For the past two or three weeks the
party leaders in Hennepin county have
been at their wits end" to find CAM
didates who they thought could be
elected Now the candidates who have
been nominated are at their "wits' end"
to find well-organized parties to sup
port them. There is a good deal Of
embarrassment all around, politically,
this, year. and the brightest man in
the city is not exactly certain as to
what political party he belongs TO-.
The chances are that there will be a
terrible mixing up of the political in~
fants next election day, and happy will

Angels Guarding Him.

At Table Rock, Nebraska, little boy named Carl Woods, four years of age, strayed away from home and was lost in the dense woods. The people of the vicinity turned out to search for the lit tie fellow and the search was kept up all night and until the next morning. All night long those engaged in the search could hear the hungry wolves bowling, and it was believed that they had de- voured the boy. At daylight the search would have been discontinued but for the earnest entreaties of the boys father, and about o'clock he was found and sur rendered to as grateful parents as were ever seen. For eighteen hours the boy was lost to them and was in the forest the wolves near him all the time, yet kept away from him by some guardian angel. The brave little fellow did not appear much frightened. He said that when he found he was lost he travelled as long as he could, hoping to reach home and then, being tired, laid down and slept till toward morning, when he was awakened by the bowling of wolves. It was dark, and he laid down again and slept till the sun was shining. Then he started to hunt for his papa, which was but few moments before being found, one and three-fourths of a mile from where he started about II o'clock the day before.

Dare Not Deny It.

A doctor who had one day allowed himself to drink too much, was sent for, to see @ fashionable lady who was ail- ing. He sat down by the bedside, took out his watch, and began to count her pulse as we'll his obfuscated condition would permit. He counted: cone, two, three ;" then he got confused, and began again: cone, two, three, four. 3 Still confused, he began again: "One, two." No; he could not do it. Thor oughly ashamed of himself, he shut up his watch, muttering: "Tipsy, I de- clare-tipsy l" Staggering to his feet, he told the lady to keep her bed and take some hot lemonade, and he would see her next day. In the morning he received the following note from the lady, marked "Private :''
 "DEAR DooToR You were right I dare not deny It. But am thoroughly ashamed of myself, and will be more careful for the future. Please accept the inclosed fee for your visit" Ca ten-pound note), "aud do not, I entreat of you, breathe word about the state in which you found me-"
 The lady, in fact, had herself been drinking too much, and catching the doctors murmured words, thought they referred to her. He was too far gone tc see what the matter was with his patient, and she too far to observe that the doc. tor was in the same condition.

The Ayenger of his Niece.

The death of Patrick Duffy, an insane convict in the Missouri penitentiary, is the end of terrible chapter ln real life. Duffy possessed an intense affection for his niece, little girl, and conceived the idea of reforming his habits and devoting his life to the raising and education oi this child in proper manner. He there fore enlisted in the volunteer service of the United States during the war, re- ceived some $60O bounty money, and paid it over to Fred. Ostermeyer, who had just marrled the little girls mother, with instructions for it's application to the end in view. On his discharge, at the close of his term, he again enlisted, this time in the regular service of the United States, and was stationed at Fort Laramie. From time to- time he for warded money to Ostermeyer for the use and benefit of his niece, until he received 8 letter from friend stating that Oster- meyer was abusing the trust, had mis- applied the money, drove the girl at thirteen years of age into an infamous life, and that she finally committed sui eide. Enraged, Duffy deserted the ser vice, found his way on foot across the plains, subsisting on berries until he reached civilization, came to St. Louis, and revenged bimself on Ostermeyer by killing him. Pat Burns, comrade, was l also implicated in the killing, and also sentenced to be hanged with Duffy; but his sentence was commuted to ten years imprisonment, and he was afterward pardoned by Lieut.. Gov. Johnson, who prosecuted the case in the Criminal Court. Duffy never recovered from in sanity, and was at times violent, but harmed no one. His sentence of death was commuted when the facts in the case were known.

WOmen's Work for Hard Times.

How the times affect women is shown somewhat by the statistics and the in- ferences of the report just made by the Boston "Bofin's Bower." Up to 1872 there was an increasing inclination among the working women to get into factories and shops. Domestic service, which offers a field for the earning of much better wages than factory labor. was neglected for productive work. The panic came and the forces in the factories were reduced. Apparently many shop girls turned domestics then, and in the general reduction health has gone down as we'll as pay. Thus, in the Boston hospital in 1S73-4 there were 4oa domestics and 51 shop girls; in 1S74-5 the number was 675 and 31; in the next year, 737 domestics and 24 shop girls; that is, the number of domestics in the hospital increased 343, while that of shop girls declined from 51 to 24. It seems easiest to account for this on the decline in health owing to poorer food and more work-results of the times and to account for the decline in sick ness in the shops partly at least by a decline in the number of shop employees. To help along those who are out of food the Bower furnishes a dinner, or did last winter, to those who needed it. Miss Collins, the manager, tells the story of her work in this way:
 In answer to questions how I manage my dinners, would say, at 12 o'clock the tables are set for fifty persons; the carving is already done and plates are arranged for that number. The girls have been collecting all the forenoon, until the reading-room looks like an audience hall strangers and others make up the gathering. Each one is given check, and if an improper person is found she is admitted that time and told not to come again. This does not often occur. When tue first set are through, one or two volunteer to prepare the table for the next set, until the last IS served then the checks are counted and entered on book, but no names taken. Last winter many worked on short time and at reduction in prices. In addition to that, they were often obliged to wait for their pay until orders were filled. This class came every day. Another class varied according to the weather-the largest number on stormy days when they could not go in search of employment. Many only came once or twice, they probably having obtained places. The first public dinner was served February IS, and the last May l. The number of meals was 4, 911 during that time. Young girls fare pretty we'll at all times, but the middle-aged women (married, widows and single) suffer in every occupation. Some people think it is an imposition on them to ask them to give work to woman upwards of thirty years, and the more refined she is the more to be avoided.

