Keir and Tretty Fancy Woik Tlia TrlnccM, President and Royal Uolster CasUIons. Cushions have nlv.-ays cflorded scope for pretty fancy work, and it appears likely that they will long continue to do so. Several no-nr shapes and styles have been introduced lately. Tho princess head cushion is very ornamental, particularly when it is mado in two shades of Indian silk, richly embroidered and finished with ribbons, -which hold it in place upon the chairback. Doublo cushions aro also much in vogue at present, for, by their equal adjustment of weight, they can not slip. One of theso doublo cushions is en titled the "President," and is covered vrith salmon colored silk, beautifully worked it) silks, with a floral design outlined in gold. The "Royal Bolster" shape is also a favor ite. It is ornamented with bands of work, and tho ends aro of sill: set in very full. In suede leather work we have noticed several tasteful examples. This soft leather, in tones of mouse gray and fawn color, adapts itself appropriately to bright needlework. News paper racks, Bradshaw covers, letter books and wall pockets aro now being treated in this style. Plenty of gold is employed to en liven tho general effect; tassels and fringes aro also employed to give it the requisite finish. Vanilla Sandwiches. Take the weight of three eggs both in sugar and in Hour, boil tho sugar to a sirup with a little water, and in tho meantime whisk the three eggs in a basin standing in another one full of boiling water; then' add tho sugar which has been boiled, and go on whisking till it becomes a thick cream; then lightly mix in tho flour, flavor with a little essencs af vanilla, and when quite smooth put it in a flat buttered tin and bul:o for about thirty minutes. When cold, cut it out in small shape3 and cut each piece in half horizon tally; spread a little jam on tho lower pieces, join them together and ico tho top with the following icinsr: Put tho unbeaten whites of two eggs in a basin, and add gradually half a pound of icing sngar, beat it with a spoon till it becomes very light and hangs in flakes from tho spoon, then flavor with a few drops of vanilla. Fried Shad with Saacs Piquante. Split tho fish as for broiling, and with a sharp knife divido it into pieces nearly as wide as your hand. P.oll these in beaten yolk of egg, whon you havo salted and peppered each then, in finely powdered cracker, also salted and peppered, and sot them on tho ico for three or four hour3. Fry them in deep fat to a yellow brown, drain off every drop of greaso and lay lengthwise on a hot fish dish. To make tho sauce, beat up three table spoonfuls of butter to a cream, with threa tablespoonfuls of lemon juico (strained), mix in, at tho last, tho same quantity of finely minced parsley, boating all together until the sauco is green. Have ready eight half lemon3, emptied of pulp and juice, fill lightly with the sauce, and lay about the fish when served. At a TJoardln? Hnnse. Scientific Boarder There aro no nerves of taste in tho roof of the mouth. If we wish to get the full taste of of bread and sirup, for instance, we must put it in tho mouth with tho sweec sido down. Practical Boarder Ah! I suppoo that is why we all eat this bread and butter with the battered side up. New York TVeeldy. rorcthonsht. She Oh, horrcrsl He What is it, darling!

As to Oklahoma's officers, it appears that President Harrison has not been backward in using his slate-rag.' The president has announced to his friends that ex-Congressman George "W. Steele, of Indiana, will be governor of Oklahoma. Andrew Lang says he never found an American who told poor stories. 3Ir. Lang has never frequented our halls of congress much. It is apparent that the members of the house can not see that our American author should have liis books protected. American authorship in fact, is not an infant industry. General Butler thinks the prospects of the farming interests are gloomy, very gloomy. We advise his generalship to hold down the lid of that once defective optic and look again. Senator Ingalls says that Grover Cleve land is the Democratic Joss. As joss sticks are on the free list there doesn't teem to be any reason why the Democrats should not lire up and goon with the worship. There is a report that Emperor "Will iam, of Germany, is coming to America. The absence of any statement that he has been offered a fabulous sum for a series of lectures, throws a veil of falsity about the rumor, however. All of the political economists are pre dicting bright times in the near future for the farmer. It is thought that wheat will go above a dollar before the season is over and that it will go much higher before it is ever lower. Elections will be held today in all the cities and towns in Indiana except those that have special provisions otherwise in their charters. So far as Ave have ob erved no special significance of general interest is attached to them. Besides losing over a thousand dollars fit poker, Honri 'Watterson recently had a race horse named after him. This may not be a divine visitation on Mr. "Watter son, but it never pays any man to speak tmcomplimentary of Kansas com. The Atlanta Constitution says that when northern men travel in the south they have their eyes shut. This appears to bo a liltlo presmnptuous on this jdurnal's part, iu boosting up the super iority of southern "science" in pugilism. The fondness of actors for "Hamlet" is explained. Professor Eolfo has counted nnd finds that Hamlet speaks 1.5C9 lines. The nearest Shakespearean character to this is Richard III, with 1,1G1 lines. This also explains, iierhaps, why the great play is such a play among amatuers. Judge Guthrie, of Topeka, has decided that upon the death of a husband, the wife not only inherits title to one-half the real estate, hut inherits the shares for children who died in infancy; and that where a daughter marries and died with out children, her husband inherited her share. This is a new decision. The boycott against the business of Postmaster-General "Wanamaker, which was instituted by the citizens of Athens, Ga., becaubo of the appointment of a negro to thepostmatershipof that town, has been declared off and a letter prop erly mailed and directed will now reach its destination with all its whilom accu racy. It is estimated that the total disburse ments on railrond account during the present month will amount to $28,817, olG, while the payment on account of htate, county and municipal bonds and the stocks of various manufacturing cor porations will swell the total to $3",000, 000. That amount added to the general circulation ought to make ihe circula ting medium pretty plenty, for a time at least. It is said that suicides during the first miarter of 1800 have been greater in New York city than in any former similar peri od. Tho number reported is seventy one, and a New York paper, in referring to the matter is at a loss to determine the probable causes leading to such deaths. It finds that they occur mainly among the floating population, and that a huge proportion of thoe who were rescued from attempts at suicide, were from New England. The Kansas City Star says that "Wich ita's and Kansas City's boom of 1SS6-7 re sulted in much overdoing in many towns of Kansas. Without pausing to argue the point, we suggest that it didn't touch the towns in Missouri to any alarm ing extent. It further strikes us that when it comes to dilating on the antic results of booms the Star would find its applications more impressive and real istic if confined to the instance just oast of the Kansas state line. Congressman Kerr, of Iowa, has intro duced a bill to prevent the carrying of liquors of any kind into states where its bale is prohibited by state laws. That movement was expected, but it will do no good. Congress will not pass the bill, and if it should the supreme court would nullify it the moment it had an oppor tunity to pass upon it. The principle underlying the recent decision is not new; it is as old as creation and will stand through all time. The groat surplus reserve weekly quoted by the banks of Now York has been rapidly disappearing of late while those of western cities have been increas ing. New York in her blood sucking arrogance took to the notion a few niontlis since that the bottom had fallen out of the west and proceeded to exhibit her want'of confidence to the bankers of the west The result has been that the great bulk of bank deposits have been transferred to the western cities. The surplus of New York City on Saturday amounted to only a little over 3,000,000, while one bank in Chicago showed a de posit of upwards of twenty million. In the great financial stress now bearing down on the country Now York City is going to