Does Being Farmer Unfit Man to
Legislate for Farmers.

National View. Washington, D.C
DO not let us forget that in building
up our party we are building for the
future. In looking to the present as
pect of political questions we should
not forget that rapid change of base
for political action is being wrought.
Hitherto the danger has been from cen
tralization in the North and prelomi-
nance in the South, The danger is still
there, and meanwhile another growing
combination calls for watchfulness
from us, and that is the combinations
in the East against the West. 1t is
there that twenty years hence all great
questions for the public will he decided.
The close of this century will find in
the immense voting power of the Mis-
sissippi valley the arbitration of gov
ernment measures. Long before that
the majority of active population will
lie in that fertile region; i'll questions
in which each section has Il peculiar
interest will he decided there. We, as
Il party, will find there a stronghold,
and as the party of the people must
make ourselves felt as the equalizing
force, for in sectional feeling between
East and West lies as much danger to
our institutions AS in the undue pre-
dominance of North or South. The
East is making ready for this time even
now. She knows that so far as growth
of population and soil production is CON
cerned she is powerless to hold back
her rival. 1t is by monied interest
alone that she can retard and hold in
check the power which threatens to
distribute her wealth as well as her
population. The scheming heads of her
money-makers are not idle, and mort

A Woman,s Presence Of Mind.

ST. John New Brunswick, Globe
As the picnic train was passing over
the bridge, near the Five-mile house, a
middle-aged woman approached it from
the opposite direction. She was walk
ing pretty rapidly, and seemed to be
unaware of the proximity of the train
until n whistle from the engineer
aroused her to a sense of her danger.
She was then but short distance
from the advancing train, and instead
of throwing up her hands in despair
or jumping Off, as many another would
have done, she very deliberately low
cred herself between the sleepirs and
hung on with both hands until The train
had passed on. When all danger was
over she raised up again, and resumed
her journey as if nothing had happened.
Such presence of mind as this is seldom
seen, and II was no wonder thai the
astonished train hands gave the brave
woman cheer as they saw her rising
from the dangerous position.

A WOMAN OF FASHION.

Upon her brazcn cheek the cOlorS high,
Her hair has riskpd the hazard Of the dye
Her heels-but why of such trihc talk?
Her conversations petty as her walk.
She tries to hide bySOmc linguistic wrench,
Her lack Of English meath her lack Of
French.
She wears no stockings Of cerulcan hue,
Blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue;
She has no wish To vote and make things
worse;
She always leaves her children with their
nurse.
In Lent she faStS, she prayS, and hears
long sermons,
Instead Of chattcring French and dancing
Germans:
Indeed, she always worShlps God on Sun
day
On weekdays she bows down to Mrs
GrIlndy.

No Fusion.

Fusion is curse. Let there he no
fusion. A Democrat, "almost per-
suaded,' dislikes to change for fear
that through fusion he will aid the
Republicans, and so with the Green
hacker who has formerly voted the
Republican ticket. Our principles will
live forever, and they are broad enough
to stand on their own bottom. Let
there be no fusion, for it is political
death. Remember this and avoid fusion
as you would poison.

harsh treatment, will not prove obedi-

his wife made much of Maud 5. They
ppttcd her and treated her to apples
and Jumps of sugar. The result is that
she will eagerly respond to their call.
When jogging on the track at Chester

the rail at any time would cause Maud
to turn in that direction. All last Win

An EmDresS' Life.

Madame de Remusat, in her Memoirs
just published, introduces us to the inner
life of Napoleons court. She shows us
Josephine, Napoleon's first wife, as she
was, not as biographers have sketched
her. No girl need be under the illusion
that the Empress life is to be coveted.
Josephine knew little happiness in her
lofty station, for she lived not for its du-
ties, but for its pleasures. The routine
of court life was monotonous and weari-
some, and her personal life was frivolous
and far from being pure. The Memoirs
says:
"She never opened book, she never
took up pen, she worked scarcely
at all. "
Though without literary tastes, she
was extravagantly fond of dress and dis
play. "She rose at nine o'clock. Dress
ing was long process, and a portion OF
1t was devoted to minute personal en-
bellishments, including paint She
changed every article of her attire three
times day, and never wore any but
new stockings. 1t would be impossible
of every kind. In every fashionable
shop of Paris there was always some
thing being made for her. i"
Her charm was her winning manners
and amiable disposition. 'But she could
never conform in her own manner of life
to order or to etiquette" or keep within
the limits of her purse. Her personal
allowance was hundred and twenty
thousand dollars year, but she was per-
petually running in debt, and mourning
sharpe rebukes from the Emperor for
her extravaganza.
Wendell Phillips well remarks in one
of his lectures that ''no man or woman
is truly great for whose private life you
have to make some allowance.

