A Famous Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet, which
is now the favorite residence Of the
president of the French republic, has q
history remote from the literary fad Of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture. 1t was in this
chateau that Francis breathed his last
and Charles X was deserted in his
death. 1t is not generally known, how
ever, how Louis XVI became its propri-
etor. Until 1885 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due de Penthievre, grandson of
Louis XIV and Nine. de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
it. This desire became fixed passion,
which was augmented by his dislike of
its owner. But one day he declared,
1.-The possession of Ralnbouillet would
be the happiness Of my life. To which
the duke graciously replied: "God for
bid that should be the cause of your
unhappiness. Sire, Rambouillet is yours
on your own terms The price fixed
was II, 600, 600 francs, Of which 6, OO0,-
900 were paid the next day in gold from
the royal treasury.

A Splendid Lecture.

Rev. L. B. Wickersham of Atlantic,
Ia, delivered lecture in the opera
house Saturday night under the aus
pices of the Y. NJ G. A. OH "Chickens
Come Home to Roost; or Moral Agri-
culture" The lecturer used the illus
tration embodied in the title-a fact in
natural history-as basis for strik
ing portrayal of the idiosyncracies and
evils of the human race Like the
chicken in its return to it's roost. the
evil the individual does reverts in time
to his own head. Like the farmer the
individual sows seed lin the moral
field); the earth. which never lies, al
ways gives up the same kind of pro-
duct as the seed sown; and like the
harvest of the land product, the reap
ing of the moral field reaps pro-
duct "a multiple of what was sown.
So that if like produces like
and in increased quantities. and the
sower must be his own reaper, he
should be careful of the seed he sows
The lecturer gave his idea of the mean
ing of physical culture in very forci-
ble way. He pictured two methods
and left the audience to judge which
was the better. The first physical di-
rector said, "John, straighten up!
Your shoulders are round! Walk so! .
And John smirks and smiles aud af-
fects the naughty, stiff stepof the self
conscious, arrogant and falsely proud
The second director says. .sJohn, the
Creator made your spinal column to
move perpendicular to the earth and
not horizontal with it as that of the
hog and other beasts. Do you want to
be like them? Then brace up; you'll
do some good in the world yet.' And
John squares his shoulders, looks the
the sun in the eye and with a manly
stride starts out to accomplish some
thing. Many commonplace things
were used illustrating some point of
fundamental Importance in character
building, permanently fixing it in the
mind. The speaker is easy and pleas
ing in manner and the lecture instruc-
tive, uplifting, entertaining AMI popu-
lar. The lecture was listened to by
tabout two hundred people.

Grant ON the Battle of the wilderness

The general i'll chief, Grant, talked
for some time with officers of the staff
about the results of the battle of the
previous days. He said i'll this conncc-
tion: "All things in this world are rels,-
tive. While VIC were engaged i'll the
Wilderness could not keep from think
ing Of the first fight I ever saw-the
battle Of Palo Alto. As I looked ut the
long line Of Battle, consisting of 5000
men, 1 felt that General Taylor had such
fearful responsibility resting upon him
that I wondered how he ever had the
nerve to assume it, and when, after the
fight, the casualties were reported and
the losses ascertailcd to be nearly 60 in
killed, wounded and missing, the ell
gagement assumed Il magnitude in my
eyes which was positively startling
When the news of the victory reached
the States, the windows in every house
hold were Illuminated, and it was
largely instrumental i'll making General
Taylor president cf the United States
Now, such an affair would scarcely be
deemed important enough to report to
headquarters. He little thought at
that moment that the battles then in
progress would be chiefly instrumental
i'll making the commander himself pres
ident of tho United General
Horace Porter i'll Century.

A Splendid Offer.

The Minneapolis Tribune, always at
the front where genuine newspaper en-
terprise is concerned, makes wonder
fully liberal offer to the teachers of the
northwest, and which is we'll worth
their early and careful consideration.
The offer involves the formation of
different words from the title, 1.-THE
Tribune" and includes forty splendid
prizes, the value of some of them
amounting to nearly $3.50. They range
from two trip tickets to the National
Exposition, with q snug sum in cash,
down through list of money and
transportation prizes, and one of which
will repay the effort necessary to COM
ply with the very simple conditions.
The offer is not limited to teachers,
although they are given special induce
ments, but is within the reach of every
one who desires to enter the contest,
and as the details of the same have
been thoroughly advertised for the
past year or two, no one need be in ig-
norance as to what is required. How
ever, we have no doubt the Tribune
will answer all inquiries concerning
the offer and as the contest closes July
20, teachers and others who are anx-
ious to compete cannot begin too early.
The amount involved in prizes is IL
cool 81 600.
This is an opportunity for some os
our bright young people to show their
enterprise. Get to work. We may
just as we'll have some of the Tribune.>
good things and we want to see some
of our readers travel at their expensr
or wear gold watch set with din
monds.