be shorn of hor prestige and of much of her power. BASE BALL VERNACULAR. A correspondent of the Boston Herald attempts to explain the reason why the German language is fast giving way to English in the parts of the west largely settled by Germans. It might be sup posed that the simple fact that English is the language of this country would be sufficient toaccount for this by no means extraordinary phenomenon. But this sapient observer ascribes it al together to base ball. He says that "the German base ball reports can not be un derstood in the German language, be cause there are no equivalents in that language for the teclinical terms used in describing base ball exercises," and he points out that '"the Milwaukee Herald confessed that it could not describe base ball games intelligently to yotmg Ger mans in their language." Therefore the young Germans are compelled to learn English in order to be able to read about the national game. This is an ingenious theory. But we do not see that the situation is much im proved for the German yonng men, even after they have sacrificed their mother tongue in their hunger for base ball in- formation. The English language will really stand them in little stead until they have gone further and mastered the base ball vernacular. They must learn that men and women are rarely seen at base ball games. Only "cranks' go there, and the majority of them see the game from the "bleaching boards.' There are very few pitchers in the game now; they are all "twirlers."' They do not pitch the ball; they send in "twisters'' or "famous curves'" until they are "pounded out of the box." The batsman, on his pars, often "fails to con nect with the curves," but sometimes ho "finds" the "twister," or "pops up a fly"; or, again, he may send a "skyscraper"' over the fence or go "flying out.' A special course in dialect is needed in order to enable one to understand the average base ball report. Or in lieu of this the German 3oung men and all other young men will find it advisable to read The Eagltj base ball reports, that are always intelligent and" intelligible. THE DEMAND OP LABOR. The conflict for the eight-hour day for laboring men is intensifying all over the world. Our telegraph columns of the past three or four days have shown that manv thousands of workingmen have laid down their tools and refuse to work except on the eight-hour basis. As in most cases the demand is for the same wages they have been receiving for ten hours' work, it involves an increase of 20 per cent in salary. This brings the mat ter squarely upon the basis of a money question. That those who employ Labor ers and skilled workmen would readily consent, in most instances, to a shorten ing of the time for work, if it also de creased proportionately the day's wages, there can be little doubt. But to reduce the time by a decrease of one-fifth, thus cutting off one-fifth of the service ren dered, and at the same time allow the daily wages the same, makes an advance of 20 per cent in the expense of labor to the employer and just that much gain to the employed. This is the great bone of contention, and the matter is thus re solved into a question of dollars and cents and is practically a con flict between capitalists, using the term in an accomodated sense. While the dollars of the employer are his capital, the time, physical powers and the knowledge as to how to use them, are the capital of the laborer and mechanic. The real conflict is as to the relative value and proportionate adjust ment of these two kinds of capital. The question also involves change in the productive agencies of the country. It reduces the producing power 20 per cent unless there shall be an increase of the number of operatives to this amount. So that in a given limit of time .there will be one-fifth less work accomplished than formerly and of course one-fifth less in the produced results. It is claimed by some that men will, on the whole, produce as much from eight hours as from ten hours work, and it does not appear unreasonable that this can be done, yet it is extremely improb ble that it will be. If the movement shall result in an increase of 20 per cent in the number of people employed in the industries of the country, and hence, a wider distribution of employ ment, it would seem that, in this partic ular, a great good will have resulted. On the other hand if the advance in ex pense to the employer shall prove to be such as shall render his business unprofit able, and thus tend to unsettle the sta bility of business enterprises and indus tries and close up manufacturing estab lishment tints reducing the demand for operatives and the opportunities for em ployment, and results will be decidedly injurious to the working classes and their last state will bo worse than the first. While there are a few lines of business which depend upon large forces of labor ing men as essential factors in their prosecution, that are making handsome profit, so that the capitalists engaged in them are accumulating wealth rapidly, the general average of business enter prises are conducted on the basis of small margins. The enterprise and business vim inherent in American blood have made this a necessity because of the strong competition everywhere prevail ing. By the death of Senator James B. Beejc the country loses one of its braniest and strongest men and the Democratic party its ablest representative, by odds, in public life. Although an intense par tisan, lie was always an honest man and moved only by conviction of what he understood to bo right, and this gaveliim a hold upon the confidence and respect of all such as few men have enjoyed. Such men, when they pass off the stage of action, cause a vacancy that is never filled at once. The nation mourns tin? death of James B. Beck. The Leavenworth Times calls attention to the fact that the pint bottle decision of the supreme court, if it kills prohibi tion, also kills license. "If the right to import into a prohibition state meant the right to sell in that state, it means the same thing in a license state." Of course it does; but it don't mean that the busi ness of selling cannot be regulated the same as any other business by any in corporated municipality, and assertions and insinuations to the contrary are all bosh, and given, out for a purpose. But the arbitrary, rule-or-ruin policy of the nultra prohibition element is cotrarv to correct principles and wont win. Curtis' bill to abolish capital punish ment passed the New York assembly last Thursday by the astonishing vote of 75 to 29. Probably general disgust over the tortuous legal doings in the Kemm ler case had much to do with the result. The Star says the .bill has an excellent chance of getting lost in the rush of the closing days in the senate. Oklahoma will increase the number of territories to six, but the admission of Wyoming and Idaho to statehood, which will take place tills year, will reduce the list to four, says the Globe-Democrat. A good many years will pass before the number reaches eight again, as it was be fore the creation of the four new states in 1889. In fact, there will hardly ever be a chance for the territories to go be yond four or five in number at the out side again, for before Alaska becomes thickly settled enough to be divided into three or four territories, those now exist ing will have passed into the council of commonwealtlis. The National Educational association and Council of Education will hold then next annual convention at St. Paul, Min nesota, 'July 4 to 11, 1890. Hon. James H. Canfield, of Lawrence, Kansas, is president of the association. It is ex pected that there will be 20,000 teachers present from all points of the union and Canada. The railroads have agreed to sell tickets to St. Paul and return for one lowest first class single rate for round trip, plus S2, membership fee. Open to all persons. The most complete arrange ments are being made to give the teach ers a splendid welcome to the northwest, and to make the mepting a grand success. Who will succeed the late Senator Beck, is a question that interest Ken tucky, not only, but the country at large. There is no lack of willin' Barkises in the state of Bourbon and bluegrass, beauty and belegerancy, to serve the state and nation in that honored station, but will it be the luck of Proctor Knott, Jim McKenzie, Bill Lindsay, Tom Hines or Governor Buckner to catch the plum, or whether the Kentuckians shall be able to induce ex-Speaker Carlisle to accept the position, remain to be seen, Mr. Carlisle could have had the seat now occupied by Joe Blackburn if he had but consented six years ago, but he occupied a more de sirably and responsible position (speaker of the house) at