A New York woman who spent the sum mer in a Maine town secured throughout her stiiy the services of a woman as oc casional assistaiit when there was com pany or any extra work of any tort. Tht woman was recommended as a worthj and needy woman, whose husband waf lost at sea last winter. The summer was nearly over when one morning tho helper appeared in deep and tvidently fresh mourning. "Why, Mary," exclaimed her employ er, "have you lost any of your childrenV" "No, mem," replied Mary, "it's for him." "Oh," was the answer, "I didn't know you were in mourning for your hus band." And this was Mary's pathetic and la conic explanation: "When I was, I couldn't, and now I san. I am. mem."

A sample of tie way in which they do things in France was shown recently in the courts of I'aria. M. de Sesmaisons, a former minister plenipotentiary of tho French republic at JIayti, at present re Biding in Paris, was annoyed by pome comments upon his conduct while in America that appeared in the New York Tribune. The article spoke vaguely of his having acquired certain notoriety, and of his being irrepponsible for his actions in tho eye of the law. As the New York Tribune has no property in France, M. de Scsnmisona judged it was useless to proceed against that paper, but ho decided to indict M. Brentano, tho proprietor of the Anglo American library in tho Avenue de 1' Opera, where copies of the offending number were sold. The plaintiff a.sked for oO.OoO francs damages. Without ad mitting bo extravagant a claim, the court condemned the unfortunate news agent to pay 5,000 francs to tho plaintiff, as well as a fine of 100 francs, and to in Bert the terms of the judgment in any 10 newspapers M. de Sesmaison may se lect. San Francisco Argonaut. Kosiutli Weary of Life. Lonis Kossuth, who is now in his ninety-second year, has for some time past been growing increasingly weary of life, and now in every message to his compatriots he expresses the hope that he may soon be relieved of the burden of the flesh. Last week, in writing to a society which had congratulated him on his ninety-first birthday, he said, "It will be a blessing for mo if your congratula tions are the last I receive, as I earnestly hope they will be." Today, again, a private letter is pub lished, in which tho ex-dictator of Hun gary says: "The weight of years bows me down. My old hands indeed do not yet tremble, but my eyesight is dark ened. I see only the outlines of objects, and can read neither manuscript nor printed matter. I write without being able to see the words, and while in this condition 1 have been obliged not through any contract, bnt by a promise, to finish a book." Kossuth here refers to the new volume of his memoirs, which is now in the hands of the printer. Vi enna Dispatch in London Standard. Ingrutitade. President Caruot has been singnlarly ill requitted for a generous action. It will be remembered that in 1889 a man named Perrin fired a revolver at the president, fortunately only with blank cartridge, as the latter was leaving the Elysee to proceed to Versailles on the occasion of the centenary of the opening of the famous states general. Perrin was arrested, tried for his offense and sentenced to four month's imprisonment. As he was tho father of a large family, M. Caruot took pity on him and imme diately on his release pave liim an ap pointment in the octroi, or towu dues service, of Crepy-en-Yalois. Recently it was discovered that Per rin's accounts were irregularly kept, and it turned out on inspection that he has for a long time past been misappropri ating public money and making false en tries in the books to conceal the fact. The judge of the assize court of the de partment of the Oise has sentenced him to the maximum penalty two years' im prisonment. Paris Correspondent.

