Out.Of-DOOr Games.

ONE of the most significant signs of a
change in our social habits is the an
nouncements which meet us at every
turn of archery contests, croquet
matches and lawn tennis tournaments.
No summering place in the North is held
to be furnished this year unless it has
tennis court and field for archery. In
the South the usual tournaments have
been held, but in these the exercise is
confined to men. The ladies watch the
gallant knights on fiery steeds dash
mainly at ring with long stick, and
their only part in the pastime is to smile
and look pretty, and crown the victor
afterward, according to the old-fash-
Toned role of women, which may be pic
turesque and romantic and emotional,
but which, assuredly does not strengthen
their legs, lungs or stomachs. Tennis,
croquet and archery are games for
women as for men, and they will do
much, we prophesy, to give us a race of
healthier women as wives and mothers
for the next generation.
A long step has been taken by mod
ern women in proper, physical develop
ment. Increasing familiarity with the
models of beauty in sculpture and paint
ing has done away with tight lacing; an
educated woman to whom the figure of
the Medicean Venus or Diana of the
Louvre is familiar as her own would be
ashamed to appear with the distorted,
wasp-ike waist of which her mother
was so vain. City mothers know enough
OF hygiene and physiology, too, TO teach
their girls gymnastics, rowing, riding,
skating, as well as dancing. Perhaps
the most perfect examples of physical
health in the country are to be found
among the children of the higher classes
in this city, Philadelphia and Boston,
to whose bodily development knowledge
and wealth have done all that is posi-.
BILE. Outdoor games are among the
most efficient aids in this physical edu-
cation. Presently our women will be
able to ride and walk with as much en-
ergy and good results to their health as
their English cousins.-New York Tri-

The Sad Sequel to an EIOpement.

A SPECIAL from Kingston, N. Y,
to the st. Louis Republican, says:
The suicide of Carrie Barton, near Rock
Village, this county, on Friday, is the
sequel to a romantic though melancholy
history. She was the daughter of Capt.
Jas. Barton, at one time leading bust
ness man of New Orleans. During the
late war Capt Barton served with dis
tinction in the Confederate army. At
the close of the war he removed to La
fayette County, Mo. Carrie grew up to
be an intelligent and refined young
woman. Among her admirers was
Charles Thornton, a worthy young man,
whose father was highly respected and
wealthy. The young couple became
ardently attached to each other, but
Carries parents were adverse to his at
tentions, being DESTROYS that their
daughter should wed sutton of their
own selection. Carrie was determined
to marry Thornton or remain single.
An elopement and secret marriage was
agreed upon. Two months ago thew
left their parental roofs, deciding to
come to New York, where Carrie had
relatives. At st. Louis they were mar
ried and then continued their Journey
East. For about six weeks the young
couple stopped at the residence of Mr..
Z. d. Griswold, an uncle of the bride.
About week ago Thornton's money
gave out and both husband and wife
were afraid to communicate with their
parents for fear of storm of parental
indignation. Young Thornton brooded
over his troubles, and on Tuesday last
left his wife, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard of him. On Fri.
day the young bride took a dose of
strychnine and in less than an hour was
a corpse. Her remains have been for
warded to the home of her parents.

