Mr. Gladstone at the annual meet

that "It was the oldest institution of

IL was an institution of peculiar mod

now customary not only to advertise
at intervals and from day to day, but
to repeat the same advertisements
over and over again in the same news
papers. This betokened a singular
state of mind; it showed there was a
certain amonnt of darkness aud great
competition for attention, so that no
one expected to gain by it unless it
were by many strokes of the ham,

The Child Stealing Case.

This affair which occurred last Sat-
urday night was not correctly stated
in our Tuesday edition. It took place
at the corner of Fourth and Spring
streets, the husband following his
wife through house and tearing the
child from her arms. She protected
her child as well as she could and in
the struggle almost secured the revol-
yer which he carried and it is believed
would have shot him had she succeed
ed. The husband is said to have treat
ed his wife cruelty and divorce is
about to be applied for. Perhaps q
little application of the lash, under
the benignant provisions of the Roach
bill, would be the proper thing.

Loving and Being Loved.

Perhaps there is no more painful
time in woman's life, says the Home
Journal, than the time of transition, when
the assiduous lover is passing into the
matter-of-fact husband, and the wooer is
gradually changing into the master.
Women, who are so much more sensitive
than men, more sentimental, too, and
less content to trust in silence to an un-
demonstrative affection, are for the most
part happy only while they are being
made love to. 1t is not enough to be
loved; they want to be told twenty times
q day, and to have the harmonies of life
enriched by crowd of occasional
notes." embroidering the solid substance
by which they live, Men, on the con-
trary, get tired of making love. When
they have wooed and won, they are con-
tent to be quiet, aud to take all the rest
for granted. They are not cold, how
ever, because they arc secure; and to
most-and those the best-practical
kindness is better than fattery, security
ranks before excitement and hysteria,
and life passed in serene friendship,
fearing no evil, knowing no break, and
needing no praising, is better than life
passed in perpetual turmoil of passion,
where thero are scenes and tears, and
doubt and broken hearts, if there are
not endless courtships and fatiguing
demonstrations.

How Cattle are Treated,

During the discussion of bill before
the United States Congress relative to
the treatment of cattle, Mr.. Allison, OF
Illinois, one of the largest shippers of
live stock out of Chicago, and who has
been engaged in the business for twenty
one years, had hearing before the
House committee on agriculture. He
said that for fifteen years of that time no
one ever thought of running cattle more
than twenty four hours without taking
them out of the cars for rest, food and
water, and that at suitable points on all
the great railway lines cattle pens were
provided. But some six years ago others
who went into the business began run
ming their cattle through to New York
without stopping. The bullocks were
thus got into high fever, and on being
unloaded they were allowed to drink all
they could. A bullock in this condition
will drink from fifty to sixty pounds of
water, and as they are sold in the morn.
Ing the purchasers pay for this increased
weight In some instances the cattle are
/ fed, but not watered, at Philadelphia, OF
Albany, and this adds to the fever, and
increases their capacity for water. The
butchers, however, notice this food, and
complain that the cattle have been
stuffed, but the water is absorbed into
the system and escapes detection. The
consumers are, of course, the victims
in the end, as they not only have to pay
for this watered stock" but eat meat
which cannot be considered healthy
since this mode of running stock was in
augurated, those previously in the bust
ness have had to retire from it, or tt
adopt the present mode of through
shipment.

Fashion Notes.

