A Glimpse of the Country Store

Did you ever glance through country or
suburban general store" When the usual
economical man whose taste does not run to
the plow, the rather gentle and unambitiouS
gentleman, with the pretty blond wife and
new baby every year, looks around in q
quiet spot to see what he can bring into the
village for little capital to sell at moderate
profit, he sees the limits of any special article
except whisky, and he goes in for everything.
OF course he has school books, some of them
rather out of date but still full of questions
and answers and figures and facts. Toys he
must have, and here and there you will find
the transparent slate, the brilliant top, the
puzzle of last century, tho old, old figures
that ve-if you are old enough to be in
cluded-were brought up to consider the
height Of ingenuity, the acme of entertain
ment You will find candies in bottles,
made on old principles, and healthy to eat if
pasty to look at There may be flies in the
bottles, but with ingenious youth they pass
for cUTrantS, and once IL 4 while the store
keeper comes across a drummer who sells
him lot Of old faded fancy paper boxes
from dead Christmas times and birthdays of
the past and breaks up the village with the
sensation.
Then you'll find slate pencils. They have

Of their customers. these country store
keepers and 50 they always tie the pencil TO

Stacks of picture books of a pattern the city

Dealing with TramDs in ENGLAND

Not few citizens Of the United States
hold the belief that the species tramp Of the
genus homo is not only indigenous to this
country, but is confined to it. A greater mis-
take could scarcely be made. The tramp in
England is not only quite as ubiquitous as in
the United States, but the cause of constant
drain upon public funds which nothing but
long habit could make a sorely taxed commu-
nifty acquiesce in. Not to the chance and not
over tender mercies of a police station, or the
draughty and dog haunted shelter of farm
er's barn, is he compelled to trust when the
early autumn frosts begin to render the gate
of the field an insufficient protection from cold
O. nights Then the casual ward" of the poor
house opens its doors to receive him. Wherever
one of these monuments to the much endur-
ing charity of the English nation rears itself,
he can claim a comfortable bed of straw and
a meal Of honest bread in the morning But
tackled to these privileges which makes the lot
of the English tramp such happy one are
three conditions, the inevitable enforcement
of which disliketh him. He must take bath,
be must discard his natural rags and don a
clean night robe, and he must break so much
stone or pick such quantity of oakum before
he is free Of the street again.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

Iabouchere Saws of Gladstone.

With regard to the lofty religious spirit
with which Mr.. Gladstone approaches his
tasks, Mr. Labouchere has recently said a
good thing. l should preface it by remark
ing that even when he is wrong, as his enc
mics say he always is, they allow that before
deceiving others he begins by deceiving him
self. "He would be bad man." says Labby,
"to play poker with, for when you thought
you had him he would produce four aces from
up his sleeve. 1t is not SO much having the
cards in his sleeve that would object to, but
to the fact that he would swear they were
put there by divine dispensation."- IT. P.

THE TOWCR OF LONDON.
Visit to tho Room in Which the Crown
Jewels Are kept-A Risk.

Jewels are hepC-A hiSh.
The next most interesting place we visited
was the crown room, where the regalias are
kept. Each of us paid the woman in charge
sixpence, and after climbing flight Of
| rickety wooden stairs into the second story Of
n so-called tower we were ushered into the
| famous room where are kept many million
dollars worth of precious stones and gold,
which made up the several crowns, scepters
and other insignia of royalty on exhibition.
The crown jewels have been kept in the
Tower ever since the time of King Henry III,
about $50 years ago. They were kept here for
safe keeping, for burglar proof safes were I'M
known in those days In a great glass case,
surrounded by light network of iron, are
the crowns that had been worn by Victoria,
by her husband, Prince Albert, and by the
Prince of Wales. Beside these are the queens
diadem, a sort of crown made for the queen
of James II, and ST. Edwards crown, SO
called, which has been worn by some Of the
predecessors of her majesty, and a queens
cOnsOrt crown. There are in the case several
! scepters, made hollow, of gold, about three
feet long and an inch in diameter 1t was q
dazzling show of gold, diamonds, emeralds,
ruby, topaz, sapphires, some of which are
thousands Of years old, and are historically
interesting.
How they could trust Jewels amounting in
value to several millions of dollars in such an
apparently weakly guarded room, with no
iron doors, is a wonder to me. Itseemed that
there was nothing to prevent half a dozen
American burglars from entering in the guise
of tourists, Selling the guide and the woman
in charge and choking them into silence, and,
after having chloroformed them, break the
glass with a stick, hook out the velvet crown,
fold it up and put it into their pocket, and
then walk out composedly, like honest tourists,
and become swallowed up in the vast crowds
of London There have been hundreds Of far
more audacious robberies than that would be.

injury to congressional oratory. In the

A Session of the County Commission

Session of the County Commission
ers Devoted TO This subject.
An adjourned meeting of the county
commissioners was held last evening at the
office of the county auditor. The liquor
bond of c. Reader of the Lake fhalen
neighborhood was approved. The county
treasurer submitted his quarterly report,
showing receipts 1868, OLAF; dlsourse-
ments, S14S. ass. 90; balance on hand FeD.
81, $3.50, 094.11. 1t was resolved that the
committee on streets and bridges report at
the next meeting on the ACCESSIBILITY OF
widening the Fort street extension To
eighty-six feet or more for the full length
of the road. A.
A lengthy consideration was given the
st. Paul, Minneapolis ~ Fort Smelling
Railway company for rights to construct
lines over county roads outside the Guy
limits. The company was represented Dy
Albert Shaeffer j. j. Watson, d. L. GrlD-
hen. X. p. Kullen and William Dawson,
.Br. Resoluians were finally adopted
granting the said company right OF way
over the Fort street extension, or mat por-
ton of West Seventh street extending from
the CITY limits to the Fort Smelling bridge
over Mississippi avenue from the Fort
Smelling bridge southerly to the city llnlls
and over Smelling avenue northerly 10 Lake
Johanna. 1t is further stipulated that the
line on the Fort street extension shall DE
begun by July IS. 1886, and completed DIV
Nov. /, 1856. To hold their granted rights
over the other highways mentioned they
are required to complete their lines over
those routes by Oct. l, 1883. 1t Is pro
vided, however. that If before that
time any other company shall
make application for right OF way
over any moccupied line or
portion thereof, the company shall receive
notice thereof and if after the expiration OF
ninety DAYS the line is not occupied by the
company the failure shall be taken as al
abandonment of all rights thereto. The
company is required to file an acceptance
of the conditions given with the clerk OF
the board within thirty days, otherwise the
resolutions shall be void. The resolution:
contain several provisions protecting future
municipal rights and certain regulations re
gardng the construction and operation OF
the road, among them the prohibition d
steam power on the Fort street extension.
The company has secured its right OF wa
from the city limits across the unplatte'
flats north of Seventh street TO Ran
dolph near Victoria. From that point thu
route is unsolicited and will probably be sc
cured by condemnation. The company
very retlcent about its future plans, and
is understood that the present development
are the first steps toward comprehensive

indicated nothing further than the fact that
such an individual could be found within.
The ring was answered by young lady

the inquirer 10 ascend the stairs

Mrs. Eckhardt would be up in

five minutes when a step was heard coming
up the stairs, and the young lady retired.
