equal of any since the days ot Jefferson.
Raised among the people he has seen
and felt their troubles and_ sufferings
eaused by ahigh protective tariff and
an ever increasing standard. His
hearé is fullof sympathy for all. He
willas President know ano sec.ion, no
class, but be the President of the entire
country. Being unmortgaged to the
trusts and other interests which oppress
a great people, he will be free to use
every means at his command to_ place
the entire country upon the the high
road of prosperity, to start. every wheel
of every manufacturing industry from
Maine to Texas, trom North Carolina
t» California, to adjust the currency of
the country to a basis that will make
panics unnecessary and the manufacture
of them impossible ; to give those who
| desire to earn an honest livelihood a
chance, and to give the sons of toil,
whether in the mines, iu the cities, or
under the midday sun of the open
fields, an opportunity once more to
prosper and to live as free men and
Americans. His
after his nomination in declaring that
under no circumstances if seated would
he be a candidate for re-election marks

ORIGINAL OBSERVATIONS.
It is a strange thing that the man
who knows exactly how to run a news-
| paper is always engaged in some other
kind of business.
The old fashioned schoolmaster dif-
fered from lightning, because he struck
several times in one place, if it was
broad enough.
When the girls order slippers two
sizes too small for them, you van make
up your mind that the croquet season
is on its way.

THE MUSTACHE.
How It Became a Symbol of Liberty an
Fraternity.
The mustache, that questionable
adornment of a manTs upper lip, is
trembling in the balance. The fashion-
ible man of the hour who eschews this
time-bonored ornament will tell you
that it is a crying and unnecessary evil,
and is bound to go. And where can one
find a better criterion of such momen-
tous subjects than the fashionable man
ot the hour? In years to come the
grandchildren of a beardless race may
have to turn to their encyclopedias to
find out what a mustache was. Antici-
psting this, says the Cincinnati Enquir-
er, a sort of advance sheet may be found
in the following:
The home of the mustache is in Spain.
After the Moors first invaded the coun-
try the Christian and Moslem popula-
tion became so mixed that it was difli-
cult to say which were Moors and which
were Spaniards.
The Spanish then hit upon a means
by which they could at once distin-
guish their brethren. They did not
shave their lips any longer, and they
allowed a tuft of hair to grow below
the mouth, so that their beards formed
the rude outline of a cross.
Thus the mustache became a symbol
of liberty and fraternity.

Distorting the Sun.
Observations made at the Kharkoff
observatory last year indicate that the
forces which produce the black spots
on the sun may have a wonderful effect
in heaping up the solar surface in the
neighborhood where the spots exist.
Some of the measurements showed that
a line through the center of the sun
from a group of spots to the opposite
side was as much as 200 miles longer
§| than other adjacent diameters of the
sun, This seems to-show that the'sur-
face of the radiant globe is swollen out
at the points where great eruptions oc-

Salling Round the World Alone.
Capt. Joshua Slocum, who sailed
from East Boston nearly a year ago to
circumnavigate the globe in his 40-foot
sloop Spray, has been heard from as
being at Sandy Point, in the Straits of
Magellan, on February 16. His original
intention was to make the trip to the
westward by the way of the Isthmus of
Panama, but finding that it would be
impossible to transport his vessel across
the isthmus, he determined to make the
journey by sailing east. He crossed
the Atlanticyand bad reached Gibraltar,
but hearing ~there that there were pi-
rates in the Red sea, he again turned
westward, and after a tempestuous pas-
sage across the Atlantic, reached Per-
razil, on October 5, which
