They waltzed to the inkling measure
OF the tune so diyinely played;
The night was SO full of pleasure
And the gods they must be obeyeds
1t was Fate who had brought them together
On the happiest night in the year,
And was Fate who should tell them whether
That meeting would cost them dear.
They danced, and smiled and dissembled,
And fiirted the mad hours by;
And the lips and the hands that trembled
Are nothing to you and l.
The ices were brought and wasted,
As ices must be at a bali;
Torn fonnces were pinned and basted
BY patient mammas in the hall,
They fled from those odious lancers,
So full of the prosiest airs;
They stole awav from the dancers,
And whispered and talked on the stairs?N
The lace on her bosom fluttered,
: Her heart beat wild tattoo:
She blushed at the thoughts he uttered,
She wondered If they could be true!
The moment had come for departing,
He fingered to press her hand;
The roses that fell at her starting
He captured-the vile Brigand.
At last the good-byes were spoken,
The beauties had goLe off in pairs y,
The spell of the bal was broken,
Bnt there fingered dream of thee stairs:

John Robinson made New Years calls
He called ON saloon keeper, he called for
liquor, called the liquor good, and drank
enough to trip him up Then he called for
police, and when the police came he called
them liars and such.
'sI was having little fun, he explained,
winking at His Honor.
g John Robinson, are you aware that this
is very solemn world," !" said the Court, "a
world that has ten heart-achcs to one smile?
Don't you know that the grim shadow of
grief rests upon every door step, and that
the tombstones in the cemeteries almost
outnumber the trees in the forest? There's
wailing in every household, John Robinson
there's grief in every heart. And yet
you claim that you were only having a little

One man, whose name is Bailey,
manages to support himself off of a
small grazing farm of about 1000
square miles; it extends over one
large county and portion of sew
eral others This man drives from
the plains of Texas between 10000
and $4,000 head of cattle every
summer. Bradley, Mason, or
Singleton are equally as extensive
dealers. bradley is, perhaps, the
wealthiest and shrewdest stock
man in the State. He owns vast
herds of sheep, cattle, and horses,
and, through good management, he
has accumulated a colossal fortune.
He is now serving his second term
as Governor of tho S ate, and. al
though he is an uneducated from
Herman, with o strong lack of con-
fidence in his own ability, he has
thus far discharged the duties of
his Office in a manner that chal-
lenges admiration.-Cor. st. Louis

GREEK HUSBANDS.

The Modern Atheniau Model Family
Mantle promised Land for WO-
men.
Olive Harper thus writes to the
Globe-Democrat from Athens: The
city of Athens is built of white stone,
which contrasts most beautifully with
the rich trees that are planted along
every street. Here every man has his
own vine and fig tree, and all seems
peace and prosperity. In regarding
modern Athens from this hight, / am
reminded of Selkirk's soliloquy,
Here every prospect pleases, and
only man is vile!' for the modern
Greeks have the name of being the
most crafty people under the sun.
Crafty they may be, but they are at
least proud and independent, and
their attachment to their families is
something to admire. Here is, indeed,
in one respect, the promised land"
for the women, for more devoted hus.
bands women never had. A Greek
man is only content when he can Law
ish upon his wife all the Injuries in
the way Of dress the female heart can
desire He is only happy when, in
company with his wife in the house,
the street or on the promenade, she
is the best dressed Of all the fair.
With the Greek husband, there is no
grumbling consent to bestow upon
you enough to buy pair of boots,
while he spends ten times that amount
with his friends in champagne sup
pers; no long drawn vissage as he
doles out a stingy sum while deliver
ing a solemn lecture as to female ex-
travagance. Not bit of it. On the
contrary, the Greek husband does not
lead his wife through by-streets for
fear of dry goods stores, when she
wishes to go out for little walk. He
leads her, on the contrary, past the
with the eye of the critic all the new
styles, and is really (ladies). really
and truly willing to spend his money
for his own wife. X Even for fear she
should not be considered as lovely as
some one else, he goes to perfumers,
he buys cold cream, rice powder, deli
cate pink for cheeks little blanched
by the stern realities of motherhood.
he buys little black for eyelashes, to
brighten eyes that have become some
what dimmed by tears, perhaps, or
vigils over sickly babes, and he not
only gives his full and free consent to
their use, but he himself will artistic
ally apply them, and afterward COM
pliment his wife on her beauty till her
heart swells with the love that he
knows so we'll how to retain, fresh as
when the first vows were plighted.
Yes, of a verify, the Greeks are bad
men, but good husbands and tender
fathers.

A defunct Celestial was yester-

Anecdotes or Finn.

