THE HOUSE.

Beyond little debate on couple of sub
jects-the appointment of clerk to the
committees on enrolment and engrossment
and the printing of the governors message
in half dozen languages-there was little
of interest in the House proceedings yester-
day. On the latter subject the debate last
ed nearly an hour. First an amendment to
print in Bohemian was defeated; then James
Smith, Jr, instituted a comparison between
what State papers are and what they should
be, and declared that the time ought to come
when the practice of printing documents
which were but rehash of the reports of
State officers should be abandoned. Then
Mr.. w. M. Campbell suggested that perhaps
this might be as good time as any in which
to establish whatever precedent ought to be
established. DR.. Riley, of Houston, felt i'm
PEELED to make his maiden speech of the ses-
sion. 1t was not elaborate, but short, sharp
and decisive. He protested emphatically
against squandering the money of the State
in any such way, especially as everybody
who wanted to read the message had already
done SO. He appealed to the members to
vote against the measure, and stop the use

siderable further talk the provision for print
ing the message in English was stricken out,
and the whole resolution voted down by the
decisive vote Of 26 ayes to 50 noes. The
GLOBE considers itself indorsed.
The only other feature of interest was the
introduction by Mr.. Hicks of bill to drive
another nail into the coffin of Minneapolis
bill authorizing the issue of $25O,0O0 in
bonds to aid in the construction of the Min

road-which had it's first reading The bill

A large number of private and local bills
we're introduced, but none of them we're of

English and American Farming Con.
London Economist.

In England one acre yields on an av.
erage thirty bushels of wheat, while in
America it yields on an average only thir
teen. The American farmer must, con-
sequently, cultivate two and half acres
in order to produce the same quantity of
wheat as the English farmer raises on an
acre.
How is it, then, that the American far
mer can, nevertheless, not only compete
with the English farmer, but even beat
him in his own market' The answer
which first presents itself to this question
is the enormous difference of rent in Eng
land and America, but this difference is
nearly, if not altogether, obIiterated by
the cost of transportation from the West.

Correspondence Gin. Enquirer,
went over the Wilderness route in
sight almost all the way Of the leading
roads on which Lees army had moved
out from behind the Rapidan to strike
Grant in the line of march for Richmond.
AT that time no railroad existed through
the Wilderness. A narrowgauge rail
road of very rough quality, about thirty
nine miles long, now reaches the whole
distance from Orange to Fredericksburg,
passing within sight Of Charlottesville,

between both hers, and looked as if she
greatly wanted comfort indeed.
The general, soon after this, rose to go
to bed. 1t was earlier than his usual
hour, for he was quite worn out with
what he had suffered.
So he left the two ladies sitting over
the fire, and then Mrs. Melwyn at last
opened her heart, and disclosed to her
friend the dismal tidings, the cause of
her present misery, and related in detail
the dreadful occurrence of RandalPs res
ignation.
1t was time, Lettice thought, to speak
out, and she determined to venture upon
it. She had long anxiously desired to
emancipate the woman she loved with
all the intensity of child, from the fear
full yoke under which she suffered; to
dissolve the pernicious enchantment
which surrounded her. She spoke, and
she did so with so much gentleness, reason,
firmness, good nature, that Mrs. Melwyn
yielded to the blessed influence. In
short, it was that night determined that
RandalPs resignation, so far as Mrs. Mel
wyn was concerned, should be accepted.
If that potentate chose to communicate
her resolution herself to the general, it
was we'll, and he must decide; otherwise
Lettice would take upon herself to do
this, and unless he opposed the measure,
Randall should go.
With little difficulty Lettice persuaded
Mrs. Melwyn not to ring for Randall that
night, saying, that now she had resigned
her position, her mistress had better
allow herself to be put to bed by her
friend. This was not a difficult task.
That she should not meet Randall again
was what Mrs. Melwyn in her terror
as much desired as Lettice did in her
prudence. In short, the general, under
the influence of Lettice's representations
she was beginning to gain great infu-
ence with him--consented to part with
the maid; and Lcttice had the incon-
! ceivable satisfaction of herself carrying
to that parsonage her wages, and hand
some gratuity, and seeing her that very
morning quit the house, which was done
with abundance of tears, and bitter
lamentations over the ingratitude of
mankind.
How the house felt after she was gone,
those who have been visited with a
domestic plague of this nature will un-
derstand. To those who have not, 50
great a result from so apparently insig-
nlfcant cause would be utterly unim-
aginab}e.
"And so they lived very happy ever
afterwards" "
Well, don't stare; they really did.

Those Useful Comduits.

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertain-
able causes. When this occurs, their dis
charging function is Of necessity very i'm
properly performed, and certain debris,
which is the result of natural bodily waste,
and decay, does not escape as it should, but
remains to corrupt the blood and develop
poisonous humors and dangerous as well as
painful diseases. 1t is one of the beneficial
effects Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
gently stimulate the urinary organs, and
prevent them from lapsing into u state OF
inactivity, always provocative OF their in
hanlmatory degeneration and decay. How
much better then is it to adopt this mild
diuretic as means of melting them to ac-
ton, than to incur the danger Of this de-
struction. To expel from the system waste
matter through the bowels and kidneys,
and to regulate and arouse the stomach
and liver, are among the chief uses of this
valuable remedy.

A Fire That EEaS Burned Three
Months.


We learn that the fire in the Dismal
Swamp is still raging with unabated fury,
1t extends from the neighborhood Of
Suffolk to eight or ten miles below the
North Carolina line. 1t is, of course,
burning in detached spots, but an i'm
mense area is being devastated. A good
deal of lumber, cord wood and railroad
timber have been destroyed, amounting
to three or four thousand dollars in value,
but the greatest damage is in the destruc-
ton of the growing timber and the actual
burning up of the soil, which might be
reclaimed for agricultural purposes. We
learn from a gentleman living in North
Carolina that the fire commenced in
Perquimans Co. on the 22d of May and
has been burning ever since.

