Our Glen wood preachers are receiv
ing a state noteriety because of the

We think the people at the Junc

tiring efforts of Mr. II. II. Wi.kins,
the agent of the combined railroads
there, for his efforts to make them as

he has sacrificed his own comfort at

Two men, owners- of the fishing

driving a lively trade, this week, as
ferrymen over the murky waters of
the booming Missouri, charging a dol

We learn of several cases where

arrived on the afternoon train and
went direct to the residence where tlfe
knot was tied. After which the groom
went about town to attend to some
business, and as he was returning, the
bride inquired of one of the inmates
"if that was her man." There was ev
idently more business than affection
done up in that little transaction.

sleep-destroying cow-bell breaks in to
make life tortuous. The cows, even
the amorous ones, are not to be blam
ed for wearing bells and do not de
serve the bricks and bad language that
are h tilled at them nightly by shirt
clad citizens. But there is no word of
apology to offer for the thing calling
itself a man that will fasten the bell
on the bovine."
Grape Culture.
The following brief, practical and
condensed rules for the management
o-f grapes were given by Dr. W liiting,
at the Farmers' Institute, receiiily
held at Saginaw. Mich.:
The soil best suited lor the grape is
decomposed shale, but any good clay
soil, thoroughly drained, will do.
The ground should be carefully pre
pared, stud only well-rotted manure
used.
Decomposed turf is one of the best
fertilizers; when it can be obtained,
no other will be required.
The vines selected lor planting
ioul.1 be good one-year-old layers or
cuttings. They may look small, but
will make the best vines.
Good culture is as necessary to the
vines as to corn or cabbaage.
Mulching and watering the first year
should not be neglected, if drouth is
excessive. One good soaking is better
than many sprinklings. More water
can be saved with a hoe than can be
put on with a sprinkler.
In planting, cut the vine hack to two
buds, whatever its age and strength.
Summer pruning consists in pinch
ing off weak and struggling shoots, in
order to confine the sap to the main
brauclies.
The first summer allow but one main
shoot to grow. In the fall, after the
first frost, cut all the summer growth
back to within two buds of the
ground.
The second year confine the sap to
two branches, and in the fall cut back
to three buds each.
The third year, if your vine has
made vigorous growth, a few stems of
grapes may be allowed to mature; but
better take off ail the fruit than to
suffer too much to grow.
Too heavy bearing while young will
weaken the vine for all future time.
The trimming now depends on what
kind of trellis you wish to cover.
After you have obtained a good,
vigorous root, you can make it grow
in almost any place or shape you wish,
by keeping the Lraucii s desired tied
up. and ail tie others pinched back.
"Ton can easily tell how much io cut
away by Itolding your new wood up to
the trellis, aud imagine it branch with
three s:ems of grapes for each bud.
If you do not cut off enough in the
fall, aud you tind that t he vine is go
ing to be too thick, don't fail to attend
to it when the new shoots are from
three to six inches long, in tire spiing,
or while in blossom. As soon as the
fruit is set, examine the vine, spread
out the new wood so that each bunch
of grapes will hang free and clear;
pick lf all Hie small stems of fruit,
and fas. en ihe vine securely, so that
the wind will not destroy your crop by
breaking Ihe young and tender branch
es. When the w ood has grown so that
there are three leaves bevond lhi last
bunch of grapes, examine the vine, se
lect the branches you wish to have for
fi uit-beai ing t he coininj year, and keep
them tied up until th y have grown as
long a you wish to make use of. The
ends of the other bearing branched
should be pinched off as soon as they
reach this point, "ihiee leaves beyond
the last stem of grapes."

