If you want to do business yon, must let the public know, i^, Standing .advertisements when changed frequently, are better and cheaper than reading notices.

D. BENNETT, Publisher. PINCKNET MICHIGAN Hon. A. C. Mellette. Colonel A. C. Mellette, recently appointed governor of Dakota until its division into two states, was born in 1845 in Indiana and served during the civil war, upon the close of which he took up his residence at Munuie, Indiana, where he pratised law and was made prosecuting attorney of his jr.didicial district. He was elected to the state house of representatives, and while serving in that capacity, laid the foundation of the excellent public school system of Indiana which was adopted by nearly ¢ 1 of the western states. With General Brady he entered into the newspaper business, publishing the Muneie Times, one of the most influential republican newspapers of the district; in addition to this he carried on an extensive paper business. In 1878 he was appointed register of the general land office at Springfield. Dakota, and afterward removed to Watertown, his present home.

Parsons of Waniago, the Inventor of " T h e Aerial Torpedo," recently wrote an article on the moisture problem, whieh appeared in the Kansas City Times of the 10th inst. The article is of surpassing interest to the western farmers, as it d^als directly with the one question which of all others must be solved before the wild western plains can be wholly subdued. The article will stimulate thought in the right direction. We believe it contains suggestions that are vital. At any rate, the subject is worthy of grave attention along the lines blocked out by the writer. The article is as follows: Knowing what an interest Tho Times takes in the d e v e l o p m e n t of Kansas City, and of course realizing that the growth of this metropolis depends upon the productiveness of the soil of the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains, I feel confident that you will lake enough interest in tho subject that I am about to offer to publish it in the columns of your paper. It is one that will b j a benefit to thousands who are now trying to make their homes upon this treeless prairie. When in the future we can see dotting the prairie in every direction innumerable lakelets causing to grow two blades of grass where one grew before, we can look back to this article and say that it has been of some benefit to mankind. •In such years as the three last have been in Kansas, the fanner sees one crop after another fail for the want of moisture; he plants the fourth with a trembling hand and prays this year there may be enough rain sent to water it, but the hot winds of July and August begin to blow and his crops are withered before the blast. Mow if the United States wishes to people these states of the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains with happy—homes, they must make some-- move to aid tho willing hand* that are now laboring to accomplish this. What is wanted is moisture. We all know that the soil is rich and that bountiful crops could be produced if we had now and then a rain at the right time. We also know that during our driest seasons we have a great abundance of rainfall—sufficient to produce the very best of crops, but our treeless prairies shed water like the roo; of a house, so that within twenty-four hours after a good rain the earth is again dry and tho inner part of this water is choking the streams on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. future world before me and the love of ray wife and children in my heart, that I would not be hired for hire to go into one great battle again for all the gold that this great government could give me; and no man who sets a value on human life could be hind to go to battle, but for the love of countrij one million bravo men could be marshalled within thir;y days to fight to the death for freedom and liberty. Then talk of pay! When the boy has paid his mother for the pains of his birth, the days and nights of care and suffering, heartaches, furrowed-brow and white hair, then, and not until, can this government pay its soldiers in money for its services rendered. All that a son can do for his mother in t h e way of compensation is to show adequate appreciation, and that is all that tho government, can do for its soldiers. Dom Pedro is said to have expressed an opinion to the effort tha,t he is the last emperor that B r a u l will ever see. Whether or hot his majesty ever expressed hiself as reported, it is certain that a revolution is pending that will lead to the early establishment of a Brazilian republic. The liberal policy of Dom Pedro in regard to slavery has expedited the inevitable. Tha liberated slaves refuse to work, and while Y.ioir places are being rapidly filled by Europeans, the feeling in favor of <elf-government is growing very rap- Idly. Brazil has a great future before it, and when relieved of the incubus of royalty, will rapidly progress in civilization and prosperit}*. . tm • Twelve young ladies of New Haven, Conn., have founded a matrimonial society, each member of which has sworn to use all means in her power to get married. The only remarkable thing about the affair is t h a t they .bare formed a society. It has been ""proposed to~T> ulld gre a t lakes or reservoirs at the foot of the Rocky mountains. This would tend t j produce a climatic change, but not great; contractors would grow rich out of such a project, while a much greater good be done by distributing this change could be wrought and more money among the farmers to construct small lakes from one-half aero to two acres in extent over this great a r e a from the Gulf of Mexico to British America, There is no doubt but the lakes would be built by the farmer if he only realized their value and had some aid from the government. Dams can be built across ravines at a trifling expense and and trees can be planted around these dams. It is well known tD thos3 who have cultivated fish that these fish ponds, occupying worthless land, render it as.valuable to them as their most choice and productive, for one or two acres stocked with fish would furnish their families with that luxury that but few farmers enjoy. This idea was presented to my mitid as I watched a he:ivy rain in June. It came down in torrents; everv little rivulet was choked with water. There was water everywhere. As I watched it rapidly flowing by,the thought came, if we could only store this surplus there would be enough to carry us through the next dry season, which we are sure will soon como. If an appropriation were made by the United States, and each state also gave to this enterprise, then each man could be paid a fair price for his land and something each year to keep it in repair. This money would provide for the prosent wants of many a poor man who is now laboring hard on the frontier for the support of a family, and it would also aid him in making himself a homo, while the ponds would furnish his family with nourishment. The government would soon learn that tills money had been well spent. . B-ut the greatest benefit that would be derived by the common wealth would be in the great climatic change that these lakes would produce. Every section of load should have one o r more of these lakes, in some oases they might be large enough to hold water for irrigation, but the idea is to have them for the purpose of evaporating basins. There being thousands of thetn, they would represent a yast area of water surface friuged with trees that would make a quick growth aud keep these ponds from too rapid evaporation. T h e n our hot winds, or the "simoons of the American desert." blowing over these bodies of wat er, would cause evaporation, and become cooler, so that they would be robbed of their terror. As they wafted thia moisture northward over a country cooled by innumerable lakelets, these vapors would become condensed, and fall in the form of rain. Again, the north wind will carry the remaining moisture to the south, and, there w?.ter the thirsty crops of that region. Thus we see, as our winds blow almost diiectly north,and south, that instead of this moisture being lost to this section, it would again and again be wafted back and forth over this arid region, and the country that is now looked upon as being almost uninhabitable would yield to the farmer a most productive harvest. It is a well known fact that since this country has been opened up and a large amount of land been brought under cultivation the rainfall has increased. We also know that over forests, bodies of water and even cultivated land, the temperature, is cooler than over the uncultivated prairies; thus the coolness causes the moisture floating over to be condensed and it falls in the form of rain. One can notice in dry seasons, when we have but now and then a shower, that thf?y seem to follow the great water courses. Wo can attribute this to the same cause. The atmosphere being cooler there, these vapors are condensed in their passage over it and rain is the consequence. Farther proof might be given, but tho reflecting mind will see that a great change would come over this country, and for every dollar that was given to help tho industrious pioneer, the government would receive tenfold in tho increase of its revenue and the additional wealth of these great plains. We must make ,some move in this country to improve our condition. This subject is one which should not only interest the farmer, but the mechanic and merchant as well, for without moisture we have but an arid region, a barren desert. Every senator and congressman from the Pakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and Colorado should act in . unison to secure an appropriation from the United States, and tin: legislatures of every state and territory should oifer pome substantial aid to it •; pioneers to construct these reservoirs. Kansas standing out as a bright star in tho galaxy -Qi~ siate^ Ln_ ev-ery mayjjincut. that helps to elevate mankind, can do no better than to see that this idea is carried out. Let this subject be agitated, societies formed and aid asked for from tbc states and the United States; then an interest will be awakened. The farmer, seeing the great value of these reservoirs, will begin to build them, and if an appropriation of a million a year for the next ten years can be secured to these states and territories of the eastern slope of tho Rocky mountains, it will not only bring us plenty j of rain, but it will distribute $U ),000,OOo where it is most needed, for it will aid a people that is as deserving and that needs tho protecting aid of the government as much as any people in this broad land.

X am a nickel, and if you don't think I have to hustle listen to this tale of woe. J u s t .to give you a sample of what a day's work for me is I will be* gin a t he hour of S o'clock yesterday morning, when a tired compositor, who bad been slinging solid minion the livelong night, fished me out of his pocket all stained with antimony. He handed me to a street oar conductor, who cast on me one glance meant to be fascinating, and dropped me into a nest of my kinsmeu, some older, soma younger than I, and rang his bell as I touched bottom. I had just gotten on speaking terms with ray metallic sisters and cousins and aunts when up I came again, side by side with a fellow who claimed to be of genuine mintage, but who, I am sure, was made on North Clark street, and poured as change into the hands of a club man, who was going home. He carried us with a tenderness that made us think maybe that we were pretty much all ho had left after paying dues and incidentals, and when ho finally reached his home he tried to unlock the front door with ma. But finding that I was not built that way, he t r i a l a key with better results, and entered a very tidy home indeed. Then ho dropped me and my mates into a spoon-holder on the diningroom table with so much of a racket that I he ird a sleepy woman in an adjoining room ejaculate: "Oh, I know what t h i t is; it's nickels and pennies." She needn't have been so contemptuous about i t Nickels may be of small account, but they are all they pretend to be and do just what they promise, every time. Well, there we lay, while a lot of dizzy spoons, standing on their heads all around us, tried to pick up an acquaintance until daylight cams, and a ray of sunlight ran right through a rift in the curtain and touched me with a really cheery attention. Presently a girl with her hair in papers spooned me and two or three others out and carried us tightly in her hand to the butcher shop, where she rolled us across a greasy and not too tidy c*6uliter into a till as shallow as most other people whose sole purpose 4s to -held money. But we are all reasonably clean. That's what I like about a nickel. There is some character about it, and it doesn't take contamination from everything it touches, like this stuck-up paper money, which cannot travel through three pairs of hands without showing where it has been. Nickels may be handled by all sorts of people, but we never give anything away. If we know where Taseott was wo couldn't give it away. About 1> o'clock a little girl started home with me in her mitten, and pinched s.> tightly t h i t I slipped through a hole in the thumb, and roiled right down into ttb~mrdd7e"oTllio~ sidewalk. "Now,11 thought I, " I will lie hero and watch the people pass.'" But I didn't. A wanderer gobbled me up with some xcry dirty fingers and skated mo into a saloon next door to the police station so quickly that it made my head swim. r He laid-me on the bar and for a shamed half-minute I rested beside as bad a brand of fusel oil as I ever hoped to smell. Then it was gone and I ground my hardened front against the smooth cheek of a goddess of altogether too much liberty in the till. She whispered to me that she had last been held by the treasurer of an anarchist meeting. 1 was in some danger of injury there, for it was quite a drop from the. bar t j tho till and money kept tumbling in. But I put up my shield and defended myself as best I could, until a man with the smell of hayseed, cattle cars a n ! gin upon him claimed me for his own and bore me away in company with m o r e beer than was good for him. It always makes me feel mean whan a man trades a dime for me and a glass of beer—just as though we were of equal value. And then I don't think much of a man who drinks beer on a winter I morning, anyway. But he found mo worth something to him, for, after his beer quit interesting him he traded me for a morning paper down at the stock yards and I noticed the boy didn't give him any change, either, calculating on his verdancy, 1 reckon. Tho boy had two more like me and he played "heads and tails" against another boy of like riches, and won. Then he passed me over tho fragrant counter of a bread store and went homo to a very late breakfast with a loaf of bred like an Ericsson torpedo. Before I got acquainted with tho people in ors hint that it is taken west bv gov- the till tho baker drew me ernment contractors to feed tho Indians 4 o u t a n d h ^ndod mo to a scrub woman and supply our army with dailj' bread. ,In very dry summer weather this dust 'fills the air of thai mill and is often explosive. Twice there have been accidents of the kind iu this Industry, who had just polished the floor. She had done a good deal of work, and I felt somewhat lonesome with the few who wont with me to pay her; but when she traded me for a package of amoktie gift ••; had n l u s • lng tobacco next door I fc& ^ ^ ^ ^ I thought she had had c o o u g a T ^ ^ n 1 * mind stopping to tall you t h a t U I h a * to get down on my ka*a* and grind around over a wet floor b a l l a n h o u r for a dime that I wouldn't smoke r « r y , much. But the tobaeconiat was a right' good fellow, and when h i * little glth came in from the living rooms rear, in a jaunty hood and a toft, cloak, he gave me to h e r withou ing a word. And I t h o u g h t t h e n was the first time all day any one given me up just for p u r e love. T h e r e wero three more like m e in h e r pocket* and one went for car fare, one for caramels, and the last ono dropped into a notion store for so neat a little purse t h a t nobody would have noticed t h e r e was no money left to go inside. Presently a man bought some kerchiefs, and I went out to hi change, finding just one fellow in pocket—a near relation, by t h e way, one of the San, Francisco branch of o u r family, and just my age. T h e man handed us out together for a very common dinner indeed, and I began to hope we might travel together uwhilo, when down I wont again in change to an exquisite fellow with a fur collar on his overcoat and a shiny plug hat, I noticed he seemed ashamed of having eaten in such a cheap place, and dodged a little as he reached the s t r e 3 t He spent me for cigarettes, and for the first time all day I felt like protesting. I had been in some honest hands and done 6orae square trading, and I do think it was asking a good deal of me to go an even trade for a bunch of foolkillers. But it seemed to be a busy Saturday, and I w a s out again in no time and away with a m a n who thought I was worth as much as a little piece of champaigne-soaked tobacco which'lay beside me. After such judgment I wasn't surprised to see myself spinning over a bar into a saloon' till again, whore I lay until a little girl got me and carried me off in the sams hand which bore a bucket of beer, while a pretzel filled h e r other hand. She seemed such ,a nice child that I hoped she might soon learn from eminent authority t h a t intoxicating drink is never sold to children in Chicago. It seemed 1 was on a downwal- crtending course^^ just_m7wr,~for~from her home, squalid and cheerless, I went to a Chinese laundry for a shirt that should have been done up at home; and I wondered as the pig-tailed leper handled me how long it would take a lazy, beer drinking wife to do up a hard working husband. The Chinaman bought rice with me, as might have been expected, and I rolled into the till of a busy cashier of a mammoth store, glad to escape anywhere. The girl cashier pulled me up again in a m i n u t e and sent me away as change, and I fell into the warmest, softest hand 1 had known in years. I t was the hand of a mighty pretty young woman, whoso good clothes bore a faint perfume, and whose honest loving care in buying for some one at home made me wish I might know her better. She put mo into a soft little purse beside some of that awful paper money and against one of the yellow aristocrats of our species, but when she got on the street car she picked me out with pretty gloved fingers, and I kissed them for luck before I dropped into the conductor's gaping pocket. I crept well down into a corner and lay there secure from disturbanca while many of my relatives c.irae and went, and I could plainly see through my prison wall that many strong young" men sat still while tired or weak women stood up and clung to the straps, swinging back and forward with the changing impulse of the cable. But tho gener.J condition was compensated now and then when a strapping young woman sat down thankless in the seat yielded to her by a weary old man. At length the whirling, jerking conduct of tho car told me we had almost reached the nothern limits, and I began to think I would mingle again with tho nu nickels down town, when at thof moment I went to a fat, warcn-pa man who pressed me warmly.—( go Herald.

T o the Editor.—* see that newspaper articles are again making their »ppeanuu.« calling attention to matters pertaining t o be 1th a» well as to t h e means wnereby disease may be removed and good health preserved. I am thereby reminded that I have received from time to time,, pamphlet publications issued by t h e well-known firm of by H. H. Warner & Co. which dwell on the history and growth of kidney diseases; showing how such i s t h e cause of consumption, heart, brain and nervous disorers, which can be only success fully treated by removing the primary disease from the kidneys. At t h e same time care is taken to remind the reader that W a r n e r s Safe Cure i s the only means whereby the physician or the individual can Ruocessfuily prevent and cure this class of disease. Whilst I have pergonal cause to feel grateful to Warner's Safe Cure, for the benefit which I derived from it when suffering from kidney troubles last spring, I cannot see, since, that remedy is already s o well known in every household, w h y the parties interested in its manufacture should continue to expend money in calling attention to what ihe public already knows so well. I am aware, Mr. Editor, "that the members of the medical profession are seldom di-ipesed to give due credit to proj rietary medicines, but public confidence in likely to be even more shaken in those learned gentlemen since the startling d n closures in the Robinscu poisoning cases were mode in Somerville, Mass. Here it was discovered, through the efforts o* an insurance company, that eight cusei of death irom arsenical poisoning had occurred—seven of tbem in one family, and within Jive years and the other that of a relative—wherein t h e true cause of death had not been even suspected by prominent physicians who were in attendance, b u t who treated the cases for other causes, and finally, when death occurred, issued certificates for such causes as pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, etc. After such an evidence of the utter in competency of those physicians who were regarded as expei-ts in iheir profession, I cannot conceive w h y it will ho longer necesBury for further advertising to be done in behalf of Warner's Safe Cure, since I deem the Soraerville disclosure to be the best possible endorsement of the good sense manifested by those who take matters of health in their own hands and use a remedy which experience has shown to be fully ndapted for the purposes intended, instead of trusting themselves in experimental hands.

This entitled Mr. Topp to *:»,0.10, which was promptly paid on presentation of his ticket. Mr. Topp has held tickets in drawings on several other occasions, and at different times drew small s.ums—enough to about, cover his expenses. On this occasion he drew a handsome sum—au nmiAint that i^ivos him a good start and rnnkes hira independent. He i'i a clever pentlemun, and his many friends congratulate him on his good luck. Our Duels Hill friends have always been quite lucky in the drawings of the Louisana State Lottery. Lost fall Mr. Dink Butt drew *.>eu, and other parties have drawn small sums ranging from &*> to *75. These fae s inspire a g>cat deal of confidence in the fairness of the drawing. Most of the tickets procured wore purchased direct from M. A.Dauphin, Now Orleain, La.

President Harrison will confer a favor upon an anxious store of appli cancy on the supreme bench at once. It was expected two weeks ago and th« candidates and their friends ac« very impatient. . It is hinted that the President is retarded by the quality of tlie applicants. H'so, heis, over particular, for certainly a do/on men as ah e as Chief Justiee Fuller have presented themselves, and it did not take Mr. Cleveland Ions: to select Mr, Fuller, the truth is that the few m e n # a t t h e very front of the lepral profession could not be induced, on account of the smalloess of the salary to accept the position. The honor would not prove sufficient inducement, for although the a n o i n t m e n t mjtfht still look well in a biojfi-aphyrthe, character of the m?n appointed to the "supreme tench in the last twenty ytais has heen such as to >lower the former standard. The candidate most talked of is Attorney General Miller, it would be, of bourse personally pleasing to the President to thus honor him, but he might find a serious objection in that it would deprive him of his oldest and most Bteadfast friend in the cabinet * IT he can do it without seriously incommoding himself, you may be sure that the President will thus elevate his old law partner. The necessary changes in the cabinet would 1¾ easy. Secretary Noble originally expected ana particularly desired to bo Attdruey-ueneral. The multiplicity of annoying details in the work of the interior department and the uterine diM'ejjard of sound law practice in its various bureaus, have combined to make bis official life a burden. Added to this he has political ambition, beii>£ eyen ' said to 'nave the Vice-presidential bee in his bonnet and fnrthur a habit of trying to do the work of the entire department, in so far as distributing all patronage and supervising nil orders are concerned. Decidedly, Mr. Koble would make a good Attorney-General, and the administration would be relieved by the transfer. i>f^u- wry stmli.

Such an event, Mr. CUrk^on would doubtless be appointed Secretary of the fnterort a-pf^^tic^r-M^itdHie-rms frVr?t-n-&H C'ovetod. To the politicians of the Republican party, His selection would be e'minently satisfactory. It is said that in his present position of Assistant Post-master General lie consider* party seryice as the first and supremerecornuiendation for office. lie is a spoilsman after the heelers own heart, though He would not go so far as^to aproint a man whom he honestly thought incompetant. It was stated when Mr. Clarkson accepted his present position that the first vacancy in the cabinet would be his. At that time it was though* that John Wanamaker had accepted the post-office portfolio merely for the honor and would soon resign. That, however, is how extremely improbable, andv the present is most decidedly Mr. Clarkson's golden opportunity. H these cabinet changes be made Mr. Cbauncey I. Filley, of St. Louis, would doubtless be selected to till the yacancy caused in the Assistant Post-master Generahhip. The death of Allen Thorndyke Kice adds to President Harrison's trials, that of selecting a new llnssian minister at as early day as possible. The pressure for the place commenced as soon as the breath was out of Mr. Kice's body. Half a dozen prominent statesmen w<?re on band this morning ready to urge the claims of various candidates. < I believe that William Walter'Phelps will be the lucky man, at least if Secretary Blaine has his* will. Friday was indeed murderer's day in Washington last week. Beside a hanging there was a murder and suicide. A blear vagrant shot his wife to death in the presence of the scholars she was engaged in teaching and took his own life. She left a letter of >nllloo'. l v s .

A Lansing correspondent of a Detroit paper Bays: Another lively scramble over Upper peninsular lands is inevitable. This time It is the mining investors and the the homesteaders arrayed against an English syndicate known as the "Michigan land and iron company." The struggle may be long and bitter. Between Marquette and L'Anse nearly 700,000 acres were granted to the Marquette, Houghton & Ontonagon railroad company in alternate sections within a limit of 20 miles on either side of the track. When the state gave a patent to the railroad company the latter was allowed to select the lands where it chose instead of being compelled to take those nearest the line of the road. As a result, the lands south of the road, t h a t were liable to prove rich in iron deposits, were selected, and there is still a large number of alternate sections north of the right of way,but within the 20 mile indemnity limits, that were not conveyed to the company, aud it has no claim 10 them watever. These lands comprise nearly 30,000 acres, and form a strip nve miles wide in Baraga county, extending in an irregular curve from Keweenaw Bay on the west to Lake Superior on the east. There is a consider able amount of agricultural land within this territory, but the most of it is rough and broken and, it is now believed, is rich in gold aud silver ores. The Marquette, Houghton & Ontonagon grant wan transferred some time ago to the English syndicate, und the latter through its agent, a Mr. Stevens of Madison, Wis., has notified the state land office t h a t it proposes to hold the Baraga county strip as well. Tho alternate sections in this strip have all been certified to the state, and as they are not coterminous with or opposite to an uncompleted iwrtiou of the railroad, they were not forfeited by the recent act of congress. In the expectation ol a general forfeiture of all unearned lands, a considerable number of homesteaders have settled on the s t r i a It is alleged t h a t the syndicate ha* already begun u warfare against tho squatters, und that its agents are burning isolated cabins and crowding off the owuers. At Skanee, on Huron B a y , ' t h e r e is a settlement of 40 or 50 Scandinavian farmers and fishermen. The settlement has a j-ostoffice and has existed seven or o g h t years. These people have not yet beeu disturbed, but are on the anxious seat. Rep. Wagner has introduced in the house a resolution requiring the state to relinquish the lands. '1 ho passage of this would Btraighten out the trouble. The officials of the railway company admit that the road was given patents for all the land it has or can earn, but nevertheless it will require another act of congress to forfeit the unearned cer dried indemnify lands if the state does not relinquish. This may involve sever.11 years more of waiting, and in the meantime the English syndicate will reign supremo on the Baraga strip its well as in its control of a number of descriptions south of the railroad which were certified anduot patented.

We left Port Austin with a free wind, the weal her thick and smoky When about lf> miles off Presque Isle at 12:30 a.m. Friday we heard'three blasts from a steamer's whistle. About hulf an hour later the mate ordered me to put the wheel over and let her come up into the wmd. I then saw the steamer about \'i feet from us. She struck us just aft the lorerigging. The schooner sunk under her how. The crew on deck took to the rigzing und went down With the \esscl. I was saved l>v being picked up by a yawl from the Kanne.v. The captain -was saved by a line hcinc thrown to him by the Ranney s c r e w . Mrs. Cole, the cook, stood aft, h< Iding on the schooner's wheel, when the schooner sunk. Kvery passible effort was 'made by the 1J-. nney s crew to save us. Tho steamer's enyines were backing when we caise together. The weather wiis so thick we could sec on.y a short distant o. I think the schooner sunk in from twenty to thirty seconds after being struck. She- went down head first, our raaia boom going over the lUnney's b ;w» as sne went down. We were blowing our fog horn L;11 the time, giving proper sign Ms, which were understood by the steamer. Three of the crev. were below w h e n ' t h e Vessel sunk.'' BAD FOR H O W A R D CITY.

The fire broke out in*.u building occupied as a grocery, with living rooms on the second noor, by Caspar Schutt, who with his family, had started for a day's visit iu the country but. a short time before. There was a smart breeze blowing at the time, and in the absence of any fire protection the flames were rapidly communicated to eleven business houses and fifteen residences. An engine was telegraphed for from Grand Rap.d.% but such effective and heroic work was dona by citizens with buckets that the flames were placed under control and the order countermanded. Ugly rumors of incendiarism have been circulated, but are not credited. The losses will aggregate between $."0,- 000 and ¢(:0,000, partially covered by insurance. generalissimo, E. C.

Sinos the reeent publication of the letter received by Prof. Willits, assistant secretary of agriculture, respecting the existence of a machine t h a t will take the flax liber from the sUlk without wetting, the department has been burdened with letters showing a national interest. One of the letters received was from a manufacturer in the northwest who has invested noarly $100,000 in the business of flax manufacturing, which has produced a deep impression at the department. The writer says he has made two tripe to Ireland and Belgium and has seen the operations of the machine referred to, and confirms ail that is claimed. He further agrees with the original writer that the country is on the verge of a great revolution In the production and manufacture of Max. Considerable interest is shown tn t h e correspondence In the success of the experiment of growing flax more abundantly, as a solutiou of the difficulties and burdens which, it is said, is forced upon the farmers of the northwest by the twine trust. The letters say that tho price of twine has been increased by tho t r u s t until it costs the farmer a bushel of oats for a pouud of twine, and they are clamoring for relief. In Michigau the legislature upiwinted a committee to investigate and report upon the expediency of introducing the mauufa.ture of twiue iuto tho prisons as a means of relief, but their inquiries developed tho fact, Prof. Willits says, that the corner of the truBt extended to the raw material itself. The department is considering in connection with the flax question, the whole sub.ect of the growth of fibrous plants, especially ramie, hemp und;ute. A Train Wrecked.

The of thought had, been toward that bord where the natural merges Into the roatural, or at least takes on csrtaiu mysterious characteristics. Probably all such manifestations may be explained by natural luws, and will be better appreciated when the suspected sixth sense reaches a higher state of development; but the uncertainty oi their opinion lends a delightful mystery to their discussion. The evening following this desu ltory leo ture on psychology, my chum Ellen Fay, nd myself threw aside our German gram and lexicons with our lessons half preand in sfidy gowns and slippers our easy chairs to the grate to discuss thor the fascinating study in abnormal ditions of the mind. An hour or more bad passed in conversation, when, with the sort of feeling that make) children cresp close to the brightest spot by the fireside after a recital of some thrilling ghost Htory we drew a little closer to the fire with a side glance at th3 half-open door, and the long corridor outside. We sat silent for a little while when El len said in a slow, dreamy fashion: "Yes, it is very strange." "What is strangeJ" I questioned sharply. ' Ellen started. "I thought yoj were speaking of Mr. and Mrs. Kimball," she said, looking at me with strangely brilliant eyes. "I was thinking of them," I replied, "but I did not speak. . I was thinking how strange it is that so handsome a man should have married a woman so exceedingly plain." Ellen turned pale. •'Were you truly Mattic!"she said. "I know, now, that you did not speak; but that thought was, somehow, presented to my miDd as clearly as if you had actually spokken." This was bringing our p\vcbolo?y studies too near home. I shook off tho little shivers that were trembling down my spina, and rushed to tho half open door, shutting it with a bang that sent the echoes trembling down the silent hall. "Come, Ellen, let's go to bed. You look like a ghost, and I certainly feel lixe one af- .ter such an unearthly evening. I believe I prefer normal to abnormal manifestations, myself," and I bustled aroand with unusual energy to make preparations for retiring. Ellen aroused herself, too, an! we h a ! soon disposed of ourselves for the night, as we supposed; but we both lay re3tles3 and wakeful, not daring to talk lest we should revert to tho fascinating subject which had already unnerved ns. The night was a still, soft winter night, ?ith a full moon shining upon the spotless snow. We loved to lie with the moonlight streaming into th:> room, a n d ! knsw Ellen's strong nevvos must bo unusually tense wiien she said fretfully; ''Can't you draw the blind down, Mattie, I can't sleep in this insufferable light." I reached out for the cord when she sat up in bed, her o.yes shin in-JT, her nands cold and the vibration of a tremendous willpower in her voice. "It's no use MiUtic, 1 must go. I t ' s the very height of absurdity, bat I can't help i V "Go! go where?" I asked, all my sharpness and latent common sence aroused. "Somebody wants me down tho re near tho bridge. I must go, Mat tie, I must go " I remonstrated in .vain. J did not soften my opposition with any sympathy for her ridiculous notion. My will was the stronger and I could usually persuade her into my way of thinking; but to all my arguments die made no reply. She got up and began to dress. "1 wish you would go with me. Mnttio," she said coolly. "You know I am such a coward." I was dressing, too. u* fast, as my irembling fingers would let mc, for I am free to confess that my nerves had completely surrendered. "I'll go, of course, if you go," T said, "but I'll refer the preceptress to you for explanation, if the faculty get hold of this escapade." Ellen said nothing in reply, but brought out our cloaks, overshoes a.nd long hooded water-proofs from tho ciosj*. In a few moments wc were creeping stealthily through the halls, with our hoods drawn clos? around our faces, and thick veils ready to put on when we exchanged the darkness of the corridors for the brightness of the moonlit walk. Wc made our exit through a small, private door, opening into the kitchen garden, and wc were obliged to climb tho high, close fence surrounding it to get out into the street. Muffled up as we were it was not s s ^ " i r ' performance, but wc finally aecomshed it. co upon the street we walked rapidly silently toward the little bridge which ien spoke of, a slicht structure thrown t'neross a ravine, which a few rods below, opened upon the river. As we reached the bridge we saw a man coming swiftly toward us. Ellen seize! my arm with a clutch that loft its mans for several days, but I was too excited to feel the pain which such a grasp must have occasioned. Wc dared not turn back and cot;!.' only mcot what .scorned to us. at that moment, an awful destiny sweeping down upon us. Tho spot was an intensely lovely one busy and populous city. Behind us ;he college grounds quiet and deserted, \ the angular buddings rising told and •bidding among the leafless trees. Jn lay a immuv, gloomy street while nt rur loft, the dark liver roared foaming between the rows of great factories and mills. No policeman war- in sight, not a creature llisturbed tin? silcuc? of the mklu'ght except rur trembling selves and the man coming toward us with such reckless haste. He did not soo us until quite near and then halfstopped with a muttered imprecation; but quickly collectod himself and walked rapidly past us». Tho moonlight fell full upon his face tor ;bo mouic.it tun4, ho stopped, and Ellen's grip upon my arm tightened. No wonder. It was Mr. Kimball. We walked slowly until be had turned around a corner, out of tlcht, and then we turned and ran like • pair of frightened rabbits. We clambered over the kitchen-garden fence with more haste than dignity, stole in through the little door and crept like a couple of sneak thieves up to our room. "I am glad we are out of that scrape," I gasped. Ellen smiled a peculiar smile, "And 1, too," she said. We went to bed again, and to sleep this time. The next morning the sun rose as usual; the cold gray of the morning toned down the high coloring of tho midnight adventure, and the ordinary routine of work began again with nothing out of the usual way except that Ellen and I both answered "unprepared" in German. The professor looked at us searchingly over bis glasses. Whether or not our faces betrayed any unusual emotion, I cannot say, but I know my heart was throbbing In a very erratic manner. It was our secret, that escapade. Sometimes we met Mr. Kimball and his wife, for they see mod to be inseparable, and Elleu would flash me a glance of mock tragedy from her black eyes. We even gave a name to the little episode. We called it the Strange Experience and then abbreviated to "S. E.,"to the mystification of our friends. I3y and by our college days were ended. We soparated and the strange experience passed out of our minds and lives. * « A dozen years later Ellen Fay, now Ellen Thompson, came to make me a visit The slender, big-eyed girl had developed into a handsome matron. Much of whaj. we used to call "spirituality" had vanished from her face, but it had gained in strength and repose, and she was the same genial, delightful friend as of old. One evening we denied ourselves to all our little world, and safely hidden behind the portiere of the stuay, we thought we could devote ourselves to reminiscences. Both our lives had been very full and busy and the present had so fully occupied us that we had not spared an hour to those dear days of our early friendship until this evening, when we deliberately barred out everything and everybody, determined to devote this time at least to our college days. Ellen very nearly filled the great easy chair, but her slippered feet upon the fender still slender and dainty, suddenly recalled to me that evening when we sat in that same fashion, by the fire in the "Ladies Dormitory" of C College, and talked about "supernatural manifestations. I laughed quietly to myself as I inquired: "Ellen, do you remember tho "Strango Experience;" Ellen smile! ever so slightly and then looked sober. "It is the one thing in my life that I cannot understand," she said. "Did you ever hear the sequel J" "The sequel! No. indeed. Is there a sequel'" Tasked incredulously. "Yes, there is a sequel, a n ! a very remarkable one. You may call it a coincidence, if you like, but I must confess to have felt a sort of creeping sensativn when I heard it. About two years ago I met a Lady at a dinner party whose face seemed strangely familiar but whose identity was completely lost. She was dressed plainly in black and her hair was quite white although her face was not old. I ' w a s so tormented by the half-knowledge of her face that I asked our hostess to present mo to her. " 'Ah, you noticed her. She certainly hr.i a rcmarKablc face, and her his'ory corresponds to it. This iTThe hrst'"t!me~8Ti"e~1ttBr come out since her husband's death.' " 'Her lace S3em3 familiar, 1 think I must have met her before.' • 'By this time we had reached her. She was the center of a brilliant and animated group and appeared to be the leader in the conversation. Her face was a study. It made me think of a battle-field where the cannon were half hidden by the spring flowers, and the graves wore seen only as green undulations. At the first availab'.o opportunity my friend presented her as Mrs. Kimball. Instantly I. knew where I had se^n her. We talked a Utile as people do at such places a n ! then parted, with tin determination on my part to itnow her better, "My friend had certainly described her face in calling it 'remarkable.' You know we used to thin'.c her very plain, almost ugly. In fact the 'strange experience' hinged upon our simultaneous thought in that very particular." Ellen laughed a httio and then went on. "She did not seem to mo nearly as plain as I had rememberel her. Her gray hair softened the effejt of her face, I thinlc, ami that alert, suspicious glance that used to s^ amuse us was quite gone. She had the chastened look of one who had com? up through greit tribulation. I foun! her quite accessible, indeed, glad to mak: new friends in a strange city, and when she found that I had spent four years in C she treated me like an old, familiar friend. She was usually quite reserved, but she gave me her confidence with at least no con scfou* -retort on my part to gain it. Naturally, .- felt interested in her, particularly ns wc yvis used to speculate so much about hot - n ! her husband, and I supposed 1 may ;» roll confess to a little curiosity nt the y.i\ cm; but as soon as I had learned to know !;«)'. i loved her to.} well to wish to pry int.i ner socrets. Little by little, however, sh3 told mc about herself. I will condense the story for you." "You needn't," I answered. It is as interesting to me as a 'tobe-continue;l-in-ournext.' "~ Ellen gave her shoulders that little deprecating shrug that used to be so charming when she weighed1 a hundred pounds or so, and went on with her story. "Sho was an orphan and an heiress. She had been educated on rather a severe plan, and her education instead of softening her angularities of face and disposition, had intonairled them. All tho latmt nobility of her nature was smothered in tho oppressive moral atmosphere in which sho had b»nm reared. An ill dispositioned relativo had impressed upon her mind from her earliest youth that no man would ever marry a person of her facial and mental obliquities except for her money, and she was exhorted to be thankful that providence had not altx*- gether forgotten to provide her with an attraction. Naturally under such assurance she avoided society and hated men, and looked with suspicion upon any friendly advances. Sometimes she hated her money and laid plans for founding some great charity with it and then retiring into obscurity. Sometimes she gloried in it becaus3 it gave her power—the only power she was ever likely to know—and once she forgot it." Ellen contemplated her last sentence with the complete understanding of a woman whose married life had been much more than the fulfillment of the hopes of her betrothal. "Yes, she. forgot it, and herself. She forgot that-she was plain and angular and unlovely. She knew only that she loved and was beloved. One man had penetration enough to see through the reserves with which she had hedged herself about, and to discover a sensitive, loving, noble nature behind this environment They were married. Unfortunately, her husband was poor and handsome, but they lived a whole year in Paradise, and then the serpent introduced himself. "One day she overheard a pretty little woman exclaim, 'Heavens, how could so handsome a man marry so ugly a woman!' Her husband heard it, too, and turned to her with some laughing remark upon his lips, but he did not utter it. 'No doubt I looked ugly enough at that moment to have jUBtitied any comparison,' she said. Sh« became morbidly unhappy. She Insisted upon their leaving home and seeking new associations. Then they came to C—. Her husband cared for her with the most tender affection, thinking this sudden change must be due to some derangement of the nervous system. He consulted physicians. Those who were Bhrewd enough to discover the truth, dared not tell him their conclusions. The demon of jealousy was aroused and all the peace offerings made but added fuel to the angry flames. She had given all. It was the one dariDg venture of her life and she deemed that it had failod. She told me that it was simply torture for her to cross the college grounds with her husband, for all the girlish faces they met so Constantly confessed an involuntary admiration of her husband, and a surprise at the contrast with herself. How well I remember, when she told me that, how the girls used to 'rave' as we said in those days about the handsome, darkbrowed man who never even glanced at any of us, and whose mind was evidently far enough away from his own perfections, or the admiration of a lot of silly girls. " What her life was at that time I suppose only a strong, passionate nature like her own can possibly comprehend. I hope I may never know." Ellen gave a little shudder. "Her husband's life was as wretched as her own. His position laid him open to the suspecion of having married her for her money, and I suppose there was no cruel, bitter taunt that she left unsaid. Talk about a hell," said Ellen reflectively. "It does not seem possible that there can be a much worse one than two natures line Mr. and Mrs. Kimball's arc capable of making for each other. "So things wen t on from bad to worse until life became a torture for thorn both, and one night her husband, who by the way must have certainly be?n an exceptional man, for the hrst and last time was stung into replying to her cruel words. He left the house in a white heat of anger, and told her that she need never expect to see his face again, that she might reserve her suspicions for someone more worthy of them. She followed-4rtffl,-tHHveriug under ilia pas.-., sion, not daring to cajl after him; her heart filled with a terrible fear. Just at the 'corner, in the shadow of the church her strength gave way. She could i. it spoak nor move, but her whole life was < oncentrated in her eyes, as she watched Him going to the mad surrender of his unhappy life. Her whole soul was in an agony cf supplication for so:ue one to stop him, to save him, and jU*t then two dark figures came in Bight. A flood of tears relieved the intensity of her feelings. She felt that she was saved. She saw her husband hesitate as the two passed hira. She saw hira stop again at the end of the bridge where the little foot-path lei down to that torrent of roaring waters, and t^.en go irresolutely on, and then she crawled back to her desolute home. "That w;;s the last she knew for many weeks. When.she came back to the world upon whose threshold she had lingered so lonir, her husband sat beside her. When she was strong euough he told her all. How the two dirk robed women on the bridge had cause! him to postpone his dark intentio: L how a walk of a block or two had brought him into the companionship of a belate! acquaintance. How his better judgment came ba"k as tho heat of his passion die 1. an I he ha! made some excuse for his untimely appearance, and had consented to pass the res* of the night with, his friend, an i how, in the early morning a messenger sought him out, saying that his Wife was very sick an! Knew no one; how, through those long, delirious weeks he had learned that th.» bitterness of her jealousy was but the excess of her love, and how he comprehended for th.3 first time what her life ha I been and what his love had meant to her. and then-there w.t3 pe.ico between them. Even when death parted them «he ecu id say that it was less bitter than tuat first terrible experience. 'He is mine still,' sne says with that quiet assurance that one canmt doubt." Ellen leaned back in her chair and crossed her plump, white hands. "Did you tell her your part in what camo so near being a tragedy ?" I asked. Again Ellen shrugged her plump shoulders. "No, I couldn't;" an I then with a little laugh, "It was a case whore the sublime was terribly near the ridiculous, and—with my avoirdupois—" I laugnod with her, but only said: .- "Thero se -ms to be no occasi on to change the name of our little adventure."—Milwuukes Wisconsin.

T H E C O U N T R Y PARSON. m i . , . H a W o r k s t h e " S o l d i e r of t h e L e g i o n " G a g o n H i s D I a o o n a l C o m r a d e . T h e parson of a country c h u r c h w a i lying in hia bad; three months' a r r e a r s of salary was pillowing his head; his couch was strewn with tradesmen''s bills that pricked his sides like thorni, and nearly all life's common ills wore goading him with horn3. T h e deacon sat beside him as th.3 moments ticked away and bens his head to cutch the words his pastor had to say: "If I never shall aride from this hard bed on which I lie, if my warfare is accomplished and it is time'for tu3 to die, take a message to the »ection b3- fore I pa3s away; tell him fires are /or December and open doors for May. Tell him when he lays the notices upon the pulpit's height to shove them 'neath the cushion, far out of reach and sight. And when h e hoars the preacher's voice in w h i s p e r soft expire, t h a t is the time to slam the door and rattle a t the Are. And tell the other deacons, too, all through the busy week to hang: their boots up in the sun to hatch a Sunday squeak, with steel shod cane to p r o ! the man who comes to sleep and snore; and use the boys who laugh in church to mo;j the vestry floor. There's another, too, the woman who talks the sermon through; tell her I will not mind her buzz—my hearing hours are few; tell h e r to h a n g her mouth up some Sunday for a minute and listen to a text, a t least, without a whisper in i t And tell t h e board of trustees not to weep with bittsr tears, for I can't be any deader now than they have been for years. And tell half my congregation I'm glad salvation's free, for that's the only ohanca for them—between the desk and me. And a farewell to the choir—how the name my memory racks! If they could get up their voices as they do get up their backs—why the stars would hear their music and the welkin would rejoice, while the happy congregation could not h e a r a single voice. But tell them I forgive them, and oh, tell them, that I said I wanted them to sing for me—when you're sure t h a t I am dead." His voice was faint and hoarser, but it gave a laughing break, a kind of gurgling chuckle, like a minister might make. And the deacon he rose slowly, and sternly he looked down upon the parson's twinkling eye with portentous frown, and he stiffly said "good morning" in he went off in his Ire, for the deacon was the leader of that amiable choir.—Bob Burdette in Brooklyn Union.

