ROyal Simplicity,

A writer says, in describing the garden
parties given by Queen Victoria: 'When
you are conducted to the garden by one
OF the scarlet tlunkies OF majesty, said
tlunkie is about the only visible hint
there is of it's being royal party. You
see pretty tents and canvas pavillions
disposed here and there under the oaks,
on the velvety lawn, or by the side of
the pretty miniature lake. If this is in
the buckingham Palace Garden, which
Is in the very center Of fashionable West
End London, the moment you have pass
ed behind the high wall which shuts it
out from st. james Park on one side and
Grosvenor place on the other, you would
never guess that you were in the midst
of the city. The surroundings are most
eXquisitely and most illusorily rural.
You see II number of gentlemen and la
dies, elegantly dressed, standing about
in groups, or partaking of the by no
means sumptuous fare which is being
served without ceremony in the tents.
The scene is cheerful, elegant, bon ton,
easy and unrestrdined. You catch a
glimpse of the Queen, dressed in black,
With here and there relief in rich,
white lace, but with no suspicion of tin.

air! nearer-now it was at her very

chair! nearer-n0w it was at her very
back.
She raised her eyes and glanced up
ward into the mirror above; oh, horror!
There 1t was the Lue of cOrpse-pallid,
bloodless,- cleaning, frey black eyes,
gled mass of shaggy hair, dark as ebony.
Its long arms were extended on either
side OF her head, and slowly enfolding
her neck. The arms closed in a horrible
embrace. She felt hot breath on her
cheek, and, then--a laugh, hyena-like,
idiotic, sounding far out in the night and
halting the passers-by in their tracks.
Mary Ernest, the bride, was a raying
maniac. The nerves, terribly excited,
cast back the stimulus, the burden, on
the brain. .
When Mrs. Ernest and William re-
turned q few minutes afterward, they
found two frenzied creatures in Mary's
room. Ono was Williams maniac bride,
and the Gther was-well, we will de-
scribe her now, as she stood in the cor
ner, with her long hair disheveled and
hanging down almost to her knees, and
her eyes glittering in the gloom
of the apartment. Her name was
Nathalie; had she not lived, the events
here narrated would never have occur
red. She was the daughter of poor
green that extended on one side of Mrs.
Ernests house. 1t was a miserable
place, but its inmates were yet more
wretched, for Nathalie was subject to
spells of mental alteration. These were
very rare, and followed by lucid inter-
walls, when she was affecti0nate and
warm-hearted. Mary had known the
girl nearly all of her life, and was quite
fond Of her. They were nearly the same
age, which was bond OF attraction.
Mary ministered to the wants of the
in her power. She had never seen Ma
thalie i'll one of her fits, except once;
but the sight had produced a deep i'm
preston on her.
Naturally, the forlorn unfortunate
was strongly attached to her benefactor
and kind friend, and was always happiest
in her presence.
On the evening of which we have seen
the occurrences, Nathalie's mind began
to wander, and her intellect became un-
settled. She was constantly thinking OF
Mary, and while in this demented state,
her thoughts returned with increased
force to the same subject. The black
smith was at his forge; there was no one
to control her motions. Quietly, with
| the cunning and secrecy characteristic
of crazy persons, she stole out and glid-
1
ed swiftly across the dark green. Either
by door or window, she found access
to her friends room, and powderinS her
face with white powder, secreted herself
behind the bed.
The reader already knows the sequel, ],
and can imagine somewhat, at least. OF
the agony that possessed Mrs. Ernest
when she saw the fearful sight and com
pretended the awful significance of that
wandering, senseless look in her daught-
ers eyes. AS for the lover, his warm,
loving heart almost broke under the sud
denness and weight of the atfliction. But
he never hesitated to fulfill his vow-hs
was kindly spirit that would choose
rather death than dishenor-and when,
after weeks of fever, and madness and
delirium, Mary recovered her lost mind
he urged the rapid consummation O
their union. They are soon to be mar
ried.

THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along In state;
The sage thinks long on many a thing,
And tile maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor plows the foamlng sea.
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without e'en fear;
But fall to each. whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word,
Dame Alice worketh' broidery WELL
Clerk Richard tales Of love can tell;
The tap wife sells her fOamlng beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere; -
And courtlers ruffie, strut, and shine,
While pages bring the gascon wine.
But fail to each, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by;
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand;
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers:
Great work is done, be it here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall
The farmer he must feed them all.

