GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
The INnfe an tha Ring.

The Date i'm the Ring
The women dressed her for farewell
In snowy silk and lace;
crown Of braided hair they set
Above her quiet face,
And on her placid breast they laid
White roses Is became maid.
e9er mother bent and kissed her lips,
And kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair.
And, weeping, saw on one ring,
little golden, timeworn thing.
She took 1t from the icy hand
And looked for rhyme or name,
something to say why 1t was there,
From whose fond thought 1t came.
She only saw. through many tear,
date long past--dsy, month and year.
Twas some schooIfellow's gift" ahe sighed,
Tho child forgot to show"
dput it back in its own place
With tender touch and slow;
And saw its tiny glitter rest
Like sunshine on that quiet breast.
All, little ring, you kept II well,
The secret Of your datel
Whate'er it's meaning, it goes untold
Beyond the earth and fate:
Pain or blessing-who can say
How much Of either in it lSyS
We watch the light IN our darline's eyes.
Inc lines that the SOW years bring,
Yet know as little Of what thew mean
Aa the secret Of the ring.
Joy or sorrow-God only knows
hoW mucn Of both lies under the rose

The Cost of n Sidewalk Beauty.

The Carrolton (Mo) Journal says:
The girl who saves all her kisses for her
husband, and risks final rupture with
her sweetheart rather than compromise
her stand for prudence, will be the wife
whose sweetness will not grow stale with
her husband and whose honeymoon will
never end. Respect, even with the i'm
pulsive lover, will grow stronger with
woman's barrier against unwarranted IA
miliarty. The young man who can't
put up with his sweetheart's resolution
to be absolute mistress of her prudence is
unworthy Of her countenance, and the
sooner she gives him the grand bounce
the faster will she rise in the eyes of her
own and all sensible peoples respect.

obedience to all of natures laws, includ-
ing of course all moral laws, is neces-
sary to perfect health and perfect noble
ness of character.
By obeying all the laws which relate
to the healthy action Of the body and
the mind, noble character and a
healthy body may be formed. Any de-
Walton from right will be sure to be fol-
lowed by suffering. A boy who care
fully heeds the advice of good and wise
parents, who avoids bad company, who
never INDUCES in bad habits of any sort,
who cultivates purity, honesty and
manliness, is certain to grow up into a
noble, lovely youth, and to become an
intelligent, respected, virtuous man.

The English NIatrOn.

In England it is the dowager
and mature matron who is au-
toorat of everything. 1t is said,
IN legendary way, that the Briton
rules his house; but that is as true as
other legends, and no more than they.
The will of the intelligent wife is abso-
lutte law, and her advice is held as real
wisdom, and her suggestions are hon
ored quite beyond the belief of an Amer
loan, who speaks contemptuously of the
"old woman" or the "meddling old
girl ;" and yet the advanced matron of
the mother country is far less youthful
In her thought, manner, pleasure and
appearance than the American lady. who
Ms of the same age, the same freedom
from lmportuning cares, and the same
exemption from sorrow. The TRANQUIL
Atles that come to the American are in
consequence of ripening process rather
than decaying one. The composure of
the average English woman it is not
hypercritical to mention as o refined
quality of stupidity, or perhaps, to be
more just and courteous, of torpidity.
The furniture OF her mind becomes cum
bersome, if not immovable, with age !;
therefore, she cannot be stirred to social
innovations, and in her hand lies the
balance of power. In fact, the English
woman, by nature and habit, is medite-
tive rather than contemplative, which
makes the old easier and more agreeable
to her than the new; hence, to the aver
age feminine authority, novel amuse-
ment, if considered at all, is carefully
examined, ana, if it be approved, it is
added to those pleasures that have
already been consecrated, but it must
not displaoe or even modify them. "To
modernize is to vulgarize," is what the
English authorities teach their followers,
and nobody wishes to be mentioned as
doing just that, even though in the Sc
oret places of thought he may desire to.
1t may be admitted that to be unconven-
tional, even in few things, would be
bliss imme ,surable to a visitor.

Good Taste Among the Mighty.