A Goose K?eps Guard For a Cow. In a recent number of the Christian Union I read the article "A Kitten at School."' It brought to my mind an incident that came under my observation while spending a few days in the family of a relative in Seymour, Ind., last October, In that city, like most of the Western towns, the hogs and cattle run at large through the streets. One noon as I was leaving the house with my friend, he called my attention to a cow and a goose near the cow. A quantity of refuse from the kitchen had been thrown into the gutter, which the cow seemed to eat with a relish, and close by the side of her stood a large gray goos;?, as it seemed to me, doing guard duty for the cow. While this cow was eating throe or four other cows came up from behind, but the goose would not allow them to come near h e r cow, but drove them away as they approached. This is not all about this goose. I was t^ld by my friend that about two years before sho went with this cow she attended another cow. H e r first pet died. The goose left her former home after that and attached herself to this cow, which belonged to a family living some distance away. I saw her. one or two days aftor this occurred, by the side of tho cow, and so fearful t h a t some one m i g h t injure her or h e r mate that sho would attempt to follow you with such demonstrations as only goose can make.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A GREAT DISCOVERY, Apparently Hamltss Symptom* Prevt to bt a Mint tf Dmgtr. Some Scientific Facts which Aro Arousing the Community. The True Source of Heart Disease tad Apoplexy Made Pub lie. A T e r r i b l e D a n g e r T h a t C a n B e R e a d i l y Avoided. HOW IT M A F B E DOHE. There is no fact now more certain than that sudden deaths are not caused by heart disease, apoplexy or paralysis, but by other infirmities of which death is only the final stage. And physicians and scientists ail agree that rheumatism in some one of its many forms Is this cause which has stood in the background so long and caused so much misery. Any man, woman or child troubled with the slightest muscular rheumatism is in danger, and a danger from which instant escape is imperative. A man, well known in this community, awoke with a feeling of pain in bis muscles. He took a cold bath, thinking the reaction would drive tho pain from his system. It did drive it from his limbs, but it went to his heart and before night he was dead. This is only one of many similar cases. They all show the necessity of driving rheumatism, which is a blood diseaee, out of the blood, and for this purpose no modern discovery has ever equaled Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup. Mr. C. D. Uenio of Jackson, Mich., who was paralyzed on one side, was completely cured by its use, and believes he would have been in his grave to-day if be had not fortunately learned of and taken this great remedy. Should anyone who reads these linea be afflicted even in a slight degree by any rheumatic trouble, we would earnestly warn them against a delay which may prove fatal.

Last Saturday as Mrs. F. A. Sigler started to her dress-making rooms over Mr. Sigler's drug store,she stepped on a banana peeling, which threw her to the ground in such a manner as to sprain her ankle quite severely. If banana eaters would be more careful and throw the peelings away where pedestrians will not come in contact with them, less accidents would occur. The new store of Shaver & Co. will be open for business to-day. They have an elegant stock of dry goods, and in a few days will have a fine line of groeeries- -and-boote and-shees.—Tlrenrember^ of this firm are thorough business men and will, no doubt, gain a liberal sjiare of trade from this vicinity.

Her many friends in this place and vicinity will welcome her back to her old home after an absence of two years. The Stockbridge Sun was five years old last Thursday. Bro. Gildart has made the Sun shine very brightly since he has been at the helm, and the numerous advertisements that appear in its columns is an indication that it is appreciated by the business men of that place as well as surrounding towns. May the Sun shine brighter than during the past, and if a capable man at its helm will do it, it surely will. While standing on our streets the other day in search of news, and watching the large crowd that had come to onr village to trade, a parcel was handed to us by Jos. Placeway. Upon investigation wo found it to be a hen's egg that measured 2$x3 inches in eircuraferen«e. Of course the egg itself is not much ot a curiosity, but a newspaper that can't tell a good egg story does'nt amount, to much, and the DISPATCH isn't inclined to be left out in the cold. It does one good to visit our flouring mill and observe the vast amount of business that is done in that concern. The custom department is. :orer-run with work and the flouring department is running at full blast to catch up with orders tor flour from different towns,_which is a good indication that this mill has gained a good reputation for excellent $our. Wo strive to warn farmers in this vicinity cf the many swindles that arc being carried on in this state at present. The following from an exchange exposes another gang of' swindlers who are working the unwatchful farmer in different parts of this state: "There is now in existance another gang of swindlers, who are operating through Michigan. They sell apple trees oa the following terms: The agent calls on the farmer to sell him trees. He does not ask any pay for them, but simply desires the farmer to plant them on shares. The agent or his company furnishes the trees, the farmer plants them, and the company is to get half the fruit for 12 years from tim« of planting. The farmer binds himself to keep the trees pruned, etc., and also, if he sells his farm any time before the J2 years expires, he must, pay for the trees at the rate of $1.50 each. For this he gives a bond or agreement as security to the agent for |500, and this bond is registered against the land. The farmer of course does not know this. In course of two or three months another man comes along looking for a farm. He calls at the house and teUfl the fanner his farm is just what ho wants. He has the cash to pay down, and he offers him all or more than the farm is worth. They make a deal, but, of course, before he pays any money down he wants to go and examine the records at the register's office, to which place he and the farmer proceed. They find the bond registered against the place for §500, and the farmer, rather than miss so good a sale, pavB the $500 in order to give a clear"titreS He then looks up Ijis friend who has' purchased his farm, but he is nowhere to be found.

MICHIGAN the cost of making the butter is largely reduced. A creamery of the character o^ that above montioned affords an example of co-operative and associated industry of tho most useful and protitable kind. A farmer working alone labors under exceeding gr^at and varied difficulties. His expenses are needlessly quadrupled, his labor is doubled, while his income is largely^ eaten up by the expenses. A very large sum of money invested in aparatus, implements, machines and live stock lies Patrick Egan. . Patrick Egan, the Irish land loagu. er, who has been appointed our minister to Chili, was born in Ballymahan, Longford, I n l a n d , in 1841. While stil a young man he entered tho employ of the National Milling company of Dublin, and was considered tho best bookkeeper in that company. In 1868 together with James Kourke he established »n extensive bakery. He was ono of the founders of the Irish national league of which body he was treasurer. When Mr. Forster passed his coercion act, which rendered everybody in Ireland liable to arrest upon reasonable suspicion, it was thought best to transfer tho league's funds to Paris, establishing headquarters in that city. l i e remained there for nearly two years devoting his time and energy to the Irish cuise. After the release of tho Irish suspects in 1882 he returned to Dublin and resigned his troasuroship. A year Juter he emigratod to this country, settled in Lincoln, Nebraska, whore he embarked in the grain business. Mr. Egan was for some yours president of the Irish land league in America and has taken quite a prominent pavt in American politics. Allusions to Latimer, the Jackson matricide, are of frequent occurance in the state papers, though just how tho things that are reported about him are found out it is hard to say, inasmuch as he has been in solitary confinement ever sine; he has been in prison. It is equally hard to understand what good end is subserved by the publication of these items. There is nothing about the man ••worthy of emulation, and oartamly.tho. history of the crime has been widely circulated and carries its own lesson. Now that he has boon sentenced to pay the penalty for his crime, leave him to his own solitude and reflections, which, indeed, must be the hardest part of his punishment. FARM AND HOME. Deep I ntierUr»|uIng. The fact that it is difficult to economize is most clearly shown by tho coramou attempts at removing a a excess of water from the soil. Tho lirst draining is usually an open surface furrow, which, though it costs little to make, bears off iu tho water it carries tho most valuable parts of the soil. Besides, tho open drain dies not l a s t However well protected its sides crumble down by tho frosts aud floods of winter, and the drain quickly becomes tilled up so as to be neurly useless. If I o r P a , , t o f tbe y^t"*, not to speak of tho the expense of keeping an open drain in good workin,' condition b j considered?!^ will be found much greater than the interest upon a thorough system of underdraining that will never need repair. When underdraining is at last atr templed, the desire to do everything in the easiest way often defeats true economy. Stone and tile drains are laid notcmore' than a foot and a half or two feet below tho surface. Deep enough not to be disturbed by tho plow is often thought to be all that is needed. Frosts go much deeper than plows, and in the northern states no drain is safe if not sunk to a depth of two and a half or even three feet, io^ frosts penetrate the soil more deeply after underdraining than before. It is, however, surface water that pours into drains which does most damage, and if the drain be shallow, surface water will speedily work a channeKdown to it, washing dirt in and soon spoiling the drain. Deep draining is to a great extent a safe-guard against this. As the drain becomes older, the soil on either side becomes more porous and the water courses in it iind their way to the tile. We have dug dr.tins sometimes when the surface soil would be apparently dry, but at a depth of three feet a vein would be struck that would bubble with fresh, clear water, making the outlet of the drain like a spring of water more than half the year. A shallow drain would not have helped such places materially, as it is not likely that the vein would have worked up a foot higher to reach the outlet made for it. A very deep drain does not need so large a tile. M o p water flows through it, but it is a continuous, not a suddvn and spasmodic How. 1'nless surface water flows in soniewlwre, n throeinch main will carry the water from a hundred rods of ditch from what naturally soaks through the ground when laid deeply. It is best to prevent damngo by mice, rats, skunks, and above all mush rats, not to make must not be neglected, as a single plant. If allowed to grow, will cause e x t r a work. The thistlo must never bo allowed to m a t u r e seed, and if the tops are kept down the roots will be given extra duty and fail to spread, p e r s i s - tent warfare, however, Is necessary.

' deterioration in value from this dis- j Never throw away cold potatoes, as use. Under the present state of busi- there are so many delicious ways in ness and the general industry, farming is loaded down with a great burden of expenses which prevents its successful competition with other industries. Alone the farmer is . weak and comparatively helpless; but by judicious, effective and economical association with others he is strong and able to contend with any circumstances. This possibility of association in other ways than invented by Jesse Williams, tho lirst factory dairyman, is one of the brightest hopes pT farmers, and the subject is ono that calls for the most careful study and the earliest judicious action of those concerned.—Practical Farmer, l l e t t r r l'enn for Kwlne. Ono of the first requisites to a model pig pen is" t h a t it be built securely and substantially. It must have a roof; if this bo of straw, it will serve well enough. The sides of the pen also may be built of the same material at little expense, and without any sacrifice of comfort., A perfect shelter from the severe cold of winter and the rains of fail and early spring, is one of tho objects sought to be attained, and if this can be done with very slight cost, so much the better. A number of pens should be included in the same shelter, making room for a sow' with her litter and a pen of young pigs. The number of pens must, o f c o u r s e . b e decided by the circumstances of the swine raiser. Besides the matter of shelter, tho question of room should be taken into consideration. As a general thing, the pens of the average farmer are to small, (live the hogs plenty qf_-exor-. j cise, Let them have ,a big roomy pen to sleep and cat in, and a large yard in I which they can root. The pen should have a floor, and should be. kept cleui. The idea that anything is good enough for a hog and that they thrive best when wallowing in filth, has gone out ' of date and been succeeded by modern ideas. We mibt not overlook ventilation in our plans. Foul air is no more healthful for hogs than for any other animals. Plenty of fresh air should be supplied both by means of openings iu front of the pons and the passage way tile does not give the larger of these to the covered .shed, and by a ventilaaTri- ma^-atry-T'httTtrcrttr work-, and it-is- tiou shaft passing out of the top of tho which they may bo warmed over and made into new dishes. A good rule for tho use ot different kinds of flour is to use pastry flour wherever baking powder is used and bread flour with y e a s t Much sickness in farmers' familios in winter is due to keeping large quantities of potatoes and other vegetables stored u n d e r sleeping-rooms. ltock cream—One teacup of boilmg rice, whiios of five eggs, beaten stiff and sweetened, three tablespoons of sweet cream.

Lobster omelet—Chop some boilod lobster into dice, h e a t it in a stewpan wiih a little butter, white pepper and a pinch of salt. Spread a teaspoonful of this on the omelot when ready to turn. Steamed oatmeal—Half a pint of oatmeal and one teaspoonfnl of salt; p u t in a two-quart basin and* pour over it ono quart of boilintr water; put in a steamer aud steam two hours.

Useful napkin rings aro made by crocheting them 'out of old gold macramo cord, and they aro made glossy and stiff by an application of varnish. Work baskets, waste paper baskets and whisk-broom holders are all durable and pretty made in this way, and brightened by bows and ribbon. drains any larger than is necessary. All of these animals are glad to find a burrow ready made for them, and if it is at times partly dry it is all the better fitted for their use. The small Michigan's legislature,might as well adjourn now as to wait until later in t h e season. Better, in fact, inasmuch as tho state will be the gainer, financially, by tho adjournment, and will not be any better if tho session lasts until the leaves fall, at the rate business has been transacted thus far the present session. The legislature is practically in session only four days in a week, and these days aro principally devoted to trying to see what important matters can be tabled or disposed of in such a manner that t h e y are practically of no benefit to the people. Lj3t the curtain be rung down upon this farS&^t once. The pigs in clover pui&k^which has netted the inventor so hand~somcJy, has suggested an entertainment which: brought good results to a church in southern Illinois. A church in the southern portion of that state recently gavo a fair in which one of the features was the pigs in clover with live porkers to bo cornered. A large fac similie of the pen was built in the hall, and after an hour or more of very hard work one of the dudes of tho place succeeded in getting the wily porker in the pen, thus earning the reward which had been offered to t h e successful one. also more apt to be flooded with water and for a long time during the year. Thorough Hushing, such as is possible with small drains, washes out many obstructions, provided the fall is good and the outlet is kept clear, as it always should be. Without an outlet there can be no permanent drain. 'J he worse case of poor outlet is where the drain is run out near the surface of the ground, and even here the water cannot get away, but tills up half or more of tho tile. Frost soon heaves this about, choking the outlet and throwing all tho water coming down from above back on itself. In this way the drain fills the land witli water, making the worst kind of morass, until in time the whole drain is spoiled.—American Cultivator. Creameries. The benefit of the creamery to the farmers interested is worthy of note for the instruction of all who are concerned in the production of milk. T h e following example will afford a subject for careful consideration. It is a creamery in Pennsylvania, and is owned by the neighboring farmers. The stock is made up of 400 shares of a " p l H ^ i l u c of $10 each. The shareholder>^ yjWt five'directors to serve one year.

On rainy days keep the fodder cutter in use by cutting all the hay and fodder for stock. All material for building should be kept under cover. Hoards absorb moisture, and swell or shrink according to circumstances. Grade up all approaches to the barn and outhouses if you wish to avoid slush. Open all ditches aud afford easy opportunity for the surface water to flow ofT. Chestnut rails make the best and most lasting fence of wood, but wire is cheaper and more easily made into a fence. No animal will attempt to pass a barbed-wire fence. Thin spots in tho pasture may be seeded. Use plenty of seed, rake the ground over, if it can be done, in order to cover the seed, and do not turn stock on until the crass has covered were made, equal to 4 U] p o u r f a a ^ r the bare places. 100 of milk: $21,,592 were paid out f b ^ D o n ' t be afraid of "burning u p " your milk, equal to $1.20 per 100 pounds, c ^ h v u s i n g too much manure It is or 3 cents per quart.

The face t h a t God h a t h our charmers is not good e n o u j them. They offend against n a much as man does when having been equipped with a beard which it wasdesigned should grow upon his fa;o h e calls in t h e barber, whose r a z o r thwarts nature.

We have had r e - peated statistics of tho nation's yearly bar bill. It is asserted coniidently t h a t we pay more for beer than for bread. J u s t what tho figures are nobody cares to remember.

Cold water and exercise may bo had for nothing, but gontlo woman, who won't as-ort what are said to be h e r ballot-box rights, spends $02,000,000 a year for zinc and bismuth and glycerine and magnesia and chalk in o r d e r to assert her right to perennial youth. T h o cosmetic maker, as the pharmacist shows, picks her pocket, but what does she care? She thinks she has received the worth of her ¢62,000,000 and is satisfied. With that $02,000,- 000 devoted to other uses, leaving soap and water to care for lovely woman's face, what might not the woman of America accomplish? She might convert all tho heathen in Central Africa; nay, she might accomplish the g r e a t e r task of c a r r y i n g sweetness and light to the heathen at her own door. W h a t hospitals she might build and endow! What schools, erect! What blessings scatter up and down the land! But God hath given her one face and she will make to herself another.

There in a wail of disappointment from the promised land of Oklahoma. It does not flow with milk and honey. Even a cup of water is hard to be had. Not every quarter section is rich in soil, and many expectants who have long patiently hovered upon the border entered with a rush at break-ucek speed to find cunning government employes already upon the ground making claim to the pick of land or lot. It speaks ill for tho character of the men selected at Washington to represent it in the opening up of the territory t h a t such charges coma from every q u a r t e r of the new land. While tho government was ostentatiously holding eveivbody back on the Kansas border, professing to givo all an e q u a l ^ h a n - 3 by preventing an advance before a given hour, measly rascals employed by tho milk is sold to the customers for onethird of a cent per quart. All this has been done to tho satisfaction of all concerned. Tho results may be summed up as follows: Twice as many cows arc kept as before: the eo\fs aro much improved in quality—the evidence of this is that the milk produc.es 4 1-:] per cent of batter; the farmers' wives aro relieved of a, heavy and engrossing labor: the farms arc greatly increased in fertility and productiveness; tho incoino of tlic farmers is increased, while ? vv, 4 , . **!

The best way to keep down thistles is to cut them off as fast as they appear above ground. No plant can induce such treatment, and the thistle is no exception. They will in time, become exhausted and die. The work must be done at the proper lime, however, and Offices were usurping tho bost sita.-i available. The departments at Washington ought to order rigid inquiry into this charge and clear their own skirts by defeating the g r e x l of these grabbers.

The rush into Oklahoma has been unprecedented; but as tho torrltory does not contain land enough for everybody seeking it and as much that will be entered will prove valueless, and a i moreover the soil there as elsewhere will not bring forth its fruits unless man labors thereunto with sweating brow, tho rush out of Oklahoma will be only loss than tho rush in.

As there are only 360 consulates to be distributed among 7,000 applicants, several gentlemen will be disappointed. T h e applicants for the P a r i s consulate are said not to be so numerous as under Mr. Cleveland's administration, when they reached ^5,000. lt is understood that the present, incumbent will be retained until next fall. In the possession of the first Assistant Secretary of the State is an alphebetical list of consulates, with a blue check against the name of every place for which somebody has been decided upon by the State department, subject to the endorsement of the President. i t is t h e frequeat failure of the Presid e n t t o approve of the blue marks that have thus far delayed the appointment of the entire selection of consuls. The •list is occassionally Hashed on a too imp o r t u n a t e candidate to show him that t h e place is already "mortgaged," but inasmuch as the candidate generally expresses his willingness to accep.t_any other consulute the remedy has no efficiacy. In the speculation concerning the a p p o i n t m e n t ot this or t h a t candidate to the vacancy in the Supreme Court, the u n w r i t t e u law of custom seems to be disregarded. Vacancies have, by this law ponerally be*en filled l.y appointment of a j u d g e of the circuit! from which the last, incumbent was chosen, iii .that way the Stu.ivmc Court becomes ^representative of the Several circuits and...where Si.ite and National laws contlictvsome one can always be found on the bench to expand them from an intimate knowledge. The only exceptions to this rule' grew out of the civil war and the reorganization period. Therefore to appoint Attorney General Miller or Circuit J u d g e . Gresham or District J u d g e Woods will be a violation of a reason- • able custom. If President Harrison follows precedent, he will look for Justice Matthew's successor in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee or Michigan. Local society is on tip-toe of expectancy over semi-official announcements and rumors of marriage to be, J ustice Horace Gray, he of the handsome face and the renowned hatred for his court brother Lamar, on J u n e Gth, will wed the daughter of his recertly deceased colleague Justice Matthews. Owing to the fact that Justice Matthews has been dead so short a time the fulfillm e n t of the vows that were pledged d u r i n g his illness will be rigidly ceremonial and the witnesses confined to the immediate relatives. The groom is a bachelor of sixty-two years, over six feet four inches tall and an unusually handsome man. Indeed, he is deemed the handsomest member of the Supreme Court. He is of old Massachusetts stock, his ancestors having burned witches and "fit into the Revol u t i o n " in true othodox style. The bride, Miss Jean Matthews is also of Revolutionary lineage, and is a lady of fine abilities. The honeymoon will be passed in Europe and on their return j the couple will occupy the J n - f i c e V fine residence here, a brick reproduction of the N«w England architecture of the colonial period.

The latter part was in the form of an agreement and was signed by both himself and his mother. It read that the both had become tired of I k i n g and had premeditated this act for the last live years. The < nly reason that he had not executed his intention sooner was because he wanted to wait until his mother became so sick of living that she would prefer death rather than that of existi nee. They had mutually ageed to take poison and end their lives then und there. The act, he says, was has-' tenet! by tho story of a woman who visited his homo and told about her confinement in the insane asylum at Kalamazoo, when she was insane. He was afraid that both ho aud his mother would eventually end there, and so ho hastened to draw up the compact of d?ath. Jt was poison that they doubtless took at first and when that was not working rapidly enough and his friend. John Gossier, discovered them in the middle of the act, ho decided to hasten the end by the bullet and sharpened wire. The physicians'think thut Mrs. Vcltc may recover. —_»-——. Weokly Crop Report.

Fifteen Hundred Paople Said to Uave Been Drowned, A liood of death swept down the AUeghaney Mountains on tho afternoon of May «1, and at nigut almost the entire city of Johnstown was swimming atJout in the rushing angry tide. Dead bodiei were floating about in every direction, and almost ofery piece of movable timber carried from the doomed city a corpse of humanity. The disaster overtook Johnatowu about six 0 clock in the evening und it is estimuted that 1,500 persons in this place were drowned. As the train bearing the special correspondents sped eastward the reports at each stop grew more appalling. At Derry u group of railroad officials were gathered who had come from Bolivar, the end of tho passable poriion of tho road westward. They had seen but a small poriion of tho awful liood, but enough to allow them to imagino the rest. Dow a through tbo Pucksaddle came the rushing waters. The wooded hi«hts of the Allcghenies looked down iu solemn wonder at the scene of the most terrible destruction that ever struck the romantic valley of Couemaugh. Clinging to improvised rafts constructed iu the death battle from floating boards and timbers were agonized men, women ami children, their heartrending shrieks lor hi.iip striking horror to tho breasts of ttie onlookers. Their cries were of no avail. Carried along at a railway speed on the breast of this rushing torrent, no human ingenuity could devi-e a meafts of rescue, With pallid cheek and hair cliuging wet and damp to her cheek, a mother was seen grasping a n\ ating timber, while with her« other arm she held her babj. The greatest excitement prevailed at Bolivar and parties of citizens were endeavoring to Bave tho poor unfortunates that were being hurled into eternity on tho rushing torrent. The tidal wave struck Bolivar just after dark and in live minutes the Couemaugh rosev from six to forty feet aud the waters spread out over tho whole country. Tho houses boaran Moating down, and clinging to the debris were men, women and children shrieking for aid. A large number of citizens at once gatiiered on the county bridge ami they were reinforced by a number from Garfield, a town on the opposite side. They brought a number of ropes and these were thrown over into the byiiing waters us persons floated by, in efforts to save some p .or beings. For a halfhour all efforts were fruitless, until at lust when rescuers were giving up all hopes, a little boy astride a shingle roof managed to catch hold of one of the ropes. Ho caught it under his left arm aud was thrown violently against an abutment but managed to keep hold and was pulled on to the bridge amid the cheers of the lookers ou. The boy s name is Edward Hess.er, aged 10. The towns of Livermore, Saltsburg, Apollo, Leechburg and Arenmore were also in the track of the deluge, and ut each of these places tho loss of life is something terrible, hundreds of homes swept away, and the destruction to property in the path of the lluod awful to contemplate. C h i c a g o ' s M y s t e r y . On the 4th of May, Dr. P. H. Cronin, an Irish phyMeian in Chicago, was called ostensibly to attend 1111 m,iirecl person in an ice house, aud disappeared at once from public view. He was reported as seen afterwards in that city, in London, New York, St. Catherine s and Toronto; and an unscrupulous reporter iu the last named city telegraphed ,1 manufactured interview with liim to the papers, lie did not return, however, and a lew days ago his putrefying remains were discovered in the manhole of a s.'we.r afc Lake View, in the suburbs of Chicago, with numerous and unmistakable murks of murder upon the head. That his murderers were Irishmen seems prohablo, as the doctor was a prominent Jiish patriot, and was believed to h a v e d i s (lowed the secret* of .some of the Irish societies. A theory that his death was the resuit of a conspiracy and del.barato vote to kill him is probi.bly sustained by an elaborate confession .made to the authorities by a suspected man named Sullivan. The IVets divulged are not yet given to the public; nut it is believed that tliey will unveil a startling and far-reaching conspiracy, with numerous acces-ories to the crime of Dr, Cronin s murder, aud other assassinations understood to have been planned, but not ,\ et ox ecu ted.

Lake City correspondent of jo Herald writes: " W i t h i>ward none, with charity for Lould bo tho golden rule govwork of those who would write concerning a system in which they do not believo. The old anecdote of the christian Bailor kicking down t h e peanut at m i of the poor Jewish woman because h e r "folks" were ••Christ-killers" is «quite like the cond u c t of many a christian writer in his attitude toward the mormons, jid bo as unjust for a mormon to ;that because tho " a g a p e " love "of the early christians was more lewd than polygamy, therefore present christians are not virtuous, as it is for christians to condemn all mormon women as concubines, all mormon children as illegitimate and all mormon men as rakes The fact is there are no polygamous m a r r i a g e > among young mormons, not even in secret. They are ashamed of the institution. T h e old polygamists hate to give up their peculiar "sin," because for fifty years they have been deluding the people with the story that the whole of mormonism, polygamy and all, was the word and will of God, and must prevail over the whole earth. If, therefore, polygamy isgiven up by the priesthood, the people will not bo slow to see that " t h e Lord" has failed. For this reason every mormon apostle and elder who preaches to "their people" harps upon " t h e persecutions" t i n t " I s r a e l " is suffering because the Lord is trying his saints, and if they only hold out strong in the faith he will see them through and give them the victory. But that is becoming a chestnut among the more intelligent mormons. They realize that tho Lord has already deserted their church or never had anything to dp with it. Then, too, selfishness is getting in its work among mormons as it did long ago among christians. It is. becoming unpopular to be a polygamist, and the young people are not going to buck against a strong and growing public opinion. Tho young men are not going into anything that will destroy their citizenship and deprive them of their right to run for office. When the baldheaded polygamists of Utah have been buried that social evil will have disappeared. Of the masses it must he said in justice that they are as sober, industrious, well-behaved peoplo as can bo found anywhere in tho United States; and, considering what was the material out of which the mormon masses' were recruited ;uid also the fact that there was not a school in Utah until 18(37. it must lxs admitted that tho mormons have made iremarkablo progress in their industrial, and intellectual development. * They have swung into tho American stream of progress; at.-lea-it their young people have done so, and there is not power enough in the priesthood to force them back and down again into that state of subjection that e x - isted while Brigham Young ruled them and coerced tho refractory with the deadly arms of the Destroying Angels. In 1878 Young was indicted by the grand jury for murder, committed, not by himself, but by his Dahites, "by order of the authorities," as tho notorious Bill Hickman testified, ho himself having "removed" several persons who had become obnoxious to Bingham. But t h a t state of things has gone forever. Young was a tyrant, and he has no successor. He can have none equal to himself in authority, because the, peoplo have been compelled to suspect, at least, that "tho Lord" has not had much, if anything, to do with their Zion. In fifty years the mormon hierarchy, tithi n g , endowment house and celestial marriage for all eternity will bo things , ;.of the past, just as Jewish polygamy tj&e early christian "agape" love arc things of the past. But then, Hflfow, there will be many curious things in tho history of Mormonism. Among thorn will bo the statement of "Times and Seasons" in 1814, a fow weeks before he died, that "The Lord has ordained hira (Joseph Smith) a deliverer and savior to this generation." At that very hour six apostate Mormons wera planning an exposure of J o e as one of the most corrupt men of World's history, and soon tho "savmurdered for his crimes. taf the richest curiositlos of Moristory is tho manner in which pOTygamy camo to be established. " J o e , " jolly Joo, tho "prophet, seer, and rolevator," had become so outrageous in his relations to the wives of his saints that a few of the more courageous men protested against his conduct and threatened to make trouble for him. Then ho went behind tho veil in his private o.'lleo nnd "got" made a "revelation," in which " t h e Lord," in a targe number of sections, established celestial or plural m a r r i a g e ; directed " E m m a , " Joe's wife, to behave herself and accept h e r new sisters with good g r a c e ; instructed J o e to multiply and replenish and build up Zion rapidly, and promised to " s t r e n g t h - e n " him for his work. All this was issued with the "cheek" and " g i l l " of a pirate ; the timid objectors wore silenced ; most of them were forced into the iniquity themselves and only two or three held .put, and, as I have said, these finally killed the " p r o p h e t . " But the coolness with which Joe resorted to the trick and the quick wit of tho fellow in catching up a scheme t h a t would at once silence his opponents and license his vice in the name of Cod was one of the wonders of the age. A curious allusion to Joe's capers in Nauvoo is found in " J e d d y " Grant's sermon in "tho T a b , " in 18-34. He says: "Did the Lord actually want Abraham to kill Isaac? Did the prophet J o s e p h want every man's wife he asked for? He did not, but in that thing was the grand thread of tho priesthood developed. The grand object in view was to try the people of God to see what was in them." One of the mormon pillars- of Zion is the art, or "gift," as the priests would have the people believe, of prophecy. One of tho curiosities of the present, and one that will increase, is the vast accumulation of unfulfilled prophecies. It is safe to say t h a t of all the prophecies made by the heads of the mormon church not one has been unmistakably fulfilled. The nearest they ever came to making a case was jolly Joe's prophecy, made in 1833, that a war should begin in South Carolina, but ho did not say when, save "in these latter days," and he did say that it would continue until the United States government was destroyed and tho whole land came into and under Zion. It was a lucky guess, therefore, based perhaps on his knowledge of the state where Calhoun was hatching the treason of state rights. Among their prophecies none are so common as those relating to the triumph of Zion, or mormonism. Said one: "While water runs and grass grows, while eternity goes and eternity comes, mormonism will go on, knowing what is written in heaven, published on earth and muttered in hell, that mormonism is eternal truth and God Almighty is the author of it." Another said: "The timo is coming when one shalt chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight. When will that be? When Isreal is united. If all the people were absolutely, with all their hearts, to pull upon one grand, thread they would have power and dominion over tho wholo earth. All the men and devils in hell or the earth or anywhere else could i not make a successful opposition against us." Young nod only came to believe in himself us a divine being destined to dying, dying, dying. In the g r a v e of Brigham Young, beneath a rough granite slab weighing six or eight tons, lies the mouldering skeleton of t h e power of mormonism. As long as Young lived it was possible to control "this peoplo." But while his successors may wield something like an equal despotism «ver the new converts that arc brought in from the slums of Europe, those who came here with Brigham nnd those who have been born and reared here have become too much impregnated with the atmospheric germs, so to speak, of American independence to come quietly up and put their heads under the yoke of a new king whom they have known as a "devil" in the endowment house, perhaps, or as a dealer in town lots, or a peddler of celery, cauliflower and pork. The mystery, the glamour, tho awe that hovered inside of those walls that Brigham Duilt around himself out of tithings wrung by the force of tyranny out of the poor creatures who hud come to Zion on promise of plenty, peace and "holiness," have all gone. W h e r e King Brigham went and came at " t h e Bee Hive" is now a nest of offices, and on the door t h a t swung before him as if by magic are now crilded signs of coal, stone and transit companies. The king is dead and no one cries, "Live the king!" Brigham's successor, Taylor, never dared to show himself in public as president. He died "on the underground," and is now at rest beneath another six-ton sl':b. The present president has been until now on tho underground, and he, too, will soon be lying beneath a granite slab. With him dies the original apostleship. He is the last man living of the twelve N B W M E X I C O ' S H E R O . T h e T r u t h A b o u t "Billy t h e Kid," W h o F i g u r e d In S o M a n y " P e n n y D r e a d f u l s . " T h e r e has been more written probably about "Billy the Kid," says a Santa Fe letter to the New Y o r k Herald, than any other murderer who ranged the vast plains of New Mexico, and yet pratically nothing was ever known about him before he came to this territory. It is said that h e was once employed at the Palmer house in Chicago as a waiter or bell boy, where he frightened a guest into tits who had ventured to remonstrate with his style of doing things. He was the embodiment of malignant cruelty, the despoiler of homes, a murderer by nature, and a foe to law, order, und society. At the same time the possessor of these traits was a singularly handsome youth—he was but 23 years of age when he was killed eight years ago—with an open, pleasing countenance and mild blue eyes. His hair was as soft as a girl's his form slight and well knit, and his voice agreeable. Rut one feature suggested the animal, and that was his mouth. His lips never closed over as beautiful white teeth as were ever seen in a human head, and when he was angry t h u characteristic gave him a tigerish expression. Few men have lived who were entirely devoid of mercy. " T h e Kid" was one of them. He had no love of home or of human kind. He deliberately chose to be an outlaw, and held the friendship of men as lighter than the pressure of his finger upon the trigger of his Winchester. It was his ambition to become the leader of a who held the keys with jolly Joe. The i band of outlaws, and this ambition was rule the world for God. but he became a believer, strangest of all, in his own religion—a fanatical believer. He told the people one day in "the T a b : " "My religion is first and foremost with me, and I will send it to all the earth, to President Tierce, whether he retains me as governor o f Utah Territory or not, and whether 1 Should bo president of the United Suites or king of Great Britain, or Sionareh of all the world, my religion and my God arc first and foremost with me. My kingship, my presidentship and all shall bow to that eternal priesthood which God has bestowed upon me. 1 have been governor of this territory ever since it has had one, and in all my official transactions I have acted in accordance with the priesthood. I never will infringe upon it with anything I may operate in' my ofli.ee." Young, though a fanatic in his religion, was a man of great executive capacity, and his will was indomitable. Had he lived a thousand years ago ho would have been a nation builder. As it was, had not tho Mexican war occurred, resulting in the cession of all this mountain land to the United States, Young would have become the head of a mormon Mexican nation, even if he had been obliged to fight his way to the throne by' the aid of destroying angels and other assassins. The man was a tyrant. His word was law, and disobedience was often followed by secret and silent murder. I can fancy a savage having many wives, becauso a chief may have become enamored of new faces. There would in such cases be, at least on one side, ail attraction; but in mormonism (and I have learnod it from those who have "been in polygamy") there was very little of love, and, therefore, tho marriages were nothing more nor better than a wicked farce in the name of God. It was kept up through fear of Brigham Young. There never was a viler imposition upon ignorant difpes in all this world. .. But polygamy has hud its day nnd is promise was t h a t they should none of them see death until the kingdom had come. When tho people get this strangest curiosity of the modern world digested their faith as mormons will melt as melts the snow en. the southern slopes of the Wasatack range at high noon. I look back over the history of this wonderful psychological phenomenon and behold on one hand the power of a few strong minds manufacturing opiates of superstition for the mass of ignorant, submissive, mindless dupes on the other. I can see the leaders, the key-keepers, those high priests ordained of God, in their secret conclaves behind these high walls, stretching their cheeks in i n f e r n a l g r i n and demoniac laughter at the rem irkable success oi their trick and scheme ; and were itd not that there have been some desperately bad things connected with their I game 1 could laugh, too, and heartily, over it all us a huge joke. As it is, i even this must be said, that with all its ! evils mormonism has been a positive ; and busting good unto hundreds of j thousands to whom no help would ever havo come had not the mormon tramppreachers gone into the cellars, the alleys, the ditches, the slums of the I world, aud-CTcuitcd the atiimal^isTfncfr of the stuff they found with the prom- : ise of a home in Zion, where they j should have lands and houses and .opportunities to become rich and great. It was the starting point of life for them, They could not havo been in worse condition than they were, and they are to-day —a majority of them— fairly well to do; all are vastly better than they were befoi'e they became mormons—I am speaking of the people, not the priests—and they are growing fast toward that mental freedom that will make them American citizens, owing allegiance to no priesthood on earth. I look into the faces here of many wrinkled old foreigners, of whom nothing can be expected. They are conattained. He ravaged sections of this territory and for years escaped arrest. When at last he was apprehended tho authorities were astounded to see a beautiful youth in the person of tho fiend upon whose head so heavy a price had been set. In jail his ferocity asserted itself. By means of a well laid plot two of his men succeeded in gaining entrance to the place where their leader was confined. A revolver was given him and the three marched out to freedom. But "The Kid's*' appetite for blood must be appeased: he was thirsty for revenge as well, and on the way out he shot and killed both of the guards. His aim was unerring and he rarely shot twice at a man. except in a spirit of watonnesss, for the lirst bullet usually did deadly work. The famous Lincoln county war was "The Kid's" opportunity and he did not fail to prolit by it. This was a feud of the most deadlj* description, and when " T h e Kid" concluded to take a hand in it blood flowed in good e a r n - est. It did not matter so much to this young outlaw who was killed just so it was some one. He had no friends he desired to protect. How many men ho killed with his own hand none of our Men of every sort and condition joined in the hunt, and nearly every pursuer had a grievance. T h e r e was not a crime in tho catalogue of w h i c h " T h e Kid" was not guilty. T h e relatives of some of those who were after him had been the victims of his revolver; others had female relatives who had been led astray or forcibly c a r r i e d off; some had lost eattle, and o t h e r s property of various kincUj m a n y were actuated by a desire to get the reward and achieve the notoriety of having slain the most remarkable criminal of which the southwest could b o a s t T h e territory was alive with m a n - h u n t e r s and " T h e Kid" was kept busy avoiding them. With the members of his g a n g d e a d , his old haunts closely watched, and no human being willing to befriend him. the outlaw turned his face toward Mexico, the home of the renegade. Wherever he stopped for rest or r e - freshment the inmates were solemnly warned t h a t instant death would bo their reward should they dare to give an intimation of his whereabouts. But even at such a trying time his jauntiness did not leave him. He was as fastidious in his dress as before, and his manner was that of a gay, lightrhearted wanderer who bad no care on his mind. He knew death was on his trail and was always prepared. He knew, also, that he would be shot from ambush, for there were none of his pursuers brave enough to face him in open fight. There was every chance against him, and his only hope was to reach the Mexican border. Then a strange fancy seized him. A half-breed ranchman had a beautiful daughter of whom " T h e Kid" was very fond, and so sure were the authorities that the fugitive would sooner or later round up there that they made an a r - rangement with the ranchman, who hated " T h e Kid" cordially. Ho was to giv3 notice when the outlaw arrived and his reward was to be great. True to his agreement he notified Sheriff Garrett that " T h e Kid" was at his ranch and the intrepid officer made preparations to kill the man he had so long sought. It was not a.question of capture, for the outlaw had sworn ho would never be taken alive. v. The day of his death " T h e Kid" was strangely uneasy. He felt something was to happen and two or three time* gave his host notice that he would kill him, for he felt he had betrayed hira. The old ranchman was frightened almost to death, but swore hi had given no notice to the authorities. Garrett had arrived the night before and was concealed in a room waiting for a favorable opportunity. 'The Kid" inspected every room in th i house until he came to this one. He opened the door, a revolver in one hand and a knife in the other, and as he crossed the threshold asked in Spanish: " W h o ' s t h e r e ? " The reply was a pistol shot and " T h e Kid" fell dead. Garett was liberally rewarded and has been the lion of the territory ever historians will pretend to say. The number doesn't matter particularly. They were killed in all sorts of ways. Some were shot in lights, others were slaughtered in cattle stealing raids, and yet others were wantonly murdered with no sort of provocation whatever to justify them, even in a country "and at a time when men killed each other for ^ cross word. On a horse,dressed in Mexican garb, with trousers richly embroidered and coat of the richest material, " T h e Kid" was the idol of the girls and the envy of the men. Beneath his wide-brimmed sombrero his handsome face, fringed with curling hair, was a pleasant sight to see. A fearless horseman,he was at home on his animal and* never seemed to know fatigue.

