THE ART OF POPPING.
Hints as to How One Should Propose
 Marriage.

H1nts 10 How One Should Propose Marriage.
 Nothing is more deplorable than an inter- val in proposal of marriage, says a writer in the San Francisco Examiner. The matter should be gone through with speedily once your attack begins. It is an attack always. No matter how ready hearted Angela may be, there is little perfunctory hesitancy only natural to her modesty, and you must not give her the opportunity to turn the cur- rent of her wooing. Do not stop to tell her that you only take three glasses of claret with your dinner, or that you don't owe cent in the world. Information of this sort you should convey to her long before you ask the momentous question; it is relevant no doubt and may abet your effort greatly, but yet it is prosaic and out of keeping just at the moment of crisis. The more naked1y you confne yourself to declaring your love and asking her hand the better. Bear in mind always that proposal partakes of the nature of an onslaught; that matter how apt and Rilling your lady love may be she has still maidsniy sense of preservation, and you must afford her no opportunity of avoidance, but bind her most strenuously to the issue. Give her but the slightest pretext for branching off upon a side issue of controversy and you will never pin her to the point.
 At all times 8 wonan's perception of deceit is kesner than 8 mans, and it is peculiarly so when the matter under con- sideration concerns her affections. It is the charity, not the blindness, of women which makes them tolerant of 8 want of charity in men they love. You cannot cozen Angela and it is distinctly indiscreet to make the attempt. Do not try to make her believe that you are better fellow than you are. If she gives you her heart it is not because you are the noblest of men. If we were loved for our deserts only we should all die lorn bachelors; it is in spite of your defects that she loves you, and it would do you no good to trick her if you could. Tell her honestly that you are but an indifferent, honest fellow, not more than psssably clever, not too we'll furnished in worldly gear-say this by way of preface, leaving her no opportunity for other inter rup1ion than formal protest at your self depreciation-and then--then at her, my l merry man; tell her how you love her, and
 have no fear of pitching your song too high on this point; swear that you love the street she lives upon. and if you do not you are no true lover.

IF had been blazing away at him for thir- ty years without hitting him, don't know
 but what I'd try the other plan" The Pro-
 hibitionist went away sadly and hopelessly. Some men make good use of the money which they have been lucky enough or smart enough to get. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that Isaiah Williamson of that city, whose
 wealth includes an indefinite number of mil lions, means to use from three to twelve millions in founding home and industrial sehool for poor street boys. The boys,
 says the Inquirer, sare to have the benefit of 8 thorough grounding in business edu-
 cation and will be turned out thorough me-
 chanics with 8 perfect understanding of g profitable trade. The school will be goS-
 erued by board of trustees, whom MT. Will
 liamzbn, it is understood, is now selecting.
 It is known that he has been thinking over the matter for several years"
 The reason why George L. Converse, of Ohio, will not take part in the speaking cans vass of the Democratic party, in accordance with Chairman Brice's invitation, is that he disagrees with the free trade attitude of the party. In answering MT. Brice's invitation MT. Converse wrote: Is it the intention of your committee to allow on the stump ex- pressions of opinion favorable to reasonable protection of American industries and in op- position to the continuance of the internal revenue system one of the permanent sources of revenue for carrying on the gov- ernment in time of peace! If not, am at loss to see how can be useful in the can vass. If you do intend such freedom of opinion and expression, you must decide whether, under the circumstances, my efforts will be of service to the party in this particu- lar canvass.
 M. Carrots decree requiring the registra-
 tion of alien residents calls attention to the
 great increase of immigration into France in
 recent years In 1851 the foreigners settled
 in France numbered only 380, ,831. Now they number 1,126, ,531. This increase is the more remarkable when we remember that the total population of France has in the same time 35, 789, ITO to 37,930, ,759. In the Bouches du Rhone (Marseilles) there are 10000 Ital- ians, and in all of Provence and Dauphiny probably three times that number. There are nearly half million Belgians in France, 300, 900 of them swarming in the Nord, in the cities of Lille and Yalenciennes. In the southwestern departments there are about S0,00O Spaniards. There are also in France more than 100000 Germans, 37,000 Dutch, 7S, 800 Swiss, 36, ,000 English and 10000 Americans.

 From the Virginia City Enterprise.l
 In some countries 1t would seem strange for party going to see theatrical entertain ment to make dive into Mother Earth, travel four miles under the mountains, and then dart up to the surface within stone's throw of the ticket office, but it is after such & fashion that some of our people go to their regular dose of drama, comedy, and tragedy.
 Last night party of ladies and gentlemen of the town of Sutro, who wished to see "The Two Johns" at the opera house, took the sub terranear cut. Starting at the mouth of the Sutro tunnel, at their own doors, they came up the tunnel to the o. 6 o. shaft, distance of little eveffour miles. Dismounting from the cars they then boarded the cages in the shaft and were shot upward to the surface, verti> cal distance of $40 feet.
 This way of going to the theater is as much fun for our ladies as going to g picnic. It is really pleasure, but until a lady has become somewhat accustomed to life in the mines it requires little nerve. It is fine and cool the whole four miles under ground. The cars will not soil even the most delicate dresses of silk and satin, therefore there is no trouble of changing clothing. In her room at the mouth of the tunnel lady may stand before her mirror and give the finishing touch to flower or feather, and in just such shape as she turns from her glass she is shot up to the surface in this city, ready to take her seat in the box in the opera house.

