Sweet-Minded Women.

So great is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around he1
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to
her that friends come IN seasons Of
sickness and sorrow for help and COM
fort. One soothing touch of her
kindly hand works wonders in the few
erish child; few words let fall from
her lips in the ear of sorrowful sister
do much to raise the load of grief that
is bowling its victim down to the dust
in anguish. The husband comes home
worn out with the pressure of business
and feeling irritable with the world in
general, but when he enters the cozy
sitting"room and sees the blaze of the
bright fire, and meets his wife's smil-
ing face, he succumbs in moment to
the soothing influences, which act as
the balm of Gilead to his wounded
spirit. We are all wearied with COM
batting with the stern realities of life.
The rough schoolboy flies in rage
from the taunts of his companions to
find solace in the mothers smile; the
little one, full OF grief with it's own
large trouble, finds haven of rest on
its mothers breast; and SO one might
60 on with instances of the influence
a sweet-minded woman has in the So
cial life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power when
compared with hers.

Hendricks Was Kissed.

Immediately after the assassination
of President Lincoln, public meeting
was held in Indianapolis. Among the
prominent men on the platform were
Governor Morton, Joseph E. Mcdonald
and Thomas Hendricks. 1t being at
the close of the war, there were thou
sands of soldiers in the city on their
way to their homes, and they attended
this meeting. Morton spoke, and so
did Mcdonald, and they were both lis
tened to with respectful attention; but
when Hendricks arose, he was met
with volley of Kisses, which were re-
newed every time he tried to speak.
His opposition to the war for the Union
and his hostility toward Lincoln were
so we'll known that they refused to lis
ten to him. Finally Morton stood up
and pleaded for hearing for Hen
bricks, and he was allowed to speak;
but he said but little, and that little
fell very fiat. This was nearly twenty
years ago, but there are yet thousands
of old soldiers who have not forgotten
Hendricks war record, and do not be-
lieve in his asserted friendship for Lin

How to Paper q Room.

An experienced workman in this
line thus advises: Don't try to pa
per with a carpet down. Make paste,
cut bordering and the paper the day
before. Ifthe wall has been white
washed it must be washed with vine
gar to nutralize the alkili in the lime.
Ifpapered before and you wish the
paper removed soak with water and
it will peel off: If convenient pro-
vide a long board, as wide as the pa
per, though q table or two will do.
The paper must be measured, placed
right side down on the board, then
with a brush proceed to lay on the
paste. Not too thickly but over part
and be careful that the edges receive
their share. When completed double
within three inches from the top, the
paste sides being together, carry to
the wall, mount your chair and stick
your three inches pasted paper on the
wall at the top. That holds it; now
strip down the other and see that it
fits just right; then press to the wall
from the center right and left. Leave
no air under or when warm it will eX-
pand and burst the paper.
Of course the paper must be matched a;
it will not do to measure by line I'M
less the walls are perfectly plumb,
Small figures make less waste, and
small room looks larger. Stripes make
a low room look higher, and if there are
| no figures between, or in the stripe,
| to match, there is no waste,
and no trouble in putting on.
If narrow border is the style let it
be bright, if the paper is neutral, but
If that be bright, the border had better
be bright or neutral.
If the paste be made too thick the
paper will be apt to crack and peel off
if too thin 1t will saturate the paper
too quickly and make it tender in
putting on. A counter buster brussels
brush) is nice to brush the paper to
the wall. White clean cloths will do
but it will not do to rub the paper with
them; being damp the paint or color
rubs off the paper. The tables must
be dried each time after FASTING, for
the same reason. Paste under paper
must not freeze neither dry too quickly,
If whitewashing is done after papering
place shingle next to the border, or
better, tack double strips ofnewspaper
wider than the border all around the
room. "-Housekeeper.

An Old Comprehend.

Mr.. Hendricks record is longer than
Mr.. Cleveland's and more consistent.
In fact it's consistency is the most ag-
gravating feature of it, for from first
to last he has opposed the great prin-
ciples upon which National honor and
prosperity have been built up.
Mr.. Hendricks advocated the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise.
Mr.. Hendricks opposed the repeal of
the Fugitive-Slave lazy.
MI. Hendricks opposed the constitu-
tionA amendment abOlishing slavery.
Mr.. Hendricks opposed the War for
the Union and gave moral aid and
comfort to the Rebels.
Mr.. Hendricks advocated imitation
and reputation.
Mr.. Hendricks on the tariff question
takes the free-trade side, though he has
desperately tried to straddle it.

Wouldn't Take His Advice.

