queen and recognized as such by all the tribes

Woodland cemetery in Dayton, Ohio, on the

influence among her race. She died in
Vicksburg last winter and her body was en-
balmed and preserved until the present time

people, visitors from the surrounding country.
1t is estimated that over $4,000 people were
in attendance. Representatives of prominent
gipsies from all parts OF the United States and
Canada have been assembling In the city for
the occasi n. The funeral procession was a

by a minister of the United Brethren church,

Mark Twain as a Reporter.

Tie reporters during this period were
Frank w. Gross, lately Secretary of the
Superintendent of the Mint, G. w. Crock
er (dead), w. K NIcGrew, E..C Stock.
Sam G. Clemens e. Mark Twain: all,
with the exception of the latter, industri-
Gus and useful in their places. In saving
this we do not wish to detract from Mr..
Clemens at all; but truth compels US to
state that. one of the best American
writers, in his way, and who has made
wealth and fame by his pen, was the
most useless local reporter it has ever
been our lot to meet. The business at that
time necessitated, of course, a good deal
% nYsical activity, and for this reason
.,Jy, we suppose, the work was not at all
IN Clemens line. An amusing and char
acteristic instance of this nav be given:

imitable draw; $ but how can [ get
them? there's no street railroad down
that way. You wouldn't want fellow
to walk mile to see a couple of long
shoremen in fight, would you?n
Mr.. Clemens remained in the office
about six month. The want Of more
active man for reporter became pressing,
as the paper was suffering in its local
columns. At last the managing editor
observed one day, while he and Clemens
were sitting in the editorial room:
Mark, do you know what I think
about you as a local reporterl'
"Werl, what's your thought"
"That you are out Of your element in
the routine OF tile position; that you are
capable of better things in literature
Mark looked up with queer twinkle
in his eye.
ooh, ya-a.s, I see. You mean to say I
don't suit you"
Well, to be candid, that's about the
size of it.''
.Ya-a-s. Well, I'm surprised you
did't find that out five months ago.
There was a hearty laugh. He was
told his unftness fol the place was dis
covered soon after he entered upon it;
but lie was aIowedto remain till he had

A Plea for the Minister'S Wife
GRANDMOTHER.

4
l have been thinking good deal late
" about ministers and their wives. Per
haps the reason is that the wives wear
out so soon. I have seen women who,
only little while ago, were young,
blooming brides, grow pale and Thin,
and look as careworn as women of fifty,
while their husbands were young and
bonnie as ever. I do not believe that a
real healty minister's wife can be found
in all New England; that is, after they
have been married half dozen years. I
think they are an abused class of human
ity Who cares how hard they have to
work. No purses are ever made up to
send them on European tours. Who
ever thinks of the intending stream Of
visitors that are forever going torthe min
listers, to risit and call, not counting
hotel Of the parsonage. Then the minis
ter's wife must attend every prayer and
conference meeting, in all parts of town:
she must be president or chairman Of all
the societies that are gotten up for yari
Gus charitable purposes; she is expected
to do her full amount of sewing for the
Circle. and in fact about three times as
much work as any woman in the town,
Now, if were minister's wife (and I
reckon it is nice arrangement for some
people that am not), should rebel.
IF they expected me to work for the
societiey and the church, I should havea
salary; and if | did more work than tn.
minister did, / should demand salary
accordingly.
What right have community to ex-
pect or require, all these things Of q lit
tie, perienced. delicate woman! Just
because she happened to fall in love and
marry a clergyman is it any reason why she
should be made slave, for the convent
|ence Of the people In his charged Her
/ husband works for the good of his church
and society at large, and he has has pay
for 1t. Why should not ibis wife have
pay too? She might then be expected
to haveean outside Interest, and well af-
ford to hire her own work done.
e is all wrong to demand more from
ministers wife than from the .decon's wife
or the doctors wife. Does society ex-
pect these women to devote their time
and strength outside of their homes and
families? Oh no! but q minister's wife
I is a different person entirely She can do
so much good Paw her for the good
she does. say; and remember that she
is mortal, and do notEexpect her to suffer

Why A Schoolmaster Left Town.

