exclaimed Cleveland as he signed the commission of Mr. Blount. The Kansas City Journal denies that Missouri has cranks. It says the long haired fellows of that Btate have not sense enough to he cranks. The Jour nal's apology 19 satisfactory.

Tub Kansas City Star objects to the appointment of the Duke of Yeragua as Spanish minister at Wasliiusrton. After that of course Spain will not be rude Dough to try to force him upon us. Now that Uuskin has been ap pointed Ket laureate. It will be in order for pome one to arise and declare tutt he ha3 found his mind, something that short time ago he was supposed to nave lost, Mr. I)i NsMoitK says he does not want an office at tbe hands' of the present ad ministration.

As he is not likely to get one, the administration and Mr. Duns more will probably yet along very well together. A tocxg man of Kansas City went to Oregon to marry a young lady by the name of Wisdom. If all young Missouri men would seek wisdom as successfully, that state would not be going democrat ic so.persistently. Kansas shows, on the agricultural report, the lowest percentage in the condition of wheat.

It is believed by many that Kansas is getting ready to spring another surprise on the country in the matter of her wheat yield. It is thought that the appearance of Queen Victoria yesterday will be the last time she will come before the public. Well, the old girl isn't handsome enough to make it desirable for her to go on dress parade very often. Mr. Cakter has been re-elected chair-, man of the National committee.

The National committee is magnanimous. It is willing to jeopardize the interests of the party in order to give Mr. Carter a chance to vindicate himself. It was a wise 'hing for the pop commissioners of Kansas to inscribe their names upon the portals of the fair build ing. Were it not that they are engraved there, no one would know in a year from now that such men ever existed.

Mr. Waxamaker said when in Kansas City the other day that a young man who remained in the east was foolioh. Aa Mr. Wanamaker looked across into Kansas he could not help observing that even lunatics stood a good show for political preferment out here. Tnsbody of one escaped convict from Sing Sing was found on the bank of the river.

This is too bad. The officers ought to be allowed to murder these condemned men by the new process, and thus prove to the world the "humanity" of the new way of killing people. Misister Stetess appeared to be do ing too much to advance the interests of the United States, so he is pulled down, as was the flag he raised, and the man who hauled down the stars and stripes is put in his place. Thus is fidelity to foreign interests rewarded by the present administration. The German Emperor says if the reichstag which is to be elected in June throws bis military bill overboard as the one just adjourned did, he will take the matter in his own hands.

And about the time he does that the opposition will take bim in its hands, and the very fresh emperor will wish he had died before his father did. M. Senn, one of the pop lights of the asks pathetically in this week's Alliance Advocate, "Whither are we Drifting?" It may be that appearances are deceitful, but it looks as though a great number of you are drifting toward the lunatic asylums, a few to the penitentiary and the remainder toward the democratic party. A district court judge has said that the law passed last winter in reference to the redemption of lands on foreclosure does not apply to existing contracts. Of coarse this decision is ajl right, but then In parts of central Asia bricks are baked in cylindrical ovens about three days and then burned in an atmosphere of steam, which is produced by closing the heated ovens with covers of wet felt.

The bricks are turned by the steam from red to dark gray, acquire gTeat hardness and become sonorous. They are said to resist weathering better than fire-burnt bricks. Under the head, "Treasonable Little Wales," the Pall Mall Gazette reports that at a smoking concert at Aberstwitb. university recently, "God Save the Queen" was shouted down by the students, who "prefer to sing some jargon of their own about leeks and freedom." But whatever the significance or sense in such a display, it is not of infrequent occurrence in democratic Great Britain. The population of Ireland in 1891, according to revised returns recently issued, was The natural increase of population, or excess of births over deaths, for the year was 22,117, and the loss by emigration was marriages were registered within the year, and it is significant of the religious feeling which exists in all parts of Ireland that only 300 were by civil contract in the registrars' offices.

