Flung 1t At the Baron.

Shortly before the New Orleans kill
ing Lieutenant Lucian Young, of the
navy, was stationed in Washington,
and one day he had business with the
Italian minister. The minister treated
him rudely, and the Kentuckian, grow
ing indignant, took up the papers
about which he had gone to the leea-

ter's face. The baron complained to
the state department, but after full
investigation the lieutenant was sus-
tanned by both Secretary Blaine and
Secretary Tracy.

us; it is that the most highly developed organisms of one age are the average or ganism of the next. We may know in general way what the average woman of the future will be by looking at the most highly and completely developed women of the present time. And I can give no better advice to those who are apprehen- sive of evil consequences from the ad- vancement of women than to remember this maxim.
 A forecast in outline can give you in the words of two prophets, a man and 8 woman. Years ago at the height of his powers Tennyson wrote thus, and though the words be familiar to you they are none the worse for repetition: "The woman's cause is mans, they rise
 or sink
 Together, dwarfed or Godlike, bond or
 free:
 For she that out of Lethe scales with man The shining steps of Nature, shares with His nights, his days, moves with him to
 one goal,
 Stays all the fair young planets in her hands
 If she be small, slight-natured miserable How shall men grow? "'As far as in us lies We too will serve them both in aiding Will clear away the parasitic forms That seem to keep her up, but drag her Will leave her space to burgeon out of all Within her-let her make herself her own | To give or keep, to live and learn and be l All that not harms distinctive womanhood. "'For woman is not undeveloped man, But diverse: could we make her as the man, Sweet love were slain his dearest bond is this. Not like to like, but like in difference. I Yet in the long years liker must they grow: l He gain in sweetness and in moral height l Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the world: She mental breadth, nor fail in childward care, l Nor lose the childlike in the larger mind 1 Till at last she set herself to man l Like perfect music unto noble words: And so these twain upon the skirts oi Time
 Sit side by side, full summed in all theil powers, | Dispensing harvest, sowing the to-be, Self-reverent each, and reverencing each Distinct in individualities, But like each other even as those who l love.
 Then comes the statelier Eden back tt men:
 Then reign the worlds great bridals | chaste and calm:
 Then springs the crowning race of human | kind'"
 And last year woman, Olive Schreiner one of the greatest women of our owl literary epoch, dreamed dream and wrot it. will quote the last sentences
 "I dreamed I saw land, and on tn hills walked brave women and brave men hand ia haaad and they looked into eac others eyes and were not afraid. And saw the ao0nae7a Gls0 hold e1Sh 0tlter's hG1,ds
 ss"And I said to him beside me, 'Wha place is this ?
 "And he said, This is heaven.'
 "I said, Where is it?'
 "He said, On earth
 And I said, When shall these thing be?'
 "And he answered, "In the future.' -UnSon Sig7sdl.

(For The Press.) AT CEDAR MOUNTAIN.

My arm? II lost it at Cedar Mountain i; An, little one, that was fearful fight, For brave blood flowed like summer s fountain,.
 And the cannon roared till the fall of
 might. Nay, nay, your question has done no
 harm dear, Though it woke for a moment thrill
 8, of pain, For whenever look at my stump of an
 arm here, l seem to be living that day again. A cloud of sulphurous haze hung o'er us, As prone we lay in the trampled mire !; Shells burst above us, and right before us - A rebel battery belched forth fire. All at once to the front our colonel gal
 loped, g His form through the smoke looking
 dim and large.- You see that battery, boys,' he shouted !; We're ordered to take it, = ready !
 charge" What thrill felt as the word was given :; At once to his feet each soldier leaped, One long, wild shout went up to heaven, Then down on the foe like the wind we
 swept. Each fought that day for his country's
 honor;
 We gained the edge of slippery bank, I drove from his post rebel gunner, And then the rest is perfect blank. What need to tell of the days that follow

 Each dragging painfully, slowly by, snd I,xyv, r,f Toln Hfnn They sent me home as they thought to die. My sire was dead, and my own loved
 mother
 Was wasting away with toll and care; I'd little sister and feeble brother, And IT could be but burden there. And so this peddler's trunk bought me, Filled it with needles, pins, tape and
 thread,- Housewives stores, as my mother taught
 me,
 And.I sell them to win my daily bl cad When the frost on the fields lies still and
 hoary, ...
 My way through the village streets

EXPERIMENTING CANADA THIS
 TIES.

