WA SHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Aug. 5, 1890
The President returned to Wash.
ington Wednesday afternoon, but
he expects to leave tomorrow foi
Boston to take part in the annual
encampment of the q. "A. Il.
1t had been semi-offi an
nounced that Secretary Blaine would
come back with the President, but
for some reason the programme was
changed and Mr.. Blaine went to
New York.
1t is understood that an agreement
was reached as to the recommends
tions which the President should
make in special message to Con.
gress concerning reciprocity and
that the message will shortly be
sent in.
The Senate today, according to
agreement, put aside the tariff bill
and took up the River and Harbor
bill. The bill has several very i'm
portant amendments including one
providing for the erection of an
additional lock in the Sault Ste
Marie canal, and Speaker Reed has
promised delegation of Senators
from the northwest that he will not
antagonizu that amendment when
the bill goes back to the House.
This was quite concession on the
part of Mr., Reed, who had previously
been opposed to this legislation, and

HENRY c. PAYNE, Chairman.
w. A. NOVEL;, Secretary.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1890-08-14
Considera ton Extra ordinary.

The State Journal reports an in.
terview with II. G. Payne, from
which it is to be inferred that Mr..
Payne regards himself as already
reelected chairman Of the State
Central Committee. He is reported
as saying:-
81 expect large number of good
speakers from other states, If con-
gress adjourns in time to make 1t
possible for members of that body
to take part. The issue made by
the opposition to the school law has
created an active interest in the
Wisconsin campaign in all parts of
the United States, and many able
political orators have expressed a
willingness to assist in winning a
magnificent victory for the republic
can party on the issIlc of the right
and necessity of giving every child
in the state an English education.
AT present, owing to the uncertainty
of the time of the adjournment of
congress, would prefer not to give
the names of those members who
have promised to come, if possible.
But | have promise from one gen
tleman, not a member of congress
ex.Gov. Golf, of West Virginia, who
has promised to lend his services to
the work. Then there will be 10
lack of "home talent" of Wisconsin
speakers, and the state will be thor
oughly canvassed. Although the
campaign will be conducted, to a
larger extent than ever before, upon
the state issues, there will be GER
tain amount OF discussion of issues
of uotioual moment, and the distri-
button of tariff literature will be
widespread, The campaign will be
an energetic one throughout. Head
CHARTERS will not be opened until
after the convention"
Many republicans, in their inno-
cence imagined that an important
duty of the state convention would
be either to re-elect Mr.. Payne to the
position of chairman or to select
some one else for that place. 1t is
very considerable in him To have re-
lieved the party of that duty, and
to so promptly inform US of the fact;
to tell us what his plans for the cam
paign are; that "Headquarters will
not be opened until after the con.
vention,' NC. His enthusiasm for
the principles of the Bennett Law,
though late, is pleasing, and indi-
Gates that our worthy chairman has
more judgment than the bovine who
thought himself strong enough to
throw the locomotive off the track.

KEMMLER, the New York murder.

KEMMLER, the New York murder
er, was killed by eleotrocution at
Auburn, New York, at 6:4O o'clock
Wednesday morning the 9th. The
first attempt proved a failure, for
after the application of 1900 volts
of electricity, for Is seconds, the
condemned man moved convulsively
and gasped. The current was again
applied and left on for over four
minutes, when the spectators were
Mortified by the smell of burning
flesh. The apparatus was again re-
moved, ana the victim pronounced
dead. The scene is said to have
been most horrible, and many are
of the opinion that there will never
be another execution by this method.

A Plain Lesson.

The late Archdeacon Allen, OF
Salop, once gave a very plain lesson
that "God loveth a Cheerful giver,"
which deserves to be remembered.
A church was to be erected, and dona.
tons toward the building of it were
promised by various people, among
whom was a nObleman, who failed.
however. to fulfil the engagement
when the time came for payment.
Letters were sent to him on the sub.
ject, but brought no reply. The
archdeacon resolved on a personal in
terview, and after some difficulty Sc.
cured admission to the defaulter's
house. He repeated his request for
the promised subscription, but the
nobleman demurred. At last Mr..
Allen said, swell. my lord, 1 hold
your written engagement and shall
put you into the county court and
compel you to meet it," Finding
his visitor was in earnest, the noble.
man at last drew out his check book
and handed Mr.. Allen the promised
donation. The archdeacon took the
check, tore it into pieces, and threw
them into the fire. saying that his
lordship had certainly redeemed his
word, but he must decline the money,
for God loved cheerful giver. To
the credit of the nobleman be it said
that he subsequently renewed his
gift, and in spirit that left no
ground for rejecting it. Let the
church take higher ground in the
matter of giving than it ordinarily
does. and much goDd will follow

A Sensible Recipe.

A New York newspaper offered a
prize to the person who would give
the best answer to the question.
"What Shall We do with Our Girls?'
Hundreds OF persons entered the con-
test, which was decided by Madame
Albini, the famous soDgstress. She
awarded the prize to the author of the
following recipe:
The foundation of society rests on
its homes. The success Of our homes
rests on the wives. Therefore first
of all, teach our girls how to be sue
cessful wives. Begin in their infan-
cy to develope their characters.
Teach them that jealousy is an i'm
mortality. and gossip vice. Train
them to keep the smallest promise as
sacredly as all oath, and to speak of
people only as they would speak to
them. Teach them to look for the
best quality in every one they meet,
and to notice other peoples faults
only to avoid them.
Train them to do small things well u,
and to delight in helping others. and
iustill constantly into their minds
the necessity for sacrifice for others,
pleasure as means of soul develop
ment.
Once given a firm foundation OF
character like this. which the poorest
as well as the richest parents can give
to their girls, and no matter what
necessity arises they will be able to
rise above it.
Teach them the value OF making
themselves attractive by good health,
physical development, neat dress,
and perfect cleanliness. The worthy
woman mnst learn that her worth
alone will not keep her husband in
love with her. She must be as &C.
complished. as amiable, as liberal
minded. as tactful, as agreeable as
her less worthy rivals. She must
make home the most delightful spot
on earth. and herself the most attract
i've woman as we'll as the WOrthieSt.
Unselishness. perseverance, patience,
and cheerfulness, must be her con-
slant aids, and above all. tact.

II is evident from the noise AMI
gossip, and from what is actually
bein. done in railroad circles, that
in a short while, perhaps not two
wears distant, there will I've two or
more railroads projected from
some point North of this towards
the Gulf. 1t will be seen from an
extract copied elsewhere in this
paper from the Little Rock Re
publican, that a company has al
ready been duly organized and
chartered under the laws of ar
kansas styled the Camden, Louis

The object Of this company is to
build from Camden through
North Louisiana towards the Gulf.
All arrangements necessary to the
building of this road, except 10
agree on the exact course, have,
