A little girl in cluirch,after the contribution plate had been passed, complacently and audibly said : ; ‘I paid for four, ma—was that right?” An instance of precocity is the case of the little boy who asked his mother if crows were hatched from rooster's eggs. “Aha!” said Bridget, knocking over a prodigal chicken which bad returned after a week’s absence, “it pleases me wlion chickens come home to roast.” “Nelly, will yon have some of the turkey?” “Yes, papa,” was the reply of the four-year-old as she looked at thestnfliiig, “but I wont hare any of the hash.” Overworked merchant: “How shall I contrive to get my mind off my business?” Well, if you try to set a rattrap, in a very short time you will iorget all about your business, and bo wondering how in hades the thing can bite so. God took his softest clay and his purest colors and made a fragile jewel, mysterious and caressing—the linger of woman; then he fell asleep. The devil awoke, and at the end of that rosy linger put —a nail.— Victor Hugo. We have bean! of an old lady who was so particularly neat that sno always washed her eggs before she broke them into the pan to fry; and was always particularly careful, moreover, to spit iu tile pan to sec it tlie lat was just exactly hot enough to fry them. I said to my little girl one day—“whata large forehead you have. It it is just like your lather's, you could drive a pony carriage round it. lo which her brother five years old, said, “Yes, ma but on pa's )ou cau see the marks of the wheels." A little girl who hail beeu very observant of her parents mode of exhibiting their charity, being asked what generosity was, she answered, “It is giving to the poor all the old stuff you ilou’t want yourself.” When young Jeff first came to town his father told him that it would be polite to say to his host when being helped to dinner, “Half of that, if you please.” It so happened that at tho first dinner to which be was invited a sucking pig was 011 c of the dishes. The host pointed with ids knife to the young porker, asked, “Well, Mr. Jed, will you have this, our favorite dish, or haunch of inillton?” Upon whic j, recollecting his first lesson, ho replied, “Half that, if you please,” to the consternation of all present. An anxious father, says The Houtt was consulting one of the Wall street magnates as to what business he should pus liissoii to. “My boy,sir,” said be, “lias a first-rate education and is remarkable truthful.” “I don’t see mu li oood in that,”said tiro Wall street mau, jingling the double eagles in Id* pockets, “none of the successful men 1 know are truthful.

There may be much difference of opinion in other things, much diversity of thought and taste and feeling, much variation of habits and training, much dissimilarity in the views taken of life and its affairs; but when it dimes to a plain question of right ami wrong nearly all people agree, whatever be their circumstances or however much their lives may diverge from their judgements. Once call the attention of any fair-minded person to the comparison of truth and falsehood, honesty and fraud, justice and injustice, benevolence and selfishness, in any of their phases, and his unhesitating verdict will be m favor of one and against the other.

