Contrast this with Sabine Pass opera

ready to supplement government appTo-

needed depth and proving that faith by
the expenditure of dollars. Constrast it
with Arkansas Pass, waiting patiently and
knocking humbly at the doors of the

that she need not fear the priest, nor st.

Good Friday night there was grand
procession, that is, grand for Capri, and
very effective in that simple place, where
the hearts Of the people followed with
their feet. There mast have been 800
torch bearers in white aud black robes,
with long, pointed hoods hanging from
their heads. First came the chorister
boys in white, then priests carrying Ian
ters on poles, followed by men bearing
upon litter a life-size efigy of Christ IN
plaster, the painted blood
STREAMING FROM HIS WOUNDS,
then little doll-like figure of the Virgin
Mary two or three feet high borne up
right, dressed in a robe of black and
white and carrying q white lace pocket
handkerchief in her hand, after which
came the citizens with candles. All were
chanting the story of our Lords life in
Latin, and accompanied by the sweet,
wailing chant, the long procession was
solemn and impressive, in spite of some
absurditiss on the part of the Virgin.
The day before Easter we we're sitting
quietly in our room at the hotel, when
the maid came in and said something in

word priest. Suddenly the door opened
again without knock, and priest en-
tered in his priestly robes, followed by
an acolyte in white, bearing silver vase
of holy water. The priest dipped a
sponge fastened to silver handle in the
vase and repeating Latin words in low +,
monotonous tone, he sprinkled the room
with the water; then, bowling with grave
courtesy to each of us, he left. 1t seems

men with rings in their ears were kneel-

women. Their black hair was fastened
up behind with silver pins; they wore
their brightest 'kerohiets, their prettlest

almost every woman bore in her arms a

Easter Sunday is q true festival for the
Caprietes. 1t is the day of family re-
unions, and one of the four days OF the
year when the people eat meat. The
splendid muscles of these peasants are
built up from beans and vegetables, fish
and fruit. They furnish en- excellent
example for the snti-butcher's meat

Andrew LanE's typical American.

Andrew Lang in North American Review.
But, IL try we must, here goes for the typical
American of the educated classes. He is not
very like an Englishman; he is rather more
like Frenchman, but still more like an Amer1-
can. You cannot say where he differs in APP
pearance from Britain; it may be in his neck
tie, his boots or the way in which he brushes
his hair. He seldom looks as if he lived much
in the open air or was fond OF held
sports. He is much more vivacious than an en-
glishman, more original in manner, more fertile
in ideas, more modern in every way. He is al
most too good company; too ehervescent for
some IStyes Oh s fc nogEy noties ana
social COMMISSIONS. These are all pretty indif-
feTent to the native of q country which has ell
bow room, a militia which shoots and practic-
ally no neighbors. He is usually fond of the
Irish and their cause, but he never goes to Ire
land. He does not mind explaining to you the
niceties OF baseball, but have known an ell
derby Frenchman take more interest than he does
in cricket. He seems to me TO know great deal
about cookery and, delicacies Of strange names
American or French, but he has, perhaps. no
very high opinion of our poor culinary efforts:
He is not curious, however, In strange mixed
juleps and cocktails and so forth, like the rep
resentatiye American OF the stage. He very sell
dom talks with an English accent, and even
when he does bis idiom5 betray him. He takes
&c IS much too familiar with English life to be
very keenly curious about it; and he never
dreams of going to see the lions. He is rather
fond Of the play, knowing ana caring very much
more about our authors, actors, pieces and so
forth, than do, for one. He is kind, courte-
GUS, oblising, ingenious, good fellow,
and welcome because he is infinitely more
alive than most Of us. To bring him into q
room full of detected Britons is like pouring
fresh water among the fish in q pail. He is
patriotic, but no Chauviniste, and Is aware that
Bunker Hill was but British defeat, He does
not talk about the war and Abraham Lincoln.
We are sorry when he goes away and glad when
he comes back again with new budget of
good slo1ies, for, il he has national trait It is
the shopping Of anecdotes. He is1pat man
that anybody would think of trying to impose
have 1 seen a robustious American. noG an
American who preached. nor an American who
told pointless stories. =-r4-.

rh. Yonng nIan in Politics.
Chsuncey Depew,

If the nation would remain free its young men
must be the most important factors in its politics
and its parties. They alone possess the element
ogerthrwin such rings and upsets combinations

meut. They alone possess that quality
so necessary ct times where auoacity
leads caution and enthusiasm commands tudg-
rent. The day that marks snch distaste for
politics and public life, such disappearance OF
activity in the affairs Of the state and Of the
government as wiz make II bad form end un-
popular for young men to be active, VIII mark
the decadence TO be followed by the overthrow
Of the liberties Of the countrY.

