Those Troublesome Children.

is no denying it. Those who love
them best and are most patient with
them admit the fact. When one is
a little late in the morning, how
vexatious to be stopped; amid hur-
ried preparations, to fasten katie's
gown and straighten Robbie's col
lar, to button Susie's shoe or tend
the waking babe.
When duty calls you forth, how
trying to depart wieh Katie's en-
treaties sounding in your ears and
conviction in your mind that Rob's
incipient mood will cutminate in
dire mischief before you return, and
then the fear that baby Will miss
you sadly; yes, the children are GER
tainly troublesome.
When father, while busily wri
ting, is interrupted by Susie, who
claims his admiration for her new
doll, and by Robbie, who wants
a quarter to see the show; and when
these are dismissed, by startling
scream from baby, who has had a
fall, as he reseats himself do you
wonder that he murmurs: those
troublesome children
But who can measure the blessed
ness of children The very lsbors
we deprecate are fraught with eleva-
ting and enrolling influences. 1t
is impossible to repress a strong de-
sire for self Improvement when the
tender mind reaches out to you for
knowledge, Impossible not to yearn

Negroes and Negro Nfinstrels.

The London Saturday Review, quot
ing the language of Bully Bottom, who
calls Justify for "the tongs and the
bones," proceeds to say that the love
of negro minstrelsy is confined to the
English-speaking tribes and nations
to Great Britain and the United States.
In France and Germany, it seems, the
people have the good sense and the
good taste to refuse to enjoy such en-
tertainments as the so-called "negro
minstrels" are in the habit of putting
on the stage. In Germany they toler-
ate in this line nothing less than the
real negro, and even he, to win ap-
proval, must prove that he has been an
apprentice to the experience of planta-
ton life. In this matter the Germans
are wise. They have tact and instinct
on their side. We are compelled to
admit that the United States are the
headquarters for negro minstrelsy.
Here the great fraud was invented, and
here the people bow down in ecstatic
alteration before it. The mystery of
the whole business is that it is as popu-
lar in the Soulh. where its true char
acter is known, as it is in the North,
where much has to be taken for granted.
Whoever heard of band of genuine
plantation negroes playing on the
bones, the tamborine, and the banjo,
or singing such songs as Killarney"
and '.Baby's Sleeping Now, " or repeat
ing stale jokes and conundrums out OF
the medical almanacs3 Perhaps it is
the heartrending absurdity of the whole
business that gives it zest. Who can
say? Perhaps it is best to collate the
mystery into conundrum and ex-
press it thus: "Oh, Mr.. Hawkins! Can
you-can you tell us s-can you tell Us
why the niggero minstrel shows-why
the niggero minstrel shows are SO pop
ular in this our native landpn We

"A Long Pneumatic Tube.

A company is getting ready to build
a pneumatic tube for carrying letters
and small packages from Chicago to
New York. The idea at first seems i'm
practicable, but on examination it turns
out to be feasible. Two tubes are to be
made of brass, which will run side by
side, although it i said ono tube will
be tried first. A powerful engine with
an exhaust wheel is to be stationed at
one end. 1t is said that if the tube is
properly made and planted no air will
escape. The right of way it is believed
can be secured for nothing, or at a NOM
inal expense, and the main cost will
be the tubes, the engines and stations.
A letter, sample of grain, or package
of any kind which is to be sent, is en-
closed in a leather ball. A ball pre-
sents the least friction as a rolling OBJ
ject, and the leather is to be stiff and
heavy. A continuous current of air is
passing through the tube constantly.
With one pipe the plan is to reverse
the engine every hour-the first hour
forcing the air into it at Chicago and
sending packages to New York, the
next hour exhausting the air at Chica-
60 and drawing the packages as quick
~ back. The men who have it in
charge do not say how long it will take
to send package this way, but claim
to be able to do it in less than q min
ute. Stations will be established ut
the important cities on the route. 1t is
expected to pay large profit, and to
do the business of the telegraph COM
panies, express companies and the
mail. They say the scheme of sending
crude petroleum by pipe for long dis
tanoes, as is now done, was laughed at
at first, and that this one is more prac-
ticable, if possible, and not nearly so
costly, as the pipes are to be small and
can 60 around curves and over hills as