that time and declined with thanks. He is just a plain member of house now and might be persuaded to accept a transfer to the other end of the capitol, though this is improbable, as such a transfer would cut his chances of a transfer to the other end of the avenue, and Mr. Carlisle is not beyond the age of expectancy, politically speaking. In speaking of the late decision of the United States supreme court in regard to the importation of liquor into prohibition states, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "It is probable that in the coming congresion al campaign prohibition will come to the front in a practical way. for the first time in national politics." That will de pend largely upon the action or non action of the present congress on that question. That an effort will be made to pass a measure covering the recent de cision on the question is already settled, a bill of that purport having been intro duced. If that or something similar should fail with the Fifty-first congress it is reasonably certain that the question will bo forced into the next congressional election, as the leaders of the prohibition sentiment and following will not give up the idea of fastening that policy upon the country without a desperate struggle. Determined opposition gives zest to the contest, and if is likely to be a disturb ing issue for an indefinite period in the future. THE CHICAGO GAMBLING HOUSE. To the Editor of the Eagle. The Butterworth bill, which defines dealers in farm produce that does not be long to them and provides for taxingsuch dealers, appears to have aroused tlio moral instinct and indignation of the virtuous Chicago board of trade, and that delectable body has given expression to its indignation in a preamble and pro test of sixteen solid pages of printed matter in language well calculated to make an old citizen recall the high sounding and bombastic effusions issued years ago by the South American revo lutionists. In this interesting document ruin, desolation and volcanic convulsions are prophesied unless the commercial and farming industries of this country are left to the care of such institutions as the Chicago board of trade. That board of trade has done more than any other body of men in the United States to educate people for and establishing bucket shops, puts, calls and straddles, and to foster and systematize op tion dealing with attendants and colateral gambling evils in the semblance of legitimate business and now with un bounded effrontery they come before congress with an argument acainst their rivals (the bucket shops) and suggest leg islation to close them up and let the greater offenders on the Chicago board of trade not only go free, but pose as great and good merchants and public benefac tor. It is too huge a farce to be argued, particularly when it is a well known fact that many of the heavy operators on the Chicago board of trade do the bulk of the trading now done, on the curb in the way of puts and calls, to protect them selves or give them a basis or insurance for operating on the regular board of trade. Long before the "festering sore" of option dealing was known in the United States, commerce in its broadest sense was conducted and carried on. Money was not abundant but our produc tions were purchased by merchants and traders and moved from one country to another by our own ships and and exchanged profitably for the prod ucts of other nations. Now with un equaied transportation facilities, with plenty of money for all legitimate pur poses, and numbers of enterprising men in every part of the country, we should see a revolution and revival of business that would astonish the world and make a nation of honest, thrifty farmers ami merchants if we could be free from the incubus and demoralizing effect of op tion gambling. The Butterworth bill does not interfere with the legitimate enterprise of buying and celling actual property for future delivery, nor can tt ia anyway interfere with trangiKMTaiion. In fuel it fosters and protects legitimate doaMni: by separ-j ating and taxing unsound and demoraliz ing methods, that have cost the actual producers more money in the past ten years than would pay the national debt. Of course the changes caused by the passage of the bill would cause a con vulsion in the ranks of the opition dealers and may force them to go to work at some other trade. This would be a great hardship, but life is short and it is possible that honest labor in this world might insure better times in the next. McE. SUNFLOWER SHDOWINGS. The salutation in Kansas now is: "Will you break a package with me?" A. S. Johnson who has just resigned as land commissioner of the Santa Fe wants to be one of the world's fair commissioners from Kansas. The Mr. Woodman who was so badly burned at the Thursday night fire, ac cording to the Atchison Patriot reports, was a familiar Atchison cigar sign. Emporia is now without a board of health. The abolition of this and the con solidation of the News and Republican mark an epoch of Lyon county history. There are two newspaper men in Kan sas who do not have to read proof the editor of the Corning Independent and the editor of theWetmore Spectator. They are both blind. A Kansas paper has discovered that the sun never sets on the United States. This is the most able argument in favor of the Kansas flower for a national emblem that we have yet seen. There are over 375,000 more acres ot wheat in Kansas than there were last year. The usual amount of "bread cast upon the water" will be magnified. Kan sas could aid the world. The dentists of Kansas held a conven tion last week. Several important meas ures were transacted but nothing was done that will allow a tooth to be pulled with a deduction for pain. A Kansas young man won the first place in the interstate oratorical contest at Lincoln, Neb., Saturday, as did another Kansan the second. It does appear that Kansas is becoming a mascot to oratory. An Atchison poetess, Lillie Binkley, writes lines for a Louisiana paper. Here is probably the first outlet offered Kansas poetry. Away from the lecal journals' columns the generality of Kansas rhymes repine and fade away. Dr. Bohrer has been appointed lecturer of the Fanners' Alliance for the Seventh congressional district. He has a large field to traverse and the Harper Graphic thinks his horse may give out before he gets over the entire district. The Topeka sugar mill is now owned and controlled entirely by Topeka men, who have bought out the interests of the Boston syndicate, represented Mr. Park inson. A paper mill is being talked of in connection with the sugar works. Report says that there are more fish in the Kansas streams this year than there have been before for a decade. With the supreme court's original package decision the piscatorial prospect in Kansas, just at present, does not indeed look flattering. The best base ball pitcher in Kansas is an Indian at the Haskell institute. He has all the curves down pat. This is not strange. His illustrious ancestors were wont to handle spherical objects with a simple twist of the wrist and a tomahawk An Atchison man writes an open letter to Senator MacPherson on Ingalls' for tune. He says the senior Kansas senator is worth 200,000. It is mostly in Atchison real estate. Ingalls owns, he depones, 640 acres of Sumner county land. This last, if it is so, is only another instance of the senator's good sense. A REPLY TO IRISH CATHOLIC. To the Editor of the Eagle. My attention was drawn to an extract which appeared in your issue of the 2d inst. giving the views on an "Irish Cath olic" on the public school question, and calling upon his fellow Catholics to up hold a system of non-religious training which is opposed by the Catholic church. This "Irish Catholic" furthermore ele vates himself upon the pinnacle of his own absurdity and has the effrontery to call in question the teaching of the head of his church the pope. It is needless to say the writer is not a Catholic, nor is he an Irishman, as his impertinence is an open contradiction to what those terms imply. The Catholic church, whatever else its opponents may advance, has always been and is today the ac knowledged mistress of education every where in science and in art. She does not in the United States object to universal education of the people; her numberless schools, colleges, academies and universities supported by her members at an immense expense prove this assertion. What she objects to in our public school system is the ignoring of the training of the child in the higher and noblpr science of the soul. No relig ious community can consistently endorse a non-religious system of training, for it is wrong in principle. The