Judge Graves has won new laurels in
in Emporia by the firm and admirable
manner in which he is conducting the
whisky cases over which he is presiding
in the district court. He seems to real
ize that it is the province OF a true jurIst
to conserve rather than strive to defeat
the ends of the law.

MIR. Richard A. Proctor, the astrono-
mer, writes to the New York Herald
During my recent journey across
the western states from Kansas City
through Denver, Cheyenne, Ogden, and
San Francisco, and back TO Cheyenne
and Omaha through St Joseph to Kan
sas City, ] was much stuck by the sin
gular resemblance between the contig-
uration of the North American CONT
nent and that of the moons surface rs
seen with good telescopes. The journey
from Missouri to the Rocky Mountains
is usually considered monotonous $50
much so, indeed, that one station near
the western border of Kansas has re-
ceived the suggestive name of Mo-
notony.) But | found those wide
spread plains mot strictly level but
slightly undulating) covered with prai-
RE grass, rs impressive in their way as
the Rocky Mountains themselves. THE
undulations, let me note, resemble
those of sea crossed by two or more
series of wide and gentle undulations. J
The rise from Kansas City to Sherman,
s ,234 feet from the sea level, is so grad
ual as to be almost impe.ceptible, ex-
cept near Sherman, and the aspect of
the country changes much less than
one would expect. The chief change
in the character of the more level parts
arises from the difference in the char
acter of the vegetation the prairie grass
being replaced at a higher level by buff
falo grass, and that in its turn mt a higher
level by sage brush, These broad I'M
dulating regions, gradually slantlng up
ward to the foot of the Rocky Noun
tains, strikingly resemble the great So
called seas on the moon, bordered by
ranges Of mountains, beyond which lie
the regions of great volcanic craters.
These lunar seas, with their prevalent
dark tints, are among the most striking
features of the moons surface, and,
rightly apprehended, Indicate former
condition Of the moon, resembling that
now prevailing on the earth. They
show that the moon, though now arid,
had once seas, sucn as our earth has at
present. The slow processes of change
by which the lunar seas were turned to
dry land, are taking place now, though
on a larger scale (but even more slowly
on the earth. The lunar surface much
more nearly resembles that of the New
World than that of Europe, Asia, Afri-
CO, or Australasia"

the wholesale greetings of the walters

the wholesale greetings of the walters
are usually ignored. There is consider
able competition in this matter of "cash-
girls" among the different cafetiers, and
as pretty girls are not at all rare III
Vienna the result is often admirable.
Female walters, on the other hand are
rarely seen in Nienese cafe or
restaurant, the reason being that the
male walters are so good that they have
acquired a European reputation. and
are in demand all over the continent
They are not SO slow rs the Italians,
and not so insolent and conceited as
the Germans. In Berlin the swallow
tailed waiter is so overbearing that a
comic paper could hardly be accused
of exaggeration when it made a tourist
admonish one Of these august indivldu-
ais not to be so stuck up, for in these
uncertain times a reverse of fortune
might easily take place and reduce him
to to the humble position of a guest,
and then he would be sorry for his
former conduct.

4 Lone Man in the Mountains.

David Gorrel, known all over that
section of Berks county, Pennsylvania,
as the old Blue mountain hunter and
hermit, is about 20 years of age, and
has lived on the mountain in solitary
manner over half century. His cab
in is located about five miles from the
nearest farmhouse. GorrelPs custom
was always to appear II the nearest
village in autumn, lay in IA stock of gro
ceries and provender, and then disap-
pear, not to be seen again until spring.
His log cabin is we'll filled with skins of
animals. A huge fireplace occupies
one end of the only room in the place.
Nothing was seen or heard of the old
man until the other day, when two
woodmen and charcoal-burners passed
near the cabin. Everything looked
cherries and deserted. No smoke is
sued from the chimney. When they
returned IN the evening, they again
noticed that no smoke arose, and they
forced the heavy oak door and gained
entrance. There upon bed Of skins
lay old Gorreli, more dead than alive,
nearly frozen and starved. The old
man positively refuses to leave his
habitation on the mountain, saying that
his desire is to live in solitude all his
days. His sufferings were terrible for
at least seventy days.

and abomlnably overdressed; but
mothers with manageable daughters
could not make enough of him. He
did not talk much, and would have
got through dinner well enough but for
one unlucky slip into which the kind
ness of the hostess betrayed him. He
ate but little, and refused one dish
after another; and the hostess, after
trying to tempt his appetite in vain,
said she believed she must give HIM

similar way to not only all our large
cities, but also TO interior towns and

The ContsctionerS J0uraal has COM
piled some statistics of the trade which
are worthy of attention. BY those who

garding the value of this crop il will

last year to 100000 bushels, which at
prices realized to first hands, reaches
an aggregate of s., 10000, The crop
is principally raised i'll Virginia, which
last year produced siyy per cent. of
the entire consumption. The crop is
harvested IN October, beginning little
earlier in Virginia Tennessee pro-
duces about thirty-tiye per cent, of the
crop annually sold, and North Caro-
lima about five per cent. Peanuts are

ton, the amount so produced being

ed in New York and hereabouts come
chiefly from Virginia, while those from

Simplicity i'm Dress.
Miss Oakley in Harpers Magazine,

Our young girls in America do not
seem to have the sense Of the beauty of
simplicity in dress. No young girl
looks as young or az lovely in heavy
velvets and loaded trimmings as in
simple muslin and soft materials. They
detract from their own fresh charms
by calling attention 10 their adorn-
ments. | should be inclined to say
that no jewels, unless a single row of
pearls about the throat, no lace but
simple Valenciennes, should be worn
by any girl younger than twenty-one.
A dress perfectly fresh, light in color
where the complexion permits), beau
tifully cut, and almost entirely untrim-
med, can not be improved upon for a
young girl. 1t is the sweet, rounded
form, the dewy bloom of the cheek,
the clear young eyes, the soft, tender
lips, that we want to see. Where silks
are worn they should not be Of heavy
quality, but soft Our young girls wear
dresses ike dowagers. 1t is a futile
waste Of money; no beauty is attain
