worker as well. Another member of the
House who possesses wit and wisdom is John
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, nephew of
John Randolph, of Roanoke He has always
had the reputation in Virginia of being an
lnimItable racOHteair, but he judiciously hid
his light under a busheI for time after
coming to Washington. He had been pre-
ceded by great reputation As the
ablest constitutional lawyer of his State,
and at once took rank with the first
intellects in the House OF Representa-
tives. But one night, at dinner party. Mr..
Tucker "let himself out" and swoke the next
morning to find himself famous. Mr.. Tucker
Is wisely witty, he is not funny with all per-
cons at all times, and he comes down like an
avalanche on the man who presumes to be
familiar with the wit because he is familiar
with the witticism. John Goode, OF Viz
GINA, also, until lately mem Der, had a vein
of solemn humor and was said to be one of
the few men who could make the present
senator from Michigan, o. D. Conger, realize
that the floor of Congress was not a circus
ring. Mr.. Gosde is = rock of common sense,
and he had way OF calling the attention of
the House to the business Of the day that
was utterly ruinous to Mr.. Conger's amateur
minstrel performance.

All for Fashion.


The death, scarcely noticed, occurred in
England lately Of lady who was in her day
the nine days talk of London, and indeed Of
the country at large. A former marquis OF
Londonderry married secondly, late in life, a
grand heiress of despotic disposition, who be-
came a prominent leader in the fashionable
world of London, and dispensed magnificent
hospitality albeit her husband became so
deeply involved that her splendid mansion,
Holdernesse House, was VIGOROUSLY the
scene of the sheriff's officers being present in
livery at a grand entertainment Her eldest
daughter married q duke, another married
an earl, and the third, Lady Adelaide, was
doubtless destined by her mother to form sn
equally desirable match from a managing
mammals point of view but Lady Londonderry
counted without her daughter. One day fash
able London was electrified by the news that
Lady Adelaide Vane had disappeared, and
that her brothers tutor, Mr.. Law, was also
missing. This was not long after the elope-
ment Of the famous Lady Jerseys daughter
with captain OF dragons, son of lawyer,
had brought CONSERVATION on society"
the union of this pair at Gretna Green being
the last of any note welded by the famous
blacksmith. The story went that at the time
Lady Londonderry, a rival grande dame,
was the FIRST to csndole with "poor, dear
Lady Jersey" and that IN reconcile Lady
Jersey lost no time IN returning the compll-
ment when the dreadful catastrophe at Hol-
dernesse House became known. 1t may be
added that both of these marriages turned
out quite as we'll as those more formally
made. Captain Ibbetson had very respect
able career in the army, and Mr.. Law be-
came an estlmable clergyman, SO that il was
case in both instances of "alPs we'll that
ends we'll" 1t was perfectly understood that
if these ladies had not helped themselves to
husbands they would have had no chance
whatever of those of their own choosing,
unless they had entirely fallen in with the

OUR ISC&EASISG WHEAT PRODUCT.
Our wheat producing power Is annually
increasing. The lands of Dakota prove to
BE- among the very finest in the world for
wheat growing, rivaling the best that Hun
gary or southern Russia could do in their
most successful days. Dakota is a favorite
settling place for immigrants, and it is be-
Iieved that 10000 people have been added to
the population there since the census Of 1880
was taken, and the present rate Of immigra-
ton is greater than before. The land Is I'M
encountered with timber and is broken with
little expense, the crop paying clear SO an
acre. The labor Is performed in a very mod
crate time; when the blowing and sowing
is done there IS little required until harvest
time, and by the end Of August the years
work IL finished. Few farm buildings are
needed. g. the grain il threshed and sacked
in the fields and at once shipped of by rail-
ways. Farms have frequently no fence but the
barbed-wire fence necessary to confine the an
Inals Villages, churches, schools, and
stores spring mp as if by magic, and little is
felt Of the old hardships and nothing OF the
oil dangers of frontier life. Facilities for
reaching 2 market are abundant. Railroads
run to the Missouri and along both sides of
the Red river, with branches that afford the
farmers every convenience for traffic. The
future OF the Northwest is looming up
brighter than ever.

DIVERSIFTED ROR.

