i The type writer is the only woman who takes kindly to dictation. When men dare not tell the truth of themselves, how can they be expected to always tell the truth about others? Beware of the man who tells you "there is a fortune in it." He may want to get your fortune in it also. Texas Silii'js. This is a sort of a topsy turvey world. No one seems to be satisfied.

When a man is pointed out to you as an advanced thinker take a long look at him. The difference between an advanced thinker and an advanced egotist is so slight that either one of them can come under the head of "idiot." Detroit Free Press. There is only one greater folly that that of the fool who says in his heart, "I here is no God;" and that is the folly of those who say with the head that they do not know whether there is a God or not. Dismnreh. Between levity and cheerfulness there is a wide distinction; and the mind which is most open to levity is frequently a stranger to cheerfulness.

It has been remarked that transports of intemperate mirth are often no more than flashes from the dark cloud; and that in proportion to the violence of the effulgence is the succeeding gloom. Hugh Jjlair. TWO THOROUGH HATERS. The Duke of Cumberland ami Germany's Iron Cliuneelor. Bismarck and the Duke of Cumberland hate each other about as thoroughly as any two men in the world.

The Duke of Cumberland is the son of the blind King of Hanover, whom Bismarck deposed in lSiiii, who tied to Vienna, and whose dominions were annexed to the kingdom of Prussia after the peace of Sadowa. Bismarck not only seized Hanover and all the public property, but ho put his paws upon $10,000,000 of private funds belonging to the King. His eldest son and heir, the Duke of Cumberland, regarded that as monstrous injustice, and other statesmen have held to the same opinion. But when the Duke of Brunswick died he willed all his personal property, $12,000,000, to his cousin, the present Duke of Cumberland. It was so placed that Bismarck could not get hold of that, but the Duke was kept out of the Duchy of Brunswick because Bismarck considered that he would be a dangerous subject in Germany.

But Bismarck, knowing that the Duke of Cumberland would be always the center of disaffection in Germany, wants to give him a crown in some distant country. So the Chancelor has proposed to the Duke to accept the crown of Bulgaria. The Duke replied that he considered the proposal an insult; that he was the legitimate King of Hanover, and that he hoped to live to see the time when Prussia would be shorn of her fictitious greatness. The Duke, htwing married Princess Thyrra, the youngest daughter of the King of Denmark, is a brother-in-law of the Prince of Wales and the Czar of Russia, and this makes Bismarck the more anxious to placate him by a crown bauble. But the Duke does not forget that Bismarck tried to prevent his match with Thyrra, intimating that it would be an unfriendly suit on the part of Denmark to allow one of its Princesses to marry a person who was constantly scheming to recover the kingdom of Hanover.

Though the Duke of Cumberland is one of the wealthiest men in the world he is said to be one of the unhappiest, because he can not reobtain his crown. Milwaukee Wisconsin. Artistic Intelligence.

The Vestibule train is a new factor in railroad transportation. It is claimed for these trains that on ac count of their being connected by steel hoods all danger of telescoping in case of accident is removed, the-' train being practically one long It is certain that the oscillation of the cars is greatly reduced, and it is' also certain that the Vestibule train' afford the greatest comfort to travelers. The adoption of this style of train by the Chicago, Santa Fe and' California railway between Kansas City and Chicago, is a strong bid for the passenger traffic between Chicago" and the west. This new road is in many particulars ahead of any of its" older competitors, and will nndonbt-" edly be the popular road to Chicago." SO MILES DISAPPEAR." Thirty miles of country is a big thing to disappear, but this distance' has been dropped out between' Kansas City and Chicago. How itJ happened is thus figured out.

The' Chicago, Santa Fe California railway is completed between Kansas City and Chicago, and the distance' between the two cities is only 458 miles measuring from TJnion Depot, Kansas City, to Dearborn Station," Chicago. This is exactly thirty miles less than by any of the old lines, so" you have to travel thirty miles less, your freight has to be hauled thirty miles less, and practically the Santa Fe has made thirty miles disappear. A few rears at this rati and Kansas' will be in New England. The republicans of Galveston' county, Texas, in mass meeting assembled elected delegates to the state republican convention, which meets at Fort Worth September and adopted this resolution: Resolved, That the mob violence' of Fort Bend county and the assassi-" nation of Joseph Hoffman, of Wash ington county admonish us that similar scenes may be expected to follow the vigorous efforts of our party in counties in which the re-' publican vote predominates; therefore it is the sense of this conven tion that the interests of the repnb-" lican part' will be best served by not nominating a state ticket."
