Wecdoubt vbry much whether the
proposition I'd run n train leaving
jefferson City in the morning for
st. Louis and returning early in the
evening will prove either profitable
to the railroad company or to the
merchants of Jefferson City. The
convenience may be all right to
some, but 50 far as the benefits are
concerned we doubt very much
whether such would be the case.

Do dogs reason? Well, if that dog
 does not, his instinctive love of sym
 pathy Is abnormaily developed" said
 gentleman on Fifth avenue yester- day. as he pointed to a woebegone, mangy-looking dog that was seated in
 the middle of the pavement looking up at passers-by in pitiful manner with tears glistening in his eyes. Now look at him and see how his mute ap- peal for sympathy will meet with res- ponse."
 l waited for a while ,and two ladies were about to pass the canine mendi- cant when, with an intensified look of misery and an adrolt shift of his posi- ton. he brought himself where the wo- men must surely see him. Then, when he was observed the tears welled to his eyes as the ladies murmured, while betting him: "The poor. dear thing. Isn't he sad looking? Nice little dog," etc..
 Now" said my friend. "that dog is a professional beggar, although he asks only for sympathy. I have taken some trouble to find out something about him. seeing him always on some one of the principal streets of the city going through the same act which we have just seen him do. He is an expert at his business, and his one desire seems to be to get himself noticed. He Is a good enough judge of human na- ture to pick out those who will give him sympathy rather than kick, for, although I have watched him many times, he has never failed, where he has tried, to bring to himself a gentle pat, if not a kind word. He is particu- larly fond of the sympathy of chari- table-looking old ladies, and I have frequently seen him follow them after they had passed by without noticing him until they would give him gentle words. How the dog lives I don't know nor can I find out, for nobody who knows ever saw him eat. If he lives on sympathy there Is some accounting for his bony rance."-Pittsburg DiSpatch

But Sister Granniss and her eo-work- CTS will find they have undertaken a great task. They win have little diffi- culty in driving the living pictures off the stage. In this noble work they will have the support Of the best public opinion. including that of the living pictures in the boxes. But when they come to tackle the living pictures in the boxes they will have trouble. We fear that they will not make a shining success of that part of their crusade. They might get some help from public opinion if they would conline their ef- forts against living pictures in society to those which are hideous as well as indecent. It is a sad fact that many society women will persist in making living pictures of themselves when they ought 10 be eager to use all the means available for concealing what their vanity causes them to hope are their charms.

How Neptune Held On to His Job.

l Not long after the war old Neptune Burgess drifted up in Illinois from his plantation home in the south, and was so well satisfied with Gods country, as he was pleased to term it, that he settled permanently in Mclean county, becoming fixture upon the farm of Ezra Miles. a well-to-do planter.
 Neptune was gray-hairei and lazy when he bargained for this place, and time did not improve his value as q servant. He was good-natured. faith ful after his fashion, and apparently much attached to MT. Miles, but noth- ing could persuade him to initiate the bee in industry.
 One year passed and another, and stil Neptune remained, while his con- tentment was q real comfort to be- hold. Nothing in the world troubled him except a delay in serving hls meals. and as this rarely happened his serenity practically remained unbrok- en.
 The negro was coal black when he first entered MT. Miles home, and he seemed to take on deeper shades as his hair whitened. But the latter was the only sign he gave of advancing age. He was thin, tall. erect and ac- tive-when moving toward the house at dinner time. Day after day, though, he became lazier: yet there were those who knew him that declared that he had reached the lowest possible de- scending point in the first year. MT. Miles even, who was one of the most forbearing men in the world, could finally stand it no longer and resolved upon drastic measures. Coming up with the ,darky in the barn when he should have been out in the field, he said sternly:,
 See here, Nep, you are not worth yourself off at once."
 The old negro, who had been leaning out of a window looking dreamily upon the landscape, now turned about, re- garded MT. Miles half curiously for a moment, and then shook his head neg atively:
 "Kain do It, Marse Ezry. It tecks two ter meek CT barg'in, n I ain CT gwine ter fling erway CT job Is hilt nigh onter twenty year, comin' nex' Jinnerwerry. laiks the place mighty well, n reckons I'll stay ontwell I dies" Here Neptune turned to go away, having rejected what he consid- cred an undesirable proposition.
 Come back here." cried MT. Miles, angrily, If you talk to me that way I'll thrash you"
 The negro halted, moved half about, and answered refectively:
 "Dat you kin do, Marse Ezry, be- kase 1t ont tecks one ter do the lam min; but it sho'ly do tek two ter meek a bargain. n ain't sich CT blame fool s ter frow up dis CT place."
 And stay old Neptune did to the end of his days, persuaded to the last that

LIVING PICTURES.

