The facts of the case are that Mr.. Hen
bricks declined 10 vacate the presidents
chair in the senate long enough 10 allow the
election Of a president pro tempore, because
he and the other democrats of that body
did not want republican to be second in
the order of presidential succession, and
that the democratic house failed to take up
and pass lloar'S senate bill. or any other
bill, to provide against just such lapse as
the present. And now the democratic party
is raging over the Outrage" which the ma
jority in the senate is about TO perpetrate,
Of electing republican To take the govern
ment in the event of the democratic presi-

the democrats provide against this contin-
gency before it was everlastingly too late?

How a Marriage Was Prevented.

A remarkable story of the triumph Of
fashion over love comes from France
A Lyons artist was engaged to be mar
ried to young lady, and the invita-
tons for the wedding had been sent
out, The bridegroom had hearty dis
like for the appendage to ladies' dress
commonly known as the hustle. In
speaking to his bride of her wedding
gown, he happened to mention his wish
that this addition should be dispensed
with. 20, nor responded the young
lady; Il must be married in such a
dress, or l will not be married at all. :"
And so the engagement ended. She
would not give up the dress she wanted.
and he would not marry her in it. 1t is
evident that they were very self-opin-
donated or else not very deeply in love
with one another.-N Y Ledger.

APRONS.


Garments for Mistress and Maid-How
They Are Made.
Very pretty aprons are made of a
square of linen scrim, a hem of about
two inches in width, and above that al
ternate places where the threads are
drawn out about fourth of an inch and
left plain for the same distance. Into
the open spaces the narrowest ribbon is
run in and out of every three or four
threads. The ribbons are of contrasting
colors, and the border thus formed is
unique. One apron made in this way
has rainbow colors in the border. An
other way is to hem the scrim both
ends; in one hem run pink satin rib
bon to full it on and to serve for strings.
Hemstitch the other hem and embroider
spray of pink flowers on one side.
Turn the other corner over on the right
side of the material and fasten with a
bow of pink and dark green ribbons.
These have a very dashy little look, and
are especially pretty for young ladies.
A very good apron for a maid is a
clothespin apron made of two pieces of
ticking the same size; these are fastened
together in band for the waist, the
lower corners are rounded; in the upper
piece of ticking make two round holes
large enough to admit the hands, bind
or stitch firmly around the edge. This
is convenient for hanging out or taking
in clothes, and the pins can be kept in
it and be always ready for use. A very
neat little apron can be made of the
plaided crash or glass towelng. Work
the alternate squares in two rows with
red crewel stars; this makes border,
and if wash crewel is used the apron is
very durable, and will retain its beauty
after being laundered. 49, DemoreSt's

that Washington was as gentlemanly as
he was great.
Toward the close of the Revolution
airy War an officer in the army had oc-
casion to transact some business with
General Washington, and repaired to
Philadelphia for that purpose. Before
leaving he received an invitation to dine
with the General, and, accepting, found
himself in company with many distin-
guished guests, among whom he pre-
served a modest demeanor, taking but
little part in the conversation. Before
the close of the dinner General Wash
ington, calling him by name, requested
him to drink a glass of wine with him.
"Wll you have the goodness to ex-
cuse me, General?" replied the officer.
al have made it rule never to drink
wine. "
All eyes were instantly upon the
young officer, with surprise and indig-
mayhap a few with approval.
That person should be so unsocial and
so mean as to never drink wine was too
bad; but that he should abstain from it
on an occasion Ike that, and when
offered to him by Washington himself,
was intolerable
Washington at once saw the feeling
of his guests, and promptly addressed
them: Gentlemen" said he, "our
friend is right; | do not wish any of my
guests to partake of any thing against
their inclinations; and 1 certainly do
not wish them to violate any established