The new colony of the Cumberland
plateau in Tennessee, in which Thomas
Hughes is interested with company of
English and American philanthropists,
has been named appropriately Rugby.
The road to the town will be finished
soon, and formal opening is to take
place. A lawnfennis court has already
been established.
THE art of dressing in the common
est materials, and yet looking superior
to other women, is studied by fashiona-
BILE Parisians. Fourteen ladies recently
entered into competition, and the prize
was awarded to a dress made of that
coarse sacking used for packing pur-
poses, trimmed somewhat incongru-
ously with Valenciennes lace and floral
embroidery on a gold ground, parasol
and shoes to match. The experiment,
however, was decidedly expensive, for
though the dress itself cost a mere
nothing, the lace was worth $500, the
handle of the parasol cost $12O and the
embroidery $3.50, not to speak of the
shoes.
MR.. GEO. w. MORRIS, Che conductor
on the Indianapolis and st. Louis road,
who met with horrible death the other
day, was conversing with a newspaper
man short time since and remarked
he had travelled over $4,000 miles since
entering the service of the Indianapolis
and st. Louis, and had been in several
accidents, but had never yet been in
jured. As the engine whistled for the
next station, Mr.. Morris arose, and re-
marked thoughtfully: "In our business
1t comes sooner or later to us all, and
can't say how soon l may be victim. -
He told the truth. 1t seems but ques-
lion of time with train men. cit comes
sooner or later to all"
ONCE more it was supposed not to be
loaded. A son of Mr.. Wells, of River
head, on Long Island, fifteen years old,
pointed pistol at his brother, who was
two years his senior, and pulled the
trigger, "as he had often done before. -
He pulled it once too often, the charge
with which the pistol really was loaded
exploded, and the elder boy fell dead.
1t is reported that the weapon had been
familiar plaything about the house,
because emo one suspected that it was
loaded" That the mere absence of sus-
picion sufficed and that nobody took
pains to be certain that it Was not loaded
would seem to be Incredible folly, were
not such cases common.
A PLAINLY dressed little lady from
San Francisco recently appeared at a
California watering place and was snub-
bed by all the ladies. She sent home
for her best dresses and all her dia-
monds. After her trunks arrived she
went to breakfast in a magnificent
morning dress made by Worth, and pro-
fusely ornamented with diamonds, and
her two little children were dressed in
the height of fashion. Every body
seemed anxious to make amends for
past sights, but she was extremely dis
tant to one and all. She cut them in
this way for week, then packed up her
nine Saratoga trunks and sent them
home, and resumed her plain and COM

The termination Of Unripe Seeds.

MANY instances have been put on
record by different observers of unripe
seed terminating, and several botanists
have conducted extensive series of ex
periments in raising plants from seeds
in different stages of development. At
first sight it seems rather surprising
that an imperfectly-formed embryo
should grow into as vigorous plant as
a mature one. but when we understand
the general plan of growth in plants the
phenomenon is ineligible. Thus,
ferns actually develop from a single
detached cell. This property of pre-
mature termination may be taken adj
vantage of in practice in propagating
plants that do not fully ripen their seeds
in our climate. A rather longer period
clapses before unripe seeds actually
terminate, but frequently the progeny
is equal to the best from mature seed
Formerly it was supposed that only
ex-albuminous seeds would ger
inmate when unripe, but M. Sagot
a Frenchman, succeeded in germinat
ing green grain of wheat in which the
albumen was soft, semi-liquid, ana
milky, and several other eXperimenterS
have raised different cereals from gram
collected a fortnight to three weeks be-
fore the crops from which it was taken
were ripe. Although the practice, Oh
sowing unripe seeds is not likely to Pc
come general, and would not be prom.
able under ordinary circumstances IL
might be useful to know, in the case o.
a rare plant suddenly dying before us
seeds were mature, that there was =
possibility of their terminating, anu

IN THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE
NIGHT.

Lo, IN the moonless night,
In the rough winds despite,
They ply the car.
Keen gusts smite in their teeth;
The hoarSe winds chafe beneath
With muffled roar.
Numb fingers, failing force,
Scarce serve to hold the course
Hard-won halfway,
When DER the tossing tide,
Pallid and heavy-eyed,
Scowls the dim day.
And now in the wan light,
Walking the waters white,
A shape draws near.
Each soul, in troubled wise,
Staring with starting eyes,
Cries out for fear.
Each grasps his neighbor tight,
In helpless huddled fright
Shaken and swayed.
And 10! the Master nigh
Speaks softly, " 1t is l.;
Be not afraid"
Fen so to us, that strain
Over lifes moaning main,
Thou drawest near,
And, knowing not Thy guise,
We gaze with troubled eyes,
And cry for fear.
A strange voice whispers low:
"This joy must thou forego,
Thy first and best"
A shrouded phantom stands
Crossing the bestowed hands
For church-yard rest.
Then, soft as in the fall
Of that white cleaning pail
BY snowtlakes made,
Shilling each startled cry,
Thou speakest. 1t is L;
Be not afraid"
Good Words.

nal speaks of the Freshman declaimers
as follows: "The Committee to award
the prizes were Prof. J. B. Parkinson,
Prof. Birge, Prof. Samuel Shaw.
" All the contestants did exceedingly

to say that the present Freshman class
has more good declaimers than have
been at the University for many years.
There was good audience in attend
ance, and the closest attention was
paid to each speaker. The contest was
between Van Vie, Kelley and Welles.
After some consultation, the judges
awarded the prize $500 to C. d. Van
Vie (of Kenosha.) The applause that
followed the announcement showed

INDIANA.

