Cultivate Simplicity,

Never be withheld from entertaining from
The mistaken idea that You must follow the
example Of richer friends and neighbors,
even il it be far beyond your means and in
clination. Simplicity is never vulgar; Law
ishness usually is. Entertain according to
your circumstances, but gracefully and cor
daily, thus following the example of one of
the most admired society women of New
York, whose narrow purse permitted but the
most frugal table, and who, therefore, offered
ut her weekly lunches the two accomplish

the delicious fish hash, in the making of
which she excelled. Ann Sawyer in Good

A marvellous flash of lightning
scared PARIS out of its wits few days
ago. 1t struck somewhere about
Montmartre, and seemed to fiji! the air
with electricity An omnibus at the
entrance of the Rue Clignan-court
stopped suddenly, the horses being
dazed, and the passengers jumped
out and ran screaming in all direc-
tons. Women fell falnting on the
sidewalks, and even the dogs ran
about bowling with their tails between
their legs. Mile. Rejane, we'll
known actress, was going along the
street in a cab. She shrieked to the
driver to let her out, and when he had
done so she ran wildly into barber
shop for shelter. And nobody was
hurt after all.

A ISCONSTN MAN.

A large proportion of the Repub
lican press of Wisconsin has ex
pressed itself in favor Of the nomi.
nation of Governor Rusk for the
presidency. 1t has been known for
some months that the delegation
from Wisconsin will Give hun its
cordial support. Indeed, there are
very few Republicans IN the state
Who are not hoping for his nomlna-
ton.
Leading papers of the eastern and
New England States have repeated
~ retgu,d TO Governor Rask as an
available candidate,
4 distinguished Wisconsin man,
who is respected 10y men of both
parties, iu-a recent letter to a friend
u this clJy, spoke thus ruthfulY
and, enthusiastically OF the popular
Wisconsin governor:
like what you say about Gov,
Rusk. Nou do not overrate hun IN
the least. | have studied him care
fully aud | think him a very able
man, and very good man. lie
would not only make q very exec
lent and available candidate, but If
elected, an able President.

dispassionate man Of sound ludg-
ment.

The Result of Last Years
Drouth.

Seldom since the settlement Of
the west has so wide an extent Of
country been $50 seriously affected
by drouth as during the last half of
1887, and, as = consequence, rarely
have SO many of our western farm
ers, dairymen, and stock raisers been
"hard up" as at present The states
of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Mis-
souri, have been the chief sufferers,
and from many Of the agricultural
communities IN those states comes
the complaint of "hard times" This
Is especially true Of the coru-raising
aud dairy regions, the corn crop and
the pasturage having proved almost
general failure. The summer and
the early autumn were almost with
out rain, aud the result has been To
many farmers "a season of poorly re-
Quilted labor, and those of them who
are not so fortunate as to have in
reserve surplus Of either grain,
feed or cash, tud themselves in "a
sad plight, which they can bridge
over only by the seveiest economy
and the closest management
OF course there are exceptional
localities and districts within the
wide region indicated which, owing
To natural advantages Of Ioca ion or
| soil, escaped the worse effects Of the
/ drouth, aud these have occasion to
deem themselves peculiarly favored.
70 many of their less fortunate
ueighbOrs, il has been a season Of
virtual disaster, and to these the
winter is one of unusual hardships,
the ability to provide against which
Is rendered the more difficult be-
cause of the prevalent low prices of
such produce or live stock as they
have had to dispose of in order to
make both ends meet"
1t these unfortunate ones shall be
able to tide over the interim until
the next harvest time, il is altogetn-
er probable that there will be better
/ luck for them next time The fact
Of partial crop failure last year
will tend to comparative scarcity
and consequently 10 higher prices
before the close If the year, and it
is very seldom, If ever, that in this
western country we have two bad
crop wears in succession. We men
enlargement to those of our farmers
who are just now Gin the dumps"
There is law Of compensatlons in
nature, and it is reasonable % antic-
ipate that the iIl.fortune of the past
year will be counterbalanced by the
good fortune of this year Chicago

