A Curious Place.

W. E. Baker. the late sewing ma
chine millionaire, had curious con-
ceits in regard to the arrangement of
his private grounds. His place at
Wellesley, Mass, in the matter of the
grounds, particularly, is a curiosity.
Everywhere on the premises the visitor
is confronted with some ingenious
piece of extravaganza. Here in the
pathway is a concealed platform which.
as you step upon it, swings and sends
you a-lurching; there is an inviting
chair in front of towering cactus, and
when you take a seat to inspect the
cactus, the plant sinks out of sight and
in its place springs up wooden devil,
painted red, and grinning in your face.
There are dozens of grotesqueries of
this kind which suggest the M echanism
of Humpty Dumpty rather than the
arrangement of a gentleman's private
lawn.

Lifting the Hat.

The custom of lifting the hat had its
origin when knights never appeared in
public except in full armor. but upon
entering an assembly of friends the
knight removed his helmet, the act
signifying, Il am safe in the presence
of nv friends"

Got Senarated.

The GOODNESS of Florida couple who
lost their little boy while on trading
expedition to a neighboring town is
something remarkable. The Wild Wood
Courier relates that NJ. S. Hill, wife and
little boy came to that place on a recent
Saturday to do little trading. The boy
got separated from his parents, who quite
forgot him, and after finishing their shop
ping started off in their wagon for home.
They did not realize that they had for
gotten anything until they had got about
half way home, when they began to look
about to see what they had forgot
ten. They were satisfied that they had
left something, but for the life of them
they could not think what it was, until
all at once it dawned upon them that they
had left their little boy. After thinking
the matter over for some time they de-
cided that they would not go back after
after him. Mr.. Hill, says the Courier,
came in town one day this week and
found the little one all right and carried
him home.

In the warm foothill belt of the Sierra
Nevada, Where years ago the only indus
try was mining, horticulture is now rap
idly coming to the front The Marys-
vile DEMOCRAT is informed by James
O'Brien. Jr. of Smartsviile-the once rich
hydraulic mining ground in the Yuba
County foothills-that that locality had
sent p 900 oranges to exhibit at the State
Citrus Far.
WHO ever dreamed" remarked that
paper, '.that this old mining camp had
been turned into n land Of flowers and
fruit? This fair will demonstrate that as
fine oranges can be grown in our foot
hills as in the, oldest of the groves in
Southern California. They are now ripe
and yellow, and luscious. and will be
sure to attract the eye of all visitors. The
pick and shovel now finds q genial com
panion in the golden orange that grows
in this famous old foothilI region But
Smartsville shall not receive all the

Hor-TEMpERED FOLLY.

Some of our Southern contemporaries
are making asses of themselves. Exhibi-
tons of temper in discussing national
affairs are childish. But any utterance
calculated to set the people into rage
against each other is an offense against
the Republic, and ought to be condemned
in the severest manner.
Here, for instance, is the Memphis
Appeat-AUoldnche, in treating of the pro-
posed cloture in the Senate, saying:
The response of the South to the coture
resolution should be an appeal to arms There
lSa limit to the patience OF freemen. Thrt
limit is reached when political injustice
trenches upon the sanctity of the home, makes
Inockery of loyalty to country, challenges the
patriotic aspirations of a people, scorns the
truth, and procaims ali end of liberty. Force
should meet force.
Could anything be more foolish Il an
such an outburst? If the Senate had
adopted the resolution the good citizen,
however much he disagreed with the
policy, would submit to the law, and not
entertain thought of revolt.
Here, too, is the Vicllsburg Herald,
declaring that the passage of the resolu-
ton would be met by refusal to pass any
appropriation bill, SO far as Democratic
votes were concerned. More bitter in
expression, but milder in the remedy
suggested, is the voice of the Nashville
american:
We will defeat the rage of the partisan
wolves howling for the blood of the South
without having TO fight for the protection of
our homes. a few festered malignants, stewed
in their own venom and exuding from every
pore the poison of their hate; Il few greedy
cormorants who wish to paralyze power
which stands in the way of their selfish de-
signs; a number of servile followers of both
classes who get their opinions as they get their
orders from their maSterS-these are now in
control of the Congress of the United States.
All which shames journalism, disgraces
| citizenship, and degrades the very name
of American. Nobody is thirsting for
the blood of the people of any section of
the country. Congress is not vampire
| seeking the veins of the people of the
South; there is no desire to stir up strife
or war. If any attempt it they will feel
the power of the people of the Union with
crushing force.
| We are not at all displeased that the
Senate has set back the Federal election
| bill. 1t was wise to do as has been done,
in the present state of the pulse of the
South. But all such intemperate express
sion as we have quoted is disgraceful.
We are unwilling to believe that it is
justified by the thinking people of the
South; unwilling to believe that such
hot-tempered and silly press vituperation
voices their sentiments.

BoULANGER has written another letter
to the French press. 1t was wise in the
General to let the world know that he
still lives. For so little does it concern
itself about him that unless he frequently
calls attention to himself he will be
counted among the dead. The General is
misfit man in French politics, and no

HOPEFUL SPOTS.

The impression that efforts to extend
the right of suffrage among the women
had about been abandoned is not quite
supported by the most patent facts.
There is less disposition to insist upon
the entire disregard of sex in the mat
ter, as the fruitage promised that sweep
ing demand is not encouraging. The
capture by attachments aud partial
stages now engages the attention of
those who have, perhaps, profited by
experience. For instance, in New York
the immediate demand is for suffrage
only for those women who can swear
that they are obliged to support them
selves entirely. This does not quite
suit some of the married ladies who
work long days and seven of them each
week to keep the household in oper
alton, with no pay other than feeding
and clothes. They think they are self
supporting and somewhat more. In
New York $4,000 women are said to
support husbands. If the family staff
is entitled to the ballot only the hus-
bands should be cut off. In Kansas the
iQl SCl liOtiOC VI lllO ICS ioluGuIO IlnO
passed bill giving the women all the
opportunities possessed by the men to
vote and hold office. But the senate is
an old fogy hOld-over body and insists
that the pace must be slower. 1t says
the women already have the ballot in
all municipal elections, and can hold
every office in sight in the municipality.
Some of the cities have female mayors
and city fathers or mothers, and con-
stabulary elements. 1t is not denied
that these have officiated with grace
and amiability. but this stupid old SEN
ate is likely to stand in the path of Kan
SaS progress. 1t is relic that will be
put among the debris of political things
in the revolution in that state. 1t would
be great advertisement for Kansas if
the ouse could have its way in this,
and the path be opened for ladies
to become governors, Judges, senators
and all the conspicuous things. That
national council of women devSing
good things at Washington would dis
solve and hasten to share the new free
dom. The gentle danes, WILLARD,
ANTHONY, STANTON, Rev. ANNA
SHAW and others, would feel that their
jubilee era was at hand. There is no
state so we'll adapted to experimental
operations on this line as Kansas.
Wyoming is too small and obscure to
amount TO anything as an example.
Possibly concentration of effort may yet
wrench some OF the bourbanism out of
that senate. Nothing that is erratic and
irldiscent should be regarded as hope
less in Kansas
