THE sisterly charity and modesty of
the prima donna is imposing. Miss
Kellogg remarks Of Patti, ''She is
charming and lives like a queen; be-
yond this do not care to speak" And
then she says, II can think of no one
Just now to fill my place" II egotism
is, as some people think, the one essen
tial quality for a great singer, 1t is much
TO be feared that all Of Miss KellogR's
will find her shoes too large
for them.

The right of. New York to the title of the Empire state is reaffirmed in striking degree by the census returns of 1880. It has million more inhabitants than any other state and more than one-tenth of all the people in the United States live with ln its borders. In the extent of it's wealth, commerce and trade it is naturally beyond comparison. Its industrial supremacy is hardly less marked. Of all the states in the Union it has the most manufacturing establishments, employs the most work people, pays the most wages, uses the most materials and turns out the most products. It is credited with nearly a fifth of the entire invested capital of the country and contributes more than a fifth to the aggregate value of manufactured products. It surpasses its neighbor Penn sylyanla, the next in the column of man. ufactnring states, by three hundred mil hon dollars. Taking the value of all farm productions as the standard of rank Illin- ols holds the first and New York the sec ond place. The agricultural productions of the former are returned at $2O3. COG.

THE pope has squarely taken issue with the Irish national league, as he did with the land league. He seems not to believe that national independence is best for Ire land. This will probably make no differ ence with the movement, except as it goes to keep the clergy out of it. Some of its officers and active promoters are Catholic priests. Whether these will withdraw from the league, or take steps to draw Irish independence from among the avow
 ed objects of the league, remains to be

The Boston Journal says: Passengers on one of the afternoon trains from Prov idence yesterday enjoyed little fun at the expense of his excellency the governor, who had been in Providence of law bus mess. When the conductor asked for a ticket from the governor, the latter replied that he had a pass. The conductor re- quested him to show 1t, for punching pur- poses. The governor searched high and low for it, but finally admitted that he could not find it. Then the conductor in- formed his excellency that according to the rules of the company he must have either pass, ticket or money. As the gov ernor could find neither of the former two he was obliged to pay his fare, with the additional penalty for those who have not provided themselves with tickets, and also a ticket which, according to the law re. gently passed by the legislature, entitled him to recover back the excess of fare. Il is said that the governor was in rage about the whole affair, though the con ductor explained that according to the rules governing him he had no choice II | the matter.
 The Providence Journal learns from of fcers of the railroad that although Cover nor Butler has before assumed to have { pass, and on that assumption has travelee free over the Boston and Providence rail road, the fact is that his excellency is mis taken, and that he has not and never hat
 a pass over that road.

We want girls Girls who can get
themselves up in good shape to go to a
auce. The boys are getting tired OF re-
cesing invitations with request that
they bring ladies. They are like
oranges and lemons-very scarce. We
want girls who will go to church and bible
class on Sunday, and the kind who can
draw a congre CATION of the other sex, and
who will take buggy ride after the lesson
is over. This will help the livery business
and will also hasten the sale of residence
lots, for buggies are the vehicles in which
many homes are first thought of by many
people
We want girls for sweethearts, so that
when we get an arm shot off, or are kick
ed by mule, or thrown from a bucking
horse and laid away for repairs, we may
hear a gentle voice and see the glitter of
a crystal tear, spoken and dropped in un-
conscious sympathy of our pain.
We want fat and funny girls to make
us smile all over, ana lean and fragile ones
to hang upon our arms, and petite
blondes who show themselves on sunny
days, and stately brunnettes,-so beautiful
in the twilight. We have mineral enough
and plenty of coal and oxide of iron Th5
only lack of our resources is those potent
civilizers Of their pioneer brothers--the

The Breakup.
Sioux City Journal, 10.

People begin to speculate on the time
required 20 break up river ice. The snow
has only settled, little of it having found
its way into the streams. The ice is frOZ-
en- to the bars excepting i'll the channel,
and is so heavy that it will carry consider
able water before breaking up Accord
ing to the best reports attainable there is
yet little Snow above Yankton, not enough
of itself 70 make much of a rise. There
are the uncertain chances of gorges, and
snow and rain yet to fall to figure on.
The corges above, and not backed by
The water from rain and snow yet to fall,
are likely to bring only local disaster at
the worst. Two years ago the snow lay
deep in all the upper country, and the
thaw came late and began at the head of
the river The snow is now light up coun-
try, and the rhaw, coming so early in the
season, is not likely to let much water in
the river above mouth of the Niobrara
This whole matter of high water at the
breakup is as yet mostly a matter of
speculation The known conditions are a
thaw, thick ice and not much snow on the
up stream, a combination not in itself
likely to give anything sensational. There
is yet to hear from the weather between
the present date and the break up, some
thing about which Vennor, the ground
hog and the average citizen are alike COM
petent to guess.

The Fallanz Of thA HEraen Lunch,

Inc tallaCY OF tn5 troS lunCu'
The sturdy and illuStrious mechanic
the backbone Of American prosperity
is believer in and 4 patron of the
free lunch. 1t suits him, without in the
slightest degree jarring upon his indie
pendcnce or upon his selt-respect He
earns good wages, but his well-furnish-
ed home is far from his place of toll.
AS q prudent and thrifty man, he
so manages that his principal eating
shall be done at home, in the bosom of
his family. The free lunch fills up q
vacant corner. For the good of the
house, he supplements his free lunch
with modest drink. Now ga drink
costs precisely the same sum, whether
the drinker imhibe thimbleful or a
tumblerful; ard he who drinks for the
"good OF the house" is, as a rule, con-
tent with very small modicum of the
liquor he chooses. And it is this system
of one-priced drinks that makes the free
lunch not only possible, but indirectly
profitable If liquor dealer can sell 4
tumblerful of liquor for ten cents and
makes living profit out of the sale. it
is clear that his gain must be considera-
bly, increased when he gets ten cents for
thimbleful. The same sort of thing
obtains in the matter of lager beer and
porter and ales. A large schooner of
lager costs five cents, and a pony, about
third of schooner, likewise costs five
cents, which is at the rate of fifteen
cents schooner. Thus taking pony
for the '.good of the house" simply
means bestowing ten cents on the en-
terprising dispenser of free lunch.
Again, man can in one brief hour
drink good many ponies forthe good
of the house, but he cannot stow away
a good many free lunches for the good
of himself. In other countries, notably
in England, fcrmented and distilled
liquors are stringently sold by measure.
so that the only profit realized is the, diff
! ference between the cost at wholesale
and the price at retail. The extra profit
on a small drink as compared with a
large drink in no way comes in.-Bos-
