"Ned Buntline's" Writing.

TFd-Bits gave some account of "Ned
Buntlines early life lately. He told the
Detroit Free Press the other day about
his writing.

Judson, in response to question. 81

When Shall We Go to BedP

1t will never do for us to adopt q
universal plan to refresh man, and send
all the world to bed at nine o'clock.
Civilization has made too great
strides for that. Because some men
cannot endure excitement, and are
worn to thread mentally and unable
to sleep a wink after an evening gather
ing of friends or the opera, or the
theatre, shall we sit in judgment and
condemn all these amusements? His
next door neighbor goes home from one
of them refreshed in body and mind,
hops into bed humming a tune, and is
off in a deep sleep; if he dreams at all,
to go over the sweet recreating scenes
he has passed through. Sensible, sea-
sonable amusements within bounds, no
doubt, are healthful. When any one of
them becomes an absorbing passion,
then it is that it works destruction on
man, soul and body.-Mdrgaret Sidney,
in Good Housekeeping.

A Woman at the Bottom of 1t.

We all know the story Of the Turkish
Cadi who held that there was always a
woman at the bottom of every trouble.
On one occasion there appeared before
him one of his officers, who stated that
a certain man had fallen out of
the window and killed himself,
.Where is the womanP' asked the
Cadi. ut was a man, Your Sublime
Highness," responded the officer.
Where is the womane" repeated the
Cadi. 1T was a man, Your Ecstatic
Nobleness." humbly reiterated the offi-
Ger. "Where is the woman?" fiercely
demanded the Cadi. Il tell you it was
a man who killed himself, Your Eful-
gent Radiance, roared the officer. Then
an explanation followed, when it turned
out that the man was leaning out of his
window to look at woman, u few
doors off, when he lost his balance and
fell to the ground. '.Ah!' cried the
Cadi triumphantly. Il knew there was
a woman at the bottom of it. There al
ways is."-TeEas Siftings.

PowDERLY FOR GOVERNOR.

There is Il strong disposition among the
Democrats of Pennsylvania to nominate
Powderly for Governor, Although politics
are ignored in the knights OF Labor Or
ganization, it is understood that the
Chiefs feelings incline to that party, and
it is therefore presumable, if he should be
elected, that his general policy would be in
consonance with its principles. That he
possesses extraordinary executive ability,
has been abundantly proven during his
career as the head OF the powerful Order
over which he at present presides. 1t is
estimated that he could draw sufficient
strength from the opposition to more than
offset the Republican majority in the
State, and therefore his nomination would
be mastery stroke of policy as well as
principle, The Democratic is essentially the
laboring mems party OF the Nation, and the
nomination OF their favorite advocate and
chieftain would be graceful recognition
OF their claims to Executive representa-
ton in one OF the largest States OF the
Union. 1t is moreover doubtful whether
a man could be selected from either party
who possesses more OF the general requi-
sites for the position than he, and his
election would prove glorious victory to
the industrial classes of the entire coun-
try, and rescue the Keystone State from
the grasp of arrogant capital, which has
so long shaped its political course.

sideration the limited field from which
they have to draw their recruits.
Looking over the statistics Of the Or
der, as presented in late report, we find
record which is simply wonderful. The
strength OF the organization is represented
in membership of nearly half million,
and during the past year the immense
sum of $2, ,20S, ,O21 20 was paid out OF the
treasures OF the several lodges for the
relief OF distressed members and for
aid to the widowed and fatherless.
This amount is but little in excess OF that
paid out annually for many years
past. Yet, the Brotherhood make
no loud boasts of their labors
in behalf Of suffering humanity, no
ostentatious display of the figures
which mark the extent OF their good
work, but are content to labor on in the
consciousness of doing well the duties
which the laws OF their great and benevo.
lent Order enjoin upon them.

noe polvpamist or unlawful cohabitor.
He puts in his time agreeably, kicking
football, pitching quoits, playing check

friends, and at the expiration OF his term
he is escorted home by his polygamous

quently has bestowed upon him lucra-
tive office as a reward for his "martyr-
DOM" Instead of including women in
the provisions OF the law, the penalty for

offenders, punishment. The prospect OF
couple Of years hard labor

it with as much impunity as they would
