Albert Leachman and wife, of Knightsville, have been here visiting relatives and friends, while en route home from the World’s Fair. In the advertisement of the Boston Store, in our last issue, it was made to read “silk wash” henrietta; it should have read “silk warp” henrietta, as it was written by Mr. Adler the error was wholly the fault of the printer; is most annoying, and we openly express our regret. The friends and neighbors of Moses Boone to the number of about forty gathered at his residence, on Wednesday night, to do honor to his 46th birthday. Mose made a speech, there was plenty of good music, and the refreshments received the attention due on such an occasion. May ne live to enjoy many more such

birthday anniversaries.

“Here’s a chance for speculation,

Buy thermometers in the morning And they'll surely rise by noon.” A pond which Mr. Clark McDonald had dug on his farm four years ago went dry this summer, and when Mr. McDonald discovered this fact he also discovered that the bottom of ine pond was covered with dead fish from five to ten inches long. If the discovery had been made a little sooner Mr. McDonald would have had fish enough to supply the tables of the whole neighborhood.

Don't talk to me of the busy bee Improving each shining minute; With the fly that waits For hairless pates That bee is noway in it. Last week Albert Edwards sold to Lee Akers a herd of imported and registered Aberdeen Polled Angus cattle; the price for the five animals was $600, and they are said to be extra good. Samuel Gardner, of Fincastle, has attended the Bridgeton and Rockville Fairs, with his merino sheep betook every premium except one at Rockville, and nearly all the premiums at Bridgeton, the awards at the two fairs amounting to $112. He also took a number of premiums on his Chester White hogs and White Holland tur-

The Century has just come into the possession of one of the most unique and important historical documents of the age. It is a record of the daily life of Napoleon Bonaparte on board the English ship which bore him into captivity at St. Helena, as contained in the hitherto unpublished journal of the secretary of the admiral in charge. The reports of the many conversations held by the admiral with the deposed Emperor regarding his important campaigns are given with great fulness, and there is much about the bearing and the personal habits of Bonaparte during the voyage. The Memoirs of La Cases contain the story of the Emperor’s deportation as told by a Frenchman and a follower; this diary is an English gentleman’s view of the same memorable journey, and ofthe impressions made by daily contact with the man who had had all Europe at his feet. The diary will be published in early

numbers of The Century. That O’Rorko Caao.

A special from Bloomington, Ind., says: A few days ago mere was published a short dispatch from Terre Haute, giving the particulars of the death of Mrs. O’Rorke, in effect that her body had been fouqd on the Vandalia railroad, and it was supposed that she had accidentally walked from the fast-running train and was killed. The remains were taken to Terre Haute for identification. The woman was from Bloomington, and a story is connected with her unfortunate death that is pathetic in its details. For a number of years her mind lias been unbalanced. She was the bride of a soldier twenty years ago, who was in the regular army and was in Texas along the frontier guarding the Indians. A short time before, while teaching in a Kansas town she was married to the young soldier, and she accompanied him for a short trip. Shortly after dark one night a month later, while quietly resting in a tent, a noise was heard on the outside and young O’Rorke went out to see what was the matter. In a few minutes a gunshot was heardTand the body of her dead husband was carried to the feet of the young wife, a bullet having pierced the lirain. The bride fainted away, and ever after her mind was

Congress Since 1859. It is commonly said that the Democratic party is now responsible lor legislation for the first time since 1861, this last being the the date of the inauguration of the first Republican President. But, to be exact, it is necessary to go back two years farther. During the first half of Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, that is to say from March 4, 1857, to March 4, 1859, the Democrats had control of every department of the Government. John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, presided over a Democratic Senate, and James L. Orr, of South Carolina, was the Speaker of a Democratic House. The Democratic party was then able to perfect legislation, and was responsible for the laws that were

enacted.

After March 4, 1859, this condition of things no longer existed. When Congress met in December a long struggle ensued over the organization of the House, which ended on February 1, 1860, with the election of Willian Pennington, of New Jersey, a Republican. From March 4, 1859, until last month, a period of more than thirty-four years, there has been no strictly Democratic legislation, except such as received the assent of a Republican President. In 1861 the Republicans inaugurated their first President and controlled both houses of Congress. This control lasted till 1875, when the Democrats controlled the House for the first time after the war. In 1876 they again had the House, but the Republicans had the Senate and the President. In 1879 the Democrats had both houses, but the Republicans had the President. From 1881 to 1883 the Republicans had both houses and the Presidency, though they held the

Malone. From 1883 to 1889, the Democrats had the House, and from 1885 to 1889 the President, but the Republicans had the Senate. From 1889 to 1891 the Republicans were again in full control, and did much to create the conditions from w’hich the country is now suffering. In 1891 the Democrats regained control ofthe House, and in the present year have again obtained control of the Presidency and the

Senate.

Tims in thirty-four years the Democrats had the Presidency six years, the Senate four and the House fourteen years, but never had all three at one time. The Republican had the Presidency twenty eight years, the Senate thirty and the House twenty years. During eighteen years they had control of both houses and the Presidency.

