To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Your suggestions, in a late number Of
THE HERALD, 1 think good and timely !;
there is really nothing more needed at
the present time, in this city, than
good swimming hole" for the young
people, and indeed for all. The expense
attending family in going to the Lake
once week at least is heavy burden,
more than most families is able to bear,
for luxury.
There Is nothing, IN my opinion, more
healthy and calculated to develop the
muscles of the young people, than a
good swim once or twice week, as well
as of cleanliness. The Jordan is, when
most needed, somewhat dangerous
stream for young boys to swim in, and
is almost too cold to be really healthful
and enjoyable; and besides it is too dis
tant and inconvenient on account of so
many families living along its banks.
II place could be made to receive the
water from the Warm Springs, say from
one to five acres, it would be just the
thing; the water would be suitable for

year-neither too warm nor too cold.
1t ought to be enclosed with a good
board fence, and probably divided into
two parts-one for the boys and one tor
the girls, if you please. Ground is
cheap in the Nineteenth Ward pasture !;
and five or more acres could be enclosed
with good solid earth bank, with gates
that could be readily opened in case of
neceSSitV The water in the Warm
Spring bathhouse is really too warm for
summer. or even spring aud fall. and
there is no room to have really good
time there. The expense of such a place
would be but trife for the city, and
would also save considerable means as
health resort for persons who have
neither the time nor means to visit the
Lake or other expensive watering
places.
Let US have swimming hole' for
the boys near by and convenient.

An Englishman's Impressions Concerning the
Typical New England Woman.

Cassell's Family Magazine
She has received certain amount Of instruc-
ton at public school, then marries young, and
begins her, to me- Herculean labors It is her
part to perform all the daily household tasks,
with but seldom any outside aid. She must
make butter, milk the COWS, feed the chickens,
and attend to the kitchen garden, as we'll as to
her special pet howerb beds and vines. Then she
harnesses her horse and drives TO neighboring
town to barter las no one else CAM with her but
ter, eggs and garden produce. If anything is
broken or out of order in the house or farm she
mendS 1t. and being woman of infinite re-
sources, she may even construct some of her own
furniture or paint her fence. Her 'parlor" is
adorned with all the latest absurdities in the
way of worsted-work or pressed bouquets,
while her store-closet is well stocked with
preserves, and her garrett hung with dried fruits.
1t is probable that she has children and none
are more thoughtfully tended in all their needs,
be they physical moral or mental The cloth
ing OF the family, even to their stockings and
mlttens, is her handiwork, while occasionally a
garment is made for one of the village poor.
But where is her self-culture? say you. All!
there Is the mystery; how and when is it accom-
plisheds And there is no denying the fact;
narrow provincial education it may be, but that
is owing solely to her circumscribed life.
Ii you were to enter a small, commonplace,
whlte-washed farm house in any of the strag
Cling New England villages which appears little
else than a cluster of huts in wilderness to
English eyes-if you were SO bold as to enter in,
anu SO fortunate as TO nave an uninterrupted
conversation with the mistress of the house, you
would find her plain, probably faded, woman,
clad in neat calico; sharp voiced and sharp
vlsaged perhaps, but gentle in manners,
and displaying as she talks a well-culti-
waited intelligence and more or less
familiarity with literature in all its branches of
history, philosophy, science, and belles-lettres
You would find her a member of the nearest
library and subscriber to all the leading period
lcals But in order to make this strictly truth
full account, [ must add that she seldom reads
the newspapers, and is utterly devoid of that
knowledge OF current affairs that distinguishes
particularly the women of New@York and Chica-
go. But then consider how precious to her is
each moment of time, and how far she is re-
moved from the centers of life and civilization!
Sne has no amusements, no diversions, no trips
away yet she is patient, and never resting from
her round of necessary duties, and that, to her,
no less necessary one of sef-culture. Some one
has beautifully said that ''the hand that rocks
the u, cradle is the hand that rocks the world"

Frank stockton,s Literary Standing

New 1ork commercial Advertiser.
Howells is usually playful, and frequently
witty; James more rarely so; but neither has
Stocktons humane humor, if we may so charac-
thetic tender and even affectionate quality in it,
The mistake which one is apt to make is that
of classifying this writer with humorsts He is
humorist certainly, and this humoris infinitely
inner and fresher than that of any mere laugh
monger of them all; but his humor all-pervasive
as 1t is, is in truth incidental His work is be-
fore all things literary. 1t would be literature
OF the most worthy sort if the humor were taken
wholly out of it. Mr. Gosse is clearly right in
classifying him with Howells and James, and
not with Mark Twain and his imitators He.

as if the dancing sunlight on the waves had

to exhibit Patti left but little for accessories.
The Duchess de was particularly noticeable

An Event in Queen victoria,s Life.

