HEALTH AND CLIMATE.

HEALTH AND CLIMATE.
All health seekers, whether from Northern
or Southern States, should try the climate of
the 'rabeand. The recent United States
Census shows it to be almost the only district
east OF the Rocky Mountains, entirely fl ee from
malarial, pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has "a double climate. one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and invigoi atng.
The water is treesione; cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is y deg.
Fahr., and in winter 81 deg. Fair. The
nights are always cool and refreshing.
SOIL.
The soil is sandy loan upon mulatto
clay subsoil. II is light, friable, holds manu- E.
is easily cultivated and responds readily and
generously to the least fertilizer.
CROPS AND GRASSES.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley all grow
well, though this is not claimed as a grain
growing soil. Tobacco is a profitable crop
here, as also is sorghum. Herd grass, orchard
grass, German and pearl millct, timothy and
red clover have all been tried, and take hold
and root well. Kentucky blue grass also
thrlves wherever introduced. The natural
pasturage is abundant.
VEGETABLES
Grow abundantly. Cabbage. onions beans,
sweet and Irish potatoes all make fine return.
The Irish potatoes are unexceled by any
grown in America. Sweet potatoes and onions
yield 500 bushels per acre.
FRUIT AND GRAPE CULTURE.
This region is especially adapted to fruit
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
known to fail. The trees are healthy, and the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy and firm. rarely
ever speaking or rotting. The grape is also a
sure crop where proper varieties are planted
The vines are robust, and the grapes make
excellent wines, which are in good demand
these two fruits are destined to become the
great and staple products of the rableland.
Strawberries, blackberries raspberries, cur
rams, cherries, plums. and nearly all the small
fruits thrive and bear prolifcally.

LURLINE AND HER LOVER.
Night in st. Louis.


Seated in the parlor of her fathers
magnificent residence, Lurline Loose
chair allowed her taper fingers to
wander idly over the keys of the
piano, and, obedient to her delicate
touch, there fioated forth upon the
air the strains of that beautiful mis-
erere, "Since Papa Tore His Pants"
And as she sat there, absorbed in the
sad reflections to which the music
gave rise, the door opened softly, and
Berwyck Hetherington entered the
room. Lurline, all the senses of her.
passionate nature absorbed in the
music, continued to play, not know
ing that the man she loved, and to
win whose pocketbook in return she
would have hustled around with
dread earnestness, was standing by
her side. But at last Berwyck placed
his hand gently on her shoulder, and
by that indefnable sense that tells
us of a human presence, although we
see it not, she knew that somebody
was around. Turning quickly, she
saw Mr.. Hetherington.
81 did not know you were here"
she said, blush flooding the face
that such little time ago was pale
and calm, "or I should not have played
so confidently"
Can you not favor me with some
thing morey" he said.
The blush grew deeper and more
vivid now. But in an instant she re-
covers her self possession, and looks
at him in the frank, honest way, in
which Cincinnati girls ask for more
pie.
Il cannot play any other piece"
she says, half sadly, half defantly.
"Are you sure of this, Lurlinew
Berwyck asks, bending over her in a
loving way. "Think well before you
speak," he continues, "for on your
answer depends the future happiness
of two young lives"
II am quite sure" she says.
"Then you must be my wife," And
as he speaks these words Berwyck
Hetherington's face lights up with a
rapturous, Schuyler Colfax smile.
"Do yon love me?" he asks.
For answer she puts ner arms
around his neck, kisses him coldly be-
hind the left ear, and then great
silence falls upon them.
Presently BERWICK rises to go.
"You will come again tomorrow
EVENING"" she asks.
Yes" he replies, "You may tie the
dog at eight"
'And you will not regret your
choices"
''Never," he says, in clear, steady
tones. q! have spent the best years

NEW GROUND FOR DIVORCE.

A remarkable divorce petition was
filed in a Louisville, KY, court re-
Gently by colored man named Rob
ert Maybe. The petition alleges
that in 1876, Maybe married woman
named Josie Grayson, believing from
her own. representation that she was
a mulatto. He has since discovered,
however, that she is white woman,
and, being advised that they cannot
longer live together as husband and
wife without rendering them both
liable to punishment under the law,
he asks that their marriage be de-
clared. null and void. He says,
further in his petition, that had he
suspected her to be otherwise than as
represented, he would not have mar
ried her, and that if the case would
admit he would gladly continue to
live with her.
Several years ago, when Josie
Grayson was only 10 years of age,
her parents, who are now unknown,
but who came from the far south,
abandoned her in Louisville while
passing through the city. The
young girl was taken care Of by a
doctor named Knight, who gave her
fair education. After the DOCTORS
death the girl, who had formed a
strong attachment for colored SER
want of the family, went to live with
the latter, among the negroes, and
from that time never associated with
whites, and soon bega n to consider
herself mulatto. About this time
Maybe met her. courted her, and
married her, the couple going. to
Danville, KY, to i've He says that
while living there his live was
threatened several times for living
with white woman. and that on one
occasion, in an alteration about the
woman, he was compelled to shoot q
colored man named Isaiah Lee.
For this act he was acquitted, and,
taking his wife, came back to Louis
7ille. Ever since he has been taunted
continually by his people about his
wife, and a day or two ago, discover
ing that she was really white, he de-
termined to apply for a divorce.
The case is likely to be settled in
his favor.

