CALLING CARDS.
The Trouble That Comes of Ultra Ell;

The Trouble That Comes of Ultra E.i-
quette.
The families of Chief Justice Fuller and
Senator Eyarts are very thick. 1t has
brought about remarkable reform in GER
tain social customs. The celebrated writer
on etiquette, Mrs. Pauline Sherwood. de-
clares with emphasis that, in making calls.
cards should be left for every member OF
the family. In strict adherence to this
| rule, when the seven Evarts girls went
over TO call on the Fullers, they had to
leave cards of themselves and papa and
mamma Evarts for papa and mamma
Fuller and the eight Fuller girls, that is
4 -2X2 tS-90.
Each time they made call they had to
leave ninety cards on the hall table, and
when the Fuller girls went over to see the
Evarts family they had to leave ninety
cards to do the thing in proper shape.
Now those girls would die, each and
every one of them, rather than do single
thing which was not chic and recherche
and au fait and en- regle and cafe au lait,
especially the Fuller girls, and as they ran
back and forth to see each other in their
innocent girlish way not less than four
times day, the equation stood at the end
of month:
90X2X4X30=21, 600.
Justice Fuller came here about October
LIST, and by the end of the year his dear
girls had used over 10000 caids calling on
| the Evarts girls, and not less than 10000
| more call on other precious creatures, and
the house was full of cards. He couldn't
pick up book or put down hand with.
out grabbing a handful of cards. The
house was carpeted with cards. And ii
was the same way over at Senator Evarts
The Judge had been drawing $10,5O0 a
year in monthly installments. and paying
his landlord $1,000 month with COM
mendable regularity and cheerfulness
But when January lst came around and
the stationer ran in bill of $500 for
printing 10000 visiting cards, the Judge
felt apprehensive.
The stationer had the thing down fine.
To accommodate the girls he had heen
putting the cards up in neat little decks OF
ten-just family decks you see. Then,
when call was made, a pack was left for
each member of the family called upon.
And the Evarts girls had theirs fixed the
same way. So convenient; didn't have to
break deck.
The Justice carefully brushed his hat
that evening. He had thought of buying
new tile as a New Years present, but he
put away the notion and gave the old one
whirl against benzine rag. Then put
| 1t on, washed his hands carefully, gave his
mustache twist and went over to Senator
Evarts'. He looked longingly at passing
street car. but resolutely braced himself
against temptation and walked.
The Senator and the Justice had long,
confidential talk, and parted with cordial
grasp IF the hand. The next day furni-
ture van heavily laden went from the Ev-
arts house to the Fuller house, and big two
horse dray, loaded to the scuppers, toiled
from the Justices to the Senator's. The
girls were exchanging cards. Now, when
they make calls on each other they Just

THE BEAUTIFUL.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where earth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, and brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministry to and fro,
Down lowliest ways If God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patience, grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers OF happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well run,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where gras es creep,
Where brown leaves fall where drifts lie dee
Over worn out hands-oh, beautiful sleep,

The Chinook

Chinook is the name give by the Indi-
ans of the upper Columbia to warm wind
that blows from the Japan current and
striking the Oregon coast on the northwest
sweeps across the continent. The Chinook
Indians lived on the lower Columbia, and
this wind coming from the direction of
their home, caused it to be called Chinook
from the land of the Chinooks. The early
settlers of Oregon adopted the term, and
it Is now heard all around the world.
These life-giving wind-belts range in width
from one to hundreds of miles, and they
cut path through snow and ice as clean
as does tornado through forest. Their
line of travel is so distinctly marked some
times that strip of land can be seen run
ming on mountain slope with wall of
snow on each side.

EDMUND RANDOLPH.

