The prices of cattle at present don't please him much, but the prices of feed compel him to sell. He says that corn can not be bad in Howell. The last sold there was 61 cents per bushel, and at such rates beef cattle soon eat their wDrtb. Is it possible that wheat and corn will meet in price? Fmgers fiy at the new school building and the work is speeding on. The good weather for laying brick of late is especially acceptable. In the place of Charles Grant who recently left a son of the contractor Glanfield has been at work since Tuesday and he is a flyer. The sjcond-story walls are climbing up and only a little more fine wpathur yjil sew them complete. Early Monday evening the residence of Barney McClnskey, one and onehalf miles east of Pinckney, was discovered to be on fire. All the folks were away, some at this village and others at E. P. Campbell's noar by,and the building and content** were entirely consumed. The fire is supposed to have ttken from the chimney. It was one of the oldest buildinos in the vicinity and oa house and furniture $400 insurance was carried.

Alter assisting the lady from the wagon be tnrneu to climb in and drive home, when the horse jumped and was dff like the wind, jerking Bea down, drawing the wagon over bias and then dragging him several rods by the lines. His grip on the linea gave way and the boras made the circuit of several streets before stop* ping, seriously disfiguring the vehicle. No injuries to horse or man. Grant. Dunning met with quite a fall Monday last. He was sawing off the smngles at the ridge of the new building which is being erected by the Dunning brothers; the roof being wet and slippery trom the recent storm, be lost his footing and sliding to the eaves fell thence a distance of about fourteen feet striking upon the frozen ground. He was assisted to W. B. HofTt store, and after a few hours rest was again at work about the building. Porta* natety no bones were broken, and, aside from a little lameness, he does not seem much the worse tor bis ssvereahakimg up. In nine cases out ot tea the coa> sequences of such a fall would have been far more serious,—-Oesh City Cashier. Merchants, mechanics, manufacturers, all branches of trade are organised for mutual good. Is there any Bat% who will presume to tell why uuineve of so many localities are comparatively isolated from each other? The farm* ers and stock growers of the vwiaity of Pinckney are of the intelligent class, most of them successful;yet each is periectly willing to enjoy what knowledge he has alone, neither giving to nor receiving from his neigh* bors. The beet is never arrived at in such way. Farmers are joat as much -' in need of and entitled to orgaaia* ation as are any other classes. Aaj hour together each week, for discussant of every day topics, would be worth hundreds of dollars to many of these* Farmers, why don't you organize a club m Pinckney and meet at the town hall every Saturday attemoom for conference ? Talk about i t One ot the most horrible deaths im» aginable occurred at Webberville last week Wednesday night It is the sx-ond of its kind in Ingham county in the last two years, the other being; at Leslie in November, 1885. Report from Webberville says that Newell Tyl^r. while intoxicated attacked a band^ot boys who were laughing at his drunken conduct He struck Ambler Darling and fractured hie skull. The boy is 6 years old aad may not recover. Tyler was arrested *m& put behind the bars. About J1 o'clock the jail took fire. The flames had spread so extensively when the town people learned'pi the fire that it was impossible to rescue Tylftr. He roared and bellowed within the burning buildiog. When the walls had fallen and the fire bad gone down his roasted body was dragged from tbe debris. It is thought the man set fire to the jaif himself. He was 38 years old aad leaves a widow with three ehildrea. They are very poor. It it a terrible warning that those who sell mtoii* cants to such men should be tHtajafcedf that drunken men should be eared fee before they break boys* skulls; anal' that before placing them >* j a i k t S f should be searched and relieved oiatf means fc* starting fix* 7 •S tf. •' ?

That's what a member of the Society for Psychical Research said to iue. 1 was amazed at it, (pr New York in the matter of ghosts, as in the matter of most other things, is far ahead of the rest of the country. There are plonty of haunted houses, with all modern improvements, on F.fth avenue, tenanted by advanced glioets, quite abreast of the latest thing iu pneumatology. 1 don't thiuk the ghost business is carried on anywhere on the island in the old-fashioned aud ridiculous stripe of the ghosts of 100 years ago. Thfi spirits do not clank chains and pointf out buried skeletons aud knock down the paus and crockery, and scare the life -at of the kitchen maids as they did iu the time of the Wesleys. Nor are the haunted bouses isolated and sot apart for the finger of superstition lower than he is, but that I can make progress if I try. If there is any hell iver here I have not heard of it, and do tot believe there is any such thing. I nn satisfied as I am.11 It is only about two hundred and #ty-six years ago since the first Thanksgiving day was observed in this puntry.

Ho said that they proposed to hold a literary fair to get monev for a school library. They evidently need a library in that section. The ignorance of this principal reminds one of the society lady in London "Who is this Dean Swift they were talking about?'1 she asked aTrtetut; "t wouldIike~to~1u~vire'" him to one of my receptions."

That plan effectually scatters the spirits, whether they materialize as rats or roam as wraiths. No. sir, long before the Society for P.s chu-al Research was instituted (whenever we copy anything from London we institute it) we had a little party of practical ghost hunters here iu this city who set out to find the rationale of the ghost business. If 1 tell you who were in that party you will no doubt recognize some of them. There was Wiuship, the artist, who was a Swedenborgian, one of the best talkers of transcendentalism in this country and one of the bitterest haters of the table-tipping, medium*working gang I ever saw. There was Ormund, who traveled all over thfl country for well-attested phenomena, who wrote up the result of his investigations in the Graphic aid afterwards wont' to India to study the Astral body business. There was Dr. Meade, the pamphleteer, and later the Neurasthenia inventor, one of the profound est materialists I ever met, whose theory of life was comprehended in the remark that "man was a worm in a~barrel." and thore was Avery Wells, who smoked cigarettes and was once called "Unsavory Smells" by John C. Fround. To this group may be added Maiden, the melancholy and almost misanthropic wretch who wrote the funny editorials for a daily paper and kept the town laughing for a year or two before he go"r~T" foreign" Trppotntment Like all tunny men he had a morbid desire to exploit and expose Spiritualism. Wells would hunt up haunted houses for us—how he managed to iiud them I never knew, but he certainly did furnish us with some of the best attested cases of local disturbance and authentic- Hod apparitions, and he successfully exploded the old-fashioned notion that gliosis prefer to walk in desolate old ancestral mansions by the "Nights', Plutonian Shore."

We did the regular business of watching with a dandle through the night; we tried tosecure all the conditions of super or sub-natural annoyance.

This is making use of the weapons of this world with a tengeance. from the Fifth Avenue Hotel. We went up to the Morrison house after that strange story in all the papers of a face in the window. We got home to sit out an examination of the Cruder house. But we did not get a sound or a sight of a ghost, and Maiden and the doctor had numor and science all their own way until we ran across the Will Davidson house on Fifth avenue. I ought to tell you, thotigb, one very notable thing about that Cruger bouse on Seoond avenue, and I don't think any of the investigating party that I have named (one or them, alas* is dead) will dispute tho statement, which i this: We found indubitable living evi dence that, whether ghost haunted or not, the Cruger house, to far at the tenants were concerned, was under some kind of ft spell or curs*.—The record of misfortunes begins about 15 years ago. A whole family of 12 melted away in it during one year, and the father, who was a Prussian, fled to hit native country. As near at we could get at it there was not the slightest ground for suspicion of epidemic, or poison or hereditary cause. Each victim died from a different set of ciroumstancear The next tenant was a boss mason by the name of Conley or Cowley. Ho had a wife and two children, one of which was an infant in arms. He had not been in the house throe months before the infant was killed by a most extraordinary accident The father came in one day suddenly. pick- About five months ftfterwardt lira. Con IT, who was standing on a stepladder in tho §*iaa* room patting in a window eurtain, fell by the giving way of the slept ia a. lateral direotion, kuoekiog down a larg»> mirror, a fragment of which severed every artery In one arm, and the bled to death before assistance could be obtained. We taw the blood ttaint on the boards long afterwsrde. The next victim «n the boose was » young man by the name of Ryerton, who, you mav recall, was accidentijy shot by his own brother while sitting at the window where Mrt. Conlv had fallen a year or two before. There was then a pond in am empty lot opposite the house, and the younger brother had gone there with a musket to shoot frogs. The first shot he fired struck the surface of the pond, glanced and entered the left breast ot the young man at the window. You will find uewsuaper accounts of it in the tiles of 1862. Up to as late as 1879 when the place was pulled down, ever, tenant met w.th misfortune or disaster, and nearly every a/coident took place in tli's room. One servant wus nearly burned to death by kerosene poured into a lighted tire. Two others were so badly maltreated by tramps that they died, and a Mr. Cunningham, who hired tho house in 1876. and who had never shown the slightest inclination toward insanity, was found one morning hanging to the same chandelier that had killed Conlv's baby. The woight of his body had pulled the gas pipe through tho plaster after he was dead and let him down on his feet, so that, instead of hanging, ho was found standing erect, a ghastly corpse, in the m'ddle of the room. In 1878 Francis Stalnitz. a wealthy and successful German, who was building a factory near by. lenstsd tho house and refitted it completely. His wife died of a lightning stroke six months after. The electricity struck the front chimney, tore up the bricks and hurled Mrs. Stanl tz. who was sitting at the grate, ncross the room, whereshe struck her temple on the sharp corner of a malachite pedestal. Her skull was crushed in, hut thero was no mark of the electricity upon her person. Before the year had expired Mr. Stalnitz failed. The strange succession of catastrophes was put down by Dr. Meade to coincidence But it was curious, to say the least, that the chain of coincidences, perfect up to '79. was promptly and effectually broken by rooting out the place from the foundation. All I've got to say is that the superstition embodied in the idea that to change one's luck is among the widest and deepest rooted of human notions. And our investigations forced up otTus We cd Ti cTus i o trtBaTlom'ei h o uses in New York had unimpeachablo records of ill-luck. But we did not find them associated with a spirit of disturbances. Witli regard to the Will Davidson mansion on upper Fifth avenue, the circumstances were of an entirely different character. Will leased his house for three years. It was one of a row of five-story brownstone front residences that brought a high rental, being opp6site the park. His family was a large one, there being four or Hye children and several servants. His wife began to complain of mysterious annoyances when they Jiad been there but two weeks. The children came trooping into her room at night in great fright that some one had "pulled all the bed clothes off." Her suspicion that one of the boys was implicated in the triijk was completely dissipated by putting them in separate rooms and locking all the doors. Ono morning she found the sheets and coverlets of the three girls' beds tied in a'congeries of hard knots in the middle of the room so tightly that it required the full strength of the three stout servants to extricate them after working several hours. The result of this was vexation, not alarm. Will was as far removed from superstition as is a meat axe. He swore at the d—n nonsense, but told of it on the street as a practical joke. When, however, the annoyance increased and Mrs. Davidson declared that she would leave the house, Will, with a practical man's method, went to a plumber and asked him to overhaul the place, The plumber sent three men with a kit of tools one morninjf. They proceeded to open up a dark closet at the basement, where pipes were interlaced. What they encountered was not learned at the time. They went away suddenly, leaving their tools, and the next morning Will wen: to the plum bet's and wanted to know what kind of men he had sent there. "I found nothing done jiLjthen I reached home,'1 he said, "and \T 7 ¥ l r wen gone." ^•What kind of house have you got?" asked the plumber.

"I'd give my right arm," said Winship, iu a husky kind of whisper, "if the doctor was here. As he spoke the finger disappeared. It did not molt. It was slowly pulled out of the hole, and iu a few minutes later the hole itself closed up. That was tho sum total of our experience in tho Davidson house. We saw nothinjr else and heard nothing, aud about 3 o'clock came away tired. I|H| We could not make Maiden believe that we victimized by our senses. Tho doctor wrote a pamphlet not long after on "Phantasms of the Retina." But Wells and I went with Will to the plumber's and found ono of the men who had been sent to the house..

Tho venerable Thomas Cleneay, who was buried Monday, was in many respects a remarkable man, says the Cincinnati Telegram, Many years ago he was ono of the most active business men of the old school in Cincinnati, and amassed a large fortune, when he retrod to the ease ami elegance of his splendid home, where he surrounded himself with all the comforts that could bo desired. He wus 79 years of age at his death, hut had never married, His brother's widow and her family were his household. Mr. Cleneay had a passion for the collection of rare coins, and had at the time of his death one of tho most valuable and extensive assortments in this country. It was estimated a number of years ago that it was worth between $25,000 and $30,000, and since then much has been added to it Mr. James A. Hughes sold him a full sot of silver American coin for $1,100, and later Mr. Cleneay is known to have paid $175. for a I cent copper piece of 1793. Mr. Mercer, the collector of curiosities, on Central avenue, has also sold him a number of expensive pieces. But strange as it may seem no one appears who ever saw his collection. He made it for himself and seems to have kept it entirely for his own amusement. He was a secretive man, and none of his own household were ever taken into his confidence. It was not known at the house whether he had a will or not. Some time since he presented several large cabinets of curiosities to the art museum, and it is beHeved that it was his mtent on to leave his coins to the same institution. They are now in the vaults of the Safe Deposit company. Persons who ought to know say it Is the finest, if not tbo very finest in the country. — ^ The Hippopotamus.

A large sjambok affords the )iily argument to which a native draught ox will listen, and a smaller instrument, called familiarly a "cowhide," is used in lieu of our riding whips. As the hippopotamus spends so much timo in the water, the akin is perforated with a number of pores, through which exudes a thiok, dark, jily secretion, which, like the fur of thoj seal, otter, beaver, and other aquatic uiimals, keeps tho creature dry, even, when it 5B submorged. When, in July^ 1&9.

Consequently a pair of new kid gloves which I was wearing were utterly spoiled. A female was afterward obtained, and in 1871 waa born—tho tirethippopotamus ever produced in Europe. As its mother did not know how to manage it. the young calf wat taken away and fed artificially. Taking it from its mother was a most perilous task, and, after a most exciting series of adventures, was achieved by Scott, the man who was afterward to well known as .:'JnmboliL" keeper.

J t was decided to hold the national convention during the first week in June 1&8. There was considerable rivalry manifested for securing the convention. St. Louis, represented oy William C. Wilson, made a five-minutes' bid, stating that his city was the center of the railroad world ana, had a ball capable of seating 5,200 Kople. Hosea B. Multon, a y o u n g atrney of Washington. D. C , spoke of bis beautixui city, Of Its being the political center from which radiated the light so necessary to all political parties. The t hotel ana railroad accommodations were unsurpassed, W. W. Batterlee wanted the convention at Minneapolis "because . as both republican and democratic conventions would be held there it might be just as well to have the prohibition's there too. The other parties will need an antidote, and I think we can give it to them." H. C. Dillon glowingly depicted the Rocky Mountain region, and wanted Denver selected, while William Makepeace Land and the Rev. Mr. Hickman spoke enthusiastically for Indianapolis. A resolution adopted by the natignal W. C. T. U. was presented protesting against personalities in politics, and urging all political oarties and partisan papers to abstain from so doing. ' The newly elected chairman, Mr. Dickie, announced that he would resign his professorship in Albion college and devote his entire time to politics. The committee guarahteed him a salary of $3,000 per annum. ~ He acknowledged his acceptance of the chairmanship, first calling for and receiving a pledge from each of the members that they would work in the coming campaign as they had never worked before, and above all t.> see thnt there should be no move by the prohibitionists looking to fusion with any other political party whatever. The proceedings behind closed doors occupied tbree hours. Indianapolis was formally decided upon as the place for the next national convention, and the first Wednesday in June, 1888, was named as tire-day. D E T R O I T " M A R K E T S .

Our ragged ancestors, who piercod the wilderness, built their uncouth but comfortable log cabins and started the clearings Sir the woods, which lu time became the broad, fertile fields of the modern farmer, found in roots and herbs that lav close at band nature's potent remedies for all their common ailment*. It was only iu very serious oases they sent for old "gaddie-Jxigs'' wjtb his phytic, which quite as often killed as cured. Latter day society has wandered too far away from nature in every way, for its own good. Our grandfathers and grandmothers lived wholesome*, purer, better, healthier, more natural lives than we d a Their minds were not filled with noxiousisms, nor their bodies saturated with poisonous drugs. Is it not time to make a change, to return to the simple vegetable preparations of our grandmothers, which contain the power aad potency of nature as remedial agents, and in all the ordinary ailments were efficacious, at least harmless? The proprietors of Warner's Log Cabiu Remedies have thought so, and have ;put on the market a number of these pure vegetable preparations, made from formulas secured after patient searching into the annals of the past, so that those who want them need not be without them. Among these Log Cabin remedies will be found "Log Cabin Sarsaparllla," for the blood; "Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy," atonic and stomach remedy: "Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy," 4>Log Cabin Scalplne," for strengthening and renewing the hair; "Log Cabin Extract," for both external and Internal application; "Log Cabin Liver Pills;" "Log Cabin Rose Cream,' an old but effective remedy for catarrh, and "Log Cabin Plasters." All these remedies are carefully prepared from recipes which were found, after long investigation, to have been those most successfully used by our grandmothers ot "ye olden time." They are the simple, vegetable, efficacious remedies of Log Cabin days. . ^, .—. The president's visit to Chicago is estimated to have cost the citizens of that ambitious town $250,000.

While declining to permit an interview, the Speaker announces that it' he should meet the Ex-Speaker before the assembling ot Congress, that they would be likely to informally discuss the tariff. But I seriously doubt if there is the least prospect of harmonizing the- discordant factions of the ' dominant party on this vital issue, on the eve ot a Presidental contest Mr. Carlisle, while representing the majority of his party, cannot move Mr. Randall trom his strong position, as the bulwark ot the protection ele- ' raent, either by coercion or compromise; nor is it probable that * be Speaker will have the com age to displace his troublesome rival from his old place as Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations.

The fact that there has been a saloon Hear the soldier*' home at Grand Rapids has long troubled the people who are in* tereatecl in having temperance prevail at that institution. Tho legislature passed an act absolutely forbidding liquor to be sold within one jnile of the home, but this law has bean violated, and a Grand Rapids justice court has gone so far as to hold the act unconstitutional. Gov. Luce has written to the prosecuting attorney and sheriff of Kent county Indicating very clearly his views on this question. The letters to these onicials were similar in tone, and we give the one to & O. Clay, prosecuting attorney: I>KAU Siu: 1 urn credibly Informed that, contrary to and in violation of act No. SI of'the besslou laws of 1887, a saloon has been established and is being maintained in clone pro* Unity to tho soldier*1 home In your county. The act referred to was parsed In re- . spouse to what seemed to be a clearly defined public sentiment, and received the unanimous approval of both houses of the legislature. The welfare of one of our noblest state institutions is threatened by what appears to be a flagrant and willful violation of this act prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors within one mile of tho soldiers' home. A jury In a justice court, however able and conscientious it may be, is not the proper tribunal to Anally determine the constitutionality of this or any other legislative act. While the constitution and the laws do not give me authority to command you In the performance or discharge of your official duties, yet I do most earnestly advise and request you to prosecute to the extent of the law each day's violation of that act until its provisions are complied with; or, until the supreme court of this state shall have declared the law unconstitutional. For the vindication of what has seemed a wise and just provision of our statutes, the state, whose interests are directly affected, must at present depend upon the judicial and executive officers of Kent county. And it is to be hoped that their earnest and prompt action in this matter will soon remove this curse from our soldiers' home. C. G. LUCK, Governor. -mm Burned in Jail. The village lockup In Webberville, Xng ham county, burned the other night and with it M. Sr Tyler, a~Bouse painter, aged 38 years, who had been locked up for disorderly conduct Tyler Was drunk the day before, and meeting a crowd of little boys made an attack upon them, striking Ambler Darling, aged <» years, fracturing his skull and probably in dieting fatal injuries. Tyler was at once arrested and taken to the lockup. About 11 o'clock at night an alarm of fire was raised, and the jail found to be on fire. A ru>h was made for the bundl i n g and Tyler was heard howling like a madman. Efforts were made to releasehim, bnt they failed, and shortly the wails grew lees and less distinct Then they ceased altogether. The building was quickly consumed and Tyler's roasted l>ody was drawn fjpin among the debris. The drunken man evidently set fire to the building himself. Tylor leaves a widow and three children in indigent circumstances. Bohemian Oats Agent Convicted. The first conviction in Michigan of a Bohemian oats agent, for obtaining a signature to a promissory note, under false pretences, occurred in the circuit court, for Genesee county on the 1st Inst The case was that of the people vs. Alfred W. Hamner, representing the Bohemian oats and cereal company of Ypsilantl. The complaining witness was Abram Tittsworth, a well known ami well-to-do farm- OLQf Atlas township. The rase occupied two days in trial and excited widespread interest, as it was generally regarded as a test case. Prosecuting attorneys from several Of the counties i n i h i s part of the state were In attendance on tho trial, which was conducted wilh ability on both sides. The case will be appealed to the supreme court Thankfal Granger*. A joint letter to the mayor and common council of Lansing from Gov. and Mrs. Luce reads as follows: The warm greeting and generous hospitality received from your hands and from Hill tho eltteena-fat- evcperierl jmr-Jiigheat anticipations, 'and we desire to tender grateful thanks for ail your kindness, and assure you that down through the years we will remember it as one of the happy recollections of our lives.?1 The grange was brought to Michigan through the governor's personal efforts.

