Home Rule.
From Puck.1

d.
Mr.. Poultney has very inquisitive
son, who is much interested in foreign
politics.
"Pa," said he the other morning,
"what is home rule ?"
"Home rule" replied Mr.. Poultney,
looking up from his paper, "why,
eyes, pa," persisted the youth;
'but what is home ruler"
"Ask your school-teacher, and don't
bother me; I haven't any time to an
swer such silly questions.
Going down on the car to his Office,
Mr.. Poultney met a business acquaint-
ance.
Rather interesting condition of af-
fairs in England just now," observed
the acquaintance. 81 wonder how
that home-rule matter will be settled. -
81 don't know, I am sure" replied
Mr.. Poultney, pleasantly. 81 was
just explaining the situation to my lit
tie boy this morning. 1t is a very in
teresting question, and one am very
anxious to see settled -

How the Professor Helped His Wife.
From the Boston Record.1

lfFOH Gno BOSTON Record
Speaking of the music we hear in the
spring, reminds the historian Of the
carpets they beat in the spring, ira la!
and of the singular experience of his
friend, Prof. Y, an excellent educator
and profound student, who does not
spurn g. reasonable share of homely
household duties that falls to the lot
of every head of a New England family
OF moderate circumstances.
The other morning, when the pro-
lessor was in his den deeply absorbed
In the contemplation of an abstruse
subject, his wife opened the door and
called softly to him:
my dear, could you help US in our
house cleaning by beating just three
rugs that you'll find out under the
south window of the parlor? IF you
will, please take them out one at O.
time into the back yard end beat them
and hang them on the line, and I'll be
so much obliged"
The professor arose, seized his most
serviceable walking stick and went out
into the yard, still deeply absorbed in
the learned meditations that had oc-
cupied him in the house. Hetook one
of the three rugs from under the par
Tor window, transferred it to the back
yard, and beat it long and manfully,
and hung it on the line. When he came
back for another rug he was still too
much absorbed to notice that there
were still three rugs under the window;
and when he had beaten another, and
had come back again, and there were
still three rugs under the window, his
meditations never switched off from
| the subject of their concentration to
the regular and mysterious renewal
of the third rug.
And SO be kept on, beating those
three rugs and meditating, until the
morning wore to midday; and the
professor began to grow hungry; and
when the yearnings of appetite actually
brought his contemplation down to
sublunary things, it occurred to him
to look at his clothesline, and there
he counted no less than sixteen rugs
all beautifully beaten-a charming
vision of the Orient.
If he had been in the next house at
that moment, he might veheard the
remark:
sI wonder what in the world Mrs. X.
has been putting her rugs out of the
window one at time all the morning
for, for the professor to beat"
The prudent housewife knows how
to utilize to domestic advantages all
the forces and dispositions Of hus-
bands nature.

Geropimo,s Surrender.

WASHINGTON, September THE
following telegram, confirming the
prees dispatches, was received at the
War Department this morning from
Gen. o. o. Howard:
FORT MASON, SAN Francisco, Sept. 7.
"To Adjutant General United States Army,
Washington, d. c.:
"Gen. Miles has returned to Fort
Bowie with Natchez, the con of
Cochise, Geronimo aud his brother,
with three other Apaches, all as
prisoners Ct war. The surrender is
unconditional. Capt. Lawton is fo!-
losing the remainder of the hostiles,
thitty-six adults and three children in
all.
General satisfaction was expressed
st the War Department upon the re-
ceipt of the news of Geronimo's sur
render. Great praise is bes owed upon
Gen. Miles for the excellent conduct
of the campaign. Gen. Crooks work
is not forgotten. 1t said the result Of
Gen. Crooks campaign was of great
value to Gen. Miles, aud the latter has
tub .taEtialiy followed the plan out
lined by his predecessor. With
intrea sed forces it has been possible
10 guard every water hole, and
effectually defeat any attempt OF the
hottles 10 return TO their reservations.
Gen. Drum, Acting Secretary of War,
was in good spirits after the receipt of
TIE official dispatch confirming the
press reports of the surrender. He
said that this IVES the end of war
running, with brief intermissions,
through twenty ye.rs, and Gen.
Miles deserved credit for his vigorous
work. Capt. Lawton had also distin-
guished himself as gallant officer,
and his pursuit OF the hostiles under
adverse conditions aud hardships was
thoroughly commendable. The Act
ing Secretary was not prepared to say
what disposition would be made Of
the clptives, but certainly, he said,
nothing would be done in the matter
uutil the Presidents wishes were
known. The original dispatch had
been promptly transmitted to the Adj
rordacks for the information Of the
Pres dent, and until he had been
heard from the Indians would be held
in confinement at Fort Bowie, Arz.
Other officers Of the department were
espe tally gratified at learning that
Geronimo's surrender was uncondi-
tional. The opinion prevails in some
quarters that the Indians will be
transferred to the custody of
the Interior Department for
a time, and that Geronimo
and his lieutenants will ultimately be
surrendered 10 the civil authorities of
AIiz ina and put on trial for murder,
with result that would require little
effort to guess. An officer Of high
rank, however, inclnes 10 tbs ballet
that the President will never consent
to Surrender Geronimo to the civil au-
but will order bis trial by
court martial if it should be regarded
as proper to try him at all. The same
officer rays that the successful ending
of the campaign would be Of iresti.

and harried an area of rich county
200 miles square as to render it unin-
babtable,
