"MAMMAs LITTLE COMFORT"

l know n little grille
With loving eyes so blue,
And lips just made for smiling.
And heart that's kind and true.
She wears no dainty dresses,
No jewels does she own,
But the greatest of ali treasures
Is her little self alone.
Her name is "Mother's Comfort"
For all the live long day
Her busy little fingers
Help mother cares away.
The sunshine loves to glisten
And hide in her soft hair,
And dimples chase each other
About her checks so fair.
oh this darling little grille,
With The diamonds in her eyes,
Makes in mothers heart u sunshine
Brighter far than Hoods the skies.
But the name that suits her better,
And makes her glad eyes shine,
Is the name Of mothers Comfort
This little treasure mine.

THE Law enacted by the late
Congress. providing for "postal
notes." will go into effect on Sep
TENDER 1st of this year, or earlier
if the engraving and printing can
be sooner done. The postal note
is to be as large as the greenback,
at the right hand are two columns
giving the months of the year and
the dates of twelve years, commenc-
ing with the present. On the left
hand are three columns Of figures
one, representing dollars, is mum
bered up to 4 the second, repre-
ing dimes, is numbered up to 9; the
third, representing cents, is also
numbered up to g, and each series
ends with a cipher. The note is for
sums less than SIS. The postmaster
at the Office issuing the note will
punch the month and the year, the
number of dollars, number of dimes,
and number of cents in their
respective columns, thus PIE
venting any alteration of the
amount or date. BY this system
the postal notes can be issued for
any sum from one cent up to $4.99.
In buying a note no written applica,
ton will be necessary. It will be
purchased like postage stamp and
will be payable to the bearer at any
time within three months from the
last day of the month of issue. The
body of the note is a form stating
the Office at which it is issued, the
Office to which it is sent and the
amount. When paid, the person
obtaining payment puts his sigma
ture on the note. 1t is not
claimed that the postal note
furnishes the same security as
the postal order how in use. In
the two years that the postal note
has been in use in Great Britain, it
has acquired great popular accep-
lance. The last annual report of
the British pOstmsster-general
shows that 4,442,e2O Of those notes,
aggregating 22,OO8,917, had been is
sued in one year. The average time
they were in circulation was six
days, showing that there is no foun
dation for the fear that they would
be devoted to permanent use of
money.

IT IS curious TO note that the
London Times should in all it's ar
ticles seem to look upon itself and
the British government as one and
the same thing, and thus deprecate
attempts to blow up Printing House
Square and Westminster as If the
two premises were of equal ma
tiOnal Importance. The truth is
that the London Times is very IN
popular with its printers staff and
several serious attempts have been
made of late to injure if not to de-
stroy "the Thunderer," and We now
learn from the cable that the instru-
ment with which it was proposed
to demolish the Times building was
nothing more formidable than that
with which some time ago, some
ill-conditioned persons pretended to
tbrea, en- Glasgow. But as 1t proved,
the Glasgow attempt was not at all
a terrible one, and If nothing worse
ever happens to it than this, the
Times should consider itself for
tunate.

THE CHINEsB governments man
ifestiDg disposition to retaliate
upon the United States. Americans
in the Flowery Kingdom are being
subjected to insult, and are ham,
pered and oppressed in their trade
and manufacture. The Americans
have no right to complain. We're
the Chinese to drive every citizen
Of this nation out of China, the
only reasonable complaint would
have to be lodged against The
American Congress and govern
ment, for nobody could find fault
with the heather for being
no more enlightened and liberal
than the great republic of the west.
One of the meanest things of which
Congress has ever been guilty was
the passage.of the Chinese restric-
ton bill, and what makes the
matter worse is the fact that the
men who voted for it were not in
favor Of the measure, but knew it
to be wrong; however, they were
not manly enough to brave the lip
assaults of an infinitely more dis
reputable and worthless class OF
men than the Chinese. The anti
heather mob, however, can and do
vote, while the celestial is willing
to let others manage the govern
ment. All he desires is to be pro.
yided with plenty Of work and hv
ing wages. If China will only return
to US what we have given them,
and repudiate Americans, this
ccuntry will be the first to cry quits,
for the Chinese can get along with
out US with much less difficulty than
We can get along without them.

