McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-08-07

there was scene which would make a
striking picture ON canvas. The Con-
ference Committee on the naval bill
were in session. There was Logan, the
Republican candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent Hale, of Maine, and the,stalwart
Beck, representing the Senate, with
Randall, Holman and Calkins, repre-
senting the House. For several hours
the committee debated and wrangled a
good deal of hard talk being heard from
all sides. But through it all, regardless
of the fate of the new cruisers, curled
up in great armchair, sleeping as
peacefully as kitten on a hearth-stone,
lay the little hunchback, tired out with
the cares of state. After the committee
adjourned in passionate disagreement,
Holman noticed the boy, woke him up
as tenderly as mother would, and told
him to 90 home. DOM PEDRO.

Two little creatures were sitting in
the gloaming-in one Of those old
fashioned, dizzy, delightful gloamings
that female novelists tell us about.
They were sitting there, and the
cleaning gloamed away, and the
creatures sat and sat. The two Great
ures were dude and dudelet, and
they were too-too. "Adolpheus," ut
tered she, with a sigh like unto a
sleepy cat,'O, Adolpheus - "What is
it, my beloved Alicia ? What wouldst
thou of thine Adolpheus % 81 would
i would =" "Speak, dearest !;
thine Adolpheus is ready to do any
thing to please his ownest own"
"Then, Adolpheus, O, Adolpheus, kiss

of the atmosphere, trembling Of the
young boughs overhead, and the
cleaning had it all his own way
thereafter. The verdict Of the coro-
ner's Jury was, "Swallowed each 9TH

LIE latest sensation III the amuSe-
ment field is troup of colored TRACE
dams. They opened the season in
New York last Tuesday evening to a
crowded house. The play produced
was s'Othello," and the fun was fast
and furious from beginning to end.
One report says, "The audience was
a very noisy, but a very witty one,
and had abundant opportunity to dis
play its humor. Othello was an es-
pecial butt, the gallery recommend
ing cholera medicine for his cramps
when the historic mole was writhing
in the agonies of jealousy, and enjoin-
ing him against squirming too much
lest he lose his liver pad. But Iago
was their meat. He was very black
Iago who played the part ''for all it
was worth" He wouldn't lose a sin
gle squirm nor ahate single wriggle
or scowl that he could get into his
part, and the audience were convuls
ed over his antics. "Look out, Cassie,
he's got & razor" yelled voice from
the parquette. "Slug him, Roderigo,
he's playing you for a sucker" scream
ed a gallery goI, when Iago was get
ting in some of his fine work. Then
when Othello went for Iago there was
general cry of "time,'' and pugilis-
tic injunctions came from all sides.
The scenes between Desdemona and
her lord aroused side splitting jokes
from the front. She was advised to
"get divorce" and ego for alimony"
and one wit posted her to the effect
that her coon had made another mash.
The whole entertainment was uproar-
ious in front Of the house, but the
colored actors continued their bust
ness gravely and paid no attention to
the hullabaloo among the audience.
The enjoyment of the latter was in
tense, even old and dignifed men
unbending and taking part in the
riotous merriment. The only draw
back was that as the tragedy worked
up to a climax the earnest tragedians
worked themselves up into a perfect
foam of perspiration. This is the only
way they got square with their tor
mentors. The performance was better
than a circus in many respects"

Her Monument.

