the silence this time.
At length when there seemed an emf.
nent prospect that the pair would consume
the remainder of their mortal existence in
staring worldlessly into the Goals. and just
40 the widow reached that point when she
felt that she must speak or 90 mad. Mr..
SharpersOn did renew his conversation.
"WellY" he quaried.
"Well?" she echoed.
s.Eh!n
The lawyer was wholly unprepared for
having the burden Of the talk thrown up
on him, and beyond this rather incoherent
exclamation could say nothing. The widow
looked at the fire and look at her taciturn
wooer.
II must say" she observed. with a
touch of sarcasm in her voice. "that have
seen more ardent lovers.'';
Mr.. Sharperson looked rather abashed at
this, and indeed began to feel that IL his
suit for the rich widows hand was to
have any chance whatever Of success 1t
must be urged with more vigor. He
aroused himself by great effort and with
some warmth.
''That showed it MORE"
"C0me. !" the widow thought with some
complacency, 1--WE are getting on: it is
something to elicit speech of that length
from him."
Aloud she said:
VERY we'll, that showed it more. il you

smiling, and glanciAg up in a manner
which no man with blood in his veins
could have resisted, show am to Judge

For reply Mr.. Sharperson committed
the most remarkable deed of his entire
life. He rose from his chair with the ut
most elaboration, took step across the
wide hearth-rug to the side of his hostess
threw his arms about her neck and kissed
her with great heartiness and apparent
satisfaction.
Mercy" cried Widow Widgin, making
efectual efforts to disengage herself
"Who gave you the leave to kiss me? I
never saw such impudsnce."
But the other having once tasted the
sweets of her lips apparently enjoyed them
far too well to abandon the feast 80 easily
and he proceeded with JUNCTION to kiss her
again.
II DECLARE" she exclaimed. yielding
with good grace to what she evidently
could not help, 'by the way you 60 on one
would actually think we were engaged"
Whereupon the lawyer gazed at her with
great satisfaction and proprietorship shin

"We are," he said.

Mr.. St. Johs Interviewed.

In conversation with correspondent
OF the Baltimore San, a few days ago,
Mr.. st. John said that both the Republi-
cans and the Democrats would be utterly
surprised at the vote which he would poll.
He confidently predicted that the prohibi-
ton vote would reach q million, If not
more. He estimated that in his own
State of Kansas his vote would be 10000
and was certain that 1t would be so, 900 In
New York State. He also thought the
prohibitionists would have vote perhaps
large enough to affect the result In Wis
consin, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio. He
characterized Blaine's lodging the issue
in Maine as not only cowardly but
very silly act, and one that had received
the unmixed contempt Of those who are
on both sides of the question. He said
Blaine's declaration that the question
was local and not national was on q par
with the declaration made by Hancock az
to the tariff In 1880, and that Blaine
would find to his sorrow that 1t was ma
tional question. The correspondent was
much impressed with these remarks of the
great temperance advocate. for, as he con-
fessed, his own observations as to the
West have led him to similar conclusions.
Mr.. st. Johns criticism on Blaine's dodg-
ing is thoroughly appreciated in political
circles here. IT there is one thing more
than an other which has contributed to
whatever popularity Blaine enjoys, it is
his custom to toe the mark. The very
reason why the sentiment OF his party has
been rather in favor of condoning his
blunders or his wrongdoings, as the case
may be, is simply because Of the apparent
manliness displayed In dashing ahead
without regard to consequences. The op.
portunity presented to him at the recent
election in Maine was q supreme occasion
for the display Of nerve and independence.
Had he availed of 1t. whichever way he de-
cided would have been crested with ad-
hiring plaudits. strengthened him in the
hearts Of his friends and brought acces
si0ns to his standard. But he quailed be-
fore the test. lowered his crest and OK.
posed the sham and mockery of his claim
to the white plume.

