The popularity of CQncy Island as Il seaside
resort increases every year, and each season
witnesses the investment of large amounts of
fresh capital in hotels and transportation facili-
ties. With all the recent remarkable develop
mont of the island as Il health and pleasure re-
sort, however. there Is one needed improvement
which has thus far been overlooked. an,l. which
we believe would be rcmunprativc investment
rs well as an exceedingly popular enterprise.
We mean good, clean, respectable low-priced
hotel. The present hotel accommodations of
the island beaches are designed either for cy-
| cursionists who take supper and return TO the
city to sleep, for people who can afford 70

this is the hardest blow New-Ulm has ever
received, "hext to the Indian massacre"

1t has so happened that the American peo-
pie have acquired personal knowledge of the
family of President Garfield such as they have
seldom had of the families of our Presi-
dents. The explanation has lain in the
fact that probably Presidents house
hold has seen such trying times within
few months of the beginning of his. term.
Mrs. Gar1elds serious illness attracted the at
tentlon of the country in a peculiar degree,
because it was felt to be due to the negligence
OF Congress i'll failing to provide our Presi-
dents with place and house to live in where
health was not in danger. The attempted
assassination of the President and his brave
struggle for life drew the eyes of the whole
people upon the White House A llercer light
than ever beat upon n throne was turned upon
that little household, and the picture of domes-
tic purity and affection it revealed has done
more to preach the home virtues than a
thousand sermons. Meanwhile, several of the
Presidents relatives had died, two of them from
injuries received in railroad accident and
now it is reported that his aged mother is
seriously i'll, and, at her advanced years,
is believed to be in grave danger. For
tnnatoly, the President has reached a stage
where probably not even such an aflc-
ton az the death of his mother, for whom he
has displayed an affection rare even among
good sons, could cause any reverse in his
progress. But msfOrtunes have accumulated
so rapidly upon the Presidents family, and
the bond between him and " the little white
| haired mother" has been the subject of so
much admiration, that much of the sympathy
with which he has been surrounded will go
out to the faithful woman who seems to take
more pride in saying that "James was always
a good boy" than in knowing that he is Prcsi-
dent of the United States.

A Bachelors Reflections.

What a miserable cynic of an old
bachelor it must have been who wrote
the ensuing description of marriage.
He ought to be ashamed of himself !:
"Look at the great mass of marriages
that take place over the whole world !;
what poor, contemplate affairs they
are! A few soft looks, a walk, dance,
a squeeze of the hand, a popping of the
question, a purchasing of a certain
number of yards of white satin, a ring,
a minister, stage or two in hired
carriage, a night in country in, and
the whole matter is over. For five or
six weeks two sheepish-looking persons
are seen dangling on each Others arms,
looking at waterfalls, or making morn
ing calls; then everything falls into the
most monotonous routine; the wife sits
on one side of the hearth and the hus-
band on the other, and little quarrels,
little pleasures, little cares and little
children gradually gather round them.
This is what ninety-nine out of one hum
dred find to be the delights of matri-
mopy." We read this a moment ago in
the sanctum to q young lady of eigh-
teen, with large bright eyes, red and
dewy lips, matchless figure, and she
thinks it /" atrocious," and the man who
wrote it ga very great fool" If the
writer could have seen our friend when
she said this we believe that that would
have been his opinion also.-L. Gaylord
Clark.

her feelings, and she allowed herself to
rest, with a sense of comfort and Sc
curity, on the practical common sense
and right feeling of the husband she
had Systematically moderated. "Leave
me alone, Penny she said, "for half
an hour. My head is in whirl, now, and
/ want to be alone. Tell Jane to bring

When the allotted time had expired,
Penny went back again, and found her
looking ten years younger, her hair
but exquisitely beautiful lace cap on her
head, and box of trinkets and whim-
whams by her side.
"Penny," she said at once, "I have
been an old fool, and blind to more
things than one. l don't say that if
what has been done could be undone /
wouldn't undo it but can't, and will
make the best of it. Tell the boy he
needn't go away for week. l am not

if L never give him occasion to remem-
Der that mad scene outside-as, so help

added with laugh, emptying the box
of trinkets on the table. 81 have never

Two years and a half later, the old
folks sat by blazing winter fire, and a
chubby boy was fondling shaggy dog
on the hearthrug at their feet. The old
lady stopped down and smoothed the
flaxen ringlets of the child.