The "Atlantic" Editor and the Bicycleo

Trowbridge is one of great many
professional men hereabouts who are
trying to renew their muscular tibres by
exercise on the modern wheel. Younger
and more active men prefer the greater
celebrity of the bicycle and enjoy the
flavor of danger that goes with the I'M
certain poise of two wheels. Some of
our clergymen. those of the more lib
eral persuasions, suffer no loss of dig
nifty in bestriding the spirited steed
whose only fault is an occasional kick-up
behind, and young lawyers and doctors
are thickly sprinkled among the riders
who may be met any pleasant day on
the sandpapered roads about Boston.
Mr.. Aldrich, the editor of the atlantic
Monthly, tells, with much gusto, of his
attempt to conquer the bicycle, and of
the amazing eccentricities that the beast
displayed at his attempted mounting.
The atlantic editor is a brave, though
modest. young man, and the father of
twins; but no man knows that he
ever made a second attempt on the BIZ
cycle. He is one of the few who have
given up beaten on the first trial-BoS-

TEMPERANCE READING,
THE CURSE OF RUM,
Who Can Tell 1t?

Could oceans, rivers, seas and lakes,
And all the names that water takes,
Beneath the expanded sky,
Be turned to ink of blacklist hue,
With every drop of morning dewr
With every shrub and every tree,
And every blade of grass we see
Made pens to write withal;
Were every man in every cline
A scribe to use those pens;
Were each Methuselah in age,
And every moment wrote a page
A book as large could we suppose
AS this whole earthly ball
All would be tired and die,
The pens would every one wear out
The book be writ within, without,
The ink be drained quite dry,
To write the curse of rum: o, then,
Angels would fail as well as men,
Archangels cen would fail
And till eternity should eId
A long eternity they'd spend,
Nor then have told the tale.

wealth Of the Butte District,

The statementin the report of the di-
rectors of the Union Pacific Railroad
that Butte and its dependent smelling
town of Anaconda furnished one-tenth
of the traffic receipts of the whole Union
Pacific system, is the best evidence vet
given of the wealth of this mining dis
trict. The report referred to reads as
follows: Remarkable as the statement
appears, it is yet true. that two stations
at its extreme northern end, Butte and
Anaconda, twenty eight miles distant
from each other. and about fourteen
hundred miles distantfrom Omaha. COL
lect and receive annually an amount of
earnings nearly equal to one tenth of
the entire Union Pacific system, so rich
is the surrounding country in mineral
wealth. Besides this, nearly the en-
tive country through which the
road runs is rich in live stock interests,
which are constantly assuming greater
magnitude and value. Interspersed in
this mountainous region are fertile val
leys, which are being gradually devoted
to agricultural and like purposes
The surplus earnings of this line for 1888
are reported to be $778, $50, or 81 ,274 per
mile. The interest charge on
the bonds of this line was 1888 ,010, leav-
ing net surplus of $500, 670.''
It must not be forgotten that the
Northern Pacific Railroad also draws a
large income from this point. This
traffic, entirely arises from the mines of
the Butte district, tract of country
four miles square, as there is no out
side territory tributary to the town.

The rapid growth of Salt Lake City, to
him seems marvel. Situated in a
valley bordered on either side by noun
tains covered with snow, yet it is one of
the happy revelations of time. The
future is yet to be told, but there must
be steady and healthy growth, as this

twelve years we expect to see greater
changes than in all the past.

Marshall Goss and detective Baum re-

bringing Alonzo Puget, one OF the most
widely known and skillful counterfeit
ers in the country. Fuget's record COW
ers pages of books in the government
secret service, and he has produced some
of the most deceptive currency
ever issued. He began operating in
New York sixteen years ago, and has
since turned out his spurious coin in
nearly every State in the Union. He
was the head of the notorious Crabtree
gang and was reported killed when
most of its members were captured in
1879. His work was afterwards recog-
nized by experts and many efforts were
made to discover his whereabouts, which
were only learned few days ago.
Puget was living in a lonely hut near
Versailles. The officers arrested him
last night as he was leaving home in a
buggy. Hundreds of tools IF the finest
pattern were captured and also dies of
Treasury notes that have given the
most trouble to banks. Puget had been
recently calling himself Fuzine. He is
aged Is and looks decreplt, Though he is
still active.
