The Republican party in selecting him will put forward a man hard to beat.

MRS. LANQTRY ON THE MOUSTACHE. On the occasion of her last visit to Chicago, the Lily was interviewed by a reporter, who succeeded in making the beauty talk as lively a clip as if he were a first-class affinity made to order.

Regarding that much vexed subject, the moustache, Mrs. Langtry ssid. As a rule, I have a high opinion of the man who wears a moustache. Of course there are noodles who are prouder of their moustaches than a peacock of its new feathers, but they are not the onfes I indorse, and they bring the moustache into disrepute. There are few faces that are not improved by a carefully cultivated moustaehe, and I think when a moustache signifies anything at all it is something creditable.

Of course there sre moustaches that are as void of expression as tbe hairs on a dead dog, and I don't mean that every moustaohe ia an advocate of its wearer, but most are.

Some men's faces remind me of a royal Bengal tiger, and such are very wise to wear a moustache, which they usually can do. Tbe stiff, military moustache always adds dignity to the wearer, and the man who can wear an iron-gray moustache should be, 1 think, an object of envy to his sex.

The moustache brushed back and up I don't like. It makes a man look flippant. Tbe mouatache clipped even with the lips fflves a man a sinister air. Tbe extraordinary long moustache is a sign of inordinate vanity, and the pointed mouatache ia an exhibition of pitiful weakness or painful snobbery. The most interacting moustache is the young man's first, Mia the most delightful is the silky moustaohe of the young man men at twenty-five.

Mrs. Langtry's opinion will fce welcomed as a valuable addition to mous tache literature.

THEIR DRINKING CAPACITY.

Special to Bt. Louis Clobe-Democrat. A bar-keeper at the Palmer, House, when questioned aa to the relative drinking capacity of the conventions, said that the Palmer House bar took in more money yesterday (Sunday) than during the whole week of the Republican convention. "There is one good thing about Democrats at a time like this," said he, "and that is, they take their liquor atralght, and don't waste tbe time of the bar-keepers on mixed drinks. When the Republicans were here they stood up and called for sherry cobblers and mint juleps and gin fizzes till you couldn't rest. We wasted our time making these drinks and we only got twenty oenta for them. When a Democrat comes along all we have to do is to shove tut the whisky bottle he takes his straight drink, puts down his fifteen cents and walks off. Then he comes back again in a few minutes and doee the same thing." Aa to the capacity of the two parties for champagne, the bar-keeper could not tell, as champagne wss generally sent to the room. He thought, however, the Democrats did as well as tbe Bepublicana in running up the big wine bills.

THE LIFE OF A CONGRESSMAN.

Oath in Indianapolis Herald. The hardest worked man in this overworked world of America is a member of congrese. He is considered the one agent at Washington, of his constituents, and he has not only a throng at hia heels, begging for office mainly, but his mail cornea laden with requests. He must hunt up patents, look after claima, procure pensions, and, above all, secure all the offlcea in the gift of the government. He must supply all the old ladles with garden seeds, all the men with public documents, and he must answer promptly every letter written him on any subject.

Too poor to employ a clerk* the wretched Solon labors from early dawn till late in the night—like a mule on a tow-path. If he rests for an lnatant he is gone. His enemies at home are working for his plsos, and any neglect on hia part Is fatal to him. He ia doomed anyway, but does not know it.

One can realise, under theee circumatanoea, the wrath of a member called on by some stranger to consider a case on its merits. Merita! I have seen the air blue with blasphemy at tbe mere mention of such an infamy.

Small wonder,ia it that the poor member falls an easy victim to a shrewd lobbyist, who relieves him of his work, writes his speeches and slips refined taffy into print aaent the member's patriotism and ability. This only eon of Satan may not divide in money for the votes and influence he gets from hia member, but be pays him all the same.

TO WHOM IT MAT CONCERN And it apes concern every level-head-ed man, woman and child in tbe United States of America, or elsewhere, becsuae these is longevity, health and happiness In taking the best advantage of tbe time allotted for summer vacation and recreation, by visiting and sojourning in the "Golden Northwest" "where every prospect pleases," and the good can escape the vile for a season. It is not too late to reconsider any plan formed for tripe to less favorable localities, and it must be a for out-of-the-way and sterile region where there are none to refer to who can speak from personal experience in corroboration of the facts herein set forth, vis: That for scenic attractions for salubrity of climate for abundance of health restoratives flowing from tbe laboratories of nature in the fotm of mineral

There is no rhodomontade in this declaration of superiority. It can be proved by thousands and nundreds of thousands of the best people in the world, who have been there, experienced the benefits of all tbe agencies enumerated, and gone again ana again with every recurring season for the enjoyment they derive, independent of sanitary considerations, from summering in this won-der-land.

Doctor Cures Doctor.

One of Dr. Beard's Wonderful Cures.

On Thursday of last week, while Dr. Richardson

s. c. table. able, eating suppe peechless, blind a

would have fallen to the floor if ne had not been caught. Tbe symptons of his disease were at once recognised as paralysis. The family became alarmed, and, while consulting aa to the beat course to pursue, they were advised to send for Dr. Beard, who had such a reputation for curing this kind of disease, without tbe use of any medicine. The doctor was not a convert to this kind of practice, neither was he able to ak his choice to any extent. Feeling no harm could be done in trying, they sent for Dr. Beard, who came asd commenced his mode of treatment, and in half an hour he had the doctor sitting up and almost entirely relieved of pain or paralytic symtoms. Dr. Richardson stated to an Express reporter that he believes his paralysis would have proven permanent, had he not received the treatment from Dr. Beard. The doctor has had one or two attscks, or, rather, svmptoms of attacks, of

paralysis

former years, but they were very slight, and only caused double-aightedness aud partial numbness.

This is only one of tbe many almost miraculous cares Dr. Beard is effecting, and, as a consequence of his success, be is receiving more applications for treatment than ne can attend to. Yesterday he turned away five oases be was unable to attend.

The Place for a Poor Man.

From the Dakota Farmer.

Dakota is no doubt the best place for a poor man to get a start, of any farming country on the globe, if he ia willing to pat all his ambition and energy into operation and put up with a few hardsnips for a year or two. Men have come here with barely enough money to put up their boildings—and some without money enough for that—who are now worth thousands of dollars. We do not me in to infer from this that every one can get rich here in a year or two—and a great many who came here with that idea in their heads have found it out—but we do mean to say that for the right kind of a man there awaits him here a bountiful harvest, financially. Some folks in the east get the notion that they can come to Dakota aad "show them fellows how to run a farm," whether they ever ssw one or not, and imagine their surprise when they {_ here to try it and find that there are just as smart men and just as good farmers in Dakota as there sre in the States. This is the class that afterwards go back East and try to run down the country, but all they can do doesnot affect in an way the harvests of "No. 1 Hard," am while they sre blowing so much about the country they are only advertising it unknowingly. Then, again, there is a class of people who are of a roving disposition, who are not contra ted anywhere, and tbia class, too, will say all they can against the country. These who belong to either of these classes sre a great deal better off where they are, but to the farmers—those who are willing to settle down and grow up with the country, put out shrubbery and engage in general diversified farming, we say again, a golden harvestawaits you.
