Yates, and some of the latter looked upon
the confusion incident to the hurried ar
rangements with startled eyes. The Office
of Acknowledgement Robbins opens amost
directly into the Governors apartments, and
through this door there was a constant
stream of business. Governor Matthews
held frequent consultations with his pri-
vate secretary, Myron d. King, and the
Adjutant-general. Quartermaster-genera
Compton was one of the busiest OF men.
He was up to his ears in work and did
not desist until the last round of cartridges
and the last box of hard tack had been
loaded into the wagon and started to the
depot. The Quartermaster has provided
bountifully for his men, who will sus-
tain life on hard tack canned corn beef,
breakfast bacon, canned baked beans cof-
fee and tea. In addition to these edibles
the young soldiers will have all the COM
forts to be derived from warm blankets
and waterproof tents. Each man carried
forty rounds OF cartridges, and after these
are exhausted he knows where he can
draw a reserve fund OF twenty thousand
more.
The first militiamen to arrive at the
Statehouse were the colored troops OF the
Second and Third regiments. Company M,
of the Second Regiment swung into the
yard early in the afternoon and stacked
arms underneath the east windows OF the
executive parlors. Two other companies
followed and when o'clock came the
troops began TO grow restless and wonder
why their marching orders were delayed.
/. Many anxious giances were directed toward
the Office OF the Adjutant-general, who was
engaged In conference with members OF his
staff. At O'Clock Loo rounds OF cartridges
were gotten out and hustled to the Union

careful with some others you have lately been
asking me about. For instance George Eliot.
Although you may get harm from George
Eliot, her writings not at all for girls or
twenty, like Penelope and you know even you
only read some of her books. 1t would not do for
Penelope to fancy you and she are to be on an
equality in your reading. The safest way for

Lady Carnoustie pictured her youthful visitor
experimenting the unpacking Of her trunks and
the arrangement Of their contents. My reader

turret window on the beauteous landscape now

by the class who may be described as business

influence Of the women whose racing colors are
now registered may prove more fortunate. They
are yearly increasing in number and Importance
In England we find Mrs. Chaloner, whose stable
at Newmarket was burned down the other day;
the Dowager Duchess of MontrOse. who may he

And ancient sorrow found surcease?

What peace and silence mean for me

Mark Twain's New Book.

Mark Twain's most popular and sue
scription and the American Publishing
Company of Hartford, Conn, announce
for early publication his new book, "The
Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson and the
Comedy of those extraordinary Twins"
The Tragedy and Comedy were at first
a dual story-two stories in one-and
the authors account, as given in the
preface, of the difficulty he had in writ
ing the book, of the incompatibility Of
| some of the characters and OF his hav-
ing to finally separate them by pulling
one of the stories out by the roots and
leaving the other-a kind of Casarean
operation, is certainly one of the most
original, breeziest and cleverest chap
| ters-choice fun-that has been written
for many day. We are told that
'there is time to laugh" and The
| Chltrchmdn says, "the reader will begin
to smile at the very first paragraph"
The book will be sold only by sub
scription and as it possesses, in a pro-
nounced degree, the remarkable char
acteristics of the authors best works it
is sure to have a. large sale. Each
page will be beautifully illustrated with
marginal sketches, the work OF one OF
our best artists, and the publishers
have wisely decided to sell the volume
at popular price-bringing it within
the reach of all.

1t was discovered recently that the
marriage license law of Pennsylvania,
which has caused many matrimonial
inclined people to skip the state line
and have the knot tied in New York
state, is not yet in force, nor will it be
until Oct. 1st, 1895. The marriage Ii
cense act was passed in 1885, and was
amended in 1893, but owing to an error
in the transcribing of the supplement
Of 1893 to the act of 1885, the clerks
made mistake of writing ''fve" for
''three" and the result is the delay Of
two years in the operation of the sup
plement. The error was discovered
shortly after the Legislature adjourned,
but it was then too late to rectify the
mistake. Whether people will con-
tinue to apply for marriage licenses, or
will get married without consulting the
county seat official until Oct. 1st, 1895,
will be made known by time. II the
act is ''to be law" in year from now,
q number OF five dollar Williams that
would otherwise be carried to some
other state, will remain in Pennsylva-
mia. Attorney General Hensel says
the law is alright, and couples intend
ing to marry will have to procure q
license as heretofore.

"The glare and heat OF civilization
have killed more Indians than have the
bullets of the pioneers" said George Fl.
Williamson, recently from the Indian
territory, to the Pomona Progress
"The Indians blood from long line OF
ancestry is tainted with scrofula, and
the ease and comforts of the white
mans life vitalize the scrofulous ten
dency. To make plain what mean, I
will tell you what / observed at the
government school at Lawrence, Kas., a
few years ago. The government heated
the quarters of the pupils by steam,
and in a while the Indians began to die
off like sheep from consumption until
the steam pipes were removed. The
Indian needs hardy, tough life on the
plains. Under such conditions he thrives
and is healthy, but just as soon as you
confine him to the limits of a warm
room pulmonary tuberculosis seizes him
and carries him off Heat and ease set
the scrofula to work in his blood with
disastrous effects. That's the reason
why the American Indian will soon be a
reminiscence - his constitution can't
stand the civilization of the paleface."