The attorney*gen« eral has made known his decision. H e Ifulds that the first section, directs the ad~ juettnent of the grants, the second section for the restoration of title to the United States, and the third provides for the reinstatement of any homesteader whose pre emption shall have been erroneously cancelled on account of railroad,grant, or withdrawal."-' • ••>- ' 'In answer to the second Question of Secretary Lamar—"Can the department after adjustment of the grant by the department, Issue a patent to the purchaser of such land before the said land has been 'econveyed by the road or title recovered by judicial proceedlnge?"—Mr. Garland says that the persons or per son so purchasing in good faith shall be entitled to l.tud so purchased after the grants respectively shall have been adjusted. The third question is as follows: " T h e fifth section provides-that where a railroad company has sold lands not conveyed to or for the use of such company, and where such lands are for any reason excepted from the operations of the grant of said company, it shall be lawful for the bona fide purchaser thereof from said company to make payment of the United States for said land, and thereupon patents shall issue therefor to the said bona fide purchaser, or his heirs or assigns." Mr. Garland decides the Intent of the act shows that to carry out its purpose the word "grant" wherever used In the second, third and fourth sections, must include lands in both primary and indemnity limits, and in order that the remedy may be adequate to redress the wrong the word "grant" in the fifth section must be construed to include, as it does in preceding sections of the act, both primary and indemnity limits. Immediately upon the receipt of this decision Secretary Lamar directed the commissioner of the general land office to proceed at once and with as much dispatch as possible to adjust/all land grants under tho act of March », 1887, in accordance with the opinion of the attorney-general in regard to the same. **r * t * •if a: A9TV*€HDOUB A T n w * fje» 'UaS t*qm * *>* i- Inery.

The agricultural fairs are over for this season, and tbe managers of them are engaged in making up their reports. Ftoui a financial stand-point they have as a rule been tolerably successful. Generally the receipts were larger than the expenditures. The money received for admission tickets ordinarily ]>nid the premiums, and that obtained from other sources paid tbe remaining expenses. No serious accident occurred at any of the fairs held this season, and no disturbances were reported. There were fewer objectionable sideshows than usual, less gambling, and less grog-selling. Those who visited many fairs this season state that they »:iw few things that were calculated to "H'mid the moral sense of the visitors. I is observable that there is more harmony about locating and managing n^ricullural fairs than there was a few years ago. Ou/i town does not now establish and support a fair in order to show .spile toward some rival town in tho same county. There are fe*v couuiies in the western states in which a fair is not held, and only in rare instances is there more than one. All these things appear to be favorable to the success of fairs as they are now conducted. It is generally admitted, however, that there is a lack of interest, or sit least of enthusiasm, ou the part of farmers in respect to fairs. They have ordinarily allowed their nmna^ement to pass out of their hands, and have permitted them to be conducted by men living in town, who have, only uu indirect interest, in farming. As members and officers of a fair association often have no special interest i" agriculture, they are likely to look upon a fair simply as a means of making money and affording pleasure. They arrange a sort of variety eiiterlisiniucnt in which farming interests nr«? represented to about, the same extent tbov are in an prdihary agricultural college—just cn<rugh to justify us.ng i lie n a mo find securing an Hppropriat on There are line animals of vario'. n kinds, a few field, orchard, and gimlcu products, some flowers and pictures and specimens of fanoy needlework. There are other and greater attractions in the form of horse-races, baloon ascensions, military drills, brass bands, disUugushcd strangers, and perhaps collections of curiosities of various sorts "Ttae~fHTririifccry"to be a very enjoy- j er tiblo entertain unlit Farmers come to it with their families and have a pleasant time. If they make exhibits and obtain premiums they are made happy and av« paid for the trouble they have had in taking articles to the show. The monotony of farm life is broken, and pood results from the change. That tonio now and valuable ideas are obtained is ordinarily true. That farriers do not spend much of their time atfkirs in going from one stock-pen to another and comparing the merits of the animals or in watching the examination of committees in a matter of common obtu'ivatiou. Funnel's n England and Franco may spend their time at a stocknhow in tii s manner, as there is little but live stock to claim their attention. But our fairs are too much like a circus in diverting attention. The pursuit of knowledge is constantly being interrupted In tho pursuit of pleasure. The performances on the race-track will cause fvery person to leave the agricultural hall, while the keepers will leave the herds and the shepherds desert their Qoeks. Farmers have so little sport at home that they are inclined to make the most of the advantages afforded by fairs. Fairs do uot instruct people as they recently brought sot In the store* of dealers. A large proportion of f«m»* >ers receive the Dlnstrated catalogue of ImMemeof. dealers and manufacturer*. It is no longer necessary to attend an agricultural fair to acquire information about farm machinery. As with machines and implements, breeds of animals and fowls, so with varieties of friut, grairt> and vegetables. They have all become very common, for they are found in every city or village market Besides, illostrat ons of them have appeared in papers and in the catalogues of nursery men and seedsmen. In seed stores one cab see a greater variety of all kinds of grainf and better specimens of each than at any fair. The agricultural fair was very useful as a means of imparting instruction. But during the past few years it has been superseded by other agencies, a part of which have been mentioned. In view of these things it does not appear strange that the managers of fairs have been obliged to present new attractions in order to attract visitors. It is now evident that fairs are in a transitive state. They are combinations of the useful and the pleasing— the latter predominating. It is evident that the farmers' institute is now regarded by most persons interested in agriculture with more favor than the fairs, as a greater amount of practical in format* on can be obtained from one. Most farmers are now well informed about breeds of an mala and fowls, the different varieties of grain, Irnit, and vegetables, and the many kinds ef implements and machines They want information in regard to farm management, the treatment of soils, the ra sing of crops, the breeding of stock, and tbe establishment of dairies. This they can acquire at a farmers' institute much better than at a fair. At the latter they have used their eyes to good advantage, and they now need to learn through their ears. At a farmers* institute no attempt is ordinarily made to make the exsreises other than instructive. Scientific and practcal knowledgcls imparted by experts to persons who desire to be instructed rather than amused. v * * * • < S5 • * ! • • • " • .W S3*: DOf4EamC HINT& S--M-a-<-fl-»-|-MS> ATFLK DinMFtnrGs.—Three ful* Qo*r, two heaping tenspoonfols b? baking powder, one tabietpooofnl o r butter mxed well through flour, and oue leu spoon fol suit.

Speed is required again. Waste on "Weatern Farms. That nearly as much is wasted on a farm in the west as is raised on one of the same size in the east has often been remarked when a farmer from the firstnamed region visits this part of the country. He often sees many acres ot grass that have not been cut and over which pra rie fires will run. He is surprised to see the cornstalks in tho fall and winter on the hills where they grew, tho foliage destroyed by the frost and wind. He knows that these cornstalks if cut in time and properly cured and protected are worth as much for feeding stock as the hay that could be cut on the same amount of land. Tho waste is painful to him He does not wonder that the average western farmhas a hard time when much good stock food to g o t o decay. He looks over a township and estimates the value of the corn fodder that has been wasted at some $10,000. He multiplies this sum by the number of townships in the state, and ascertains that the waste amounts to tens of millions of dollars. On his return home he writes to some paper an account of what he saw. In h s articles he states that the farmers in the regon he visited could become rich in a few years if they would practice the methods of saving that are common in tho eastern states, where corn fodder is all cut when the foliage is green, and where the husks are saved for making mattresses. He notices that other things than cornstalks and grass are wasted. He observes that grain springs up in every field after was mfi by inducements to participate \ not seen sees that much of the grain straw is burned or allowed to rot. He forgets the old adage that "circumstances alter cases." He does not take into consideration the faot that there is not stock enough in that part of the country to eat all the grass that is produced, and that tbe price of hay mav not pay the cost of preparing ft and sending it to market It does not FiNe COKN CAKE. —Take three pints of sour milk, or butter milk, with one teaenpful of sour cream stirred into it; two eggs, a teaspoon of soda dissolved in warm or cold water,—not hot. —n pinch of salt, and as much new coarse corn meal as will make a moderately thick batter. We bake this in t^io long sheet iron bread pan. While making the cake we havo the pan warming with a little lump of butler in it, standing, say, on top of the tea kettle on the, stove. Have a good baking lire ready. Pour the batter into the pan, and stir it from the edges, so that tho melted butter will mix in well. This should bake in less than half an hour. Everything should be hot and ready, so that supper may be served the instant the cake is done. Cut out in checks and lay on a hot plate, lightly. It wi.il be crisp, and havo tbo line nutty flavor that belongs to any edible made from fresh, new and untainted yellow corn meal. SWEDISH BOXLS,— Ono pint of boiled milk; one-half cup of butter and onequarter cup of sugar creamed together. Add the whitos of two eggs oeaten stiff and one-half cup of compressed \ east dissolved in a little warm water. Stir in flour enough to make it etifi enough to knead until smooth; set It rise. When well risen, roll out one* half inch thick, spread with sugar, spice, a little grated lemon, or a few currants. Roll up like jelly roll, cat in slices an inch wide, let them rise, and bake in a quick oven. APPLE COSTARD.—Make a syrup of s pound of white sugar to a pint of water; let this boil, removing auy scum that may arise. Drop it into a dozen or more tart apples pared, ooied. and quartered; flavor withshe jujjee oi a fresh lemon. Let it cook until the ok *ool in a mould or a bowl.

If nnv of tbem were exhibited at a fair, the farmers came long distances to sea them. They were as great novelties as the wild animals captured in a distant part of the world. Now, specimens of all these breeds have become so common that almost every farmer and farmer's boy bars seen them, and know of their comparative merits. Besides, the illustrated live-stock journals have produced portraits of the most noted specimens of all the breeds of fauoy animals, •o that they are almost as familiar to people as the pictures of distinguished men. The illustrated biographies of noted animals are now published and rend by roost persons interested in livestock matters. It is easier to obtain the pedigree of a race-horse than th« g*n». alogy of a statesman or philosopher. Vonng boys can at once recognise a Hereford Jersey, or Holsticn cow by tho information they have derived from the study of pictures. People are bettor informed about the various breeds of farm animals than upon any »ui>joet on which they converse. Twontr-five years ago, many people attended fairs principally for tho purpose of seeing the farm implements and machinery that were on exhibition. They were then great novelties, and attracted niuoh attention. Now they have become so common that very fow examine t^ose on exhibition at 1» • • . r ' fairs. They hate seen most of them in ueosasvu or oxawa OH wua a p*p»*Mfc operation, and have examined those can one acre of cornstalks, and that he has not time to secure both grass and com fodder before they aro killed by the frost. His stay in the west is so short that he does not ascertain that farm labor is more scarce and expensive than it is at home; the farm products sell for much less, and that there is no market for many of tbe things that command good prices in the east Ou his farm, whioh is near a large; town, straw and small hay are worth' sowing for bedding horses, and. com ^ mand as high a price as timothy hay| does in Iowa or Nebraska. This * being the case, he sows them and takes them to market, though he is obliged to hire: help to enable him to do the work. He outs, cures, and puts under cover all the corn-stalks he raises. There may ha wn demand for them in towns, hut they take the place of hay in his own feed%g yard, and the hay commands a good price. It will pay him to employ men to rake over grain-fields after the harvester has done its work. It also, pays him to use the hand-rake in the< mowing-field. He would probably find that he could not make living wages by' using a hand-rake in a grain or grass field ia many places in the west In them the waste of hay and grain can only be prevented by a greater waste of labor and money. It may not pav to save it and can uot collect enough to support him. Gleaning is only profitable in countries where grain is toaroe and many persons are without profitable employ men t-GMeoe* 2'J«M*. Discipline the l.ye. A very good way to d >ciphr?e tbe mechanical eye is to first iuea*nrc rui inch with the eye, then prove a. with * rule, then measure a half-inch, then an eighth, and so on. and you will soon be ablo to discover at a glance the difference between a twelfth and a sixteenth of an inch; go to three inches, six, twelve, and so on. Some call this guessing; there is no guesswork about it It is measuring with the eye and mind. Acquire the habit of criticising for imperfections every piece of work that you Bee; do everything as nearly as you can without measuring (or spoiling 1$). or as nearly as you can trust the eye with its present training. If you cannot see things mechanically, do not blame the eye for it; it is no more to blame than the mouth is because we cannot read, or tho fingers because we cannot write, A person may write a very good band with the eyos closed, the mind, of course, directing th» tmgers. The eye is necessary, how «*er. to detest imperfections Every opera tion in life requires n mechanically trained eye. and wc should realise mere than we do the great importance of properly training that organ.

Some farmers always excel others in raising crops; others are particularly successful in some branch of horticulture or of stock raising.

Residents of Dist. No. 2, Putnim, pay their taxes with wry faces this year. Throughout the county the State fax is one-third higher and the county tax one-fourth higher than las' year and in this school district about $ 1500 more than usual is being raised. This extra school tax is to pay for school house site purchased, and is larger this year than it will be again, as hereafter a less amount of indebtedness will be paid ar.nually than is paid this year. In more than one instance men come with the money to pay their taxes, but when they learn the amount have to delay the matter for more funds.

An old trapper writes as follows to The 2'oronto Qlobt: Naturalists have often spoken in admiration of the constructive ability of the beaver. Indeed, it is one of the things that staggers Darwin in the belief of bis" own theory. But there is another thing I think more wonderful still; that is the unt'lTiug skill they possess to choose the best places to build their dams. No fugiuecr. fully acquainted with all their needs, could lay out a more suitable place than they themselves will do. I his is the more astonishing to those who are well acquainted with their nature, and know the fact that they are not, as writers often represent liu'in to bo, tho most intelligent of tmimals, but on the contrary, possess less general intelligence than tho most if brutes. If a creek has a branch runn ng into it, and if below tho juuctlon of the two streams, the high lands come within a reasonable distance of each other, tiie beavers are sure to dam such a place. And if the high lands widen out above, and the valley is level, so as to form long, wide flats up the two streams, the dam will be a large one, for next to a lake, it is the favorite locality for them. And now a word about their darnbuihtug. Their skill at this would put to blush many of the professional dambuilders who went about erecting the water-mills ot earlier times, ami can not be excelled by. man after the greatest experience. If they intend to raise the water only a few feet they build on the place as they find it, trusting to their skill in puddling (for they are the best of pnddlers) to stop any leak that may occur. Bin if they wish to raise a high dam. such as probably will be found in a place like I am writing about, they will clear away all the rubfcish.

After a sufficiency of this material is placed in position, they till it with earth, which Ttiey carry rolled into balls-in their forearms pressed against their breasts, and rnake the dam before they leave ""it-almost bottle tight. They are, not so particular about the wings of the dam running from the channel of tho creek over the flats to the h/gh lands, but built on the ground there as they find it, again trusting to their puddling skill to preventorTepTitrany lank,: as trm-pressure nnd force of tho water here is not near so great as it is >n the channel of tiie <reek, where a place is left for if to Jlow over. So skillfully can they stop a leak that 1 have frequent Iv seen a log running through l.ho dam under three or four feet head of water, and yet scarcely a drop escaping, a feat which every dam, builder knows is hard to do. They use moss and leaves at a job of this kind, and push it in almost as firmly as a calker does a vessel. So firm and substantial is their work done that I have known their dams to keep full for years after tho beavers had been killed off. On one oeeas on I saw a dam at the head of a stream where the supply of water in dry weather was so small that evaporation carr'ed it all away, leaving the channel below quite dry, yet the dam was so tight that the 'pond was kept fulK In very high dams, built on places where the foundation is not very good, they often -build- oncr-or— ruore^smalleiL dams below, so as to ease the pressure on the main one above. They work with a will, and without waste of labor, and their work progresses at a susprising rate. Though a dam, such as the one above, may be several years before it attains its full proportions (for they only work as their necessities require), yet I have known two beavers in one night throw a dam across a creek which I-think two men could hardly do in the same, length of time. The dam completed, they erect their houses generally on the edge of the deep channel i hoy have dug out in building their dams, or on the edge of the channel of the creek that runs through the pond, but if further back they always dig out deep channels to connect their homos with the deep water elsewhere, making a way to escape unseen should any enemy disturb them. Their houses are mounts of mud and sticks, sometimes larger, sometimes smaller. Some are only two or three feet high, others ten or fifteen. They are hollowed out inside somewhat in the shape of the house outside, and the cavity of each corresponds to tke^ size of the house.

This is the fitting punishment for his attempt to betray his country to France. thinner to the top, where they ere open enough to let the air in to the beaver* beneath. Besides their homes, each beaver has one or more places of refuge to escape to in esse their knues are broken up, nnd breathing stations in the winter time when they ore out feeding distant front their hones. The can remain a long time under water without taking breath, but how long I cannot say. I once found one in a trap. When I apprehended it, it dived under and sought to hide under a log which lay at the bottom. Having a bole in the canoe with me. I bad the curiosity to see how Jong it could remain under, so I pinned it there and made it fast Taking out my watch, I kept it there for twenty minutes, when I became impatient, as I had a loug journey to make, aud let it go. It immediately rose to the surface, seemingly much exhausted, but how much longer it could have got along without breath, is more than 1 can say; but come up to breathe they must, otherwise they will drown as certainly, but not so quickly as a land animal. At first a dam of this kind will be a woods of water, but the trees will soon d e, and the place grow up with tufted grass and water plants; the wind in ., time will blow the trees down, leaving a marsh full of fallen trees. But if the beavers are killed off aud no others supply their places, eventually the dam will break away, tho waters drain off. nnd the fallen trees rot away, turning the place mto tho * 'beaver meadow" of tho backwoods, some of which have been lenantloss so long that all signs of beavers are obliterated.

He was a line-looking specimen of manhood,- tall, compact, bright eyes, hair tinged with gray, faultlossh dressed—in short, a gentleman in appearance and manners. Without affectation, his voice had a business ring, the words dropping crisp and clear. Some might say that the tone was too positive; yet it was not more so than would be expected in a business man who deals with a great, variety of people. "I have been coming to this city for the past twenty-live \cars and I have watched the growth of young people closely," he said to one of his patrons yostenhvv, "and 1 used to think you had the handsomest women of any city in the whole country.1' "That is just what we have," said the wealthy merchant, with whom hi was talking. "No, I can't say so much now," re plied the traveler. "You had them once but not now. Year by year \ our women are growing uglier, more Heshy, less act ve and vivacious. •,Twenty years ago it w:is a rarity to soc a sallow, languid l;idy pass your store. Now it is almost the reverse." "Well, norc, I haven't noticed that," said the merchant, in a manner indicatingfbathe^ rarrbtedffcr-— — - -. "Probably not," replied the traveler, "beeause \ou are right here all the time :uid would not notice the slight changes from day to day, while i come only once in two years. That, makua a great difference. Then I am a closer observer of such things than you are, or, rather. 1 am m'oro sensitive to the effects of beauty. You may not think it. but I arm as. sensitive as an artist. I left the house and went on tho road because it became an annoyance to me to wait on ugly customers." "It doesn't make a praticlo of difference to me s o l get the money." laughingly replied tiie merchant "Of course a man possessed of any taste whatever prefers to wait on a* good-looking, refined ladv to one who is coarse, illmannered or shabbily dressed." "That is just what I was telling you," continued the traveler. "You are not as sensitive as I am, therefore not; as well qualified to judge." "I« what way-are-our women growing ugly and offensive to your superior sense of the beautiful?" "They are growing heavy, sallow and limp." he began, "Red,"rosy cheeks are rarities; strong, vigorous bodies arc fast giving place to weak, ill-shapen forms. Formerly your ladies were healthy and robust, but now they are becoming listless and scrawny or fat. Then they are dressing in most iiorrd form. My dear sir, there hasn/t been a passably dressed lady in your store since 1 have been here! They seem to follow the fashion whether it becomes them or not." "You had better not allow tho ladies to hear you talking this way, or they will pull your ears," said the merchant, 4 'They ought to hear it, all. the same,'' replied the traveler. "However, I don't suppose it would do much good, because women are so indifferent in regard to their health, and the things that go to make them beautiful.

