Coming Together.
New YORK, November 11th-A Wash
ington special to the Nail and Express
(Rep.) says Virglnias electoral vote is
likely to be the object of legal struggle
The Democrats Claim the State by 1855
and the Republicans by 1900. The Repub-

secured to obtain a fair count.
The Republicans carried five Congress
sional districts and three are likely to form

fore the next Congress.

straining the State from issuing certificates

Congress where the frauds are charged to
have been committed.

New YoRK, November 11th.-The Press
has asked large number of persons why
Cleveland was defeated. George w. Curtis.
the chief Mugwump, answers: " I think
the result was due chiefly to the presenta-
ton of the single issue which the Presi-
dents party accepted, but did not desire,
which was new and unexpected to the
country. Much is due also to disappoint-
ment with the Presidents administration

Indian Women Bought or Stolen by the

New YORK, November 1fth.-Mrs. Voor-
hees, well-known lady of this city, who
recently returned from an extended tour
thorough the great Northwest, says 1.-The
conditirn of the Indian women in Alaska
Is awful. In all that country there is no
law, and there can be no restraint upon the
lowest animal passions of the rough
miners, trappers, hunters, soldiers and
sailors, whose rage is unchecked. The Indian
women are considered the lawful spoil of
these men. They steal them if they can
not buy them from their parents for a

THE DREADFUL STORIES
She told me of the barbarous condition OF
that neighborhood. 1t is really unspeak-
able. Some of the criminal practices pre-
vailing came within my own observation.
We were at juneau on the 4th of July. a
celebration was arranged. 1t was intended
as patriotic demonstration on the part of
the whites. There was an Indian dance,
and then ensued scene beyond descrip-
ton. No beastly orgie ever conceived could
surpass it. You could not print the
story. The squaws are as much given to
liquor as the males, so white man seek
ing little maiden brings enough drink for
the father and mother, and when both sue
cumb to its influence there is nothing more
to stay the destroyer of the child The
poor, shrieking little victims are then
dragged off to their fate, and there is no
power to succor them."

THE FOURTEEN MISTAKES OF
LIFE.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion hat there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say, if they told the
truth, that there was no limit to the
mistakes of life; that they were like
the drops in the ocean or the sands on
the shore in number; but it is we'll to
be accurate. Here, then, are fourteen
great mistakes: It is a great mistake
to set up our own standard Of right
and wrong, and judge people accord
ingly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by our own; to expect uni
formity opinion in this world to look
for judgement and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould all dispo-
sitions alike; not to yield to imma-
terial triaes; to loook for perfection in
our actions; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied;
not to alleviate all that needs a~llevia-
ton as far as lies in our power;
not to make allowances for the in
frmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds a grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything. The great
est of mistakes is to live for time
alone, which any moment may launch
US into eternity Vices and Dough-
tiers.

paper to remove paint and oil from a
floor or a table.--Stop up the rat
holes in the wall with plaster of Paris
mixed with broken glass.-The
marks on -four sacks can be obliterated
by using kerosene before they are put
in the wash-water.--When you take
down the stove-pipe carefully mark
with calk or lead pencil the parts that

wash in hot s~oap-suds, dip a dam
pened cloth in fine sifted coal ashes,
then polish with dry ashes.--When
the rhubarb is just in the right con-
dition for use, can some of it just as
you would other fruit. Cut it in
pieces, of course.-Full cream cheese
contains one and fve-eights times as
much nutrition as ordinary beef does.
Some COWS are born for cheese,
others for butter. Find out what
yours are for.-Try a rubber band
around the teats when a COW leaks her
milk, or milk her three times a day.
The way to pay off a mortgage is
to get a good breeding mare and raise
draft horses. Sow a field with millet
and cut it when in blossom to provide
the winter keep. Sell the colts when
three, coming four, and sell one every
year.-If the ewes have nothing but
corn they will lack milk and be fever

WHAT A VASSAR GIRL DID.

A Vassar girl tells, in the New
York Morning Journal, of the curious
ways in which some of the poorer
students at that institution earn their
pocket money. "Some of the girls
who come up to Vassar," she says,
care as helpless as babes. They are
the daughters of millionaires, and
never brushed their own hair or sewed
a button on their boots in their lives.
They r only too glad to have some
one do those things for them, and that
is how the poorer girls make pocket
money. Last year a pretty blue-eyed
girl anne to college, and stated during
the first week that her tuition and
board were paid by a kind relative,
but every penny for dress, car fare
and the thousand and one little Incl
dentals, she must earn herself"
Soon after her arrival the following
announcement appeared IN her door.
Gloves and shoes neatly mended for
10 cents each.
Breakfast brought up for ten cents.
Hair brushed each night for 25
cents a week.
Beds made up for 10 cents a week.
"That little freshman made just
$3.50 the first year." continues the &C
count, "and that paid all of her ex-
penses and a good part of her tuition
fees"

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

A word on plant culture-don't over
water.
Vegetables are best stored in a room by
themselves.
Never pat and smooth down mashed
potato, as it makes it heavy.
The incest thing to scour knives, brass,
tinware, etc., is sifted hard-coal ashes.
Sweet milk or cream is excellent for
sunburns or chappedfeet on the little boys.
A storeroom should be we'll ventilated,
and so arranged that it will not freeze in
winter.
Butter, lard and drippings should he
stored in jars and kept in the coolest and
dryest place.
To retain the fresh appearance of oil
cloths use milk and water, lukewarm, in
cleaning them.
When potatoes are to go into stews or
chowders they should be first sliced,
soaked and scalded.
Flour should be bought by the barrel,
but Indian meal is so apt to become in
tested with weevils that it should not re-
main much over a week on hand.
If milk which has been set for some
time and upon which the cream has partly
risen is stirred, the cream never again
rises fully, and there is a considerable loss
of butter from it.
The water in which potatoes are boil
ing should be sailed and drained off from
them the moment they are cooked
through. If this is not done the potatoes
absorb the water and become soggY.
The best use for coal ashes is to make
paths and roads. A good coating of them
upon a path, with a little soil thrown
upon the surface to help solidify them,
soon becomes a walk equl to asphalt, and
very pleasant to walk upon.
Ringworms often come on the healthy
skin without any apparent cause or pro
VOCATION" are very stubborn, and will
yield to but few remedies! but borax will
effectually cure them. Wash with a strong
solution three times a day, and dust over

BAD PRAYERS.

lido not like to hear him pray
On Bonded knee about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no -four.
I'd rather see him 60 to mill
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill
And laugh beneath their humble shed.
/ do not like to hear him pray,
LET blessings on the widow be-"
Who never seeks her home, to say,
"If want o'ertake you, come to me-"
l hate the prayer so loud and long
That's offered for the orphans veal,
BY him who sees him crushed by wrong,
And only with his lips doth feel.
/ do not like to hear her pray
With jeweled ear and silken dress,
Whose washerwoman tolls all day,
And then is asked to work for less.
Such pious shavers I despise;
With folded hands and face demure,
They lift to heaven their "angel eyes,"
And steal the earnings of the poor.
I do not like such ~soulless prayers
If wrong, I hope to be forgiven,
No angel wing them upward bears !;
They're lost a million miles from heaven.