She built it herself, and yet she dc
not know that she had monument
She lived in it, but she did not know
that it existed.
Her monument was her home. II
grew up quietly, as quietly as a flow
er grows, and no one knew-she did
not know herself-how much she had
done to tend and water and train it .
Her husband had absolute trust in
her. He earned the money A.; she ex-
pended it. And as she put as much
thought in her expenditure as he put
in his earning, each dollar was doub-
led in the expanding. She had inner
tied that mysterious faculty which we
call taste, and she cultivated it with
fidelity. Every home she visited she
studied, though always unconsciously,
as it were museum or an art gal
lery; and from every visit she brought
away some thought which came out
of the alembic of her loving magma
ton fitted to its appropriate place in
her own home. She was too genuine
to be an imitator- imitation is al
ways akin to falsehood-and she abb
horred falsehood. She was patient
with everything but a lie. So she
never copied in her own home Or in
her own person what she had seer
elsewhere yet everything she saw
elsewhere entered into and helped to
complete the perfect picture of life
which was always painting with deft
fingers in everything, from the honey
suckle which she trained over the
door to the bureau in the guests room
which her designing made new work
of art for a new friend, if it were only
by new nosegay and change of
vases. Putting her own personality
into her home, making every room
and almost every article of furniture
speak of her, she has the gift to draw
out from every guest his personality
and make him at home, and SO make
him his truest and best self. Neither
man nor woman Of the world could
long resist the subtle influence of that
home the warmth of its truth and
love thawed out the frozen proprieties
from impersonated etiquette, and
whatever circle of friends sat on the
broad piazza in summer Or gathered
around the open fire in winter knew
for time the rare joy of liberty
home was hospitable because her
heart was large and any one was
her friend to whom she could minis
ter. But her heart was like the old
Jewish temple-strangers only came
into the court of the Gentiles, friends
into an inner court her husband and
her children found court yet nearer
her heart of hearts !; yet even they
knew that there was holy Of holies
which she kept for her God, and they
loved and revered her more for 1t. So |
strangely was commingled i'll her the
nclusiyeness and the exclusiveness of |
owe, its hospitality, and its reserve.
All! blessed home builder You |
nave no cause to envy women with a |
gift" For there is nothing SO sa.
cred Oh earth as a home, and no priest |
IN earth so divine as the wife and |
mother who make it, and 10 gift SO
great as the gift which gratis this bud
If heaven on the common stock of |
earth. ellis children shall rise up |
md call her blessed ; her husband |
fish, and he praiseth her.

The application for a tavern license has in
1t these words, necessary and for the public
good" Will anyone tell us what possible
reference these words can have to an ordinary
dram-shop? Many years ago it was thought
that necessity existed for public houses
where travellers might be entertained with
good liquor as we'll as food and lodging.
A great change has come over liquors of all
kinds; it no longer pays to sell pure liquor,
whether distilled, brewed or fermented. Poi
sonous drugs are cheaper than corn, rye,
grapes or hops. Almost every dram of liquor
sold is made of poisonous compounds. If
any one doubts this assertion we can produce
the price-current of one of the leading drug
gists in Philadelphia which has been prepared
with special reference to the liquor trade.
We have also a small pamphlet from the
same source containing receipts for making
".pure liquors. from drugs. One receipt says
N"only one gallon of punch brandy is neces-
sary with the drugs to make forty gallons of
the best French brandy
Can men live by selling what is called gen.
uine liquor while the market is flooded with
such poisonous compounds? The only way
to protect the public and the ''trade" is to
have high license-at least SO say some peo-
pie. Is there any necessity for this work of
poison? Nearly every dram-shop in this
nation is opened simply and only for the sale
of liquor. If license to sell liquor were taken
away we doubt whether one of these houses
would remain open. These places are open
to entertain" men who wish to buy liquor
Is there any necessity for such places? But
suppose places are to be licensed simply and
solely for the purpose of feeding and lodging
Travellers why should license be chad and
obtained" for that? There is no law against
any citizen keeping boarding house. A
boarding house is only hotel on a small
scale. If hotels are closed there will be
boarding houses enough to accommodate all
travellers, as the law of supply and demand
will control this branch of business as it does
all others. But we are told, it will not pay
to keep hotel unless liquor is sold. Then
let the hotels close, that is all. Suppose it
does not pay to have store or blacksmith
shop in small village, what shall be done?

Rifemen are urged to use two eyes in
shooting, instead of one, by GA Volunteer "
in the London Times The present method,
practiced by most target-shots, of shutting one
eye and looking through the sights with the
other, is unnatural, he tells us; and all marks
men know that after time it causes pain
full strain on the single eye. Besides, accord
ing to MIR. Hay, it is device which cannot
be used with any degree of success on battle
feid-where the light is shifting and uncer-
tain, where the view is obscured by smoke.
and where, in short, the soldier wants to have
both his eyes open to see the moving objects
at which he is aiming-however useful it
may be for shooting at a fixed target with the
sights accurately adjusted to range which,
OF course, is known to yard

BE NEAT.

