To Keep sIlk .

Articles made of silk should not be
kept folded in white paper, as the
chloride of lime which is frequently
used in bleaching the paper win some
times destroy the color of the silk.
Blue, brown or a glossy kind of a
yelIowish paper is the best to select
for this purpose. A white satin
dress or cloak should always be
wrapped up in blue paper, with an
outer covering of brown paper sewn
together at the edges.

Sol. Y. Mum in North Carolinian. ]

i n
And it came to pass, in the reign
of BENJAMIN the Little, in the west
ern country, first found by Chris
Colon, that there was great evil
practiced in high places, and the
peoples money flowed into wrong
channels, insomuch that men who
had deseI ted from the army were
given pensions, thus prostituting
the very name of virtue and it's
rewards, and bald-headed men, and
men who had corns on their toes
obtained pensions also.
These things became such stencil
in the nostriIs of the people that in
the reign of Grover the Great, these
doings were brought to light, aud
great was the railing among the pen
sioners and their sympathizers.
But Grover held on his way, for he
felt that the hearts of the people were
with him, and he was right in thus
feeling. for people will do right and
approve the right if you bring it
home to them with the power of
demonstration-th is, when their
necessities pinch them.
The philosophy of this is. that too
great state of prosperity is not
good for man, for then he forgets
God, forgets virtue, forgets the
things that work for his highest in
terests, and devotes himself to
ignoble pursuits, the gathering of
dollars and cents, the applause of
men, and everything that will mag
nifty his little self here, forgetting the
higher aims, the approval of God
and that virtue is it's own reward

A SENSATIONALM MURDER.

KANSAS CITY, July 20.-A sensa-

shot and killed Benjamin E. Johnson,
a prominent young lawyer, on the
streets, and then jumped on his pros

on the face and head with the butt OF
his pistol. The murderer at once
surrendered to the police and was
committed to Jail. There is strong
talk of lynchlng, but the prisoner is
heavily guarded and any attempt will
be resisted.

point in the courts. Prisoners are

the warden Of that institution lately

question arises whether the warden
OF the state reformatory has a right
to send a man to the states prison.