Catholic convinced of this indisputable truth can not, in conscience, endorse or support the public school system of education as at present m vogue, and naturally objects to being compelled to pay taxes for what he considers injustice not only to him self but to every professing Christian. As regards this would be Catholic's objecting to the encyclical instructions of the Sovereign Pontiff, it is enough to say that his own words belie his pro fession. He is not a Catholic in fact the moment he penned such an assertion. In the year 8(53 it was decreed in a council of the Catholic church that an athema should be pronounced "upon every one who holds in contempt the dogmas, mandates, interdicts, sanctions or decrees which have been wisely pro mulgated by the Apostolic See for the Catholic faith, for ecclesiastical disci pline, for the correction of the faithful, for the bettering of the wicked, or for the prevention of imminent or future evils.' The Catholic church through her recognized officers, teaches. Her doctrinesare not the changeable views or opinions of her members, but the un changeable dogmas of her faith commit ted to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. "Go and teach all nations, and lam with you to the end of time." is her shiboleth. Her obedience to this mandate has char acterized her extstence in peace or war, in sunshine or storm, during the past eighteen hundred years. The true Cath olic never questions the teachings of lus church. He upholds them firmly and without question, for he is as sured on the testimony of Christ that his church will not err. The church, in his tory, has been compared to a ship upon a boisterous ocean winding its way with its freight of human souls from time to eternity. Its chief officer is Peter, whom Catholics see in his successor, the Pope. As in every well disciplined vessel, the captain is supreme: so in the Catholic church, the voice of its chief pttor heard and obeved. "o one is piivsjcally compelled to" be a Catholic but the church can and does exclude from th eternal benefits of membership any one who. without authority, arrocatfes to himself the office of teacher, or who fe so iticoosistan:; as to qnestion the divine raagfeterktm. under which he Kves. A Eo3Lor Catholic HOMESEEKERS ENJOYING KANSAS To therEditor of the EaIe. Hale Cowley, secretary of the State Immigration Bureau, was yesterday morning entertaining a party of Kansas prospectors from a point in Michigan where the secretary has lately been de voting some little attention. Amos Smith and wife, of Lansing, Michigan, were among the party. They have been in and about the city for the past ten days and to give a correct idea of the im pression they have formed of Wichita and Kansas, will quote the words of Mrs. Smith, who is not only a highly practical business woman hut is one of those independant and thrifty women who want to see what advantages there are outside of their own county limits. She said the other evening wlule looking over the city whose streets are crowded with business, building, people and paving, tliat she had heard some thing in reference to the bottom bavins slipped out from under some of the west ern towns, but in her opinion the founda tion of Wichita for a great city is as thoroughly anchored as that of Gotham, and to find the bottom in a few years one will have to dig under a city of two hundred thousand people. Mr. Cowley will take the party over the entire length of the Wichita Western railroad, giving them a splendid chance to look at the country west of here, which of itself is an abundant proof that Wichita is not only not on tne border of the great agricultural garden of America but is in the center of the charmed circle, within whose limits is more of the native wealth of ages than is encompassed within any like circle on the continent. Then the party will look over other fea tures of Kansas and be able to report to their many interested friends who are waiting for their decision. Mr. Amos Smith comes from a locality where he has spent about thirty years of his life and gained a handsome com petency and enjoys the esteem of all. To such men Kansas extends the hand of welcome and from the candid pinions and good judgment of such people who know a good thing when they see it, Kansas will receive such help in truthful statements as she deserves. Tliis is one feature of the work of the bureau that commends itself to all. The party will be gone two days taking in the fishing and hunting sports of the Nin nescah. Then they will bo shown other parts of Kansas and perhaps return with their chaperon who can show them as many of the nooks and corners of Kan sas as any one. There is, no doubt, wo shall have the pleasure of noting the acquisition of a goodly number of people from the visit of this party. They came here for busi ness; they are business people and ap Ereciate a country where business can e done. They are not disappointed with Kansas, only agreeably so. S. KANSAS' SPRING SUIT. From the Iola Raglster. One of the places of torment that Dante saw in his wonderful pilgrimage through the abode of departed spirits was a black, silent, sullen pool, half hidden by gloomy shadows. No wind kissed the sombre bosom of the pool and no ripple danced upon it, but bubbles rose cease lessly to the surface and broke there, one by one. And from below, amid the slime and ooze, ascended forever, faint, stifled sounds of lamentation the voices, the pilgrim learned, of those who had been "dark and sad within them" during their days on earth, unthankful for the warmth of "the sunshine and tho blessed blue of the sky. It was a horrible punishment. And yet we are not sure it would not about fit the crime of those, if any there be, who could drive out through the country highways and byways these glorious spring days and still be "dark and sad within them." We have been driving around lately, past fragrant, bloom laden orchards, past fields of billowy wheat, past new plowed lands, sweet smelling as if fresh from the Creator's hand, past green pastures andt by still waters and are tempted to say,' "Kansas never looked so pretty as she does this spring." Wo would say it did we not remember that we have been say ing it every returning spring these twenty years or more. Maybe it would -be true anyhow. Cer tain it is, whether or not any difference can be discovered from one year to an other, there can be no doubt of the mar- vellous change for the better that lias come over Kansas if we look back ten years. There lias been a good deal of complaint about hard times during the past year; but we venture the assertion that as a class tho farmers of Allen county are 100 per cent better off now than than they were ten years ago. They have better houses, better barns, better farm machinery, better orcliards, more acres under cultivation, more stock and incomparably better stock. Ten years ago a farmer who hat! a buggy or spring wagon was an exception. Today it is the farmer who lias not such a vehicle that is the exception. Ten years ago not three farmers in ten raised more fruit than they needed. To-day not three larmers in ten do not raise" a surplus. Ten yeara ago there was hardly a "patch" of clover or timothy or blue grass in the count-. Today there are hundreds of acres. Indeed c believe it is in resjiect of these tame grasses that the decade has brought it greatest change. It is very seldom. in either the physical or the moral world, that wo find a good thing, when left to itself, conquering an evil thing. It is the sand burr that grows without being planted or cultivated, and it 13 disease that h, catching, and not health, vfee and not virtu. But blue gra-w furnishes ablesoed exception to this ad rule. Blue grass is pretty and it w useful, and yet when left to itself it kill out weeds which are ugly and useless, and entersin and possesses ihe land. That is what it is doing in Kansas. There are pastues that we know where the natural sod has never bee broken and where blue grass has never been planted by anv man's hand, and yet where it has taken root and driven out the prairie grass. And there are long lanes where the blue gram from the fields on either side has crept out all the wav to the road and lias taken sch firm hold of the soil that no vile, defacing weed can find a lodging place. Kansas is fast growing to be a bfue grass coun try: and that is only another way of say ing that it is fast becoming a beautiful and wealthv country. So if there is any dansr that any may become "sad and dark within them, we pray them to drive out or walk out into the country where they can get "close to nature's heart and where thevcansee her in all the glory of her bright spring garb.

