CLEvELAND's reinstatement of Benton,
the nephew of his big Missouri uncle,
aud his refusal to do ditto by Stone, Of
Pennsylvania, has caused no little un-
favorable comment among the members
of his own gang. This, nos because Of
its manifest and palpable injdstiCe e, but
because it will diminish the chances Of
democratic success in 1888. Cleveland
would like nightly to trim his sails for
democratic victory next election but
docs not know how.

THERE is complaint at nearly every
shipping point in Texas of inadequate
shipping facilities for the live stock that
il ready for market. Dallas has orders
ahead for over 400 cars; Colorado City
has 10000 head that have been waiting
shipment for three weeks. The railroad
authorities give no encouragement of a
better state Of things, and claim that ne
cars have gone north and have not re
turned. shippers are indignant, and
some talk of Il drive to Kansas City is in
dulged in.

THE rRvsr.

Sweet - ths change from pleazani thoughts

The silver cleaning melted into gloom.
Then came the evening silence rich and deep
With mingled hreaths Of dew-re]eased per

The few first stars Shone In the azure pale,
Soft a young nuns glances through her
veil
Wa it for darkness that thou waited, sweet
Ah, though thy face was dusk in nights

Thy heart betrayed thee in its qrickened

Nor in the halmy hush OF even-time,
To hear one word more sweet than any

Why Hunting Parties Wear Pink.

An attempt has lately been reported" !"
says the Book Of the Horse ''from the
fashionable English hunting counties to
bring black coats into fashion, instead of
the accepted pinks, which have become too
common and vulgar 1t is quite safe to
prophesy that this bit Of exclusive affecta-
tion will not survive many seasons The
advantages Of pink are many; it can be
seen far of; it is a good letter Of introduc-
tion at every inn and turnpike gate for the
man otherwise well appointed; most men
look well in it; properly treated it wears
longer than black. Formerly it was con-
sidered the correct thing to wear a scarlet
coat much stained Even artificial means
were used to produce the desired effect; but
Of late the custom has been the other way,
and hunting Wallets have discovered some
means Of making two or three hunting
coats look nsw every day OF the season "

Au1rLE LECTURE ON FACES.

What Noses Mean and What Chins In
dleate-Eyes and Lips.
"If Cleopatra's nose had been quarter
Of an inch shorter it would have changed
the-face Of the whole globe" said Edmund
Russell the other night, quoting a French
writer. Then he drew the outlines of three
chins on the blackboard-the normal; the
projecting, which accomplishes some thing in
the world; the retreating, which belongs TO
people who may be good thinkers and good
critics, but who never amount to much be-
cause they lack physical energy. He also
drew mouths that expressed the meaningless
society smile, that is often accompanied by
tired expression Of the eyebrows, thus pre-
senting facial contradiction
A long upper lip often goes with energy,
unless the individual be coarse and lacking
In other characteristics, when it expresses
mere doggednes The normal mouth, that
would be found in a boy, may tighten
into q line, indicating mentality in
the course of ten years, or it may droop and
soften and project, indicating sensuality.
As man di6erentiates from low to higher
typss the features develop their special ex-
preston In low types the nose is fat, like
that Of an animal, and the face is broad. In
high types the face reaches up into the
spiritual and elongates
All expression starts from the normal and
that is most capable Of expression A man
who habitually DIVORCES from the normal
becomes one-sided The mouth emphasizes
the expression Of the eye, as in surprise
Great poets, great artists and great lovers
never lose their childike expression Of won-
der. Mental expression Is concentric; physi-
cal expression eccentric. Ruskin says that
''the thinking man turns himself into two

man turns himself into a four-cornered
sheet, to catch "-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Mahogany Desks of the senate.


