Secret of Unhappy Homes,

Why goes forth that man this Saturday
evening from the roof under which his chill
dren live? Why turns he from the engaging
little attempts to detain him, and roughly
move them away, while he loves them dearly {?
Why sits another by his fire, sullen, discon
tented, unwilling to speak the kindly word
while his heart is yearning for converse and
enjoyment Why flies the cruel speech to
her for whom the bosom's strongest affection
is nouiished And why, searching into deep
depths, why does man become so often tyrant
so often a criminal, in his home Truth has
to be told but oh listen to it kindly, for it
is hard to tell. 1t is because woman does not
truly appreciate her mission in domestic life.
Under the present conditions Of existence, she
has become weighed down by cares. AS a
wife she is different to what she was as a Els
tress. She is ever employed in drudgery for
children and household. She neglects her
dress, she forgets her manners. Her husband
sees the change, does not find sufficient excuse
for it from the conditions she abors under.
He flies to the tavern and billiard table; and
she increases in years. That much of this is
owing to the present circumstances Of social
lie is true. But that much of it is charge
able to sad submission to those circumstances
is also but too true. 1t is more or less in the
power OF woman. to make their domeftic life
in, re attractive to their husbands, and more
holy in its discipline and ends than they now
do. A great regularity in time-a great SIM
plicity in dress-a more determined adherence
to that which is right in ones own eyes, ra-
Their than that which is we'll thought OF in he
eyes of others-an orderly apportioning of va
rious periods Tor different occupations, -would
make evenings athote pass away very differ
emily to what, in the great majority Of cases,
Trey ale now doing.

The Wheel Of Fortune.

Only twenty years ago last November,
Louis Napoleon, the present Emperor of
France, left the st. Charles hotel, New Or
leans, without paying his board bill. In
the Bee of November Goth, 1889, appeared
the following account of the "noble counts"
departure from that city:
Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, whose
arrival in this city was announced in several
OF the papers, has left New Orleans in high
dudgeon, and for just reasons. He was
yesterday morning informed by the proprie-
tors of the st. Charles hotel that it was Gus
tomary for gentlemen travelling without
baggage-the count was splendidly provided
in that way for man of his titular dimen-
sions-to pay for their board in advance,
whereupon the following dialogue ensued:
Count-My Dame is sufficient guarantee
for my bill.
Publican-Your name, count, is a very
good one, but won't buy marketing.
Count-Make out my bill.
Publican-It shall be done.
The clerk thereupon presented the bill,
made out in the name of Count L. n I.
Bonaparte.
my name," said the count, els Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte. 1 wish it so stated
in full in the account"
A second bill was made out. and the en-
tire name written out in fair, legible letters.
"My name is Count Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte, Prince of Segovia, Kamschatka,
and other dependencies so in the bill, d"
responded the sprig of nobility.

the clerk.
"Then, I'll be - if pay it," said his
excellency, and forthwith absquatulated.

The Royal Family OF England.

At the Trinity House banquet recently
given in England, bis Royal Highness the
Prince Corsort became communicative, con.
fdential and philosophical. While in that
state he delivered the following, in the course
OF bis atter-dinner speech:
"The younger members of the Royal
family are rapidly growing up. The Prin-
cess Royal has already become the founder
of a new family destined to mount the
throne of Prussia the Prince of Wales is
following his academic course at Oxford,
which he proposes to complete at the sister
University, Cambridge [cheers]; while his
younger brother has, by the prescribed ap-
premiership, earned his rating as mid
shipman, and serves jealousy as such in the
fleet. Cheers 1t will be curious coin
cdence that, nearly at the same time, few
weeks hence, though almost at the opposite
polet, the Prince of Wales will inaugurate,
in the Queens name, that stupendous work,
the great bridge over the ST. Lawrence, in
Canada, while Prince Alfred will lay the
foundation stone of the breakwater for the
harbor of Cape Town. What vast cOnsd
erations as regards our country are brought
to our minds in this simple fact! What
present greatness! What past history
What future hopes and how important
and beneficent is the part given to the Royal
Family of England to act in the Develop
ment of those distant and rising countries
who recognize in the British Crown, and
their allegiance to it, their supreme bond Of
union with the mother country and with
each other! Loud cheers

The Wheat Crop in Mime sofa.

There is now no reason to doubt that the
present wheat crop of Minnesota will yield
more than twice the usual average--and that
at least one million bushels OF the surplus
will be shipped to this city.
Our neighbors of Milwaukee have, for
some time past, been making strenuous ef-
forts to control the entire wheat trade of
the Northwestern States, and have been in
a measure successful but the time has now
arrived when the numerous advantages
which our city possesses, as the largest pri>
mary grain market in the world, cannot be
overlooked hence the farmers of the neigh
boring States seek this as the only market
at which they can always find sale for their
produce at remunerative prices, with the
satisfaction OF knowing that they have had
all the advantages which emanate from the
competition that exist in so large CONNER
cial city as this.
We understand that the Illinois Central,
Galena and Chicago Union, North Western
and other lines of railways, have nearly per-
fected arrangements by which all grain
shipped from points on the Mississippi riv-
er will be conveyed to their differ ent termins
in barges, and thence to this city by rail, at
low rates of freight and with prompt dis
patch.
1t now rests with our merchants to con-
summate this undertaking, by speedily max
ing such arrangements as will ensure di.
rect trade with the farmers of Minnesota,
and thus add to the many sources of wealth
and Importance of the city of Chicago
