THE ADVEETISER.
FAIRIJROTHER & HACKER, Publishers.
BROWNVILLE, : NEBRASKA
DAWS.
O whispering breath of the morning !
Float up from the languid south,
And kiss the blossoms adorning,
The earth Kith your scented mouth;
Caress with your tender fingers
The bed where the lilies sleep;
Sigh where the violet lingers
And the sad-eyed pansies weep;
Awaken the rose from its dreaming,
Play w th the daffodil's hair;
Flit where in dew-drops streaming
The s'-ar-crowned daisies stare.
O breath of the breezy gloaming!
Sweep from the eastern sky
The clouds that the night in her roaming,
Hath let oer the rivers lie;
Snafh from her shadowy garments
The glories of purple and red
Scatter them over the mountains,
To tell us the night hath fled,
O breeze of the dawning tender!
CmII up from its dreamless rest,
"Willi your tale of the morning's splendor,
Each bird from its mossy nest.
Fill up the woodlands and meadow6
"With the music of swallow and thrush ;
Sweep the gray mists from the valleys;
Looeu the streams with a rush.
Then beckon with loving angers,
0 breath of tie summer 6weet!
To the dawn that so coyly lingers ,
O'er the mountains with laggard feet,
She will come with her round cheek flushing,
To brighten the waiting world;
And the sombre night, at her blushiag,
Shall into dark void be hurled.
FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cultivated "IVlicut and IIc.si:in
Fly.
It is now n well established fact that
the Hessian fly is much less trouble
some on wheat that is sown in drills,
between which the cultivator is passed
now and then during the early growth
of the grain. Two fields of wheat
growing side by side, one of which is
cultivated and the other not, but alike
in all other respects, seems strong proof
of the truth of the above statement.
Value of Compost.
Farmers who know the value of com
post, and know how to make it. increase
their manuie pile. In this way hun
dreds of loads are made annual!, the
material being gathered on the premise-!,
such as forest leaves, cornstalks
(including the roots), weeds, vines,
loam from fence corners, muck from
ponds and ditches, occasional sprinkling
of lime through the mass, layers of
barnyard manure, and thus build up ob
long squares and let them remain over
whiter.
Popular Potatoes.
The Dutchess Fanner says the "Early
Rose1' is now the most popular variety
of the potato in the New York market.
Those coming from Maine and the prov
inces are the purest and of most uni
form good quality. First quality "Ear
ly Rose1' are also produced in New
York, but in many parts the have be
come mixed with the "Late Rose,1'
which hurts their cooking qualities, and
causes the objectionable red color some
times seen when cooked. The "Peach
blow" is a standard old time variety,
still in good demand. The "Peerless"
is a heavy yielder, and sells more cheap
ly, but it is of coarser quality. The
"Snow-flake" is a promising new vari
ety. Nova Scotia "Prolifies" are also
generally liked.
A Texas Plan of Keeping' Sweet
Potatoes.
Go into the woods and cut a hollow
tree, about six inches in diameter and
five feet long. Cut holes in the sides
of this and place one eud in the ground.
Lay straw all around the "pipe," and
on this lay potatoes, and pile them up
in a pyramidal form to the top of the
"pipe!1" Then get. straw and la over
them, also corn stalks, pretty heavily,
and throw on dirt until the pile is cov
ered good at least six inches. Do not
cover the top of the "pipe" for two or
three weeks, so that the steam arising
from the potatoes can escape. At the
first intimation of cold weather cover
the "pipe," but always open it in good
weather. To get into this bank, as we
call it, simply make a hole in the south
side to put your hand in, but keep it
covered, also, when not in use. By this
method a small family can, with very
little trouble, keer all their potatoes
through the winter.
Some Tilings Farmers Should
Know.
As a general thing the farmer is lia
ble for all the public injury his hired
man may cause while aetuallyemployed
by him. f he sends him into his lot to
burn old brush, and he, for any purpose
whatever.leaves it and the fire runs into
his neighbor's, destroying his fence and
injuring his crops, the farmer is liable
for the damages caused by the wanton
neglect of his man. If he sends a hired
man on the road with his team, and "he,
by negligence, runs into another vehicle
and injures it, the farmer is liable for
the damages; but should the hired man
leave the road he w:is directed to go,
and travel another road for his own
pleasure, then the farmer would not be
liable for the damages should any acci
dent occur. If a lured man, in going
to or from the lot with a scythe, and by
the careless handling or carrying in
jures a passer-by, the farmer is liable
for damage. If in cutting wood the hired
man cuts down a tree in another lot, the
farmer is liable for trespass and dam
ages, although he distinctly showed him
the bouudary; and though the man may
have cut the tree with" maliciousness,
run into a team,even if it block his way,
yet the farmer must pay the damage,
though done contrary to his positive or
der. In all these cases the farmer can
compel the hired man to pay him back
if he has anything to pay with; but this
"is rarely the case unless the fanner keeps
back his wages and only settles when
. his time expires.
Tlie 3Eost Enduring Fences.
Of all fences the most enduring and
the most satisfying to the eye is the
stone wall. If its - foundation is well
laid it may last as longras the-world
which, indeed, it ma slowly sink into;
or the acctvmulating layers "of earth
niay cover it; but it will still be a wall
a grassy ridge with a core of stone. A
wall soon gets rid of its new look. It is
not propped up on the earth, but has its
foundations in it; mosses and lichens
take quickly and kindly to it, and grass
and weeds grow out of its lower crevi
ces; mullein and brakes and the bulby
stalks of golden-rodspring up beside it.
Black raspberry bushes loop along it,
over it, and stretch out from it: clumps
of sweet elders shade its sides, and
their broad cymes of blossoms, and
later, clusters of blackberries, beloved
of robins and school-boys, bend over it.
