what's the Matter.
Laramie Boomerang.

We notice, with some anxiety, th4AA
one of our valued exchanges has ceased
to arrive. 1t is a neatly printed and
highly humorous paper published at
Washington and largely quoted as the
Congressional Record. We hope that
financial matters have not forced ii to
suspend Humorous papers all over the
country are failing, and we fear that
something of this nature has befallen
the Record. 1t was the originator Of the
merry dialogues in congress beginning
"Mr. Speaker, | call for the previous
question"
If the Record has got mad at some
thing we have unwittingly said and
stopped the paper on that account, we
are very sorry and will cheerfully grovel
in the soil until the editor feels that JUS
tice has been done. We can not get
along without it and will do most any
thing in order to win il back to our office.
1t always took a fearless and anti-parti-
always get both sides of every question
by reading its crisp editorials and dis
cussions.
If this item should catch the eye Of
the editor of the Record, we hope he will
communicate Wltn us anu Iuei tOtue Tlpnl
to us as il were and lean right on us and
tell us why he is mad at us. We will al
ways give him due credit for any article
we may clip from his highly sensational
sheet and do what is right every other
way.
We miss the paper both in our Office
and in our home life. When the shades
of evening lower and We have thrown
the cat out of doors and gathered the
children around the hearth stone to read
to them, they miss the Congressional
Record and go to bed in tears.
We do not expect the Record to copy
from us. 1t runs too much original mat
ter and therefore must exclude extracts
from a measly little western paper like
ours, but we thought the Record would
like to know what is going on out west,
and when we hang man by request,
and how trade is, etc. If the paper has
not busted, We would like very much to
receive it.

ulation. he met the end likely TO befall
a man whose pockets were sufficiently
well lined TO make him the victim OF a
highwayman. The suspicion that he
was murdered by his abductors will
never be entertained by any person who
looks closely into the character OF the
men who took him upon that journey
and the train of circumstances connected
with that unfortunate affair. 1t is pos
sible that the whole truth may yet come
out. | have Just received letter from
Mr. Robert Morris, of La Grange, Old
ham county, XIV. 1t is dated from Ba-
tayia. Mr.. Morris writes me that he has
spent thirty years in trying TO solve the
Morgan mystery, and that he is now at
Batavia to procure closing proof upon
which to publish the result of his inves-
tigations."
Batavia IN. W Special to Chicago Times
The monument to the memory Of
CAPT VIM, Morgan, erected by the Ma
tional Christian Association, was unveil-
ed this afternoon in the presence Of a
thousand people The spectators includ-
ed over two hundred delegates to the
convention of the association, now in
of the Masonic order. The exercises be-
gan with the singing of a hymn COM
posed for the ocossion. The singing was
led by Jonathan Blanchard, of Wheaton
College, Illinois, who read the hymn line
by line, each line being repeated in song
by the audience. The hymn was thor
oughly Inorganic, and contained such
sentiments as this "Let our monument
proclaim that Morgan is martyred
name" Rev B. T. Roberts, of Rochester,
n. Y, followed with prayer, in which he
PRAYED for a continuance of heavenly
grace. and that the whites might be
emancipated from the evils of secret So
cieties, as the colored people were from
slavery. F. c. Canwell, of Dale, presented
the monument to the association in be-
half of the monument committee, OF
which he was chairman. Mr. Blanchard
made a brief speech of acceptance in be-
half of the association. DIR. Ray, of At
lanta, Ga, delivered an addrrss. He re-
fcrred TO Morgan as n martyr whose
monument had already been built in
history and set up in the thoughts and
sentiments Of men and women. lie said
that the world takes the life of a martyr,
but the world will not let him die. Nor
gan was a martyr to the principles of the
National Association, and. therefore, this
shaft was erected TO his memory.
Prof c. A. Blanchard, president of
Wheaton College and a son of the prev
ious speaker of the same name, delivered
scholarly and eloquent address, in
which he positively accused the Masons
OF numbering Morgan. A song followed
his address, and then Judge Moses Tag
CART, Of Batavia, aged cighty-six, and
other old-timers who remembered the
Morgan excitement, made brief remarks.

