out, and used to ornament dresses of thin
material.
Odd Brooches of red-yellow gold or
silver are shaped like a toad with eyes

The Country Paper.

There is one thing that strikes us as
being most remarkable in the conduct
Of United States journalism, and that
is the pith and strength of expression
that runs throughout the so-called
country press. 1t really is in the coun-
try press that thought finds the strong
est expression. Occasionally country
editor betrays ignorance or carelessness
of the rules of grammar; sometimes he
gets "little off, on the matter of
propriety but the country newspaper,
like the country voter, has larger
force in shaping the destinies of the
people for whom we journalists all
write, than the whole sO-called me-
tropolitan press combined. Indeed,
the facts lead to the following kind Of
formulation of the uses of newspapers !:
The papers Of the great cities supply
current news in the mass, as it IS their
province to do the country newspaper
digests the news into the shape of prac-
tical and effective thought. The man
of the country has time to think he
of the city has barely time to record,
and if he attempts to make deductions,
his time is so short and his oppOrtuni-
ties so liable to be tinctured with bias,
that he frequently comes to grief
and has to eat his own words. 1t is in
the cities that the doctrine has grown,
that newspaper has neither con-
science nor memory; such doctrine
would ruin the most successful country
newspaper in the union. The great
dailies Of the great cities are magnifi-
cent organizations for the collection and
dissemination Of news, but there their
functions, except as to the manipulation
of local, political and social affairs,
cease. The country newspaper should
be vehicle of thought, and generally
is 50. The facts are spread before them
by the great city dalies, and they control
or guide public sentiment.-American
Journalist.

Literature Makers.

First Of all, the reading world de-
mands to be entertained. 1t is for that
it reads-when it reads only-not
studies. Literature does not bow to
it as humbly as it once did. .Litera-
ture is no longer a royal mendicant.
And yet we do not liberate it from sub
ornation to our caprices. And, under
certain limitation, this attitude is the
readers clear prerogative. Literature
must be the suitor in courtship; and
all that lover ought and ought not to
be to the reading world.
But, then, what ought the reading
world to be? A faithful, right-minded,
true-hearted mistress, willing to be
won by service, not servility.
Are we going to demand, asks the
young aspirant, that he bow down to
our crochets and whims The re-
quirement that he shall court and
strive to please, he is ready and eager
to meet. He sees its necessity but he
sees, too, the danger of its overgrowth.
He sees that if he ever let's that neces-
sity dictate to him and allows himself
to vince or cringe under the frown of
commercial or political interests; or
the petulance of sectional prejudices
and self-love or the tardiness of pecu-
mary returns, or the disregard of the
multitude, his own reading public
itself will by and by turn and impeach
him.
We want consequently, to assure our
young men here that they will not
have to meet these unjust demands /;
but that our exactions and limitations
shall be such only as are consistent
with the perfection of candor and good
faith in both them and us. Two de-
mands we have a fundamental right to
make, and we make them both at once.
To wit, that our literary product shall
be at the same time both national and
universal, in character and value

THE JAPANESE PLAN.

= In Japan
The curious man
Can find out a woman's age by plan
She has over there
OF arranging her hair,
AS only a Japanese lady can.
A loop or two more,
A hairpin less
By signs like these is the truth betrayed;
So that looking her DER
1t is easy to guess
Whether she be wife, widow or maid.
'Tis a style
'TWould be worth while
For us to import from that Eastern isle;
Though many a maid,
1 am much afraid,
Would such fashion at once revile.
If hairpin more
Would settle doubt,
The American feminine, I'll engage,
To be safe on that score
Would leave those out
That were most likely to tell her age.
No. 'Twont do
That is true;
And he who is anxious to interview
And their temper vex [you?'
By the impudent question, How old are
If he would know
The truth exact
The prying, sprying, curious man
He had better go,
When his trunks are packed,
And spend the rest of his days in Japan.

A STORY is in circulation that is
rather absurd on its face that Tom
Mast, the caricaturist, whose pictures
have had a great presence of absences
lately from Harper's Weekly, is about
to sue the Harpers for not using his
cartoons. 1t is alleged that they still
pay him $4,000 per year for cartoons
which he still makes, but they shelve
them and he is mad about it. Well,
with all the good and capital work that
he has done, he has done some other
that he deserves sharp treatment for.
There was never anything more brutal
than the cartoons on Horace Greeley,
and one especially that represented
him as carried out ON a bier, which
was issued the very week Of Mr.. Gree
ley's funeral. There was never any
thing quite as diabolical as some Of
the cartoons of that time and they
will be lasting disgrace to Harper's
Weekly and Tom Mast WiIliamsport

The Drum Majors Dauohter.