When the stones of which it is built are
fathered from the fields, as they gen
erally are in the east, they are of infi
nite variety, brought from the far
north by glaciers, washed up by the
waves of ancient seas, and tumbled
down to the lower lands from the over
han'nng ledges. Lumps of gray gran
ite and meiss, and dull-red blocks of
sandstone, fragments of blue limestone,
and only a geologist knows liow many
others, mostly with smooth worn sides
and rounded corners and edges. All
together, they make a line of beautiful
variegated color, and of light and
shade. One old wall the writer knows
of has been a rich mine for a brood of
callow geologists, who have pecked it
and overhauled it, and looked and talk
ed most wisely over its stones, and call
ed them names hard enough to break
their stony hearts.
Feeding Horses.
Woodford (Kjr.) Sun.
More horses are annually killed or
injured by overfeeding and by injudi
cious feeding than by starving or most
other causes. In horses we can detect
as many different temperaments and
dispositions as in man, though but few
horse owners take this fact into consid
eration in the management of tbir
horses, particularly in that part of it re
lating to food and feeding. Some horses
are natural gluttons, and they must be
seen to carefully, or they will at times
be apt to seriously injure themselves Dy
feeding too fast, while most of the food
they consume will pass through them
undigested, for the simple reason that
it is swallowed before it has been prop
erly masticated.
We like to see what is termed a
"good feeder" (one who does not mince
or pick over his food), but then we are
not at all partial to the ravenous ones.
Such a horse as the latter named will
dive into his feed with his mouth wide
open, and invariably take more at a
mouthful than he can either hold in his
mouth or properly masticate. There
are several ways to fix such fellows, one
way being to mix some little fine hay
with his oats, while moistening the oats
or feeding cut food prevents him from
pandering to his greedy propensities. A
horse with a delicate appetite is usually
a tender, delicate animal, and not at all
desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses, noanatter whether on farms
for farm work, or for driving purposes,
is, they feed too much hay; and to this
cause can be attributed the general slug
gishness often manifested by the horses
until they have been working a couple
of hours, while the wind is also impair
ed. Night is the only time when hay
shoulJ be fed, especially to animals used
for quick work. Even the slow plow
team should have but little hay at the
morning and noon feeds; but give them
a generous supply at the evening nic.il.
By doing this your horse will keep in
better spirits and condition and free
from any tendency to "pot-belly" which
horsemen so dislike to see.
England's Cat Show.
From the London Newg, Oct. 7.
xMthough the twelfth national cat
show which opened at the Crystal Palace
yesterday, was scarcely equal in num
bers to some of its predecessors, it was
unquestionably better in quality. The
animals were divided into classes, under
the description of short haired and long
haired cats. In the former the prizes
for tortoise shell male cats headed the
list; but the species seems to have be
come a rare one, for the pure tortoise
shell Tom was unrepresented, and there
were but two entries in tortoise shell and
white.
The peculiarities of some of the exhib
its attracted much attention from the
numerous crowd of visitors during the
day. For instance, Mr. W. Luke Evans
showed an English black-and-white pet,
Blackie by name, four years old, which
is accustomed to. sit up and beg like a
dog. Blackie also possesses considera
ble skill in shaking hands, and entered
the exhibition with the prestige of having
won a prize two years ago. In the
class devoted exclusively to black cats,
Miss L. Green's Celowayo was the sub
ject of much notice. The cosmopolitan
nature of the show may be gathered
from the fact that one of unusual color,
sent for inspection by Mrs. Powell, was
born in the Dobrudscha while the same
exhibitor sent a cat which was a native
of Kustendje on the Black sea. In the
department allotted to male short-haired
there are butlhreefintriesnf taJllnssAIanv
any color. Among the female cats the
red Tabby appeared to be quite as scarce
a specimen as the tortoise shell Tom
over the way.
The accomplishments and attainments
of the animals were fully set forth,
and undoubtedly a very distinguished
cat was Mr. Wookcy's Minnie, 4 years
old, and winner of the first prize as a
kitten in 1877, the second prize in 1878,
and the first prize in 1879, at the Crystal
Palace: the first prize in the present
year at Ncwcastle-on-Tyne, and the
Baroness Burdette-Coutts' gold medal
Another pet, Mr. Thomas Weightruan's
Mistletoe, a white, long haired beauty,
10 years old, and the winner of 89 first
prizes, 3 second, arid 11 special. The
price of this one was set down at 100.
Others were appraised at 100 guineas,
many were not for sale at all, while
two white cats shown by Mrs. Staples
Browne, which answered respectively
to the names of Simon and Snow, and
both first-prize animals, were each, as
sessed at7917s. 7d. as the market price.
The longhaired species appeared to be the
favorites with the visitors, and here it
may be remarked that there was only
one black long haired Tom in the ex
hibition. Much amusement was caused by an
announcement in the compartment in
tended to have been occupied by Miss E.
Acklamrs Persian, Lion, that, being
without his winter coat, he was unable
to enter an appearance. In class 27, as
signed to male long haired cats of unu
sual color, the first prize of 1 was won
by Mr. G. Edson; the second by Mr. W.
Grist's Haroun, and the third by Mrs.
Powell. This was sent to England sev
en months ago by Aga Khan, and is de
scribed as an imported Persian. There
were special prizes for workingmen's
cats, and in this category was Tit, 8
years and 6 months old, the heaviest in
the show, and weighing 161 pounds.
Of animals with remarkable character
istics, a Persian white may be mentioned,
with one eye blue and the othereye yellow.
From these facts it will be seen that the
show is full of interesting features,
many of the exhibits are comfortably
cushioned and all are well cared for.
A Heroine in a Fix.
