cret societies under our principles, with our

has in all ages attracted the attention OF the
humane and the benevolent. But while any
great antiquity Of our order under its present
form mo Order claims Antiquity under its
present f ,rInl, cannot be Claimed, many of the
brethren trace it to Rome III the days OF the
Caesars and claim that two Greek words signi-
fying Friends 1raverting together are the
identical words Odd Fellow, or rather Ode Eel

cation in the Roman army tOunGed for the pur

and adycrsity. Again in a communication
made to the fraud Lo1ge of the lnited states,
in Ioj4, it was stated that the order was estab-

honest citizens against Nero's oppressive acts,

to the same communication the Title OF odd
Fellows was given to the order In the year A.

by a number of emblems, nearly all OF which
are worn by the officers of the present day.

will stop supplies unless the Bill for
the redistribution of seats be complet-
ed. ~
The Standard, commenting on the
situation, expresses an opinion that
Mr.. Gladstone would resume the Co.

should decline, but it believes hat
Earl Spencer and the Marquis of Har-

the question of the renewal of the
Coercion Act be dropped.
The Marquis of Salisbury. on NOV
ing anladjournment ofthe House until
Tuesday, said that he must refuse to
pass the Redistribution Bill without
further consideration, because if it
should be passed now it would pre-
vent an appeal TO the country before
November. This threat to appeal to
the present constituencies has alarm,
ed the Liberals.

DON'T.

''YoH are serious this evening, said
Mrs. Dandell to her husband. 'Ihope
nothing has gone wrong during the
dayP'
Mr.. Lapdell, who had been sitting
with his eyes upon the floor, silent
and distracted, for some minutes,
reused himself at these words. and,
looking up at his wife, smiled as he
answered: "Oh, no. Nothing has gone
wrong"
Don't yoS feel well?n The voice of
Mrs. Lande1 was shaded with con~

words, looking with earnest inquiry
into her husbands face. Then she
added, tenderly: Bring home your
trouble, dear. Don't hide anything.
Let me share with you all the good

nearer IN suffering than they do IN
joy
''Bless your kind heart, Ahce?' said
Mr.. Landell, broad smile sweeping
over his face, as ne caughG her round
cheeks in his hands and kissed her.
''There isn't anything so serious IN the
case as that comes TO. I'm not going
to fail in business-haven't lost any
hing worth speaking about; haven't
cheated anybody, and don't intend do
ing SO. It's only this hasty, inpulsive
temper O. mine that is all the while
leading me to do or say something
that leaves a sting"

Mrs. Landell.
You will overcome that IN time,

his face all day was my perpetual re-
buke, and felt 1t long after the sun
went down. My punishment was
greater than his. But the lesson of
yesterday did not suffice. This morn
ing l was again betrayed into cap
tious language that wounded the
same young man, and threw him so
much off his guard that he answered
nae back with some feeling. This
regarded as impertinent, and I threat
ened to dismiss him from my service
if he dared venture q repetition of the
language. When feeling subsidized,

THE BURIED MOTHER

From the Magazine of Artl
Out by the walls of Danish town
The graves stood cold as the night came
down.
The Angelus prayer had long been said,
And the bell t0lled out the psalm for the
dead.
It swung for while from the darkeaing
steeple,
''Out Of the Depths said the priest and
people.
Through all the close-set town and towers,
The doors were shut for the silent hours
But mother, buried for half year,
Woke with a cry in her ear.
She rose with the vague sleep still in her
And clad in the shroud that wraps the dead.
She left the cold grave under the walls,
And took the street to her husbands halls.
She felt her long dead-bosom ache,
For her seven children were all awake.
And none had broken their bread that night
Or poured them drink, or trimmed light.
And none had laid them pillow or sheet;
The dust of the day was on their feet
Two strove for an empty cup, and one
Was crying-thatwas her youngest son.
She washed and kissed them, aud h&shed
their cries;
While tears pressed out of her long-dead
eyes.
But their father, who lay on a lower floor,
Had heard her step in the corridor
And he rose and came, and saw her stand
With the children clinging to either hand.
She said, ''The cry smote my heart,
1t broke my dreams of death apart.
Il was 10th to leave these seven. died.
But when have l slept when the child has
cried?
Take note, ere pass to my many dead;
Your children woke and had no bread.
'No fire, no light; two were at strife;
One cried uncontrolled. Tell your wife,

