Laying the Foundations.

He who would achieve an honorable
success in life should take lesson from
the old Crack architects. They laid the
foundations of a temple as thoroughly
as if the stones were to meet the public
gaze.
Daniel Stafford, Boston mechanic,
who honorably gained success in bus
mess and position i'll society, uncon-
sciously initiated these Greek builders.
When an apprentice he wrote in his
diary:
"Resolved, that 1 will be as faithful
and thorough in working for my master,
as if / were doing it only for my
self"
In after life, when he had achieved
fortune, Mr. Stafford used to say that
much Of his success was due to his faith
full adherence to that resolution.
Elk Governor Morgan, Of New York,
who has just died, after filling stations
Of the highest dignity, laid the founda-
tons of his large fortune by obeying
similar rule.
He determined to make himself so
necessary to his employer that he could
not be spared. He was taken, in later
boyhood, into his uncle's grocery store
on a salary of forty dollars year.
No one in the store did better work,
or was more obliging and useful. The
second year he demanded one hundred
dollars. The uncle could not spare him,
and was unwilling to give higher wages
than to older clerks. He compromised
with his nephew by giving seventy-fve
dollars. The third year the young man
was master of the situation, and the I'M
Gle was glad to retain him by giving him
place in the firm.

The scandinavian countries has been very
great in 1881 and 1882, it is fair estimate
that there are now in this country over $780,

that children born in this country OF Scan

not too much to cay that the Scandinavian pop

A Bad Pard to Have Along.

Denver (Col.,) Special: The trial of AL.
fred G. Parker, the San Juan ghoul, charged
with numbering five companiona in San
Juan county in 1872 which has been in
progress in Lake City the past few days
was concluded tonight, and the case was
given to the jury. The evidence shows that
party of SIX organized in Utah 1872 to
prospect Southern Colorado. While IN the
vicinity of the present site of Lake City blind
ing storms came on. They lost their way,
and their food gave out. For days together
they lived on rosebuds. The men became
desperate, some crazed. While his COM
panions was in this condition, Parker DELHI
erately fell upon and butchered the whole
party, and for several weeks lived on flesh
cut from their bodies. In the course of the
trial, Parker made statement calmly, and
for two hours he related the experiences of
the party from their setting out in Utah,
closing with the most sickening details of
the murder and subsequent feasting on hui
man flesh, claiming the killing was done in
elf-defense. Evidence shows that each
member of the party, except Parker, pos
sessed large sum of money, upon which
the ghoul has since been living. After nine
years wandering he was captured q few
weeks since near Fort Fetterman, Wyo.
While the evidence is entirely circumstan-
tial, yet it is deemed conclusive. A YER
dict of guilty is rendered.

THE HOUSE WITH CLOSETS.

How dear to the heart Of the housekeeping

Nice children, good servants and plenty of

The big airy closet, her joy and her pride.
The house oo,,:! may be perfect from garnet to
Well lighted, we'll aired, with cold water

And yet to the eye of the feminine dwellcr,
Ifclosetless, all is as if it were not.
How oft she has sunk like dove that is

How oft she has secretly grumbled and
Because she saw not, though with all else

For you and your Ewes all complete as q

To read in, to write in, to sleep in, to feed

Forget not the closets so dear to the soul;
But build them in corners, in hooks and in

Wherever closet may harbor or hide,
And give to your Mary's your Hates and

The big, airy closets, their joy and their

The roomy, clean closets, the well.ordered
closets,
The big, airy closets, their Joy and their

End Of the Lake City Sensation.

Later developments in regard to Miss
Lucy D. Watson, who fled from her father
and promised husband, to avoid marriage
with the latter, are as follows: By the ad
vice and assistance of friends here to whom
she expressed an aversion to fulfill her mar
riage engagement with Mr.. Gresham, she
started on visit to her grandfather in
GAINESVILLE, Wis. At La Crosse she halted
on her journey, to await the forwarding oil
some cIoahing for which she wrote to friends
here. These friends concluded to advise
her to return, as she was not ,liged
to get married unless she wanted
to, even if the license had been
procured. A sympathetic relative went
after her and escorted her to the residence
of William Wilson in this city ,swhere, hav-
ing become reconciled to Charles Croshaw,
she was united to him in marriage by Rev.
T. b. Killiana on Tuesday. Therefore, the
money invested in procuring license, was
not wasted. The bride shed tears profusely
when the nuptlal knot was tied, and the
happy couple took the next train for trip
to Minneapolis. Mr.. Croshaw is a we'll.
fixed and highly respected farmer of Lake
township, and the wife he has acquired is
intelligent and amiable, with many
friends. ri Il.

