A LEVEL-HEADED LILY.

Learning that Mrs. Langtry Is inclined
to invest in real estate in New York City,
the Omaha Herald, with the true corner
lot instinct OF the speculative West, in
vites the fair investor to visit the one
horse town on the Big Muddy and plant
few pennies in the immediate neighbor
hood of its grass-grown streets
When the Jersey Lily starts to "grow
up with the West" she will travel iron
one metropolis to another without stop
ping at the intervening deserted villages.
Starting from the city of Vanity Fair, hei
first stop is expected to be at the City o
the Saints, where profitable investments
in real estate await her coming.

WASHINGTON ETIQUETTE.

1t was custom with General Jackson
when trouble arose in his Cabinet to ask
what woman is at the bottom OF it? His
knowledge OF feminine human nature was
Washington society. The condition OF
things there reminds one OF the good
woman whose husband had resolved the
appointment OF Corporal in the militia
company OF the village, After the newly
appointed official and his better
half had retired for the night the
matter was discussed in connection
with the new social relations of the wife
and their proper adjustment with her
female acquaintances. A Aprecocious iuye-
nile from the trundle-bed had been an
interested listener to the discussion, and
he astonished the recipients OF martial
honors with the startling question: care
we all cOrporals, mother?'' NO." re-
sponded the maternal parent, "nobody is
corporals but me and your pa"
From a special in morning
contemporary we learn that the
"kitchen cabinet" is again at
work. "The wives of Cabinet officers
are now required to pay first calls upon
the wives OF Senators. Mrs. Endicott, Mrs.
Villas and Mrs. Whitney recently met
at the residence of Mrs. Manning and
the four ladies had discussion as to
whether the .Hoar bill should be regard
ed as changing the relative social rank
ing of the two bodies.
A correct report OF the momentous
discussion would make lively reading.
The subsequent caudle and informal
discussion extended into the midnight
hours within the sleeping apartments OF
the wearied Cabinet officers.
Under the Hoar bill, the Presidential
succession is transferred from the Senate
to the Cabinet, hence the feminine
tiutter, and the probability that hereafter
the constructive corporals OF the "kitchen
cabinet will outrank the feminine
attachments OF u. S. Senators.

Ir is matter OF breakfast-table his

family which connects the Queen grand

Is it possible that the few burden
bearing readers OF the Sunrise Church
organ are to be bombarded at long range
by the underground Sunday editor?
Judging by the interminable links OF
mal-odorous Chinese ammunition dis
played in last Sundays edition OF the
folio OF folly-the herald of "innocuous
desuetude," the identical Monsieur
Tonson has come again. One would
suppose that the secular and profane
editor would grow wrathy over this Sun
day imposition.

A Deer Run Down an the Town. Religious
Awakenina.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch
DECEMBER 90, 1885.
Considerable excitement was created
this afternoon among the residents OF
the west end Of town by seeing deer
running through the streets, and it was
not long before number Of men and
boys were in pursuit. The deer ran
through the courthouse yard and across
Court street into the grove around the
residence of Mr.. B. 9. Rust, where 1t
fell exhausted. Here it was captured
by Messrs. O.. T. Hoffman, deputy
clerk, and 7. j. Berry, one of the edi-
tors of the Page Courier, and Master
Frank Pierce, who were in the county
clerks office when the deer passed.
They caught it before the crowd who
were in pursuit came up. The deer
was run down and made little resist
ance, and its throat was consequently
cut without much difficulty.
The deer was started in the Massa-
mutton mountain, west OF town, by
several hunters with their hounds I;
several dogs coming up after it was
killed 1t was buck and weighed 100
pounds. Some of the old residents of
the town remember seeing deer run
through the town many years ago,
which was caught and killed Just out
side of the corporate limits.
The series of meetings which have
been in progress for several weeks past

conducted by Rev. II. NJ. Wharton, of

night. Nearly one hundred persons
prOfessed conversion, more than half OF
whom have united with the Baptist
congregation, and the remainder with
the other churches of the town. 1t is
said that never before has there been
such a religious awakening among our
people. During the balance of the
week services will be held at the
Lutheran church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. j. /. Miller. AT the
close OF these services a series OF
meetings will be commenced at the
Methodist Episcopal church. L.

Dies MONIES, IA, January 1.-The
path of the officers who attempt to en-
force the prohibition Law in Iowa is not
always strewn with roses. Wednesday
night Deputy-Sheriff Pierce went to the
saloon Of Lorenzo Ill, in Des Moines,
with search-warrant. Not finding any
contraband in the bar-room, he tried
the door leading to the cellar, but found
it locked. When the bar-keeper refused
to open the door Pierce broke it epen.
Descending the staircase By q dim Light
he saw the beer-keg in the cellar and
started for it, but walked into pit
about nine feet deep, the bottom of
which was set with sharpened stakes.
Pierce threw out his arms and caught
on the sides Of hole, and by the aid
of Constable Hansen, who accompanied
him, he was rescued before falling
on the stakes. The officers say that
the pit, had been freshly dug and
had every appearance Of having
been especially constructed for .
trap. When released Pierce seized
the bser-keg and carried it upstairs
and placed It in the hands Of Constable
Hansen. Meanwhile the lbsr-keeper
had SEPT for the police. Two officers
came up and arrested Piercs on the
charge Of injuring the, building. Lo-
renzo III also fled . complaint against
him for malicious injury TO the build
ing. The case has not yet been de-
cided.

every man was saved. Beckley was