If these are withhold, all else that can be done is, like pouring water into a sieve, a little chugs while the greater part is lost When these are given, many minor details that are usually insisted upon as of great importance may be overlooked, or omitted, without serious detriment to the sufferer. To tlis superficial observer they may seem easy things to furnish, but any physician with a large practice will testify that he has more or less difficulty in obtaining them for his patients under the most favorable circumstances, hi many cas^s. even with incess.intWatchfulness on h s pint, he cannot be sure that in his absence they are provided in proper quantities and continuously. In order to have pure air the most scrupulous cleanliness must prevail in the sickroom; all the surroundings of the invalid must be spotlessly neat and fresh. To keep them wo requires no small amount of care aud ingenuity on the part of lho nurse, aud all her kuowledge will bo needed to do it without disturbing ami irritating her charge. It is evident, then, that pure air involves much more than the mere labor of opening and shutting a window: To provide proper food for a sick person it is indispensable that the nurse should know something of the effect of different forms of food on tho human system, what kinds are best adapted to "repair the waste of disease, aud how they can l)e administered to obtain the best of result. Milk, for instance, which is tho staple1 article of diet for most persons suffering from serious illness, may be so given as to be positively injurious instead of beneficial. Although it is a liquid when swallowed the action of tho gastric juice in the stomach turns it into a solid curd, like soft blanc mango. Th s must be again converted into a fluid before it, can be absorbed to add to the nourishment of the body. If too much is given at once a mass of curd is formed which is more than the stomach can take care of in its weakened condition. It digests very slowly, or not at all, and causes discomfort and oppression, if it is not rejected altogether, exhausting instead of benefitting tho patient. — Good Housekeeping. Professional Women. A common-sense woman, who puts M. D. after her name, told me this the other night: "I have but ono objection lo being a professional woman—that is. the peculiar estimation in which my own sex holds me. I know they don't mean it, but I feel it sometimes until I have to turn my face to conceal tho flush on my checks. Do you know that ...the average society woman acts as though .she thinks that ono of her own sex whb has a profession has no social rights? This average society woman would not admit this, of course, and perhaps she dosen't really mean it I would like to put on a dress from tho dress-maker's latest pattern; but if 1 do my pat ent looks at mo in a sort of inquiring way.

GEOOKAPHICAL HAZINKSS.—A surprising ignorance in geographical matters prevails eveu among people of cnltore. Many examples of this have .been lately collected by Colonel Sir Charles Warren. In one case an educated surveyor could not free himself of the idea that Paris was north of London, and another located the west cud of London toward the eastern coast Out of thirty well-instructed men, from eighteen to twenty years old, about eighteen were under the impression that while the sun rises in the east, the stars rise in the west SOUNDING BY SOUND.—On some parts of the coast of Sumatra and the neighboring islands, writes Mr. W. Mattieu Williams, tho fishermen test the depth of the sea, and also the nature of tho sea bottom, by tbe noises they hoar on applying the ear to one end of an oar of which the other end is plunged in the water. At a depth of twenty feet and les', the sound is a crepitation, uiniifur to that produced when salt is thrown on burning charcoal; at fifty feet it is like the ticking of a watch, tho tick-tack being more or less rapid, according to whether the bottom s entirely of coral or alternately of coral and mud, or of sand. If the bottom is entirely of sand, the sound is clear; if of mud, it resembles the humming of a swarm of bees. On dark nights the fishermen select their fishery grounds according to these indications. KNOWLEDGE IS HEALTH.—At the recent hygienic congress in Vienna, iierr von Pettenkofer urged the importance of a more general teaching in the publie schools of the influence of air, water and soil on the public health. Whut scientific hygiene has accomplished was illustrated by the caso of London, where, in the seventeenth century, with less than 1,000,000 inhabitants, tho average death-rate was 42 per 1,000 per vear; while now, with a population of 4,0()0,000, it is less than 21 per 1.000. That is, scichce has more than doubled the average life of the Londoner. In the Crimean war, 'ho French lost 96»- 000 men, of whom only 20,000 were killed, while 75,000 died from,disease, in the Franco-Gorman war, the effect of hygienic teaching in the military schools was already apparent, for out of a Total Toss "fo~TtTe German army—of 40,881, there wero only 12,282 deaths from disease. A TRICE COVERING MANV ACRES.—- The banyan tree is one of the remarkable products of the East Indies. Its life is usually begun from a minute seed dropped by some bird upon some other plant, such as tho wdd date, which it crushes as it grows. Every branch'from the main body throws out its own roots, which constantly thick*, ening, descend to tho ground several yards below, where they strike in, increase to largo trunks, and send1" out new branches from IhciiMops, which in turn repeat the process. ""The potanic garden at Calcutta contaiYrs^ji great banyan, now about a century old. which has a parent trunk 42 feet in circumference, 232 root-trunks ranging from a few inches to a foot around, wirii a vast ieafy crown 867 feet n circumference. Near the hill fort of Wysatgarh. in the Bombay presidency, Li a banyan whoso top in 1882 measured 1,587 feet in circumference. Other specimens greatly exceed even this prodigious size, single trees being said to cover thirteen acres. The famous banyan under which Alexander the Great stopped, on the banks of the Nerbudda, once sheltered 7,000 men, and when seen by Jorbes a generation ago, though much reduced in size by Hoods, was still nearly ,2,000 feet iu circumference, aad had more than 8,000 trunks. — Compiledfor The Arkansaw Traveler. - • • , . .. i. . . . , i n ^ »—II.« - , . - The Old Bartender's Lament. One of the old-time mixers tells me that it is his opinion that prohibition is slowly but certainly getting its grip OD the country. "I can tell it," ho said, "in the falling off of morning cocktails. It used to take tbrwe men behind tho bar to wait on early customers, and now it takes but one." Then I have noticed thai drinkers on tho average pour out less than they did formerly. Lord bless you, I am one of the ancients in tho business.

I havo noticed this tendency to kind o* weaken liquor for a long"time, and I think as how prohibition is getting in its work.

A Hash, a roar, and in tbo very moment the. harpoon was buried t o the handle in the big whale, but strange, the bomb didn't explode, and the animal, suffering intense agonies, shot out to sea, towing the steamer after him. Against tho towering waves, against, the raging storm, the whaler went wilh lightning speed though its engime was reversed.

They aro fair samples of the spontaneous .vpressions with which thousands give utterance to their 6ense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to thorn by th£ use of this world-famed medicine, Mrs. SorEiA F.

Many times women call on theic. familv physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and m this way thoy all present alike to themselves and their easv-froing and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when. In reality, they aro all only symptoms caused by some womb disorder. Tho physician, ifrnorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until laryo bills are mado patient gota no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wronj? treatment and consequent complications. A pi like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cauw would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelum,' all thoso mtient out ike Presctip distressing symptoms, and instituting- comfort instead of prolonged misery.

I wrote a letter to my family paner, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and offering to send tho full particulars to any one writing mo for tbeuv and enclosing a siamped-cnwlope, for replu. I havo received over four hundred letters. In reply. I have described my case and the treatment used, and havo earnestly advised them to 4do likewise.' From a great many I havo received second letters of thanks, stating- that they had commenced tho use of 'Favorite Prescription,' had sent tho $1.50 required for the ' Medical Adviser,' and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much better already."

I finally told my husband that if he would get me some of your medicines, I would try them against tlw advice of .my physician. He got me six bottles of the 'Favorito Prescription/ also six bottles of the 'Discovery,' for ten dollars. I took three bottles of 'Discovery* and four of ' Favorite Prescription,' and I have been a sound woman for four years.

Secretary Fairchild's report is vm* voluminous and one that will be read with general interest. It represents much earnest thought and hard work. tor the Secretary devoted a whole month's time to the great task before him*-the report is in the Secretary's own handwriting. This document will not be submitted tc Congress until the second day after the meeting of that body. Among the important recommendations is the suggestion that Congress provide tor the erection of a fire proof hall of records for the ^better preservation of valuable government records that at present are too much in danger of destruction. Many of the President's friends are again concerned about his health, on account of his disinclination to take outdoor exercise. In this respect, Mr. Cleveland differs greatly from most of bp» yraitaeessors, for an early morning jattHlMl lott WM almost an invariable foale-m YfHh Mr, Arthur, General Grant, and otb«r Presidents. During the moath of November there was a considerable increase in the National debt, chiefly because ot the vast sum paid out for pensions— the amount being- eighteen million duLlars on that account. For the period in question, the receipts of tho Government were over a million dollars a day. The report of the Postmaster General makes a very favorable shewing, from which it appears that there ha* been a gain of $4,840,000 in receipts, as compared with 'the previous year, while, on the other hand, the increase in expense is but little more than two million dollars. Thejdeficiency, whieh. two years ago, was $700,000, has been reduced about three-fourths, and it is estimated thai it will almost entirely disappear beibret he close ofthe-current year, it the present promising conduction of the affairs of the Department cout.nues.

Let a farmer raise an extraordinary crop of any kind and he immediately '•rushes into p r i n t " to give an account of i t Then farmers and newspaper correspondents visit the place with a view of ascertaining how it was produced. The soil is carefully examined and information obtained about the kind and amount of fertilizers applied to the land. The method of plowing and cultivating and the time of planting or sowing are learned. The variety of seed is also ascertained and the quantity used on a given amount of land. In short, every detail is obtained and placed before the farming public. As with field crops so with those produced in the garden, orchard, and vineyard. The method pursued in producing^ those that are large are always carefully described. The like is true in reg a r d to success in any department of stock-raising, keeping poultry, or producing honey. We always learn who suceeeds in any of these pursuits, and it we do not learn the exact cause of the success wo learn under what conditions the success was obtained, and generally infer that they are tho proper ones to establish in nil oa.rcs. The method employed in producing a premium crop of any kind is generally followed in the vicinity where it was raisod. The cause of failure in any department of agriculture are not thus carefully considered and patiently investigated. The farmer' who raises a very poor crop of any kind is not anxious to publish the fact to the world. Generally "no o n c l m t his creditors and next neighbors, know much about i t He fails to produce a payingcrop of wiieat. oats, rye, corn, or potatoes, or all of them, perhaps ono year aud perhaps cluring a succession of years, but no one ascertains the cause of the failure, and most likeh' no one attempts to do so. The farmer who raises a poor erop of any kind may occupy land similar to that of .his neighbors who raise excellent crops of the same kind, lie may apply the mime kind of a fertilizer to his soil; mav use the same kind of implements for preparing tho_Ja_nd_Jor_ planting; may plant in his seed at about the same time and cultivate tho growing plants in substantially the same way, but 1MS fails in raising a ti'ood crop while they succeed. Cases of this kind are not infrequent. The like is true about failures in gardening, fruit production, stock-raising, and boe-keeping. Tho worst failures often- occur in the same neighborhood where the most splendid success is obtained. It is by no means strange that people are not as anxious to ascertain tho causes of failure as of success. All are trying to succeed and are endeavoring to learn how to do so. Il is with "farming as with other matters. The biographies of successful men are writton and are read by millions. No one writes the biographies oi JBMM wlio fad in war or in uny peaceful pnrnnli. If they were written s a d p o & i s l t s d f s w would read them. We n e s t the lives of successful a n t h ^ w . wwrHora, aetors.

Every isKUdeat in the lives of these men is as familiar to us as those in the lives of the members of our'own family. We know their general habits, their tastes, aad their methods of work aud study. We Study these matters so carefully that we think we know why they suceeodooV Wc arc not thus anxious to lea?BT^a1lTfboul'the Itvcs" and habits of t h e m e e , w h o never succeeded in getting their Wfitregs published,who always lost e a t t k e , who made inventions'that were'of a o value, who were hissed every lime they appeared on the stage, or who jwet more money in business than t h e y e f e r made. It is thus with the lives of unsuccessful farmers. Wo have BO Interest in trying to learn why thejrftJVeA always remained poor, or wcrei eofesatlled to givo up their business^ /•* r? Bat the farmer who fails in one or in severe! tilings should try to ascertain of his failure. He should e matter of the most careful . H i s only hope of success in the depends on his discovering tho 4>r causes of his fa lure. He can m his methods till he underh a t he hns been doing in the Way or at the wrong time. He first find out why ho failed to prodboa a s ^ o o d crops as his neighbors, Who apparently had no special ad- • e a t IMS over him. Ho can remombcr Hew [ h e proceeded in preparing his la seeding it, and in managing it seed time to harvest. He should his methods of doing work so of his neighbors who were successful. If he can not see for H why he failed ho should obtain ions of his neighbors. He not consider it humiliating to do so, but a p a r t of his duty to himself. Successful farmers always like to give advice and counsel when they are asked to do so. They feel complimented at being invited to give instruction. They will Hot criticise the methods of others unless they know that their r e m a r k s will be kindly rece ved. But the seeker af^er information about his failure may obtain opt eel lout advice from them. Now that the season has closed, every farmer who has had poor success with crops, not clearly chargeable to the season, should endeavor to ascertain the cauae of his failure. If he can not determine it himself he should seek information from his neighbors. He should follow the same course,he pursues in a case of obscure or dangerous sickness. If he cannot ascertain for himself what is the matter and apply a domestic remedy, he should get the opinion of someone who knows more than he does. If he cannot obtain from him the requisite information, he should call a council. He should pursue the same course in relation to failures in the garden, orchard, vineyard, and stable. If ho succeeds in raising crops and animals, but fails in general management, he should endeavor to find out what mistakes he makes in doing business, and endeavor to correct them. — Chicago Times. Stooping Forward. On the subject of" stooping lorward the London Laticet gives this advice. Every one knows that stooping forward, particularly after rising quickly from the bed in the morning, when the stomach is e m p t y v a n d the heart has less than ordinary sdpport from the viscera below the diaphri*£mT1s very apt to occasion a form of raintn^ss with vertigo not unlike that whhyl decurs in seasickness. We do not at-the moment speak of the faintnes* and giddiness from cerebral ansemia, which are directly consequently upon suddenly assuming tho erect after long continuing in the recumbent posture, but of tho more alarming sensation of being in the centre of objects which are-rapidly passing away, usually from left to right, with loss of power to stand or even sit, and an almost nightmare feeling -of inability to call for help or do anything to avert a catastrophe, while throughout the experience the suil'erer retains painfully acute consciousness. This, we say, is familiar as one, at least, of the effects not uncommenly produced by stooping forward under the special conditions indicated. With many other varieties of the vertigo consequent noon the heart weakness or cerebral aiuemia observation or experience had made us all aquainted. We cannot, however, help thinking that the consequences of even partial compression of veins of the neck, offering an obstacle to tho return of blood from the head, with its important organs, are not so well recognized. The peculiar form, or, more accurately, the several forms, of headacho distinctly caused Tri STiis way wlieiT the brad is long bowed forward on the chest, bending the neck on itself, cannot fail to oecur to everv one; nor will the high tension of the eyeball, the turgid ami heavy eyelids, the snuffling nose, the deafness, with buzzing or throbbing in the ears, the heavy breathing and the pulled and perhaps Hushed or darkened color of tho face, resulting from the obstructed venous circulation through the bended neck be forgotten. There are other and more perilous, though secondary, effects of leaning forward when the heart is weak or the blood vessels are not so strong as they ought to be. .which should not be overlooked. Beyond question tho extra strain thrown upon the apparatus of the circulation by anything that impedes the free passage of blood, through almost any part of the venous system, is more severe anil dangerous than a physically equal strain thrown on tho arteries. At ieasrthis so in adirtriife, "and witfr Old Kitchens. Spondlug a few weeks recently in an old country farm house, r e m a r k s a writer in The Practicfd Farmer, my attention was especially called to the fondness of the whole fain'.ly for the kitchen. Its smoke-darkened rnftors, with drying herbs depending from them hero aud there, its "brick oven1' aud fireplace, in front of which a modern stove sacrilegiously performs the daily cooking of tho family; the carefully kept chQst of drawers, tho closet ind cupboard, the old-fashioned, manypatterned chairs, the general air of quiet, simple comfort which pervaded the whole—all these made tho kitchen the favorite resort of us all. The mornings aud nights wore chilly, and some of the days, and at such times wo loved to g a t h e r in the kitchen, and, jilting by the pleasant windows, tell stories by thediour. The sweetness and cleanliness of some of these old kitchens put many a modern parlor to shnme. Perhaps some of the readers recall Mrs. Mary Clemmer's pleasant description of a kitchen. I nave thought of it many times lately. She says: "i im sorry for that woman who does not treasure in her heart somewhere the memory of a beloved kitchen. You can hardly be happier in lieaven than when you played on its floor a little child. I love such a kitchen; not the discarded one of a .tine villa but the honored kitchen of a thrifty farm house. It faces the east, and takes the sun's first good-morning. Thus its busiest hours are full of brighttiess, and its restful afternoons full of sereue light and peaceful shadows. Its wide doors open on a grassy yard, where 'the old oaken bucket hangs in the well.' What a yard it is! Its clover grass is a paradise for bleaching; irregular paths run t h r o u g h the dandelions down to the garden, whoso luscious vegetables offer a daily market for the ready hand, and out to the orchard, where the ruddy apples hang. There is an old lilac bush by one wiu- .iow, a sweet brier by the other, while morning-glory bells cluster about both. Beside one is a stand full of plants, wh'ch in the winter flourish in the morning sun. On its edge is a wotkbasket— a marvellous, basket—into whose depths I sometimes drive. through piles of stockings, through bundles and bags, through scissors and thimbles and pins, down to a needle hook (certain to be at the bottom, if only through looking), in whose sure to find a lire of domestic poems and editorials on the state of the nation. Beside ;t is a little old chair with a warm cushion. This is the mother's chair and the mother's corner, un\ not to be invaded. Then the old • kitchen has a deep lire-place, a vast bake oven and a modern stove. It has a great pantry, whose wide shelves are filled with glittering milk-pans, all set for cream; and a store-room,, in which you may lind everything for cheer, from the barrels of flour and sugar, the rows of sweetmeats, dear to every house wife's heart, Jo bunches of catnip hung up for the"cat, and peaiYyroyal enough for every stomach-aching baby in town. The old kitchen floor is painted a clear gray? brightened by gay home-made mats. It has a deepthroated clock, that rules its days; a book-rack tilled with books and newspapers, and colored prints on its walls. It has an arm-chair, a sewing-chair and a chintz-covered lounge.

Moiti.w. out. going further into details in connection with the modus operandi of the mischief to which we point, it may be permissible to urge that tho subject is one to which attention mav be usefully drrectod. The weakly aud those who are not unlikely to have hearts readly overburdened, and blood vessels stretched beyond recovery, or even ruptured, should be warned quite as earnestry- agnriist suddenly assuming or too long retaining postures which, however slightly and partially, impede the return of blood through the veins. We know how prolonged sitting may cause the veins of the legs to become distended, and either give way or permit tho extravasation of their contents. When this sort of thing happens, even though in comparatively trifling degree, in the case of vessels directly connected with such delicate organs as the eye, tho e a n a n d the brain, it is casv to see that the results may be verv- serious in their character, and probably few postures commonly taken up bv persons who lead some what sedentrv lives are so prone to do mischief unnoticed as thai of leaning forward, as at work at a table which is not sufficiently high to insure the head being so raised that the veins of the neck may not bo in any wav'comprcssed, or the return of blood from the head embarrassed or delayed. We see reason to believe that if this apparently small matter were generally understood there would by fewer head and heart troubles, and we will go so far as to say that some lives now lost would be saved, down with mild seventy on the chignons of their descendants.

