 W Consultation in the result. The
 ]l51 south has been destroyed ever Eesore and the solid north plotted out From the political record of the coun- try for all time to come. The war created both. and the people, the grand arbiter of causes and effect, have an- initiated the existing fact as well as the idea New Jersey and Connecti- cut will doubtless cast their electorial vote for President Cleveland, and West Virginia for President, elect, liar rison. These are results unexpected but none the less effective for good for the long hereafter. The broken
 column of southern states augurs well for the south in the future and calls to mind the fact that the south has more important interests than politics and the north trade relation very considerably dependent on the south. This change will be good for the south in ways without number and exhibit far greater reciprocal commercial movement than na2 ever taken place since the war ceased. The manufac- tories will increase a hundred foiI and all will be advantageous to the south if the southern people are true to themselves-El Paso Tribune, Dem).

Very Unhealthy to Drink.

At a summer resort the other day, O bright little 4-year old child amused the company by his continual cute questions and answers. One of his sayings is worthy of repeating. Looking out of the window into rain storm, little Willie inquired, Mamma, where does all the rain come from" From the heavens. |" And do people drink all that water?" continued the little fellow.

It was recently stated in some of the Territorial papers that the aban- donment of Fort Bowie is contemplat- ed. Those who know whereof they speak tell us that no such action is contemplated; and the fact that nine cars of lumber have arrived here dur ing the week to be used in making inn provements at that post, and further, that contracts have recently been let for making 10000 adobes for the con- struction of new buildings, would seem to conclusively prove that the idea of abandoning Fort Bowie is not in con templation.-Wilcox Stockman.

A CHINESE NOTION


 The Chinese believe that when starting on journey 1t Is great good luck to have an insect or reptile go out before you, or better still, to cross your path coming from the left side.
 If you are not thinking of taking a journey and find key, you may expect very shortly to have to pack yot.r trunk To start Cd journey with the new moon Is by far the luckiest thing one can do. A white mark on the nail of the little finger of either hand Is said to foretell Q journey, the old saying, "A gift, friend, foe, a lover to come. and journey to go," being firmly believed in by more than one wise woman.

Stealing a Meeting House.

Speaking of the Baltimore man who
stole saw-mill in that city last week,
one of Dover's oldest and leading law
yers recently said that his first case,
which was pleaded at the Kent county
bar, was in defence of a man who was
accused of stealing a church. The
building was a small Methodist church
which stood on the Leipsic road, and
had been torn down and piled up
ready for removal by a farmer who
had purchased it. Another farmer,
who had for years borne a rather
crooked reputation, hauled the entire
establishment away in one night. The
lumber was found on his premises and
he was arrested. On the trial the
young lawyer for the defence asked
the prosecutor how he could identify
the lumber, and the answer was by
one board. This board was right aside
the door and had knot hole in it, and
we young fellows used to peep in there
to see what girls were in attendance
and, sir, could swear to that knot
hole if saw it in Boston" The de-
fendant was convicted.

The Dog washing Profession.

There are all sorts of ways Of earning a
living in a big city. One of the most re-
cent that has come to my notice is that of
dog washing. There is a Frenchman here
who makes a comfortable income by
washing dogs. He has a graded scale of
prices, and is as busy as he can be all day
long For large dogs, st. Bernards,
mastiffs and Newfoundlands, he gets 81
for each washing; for settlers, collies and
dogs of that size, seventy-five cents; and
for pups and other toy dogs, fifty cents.
He has his own towels, combs and
brushes, but the owners of the dogs sup
ply the soap. AS most dog soaps are eX-
pensive, and as it takes nearly a cake to
wash a St. Bernard, this is a wise ar
rangement. He also makes a speciality
Of destroying fleas on dogs, but for this
he asks a special price, as it is a tedious
job, for he catches them flea by flea, and,
rs every one knows, this is no mean task.
A few years ago people not only did not
keep dogs to the extent they do now, but
they did not take the same care of them,
and there were very few who would have
spent fifty cents or 81 week for dog
washing. Now there are any number
who are very glad to get it done for the
price. In the eyes of a dog lover there is
nothing more melancholy than an un
cared for dog.-New York Letter.

An Ensetlve AdvertIssment.