There are m;my reasons why tho gentle sloping hillsides have boon denuded of their original growth of timber sooner than was for advantage in any point of view. Tho bettor drainage of uplands makes them more desirable for building as well as for tillage. Cities may bo built low down near harbors and navigable rivers; but t h e country farmhouse is more apt than not to surmount a hill. As it has its orctiard and some ornamental trees uround it, t h e farmhouse hill is not entirely barren, but it is not such a reservoir to feed springs on lower levels as it was when covered thickly with trees in the original forest. Now that in many places the low lands have also been cleared, it is found that much more wood land is necessary. The question in replanting is which shall bo used for forest, the longer cleared hillsides, or the elevations on the lower lands where the trees have recently been cut down. If the house, farm buildings and orchard are on the elevated parts of the farm, the general tendency will bo to put the wood lot somewhere else. Hut even in such cases the wood lot is not so much of an injury to tin; vicinity of t h e farm buildings ;md orchard as we havo thought. TI13 treeless condition of much eastern farm land makes the sweeping winds cf spring, fall, and esby a proper degree of boat and a certain amount of moisture, and that t h e soil bo in a state to* permit tho roots of tho plant to run through it to meet o r reach these materials that a r e to support tho plant; also that t h e atmosphere may permeate it, for it is from the air in the soil that the plant obtains much that is as essential a s tho ash i n - gredients. Kvery farmer is practically an agricultural chemist, and his success depends greatly upon the scientific rneth-" ods he employs in his work, for, although h e may have no idea of analysis or chemical combinations or compounds, when he adds fertilizers or stirs the soil as experience hus shown him is necessary, he is only carrying out tho same ideas the professional chemist arrives at in his laboratory.— Practical Farmer. p l e n i p o t e n t i a r y to France in tho first j peeially of winter, much moro severe half of the century, and Colonel Al- j than formerly, in a great many apple fred London Rives, h e r father, was orchards the fruit is regularly blown born in Paris, and h a d Lafayetto for godfather. One result of the agitation in favor of a shorter work-day is eoon in t h e passage o* r.n eight-hour law by the legislature of Indiana. Agitators, however, should bear in mind that statute laws will never bring about a shorter work-day. T h e courts in a number of states have repeatedly do off before time for gathering, and its value is thus greatly lessened. If wo had more forests crowning our hills, peaches and other fruits formerly successfully grown could be planted and cultivated with profit.. But the conclusive reason w h y the uplands should be moro generally planted with trees is that this is t h e only possible way to keep land fertile, 1 ! and make the farm as a whole proiitable. 1 he side hill under cultivation clared any law unconstitutional which j gullies and washes its vegetable matter interfered with tho right of individual contrast,'and a law for the shorter day can only bo made applicable to employes of the commonwealth. Labor will never secure shorter hours until she hits herself devised a practical plan for putting the schemo into operation/ Without injury to the employer or the vast multitude of workers. How this- is to be accomplished with the least amount of friction is the great problem of the day. Public sympathy is with the workers in their demand for moro time for rc>t, recreation and intellectual development, and fewer hours of unceasing toil. But to retain that sympathy and accompanying inlluence organized labor must be careful to take no step n o t warranted bv into creeks and rivers or over adjoining valleys. No farmer trying t> cultivate his entire farm can find manure enough I to make it profitable. With wood lots covering elevated land on his own and neighboring farms, their fall of leaves will furnish a slight annual dressing of vegetable mould. T h e low lands will need drainage; but it will be all the bettor J o r the farmer than they do. Under-drained as they .should be their vegetable matter is less likely to be washed away, and fertility is much more easily preserved. There are exceptions to this, of course. There are locations neareitios where special crops that will not bear long carriage may be grown, and the manure needed to grow thorn be furnished from the city or villago whore they nre markete.l. But we believe justice, and especially must care be "'j large sections of h l l i 7 c ^ u n t ^ " m a y " b e taken to.avoid the commission of any j profitably kept for growing wood and j o n b T a few times wrongful acts.

The yellows disease has been foundon peach branches grown on plum stocks. This is claimed to prove conclusively that this mysterious disease does not first attack tho root. Its origin is probably in a fungus growth attacking leaves and branches. Horses should never be hitched to shade trcos in front of the house. Ordinarily they will not bo if good hitching posts are provided. But where such danger is apprehended, the tree may be certainly protected by putting a coil of barbed wire around the tree spirally and filling in tho interstices with common wire. Horses with propensity to grn.w trees will soon tire of tackling this. Not only must furrows be laid out straight, but they must be kept so by turning a furrow of even width across the field. The careless, slovenly plowman who lets the plow jog in and out does less work and poorer work. T h e different width of furrow makes tho team nervous and uneasy as the plow alternately pulls easy or heavy, and this is more trying both to man and team than steady pulling would bo. No matter how largo the dairy, the churn should not be proportioned to it. Frequent churning is the greatest secret in making good butter.

Police Justice Haug of Detroit believes that t h e convicts in our state prisons and ho.isesof correction ought to be set to work macadamising t h e roads of the state.

T h e highway tax, now paid largely by the. honest farmer, would be considerably lessened, too, if all the state convicts were set to makin^ better roads." A growing plant is in itself a complete chemical laboratory, analyzing the soil in which it is planted, and selecting Trom the constituents whatever is necessary for its sustenance and growth. The work to which the agricultural chemist devotes himself is, therefore, to examine tho plant for the It is probably true that there arc limits to the successful growing of Southern com in the far north, even for ensilaging. It is sometimes argued that though it will not get beyond the green, succulent stage, this makes no difference in the silo. But it does. Corn that will make a crop of ears, and that is early enough to ripen them, is the only kind that should go into a silo.

He instituted a service of daily weather reports, out of which our present Signal Service system has grown, and on tho basis of this enterprise, as Mrs. Morehead relates in h e r book, Professor Hegry once remarked to h e r that there was no question in his mind that '-Professor Espy should bo regarded as the father of tho present Signal Service of tho United States, his 'Theory of Storms' having led the way to its establishment and present success.^^Professor Henry added that the charts now used in tho service were identical (with somo modifications) with thosa that the "Old Storm King"1 constructed for use in the Meteorological Bureau of the War Department when he war. at its head. A similar acknowledgement was made to Mrs. Morehoad by (Jeneral Myer. Professor Espy was for several years a regent of t h e Smithsonian Institution, and was brought into close relations and friendship with Professor Henry. On the occasion of his death Professor Baehe pronounced his eulogy in the Board of Regents, and the regents passed tho customary resolutions in honor of his memory. One of these resolutions describes him as "one of the most useful and zealous Giant Glaciers of Alaska.

When standing a t a considerable height one appreciates for the first time t h e beautiful curves through which the glaciers alter t h e i r course. We noticed this in particular in^looking down upon the Agussiz Glacier.

Through tho middle of tho Tyndall Clacier, and*for a distance of several miles, two light streaks of moraine ran parallel to each other, presenting from above the appearance of a huge serpent crawling the length of the glacier. —Seribner's. the institution, whoso labors in both the increase and diffusion of knowledge of meteorology have merited the highest honors of science at home, and have added to tho reputation of our country abroad.'1 —Popular Science Monthlv. Domestication of the Buffalo. Regarding the buffalo as an animal well worthy conserving, what a r e h i s good and bad points? First of all, h e is hardy, not liable to disease, and on the plains of tho American and Canadian Northwest he can forag3 in deep snow and live in tho open air all winter long.

So much for the credit side of tho account; now for tho debit.

I t is not, however, in mere domestication, but in cro3s breeding, that tho buffalo's value consists.

I t has nearly all its sire's hardiness a n d strength, and so much of its dam's tractability as to be well suited for draught purposes. When killed the net weight of its carcass exceeds that of a buffalo's, while its meat is better. Such a carcass h a s been known to weigh as much as 1,100 pounds net. Its robe is much moro valuable than the buffalo's; for its fur, instead of being chiefly bunched at tho mane, is evenly disdributcd over the hide, and much finer in quality—its present value being $30 to $75.

The tale of a Boston man and the money he settled on his wife is rather interesting, it is suggestive, and it possesses that quality which to small minds seems to add to the value of any narrative—it is true. Mr. M., a Boston broker who indulges in speculation, and as a consequence is of uneven fortunes, on one occasion came to his wife and said: "Here is $50,000 in bonds. There are ups and downs to my business, and I want you to have something to fall back upon if anything happens. Now, you are to draw the interest on this, and you may spend it or save it, just • as you choose; only don't give it.to me. If I come to you and ask for it, no matter what I say, don't you let me have it. You just hang ou to it for yourself and the children, and don't let me speculate with it." The wife, with proper gratitude, took the bonds, and for a time nothing more was said about them. Mr. M. in time had a run of hard luck, and just at the time when he was on the edge of a serious financial vexation a friend,who was on the iuside, gave him a "straight tip" by which he could have made a brilliant investment. Casting about fur fuuds which he might embark in a speculation which promised so well, Mr. M. remembered his wife's $o0,- 000, and requested a loan of them for a short time that he might deposit them as collateral security. His request WAS met with a quiet refusal. At iirst he thought his wife was jesting, but he soon found out that she was in serious earnest. He represented the unusual advantages of the scheme in which he wished to embark: he talked of the "tip" and of the enormous returns promised. "But you told me wherk you gave me those bonds," Mrs M, replied, "that I was not to let yuu have them, no matter what you »aid. You warned "aae against just this sort of thing." Mr. M. WM naturally a little dis* imoerted by haying bis own words brought up against him. but he sat himself pluokily to demonstrate that this particular contingency was entirely dilferent from anything he had foreseen, and that he had meant nothing of this-sort. He urged that it was madness to let a sine thing like the present go by without taking advantage of it; and with all his powers of persuasion he encK'aVoreil to make Mrs. M. realize that while^she was undoubted right in holding a conservative policy toward speculation in general, this was one of those cases where she would be throwing away money by neglecting the cli a nee. And by all his eloquence he moved his wife not a whit. She remained lirm in her determination to hold fast to what she had rather than to risk losing it in the hope of gaining more. Even when he came nearer to losing his temper than had ever before happened in the course of their wedded life, Mrs. M. would not yield. She developed a firmness of character which was astonishing, and in the end he was forced to acknowledge himself utterly balHed by her quiet resolution. A_lucky- -turn -iiu .a.... truiuau tkmf r on» Which he hoped little enabled him to invest in the desired scheme * sum much smaller than he wished, but which was still considerable. By all laws of poetic justice he should have lost, but as a matter of fact his gains were proportionately enormous. He had the satisfaction of demonstrating to his wife that if she had let him have her $50,000 he would have more ttian doubled it, but he had the good nature and manliness to add; "lint you did perfectly right, my dear. Thai money is safe where it is, and it is a safeguard against want for you and the children. Don't risk it. Don't let me have it the next time." And he added, with a comical face, "I don't think you will.11 —Providence Jo»Ti»iL An Invarible Sign.

" What fun, it is to be ip! I am glad now that mamma "t let mo go to the Rogers ball in the I t ' s a groat deal nicer to have my own toe. very first, and not—Oh 1" with a sudden scream of delight, as tho turn of the landing brought into view the hall below, lamp-hung and flower-festooned, with oraugo trees and white budded laurestinc.i veiling the corners; and screening the musician's stand, a till bank of waxeu fair and roso-rcd camellias, to which Cousin 1 and tho gardener wore at this momt i n g the last touches. All these had been evoked sinc3 Eliio we at ira for her preparatory nap. No frfehe cried " O h ! " fairyland! It is too beautiful to bo t r u e ! " she called down over tho balustrade. ''JuBt so," responded her cousin from below—" quite t-K) beautiful to be true," looking admiringly at tho slender vision in fleecy white as it camo sweeping down, and noting each point, the dimplod shoulders, the tender bloom, t i n fluffs of golden hair which played round that sweetest face, in which child and woman soomad to blend so wonderfully. "Well, Elsie, I call that welgot up. What! three bouquets! How are you going to m a n a g j with them all, may I ask?" "Do I look nice?" said Elsie, twisting her head round to survey her train—that long incumbrance which to hor imagination seemed the visio n badj/e a ul diploma of young ladyhood. " l a m ° <y.l you like my dress, Cousin Robert. And isu't it fun?— about the bouquets, I moun. They all came while I was asleep. This bi;j one is from H a r r y Blunt. Did you ever sea such a monster? He must have cut every flower in his mother's greenhouse And such a note as cams with it! 'Dear Elsio, wear these for my sake.' Now, Cousin Robert, imagine my wearing such a thing!" "It is rather like a prize cabbae-e," remarked Robert, surveying tho hugu boquet with a critical eye. "Well, who sent the others?" "This one I am really proud of," said .Elsie, dimpling with satisfaction. "Major Strange scut it, and it's exactly like Uio bouquets which all the other giris have, and makes me feel really und truly grown up; only it i; n pity that none of the flowers have any stems, And 1 hate those wires; Ihey look so cruel,"' "And the third, which you are holding so tiiTht!" "Now 'that one really is remarkable," said Elsie, blushing not u little. "Mamma Would hardly believe it. See how appropriate it is! all white rosebuds, with just this little border of heliotrope to give it tolor. So appropriate—don't you think to?" "Highlv npproririutT to a child's funeral'" temarke 1 her cousin grimly-. "You needn't show tho card: 1 know t!io follow." "J don't believe you guessed right at all," pronounced Klsle, wavingthc card triumphantly above her head—" 'The Kev. Cyril Forsythe.' There! Did you ever? I know, *f cours ), tnat it's all meant as politeness to mo and mamma, but it's &reat fun all the samo. Houquets, and engaged already for tho german! W h a t will come next.' Cousin Robert, what if 1 should h.>v» an offer!" ,TDo you plilTacTiTarTy-\\^iI~omrTo~-"n7gnT,' IlidKOtJ" "Oh, DO, not to ni^ht; but some aay, I \1dnk, it would be nice to have one. Now Vhat nhall 1 do with my flowery? I can't 4»rry them all." "It's rather lik) coats to Newcastle to je^ve yon another when you can't dispose oi' / t r o s o you have already," said Robert. / "Still, here's a posy which I had brought you myself." "Charming."' cried Elsie, throwing her .fragrant load on a table and seizing the t e w y m a s s o f scarlet bloom which he held o jet. "You always hi: on juat the nicest tl.ing. These are tho only ones that look at all well with my dress. Sec!" holding the flowers against her snowy bodice with groat effect. "Mayn't 1 carry these. Robin dear?" eoaxingly; "1 like them so much the best." "Robin dear" demurred, though ho kissed the little gloved hand us a token of gratitude for the preference, i t was finally 'settled that all tho bouquets should lie together on a little table, and that Elsie should give oa.'h an airing in turn during the evening. With an inaudiblo sigh, Robert Baird watched his darling as guests arrived, and the music began to sound from behind the camellia screen. The soft, round cheeks •*"»•loved grew rosier; the sweet, delighted '-•JOT glowed with excitement; Elsie, his y ^ : fijMttici treasure, was fairly launched on "'•§f ' flfeMJPr but treacherous sea oi society and V ttvJpfM of loss and deprivation seized his The old homestead, of which he was jr.int Owner, had never looked upon a prettier seeno. Outside, the moonlit piazzas wero sweet with honey suck ID, the gardens beyond twinkled with Chinese lanterns, a TOSH the soft dusks and shadowy vistas forms in white flitted, gay laughs hroive the dewy silences. Dear little Elsie had done tho honors prettily by mamma's sido; but now tho tide of incoming gujsts slackens. Some one offers his arm. Sha is going off to daneo atgtjft. thinks Robert. P>ut no; tho young -- "-*'!» Buroly not a dancing man.

Was this tho way in which clergymen talked to young ladies! How nice it was! i She aad been a little afral I t h a t he would ask her about hor soul, and Elsie did not know much about souls a» y e t Still, she was a practical little damsel, and having gazed up at "heaven's arch," and seen only the piazza roof, she ventured to say, "Didn't you ever care about dancing, Mr. Forsythe f" Ho looked down Berenely at her from his height of six feet two, but did not seem offended with tho question—only saintly — which Elsie noted with relief. "Not very much," ho answered gently. "And my time Is so full of other aad braver duties t h a t it is no small matter of regret to roe that the Church has sot tho seal of her disapproval on such pleasures in the case of her ordaiued servanti, whose life-work is. or should be, solemn and engrossing." " I s there really a law agaiust dancing, then?" asked Elsie, timidly. "Not for such as you. To a liir young life like yours, such amusements, when partaken of in moderation, are natural and harmless. And for myself, there are rainy compensations—the privilege ot ministering to tho aged and sorrowful, of ijburing Iheir Joys and consoling their griefs, and, sweetest of all, the close relation which I beur to my flock." Elsie murmured an a s s e n t S h e felt a little as though she were in church. Still, it was undeniably gratifying. " Y e s , " continued the low, fervent voice, "it is a world of contrasts. This evening X am here, sharing in this seene of gaiety amid all tha t makes life enjoyable This afternoon 1 spent by the bedside of a dying woman, glad to fold her tired hands and after the burden of life, even though she left her children to struggle on alone. 1 hope I was able to support and strength "Oh," interrupted Elsio, " t h a t must have been poor Mrs. McCraw! Is she really dying? How sorry I a m ! Mamma took me there the other day. Mamma is going to tak. one of the children to keep i\i a housemaid, and she hopes to get littU Jenny into the Homo. Oh, I am sorry Mrs. McCraw is dying on the very day of my party!" "Yes, dear Miss Baird, it is a world of contrasts, as I said, Death and life, sickness and health, poverty there, luxury here, and heaven over all." "I am so sorry," cried Elsie, bewildered. "I can't help i t l a m young and happy; o? I was before you talked so," she added, with a little pout " B u t I don't forget that there are sick and poor people, and mamma never does. She is as good as she can be to them; really she is, Mr. Forsythe." "Indeed, dear child," in a tender tone, "I know it well. Your mother is one of my most precious helpers and friends; and I would stake my life that you, in your maiden bloom and happiness—which Heaven forbid I should in any way seek to shadow—will also give yourself to every good and holy work. I have watched you grow up under my eye a polished stono of tho temple, and no fairer vision has ever been granted to cheer mv lonely life. And, Elsie," he added, still more softly, "there is no hope so dear to me as this—forgive mo that I speak of it; J cannot refrain; the wish is too near my heart— tnat in the futuro, which seems at this moment so near and so fair, you may forever lean, as now, on my arm. Suffer me to lead and support you. Come and brighten my home with your lovely presence, and be to me the best gift G^d ever bestowed oa man." Elsie drew her hand away and stared at the youug divine with frighteued eves. "An'ofTor!" she crie 1, breathlessly. "Ara you making me an offer."' —L\W.Ua£-iiLsiLJ..:aaL_cJi with some heat. "And in return will you tell me " "Oh, please don't—please." she cried, i.i horror. "1 don't know anything about sued things. I'm so little—so young, 1 mean. Mamma wouldn't like it. 1 know she never allows me to talk about offers." "Angelic dilTidence," replied her tormentor. "You are right. It is to your mother that I should have appealed. Yo\i permit,, then, dearest, that 1 slioull make hor t h / judge between us, and come at another time for my answer! You can whisper it' in mother's oar, in the shelter of mother's arms, can you not, little startled bird^Saall it be s->, then ?" "Oil, yes, y e s ! " cri?d Elsie, frantic to es cape. "Mamma will tell you a^I about iL Don't say any more to me." Off she dashed out of the/star-lit, ror«- scented evening, into the protection of tho glare, the crowd, little recking of the long, Dlaek, tightly-buttoned fijfure, with clasped hands and eyes raised to "heaven's arch" which she left behind. She was prettier than ever, with her flushed cheeks ami shy, dazzled eyes, and wa's seized on at once by a series of expectant partners. Daneo succeeded daneo. Young Harry Blount, sulking in a corner and watching his rivals with'a pair of glowering, jealous eyes, suddenly gave a great start. He saw Elsie lay down the white bouquet, which had affected him as scarlet affects a bull, take up his flowers—yes, his!—and carrying them in her hand, approach his lurkingplace. She made a saucy little courtesy and said: "Mr. Blount, I believe this is our dunce." "Elsie w h i t a fool I a m ! " cried tho. boy, ready te> kiss her white slippered feet in his revulsion of feeling. Have I really been hanging about here like a tramp, and forgotten t h a i ! " "You really have, H a r r y , " replied tho little belle of the evening. "You hnvo neglected me shamefully, and I feel dreadfully about it. Now to atone, don't let us di\nce at all, but just sit down and rest. " Tl.on, noticing a look of blank disapjwintmeut she added quickly, "Or, rather, let us havo a short walk and thon go and hide somewhere, and have some coffee—if mamma isn't looking, that is." "So we will," said tho delightol Harry. "T know of a capital seat—on the south piazza." "Anywhere else," crie t Elsi \ "I hate that pia-.za. 1 never want to see It again." " T h a t ' s a good one, when you've been there half the evening with that parson! Did lie bora you At drealf.illv. pan- little Elsie! 1 always knew he was a prig." "Mamma likes him," responded Elsie, demurely. "Ami so do 1 in the p u l p i t " The t w o children—for they w e r e little more—enjqyed their walk, and t h e n sought a refuge behind the curtains of t h e deep bay-window in the halL Elsie s a n k back on the cushioned seat with a sigh of fatigue, too w e a r y for more than half attention to H a r r y ' s talk. He w a s paying her outrageous compliments, she vaguely t h o u g h t but she was used to H a r r y ' s nonsense and she idly picked his boquet to pieces while meditating on her late extraordinary interview with Cyril Forsythe. Suddenly she came to herself. H a r r y had taken b e r hand. When? She didn't remember. Had she been half asleep?

Elsie stared. "Why, H a r r y , I don't understand you. What are you confiding to me? It sounds like a love uffair. Who is the devoted damsel who is to wait till you get through college, and have something to live upon?" " E l s i e , " cried the mortified H a r r y , "you are perfectly unfeeling." "I am not unfeeling a b i t But, really and truly, who is it? You haven't told me her name." "1 thought you understood m e , " said the boy, humbly and bitterly. "You looked so pleasant, and never said a word to stop me. Of course you know that I never cared a button for any girl in tho world except you. I've been waiting ovor so long for the right time to speak, and to-night you looked so stunning, somehow, and so kind—Now, Elsie"—.pathetically—"den't tease me any longer, but telt me that you will." "Will w h a t ? " " W a i t for me, care about Be, marry me some d a y , " blurted out the luckless lover, appalled at her changed look. " H a r r y Blount," said Elsie, awfully, rising in h<3r majesty to the full height of her five ieol fcivo, " I never was treated so in my life. You have all conspired to make me perfectly miserable at my first ball." H e r bosom began to heave. "If you say another word of the kind I'll never speak to you again;" and with blazing eyes she swept away, leaving her boy-lover crushed in a heap behind tho curtains, and wondering whether noose or poison were the speediest way of getting rid of his wretched existence. After this the eveniyg was a weariness, but supper came at last, and following supper the germau. Here things took on a brighter aspect It was impossible not to enjoy dancing with such a partner as Major Strange, hero of all t h e g i r l s in the neighborhood; and when at the close, Elsie, a bewitching paner cap on her pretty lioad, little flags and ribbons fluttering from various parts of her dress, and her curls laden with flowers, stood exchanging gay good-nights with the departing guests, she was ready to allow that life was not all a burden or balls a failure, and that being a grown-up young Jady, though it might have its drawbacks, had also its advantages and indisputable joys. In the midst of her contentm cnt, however she became aware of a form hovering outside the door, a face of tnute, reproachful wretchedness, and her heart smote her. Slipping from mamma's side, she m a l e her way to poor Harry, and put out her hand. *M->o forgive me, H a r r y , " the vvhis|K'rcd. *'I was perfectly horrid, and am ashamed of myself; but you don't know how much I've had to vex me this evening. Shake hands, and let us be friends again, just as wo used." Under tho gentle, pleading eyes Harry's rancor amUmisery melted in a moment, and "hope sprang eternal" in his breast, for ",usf as/vo used" meant a great deal more 'to him.than to Elsie. He nearly crushed ; the small peace making hand in his vigor- ! o'.:s grasp, and Elsie went back-smiling and | relieved, only to meet another hand, a terribly expressive pressure, a pair of es'es bent j ^npon her from an immense heigh', and to / h e a r the fervent murmur: "To-morrow, | early to-morrow, I shall see you, Till then good-by, and Cod bless you, Eisie, my best trec.suie !" { Elsie grew white as a ghost. Really] \\ as t o m o r r o w really to bring this dreadful fata upon her! H a l she promised without knowing it! Could nothing save her! | " E l s i e ! Elsie!" cried somebody, and Elsie i flew like wind out of the room. She had no i courage left to face c^es and questions. " W h e r e on Garth can the child b e ! " queried I Mrs. Baird. perplexed and annoyed, as the j last ge.est departed. "Robert please see if you can find her, while I attend to having the house shut for the night." ! Robert's eyes were keen. He had watchl e d the fluttering exit and went straight to the piazza. Nothing was visible at the first glance, but a little sob smote upon his ear, and making one stride to the darkest corner, he lifted up a poor little white heap and saw ELsic's face, wild and wet with tears. "Elsie, darling, child, w h a t is the matter!" "Oh, Robin, Robin dear! do t a k e care of me," cried Elsie, hiding her face in his breast. Don'fc let that hateful man come to morrow and tell mamma that I like him. 1 I never did. I hate him." " W h a t man? Don't cry so, m y pet. 'Nobody shall tease you so long as 1 am alive. What man was it?" '"Oft, you know—that man t h a t sent mc that ridiculous bouquet." " H u r r y Blount?" "No, no," cried Elsie, with a half-hysterical giggle. " H e did it too. H u t I soon made an end of htm. It was the other horrid ere lturo—Mr. Forseytho, you know. He declares he'll go to mamma to-morrow, and she'll be to displeased with me. Ho'll tell her I said I would marry him, and its a story. I never did, and I hate him and his church and everything about it. Oh, what shall I doJ" '"I' 11 settlo that young man," replied her cousin, cheerfully. "And I'll talk to roam- •*na. So don't fret any more, little-heart So you had your wish to-night, EUsie—four bouquets and an offer." " T w o , " corrected Elslio, with a sob; " t h a t ' s ridiculous Harry,;-*'' Cousin Robert laughed aloud. "Oh, dou't--ptteoasly. "It w a s all so horrid! B u t I a-:ti yuitc comfortable again, cow t h a i I have you to take care of mo, Robin dear. There's nobody like you. If 1 had only had hold ol this good old coat sleeve all the evening, none of these unpleasant things would havs happened. Oh Robin, do devise some way so that I need never go out of your sight again. I hate being a young lady. Offers, indeed! ' As if any man in the world wero worta your or mamma's little fiager! Can't you arrange it so that I need never have another offer Robin if" Robert stooped suddonly and kissed the little upturned face. "There is this way. darling," he said; "I'll make you an offer myself, and if you say 'Yea,' no one else e^rer shall." " A r e you in earnest? Do you really mean that? Isn't it just because you' feel sorry for me? For really and tr^uly—though I never thought of it before—this is just the one thing in the world I should like." "Do you really mean t n a t my darling?" cried R o b e r t unable to believu in his own good fortune. "Of course I do. There never could be any one in the world for mc to care for as 1 do for ycu. It is just perfect. Mamma and you and I, on and on, exactly as it has always been, only a thousand times better." Five minutes later and Mrs. Baird appeared on the scene. " W h a t is tbe matter.'" she exclaimed, in a premptory, agitated voice. "Elsie, how you look! Are you ill?" " S i t down, Marian," Baid Robert, holding out a warm, brotherly hand. Out by no means unloosing tbe little clasping arms of his newly-won treasure. "I will tell you all about it. This poor little thing nas had a horrid time. She never wants to ^o to another ball, nor to church either. She b3S had four bouquets and three offers; she has accepted them all. and now she doesn't kuow what to do. So the long and short of it is, you will have to give her to me." Tableau! " B u t she is so youn?!" queried the anxious mamma, a«, the first shock over, the pros and cons began to troop before her mind's eye, much to the advantage of the p r o s - " s o very young, and she has had uc experience." "Oh, yes. I have—terrible experience this very evening,' protested Elsie; "and 1 never ex|>e<a to feel young again." And with her mother s laugh the compact may be said to have been sealed.

In compliance w i ' h the request as expressed in a resolution adopted ut a reunion of the surviving members of the Michigan cavalry brigade, which was held at Vioksburg September 21, 1S87, the funds apportioned to the four regiments composing that command were used in the erection of a brigade monument. As the brigade fought as one command and upon the same field, being the extreme right of t h e union line of battlo on July 8, it appeared to the commissioners both appropriate and fitting to mark the Held by one monument instead of four.

I lifted him to my shoulders and soon the little hands clapped their sweet accompaniment to the ioyful "Dere, dero!''

Some one has suggested that when wo lose patience with a cbild for inability to Perform some task, we should try the same thine with our ie.'t hand, l i u t I think this of treble importance when applied to the child s mental and moml capabilities. Sisters, if wo could lift tho little heads to our thinking level as easily as wo can bring the dear little face.* to our own, there would be no difficulty; but siueo this is impossible, and 1 may say undesirable, let us stoop and 100k ut things from their point of view,.

In the year 1S74, Joseph Ra.vmound and Robert Whit el y were engaged by Air. Herbert Caddington, a well-to-do farmer of central Illinois, to sink a twenty-foot well. They had got tho well finished and were coming out of it for the last time. Jo- eph Raymond being the first and Whiteiy closely following, wheu the ladder gave way in the center. Raymond,-who was almost to the top, seized a four by four joint that was stretciied across tho top of the well, and Whitely caught hold of Raymond's knees. Tnoy Lung in this position from six o'clock until half past eight shouting aad calling for help until they were hoarse, l i u t no help came. They had given un all hope of being rescued, and had come to the conclusion that they would soon have to drop. Raymond's hold was slipping, and his knees were pinned closo together by Vv'hitely's arms. Every time they spoke or made tho slightest movement it would give motion to their bodies, and this mado it still harder to keep a hold. At length when it seemed they could •hold on no longer, Whitely addressed Raymond; "'Joe," ho said, "do you think you could get on top if I'd let f o r ' "Yea, tJob-,'' said Raymond. "I think I could/V '•Well,1' said Whitely, ''hero goes then, Good-bye, Joe, and may God bless you."

As Mr. Gladstone w a s passing through tho town of Wudebrldge, in Cornwall, ou the morning of J u n e l.i, an attempt was made upon bis life. A live dynamite cartridge was thrown by an unknown man at the distinguished reformer's carriage, but it failed to explode, and did not bit the occupants of the carriage. For a few miuutej Mr. Gladntone exhibited great nervousness, but rapidly recovered himself and ordered the carriage to proceed. A large crowd uulckly gathered and the excitemeut became intense, but the pol.ee authorities set diligently to work to-find theuaiscro n t and the assemblage dispersed. T h o police are confident that tho man intended to destroy Mr. Gladstone's life, a* the cartridge was of sufficient power to blow tho carriuge and horses to atoms. M o n e y f o r S a n i t a t i o n . It has been de dd^d that instead of culling an extra session of the Pennsylvania legislature to appropriate $1,001),000 for sanitary purposes a plan should be adopted whereby tho state treasurer could use tho amount required and be guaraateed by the citizens of the state in the event of. the , next legislature failing to make an appropriation of money expended in t h e work. Tho bond which is to bu given by Governor Beaver to State Treasurer H i n t will not be binding until signed by ::00 individuals or corporations, each guaranteeing tue paymout of ¢.5,000. Mayor Fitler announces t h a t he already has secured the names of SiO-J citizens in Philadelphia to go on the guarantee and expects to nave 500 before he stops. In that ciso the liability of each signer will be lor a pro-rata share of whatever amount may be expended. O r g a n i z s d t o K i l l .

And it somehow sets me thinking How I used to carry water From the apriug o suuduy evenings, For tho Widow Spilkiu s daughter. Those were happy days to us, Thougu wo uiun t play croquet, We'd never heard oi auch a game, But sparked the good o.d way. The laaios dressed in plain homespun, Without a bang or bustle; They warn't afraid to loon at you, And gloried in a tussei But the most enjoy b.e thing to me Was wheu I carried water From the spring o' Sunday evenings For the Widow Spilkiu a daughter. Things have changed amazing sight In these lorly years or more, With the te.egraph uud phonograph, And ii'un wagou s roar. But 1 aiu t a gum to grumble, F o r i toiuit the change u right, And tho world is lusuing swiftly Gut of darkness iulo light, But, somehow, 1 l o . e recalling How 1 used to carry water From the spring o' Sunday evenings, For the Widow Spilkiu's daughter. Yonder is an aged woman Wa.king out among the bowers, Where a glory talis about her As she plucks the brightest flowers. And she ico:£s as sweet and pretty As i h e did so l m g a g o , 'Ere the fros.s of many winters ' Ciown"d her lovely brow with snow. Yes, to mo she is a* pretty As wheu 1 c\tri'ied water From the spr.i\ig o' Sunday evenings, For the Wid/ow Spilkiu s daughter. So I think Id^urop i»y musings And^ig>K^r in the shade; I'll pla^' the bashful lover, She shall piay the blushing maid. For 1 know ner cheek will crimson, And jher eyes will brighter grow When/1 slip my arm around her, As 1 used to long ayo. And,—since 1 have thought, about it— i believe I'll fetch some water From the spring this Sunday evening For the Widow Spilkiu s daughter. --Yankee Blade. A Lucky Texan. Halletsvlile (Tex.) New Era, May 1"). The .people in this section have been speculating in Louisiana State Lottery tickets for some time, ana have received several good premiums and on one or two occasions large ones, but the town was struck dumb when it was found that ticket No. W,074, drawing the first capital'prize of $1300,000 iu the April drawing, was he'd partially by a party in Halletsville. It is often said that luck falls to' the unworthy, but interviewing Otto Von iiuseuburg, the happy possessor of one-twentieth part of the ticket, we find It has fallen in the right place. He is an industrious young merchant who has beea hero but a short time. his native home being Kound Top, Texas. The ¢13,( 00 received by him will be partially used in his business; it establishes him on a firm fin^uciul basis. It has not turned his he.id, and he will u'so his new found wealth with sense and discretion for his own advancement and t i e furtherance of his interest iu the public welfare. B e has been investing in one ticket each mouth in tho Louifcian i State Lottery lor about two years, and he thinks the amount cxpende.l was well invested. The Louisiana State Lottery company is a thoroughly reliable institution, as was evidenced in this case. Mr. Kosenburg sent his ticket lor collection to Ball, Hutchins & Co., of Galveston, and it was paid upon presentation without any di-.count. Sullivan Released. Alexander Sullivan, the man arrested for complicity im t h e murder of Dr Cronin of Chicago, has been released on 30,000 bail, which w a s promptly furnished by four wealthy men of t h a i city.

There is no ream or gum in the varnish, and once having become dry it is capable of standing he.it and damp without undergoing any change, neither hardening nor becoming st.cky. Briefly, the manufacture is accomplished by dipping the sheets edgewise into deep tanks of varnish bud then allowing the coating which they thus receive lo dry in a warm atmosphere.

Tbe heart of the true-blue Republican government clerk is heavy when he looks at the list of promotions in his bureau. To say that he is sad and astonished is to put it too mildly. Ue is hotter than Pennsylvania avenue's asphalt pavement on a July afternoon. "The neutral shadowy people get all the preferment," said an old Treasury chief to me yesterday, a man who long ago reached the length of promotion and therefore ha^uo private jealousy in the matter. It was expected that Republican hold overs belonging to doubtful states who did not go home to vote last fall, would be dismissed by this administration, and they were liberally promised that fate. Now tho tables are turned, and the men who carried water on both shoulders are on top. To my positive knowledge, a Pension Bureau clerk recently promoted to |2,"000 per annum not only failed to go home to New York to vote last fall but discouraged others from going, teHiftg them their presence at the polls was nrot'exactly necessary and in the event of Democratic success would cans?their discharge. The nest morning after the election this same man wore a Harrison & Morton bad ere eix inches long. / A mighty dispute goes on in the local press over the question of the right of Sunday papain to exist, Exactly what is to be gained by the argument, the disputants, it is safe to say, do not know, but their zeal is none tho less great. Incidently the inconsistencies of the local Sunday laws receive attention. .For instanco, one can buy soda water but not beer, cigars but not matches, milk or bread but not butter or sugar.

Especially slow to scare, Washington has-yet been rather stirred up by the local floods, the water haying been higher during the recent inundation than it had ever been before, except in two or three February floods when tho ice was gorged. The danger ehietiy apprehended is from the choking up of the river with Hat improvements. Eight years ago, when the proposition to reclaim the Potomac ilats t/iok form in Congress, there were not wanting those who protested against tlie pUns adopted by tho army engineers. It U asserted that tho scheme of "filling up a tide river to make room for tho volume of great floods1' is not feasible. The opinion of chief Engineer Severson is quoted. He savs, in substance, "There is but one proper way; that is to reopen the Washington channel fully and so improve all south of it as not to diminish its capacity for carrying off the water of great floods. Any diminution of the conductive capacity of the channel must inevitably endanger city property and the greater the contraction the greater tho danger. 1' The truth is thai it is about time to return to tbe good old fashioned respect for the powers of nature. The invontive race lacks modesty. We defy natures laws successfully may be hut hardly safely.

Tbe time so long waited for by the reading world has come when The History company would allow the incomparable historical series of Hubert Howe Bancroft to be broken and sold in separate sets, and it marks a period in the history of literature. Thousands who have desired to possess some of the volumes, but did not care to buy them all can now be accommodated, greatly to their own benefit and the benefit of the country. The manner in which Mr. Bancroft accomplished his unique undertaking is generally known to our readers—bis in-gathering of material from the four quarters of the earth; his expenditure of tbe best thirty years of his life and over a million of money; the erection of a building specially for the accommodation and preservation of his priceless library; the writing of his history, etc., etc. Had not this been done this history of Alaska never could have been written. The country should be proud of the man who has done this, unaided and aione, and should patronize his works liberally, as well from motives of patriotism as on account of their merits. „It-isfa most fascinating study tpJollow this author in his labors. "The whole story," says tho British Quarterly Review, "Mr. Bancroft has told with much force and eloquence and impartially.'1 The New York Nation declares that "especially good judgment has been shown in balancing conflicting authorities," while the Sacramento Record-Union says that "in gratifying tho desire to add to the treasure-house of the world's knowledge, wo are indebted for records that will endure as long afi thin countryman A Close CaJI.

WUhia ffe* f ast ten years associated <lairyU|pjfcKs been largely developed in ^ *U Uud older dairy regions, and has iul&^ QfMk new territory where dairying l ^ p P k fcpeome an i m p o r t a n t industry. f JMjipAfoted dairying, of course, implies V Jfcupauuiacture in a single creamery of the milk produced in a whole neighborhood. Many of those establishments handle large quantities of milk daily, but the majority, perhapi, are of about 10,00J poundj capacity, and oven then do not r u n ail th<s time. The larger the establishment, if it is run tr t o ite capacity every day, and econom- '. f ^ f f r managed, t h e smaller the ex- |Qp*e of handling a given quantity of ttttk. One hundred pounds is generally taken as the unit in calculating tho running expensas. *A creamery or cheese factory handling 10,000 pound* per day will do so at an expense of about 3 cent* per unit, or under exceptionally favorable conditions of 2 cents. But the actual 5xp0n.se is near 12 cents. This appears to be a low cost for the work done, and it is, inasmuch a s the same amount of work on the average dairy farm, costs from three to five times that sum. But a small neighborhood or individual creamery may be operated at an expense nearly as low as the large r one. For instance, in a neighborhood or on a farm where the milk of from 100 to 300 or .500 cows can be brought to a creamery, with a modera t e expenditure of time and expense, it may uuder s s m c circumstances, bo manufactured at a cost not to exceed six or seven cents per 100 pounds. Suppose a water power to b3 situated in the neighborhood. It may be utilized to run a creamory as easily and efficiently as to drive any other sort of manufacturing machinery. While such a source of power is available it will be much cheaper than a boiler and engine. In many parts of t h e couutry a wind engine or power will do all the work required in operating a small e r e a i m r y and do it nearly every day in the year. This sort of power is cheaper than steam, but perhaps requires more attention in proportion to the amount of work done. With the employment of a Cooley or similar apparatus, or the separator, which does away with the necessity of holding the milk for creaming, or cans or vats in which to keep it, tho investment expense can be quite small, and the operating expenses can be, kept within tho limit of six cents por 100 pounds of milk handled, if the mess, averages say :?, UOO to 2,.)1)0 pounds daily. In the small creamery skim cheoso making should not be contemplated. The milk is worth more to feed to stock than, under average circumstances, for making hard or medium skims. This is a question that may bo studied and discussed in many neighborhoods where largo associated oroameries have not been established. Half a dozen neighbors can combine their issues and start a small creamery, a n l by doing so remove the dairy work from the household, m a l o a better average class of butter, and got more money for i t The economical management of a. large or- even medium cream ery is found to be a matter of great difficulty in most instances. The small one, especially if it ba personal property, is usually so much bettor managed as in the end to bo more profitable Practical Farmer. v * K e e p M o r e lAre S t o c k . It is the skilful use of opportunities presented by a given farm that enables soma men to save themselves a good deal of hard work, at tho same time accomplishing quite creditable results on farms whore, in the hands of men less skillful, but meagre returns would /»be made. It is not alw;iys the sort of farm stock a man would fancy that fthoold govern in the selection, for * % man has preference for cattle, ' fcot having a cattle farm. The •MM is true in regtwd to sheep, and if a man has a desire to increase the stock upon tho land, while it is, all things being favorable, best to keep Such as meets his taste, and that in tho breeding and care of which he is bo>t informed, still he haa it within "'his power to improve his knowledge of animals that ho has not "bred, while it is ontireiy out---of his power to U n d e r a rbu#h, hilly farm, h a v i n g a thte_.fOil^aiid consequently a scant tttfMf "of grass adapted to growing Jtm^J cattle. I t is equally true that, the fancy being for sheep, ho can not t a k e up this line of stock husbandry and carry it on with succoss upon'" a rich bottom farm, or flat, rich land of any kind, especially if moist Henca t h e question comes up, whether there are portions of this farm that tho stock kept upon avoid and are seldom seen u p o n , on which some feed is going to •waste. If so, then clearly he Deeds to add another sort to the farm, and straightway set about looking up tho characteristics of that sort. He can not level the hills, putting fertile bottom lands where thsy stood, but he can put dheop on the farm, opening all the gates to pasture holds, and the sheep will quickly find their favorite feeding ground, and this will be upon the hills aud about the rocky places where there is a mixture of weeds ,and grass. By this sysism he can add'^O his income, hardly perceiving t h a t ho has added to his expenses. —Practical Fa rmer. F a r m N o t en. It is well to keep a sharp lookout on the currant bushe3 as soon as tho leaves begin to start. The c u r r a n t worm in some seasons is earlier than others, and if not checked in time may do great damage. Powdered hellebore dusted on the bushes whon the leaves are wet with dews will promptly destroy them. T h e r e is no danger of its poisoning the fruit The stable is best made in the basement of the barn, and then it should always be of concrete cemented with water lime. This cannot leak, and thus saves all tho liquid m a n u r e , which is worth as much as the solid excrement, if not more. The cost of replacing plank floors, beside the loss of liquid manure through them, will soon more than pay the expense of putting the barn on walls and stopping these wastes. It is a groat mistake to supposa that cows which get a bite of fresh grass early will not eat hay. The dry feed is necessary so long as they will eat it. Young tender grass is full of water, and h*s too little nutrition. It scours cows fed on it exclusively, and not only lessens tho milk yield, but causes tho cows to grow thin. Feed something dry, if it is nothing better than straw, and supplement its deficiencies by grain or oil meal. In any flock of sheep one should be a cosset, made a pet of, and trained to come at call. If a lamb has lost its mother or is disowned it will £>ay to bring it up by hand, keeping near the houso until grown, and giving as great a variety of food as possible, though not trying to fatten it. Tho pet lamb is one of tho nicest playthings for the children, all the more because it requires some care, and will thus teach them habits of thoughtfulness that inanimate playthings could not do. There is a great and notable increase in tho demand for sweet cream and this is likely to continue. One cause doubtless is the use of creameries aud of ice for making cream rise quickly, and the least possible injury by absorption from the air. Cream is no longer old before it is gathered; in fact, it is unalfoetod by injurious odors, as is new milk. Tho old-fashion e.l cream raised in open pans is good for cooking purposes; but like cooking butter it cannot be made generally popular as that from creameries. Laying hens are very fond of broken bones. They help to digest other food when they cannot get a sharp gravel, and with the strong digestive apparatus which fowls have, every part is made use of. Tho Hrac goes to make tho shells, but if the bones have been only cookod and not burnod, they are full of materia! from which the egg itself is made. The only advantage from burning bones is to n u k e them break up more easily. The fowls certainly do not like them as well, nor are they so good for them as when broken up T H E ••STAR-SPANGLED." without burning tor. -American Cultiva- DmuoHtlc Hint*.