Musical kites are provided with a bamboo resonator containing threo apertures, one m the center and one at each extremity. When the kite is flying the air, in rushing into the resonator, produces a somewhat intenso and plaintive sound, which can be heard at agreat distance. The transverse rods of tho frame of this kite are connected at the extremities, and give the kite the aspect of two birds' wings affiled to a central axis. This kite sometimes reaches large dimen sionssay, ten feet in width. There are often three or four resonators, placed one nbove another over tho kite, and in this case a very pronounced, grave sound is produced. The musical kite is very common in China and Tonquin; hundreds of them aro some times seen hovering iu the air in the vicinity of Hanoi. It is believed among tho supersti tious to have tho power of charming evil spirits away, and with this object it is often tied to the roofs of houses during the preva lence of winds, where, during the whole night, it emits plaintive murmurs after the manner of an iEolian harp. New York Telegram. To Trescrve Tcxtilo Fabrics. A Belgian chemist has discovered a means for rendering fabrics, no matter how delicate in texture or color, proof against the rav ages of decay. The wonderful state of pres ervation which the head bands of the Egyp tian mummies exhibit is due to their having been impregnated with a kind of resin. This led the inventor to make certain experiments with tho substance extracted from birch bark, to which the peculiar aroma of Rus sian leather is due, and he found out that tho green tar which was left over after tho oil used in tanning had been extracted from the white bark of tho birch treo yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and that in solution with alcohol it forms a liquid of remarkable fluid ity with the power of resisting, when once dried, even the action of alcohol itself. This substance will, it is said, unite with the most delicate and brilliant color.-, and render them imperishable. Textile Manufacturer. Kgxptian TJook or the Dead. The Egyptian "Book of the Dead" or fu- neral ritual contains, probably, the oldest existing record of tho faith of man in the im- mortahty of the soul. Its chapters are found inscribed on mummy cases, or written on rolls of papyrus within them. It is supposed tho "Book of the Dead" originated with tho Egyptians between 2,00 1 and 3,000 years be fore Christ. A mummy case from tho great pyramid inscribed 1,700 years before tho time of Jesus has the following beautiful inspira tion: "O God, the protector of him who cries to theo, ho is thine; let him have no harm; let him bo as one of thy flying servants. Thou art ho, ho is thou. Make it w ell for kim in the land of spirits." St. Louis Republic. Frankly Put. Tho guests, but possibly not the host, at a dinner given recently were greatty amused by tho innocent mistako of the little daughter of one of tho company. When 4-year-old Rosalie, having tried her knife and fork on tho roast beef, passed her plato to her father, he received it m discreet silenco; but tho host, Rofaalios uncle, said quizzically "Why, Rosalie! Aren't you big enough to cut your meat?" "Yes, sir," she replied, putting into form the thought which her grownup fellow diners were too polite to utter, "I am big enough at home, but this meat is so tough I can't cut it."

WFIIG1N Specimen of Lynch Law in the Wabash Valley. IN THE DATS OF THE PIONEERS. How a Long Course of Crime Led to Sad don Itetribation and How the Avengers Suffered in Turn TUo Lax Administra tion of Justice Eespcnslblo. Copyright, 1S30J The tourist who drives northward from Terre Haute along what is sometimes called "the river road" passes through a region which, for beauty, agricultural wealth and social stability, now has few, if any, superiors in the world. The rich Fort Harrison prairie abounds in pleasant views, fine farms and points of historic interest. The Wabash bluffs, ttill fringed with lofty timber, give free outlook here and there over fertile "bottoms" and "second bot- TAKEN' OUT AXU WHALED, toms" (terrace lands), on which, in their season, one may overlook miles of tasseling maize, waving grain or rich fields of clover or meadow grass; while farther inland the blue grass pastures, gentle slopes and clear streams flowing over gravelly beds give I hu ever varying charm to the landscape. J It is hard to believe, as one looks upon i such scenes, that within the memory of men still living this lovely land was the theatre of the state's only considerable In- dianwar; that two presidents of the United I f63'11 tbir 1A,Ur?!f, in that r?n; "iat Jff1 aiul EUwatawa ("The Prphe.) there organized their great ,sav- ?P confederacy, and tli.it Gen.