The startling announcement is made that Mrs. Elizabeth B. Granniss and others working with her are about to make a thorough crusade against the living picture'' notion in New York
 and that they will not be content with driving poor and pretty girls out of the business of exhibiting their charms on the stage. They will try to prevent the exhibition of such living pictures as may be seen in the boxes of the Metropolitan opera ~h house. Of course this will make the crusade a con- sistent one. There is no doubt that many of the living pictures that figure in New York society are more inde- cent than many of those that figure on the stage, and; fusthermore, they are neither aa- pretty nor as artistic.

without wrinkle and fastens at the left side under big irregular bow of satin-lined rose velvet. The stock col lar is of satin. This charming costume was worn at a reception, a bow of the velvet faced with bla ok satin, resting flat on top of the head. just in front of the little high pug of hair.
 Evening headdresses are really hard ly more than lot of rosettes of propor- tions that quite cover their foundation. In general the shape is a triangle or crescent with big rosette at each of the side corners. another in front and then flare of lace, an aigrette of all ornament rises perkily from the whole. This sort of headgear is so slight that much of the hair is displayed and for that reason much attention is given to the coif's preparation. It is in this process that garments like that pictured her come into use. It would seem that garments which are so little seen might be free from the everlasting demands for novelty, but they are; indeed, dress ing sack effects often verge upon the bizarre. This one is odd enough, and is made in one piece without sleeves from pink batiste. It is then richly set off with two lace ruffles. The top one runs up the back as far as the waist. where pink bow is placed, and a similar bow ties the garment in front.

LOBBIISIS.

The situation in regard to the speak, ership of the next house Of the Con- necticut legislature is an interesting one. Some of the judicious or iniudi- cious friends of some of the candidates are arguing that their man should be chosen because he is not a lobbyist. And the funniest thing about the whole performance Is that the friends of MT. Elmer of Middletown, are the most vociferous in aserting that he is not a lobbyist.
 The plain truth is, that every man who is prominently mentioned for the speakership has done more or less lob- by1ng in his time, and most of the candidates have done more. We do not mean by this that all or any of them have done disreputable and dis honest lobbying. What we mean is that all of them have been around the legislature urging or opposing the passage of certain measures, and 1t is not generally believed that they have done such work for nothing. So we are bound to have lobbyist for speaker, and this being the case the argument that the lobbyist who will make the best speaker should be chosen has force. It is certainly ridi- cuious for the friends of some of the candidates to be talking the way they are in favor of their man and against the others because their man is not lobbyist and the others are lobbyists

"P.4SIERS."

This is great year for pastors. We suppose that there has never been as much money spent in New Haven in one year for pastors as there has been this year. The idea appears to be that everybody in both parties Is only wait ing to get hold of pastors to paste every candidate of the party to which he has been known to belong, and induce his friends to do the same. So everybody has handed or sent to him by mail about ten times as many pastors as he could use even If he were disposed to use them all, and the candidates who are elected feel sure that their skillful use of pastors did the business.
 There is no doubt that the growth of the paster notion is good thing for the printers Presses were busy in New Haven yesterday getting pastors ready. And voters will be busy tomorrow us- ing them or throwing them away. The indicatio are that many will be used, especially by those opposed to the Dem- ocratic ring which not only prevented the resuscitation of the Democratic party but added insult to injury by laying out the resuscitation committee beyond hope of resuscitation. Those who are elected tomorrow will have their faith in pastors strengthened and those who are not will regret that they spent their money on a wrcrs theory.

The late czar was a great collector of postage stamps, and left one of the most extensive collections in the world. He had agents and secretaries In all countries.

Hydraulic mining is to be revived in California under the act of congress which provided money for building dams and sluiceways to retain the silt or "sllekens." which otherwise would All up the river channels or be deposited on farming lands in the valleys 10 their ruin.

The farmers and river men are still bitterly opposed to hydraulic min ing, and will not consent to the disso- luton of the injunction which the courts have granted against 1t until they are thoroughly satisfied that the new plan for dlsposlng of the slickens will be successful. A compromise is said to have been agreed upon by which trial of the new method Is to be made. The estimated output of gold from the hy- draulic mines is several millions yearly, and next year will probably see con- siderable addition to the store of gold from this source.
