Nebraska'S New Senator.
Chicago Journal.

General Charles II. Van Wyck, of
Otoe county, Neb., was on yesterday
elected United States senator by the
republicans of the legislature of that
state, as the successor Of Mr.. Paddock,
whose term will expire on the 9Th of
March next. General Van Wyck, in
boyhood, worked upon his fathers
farm in New York, and afterward
graduated at Rutgers College, New
Jersey. He adopted the profession
of law, and very soon after his admis-
sion to the bar was elected and re-
elected district attorney. In 1858 he
was first elected to congress from New
York by a majority of 1900 in district
which at that time had a democratic
majority of over 1900. In 1860 he was

The Pennsylvania Industrial Home for
Blind Women.

The Pennsylvania Industrial Home
for Blind Women, located at Powelton
and Saunders avenues, West Philadel-
phla, is IN every way one of the most
deserving charities of that charitable
city. The Home was established in
1868, on a donation of $500, for the
purpose of providing refuge for those
women deprived of their sight who
were unable by reason of their poverty
to pay for instruction that would en-
able them to earn living. The loca-
ton selected at that time-NO. 1929
Locust street-although an excellent
one and we'll adapted for the purpose,
soon became insufficient to accommO-
date the rapidly increasing family, and
it was determined to build more
cOmmodious asylum, which was duly
accomplished, the new buildings being
occupied in November last.
The new Home will accommodate
between sixty and seventy-five persons.
For their comfort everything is amply
provided, and although deprived of
one of the greatest blessings, the in
mates are as happy and contented as
can be imagined A regular routine of
work is performed daily. Crochet work,
as perfect almost as that performed by
those who have the use of their eyes, is
one Of the many things made. Stock

from wooden yarn are knitted with sur
prising dizziness and care. Basket.

Ex-Governor Pollock and Miss A. Hill
laye-in fact, all the officers and di-

temporal comfort of the inmates, and
they look to the public for substantial

ity.
So successful have the efforts of the
managers been in making the time pass

reelected to Congress, and entered the
army in 1861 and remained to the
close, serving in the army of the Poto-
mac and the department of the South.
In 1866 he was again elected to Con-
gress from New York and reelected in
1868. Over twenty years ago General
Van Wyck, with some colOnists from
Orange county, \. Y, came to Nebras-
ka. At Davenport, Iowa, an outfit was
purchased, and tedious overland
journey made through Iowa. The
colony located just across the Missouri
river, near the now fiourishing town Of
Nebraska City. Here, on a beautiful
roll of land, General Van Wyck select
ed building site, and marked the pre-
else spot where, sixteen years later, he
built his home. 1t was after the loca-
ton of his friends and neighbors from
New York on Nebraska soil that General
Van Wyck was elected the fourth time
from a New York district to congress.
During this latter service in congress
he was the staunch friend of Nebraska,
and in one especial case, by vote,
speech and personal solicitation rem
dered Omaha the service of aiding to
secure an appropriation for the hand
some government building which it
possesses. During this term of Gen
eral Van Wyck's service in congress he
was often called the "other member
from Nebraska" Shortly after the
close of his last term in congress,
General Van Wyck removed to Ne
braska, erected house on the spot
selected sixteen wears before, and en-
larged a farm which he had commenced
so long ago to develop with an old-fash-
toned breaking pillow, propelled by six
yoke of oxen. This farm, of over 800
acres, is now one Of the most beautiful
in the state. General Van Wyck was
member of the constitutional conven-
ton of 1875, and has since been three
times elected to the state senate, and
has there earned the distinction of in
augurating numerous and the most val
liable reforms in the public service of
the state.

WHAT WILL THE REV YEAR
BRING

. Oh what will the New Year bring me ,"
Sang a bright-eyud little boy,
As he paused mid his childish playthings-
The source of many a joy.
= Say quickly, mamma dear:
Win it bring me toys and candies,
As it brings me every year!
The mother glanced at her darling,
And breathed a silent prayer
That the New Years gift for her darling
Might be unmixed with care.
- Oh. what will the New Year bring mel"
Said a timid, happy bride,
And she glanced with look of pleasure
At the husband by her side
. Oh, what will the New Year bring me,
As it speedeth on its way!
VIII it bring fresh joys and roses
For each succeeding day J"
But the mothers look was fearful
As she glanced at her daughter fair,
For she knew in the outward pathway
Was hidden many snare.
Oh, what Will the New Year bring mel p
Said feeble. weak old man.
- I've tasted all earth's pleasures,
And life is but a span.
Oh, what will the New \ ear bring me,
Now l am growing old,
And few are the charms that bind me,
For my days are almost told =
All, what the New Year bringeth,
Thy eyes may never see;
For Il narrow mound ON the hillside
Is the only gift to thee.

The Cars New Wife and Her Eldest
LONDON W Orld.

The eldest child of the princess is
sick nigh unto DEATH" With natural
boyish spirit, the youngPrince Boris, de-
string to have a game of snow-balls, his
mother was too anxious about him to
give the permission asked His father,
recalling his own boyish days, favored
the desire Of the lad, and he was taken
in a carriage to the school of the pages,
where he amused himself to his hearts
content. Thence he was taken to the
palace in the Kaimeninoshof; and
here he appears to have got his feet
wet A chill thus taken was followed
by fever, which still continues.
1t is said that the princess is begin
ming to assume a role in the game of
politics, instigated thereto by the in
sidious counsel of a certain count, who
is her mortal enemy, and thinks thus
to assure her fall. But some who know
the count doubt his capacity to origin
ate such an artful plan.
The princess is innocent of court
etiquette, probably from having been
always secluded from general society;
and it is narrated that when the en-
peror's faithful henchman, Count Milu-

waiting for the imperial initiative in
these cases de TegLe.
1t is dat afgaseao for every one in the
presence Of the emperor to wear the
insignia of the "orders" of which he
is the possessor. The medical atten-
dant on the young Prince Boris has
accordingly always worn his "orders"
when he came to the palace to see his
patients. STOPPING down close to the
lad to hear his breathing, one OF these
insignia must have become entangled
in the princes hair, for as the doctor
raised himself cry of pain was heard.
The emperor, agitated exclaimed
against the folly of wearing such things.

Princess Turlef (Dolgorouki) as his
wife to various ladies holding official
positions at the imperial court.