The writer (Margaret Armistead Baker, in the New York World) is enabled to give the following account as an established fact: The night of Sept. 10, ISM, was a memorable one in the American his- .of on his son's vessel, the Surprise, where they were accordingly taken, but were afterward conveyed to the Mindea, where Key composed this immortiU song. All through the long night Key could hear the r o a r of the bombs as they tore through the air, but no explosion followed, and he was left in painful doubt until dawn as to the fate of his beloved country. Be-' fore it was light enough lie turned to see if his ilag "was still t h e r e , " and tory. The British fleet, consisting of ' he was Rewarded by seeing the beautithirty sail, appeared nt the mouth of 1 fnl StarBand stripes still floating on the Patapsco river with every intention I the soft jmorning air. It was at this of attacking the city of Baltimore. A momenta/that Key, completely carried short distance from the mouth of the ! away by the excitement of the hour, river stood Fort McIIenry, command- J wrote the "Star-Spangled Banner.1 ' In ed by L i e u t Col. George Armistead, hunting for paper he could only find U. S. A., a young man not over 31 years of age. He had under his command about 1,00) men. From the 12 th to the 14th of September the enemy besieged the fort in every available way —first landing many of their men within a few miles to the north of the fort, and finding they could gain no headway in this manner they returned to t h e i r vessels and kept up a perfect cannonade. In sheer desperation the British again landed a force of men—in all about 1,200— but they were again repulsed by tho intrepid fighting of Col. Armistead's men and finally beat a hasty retreat. The bombardment lasted about twenty-five* hours, during which time from 1,500 to 1,800 bombs were thrown, but, singular to relate, they nearly all broke in fragments over the fort. In spite of the severe firing Col. Armistead only lost four men, and about twenty-five were wounded. Of all that fought that day not ono man is aliwe, though in 1873 one of the company of the Fencibles survived—M. J. Cohen of Baltimore. The garrison at Fort McIIenry on the 1-lth day of September consisted of One company United States artillery, commanded by Cwpt. Evans; two companies of Sea JencibJes, the Washington artillery of Baltimore, the Baltimore Ffcdependent artillerists, the Baltimore Fencibles, a detachment of flotilla men, and Col. George Armistead. George Armistead was born in Newmarket county, Carolina, Va., on the 10til of April, 17S0. lie entered the army as a second lieutenant in 17'J'J. He roso to the rank of major, 1813, and way breveted lieutenant-colonel for gallantry at the capture of Fort Goorge in May, U:i3. He had five brothers in the army during the sam 2 year, many of who.se descendants nowlive. The vessels which attacked Fort McIIenry were sixteon in number, five of them being bomb vessels, and for this reason it was all the more remarkable that the fort should have held out, as it was anything but bomb-proof. Knowing this the general had sent Col. Armistead orders to surrender the fort as he considered it an impossible thing to resist such a large licet with only 1.1M0 men. Like Kelson at Copenhagen, Col. Armistead, turned a blind eye to tho orders, defended Ills fort, knowing that if he failed court-martial stared him in the face. Nothing, however, succeeds the back of several letters in his pocket, and it was as if on odds and ends this glorious- song of liberty was written. In the meantime he had landed in Baltimore, where he completed his work, and the next morning he took his maiden piece to Judge Nicholson, his brother-in-law. The judge was so struck with its force and beauty that he had it sent immediately to the printer, and within one hour it was printed on hand bills and all over tho city. Every one was wild about it, and it at once took its place as tlie song. Around the border of the song, in ,the type of the day, was the legend: "Bombardment of Fort McHenry." Below the song are the words: " W r i t - ten by Francis S. Key of Georgetown, I). C." The Baltimore American of 1*72, on the anniversary of tho battle of North Point, republished the song which had been written just fifty eight years before. Samuel Sands, the •printer boy who put the song in type, was living up to a few years ago and was the respected editor of the American Farmer. Several copies of the song, with the autograph of Key attached, are known to be in existence—one in possession of the late Mrs. Charles Howard of Baltimore, a daughter of the author; another belongs to Gen. Keim of Pennsylvania, whose son now has the poem, and the third went to Mr. Mahar, for many years head gardener of the executive mansion in Washington. In after vears Mr. Key changed a good many words of the soncr. There can be no doubt of the authenticity of the flag. It was preserved by Col. Armistead and bears upon ono of its stripes his name and tho day of the bombardment in his own handwriting. At his death it fell to his widow, who at her death left it to her daughter, the late Mrs. William Stuart Appleton, who was born at Fort McIIenry some years a f t e r t h e siege and at whose birth the flag was raised. It luvs ever been sought after oi\ all stite oee.isions, one of these being when Lafayette was entertained in this country and another was in the recollection of the writer, when it was displayed for weeks at our centennial, where Tt had a special guard of honor. At the time of Co!. Armistead's defense the city of Baltimore presented him. as a token of their high esteem The Peterbya Discuss Foreign Kobleraen. "When it comes to making foola of themselves I do honestly think that the American girl is entitled to t h e blue ribbon," remarked Mr. Peterby, who was reading the morning paper. * ' ^ s , it frequently happens that in the selection of their husbands they show bad taste," replied Mrs. Peterby, very sarcastically. "Is that a hit at me?'* "If the cap fits you there is no objection to your wearing it, particularly as it will cover that bald placo on y o u r head." "Thank you, Mrs. Peterby. You a r e very kind this morning." '*Oh, don't mention it; but in what particular respect has the Americaa girl been making a fool of herself, and thus invoking your wrath?" "Well another bogus German baron has married a wealthy American and has swam off with her money. T h e y were married in Baltimore, and now he has skipped." "And he did not belong to a high family?" asked Mrs. P. "Naw; his claims to belong to an elevated family was not as well founded as that of the man whose father was hung for horse stealing. He claimed to be Baron F. E. O. Von Sucrow, but there is not such a baronet in the Almanach de Gotha, although there may be lots of them at Sing Sing and in the barber shops.*1 "But there are some real noblemen who come to this country and m a r r y high-minded American girls." " T h e high-minded American girl who marries a foreign snob hasn't got any common-sense. It costs the American girl, on the average, ¢200,000 to marry one of these titled frauds, but the cost in misery is not known." "But some of these titled Englishmen who marry American girls are real baronets." "Bah! Very likely their motherstook in washing, and they themselves studied natural history as elephant attendants in a cheap cirou9. It's what you don't know about these foreign noblemen that makes them respectable. But it is just as I said: On tho nobility question the American woman is a conspicuous ass. If an orangoutang with a title were imported into this country, he would not be safe," and putting on his hat, Mr. Peterby indignantly went downtown to his office.—Texas Siftings. of his great bravery, an elegant silver like suecees, and of course all was i punch-bowl in the shape of the largest bombshell thrown into the fort by the British.

Some nine vears ago the eitiforgotten when he achieved tueh a gallant victory. The incessant firing of bombs, the clash of musketry, the red glare in tho heavens, tho groans of the dying, the moaning of tho wounded—sij^h was tho sceno which the flag waved over which inspired Francis Scott Key to compose our national song. The song G-oethe and His Doppelgsenger. Goethe, when a young man, wasresting by tho roadside on one occasion when he observed tho figure of a middle aged gentleman approaching him on horseback. There was something in the features and gonoral appearance of the stranger that attracted his attention in a marked degree, for the"face and figure seemed to be his own, although older and more developed. In their costume, however, there was no. similarity whatever, fot> while the stranger wore tho robes o f a . councilor of state, tho young^poot wore the ordinary dress of ciy^rnio. In the course of j'ears afterward and when the circumstajKJe had been nearly forgotten it^was brought before him ugain in a-'most startling manner, for one following e x t r a c t is taken:^-"" "This song was composed under tho following cireumstoffees: A gentleman had left Bajjdmore, under a flag of truce, for>he purpose of getting released frjorn the British fleet a friend of d at Marithe mouth of tho Patuxent and was not permitted to return, lest the intended attack on Baltimore should be disclosed. He /.ens of Baltimore had a magnificent monmuent erected to his memory, and it may be seen now in Druid Hill park, where it is visited by hundreds of strangers throughout the year. On looking at the flag it will be seen thatone of the stars is missing and a piece wad torn away. One of those dis-"* figurements was occiu-ioned by a bomb passing through it, and the other piece which is missing was cut out and sent was, therefore, brought up the bay to to bury the body of one of Col. Armithe mouth of the Patapsco, where the flag vessel was kept under guns of a frigate, the Surprise, aud was compelled to witness the bombardment of Fort McIIenry, which the admiral had boasted he would carry in a few hours. He wstchod the flag at the fort t h r o u g h the whole day with an anxiety t h a t can be hotter felt than described, until the night prevented him from seeing it. In the night he watched tha bombstead's soldiers in. Of all the devoted body of men who fought in that battle, as 1 have said before, none remain. The flag which inspired Key to writo his immortal song is now in the possession of Col. George Armistead's gratidson, Ebon Appleton, a wellknown citizen of this citv. In 1S74 the late Commodore Preble, U. S. N., held a special meeting of the Massachusetts Historical society, whore were displayed the three flags bearing ahell*, and at early dawn his eye was \ the greatest interest in tho history of our again greeted by tho proudly-waving J country, the most prominent, of course, .ay while passing the very spot where he had long since encountered the stranger he found himself similarly mounted and riding along leisurely and perceived that in form and feature he was now the very counterpart of tho mysterious horseman and to crown the miracle, that his costume was the same to the minutest detail, as ho was himself now a councilman of state also.— Be ford's Magazine.

It may not be generally known that "ration money" is due to soldiers or their htirs, it the soldier was at any time an inmate of a re Owl prison. Soldiers who paid their o*vn fare back to place of enlistment after discharge crin recover the same upon application to the government.—Ex. The Livingston Repulican says that a Howell yonng couple while reveling in a hammock on Sunday of last week were unconsciously photographed by C. A. Paddack, but the picture being too sacred tor the eyes of the public, the young man furnished ice cream and cierars, and no names were given. Walter M. Reason, the court stenographer of this judical circuit, has invented and applied for a patent upon an attachment for a type writer or caligraph which promises to be a great improvement over anything yet before the patent office. The device, which can be rapidly,attached to any machine and consists of an arm *o ' attached to the carriage that by simply touching an extra key arranged on the key-board, the carriage returns from the end of the finished line, the paper is rolled and all is in readiness for commencing upon the next. So f»r no typo writer has been invented that does not require two extra moves of the hand and arm Lyi i He tuen ran down the alky. A man who saw the blow gave the alarm and -Lyman was nicked upland taken to his home with blood streaming from his mouth, ears and eyes. Several physicians were called but they could do nothinsr for him and after the arrival jof bis brother, Clark, he was- removed to Harper baspital in Detroit. He did not regain consciousness and upon his arrival in this city at 7 o'clock last evening Mr. Lvman received a dispatch stating that he w?„s dead. Air. Lyman's parents reside in Stockbridge and bis nntiler went t.o Detroit yesterday on an excursion over the Grand Trunk. She: had not heard of I the assuIt until reaching the city.

This village was thrown into ^uite a good deal of excitement Wednesday morning over the announcement that W. H, Lyman, son of H. F Lyman, had been brutally assaulted by a colored man in Windsor. Ontario, with a neckyoke, from the effects of which death resulted. After the inquest, the remains were brought to Stockbridge lor interment. The Jackson Patriot's account of the sad fate of you rip Lyman is as follows: Clark \V. Lyman returned from Detroit last evening, where he went Monday night in response to a telegram announcing that huvbroXher, W^pff-K. Lyman had been senously~m~Jt?fed. When Mr. Lvman reached Windsor, to ' where his brother resided, he found him in an unconscious condition from the effects of a blow upon the head received from a colored man named Henry Williams. The tacts as related by Mn Lyman are as follows: His brother had been employed at McKee's lumberyard for a long time, where he held the position of a clerk. Henry W'lUams the colored man, was also employed there, and for some reason had a teeling oi ill will towards Lyman. Monday afternoon Lyman was engaged in handing boards to Williams, who was on the pile, when one of the boards slipped, striking Williams in the face. He got mad at the other and started to curse. Lyman apologized, but this did not appease Williams who threatened to get even with him. When 5 o'clock came the employees wont into the barn to cleanup. Williams entered the side door, and, just as Lyman WAS reaching over to brush his clothes, be grabbed a Curlett's Pinworm Remedy. (For man or boast.)

Charles Fredric Worth was born ia the town of Bourne, iu Lincolnshire, England. His parents where English, and little dreamed that their name would ever become almost synonymous with the centre of the fashion world. It was their ambition that Charles should learn a trade, and, with this end in view, apprenticed him at the ajre of thirteen to a printer, But the boy was so fastidious that he disdained to soil his lingers even, and evinced a strong hostility to handling type. Against the kind remonstrances of his parents, he abandoned the printing office when he had been there but seven months, and as the saying is went up to London. she graduated at Charlottevile, New York, she has written verse, but during the last 3'ear this has bourgeoned into a stately and ambitious form that may be said to be unique. She has now three finished lectures written in verse, which she has delivered since inauguration day —one as herhusband's substitute in Connecticut, when, in the ^middle of his campaign in Washington, she telegraphed him: .IAMKS TANXKR: DO not come. I will take yuur place. And she did, reading a new lecture in verse on Soldiers, andepecially the duty of the government towards them. Mrs, Tanner has four children, ranging from ten years old to twice ten, but she linds soma time to give to the (i. A. R., and to her other friends, the women suffragists. I heard her lecture this week on this latter question—it was a rhythmical and rhymed argument, In the dialect of an old-fashioned New England farmer, a controversy between John and Betsy, after the fasliion of Lowell or Carlton. Betsy's gru'imuir was sometimes out of joint, but she hud lots of facts and a shrewd wit and sarcasm that turned to derision John's ridiculous claims to superiority. I have heard her lecture to the G. A. R., too. It is a heroic didactic verso : and the memories of war time are emj phasized by the scream of the old eagle. j Corporal and Sirs. Tanner seem exact counterparts like their predecessors, General and Mrs. Black. General Black is ono of the most eloquent of orators and his wife an accomplished reciter, and each is proud of the attainments and ability.of the other. Corporal Tanner is an eloquent man, facile and vigorous of speech, careful and precise of articulation, and with a rin^in,'^ voice capable of pathetic modulations, and Mrs. Tanner seems likely to win distinction in current polemics and dialectics. Mrs. Tanner has a comely aiulattracti vo personality, a large head lirmly poised upon ample shoulders and a square face, in which strength of purpose and decision of character are conspicously marked. She wears her iron-gray hair brushed back from a high forehead in a style of which Madame fompadour'a 'coiffure was an illustrious example. Commissioner and Mrs. Tanner are going next week to Georgetown to live, and there they will take the boys and girls and house-hold pets and penates - to a great, stately old mansion in the middle of two acres of lawn. CHARLES FREDERICK WORTH. The boy had previously written to a friend living in the capital, asking tor assistance in securing a position in a draper's shop, or in what Americans call a dry goods store. His friend proved true, and after some ditliculty procured for young Worth a situation in the house "of Swan & Edgar. The lad evidently was a favorite at the start, and for more than six years continued to grow in the linn's favor. Speaking to an old acquaintance the other day Worth said,, concerning his relations with the firm: ••The heads of the establishment always treated me as if I were a near relative, and on one occasion..when I was senoifsTylTTTTIrs. Kilgar'took excel lent care of me. Indeed, if it, had not been for her I doubt if I should be alive today." One naturally asks. How did Worth come to be a dressinakor? Those familiar with his past say that he first conceived the idea of becoming a designer of fashions while taking with the buyers of the firm. Moreover, he frequently made suggestions which the heads of the departments were not slow to see in a favorable light. The more he talked with the buyers the more he resolved to go to Paris, and soon began the study of French. At length, unable to secure a positive engagement, he proceeded to the gay capital, and almost at once pot a position with Gaeglin & Co. I think Worth was now about twenty-two years old. In a few years he was at the head of the department, and strove to introduce several new departures. Failing to see his suggestions utilized, he established the lirm of Worth & Bobe'rgh. In 1870 he founded the now famous house of Worth. He has dressed many queens and princesses, and has been awarded medals at many great expositions, Mrs. Corporal Tanner. Such I'retty Ways. "She had such pretty ways with her." That was the reason an honest, hard working man gave for marrying a girl of whom he knew little else, but who was really a professional bigamist, traveling about the count ry and marrying husband after husband as a matter of speculation. * It is the pretty wa}'s of women which have -ruined many a man of every age, including the greatest of generals, statesmen and philosophers. If tho pretty ways come from the heart it is all right. If they are the result of cold, selfish, calculating art, woe to him who falls their victim. Nothing is truer than that women are both better and worse than men. A man cuuild hardly he so bad as a woman is when she puts on the prettiest ways of her sex for mischief.

Some years ago a part of Hits stony was removed for building purpose-J, an act of vandalism which should have been prevented at all hazards, and now trie remainder is submerged at all ae-asjms of the year. Wrhon whole, tho surface of tho "pictured rode" wai about twenty by thirty feet in extent, and was covered with representations of animals, fish and fowls, carved deep in the smooth surface. On ono side were the figures of a man and a bear, the latter being1 about life size. Near by was a buffalo track, and a short distance away was the representation of a large fish and a number of footprints, evidently representing the imprint of a child's feet. The work was evidently prehistoric people, as the traditions of the valley are that the representations were on the stones when the first white men visited the region, and that they then bore unmistakable signs of gre-at ago, being water worn and smooth. The vicinity of Paint creek is rich in aboriginal and prehistoric relics, and a volume might be written of the discoveries which have been made there.

The following from the Philadelphia ; Times, although flavored somewhat with sarcasm, is such a choice bit of j pleasanter lhat it will possibly give no j offence if reproduced in these columns: \ The administration is to have a poet \ laureate Mrs. "Corporal Tanner," the wife of the sturdy and widely-known Commissioner of Pensions. Ever since that's (he lirst means of recognizing an American lady on tfie streets of Paris':1 We would as soon think of buttoning' up our vests, or pulling on our ties after leaving the door for a walk, in Paris. Many and many a time we have picked out Americans'in Paris by that sign. I rather like the American girl for it, though. She looks as if she didn't care a cent whom it pleased or displeased.' FntUiinn .Votes. White skirts are undraped. Fashionable dress-makers manage to make them elaborate and decorative by alternate arrangements of plaits and gathers, shirrings and smockings, from the waist line, and panels and slashes, with re vers and borders, complete the elaboration. In honor of the centennial year the Martha Washington kerchief, folded lightly and crossed over the chest, is worn with afternoon toilets. These, kerchief's are made of . deep squares of white, cream and tinted silk mull, richly bordered with Puritan irills of silk lace. Women who are sure that their throats and necks are pretty and white< full and well rounded, wear the wide* falling collar, like tho Little Lord Fauntleroys, now so popular with girls as well as with boys, or the deep falling plisse of mull or nainsook or lace net, white, cream or tinted blue, yellow or pink. Short-sleeved", very short cape-like mantles, with long lapels in front, the sleeves sometimes entirely of lace and bead fringes, are shown in a variety of forms and made of velvet gauzes, cashmere, bengaline, brocaded silks and finished with tassels and Hots of ribbon, passementeries, motils, laces and raise fringes. Negliges for summer were never more charming than now. Tho tea-gowns, which have been cast down from their high place as reception dresses, are now universally made up as morning house dresses or negliges. They are generally made for summer of India silk or sheer French nainsook, and in some cases of crepon, a light crape-like wool, which comes in delicate colors. The long-handled parasol fails to find the general favor which was expected. It is too pronounced in .style and too heavy, A parasol with a handle of medium size is preferred by the l:*ist dressed woman. Thei* i's considered© demand for pure whi«.« sv.tti. pttmsols with ivory or light r.trodwocS handles. I3ou(fant styles in -plain black or whit* net are also elegant for dressy us* antiquarian, and there is every evidence that in past a^es the valley was thickly peopled by an unknown race, probably contemporary with the mound builders of the Ohio valley. At Moorefield, from the'time of tho first settlement, the cliff known as the Gap Rocks, iu the Petersburg- Clap, has born the gigantic representation of a common fox. The picture is upon the sheer and inaccessible face of the rook, some thirty feet from the top and nearly one hundred feet from the bottom, and bein? colored a dingy yellow, in sharp contrast to the brown stone. Recently (ilea MeGill, of Ohio, who was visiting Cell Beans, went out to view the fox, accompanied by Mrs. Beans. After an inspection from the bottom of tho cliff the two men ascended to the top. and making a ropo fast to a tree, MeGill lowered himself dowd to the fox. lie deseribjs it ai being twelve feet long, and painted or plastered upon the cliff with a substance resembling earthenware glaze, j which is as hard as the rock itself. The surface of the fox is quite rough, as though the stuff was roughly smeared on by h;ind be fort: it hardened.

A man by the name of Klinkingbcard says lie was once hunting in the Virginia mountains. He got lost, traveled around all day until, tired out, he sat down on a log to rest- After sitting there awhile he thought the log moved and jumped up and examined. He found to his unspeakable amazement that it was a large snake. He ran off about fifty yards and fired at it, but the ball glanced off without hurting the snake. The monstrous reptile raised its head about fifty feet. but Mr. Klinkiugbeard soon had another load in his gun, and this time he aimed at the smooth place around the neck where there seemed to be no scales.. This made t'ae snake awfully sick and it spewed up a canoe and nine Indians.' Mrs. Gordon Mackay's Jewels.

T h i s party hud determined to explore a h i t h e r t o unknown region in eastern M o n t n a in search of tho precio3 1. teen days after leaving Bnnnock p a r t y , while camped on the n o r t h k of the Yellowstone, were startled one evening by the sudden a p p e a r a n c e of a band of thirty Indians on the opposite- bank,' who, tiring t h e i r guns dashed peilraell into the stream, which .they crossed and came into camp, pret e n d i n g friendship, bnt conducting themselves in such an aggressive mann e r t h a t hostilities wore at one time imminont. Finally they withdrew. No one in the party slept t h a t night, knowing the country was full of Indians and fearful t h a t the red devils m i g h t attack them. T h e next morning the Indians returned to tho camp just after daylight, and after helping themselves to whatever seemod to strike t h e i r fancy forcibly prevented any of the party from saddling their Horses, The Hon. S. T . Houser, a former resident of St. Louis, who was one of t h e p a r t y , afterward governor of Mont a n a and now president of tho First national bank of Helena, in describing t h e events which followed says: " O a r leader, seeing t h a t something had to be done, formed a plan, showing at the s a m e t i m e no evidence of being alarmed at t h e turn affairs were taking. Passing by me he said in an undertone: 'Tell t h e boys there is going to bo trouble—to bo ready—keep a close watch, do as I do', and for their lives do not fire until I do.1 With this ho wont to work in the most unconeerned indifferent way imaginable, and movi n g around quietly, giving directions h e r e and there, interspersing t h e m with dry, witty remarks, and doing nothing to give us a clow to what his plans were. '•The mystery was finally solved when the opportunity came. Stuart, had been waiting to throw tho Crow chief off his guard and catch him a p a r t from his warriors. Our first w;Vning came with his quick, sharp order to 'fork out,' and tho same instant he covered the chief's heart with his une r r i n g rillo, tho muzzle of which was not more than two foot from the old w a r r i o r s breast. Instantly wo all followed suit, each ono covering an attack until daylight, using t h e i r IK>*O and arrows at so short a range t h e twang of their bow-strings could be distinctly ho ird, they worked no further injury upon the besieged camp. T h e morning came to look upon a scene which would have sickened a h e a r t of stone. W a t k i n s was shot through the heat, and, though dying, was unconsciously crawling upon his elbows and knees round ar.d round in the tent. The life-blood of the unfortunate Bostwiuk was flowing from five wounds, and with both t h i g h s and a shoulder broken he lay awaiting death. II. A. Boll, shot twice through tho body, was supposed to be mortally wounded, and S. T. liausor had a bullet lodged against a rib over his heart. JusL beyond rill) range tho Indians still hovered in plain sight, watching: for a favorable opportunity to complete their work. One-half (seven only) of the white men were left unharmed and the wounded were to bo cared for. It was decided to stay with tho m o r t illy wounded until death came to their relief, then to run the gantlet of t h e Sioux as well as tho Crows in the effort to reach a place of safety. It was also determined to give battle to the enemy before starting. Hauser, (Jeery and Underwood made an a g r e e m e n t t h a t if either of them was mortally wounded he should put an end to his own o.xistance to prevent unnecessary sacrifice of the party by remaining to defer.d a man who would die any way. All being ready the party started in single file for an elevated plateau about 300 yards off. Arriving at the place selected for the light tho captain tried to draw the Indians into battle, but t'ley refused the challenge, and the party returned to the camp, packed up, and started on their perilous journey. J u s t before leaving liosowiek, knowing ho could n p f n v e , blew his brains out. On the second day of the homeward trip, while in the midst of prepa r a t i o n s for supper, the party were startled by the report of a rillo in their midst. It was (leery, who, remembering, his agreement and knowing he could not live shot himself in the head. T u r n i n g to his friends who came rushing up to\him he said: '-Comrades, I am fatally \Ypunded and must die sjon, and the fact that you would all stay by me and die for'me has determined me.

" F o r t u n a t e l y they all looked to t h e i r chief and saw that h i was lost if a gun was firod. We also looked 'to our captain and our danger was almost forgotten in admiration. His whole bearing and manner had changed; he seemed and was taller. His usually calm faco was aQro, his quiet blue eyes were now flashing like an eagles's, and seemingly looking directly through the fierce and for a time undaunted savage who stood before him. For several seconds it was doubtful whether tho old warrior chief would cower boforo his white foo or it his fate thon and there. '•' ,fa**Capt. Stuart, with his flashing eye : / < ^ J H l e d upon him, was fiercely and ^ - * l » q u e n l l y reproaching t h e Indian with his bad faith, winding up in a voice of stern determination: 'Signal you w a r r i o r s off, or I'll send you to your last hunting-grounds!' " F o r an instant tho suspenso was i n d e s c r i b a b l e and a deathlike silenco reigned. Tho dark, fierce, snakeliko eyes of the fiends about us was enough to unnerve most men. Nono could do- «ide, from the defiant air of tho clujf, ther ho \v;b going to give tho derfeignal or die; bnt finally a wave vo hand removed our doubts, and lis braves all lowered t h e i r weapons j\nd sullenly sought t h e i r robes and ponies." For fourtoon days thoso savages followed tho party, seeking an opportunity to murder them.

IIo pressed the trigger and the cap only explode 1. Hauser then appealed to him, saying: "For God's sake desist; this is a w a r n i n g . " • To this (leery made no reply, but seeming to solioquizo with himself, said: " I don't know what to think of that; it never snapped before." Cocking the pistol again he engaged in prayer for a few minutes and then pulled tho trigger that launched him into eternity. After burying their comrade the party proceeded on t h e i r way, with the reds in sight all tho time. After several days' marching they came to a trail overhung with a hill, whore the Indians assembled in large numbers. Hauser, seeing the only salvation for at least a portion of the party was for some one to go over and around the hill, thus drawing the Indians1 fire while the others went through the pass, volunteered for this duty. Obtaining Stuart's consent he cocked his rillo, spurred his pony, and was olT. Underwood, whose left a r m was useless, determined to share the dancer, and with his bridle in his right hand he started after Hauser. The appearance of theso two bravo men seemed to have a paralyzing effect upon the'Crows, and before they i\uvM recover from their surprise the party •Was out of the pass and on open ground.

Learning: that several Chicago i>eople had held wiuuiDK numbers is the May drawing of the Louisiana, State Lottery Company,a Traveler representative was sent to learn what he could of the fortunate persons. The Drat visit wus paid to Mr. F. B.

The $5,1(00 was paid to me through the American k.xpr«atj company." CougraLulating Mr. Haird upon his good fortune the reporter withdrew and called upon Schwann ,x .Neither, liquor dealers at lu3 North Wells Ht., who it was reported had held one-twentieth* of the same ticket. Mr. Neither baid: "Yes, we received per United States Kxpress company $•,000, but the ticket was placed iu our huuds for collection by one of our customers, Mr. Wm. Keller of Summit, 111. The cash l:as beeti turned over to him, and, 1 understand, divided auionj,' Mr. Keller and three others WHO were interested with him in the transaction." Mr. L.

The sphere of the blacksmith has of late years been gradually bijt surely narrowing dowu, and it now begins to look as if the occupation would soon bo goue. Ouce he had io make horse shoes, horse nails, and sometime.* part of the simpler tools; now these arc all manufactured by machinery. They constitute separate und independent branches of business and are furnished ready made to the hand of the smith fur better, cheaper, and more serviceable than they could be made iu his shop. The last innovation, however, by which ho is threat ened is the most serious of all. A system of iidjustable horseshoes without nuils is about to bo introduced into Lngland. English need or' suca a contrivance is far greater than American need, tor, as a ru'e, English horseshoeing is a diabolical sort o' bungle, au l the cuniberson shoes aud ungaiuiy nails used iu England are simply relics of a primitive age and barbarous in their effect on the horny substance of the hoo:'. Capable veterinary surgeons have estimated that twenty-five in every 1,000 horses in England die some ten years before their time as a result of lock;aw or some other damasic inflicted in tho process of shoeing. The light shoes and dainty n.iiis of the American blacksmiths are the wonder and derision of the English furriers, who regard these articles as mere toys compared with their own. There is no doubt, however, that tho estimate which has bee-n made of the loss of horse service in England und Wales alone in consequence oi tho necessity of shoeing once a month, and which is t.!3,000,01-0, may serve as a pointer to this country, and when the saving in expenditure and time and the increase in the working power oi' horses which a perfectly elective adjustable shoe would effect, are considered, the adoption of such a contrivance in America would, in all probability, bo rapid and universal.

As a landlord he is a busy, energetic business man, shrewed and practical. .His hotel is perhap- the• iine.st in the city so far as fare is concerned and patrons of the wealthier class. In private he entertains social schemes and talks loudly of k,the/ cause." l i e and his wife are apostles of the woman's rights party and nearly every year a convention of long haired men and short haired Vv-omen mrkes a raid on the house and Uke~s;-----po.:sos-dou of ail the fine rooms. Then the"regular guest finds himself relegated to the upper regions until the enthusiastic mob of '•thought thinkers" has passod by. The pampered aristocrat, Baby IVIcKee has jus't, ltroived a vi-it from the President, at his headquarters at the Cape May cottage of Mr. Wanamaker, and went with him to see a game of base ball on Saturday. The AleKee infant is a social success and his levees are attended by vast numbers of oflicu seekers. I re Iced, it is seriously believed.that he is in danger of being kidnapped and held in the wild mountain retreats of Indiana for a ransom in the sdiape of a po>to;'iee. The last complaint indicted noon Ike infant is however rather discouraging and one must sympathize with him. A local song writer has dedicated a new lullaby i 0 Baby M d S o . The young king of Spain is not more weighted with the cares of state than is our young Indiana friend, with the doting grand-father. Dr. William A. Hammond has been sued by his architect for six thousand dollars as payment for services prior to his recentdismis-al. Dr. Hammond started out to build a 810,000 hospital on tho Fourteenth street road and a $60,000 house opposite the residence of tho British minister. .Thus far the expense incurred in carrying out the architects plans has been §220,000 and the doctor is mad all the way through. .He did not know that most Washington architects are .so used to government contracts, that they would/subm i t plans for a $10 chicken coop that would cost SlO.UiiO to build and trust to future legislation to provide for the deficiency. Dr. Hammond's interests in his chosen work does n o t weaken. It is impossible to meet .him without hearing something that is novel or timely regarding the human bran and its ailments. The other evening he nappened to speak of the -Johnstown calamity. The Knight- Templar's Conclave to be held by the knights of this jurisdiction in this city next October is expected to outview in interest, any similar event that, over occurred here. The numbers of visitors will be nearly as great as during the inauguration. The paraders will have the advantage of the most teautiful season of t h e year in Washington. IS T H E BEST.

Thirty oue cars went down over the bridge and were piled one upon tho other in the water. A carload of lime in the center of the train was the last to go down, and it was scattered over the pile of shattered cars. Then the debris took fire and notwithstanding the efforts of the people to put out the liames, continued to burn. The arms and legs of the victims could be seen protruding from the debris, No member of tho crew remains to tell of those who went down. It is almost certain that from twenty-rive to thirty people were killed in tho wreck. The water in tho creek at tho point where the accident occurred is about twelve feet deep and it is expected that ten or twelve bodies are in the botto n of tho crook, held there by the wreckage.

MITCHXLI.] company with a number of other newspaper men from Texas and elsewhere, we started from Dallas fur the City of Mexico, via El Paso. Texas has been so often described that it b not necessary to devote, much space to her peculiarities, wonders and beauties, yet there are always interesting facts to record in regard to this and growing state. Seven years ago over the Texas and Paclfi railrom Dallas to El Paso. The scene "is vastly different from what It was len, and we begin to realize what a powerful agent this magnificent railway has been in developing the vast region along the- rotate. Most railroads follow popula- The plains stretch away to the horizon lit all directions as far as -the eye can reach, almost as level as a floor. There is little vegetation and few signs of life of any kind. The soil of the plains is good, mostly of a chocolate color and very deep, but the rainfall is not sufficient for general agriculture. If plenty of water could be secured from artesian wells, UJs great plateau would blossom as the rose, but, otherwise, it can only be classed as a grazing country. That Texas is a state of magnificent distances may lje fully realized by a trip across its broad expanse. It is about as far from Texarkana to El Paso as from Texarkana to Savannah, (Ja. It is farther from Canadian, Texas, to Brownsville, Texas, than from Canadian to St. Paul, Minnesota, or to Helena, Montana. A number of Texas counties are nearer to St. Louis than Galveston. Brownsville, Texas, is nearer to Central America than to Lipscomb county, Texas. The Texas and Pacific is a great railroad. It is one of the smoothest and best equipped in the Union, yet it takes its passenger •4 by means of ft clotfe oaf, In regular Indian fashion. They havo fruits, milk, coffee, mescal, toquilla, tamales, chill con came, MARKET PLACE. <tlon into new countries, but the Texas and Pacific blazed the way. It penetrated a vast uninhabited region and made its settlement and development possible. Not many years ago the country from Weatherford to El Paso was a howling waste. To-day, it counts its cities by the score and its people by the tens of thousands. Such cities as Cisco, Abilene, Colorado, Big Springs, Midland, Pecos and El Paso stand where the prairie dog held undisputed sway, and we see farms and vineyards where the buffalo and antelope roamed at will. Farther onin Mexico, this same mighty agent, "the railway, is at work. The journeys that required months of time and untold hardships and discomforts a few years since are now made in a few days in luxurious palace cars. The mines and the vast agricultural regions of Mexico are made accessible to the outside world by such great railways as the Mexican Central, ami the work of development is rapid in consequence. Indeed the railway is a great civilizer, and ere long it will place all the riches of the American continent, from Alaska-ioT'atagonia, at our very doors. , ^ There is much beautiful country between Dallas and El Paso, along the Texas and Pacific. With waving fields of grain, ripe almost for the harvest,, with the growing corn, the thriving orchards the inviting farm houses, the fat cattle upon a thousand hills, the broad prairies and plains and the thriving cities ever and anon coming into yiew, there is much along the route to interest the traveler. In the Abilene country we sec countless thousands of prairie rings on the level red prairies, forming a ttsvel picture for those who witness it for st time. As far west as Big Springs ^ps look well, as the rainfall this seahas been sufficient for the needs of Agriculture. West, of Big Springs the country rapidly grows dryer as our train chases the setting sun. The country is thinly populated and there is no longer any trains two days and two nights to run f nom Texarkana to El Paso. Our part)', consisting of sixty-eight person*, left El Paso for the City of Mexico, via the Mexican Central railroad. The distance is 1-225 miles and the road runs the entire distance along the great central plateau of the Mexican Republic. The elevation varies from 3700 to 9000 feet above the sea level, the average being about 0000. This gives the Mexican Central many points of advantage over lines near the coast, as the climate along the line is bracing, the atmosphere pure ami there is no danger from the fevers that infest the hot coast country. In this connect ion it may he noted that the Mexican Central is one of the best equipped rail-' ways on the. continent. The joari^bed is firm and smooth, the cap* excellent and the official-* courteous-and obliging. Leaving ElJ^rso we soon realized that we WTre-trTa strange land, as the face oC tjie'eountry, the people, the architecture and the products are all different, For several hundred miles the country is very dry and uninviting, though stoekraising and mining are carried on to a considerable extent. There is jio fanning here without irrigation, but wherever water was found we saw fertile fields and evidences of patient industry on the part of the Mexicans. 'Every drop of water is utilized, the river beds being left absolutely dry in many places on account of the demands of the irrigating ditches. The people live in villages mostly composed of adobe houses, or houses built of large sundried bricks. These "houses are low. square and not preposcssing in appearance, but the interiors of many of them are handsomely finished in white plaster and elegantly furnished. They afford a cool retreat from the semi-tropic sun, being many degrees cooler inside than the average wooden house would be in the same climate in the hot season. Wherever there is a village you are sure to see a cathedral spire which appears to be the centre of attraction. The church'is usually the most imposing edifice in sight and some of them ,are very ancient and costly. Oil speeds our train, passing villages and haciendas at frequent intervals. The mountains that all the way appear on either side of us iseemto be getting higher and more imposing. The valley grows wider and less '•barren. Occasional farms appear, battle, sheep, goats and burros browse contentedly on the plains. Cactus, mesquitc and thorn bushes become more plentiful, calling to mind the saying that "in Mexico everything has a sticker on It'1 Picturesque groups of men, women and children crowd almut the train at the stations, all bearing the unmistakable Btnmp of the Indian blood that Hows in their veins, for, be it remembered, a large majority of the inhabitants of Mexico are descendc.l from the aborigines and not from the Spanish conquerors. They speak a sort of Spanish dialect, considerably corrupted by a mixture of Indian words. IN HOLIDAY ATTIHE. confectionery and krdek knacks of various sorts for sale, and their chattering in broken Spanish is amusing. Not one in a hundred of them can speak English, but they are good uatured and patient, and the traveler soon picks up enough Spanish words to drive trades with them in their own tongue for such articles as strike his fancy. They sell milk by the glass at the stations for a few coppers per glass, but a suggestion from some of our party that goat milk and burro milk were considered good in Mexico had a tendency to take away the craving for milk on the part of some of the excursionists. The first important city south of Juarez is Chihuahua, capital of the state of the same name. It is a beautifully located and well built city of some 20,000 inhabitants. It is noted for its rich silver mines and its beautiful cathedral. Chihuahua is 225 miles from El Paso and 1000 miles from the City of Mexico. The tall spires of its great cathedral are seen for many miles before we reach the city. A mint has long been in operation in Chihuahua, and there are many rich silver mines iu tht> surrounding mountains. American influence is probably felt to a greater degree here than in any other city in Mexico, though the Mexicans far outnumber all other nationalities combined. Chihuahua was founded about 350 years ago. It gets its water supply through an old stone aque luct built 'J20 years agoV Leaving Chihuahua our, train winds around beautiful El Corohel mountain and we enter the valleys of the San Pedro and Concho.-Here we begin to see a bett e r 'farming country. The valleys lire greener and more fertile. There are fields of eon. and wheat, as well as occasional fields of cotton, all clean as a garden and showing promise of good crops. Mexie.m peons are seen at work in the fields naked down to the waist and with their legs bare up to the knees. They the west. The next station of importance is Lerdo, with 12005, inhabitants. In the iaguna country. To the east of this station is a vast plain abounding in salt flats and marshes and known as the Bolson de Mapimi, south and w o t of Lerdo are extensive grain and cotton farms. The cotton shipments from this station amount to about 30,000 bales annually, most of which goes to cotton factories at various points in Mexico. At the stations in this region we see long lines of patient little burros being driven in from the outlying districts loaded down with all •ortsof commodities. Crates of oranges, t/ales of hay and straw, fire-wood, sacks of corn and beans, building stone, ores from the mines, vegetables and many other things arc packed to the railway stations on the backs of these hardy and useful animals. The loads that they carry are enbrmous, and often they are so buried beneath their burdens that their ears, tail and feet alone are visible. These burro trains often come long distances, even hundreds of miles across the mountains. They are guided by Mexicans on foot who often themselves pack burdens on thenown backs. On their return trips the burro trains, or caravans, take manufactured goods back to the mines and ranches in the distant mountains. In due time we begin climbing the mountains towords Zacatecas. After hours of steady climbing, our engine puffing and laboring very hard, we reach the highest point on the road, about 8400 feet above the sea level. The surrounding mountains are bleak and bare, the air is crisp and cool and all signs of agriculture have been left behind in the valleys below. Here, at the coldest point on our route, we cross the Tropic of Can::er and enter the torrid zone, but we should never suspect it from the temperature. Soon we get a peep down into a deep valley ahead of us, and there spread out below us like a painted panorama, lies the city of Zacatecas. This city contains about 60,000 inhabitants. It is mainly built of red sandstone and presents a peculiar appearance on this account, as most Mexican cities are built of white stone, while the villages are usually of dark adobj?. Above the ravine in which Zacatecas is built, the mountains rise on every hand, their slopes being dotted with massive stone buildings in which the work of silver reduction is carried on. This is one of the most important mining centers in- the Re-trtiblic, and the surrounding mountains are literally honey-combed with mines. On a high mountain near the city is an ancient church built in 1728. In former times penietnts who had been particularly wi-ked were accustomed to ascending this mountain to the church on their hands and knees, and such penitential pilgrimages are occasionally made even to this day. There is also a primitive church in Zacatecas which was built in 1.-)59. Leaving Zacatecas, our train rapidly descends from the mountains into the broad and fertile plains of the State of AguasCalientcs. Here great quantities of corn, wheat, barley and wool are raised. .The at work and unmindful of the strange visitors forms a novel and in ing scene. There are large wooiem in Aguas Caltontes. Prom this plnof towards the City of Mexico we notice that the country is densely lated and that irrigation is no longer essary to successful fanning. The wheal is as line as ever grew anywhere and i» ripe for the harvest Most of the cutting is done with sickles, though we saw an occasional reaper and binder of Americanmanufacture. Now the cities come thick and fast Here is Lagos with 40,000 inhabitants. It has large cotton and woolen mills. But Leon, in the state of Guanajuato, Is the great manufacturing city of the Republic. It has 100,000 inhabitants and produces large quantities of cotton and woolen goods, saddlery, boots and shoos, hats, cutlery and other goods. Leon is in a broad and rich valley that is in a very high state of cultivation. The soil is black, level and exceedingly rich. In fact we doubt if there is a more fertile section on the face of the earth. Here we saw beautiful wheat fields, waving corn and very fat cattle and sheep. It will be remembered that Leon is the place where the great flood occurred last year. The city j;i A conm.KK. nearly G003 feet above the sea level, yet itis in a level plain with mountains on both sides. Last year a great waterspout flooded the valley, destroyed four thousand houses, washed away twelve miles of the railroad track and caused the death of several thousand people who were either drowned or buried beneath falling walls. In fact the number lost will never he fully known, as many decaying bodies are believed to still be beneath the ruins. Queretaro, in the state of the same name, has 40.000 inhabitants. It is an interesting city and is built in a beautiful valley. It was here that Emperor Maximillian was shot, June 19, 18CT. We might fill columns in regard to Leon or Queretaro, but there is so much of interest, in Mexico that we must crowd facts together. Leaving the cities of the central valleys behind We climb the rim of the great basin. in which, like a fairy queen sits the great City of Mexico. INDIAN FAMILY. farming of much consequence.