From the experience obtained and from other information gained the agricultural experiment station of the university of H. linois formulates the following as the best method of exterminating Canada missiles when these pests are in full pos- session of tillable grounds: Cut the this ties when in full bloom (July) as close to the ground as possible. Flow about three inches deep and SOW millet or Hun garian grass, seeding heavily and harrow ing. This may follow the preceding at once or after some two weeks delay. In September blow under the crop or save it for hay, as desired. At all events blow and seed liberally with rye. Flow under the rye in May and seed again with millet or Hungarian grass, or plant to some hood crop corn and give the most thor ough cultivation, with continued search ing for and destruction of every remain ing thistle. Continue the clean cultiva- tion and sharp lookout for thistles anoth- CT year.
 An infected spot of blue grass sod of about eight rods in area was cleared of the pest without blowing by simply cut ting off the plants at ol just beneath the surface of the ground with hoe. Be- ginning June IF, 1889, this was carefully done once each week until Sept. 23 of the same year. No count was made of the plants first cut, but the 107 plants cut Aug. 12 decreased to twenty-six at the September cutting. During the summer of 1890 the spot was similarly treated the first of each month (once month only) from May to November. The number of thistles found and cut off each time were in order as follows: 1, 3, 1, o, 1, o, which closed the experiments.
 "A very striking peculiarity in the de- velopment of the plant in Illinois and the adjoining region," says T. J. Burrill, pro- lessor of botany and horticulture at the station, lis that it rarely produces seed. Nowhere is the weed more vigorous in it's growth, and nowhere does it spread more rapidly through the soil by its subterran- can root stocks, and nowhere are flowers more abundantly formed, but for some unknown reason seed capable of germi- mating is almost never developed in Ohio, Indiana or Illinois, except in certain re- stricted areas"

THE TOUGH AND THE DUDE.

Probably one of the most surprised bull lies that ever attempted to make game of man now nurses a black eye and a broken nose down on the South Side, where he lives. He was standing in the doorway of Grand avenue store few nights since talking with another tough man and leering at every man and woman that chanced to pass that way, when un- der the electric light which bids the weary | wayfarer welcome in front of the Plank to call dude coming in their direction smoking 8 cigar.
 Dye see ther dude comin', Nisby?" he said to his companion.
 "Yes, an I tink it's dirty shame dat he is spoilin' dat nice cigar when he is only fit to smoke cigarettes"
 "Dat's fact, me boy, an Pm blamed if intend to stand it. Seer"
 "What you going to do about it?" "Just watch me an if I don't have dat cigar inside of a minute den I'll eat me 1 hat, dat's all."
 As the young man drew near the bully stepped from the door, and, approaching the unsuspecting pedestrian, said:
 Say, me lad, let me take your cigar, will your"
 The young man, thinking that the fell low desired a light, knocked the ashes of his weed and handed it to the stranger, who, with smile, placed it between his teeth.
 "What do you mean by that?" asked the astonished young fellow, as he saw the use his cigar had been put to.
 "Oh! dat's all right, bub," said the tough man; "dis is pleasant little way dat have when time hangs heavily on my hands. Run on home now, or your mother will be worried, seer"
 'Yes, I think that see," replied the young man, as he stepped up in front of the loafer, "but, strange as it may seem, my mother is not in the habit of getting worried, and there is no occasion of my shortening my stay with you. Besides, I, too, have pleasant little way of my own to pass away the time when the same hangs heavily upon my hands. It is something like this'- l In another moment the bully was stretched out on the sidewalk with one eye closed, and when he arose blow or the bridge of his nose once more laid hin out The young man whom he had sizee up as dude turned out to be one of tn, crack boxers in the gymnasium.

He cites the most recent conclusions of the great est naturalists as wholly favorable. to the modern movement.
