Drawing the Social Line on Milton.


Conversation at the afternoon teas is taking a
little wider range The literature classes, very
popular just now, have progressed as far as
Dryden, and now that Cnaucer and Spenser aad
Milton have been studied, the available fund OF
literary information and of anecdote is larger
than it was. Unfortunately for Milton. he is
out of favor with the SO called literary ladies Of
Boston. To be sure, he wrote some good things,
and had certain conceptions of poetry. but his
treatment of Mary Powell. the weak society
chit whom he unwisely married, and his soecu-
lations touching divorce. have banished him from
their good books. and blot. in their opinion his
literary fame. But they just dote on Dryden,
who married a woman of furnished fame be-
cause of her high birth. Ye gods!

Origin of m Sensational Reuort.

New YORK. Jan. 10 The reports of startling
revelations to be made soon OF undervaluations
of imports by New York firms is said by lead
ing New York merchant to be based on the fact
that certain house has been importing French
woolens with fifty yards to the piece instead of
forty five yards, as customary. The rolls were
PASSED as forty five yards, and the house was
thus enabled to sell the goods about 10 per cent.
lower than other dealers here. The house had
hitherto done but a small business, and the sud
den increase of its trade led to careful watching
by which the foregoing facts were developed.
Seventy-two cases consigned to the firm are now
held at the custom-house.

sixteen years the Arkansas Valley got
nothing, and would have remained in that
condition il it had not killed off the kick

Valley has been lately, if it will decide

If it goes to Topeka on July 25th, with
two candidates for Secretary of State, one
for lieutenant governor, another for at
torney general, and so on, it will come
home empty handed, as it did two years
