What Was the DiaIect2

If you don't know how to say in for
eign tongue what you want to say, don't
say you don't know what. Not few
Americans have been mortified, while
airing their bad French in Partisan
store, to hear the polite clerk say:
"Monsieur will pardon me, but under
stand English"
A story told Of Representative Orth, of
Indiana, illustrates the expediency of
observing the above advice. He is of
German descent, and is proud of his
ability to speak the German language.
Some years ago he was appointed
United States Minister at Vienna. When
he was presented at court, thinking to
pay a delicate compliment to the En-
peror of Austria, he delivered his official
address in German. The Minister cred
tied himself with having done his part
well. But there are always two impress
sions made by an address-that made on
the speaker himself, and that on the
hearer.
A few days after Mr.. Orth's linguistic
success, an American gentleman of high
position was presented to the Emperor.
His Majesty alluded to Mr.. Orth in COM
plimentary terms, he asked:
"In what dialect did Mr.. Orth deliver
his address? know, of course, that it
was not English, and thought that I
detected faint traces of the Teutonlc
tongue in some of the words. = YOuth's s

Death of senator Carpenter.

United States Senator Matthew H. Carpenter,
of Wisconsin, died at Washington, February
a. of Bright's disease of the kidneys. He
had beenorrt of health for some time past, but it
was only recently that his malady assumed
threatening form. He hoped until near. the
last that rest and a change of air would restore
his lost strength. He was a resident of Mil
waukee, but native of Vermont, having been
born at Moretown, in that State, in 1924. His
attention was first turned toward a military ca
reer, and he spent two years (1S43 45) at West
Point. Subsequently he studied law with Rufus
Choate, at Boston, and having been admitted
to the bar, emigrated to Wisconsin in 184S. He
was successful as q practitioner, and soon. be-
came active in politics. He was elected to the
United States Senate to succeed Mr.. Doolittle,
for the six years beginning March 4, 1869. On
the conclusion Of his term of Office he resumed
the practice Of his profession in both Washing
ton and Milwaukee. His popularity was such
that he was elected to the Senate for q second
time, and had not served ,quite half his term,
which would have expired March 8, 1885. Mr..
Carpenter was man of positive convictions,
great energy, and shrewdness. His ability, if
not Of the first order, was much above the av-
erage. His constituents have lost a hard
working and keen-sighted representative, and
the Republican party will mourn one of it's
most sagacious leaders.

MIR. Chapman submitted the report from the

port, together with the testimony, was ordered
printed in advance OF other matter. The re-
port is . long one, and the committee has em-
bodied the conclusions it contains in bill,

A Sweet Thing in Girls.

There is an idea common among young
girls which ought to be combatted by
every intelligent woman; it is that in be-.
coming housekeeper, and especially If
called upon to do the greater part of the
work, she might just as well be unedu-
Gated; that her requirements at school,
if not uniting her for ii, are of no value.
If this were true it would indeed be lam
entable; but it is not true; because we
can point to notable instances Of edu-
Gated women who are untidy and disor-
derby is no proof Of the proposition. So
far as my own observation goes-and l
have kept my eyes open for several years
Il have found that those women who
have had the benefit of q thorough edu-
cation are the best housekeepers. A
woman who has been taught accuracy by
a course in chemistry, who has had her
eyes enlightened by the study and prac-
tice of painting, who has learned the
necessity of precision by long hours at
the piano, will make her house the richer
and the better ordered for this training.
If she brings to her work the right spirit
she is certain to find usefor all that she
has ever learned, besides having the aid
which her habits Of order and persever-
ance will constantly give her. The COM
, ing housekeeper ought to be very nap
py woman; she will have 80 much to
think about when her hands are full OF
work which does not demand much di-
rection. She viii not be disturbed about
SO many things as her mother was; moths
and beetles will mean more TO her than
to the old-time housekeeper, to whom
everything that crawled or flew was q
'.bug," an object of detestation to be
stepped on or put into the stove as
quickly as possible. Our modern wise
woman knows better; she quietly brings
out her bottle of benzine or ether, n
pasteboard box, captures the insect. puts
him to sleep, and soon has collection
which, whens mounted and put in
simple frame, is handsome ornament
for her home. If it was ever true that
a little learning is dangerous thing for
woman, that day has passed.-7hs

Grows Either Wet or Dry.

Chief Justice Mansfield, probably with
view to prolong his own days, was
slways anxious, when old witnesses were
In court, to know their customary habits
Of life. It so happened that two very
I'D men by the name Of Elm were ons
day the objects of his inquiry.
"You are a very old man." said his
Lordship, to the elder brother. 81 sup
pose you have lived very temperate
life p"
"Never drank anything but water, my
Lord" said Elm.
"Nor you either, I suppose?" said
the Judge, addressing himself to the
younger.

