SturIa's Resolve

Chicago, 16.-The convicted muir
deress, Teresa Sturls, said to the county
commissioners who called during their
visit to the jail this morning: II hardly
know what to think about the trial, and
as for my future action, it is in the hands
of my friends. don't want to go to the
penitentisry but l have made up my
mind to be brave and stand it, and ]
know I can. I stood the last few days OF
the trial, and l stood the verdict, be-
cause I msde up my mind that I must
do it. When l gel out finally, an
going to live with Mrs Black, aud study
all l am able When 1 can mske al
honest living with my music, or in any
other way, l will try to do it. but [ will
never go back 10 my old kind Of life
again"

The whisky Men.

Washington, 16.-ConRress is being
strongly urged to extend the bonded
period for spirits kilograms and petit
lions are received from all parts ofthe
country. Whisky men are low spirited,
though working earnestly, but the result
of last falls elections, and their agency
in it has not gained them any friends.
Five republicans declare that whisky
money lost them forty congressional dis
tricts. Whisky men asking republicans
to help them are evidently much embsr-
rsss d. Senator Sherman thinks the Pc
Rod may be extended two years, and
with this whisky men will have to be
satisfied. Others concur in this view.

mia is just now pluming itself upon 8
Santa Clara burgundy. The life of GER
tain qualities Of wine seems to depend on
what may be called the education of the
soil and that is matter of time. The
burgundy grapes were long ago success
fully planted on the Rhine, but Foster,
Orleans and AsSmannshoushe thought
very good wines are as unlike the fine
Burglndies as the finer Bordesu. One
thing. however, is TO be said for the Cali
forDia wine grower. he does not clamor
for higher duties on imported wines Of
Burgundy, but intimates that he is ready
to see the existing duties repealed.

have the right to purchase and put under

without payment of import duty,are not
only the simpler remedy for the decay o.

The Mockery of Mourning.

The custom of putting on mourning
for the dead has been obsolete in Eng
land for some years among the higher
classes and is gradually becoming so
here. There is no reason why it
should not be. 1t often entails ex-
pense upon family that can i'll af-
ford it, is costly, unbecoming and
unhealthy. Not one woman in
thousand looks we'll in it. have seen
a beautiful woman look piquant in a
widows cap, but the recollection that
her attractiveness was born of the
grave, that she was making capital
from corpse around whose neck her
arms had often clung turned admira-
ton into another feeling.
It's advocates insist that it is a
"mark of respect" But would not
respect be shown quite as we'll by
withdrawing from the public gaze
instead of inviting it at such timer
The fact that the most intense care is
taken that this mark of respect shall
always be in the style of highest
fashion somewhat staggers the con-
viction that sorrow alone fills our
hearts, even in the first agony of be-
reavement. "We bury our dead out
of sight," but not in the abominatIon
of Grape and bOmbazine. We lay
them away in white robes and with
the soft benson of flowers, for we
would have the last look linger with
us an ever-pleasant memory, and in
"white robes" we hope to meet them
again beyond the stars, 1t is time
that this launted advertisement Of
sorrow, this compulsory demand for
street sympathy, this senseless OBJ
trusion of goul-like caste should
take its place with the fashion Of
drowning witches, and the belief that
Gehenen is paved with the skulls of
unbaptized infants.-Juniits, in NelU
! York Times.

His Ma got Home.

"When is your ma coming back ?"
asked the grocery man of the bad
boy, as he found him standing on
the sidewalk when the grocery was
opened in the morning, taking some
pieces of brick out of his coat-tail
pockets.
"Oh, she got back at midnight
last night" said the boy, as he eat a
few blue berries out ofa case. "That's
what makes me up so early. Pa has
been kicking at these pieces of brick
with his bare feet, and when ! came
away he had his toes in his hand and
was trying to 60 back upstairs on one
foot. Pa haint got no sense"
II am afraid you are terror, said
the groceryman, as he looked at the
innocent face of the boy, "You are
always making your parents some
trouble, and it is a wonder to me
that they don't send you to reform

school. What deviltry were YOU up
to last night to get kicked this morn
ing?"
mo deviltry, just a little fun.
You see, ma went to Chicago to stay
a week. and she got tired and tele-
graDhed that she would be home
last night, and pa was down town
and l forgot to give him the dis
patch, and after he went to bed me
and a chum of mine thought we
would have a Fourth of July. You
see, my chum has got a sister about
as big as ma, and we hooked some
OF her clothes, and after pa got to
snoring we put them in pas room.
Oh. you'd a laffed. We put pair
OF number one slippers, with blue
stockings down in front of the rock
ing chair, beside pas boots, and
red corset on chair, and my chum's
sisters best black silk dress on an
other chair, and a hat with a white
feather in on The bureau, and some
frizzes on the gas bracket, and every
thing we could find that belonged to
girl in my chum's sisters room.
On, we got a red parasol too, and left
it right in the middle of the floor.
Well, when looked at the lay out
and heard pa snoring / thought
should die. You see, ma knows pa
is darn good feller, but she is easily
excited. My chum slept with me
that night, and when we heard door
bell ring l stuffed a pillow in my
mouth. There was nobody to meet
ma at the depot, and she hired hack
and drove right up. Nobody heard
the bell but me, and | had to go down
and let ma in. She was pretty hot,
now you bet, at not being met at the
depot"
"Where's your father?" said she,
as she began to 60 upstairs.
II told her [ guessed pa had gone
to sleep by this time, but 1 heard a
| good deal of noise in the room about
an hour ago, and maybe he was TAX
ing bath. Then l slipped upstairs
and looked over the banisters. Ma
said something about heavens and
earth, and where is the huzzy, and
