A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

THK legislature has ended its career and there are no moarners. By any name its odor would have been as bad.

THE April showers this week have not been very pleasant, but they've been worth thousands of dollars to the wheat crop, which at its best does not promise much in this locality.

TH/S has been an unusually dull week. The lawyers have furnished no sensations, there have been no suicides or murders, and no new candidates for the postoffice have sprung up. Times s-are dull, when such a thing as the latter happens. ______________

THE marrying fever seems to be onto a large extent, and a domestic in a South «nd family in discussing it recently indulged in one ef those witicisms for which members of her nationality are noted. "Faith," bald she, "I wouldn't moind cookln' for two—an' eatin' half ofitmesilf!" "PROORKSSIVB POKER" parties are the latest rage among the fast young men. The only difference between these and progressive euchre parties is that the stakes area little higher aud the sessions are a few minutes longer than .those of the fashionable game. At least so say the young men who have been there.

COL. BOB. HUNTER is said to be in favor of the following ticket in the municipal eleotlon:

Mayor—Dr. Van Valzah. Treasurer—J. P. Foley. Clerk—John F. Regitn. Marshal—Maurice Hagerty.

He thinks be would then have a fair chance to conduct his campaign for the postoffice.

ONE night this week a party were dis cussing possible Democratic candidates for councilman in the First ward and Rev. H. O. Breeden's name was mentioned. Up spoke one gentleman with:

don't know about him. Of course he'd make a good councilman and!do his best—but that would hurt the Democrats I" 'nl

BARNEY MCAULHY, the actor, who is a great favorite in this city, baa been going te the dogs this winter, through his appetite for strong drink, and one day this week he was sentenced to thirty days in the Cleveland workhouse for drunkenness. When be was here a few months ago he was so intoxicated that It was with difficulty that he delivered the lines of his part.

THE rains and the warm weather of the past few days render it imperative that our streets, alleys and yards should be thoroughly cleaned, in accordance with the order of the health officersThe only way to keep oft disease is to prepare for it by thorough cleanliness, The newspapers cannot do too much in the way of warning the people, for eternal vigilance in this matter is the price of health.

UWCIIK BII,LY CLIFT, who is one of the police commissioners, wants the pelioe to have all the men arrested who ndulge in publio profanity. It would be a most excellent thing to do, but in case such an order was issued the police force would have to be increased ten fold and an immense addition built to the jail. The amount of profaolty that is indulged in our streets every day is disgusting, and should be stopped if such a thing is possible.

IF Joe Wildy gets the Democratic nomination for Mayor V. G. Dlcfcbout says the only way he can protect himself will be to shave off his moustache and thus destroy the resemblance between Mr. Wildy and himself. He tells (with seat of an occurrence several years ago when Mr. Wildy was Republican oandidate for Clerk, and he got into a north end crowd which would not believe he was not Wildy. It oost him five dollars to get oui, the joke of it being that he was a Democrat while Mr.

Wildy was then a Republican. In case does not ahave off his moustache he eaya he will be compelled to call on Mr. Tildy for a campaign fund to keep up he iUusien. •T

baa been thought that Bay lees .anna, like the fellow in the song, ftuld never be happy again, but late zioes from Washington indicate that jels yet alive in his breast, and that is to be given an appointment to one the South American missions. The jctacle afforded by Hannah capers at /ashlngton la one of the moat laughble things connected with the change power. When it beoame evident that "eveland was elected last Ml, Bay less nverted his Crawfordsville Review a jollification sheet In which 1M upon the great prises that awaited

Democracy In the "green fields beid the swelling flood." He made up mind then that be wanted

ral platform, single him out from amoag the countless thousands, and shake hands with him snd address him about as follows: "Why, Mr. Hanna, my de*r sir, bow do you do I have never had the pleasure of meeting you before, but I have beard of you. I understand you would like an appointment, and if you will step into the White House

will give you a list of the best offices at present at my disposal, and you can take your choice." But the President did nothing of the kind. On the other band he allowed office after office on wblch Bayless Lad set his heart, slip into other hands finally the Hoosier diplomat became desperate and setting bis bat on the back of his bead he made the circuit of the hotels, declaring that he *'had become tired of this kind of thing, and it had to be settled at once, one way or the other." It is to be presumed that the Preeident has taken pity on him, and promised blm a mission in South America. Consequently be is happy, as a correspondent has taken pains to Inform us. After all, there are many less capable and less deserving men than Mr. Hanna, seeking for more important offlcet

