Well, we had very pleasant time at
Tom Browns last night, and l could
see in the sparkle Of Mrs. Browns eyes
and the rosy tint of her cheeks, that she
appreciated it as veritable oasis in her
desert of life. believe, too, that Tom
experienced a new sensation, and if his
conscience has not become deadened
by its contact with coarse associations,
he went to bed last night with purer
sense of happiness than he had expert
enced for many day. Tom has a
pleasant family. His little codgers are
bright, smart and sharp as steel. His
wife is an active, industrious, we'll
meaning soul-6ut- that but means
great deal, sometimes, and it means
in this case an awful barrier that stands
in the way of Toms complete reform.
But, / declare, here comes Mrs. Brown
herself, and now what was going to
sav t2 myself. I'll say to her, which may
Good morning, Mrs. 5H5"' bfo"
look as happy as lark. Well, why
shouldn't you? You enjoy good health,
you have good home, and your little
family is worth its weight in diamonds.
You have all the ingredients, that, COM
bined properly, 60 to make up human
happiness.
But here's where the trouble comes in,
Mrs. Brown. We may have all the in
gradients, but we don't always put them
together in the right way. Now have
noticed that my wife once in while
makes loaf of poor bread, and the
fault is not always in the materials she
uses. The flour may be the very best,
the yeast pure, fresh and active, the fire
Just right, but something in the act of
combining these together goes wrong
and the result is failure.
Now, Mrs. Brown, with all the ele-
ments for making happy home at your
command, you have not always succeed
ed in making it, have your
No; those wrinkles of care on your
forehead are the record that cannot be
disputed nor denied. They tell of
troubles which should never have been
permitted to cloud your life.
And on whom rests the blame?
Tom has done wrong, and | have
tried to tell him so; but isn't it just
possible that he was crowded out of the
right path into the wrong?
Tom is not bad at heart, but his COM
panionable nature has led him astray.
He likes to be in jolly company where
he can throw dull care to the winds
and give himself up to jollity and mirth.
Now, Mrs. Brown, why has he been
obliged to leave home to get this en-
joymentl
Why have the tavern, the billiard
room and the saloon been more attrac-
tive to him than his own home?
1t is because you have allowed these
places to outbid you in home-like at
fractions.
Yes, 1 mean what I say, home like at
fractions. Yesterday as l passed saloon
I saw bill posted in the window read
ing something like this:

MOSES in the Wilderness

-MosEs in the Wilderness
The Sunday school lesson was
about Moses and the Israelites in
the wilderness, and the teacher was
asking questions of her scholars.
"What did Moses strike the rock
for?" she inquired. ''For water"
answered the class, promptly
"Were the people glade" eyes
ma'am." And was Moses blessed
for what he had done 2" sNo,
ma'am." "Why not ?" This was
a poser for some time, but finally a
tough looking small boy held up
his hand. "Well, Tommy, why
not? ?" asked the teacher encoura-
ginglv. "Cos, mum, he didn't
strike it for beer."- lex.

7rh. Thou shalt not seek at any
other house for the cheapest and

otb. Thy shalt not steal Hats

that Hugo went to his rest. After
that long, eventful career, having
waged war with kings, his heart
went out to the wretched OF all
lands. Looking across the sea
from his island Punishment, yearn
ing for the country which he loved,
he thought of those who were even
more luckless than exiles. And
when he came back he took his
place among them. 'Bury me iii

The President, in the use of the official
axe during the week, has been dealing in
surprises. The first was the official decap-
itation of James Connolly, u s. Attorney
for the Southern district of Illinois. Con
noly's term had some time yet to run, and
though he professed entire readiness to
yacate at any time, he had no idea of being
removed, at least before the end Of the iis
cal year, September Goth. 1t appears,
however, he was pretty deeply implicated,
by the report of inspector Bowman, in the
mal-administratio of Jake Wheeler, rs T..
s. Marshal of the same Judicial district
and the matter being brought to the atten-
ton of the President, he at once removed
him for cause, and appointed GustavuS
Won Hoorbeke, an able and wellknown at
torney of Carlyle, Clinton county, to sue
coed him.
Another surprise was the appointment
on Tuesday of Fred III. Marsh, Sheriff of
Ogle county, to the position of L. 5 Mar

were half a dozen Of Chicago applicants

Marsh The latter is admitted to be man
abundantly qualified for the place, an eX-
soldier with splendid record, and so pop
ular at home that though an ardent Dem
ocrat he was two years ago elected Sheriff
of the strong Republican county of Ogls
by a handsome majority.
All around, the official axe has been I'M
usually active during the week, heads of
Republican officials falling pretty lively in
all directions, so that the terrified Repub-
lican officials are beginning to say of
Cleveland, as Henry Clay said of John
Tyler, when he began to swing his axe
over the Wing officials in 1871, "D-n it,
how he hicks 'em!"

The Canad ian-1ndian War,

Putting the finishing stroke to the Can.
adian rebellion, by capturing Big Bear
and dispensing his followers, has proved q
bigger job than Gen. Middleton appears
TO have anticipated. While he was organ
izing parties to pursue and surround him
north of Fort Pitt, Capt. Steele, with a
force of 70 mounted men, on the Sd, sud
denly came upon the willy chief at Two
Lakes, so miles south of Fort Pitt. He
seemed to have force of $50 to 800 armed
warriors, whom, by taking them unexpect-
edly in the rear, Capt. Steele succeeded in
driving "across the creek" and then send
ing flag of truce, Big Bear came out In
person, and being asked to negotiate In re-
gard to the prisoners In his possession, re-
fused to parley, saying, 1--WE intend to
clean you out yet" Steele reported to
Middleton, who at last accounts had tracked
Big Bear to point AS miles northeast of
Fort Pitt, being within 10 miles of him
with large force. Meantime, about 40 of
the prisoners whom Big Bear had held
succeeded in making their escape after
the encounter with Steele, and have ar
rived at Fort Pitt. Most of them were
women and children, and all agree that
they we're well treated by Big Bear.

weeks may, and it is confidently believed
will see the end in the complete triumph

The Salt Lake Tribune (Gentile) brings
against the Mormon system this terrible
Indictment:
There never yet has been a Mormon
scholar in the sense III which the term is
used in other countries; there has never
yet been u Mormon school worthy of the
name of school; there cannot be found in
any Northern or Western State any com
munity of one hundred ana fifty thousand
souls, like the Mormon community in Utah,
where there are no real scholars.
If the Salt Lake Tribune is wrong the
Saints ought to correct it by telling who
and where the educated Mormons are and
what they are doing and why the rest of
world never hears of them.
