THE INDIAKA STATE SENTIHEE, A-WEDNESDAY iMOBETINGrV JUKE IT, 1879. :UVV

WEDNESDAY. JUNE U.

The Catholic church has 64 cardinals, of -whom SS are Italians. Tracity of Elizabeth, N. J., has oeen sued on bends amounting to the snug little o $i;515,000. Tee Grant boomers in Ohio do not Sake kindly to Charley Foster. They will give hfca a booming bounce in October. The Zulu is an expensive savage. Eng land pays $2,500,000 a weec lor nis auuitary education, and he learns remarkably well. Accordiss to well-authenticated reports, thorn fa a. stamnede in the camps of the colored voters of Ohio, a large per cent, of whom declare they will vote for twing. Co.vgress has the case of General Fltz John Porter in its hands, and iuatice to that gal lant officer, for for years the victim of the most cruel wrongs, snoald not be aeiayea. The estimate is that 10,000,000 barrels of beer will be manufactured and sold during the year 1879. Already during the first nine months of the current fiscal year 7,252,791 barrels have bsen sold. Govcaxox . H.-DBBABD. of Connecticut, ought to feel Just a little happy when he reads that the pnnce of Wales frequently takes a cab, puts the driver inside, while he mounts the box and handles the ribbons. The Cincinnati Gazette is determined to Tiava Mr. Murat Halstead. of the Commer o.iai aDDointed secretary of war. Now, then, what can Mr. Halstead do for the Gazette? We presume it would be satisfied with a small contract. Charley Foster says his nomination or governor of Ohio has "no national significance." We conclude that Charley is cor rect in his view of the subject, and he might have added that the nomination has precious little significance of any sort. The Legislature of Michigan passed a bill vacating offices, the incumbents of which are found guilty of "getting drunk." The governor vetoed the bill, because it was in violation of the constitution. As a conse quence, the official Michiganders may take their toddy as usual. Lord Lobxe and Louise snubbed Beecher, the- chaplain of the Brooklyn regiment, which went to Canada to dance attendance upon royalty. Evidently the viceroy knows all about Beecher, and by giving him to understand that his presence was an Insult, lie honored Canada, America and humanity. Ms. Justice Miller has refused to interfere in the matter of the habeas corpus case of Standing Bear and his handful of Poncas, who fled from the Indian Territory, and were captured by the military. As a result, Judge Dundy's decision stands, and in one case, at least, the civil law triumphs over military rule. Mb. McCraky, Hayes' secretry of war, is to be nominated for the office of United tates judge. He is an extreme and violent partisan, which disqualifies him for the position. Already the United States courts are overrun with Republican politicians, and the Senate, which now has the power, .should put a stop to the business. Co los el Dudley, United States marshal, warmly congratulated General Harrison on the conviction of Wilkerson, of Jenning eouoty. He seemed overjoyed. As a question of good taste, would it not be as well for Marshal Dudley to show less partisanship? Is the marshal's office to be turned into a partisan den for the persecution of Democrats? That is a fair question. More attention to duty and less zjal in hunting Repub Lcsd jarara would be as well. Seal Dow "V iiat the Maine liquor law is a success. II V the prohibition in Maine is as well enforot" M other criminal laws are. It has absolute' abolished distilleries, breweries and wine fat,orles 11 has absolutely driven the liquor traffic .OQ of 411 our rural districts, smaller towns and viJ1e and in the larger towns has driven it in. dark, dirty, secret holes, kept almost exclusively by the lowest class of foreigners. II has reduced the sale of liquors in this State to at least one-tenth of what it was before. ' He adds: "There is no principle of government, no public policy more thoroughly settled in Maine than this. It is as firmly fixed here as the vote by ballot; as the registry law and the voting list and the free vote in order to secure an honest election. The Legislature of Maine in 1877, without a dissenting vote, passed an additional act of greater stringency than any which had preceded it; and the last Legislature by a vote of 127 to 1" reaffirmed the whole policy of the Maine law, and anew gave in its adhesion to it" AWAY, AWAY, A WAT. The summer has com and now a great many people, who have money, are talking and planning about leaving the city for a residence at some life-giving, health-restor ing retreat daring the warm season. They are going away. That much is settled. Where? Ah, that's the question. Well, it is something to be proud of, and thankful for, that the country is bigger than the city, and any one seeking repose and recuperation need not be embarrased in finding the right place. But it bo happens in these latter , days that leisure and repose are not all that is wanted by those who go forth from the cities during the "heated term." Common sense is by no means supreme in map ping out the lines of travel, nor in selecting the place of resort. Fashion, the fickle gooddess who rules her votaries with despotic sway, insists upon exercising her prerogatives, and is generally successful in securing the best ear of the ambitious mam mas, and in influencing their decisions. - As a result, in looking over the long list of desirable localities, those ' dedicated to fashion take the lead.:. At such places no ' substantial rest can be found. It ia all dressing, , dancing. flirting, love-making. Such places have be

