The Hon. James NJ. Harvey, who
has been elected Senator from Kansas
to fill the unexpired term of the Hon.
Alexander Caldwell, is q gentleman
of considerable eminence in the State.
He served through the war as Captain
in the Tenth Kansas regiment, served
one term in the House in 1866, and one
term in the Kansas Senate in 1867 and
1868, and was Governor of Kansas two
terms, from 1869 to 1878. He is fami-
liarly known as "Old Honestly He
Is about forty-one years Of age, and a
man of good sense, but in nowise bril-
liant. He made an excellent Governor,
and will, his friends claim, make a
good Senator. He resides on farm
in Riley county. His election is sig
nificant of the fact that the prime OBJ
iect now sought by the people of Kan
sas in their public men is integrity.
When this is attained another essen
tial element will come to the fore
ground-ability.

Railway Bonds in the East

Eastern papers note the scarcity OF
new railway bonds in the market, and
call attention to the fact that while in
1871 and 1872 Eastern cities We're flood
ed with the securities issued by new
companies, now none are met with,
and only few of the old roads are
putting small loans on the market.
This Is easily accounted for. The
years mentioned saw the flood tide of
the mania for granting municipal aid
TO railroad projects. The lavish issue
of county, township and city bonds,
induced the formation by irresponsi-
BILE spectators, OF countless compan-
les for the building of new lines. The
money to build them was obtained by
the sale Of the securities Of the COM
panies. The rage for speculation was
80 great that there was no difficulty
IL getting money; the spectators
built their road, poeketed the local

There are at present $50, 900 worth of

years old, by John Aiken, dam Like

Tom Aiken had been ridden around
the track, when he stopped suddenly,
reeled, fell 10 the ground and expired
in less than two minutes, his rider
barely alighting OH the ground before
the colt was down. His death was
caused by congestion of the lungs.

Amusing Incident at Cards.

The author of "Some Time in Ireland is
responsible for this story:
My father, being ro card player, found
these meetings not at all 10 his taste. Ac-
cordingly, he never attended those which
were held at other houses. and expressed
his desire of absenting himself from those
at our own.
"But, my dear Mr.. Rockford ~ argued
nv mother, ''surely common politeneSs de-
mands that you should receive your guests
at your own house; you can vanish in half
an hour if you like
agreed l consent, then; for half an
hour to be vctimized at the shrine of polite
ness
One evening laughable mistake oc-
Cured. Among our guests was a middle-
aged spinster-remarkably prim and stiff
named Lambert. My father, impatient to
be off, and yet not quite sure whether the
stip Ilated half an hour had expired. stole
up softly 30 the table where the whist play
ers were intent on their game, and taking
it for granted that he was addressing his
wife. stopped down and whispered in Miss
Lambert's ear:
my dear, may I go to bed now?''
Down fell the offended spinsters cards
ND she started from her chair.
"What have I got to do with your going
to bed, sir? What do you take me for?
How dare you insult me thus-and in your
own house p
The whole company was convulsed with
laughter. My mother Immediately compre-
hended the situation, and as soon as she
could recover her composure, explained the
mistake. 1t was long before Miss Lambert
could be pacifed. or brought to believe that
it was either bad joke or deliberate
affront. She had not learned the Lesson
that if, through malice or mistake, one6f
company is made ridiculous, the wisest
course is to fall in with the humor of the
moment.

