Who Shall Seat the Statesmen?

Miss Lizzie Calls. State Librarian, has re-
ceived applications from nearly all the newly
elected members of the Legislature for desirable
seats in the legislative halls, and they all want
the very best seats" AS yet, however, she has
been unable to locate them, as she has been fur
nished with no diagram of the halls She yes
terday consulted the State. house commissioners
about the matter, and they informed her that
they considered it their duty to seat the mem
bers themselves, and would assign the seats by
lot, after the plan followed in seating members
of Congress. The law, Miss Calls claims
specifically provides that the assignment of
seats shall be made by the State Librarian and
she will not consent to any such an arrange
ment as the commissioners propose AS soon
as she is provided with diagram she proposes
to seat the members

MISSIONARY WORK In MADAGASCAR.
Mrs. Streets Interesting Story of the Re-
forms Brought About by Christians.

The Young Peoples Foreign Missionary So
ciety, The Willing Workers." of the Friends
Church, last evening gave an entertainment at
the church. Among the numbers, that of Master
Evans, who rendered short reading com posed
for the occasion, and 1.-THE Missionary Hymn"
by a Quartette, were specially interesting.
Mrs Street, who has been a missionary to
Madagascar since 1866, spoke quite Interestingly
for some time. Shortly after she and her hus-
band arrived there the last heather queen of
that country was buried Her coffin was very
massive and heavy, being made of %. 222 silver
dollars They were welded together bars of
$50 each, and the coffin constructed at the tomb of
the bars. All the queens ornaments and dresses,
among which We're fifty of silk were buried
with her. Her cousin was soon after crowned
queen, and at the coronation Bible was used
instead of the idols, as before that time In her
speech the queen explained her religion, and
told her people they might embrace it or wor-
ship idols. just as they chose, but afterward
the country was declared Christian, and fetch
worship was given up. The children of that
country, unlike some little Americans, thought
it grand thing to attend the mission schools.
They studied hard, learned rapidly, and some of
them came from long distances in the country.
Missionaries going to that country learn the Ian
guage in about three months we'll enough to
preach
Mrs. Street had some beautiful presents
in cloth, woven by the natives besides sew
eral idols charms and amulets of the heather
worship, among other things a palanquip, the
manner of using being practically illustrated by
boys dressed as native carriers. The church was
crowded, and the Willing Workers will have
quite sum to add to that already in the treas
ury,

VIII Not Re Guded

1t is altogether probable that the State house
dome will not be gilded, for several reasons
One is the great expense it will incur, and
another is that the gliding will not hold its color

Eastern cities where domes have been gilded,
soft coal is not burned. The belief prevails
about the State Offices that the dome, if gilded,

Bunch is what he calls "aspiring
nobility" and if that is "the sim

LITERARY AND MUSICAL.

With November, comes the first
number of Home Life, a handsome
ly illustrated monthly of twenty
four pages. The publication ema-
mates from Charlton street, New
York City, and is issued at s1.00
per year. Its engravings are far
above the average, while the read
ing matter shows the handiwork of
an expert.
Close upon the heels of the st.
Louis autumnal festivities come
Balmer & Weber with all the music
which the occasion made famous.
They will furnish on application
the piano arrangement of any of
the music played by the renowned,
Gilmore band, "Gaily Onward"
being the latest sensation and
which is introduced in the Little
Tycoon" as "Yahmoh Yahmoh. 4"
Two Knight Templar marches,
one by Stueck, the other by
Postelwaite, are also quite timely.
The "Barnyard," a comic descrip-
tive galop, has also become noted,
partly from a like reason.