In this connection it may be remarked that most of the lauds in Mexico are held in large estates by the favored classes, while the masses are engaged in a struggle for existence as tenants or day laborers. Fortunately for the latter clashes their wants are few and easily supplie.l. owing to the mild climate. A simple diet of corn cakes and stewed beans constitute their staif of life, with occasional bits of meat and plenty of red pepper. Most of the plowing is done with oxen. The yoke is strapped across the foreheads of the animals and made fast to their horns, so that they push with their heads instead pulling in the usual wa •. Santa Kosalia, famous for its sanitary hot springs, is an important town and is beginning to attract the attention of foreigners. Forty-five miles south of Santa Rosalia is Jimenez, the shipping point for the great Parral mining district lying to q, i city of Aguas Cal'ientes, so called from its many hot springs, has about 50,000 inhabitants and is one of the most attractive places iu Mexico. Immense stone bath houses are supplied with hot water direct from the hot springs by means of substan- ! tial stone aqueducts, ami a bath can be had either iu a stone bath tub or in a large and beautiful pool covering about one hundred feet square. This pool is surrounded and protected by a massive stonewall about twelve feet high, ami has stone bottom, sides and steps, it is exceedingly clean and attractive as a hashing place. Many people visit Aguas Calientes for their health on account of the hot springs. Near the bath houses are the lavadotos. These are massive A D e s e r v e d Rebuked.

"Walking Day" is the odd and appropriate term of a holiday in Warrington, England, when children and teachers march in procession and large numbers of people take excursions to various points of interest. Many of our holidays are walking days, although they do not receive that designation. William Barber, a South Georgia railroad man, must have a place among curious criminals. Some timo ago ho employed a negro near the railroad on which he was employed to present systematically claims for stock destroyed bv it, and when tho company forwarded tho money for settlement tho two divided tho pile.

The "devil" is out on a "time" this week, therefore the readers of the DISPATCH will please overlook all errors that may appear in this issue. Quito a number of our villagers are enjoying themselves camping ori the shores of the different lakes in this vicinity, of which there are many. The Misses Minnie, Flora and*Millie Hodgeman of this place were visitors among Pinckneyites last Saturday and Sabbath.—South Ly< ;, Excelsior. James Farrell, of Pinckney, was bit in the calf of his leg by a dog in this city, Tuesday night. The dog is doomed to death.—Ann Arbor Register. Miss Tressa Staffan, who has been in the millinery business in this place during the past three months, removed her stock to her home at Chelsea last Friday. Miss Kate Brown, who has been teaching school in Chicago, 111., for a number of years, is spending her vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brown, of East Putnam. "A Brief Sorrow," is the title of a continued story that is commenced ia tnis issue of the DISPATCH. It will be very interesting. : Now is the time to subscribe and get the benefit of the story. Last Saturday, as little Robbie Culhane was playing with a number of little boys among some barrels at his father's cooper shop, he fell from the lop of one of the barrels and fractured^ his left arm. Dr.; C. W. Haze was called and reduced the fracture. Mr. C. H. Edwards, a dentist of South Lyon, will visit this place next Friday fqr the purpose of doing any dental work that the people of this TIcinity wish to have done. Mr. Edwards informs us that if he can obtain enough patronage he will establish an office here, and will be at his office one or two-days each week. He is fetghly recommended as a first-class dentist. Miss Sarah Courter of Farmington, yisited Dr. C. W. Haze's people in this place last week and the 6rst of this. Inspite cf the busy times among the farmers, our merchants report a steady increase in trade. Verily the people of the surrounding country are beginning to learn where they can do their trading the cheapest. In Men's Shoes we have a line for fl.75, Congress, all solid leather counters and insoles, at the Star Dry Goods Store. * •Three children, two boys and a girl, aged respectfully about 6, 7 and 9 years, were taken to the Coldwater public school from Pinckney this week. Their names were Crowley, and their mother was considered an unfit person to bring up the ehildren properly.— Livinjareton Republican. Mrs. H. J,- Rogers* who wa3 visiting friends at Mason, was called to her home at this place last Friday on account of the illness-of her father, Volna Potter, who lives with Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. He is able to be around again, however. At the school meeting which was held in the high school room last Monday night, Messrs. Justus Swarthout and R. G. Webb were elected trustees of the school board to succeed Messrs. T. Grimes and T. Read, whose term has expired. Mr. R. C. Stackable of Genoa, will' leave next Friday for Big Rapids,, where he has been engaged to teach school, Mr. Stackable is a thorough teacher, and the school boaH of that place made no mistake in employing him. The DISPATCH will keep him posted on all news in this vicinity. Iii order to make room, for his winter stock, F. E. Wright will sell summer clothing at cost during the next thirty days. Mr. Wright says that he means business and will do just as he says; Now is the time to secure some great bargains, as lie has a nice stock to select from. It would be a good\ investment for some of our monied men to invest a lifctle money in the erection of a number of business places on the vacant lots on Main-st. There is no doubt but what they could be rented to people who desire to come here and do business. The appearance of the pest, the aphia, or "green midge," spoken of as affecting the wheat and other cereals, seems to be quite general throughout this county as well as in other parts of the country. From an interview with different, farmers in this vicinity, we find that there is no cause for great alarm, as the pest is doing but little, if any, damage to the cereals. They are now leaving, and no doubt ere another week has gone bye they will be a tiling of the past. The picnic given uader the auspices of St. Mary's church of this place in Dr. C. W. Haze's grove on July 4th, was a grand success, both financially and enjoyably. The committee on entertainment should receive much praise for the able manner in which the programme was arranged and performed, and the ladies of the society can feel assured that the excellent dinner that was served was appreciated by the large crowd that was present. \V. P. Van Winkle, our worthy Prosecuting Attorney, read the Declaration of Independence in fine style, and the speech rendered by Senator. Gorman was much appreciated. Tremain's band furnished the music for those who wished to dance. , In all it was a most enjoyable occasion. In Memoriam. • Died, July 1st, 1889, Willie E. Davis, aged twenty-eight years. The subject of this sketch was the only and beloved child of his parents—their comfort in the present and their hope in the future, when, as advancing age should steal away the strength and vigcr of early life, his strong arm should be tha stay of their declining years, hia voice cheer 4hem as they glided toward the "valley of the shadow." But. God, in his providence, ordered otherwise, and their hearts and home are left desolate. " Yet, in their deep affliction, the remembrance of his filial devotion, his tender and sympatnetic nature, his patient endurance of great suffering, and the assurance that he died trusting in Jesus, will soothe the grief tljat time alone can heal. It is vain to ask why these things must be:— "Let ns be patient! these severe afflictions Not from the ground arise, But oftentimes celestial benedlUons Assume this dark disguise.", "We see but dimly through the mist and vapors* Amid these earthly damps " ' What seem touis but sad, funeral tapers, May be hearln's distant lamps." Richmond, Virginia. July 5th, 1889. Editor DISPATCHr ' When I left Pinckney ] • promised you and several Of th§ readers of yOut valuable paper, that I would write you in regard to Richmond, which is naturally the queen city of the "sunny south.'' Richmond occupies a very pretty anil most picturesque situation. The city is dispersed over a multitude of hills of various sizes. The stately Jame* descends from west to east and is or> sti ucted by a number of small 1813039» clumps of trees, and myriads of rocks', amohg which it tumbles, foams and roars, constituting what are called the falls. The same river at the lower end of the city bends at right angles to the south and winds off seemingly relnctant for many miles in • that direction. Its polished surface is caught here and there by the eye, but is more generally closed from yiew by the luxurant growth of trees along its banks. One cannot but be impressed by the grandure of the scene, as when apparently in the midst of those trees he matches glimpses of the white sails of approaching and departing vessels. Although at present a backward city, probably no other in tho Union can boast of a greater number of more extensive and beautiful parks. I will not attempt to name or describe them all, We have both the East and West End Parks that in point of beauty cannot be sur> passed. Hillsides, that a few years ago were in a crude and unsightly condition with herds of goats and cattle browsing upon them, have been handsomely terraced and turfed and are now smiling with rare flowers and shrubbery. From Chimborazo Park— a lovely spot—there is an elevation sufficient to enable one to. see the harbor of the city and to open up splendid views on both sides of the James (and more particularly on the south side) that can seldom be excelled. Libby Park, a name that has become and ever will be historic, is a perfect gem in its natural beauty and attractions. Walled in by an elaborate fence of shrubbery and covered with beautiful flowers, it presents a most beautiful appearance. Rolling at the foot of this park is the placid James fringed in with the willow and other wild growths where birds with musical notes . can be heard at all times. Shield's Park, in the West End, contains nearly. ona hundred acre3. It is handsomely ornamented with shade trees, shrubbery, flowers and a minature artificial lake. This is the largest park belonging to the city, and I think Richmond evinced much wisdom in buying it. The importance of/this park i-; already felt and thousands of the city people visit it daily in pursuit of pure air and rest. The fast going switchback gives one a 'through ride for a nickel; and refreshments of all kinds can be obtained on the grounds. I must not forget to mention Gamble's Hill, Monroe and Capitol Parks that are held in high esteem and are visited by all classes. But if one has spare time and wishes a fV.v hours of real pleasure, let him take the Gondola Chimborazo at Fulton St. and glide down the James to Warwick Park; seven miles distance. Nature has here with a bountiful band prepared everything for the pleasure and comforts of man. The giant oak stands upon the river hank towering amidst the clouds while trees of smaller crowth afford' cool and delightful shade. If one is thirsty the cold pure spring water is at his feet, and seats beneath the shade trees afford him peaceful rest. The mammoth forest, which, at this season of the year appears a wall of green, cannot fail to awaken ones admiration. The Pavillion has a seating capacity for 3,000 people. It has three floors and is 130 feet long by 40 feet wide. This park contains 12"t acres. Four miles below the city is the Government warfleet of Monitors, built on the original Erricson plan. The fleet consists of seven well equipped and strongly built vessels, all of which are' ready at short notice to defend Uncle Sam's people or possessions. It nearly, sends a chill through ones veins as be glides down the river past them anct gazes into the broad mouths of their ugly looking guns. If this letter finds a place in yo columns, perhaps in a future one^ , will attempt a description of the business .jjprtion of Richmond, together* with a description of the farming lands in this vicinity.

William Walter Phelps, who has been made minister to Germany, wan born in New York City in 1839,graduated at Yale in 1860 and a t Columbia law school in 1863, but practised only for a few . years as a lawyer, having ample means of his own. He preferred a political career and h a s been a member of several congresses. He was on the committee on foreign affairs in three successive congresses, where he acquired a knowlege of international questions which h a s been of great advantage to him. President Garfield made him minister to Austria where, although his stay was very brief, his resignation being tendered upon Garfield's death, he succeeded in establishing excellent relations between that country and t h e United States. Quite lately President Harrison appointed him chief commissioner of the American commission sent to Berlin to settle the Samoan question; It is well known how creditably the United States has come out of this ticklish job,and the honor of this is no doubt duo to the lirniness of Mr. Phelps and colleagues. That the republic of Mexico has a future no one can doubt, and one of the signs of its increasing prosperity is the extension of its foreign relations, .No country1 can afford to be isolaiod, as it could a century ago. The world h a s grown smaller since the development of steam navigation, and the discovery of the cicatrical telegraph, and almost t h e solo remaining instance of complete i l l a - tion is the Pit -aim island colony, which can hordly be held up as a model of progress. Mexico has within her borders the d e m o n s of national greatness, and the growth of the federal power is not the least encouraging sign of-her prosperity. Instead of a number of small states continually jealous of each other and often engaged in actual warfare, there is a genuine federal . government, with power to pates laws and en'orce its decrees, and as a result Mexico i.s on the h i g h road to prosperity and to the assumption of her rightful place among t h e nations of the worid. The general election that is to take place in France in September next will witness the culmination of a political discussion that, will soon s t a r t u p in that country. There can be no doubt that, in the minds of many Frenchman, the existing constitution is unsuited to France. The chamber of deputies has made itself supreme without acquiring the necessary sense of responsibility, and has reduced t h e state to a very inferior position. What France needs, they argue, is ii strong { executive, who, wilh his cabinet, might be as independent of the national legislature as the president of the United States is independent of congress. By restricting the power of a parliamentary majority a-nd extending the presidential functions, France, like the United States, it is held, would have not only a strong and durable, but a free government. At any rate the result of the election wjii determine the future of that cotmlry. America has reall^-be^ome a country Of sports lajd^out-door recreations. •The arpay^of sporting events chroni-] daily in the newspapers and the unbounded enthusiasm of spectators and participants prove t h a t out-door exercise is growing rapidly in favor, and bespeaks a healthy inlluonco over our people. oi'Tixo GOWNS. STYLISH HABITS F o r H o r s e b a c k Riding-— N e w O u t i n g G o w n s — W a t e r Rigs f o r Girls Fishing a n d Y a c h t i n g . Now that the young summer is with us, the perennial sailor hat appears again on the promenades, the lawn tennis racket is taken down from the hook on which it has hung in winter obscurity, the alpenstock is knotted with fresh ribbons, the b a t i n g cap and stockings are laid out in readiness, the long doable canoe paddles arc excused from further service as portiere poles, the bright colored sun umbrella prepares to act as a beacon light in the matter of beach flirtations, and the sweet girl of the select 400, such of them as are not already off to Europe, button themselves into the nattiest of riding habits and spend their afternoons cantering through the long blossomy bridle paths of Central and Prospect parks or over the country roa.is, where the sunshine is filtered through the June leafage of oaks ami chestnuts, ami where the bobolinks are carroling joyously. Nearly all of the fair equestriennes,wear a few flowers fastened hi the .bodices .of their severe dark-habits—-a-clover head, a sprig of mountain laurel, a wild rose—and eae young girl with a velvet jockey cap has her corsage thrust full of buttercups and daisies. One by one er In pairs or groups they dash by in mounted procession, and the habit of No. 37 is as like the cut and finish to the habit of No. 2 as a couple of peas in a peaspod or two editions of the almond-eyed Chinese baby. One hundred riding habits of one hundred girls of fashion are in all essential particulars identical. Every seam, every fold, every hem is the same; every cross cut, every curve, every device to the exact number of buttons on the sleeve and the queer long coat tails shaped squarely behind. Even in color there is little variety. Sixty per cent, of the riders wear black and 80 per cent, of the remainder are habited in dark bin,'or green. A young girl In a claret habit and cup, who canters about with the zest of extreme youth, is brightly conspicuous, and a slrong,.handsome woman, whose eagfr. quivering horse tosses his silky mane and curves his glossy neck in impatience for a burst of sjK»ed, wears a light gray habit with braided front after the fashion worn by foreign ladies and affected by the Spanish donna in particular. One darkeyed woman rides very badly; she has never been away from her teacher's guidance in the tan bark'rink of the academy l>oforo. Her black habit turns back in rovers at the throat, from beneath which peeps a fold of an English "pink" handkerchief worn over the regulation linen bosom. The beautiful glowing face of a woman who sits as if she and her horse were one, rises above a bottle green habit, whose stand-up collar and bodice revers are cmbioidered with gold braid. Here a habit buttons up to the tin oat and fastens with a whip pin over a white linen collar, there a bodice turns back and away from a starched shiit front with small gold studs and a very mannish cravat in a very conventional tie. One sweet girl with a mass of fair curly hair in a soft Psyche knot under her stiffbrimmed hat pace* by in a double-breasted bodice with frock coat front and double row of buttons, always a becoming addition. A girl with moist red roses on, h e r ! breast shining like a star weais a boclk-e with roll collar and without basque, but shaped over the hips and with square-cut. corners. ^ ^ Some women wear the hlgh^Rnglish silk hats and others the ino«ryouthful jockey eafis cut from the^tfaterial of the costume. A sweeM»itfe"d girl pulls up by a hawthopwr" bush and begs her groom to restore le crop which has fallen from her hand. She has a handful of carnations under her chin and on her head a hat with sweeping plumes, a dashing Pi Vernon hat which the other riders frown on and which recalls the .«ilk and velvet skirts of past and gone riding regime. But if there is little diversity in the hue of the costumes there is less in their fitting. Always the cloth is of medium weight and fine but exquisitely firm fn texture. Always the skirt is scant and short, long enough to cover the stifrup toot well, longer appreciably than last year. Always, whatever the color or pattern, always the habit fits like a wet Long Branch bathing suit, i l ugiug to every Hue of the figure, smooth as the peel of an apple, close as the rider's own akin. Under the habit are worn long trousers which tuke placs of petticoats. Thc^e are made of the same cloth as the habit, and are set into a yoke of dark satin at the wakt. They are turned up with a hem at the bottom and finished in the seat with chamois skin. They aiv cut like men's trousers, except that a li'.ile fulluess Is allowed on the inside sta.n of the right leg where it goes over the pommel, Some of the riders no doubt are wearing trousers of elastic jersey webbing and some of those who take fences in the hunts on Long Island wear knee breeches of the knlckcrbocker pattern. All the best costumed of the riders have had their habits diaped on their own stddles. To insure the g atvl'ul fall of the skirts one V is taken out of the fore part over the kuee and one extending from the waist almost to the kuee; this relieves the lap of surplus stuff aud shapes the body part of the skirts easily. See that pink cheeked damsel bend in mock salutation till her yellow roses mingle with the horse's mane. She is riding without corset, as all the best tailors recommend this seasou. A shaped corded btuid is the new substitute which supports the loins; and there is far greater freedom of seat and action. Safet.t is greatly increased, if such a paltry matter is to be considered. Stout women continue to brace, themselves with corsets, but v.o great number of stout women ride. The stirrup strap has at last ousted the awkard and unwieldly bags of shot or lead with which the hem of the skirt has so long been weighted, and "which frequently irritated or frightened the horse. Some good riders wear buttoned gaiters of dark cloth, but boots are more correct, and the conventional riding boots are made of morocco and patent leather, two materials always, and reach to the knee. Some few women who are going on western vacations are having riding habits made on the .Tenness Miller divided skirt principles, for in the valley of the Yosemite and among the Colorado canyons women must use all the advantages which nature originally gave them and ride auricle or leave the chief glories of mile high precipes unseen. It is hard to turn from the trampling of hoots and the tossing of silky manes and the arching- of curved necks, but in June the bathers alwajs begin to demand attention. The bathing gown about as urgently as any iharacterin the country demands vindication. Allowing for exceptions, it is a much abused article of attire. An amateur photographer has an interesting Brighton Beach picture. Two young girls are emerging from the water and an indefinite number of men arc crowded close to the show nothing to alarm the fishes. The *kirts are short and girdled. Most of the modish suits have elbow sleeves and are matched by coquettish bathing caps of oiled silk or bright colored kerchiefs. BATHING OOWNS FOK 1SS9. Black stockings and sandals are preferred. A fair proportion of the suits are sleeveless and a new bathing corset is in the market. The fishing gown is something new. The pole and basket will be fashionable this summer. All the summer girls are devoting their energies to trouting gowns. A pretty example has a full grown front of fine yellow serge, tied at the waist by a girdle, and a redrngote of gray green in the same material—the only stuff that will honestly endure water. Anchors are embroidered ad libitum, and a sailor hat or helmet completes the costume. A picturesque yachting dress Is of silver gray surah with wide collar of blue turning away at the throat, blue cuffs and blue girdle, gray y arching cap with blue cord. Day by day the tennis gowns multiply. They are made this year with full skirts laid In accordion plaits or more rarely tucked. They have seldom any draperies, a ribbon, sash or girdle supplying all the finish necessary. Plaited skirt of scarlet surah and blouse of white surah, jockey cap of scarlet makes a bright costume which would be equally effective carried out in serge. Blue silk blouse, white silk kerchief and cults, whiter felt hat and f tucked shirt of white .flannel is another successful toilet. Pinkish gray serge accordion skirt is the'basis of a third trimly simple tennis gown. With it is worn a blouse of white crepe and a small pearl gray straw hat trimmed with folds of white crepe and pink carnations. Cool yellow with lettuce green sash and green stockings and hat is perhaps the most fashionable combination. ^ " " " FAPUTOS'S FOR R I P I N O . edge of the breakers to observe the spectacle. One girl's head is turned toward the. sea, the, other looks straight in front of her, and if a photograph recorded colors her cheeks would probably show crimson. As a rule the trouble is not with a garment which in these days of athletics when women learn swimming, can't, for safety's sake, afford much length or bulkiness of drapery, and which, when wet, can only be hindered by the cramping expedient of wearing corsets in the water from making some revelations as to figure. Occasional instances to the contrary notwithstanding, the bathing suit needs reform much less than do the beach loungers, whose conduct is making the most healthful of summer sports unfashionable among fastidious women. Tho bathing outfits thus far exhibited A R e m a r k a b l e M o t o r P l a n t . A novel application of electrical transmission is being made at the Nevada mill of the Comstock mines. A head of water of the height of 163() feet, after leaving a wheel is carried down the main shaft of the Chollar mine and delivered upon six wheels, which operate dynamos in a chamber excavated at the bottom of the shaft. The dynamos in turu operate motors in the mill above and a wonderful economy of power is attained. Rival t o t h e E l e c t r i c Light. The newest rival to the electric light is zirconia, the oxide of zirconium, a metal found in North Carolina. Over a bunsen burner is fitted a glass chimney, in which is suspended a hollow cotton wick saturated with zirconia in the form of a white powder. When the gas is turned on and a match is supplied, the wick is immediately consumed, but the znreonia remains as. a thin delicate snow white hollow column, which heats white hot and glows like an electric light and seems almost t3 last forever if it does not get broken.

With highly expansive engines, high pressure steam, steel boilers and steel framing, 20-horse poorer is developed for each ton of weight, including the water in the boilers. This is most extraordinary, and it requires no great stretch of the imagination to see such an engine sustaining itself in the air. E l e c t r i c a l C e n s u s M a c h i n e .

T h « S a b b a t h W a s M a d e f o r M a n d N o t M a n f o r t h o S a b b a t h . ~ The "civil Sabbath movement" is a fcenn applied to a widespread effort that is beiutf made to secure by legislative enactment a more strict observance of Sunday as a day of rest from all worldly or non-religious businea3. The laws of most of t h e states recojft; nize Sunday aud prohibit the carryir/g on upon that day o* many sorts of busi~ nesa. An effort is being made to secure from congress an entiro stoppage on Sunday of all national business, eueh. as the postal operations, the transportation of tho mails and the movement of interstate trains and all shipping. Since the constitution of ths Uuited Suites expressly forbids the enaction of any laws forcing religious o unees upon the people it is ob that the question of Sunday laws be confined wholly to their econodrft; and political relations. Sunday, which many persons coufuse, somo through ignorance and somo through policy, with the ancient Hebrew Sabbath, is a religious day with all sorts of Christians the world over. There is, however, no uniformity in the methods of its observance. With some denominations Sunday is a feast day, a season, of cheerfulness, of hospitality and rejoicing. W i t h others it is a day of penitence and gloom. There are matters, however, which the law cannot consider, I t cannot undertake to enforce uniformity in tho -religious observance of this day. I t can go no further than to protect each denomination in its' religious peculiarities. More than this the constitution declares shall not bo done. The consideration of Sunday by tha law-making power must be wholly confined to its civil uses. It has beon found desirable that working people may have periodically a day of rest in. which they can bo protected against the exactions of merciless and rapacious employers. If it were desired to ^ivQ them one day in each seven t h e sanctity attributed to Sunday could have no influence with t h e law-makers save that the choice of that day for a season of rest would meat the convenience of t h e entire body of Christian!. Sunday having been so Chosen, it only becomes necessary to inquire how far tho prohibition against tho ordinary business of daily life shall be carried. As for ourselves, wo do not desire to restrict Sunday rest in any reasonable way, but do not ltt anything be done in the promises to oppress the religious privileges of somo or to oromote the religious observances of others, or to force religious observances upon any ngainfet their will. Do tho people desire to have all the Sunday trains and steamboats and all the Sunday street cars stopped? Do they desire that post office and telegraph ollico shall be closed on Sunday? Do they desire that all pleasure gardens, pic-nic grounds and place oi amusement shall bo closed on Sunday? Let tho people decide this for themselves; but let it be distinctly demonstrated that such measures are taken to give tho people needed rost because the pooplo through their lawgivers demand it. There is much popular confusion concerning t h e Hebrew Sabbath which was celebrated on Saturday, tho seventh day of tho week, and tho Christian Sunday, which is observed on the first day of tho week. T h e great originator of the Christian religion declared that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath, and he demonstrated his meaning--'by divers acts which were considered in violation ol tho Sabbatli by the Jews. The flrBt day of the week, which wa3 hallowed by the resurrection of Christ, has ever since been observed as a day of rejoicing by many branches of Christians. It does not appear that Christ ever laid any injunction upon his followers tc amalgamate this day with the Sabbath of tho Jews; but on tho contrary, som« early Christians^adhering to the anci Hebrew usages observed both t h # enth and first days of t h e w'eefcfc I cording to their peculiar merits. But _ these remarks have nothing to do with t h e proposition to enact a national Sunday law. I t must rest wholly upon civil and secular considerations, and just what enactments are desirable and what would be burdensome a n d tyrannical will have to be considered, each in turn. We are in favor of giving tho p e o p l e the relief from hardship and o gion tho law can accomplish. ? None can have more r e v e r e n t regard for rollgion and piety than wo, and for this reason we desire ta see tho entire business of legislating on Sunday rest wholly disconnected » i t h religious questions.

I t ia proposed to erect in their stead well built houses, and to lay out fine broad streets that will let In the air and the sunshine to the inhabitants. Naples is the most thickly populated city in Europe, •and tho q u a r t s to be thua renovated contains now a population of 103,000 or (:00 to the acre. I t Is proposed to reduce this population just one-half. All the people Wow residing in theso slums have received »otice to quit, and when the Work hns been completed the new buildings will probably have au entirely new set of occupants. A new street, a mile and a half long and Bixly feet wide, twice the width of any existing street in Naples, is to oe run through the district now temporarily depopulated. Tho cost of this immeuse imorovement will be enormous and is to be bo'rne largely by the Italian government. The work to bo done involves tho destruction of H i old streets and the widening of V-7 others, tue total or partial destruction of 50 fondacie, or slums, and 5.7 isolated groups or houses. The payments, which will have to bo made to the owners of the houses to be torn down for their appraised value, will aloue amount to#18,750,- 000. Add to this t h e cost of tho work of demolition und of the new streets and squares to bo laid out, and it will be seen that this is the most expensive piece of house cleaning ever undertaken. Although the public inauguration of this great enterprise took place over a week before whon Kiuir Humbert and his son,the prince of Nuples, went from Rome to take part in the ceremonies attending it, t h e real work only bejran July 1, when nearly 1\!,000 laborers were sot to work tearing down the filthy old rookeries in the doomed quarter. This improvement, it is expected, will take four years to complete, but, when finished, it will make the city QUO of the most desirable, irom a sanitary point of view, in Europe, instead of what it now is, the worst. These improvements have been In contemplation ever since the great cholera epidemic of 1864, which sp thoroughly demonstrated their necessity, but it was not until two months ago that the Italian parliament passed a bill authoring the work. The Shah in England. The Shah of Persia, who is visiting the royal families of different European families arrived in London on the ~cl inst. T h e Wince of Wales and his sons received the eb.aU at (.Jravescnd and accompanied him up tho river to the Westminster 1'alaco stairs. T h e Princess of Wales and her daughters received the shah at Bucking ham palace. An immense crowd of people was irathcred on both sides of the river lor a distance of seven mile* as the launch containing the shah passed. The shah and the Prince of Wales had luncheon on board the launch before they landed. The shah was very affable. ^•Rsser-de-Doen,' Shah of Persia, is now sixty years old and has reigned iu Persia sinco'lMS. where his rule has been mudorute and popular, but the poor man is very much bot.hercd, owing to the geographical si.uatiou of his country between India and Russia, If he givrs any commercial advantages to one o< untr.y tho other immediately demands larger concessions.

During his last stay in England, in 1S3, he was rnterta- ined right royally.

An explosion of tiro damp occurred in a coal pit at St. Etierme to-day. Three hundred miners are entombed. A later dispatch says that 200 miners were killed by the explosion. Two pits were affected oy the explosion. One of these is iuqndated, the other is on tire* To:; of the miners who were taken out alive are so severely injured that they will probably die. Sixty horses employed ia the mine were burned to death. The news of the disaster spread quickly, aud the mouths of the pits were soon surrounded by crowds of relatives and friends of the imprisoned miners. Many heartrendiug scenes were witnessed when the bodies were brought to the surface. All "hifrve probably perished. A number of bodies have been taken from the mine. . Dervishes Killed.

A representative of this paper this morning found Mr. Williams at his work la the .ferTersoa Iron Works. He was at first rather adverse to saying anything about his good fortune, but finally said: "I had always understood that the Louisiana State Lottery was straight iu awarding pro.niums drawn, and two or three mouths ago I sent for a one tenth ticket. 1 was unsuccessful in capturing anything, but kept on until before the May drawing, when 1 sear two dollars and received a one-tenth ticket numoorod >?,$',?»;.

The books of the g o v e r n m e n t are "closed annually on J u n e 30, and this year the date was looked forward t o with unusual interest. The office seekers about the hotel corridors spoke •confidentialy of the chansres that would take place '-before J u l y 1, anyhow/1 Despite prediction to the contrary, t h e weighty day has come and ^rone, a n d t h e number of departmental changes were far less numerous than even at the close of the iirst fiscal year of Mr. Cleveland's administration. To say that, the otfice seeker is hot is to p u t it too mildly, he is wild, and he is not cheered by reading the long lists of new diplomats appointed. "Pie," t o t lie average office seeker, is to be found in appointment to offices in this country and he is not to be confuted by the appointment of some r;ealthy gentleman with his hair p a r t e l in the middle t o be envoy extraordinary and minister excruciatingly to the court of Yarboo'. The r e g u l a r office seeker sniffs at the other fellows appearance and snorts at his alleged republicanism. President Harrison, who has bad a pair of eye teeth cut, so far as the h u n g r y are concerned, anticipated the onslaught of J u n e 30, by quietly stealing away to Baltimore d u r i n g the morning hours with tfie ostensible purpose of bringing home Mrs. Harrison. The Agricultural department since it has been raised t o the dignity of having a representative in the cabinet is more than ever before the recipient of the attentions of cranky people everywhere, who imagine that the government could issue enough money to make all the people rich and t h a t the government that would stock fish ponds could not, logically, refuse to stock farms. The mail received by the Agricultural department contains daily a thousand odd requests. Everyone has heard of the Congressman, who d u r i n g the last session, received a letter from a blundering constituent reading, "please send me the Agricult u r a l department." And the Congressman was not a bit surprised, but said, t h a t he had often expected t h a t it vfould come to this; ho had been a.ked for the department in detail and now he was not astonished to be required to furnish the whole tiling. And this renitental erroTof this &u"c/<)l ic coTfesr pondent is out-distanced by the appeal of hundreds of people. A man near Mansfield, Ohio, modestly takes the cake. He writes, "I wish yon would send me at once, delivered to Mansfield a pair of horses, two mules, a yoke of oxen, three Alderney cows and a spring wagon and a .sulky plow. Also, some feed; I suppose there are other things you give, b u t I won't bother you now. 1 will see Senator Sherman when I go to town if he is home. He is a great friend of mine. During last election he told me that I could have everyt h i n g in the Agricultural department if I wanted it." The intelligent voter is a creature of curious mental construction, \ F r o m over the sea, come occasionally vague voices, with an idea t h a t the Agricultural department has general control of land and water. An inventor in-Bohemia writes that he is rn^ich distressed by the disaster in the Conem a u g h valley. Incidentally, he mentions that he has invented a means of preventing such floods, and t h a t he would sell i t t o the United States government for $300,000. To show his sincerity he adds that he wants no p a y m e n t until the utility of the system is fully shown and that if the governm e n t is inclined to act fairly be will sacrifice important interests and bring himself and his model to America for inspection, for $2,000. W h a t becomes of all the inquiries propounded t o the various departments? A half are never answered. To reply to all of them would require p much larger force than is at present • • p l o y e d . A large proportion of the Cranky correspondents wish certain laws construed, work that the various bureaus are slow to engage in when n o t necessary. Others ask for things that the village post-master could tell them were unobtainable. A man writes to the Pension bureau to ask "whether or not h e is entitled t o pension" on account of hi* nephew being killed in service. Another wants to know if bis crippled child as well as himself c m draw pension. The questions asked the I'atent Office by inventors and even lawyers unacquainted with the practice is bewildering. The clerk softly tucks such a letter into the middle of the papers in the case to which it refers and says nothing—except that he utters a few low muttered benedictions on t h e writer. The Navy department has decided that to change all the flags now in use on war ships for flags bearing fortytwo stars instead of those- having thirty-eight would be too expensive. So the b u n t i n g will on'y be changed as it wears .out. The appearance of the new flag is not noticeably different from the old. The law about the flag is very indefinite. It simply provides that it shall consist of thirteen alternate stripes of red and white, with a white star for every state on a blue tieid, for a union. " WHURE UYE COMES FROM.

U l A U i l 9 OF IRON." POLISH The sudden advance in the art oi dyeing has been due to the general cause'that has contributed so much to civilization during the last hundred *-*)ars. It has been due to the discoveries in chemistry. Through all the many centuries of history the world knew only of natural dyes, and down to the beginning of the present century, or rather till past the middle of this'eentury, it still busied itself with the discovery of new natural agents. It had found indigo, cochineal, logwood, madder, quercitron bark, sumach, Brazil wood, arid othevvegetable or wood dyes, and it is learned b j various means to be more'or less successful, by the use of chemicals iu a process technically known as mordanting, in making permanent the colors produced by these agents. But it had not learned"to distil color from the elements. It could reach only the boundaries of an empire that was not yet won. Finally, tiie chemist Unverdarben discovered aniline, a purely chemical agent, the distillation from coal-tar. This discovery opened the way for an industrial revolution which is perhaps even yet only in the infancy of its movement. This happened iu 182.3. But the utility of the discovery was not known until many years later. It was not until the year IHoH that the tint known as Perkins's purple, a product of aniline, followed soon afterward by aniline red, or magenta, became known. Then the revolution was fairly 'inaugurated, and since tiiis latter dale the advance, has been rapid. All that is most brilliant in color is credited to this new chemical agent. But the body of the art remains unas the wood dye» have more substance and permanency than the aniline dyes. Indigo still forms the basis for blue. The scarlet on the coats of the British soldiery, warranted not to run, is mainly produced from cochineal; madder is the basis for crimson red and turkey red, ami yellow is produced by fustic, quercitron barks or its concentrated extract called tlavine, and from Avignon or Persia!! berries. The mordants remain also,..-unchanged. jChiet among them is the oxide, of tin, called tin spirits by the trade. This tixes the scarlet colors founded upon cochineal; but alum i.s used as a mordant for crimson rod, and cherry red is produced with a tin mordant for ammonical cochineal. Turkey red is produced from madder on an aluminous basis. Thus ran the formula iu the old art of dying, and thus it ruus still. Aniline is rather a reinforcement than an independent agent. Prussian blue, however, is purely a chemical product, and us discovery anteuateu me discovery of aniline colors. But after the production of the simple or primary colors comes the prodution of the infinite variety of tints that go to make up the total used in the industrial arts. In this work the process of the dyer dilTers from the process of the painter rather in the means of execution than in the principles ou which he works. Does the dyer wish to produce, a green fabric? He may mix indigo (blue) with fustic or .quercitron bark (yellow), handling a t the same time the mordants in accordance with the teachings of the best experience, and the result will bo of the desired color. Does he want orange? The dyes that produce yellow and red will give him an orange fiber, and by the same process of combination h e may have purple, violet, mauve, gray, drab, black, or any one of M. ChevreuTs 15,000 chromatic tints. But he should be a man with a trained eye, and a person who is color-blind will hardly make a dyer.—New York Sun. One of the brightest and most earnest of the students at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville was formerly what is known as a "street fakir." He finds that his experience in lauding the virtues of patent medicines before street crowds has been of great help in developing his eratorioaJ powers of the pulpit. IS THE BEST.

Gleaned from the papers of this County aud surrounding country. Chelsea needs a lock-up, *o bays the Herald. The walls for the new court house have been commenced. The South Lyon Picket has adopted the "casb-in-advauce" system. There were 289 births and 147 deaths in Livingston county during 1888. • The teachers' normal clays began last Monday at the new ward school, building in Howell. A half interest of the Ann Arbor liegister has been sold to S. A. Morgan. Success to the new firm. Oscar W. Babcock, an old resident of Brighton, died at his home in that village on Monday of last week, a-ged 64 years. Miss Etta Smith, one of the teachers in the Howell schools, has gone to Lake Geneva, Wis., lo perfect her studies in music. During the month of June W . N . Snedicor of Howell, bought and shipped 49,876 dozen of eggs, or nearly live car loads. The Excelsior thinks that it would be a good idea for the citizens of South Lyon to purchase the idle pickle factory building and convert it into a cheese factory. Now that dog-days are coining what is to be done with the worthless dogs that throng our village streets?—Chelsea Herald, Use your shot gun on 'em. It is said that in a still night the wheat Louse can be heard at work. It makes a low hnlming noise. It can read the music better than the words. Instead of singing "In the Sweet Byand- by," it sings i-ln. this wheat now.1 The Livingston Democrat says: "Hamilton Smith, an inmate of the county house, was adjudged insane by the Probate court on Monday, and on Tuesday was taken to Pontiac asylum by Homer Galloway, keeper ef the county farm." Last Friday Will Devereaux and mother of Green Oak, started for Northville on a load of wool, and when on the base line their horses became frightened and ran away. Mrs. Devereaux and Will were both thrown from the wagon and badly bruised and the road was woolly for nearly a mile.— South Lyon Picket. T. R. Staley has upon his farm a natural curiosity. Growing upon hard land is a tamarack tree.about six inches in diameter. At the base of the tamarack is growing a thrifty young hickory about three inches in diameter, which clincrs to and winds around the tamarack after the manner of a grapevine. This freak'of nature has been christened "the fusion tree."—Livingston Democrat. One of the heaviest rains ever witnessed in this county fell in North Brighton last Thursday afternoon. leveling wheat to the ground and doing heavy damage to other crops. Although the rain lasted but a short time, the streams in that v;cinity were swollen to several times their natural size, flooding marshes and all low lands along their banks. Acres of spring crops were under water at a depth oi several inches—Brighton Citizen. "Old Grimes is dead" has been sung so often that everybody has come to believe that Grimes had really parsed away from this scene of political excitement and sought a brighter world where postofnees are unknown. But the legend is now authoritively denied. The song is a lie, Grimes is not dead although his competitors for tho postoffice may wish he was. Andrew D. Grimes has been recommended as postmaster 'of Stockbridge.—Ann Arbor Argus. It has been reported in some of the papers in this county that R. C. Reed of Oceola, has resigned the secretaryship of the County Union Sunday School Association, but such is not a fact We are happy to say. A better or more able man for the position could not be found. Clark's eyes have improved so much of late tfcat be feels he can continue the Work uninterrupted in the future. His friends will hope so at least.—-Livingston Republican- Early one morning about two weeks ago, a negro came through Bright* n and took breakfast at a farm house just out of town. He claimed that he had walked from Detroit during the nijiht, and Rave for reasons, that he had had a fight with a man on the evening betore and did not know whether he bad killed him or cot, but hadleft there to escape arrest. Sheriff AlcCabe was in town last week and found that this man answered to the description of the negro who killed a man in Windsor by hitting himon the head with a neck-yoke, at about that time. A reward of $200 is now out for his arrest.--Brighton Citizen. Mr. Norman Boyd died suddenly at his residence, in Cohbctah, early Wednesday morning, of heart disease, aged 63 years. He did his usual araouDt of work on Tuesday and sat with the family until about nine o'clock in the evening when be complained of feeling faint. He removed his shoes and lay down saying he was sleepy. About one o'clock it was thought that he was sleeping too long and an attempt was made to arouse him, but it proved inefectuai. A physician was immediately sent for but death reached the house before him and his services were of no avail. Sir. Boyd settled in Cohoctab about 50 years ago and has been a continual resident since that time. He was an honorable, upright man and commanded the respects of his neighbors.— Fowlerville Review. The grain aphis, or louse, was Undoubtedly imported from Europe. Of late years it has become quite numerous in the New England states, Pennsylvania, New York and some of the western states, w h e e it has done great damage to the wheat crop. They are all females, no males being required and this fact is vouched for by toe best experts. Some have wings and some have not, the latter being the most prolific, it being estimated that they produce four young per day, and these becoming equally prolific in three days the total produced by the family in 20 days will be 20,000,000. No remedy has yet keen found to prevent the destruction of these pests. They are provided with sharp pointed bills with winch they pierce the leaves and stalks and suck the juice of the grain.