"The Fair Election League" of Indiana, whose purpose is to do what 1t can in the way of preventing frauds at the coming election, is a movement in the right direc- ton. It represents men of both parties, who have been disgusted with the frauds and corruption practiced in State and na- tional elections, and they propose to employ detectives and prosecute all persons who may be apprehsnded in casting false ballots. It is to be hoped that the movement will be supported by all honest men of both parties.

INDIANAPoLls, June l4.-An effort has
been made in some quarters to prejudice
General Harrison's candidacy by claim
ing that the laboring classes were against
him, and the great strikes OF 1877 have
been referred to and misTepresented. 1t
has been charged that he was the COM
mander OF the troops called out on that
occasion, and did his utmost TO put down
the strike by force. The true history OF
those times show General Harrison in n
very creditabie light, and in one that
will make him friends instead Of enemies
among the workingmen OF the State and
Nation. The strike caused great alarm
among the people, and the then recent
events in Pittsburgh led property owners
to fear that the lawless element in this
city would try to seize on the OCCASION
70 destroy property.
The strikers had the sympathies Of
thepeople, and no one feared they would

away BY the criminal class, To protect
the city, and not to interfere directly
with the strike, except in SO far as IN
enforcement Of the laws would do so, a
committee OF safety was organized, OF
which Gen. Harrison, Judge Gresham,

MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS.
The Terrible Result of the storms In the
Northwest,

Northwest.
SUPERIOR, Wis, June 14.-Several
million feet oflogs broke loose from the
booms above Cloquet yesterday, and
came tearing down the stream to the
Island, on which several hundred peo-
pie live, doing great damage. The
buildings carried away were as follows
The American House, Everett House,
Tyndalps saloon and boarding house,
Bovey's barber shop, Wallace's flour and
feed store, McCullough's saloon, Blake's
and Smiths saloons, the Court House
and jail and the dwellings OF George
Price, Anthony Shannon, George Shat
frey, NJ. 7. McCorwin. Thirty or forty
other buildings are completely sur
rounded by water to the extent Of seven
or eight feet, and most Of them have
been abandoned. The st. Paul & Du-
luth railroad at Fondulac is under two
feet OF water and the depots and other
buildings have been abandoned and are
likely to be carried away at any time.
The yards Of the C. n. Nelson Lumber
Company, at Cloquet, are under water
TO the depth OF ten feet and tempo
rary booms have been constructed
to keep the lumber from floating
of. Communication between the
main land and the inundated island
is maintained by boats, but is becoming
dangerous. AT the falls near CloQuet
the scene is one magnificent beauty. In
twenty years so great volume OF water
has not been known, and as it washes
down over the rocks in great waves OF
foam, it forms II picture not TO be for
COTTON. Great trees are thrown into the
air and torn into shreds. No lives have
been lost as yet, but doubtless some will
be. The st. Paul 4 Duluth Railroad has
abandoned the line from Duluth TO the
Northern Pacific junction, and is run
ming trains over the Northern Pacific
Railroad via Superior. Grave fears are
felt MS to the safety OF the st. Paul &
Duluth bridge across st. Louis bay, and
large force OF men is stationed there to
prevent jam from forming. The
loss to lumbcrmen ut Coquet will be
enormous, as the logs will have to be
picked up when they reach the lake by
tugs, and it will be impossible to save
them all. The loss thus far is roughly
estimated at 100000.

How the Night Was Passed at
the POtsdam Palace.

PorsDAM, June l5.-Toward midnight
on Wednesday the Emperor became
worse. His pulse quickened and his
temperature rose to 10 degrees. The
difficulty he experienced in breathing
indicated inflammation Of the lungs.
The morning hours were awaited with
the greatest anxiety. At 3 o'clock the
Empress was informed OF the
change, and she has not left her
husbands bedside since. Doctors Mae
kenzie, Bardelebed, Wagner and Howell
exhausted their skill in trying to relieve
the patient, but in spite OF all their
efforts his strength rapidly diminished.
Toward morning the Emperor refused
to take medicine. At7o'clock the other
doctors came only to confirm the
previous diagnosis. The Emperor
became slightly more animated
about noon and asked to see his
daughter, Sophia, yesterday being her
eighteenth birthday. During the night
the Emperor remained in a kind OF a
stupor. The doctors gave him various
stimulants and camphor injections, but
the effect was only temporary.
The Emperor sometimes opens his
eyes and recognizes those around him.
A pleasant smile lights up his face when
the Empress or other members Of the
family goes to his bedside. The public
grief was especially noticeable on the
Berlin Bourse.
1:20 a. M.-The Emperor is weaker
but perfectly conscious, and mindful OF
the doings around him. 1t is expected
that the night will pass quietly.