Lord" was the reply. "I always took
my glass with my friends"
"Well, then," replied his Lordship,
call that we can say is, an elm will
flourish wet or dry"

The Home of Mark Twain.

In letter from Hartford, Ct, to the
Burlington Qowa) Haaokeye, Mr.. r. j.
Burdette writes:
3" I think have never been in a home
more beautifully homelike than this pal
ace of the king of humorists. The sur
roundings of the house are beautiful,
and its quaint architecture, broad East
Indian porticos, the Greek patterns in
mosaic in the dark red brick walls attract
and charm the attention and good taste
of the passer-by, for the home, inside
and out, is the perfection of exquisite
taste and harmony. But with all its
architectural beauty and originality, the
elegance of its interior finish and decora-
tions, the greatest charm about the house
is the atmosphere of 'homelikeness' that
pervades it. Charmipgly as he can en-
tertain thousands of people at time
from the platform, Mr.. Clemens is even q
more perfect entertainer in his home.
The brightness and best sides of his ma.
tnre shine out at his fireside. The hu-
NOR and drollery that sparkle in his
conversation is as utterly unaffected and
natural as sunlight. Indeed, don't be-
Heve he knows or thinks that most of
his talk before the sparkling fire, up in
the pleasant retirement of his billiard
room study, is marketable merchandise
worth SO much page to the publishers,
but it is. And it is not all drollery and
humor. He is SO earnest that his
earnestness charms you fully as much as
his brighter flashes, and once in a while
there is in his voice an infection of won-
derfu1 pathos, SO touched with melan-
choly that you look into the kind, earnest
eyes to see what thought has touched
his voice. And he has heart as big as
his body; I believe there does not live a
man more thoroughly unselfish and self
forgetful. Two little girls and boy
baby, bright eyed, good tempered, and
with full head of hair as brown as his
fathe er's, assist Mrs. Clemens to fill the
heart of the reigning humorist, and they
do it most completely. Personally, Mr..
Clemens is, perhaps, little above the
medium height, Of good symmetrical
physique, brown hair, scarcely touched
with gray, that curls over high, white
forehead; friendship in his eyes, hearty
cordiality in the grasp of well shaped
white hand, strong enough and heavy
enough to be a manly hand; his age ii
forty something, and he looks thirty five
i'll the evening after the lamps are lighted,
his face has boyish look, and he loves q
good cigar even better than GRAM
! does"

No Fascinations in Snakes.

I have seen, says Nature, a guinea
pig, after finding no place of exit from
the cage, quietly settle itself down in the
midst of the coils of an Australian con-
strictor, shut its eyes and go to sleep.
Ten minutes afterward the snake had
moved and the guinea-pig was washing
its face with its paws. Not once, but
dozen times, rabbit has nibbled the
nose of River Jack viper { Nipera rhi-
noceros) in a pretty, inquiring way,
needless of the strong blows the reptile
would administer with its snout to the
impertinent investigator of that queer
looking object. For fully ten minutes
one day rabbit sat gazing at the poised.
and threatening head of puff adder,
now and then reaching forward to smell
the reptiles nose, and anon sitting on
its hind legs to wash its ears, and again
returning to the fascinating object of
its inquiries. If, during that time, the
rabbit had fallen into the state of trance,
it was SO soon released from that condi-
ton as to be able to attend to its own
comfort and busy itself about its toilet.
The birds show no more recognition than
the other animals of the dangerous posi-
ton in which they are placed. We see
them hopping about on the snakes, and
picking Justify at their scales; sitting
ON the branches preening their feathers
and behaving themselves just as though
no such dreadful (or pleasing p sensation
as "fascination" was possible. I saw
once a sparrow perched upon the body
of a snake twisted round branch and
preening itself. By and by constructor
crept up slowly, touched the bird with
it's nose, and then threw the crushing
folds around it. The deliberate approach
of the snake and the unconscious atti-
tude of the sparrow, concerned about its
private affairs, would have staggered an
ordinary believer in fascination. I
have closely watched the behavior Of
snakes intent on feeding. 1t may be q
Sudden rush, when the victim has no
time to see its enemy, or the gradual,
lazy advance of the reptile; in either case
the doomed victims betrays no suspicion
of danger, at least 30 far as have been
able SO ascertain after passing some hun
dreds of hours contemplating the snakes
in the unequaled representative collec-
ton of the geological society.
