Boulanger is the French word for baker. 
The adherents of G-eneral Boulanger are 13 in 
number. They are referred to as “the Baker’s 
dozen." 
Mrs. Sawyer, wife of the Wisconsin Sena¬ 
tor, died the other day, and the Senate ad¬ 
journed in her honor. She was afflicted with 
progressive paralysis, which manifested itself 
eight years ago. Only the daily application 
of electricity kept her alive for the last six 
months. 
No news of Stanley has been obtained for 
more than 10 months, and the foreign newspa¬ 
pers are busying themselves with all sorts of 
vague surmises about him. Some think Emin 
Pasha has passed him by; others suppose that 
finding the Pasha all right, he is pushing on to 
Zanzibar. He had 500 men with him. 
Belva Lockwood and Citizen Train are 
ahead in the race for the Presidency. Belva 
will soon start to stump the country. She is 
convinced that the free-whisky plank in the 
platform of the Equable Rights Party will 
obtain for her many votes, while her advocacy 
of free segars will further strengthen her boom. 
Her husband has promised to vote for her. 
Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone 
millionaire, has only just turned his fortieth 
year, and yet his hairand beard are streaked 
with gray. Mr Bell is a Scotchman, and has 
only been in this country since 1872. He was 
very poor when he landed, but is very rich 
now, and his poor relations in Scotland have 
profited by his generosity, Mrs. Bell is a 
deaf-mute, but she understands lip reading so 
well that her husband converses with her the 
same as he would if she were not so afflicted, 
and no one who hears them suspects that she 
cannot speak and hear as other people. 
Speaking of Sir Morell Mackenzie, a writer 
in “Life,” London, remarks that few people 
except the initiated can have any idea of the 
arduousness of the duties which his position at 
the German Court imposes upon him. To all 
intents and purposes, the gifted specialist is a 
prisoner at the palace, for the confidence 
placed in his skill is so great that the Emperor 
and Empress cannot endure the thought of 
his absence from their immediate vicinity; 
and when, in addition to his ceaseless atten¬ 
tion, he is daily subjected to the most veno¬ 
mous and unmerited attacks, it can be easily 
understood how great is the strain, both men¬ 
tal and physical, to which he is exposed. 
A marked feature of the dinner given to 
George W. Childs in Philadelphia in honorof 
his fifty ninth birthday, remarks Harper’s 
Bazar, was the number of Congressmen present 
who had begun their career as printers’ 
“devils.” There was Congressman Amos 
Cummings, who 35 years ago was “devil” in 
the Camptown (New Jersey) Herald and Mess¬ 
enger; Congressmen Farquhar, who 40 years 
ago was "devil” to the printers of the ceutre- 
villo (Michigan) Chronicle; Congressman 
O’Donnell, who was “devil” for the Jackson 
(Michigan) Citizen, of which he is now editor 
and proprietor; Congressman Nichols, of South 
Carolina, who was “devil” for the Raleigh 
(North Carolina) Observer; and Congressman 
Hndd,who was also a “devil in his youth.” 
CATALOGUES, ETC., RECEIVED. 
Wisconsin Experiment Station.— Bulle¬ 
tin No. 14 deals with artificial fertilizers and 
laud plaster. Wisconsin talking about chem¬ 
ical fertilizers! Surely the world moves. We 
are glad that the Station has taken hold of 
this matter, because it is only a question of 
time when Wisconsin farmers will have the 
fertilizer problem thrust upon them whelher 
they want to study it or not. Prof. Babcock, 
who has compiled this bulletin, states that 
numerous inquiries have been received by the 
Station concerning the source, methods of ap¬ 
plication and the different kinds of commer¬ 
cial fertilizers. This bulletin is issued as a 
sort of primmer for those who desire to begin 
the study of these manures. It is a good one. 
Every Wisconsin farmer should study it. 
Connecticut Agriculture.— The 22d 
Annual Report of the Connecticut State Board 
of Agriculture is received from Secretary T. 
S. Gold. If we were asked to name the most 
interesting volumes sent out by agricultural 
associations we should, without hesitation, 
name the Connecticut Reports. The essay¬ 
ists are always given timely and important 
topics which they are sure to treat intelligent¬ 
ly and exhaustively. The present volume we 
consider one of the best of the series. It is so 
good that it is impossible to do it justice in a 
short notice. We can assure every farmer 
who secures it that he will find much enter¬ 
tainment and instruction in its pages.

marks about how our folks feel on the question 
of Woman Suffrage, I had no thought of 
making any particular argument for or against 
the matter. I am only a reporter striving to 
get things just exactly as they are. The Post 
Office Club decides many questions as I would 
rather not see them decided, but that is not my 
business—it is my duty to report things as 
they are. The following letter shows that 
there is still a great chance for an argument 
on this question. This letter is from one of 
the first literary women of the country. 
“I am surprised at Uncle Jacob. What he 
and the Post Office Club say about ‘woman’s 
rights’ is altogether wrong. The Woman’s 
International Council was not a suffrage 
meeting. It was called by the Woman Suf¬ 
frage Association, but all associations com¬ 
posed of women were invited to co-operate. 
Suffrage was only one of the subjects dis¬ 
cussed. Charity, philanthrophy, temperance, 
missionary work, education, social purity, la¬ 
bor, etc., all came in for a share of discussion. 
Please tell Uncle Jacob that the poem he 
read is one tissue of ignorance and error. It 
cannot fail to do harm, because it is calculated 
to deceive. People who read it lose sight of 
the real point. I have traced it to the Chica¬ 
go Mail, and sent a parody to try and contra¬ 
dict it, and correct the error. You may show 
him a copy of the parody, and if he likes to 
show it to the Post Office Club, he may doso.”
