UOM4SLI .uOUESTY.

Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky and the flll-blown rose leave
him unmo,cd: but the violet which
hides its blusbing beauties behind the
bush. and the moon when emerging from
behind a cloud, are to him sources of i'll
spiration and OF pleasure. MOdesty lis
to merit what Shade is to q figure in
pInting--it gives holdncss and promi-
ncnce. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modcsty. 1t sheds around
the countelIancr Il halo of light that is
borrowed from virtue. Bo:anis;s have
given ihc rosy hue which tingcs the cup
of the white rose the name Of maiden
blush" This p;Tc and delicate hue is
the only paint Christian virtue should
use. 1t Is the richest ornament. A
woman without inodcsty is like faded
flower diflusing an unwholcsome odor,
which the prudent gardener will throw
from. him. Her destiny is melancholy,
for it terminates III shame and repent
ance. Beauty passes like the flowers,
which bloom and die in . few
hours but modesty gives the female
charms which supply the place of tran
sitorY freshness Of youth.

"PlTRONYZXyG" PAPER.

We find in the Boston HcroM some
talk 'about "ceasing to patronize news
paper and also about newspaper pat
ronage.' 1t rs O stupid phrase. We
do not consider anybody patronizes u
newspaper when he buys it or tina. tho
newspaper is under any obligations to
any ore who either purchases copy or
inserts an advertisement. II it is Il
wise and sound Newspaper, the pur-
chaser or advertiser gets the value al
his money, and the amount is even be-
tween them. The only situation in
which the word patronage can be proper
ly used, in such case, is where tho
the newspaper is mean and worthless.
and the man pays for his copy or for his
advertisement more than the thing is
really worth. IL that sort Of circrm-
stances there may be patronage in the
base sense Of the word-the sense =,
which the Hordld employs it. The idea
OF patronage contains III it something Of
servility. II has no place III the Anler-
can republic. IL ought to he rcpudi-

PRESIDENT ARTHUR is winning
admiration from the American PEG.
pie by his every act since assuming
the reins of Government. In max
ing his Cabinet selections, he is
gathering to his side men of age and
experience, but not of rabid and
radical partisan convictions, such as
usually fill these positions of high
trust. The appointment of Benjamin
II. Brewster of Pennsylvania, for
Acknowledgement is eminently fitting,
and u choice that will be received by
all parties and party factions with
entire satisfaction. Mr.. Brewster is
a gentleman of strong convictions,
although of conservative views, and
one of the foremost among the legal
lights of the country. He has been
engaged for some weeks as consulting
attorney for the Government in the
Star Route cases, and his appoint.
ment is a garantee that these thieves
in high places need not expect, nor
will they receive, any leniency at his
hands. He will make a model AT.

The Owatonna Journal, IN cOnSOl-
ing itself over the defeat Gifts towns
man for the Speakership says: "Nei-
ther Mr.. Dunnell nor his friends ex-
pected him to show any great strength
except as a compromise candidate"
If this be a fact it was kept remark
ably well hidden by the friends of
Mr.. Dunnell. The columns of gush
expended in his laudation would lead
one not directly enlisted in the
"ring," to suspect that he stood
about the only real, first.class chance
for success, and that his qualifications
for the position were paramount to all
others. But the Journal says it was
not fact, and we presume the Jour
nal knows-or ought to. In the same
breath the editor truthfully remarks
that "he lacked the backing of a
great State like New York or Ohio to
commence with" And with equal
propriety the Journal might have
added that she lacked the backing Of
a great State like New York or Ohio
to end with" In fact he lacked
everything necessary to success and
no amount of vague excuses will in
the least help his waning cause at
this late day.

If any of the live stock dealers in
this section have experienced short
age in their hog shipments to Chica-
60, it may be accounted for thus A.
Lembeck & Co., stock dealers resid-
ing at Dyersville, Iowa, have been at
a loss to account for the disappear.
ance of live hogs shipped by them to
Chicago, and determined to find the
cause. Investigation ensued, and a
day or two after a man was seen
showing hogs out of a stock car at
Mapleton, Ill. 1t was ascertained
that there was regular gang of hog
thieves stationed along the Illinois
Central Railroad between this. city
and Chicago, and as stock trains
halted at various stations in the night
time, members of the gang would
secrete themselves about the cars,
and when the train started and was
in motion would open the doors and
push hogs out before the train got
under Roadway. Other members of
the gang would then haul the hogs
away in a wagon. 1t is thought that
this scheme has been worked on
various other roads where live stock
has mysteriously disappeared from
cars while on the way to market.