A PLAIN TALK TO WORKINGMEN. [From the lowa State Leader.] The farmers and the laborers have the votee which change elections. They are also the men upon whom falls the heavy burden of taxation, for it is conceded that wealth lias a faculty for eluding the aasefleor. It follows then that when the real workingmen—the men whose sweat kneads the dough for their daily bread—ono© learn how unjustly the tariff presses upon them there will be a revolution. The following clear and powerful statement of their case is from the pen of Mr. E. M. Turner, of West Virginia, in reply to some musing sophistries of the Wheeling Intelligencer. It is the most complete answer and thorough annihilation we have yet seen: Mr. Editor : In reply to your criticism upon me in the Intelligencer of the JGtli of Jnne, and your inquiries as to the position I assume upon the tariff in reference to the farmer and other unprotected classes in this country, I beg leave to nay: My position upon the tariff question is based upon the following propositions, which I bold to be essential truths in all popular government, and necessary to the maintenance of free institutions, namely : That all government is instituted for the purposo of securing to the people who live under it the equal enjoyment of life, liberty and property ; that all taxation should be equal and uniform, bo far as the nature of human government can make it so ; that every man has & natural right to the fruit of his own labor, which fruits no government can rightly takeaway from him without reward, exoept for the maintenance of government itself ; that every law which takes more than this is tyrannical and wrong. A protective tariff is an enactment which, in our case, compels the larger number of our population to surrender a large part of the profits of their labor to a smaller number without compensation ; which restricts the right of the pr<>ducer of wheat and corn, or the labor for hire, to exchange his product or his wages for the greatest quantity and best quality of things which he needs, because it forbids his trading, except under heavy penalties, where these things may be had most cheaply. The object of a protective tariff is to raise the price of manufactured articles of various kinds, upon the ground that they cannot be produced here as cheaply as abroad on account of high wages, and the employer must therefore be allowed to add to his price tho additional cost of labor. The consumer of tho article pays the increased price and is the loser of the difference between that and the natural price, or the price without the tariff, For example, if he is compelled by the tariff to pay f 1.40 for an article which without the tariff he could buy for sl, ho loses 40 cents. But you assert that this is made up (to tho farmer at ieasi) by the increased price he gets for what he has to sell, either productions or labor. But if he makes it back again he must make it back from those whose industry is protected ; for it is their demand for the farmers products which you say has increased the price of them. But this destroys the object of protection, for if the protected workman has to pay out his increase of wages for increased price of farm products, how is he protected? He simply pays out of one pocket what he puts into tho other. And so with the farmer. He pays out for what he buys all the increased price he gets for what he sells. I fail to see how anybody is profited by such an operation. Protection therefore cannot protect the workman unless it takes from some one else a part of that other’s earnings and £ive it to the workman. The other person is injured to the extent to which this is done, and no one can make it up to him. The largest unprotected elass in this country consists of farmers and farm laborers. They are also the largest consumers and therefore most injured by & protective tariff. If we did not produce more agricultural products than our people could j consume, the case would not be so hard upon them. But producing a large surplus, as we do, of agricultural products, they must find a market in Vnimjift aryl other rvmnjrjea. As a matter of fact, our foreign market is lusmiy England, a freo-trade country, and the price of our surplus is fixed by England, and the price of the surplus determines the price of the whole crop. So that, as matter of fact, our farm laborers and farmers sell their labor and their Sroducts in a free-trade market which you say i a cheap, pauper-labor market, while your protective tariff compels them to buy at home m a market which you acknowledge to be a dear market. What are the facts? The average pnee of wheat in New York from 1845 to 1861, a period, as von know, of low tariff in this country, was $1.66 ; from 1861 to 1880, a period of the highest tariff this country has ever had, the average price was $1.51. The average price of corn was, from 1846 to 1861, seventy-three cents j from 1861 to 1880 it was sixty-six cents (see report of Director of the Mint for 1880, page fifty). What has become of your increased price under the high tariff ? The number of the