What They Were.



A hostess who cannot preserve her serenity
upon even the most crucial occasions is ladk
ing in one OF the most essential qualities Of
an entertainer. The thouEhtless spilling If
her best WINE, the soiling of her whitest table,
cloth. nay, even the smashing of a whole tray
full of her best old family china, should not
cause one muscle of her countenance to
change.
On the other hand, an affected ignorance
respecting the contents of the days bill of
fare is at times almost as fatal as the opposite
extreme. / was myself present at dinner
party at which one of the untutored stable
helpers had been brought in on an emergency
to assist. What are these, JohnP" inquired

her right elbow. AZ don't know, ma'am,

pence apiece.n

a Frenchman with a Queer VIII.

A peculiar case is in hand at the American
Hospital, at Eau Claire. Octive Babillard.
Frenchman from Thorp, has been placed in
the hospital nearly exhausted by loss of blood
from wounded hand. The patient is an
example of the very rare cases in which
peculiar disorder Of the nervous system and
complete temporary paralysis of will power
compels the patient to Immediately perform
any act which he is ordered suddenly and
perem ptorily to do. A careless companion,
knowing Babillard's weakness. had held up
to him an open razor. shouting, "Grab it,"
Babillard did so, and the f1ngersof one of his
hands were nearly severed. on previous
occasion the patient jumped from a fourth
story window while under a similar uncOn-
trollable impulse and dislocated his ankle.
He says he cannot account for his strange
inability to resist the impulse to perfrm any
act, however dangerous, which he is directed
10 do.

From Ben :PerleV Poo1es "reminiscences.
Much as John Tyler has been abused, he de-
serves credit for having stopped the dismissal
OF Democratic clerks in the departments to
make places for Wings. One day, shortly af-
ter he became President. one of the Secreta-
rles had sent notices to fifteen OF the clerks
employed in the department OF which he was
the head that their services would not be re-
qured any longer by the government Jem-
mic Maher, the public gardener, heard Of this
wholesale official decaptatiOn, and, seeing
Mr.. Tyler soon afterwards on the portico If
the White House, went to him and stated the
case. The President Immediately sent for
the Secretary who came, bringing with him, as
authority for what he had done, the record OF
missed clerk. That's all very we'll"
said President Tyler, when he had
heard the Secretary's Indictment,
but you must restore these men. If you
don I, l snail have their wives and children

clerks were accordingly reinstated. The

What is to be done with the pent-up
war spirit of the Texas cowboys has
now become a question of considerable
interest in Texas since it seems to be I'M
derstoed that there is to be no war with
Mexico. The cowboys might be turned
loose on the Apaches. They might be
able to catch them. The regular troops
don't seem TO have much success In that
direction.

taken passage for voyage over the stormy
ocean OF journalism came very near founder
ing on the sunken reef of a sheriff's attach

brightly above her and the threatened catas-
trophe was averted. 1t may have been risky
thing Tor Miss Cleveland to EN- bark in such

were fortunate in being able TO head the pas
senger list with the name of a prominent
member Of SO lucky family.

The American Grocer SAYS that there
are many signs that consumption has
again caught up with production, and
that we are are now on the eve Of another
period of good times. Railroad building
has begun to increase again; our steel
rail mills are not able to supply the de-
mands for rails, and orders are again be-
ginning to be placed In Europe; general
manufacturing and business is improv-
ing, as Is shown by the improved demand
for money from all sections of the coun-
try, which has drawn down the surplus
OF the New York banks over the legal
reserve from sixty millions last year to
eight millions this year; stocks of manu-
faotured goods are generally small, and
prices 30 low that any change must be for
an advance; many items In the grocery
line are firm and tending upward, 80
it looks as il VIC not only were
likely to see good steady
trade, but as if another "boom" was
coming. Indeed, this is inevitable every
few years, for the ground swell of Increas-
ing population is sure to catch up with
overproduction. The Railroad Gazette of
Aug. 8 shows that since the census Of 1880
our population has increased 100000, or
nearly 20 per cent, and that on July l it
amounted TO %, 96l,000. With the emigra-
ton for the next Jour years no larger than
last year, and the same rate of natural in
crease in our population, it would bring
it up to 6G, 100000 in 1890, or about l6,000,-
900 increase in the ten years. With such a
tremendous increase of population bust
ness boom every few years is certain.

