Those who are capable of forming n
reliable opinion Of Mrs. I.angtry say
hat she is the most unassuming and
lady-Iikc person; that her success on
the stage is due neither to her beauty,
which is not remarkable, nor to her
talent, for she is not great actress.
She has most winsome manner, and
imprcsses her audience with the idea
that she honestly wishes to please them
and be liked by them.

The Old Home.

A large proportion OF our girls who
read this, will some day love and marry.
1t is well; it is right; but do not be in a
hurry to be grown up and away from
home. Life will never give you any,
thing sweeter, better, happier, than You
have now, No love purer than your
mothers; no care more kindly than your
fathers: no companionship like that Of
your brothers and sisters. Even to the
man who loves you, you will not be the
little Lily who was baby once: who
learned to walk and prattle, and who
was prettier than any other baby ever
was; nor the little girl who was SO
wonderful q genius when she played
her first tune on the piano or worked
her first book-mark. He who falls in
love with you may have known twenty
other pretty girls, and have been,
perhaps, at some time, in love with half
Of them. In some things you will fall
short of some one he has known. Your
eyes will not be SO fine as those of Miss
Layina, and you will never make cake
as his mother does. Here at the old
home You have been perfection; even if
prudence kept your parents from say
ing SO, they cannot believe any one
quite SO nice rs "onr Lily" Then lin
ger little here, where some one else
shoulders the burdens and shields you
from LIES worry; where the love is a
love that does not change because Of q
new face; where the innocent days of
childhood have been passed-your first
and best home.

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES
OF the National Gsrcenback- Lab
Party. AhNMfen NJ lleS NsAinEA. is

OF the National ssrccnback- Labor
Party, Adopted NJ Dcs MOincs, 1851.
I. That we reaiiirm the principles OF our
party NJ declared at our convention in 1881.
2. We are opposed to the monopoly Of money
through the MISUNDERSTANDING system, and favor
the General Government issuing all currency,
making it full legal tender, and keeping its
creasing business and population.
). We are opposed to all refunding OF tho
tnterest-bearing national debt, which places it
beyond the power of the Government to pay ut
will and We demand that SAID debt be paid al
rapidly rs possible.
I; We favor the unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver OH equal terms.
s. We are opposed to the present system OF
allowing railroad and telegraph monopolies to
determine the rates for transporting persons OF
property over railroads, OF for tho use OF tele.
graphs, and hold that all corporations created
by law should be governed by law in the inter-
est of the people, and we regard the Iowa Rail-
road Commission as willtul and intentional
Lindrance to that end.
g. We are opposed to the monopoly Of land,
and demand that all public lands, including
those forfeited by Noncompliance with law,
shall be held for actual settlers.
T. We hold that the representatives Of labor
have the right to combine to protect oil their
constitutional rights, and that they should be
protected by law in the exercise OF that right
Z. That our patent laws for the granting
patents should be 80 amended az to prevent
courts from assessing damages against inno-
cent purchasers, who in open market purchase
any patent article which may BIO an infringe

tanning tho relief by them demanded at the

Poor Bill.

Ludicrons things will sometimes

venture to give the following, hoping
that it may not displease the most
proper:
At the funeral Of certain wcll-known

usual harmless diversion Of eulogizing
the deceased-only reading the regular
burial ritual. The omission was noticed

parted. :'Poor Bill" sail he, as he

The Language OF Insects.

An English scientist has made the
surprising discovery that flies have a
language of their own, inaudible to I'M.
aided human ears, though, no doubt,
distinctly audible to the ears Of insects.
This is not the buzzing tone common to
all flying insects, which is produced by
the rapid movement of their wings, and
is but mere incidental effect, as mean.
ingless as are the sounds of our foot
falls while we are walking and convers-
ing with friend; but it consists oi
other tones made voluntarily, no doubt
for the purpose of limited communica.
zion with one another. This discovery
was made by means Of the newly invent
ed microphona, while magnifying the
tramp of fly, walking on table, till it
sounded as loud as that of horse pass
ing over wooden bridge. BY close
observation during these experiments,
sounds were heard different from those
Of it, footballs and wings. which proved
70 be its trumpeting- calls, issuing from
its proboscis, resembling somewhat the
distant whinnying Of horse. Such are
some Of the results Of that marvellous in.
strument which acts for the ear of man
as the microscope does for the eyA-
tcieatifc iseD0rter.
