Queen yictoria's Proposal.

Mrs. Oliphant writes, in the Novem-
Der Century: There was story cur.
rent at the time, that at state ball,
very near the period of their betrothal,
the young lady gave her princely sutton
a rose, which he, without button-hole
in his close-fitting uniform, slit the
breast of his coat to find place for,
aud that this was a token to all the
court of the final determination of the
great event. her Majesty, rs it j,
pleasant to hear. having shown herself
little coy and disposed to put off the
explanation, as happy girls are wont {
do. No more perfect marriage has
ever been recorded; the Queen her
self attributes the formation Of hel
character to it, and all that is most ex
cellent in her life

Resolutions.

AT the last regular meeting of the
Mt. Hope Lodge, No. 176, |. o. o. F.,
the following preamble resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Him "who
is too wise to err and too good to be I'M
kind, to cast the shadow of sorrow
over our Lodge by removing from our
midst our esteemed and honored brother
Wesley Crow, therefore, be it
ReSolUed, That by his demise, frater-
nal ties made strong by the companion
ship of years have been rent asunder;
the fraternity has lost CONSTANT and
estimable member; the community a
valuable citizen and kind neighbor, a
christian man of rigid integrity, I'M
sullied character and sterling worth.
Resolved, That, by the practice of the
principles of friendship, love, and truth
he endeared himself to all with whom
he became associated, and that in his
pure transformations, peaceful life he left
an example worthy of our emulation
and highest esteem. May it be our en-
yiable lot when life's mission with us
shall have been accomplished to be laid
away to rest with as few enemies, as
many warm friends as he whose death
we mourn to-day.
ReS0tced, That, while we tender our
sincere, heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved widow, sons, and daughters, as
those who suffer mutual sorrow, we
do so, we trust, with the mutual cons
ciousness and satisfaction that ''our loss
is his gain that a life replete with
acts and self-sacrificing deeds has, after
long and patient suffering lapsed into a
peaceful hereafter.
Resolced, That the lodge room be fit
tingly draped in mourning and the
members wear the customary badge of
mourning for the next thirty days.
ReSotCed, That these resolutions be
spread upon the Lodge journal and that
a copy thereof be transmitted to the
HERALD, Dial, and Record, for publ
cation.

Guiteau'S Ghost.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Warden
Croker, of the District Jail. says he
is not yet free from the Guiteau bust
ness. Often some cranky prisoner in
the Jail declares he saw Guiteau in a
vision, and night or two ago pris-
oner confined in an adjoining corridor
of the same wing in which the famous
assassin was Gagged created a commo-
ton in the Jail at midnight by shouting
that he had just seen Guiteau. He
could not be induced to think he was
deluded by temporary alteration OF
mind, but maintained that Guiteau
came into his cell and stood there for
some time. so frightening the occupant
that he was speeches. for awhile. He
still sticks to the story, but the Jail au
thorities still say that he is only one Of
the many cranks who haye become
temporarily insane in the jail by brood
ing over the crime and punishment o.
the assassin.

Initiating Dime Novel Heroes.

MILWAUKEE, October 25.- Officer
Fischer yesterday had his attention di-
rected TO four runaway boys, whose
minds had become impregnated with
dime-novel literature, and who were
intent on emulating the deeds of the
prairie heroes. The boys were all less
than IA years of age. They had Sc
cured tent and put it up in the vi
cinity of the Milwaukee garden, on the
west side, where the police officer found
them. They had built a roaring fire
and decorated the tent with the nipple
ments of war, as well as their resources
would allow. They had secured no
scalps as yet, but had entered into the
new situation with zest, clubbing each
other Buffalo Bill" Texas Jack, :"
and similar border names. The officer
took two of them in custody, the others
making good their escape. The lads
were supposed by their parents to be
at school, and proceeded to cool their
ardor for adventure in the wild west by
the application of that instrument.

Nihjlist's Troubles.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 25.-The lat
est Nihilist proclamation. being extern
sively circulated, demands that the
Gar summon representatives Of the
Russian people. and asks for full am
nesty, freedom Of the press, freedom Of
speech, ard the right to hold public
meetings. as the only means of prevent
ing revolution. Pitiless vengence is
threatened if the demands Of the Mill
lists are disregarded. The Journal de
St. Petersburg declares the foreign pol
icy of Russia is entirely devoted TO
peace; that her relations with all for
eign powers are excellent, aud no ques-
ton pending is likely to disturb the
quiet all Governments are striving TO
maintain.

