Moses A. MCCo1D, ESQ, Dear
Sir--Feelirg a deep interest in
your political welfare, and being
extremely anxious to give you a
political lift, would you oblige me
by answering the following ques
tions:
l. Were you engaged in fight
ing the bloody rebels during the
last WARP
,. Did you do any fighting in the
state of Tennessee?
3. Were you ever in the town of
Pulaski, Tenn, and did you take
from the Office of ex-Gov. Brown,
there or elsewhere, his law library
or any portion thereof, and appro-
pirate the same 10 your own use?
Now, Moses, rumOr says that you
did do that very thing. l dislike
to think you did, for that would be
disappointing that which did
not belong to you. Please come
out and let the voters know if there
is any truth in such a report.
Was your law partner with you

When business becomes so alb
sorbing as to result in insomania it
is time to stop business, or business
may stop you. No sleep, no brain;
no sleep no vigor. Sleep means a
filling up of body with new strength.
Sleep is as much food as bread.
There is a time to stop turning a
subject over and over again until it
gains complete possession of you,
and you may turn and toss and
can't lie still out of very WEAKNESS.
That is one of the lnitiatory steps to
mad house. Sleep is money.
Sound nights rest will. give you a
clearer head for scheming, planning
and getting the best of your fellow
man.

LITERARY NOTES,

"a Glass of Beer is the subject
of the third in that series of ar
ticles on great American industries
that Harper's Magazine is now
printing, which is announced for
the October number. The facts of
the industry revealed. are very re,
markable. 1t stands sixth among
all industries in the United States
in the amount of capital used, ex-
ceeded only by metals, cottons,
woolens and worsted, lumber and
grist; and its growth is shown by
that, ..whereas in 1880 the produc-
ton of the United States was some
thing over thirteen million barrels,
IN 1885 it was over eighteen mil
lions. The United States stands
third in the list of beer producing
countries, Great Britain at the last
general estimateibrewing 100000
900 gallons, Germany 900,0O0,00O,
the United States 600, 100000. The
census reported 219l breweries, en-
ployingI &c, 220 people, who earned
$465.2l yearly-an average higher
than in almost any other industry.
The article in Harper's promises a
complete description of the process
ses Of beer making, from the rails
ing of the hops to the barreling and
bottling, and those interested in
malt liquors will be interested in
the many varieties of beer mention
ed, from the ordinary "bitter' of
England and "lager" of Germany
and America to the frozen beer of
Tasmania and the condensed beer
manufactured in Switzerland for ex-
port. The writer points out that
the words sale" and "beer" are
used indiscrimi nately in England,
but that American brews confiDe
the word beer to lager, the product
of what IS known as the under fer
mentation process, and ale to the
product of the upper fermentation
process, which are carried ION with
different kinds of yeast and different
temperatures. The article will be
fully illustrated.

Fashion for Hair Dressing for 1885

Fashion for Hair Dressfag for 1885.
 Agreed on by the Hair Dealers Association.]
 The spring and summer fashions for ladies' hair dressing will not change materially from the styles which have prevailed during the winter; the hair continues to be worn high, the bow knot on the crown of the head with few waves and short eurls tapering toward the neck, being almost universal for ordinary wear. The front hair is worn very fluffy in Pompadour shape, a perfect nest of short waves and ring curls; many ladies use 8 small Pompadour roll to heighten the front hair, and pin their front cultures. These styles are worn by young ladies also, but there are many ladies, particularly those whose hair is turning gray, who do not think these curls are dignifed, and who prefer to wear the hair parted in the center and waved in large waves st tho sides, Madonna style. o
 The straight bang is still worn by a few. but since the little cash girls in fancy stores have adopted this style this fashion is on the wane. Fashionable hairdressers' stores are filled with different styles of ornamental hair goods, all intended to save the ladies the trouble of arranging their own hair Never was additional hair so much worn as at pres ent, although it does not appear so as it is not fashionable to wear bulky chignons. But the front cultures, which often cover almost all the head, so artistically made that no one would suppose that the7 merely con veniepces, removable at will A fashionable lady can thus appear as blonde or a bru- nette, or with golden auburn locks, as it may please her fancy, as many do.
 Shell pins, plain, are used altogether for arranging the loops of hair. Fancy shell pins, silver and Rhine stone ornaments in endless variety are worn in the back hair For evening wear puffs of flowers and feath- CTS. For young ladies, knots of flowing rib

Utilizing a Rainy Day.