London Truth
I used to be acquainted with the late
G. P. R. James, whose novels were at
one time enjoying a very large circula
tion. One day I called upon lihn, as we
had agreed to go out somewhere togeth
er. 1 found him dolefully seated over a
manuscript. He was not writing, but
he was gazing at it with melancholy de
spair. I thought that he was ill, and
ask ed him whether this was the case.
No, he said, he was physically well.
What, then, was the matter with him?
I anxiously enquired. "It is my hero
ine," he answered. "I have got her
into such a fix that I cannot extricate
her without a slight violation of the
rules of propriety." "Then let her be
improper, and don't let us be late for
the train," I flippantly said. "My dear
friend," he replied, "do you want to
ruin me? Are you not aware that I live
by never allowing my heroines to do
anything to which the most stringent
mamma might object? If once the
slightest doubt were raised about my
novels being sound reading for the most
innocent of school-room girl my occu
pation would be gone." And so we
missed the train, but the heroine emerged
from the pages of the novel a model of
all that a heroine ought to be under the
most difficult circumstances.

PIKE'S PEAK.
The Old Landmark a Seething Volcano.
Co'orado SprlnK Gazette.
The probability of a volcano existing
in the Rocky mountains has never en
tered the minds of our citizens. Con
clusive evidence that such a thing does
exist and not very far from Colorado
Springs, has recently been furnished us
by Sergeant u neeie oi me signal ser
ving. The first knowledge that was erv
en us of this peculiar and newly discov
ered phenomenon was reported last Sat
urday afternoon, and since that time a
Gazelle reporter, under the guidance of
Sergeant O'Keefe, visited" the scene of
what proved to be one of the most won
drous discoveries ever brought to light
in this mountain region.
Nearly all of the citizens of Colorado
Springs have seen or read of the crater
which is located near the summit and
just west of the Peak. It has always
been conceded by scientists that this self
same crater had in times gone by been
the scene of a terrible eruption, as par
ticles of lava had been discovered in the
crevices of the rock adjoining it Those
who have investigated more closely the
various formations which are peculiar
to a volcanic mountain generally have
allir-aed that the Pike's Peak crater has
in its center a circular or cup-like open
ing through which lava has certainly
been emitted.
It was on the night of the 29th of Oc
tober that the crater first displayed any
sifrns of volcanic activity. Sergeant
O'Keefe was aroused from his slumbers
by a dreary, doleful sound, which appar
ently eminated from beneath the signal
station. His first convictions were that
it was an earthquake, but this impres
sion was soon dispelled by the fact that
the sound still continued without any
signs of a jar. The sergeant concluded
to investigate the cause of this myste
rious sound, and he, in company with
his assistant, Mr. F. L. Jones, dressed
themselves and started out in search of
the cause. They had barely stepped
over the door sill when a bright flash.
at first thought to be lightning, sur-
monntcd the Peak. It was only of a
second's duration and the Peak was again
clothed in darkness. From this time on
the sound heretofore described seemed
to decrease until the usual quiet of the
solemn mountain peak was again re
stored. The following day Serjeant O'Keefe
visited the crater, feeling confident that
the sound heard on the night previous
had eminated from that source. What
was his surprise on looking down into
the crater to discover vapor curling up
from the cup-like enclosure. This dis
cover only prompted him to further
continue his researches, and after two
hours laborious climbing he found him
self standing within about two hundred
yards of the crater chimney. The heat
"even at this distance was very oppres
sive, and the ground about him was cov
ered with pulverized ashes and lava,
which had been emitted from what he
believed to be an incipient volcano.
O'Keefe was lost in astonishment.
The snow for a distance of half a mile
from the crater had entirely disappeared.
This was all the more remarkable as it
had upon the day previous been several
feet in depth. The sergeant was very
much astonished at the remarkable dis
covery thus brought to light, but he was
not deceived by the calm. He was con
vinced that the absolute repose which
the volcano then displayed would be of
short duration.
Since the 29th of October but one erup
tion has occurred, and that was on the
night of November 7th, when another
one similar to that which occurred on
the 29th, only more violent, occurred.
Sergeant O'Keefe happened to be up on
the roof of the signal station on this oc
casion and he portrays the majesty of
the scene as the grandest that he lias
ever witnessed, not excepting that of
vesuviusrscen oy mm in leuz when ne
was a lad and before he left his native
Ireland for America.
The eruption began with a trcmen
dous burst, which shook Pike's Peak to
its very foundation, hurling into the air
dense clouds of ashes and lava. lliese
explosions succeeded each other with
rapidity and increased violence for about
one hour, when the volcano seemed to
enter into a profound sleep. During the
eruption the clouds are strongly illumi
nated by the reflection of the glowing
lava in the crater, giving the scene the
appearance of a vast conflagration.
This will account for the peculiar light
which has been noticed by the sheep
herders on the plains east of this city.
Sergeant O'Keefe informs us that the
flow of the lava tends toward Ruxton's
creek, whence the water supply of the
city is procured, and there is no doubt
that the hot lava will, if it reac es the
creek, so heat the water that it will be
of no earthly use for drinking purposes.
It is evident that the eruption has but
lust begun, and should it continue any
length of time the e is no doubt but
that Colorado Springs will meet the same
fate as that which destroyed the flour
ishing cities of Pompeii and Jiercula-
neum. The flow of lava has already ex
tended a distance of three miles from
the mouth of the crater, and only two
eruptions have taken place.
Mary Wollstonecraft.