country’s working force in 1880, supposing a pro-rata increase from 1870. was fifteen millions, and divided as follows : Employment. No. Per cent. Agricmltural 7,050,000 47 Frofeiwionß and personal services.3,3oo,ooo 32 Trade ami transportation 1,355,000 9 Manufacturing, mechanical and mining 3,300,000 22 This means, protected workers, 8,300,000, including mechanics, many of whom are not protected, and miners also ; unprotected, 11,* 700,000. Why should 11,000,000 of workers be taxed at the average rate of 40 per cent, on nearly everything they consume and wear in order to give high wages to 3,000,000? What was the amount of that taxation in 1880 V Let us sea The consumption of manufactured articles was not less than $1.50 per head, including their families, making $1,650,000,000. The extra cost was $470,000,000 ; deduct SIOO,000,000 for tariff on foreign goods imported and we have $370,ih)0,000 as tho price which the unprotected classes paid to the 3,000,000 protected workers—more than SIOO to each man. This estimate is a very moderate one (but I prefer to be entirely within the truth). And yet the farmer has no cause of complaint according to vour doctrine ! And yet with all this bonus your protected workmen find employment in our protected industries, notably the iron industries, only about nine mouths in the year, and have to strike every year or two to live I Where does all this bonus go, then, if not to the protected worker? Let the census report on the iron and v '--— —e~ V net statistician. Mr, Iron and Steel Association, answer. y o ur iron industries made a profit in 1880 of so pv>*. on a capital of $230,000,000. The Pennsylvania Steel Company (a part of the Bessemer steel ring) divided profits in tho last three year* of 213 per cents on a capital of $2,200,000 ; the extra tariff rates on spool thread amounted to $6,000,000, divided among three firms in this country ; census bulletin 289 shows the profits of manufactures from wool to have been 35 per cent, on a capital of $150,000,000 ; this is where that $370,000,000 exacted from the unprotected people of this country went. And yet you ask me in derision if these are the people whose ir>> terest I am assuming to defend in calling attornticn to this question of tariff l I answer most emphatically, they are, and they are beginning to get their attention directed to the injustice of this so-called protective tariff which is transferring a large part of the earning* of this country into the coffers of a few capitalists under the pretense of protecting the America* workingman. If von will allow me the use of your column* I shall be glad to give you further reasons for the faith that is in me. Yours respectfully, E. M. Tubnml Says tho latest Mercantile Agency report: In view of the enormous increase in transactions which the last e ghteen months have witnessed, the high prices which have been touched for almost every species of property, and, above all, the speculative successes which prevailed toward the close of 1881, It is a marvelous revelatl n of the strength and stability of the trade of the country that so few failures, comparatively, have occurred. It must he borne in mind , that the number engaged in business has greatly increased, as records show that there were 730,000 persons in . business in 1878, while in 1882 there are 869,000, an increase of 139,000.

. The Captain’s Tale IFrom‘ A summer iu the Azores,” by C A-l ice Faker i ‘ One day iu March, 1869, while we was layin’ iu port ofl BuuDury, in f Western Australia, I was ashore;and 3 see a nice lookin'young fellow about twenty-four years old, eyein’ me pretty sharp, lie was at work on a chain r gang. Watchiu’his chance, he says 1 to me, ‘Are you the mate of that , whaler?” ‘‘Yes, 'says I. “Then says he, ‘Has the priest said - anything to you about me?” i “ ‘No, ’says I. , “ ‘Well he’s goin’ to, ’says he, and ’ passed on quick. “The priest fullered right along and ■ asked pie if I'd ever seen that young ’ man before. I “‘Never to my knowledge, ’says I. > “Then he told me it was , a 1 Fenian prisoner; that he had been confined jn Dartmoor prison in Eng- ; land for seven months, and then sent to Australia lor life; that he'd ben ! there goin’ ou 'leveu months, and wanted to get ofl'. And the upshot of it was, the priest offered me five hun- ! dred dollars to get him off. “ I told him I didn’t want his money If he’d ban a thief or mur--1 derer I wouldn’t have tried to help him away; but I couldn’t make out that he’d committed any crime; so the priest and I, we fixed it that the next day, when my ship got under way, I should pick him up in the yawl—and I did. ‘•h beat all to see how quick every body ou board took to that fellow—be was so pleasant, and such a handsome young chap. “Well, come August, we had to put into Rodrigues for water. It was that, or die of tnirst. That's not far from Mauritius iu the Indian Ocean • By this time the news of 's escape had got ahead of us and was known all over the world. It was just before sunset when a boat from shore come alongside, and her officer boarded us. “ was staudiu'just as near me as Ibe to you, when the officer up and says to me: ‘Have you got a man abroad by the name of ?’ “I kind of thought a minute—it seemed if ’twas about an hour—and then I says ‘No,’says I, very quiet: ‘we did have a fellow by the name of Brown, but he died two mouths ago at Java.’ “He looked at me a minute; then says he, ‘Well, you’ve got some tiek-et-of-leave men aboard, haven't you?’ “I was mighty glad he asked me that; for I thought it would take up his attention and give me a little time to think. “ ‘I can’t say as to that, ’says I. “ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘call your men up from forrard and we’ll soon find out.’ “ ‘No,’ says I: ‘I don’t want noth n’ to do with that kind of business. You can look for yourselves if you like.’ 8o he and his gang went forrard and hauled out the stowaways, and put ’em aboard their boat, and pulled ashore, appearin’ to be satisfied. “As soou as they were gone, , half crazy, says to me: ‘My God! it’s all up w ith me! What can I do? They’ll come back for me, but I’ll never be taken alive.!’ “I knew he meant what he said; for the priest had told me he'd tried to commit suicide, and, if he couldn’t escape, he determined to kill himself I calmed him down ; told him to _go try to think up something; but says T. ‘You sha’nt betaken as long as I can stand by you.' “I knew very well that as soon as they got ashore those tieket-of-leave men would blow on him; and I really didu’t know what to do. Things looked black. “By this time it got to be dark, aud I sat down by myself to think. Then [ remembered a kind of locker under the stairs, where the steward sometimes kep’ the dishes he wasn’t usin’, it was shet by pushiu’ one of the stairs right ■ ver it. I knew they’d never find him there. Then 1 went to and told him to go aud find a little grindstone there was on the ship, while I kep’ the men busy forWhen I come back I’d stop a spell and talk with the steward; and when be heard me talkin' he must throw the grindstone and his hat overboard, give a shriek aud then run and stow himself in the locker. “When I come along back I stopped and says to the steward, ‘I don't know what will happen when those fellows come aboard to-morrow morning. will never be taken alive. He’ll kill some of 'em and kill himself: he threatened to do it iu Australia.’ “Just then we heard a great splash and a scream. ‘ What’s that?’says I. “‘lt’s ,’ says the steward: ‘he’s thrown himself overboard.’ “Everybody heard it. The captain was ofl that day. I rushed aft, told the other officers aud ordered out the boats. The men felt terribly. Every one of ’em was fond of him. We got out four boats and swept that harbor for hours. I was the last boat in. When I got aboard I found the second mate leauiu’ over the ship’s side, cryiu\ says he; ‘the men have just picked it up. We never shall see him again.’ “There wasn’t a wink of sleep on hoard that night. The next morning I ruit th« tbiv at half-urns! oody was solemn asdeath. s»et thought he was dead. "tlov all “The captain come off to see what was the matter. I told him the stoij —how we heard the splash, got out the boats and picked up ’s hat. Right Iu the midst of it the officers from Rodrigues come aboard to claim their mau. We told ’em the story aud showed ’em the wet bat. They never oflered to search the vessel. They see i.ow bad the men felt; and they believed it all and pulled ofl. “ Late that afternoon we got our • water all aboard and bore away to ■ sea. I waited till we was almost out o’sight o’ land; then I says to the captain, ‘I guess I’ll go below aud get a eigar ’ I went, aud hauled the step away ; aud there was , all in ■ a heap. I can see that fellow’s face right before me now, white as chalk, eyes as black as night. He looked like a wild man. “‘Whatuow?’ says he, trembling all over. “ ‘Gome out of that,’ says I. “ ‘What do you mean?’ says he. . “ ‘Don’t stop to ask questions, man, says I. ‘Get out of that aud come up; you’re safe for this time. Land is al i most out of sight.’ • “He crawled out, and we went on . deck together. ‘Now,’says I,‘go and shake hands with the captain.’ “I wept to the side of the shin and f stood there smokin’ and pretendin’ to r be scannin’ the horison. I see the captain give one look at ; a kind . of a scared look. He tho.ight it was his ghost. Then he wrung ’s ‘ hand and burst out cryin’ jest like a r bat y. Pretty soon he looked at me. I ! never said a word. ‘Did that fellow have anything to do with it?’ says he. Hints to Both Sexes. > The gilded youth of the day wear exceedingly tight trousers, well-de-