The great food now sweeping down the
Mississippi promises to be the most destrue-
tive ever known. 1t is greater in hight of
water than 1867 or 1S47, and will prove to
he. greater even than the food of 1874, 1882
or 1915. But even if not so great, the de-
struction will prove more disastrous in the
same ratio that the property and population
to be destroyed is OF larger extent than here
tofore. To the cities this overflow will work
great injury; to the farmers and planters in
the bottom lands, and the poor laborers, it
forebodes a far more terrible fate. Those
who have never witnessed an overflow in
the Mississippi can form no conception of
the reality from any description, however
highly colored. Even a local or partial
overflow from the breaking of levee is
bad enough, but when such disaster IS tue
present one occurs, then indeed it is terrible
Against such visitation levees avail moth
ing, and 1t is safe to say that from Cairo to
New Orleans the Mississippi river viii

The drouth of last summer rendered the
supply Of food and forage very limited, ana
this will enhance the suffering of both man
and beast Thousands of families will be
rendered houselesa in town and country, and
in the isolated and exposed situation Of
many the loss Of life will be appalling while

fences and the damage to houses, will con-
vert this vast eIpanse Of territory, ordinarily
the most productive section Of the Union,
into the most desolate and dependent. This
extraordinary overflow causing SO much
suffering, will surely induce the people who
live in the Mississippi river bottoms to pre-
pare for similar misfortunes. The farm
ers all along the Mississippi river agree
every year to plant more food crops and
less cotton, and thus provide against the SUI
ferings occasioned by the present overflow
But the came old deception il practiced, and
the same sufferings follow. No community
ever prospered which depended entirely on
the production OF one commodity. The time
of safely and OF prosperity is the season for
multiplying the sources OF income which
support AID enrich a community. The
country or the village which limits itself 10
a single industry may find that its hope, to
gether with its wealth, Is vanishing in some
sudden change which makes that form Of
labor improbable, whereas an extension Of
the methods and an enlargement Of the list
OF enterprises secure q community against
failure. 1t may suffer, but will not be IN
disrnay when particular branch OF trade Il
cut OF. Two towns in Pennsylvania are al
the present time endesvoring to secure
themselves against disaster in the future by
diversifying their industries. ST. Clair has
prosPered a mining town, and Is said to
be doing even better than Usual, bnt the
citizens have decided that il Is best to in
crease their industries, and TO that end a
committee has been in Philadelphia offering
special inducements to manufacturers and
mechanics, with the hope that factories will
be built there at sn early day. Chambers
burg, the chief center of the haryesis which
the Cumberland valley produces so abnnd-
antIy, not satisfied with relying on one prin-
cipal industry, has paid a large bonus to
secure the location there OF q manufacturing
company. The same facts apply with equal
force to the great agricultural interests OF
this community. Towns cannot prosper
without diversiiying their industries and the
country people who conine their labors to
one product will never be independent, but
always poor. For years the suicidal, cotton
mad policy has been protested against in
vain. Planters generally agree that it is
fatal, but since every man hoped his neigh
Dor would plant corn AND leave him cotton,
the consequence is that very little food has
been made. The people OF Herculaneum
did not heed the warning, and they were
buried beneath the lava Of the volcano. For
years the people along the Mississippi river
have been admonished OF the impending
danger, and it is to be hoped that the suffer
ings which the present overflow has entailed
will induce them TO provide for a similar
recurrence.

Red Tame In ENGLAND.

An interesting contribution to the history
of British red tape 90 beautifully illuntrated
by Dickens in the case of the Chaffwax, is
afforded by recent experience of Mr.. Ger
aid Fitzgerald, an accomplished official in
the bureau Of the Indian comptroller-1en-
eral, who not long ago married daughter of
Lord Houghton. Mr.. Fitzgerald was Sc
lected for duty in Egypt some four or Eve
years ago, to assist in managing the finances
OF the khedive's nominal government. His
post has been by no means q sinecure, as may
be imagined, and his services are still re-
quired at Cairo. The English government
fully recognizes the prcpristy of reckoning
the time spent by Mr.. Fitzgerald in Egypt
as a part Of his actual service life. But it
appears that under the awful prescriptions of
red tape, Mr.. Fitzgerald's special leave
of absence being up, he must lose hiH PEN
sion unless he complies with those prescrip-
tions by leaving his home in Cairo, gclng p
Calcutta, and taking charge OF his former
office there for the space of one day, after
which ne may return to Egypt on a new leave,
and become in time fully entitled to his PEN
sion This solemn performance will involve
good deal OF time, much cost both 70 the
government and to Mr.. Fitzgerald, great in
Convenience to the official and some in
convenience to the Egyptian organization.
But the government has no option, ard the
sanctities OF red tape will be preserved, re-
gardless alike of expense and OF common
