It whether she remained sinirla from Oj oioe or necessity; for sinoe it was iisidered a woman's mntw Own unutterable destiny to marry, she must of oouise, be regarded aa a failure in life it she did not do this.

And thonoh aha may have refused forty offers of marriage, imve uhh lue m0Br, imperative duties any sort, or develoiwl the mnat. Aa- cided talent for some vocation in lifeoth- thon mornage, yet neither one nor all these would have been arvwntAd aa valid reason why she should not follow want Booieiy naa decided was the only proper oourse in life for her. rrom this oondition ot things there arose in literature-and the minds of people in general the typical "old maiA She was always pictured us gaunt, angular, and forbidding in apnearanos: morose and ill-tempered in disposition, as became a blighted and diaannninti being; hating youth and pleasures of all sorts, with a special grudge against love-making and lovers. Sinoe thv remindai her of her own vanished youth and the opponuniues wmoh she never bad, or having, had neglected. we have chanced all that in t.hosa later dBys.

With the education of wo men and the broadening ot their oppor- vuuucd cioij nuj iiioir upsumes cave broadened also. A woman is still, perhaps, expected first to marrv. and it best for her that she should, provided her marriage can be a hamiv mm. Hn if from her own choice, or a necessity onmDg rrom a laok ot appreciation on the part of the other and mom afara'A sex, she remains at the end of her daya wiiau someone cans an "unclaimed blessing," she is no longer considered, from this circumstance alone, a failure and an unhappy creature. She is no Inflow doomed to a life of dependence in the house of another, for a score of voca tions are OOen to htir.

Consequently she com mands respect, and, far from be-ig a subject of oontempt or pity, she is more likely the object of open or secret envv on the part of mnaf of her married acquaintances.

She was forced to the terrible dead by hunger and poverty whioh is the fruitful pro duct of this christian age. The mother is aeaa ana aught onanoes ror the onuaren recovery. The lamest pension ever paid in the United States was paid at the United States pension office, in Louisville, by Pension Agent Buell to Marcus D. Richardson, an aged soldier living at Milton, Ky. The cause for granting the pension Is total blindness, brought on by an injury to the eyes received in the war in 18133.

The pension dated back to that year and amounted to $11,600. James Lamb and Albert O'Dell were con victed at Fort Smith. of murdering Edward Pollard in the Chickasaw nation. The murder occurred in December last, but the body was not found until about two months later. The murdered man was a farmer and the murderers were hoarding with him, and killed him that one of them might marry his widow.

News has been received from Belle Isle, N. indicating that a large ocean steamship has probably been wrecked or has had her decks swept in a very heavy gale of wind. Mncb wreckage bas washed ashore in the straits. A number of dead cattle have also been thrown up by the sea, but no thin a has yet been fonnd by whioh to dis cover the identity of the wrecked vessel. Mr.

Pierre Lorillard. the owner of the finest stud farm in Amerioa, and probably fn the world, has concluded to sell out The stud is composed of eighty our stallions and brood mares, among them tne famous stai-liona are Trinnois and Mortimer. Some par ticular friends of Mr. Lorillard claim that the reason of bis abandonment of the turf is the great antipathy whioh bis wife is said to entertain for raoing. Satnrdav nieht Mr.

E. H. Brown, local manager of the Western Union telegraph company left St. Louis, without notifying eitner tne teiegrapn omuius or uia iuuujr. The Monday following he telegraphed Suprintendent L.

0. Baker, from Windsor, Canada, saying that he was ill, and asking for a vacation. It is intimated by Colonel Baker thai there is a shortage in Mr. Brown's account, but no statements are made as to the amount. Brown had been in the Western Union's service fully twenty-five years, and has been highly esteemed in a business and social way.

A 12-vear-old son of Mr. Morse, living near Little Rock, Arkansas, was bathing in a pond near the house, when he was suddenly taken with cramps and called to his brother, who was standing on the bank, to save him. The latter sprang into the water to aid his brother, but the letter's weight in addition to his clothing, proved to great, and they both sank never to rise again. Mrs. morse had ran from ber house when the first alarm was given and witnessed the death of her two sons.

She fainted at the sight and when restored to consciousness it was found that she had lost her mind and had become a raving maniac William H. Parker, the American minister to Corea, reports to the secretary of state, that the cholera is still raging throughout Corea. No reliable statistics are kept, but it is estimated that 600 die daily inside the walls of Seoul, and that so far nave died. In Chemulpho about twenty deaths occur daily in the small Corean village. No foreigners have yet been attacked either in Seoul or Chemulpho.

