Lord Sackville Vests letter

Lord Sackville Vests letter
is SO English you know.
When an administration
courts Great Britain and antago-
nizes the Western sheep, the sheep
will take revenge by knocking that
administration out the first op-
portunity.
Mr.. Mills claims that his
tariff bill, by putting certain ar
ticles on the free list, makes the
small reduction Of only 5 per cent.
Now let us see how this reduction
works. The salary of the Presi-
dent is $4,000; the salary of Mr..
Mills is $4,000; the combined
salaries amount to $4,000. Now
take away Mr.. Mills salary and it
would reduce the combined salar-
les only 9 per cent, but it would
ruin Mr.. Mills, and it is just in
this light that the lead, zinc, iron
and sheep men Of Missouri are
viewing the Mills bill.
Maj. S. G. Brock our can
didate for Congress is now closing
the most vigorous, able and sue
cessful canvass ever conducted in
this district. He has spoken at
thirty places that had never had a
Republican speech, and at fifteen
other places where a Republican
speech had not been made for the
past ten years. The canvass has
been thorough one, and the effec-
tive work done by the Major for
the Republican party can only be
estimated and properly appreciat-
ed when the peoples verdict Nov.

those who talk at random, and are
sometimes troubled with an effer-

forcibly reminded of this last
Thursday night, W Ell tne Demo-
cratic speaker, who had neglected
to keep himself posted, asserted
that President Cleveland had
jerked the British lions tail out
by the roots and was using it to
whip the Republican Senate into
submission. The speaker did not

Minister had recovered the lion S

The speech of Judge Hen
ry Friday night was great sur
prise to the Democrats. One
of them was heard to say that
he was never SO surprised in his
life. He told his audience that
the Republican party had given
this country the best financial sys-
tenn eyer known, and branded the
Missouri congressman as towards
for not daring to vote their con-
victions. His only argument in favor
of free trade was that Germany
had protective tariff and wages
are lower in Germany than in

Dream o,

The phenomena of dreams is subject
upon which much philosophical specula-
ton has been wasted. While many
theories have been advanced, no satisfac-
tory conclusion has been arrived at as to
the causes which imprint mental i'm
preston on the brain of the sleeper, of
events transpiring unknown to him. or
stranger still. which often seem to project
q mental photograph of future occur
rences. Instances of this kind will
doubtless occur to many of our readers.
A paper in neighboring town relates
that farmer boy of that town, one morn
ing recently, before he went out of the
house, told his father that he had dreamed
that the straw stack had fallen over and
killed five sheep. Upon going out to do
the chores, it was discovered sure enough
that the stack had gone over and upon
investigation five sheep were found under
it, only one of the number, however,
being dead.

No Time to be Lost.

The Peoria Journal says that the board
of trade of that city will be requested to
send to Washington zone of its repre-
sentative members to aid in securing the
passage of the Illinois river improvement
measure. 1t is hoped and believed that
the board will respond with alacrity.
Judge Pendergrast, of Chicago, is chair
man of the committee, and it is thorough
ly understood between him and the senior
Illinois senator that the river measure
will be discussed in committee session
some time this month" The new tri-
city Hennepin canal organization should
be doing something in conformity with
its purposes between this and the time

A Third avenue train, bound for city hall,
reached Fifty ninth street at 10 o'clock, and
was crowded. A man who had kept his eye
on the first car managed TO squeeze himself
in there. In one of the cross seats were two
young women, and opposite them were a
bundle and young man. The young women
were engrossed in each others conversation,
which seemed to consist almost entirely of
"Says he to me-" Then, says l to him."
"He wrote me, so he did" and so on.
The man approached and said, somewhat
grufily, 81 want to sit down"
The young man, who was sitting upon the
outer end, closed in his legs to let him pass.
81 want to sit down there he said, with
an emphasis on "there" as he pointed whero
the bundle rested. He spoke more gruiIly
this time, and in louder tone.
The young man smiled and continued read
ing.
"Wel," roared the now thoroughly in
furiated man, 81 paid for my scat and Ill
see you to the deuce before you can keep two
seats for one faren Then he took the bundle
and pitched it upon the floor. The young
man again smiled, while the young women
suddenly ceased their "Said | to him" and
Essays he to mo- One of them reached for
the bundle which was hers, and said to the
man, loudly enough for everybody to hear:
"Nou dirty, naughty, mean man.
The man was overwhelmed with confusion
and was apologi2ing to all three, when a
fellow passenger who had been sitting with
his back to him stood up and cursed him.
"Do you want to gaze at the stars" said he,
''or probably you have Il rush of blood to the
head. Anyhow, lean Off. Give my back
show
There had been no triangular pieccof wood
to keep their backs apart Tho man forgot
his apology, and turned around to confront
his now antagonist Fragments of the two
would soon have been strcwn about had not
the other passengers interfered. Then the
bunderer rushed to the door as the train
slowed up.
"No, replied the guard shaking his head;
"this is Forty-scvcnth.n
Before the blunderer could resume his scat
the train started and he was flung to the
floor, crushing his hat and hurting his lip as
he fell As the train reached Twcnty-third
street there was n great rush. The blundercr
was leaning ON his cane. When the train
again started the blunderer wasn't leaning on
his cane but lie was leisurely examining the
two halves of it.

