People worship pure patriotism much
less than accidental greatness. Gen.
James Shields was the hero of three wars.
He had the honor of representing three
different States in the United States
Senate. He was one of the bravest,
heartiest, kindest of men, and yet his
grave at Carrollton, Missouri. is I'M
marked by stone or monument. He hap
pened not to belong to the particular set
which eomposes the grand national
mutual admiration society, and now he is
almost forgotten. He seemed to lack no
element of greatness except talented
claquers.

.APowerfnl Argument.

The Postmaster at New Orleans has
replied TO the charges which the commits
sion appointed to investigate his office
made against him a day or two ago.
From the charges and the reply it is APP
parent that the civil service law has not
worked much reform in the New Orleans
post office. The reply substantially a.
mits the charges. The Postmaster de-
tends himself by declaring that it is about
impossible to run the Office as it ought 10
be run, because he cannot get from the
ranks of the Republicans in Louisiana
honest and competent employees.
Anybody who knows anything about the
class of people who make up the Republi-
can party in Louisiana will admit at once
that there is a good deal of truth in what
the Postmaster says. There is probably
nowhere in the country such motley and
thoroughly rotten lot Of politicians as
there is in the Federal offices in Louisi-
ana. There are, Of course, some reputable
men among them, but the number is very
small. The offices are all located
in the custom house, and
that immense granite building
holds more incompetent, good-fOr-nOthing
and thoroughly bad Federal employees
than any other building under the juris-
diction of the government. If that collec-
ton Of government officials could be put
in cages and shown through the country,
and if at the same time the record of each
could be made known. the people would
Indignantly demand that the Republican
party should be driven from power. An
exhibition of that kind would be more
powerful than the rhetoric of orators or
the arguments of the press in influencing
the nennle tn turn the rascals ont

Actresses Divorces ENCOURAGED

eS'Tesses O'VorCcS encouraged.
The domestic infclicity characteris-
tic OF theatrical people, instead OF
being altogether due to themselves,
is encouraged by the cntcrprising

scandal is strong, and the actress who

pie of tho stage, says: "As rule, n
divorce suit is equivalent to IN nd
vance of at least rs per cent. in the
accresa' salary" As salary is con-
siderable of IN object with actresses
the temptation to become the heroine
of n divorce suit is, therefore, strong.
A divorce will not only relieve her of
Il husband whom she often supports
and who frequently sqlanders her
money, but will bring hcr II substan-
tial increase Of her earnings. While
this is the case, the position ct hns-
band to an actress, must remain Il
ticklish and uncertain one. In his
wifes desire to make herself popular
with tho public and valuable to hel
managers, he may suddenly be throw
upon the heartlcss world to make hi

JOHN PROWERS' DEATH.
Account Of a Successful Cattle King.-.
How He Married Beautiful SuuaW