The more I think about the elephants.
the more wonderful they seem to be.
The great, clumsy creatures are SO very
knowing, SO very loving, and SO like hui
man beings in many Of their qualities.
They know their power well, and they
also know just when they must not use
it. Deacon Green tells me that keepers
and trainers of elephants often lie down
on the ground and let the huge fellows
step right over them; and that they feel
perfectly safe in doing so, because they
know the elephants will pick their way
carefully over the PROSTATE forms, never
so much as touching them, still less
treading on them. Yet the mighty
creatures can brush man out of exist
ence as easily as a man can brush fly
away. And what delicate tastes they
htve-delighted, I'm told, with straw
berries, gum-drops, or any little dainty
of that kind /! They are fond of bright
colors, too, and travellers tell wonderful
tales of seeing elephants gather flowers
with the greatest care, and smell them,
apparently with the keenest pleasure.
1t is true they eat the same flowers
afterward, but dear me I've seen girls
do the same thingl Many time I've
watched a little lady pluck wild rose,
look at it moment, sigh, how love.

WASHINGTON.
A REPUBLICAN, SENATOR.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Senator Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, says there is no.
doubt whatever of the election OF a
Republican senator TO succeed Saun-
ders; that most of the members elect
ed to the legislature who are anti
monopolists are Republicans.
POSTMASTER GENERAL REPORT.
The report of Postmaster General
Howe for the fiscal year shows the
disbursements of the postal service
during the year, $40,482,021; ordinary
receipts, $41, 505, 642; receipts from
money orders, $500, 767; excess receipts,
1894 1888. For the first time in three
years the postal service is not q bur
den on the treasury. In order TO de-
termine the real cost of the service for
the past year there should be deducted
from the total disbursement S442, 1886,
which, though paid out last
year, was for the service rendered
the previous year. There should
be added 1886, $50 estimated due for ser
vice rendered last year, there should
also be added 81, 176,174 earned by rail-
road companies for the transportation
of mails between the Missouri river ANDY
the Pacific. The accounts thus stated j
:
deficiency for the previous fiscal year
was $2,466, 1888. In 1850 the deficiency
was more than $l0,000,O0O. Some part
of this great Improvement is due u
the wonderful growth and prosperity
of the country, but the larger part y
due to the improved methods in the
administration OF the service. The
heaviest item Of expenditure Is
for the transportation of mails on rail-
roads. The next heaviest Is that for
postmasters. These two items must
swell with the volume Of business.
since the rate of compensation is pro-
portional to the amount Of business
done. The expenditure next in rank
is for what is known as the star route
service that includes all transportation
not on railways nor on steamboat.
The amount and cost is left wholly to
the arbitrary control of the depart
ment. For the year ending June 30,
1881, the star route service covered
7,557,29 miles of transportation
at a cost of S69,557.35. For
the year ended June 30, 1852, the
same service covered 1851, 486 miles
and cost S5,538,49O. Estimates for
1884 promise the financial results still
more fiattering. From money orders
the net revenue was S436,528. Total
estimated revenue, SJ0,670,4 56; total
expenditures estimated at $46,74f,111;
estimated excess of the revenue, 3d.
929,O45.
In the report of First Assistant r.
NJ. General Hatton IL is shown that
the estimate for compensation for
postmasters is largely in excess Of the
sum appropriated or asked for during
the current year. The reason assigned
is that the sum appropriated Is. wholly
inadequate to pay off the pOstnasters
is limited not by the appropriation
bills but by fixed statutes. and to the
extent of their legal compensations
the gross revenue Of the postal service
is not only appropriated, but hypothe-
Gated to their payment. -

Railroad Laws.

Editors Dispatch: Members Of the Gene
raj Assembly Of Virginia have been for
years accustomed to receive free tickets
from the various railroad corporations in
the state. This is not a direct bride, nor
do | assert that il Is intended as such, but
it does i'm an indirect sense affect legisla-
ton. "No man with free railroad ticket
in his pocket can legi>late impartialy as be-
tween railroads and the people" is a re-
mark ] heard made by one OF the ablest
statesmen OF Virginia.
When we receive favor, a compliment,
or gift, however slight or intrinsically
unimpOrtant, does it not soften our feelings
towards the donor, and stir up the gene
rOus impulses of weak human nature! So
the modern statesman, receiving Il compli-
mcntary railroad ticket, gushing over with
gratitude and pride, vainly imagines him.
self the selected champion and defender Of
railroad corporations, mol knowing that all
of his fcllOw-members as well have been
recipients of similar fayors. These
thoughts occur incidentally, and are not
altogether to the point. by object in wri-
ting this article is TO call the attention Of
our Legislature to the necessity, as well as
the Justice, OF a law compelling railroad
corporations TO compensate owners OF ami
mails killed by their rolling stock,
or else to erect and maintain lawful
fences on each side OF their road
beds. The law allows railroad COM