The disease is said to be worse in the oountry than in Seoul, but this the minister can hardly believe. The New York City people have found out that, even if they sucoeed in raising the money for tne uartnoioi statute ana nx it in their harbor, it will not make the impressive appearance they once imagined. It wa through the blazing torch of liberty illuminating the world would be a conspicuous object in the sky at night, flashing its light over the harbor ana serviving ss a lorty beacon to approaching vessels. But it is now known that it will be no such lofty spectacle. Indeed, it will be disappointing, because, when seen from the Battery, the statue will not appear higher than one of the nine-siory uuuuiuyn vuu uny.

Three colored men from North Topeka, one of them being P. W. Barker, pastor of the Baptist charoh, appeared in Vinita I. as a sort of investigating committee from Topeka. They say that James Har-stock, a worthless negro from Vinita, has been organizing secret colored Oklahoma clubs in Kansas City, Atohison, Lawrence and He represents that the government has given the Cherokee negroes permission to settle in Oklahoma, and they have decided to invite members of their race in the states to join them.

It is needle to state that there is no tmth whatever in the assertions, and the delegates were muoa chagrined at the result of their They say that Topeka contains four olubs numbering twelve hundred persons, from which the imposter has secured a goodly sum of money. They were to have started for Uklanoma soon. Evidence of grave official misoonduot has been discovered in connection with the management of the Ohio penitentiary dur ing the past two years. The secret service omcers have been ror some time investigating the matter. Thousands of dollars worth of goods and material are parohased that never come to the penitentiary, out are oon.

signed elsewhere and realized on by officers. while state vouchers have been paid for the same. In addition to the ordinary methods of stealing, there were all sorts of schemes resorted to to run the prison for revenue only. It is said that certain convicts will testify to having been taken out at night to burglarize stores and houses, and that shares of the booty were distributed. There is plenty of evidence showing that such places were sola freely.

II a convict was the blacksmith shop and wanted to be put on a light, pleasant job, he was put up accordingly. A parole law also said to have been utilized as a great source of revenue, It is also learned that a contract was taken to alter eleotion returns at night in the prison. Much evidence is already submitted showing that the oelebrated forgery by which 208 was raised to 08 on one of the tally sheets of Columbus, was done in the penitentiary by convicts serving lor forgery and experts in that line of business.

Not a dozen people in this city could guess what was in a Little cigar box that William A. Atkins, of Provinoetown, Cape Cod, had under his arm when he was here. It you saw it on the side walk you would take particular pains to pass it by, but you would pass by a small fortune, lhe yellow, unpleasant- looking and unpleasant smelling stuff is ambergris of the best quality, and it is worth more per ounce than gold. It is found only in the intestines of a dis eased whale, and is used in the manufac ture of fine colognes. But one vessel this season has reported a find of this sort, and that is the schooner Anterctio, of Provinoetown, commanded by Capt.

George S. Johnson. A whale that she killed in Sanz bay, West Indies, lost Apnl, yielded thirty pounds of amber gris, and it has just arrived home. It is worth nearly $10,000, and is of more value than all the oil the vessel has on board. Mr.

Atkins, who is the owner ot the Antarctic and is at the head of the whaling industry of Cape Cod, had sample of it in the cigar box. As no other ambergris is likely to be brought home this year, he has a corner on the marker. lis Oot the Important Facts, The new reporter who had had expe rienoe as a rural correspondent rushed in to inform his chief that he had the facts ot a very important murder a man shot. "Who was the man asked the chief. "I didn't get his name." "Who shot him?" "I don't know." "What was the cbubo of the shooting?" "I didn't learn." "You got the facts of the case, did "Yes, the important ones; I learned that the pistol was a self-acting revolver of the bull-dozer pattern, thirty-two calibre.

A VERT BAD M1KK CP. One ot the funniest mistakes in the "make-tip" of a newspaper, if it was a mistake, was mode by the foreman of the Detroit Abend Fast, in which the following appeared on last Tuesday Postmaster Oenejul William F. ilas and United States Senator Payne, ot Ohio, arrived here yesterday "on the steamer India, and in the afternoon were sentenced by Judge Hang to sixtw-dnys in the houte ot correction. kind or quality of the food is not always considered; yet one my feed a large amount without Denent to the stock, while by a judicious system of feeding, in proportion to what is required, a lesser quantity may be needed and the cost lowered. As animals differ in the kind ot products they provide, so should the food be regulated to conform to that whioh is expected.

A Jersey cow that gives a inrge yieia oi Dutter irom a small quantity of milk (and some of them have yielded a pound of butter from three quarts ot milk) demands food rioh in tat, and in feeding her for cream the breeder keeps in view the object to be obtained. He expects a large quantity ot batter, and he knows that the fat must come from the food. It the food is defioient in the element most desired the yield will be less, for the reason that, no matter how highly bred the oow may be, nor how capable she is, it is impossible for her to produce anything unless she is provided with the materials with which to manufacture her doily product. Other classes of cows that excel in producing large quantities ot milk, but not so rich in cream, have an equal task to perform. While the proportion of fat required may not be large, yet the milk is nevertheless to be made of certain materials rioh in nitrogen and phosphates.

