mans manner. DO you wish to see
me for anything importantly
Well, said the stranger, coolly,
that's according to what light you
view it in. / have several small bills
against the late Mr.. Johnson, your
wifes former husband.
Against Mr.. Johnson! exclaimed
Mrs. Carter, increduously. You
must be mistaken; Mr.. johnson left
no bills unpaid at the time of his
DEATH
'P'r'aps you think So said the man
mysteriously, but you're wrong, Mr..
Johnson was an uncommonly sly
fox, and lrecon you didn't know all
of his affairs
What do you mean?', asked Mrs.
Carter, looking as if she was about to
burst into tears.
This bill" said the man slowly,
disregarding the interruption, SIS ci-
gars, brandy, ETC., furnished to the
deceased.
Mr.. Johnson never smoked or
drank, said the rclict of the late la
mented, firmly.
Ten pounds, continued the relent-
less stranger. This is for carriage
hire for self and friends during the
two months prior to his decease
Twenty-Five pounds; this is for din
ner given by Mr.. johnson to a party
Of his friends.
Mrs. Carrier looked aghast during
this revealation, while Paul stared
helplessly at the.man as he continued
to draw forth bill after bill.
Good gracious! he exclaimed, as
the thirteenth bill was laid on the Ia
BILE before him. You surely don't ex-
pect me to pay all thisr
We'll, ! rather thought said the
man, that you would prefer to pay
these bills and avid exposure.
But | won't, said Paul, excitedly.

spendthrift.'

was gone, what do you think of that

Marys answer was torrent Of

Her ridol had been shattered to atoms

'Hello3 said Maurice, opening his
eyes. Married life unhappy? Now
come to notice it, you look rather
pale. Jealous of any one?'
Nonsense! said Paul, impatiently.
Nothing of the kind. My wife is
the sweetest little woman you ever set
eyes on, and never gives me the least
cause forjealousy.'
Violent tcmper?' ilinted Carroll.
Not at all, said Paul smiling.
You don't know her; she is never an
cry
Then what is the matter?' deman-
ded Maurice, for something is. Don t

comes in and sighs when he is asked
about his wife, something's up. Come,

Paul, though rather humdrum. I

voutedly while he lived, but now she
idolizes him and reyerences his mem
ory and all that sort Of thing
An? | see, said Maurice, nodding
sagely. Shes always throwing her

'Y-e-e-s, said Paul, slowly, that's

from. Not in an angry manner,
mind; but in mildly reproachful
tone that is immensely aggravating.

Yes; | suppose it does become mo-
notonous after while, said Maurice,
commiseratingly.
But was tie late lamented John
son such model Of propliety as she
represents?'
1T seems So said Paul, dlsmally,
and that S the worst of it. As far as
i can find out, he never'did anything
wrong from the day of his birth to
the day Of his death. If | could find
out any offence that he had committed,
| might hush her up, but | cant; he
never even thought anything wicked.

What is the matter now, Paul?
asked Carroll, anxiovsly, as his friend
strolled into his room, with a very
downcast visage.
In reply Paul told him about
Johnsons profdity.
How does Mrs. Carter take it?
asked Maurice.
Very hard, said Paul gloomily. 4
don't think I'll hear much in the
praise of the late husband hereafter

laughing.
'Its a great relief said Paul but

you of that anxiety. Behold the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

April "a, 1880.
The elections for delegates to the Ma
tionsl Convention this week may be call
ed drawn game. The Grant men after
long struggle controlled the Virginia
Convention, but there are some Blaine
and Sherman men on the delegation.
The Blaine men prevailed in the Georgia
Convention, but there are q few Grant
and Sherman men in the delegation. Ore
gon is solid for Blaine, and his friends
claim every northern state except ILL
nois, now to elect, will be the same sort,
and that Illinois will be about equally
divided between Blaine and Grant.
The contest is now narrowing down
very closely, and If Mr.. Blaine should
carry q part of both the Illinois and Obi
delegations, as his friends now confident
ly expect, things would assume lively
aspect.
The Senate having disposed for a time
of the Geneva Award bill, thinks it can
afford to wait for the slow motions of tn e
House, and has adjourned over for sew
eral days. The House is still slow and
inefficient as legislative body, surpass-
ing all its predecessors in that line.
Coud the folly Of entrusting Democrats
with power be more clearly shawn than
in the career of this Congressg The mid
die of May or perhaps the first of June
will arrive before the more important
bills are under way. The Democrats are
very much troubled at the healthy con
ditiOn of the Tilden boom, and efforts to
help along Hancock and other candidates
do not seem to discourage the Tildenites
| n bit. Nevertheless it is probably fair
to say that Tilden cannot be nominated
although he may get the most delegates,
for the reason that he cannot get two
thirds, which are required to nominate
in the Democratic Convention.
Senator Hill once more got up his bill
to unseat senator Kellogg and had it dis
cussed. But it is SO apparent that some

