FORT BENNETT.
Anitenn Of interest omitted in my pre-
yioss ;cotssspo.denes il the fact there j.
now In store at Fort Bennett one hundred
and eighty miles Of telegraph wire, to be
used BY the Northwestern company and the
military authorities jointly in the 'construc.
lion of the telegraph line already existing
between Yankton and sully, to Fort Meade,
in the Black Hills. This will close the gap
between the capital and the Hills and give
the NEST direct and cheapest telszraphic
communication between that region and
the east. A. company of the 18th infantry
will start out soon to construct this line.
The night before leaving Fort Bennett,
your correspondent was highly entertained
BY devoting several hours to : musical and
theatrical entertainment given by the MEM
bers Of the 18th infantry band orchestra.
The entire entertainment was one of those
rare amateur performances for which our
gsrrisons in general, and the llth
band men in particular, are noted. 1t af
forded pleasing diversion for the people Of
Bennett and as good as the average from
professionals.

ers, etc, to the fair, because they do
not feel safe in doing SO. While to
all intents and purposes the articles
would be safe in the fair ground pa
vilion as they would be in town
hall, yet it is true the people do not
think so. Then too, it is more ex-
pensive to take articles to and from
the fair ground than it is to and
from a hall in town. These are
only two of the many reasons why
the pavilion exhibit part of our
county fairs has dwindled to almost
nothing. If suitable hall was pro-
vided in town for the exhibition,
which would be open both day and
night, we believe the entries would
be increased hundred-fo!d. and
that the hall would be packed with
people during fair week. During
the day the people would visit the
fair grounds to witness the races and
examine the animals, and in the
evening they would visit the hall in
town to see the exhibit and each 9th
er. 1t has been suggested that the
Society undertake the erection in
town OF hall suitable for fair pur-
poses and it is believed that the rents
which would be received for it's use
during the year would pay fair in
terest on the investment"
It will be seen that this plan is
considered so much of desideratum,
that it is proposed to build hall,
especially for the use of the Fair
association. When we have build
ing SO admirably adapted for the
purpose as Columbia Hall, their
seems to be but one course before
our directors in arranging the de-
tails of the exhibit Of 1880, and that
is to hold the Fair in the town hall

The action which was taken in the
Pacific Coast States against the Chi
nese, about the time the restriction
bill was pending in Congress has
had the effect to inaugurate large
movement of Mongolians from CAL
ifornia and Nevada to the Atlantic
States. The defeat of the bill did
not stop the tide of emigration. 4
Once begun it did not grow any
less, and the Chinese have been
pouring into New York city in con-
siderable numbers for the past year.
They are not scattered throughout
the city as in San Francisco, but
have established respectable head
quarters in Mott street, and the
neighborhood now goes by the name
of New China. Large colonies OF
Ceslestials have also been planted in
Boston and Philadelphia, but their
numbers are much more limited IN
those cities than in New York. The
Herald warmly advocates the CHI
nese cause, and talks as if it believed
they were capable, in time, OF as
Stunning all the privileges and respon-
sibilities of enlightened citizenship.
Here is one morsel from the Herald
on the subject:
I'VE have among us, besides laundry
men, fifty Chinese grocers, twenty toDaG
conists and ten druggists, with enough
Mongolians in other callings to demon,
strate the adaptability OF the race. AS
they are said to be satisfied with very
small profits, it is to be hoped that many
OF them may turn their attention to plumb
ing and hack-driving."

GRANT AND THE CHINESE.
New York Independent calls the at
tention of its readers to the very
able paper on Chinese immigration
read by S. Wells Williams, LII. D.,
before the Social Science Association
at Saratoga on the 10th ult., in
which he Endorsed the statement
made by General Grant to the Chin
ese merchants of Georgetown, in
Pulo Penang, last April. In reply
to the request, conveyed in their
address of welcome, that he
would use his influence " to secure
a fair and liberal treatment for their
countrymen in America and to re-
move any restrictions which had
been imposed on their freedom to
come and go the sam, as any other
nation," General Grant told them
that "the hostility of which they
complained did not represent the
reul sentiment of America, but was
the work of dema5ogues, who, in
that as i'll other countries, pander to
prejudice against race or nationality,
and favor any measure of oppression
that might advance their political
interests. He never doubted, and
no one could doubt that in the end,
no matter what effect the agitation
for the time being might have, the
American people would treat the
Chinese with kindness and Justice,
and would not deny to the free and
deserving people of their country
the asylum they offer to the rest of
the world" Mr.. Williams says that
the island of Pulo Penang "owes
its commercial Importance to the
industry and skill of its 1000 Chin
csc settlers under the care and con-
troll of the British Government.