come, in modern times, great expositions of human wares and merchandise, ' where the

beanx talk of fortunes and belles of titles, and indiscreet mammas barter son and daugh ters for wealth and station, regardless of the future welfare of the chatties they offer on the market where speculators get tip corners on beauty and booty as they do on grain and stocks. But there is no way to put a stop to this nonsense, ' this cruelty ' to animals, and the miserable business will proceed in 1879 as it has in years by gone. The society papers will continue to tell of loye and betrothals, altars and orange blossoms, bridal costumes, decorations and honeymoons, and then the courts will record in due time desertions and divorces, and many a young wife, in the loneHnesi of coming years, will wish that in the "days of her aaaiden beauty and bloom she had spent the season of 187 at some quiet place, where, if the society had been less ostentatious,sbe would have secured more happiness, store health and more of everything that goes to make up the sum total of real bliss. Never mind. All who contemplate a sojourn In the country are not swayed by such ambitions. They will go away in search of health, comfort, rest and pleasure. These will steer clear of Saratoga, Long Branch, Newport and some other places, where all is fashion and fustion. If sea bathing and sea air is wanted, there are, from New York to Bangor, a thousand land locked bays, where every salt water luxury may be enjoyed without contact with those who are only happy in the midst of social whirls and fashionable dissipations. For those who have no taste for salt water, no desire for surf bathing and no ear for the music of the "sounding sea," there are a thousand places by lake and stream in the West and Northwest, where in bonny boats they may hear the dipping oar; where beneath umbrageous trees they may recline, where sylvan dells abound, where forest songsters give free concerts and gentle zephyrs fan faded and fevered cheeks, and where, removed from - the busy haunts of men, beyond ' the . din and strife of contending interests, they may laugh and grow fat and strong upon snbstantials, such as buttermilk and corn bread, which, though not of the poetical cuisine, give health and sound sleep, strengthening body and brain, and prepare those who banquet upon them for the stern battles of life. Then here's a toast to the unfashionable summer retreats and to those who seek them during the heated term, that they may build up their wasted energies and get ready for the fall and winter campaigns in the great centers of population. - LET US REASON TOGETHER. In addition to Frank Landers' greenback party strength and popularity, as a competitor for the nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket, the fact that he resides at the capital is much in his favor. For years Indianapolis and Southern Indiana politicians in Lotii parties have done abont as they pleased in placing men in nomination. We have been fearful (or some time past that these managers would draw the line of territory so tight, that people in Northern Indiana wouldn't even be permitted to vote for the tickets nominated. We believe that the time la not far distant when the harmony of both parties will require a departure ironi the old and established rules. The above, which we clip from the Warsaw Union, is of a piece with the efforts now being made in some quarters to prejudice the Democracy of the State against Indianapolis and her public men. We have something to say upon this subject, and what we say will be predicated npon the records. We suppose the Democracy - of the State desires to know just how much grounds there are for such statements as that of the Union; therefore, we have taken some pains to obtain the necessary data to inform it. In 1873 the total revenue paid into the State treasury was $1,130,052.78, of which Marion county paid $109,802.29, or a fraction less than one-tenth of the whole. In 1373 Marion county paid into the State treasury for school purposes $145,600.22, and drew therefrom $39,033.22. It will be observed that a very large portion of the money she pays for school purposes is taken from her and given to other counties of the State. Therefore, it is apparent that during the last 10 years over $500,000 has been taken from this county and appropriated to the support of schools elsewhere. Having considered the claims of Marion county upon the Democracy of the State from a financial