took her two little boys, one almos

in camp, following him into battle, in

She had an ambulance at her service,
and it was in that she used to follow

wounded, she had her ambulance
driven right into the battlefield, and
him pulled out from the dead and
wounded and placed in the ambulance,

this was done under the heaviest fire,

Wife.

What do you think the beautiful
word "wife" comes from? 1t is
the word in which the English
and Latin language conquered the
French and Greek. l hope The
French will some day get word for
1t instead Of that drcatful word
femme. But what do you think j.
comes from? The great value of
Saxon words is that they mean some
thing. Wife emcans "wcavcr." You
snust either be housewives or house
moths remember that. In the deep
sense, you must either weave mems
fortunes or embroittcr them, or feed
upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home
is always around her. The stars
may be over her head, she glow-worm
in the night cold grass may be the
fire at her foot; but home is where
she is and for q noble woman it
stretches fur around her, better than
houses cciled with cedar and painted
with vermillon, Shedding its quiet light
far, foi those who else are homeless.
This believe TO be the woman's tue
place and powcr.-Rush'in.

Gratting.

A gentleman in Bryan County has
adopted the plan Of grating the
peach upon the rapid growing varie-
ties of plums with most gratifying re-
suits. lie has an orchard Of 200
irccs thus grated, from which he
gathered fine crop Of superior fruit
last summer. He claims for this
plan decided advantage in lie coast
region, and bases his opinion upon
results. Tie difficulty hitherto ex-
pcricnced by those who have expert
mcntcd with grating the peach upon
the plum has arisen from the fact that
the peach is 9 more rapid grower
than the plum, and hence is liable
to break of at the point Of the juno
tion. This seems TO have been over
come by using the quick growing va
rictics of the plum. 1t is a common
practice to graft the plum upon the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The national work

President to sign the bill restricting Chinese
immigration, as it is the only means that will

Senators Sargent, Booth, Mitchell, and Jones
of Nevada, and Representatives Williams of
Oregon, Wren. Page and Davis and ex-Repre-
sentative Phelps had conference with the
President to-day for about an hour, and urged
him to sign the bill restricting Chinese immi-
grafton. Sargent, in his argument, pictured
which came with the Chinese, reviewed their
history in this4-cnntry, and showed the evil
results of which their presence had been pro-
ductive. He called attention to the deteriora-
ton of American labor which existed wherever
the Chinese had found their way. He also
stated a veto of the bill might affect Republi-
can interests in California disastrously. All
the gentlemen made similar arguments. and
called attention to numerous petitions from
the West for radiance of the Chinese and
presented number just received. The Presi-
dent frequently questioned the sneakers. When
they had finished their arguments he stated he
too had received many appeals from people in
the West to sign the bill, and petitions from
the same and Others not to sign it. He was
glad to hear all he could on the subject, and
would carefully consider the arguments.

President with tie impression he would not

THE dMATEURS.
Presentation of petruchio and Katherine

Presentation of Petruchio and Katherine.
The dramatic event of the season occurred at
the Opera House last night. Home talent
drew out a large audience; and home talent
fully compensated the audience for Drawing
the storm. The comedy of .'Petruchio and
Katherine" was presented in all the details,
properties and costume in perfect manner.
The play has become classic, and its 6iction;is
such as to demand artistic defamation nd
high order of elocutiou. With all these attri-
butes to attain in presenting the comedy ac-
ceptably, the st. Paul amateurs essayed it. and
acquitted themselves most acceptably. Indeed
the performance can be claimed to have been
genuine and pleasant surprise. The title
characters, Petruchio and Rather
inc, were assumed BY Lieut..
Edward Mcguire and Miss Breed.
katherine, as presented by Miss Breed, was
naive, her elocution was choice, and at times
her reading was admirable in the nicely of the
thought to be conveyed by the medium of dis
sembling words. She deservedly received much
applause, was called before the curtain. and
was made the recipient of handsome floral
tribute. Lieut.. Maguire's Petruchio was
good. In manner he was at ease, and
coupled with his confidence, clever
conception of the part which he
portrayed with painstaking care. Undoubtedly
Col. Smith made an admirable Grumio. He
entered into the spirit of the character, gave it
with full perception of its prominence, and in
manner and elocution lacking little of being
excellent.
''Woodcock's Little Game" was the afterpiece
sparkling. genteel comedy well adapted to
| amateur talent. Even with this to recommend
| it, the play as presented suffered by COM
| psrison with 'Petruchio and katherine -
Woodcock is the character of the piece, and
| Mr. Spencer, while amusing, failed to compre-
bend or fully appreciate the exteut of his part
| He could have made much more, scarcely less
| of the interesting and lately converted old
| bachelor. Mrs. Col. Carver was given
| with vivacity and impressiveIy by Mrs
Coolidge. The meddlesome and dictatorial
uother-in-law was portrayed with even fright
full reality. Mrs. Granger presented Mrs
| Larkings to the audience in a charming man
| ner. Mrs. Smith made pleasing Mrs Wood
cock. Hers was subordinate part, but one
she cleverly made the most of.
l. The other characters in both plays were
only attendants to those singled cut.
| Taking as whole. last nights
entertainment was decidedly creditable one.
The audience soon forgot its self promised in
| diligence to friends to pass from the cool-tem-
pered stage of satisfaction to surprise, full ap-
probation. and at times fully approached a con-
dition of enthusiasm over the excellent per