(later President) Taylor organ ized the defense of Fort Harrison against tho fierce La Farine and his fellow red j men. Yet so it was, and at a time so recent 1 as to seem but yesterday, a3 time is meas I ured in the evolution cf a nrtion. I After the Indians had departed came a strangely mixed population. Along with tho honest settler came the outlaw, tho "coiner" and tho horse Lliief; and so it was that while the children of other lands hoard of genii and fairies, the boys of the Wabash valley, from 1810 to 1SG0, heard of Indian massacres, of bloody combat on the very paths they traveled to and from school, of thickets in the "bottoms" where horse thieves rendezvoused, of discoveries here and there of concealed forges, where "coiners" manufactured "bogus money," and of terrible combats between the law less and the law's guardians. Let us snatch from oblivion one btich case all the more interesting because it was the last of the kind in which the due course of justico was supplemented by lynch law. Some twelve miles north of Terre Haute in those wild and early days gathered a lit tle group of those who boasted themselves pioneers, and in their drinking bouts talked long and loud of being "old settlers," men who had "tramped out tho dog fennel and killed the rattlesnakes," and yet their lit tle settlement soon acquired an evil famt a fame, be it noted, long since redeemed by i the honorable conduct of the present popu lation. At the head of the clan, as it came to be called, was one Silas Bowers, whose name may now va found on the public rec ords of the county as party to a suit of some kind at every court for twenty-nine years! It adds not a little to the interest to note on the records that for ten of these years his principal attorneys were the law firm of Howard Wright of these Tilghman A Howard went to Texas as President Ty ler's charge d'affaires to introduce that commonwealth into the nation, and Joseph A Wright, after serving most acceptably as governor of Indiana and minister of tho United States at Berlin, rendered valuable services to tho Union cause during the war. Around this Silas Bowers gathered a gang of coiners, false sweaters and other disre putables. Cattle, which had pastured free ly on the public domain, mysteriously fail ed to come home; horses iu increasing num bers disappeared; "bogus" dollars, chielly Mexican, multiplied, and sometimes chick ens took wing by night and fled to that un discovered country from which no feath ered traveler returns. That the gang robbed and counterfeited is certain, that they mur dered is only surmised, but on evidence which convinced the people. Many columns might be filled with the bare titles of suits BE FELL FORWARD IN DEATH, brought against Bowers, chiefly for the re covery of property, but be always had wit nesses in abundance. One tri?k in which he was caught will illustrate his methods. In a suit involving the ownership of horses he claimed to have bought, he gave notice that he would take the deposition of tba Rev. John L. Smith, an eminent presiding elder of the Methodist church m a distant county. Contrary to their usual custom the other parues tect zs. agent to witness tae taking of the deposition, and the al leged 'Jchn L. Smith" proved to be ona Burke, a creature of Bowers, asd notori ously one of the vilest of mankind. At length early in 1S54 the law abiding element of the vicinity combined acainst the gang, asd then the burning began. By the testimony of one wicBoen k": J an important suit: a day or two kur that witness received the usual wiunc. with j the nswiro of which the "whit cap1' besi- j rates has made us sadly familiar. He kept aux, especially i nigut, awl scon alter ais J bam was fired and a large sateen: of vahi-; ab property consumed. Tbn the hones: ciazdns rose as one man. Forbeenwee had coaled to be a virsoe. Bowers was taken oat cf his bouse on iarelr y&r Sabhah jf, Mm w( 6w& rWii!SiF Jvs mm0m K Kit euJtlw' fSdr&Mf ana wmuea" witn water Deecn switcnes till his back was a raw and bloody mass from the nape to the "os coccygis." Burke, his principal "swearer," got an equal dose, and "squealed," admitting that Bowers hired him to fire the barn and that he had in turn induced one Reeder to apply the torch. The victim of the fire "got after" Reeder, 33 the phrase went, and with plenty of help. Reeder was seen to enter a swamp in flight, and was no$ seen to issue from it. There his history in that locality ends, and and if one asked any of those in pursuit as to his final fate their reply was that they "didn't know and couldn't say as they cared." Burke lay still till his wounds healed and fled, as did the rest of the gang. Bowers went to Terre Haute, hired a law yer, and in time ventured to return. The "regulators," a3 they now began to be called, captured him again and "gave him one hundred lashes on the bare back." His condition was horrible. Still the plucky scoundrel would not retreat, and from his legal stronghold fired alisorts of threats and proceedings" at hi3 enemies. The mob spirit wes now fully arousod, and, as always happens, the men who in augurated this extra legal justice were soon hurled from power and others took the lead who subordinated justice to the pur suit of private and personal vengeance. The whole history of popular movements tend ing to violence is but a succession of repeti tions of thi3 truth: Tho msn who raise tho storm cannot determine its direction or limit its duration. Men were "lashed" for mere offenses against good morals; then the public divided, two parties formed, and a compromise was effected. Silas Bowers was given time to ssttle his affairs on a pledge to then leavo the country forever. He once threatened that ho would return and hi3 doom was sealed. When he had signed the last papers he took a seat in a buggy beside his wife and started for the west. A few mile3 beyond the Wabash river, as Jtho buggy traversed a lonely country road, two men suddenly rose from tho brush a little ahead and si multaneouslj' fired, and with unerring aim. Two balls struck Silas Bowers and ho fell forward in death, his blood and brains spat tering the dress of his wife. It was the nat ural, the logical end of a feud originating in extra legal Liw. Tho revulsion in pub lic opinion may be imagined. c i Seven years passed, and in the very heat and fury of a horrible war the people of the county were startled and horrified, even to a temporary forqjetfulness of the war, by seeing their public places placarded with this heading, "f 1,000 Reward!'' and under it a statement which chilled the blood a mother off ering a reward for the assassina tion of her son! Tlie son had assassinated his own father! Such arj the main facts of JCH. tgy -z& wr SOUGHT HIS FATTIER IN TIIE FIELD, a business which most of those who know them would like to forget. Milton Wine laud, disinherited by bjs father, had "filled himself full," as the ruralists say of the drunkard, had sought his father in tho field and shot kim dead. The mother of fered $1,000 reward for the assassin, "dead or alive." The criminal seemed unable to leave the country. It was scon known that he se creted himself somewhere on the Wabash, and that he visited his nearest friend by night in a skiff. Certain fellows of desper ate fortunes organized an ambush for him. Gne night, as he sat asleop in his skiff, they came suddenly on him. He sprang up, re ceived a bullet through the heart and "went suddenly to his place." The people soon learned who fired that shot, and then by the confession of some of the old "Regula tors" it transpired that the same man fired one of tho shots which ended Silas Bowers. The end was not yet. Misfortune seemed to follow nearly all the participants, and one by one most of the "Regulators" became bankrupt and then exiles to the west. Cur tis, who fired the shot at Wineland, grow morose and savage of temper. In a quar rel with a neighbor he hurled a hammer at his antagonist. It was his last act. Tho other dodged the hammer and the nert in stant sent a bullet crashing through the head of Curtis. The slayer was tried and acquitted, but the blood stain was on him. He still lives lives to illustrate tho poet's lines on Eugene Aram: Woe, woe unutterable to them Who spill Lfe's sacred stream. Perhaps this is a tedious tale; if it has a moral it is that a las administration lays the foundation of lynch law, and that in most cases the romedy is worse than the disease. J. H. Beadle. Swindled His Neighbor. J. Monroe Shellenberger is wanted badly at Soyleotown, Pa. He resided there until recently, practiced law, took charge of trust funds and lived well. He was the big man of Bucks county, and all the poor peo ple thought if they could only get Mr. Shellenberger to take charge of their money it would not only be safe, but would in crease rapidly by reason of shrewd investment. But now it seems that all the cash he fled, and hi as tounded neighbors learned tbst he had robbed them to the tune of $300,000. He despoiled even his own children, and did not hesitate to impoverish his colored cook as welL A reward of f L,000 was offered for his capture.