The prfsident i:iviu a will known Sorialibt to come and explain his views before the inem! rs of the club; he invites, al.-o, an anti-Socialist of talent t answer hiin. The Nineteenth Century club opens its doors to all new idead aniious to pierce through to the li;rht. One evening was devoted to the dis cussion of fseetarianLiiii. The president of tho club invited a Catholic prient, an Episcopalian and a Pn-sbyteriaii minis ter, a Unitarian and, unless my memory misleads me, an Agnortic. Another night, the subject chosen was "The Triumph of Democracy." The first orator, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Bet forth that everything is for the best in that best of democracies, the American ono. The second, on the contrary, brought forward much eloquence and many figures to prove that the govern mental system of America is worthless and rotten. All theso debates are en livened with humorous remarks, anecdotes, Hashes of wit, and clever repartees. Needless to pay that they are conducted with the utmost courtesy. Tho most trenchant weapons employed at theso tournaments are sarcasm and banter, and the Americans are adept in tho use of boih. As soon as t ho debates are over, the audience repairs to an adjoining room for refreshments and to criticise tho opin ions advanced during the evening. The meeting turns into a conversazione, or a reception, at which the president's wife docs tho honors. I saw nothing more striking during my stay in America, nothing which ap peared to me more hopeful for tho future of tho country, than the sight of these crowds of four or tivo hundred people, men old and young, young girls and matrons, all in fashionable evening dress, met together to learn something and to keep themselves posted. I have heard young ladies read papers of their own comjiositioii at these meetings, and their discourses wero as clever as those of their gentlemen antagonists. In New York alone there exist many other societies of the same kind. Among others, I might name the Twilight club. Impossible that Truth should hide her face in a country where there is such a flood of light. XXXIII-THE CLIMATE. It Incite Jonathan to Lose Slslit of Your Activity Do Not Nose in Winter. Great Contrasts. It is to the bright, bracing climate of North America that the activity of Jona than is mainly to be attributed. The cold in winter is excessive, but you do not suffer from it; for my part, I ecarcelv noticed it. It makes one feed full of life. The air is charged with ozone and electricity. Stimulants are not needed, and few Americans drink anything but water at meal time on ordinary occasions. A bot tle of wine goes to tho head sooner in America than half a dozen would in England or the north of France. Drunkenness is not a national vice in America. On the contrary, it is rare even among the lower classes, and does not exist in the higher. "When a drunkard is picked up from the gutter, the passer by says: "It is a European just come over." I have often admired the sobriety of tho Americans at great dinners, which are sometimes prolonged to the midnight hour. After di ssert, no more wine. The foreigner who visits America dur ing the winter only suffers from the suf focating heat of the rooms. With fur wraps and the ears well covered he has nothing to fear, unless it be his nose, which I would advise him to keep an eye upon. It is the sit me in Canada nothing but ocn sleighs. The driver buries you in furs. The frequent and very sudden changes of temperature in winter, and the great difference between the temperature of the houses and that of the outer air, is very trying to the foreigner. An American, to whom I was com plaining of this one day, and who would not stand anything like criticism of his country, said: "My dear sir, those changes are very healthful. They stir the blood, quicken circulation, and are as good as a Turkish bath." XXXIV JONATHAN'S ECCENTRICITIES Everybody AVill Know Tlicm They Are OlkheU l'j in a Most Attractive t'ashiou. Jonathan measures everything by his own gigantic ell. The result is "that America is the home of all forms of ec centricities, of all forms of daring. Jonathan considers that everything is to be had. it is hut a question of will and money. How miichi' So much Done. Parisians remember very well the American miliionai.v who. on the occa sion of his daughter's marriage, wrote to the town council of Paris to ak lor the loan of the Arc de Triomphe, which he was anxious to decorate in honor o: the wedding. He was politely informed that the Arch was not to let. "Tnen I will buy it," he replied. "Name your price.' A Bostonion once conceived tho idea of entertaining his friends with the per formance of an oratorio. His drawing room being much too small to hold the party he wished to invite, he set about luring the cathedral of the place. Such things as these make U3 Euro peans smile, and we say: "Those Yankees are crazy." Certain v they are a little bit touched. In America the most preposterous ideas find partisans and subscribers. Thus, I saw in one of the most widely read American newspapers the announce ment of a company recently founded, with a capital of SoOO.OOO, called: "Matrimonial Iniidclit v Insurance com pany." Each sufferer, upon presenting proofs, la to receive from the company a check as a sort of court plaster to patch up his lacerated feelings. I would not advise you. to put a cent into the concern. I have no confidence in tho dividends of an enterprise which might have some day to pay a fabulous sum to a Mormon whose twenty or thirty wives had taken it into their heads to desejt in a batch. As a pppcireum of small and harmij coeatnoitu I extra the fjUuu:g from an Amrirun riewipater: "Mrs. Margaret It,, of New York, hai her leg amputated tin? other day, and in feiited upo i ita Laving a Christian buriiJ it !. r fain Jy lot in Calvary cemetery.