SECRETARY Sherman, in recent
speech, asserted that, although, our
Government would have to pay
about eight millions of dollars of
pension arrears in the month of
September, there was good pros
pect of reducing the public debt to
the extent of fully half a million.
This is certainly a good showing
and Respondent ones should feel en-
couraged.

Towards the close Of the last cen
tuIy, in tie days Of the London cof-
fee houses, when the literary celeb
rites were more eccentric than now.
and, III many cases, depended as
much upon their freaks and whims
for tie renown they received as upon
true merit, fashion existed in the
great metropolis, essentially peculiar
TO the times and quite i'll unison
with the literary complexion which
obtained both in England and on
the continent. Boswell relates that
it was customary for the leading
authors to assemble at the house Of
some of their friend and spend the
evening in n social discussion of the
literary topics of the day. Some
authorities have it that they met
most frequently at the house of Mrs.
Lontague, while others mention Mrs. ..
Nesey rs being the most frequently
honored hostess. Among those who
were to be found at these pleasant
gatherings was DR.. johnson and O
Mr.. Stillingheet; not the celebrated
Edward Stillingheet, however, who
tlourished about q hundred years
anterior to the time of which we are
speaking. This Mr.. Stillingfeet was
brilliant conversationalist and wore
blue stocking. So great hold had
this individual obtained upon the
members of these extempore lyce-
ums, that it used to be said when
ever he was absent, i" We can do
nothing without the blue Stockings"
AS the meetings came more into
noteriety and their doings were pub
licly commented upon, a humorous
Frenchman applied the term Bas
Bleu, Blue Stockings, to the pleas
ant gatherings. BY degrees, through
the working of the inevitable laws Of
local associations, the name began to
attach itself to the lively danes at
whose houses the visitors assembled,
and finally it became the popular
and acknowledged sobriquet of
certain class of women who distin-
guished themselves in the field of
literature. To show our lady friends
that the term, even in the days i'm
mediately succeeding its inception,
was not one to be sought after by
well-meaning educated, ladies, it
may be stated that Hannah Moore
has humorously sketched both the
blue stocking and their meetings in
her poem entitled Bas Bleu.
AS fitting close, we beg leave to
append what what noted authoress
herself puts, into the mouth of
staid bat witty clergyman when be
was called to tell what he knew gen.
orally about Blue Stockings

GADDING WONEN.-The other day q
woman living in Toledo went out to see
a neighbOr. leaving her three children in
the care of a girl, who, following her
mistress example, also went gadding.
The mother returned after two hours
absence, having in the meantime eX-
changed her budget of news with her
neighbOr One child was writhing in
the agonies of death. The children had
found a bottle containing corrosive sub
Innate, and the youngest had drank of
it. The little innocent died, and was
buried, a victim to its mothers neglect.
The mother is represented as feeling
terrible on account of her bereavement !;
and so she ought.
She is a type of thousands of mothers
who neglect their homes, their children,
and their husbands. and expect that fate
will forgive their neglect and save them
from its penalty. Very often their eX-
pectatiOns are realized, but it so hap
pens that once in while these alb
normal women are brought to a sense of
the enormity of their Offense against
their families by some terrible tragedy.
A woman who cannot find it III her
heart to look after her household affairs,
to see that her children are well taken
care of, and are, as far as a mother S
precautiOn affects them. out of harm s
way, and who cannot greet their huS-
band with a clean house and her pres
ence, sins when she marries. Those

