in his finger and thumb, grasped from
our nose the gold trimmed, diamond
hinged and ruby handled eye glasses we
always wear when grinding out par
ticularly brilliant editorial on the Ia
mentable condition Of anything in gen.
eral and nothing in particular, and
rubbed the powder over the glasses, re-
placed them upon our Queen Anne nose
and told us to gaze through them upon
what we had just written. The i'm
provement was simply startling; the
magic powder made the ''speos' as clear
as Montana air, and the glasses shone
with almost equal brilliancy with the
precious gems in which they are set.
We voted this polishing article thor
oughbred article, and the agent regu-
lar Clydesdale particularly after he sat
before us whole box of this wonderful
cleaner of glass or brass, or anything
else, and asked that we accept of it with
his compliments. He said he had the
contract to shine up everything at Fort
Keogh, from the buttons and braid on
the soldiers and officers uniforms up to
the brass cannon, and would put shine
on the citizens of this town (between
drinks) with his wonderful brown dust.
He forgot to tell us his name, but said
he was incubated at st. Louis, had been
out around the ragged edge of ciyiliza-
ton for the last seven years, had in the
time worked in the mines, punched COWS,
edited newspaper, run saloon, been
tramp, worked on the section, cooked
for explorers, been o dude, and has rus
tied for grub. This powder business,
however, he insisted was the cleanest
thing he had rounded up in the seven
years, and he was going to push the
business until he got money enough to
get him some clothes and pay his way
back to Deadwood, where he would
'sshake' the dust business and resume
his old darling "profesh'' of being a
leading a pug" along the Dead
wood boulevard and chewing the end Of
ten-cent cane, you know. AS is neces-
sary and becoming in a good agent, this
all-around frontier rustler was blessed
with startling hemorrhage of the
mouth--he could talk both hands off a
clock in five minutes. Miles City Stock

scully Must Go.

Landlord Scully, the Englishman who
owns thousands of acres of land in Iii
nois, and who has practiced the most APP
proved landlord methods in his endeavors
to exact the uttermost farthing from his
unfortunate tenants, must go.
The last Illinois Legislature passed a
law to the effect that an alien owning
land in the state must either become a
citizen or sell his land in six years.
Scully scorns the glorious privilege Of
becoming an American citizen, and has
accordingly begun to sell out. The ten
ants who have unfortunately known him
will rejoice to know him no more.
Alien landholders who seek to engraft
European landlordism upon this country
should have no place here.
1t should be made too hot for them,
and the Illinois method OF doing it is
probably as good as any. Every other
Legislature in the country should pass O
similar measure. We welcome reputa-
BILE foreigners to America when they
come with the intention of becoming
citizens, but when their object is simply
to introduce the methods of their dis
reputable aristocracy we don't want them
at any price.
There isn't so much land in this coun,
try, despite the declaration that Unclt
Sam has farm for every one, that for.
eigners may be permitted to gobble uT
thousands Of acres Of it. The departure
Of Landlord Scully should be followed
by that Of every one Of his class yet re-
manning in the country. st. Pau.

More Dynamite.

Inspector Bonfeld, Of Chicago, has
unearthed another malignant anarchist.
Twelve dynamite bombs, together with
revolver and knife, were found yes
terday in small frame house near the
corner Of Ashland avenue and Thirty
third street. The owner of this vaIua-
bic personal property was Swallowed, and
when he made his appearance on the
sidewalk, in the peculiar phraseology Of
the modern Hawkshaw, he was ''pinched''
by the inspector. The anarchistic ele-
ment OF Chicago has an undying hatred
for Inspector John Bonfeld and his
brother James. Both of these men
have achieved regulations in their pro-
fessional lines unequaled by even Vidocq
or Jonathan Wilde. By the prompt
action Of Inspector Bonfeld it is quito
likely that not only his own but the
lives Of Judges Gary and Grinnell were
saved, as the bombs, it is understood
were intended for them.-Pioneer Press.

THE CHILDREN'S HOME.
HOW CINCINNATI PROVIDES FOR IN
DiGENT CHILDREN,

Ard From the Ranks of Want aud Crime
Plucks Out the Unfortunate Waits and
Molds Therefrom Good and Worthy
Citi1ens and Better wives.
"'ris education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined
The wise training OF child is the
surest method Of producing o good citi-
zen. What is always the best course TO
be adopted cannot BE Judged, but it is
without contradiction that great progress
is made by aiiording protection to child
from evil, whether OF want or crime.
The Children's Home, of Cincinnati
was founded in 1864, and within the
twenty-thrIe years Of its existence 10,3
children have haen cared for and 2,60S
SURRENDERED to he Home and placed in
homes
The general object Of the Home is to
aineh3rate and elevate the condition of
unfortunate children by procuring for the
homeless and destitute committed to it
country homes where they will be
trained in habits of industry and receive
suitable English education, by caring
for such children as long as they remain
in the institution, and by affording tenn
porary homes to poor children, whose
parents, thus aided, may be enabled in a
short time to support them, and, in gem
eral, TO engage in such other charitable
and religious work as the trustees may
from time To time elect.

by worthy mothers or parents who are
compelled to work out and have no suit
able care for them except at night, and
In the last instance children by surrender
are the waits, homeless entirely, from
any cause whatsoever.
And very important point, moreover,
whenever a child goes from this institu-
ton it carries along the same watchful-
ness, sympathy and protection until il is
able to stand or must fall, and the report
for 1887 gives not a single instance of
failure for that year.
There are other numerous features In
troduced In the workings Of the Children's
Home. The photograph Of each child is
taken and record Kept of its life from
the time it was received.
This institution has a hourishing
monthly publication, "The Record, -
with circulation of 5000 It's contribu-
tors are equal to those Of any publication
for children in the land, and its editorial
manager is Miss Sara NJ. Haughton. Mr..

and Central avenue, and opposite the site
of the new City Hall building, now in
process OF erection, The cost of the
building and grounds was not less than
5000, 900, and in IT'S erection the trustees
aimed to MAKE it adequate to the increas-
ing necessities and demands in the growth
Of the city for time TO come.
The organization comprises five de-
partments: A boys, with two large dor
mitories and large play-room; q girls,
with dormitory and play-room; nursery,
q department. for day children and the
hospital In addition to these there IL
also kindergarten for those children
who are not old enough to attend public
schools, the older cues being required to
attend the public schools. The system of
religious instruction is common TO all
creeds, no sectarian feeling existing at
the home.
Children are admitted in three ways
temporarily, by day and by surrender.
In the first instance they are the children
of parents unfortunate by sickness or
disaster, or from any cause other than
neglect, worthlessness or crime. In such
instance, however, children are admitted
until provision can be made for them or
the parents are induced TO surrender
them. And again the home is a means
of temporary refuge for lost children. In
the second instance children can be left