Itrady's) Defense.
N. Y. Tinis.
As soon as Mr. llrady, late Second
Assistant Postmaster-General, had
precipitately resigned his ollice. he
came to New York. In this city he
has ever since remained. If he were
innocent of any evil or dishonest in
tention in his discharge of official du
ty, he would have staid in Washing
ton, where he is on trial. lint, being
in New York, where ho is less con
spicuous than in Washington, I13
writes to the Herald an elaborate and
painful defense of his course. The de
fense is painful because it is manifest
that it has been xtorted from him by
i the pressure of cucuiustances. All
! criiniiijils, when hard pressed, try to
' find relief in addressing them to some
j immaterial point in the case against
mem. .Mr. Jirauy, 111 like manner,
rests his case upon the comparatively
unimportant fact that Congress has
voted the money needed to supply the
deficiencies in the star route service.
The history of the scandal in Congress
is one which few of the Congressmen
who stood by Brady will be willing to
see reopened. The appropriation for
the year ending June 'M, 1SS0, was
spent within a few months after the
ye-ir began. Th s, of itself, was a pro
ceeding which could be justified only
by extreme necessity. No such neces
sity txisted, ami tlie deficiency was
tardily reported to Congress. When
it was reported, the Postmaster-Genera!,
who was but the feeble echo of
Brady, said that he would be obliged
to curtail the mail service generally,
unless something was done at once to
make good the scantiness of his bal
ance. This was in the nature of a
threat. Unless Congress made good a
deficiency which was variously estima
ted at from 1,173,000 to $2,000,000,
not only the increased service which
had been unwarrantably contracted
for, but the original service, for which
the regular appropriations would have
been sufficient, must be discontinued.
The premature exhau.-tion of the ap
propriation was in defiance of all rules
of business, and in utter disregard of
the interests of the Treasury. It is
now a year since Tim Times, speaking
of this business, said : "It is not too
much to say that if the action of the
Post Office Department had been dic
tated by a r'ng of greedy and unscrup
ulous contractors, bent on plundering
the Treasury under forms of law, and
plotting to place the Government at
the greatest possible disadvantage, it
would not have been different from
what it actually was."
The defense of Brady was that this
enormous augmentation of iln; postal
service had been solicited by members
of Congress, and that they had assur
ed him in advance that his action
would be condoned, even approved, if
he persevered in his extravagance.
The sequal proved that Brady's trust
in Congressmen was not in vain, 'l i e
House inserted in an appropriation
bill a clause which provided that tin
fraudulent star route contracts should
be rescinded on Oct. 1. unfes3 the con
tractors should submit to a reduction
of i0 per cent, of the recent increase.
The senate struck out that clatise of
the bill, and it is r.otoiiotis that this
was accomplished by the open and
shameless lobbying of the tricksters
who were going and coming at Brady's
bidding.
The names of some f these men
have since been printed in the Times'
reports of the true inwardness of the
star route ring. Possibly, some of the
Congressmen who supported the
claims ot Brady and his gang honestly
believed that the country demanded
an increase of mail facilities. But 110
man who looked into the matter as
certain members of the House and
Senate certainly did, could have been
so imposed upon as lo vote for an in
dorsement of Brady's extravagant pol
icy. Is it in the bounds of leason,
that Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, for
example, who was on both sides of
this question, at different times, really
believed that public policy would jus
tify an increase of mail service Le
tween the village of vinita. Indian
Territory, and the town of Las Vegas,
New Mexi'-o, to such an extent that it
should cost S150.3!)3. when it had
only cost 86,3:30 a mouth before?
This is preposterous, but it is not
more absurd, on its face, than many
other of tlie propositions upon which
tlie disgraced ex-Assistant-Post-Mas-ter-Geneial
bases his defense.
In the face of the fact that he in
creased the cost of the smallest branch
of the postal service to an enormous
and unprecedented extent, spending
millions where hundreds of thousands
had before been sufficient, Mr. Brady
has the assurance to say that this was
done in pursuance of Post-Master-General
Key's "liberal p.dicy," and in
pursuance of the recommendations of
Congressmen. In consequence of this
noble and patriotic action, Brady. ;ic-.
coiding to his own account, has been
le.-t by "pieis brigands," who have
endeavored to black-mail the virtuous
star ionic contractors whom he has
defended. lit has "set his face as a

