Mary Anderson's American Castle.

Mary Anderson, the actress, owns a valuable farm of 320 acres on the Lafay- cite township knobs, about five miles from New Albany. On the farm is a fine orchard and building site, from which can be had magnificent view of the Falls cities and the distant Ohio. It is said that Miss Anderson contemplates at some time erecting on the summit of the high hill a magnificent country resi- dencc, similar in style of architecture to san1c of the castles she saw during her stay in Europe.

THE republican organs ought to let up on the republicans who held office dur ing Cleveland's administration. Harri- son received no more earnest or effective support than was given by the individu- als whom Cleveland allowed to retain office through mistaken sense of duty. They will have to go anyway in 1o93, for the democratic administration that is going to be inaugurated then will be democratic and will have democratic back bone.

"SllOGt tho Lion."

A minister once announced as his text: s'The slothful man saith, there is lion in the way" As he paused he heard a lad in the gallery whisper: "Shoot the lion." With ready wit he turned to the boy and said You have given in three words the sum of my sermon, and that all may remember, I will repeat your summary" Then turning to the con- gregation he said: ''The slothful man saith there is lion in the way" After a pause he went on: My young friend in the gallery says, Shoot the lion. this is the exact thing to do. Let us pray. y."-St. Louis Republic.

THE general opinion concerning Walker Blaine's appointment to office is that the old man is bound to have a string on every claim against the state department. Whenever there's then on" in that department the old man may be expected to be around to pick up the egg. What Blaine does'nt know about claims and the best way to make them of the most benefit to the Blaine family wouldn't make very big book.

SOME of the republicans who have not enjoyed the distinction of being law partners, ,neighbors or classmates of Har- rison are wondering whether, after this class of spells hunters has been thorough ly satisfied, there will be anything left for them to appease their hunger on. It seems to take considerable to go around in their case, and the half of them haven't been heard from yet.

OKLAHOMA

The Oklahoma bill had not passed the
senate up to Monday night. 1t had
been put over until Monday, but when
Senator Cullom called it up Senator AL
lison objected TO it's consideration, say
ing that the army appropriation bill
should he considered first. After that
bill had been under consideration for
awhile, the senate went into the deliv-
cry of eulogies on the character of the
late Congressman Burns. We have not
yet seen any reason for changing our
opinion about the fate OF the Oklahoma
bill this year: We do not believe it will
pass the senate, OF if it does, 1t will be
loaded down with amendments that the
house will not agree to and so it will
die. There will not likely be any legis-
latiOn after Saturday. AS before sug-
gested in these columns, Barber county
people who are packed up and ready to
enter Oklahoma this spring may as we'll
unpack and make arrangements to raise
a crop here.

rs RRIAGE a FAuuBEg

The commissioner of labor, Carroll
d. Wright, has submitted to congress
his special report on the statistics of
the laws relating to marriage and di-
vorce in the United States from 1867 to
1885, inclusive. The statistics of mar
riage only cover about 66 per cent. of
the counties of the country for the rea-
son that several states do not have a
record of marriages.
During the time mentioned there were
32S,7l6 divorces granted, and of this
number 2l6,738, or 65 per cent, were
granted to wives.
The causes in which wives are the
petitioners more largely than husbands
are: Cruelty, where the wife seeks di-
vorce as to l. In desertion, where the
proportion is oyer II to 1. In drunken
ness, where it is 8 to l. The husband
is shown to have sought divorce for the
adultery of the wife in 38,I55 cases,
while the wife has obtained a divorce
In 2s,4SO cases for the adultery of the
husband. The cause for which the
greatest number of divorces were gran
ted is that of desertion, being 126.557,
or SO per cent. of the whole number.
The commissioner says that it is appa-
rent that the divorces granted for
drunkenness, the total being 1888,
cannot in any sense of the word repre-
sent the total number in which drunk
enness or intemperance is a serious fac
tor. This number is only 4 per cent. of
the total number of divorces. while In
few representative counties where IN
vestigation was carried outside of al
legged causes, it is shown that intemper-
ance was a direct or indirect cause in
over 20 per cent. of the whole number
of divorces granted in such counties.

THE CABINET.

The cabinet-guessers have completed
their selection of Gen. Harrison's advi-
sers, and the list expected to be sent
INTO the senate on the 4th of March is
as follows: For secretary of state, Jas.
u. Blaine, of Maine; secretary Of the
treasury, VIM. Window, of Minnesota
secretary of war, jeremiah Rusk, OF
Wisconsin secretary of the navy, John
r. Thomas, of Illinois; secretary of the
interior, John w. Noble, of Missouri
attorney general, W. II. II, Miller, OF
Indiana. Harrison's law partner; post
master general, John Wannamaker, OF
Pennsylvania; secretary of agriculture
Warner Miller, Of New York. This
slate has now been talked of for a week
and the belief IS that it will not be bro
ken. If there is q change, it will prob.
ably be the omission OF the name of Mr..
Thomas. California is kicking because
she will have no representative IN the
cabinet; and New York is not pleased
over being given the least important
position, although it is said that Win
dom is the nominee of Wall street, he
having devoted four years to specula-
ting there. 1t does not matter much
who compose the cabinet, there will be
dissatisfaction, and Gen. Harrison will
be in hotter water than Gen. Garfield
was, before he has been in Office three
months.

THE BEEF COMBINE.

The Kansas legislative committee,
appointed to investigate the alleged
beef combine, at Kansas City. which,
it is claimed had lowered the price of
cattle and raised the price of dressed
beef, made two reports to the legisla-
ture last Saturday, the minority report
saying that there is no combine. The
majority report says:
I'VE find there is a prevailing opinion
among many farmers and stock raisers
that combine exists among the pro-
prietors of the packing houses in Kan
sas City to control the prices of cattle
on foot and the prices of dressed meat,
but we do not find positive proof of
such combination. We are led to be-
lieve, however, from the circumstantial
evidence and personal observation that
the packing houses of Kansas City CEN
tralize the cattle market of the West
at that point and place in the hands of
a few power that can be used at viii
to the detriment of the stock -raisers of
our State. We, therefore, recommend
as protection of the stock-raisers and
others. that the municipal governments
of the state be empowered by an act of
the Legislature TO enact QrdiDances- re-
qliirlng local inspection on foot, and
the slaughter of cattle, the meat of
which is offered for sale in the city
where such ordinance Is enacted. =
