Personal Mention.

W. G. Conner, Gould's partner, is worth
100000.
Hon. John B. Raymond is dangerously
i'll with typhoid pneumonia at Fargo.
John L. Sullivan gives such evidences OF
a desire to reform that New York sports
are dumfounded.
:, Lieut.. Colonel Anderson D. Nelson, q.
8. A., died OF pneumonia at Townsville,
Ga. He was stationed at Fort Smelling,
and by fortunate purchases at an early
date in St. Paul and Minneapolis, made a
large fortune. Col. Nelson was a brother
Of Gen. Nelson, who fell at the hands OF
Gen. jeff G. Davis of Indiana, while the two
were stationed at Louisville, in the early
days OF the war, and was United States
mastering officer at Fort Smelling dur
ing the organization OF nearly all the Min
nesota regiments which served during the
Rebellion. The announcement Of his dea tn
will be a painful surprise for many of the
volunteer officers aud soldiers OF this state
While a strict disciplinarian and stickler
for the faithful performance of the minut-
est duties, it was soon found That he was
one OF the kindest-hearted as well MS most
honorable officers in the service.

About Dancing.

Mr.. Allen Dodworth has published in
manual of dancing explicit instruction
as to the proper attitude towards your
partner feminine) in round dances.
Many young gentlemen might profit by
following Mr.. Dodworth's rules, and by
taking timely warning by these addi-
tional suggestions:
One arm is enough to put around the
lady at one time. The ambidextrous
position known in the west as the ''dou-
BILE hug is neither refined nor pleasing
to the eye. Nor is it necessary; the
young lady will not try to get away
until the music stops, if her partner is
respectfully skillful.
You will notice, sometimes, at fire.
mems balls, that some of the gentlemen
hold their partners much as if they were
hose. The men that keep them at
distance as if they were the fire, are
nearer right.
Do not squeeze the young lady while
dancing. If it is necessary to your hap
piness to embrace her it is better taste to
choose retired part of the conservatory
after the dance is over. The swapping
OF ribs around the ball room irritates the
musicians. 49,.
While avoiding undue compression of
your partner, do not allow her to forget
that you are there. Unless your rudder
has been temporarily unshipped, it is,
your duty to steer. If she will not allow
you to do So, it is proper to ask her to
take you to her mother.
It is in this country the lady's privilege
to stop waltzing when she is tired. The
man may keep on until she stops. If
he has a pedometer in his trousers pock-
ct he should not look at the dial until
after he has taken her to seat. To
pull it out at the end of a long waltz and
announce the miles is bad form.
Equally ill-bred is it to mop the brow o.
tentatiously and say Gosh. "--Life. =;

A Relic OF the war Days.

Az ugly war relic unexpectedly developed
in the saw-mill of tho Paducah Lumber
Company, at Paducah recently. In cutting
huge cypress log, which was culled from
q raft of timber just out of the Tennesses
River, the saw grated upon some substancs
which threatened to demolish II before the
machinery could be stopped. Investigation
found an eighteen-pound loaded bomb-shell
embedded in the log, in which the sharp
teeth of the saw had traced cut third of
an inch deep. Nothing outside the log in
Dictated where the shell had entered, prob.
nbly twenty years ago, the bark remaining
smooth and undisturbed. The lettering
and figuring on the leaden plug to the shell,
through which the fuse passed, are still na
plain as ever, and show that the fuse was
clipped TO burst the bomb ct 1900 yards.
1t Ia probable the historical battlefield of
Shiloh furnished the projectilc, as the trees
throughout the Pittsburg Landing and
Shiloh fields were badly cut and broken,
large pieces of shells and solid shot, grape
and canister being to this day pointed out
TO the visitor, embedded, and in some cases
hardly visible, in the huge old trees which
dot the sanguinary fields.

