The Racquette IN Leadville.

The Chronicle says: awe saw the rae.
quette the other night. 1t is a lovely dance
The attitudes and motions Of the dancers
are excruciating. No wonder it is such q
favorite among the young ladies and gentle
men OF high moral proclivltes. 1t is Just
too lovely for anything and is easy to learn.
And 1t is so. appropriately named, altho ugh
misspelled. 1t goes on in the following style:
The lady and gentleman stand facing each
other, quite close together. The gentlemans
right arm is delicately placed around the
lady's waist, his left hand clutching her right
| index finger, while her left hand Is placed
on his right shoulder. Finally the fiddles,
after few see-saws, strike up: "a dog ate
rye straw, rye straw; dog ate rye straw.
etc." AT the sound Of "dog" the dancers
Jump OIL to the gentleman's'left two Jumps,
as though the "dog" were biting at them from
the rear, and they in their efforts to escape
were trying to dodge past each other but
couldn't. After the two jumps to the lady's
LEFT they both halt an instant with their feet
about fifteen inches apart and bending the
knees inward toward each other until thew
nearly touched. We could only see the gen.
tleman's knees, but suppose the lady did.
They both suddenly spring one jump to the
ladys left, and thus backward and forward.
keeping their feet and knees rigidly in the
above position all the time; but with timber
knee and hip joints they make a graceful
swinging motion up and down TO the time of
the music. When the music stops a moment,
the dancers stop, and then at the sound of
"dog" they both swing off again, and repeat
the maneuver over and over, until both be-
come exhausted the fiddles stop, and they
sink into seats in perfect perspiration of
rapture. That's the racquette. Oh, it is
just too jolly, but cannot be appreciated I'M
I'll seen. Seeeing is all that is required to
make one enamored, and fall into hysterical
ecstacies over it. "Wetumble to the racket

No flower of faith shall bloom his sod above.
Although the sod by sorrowful hands be drest
Although the dust with tenderest tears be

A feebler light succeeds the new light

And weaker hands the strong hands crossed in

Our new, our untried leader-when he rose,
Though still old hatreds fed upon old

Death or disgrace had stilled the cry of

OF old who rallied us against our foes.
A soldier of the camp, we knew him thus:
No sanity champion, high above lis kind,
To follow with devotion mad and blind
He fought and Jared, essayed and erred with
And so, half-hearted, went we where he led;
And, following whittier beckoned his

And brought Linn all our faith-and found him

Draped Lincoln dead, one mouldering

The Trial of the Assassin.
TO TAKE PLACE SOON AT wAsHINGro,

The case of Guiteau will be submitted
to the Grand Jury of the District of
Columbia at Washington in few days,
and an indictment and trial will prompt
ly follow. 1t has been decided that the
trial must take place in the jurisdiction
where the crime was committed, rather
than IN New Jersey, where the Presi-
dent died.
Guiteau, when asked by the District
Attorney whom he desired to act as
counsel, asked that a telegram might
be sent to his brother-in-l law, George
NJ. Scoville, of Chicago. Guiteau also re-
quested Mr.. Scoville to obtain the assist
ance of some able lawyer, and suggested
the name of the Hon. Emory Storrs, of
Chicago.
Colonel Corkhill informed Guiteau
that his case would be the first one
given to the Grand Jury. There will
be about twenty witnesses to examine,
including some who saw the shooting,
and some of the attending surgeons to
testify as to the effect of the shot and
the subsequent death. Soon after
Guiteau will be brought before Judge
Cox, who will hold the criminal term,
to plead to the Indictment. While this
must be in open count, it is likely that
the time will be so chosen as not to at
tract general attention.
Guiteau himself is represented as fear
ing that he cannot be safely taken from
the Jail to the court and back during the
continuance of the trial. In this there
is very general impression that he is

Sunday school of st. Luke, Nh, n.
j., who was in the Calvary Catechism
class, taught by Miss s., and evil
IDENTIFY had reached the bottom facts oi
the lesson-the creation of man out OF
the dust of the earth-came running
home to her mother, over-full of conf
dence in the Scripture theory and her
own reflective conclusions, and ex-
claimed:
"Oh, mother, l know it is all true

"If I may be allowed" the young
wife began, with the deliberation of one
making mighty effort for self-control,
-" should like to say word" AS the
brave little woman surveyed the assem-
bled group, there crept into her face a
look that one of the party never forgot.
This one was her husband, who started
to lay OBTAINING hand on her arm, but
for some inexplicable reason gave it up.
"When take my rightful place as mis-
tress of my husbands house." Mrs.
Stickney went on, then it will be time
enough to talk of my duties. You may
consider me summer boarder, if you
please, she added, smilingly, "but in

and now the sweet mouth grew firm
again, and the fine eyes struck fire
"please remember that am the wife of

the owner of these acres, and expect to
be treated, if not with kindness, at least
with civility."

ty-five pounds of butter before break

could recover herself. Mr.. Stickney
played with his spoon, and looked stead
lily into his coffee-cup, but said not a
word.
You never will see me make twenty
five pounds of butter before breakfast" "
Mrs. Stickney responded, "and I think
it very doubtful ii / ever make any
butter after breakfast either. / don't
intend to give up my music, my paint
ing, my reading, my writing, or anything
else that have been educated to enjoy,
and I want this understood also."
81 wonder what you will do if l go
away?" Mrs. Mazonson inquired, du-
biously but respectfully.
"Mr. Stickney is abundantly able to
pay for all necessary service" Florence
replied. eff he doesn't choose to do
this, then there is last resort a.: can
go home to my father any time"
"I amt got anywhere to go" said
Mrs. Mazonson, now thoroughly sub
dued "but l suppose can find a
place in a few days, if [ may stay here
till then. Maria is going to her uncle's
tomorrow. The bassa-profundo was
all broken up, and tears rolled down the

she added, sweetly, "and see no reason

it were necessary I would, but it is not.
I shall never interfere with your butter

MONEY AND BRAINS. is told that
one of the suitors of n great heiress at
Saratoga had the bad taste to say to ner
that, as far as money went, if she
accepted him, the match would not be
so very unequal, as he had quite a
fortune of his own. She crushed him
with the answer, My good sir, | have
money enough now. What am look
ing for is man with brains" A girl
like that deserves to be rich.