and all OF these opponents thus corruptly
banded together against the friends of
good government. The number of these
opponents is small, but their wealth is
great, and it will be unscrupulously used
An active and vigorous campaign must
be made against them. Their paid advo-
Gates must be met and defeated In debate
upon the platform and in discussion in
the newspapers. The organization Of all
who are opposed to them must he per .
fected in every State, city and county in
the land.
Money is needed to do this honest work.
Your committee, refusing to adopt the
methods by which the Republican party
fills its treasury. calls upon all good clti-
zens for the aid which it requires. It in
vites and it will welcome contributions
from every honest man who is opposed to
the election OF James G.. Blaine as Presi-
dent. No contribution will be accounted
too small. Wherever bank, banker or
postal money order Office can be found,
the means exist for placing at the disposal
OF the treasurer Of this committee indivi-
dual or collective contributions In aid OF
the great cause in which we are engaged,
or money may be RENTED by mail to
Charles J. Conda, treasurer, at No. IL
west Twenty fourth street, New York.
When victory is achieved over the un-
scrupulous combination which is now en-
deavoring to thrust James G.. Blaine into
the preside initial Office. the recorded list Of
such contributors will be roll of honor
such as no other party in this country has
ever possessed.
Our opponents cannot be saved from
disaster by forcing their unwilling candi-
date to speak to aosemblages OF the peo-
pie. The man who wrote the Fisher let
ters will never be the choice Of the people
for the presidency of the United States.

How many of the farmers whose ma.
nure made during the winter lies in the
barnyard through the summer reckon
what they lose by not getting the use of
the manure during the growing season.
II many did. the practice of 30 leaving
manure would be much less common than
it is. 1t not infrequently happens that
manure pays 100 per cent, in single crop.
In some cases the farmer who allows his
manure to lie in the barnyard loses It's en-
tire estimated value. In other words il
manure is at once applied to the crops
and its use compounded it will be worth
twice or thrice as much as 1t Is In the
ordinary practice. There is little or no
waste.
WHILE farmer should endeayor to be
as accommodating as possible. there are
some things he should absolutely refuse
to lend. The first cost of small tools, hoes,
forks and the like is such trifle that no
farmer worthy the name will think Of Dor.
rowing. In the small use for scythes that
| is required under our PRESENT System Of
| farming. few farmers will care to keep
more than one or two. Yet every farm
should have at least one. besides grub
hoe for cutting weeds. These are tools
that IL once loaned are not apt to be re.
turned, or If sent home they will be In
such condition that they will be OF no
further use to anybody.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 3.-Sergeants 8.
Bainerd and Long and Private
connolly, of the Greely Arctic expe-
dition, are now here. They were
,hown this morning kilograms from
Washington stating that an army
officer who has seen the diaries of the
expedition says the survivors when
found were in two parties-one be-
iug headed by Brainerd and the
other by Long, and living separately
ss two tribes and refusing to speak to
each other; that Greedy was an in
valid the last two months, and the
psrty headed by Brainerd, who cared
for him like q child; that stealing ra-
tons was q common practice; that
hunters sent out for birds concealed
them for themselves. Each of these
statements Brainerd, Long and Con-
nelly emphatically deny. All insist
the party was not divided, but while
five slept in a wall tent, Brainerd
and Long slept together under q fly
tent because the interior was not
large enough for all. Sergeant Brain
erd says Lieutenant Greely walked
out every day and was able and COM
petent to command tie party
which he did throughout.
All agree that nobody except Henry
vas shot. A special report of some
army officer says: Brainard, when
found, was much stronger than the
rest. When he came on board the
Bear they were surprised at it, and
when he was asked why that was 80,
lhe said, "Oh, ! could eat the stuff
RnG digest it, but the others could
|not." When some of the rescuing
|party remarked the absence of DR..
!Psvy's body and expressed wonder
|as to what had became of it, Brain
|erd said, He is all gone, I finished
the last of him just before you ar.
rived" This being shown Sergeant

has picked up some interesting items
about some of the rolling-sto of the
Utah 4 Northern Railway. It says:
There are now just fifty engines on
the U. & N. road; q Brooks, 10 Bald
win, 3 Grand, and l Mason. At
present they are sufficient for the
work, but are all kept busy. When
cold weather comes, however, and
three or four are used on snow-plows
and perhaps two or three laid up or
wrecked, freight trains will be
obliged to lie still q day or two.
Four or five more could be used to
advantage.
The three new engines which ar
rived about ten days ago will be used
on the north end between Butte,
Garrison, Spring Hill. and on the
Anaconda branch. They are Brooks
engines. =
