ment. Half a dozen wooden or cotton
factories in each of them, with as
many foundries, shoe factories, &C.,
would justify their growth and their
sanguine anticipations. If they are
to live mainly by traffic-by ex-
changing farmers products for those
of other chimes and countries-they
are quite large enough already; and
their further growth would not pro-
mote the general welfare. These cit
les ought to establish and encourage
home manufactures, even though
their capitalists might not directly
realize SO large profits therefrom as
they are now making by land specu-
lations and usury. They ought to
establish manufactures if only to
back up their large investments in
real estate. Were Iowa this day
making her own wares and fabrics,
her cities would have a broader base
for prosperity and growth than they
now have, while her farmers would
sell fruits and vegetables to far
greater profit than they now sell
wheat and corn. These may be very
stale truths; yet they need to be re-
iterated until needed and deferred to.

Novel Cure for Consumption.

Alexandra Dumaspublished, some
time since, in a Paris daily paper, a
novel, in which the heroine, pros
porous and happy, is assailed by
consumption. All the slow and ma
tural symptoms were most naturally
and touchingly described, and the
greatest interest was felt for the
heroine.
One day the Marquis de Palomien
called Oh him.
"Dumas," said he, "have you
I,composed the end of the story now
being published in the -"
"Of course"
"Does the heroine die at the
end!"
"Of course; dies of consumption.
After such symptoms as | have de-
scribed, how could she live?'
"You must make her live. You
must change the catastrophe"
II cannot"
ayes, you must for on your he
roine's life depends my daughters"
"Your daughters 2"
ayes, she has all the various symp-
toms of consumption which you have
described, and watches mournfully
for every number of your novel, read
ing her own fate in that Of your he
roine's. Now If you make your he
roine live, my daughter, whose ina
gination has been deeply impressed
will live too.'

Dumas changed. his last chapter.
His heroine recovered and was happy.
About five years afterwards, Du-
mas met the Marquis ut a party
"Ah, Dumas !" he exclaimed, let
me introduce you to my daughter !:
she owes her lite to you. There she

"That fine, handsome woman,
who looks like Joan NArc?"
"Yes. She is married, and has
four children"
"And my novel four editions,'
said Dumas" so we are quits"

Sound Advice.

Hon. Joshua Hill, one Of the
Senators from Georgia, delivered an
address lately, in which he said:
With every ingredient more
abundant at home. we send to the
originally barren North for fertilizers
to give life to our originally fertile,
now dcadencd, soil ; with the finest
ores and eXhaustless coal beds peep
ing at us from our own hill-sides,
we send North for tools to work our
fields; with the richest lands on the
continent we send North for bread
to feed our children; with the no.
blest trees that ever lifted their
tops toward heaven, if we want a
finer church in which to worship,
ora more convenient residence in
which to live. We send North for the
plan, for the architect and for the
builder. We spend millions of dol
lars sending our children North to
be educated, and refuse the smallest
pittancc for the endowment Of uniycr-
sites at home. Our physicians and
surgeons send North for their mcdi-
zines to heal, for the tools that Sc
cure skill i'll their delicate art. Our
lawyers send North fof the books
in which to learn the rule Of Justice
for our people. Our preachers send
North for commentaries on the
Bible to teach their tlocks the way
OF salvation. Our editors send
North for type to print their papers ::
and lawyers, preachers and editors
make long speeches, say long pray
crs, fill whole columns, thanking
God for superior Southern genuine
purity and learning! And our
politicians, ah shades Of Demosthe-
nese and Cicero, bend down and
hear the matchless periods of true
patriotic eloquencc. Our politicians
strut like condecending Jupiters to
the hustings, with Northern hats on
their heads, Northern shoes on their
feet and Northern coats on their
backs, and prove to gaping crowds
their unequaled fitness for office,
in straining their lungs as the
thunder gust doth the yielding
clouds with noisy denunciations Of
Northern weakness of greed, agd
climatic eulogies Oh Southern power
and independence!
If my humble voice could be
heard by the Southern people, I
would urge them to do many things
which these very derided Northern
people have done. Endow first
class universities; provide for poly
technic schools in those UNIVERSE
ties; honor labor, and make the
callings of the miner, the manufac-
turer the metallurgist, the machi-
mist, the agricuiturist and the me-
chanic as learned and as honorable
as are the learned professors of law,
medicine and theology. if we do
not these things, We shall grow
weaker until we be despised as con
temptible. The stranger-cven the
enemy we hate=~will come in and
possess our heritage; will build up
the land we neglect, antlwill be ru-
lers of the children we leave behind

