R., on the announcement of th death of Comrade General U. S. Grant, appointed a committee to make arrangements for a suitable memorial service, to be conducted by the Post, and the entire community will be invited to join with them. The funeral services are announced to take place on Tuesday of week after next, when the wlioD nation will participate in the last sad rites. Due notice will be given of arrangements made for proper observance at this place.

Uncle Tom liobinson returned last Saturday from a trip to Kansas, the home of hisgrea political leader, ex-Gov. John P. St. John. ■ Price & Price, attorneys, Highmore, Dakota, lost their library Thursday of last week. It was jjcycloned.” Some of the volumes have been heard of up in Manitoba. Charlie writes to a friend here that he intends to stay in that section if there should be a cyclone every day and two on Sunday. Our old friend Joe Sain, of Monon, has been appointed postmaster for that place. A good selection, and we extend congratulations.

About tlie thinnest thing out, is the effort of the Republican editors to impress their readers with the idea that the Democratic administration is responsible and -hould be censured for the financial •mash-up of John Roach. As the Republican administration had almost paid the contract price for tne Dolphin, it is hardly necessary to add that John Roach’s failure, if failure it is, cannot be attributed to the Government. Tne cheap foreign labor, imported to ffil the places of Americans in tne iron works at Cleveland, Ohio, is costing the people more than it i oines to. Hundreds of extra police, damaged property, suspension of business costs farm excess of the thrifty, fairly paid Americans. It might be well to let these soulless corporations protect their own property in times in which they have themselves occas. ioned strifes with their employes and presumed upon their weakness. The police jand militia should hardly be used to enforce oppression. These corporations are protected against foreign competition, but our toiling citizens are not protected against competition with imported foreign cheap labor. Our hard-fisted, sinewy sous of toil are entitled to an equalization in this matter, instead of being required to face the clubs of the policemen or the bayonets- of the military.

Gentlemen, I cannot permit a question of mere rev nue to be considered alongside of a question of morals, but give me a sober population, not wasting their earnings ofl strong drink, and I will know where to get my revenue.- T Gladstone to Brewers of London. Miss Bessie Hincks, a prominent member of Boston society, was walking in that city, when her dresr caught fire from a smouldering fire cracker, and she was horribly burned, death following in a few hours

A Pathetic Address in “oiirt. Capt. E. T. Johnson, of Indianapolis, recently on trial and acquitted at Greenville, Tenn., for the killing of Major Henry, in 1884, for debauching his wife, who afterwards committed suicide, made the following extraordinary speech in Kokomo some years age, as reported at the time in the papers of that city: “E. T. Johnson tried his first case since his resumption of the practice of the law in Kokomo last week. As is known, his long illness has seriously impaired his hearing, and he was compelled to use a large, uncouth ear-trumpet in order to hear the testimony of witnesses and the cross questh ning of the opposing counsel, on - of whom was an attorney named Garngus, and who took occasion once or twice to be merry over the big tin horn. In his speech Johnso* retorted as follows: “Several times during this trial the gentleman has sneered contemptuously at my infirmity, and at the unsightly ear-tr . mpet it compels me to use. My dear sir, if this trumpet is s > distasteful to you, try to imagine how loathsome it is to me. I never look at it without a shudder. My hand never touches it that I do not struggle with the impulse to lling it from me as the most hideous thing on earth. Should you put that trumpet to your ear you would hear sounds that would make your very eyeballs start from their sockets. You would hear the heaving and tossing of the most dreadful billows of suffering that ever rolled across a human soul. You wo’d hear groans unutterable, denoting the agony both physical and mental through which I have passed during the last five gears. L.,..,: “ ‘You would hear the fierce shock of a lofty ambition suddenly dethroned, and the tumbling and falling of crushed and ruined hopes. Try again, and you may hear the heart-broken cry of a young father as he strained his deaf ears in vain to catch the whispered words of his dying child. “Jesus Christ—blessed be His holy name! often wept but never jeered at the misfortunes of humanity. My friend, I know you did not mean what you said; tire words came from vourj lips, not from your heart. And 1 now give you back your flings, with this assurance: If the heavy hand of missortune should ever be laid on you, stripping you of yoitr splendid and perfect manhood, in all the wide world no heart will offer you more profound ami sincere sympathy 1 then mine.”- l’ivi* >nth Democrat.

Free Liquor.

