A Plesant Entertainment.

| A 1rleSant Entcrta1mlmCnt.
 The entertainment last evening
 at the Methodist church drew packed
 house." The new paper, new car. pet and lavish display of flowers and multitude of pretty children, created the impression that one was in fairy land. There were many incidents of the evening which were pleasing, but lack of space will not allow extended mention.
 The programme was one which
 was in no sense dry one and Rev Downs did his part to create smile when the proper time arrived, and so the two hours were spent, one minute with lump in the throat and the next disappearing in a flood of laughter.
 "What's the news?" by the Sunday school class was rendered in manner as only little tots can sing.
 "The new church organ by Besse Sharkey was delivered in a style which shows natural talent which Miss Bessie has many times proved, was born with her.
 A quartette by members of the quoir caused many to forget them selves and applaud vigorously which was checked by the pastor who dis countenanced it.
 "Buttermilk Joe," recitation by Miss Lola Hoxhurst, brought tears to many eyes. It was pleasing part of the evenings exercises.
 "The Pilgrims company" a solo by Mamie Meagher, was given in her usual clear and pleasing manner.
 Miss Mamie Roath gave a recitation entitled "The Rock of Ages" in which the singing of strains of this beautiful piece were rendered in rich melod- ious voice full of feeling which as- tonished all who had not previously heard the young lady sing.
 A solo by Fred Hererra, Sweet Spirit hear my Prayer" was fully up to expectations. Every one expects superhuman of MT Herrera and they were not disappointed.
 A vocal duet by Mrs. Kieke and her sister Miss Nettie Rafferty was a charming part of the exercises. Those who had not previsously heard them sing together, were most agreeably 
 "At the Fountain" by the Sunday school class preceded duet by Mrs. Downs and Miss Hulda Howell en- tiled "The Sheperds Voice." They were entitled to all the praise bestow- ,d upon their successful effort.
 A duet by Gertrude Whitney and Nollie Bauer, entitled Softly and renderly" was a very pretty and ex. 'eedingly well executed vocal gem.

A BAD Blunder.

Abner Dungrass, from away up be-
yond the White Mountains, had pene-
trated to the Hub. 1t was Abner's
first visit to the city-in fact. his first
trip away from home. says the New
York Ledger.
A relative, doing business in the
metropolis, had spent the previous
summer with Abner's parents, and in
return for many kindnesses, he had
invited his friends of the country
farm to visit him in his city home.
And thus Abner CHANGED to be in
Boston. and was now dining at hotel
with his host.
At first our countryman hardly
knew what to do with himself at the
wonderously laden table. His rela-
tive, observing his hesitation, whis-
pered to him:
"Don't be backward, Abner, help
yourself to just what you like"
BY and by d gentleman sitting op-
posite directed waiter to bring him
plate of ice cream.
The cream was brought and the
gentleman set it down before him
while he finished dish OF scallops.
Abner looked up and saw the delicate
looking mass in the plate not far
away. 1t was tempting, and he
reached forth and took it. He had
put spoonful of the frozen mixture
into his mouth, and was hesitatine
between surprise and delight whe "a
the gentleman opposite rather ab-
ruptly and not very pleasantly spoke:
We'll my friend that is what
should call decidedly COOL"
"Yaas," responded Abner, inno-
ceutly. when he had swallowed the
frigia morsel 'It's about the cool
est pudd'n ever tasted. I swan tew

Leaders In Professional Education.

In the matter OF the higher educa-
tion OF women. says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat the southern uni
versities are taking the lead. A letter
from Miss Marion l.. Pnynes, .of the
Hollins Institute, Virginia, ought to
make New York colleges ashamed by
the contrast of their bacliwardness.
And at Baltimore the trustees of the
Johns Hopkins University has &C.
cepted a fund Of $50, 600 on condition.
that women are to be admittcl to the
medical school. Mrs. Douglas Gordon,
Mrs. Henry Winter Davis and Miss
Mary Garret were mainly instrumental
in carrying the acceptance OF this
fund. An effort is to be made by
southern women TO accomplish the
same results in New York colleges OF
medicine, and its success may be dis
counted, for the southern ladies who
have undertaken 1t are famous for
their persistence and enthusiasm.

Col. Plummer's Opinion.

Alexander Mckenzie has more interests
IN North Dakota--real and substantial
possessions--t than all those little crea-
lures who talk about eliminating him
from the business and politics of the
state. And he has done more for North
Dakota than all of them put together
North Dakota Republican.
Of course he has, Colonel and no man
in the state has come in contact with
more rank ingratitude and received more
abuse from thwarted pin.he than he,
and yet his political success working
for his friends, Of course--has been prac"
tically unbroken. The reason. Colonel,
that even in his absence, journalistic
crablice of the Mofit stripe are unable to
do him much harm on the Missouri Slope
is this: All through the slope counties
the farmers know that Mckenzie has,
on more than one occasion, assisted agri-
cultural settlers greatly. They know that
it was at his request that the Northern
Pacific advanced seed grain to needy
farmers in '86 and the people have heard
that he staked farmers of Burleigh
county who were hard up for seed grain,
year ago, to the extent of several theu~
sand dollars. 1t may be that at the Bur-
leigh county election last fall he helped
out the political farmers" of our sister
county somewhat. Rumor says so but,
he was in conflict with an opposition
that bought everything purchasable in
sight. He may have paid the election
expenses of needy aspirants for nomina-
tions to the state senate who claimed pri-
vate grievances against Pierce and who
afterward supported him; but McKen.

newspapers and sent emissaries with

Ohio, and the RECORD heartily lndorses
the good wishes therein expressed

the young couple repaired to Mrs. Ogle' 8

An African Orgy

A fantastic orgy was witnessed at
the town of Loongi, tho capital OF
Bullion, west coast of Africa, by a
party of officers from the West India
regiment Quartered at Sierra Leone.
The people OF Loongi are Mohamme-
dams, but the dancing devil himself is

and 90 also probably is the dance
itself. 1t takes place in the court
yard of the chiefs premises. which is
entered through q circular hut. The
scene which presents itself to any one
coming suddenly out OF the darkness
into the noise and glare is decidedly
uncanny.
In the center of circle which fills
the courtyard the devil. with an Or

An Ancient Vehicle.

The old-time buggy has been called
into sudden demand again. says the
New York World. The wheels are
painted yellow, the body is unusually
increased IN size and IL team of light
red horses are docked and harnessed
far up on the pole. 1t presents an
entirely ditferent"appearance from the
old-time road wagon. Westchester
