The American Girl.

A pleasing and constant topic of
One of the latter commentators says
OF her, "American girls have shown
that they can receive, travel, and live
without chaperons, escorts, or hus-
bands, and are fast developing bright,
clear, intelligent, selfreliant, courage
Gus. and refreshing variety of the hu-
mao race" And again, "Even il in
future years the slender Yankee belle
is hidden behind the ampler beuty of
English matron, we may still bear
from her lips the wit and shrewdness,
the acute accent, the intelligent ques-
tior, and the rapid repartee that pro-
claim her original nationality The
society" pictures in the papers and
magazines represent the dismsy OF the
British matron with manageable
daughters as she surveys the avatar OF
the American divinity and rival. The
essential differences of society in the
two countries are at once suggested,
and the alarm of the wstchful parent
is justified. 80.
The passage that we have quoted
apparently describe by contrast, which
is fact which does not seem to have
occurred to the writer. Dou .tless at
heart he is loyal to the English girl.
and does not admit even in debate
that her supremacy of maidenhood can
be disputed. When he says that
American girls have shown that they
co ., rona;ya troyal and l;yo ,y,tbo,t
chaperons, escorts, or husbands, he
seems to mean that they have shown
this distinctively as compared with
other girls. When he adds that they
are fast developing a bright, clear.
intelligent, self-reliant, courageous,
aud refreshing variety of the human
race, can he mean that it is a new
variety of girl. and that il i, not per-
fectly familiar in England? So in the
ohter passage, when, supposing the
American girl transformed into the
British matron, he remarks, with evil
dent admiration, "we may still hear
from her lips the wit and shrewdness,
the acute accent, the intelligent pues-
ton, and the rapid repartee that pro-
claim her original nationality" would
he have rs understand that those are
not the characteristics of the British
matron of to-day! Or dos he intimate
only that the coming of the Americans
will but enlarge the number of these
delightful ladies?
The writer certainly seems to de-
scribe bv contrast, but he has wisely
left little cloud in which TO envelop
his retreat iu case of emergency.
Certainly we need not press him.
Whatever he may think or say of the
English girl, he has spoken well and
truly of her American sister. His de-
scription applies to the girl who grows
up amid the average conditions of
A. erican life, the girl xho is portray
ed in hr more jejune condition in
Henry James's Daisy Miller. The two
chief qualities Of that young woman,
as represented by the shrewd and sub.
tie artist, are self-respect and self
reliance. The perplexily of the
phenomenon TO the foreign reader lies
in the fact that she does what the
European girl without self-respect does.

An Imperative Necessity.

What pure air is to an unhealthy To-
cality, what spring cleaning is to the
neat house-keeper, SO is Hoods Sarsa-
parila so everybody, at this season.
The body needs to be thoroughly reno
waited, the blood purified and vitalized,
the germs of disease destroyed. Scro-
fula, Salt Rheum, and all other blood
disorders are cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, the most popular and successful
spring medicine.

That Tired Feeling

Season is here again, and nearly every
one feels weak, languid, and exhaust
ed. The blood, laden with impurities
which have been accommodating for
months, moves sluggishly through the
veins, the MUD fails to think quickly
aud the body is still slower to respond.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is just what is
needed. 1t purl6es, vitalizes, and en-
riches the blood, makes the head clear,
creates an appetite, overcomes that tir-
ed feeling, and imparts new strength
and vigor to the whole body,

To Make New Blood Good for Uld People

Old and iu6rm persons need some
mild tonic or geutle stimulant, espe-
cially in warm weather. Tho wine
made in New Jersey by Mr.. Speer,
called Speers Port Wine, makes new
healthy blood by reason of the iron in
the soil. 1t is used by the most emi-
nent physicians and in hospitals as the
best tonic wine known. Speers Claret
is also regarded as the parest,

Now, Give Attention

To the purifcation of your blood, fol
at no season is the body SO susceptible
to the beuefts to be derived from a
good mediciue, as in March, April and
May. Hoods Sarsaparila is the
peoples favorite spring medicine. 1t
stands unequalled for purifying the
blood, curing scrofula, salt rheum, etc,
regulating the kidneys and liver, re,
pairing nerve tissues, strengthening
and invigorating the whole body, as
well as checking the progress of acute
and chronic disease, and restoring the
afflicted parts TO natural, healthy
condition, If you have never tried

Brakeman Killed.

Chas. IIiltzen, head brakeman on
the south bound Milwaukee train
was killed near the L. & S. elevator,
Tuesday morning, while switching.
1t seems the last Car had been
thrown in on side track, and Hit
zen Strengthening up the switch,
jumped on to the engine, which was
backing, passed through the cab
and over the coal in the tender as
the locomotive moved back ward so
as to be ready to make the coupling
to the train which had been left in
front Of the depot, but in climbing
down over the end of the tender,
he lost his footing and dropped to
the ground suffering the tender and
engine to Immediately back over
him. the engineer knowing nothing
of his misfortune till he noticed his
legs outside the rail as the drivers
passed over them. the body in fact
having been dragged or showed
along some two rods from the point
where deceased fell. The engine
was stopped but it was found that
young IIiltzen was frightfully
mangled, and although breathing
was probably unconscious. lie was
taken to the hospital and breathed
for nearly an hour, Doctors Quick
and Trnax attending him. he hav-
ing never spoken, apparently, from
the moment he fell. 1t is a habit
brakemen have of climbing down
over the end of tender when it
is going in a backward direction
to make coupling, but it is not
only unnecessary to do such thing
but is known to be decidedly dan
gerous. The train men all felt very
badly over the misfortune, the train
being delayed some two hours.
Deceased was about % years of age
and his people live at Milbank; and
4 special train happening along here
that evening, the remains were
taken to their home, Undertaken
Rice having dressed and prepared
them for burial.
The railroad boys ought to be
careful, but they won't.

The Board and Auditor Perry.
The county commissioners have
now encountered u difficulty with
Auditor Perry. they having at the
April meeting, we believe, decided
to not allow Treasurer Ulsaker's
quarterly salary. in an effort to
charge him with delinquent per-
sonal taxes, as they and the district
attorney interpret the law. 1t will
he remembered that the commits
sioners. a few months since, argre-
gated and published these deiin-
quencles amounting to some $50,
OOO, and claimed that some $4,000
OF these were collcctiblc, or ut least
that the treasurer was answerablc
for the same, and with this view the
board had undertaken to test the
law. when their clerk or secretary
takes it upon himself to draw not
only the warrant refused but one
for the last quarter as we'll, amount
ing to more than 5000, which en-
harnesses the board in it's July set
tlement. 1t would seem that Mr..
Perry has made a mistake in draw
ing these warrants against the wish
OF the board and the written opinion
of the district attorney. The board
is the custodian of the public funds
and they should he oheycd. Their
only object is to try and do their
duty under the law, it being, as we
understand it. the province of the
court to Ovcr-rulc or sustain the
board-and whatever the court docs
or should do would very likely sat
isfy the board.
OF course there is the other prop
osition, that the board should have
first taken the case to court, and
established the delinquency and the
treasurer's liability i'm the premises.
secured the courts Instructions to
retain the salary-and in that way
test the law-reaping it's benefits if
it be tcnable and beneficial law.
However. the matter is one which
resolves itself into questions of law,
no matter which end is taken up
first, and it will undoubtedly be
properlya settled before dropped.
The hoard ought not to be blamed
for trying to do its duty.
