AFATAL ANSWER.

Lucien Youngs noble action, Q few
years ago, in saving several lives from
a wrecked vessel, says the Richmond
Register, will be remembered; also
the action Of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture in publicly recognizing his servi-
ces. A few weeks since he was in
Frankfort and while there visited the
penitentiary, where he met Samuel
Holmes, confined for the murder Of
Colonel Napier. Young and Holmes
were boys together at school, and
fast friends. Young was greatly
moved by Holmes unfortunate con-
dition, and determined to make an
effort for his release. To this end be
called on the Governor and made an
earnest appeal for pardon. Gov.
Blackburn relented, the pardon was
made out and signed With the doc
ument in his pocket, Young hastened
back to the prison to tell the good
news to his friend Before telling
him that he had come to make him
q free man, Young commenced con-
versation, and after talking awhile
upon other subjects, finally said:
"Sam, if you were turned loose and
fully pardoned what would be the
very first thing you would do?" The
convict very quickly responded: u
would go to Lancaster and kill Judge
Owsley and another scoundrel who
was witness against me-" Young
uttered not a word, but turned mourn.
fully away, went outside the prison
walls, took the pardon from his pock'
ct and tore it into fragments.

The Western people are rapidly
waking up to the necessity of plant

THE DREAMER.

I
All day the white-haired woman sits
! Beside the open door and knits;
No living thing her dim eye sees,
As busy with old memories,
She dreams her dream Of what has been,
She thinks of those who long ago
Went out across the threshold low,
How many times her listening ear
has thought familiar footsteps near.
And she has started up to find
But never rs of those who lie
Beneath the wide and tender sky,
With folded hands on quiet breast,
All wrapped about with peace and rest,
She thinks of them. For her they trend

WINNING A HUSBAND.

1t is easy enough to win il husband
Most any attractive little dumping
with n bright eye and coaXing voice
can gather in Il noble husband, but it
is pretty difficult to retain him. Noble
husbands are thicker than hair on a
dog, but the grand difficulty is to draw
out their true nobility and secure it at
home.
If the wife only understands her bust
ness she can introduce the soothing
racket in her new field of operations
and walk away with the whole busi-
ness. Most men like to be loved and
soothcd. There is something in the
mans great, rough, earnest nature that
can be won quicker and easier with
gentleness and pie than by the logic of
the broom handle and a bilious course
of reasoning with bread and milk diet.
We have seen girl who understood
her business take a reformed road agent
by the nose, so to speak, and lead him
through life in such a way that he
would't know but he was boss of the
ranch. So perfect was the delusion,
that when she asked him to bring in a
scuttIe of coal, or get up in his night
shirt and kill burglar that he knew
was nothing but bobtailcd COW four
blocks away, he always went, and he
felt as though he counted 1t a mark OF
special favor that a poor unworthy
worm Of the dust like him, should be
sought out and delegated to go ant
chase lame cow across nine vacan
lots with an old barrel stavc, and
clothed in nothing but little brlc
authority and knit undershirt.
We can not exactly describe this
magic power Of a devoted wife over
u H. ~ mt
try it. 1t is an unseen motive, a name
less leverage that makes the husband
get up in the dead hours of the nigh'
and set the pancake batter near tho
parlor stove, 49,. ,,,
A man need not think tina. becanse
he gets UP and looks for burglars IN the
picbt and is otherwise obcdient, thai
II Is because he has no backbone.
It is simply because he is the husband
of a woman of whom he ought to bt
proud.

Guiteau's sister is probably the only
friend he has in the world. 1t was
through her influence that Mr.. Scoville
consented to defend the unfortunate
man. Who ever heard of sisters
deserting wayward brother? The
world may frown, but her sweet smile
and words of cheer drive shadows from
the heart like the sun, through the
mists of the morning, maketh darkness
smile at his coming. That man is un.
fortunate who has no sister.

The practice of head hunting still
exists in Borneo, through it is evidently
dying out in the regions over which
the Dutch have any control. 1t Is a
curious custom. No youth is allowed
to don the tokens of manhood or pay
his addresses to any Malay maid till
he has been able to bring in two or
three of his enemies heads. Births,
marriages, and deths and many other
events in the lives of these half-savage
people cannot be properly celebrated
without the presence of a few fresh
heads; and in almost every house ono
or more Of these trophies are slowed
away wrapped up in banana leaves.

The N. O. States gives plan for
rcfmedying the evil at the mouth of
Red river, proposed, or rather revived
by Major Richardson, formerly of
Ouachita but more recently of New
Orleans. The States says the plan was
suggested before the war tsby that able
engineer" but, we presume through
typographical error, the name of tho
engineer is not given. About twenty
miles above the head Of OLD river the
Red and Mississippi approach within
three miles or less OF each other.
Across this narrow strip Of land there
now runs Il crooked and sluggish bayou
known as Cutoff bayou. Toward tho
head, on Red river end OF this bayou
the Red flows in almost Il direct line,
but is DETECTED to the southward by
! the want of n sufficient channel through
the feeble bayou. The proposed plan
Is that q sill dam be thrown across the
Red river Just below Cut-oil bayou ana
the channel Of the bayou, II necessary,
at sufficiently to give the cxcavated
waters of the Rcd an unimPeded
outlet into the Mississippi. In this
cosc Red river would enter tho Mis-
sissippi some miles above Fort
Adams; and while, if successful, incaf-
cuIably facilitated navigation would
not be materially heightened.