The desperate straits to which travelling
theatrical companies are driven to devise
original advertising dodges, since the
perambulating street band has ceased to
be novelty, is evidenced by the fact that
one manager in the west has organized
his men into a baseball nine. The adj
vance agent manages for game with a
local nine on the afternoon of the arrival
of the company. If there is no baseball
club in the community, scrub nine is
selected and uniforms are loaned them by
the manager, who carries two sets for just
such an emergency. The Thespians
always allow the local nine to beat them
as an inspiration toiocal pride. The com
pany generally only plays one night IN
each place, but If there is a second nigh
a return game Is announced for the mex
afternoon. The dodge is found to be
most effective advertisement, and tn
company has played to uniformly goo,
business at popular prices.-New YOrl

The Great Horse Snow.
BRUTEs THAT CAN DO BETTER THAN
MANY STAGE PEOPLE.

The amount of enterprise which has
been shown in the advertising of Pro-
fessor BristOl's trained horses and
ponies, had prepared the public for
the appearance of a thOrough-going
man who would probably do all he
proposed. Still the chances were
about even that the high-sounding
title, Eques-CUrriculum, was syno-
nym for humbug. Faith, or the con-
trary, drew, however. fine house last
night to his opening performance, and
never was an audience more fully re-
paid for the trouble of attending.
Professor Bristol, a quiet. gentle
manly, unpretentiOus man, began by
introducing his principle pets to the
audience by name. The introduction
was acknowledged by the animals with
graceful bows and on the part of the
audience with bursts of applause.
Some of the animals were exceedingly
beautiful, and all were clear-eyed, in
telligent-faced creatures who seemed
to comprehend the Professors lightest
word Indeed, the perfect understand
ing and warm affection plainly existing
between the Professor and his pets
were alone worth going far to see.
Their performances were simply
marvellous and showed really human
intelligence, many of their feats requiI-
ing a degree of reasoning power which
would have done credit to a pretty
we'll developed mind. Long before the
evening was over Denver, the dark
brown mule had become the favorite oi
the audience, though the beautiful
form, glossy tail and name, and grace
full movement of Matte, made her a
constant delight, while her wonderful
intelligence exceeded all her other at
fractions. Little Johnnie Sambourne
beautiful bright sorrel pony whose
J total blindness appealed tOuchingly tt
the beholders' sympathies, was a mar
} vel of knowingness and dOcility.
: The horses played at school, worked
examples, some of them given from tn,

Low Back.

There was time not long ago when
it was considered quite as improper for
a lady to turn her back upon gentle
man in a drawing room as for an actor
to turn his back upon the audience.
All this has changed. 1t may almost
be said that ladies now pay more atten-
ton to matters pertaining to the back
than to the front of their toilettes.
The hustle, the skirt drapery and the
back hair are all important. Further
more, the most fashionable women now
have practically abandoned the decol-
lete feature, wearing gowns quite up
to the Rose Cleveland neck line in
front, but down to the Lily Langtry
line in the back. The effect is very
odd, but as many women possess fair
shoulders ami backs while few have
attractive necks, the new feature is
doubtless destined to attain popularity.

A singular thing noticed in Philadel-
phia and in some other large cities is
the gloom-it might almost be said the
Notwithstanding large and magnif-
cent houses. There is hardly a great
and palatial residence in Philadelphia
that is not associated more with mourn
ing than festivity, and there are few OF
them ever seen illuminated or showing
any sign of the joy and brightness that
might be expected within. As a rule
the grandest private residences in Phil
adelphia look more like mausoleums
than homes. In New York the Stew
art and Vanderbilt houses are good
illustrations.

The Oldest inhabitant half a century
hence will cite his experience in the
great storm of 1888 to prove that it
does not blow so hard, freeze so hard,
or snow so deep as it did in his youth.
1t is because such storms as this one
make lasting impression, and survive
in the memory when much else is for
gotten, that nearly all old people are
profoundly of the conviction that the
country enjoys a much milder climate
than it did in their youth, when the
snow drifts used to overtop the fences
and people even perished of cold so
late as the middle of March.

Mr.. Geo. P. Rowell, of New York
who is authority on such matters, in an
address before the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association, at Indian
apOlis, proved that five newspapers
issue more than one-seventh of the
total edition of all the daily papers
printed. The number of daily papers
printed in the United states now num-
bers about fourteen hundred, conse-
quently the five which were referred
to must each sell an average edition
two hundred times greater than the
average of the others.