The new London shower bouquet is like its long-time predecessor of the same name except in the matter of its facilities for holding. It is flat, with no stems of the flowers showing, and made with an opening at tbe back through which the hand is passed. In this way a much less protruding effect is obtained.while the graceful pendants trailing from the central cluster give the arrangement all its former beauty and effect. Explorat ion is improving the popular knovledge of the Sahara. Instead of being largely below the sea, the greater part of if is from six to eight thousand feet above the level; instead of being rainless, showers make it bloom and cover it with green grass for a few weeks every year; large flocks and herds are maintained upon its borders; the oases are depressions where the water can be collected and stored and are villainously unhealthy in hot weather because of this stagnant water and the filthy habits of the inhabitants.

That Paris is favored as a medical center is evidenced in the statistics of last year, showing the Faculte de Paris to have had 9,215 students in attendance, as compared with 6,220 at Vienna and 5,527 at Berlin; and of those at Paris more than three-fifths were of foreign birth. The foreign student or practitioner going to Paris to supplement or complete his studies generally seeks some specialty, either of medicine, surgery, accouchement orjsome department of laboratory work. The whole resources of the Faculte de Paris, th hospitals and the numerous laboratories, and Those of the Sor-bonne, the museum and the college of France, are open to him free of any and all charges, even for material consumed. Some Australians do not at all like the idea of a cable under the Pacific touching any other than British territory. The first link of a trans-Pacific cable designed to land in the United States is now under way in a line to conueet New South Wales with New Caledonia, a French penal settlement to the eastward, and the governments of New South Wales and Queensland have contributed toward its cost.

The Melbourne chamber of commerce met recently and "denounced the unpatriotic of these two sister colonies in making this contribution, and strongly urged other colonies to join in supporting the construction of a cable eastward touching only British territory, with land lines across British Columbia and Canada. AN ANCIENT GAME. It was Played by the Chinese in the Sixth Century. Among the great Chinese games which have continued popular -with the inhabitants of the celestial empire for thousands of years is the game of "Wei chi," which undoubtedly has for a long period of time more or less eclipsed numerous others. This game is considered by the Chinese much superior to their chess, which is but slightly different from ours, and is notably the syecial game of the literary class, while military men, as a rule, indulge in chess.

Wei-chi possesses interesting features, and requires great skill in playing. It has for us the merit of ab solute novelty, because it differs essen tially from those with which we are familiar. Unlike chess or draughts, the men are never taken, but remain where they are played. The game is not a series of skillful evolutions, but a successive occupation of points which, joined together, give a nnal winning position. Though the game is on a very extensive scale the boord containing three hundred and sixty-one places, and the men employed being nearly two hundred a side still it is very simple in principle, all the men having the same value and the same powers.

To achieve the object of the game on such an extensive board requires great fore sight and profound calculation. This object is to occupy as much space on the board as possible. He who at the end of the game commands most places has won. This1 can be carried out in two ways by inclosing empty spaces on the board with a certain number oi one men, and by surrounding and capturing the enemy's men. This ancient game was first mentioned in Chinese writings about B.

C. 625, and was probably de rived from the Babylonian astronomers, who were about that period the teach ers of the Ea6t. Chinese emperors have been exceedingly fond of the game. thoutrh it subjeots them to the necessity Of forgetting their rank, those who play with them having to sit in their presence. It is recorded of an emperor of the fourth century that on one occa sion he made an irregular move.

The courtier who was playing with him held the monarch's finger, and, it is recorded, the emperor was not in the least offended-. This incident was considered of sufficient importance to be solemnly recorded in history. Chicago Journal.

The Kansas Citv Journal complains that Cleveland refers to everything in this country as "mine" except the flag. Mr. Cleveland lays no claim to that, and the Journal is ton captious about it.