op . ** fined waists, slightly suggestive of l corsets, hats with curved brims, very tall collars, very light ties, and a e white liower placed very near their i estimable chins. Their boots taper at i the toes to points so sharp as to defy t nature and encourage chiropodists. Ladies who adopt the straight skirt j with no trimming, save a rather ags gressive ruffle at the edge, should ret member that this style of dress displays to advantage or otherwise the “action” of the limbs. I had no idea 1 until recently how many of my fair countrywomen were knock-kneed. And, ah me! how very few of them 1 walk well! Will no professor arise and teach them that graceful, gliding 1 motion that to some women come by t nature? He could show them how to avoid walking as though with each . step the entire weight of the body i was transferred from one foot to the i other; and he might impress upon - his pupils that it is much less fatigut iug to walk well than to lounge and i lurch along as some of our best-born I maidens do. f Some other philanthropic person - might establish classes for the propagation of the ornamental art of lioldi iug a paratol properly. He might - point out that it is unnecessary to » prop up the right elbow with the left i hand when the parasol is held open, • _or, when shut, to carry it as if it were ■ a biby. It must not be held too higli ■ up the handle, for in this case the 1 points threaten the eyes of passers. Aud, again, it should not be held too near the end, for this has an awkward aspect, causing the parasol to totter aud wobble uneasily, afier the fashion of the crinolette.—London Truth. Perils of Alpine Climbing. The Gazette de Lausanne give* a detailed account of a recent acci lent on the Jungfrau. M. Theodore Gohrs, t gentleman from Grasburg, who proposed to make the ascent of the mountain from Griudelwald. was accompanied by the guide* Uudi and Inabuitt. They passed the night in the hut on the Bergli. and set out next morning soon after 3 o’clock. At 7 :30 they began the ascent of the upper partof the Jungfrau, intending to gain the summit by the ltotlithal Couloir, which is frequently swept by avalanches. Their way lay up a steep slope of snow, surmounted by a great wall or cornice of ice, and traversed at its lower extremity by a wide crevasse. The snow was deep and progress difficult, and when Inabnitt, who was in front —all the three being roped together —reached the ice-cornice, ho struck the point of his axe into it so that lie might have a better purchase and the more effectually help the others. Scarcely had he done so when the cornice for a length of twenty metre* came down with a run, striking and overturning M. Gohrs and ltudi, who were shot downward with tremendous velocity, dragging after them Inabnitt, aud all three were hurled pell-mell into the crevasse. Fortunately for them, it was partially filled with snow, which broke their fall, and M. Gohrs and Uudi escaped with a few not very serious contusions. Inbauitt, however, seemed badly hurt. He could not rise, ami when his coin-

panions tried to help him up, he begged them to desist,the least movement fftsf’ilibugTit" wa'itlfat they wbu/diiiY have to perish together, for two sound men could not, iu common humanity, leave their wounded companion alone in that frightful solitude ; yet toremain where they were was eortain dealh. At length resolving to make a last effort for life, they took Inabnitt in their arms, and in spite of his cries, succeeded in carrying him out ol the crevasse. Then M. Goins and Kudi placed the wounde l man between them —in the most dangerous places one alone supported him while the other led the way—and in this manner and with painful slowness they walked from 9 in the morning until 7 in the evening, at which hour they reached the hut on the Fonlhorn. 11 any times during the horrible journey Inabuitt, whose spine was seriously injured begged of the others to leave him to his fate, but they bravely persevered to the end. The journey to Eggcschhorn was almost more trying than that of the day before, for the rain fell in torrents, and M. Gohrs, whose feet had been badly frozen in the hut, was almost as helpless ns the wounded guide. They succeeded, however, iu reaching the Eggcschhorn and eventually Grindelwald. A Worldly Old naid’s Advice* From my safe po-iiion 1 have watched many husband’s, m v dear girls, and can give you a fen hints which may l>o of service iu »■!■ • ing a partner for life. I shall coniine my observations to the small circle us men, such as I have studied them aroun I the tea-ta-ble. If a man wipes his feet on the door-mat hefotc c,nu -nr into the room, vou itia ho sure he will make a rood domestic husband, if a man puts his lianderchief on his knees while taking) his tea, you may be Mire he will make . ...... i«,'it imsiimi,i. In the same way, always “iistrust the mail who will not oauing fm\l!i°£? ul ' hut prefers is not uulikelv he will make a greedy, i,..Mjand, with whom you will enjoy no “brown” at dinner, no crust at tea, no place whatever at home.—, The iii.in who is very careful of his own health is very apt to he careless of yours. All his sympathy is expended on himself. Tne mail who watches the kettle and prevents it boiling over, will not fail, mv dears, in his married state, in exercising the same care iu always keeping the pot boiling. The man who doesn’t take tea, ill-treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his hack to the fire, is a brute whom I would not advise you to marry under any consideration, either tor love or money, but most decidedly not for love.