Great mistakes have been made in the world, by supposing many nervous troubles were due to bad blood. Thus headache, tits, dizziness, sleeplessness, etc. are always due to weakness or irritation of the nerves of the brain, dyspepsia, pain, wind, etc, to weakness of the nerves of the stomach; weak lungs is caused by weakness of the parts; biliousness, constipation, etc. to weakness of the nerves of the liver of bowels; pains, irregularity, sterility, to derangement of the uterine nerves.

A BRIEF SORROW, " # # * • CHAPTER 1. SAY, Faith, if that's going on, you'll have to look out for another situation ;as housekeeper, I'm thinking.1 1 "So you have t«ld ma before now,11 replied Faith Freke, with a smile, looking in* the direction indicated— down a gravel-path to the r i g h t of the old gray-stone porch under which she Btood with her companion, whore a lady in a dark gray \civet walking dress was pacing slowly with tho Vicar of Westcott at h e r side, both seeming too engrossed in conversation to think of the sharp eyes of t h e boy and girl they had left at the door. "Well, don't you agree with me?'1 "There's no saying for certain, of course; but, even if it did come to pass, uncle Aylnier would not want to get rid of me on that account—nor, I feel sure, would she." "Oh, no! but I should think you would'n care to stop and play gooseberry! I should think you would r a t h e r come and be my housekeeper!" Faith Freke smiled -again, flushing through her clear dark skin. Tom Berkeley htvl more t h a n once told her laughingly t h a t if ever hor u n d o got married she would have to become Mrs. Berkeley, She was the Vicar's niece, and had kept house for him ever since she came to 'the vicarage on the death of her widowed mother, four years since, when she was a quiet shy child of thirteen, old in mind and manner through the early responsibility that had been thrust upon her during her mother's lingering illness, yet childish in appearance. Tom Berkeley of Wcscott Manor was Faith's senior by one year—a tall, slight and singularly handsome boy of eighteen, woo, from the lirst appearance of the .little maid, had been her friend and .champion, in spite of his careless idle.life and the bad character lie bore in the neighborhood. '•Well, 1 wonder how long they are going to be?"1 -he- said, wheeling round again to look at the two nowdistant figures. ^-Should you think he's proposing to her. Faith? lie looks in earnest, doesn't h e ? " "You had belter ask her whon she come back,'1 replied Faith, laughing. " A r e yon going to the S.ephensons' on Friday, Tom?'1 The boy made a grimace. "Guess not. I'm not cut out for that sort of thing.'' "Oh, you a 1«—as much as any one!"—with a quick glance at his handsome, delicate, yet spirited fa.e. "Only you never no anywhere." "And you.think I want licking into shape, e h ? " "T think it would do you good to mix with your neighbors sometimes, like other peoplr." Faith admitted frankly. "And this isn't a ball or anything of importance—only just a little dance because the Stevensons have ft friend from London slaying with them and want to amuse her. You might just as u\ell come. ' "If I did, would vou dance with me?" "Of course—;if you asked m e . " " I shouldn't ask anybody else—I Apn't like si range young ladies; and thflj wouldn't like like me, I'm s u r e " V.««But they won't be s t r a n g e r s : they *•'" Will all be old friends, except the Stepbensons' visitor." "They'll all look at me out of tho soraers.of their eyes!" "Oh, ,no, they wouldn't! They would lie very pleased to see you." "They'd think 1 was g"oing to turn over a new leaf." "Well, that would be a very good thing to think.!'1 '•Now, Faith, don't you begin! I -.. •''.'•-Jftt enough from other folks." ^ . " I ' m sure I don't want to p r e a c h , \ j J R i m ; hut I cannot bear to neo you I*- twisting your time when you nw.ght be ^ioing so much.." •"Nonsense! It will be all r i g h t -when W a r i n g conies home from Africa and helps me to get a commission. I shall have enough to do then." "But that is all go uncertain.

" " ? • « * ; but if you " But seeing tfcfcekmd of impatience that begun to f»ather on his brow, she checked herself, and said simply, " I hope you may, some day." "All of them hero think t h a t I am in a hopeless slough of idleness and wickedness,'" he went on; " b u t w h a t better ambition could I have than t h a t of following in tho stops of my forefathers, and making the old name, which is forgotten by the world now, famous Again?" "But, dear Tom, you are hardly going the way to fulfill t h a t ambition,"' Faith ventured to say. "Fiddles.icks! i o u ' r o only a girl, Faith, and you don't understand, I'm not pretending to do anything now. I'm just enjoying myself, and t a k i n g things easy before I go to work." Faith could have said a good deal more; but she knew Ton: could not stand much even from her, so she refrained. » "Well, will you come on Friday?'1 she questioned as tho Vicar and Mary Tregelles drew near. "Perhaps—I'll see. But you won't like dancing with me—I h a v e n ' t danced since 1 don't know when, and I •dare say I have forgotten all about -it." "Oh, yes, I shall!" declared Faith, •with a calm confidence and perfect truth. "Well, 'I will tell them at the sewing school of your kind offer," said the Vicar, in clear distinct tones, as he and his companion came up to the porch; "and 1 am sure there are many who will be glad to take advantage of it." Tom nudged Faith—an expressive nudge, conveying a vast amount of scornful incredulity as to the mothers* sewing school having formed the only, or even the chief subject of the tete-ateto in the faint autumn sunshine. The boy and girl glanced at the pair with keen eyes that, were quick to note the great golden chrysanthemums in Miss Tregelles' delicately-gloved hand, which had been plucked and given to her in the course of the stroll down the gravel path. The Vicar was a tall man of about forty—not what would be called handsome, but very aristocratic in appearance, with close cropped brown hair showing a little under his clerical hat, and a short thick, "wellgroomed" brown beard and moustache. lie had a hirge aquline nose, which Tom had made Ihe joke of the village. He had a long striding step, and his head was thrown back with an unconscious hauteur, which, together with his somewhat r e s e r v e l manner, had gained him the epithet of " p r o u d " among those who did not know him well. But his personal friends and near neighbors and the poor in his parish united in telling a different talc. Mary Tregelles was under the surface of which so agreebly her uncle hold; 'and pie would have said. The subject of h e r eulogium quite justified it. Tom Berkeley was at all time* a r e m a r k - ably handsome ladi but now, in evening dress, with his light brown h a i r brushed smooth and tho bright gaslight enhancing every charm of his delicate fascinating face, he attracted every eye. Ho wa^ tall, lithe and active, and had delicate teatures, an exquisite y clear skin that would have made the fortune of a London professional beauty, and large, brilliant blue eyes with black eyebrows and long black lashes. Faith Freke might well be proud of her partner for the dance. She was no beauty herself—only an insignificant little girl in a w h i t i muslin dress, with snub features and a pair of round checks into which t h e heat or the excitement had brought a very pretty glow t h a t night. When the polka was over, Mrs. Stephenson, a portiy widow-lady with three daughters to marry, came bustling up with a very different expression on her face from t h a t with which she had greeted Tom on his entrance. She was fresh, in fact, from a conversation in which she had been taking a part on tho other side of the room. " W h a t a handsome boy!" her visitor had said to her, as she sat between two ot the daughters of the house. She A Day in a Russian Prison. From George Ken nan's illustrated article in t h e J u n e Century on 4 ' T h e Convict Mines of Kara," we quote the following: "Hard-labor convict* at Kara receive a daily ration consisting of t h r e e pounds of back rye-bread; about four ounces of meat, including the bone; a small quantity of barley, which is generally put into the water in which the meat is boiled for the purpose of making soup; and a little brick tea. Occasionally they have potatoes or a1 few leaves of cabbage; but such luxuries are bought with money made by extra work, or saved by petty 'economies' in other ways. This ration seemed to mo ample in quantity, but lacking in variety and very deficient in vegetables. The bread, which I tasted, was perhaps as good as t h a t eaten by Russian pea-jants generally, but it was very moist and sticky, and pieces taken from the { center of the loaf opuld be rolled back into dough in one's hands. The meat, which I saw weighed out to the cjnvicts after it had been boiled and cut up into pieces about as large as dice, did not have an inviting appearance, and suggested to mv mind small refuse had only just come down from her i scrap* intended for use as soap-grease, room, a n d saw Tom go by with Faith The daily meals of the convicts were i r e k e , arranged as follows: in the morning, "Oh, yes—Tom is handsome!" said a f t e r the roll-call, or 'verification,' Louisa, the eldest of " t h e three breakfast, consisting of brick t?a and reserved too cheerfulness brightened Berkeley's housetho.- e two, who seemed so friendly now, had held shyly aloof for some time after her coming, just twelve months since, to live at the manor during the ab.-ence of her brother, Lieutenant Tregelles, at the seat of the war in Zululand. She was a beautiful, calm, mild-tempered woman, with dark, wavy hair, soft eyes and a fair, pure complexion, and, having, independent means of her own, besides her attractions of beauty and disposition, :die had not reached the age of twenty-eight without having received n v r e than one offer of m a r r i a g e from rash young men who could not or would not M'C that her gentleness only veiled indifference. So far, Mary Tragelies had remained fancy free. "Now I must say good-bye until this evening," she said, including them all in her pleasant smile as she paused in front of the old stone porch. " W h y , what's up this eveu.ing?" enquired Tom. "Nothing for you, doar—only the women's annual tea in the schoolroom. Faith and Agnes and I are going to h e l p . " "Faith.-have you the book ready for Miss Tregelles?1 asked the Vicar, and Faith handed him the volume she had been holding, "You will allow me t.> accompany you?" h e said to Mary as he handed the book to her. ;*I have to go past the m a u a r gates. Tom o&nde another grimace at Faith expressive of disgust at his position of "daisy-picker" during the walk home; and Faith laughed and was still smiling when Miss Tregelles turned round to remind her to be down at the schools in good time. * * * * * * "Well, here 1 am, you see, F a i t h ! " "Yes—I am so glad'."' "More than Mrs. Stephenson is, then! She looked quite scared. People will begin to be careful how they include me in their invitations just for politeness' sake after this!" "Nonsense, Tom! They are only surprised to see vou because vou never go anywhere. How nice you look!" Faith Freke glanced at him critically and admiringly—fondly, some peo- 0 r a c e s , " as Tom had mockingly dubbed the Stephenson girls. She objected to being called by her baptismal name, or even to having it abbreviated to Louie or Loo—nothing less than " L o u i s e " met her approval. "But he is so shockingly wild!" she added. "Interesting!" returned her friend, her eyes lighting up. "Very—when he appears one day with his a r m in a sling, after a night's poaching and a scuffle with the 'gamekeepers, and the next with two black eyes and " "'What a shame to spoil such beautiful eyes." " I ' G S ; Tom isn't often so.presentable as he is this evening. He has got such a temper, in addition to his other c h a r m s , " observed Fhylis, the second Miss Stephenson, a little wider awake than her elder sister, " t h a t , not being able to bear the slightest contradiction, he is always getting involved in quarrels with the disreputable companions with whom he spends nearly all his time—he knocks their teeth down their throats for half a word, and gets a black eyg or a broken head in e x c h a n g e . " "Oh. now I am charmed! I do so admire a racket! Mrs. Stephenson," —turning to her hostess with clasped hands and an ingenuous air of eagerness— "you really must introduce him to me! Now do, to please me!" "Oh, certainly, my dear." returned the plump, placid-looking widow, who however, under her calm .exterior kept a very shrewd and sharp lookout for possibilities of settling her three not very attractive daughters, and was quite willing that Louise's friend, who had come upon the scene at a r a t h e r inopportune moment with her London toilcne"STOTc^"CT~TTC"r5onirr charms, should amuse herself with poor, idle, handsome Tom Berkeley r a t h e r than unsettle the minds of any of the few eligible men in the neighborhood, particularly that of Mr. Bowland, a young widower, who had been induced finally to settle his heart upon her eldest—the fair Louisa. "Tom might be worse,"—indulgently. " M r s . Berkeley is not his own mother, and he meets with no sympathy at home, which is «o bad for a young man you know; and his cousin, Mary Tregelles, who has lived with t h e n the past year and has reached an age when she might exercise a wholesome motherly intluenee over him, seems to think of black rye-bread, was served to the prisoners in their cells. The working parties then set out on foot for the gold placers, carrying with them bread and tea for lunch. This midday meal was e.iten in the open air beside a camp-fire, regardless of weather, and sometimes in fierce winter storms. Late in the afternoon the convicts returned o n ' foot to their cells and ate on their sleeping-platforms the first h e a r t y and nourishing meal of the day, consisting of hot soup, meat, bread, and perhaps a little more brick .tea. After the evening verification they were locked up for the night, and lay down to sleep in closely packed rows on the 'nares,' or sleeping-benches, without removing their clothing, and without making any preparations for the night, beyond bringing in the 'parahas,' or e x - crement buckets, spreading down their thin patchwork crazy-quilts, and rolling up some of their spare clothing to put under their heads. T h e clothing furnished to a hard-labor convict at Kara consists—or should, by law, consist— of one course linen shirt and one pair of linen .trousers, and one gray overcoat every year; a 'polushuba' (pol-oo-shoo-ba), or outer coat of sheepskin, every two years; one pair of 'broduias' (brode nee-yas), or loose leather boots, every three and a half mouths in winter; and on3 p:iir of 'kati' (kot-toe), or low shoes, every twenty-two days in. summer. The quality of the food and clothing furnished by the government may be inferred from the fact that the cost of maintaining a hard-labor convict at the mines is about $.">0 for a year, a -Httlo l o ^ than^aurlexm_£ents a day." Great Sport in Idaho. "Outside of hunting for grizzly or polar bears or buffaloes, when you have lots of them to kill, there is no more exhilarting sport now to be had than going after wild sheep and g o a t s , " said William Kennedy, of Leesb u r g , Idaho. " T h e heights of the Bitter R o o t Mountains are covered with snow, and there are plenty of big horn and white wild goats up there. Every winter we go up there and have a hunt. It is no trouble to get this kind of game, especial I v the goats. The nothing but running after the Vicar; j M T h o r . n l l r 0 a l i l t I e harder.to get and so the poor lad is left to go on unchecked in his wild ways." And then Mrs. Stephenson, having done what s h t could to arouse interest in and sympathy for the "detrim e n t a l . " went to fetch him. leaving her gvuvt pressing her lips together to hide the smile that would force its wav as she looked over at Mary Tregelles. The widow's jealousy was very palpable. TO BE CONTINfED. Wisdom From a Child. In Stamford. Conn., two children attended service at the church of which Her. Mr. Vail is pastor. Mr. Vail repeated the words: " T h e r e is nowhere, no place, that Cod is not," In an audible whisper Pauline said to h e r brother: " H e don't know about it, does he? But I'll tell him after c h u r c h , " J u s t as the preacher descended the pulpit steps a breathless little figure caught hold of him and said, pantingly: "You don't know about God, Mr. Vail, and I must tell you. He isn't everywhere like you think he is, 'cause the Bible says: •God is not in the thoughts of tho wicked.1 That's why he doesn't always get into my, but I am going to try to be good this week, so He'll come." And as Mr. Vail took the bright-eyed little one into his arms she added naively: "You don't know everything, do you, Mr. Vail?"—Kingston Freemam. require more skill. These are the things vou read about in vour early school books, that, like the chamois, leap from lofty heights and light on their heads, not damaged in the least, by reason of the great horns which they have. These mountain sheep weigh from 300 to Mod pounds each. They are strong, stalwart fellows, and well muscled, and their necks, though long, are carried well up over their forelegs, so that the perpendicular from their ponderous horns is well preserved. The horns themselves, with the head, weigh from fifty to seventy-five pounds. The female is smaller than the male and has the smaller horns, resembling those of the goat. This is the animal kuown by naturalists as the ovis mon tana, and it is only found in the Bitter Boot Mountains, in Boarhead county, Mont., and in the same range of mountains over in Idaho. Last winter I s h o t and killed ten of these big horns and already this fall I killed seven. They are splendid eating, tasting something tike venison. We ascend the Black Fork of the Salmon river, and it is right on tho very top of the mountains that vou find tho big horn and the mountain goats most numerous. The goat is tho aploccros montaans of zoology. It has jet black, polished, slender horns, much liko the chamois, and is clothed with long white hair. It h a s also a tolerably long bushy white tail and beard. These goats are exceedingly active, and if they see the hunter b e t o ^ J w sees them they will elude hinajTijlm It is pretty nearly impossible m f e c ^ t l M f n . Being white, they are h a r d ^ l p qpt in the snow, and the only way t a ^ * * to keep a watch out for their horns. They roam in bands of from ten to twenty, while not often more than three of the sheep are found together. T h e g o a t meat is very much like mutton. I am an old resident of Leesburg, which is just up from the Gibbon Valley. For years past whenever the snow gets very deep in the Bitter Root mountains, the big horn sheep and goats come down to feed. It is at such times t h a t we made our biggest hauls. Going after them in the mountains one is obliged to wearsnowshoes. We usually take two kinds—the web foot ones in going up and the Norwegian, or long ruuner shoes, in coming down. The only way to kill this kind of g a m e is to watch your chance. Hounds are of no avail. You can't bring anything to your assistance, but must depend alone on your own individual skill. "A light step, keen eye and as good long range rifle as can be had are tho essentials. I went hunting for goats and sheep the last of October Far up on a crag on the side of old Mount Williams I saw what appeared to be a little speck, covered by two straight, short lines of black. I knew it was a goat, but he was so far away on his dizzy eyrie in the sky that I was afraid I would miss him. I had a magnificent 38 caliber Henry rifle, however, and I took as careful aim as possible. Tb'i two dark lines, followed by a fleecy body which showed against a blue cloud, turned a double somersalt, it seemed, fifty feet out from the crag, and shot down into the gorge, almost one thousand feet below. I had a. Wearisome trip getting down into the deep canyon. I had t o , d o d g e fallen trees and rocks and avoid deep ravines*, but, finally, I got there, and ho was as dead as a mackerel. I had made a center shot, and taken him through the heart. I got four goats that trip, all of them very fine ones. John Kincald and Torn Wilson, of Salmon City, who were with me, also got tiva or six goats and throe mountain sheep. We could not begin to pack the meat down, of course, so we merely took the h a m s and other choice parts, beside tho skins. Both tho big horn and goat skins make very fine robes. They are used in that part of Idaho a great deal. Spread on the floor they make a room excedingly warm and comfortable. A number of English sportsmen have come in over t h e Northern Pacific and spent a good deal of time in the Bitter Boot Mountains during the past two or three winters. They have Killed a great deal of game, but there is plenty of it there y e t Tho biggest wild animal there, is tho elk. The elk we have up'there are JIS big -- as OXJCJL Askio from those in the Saskatchewan country, they have no peers'" on the continent. As to small, game, like timber wolves, coyotes, foxes, beaver and sable, the mountain regious of Idaho are pretty well filled. The country is not settling up fast enough in such localities as to make the game timid. There are many men in the Bitter Root and Sawtooth Mountains who make hunting and trapping a business, and they make good money out of i t They m a r k e t their meat and skins at ILiliey and Ketchum principally, but spend most of tho winter in the wild regions of the mountains, where they have crcciod cabins, and are well situated for a long campaigning."— San Francisco Examiner.

The Michigan Press Association at Grand Rapids elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Perry F. Powers, Cadillac; Vice, C. T.

On Tuesday evening of last week while a number of y o u n g men were in bathing in the river at Hudson, one of the number, whose n a m e is Fred Doddigan, was drowned. He has been employed by Mr. S. Taylor for a number of years, and bore an excellent reputation. The remains were taken to his home at Ann Arbor, where they were buried. Rev. J. M. Gelston performed the ceremony at the marriage of John Turner, of Webster, and Miss E d n a Stephens of Dexter, at the residence of the bride's parents, last F r i d a y . - - A n n Arbor Register. The bride was a former resident of this village and her many friends will join with the DISPATCH in extending congratulations to the newly wedded couple. Dr. H . F. Sigler of Pinckney. Mich., returned home last Monday after nearly two weeks' visit with Banker Ed. T. Kearney, at this place. Dr. Sigler is an esteemed, old home acquaintance of Mr. Kearney, the latter having been in his employ before coming west. The visit from his old-time friend was much appreciated by Mr. Kearney.— The Jackson (Dak.) Criterion. The following from the Livingston Herald speaks well of the new firm: " W a l t e r Barnard and Bert Campbell haye bought the Mann Bros, stock ^ general merchandise at Pinckney and will take possession in about a month. It would be difficult to unite two better young rr.e,n in one firm t h a n these two and the Herald congratulates Pinckney people on their location there." It has been truly said that advertising as a means of prosperity, is not, understood as it should be. Nothing can take its place. It is a rfact that one who has advertised 1 ibexajly___arul systematically has felt like disputing that it was the best money he put into business. As a horse was never made fat by a single bushel of oats, so a single advertisement is never a perfect test of the benefits of advertising. The man with genuine wares to sell who advertises them in the right way without success would be a curiosity. "While Dr. H . F. Sigler was returning frojn,a visit with Dakota and Iowa friends.Tast week, the train that he was on collided with another, killing the fireman and severely injuring the engineer. Although the Dr. escaped injury the car t h a t he was in was thrown down an imbankment and he was pinned under a seat so that he was obliged to call for aid to be extricated. It was a very lucky accident for him. The Shepherd News speaks as follows of one of our former citizens: " J . J . Murphy left Tuesday morning for Big Rapids, where he went in the interest of Belford, Clark it Co., of Chicago, having accepted a n agency for this state from t h a t firm. Joe has a good thing, and knows how to take caro of it. His firm owns one of the largest publishing housos in the country, and his work will consist in establishing county agencies t h r o u g h o u t the state," The local option bill which passed the senate and becomes a law cannot take effect until 00 days after the session ends. The bill places on the county supervisors the authority to call a special option election after receiving a petition to that effect from one fifth of the qualified voters of the county. If a special election results in favor of prohibition the supervisors aru given power to prevent the sale of liquor in tiie county by the adoption of a resolution in t h a t etl'ect, but are under no compulsion to adopt such a resolution. Mann Bros., who have been in the general merchandise business in this place for a number of years, and haVe gained a large patronage, have sold their stock of goods to Messrs. Walter Barnard of Howell, and W. B. Campbell of Detroit, who will form a partnership and continue the business. While we regret to lose the firm of Macn Bros., we welcome t a e new firm to our lively little village. Both members of the new firm are so well •known throughout this county t h a t no recommendation is needed. They will take possess'on about August first. Success to the new firm. Rev. C. B. Case of Unadilla, has made arrangements to hold a "grov.e meeting" near J o s h n Lake in Lyndon, J u l v 2G, 27 and 28. H e will be assisted by many ministers from abroad, among them will be Rev. Joslin, o u r Presiding Eider, a n d Bro. Knapp of Albion, who will bring with him charts, with which he will explain how easy it is to get from k-Egypt into Canaan." And say, friends, there is to be someone else there. The Lord • has promised to come and bring a special blessing for everyone who is willing to receive it. Come over Pinckney people and enjoy these meetings with us. **-*,• In giving an account of the Fourth, of July celebration at Jackson, Dakota, the Criterion speaks as follows of one of Pinckney's former citizens, Mr, Ed. T. Kearney : ;*At the appointed hour, and after all had partaken of their basket dinners or feasted at t h e well-laden tables, Prof. Jos. A. Hall, the orator of the day, delivered his address. His remarks were made in a clear, loud and impressive manner a n d were highly appreciated. Following . Mr. Hall, Banker Ed. T. Kearney took the stand and a t considerable l e n g t h discoursed on th3 '"Advantages c*f Oar Country Over Others." It was the jommon remark that Mr. Kearney's address, so far as thought, research and logical statements are concerned, was one of the ablest efforts ever made by any individual at any time in this section. While Mr. Kearney has no pretentions as a n orator, he convinced ail who heard him. on this oceusion that ho was a speaker of great -merit and vast depth, surpassed perhaps by none and equalled by few in this part of the state.

The bride was a former resident of this village and her many friends will join with the DISPATCH in extending congratulations to the newly wedded couple. Dr. H.-F. Sigler of Pinckney. Mich., returned home last Monday after nearly two weeks' visit with Banker Ed. T. Kearney, at this place. Dr. Sigler is an esteemed, old home acquaintance of Mr. Kearney, the latter having been in his employ before coming west. The visit from his old-time friend was much appreciated by Mr. Kearney.— The Jackson (Dak.) Criterion. The following from the Livingston Herald speaks well of the new firm: "Walter Barnard and Bert Campbell haye bought tbe Mann Bros, stock of general merchandise at Pinckney and will take possession in about a month. It would be difficult to unite tfto better young msn in one firm than these two and the Herald congratulates Pinckney people on their location there." It has been truly said that advertising as a means of prosperity, is not, .aritxLQd_aiJ±-j^auid^.bfii_.^Huiig. can take its place. It is a fact that one who lias advertised liberally and systematically has felt like disputing that it was the best money he put into business. As a horse was never made fat by a single bushel of oats, so a single advertisement is never a perfect test of the benefits- of advertising. The man with genuine wares to sell who advertises them in the right way without success would be a curiosity. While Dr. H. F. Sigler was returning from a visit with Dakota and Iowa friends, last week, the train that he was on collided with another, killing the fireman and severely injuring the engireer. Although the Dr. escaped injury the car that he was in was thrown down an imbankment and he was pinned under a seat so that he was obliged to call for aid to be extricated. It was a very lucky accident for him. The Shepherd News speaks as follows of one of our former citizens: "J. J. Murphy left Tuesday morning for Big Rapids, where he went in the interest of Belford, Clark & Co., of Chicago, having accepted an agency for this! state from that firm, Joe has a good I thing, and knows how to take care of it. His firm owns one of the larg«st publishing houses in the country, and his work will consist in establishing county agencies throughout the state," The local option bill which passed the senate and becomes a law cannot take effect until 90 days after the ses-1 sion ends. The bill places on the' county supervisors the authority to call a special option election after receiying a petition to that effect from one fifth of the qualified voters of the county. If a special election results in favor of prohibition the supervisors ara given power to prevent the sale of hepuor in the county by the adoption of a resolution in that effect, but are under no compulsion to adopt such a resolution. Mann Bros,, who have been in the general merchandise business in this place for a number of years, and have gained a large patronage, have seld their stock of goods to Messrs. Walter Barnard of Howell, and VV. B. Campbell of Detroit, who will form a partnership and continue the business. While we regret to lose the firm of Mann Bros., we welcome the new firm to our lively little village. Both members of the new firm are so well "known throughout this county that no recommendation is needed. They will take possession about August first. Success to the new firm. Rev. C. B. Case of Unadilla, has made arrangements to hold a "grov.e meeting" near Joslm Lake in Lyndon, Julv 26, 27 and 2S. He will be assisted by many ministers from abroad, among them will be Rev. Joslin, our Presiding Elder, and Bro, Knapp of Albion, who will bring with him charts, with which he will explain how easy it is to get from "Egypt into Canaan." And say, friends, there is to be someone else there. The Lord has promised to come and bring a special blessing for everyone who is willing to receive it. Come over Pinckney people and enjoy these meetings with us, %•*... In giving an account of the Fourth of July celebration at Jackson, • Dakota, the Criterion speaks as follows of one of Pinckney's former citizens, Mr. Ed. T. Kearney: u At the appointed hour, and after all had partaken of their basket dinners or feasted at the well-laden tables, Prof. Jos. A. Hall, the orator of the day, delivered his address. His remarks were made in & clear, loud and impressive manner and were highly appreciated. Following Mr. Hall, Banker Ed. T. Kearney took the stand and at considerable length discoursed on this ''Advantages of Oar Count.iy Over Others." It was the common remark that Mr. Kearney's address, so far as thought, research and logical statements are concerned, was one of the ablest efforts ever made by any individual at any time in this section. While Mr. Kearney has no pretentions as an orator, he convinced;til who heard him on this occasion that ho was a speaker of great merit and vast depth, sur- "parsed i^FtTTpT by•"Trnmr-aird--e^ualled by few in this part of the state. Hf» held the vast assemblage spell-bound and was frequently applauded.11 Sunday School Convention. A township Sunday school Kjonvention will be held in the M.

Prince Albert Victor, the, eldest son of tho Prince and Princess of Wales, who is going to be married to his cousin, Princess Victoria of Prussia, was born in J a n u a r y 1804, and is therefore two years older than his bride. While not exactly brilliant, still he is exceedingly painstaking', methodical mid conscientious. His education has been very thorough. When a boy of fifteen he was cnterod, together with his brother Prince George, as a naval cadet on board tho H. M. S., Brittania and made the vovage around the world in the Baehantc, when he also visited Australia, l i e then spent two years at Cambridge. where he followed tho usual university course. Four years ago he entered the army, becoming a lieutenant in tho Tenth Hussars, a regiment in which he is now a major. He has been quartered most of the time at York and has attended most assiduously to his military duties, only coming to London when court festivals required his presence.

Maud got down out of the tree and approached Uncle Zephe, with tears In her eyes, "Mr, Six-Fingered Pete," she said, in a trembling voice, "you've saved my life. Oh! take irw away from Oklahoma!" "Lord love ye, gal," ho said. "What's got Inter ye? My name aint Pete, and I don't know no Oklahoma, but if you want to get out of here I'll hitch up the old mare and take y*m over to the Four Corners," At tliia point I succeeded in getting Uncle Zephe out #f the conversation, my wife had been too agitated to fully appreciate the meaning of Ins words, so that in spite of his rural simplicity and guileless conversation on the way to the Four Corners, she still believes that she passed a day in Oklahoma and was rescued from death by Six Fingered Pete, the terror of the Cherokees. MARK T W A I N ASPHYXIATED. Aihd tho sooner the better. v / In this country thero is no problem of poverty, in the sense in which the torm is commonly employed. There is no poverty of the hopeless, helpless sort, that can be sol down lo the account of false and unfair social or industrial conditions. It is the poverty that actually su'l'ers, tho poverty of those who l a - k food for their stomachs aud raiment for. their backs. T h a t kind of poverty exists among us without doubt or question, but it exists, not because of anything amiss in tho conatitu'iou—of- -seeie-ty,—but by and I resolved to do something right away that would mike Oklahoma unpopular in, our family. At this momenfc 1 caught sight of Uncle Zephe's boy Jim peering round thu corner of a tree. Maud did not see him. I excused myself on tho ground that I was going out to buy a yoke of oxen and intercepted Jim, with whom I put up a job against Maud's peace of mind. We agreed that he should comj down in the afternoon as an Indian, with a horse blanket, war paiiit anil a carving knife, and if necessary scalp Claude and create any other disturbance calculated to harrow up my wife's feelings. When I went back to tho hut Maud was getting ready for dinner. She had discovered a couple of dozen of eggs in the corner, which Uncle Zephe had thoughtfully left for us.

In nearly all cases it is the d.roct result of drunkenness, incurable indolence and unthrift. In a small portion of eases it results from accident, from prolonged illness or other such cause beyond the control of the sufferers, and in those cases relief is rightly asked from society. But society's provision for relief is ample, and moro than ample, to meet every demand of that character, if we might in any wayguard that provision against the raids of the undeserving who suffer by reason of their vices cr their unwillingness to work for themselves. The only real problem of society in this country JB how to make those keep sober and work diligently who now get drunk and do no work at all. Says Fred Douglass in a letter to the Washington Post:. • "While I neither asked, sought, nor expected to be appointed minister to this important country, I have no sympathy with those who endeavor to belittle th6 appointment or question the motives of President Harrison in making it. I know of no place on tho globe where I could be more usefully employed than in the discharge of the duties which will naturally devolve upon mo should I reach Port-au-Prince.', OVll .NEW IIO.HK A T OKLAHOMA.

He strayed into the Press Gallery, threw back his gray overcoat, adjusted his gold spectacles on his nose and looked around. *"A good deal changed," he said, glancing at tho life size photographs of Whitelaw Beid and younger editors which now decorate the walls,, '.'and it seems a hundred years ngo."

He is particularly facetious over the pictures in rhe rotunda and the stone people in "Statuary Hall." Arriving opposite the marble statue of Fulton, seated, and intently examining the model of a steamboat in his hands, he indulged in a wide-sweeping gesture and exclamation: "This, ladies and gentlemen, is Pennsylvania's favorite son, Robert Fulton. Observe his easy and unconventional attitude. Notice his serene and contented expression, caught by the artist at the moment when he made up his mind to steal John Fitch's steamboat" The humorist dresses a good deal more carefully than formerly, this is made necessary by his increasing amplitude, by his vast shock of gray hair, by his boisterous and ungovernable mustache, and by his turbulent eyebrows that cover his gray eyes like a dissolute thatch. And when he talks he talks slowly and extracts each of his vowels with a corkscrew twist that would make even the. announcement of a funeral sound like a joke. The Ehvanth National Csnsu*. Under the wise provision which r e - quires that a COUBUS of the Unlie<fc States be taken every ten years, tho preliminary work for compilation ot the eleventh census has alreudy begun. KoberL P. Porter, late of the New York Press, whom President Harrison has appointed to superintend the gigantUtatfk, already has nearly one hundred* clerks employed in preparatory work, and next year, when the actual count is to be made, will have moro than six hundred helpers. Mr. Porter has formerly nnnouncod that ho will aim to give tho country a good business and business-like census —nothing moro. The census of 1880, filling twenty large quarto volu beside the compendium of two volum is too big; so, big, in fact, that thou work upon it has been steadily pro cutcd for ten years it is not yet finished —-two volums of the full complement being still lucking. And it is not only too large in itself, but it is far too large in. the range of work undertaken. Very many of its compilations are faulty and much loss compact and reliable than they should bo, because the vast mass of facts dealt with wero not and could not be properly digested. Commissioner Walker, in his laudible ambition to make a Centennial Census worthy of his country, attempted to "cut too wide a swath." And Mr. Walker, expert and able statistician as he is, knowing better than most men tho practical value of statistics, and the need of having them easily and quickly accessible, was one of the xery tlrst to admit the objections inseparable from a twenty-volume census. A considerable part of the information collected by tho census-takers of 1880, he says, should be gradually aud continuously acquired by a regularboard of statisticians in the constant employ of the government. Certain classes of information gathered t e a years ago, he admits, were neither as complete nor reliable as they would be if a different and nioro regular process of collection had been adopted. Ho does not ; dversely criticise (nor will any citizen with duo prida in the industrial achievements of his country), any of tho scores of valuable features which the last census embodied; they (trc valuable and needed. P u t the government census report is not the place for thorn. In this view ex-Supcrintondent Walker and the present Superintendent Porter arc in perfect accord. Mr. Porter has said that unless interfered with by tho secretary of tho interior and tho civil service rules, he will a p - point his subordinates from highest to lowest, as he would in a newspaper office — according to their titness for the special lines of work to which they shall bo assigned. Ho will aim at securing such information, in addition lo the mere euumerition of population, as will most directly and practically servo the business and industrial and soe.i il interests of tho people, and at that point will stop. Ho will aim at tho utmost conciseness-of statement, at absolute reliability concerning nil mutters treated, and will seek to complete the census and deliver it to the people at the very earliest date compatible with careful and finished work. If Mr. Porter's" "plan of campaign" is carried out, the country will have a better and comparatively much cheaper national census than any hitherto taken.—Milwaukeo Wisconsin. Only a S t e p .

J u l y 1 there were 737 convicts in the prison, t h e smallest n u m b e r for seven years. Bertan H a i r e shot a crow recently in concord that measured over two feet from bill to tail.

On the morning of J u l y fourth as Verne Champlin, aged JO years, was tiring a toy cannon, a spark Hew into a box that held his powder exploding it, burning his face and eyes in ;\! frightful manner. One eye is lost and ! the doctor thinks he can save the othc" one. The convicts celebrated t h e F o u r t h in a gala m a n n e r . They had r u n n i n g races, walking matches, and other athletic sports to amuse themselves. In each cell were deposited a - b a g of peanuts and two bananas. <T'iis ? eems a small a m o u n t iO give but, when it is taken into consideration that it takes nearly fifteen hundred bananas to CD around it would reduce quite a fnt pocketbook.

A BRIEF SORROW, C H A P T E R . I . — ( C O 3 T I X U E D . » ) «:Tom, I have such a c h a r m i n g p a r t n e r for you for the next d a n c e . " .MJJS. Stephenson was saying by this tuna. "Come, and I will introduce VOM." Tom hesitated, and hung back a little sheepishly. " T h e r e must be plenty of Others, Mrs. Step^henson; and I—I—.lot me see w h a t is the next dance? -A v a l s e — a n d I don't >valse." "Oh, never mind that! I h a v e my o r d e r s , F a s s u r e you."—anid she smil- <jd encouragingly. "Come, you won't findher very alarming, and you know y o u are not a schoolboy now. Tom.'' So T o m went, not having time to wonder what Mrs. Stephenson could have, meant when she spoke of her " o r d e r s ' ; .and Faith accepted the h a a d of young Sidney Jtfertram, a little surprised and disappointed at losi n g Tool *o soon. She was too shy and insignificant to attract much attention at an evening party even when, AS now, it was only a small one; and «he preferred it so; but she had counte d on T o m as her faithful adherent for the. rest o f the evening, knowing .his schoolboy-like fear of strange .young ladies. Alter the valae was over Tom did not return,,and Faith could not catch * j g h t of him. The .next dance—a •quadrille—she sat out alone; for there was a scarcity of gentlemen, and then she *>aw him, in a set.at, the othor end of the rocan, with a young lady—a small figure in shimmering primrose satin, whose head scarcely reached h i s shoulder. Agnes,Berkeley, Tom's •sister, was dancing in. the sarao set—a tall fair girl of only fifteen, but looking older thaii Faith, and a t t r a c t i n g iar more attention on, account of her #o,od looks. Mary Trogelles was sitting, on a lounge with Sir Nostor Gold- •eney, the '.'lion'1 01 the ^occasion, a middle-aged baronet latoly returned from.India with any number of rupees and a disordered liver,1 and who seeme d . t o be trying to make himself a g r e e - able, to. his companion with about tho s a m e success as other men had met with. When Mrs. Stephenson had succeeded i n hiring Tom away from Faith's side, she had taken his arm and led h i m across the room to the young lady with wham she had . be on 'talking. ^ '••Nino, my d e a r , " ^ h e said: with her bland smile, callow me to present to you .theoelder son of our old friend and neig\h£or, Mr. Berkeley of lhe Manor, » e a r us, who wishes to dance with you. Tom, this is our visitor from London—Louise's school-friend, Miss D e r w e n t " Miss Derwent curtseyod, and Tom .a graceful bow. **I .am disengaged for the next | > H h « i o e / ' observed Miss Derwent grav/\.. «400*1/., i n . r e p l y to .her hostesf. " B u t , " said Tom lamely, '& can't • s w l l 1 teach you?" suggested Miss larly fascinating. She wa» small, slender* fairy-like, with quick movements and an aroh smile, Stro was one of those women who look well by artificial light, but who require very careful dressing; in the daytime to redeem them from insignificance. But to Tom, who had spent all his life in a country village, who had seen something of beauty ia his cousin and sister, and some «f the rustic maidens of t h e neighborhood, but nothing <ef a r t or oequetry, Nina Derwent a p p e a r e d a being from-mother world. The valse began almost immediately, a n d Tom's p a r t n e r found him an a p t pupil; for he had a general knowledge of dancing and a natural ease of movement that surmounted all diffic u l t i e s . "Your step will rait mine perfectfly!" she -declared, as the music stopped. "Then I hope yam will dance with me again?" he said at once eagerly. "Oh. I dare say I shall!" " T h e next," he urged growing bolder—'' do give me the next! I can dance that without troubling you to teach me, it's a quadrille." Miss Derwent hesitated, looking about her. Sir Nostor Goldoney was still engaged with Mary Tregallos, who did not valse. "because t h e parson wouldn't like it," Tom had irreverently declared, when his step-mother had remarked npon Mary's sitting the valses at the eounty-ball. Mr. Rowland was dutifully attending upon his fiance, Louisa; Sidney Bertram was asking Agnes Berkeley to dance; nobody was a p p r o a c h i n g tha corner in which she and Tom were silting; so ahe turned to him smilingly. "Very well—this one. But you must not be unreasonable you know; there are others. "* J "Oh, we won't think about the others until they come," he broke in. eagerly and gratefully; but his speech did not seem to please Miss Derwent, judging from tho expression that passed across her face. It was gone in a moment however and she was inquiring vivaciously if t h a t pretty girl in blue was his sister. "If you mean .that one," he replied, indicating Agnes---"yos. she is." "Ah, I knew it by tho likeness!" she declared; and then, catching Tom's glance, she burst out in a little ripple of la..gh.ter. ' H o w silly of me to say that! Now, I hopo you won't grow conceited!" "Not likely!'' he declared bluntly, though he was laughing too. " T h e r e ' s not much flattery wasted over me, I can toll you!" "Poi baps you don't deserve it?" she •suggested archly. " W h a t makes you thing that I don't?'' "I did not say that I thought so." "1 hopo you do not think so." After the quadrille was over, Miss Derwent proposed that Tom should take her to get some lemonade - the rooms were so hot. ••I'm so sorry I didn't think of it!" he protested peni enlly. "But, you know''—bluntly—"that I'm not at all used to this sort of thing." "Are you n o t ? ' she queried, raising her eye brows. "1 should have thought you were." Tom blushed like a school-girl at tho implied compliment. "I—~l don't usually care about parties and such things." he returned; Psurprising, since it was t h e first time in his life t h a t he had been called upon to perform such a task. Mr. Rowland came to his rescue with a tiny gold button-hook that he kept in h i i pocket against such emergencies, or Miss Derwent's glove would have fared badly; and while Tom stood by she scolded him for his awkwarkness, Bmiling up at him all the^ while and shaking her little head at him as he looked down at her, his ears tingling, half with shame at his roughness, half with a new overwhelming excitement. " I was so sorry to hear you give away that valse!"* Torn said, as he took Miss Derwent back to the dancing- room, her little hand upon his sleeve. "You could not expect to have them all, could you?'' she demanded. "Oh, no! B u t — - " "There now I must leave you! Here is my next partner. Never mind"—encountering his blank look archly—"we shall meet again!" "Oh, yes!" he said eagerly, happy again in a moment at her tone and manner; and then he went away, not to find a partner for himself, but to ait down at a distance, where he thought she would not observe him, and watch her dancing, talking, smiling, but not—so he fancied—as she had danced and talked and smiled with him. She was conspicuous among the re9t in her obviously town made dress, and had she not been so, his eyes would have found no difficulty in following her—he saw no ono else in the room. The dance after that was Mr. Rowland's, and the next Sir Nestor Goldeney'a. Tom, sitting by himself and refusing all offers to get him partners, thought t h a t thero would bo no other chance for him that night. He was therer ore almost wild with delight w h e n ' M i s s Derwent bestowed upon him the supper- dance, after waiting and hesitating until the last moment; and in due time he found himself walking off with her to the room in which the supper was laid. He had wanted to wait a little, and go when there were fewer people present; but Miss Derwent had insisted on going at the very moment when he wa-s urging his plea, hurrying him off in a sudden way t h a t puzzled him for a moment: but he was too happy to trouble himself about it. At the supper table Sir Nestor Goldoney was at Nina's left hand, the Baronet having taken in Miss TregeU. les; and Faith was at Tom's r i g h t hand, as ho discovered presently, much to his ama ement. "Why, Faith," he said—Miss Derwent being engaged just then in talking to Sir N'estor—"what have you been doing with yourself all this time? I've never set eyes on you once since I left you. "Uh. I have seen you!'' answered Faith cheerfully. " I have been dancing sometimes—not always; there are not gentlemen enough for us all to dance every time. Agnes has darned every dance, though. And how do you like it. Tom? Are you sorry you came?" ' S o r r y ! No—awfully glad! I've been "having such a jolly evenings- Faith! I didn't think this sort qi-thing was so nice. And, I sayvFaith, you must dance with m e a g a i n . mind " And there he >-ftfpped, hesitating in some embarrassment, unwilling to bincLirimself to Faith for a dance for Keep Their Minds Cheerful. A reasonably sure way to produce disease in children is to fill their minds with a knowledge of disease symptoms. Tell them where their heart is located and let them know the dangerous character of any trouble affecting t h a t organ, and ten chances to one, with an occasional muicular twitch in that locality, they will settle into the unpleasant conviction that their heart is not in its normal condition. One fortified with the information that every vertebrate has a liver and every nervous child with a slight coating on the tongue will cry for some p r e p a r a - tion that is at least tinctured with calomeL It is all right to teach a child certain general hygienic laws. It in necessary to convince them that if they lie or sit on the damp ground or expose themselves, when very warm, to draught, they will take cold. Certain anatomical laws ought to be taught children, but this continuous cackle about palpitation of the heart, or other cardiac difficulties, torpid livers, disintegrated kidneys and nervous debility, is productive of harm. It stimulates a morbid imagination and in youthful minds make mountains out of mole hills. If there is any a c t u T disease the only sensible course for a parent to take is to lead the young mind away from a contemplation of it. There is a deal of sympathy between the mind and body. When joyous and free from anxiety the mind never invites bodily ailments. Surrounded by sunshine and flowers and devoted friends, a child is not apt to worry over clouds and poisonous weeds and enemies.— Cincinuati Time3. but they pursuaded me to come bwlileh Miss Derwent might possibly be \ t, with a smile that lighted up her small pale face in an odd way that attracted Tom's attention. " I — I nm afraid I should bo very stupid." he stemmered; .but she.interrupted him. "Oh—no, J am sure you would not!" "There's a kjirid offer for you, Town," put in tho w i d e r , patronizingly.

