When They Found Her Dead.

Children are the sunshine of ifa
They are the soft wind which thaws
away the snow and ice of selfishness.
They are the atmosphere in which old
age finds hours of youthfulness. On
Prospect street lived an old woman
who made herself terror to every
child who passed her door. Her house
was old and grim. The dark curtains
were always down, the doors were sell
dom opened, and no child passed it
without fearing the evil spirit that
seemed to lodge there. The old wom-
an cursed any one who dared peer
through the fence, and if seen abroad
she was carefully avoided.
A few days ago the children saw the
inside of her house tor the first time.
The old woman had been found dead,
and men and women had assembled to
respect her cold clay. With them
came the children. They were the
first to forget what she had been, and
the first to shed tears over the close of
her earthly career. Men and women
were satisfied when the body had been
dressed for the grave, but the children
brought flowers and laid them on her
grizzly hair until she seemed to wear q
crown of glory; they placed a beauti-
full lily in her bony fingers, a green
vine over her breast, and when the cur
tain was raised and the sunshine
streamed in and fell upon the dead, men
and women said:
''It is the face of mother and a
woman. and we were too harsh with
her. Let God remember that she was
all alone and had much to endure.''
The work of the children had robbed
death of its look, and melted frozen
hearts, and as they stood around the
bier and sang:
Yes, wen gather at the river
That flows by the throne Of God"
Men pressed each others hands anc
whispered:
"WOuld that our hearts would always
be the hearts of children. ''-Detros

Marquette train had pulled out of the
depot yesterday noon young man with
a grab-bag in his hand and a cigar in his
mouth sauntered in as if he had half an

"The deuce! Why, l was to 60 on
that train!''
"Well, you didn't"
"That's so, and I'm placed in an en-
barrassing situation. l was to be mar
ried to a girl up the road tonight. No
other train, I suppose?"
"No, sir.'
"And I can't get THEREOF
s'Perhaps you could hire locomo.

"Ah! perhaps I could. I'll finish my
smoke and go and see about it,
After the end of his cigar had been
reduced until the fire warmed his nose,
th0young man went up stairs and said
to the Superintendent:
"Could you, ah, for about five or six
dollars, ali, give me locomotive as far
as Flint, ah?''
"No, sir.''
"Ah, you can't? Well, that's bad
ish. I was to have been married at six
o'clock this evening. 1 might say seven

"And you might say seven times

"Couldn't do it-'pon honor, I
couldn't, though I'll 90 down and smoke
another cigar and perhaps make you
another offer after a time.''
He lit another cigar and paced up and
down, and all at once began hunting
his pockets. He shortly pulled out a
notebook and after running over the
leaves he approached the ticket-seller
and said:

"How?"
"Here it is, just as wrote it down

European residents in China have
recently founded several daily papers in
the vernacular, and it is said that their
circulation grows rapidly. They con-
tain leading articles, general and local
news, legal reports at great length, and
in fact nearly all the features of Euro
pean newspapers. Not long ago adver-
tisements were unknown to Chinese
journalism, but now they are published
in large numbers. Its thought that the
superstitious conservatism of the people
will not be able to stand long against
the information and ideas diffused by
the new press. -. a