Cleveland resigned all his claim to that emblem when he sent the ones he owned back to the southern confederacy. He does not even have a rebel flag any more. Lookout, the great son of a great sire, won the Kentucky Derby yesterday, leaving his competitors so far behind that he almost walked under the wire at the close. Each year the horses grow better, and it will not be many years until the speed now attained by the most fleet footed will seem a slow pace when compared to that at which the sons of those who are now on the track are going. There is scarcely a limit to the speed of tunners and trotters, and those who think the maximum has been reached will liye to see their mistake.

Remarks bt Sol. Miller: Sending poetry by telegraph is not altogether a success. W. A. CrofTut's poem at the opening of the Chicago Fair was Bent by telegraph, and a number of papers made him speak, in the first line, of the "nas cent moon.

as we nave never seen a nascent moon, not haying been born early enough in the ages that is to say, back among the jeweled eons, about the time when Eugene Ware was spooning around the Princess Karmyl we could not understanu what it was. liut now we discover that what he did say was "crescent moon." The news comes from Washington that the new Governor of Oklahoma took the oath of office yesterday amid the thunder of voices aud the discordant shouts of democrats. At the same time the bring from Washington the cold news that President Cleveland has not yet signed the commission of the would-be governor, and has made one of his characteristic tie ups so that he may investigate the character and standing of the Mr. Renfro who wants to be governor. It is in order now for Mr.

Renfrew, under the principles of democracy, to ask Mr. Cleveland to attend to his own business, and let the governors of independent territories do the same. A somfir what amused public will await with some interest the outcome of this rather remarkable cai-e. The grand ball to be given in honor of the infanta Eulalie, is to be the greatest event of snobdom. There will be more turned up pantaloons and more turned down dresses than has been seen at any event of the kind since Ward McAlister assumed the scepter, and there will be more jewels and less brains ihan ever before came together in one place.

The distinguished guest, to whom all this honor is to be paid, will not even sit at the table with her entertainers, but must have a private room in which no one of the people who pay the bills will be allowed to enter, in fact no one will be al lowed there unless he or she chances to have "royal blood," whatever that may be, in bis or her veins. Of course Amer ica may not banish idiocy by legislation, but it is nearly time to begin to re strict it. Switched OtT by a Iturrn. A peculiar accident happened the other day ou the Bakersfield and San Miguel railroad at Aspiiaito. lhe tram was made up aud ready to start for Bakers-field, when a young burro was seen rub bing himself on the switch.

When tho train started, the shriek of the locomotive whistle frightened him, and he jumped with such force against the switch aa to throw it open just as the train arrived. As a result the locomotive and four of the cars were ditched. Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. A Long Distance Sneeze.

Jlenjrer Agent, Lawrence, Khiihuh COUNTRY NEWS. KO 6. Miss OUie Deming spent several months teaching a school out near Sigel but is home now. News boys, scattering the daily papers of Lawrence and Kansas City, come out this way every evening and give us the latest news. Their woik takes them out into the evening.

N. P. Deming was in southern Kansas last week to see the extent of the frosts and the condition of the fruit down there to report to the fruit growers on tub 20lb. There will be a photograph taking at the home of Mrs. Mary Savage on Satur day, the 20th, of all the pioneer fruit growers of Douglas county.

Over hundred invitations have been sent out and responses to over half of them haye been received at headquarters. Prof. French, from Lawrence, an old photog rapher, will be present with his instru ments and group all in a single body. They will be taken in the grove east of the mansion, between some trees set out bv the late Joe Savage when he first commenced the experiments of tree set ting. Any one knowing themselves to be in any way identified with fruit growing of the long years that are past is inyited.

RIVERSIDE. Among the arrivals last week was the long lost Hugh Cameron, who was cer tain to have been loBt to eyerybody. He left here six month9 ago with only a grip containing documents of various kinds which to him more than any one else were useful and then he disappeared from sight. The general impression then pre vailed and has up to hiB arriyal, that he had been shipwrecked on the Kaw or run oyer by some of the Santa Fe trains, as he always took this track when on the road to Lawrence. As Mr.