Geo E. Woodbcrr- in Atlantic
A liberal woman who speaks out her
whole mind is nearly certain to give of
fense; for liberality implies a disposi
tion to tolerate condemned views and to
introduce new practices, both of them
actions inconsistent with that bearing
which the ordinary man admires in
woman. For this reason Mary Woll
stonecraft gave offense in her own day
by originating and advocating opinions
which are now so familiar that we for
get they ever were original, and can
hardly believe there was ever any ne
cessity for advocating them. Her work
and life, therefore, are a tide mark of
opinion, and are valuable on that ac
count, even if they possess no other vir
tue for us; they reveal the great ebb of
convention and prejudice in our centu
ry; the advance our time has made in
lines of civilization more important
than material progress in the ideal of
life, and the opportunities granted by
legislation and public opinion, for the
attainment of that ideal. The causes
which she served are now living, and
many of them are advanced in victory
probably beyond her hope; the abuses
she denounced- are dead or languishing.
There is only one act of hers wnich will
meet with universal blame, and that
was an error in conduct for which her
early experience and the support of
contemporary speculation plead forci
bly. The race has found the institution
of marriage too essential to social safety
to allow any attack upon it to pass un
questioned. She, by her conduct if not
by her pen, set herself against this, and
was consequently overborne and tram
pled down, her name slandered, and the
virtue that was in her lost sight of; for,
in such cases, the ordinary man is in
capable of discriminating between acts
which result from defective theories and
those which result from moral dearavity
rooted in licentiousness and sensuality.
Excepting this error, it would be diffi
cult to find in her life anything more
blameworthy than rational and active
liberalism.
Posterity has passed her by, for she
performed no notable act and" produced
no great literary work. She exercised
only a contemporary influence (I find,
however, an unknown authority assert
ing that she exercised a direct and pow
erful influence upon Englishwomen,
particularly in the provinces, for fifty
years); but, like the character of for
gotten ancestors shaping in some de
gree our own acts and thoughts, her
work lives in the great body of public
opinion, which in respect to the themes
she treated is so much more elevated
and pure than it was a century ago.
She lies among the undistinguished
dead ; but it is a grateful task to recall
the names of those who have contribu
ted to make human life more clean and
more beneficent.
The circumstances of her life and the
character of her opinions it is easy to
tell; but there is comparatively no re
cord of the woman whose feminine
charm and beauty are lost to memory,
except so far as the applause of her
friends and the loveliness of her por
traits reveal them. In one of these
portraits there is a peculiar charm of
nvnrnccinn of sinin n ltrrntfi' OTWl 1 Tin-
thos, that stirs compassion in the heart.
Looking upon it, it is easy to believe
that she was courageous, enduring, and,
loving in life, as well as original,

her frie'nds with the graees of a mind
cultivated by literature and acquainted
with philosophy; that she was as open
to human emotion and sympatcy as to
the loveliness of nature, her joy in
which, before the days of Burns andj
Wordsworth, was her refuge and comr,
fort; that in her struggle with life she
neither lost nor harmed the most ad
mirable quantities of womanhood. I
am tempted to link her name with that
of George Sand; in many ways she sug
gests the great Frenchwoman; vast as'
was the difference in their genius, they
belong to the same order of women.
Her name, nevertheless, which seems to
me the name of the worthiest English
woman in literature up to her time, will.
remain obscure; and the last memory of
her will be, that over her grave m o

Polygamy as an Investment.
Utah Letter.
We halted at a way station for dinner.
A white haired but not very sanctimo
nious saint occupied the chair next to
me.
"A resident of the country?" I asked.
"Oh, yes; for twenty-five years."
"Married?"
"Some."
"More than one wife?"
"I think so. I've got a few scattered
about here and there.

have made a
living if
"How's that?"
"Well, you see, stranger, I used to
think a good deal as you do. I had 1G0
acres jf land and one wife, but didn't
make much headway. There was too
much work for one man to attend to.
Finally I froze to a second wife. She
took her share of the burdens like a per
fect brick, and affairs moved on in bet
ter shape. Then I got to thinking if
two wives were better than one, three
would be better than two; consequently
I took a third, and my affairs improved
still more. I mapped out the business
of the ranch and gave No. 1 her part,
and gave a part to No. 2, and a part to
No. 3, and took a part myself. Every
thing went on like clock work. Our
little community was thoroughly organ
ized. Finally I concluded that a fourth
wife would be quite an advantage, and
1 looked around and secured licr. I
found that the more wives I had the
more land I could work. I now ope
rate 240 acres of one kind and another,
and have six wives to assist me, and
I've got things so systematized down
that everything goes on quite lovely,
and I don't have much to do myself.
Polygamy is a great institution, my
friend, an! you'll never succeed in the
world-, until inn- mam: a. fnu? f io-.
Sometimes one of my wives gets a little
offish like, but instead of making a
great row about it and getting a divorce,
I simply stay away a day or two, and
then when I do happen around she
smiles all over her face and loves nie in
a desperate fashion. Oh, yes, I may
many several times yet before I die,
add the more women I marry the richer
I expect to be."
This talk was by no means sophistry,
as I afterward ascertained. A portion
of the women of Utah are slaves.
See Your Own Country First.
Olive Logan, in a letter to the San
Francisco Call, says: What strange
things Americans do! On board the
ship was the New York gentleman with
his wife and family three young chil
dren, one a baby in arms, who have
been itemized in all the leading- Euro
pean papers as having made the earliest
ascension this year of the Righi and oth
er Swiss mountains. The idea of a nurs
ing baby being brought 4,000 miles
across sea and land to ascend the Righi
is one that never would have suggested
itself to a parent of any nationality but
an American, I venture to assert. The
baby bore his honors with dignified
grace, but there were moments when I
fancied his meditative mode of sucking
his thumb showed full appreciation of
his own exploits, and a disdain for other
men of a twelve month's growth less en
terprising than himself. They say noth
ing in respect to eccentricity from either
English or Americans can surprise a
Swiss inn-keeper. One of these worthies,
whose hotel at Lueiene is so run down
with custom that he can afford to brave
the occasional anger of a guest, has got
some beautiful photographs of mountain
scenery, which he is fond of showing to
his American patrons. No one has ever
failed to admire them, and one and all
are anxious to know in what part of
Switzerland these magnificent peaks are
to be found that they may proceetl to
visit them without delay. They are far
from here, replies Boniface. Oh, that
is no objection, urge the hardy moun
taineers. It costs a good deal to get
there, continues mine host. But, dear
me, money is no object when mountain
seeking is in question. Then, why on
earth, queries the compatriot of William
Tell, didn't you go to them before you
came to the Alps? They are the White
mountains in your own country, and if
I were an American I should be asham
ed to say I had no acquaintance with
them.