A Delaware astronomer has just made an extraordinary discovery cn | the moon’s surface, which is likely to create a sensation in the scientific ' world, and, so to speak, destroy a few well-set theories in regard to that terra incognita On the 18th of last May the gentleman in question, Mr. J. G. Jackson, of Hockessin, Del., who has been for years a close observer of celestial phenomena, found in looking at the new moon tim t a white mist was floating over a portion of what is known as the Mare Crisium, a group of volcanic formation well known to astro corners. To the practiced eye such a discovery could not fail to be exceedingly interesting—in fact, little less than startling For an hour Mr. Jackson kept his telescope upon the spot, marking out clearly a large cloud of vapor arising several hundred feet above the Prornontorium Agarum, which is at the base ol the Mare Crisi- . um. Owing to the fact that the ter minator had moved over beyond the Mare Crisium, Owing to the fact that the terminator had moved over beyond the Mare Crisium, Mr. Jack- ... ,i ■ i,,.t.f’“ nhr.said nothing at the time, fearing that he might have made a mistake; hut he waited patiently for the next new ' moon, which occurred on June 17. 1 At this trial he was baffled on ac--1 count of the cloudiness of theweather. On last Sunday, however, ail of the > conditions were favorable, and he , watched eagerly to test the correctness , of his original observation. Sure i euough the feathery mist was there again, on the westerly edge of the . Mare Crisium against the Promon- [ torium Agrautu as he bad seen It on t May 19. He watched it again until i the moon had gone down in the west, and was fully confirmed of the extent and importance of the phenomenon as aftecting existing theories regard- ' ing the physical condition of the moon and her atmosphere. His notion is 1 I that this cloud forms by volcanic * action duiingthe lunar night of every L mouth, and can only be seen for one ■ particular evening, at about forfy- ‘ eight hours after conjunction (new - moon), just as the rays of the morning sun, in rising over the mountain of the Prornontorium Agarum, lie come suffleient to illuminate the mist, but not yet intense enough to dispel ,t or evaporate it. The fact that the . moon is then but a slender crescent, k generally low in the liaae of ouy horL n zon, seen but an hour or so before setting, Mr. Jackson thinks must be the > only reason why it has not been oftener K witnessed. I, The importance of the discovery v consists in that it establishes a fair >t premise for believing that the theory e that the moon is a dead world is incorl, rect, aud would appear to show, what has for years been denied by all astronomers, that the moon has an atmosphere. d On Thursday night last Mr. Jacksou claims that he made another dis-

covery in connection with this wonderful cloud. He distinctly saw at e the apex of the promontoriuiu a gar- . uin, above which the cloud has been . seen, three volcanic craters which . have never before been discovered by astronomers, and he thinks that the . cloud is produced by the bursting oi ; volcauic fires which opened tiiese 1 new craters, thus further tending to 1 establish the theory of physical life 1 on the moon, Mr. Jackson says that 1 when the great telescopes of the ) world are directed toward investigating this startling phenomenon he lias , no doubt tiial discoveries of incalcu- , iable importance will be made, which may revolutionize some of our present theories as to the physical condi- ’ tion of the earth’s statellite. Mr. Jackson is a most careful and painstaking scholar, and lias l>een an astronomer for nearly half a century.

