The republican^ in "Congress are in a bad hole, thanks to the in sistency of the Democrats that they shall do something. The nag ging has gong on till now they are demoralized by the demands of a number of thousand republican newspapers that they forthwith place wood pulp and print paper on the free list in order to rescue them fiom the rapacity of the paper trust. There is no doubt that the republican < leaders would comply with the demands in short order if they thought the thing would stop there, but there’s the rub. It would not stop there. It would just begin. Passing the Stevens bill to place wood pulp and print paper on the free list would be special legislation in behalf of a class. The American people are intel ligent enough to see and note that and some inquisitive farmer might be guilty of an impertinence like this:—“How about my plows and hoes, gear and trace chains! You put pai>er on the free list tor the publishers, why net farm machin ery for me!” And thus, the republican ma jority in the House is in this in tolerable fix: “We can and we can’t; We will and we won’t; , We’ll be damned if we do, And we’ll be damued if we don’t.” THE SECRET. In the early morning the earth is ahush, seeming to wait expect antly. The sky in the east grows momently brighter; suddenly it blossoms into the fall rpse of son rise. The birds utter joyous cries, the dewy hedges sparkle, the mountain wears a crown; Nature smiles like a child that wakes and looks into its mother’s eyes. The young married pair in the neigh boring cottage bring their little girl out in the yard that she may see how many buds have opened on the rose bush through the night. They lead her to a corner of the yard where behind a clump of lilacs a hen has been sitting. During the night the eggs have hatched. The father gently lifts the mildly protecting biddy and discloses the white and yellow chicks under her fluffy breast. The child kneels down, and in an «ec staey of awe and delight regards the wonder. She remembers when cold, white eggs were put under the hen, and now these have turn ed into warm living things that one may love and cherish. How did it come about! Mystery of the origin of life, puzzling the child as it has baffled the sages! Will the secret ever be discovered! Now and again a faint “Eureka” comes from the labora tory of the biologist. It is whisper ed with bated breath that the thing has been done. Man has made life. At least, he has succeed ed in making the one cell, which is the unit of life. Now, when this cells dividts, making others, we shall see a living creature. Time passes, and we hear no more of the earthworm which should have evolved from the unit cell. Instead there are new theories—new guess es at the riddle of the ages. We are tola that Haeckel’s proposition of the one cell beginning of life Is all wrong. Life is functional inter action, conditioned by environ ment; life is the result of a cycle of chemical activity. Anything but the breath of God. Thus they grope with the torch of reason after a secret that will never yield itself unless it be to on<£ who reverently seeks it by the light of faith and inspiration.—Mary E. Bryan, in Uncle Remus’s—The Home Magazine for May. YOU PROVE THIS DAILY.

' * Mourning over the luxurious and corrupting habit^ of the Ath enians, Dpmades once suggested to Phocion. “Why do we not persuade the people to adopt the Spartan form of government!’ \ Thereupon Phocion answered, “Yes, indeed, it would become you much, with all those perfumes about you, and that pride of dre-s, to launch out in praise of Lycur gusand Lacedemonian frugality.” So Plutarch tells us. Phocion was one pf the wisest of the Greeks. He saw that the sim ple life and /the luxurious life could not get aloog togfetlier, -and that as long as the representatives of society and government were themselves addicted to. luxurious habits,"it was useless to try to teach the people the virtut of sim ple living. The idea of Phocion was that it made no difference how beautiful the-purpose one proclaims-, if he did uot exemplify the truth in his own life, the preaching made Spartans out of the Athenians, he most forego the perfumes and costly raiment aud be a Spartan himself, The lesson is that a government which is lavish aud keeps up a lux urious public service, as is eviden ced by aristocratic society and champague banquets, spreads a net of corrupting influences before all the people. If we do not want socialism to spread, we have need to listeu to the wprds of Phocion. —Ohio State Journal.

Possessed of thorough ability and energy, coupled with an inherited love for his county and State, he will make aninyaluable servaut to both; and purely our county and State, will need iujthe next Legis lature, men of education, of char acter and of might, who can dis criminate between the mere plausible ar d the true.

Magazine. DIAMONDS HARDER THAN STEEL. The diamond is the hardest mineral in existence, although metal tantalum, used for electric lamp filaments, comes very near it. Although so hard, the diamond is very brittle, so that a sharp blow will often fracture it. But Sir Wil liam Crokes, who has devoted much time during many yeais to the scientific study of diamonds, has shown that if a good one is placed between the steel jaws of a hydraulic press, and the pressure is applied without jerk, so as to avoid fracture due to brittleness, the jaws may be made to meet without the slightest injury to even the edges of the diamond, the hard steel closing around it and taking an impression of the much harder diamond just like so much wax. This experiment, no doubt, in the hands of a skilled scientist would be &11 right, but we would not advise readers to try it on with their diamond rings. —Tid Bits/ AN EASY ONE.