can stand this incessant fire, keep
his temper, and cling to the question
involved, wins the praise of his
associates and takes step higher
in their regard. But many a good
fellow has been buried under his
first speech, never to be heard from
again. Most new members are very
cautious nowadays about engaging
in debate.
There is far more rivalry for
leadership in the House than in the
Senate. The Senate is extremely
dignified and has great regard for
what Roscoe Conkling termed "Sen-
atoral courtesy" If personalities
are INDUCED in they come in such
way that the rough corners are
smoothed and rounded off so that
no otfense Is given, though the
language may be severely cutting.
Not so in the House of Representa-
tiyes. Turmoil and confusion
reign there, and the greater the din,
the more satisfaction experienced,
and the greater opportunity for
direct, personal atagonism. There
are scores Of instances every session
where bitter enemies are made, and
all growing out of this great lati-
tude given in debate.
The House Committee on Flee
tons held long session on Satur-
day and gave full hearing on the
ThGbe-Carlisle contested case. The
result was a unanimous vote Of the
Committee in favor Of the Speaker
This was expected and therefore
gives no surprise. There are six
other contested seats which will
probably be as easily settled. The
Senate committees are always nine
OF eleven, the House thirteen or
fifteen, giving majority in favor
Of the controlling parry in either
branch. The Senate is Republican,
the House Democratic, and this fact
should always be remeu bered in
thc settlement of any party ques-
tions.
In the Senate Committee room on
Public Lands there was singular
meeting last Friday, and all by acct
dent, which made il more remark
able There happened to be present
five ex Governors of Kansas, and
two ex United States Senators from
the same state. The coincidence
was the subject of a good deal Of
pleasantly, and Senators left their
seats 70 witness the unprecedented
sight.
AS the session progresses, the lac
of democratic harmony becomes
more apparent. Mr.. Mills, Of Texas,
the Chairman of the important Com
mittee Oh Ways and Means, assumes
that the responsibilities of the en-
tire Government are upon his
shoulders. He received severe
back-set on Friday, through bis
party associate, Mr.. Hatch, of Mis-
souri, much to the merriment of The
Republican side of the House. Mills
is very arrogant. Hatch is practical
and wants straight business, and
the result was that Hatch scored
several good points, much to the
discontinue of Mr. Mills. | do
not know that there is any truth in
the report that Speaker Carlisle has
already expressed his regret that he
has put Mr.. Mills at the head of this
committee, still it is thought to be a
fact.
| have good reasons for believing
that there will be no action this
session on the Postal Telegraph bill
Desirable as it may be, the people
will have TO wait for Republican
House, This is confidently expected
at the next election

CHAPTER vII-JOE ToNKYNs MEETS HIS SISTER.
II was in the m ruing of the day
which Witnessed the scene related IN
the last chapter, that Joe Tonkyns
and Sam Pichard, resplendeut IN
all the glory Of sunday clothes, rode
briskly ont Of the Point bound for
GaIena. Riding up through the
timber they reached the high ridge
road and turning south rode along,
spectators of the glorious autumual
scene spread out ON either hand To
the south west, blue IN the distance,
doomed The three si,terly mounds
which served as landmarks 10 the
adyenlurers of that early day; and
stretching III uudulatlug beauty, rich
with the varied uues of autumn, the
prImeval forest spauued The horizon.
Here and there, however, II was
broken 10y the precipltous cliff, Of
the narrow valleys, which lent a zest
To the otherwise uniform landscape.
Nevertheless, though the scenery
could not we'll be surpassed, we
doubt much that either Joe or sam
gave 10 more than passing thought.
The conception Of landscape beauty
Is with most people a negative quail
Ivy. The spirit IS iusenSibly etne-
raHzed, and a sense of gladness
comes 90 the heart in its presence;
but seldom do we dwell on 1t, but
