The Fall election.

Judged by the number and Importance
of the elections to be held this autumn.
this is distinctly an ''off year" in poll
tics; but as frequently happens the
year after the presidential election, the
politicians are much concerned over the
outcome because of the light it will
throw on the feeling of the country to-
wards the new administration.
Four states only will hold general
elections in November-Iowa, Massa-
chusetts. Ohio and Virginia. OF these
Ohio attracts most attention for several
reasons Though usually Republican,
it il regarded as a somewhat uncertain
state and has frequently chosen Dem
ocratic senator. The contest is virtual
" one for the senatorship. The Repub-
licans haye made Senator Hanna their
candidate. and the Democrats will try
very hard to defeat him.
The election in Ohiois important also
because it is the Presidents own state.
and because the Democrats have decid-
ed TO make their contest on the lines
laid down by their national convention
last year.
In several states besides those men,
TONED particular offices are to be filed.
In this way New York and Kentucky
will claim share of the public attention
not because it is Of very great moment
who is chosen, but because OF the polit-
zeal situation in those states. New
York, long Democratic, was last year
overwhelmingly Republican; and in
Kentucky, also usually Democratic, the
fight was so close that its membership
in the ELECTORAL college was divided;
Maryland. too, will be closely watched
in order to see whether it shows any
signs of returning to the Democratic
column.
In general, the elections are expected
TO throw light on two questions OF prom.
iuent national Importance. One is the
question Of the ''maiu issue'' in coming
congressional elections and in the next
presidential election. Will it be the
tariff or the currency? There is new
tariff Law to criticise and defend. but
no new currency measure has been en-.
acted by the present Congress.
The second question relates to the
division in the Democratic ranks caus
ed by the Chicago platform. The ''Na
tional Democrats" have made separate
nominations In Iowa and Kentucky and
announce their intention of doing 50 in
other states. It is supposed that Their
showing at the polls will go far to de
termine whether or not they will con
tinue TO maintain separate organize
tion.-Youth's Companion.

HousEwlFERY AND INDUSTRY.


The expenses of your house viii be
large or small. as you are bad or a good
housekeeper.
Among the most homely, but most es-
sential accomplishments of young
woman is that of housewifery.
Laziness is very apt TO come with
wealth, and there are undoubtedly a
great many more lazy girls now than
so years ago. but there are no more nat
urally lazy girls in the world than
usual.
Girls who acquire a really good edu-
cation now accomplish much more gem
uine hard work than those in ''the good
old times" who only learned TO read and
write. and occupied the most of their
time in the kitchen and dairy.
Nothing that can be called education
and accomplishment can be achieved
without great labor, and the principal
reason why good housewifery is 50
much neglected as an accomplishment
is that the time is so much occupied in
study.-J. G.. Holland.

"NoW TAKE MY HEAD OFF. +"
H,here the Old Negro Drew the
Line on Gen. Nichols.

Gen. Nichols of Louisiana commanded
brigade of infantry during the Valley
campaign in Virginia, which so immor-
talized the name of Stonewall jackson.
In one of the three famous victories
over Banks. Milroy and Shields, the
Louisiana brigade bore conspicuous
part, aud its gallant commander was
carried from the field, mortally wounded
as every one supposed. BY good nurs-
ing and skilful surgery the life of the
General was saved, and his state is proud
of him to-day. He lost an arm and a
leg on the battlefield, and lost one of
his eyes. He wears an artificial leg on
one side of his body and an arm on the
opposise. The pluck which enables him
TO withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life,
perhaps, more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet; he is one of the most
iovial of men, enjoying good joke as
much as anybody. He tells this on him
self.
When canyassing for Governor, he
was invited by lady who knew of his
loss OF limbs to make her house his,
home, and he accepted. She ordered
her manservant, who knew nothing OF
the Generals misfortune, to see that he
was comfortably put to bed. The darby

to be communicative, which delighted
the negro very much, and made him

the table, and commenced to express
great sympathy. saying: SIT sho' is bad
for a man 10 lose his arm dat erway

When the general told him to take hi;

but went at it in business like way
though he was almost ready to sheC
tears Of sympathy this time. Placing
the leg on the table by the side of tbs
arm, and looking at the general, said
"Umph. leg off on one side and arm OF

The Idaho Fair.

The Idaho lntermountain Fair viii
be held at Boise October 18th to 10th
inclusive. Il is the purpose OF the
management to make it, in the fullest
sense, a state fair. Arrangements are
being made to secure good exhibits
from every section of the state, and the
people Of neighboring sections are
asked to participate and send exhibits.
The fair is the outgrowth of feeling
that it Is necessary for the state to have
such fair established so that people
from distant points may have an oppor-
tunity of learning, in the best way pos
sible, of the resources and possibilities
OF the section represented. The pro-
iectors hope to make it the foundation
of an annual fair that will grow in inn
portance and influence for good from
year to year. The undertaking is in
charge OF some of the most energetic
men in Boise, who will leave nothing
undone to make the event one that will
be pleasing and beneficial to all who
attend.
E. W. johnson is director general
of the Idaho Intermountain Fair to be
held in Boise in October. He is widely
known throughout the state and all who
are acquainted with him realize that he
will make the fair attractive in every
feature.
The progressive element of Boise is
at the helm and that city has arranged
for a fair to be held in October that
shall be as wide as the state in its scope.
The people OF the capital have generally
followed the lead of the men who have
taken hold of the enterprise and the
success of the fair is assured. There
will be fine exhibits. an1 splendid
program of sports, and all at season
when our people can spare the time TO
attend.
II you wish our county to be repre-
scented in the state fair to be held in
Boise this fall, begin at once to arrange
for an exhibit of our products. The
fair is going to be comprehensive, and
any county that does not provide for
representation will regret it in the
future.

says that the name of the donor must
remain secret. 1t is, however, pretty
certain that Mr.. Cleveland himself
made the gift. It was he who counseled
his Postmaster General to accept the
head of the institution over which Gen.
Robert E. Lee presided, and otherwise
manifested deep interested in its af-
fairs. Mr.. Cleveland believes that in
this position Mr.. Wilson would be bet