SKIRTS are still drawn as much back
as ever. Very small puffings are over
the hips, and rather larger ones are in
the back, on the lower part of the skirt
and bust All walking-dresses are
short, or just clear the ground. Petit
coats are trimmed with plated founces,
which are not starched even those on
the trains for evening dresses are left
unstiffened.
THE latest novelty fer lawn, garden
and conservatory ornament is the gypsy

painted red, banded with gilded stripes,
and suspended from wooden tripod
seven feet in height, united seven inches
from the top by gilded ball, from
which hangs the bronzed chain that sus-
ponds the pot.
For evening wear, as well as for bon
nets, large flowers are the style. Marsh
mallows in many shades are arranged in
large punches, and placed on different
parts of the skirts and in the hair.
Very large pansies are also used, their
purple and yellow tints corresponding
we'll with the fashionable colors, gold

PANELS at the sides of skirts are now
more often plated than plain. The
plaits are lengthwise side plaits, and
sometimes one large round knot is tied
on these plaits about half way down the
skirt. Shirred panels are also used
STYLISH hats for watering place wear
are of rough straw, with wide brims
faced with shlrred satin, etc. scarf of

Lightning and Trees.

Prof. Colladon. of Geneva, has
made some interesting observations on
the course of lightning when it strikes
trees and houses. He holds that the
great discharges which iniure trees and
houses seldom or never happen while
the lightning has an unobstructed
course-which it has along the thin up
per branches of trees, where birds and
their nests are often left uniniured by its
descent. But it is where the electric
current reaches the thick stem that the
tree becomes n worse and worse con-
ductor, and 1t Is here, therefore, that
the tree is what is called struck. e..
here that the electricity, failing to find
an unobstructed channel TO the earth,
accumulates III masses, and gives out
shocks that rend the tree. And the
same is true of houses whose lightning
conductors stop short of the ground.
Prof. Colladoi, has also shown that
the close neighborhood of pool of water
is n great attraction to the electric
current, and that the electricity often
passes down n house or tree till it is
near enough to dart straight across to
the water; and he thinks that, where
possible, lightning conductors should
end in spring or pool of water. Prof.
Colladon believes that lightning
descends rather in shower-through a
multitude of vines, for instance, in the
same vineyard-than in single main
stream. 1t divides itself among all the
upper branches of tree, and is received
from hundreds of atmospheric points at

Her - COusin.,,

A telegram came to the Wesleyan Fe-
male Seminary at Cincinnati for Miss
Mary Beach, daughter of State Sena-
tor, saying that her father had died sud-
denly of apoplexy. The school officials
gave a ready assent to her speedy de-
parture, and did all they could to soothe
and assist the seemingly grief-stricken
girl. She was joined at the depot by n
young man, whom she introduced as her
cousin. He really was her sweetheart,
and had sent the message according to a
previous understanding with her-not
because her father was dead, for he was
not, but to enable her to get out of the
seminary and elope with him. They
were married before the fraud was dis
covered.

German Peasants.

They are n frugal people, not at all
devoted to the pleasures of the table.
Pies and buildings are unknown among
them. A peasants breakfast generally
consists of dish of boiled, unpeeled po-
tatoes and one of bread soup, which is
simply boiling water poured over thin
slices of bread and favored with onions
fried in butter At 10 o'clock he has
lunch of bread and cider, or wine. At
twelve n dish of vegetables mixed with
flour OF dumplings, and boiled until it is
a kind of thin pudding. All vegetables
are prepared III similar way, as flour is
substitute for meat. Very often din
ner consists of nothing but a mixture of
flour, eggs and milk. 1t is then called
Mehi-speisse" Mush is favorite dish.
Supper is only the repetition Of the
morning meal with the addition of pot
of sour milk to be eaten with the pota-
toes. On Sundays those who can afford
it have coffee and white bread, others
have only milk-soup for breakfast. The
dinner is then cooked with meal, and
supper consists of fried meal with pota-
toes or green salad, according to the
season. The large black loaf is ] lct d
upon the table ut every meal for each to
take slice until it is gone. A we'll
stocked cellar is the peasants pride. 1t
contains long rows of barrels filled with
wine, cidar, and vinegar; huge piles of
potatoes and turnips, and, of course, a
barrel of aurkraut. Upon n shelf fast
ened in beams overhead are from fifteen
TO twenty loaves of black bread, two feet
long and half as wide and thick, with
one or two white loaves for Sunday
use.

Matured women for wives.

be grateful to her destiny that her SYM
pathies and affections have been reserved