The Row Caused by Onion Shilling.
Dr. Louis Bosse, of St. Louis, was
married last July. Now his wife is sue
ing for a divorce. Her chief cause of
complaint is given in her testimony as
follows: "W e had a roast duck for din
ner, with onion stuffing. When he saw
the onions he got just like a wild man,
and threw down his knife and fork,
cursed me and called me names, and
asked me what kind of eating that was.
He wouldn't sit down to the table then,
but went and sat down in the kitchen.
I wasn't eating then and he asked me
why I didn't eat. I said to him. -If you
will not eat I will not eat either.' He
then said: 'II you don't sit down this
very moment and eat I will show you
who is bos of this house, you or I.' He
forced me " to go to the table and sit
down, and I took some victuals on my
plate just to please him, but I couldn't
eat. He then went and got a stick,
stood behind mv chair and said to me:
'Here, do you see that stick? That is
for you, and if you will not cat now I
will break this stick on your back. I
will break every bone in your body. Fill
up your plate and eat,' " I then filled
my plate for good, and he kept standing

A RAILROAD SCENE.
A lectins;
Incident on a
Train.
Rock Inland
DaTcnport Democrat.
r On Friday morning a bright little
;girl was placed on the C, R. I. & P.
Strain from Kansas City to Davenport,
'the person who brought her to the cars
'requesting the conductor to be very par
ticular and deliver the child into the
hands of nobody but certain persons at
Muscatine, who would be at the depot
in that city for the purpose of receiv
ing it; and the conductor promised to
comply. The chill seemed contented
enough, and the passengers near her.
as well as the conductor, were pleased
with her beauty and brightness. At
Fairfield, Iowa.'a nicely dressed and
.handsome woman, rather dashing
woman, rather dashing in
liber-"?appearance, entered the coach, and was
walking through it, when the child
called to her "mama, oh mama!" The
woman turned and asked, "Did you
speak to me, child?" And the child re
plied, "Oh, mama, don't you know me
I am your little girl!" and then
bounded " towards her. The woman
held the child at arms length for a mo
ment, and then seemed completely over
come sinking to "the floor, and clasp
ing the child to her in almost frenzied
delight. She stated to the conductor
that she was the child's mother, but had
not seen the little one for nearly three
years; then he told her the directions he
received when the girl was placed in
his care and she begged the privilege
of riding with the child as far as Wash
ington, to which place she was ticketed.
And so the mother and child sat together
the child in the woman's lap and
nit Washington the woman asked if she
might continue to Muscatine, and the
conductor gave permission; but before
that city was reached the woman was
in an agony of fear. At Muscatine
there was a scene as stirring and melt
ing a one as ever was presented on a
stage. As the train stopped a young
man and woman entered the coach, the
former going directly to the child, seiz
ing her, and rudely taking her from the
woman in whose lap she had been rid
ing scowling at the woman as if he
would like to crush her to the floor.
Then the child's mother fairly shrieked
in her sobs: "Please, oh please, let me
kiss her once more!" The answer was
brutal in its roughness: "G d d n
you, you shall never kias the child
again!" The passengers grouped
around very much excited, and the con
ductor interfered "I say she shall kiss
the girl if she wants to; it's her own
child, and she may do it," and he put
his hand towards" the girl to hand her
to the mother. Instantly the man put
his hand to his hip pocket, and told the
conductor to mind his business or he
would put daylight through him and
the conductor grasped him, saying,
"You take your hand out of that pock
et or I'll brain you I say this mother
shall kiss her child." And he held the
man until the mother and child had
taken a long embrace and when the
child left her it was crying as if its
heart would break, and its mother was
in a swoon in a scat. And there wasn't
a dry eye in the car.
It appears that the parents of the
child had separated and now were
meeting over their child for the first
time in years; that the mother had
gone into forbidden paths, or was
charged with doing so, and that the
father had been granted a divorce with
the custody of the child, which had now
been-sent to him bv his relatives.
A Cold Bath in Winter.
The season of the year when many
people who have experienced pleasure
and advantage from a daily cold bath
have to discontinue the practice, is
cniiio Montlvs. will clnpso before the
return of genial weather will allow of
their indulgence in what may be termed
mau's' natural stimulant. Amongst the
young and robust there are a large
number who are able to bathe even in
the depths of winter: the advantage of
so doing is, however, questionable.
But let it be once well understood what
a cold bath really is. and the course by
which they can avoid Seylla and
Charybdis will be obvious.
A cold bath is not necessarily a bath
in water of the temperature of the at
mosphere. A bath is truly and really
cold when it produces certain physiolog
ical effects -a slight momentary shock
followed by pleasant and lasting reac
tion. The effects are for a majority of
people most pleasantly obtained bv
bathing in water about 35 to 40 degrees
below the temperature of the body the
usual temperature of unhcated water
in June or July. Bearing this in mind,
people can enioy their physiological
"cold" bath as safely and pleasantly at
Christmas as at midsummer, and there
is no necessity for the most timid or
weakly to discontinue his morning bath
oecause the summer weather is over.
