watermelons except along the banks of the
Danube, where the peasants are no better
lodged and no better fed than those of
Chill. All this say not In dispraise of
the CHILEAN 'peones." On the contrary,
| am convinced that they are fire fellows
In their way and splendid workers, e;peci-
ally by the piece. No Europeans can sur
pass them In strength and endurance.
Above all, no Europeans could exist in the
same conditions of Authorization and habi-
tation. In Chill the ''peones" live literal
ly like pigs. both in the country and in the
town regardless of hygiene or even the
most ordinary sanitary precautions. The
consequence In that infant mortality is
great; the infants die like flies, and those
who survive are the strongest and the ft-
test. This rural and urban working popC-
lation is ignorant, though not unintelli-
gent; the ''peones' can rarely read or
write, but that natural talent for imita-
ton, and when once they have been shown
how to do thing they will 90 on doing it;
thus they learn few lessons to manage
agricultural machinery, and when they
have once learned they do not forget. As
for morality, it is to be feared that they
have but little. They are not afraid of
death themselves, and have not much re-
spect for the life of others, and both men
and women alike appear to have inherited
a fair dose of superstition and many queer
beliefs from their Indian ancestors together
with a number OF silly remedies The
women, hen they have headache, paste
rounds of paper on their temples, or the
pip of a watermelon. If they feel any
thing the matter with their eyes they will
plaster their cheeks over with leaves. In
deed, you rarely see woman who has not
something stuck on her face. All these
defects. all these superstitions, and all this
neglect of the laws of hygiene President
Balmaceda hopes to eradicate by educa-
ton, and therefore, we see, not without
surprise, in rustic townships like Traigu-
en-, fine school-houses beng built at a
cost of $50, 900, before there is yet a single
brick house within the district This
policy of building schools and promoting
education is being actually carried on
throughout Chill. Wherever you go you
see fine school being built, and at no
great distance froneit an equally fine new
prison, and the chances are that the cells
of the latter will be filed sooner than the
classroom of the former However, the
education of the masses has been one of
the great cards Of modern repubIicanism
In Europe and In the United States, and
it is therefore not astonishing to find i'm
itative Chill following in the wake, per-
haps little hastily and little blindly.

A PRETTY SURPRISE.
How the Emperor Delighted the Arch
duchess Valerie.

duchess Valerie.
London News
A surprise which was prepared by the
Emperor and Empress for the Archduchess
Valerie on the eve of her wedding is now
being talked of in Vienna. Our CORES
pondent there tells US that Baron Bezecnv.
the director of the court theatres, was
asked to invite famous Vienna quartet 10
come to Ischel on July 30, and to tell no
one OF their coming. From this station
they were taken to the house of the master
of cermoneies, put into room alone, and
given four copies OF love song and az
compartment. This song, which bore
neither the name Of the poet nor the COM
poser, they were asked to study. An
ample repast was served them and they
were directed to remain there until sent
for. At night when the fires on the noun
tains were extinguished and the moon
shone bright over wood and hills, they
were led to the imperial villa and placed
under a group of trees opposite the front
terrace. At a signal agreed upon they
were to begin their song. They heard
talking In the apartment which opens out
upon the balcony. Presently the Empress
appeared with her arm around her daugh-
ter. Close behind them followed the
Emperor with the bridegroom. As they
stood silent ON the balcony. gazing at the
beautiful scenery. Prince Hohenlohe gave
his signal, and from beneath the trees
rose sweetly the notes of the tender love
song, the words and the music which had
been composed by the young bride. Her
eyes overfowed with grateful tears as she
looked from her father to her mother
The Emperor afterwards went below and
gave each singer handsome diamond
scarf-pin, thanking them at the same
time for their rendering of the song.

How strange it will be!


How strange it will be, love-how strange, when
meet
With Just chill touch of the hand!
When my pulses no longer delightedly beat,
AT the thought of your coming, the sound ofyopr
feet
When watch not your going, far down the long
street:
When your dear, loving voice. now so thrillingly
sweet
Grows harsh in reproach command
All! me,
How strange it will be.
How strange it will be, when we willingly stay
Divided the weary day through!
Or, greeting remotely apart as we may,
Sit chilly and silent, with nothing to say,
Or coldly converse on the news of the day.
In wearisome, old married-folks sort of way!
shrink from the picture-don't you?
All me,
How strange it will be-
Dear love, if our hearts do grow torpid and old,
As many others have done
Ii we let our love perish with hunger and cold,
If we dim all life's diamonds, and tarnish its
gold,
If we choose to live wretched, and die uncon-
soled.
Twill be strangest of all things that ever were
told
As happening under the sun!
All! me,
How strange it will be!

True Economy in the Household.