Wyman, M. S. M. D., of Detro presented a valuable paper on **Tbe Medical Treatment of the Pauper," in which the subject was carefully an;' exhaustively treated. In speaking 01 the idiot* «u>d feeble-minded who form so large a proportion of our dependent population, he said: "About many o our poor houses are a large number o dependent people whose mental powersare too weak to enable them to earn then living in the world. They are seldou under the care of the doctor, and when Dr. Tulcott Describes that Has* Stricken Men. A tali, thin man seated on a long bench on a pretty lawn in front of a | large brick building. The- mau kept his hands in constant i motion, now pressed to his brow, now ! extended above his head. And all the j while he kept up a low conversation | with imaginary people, and the sound ; of his voice resembled the barking of a seal. Tho man wa sBarrley Campbell, and the huge building was tho state asylum tor .the insane at Middleton, N. Y., says the, Stw York Star. "is there any hope of his recovery?" was asked ot Dr. Tulcott. "None," was the reply. "When a man becomes a victim of paresis he his friends that be is preparing plwsf that will insure him an independent fortune in a short time. l i e indulges in the most extravagant purchases. Although at first irritable and restless, he soon assumes and extreme cheerfulness, v l f he stops to greet a neighbor it is with more than usual warmth. He tells you that he feels "first rate," and presses your hand with ardor, He leaves you so suddenly that you feel puzzled by his change of manner. Gradual^, but surely, the disease develops, and at last uomo tho clear, sharp symptoms of profound mental aberration. The paretic indulges in some sudden freak of violence, and his freuds are forced to place him under restraint Vi&ious of wealth, before wiiich the marvels of Aladdin's lamp appear insignificant, are conjured up BKM111BUKI0E8 OF JBWT LU1X '••*' * • they are, are distinguished for the 1 leaves all hope behind him." / ability to exhaust and wear out th* worst diseases, showing that whiln thc\ are weak and inferior mentally, the} possess a stock of vitality and determination to' live that ought to be madt available. They are employed at lighi labor about the farm, but there \> usually little systematic attempt to ge; work out of them. If the state should establish an asylum for idiots ant! 1 Remembering that John MoCul- \ lough, the tragedian, and others equal- ; ly prominent had suffered from the same disease which had siozed on Bart- ' ley Campbell, an explanation of parei sis was asked of the genial and kind- | hearted superintendent. I "Come into my office aud 1 will tell j YOU something of paresis,'1 said Dr. I Talcott j A few minutes later the reporter was seated in the cozy office of the doctor, leeble-minded persons these people ! ready to hear about this terrible dis would be ready to till up the institution, i ea*se- Vfc: • *•• '"> • !*.'•< V ''H' and then a systematic trial would b made to train them into usefulness. Bui the state may n-verestablish such an in stitution, and it appears to me that th' medical omeew- of poor houses could be induced tf taJfea. ttus class of parson iu hand and traett.theam to aid in caring for other mora ftUhy, isUirm and de pendesji paupers. I have seen a man i in osje of tike poor tames of this state " whoa© principal offence was denuding himself ^if Clothing and destroying it; whose Msjdfe were chained behiud him with hand-cuffs such as are used to control the most desperate criminals; h s face was bruised and bleeding b) striking against the bars of his cell; his t> dy the .seat of filthy undressed wounds o*»his own making his doihintr airy reeking with pus and putrid bloody filth, all because there was no one to properly watch and nurse him. In some counties in th s stale medical officers have trained many of these feeble-minded patients to care for such cases as the one I1 have cited, so that hand-cuffs and cells areas unnecessary as they are inhuman." By a recent decision of the United States circuit court of Wisconsin, women in that state have a ri^ht to vote in all city elections. About three years ago a bill was introduced in the , state senate giving women the ri^ht to vote "at all elections pertaining to school matters." In the customary '- slip-shod way the bill was hurried through both houses under the impression that it simply authorized wbmen to vote for school officers, a measure which nearly everybody approved of. The bill was then submftte i to the people and having received a majority 3f tin votes east became a law. An.i —thaw raaafl the surprise which was probably lorseaaby the man who drew - e>p the bUL A t the municipal elections last s p r i n g 4 large number of women slalmed / ¾ ^ rigfct to vote for mayor, controller and members of tho common :;outricil on the ground that the words of the act, "all elections pertaining to school matters"referred to such officers. A test case was made up for the circuit court which has sustained the wotnen. And so Jo it^intense surprise >yisconsin_ finds that it h a s without knowing it, given the ballot to women. The law cannot be repealed except bv a popular vote and as the women have a right to vote on the question they have the matter entirely in their own hands. The women suffragists of Wisconsin think very highly of the word "pertainmg" which has given i.hem their victory. by the overwrought Imagination of the excited paretic He is a maker of worlds—uot for financial purposes, but merely for the sake of employment He forgets familiar names—evqn his own. Oeoassioually a person in this stage becomes a kleptomaniac and is unusually sly and cunning. Thou ho passed into the chronic stage, which is marked by a steady exaggeration of all the physical indications and a gradual subsidence of the delusions which have been cherished. An unsteadiness of gait is now pronounced; there is tremulousness of Jips tongue, a hesitancy of speech, and tho face loses its lines of intelligence and assumes a fat, flabby, expressionless contour, and in manner and speech there is a marked decadence of physical and mental powers. The appetite and thirst at this stage become enormous, and an increase in Uesh is noticeable. The progress of the chronic state is at last interrupted Vy convulsions, and the paretic loses ground rapidly;' The mind fails and the conditions of dementia supervene. The physical strength wanes and the body emaciates. The skin breaks out in eruptions. "Then," said D r / T a l c o t t , "the patient takes to his bed, and this is followed by bed soNjfl. The patient often clings to life for weeks after tho frail thread that holds him seems eaten away to the last frail fiber. Yet he "Can not medical treatment conquer j persists in KVing. It is one of the rethis paresis?" t markable features of tliis disease that "Never, according to history,' doe* the patient continues to live long after "Paresis," said Dr. Talcott, "is a markea t> pe of those grave forms of mental disturbance so common in our day, nud which are the direct outgrowth of an unwise expenditure of nerve forces through the various channels of overwork and dissipation." "What aro the causes of the disease?" "Hyper-stimulation of the brain and nervous system by various means, chiefly hard drinking, excessive indul- | genco, and over-application to business of an absorbing and exciting nature. There are few casos where rum, women, or overwork, oue ore all combined, do not figure largely as exciting euases." paresis yield up its hold. It is a deep seated, far-reaching, intractable scourge, which fastens its malignant fangs upon the brains of its victims and, unlike Tiny other serious disease, jit never yields." "Is it not generally spoken of as •softening of the brain?'" "That is the vulgar term applied to paresis. It is known under various names, the most common of which are: General paresis, general progressive paralvsis, general paralysis of tho insane, mania de grandanr and dementia paralyticus. Tho latter term might be more strictly applied to the last itage of the disease, while the others aro appropriate, through all its stages." "What a<*e tho stages of paresis?" "First/ the irritable stage; second, tho welkletined or stage of hective delusions of grandeur; third, the stage of subsidence, or that of subacute or chronie— mauv - a n d fourth, the stage of dementia, failure, and .death."

But with the last -articulate breath of life tho dying man, corrugating his countenance into a ghastly smile, will reply to your inquiry as tb how he feels with the stock expression: "First rate." "And once stricken with paresis, a patient never recovers?" queried the reporter. "I beleve that no well-authenticated ease, where it lias been fully developed and where no doubt could exist as to the diagnosis, has been placed on record as fully recovered and hus continued so for five successive years. The patient often appears to mend, and will, in fact, go for months with very few of the outward signs of the disease, but sooner or later the storm which has experienced a temporary lull will rise again and move on with resistless fury.'' After passing through the chronic stage," continued the doctor, "the patient's strength aud physical health mav be long preserved by abundant outdoor exercise."

"General paresis is generally found in the robust and over dissipated man of early prime or middle age. With strong bodies and active, even though uncnltivatcd, brains, these men seize with consuming avidity upon the hard yfork of tho sinful pleasures of the world. That they break down in the middle prime of life, is due simply and Bolely to tho consumption of wasting of both principal and interest of their nerve capital."

It is particularly prevalent in seaport towns.

He seems pro-occupied in his thoughts, even to abstraction, and then again he is huvried, nervous, and fidgety.

Even in this early stage of paresis ho will be engaged in "greater business projects than ever before and will spread his financial canvass to its fullest capacity. In th s particular, under the influence of approaching disease, ho differs from tho ordinary bus ness man, who, though bold, will manifest at least ordinary prudence in the affairs of life. "At this juncture the paretic informs save the shattered fragments of a wreck. People must refrain from those formidable dissipations whoso feet tako hold on destruction, whose bite is like that of an adder, and whose final result is a hopeless chamber and deathbed within the walls of an insane asylum. "The cares and nflTctions of ordinary life, the affl ctions of disease, the hereditary weakness which come down to us from our ancestors, all bring to institutions for the insane, their quota of suffering victims; but many of these may be in time returned to renewed hoalttrand; a life of-ttsefttlness. &ut-forhim who, through alcoholic stimulants and excosses, progresses to paresis, there aro no more cheering words than those engraved upon tho portaVs of Dante's "Inferno."—"Who enters here leaves hope behind." ~ - How They Make Farmers in Denmark. Young men are apprenticed to the best farmers all over the kingdom for two or thieo years under tho oversight of tho Royal Agricultural Society. They work for good farmers for one year as learners, receiving a small sum besides their board and lodging. At the end of a year the apprentice is removed to a farm in a distr ct where a different kind of agricultural books at tho outset which become his property upon the com plot on of the three years. The apprentices report to the society at intervals, and from these reports and larsiiiy even to a I ulhut ifteonls where they havo worked. the society judges of their progress and grants diplomas accordingly. The young men thus get thorough knowledge of all practical farming, but they have to work for it, as thev are ai hard labor from 4 a. m. until 7 p. m., except tho meal hours. Tho socoty has started the system of apprenticing young mon in the best dairies for throe months instead of three years. Nearly 1,()00 youths have thus been educated nnd received diplomas. The system has far outgrown tho society's control, and notf nearly every large farm and dairy has s e v e n ! apprentices nccopted and trained by pr.vato agreement— Fmn and Home. ttaraaifft>» R«colleetlou of «h« •wad- Is* Xtffbttngata'a Tint Appaaraaoa In Tbto Country—A Famous Mil: w a u k a e Oricantaatlon. "I was not surprised to hear of Jonny Liud's death," said Phioeas Taylor Barnuw, the prince of showmen, when called upon by a <Afew York Herald reporter. He received a private dispatch from Otto GokUchmidt, Jonny Liud's husband, Mortou (Jrarden*. London, England, announcing the once-famous nightingale's demise, and at once cabled a reply, iu which he said: "I, who knew the peerleBs Jenny Lind in private life as well as In public, as u woman and as an artist, appreciate the gruatnesM of your loss. Accept tho sympathy of your old friend." "I brought Jenny Liud to this ooUntry at a great risk," cont nued the veteran shomau, "and in spite of many predictions of failure and financial disaster. She had, as everyone almost knows, a great reputation before she .came here aud she was, moreover, voty rich—worth at least $1,000,000. Htor success is a matter of history. "1 remember my first meeting with the famous songstress. It was on Sunday morning, Sept 1. 1850. on board the steamer Atlantic, at quarantine, where I/slept all night in tho residence of Dr. A. S. Doane, then the health officer. " A f t e r a few moments' conversation with her she asked me whore I had heard her sing. 'I never had the pleasure of seeing you before iu my life,' I replied. 'How is it possible that you dared risk so much money on a person whom you never heard sing?" she answered, in surprise, i risked it on your reputation, which, in musical matters, 1 would much rather have than my own judgment,' I answered. Although 1 relied upon Jenny Liud's reputation as a great musical artiste, 1 also took largely into my estimate of her success with all classes of the Ameriean public her character for extraordinary benevolence and generosity. Without tins peculiarity iu her disposition I mwer would have dared make the engagement whleh I did. "Jennv Liud's character for benevolence became so generally known that her door was besot by persons asking charity, and sho was" in receipt, while in the principal cities, of numerous letters all on the same subject. I know of many instances in wh.ch she ^ave sums of money to applicants van in" from $20, $50, and $500 to $1,000, and once she gave $5,000 to a Swedish friend. Jennie was in the habit of attending church whenever she could do so without attracting notice. She always preserved 'her nationality and always attended Swedish churches whenever they could be found. She irave $1,000 to a Swedish church in Chicago. While in Baltimore my daughter Caroline, who was mistaken for Jenny, went to church and sang in tho choir. What an exquisite singer!' •Heavenlv sounds!' 'I never heard the like!' nnd similar expressions wore whispered through tho church. "Jenny Lind weut into ecstasies over Daniel Webster during her reception at Washington, at. which tho president, members of the cabinet, and others were pivM-nt. I had previously introduced her to Webster in Hoston. He was e;tiTir<l away fyy her singing. At the row pi on he groetod her by rising, drawing himself up to his full height and making a profound how. 'Ah, Mr. Barnum,' she exclaimed enthusiastically, 'that is a .man! I nevor before have seen such a man.' "I remember very distinctly how Jenny played a joke on me. or, rather, taught me a lesson. We were, 1 think, in Philadelphia. Mam ladies called to be introdneed to hor. but Hhe preferred not to see them, as sho looked upon them as curiosity-seekers. A lady friend of mine called, and after much argument I succeeded in introducing her. Jennv laughingly said, T shall be delighted to see her.' But her manner and face suddenly changed when she snid-she-did- not know -what-to-sayto ray friend, and expressed the hope that I would refrain in -future from introducing those seeking a chance to shako 'Jenny' by the hand. And I did so. '""x "Afnnny incident, involving Horace Greelev, occurred upon Jenny's arrival in New York. She was received atthe Irving house that stood at the northwest corner of Broadway and Chambers street. Greeley came over with his trousers tucked into his boots and wearing his proverbial light-colored overcoat. He started to remove his overcoat, when a friend said: 'Don't; it will destroy your idenity.1 So hu wore it to the room where Jenny was, and after an introduction she said: •! have heard so much about that overcoat that I wouldn't known you without i t "Jenny L'nd gavo tho ninety.five concerts while in this country, and the r«cnlpt4 Goldsmith.* Q»mm mmfem^St pianist" < •'"•' r- ' Tha death of J w » y Ii*»V * * • *W* waukte Earning rKwwu^riraoaUa to the minds ot old settlers tha J Lind club, a Milwaukee sootaJ or aation which went out of emiateaoe more than a quarter of a century a{ro, but which at one time bad an lnnaaaee that was supposed to extend throughout the state. On Sept 20, ISM, tha steamer Empire Bute left Milwaukee for Buffalo. A party of nine gentlemen got aboard here with the intentioa of going east to hear the Swedish nightingale sing in Castle Garden, and on that trip they resolved themselves into the Jenny Lind club. The club was composed of wlilgs and democrats and men who were prominent in professional and business oirclas of thai day. The party consisted of Judge Levi Hubbell, George H. Walker. Alex* ander Mitchell, Rufus King, Norman J. Emmons, James S. Brown, Tbomst*v«W Ogden, Dr. J. K. Bartlett, of this; «H& and M. M. Strong, of Racine. $ b e party must have enjoyed the trip down the lakes, for on arriving at Buffalo a card appeared in one of the Bnftalo papers, stat ug that they bad never experienced more pleasure in tbe ,Jrip than while on the Empire 8f*t*> About an soon as they not to New York they went to GenniD, the hatter, who paid $'225 for first choice of the seats at the owning night, to buy Jenny Lind hats. Owing to the excessive demand for hats of that kind, only eight hats were in slock, and so one of the club was disappointed, although history do*s not say whioh oue it was. At the coucort "the party occupied a conspicuous place in the parquet near tho tenter, in front and wera the observed of all observers, especially- the lord mayor." ThC latter was tho portlv Col. Walker. While thev were in New York they went to witness the sailing of the steamer Pacific upon a trial trip to Liverpool. Alexander Mitchell. Rufus King, and George H. Walker were in the crowd of five hundred persons on a shed on the dock. As the steamer backed out she struck the shed and broke it, precipitating sixty persons into the water, among them Mayor Goorge H. Walkor, who escaped with a few bruises. He was sa badly hurt, however, that he did not return with the party, when they journeved homeward, early in October. When the Jenny Lind club returned home, the members had become so attached to each other thnt they kept up their organization, and used to have banquets at Benjamin B. Bolden's restaurant, No. 2 Grand avenue. Several gentlemen whose, individuality has become obscured by tradition, but who included capitalists, a divine, i and lawyers, afterward became mem- J Rers of the club. Of the original members only a few are living now. Among the well-known people, living and dead, who ore reputed to have been members of the club are Hans Crocker. Don. A. J. Upham, William P. Lvnde, J"ohn H. Tweedy, and Jonathan £. Arnold. The meetings of the club were supposed to have powerful political significance in the sixth decade. Socially thev wero enjoyable events. The late Justice E. G. Ryan, in his famous argument before the state senate on the occasion of the Judge Hubbell impeachment trial, made an attack on the club, on account of its alleged political machinations, which is even now some* . times referred, to as ono of the most vigorous pieces of denunciatory oratory over hoard in Wisconsin.

Bishop Harris of Detroit has raised a tempest in catholic circles by his address before the Evangelical alliance in session in Washington, criticising the Roman catholic church. He said that the catholic church was a financial success, but a charitable failure, which sent costly gifts to a foreign pope. This emphasized the previous charges of Bishop Coxe that Jesuitism was contrary to American institutions and consulting a Roman pope was un-American. Father Chappelle, the most eloquent ollc priest of the national capital, anted Bishop Harris in vigorous terms. church was crowded in anticipation of controversy. He emphatically denied charges of Bishop Harris, and declared catholics were among the moat loyal ricans. Instances were given of catholic devotion to country during the war, Ml appeal to you, fellow catholics," he said. "Are you not ready to obey the v constitution' Are you not as loyal as protestant fellow citi/.ens.' What do these accusations of want of patriotism mean.1" He closed by showing how the catholic hospitals, homes and asylums were helping civilization fully as much and more than similar protestant institutions. > Arensdorf Acquitted.

As we are informed in regard to the matter, Mr. Winans was assisting in getting his hogs together for market, when he slipped upon the icy ground, and struck with such force on the flat ot his hand as to bend the fingers over upon the back of that member, throwing several of the fingers so badly out of place that the joints at "the palm protruded through the flesh. He, however, exercised good sense and nerve in at once putting the tinkers back in joint, and not allowing his hand to badly swell while seeking medical assisf, n,n<>e h^fnre_jjiat distressing operation was performed.

Many long beaded politicians expre** the belief that tbe Pi esident's course on the only rial vital issue of tbe day will cause a new alignment of parties in the next Presidential struggle, and one ot tbe most exciting contests in tbe history of the country. Mr. Blaine's swift criticism of tbe message is practically regarded as a declaration of his own candidacy lor tbe Presidency as the champion ot the protection principle. It is thought here that tbe calling of tbe National Republican Convention at Chicago was due to tbe Blaine influence, and that it foreshadows his renomination. Cougress was organized quietly, and in a manner becoming tbe dignity of that body on its centennial anniversary, despite the bloodshed in the Democratic caucus and the anticipations ot a deadlock IU tbe Senate—tbe only interruption being from a religious enthusiast, who, at the moment of most intense silence in the House, chanted the doxology in a plaintive solo, greatly to the amusement of fully 5000 spectators; the poor man was cared for by tbe police, but be succeeded in favoring the President with the dame tune at his reception. As usual on such occasions, many ot the d^sk* were burdened with beautiful floral favors, the gifts of admirinf friends. Only brief sessions otOmfitim were held tbe past week, aw ttoewMntftees have not yet been foriritoi;. jtypeaber Carlisle says thai he hopes to fetjiM* to announce tbe House committees before the holiday recess; bnt be has a very difficult task before him, for there are about 125 new members to place. It is a remarkable fact that two thirds of the chairmen of the House Committees ot the last Congress were decapitated by their constituents. ~ A plausible reason for these changes is that the importunate Congressmen, m dividing the spoils, did not have enough offices to distribute; and so many familiar faces are missing from the places that will probably know them no more forever. Tbe only Committee yet ^appointed in either House or Senate is the^CpmmiUeeon Mileage ot the House, which, as fa» as circumstances would permit, is the same as formerly, and this is rather an indication that, as far as practicable, the Speaker means to reappoint tbe same old committees. Tbe bitterness engendered among the Democrats over tbe Doorkeepership fight has brought to light allegations that both Donelson and Wintersmith, late incumbents of that ofliceT'arendHt3irrfcers,~ and--it is whispered about tbe capitol corridors that the Republicans will introduce a resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate tbe accounts of these officials. It is believed that the nominations of Lamar for Associate Justice of the •-Supr^me..CQurti_yiIas_tor Secretary of the Interior, and Dickinson tor Postmaster General, will be confirmed without difficulty by tbe Senate. The Evangelical Alliance of the United States, embracing 2000 delegates, and numbering among its membership many of the most eminent divines of the country, held its session in the Capital tbe past week, and the occasion was a- season of glorious spiritual edification to thousands ot Christian believers whose privilege it was to attend these meetings. One of the most pleasant erpnts oi the meeting oi the Alliance was tbe President's reception of the organi- I . W 7 : ; Bra e Up.

