AN nL-FouNDED CHARGE.

1t is observed in many of the Eastern
papers that the deal ON the capital and
other institutions in the North Dakota
convention is diffusing an nnjustly
prejudicial impression. A prominent
Pittsburg paper says it establishes the
claim as the champion state for West
ern rapidity." What is meant by this
is indicated by its reference to "forty-
four legislative boodlers" and the "kind
of reform which will lodge the boodlers
in tine penitentiary." This is evidently
a mistaken view. There may be very
serious objections to the action Of that
body in assuming to locate the capital
without allowing the people any voice;
but there is room for the presumption
that the responsible majority were not
inspired by more of selfish interest than
the advantage of their several localities
in the possession of the same institution
would indicate. The word ''boodler"
does not seem to be warranted by the
facts, so far as they are visible. 1t is
not nice word to throw around among
statesmen,

HONORING ISABELLA.

While New York is talking about
erecting monument to COLUMBUS,
Chicago takes step further by in
augurating a movement to build a
monument to Queen ISABELLA. This
is a fair illustration of the romantic
progressiyeness of Western ideas. 1t
has never occurred to the effete New
Workers that we are really indebted to
FERDINAND's sympathetic queen for the
discovery of America. They have con-
sidered the worlds fair of 1892 simply in
the light of an advertisement for New
York, and the discovery of the Western
continent as mere incident. Chicago
went at it in the opposite direction.
When the subject of the worlds far
was preached, the first thing the Chi
cago people did was to find out who
COLUMBUS was. When they learned
that he was navigator who made a
business of locating new claims. the
next thing was to find out who backed
him in his enterprises. Thus 1t was
they discovered IsABELLA's connec-
ton with the great American land grant,
and with the characteristic ShreWdness
of Chicago business men they saw that
ISABELLA was better advertising
card for the worlds fair than CoLUM-
BUS. There was touch of romance in
the way she worked old FERDINAND
for stuff to help COLUMBUS in what
seemed to all the rest of the world to be
wild, chimerical scheme, that really
tickled the Chicago nobility. And now
there is nothing in Chicago too rich for
IsABELLA's memory. She is to have a
monument taller than the Eiffel tower.

A Calf With a Monkeys Face.

Adam Sell, farmer of Schuyler coun-
ty. Illinois, is tie possessor of a curios-
ity in the way o. newly born calf of
marvellous form and figure. The animal
is only half the ordinary size, and its
hide is entirely destitute of hair, the
skin being of a pink color and smooth as
the back of Mexican dog. Instead OF
having hoOfs like other animals of its
kind, its feet are formed of five distinct
toes that have claws at the end like
those of cat. The creatures ears are
exceedingly small. in fact, hardly WIS.,
lille. The face resembles that of
monkey, and from the lower jaw project
two fangs. The animal is extremely in
teIligent, and follows its owner about
the lot, and gives every evidence OF af-
lection. Unable to bawl like an ordi-
nary calf, yet it is able to make noise
similar to that of dumb person ell
deavOring to speak. Some people who
have examined the queer freak feel con-
fident that in time it will be able to talk
at least as well as parrot. Mr.. Sell
has already been offered big sum for
the animal, but refuses to part with it
at any price.

SUMMER COURTsHIPs.

The same old complaint is being
waited up from the summer resorts
this season that we have been hearing
for the last five years. 1t is in regard
to the scarcity of young men. The
mothers with manageable daughters,
who regard the summer resorts in the
light of matrimonial markets, are dis
couraged. The young ladies are all out
of sorts because of the lack of beaux;
and, altogether, there is very I'M
happy condition of affairs. To our
mind, it is a most encouraging sign
when the young men of the country
find better employment than to be
spending their time in loaing around
the summer resorts. 1t is an Indication
that the young men of this age are
wiser in their day and generation than
their fathers were. The fact is
that but comparatively few young
men have the time or the means
to spend in butterfly pursuits, and those
who have find more rational amuse-
ments. More than that, the young
women who have to 90 to public re-

having, and the young men know it.
AS rule, these summer resort mar
riages usually result in one or both of
the parties getting fooled, and an un-
happy married life is pretty apt to fol-
low. The really manageable girl
that is, the girl who is worth having
does not parade herself in public in Or
der to attract husband. Her beauty
and her good qualities, if she possesses
them, shine more brilliantly in the mod
est sphere of the home circle than else
where. The same is true of the young
man who is worth having. There are
plenty of girls capable of making good
wives who will have him for the asking,
so he doesn't have to spend time and
money in hunting around for wife.

DECEPTION.

The year fades, as the west wind signs
And droops in many-colored ways,
But your soft presence never dies
From out the pathway Of my days.
The spring is where, you are; but still
You, far away, to me can bring
Sweet flowers and dreams enough to fill
A thousand empty words with Spring.
l walk the wet and leafless woods,
Your spirit ever floats before,
And lights its russell soIItudes
With blossoms Summer never wore.
l sit beside my lonely fire,
The shadows almost bring your face,
And light with memory and desire
Ny dull and somber dwelling place.
Among my books / feel your hand
That turns the page just past my sight;
Sometimes behind my chair you stand
And read the foolish rhymes write.
The old pianos keys press
In random chords-until hear
Your voice. your rustling silken dress,
And smell the yiolets you wear.
1 do not weep now any more,
/ think / hardly ever sigh.

The kind Of wound of which men die.

Over the CHASTITY grave of pain;

That shall never kiss againl

A very interesting calculation has

which possesses the highest amount Of
horse power is the United States, with
100000 horse power; then follow
England. with 100000; Germany, with
100000 France, with 100000, and
Austro-Hungary, with /, 100000. These
figures do not include locomotives, of
which there are 10000 at work, with
total horse power of 100000. Thus
the total horse power of the world is
100000. A steam "horse power is
equivalent to three actual horses
strength, and each living horse repre-
sents the strength of seven men. Thus
the total horse power of the entire
world represents the work of 1000, 000,-
600 men, or more than twice the work
ing population of the earth. Steam has
thus tripled the entire human work

FRIVOLOUS CONTESTS.

The impression that most of the con-
testants from the South for seats in the
next congress rely upon the votes not
cast for success is easily obtained from
a glance at some of the figures. CHALM-
Frs, in Mississippi, was a Confeder-
ate for whom the Republicans had spe-
cial adherence. He is now Republic
can, and had a majority of 9,62l against
him. He alleges Intimidation of ne
groes." In the Seventh district of the
same state another regenerated rebel
wants majority of $500 set aside for
similar reasons. In two Alabama dis
tricts Republicans want majorities of
10, 153 and 4,4s9 crushed by the colored
votes that were not cast. In Florida
3,195 majority is assailed, and in the
Memphis district the contestant has
S,419 votes in his way. There are SINH
lar cases in Arkansas and South Caro-
lima, and in Virginia the Republican
charges that the Democrats promised
moonshiners to protect them. There
are two or three close cases deserving
of recognition, but most of the contests
are frivolous, and only brought because
of Republican majority in the house.