There's MOneyInIt.

There is fat bonanza for the enter
prising livery man, who introduces reg
ular bus over the ice between the two
cities. Running between Second avenue
and Nineteenth street in this city, and
Brady and Second streets in Davenport,
at regular specified times, with a fixed
rate of ten cents per head, such convey
ance would find abundance of patronage
= in fact all that it could do. The pres
ent hackmen charge twenty Ave cents for
single trip-and more if the passenger
is not too sharp for them and makes his
price before starting. Aside from the
imposition which the public suffers at the
hands of these hackmen, they are not to
be depended upon; there are none about
when most wanted. Yesterday from 10
in the morning until noon, there was not
a hackman on the streets of either DAYS
export or Rock Island, and many people
were compelled either to walk or await
the convenience of the hacknan. The van
suggested would be great benefit, both
to the public and the person managing
it. 1t is, to say the least, public dis
grace that cities the size of Rock Island
and Davenport should be at the mercy of
interruptions street hackmen in the mat
ter of getting across the river. The pro-
posed bridge railway is the only real
remedy for the evil, but until that public
convenience is provided, let US have the
next best thing-the bus.

WINDOW DRESSING.
The Art of Making Attractive Dis
pIAys--What Is Required OF a Person
Who Does IL Successfully.

"A thorough knowledge of the cause

greatest principle essential to a success

the scribe, in regard to the requirements
of attractive window dressing. mo

make an attractive and snowy display
who does not perfectly understand that
art, and it is an art as much as with a
dressmaker. Then man must have a
good mechanical eye to gauge the effect
to be produced from a distance, as well
as close inspection of his work. Fix
lures are, of course, a necessity, which
greatly assists a window dresser, but a
man who understands his business thor
oughly can dress window with good
effect with the most simple resting
pieces for anything he has to display.
Draping is another thing to be studied
by trimmer, and he has to understand
the grouping of bodies as much as the
blending of colors."
ut is very difficult to find amongst the
great number of statesmen in retail
store an assistant able to carry out some
trivial details of our work that we cannot
always get the time to do ourselves.
Many a first class salesman in silks and
dress goods has not the least idea of ar"
tistic arrangement when called upon to
do something of the kind. Our windows
are changed once a week, and sometimes
oftener and there is not a salesman who
sells more goods than our windows dis>
play. 1t may seem strange TO say that
nationality has a great deal TO do with
the taste in window trimmers. but such is
the fact. Amongst the English, Irish,
and Scotch firstcass trimmers are numer
Gus, but the French excel them all.
Their refinement and taste are excellently
shown in the artistic draperies of their
novelties and originality of their designs,
in which they are without rivals. 1t is
great feature of any business to make
good window display, and to have nice,
clean, attractive front, and all enterpris
ing merchants should use it to its fullest
capacity"
"Orig:nslity in design is the feature par
excellence in window dressing. That can
be done by making special forms to at
tach goods to and using some striking
features in arranging details. Another
thing you must bear in mind is that it
takes years of observation and practice
before anyone can dare to be able to dress
large window alone and consider them
selves capable of doing all kinds of work,
such as modern, progressive dry goods
house constantly requires.

Man is an abode of three chambers. There
is the outer hall, where casual callers are re-
ceived; there is the inner reception room,
where friends are welcomed and pass hours
in familiar intercourse; there is the secret
innermost department, where no foot, how
ever near and dear, may ever tread, when
the man sits with his own soul None else
may know its angles, its recesses, how it is
furnished, whether it Is well appointed or
squalid, whether it is bright or gloomy,
whether it is garish or modest. Yet there
are moments when the curtain before the
door seems lifted for an instant, and the eye
of a friend may see, or fancy it sees, some
thing of the sacred solitude.-Frederick Ha2-