But, for the goo I know it must have done, I staiamy steps, meditating on what its story might be, when there came a rustling am ng its dry branches, and a voice seemed to come in answer to my thoughts And these were the words: My home was away out yonder where the white fields meet the mountain I can't tell how many years my brothers and i spent playing; with the Storm King and whist ing m glee at his fiercest blasts. But there came a time in our lives when all was changed. An unknown en my captured us and we were transported to the pavement of a busy stirring city. From the groups of chattering children about us we learned our mission The spirit of the crowd seemed imparted to us and we were happy. Bat with the gladness camo pride, and with pride, dissension. Our merits were discussed so often in our hearing that we took up the subject, and at times the debate became so animated that our "iinrbrroatlett with anger.—^I-*na-finer than you!" "My limbs are fuller!1' ••My form is more perfect 1" were heard so often that 1 wonder any of us were chosen to bear the gifts that should convey peace and good will. Finally one b f o u r members, wiser than the others, proposed that the matter should come to an end. None of us could iudge correctly of our own merits. The only way was for each to perform the duties that t ,e strong poster- should -lay. upon, us. A'* r.L,:v A and then after the work was completed, the festivities ended, we should meet together, and eaoh telling his <£wh story, the good accomplished should be the criterion of merit. So our contentions ceased. I had no pride. Mad frolics with the wind when I was too young to know my strength, an ugly chip from a boy's knife, and the persistent crowding of an imperious tree, combined to stun my growth, and so marred my beauty that i wondered mjself at being brought with my companions.

I mean to give it to you. And see here, my boy," and his face just glowed when he said this, "is it a little ^sister that is to be made happy with that unsightly thing? Well, come in some time when you are at leisure. 1 see you are a man of business and we will talk the thing over, and may be find some thing about the store to make vour tree less ugly!" The boy said "thank you, but his voice was so queer that I looked up and found tears in his frank eves. "Tut! tut! mv man,'1 said the jolly grocer, "that will never do. Shoulder your tree and march off." •*I must carry :uy papers first." "All right! No danger of any one stealing it, and I'll be sure and not sell it!" And so it came about that I fell into the hands of Tim Morrison, was carried homo and stored in an unoccupied room of the tenement house that sheltered the boy, his widowed mother and little invalid sister After Nellie was asleep, Tim and his mother brought in the light and looked at me. •How beautiful!" said the mother, "and how good of you to think of it! It makes me as happy as it will Nellie when Christmas eve comes and she finds what a brother's kindness has brought her." "That is an ugly twist in the tree there. Mr. Delano said that was the reason no one woul i buy it. But do you know 1 thought, in a minu e. that we would have t down in Auntie Burke's room, and that we would put this bare side close to the wall, and that crook would just fit around the bend in her chimney!" And so my mission had really commenced, and i began to think that my illy shaperi form was worth enduring, even though it had been given me only to fit around a chimney. Such talks as mother and son had over me in that deserted room! Such planning_lo. make^rnjach ojat of little, and little from no hing! It really"made my heartache, and I longed to be something more than a tree-something h u - man, that I might aid these loving workers. Sometimes my branches woukt stir with emotion. But they never mistrusted it. The mother's eyes grew brighter, as, wrapped in a shawl, she sat beside me sewing after' little Nollie had fallen asleep. Her face would, sometime* wear aryoimger-lookr as though she were living over again her girlhood's days. And once when she Sad finisheda cloth doll and dressed it in some garments she had made, she smiled and I heard her singing softly some old fashioned air. "Won't Nellie be happy, mother?'* Tim kept saying as he worked away at a oradle he was shaping for the wonderful doll. "Indeed she will and so will you. and, I!" , It would be impossible for me to tell you the gladness that came to these people from the veriest trifle.. Auntie Burke entered into the scheme ashcartlaughedrj ily as did Tim and his mother; and, though poor herself, she brightened her room to make ready for the coming festival, and gave of her small store most willingly. —"Dless the child, little suffererer that derful news that his weekly wages had been raised twenty-five cents, and, it being Christmas time, he had been paid for the week just ended. "Oh, mamma, may I spend just this? You know we have got along and we can just a little longer." The words "Yes, my boy," were hardly spoken, when the lad seized his cap and rushed off to a "five cent store" where he was soon busily engaged looking over the holiday goods displayed upon its counters. So much money must be used judiciously, and a full hour pa-ssed before he returned and placed in his mother's lap a toy dishpan, a box of cooking utepsils, a slate, a bright apron and a child's goblet There were tears in the mother s eyes that night as she stowed away these treasures in the room where I was watching and listening, and as she bent over her boy and kissed him. I heard her say: "You are getting so like papa. Tim!" And he threw both arms about her and replied: "I am going to be just like him one of these days, little mother, and then you shan't w c r k o r know anything about care and trouble!" J t n * * • * * The afternoon of the day before Christmas found all the preparations complete. The principal work was accomplished the evening before, so as not to arouse Nel ie's cur osity, but Tim had so many alterations to make that he kep; busy long after the others declared the work touiplete. Time slipped on until Tim's step at the door informed me that the surprise was soon to be. Lamps were lighted, my covering was removed, and full in the light I stood, ready to fulfill my mission of gladness. Tim» with glowing face, came first, bearing a little rocking chair, and just behind, his mother with a mite of a girl in her arms. Unfolding the shawl that was wrapped about her, they placed the child in her chair before me, and then, turning up the lights that, all my gifts might be seen at once, mother, broraer and- friend stepped back and listened for the first words the child should utter. I. alone, could see her face as she raised her eyes and looked at me. Surprise, gladness, love, all mingled, * transformed the child's countenance into that of an angel. Not a word did she utter for a moment Closing her eyes, tears rolled down her eeks. The first emotion having spent itself, the child was herself again, ancTexclaimed: . _ , — , - ^ - - - - "What a dear, good Santa Claw, a n > l ™ ™ » « * h*s tried something of -this kind, I how I love him!" ^-^ \ U D d e r *U n d » w'th great success, in the "work- Tim was her rca y assista'ht, and, j lataraettn* Veatarae ef t h e Heeeat Botha^blld YVaddln* 1» P a r i * There have been attacks on the prefecture of police^for letting the BotatcbUde and their relatives, friends, and acquaintances block up la Hue de 1* VJctoire on the occasion of the Rothschild-Bassoon wedding. I sujppose says Th$ London Truth, sobod j has a etroager or deeper horror of toadyism than your humble servant, wboec tarst feeling in too prtteuee at B money-bag causes an immediate stiffenine: of the neck and a critical state of mind. Bat, while I turn with disgust from the nauseous tatterr In which a lot of the Paris paper* dealt oo the occasion ot this wedding, I think the prefecture of police la to be commended for helping to make things smooth In the street before the synagogue for the bridal party. It's a good thing for all to appear to rejoice with ihose wbo do re)olct. 1 believe that If the daughter of ray wont enemr were leaving his bouse a bride that I khould—this feeling la to strong in me—fling roses before her and old slippers behind. The Rothschilds maj bave small claims to sympathy outside of tbelr own family, aod but little claim to admiration, I kuow that mauy will have it that it is impossible for thein to have made all their milliards honestly, or that It Is, on the whole better for the world that tbev made them; uod they contend that they might, seeing what their wealth is, and seeing how pleased human betaus wbo ought to kuow better ure to adore the wealthy, do more with It Personally I wonder that they are half as good as they arc, sad I really believe that Baroaes Alphouse does her best to bring some of the reality which doin^ good produces Into Iter life. The ladies of the family, 1 may here say, are aud bave been generally, iu most resoccts superior to the numerous barons, of which the male part of it is formed. Mmc. Gustavo Rothschild, whose daughter has just become Mrs. Albert Edward Bassoon, has many points In which she re> nembles the Alsatian Jewesses described b> Erckmann-Chatriun. Her worst fault is osteutatlon, aud as she does not know how to choose her friends unless directed by some outward sign, she baa sometimes peaches that are speckled, and even badly spotted, around her. Of course, in a city like Paris one must not try to fill one's salons with ex roaierea wbo have become honest matrons; but the line, perhaps, mlirbt be drawn at women now elderly who go on flinging their bonnets above the windmllL The lady who locked up her brother In a mad-house with the design of keeping him from legitimatizing his children, and so adding ills fortuue to iter own already large one, looked like a bird of evil omen at this wedding. Spectators were taken with the bride. 81ie ic a fine ertri—tali, easily erect, very well built,,and, I should say, jolly. Some might tblnk her handsome. The Russian diadem which she wore gave an original stamp to her lace, satin, aud orange-blossoms, I think, by the bye, that these flowers should not be made to serve as a bolayaue as well as to ornament the head and corsage. Quite a thick border of them ran along the edge of the skirt and train, where It touched the ground. Four thousand invitations were issued. The bearers of about two thousand got into the synagogue, which was Joyous)T floral and verdant. A dense gathering of Jewish gentlemen on one side, with their chimney-pel hats on tbeir heads, spoiled everything wjksa the company assembled. Turbans shounl fee obiigatoire at a Jewish wedding. The modeVe hat is hideously oat of taue wltborlehtal protiles and surroundings. I noticed in« the bride'* party that dresses, hand embroidered on the tabllers and other parts with gold, were numerous, and they were certainly handsome. The instinct of the Jewess leads her to prerer rich dress to the Jla-tla loVely to-day and frightful to-morrow, which Is dear to the Parisienne. I only hear good of the Bassoons, and I thought the face of the bridegroom pre* possessing. The harps of Zion have lost none of their old magic This woddlog was trolv ft musical festival Fa ure and Felix Levy surpassed themselves in the vocal parts, and the choruses of children aud the orchestra of stringed instruments were celestial The London Unemployed. As for giving state employment in London to all who ask for It, it is simply impossible, says The London Truth, Food, raiment, and lodging everyone is entitled to by law wbo is without the means of providing them for himself. Beyond this it is impossible that any state can go, for Jt would be ruined if it did. Relief works are desirable to meet any temporary distress; but I utterly deuy the doctrine that the state Is bound to provide work for all who can not find It for themselves. For centuries, the tendency has been for tver.vone wbo has nothing to drift to London. In the reign ot Elizabeth and of her predecessors, enactments were perpetually being made to stemJMsattractlon to the metropolis. It has increased since then, and~^increasing every year; whilst many industrial enterprises which heretofore flourished In the nehrhborhood of London have betaken themselves elsewhere. If work were found for erery man now in London, in a fortnight there would be as many here out of work as there Is now. ^ The best suggestiou that the "unemployed" demonstration has evoked Is one offered by Mr. Barnett, of St. Jude's, Whkechapel. This is that rural boards of guardians should be empowered to take-vacant farms near their \ work houses, and that the bona-flde nnemp^ oyed should be set to woric on tnera—of courser on *ork houw terms.

Notwithstanding the customs dues, Ensrlish makers were able to keep up an active competition in locomotives, steam engines and other machinery. As fur as agricultural Implements were concerned, the protective duties of neighboring State*, and especially Austria and Russiaprevented an exoort trade, and makers of (hi* class of goods were forced to try and obtain a market at borne, the result being that the supply was far In excess of the demand. &*|: :*?a »-&• • > ' , • •i-.ia •-?:• 1 :'H'' M 4 •'•••nfj • • • ' ' ^ ^ rl T ? - : <' ft it I* upon prices.

Wo&hio^too, Dec. 28. 1887. ft w a s really* an impressive spectacle in the House of Representatives, wben Speaker Carlisle showed bis sense of fairness, and bis appreciation of t h e proprieties, by voluntarily ret i r i n g from the chair and calling upon t h e members to relieve him ot the responsibility of appointing the Com mittee on Elections, to pass upon thf Various contested cases, his own ineladed. , T h e House complied with the request, and this Committee, ad lately constituted is considered the strongest in years—Mr. Crisp ol Georgia b-iny Chairman. It is quite probable, fot obvious reasons, that th*3 Carii-JB— Thobe case will be the first one disposed of but none of them are likely to be taken u p until some time after the holiday recess, which is to be from the 23rd inst. u i t i l tbe4th prox. For the first time during the session the proceedings of the House were in - livened the past week by a political discussion on the tariff, in which there was some sharp sparring between Messrs. Reed, Hatch, and Cox. The passage between the gentleman from Maine and the gentleman from New York, recalls their witty sallies of the past, when tli.jy so often turnisbed merriment for t h t i r colleagues, and t h e frequenters of the o-allene^. Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, who is one of the tew privates from the South in Congress, has also come to the front as OIKof the wits of the House, and theae t h r e e are expected to keep on hand a fresh stock of fun to be given out occasionally, as the members can stand it, during the whole >>es»ion. The usual pressure tar choice assignments on rommi trees i-i ba in^ brought to bear on the Speaker, mm-h j of bis time, when he desires to I ».• ] otherwise engaged, b^ing con-mru'd | m such importunities.

Sunshine or even a strong light renders them flabby and flavorless. Perishable fresh vegetables ought to be eaten the day they are picked. Nothing Is known of their "true inwardness" by the city denizen who buys them from a corner grocer or huckster. Like every other kind of food, the toothsomeness of vegetables depends on tbe perfection of cooking. Failure consists in their being underdone or over-done, under'seasoned or over-seasoned, and in being served half cold. So't water should be used In boiling or stewing whenever practicable. Cooked quickly in just enough watar to cover them, their delicacy of flavor will be preserved. As soon as vegetables are thoroughly done, not a moment before, they should be taken from the Are and served in hot dishes. By the time thuv are on the plates they will be cool enough. Fresh vegetables are best cooked In boilng water and Halted when half done. Dried vegetables: on ;ht to be sonked, sometimes twelve boors or more, as is the case with beans and peas. Roots or tubers need paring or scraping, and soaking a couple of hours before they are put on to cook, especially in the latter part of the Winter when they have become wilted. In regard to the length of time required for cook ng. no rule can l>e given. Il varies with different states of tbe atmosphere, as well as with the cond ton of tbe vegetables. Roughly stated, half an hour ia long enough to cook the tender. Summer vegetables, to which add fifteen minutes for the cooking of most roots.

The senate of the Michigan University have adopted a memorial tribute to their late colleague, Dr. Alonzo B. Palmer, who had served the university with distinguished ability for more that thirty tive years. He had a, large influence in shaping the general policy of the medical department, and contributed very materially to its unbroken success; and it was his rare good fortune to sec the college which had started as a feeble organization, limited in patronage an i weak in influence and power, steadily develop into one of the largest and most prominent of thejmedical colleges of the country, and to realize that he could with strict justice assume no little credit for his efforts in contributing to this end. In the literature of medicine Dr. Palmer contributed many fugitiveessays of interest and value. Besides these he published '"Lectures on Homeopathy11 in permanent book form and a textbook for schools entitled, "Temperance Teachings of Science," which has had a wide circulation. As the crowning work of his life he published m two large octavo volumes a complete treatise on • The Theory and Practice of Medicine.'' In preparation for this work Tie was many years collecting materials, aud iust previous to the immediate work <>t composition he spent over a year in Europe in the colleges and hospitals, to avail himself of the most recent advance in medical science and art. \ will remain a monument to his indu>try, his ability and his devotion to duty, and his intensu desire to aiil in the ad vane • of the study and work of his life -practical medicine. The esteem in which his ability and attainments were held by his brethren in the profession is indicated by the fact that in the International Medical Congress, which recently me^ at Washington, he occupied thn important position of chairman of the section of Pathology, and in that^capacity gave an address in the general session of congress, and in the American Mediea' Association he held at the time of his death the office of chairman of the see tion on the Practice of Medicine. Mrs. Hendricks, widow of the late vice-president, has gone to Californ « to visit the Hendricks placer mine, four and a half miles above Oroville. on which the vice-president spent $100,000 in mprovements, building, among other thiugn, a lluine over forty miles long. Just as he got this completed the ami debris law passed the California leg slature and the mine had to he shut down. Mrs. Hendricks, however it i> stated, has no idea of letting the property lapse There are 12,000 acres in the tract, and this ha> grown in recent year-; to he quite valuable. She now intends to make, a thorough evamina lion of it ami decide whether or not she will ptlant some of it. in citrus frniN . Before his death Mr. Hendricks had planned extensive improvements of hihome and grounds in Indianapolis, and these, during the last year, Mrs. Hendr. cks has carried out. She will remain in California till about February I. when she will return to Indianapolis to be. present at a meeting of the board of the Indiana state prison reformatory, of which institution she lias been pre - iilent for fourteen years. Mrs. Hen dricks is said to have admirable business judgment and good executive ability. The mines which she owns above Oro ville have yielded at one time and another since T8T9 between two ami three million dollars JILTED. The day's depressing hours have passed, And gathering in the gloom of eve, M.v fainting hopes seem dying fast; I, kneeling, pray, t o aak b u t leave To nob my life uwuy in tears. If God would Htil! ray aching heart And turn thy heart to me in thought, ° I'd pierce thy love as by a dart, I'ntil within thy pain thou sought My comfort and my teare. Ah' weary in the heurt t h a t sighs — A lirkk-to love unkissed— Whoso living hopes eternal cry, Whom tears, like, sens of mist, Jhi.sli IOIKI thy love's lone grave. ^ - ( i i u c K Hicxnuusoif. The Last of the Cragshaw^, New York Graphic. Poor, sickly, homely Lois Cragshaw was twenty-three years old when her mother died. She was twenty-live oh the very day t h a t her unkind old lather left her an orphan—an o r p h a n without friends—and the last of t h e New England Cragshaws. It was on Sunday t h a t he died. He was buried on Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon Lois Cragshaw walked away from the lonely house t h a t was hers now down the r o a d to the village. She walked rapidly, as if with a set purpose and her lips worked as if her mind was busy with words t h a t were uoon to be spoken. She met those t h a t knew her, but she did not see them, nor did she seem to feel the looks of wonder and of disapproval bent on her by those who had seen her standing t h a t very morning, mute, tearless and unmoved by her lather's open grave.• She passed them all unheeding by. Her steps quickened even more, a n d the color rose t o her cheeks us with oiif who nears his end. Her b r e a t h (7i rue fast as she sprang up the steps of the little brown shop t h a t was really the only dollar-mark of the village.

" One by one the waiting people, served or satisfied with much* staring, turned away and gave to the next his lawful rights. Some, it is true, went no further t h a n t h e doorway, where they stopped to talk in low tones a n d with many glances a t Lois, but this the brown old ..man who waited on them seemed to u n d e r s t a n d and symno heed once to She" d-id. lixed on ie s t a r t e d m u c h 1 * 8 1 0 ^ " ^ ^ ^ ! t P r e t t 7 !

He bent forward to look more closely in the dusky corner at what the shelf contained. " T h a t 1 ' ' said Louis again, as if he had not heard her. A tear came into t he eye of the kind old man as lie rememm-n d what folks had said of her mot tier :u years gone past. And he said to himself: " P o o r Lois! Her wits are gone, too. sure enough." " T h a t ! said Lois Cragshaw, leaning over the stained and whittled counter. "Yes, yes, Lois,'* gently spoke the awt-d shop-keeper with an air of lightness he was far from feeling. " B u t there's more'n one ' t h a t ' here! Which ' t h a t' w o u 1 d y e h a v e ?" "The red o n e , " she said. "The red one next the blue one! Oh. d o n ' t ye see?" "* "Yes.indeedy, indeeay!

Carefully turning his back upo n her lie rubbed the covers of a small red book with his big ginham handkerchief, then slowly turned and gave it t o her. She was waiting, one h a n d outstretched, the fingers twitching. In the other hand was the purse she h a d n o t forgotten, so strong was her desire for possession. The gaping neighbors gasped as they saw the old s t r a p - ped wallet, into which so m a n y had paid the r a n s o m from a s h a r p ' bar- "n.in, h u t from—whi^h r>^nft r^nU\ ro t e a r s it tall it! With the kiss, the fiist her lips had formed in years, the old Lois Cragshaw died.

No more t h a n t h a t , but t h a t was much. She did not cry out. She did not faint. She did not think.

