WASHINGTON WISDOM.
From the Pen of John Smith
Early Devils Lake.

Special Correspondence of tho IS1xs.OcIAx.i
WAsnISGToS, Oct. 2i.-Tho principal
item of interest llst now, is tho social
problem, Did the president do right in
making his visit to Kichmend without
Mrs. Cleveland? They do say that bc-
cause Jefferson Davis daughter was there
Mr.. Cleveland would not allow his wife
to go. This matter has been discussed
for nearly Il week now, and everybody j.
seems to think that Cleveland did right
1t would not have been pretty spectacle
to have seen the president and his wife
received socially in Richmond by Gen.
Lee and the daughter of Jefferson Davis.
AS it was the visit was merely an official
call upon the governor of Virginia. by
the president. That is all we can say Of
it. Grover did right
When you turn up the lamp and read
this family journal in the evening just
remind yourself of the fact that there is
to be an election next week. Your vote
will have considerable to do with the ad-
mission and division of the territory.
Neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic candidate for congress is in favor
Of admission as a whole. The Demo-
cratic candidate is in favor Of leaving the
entire matter to vote OF the people.
Your vote will have no influence upon
national affairs until you arc permitted
to have statehood. Therefore, you will
be wise to vote as you think best on this
question concerning Dakota's welfare,
without regard to your opinion ON ma
tiOnal politics. These are words of wis
dom.
4nc st. Paul Globe gives an interesting
account of early Devils Lake with its
Crcel battles. It also tackles Creel with
pair of ungloved biceps and wallows
him all over the prairie. The Washing
ton correspondent of that paper seems tn
know something of Dakota and Dakota
people.
1t is about time for me to take whack
at prophecy again In the election next
week Clifford will not repeat his s.. 900
majority of -. He will come nearer to
%, 900 than 30, 900 majority. This will be
majority enough, the Lord knows. Bv
being so greatly reduced it will give Dav
big boom with the administration. II
will prove his popularity with his party,
and the Democratic heads of our execu-
tive departments will have to listen to his
recommendations and do as he desires.
. In this connection you may as we'll know
that Day and Clifford spit through the
same quill. Clifford can get anything he
wants if Day has the power to give it to
him. Day is good enough Republican
fOrme. His hest friends are Republicans.

EARLY BEAUTY.

The rays of the rising sun this
morning found party of eager ex.
pectants on the crest of Kennesaw, al
they filtered through the branches Of
the surrounding trees. Calmly and
majestically it rose phenix-like in
majesty and sublime in calmness,
seeming aware of the feasting senses
set upon it. 1t was a mid-ocean
scene from a stationary ship of land,
as the lowering mists spread out ex-
panslyeiy into a CLASSY plane of eye
deceit. All stood transfxed as the
fiery-red slowly dissipated into noon
day glory. Changes so marked and
agreeable would have drawn ecstasy
from the most matter of fact and
evoked from the atheist a sigh Of
doubt as the work of the Creator sui
fused and drenched his narrow facul-
ties. TO the child of nature, it was
a sight to be engraven on the tablet Of
memory, undisturbed by future war
fare OF senses; universal verdict Of
"Glaria in Egoelsiis" arose; the eradi-
cater too of all blindness and the
opener of all avenues of thought.
AS the last of these ideas had melt
ed away in the recesses of the soul,
attention was Immediately arrested
and shocked with the Juvenile utter.
anoe, "What makes more fuss under
a fence than pig" and as the an
swer came "Two pigs" smiles were
visible. We then branched off on
the legend of the mountain. The
heat soon expressed its intention of
driving us from our retreat and We
consequently drove. VALE.

COUNTERFEIT GOLD DIST.

The Chinese have always been the
most successful manufacturers Of
counterfeit gold dust. Many lot of
brass or iron filings, plated with
gold, has been sold by them to un-
suspecting buyers. OF late years
this has been less practiced, however.
because of the fact that BUYERS al
most invariably test the dust with
acid or burn it. By subjecting it to
an intense heat the gold is not affec-
ted, but any other metal that may be
mingled with it is soon dissipated in
vapor. A buyer was once purchas-
ing some dust from company of
Chinese miners. His balance scales
We're on an open counter before them.
Suddenly he noticed that one of the
Cinnamon had slyly touched the bal
ance in which the dust was to be
weighed. Quickly looking under
the bottom of it he found some OBJ
ject sticking to it, which proved to
be sticky substance like beeswax.
1t weighed half an ounce. The willy
Cinnamon had intended, of course.
after the dust was weighed to remove
the wax as deity as he had put it on.
Marks on the bottom of the balance
revealed the fact that this trick had
often been successful. Thus this
and perhaps others, had
gained half an ounce on the buyer
every time they sold him lot of
dust. This trick and others of a SIM
liar character afterward led almost
all buyers to put their balance scales
in glass cases instead of having them
open on the counter.

A CURIOUS STORY.

A curious story comes from Mos
COW. A clever and beautiful girl had
an immense fortune left her to be
paid into her hands on the occasion
Of her marriage. Her friends tried
to oblige her to marry a man whom
she could not endure, and she had
no money to take herself out of reach
of his attentions. So she sent for an
old beggar man, to whom she had oc-
casionally given few cents, and Of
fered him 300 roubles if he would
stand up for the marriage ceremony
with her and straightway leave the
town and never lat her hear of him
again till news should be sent Of his
death. He consented very cheerful
ly and the marriage took place, all
the beggars of Moscow coming to see
the strange pair welded. In a few
years the girl, who is only ~ now,
will doubtless be legally a widow
with the right to give her hand to
the obscure lover for whose sake she
went through the extraordinary cere-
mony. In the meantime she is rich
and free from sultors,

WHAT ANARCHY Is.

