MR.. BOwsRR CLEANS HOUSE,

HIS Wlfo'a Vivid Account OF the Awful tx
perience. He Could Do It AL In One
Hour,
The annual domestic upheavel in the
Bowser household brought the lord and
master out In a new and interesting
light, thus veraciously chronicled in the
Detroit Free Pres by the sympathetic
partner OF his joys and sorrows:
"What did those two Colored women
want" inquired Mr., Bo Tser as he came
in the other evening just as the individ-
uals referred to were passing out.
"They called to see when l would be
ready for them
allow readyP"
at Is spring, you know"
"Well, what has spring, you know,
got to do with two colored women"
~ have got to wash few windows
and take up carpet or two."
Blouse CleaningW
"No, not exactly, but then"
"See here, Mrs. BOwser, this thing has
got to stop right here and now. Because
some zoo years ago some old cranky
housekeeper in New England felt
obliged to rip and tear and upset the
house for two or three weeks in April,
all you women OF to-day feel Obliged to
keep up the CUSTOM"
"But everybody cleans house more or
less"
"Can't help that. I'm not going to
have everything topsy turvey around
here for the next three weeks. That will
be the result il you put two women at
work. They will spin out the job as
long as possible"
ait won't take over a week"
"a week! 1t shouldn't take one day.
l can go at it and do all the cleaning
necessary in one hour"
HoUsEcLEANING ALL A FRAUD.
1 didn't say anything further until
after supper. Unfortunately for mo one
OF the women returned 10 ask about
matter she had forgotten, and Mr.. Bow
ser saw her and said:
care you one OF the women who are
going 10 houseClean hereY
ayes, sab"
Excuse me, but don't believe W II

myself. You needn't put in an appear.

she asked In surprise.
II am. l know it does not belong TO
mans state, but have young and in.
experienced wife who is easily imposed
on, and am going to prove to her that
this housekeeping business Is all q
fraud"
"NIr. Bowser," said as he returned to
the sitting room, "dldn't you have an ex'
perience last spring."
"Yes, ma'am, experienced this house
from top to bottom in just two hours
and II still remains the Cleanest house In
Detroit. l have nothing particular "a
do tomorrow, and shall take hold"
Ill can't help you any"

At Delmoaico's, just previous to the
"yndom breakfast, Gen. Sherman
WAS seated in one Of the reception
rooms talking to lIr. Charles WYndom
and Col. Edward Alfriend, Of Rich
mond. The editor Of o newspaper
passed through the room and Gen.
sherman nodded to him and remark
ed 70 his companions that the editor
was q drummer boy under him al
Shiloh.
Such is the whirligig Of time, Gen
eral, said AIr. Wyndom.
"Why, sir, responded the old Gen
eral, 'Ethere were four Governors of
States who were buglars under me,
aud before the war was over they had
risen to the rank Of major generals
ut is certainly remarkable" said
Mr.. Wyndom, 'sthat men who entered
the army in such an humble way
should rise to the rank Of major gen.
eral in one war"
"lfy dear sir" said Gen. Sherman,
you must remember that our war
was enc Of the greatest wars that was
ever fought. It was fght between
people OF the same race. You know
that when Greek meets Greek then
comes the tug Of war, and that was
true of u.s. We had a determined
enemy, and, By the way, there sits
one Of them now, over there and The
general pointed to Col. Thos. ?. Ochil-
,fee who was sitting on q settee with
his erutches resting across his arms.
General, | am also one Of those
fellows, like nay Texas friend" said
Col AIfriend.
"Whese did you serve, sir?" asked
Gen. Sherman.
''I served first on the staff Of Stone
wall Jackson and afterwards under
Gen. Lee"
Give me your hand, sir said Gen.
Sherman, standing up and reaching
for Col Alfriend's hand. 81 am

SHALL WE ANNEX CUBA?

a Washington speqialto the Chica-
go tribune, Nov. 10, says: Following
the reports about Secretary Blaine's
hawa.ian policy tIts people, who seem
to know moro q sAsht it shan the secre-
t2ry himself dpAg have mapped out IL
plan for MIN 10 purchase Cuba. This
latest story Is interesting because it
gives the views ora leading Demo-
cratic senator, in an interview, says:
1T is q proposition that has always
been popular in the South, and still
Is so, ! believe. / should like to see
the thing accomplished, and if Mr..
Blaine sets about it in a way to make
it possible for me to support him in
the movement | shall be glad to do SO.
The United States ought to own and
control. Cuba for several good reasons.
In the first place, as matters now
stand, the great harbor of Havana
might become the retreat, the hiding
place, for war vessels enough, in case
Of foreign war, to completely des-
troy our c0mmerse. 1t is at our door,
and both the mouth Of the Mississippi
and the gulf Of Mexico could be COM
pletely commanded from that point
against us. Then in the second place
we should save over S100,000,000- an
nually in the import duties on sugar
and tobacco, which we now get from
that island"
"Iiow would you govern it?"
There would be no. trouble about
that. The population Of Cuba to-day
is not more foreign to the language
and institutions Of this country than,
the population Of Louisiana at the time
Mr.. Jefferson bought that territory.
At the outset, of course, as in the case
Of Louisiana, the officials would have
to be appointed by the president, and
that policy could satisfactorily be con-
tinued until such time as the people
had prepared themselves for local self
That would come faster
than one ordinarily might suppose"
'Do you think Spain could be in
duced to sell; and at what price?"
81 should think the island might be.
bought. Spain does not value it as
she once did. The change of feeling
is shown by the wretched local govern
ment she provides for the island. L
think | risk nothing in saying that
Cuba is the worst governed colony on
-he globe. The people are pillaged
right and left and human life is most
lnsafe there. AS to the price | should
not like to speak. President Polk Of
5ered S10o000,000 for the island for
y years ago"
"Would the Cubans themselves fa-
yor the transfer Of authority" {
NEARLY all Of them, / believe.
The people feel nearer to US than to
he mother country. It is long way
lcross the sea, but we are their next
loor neighbors. The educated and
Cubans would all be glad of
iuch change"

LI1cTLEsS COTTON L0LLs.

The story os tae Carolina farmers
praoUctHu of gindcs5 cotton balls
dllad with seed has been scofaa at rs
& sell" but Il Charleston dispatch of
the 18th Of November asserts thar
specimens from Spartansbure county
are on exhibition there whicI demon
s5rate its success. The new plant will,
1t IS asserted, produce from 800 ITO 400
bushels OF cotton seed without lint to
the acre. The bolls are filed with
seed which are perfectly clean and
which show no signs Of lint. Every
boil contains as many seeds as it can
possibly hold. The bolla are the size
OF the average cotton boil. The i'm
portance OF this matter may be under
stood when the number Of oil mills
and the value of their products are
considered, and the propagatofs Of this
new cotton plant assert that at the
present price Of cotton seed an acre Of
the new plant will yield from 500 to
400 per cent. more than an acre Of
cotton.

HONEST JOHN" LIED.

The following letter from Senator
Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
Is very plain language:
Hon. JOHN Hanemoker:
Sir-The inclosed extract from a
South Carolina paper has caused me
great surprise, for, perhaps you may
remember, if your memory is not
treacherous, your assurance to me
few days ago that Mr.. Gibbes should
not be removed till the expiration of
his term in February next. Not only
did you do this, but you voluntarily
assured me that inasmuch as Column
bia was my postoffice. you would,
when a successor to Mr.. Gibbes was to
be appointed, consult me. It is
matter Of small Importance to me who