In the lately published Croker papers a pretty
picture is given of the scene in which Queen
Victoria announced to her eighty three coun-
cilors her intention of allying herself in mar
riage with Prince Albert. Her Majesty was
handed in by the Lord Chamberlain, and, bow
ing to us all around, sat down, saying: Your

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
"A Fair Weeks Trade, with Firm Prices in
Most Lines of Goods.


INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. IL.
The business of the week closing to-day was
in volume something Of an increase over that of
the week ending Jan. 10, yet there is large room
for improvement Still, merchants are hopeful,
as stocks in the country stores and the larger
towns are light The better movement of grain
is likely to improve trade with such stores, and
this, in turn, will directly benefit wholesale men
Another encouraging feature is that prices will
naturally advance with the increase in trade.
The Indianapolis Grocer says: sThe evidences of
an awakening to a more profitable season are
fast cropping out; the country is gaining; the
chance for manufacturing is widening, and a lit
tie can be made; mills which have long been idle
are hrlng up, and orders are becoming frequent
The whole country has better color, and the
contrast between the holiday uncertainties and
the present possibilities is so plain, that those
who run may read the fact There are some
features which do not bear pleasing aspect: at
Fall River there will be, on the 10Th. a
reduction in the wages of 49, 900 operatives of 10
per cent, and other textile communities and

dlton. Mining is not bearing fruits which prom
Use we'll for operator or workmen, and the set
ting down to hard-pan is apparently without
limit; yet is not by these that a whole country
should be judged, but by an averaging of trade

point of a general observer. Upon this do we
base our belief in gradual pull upward. and

serious set backs in the future" Dry goods men
report business fully up to their expectations
Collections have been fairly good, and failures
in which our market are interested have been
nconsequential since the beginning of the wear.
Values are fixed and quite firm for all STYLES of
cotton goods, with further hardening tenden-
cy. The new ginghams now open liven up
stocks by their superior colorings and the varied
assortments. Ginghams, seersuckers and other
woven wash fabrics are taking the place of
printed calicoes rapidly, and the trade in the
former class is growing with each season, and
the styles and cloth are being continually inn
proved until to day these cotton wash goods are

LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
The minnesota d pef.ulter Commit. Suicide.

Mention has been made OF the flight from
Saltwater, Mimi, OF Alderman E. W. Kerr
and OF his defalcations and frauds. The
amount which it is known that people had
suffered at the hands OF Kerr were: Third
National bank, St, Paul. So, 500; gas com
pany OF saltwater, 81, zoo; water company
OF Saltwater, 800; John Freeman's
a total OF $4,000. The $4,000 was
money OF the gas company which he had
collected from May, 1884, and misappro-
priated. He was in charge OF the gas COM
pany's books a year or so before that date,
and it is feared he had misappropriated
from $4,000 to $1,000 of the company's
money prior to May 1884. Kerr
went to Quebec and Detective Kehoe
OF Chicago was sent to shadow him
Kerr got scent that he was being
shadowed. Then he began to drink heavily.
kehoe and Kerr took the same train for
Halifax. After some conversation with
kehoe, Kerr seemed to become suspicious
and attempted to leave the train just as it
was starting, but the lynx eye OF the
detective followed MIN and they both
embarked on the rear end OF the car.
Kehoe, being sure OF his man, adj
dressed him famiiarly as Bob" The de-
ceased looked at him with astonishment
Then Detective kehoe asked him IL his
name was Kerr. Deceased answered, ''Yes
what do you mean? l don't understand
you" Then Kehoe said, CLARK, OF Still
water, will be here this evening, and you
may be able to fix matters with him by
restitution Detective Kehoe invited
deceased to take seat; in the sec
ond-cass car and talk the matter
over. Deceased said, Let us 60 into the
other car Kehoe led the way, and when
they reached the postal car gallery, Ke-
hoe still ahead, with his back turned to
Kerr, he heard the report OF pistol
shot He turned around and saw
Kerr was in a position as if aim
ing at Kim. The detective then rushed
out to inform Hurpe and said, HE
is shooting at me-" AS Kehoe was talk
ing to Hurpe, he heard second pistol shot.
kehoe and Hurpe turning, found kerrdead,
lying on his back with revolver underhim,
two chambers OF the revolver being empty.
The intention of Kerr was to first shoot
Kehoe aud then himself. The detective only
attributes his safety to the motion of the
cars, which were at the time turning a curve.