a Virginia City man, says the Chron.
icle, who fromerly taught school in
Honey Lake Valley, has been telling
Dan De guile why he left that rural
region. While employed as teacher, it
seems he I" boarded around" and one
night, while at the house of an old rauch-
man, gave one Of his boys some extra in
structions il geography. The old man
overheard him telling the boy that the
earth turned around once in twenty-four
hours, and g kicked against it. He said
he had heard such stuff talked, but there
was nothing in it, he could prove. he
filled tin cup with water and set it on
top OF his gate post, saying
: Now, young Teller, ifthe world foIs
over, as you say, the water will be ali
out of that cup in the morning, and You
will be right, if the water is still in
the cup, I'll be right, and the world
don't flop over. z
The water was found IN the cup, and
the old man trump hantly exclaimed:
:" Thar, give mo common sense any time
against book -larnin'.''
Word went forth in the neighborhood
that the teacher was an ignoramus. and
he was invited to take walk. Areport-
ter asked the ex-teacher If that. was the
only reason the farmers had TOR bouncing

incurred the deadly hostility of one of the
school trustees by laughing uproariously
at question put by the old man. The

How sweet, as we're floating on life's chang
ing billow,
Like mariners voyaging over the foam,
To think of the dear ones in yonder blest har-

And the beautiful songs they are singing at

How sweet to be thinking of pearly gates open
And angels in white robes so spotless and
fair,
With golden harpsIringing in mansions of
And sweet songs Of love floating soft on
the air.
How sweet to believe that our Savioris Jesus,
And trust in His strength as we're gliding
along:
His love will meier fail us; it guides us for
And fills our glad hearts with a beautiful
song.
How sweetto be singing, while or'er the
waves gliding,
And praising the Lord with our heart and
our song,
And working and praying that others may love
Him,
And Join in His praise as we're floating
along.
How sweet to be thinking of angles and loved
ones,
And joys that await us in Heaven above!
Sweet strains will be floating, when Jesus
our Savior
Shall welcome us home to the mansions Of
love.
Dear Savior, we thank Thee, we love Thee,
and trust Thee;
Well sing OF Thy love IS we journey along,
And, oh, when we enter the harbor of Heaven,
Wen praise Thee again with beautiful

It sounds strange to us Of New Orleans to
hear st. Louis complaining Of the late sale Of

city to sell 5 per cent bonds, but as the
price offered for these was not largo enough,
bonds bearing 6 per cent interest we're
placed on the market instead and sold at 1ol
st. Louis is complaining of the sale on the
ground that the price realized for these bonds
was not high enough The bonds sold were
to replace old per cent bonds, 50 that St.
Louis will be able by this change to reduce the
rate of interest she is paying on her debt |

think that the Republicans will make much
use of it during the coming campaign. The
issue never amounted to anything, and II 1t had
ever grown threatening, the Democrats could
have settled the whole question at once as
they probably will settle 1t before Congress
adjourns, by adopting Mr., Potters bill, send
ing all claims to the Court Of Claims, and
making It impossible for Congress to pass
,,pon any that are not favorably reported

would save Congress great deal of trouble;
svnld keep disagreeable questions out Of
Congress, and would enable claimants TO
have all their claims passed on much more
rapidly and more judiciaIly than they are now,
1t is probable that the adoption Of Potters

Mr.. Money, of Mississippi, has pricked the
arebel claims bubble upon which the Repub-
licans counted SO confidently in the coming
campaign. The New York Tribune, which
made itself the organ of this movement, not
withstanding its ablest efforts. could only
make the private Southern claims" mount up
to $6,757,793. BY iudicious doctoring, how
ever, adding the cotton tax and every other
claim that had ever been most distantly re
ferred to, the Tribune was able TO swell the
grand total of Southern. alias "rebel," claims
to $500, 0oo, 900. This showing, false and absurd
as 1t was, seemed 50 promising to the Repub-
licans that they seized upon rebel claims" at
once as campaign issue without investiga-
ting the matter more closely. Here was n com
Portable issue upon which all classes Of Repub-
licans could unite; the administration declared

main planks of its model platform; the ultra
