stock of goods, it is human for him to
crow over it. When the hen cackles
people know that she has laid in some
fresh stock, and feels rather proud of
it. When the merchant opens his new

newspapers, people know that he has
something on hand that IS '0Orm Gd

But then some merchants think peo~

don'tlisten fOr the hen to cackle. II
they would just think long enough to
know that even they had read this ad-
vertisement, they would learn their
mistake.
Any merchant who has anything
worth cackling about can make as big
a noise as he has a mind to, in the nd

The BUSINESS of McArtbur.

cept the druggists, the under
takers, the lawyers, and the
Sheriff. We are upon the eve
of opening out 10 the world,
and by reason of new and ad-
vantageous railroad communi-
cations, inviting immigrants,
capitalists and manufacturers
to settle among US. Our bust
ness men should think of this
when they neglect or refuse to
make know their business
through the advertising col
umns OF their home paper
Wouldn't it take g robust,
courageous man to even visit
Macarthur with a view to max.
ing it his home, alter making
the above summary of our
business as dealers themselves
present ii? If we want new
mouths brought here to feed
we must hold out inducements
for them to come by letting
them know there is some per.
son already here.
We expect from time to time,
as heretofore, to point out our
natural advantages and our. .Su.
perlor mineral resources. Our
business men should make
known the business which is
already in successful operation.
No person would want to move
to a locality where they could
not buy a pair of shoes or a
yard OF muslin, and for all the
papers tell aboutit, this is that
kind of a place.
Macarthur is now becoming
known to the outside world as
o point worthy of notice for its
situation in a rich mineral Sec
ton which is on the eve of be
ing penetrated by a new rail
road, and we have frequent re.
quests for specimen copies of
the Record, from persons de
sirous of forming some judg-
~ Lent OF our town. II the b.; ,;,r, X
with Its 100000 capital, was
represented in the advertising
department the natural infer.
ence would be that it was a
better point for business than
if we had no bank, for it would
show that that amount of
capital, from some good
and sufficient cause, had
been induced to come here
So, if our five dry goods
houses, two hardware stores,
five groceries, two saddlers,
three shoemakers, two MILL
merry establishments, two sill
VerSmiths, carpenters, builders,
our benevolent societies, etc.,
were all represented, it would
create a much more favorable
impression of the town, and in
the end it might gain rs new
citizens and new capital. This
much it would benefit the gen.
eral public, and indirectly ber-
eft all; but in addition, would
draw in new trade, and pre-
vent trade which legitimately
belongs here from being di-
verted to other points. These
are matters for all persons to
consider who desire the ad-
vancement cf our town.

KEEP Our OF DEBr.-Half the perplexi-
ty, annoyance and trouble that men have in
this world il in consequence of getting into
debt. 1t seems to be natural for some peo-
pie to buy, and incur obligations beyond
measure so long as they can avoid paying
ready cash. Give one of this sort a
chance to buy on credit, and the ques-
tons Of payments are matters that he
cares but little about But what q crop
of trouble springs up from the seed of
debt. How many gray hairs it brings,
and how often it shortens life; sometimes
leading men to commit suicide or murder.
And yet how easy it is to keep clear of
this terrible monster. Every young man
should form fixed and unalterable deter
mination, before commencing his active
business career not to incur one penny
of Indebtedness. under any circumstances.
Never buy anything unless you have mon
ey to pay for it at once. Pay no atten-
ton to the splendid opportunities" rare
chances" =" bargains and the like. Such
are only traps set to catch victims. If
you see anything that you would like to
accept look first at your money pile, and
make the answer depend upon that AL
ways pay as You go. If you are short of
money gauge your demands accordingly.

CARRIER-PIGEoNs IN THE Franco GER
MAN WAR.-Carrierp pigeons were of great
service to the French during the late siege
of Paris by the German army. This had
been foreseen by the German commanders :;
and in order to prevent the importation of
these invaluable messengers from Belgium,
where they are raised and trained in almost
incredible numbers, they were very early in
the struggle declared contraband of war
But in this matter at least the French had
been provident and long before German
soldier had crossed the Rhine the military
authorities had collected twenty-five thou
sand pigeons which were distributed among
the commanders of the various cities and
fortresses most exposed to the danger of a
siege, TO be used as means of communica-
ton. A depot was established at Bordeaux
for the reception of new pigeon recruits.
After the fatal lines were drawn around
Metz and Paris, and all telegraphic commu-
nication with the world outside had been
severed, news and orders were sent and re-
ceived daily by the pigeon post The mis-
sives had to be written on the smallest
scraps of thin paper, in order not to impede
the pigeons fight, and the camera and mi
croscope were called into requistion to crowd
the greatest amount of news into the small
est compass. A whole side of the London
Times was on several occasions photograph
ed on thin piece of paper less than five
inches square. This microscopic newspaper,
embracing news from all parts of the world,
was at first read by means of powerful mi
croscope; afterward it was thrown upon a
white wall by means of magic lantern in a
darkened room, where it was read by thou
sands of people.
The German commanders tried many ex-
pedients to break up the pigeon posts, with
out success. As last resort they brought
to camp large number of trained hawks,
which made sad havoc among the aerial mes
sengers. This was denounced roundly by
the French newspapers and orators, but sure
ly without reason.-Harper's Magazine.