With a glad heart and singing lips she began her t a s k s , and first almost, was the prepa r a t i o n of her breakfast. Of food She had not tasted for fully four-and-twenty hours, when a kindly neighbor entering the low kitchen, without tapping a t the door, found before her an unusual sight. P r o p p e d up against a bit of blue delf was a small red book. All a b o u t were the utensils and material for cooking, and over them, anxious and careful, like one who has much a t ntake, bent Lois ('ragshaw. said the newcomer. . Lois.

Moreover, so far from requirinc e x t r a a t t e n t i o n . Mr. Bib gave no trouble a t all, but did whatever he was told t<f do, and would never even have asked for his meals if they had not been forthcoming. T h a t was why Mr. and Mrs. Watties, were so pleased with their lodger. I t therefore gave Mrs. Waffles, as she subsequently stated, "quite a t u r n , " when Mr. Bib came down s t a i r s one morning with his hat and overcoat on. and evinced the strongest intention of going o u t for a walk. Young Mr. Bib h a d given strict instructions t h a t his father was on no account to leave the house, as, besides being unable t o find his way back he was liable t o become dangerously excited by the noise and bustle of the streets. On the two or three occasions when he h a d called t o see his father young Mr. Bib had always repeated these instructions. It was. in fact, his intention t o t a k e his father a w a y t o a quiet residence in the country as soon as he had concluded certain business which he had on- h a n d . Mrs. Waffles accordingly placed herself before the door, ancf explained t o Mr. Bib t h a t he could not leave the premises at present. "Please—please," ^ stammered the old gentleman, in w h a t was for him r a t h e r an excited tone, " c a n ' t wait —my son, Alfred—look." He drew a newspaper from his pocket, and pointed to something in it. On pretence of looking a t it Mrs. .Waffles drew him into the parlor, where she saw t h a t it was a morning paper which he had somehow gjt hold of, and t h a t he was pointing to the report of the first d a y ' s proceedings in the trial of the Rev. Alfred Stuckey a t the Old Bailey. As she read the passage over t o humor him the old man kept on repeating, "My son Alfred—murder me?—no! no—not Alfred. Musn't hang Alfred!" Now in the p a r l o r sat. Mrs. Wafiles's h u s b a n d taking his breakfast, for he was a compositor in the office of a daily paper, a n d a late riser. Mr. Bib's utterances made a deep impression on Mr. Watties. He was a man of considerable intelligence, and, moreover, knew all the facts in the Stuckey case by heart, having been engaged on the previous day in setting up in type a report of the trial. " H e ' s got some delusion in his head a b o u t this t r i a l , " said Mrs Waffles. "Not so sure a b o u t t h a t , " replied her husband. " H s never had one before. Ask him w h a t he w a n ^ s t o d o . " Mrs. Watties did so. Mr. Bib smiled feebly, and said, "Going to see Alfred —mustn't hang my son Alfred." " W h a t is y o u r name, sir?" asked Mr. Waffles in a loud tone. "Stuckey. Martin Stuckey," was the p r o m p t response. "Precious rum delusion!" observed Mr. Watlles. " L o o k here, Mr. Stuckey: 'now did you come here?" The old m a n passed his h a n d -across his forehead and looked helpk'ssy a r o u n d him. "My son Alfred," he said; then paused and shook his head. Presently lie went on in a rambling fashion: "Went out with Alfred—Ephraim changed my c l o t h e s - close by the river—Ephraim pushed me into a train—no,—no! Mustn't hang Alfred'" "There's something Mr. VVaflles, decisively. "He couldn't have got all this o u t of thenewspaper. How do ye know t h a t this old boy isn't Martin Stuckey as he says? He was brought here on the very night Martin Stuckey disappeared. He had nothing a b o u t him t o show his in t h i s , " said member having wrested an e x t r a copper. " H o w much is it?" asked Lois in a hot whisper. The man shuddered a little a t the thought of a dead m a n ' s money so soon coming i n t o his till, b u t ' ids thrift got t h e better of his superstition.

This edict is addressed t o the principals of the gymnasiums a n d other schools for seco n d a r y education in Russia, and in it they are informed t h a t hereafter they must n o t a d m i t into their institutions the sons or daughters of mechanics, small shopkeepers, s e r v a n t s , or any of those belonging t o the lower or middle class. The reason given for this policy of exclusion is t h a t the children of this class of the p o p u l a t i o n of Russiasnould becontent t«o follow in the foot steps of their fathers and mothers, and n o t at tempt t o acquire a n education which would have the effect of making them despise the work t h a t h a d supported their parentB.

I've somehow felt uneasy like, since the first day i came down; It is an awkward game to play the gentlemaa in town; And this \t& Sunday suit of mine on Sunday rightly sets; But when 1 we.tr the stuff a week, it some how galls and frets. I'd rather wear my homespun rig of pepper, salt and gray I'll have it of la half a jiff when 1 gel home lo-day. The morning that 1 came away we had a little bout; 1 coolly took my hat and left before the skow was out.

But nothing prospers half so well when 1 get off lo stay. And i will put things into shape when I got home to-day.

My wife she says that handsome face will some day make a stir; And then i laugh, because she says the child re.-embles her!

No proper estimate of the future economical prd£tt0*'of the country can be made that does not take into consideration an element which maybe termed "the woman in business." She is knocking at all the doors of com mercial enterprises, and there are very few into which she has not already forced an entrance. The results seem to indicate that, beyond a doubt, she has come to stay. She cannot perhaps ofteu reach the levers which move the great driving wheels of business, but she proves a mo t important fac.or in the minor but scarcely less importaut machinery of detail. Phil Armour's private secretary is a young lady who was first emplo>ed as a .-tenographer and type-writer, she proved so capable and efficient that her sphere of usefulness has been gradually enlarged, until she now has probably a closer acquaintance with Armour's extended business than any other person connected with it. It used to be claimed that woman had neither physical nor mental stamina to conduct a large business. Mrs. Frank Ledie has made a success of as complicated a business enterprise as almost any in the country. The strong pointin this case i* that when she took the helm the Frank Ledie Publishing Company had but a short time previously f ai led. Madam Demorest conducts a very ex^ tensive business, which includes the publishing of a magazine. Mrs. Annie Jenno-i* Miller conducts a famous dress' reform movement, and is also the editress of a successful magazine called "Dress.'' Her daHy mail F said to be larger than that of any other woman in the United, States, Mrs. Miller ays: "Warner's safe cute is the only medicine I ever take or recommend. The' safe cur,' has the effect to give new energy and vitality to all my powers.'" These women have demonstrated that the sex can succeed in business If they take proper care of their health. That ':•< the main po nt, even with the sterner sex, and it is the subject to, which, above all others, the women of to-day should give their attention, And Here, as everywhere, conies in play the old maxim: "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

The lM^etK'ii:8 of the Republicans are ' ^ w i a g l y toward prohibitory IPSM-- I tion on general princ iol^s; it is chimed by that party that as it. strn- k TV, • fir-' blow tor the abolition of slav.o-y i.i t District of Colnm.l>ia, tli.it it wi ; fifjht its first great battle a:j n::st tli. ia loon on the same spot, Ami from the tone of the organs and orafors of the party I am convinced that, tlm Bepuhtican^ will ultimately champion the rau>e of prohibition, and furllmr, that the Democrats will array thems a l v s against it.

Angoe of the tenth district. Chairman Potter presente i his report of the financial condlt'* 11 of the union labor party. After considerable discussion on the subject it was decid d to hold the state convention to s e l e c delegates to attend the national co lvention at Lanslug on May 23. Tuc coinrnitt'ie was instructed to issue an address to the voters of the state in the near I'uture, outlining the position of the party on all essential political 'jUestjon. n accordance with the terms of the Cincinnati piatiVrm. 1 he state central committee was invited to appoint a sub-committee to coufcr with the executive committee of ihe united labor party regarding the harinoni.-ing of existing differences and e i e c i n g a union. J. AI. Potter was made chairman of this committee, and his as^o ia es are II. A. Dunning Detroit; Ge rge A. IMers. S io; Ben Colvin. St. Charlc>: i'rank M. Fogg, Lansing. I n the evening the committee discussed the pro; osed work of this subcommittee. It was asserted that the union and united labor parties were practically a uni: on the financial and transportation questions, and that progress was being made toward a Ian L plank u;on which both parties could uniie. The following pla'- foriu was adopted: 1. We demand a valuation on all unoccupied and speculative lands confmensurate with tha value which location., settlement and surrounding impr.>\ements give thereto, to the extent that speculation and withholding the tame from improvernen and settlement shall b ' rendered iurn ssible and monopoly in land be l o w e r destroyed. 2. The means of communication and transportation should be owned and controlled by the 1 eople, as is the I'nited States j ostal system, and equitable rates •everywhere established. 8. The establishment of a national monetary system in the interest of the producer, by which a circulating medium fu necessary <itiautities and full ie^al tender shall b\> issued direct to the people without the intervention of banks, or loaned to citizens on ample security. 4. The right to vote is inherent in cltienship, irres, ective of sex. f. Excessive wealth resulting in luxury and idleness on o n e l m n d and excessive toil and poverty on the oth r lead to iutemperaace and vice. The measures of reform here demanded will prove to be the scientific solution <f the temperance Question. - — - — • B r u t a l M u r d e r i n B a y C o u n t y . William II.

He was questioned and said that Wallace murdered his father with a hammer. Thou he carried the body into the woods and buried it. This startling disclosure was made known to Wallace, lie declared it to be false. Then Mrs. Fishjr was told what her son had said*. She broke down completely and said that a quarrel aro-e between Wallace and her husband. Thoy were in a rojm in which she was present as the only witness. A struggle between them commenced, After some time Wallace snatched up a hammer and 6truck Fisher on the head. The blow knocked him down and killed him instantly. Alter this Wallace picked the body up in his arms and left the house. He went across a field to the w ods. Mrs. Fi her says sh- has no knowledge of how he disposed of the body.

Nothing further was obtained from her as to any conversation between her eif and Wallace rogardiug the crime, >he says the oldest 1 oy. Charlie, was th • only one of the children who saw any of the affair or knew tha' the father was dead. Wallace still denies the crime. He ha-, engaged a lawyer to-defend him.

Not a Hospital, but a pleasant Remedial Home, organized with A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, And exclusively devoted to the treatment of all Chronic Diseases* This imposing Establishment was designed and erected to accommodate the large number of invalids who visit Buffalo froevery State imd Territory, as well as from many foreign lands, that they may avail themselves of tho professional services 1 *Jie Staff of skilled specialists in medicine and surgery that compose the Faculty of this widely-celebrated institution. NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS. By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases Just as successfully without as with a personal consultation. While wo are always glad to see our patients, and become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and familiarize them with our Bystem of treatment, yet we have not seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The perfect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduct? the most minute particulars in their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages. Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a submarine cable nearly, three thousand miles long? Our venerable "clerk of the weather" has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell what the weather wilt be in Florida or New York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. And so in all departments of modern science, what is required is the knowledge of certain * sigrus. From these scientists deduce accurate ccnol& NS Or elusions regardless of distance. 80, also, in medical science, diseases have certain unmistakable signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we have been enabled to originate and perfect a system of determining, with the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases, without seeing and personally lAMLOUSl SUCCESS. examining our patients. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of the patient, we elaim to possess no miraculous powers. We obtain our knowledge of the patient's disease by the practical application, to the practice of medicine, of well-established principles of modern science. And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed us that we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfully treating lingering or chronic affections. This system of practice, and the marvelous success which has been attained through it. demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena, which, being subjected to scientific analysis, furnish abundant and unmistakable data, to guide the judgment of the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions. The most ample resources for treating lingering or chronic diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus placed within the easy reach of every invalid, however distant he or she may reside from the physicians making tbe treatment of such affections a specialty. Full particulars of our original, scientific system of examining and treating patients at a distance are contained in " T h e P e o p l e ' s C o m m o n S e n s e M e d i c a l A d v i s e r .

Many of the diseases affecting the liver and other organs contributing in their funo ti HIS to thu- process of digestion, are very obscure, and are not inirequently mistaken bv both laymen and physicians for other maladies, and treatment is emplovcd directed to the removal of a disease which does not exist. Our Complete Treatise on Diseases of the Digestive organs will be sent to any address on receipt of ten cents m postage stamps. E I J I G H T ' S D I S E A S E , D I A B E T E S and fftnury kindred maladies, have been very largely treated, IilUnLI and euivs effected in thousands of cases which had been pronounced beyond hope.

The study and practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of the urinary organs. Probably no other institution in the world has been so large I v patronized by suffers from this class of maladies as the old and world-famed World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our specialists have acquired, through a vast and varied experience, great expertness in determining the exact nature of each case, and. hence, have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies for the cure of each individual case.

To those acquainted with our institutions, it is hardly necessary to say that the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, with tho branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London, England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being tho most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions in the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices. We, many years ago, established a special Department for the treatment of these diseases, under the management of some of the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full Council of the mo^t experienced specialists. WE OFFER Ho APOLOGY. I WONDERFUL SUCCESS.

Many who suffer from these terrible diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man, intent on doing good and alleviating suffering, should shun such cases, we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to cam tbe worst cases of these diseases, we cannot understand; and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there is probably none about which physicians ia general practice know so little. We shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat with our best consideration^ sympathy, and skill, all applicants who are suffering from any of these delicate diseases.

Howells, tho novelist, is anxio )H to have a word to say about the substitution of death by electricity for death by hanging in the infliction of capital punishmen t,and in a recent letter to Harper's Weekly he seta forth various reasons why the legislature of that state should make the proposed change. u the event, however, that tho legislature should refuse to enact a law whereby the change may be brought about, Mr. Howells says: t'l have a suggestion to make in this matter of executions. I have long thought it cruel to the sheriff and his deputies to force them to this hangman's work, and monstrous to let somo imbruted wretch make legal killing his trade; and I have to propose that the executioner should be drawn from society at large, as jurors are, and that no excuse should avail, except the oath of the person drawn that he is conscientiously opposed to capital punishment. This system, which is perfectly practicable, would give from time to time, men of every profession and station the opportunity to attest their devotion to the great principle that if it is wrong to take life, a second wron£ of tho kind dresses the balance and makes it risht." , -^. i he etiquette of the sick room should be better understood. Many a patient, nervous and excited, has literally had the life forced out and gone to the grave throu h uneasiness or fright over the mysterious surroundings. There is no time when a man or woman more needs to have natural and cheerful people about them than when to-sing on a sick bed. Talking in the room unoold always ...be done in a natural tone of voice and never in whispers. Tb«t* should be no tip-toeing and no long faces, or discussions over this or that grave symptom. The doctor tlrnt on't briu«r a bree e of cheerfulness with him to the sick room had better quit business and go to the undertaker's trade. There are many forms of disease where the patient is killed or cured, not by any remedies, but by t i e indiscretion or discretion of tho physician and attendants. he effect of a good life is seen even in this world Thero are faces that we love to look upon, though wasted by sickness and wrinkled with age The splendor of a beautiful soul shine - through the crumbling walls of the body, and the sphere of innocence and tried virtue Hows #forth as-delicious iragrance from the heart. onesh and manly lirmness, unswerving integrity, bright honor, or tender pity, iovh g tniitfulness, delicate sympathy, white innocence, in manifold forms ami graces shines through the wa-lls o!' clay, and blond in wondrous beauty in the material face and form.

The national conference of wool growers, dealers and manufa :turers completed their work by issuing an elaborate reply to the president's recent message, urging a revision of tho wool tari".

The conference has been divided, some members urging that tin? tari f reduction was certain, but the ulira-pvo ectioii wing won the light and went beyond asking to let the present tari If stand, by demanding a heavr iucri'ase. The api eal begins with a lengthy statement or how the American wool industry has been built up by the protective policy, showing that imported wools and woolens are now practically excluded. Then it asks that the' -Amen; an pn.duetion bo made the entire supply of the country by proposing tariff rates which are largely above the present schedule and, if adopted, would be < raetiealtv a barrier against importing wool or woolens.

The correspondent had time to recover his sight-seeing position when the s h a r p crack of the gun caps fourteen hundred feet down in the e a r t h wa* heard. There were ten seconds of silent suspense, a n d then n^rand.spectacle was seen. First a r o a r was heard, a n d this was followed a t once by the belching forth a column of greenish liquid, which rose t o the t o p of the derrick, broke into spray, a n d filled the air. Next followed a column of black smoke a n d liquid roaring out ot the hole like the escape of steam from a locomotive safetyvalve. A fire of stones followed thia cracking a m o n g the timbers of the derrick a n d failing all a b o u t . The wind carried the liquid away from the spectators, and the stones thrown straight from the m o u t h of the well fell back, harming no one. The belching lasted pefhaps half a minute, and then all was quiet. The eight q u a r t s of nitro-glycerine had don» its work. It had lifted first a column of crude oil 1,400 feet deep from the h o t t o m of the well; had broken the bl.'icksand rock in which petroleum is found, and had thrown the fragments up from a depth of fourteen hundred feet.

While the Twenty-Fifth Tennessee Infantry was encamped near Wartrace, in tho spring of 1 S(>;5, a farmer from a neighboring county came in with a large goods-box filled with "pies an' things."' During his stay, he was approached by a- soldier whom lie h a d known in civil life, who wanted t o make use of his e m p t y box as a means of escape from camp, t h a t he might pay a s h o r t visit home. The farmer, not being sure t h a t it would be right t o comply with the request, though willing to a c c o m m o d a t e the man, made no promise, b u t privately referred t h e m a t t e r t o Col. Hughes, who told him he had no power to grant a furTolTglTTd~fhe~a"pptrcantr but if he could get o u t of c a m p in the empty box, it would bo all right. He charged the farmer, however, n o t to let his friend know t h a t he was cognizant of his a t t e m p t {p es:ape. T h a t strategy had been a t t e m p e d before, t h e qplonel was aware, and he didn't choose t o let it continue. T h e soldier went off in the dry-goods box. As the wagon, with its unsuspicious- looking load, reached Duck River the next morning, it was met amid stream by several mounted guards, who accused t h e owner of trafficking in whiskey t o t h e soldiers. This he stoutly denied; b u t they told him they must m a k search, which they proceeded a t once tcrdp. Mounting the wagon-at a given signal, they hoisted the box o v e r b o a r d into the river.

T h a t prince of good fellows, R o b e r t J. Burdette, says: \ No, oh no; we are not goirr^-t^Kjktch into the uve cent blood and thiimk^r novelette; not ri^dit directly, at any rate. We were jusi looking over a story in the u n e nunioer of a most excellent and highly respectable juvenile magazine; d good magazine, that doubtless views with alarm, as do all the rest of us, tho poisonous literature of the news stand This story is about a boy, 15 years old, who, while standing alone on his lather's engine on a lonely siding, saw a runaway train of cars, started by the wind, sweep past him down tho grade. Usual tiling the lightning express neariy due; thu train dispatcher always manages to have a lightning express about due when anything of tins kind happens There is " n o telegraph wire either; ' this is a so usual; a road without a wire is apt to run light n i n g expresses ami limited trains every lilteen minutes. The boy thinks ijuickly; boy»of lifteen aro ulwasstjuickthinkers; hu'rutis his online out on the main line, sotting the Mvit lies lor himself, tor his father has gono to supper, miles away in tl)«> country, presumably, as it is quite customary for railway engineers H> take all thoinueals at distant ranches, leaving their engine in the charge of children. The runau a\ ears "aro miles away;1 ' and he has "less than an hour" to e a t h them, lie caught the rnna ways, which were tiymg like the wind; he slowed up "with great j u d g m e n t " —• we should (flink so ••crept along the -side of his Hying engine, irot on the p.lot.' lifted the coupling bar "with one h a n d " and reuehedover as he " m a d e the ooupling and dropped the pin in with t.he other;" had a struggle with the ll\ ing cars, i.ut at last cheeked theni; got them started back, he making thn'ty-iive miles au hour and the '•Lightning" in Mght making sixty-- •n a road withou a wire - h o - h a d ten niile> to run in this shape, but he made ii. g o t in on the siding, time to turn the switch, and the "Lightning" thundered by. Then "I ho hoy tainted dead a w a y . " o wonder it. was enough to make a man fa nt t» read it; it was high time somebody fainted. Now tho »>ue^ticm s just this: does the boy get anything better out of .sued nonsense than he does <ut of 'Kid th;i Sleuth Ibmml, or 'The <>y Terror oi Gory Cano i .