True Economy in the Household.
True economy does not lie in overmuch
saving. The thrift that ellis attics and
closets and storerooms with t,off cloth
ing, dislocated furniture, odds and ends
of stuff of all varities is not economy at
all, but extravaganza and waste. The only
mission of things in this tran
STORY world is to be of service to people
and the power Of rendering service de-
ponds ON conditions. 1t is wasteful and
useless for the city woman, whose gowns
are all made by fashionable and expens-
i've modiste, to put 10y half-worn dresses
with view to their being made over
again. The expense OF their being ripped
apart, pressed or cleansed, and sufficiently
freshened to be available in a combina-
ton with new material, will quite equal
that OF getting new goods to begin with,
to say nothing of the trouble involved. At
the same time, such dresses given to wo-
men who can do the work for themselves
will hold some value, and that is truly
wise economy which places things where
they will do somebody some good There
is a very wide gulf fixed between this
careful and thorough attention to details,
seeing that nothing is really wasted, but
goes where 1t can be OF service to some
one, with out meanness or nlggardness.
Lydia Child, who SOMETHING'S wrote to
her friends on the backs of old envelopes,
was never unable or unwilling to assist
those who needed assaistances. AS Emer-
son said of Alcott, "He was rich because
he was always able to help some ore
poorer than himself 1t is very easy
matter for the wealthy woman to subscribe
generously on public subscription lists
and costs far less than does often the con
tinued and perpetual thoughtfulness
the poor woman who is unable to eve
give anything of special significance at
any one time, but who, nevertheless,
meets many daily needs of those lmnedi
ately about her. A lady whose large pos
sessions and generous thoughtfulness
scenes almost equal, remarked recently
that she had not a stOreroom In her house;
every scrap and object of any kind left
over In her household, from clothing to
furniture, or kitchen utensils, was at
once placed where it would do some good.
A chair or couch grown too shabby for her
beautiful rooms was given to the family
whom ii would we'll serve, and skillful
fingers could repair, or renew 1t and make
1t valuable adjunct to the furniture. So
with household linen, and thousand
things all the time accumulatlng In an
elaborate and luxurious house. Here was
true md wise economy. There are hun
dreds of households where attics and
storerooms are crowded with things that
are of no earthly use, or will ever be to the
possessor's which attracts moths and in
sects, and are the burden of the semi-an-
nual house cleaning: but which, if they
had been given away at their freshest and
best, might easily have served some pur-
pose well. To hoard and store is the re-
verse of true economy.-American Gull
tivator.

WHO AND WHAT IS CLEVELAND?

labor, etc.
WHO AND WHAT Is CLEVELAND?
He is man who has never shown one
atom of sympathy with American labor or
desire for the advancement or encourage
ment Of American manufactures or other
industries
An implacable enemy of the working
man. The labor associations of New
York urged the abolition of convict labor,
a majority of 10000 votes sustaining
their wishes. Cleveland's influence as
governor was thrown against the passage
of statute to carry into effect the express
ed will of the people.
The Legislature of New York passed a
bill reducing the fare to five cents on the
elevated railways in New York, so largely
patronized by laboring men going to and
from their work. Cleveland vetoed it. 1t
is claimed that this was done in the inter
est of Tilden, heavy stakeholder In the
roads
A bill was passed to prevent orphan and
other children of tender years in the
charitable institutions from being let out
to be worked in gangs like state prison
convicts. Cleveland vetoed it.
The bill passed to cut down pilots fees
he approved, as it was favorable to foreign
shipowners whose vessels so largely enter
into and depart from the port of New
York
A bill to tax each engineer 50 he ap-
proved, because it was tax on labor.
The civil service bill met his approval
because It's provisions were calculated to
prevent workingmen from obtaining an
Office and was favorable to the chances of
college and university graduates and dudes
generally.
He vetoed bill that would have limit
ed the labor of car drivers and conductors
to twelve hours day.
He vetoed the lien law that would have
secured the wages of laborers and me-
chani3s.
A man so utterly void of sympathy with
and so uniformly hostile to the interests
and welfare of the working classes is not
fit for president of the United States. The
laboring men of the country ought never to
put him in power"

fail to remember that the immense profits
referred to were realized ''apart from the

A young republican, writes, ''some of
the workingmen here are being told by
democratic orators that Cleveland was al
ways the friend of American labor Our
republican friends deny it and claim that
ne was one of the worst enemies to Ameri-
can aborine men that ever held high
place in this country. What is the fact?"
The following, prepared with great care in
1884, is strictly truthful. It shows up Mr..
Cleveland's conduct relative to American
labor etc

TIN WHISTLE INITAT0Rs.

THE usurpations and farcical pro-
ceedings that characterized the
actions of the Salt Lake City regis
trars is being duplicated in Logan
the fair city Of Northern Utah. &
G. Goodwin, in whom seems TO DC
concentrated the great burden oil
governmental authority, is the ap-
pointee of the Commission for regs-
trar of Cache county. Mr.. Nelson
is registrar for Logan city.
The Illegal and high-handed Pro-
eesses by which the names OF -Peo-
pies Party electors were stricken
from the lists in thiscity are being
acted upon in that municipality
also. In Salt Lake City hundreds
of victims were summoned to appear
before the the registrars that the
latter might decile whether they
should be permitted to vote. That is
to say, whether the registraTs-who
were candidates on the "Liberal''
tlcket-would allow the cited cleo
tors to cast their ballots against
then,. Registrar Nelson, who is
sIiberal'' candidate on the Logan
City ticket of that party, also occu-
pies the position Of supreme judge
in the same way.
There is an additional feature in
the Logan parody on fairness that
gives it special spice. U. S. Com
missioner-Registrar Goodwin is as
well n candidate on the ticket on
which Nelson's name appears. The
way they run the striking-of bust
