Vanished Hopes.

Mr.. EDIToR-Now that 1884 has
closed and we are debarred from the
privilege leap year afforded us maidens,
permit me to say a few words in our
defence that may throw little light
on the befogged intellect of the male
portion. -
To see ourselves as ithers see u.s."
Firstly, Mr.. Editor, l feel assure of
your sympathy. You, happy in the
possession of home and wife, can af-
ford to lend a listening ear and perhaps
solve the knotty conundrum that iSpuz-
ling so many female minds and wrlnk-
ling so many white brOws.
Why DON'T the young men of our
town propose True, it has been leap
wear. but no nice, modest girl would
call upon her adored one and ask the
mOmentouS question. We have smiled
our sweetest. dressed our prettiest, kept
our temper on all occasions and even
refrained from making remark when
one of our gentlemen friends drove up
and down our streets in such tantaliz-
ing manner and having for his cOmpan-
ION strange young lady. Day after
dav we call at the stores, but what does
it amount to? Then in the early twi-
light we assemble and promenade Broad
way. 1t is true one of us may secure
the attention of number of clerks, or
a lawyer but what are few among so
MANY? There are a few couples in our
town who are now enjoying the billing
and cooling season, but what is to be-
come of us poor damsels who have no
brothers to exchange?
The poSt-Office is grand rendezvous,
but still greater is the establishment of
the initiated to see the manner in which
the Lutheran church services are pat
ronized by young ladies. Mr.. Editor,
what more can we do, or what have we
left undone? Will not the Abilene
girls make as good wives as those found
back East or in the Northwest?
Must we each send a list of our ac-
complishments and give recommends
tons as to our ability to bake, make
and so on, to keep our young men in
our own town? A dear old man told
me in confidence last week that he lived
in single misery until thirty years of
age, being his own seamstress and
washer-wOman, cook and chambermaid,
but one night when the world was sleep
ing, he, miles away from human being,
cramps suddenly seized him and crawl
ing as best he could to the fire to heat
some flannel to ease his pain, he vowed
if he lived till morning to get woman
in the house. In less than a week he
had a wife. Mr.. Editor, would it be
right for us girls to club together and
pray for cramps to overtake the young
men of Abilene.
An UNFORTUNATE.

Mr.. VIM. p. HiginbOtham. president
of the Blue Valley Bank and owner of
the Blue Valley Herd of ShOrt-HOrn
Cattle. Manhattan. was III town Tues
day. While here he gave the REFLEC-
TOR very pleasant call and chatted in
very genial. interestingEa He in
formed us that he wOuld4hake public
sale of sixty-head of Short-HOrn cattle
on April S. 1855. due notice of which
will appear in the REFLECTOR. Mr..
HiginbOtham has been twelve years in
building up his herd, and it now stands
y No. /. This is his third public sale,
and the enterprising stock men of this
county, who want thoroughbred Short
Horns, the best cattle in the world,
should attend it.
Mr.. ". S. Hodge has been reap
pointed Postmaster at Abilene. To
the grand old democrats who are will
ing to serve Uncle Sam in this capacity
this announcement need bring no fears.
We understand from good authority
that Mr. Hodges commission would
not have expired for several weeks to
come. but to intrench himself as strong
ly as possible, and acting on the advice
Of prominent man presumably John
\. Anderson lie resigned and was re-
appointed. his new commission not
naturally expiring until 1889. But we
are inclined to believe that this rather
transparent scheme to force the new
administration to continue him in office
will result disastrOusly to Mr.. Hodge.
Norris this action worthy OF Mr.. Hodge.
1t is a plain indication that he is will
ing to serve an Administration which
he was not at all backward in trying to
defeat. We had thought that Mr.
Hodge possessed more personal pride.
But perhaps he is working on the
hypothesis that if he is continued as
postmaster the country wont Ego to
h-F' as was predicted in case of dem
Ocratic success. Again, and finally,
we are of the decided opinion that Mr..
Hodges coup de aaitre will avail him
nothing. Mr.. Cleyeland's civil service
letter, if it means anything, means that
just such schemers as Mr.. Hodge has
proven himself to be will be the first to
go.

Mr., 4. ]. Hart and 0. B. Hart
brought in two loads of hogs on last
Wednesday. Mr.. Hart hauled his hogs
to Chapman from couple of miles
north of Abilene. Chapman markets
are better than Abilene-Star.
We are sorry to say that the figures
do not prove Bro. Swift's statement.
Looking at the figures published in the
REFLECTOR and Star, we are reluctant
ly led to believe that our young friend
Harry has more love for Chapman than
he has for sweet truth. The market
quotations which appeared in last
weeks REFLECTOR and Star show that
hogs were worth at Abilene from 3.65
to 3.75 per 100 pounds, and at Chapman
they were only worth from $40 to $50
FER 100 pounds. Quite a difference.
