MoTHERs.-S one has said that a
young mother is the most beautiful thing IN
nature. Why qualify it? Why young?
Are not all mothers beautiful? The senti-
mental outside beholders may prefer youth
in the pretty picture, but ! am inclined to
think that sons and daughters, who are
most intimately concerned in the matter.
love and admire their mothers most when
they are old. How suggestive of some
thing holyand venerable it is when a
person talks Of his ''dear mother" Away
with your mincing "mammas," suggestive
only Of fine lady, who deputies her duty
to nurse "a drawing-room maternal parent,
who is afraid to handle her offspring for
fear of soiling her new gown. Give me the
homely mother, the arms Of whose love
are all-embracing, who is beautiful always,
whether old or young, whether arrayed IT
satin, OF modestly habted in bombazine.

THE MODOCS.
MeRchanl'S Report.

New YORK, June -Meacham's re-
port of the Modoe fighting says: During
the war the Modocs killed and wounded
three soldiers for every warrior in their
force, at the time numbering not more
than sixty-flve, and that during the first
three days fight, this band not only held
out against eight hundred troops, armed
with every appliance of modern warfare,
but kept passage open for retreat which
the Warm Spring Indian scouts could not
close"
Meacham's idea of the best policy for the
future is that all tribal lines be abolished;
that the Indians be made amenable to the
laws, and be placed on the same footing
with other murderers.

A Dihicnlt Question Answered.

" Can anybody tell me why, when Eve
was manufactured from one of Adams
ribs, hired girl wasn't made at the time
to wait on her ?"-EGchange.
We can, easily. Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged stock
ing to be darned, collar string to be
sewed on, or glove to be mended fright
away, quick now !" Because he never
read the newspaper until the sun got
behind the palm trees, and then
stretched himself yawning out, Saint
supper most ready, my dear ?" Not he.
He made the fire and hung over the tea
kettle himself, we'll venture, and pulled
the radishes, and peeled the bana mas,
and did everything else that he ought to.
He MIXED the cows and fed the chickens
and looked after the pigs himself. He
never.brought home half dozen friends
to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pome-
granates, and the mango season over.
He never stayed out until ii o'clock to q
"ward meeting, "hurrahing for the out-and.
out candidate and scolding because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and
crying, inside the gates. To be sure,
he acted rather cowardly about the apple
gathering time, but then that don't depre.
ciate his general helpfulness about the gar
den! He never played billiards nor drove
fast horses nor choked Eve with cigal
smoke. He never loafed around corne,
groceries while solitary Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. Ia short, h
did not think she was especially created fol
| the purpose of waiting upon him, AM
| wasn't under the impression that it dis
graced man to tighten his wite's cares
little.
That's the reason that Eve did not neet
hired girl, and we wish it was the reasol
that none of her descendants did. LIT

Courtsnip After Marriage.

There was much more than mere wit
tcism in the remark of the old bachelor
who had paid attentions to maiden lady
for twenty years, visiting her regularly every
night, when rallied for not marrying: "lf
| we've married should have nobody TO
court, and no place to go at night" lie
had deeply felt the contrast between his
own delicate and ETHEREAL enjoyments, the
hard, discontinued, fretted life of too many
married people; and his answer was irony.
He saw there was something in courtship
which too often exhales and expires after
marriage, leaving cold, dull, monotonous
burden where all was beauty aud buoyancy
before.
Let us see what that something is In
courtship nothing is taken for granted.
Both parties are put on their good behavior.
Love keeps itself fresh and active by con
slant expression in word and act. But,
strange to say, counting usually ends with
marriage. Very soon both parties yield to
the sense Of possession, and the feeling Of
security robs galiantry Of motive and ex-
tracts the poetry from the mind. The beau
tiful attentions which were so pleasing before
marriage, are too often forgotten after
ward; the gifts cease, or come only with
the asking; the music dies out of the
voice, everything is taken for granted, and
the love that, like the silver jet Of the
fountain. leaped to heaven, denied its
natural outlet, ceases TO flow altogether.
Then come dull, heavy, hard days, with
two unhappny tied together and wishing
themselves apart, and not always conten,
with merely wishing.
This Is unnatural and wrong. What mar
ried life wants to give it new tone and
sweetness, is more of the manner as well
as the spirit OF the courtship which comes
from the constant attentions of the parties
to each other. Their affection voices itsel
in all possible ways-eyery sentence is
edged with compliment and spoken in ten
der tones. Every look is confession
Every act is new word in the exhaustlesS
vocabulary oflove. Kisses and caresses are
parenthetic clauses in the dialect Of
love; gifts and sacrifices are the most EN-
phatic expressions of the spirit no language
can fully articulate and no devotion declare
| And it is the fact that affection confesses
itself continually in look and word and act
making the voice musical and the fingers
poetic in their touch and doing, that make
experience so beautiful, the only Eden ma
ny a woman ever has on earth.
Love must have expression or it will
Gle. 1t can be kept forever beautiful ant
blessed, as at the first, by giving it con
slant utterance in word and act. Tit
| more it is allowed to flow out in delicate
attentions and noble service, the stronger
and more satisfying, and more blessed i
will be. The house becomes home onl,
when love drops its heavenly mamma in j
fresh every day, and the true marriage vow
is made not once for all at the altar, bu
by loving words, and helpful service, an
delicate attentions to the end.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.--Michiamme
city, Marquette county, on Lake Superior,
was destroyed by fire yesterday. The
fire caught from burning woods around the
place. 1t was an iron mining town, and
contained some 600 inhabitants. Among
the buildings burned was the mill Of jack
son Houghton, Just equipped at an expense
of SAC, 900, at Spur mine. Two barns and a
number of log houses were burned. The heat
so warped the rails ofthe Marquette, Hough-
ton and Ontonagon railroad as to render
the passage of cars impossible. In certain
places the telegraph poles were burned,
and the wires are lying along the track. A
number of lives were lost. Eight bodies
have been recovered and others are still
missing. The people took refuge in the

have SO little regard for decency will be
caught and snmmarily dealt with, and if
that don't stop them that they will be more
severely dealt with. There can be no OBJ

PRESERVATION OF OYSTER BEns.--
L. L. Pourtales, of the United States coast
survey, attributes the decrease in the sup
ply of oysters to the wasteful process of
using the same beds continuously, as in De-
tober, when the season commences, the
spawn is still too small to be detached from
the shell and thrown back into the water,
and is carried off and destroyed in large
quantities. He thinks that some system Of
rotation in the fishing of the different beds
would produce more equal supply with
out the impending danger of exhaustion.