The state convention held in Columbus
last week excited greater interest both
among the politicians and people than
any previous one for many years. There
was substantial unanimity among the
delegates in the desire to honor Secretary
Sherman with their support in his candi-
dacy for President, partly no doubt on
account of their admiration of his ability
snd integrity, and partly on account Of
feeling of state pride. For these rea-
sons he had the support of many who
would otherwise have favored Mr.. Blaine,
and who, in the event of Mr.. Sherman's
not being able to secure a successful fol-
lowing, will finally 60 over to him. Not
withstanding the threatening outlook,
the utmost harmony prevailed in the con-
vention and all the indications point to
q successful campaign.

Care of Clothing.

Neglect and carelessness deteriorate
clothing q great deal faster than steady
wear does. The woman who comes from
church CT visiting in her nice dress and
keeps it ON through cooking, dish-wash-
ing, and sweeping, will soon rob it Of all
its Gicety, while she who wears her fine
clothes only in places where they are
suitable will keep them in good condition
an indefinite time. To dress according
to ones work il good taste, good sense
and economy. The careful person will
take pains to preserve new calico no
less than new silk.
The care of clothing to be easy must
be habitual, and the habit cannot be
formed too early in life. Children may
lie INDUCED in playing in the dirt, pro-
vided they ere dressed for it. But it is
"poor-folksy" in the last degree to allow
q child to play in the dirt with nice
clothes on, or to permit young person
to dress inapprcpriately while at work
1t is vastly easier to change good coat
for q poor one than IL is 10 restor0t to
good condition a soiied coat. 1t is vast
ly easier to put on a pair of overalls than
it Is to epopge thoroughly a pair of pant
aloons. But the worst Of it Is, that
those who neglect to change the coat and
to put ON the overalls neglect also the
sponging and cleaning processes, and let
dust gather and spots remain. A clothes
brush, whisk-broom, q bottle Of am
monia, q sponge, ahaDd brush, cake OF
erasive soap, vial of alcohol, should
form part of the furnishings Of every
toilet. A strip Of old black broadcloth
four or five inches wide rolled up tightly
and sewed to keep the roll in place is
better than either sponge or cloth for
cleansing black and dark clothing.
Whatever lint comes from it is black and

KANSAS LETTER.

GREAT BEND, BARTON Co., Apr Goth.
Now is the winter CT our discomfort.
To be or not to be. that is the question.
The outlook is foreboding and the peo-
pie are nervous, unsettled, and murmur
one with another, and still the avidity of
the circumambient atmosphere continues
to heat, parch and bake the earth, which
criee aloud for water. We can't tell but
what severy moment will be our. next {"
This is solemn spectacle and begins to
look panicy." The question is, whether
1t is better to migrate to New Mexico,
Colorado, or Salt Lake city, or any other
country with q boom to it, or go to the
mountains and hunt for gold, or skip out
for our wife's people back east. or sit
around the Bend and curse the climate
The great Arkansas valley is ON the
lift. Men sit around and wonder when
it will rain. They give each other the
blues, foreshadowing the direful conse-
Quences that await us in the near future
Farmers come to town to learn when it
is going to rain; then go home and set FIRE
to the prsiries to bring moisture. Peo-
pie use wicked oaths when they think of
the drouth; then they will 60 to Rome
(s saloon), irrigate their paeced skeletons
and for the moment are millionaires.
The immigration that is coming to this
state, Colorado, and New Mexico, cannot
be imagined. Every passenger train is
loaded down and every freight train
brings in dozens OF dead beats and
tramps, bound to Kansas, Colorado or
anywhere else. Wagon trains with 30 or
80 together are of every day occurrence.
If you wish to do anything for Jour coun-
try stop people from coming here or Col
orado. The prospects are just now that
there will moi be one bushel of wheat in
western Kansas. One Of the creates,
droutbs is now parching up this country
that ever was known by its eldest set
tlers. We have not had one drop OF
rain since last November, and only II
inches of rainfall in the last year. Tbs
Arkansas river. here nearly one-half mile
wide, is as dry as the great Sahsra desert
The hot winds are dreadful, crispins
up the grass like frost; yet we are
trusting in that Being who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb. A light hear,
and cheerful cnuntenance will do much
to make the world brighter and those
about YOU more contepted. When we dc
this and quit our growing aud wicked
ness, then it will rain. Then the worlt
will look more hopeful: the prospect will
look more cheerful and those who in the
meantime have wandered about in search
of better land (wetter land) will return
to commend you for your steadfastness
Then it will rain. 81. F. l..