COULDN'T DODGE THEM-We wagered a
small sum with friend once that he could
not get out of the paradise of snobs called
the Fifth Avenue Hotel without being forced
to fee the waiter. He was plucky fellow
He had behaved handsomely under fire in
the field, and passed with credit from under
all sorts of social batteries in the battle Of
life. We watched him closely. He march
ed from his room, valise in hand, and began
his descent of the grand stairway, scorning
to take advantage of the elevator. He.pass-
ed servants cycling him as if he were a sneak
thief, as he was. His first skirmish came
off in the hall opposite the dining room, and
our friend proved the victor. The last fight
was trying. Directly facing 1t is that heavy
battery of clerks whose diamond shirt fronts,
shiny hair, stunning clothes and elevated
manners so oppress poor humanity. We
saw our friend draw deep breath and be-
gin the descent. He took the fire of lofty
contempt from the clerk battery, and turn
ing to the left encountered heavy reverse
platoon while one detachment attacked his
baggage another assaulted him on flank and
rear with whisk brooms. He fought through
calamity. He had nearly reached the en-
trance when a large African bore down up
on his right and the two passed out strug-
CLING for the valise. Victory hung undoubt-
full, when, fortunately for our gallant friend,
two ladies of his acquaintance, who hap
pened to be passing, paused to bid him fare
we'll This was fatal. He relinquished his
valise. bowed to his friends, was thrust into
a hack and meekly paid the African

Mutations.
BY MARY C. T. WOOD,

Has the night Gomez Not yet, o my darling.
The glory of morning is here;
Her sunlight transforms us, and lifts US
High into her hulier sphere:
And hope, diviner Aurora,
Smiles out from her tresses again:
Let your face catch the brightness, my darling
Your brows be forgotten pain.
Still mornings The morning has faded,
The sun blazes high in the skies,
The prairies lie brown and unshaded,
The river burns white on my eyes.
Can lead you? My hand is unsteady;
Hope left me with morning and youth,
And on the plain, tireless and torrid,
l, painting, yet shrink from the truth.
Is it night 1t is night. In the darkness
The waves storm a desolate beach,
And feel, though you cling to me, something
longing your love does not reach:
hope Of some new Aphrodite,
Unrisen from the ultimate sea,
To be dearer than dreams of the morning,
And sweeter than love is to me.
Orerbund for May.

SUNDAY EVENING WITH THE CARYs.-The
nearest approach to the first ideal blue
stocking reception ever reached in this
country was the Sunday evening receptions
of Alice and Phoebe Cary. Here, for over
fifteen years, in an unpretending home,
gathered not only the most earnest, but
many of the most brilliant Americans of our
time. There are like assemblies still, where
in men and women rich in all fine gifts and
graces meet and mingle; yet I doubt if there
be one so catholic, so finely comprehensive,
as to make it the ralying spot, the outray-
ing centre of the artistic and literary life of
the metropolis. Its central magnet lost,
such circle, once broken and scattered in
all its parts, can not be easily regathered
and bound. Society must wait till another
soul, equally potent. sweet, unselfsh, sym
pathetic, and centripetal, shall draw togeth
er once more its scattered forces in one COM
mon bond. For the relief of Puritan friends
who are troubled that those receptions Oc-
CURED on Sabbath evening, must say that
they never hindered anybody from going to
church. Horace Greeley, who never missed
Sabbath evening in this house when in the
city, used to drink his two cups of sweeten-
ed milk and water, say his say, and then
suddenly vanish, to go and speak at tenn
perance meeting, to listen to DIR. Chaplin,
or to write his Monday morning leader for
the Tribune. Sabbath evening was their
reception evening because it was the only one
which the sisters had free from labor and,
as rule, this was equally true of their guests.
While her health permitted, Alice attended
church regularly every Sunday morning, and
till her last sickness Phoebe was faithful
church-goe but Sabbath evening was their
own and their friends. In their receptions
there was no formality, no rule of dress.
You could come as simply or as finely ar
rayed as you chose. Your costly costume
would not increase your welcome, nor your
shabby attire place you at discount. Indeed,
if anything about you ever so remotely sug-
gested poverty or loneliness, it would, at the
earliest possible moment, bring Alice to
your side. Her dark, gentle, tender eyes
would make you feel at home at once. You
would forget your clothes and yourself alto
gether, in quiet. impersonal, friendly flow
of talk which would at once begin between
you. If "a stranger, she would be sure not
to leave you till Phoebe came, or till she had
introduced you to some pleasant person, and
you would not find yourself again alone dur
ing the evening. This was the distinctive
characteristic of these Sunday evenings.
that they opened welcoming doors to all
sympathetic souls, without the slightest ref
erence to the state of their finances or mere
worldly ondition.-Mary Czemnaer Ames.

railway travel, is occasioned mainly by
the trembling motion of the floor under
their feet. InvaIids will find great relief