We haven't the least objection t.o fiction; wo rather like it, hut great - con! even *: t o n for boys should-havc- »oini' sense in it. Not much, perhaps, b\it just soma. A »r(l to the Boys. A writer 1* the American Boy says: Farmer I oys, you nerd not envy t h e 3 onng men who stand behind t h e counters of the o:ty stores. You need not onvy the young men who are making ready te take the places of tho army of lawyers and pettifogers who are subsisting by the litigations of quarrelsome clients. Ami certainly you ought not to envy the b,>\ s who have no employment at all those who a r e growing up to manhood without acquiring industrious habits upon which to . elv in times of great need nnd pressing emergencies, whose idleness invites to temptations which so often lure t o mental amt bodily ruin Your Qlothjjer may n t be s t finely spun and rauade as tin so of the. oity boys, b u t ^ o n a r e the peers of them all, wttfr your bronzed laeos and h « r i y k a n d s , however proton j turn* their employments. Your business ' ,* one whick a»t^ dates every vocation j in th© w«rl«L T k e farmer was plowing and reapim* kia kirvest long before t h e w e i \ 4 m i t u w j i r »r doctor was kuown; MM4 -ko. still »UJidi foremost at lh« j m t M wk«n«» iawM-to the milliixni of tltttt world tk« steady never fa ling streams of plentoosnesa and life. A generation or so ago t h e brighest boys of the farmer's familv were aMigned to the professions ' f n e dull fellows sent to the fields, nowadays a different order of things prevails. Onco the idea was popular that only muscular strength was necessary on a farm—the strength to guide a plotf, t o w eld an axe, a hoe or a s ythe—the endurance to go through the sweltering tasks of summer, or the exposed duties of winter. These important requisites given, a booby might till the place just as well as any one else So some folks used to think, but what say you working farmer boys? Do you not place a higher estimate upon your skill, and upon t h e value of your services?! Look u p then, and vindicate yourselves. You are getting health and strength from the wholesome exercise of the fields, and that you m a y have the necessary intelligence to combine with this strength for the proper prosecution of your calling apply yourselves diligently to acquiring knowledge whenever respite from labor shall give you tho opportunity. Chat With tho GlrlB. Girls, don't! If you iind, in searching for your mission in this world, that you neglect some everyday duty, I say, don't search. Let the mission come; then attend to it. If you have to waste the precious minutes of your life waiting for some grand opportunity to do good, make up your minds that you're not cut out for any special mission, or rather that there is none " c u t o u t " for you; for missions a r e not cut out as a basque is by a pattern, which can be borrowed from any one. Listen to that g r a n d old philosopher, Thomas Carlyle: " D o tho duty which Best nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty. T h e second duty will already have" become clearer." T h a t is my motto. I have it copied out in large clear handwriting and hung it on a pin stuck in my writing desk, where I can see it at all hours of the day, a n d underneath is the one word " N o w . " T h a t is to me a magical word. Did you ever know a girl who imagined she would do something great grand, good, had she only a chance, an opportunity? »f she is yet a school girl her studies aro neglected in order that she m a y scribble on bits of paper a n d blank leaves torn from her history, and bewail her fate in these or similar words: " I ani tilled with an inexpressible longing to do f-o'.y.o mighty good. Oh, that i might go forth into the world's great strife and win a name and place for myself! Oh, to be free fro these galling chains!" etc That's just the trouble, my dear young friend, " a place and a n a m e " for yourself. And you deceive yourself in thinking it is for the good of your fellow creatures. Self* deception is indeed a double deceit He content to " d o the duty that lie3 nearest t h e e , " and look not to the man for praise and approval. " T h e noblest deeds are often done where no eye but God's can see t h e m . " 'Tis not so much what we do as what we are. . . . . , .We are touching our fellow beings on all sides. They are atlected for good or for evil by what we are, by what we say and do, even by w h a t we think and feel. " N o man fiveth to himself, no man dieth to himself," a n d you girls who spend your time in idle search, while neglected duties, small and contcmptihle though they seem, stare you in the face every hour of the day—tell me what A ill your answer be when the question co • es: " W h e r e hast thou gleaned to-day?" Will you hold out hands filled with the withered flowers of reveries and day dreams? or will you, at last, drop the withered blossoms and stretch forth empty hands? Remember, that 'from the lowest depth tliere. is a path to the loftiest height." Find it ami walk therein. Test Questions in History. 1.

Thirty years ago a barefoot, ragged urchin presented himself before the desk of the principal partner, and asked for work as an errand boy, •'There's a deal o' running to be d o n e , " said Mr. Blank, jestingly, affecting a broad Scotch accent. "Your first qualification wud be a pair o' shoon." The boy, with a grave nod, disap peared. He lived by doing odd jobs in tho market, and slept under one of the stalls. Two months passed before h" • had saved enough money to buy the shoes. Then he presented himsef before Mr. Black one morning, a n d held out a package. "1 hae the shoon," he said quietly. " O h ! " Mr hlank with difficulty recalled t i e circumstances. 'You want a p l a c e P Not in those rags, my lad; you would disgrace the house." The boy hesitated a moment, and then went out without a word. Six months passed before he returned de cently clothed in coarse b u t new garments. Mr. Blank's interest »was aroused. For the r r s t ti >e ho looked at the boy attentively. His thin, bloodless face showed that he had stinted himself of food for months to buy these clothes. The manufacturer now questioned the boy closely, and found, to his regret, that he could neither read nor write. " I t is necessary that y o n should do both before we could employ you in carrying home parcels," he said. " W e have no place for y o u . " Tho lad's face g r e w paler, but with - out a word of complaint he disappeared. He now went fifteen miles in the country and found work in stables near a night i chool. At the end of a year he again presented himself before Mr. Blank. 'I can read and w r i t e , " he said briefly. " I gave him the place, ' the employer said afterward, "with tho conviction that in process of time he would take mine, if he made u p his mind to do it. Men rise slowly in Scotch business houses but he is nowr p u r chief foreman. " His Sister's Joke. A funny thing happened ou Chestuut street yesterday. A handsomely dressed young'lady was walking along rather hurriedly, below Tenth. Through the < oil of hair on the Lack of her head was carelessly thrust a very pretty minature dagger, made of silver, one of the present fashions of -the sex. Behind the lady walked a young man whose eyes rested upon the dagger from time to time. As they approached Ninth street the young man stepped quickly up and drew the dagger from the lady's hair. She did not not <a.» it, but a policeman did, and his brawny hand came down upon the young m a n ' s shoulder just as he was putting the dagger in his pocket. 'It's all right ' said he; 'she's m\ sister.' ' '11 ask her,' replied the olVicer; and he hurried after the young lady, the young man with him Having overtaken her the vouth explained the matter, and asked his s i - t r to tell the oilicer what a stupid misiake he had made The lady appeared for a m o m e n ' a little bewildered; then in a freezing tone she said: T do not know hini, oilicer; an est him.' The dagger having been returned to her, she walked quickly down the street, while the oilicer conducted the youm: man by the way of Sanson] street t<i the station. An hour later he was released,- when there was a big laugh ail round at the neat manner in which tin sister had turned the joke on the brother - in which langii. however, the brother did not join.- Philadelphia Press.

Although Congress has been in sesi six weeks, a n a a I housand. biMs have been introduced, only one lull has serving six months, resigned, and then another was appointed a n d he is still acting. These facts are given to illustrate tbe one predominating chaiacteristic of Mr. Lamar, and a single word—procrastination—tells the story. This is his great failing—constitutional indolence. Mr. Vilas will appoint a Chief Clerk before he himself is in pm'ce a week. Last week Senator 13eck received the cordial congratulations of hi.sfiiends and admirers on his third election lo the Senate—an honor that Kentucky has conferred upon no other man. T b e Senator is a tower ot strength to his,2;v7. par'y, and is regarded as somewhat ol an oracle on questions of linance and tariff.

The terrible storm which has swept over t b e northwest, blockading railroads in live states, i* now over a n d the victims of its fury are being counted.

Next t o this the worst bliz ard that t h o Northwest ever experienced occurred J a n u a r y 7, H and '.», 1«73. i n that storm 70 people were frozen to d e a t h and thousands of liollats worth of property destroyed. T h e present storm promisor to be even more terrible in its results. It came without warning. T h e area of unusual cold has beeu general, extending from the extreme northern line of telegraph communication as far south as Texas and the Gulf of Mexico Extreme suffering is reported from all directions, especially 1 Minnesota. Dakota, Montaiia and N braska, whore the greater number of lives have been lost, in Kansas thousands are suffering for want cf both fuel and food, and in some coentie-. aid is need to sa*« many fro n actual starvation. T h e storm, while cf course le s severe in Arkansas, Texas and other southern states, still found the people there unprepared for it, . and U'Uch suffering resulted. C o p s and live stock have every \ here suffered more or less. T h e death list includes strong men and helpless women and children. Farmers have gone from the house to attend to their stock and both men and beasts have perished. Teachers a n d . h e l p l e s s little ones have tried in vain to reach a place of safety, while mothers have gone in search of their little ones only to perish in the frightful blizzard, In Chester, Minn., six school children are among the dead. In many cases the victims have been overcome by the storm and cold when within a few rods of shelter, but owing to the blinding force of the storm were unable to make their way. The reports that come from Western Kansas are appalling. T h e blizzards that rage 1 through that section a few week! ago left the pe >ple In such bad condition that they were unable to stand the severs storm and intense cold, and a large number of deaths from cold and starvation are known to have occurred. A carload of provisions was started from Wichita to Ashland, Clark county, but tho storm stopped the train. It is estimated th* t ;->,IKIO people in Clark county are in a deo* titute condition, and unless immediate r o t lief is adorded tlieni t h e numUir of doathoT will be fearful to contemplate. •,, T h e pustor of the Presbyterian church in . iartland.

T h e c a s u a l t i e s among stock ha?« been greater than ever known in the staU of Kansas. Horses aitd cattle have perished in their stalls and the owners hava been badly fio.eu while tiying to care for them. Some of the stories ef suffering are pathetic in the extreme.

A Complete Surprise. Last Thursday evening at about eight o'clock a sleigh load of nxteen young people could be seen driving to the west at a rapid rate. All went lovely until they started to cross the railroad track nearly a mile out of town, when one of the sleigh runners broke which stopped the pleasant time for a while, but it was not very long before the box was taken from the bobs and the team with a driver started in pursuit of another pair of bobs, which were kindly leaned them by Mr Sheldon Wehh." All this time the remain: der of the party were parading up and down the road trying te keep warm. It took but a very tew minutes to place the box onto the borrowed bobs and the party, was again in motion. After about four miles of travel had been accomplished west and north, the driver hauled up to the home ot Albert Wilson and family, of West Putnam, who were getting ready to retire for the night, but when they observed that they were the, victims ot a surprise, (whtch was a t r u e one) they changed their minds. After the young people warmed themselves Ihey proceeded to make themselves at home by using the rooms for jarames, ,soc.ia [ chat, etc, At! eleyen o'clock the outers which were' —xfcrT^afflphol). ot Pinckne^.^fer-thepast eight months editor of the Disr .

A. D. BKSNETT, Publisher. P1NCKXEY MICH Hi AN The venerable mother o( J a m e s A. Garfield, familiarly known to the country as "Grandma Garfield," is dead. The deceased was eighty-six years old, and had been failing under the increasing infirmities of old age /or several months. She was among the pioneers o" the western reserve of Ohio, and possessed all of the sterling and sturdy qualities that distinguished the early settlers of that once inhospitable region. Being widowed while her children were still young, many years of her life were passed in a hard but patient struggle to maintain her family. She was successful and was amply repaid in seeing all of her children become useful men and women, one attaining the highest station in the gift of the people as the crowning acbie cment of a most honorable career as a soldier and statesman. This most excellent mother was profoundly honored and be oved by her children, and by none more than by her distinguished •Son. who publicly attested his affection before the world, at the time of his inauguration, by kissing in tho presence of the assembled thousands, the aged mother to whoso lovo and care he owed so much The tragic death of President Garfield was a terrible blow to his ven erable mother,' but she bore it with that christian fortitude that had sustained her in many severe trials in earlier years Since that event she has made her home with Mrs. James A. Garfield—now absent in lurope — receiving all the care and devotion that affection could inspire. Tiie gist of Cardinal Manning's recent utterance on socialism is as follows; "All men are bound by natural obligations, if they can, to feed the hungry But it may be said thai granting tho obligation in tho giver does not prove a right in. the receiver To which 1 answer that the obligation to feed the hungry springs from the natural right of every man to lifo, and to the food necessary for the sustenance of life. So strict is this natural right that it prevails over all positive laws of property- Necessity lias no law, and a starving trau lias a natural right to his neigh bor's bread. . • — The Episcopal Bishop Garret of Texas wants clergymen in hisjurisdic tiou. "Hut they must be,1' he says, "men who know how to lake care of themselves along the frontier. Brave, sturdy fellows, not afraid ot the open mouth of a revolver nor the yell of a drunken cowboy.

World. li .YE been or three weeks immersed in a profound attempt to drag my memory out of the mud, with the assistance of ' rof. Loisette, and now I am p r e - pared to wrestle with the art of forgetting. It is astonishing h o w m a n y men i avo poor mem ones. When t h e small and much to "be pitied Mr, Gould was on the stand some timo ago who, was not thrilled wi h sympathy at ins painful but ineffectual efforts to recollect how many millions lie had paid out in transactions which most of us would have remembered exactly. Eager and helpful states • en tried to stimulate his torpid faculties, but in vain and the sad example remained of a noble mind wandering in the fog of doubt, unable to tell an anxious senatorial committee how seventy or e; ghty millions of other moo's money happened to get into his private, pocket and stay there. Messrs. I,eland Stanford andfc. P. Huntington arc equally pathetic examples ot how great men may acquire money arrd- lo*e — t r t n m n r - tmttl vastinterests are wrecked, which they would gladly restore if they could remember how. but an inserutab'e Providence has willed otherwise and thev must abide by the decision. It is a peculiar characteristic of memory that some things are easier to n member than others. Once in New Mexico I pitched camp after night fall and spread my blankets over a largo colony of red and earnest ants. It was a trilling incident, but ! remember it distinctly. On the other hand, 1 have ory an anecdote covering about four large pages of fine p r i n t I forgot the anecdote in two days, tout > am mire if I could only now recall the name 9f the book it was in and study it for a few weeks, \ could recite the list of the Caesars with ease. Another system enabled me to recollect numbers by mean* of rhymes. Suppose I * tinted to remember 4-11-44. All that was necessary was to sit down in some tranquil spot and compose a short poem containing these numbers and them memorize the poem. Afterwards, if I forgot the poem, I could refer to the diary in which i kept it, for it was part of-the system to enter everything in a diary, so as to guard against mistakes. Still another method. for which I gladly paid #4o to a sad and thoughtful gentleman who subsequently died in a violent and mysterious manner, was to weavo the names or ates to be remembered info a st ry and then study the story for several months, after which time, if the memory of tho story was good, the names and dates woven into it could bo recalled with amazing exactness and rapidity. After carefully reasoning upon the subject for a long time, I am convinced that the natural enemy of the ii em ory is forgetful iiess. If a man once permits a fact to slip his mind and re main absent, he is liable to miss it when he wants it in a hurry. Jn this scientific conclusion most of the other eminent authorities concur. The phenomenon of mind wandering, hitherto u n e x p 1 a in ed, seems to me to be mainly due to the failure of tho intellect to remain where it is wanted. For example, if a man goes down town with his wife's bonnet on, unconscious of the low jeers of unsympathie strangers, it is safe for him to assume that he was thinking of something else when he went out. Even a man with a power ' fully fixed mind may make mistakes nit the "hat rack while depart ng from a large gathering, but generally it is some one else who regrets the error.

Concerning many of these women tho world knows much, but of the majority it is ignorant. Tho mother of Louis Agassi/, the 8Scientist, was tho wife of a Swiss P r o t - eslnnt clergyman, and lived to a very old age. Louis was her favorite son, and she trained him with greatest care, Whon . in 1857, Prof, Silliman of Yale College visited her, he found her at four score a "tall, erect and dignified woman,'1 with animated address and cultivated manners. When she was assured by her guest that her son's adopted countr.- loved him and was proud of him, her strong frame was agitated, her vo ce trembled with emotion, and the flowing tears told the story of a mothers heart. The day that Prof. Silliman left she walked a long way in the rain to bid li.m and his wife farewell.

For his voice I listen nml yoaru; It i* yrowiui* late and dark. Ami my bo,1 does not return."

Tho spider's thread is e/ten kndfted, or a minute ball is formed at certain points when it crosses another thread, as in tho oase of the garben spider's geometrical wob, with its numerous concentric rings, or, more properly, spiral r i n g s . . Tho object of those knots or balls at the points of crossing is to prevent them from slipping by binding them together, and, at the same time, strengthening the wob and enabling it to hold more securely its prey. An emiuent entomologist, who made spiders aud kindred insects' a specialty, counted 120,000 of these knots in a web of liftoon inches in diameter. It is a very remarkably fact that the threads of concentric or spiral portions of tho webs aro quite different in quality. To explain, the spider has throe different sacks holding the viscid or sticky lluid from which the threads aro made. Connected with those are three separate spinorots, or sets of tubes. each one spinning its own peculiar thread. One of these sets furnishes the stronger threads, called In natural history rad'ri, that branches out from the neuter like the spokes of a wheel, and it also spins the stronger cable that anchors the entire web and keeps it firmly fixed, It is a curious fact that while all the circling threads are very sticky these radii are not so at all. Anything touching them does not adhere. Being so strong, perhaps they would hold too large a prey, something so largo that tho spider could not well manage it or something that might injure the web in its weaker parts Why this threat number ef threads, you will naturally ask, and why can thev be so rapidly formed as we have seen? The number is necessery for size as _yyejd ja^^treiijjth. J.o oatch amL hold seeiireiy the prev that is entangled iu its _meshes. Anyone observing a spider has seen how rap dly it can envelope or completely enwrap, iu a silken net his victim so as to render it perfectly helpless. Threo thousand threads enable it lo do it. aided by tho wonderfully formed claws on its hind feet, and also its powers of rapid spinning gives it tho capacity to weave a wcA) of sixteen inches in diameter in forty-live minutes. The silk worm and eaterpiltar have no need of doinu; .such rapid work, and hence they spin their ^ g l e threads slowly, it bomg unnecessary, perhaps, to give time for the gummy substance, of which t heir silken threads are made, to harden aud thus acquire the proper si reugt.li. A curious fact is that the silkworm's sack that holds this gummy substance has, at the extreme of the opening, a single tube that is much harder and more horn-like than the .tubes of the spider's spinerets, because there is a • greater strain upon ' it, :n spinning a thicker and stronger thread. There are spiders also m the, sea which spin their webs an I spread them out to catch minute marine insecls very much as those do to catch their prev on laud. We see. also, a merciful provision of the Creator for shortening the sufferings of the injects caught, in the /Spider's webs.

KHCTT, EDITOR MP PROPRIETOR. Placcaey, Michigan. Tnursaay Jeb. 3, IBS, Bough OB the Detroit Journal. T H * Wayne CJounty Courier "ffoea for" the Detroit Evening J ournal in the following style: "There was a time, and not so very long ago, either, when the Detroit News was without an equal in the Detroit evening journalistic field, la fact, it is questionable whether the News did not occupy the leading place over all newspapers in Detroit. By some strange fatuity on the part of the management of that paper, however, it has been gradually falling from its high estate, and consequently in the estimation of the public, while its young rival, the Journal, has ascended into the envied posiition so long held by the News. The Journal has now a stag of writers equal to any doing good work in the country. Every department is carefullv supervised, and the paper is conducted upon an advanced plan ot enterprise without a parallel in Detroit. The public can Appreciate a good thing when they find it, which is fully evidenced by the upward bounds taken by the Journal^ circulation. A clear or more wholesome sheet could not be taken into a a family." Saturday's issue (double size) of the Detroit Evening Journal by mail, one year, $1.00, or every day $5.00, cash with order.