The Dress Kiddle.
BY JENNIE JUNE.
There was a time when sanguine
women believed in a iiiillenitim of
j dress as well as one from the point of
1 view of the political economist, but
) those of them who bestow.any thought
on the matter have long ago given up
this idea, and hope for nothing except
that which is represented by the
growth of the individuals and the in
dustrial progress of the race, which
bears with it changes Unit confront us
sis necessities ami create revolutions
in clothing, as in other things, in a
quiet but thoroughly effective way.
In the meantime, individuals have
their destinies in this respect in their
own hands, Out of the disorder that
reigns, it is perfectly possible to create
a quiet, graceful, refined style of dress,
that does not outrage or even disturb
any existing mode, yet is independent
of it and more in accordance with gen
eral requirements and womanly in
stincts. The cultivated classes anionp
women are working this out for them
selves very successfully. It is not a
cultivated class, though it may be a
moneyed class, who army themselves
in beaded costumes and theatrical look
ing bonnets for the street, who wear
half long sleeves and half bare arms
covered with bangles upon the side
walks, who make short skills si mere
pretense for exhibiting scailet stock
ings and red edged rullles upon their
skirts, iind make no pretense of con
cealing the amount of paint and pow
der upon the skin by covering with a
narrow strip of black and white dotted
veiling. Is this attire suited to a
modest woman? Does it not preju
dice her iu the eyes of all men?
Walking up Broadway one bright
afternoon recently, it was sickening to
see the number of young girls and
comparatively young women, well-fed,
over-dressed, lounging, sauntering,
without an apparent object or purpose,
and with an insolent assurance of
manner that looked down upon self
respecting industry as something in
finitely below them. It is these that
keep the ranks of wretched women
thrown upon the world without le-
source.s and without the means of
helping themselves always full. It is
impossible to blame men for putting a
low estimate on women so long as any
coiisideralbe number of women justify
it in this way. or permit themselves to
be so inisrepi esented-
A walk down Broadway in the
morning does not thus cfl'end one's
sense of the divine harmony and fit
ness of tilings. The women upon the
street aie quietly and sensibly dressed.
They walk steadily sis if with a pur
pose. Their dark hats and jackets are
no more conspicuous than those of
men and their very appearance an
nounces that theirexpeditionhas.ipur
pose ami means "business." If exer
cise is to be taken there are other ways
of obtaining it t ban to dress in ques
tionable t.iste in sin exaggenited man
ner, and saunter up and down si busi
ess thoroughfare sit the time of the
day when gentlemen are returning to
their homes, :ind for no other apparent
purpose than to be met by them.
A trousseau of this description, made
with care and showing in every detail
such refinement of tsiste is more rare
now-a-days than formerly. Thirty
years sigo all line underwesir was hand
made, and mother's superintended the
preparation of th ir daughter's bridal
outfits if they did not assist in doing
the s wing. Every aiticle in those
days, and still more strictly in the
years of the haif century that preceed
cd these, was arranged and laid away
with loving care until all were com
pleted; and the tenderness and mother
hood thus inwiouht were si talisman,
si sale-guard stud si benediction for the
years to come. Thsit was a worthy
outcome of abundant means, of delicate
tastes, of refined hsibiis, but what does
wealth and what we call "luxury" do
now? It takes twice, thrice, five times
the amount of money, smd it goes to
one of the mammoth ladies' furnishing
establishments smd buys a quantity of
ready inside garments showily trim
med with plenty of cheap lace smd em
broidery. The bride to-be isdelighted.
he has wanted just such tilings for
years. Some ,of her friends have
thf in, and there's so much lace ;uul
milling every where, and they are so
cheap" thsit she wonders, smd so dots
her idle smd foolish mother, how any
woman can be so "silly" sis to take the
trouble to make or have underwear
made now-n-days. But it is not too
much to say that the hundred dollars'
worth of cheap, trsishy cotton and cot
ton l ice lay sit the foundation of many
wrecked lives. They sue worth less
for wesir, especially when subjected to
the average household and laundry
washing, smd have to be replaced out
of a small sahuy, or the income of si
man perhaps struggling to establish
hinsell in business. The glamour has
all been taken stwsiy the bride of si
few months is loud in her complaints
of the wretchedness of the stuff which
had set-med shortly before so indispen
sable to her happiness, but she dues
tit.t know, or has not thejhabit of do
ing any better, for she goes 011 commit
ting, to the extent of the means she
can control, the same folly over and
over again.