Hie Ami ricani of today are so blase an the mat .er of advertisements that it is di-licult to attract their attention with- ! out getutig up extravagant baits for their eyes. Tho mot effective bait Is the illus trated advertisement. Here, for in stance, is tae "Capiiiine," which makes tho hair nnd whiskers grow as if ty magic. You have to bo so careful in handling the stuil tliat if a drop should fall, oay, on your nose, a tuft of hair would sdm' t immediately grow thereon. I culled tho following advertisement from one of the New York papers: "As CoLixtToit ott Salesman. Slim, sleek, slender, sharp, shrewd, sensible, sarcastic Yan':, seeks a situation intoine store (notice the attractive whizzing of the s's), hotel or ofiiee, as Collector or salesman; h;.s highest references, and push and c ieek of an army mule; can sell goods or collect bills with any man on tho continent of North America (Ducks county, I'a., included)." On a hairdresser's shop I read: "Ton sorial palace l'rofessor llogers has your hair cut under his own supervision. How is it cat? As you Like it (Sliakes peare)." President Cleveland, wishing one day to see a ct rtain circus performance, sent to retain a box. Tho circus proprietor immediately hired, and sent about tho streets of the town, a small army of sandwich men, carrying an advertise ment wordi-d as follows: "Tho president of the United States with his young and lieautiful wife will honor the circus with their presence this evening." There was such a demand for seats that numbers of people were refused; but Mr. mid Mrs. Cleveland, having heard that their names had served as an advertisement, did not appear. Many a 1 rielless man of the law sends his card around to the occupants of tho various prisons. As an improvement upon this, I would suggest and I do not doubt it has already lieen done: "Mr. X., advocate, presents hi.s com pliments to the gentlemen of the light linger, and hopes to bo honored with their conliuence. No fees unless the case ia won. Mr. X. is eloquent, persuasive, tender, pathetic, impulsive, violent, just as the case may demand. He can dis concert witnesses and touch the jury. Many great criminals owe him their lib erty and even their lives." In the smoking room of the Germanic ono day an American, who sat near me, said: "I believe you are going to America to lecture, sir:" . "Yes," I replied, "I am." ""Who is booming your show, may I ask?" he said Lu the most natural way in tho world. Upon getting thi3 Americanism ex plained I had the satisfaction of finding that my interlocutor's question biinply meant in English: "Who is your impre sario?" The greatest "boomer" in America is the gnat, the only, the unique Darn urn. Mr. riunea3 T. Darnuni, pursued by fate, is every live years the victim of a conflagration. His lires happen with terrible regularity. While 1 was in America his timers and elephants were burned out of house and home. Scarcely had the (lames been extinguished when there were paragraphs in the papers to say that Mr. Ha mum's agent was buying fresh animals for the "bi.irgest show on earth," and all over tho walls of Ameri ca's cities were to be seen flaring posters representing rhineas Darnum rising from the flames like a modern phoenix. Mr. Darnum holds in small -steem the man who lets slip a chance of making money. He would think it quite natural to offer $2,000 a week to den. Doulanger to show himself in his museum, and would think it very unnatural that the general should refuse such a handsome offer. One day Mr. Darnum took it into his head to make an offer for the house in which Shakespeare was born. The Eng lish ii red up at the idea, and he had to abandon his project and be satisfied with Jumbo. If every European nation were to be come a republic, the dethroned men archs could go and make their fortunes in America, and the greatest ambition of Mr. Darnum would bo realized. My impresario had just engaged me for a lecture season in the States and Canada. "I shall have two Europeans on my list next year," ho said, "Mr. Charles Dickens and yourself. I wanted two others, but they are not to be liad." "That is not very flattering," 6aid I, "but who are the two Europeans you cannot get?" "Mr. Gladstone and Lord Randolph Churchill," he replied quite calmly. Then he added with a 6igh: "Yes, Gladstone would have made a lump, and Churchill would have been an elegant success."