Though the walls of 2ica?a are imposing, and the remains of the Greek theatro massive and unique in that department, we could not help f oehag mora impressed at first with the Mohammedan relics that we saw. The green mosque of Nicsea is one of the prettiest in Islam, and was built, as an inscription over the porch told ua, by a general of Sultan Murad, the capturer of Salonica, as an expi ation for the sin of not visiting Mecca once in his life, because the exigencies of public affairs prevented him. It was erected in IS7S; its architecture is Saracenic, and the minaret, incrusted with blue and red tiles, is infinitely superior to anything of tho kind in Conitantinople. Close to it is the fast decaying unaret, or almshouse, where soup and pilaff were once distributed to the poor a building of excessive beauty in its decay, its crumbling walls and domes having taken nearly all the colors of the rain bow. One of our partv sat sketching here, and a derviih who was contemplating the operation with undisguised disgust, not knowing that he was understood, was heard to say, "See, the Giaour is taking a list of tho pillars, so that when we have to give it up they may know tho exact number."'

Fortnightly Review. An Able Xerr Potato. At a meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences M. Aime Girard gave some interest ing information respecting the Emperor, or Richter's Impcrator, potato. He stated that, after testing it on a small scalo for some years, he grew it largely in 1SSS and 1SS9, and also gave out tubers for experiment to forty growers in different parts of France. It ap peared that, while the average yield of tubers in France does not exceed 7,500 kilogrammes (say 147 hundredweight) to tho hectare, a hectare being 2.4 acres, the variety known as tho Imperator may, under certain condi tions, yield as much as 3",C00 to 40,000 kilo grammes per hectare of tubers, "N ith more than 20 per cent, of dry starch. These figures wt re quite borne out by M. Girard's own exj)eneiice, his crop of lSb9 yielding S9.000 kilogrammes of tubers per hectare, with 20.4 per cent, of starch, equal to 7,950 kilogrammes of dry starch, which is more than the general averago weight of tubers themselves in France. In thirtv-threo out of forty experimental cases throughout the country the general result was a yield ranging from ."2,C0O to 44,000 kilogrammes per hectare, with a proportion of 20.4 to 24.3 jer cent, of dry starch, tho averago yield being 30,090 kilogrammes per hectare and 7,900 kilogrammes vf dry starch. London Tunes. Tho Koy Took a Chair. A young teacher in an intermediate school wished to communicate with a teucher at one of the grammar scnools about a mile away. For this purpose she chose ono ot her bright scholars and dispatched him with a note di rected to tho young lady. Wbm the messen ger arrived at his destination the teacher chanced to bo illustrating somo lesson to her pupils at the blackboard. Shfr therefore sent word to the boy to take a cLair. When at leisure sho summoned tho boy, who. was sup posed to be seated in the corridor, but he had disappeared. Tho young lady was nonplused, but the mystery was solved when, some tuno later, tho boy returned, bearing with him the chair which had been given him to sit upon. He had accepted tho invitation "to take a chair," and had carted it upon his shoulders j back to the school ho came from. The teacher, after she had recovered from tho shock of seeing him drag the strange chair up to her and deposit it by her side with a conscious air of duty well performed, bad 6ont him back with it. He was pretty well tired out when ho returned, and his only explanation was a sob, and "you told me to talo it." Provf denco Journal. Jumbled.

News of one of tbo rao-it interesting ghost stories ever beard iu upper DeKulb county bas been brought to light here. The facts are about as follows: Tuesday night n younp; man, while returning from n neigh'Kirliood danco about 1 o'clock, took tho lonely road for home, which runs through n. dark wood land, surrounded by deep vales nnd lofty peaks, and overhung ivitli hugo cliffs, whos summits ara crowned with gigantic pine. Not a clearing disturbs tho thickness of tho woodland, save one solitary spot almost over grown with vines and shrubs, where stands mouldering an old stone building, with dc- caved and ruined walls ami lofty towers, nl most overtrrowu nith mw, robetnblf ng great- ly tho old haunted Kirk AUoway, so famous in "Tam O'Shautor."' All thfse scenes combined could not dauut the courage of the young mountaineer a& ho marched on with quietening pace Bat just us he was approaching the old haunted build fug, which has for many years Letui frequented by tho ghost of a mysterious old lady, who many years ago suddenly disappeared, m an old fireside legend has it, and took up her abode in tho vaults of this old building, which was anciently used by u band of exiled monks, and thought to have ben built by them at least a century ago, and which has for many years been hidden from public notice, un visited for a long time by any human being, there, suddenly ruang from the jp-ound, like tho ghost of Banquo, appeared before him a tall, dark apparition with ouUstrotbed ltand and glowing eyes revolvSujj in thir flary socket, aud tangW gray hair, wearing a loose block robe descending from the shoulder to the feet. The boy stood amazed, motioaltaw and dumb. This scene lasted bat for a moment. The ghost, as suddenly as it appeared, disap peared. Recognizing his situation the boy immediately mode a forward doable quick at an almost incredible rate. Glancing over his shoulder he saw the old mowatry lighted by candles, which were bfkl m tho Iwnds of a solemn procession of monks in their rehj-ious attire, as they treaded iiowksaiy around so iron cofSn in the center of the lloor. Upon tho cofSn were two candles, one upon the hfad, the other upon tho foot. Keen monk corned a crote of bis order and thy were chaattag an old English tune. Upon the head of the coffin was a gokiea cross, and as each moak pawt-ed the crow he made a low bow aod altered some words of praver. Swidnly aJ wee dark nrd the vaulU-d doors of the iatenor part of the old monastery were heard to open aad creak upon their rusty bmgez, aad thoo be&a a clicking of chains and a chaos of shortly noises, which were fceon hashed, the viuherl door3 closdog with a ssaxn.

