Hon. c. e. Faulkner, President q
the Topeka, salins 4 Western rail-
road, returned nom Boston lest Sun.
day morning. A II well known Mr.
Faulkner and Judge Stafford, Of Tope.
ka, have been east some time endeav-
Oring to perfect arrangenients for the
construction Of the line Of road start
ing from Leavenworth and running
west via Topeka, Council Grove. Sail
ma and Lincoln Center, To Delhi, in
Osborne county. Their efforts have
been met by the combined opposition
Of the Union Pacific and Santa Fe
railway companies, the officials Of
these companies having Joined in the
incorporation ofa rival company which
they declare will build . road over the
line occupied by the surveys Of the
Topeka, Salina 4 Western company.
This threat, and the depression follow
ing the attempted assassination Of the
President have embarrassed and re-
tarded the effort to secure the requisite
capital to construct the road, but il Ii
now thought that sufficient progress
has been made to justify the belief
that with strong pull on the part of
the business men Of the cities and
towns interested sufficient subscrip-
tons to the capital stock Of q syndi-
cate now being organized by Boston
and New England parties to build the
roads will be secured. Assurances
come that Leavenworth and Topeka
are wide awake in the matter, and IL
the former city adds her support to that
given by the territory west by extend
ing the aid proposed in the pending
proposition to be voted upon on the
10th inst. and liberal private efforts
are made, success will be assured. The
proposed line is of great importance to
the commercial and agricultural inter-
ests of Kansas. Its construction will
save to Kansas an immense trade
which now passes beyond her borders,
and will also develop the resources of
a part of our State unexcelled in fer
tility. The progress of efforts now be-
ing made will be watched with deep
interest by our people. Mr.. Faulkner
returns next week.

What Was the Dialect?

If you don't know how to say in o 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 Iunder-
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
we'll. But there are always two impress
sions made by an address 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 I thought that ]
detected faint traces of the Teutonic
tongue in some of the words. "-Youth'a 8

pea,h OF senator Carpen1er.

United States Senator Matthew Fl. Carpenter,
of Wisconsin, died at Washington, February
"a, of Bright's disease of the kidneys. He
had been out 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 resident of Mil
waukee, but native of Vermont, having been
born at Moretown, in that State, in 1924. His
attention was first turned toward military ca
reer, and he spent two years C1843 49, 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 a 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 a second
time, and had not served quite half his term,
which would have expired March 8, 1885. Mr..
Carpenter was a man Of positive convictions,
great energy, and shrewdness. His ability, il
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 its
| most sagacious leaders.

The Home of Mark Twain.

In letter from Hartford, Ct, to the
Burlington Qowa) Haaokeye, Mr.. X. j.
Burdette writes:
f'I think have never been in q home
more beautifully homelike than this pal
ace of the king of humorfsts. 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 a tint
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 IL
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 af
his brighter flashes, and once in a while
there is in his voice an infection of won
derful pathos, so touched with melan
choly that, you look into the kind, earnes
eyes to see what thought has touched
his voice. And he has heart rs big a.
his body; believe there does not live {
man more thoroughly unselfish and self
forgetful. Two little girls and bo,
baby, bright eyed, good tempered, ant
with a full head of hair as brown as hi
fathers, assist Mrs. Clemens to fill tn,
heart of the reigning humorist, and the.
do it most completely. Personally, Mr.
Clemens is, perhaps, little above th'
medium height, of good Symmetrical
physique, brown hair, scarcely touches
with gray, that curls over high, whit
forehead; friendship in his eyes, heart,
cordiality in the grasp of well shaped
white hand, strong enough and heav.
enough to be a manly hand; his age j
forty something, and he looks thirty-five
in the evening after the lamps are lighted
his face has boyish look, and he loves
good cigar even better than Gran
J does"

Representative Robinson, Of Union County,
offered resolution which was adopted, which
provided for the appointment Of q committee
of five members Of the House to investigate
and ascertain whether any monopoly exists in
the manufacture and sale, either wholesale or
retail of school books, the various prices at
which such books are sold, what combination,
if any, exists between dealers, and to ascertain