ONE of the social problems relates to the sexual idioeyncracies of men and women who have lost their partners, and what they really do wheu unprompted by gain in their choice of new ones. It seems to be easily solved in the crucible of observation. Marriage changes a man completely. His feelings and habits are not those of his unwedded young manhood. Then he cuurted because be loved, and married because he could not resist the temptation of red lips and bright eyes. When he became a widower he bad an eye to use rather than to ornament. His habits are those of home and its domesticity, and bis second wife is to add to his individual comfort. Hence his motives are selfish. But selfishness is manifested in a greater degree by a widow. As a girl she married for love as a widow she marries that her husband may be her pack mule and, the greater his capacity to bear heavy loads the better husband he is considered. A widower usually desires a counterpart of his "uear departed," but a widow marries a man who bears no resemblance in face, form or cbarac terto her former husband. She may bury her body for time iu crape, but her he second oboice must bear up ycsemblance t& be# flrsfc* Wcfffeehe to marry fifty times, each husband like her dresses, would differ from each other so mucb as to be noticeable by her friends.

PREMATURE BURIALS.

WBM*

iQg good and when be went to Waab1 la March, he expected the new tooome down off the Inaugu

The New York Mercury suggests that a law be enacted in that State to prevent premature burials. There is no doubt that greater care should be exercised in this direction. Scarcely a year passe* but there Is told in these columns of a case of underground mnrder. Only recently there was recited that a young JjHiy bad been found on disinterment to be a victim to basty burial, and her sad fate produced much excitement in a portion of West Virginia. The many graveyards in and about every large city, could, If opened, disclose bodies that have turned over in their coffins, having regained consciousness. There is cause for the horrible suspicion that one or more such cases exist in our own Woodlawn oemetery. The very thought of snch a thing makes healthy human nature shudder. Among the bad prac tloes whloh have sprung up ia the almost universal use of ice. Bodies are frozen, and when life la not extinct, resuscitation becomes impossible. A common source of apparent death is catalepsy, In which the Internal sense is retired and sunk into itself, while organio life is undisturbed. This state lasts for hours and days, during which dreams and visions are experienced by the sothought dead person. A reosnt cane Is that of John Wlsholm, a Swede, living In Pennsylvania, who was apparently dead for twenty-four hours. In mofet forma ef catalepsy the limbs are not rigid in this instance they were both cold and rigid, while his face had the death hue on it. His son fell upon the body and begged the father not to leave him without a word of recognition. The apparent corpse opened his eyes and asked why he was called back into life. The electro-magneti»m of his son may have acted as a battery and dispelled the father's torpor. His experience was that of many cataleptic patients. He felt oat of the body, saw, heard and was escorted to a new region by beautiful beings, when the rarest music reached his ears, and while in a condition of happiness beard a walling voice which called him back to his body, to which be returned with deep regret. Tbe next day Wlsholm was again pronounced dead and was interred. Was the second condition cataleptic? Perhaps It was.

many oases of apparent death have happened, and so often Is there undue haste an the part of the living to get rid of the dead body, that the suggestion of the Morcury above mentioned strikes na as timely and proper. Let the law's restraining tnfiueoos be invoked. A few conviction* nay save many UTSI in a singled scads,

PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.

MB EMTOR: Since you have given place in yoyr columns to two silly articles on progressive Euchre by a person signed ''Stella" who don't seem to understand what she is writing about and if she is the individual I take ber to be, lacks a good deal mote of being a saint than she would have the people believe, I thought your readeis would relteh a plain unvarnished article on this interesting topic.

In biief then Progressive Euchre is the great national society game. It fills the place in good society which Base Ball does among youog men, roller skating among all young people, poker playing at clubs and that general card-playing and gaming that made the reign of Iiouis 14lh so celebrated throughout the world.

If popularity is attested by the fact that tbe papeis notice games at different places for every night in the week where are tables number from 16 to 20, 4 to a table. Its attractiveness is rhown by tbe prompt attendance, and by the fact that those who play do not talk or think about anything elce. And the innotence and high morality of the game is apparent when it is observed that many ve'.y good men and women greatly prefer a progressive £uche party to a prayer meeting.