The boy-'s brain seemed to whirl. It w-rt"s bis first intoxicating d r a u g h t of tho cup of life. „Oh their way they passed so close to Faith that the lace flounce bordering Miss Derwent's prim-rose satin dress swept over the girl's feet. Tom did not even see her; for he was gazing eagerly down at his companion with a flush on his checks and a light in his eyes that had never shone there before. Agnes Berkeley was in tho refreshment- room with Sidney Bertram, a n d Phyllis Stephenson with her prospective brother-in-law, together with some others. Tom called his sister r a t h e r eagerly and introduced her to his n e w . a c q u a i n t a n c e . Miss Derwent wan pleasant and smiling, and plunged int;> easy conversation with a readiness that Agnes hardly reciprocated. '&.he was a rather coldmannered ginl.\with not much to say for herself 'it present, though her fac,e was full of a Aaily developed intelligence. Miss Derwentfcad an ice. and ate it between her r*plies to Tom's halfwhisjieredremarkaitnd snatches of conversation with PbtfUis and Mr. Rowland. The latter gentleman asked her fen* the next valse on tho program, and slxe promised it gaily; but Tom was indignant—he h a t so longed to valse wsth her again. Nina ; accepted a eroam-cako. fiist taking off her delicate twelve-buttoned primrose <jflove, giving Tom a view of a white ama and slender hand; and, when she vw.us ready to go back, sho put on the giovo and essayed to but'on il; but soon declared it a hopeless task and implored Tom's holp. with a loc-k \;p at the tall lad that set his h<uu't b a i t i n g m.v;Uy, so that he h a r d ly k»-£)'-r wV.yj-e he was or wbat he was doinj. 113 broke off the first two butdisengaged, and yet suddenly conscious of, and anxious to atone for, his neglect of his old Iriend. "I'll come presently and see what dances jrou have to spare," he said rather awkwardly. " 'Sir Roger de Coverley' to wind up!" whispered Miss Derwent, turning io Tom at this moment. "And will you dance it with me?" he questioned eagerly, forgetting all about Faith directly. "Perhaps, if vou stand just where I like best." •"Of course—I'll do anything in the world that you like!" he declared; and she smiled at him, and turned away again to Sir Nestor. Miss Derwent did not leave Tom for long at a time; she continually made arch obser* ations upon their neighbors aud their surroundings, which made him pronounce her a very clever girl indeed. After supper she danced again with Sir .Nestor; and then, the Vicar having appeared on the scene, ke was brought to be introduced to her—the only stranger in the room—a«.d she remained in conversation witk him throughout the next dance, in sp<'.te of Tom's impatience.

T h e female sex controls most of the speech crop, or r a t h e r t h e speech crop controls the female sex. The entire human family is much addicted to a superfluity of words. The early-closing movement will probably never be appliei to the mouths of the children of men. In fact, the human mouth is very much overworked. A man's mouth is made to talk and eat, yet he often hurts himself dreadfully by talking, and kills himself by eating. The "unruly member" has been the cause of the largest part of all the sorrows, the quarrels and t h e wars that have ever afflicted mankind. Everyone, it is said, has a misjion, but it seems to be the mission of very few people to mind their own business. Gossip is the business of the feebleminded, and it enfeebles any mind it captivates. Gossip, and particularly society gossip, is poor drivel. I t is only chin-deep. It is, perhaps, not so hard for gossipy people to mind their own business, but it is the monotony which they cannot stand. You can get more wind out of a ten-cent fan than you can from *; $600 one, and it is the same way with a ten-cent man. If the proverbs of all nations are to be rolied on, it is the female sex that doec most of the gossiping. The Persians, for instance, say that ten measures of talk were sent down upon earth, and the women took nine. Another s tying is to the effect that the woman who makelh a good pudding in silence is better than she who inaketh a last reply. Very few women can say with thft governess, who advertised for a position, that she is perfect mistress of hei own tongue. In Zanzibar the womec bore their ears /dreadfully. In this country it is \eotnewhat different, foi they bore other People's oars, principally.— Texas'SifUngs. v »\^ • r>id Treatment.

T h e publication of a groat newspaper which is sold for a few cents would not bo possible, except for its advertising, and in the long run large and profitable advertising goes only.to a reputable journal. Its character is the best indication of the character and quality of its readers, whether they are of the kind before whom it is worth while to lay tho wares of the merchant. If the advertiser find that the paper deserves Ms'""owa respect and commands his own interest, if he sees it in tho hands of the honest, intelligent and selfrespecting people, who make the best customers, he is the more disposed to, use it as a medium for publishing h i s business. It is a waste of money to advertise an important business in a weak, silly, and vicious paper, for the sort of readers to whom it appeals do not support such a trade, and, having no respect for the paper, they naturally distrust the advertisements in i t The advertiser puts himself in bad company a u l suffers accordingly. A newspaper conducted on the plan Mr. Miller denounces might get a considerable sale as a novelty, and for K. short time, but decent and sensible advertisers would shun it, lest they might share in its deserved disrepute. —New York Sun. A N e w Lightning-Jiod Swindle. Enrmer.s along the Hudson are being victimized by a new styio of lightningrod *jri:uile. Tho agent induces the farmer to let him put rods on his house, agreeing, on account of the prominence of the farmer or the beauty of the farm-house, to make him a present of nearly the entire outfit The contract is signed, rods put up without insulators, and the farmer invited to go on tiie roof to test the conducting qualities. A battery is applied from the ground, and the countryman is thoroughly satisfied with the shock he receive*. Then comes the request to settle. The rods are all right as to price, but points to attract the lightning cost $10 each, and the farmer, who has no' read the contract through before, learns that ho is bound to pay from $S ) to $1A) for a set of worthless lightning { rods. — Ph'ladelphia Ledger.

The .lames Turpie, a British steamship, ran into a large whale on her recent voyage to New York from Messina. The ves>cl at the timo was bowling along at a good rate, and the collision shook her from stem to stern. It is estimated tho whale was sixty feet long. Timber Thieves and Public Lands. Tho American Forestry congress, undismayed by past failures, is moving vigorously forward in the good worl< of preserving our forests r o t only from needless destruction but also from the ravages of tho timber thieves who have been allowed to plunder the public domain for years with impunity. through the criminal indifferenjce'ol congress and its failure to protect the forests by suitable^iegislation. It wil) be remembeiied "that tho last congress was be-steged by this association with appeals and protests and with memorials setting forth the nature and extent of tho depredations of the tin> ber thieves, but no action was taken. Now tho association has gone straight to headquarters and laid a memorial before President Harrison. It is a sig* nificant document and ought to command prompt attention. It shows that millions of acres have literally bean. given away to individuals and corporations who have enriched themselvesby cutting off tho timber and leaving the land worthless; that tho limber thieves have been open and defiant ia their operations, particularly 1ft the redwood regiou of California; and that since 1KS0 tho value of tho public timber stolen outright amounts to *p36,- 710,935, of which tho government hasonly recovered $478,073.—Chicago Tribune. • • • . Uses for Bibles. In many parts of China the bible9 given to tne natives by missionariesare used in the manufacture of cheap boot soles - w h i c h are not tho kind ol souls the bible is intended to benefit. But the heathen in his blindnessdoesn't know any better. Now, in America it is different In many parts of this country bibles a r j used for pressing ferns and autumn leaves, and are frequoutly placed on a child's chair to elevate the little one.—Norristown Herald, i ^ • _. You Can't Gat to Europe Now. New Yrork Sun: If you haven't bought your ticket you can't go to Europe this season before midsummer. Tho transportation facilities are greater than ever before, but the craze for European travel beats anything ever known. The same story is told at all the steamship offices. A few berths will be surrendered by persons whose plans miscarry, but practically all the lines are booked to their full capacity up to the middle of July. If the great fleet which will sail eastward from this port in J u n e oouM ke doubled in number and capacity eTery boat would carry its full complement of passengers, Tho rush lasts from the middle of May until about J u l y 10. Then it suddenly stops and sots in in tho opposite direction about two weeks later. All the accommodations ou the favorite boats are engaged for the return trips between tho middle of A u - gust and tho middle of October. m »m* i n i « ' 1 i 1 . '* <• A.

Following is a synopsis of the important provisions of the new fish law: The catching of trout, salmon and grayling is lawful only from May 1st to September 1st, and then only by hook and line. Bass may be caught at any time, but only by hook and line. You cannot lawfully spear them at any time. The use of explosive substances in catching any kind of fish is unlawful. Spearing of fish excepting mullet, grass pike, red sides and suckers is prohibited from March 1st to July 1st. The use of any species of net excepting dip nets in catching mullet, etc., is unlawful at all times. A violation of any of the provisions of this law is punishable by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $100 and costs, or imprisonment for 30 days if fine is not paid. The Grand Trunk is a great leveler among railroads. There is talk of a connection in this city between the Grand Trunk and tbe Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinac, and also that the Grand Trunk will be pushed on from this point to the west making a short line to Chicago. Mr. Oakes, president of the Northern Pacific, refers in a recent statement to the affiliation between the two lines. He said that connection with tbe Grand Trunk was tbe great inducement on the part of the Northern Pacific management "to buy the Wisconsin Central. By that road we got close connection with the Grand Trunk. We desired closer relations with that road and have now got them. You see by these connections we have a road straight across the continent from Portland, Me., Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Montreal on the St Lawrence to the Pacific coast This gives us a powerful system of roads." We have great faith that Jackson will be an important point in the Grand Trunk system, not only for an east and west, but also for a great north and south line*—-Jackson Patriot The preliminary work of the State Fair to be held at Lansing, September 9,10. 11, 12 and 13, is progressing rapidly. There are now eighty-five men employed, and 1,000,000 shingles and 500,000 feet of lumber will be required in tbe erection of additional buildings. Ten acres will be devoted to exhibition of machinery. There will be 3,600 feet in length of horse stalls, 3,100 of cattle stalls, 1,200 feet each for swine and sheep. The Machinery Hall will have an area of 8,500 square feet, and the Carriage Hall 6,500. Nine hundred feet of water mains are now laid in the grounds. The New Grand Stand, 200 feet long, is a model for that purpose. Officers are provided for the telegraph and telephone systems and for the officers; The Race Track, seventy-five feet in width, is ene of the best in any state. The grounds are dry in any weather, with abundance of shade trees, and cannot be excelled. C. G. Jewett of Howell, was awarded tbe contract for hearing the new court house at a' cost of 12,993. We glean the following from the Livingston Repa blican: " It is to be a steam heating apparatus, according to the plans and specifications furnished by the architect, A. E. French of Detroit. The boiler used will be a large 50-inch diameter by 14 feet in length, horizontil boiler, with 53 three-inch tubes. Everything in connection with the work is specified to be of the finest material and workmanship. Mr. Jewett being the lowest bidder was awarded the contract. While the number of bidders was not large it is a fact that the two from Detroit represent tbe twe oldest and most thoroughly established houses in the business in the state. Webster & Meath are among tbe lowest bidders for steam heating in Detroit, and it is a credit to our tojvnsman, Mr. Jewett, that he finds himself able to compete with these older houses."

Ingels started for Ithica last Thursday, where he will visit relatives and friends. While E. D. Collard was in the saw mill last Friday a log rolled over, catching his foot and bruising it quite badly.' He is slowly recovering. While Mrs. Voegts wa3 washing for Mrs. J. Ingels last Monday she ran a needle in her hand and broke it off, which made a very painful wound. Messrs. «. G. Topping and W. Worth challenged Messrs. C. Ingels and F. Collard to a championship game of croquet to be played on the Plainfield croquet grounds on Wednesday, July 17th, at 7 p. m. sharp, for a wager of the cigars for all of the players, to be paid for by the side that lost the game. The game was called at the appointed time and a vast concourses)f people assembled to behold the contest They played for about twenty-five minutes and at last Topping, Collard and Ingels were^oyerSi while Worth made several errors and-^was so unfortunate as not to get through^ the fourth or center arch. Topping hit tne^sjtake by a raisshot and had to remove his ball; Collard and Ingels also hit the stake, therefore the game was decided in favor of Collard and Ingels, when the crowd gave them great applause. The time was thirty minutes. m i r w- •a i * \ i r I, t f w JM 1' - \ / ' * ~"53*Wf& "*•* V+ I'm \ r PINCK5ET V>< i » T h e action of t h e ChiriosC'governm e n t in e s t a b l i s h i n g ^ " a t C a n t o n t h e l a r g e s t m i n t j j r t f i o world for t h e coina g e o'f^stTvcr lias c r e a t e d g r e a t a l a r m ^ i n ' M e x i c o .

MANY LIVES LUST, A Valley in W e s t V i r g i n i a S w « p t F l o o d . by Great Datnajj* Dona to Property. The greatest disaster that ever befell Little Kanawha valley in West Virginia came the ot .ei* night in tho shape of a terrible doud burst, which has completely flooded the country, destroying many lives, carrying otf thousands of dollars lu property aud ruining the crops lor many miles. The deluge fe.l la the vicinity <if P a r k e r s burg about dusk and continued to fall in torrents doing much dainag-.* ia the city. The worst 01 the atorin struck the lower side of the Kanawha, hlliou' small tributaries fiom bank to bunk and ending in the •worst tiood within recollection QL the oldest Jnhuoit. u u . hi three hours the Kanawna raised six feet aud ran out witn such veloc ity that it earned every ihuiK before it. A t this poiut thousands of logs and a uumber of boats went out or were sunk. Three persons from Parkersburg were drowned. ,Abo\e l'arkersburg the destruction is much greater. Villages in the Big Tygart valley have be?n swept away, and crops and live s.ock destroyed. Eleven lives were lost. — - . •+. ~ . — . DAKOTA'S WHEATCROP. Tho Yield Will be About 30,000.000 Bushels Short. Tho wheat cro> of Dakota is ?.0,00,\000 bushels short. The total production lor the territory cannot, under the best posi sible conditions from uow until harvest, exceed i,0,o\<0,w>o bushels, aud to put it th .t high is a liber.il estimate. The greatest detriment to a success.ul crop t h b y e a r has been the exceedingly dry season, and only along the streams will there be any crops at all. Hundreds ot acres were sowu lor the second time. It is likely that outside of the valiey of the Red river all the gr. in growu will not till 500 cars. In Nefson ount.v, famously prolific, wheat will not.vieid as much grain as was seeded. Kamsey is bare, except in the immediate vicinity of Devil s lake, and in the famous Turtle Mountain region, the rich soil of which has hitherto b< en regarded as drought-proof, tho e a r t a , succumbed, and there will be but little wheat for export in that section. biucethe main line of the National Pacific the eievators are closing irp and the cdiutry tributary to Bismarck is as barren as a sandhill. The Jim river valley will barely feed its people. The cry of famine that was raised last winter in the western part of Walsh county will find its echo all over the territory the coming winter. Aside from this impoverishment of the people by the failure of the whe.it, there is another dutiger, which will be felt almost as severely, and Unit is the w..nt of fodder for the stJck. The oat crop is bad, and the meadows away from the river bottoms are as parched us the jira rie. Not filonewill this whole territory be the sufferer, but a trip through Montana reveals the same sta'eof attairs. The range cattle will not find enough to live on until cold weatnef aud a prominent ruhroad official says that all the extr.i cars of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads haye-iieon ordered to Montana to pull ou.t-"tfie steers as soon as the lack of food-necessitated a reduction in numbersjo/ the range stock.

The cause of the tracedy is not known, although it is s t a t e l that Rosenberg has complained about the way be has been used in money matters by the woman. Koscnberg met his death in a peculiar and unintent onal manner while trying to escape. In scaling a fence at the end of the lane, through which lie ran after lump ing through the window, the doctor thinks that he fell on a pile of railroad sleepers, lying beside the Fitch burg tracks, and struck his head on a spike, which fractured his skull and instantly killed him. Dr. Durell says there is no doubt that Rosenberg was crazy. For Farmers' Benefit. Among the recent publications issued by the department of agriculture is a sixteenpate pamphlet, farmers' bulle in No. 1, emanating trom the oftlce of experiment Btations of this department, Prof. Oatwater director, which tells what the experiment stitions are, what they do and bow they do it. From this bulletin it is learned that the magnitude of this scientific work undertaken for the benefit of the farmers of the United- States far outstrips uny other nation in the world, aud that, although this line of scientific work was be gun in this country only fourteen years a.eo, many of the stations have already saved to the farmers more than the entire cost of their maintenance by the result of their investigations in a single line of work. A very large edition of this bulletin has be^n issued in anticipation of a widespread demand for the valuable infotmation thus compressed into a few pages. _..... An Electrical Disturbance. A heavy wind and rain storm which visited EvnnsviUe, Ind., July 14, did much damage. Numerous electric light wires were blown down, charging the pools of wa'er and buildings with the current. Fire a foot high was emitted in many places, causing an alarm to be sounded. The fire department responded, and being unaware of the condition of things, rushed into what was almost certain de .th. Horses and firemen alike were knocked down by the electricity. Citizens rushed iu and met a similar fate and for a time excitement ran high. When the current was shut off,over a do/en persons were found unconscious, but their lives were saved. Several of tho firemen, however, at last accounts were said to l|} in a precarious condition. Defies Bismarck. The Swiss government's reply to Chan cellor Bism .rck's demand that socialists and other objectionablo characters shall not bo harbored in the Httlo republic, 'is couched in dignified but defiant language, «nd insists t h . t refugees shall be treated as they deserve, and that the Swiss government was justified in expelling tho German police officer from the country. The reply has caused surprise, if not consternation, among the Germans, and Emperor William has cautioned Bismarck not to aggravate the difficulty by any ill-timed movement. Brickyard! Boutfbt.

This i upital combinatioa will be of an entirely different character to that recently organised to operate the American breweries. The plan of the brickyard trust is to extinguish the smaller yards and concen rate the business in one or two large yards. New and improved machinery U contemplated which will produce brick at a reduced price. The syndicate will take charge of the Detroit brickyards within 30 days according to the agreements made. Agriculture in Auatralia. In December of last year the department of agriculture received from its chief secretary s oftlce at Briabaue, (Queensland, Australia, a comtnun cation requesting the department to nominate to that government a suitable person to be appointed as instructor in agriculture.

" S i n c e I have n o p a t e u t on m y m e t h o d s of c o u d n u t i u ^ business a n d n o secrets t o w i t h h o l d from t h e public, I a m perfectly willing t o gratify y o u t o t h e extent of m y ability. T o c o m m e n c e with: After the g r e a t Chicago fire of '71, I became c o n v i n c e d t h a t t h e r e wan a large a n d i n c r e a s i n g d e - m a n d , a tidal wave, as i t were, for a first class five cent cigar. H o w to prod u c e such a cigar and t o m a r k e t it profitably was t h e problem t o solve. " I was a y o u n g man a t t h e t i m e a n d full of ambition. After carefully s t u d y - i n g t h e condition of t h e t r a d e , I settled u p o n a plan t o accomplish m y object. B u t before I give it to y o u , let m e explain t h e situation us it existed a t t h a t time. T h e average retail dealer i u t h o s e days never t h o u g h t it possible t o s e l l a five-cent ci'zur a t less t h a n 10J per cent profit, while t h e average wholesale dealer o r m a n u f a c t u r e r m a d e a .profit varying from $11) t o $15 p e r 1,0!)) o n t h a t class of goods. S u c h five-cent cigars, of course, were m a d e of very inferior domestic stock.' " N o w I conceived, the idea t h a t b y red u c i n g both profits a n d slightly increasi n g t h e price, and at the same time maki n g a ciirar t h a t should contain t h e choicest Havana til lor, a n d t h e n planing it iu t h e h a n d s of oroniiiioiit retail deale r s all o v i r t h e United States, with an exclusive control or a g e n c y for t h e same for their towns or n e i g h b o r h o o d s , they, t h r o u g h t h e superior quality of t h e cigar, which a t oneo c o m m a n d e d a .largely ineroMRnd trade, could afford h> sell it a t a reduced percentage of profit. I u o t h e r words, I first raised t h e price of t h e goods to t h e retailer, a n d a t t h e s a m e time I reduced m y own profits m o r e than one-half. T h i s difference ena b l e d me to furnish a n Havana filled c i g a r t h a t could b e retailed for five cents. " T h e n T personally t r a w l e d over t h o U n i t e d States nnd establish.<d 'my agencies, relying chiefly on mail orders, t h e r e b y dispensing with d o u b l e " d r u m - m i n g " a n d t h e j o b b e r ' s profit, t h u s effecting a grout saving. I c h a r g e d n o t h - i n g for my services a n d sold my goods at less than one-half t h e profit, m a d e b y m y competitors, i n talcing this step [ t r u s t e d solely to t h e intelligence of t h e s m o k e r and dealer for.my recompense. H a d I n o t done so t h e n a m e of 'Tansill .Punch1 cigar, like t h e n a m e s of my t h o u s a n d imitators, would have been obsolete long a g o . " " H a s y o u r faith in tho intelligence of t h e s m o k e r a n d dealer been s u s t a i n e d ? " "Yes, far b e y o n d m y most sanguine expectations. And us t h e business h a s grown from year to yeai\*l have appropriated a percentage.of my profits for advertising. I might add in this connection that I have ju.-it placed con tracts for advertising 'Tansrll's P u n c h ' i n nearly 7V00U daily a n d weekly newspapers, with a combined a n n u a l circulation of over 5()0,000,000 copies.

" " H a s y o u r plan of d o i n g business m e t with tho^upproval of the1 m e r c h a n t ? " " M y success t'lnphatically answers y o u r question in t h e affirmative. Could y o u b u t read our correspondence , y o u would then realize h o w o u r agency a n d g o o d s a r e appreciated b y both dealer a n d smoker. As t o t h e value of o u r a g e n c y , I will give y o u an illustration. N i n e years a g o W. M. Dale, a Chicago^ d r u g g i s t , was .trying t o establish a t r a d e on a five-cent cigar. To accomplish this he was p a y i n g &>3 per 1,000 for his leading live-cent b r a n d a n d r e - t a i l i n g b u t 200 of t h e m p e r week.

I could cite yon similar illustrations in a l m o s t every part of tho U n i t e d S t a t e s . " " T h e n I u n d e r s t a n d , Mr. Taunill, t h a t y o u r plan is to sell a first-class cigar at a small profit and rely upon t h e largo v o l u m e of vonr trade for t h e r e s u l t s ?

How She attracted Notice. Tbla little i n c i d e n t - i t i s a t r e e atory— occurred a lew days ago in Philadelphia. Trie owner of a large retail store gave a holiday to all of hia employee in t h e middle of J u n e . Caabiera, foremen, a leamen •< nd women, cash boys and porters, all were invited to spend tbe day on t b e grounds of the country seat owned by t b e employer. Tents wore erected, a bountiful dinner aud supper were provided, a bond was stationed in tbe grove, and special t r a i n s w e r e chartered to uurry tbe guests to the country and borne .'gain. JNothiog else was talked of for weeks before t h e happy day. T h e saleswomen, most of whom were young, unxiously planned their dresses a n d bought cheap uud pretty musiins, which they made up in tbe evening, ttiat they might look fresh | and gay. Kven tbe cash boys bought new cravats and hats for the ureal occasion. <. There was one girl, whom we shall call June, who could not indulge herself in auy pretty bit of imery. b h o w a s tbe ou:y child ol u widowed mo'her who w a s paralysed. Jane wus quick aud industrious, but she hud heeu bui a lew mouths in tue store aud her wayes barely kept her uud her mother from want. " W h a t shail .you we. r . " said the girl who stood next her ueuiud the couuter. " 1 bought such a lovely b.ue lawn." " i have nothing but this," said J a n e , glancing dowu at her rubty black nit!r- 1UO. ••iiut, that is a winter dress! You'll mell, ehiid. Theie'll be dancing and boating uud croquet. ^ uu myst have a summer gowu or else dun t go. ' Girls of 1) like pretty gowns. J a n e said uothing tor a lew miuutes. 4>i shall wuar this.' she said firmly, "Aud I thin.; i will go. Mother wishes it. ' " B u t you can't dance or play croquet in t h a t : " " H i s alwi ys fun to see other people have fun," said Jaue, bravely. The day came, bright and hot, and J.ine went in her heuv.v well d..rned dross. She gave up all idea of ••fun" 1ur herself and set to work to help the Others bud it. Ou the cars she bus e J herself in finding seats lor the l.tde girls and i.elping the servants with the baskets of provision*. On the grounds she st ried games lor the ch'idren, ran to lay the table, brought water to the old ladies, was ready to pin up torn gowus, 'or to applaud a "«ood b a i l : ' she laughed and was happy and f'-ieuoly all t i e time. {- he did not dance nor play, but she w..s surrounded by a cheerlui, merry group wherever she went. On t h e the way home to town tbe employer, who vv;is a shrewd business mau, becKoncd to his superintendent. "There is one girJ hero whose friendly, polite manner is very remariiab'e. S h e will be valuable to me as a saleswoman, tiive her a good position. That young woman in black,' aud he pointed her out. ' The next day Jane was promoted into one of the most important departments smd s,nee that time h e r success has been s ead.v 'J'he good nature and kindness of heart which enaoled her to "lin.i iun in seeing others have fun," wore the best capital for her in her business. She had the courage, loo, to disregard poverty aim to make ties best of life, a courage which rarely tails to meet its reward. All Electric Clock.

F o r this report r e t u r n s hav» been received from &53 correspondents, representino; G(H township.*. F i v e h u n d r e d a n d sixtv-eik'ht of these r e p o r t s are from 4401 townships i n t h e southern four tiers of counties, and 141 reports a r e from 12(J townships in the central counties. In addition t o the foregoing the "farm statistics," collected a n d forwardj?:. ri? j eel by supervisors, have been received :'uj from 04 per cent of the townships i n the {"state. The footings of these are n o t yet, complete, but have progressed f a r enough to furnish approximate statements respecting the wheat acrea g e of the present year, and the acres a n d yield in 1888. The n u m b e r of acres of wheat in the State in May of this year, as shown by r e t u r n s compiled, was 1,455,556. Multiplying the acres i n each 2ounty by the average yield as estimated by crop correspondents, and footing the products, gives 22,000,952 busnels as the probable total yield in the State This is an average per acre of 15 and 8- hundredths bushels in the southern counties, 15 and 68-hundredths In the central counties, and 15 and 52-hundredths in the northern counties. The n u m b e r of acres of wheat harvested in '1888 was approximately 1,506/)37: yield, 23,472,177 bushels, an average of 15 and 38-hundredths bushels per acre. The area harvested in the southern counties, as tabulated for this report, was 8.270 acres less than reported on the g r o u n d in May, 1888. In the central and n o r t h e r n counties the a r . a harvested was greater than reported in wheat one year npo. The increase is doubtless spring wheat sowed after the as.ses-nient was taken. Nearly one-tenth of the wheat acreacre of this y^ar is reported "winter- £ +5^ A NOTICE!

Department Commander Michael Brown has issued the following order to the G. A. R.: HBAD0.CARTEK3 D l t P ' T . OT MICHIGAN', G U A N U A U M Y OJ» TH Biu UAPIU: CIKCULAR XO. 2 . After long continued and bonaflde efforts on the part of a large number of the department commanders of the Grand Army of the Kepublic, supplemented by earnest appeals to the railroad officials from our commander-in-chief and executive council of Milwaukee, we have failed to secure for the old soldiers the customary rate of one cent per mile traveled to and from the national encampment, to be be held at Milwaukee, Wis., during the last week in August. Jn view of the fact that a rate of one cent a nule and less has receutly been given to other organizations, societies and excursions, there is a general feeling that the men whose services and s icrifices alona maue it possible for the railroads to exist und share in the prosperity which has attended the nution in recent years are entitled to the rate asked for and which has recently been accorded to others. .. Firmly beliewug that the refusal to give said rate of one cent a mile traveled is an unjust discrimination agaiust the veterans of the late war, I therefore in concurrent action with the department commanders of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, who have and will issue circulars similar to this in their respective departments, advise all comrades of this department, as a matter of self-respect and self-defence and out of love for our order, that they forego the anticipated pleasure of meeting their comrades at the national encampment by remaining at home, only those attending who are duly elected delegates or ex officio members of the encampment. Comrades,-let us be dignified but resolute a n d determined in this matter, and manfully resent this great injustice sought to be meted out to the men who gave the best .years of their lives und their best energies to make our country united, strong and prosperous, and our tiag as well as our laws and our theory of government by the people respected and admired throughout the civilized world. 1 issue this circular with much regret. It will be a great disappointment to thou sunds of comrades in this und other departments to have the anticipated grand reunion resolve itself into a mere formal business sessiou. It will also bo a great disappointment to the comrades and patriotic cnizeus of Milwaukee who are doing everything in their power to give their visitors a generous welcome. They are entitled to the thanks and best wishes of all the comrades of the Grand Army of the Kepublic for their efforts, und it is to be regretted that we cannot with any'degree of self-respect reward them or their arduous labor by our presence u i i h e encampment. Personally I shall be greatly disappointed. 1 had hoped to see the department of Michigan very largely represented in the grand parade and review, but with a principle involved, and with the future good of our nobie order in view, 1 believe 1 am doing right and that the comrades throughout ihis department will indorse my action. I wish to way that 1 am informed thnt some of tt.e groat rail road systems of this country were in favor of the o u e c e n t a - mile i'ute, but a in a ority being opposed, they deemed it to be thcir'duty to agree to the r te announced, to wit: one fare for the round trip.

Of courso not!' interrupted Tom, feeling highly indignant with Phyllis. "She is Agnes's frietul—what have 1 to do with Agnes's friendships?" rather roughly. "Talking of your sister?" said Miss Derwent gently, "she called here yesterday with her cousin. What a lovely girl she is!" "They never told me!" "Did they not?" raising her eyes to his in mild surprise. "Well perhaps they had no opportunity"— recollecting that he had been out all the Saturday afternoon and until late in the evening, when, on his return home, his father had made nr. unwelcome claim upon hi* time and attention. "She is so tall and graceful!" continued Miss Derwent. "I do admire tall people—don't you?" "No," said Tom with a glance at^the small figure beside him; and ^fina smiled upon him—that smile which she was well awaro was the most dangerous weapon in her armory, and used accordingly. •'Well, of course." she said, "one does not expect brothers to admire their sisters. They leave that for other people's brothers to do' — archly. "Oh, Agnes is too young yet for anything of that sort!" observed Tom. "Agnes and Faith used to have the same governess." remarked Betty. "Yes/1 said Tom; "and the Vicar teaches Faith a good deal still, and she manages to find time for Lalin and Greek and Hebrew, besides keeping house.

"W.n mean that you have had a very pleasant life so far?" she questioned lightly. "Yes; it has been very jolly on the whole.

BE you coming to church this morning, T o m ? ' "Oh.no—not this morning, Mary!" •'You mijjht come sometimes, Tom!" put in Agnes, standing at the great hall door, tall and graceful in her well worn black jacket and her large black hat, which had done Sunday duty through the summer. "Mr. Freke does not say anything but he must notice that you are not at church." "Why, bless you, child, the Vicar's as blind as a bat! It's all that ho can do to read his boo'c when it is at the end of his nose! He wouldn't know his wife if ho had one"—with a sly glance at Mary—• outsido of a quarter 'of a yard, let alone me half way down the aisle. Besides, I ve an engagement." ••Well, then, if you won't come, we must make haste." '•Where are father and mother?" ••Gone on with Dan." "Well, I don't care if I walk as far as the gate wi h you," said Tom on bearing this news. He and his father tacitly avoided one another now. As a child, the son who .so strongly resembed Mr. Berkeley's dead wile had been his pride and favorite; but, when he grew older and disappointed his guardians and teachers in every way, disgracing the old name with hi-* wild and riotous doings, brazening out reproof and turning a deaf ear to warning, his father was ready to give up all hope of him, and •concerned himself ehiotly with doing all ho could to preserve Dan—the only child of his second marriage, a boy now nine years old—from tho contamination of his half-brother's influon e. Tom walked down tho avenue with his sister and cousin, whistling softly as if 4n thought. When they reached the gates he paused, and let them g© on alone. He did not turn back to the house, but stood still whistling "Apple Dumplings," but so slowly a r d quiotly that Miss Tregelles had mistaken it for hymn tune. " I wonder what Tom is meditating?" observed Agnes, when they were out of hearing. "No harm, I daro say,'1 returned Mary cheerfully, thinking of the hymn-tune. " O h , but didn't you know that thero had boen another complaint from the game-keeper at Littleton Pt.rk? He didn't wish to expose him; so he came himself and spoke to father aboirt it last night, and father went to Tom's room afterwards. It was after we "had :gono up stairs—mother told me this morning." " I am sorry!" Mary said gravely. "Then there was that fuss on Wednesday night, when he came home tipsy again," Agnes went on. "We should all bo BO happy together If it were not for him! We are very fond of him—nobody can help being so, I think—but if he would only be different!" "Perhaps he will some day," rejoined Mary, who had groat hopes of her scrapegraco etousin, and was his beot friend after Faith Freke. Tom, left to himself, continued to stand at tho gates un'.il tho church bells had stopped ringing. If he was on the wateh for one party of chutvh- .< goers who must past by, he waited La rain, aud, as eleven struck, he turned Jus he^l and walked to the teott Manor was an nnoient pile. Tho Berkoleys were an Unty family renowned In former times for their bravery and patriotism. Wescott Manor had been a gift from Henry V., to the Berkeley of the period for faithful service in his French wars, and many a "deed of darring-do" had made the family famous. More than one Berkeley had refused a peerage, considering tho )Uhia name a greater distinction than that could bo conferred. Of r«, however, the glory of tho had departed; poverty had m its eons — a gradual Ey of fortune which became more apparent with the advent of each successor to the Manor lands. Tho prese n t Thomas Berkeley was most inconvenienced by the want of money, and would have little to leave behind him; he was therefore the mote anxious to •ee his sons well settled. The house was gradually falling into"decay; If Tom turned over anew leaf and settled down to something, bo might make money enough to do up t a t old place when he should come into it; If not, then the Manor must go to ruin. Tom entered the house by the front door, which opened into a great square hall, hung with ancient firearms and trophies of the chase in the shape of stags' heads, and foxes' brushes. He cams out of the house again in a few minutes pushing the protrudingend of a net into his pocket. He turned at once toward the high road, which ran between the Manor grounds and the woods, so intent upon his present object that be had crossed the road and put his foot upon the stile before he caught sight of five ladies coming along tho dusty road; they were flounced and f urbelowed and half concealed by parasols of various hues nnd patterns; but he recognized the party. He drew back his foot and walked slowly toward them, a sudden Hush suffusing his face. "Why, where are you off to?" was his somewhat unceremonious greeting; but no clumsy words of his could hide the pleasure he felt. Miss Derwent—who Bince Friday night had now and then recalled the handsome boyish face that had taken her fancy, full of vivid and changing expression, glowing too with a sudden new-born admiration—seemed pleased also, and a look of boredom, which had produced one or two faint lines on ner forehead and puckered tho corners of her mouth, making" her appear rather old and haggard in the morning light, faded away. "Why—to church, of course!" responded Mrs. Stephenson cheerfully. "We are late. I could not get those tiresome girls to move quickly!" " I t s a quarter past eleven," said Tom in surprise; for they were punctual people at the manor, and he had had no experience of any other household. "Yes; are you coming with us?" Thero is plenty of room in our pew.11 ••Oh, no, thanks!" he returned quickly, thinking of his father and Mary and Faith Freke watching him come imo church in the middle of the service in company with a family whom he had never ceased to ridicule ever since he couldp«$>eak. He could not endure that, thougTT'fei^a moment the temptation had been strong to go a nd Bit beside Nina Derwent. "Well, tlfen, if you really won't, will you come to us after church, and stay to our early dinner? ' proposed the widow sweetly, showing a sudden predilection for Tom's society, which certainly would have surprised him had he had a thought to spare for any one or anything besides that bewitching face that trailed at him from under the lawn and pink Paris chapeau. •'Wo dine early on Sundays, you know." Tho Stophensons dined early every day when they had no visitors, and, if any one of importance dropped in unexpectedly at the hour of the mid-day meal, they culled it "luncheon," and hastily improvised a late dinner if the visitor stayed long enough; if not, Of course ho or she could not possibly loll that only a vulgar substantial middleclass tea followed at six. "I—well—I think I will," stammered the boy, hesitating and growing very rod inithe face. "Very well, then—wo shall expect you. We dine at half past one; but. come as soon after service as you like. Come, .girls, we must be going. An revoir, foui."—nodding and smiling. "I am so glad you arc coming," said Nina Deweut, slopping behind the others. She spoke with charming frankness, and glanced up into his face so bewitchingly that tho flush on his cheek* deepened. "And so am I," he answered with difficulty. "We can talk over Friday night together, can't we?—and plenty of other things too, I daro say," "Oh, yes." with more ease. "Good-bye. for ailittle while, then," —and she went on with the othrrs; and Tom returned home, quite oblivious of his engagement; so that, if any of his undesirable companions wero awaiting him in tho \woods that day, they waited in vain. He seemed to know to a minute when the service was over, for the ladies at Wistaria Villa—Mrs. Stephenson's pretty cottage on tho highroad— had not had time to take off their out-of-door garments before ho made his appearance, looking much •smarter than when they had seen him last. His shyness so^on wore off. Nina Derwent showing herself so pleasant and friendly that ho was perfectly at ease before the others had finished discus-ing the new bonnets that had been seen in church that morning. After dinner Tom and Miss Derwent and Phyllis and Betty went out into tho garden behind the house ahd- sat in the arbor. Mrs. Stephenson stayed indoors for a nap, and Louisa kept hor company, ostensibly to read, really to follow her mother's example. The party in tho arbor fell to talking about the inmates of the Vicarage. Tho Vicar was not in great favor with the Stephenson's — perhaps because ho had never looked twicjg at any of them, though the widow had not given up hope until Mary Tregelles had ap- f Brig. Gen.