Talmage says if the people of this
nation or any nation, could only I'M
derstand what anarchy is they would
crush out its life instantaneously.
Anarchy is abolition of right of
property. 1t makes your store and
house and your money and family
mine, and mine yours. 1t is whole
sale robbery, It ia every mans hand
against every other man. 1t is ar
son and murder and lust and death
triumphant. 1t means no law, no
church, no rights, no happiness, no
God. 1t means hell let loose on
earth, and society a combination OF
devils incaFnate, 1t means extermi-
nation of everything good and the
creation of everything infamous"

SADLY LEFT.
From the Jefferson ga Herald.

| From the Jefferson (Ga Herald
A man who lived in and around
Jefferson during the most of last year
invaded the precincts of our town on
last Saturday evening and whispered
around to number of the boys that
he had wagon loaded with "moun-
tain dew" a short distance out of
town, and that he would furnish them
with what they wanted at 81 per gal
Ion. The price being exceedingly
low, and the opportunity so very good,
they were not long in deciding to
patronize their friend. According
ly, not long after dark, there was a
crowd Of some twelve or fifteen left
town-some afoot, some on horseback
and others in buggies-led by their
accommodating, self-sacrifcing friend,
and ever and anon to encourage them
in their tiresome and muddy march
through the dark, he would whisk
from his pocket bottle of the spark
ling mountain dew" allowing each
to take pull therefrom, telling them
this is sample of that which | have
for you just ahead" and again lead
ing off towards the rising sun, assur-
ing them that it was but short dis
lance before the goal would be reach
ed. Arriving at a point on the Dan
ielsyiile road about two and a half
miles from town he suddenly defects
to the right, and takes a settlement
by-way, conducting them out into a
dense and tangled forest some consid-
cradle distance from the road, and,
after carefully noting the surround
ings, he stops and announces that
this is the place. Seating himself
on the ground, he tells them to count
out their money and he would take
their bottles, jugs, etc., and have
them filled and be back in little
while. After the money was counted
out and change made, it was sugges-
ted that perhaps it would be well for
some one Of the party to go with him,
to which he objected, stating that
the wagon belonged TO his uncle, and
that he did not want any one but
himself to know where it was con-
cealed, and consequently, with his
load of bottles, jugs and money, he
leaves, promising to return in few
minutes. The few minutes passed
and heightened into hours, and yet
he came not, and the band of anxious
and expectant watchers were unre-
waFded tor their tireless vigil. At
last the morning dawned and the
king of day began his ascent up the
eastern sky and found them still at
their post, but growing discouraged
and restless. From this time they
began to break off one at time, and
returned to their respective homes.
This reminds US of snipe hunt
during the war. We guess these par
ties will be more careful in the future
about what kind of bait they bite at.
From reports they were fleeced of
about $50.

CYCLONES.

What shall be done about the cy-
clones is becoming a serious ques-
ton in our Western territory. A
recent writer says that the only
means of which we eau conceive with
in human power for the prevention,
or at best the rendering less frequent,
of cyclnoes, is in the covering of the
face of the country as much as posi-
BILE with trees and verdue. Let there
be ascending moisture instead of as
cending currents of heated air. In
the great timbered valleys of the
Amason cyclones are unknownl yet
when We look at the formation of the
land, it is probably one of the most
monotonously level regions on the
face of the earth. Take away the
forests and verdue, and leave this re-
gian vast desert plain, and it would
no doubt at once become very play
ground of cyclones.

A NOVEL CHURNER,

A lady living in Danbury, Conn,
lett a bowl Of milk standing on the
pantry shelf. Out came a mouse
and spied a cool drink of the deli
cious beverage. Unfortunately for
the little feaster it fell into the flow
ing bowl. Now, to die from the flow
ing bowl the mouse felt would be a
great disgrace. But the question
was to sink or swim. The mouse i'm
nediately put on it's thinking cap
and began to churn the milk by
swimming back and forth. In a
a couple of minutes the butter came,
and the smart mouse stood upon it
and jumped out upon the shelf, but
with quantities of the butter sticking
to its paws, for she tracked it all
about the clean pantry. This mouse
story of churning butter, which is a
true one, is great witness in favor
Of the honesty of the milkmea, for
had it been as poor in quality as some
milk the mouse would have drowned

STRONGER PROTECTS THE WEAK.

A few days ago a gentleman driv-
ing near Monticello, N. Y, past a
small pond, noticed an unusual com
motion among large number of
swallows which were flying over the
water in all directions and uttering
their CRY when danger is near. In a
few moments Il large black crow came
flying along, and his presence seemed
to quiet in measure the fears of the
other birds. lie made a grand swoop
down to the pool, and on rising had
large water snake in his bill. The
snake had a swallow by the leg in it's
mouth, but in turning to free itself
from the black antagonist the swal-
low escaped and the crow flew away
with its prey, proving that the strong
er often protects the weaker in the
bird kingdom.