Iti may be that when the ant? in some families go to a party of this kind the children at home play casino tor a nice box of French candy. Suppose they do, it is nobody's business. And besides children properly brought up dont do such things. I don't want 10 make any insinuation?, out I wonder if "Stella's" falher knew a man who had to leave Louisville for keeping a gamiag house. No wonder Stella's brothers take to bad habits. What barm can there be in a lady getting

niee book or some artic ot

vertu and inviting in 40 or 60 of her friends to play 30 or 46 g&mes of cards, the best plajer taking the prize sach as Milton's Paradise Lost, or VVadsworih's poems Either wonld be a beautiful souvenir to be kept to old age apd pointed out to grandchildren with tbe proud remark,

won that book playing

cards where there were 40 playing for it" What more harm in this than when a number of men who tire staying at home with their families of evenings, get together at a place call a Club, and sit down for three or four boms at a game of Bragging each putting up a few dollars to makelt interesting, "the longett pole knocking tbe persimmons." 'No one ever objected to this inocent amusement, unless it be some of tbe wives who think men ought not to have any pleasure and should stay at home with them ef evenings.

In progressive eachre this trouble is obviated, for the wives go wiih the husbands and play a lively hand.

This game is called progressive and the world moves. For months, some people have been making a war on roller skating. Last Sunday.'falmadge preached a sermon on it, and said "when not abused it was the finest game ever Invented." He said in the same sermon he was opptsed to girls flirting, and if he bad voice that could be heard fiom the Penobscot to the Rio Grande he would tune It up, aud shout "flirtation is damnation."

He will before many Sundays, when be comes to understand tbe innocent and moral beauties of our great national progressive game, preach a flaming sermon on it. and will be led to exclaim in the same penobscot voice, "Of all the innocent, moral games of cards, such as 'Seven up,' 'Poker,' 'Bragging,' 'Blue Pete,' 'Old Sledge,' 'Faro' 'Three Card Monte,' 'Progressive Euchre' takes the cake. Selah!"

Wheu he%Iyies this, then there will be 4 wakeniog 1«Jquarters%hi6i our moral game is now condemned. We are in an age of progress. To the eye of a progressive euchre player who understands the high moral character of the game, appears at

fectureplace

rizes,

110

distant

day, public sentiment educated and eulightened, pub ic morals elevated, aud true religion so widely disseminated, that the preach ers who now oppose''progress!ve," will be Its advocates. And they will occasionally purchase an elegant Bible and a splendid edition of Wattsrhymns for first and second

twenty or thirty tables in the room and invite all the elders and

deacons and Sunday school and prayer meeting leaders and others of the brethren and sisters, to seat themselves aronnd the tables and pay a few games to see who can win the Bible and the hymn book.

And when the game Is over, the parson will, in a bold hand write oa the lly-leaf, the following touching Inscription: "This Blbje was won at a game of cards by Elder John Hopkins, played in the Lectureroom of tbe church, after prayer meeting, April 1st, 1886.

ABKAHAM FULTON. V. D. M."

Such are my ideas of what is to be the future of our great national progressive game. JACK O. SPADES.

P. S. 1 hope you will not annoy tbe comnuunitv by publishing any more "Stella" letters.

O.S.

ELLA TO STELLA.

DBAR STELLA I think it is too bad that tbe editor of The Mail published your letters, even if be did find them. They make some persons so uncomfortable. Before be published those letters everybody was so happy playing P. Euchre, but now some are always apologizing for playing it, and that makes one feel as if there is something wrong in it. A lady told me the other day that at Mrs. B.'s they did not know until they were all through what they were playing for and did not think ot It. So yon see tbey were just playing to see who would get the highest number of games, and if there was anything to be given, they would get it. At Mrs. A.'s they bad no ante at all, and they played all evening and bad lots of fun. Last Saturday evening some of tbe boys and girla come In and we thought we would get up a game and learn to play bat, O, dear! there was not much fun in it. The boys all knew how to play splendid but the girls bothered all the time, because they didn't know how to play cards very well, and wouldn't give attention. Somebody was all the time saying, "What's tramps or

MIs

it my

play or "Who took that trick and then the boys got out of patience and said "Just like the girls. What is the reason girls can't learn to play cards Some of them are trying awful hard now. I am going (0 learn and then if I am invited to a P. K. where they have nothing up to play for, bat are just playing for amusement, I am going.

ELLA.

P. 8. Don't tail any of the girls that I wont go if tbey pat np anything, for then 1 wont be invited and may be I can go anyhow. Bat I dont want to learn to gamble like those women in New York.

Tbe old gentleman shook his fist angrily, and walked off without picking up the robber. Everybody laughed, especially the shoe-thrower, until a little boy stopped eating peanuts and said to him: "I guess you dropped that shoe yourself, mister. Yoa've only got one on." And the renewed laughter jarred tbe car, as the benevolent gentleman climbed oat to get his shoe.

W. Cole's New Colossal Shows, which besides contain almost everything that curious humanity cares to see.
