SEDGWicK STILL LEADS.

p. Hoffman, one of Sedgwick's fine wool
growers, received notice from the st. Louis
fair that the first premium for fine wool had
been awarded to him. This is the second
year that Mr.. Hoffman has secured the win
ming card, which speaks volumes for his
sheep. St. Louis is great wool center,
and the dealers secure from their many Gus
toners samples which are placed on exhi-
bition, and nothing but merit wins, and the
number of competitors are very large.

MYSTERIOUS MovEYEN1s.

Ii is difficult matter for this local to keep
run Of all the important movements being
made by the live spirits of this city for the
past few days, but We know that one dele
cation of solid business men left yesterday
morning in the direction of the lower Mis-
sissippi and the Gulf. that another squad
left in the direction Of ST. Louis last even
ing, and that still another in the direction
Of the lakes. With the latter outfit went
the brains of the EAGLE The future will
probably develope what it all means, but
for the present Kansas City will get rest
at this end of the line, whatever she may
get from the other.

Col. S. f. Jocelyn and Mr.. Geo. G. Math-
ews met with an accident b., the upsetting of
the vehicle in which they were riding, Fri
day evening, that might have been serious,
but fortunately was but trivial. They were rid
ing in an express wagon towards Mr.. Math-
ews' residence, and when near the Fl Scott
depot the horse became frightened and sud
denly turned about, upset,ing the vehicle
and splitting the occupants. The animal
next made q break for a run but was eau ht
before he had gone far. Neither of the gen.
| tlemen were much hurt, bat they were bad
ly scared and their wearing apparel was
somewhat unused.

The chasm between the Catholic congre-
CATION and the priest is be-
coming wider and wider, and
now it is broken on. in fresh place. 1t is
understood that the priest is striving to get
up another fair to collect funds to finish his
cellar, but the scheme received nothing but
great dashes of cold water from the congre-
cation. Interesting developments may be
looked for in a few days. When this matter
gets fairly under Roadway the New York
election, Prohibition, the hog cholera and
Bulgarian difficulty will be only side issues.

Expenditure and Income.

In household expenses the GROWING
horror is house-rent However we may
hide it from ourselves-wc do not from
our friends, though-thc great majority
of us are over-housed, or, rather, over
rented We all want to live in about the
same neighborhood, and We all want to
20 into about the same society. 1t would
be amusing, if it were not rather disas-
trous, to see what people calmly contem
plate spending on rent, apparently IN
aware that the size and position of one S
house affects ones expenses all along the
line, to say nothing Of rates and taxes.
If peoples means are limited, they must
cut their coat according to the cloth, GER
tainly, and also remember TO continue
the sartorial metaphor that, if the gar
ment is to have anything like wear in 1t,
it must not be scrimped in the turnings
in; and this is Just the difficulty with
most Of US. We make magnificent esti-
mates for the actual things required in
laily life, but we forget the etceteras,
With the inevitable result of cverturnlng
our apparently well balanced total. In
short, we scrimp our coat at the turnlngs
to allow more fashionable skirts or more
graceful sweep, and at the first strain
away goes the whole thing; and though
you may patch and darn and make 1t
wearable again, the JOY of it is gone for

Small CiyiIities.

Optional eivilities, such as saying to
ones inferior, "Do not stand without
your hat, +" to ones equal, DO not rise,
beg you" ''Do not come out in the rain
to put me in my carriage naturally
occur to the kind hearted, but they may
be cultivated. 1t used to be enumerated
among the uses of foreign travel, that a
man went away bear and came home
gentleman. 1t is not natural to the
Anglo-SaXon race to be over-polite. A
husband in France moves out an easy
chair for his wife, and sets foot-stool
for every lady. He hands her the morn
ing paper, he brings Il shawl if there is
danger of a draught, he kisses her hand
when he comes in, and tries to make him
self agreeable to her in the matter of
these optional civilitcs. 1t has the most
charming effect upon all domestic life,
and we find a curious allusion to the pc
likeness observed by French sons toward
their mothers and fathers in one of
Moliere's comedies, where prodigal son
observes to his father, who comes to de
nounce him, Pray, sir, take chair you
could scold me 50 much more at your ease
if you were seated.

Central ParL NeM YORK.

One Of the chief gIories Of New York
is its justly famed Central Park. A des-
cription Of it in type would fail ut lily
to depict it SO that the reader could com
pletely realize the picture. Its principal
beauty to me is Is happy though artifi-
cial adaptation to natures most simple
yet pleasing laws of lane SC lpe gardening
and thereby its delightful contrast to the
Mtiliciality of the great city that surgcs
up all around it, but whose deyouring
wave is stayed by the slight wave of YER
dure which enrichcs the wide domain It
is truly peoples park The rich ride
in 1t and drive fin it. The poor walk in
it, and stroll in it, and sit in it, and play
IN 1t, and lie down in it. BY tens Of thou
sands they are there on bright days.
Their little ones fairly revel in it. 1t il
a new life, renewed weekly, to the my
riad Of hewers Of wood and drawers Of
water. The squirrels, the sparrows, the
ducks, the swans delight in it. Even
those .Cynics, the newspaper men, take
great pleasure in it, Yea, verify And
when you stand on the lofty, rocky G lie "a
ton in the centre of the Park. whence
the vision sweeps the horizon, with the
great city's roofs and towers stretching
miles on miles in all directions, and the
sun going down to his rest casts golden
CLEANS over the wide sea Of dells and
hillocks, and trees and grass and rivulcts
and lakes at your feet glow Of gener-
GUS feeling ills the breast; a feeling Of
admiration and respect for the philan-
thropic men who presented this noble
gift to their fellow-men for all time and
Tor all men.

The Question.

A teacher in western county in Canada,
while making his first visit to his 'consti-
tucnts, came into conversation with an
eminent Vermont lady, who had taken up
her residence in the 'backwoods." " OF
course the school and former teacher came
in for criticism, and the old lady, in
speaking of his predecessor, asked, Il
"Wa'al, master, what do you think he
learned the scholarsl"

"Wa'al, he told EN- this ere arth was
round; what do you think of such stuff"
Unwilling to come under the category
cf the ignorant, the teacher evasively re-
marked,
1T does seem strange, but still there
are many men who teach these things"
"Wa'al," says she, IF the earth is
round, and goesround, what holds it up2'
ooh, these learned men say that it gSes
round the sun, and the sun holds it upaby
virtue of attraction"
The old lady lowered her specs, andlby
