In tho Brookville Times, of last week,
the following appears:
"Under the head Of .Brookville Items,
in the Saline County JOURNAL, of jana

versed with few o. the "voters" on
the subject and they confirm our
statement. We have considered the
matter carefully and judge the people
of this section of the county by the rest

1t will be remembered that cons,dera
bic opposition was worked up at Topeka
few days ago TO the confirmation OF
Representative Faulkner as member OF
the State Board of Charities. The OPP
position was purely of personal ma
ture, and for that reason probably failed,
rs it should have done. Tho Topeka
Commonwealth has this to say upon
the subject:
The confirmation of c. Z. Faulkner,
rs Secretary OF the State Board of Chart.
table Institutions, Is as it should be, q
good man in the right place. He is an
indctatigable worker, and good accoun-
tant, and when the State concludes to
change her State Treasurer, We know
of no better selection that they could
make than Mr.. Faulkner
We heartily endorse The nomination
made by the Commonwealth, believing
there is no man in the State better fitted
for the Office of State Treasurer than
Mr.. Faulkner.

There has been some discussion in
financial circles as to the effect of the
Russian plague on the trade of this
country. The discussion has resulted
in the conclusion that the establishing
of . Gordon of sentinels about the IN.
fected districts by adjacent nations, to
prevent the spread of the disease, is
practically laying an embargo on the
Russian export trade, and cutting of
from the markets of Europe the great
grain supplies which are annually bro,
from Russian fields. fhe general de.
moralization which exists by reason OF
the disease will prevent the growing OF
the seed for future crop. Russia
troubles will spring an extraordinary
demand for American cereals, and bring
high prices. All this speculation is no.
unreasonable.

The Journal of Commerce of ST.
Louis has published the result of inter
viewing about 1000 leading business
men of that city regarding the trade Of
January of this year As compared with
the same month of last year. Here it
is: A large proportion of those consult
ed, including representatives of every
branch of trade, report material IN
crease of business, particularly the
manufacturers, some Of whom show as
much as - per cent. more in the amount
of sales. The business of jobbers in
some lines report less than last year,
occasioncd by the severity of the win.
ter and bad roads. Nine-tenths of those
interviewed express belief that the bu-
siness of the present year will be much
better than for three years past.

WORK FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

During the remaining seventeen Gays
of the Legislative session, our repre-
sentatives and Senators will have to keep
themselves pretty busy, if they expect
to 60 over all the work laid out Tor
them by the Commissioners appointed
to revise the statutes. If the work is
done properly, even the days remain
ing will barely be sufficient to accom-
pllsh it. 1t therefore is incumbent upon
the legislator to take up very little time
with buncombe speeches, and waste as
few hours as possible upon questions
which are not of vital importance to the
State. If heed is paid to the demands
of the people to cerk, then there will be
no need of that expensive luxury talk
cd about, known as an "extra session"
Members sometimes seem to labor under
the impression that about all that is ex-
pected of them is to elect State PrIn-
ter and United States Senator, and
that when this is done their mission Is
ended. AT certain times III the past it
would have perhaps been much better
if the Legislature had devoted its entire
time and attention to State Printer and
Senator manufacturing, and not impos-
cd upon the people the great mass OF
senseless and cumbrous Legislation
which has filled our statute books. 1t
might have been better for all concern
ed. That legislation which made our
statute book SO bulky, our laws so con-
ficting and unsatisfactory, together
with cry for such changes rs are based
upon the popular theory Of retrench-
ment of expense, resulted in the crea-
ton of commission to revise the
laws; and it is the work of this commits
sion which demands the attention OF
the Legislature for tho remaining days
of tho session. Therefore the people
expect something moro Cf the members
this wiLter than the election of Printer
aud Senator.

Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, says that Representa-.
tives Springer, of Illinois, and Hewitt,
of Alabama, were sitting in the Demo
cratic cloak room of the House the other
day gossipping about the next Presiden'
tial campaign, and Springer asked Hew'
lit how Grant would run IN the South
ern States. Said Hewitt "Run? We
haven't got rifles and shot guns enough
in tho South to keep the niggers from
voting for him." Which seems to be
the general feeling among the Southern
Democrats.

THE ROMANCE OF \ HAIR.

The romance of hair comes from
Vienna, \ poor girl with beautiful hair
went to q barber TO sell it, He tried to
make close bargain, saying hair was
plentiful this year, and declared he would
give her only eight forms. The little
maidens eyes filed with tears, and she
hesltated a moment while threading her
fingers through her chestnut locks. Finally
she threw herself into a char and said:
Then take it quickly The barber was
about TO cut off the tresseS, when gentle
man sitting in one of the chairs interrupted
him, and spoke to the girl. My child
said he, why do you sell your beautiful
hair:' MY mother has been nearly five
months Ill. l cannot work enough to sup
port Us. Everything has been sold or
pawned, and there is not a penny in the
house NO, no, my child; if that is the
case, | will buy your HAIR, and give you
one hundred tlorins for it lie gave the
poor girl the note the sight Of which dried
her tears, and he took up the BARRIERS
shears, Taking the locks in his hand, be
selected the longest hair, cut it off, and put
it carefully in his pocketbook, thus paying
one hundred tiorins for single hair He
took the poor girls address, in case he
should want to buy another at the same
rate. This charitable gentleman is men
toned as the head of large industrial es-
adjustment in Vienna.