did Thurlow Weed originate the
term Jack MasonY"
Il do not know that he did, al
though it had its origin about that
time. 1t was term used in the
anti-Masonic times, and applied to
all who were friendly to Masons, OF
who did not believe that the Masons
were cut throats and murderers; and
at one of the elections held in Ro-
chester, New York. in 1927, Mr.. Weed
had jackass prepared with the rope
around his neck, which, in ridicule OF
the Masons, was called Gale tow

MIR. Carson, what opinion dc
Masons hold of this statement of Mr.
Weed?"
well, l can scarcely say. You
know my opinion. The statement is
false, and yet it is an important one
1t involves questions of great interest
to every person. 1t strikes at the
very heart of Masonry. 1 know the
thing to be false. 1 have so written
to members of the fraternity in New
York to- day. The whole trouble
comes from ignorance on the ques-
ton. Now, there were Masons in
New York who, at the time of the
dedication of the Masonic Temple on
Twenty-third street, New York, called
on Thurlow Weed. Well, 1 have no
patience with these kind of Masons,
and we don't have them outside OF
New York. either" said Mr.. Carson,
warming up-"and don't you forget
that"
"Will the fraternity take any no
tice of this matter?"
"Not at all. The order has sur
vived all such attacks, and Will con-
tinue to survive them and flourish
when Mr.. Weeds memory is only
known in connection with all that was
corrupt in the history of American
journalism and politics. There is
much said at the present time about
bosses. Thurlow Weed was the prince
of bosses, even down to the present
day of Nov. 30, 1882. With him the
eld justified the means. He was
really the father of American political
anti Masonry"
"Mr. Carson, should like to ask
what would become of man who
would expose the secrets of Mason
ryw
The only penalties known in the
order are reprimand, suspension from
membership and expulsion from the
order. That is our capital punish
ment Any man who claims that
Masonry teaches any higher grades
of punishment than those is fool, a

THE EARLY ADAMS.

In recent lecture George Alfred
Townsend spoke of Adams thus:
Lawyers were few, and looked
down upon in that Puritan society
preachers were magistrates, and
looked up to, and their daughters
We're MATRIMONIAL prizes. 1t broke
Farmer Adams hopes to see his son
cavil on Calvinism and go to join
that lawyer circle, and he soon after
died; but the boy, ever reading, read
ing, deep in the law and principles of
society as he could get, lived at
Quincy with his mother, picking up
scaDt practice till he won one Of
those preachers daughters, Abigail
Smith, and she brought him both
practice and brains. OF all the
wives of Presidents she was the only
wise one, the only one whose letters,
written for her husband alone, are
literature; the only Presidents wife
whose son, reared by her hand, be-
came his fathers equal. To her he
wrote: 81 have no concern on your
account but for your health A
woman can be silent when she will"
After he became Vice President he
wrote to her:
60 Your letters give me more en-
tertainment than all the speeches /
hear. There are more good thoughts,
fine strokes and mother wit in them
than / hear in a whole week. An
ounce of mother wit is worth pound
of clergy, and / rejoice that one of
my children, at least, has an abun-
dance of not only mother wit but of
his mothers wit If the rogue has
any family pride it is all derived from
the same source
"For years that wife titled his
farm at Quincy; there she heard the
cannon at Bunker's Hill and was ex-
posed to all the perils of the war
while he was absent. For ten years
she saw him scarcely at all, surren-
dering him to the country, never
complaining of country monotony,
never asking to move into Boston,
and had she been leaning on him
like helpless woman of fashion
all those years, or conceiving herself
to have been elected President, this
letter need never have been written
by him at the outbreak of the war:
Dear partner, take part with
me in the struggle. Rouse your
whole attention to the family, the
stock, the farm, the dairy. Let every
article ef expense which can possibly
be spared be retrenched. Keep the
hands attentive to their business and
let the most prudent measures of
every kind be adopted
Further interesting pictures in the
life of Adams were these:
As the contest advanced he be-
came the lion of independence, not a
passionate, dramatic speaker, like
Patrick Henry, but an earlier Burke
or later Pym, full of the morals and
statecraft of his subject, as it had
grown upon his thoughts and con-
science till his sight pierced further
into the future, and his fellow-mem-
bers looked up as at some Hebrew
seer. No poet nor rhetorician, not tall
nor striking man, no wit, but bold,
open speaker, growing by opposition.
with thorough learning, lofty moral
ity and vehement energy, he ham,
mered independence out like a
horse shoe on the anvil and nailed it
to the war horse"

MOTHERS WAY.

Oft within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together,
And in hushed and tender tone,
Ask each others iull forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder at this custom
At the ending of the day,
Bye and voice would quickly answer,
1T was once our mothers way"
If our hope be bright and CHEEKY,
If it hold a welcome tune,
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many-not the few
If we share our fathers bounty
With the needy, day by day,
'Tis becasue our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hearts grow weary
Or our task seems very long;
When our burdens look too heavy
And we deem the right all wrong.
Then we gain a new fresh courage,
AS we rise to proudly say:
Let us do our duty brayely,
This was our dear others way"
Then we keep the memory precious,
While we never cease to pray,
That lest when lengthening shadows
Mark the evening of life's day,
They may find us waiting calmy
To go home our mothers. way.

counter-irritant, would relieve the

dead man overheard me, opened his
eyes, and asked for water. "God is
merciful," said the complainers, "and
has restored him to life." The
Pasha, however, took a more matter

them to be bastinadoed; while this
was being done, I whispered to the
corpse" Your turn will come next;