Death of DIR. Herbert at ,,aA.rv,,,.

DIR. Alvin Herbert of Bakeryille
died July 2nd, aged - years and
s months. Some time ago he was
stricken with paralysis, from which he
rallied for Il time, but the disease and
the weight of years finally broke the
thread of life and he bade farewell to
earth and earthly cares. A part of his
family had preceded him to the great
beyond, but seven children still remain
to mourn his death. For some time
he had been cared for by two of his
grand children who deserve and re-
ceive the sympathy of all of their
many friends.
DIR. Herbert united with the NJ. n.
church when he was thirteen years old
and has been "a hero in the camp of
Israel. He was buried in Lame John
ME valley on the estate of his son,

The Childhood of Genius.

AS far as have studied the child
hood of genius it commonly shows itself
less i'll performance than in character,
and, alas, not agreeably. The future
genius is often violent ferocious, fond
Of solitude, disagrceable i'll society.
The great Du Guesclin, the scourge
Of the English invaders of France,
was Il most odious boy. His parents had
to make him dine at Il table apart. He
was rude, furious, bully; he beat cv-
cry boy he could lay hands OH; he ran
away from home; he led companies of
peasant children against other compa-
nies; he was the terror of the neighbor-
hood and the ugliest page as he be-
came "the ugliest knight i'll France I"
This was the boyhood of great mill
tary genius; the boyhood it was of u lit
tie savage.
Scott's childhood was noisy. He yell
ed old poems at the top of his voice. He
loved the lonely hills. He read forever,
when he was not wandering alone, an.l
he remembered anything that he read
He was Il dreamer, n teller Of romances
to himself. He delighted in fighting, as
O1u IAcitts. I1c Stuttlctl everything cA-
cept his books. His enthusiasm for po-
etry made IL lady recognize him for a gen
ius ut the age of 6. but his father
thought he would end us u strolling fid-
dler.
Napoleon, again, was sullen, lonely,
dreamer, and always "spoiling for a
fight, like Du Guesclin.
Unluckily, sullen, dreamy, pugna-
cious boys are not at all uncommon.
They do not become Scotts-not that he
was sullen-nor Du Guesclins nor Ma
poleons nor Byrons-for Byron, too,
was passionate, lonely, morbid kind
of boy, with terrible fits of temper. His
early poems We're trash.
Shelley's early poems were trash.

boy can write, and there is no promise

Ever since its organization in 1887,
the National Republican League of
United States has kept it's office open
and its organizing and educating forces
at work despite a hostile national ad-
ministration on the one hand and a
money panic on the other 1t has been
the only political organization repre-
senting republican policies that
has refused to "shut up shop
The League is optomistic and is now
enjoying the fruits of a victory won by
thrift over shiftlessness, honesty over
dishonesty, and intelligence over ig-
norance. In the great campaign of
1886 the League played no small part.
Subordinating itself to the republican
national committee and quietly hewing
to the line it was instrumental in turn
ing the tide in several states. In the
struggle for office the League takes no
part. 1t is the .svolunteer army'. of
the republican party. 1t backs no
man for place. 1t is not breeder of
discord, neither does it shelter the dis
appointed seeker after. patronage. 1t

Diseased Cattle.

The following appeared in the tele-
graphic columns of the daily press a
few days ago, sent out from Aberdeen:
estate Veterinary Surgeon, j. w.
Elliott, is advised by States Attorney.
Walter Anderson, of Fall River county
that herd of diseased cattle has been
driven into that county from Nebraska
and is being held near the Cheyenne
river, on Plum creek. There is great
danger from this, as number of herds
range in that vicinity. In describing
the disease the writer states that the
animal slobbers, and wherever the
slobber touches the animal or another
the hide comes off or cracks open in
many places. The skin appears drawn
very tight, and when the animal is tap
ped upon the side gives forth a sound
like drum. If the hand used in
toucning the sick animal is placed
upon the face severe pain and pain
full itching, burning sensation is en-
perienced. The diseased cattle came
from northwest Nebraska, where the
disease appeared Il year ago in stock
shipped from the SOUTH"
Since the foregoing was in type we
have had an interview with Carmon
Fisher, who lives at the junction of
Plum creek with horsehead, and he
says the only other resident on Plum
creek is John Yeager, and that he has
not heard of any such disease prevail
ing along Plum creek in this state, al
though he has heard of it in Nebraska.
We trust that the report may prove
to be an error.