placed at the extreme end of the tun-
mel, 1.-TWO miles from shorc.)
Another tunnel has recently been
cut under the river at Washington
street.
Chicago has seventeen public
schools and a High school. They
were considered preferable to private
schools, and the latter were sustained
with great difficulty. The Univer-
sity of Chicago is situated III Cottage
Grove just OH the outskirts of the
city, and probably thepresent contla-
grafton will notreach it. The Board
OF Trade is an association of 1900
merchants, who meet daily for the
transaction or business.
From the dispatches, it would ap-
pear that the fire broke out on
Twelfth street. mile south Of the
Chicago river, and q mile ami hall
from the lake shore. Originating
at 8 2. NJ; by , \. NJ. it reached
the telegraph office, Il distance OF two
miles from the point where it com
menced. In this neiglborllood. Just
west OF the Old Union Dcpot, are
the Chamber Of Commerce., Court
house, Sherman House and several
either important buildings. Sweep
ing across the river it moved north
ward through an area Of perhaps half
a mile wide and two miles long, con
suming every habitation along the
lake shore.
1t was feared that it would spread
to the westward across the north
branch of the Chicago river, but this
section is thicl>ly settled, although
the houses are nearly all wooden.
On the south side of the city it is
thought the fire is checked at Har-
rison street, about three quarters OF
amlle south OF the main river. Should
this be the case, the cattle pens a
mile and a half or two miles further
south will escape.
If the tclegraphic reports are not
exaggerated, and it is greatly to be
feared that they are but too reliable.
this is undoubtedly the most exten-
siVe and disastrous fire on record.
That of London, which commenced
i'll Pudding Lane Oh the I'd of Sep
tember, 1866, and continued until
the 9TH, swept the buildings from
336 acres, consuming 13,2O0 habita-
tions and ninety churches. The
property destroyed was estimated at
E1O, 1000 900.
The fire in New York on the 10th
of December, 1885, consumed G4S
houses III the most central portion of
the city, involving loss of twenty
millions OF dollars.
The fire in pittsburs, Oh the 10th
Of April, lS43, consumed a large
portion of that city, destroying prop
erty to the value Of SD,OOO,OOO.
These two, and that of the former
especially, have heretofore been re-
garded as unparalleled cases; but it
has been left to Chicago the melan-
choly privilege Of eclipsing all com
petitors even in her downfall.

The Mule that stood ON a Steam
beat Deck.
NOT BY BRET HARTE.

The mule stood on steamboat deck,
The land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him Ger the head.
Yet firm and steadfast there he stood
AS though formed for to rule;
A crtter of heroic blood
f. Was that there cussed mule.
They cussed and swore he would not 60,
Until he felt inclined;
And though they shewered blow on blow,
He wouldn't change his mind.
The deck hands to- the shore then cried,
=" This here mules hound to stay
And still upon the critters hide
With lash they fired away.
His master from the shore replied
"The boats about to sail,
And every other means you've tried,
Suppose you twist his tail 7"
ITS likely that will make him land.'
The deck man brave though pale
Approached him with 1his outstretched hand
To twist that there mules tail.
There came sudden kick behind
The man-oh! where was he
Ask of the softly blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea
For moment there was not sound;
As that mule winked his eye,
AS though to ask of those around,
"Now how is that for high 2"
"Cut that there mules throat right away"
The captain did command.
But the noblest critter killed that day,
Was the fearless, brave deck hand.

Autumn Evenings-The Habit Of
Reading.

In the now rapidly lengthening
evenings of autumn and the winter
evenings which will follow, habits
will be formed by thousands of boys
and young men, which will last them
through life. On this subject we
wish to throw out a few suggestions.
which we are sure will be valued
hereafter by those who shall heed
them,
Recreation you must and will have.
All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy. Innocent social amuse-
mcnts are not only proper, but they
are necessary. Fun and fiolic con
tribute to health, and, if indulgcd in
only to a reasonable extent, to men
tai as well as physical strength.
But all play is as bad as all work.
Time must be nationally apportioncd
between the two; and not a sing7e day
should ete'' be o'lo,red to pass acithout
some definite, oppreciaJle progress IN
knowIedge.
The habit Of reading is very easily
formed i'll youth; and when once es-
tablished, it is found to be the source
Of 50 much pleasure and satisfaction
that it is seldom abandonncd in after
life.
The results of systematic study or
reading are astonishing. Take his.
tory, for instance. Give TO it one
hour, or say even thirty minutes of
attentive reading, every evening.
through the fall and winter, and You
will be greatly surprised to find how
many valuable historial facts will be
be treasured up in your memory by
the coming of spring.
In adhering to your practice OF
reading, firmness and perseverance
are required. Let nothing interfere
with it, unless some higher duty in
tervenes, and that is very seldom
| the case.
Ateryou have put your book away
and again OH the following morning
think over carefully what you have
read. 1t engraves it upon the mind
The practice of subsequently writing
down the main points Of what yor
can recall of your reading, will be {
a greater aid to memory.
Nothing is more unsatisfactory
than the feeling that time is vanish
ing, aud we are making no improve
ment, and no progress. But, fleet
ing as time is, if we Systematically
improve the flying hours, weare able
even i'll our short lives, to accomplish
much.-[Naw York Ledger.