A new edition of Moncure D. Conway's
volume on this great Virginian entitled
Omitted Chapters of History" has been
called for, and | am confident the awful
cloud which for hundred years has been
resting on the name and fame of Randolph
is about to be cleared and ample justice
done his memory. Washington's treat
ment of his Attorney-General and
Secretary of State is a dark
blot on his life and no advance of time
will be able to obliterate the stain. His
Treasury accounts to this day remain I'M
settled, although from the alleged debt the
Government gained $1,000 more than the
original amount called for and interest.
Within few days l have called the at
tention of Hon. John w. Daniel, Senator
from Virginia, to the great wrong done
this eminent hero of the Revolution, and
especially to the order of Mr.. Guthrie,
Secretary of the Treasury, dated 2Sth
April, 1856, directing the First Auditor to
revise the account in accordance with the
facts shown by the Solicitor, but of which
no notice has been taken whatever, Off
cially, to this day. What Californian does
not recall with pride the brilliant grand
son of this statesman, Edmund, who died
at San Francisco in 1861, in the first bright
flush of early manhood. He was one of
the early '49ers whose exploits and virtues
are allowed to fall into forgetfulness.
Some elderly men in Sacramento have
heard him speak, and they are agreed that
his voice and manner and words were
indescribably finished, recalling many
things they had read of his great ancestor
at William and Mary, in the Courts of
law, and in the convention which framed
the Constitution. In the celebrated Al
MAIDEN mine case Randolph appeared for
the United States Government, and on his
argument, submitted after his death, the
suit was won. His industry and intensity
in this case broke him down, and in addi-
ton to the $1,000 retaining fee, the Attor-
ney-GeneraPs department at Washington
paid his widow the sum of $4,000. 1t
was small compensation for his labors, for

HOW SEEDS SPREAD.

Some years ago it is said that citizen

about IA miles northwest of Martins

country is somewhat rolling, but the
land if properly cultivated is we'll
adapted to all kinds of grain, grass
and vegetables. For fruit it ranks
among the best in the country. We
are informed by gentleman of Phil
adelphia, manufacturer of wine, that
he believed this locality to compare
favorably with the great wine districts
of France, and on that conclusion he
has purchased a tract Of about 100
acres of land, part of which he is
going to convert into vineyard.
A large vein of anthracite coal has
been discovered; company has been
formed with large capital for the
purpose of mining said coal and iron
ore. A railroad will be built from
this place to connect with the B. & O.

KILLED AT THEIR CARDS.

MARQUETTE, MICH, Jan. 49,
As the eastb0und passenger train of
the Northwestern Railroad neared
Elmwood, a station sixteen miles east
OF Watersmeet, at one o'clock this
afternoon, one Of the trucks under
the rear coach broke and threw the
coach off the track. The coach was
derailed about FIVE car-lengths, when
it struck a stump and smashed to
pieces, killing or injuring all the oc-
cupants.
o. G. Davidson, of Commonwealth,
at the time of the accident was play
ing cards with Lieut.. Gov. Mcdonald,
Mr.. Tuttle and Mr.. Corcoran. He
says that the first intimation that he
had of anything wrong was jolting
sensation, the car then swayed two
or three times and then turned on
its side. He remembered nothing
more, until he found himself two O..
three hundred feet in the rear of the
train in the snow. 1t seems that the
car in turning over struck a stump,
which penetrated it between the
men who were playing cards. Mr..
Tuttle, who was seated in the seat
to the rear of the table. was instant
~ killed, his neck being broken.
Mr.. Mcdonald was IN the same seat
with him, and his arm was torn out
of the shoulder. and was found at
least forty feet from the body. He
lived about an hour, and was con.
sclous for few minutes. The whole
side of the car was torn out by a
second stump, and 1t seems miracu-
l0us that any escaped.
Mr.. Mcdonald was elected Iieuten
ant governor in 1886 and re elected
last November. He was sixty-two
years of age, and leaves a widow
and . son and daughter. His estate
is valued at over 100000.
Mr.. Tuttle was well known in
Cleveland and in the Lake Superior
mining districts. He leaves widow
and one child.
b. z. Foster, of Iron Mountain, is
a prominent mining man. whose op-
erations extend over the Marquette,
