Whitley's opera house was crowded
last night with those anxious to partici-
pate in the Publication over, the great
and glorious triumph lately achieved
by everybody in general and nobody In
particular. This We say because nearly
every speaker Of the occasion diselaimed
the victory as belonging to him or his.
After the rendering of a lively air
by the Knights TempIer band,
which everybody enjoyed and
loudly cheered, Fl. E. Norton
stepped forward and called the meeting
TO order, and named J. MI McCown of
the Emporia Democrat, as president,
and Van r. Holmes, Frank Davis. NJ.
Maloney and T. G. Whitley as vice pres
Idents; secretaries, Geo. Kremer. and j.
ID. Holden.
Mr.. McCown then stepped 10 the front
and read letters and kilograms from The
following gentlemen who were unable
10 be present, but who felt and expressed
a deep interest in the event that was to
be celebrated and the celebra-
ton itself. The gentlemen were
Messrs. IL. Clay Park, Of the
Atchison Patriot; Hon. Thos. p. Fenlon
of Leavenworth; r. B. Morris, OF Atchi
son; John r. Goodin, Of Humboldt
and A. A. Harris. of Fort Scott
The chairman then delivered short
but quite eloquent address concerning
the victory over which so many had as
sembled to make merry. About two
months and half ago the Democracy
had met at the same place TO nominate
man for governor on their ticket, ant
now they come back to the same spo

me, and TO the mayor and to Senator
Plumb for the flatteTing words in which
they have mentioned me. | am afraid
thatthe kindness of the senator has been
rather too flattering to me, and that be
has used terms perhaps little too high
to be deserved. But this 1 can say, that
I have come out west with great

lions have been more than fulfilled
We have in our country for a very
long time followed, with the deepest in
terest, The progress and development of
which this country has been the scene.
On the very first beginning of the
American difficulties, in the time of our
great grand fathers, the names of Wash
ington and Franklin were as household
words even to our peasantry in the
small villages of our country, and
think we know a good deal more about
your Clays and Calhouus and Websters
and Summers than perhaps you do of
our statesmen. But l can hardly believe,
when / was boy, a young man and
made my first studies of American his
tory, that / should expect to be fortunate
enough to see with my own eyes your
cities of which ! have read so much,
and to see the boundless expanse of the
American continent. When I read
about the praIries-and we knew in the
first instance of them from Coeper's
novelist was as a land entirely desert
and laid out by Providence for eternal
time TO be the camping ground of the
Indian and the grazing ground of the
buffalo, and / believe there are good
many Americans who have been
under the same impression, that
this part of The United States
had no future. In Europe il has
been indeed q surprise TO hear Of the
vast riches of this country and that of |
all the marvellous development OF Amer |
lea that of this section in the present
period will for all time be made the |
most marvellous. The fact is that in the /
eastern part of the country il took two
centuries and a half t1 raise them from |

The Whitehall Times tells q good
story of a straight-laced and modest
collegian whose older sister called to
see HIM at his rooms. An elderly gen.
tleman called who had occupied the
same room fifty-three years previously.
To avoid any talk among the boys the
young man put his sister in a closet to
wait till the close of the visit. The old
man came in saying, after the usual
greetings: ''The same old view into
master's garden. Yes, the same old
view. The same old pictures, too;''
and he got up and tapped the frames.
'And L declare, the same old sofa. Dear
me l' Next he walked around the
room, stopping at the fireplace. "Same
old ~nantelplece !" Then he got to the
closet and turned the handle. "Same
old -" He had just opened the door,
when he caught the fiutter of a petit
coat, and suddenly closed it. "Ah p
said he, shaking his head, ''same old
games same old games l' "Sir I"
gasped the young man, ''sir that's my
sister. She-that is swell, 1 de-
clare! Same old lie | Same old lie !"

The rrlma Donna,s Adventure.

When Marie Sass was playing Queen
Selika in "L'Africaine," in Paris, she
was living at Enghein, and n night,
when numerous encore had prolonged
the performance until midnight, she
was in danger of missing the last train
out. So, not taking time to change her
dress, she wrapped herself in a large
cloak and fastened to the station just
In time to catch the train. She fell
into a doze in a corner of the compart-
ment, but was soon aroused by a horri-
fed shrek from her solitary fellow
traveller. Her cloak had slipped off,
and he, suddenly noticing her barbaric
attire, was scared nearly out of his
wits. With a cry of terror he pulled
the bell-rope furiously, stopped the
train, and insisted on the guard
giving him some other COM
partment than that occupied
by a wild woman" Marie Sass ex-
planned the matter to the guard, and he
told the passengers in the other car
riages, and all agreed that the joke was
good enough to excuse the delay in their
Journey.