FI.OriJfc.-S PAKTV I'UATIOKM. A t r 1 "i Uih rofrrf ol I.a baring I'roplr, J at , IhVi. Assembled upon the one hundred and sixteenth annivf rsarv of th declaration of independent--, the I'eoidf't party of Anu-riea, in their lirs't national con vt ntion, invoking upon their action th bitting of Almiirhtr tiod, put forth iu the name ajid on b?half of the people f this country, the following pre amble and declaration of principle?-: The conditions which surrouud us best justify our co-operation. We meet in the midst of a nation brought to th? verge of moral, political and material ruin. Conuption dominates the ballot box, the legislatures, the co)ngrt ss, and touches even the Mr mine of the bench. The people are demorlized. Most of the 6tate have been compelled to isolate the voters at the polling places to prevent uni versal intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are largely subsidized or muziteled, public opinion sileneed business prostrated, our homes covered with mortgages, labor im poverished, and the land concent rat ing in the hands of the capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organization for self-protection: imported pauperized labor beats down their wages; a hireling standing army, unrecognized by our laws, is established to shoot them down, ami they are rapidly degener ating into'Europeau conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are bodly stolen to build up collossal fortunes for a lew, unprecedented in the history of mankind, and the possessors of these, iu turn, despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific mode of gov ernmental injustice we breed the two great classes tramps aud mil lionaires The national power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders. A vast public debt payable iu legal tender currency has been funded into gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. THE OLD PARTIES AKKAKiXEI. Silver which has been accepted as coin since the dawn of history, lias betn demonetized to add to the purchasing power of gold by de creasing the value of all forms of property, as well as human labor, and the supply of currency is pur posely abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterprises and enslave industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind has been organized on two continents and is rapidly taking pos session of the world. If not met and overthorwn at once it forebodes ter rible social convulsions, the destruc tion of civilization, or the establish ment ot an absolute despotism. We have witnessed lor more than a century the struggles of the two great political parties for power and plunder, while grievious wrongs have been inflicted upon the suffer ing people. We charge that the controlling influences dominating both these parties have permitted the exising dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or retrain them. Neither do they now promise ,us any substantial reform. They have agreed together to ignor in the coming campaign every issue but one. They propose to drown the outcries of plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff', so that capi talists, corporations, national banks, ring, trust, watered stock, the de monetization af silver and the op pressions of the usurers may all be lost sight of. Tuey propose to sac rifice our homes, wives and children on the alter of Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order to secure cor ruption funds from the millen aries. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday tf the nation, and tilled with the spirit of the grand genera tion who established our independ ence, we seek to restore the govern ment of the republic to the hands of ''the plain people," with which class it originated. THE WAR IS OVER. We assert our purposes to be identical with the purposes of the national constitution "To form a more perfect union, establish justice, iusur domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity." We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the love of the whole people for each other and for the nation: that it cannot be pinned together by bay onets; that the civil war is over, and that every passion and resentment which grew out of it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brother hood of freemen. Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there is no precedent in the history of the world our annual agricultural pro ductions amount to billions of dol lars in value, which must within a few weeks or months be exchanged for billions of dollars of commodities consumed in their production; the existing currency supply is wholly inadequate to make this exchange; the results are falling prices, the formation of combines and rings and the impoverishment of the pro ducing classes. We pledge ourselves that if giyen power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reas onable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform. We believe that the power of gov ernmentin other words, of the peo ple should be expanded (as in the ease the postal service) as rapidly as far as the trood sense of an intelli gent people and the teachings of ex perience shall justify, to the end that oppression, injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in the land. THREEFOLD DECLARATION. While our sympathies as a nartv of reform are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelligent, vir tuous and temperate, we neverthe less regard these Questions inmor- tant as they are, as secondary to the great issue now pressing tor solution. and upon which not only our indi vidual prosperity but the verv pt. istenee of tree institutions depend, and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to administer hpfnr wo differ as to the conditions upon which 11 is 10 De administered, believing that the forces of reform this day organized wiu never cease to move forward until every remdisd and eeai rights and equal demleges se curely established for all the men and women of the country.

We believe that the time has! come when the railroad corporations will either own the people or the people must own them, and should : the government enter ui-on the work : of owning and managing any and all railroads we ohould favor au amend ment to le constitution by which all persons engaged in the govern ment service shall be laced under a civil service regulation of the most rigid character, so as to prevent the increase of the power of national administration by the use of uch additional government employes.
