The LoDGE-It got so at last that
his wife began to wonder what bust
ness 'the Lodge" had on hand that ii
would meet four or five times per
week. He was out four nights in the
week until ii O'Clock, and he came
home with redness in his eyes, and
his step was unsteady as he passed
down the hall. He said "the Lodge"
business was mighty hard on the mus
cles, and that candidates were coming
in by the hundreds. One night he
groaned out in his sleep, and talked
of the right bower and yelled out
'spadesv and the wife wondered still
more. The other evening she took
position where she could see who went
up stairs into the Lodge rooms. Her
husband passed by and entered
place where rows of bottles adorn the
shelves, and coffee and spices stand in
a saucer on the counter to pacify
the breath. When she went in he
was one of four at table. When
she went in he was one of four at a
table. Each one of the four was
looking at the pictures on some cards
held in his hand. so this is the
Lodge, is it?" she inquired, as she
stood before him. He was caught,
and he resolved to make clean
breast of it. He laid his cards down.
rose up and gave her his arm, and said:
! won't lie to you, Mary. This is not
the Lodge room; this is where we
stop for minute to beat the blasted
enemies of our craft out of their sur
plus greenbacks. When come home
Mary, I'll bring that shawl
you spoke of The regularity with
which that man now stays at home
every evening in the week is aston
shing.

THERE is some talk-rather late in the
day, considering that Hindostan has been
virtually in the hands of the British since
the time of Give, over one hundred and
twenty years ago, of bringing the under
ground wealth of India to light. In ancient
days, and even at present, that vast country
abounds in gold and gems. The diamonds
can be accounted for rs brought from the
mines OF Goconda, but whence the yield of
goid is now unknown, though it must have
been great at one time, before navigation
conveyed it from realm to realm. India. in
short has always been regarded as an Ell
Dorado whence illimitable treasures were
supplied. 1t has been known for long
time, though hitherto not acted upon, that
India is largely underlaid by coal-felds
probably by iron ore, also, seeing that
coal and iron are frequently found near
each other. The whole surface of the land
geologists and practical miners declare, con-
ceals wonderful potentialties of future pros
perlty. Properly opened up, the coal-felds
OF India may be able to supply, not only the
wants of its own people, but great portion
ofthe steam-traffic with Europe. Now that the
Hindoos, assisted by capital, are working up
their own cotton,so as to supersede the in-
ferlor textiles hitherto supplied by the manu-
facturers of Manchester, Glasgow, and other
British industrial districts. large supply of
native coal, at reasonable price, must so di-
minish che cost of production that, ere long,
cottons woven in the United Kingdom will be
| undersold, not in India alone, but throughout
the Asiatic Continent in general, by cheaper
and superior goods. India, to speak plainly,
has had enough, and more than enough, of
Manchester manufactures sti1ened with -four
and water so az 10 give the appearance OF
substantial materials. During the present
year attempts will be made in various parts of
India, where science practically applied has
ascertained that coal is to be found, to open
that new source of national wealth, that
great aid to industry and enterprise, that uni
versal benefit-bestower. Philosophcally re-
garded, good coal mine is of more advant-
age to people than rich gold field. Indi-
rectly, large and low-priced supply of coal
in India would serve our own trade, by di-
minishing the cost of long voyages, and re-
lieving our national as well as our mercantile
marine from the necessity OF taking large
supplies of fuel into the Pacific and other
l great waters.

ALREADY the practical settlement of the
Presidential question is attended by indica-
tions OF serious break in the hitherto solid
ranks of the Democracy-solid no longer,
now that the cohesion is lacking which the
anticipation of offices and spoils proverbially
secures. Mr.. lie Moyne, of Illinois, N his
speech in the House last Saturday, plainly
foreshadowed the coming revolt against the
domination that New York has exercised !;
and the Sunday Herald, Washington paper
that has heretofore been an ardent supporter
of Mr.. Tilden, comes out squarely against the
proposition of "Tilden for $780," and in an
editorial article, so pointed and so true that it
might have been printed in Republican
journal, declaring that the Tilden campaign
had its inception and its progress in the Law
ish expenditure of money-the nomination
being purchased outright, and the campaign
conducted upon the promise and expectation
of unstinted supplies from "the barrel" Now
that there is no longer anything to be gained
by bolstering up the pretensions OF the bogus
Reformer, more of this sort of open confes-
sion will be heard from Democratic speakers
and editors.

ST. LOUIS has color doctor, and Hotch-
kiss is his name. The color cure is based on
the propagation of electromagnetic currents.
The human system absorbs the solar rays in
different proportions, and when they are
properly balanced so as to cause an equilibri-
um of temperament there is perfect health.
Every human being has its characteristic col
or, to the influence Of which it is peculiarly
susceptible. When a man is sick he has
either too much or too little of bis own color.
The color doctor has only to find out what
the color is and whether there is a surplus or
a deficiency of it, and then, when the dag
nosis is completed, to restore through electro
magnetism the chromatic equilibrium.