standpsint, let us csnsider them from a political one. The total vote of Indiana for president in lsT WM 431,030, of which Marios county cast 21 Cf or 00Qt one-eighteenth of the whole. Of number 11,336 were cast for Tilden and l7"fldricia. Her Demosritic vote is about one greater than that of Allen, and three times trreater than that of any other county in the State. Now, how are her 11,336 Democratic votes represented in the State government? Solely by Ju.ge Perkins, of the supreme court, ye has no other ofcer ia the StttQ government. AV.en Caunty, Vita 7,732 Democratic Trer?, has the treasurer of state, the super intendent of public instruction and a supreme judge. Cass county, with 3,506 Democratic voters, has a supreme judge. Floyd county, with 2,96) Democratic voters, has a supreme judge. . Johnson county, with 2,363 Democratic voters, has the attorney general and the state librarian. Knox county, with 3,058 Democratic voters, has the governor and a supreme judge. i . . ., Montgomery county, with 3,201 Democratic voters, has the auditor of state. Perry county, with 1,723 Democratic voters, has the clerk of the supreme court, Randolph county, with 1,922 Dettfbcratio voters, has the lieutenant governor.and, until a few months ago, the secretary of state also. Vanderburg county, with 3,931 Democratic voters, has the secretary of state. Wells county, with 2,339 Democratic voters, has the reporter of the supreme court. Manon county, with 11,386 Democratic voters, has a judge of the supreme court. Thus it will be seen that of the 13 State officers, seven of them reside north of the National roal, and of the other six, one lives at Indianapolis, and the homes of the other five are south of the National road. , Now, how does our esteemed extemporary like this showingf lt can not controvert the figures we v' have , glveofor ;. they are taken from the record. They

certainly testify to tha fact that our North

ern friends have their full share of the offices, and have no good cause for complaint. - We would feel ourselves remiss in our duty if we did not ' say something complimentary of the gallant Democracy of Marion county. It Is In a hopeless minority, but that fact in nowise dampens its ardor. It goes into battle with colors flying and hearts undaunted. It fights its battles as bravely as though it expected the fruits of victory. No Democrat holds an office in our city government, and but one in our county govern ment. It seems to us our cotemporary, the Warsaw Union, should not begrudge the Democracy of this city the single State officer it has. We suggest that if, Instead of opening its guns on the Democracy of the capital, it will bring them to bear on the common enemy. It will feel better when its powder is burnt. We submit to our Democratic friends throughout the State that the way to win the battle in 1330 is not to bind and shackle the Democracy of this city. Its hands should be strengthened, not weakened, by its political brethren elsewhere. It is sorely no crime to live at the capital and work in the Democratic ranks. A vote in Marion county counts as much for the State ticket as a vote elsewhere, and surely the 11.3S6 Democrats of Marion county are entitled to some little consideration. The Democracy of the other counties of the State should remember that these men are their political brethren. They are children dwelling in the tents of their fathers, and not aliens. They clasp hands with Democrats everywhere and consider them brethren, whether they live on the banks of the Ohio or -have their homes north of the Wabash river. Brethren, let us dwell together in unity. GENERAL TOM E WING'S SERENADE. The Democrats in Washington gave General Tom Ewing a grand serenade on Friday evening last at Willard's Hotel. The occa sion is spoken of as one of great enthusiasm and confidence, and Senator Thurman presided and made a brief address. In the course of his remarks the distinguished senator said: My fellow-citizens, let me tell you for your encouragement; let me say for the encouragement of the Democracy In e- jry State and district and Territory of the United 8 tates that the Democracy of Ohio are In dead earnest this year; that they mean to achieve victory; that they fight for the principles that underlie our republican institutions, the Institutions bequeathed us by our fathers; that they fight for impartial Juries, for free and fair elections and to lift the load from the shoulders ot labor by which it has been so long oppressed. And I tell you, my friends, unless I am more mistaken than ever 1 have been' in my lire, when the news shall come from Ohio it will be news that will make every Democratic heart from Maine to California beat with renewed vigor and cheer every man who loves his country and encourage htm In trie belief of the perpetuity of the Republic Yes, my fellowcitizens, we have buried all discord in Ohio, we have buried all sectionalism in Ohio, we have buried all revolution and jealousy in Ohio, and we will look forward in this campaign as one man, determined