From tEe Lakewood Times and Journal One of the most eccentric characters in his day, in this community, was Gordon Clayton of Greenville. He was fond of hunting and fishing, knew where the snapping turtles were most abundant and where the largest fish lived@ Trapping @ favorite calling with Gordon, and many fine furs came into his grasp. Many years ago there came dull, drizzly day, unfit for working or hunting. Gordon, always eccentric, determined that this dull and drizzly day might be useful if properly employed In word, he decided that it was good day for man to employ getting married. He accordingly dressed himself in his best, procured a span of horses and driver, and started for the home of the young woman he loved. Arrived there, he entered, and, with barely an intro ductory word, said to her. 'sIt's a good day for wedding; let's go and get married" The proposal was so unique and so sudden that the young woman was taken completely by surprise; but she soon found time to say that she had not expected anything of this kind-at any rate, not so soon-and that she was not prepared for wedding She begged for little delay-only 8 few days-in which to get ready for the nuptials But Gordon was on matrimony bent, and, standing un- moved by the appeal for delay in the middle of the floor, he jerked out, in his peculiar manner, the three words: ssNow or neyer1n
 The young woman hesitated & moment only, when, being as fertile of resource and nimbie to act as the young hunter in pursuit of game, replied: ssWell, be it so.h Tn a IeW minutes shs was ready. An hour later happily together until death put them asun- der.

 There are but two regular savings banks in Chicago, and the deposits in such banks in the whole State of Illinois only reach a million dollars. This is partly due to the fact that western people on small incomes don't save as the same class in the East does, and partly to the large number of savings bank failures after the big Chicago fire of 1871. Depositors lost heavily through those failures.

THAT
  BOOK SALE Has Surprised Us.

We ought to know by this time that low enough prices will sell anything at any time, but we confess we did not think so many books could be sold at this time of year.
 We wish to say just word or two more about it. The thing will swing along now without advertising, because people have got to speaking about it. What we want to say is this: The booksellers have met our odUeac- tsSea braces on two or three books, as we expected they would. That is what the peo. pie want, isn't it? As yet, how ever, it doesn't amount to any, thing-not to one book in a hundred. So far the benefit of competition can only be got 5y buying here. By the way, we omitted to say in our last adv that the stock of books now put in is many times larger and more varied than we ever showed at Christmas tine-we think at least six times as larpe The sale continues this week.

While It may be considered the
proper thing to make oneself be-
lievo that nothing good can come out
OTa railroad corporation, yet justice
eompels the most prejudieed 10 oeca-
sIonally admit that there Is some
good sandwiehod In between all the
sins that a transportation company
Is charged with. The farming COM
munlty OF this part OF Washington
territory at least have every reason
TO feel friendly toward the manage
ment OF the Northern Pacific road
for the libeallty they have shown
IN giving the lowest freight rate on
wheat ever offered for the same dis
lance by any line Of railway, there
by providing a market that farmers
could not possibly get under any
other circumstances. The freight
rate from Spokane Falls to Duluth, a
distance Of almost two thousand
miles, Is only $500 per toni a tariff
nte that enables shippers to pay as
high prices as at any point in the
northwest, and Is a lower rate on
transportation than can be secured
to the Pacific seaboard (only about
ono-nith Of the disiance) over the o.
AN. This concession was made
TO enable the producer to put his
grain upon the market with at least
a little profit to himself. Not only
Is the railroad to be thanked for this
reduction Of tariff, but also for the
establishment Of agencies for the N.
p. elevator company along the line,
for. without reduction in freight
rates this company could not afford
10 put up buildings and go exten-
slvoly into wheat transactions. Con-
sldering the quality Of the wheat Of
fered and the price for the same
grade ranglng in Chicago, the eleva-
tor company Is now paying higher
prices than any one else eau afford to
pay and ship 10 the eastern market.
10 the N. P. rallroad alone Is due the
existence Of a ready market at this
place and neighbOrlug towns on the
line OF the road, for all the grain that
the country can produce.

An effort has been made in a neg
ligent kind OF a way to collect up
samples Of the eproducts OF this coun-
try to put on exhibition at the great
fair at New Orleans. OF course very
little progress has been made aud
the collection would be meagre II
some earnest work was not done.
II now looks as though a respectable
collection would be accumulated,
as an active man has become inter-
essed In the matter. This morning
Col. @. II. Morgan started out In his
buggy for the purpose OF making a
personal inspection Of the country
and securing all the samples he can
find. The farming community should
assist him all in their power, as 1t
will he OF great advantage to this
section to be well represented at
this exposition that will attract peo-
pie from all over the world. In this
connection would 1t not be well to
have the mineral resources Of this
section well represented? Between
the agricultural and mineral speci-
mems that could be picked up this
country could make a big showing
in riches, and hold out grand induce
ments to the immigrant and to the
capitalist.
