The "Col." says 'that to the credit
of Brockmeyer's listeners there was
no demonstration of approval of his
remarks" Now, how does the Col.
know this? He was not present in
person to hear Gov. Brockmeyer
speak. He was present, however, by
one or tive of his doliar-a-day subs.
Mark Twain tells story of how he,
while travelling in Germany, took ex-
erclse by putting his agent to SWIM
ming logs in a rayine and running ra-
ces with them while Mark sat by
looking on This is about the way
the Col. heard the speech of Cover
nor Brockmeyer. which has been SO
badly misrepresented by him. The
fact is the speaker was frequently in
terrupted by applause. He was lis
tened to attentively and has been the
subject of much favorable commen,
by men whose democracy consists oi
something more than a willingness to
run for Office in the party and pro-
nouncing the word democrat" cor
rectly. The only objection We have
heard made to the speech by listeners
is that it was too short-a criticism
that was never made in our hearing
of any Of the "CoPs'' rehashed ed.

There is trouble in the camp at
Rush Hill. Two cousins were lately
married, and a few days since the
groom disappeared and wrote back to
his bride that he would not return.
It is reported that the bride was
greatly distressed at the intelligence,
and fears we're entertained that she
would lose her mind, and parties have
accompanied her In search OF the

The Mosquito at Close Quarters.


Viewed through the microscope the
mosquito presents a picture of mechan1-
cal ingenuity as marvellous in execution
as it is devilish in design. 10 the bill
alone, which seems so fragile to the I'M
aided sight, there is combination of five
distinct surgical instruments. These
are, lance, two meat saws, and sue
ton pump. The fifth instrument have
forgotten, but labor under the impress
sion that it is portable Corliss engine
to run the rest of the factory with. I
know that the hum of the mosquito in
the cottonwood thickets along the lower
Mississippi reminded me constantly of
the hum of manufacturing village, and
several times 1 walked back several
miles looking for town before / could
convince myself that the buzzing Iheard
was made by mosquitoes, with their en-
gines running to sharpen their saws.
When the insects operate on man the
lance is first pushed into the flesh, then
the two saws, pla 3ed back to back, begin
to work up and down to enlarge the hole,
then the pump is inserted, and the VIC
TINS blood is syphoned up into the re-

Much Iectured vIotherS.

There is a suggestive story told by
Helen Campbell of Lydia Newman,
whose old Quaker uncle seeing that she
fastened her pretty little Newport ties
with poppy red ribbons, frowned and
told her it was not seemly. 81 don't
care for them myself" she said, {" but l
want my little boy TO remember that his
mother wore red bows on her shoes. !"
The old Friend retorted that the reason
was much worse than the offense; so Lydia
received lecture, but kept her ribbons.
The moral of this story is directed
against that lectured- by-everybody class,
the mothers of families When we think
of the ceaseless labors of good mother,
of her efforts to guide wisely her house
hold, to be her husbands best friend,
her chIldren's most interesting compan-
ion, it seems a shameful thing to find
any fault in her.
A really wise mother will take time to
dress herself tastefully, to be fair and
lovely in the eyes of her children, to
read and even to study for their sakes,
to learn and to talk on higher subjects
than the plague and curse of American
servants, to live In the present, to keep
step in the march of civilization. Very
difficult, almost impossible at times, is
to be child's conidant and companion,
to make home the dearest place in the
world to him, to dress becomingly for
the small lover who dotes on a "pretty
mamma" but mothers who have done
all tins are the mothers who have best
cause to be proud of their grown-up
boys.-NeU Orleans Times.
