Silver Weddinq.

Rev. John Holt and wife, of Maiden
Rock, celebrated the 25th anniversary
of their marriage on the 22d inst, in
manner wholly unexpected. A sur
prise party was planned and effected,
under the skillful leadership of G. w.
Pott and wife, of Sparta, who made
the occasion of paying ii long promised
visit to the bride and groom. Arriv-
ing in Maiden Rock on the previous
Saturday, they in due time secured
the promise of Rev. Holt to a stroll
around the lake, and visit to some
of the noted points. So effectually
was this carried out, that the evening
was well under way ere they returned
to find the arrangements complete,
with presents and friends to greet
them on their arrival. The company
was not as large as was expected, but
those who failed to put in an appear
ance sent substantial tokens of their
love and admiration for Bro. Holt and
wife. Among the presents we noticed
fine silver cake basket, with knives
and forks, butter dish and a large
water pitcher, the latter presented by
the st. Croix District Conference. In
addition to these, cash from various
parties was sent, aggregating S67.75.
OF this amount it may be well to no.
tice the gift of William and Mary
Hainsworth Ia sister and her husband
of the groom), of Pittsburg, Penn.
This was small box containing two
rows of new silver dollars, S25 in a
row. The whole affair was a genuine
surprise, and the gifts with the let
tiers of congratulation could not have
been more worthily bestowed.

Loufse Michel.

The Partisan correspondent of the Etoile
Belize has had an interview with Louise
Michel (who is going TO give lecture in
Bruesels), the revelations of which have
been published. She was, il seems, in early
life school mistress. She was then pious
Catholic, with tendency TO mysticism, and
she wrote several devotional hymns. 1t was
the doctrine of eternal punishment as taught
by the Church, she declares, which first
made her skeptical; and the support given
by the clergy to the empire turned skep-
ticism into downright disbelief and hostility
TO all religion. She acknowledged without
hesitation, and even with a smile on her lips,
that she had planned the assassination OF
Napoleon III and afterward of NJ. Theirs.
The downfall OF the empire saved the former,
aud she was only dissuaded from proceeding
10 Versailles 10 carry out her designs against
the latter by the representations of Ferre,
one of The communist leaders, VINO con-
WINGED her that the assassination would iu-
iure the cause OF the Commune. Her IN is
sion, she avowed, was destruction, to make 3
ta6tla rdsa of The existing social organization
The idea of reform was ridiculous, every
thing being bad and rotten. When asked il
she had new social system thought out to
replace the present one she acknowledged she
had not; but she trusted, after the revolution
to the inspiration OF some great and fruitful
idea which would bring about a complet,
| social renovation.

THE CowDOx RIVER COMMITTEE.


The ;perseyering enthusiasm Of Capt.
Cowdon gained for him one victory at the
last session of Congress. A committee was APP
rointed which is to descend the Mississippi
river, and Capt. Cowdon with 1t, TO ascer-
tain by direct observation whether the plan
upon which the government officials are now
improving the river is correct in system, or
whether the CoWdon outlet plan is not the
true and preferable one to pursue. The
COWdon cnmnlIftRs 10 r''NdArstnnd principally
10 be composed OF men who are much inn
pressed with the Importance OF that gentle
mans views, regarding it best to run off high
water by side outlets, making little eide Mis-
sissppis that shall help to run off the con-
tents of the big Mississippi. One of two
ways must be adopted, either to deepen the
channel so as to carry off safely all the wa
ter that may come into it, or to run the su-
perhuous water off from the surface. Beside
the disposal of food waters, it must be re-
membered that a sufficient deepening Of the
channel is wanted to enable boats requiring
ten feet of depth to pass up and down be-
tween New Orleans TO St, Louis during the
dry season. Considering these two objects,
the Cowdon committee will see, if they are
competent to form judgment in the case,
whether deepening the channel or drawing
off water from the surface is the system re-
ouired

- N OlhR.''

A French lady, calling herself the Baroness
de Saint-Estrapade, who lately appeared be-
fore the Correctional Tribunal of the Seine
on charge of iUresse mdnifeste-in brutal
English, drunk ard succeeded
in convincing the president of that court tn at
the wearing of fur cloak may produce an
eccentricity of behavior as deceptive In its
way as that produced by too liberal a con-
sumption of salmon. Sometime ago, she in
formed the Court, she read in a.journal tn at
the surest way OF preserving furs from the
ravsges of moths was to stow them away in
an empty spirit cask. She accordingly
bought one q month or two ago and to its
safe keeping she confided her fur cloak. A
week ago, having TO breakfast at Noel's, and
the day being very cold, she put on this gar
ment, when, as she declares, once out of doors
the combined effect of the cold and the alco-
holic fumes emanating from the cloak made
her giddy and produced all the appearances
of intoxication. The "agent" who took her
up deposed that "she smelt of alcohol at IF
teen paces," piece of testimony rather in
her favor than otherwise; and her bonnie de-
posed to the purchase OF the cask and its en-
ployment as a wardrobe. The Judge, after
remsrkipg that if every lady adopted this
line of defense to the particular charge
brought against the baroness conviction
would be impossible, acquitted her.

THE SIZE OF CoTroN BALES.

