From the Fargo Times of the 2sth we
gain a little Information upon the subjec,
of Bartlett Tripp's efforts in northern Da-
kota and their effect upon the people. I,
seems that Mr.. Trip has opened his sealed
hook. He has made a speech, and a,
Fargo. He started in with the %nnounce
ment that his mission was to speak upon
the political issues Of the day, whereat the
FarRoites began to prick up their ears, as
they had been reliably informed That Mr.
Trip had frequently remarked in southern
Dakota that there were no political issues
IN this campaign. But his subsequent ut.
terances to his Fargo audience were no,
very satisfactory from a political standpoint.
The dead issues Of the past" he declined
to NEEDLE with. 1t was the Giving issues
Of the present" that were on his mind and
those issues as evolved therefrom can be
boiled down into these assertions: Ben
net is a carpet Dagger; l have been here ten
years; l am a better man than Bennett
vote for me, please, you good republicans"
The Fargo Times concludes its account of
the meeting as follows:
The greater portion of Mr.. Trlpp's speech,
outside of the statesmanlike utterance thai
we were not to deal with the dead issues oil
the present, was devoted to %denouncing
Judge Bennett as a carpet Dagger, and beg
glng votes for himself as q ten years resi-
dent of the territory. His hearers, both
democrats and republicans, were disappoint-
ed in his speech. as from his high reputa-
ton as q lawyer, they expected to hear a
candid discussion of national matters from
a democratic standpoint. But Mr.. Trip
wanted to bury everything-of course In.
GLIDING Bennelt-and only consider the
living Issues of the present, which seemed
to be himself.

A Nice Little Story.

Apropos of an item of news which
comes all the way from Italy, and is 10
the effect that Mrs. John Lorrimer Gra-
ham, wife, now widow of our former
consul to Florence, is about to marry
her first husbands Italian secretary,
there is a little story. Mrs. Lorrimer
was before her marriage Miss Josephine
Garner, daughter of the millionaire
proprietor of numerous great cotton
manufactures. Mr.. Graham belonged to
good family, but had no fortune, and
was occupying the position of confcen-
tial clerk in Mr.. Garner's Office, when he
married his daughter. At the time of
business crisis about 1857, when no man
felt Bafe, Mr.. Garner, as precautionary
measure, placed 100000 in his son in
laws keeping, not as q gift, but
in trust against possible contingencies.
Those possibilities became realities. lHr.
Garner failed, but relied on his reserve
fund to begin life anew. He applied to
his son-in-law for the money, but ldr.
John Lorrimer Graham declined to re-
lingllish it. He had it, and be was 1e-
termined to keep it.
VERY WE'LL" remarked Mr.. Garner,
"I have as much energy, as much pluck,
as much perseverance as ever 1 had. I
shall 60 into business again; I shall
make money but remember you have
got all you will ever get from me" He
Kept his word. He did 60 into business
again; he succeeded so as to leave when
he died, a few years ago, fortune of
several millions behind him. One mill
lion of dollars of this money was Ief; to
his daughter Josephine after her hus-
bands death. Before that event she
could not touch it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham lived abroad,
and entertained magniicently on the in
teress of the 100000 and the insigri6-
cant salary of United States consul.
One year ago Mr.. Graham died, and his
widow came in for her million, which is
now 20 be shared by the handsome and
gentlenanly secretary of her late hus-
band.-BaLtimore american.

Same of the ladv money-counters in

- Some of the lady money counters in
the Treasury are greatly excited because
the moHey coming from the yellow fever
districts IL not disinfected before it is
given to them to count, and they say
there is no surer way of conveying infec-
tious diseases than from bank bills
When Gen. Spinner was Treasurer all
money was disinfected before given to
the counters.
- Once upon an evening dismal, l
gave her a paroxismal kiss and called
her name baptislnal, precious name |
loved of yore. All! she was darling
creature, pert of feature 4; but egad, you
couldn't teach her, for she had been there
before, and only murmured, "Buss me
more"

can be drawn out.