Young ladies, if they only knew how dis
gushing to men slovenliness is, and how at
tractive are displays of neatness and taste,
would array themselves in the simplicity and
cleanliness of the lilies of the field; or, if
able to indulge in costly attire, they would
study the harmonious blending of colors
which nature exhibits in all her works. A
girl of good taste and habits of neatness can
make more fascinating toilet with shining
calico dress and few cheap ribbons and
laces, and such ornaments as she can gather
from the garden, than vulgar, tawdry crea-
ture, who is worth thousands and has the Jew
elry and wardrobe of princess.

The old Jew who was willing to cruelty
the Saviour, was too good to put the thirty
pieces of silver that Judas brought back into
the treasury; but good people to-day are
willing to put the blood-money of high
license into the public treasury. 1t is all
right to kill man if you will pay enough for
it, but it is awfully wicked to kill without
license. Free rum is awful-it fairly makes
us culver all over with horror to think of it ;
but high licensed rum is a virtuous thing that
no good man can consistently oppose. Strange
what a difference there should be 'twixt
tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee

Judge Parker says there is growing con-
viction among the people that the dram-shop
must go, and for this reason, if no other, the
courts will grant the fewest possible licenses.
Very good, as far as it goes, judge; but some
of us would be pleased if you would go q lit
tie further and say there is no necessity for
any dram-shops. If there is necessity for
hotels where no liquor is sold that necessity
will be met by the business enterprises of the
people.

BEAUTY'S AID FROM THE TOILET.

Beauty is very much of an art after ALL
The lily and rose compilations, the perfect
luxuriance of hair, the general perfection of
face and form, as a whole, are very seldom
the gift of chance conditions. The most
beautiful woman, as o general thing, is the
woman who knows how to attend to her toilet
and it should form matter of instruction in
the education of every young girl Between
the two extremes of artifciality and of re-
formers hygenic notions, woman gets bewil-
dered. The latter, if carried out to the let
ter, would make woman outre in the extreme
and the former tend directly to disgust deli
cate and pure-minded women, so between the
two the average woman of home and society
lets herself severely alone, and consequently
is not half SO pretty as she might be.

BANKING OUT WEST.

Baltimore man who started bank at
Custer city year or SO ago failed within a
week simply because he didn't know western
human nature. His place had not been open
an hour when man in buckskin slouched in
and presented note of 300 running for
sixty days and asked to have it discounted.
~ don't know you," replied the banker,
who was his own cashier.
Stranger, that's my name thar at the bot
tom-Bill Riggs"
81 see.'
And that note is backed by Jim Madden. "
Z" see, but don't care to discount it,"
The man picked up the paper and walked
out and in the course of ten minutes chap
with pistol in either hand danced into the
bank and cheerily called out:
Here's Jim Madden, and he wants to set
eyes on ther galloot who won't discount a
note when he backs it."
He popped the banker in the shoulder, a
clerk through the hip, and then fired away at
the fixtures until some one called him out to
drink. The next morning the banker was
missing, and when he afterwards turned up
in Denver he acknowledged that the banking
business had some painful features that NO
one but cowboy was able to wrestle with.

THE COAST-GUARD.

Do you wonder what am seeing,
In the heart of the fire, aglow
Like cliffs in golden sunset,
With summer sea below?
see, away to the eastward.
The line of storm-beat coast,
And 1 hear the tread of the hurrying waves
Like the tramp of a mailed host.
And up and down in the darkness,
And over the frozen sand,
hear the men of the coast-guard
Pacing along the strand.
Beaten by storm and tempest,
And drenched by the pelting rain,
From the shores of Carolina.
To the wind-swept bays of Maine.
No matter what storms are raging,
No matter how wild the night
The CLEAN of their swinging lanterns
Shines out with friendly light.
And many shipwrecked sailor
Thanks God with his gasping breath,
For the sturdy arms of the surfmen
That drew him away from death.
ana so, Wnen tne vino is WalllnS.
And the air grows dim with sleet.
/ think of the fearless watchers
Pacing along their beat. =.
l think of wreck, fast breaking
In the surf of rocky shore,
And the life-boat leaping onward
To the stroke of the bending oar.
I hear the shouts of the sailors,
The boom of the frozen sail,
And the creak of the icy halyards
Straining against the gale.
" Courage !" the captain trumpets.
g They are sending help from land!''
God bless the men of the coast-guard,
And hold their lives in His hand
