About one hundred tiles to be used
as railroad culverts have been unloaded
at Wa-Keeney. We are told that they are
to be used on the railroad which is being
built east and west through the tier of
counties to the north of this. It would
be well if thing were used along this
railroad. Take. for instance, the good.
sized bridge short distance east of our
depo. By the use of one diameter of this
thing, the trestle work could be dispensed
with. The space now occupied by the
trestle work could be filled with dirt, and
there would not then be one chance for
fire where now there are one hundred
chances. II this proposition is true a. to
this particular place, it is equally true Of
the thousand and one other bundles q
trestle work along the route.

CYRUS Field and His Daughter.

Mr. Field was seated in big chair In
| down town Office. He was cool and self pos
| sessed He talked on all sorts of subjects.
| His quick, nervous eye was riveted upon his
| desk. Before him lay an open telegram.
! Every few minutes he would pick 1t up and
read it. Then his face Frightened. A smile
| PLAYED about the corners OF his mouth He
! seemed as merry as sunbeam. "Ah! that is
| better than check for a million, sir" he
| said. "Read that Read what it says. Give
! it to me and I'll read it. Never mind-I
| know it by heart. Isn't it good newss It's
| the best thing Eve heard in month" With
| this he tossed the telegram across the table.
| 1t was from his family physician, and read;
| 'sYour daughter is very much better. She is
| improving very fast. She sends you her
| love-"
And then | remembered that his daughter,
| his favorite child, is an invalid and has been
| such for years, and her father is more
wrapped up IN her than all else. He has taken
her all over the world, to the best physicians
in Europe and America, and has spent for
tune in trying to get her health restored. He
has been like an elder brother to her, and has
lavisbed time and attention upon her to the
exclusion Of all else Many big financial
away to his daughters sick room, where he
often acted as nurse well as companion
It has been his habit to spend most of his
leisure time in his daughters company. Eo
would read to her, gossip with her, tell
her the news of the day, and was withal so
cheerful in her presence that in her moments
of greatest pain she would cry out for her
father.
''Sit near me, father, Pm very sick" she
would say to him; "but l shall be better
soon You are always so cheerful and so
hopeful that you do me more good than
drugs"
Time and again Mr. Field a man of blood
and iron, giant in finance a Gibraltar in
determination, has sunk down disheartened
in his Office chair and buried his face in his
hands, sobbng like babe because Of the bad
reports Of his daughters health. On the very
day of the late panic he walked up and down
his office floor wringing his hands in frenzy
of grief. The news that day from his daugh-
ter was unfavorable, end be was afraid that
he might not see her alive again. His mill
ions were slipping through his fingers, but be
gave his orders to his brokers quietly and
would then resume his pacing TO and fro.
This child has been the apple OF his eye.-Nev

A Marvellous Cure.

DEAR SIRs:-I wish to add my name to
YOUR list of testimonials. For several
years have suffered with sore on my neck
Just above the breast bone. 1t gave me
but little pain and Inconvenience until it
began to eat deep into my throat, and
alarmed myself and family so that 1 ap-
piled to the best medical aid in our city
for relief My physician said it was can
Ger of the most malignant nature, and af-
ter few months treatment OF burning
with caustics and other severe remedies
my physicians gave me up as incurable. l
was living at La Harpe. H., and friend
who knew you advised me to go to you
which l did. AT that time the cancer had
eaten through to my windpipe, so that it
could be seen as it was, as white and APP
parently as smooth as finger-nail.
You told me that it was difficult case,
and that you thought by care
full treatment you could save my
life, which was a great relief to
myself and family. However, had but
little hope of being cured by you or anyone
else, but contrary TO my expectation and
all who knew my case, your treatment
effected cure in three months time. l
am a living witness for you, and would
freely communicate with any person suf-
fering with cancer and tell them all
know about your treatment for cancer. l
am living at this time at Peoria, Ill.

A Curious Social Phenomenon.

When the western man goes east be car
ries the consciousness Of playing great
part in the making of an empire; his hori-
zon is large; but he finds himself sur
rounded by an atmosphere Of indifference
or non-comprehension Of the prodigious-
ness OF his country, Of incredulity as to
the refinement and luxury OF his civiliza-
ton; and selfasser.ioa is his natural de-
Tense. This longitudinal increduuty and
swaCger is curious phenomenon. Lon
don thinks New York puts on airs, New
York complains of Chicago's want OF
modesty, Chicago can see that Kansas

ful, and these cities acknowledge the ex-
pansive self-appreciation Of Denver and

THE MAIN OBJECT.
As the main object of the institution is to
provide the mute with a means of obtaining
a livelihood, q system Of manual training is
carried on hand in hand with mental devel-
op!nent When each male Or female pupil ar
rives at the age of Is years unless physically
incapacitated) be or she is assigned to some
form of employment, at which three hours
are spent each day.
A practical printing Office under the direct
ion Of u mute foreman is in full operation
there and turns out work equal TO that of the
general run of job offices. 1t does all the
printing for the institution, including the an
nual report, and last year it took il 81 ,4lS fer
custom work. A newspaper is also printed
there which is edited by q mute who possesses
all the instincts of q modern journalist.
In the carpenter shop the boys are taught
that trade in all its branches. They do al

fine specimens in cabinet work All the
shoes distributed TO the inmates by the i'll
stitution are made by tho boys il the shoe
shop, where they are taught all the details OF
practical shoemaking.
Those whose inclination3 run in that direc-
ton are afforded every facility in the tailor

mems garments, and the shop last year
turned out s2,013. II worth of clothing A
large farm is also connected with the institu-
ton. There those boys agricuiturally in
clIned can put their inclinations to practical
use. For the employment of the girls there
is a seanstresS' room, where almost every
article OF female apparel is made, and large
amount of mending is done, and alterations
il garments are made.
Every effort is made to inculcate good
manners, refinement and good taste In
furtherance Of this an art department is con-
rccted with the institution. In it each pupil
receives every week lesson in drawing from

talent therefor are given special instruction

There was always sort of personal barrier
between them Grant respected profoundly
the services Stanton had rendered the coun-
try, and l doubt not the sentiment was recip-
rocated But Stanton was harsh and austere
in manner, and apparently cared little for
the feelings of Others. He doubtless had his
affections and intimacies, but Grant was
included in neither; and at times the harsh
ness was extended even 10 him, probably
without intent, perhaps unconsciously. But
Grant was in reality one of the most sensitive
OF men He regarded the feelings Of others
carefully, and it was always painful TO him
70 Intilct pain. Although few supposed so,
he felt scutely all the censures and attacks,
and even the sights Of which he was the OBJ

ceived them, but there was abundant EVIL
dence, which those who were With him closely
could deiect, tha; Grant was thin skinned