A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE.

Marsh Paugh, prominent stockdealer
Of Sedgwick, was at the stockyards yester-
day with a load of stock. In conversation
with some gentlemen in regard to stock
feeding. Mr.. Paugh said that a neighbor OF
his was feeding bunch OF torty-five head
OF cattle this fall. Instead of feeding all
corn,as is usually the case in this country,
the gentleman was feeding six bushels Of
corn aud $50 pounds Of oil cake
per day He considered the oil cake
equivalent to twelve bushels Of corn. and
as the oil cake only costs sL0s per day and
corn costs 50 cents, there was a clear say
ing of S492 The cattle in question are
gaining one and one-half TO two pounds per
day, so it is evident they are doing as well
as If fed entirely on corn.

AVAILABLE DOG lost

Cash Henderson is all broken up over
the loss of his big English mastiff that
follows his delivery wagon everywhere
and that has been as familiar an object in
the streets as the balance of the turnout,
the looking glass, wagon boys and EnglO-
African included. The dog, it is supposed,
was either stolen or strayed. But what
ever befell him fifteen (Sl5) will be paid
for his return to the New York store
where there will be neither rest or sleep
until that dog puts in an appearance.

A WORD ABOUT BUSINESS.
The wichita Territory Better or Commercially
than Many Other Sections.

William Huttig and Robert Bryars of
Kansas City. and C. H. Huttig of St.
1 Louis, have spent the past few days look
ing after their interests here. They are
the proprietors of the Huttig Bros. & Co.
plant here and have very extensive inter
ests in Kansas City and St Louis and
other points. They say they are well
pleased with their Wichita investment,
the past years business having been very
satisfactory and they contemplate making
extensive improvements here within few
months. They think Wichita is bound to
| be large distributing center and the tenn
porary local inactivity in the building line
| is no discouraging feature. The location,
they say, of Wichita, gives 1t all the adj
vantages of the large distributing centers,
and the railroad facilities are also of great
Importance in assisting the natural adj
vantages of Wichita as a distributor.
| The opinion of these gentlemen
is certainly worthy OF the
greatest consideration, they are close
observers of conditions and affairs, and are
largely interested in the Third National
bank of st. Louis and the American Ma
tional bank OF Kansas City, two of the
strongest undnCldl enJcI pIISco III lAC NCSt-
The Huttig Bros. are young men and
have been actively identified with the bust
ness interests of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, river valleys for ten years. Mr.. +.
T. Logan and F. Huttig, Jr., have charge
of the Wichita plant and these gentlemen
are well known both in the business and
social circles of the city. They are per-
manently identified with the city and
such men as are indispensable in the make
up of a city of any commercial impor-
tance.
Mr.. c. H. Huttig, in referring to the
condition of business in the states reached
in his line of business, said the business
depression had been felt less by the Wich
tia plant than by any other of the seven
they have in operation, which being trans
lated from the commercial language into
plain American English means that the
territory reached by Wichita in CONNER
cial way had felt the depression less than
some other sections in the Mississippi val
ley This showing is certainly II most
satisfactory one and has a point TO 1t
which comedies with the views of many
Wichita business men who have recently
visited other towns and examined the
commercial situation.

Fourteen persons were admitted TO mem
bership in Olivet Congregational church
Sunday, all on confession of faith. Several
more will be received next Lords day. The
total number of members added 10 this
church since the beginning of the current
year is now fifty-twO. Two have been dis
missed by letter and one has been disci-
plined, making the total increase fifty.
The evening services are becoming very
interesting, and the congregations are
much larger than ever before. In the
meeting last evening after the sermon,
which was upon the gospel as the power Of
God unto salvation, some striking testi-
monies were given from personal expert
ence. One man confessed TO having been
filled with hatred toward another. even to
the point of contemplating murder, but
gratefully witnessed that the grace OF God
had saved him completely from his hatred.
In the past few weeks more than forty
persons have professed conversion in con-
nection with these meetings, eleven of
them being men heads Of families.
