A Fast Ride.

II suppose you have some fast rides
occasionally?" inquired the reporter.
.'Well, 1 should say we did. One in
particular, short time ago, is fresh
in my mind. We waited some time
for a party of officials, and then re-
ceived an order to make it up. I had
old George Van Camp as the boys
call him, with 1922 and told him to
let her out. Now, George is always
willing for chance to run, and you
bet he bumped himself. We went
through two stations at once, and
dust-why, the little children who were
sitting in the same seat with their
mother, were crying, for their ma
couldn't see them for dust. Every
thing went lovely until we dashed
around a curve, and directly ahead
were two big bulls on bridge. Did
the engineer stop? Well, 1 should re-
mark he didn't! He just reached down
in his box for piece of waste to wipe
the blood off the window, and had to
use it too. The fireman picked pieces
of sirloln out of the machinery of that
engine two weeks afterward. That
was the time we painted her red, sure!
The only damage done was the loss of
the engineers pipe, and we had to run
little slow afterward. OneIlady with
sealskin sacque viewed the remains
and innocently inquired if they were
the only cows the poor man had?' We
told her we guessed they wouldn't af-
feet the price of milk in that locality
anyhow. "-Denrer Republic IN.

Poor Relations.

1t is often wondered what women who
dress great deal do with their resplen-
dent robes when they have exhibited
them few times. What becomes of
dresses that have figured at Newport
and Saratoga for season? Do they
fall prey to Mrs. Levy, or do they
hang up in closet, or are they ''given
away" to poor relations in the country
who think Maria might be more care
full of her clothes as long as she meant
the girls to have them! Surly any
posessor of an elaborate wardrobe
must weed out to make place for the
fresher triumphs of her drcssmaker.
1t is only boarding spirit that saves
ephemeral fashions and does not con-
Ter them on persons able to make good
In some instances rich women in
society have an economical strain in
their blood. Economy under certain
conditions is an admirable virtue, but
the woman who can afford to dress
handsomely can afford to Danish dress
es that have once played a part in the
social drama. A Philadelphia lady
noted for the variety of her wardrobe,
solves the question by sending all her
last seasons dresses to the children of
limited means belonging to Sunday
School in which she takes an interest.
There are very, very few wealthy FAM
lilies in the world who are not afflicted
with "poor relations" therefore no
one need organize Sunday School
just Tor the satisfaction of disposing of
M. Worth's creations after they have
been worn once or twice.

A blind beggar, who died recently
at Pittsburgh, left $4,000 in the Dollar
Savings bank, of that city. He had
been heard to say that he had daugh-
ter living at Montevidio, Cal, and the
bank officials will make an effort to
find her, as no one else has any claim
to the money.

must have cost billions to build it, and
resting in the dry atmosphere of the
desert one would think that here at
least would be morsel too hard and
dry for the tooth of time. But the
wind and the weather have eaten even
into the pyramids, and their beauty
and splendor show the effect of decay.
The Washington monument in the

higher than the spires of the Cologne
cathedral, and so tall that the Sphinx
could pc put on the top of st. Paul

below it. 1t will attract travellers from
far and near. I do not agree with
those who say it is nothing but great
chimney. 1t is a work of massive,
symmetrical, and wonderful immen-
sity; and no man can view it without
being filed with great thoughts of man
and nature in their infinite possibili-
ties. To see it best you must approach
it with the sun at your back. Other

The crofters, who will not be i'm

that the clans whose devotion made
these Campbells and Douglasses, and
Gordons mobiles, and gave them the
use of land which they have now seized
as their own have as much ri ght to live
near the graves of their fathers as have
the dukes and marquises and earls,
have no standing now in law. Relief
has been promised to them by Mr..
Gladstone. but so it has been to Cor
don, and he will die before it reaches
him, if he is not dead now. But at the
next general election more than one
member chosen distinctly upon the
issue of crofters' rights will come down
to the commons from the Highlands to
make common cause with the home
rulers of Ireland against land monop-
olies. AS it is only by agitation, per-
sistent and ugly, that any cause gets
any hearing or favor in the house of
commons, the success of the crofters
will be measured by the amount of
trouble their representatives can make
for the government.

The Winnebago Reservation Order.
Attorney General Garlands opinion on the
Winnebago reservation has been made pub
lie After reciting that CLARK Thompson,
under an act Of congress Of Feb. q, 1883,
and by direction of the Indian commissioner,
removed the Winnebagoes from Minnesota to
what is now known as the Winnebago reser-
walton, and also under an act of March 3,
1858. he removed the members of the Sisse-
ton, Medawakatton, Wahpeton and Wahpakop-
IA Sioux to what is known as the Grow Creek
agency, and the further fact that the Winneba-
goes, on March 8, 1865, deded their land to the
United States and went to Nebraska, and in
1866 the various bands of Sioux on
the Grow Creek reservation were removed
to Nebraska, and wandering bands
of Sioux went upon and occupied the abandon
ed lands, the opinion is stated that these lands
are found not to be reservations in a strict L.
gal sense, but understood to have been such
generally and by the government itself, there
fore the grant must be held to refer to such
lands as were reputed to be reservations.