The mahogany desks used by the mem
bers Of the United States senate are, with
few exceptions, seventy-five years old. They
were built away back in lSl0-i2. Like old
wine they have improved with age and are
apparently as strong and durable as when
first placed in position. Capt. Bassett, who
has been q sort of factotum about the senate
for half q century Is the only person living
who can point out the desks used by the
great men Of the past, and he, it is unneces-
sary to say, guards his secret we'll II he
did not the relic-hunters would chop them
to pieces within a month
When Mr.. Tabor, of Colorado, was a
member Of ths senate he endeavored to
learn the history of his desk, but Capt
Bassett declined to crafty his curiosity.
Tabor is said to have replied: "Never
mind; I'll at least leave my mark upon it,
SO that posteri:y may remember me by that,
Is nothing else" He wore at that time q
pair Of gold sleeve-buttons with a large
solitaire diamond setting in the center.
With these he gradually made two indenta-
tions in each corner of the desk, and doubt
less fattered himself that he had outwitt /
the captain But the latter as soon as Mr.
Tabor retired from the senate, plugged up
the holes SO deftly that no trace Of their ex-
istence remains. Washington Cor Chicago

LETTER FROM MONTPELIER

The week that has passed since
writing cur last letter from the CAPT.
tai has been quite busy one in the
legislature, though not all the prog
ress has been made which is desira-
BILE to many. The introduction of
bills, both private and public, con-
tinues without abatement, and the
attack upon the present code of laws
will be vigorous, if not particularly
alarming. Among the more import
ant bills may be mentioned one which
proposes to furnish text books to all
the common schools of the state an
other to create a state text book
committee, to be composed of five
members, and to be appointed by the
governor; another bill proposes the
| establishment of a State Board of
Health, which board shall look after
the people, the sanitary condition of
towns and villages, and also attend
to matters having to do with epidem-
les and contagious diseases among
animals the expense of the Board is
not to exceed $4,000 annually
Barbed wire fences along roads and
adjoining owners must have pole
or board on top of the fence courts
which try cases of a scandalous ma
ture must be closed to minors ant
the public. 1t is proposed by som,
of the Orange county people to maxi
two shires for the county, one on th
east side, and one on the west side

This Legislature ought to take some
step to compel the vigorous enforce
ment of our state law which forbids
the killing of song and insect-eating
birds. 1t may be found, too, that
provisions of greater scope and in
creased stringency ought to be added
to it. We do not know that the
murder of small birds to decorate
the bonnets of women has become a
serious evil in this state, as it has in
so many others, but we do know that
it has become quite too common a
practice to kill them for various pur-
poses of taxidermy. It is within
our knowledge that in a certain sec
ton in the north part of the state,
covering a portion of two towns, the
small songsters have been literally
cleaned out-many killed and the
rest driven away-by a taxidermis1
who makes it his business to shoot
them and hire them shot and ther
set them up to take away and sci
to visitors at popular summer resorts
The Legislature should promptly pu
an end to this whole wretched ant
unmanly usiness.-BraHleborO Pho

The Springfield Republican pre-
sents carefully prepared report of
the fall harvest in Western Massa-
chusetts, Northern Connecticut,
Southern Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. The farmers from every sec
ton report an uneventful season
from seed time to harvest, no early
or late frosts to injure crops, no Sc
we're droughts and no hard storms to
blast the field. All the crops are of
an average excellence, while several
in comparison with those of last year
are larger. Corn was the only doubt
full crop: it is started hard, but IN
almost every section it has turned
out well. The first moving of grass
was heavy and by reason of excep-
tionally good hay weather was har-
vested in fine shape. The late rains
have made the rowen heavy and fall
feed abundant. The acreage of to-
bacco is slim and on the decline. Po-
tatoes have Welded well and abun-
dainty, but the apple crop is not uE
to last years, and pears were never
so plenty.

The ravages of cholera in Corea are
stated to be unparalleled in modern
times. A despatch received at San
Francisco last week says: ''No idea
can be formed of the extent of the
scourge. 1t has decimated the cap
ital, where, out of population of
200, 200 the death rate rules at the
frightful rate of l 200 per day. About
as many Coreans as there are people
in the state of California have been
swept away already, and it is hard to
say where the plague will stop. New
er was there a more frightful record
of the ravages of disease on mankind.
The story of the plague of London
is beggared by what is now going on
in Seoul.

In recent speech before British

who had long acquaintance with the
condition of trade and industry in
India said that only 100000 persons
in all India, one in 700, reach an iu-
come of $3.50 yearly, and the average
income of the inhabitants is believed
to be not more than $3.50 yearly
1t is stated on good authority that
there are not less than $4,000, 900 OF
people in India who average one mea
a day of the poorest food.