Probably the most unpretentious
tourists hotel In existence is that at
the bottom of the Grand Canon of the
Colorado, accessible by stage from
Peach Spring Station. on the Atlan~
tic and Pacific railway. 1t consists
OF board shanty, of a single room
below, with kitchen attached, and
two bedrooms under the roof above.
The stage driver is road owner, guide,
landlord, and cook, all in one, but
makes guests comfortable The dis
tance from the station is only a few
miles, but the descent is 1900 feet.

The Sexes in Russian Province

In the Russian province of Cour-
land etiquette is excessively rigorous.
Stiff bows form the nearest approach
to cordlality are permitted between
young unmarried people of the OPP
posite sex. Very few opportunities
are afforded them of being better &C
quainted Even at dancing parties
the gentleman is supposed to quit his
partner Immediately on the conclusion
Of polka or waltz. Girls are kept
under constant supervision from the
noment of birth to that OF betrothal.
Unmarried ladies are not supposed
to occupy the seat Of honor on the
sofa. Betrothal entirely changes all
this formality into really objection
able exhibition of sentiment. Billing
and cooing, caresses, and endearments
are indulged in in public without the
least regard to delicacy and good
taste.

New Pennsylvania Marriage Law.
New York Sun,

On the first of next October q new
law requiring licenses for marriages
will go into effect in Pennsylvania
Failure to get license, however, Will
not invalidate the marriage, though
the clergyman Or magistrate who
joins an unlicensed couple in matri~
mony will be liable to fine Of 800.
The license fee is too small to act
as a hindrance to marriage, being
only so cents, and, inasmuch as
people can marry themselves after
having obtained the permit, the trif-
ing charge can cause no hardship,
and may really encourage matrimony.
At the time they get their license the
couple may also make out marriage
papers and have. the marriage record
ed, SO that they will be made man
and wife at less cost than if they were
joined by priest or justice.
Such marriage law can not be re-
garded favorably by those who look
upon the union as religious sacra-
ment, for it is likely to increase the
tendency to enter into matrimony y
without the blessing of the Church.

The desert ption of his own vaccination

correspondent, at Valencia, Spain, is
one of the most interesting and extraor-
binary recitals in the annals of medical
experiment. The bacili had been grown
in meat-broth. This broth was injected
hypodermically, very deep in the upper
arm. The dread effects of cholera (but
in form mitigatcd TO human endur-
ance) soon evidenced themselves. Rigid
ity, nausea, muscular spasm, the dysen-
tcric pain in the spine, collapse, and sleep
followed each other. At the end of

A COWbOy'S Life,

A cowboy writes from Hat Creek,
Wyoming, to the New York Sun. TIL.
life of cowboy is not all sunshine
neither is it all six shooters and bowie
knives as some of our Eastern friends
suppose. In the spring, when work be-
gins, which is from the 18th of Nav 6
the last of November, there is continual
rush and excitement. The life has ITS
destinations, like many other vocatioas,
aud you find some who make their ma TX
at other professions following this Ii e.
Early rising is one of its chief charact r.
istics. After the cook rouses his cam,
and breakfast is over the night herder
rounds up his horses, and eve =
one catches his horse and prepares FIR
the days work. One general forem III
gives the orders, and the boys divide up
into punches, according to the driv s
and the locality of the country. TIL
drive main creek OF river and all s
tributaries for certain distance up an
down, and all meet at % designated
place, where the cattle are worked per-
haps by ten or twelve different outfits.
Sometimes one and sometimes two
round ups arc made in one day. Some
very amusing incidents take place. The
tenderfoot who is unlucky enough to be
endorsed is an object of mirth for a
whole day, and he, of course, thinks
that the cowboy has no sympathy for
fallen man; but here he is wrong, for a
larger hearted lot of fellows it is hard to
find Being used to dangers, they laugh
where an average man would tremble
and turn pale. When the seasons work
is over CHEYENNE or some neiohborinr
town catches the majority of the boys
until their pockets get light. Then the
ranch is their place until spring.