OF It Is Claimed That They Are Descended from Early "Welsh Explorers They Had Customs sad Blannore Entirely Different from Otlior Indians. In the gallery at the National museum aro portraits of Indians witn light hair and bluo eyes. George Catlin found such Indians among tho Mshdans. During the montte ho lived with them and painted his pictures he developed the interesting theory that this tribe was descended from a band of Welsh explorers who landed in North America near ly 200 years before Christopher Columbus came in the Santa Maria. There were ten ships which left North Wales under tho direction of Prince Madoc or Ma dawc early in tho Fourteenth century. They never returned. It is historical supposition that these explorers landed on the west of what is Florida now, or somewhere about the mouth of tho Mississippi, traveled into the interior, and gradually amalgamated with the Indians. Catlin concluded that Madoc's men estab lished their colony in what is now Ohio. They may have ascended the river from the gulf, or they may have marched inland from the coast. After he had lived among these In di .ns in their fortiGed city on the upper Mis souri Catlin traced their course backwards, down the Missouri and up the Ohio, to the extensive fortifications in that state. Ho found Mandan ruins in a dozen places. He became satisfied that the ancestors of the In dians he knew had built these forts with walls twenty or thirty feet high, and with covered ways to the water. There was a striking similarity in the work of construction. Noth-' ing like it was found among other tribes. Tho specimens of pottery dug from tho fortifications in Ohio wore liko the utensils in uso by the Mandans. A visitor at the village could see the Mandan women molding vases, cups, pitchers and pots from black clay and baking them in the little kilns which they built in the sides of hills. The Mandans alone of North American Indians possessed tho art of manufacturing a beauti ful and lasting kind of blue glass beads. The' had these beads m great quantities when the fur traders first came among thom. They kept the process secret. Mandan canoes were altogether different from the canoes of other tribe3. They wero exactly liko the Welsh coracle, and were made of buffalo hides stretched over a frame of willows or other boughs, and wero shaped so as to bo nearly as rouud as a tub. WELSHMEN EXTERMINATED. These were a fow of tho facts which strengthened Catlin in his theory. He ar gued that tho Welshmen had settled in Ohio and had fortified themselves. Thoy had been warred against by the Indians, and after their ammunition gave out thoy had been ex terminated. But the half breeds had been ppared. Half breeds are always despised by full blood Indians. These sons and daughters of Welshmen and Indian women had natur ally associated together in a band. They had cut loose from parent tribes. Gradually thoy had made their way down tho Ohio and then up tho Mississippi and the Missouri, stopping for a generation or so hi ono fortified place, and then moving on, increasing in numbers, pre serving somo of the customs and character istics of their Welsh ancestors, and trying to iind a place whero thoy could live at peace, but aloof from other tribes. Catlin found tho Mandans living behind a well built stockade. They had locatea meir principal city where the 3Iissouri made u sharp turn around a rocky ledge. On two sides of tho town was this abrupt precipice and tho river. On tho remaining side was the stock ade. This was composed of timbers a foot thick, set firmly in the ground, and eighteen feet high. Crevices wero left between the timbers to shoot through. Their frortifiod city was impregnable. Nothing like tho Mandan architecture was found by Mr. Catlin among any of tho other North American Indians. The lodges wero circular, and from forty to sixty feet in diameter. Tuo Mandan houses were built so closely together that between them were only nar row pathways. At a distance the dome like yellow roofs presented a singular appear ance. On nearer approach the visitor found himself among a lot of great mud huts. Tho greatest surprise was after entrauce. Then it was discovered that these wero wooden houses, dry and clean, and often furnished with household cosaforts unknown to other Indians. THEY WEP.E SELF SOrPOUTING. Tho Mandans were agriculturists. They raised corn, pumpkins and squashts in great quantities. They had no plows, but labori ously chopped the sod with hoes made from the shoulder blades of buffaloes or elks. Their corn was peculiar. It made ears which were no larger than a man's thumb, but it ripened early, and matured well even in such high latitude as the Northern Pacific of North Dakota, White men in w hat was once the Mandan country claim that it is impossible to raise corn there. The seasons are too short. I n-r.i-..o. 1 .i ,i;.i i The Mandans stored their corn and dried vegetables m cellars made six or seven feet deep and smaller at tho top, like a jug. In this way they easily preserved food through the worst winters. Wild fruit w.ts gathered and dried in season. 'Die buffalo meat was jerked. Amoug tho women parcrcularly were many whose skins were almost vliite, and who had hazel, gray or blue eye There was every shade of hair except auburn. The men seemed ashamed of their light hair, and dis guised it with glue and black earth. But th women were proud of theirs, and wore it spread out and down to their knees. Although there were individuals among them with records for great personal bravery, the Mandans wero not a wuriiko people. They avoided hostilities as long as possible. They cared more for sports and for ceremo nies than for fighting. Six years after Mr. Catlin's vij.it among the Mandans smallpox was introduced in tho city by a fur trading boat. At thHt time the Sioux were making war upon the Mandans, and the afilicied people were shut up within their fortifications. Th ravages of the dis ease were tornbie. Of the 2,000 people in tho Mandan city, 23 warnoi-s, 40 women and 60 young people escaped the smallpox and found a refuge with the Ivicc-rees. Tho Mandans now number about 500. They live in a vil lage near Fort Buford. Cor. St. Louis G!ob Democrat. Fad anl Taney.

Harper's Weekly. Keedeil X-eIslation. She had gone away and left her chewing gum stuck on tho back of the sofa, and it was perhaps unfortunate that her little brother saw it. It was certainly grotesque of him to careful! dig out its mside, fill up tho cavity with red pepper, carefully plug up tho hole and put tho gum back in its place. It was little short of calamitous that her beau should call just at that moment in the evening when she had put the gum back in her mouth again. Ho could not understand her de meanor. Ke does not even yet comprehend why she danced and shrieked, and finally ran out of the room. Thnre is no question that the bill now upon the legislature providing fpr the killing of all boys between the ages of Sand 13 should go through. Merchant During the last few years there has been a great rush of travel to the Pacific coast. It has seemed at times as if the entire pop ulation of the eastern and middle states was determined to settle in the broad inter ior valley of the San Joaquin, or in some of the pretty spots near the ocean, from San Diego northward to San Francisco. Almost everybody has been interested in oranges and lemons and real estate. The Santa Fe route, being tho shortest and best line to the coast, gets the cream of the passenger traffic. But we did not intend to advertise Cali fornia exclusively; we have another object in view. Today, if there may bo said to be a "boom" anywhere, it is in the New South.