Max Adeler, who writes for Philadel-
phia paper, has a friend named Simmer,
who deserves pity He was going up to
Reading not long since and when reaching
the depot he happened to look in the ladies'
room: A woman sat there with a lot of
baggage and three children, and when she
saw Simmer she rushed at him, and before
he could defend himself she flung her arms
about his neck, nestled her head upon his
breast, and burst into tears. Simmer was
amazed, indignant; confounded; and ere he
could find utterance for his feelings, she
exclaimed,-
go Henry, dear Henry, We are united
at last Are you well? Is Aunt Martha
still alive? Haven't you longed to see your
own Loui>a?''
And she looked into SINNERS face and
smiled through her tears.
MADAM, said he solemnly, eff I am the
person alluded to as Henry, permit me to
say that you have made mistake. My
name is Lemuel, have no Aunt Martha
and l don't own a solitary Louisa. Oblige
me by letting go my coat, it will excite re-
mark"
Then she buried her bonnet deeper into
his waist-coat, and began to cry harder than
ever, and said.-
go Henry, how, bow can you treat me
so? How can you pretend you are not my
husband?''
Madam" screamed Simmer, s'if you
do not cease sopping my shirt bosom, and
remove your internal umbrella from my
corn, shall be obliged to call the police:
Let me go, say"
''The children are here" she persisted
tThey recognize their dear father. Don I
you, children?"
"Yes, yes;" they exclaimed, "it's pa, it's
our dear pa
And then they grabbed Simmer by his
trowSer legs and hung to his coat tail.
"Woman," he shrieked, ''this is getting
serious. Unhand me, | say
And he tried to disengage himself front
her embrace-while all the brakemen; anG
the baggage master, and the newsbnys stood
around, and said hi conduct was infamous.
In the midst of the Struggle stranger en-
tered with carpet bag. He looked exactly
like Slmmer-aid when he saw his wife iii
SINNERS arms he became excited; and
floored Simmer with that carpet bag, and
sat on him. and snote his nose and caromed
on his head, and asked him what he meant:
Simmer was removed on stretcher, and
the enemy went off with his wife and family
in cab. He called next day to apologize.
His wife had made the mistake because of
SINNERS likeness to him. And now Slim
mer wishes he may soon be kicked in the
face by a mule, so that he will resemble no
other human being in the world.

NUMBER 81.
A Lady Lawyer.

About the year l176 Nicholas Linguet,
the celebrated Partisan journalist and law
yer. was at the height of his fame. He en-
;oyed great reputation for his skill in
getting up cases and surrounding them with
such dramatic accessories as were likely 20
tell on the minds of excitabie French judges.
One day beautiful lady, Madame de Be
thune, came to ask his professional services
in an action about some land, which she
wished to bring against the Marshal Duke
de Broglie, grandfather of the present
minister. Linguet had scarcely heard her
TO an end when he said -
lyon are SO lovely, madame, that your
face is worth speech in itself What III
do is this will write a speech, and you
shall learn it by heart and then rehearse it
to me. When you deliver it in court, you
must be dressed in light blue silk, the color
best suited to your style of beauty and If
you speak a. 1 shall direct you, 1 defy any
bench of Frenchmen to find hope for the de-
fendant."
The event proved that Linguet knew hu-
man nature and his own countrymen well.
Madame de Bethune turned out the most
apt of scholars. She learned her speech
thoroughly, and she delivered il with all the
graces of style and manner that might have
belonged to a finished actress: 1t lasted
seven hours, and for seven hours she held
her judges enthralled-
Midway In the speech, and probably with
gallant care for the lady's fatigue, they ad-
.journed to dinner, but il was already pretty
evident which way the judgment inclined.
Irascibiity would seem Indigenous to the
De Broglie family. During the interval
that the sitting was Suspended. the marshal
sought out Einguet in the Pleader's Hall;
and shaking his cane In his face, cried,
angrily,-
Just you make your client speak her
own words and not sours, Master Linguet,
or it will be worse for you-do you hcarf'
Linguet bowed low, and replied, with
ready wit
MY lord, you have Taught Frenchnen
never TO fear their enemies, and L mean to
remember the lesson
The delicate piece of fattery more than
counter-balanced the unpalatable determina-
ton il conveyed, for we hear of no unpleasant
consequences to Maitre Linguet, and we are
told that the beautiful Madame de Bethune
carried her suit without dissenting voice.
What will befall the lords of creation when
we have lady lawyers as well as lady physi-
clans?