THE ASSASSIN DOOMED,

Joe BRADY FOunO Guilty OF the Mur.
ders OF Burke and Cavendish and
Sentenced to Hang May IL.
On Friday last at Dublin, Ireland, the
trial of Joseph Brady was concluded. The
Judge charged the jury, and the jury re-
tired.
They did not remain long away, for alter
about forty minutes they sent word that
summoned back to their benches, announ-
ced, anil breathless silence IN the court,
that Joseph Brady was guilty Of the MUIR
der of Lord Cavendish and Burke. The
judge finished his charge at 1913 and the
verdict of the jury was rendered at 1856.
When the verdict was read, a deep but sup
pressed murmur went round the court room,
and Brady, who up to this time had been
singularly composed and free from
emotion, turned ashen pale. DR..
Webb started up to make motion, and af-
ter com plete silence had been reitored, and
before the Judge had pronounced the SEN
tence Of death, said in an impressive voice:
IL desire to move for arrest of Judgment"
He alleged that under the crimes act, the
jury which heard the case and had Just CIV
en- in. its verdict, was not legally formed
that the prisoner had not received notice
that he was being tried before a special jury.
who now said to the prisoner: 'tHave you
anything to say why sentence of death
should not now be pronounced upon yon?"
Brady responded, in loud, clear and firm
voice: II am not guilty ofthe charge which
theinfOrmers have sworn on me! These men
would swear away the life of anyone to save
their own" Sentence was then pronounced
that on the 14th of May next Joseph Brady
be hanged. After the sentence, Brady, who
bad recovered bis composure, rose in his
seat, and with solemn vehemence protested
is innocence of the crime. After making
bis last declaimer he was hurried from the
court room by officers. In the street the
announcement of the verdict bad been re-
ceived with the utmost disfavor and con-
demnation. Great crowds had waited i'm
patiently about the doors of the tribunal
until the conclusion of the trial, and now
were packed still closer about tile building
in hopes of getting sight of the condemn
ed man as he was taken TO Jail.

They were much superior to the men in

The Servant Girl in Social Life

Shortly after the flood, as We are in
formed, Abrams wife turned her do
nestle, Hager, out of the house on &C.
count of her arrogant conduct, which is
perhaps, the first authenticated in
stance on record of trouble be.
tween mistress and servant girl.
This sort of trouble, which began
50 early, still survives in forms SO vari-
GUS and often SO exasperating as to raise
the impatient question whether the
serving class is the only dark part of
creation which improvement has failed
to reach. The question is, no doubt, full
of aggravation and disagreement, yet
there has been improvement, but it has
been of slow attainment, forming no ex-
ception to the great law of progressis e
social amelioration.
Social changes, it is to be remembered !,
especially of the alternating and elevat-
ing kind, are always slow. We are be-
ginning to talk about social evolution
and the new science of sociology which
treats of it, but we have to take ages in
to account before we can realize any
positive conception of advance. Much
of the barbarism of early society clings
tenaciously to the domestic relation,
Wnll0 IO0 uOuluCALlOQ Oh uuIIldIl udLUTo
and the corresponding modification of
social imperfections go on. but very
gradually, tardily and parcially.
A still further reason for the slowness
of improvement in the present case
arises from the popularity of the rela-
tons involved. In time of early vio-
lence, it is the weak that are subjugated
and enslaeed. and, as civilization advan-
ces, it is ever the lowest and most ignor-
ant class of any society that falls into
the condition ofmeniaI servitude. The
feeblest, the least competent, the least
provident, naturally sink to the bot
tom of the social scale and become
the helpers. the dependents, the
drudges, and the servile appendices
o: the classes who have wealth,
intelligence and power. In domestic
life these relations become organized
with the abject class at the base of the
social. structure. Improving agencies
will obviously not take effect alike upon
the higher and lower elements. Many
causes will operate powerfully to main :
tain separate interests, to favor the SUI
perior class, and to hinder their infer
Tors, so that servants will be the last to
be reached by eievating agencies.-From