Iincoln's Old Law Partner u Pnuper.

Bill Herndon is a pauper at Spring
field, Ill. He was once worth considera-
bic property. His mind was the most
argumentative Of any Of the old lawyers
in the State and his memory was extra
ordinary.
For several years before Lincoln was
nominated for the Presidency, Herndon
was in some respects the most active
member of the firm, preparing the great
est number of cases for trial and making
elaborate arguments in their behalf
II is said that he worked hard with
Lincoln in preparing the memorable
speeches delivered by the man who
afterward became President during the
debates between Lincoln and Douglas in
1853, and in constructing the Cooper In
stitutc address delivered by Lincoln a
short time before the war
Herndon, with all his attainments, was
a man who now and then went on
spree, and it was no uncommon thing
for him to leave an important lawsuit
and spend several davs in drinking and
carousing. This habit became worse
after Lincoln's death, and, like poor Dick
Yates, Herndon went down step by step
till his old friends and associates point
to him as a common drunkard.

You think it is quite the correct thing
to talk loudly and coarsely, be boisterous
and hoydenish in all public places; to
make yourself so bold and forward and
commonplace everywhere that people
wonder if you ever had a mother or a
home, or anything to do. So b. it.
You will probably be taken for what
you are worth, and one of these years,
If YOU do not make worse than ship
wreck of yourself, you will begin to
wonder where the charms are that once
YOU thought yourself possessed of, and
what evil spirit could have so befooled
Won. Go on, but remember, cheap girls
attract nobody but fools and rascals.

A Secret Fortune and How the Doctor
Reached For IL.
San Francisco Cali.

A Mrs. Isabella Stewart, of Oakland
California, who lived in abject poverty,
died not long since. He rent was paid
by the Presbyterian church society, and
other expenses were met by charitable
persons. Clothing and food were given
her by neighbors. II was supposed that
she had about 5000 left of the 81 300 given
her by her husband. She was not thought
to have any other effects. After her death
the room in which she had lived was
searched, and quantity of coin, amount
ing in all to S7,749 IS, was found. Per-
sonal property of the value Of $50 was
also in the room. Claims against the
estate were soon filed. u. Morrison filed
a bill for $50 for meals and provisions
supplied from May /, 1880, to the date of
Mrs. Stewards death. The second bill
was to J. NJ. Selfridge, VI. D.. in the fol-
lowing words and figures, to wit ITO
medical services, including drugs and
medicines rendered and furnished said
deceased from May Z, 1880, and to and
including May s, 1889, the date of death
of deceased, being "A months at the rate
of $275 per month"

The Language OF the Face.
chronological Journal.

The faculty OF truth-that is, the love
of it is indicated by the muscle which
surrounds the eye, causing folds and
wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the
muscle which causes perpendicular
wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full
ness and wrinkles under the eye, for
which some persons are remarkable, In
dicate the love of mathematical accu-
racy; and curving upward from the
lower angle of the eye and eyebrow in
dicate probity or personal truthfulness.
There are three degrees Of the faculty of
Justice. The first is kind of exactness
or strict accuracy in small money mat
tiers. which some people would call close
ness, and is indicated by a singular per
pendicular wriukle or line between the
eyebrows. The second is disposition
to require Justice in others, and is indl-
Gated by two perpendicular lines or
wrinkles, one on each side of the centre
"A very common sign. The third degree
is conscientiousness, or the disposition to
apply the rule of justice to ones self, and
is indi, ated by three or more wrinkles,
or lines, especially noticeable, extending
above the eyebrow when the muscle is in
action. The love of command is indica-
ted by one or more short, TRAVERSE
wrinkles across the root of the nose ex-
acty between the eyes. 1t may be seen
in great military commanders, in mas
ters and teachers, and in those generally
who are fond of exercising authority.
In those who are wanting in the power
to command, and have no desire for re-
sponsibility, this sign is also absent. The
faculty of command frequently acts with
that part of Justice which reprimands or
requires others to do right, and both to-
gether produce that frowning and lower
ing brow which is SO terrible to evil
doers, or to those who love to be ap-

/ show Eagle with n History.
Denver Tribune.