Man may be an office holder in any
position from the chief magistracy- of
the nation down to that of the hum
blest police justice; but man can never
be the lady of the house. In her sphere
the lady of the house is supreme. She
is more than king. She is queen. She
is more than autocrat. She is the
supreme dispenser of the happiness or
misery Of the household. She rules
either in the graceful majesty of a low
ing and considerable soul or with the
maleyolent malediction of a scorpion.
She is either an angel of light or a
vixen according to her physical and
mental makeup. According to what
she says and the way in which she ys
it the family are lit up with sunshine or
~enshrouded in clouds of sulky gloom.
Not every woman knows it, yet it is
no less a fact that a woman can do al
most anything she pleases in ruling the
man who may happen to have the honor
of being her husband. There is an in
describable and boundless charm in the
CHEEKY voice OF a true won; n, just as
there is in her appearance. She may
not be arrayed in costly garments, or
even clad in the latest fashion, and may
yet have power by a look or a word to
subdue the upruly passions of an evil
and fiery man. But the woman who
expects to rule and subdue by unpleas-
antly asserting her intention to do so
makes a sorrowful failure of the at
tempt. She who greets husband or
children with cold formality and ex-
poets cheerful conversation in return
will be disappointed.
The wife who begins her attack on
the man she is supposed to love by tell
ing him what a coarse and graceless
sinner he is will not start him on the
path in which she desires him to walk.
She who has failed to win him to her
ways of thinking and acting will not
impress him with a sense of her lowell
ness by appearing in untidy costume
and letting him see that the charms and
graces which once compelled his adj
miration are things to which she now
attaches no Importance. AS soon as
the queen of the household begins to be
disagreeable she loses her power.-

Fashion.

Never before have the wraps been
bandsomer or more stylish than those
for the coming winter.
Decorative art in menus has gone to
the extent of having tiny birds in real
plumage fastened on the cards.
Very high candies are to decorate
dinner tables, and will suggest high
mass rather than II dinner party.
Dress sleeves are now made very close
to the arm, with the front half much
longer than that under the arm, and
this makes the armhole large and high,
giving freedom and comfort.
Young ladies will wear large round
hats Of velvet, with the crown of one
color and the brim of another. This
brim is turned down in front and is
rolled up on the left side and behind.
Some persons regard it as unlucky to
have ~peacocks' in the house, and per-
sist in that opinion in spite of all the
generation, admiration and excess of

Have you noticed that when you want
to take hold of anything, a bit of thread,
we will say-that it is always the thumb
who puts himself forward, and that he
is always Oh one side by himself, while
the rest of the fingers are on the other2
If the thumb is not helping, nothing
stops in your hand, and you do not
know what to do it. Try, by way of
experiment, to carry your spoon to your
mouth without putting your thumb to
it, and you will see what a long time it
will take you to get through with a
poor little plateful of broth. The thumb
is placed in such a manner on your hand
that it can face each of the other
fingers; one after the other, or all to-
gether, as your please, and by this we
are enabled to grasp, as with a pair of
pincers, all objects, whether large or
small. Our hands owe their perfection
of usefulness to this happy arrange
ment, which has been bestowed on no
other animal except the monkey, our
nearest neighbor.

The Bald

No barber was ever known to give a
bald-headed man a tip-top hair cut.
Charles Reade's hair is sparse at the
top of his head that very few would
like to put themselves in his place.
A Chicago paper speaks of a man with
a head as bald as a white marble table.
Next they will be speaking of men as
bald as a cuff-buttom.
No b~ald-headed man is taken into the
United States army as a recruit. This
rule has been adopted to conciliate the
friendly Indians. Nothing exasperates
an Indian so much as to kill a United
States soldier and then be deprived of
the satisfaction of scalping him. Such
an outrage on the friendly Indian is
calculated to goad them on to war. 1t
is at the request of the Indians that the
Secretary of War issued the order that
none but scalpable recruits should be
received into the army.