A Woman’s Opinion About What Congress Ought to Do. “My dear,” said the well-informed newspaper man, as he looked patronizingly at his wife and sipped his evening tea, “we are going to have a great paper this week.” “Oh, you are?” she answered. “What will be in it more than usual?” “Why, for one thing, the proceedings of the special session of Con-

gres.”

“Congrt ss! What’s Congress meeting for at this time of the year? I thought —” “Yes, you thought—but you don’t think at all. Haven’t you seen all the accounts of the stringency in the money market and the President’s proclamation declaring the necessity for an extra session?” “I believe I did, come to think of it. And so Congri ;a is meeting about the money string' icy, is it?” * “Of course. What do you suppose it would meet about—remnants, or bargain counters?” “No, I’m not that kind of a fool. I know that Congress has power to issue money, and it is my opinion—if you want to know—that Congress ought to issue lots of it.” “Oh, it ought, ought it?” And what good would that do you? How would you get any more money that

way?”

“Why, if Congress issued a big pile of money, you, as one of the most deserving men in the country, would get a big share of it Don’t you see?” The newspaper man came very near seeing. It was such a clever and wellworded compliment. But he only r said:

The Congress cannot issue paper money with the mere declaration, ‘This is One Dollar.’ It must have something on which to base the issue. It must have security for its note, just as the national banks are required to deposit Government bonds for every dollar issued by them in the name of the Government. Do you understand that?” “No, I don’t. I only know that Congress has power to issue money, or to make money all it wants to and when there is no money in the country, Congress ought to meet its duty and give the people more money.” “But how? How could the new money get into circulation? How would you got hold of it unless you had wheat or corn or mules to sell? Do you suppose the Government goes about with a big basket distributing bank notes to people who want money?” “I don’t know what Congress does. I only know what it ought to do. It ought to issue lots of money and give it to the hard-working, industrious and deserving poor. That’s my platform.” “You’re a flat money supporter. That is what you are. I can’t make you understand this thing at all.” “No, you can’t make me understand it your way. I know what Congress ought to do, and you are just hunting places for it to crawl out.” And so the newspaper man hurried away and got a cheap cigar and spent the remainder of the evening in thoughts that were plentifully besprinkled with dashes. But when he simmered down it occured to him that many statesmen were not so very far ahead of his good wife in financial knowledge. Robbed the Depositors. Kansas Citv, Mo., Aug. 21.—Warrants have been sworn out before Justice Latshow for the arrest.of President J. C. Darragh and Cashier E. C. Battles, of the defunct Kansas City Savings bank.

HOW TC SEE THE FAIR.

The View From the Knof of the I.ari;en>

Italldlnf In the World.

Visitors to the World's Fair should not miss taking their first look at the wonderful White City by the lake from the roof of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building. From thin point of vantage the whole panorama of buildings, lake, lagoons, walks and drives is spread out like a map to on chant the eyes and senses of th. visitor. A promenade of nearly a mile nearly 250 feet above the grounds is at once exciting and exhilarating. From this coign of vantage the intending sightseer can obtain the “lay of the land” and fix in his mind the location and extent of the exhibition, state and foreign buildings. On the West, Midway Flaisance can be seen, peopled with citizens from every country under the sun, with its domes and spires and minarets glistening in the sun; at thi North the spires of a thousand churches, and the lofty sky-scrapers ol the wonderful city, which has within the memory of men yet active in business life, attained a population, second only to one, in the Western world; tr the East onja clear day,across the lake, may be seen the wooded hills of Michigan, and on the lake the sails of a thousand vessels spread to the breeze. But if the view during daylight is sublime what adjectives must b* used to describe the scene at night. A« darkness approaches and the electric lights blossom forth, one by one at first, then in platoons, encircling the basin in the Court of Honor, and the cornices, pediments, doors and capitals of the holdings, in serpents of light, then, and only then, can the beauty of this crowning effort of man be fully appreciated. The moving launches and gondolas on the basin and lagoons, hung with gayly colored hunt rns; the songs of the boatmen and pleasure seekers: the struins of divin music from a half a dozen hands; the electric fountains raining streams of livi- :fire; Mac Monie’s stately rowers in the good ship Columbia, and the gold be locked statue of Columbia in calm and majestic mien, all these conspire to present a scene unequalled and unrivalled in

the history of the world.

At the North-west corner of this promenade will be found the most powerful search light in existence, throwing a ray of dazzling light a distance of seventy miles. The visitor should not fail to examine the mechanism of this wonderful machine, and note the ingenuity of its construction. Again we say to those who contemplate a trip to the World's Fair, do not fail to take a trip to the roof of the Manufactures building, both by day and at night. Elevators in the north end of Columbia Avenue, in the center of the building render access easy and

pleasant. *

Portrait Diary One Mother Keeps of Her lAttltt Son. Photographing her own baby is one of the occupations of the modern mother. And if she has a knack at the art and has reached a fair degree of skill her work is apt to be a perfect success. She lias her subject at a greater advantage than any professional photographer ever can. Her knowledge of the baby’s character and moods and her being able to take him at just his most bewitching moment count for more in thex portrait than the trained artist's higher powers.
