name Dakwuria nirm, frequently called the tingless nettle. It is also known as. "China grass." It ha long been cultivated also in Japan, in Java, Borneo, Sumatra and in the Eatt Iodie. and daring the present century baa bet n introduced into other countries.

At one place in Victoria, about the beginning of December, the hot scaaon in thoae re gions, the arrival of ao army of locust from the north presented th appearance in the air, it is reported, "a of a soow storm," and tbe ground was covered to the depth of three or four inchc where they alighted. In Adelaide the wind bore them to the sea, and the shore was lined with myria-I that tba periahed. Io maoy placer the vegetation wa destroyed by tbe invaders.