CAD with their neighbor, to walk the
streets and attend every matinee, not

y MATRIMONIAL MIXTURE.-In the
wilds of Crittenden county. Arkansas,
there lives an old man named Roseburv.
His sons. Robert and John, are of the
same age, p years, being twins. Mrs.
Rosebury, the mother. died long years
ago. The nearest human habitation
was house occupied by a Mrs. Glenn
and two daughters, though, pity to say,
the daughters were not twins at the
time of their birth, and have not
succeeded in attaining that point. Mr..
ROsebuTy fell deeply in love with Mrs.
Glenn, and the two sons, Robert and
John, fell equally as much so with the
two daughters, Mary and Rachel. The
most imaginable wholesale lovemaking
ensued. The old man and widow SEEM
ed devoted to each other, and the
younger people were sufficiently so 20
marry. WiiiiiCcii. they all did on the same
day. After the ceremony the six happy
souls and the six happy bodies repaired
to the residence of the husbands. Every
thing worked smoothly. The old man
was very kind to his newly-made daugh-
ters, particularly so to Rachel. the wife
of his son John. The kindness increas-
ed and other matrimonialists marveled,
one to another. The old man even dis
regarded the wishes of his wife, and
Rachel Snuffed her Grecian nose at her
ROman-nOSed husband. One morning,
about two weeks after the marriage and
one week ago, the family discovered that
the old man and Rachel had gone.
Searching and not being able to find
them, but learning from a ferryman
that they had crossed the river into
Tennessee, the family returned. Pretty
soon an intimacy sprang up between
Robert Mary's husband, and the old
lady. The old lady was so wise and had
such broad experience that Robert never
grew tired of prOfiting by her counsel.
Another disaster. Robert and the old
lady ran away, leaving John and Mary,
who seeing, as they were not blind. that
they were left alone, clasped themselves
in loving embrace, for it seems that they
had loved each other from the first. Did
they stay on the farm No, sir. There
is a mortgage on it. They packed up
and, according to the ferryman, went
over into Tennessee Exchange

THE BETTER PART.

In the dwelling of the lowly,
In the palace of the rich
There is naught that is more holy
Than that simple kindness, which
So restrains our human passions
That they never wound a heart,
And, on each and all occasions,
Strives to act the better part
On the day when Christ, the Saviour,
Entered Lazarus abode,
He bepraised the meek behavior.
That the gentle Mary showed
And while Martha's sad misgiving
He rebuked with gentle art,
He assured her that of striving
Patience was the better part
No one lives so free from malice
To escape forever blame,
Some souls drink Remorse'S chalice
When we Judge their athirst afiame;
Shall, then, harshness be commended
When such hearts their sorrow racks ?
Christ would raise the reed down bended,
He would spare the smoking flax.
When the Pharisaic teachers
Asked the Saviour to condemn
One of sins unhappy creatures,
Nought of answer vOuched lie them;
For He knew for each disaster
Full repentance can atone,
And His hand would be no caster
OF the first condemning stone.
Are we wiser in our blindness
Than the Master in His lore?
Can we wound thrO' harsh unllindneSs
When He binds the bleeding sore
Strength lies not in that decision
That knows only to be firm,
He is strong whose fOOt's decision
Spares the humblest living worm.
He who Judges men by speeches,
If to-day the Saviour trod
Sun-burned sands of Jewish beaches,
Would direct the tongue of God;
And the PhariSee who breaches
From phylacteries abroad,
Oft is worse than he who reaches
For the chastening of the rod.
From the ruth of those whose pity
God commands by formal speech,
One can see in town and citv
Men descend from helping reach;
Is there, then, no trace that fingers,
None that people understand,
OF that law the Saviour's fingers
Traced upon Judean sand?
Ahl when all our hates and grudgeS
Shall be silent in the dust,
When the Voice shall speak that judges
Who are lost and who are just,
Men shall find of all the gTaces
That adorn the human heart,
Whether high or low their places,
Mercy holds the better part.

y CONDUCTOR who runs a freight
train on the Old Colony road has pleas
ant companion for his daily trip. namely.
a white dove, which follows the train
from Walpole to Mediield, where it
alights on a particular baIn, and reap
pears next day at the same place in Wal
pole. During a part of the way the dove
flies Just back of the cab under the pillar
of smoke and within a few feet OF the
engineer, and portion of the way by
the side of the engineers window and
within two feet of his hand as he
stretches it toward her. Occasionally
she falls back to the rear of the train,
as though surveying it, but only to re-
sumo her wonted place a moment later.
When the train runs under bridge, the
dove mounts gracefully above It, and
tumbles Immediately to its place again
on the other side.