When the water sinks below a tempera
ture of 60 degrees, let it be heated to
that point, and then used, and there
will still be a "cold" bath, though of
heated water.
The daily stimulant effect of such a
bath is so beneficial to the great major
ity of persons, and is of such marked
service in maintaining health, that it is
important to have it widely known that
a cold bath may be taken all the year
round, provided cold is not mistaken to
mean "at the temperature of the air."
To heat the bath during the winter
months is too often thought to be un
manly, while in reality it is truly scien
tific, and to bathe in unhcated water all
the year round, whatever the tempera
ture of that water may be, is to prove
one's self an ignorant slave of outward
circumstances.
Bob Burdettc on the Election.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.
I am glad that I live in this country.
I am glad that this is a white man's
government, where an honest negro and
decent Chinaman are mere respectable
than a Caucasian liar and forger, I am
glad the people of the United States cau
not be hoodwinked with a uniform coat
that measures sixty-nine inches round
the waist. I am glad that we know
Wade Hampton's address. I am glad
that the "man who nominated Hancock"
felt proud of it while he had the oppor
tunity I am glad we beat, and I
haven't a bit of compassion for the fall
en foe. I am glad he is fallen. I wish
he had fallen narder. I hope we will
throw him harder next time. I will be
glad to sit. on him for the next twenty
years. I am glad we swept a path clear
across the country with him.
Now that it is all over, and we look
back at the campaign, what a colossal
figure Grant has been through it all. 1
am not the original Grant man. Al
ways an honest admirer of Grant's, for
I felt and learned in the long Jackson
and Vicksburg cainmpaigns the intense
devotion to him which Inspired every
man who ever served under him, and
the feeling never left me and it never
grew weak: or faint. But I didn't think
it was wise or right that he should be
called back to Washington for a third
term, and I was not a Grant man in
that sense last spring. I was a Blaine
man.
Now look back five or six weeks, and
see what one man towers above all oth
ers in this fight. Never seemed the man
Grant so great before. His simple, un
questioning, unselfish patriotism, the
crandeur with which he rose superior to
every personal question, and unified the
sentiment, and closed up the ranks of
the republican party by the magnetism
of his presence, the straightforward,
common sense of his short speeches, and
the splendid patriotism of hi3 example,
commanded and won the admiration,
the confidence, the good will of the repub
lican party to a more universal degree
than he ever before possessed it. The
first soldier of our time, the peerless
captain who never knew defeat, yet the
citizen Grant is greater even than the
general, and the people see it and feel it
to.be so. There is in all our land, I
think, no man who stands so high, and
withal so modest, so unambitious for
himself I do not believe he is touched
with any personal ambition so unself
ishly devoted to his country.
IX CONCLUSION.
I have "hollered" until I am tpo
hoarse to write. Didn't you hear some
body "hollering" about ten o'clock hist
night? That was me. I was right in
the middle of a crowd of twenty million
men, and Dr. Johnson was holding me
upon his "shoulder to see the procession.
A wagon loaded with fireworks caught
fire while passing in front of the Union
League, and if you ever saw wild fire
wcrks that was'it. Nobody minded it.
The crowd stood just around the wagon
and kept on yelling, ant the roman can
dles and things went off as far as they
could get for the crowd. I saw one man
thrust so full of rocket sticks that he
looked like a wooden porcupine. He
didn't know it. When they told him of
it he said he thought he smelt some
thing like a lumber pile, but didn't
have time to stop yelling long enough
to see what it was
The Paintings in the Rotunda at Wash
ington. December Atlantic
Mr. Robert Wier's picture represent
ing the embarkation of the pilgrims
from Holland was completed and placed
in the rotunda of the capitol during the
administration of President Polk. Orig
inally driven from their English homes
by religious persecution, they have em
barked for the new world, seeking
"freedom to worship God." The three
most prominent figures on the deck of
the Speedwell, waiting on a dark au
tumnal day for the turn of the tide to
put out to sea, are Governor Carver,
Elder Brewster, and Pastor Robinson;
each one dressed in a Geneva suit of
black, and each one having a bald head,
ji gray beard, and a pale face, as if the
three were painted from the same mod
el. Then there is Miles Standish, who
was, history informs us, a small man,
but who is represented in the picture as
a stalwart warrior, with tawny hair anil
scarlet hose, wearing his cuirass and
carrying his sword, although there were
no foes in that vicinity. A woman
equally gigantic in size wears a fanciful
green "dress, while Dame White has a
gown of striped satin ,and Mistress Wins
low stands on the verge of the ocean
dressed like one of Rubens's portraits of
his mistresses. In the background are
other men and women gayly attired,
like the supernumeraries in a melodra
ma, and the picture fails to give an idea
of the sincere yet bigoted exiles for con
science' sake. The artist sacrificed his
torical truth that he might produce a
picture full of strong effects. He receiv
ed 810,000 for his work.
Mr. John Vanderlyn, who was com
missioned to fill another of the then va
cant panels cf the rotunda, went imme
diately to Paris, where he spent several
installments of his remuneration before
he commenced his Landing of Colum
bus. He then employed a French artis.t.
and hired the costumes worn in the
opera of Ernani, so that the picture was
finished "by the job." Indeed, it might
be called "raising the wind," as any
one will say who sees it, or the engrav
ing of it which ornaments the reverse of
the live-dollar notes now issued; for the
three flags borne by three of the origi
nal group of filibusters are blown out
ward in three different directions. Those
familiar with the real ability which char
acterized Vanderlyn' s earlier works wen
sadly disappointed with his Landing of
Columbus.
