Putting Children to Bed.

Not with reproof for any of that days

any other time but bedtime for that. If
YOU ever heard Il little creature signing and
sobbing in its sleep you could never do
this. Seal their closing eyelids with kiss
and blessing. The time will come all too
soon when they will lay their heads upon
the pillow lacking both. Let them then AT
least have this sweet memory OF happy
childhood, of which no future sorrow or
trouble can rob them. Give them their
ROSY youth. Nor need this involve wild
license. The judicious parent will not SO
mistake my meaning. If you have met
tile man OF woman whose eyes have sud
denly filed when a little child has crept
trlstingly to its mothers breast you may
have seen one in whose childhood home
dignity and severity stood where love and
pity should have been. Too much indul-
yence has ruined thousands OF children;
too much love, not one.

Late cable news points strongly to
the certainty of a conflict Of arms be-
tween Russia and Turkey, and it is
probable that the other European
Powers will in time be involved. Aus
trials position is one Of extreme peril,
and it is doubtful if she will be able to
maintain the attitude of defensive neu-
trality which she at present is reported
to have assumed The war feeling in
Russia is intense though undemonstra-
tive, and the war, if it does come,
will be the most popular one in which
that Power has ever been engaged.

Obituary..

The following obituary notice Of Mr.
John Lewis who died at Randolph, Wis,
on the 9Th inst, we clip from the RAN
dolph Liyely Times The deceased was
well known in this vicinity, and the brief
extract which we append below, will be
read with interest by his old friends and
neighbors:
Deceased was a native of North Wales,
but for many years had resided, and was in
fact one of the Older settlers of Emmett,
near WATERFOWL IN this State, where be
had worked long and ia5oriously in clear
ing up and improving q heavily timbered
farm, and had acquired competence.
ABOUT year since he removed to his late
residence near this place, where he hoped
10 De retrieved from the onerous cares and
severe labor of his earlier dayp, aud to en-
Joy IN advanced age the fruits of bis toll.
But 1t was not to be. He was an earnest
and consistent christian, for many years q
deacon In the Congregational church, and
much respected for his honesty and good
judgment. He was also a strictly temper
ance man, consistent faithful member Of
the Temple Of Honor, in which he felt a
deep interest to the last His funeral,
which took place on Wednesday, was
largely attended The services were per-
formed by Rev. 7. R. Jones assisted by Rev.
Mr. Roberts. The 7. of Fl. of Randolph
turned out in regalia and mourning badges
100 strong, together with visiting Brothers
from Fox Lake and Cambria. The Temple
formed in line at the ball and marched to
the late residence of the deceased, when,
after suitable services and prayer by Rev
VIM. b. Roberts, the procession was re-
formed and proceeded to the NJ. E. Church
which was densely crowded After sing
ing by the choir and prayer by Rev. T. r.
Jones, Rev VIM E. Roberts delivered a
brief and earnest exhortaton in Welsh,
which was followed by an eloquent end
fitting discourse by Rev. L. r. Jones in
English, the speaker repeating some of he
most striking passages in Welsh. After
the sermon at the church, the remains were
escorted by the 7. of H and a large number
of friends to the cemetery at Cambria
where the burial took place.

THE verdict of the Coroner's Jury
investigating the cause of the deaths
of the two Jewetts, in the recent
"bomb-sbell' tragedy in New York,
was to the effect that the elder Jewett
lost his life by the explosion of the
hand grenade thrown by Orville D..
Jewett, and that the latter died from
the effects of a pistol shot fired by
himself. This is no doubt correct
conclusion of what was at first deemed
a most mysterious affair.

At the recent term of the Dodge
county Circuit Court, the owners of
land on Horizon Marsh brought suit
against the Hustisford Mill Company,
FOR overflow, by reason Of their dam,
of 1000 acres Of land on the marsh,
and lost their suit. A motion for re-
hearing was made, however, and grant
ed SO that the suit will be tried again.
1t would appear as though the over
flow, from dam at Hustisford, would
not be greatly affected either way,
while the removal of the dam would be
a great detriment to Hustisford. Col.
Pier. of Fon .du Lac, is owner of 7 900
acres of the marsh.-Dodge County

The New House.
-
tory.

The ashlngton correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune writes the following:
There is no doubt about the roll of the
new House of Representatives Clerk
Adams has swelled the Democratic ma
jority from five to twelve in most ex-
traordinary, unwarranted, and unpre-
cedented manner. In one disputed
State be put on the roll members who
had certificates from both Govern ors.
In another disputed State, on the coc-
trary, he refuses to put on the roll a
member declared elected by both Re-
publitan and Democratic Courts. He
has set himself up to disfranchise Col
orado who bears the only certificate
issued by the Governor of the State,
aud who has as manifest right to his
seat as any member From the com
position of the roll as made up, it Is
very evident that the first work of the
new House will be to correct the gross
injustice attempted to be perpetrated
by the Clerk, and to defend popular
rights against this attempt to pack tie
House. Mcpherson, Clerk of the
House of Representatives for many
years, has carefully gone over the roll
with information derived from indls-
putable sources. His conclusions are
understood to be these: On a full
House seated prima facie, the parties
would stand, Republicans, IA; Dem
ocrats, l49; Democratic majority five
The Republicans lose one in the Third
Missouri District, owing to mutilation
of returns in the St. Louis Court
Clerks Office, made to defeat Metcalf
and elect Frost, Democrat. The case
is in the courts. The Republicans
lose Pacheo, Fourth California District,
who had a majority OF one on the face
of the returns This is in the courts.
Certificates possibly may be issued
before June. In neither can the
Democratic clalment be successful.
These two losses make the Democratic
majority, prima facie, seven. The ac-
ton of Clerk Adams is most apparent
as to the three disputed States. La
Louisiana the Republicans are de-
prived of two more by the non-enroll
ment of Smith and Nash. In Florida,
by directly contrary ruling, Clerk
Adams makes additional gains for the
Democrats. In Louisiana and Florida
be causes the Republicans to lose FIVE
votes, and with the previous seven,
brings the Democratic majority to
twelve. There is also a contingency
that he may add two more Democratic
votes from Louisiana on Nichols GER
tifcates before Congress meets, making
the roll fourteen Democratic majority.
The most astonishing thing, how
ever, is performed with Colorado.
Judge Bedford has the credentials from
the Governor, which set forth the dec
larations required b. law, and no clerk
has the right to question any allegation
contained in them. Clerk Adams,
however, has refused to enroll Judge
Bedford, and has thus violated a doc
trine which no House of Representa-
tives has ever dared to violate before
It is very doubtful whether the Re-
publicans will consent to any such par
tisan enrolment.