The speaker and the Democratic leader of the House were prostrated by sudden illness the past week, and in coniBquence, little of importancej-s{.ai was done in that body. Among the bills passed by Congress ra that time, I will name the act in regaid to'permissible writing and printing on third and iourth class mail bill was constitutional? The Judge promptly replied, "It is my opinion that it is unconstitutional, and this I believe to be the opiuion of the present bench," The above they obtained irom a student ot the law school; not wishing to make any mistake m the matter, your correspondent proceeded to the residence ot ex-Justice Strong, finding him at home. He was asked "Is it true that you gave an opinion before the Columbia Law School against the constitutionality ot the Blair bill?" His answer was "I did say that it was my opinion that the measure was unconstitvtional, But it was in reply to a question a n d n o t as part ot my lecture. I had no intention or thp"<fht that my remarks would become public property, or I would not have given an opinion. Ever since I retired from the bercli, it has been my fixed principle never to give publicity to an opinion on any matter before the Supreme Court, and I shall not depart from it. I am constantly in consultation and intercourse I with members of the bench, and my opinion on questions before the court is frequently asked by the judges, but I never vary from the determination taken when I left the btuch. If I were a Congressman, I might feel more at liberty to discus tKo Blair bill and kindred measures, but 1 am not. I believe in a strict construction of the constitution." The above opinion from Jud^e Strong is undoubtedly a heavy handicap for the Blair bill to carry, for in all probability the Judge but voiced the opinion of a majority of the Supreme Court. What effect it will have on the us of the Blair bill In Congress, it is impossible to say at this time -, but it favorable to that MANN BROTHERS WANT YOUR Brand Trunk Railway Time Table.

Senator 1'almer addrta-ed the senate on Imuiigration the other day. l l e m a . e an excellent and logical argument in favor of his bill, and there is every probability that tt will pass the senate. lie disclaimed any Intention to prevent any capable, honest, industrious, lawabiding person from teeming a home on American soil. If it was desired tl.at the American workingman should retain his superiority over the uuderpaid laborer of Europe, such obstacles would have to be interposed from time to time a-i would deter the Influx of those who Wiuld degrade American labor by undue competition. Much had been done for the t'nited btates and for American labmers and artisans by the duties imposed on foreign manuluctured goods, but that very process had stimulated immigration, although in the main benoticieut, now threatened, if e utinued without selecti%, to aggravate existing evils and to lower the standard of the American people by lowering the wa^es of those wiio toiled, iso that it was absolutely essential to scrutinize with care not only the existing factors, but those which Wv're being constantly injected into the nate nul life. initial steps had been taken in excluding a lace not homogeneous; and waa it not advisable to select the most desirable from the Aryan races instead of welcoming the dregs with the wine,' Political economists dillered. widely as to the capital value of immigrants; 1 ut taking the estimate of . Mr. Edward Young, former chief of the bureau of statistics, as correct, the immigrants that had co.i.c to this country had contributed $12,0^0,000,000 to its wealth. Hut. vast as had been this contribution to the nation's wealth, it by no means measured the proportionate value of immigration in the total which represented the civilization, prosperity and power oi' the country. Immigrants had dug its canals, built its railroads, burrowed in its mines and had reclaimed and made fruitful its wildernesses. Some of them had 1 oen eminent in statesmanship, commerce, scieuce, invention, education, art, literature and morals, and many of then, when the life of the government was .Wailed by internal foes, had consecrated their lives and fortunes to its defense. Theie was no present numerical reason for prohibiting the -inilux-.of immigrants except possibly the crowding of the labor market. But an undue and oppressive competition in wages was being felt at industrial centers; the public institutions were being overtaxed, and worst of all there was a growth of clas-es, un-American and hard of asimilation. which menaced the public peace and threatened to overturn all cstablisiie i law and u>age. A conviction was growing tnattbe country with its sixty million people and its fifty billion dollars has passed beyond the need 01' immigration and that it was time to go out oi the ' asylum" business, time to 1 ease be a dumping ground for the vicious, delinquent human product of other nations. The object of this bill was to provide for the exclusion of dependent, delinquent and dangerous chisses through an inspection and investigation in their own countries, instead of at the ports o: entry, and to et'i'e t this with the least I ossibie hardship or inconvenience to desirable immigrants. • Mr. * -aimer quoted extensively from the Tinted States consular reports to show the undesirable character of large classes of immigrants from Europe; referred to the Chicago riot a s a i e s u l t o f the introduction -'t anarchists and their teachings, and concluded by saying that while this bill was not all that could bo desired, it was a step in the right directh n. It would make the evasion of the existing laws on the subject more difficult, and would compel what was demanded by the onliyhtene 1 sentiment of the American people, a moral quarantine. i'ostmnster General Dickinson has i sued an order setting forth what may be written or printed on third and fourth class matter. The restrictions as to writing u]Ton mattex-of tht»- third -and- fourth classes are substan ially the same as under the old law; but in general all restrictions as to pr.ntlng-on these two classes arc removed, except a-> to the reservation ( f space necessary for addressing the matter and the placing thereon of postage stamps.

From her small ears / h u n g r u r c enamels iu the quaint setting of tbe Renaissance. The brooch that fastened her dress was a fleurde-lis fashioned of pearls, evidently an heirloom; and as she g a t h e r e d up her skirts to step into the omnibus, a flounce of rich luce fell over th>! slender foot. There were no other passengers, and t h e blue-bloused conductor, hat in hand, stood by t h e door awaiting instructions. So self-absorbed, however, was tbe lady, that she did not notice his presence, and he was obliged at last to aak her destination. Slightly coloring, and with the air.of one aroused from a deep reverie, she made reply : "Drive me, if you please, to the P r o t e s t a n t parsonage." T b e u t h « door w a s s l a m m e d to* and the )ips were on a level with his rou^h hand.

Once or twice, when the horses slackened speed, and she t h o u g h t it was time to alight, her bettor went and came, she trembled violently W<t.4tew a deep b r e a t h ; but when indeed th« wMWa stood still, by a tremendous cilort sha/ recovered self-possession. Erect and proud, mK without a certain natural h a u t e u r , she now .scanned the parsonage before ringing • the bell. The humble aspect of the place showed t h a t the reformed faith was not in the ascendant hereabouts. The pastor's h o m e was a neat, whitewashed, two-storied structure, standing sideways by the roiul; abutting on it v a s a small building of almost similar pattern, which did duty us church and school in one; shut off from the street by a high iron railing and gate was a long, narrow strip of tlower, fruit and vegetable garden, Nothing could bo plainer, homelier, more primitive, yet no signs of abject poverty met the eye. The garden was in good order. The bricked court iu front of the church was cleanly swept; the house from top to bottom had a cared-f or look. It was evident that the occupant had been accustomed to rigid economy, at the _ saiiaiJimiLio.decungy..and order. $ The latch of the garden gate yielded to her hand, and the intruder now found herself at the house door, opened—as in the fashion iu these parts—from ubove. No sooinyj, therefore, bad she touched Die bell than the door flew back and she saw that, she was expected to ascend the staircase. On the ground floor• were only storerooms and wash houses; kitchen, parlor and bedchambers evidently ? occupied the second story. And having mounted, henring, seeing no one, a second time she was compelled to announce her coming. The landing-place was dark; she tapped gently at the nearest door. " i s t h e pastor Anvillc within.''1 site a s k e d — without looking up. Her voice did not tremble b u t It was iu a strained key. She had turned very pale, and was evidently asking herself whether indeed she,had courage to fulfill her errand. "The pastor Anville J—I am he," was the reply, spoken briefly and absently. The minister had evidently been d i s t u r b e d i n t h e midst of serious occupation, and had not so much as given himself time to Identify his intruder. T h u s much was clear, a lady waited on his threshold, he felt, bound to invite her within. He was a striking-looking man, in middlelife, that is to say, in his prime. But for the habiliments of a Protestant pastor ho must have been at once taken for a Catholic priest. The priestly stamp was undoubtedly there— \ A * flM features closely shaven, the penctra- I UbfT look, t h e general aspect, recalled r a t h e r ifcedtoJpUae of Loyola than of Calvin; and, atfjMtttba? the crown of the head showed . liiMJwtaJkaJble signs of the t o n s u r e ! z-7&$ 1Mb no meanly -endowed -son of Adam, quite the reverse; b u t for all that, an observer would single him out of a crowd by reason of intellectual r a t h e r t h a n physical superiority. T h e noble brow, the commanding look marked hlru from others. He ought to have occupied one of the. metropolitan pulpits of the world. Such a mau could be a force, moral as well as spiritual a mighty lever of h u m a n wills and passions, a powerful ^ s e n t in the strife of good with evil. Blight sunshine filled tyio little study in which the fylr now stood face to face. The lady had raised her veil, hor fair gold-brown bale paught t h e s u n l i g h t The place seemed Minted by her seuslvc yet sunny beauty. ••Bo yon recognlae m e n o w ?

" For a brief moment he bad seemed to stagger, shrinking from t h a t exquisite preHenee; but, just as she had done a m o m e n t before, by a violent effort be now regained his selfcomposure. Otf .'ring her & scat, the pastor placed a chair for himself opposite her own, then closed tbe door, evidently prepared four confidence. " Y o u have come to me in come trouble or perplexity—that I s e e , " he begat), smiling faintly. "And you are aware of in/ altered clrcunistaucea As a friend, us a minister of tbe gospel, I am ready to advise, perhaps able to comfort; t h e priest, the confessor, th« absolver, you know well, have ceased to e x i s t . " " I know it," was t h e timid, girlishly heelluting reply. Yet tbe beautiful speaker could hardly be called a girl. She was iu the flower of womanhood, not iu its openiug bud, aud had certainly passed her 30th year. " I should have come to you long a g o , " she continued, " b u t my courage failed m e . " ''Then she broke off suddenly, as if c o u r a g e failed her still. A lovely blush tlugud bur cheeks, tears glistened on t h e long eyelashes A sudden light seemed to break upon his mind.

"You, too," he said, " G e o r c c t t c de Beaumont, daughter of one of the most ancient houses of Catholic France, you also have forsaken the faith of your fathers* Is it possible t h a t you are a P r o t e s t a n t now, like mys e l f l " " I am a Catholic still," was t h e passionate, reckless answer. "But I a m alone in the world. My apostasy could pain none I love. Only say the word, and I place my conscience in your k e e p i n g . " ' ' O h , " he cried, In a voice deeply moved; he was evidently w r u n g to the heart by this confession, implying, as it did, an empty woman's life, a hungry heart, an unsatisfied soul. "Oh! leave these rude conflicts to minds of tougher t e x t u r e ; these dire problems to theologians, and rest content yourself to be good and h a p p y . " The words were u t t e r e d with deep feeling, almost impassioned tenderness, and neither knew how it was. She h a d slipped from her chair to the side of his own, aud was kneeling there, kneeling to him as she had done many a n d many a time years ago in the confessional. The fair head, with its coronet ol golden hair, was uplifted to his, 'the swe shrinking, all tevroi; all hesitancy liadTeftli'eF now. The supreme m o m e n t was come, she felt entirely mistress of herself, able to u t t e r the inmost thought of her heart. "You b'd me be good and h a p p y , " she said. " T h e r e /s only one way. May i tell you what, that way is? May I confess to you, as in t h e old days}" He 6iniled then, a sheltering, encouraging smile, much as if she were some b e w i t c h i n g child fleeing to him from chimerical, terrors. To bis thinking, she was still the sunny, sparking, frolicsome G e o r g e t t e of old, no soulless (Jeorgetdo certainly, but a worldling from the cradle, the spoiled darling of a noble house, the heires:; of one of the handsomest fortunes in France, rebuked by him, punished by him in the confessional, for childish shortcomings in m a t t e r s of religious duty, years ago. That smile, sad although it was, wonderfully Irradiated his dark physiognomy. It brought back to George! t.'-'s mind hi.-, former self. He seemed to her what lie hud ever been. Shc-kirtsw not. indeed of (he change, o u t w a r d n« well as spiritual, t i n t h a d come over him during these intervening years. For the caustic yet benignant abbe, the consumate man Of the world, the tlerv d i s p u t a n t , the mighty orator, all these belonged to a bygone tone. Pastor Anville's friends and small congregation were only familiar with an over-conscientious, laborious and learned minister of the gospel. His real, his bent stdf Mas perforce concealed from the simple townsfolk. And onlv here and there was the fact realized that the Prot- Aguln he flinched. Her words h a d s t r u c k ll.'.ne. "I saw through the veil," site c o n t i n u e d ; ' y o u played with women's intellect as with toys; tijoiosclves you did n o t despise.

" She paused for a moment, as if t o g a t h e r ficnb courage und self-reliance, then w e n t on in quicker, more fervid tones.

Again a l i g h t nsof sudden conviction seemed to break upon his mind, but this time of no impersonal n a t u r e ; it was a couvictiou t h a t had to do with him as well as with her. l i e Hushed, turned pate, made an effort to speak, but failed, t h e words stayed on his faltering lips.

" I resented it then. You seemed more cruel to me than that awful storm, more cruel than life, but you could not help yourself.

A.t t b e farther end, u n d e r th sbadow of a lofty plane tree, was a deal table und by it stood a patient-faced woman evidently belonging to the peasant class, busily ironing, jioincly was her appearance, It was nevertheless not without a certain dignity and pathos. She looked so absorbed in the business of ironing, so forgetful of self, so lost t o a seusc of everything b u t the mutter-of-fact, prosaic task before her. '•You see yonder poor good w o m a n , " the pastor said, as t h e pair t h u s watched t h e unconscious h g u r e from tbe window, "f loved another, whose story you have just told. But the first of my new life, aud newly a w a k e n e d coulcience, was t o atone to her I had wronged in my y o u t h . " And romance bad now surely knocked at that parsonage door for the first, last time. With b u r n i n g tears, a hand-clasp, a whispered word, und one long, lingering gaze into each other's eyes, the t w o parted,—who shall say over to meet a g a i n ? Strange as it would seem at first sight, this fateful meeting little affected the tenor of Hieir o u t w a r d lives. I t was as if all t h e daring, all the heroism, all tbe force of these two characters had beeu already s p e n t ; by Qeorgette de Beaumont upon t h e initiative tjmt had been t h e one truly line act of her life; b.- t h e pastor, upon the two fold sacrifice made for ponaclence' sake. He h a d suddenly found himself a t the parting of the ways; on the one hand, beckoned worldly fortune, the esteem of the great, a c o m m a n d i n g social position; on the other, poverty, scorn, an abnormal condition, but, coupled with these, a j conscience at rest. Then came t h e second j choice. He m i g h t make material a t o n e m e n t to the peasaut girl he had wronged years be fore. He might then, having dismissed this subject of self-reproach, think of t h e fireside happiness no lunger denied him, aud even dream of (1 jorgette, the- beautiful Georgette! Once the straight path taken, the t e m p t i u g traverse lost sight of forever, he seemed to loose ah ambition, all enterprise, even all capacity of looking forward. Again and again after t h a t interview Georgette tried to rouse him from his lethargy, and entice him from the dead-alive country town in which he was lost to the world. She penned kind matter-of-fact little notes, 6ucb notes as any rich woman may write to a poor clergyman, m a k i n g one proposal after another. Now she wrote word that a church was on the point of being built, and endowed I for him, in Paris, a parsonage-bouse should be added; be must accept. Aud when that proposal was calmly and sadly rejected, came auother. Why, then, would he not go to E n g l a n d and settle himself a m o n g t h e French Protestants of Loudon J A large following surely a waited., him there, and rich s u p p o r t e r s of the Reformed faith were ready to do for him what had been proposed iu Paris. He should have his own church and ample m e a n s of extending its usefulness. To all these overtures the pastor made the same reply. He t h a n k e d his &weet benefactress, he was overwhelmed with a sense of her goodness, but he was too old to change his mode of life a second time. T h a t was howhe put it, and indeed and in truth, this man, although still in his prime, felt the Inertia a n d the sfiiritJessuess of age. His splendid mental powers were allowed to wear out unused. A weekly sermon to a scant congregation, the occasional task of winning over some rustic inquirer to the: new.faith, the supervision of a small school, baptisms, burials, such were the duties of one wh > might have risen to the highest position in any church. Yet he seemed not unhappy, rather passive and a u t o m a t i c as if the strings of passion and action were stopped forever, brought to a standstill by some rude shock. It was the same with Georgette. After t h a t journe,- to the parsonage amid the v nes, she returned whither she had come, and continued to live in the world. Again rind again suitors demanded her hand, but she steadfastly refused to marry. With a little more determination or character, a broader intellectual horizon, she,-might have won for herself a conspicuous social position.

ELECTRICITY IS apparently to become the executioner of the future. Tb4* commission appointed by the New York legislature in 1886 to make inquiries and report as to ''the most humane and practical method" for the execution of criminals convicted of capital crimes, has submitted a report to the legislature of that state now in session. The method recommended is the killing of the doomed culperits by an electric shock. It is instantaneous, absolutely certain, and entirely painless.— fix. THE "silent army of deaf soldiers, sailors and marines" is in the field with a powerful petition to Congress for a just and equitable law giving pensions to the class they represent upon the same basis as pensions are awarded to sufferers from other disabilities. The fignres they give show that the rating of disability for deaktess is out of all proporto&n to tha^t for disability from other causes—the rate fot' total loss of hearing inJ)oth ears being less than" that for loss ""of thumb or index finger on one hama.' -The petition makes a very interesting showing as to the number of sufferers from deafness, the nature of the affliction and its causes, and a strong,showing as to the justice of the amendment urged. Washington letter. *Pr*m Our Correspondent. * WASHINGTON, JAN. 9th, 1883. Both branches of Cbngress took a •tlay off last week. Neither the Senate nor House of representatives were in session on Saturday. This act was not necessarily the result of laziness however. The real work of Congress is done in the committee rooms, you know, and tho Congressional Committee* are always at work, whether Congress is in session or taking a holiday. I will give you a resume of what has been done during the week by mentioning the subject of bills which the committees have had under consideration. They include the bill appropriating money for the relief of the Union National Bank ot Louisiana: the Senate bill tor a bridge over the MiFsonri River at St. Charles, a id the House bill (or a bridge over the sanK liver at Jefferson City; the Dnnn Free Ship bill; Indian bills; Pacific Railroad matters; the bill to repair the war ship Hartford by an appropriation of $175,000; the bill accepting the infdret it was supposed that the bill wonld be allowed to remain unacted upon, but owning to the recent agitation it has been deemed best to give the Senate an opportunity to act on the question, although a majority of the Committee is adverse to such legislation. President Cleveland has now been in Washington nearly three years, and during all that time, so far as is known he has taken but one walk on the street—a stroll, in company with Secretary Fairchild, one evening last week, from the White House to West Washington (as old Georgetown is now called) and return. This event, trom its rareness, w^as of so mneh importance, that the city press gave it con* spicious mention. Presidents Grant, Hayes. GarfieJd and Arthur were pedestrains, and often walked the principal streets of the Capital, their figures being tarailiar to the public, but President Cleveland, with the above solitary exception, has not been seen outside of the White House grounds except in his carriage. Whether this seclusion on the part of the Chief Magistrate ot sixty million Americans is due to a desire to avoid contract with the common people, or whether it is for some personal reason your correspondent is unable to tell. The present House of Representatives is very much given to filibustering, it already having been resorted to on three occasions—the last tune under the lead ot Mr. Randall, who consumed the time of that body in frivolous motions to nrevent the passage of a resolution reported by the Chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, to set apart a day for the introduction of the bills-of his committee In the House there appears to be a general desire to make liberal appropriations for the erection of public buildings in all portions of the country. Atter an interesting discussion, the bill giving the window ot General John A.. Logan a pension of $2,000 a year passed the Senate by a vote of 55 to 1, and the bill increasing the pension of the widow of General frank P .

They are of enormous size, and the sculpture is elaborate and in perfect preservation. Upon one of them alone are eighteen almost detached statues, about three feet in height, without a single scratch, and of pure marble. The most remarkable of them has just come to li^ht recently.

VV7hat if he should be Ethbaal, "King of the Zidonians" and father of Jezebel, or some older king who flourished in the earlier days of "Great Zidon?" It is more than probable t h a t he was a royal or princely character. The value of this enormous find Is roughly estimated as approaching a sum not far from $800,000. One of the European consuls in Beirut has offered S2o,000 for one of the sarcophagi. It was not accepted, and the Turkish government are boxinq the entire lot, and have sent a special steamer t o transport them to Constantinople. The discovery of the sarcophagus of Ashmunazer, in 1855, iuat oucside of Sidon was regarded as an important event. It also h a d ' a Phoenician inscription of twenty-two lines, and several interesting d a t a were gathered from it. This is a far more marvelous and magnificent upturning of old Sidonian remains.