Her food, while it may be defioient in tut, should be complete as possible in those elements required by her, and in making up her allowance of food she must be fed differently from the cow that produces a large amount of butter in proportion to milk yielded. An animal that is growing requires a more complete ration than one that is matured, for it has not only to supply bodily waste, but also to build up the frame and increase in carcass. It the same kind of food fed to a growing an imal be given to one that is matured the exoess will be voided from the body as manure, simply because the animal cannot appropriate it. In the face of these facts many farmers feed all classes of stock together, making no distinction between the growing steer or the productive cow, the young or the matured, and do not consider that butter and milk are very different in composition, and that special feeding materials must be provided according to the objects fulfilled by each animal. If a due allowance is made for the work done by eaoh animal, and its characteristics observed, a careful and systematic feeding would save hundreds' of pounds of material while the farmer would secure a larger product at a cheaper cost.

With systematic feedinc comes good shelter, as the first important duty performed by the food is to heat the body and repair waste. All over and above the immediate bodily requirement is that which becomes product, and if the heat can be saved by warm stables and dry shelter the smaller will be the quantity required for repair of wastes. The feeding of cornstalks and straw may assist the farmer to winter his stock, but any deficiency of nutriment therein must be provided by a more concentrated food, such as grain, and the grain must be ot the kinds that abound in the principal elements required for the different pur- Winter Dairying. At the New Tork state dairy oonvention Mr. Jessie Owen, ot Elmira, gave some account ot his own methods of dairying and butter-making.

He endeavors to make as muoh butter in win ter as possible. In the fall he used to take all his milk from the cellar and put it in a room above ground, but he now heats the cellar by steam when necessary, and keeps the milk there the year round. He maintains the temperature of the cel lar at 62 degrees to 65 degrees for set ting milk. The cellar is so dry that he frequently gives it a wetting. It is in the basement of the dairy-house, and nothing else is kept there.

He bos a boiler with two-horse engine for churn ing. He has his oows oome in during the fall as far as possible. He lays down a bushel of com and a bushel of oats in his windmill. He puts a bushel of this with a bushel ot wheat bran, and feeds eaoh oow four quarts a wh in milk, also feeding good hay. In his largest barn in cold weather the temper attire never goes below 45 degrees.

Chevraul's predaoeesors, Jerome Cardan, in the six teenth century, claimed to possess the same power. The younger Scaliger says that when he woke up in the night he oould read in the dark without lighting his lamp. This worthy was given to boasting, however, and his statements were generally classed with those of his contemporary and philological rival, Buchmamn, who averred that he had discovered the key to the song ot the angelic choir. But this feat of the Chinese goes to prove that Scaliger may have told the truth. A Btory of Early Days In Worth Dakota.

When the Hon. Geo. Winshin. the well known Dakota editor tells the following story, he always insists that he cooked the flap-jacks while his companion acted as valet de chambre to the horses of the stage company which em ployed them. When Colonel Wm.

Budge takes his turn at his narration he insists that Editor Winsoip shampooned the mules while it was his especial province to navigate the singed but esculent tiap-jacs through its little sea of grease. Howbeit there is one point wherein history spetks with no uncertain voice. It was the habit of each to warn the stage passengers who fell into their hands not to pay the other. Long before the time came for settling each artist managed to run tne passengers on to a point of safe seclusion and there intimated that a payment of the score to the other would not be good for a receipt in full and that tho speaker was the only one authorized to take cash and give a receipt for the same. The dazed passengers usually comprom ised this perplexing state of affairs by paying neither.

It may be here inoidentially men tioned that Colonel William Budge is at this moment a candidate for a seat in the higher house of the Dakota legislature rrom tne urandi ord district, and that Editor Winship is supporting him in his bright daily with a warmth whioh shows that he has forgiven him for the grievous Injury entailed by a protracted diet on the Budge brand of flap-jacks. It may be also intimated that this account should in no way be constructed as a campaign document, pro or oon. It is a simple record of facts concerning two now prominent oitizens of the great territory, in the old grey-back ond pemmi- oan days, when Dakota consisted of a half dozen log shocks at the steamboat landing known as Yankton -in the south; and when the Hon. Jud LaMoure constituted the entire resident population of what is now known as North Dakota. The two gentlemen were at this time running a stage station on the banks of the Ived river of the north, not many miles south ot the international line.