Mormon Church organ) says 1.-THE company

Heretofore there have been much contro.
vcrsy and speculation rs to the extent to
which the prophet increased and multiplied
himself, but the evidence furnished by the
meeting OF The Young Family Associa-
ton is authentic and conclusive as far as
II goes. The church organ makes no state
ment or estimate in regard to the absentees
or the deceased descendants, but remarks
sagucly that they comprised many menu
oers." OF course, If the ordinary ratio of
mortality prevailed in the Young family, .
great many of the prophets descendants
must have died before reaching maturity;

Making Stick Candy, Gum Drops
Lozcnges and other Varieties.
The "stick" candy, which seems to be
an Indigenous American product, is of ordi-

and little cream of tartar to prevent crys-
Utilization. The mass il taken in patches
OF about fifteen pounds to q marble table,
where II is kneaded like bread, and the
fiavoring and coloring worked in. The
paste then goes to the pulling hooks"
where for five or six minutes il is pulled
and twisted and repulled and retwisted at
the hands of workman who certainly earns
his living. Thence it returns to the marble
table, at one end Of which is metal plate,
kept hot, on which he works the candy into
its final shape. Strips are pressed into
the batch, two feet long and foot thick,
and IL Is then drawn and twisted out till II
Is the proper size of penny "stick, the
right length of which is clipped off by huge
scissors. Clear candy is not kneaded or
pulled. Flat candy is run into pans, and
knife Is run across where it is to be broken
into sticks or squares. The drops, fishes,
and other fancy shapes are made by passing
the paste through a machine which cuts
and presses II to the proper size and shape.
Lozenges are rolled ont like pie-crust
sometimes printed in carmine with hand
stamp, and then cut out with dies. Sugar
plums and sugared almonds are made in q
very interesting way, by throwing the nut

into great copper pans, which are shaken
by hand or revolyed by machinery, over a
hot FIRE. Rolled over and over in the moist.
sugar, the plums soon begin to grow, and
are polished of" by each other, while,
above, steam working fans carry of tho dry

out into smaller kettles TO be favored and

Pny of Conrres.nen.

When member dies his pay ceases on
the day of his death. The salary of the
successor commences the day after the de-
cease of the former member, though the
election may not occur for several months.
The new member, in other words draws
pay for time he never served.
A member Is allowed twenty cents mile
age each way, or forty cents mile one way.
and he can check for the full amount OF
both trips when he takes his seat. He Il

most of this sum is pocketed.
The members draw their money In differ
ant ways. There are probably twenty OF
the present House who let their salaries run
into nest eggs. Among these are Scott and
Eyerhart, of Pennsylvania Powell, of ILL.,
nois; Boutelle, Of Maine; Henley, Of Cali
fornia; Jones, Stewart and Reagan, of
Texas Ellsbury, of Ohio; Stone, of Mass
achusctts, and Wakefield, Of Minnesota.
Scott has over a years salary owing him
about $4,000. The other members men,
toned have from 81 900 to SO, 900 to their
credit There are a couple of dozen of
members who always overdraw, or, rather,
borrow from the head of the bank. They
borrow or get in advance sums ranging from
$40 to $500, and at the end Of the month
they have nothing. The great majority Of
the members draw all that Is coming to
them at the end of each month, particularly
those who have their families with them,
Some Of them never see an outside bank,
but let their monthly salary remain and
draw it out in small sums. Others take out
their salaries and place them in other banks
But this is not done as much as formerly.
A number Of them got caught in the Mid
tlleton Bank that broke some time ago.
Most Of the members do all their financial
business over the counter Of the Congress-
sonal bank, and some of them pile checks
up as aigh as 800, 900 in a single session.

A matrimonial authority says; These
two rules will be safe to follow in all but
few exceptional cases First, for woman
TO refuse marriage with any man who is
objected to by her male relatives. provided
they are reasonably well acquainted with
the object of supposed affection; and, sec
ondly, for aman to refrain from Offering
his hand in marriage to woman who Is
not approved by his sister, or, If he Inns
none, by his judicious lady friends. People
who observe these precautions will rarely be
