Youthful ElOpers.

Council Bluffs is just now deliriOus
with excitement consequent upon So
cial sensation in the shape of a double
elopement of lovers of very tender age,
none of the parties exceeding 10 years.
The names of the boys are Willie Hag-
gerty and Johnny CohoOn, but the
names of the girls are withheld on ac-
count of the hitherto very prominent
positions which they held in society.
The elopemeht, it appears, has been UNI
der consideration by at least one of the
couples for the past three weeks, and
as soon Is they fully decided upon the
step they drew into the snare the second
couple, for company's sake. One OF
the girls managed before leaving home
to possess herself of about 500 belong
ing to her mother, and which she drew
from a bank. The young couples
crossed to Omaha and took the train for
San Francisco, after having purchased
four through tickets. Steps were at
once taken by their parents to have the
young clippers intercepted, and they
were arrested at Cheyenne, and in a
day or two will be returned to the place
whence they started. 1t is hardly prob
able that these young people were aware
of the very foolish step they were taking
whea they left home, and it is to be
hoped the mantle of charity may be
thrown over them, otherwise the future
of their lives will be blight.-Stou1

How to Do HousewOrk and Be
Beautiful Still.

a
Our rural friends who bewail their
hard condition as farmers wives and
helps, and our city friends who deplore
the circumstances which compel
them to do duty as kitchen maids while
that of parlor companion would fit
more becomingly their education and
accomplishments, may take courage
from the following practical hints adj
ministered, with much spice of manner,
by Matilda Fletcher: 1.-The most beau
.tiful woman l have ever known was
farmers wife, who attended to the
household duties for afamily of four,
and also assisted in gardening and the
light teamwork; and yet | never saw
her hands rough and red; never saw
even a freckle on her nose. Impossi-
BILE! you say; how did she manage? /
never asked her, but she had some en-
vious neighbors who went slouching
around with red, scaly hands, sunburnt
faces, and their hair matted with dust
and oil, who let me into the dreadful
secret. They informed me with an
ominous shake of the head that she was
the proudest mink that ever lived; that
she actually wore india rubber gloves
when she used the broom and
scrubbing-brush, and always when
she worked outdoors; that she had a
bonnet made of oil-silk completely
covering the head, face, and neck,
leaving only apertures for seeing and
breathing, thus securing perfect free
dom from sun, wind, and dust. Did
you ever hear of such depravity? She
also fastened her dish-cloth to a stick
so that she need not put her hands in
hot water. For the same reason she
accomplished her laundry-work with
machine and wringer. And then to see
her in the afternoon tricked out in a
fashionable white dress, with a bright
colored ribbon at her throat, and a rose
in her hair, entertaining in the parlor,
as though she was the greatest lady in
the land, was more than their patience
could endure. And her husband? He
had such satisfied expression that it
was aperfect aggrayation to ordinary
people to look at him. He deserved to
be happy because he encouraged and
helped her to cultivate beauty in her
self, her family, and her home; and l
don't know but her success principally
belonged to him, because he brought
all the new inventions that could light
en- her labors, and all the delicate and
pretty things she needed to adoln her
home, and when she was sick he
wouldn't let her touch work until she
was well and strong. archaeological

+" Only Waiting"

Mr.. Saxtonbury has money in the
savings bank, and the wife generally
has charge of the handbook. She hap
pened to open it the other day, and
was surprised to find that he bad got
hold of the book and drawn $50 only
the day before without having said any
thing to her. When he came home to
supper she asked him if he couldn't
spare $40.
Cant spare shilling" he replied ;
"never so hard up in my life.'
"What has become of the $50 you
drew from the bank the other day?"
she demanded, trying to catch his eye.
"That Observation-Disclosures.
That money bet on Indiana" he hest
tatingly replied.
"And you lost it'll"
"No, my dear, l won 800 with it.. l
didn't want you to know any thing
about it until 1 brought home the seal
skin jacket, but as You have found out,
why, | must explain"
"When do you get the money!" she
anxiously asked.
50 Oh, it won't be long. The official
count has been made, and as soon as
the returns are sent to the Secretary of
State he will forward the official ma
jority to Washington, and the Secretary
of the Navy viii telegraph nae the re-
suit. Do you prefer brown or black
scalp"
"I'll take brown, my DEAR" she
smilingly answered, land l do hope
the returns will be here by Saturday"
Days viii pass, weeks will glide away,
and along next May, after that good
woman is almost worn out with ankle
ty, Mr.. Saxtonbury will suddenly as
certain that he lost his $50 instead of
winning 800, and promise to get her a
silk dress in the fall.-Detr05t Free

Bathing in the River Morava.

The war correspondent of the London
Telegraph writes: A great deal has
been said about the Morava in the
course of the war. Let me tell you what
tits like. Clearer, prettier stream never
flowed than this boundary of Turkish
and Servian camps. With a swift cur
rent, it runs silently by Alexinatz and
Drugevatz, but higher up, at Supovitz,
it takes a sudden bend and forms into
the exact figure of the letter s, where,
having been reinforced at every few
hundred yards by tiny streams and riv-
ulets, which flow from the mountains
on either side, it rushes like a torrent
over the white sands which spread far
and wide within few miles of Nisch.
l believe that at its origin it is well
laden with red earth; at Supovitz and
Alexinatz it is as clear as glass. When
Ahmed Eyoub's army was on the other
side, in the Valley of Resavei, it was
our delight to descend into the plain
and battle in the cool waters of the Mo
rava. But when that extraordinary
move which resulted in absolutely moth
ing was made, and we found ourselves
in our present quarters, it was impossi-
bic to battle any longer, for Servian
rifles were many and their owners en-
ergetic.

The Wrong Man in the Peniten-
tiary.

The other day two persons named
O'Hare were committed to jail. One
was committed to the Penitentiary
for six months, while both were still in
Jail. When Jailer Crounse hallOoed for
O'Hare, to go to the Penitentiary, he
did not apply The Christian name, and
the result was that the chap who had
not been sentenced, but who was anx-
ious to get out, answered, and he was
taken to the Penitentiary. A few days
later O'Hare was again called by Jailer
Crounse, and the other chap, who had
really been sentenced, answered. On
reaching the front office, a discharge
awaited him, and he was set at liberty.
1t was then discovered that the inno-
cent man had been conveyed to the Pen
itentiary, while the guilty one escaped.
The chap entitled to discharge is still
prisoner.-Al5any Knicke1 booker.

THE / orfolk Va.) Landmark says:
Passengers on the Valley Railroad are
attracted daily by the conduct of large
and intelligent dog waiting by the road
side for the daily newspaper, which was
formerly thrown to him from the bag
gage-car for his master, who lived half
a mile from the rails. The master mas
been dead many months, but the faith
full dog has not missed the mail train n
day since. There is no paper for that
master now, but sometimes the bag
gage-man, in pity for the dog, losses a
paper to him as the train rushes by,
which ne eagerly seizes and starts joy
fully over the hills for home. When
the train rushes by and no paper is
thrown he rushes wildly up and down
the track, gazing after the cars with an
almost human look of disappointment,
and joys dejectedly homeward.