There was no shelter within a day's drive of the point, and their monopoly was ot such iron-clad character that when a passenger on the road from Georgetown to Fort Garry (Winnipeg) objected to paying two dollars for a plate ot flapjack a la Budge, he was taken by the scruff of the neck and the baloon jib of his pantaloons, dragged out, introduced to a hay stack and in formed in the colonel's most impressive manner that he could fill up on marsh hay at half price. There was a noted feature of this bostlene rarely found in kindred institutions. Travelers from the south on approaching the place saw a rudely-constructed sign noiled at the gable, which read: BUDGES TAVERS. Travelers from the north were greeted with a similarly constructed label, whioh read: WINSHIP'S HOTEL. The two names came from a disagreement as to what the station should be christened, and it was thus settled, the north half being known as "Winship's" inasmuch as half as "Budge's." But and the south nearly all the travelers came from the south and so few survived to return from the north, the wiley colo nel in securing a southern exposure for bis sign really accomplished his object, and the place finally became known as "Budge's." The dividing line ran through the fireplace so that things inside were pretty evenly balanced.

This sign-writing fever did not run out until a God-Bless-Our-Home sort of motto was constructed whioh hung over the fireplace. The legend was burned into the cover of a soap-box with a hot poker. It ran: WE ARE NOT HERE FOB OCR HELTH In this settlement the two partners were unanimous. It was about the only point that came up during a year's sojourn at Budge's, concerning which they were in perfect accord. If any one re ferred to the economical spelling of the last word in the presence of Colonel Budge he charged it in the bill.

If it was commented on before the editor, then "Judge" Winship, with great pres ence ot mind always remarked that "the proof-reader muBt have been drunk, as usual, when they went to press with it." There was a division of labor in the shack based upon strictly equitable prin ciples. It had been agreed that the judge and the colonel should alternate each morning in performing the painful office of fire-builder. This was not as serious a job as one would think, for it was their custom to bank the fire over night, and there was always enough em bers left for a respectable blaze to begin with. Xhe fire-place was made of logs, as there was not a stone within thirty miles of the Red River, which were pro tected by a thick oon ting of the tenacious Red River mud. Notwithstanding this the chimney, or rather the wooden part of it, occasionally caught fire, and a bucket of water and a mass of mortar like mud to extinguish the same were ever present as household necessities.

One morning when the mercury was toying with thirty-five below, "Judge" Win ship stuck his head out from under the buffalo hide and saw the entire chimney ablaze, and that the fire was fast spread ing to cover the entire end of the build ing. ITe nudged Colonel Budge, who reposed beside him on the pile of skins which did duty for a bed. "Budge!" "Was up?" The colonel was not sufficiently awake to talk plain. "Budge!" Then crnne a little elbow action, and the colonel in a semi-somno lent cbite drawled out '-whoa!" dreaming of a kicking mule. "Budge, she's a fire again.

"Well, yon need not be so noisy about it There is no need of forgetting that you claim to be a gentleman even the house is a-tire, growled the colonel, who was waking np cross. "Yon spoiled the slickest dream I ever had with your infernal fire-alarm. Why couldn't yon have let me have it ontf And say, while yon bunk with gentlemen you onght, just out of common decency, wear boxing-gloves or something on your elbows. Now yon let me alone. I want to sleep." CJLRLTOH, KANSAS.

Sealed Rooms. Twenty-two rooms in 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, which have been for many years sealed up in accordance with the will of Sir John Soane, will scon be opened. Their contents have naturally been much speculated upon and it is believed by some that valuable art treasures will be found, while others believe that the opening of the sealed rooms will reveal a family secret, perhaps no longer closely affecting the descendants living but interesting to them to know.

The 22nd ot November is a day of ill-omen te the Soane family, as many deaths in their ranks have taken place on it since the death of John Soane. The fixing of the 22nd of November, 1886, by him for an important act is therefore 'the mora extraordinary. Sir John Soane died in 1837, bequeathing to the nation the Soane museum, of which he was the architect. This recalls the sensational episode in the unsealing of the rooms that contained the treasures coveted by the Jesuits, as related in "The Wandering Jew." A TurpaiiUna Farm. A turpentine form must be seen to be appreciated.

When a farm is first pitched the boxes are out one to three in a pine, according to size. The trees are counted into crops of so many thousand, and this is called a virgin crop. The queer little gauge called a buck is then brought to bear and a streak is out above the box, which is simply a deep oval notch, pointing downward so as to lead the gum which exudes into the box below. These boxes are made to hold about a quart. This first rim is as olear as oil, and is the finest of all.

After being dipped out with a paddle, it is distilled, and the hard rosin left is sometimes as white and clear as glass. It is very beautiful, and brings a good price in the great naval stores markets. Second years' gum is not good in quantity, but fully so in quantity. Third year boxes, when the hackings have made the scar high np, are still poorer, and from then on the crops hardly piy for working. A Ksmarkabln Englishman.