A PLAN for the completion of the electoral
count in the Senate chamber by the Senate,
in the event of an attempt to defeat the count
by filibustering in the House, has been dis
cussed fully, and it will surely be executed il
the necessity arises. 1t is claimed that ii
would carry out the very spirit of the electoral
law, and for this reason the act says that the
votes of all states from which there are nc
contesting certificates shall be counted, unless
both houses agree to reject. Of course if the
Senate voted to count the remaining certifi-
Gates, the question woul1 really be settled,
and they would have to be counted, whether
the House voted for or against them.

have not produced any startling reforms. In
several counties the population has actually
decreased. The schools outside of st. Louis
are generally inefficient, and ignorance and
outlawry prevail. To make matters worse,
the Democratic Legislature proposes to abol-
ish the State Boards of Education and Immi-
grafton. This is sorry showing for Bour-
bon management. Missouri possesses vast
and varied resources, and should long since
have taken front rank among her sister
states. Her vigorous and intelligent neigh
Dor on the north, Republican Iowa, has left
Missouri far in the rear.

THE pope has written letter to the bishop
of Switzerland on the recent Old Catholic
schism. He holds that there cannot be es-
tablshed another altar nor new priesthood
outside of the only altar and the only priest
hood divinely constructed. He processes the
most ardent desire for the return Of these
schismatics, and urges the Church to offer
ceaseless prayers to God for his erring chill

THE Arbitration Tribunal had to decide be
tween upholding the Louisiana bulldozers or
the Louisiana returning board. Seven CT the
members voted steadily to uphold the bull
dozers; eight OF the members voted with
equal steadiness to support the canvass Of the
returning board. For so doing they are saw
agely berated and abused by the rufiianly
class of Democrats, who at the same time
laud the course of the seven who stood by the
ballot-box suffers and bulldozers through
thick and thin.

Rumors of coalition between the North
ern Republicans and the more liberal South.
ern Democrats have reached the South, and
are variously commented upon. The general
sentiment appears to be favorable, provided
the Southern States can be assured of local
self government. Most of the journals are
disposed however, to await further develop
ments before giving support to the plan.

The Turks have strange idea of humor-
On Christmas day, Turkish gendarime, en-
ragged with the Christian Mayor of the village
of Brankortsi, Bulgaria, gave him severe
beating, saddled and brided him, and COM
PEELED the poor wretch to carry him up and
down the street. He finally drove him TO
the village inn and throwing the reins to the
hostler ordered him to walk the horse up and
down. The landlord ventured to interfere,
but was knocked down for his pains. The
soldier then ordered hay to be fed to his
steed, and the municipal Nebuchadnezzar
had to swallow it. The Turkish officers con-
sdered this most excellent joke.

That Historic River. the Danube.

The river Danube has figured largely in
history for 1000 years. and it again becomes
the object to which the eyes CT the world
have turned. 1t furnisheda highway for the
Turks in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles to penetrate Europe asfar as Vienna,
and in the days of the Crusades it became an
outlet for the religious enthusiasm of Eu-
rope to flow iato the Holy Land. The DAN
ube, from. its source in Baden7to the Black
Scs. Is $40 miles long, and it drains, with
its tributaries, ah area Of 100000 square
miles. 1t passes through Bavaria, Austria,
Hungary and Servia, to the Carpatllian
z Mountains, where it separates Roumania
and Bulgaria, and passes into'the Black Sea
through several mouths, the principal one
! being that Of Sulina. The Danube is navi-
gable for steamers as far as Uim, in Bavaria.
AT Nieapolas, in Che fourteenth century,
100, 600 Christians were driven by the Turks
into the Danube, and in the fifteenth centu-

COUNTING HER coxeuEsrs.:.

o rare in the royal completeness,
The afiuent splendor of youth,
What measursless dover Of sweetness
Is browning thy beauty in sooth
What charm, that wherever thou shinest,
Fair maid, in thy place like star,
silken-soft fetter thou twinest,
And willing thy victims we are -.
The sage with his honors that cluster,
The soldier with ribbon and cross,
The man to whom riches are lustre,
And he to whom riches are dross;
The lad, eager. earnest, but callow,
The priest with the locks that are white.
The exquisite, brainless and shallow,
Have given thee homage tonight.
All, sweet, let the lilies that listen
To catch the soft beat of thy heart.
The deep blushing roses that glisten
To see how bewitching thou art.
Hear never, see never, unqueenly
The thrill of ungracious disdain.
oh. bear thee all gently, serenely,
Too womanly proud to be vain!

FpEcold Is the breast and unlovely
"a That feels no delight in thy bloom,
And the brightness that hovers above thee
Would fain overshadow with gloom;
The good and the glad and the tender
Are blessed in thy triumph in sooth;
Dear wishes still follow the splendor
Ofvirginal beauty and youth. tg

Fashion Gossip.


Large lace collars, like those worn in old
en- times, are again coming into fashion, as
though young ladies had suddenly become
their own great grandmothers.
The latest styles of kid gloves for ladies
are fastened at the side, and arc intended
to add to the contour of the arm.
The favori!e dress this season for little
girls the ''Fritz blouse,''a long pleated
blouse, with double breasted yoke, and
kilt-pleated skirt.
| The Princesse dress with elbow sleeves,
filled with illusion (and worn for mans de-
lusion), will be the favorite evening dress
this coming winter.
Sealskin is again the favorite fur for
sacques, and, indeed, whole sets arc shown,
consisting OF sacque or dolman, muff, boa,
hat, and gloves. r. tt
Bridal wells are again of costly lace. Tulle
is tabooed
The ''poode dog style Of har-frizzed,
frowzed, and apparently uncombed-is all
the rage at present.