A METHODIST minister at Warrens-
burg, Mo-, having observed that the prir-
cipal and faculty Of the Normal school in
that town did not attend church, sent
the said principal, Prof. Johannot, let
ter, inquiring about the religious opin-
ions OF himself and assistants. The
Prof. replied by omittihg to answer such
questions as impertinent, and saying
that when he accepted the position he
resolved, "not to meddle with those sub
jects which divide society into sects and
parties" The correspondence was
brought to the attention OF the editor of
the Central Christian Advocate, of st.
Louis, and Prot. Johannot and the
faculty, have been very earnestly
handled for their. religious contuma-
cy. The Advocate pronounced the
reason given by The professor a feeble
sophism and all "utterly indefensible
defense" The st. Louis Globe takes the
matter up and dwells at length upon the
absurd position taken by the Advocate.
The Globo contends that outside the
schools il is no ones business what the
teacher is; provided, he is a moral man,

wife was long since dead; his children
had grown up, married and passed from

He had wealth at his command, but he

tone, but sufficiently loud to be heard by
those in the seats near him. At last the
important moment came. The. old gen.

Then spoke the noble oil maiden, II can

and must therefore refuse your Offer"
But the old man still pleaded. He asked
to pe allowed to accompany her to Cor
ry and see her parents. She declined.
His pfeadings were continued until the
train arrived at Brocton, when she again
refused to let him accompany her to Cor
ry. His train arrived and they must
part. He threw his arms around her
neck and kissed her fervently, unmind-
full of the gazing crowd. Then upon the
platform Of the car he took off his hat,
and with his white hair and beard
streaming in the breeze and tears run
ming down his cheeks, the aged lover
blessed the fair maiden, and swore to
see her again.

GOVERNOR HARDIN, of Missouri, in his
inaugural, speaks very confidently about
getting the money for all military sup
plies and damages during the war that
the citizens OF Missouri can prove up,
out of Uncle Sam. He Indignantly re-
pels the notion that the State will ad-
vance the money to the citizens and look
to the United States for retunding it. By
this one would infer that the Governor
thinks it doubtful whether the General
Government will ever pay amy such bills.
There might be some reason for paying
such bills to the citizens Of loyal States,
made all the trouble Is somewhat pre-
posterous. Missouri was disloyal at
first and an army was required during
the first year TO fight down treason
in that state; and it was as much as the
loyal portion Of the people could do to
keep it down during the war. 1t might
be asked why loyal men i'll Missouri
should not be compensated as we'll as
10y dl men III any othCl DItttS' l. HO e'h-
swer is that all who had any railssburn-
| ed or hen-roosts robbed, will prove them
selves to have been loyal; and also that
the whole people arc responsible ior sla
very in that State-slayery that caused
the rebellion; and during the war the
loyal citizens suffered the natural pen
atty for their OWN transgression in hay
ing supported slavery. 1t is True that a
few non-slaveholder were opposed 10
the institution from the first; but they
voluntarily chose to run all risks
in residing there, and there
fore have no claim for damages
from the United States. There is some
foundation for demand upon the State
for damages, because every "Sovereigr
State" owes protection of life, liberty
and property to every citizen. Mis-
souri, is responsible for all the damage
that slavery and the war inflicted on hel
citizens. Mr.. Hardin, however, insists
that the State shall not even assume the
claims in the hope of getting compensa
ton from the United States. In respect
to this claim business, we will take the
Democracy at their word when they tall
about State Sovereignty.

County National Bank, of Chicago, that

thousand acres of land in Iowa. Had
he let land alone and attended to his
proper business, his bank would not

while the comfort of both himself and

ST. LOUIS enjoys most unsanctified
pleasure in growing over Chicago. She
reports that during the year 1874 she
constructed 1896 buildings, costing
$40, ,269, 900, while Chicago put up only
757, costing $5, 700, 900; and that her clear
ing-house business amounted to $l,2l5,-
1887, showing an increase over 1873 of
more than ten per cent, while Chicago
cleared but $1,101, ,347,9lS, giving an in
crease of five per cent. Chicago has had
her day of brag, and she made the most
of it. St. Louis has learned that Yankee
trick, and seems determined to play it in

If Bergh finds business slack any time
at the Metropolis, he can have plenty to
do here any day, if he will come and see
how the poor beasts that haul Cincin-
natl street-cars are treated. Take day
like Thursday, when the track is moist
and slippery, it is almost impossible for
the animals to start car, the way they
are loaded at certain hours. There is
no plausible excuse for not furnishing a
sufficient number of cars during the
hours of going to and from business, to
prevent such inconvenience as is now
experienced. 1t is to be supposed that
the conductors pursue policy accord
ing to instructions; at all events, when
the car is com fortably full they do not go
on, but shout "Pass along up and let
more people get in here" And poor hui
manity of both sexes is crowded, jammed,
squeezed together il an unventilated car
where sometimes the stencil is sickening.
1t is time. this thing were righted. Peo-
pie pay for their rides all that is de-
manded. They should be given show
of comfort. If street-car proprietors
would take one of these jammed trips oc-
casionally, or were obliged to take them
every day, they would make better pro-
vision for their patrons. We believe
some Of them have no idea of the extent
of the annoyance and discomfort arising
from the small number of cars put on
lengthy routes during the crowded morn
ing and evening hours, and believe that
such of them will see the necessity of
remedying this state of things if they
will but give it attention. We trust we
may soon record that these convictions
have been reached and acted upon.