The Supreme Court of the state of
Indiana having decided that the con-
stitutional amendment changing the
state election from October to Novem-
Der was not legally carried, Indiana
remains an October state, and, as a
matter of course, will be the center of
interest during the fall campaign. 1t
probably will go Democratic in Octo-
Der, and that is the reason for the SUI
preme Courts decision. At least, it
looks very much that way. The de-
cision is evidently to the advantage of
the Democrats, unless the just indig-
nation of the people causes the DEM
Ocracy to be "hOist with it's own
petard." In any event the state is
good for heavy majority for Garfield
in November. The day of machine
work in politics is thing Of the past
with Republicans, but the Democrats
have few lessons yet to learn. They
may as we'll take one in Indiana this
fall. and they will get it.

"Good behavior, no smoking, no gam

WHERE THE PARTIES STAND.

WHERE THE PARTIES STAND.
Frequent reference has been made
in our columns to the fundamental
principles of the Republican party. 1t
is our purpose in this article to state
these principles as concisely as posi-
BILE, and then call attention to the at
titude of the so-called Democracy
toward them.
First. "The Constitution of the
United States and all laws which shall
be made in pursuance thereof shall be
the supreme laws of the land
Second. "The Government of the
Uuited States is under the most sacred
obligation to protect every citizen in
the free exercise of his legal rights
xrthnrnuar he NAV be"
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-06-25

publican party claims, "That while
states are really sovereign as to all
matters which have not been granted
to the jurisdiction and control of the
United States, the Constitution and
constitutional laws OF the latter when
they conflict with state laws are OF
paramount authority and obligation
that the government Of the United
States is in duty bound to enforce
these laws peaceably if it can, but
with gunpowder and steel if the ext
gencies of the case so require, and
that, too, in all parts Of the national
domain, at all times and under every
conceivable condition; that the SUI
preme Court Of the United States is
the judge and the only Judge of the
constitutiCnality of United States
laws; that any interference by local
authority is unWarranted and subver-
siye of good government.
With reference to the second princi.
plethe Republican party claims That
all men are free and equal, and may
freely express their views upon any
matter at any time and in any place,
and they shall not be molested nor
their privileges impaired because they
exercise this right; that suppression
and oppression, whether found upon
the plantations Of Louisiana, in the
workshops of New England, in politi-
cal conventions or at the polls shall
cease; in short. that the battle must
go on until the victory which was
gained in the late war, and which has
proved to be but half victory, is
complete.
To these principles and claims the
Democratic party virtually dissents.
While tacitly recognizing the suprem-
acy of the national government, it
looks upon it as nothing more than
league, a compact, an alliance; and
strives to render it poWerless by re-
strictions upon the use of it's arms,
by Withholding necessary appropria-
tions, and by placing upon appropria-
ton bills riders of so obnoxious
character that their veto by the presi
dent is foregone conclusion.
The Democratic party holds that the
general government has no right to
offer shelter and security to the citiz-
ems of a state where law is oyerthroWn,
justice dead, and terrorism rampant,
unless called upon by state authority,
and then to be subservient to it.
The Democratic party, regarding
the power of the United States as
more than supplementary to
that of the state, would, if possible,
drive the nation back to its original
status under the confederacy.
Noon and midnight are not farther
apart than are the two great political
parties on these most vital issues.
The question is not upon finance, not
upon tariff, not who shall share the
spoils; but it is the old battle over
again between those who would build
up and those who would tear down;
those who regard the Union as a thing
worth giving their life and property to
save and those who seem to look upon
it as merciless foreign power; those
who love the old flag, the whole of it,
and those who bow down before and
worship some particular star.
1t is the old battle over again, and it
does not require much prescience to
tell what the result will be.
