The Hon. Demshame Hornet had very
| Unpleasant experience lately. Mark Twain
was advertised to lecture in certain up-
country town but for some reason failed to
get around. In the emergency the lecture
committee decided to employ Mr.. Hornet to
deliver his celebrated lecture on Temperance,
but so late in the day was this arrangement
made that no bills announcing it could be
circulated and the audience assembled ex-
pecting to hear the celebrated innocent
Nobody in the town knew Mark or had ever
heard him lecture and they had got the
notion that he was funny and went to the
lecture prepared to laugh. Even those on
the platform except the chairman thought
Mr.. Hornet to be Mark, and when he was
introduced were not dsilusioned as they
thought Hornet must be Marks real name
as they knew Twain was q nom de plume.
Mr., Hornet first remarked: "Intemperance
is the curse of this country The audience
burst into a merry laugh. He knew it
couldn't be at his remark and thought his
clothes must be awry and he asked the
chairman in a whisper if he was all right and
got Eyes" for an answer. Then he said:
Rum slays more than disease :" louder

on. 1T breaks up happy homes l'-still
louder mirth. at is carving Young men

and applause, Mr. Hornet began to get
excited. He thought they were guying him,
but he proceeded-"We must crush the
serpent! "a tremendous howl of laughter.
The men on the platform, except the chair
man squirmed as they laughed Hornet
couldn't stand it. What I'm saving is
gospel truth" he cried. The audience fair
ly beloved with mirth. Hornet turned to
man on the stage and said "Do YOU see
anything very ridiculous in my remarks or
behavior ?" "Ies, ha ha--it's intensely
funny-ha ha ha Go on :" replied the roar
ing man." This is an INSULT cried Hor-
net wildly dancing about. More laughter
and cries Of Go on, Twain" :" And then
the chairman got the idea of the thing and
rose up and explained the situation and the
men on the stage suddenly quit laughing
and blushed very red, and the folks in the
audience looked at each other in a mighty
sheepish way and they quit laughing too.
And then Mr.. Hornet being thoroughly
mad told them he had never before got into
town so entirely populated By asses and
idiots and having said that, he left the hall
And the assemblage then voted to censure

HANDS OFF

We see that the Kansas City Journal,
or rather its Kansas correspondent, "Joe
Fluffer," is giving us good deal of
":af p about Kansas politics. Itsfrown-
ing guns are turned on governor st. John
in particular, and a few paper wads have
been fired at that gentleman. Now we
feel just like telling our big brother at
Kansas City, which we have always
had the greatest respect and admiration
for, that il had better mind its own bust
ness. There is just one thing we Kan
sas folks won't stand, and that is outside
interference, and especially from Mis-
souri,. We got enough of that long ago
to last us for several years yet The
Journal ought to know that Kansas
folks feel competent to attend to theiI
own political matters, and that they take
good degree of pride in doing so
Perhaps 1t may be saiC
we have not always don'
30 exactly to our credit, but we dom
want and won't take advice from Mis-
souri,. We don't know whether the PEG
pie want St. John for governor or not, ant
this paper is not campaigning" for hin
now, but we do know that the kind OF
fight Mr.. Fluffer is making on the gov
ernOr is not calculated to injure tina
gentleman in the least in Kansas. 10
seph had better confine himself TO hi
legitimate field. which is to give tn
| news LET orr politics alone.

HOW WE LIE TO THE INDIANS.

The facts ELECTED by the senate COM
mittee AS to the Cheyenne outbreak, re-
ported by telegraph, go to disclose how
by the system OF large promises and
utter failure in performance, which
would seem to constitute the entire
policy in dealing with them. They were
told they would be removed to Il region
Astounding with game. They were re-
moved to Indian Territory, where they
found no game. They were to be pro
vided with medicine and medical at
tendance. The measles became epidemic
among them, and killed 12 per cent. OF
their entire number; and while il ragged
with terrible severity, they were not pro
vided with medicine, and one doctor was
left to attend several thousand of them
During the epidemic he did not attend
them because he had no medicines
The annuity goods, which it was speci.
fed in the treaty they were to receive
were never delivered. Another of the
promises upon which they consented tO
be removed to the Indian Territory was
that cattle should be furnished them
But no cattle were ever furnished. And
without these, without annuity supplies
and in a region destitute of game, the
raiions issued them for weeks food
were not sufficient for two days. The
whole indicates how, at government ex
pense, Indian wars are stirred up. Wa
do not have very great admiration fol
the mobile red man." but this wholesale
lying should stop.