Culrasses with sleeves contrasting with
the bodice, and matching the skirt, are
most worn, but sleeves made of two ma
terlals are the newest. For mourning
and neglgee wear sleeves are cut long
and very narrow, but for demi toilet
they rarely reach below the elbow; for
these an approved style of finish is to
turn them up with lace, and often a
flower or bow of ribbon is added to the
bend of the arm.
Antique buttons are in great demand,
and when they are not used bows of
ribbon are given the next preference.
Passementerie is worn in profusion.
1t comes in most costly and beautiful
designs, among which are bright silver
braids of peculiar pattern, dead silver
braids, steel braids, checked metal and
black braids; also silver passementerie
studded with soft balls of blue, pink or
red floss silk.
novelty in aumonieres is one which
IS almost square of black velvet with q
silk pocket at the back; the velvet about
the pocket is outlined by flat chain
work of silver, while two rows of the
same chain work laid on black velvet
serve to suspend it from the waist. In
the center of the bag is monogram; !;
these can be punched in silver, with
prongs at the back to attach them as re-
quired.
All varieties of white lace are fashion
able excepting Brussels application.
Valenciennes is very popular and is
brought out in exceedingly expensive
patterns. This lace is used on almost
everything-morning dresses, ball
dresses, hats and even shoes. The Louis
NV. guipure is largely devoted to trim
ming ladies' underclothing. Torchon
lace is reserved for edging petticoats.
Old lace brings fabulous prices. Vene-
tian point in relief, before it reaches the
United States, costs from one hundred to
two hundred fancs per yard. Parlor
collars and deep cuffs of this last men.
toned lace are much worn. Many
bodlces are made with q square collar at
the back on which the Venetian point is
placed. Jabots of lace mixed in with
ribbons, and China crepe tichus trim
med with lace, are much worn with din
ner dresses. Coarse ivorv net with lace
ends and coarse ecru net are used for
the neck, tied in large bows over the fur
or velvet cloaks and jackets. Valen-
ciennes of an ecru shade is introduced
for trimming these ecru nets and for
other purpases where creme is the shade
desired. This effect, by the way, can be
made with any white lace by dipping it
in coffee.
Black lace is but little seen, excepting
on black.

A Western Romance,

The Keokuk Constitution says: Not
long ago there lived in Indianapolis,
Ind, man and wife who seemed to be
happy, until the wife discovered that
the husband was false to her. Then she
took her babe and what few effects she
possessed and left-was out on the
world, and compelled to earn living.
She was we'll educated woman, and
could converse in three different Ian
guages; was refined, and had all the
airs Of q woman who had the entrance to
good society. From place to place she
travelled, seeking some employment
whereby bread might be earned for her
baby and herself. Chance brought her
to Keokuk, and we suppose being dis
heartened and unable to obtain other
employment, she accepted a situation as
a servant in a. boarding house, and is
now working there in this capacity.

Measuring by the Eye.

Years ago, says correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, when we went to
school in little weather-beaten school
house, what exciting contests there used
to be over the teachers favorite exercise
Of having the scholars estimate with the
eye the size and weight of different OBJ
jects in the room. He would hold up
his cane, and have each one tell how
long he thought it was, and it was a
lucky child that could come within half
a foot of the right length. He would
measure an urchin and then have the
scholars try to reproduce the measure
on the wall. He would mark off an inch
or foot or yard in some conspicuous
place, and then see how near anybody
could come to chalking the same length
upon the blackboard. And it was aston
ishing how wide astray one would go.
The fact is, our eyes deceive us ridicu-
lousy even upon the commonest things
At first thought, which should you say
was the taller, three year-old child or
q flour barrels and could anything but
actual measurement convince You that
the same child is half as high as a six
footera There is an old saying that q
child two years old is half as tall as he
ever will be; and after few experiments
in measuring one can easily believe it.,
but not before.

Let the Man Out.

The late Rev. DR.. Wightman, one
night sitting later than usual, sunk in
the profundities of o great folio tome,
imagined he heard q sound In tne kiIcn-
en- inconsistent with the quietude and
security of mouse, and so, taking his
candle, he proceeded to investigate the
cause. His foot being heard in the
lobby, the housekeeper began with all
earnestness to cover the fire, as if pre-
pairing for bed. Ye're up late tonight,
Mary" "I'm jist rakin' the fire, sir,
and gaun to bed" "That's right, Mary;
I like timeous hours" On his way back
to the study he passed the coal closet,
and, turning the key, took it with him.
Next morning, at an early hour, there
was rap at his bedroom door, and a
request for the key, to put fire on.
"Ye're toe soon up, Mary; go back to
your bed yet" Half an hour later
there was another knock, and similar
request, in order to prepare for break
fast. 81 don't want breakfast so soon,
Mary; go back to your bed" Another
half hour, and another knock, with an
entreaty for the key, as ..it was wishing
day. This was enough. He arose and
handed out the key, saying: SEQ and
let the man out" Mary's sweetheart
had been imprisoned all night in the
coal closet, as the preacher shrewdly
suspected, where, Pyramis and Thisbe-
like, they had breathed their love
through the keyhole.

Not Allowed i'm the Cars.