In all these things there are great diff.
ferepces in individuals, but there is no
evidence on record attainable to show
that the difference separates along the
line of the sex, and it is not0ri0asly the
woman and not the man who is deceived
by the soft manners and oily pretensions
of the quack; it is the woman always
who is overcome by the hypocritical
.unctions of the Rev. Honeymans.
And now we reach the most decided
test of all. The most important event
in the life of q woman is the selection of
q husband. In nothing else would the
power of intuitional perception have q
better opportunity to evince itself, or be
of greater service to the possessor.
This may be fairly called critical
see that the theory falls to the ground
utterly. That men, who confessedly
are without intuitions, often make sad
mistakes in selecting their life-compan-
ions we all know; but do they err as
frequently as women do? Men are often
fascinated by bad women, deluded
by selfish, wrong-hearted women; but
of all hopelessly blind creatures there is
none to equal q young woman enam-
ored of an unworthy man.
Sometimes it is a smooth and plausi-
BILE rake; sometimes a snowy, innately-
vulgar fellow, with bad habit and afro
cious tastes; sometimes a man whose
fiber is coarse, and who is sure to de-
velop into brutal and tyrannicar mas
ter; sometimes it is a man whose cold
and selfish heart is for the moment con-
cealed under the affectation of sympathy
and affection. In whatever guise it
comes, the woman, in majority of
instances, is utterly deluded.
She fails to see the mask, or to detect
the real character that it hides. She
refuses to listen to reason; she will not
believe the wise cautions of her friends;
she rejects evidence; she will not listen
to admOnitiOns or warnings; she insists
upon trusting to her intuitions, so called,
and as q consequence, her happiness is
wrecked for life. It is monstrous for
people who ought to know better to talk
of womanly intuitions in the face of
facts like these. They do incalculable
injury.
Instead of showing that reason is the
only safe dependence, that all persons
must be wary of hasty impressions, that
one can not trust any guide but sound
judgment, young women are brought up
with the notion that they are endowed
with special talisman; that they pos
sess an occult. mysterious, shorthand
method of getting at facts; that they
are not obliged to sift evidence and
srp1 ,sv or hut hnr 30
trust implicitly to certain impulses or
instincts; and as result they too fire.
quently make appalling and irretrieva-
bic mistakes.
There was never more unfounded,
brazen, audacious humbug than this
theory of womanly intuitions, and, as it
is infinitely mischievous, those who adj
wise it ought to be brought sharply to
the bar of q revised public opinion

THE action of the citiz ms meeting lass
night in the matter Of securing the st. LDui
& Tsxss narrow gaugs railroad TO this place,
was v r,uslly the salvation of our prospective
prosperity. This cdmpels the Gould interest
to bring to Dallas TIE E.s' Line road from
Sulphur Springs, and will probably eveutu-
ate in the reduction of passenger
fares from s cents to
cents per mile and corresponding
reduction of freight tariffs. Had this road
been suffered to go to Fort Worth the East
Line would also have gone there to the
great detriment oiour city. Considering the
parties managing the business for the road
and the city, it ia expected that the arrange
ments will at once be carried out il
the most perfect good faith ana
in the speedisst manner. This settles ,h,
question as to what point 10 all this rich
region of north Texas is to be the gres
future railroad centre Of this state. The peo
pie Of Dallas are TO be congratulated Oh tn,
result.

AFREleH1 COMBINATION.
The Two Northwesterns Gobble the Black
Hills Freight.

The Two Northwesterns Gobble the Black
Hills Freight.
Sioux City Journal.
When the Northwestern track reached
tho Missouri opposite Fort Pierre it
found three great freighting lines con-
trolling the carrying business between
the river and the Black Hills. These
freighting lines were managed by Fred
Evans. Daugherty & Co., and Bramble &
Miner respectively. Instead of forming
an alliance with one of these frelghting
companies, or delivering freight to ali
on equal basis, the Northwestern rung in
cold deck on the game in this wise {:
The Northwestern Transportation
company was called over from the
Bismarck and Deadwood route by
the promise of a monopoly of the through
freight and passenger business between
the end of the track and the Hills. Any
other company could carry freight If
they chose, but they must pay local rates
between Chicago and the Missouri, q
rate that practically shut off opposition,
and gave the game into the hands of
the Northwestern transportation COM
pany. The freight billed through from
Chicago to Black Hills points all went
through from the end Of the track by
the Northwestern transportation com.
pany alone.
The three great freight lines naturally
object to this summary eviction from
business and an arrangement has within
the past few days been perfected which
will allow them to compete on equal
terms for the business. The arrangement
is this: Eastern freight bound to the
Hills will be carried at q low special rate
not made public to Running Water un
til the track is finished to Chamberlain
and then to that point. At Running Wa
ter or Chamberlain the freight will b,
loaded on the Rucker line of boats ani
forwarded to Pierre. There the thre,
great freighting lines aforesaid will tax,
charge Of it and forward it to its destin
alton. The arrangement will bring th,
Milwaukee into competition with tn.
Northwestern for all Black Hills bust
ness, and will give Sioux City shippers
through route to the Hills.