FASHIONABLE DISSIPATION.

sharply hits off some of the phases of
modern life:

that sosiety people have been obliged to
decline nUmberlcss invitations, simply
from lack of ubiquity. In the strictly
modisl quarter, now bounded by TWEEN
ty-third AMI Fifty-nInth streets, Sixth
and Madison avenues, carriages are
coming and going from late
afternoon TO long after mid

their daIniily-aiiired freight, while the

A CHAMPION.

U. F. Sargent is known somewhat IN
Kansas as reformer(I. He is known
somewhat as a humbug and blatherskite,
also. When the printers were on strike
last week in Kansas City, this fellow Sar-
gent was brought TO the surface again as
champion of the laboring man. He loves
to rant in public, does this fraud. A.
meeting was called to sympa;hize with the
printers, and of course U. F. was there in
his glory, and shook his ''gory locks :
Major Kaffrey, editor of the Kansas
Pilot, published in Kansas City, Kansas,
and also justice of the peace, published
the following personal to Sargent KAT
frey is hard working man and n true
friend to the printers. Sargent simply
brought ridieule on their cause by his
participation. Kaffrey says:
'sThe printers of Kansas City are on u
strike and on Thursday night they and
their friends representing other trades
held public meeting to discuss the sit
| uation. OF course we, being printers,
sympathize with the craft in and with
which we have so long labored. But on
Thursday night the first speaker was U.
F. Sargent, a publisher who never agreed
TO pay what the boys demanded, or even
what they were receiving ut the hands of
| the uptown publishers when they struck,
and if he ever paid even the rat prices
which he contracted to pay we
are uniformed, or rather Inisinformed
| Why, the dirty demagogue was sued IN
this city for rent due a widow woman,
(Mrs. LonuelD for as he would neither
pay rent nor vacaie, proceedings were in
stituted against him. We are the legal
custodian of the docket proving this
| charge. We do not believe that there
are twenty printers in Kansas City who
do not know Sargent, and who are mo-
aware that while protesting to espous'
and champion the cause of laboring meL
he has always proven himself to be theil
enemy. When he published his smuttN
sheet here, one of his printers failing L
get his earned money from Sargent, &C
cepted an offer of work at st. Joseph, 5
promising TO supply the pressing de
mands of his family while he was absent
The printer went, but his wife could ge
nothing from Sargent, but was Obliged
To take in washing to support herself

HOW TO INCREASE PROPERTY.

1t is seldom advisable for women VINO
have a sufficient income to attempt its
increase by exchanges or investing II In
business. But there are many whose
incomes are inadequate, and who are
under the necessity of increasing their
incomes or leaning on their friends.
Surprising a woman in these -circum-
stances is of an independent spirit, and
resolves not to depend on the assistance
of friends, my first suggestion to her
would be to resolve that, come what
may, her present property shall not be
diminished. And if 10 what she has she
can, by selfdenial and earnest effort, add
something from time to time, the tide
will at length turn in her favor. She
may hear il whispered, MOLLY Stark has
taken up teaching, has become govern
ess, is copying law papers-quite tam
bler Well, Molly Stark is not beholden
to such, nor never will be.
Saving and laying up is the habit thai
succeeds. 1t seems to be in the blood o1
some families of both sexes alike to be
independent. Cost what it may of pres
ent selfdenial, they Will set the ball roll
ing that will grow into round compe
tence How much better and happier Il
such life in the long run than life o
sapinehess and semi-dependence.
g., A resolute woman is pretty sure to fine
one way or another to do that which vii
be remunerative, and her prospects TO
working out her pecuniary salvation arr
better than those of the average man il
the same circumstances. OF course, he
success all depends on losing no tim
and saving and laying up her earnings