to save the Republic, and determined to Have that liberty, that freedom and those equal rights which make the Republic and its perpetuity worthy ot desiring and worthy of existence. These words of Senator Thurman were received with great applause. There is no mistaking their significance. The Democrats of Ohio are in earnest. They are solid and firmly united. They will put the Republican conspirators on the defensive and compel them to explain their despotic policy. The speech of the occasion, however, was made by General Ewing, the Democratic standard-bearer of the campaign. "I venture to say," said General Ewing, "that of those who followed the Union flag during the war, there are a greater proportion in Ohio than in any other State who, for 12 years past, have resented and resisted the Republican party in its greed of power; in its gross and flagrant infractions of the constitution; in its cruel and shameful robbery of the masses of its people for the benefit of pet corporations or individuals. Cheers. That same patriotic heroism which led them to risk their lives in defense of the Union has led them to cut looss from the Republican party, and to make war on its infan.ous system of policy, which has donbled the burdens and woes of war. Ohio sits in the center, and itself, about evenly balanced between the two chief parties, is the pivot on which national politics now turn." The gallant general warmed up as he proceeded, and showed that this Ohio campaign is national in its issues. It is not more a campaign of 1879 than of 1830. It is not an Ohio campaign, but that of the whole country, and this fact General Ewing vividly seis forth. UeiaysJ . But It is not Ohio's battle' We are to fight in October, no more than It was Carolina's at tha Cowpens, or New Jersey's at Trenton. Nor is it the battle of one political organization against another for mere possession of power and the spoils of office. It is a battle of the whole American people to preserve and perpetuate the fundamental principles of the Governmeat cheers, fair Juries( free ballots and exemption from the tyranny and spoliation of class legislation. In that straggle, fellow-citizens, we ask the sympathy and support of all men who are lovers of true Democracy.' It is to be a tremendous fight. The Republican party, entrenched in power, backed by over 2, .00 National banks, sustained by all (he plunderers and leeches that have fastened themselves npon the Government for 18 years past, will go into that contest with every appliance of power that it is possible to command. They know If they lose Ohio this year they will lose the presidential campaign next year. As Napoleon fought for Qnatre Bras the day preceding Waterloo, so the Republican party will fight for Ohio this year, and with the same result. They will lose It. And tne battle that takes place In 1880 will be the last great struggle that political party will fight under its present regime. Cheers. We will win the fight, and thereby lead the way to victory next year; and we will bring back oar general Government to Its true orbit. We wll1 give to the people of this country a system of revenue that Is just to the laboring masses; a system of currency issued only by the people's Government, and will give to the country the boon of fraternity and cor-oord between our lately warring sections, which shall last long after the memories of ou unhappy war shall have been sunk Into oblivion. . Such ringing words will find a response in every State in the Union. They1 map out the coming contests. They state the issues. They inspire confidence, and will lead on to victory. ' -

A DETROIT ROMANCE.1

The Poverty-Stricsea Widow of ft Cincinnati Manufacturer, : Restored to Affluence and Wealth Almost by Magic Detroit Free Press. During the past three weeks there has been enacted a scene in this city which had a most gratify ing result, and which, if incorporated in a drama, would probably I e designated by the critics as "too melodramatic," or "too improbable for real life." However, il did occur, and It affected more or less some of the oldest and most Wealthy residents of the city. About nine years ago a prominent manufacturer died in Cincinnati, leaving a widow and three children, and an estate variously estimated as worth from $50,000 to $100,000, but in such a shape that the widow and children could receive no immediate great benefit. With her personal property and such money as she could raise, the widow came to this city with her children, and, while attorneys at Cincinnati undertook the management of the unsettled estate, she rented a house in Detroit and began taking boarders, much to the embarrassment of numerous wealthy relatives here. The business caused the widow to gradually use up her slight capital, and about two months ago she fully realized thatkteplag boarders was not her forte, and that something must be done Immediately to relieve herself from actual want. Her relatives, who had often helped her, were called in consultation, and it was abont decided that they