The State Militia Law.

There does not appear to be as much
familiarity with the militia law of the
State as there ought to be. This law was
approved in October Of last year, and its
provisions are comprehensive and far
reaching. 1t was clearly the intention of
those who drew 1t to lodge ample power
with the authorities to prevent anything
like riot. or violation OF the laws by a
mob. If the authorities understood its
provisions thoroughly, and, when neces-
sary, exercised promptly the authority
which it gives them, it would not be an
easy matter for a mob to take a prisoner
from those charged with his safe keeping
and lynch him if there were a military
company in the vicinity.
The law is very clear that in case Of an
emergency, when there is not time to call
on the Governor to order out the soldiery,
the Mayor of any town, city or village, in
which volunteer forces are located.
may direct the commander of each COM
pany OF, or part of company of such vol
unteer forces to call out his command to
enforce the laws and preserve the peace.
1t is the duty of such commander and
every member OF his command to respond
to the call of the Mayor.
There is another provision of the law
that ought to be generally understood. 1t
is that any person who remains in any
assemblage from which a shot is fired,
or missile is thrown, at volunteer forces
is guilty OF misdemeanor, and if any
person remains after the assemblage has
been ordered to dispense he is guilty of q
felony and liable to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
There are a good many other provisions
of the military act of this State with
which the general public and the authorI-
ties ought to be familiar. If the authori-
ties in all parts OF the State were fully
acquainted with the powers which the
law confers upon them it would not be
difficult for them, In cases of emergency,
to prevent violations of the law and pre-
serve the peace. If mob gathered to
lynch prisoner or to destroy property a
prompt call for the militia would check
it and make it respect the law.

A Solitary Survivor.

NEW YORK, January l3.-The schooner
Cassie Wright, 800 tons, with guano from
Philadelphia to Savannah, off Fryingpan
Shoals on Friday, the 9Th inst, and while
leaking badly, was struck by heavy gale
OF wind from the Southwest. Captain
Clark turned his ship and Scudded for
Beaufort, but was compelled to beach his
vessel on Friday night, about six miles
west of Cape Lookout light, and three
miles east of Beaufort Bar. The Stew
ard was swept away soon after the vessel
struck. One sailor was drowned in at
tempting to get ashore, and another was
knocked overheard and lost on Sunday
by the breaking of the miZzen mast
The Captain and mate froze to death
on Sunday, and one sailor on Sunday
night at eight O'Clock. Another sailor,
the only one of the crew left, was rescued
yesterday about ten O'Clock by crew of
natives. The natives, to the number of
nearly fifty men, with several boats that
they carried across the banks, stayed on
the beach from Saturday until yesterday
in the worst spell of weather that we
have had for many years and made every
effort in their power to reach the suffer
ers, but the wind was blowing gale
right on the beach, making tremendous
sea in which no boat could live.
The rescued man did all in his power
to keep his companions from freezing.
He beat and kicked them constantly, but
to no purpose. They would sleep, and
sleep brought death. The crew of the
schooner were without anything to eat or
drink from Wednesday night, the 9TH
instant. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
if there had been life saving station at
Cape Lookout tie six lives would have
been saved

Yesterday morning Mrs. Hetty Maurer,
and her two-year-old child were found on
the roadside two miles from Mrs. Maui
rer's house, and near the house of heI
father, John Klinger, frozen to death.
Mrs. Maurer had been a petted child.
Her mother died five years ago. In 1888
she ran away with Joseph Maurer, farm
hand, and her father forbid her to ever
darken his door again.
A year ago Maurer went to Canada and
for while sent money to her, and With
her own little earnings and aid from an
only sister, she managed to exist. Hell

pox epidemic. She learned his fate only
two weeks ago. Thinking time had
softened her fathers heart, she went
to his house Sunday to ask to
be taken back with her child. The old
man refused, and she left. When found
yesterday the baby was wrapped in heI

taken charge of the remains, and refuses
to let old man klinger take them for bur-