II is astonishing how long we bear an in
convenience, and put up with what is infe-
rior, after the inconvenience and inferiorlty
are admitted, yet with all our boosted prog
resz, and all our professions of being ready
and more than willing 10 adopt improve
ments, it usually takes Us years OF foolish
delay before what everybody acknowledges
is wanted is done. At last one sheep with a
little more $50" in him than the rest, jumps
the fence of stupidity, and the remainder Of
the flock follow him. In our own case in
these cotton regions, we all know that the
cotton bale is unnecessarily and inconve-
niently large, and yet We go on, season after
ssason, perpe;rating The same foolish prac-
uce. There is example enough before us,
even the people who put the rough hay TO-
gether for mules TO eat are before US. They
found that large bales were trouble 10 them
selves and their size an obstacle to their
customers, and they cut them down TO half
balas and quarter bales. Our nice, delicate
cotton must be p11ed up to the weight of 500
10 600 pounds, although the mills are con-
tinually reproaching us for having more
than one sort of cotton in bale. Ii our
bales were 100 pounds weight each, we
could avoid this mixing; but no, We must
pocket the reproach and smart and groan
under the incumbrance, and go on with our
500 and 600 pound bales as big as hay
stack, as unWieldy cart off the wheels,
and as ugly as a ragged stump that has lain
twenty years in the woods. Big, awkward
bales require expensive cotton presses, and
two-story ginhouses. A cotton press for
small bales would cost comparative
trihe, the pressing would be more
perfect, yet we pay high prices
for cotton presses and for ginhouses
to make bales that would be more acceptable
to everybody, and more nicely covered and
fitted for transportation. Money would ALTO
be saved in The ties, which could be made
lighter, and the iron manufacturers are not
sufficiently friends of the cotton planter for
him to contribute cent more TO the advo-
Gates of doubled cotton-tie duties than is
absolutely necessary in the cotton-y ards, at
the boats, railroads, and packing in ships
hold. With small bales how light and handy
the work would be than it is now. In case
of fire the bales could be picked up and run
out of danger. If for any reason large
bales were wanted the compress is the place
to make them, by putting together as many
hundred pound bales as was required.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
BY Universal Accord,


AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgatiye Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for. children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but efectual
cathartic is required.

Stewart In the world,

Mr.. Stewart, wgiting for the World, says:
Looking on her as she advanced full of
woman's gentle dignity yet also of grace and
certain chaste elegance, ii was easy to imagine
how she realized the dream of the poet and
the painter of Swinburne and of Millais.
There are no faults in the face, The lower
portion, especially the mouth, is perfect in
the exact lines of beauty, and the head, over
which Sir Frederick Leighton and other
artists have gone into such ecstacy, is beau
tifully set on. The forehead is bright and
smoothe as ether.of-pearl. and arched in
matchless symmetry by its drapery of brown
hair, through which streaks of gold struggle.
The ear is set on the side Of the head like
delicate shell, ghe throat is lovely stalk
leading the eve upward to a loyelier tower,
and downward along a fair slope, undulating
in the true line Of beauty to the polished
shoulder, whence from the pendant caiyx OF
the short tucked-up milk-maid's sleeve
hangs lovely branch, smooth and glitter
ing like pale pink coral, slightly curved to-
ward the figure and terminating in i've taper
petals pinker still. The feet are snail and
the ankle is light and thoroughbred. Her
voice is of the richest vocal velvet.
In the first act no stirring passion occupies
the soul. She loves. 4 gentle spirit hovers
around Hester" and We are at once pene-
trated with the unaffected ease and chaste
simplicity with which she surrounds the
character. Her love is kept in restraint by
certain natural dignity, blended with
delicate refnsment, eflen found in the peas
ant girl and without which it would be i'm
possible for one like eArncliffe. to give his
affection. She il, as Hester should be,
young, fresh, easy, natural. Fhere was no
posing for effect when he gives himself up 10
the expression of romantic love. Ali was
30 easy snd natural that the audience was
delighted In the second act she had more
difficult task, but all the tender scenes were
rendered with genuine and unaffected
pathos-the interview with her father and
the intensity of desolation on the parting
with her husband. In the third act, which
il yretchediy written and constructed, she
DISPLAYED all that confidence and self-posses-
sion Of the lady of society which she had
opportunity of acquiring on larger stage.

MalInaisOn.

Malmaison, formerly the residence OF
Empress Josephine, has been sold by auction
at Versailles, and was bought by fanstical
association for the very moderate sum Of
453,000f. Some years after Josephine's
death the palace of Malmaison was bought
by Queen Maria Christina, OF Spain, mother
OF ExQueen Isabella, and she resided
there for some years. Napoleon III pur-
chased it in 1861 for /, 500,O00f., and after
the fall of the empire it became the prop
erty of the nation. A few years sgo
Partisan banker bought it as speculation; ;
aud it was in consequence of his becoming
bankrupt that the property has now been
broug hit 10 the hammer. A curious anscdote
relating to Malmaison is to be found in
Lord Hollands memoirs. Josephine often
spoke of the prediction of a gypsy woman
who told her fortune some time before her
second marriage. 1t was 10 the effect that
she would be one day greater than a queen,
and that she would die in hospital. Both
parts of the prediction came true, for Nal
mar on, rs its name Indicates, was originally
hospital. Lord Holland heard OF this
prophecy in 1902, before Napoleon became
emperor.