Henry j. Finn was at one time
the most popular comedian in
America, and was widely known as
q humorous writer. He was on
board of the Inflated steamer Lex
ington, which was burned on Long
Island Sound about thirty.five
years ago, and he went down with
the vessel.
He issued the following moroccan
the day previous to one of his
benefits at the fremont Theater in
the city of Boston:
alike a CRATE full of GOALS burn
A greatfull house to see;
And i'll prove not grateful too,
A great fool shall be.''
He was once q witness in q case
before the Common Pleas, in Bos-
ton, and his testimony was SO di
rect and conclusive that the coun-
sci for the defense thought it nee.
essary to discredit him. The fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
"Mr. Finn, you live street,
do you not3'
sYes; I do"
@ssYou have lived there great
whilea"
"Several years.
'sDoes not female live there
under your proteetion?"
ssThere does"
s'Does she bear your name!'
"She is certainly known in the
neighborhood by the name of Mrs.
Finn"
els she your wife,"
No, we were never legally mar
RED"
''That will do; I have nothing
more to ask"
"But / have something more to
answer" replied Finn with spirit.
s'The Mrs. Finn of whom you
have been pleased to speak with
such levity is my mother! and I
have known but one man base
enough to breathe aught against
her; you. sir, can guess who he is.
True, she is under my protection.
She protected me through my in~
fancy and childhood, and it is but
paying a small part of the debt I
owe her to do as much for her in
her old age"
The baffled counselor had not
another word to say.

habit OF making filings at the char

spoken of usually as the Treas

The man who would vote and work
against the Republican party because
q few faults have been developed In
Its splendid record of fourteen years,
10 as wise as the man who destroyed
his wagon-wheel because active ser
vice had scratched the point on Its
surface. The purest man that ever
lived had his faults. They belong to
human nature. IF we overlook vir-
tues and magnify trifling faults, the
most illustriOus character must pass
under our condemnation.
The Republican party must be
judged from the standpoint of COM
mon sense and ordinary justice.
There is enough revealed to the eye,
seen by all men, that is grand and
praiseworthy in its history. without
applying the microscope to the in
spection of imaginary faults.
The party lays no claim to perfec-
ton, but it does to political honesty
and true patriotism, and points to its
past record for the vindication of this
claim. If it has committed errors it
has been quick to remedy them. 1t
has labored to do right. Justice, hui
mainly, national unity have been the
objects toward which its face has
turned. To advance, protect, and
secure these as the groundwork Of
our nationality, its whole energy has
been directed.
There is no risk in trusting the Re-
publican party. Its fidelity to the
Republic has been tested. 1t was true
in the time of peril; it cannot be un-
true in time of security. There is
risk, a positive danger in trusting
Democracy. Its record is bad, its
present teachings are dangerous. it's
leaders are unworthy Of confidence.
What we know to be good and reli-
able we should earnestly support.
What we believe to be bad and unre-
liable we should Realistically Re-

A Flash OfLightnlng from a Clear Sky
While the thunderstorm OF yester-
day afternoon was raging at distance
of apparently couple of miles from.
this place, singular freak of nature
took place, in the striking by light
ming of the depot, and the striking
and killing subsequently of j. H.
Boyer, the postmaster and blacksmith
of this place. At about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, at which time not a
cloud obscured the sky overhead, or
stood between the sun and the town,
a terrific fash of lightning, followed
by deafening peal Of thunder, struck
the wires of the telegraph Office and
set it on fire. The damage done to
the telegraph apparatus was most
complete, the wires being torn to
pieces and the different instruments
being almost without exception dis
torted and broken and completely
wrecked. Immediately after the
stroke, John III. Boyer, who was in
his shop at the time, ran out in the
street toward the depot. where some
boys had been playing. He approach
ed them rapidly and said: why,
boys. [ thought some Of you had been
struck. was frightened on account
of you He evidently had it in his
mind that the terrible shock might
have frightened his family, as he start
ed toward his home Immediately.
When within about fifty yards of the
house, from the front window of which
his wife was anxiously watching his
approach. another vivid fash of light
ming dazzled the eyes of all, and, ere
the thunder had ceased rolling, the
naked body of the unfortunate man
was seen to be lying prone upon the
ground: A number Of people, among
them his wife, rushed to the spot, and
was not until he had been carried to
had of the terrible death which ma
ture had inflicted upon him. An ex-
animation of the body, from which
every vestige of clothing, not exclud-
ing even a pair of cowhide boots, had
been instantly torn, showed that the
subtle and fatal fluid had first struck
him on the top Of his head, whence,
though the skull was left apparently
intact, the hair had been burned of
for the space of the size of silver
dollar. Thence the fluid had run
down the side of the face. as was
shown by clearly cut track, to tn,
shoulder, and thence to the heart,
where it apparently had spread all
over the body.
The terrible power of the fluid was
shown by the presence in the ground,
on the spot where the unfortunate
mans body had been picked up, of
hole eight feet deep by actual meas
urement The clothing of the deceas-
ed was found to have been shredded,
and when first discovered was on fire,
while the silver watch he carried had
been driven into the ground, and,
when lifted up, it was found that the
works had been fused into a lump of
shapeless metal. The scene at the
house of the deceased, who leaves
wife and three children to mourn his
loss, was painful beyond words to de-
scribe, and those who had been led to
the spot through curiosity could not
remain. The affair has created the
profOundest sensation in the town,
where the deceased was both loved
and revered by all who knew him in
either public or private life.-Sioux
