a CmLD's LAUGH.-Colone Ingersoll
in recent lecture made the following
beautiful apostrophe to child's laugh
"The laugh of a child will make the
holicst day more sacred still. Strike
with hand of fire, o weird musician |!
thy harp strung with Apollo's golden
hair! Fill the vast cathedral aisle with
symphonies sweet and dim, deil touch
er of the organ keysl Blow, buglcr,
blow, until thy silver notes do touch
and kiss the moonlit waves, charming
the wandering lovers on the vine clad
hills; but know Your sweetest strains
are discords all compared with child
hoods happy laugh-the laugh that fills
the eyes with light and dimples every
cheek with joy! o ripping river of
laus ter thou art the blessed bound
airy line between the beast and man,
and every wayward wave of thine doth
drown some fretfhl fiend of care!"

THE COLORADO GIANr.-Thc true his
tory of the Colorado petrificd man,"
that was exhibited recently ia New
York sity, is made public. Ii was made
at Elkland, a little mountain town in
Northern Pennsylvania, near the New
York state line, by George Hull, the
maker of the Cardiff Giant i. Il. Bar
mum became interested In the scheme
and supplied part of the capital. The
figure was taken TO Colorado, buried
there, and finally dug up, in accordance
with a carefully-arranged plan. An
adroit deception was practicod in re-
gard to the results of the scientific test,
which it was claimed was made.
Ground stone, ground bones, clay,
plaster, eggs and other materials were
used in forming the image, which was
then baked for weeks in a kiln. Hull
had intended for long time to deceive
the public with this pretended petrifac-
ton, and had spent much time and sew
eral thousand dollars in experiments.

Apples of Gold in Pictures OF Silver,

ga word fifty spoken is like apples
OF gold i'll pictures of silver" When
the body becomes diseased, the mind is
thereby necessarily influenccd.~ Ma
tional wars, state dissensions, meiehbor-
hood broils, and family differences are
more frequently than otherwise the re-
suit of diseased and disordered consti-
tutions. When the body is suffering,
the mind, acting in sympathy, will be-
come irritated and pcrplexed. When
the physical system is in health, the
mind perccivcs things in their true
light, and the disposition assumes Il
very different phase. Nothing more
directly tends to destroy the happy,
cheerful disposition of woman and
render her pccyish, nervous and fret
iul than constant endurance of utter
inc disorders. The diseases peculiar to
woman take away the elasticity and
buoyancy of health and reduce her
body and mind TO mere wreck. DR..
Picrce's Fayorite Prescription is real
pcacemaker in family. No woman
suffering from uterine disorders can
afford TO be without this remedy. The
favorite Prescription saves unnecessa-
ry doctor bills, prevents divorces,
wards off suicides, brings back buoyant
Joyous feelings, restores the woman to
health, and her family to happiness. II

The Importance Ofthe Election.

II will be well enough for republican voters to
bear in mind. ever at this early day. that upon
their vote at the coming election an appOrtion-
mcnt IL 10 be made. 1t is therefore of Importance
to future operations that the full republican vote
be pOlcd. Not many years will caspe before our
legislature will be called upon to elect two United
States senators to represent the state of Dakota.
Not alone for its present effect should the pnrty
hold firmly together this fall; There is by and
bv of far greater importance than the contest for
dclegatrship now upon our hands. But the re-
suit Of the election OF November next will possess
a significance beyond that OF any. previous cleo
tion. From it political lines will be drawn which
must stand in the make mp of our state OrsuniZa-
;iOn.-Pirs* anu DdkOfidn.
We heartily commend the above, and
urge all who want TO live in the republi-
can party of the future to stand this fall
by the party nominee. Dakota sand will
be republican. At least $4,000 people
have settled in Dakota during the past
year. They come from the farming classes
in the northern states, who are largely
republicans, and from the Scandinavian
countries the people of which are almost
always republican, and in I'LL square con-
contests Dakota will prove her rcpubli-
canism. This being so individuals who
can not afford to be lukcwarm, even, nor
can localities which hope to hold ;::.; ;:..,.-
e;:l- in TIE councils of the party afford 10
sacrifice tli>:.. rc:-tt::::..,.cs. The appor-
tionmcat in Tie next republican convcn-
ton will he based on the republican vote
this fall. and on the vote this fall lcgisIa-
tive districts will be made.

The Generals Trouble.

Chicago IntcrOccan.
General Sherman is AS much of foe to
Catholicism rs his wife is a friend, and the
reason that he lives apart from his family
(hc in Washington and they in St Louis
is that he will not tolerate the presence of
a priest under the same roof with him.
Mrs. Sherman is the most ardent lay worker
that the Pope has in America She sta nds
high in the cOunsclS of the church. both at
home and abroad. and her name is rs fam
liar in Rome as the name of Saint
Agatha. although she was never there il,
her life. She is the trustee in this country
of Peters pence which is the offerings O:
dcvout Catholicsto the Popc'S private tr as
ury, and shortly before he died. on the Oc-
casiOn of the anniversary of his pOntlficatc,
the late Plus TX, sent her rosary ofsolid
gold with a fragment Of the true cross in
the orucitix as 4 gem. Her home in St.
Louis is the home and headquarters of all
the migratory priests of America. She is
admitted to all the condolences Of the
church, and bishops and archbishops 60
TO her for advice. On the contrary, Gen.
Sherman hates priest with a profound
hatred. He dcspiscs their methods and
curses their cross rs the destroyer OF his
home. Gen Sherman knew nothing OF
his sons convictions and his desires to
enter the priesthood were not impaired to
his father until all the arrangements were
made When tho docislan WAS announced
to him. Gen. Sherman is said 20 have
groancd with sorrow, and he has not since
seen his wife or son. Before leaving for
the monastery in Europe young Sherman
wrote letter to his law preceptor in which
he said: "My father. as you know. Is not
Catholic: and therefore the step I am TAX
ing secn,s az startling and as strange to
him as have no doubt it docs to you.
Nv dear sir, I go without his approval