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 q housekeeper, and especially If
called upon to do the greater part of the
work, she might Just as well be unsdu-
Gated; that her requirements at school,
if not uniting her for it, 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-
derly is no proof of the proposition. So
far as my own observation goes-and
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 whohas been taught accuracy by
q course in chemistry, who has had her
eyes enlightened by the study and prac-
hce 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.
Ii 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 q very hap
py woman; she will have so much to
think about when her hands are full OF
work which does not demand much di-
rection. She will 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 few was q
.bug," an object of detestation to be
stepped on or put into the stove az
quickly as possible. Our modern wise
woman knows better; she quietly brings
out her bottle of benzine or ether, &
pasteboard box, captures the insect, putt
him to sleep, and soon has a collection
which. when mounted and put in {
simple frame, is a handsome ornament
for her home. IF it was ever true that
little learning is a dangerous thing fol
woman, that day has passed.-IA'

MIR. Carlisle offered o resolution expressing
sympathy with the people of Ireland in their
patriotic struggle for liberty, equality and JUS
dce.
Mr.. Sinks introduced . bill to authorize the
erection OF soldiers monument in Msntgom-
cry County, and to submit to the voters of the
county the question Of levying q tax for that
purpose. Mr.. Sinks also introduced bill to
authorize the building Of public avenue from
the city of Dayton to the Soldiers Home.
Senator Eggleston introduced bill to au-
thorize railroad companies to construct, nc
quire maintain, and operate telegraph lines for
commercial purposes. This bill will perhaps
turn out to be one of the most important intro
duced this session. 1t provides for abundant
competition in the telegraph business, which
would undoubtedly be more efectud in reduc-
ing and cheapening rates than any legislation
that can be enacted.
Senator Marriott offered o resolution provid-
ing that the General Assembly adjourn sine die
on the 21st of March. The resolution went
over under notice to discuss.

Air. Chapman submitted the report from the
Select Committee appointed at the last session
to investigate cooperative life insurance COM
panles. Ihe committee was engaged during
the vacation in making the investigation, and
accumulated an immense mass of testimony,
which was submitted with the report. The re-
port, together with the testimony, was ordered
printed in advance of other matter. The re-
port is a long one, and the committee has en-
bodied the conclusions it contains in o bill,
which will be introduced at an early day. The
committee believes that mutual or cooperative
life insurance companies may, when managed
by honest men, do well-espeeially when the
policy holders do not live too long.
House joint resolution by Mr.. Reed, of Ross,
authorizing the Board Of Public Works to re-

A girl named Noster, near Coschocton, Ohio,
aged sixteen years, whose mother is in the in
sane asylum, objected to her father taking to
himself as housekeeper and her directress q
woman of easy virtue, and for her pains her
father beat her numerically with raw-hide
and pounded her over the head. The girl had
the unnatural father arrested, and in Court ex-
hibited the horrible evidence of his brutality.
Her back was literally raw from the awful
whipping, and one side Of her head colored
from bruises. Noster was bound over to Court.

At masked .fete of the students Of the
Academy of Painting at Munich the costumes
Of some of the students caught fire and four
students were burned to death and eight seri-

accident was due to one of the artists, dressed

terror among others similarly attired. Four
Germans were burned to death, and four were

A dispatch from Madison, Wis, says. ''The
death ofSenator Carpenter will make impossi-
BILE for the Republicans to control the organiza-
ton of the next Senate Immediately npon its
assembling, even if Malone or David Davis
vote with them, for the Wisconsin Legislature
can not constitutionally fill the vacancy prior
to the second Tuesday after receiving notice
from the Governor of its existence. Hence no
election can take place before March 8, and it
will probably be delayed beyond that date as a
number of powerful competitors for.the success

who has been elected to succeed Senator Angus
Cameron, comes from Eastern Wisconsin, and