should provide her with a modest, coraforta ble home, and set apart for her a small annuity. AKhongh during her nine long years of widowhood and trials the lady -had often visited Cincinnati to look after her interests, each time being put off with promises and explanations, she begged her relatives to send her once more to Cincinnati to see if by some unknown possibility there might not be some small benefit left from her has band's estate. The relatives consented, and two months ago she went to Cincinnati, wLen she learned that her husband's estate had been entirely swallowed up, and that there was no possibility that she would ever get a cent therefrom. The shock although not wholly unexpected was jo great that the unfortunate lady was stricken with uaralysis, and the attack was so severe that for several days her life hung upon a thread. Her life was spared, however, and discouraged, almost hopeless, she retured to the city, where she summoned her eldest son, who had been living In a town in Ontario, to assist her in arranging for the hnmble retirement, which was to be supported by the charity of her wealthier relatives. During the conversation between the mother and son, the latter asked her if she was certain that she had fonnd and examined all the papers left by his dead father. The mother was absolutely certain that she had searched for and examined everything. Still the son suggested that they might again look over his father's old trunks and boxes, and the Bearcn began. After carrying on the investigation a long time they came upon a small tin box whose hasp was held by a bit of wood, and which had been kicSed about the attic from the time of the father's death. The box was again thrown aside because it was thought tocontain nothing but a lot of worthless insurance policies, valueless receipts and notes, and the inspection continued until every nook and corner had been rant acked. On his way out of the attic the son kicked the little tin box, and picked it up, with the remark that he would "take it down stairs and look it over, just for fun." Arriving at the family sitting room, the son began overhauling the contents of the box, while his mother resumed her house hold duties. Suddenly the son came upon a package of official-looking documents, and, opening them, discovered that they were railroad bonds bonds of railroads high in Wall street quotations, and to all appearance worth their facs value, which is $30,000. The discovery was an overwhelming surprise, and the thought that they were valuable was news almost too good to entertain for an instant. The bonds were taken, however, to Win B. Moran, who examined them and corresponded with the officials of the railroads they represented, when the unexpected and gratifying news was learned that the bonds were not only worth $30,000, but that the interest on them since 1SU6 bad not been claimed or paid, but that the principal and interest amount to about $50,000. Mr. Moran, as soon as he gained the facts, communicated them to the overjoyed widow, who is now receiving the congratulations of relatives and friends over her almost magical rescue from poverty. Mr. Moran has the bonds in his possession and is prosecuting the business of their collection with every prospect ot early success. How Collars and Cuff's Are Washed at Troy. The manufactories at Troy, N. Y., produced last year 3,290,000 dozen of collars and cuffs and 183,800 dozen of shirts. The Troy Times, in describing the laundry process in those manufactures, says: "When received from the manufacturers, the collars and cuffs are first placed in the wash-wheels for the purpose of rinsing out or extracting all discoloring or foreign matter; These wash-wheels are hugi wooden cylinders revolving within larger cylinders. The outer or stationary cylinder is separated from the inner or revolving cylinder by a surrounding space, into which, by means of valves, steam, water mad soapy solutions are introduced. The movable cyl nder la radially divided into four compartments, each of which ia perforated for the admission of tha washing solutions. From four to five hundred dozens of e illars and enfis can be effectively rinsed or wished at one time in one of these wheels. Their rate ot revolution is so governed that the goods are alternately lifted and dropped, from the top to the sides of the compartments, in such a manner as to subject them to a pounding action which thoroughly cleanses them without any injury, to the goods. This operation occupies from 30 to 40 minutes. "The goods are then put in a hydroextractor or centrifugal wringer. This machine consists of an outer or stationary drum of copper, inclosing a smaller movable one, perforated with numerous small holes. It is aoout three feet wide and about two feet deep. Between the two drums there is a surrounding space of about three inches in widtn. The inner cylinder, into which the goods are placed, is moved by a perpendicular abaft at the rate of 1.000 revolutions a minute. In the short space of five minutes the goods