The republicans who are now balancing
between hope and fear may rest assured
that at least this section of country will re-
main true to her colors so long as no is
sues are adopted by the democracy, as in
the past. Because mob of political
scavengers enter a national republican
convention with the intention Of control
ling the same and fail to secure their pet
selection, is no reason that the masses
should desert the party that has placed
the United States on financial footing
equal if not superior to any other. Should
Cleveland be declared president Of the
United States his term will be stormy
one. With fve-sevenths of the democra-
cy coming from the old rebel states there
is little reason to believe their demands
will be unheeded, and already the eX-sec-
retary Of the the rebel confederacy is be-
ing pushed forward for postmaster gener-
al under Cleveland And while the de-
moeracy of the north are justly happy
over the supposed success of their candi-
date, the south is decidedly wild. Throw

The Origin of the Turnpike.

An genealogical crank has discover
ed that the name of turnpike comes
from having a pike hung across road
way so that no one could pass without
turning it. Toll-roads were instituted
about 500 years ago, the first one being
built in England by monk whose self
appointed work was to guard the shrine
of St. Anthony, on Highgate Hill. Not
having much to do he carted dirt from
the top of the hill and filled up deep
hollow. In doing this he expended all
his fortune, but the King came to the
rescue, and published decree address,
ed to our well-beloved William Philip
pi, in which, after approving the mo-
tiyes which induced him, to benefit our
people passing through the highway
between Highgate and Smithfeld, in
many places notoriously miry and deep,
he authorized him to set up bar and
take toll, SO that he might keep the
road in order and himself in comfort
and dignity.

Literature of the Face.

Observe how, when the shrewd
palmist is reading the lines of hand,
he scans the face with almost equal in
terest. These learned people know
how soul dwells in the eye; and the
ability to understand its language is
Unborn with most folks without having
to study it, though extremely sensitive
persons have told me that more power
of discrimination rested in their hands
than they could read from every feature
of the face, the fingers being so full of
vision that they could feel color with
out seeing it; so full of nerves that an
impression was instantaneous and
could be relied upon; so full Of life
that when their possessor was in love
they tingled with an affectionate intox-
ication.
1t is said that very quiet eyes that
impress and embarrass one with their
repose signify self-command, and also
much complacency and some conceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote deceitful,
designing mind. Eyes in which the
white has a yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins, prove
much of strong passion and hasty tenn
per. Very blue eyes bespeak mind
dignity, intelligence and excellent
reasoning faculties; greenish eyes,
falsehood and q fondness for scandal.
A malicious mind is often indicated by
greenish eyes. Black eyes show pas
sionate, lively temperament, and often
times a most deceitful disposition;
brown eyes are generally tender and
true, indicating kind and happy dis
position.
OF the nose. A Roman nose denotes
an cnterprising, business-like charac-
ter; Ion nose is sign OF good sense;
perfectly straight nose indicates a
pure and noble soul, unless the eye
contradicts it; q nez retrOuSse signifies q
spirit of mischief, wit and dash; a large
nose generally indicates large mind and
good nature, but lack of energy.
Thick lips generally mean either great
genius or great stupidity; very thin
lips, cruelty, avariciousness, and if the
lips are habitually compressed, false
hood. Dimples on the cheek are
known as the abodes of roguery, and
in the chin of Cupid and his pranks.
A lean face speaks moro of intelli-
gence than fat face, generally speak
ing, and they do say, beware of a full,
round and greasy FACET means
treachery.
Feasibility is accompanied by an
erect posture, open nostrils, moist tenn
pies, displaying superficial veins which
stand out and throb under the least
excitement, large, unequal, ill-arrnged
eyes, and equal use of both hands.
A genius may be expected from me-
dunn stature, blue-gray or brown eyes,
prominent and large forehead, with
temples a little hollow; under lip slight
ly retiring, fixed, attentive look, and
habitual inclination of the head either
backward or forward.--Forney's Pro-
