Mr.. and Mrs. Defoe sat before cheerful

Defoe suddenly exclaimed as above.
"What is it, dear?" she responded.
Say, we've got tired of playing games
and what do you say to private theAEricals?"
"How?"
"Why, we'll get three or four of the
neighbors to join in, and we'll meet at each
others houses and have regular plays"
That will be splendidip she gasped.

4 Land Without Laughter.

James Redpaln In New 0rk Tribune.
The Irish have been described by novel
lists and travellers as a llght-hearted aud roll
licking people-full of fun and quick in
repartee-a devil-me-care race of folks,
equally ready to dance or TO fight. 1 have
not found them so. / found them in the
west of Ireland a sad and respondent peo-
pie; care-worn, broken-hearted and
shrouded in gloom. Never once in the hun
dreds of cabins that l entered-never once
sound of a merry voice. Old men and boys;
old women and girls; young men and
maidens; all of them, withou a solitary
exception. were grave or haggard, and every
household looked as if the plague OF the
first-born had smitten it that day. Rachael,
weeping for her children, would have
passed unnoticed among these warm hearted
peasants; or, il she had been noticed, they
would only have said: ''She is one OF u.s."
A home without child is cherries enough,
but here is a whole region without a child's
laugh in it. Cabins full of children, and no
boisterous gleel No need to tell these
youngsters to be quiet. The famine has
tanned their restless spirits, and they crowd
around the bit of peat fire without uttering
a word. Often they do not look second
time at the stranger who comes into their
cabin. Can Americans conceive OF country
whose only happy children are in public
institution? If you can do so, then you see
the west OF Ireland in the winter Of 1880.
Now don't say God pity them" just pity
them yourself first. They need no more
prayers, but they do need more meal.

Will the Hawkeye kindly inform us when,
where, how, and to whom this offer was
made? Was it by Mr.. Tildsn himself or
through an agent? Was it in an autograph
letter or a secret telegraphic cipher? Was
the money payable on the delivery OF the
nomination, or in q series of installments?
VAST to be publicly distributed among the

so sure of the fact, it can have no difficulty
in reporting all these minor details.

lGalveston News.1
Just before the last gale reached the city
the old salts commanding vessels along the
wharves, through that wonderful intuition
belonging to men who go down to the sea In
ships, seemed to know OF its approach. a
veteran coaster, who ranges in the bays and
about the stream, under the cognomen OF
Captain Charley, put out his hawsers,
bow, stern and spring lines, and made
securely fast to the docks. Alter this
dutiful arrangement for the safety OF his
craft, he adjourned TO a neighboring bar
room and expectantly awaited the conse-
quences OF the coming gale, which coon
rushed down with crushing force, making
everything in the shape Of q water craft fair
ly dance on the waves. Captain Charley
rubbed the mist from a pane OF glass and
watched with much interest the work of
wind and water. Instead of manifestiDg
anything like fear for the safety of his yes
sci, the Captain seemed to enjoy the roar and
threatening sspect of the elements. A by
stander, who also looked from another win
dow, and recognizing the danger to which
the Captains vessel was exposed, asked:
what Is the matter, Captain Charley? Is
your schooner in danger" The quick reply
was: "Dangerl 1 hope the bloody vessel
will sink" Being asked why he desired the
sinking OF his vessel, he laconically answer.

the window. Another question was pro.
pounded, when Captain Charley continued:

be counted. hope that she will sink and
they drown. The job of killing them
is too great an undertaking.
and the time has arrived for
either the Captain or the rats TO
leave" Some one asked him why
he did not get a cat. 81 would
like to see the cat that could spend
night in that schooner and be alive in the

cats and bull dog In Indianola, and turned
them loose in the hold to finish the rats.

When Franklin Pierce was President he
happened one day to be in the Office of the
chief clerk of the House OF Representatives,
where he received message that required
him to write an immediate note to the Sec
rotary OF the Navy. While writing, he
quietly asked whether the word navy" in
that connection should be spelled with a

Using the great boon of exceptionally cheap
bread to the people at large. They do
however, indicate an approaching crisis in
our agricultural interest that demands very
serious attention. In order to meet extra
ordinary deficiencies in Europe, we have
increased our grain production far beyond
the requirements of q normal demand; and
yet we are acting as though our augmented
crop would continue to still be marketed at
good prices IL seems reasonable TO estimate
that our present rate of wheat production will
be found TO exceed the normal demand for
the home and foreign markets by about
100 OO0. 900 bushels Under these circum-

Is to be the result CT the current large influx
OF immigrants at the West and the yearly
augmentation of our grain acresge? An
agricultural reaction in that section seems
almost inevitable. 1t will not do to argue
that the increase Of American crops will
starve out the European farm ers and thereby
lessen the European product The
sufferings of British farmers for
the last three years are doubtless
running many of them; but the effect
of that will be simply to reduce rents and to
transfer farms into the hands of those better
able to manage them. And, moreover, our
own railroads have so far overcome the COM
petition that has given Western farmers low
freIghts within late years that in future
Western grain must be expected
to pay much more for carriage to
the seaboard than it has been accus-
toned to, while ocean freights are not likely
to rule so low as during the last few years of
commercial depression. These are factors
that will operate very materially in favor of
the European farmer. The West may find
material enough for cautious reflection in its
present situation.

custom after breakfast prayer was offered.
There being an unusual amount OF work
that day, the Deacon's prayer was short. He
seized his hat and milk pail and started for

notice his absence, but supposed him to be