A third panel was filled with a picture
so called--of the Baptism of Poeaho'n-
I tas, by Mr. John G. Chapman. In ca
I tering to the pride of thoe who claimed
to be descended from the hrst famine-!
of Virginia, Mr. Chapman had difficul
ties to contend with, probably more de
pressing than even the failing of inspir
ation winch must attend the portrayal
of an apocryphal ceremonial. The Bap
tism of Pocahontas is not only a libel on
our respect, as a people, for historical
truth, but its sole effect upon lovers of
art is to excite ridicule.
Mr. Henry Inman, an artist of some
reputation, received a commission to fill
the fourth vacant panel, and went to
Europe, where he was said to have made
studies for his picture, and he hail re
ceived three annual installments of
$2000 each when he died. Mr. S. F. B.
Morse, an impecunious artist, who after
ward became enriched by his connec
tion with electric telegraphs, offered
either to complete the work of Mr. In
man, or to paint a new picture, for the
remaining 54000; but the oiler was not
accepted. In 1847, congress, on the ur
gent solicitation of General Shenck, au
thorized the payment of this $4000,
with .G000 more, to Mr. W. H. Powell,
for a picture of De Sota discovering the
Mississippi; and when the work was com
pleted he received a further appropria
tion of $2000. De Sota, who had been
for months journeying through the wil
derness from Florida, appears in gor
geous attire, and recalls the well-known
figure of Henry IV. entering Paris. In
the foreground a group urging forward
a cannon reminds one of a imilar artil
lery movement in the siege of Sarigos
sa, while some voluptuously formed
maidens (surely not Indians)" are very
like the damsels who figure in Horace
Vernet's capture of the Smala, at Ver
sailles. The whole picture, in short, is
a plagarized patchwork of generali
ties, absurd and incongruous, badly
drawn, gaudily colored, and as destitute
of historic value as an act of congress is
of poetic feeling.
A group of statuary, by Luigi Persico,
(a prolcge of Mr. Buchanan), placed on
one of the two blockings on the sides of
the steps leading up tothe eastern p n
tico of the capitol, excited much atten
tion. The original commission gave
$12,000 for the group, but as much
more was subsequently voted. The sub
ject chosen by the artist was Columbus
explaining the mysteries of the globe to
a naked and crouching Indian woman.
A very cleer letter was written by
Colonel Seaton, and published in his
Xutionol Intelligencer, purporting to have
come from this nude savage maiden,
who thus protested against her forced
appearance before the public in an im
modest attitude and without apparel.
The commission for the companion
group of statues was given to Horatio
Greenough, who called his work The
Rescue. It has been described as a gi
gantic Scotchman endeavoring to break
the back of a big Indian, while a woman
holds a child, and a large dog looks
peacefully on.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
An American Tourist" Visit to the
Arabian Arcadia.
Clia'. II. AnlUon In Chicago All ance.
A couple of hours' ride over a most
wretched bridle path, up and down
rugged mountain passes, brought us to
tins charming oasis called Ehden."
The Arabs assured us this spot was the
real garden of Eden, and judging from
the intense curiosity they evinced con
cerning ourselves and our traps, we had
no difficulty in believing this to be the
garden where our first mother Eve
dwelt ere she grew too fond of apples.
This Eden is situated in a pretty lit
tle valley in the heart of the mountains,
at an elevation some oOO feet above the
level of the sea. Water is abundant
here and consequently everything is
green, and fruit is plenty. The valley
is full of vineyards, withpomegranates
and fig trees, and olive and mulberry
plantations, and overtopping the whole
can be seen some immense walnut trecs
that look as old s the world.
As I am writing these lines, sitting on
a canip-stool in front of my tent, lean
see the whole population of Ehden col
lected around our camp staring at us.
Young and old, men, women and chil
dren, are pressing forward to have a
good look at us; ond some of these
wild children of Eve have climbed up
the trees to have the luxury of a bird's
eye view of our camp. Long before wc
reached our camping ground the news
had been brought that a caravan of
people from beyond the mountains, and
perhaps, oh wonder! from beyond the
sea, was coming to camp in their oasis.
The news spread like wildfire among
the tribe, anil there was a general rush
for the best places to see us come in
and get off our horses. The women
left off their work in the fields, the men
left off playing on the reed-pipes, and
the children left off crying to see us
coming. Barnum's circus arriving in a
village "out west" never created such a
sensation as we did dn approaching this
earthly paradise. As we filed past
through this aisle of human beings, we
were greeted with shouts and mock
salutations. The women giggled, tne
men smile-1, the children roared at the
queer figure we cut in our European
costumes. Two ladies with us were
made the objects of a very popular
ovation.
The green goggles which some o my
companions wore seemed to raise the
enthusiasm to the highest pitch, and
many a swarthy linger was raised Lom
among those Arabs, pointing to these
green goggles, while the women called
to each other and raised their children
in their arms to make them enjoy the
treat. Meantime my friends, quite un
conscious' of their great popularity, did
not know what to make of all the
crowd. But as we drew near the tents
and I helped Mrs. E. off her horse, the
crowd pressed so much on us that Halil
and his men were obliged to drive them
off, and to have ropes stretched around
our camp to keep the intruders out.
Here with plenty of elbow room I en
joy the scene, which, indeed, is very
picturesque. When the excitement had
somewhat subsided, I strolled out to en
joy the gorgeous sunset. The western
sky was all aglow with luminous tints
of orange, pink and purple. This glory
lasted but a minute, and all was hushed
in the gray tints of evening.
Later in the evening some young men
and young women were admitted in our
dining room tent. These Arab women
were dying with curiosity to see and
handle the clothes of our lady friends.