C. is a man that does tell all he knows at one time, it is not known where he has been. How eyer his Riverside friends will give him a reception about the fifteenth and in his speech of welcome wewillkaow more about that than we do now. As we said he left with one grip sack, but returns with two well loaded. One contains his luiuy poems which he reads when ad drebeing a public audience to complete and round his sentences, the other sack has his many printed documents and public speeches mostly bearing on the labor fiuestion.

Coming back at this season of the year his time will be de vided between his North Lawrence rauch and his up river farm of eighty acres, where no planting of any note has been done up to the present date. In looking over his Norlh Lawrence lauded estate things have gone ways aud somewhat different from his way of doing things. KANWAKA. Kanwaka schools will all close this week for the spring term, most of them taving fashionable exhibitions of of youthful talent. Planting corn is nearly all oyer for this season.

Those who have planted were a little fearful of the results of cold weather. The Douglas County Sunday School association will have an institute at the Congregational church in the near future. Fruit is not so bad off as was expected a month ago. Early fruit is behind while late fruit is more than the average. Prof.

Stephens gave a temperance lec ture before the Kanwalka temperance league, one night last week. Kanwaka township is to be congratulated as being the only township having a temperance league whose object is temperance and its promotion. HESTER. Henry Pall has purchased the Shubel Kersey farm. Harvey Stanley will soon make an ex-.

tended visit in Dakota. Mr. Kohler is yery sick. Two physi cians are in attendance. Tbe continued cold rains have caused a delay of corn planting, and much of the early planting has rotted in the ground.

Last week B. Thomas shipped a car of the fattest cattle to Kansas City, that have been sent from Eudora this year. He also shipped a car load of fat hogs. Mis.Newton Henshaw started Tuesday for Danville, to visit her daughter. Mrs.

Allison. She will return by way of Chicago in June, and take in the fair. The lecture by Prof A. M. Wilcox last Friday evening at the Academy was highly entertaining and instructive.

With his sterescopic views of Greece and the city of Athens, he pictured the life and habits of the people bo vividly that alf who heard him felt they had enjoyed a pleasant journey without sea sickness or expense. Next Friday Mr. Zahniser will close a successful term of school, with a picnic dinner and literary exercises by his pupils. This has been Mr. Zahniser's first experience as a teacher, but during the eight months he has been at HesDer he has won many friends and has the es- Jteem of all who know him.

Lost Sunday the Sunday School Union held a meeting at Hesper Academy. Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Alexander of Lawrence cssisted in the irood work and made S' me entertaining talks before the meeting. Owing to the bad weather many were kept away whe were to have taken part The Hespei Academy commencement exercises will be held Friday evening Blay 19th.

There are five graduates, three girls and two boys, who will deliver their orations accompanied by good music. Prof. Reynolds and assistant, Mrs. Lewis, have done excellent work for the past two years, and deserve a higher salary for their future work.

Rosalie Vandewater in Hamilton Spectator. Mrs. Frank's Mistake. As Mrs. Frank, surrounded by her household goods, sat on the sidewalk in front of the house from which she had been evicted for nonpayment of rent, 6he remarked plaintively that had she "preached less and attended to household duties more" she would not be in her present fix, or, in other words, "this is the result of too much Christianity." She should have said passive and false Christianity, for it has passed into a proverb that "God helps those who help themselves." Mrs.

Weller, the elJer. saw her mistake a little too late, though 6he was brave enough to confess to the redoubtable Tony that running after the red nosed Preacher Stiggins was a neglect of the marriage contract. The sort of Christianity that drives a man away from home, breaks up a i'y and leads to shiftlessness is not the Christianity expounded in the able epistles of St. Paul. Opposed to the turbulent experience of Mr.

and Mrs. Frank was the life of Mr, and Mrs. Opp, who, after 87 years of married life, died on the same da'. This is one of the pretty stories that sometimes creep into print, illustrating a happy exit that every young couple would pray for New York World. Fine Quarters For Christian Young Men.

La Salle clubhouse walls, burdened with the tales of gay life, will soon echo gospel and exhortations.