We have all heard of "patience ON

everybody knew it as azure thing.

1t is not advisable for any of us to oYertask our

suit of wealth or fame or knowledge how many
transgress this salutary rule. 1t must be a mat

OATMEAL.--In Great Britain children
of all ranks are raised on oatmeal diet
alone, because it causes them to grow
strong and beautiful, and no better food
can possibly be found for them. II is
also quite as desirable for the student as
for the laborer, and for the delicate ls.dy
and.her hard working sister; indeed, all
classes would be greatly benefited by its
use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifold
annoyances, can be kept at distance.
Oatmeal is more substantial food, it is
said, than veal, pork, or lamb, giving as
much or more mental vigor, while its
great desideratum, consists in ones not
becoming weary of it, for it is as welcome
for breakfast or at tea as is wheat or gra-
ham bread. 1t can be eaten with syrup
and butter as hasty pudding, or with
cream and sugar like rice. 1t is especi-
ally good for young mothers, upon whose
nervous forces too great demand has
been r1adc, and they lose the equilibrium
of the system and become depressed and
dispirited. Oatmeal requires to be cooked
slowly and the water should be boiling
hot wien it is stirred in.

PREcoc1oUs GIRLs.-An old-fashioned
notion that the simplest plan is to bring
all the young people together, and let
them amuse themselves, turns out to be
a complete failure. This is not all what
is expected, and even their parents are
disappointed with the iasco. That an
elaborate toilet should end in blind-man's
buff is intolerable; and SO q children's
party only differs from full-dress ball
in the height of the dancers. The little
lady starts for her nights dissipation
when she ought to be in bed, and has the
cares of maturity early on her mind, lest
her card should not be filled up in the
evening. She reproduces the talk of her
mothers boudoir in the ball room, and
can criticise the dress of her vis-a.vis
after the best models of well-bred dis
paragement. She distinguishes between
The dreamy pleasures of waltz and the
more athletic enjoyment Of galop. She
shows the attractions Of a supper set"
and can flirt with an air of ingenue SIM
plicity which might suggest very valua-
Bile hints to her elder sister. She has a
poor opinion of square dances, knows
her dress may get torn i'll the last figure
of lancers, and finds one of "the bores
of dancing quadrille" is that the figures
are always changing. With sedulous
care she keeps her programme, and Of
malice prepense is able to lose her pocket
handkerchief. She is quite up to the
method by which an undesirable partner
may be courteously avoided, and is care
full to see how the gentleman dances be-
fore she permits his autograph on her
card. When the evening is over she
knows she has utilized her time and has
engaged herself three or four deep for
the next children's ball at some neigh.
boris house. A dance in January is not
forgotten in the ensuing month, and her
correspondence on the 18th of February
has reference to some remembered event
in the nights entertainment. She has a
fine contempt for her own brothers, and,
with characteristic precocity affects a
terror of school boys generally, but finds
herself quite equal to sustain prolonged
conversation with her eldest sisters ad-
mirer. That worshipper having at last
withdrawn to the more appropriate shrine
of his devotion, she admits to subse-
ouent partner that all the time she was
bored. There can be, she says, no real
pleasure in talking to an engaged man.

SOUTH CAROLINA RAILRoAD.-An
effort IS making to have receiver sp.
pointed for the South Carolina Railroad
Company on the ground, among Others,
that the men now in charge of it are un-
skillful and inefficient. From the COM
pany's reports, however, its misfortunes
seem to be owing rather to uncomfortable
circumstances than to bad management
With sharp competition at numerous
vital points, and consequent decrease
of gross earnings from 81 ,49O, 900 in 1873
to 81 ,020, 900 in 1877, the per centage of
operating expenses has been reduced from
62 per cent. of the earnings in 1873 to
So per cent. in 1877; so that the net
earnings in 1877 were 1927 900 against
S576, 600 in 1878. This showing, more
over, iB better than that of the Georgia
and Central Railroads, both of which are
regarded as among the best managed
roads in the neighborhuod. tits difficult