Velvet seemed to attract their attention
and admiration more than anything
else, save perhaps our watches and
gloves. The gloves, especially, seemed
to puzzle them. The countess took out
her repeater and made it strike for
them. I hey seemed delighted, just as
little children would be, with the sound
of the tiny bell. Some of these pretty
Arab girls asked me, through our drag
oinan, if all the ladies in our country
were like the two that were with us. I
told Ilalil to ask thee girls what made
them a-k that question. They answer
ed with a giggle and a shv look from
their roguish eyes, "If they are till so
large it must be a very hard work for
the poor horse to carry them."
Children's Labor In Massachusetts
Factories.
Emm E. Hiowb. In Dtfetiiher Atlantic.
A truant officer who visited some
thirty factories in and about Boston re
ports that he found in every one of them
children kept at work in open violation
of the law. Systematic inve-tigation
has shown that of tiie 13,000 cnildren
employed in various factories through
out the state in 1878 only 457) received
the legal amount of schooling; and that
among the 282,480 children in Massa
chusetts between the ages of five and
fifteen there are no less than 25,000 chil
dren who have never been present in
either our public or private schools.
An overseer in one of the print works
in the statb says: "There seems to be a
growing disposition on the part of par
ents to put their children to work before
they are of the legal age, and to avoid
sending them to school the length of
time required by law. Scarcely a day
passes but mothers come to the mills
anil beg us to use our influence in pro
curing employment for their children."
My friend left the office in a broxvn
study. "Can it be a normal state of
things," she said to a certain political
economist, "when children of eleven
years are reckoned among the bread
winners of a state?"
"Something must be wrong," he an
swered, "when an organic law of pro
duction is violated, as is the case in
Massachusetts, where children between
the ages of ten and fifteen constitute
forty-four per cent of tiie whole number
of working people, and yet produce but
twenty-four per cent of the income!"
"But is it not possible for a strong,
able-bodied man, if he is temperate and
provident, to earn enough to support
his family and keep his children in
school till they are fifteen?"
"It certainly ought to be, but with
the present relation of wages to cost of
living in Massachusetts it seems that a
laboring man with a family cannot keep
out of debt with a yearly income of less
than $G00. Nowthe fact is that the
majority of working men earn consider
able less than $600 a year. I know of
one Irish family where both the father
and eldest son, a child about twelve,
work in the mills. Their combined
earnings amount to $5G4, an income
which falls, you notice, below the mini
mum sum. The family number six, and
one of the four children the parents have
kept in school. They dress shabbily,
occupy a tenement of four rooms in one
of the most unhealthy localities in the
city, and are in a wretched condition
generally. Knowing that the family
were constantly running in debt, I in
quired into their items of expense, and
found the yearly amount to be as fol
lows:
XCnt . .! vi UU
r i. u i . 'jaj
Mi'k ,,ri S
Boots and hoes 14.70
Oothimr 2o.S0
Dry sohL; 2S.00
This total of $589 is a larger expendi
ture than is warranted by tlie income of
$564. Subtract from this income the
child's wages, which amount to $132,
and you find the father's income to be
only $432. What would be the finan
cial condition of this family without the
child's labor? I cannot tell how provi
dent they are, but it is difficult to see
where their expenses could be lessened,
when, according to the statistics of la
bor the yearly average expenditure for '
the food of a family is reckone 1 ae$422,-

There are many definitions oi a gpodl
stable. A very warm one, a very airy
one, one uniform in its teniperaturc,one
free from every oilor, another saturated
with the smell of manure, a stable bat
toned and banked up, another clear up
from the ground and wide cracks in the
floor, one with bedding, another with a
hard plank floor. But our ideal stable
is one with ".some of the comforts," and
while we would have the air come in, we
would have it come in otherwise than
through cracks, and the ventilation so
regulated that something like an evon
temperature can be maintained for if
milk is the object sought, the cow must
be kept reasonably warm and well fed.
There is an active dispute going on
about the care that should be lxwtowed
upon the heifer before she takes herplace
in the dairy, whether or not she should
be fed so that the fattening tendency
shall be paramount, and every effort
made to foster her growth, the idea be
ing that the development will be equal
o all the demands; or that she must
rough it, and be kept merely in a good
growing condition, and that the fatten
ing tendency should be cheeked, that the
milking qualities, which are the oppo
site, may develop. Be this as it may, it
is no argument why the growing heifur
shall not have a warm stable and ample
dry bedding to protect her from the .se
verity of the winter, even if it is decided
to scrimp her food to keep her from put
ting on beef.
In a former article "In a Stable"
we indicated something in relation to the
construction of it, ahd beyond a dry,
comfortable stable, airy, light and warm,
the question is one largely of food ami
care. Of course a cow can be "starved"
with rather more comfort to herself in a
warm stable, than under the protecting
lee of a rail fence; but if the cow is to
be milked, or if she is expected to thrive,
she must be fed upon a somewhat diver
sified diet, and one that should have a
little meal sprinkled upon it, to give her
courage. It is now conceded that roots
of some kind cause a much healthier
condition among the cattle than simply
hay and meal; certain it is that they
stand the change from hay to grass bat
ter, and though but a small quantity is
given, those who eat the beets aud man
golds are easily distinguishable by their
thrift. There is another subject "that is
overlooked too often,an! 'hatis, the win
ter watering of cattle. To water a cow
that has stood twenty-four hous in a
warm stable, at a pond covered with ice,
and let her gorge herself with ice water,
stand in a snowbank after.vanls while
nature warms it. is a demand upon the
system wholly unnatural and of a dan
gerous tendency. With the modern ap
pliances of suppling the farm yard
with water, enablingco.vs to drink when
their inclination leads them, rather than
when the fanner and his dg drive them
across a wind-swept lot to a distant
pond, is a great advance in the better
wintering of cows, and one that has ful
ly as important bearing upon the suc
cessful wintering of cattle ami stock
generally, as any that can be brought
forward. Saji.