For some days past the large golden
eagle placed on exhibition in front ofthe
curiosity store in the Windsor block has
received much attention; but the many
who have gazed at it in wonderment
have little thought that the bird had a
history quite tragic in detail The story
has been told in paragraph but never in
detail before.
Last February ranchman living near
North Platte, Neb., was preparingt to take
his family to town to spend Sunday.
His child, year of age, was left alone in
the wagon which was to serve "a a means
of conveyance, while the father went
back. While he was in the house he
heard the shricks of the baby outside,
and rushing to the door, found the little
one in the cruel talons ola huge bird,
which was slowly ascending striving TO
escape with its precious prize. The father
was at first unable to move, so greatly
afraid was he that the bird would drop
the little one to the ground. But before
the eagle could get ont of reach the far
mer raised his gun and fired The bird
came down slowly, and it was thought
the child would be saved, but when about
10 feet of the ground the child was
dropped, the eagle landing near it. The
baby was killed instantly by the fall.
The eagle was riddlcd with shot and was
supposed to be dead He was placed in
box and sent to a taxidermist in this
city, who, upon opening the box, found
the bird still alive. He was carefully
nursed, and is now as well as ever

A young man at Logansport, Ind, sued
a barber for spelling his mustache, claim
ing $50 damage. The hair dresser was
TO dye it for 25 cents; but on the applica-
ton the mustache was destroyed, one
half of it coming of in washing his face
before leaving the shop. The next day
the lip was smooth and hairless, but
swelled fearfully, and of very disagree
able hue. For lack of funds to deposit as
security for costs in case he lost the suit,
the young man was compelled to abandon
his scheme of revenge against the barber
whose defense was that "the hide would
not hold the hair"

Things Are Not What They Seem.

Two lovers were out for a morning
walk in the leafy aisles Of New Jersey
forest. The birds sang blithely upon the
boughs, the early sunshine quafled the
dew from grass and petals, and all ma
ture seemed to rejoice like bride on her
wedding day. The maiden gathered
violets, arbutus and cowslips, while he
gathered what he supposed to be white
kitten that had taken refuge in the hol-
low stump of long-departed tree. Mis-
cradle fate Strange catastrophy! I'm
happy mani Referring to the incident
afterward in a letter to friend, the
maiden wrote: 'lf George were boiled
for thousand years in the hot springs
Of Iceland, l don't believe he'd ever
smell sweet again"

Herbert Spencer dictates every word
of his books to an amanuensis, and works
only three hours day. For years he has
not worked longer than that. Then,
when the allotted three hours are spent,
anything for diversion-particularly the
opera or the concert, or billiards, and
above ALL when he is quite used up, the
country. He is extremely fond of the
country, and in his periods of greatest
distress will fly thither and stay until he
picks himself dp bit.

States.

Lombardy, although one-half of it is
occupied by arid mountains, contains,
probably, the densest agricultural popu-
lation in the world. According to recent
official reports, the provinces of Milan
and Cremona have 16l inhabitants to the
square kilometer, and even in the noun
tain region of Como there are 67 dwellers
on each square kilometer. On the same
area England has only 80, France 40 and
Ireland GO inhabitants,

Cheap Girls.
Macmillan's Magazine

A girl who makes herself too cheap is
one to be avoided. No young man, not
even the worst, except for base purpose,
wants anything to do with a cheap Young
lady. For wife, none but fool or a
rascal will approach such n woman.
Cheap Jewelry no person will touch if
he can get any better. Cheap girls arc
nothing but the refuse, and the young
men know it; and they will look in every
other direction for lifelong friend and
companion before they will give glance
at the pinchbeck stuff that tinkles at
every turn for fascinating the eye of any
that will look.

A Cloud Burst of Great Power.
Red BluICause

A cloud-burst swept over Mill creek
and the Upper Santa Ana, Cal, last week.
In some places in San Timoteo canyon the
stream was $50 yards in width, and in
Browns canyon over ten feet deep. 1t
carried with it logs from the mountains
forty to fifty feet in length, and carried
huge powders in front of il as though
they had been peas. Huge alder trees
were torn up and broken down by the
force of the torrent, and the Santa Ana
was higher than at any time last winter