"I’m out getting opinions on liquor selling,” said a sharp reporter to a saloonist. “Are you in favor of free liquors ?” “Well, I should smile,” answered the barkeeper. “I tliiuk this country is the home of liberty, and I believe every man should have a right to drink what he pleases, and where be pleases, absolutely free, and all legislation to the contrary is sumptuary and therefore unconstitutional. ” “You want to be so recorded?” “You bet your sweet life.” “All right; now I’ll take a glass of champagne; that kind you sell at 25 cents. ” It was set out for him, and he poured it down and poured another in on top of it and started off. “Hold on,” said the bartender, “you owe me half a dollar. ” “No, I don’t; didn’t you just say you believed in free liquor, and that anything to the contrary is sumptuary and unconstitutional? If there’s anything I do like to see it is a man who lives up to his principles,” and he walked out, wiping his mouth on his coat sleeve, and leaving the saloon man to study up the law points of the case.

Mrs. Barbauld’s Childhood.

One can fancy the little aesatfuoni girl, industrious, impulsive, interested tn everything—in all life and all nature —drinking in, on every side, learning, eagerly wondering, listening to all around with bright and ready wit. There is a pretty little story told by Mrs. Ellis in her book abont Mrs. Barbauld, how one day, when Dr. Aiken and a friend “were conversing on the passions,” the doctor observes that joy cannot have place in a state of perfect felicity, since it supposes an accession of ; happiness. “ I think yon are mistaken, | papa,” says a little-voice from the opposite side ot the table. “Why so, my 1 child?” says the doctor. “Because in ; the chapter I read to yon this morning, in the Testament, it is said that ' there Is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repeneth than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance.’” Besides her English Testament and her early reading, the little girl was taught by her mother to do as little daughters did in those days—to obey a somewhat austere rule, to drop curtsies in the right SI ace, to make beds, to preserve fruits. 'he father, after demur, but Burely not i without some paternal pride in her proficiency, taught the child Latin and French and Italian, and something ol Greek, and gave her an acquaintance with English literature. One can imagine little Nancy, with her fair head bending over her lessons, or, when playing-time had come, perhaps a little lonely and listening to the distant voices of the schoolboys at their games. The mother, fearing she might acquire rough ana boisterous manners, strictly forbade any communication with the schoolboys. Sometimes in after days, speaking of these early times and of the constraint of many by-gone rules and regulations, Mrs. Barbauld used to attribute to this early, formal training something of the hesitation and shyness which troubled her and never entirely wore off. She does not seem to have been in any great harmony with her mother. One could imagine a fanciful and high-spirited child, timid and dutiful, and yet strongwilled, secretly rebelling against the rigid order of her home, and feeling lonely for want of liberty and companionship. It was true she had birds and beasts and plants for her playfellows, but she was of a gregarious and sociable nature, and perhaps she was unconsciously longing for something more, and feeling a want in her early life which no silent company can supply.— The Cornhill Magazine.

HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS.

In frying meat, fish or fowl, never se* them back on the stove to cool in the grease. Always take up while it is boiling hot. Roast beef, or fowl, will be much nicer if they are kept covered while roasting; it keeps them moist; uncover just time enough to let them brown. Brown Bread. —Take three teacups of corn meal, stir into it two cups of boiling sweet milk; when cold, add one cup of wheat flour ami one cup of sour milk; into the hour milk stir well one teaspoonful of soda; add one-half teaspoonful of salt; steam three hours. Apple Puffets. —Two eggs, one pint of milk, sufficient flour to thicken, as waffle batter, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking-powder; fill teacup alternately with a layer of butter and then of apples chopped fine; steam one hour. Serve hot, with flavored crearu ana sugar. Cream Pis..—Three eggs, one cup sugar, one and one-half cups flour, table-spoonful of sweet miik, two teaspoonfuls of baking-powder; bake in a shallow pan. Cream: three eggs, one pint of milk, three table-spoonfuls of flour, five table-spoonfuls sugar; a little salt, flavor to taste, and boil until thick. Egg Toast. —Beat four eggs, yelks and whites together, thoroughly; put two table-spoonfuls of butter iuto a saucepan and melt slowly; then pour in the eggs and heat without boiling over a slow fire, stirring constantly; add a little salt, and when 'not spread on slices of nicely -browned to.-.st, and serve at once. Macaroni. —Simmer on e-half/pound of macaroni in plenty of water till tender, but not broken ; strain off the water. Take flu- yelks of five and the whites of two eggs, one-half' pint of cream, white meat and ham chopped fine, three spoonfuls of grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper; heat all together, stirring constantly. Mix with the macaroni, put into a buttered mold and steam one hour.