TROUBLE Is said to be brewing in
British India in consequence of the
bill being likely to pass which will
give the native judges powers of
life and death over Europeans. Tbs
position is certainly one Of great
delicacy, for we remember hearing
that out of some twenty native
judges that have from time TO time
been appointed, nearly one-haIf have
had to be dismissed for taking
brides in cases taken before them.
A European. under such circum-
stances, would have but little
chance, and quite apart from all
question of race prediudiees, we
can sympsthise with Englisbmen
who find themselves likely to come
under the judgings of such men.

ALCOHOL AND education have
formed a singular alliance in Bel
GUM. An almsbox for the secular
schools is a recognized feature of
every place where liquor is sold, aud
every customer drops in it his sou as
regularly as he fees his waiter. A
school building costing 100000 has
just been completed from the sous
thus collected. The same plan is
being tried in France, but without
much success, though some think it
will have a great future.

Tn grandness Of the musical event now
near its approach IS looming up more and
more i'll the estimation of our people as the
time draws near for the magnificent at
fractions to be seen and heard in our Opera
house The railroad companies, apPreci-
ating the magnitude of the affair, have ar
ranged to sell excursion tickets from all
available points near here, and a trifle
more than the fare one way and tho inter
est IN the great musical carnival to he held
here the first week in April is exteAzang in
all directions, the result will probnbly be
such an influx of musical peoNa to ST..
Paul and Minneapolis on that wNs& n has
never before been seen.
The opening concert, MondaE evening,
will introduce one Of the grsS college
glee clubs of the west, a style OF musical
organization whose popularity is rising at
a phenomenal rate: Gottschalk, the in
comparable opera baritone; Montegriffe,
the leading Italian tenor; Nile. Sail,
the famous contralto, who &C
companied Patti on her recent
tour, and Mile Mantez, the violinist of the
Litta concert company. The second even
ing we are to have the Amherst glee club,
noted far and wide for its jollity and power
to raise the enthusiasm of the audiences;
and the Litta concert troupe, a combina-
ton of attractions hard to excel. Then on
the two succeeding evenings and matinee
the very successful Chicago Church Choir
Opera com oany will give three of those
most perfect presentations of Sullivan's
operas, representations in which it has no
superior in this country, and on Friday.

will appear, under the direction of that
greatest of impressarios Max Maretzek, III
a round of Italian operate presentations
fully costumed. and with an orchestra OF
thirty pieces.
Concerning the cost Of this colossal
enterprise the MinneapolisErenin Journal
of yesterday, says:
Some ides OF the expense involved by
the opening may be gained by compute
ton of the number of artists who will taxi
part therein, and the distance from which
they come. The Rauk-Litta- Maratzel
Grand Italian opera company will, wit
chorus and orchestra, number 70; Tn
Chicago church choir company, ia

College Glee club, II; the Oberlin Colleg
Glee club, Is; total, 168. The grand oper
company comes from New York; tn
Amherst club from Massachusetts,; tn
~Oberlins from Ohio and the church choi
company from Chicago. Add this heav
expense of travel to the salaries of so grea
a number of people, many of whom, bot
vocailsts and instrumetalists, are artists c

Musical Entertainment.

An agreeable musical entertainment
was listened to on last Tuesday evening by
about hundred invited guests, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. l.. R. Coruman, sol Mar
shall avenue. The principal performers
were Misses Nellie McClung, Ella Ware,
Jessie Young, Susie Green and Ada Rich
ardson, members of Miss Ella Coruman's
musical class. They acquitted them
selves admirably, and notwithstand-
ing their youth, furnished most
excellent music from one of Knabe's up
right pianos They were assisted by a
few adult friends. who varied the enter
tainment with some well chosen songs,
and the teacher, Miss Coruman, closed with
fantasia on the piano, skillfully rendered.
Altogether it was an entertainment well
worth listening to, and reflects credit upon
all the participants.