Last week the Carleton company gave its
first performance of Offenbach's La File du
Tambour Major, in Chicago, and a large
audience gathered at HooIey's in honor of
the event.
This opera may be said to belong to the
second epoch of the career Of the king of
opera bouffe. 1t was written when he had
seemingly repented of the can-can and fro
lies of La Belle Helene, Orpheus, Barbe Bleu
and the rest, and devoted his genius to the
more demure music of romantic school of
opera comique. La File du Tambour Major
was a favorite work with its composer, and
it contains some of the finest music that Off
enbach ever wrote. Musically this opera
rises superior to Les Bavards, Madame LAT
chiduc, or Madam Favart. There is not a
dull or ineffective number in the score, and
although there are few melodies which whis-
tiers are likely to stow away for future refer
ence, that is on the whole an argument in
its fayor,-Ne1oS Letter.

THE OLD, OLD STORY,
But Ever New-Francis Murphy
Speaks This Afternoon.
Hear Him.

Last Sunday afternoon two thousand
people heard Francis Murphy deliver his first
address in st. Paul. The general knowl-
edge of the talents of the man, the fame of
the Christian spirit in which he presents his
cause attracted this magnificent audience to
the Grand Opera House. Hundreds of those
who heard him on that occasion followed
him through the meetings occurring each
evening of the week, and thousand people
signed the Murphy temperance pledge.
This afternoon at half past three Mr.. Muir
ply speaks again at the Grand Opera house,
beginning the second week of his work in
this city. It goes without saying that his
presence here has produced the largest
awakening upon the subject st. Paul has
ever experienced, and the coming week
promises to be one of greater interest and
progress. If the meeting to-day meets ex-
pectations, and no doubt it will in both
numbers and interest, the momentum OBJ
tanned will push on the grand work in an
organized form that will carry its force into
every quarter of the community.

Campaign Talk.

NEW YORK, Sept Ga visit to the Repub-
lican national committee headquarters
showed a large corp of clerks busy sending
out documents. The correspondence of the
committee has become immense. For the
last three or four days Senators Allison, Don
Cameron, Harrison, of Indiana, Miller, Of
New York, and Secretary Chandler have been
in close consultation with the committee.
Secretary Chandler said to an Associated
Press reporter that all the members of the
administration were hearty in their support
of the ticket and with the coming cool
weather they would enter heartily into the
campaign. 1t was rumored that Gen. Ores
ham and Gen. Brewster had rendered their
services as speakers. Senator Allison was
enthusiastic over New York and Harrison Of
Republican success in Indiana. In both the
Democrat and Republican headquarters it
was agreed that Ohio in October would prob
ably be the battle field.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The hue and cry of the dramatic critics and
literary men across the big drink and for
that matter of the super critical gentlemen
who are unable to find anything of merit in
their own country, has been that American
playrights have been unable to do more than
adapt from the productions of England and
France.
That in short the dramatists of this coun-
try are incapable Of producing distinctively
original play. The fact is that until re-
Gently no effect has been made to take the
fruitful material to be found on the rich soil
Of American life and habits and mould them
into play, and until recently the conditions
of life had not crystalized' into the
society stratus from which the ma
terial of plays are to be found.
A page might be written and with profit, on
this subject, but the simple reference is only
made to recall BARLEY CampbelPs play OF
''My Partner" produced in st. Paul last
week. The drama is one Of the few produc-
tons of American playrights that haye the
distinct merit Of originality, and it gives
faithful portraiture of the phases of life it
represents.
In no American play have the elements OF
pathos and humor been more nicely blended,
and in no play have we been given cleaner,
clear cut pictures of certain easily recog-
nized and well known types of character. To
have play like this may be considered
marked progress; sit is the chrysalis OF that
dramatic fervor which will shortly bloom in
to the full flower Of histrlonic excellence; 1t
is the nugget of gold before it undergoes the
mining process, and it will keep steady pace
with the development of society until the
latter is ready for the perfect play.
The only other attraction at the Grand was
the amusing burlesque early in the Morn
ing" by the Big Four company. The aim
of the thing is to make people laugh and af-
ford pleasant evenings entertainment, and
it fulils its mission. The company played
to fair business.
