A Dor's Funeral.

Mrs. Cole, q daughter of ex-senator
Thurman, Of Ohio, now mourns the
death Of pet dog as . fond mother
would the death Of beloved child. She
brought the dog from China. but the
transition from the Flowery kingdom
to Jamaica, L. l., was too much for
doggy, and he turned up his nose. Or
dinarily when u dog dies he is thrown
out to the scavenger. Not 80 with this
one. This precious thing must have not
only decent, but a sumptuous burial.
The village undertaken was employed to
arrange al the details. Millions Of chill
dren have been buried with less tender.
ness and consideration than were shown
this estimable dog. A casket Of walnut
was made to order. It had silver-plated
handles and holdings. The inside was
padded with cotton and lined with light
blue satin. His body was held in place
by the padding. The casket lid had
plate-glass set into it, and bore silver.
plated memorial tablet. This casket
was inclosed within . box Of oak. The
place of sepulchre was ex-Gov. McCor.
mick garden, in the shadow Of an ev-
ergreen. The funeral cortege was most
select, but there was no religious SER
vice, and the village church bells were
not tolled. With these exceptions It
was . most complete funeral. Whom
Mrs. Cole goes west in the fall the dogs
body Is to be disintcrred and sent to
Ohio, where it will be buried ID the plot
owned BY the Thurman family.

Feminine Peculiarities.

There are little peculiarities indiyidu-

and amusing. Why does, Z woman 10

That has puzzled many q masculine

accident, It it be SO called for want Of :

proceed ct once to chew their lips or
convulsively press them together in3the
intervals OF chewing? That proceeds
sometimes, from modesty which urges
them to- do something to divert ii eir
minds from tho masculine imprudence or
admiration, or it may suggest that tho

They wish to look angelic.

A Nihili,t's Confession.

An extraordinary story, which could
scarcely possess stronger title to dis
credit than the fact that St. Peters
burg correspondent sent it to P2fis
paper, has just been made public. The
story runs that , young nihilist called
upon the chief Of police in St. Peters
burg, . short time ago, and, on being
admitted to his presence. avowed him.
self member of . revolutionary party,
and stated that he had been sent to
warn the emperor that il he granted Z
constitution he need fear no conspiracy,
but that if he PERSISTED in his reactionary
policy nothing could save him. At this
point of the interview the police officer
seemed anxious to call in assistance,
but the young nihilist stopped him and
added: !" I do not wish to be subjected
to the indignity Of torture. In coming
here I have sacrificed my life. Icould
have killed you, but We do not commit
murder uselessly." With these words he
stepped back few PAGES. and knocked.
two large buttons, with which his cuffs
were fastened, against his forehead.
The buttons being full Of an explosive
substance, burst, and inflicted such
wounds on the young man that he ex-
pired in q few moments, leaving no
trace as to his identity.

The horse recognized his old master at

Of his affection. He placed his nose on

Growth Of Farming,

The pessinlists who arc constantly
prophesying disaster because Of the
growth: Of our American cities, which a.
they have been in the habit Of affirming.
is at the expense Of the rural and farm,
ing districts. will do well to consult the
figures in .. census bulletin just issued,
which gives the statistics OF farms in
thelUnited States. says the Boston Trav-
etler. From this bulletin it appears that
the number Of farms has increased from
1880, 600 in 1870 to LOCO, lin 1880, an
increase Of 81 per cent. When it is re-
membered that the increase Of popula-
ton was about so per cent. during the
same period this agricultural develop
ment is one Of the most striking facts
revealed by the census. This increase
has been the largest in the South, and
in the Northwestern and Pacific States.
For instance, the increase in Alabama
is 1O2 per cent, in Arkansas9l, in Flor
ida 129, in Georgia 50, in Louisiana 20,
in Mississippi SO, in North Carolina 68,
in South Carolina 81, in Texas 1856.
These figures, 50 Tar a. the South is con.
corned, are specially encouraging, indi-
eating as they do the social and indus
trial change that has taken place in, the
South since the war, xnd show the ex.
tent to which its once great plantations
have been cut up into small plantations
and farms. Turning to tho West We
find that farms in Iowa have increased
SO per cent, in Minnesota 80, in Ne
braska AS, in Oregon ia, In Californis
81. and in Dak0ta Territory 600 pet,
cent. This phenomenal increase has q
course been largely due to the rapid set
Element OF this portion Of tho country,
but in the older States where No find
the larger cities it is also found that the
increase Of farms has kept pace with
tho increase Of population, % that the
fears Of those who pirate about The. sb.
normal growth Of our large citiss, and.
tho dangers consequent thereon, are
groundless.

Earrisd : Year Ago.

6aIIl01 D 1o43 ago.
Quite sensation occurred at Dayton,
O., few days ago. Il appears that =
prosperous old farmer, who has lived
for more than twenty years about 4
mile north Of Lafayette, Ind, moved to
that city recently to get his daughter,
who Is described as q pretty petite bru.
nette Of II years Of age, away from one
of Lafayetts's young Washers. by the
name Of James A. Stanley. He (the
father). it is said, repeatedly enjoined
his daughter to break her acquaintance
with young Stanley. but could give no
reason for his wishes other than that he
had no confidence in dandified city
chaps. But the daughter had her hearts
affections located, and the old gentlo-
mans cntreaties were of no avail, and
the old gentleman was astute enough to
comprehend it; but being somewhat Of .
student OF human nature, he realized
that open opposition was worse than
encouraging the pair, 50 he, having .
good opportunity to sell his place, being
too aged to properly work it longer him
sell, moved to Dayton. He admits he
intended by so doing to break the
match that he feared.
Last Monday evening. as he stepped
out Of the house, the first thing that
met his gaze at the front gate was Miss
Nellie and her Lafayette beau. OF
course the old gentleman was aston.
ished, but he controlled his temper
handsomely.
STANLEY, what in creation brings YOU
here?" was his greeting.
II came for my wife, Mr.. Stewart, -
was the polite, but clinching reply.
''Your wife! Didn't know you had
one.''
.'Oh; yes; your daughter Nellie and
have been married nearly year now.
This certificate will show you the exact
date Of our marriage
''Well. I'll be gol darned1'' was all
the old gentleman had to say, % he
took the paper and walked into the
house.
Nellie and her husband soon followed.
Everything evidently was arranged be-
tween the happy pair and the. disap-
pointed father, as they seem TO- enjoy
each others company very much, and
it is said the lover ruse has so changed
the fathers regard for his daughter 8
choice that his dislike for him has
changed to admiration.

Political Notes from Junction City.

JUNCTION Cry, Sept. 29, 1882.
Editor EVENING LIGHT:
Yesterday "us rural fellows" we're permit
ted to vie " and hear part of the political men
agerie. Capt. Winfield Scott and DIR. l.. l..
Whitaker, candidates for the legislature in
this the S4,h district, addressed a large audi
ence at the court house. Capt Scot, is the
Bourbon nominee, and he howled about old
democratic antiquities after the usual manner:
he believed in tariff and he didn't believe in
tariff; he admired free whisky but would vote
for prohibition; he didn't favor herd law but
was opposed TO free grazing. He owned 20, :
600 acres OF land but was willing to sacrifice
$50 per day income to serve the dear peo-
pie, etc.
Next came DIR. Whittakar the independent.
In the main he advocated the important prin-
ciples of the republican party. but advanced
the broods views for the good of all.
In conclusion l will say that the people of
this country are Tree thinkers and thew are
tired of the old Bourbon rule; the voice of the
convention will not be recognized any further
as the voice Of the people.
Our county people would be glad to hear
