LADIES' COLUMN.



A fashionable young lady visited a
cooking school the other afternoon,
where her attention was equally di-
vided between new dress worn by an
acquaintance and the directions for
making a cake. Upon returning
home she undertook to write down the
recipe for making the cake for her
mother. and the old lady was paralyzed
when she read Take two pounds Of

front, the whites Of two eggs cut bias,
a pint Of milk ruf1ed around the neck.

wouldn't eat such cake. and she
thought these new-fangled ideas in
cooking ought to be frowned down.

Siberia and its ExiIes.
III I-I-6E
HENRY Aro'HAeAN.

Mr.. George Kennan lectured recently
in New York on " Siberia He said
that if the United States and every
other country in Europe, except Russia,
were put into Siberia there would still
remain 900, ,000square miles uncovered
and that broad belt of land extending
from the southern part Of Siberia TO
what was known as the Central for
est was one Of the most fertile and
genial places in the Russian empire
The idea that exile life in Siberia is
one Of suffering in dungeons, and that
political agitators suffer untold miser-
les, is all mistake. "The Russian
government" he said, Sin the
beginning sent out its pris-
oners to Siberia in order
to settle the country. Good
homes were provided and farming
utensils given to the exiles, and such
is the case to-day. There are two
divisions in the exiles, the first Of
which | win designate as convicts and
the second as those simply banished.
The first class work in the western
part of the fertile tract have alluded
to. There are no exiles in any Of the
very cold parts Of Siberia. The only
convicts who work in mines are men
who, had they committed the same
crimes in America, would either have
been hanged or banished for life. The
second have farms which they culti-
vate for themselves in the eastern dis
trict. Most Of the inhabitants are
descendants of exiles who were BAN
ished long ago for very small offenses.
The number of political prisoners is
very small. From 1867 to 1872 64, ,225
people were sent to Siberia; $500 were
sentenced to hard labor and the rest
were only banished. There are annu-
ally about 443 political offenders
transported, two-thirds Of these
are mobiles and one-third Of
the other classes. So this proves
that nihilism is not popular
uprising against the Russian govern
ment. Tomsk and Omsk are two of
the wealthiest places in Siberia and
most Of the political prisoners aresent
there. Omsk has 10000 inhabitants,
452 merchants, public library, boys
military school and ladies seminary.
/ visited one of the political exiles, who
as photographer had made money
there. lie was living in a fashionable
house, adorned with pictures and
works Of art. He spoke bitterly
against the practice Of transporting
prisoners, but admitted that he was
living well. know that there have
been crimes committed in Siberian
prisons, but crimes as bad have been
committed in our own land Trans
portation there is great and growing
evil to society. The prisoners are,
however, very well treated. ] think
that the custom Of transporting
prisoners win be stopped in very few
years Or greatly modified

CITYTRADE

Eyes, sir, l am from the country; but I enter
tain modest suspicion that 1 am sufficiently in
telligent to know the difference between ancient
and modern styles. What I want is suit of
clothes that was made sometime during the pres
ent century"
"Certainy," says the polite salesman addressed.
"You can be accommodated. for you are now at
the Great Clothing Emporium of G. N. Oehm "
Son, where everything is made for the city trade;
consequently there can be no distinction in show
ing goods to our friends from the country. Here
the styles set, and you see, there is nothing
old TO select from. All the Patterns are new,
novel and pleasing, and for Cut, Fit and Finish
we are acknowledged without a rival. Your ex-
perence has evidently been among the expensive
clothing houses, where they devote considerable
time TO window exhibitions and chrome distribu-
tons. With us there is no necessity for such de-
vices. Our goods are all marked in plain figures,
and our Prices always lower than any other house
in the city.

The Signs of the Times.

The advice contained in the resolutions adopt
ed by our late convention and reiterated in the
remarks OF the Hon. Henry ID. farnandis to the
Democrats OF the county, in regard to Withhold
ing their votes from INSCRIPTIONS aspirants who
solicit, and have nothing to recommend them but
their persistent solicitations, is praiseworthy
effort to return to the original Democratic doe
trne-that the Office should seek the man. 1t is
certainly step in the right direction, and If OBJ
served, no doubt will result in a triumphant vic
tory for the Democratic party. Advice of this
kind coming as ii does from one of the best men
of this or any other county, is like an oasis in the
political desert; not only refreshing, but en-
couraging to those who have almost abandoned
the hope of rescuing our party from the abuses
and corruptions which have been almost imper-
ceptibly yet steadily encroaching, until they
have enveloped il to such an extent that it became
necessary to call halt. The temper OF the poo-
pie Is favorable to accept the advice and no doubt
will Gf designing men do not warp their judg-
ment,l select those who will be elected triumph
iactorily to all the citizens of the county. There
fore, it is TO be hoped that A, b., T., W., any
else who has heretofore been active in select
ing and thrusting candidates on the people, Will
refrain at this time and permit them TO perform
that duty untramelled. The people are on the
alert and if any thing is attempted which bears
the marks of caucus, those who expect TO reap
the rewards of intrigue will receive scathing
rebuke Therefore, as it is conceded that the
masses are right nine times in ten, and they in
tend to conduct their political campaign without
adventtious aid it will be at vantageous to the iu
ture interests of those who have considered them
selves leaders to fall in the ranks If they would
escape being overwhelmed by the political cy-
clone, the rumblings of which are heard on every
side. And inasmuch as the atmosphere appears to
be exceedingly unhealthy for bosses throughout
the country, it will be unadvisable for them to
expose themselves to the malaria at this time, if
they have the welfare of the Democratic party at
heart. Therefore with the view of preserving
their political health, the people say, Gentlemen,
hands off. You have placed our party in jeopardy,
and we intend to take the helm and assume con-
troll until she is out of danger You have suffer-
ed laws to be enacted grossly invading our vest
ed rights and creating Objectionable monopolies,
which intend reptifV before
render the helm. History informs us that the old
Roman Senator, Cato, invariably concluded his
orations upon whatever subject they might be,
with the remark, Carthage must be destroyed
If Cato were living now, the warning contained in
his concluding remarks would be, Monopolies
must be destroyed.

Telegraph Lines on Public Roads.

Mr.. EDITOR: I have seen it stated that the
Standard Oil Company have distributed along the
public roads telegraph poles which they intend to
put up for their own use. 1t will certainly be the
duty of the County Commissioners to have them
removed, and it Is the right of all land owners
binding on such roads to exact such payment for
the privilege as they may consider right. The
constitution of our State only allows condemna-
tion of private property for public use. A
chartered turnpike or railroad, both under the
control of the Legislature as to privileges and
fares, may come under this head. but cotton
factory and a telegraph, both very useful, but
not public things, would not be included in the
list Our citizens might be deceived by the state
ments of employees, and indeed counsel, one of
the former informing our people on Priootford
pleased over the land, and one of the last inform
ing me that / was trespasser when cut down
his poles. For the benefit of our own county
people hope you will publish this letter. 1t may
serve to draw attention to the imposition which
had been successfully practcedi in Hartford before
last summer. Respectfully,
