No USE FOR THE FRAUD IN PUBLIC
LTFE.-Mrs. Hayes's husband, II. b.
Hayes, who for four years occupied
the Presidential chair that belonged to
Samuel j. Tilden and then sank into
oblivion, has actually poked his head
out Of his retirement for the purpose
Of whispering confdentially into a
friends ear that he is longing TO re-
enter public life and would accept the
United States Senatorship. This pro-
cedure Of Mrs. Hayes husband must
be extremely amusing to the other
candidates, and they are doubtless
having many quiet laugh over the
idea that anybody could find any posi-
BILE use for the Fraud in public life.
They certainly have no fear OF him as
a competitor for the prize, although
some Of his own enthusiastic friends
are reported to have bought news
paper in his own interest. 1t will,
however, do them and many other
people good to see Mrs. Hayes hus-
band spend some Of the salary he had
no right to draw in attempting to

BATHING IN SALT LAKE.-In the
water Of Salt Lake bather can lie
on the surface Of the water without
any exertion whatever, or by passing
towel under his knees and holding
the two ends he can remain in any
depth Of water kneeling, with the head
and shoulders out of the water, or by
shifting it under the sole of the feet
he can sit on the water. The one ex-
ertion. in fact, is ones balance; none
whatever is to keep ahoat. The only
danger, therefore, arises FROM choking
by accidentally swallowing some of the
water, for the strength of the brine is
so intense that the muscles of the
throat are convulsed, and strangula-
tion ensues. All the same, | have

Are widows really so fascinating2
The popular impression seems to be
that single women are placed at an
extreme disadvantage when brought
into competition in the matrimonial
race with those Of her sex who have
once worn the orange blossoms, and
who have been compelled by fate 10
assume the sable habiliments Of woe.
Strange TO say. widows themselves do
not share ia this almost universal
opinion. There is not one Of them
who does not believe that she Is heavi.
ly Handicapped, ESQ to say, in con-
test, and who would not gladly ex
change places, II she could, with her
single sisters. The attractive widow,
nevertheless, carries of the bachelor
sweepstakes very often, leaving her
spinster rivals pale with envy aud wild
with rage. Her conquests, however,
are very much exaggerated. Widows
who have not n comfortable bank &C.
count, or corner lot, find ii as diff
cult to elicit proposal as other dow
erless members of the sex. Whom
we first love we rarely marry has be-
come a truism, and herein lies the adj
vantage of the widow with a large

and the old flame is easily relighted.

MUTTON FOR AUsTRALIA.-That
cargo of 800 tons of frozen mutton,
recently sent from New Zealand to
London, has set statisticians in the
sheep raising regions of the West to
figuring on possibilities of the future.
Mr.. Armour, the great Chicago deal
err, says the United States can never
compete with Australia in supplying
Europe with mutton. A California
paper admits this fact. 1t says Aus
tralia and New Zealand have over
10000, 900 sheep, and that the annual
increase is 30,0O0,0OO a year. The
colonies can more than supply the
mother country out Of the annual in
crease. English mutton sells for
seventeen to twenty one cents pound.
In Australia the sheep are killed for
their skins and the carcasses thrown
away. Even at eight cents pound
there is big profit in shipping the
mutton to London. The artificial ice

in trouble. Expecting to run into Indianapolis
over the Bee Line system on May l, the latter
part OF April they contracted. it is stated, to
bring lot of sugars through from Boston to an
Indianapolis merchant and TO st. Louis parties
at a five-cent per 100pound cut in the rate, to
be paid in the form of a rebate. Tire arrange
ment by which the line was operate was not
carried out, the Bee Line people deciding that
they had fast-freight lines enough operating
over their road, and the Lackawanna line man
agement have not as yet succeeded in securing
route to indianapolis and st. Louis, consequently
the sugar has not yet been shipped. For
tunately for the line sugars have ruled steady in
price for some days, and the failure to forward
them has not necessarily incurred damages.
