is severely plain; there is 50 little varil
ton that the prospect soon become
monotonous. \ feature is the bread gal
lcrics, with their immense pillars; ncarl,
every building has them.
In these great hoascs there is room 70:
f hospitality. The people haven't as mucl
l money as VIC have III the North but they
know how to spend what they have bet
ter. 4 New Orleans gentleman said
ga great many people live comfortably
on nothing" If they have but :; dollar
they spend it Ikea king. Society seems
to be their life. Breakfasts, llnchcons,
dinners. balls and receptions. They
never tire Of the crush, the chatter, the
music. They work rs We play. Tic
women arc beautiful and well educated
generally. Mcn ilealizc thcln Their
sway is absolute. The result is doubt
less beneficial They try to live up to
the standard which their male friends
have set up for them-mortals that are
but one step from heaven. 50 link be-
tween woman and an angel" Per-
haps too great a part of their lives is
spent in society; the stream of insin-
cerity and hattcry which is poured into
their cars year in and year out is apt to
wash away the freshness and simplicity
which constitute woman's greatest charm
They read good books, and consequent
ly arc broad-mindcd. They have practi-
cal ideas: and make the best of wives.
Their pale faces Will not compare f:tvora-
bly, with The r1sy checks of Northern
girls, in the eyes OF Northern men at
least. They ruin their compilations by
using powder; at q very c::rly age their
faces are colorlcss. Congress might pass
an anti-face powder act, on the ground
that beauty is gift from the gods for
the benefit of mankind, and She who
rlthlessly destroys it is fit subject for
fine and Imprisonment.
The men do not average as well rs the
women, They a-.a allie, hrii 10 not know
how to make their talents serve them.
They lack energy and application, and
possibly opportunity, although mcr
ought to make opportunities. Very few
Of them still cling to the idea that work
is degrading, that gentleman must he

Bachelors Never Die.

The New York Herald quotes from its
Jacksonville namesakc to prove that
bachelors never die, tkrs::
John Kelly thought TiIdcn too old and
tfrail to run second time us President.
John iscclly is dead. The stalwart Chan
dlcr wrested the Presidency from Tildcn.
Chandler is dead. Grant, it is said,
gould have arrested and imprisoned Til
den if lie lh;aad attempted to claim the
Office he had been elected to. Grant is
dead. Hancock Was chosen as a more
likely man to live through the Presiden-
Gy :l:ql2 Tilden. Hancock is dead. Hen
drici;s Seel1,a&i - have 4 long life ahead
OF him as compared %;;.ii L. nan at the
head OF the ticket. Hendricks is dead.
Seymour, Mcclellan, all the old candi-
dates are dead. Meanwhile Tildcn thinks
there is nothing so invigoratinS as work

ment on the part OF the woman to obey
the man. There WAS no written contract,
simply shake of the hand. In reply to
the question if polyeamv was practiccd
to any extent she shook her head and
said: "Some did it, but never tried it. :"
After 'bnclliHg G stone fence the
scribe started on his wear way Of thirty
odd miles back over the hills to Decker
town, having learned more about eastern
Mormonism in twelve short hours than
he had ever learned before in his life
Is there not moral lurking somewhere
in the fact that the only two living Nor
mons of the two or three hundred who
once lived there are al oIl maid and all
old bachelor?

''Ycs, dear
':And do remember the night before
how You asked me to come down and
hold the stone steps still enough for you

Yes, dear"
And the night before that, how you
tried to jump into the bed as it passed

''Yes, dear. >

sNr. Cleveland will beat everybody
Ii. 'SS." said Representative Miller, OF
Texas, to a SttS;..s. reporter the other day.
''Pubic opinion is in his ii;.rcr and no
one can beat him. Ii the election oc-
CURED this fall he would be elected by
an immense majolity.
''Will he bestrongin the convention?"
asked the Star.
''Yes. Machine politicians can't suc-
ceed in Iiisl!!. against well defined pub
lie sentiment. With Mr. C,,l,,is,.c second
on the ticket they would get the largest
majority ever given to any ticket"
There is considerable talk of this sort
among Democrats in tho House. It
seems to be acknowledged on all sides
that the turn Of the tde is towards Mr..
Cleveland's denomination, and that al
ready it has got out Of the control Of the
Observation-Disclosures Star.

Surface Water.

In view of the vast Quartity Of FAM that
has fallen recently, saturating the ground
with water and filling the wells with surface
drainage, medical authorities advise that
much sickness may be avcrscd by drawing
off the water now in the wells, and contin-
ming the operation for two or three times,
oruntil the water resumes its normal depth.
This is an important matter which, in the
absence of any sanitary regulations, should
not be overlooked by owners Of wells.

in Topeka last Saturday informed Us
that the u. p. officials, that Is, those
high IN power, were secretly In favor
of Anderson and that he had ample
proof 10 satlsfy him Of the truth Ofthe
assertion. Then last Monday when
Charles Francis Adams was IN
the city he told q prominent gentle
man that he (Adamsl would like to
ses Mr.. Anderson returned TO Con-
gress. This is authentic and any
dOubter can be convinced. II Mr..
Anderson was dangerous to the
roads their highest officials would not
be 90 listless sbOut the matter Of op-
eniy encouraging his can didacy. The
fact is Mr.. Andersen is q Dretender Of
the most overwhelming kind. He
has never hurt q railroad In his life,
except BY occupying one Of its best
passenger coach seats without paying
f0F it. Time viii remove much Of
the false glory which now invests
him, and the people will wonder how
is it they were 80 imposed on.
