A Converted Father.in-LaW.

A young lady was married in Boston
not long ago, and the father refused to
attend the wedding or to have anything
to say to her future husband. The
youthful couple settled down not great
distance from the paternal mansion and
began life in a modest way, not appar-
emily troubled by the stern decree
which barred one door against them. A
fewevenings ago the hard-hearted parent
was riding home, enjoying the balmy
spring breezes on the rear platform of a
horse car, when he fell into conversa-
ton with very agreeable young man.
He was charmed with his pleasing adj
dress, his respectful manners and his
common sense, and expressed himself
to that effect after he reached home, at
the supper table. "What kind Of a
looking young man was he ?" said his
better half with a sly twinkle in her eye.
The inquiry was answered with alacrity
by the unsuspecting man. "That was
your son-in-law," replied the lady as she
hid a very broad smile behind her nap
kin.-Bosto,a Post.

Danger in the Household.

Some fashionable socks and stockings
often contain poisonous coloring matter,
and cause eruptions of the feet. Some
California miners died from the effects
of wearing boots lined with bright green
flannel, the color in this case being
"Scheele's green,' well-known ar
senical compound. A tradesman SUI
fered from wearing bright maroon
flannel shirt. Paper collars glazed and
stiffened with sized white lead, and con-
tanning arsenic, have produced serious
illness and the same results have fol-
lowed 1.-THE wearing Of hats lined with ma
terial containing arsenic, and from
gloves and coat-sleeves similarly treated.
Five or six persons in household were
rendered suddenly i'll by the matter ex-
hailed from chintz window cur
tains and bed drapery, and green
blinds sometimes throw off ar
senical particles. Green gas-shades
in composing-room Of printing Office
have produced illness among the COM
positors. In the kitchen, arsenic has
now and then been met with when used
to impart green hue to dishes, such
as blanc mango. In one case gentle
man was poisoned by partaking of dish
innocently enough colored by arsenic
preparations which had been mistaken
by the cook for an extract of spinach.
And, even in the exercise of the perfum-
er's art, it behooves us TO be on our
guard against using preparations for the
hair colored green by some compound
of this substance. Arsenic also enters
into the coloring of certain kinds of wall
paper, and, as it readily becomes vola-
tile, we are constantly in danger from
it's effects

dent has recognized B. G. Black as consul OF
the republic of Hayt at Boston. Secretary
Sherman is in Ohio. Assistant secretary Of.
the treasury French has returned to Washing

The HOsti1 Sioux.

A dispatch received by Gen. Terry at
Washington, regarding the movements of
Sitting Bulls band has probably fastened his
return to his headquarters at st. Paul. At
all events he left for that point August %, and
when he arrives he will give his personal at
tention to Indian matters. The dispatch re-
ferred to is from Gen. Miles. It sets forth
that $50 hostil Sioux had surrendered at
Keogh, that 1000 more was on that SIDE of the
Missouri on there way to surrender, and that
others may follow. In Gen. Miles opinion
these Indians should all be held under mill
tary surveillance at the post at present. he
says that the remainder are south of the
Missouri, sending out war parties, receiving
stolen stock, annoying agency Indians, and
taking possession OF the agency and DESTROY
ing gardens. Agent Proctor and Indian In
spector Pollock have asked for troops. Sit
ting Bull, knowing that if he surrenders or is
captured he will be treated as an outlaw. is
fighting hard to prevent the desertion of all
his followers. Hunger, however, is an. all
powerful argument with the Indian, and is the
principal cause of the assertions from him
and the surrender to the United States forces

Getting Even with a Mule.

When a Kentucky man got well
enough to be out after difficulty with a
mule, he fixed the treadmill Of saving
machine SO that it would roll, put a
tempting measure Of oats in the manager
at the upper end, and left the mule alone
with the contrivance; and, after the ami
NAL had worked for half day in vain
effort to climb up to those oats, every
time he stepped forward on the mill t
having rolled back with him, that mule
was the most fadgued and ugiest, mad
dest, most Disguised creature in Ken
lucky, and the avenger was happy.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The St. PAM Wholesale Houses Of p. H.
Kelly and Averill, Russell & Carpenter
-r DESTROYED.