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Shortly after 2:45 A.
II. the sergeant-at-arms returned and presented
q report that Senators Davis, Morrill, Dawes
and Anthony reported in person: Blaine prom
lsed Immediate attendance; Conkling would
give no assurance OF atten lance; Mcdonald and
Patterson were at their lodgings sick; Bay ard,
Butler, Hamhn, Barnum and Chandler did not
open their doors: the other messengers had not
reported.
Discussion ensued as to the power of the
Senate to compel attendance of absentees,
Senator Morgan finally moving to make a
special point of the case of Senator Conkline,
by instructing the sergcant-at-arms to be in
structed to bring that Senator into the cham Der.
Senator Eaton thought it was not proper to
single ont a Senator, in which opinion Senator
Harris conceded.
Senator Thurman called attention to the fact
that the Senate had provided no rule for such
emergency, but as the effort to obtain a
quorum had been pushed thus far, it should be
completed.
Senator voorhees, pronounced the proceedings
a contemplate farce. and deprecated longer
confluence.
At 4 oclocl, Senator Kernan moved to dis
pense with further proceedings under the call.
Rejected, yeas Is, nays II.
Pending execution of order, the presence OF
a quorum being disclosed by the last two votes,
the Senate proceeded with the consideration

tagious or infectious diseases into the United
States, and to establish bureau OF public

THE OLD WORLD.
TURKEY. RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

LONDON, Feb. pa correspondent at Vienna
says quite a new spirit has been infused into
Turco-Russian relations. This is specially
noticeable in the transactions relative to the
evacuation of Turkish territory. Both sides
seem to vie in friendiness. Russia's proposals
relative to details were so fair they were al
most mmediately agreed to. The impression
is confirmed that the Russians themselves were
anxious to leave. a dispatch from CONSTANT.
nople says Austria and Turkey continue to
hold most conciliatory language and declare
themselves most anxious to come to a
mutually satisfactory arrangement relative to
a convention, but neither shows any symptoms
of yielding one essential point viz.
Whether or not there is to be an express decia-
ration that the occupation Of Turkish provinces
is merely provisional and temporary.

THE MILLERS' MUSs.

Sensation in the Middlings Purifier Suit
at st. Louis-A Leading Defendant Com
promises and Suit Against Him With
drawn-A Demand for $4,000 Compro-
missed for 5000.
ST. Louis, Feb. 25.-A good deal of a sensa-
ton was produced in the United States circuit
court to-day during the progress of the great
middlings purifier case, by Rodney Mason, at
torney for the plaintiff, announcing that the
suit against E. N. Standard was dismissed. l,
was subsequently stated among the miIlers,
and the statement seems to be
a fact, that Mr.. Standard compromised
the case by paying plaintiff 5000. The suit
against Standard was for $15000O. The action
of Standard right in the front of the battle,
when the evidence in the case WAS all in and
counsel summing up created great indignation
among the millers, who assert the matter was
arranged to influence the court and in favor OF
plaintiff. Standard is one of the largest
millers here, and very prominent citizen.