A short timc since John prowcrs
died in Colorado, leaving wife thir-
ty-iive years old and ten children.
He was cattle king, his herds at the
time Of his death aggrcgating in value
over II million of dollars, while his
ranches and other property, real and
personal were extensive. The death
Of Prowcrs, his successes in life, and
many virtues, have been the subject
OF many newspaper articles.
Tho Pueblo Star tells Of his going
to Colorado and his marriage, thus:
Arriving in Colorado he entered the
employ Of Colonel Bent, u prominent
Indian trader, who operated near the
present site of West Las Animas, then
nothing but prairie and forest. The
pale faces were few in the new camps,
and the Indians though apparently
friendly were treacherous. But
through many dangers Prowers bore
charmed life, and after few
months residence among his new sur
roundings, began to discover new
affinities and grow very familiar with
the Chiefs Of the Cheyenne and
Blackfect Indians who occasionally
visited Fort Lyon. It was during
ono of the Indian pow-wows that the
traders and rcd skins were ncgotiat-
ing guns aud ammunition, tobacco
and trinkets dear to tho Indian heart,
for ponies, cattle and what was dearer
to tho palc pace heart land. Young
Prowers was present ut the council,
and when the long ncckcd pipe of
peace came round to him he took n
vigorous pull at it, but meanwhile
was most interested listener, though
he scarcely understood anything that
was said in the Algonquin tonguc.
There was n language, however, with
which hc was familiar. The language
Of love.
Among the visitors at the Fort was
Amy, the daughter OF the leading
Cheyenne Chief. When Prowcrs,
who was II years Of age at the time,
saw the Indian beauty, it was clearly
case of love ut first sight, and year
after that, in 1856, they were quietly
married ut the Fort. In his letters to
his family, thcn.in Westport, he spoke
of his bride in the most eloquent style
Of lovers. Tho family were scandal
lied by what they chose to term n
misclliance, but became, ere long, rec
onciled to his choice, in Wow of tho
fact that Amy has always proved her
self to be most devoted companion
and wife. BY this union came n fam
lily of ten children, seven of whom
are still living. Tho ''little widow"
as shc is called, is but 35 years OF age
now. AS tho daughter of chief she
brought to ihur husbUnd magniii-
cent dowry. She was but 10 years of
age when tho brave young trader
wocd and won her beside tho waters
OF West Las Animas Greek, and when
twelve moons had melted, and tho
wedding groups stood to receive the
bcnediction Of the chaplain, it is said
there was not Il moro beautiful wo-
man in the Western tribes. She still
retains q large measure Of that beauty
for which she once was famous. She
can talk English, but impcrfectly.

CITIES IN THE MOON.
The Very Entertaining Story of DIR.
Blendnann's Alleged Discoveries.
KelD York Sun

A letter from Berlin to a prominent
gentleman of this city contains a very in
teresting communication concerning the
alleged discoveries by DR.. Blendmann, a
professor in the Royal Academy in Ber-
lin, of evidences that the moon is inhabif-
ed. DR.. Blendmann processes to have
discovered that the telescope obsery a.
tiOns made up to the present time have
given negative result on account of the
excessive light that irradiates from the
lunar disk, which prevents an exact ex-
animation of the surface. DIR. Blendmann
softened the light by using the con-
densed smoke of camphor. He had
the exact measure of sOftening required
to obtain perfect image of the moon. He
then took with rejecting telescope a
very detailed and correct Photographic
view of the disk of the moon, which he
afterward exposed under powerful solar
microscope. The circle obtained in the
photograph had in the microscope an ap-
parent diameter of over thirty-three feet.
In this way, the story is, he was able to
perceive that what have been believed to
be seas are really regions covered with
rich vegetation, and what have always
been taken for mountainous regions are
deserts and seas. One can see, the letter
says, with striking distinctness cities,
towns and villages, and there are strong
indications of industry and commerce.
With a full moon DIR. Blendmann has OBJ
tanned Photographic views so distinct that
they indicate that if larger telescopes
could be used the discovery would be still
more completely confirmed.

A Midnight Vision in Mauye.


A funny arrangement of departments
has been made in one of our largest dry
goods establishments. One story Of a ca
pacious wing is devoted to underwear.
Now that may seem cOngruous at its first
blush, but you can see reasons for the
blushing being kept up when l explain
that one side is filled with men s garments
aud the opposite one with women's. Well,
there is one compensation, and that lies
in the unusual beauty of the undergar-
ments worn this season by New York
bellies. Delicate pale blue and pink is
trimmed for the purpose with Oriental
lace, and suppose we ought to be glad
of every fitting opportunity to
let masculine eyes see it under de-
corous circumstances. / never realized

opes of soft, ethereal cloud until gotinto
an India silk suit and so forth. They are
too fragile and delicate to be rudely
washed in tub, but are cleaned by the
same professional hands that reiuvenate
kid gloves and lace curtains. Night
gowns are also made of the same delight

in it, and a delicious pattern of lace
around the edges that is nothing short of