are dried and are ready for the starch wheel which is almost similar in construction and action to the wash wheel. "The starch with which the collars and cuffs are saturated is slightly colored with an aniline blue. The starching process occupies only a few minutes. The goods are again placed in the hydro-extractor for the purpose of removing all the moisture Imparted by the operation of starching. The collars are then sent to the starch room, where a number of women known as 'hand starchers' rub into the body of the goods an additional quantity of starch with their hands. This work requires considerable skill, ' and the operatives must exercise great care so that the collars will not lose their shape or be wrinkled and unfit for ironing. They are then hung on sliding bars and run into drying closet", heated by steam, where they dry in about 30 minutes. The goods are - then

packed, in rows of fours, and dampening sheets and placed in . dampening boxes, where they remain for some time. - When taken from the boxes, the next operation to t which ,' they are ' subjected is that of ironing. There are several ironing machines In use, which, by a certain arrangement of heated rollers and revolving drums, give to the goods a smooth and fine finish. By further and simpler processes the collars are turned down, corded, eta, before they are ready to be returned to the manufacturers. One of our leading laundries has facilities for laundry ing 60,000 dozsn of collars and cuffs a month. On the reception of the goods from the laundry the collars and cuffs are assorted for boxing. One dozen pairs of cuffs or one dozen collars is the usual number put in a single box." , An Excited Lover. . Chicago Tnbune.l A beautiful young girl on the South Side Is enaged to be married to a most eligible young man, and the wedding will take place next week, with positively bo postponement on account of the weather. They have been engaged, after a fashion, for years back, during which the young girl's heart has frequently been made sick by her frequently deferred hope of his coming to time. He has always had some excuse to oSer about political uncertainty, or the unsettled nature of business, or the death of his aunt Mary Anne, after whom be was called Peter; and though to ber weak, blind female intellect they have seemed, as il were, thin, he has assured her that they were, as Hamlet says, of great pith and moment. On Wednesday last he called upon her, and finding the door open walked softly in to surprise her. She rose to greet him with some confusion, hastily sitting down behind the chair on which she had been sitting a small white bowl, which during her stay she endeavored carefully to conceal from his notice. He also obeerved that she was aeitated and abent-tninded, and the fact increased his suspicions well-nigh to a certainty. The house dog an athletic but misanthropic animal, which of late has given some signs of hydrophobia was sleeping across the door, and there were mosquito bars across the windows, and the lover found his retreat cut off on every aide, and he gasped to the young lady, "Miranda, what's in that bowl?' The young lady turned psle, and stammered guiltily, "N nothing." "Then Miranda," he exclaimed, falling on his knees before ber, "I love you, am prepared to marry you to marry you right off, if you have a clergyman ou ice in the adjoining apartment and a license in your pocket. Why should we longer delay being happy? We grow old and do fade as a leaf that is, I do, for you, on the contrary, grow more beautiful day by day and we should grasp the pleasure that's flying. My dearest, dearest girl, do name the day, and I will waive the customary three days of grace to which, under commercial law. I am entitled." And so he poured out his soul in rapt, adoring words (t her surprise, for he had been rather cool than otherwise at their last interview), and in less than no time it wss settled that the weddlrg should take place next week. This being settled, the young man said jet again, "Muaida, what's In that bowl?" and she said, "Nothing I wouldn't have you know for worlds;" and breaking from his knee dashed over to the window, caught it up, and dashed out of the room with it, tha lover meanwhile bounding over the sofa In an agitated manner, and putting a cushion before his face. He was unable to account. This conduct seemed strange to the young woman, atrd, thinking that perhaps there was madness in the family, she was half resolved not to marry him; but on mature deliberation she resolved to chance it anyhow. And that lover went home fairly shuddering with happiness, and firmly believing that the mysterious bowl was filled with vitriol which she intended to throw over him if he didn't come to time, whereas it only contained some inoffensive pork and beans, which a neighbor, proud of her cooking, had sent in for her to taste. She would rather have died than have her husband that was to be suspect for a moment that she could fare on such frightfully prosaic food. All's well that ends well.

