hornet Border Ruffian, made little cloud
of dust, and, as the echo of the big gun
died away, swift IS TIE telegram raising
the salary of the operators along the line,
he sped toward the Sierras.
All won't well. The first rider made
twenty miles in forty-nine minutes. Every
thing ran smoothly, Notwithstanding the
Indians and the deserts, till the courier
reached the Platte. 1t was case of Damon
and Pythias, so far as high water went,
and the treacherous river was more than
bank full of icy water rushing over its un-
easy bed of quicksand.~ He only thought OF
his employers, however, and plunged in.
The steed went down like a sh t and was
never more seen, but the brave rider, with
his bag, battled with the roaring, icy tor
rent till he stepped, painting and dripping,
on the muddy shere, and with chattering
teeth and staggering gait started for the
station ten miles away.
Sixty miles out from st. Joe, Johnny Fry
awaited the arrival Of the courier till it
seemed to him it was too late to possibly
make it. When he got his packet he had
four hours to make up. 1t looked impos-
sible. At St. Joseph thousands were gath
cred on the bluffs to see the last rider come
in. People hardly breathed as the time
drew near, and yet no signs of his ep-
proach.

stylogrsphic Ink.

Not everyone knows the difference be-
tween stylographic ink and ordinary black
ink. The photographic ink is strained, So
that all the minute particles which are
found in ordinary ink are removed and 1t
will flow freely through the point Of the
pen in which it 10 used The process of
straining also renders it valuable in house
holds where careless people are likely to
spill ink, and where children go
away to school in white aprons,
too = often returning from their
writing lessons ink begrimed. StyloRraphic
ink will wash out without difficulty in clear
cold water. 1t is the minute particles of
matter in unstrained ink which become
clogged in the fiber of cloth and which
render stain from it practically indelibls.
There are great many kiGds OF stylo-
graz hic ink, but we believe they all possess
this excellent quality of washing out if
taken care Of at once. Certainly the first
bleaching will bring out all remnants of
the stain in white goods.-NeU York

In the American army of the revolution
there were few who could equal Count
Pulaski either in Workmanship or as a

then hurl it at some object in advance; and
then, without in tho least checking the
speed of his horse, he would slip one foot
from the stirrup, and, bending over toward
the ground, recover his pistol and wheel
into line with as much percision as though
he were engaged in ordinary exercise

ratio life, or is there some unexp planned
reason?
We have been in twenty state capitals
this winter, and | am sorry to say that
without an exception the legislature
seemed to be almost entirely engaged in
the task of redistricting the state. How
many millions of dollars does the reader
suppose it costs to redistrict the United
States so as to give the prevailing party
control OF the legislature: This is only
another item added to the great and grow
ing expense Of an election. BY and by q
senator will be compelled to be dishonest
in order to save anything out of his salary

penses.
1 saw Kate Kane, the noted Chicago fe-
male lawyer, the other day. She is rather
an aggressive woman, and has been fined
repeatedly for contempt. Once she dashed
pitcher of cold water in the face Of the
court, and as soon as he could get the
moisture out of his nose and wiring out his
whiskers and get dry woolssck to sit on
he fined the aggressive lawyer with
great alacrity. This winter she has
been again fined, this time for using Ian
guage unbecoming gentleman.
She was plain woman, with q firm
mouth. When she looked toward my seat
as though she thought Of sharing IL with
me 1 gave 1t all 20 her and sat on the wood :
box. Sometimes the woodbox feels sort Of
comfortable, think.
Kate Kane in her practice is regarded as
as an aggressive woman, as they say.
There is certainly nothing actionable in
that statement. If so, will take it back,
but think l am safe in saying that she is
aggressive. Sometimes she is abusive also.
Once this past year she was abusing the
| opposing council and the Judge mildly
reprimanded her.
You should remember" he said gently
| to Katie, ''that while the court may permit
pretty strong language at times, you have
gone over the bounds in this case and seem
to forget there are ladies' present.

Robideaux laid out a townsite here and
then called together the old hunters aud
trappers to name the little town. Mr.
RobideauX had provided a large barrel of
something to scatter across the bow OF the
newly christensd craft. Each trapper sug-
gested name, but each name seemed to
be distateful to Joe, till Charlie Stewart
the odd Zip Coon' of history, suggested,
with his eye on the keg, that it be called
ST. joseph in honor OF Mr.. Robideaux.
KNOCK her head inn said Joe, and the
barrel was busted quicker than New
York Sunday law.
General good feeling prevailed, followed
by remorse and Appollinaris water.
The streets were named while the gen.
eral good feeling was in the act of prevail
ing. They were named for the sons and
daughters of whom Joseph had repeatedly
found himself the parent. Among them
were Messanie, Angeliaue, Sylvanie,
Charles, Edmund. Fslix, Francis, julie,
Fareon, Michel, Rosine, Antoine, Louis,

Joseph has long since passed on to that
eternal hunting ground where the COON
skin cap is entirely superfluous. His por-
trait now hangs in the board of trade au-
ditorium OF the prosperous city.
ST. Joe in 1860 became the starting point
of the famous pony express, . daring en-
terprise, which no one but an American
weuld have deemed possible. There was a
| Wall street scheme at that time for OBJ
tanning subsidy of ten millions OF dollars
from the government for carrying the
mails overland from New York to San
francisco for year. William H Russell,
backed by Secretary of War Floyd, thought
the scheme was not warranted in the in
terests of erconomy. He also offered to
bet 200, GOO, that being all he had with him
at the time, that he could put on mail

days.
The Wall street boys took the bet, and

and hired 135 man who could ride On horse

would not regard such treatment as humili-
ating in the slightest degree. Indeed, she
would consider herself lucky to get off SO
easily.
Among the lower classes in China brutal
treatment of daughters in-law is not infre-
quent. Many instances of extreme cruelty
are reported, but there is no redress. The
law recognizes the supreme power of the
mother-in-la law, and even should death en-

the same category as gambling. The latter
is by far the more prevalent vice.

THE GREAT FAIR.

New Jersey has increased its worlds
fair appropriation from S20. 900 TO 1000.
Austria will make fine exhibit of glass,
porcelain, bronze, leather, artistic iron and
cabinet work.
The exhibit which Illinois women will
make in the woman's building will be a
model hospital, conducted entirely by
women.
Hayti has appropriated $4,000 for it's
representation at the exposition. Fred
Douglas has been appointed commissioners
to represent that country.
Queen Marguerite, of Italy, has promised
to lehd her unsqualed and historical cellec-
tion of laces for exhibition in the woman
building, and has evincsd strong personal
interest in the exposition.
The total amount reported appropriated
by foreign nations and colonies for their
representation at the exposition, so far as
heard from, is S3,951, 05S. Quite a number
of those which have decided to participate
have not yet made appropriations.