All about Bread.

If you were to constantly keep chil- dren on brown bread-namely, bread from which the bran has not been eliminated-you would soon finish their career. It is extremely laxative, and consequently would keep the children, or adults either, in a perpetual diar- rhma. My wife occasionally takes loaf or two of brown bread, for the use of the family, in place of aperient medi- cine. With rSierence to "bought bread," and bread baked at home, there is very wide contrast in the quality, and still wider difference in the expense. Some time ago 8 gentleman who took tea with us praised our bread. Further, he asked to be made acquainted with our baker. told him my wife or daughter invariably made or superintended the making of the bread, and ventured to hint that he (we both have large fami- lies) must find the purchase of bread very expensive. He said he had done so, especially as the baker had cheated him. He had ordered so many stone (fourteen pounds) of flour to be weekly made into bread; the baker charged him the retail price of the flour, yeast, milk, etc., and SO much for the baking and trouble of making. On coming home, he had suspicion as to the weight, and found that he only got eleven pounds or twelve pounds to the stone. Since he had spoken about it, he got the full fourteen pounds, and found his expenses considerably frightened. ventured to assert that he should have more than fourteen pounds of bread from fourteen pounds of flour, taking into account yeast, milk, salt, etc., but he rldicuIed the assertion. The next time my wife baked I weighed the bread as it came from the oven, and founl that the four teen pounds of flour produced within an ounce of nineteen pounds of bread. My friends wife took lesson in bread making, and has since continued it. The cost of homemade bread, at the present price of flour, is about twopence per pound, and venture to assert that the nutritive value of one pound of home made bread is equal to two pounds of bought or bakers bread.

TO MY DEAD BIRD.
BY MARIE OLIVER.

'Tis only an empty bird-cage
 Upon the marble stand,- And tiny, voiceless songstress
 Within my outstretched hand. The world moves on as ever,
 Buds bloom and shrubs outleaf ; Strive as I may my heart takes on
 A deep and nameless grief. A thousand arts and graces
 Have ceased with this dead heart; A thousand winsome beauties
 Have played their little part. hold within my outstretched hand
 A creature made by Him Who gave us love, who gave it life, Then took it back again. Poor little silent songstress,
 With rutfed plumage brown; Thou art not like us, immortal
 Heir to a golden crown. And yet with truth it seems to me
 A thought most passing strange, That He who gave thee life below, Should not there give it range. My heart had wandered unchecked forth To meet and cheer thine own; And round our friendship warm, sincere, Love's tendrils firm had grown. reach out after thee in death,
 With longings hard to quell For round thee, creature as thou art, There hung magic spell. And now, 'tis but an empty cage
 Upon marble stand; Its inmate lying yoiceless, still,
 Close clasped within my hand. And ohi how bitter 'tis to know
 When love here have given, The object of my heart-pulse warm, Will not be mine in heaven.

Novelties in Fashions.

The Beef-eater is a new English round hat of great size, with the broad brim rolled upward on the left side and trim med with several plumes, some of which are short and nodding over the front, while others sweep backward around the crown. It is shown in black felt, with the brim ornamented with gold cord and with black ostrich plumes.
 Feather bonnets without crowns are to take the place of the dressy flower bonnets lately in vogue. They are sim ply band of closely curled and shaded feathers held by loops of satin ribbon piping of satin is in front, and the strings are of satin.
 A new caprice is that of having a demi-long ostrich plume fastened by a bow just inside the brim of the bonnet trihe toward the left, and curling it along the right side of the bonnet on the edge of the brim as face trimming. Sometimes a cord of gold or golden ribbon is used to hold the feather.
 Among the novelties in ribbons is satin ribbon with polka dots of velvet. This Is handsome in beige or in old gold shades for trimming black velvet bon nets. New watered ribbons are also shaded from the palest tint to the dark est of single color the wrong side of such ribbons is of satin.
 To wear with linen collars are fine linen cravats edged with linen lace. The linen is pleated like fan partly open, and the lace is new feathery patterns oi torchon. New neck-ties are of satin, with messy flowers raised from the sur face like the pile of velvet.

A Different View of It.

The Judge-Prisoner, you have heard the evidence, which shows beyond a doubt that you opened your employers safe with false keys and stole his money. What could have induced you to do such thing?"
 Prisoner-I couldn't help it, sir. You know what the proverb says" Hunger makes the wolf come out of the bush.
 The Judge-Silence, sir You should be ashamed to offer such an excuse. Hunger may make the wolf come out oi the woods, but it does not make him open his employer's safe with false keys. I will hold you in $10O, 600 bail.

TIRE THIEF AND THE MUIR
 DERER

He was haggard and pinched and pale and
 thin, There were rents in his clothes where the wind
 came in; His deep-sunken eyes had glassy glare, Revealing the depths of his souls despair. Condemned as thief In the dock he stood. 1T was starving" he cried, "and stole for
 food" But scarcely the Judge his pleading hears, And the sentence reads, ITO pris6n, four
 years" There were angry words and bitter strife, A deadly blow and an ebbing life, Till prone, in tho light of the garlsh day, The form of a murdered woman lay; Then, later on, at the bar mp stood The man who had shed the woman's blood, With a stolid face, unstained by tears, And his sentence read, "To prison, four
 years"