A coin collector says that specimens
of the first issue of the s'V'' nickels,
from which the word 'cents' was
omitted, have already become a rarity
and are being sought for to enrich the
cabinet of the numismatist He says
that in the east enthusiasts are in some
cases offering all the way from fifty
cents to two dollars for specimens.
But then there is no doubt but that an
offer to pay fifteen or twenty cents
apiece for them in quantities would bring
hundreds from the pockets of the peo-
pie. As, however the treasury depart
ment is retiring all which find theil
way to its hands, the time will nc
doubt eventually come when they will
be worth a comparatively high sum a'
curiosities. People who have supply
of these nickels on hand, will doubt
be wise to hang on to them for the pre-
sent, as they may prove money in theil
POCKETS at some later day.

The Democratic members of the Con-
gressionaI delegation from Wisconsin
are at sea as to whom they will support
for Speaker of the next Congress, but
the chances are their belief in the sur
vival of the fittest will be illustrated by
casting their votes for Randall, followed
by his reelection. The heavy majority
in the House brings forward an unusu-
ally large number of democrats to be
supplied with good berths for merito-
rious party services. Hugh Lewis, the
democratic one-armed veteran of Madi-
son, it is said, will have the support of
the Wisconsin members for good posi-
ton in the next House, while Col. j. G.
Knight, of Darlington, is seeking rec
ognition of his claims and is also on
the list for something, but will pro-
badly be left out in the cold as two
good offices will not come to this dis

All the facts show that the Republi-
cans of Ohio this year paid small at
tention to National politics or to the
effect of the vote upon the Presidential
election next year. The issue was that
of prohibition, and it was along this
line that the fight was made. The New
York Herald in summing up the results
says: although Ohio has been car
ried several times by the Democrats, it
has always gone Republican in Presi-
Dental years. 1t gave Grant MAORI
ty of Al 900 in 1868 and one of $4,000
in 1872. The Republican majority fell
to 1000 when Hayes was elected in
1876, but it rose to $4,000 for Garfield
in 1890. Last year the Democratic
vote exceeded the Republican by 10, 900.
Bnt this was the great tidal-wave year.
when the Republicans were everywhere
washed out. On Tuesday the party was
beaten IN Ohio by prohibition. purely
local issue. But the returns so far re
ceiyed show that the Democrats have
lost and the Republicans have gained
ground .

The incoming Democratic Congress
is regarded with good deal of sus-
picion by the party which elected it.
OF its ability to legislate wisely and ex-
peditiously there are grave doubts, but
concerning its ability to knock the
Democracy's chances of winning in
1884 higher than a kite, there seems to
be no question. The leaders of the
party of harmony and good will have
got a big job on their hands to keep
weight enough on some of their over
Jealous brethren in Congress until after
next years election.

Several state Legislatures in the South
will deal with the Mormon question this
winter. That section of the country is
a fayorite field for the Salt Lake mis-
sionaries, and as there is no federal law
under which their PROSECUTING may be
stopped, the states will undertake to
prohibit the evil themselves. The
movement is feasible, and if it shall be-
come general in the South the Mormon
elders will be driven from one of their
most prolific vineyards.

Harper's Weekly says that the result
III Ohio is not a success of which Demo
Gratis can be proud, nor which will make
them hopeful for the larger contest, be-
cause the result certainly does not show
that there is strong and widespread
desire of change for the sake of change,
which is the sole Democratic reliance
for next year. That means that we are
to have revival of the old cry-Any-
thing for change, as though change
must necessarily mean q reform, a bet
terment. OF all the idiotic reasons ever
given for changing the hands that hold
the reins of government, the most ut
terly driveling is to demand change
for sake of change, and that only.
United States Senator John Sherman S
brother, Mr.. Hoyt Sherman. of Iowa,
was asked the other day how the Sena-
tor felt about the result in Ohio. He
said: II received letter from him the
other day He says he is disappointed
at the result, but adds that there is too
large foreign population in Ohio to
carry the State on temperance plat
form. In Iowa we lost votes on that
account 1t was the temperance issue
which reduced our majority of 10000
two years ago to $4,000 plurality, or
about 1000 majority, this year. While
we lost on that issue, the Democrats
lost on their tariff position. | think
they made an unwise movo in advocat-
ing so squarely and earnestly a tariff for
revenue only
