BEAUrIFUL BUT PERILoUs.
Thc Moral Malaria OF the National
Capital

rhc Moral Malaria OF the National
Capital.
Washington is one of the most beauti-
ful cities in the world, says Falcon" in
the Louisville Times, and in the winter
time at least its climate is peculiarly de
lightful The sky above it is fresh blue
concave. looking as if it were waiting to
be cut up into spring violets: the sun
shines with warm golden iustre, bring
ing heat and beauty like healing on its
wings; the air is as pure and transparent
and eNilarating as if it had been just
waited from the balsamic pines upon a
high mountain side; there IS no smoke
or dirt or dust-no SCOT in the atmosphere
and it is almost impossible to soil col
lars or cuffs or shirt-fronts by wearing
them Trade and manufacturers are not
there to give the sky its black coating
from the grimy smoke Of furnaces and
rolling mills. Ali is serene, nice and
beautifully uutarnished. But it is easy
enough to soil the soul there The ma
larial atmosphere may be ever so clean,
yet viii the most spotless spirit have
need to be very cautious else its whiteness
shall be smirched There is an entangi-
bic miasma about the place, a moral ma
laria. which benumbs the better senti-
sneuts and throws the soul itself into I'M
easy but profound sleep. People breathe
the thin air which barely ripples the blue
Potomac in its coming, and they grow
intoxicated as if with champagne; they
become frivolous, and day by day the
moral sentiments are weakened until no
great temptation can be resisted, Then
they fall, and il they are found cut there
is a scandal. 1t is a place where one
who searches for temptations need not
so far to find them, 1t is the one spot
Of all the world, where the petition
Lead us not into temptation" IS most
needed.

''Does the condition of Gen. Grant
have any effect on the sporting fraterni-
ty about town? p was asked of Al Mann
in one of the gambling places on Clark
street yesterday. He said it did. ''Gam-
blers," he said, "are always superstitious
anyway. The other night while a game
was going on some body came in and
said there was report that Grant was
dead. You ought to have seen soma Of
them at the table drop their chips, shove
back their chairs, and refuse to bet an
other dollar until they knew whether
there was any truth in the report. /
don't suppose you would believe it, but
there are some of the boys who wouldn't
play the bank during Passion Week, and
[ know q few Of these who DIDN'T play
during Lent. believe if we should get
the news here some night that Grant
was dsad the door wouldn't be big enough
for some of them to get out at.
''Did you ever hear of Jew Nose, a
gambler, who died at the Walton House
some years ago?" asked another sport
who had heard AIS remark. 'His weak
ness was horse-racing. and 1 don't sup
pose there are many race courses in this
country that don't know Nose. Talk about
gamblers being superstitious-he took
the cake. [ remember when Lincoln
was shot. Jew Nose wasn't a kid even
then. He was down South at a horse
race when the news came. He had just
won $500 on a favorite when the news
was told He took that winning and
made a present Of it to a Sister of Chari-
ty school in the city. They didn't know
where it came from or from whom, but
he used to say afterward, when talking
about it, that he would have been stricG-
Ell blind if he had kept the money he had
won on the day when such thing was
done"

At social gathering in Austin they

WRONGS RIGIITED UP.