You know most girls have eyebrows as far as they go, but, especially in blondes, this feature is defective, while even brunettes would generally wish to have more eyebrow than they can grow naturally.” “Why?” "Because it sets off the eye, and takes off that appearauce of boldness or bniginess which an unbrowed eye always has. If you ever see a young lady at her toilet, which of course you haven’t, , you will notice that tiie very last thing she does is to light a match and burn it so as to have as much charcoal as possible. Tiiis little crayon is then wet , with—with the dew on her rosebud i lips, and drawn lightly and skillfully across her brows in the true arch of June.

The eyebrows must be parted down the center, and this false bit, which is just an edge of hair carefully bandolined along the bottom, stuck in and combed lengthways with the eyebrows. It is extremely difficult to do thi3 properly, taking a great deai of time and trouble, and then when it is done the whole thing may be brushed out by accident. A girl has to take a whole lot of chances anyhow if she wants to look pretty.” Her Hair, it was Red. An exchange says : There is a comic as well a* a pathetic side to Mormon polygamy. Among the Mormon women at Utah, was one who accepted in full faith the polygamic revelation. She had found in polygamy an ample compensation in the supposed right of the first wife to choose her husband’s succeeding wives. This was tier argument: “If the first wile selects the other wives, it lias tiie effect of showing them that tiie husband thinkmuch of her judgment, and is willing to abide by it, and they will have to do the same. This is, of course, as it should be. But if she lets her husband choose liis own wife, he is almost certain to take a fancy to some one whom tiie first u ife does not like at all, and consequently, her authority is undermined. The first wife ought to keep all the power in her own hands.” The sequel of this lady’s story is extremely ludicrous. After she had chosen two other wives lor iter husband, he was so perverse as to chouse a fourth for himself, the fourth being not at all to iter liking, as site iierself admitted. This is her own account of tiie matter: “‘I tell you,’ said I, ‘l'm quile dissmstml w fj, »«,• of them—to go talki wU h her cat’s eyes and red hair!’ ‘Golden hair my dear,’ he said ; ‘Charlotte’s hair is staring red—as red as red can be,’ I told him; and then we had a regular light over it. I don’t mean that we came to blows, hut we had some hot words, and lie went out and left us two alone. Then that young hussy was impudent, and I know how it was, but somehow when we left off our conversation, 1 felt some of Charlotte’s red hair between niv fingers, and there,’ she said, innocently, holding, out quite a good sized tuft of auburn hair, •there I put it to you, Sister Steuhouse. is that red. or is it not?’” THE CARDINAL’S HAT. A Well'Pounded Humor that Areh bishop Feehan W ill Wear It It is rumored that the Most Reverend John P. A. Fetinan, the Roman archbishop of Chicago, will be created a cardinal at the approaching consistory. Os course, such ati announcement cannot be positive, and numerous instances have occurred when, common rumor having assigned the 1 cardinal’s hat to some .promineul member of the Catholic hierarchy, a widely different person has received the honor. The fact of the whole ■ matter is that until the whole eon- ■ sistory meets, the sole guardians of the secret of who are to be exalted to 1 the cardinalate are the pope and h s immediate advisers. For this reason it would be unwise to • accept the rumor as positively true, t But while this is so, there are • very many reasons, among them the fact that the honors is not wh • ly un expepteff, why it should not tie ills- • missed lightly and why Catholics in - this archdiocese may legitimately