One day soon after Pope's defeat at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, q pri-
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio regi-
ment sought an interview with his cap
tain, and announced that he had a
plan for o military campaign which
must certainly result in crushing out
the rebellion. The officer very natur-
ally inquired for particulars, but the
soldier refused to reveal them, and
asked for q chance to lay his plans be-
fore Pope himself Aftor some delay
he was given o pass to headquarters
He did not get to SEQ Pope, but after
the chief of staff had coaxed and prom
ised and threatened for quarter of an
hour the Buckeye stood up ard replied:
well, sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands, and
if we don't lick the South inside OF six
ty days you may shoot me for patent
hay-fork swindler?'
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he met
with, and he ruefully replied:
"Wall, they had plan of their
own"

Democratic Campaign Methods.

The methods employed by the Dem
ocratic party managers to carry Ma
tional elections appear to vary with each
campaign. 1t would seem, however,
that this year they have. reached the
lowest possible depth of meanness-a
depth which suggests the cheerful
Thought that they are engaged in a last
desperate struggle. Let us see what
methods they have employed to con-
troll the National elections for the. last
twenty years:
1864: BY fraudulent returns of votes
of soldiers.
1868. BY repeating and fraudulent
naturalization.
1875. By tissue ballots and cipher
dispatches.
1880. By forged letters and af1idavits.
1884. BY DETACHMENT Of tombs.

Nothing can be more contracted
than the notion that the Worlds In.
dustral Exposition at New Orleans is
a small affair that has no widespread
and lasting influence and no signifi'
canoe outside the Southern States.
1t is not only a worlds fair in the best
sense of the term, but it is the largest
in buildings, in number and variety
ofexhibits, in special features, in the
number of nations and peoples who
have contributed to give it universal
character. 1t impels States to enter
the lists as honorable rivals; it causes
the foreign manufacturer to contend
with home producers for the mastery
in many lines of human endeavor.
1t makes the whole nation know it's
weakness and it's strength at glance.
1t Will enable more people to come to-
gether who have heretofore been left
out of the procession, and present OPP
portunities of forming friendships and
promoting general good will among
all nations, such as have never oc-
Cured before. 1t will enable hun
dreds Of thousands of visitors to be-
come acquainted with the natural
wealth of the South. The Central and
South American republics will be
brought to the front for the first time.
Manufactures will have chance to
see and talk with many representa-
tives of the forty millions of consum-
ers who live to the South of our coun-
try, and with whom it is one aim of
the Exposition to cultivate such
friendly relations that they shall be-
come desirable customers for our man.
ufactured articles. The exhibit of the
products of American and Mexican
mines displayed at the Exposition
will be larger than has been hereto
fore attempted. The Cotton Centen-
NAL feature alone will engage the at
tention of the people of every country.
The Exposition is not sectional nor
purely American except in the idea
of its magnitude. 1t oughtnot to be a
difficult matter to understand the
significance of the Worlds Industrial
Exposition of 1884-85.

business men or farmers looking for
homes in the west if they wish to locate
where times are brisk should settle III
Minnesota or some similar place where
the farming country is well developed.
The following from u correspondent
III the American Agriculturist eX-
plains why places farther west are so
dull just now.
~" hen country experiences q
boom III emigration, it brings along
with it doctors, lawyers, bankers, dry
goods merchants, grocers, and me-
chanics generally. They locate at the
nucleus of a village, and the land
buyers at first have generally to en-
ploy all of them in one way or another
Business is consequently brisk for
them. When however, the tide of
emigration recedes, and the land
buyers have scattered to their various
prairie homes and become settled, the
demand for the services of professional
business and trades-peOpled iminishes.
The village becomes dull; the hurly
burly and excitement which charact-
erized the boom, are gone, and the
villagers who rely Oh the farmers,
complain ofvery dull times, and be-
gin to question whether the Far West
is such Il great place after all. AS the
surrounding country, however, begins
to develop, and the virgin soil yields
crops to the tillers, money begins to
flow into the villages. At first it was
the money brought by the land-buy-
ers from the Older States; now it is
the morey made there ION the spot"
domestic money, so to sp eak. as
contrasted with imported. 1t contin-
ues to increase with the increasing ag-
ricultural development of the new
region, and the villages and towns re-
gam the activity which characterized
them at first; that is such towns and
villages as pull through the reaction
airy period and are not abandoned.
Every new region experiences this
transition state. The villagers have
to Wait for the surrounding country
to catch up, as it were, and during the
W aiting-period it is dull indeed"