LIVING ALoNE.-The Elmira GdzetS
| says: 1t may be very well to be an args Il,
and with the angels stand, but this being
a hermit and living alone, is not quite so
fine. At the present writing we don't
know much about the angel business, but
as to living alone eve know how it is our
self" For two long dreary weeks we have
tried it. For two long dreary weeks we
have been the only soul in the house. We
have had no one to love us, none to hug.
All alone we went to bed, not a word to US
was said. We got up in the morning just
as quickly as we retired at night. There
wasn't much house work to do, and the
barn chores didn't consume much time.
For the first few days we studied economy
and boarded ourself. We soon got tired
eating the outside slice of bread at every
meal, and threw the loaf away and bought
crackers. Remembering the difficulty thai
Brother Beecher had with his dishcloth a
few years ago, an account of which he gave
in his miscellany at the time; we resolved
not to wash any dishes, but just put the
dirty ones to soak and use clean ones. As
long as the dishes hold out we shall get
along with that part of housekeeping all
right, but they won't last always, as the
pile of clean ones is daily growing smaller,
and the pile of dirty ones larger. The
crisis i'm this particular is approaching, and
unless s'uhe folks come home pretty soon.
we shall have to borrow some dishes,
For the first few days we made the bed up
nicely every morning. For the next few
days we put if off till night and for the
last few days we have not made it at all.
We were charged particularly to water the
house plants, and take care of the bird.
The plants have caused us great deal of
trouble, but we left the door of the cage
open about the first time we curried that
animal off, and he hasn't troubled us much
since. OF course, wen ''catch it, when
the folks come home, but that is a good
deal easier than it is to catch the bird. On
the whole, we are flee to say that we don't
like housekeeping and if every we should
be ''bcrn again''-and according to very
good authority, we have all got to undergo
that operation-we earnestly hope we
sban't be born a oman, and especially a
housekeeping one. We would rather be

PRETTY SuperstitiOns.

Th,re is pretty superstition current that
when a honey-bee enters room he brings
pleasant news. which seems to have come
down to US from the days of Ovid, who
makes harnadryad despatch bee to warn
her careless lover that she pined in his alb
sence.
Once when a child, I visited an aunt in
the country, where an apiary had been for
years in a lovely green enclosure, under
large, overhanging elms, whose graceful
branches cast tender shadow over the m
dustrious and quiet community. Though
scarcely nine years old, was fond Of taking
a book and stealing away to this secluded
spot, where only the birds. the squirrels
and the bees, ever intruded. The latter
liked me, and perhaps the former, more
than | can tell just now; for they alighted
on my shoulders or book as they passed to
and fro, and imagined I stood in beautiful
relation to all Gods dear creatures.
There had been sudden death in the
family, and as there was no one who seemed
to need my companionship, sought my
moss-grown stone in the apiary. Here, all
was connection Bees flying about IN wild
disorder, not like swarming bees, but as II
all were in the air. Some one afterward
tied black badges to the hives. | was told
that unless thi was done at the demise of a
member of the family, the bees would desert
their hives, Do not be to incredulous; !;

upon a sympathy with men in all lesser

SOMEBODY'S SERVANT GIRL.

She stood there leaning wearily
Against the window frame,
Her face was patient. sad and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain
"Who is she, pray ?' asked friend,
The red lips gave CURL
Realty 1 do not know her name;
Shes some ones servant girl"
Again 1 saw her on the street
With burden trudge along,
Her face was sweet and patient still,
Amid the jostling throng;
Slowly but cheerfully she moved,
Guarding with watchful care
A market-basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
A man, 1 thought gentleman,
Went pushing rudely by,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turning not an eye;
For thele was no necessity,
Amid that busy whirl,
For him to be gentleman
To "Some ones servant girl.
All, well it is that God above
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges any one
By just the outer part;
For if the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many a man and woman fair,
By fortune reared and fed,
Who i'll not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from life,
Beyond the gates of pearl,
Will meet before their Fathers throne
With many n servant girl.
