HOW a Dakota Judge Keeps Order

[Yankton Press and Dakotian
Mr.. Webster's attorney (rising and address
ing the attorney for the other side)-'I call
you coward and liar"
The court-''Sit down, SIR
Mr.. Websters attorney-'He is coward
and liar"
The court-"If you don't sit down and
keep quiet you will be sorry"
Mr.. Webster's attorney. "lle IS
In the subsequent proceedings the court
took hand. 1t swiftly gided from its seat
and placed its powerful grasp upon the coat
collar of the attorney for Mr.. Webster: there
was momentary void in the understanding g
of that gentleman. The morning stars be,
gan to sing together in in his ears and danced
before his confused vision. The he found
himself outside the building without any bat
and the dusty zephers playing through his
luxurious mustache. Parties present in the
room as innocent spectators aver that the
feet of the attorney for Mr. Webster did not
touch the floor after the muscles of the hand
of the court had contracted upon his collar.

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.
Their Candidate for Governor and Their
Platform.

The Republicans of Kentucky met in State
Convention at Louisville the 10th of April,
the attendance being large and the assemblage
one of the most enthusiastic that has assem-
bled in the State. Fourteen hundred and
seventy-one votes were cast for Governor,
divided in nearly equal proportion between
Hon. Walter Evans and Gen. E. H. Murray,
the former receiving majority of AZ, and
was declared the nominee of the convention.
Resolutions were enthusiastically adopted
commencing the war and peace record of the
Republican party, its valiant deeds, it's un-
paralleled generosity to the conquered foe,
its emancipation OF slaves, and determined
purpose to pay the National debt, the skill
and prudence in finances, etc. They Call for
universal education, condemn the gross mis-
management of the State by the Democrats,
who have defrauded the youth by practically
abandoning the public schools; who have
encouraged spirit of rebellion and promoted
disregard of law and order and brought Ken
lucky into contempt among sister States.
They demand such change in the conduct
of State affairs as will arrest the exodus of
citizens and bring in immigrants. They

ternal improvements. They congratulate the
country on refunding the public debt so ad-
vantageously, condemn the lawless attempt
on the pat of the Democratic Congress to
coerce the President to subserve its views by
threat of Withholding appropriations. Such
purpose is as revolutionary in spirit as that
of 1861, and the President should resist it by
every means in his power, as duty he owes
to the defenceless voters of the South, and to
those who desire pure ballot elsewhere.
We have seen with pride and pleasure, the
distinguished honors paid to ex-President
Grant by all classes in Europe. His services
in war and patriotism and ability in the dis
charge of the high civil duties to which the
confidence of his countrymen repeatedly
called him; his wisdom and prudence,
moderation and integrity of character entitle
him to this striking and remarkable exhibi-
ton of courtesy and respect abroad, and to
the lasting gratitude of his own people. HIS
name and fame are inseparably linked with
the most important events in our country's
history. 1t is our pleasure to thus declare
our admiration and esteem for him, our
gratitude to and our confidence in him.

The bridesmaids of the Princess Louise
Margaret had to pay somewhat dearly for
the honor of appearing in this capacity.
These young ladies were Informed that in or
der to insure uniformity their dresses musl
be made for them by a modiste who charged
them fifty guineas each, and that they were
to be coiffeed by one artist. In addition to
this they were each required to give check
of fifty guineas to bny present for Her Royal
Highness. Lady Charlotte Bury long ago
observed that ''princes gave shabby presents. F"

Aboard Of Three Equally Divided.

During the rebellion the Law School at
Cambridge was presided over by three Profs.
Parsons, Parker and Washburn. They were
divided in their political views, and each dio
his best to maintain his opinion. Prof. Par
ker was one day asked: ''How do you get
along on politics at the Law School ?"
"Nicely.' he answered; 1--WE are equally d.
vided.' s'But how can that be, continued
the enquirer; ''there are three of you?'
'.Easy enough" replied the Professor; ''Par-
sons writes on one side and on the other.
and Wasbburn-he speaks on one side and
votes on the other. ."-Bostoaa Transcript.

Floors and Carpets.

There is a strong protest offered, in differ
ent ways and from various sources, against
our long established practice of making poor
floors, with the design of keeping them cov-
cred with carpets stretched and fitted to every
part and carefully tackled down. Carpets in
daily use can not be kept clean except by very
frequent shaking and beating, and they do
much toward corrupting the air by retaining
impure gasses, hiding the finest and most
penetrating dust in their meshes and under
meath them, and by giving off particles of fine
wool into the atmosphere, with other dust,
as they are swept or walked upon. There is
a demand for better floors, not necessarily
inlaid or mosaics, of different. kinds of prec-
ious wood, but made double of strong sea-
soned wood, that will not shrink or warp
(spruce, however well seasoned, is almost
sure to warp), and then carefully finished so
as to be durable and easily cleaned. Carpeted
floors seem relief to the housekeeper, when
once the carpets are procured and fitted to
the rooms and tackled down, because they do
not show the dirt as the bare floors do. But
oh! when they do get full of dust And
when house-cleaning time comes and they
must be taken up and shaken and whipped as
they we'll deserve! With warmly-m made floors
and large warm rugs, couldn't we do without
these denominations even in winter. Certainly
our rooms would be cooler and sweeter with
out them in summer. But in that case we
must take more pains with our floors, and we
must have something better than the common
unpainted ones.-Amersc0n AgrSculturist.