at quarter before o'clock Monday
morning, August %, the Waterman employed
at P. n. Kelley's wholesale grocery house,
corner OF Third and sibley streets, st. Paul,
discovered fire in the adjoining building occu-
pied by Averil. Russell & Carpenter as a
wholesale paper store. The fire seemed to be
on the upper floor of the building. An alarm
was promptly given, but the building was so
high that the streams did not do mnch execu-
ton. There was fire wall between Ayenill's
and kelly's, but mansard roof lowered 10
above that wall and within an hour after the
alarm the tire broke through the mansard
root upon the Avenill building and ran like a
streak across the Kelly building rmansard.
The upper floor Of Kely's store was filed
with light wooden ware, and the fire spread
with incredible rapiditv and fierce
ness. The lower floors were yerv
heavily laden and before four a. m i.
kelly's mammoth store aud stock we're ul-
terly demolished, and the walls were level
with the street.
Nothing but books and papers were saved
OF Mr.. kellys stock, and the vault was un.
opened, as none of the employees present had
the combination. What the fate of the con.
tents will be is as yet unknown E&
The Averill building where the fire original
ed, did not burn as quickly as the other, and
the walls for two stories stood until pulled
down. The fact that they did stand proved the
salvation of Aurebach, Finch & Culbcrtson's
"w:gwam'' across the street. Beaupre, Allen &
Keogh's building, opposite Kelly's store, was
on fire several times, but was saved without
ser .ous damage.
Averil], Russell & Carpenter had a stock of
$125OOO, and an insurance of S77,5O0. Mr.,
Kelly had a stock Of about 100000 and an
insurance of about $4,000. Mr.. Kelly is in
New York and has placed considerable in.
surance there, hence his total can not now be
defnitly stated.
The building occupied by P. H. Kelly was
100 feet square. 1t was built in 1872 by w.
s. Wright, at cost of about $4,000. 1t is
now owned by his heirs.
The building occupied by Averill Il Co. was
6ox16O, and was jointly owned by Amos w.
Hall and Geo. W. Sherwood. It cost about
$4,000.
The total loss is $615,ooo, and insurance
about 100000.

Afraid of the Camera.

In the Indian Territory fair was held
some time ago to show some of the re-
suits of civilizing the savages. A number
Of tribes attended, and displayed articles
Of home manufacture, such as needle
work, embroidery, lace-work, and
blankets. Many Of the Indians had
their photographs taken, and showed a
childish delight in looking at their faces.
Others, however, could not be persuaded
to go near the camera. Yellow Bear, Of
the Arapahoes, was the first to pass
through the ordeal of sitting. He
suffered himself to be properly seated,
and the camera brought to bear upon
him for the first time. But when the
prepared plate was placed in the box
and the cloth lifted, he leaped to his feet
with a bound, and attempted to leave the
tent. All attempts to reason with him
failed. At last a photograph of a Chey-
enne warrior was shown MIN, upon which
he went quietly back to his chair, and
sat there like statue till his negative
was taken. He explained that no Chey-
enne warrior was a greater brave than
he. The gigantic Osages, on the other
hand, will not approach the tent. They
say the camera robs them OF their good
spirits. The Kickapoos give the same
reason, and a photographed just returned
from their reservation informs me that
he was peremptorily ordered out Of their
country on that account. The Indian
is profound believer in the power Of
spirits for good or evil, and takes care
never to offend them.

Corn CrOD.

Howard, White g. Cawall, Of the Com
naerciaz Bulletin, Chicago, have replies from
correspondents in $50 counties in the North
west, from August 10th to the. present time,
as tothe condition and prospects of the corn
crop. The result is the discovery Of the sto-
1ies OF drought have been much exag-
gerated, and that the frequent showers of the
past few days will doubtless remedy the great
er part of the evil from drouth. The crop
will certainly be large average, the damage
being confined to narrow limits. In other
districts the crop will be the largest on record.
This is true of Iowa. The summary shows
that twenty five counties report the condition
of the crop as poor, fourteen report it fair, 100
good, sixty-two excellent. Illinois, the largest
corn State. reports five poor, ten fair, thirteen
good and seven excellent.

SUCKERS AND PUKEs.-A writer in
the Chicago Inter Ocean gives this YER
sion Of the origin of tsSuckers and
"Pukes:" IT came to Illinois in the
year A. D. 1888, and had curiosity to
know why the people Of Illinois were
called Suckers and those of Missouri
Pukes. The first to tell me was lady,
who had lived in st. Louis several years
previous, during summer Of great dis
tress on account Of sickness. ALI the
help (succor) they got came from Illinois.
About 10 o'clock a. M, they would see
one or two wagons winding their way to
town, when their dead would be buried
and the sick attended to thus they re-
ceived daily succor. The old doctors
then Gas they do now gave an emetic
for the first thing, followed with Gallo
mel, and the P11kes had to be attended
to, thus the sobriquet Succors and Pr1kes
as applied respectively.

Fatal Accidental Shooting.


Barney Wichers, young man just 20
years OF age, son OF Antoine Wichers, of Fari-
bault Rice county, Minn., was out hunting on
East Plairie, August "a, and while he was put
ting his gun into the wagon it was accident
ally discharged, the entire load passing
through the left leg a little below the hip,
severing the femoral artery. He was put in
the wagon and driven home as fast as posi-
BILE, and Drs. Rose and Wood summoned, who
did all in their power to save him, but all to
no avail. He died in about an hour after
reaching home, and an hour and half after
the accident. Barney was a promising young
man, q general favorite with all. Fer several
years past and up to the time of his death he
was head clerk in the dry goods house of j.
W. HOLMAN, in that city. His life could un-
doubleday have been saved if it had not
been for the gross carelessness OF his friends,
who through their excitement did nothing
towards staying the flow of blood.