We, the citizens Of the United States,
earnestly petition Congress to put each
soldier who received mn honor able dis
charge from the Union Army, on the re-
tired list with half pay, eight dollars per
month, and also give him land warrant
and warrantee deed, of hundred and
sixty acres of government land, free from
all encunibrances.
Let petitions be cent TO r. B. Brown,
Department Commander G. A. R., Zanes-
vile, Ohio, who will forward them to
Congress at the proper time. Some peli-
tions have already been sent to him.
There are no valid objections to this
petition, but the strongest reasons In Its
favor. The petitioners only ask for the
part payment of debt due to the army
for, more than twenty years. The govern
ment promised those who enlisted thirteen
TO sixteen dollars per month in gold or ils
equivalent, but paid them in currency de-
preciated more than one half in value :
and also one hundred and sixty acres of
land as a bounty, and then 80 encountered
the bounty act that but very few could re-
ceive it. But there are additional REASONS
to induce the government to pay this debt.
In n government like ours we need 10 fos-
ter the spirit Of patriotism. Can this be
done if we cheat n patriotic army that
suffered the horrors OF war unparuled in
the history of the world? We cannot af-
ford to turn of patriots in this way. Let
the children and youth as well as all 9th
ers know that the debt due to the Union
Army have been more than half paid and
that the men who fight our battles for us
will he he'd in everlasting remembrance,
1t is said that Congress will not listen
10 our prayer. That remnins to be seen.
Both houses did pass an act to benefit the
soldiers which WAS vetoed by President
Grant. Afterwards bill was introduced
to pension the Mexican soldiers. The
patriotic members of Congress moved an
amendment to include the Union Army
and members from the South moved thai
the bill he 80 amended as to include the
Confederate soldiers. Of course bill to
pay traitors and patriots like could not
pass. Then petition of five hundred
names by the G. A. r. was treated as nm
outrage on the government and trodden
under fsot. Now lot petition of Ameri-
can citizens, irrespectiveiof party, go before
Congress and see il that august body will
dare to scout the will of the people. In
the progress of events men some time learn
something. This country will be govern
ed by patriots. Great Britain accidentally
kindled the sparks of patriotism in TO-
In '6l South Carolina act the fires of
patriotism ablaze on every alter between
the two great oceans and unforeseen pa.
trlots came focking to the front from every
nook and corner of the Republic. Trea-
son will not be tolerated for any very great
length OF time here on American soil.
Let traitors come up to Congress from any
part OF the Union and utter words of trea
son on the floors of houses consecrated to
freedom and the fires of patriotism will
sooner or later consume them. 40.

SILK Culturs.

Much has bccn said and more Ia being
done each year In silk industry in tho
United States. II is very ensy work, but
very interesting and profitable. Ladies
and children can enter Into the business
with little capital, and make more at that
than anything know Of, with 40 little
money Invested. Any woman, boy or girl
who can work nj light work can raise silk
worms who have oange orange, or mul
berry lcnves to feed, and can construct any
and all fixtures for raising, and the care
oil them. Remember II ia not an all sum
mor's work, but all 10 done within six
weeks from the time you put them 10
hatch.
The 6rst three weeks you have compnra-
lively little to do with them, but within
that time you can be getting your trays
and racks In readiness. The last three
weeks you will find you have 10 be busy in
order to make a fine crop.
Now to give you our experience: Ny
Two little boys invested in one dolar'e
worth eggs OF each, (thst being 5000
a.piece.) They put them to hatch and gave
them the care given in the instructions, and
In just four days from the day we spread
them out the little worms began TO appear
in large numbers; and in just three weeks
from that time we saw our frat cocoon,
and in six weeks all had spun themselves
up IN their cocoons. Then came the
steaming of the cocoons for sale, winch
was done all inside OF six weeks. Now
what can woman or child do with so
little outlay as this and be 30 remuner-
alive, for we calculate we have S75 worth
oil eggs and S18 worth OF cocoons, besides
the pierced cocoons that the moths come
ont OF to lay their eggs. Now in Offering
eggs for sale we will give all necessary in.
sirnctiona Tor the raising and care of them.
We had no trouble In getting along with
them. You have to feed plentifulIy and
your cocoons are enough nicer to pay for it,
Our room was not large enough to nc.
commdonte more-it was only small bed
room-bnt if you have room 16x16 II, or
perhaps less would do, you could accom-
odate and feed 10000 worms as well as
ten, il you have the feed.
Now is the time to begin for fall hatch
| ing, If you have fresh ossge hedge
After the summer clipping the hedge starts
out new growth of leaves, and that il
necessary Tor the growth OF the young
worm. We fed osage altogether and Sc
| cured fine crop. will answer all cues
tions rs far ns am able, to those wishing
information by sending an enclosed stamp
to prepay postage. The time is near at
hand when silk industry is going to be as
common as poultry raising as business
and 1t is done with 30 very little expense.
A few pieces of board and bundle Of
laths, and few small nails is the most OF
the material used in your outfit, and you
are ready to begin operations.