After receiving his education at Maynooth he removed to this country, going to St. Louis in 1852 to assume charge of the Catholic theological school. Being afterwards sent to the church of the immaculate conception to perform parochial duty, he remained there until his consecration to the episcopate in 1885, when he became Bishop of Nashville, In 1879 the bishop came here as archbishop. His grace is much esteemed in this city, not only by members of his own communion but by the community at large. Os fine presence and affable manners, he Is a fayorite socially, while his abilities as an administrator are such as demand recognition. A great deal of misconception appears to exist as to the statUß of a cardinal, and much information more or less misleading has from time to time been placed before the public. The title of cardinal is very old, but the office as it now exists dates from a comparatively recent period. In 1567 Pope Pius V’. decreed that none but those created cardinal by the pontiff himself should bear the title, and Pope Sixtus V., in 1585, issued tiie bull “Posquam,” finally regulating the composition of the sacred college; of the members six were to be cardinal bishops,fifty cardinal priests, and fourteen cardinal deacons. It should be borne in mind that a bishop or an archbishop who is made a cardinal is not necessarily made a cardinal bishop, but may be a cardinal priest, and that tjerefore Archbishop Feehau’s title will not he Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago, but cardinal. Archbishop of Chicago. Prior to the regn of Pope Urban VIII. cardinals were styled “Hlustrissiuii,” since that they have been called "Emineutissimi,” and addressed as “Your Eminence.” Theinsiniaofa cardinal is tiie scarlet bat, and his vestments—unless he belong to a monastic order, when he dresses according to his especial rule—are of the same hue. Italians call this “purple,” and so, “to receive the hat,” or “to receive the purple” have come to he synonymous terms with “being made a cardinal.” A cardinal, who may be bishop, priest or deacon, is a prince of the church, and as a member of the sacred college takes part in the election of a new pope, Indeed, the pope is now exclusively chosen by and from this body. It may be observed that the selection of the archbishop of Chicago for elevation to the cardinalate, assuming the trutii »f what appears likely to be a well founded report, is a direst recognition of the metropolitan character and rap dly increasing commercial and religious importance of the city and the sea This would of itself caused the step to he regarded with general pleasure, which pleasure is of course much increased by tiie popularity of the person who will receive the honor.

Tne Summer Oars of Hewly-set Fruit Trees. In these days almost every enterprising farmer or owner of a pleasant home finds that each spring, in order to keep up with the times and the continuous wants of family and market, he needs to plant out more or less fruit trees or vines. Wo will suppose .that those have been wisely selected and well planted at the proper time. Summer advances. What can be best done for those trees? First, go at once and inspect them all; and with a prong hoe or some other suitable hoe mellow up the soil for three or four feet all about them, being careful not to disturb the roots; if mulching was neglected at planting, proceed at once to get some coarse material, and after the thorough mellowing of the soil apply the mulch so as to cover the entire area of the toots or a little more. The effect oi this will be first to smother the weeds, then to prevent excessive evaporation from the soil, and also to keep the earth beneath from packing down by frequent rains. The mulching serves belter than aught else to keep the proper aeration and moisture of tiie soil, both so necessary to strong and healthy vegetable growth. So much for the eurth; now for the tree. Examine carefully and see if tiie tree was properly pruned before planting; if not, take out every superfluous branch. Young troes should be thinned out so as to leave a very open bead. Cut out every branch which judgmeut shows would crowd at full growth. Imagine a branch to be eight inches or more in diameter and then decide whether or not it should be spared or cut. Young practiced. Tiie cutting of a’ Targe branch from a mature tree always injures the future health and longevity of the tree. Remembering this, cut the superfluous branches before they become large; calculation and good judgment will enable you to do wisely about tiiis. Again, examine the trees carefully for the scale insect, if you discover it flecking and coloriug the branches of your trees, at ouee take a clo.h and some diluted soft soap, and rub by hand until the last scale is dislodged. No halfway measures will answer. With vines, careful pruning and training will be necessary along duriug the season. • Josh Billing's ttrayer - New RevisionFrom tu many friends, and from things with lttco ends, deliver us!