Look After the Girls
room.



An alarming custom which seems 10 be
growing among our girls is the practice of
walking the streets during the evening,
We believe in walking, and think young
people require plenty of fresh air and ex-
ercise; but surely an hours brisk walking
at sunset will effect this object,
Modest girls should not be seen on the
streets, unless necessity compels it, after
sark We hope and believe that this
farming custom in the majority of cases
iorks no serious result and yet requires
lieve even this, and no great degree Of
resght to predict the mischief that in
cry many cases must come Of it.
Girls arc too often inclined to get up dit
tie flirtations" with the gentlemen they
meet Sometimes it is no more than an
interchange of gancos, cough, wave
OF the handkerchief, but these little de.
parturcs from maidenly modesty lead to
greater and more dangerous ventures and
we shudder to think of the abyss on
which they unwittingly stand. What
kind Of parents can they be who let their
daughters thus expose themselves TO the
greatest of all dangers' Parents are
bound to watch over their children. Per
haps the mother thinks that girls will be
girls that she had her firtaitons in her
day, and no harm came of it, and her girls
will have time enough TO settle down
when they are married and off her hands.
So they will, poor things; but what
chance Of happy married life has girl
brought up or allowed to grow up in this
way, moi only with no domestic training,
but with no sense Of womanly dignity
and responsibility Once in a while there
comes dreadful reckoning to one OF
these silly mothers, the discovery of an
awful shame that casts a perpetual shadow
on the household. The daughter, perhaps,
is turned adrift upon the world, to suffer
alone the inevitable penalty Of the fault
that was more her parents than her own
We have not exaggerated the magnitude
of evil; we are sure that we do not exag.
:erate its danger. Mothers, take care ol

Boys and Their Mothers.
re. R. Talbot in Wide Awake.l


am sure you would have liked the
two things that he did next-things
which he was accustomed to do every
morning of his life.
First, he went to the bureau and took
up picture that stood there upon an
easel-frame-the portrait of his mother.
Good morning, my dear mother" he
said, gaily and kissed the picture several
times, tenderly and reverently, just as a
few years later, he might do that of some
other woman whom he hoped to make
his wife. Indeed, Royal Lowrie was very
much in love with his beautiful mother,
i'm love with her as like to see a boy in
love with his mother,--so that no woman
was farer, or dearer, or more worthy of
knightly service than she.
o, my dear boys,-lor it is you espe-
cially for whom am writing this story
no matter how big you get or how busy
YOU become, or how manly you fancy
YOU are growing, don't ever get too big,
or too busy, or too manly to be in love
with your mother. She who loves YOU
as no other woman ever can; she who
would gladly die a thousand deaths for
vou-O never as long as you live, turn
her out of the first place in your heart.
Never so long as YOU live let there be a
time when, in the slightest attention
even,-the quick offer of an arm or the
STOPPING to save step,-you will prefer
another to her.
And then, when you have hurried
home again, and, standing once more by
the hearth that can never again be as it
once had been, you begin TO realize as
YOU cannot at first, how very different
everything is, and how empty and desc
late home and the world and life itself is,
with that presence that has made it all
so beautiful gone out of it forever; when
you stand later still, beside that sacred
mound in the churchyard, and weep such
hot tears as boys and men do weep over
their mothers graves, then it is that every
little care and thoughtfulness and atten-
ton that YOU have paid her, and all the
eager sacrifices you have made for her
sake, will come back to you like minister
ing spirits, and bring you comfort and a
consolation that you cannot now under
stand Just as the remembrance of every
sorrow you have caused her will be very
bitter.
And if these words / am saving will
only make you think of this now, and if
the thought shall make you in any way
more careful and consderate and affect
ionate now, to the mother whom | am
sure you love very much, shall be glad
| indeed that have said them; and some
times you will be glad, too, however dull
and prosy you may think them now.
And as for your mothers picture, boys
0or want TO say a word about that, too,)
never 90 away from her without it. Keep
it by you always; not in your trunk or
drawer, but on your bureau, or wall shelf,
where YOU can see it constantly, and
where it can see you. You will lead
truer lives for it, believe me. For it is
in the privacy of our own chambers, per.
APPS, that we think our meanest thoughts
..riu do our meanest acts; and you will

with those eyes following you about the

been playing at hide and seek
with our troops, and if he has really
retired again to Manitoba it is merely in
accordance with his autumnal custom.
There he will sit just beyond the border,
gazing, Sphinx-like, over into Montana
until spring arrives, when he will once
more skip down after the bounding buf-
falo. The same scenes will be enacted;
the troops will follow on his trail at
safe distance until the buffalo go south
again, when Sitting Bull will seek Cana
dian soil, and the Indian war be once
more declared at an end. Yet we ought
not complain, as these Indian expedi-
tions furnish an inexhaustible source for
news, and very few people are killed.

WHY should not Cincinnati, among
her other attractions, establish ''sea bath
ing in the Ohio River? The long, clean
beaches of sand that line the river shore
on the south side of the Ohio, opposite
Fulton, and fronting Bellevue and Day
ton, KY, would, with suitable accommo-
dations in the way of bathing houses,
afford the most delightful of bathing,
The long shallow beach would be safe,
the clean sand would be pleasant to walk
over from the street cars, and the Dayton
steam ferry, now in active operation,
would afford easy access to the place, and
the Ohio would offer the most refreshing
waters to the bather to be found any
where this side of the ocean. Place,
gentlemen, for the bathers of the Paris
of the United States.