It happened the other day on the LIE.
high Valley railroad, says the Reading
Eagle. The train had just left Eastor
and the conductor was making his first
round, when he observed small white
dog with a bushy tail and bright black
eyes sitting cozily on the seat beside g
young lady so handsome that it made
his heart roll over like lob-sided pump
kin. But duty was duty, and he re-
marked in his most deprecatory manner
I'm very sorry, madam, but it's
against the rules to have dogs in the
passenger cars"
ooh my, is that so 2" and she
turned up two lovely brown eyes at him
beseechingly. "What in the world will
do can't throw him away. He's a
Christmas present from my aunt"
BY no means, miss. Well put him
in a baggage car, and he'll be just as
happy as robin in spring"
What put my nice white dog in a
nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage carr"
I'm awfully sorry, mss, I do as
sure you, but the rules of this company
are as intlexible as the laws of the Medes
and them other fellows, you know. He
shall have my overcoat to lie on, and the
brakeman shall give him grub and water
every time he opens his mouth"
"l just think it's awful mean, so do;
and know somebody will steal it, 80
they will, and she showed half notion
to cry that nearly broke the conductors
heart, but he was firm, and sang out to
the brakeman, who was playing a solo
on the stove
"Here, Andy, take this dog over to
the baggage car, and tell 'em to take
just the best kind of care of him."
The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached over and picked the canine
up as tenderly as though it was two
weeks old baby, but as he did SO a.
strange expression came over his face,
aud he said hastily to the conductor
Here, you just hold him minute
till L put this poker away" and he
trotted ont of the car door and held on
to the brake wheel, shaking like a man
with ague.
The conductor 10 sooner had his
hands on the dog than he looked around
for hole to fall through.
"Wh-wh-why, this is worsted dog.
" Yes, SIR" said the little miss, de-
murely. Didn't you know thati"
No, I'm most awful sorry to say I
didn't know that" and he laid the
Christmas dog down in the owners lap,
and walked out on the platform, where
he stood half an hour in the cold, trying
to think of q hymn tune to suit the worst
sold man on the Lehigh Valley road

Who Is Doing IL,

WI ho in time, says the Boston Globe,
can be running tho Indiana newspapers
while their editors are junketing about
the country9 The fact that some
two hundred of these jovial deadheads
are getting attentions all around as the
Indiana editors, while the papers run on
just as we'll as though they we're at
home, suggests the horrid suspicion
that they are only holiday editors, de-
tachment of that noble army of dead
beats who are continually disgracing an
honorable profession and exasperating
its honest and hard-working members
by representing themselves as journal
lists, when not one in ten of them ever
did continuous weeks work in a news

The Great American Eagle.

In Il centennial speech in the United
States House of Representatives Casper
81. Harrison, Of Illinois, spoke as fol-
lows of the eagle and his work
Think, MIR. Chairman, of the differ
ence between now and 1776. A common
eagle, extending his flight from the ex-
treme eastern limits of civilization to it's
western limit in 1776, would have made
that flight in one single day. To- day
the proudest monarch OF the forest, lift
ing himself from the Atlantic and look
ing to the setting sun, ever intent in sail
in Onward, days, aye weeks, will have
passed before he shall be able to cool
his wearied pinions in the spray of the
Pacific; and yet we are afraid of making
centennial precedent OF celebrating
the glorious boon handed down to us by
1776.
Sir, ninety-two years ago, when the
first anniversary of the fourth of July
was celebrated after the acknowledge
ment Of independence, when the gun
first belched forth upon the eastern
slopes of Maine ut sunrise that the day
OF our national birth had come, as in
the suns rapid fight across the CONT
nent gun after gun was heard, in less
oiif,ii oaC hotu pho inot gun WAS uedTu Oh
, our western limits, and was echoed by
the crack Of the red mans rifle, and the
war whoop of the Indian was the chorus
TO THE orators patriotic words. What
is it to-day!
When the sun shall rise on the fourth
Of July next and shall gild the hilltops
on the st. Johns and the boom of the
cannon is heard announcing the one hun
| dredth birthday of our existence, as the
sun shall roll on in his march of a thou
sand miles an hour, and gun after gun
shall catch up the detonation of the last
gun, the national anthem will swell, and,
as it goes westward until reaching a
line stretching from the far north to the
extreme south of the gulf OF Mexico, one
grand peal shall be heard, peal of a
thousand guns, rocking the very founda-
tions of earth, echoed to the blue vaults
of heaven, minglng its tones with the
songs of the stars as they roll in their
musical spheres. Aye, sir, that tone,
that grand national anthem, rolling ove1
land teeming with population, rich in
all that blesscs man, will take nearly five
hours going from our eastern to our
! western limits,
