CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.


There is one Senator in Washington who does
not seem to take much interest in the paigu
in bis State, and has not left the city since
Congress adjourned. He is Senator Roach, of
North Dakota. The Senator's seeming indifer.
ance may be accounted for by the fact that
<lere is very little work Of importance in the
line of campaigning being done in his State
this Fall, aud he does not believe in worrying
himself Wise man!

BOurke Cochran has declared his intention
for awhile past of retiring from Congress at
the end of his term. His loss will be felt
among the Democrats. He came strongly TO
the front last session in his denunciation of the
Senate tariff bill, and showed himself no

of Nebraska, in opposition to free silver. He
has been strong Administration man through

The Department of Agriculture has issued
a circular with regard to the carpet beetle, or
buffalo moth, that will be of value to house
wives. According to it, the carpet beetle is
brown, clothed with stiff brown hairs; is about
a quarter inch long, aud works ON the under
surface of carpets, generally following the lines
of the foor-cracks, cutting long Sits in the
carpet. The pest is known only in the North
err States, where it does frequent injury. 1t
is an imported bug but does little harm abroad
as household pest, probably because carpets
are so little used. Where polished floors or
mattings and rugs are used for floor coverings,
the bug has very little power to harm. How
ever, having carpets, the best thing to do is to
clean them in Midsummer, as far as the de-
struction of the beetle and its Larvae con-
cerned but, as most housekeepers will do
nual Spring semi-annual Spring and Fall
house cleaniEgs the best thing for them to
do lie to take up the carpets, have them thor
oughly beaten, and sprayed with benzine and
aired for several hours. The floors and walls
should be brushed and busted, the floors
should be scrubbed with hot water, the cracks
carefully cleaned out and soaked with kero-
sene or benzine, remem berng always that
benzine is very infammable. and no light
should be brought in room where it is being
used If the cracks be very big they ought
to be filed up with plaster of paris; this can
be poured in in a liquid state. and it will har
den and do away with so much house room for
the destructive beetles. Tarred roof paper
must be laid at least under the edges of the
carpet, and it would be better to have the
entire floor covered with it before putting
down the carpet. Then tack the carpet
down lightly, so that it can be lifted easily =
and examinations of its under surface made.
Finally, if such examination shows traces,
the best thing to do is to lay a wet cloth
over the spot where they are and press with a
very hot iron. The steam passing through the
carpet will kill any insect life with which it
comes in contact However, the circular does
not give much hope to housekeepers, and
strongly advises the of rugs and squares
with polished floors or mating, as being more
healthful and satisfactory in every way than
the heavy carpets covering the floor entirely.

If there is anything in this world that
woman wishes to conceal more than her age it
is the fact that she is newly married, and to
this she resorts to ali kinds Of articles and
Stimulates the air OF person who has long been
copjugally mated. But all kinds of rnishaps
overtake her. and it is seldom that she succeeds
in deceiving anyone. Even the relatives of a
newly married couple play tricks on them to
betray their secret Such was the case with a
pair whe are stopping at one of the Washington
hotels, and Washington, it has been before re-
marked, is great place for bridal couples. Soon
after their arrival telegram was received.
which read as follows: Congratulate Mrs. and
Mr.. Smith, recently married, for me-" This was
signed by cousin of the bride Other tele-
grams were received at intervals during the day
from other relatives Of the bride and groom,
aud the result was great fun for the hotel at
taches and the newspaper men in the secret.

TWO CHRISTIANS.


Two Christians travelled down a road.
Who viewed the world with different eyes
The one was pleased with earth's abode.
The other longing for the skies
For one the heavens were so blue
They filled his mind with faac.es fond:
The others eyes kept piercing through
/, Only for that which lies beyond
For one enchanting were the trees,
The distance was Divineiy din:
The birds that futtered on the breeze
Nodded their pretty heads for him.
The other scarcely saw the flowers,
And never knew the trees were grand:
He did bat count the days or hours
Till he might reach the promised land
And one little kind caress
Would 10 tender rapture move:
He only ope'd his eyes TO bless
The God who gave him things TO love
The other iourneyed on his way.
Afraid to handle or 10 touch:
He only ope'd his lips TO pray
He might not love q thing too much
Which was the best: Decide who can
Yet why should we decide twixt Them
We may approve the mournful man.
Nor yet the joyful man condemn
He is Christian who has found
That earth as well as Heaven is sweet:
Nor less is he, who Heaven bound.
Has spurned the earth beneath his feet.

reason why it is called the tennis

PART II.
CHAPTER I.
The Country Of the Saints.
on THE GREAT ALKALI PLAIN.

on THE GREAT ALKALI PLAIN
In the central portion of the great
North American continent there lies
an arid and repulsive desert which for
many long year served as Il barrier
! against the advance of civiliza ton.
From the Sierra Nevada to Nebraska
and from the Yellowstone river in the
north to the Colorado upon the south
is a region of desolation and silence
Nor is nature always in one mood
throughout this grim district. 1t COM
prises snow-capped and lofty noun
tains and dark and gloomy valleys.
There are swift-fowing rivers which
dash through jagged canyons. and
there are enormous plains which in
winter are white with snow and in
summer are gray with the saline alkali
dust. They all preserve. however. the
common characteristics of barrenness,
inhospitality and misery.
There are no inhabitants of this land
of despair. 4 band of Pawnees or of
Blackfeet may occasionally traverse it
in order to reach other hunting
grounds. but the hardest of the braves
are glad to lose sight of those awesome
plains, and to find themselves once
more upon their prairies. The coyote
skulks among the scrub. the buzzard
flaps heavily through the air, and the
clumsy grizzly bear numbers through
the dark ravines. and picks up such
sustenance as it can among the rocks.
These are the sole jewellers in the will
derneSS.
In the whole world there can be no
more dreary view than that from the
northern slope of the Sierra Blanco.
As far as the eye can reach stretches
the great fat plainland, all busted over
with patches of alkali. and intersected
by clumps of the dwarfsh chaparral
bushes. On the extreme verge of the
horizon lies a long chain of mountain
peaks. with their rugged SUBMITS
fiecked with snow. In this great
stretch of country there is no sign of
life. nor of anything appertaining to
life. There is no bird in the steel-blue
heaven. no movement upon the dull,
gray earth-above all, there is abso-
lutte silence. Listen as one may. there
is no shadow of a sound in all that
mighty wilderness: nothing but silence
complete and heart-subduing silence.
1t has been said there is nothing APP
pertaining to life upon the broad
plain. That is hardly true. Looking
down from the Sierra Blanco. one sees
a pathway traced out across the desert,
which winds away and is lost in the
extreme distance. 1t is rutted with
wheels and trodden down by the feet
of many adventures. Here and there
are scattered white objects which
glisten in the sun, and stand out
against the dull deposit of alkai. Ap-
proach and examine them! They are
bones; some large and coarse. others
smaller and more delicate. The for
mer have belonged to oxen. and the |
latter to men. For fifteen hundred
miles one may trace this CHASTITY cara
van route by these scattered remains |
OF those who had fallen by the way
side.
Looking down on this very scene,
there stood upon the 9Th Of May, 1s47,
solitary traveller. His appearance |
was such that he might have been the |
very genius or demon Of the region |