The editor of the Navasota (Texas) Tablet gives such a full and accurate description of one that should you meet him you could hardly fail to recognize him. The editor says the shiftless farmer has a lifelong ambition to gain a reputation for wearing a ilirty shirt He will alarm the neighborhood by getting up two hours before day and then sit around and not go to work until after sunup. He will ride around a week looking for a two-dollar hog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing over a fence where a gait ought to be. Ho will pay three dollars for a bridal, and then let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. He gets all his neighbors to help in getting a cow out of the bog, then let her die for want of attention. She will get in and destroy his crops at a place in his fence that he has been putting off fixing for six months. He will sprain his back lifting sometime to show how strong he is. He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day to show how much he can stand, and then return home at night and occupy two-thirds of the fireplace till bed-time. He will ridicule the mechanism of a corn planter, and then go out and smash his thumb nailing a board on the fence. #. He will go to town on Saturday and come home with fifty cents worth of coffee, a paper of pins and a dollar's worth of chewing tobacco. He is economical; economy is his j forte; he will save tan cents' worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a seventy dollar wagon. He won'tsubscribe for a newspaper, but will borrow from his friend and forget to return it. Training Hewers. The term "breaking" as applied to the domestic animals icas an unpleasant signification. II indicates bad management forcibly remedied. A calf or a colt should be trained from its birth, and it should be gradually led in the way it should go—the word '•educated" has precisely this meaning —by a constant progressive course of kind and considerate treatment. A heifer calf should be weaned at its birth. If its natural instinctive proclivities are to be repressed and obliterated, this is tho time to begin, before the germs of these have had opportunity to grow into a habit. Hence the calf should not bo permitted to suck tho dam and should bo taught to drink from a pail. Have a leather collar strong enough to hold it, with a rinjr sewn in it, and a rope with a snap hook attached to tie it with in the pen. Then it should be handled (brushed is better) quite frequently, until it is used to it and makes no resistance but rather likes it. As it grows older its udder and 1&i.ts should be rubbed and pulled as if in milking. • This not only makes it docile, but it helps the development of the udder and increases its future capacity. A heifer may be brought to milk in this way before it has a calf, and instances of this lacteal precocity are not infrequent in dairies wher3 calves are permitted to suck each other, although this is a great mistake and is provocative of vicious habits, such as selfsucking and sucking other cows. When tho heifer has a calf it is already tr.iined, and breaking, with the discipline of a club, a boot, or a milking stool, will not bo required. Cabbage After Early Potato**. To get a good crop of cabbage after early potatoes, it is only necessary to have good strong he ilthy plants to commence with. To obtain such, sow the seed in drills, not less than one foot apart, and thinly in the row, the last week in May or the first week in June. One ounce of seed will produce 2,000 plants, and if cultivated on good soil will produce the best plants in thirty days or by July first Aftei digging, tho potato patch should be freshly plowed, and tho soil thoroughly pulverized. My plan is then to open furrows four feet apart and j of butter, two cupfuls of water. Farm Kotos. By experiments it baa been found that clover fed with corn makes a gain of thirty to forty per cent greater than a corn ration alone. Farmers in the United States who wish to breed and bring out good saddle horses, should ride daily, or have sons who can constantly ride. Pigs that have the run of clover fields, with slops made from bran and shipstuff, will not reach the weight of those that havo a small additional ration of corn. Grass-fed cattle are much cleaner than those fed in sheds, but care should be taken that these "grassers" come to market with their coats in respectable condition. The head does not need a dense shield to protect it from the sun. It does need a shade, but it also needs a circulation of air, which a loosely woven hat. broad enough in the brim to cover the back of the head and neck, best gives. In making poultices to use in warm weather use water instead of milk, as there is lets danger of it becoming sour. Crumb the inside of a piece of bread, cover it with cold water, and let it stand fifteen minutes. Then boil till smooth, and just thick enough to run; spread it on old linen of four or five thicknesses. \.^ We should hardly call it a system of rotation of crops where the same one was raised upon the same land for more than two successive years. WTould prefer a different crop each year. Hay might bo a possible exception to this rule; with a good dressing of fine manure each year, land might remain, to grass more than two years. When a few fowis are kept on the kitchen scraps, they often, if rightly managed, yield larger returns than a 1-rge flock but half attended to. There U no disputing the fact that all poultry require careful management to make them pay, and when this is done, nothing on the farm will pay better. It can be tested and proven by anyone who thinks differently. • Persons exposed to summer heats and obliged to exercise in the sun should by all proper means endeavor to promote perspiration. Excessive drinking of ice water will not do this, though it will probably lower the vital temperature below the proper point; nor will distilled or fermented liquors bring about this healthy reaction against the heat, but water moderately cool and ut-ed freely will do it.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The council of Webberville has ordered the merchants of that place to clean the streets in front of their stores every Friday.

We would like to see more of our business men patronize the home printing office when in need of any kind of stationery instead of using tablets that are purchased of outside houses. Of course we may not furnish you stationery quite so cheap, but we will guarantee the work and quality just as good. You do not feel very grateful toward the person who, goes away from home to purchase goods when they can be bought at home, therefore it is no more than right that you should patronize the home printing office. Last Saturday Dr. McLean, assisteft by Dr. Henry and local talent, removed a larfletjrarian tumor of Mrs. C. Curtis. The tumor, which had been forming since last fall, had reached the stage of development where an operation was the only chance. Although diminished in size by tapping five different times, the operation disclosed the fc..j: that a larger delay might have beci fatal from bursting of the tumor, On account of the age and condition of tho patient the case was considered a critical one with chances, however, of recovery. The patient endured tho strain of a long and tedious operation, and the chances are now Yery favorable for recovery.—Livingston Republican. Sunday School Convention. As per announcement the township Sunday school convention was Jield in the M. E. church in this place on Friday for the purpose of organizing uii association in this township.

On Saturday, August 10th, will occur the laying of the corner stone of the new court house at Howell with appropriate exercises. Arrangements are being made for a nice time and a large crowd is expected to be present. Supervisor Lyman will act as vicepresident from this township. An Iralay City farmer attributes the unusually large crop of mosquitoes this summer to the absence of swallows. He says that ths wet, cold weather of the early spring starved these birds, so that where there were thousands last year there are none this. With the swallows the festive mosquito is a favorite lunch. Brick bats were flying through the air at a rapid rate in Howell on Tuesday morning of last week just because a number of Lansing men who are working on the new court house, wanted to '"run the town," but the local talent would'nt have that way, and the result was a number of sore heads and brused bodies. Barnard & Campbell have taken pes tary, A.'D. Bennett; Treasurer, J. IT. Forbes. The afternoon session beg,'.:1, at 1:30 o'clock and was Iargelv attended by our townspeople as well as many from cur sister towns.

PIKCKNET MICHIGAN Emma Eames, the American Sinsrer The great event of tho musical season in Paris has been the debut at the Grand Opera of our countrywoman Mies Emma Eames. This young lady was born at Boston and had t h e great advantage of having a mother who was a good amateur musician. When she discovered that her daughter was gifted with a splendid voice, she took? great care in training it, and later on brought her daughter to Paris, where she was placed in the hands of that distinguished teacher, Madame Marchesi, with whom she made rapid progress. Her musical education finished, she went to Brussels hoping to make a debut in that city. Several times she might have appeared in minor roles, but tho famous director of the Conservatoire of Brussels, M. Gwaert, dissuaded her, paying that she ought to make hoi' debut as a prima donna and nothing else. For a time she filled several minor engagements until at last she made her debut in grand opera in Paris, receiving the most enthusiastic reception. A decision which attracts wide attention in Utah and the territories has just been rendered by the courts of Idaho. The decision involves the /right of suffrage of those who at one time have been members of the Mormon church, but afterwards severed tjfcoir connection with it. Under the Edmunds law the right of citizen, ship is denied to po'ygamists. The Mormons have, however," evaded this provision by seemingly renouncing their allegiance to their faith. The case in question turned upon tho election of a sheriff in ono of the counties of Idaho chosen by tho votes of ex- Mormons, /.the court decided that such an cleetien was illegal, on the ground seemingly that once a Mormon always a Mormon, and consequently such votes were not to be counted. Should the case be carried to a higher tribunal and here the decision be reaffirmed, it would strike a blow at Mormonism which that sect could hardly survive The theory that tho jury system would be improved by selecting good men to sit in tho box seems to have roceived a severe blow in Trenton, Mo. On a trial there for murder they selected a minister of tho gospel to sit on the jury, The murder, a peculiarly cold-blooded ono, was proven beyond a doubt, and eleven of the jury voted at once lo convict the accused. The minister held out. He did not deny that the prisoner was guilty, but wanted to acquit him so that ho could be reformed. It is safe to say t h a t no moro experiments will be tried in Trenton with good men on the panel. . FOLKS WORTH KNOWING. T h o N o n - O f f l c l a l C e l e b r i t i e s of W a s h i n g t o n .

He is a man of polished manners and gaiters; of diffuso arid divergent eyebrows and concentrated speech.

Lincoln's secretary of the interior, nas b/on twice a member of the senate and editor of a Washington daily since then, and is now presiding judge of the Alabama claims court. Belknap, Grant's secretary of war, is practicing the profession of law with great success. All his old army comrades stick to him r.nd give him their unbroken confidence and their business, and he lives in aflluence. He h;is several grown-up boys and girls in his family. Horatio King, Buchanan's postmaster general, though almost 8) years old, is still straight, tall and light-footed, though he no longer practices at the bar. He goes into society, draws about him litorury people, indulges in reminiseenceses and writes for the press, criticising or suggesting. Ho is lean and tough, and may easily live to peep over into tha next century. H. C. King, the noted lawyer of Brooklyn, is his son. Judge Joseph Holt, who followed the flying Flood as Buchanan's faithful secretary of war, lives opposite the capitol. He has retired from active business and at 82 is nursing his rheumatic joints and laughing at the ways of the queer world. He takes an active interest in scientific progress and tries to "keep up with tho circus," as he calls it. His vast shock of gray hair, his high, broad brow and iirm jaw are familiar around the halls and galleries of the senate during sessions. Judge Holt had a curious experience not long since. Invitsd and even urged by a distinguished clergyman of Washington, one evening he attended a spiritual seance, to witness "materializations." When the spook appeared from behind the curtain in the dim light, he broke out, "I don't believe in it! It's somebody fixed up!" The ghost stood still, unabashed, and drew partially aside tho veil hiding tho features. "Well, who are you, anyhow?" inquired the distinguished skeptic. . "You know mo well!" exclaimod tho sepulchral voice, "1 am Mrs. Sur-ratC" Tho oTd-tnan gazed upon the notorious spectre with firm,.grey eye, unwinking, and did not let the trifling' circumstance that ho had hanged that iMy ^cloud his vision or confuse his brain. Mrs. Sun-alt, are you? How do you do, Ma'am?" said the gallant judgead vocato general. "Better," she replied, drawing the folds of tho celestial lleeeo more away from her face; "I am better." "O, bettor, aro you,11 ho answered with composure, " I am glad you aro better.'» GEOKfiK B A N t ' K O F T . Probably he thought of saying "Thorn wa^ room "for it." but was prevented by his noted urbanity and the reflection that his remark was sufficiently ambiguous. "You were guilty, were you not?" inquired the unllinching soldier. "Yes and no." she answered, to his surprise. "I was guilty of conspiracy to abduct Mr. Lincoln, but of tho plot to murder him I knew nothing." "Didn't Whitely carry you out that afternoon?" "No!" she exclaimed with energy. "It was proved in court," was the reply. -No!" "How was it, then?" "I carried him out. He was innocent." And so on and so on. It would be fruitless to report the evening, but it is understood that Judge Holt speaks ironically about the lady, and says he has no idea whether she came from the upper or nether regions. Our most distinguished literarian is. I suppose, George Bancroft. Ho lives in a fine double mansion near tho white house and likes to go to the president's receptions, where he is always a littlo volatile and hilarious. He is 80 years old now. He was Polk's secretary of the navy, in which capacity he not only established the naval school at Annapolis without any assistance from congress, and ordered the seizure of California without any authority from anybody, but he laid tho keels of several new boats and got them well on the stocks before he was superseded. The old man thinks he is at present writing a history of Polk's administration. It is a harmless and amiable delusion. He has arrived at an age when all men lack persistence of will and tenacity of memory. 1 found him in the congressional library, the hist time 1 was there, an open volume in his lap, his head leaned against the casement, sound asleep amid the hurrying throng. He and Corcoran used to scour all this region on horseback, and then Spofford succeeded Corcoran, but finally Bancroft got so that he could not lift his heavy leg to the stirrup tmd "Old Whitney" was sold a couple of m.D:ith; ago. F R A N K H A T T O V . Bancroft disposed of his horse, but he keeps in the front hall a bulldog that protects him from visitors. A member of congress from the south tells me of an attempt to get by this bulldog and carry to the great historian a messago from Mrs. Polk. "A nigger met me at the door," ho says, "I told him what I wanted and gave him my card. He said I couldn't see Mr. Bancroft, for he was busy writing, but mnybo I could see his privato secretary and he vanished up stairs. In about five minutes ho came down andsaid the private secretary couldn't see me either, for he was busy, too. I made a hurried movement to the foot of the stairs, when a IIuttering form appeared on the upper landing and looking over said: 'You can't see Mr. Bancroft, sir, and I myself mn very busy, 'indeed. What do you want,?' " 'Arc you Mr. Bancroft's private secretary?' 1 asked. " T am. sir,1 he replied with proper majesty and empi essmont. " 'Very well,' said I, 'I am only a member of congress, and am about to negotiate with this nigger, and probably shall resort to bribery, to inducts him to intercede v, t;h you to securo from you the distinguished honor of a brief audie n c e ' "At that the high-toned covo came down and lent mo one of his ears. Isn't it odd?" Bancroft has gone with his family to the--summer cottage at Newport. John H+vj' who lives a block further cast, directly'opposite the whlto house, has gone to Eimirtc-^vith his family. Ho has the handsomest houao in Washington, and a wifo and four children who rank with the house. Ho doos not pretend to be doing anything in a literacy wav oxcopf to prop;ire "Lincoln a History" for tho Century in collaboratio «-Nwith Nicolay. No'xfc door to Col. Hay and undor a similarXroof lives imd works Henry Adams,*}'oungo *t ton of Charles Francis Adams. Having got a status in the world of letters by producing admirable biographies of Albert Gallatin and John Randolph, ho is now maturing a history of tho life and administration of Jefferson, whoso p a r t i a n s we-o tho bittor personal foes of his gnat-grand father. lie has probably ea*st off tho ant ioathioa of his nn-.'ostors. and we know t i n t old John Adams was one of the mo it bigoted of men. but there is a good dial of curiosity as to tho quality of the product to bo distilled from the hell-broth of tho first decade of the century. Adams is a widower, 1 believe, and ho has now trinpedi>ff to the Paris exhibition with Hay. Col. Nicolay. Hay's literary chum, still lingers here, l'o • housekeeper ho has a lovely and vivicious daughter, scholarly and aesthetic in her tastes. "For lack of something else that I can do, I mess oils," she says, but eome of her paintings, nota'ily those of surf and shore, are- exceedingly good reflections of nature's own moods. Sho and her father think of going and sitting on tho Nuntucket sands for a couple of months. I called at the Nicolay home yesterday. The author is busy reading the proofs of the history of Lincoln running in the Century and editing "Tho Works of Abraham Lincoln," to bo published next year by the same house. The present running history will Gnish in March next—a little over three years long. "For the forthcoming book," said Nico'ay, "wo havo already about 1.500 entries of Lincoln's original documents, ranging from a message or a speech to a letter three lines long. The whole will be abundantly annotated." The widow of tho poet, N. P.

The death of Maria Mitchell, which occurred on tho 28th ult. at Lynn, Mass.. removes tho last one of tho three great women astronomers whoso achievements in their special domain have added much to the glory of this century of scientific progress: Carolino Herschel and Mary Somerville, tho other members of the t: io, having long sdnce passed awiiy, the former in 1848, tho latter in 187:.'. "I was born with only ordinary ability," wrote Mary Mitchell once to a friend, "but with cxtrao"din;iry persistence." And this more than anything else that can be said c,ives the s e e e t of her greatness. Sho was born at Nantucket, that old sea-faring town that se?ms to havo possessed the right atmosphere and associations for the development of strong character. Her home surroundings were congenial, her father having a scientific bent, and the rest of the famly being iuel'ned in tho same direction. It was not with the purpose of bocoming an astronomer that Miss Mitchell began the study of tho science she h;is since dona so much to further. As Caroline Herschel became eagerly interested by assisting her brother, so she in aiding her father found the field in which she was to distinguish herself. Her first achievement of importance was tho discovery of the new telescopic comet in 1817, for which she received the prize offered by the King of Denmark. Miss Mitchell did not know of tho prize being offered, and though overjoyed at her success, she was in no haste to publish the discovery to tho world. A few days later her father, writing to his friend Prof. Bond, of Cambridge, is "pleased to inform his friend that Maria, while scanning the heavens a few nights since, discovered a new comet five degrees above Polaris." The father adds that it will gratify Maria if his dear friend can find time to write to her. Tho same comet was discovered a few nights later by other astronomers, in this country and in Kurope, and it was only through the efforts of Edward Kverott that Miss Mitchell's priority of discovery was established and tho prizo awarded to her. James Burton, the historical writer, asks if/{here is anything in tho study of astronomy that tends to prolong life, and cites the fact that Carolino Herschel lived to bo 'J8 years of age, and Mrs. Somerville, 1)2. Miss Mitchell was nearly 72 years old. It is not to bo supposed that astronomical studies will add years to one's life, but the ripe age to which the.-e women attained proves that if hacd ;iud persistent mental work does not prolong the life of woman it certainly does nothing to shorten it- — Milwaukee Wisconsin.

K E N T U C K Y M O U N T A I N E B A Vi«lt t o a T y p i c a l F a m i l y Bullskln C r e « k . It was early in tho morning of a perfect April day that we went down the road that leads to the banks of the Bullskin—a creek that traverses & part of Eastern Kentucky, wri correspondent of tho Wash Star. It was a charming ride th tho mists and shadows of the morning. Our destination was house of an old man named Barger. It was a quaint old pi ice, much cleaner than tho houses in that country usually are, with the remarkable luxury of an "up-stairs." Old Mrs. Barger was preparing dinner when we arrived, and we sat down to dine at 10 o'clock in the morning, told the family that we dined at h about eight hours later than that, they would not believe i t Most of the party belonging to t h * geological survey set off immediately for the mountains, but I spent the long afternoon reading, napping and chatting with old Mrs. Barger. She busied herself about the stove, which, w k h the dining table, wa< undor a shed in the yard, and sang old-time hymns in tho hijhost voica I ever heard. She suddenly stopped singing and asked rae if I had ever hoard t h a t "hime11 before, a id whilo I was trying to guess at her meaning she explained by saying that s h i got it from an old "himo-book" that was nearly a hundred years old. She was un active old woman, the mother of many stalwart sons and daughters. One of the latter, a strapping bare-legged lass of 18, had just gone to tho creek with tho family laundry. This is quito a serious m tter. particularly for the clothes. Thoy scrub them in the water, then pound them with heavy paddle* tiil their ideas of cleanliness arc satisfied*. It takes good homespun to bear such heroic t r e a t m e n t In the evening I joined the group sitting about the fire waiting far supper. They wore "tho boys" come in from the farm work with several neighbors who had boon help-, ing. Darkness had fallen, and the mon about tho fire were as silent and sedate as only a group of mountianeers can be. Tho silence was suddenly broken by tho entran :e of a hale, hearty, old man, whom all tho party addressed as grand pap and treated with great respect. Tb.3 old man placed himself with utmost care on a stool near the fire, and waited until Mrs. Barger h;id resume I her work at the tiro, and tho men had gone back to chewing their "long cut" and to silence; then he looked about him with an uir of enjoyment, and slowly remarked: "I lay I'mgoin1 to leave this creek." "Why*, what's the matter, grandpap?" came in a chorus from all sides, for grandpap had been a landmark oa the creek before any of them were born. "Cause,11 he repliod, cause it ain't safe fur nobody as lives on this croek; it ain't safe." 'The men sat upright for a moment and forgot to chew, the bacon b u r n ' t unnoticed on the stove, and after enjoying the suspense for a moment, the old man continued in his soft drawl: . "Bud Simpson has done beat J o e Batter's wife all to pieces with a fence rail, and run off an lef1 her fur dead." Various exclamations came from all sidos, while I sat by and listoucd to tho details of what seem id to me to be a shocking assault. Grandpap explained, with slow care how t h i quarrel originated with the "dawgsand tho h:iwgs," and finally concluded by r e - peating, " I tell ye I goin' to leavo the croec; it ain't safe.'1 Mrs. Barger returned to her bacon with tho astuta observation, '{Wall, that boats my time," and took no further part in tho conversation, but tho mon wore thoroughly arousod and discust-o 1 tho outrage with solemn eagerness. One tall fellow, who soomod to bo a man of soms importance, reuchod quite a fevor of excitement, and all tho littlo circled stopped to listen when h3 delivered h opinion. "A man ain't no right to beat a woman with a fenco rail. A man shouldn't beat none of my women folks with a foncerail. If Bud Simpson wanted to beatTildy Baker, why didn't he take his fist an' beat her. A man ain't no right to beat a woman with a fence rail. Ho orter to have took his fist." Tho party all agreed that punishment with the fist was the proper moio for women, and silence soon reigned again. & *-l'V.f »?:. * * Would 'Not Do.

BEMETT, EDITOR 1ND PROPRIETOR Pinckney, Michigan, Tnur»o»y, August at, 15»y. Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, J ULY 30, 18S9. With everyone that can Ret away from this Deer Park to the Departmental messenger who has goue down the river for a dsrVs outing, Washington has a nearly deserted appearance on Sunday. The houses along Connecticut avenue are closed for the summer, and that thoroughfare, which is wont to be the afternoon parade ground of fashion on foot and in carriage, showed yesterday only a few solitary wayfarers. Pennsylvania avenue, democratic as it is respecting its loiterers at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon in raid-summer boasted only a few apologetic passers by, who are wondering why they did'nt go out of town themselves. The sidewalks were as hot as frying pans the asphalt pavements seemed to sizzle under the July sun yesterday. At the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and seventh street is a rride space, where hacks stand on week days and which boasts a curiously sh'aped drinking fountain which was erected five years ago by some Western man *nd which has never by any chance contained water since its first month's existence. If there is any breeze in the business part of the city it is here. Across this deserted space at 3 o'clock comes a wiry lame little old colored man, with a Bible under his arm and without any preliminaries he kneels down beside the fountain and prays long and earnestly. A score of loiterers slowly gather around him, and lie commences to harangue them. His sermon is rather'long, and is like the efforts of most old colored preachers. extremely doctrinal and tfio text is taken from revelations. We concludes by getting the Johnstown horrors in some mysterious jumble mixed with the use ot wine among Congressman. The score of loiterers that have gathered are now doubled and as t,itcolored man departs, a Ion*: haired white man with a lot of mam moth black charts conies into view. Thesecharts have ship* drawn on them and mountains and pyramids with novel lettering scattered about. The white man begins his discourse without prayer and for a half hour explain.-, tbe.pictures on the chart, the whole thing appearing to be an object lesson, treating, of the deliverance of the children of Israel out of bondage. The white man is not an exhorter, and, indeed, he becomes so much interested in his subject and,wanders so far into speculation that he- has no time for exhorting before he is interrupted. A huge wagon is drawn up by six horses into the center of the pleza. There are fully twenty people, men and women seated in the wagon, and there is also a small organ. A sound of a concert is hear striking the first notes of "Nearer My God to Thee" and the people in the wagon commence to sing. By this time, people are just coming by from the post-office where the Sunday evening delivery hjour is on, and the crowd asaumes^respectable proportions. iSpeech^aner speech is made relative to^pe'rsonal experiences. the quality^ofihe speeches being perhaps mote of a matter of astonishment than the experience. Some are really able and some are really drivel. With a parting song, in which many in the crowd join,, tho wagon, with its great gilt letters "Gospel Wagon1' glistening in the setting sun is whirled away. For the last half hour, waiting patiently on one side is a group of four •or five womefl and a half dozen men. They are cheaply and coarsely clad, and the women's faces bear the brand of care and worry. These people belong to the Salvation Army and are waiting their turn to take possession of the square. They stand there perfectly stolid. One young Austrain among them, with the most intensely stupid face I ever saw, tries to sell a few copies of the "War Cry" the official organ of the Army, which he carries under his arm. When the wagon has gone away, they all kneel down and the Captain, who is a young woman, prays in a shrill, piping treble.* When she is thorough it is dark, and the little group commences to sing some sort of religious verses to the air of "I'll meet Ler when the sun goes down," So it goes on for an hour, the singing and praying and exhorting, until the women's voices are faint and the crowd gets tired out and departs. Then this miserable reminent of a shabby army slinks off to ned uo dirty alleys and into poverty stricken houses, and yet happy in enthusiastic and unwavering adherence to their "cau&e." What fesv of the churches that retain their Sunday night services, have discharged their eongre«ation3 and no sound breaks silence except an occasional street car, until the belated excursion boats come in at nearly midnight. A parly of heavy drinking "sports," who have been put among the road houses all day, cross the deserted plaza and stop to whistle and jeer at a wretched drunkci woman of the town, who finally sits down at the foot of the abandoned fountain, to wait for a policeman to arrest her. Surely the former religion that has been offered there to-day, have a work to do. 2 i BUJOW NQNNS MMKM l a t h u tick HMdaett*, Torpid Uv*r, Constipation. Hdalarla, Chill.

CHAS. FISHHKCK, (A true copy.) J udgo of Probate. A Lonely Old H a n . I saw an old-fashioned one-horM carriage driving down the avenue today. Tim body stood high on it* spring*, the paint waa rusty, and tha curtains were ripped here "and there and were sagged and blistered. It was drawn bv a Htiff-legged white horaa that walked with the dignity of aga and distinguished service. The driver, an old colored man, wore no livery,bat wore a linen coat and a bigb-crowned stiff-brimmed straw hat that were tha counterpart—except for longer service —of the coat and hat worn by the old gentlemen who sat alone on the back seat of the carriage. On the front seat was a market basket The old gentleman was a strikinglooking person. He appeared to belong to a paat age, as did his horse, his carriage, and his driver. The whole rig seemed to have just come from the seclusion of sorrow and to be in mourning for the dead bygones. The old man's locks were heavy and lon», but white with age. The broad shoulders were stooped and the face wore an expression of deep abstraction and utter loneliness. It was a strong face, with a heavy forehead and determined chin, but marked throughout with lines of sorrow. The old man is Judge Holt, who was in Buchanan's Cabinet, and was afterwards Judge Advocate General. He lives in great seclusion in a large house on Capitol Hill, surrounded ia part by a brick wall and in part by a high iron fence. He^'drives out in this old rig to the market, but he goes nowhere else, has no'companions, and I have never seen Itrni stop his carriage to speak with any one, or even to look from the window to. bow. His house stands on a high terrace with considerable ground around'lt, and within ita gate his old servant is his only companion.-— Washington Letter. ^ WHERE DYE COMES FROM. V e g e t a b l e S u b s t a n c e s a n d C o l o r s D U e o v * e r e d b y t h e C h e m l a t a . The sudden advance in the art of dyeing has been due to the general cause that lias contributed so "much to civilization during tho last hundred «iears. It has been duo to the discoveries in chemistry. Through all the many centuries of history the world knew only of natural dyes, and down to the beginning of tho present century, or rather till past the middle of this century, it still busied itself with the discovery of new natural agents. It had found indigo, cochineal, logwood, madder, quercitron bark, tuimacb, Brazil wood, .and othexvegetable or wood dyes, and it is learned by various means to be more or less successful, by tho use of chemicals in a process technically known as mordanting, in making permanent the colors produced by these agents. But it had not learned to distil color from the elements. It could reach only the boundaries of an empire that was not yet won. Finally, the chemist Unverdarben discovered aniline, a purely chemical agent, tho distillation from coal-tar. This discovery opened the way for an industrial revolution which is perhaps even yet only in the infancy of its movement. This happened hi 1826. But the utility of tho discovery was not kuown until many years later. It was not until the year 18o8 that tho tint kuown as Perkins's purple, a product of aniline, followed soon afterward by aniline red, or magenta, became known. Then tho revolution was fairly inaugurated, and since this latter date the advance has-.been rapid. All that is most brilliant in color is credited to this new chemical agent. But tiie body of the art remains unchanged. What are technically known as tho wood dyes have more substance and permanency than the aniline dyes. Indigo still forms the basis for blue. The scarlet on the coats of the British soldiery, warranted not to run, is mainly produced from cochineal; madder is the basis for crimson red and turkey red, and yellow is produced b}' fustic, quercitron barks or its concentrated extract called tlavine, and from Avignon or Persian berries. The mordriots remain also unchanged. Chief among them is the oxide of tin, called tin spirits by the trade. This fixes the scarlet colors founded upon cochineal; but alum is used as a mordant for crimson red, and eherVv red is produced with a tin mordant lor ammonical cochineal. Turkey red is produced from madder on an aluminous basis. Thus ran the formula in the old art of dying, and thus it runs still. Aniline is" rather a reinforcement than an independent agent. Prussian blue, however, is purely a chemical product, and its ai scovery antecuueu me QI»- covery of aniline colors. But after the production of the simple or primary colors comes tho prodution of the infinite variety of tints that go to make up tho total used in the industrial arts. In this work the process of the dyer dillers from the pro* cess of the painter rather in the means of execution than in the principles ou which ho works. Does tho dyer wish to produco a greeu fabric? He may mix indigo (blue) with fustic or quercitron bark (yellow), handling at the same time the mordants iu accordance with the teachings of the best experience, and the result will be of the desired color. Does he want orange? The dyes that produce yellow and red will give him an orange fiber., aud by tho same process of combination he may have purple, violet, mruKe, gray, drab, black, or any one of>>I. Chevreul" s lo.OOO chromatic tints. But he should be a man with a trained eye, and a person who is color-blind will hardly nutk* -s^vr.—Kew York Sun, NOTICE!

Crawford wan returning from the races in Detroit the other evenmgund, when near the coruer of lieaubien alreel and Clinton avenue, came up to u buggy containing two men. Crawford asked the men to allow him to pass, when the men whipped their horse and attempted to prevent Crawford driviug past thein. Craw ford remonstrated witn the men for so cruelly b«atiog the r horse, when one of the men jumped from the buggy und at tacked Waiter Mason, a young man who was with Crawford. Mason not feeling inclined to ti.-riit ran about one hundred leet, but finding one of the ruftians close behind him turned ami showed resistance. His pursuer then hit him two or three times, knocking him iuio the middle of the street. The companion of Mason's assuilant drove close to the curbstone at the corner of Macomb street and Clinton avenue and springing from the buggy attacked Crawford He opened on ihe old man by knocking him down, and followod up the outrage by kicking him in the ribs and abdomen. By this l.me toe beginner of the tight had worsted Mason, and the two brutes jumped into the buggy and drove off, turning down Clinton avenue, toward Orat.ot avenue. Mason, uj on returning to where Crawford lay, found him unconscious and hastened to the county jail ;o telephone for the Emergency ambulance. He also no'dtied the police of tho light. By the time the ambulance got to tho scene of the disturbance, a large crowd hail congregated, but no one seemed to be able to give a description of Crawford's assailants. The injured man was taken to the Emergency bospit d where it was found he was fatally iu.ured. A short time after his arrival the physicians in charge of the hospital concluded he could not live and teiepuoned that fact to police headquarters. Koundsmen Spillane and Irving were sent out to investigate the case and subsequently Sergt. Culver, chief of the detectives, and Detective Baker began work on the aifair. About titteen minutes after reaching the Emergency hospital, Crawford died from injuries. The physicians could find no marks about the head indicating a fracture of the skull, and attribute his death to a wound in the groin, which evidently resulted from a kick with a heavy boot, Hog-an Lost. There is no longer any doubt but that Ed. Hogan, the Jackson aeronaut, who mad.1 the ascension in the Campbell air-ship from Brooklyn, N. Y., the other day, is lost. Hogau had his parachute with him, but he did not take it with him in the air ship. Campbell did not throw into the little car in which Hogan sat a life preserver. The big si hip rose swiftly, Hogan turning tbe crank which governed the fan propeller under the car. The idr-ship went up perpendicularly for about TOO feet, and then stopped. The machinery was evidently not in perfect order. The ship sailed off to the north, and then to the east, and theu sou red over to the southeast. The people who watched it were at a loss to understand this course, for it was Prof. Hogan's plan to sail over to New York, to balance the ship over tho newspaper office, and thus to show to the world what a success the air ship was. Everybody who saw the air ship sail away was confident that the ship had lost it* power of steering, and was simply a balloon. Campbell has been tinkering away at his air ship for 81) ye rs or more, and says that the ship < ost W,000. The only hope now indulged is that Hogisii may have been picked up by a ves gel at sea.

William Hogan of Jackson, brother of E. D. Hogan, tho loat aeronaut, madn a balloon ascension in St. Thomas, Out., th> other day, going 4,01)() feet high, and hid a narrow escape from death. Tho top guy rope of the balloon became fastened to the parachute, and it w s not until the balloon had reached within DO.) feet of the ground in its descent that the aeronaut was able to shake the rope off. Had he jumped before making the dis overy, the balloon would have turned over upon the parachute, driving it to the ground, and instant death would have been thoresul'. Hogan alighted upon a stone, breaking two ribs, and was dragged 5U feet, bruising his s.de and shoulders. Couldn't JStaml Cramps. DaviJ U. Palmer, who was sent to,state prison from Gratiot county for 20 years for murder, tried to make his escape the other day.

Plaintiffs claim that they comraeted with the defendant* to have :^,000.000 feet of logs s .wed by them but only 2,000,000 feet of the lumber was returned. Defendants disclaim liability for the 1,000,000 deficit, upon the ground that the logs escaped from their boom. Weekly Crop Report.

So he cast about a commonplace topic. "How do you like the country?'' h e inquired, somewhat hastily; and Miss Loiwent glanced up quickly, as though in surprise at his change of manner, but & ho was .i.t slow to take up the new Bub.eet "How do I like the country?" she >e I mockingly, but with a ig smile which took of the edge satire, "How does one like aiter feast:ng—small beer after Fling Moselle!** Tell me that and I wIH tell you how I like the country !" Tom laughed. " I don't tind it so bad," he said. »'Xo, because you are accustomed to notlnug else. But I always piae whon away lrom London." "Are you vovy gay there?" "Oh, \es!"—with an ination, and that wicked flash in her eyes which gained her some enemies and friends, but manv admirers. "Gay! I should think soV1 "Don t you ever get—tired?" hesitatingly. "You would not say so if you had lived there!" But seeing him look unconvinced, she added archly, "Wou.d you be tired of dancing all through the night with a pretty girlP" She was holding her head on one side to get a view of his down-bent face. Tom, turning, caught her in the a c t "Not if it were you,"" he said, looking straight into h e r o e s . •She laughed, turning away coquettishly for a moment "Oh, Mr. Berkeley! Now, what a mercy Mrs. Stephenson was not here to hear t h a t She would have been shocked!" " I shouldn't care! And I don't see what there is to be shocked a b o u t " "She would say I was teaching you all sorts of naughty things."

But you must not come so often .as to make the others laugh at us." "Oh, I don't carp for thera!" ho said although he flushed, deeply.

Mary's had tome up foragossip.and eut there, ! brother—Lieutenant Trflgelles." Tom having the discourse almost entirely pronounced his nanu with pride. "A to herself, in her deep mellow tones. If Miss Derwent felt vexed for a moment as hhe greeted the old lady instead of the young man whom shu had expected to sue, she did not betray her feelings. CHAPTER III. R. Rowland arrived in time for tea. Miss Turtell and Tom also sUiid, pressed by Mrs. Stephenson. It was dark be'ore they had finished tea; and Mi.sa Turtell wanted to go home immediately afterwards, as she was expecting a friend to call; so it was arranged that Mr. Rowland, in company with hii Jiawux, should escort Miss Turtell home. It was a be uliful warm October evening, with a young moon rising, and promised well lor a stroll. Miss Derwent said as much, and hinted thru she would like to make one of the party, when she way checked by Mrs.Stephenson's nods and winks and emphatic whispers. "You see, my dear, Louisa and Mr. Rowland will bo lone after seeing Miss Turtell home; and I always make a little allowance in these affairs. You would not care for their company then, so fond as they are of one anotuer." MifcS Derwent raised her eyebrows as though slightly incredulous; but fhe was compelled to give up the point and stay in the lighted drawing-room with the others. She turned away and looked at a book with that bored expression that she had worn in the morning before meeting Tom. "Could I do anything to amuse you —to entertain you?" Tom asked. "Yes," she answered, recovering herself. "We will sit on the sofn, and you shall talk to me '—sitting down as she spoke, and making room for him at her side. Tom was quite willing. To be near her, to talk to her, even before others, and only of commonplace things, was a delight. Mrs. Stephenson-sank into an easy-chair with a book, and Phyllis sat down at the piano. "Now you young people must try to amuse yourselves until Louisa and Mr. Rowland come back," the widow observed comfortably; '"then we will have some singing—with his line voice to help us." "I wonder what you- do with yourself all day? ' queried Miss Derwent of her companion on the sofa, under cover of "Sacred Memories." "Oh, nothing particular," ho replied. "And I suppose you will always be doing" 'nothing particular,1 as you are the eldest son?" "Oh, I don't know about that! We're too poor; Dan and I will both have to turn out. " "Dan is your little half-brother, is he not?" Tom nodded. "And I suppose.you are very fond of each other?" "Oh, he's a jolly little chap enough," said Tom tranquilly. "Can you remember your own mother?" she pursued. "It must bo a long while sinoo «ho died." .."Yes—fifteen years; she died when Agnes -was only a week old. No, I can't remember her at all." "Just as wett--. perhaps"—gently. "It certainly must lielp. you to look kindly upon the present Mrs* Berkeley, and—smooth away many difficulties." "Oh, she's all right onough." re-, joined Tom cheerfully. "She JjeCps Agnes in order and she dcu>Hi*l interfere with mo." Miss Derwent 5*ughed. leaning back a<g^nst the cushions, her pale face outlined against the dark velvet. "Is that the passport to your fancy?" she inquired. "What?*' demanded Tom. staring at her. "Well"—comprehending her the next moment—'•'in some cases it is." "Then I think I will ,go and join Phyllis at the piano," sho began laughingly. "I won't let you," interrupted Tom boldly; something in iior look or manner as sho spoke .thus lightly made him forget his shyness and selfdistrust. "Well"—'.aughing—"I .am not going to measure my strengLh against yours."' "My strength, such ai it in, is on your side, at your service, and ever shall be!" he said, bonding a little nearer. She laughed lightly again. "Now if wo ware back in the days of chivalry," sho said, "and you were my knight and wore ray favor on your helmet, that promise might be put to the test." "It might be ovon now,"' ho replied eagerly. "If there wore to be a war in anothor yo.ir or two, it might fall to my lot to do'end you with my sword, and I would die before danger should come near you!''—his eyes dilating as ho spoke. But Miss Derwent seemed not to hoed his passionate declaration. though she looked interested. "Why, aro you going 4nto the army?" she enquired. > lirst- rato fellow, I can tell you." "You mu.it alL think a great deal of him, of course. And do he and hi» sister make the manor their home?" "Oh, no; Mary has nevor lived with us before when he has been away—• they have a nice place in Buckinghamshire; but Mary's aunt, who used to live with her, died, and she could not make up her mind to st .- there alone or to have a stranger for a companion; so she came here to us and we were very glad to have her." "No doubt you were! How anxious she must be about her brother! She must long to see him back again safe and sound!" "She does not worry about him a bit But Mary is more sensible than some girls, and sho doesn't make everybody miserable talking about her feelings. She knows its of no use to expect him just yet—unless, o^course" —with instinctively lowered tones — "he should be invalided home.'1 "Oh, wo must hope that won't happen!" "I think Mary talks to the Vicar about him nsoro than to us," confided Tom. "Oh, does she?"—in a tone of surprise. "Well, you see. he and Mary are spoons on one another." "Indeed? I shouldn't have thought it!" "You wouldn't? Well, I'm surprised! I thought you understood all about such things," he ventured to say smilingly, with a desperate ctTort_ to turn the conversation to hits 'e-vvn advantage. "Now why should you imagine that?" she enquired. "Oh, I can hardly tell you—you look as if you did!"—with sudden boldness, followed immediately by a feeling of ab.ect fear that ho might havo otTended her past all forgiveness. But she did not look offended; she smiled at him, shaking her head. "Bad boy!" sho said; and Tom. emboldened by the manner in which she pronounced these words, took her hand In his. "I sha'n't let you go until you say I am good!" ho whispered. But, Phyllis rising and coming towards them as the same moment,he had to relinquish his hold; and Miss Derwent looked inlo^his face and laughed triumphantly, while tho boy returned h e r g a ' e , unable to smile, trembling from bend to foot. The bethrothed couple made their appearance ksooner than was expected, as though they had not found each other s society so vory absorbing after all. Miss Derwent eyed them shrewdly as they caino in, and so did the anxious mother. Mrs. Stephenson was well aware that Louisa was heavy iu a prolonged toto-a-tete. "So that is what you have been doing ever since we left you?" observed Mr. Rowland somewhat quizzically to Miss Derwent, going straight over to the sofa, while Louisa went away to take oil' her things. "Yes—idling away ourtime for want of something bettor to do,*" she responded, looking up in'o Mr. Howland's face. "Why, what would you call^some thing better?" he rejoined. "A good many things, I should think'," interposiidr^ii'S. Stephenson blandly. "Yo'u know I don t approve of tlve>er^ldle Sunday evenings; but wjtdCcluuvh at three o'clock in the "ufternoOn-^-a barbarous hour!-—what is one to ao?-'—appealing to her prospective soa-in-Iitw^ "One cannot read all the time—at least my naughty girls don't—and they get tnild'ng-^not always upon Sunday subj-ects either" —indulgently. "I am afraid I am as bad," confessed Mr. Rowland, speaking to Mrs,-,-- Stephenson but looking at Miss Derwent, who kept her face turned to him, and WHS smiling bewitehingly. "Ah, yes," said the widow., shaking A GRAPHIC S T O R Y . H o w the L i m i t e d E x p r e s s Escaped D e s t r u c t i o n In t h e Great Disa s t e r .
