Laying Plsns for Reelection.

SALEM. Feb. 12.-United States
senator John b. Mitchell is already
laying his wires for reelection. He
has telegraphed a friend here to see
to it that none of the new counties to
be created by the Legislature now in
session shall be Democratic. This is
regarded as the first move for his
return to the senate. His candidacy
will be bitterly opposed, and it is
doubtful il he can be reelected.

FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
An Elderly Gentleman TOYS How to Coax
"A Man to Proppse.

An elderly man was telling a group
Of giddy young girls the other day how
he proposed to his wife when he was a
young man. She was sewing at the
slime, he said, or he sever would have
had the courage 10 do Il. II girls
would sew more he thinks they would
have more matrimonial chances. Sew
ing he considers the best accomplish
ment that a woman can have. A
woman engaged with a needle has a
domestic. home-like air that is ire
sistible to a man who loves her. It is
picture of what she would be in her
own home, and makes him long that it
should be his also. How can a man
propose to a girl who sits straight VI
in her chair staring hard at hin with
a pair OF bright eyesP But when she
is bending gracefully over bit of
plain or fancy sewing. apparently alb
sorbed in counting the stitches, and
the arrows of her eyes are sheathed
for few minutes, he plucks up cour-
age enough to offer her his heart and
hand. The average young man
is bashful in such affairs. though
bold enough at other times, and needs
encouragement and opportunities.
What sort of encouragement is a pair
of bright eyes staring into his. watch
ing his embarrassment? Listen tothe
advice of an old man who has bee.
all through it; drop your eyes and
give the young man a chance. Re-
member. this. girls, when the favorite
young man drops in to make an even
ing visit, get out your bit of fancy
work and look domestic, and with
every stitch OF your needle you will
bind his heart more firmly to your
own.
This is the advantage that the En-
glish girls are said to possess over the
American girls-they are more do
nestle; If they shine less brilliantly in
society than their American sisters
their domestic virtues shed s.eafy
luster in their houses. This. OF cou,se.
is looking at the question from an En-
giish point of view. The Ames lean
girls are capable Of doing hot1.: do
mesticity is not Incompatible with So
cial brilliancy. and many OF societsss
queens are careful honsekeepe,s and
devoted wives and mothers, keeping
their sweetest words and smiles for
their own homes.-N. Y. Star.

A Serious Disease Generally Brought OR
Inv Oyer.Feedin0

A Serious Disease Generally Brought ON
by Overlooking
In this disease the blood rushes TO
the head in larger quantity than can
be taken care of by the brain, and the
brain suspends its activity wholly or
in part. When the attack is light the
fowl does not fall down. but merely
feels dizzy and walks around with a
staggering gait like a drunken person.
In few minutes the attack passes off.
In severer cases the fowl some times
runs around in circles for few min.
utes, and then falls seuseless, and
some times the victim falls senseless
at once, without exhibiting any dizzh
ness, and dies with hardly a struggle.
Such cases are generally hopeless from
the start, for the chances are thai the
pressure of blood has already burst a
blood-vessel, in which case nothing
can save her. Still, it will do no harm
to doctor them little, for If the blood
vessel has not already given way,
prompt treatment may prevent it from
bursting.
Hold the head under a stream OF
cold water for minute; this will drive
the blood back from the head. Next
cut into the large vein under the wing.
and bleed the fowl. As soon as the
fowl shows signs of returning con.
seriousness. stop the blood by pressing
the finger on the cut for a few minutes.
or apply burnt alum. Keep the patient
quiet, and on low feed for several
days. For light attacks of dizziness
pour cold water on the head. and
afterward give large dose OF castor
oil. Shut the fowl in a coop for a few
days. and feed very little To save
the rest of the fowls, give every one
moderate dose OF castor oil, and no
food at all beyond what they can pick
up, for twenty-four hours. Afterward,
if they have free range, give only one
scant feeding Of oats each day. II
they refuse the oats, as very likely they
will, il they have not been accustomed
to them, don't give them any thing
else; let them eat the oats or 60 with.

WRITER'S OF INFLUENCE.
The Newspaper Man as the Unrivale
Molder of Public Opinion.

The Newspaper Man as the Unrivaled
Molder of Public Opinion.
The famous writers of our time are
not those who have made speeches in
Congress; or supplied squared and
compassed" articles for the great
monthlies. The potent writer of to-
day, and he who governs and directs
the thinking and thus the law-maBing
of the country as nodded by popular
opinion, is the newspaper man. No
magazine writer or editor has ever
welded the power of Greeley, OF
Dana, William Cullen Bryant, or Wat
terson, or Curtis, or Halstead. The
restraint put upon fecund newspaper
writer by rules of essayists and of the
magazines constrains invention, sup
presses vital force. A writer who
thinks rapidly and earnestly ends the
fires of genius burning low when ne
begins the tedious task of filling ten
or twenty pages of magazine.
Thirty years ago the admirable liter
allure of the country was only in the
magazines. For the tasteful and
beautiful and ornate. cultured taste
then sought books and periodicals,
like the Orion and the Southern Liter
airy Messenger To-day one may find
as admirable specimens of faultless
rhetoric in daily papers, and especial
ly in their special editions, as in
choicest books and most ornate
monthly publications.
In fact the purely literary and philo-
sophical monthlies are giving way be-
fore the pressure and power OF the
great newspapers, whose best editions
are veritable magazines of choicest lit
erature. The restraint put upon arti-
Giles of genius, full Of force and inspira-
ton, and ready at moments notice to
discuss any conceivable subject wisely
and tastefully, by the straight-laced
editors of magazines. warps intellect,
Restraints its forces and stills fancy to
tremulous repOse. No wonder that the
fierce, earnest logic and vigorous SEN
fences of Horace Greeley refused to air
themselves in the covered vehicle of
thought and elOquence in which the
neat and tidy and scholarly 'litera-
tours" of Boston aired the delicate
children of their genius. The writer
of the soft, sweet history of the Dutch
Republic could never have figured in
that partisan prize-ring in which Dana
is>a ''slugger" and Watterson "a most
graceful and dangerous acrobat But
the men governing the thinking Of
mankind to-day are the great journal
lists, and not the magazinists of the
age and century.
There is no American Macaulay or
Jeffries or Christopher North. and
there will never be. The newspaper
has supplanted the magazine L. T.
Dupre, in Birmingham (Ala.) News.

Fabrics for Summer Mourning.

Nuns vailing and greuadine are sta
pie fabrics for summer mourning
dresses, just as Henrietta cloth and inn
perial serge are for those worn in win
ter. Silk-warped vailings are lighter
than those that are all wool, and shed
the dust better. They are dull enough
to be used as the deepest mourning; as
widows first dresses they are trimmed
with Grape, but for others their broad
selvage forms the trimming, and this
selvage is now lightly hemstitched in
one row at the edge, or in four rows
through the>thick band. Grenadines,
which had somewhat fallen into dis
use. are revived in all their varieties,
the smoothly-woven sewing-siik gren-
adines being used for the deepest
mourning, as they have little luster.
and the armure grenadines are also
considered specially suitable fos
mourning. Iron grenadine is another
genuine mourning fabric OF mixed silk
and wool. with scarcely perceptible
meshes, while the various canvas gren-
adines with large square meshss are
made up for lighter mourning. and
trimmed with row after row OF the
small narrow rolls called milliners'
folds. made of dull gros-grain silk or
OF armure silk -Harper's Bazaar.