Sentimental and Tragic Flirts. Home Journal. How much mischief these sentimental flirts do in their dsy! They give you the impression that you and only you are the one sweet woman whose love is needed for for their happines. Your touch can heal tbem, your smile rejoice, your love render blessed. You give in to the fond illusion one of the moss seductive to a true woman and find that you are just taken as an experimentalist takes a cat or a dog for vivisection; and that you are only one of many who have ben so taken before you to illustrate that point cf female credulity and womanly soft heartednesj which the flirt has set himself to learn by all the methods given to man. Or take the tragic flirt from the other side of the house, that, beautful little woman with the big eyes and the melodious voice, who sings sad love songs as if she felt them, and around whom melancholy clings as a graceful garment, how many men ha3 she not captured and drowned in the unfathomable abyss of her vanity. She looks all sorrow, and ber life has not a cloud; she seems all sentiment, and no neither milestone is harder, more prosaic; she gives you the impression of one seeking consolation, and the merriest little grig who dances all night in pink and rosebuds is not more light ot heart, more free from care. She is a sham all throughout, and she attitudinizes she does not feeL But clever men believe in her and good ones fall down and worship her, and she rides on the crest of the wave in the world's esteem; while her sister, who dis daina falsehood and couquetry alike, gets only scant admiration, and ber heart, which pever deceived hunisn being, Is disregarded as a common kind of thing, worth little love and less endeavor. "Smoke in Any Boom Ton Please." A lady wrlt-s thus very sensibly to a Weetern paper: Make home a home, and make it one in every sense of the word. My husband is a great smoker; he loves to play cards, dominoes and chess; be is at perfect liberty to smoke in any room in the bouse, and I am always ready and willing to join hlmintre different games. I endeavor in every Vay to be not only a helpmate, but a companion to him, and the result baa been tha. I have and enjoy ' his society; he ' prefers spending his evenings at home with me to seeking other society. I can not understand why women will run the risk of losing their husbands' society and love, merely for the sake of gratifying an overfastidious taste. ' If they do not like tobacco, did they object to his using it during the days of courtship? And it they objected then and failed, why did they marry? If men will not give up such habits at the solicitations of their sweetheart, it ia nnt likely they will be persuaded out of tbem ' dv their wives; therefore I think it unwise for a woman to risk ber happiness by quarreling with her husband over a venial fault, the existence and extent of which she knew and perfectly understood before she took upon herself the duties of a wife. The Strawberry. The following palate-thrilling encomium of the strawberry is from essays by John Burroughs "Locusts and Wild Honey:" On the threshold of summer, nature proffers us this, ber virgin fruit; more rich and bumptuous are to follow, but the wild dell cacy and fill up of the strawberry are never repeated that keen feathered edge greets the tongue in nothing else. Let me not be afraid of overpraising it, but probe and probe for words to hint its surprising virtues. We may well celebrate it with festivals' and music It has that indescribable quality of all first things the shy, uneoylng, provoking barbed sweetness. It is eager and san-

guine as youth. It war fcorn of the copious r dews, .-.:.! the fragrant nights, the " tender skies, the plentiful rains of the early season. The singing of birds is in it, and the health and frolic of lusty nature.
