Why the Women Are Pleased.

The women of the United States seem es-
pecially gratified at the compliment paid their
sex by the superintendent of the bureau Of
engraving and printing in selecting the
vignette of Martha Washington to adorn the
new 81 silver certificates. Mr.. Graves has
received large number of congratulatory
letters from the friends of the womenis move
ment all over the country; but the present
superintendent deserves only the credit of
selection, for, as matter Of fact, neither the
vignette of Martha Washington nor that of
Gen. Grant, which is ON the s5 notes, has
been engraved expressly for this purpose.
They were chosen during the administration
of Casilear in the bureau of printing and en-
craving, and have been waiting for years to
be used-Washington Letter.

by the frost-bourd window the children
were not beside me. The sitting room
fire had died down into the ashes; the
door into the hall was open, and my
husband had on his overcoat He was
holding me tightly in his arms.

tel struck 12. We listened to its strokes
till the last one died away.
1t is Thanksgiving morning. said my
husband, solemDly.
When the morning really came, with
its fresh, frolicking winds and sunlight,
and blue skies, with its merry faces and
gay voices, and the happy children rap.
ping at my door, l thought of what he
said, Perhaps the boy has been to you
Sometimes think he must bave been. so
real and sweet is, even now, the memo+
ry of his coming. All that day he stood
beside me. Ali that day l saw his peace
full face, and felt the blessing of his
smile, and heard his low, sweet voice.
What for months l had locked upon
and feared with the bitterness of a great
dread, the face. the smile, and voice
made almost painless.
The children's merry greeting did not
hurt me; my fingers did not tremble
when they twined the fresh green
leaves about the walls.
The older children went with us to
church that morning. The little church
was very still and pleasant, and some
how the service stole away down into
my heart. 1t was no eloquent preacher
that we heard; only plain man, with
Gods plainest gifts of mind and culture
But the day was real to him, and l list
ened. A bit of Mrs. Browning's music
kept singing itself in my soul:
l praise Thee while my days go on,
love Thee while my days GO on;
Through dark and dearth, through fire
and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
l thank Thee while my days go on.
think that l did thank HIM who,
only last year, had sat there with my
boy beside me.
l think that when the dear familiar
words flooded the church with harmony
again, as on that other morning, and
John and l clasped hands SILENTLY
think we uttered the old, old cry: Bless
ed be the name of the Lord
We stopped after chucrh together
where the boy was lying, to let May lay
down her little green wreath, and 1 was
glad that she could do it calmly. Some+
how | felt as if tears would be profana-
tiOn just then. Then we went quietly
home.
1t was happy home that day-as hap
py as it could be when we did not SEE
him. Yet knew he was there.
Did Won think T shonld NOT ha with
you, mother?'
heard it over and over; 1 bear it
over and over now; shall hear it when

grave. He wishes US to be happy; l

A Quick Recovery.

It gives us great pleasure to state that
the merchant who was reported to be
at the point of death from an attack OF
Pneumonia, has entirely recovered by
the use of DIR Wm Halls Balsam for
the Lungs. Naturally he feels grateful
for the benefits derived from using this
remedy for the lungs and throat; and in
giving publicity to this statement we
are actuated by motives of public bene>
faction, trusting that others may be ben.
efitted in a SIMILAR manner. Ills At.

ANYONE who thinks that wheat has
taken the throne vacated some time
since by King Cotton, would do well to
bear in mind that the value of the but
ter. cheese and milk produced in the
United States in the single year 1884
was FIVE hundred millions of dollars, and
the value of dairy products aggregated
something like hundred millions more
than the entire wheat crop of the coun-
try was worth.

Originated in a Kneipe.

During the same year spent a few days
in Bonn, Germany. In "kneiPe" noticed
in the centre of the table thick cord, the
same as you find in some of the old restau-
rants for call bells. othe cord was fastened
a fox's tail, and whenever any one told dry
story or related an exploit that seemed doubt
full there was call for "Fox," and junior
student, who acted as waiter, or fag, as the
English call it, pulled the fox's tail and rang
a bell was told this custom had existed for
fully 200 years.
Now if that doesn't explain the origin Of
the chestnut bell call me stupid. .-Philadelphia

THE Voice represents itself to its
readers an ardent friend of temperance.
But the fact is that it is Iaboring pri-
marily for the success of the third par
ty movement; that its cheif end is poll
tics, not prohibition. 1t has shown that
it can be counted upon to oppose any
efforts looking to temperance reform
that do not furnish grist for the third
party mill. An honest and earnest at
tempt was made by the friends of tenn
perance in the last legislature in behalf
of a prohibition amendment. Where
was The Voice in this fight? Crying
and sparing not for the passage of the
amendment? Not at all. After the
vote was taken The Voice remarked:
ave are charged with having discour-
aged the friends of the'effort to pass the
prohibhitory amendment resolution
through The legislature. This may be
true"

What does this establish2 1t estab
fishes that The Voice was playing a
double game. at may be true" it is
forced to admit, that it discouraged the
friends of prohibition in the legislature
but then it never antagonized their
bills. II did indeed throw cold water on
their efforts, but at the same time it
expressed itself talk being cheap-un'
qualifipdly in their favor. 1t chuckled
in its sleeve when the amendment failed.
but there we're big tears in its eyes as it
chuckled 1t was valient for reform.

couraging anybody.-N. Y. Tribune.

BADLY TAKEN IN.
telegram from New York, November 2S says:
The women gamblers of Wall street are in panic
They have been bulling the market and have won,
but their pet broker declines to pay up. T.. Brig
ham Bishop used to receive their puts and calls,
and T. Brigham Bishop will give them nothing in
return. MIR. Bishop is in an unenviable predica-
ment. His office was at No. SO Broadway. The
upper floors OF this building daily infested by
feminine gamblers stalking their dollars on the
dubious results announced by the stock Indicator
For reasons best known to himself Mr. Bishop had
on Saturday neglected to make good certain losses
and as natural result his fair clients were in a
fever heat of Indignation. One of them said: 'sThiS
place Is kept by I. Brigham Bishop. He failed
about year and a half ago, but paid up then. He
hasn't done so this time. We lady traders had
been buling the market on the favorites, and
when we struck it rich week ago Tuesday there
wasn't any cash to pay us. Mr.. Wood and Mr.
Peafrer had been running this place for him and
he had neglected to put up the cash."
In the corner, all by herself, sat an aged woman
in deep mourning rocking herself to and fro in her
chair. Her face was carewOrn, and it was with

Bishop had instructed all his clerks to say that
he was in Washington, but he was found at new
Office at 60 Broadway by a committee Of three
trate ladies' He declared that he had gone out OF
men who were his clerks had been running it
themselves. When confronted with the contracts,
which were issued in his name, he declared that
his confidence had been grossly abused by the
young men. He promised, however, to settle the
losses sometime If the clerks did not. One of the
clerks denied that they had any responsibility in
the business and claimed to be at work for Bishop
on salary, which had not been paid for two
weeks.

policy has been tried before, said Congressman p
A. Collins to-day to Press reporter, In regard to
the recent manifestation OF coercion policy on the
part OF the tory government of England in its
dealings with the Irish question. 'It has proved
once to be an utter failure and its chances OF sue
cess to-day are Infinitely poorer than ever before
Is TOO late now to resort to such measures. The
lrlsh people are far better prepared to meet the
unjust cruelty OF the English government than at
any time heretofore. There IS but one possible
outcome to the tory policy, 1t will fail"