THE BEST CURE FOR COLIC IN HORSES Colic is usually the result of in digestion, caused by sudden changes of feed, too long fasting, food given when the horse is ex hausted, new hay or grain, or large qnaptities-ef green feed. Every horse owner should keep Sloan’s Sure Colic Gure iu his stable as an insurance agaiust colic, for an attack of colic is liable to come on without warning ing at anytime, and Sloan's Sure Colic Cure is the safest and best remedy to use. It acts instantly pn the stomach and bowels and can be given by a woman or a child. , “I cured a horse with colic that had been treated by a good veter inary surgeon for forty-eight hours,” writes Mr. R’ A. Pierce, of Cohutta Springs, Ga. “The hoise was about dead and the owner said he wouldn’t take five cents for him. I gave him three doses of Sloan’s Sure Colic Cure and he w as up and eating hay in ten minutes.” EXCELLENT CONCERT BY SINGING CUSS.

The two thirds rule in the Dem ocratic National Conventions was introduced by a North Carolinian, and is almost as old as the holding cfjnominating conventions. The first Democratic conventions was held in 1^32 in Baltimore, nomi nating Martin Van Buren, for Vice President, Old Hickory, And rewJackson, had already been nominated by the people. In 1835, Judge Eomulus M. Saunders of this State introduced the two-thirds rule to the Demo cratic convention and it was adopted. The customs installed at these earlier conventions which succeeded the tyranny of the caucus chamber have been con tinued and added to from" time to time, and the conventions today are merely the descendants of those that nominated Clay and Van Buren nearly 80 years ago. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. Brooklyn as a city is famous for its churehes and two million pop ulation. Plymouth church made it famous and Henry Ward Beech er made Plymouth church. The “City of Churches” honors, rever ences.the memory the great pulpit orator as it does no other man who has ever lived or living today. Most renowned of Brooklyn churches, Plymouth church stands unique among the churches of the world*- Not like St. Peter’s of Borne, because of its stupendous size; not like the Cathedral of Antwerp, because of its marvelous art; not like the Gothic temples of the old world, because of lines of celestrial beauty, nor like West minister Abbey, because of its sepulchres of illustrious men and women, but because of the domi nating personality, which having swept everything before it, mak ing itself known and felt to the ends of the earth, still envelops it with an imperishable atmosphere. While the manner in which the members of Plymouth church cherish the memory and traditions of Henry Ward Beecher may be said to amount almost to idolatry, it is a noteworthy fact that their present pastor is none the less strong. Prior to 1847, Beecher was the pastor of a small Presbyterian church in the little town of Law renceville, Ind. He was both pas tor and sexton, for a tirffe sweep ing out the church, filling and lighting the lamps, and caring for the building generally. He was | then 24 years old. Soon the little building became too small, the pastor’s fame spread, he was called to Indianapolis, where he minis tered for 8 years to a congregation that overflowed the building. A Brooklyn travelling salesman heard him, brought a glowing account of the young preacher to Brooklyn, he was soon invited, then called to Plymouth chuich. Although dif fering in a great many things with the position and] views held by the deceased, the writer unhesitat ingly commends the man’s quali ties to the youth of today. His life was a remarkable one, the heights he attained, the high est. Away back in the woods he did well the things he had to and his fame went forth. That is the way it is. Don’t conclude there is no chance for advancement in your little circumscribed circle, and relinquish effort, but “hit hard” there, it will resound and if worthy pull you out and carry you just as far as the power of your “licks’* entitle you. Mr. Beecher was 34 when he came to Brooklyn; the city had then but 50,000 population. The preacher had received a call to his father’s old church ftl Boston, but declined it, because he did not desire to build on another’s repu tation. For 40 years he preached here, and made not only Plymouth church, but Brooklyn; famous the world over. A visitor to New York then, inquiring for Beecher’s, was invariably told to “cross the river and follow the crowd.” Brooklyn, nor the country for that matter, has not had since his death, a man who stood out prom inently and continuously as a lead er, towering over others,as he did. The dark shadow that came over the great man’s life in his latter days, bore heavily on him, and while exonerated by his church tribunal, some still questioned his innocence. Yet the veil of charity has covered all and today his memory remains fresh and his works live after him. Your correspondent attends “Beecher church” often, never but he is wrapped in thought the entire time with the history of the past connected with it and the scenes that were enacted within its old walls while the subject of the Civil War was paramount in the minds of the people of this coun try. It was here Lincoln’s policies were outlined; it was 'Plymouth caucussee that directed the gov ernment at Washington; how much Lincoln’s renown is due to the brain of Henry Ward Beecher will never be known. The old building would never be taken for Plymouth church, it is more the build of a warehouse, and the stranger would pass and repass looking for the church expecting an edifice with steeples proportion ed with its fame. Once inside,there is an air of solemnity and power in the very atmosphere. Up to recent ly, the windows were all old style, plain ones with panes of glass. Recently, memorial ones have replaced these and the “cathedral glare” is now there. Dr. Hillis, the successor of Henry Ward Beecher, has also overflow congregations, that attest the magnetis n of his influence and the brill anoe of his discourse. Brilliant as are the sermons of Hillis, they are delivered with a quiet, undemonstrativeness that is becoming the pulpit and yet sin gularly effective. He uses but few notes, and to these she seldom refers. Visitors always ask for ■ Plymouth chuich now as they did I in the life of Mr. Beecher.
