Poor Ililliard made bat on- attempt to disturb our peace. j v::c coriuii, juoi. ct X 1. 1. i uiua, iu uniu Barton a.ld I were smo&fng in the ve randa!), a gentleman rode up. "Ilelloa!' Urtcle Barton called out. "lleiloa!" returned the stranger; "does Mv. White live here?" "B ut White does." was the answer; "is he the chap?'' "Is MiS3 Harmon staying" here?" "Is your rtame Hillhud?" queried T3y uncle. The stranger hesitated", and5 then an swered in the affirmative. "Well, my orders arc' Ant to let you in. I never turned a visitor away in my lite, and i wont begin now;- so" if you'll come ill you're welcome; but you can't Eee "Sura." "Goid -night, then," said Ililliard, and departed. "Why didn't you tell me who it was?'' said Uncle Barton. "How coYdd I? I never saw him be fate; and, besides, k is dark." "He's a clever-spoken fellov. But he'd ought to 2e niore'u that to come af ter Xora. Seems to me she's rather sweet on you, ain't she? It wouldn't be j a bad spec for you, young man." I reclaimed instantly that t coui'd1' never be influenced by sach a motive;' j !Ht Miss Il.trmon was a nice gkl. j "Miss Harmon;" repeated Uncle Bart, ! with the. most profound contempt; I -'why can't you call people by their hriateiii-d names? I always do? Hcl ioa!" as two lignres came stumbling round the coiner of the house, talking loudly and angrily. "1 Vie and Juke, drunk as fools. Wh:it do yon want?" "Want ohr rights," sLimmTed ona. "Well, you won't ce 'em her?". 1 ! ain't a hangman,-' answered Uncle Barton. "We ain't agoni'io work Tor no twen ty doM.H-3 a month in hayiu'. M uVin'J daikcys gits two dollars a day." "Jusl turn iu atyJ go to sleep, and He'll-talk it over ill the morning',' said rnyt.'T.cIe. But this pacific suggestich was a failure. The men were deter mined; so was Uncle Barton; and tlie next morning he found himself with j only one m.iu and four Luge Colds re;v- j dy for mowing. How-cVer, he was j equal to tlie emergency, Lavlr had j iong experience. He rose early, drove j off somewhere, and befon before te i o'clock 1 had secuml two men, and put them to j work. I volunteered my assistance, i hut it w.i3 rejectee!-; so Nora and I drove off to spend the day with some friends, We did- sot return uctiT evening; and j trzitrtfih Irsd-Yir' syevk - ing in the most unintelligible sounds tongue ever uttered. We stood a mo ment In the doorway and looked in. There sat Uncle Barton and one of the new men in the middle of the room, while the rest of the family weie seated around, looking ou iu open-inoutbed wonder. - "Come, Kenneth," said Uncle Barton. "You ate a scholar, see if you cant talk to r'hilip. I'm trying to find out who he is. He can't understand me when I speak Dutch, and he dontknow the fiiTt word of English." I sat down by "Philip" and tried my lingual powers, but he evidently did not Hinderstand. As soon as I stopped talking lie took up a slate which lny upon the table and began to tell us a long story in some unknown tongue. He seemed pleased, and kept on talking for a long time, Utterly oblivious trf the fact that we knew no more of his lan gliage than he of ours. On Sunday afternoon Uncle Barton came into the sitting-room, and told us (hat Philip was hard at work in the kitchen, writing a letter and talking about Garibaldi. The children rtlsbed out to see, and presently came back, saying the letter was finished, and he wanted an eyrvelope. This rendering it practicable for ine too' see what was g"oing Cn without lowering my dignity by any exhibition of curiosity about such a person, I got one and took it out , to him. He was as good-natured as ever; indeed, his face was on a broad grin mo'st of the time; and as I handed him the envelope I glanced acciden tally of course at the writing. It was iu German j but I could distinguish the words "soldat" and "Garibaldi" in large letters in many places. ' He pro duced a piece of red sealing-wax, rind after carefully folding the letter and putting it in the ehvtlct, secured it with nine large seals; after which he proceeded to direct to His Majesty Vic tor Emanuel, Mexico, in America. Then Ire handed it to me, saying "post?1' I nodded my head, and went back to I he sitting-room. "Uncle Barton," said I, "kyk here! That man is crazy." "Stuff;" said in uncle. "lie's a tip top fellow to work. Wha "makes you think that?" I handed hiin the letter. "I suppose he's been a soldiermd wants a pension or something,"" sajd he. "If he had been in Garibaldi's army he'd kn".vJLietler than to direct to Vic tor. Emanuel ju America," I suggested; uflhis argument was' totally without effect, ily uncle brought forward a tuuc! better one. "1 think there's scri?thing queer about him, myself," he said. "He's got books in his room; two or three of them. And he washes his hands ajd face every morning, and thatr's what none of 'em ever do." 'Yes, tvnd he talks and laughs to Mirf self," said cousin Mary. "List night, wkn 1 went to look for Nora, I heacT stiintioTXi ktug-hiRg, and I I locked in the barn door, and there he '; was all alone." n "I'm afraid of him," said Aunt Kate. Suppose he should come down stairs ; some night and murdtr us all?' "Lock the door of the stairway," tid Umle Barton. "T fvin't Tlio lvt-'fi lirrvl-on TV . . ' " . "By Jimittyl" was tne answer. "He's no twre crazy'n I am. I ain't afraid of him or a dozen like him."' - "But I am," said Mary. "And I," said Aunt Kate and the children together. "Then lock your doors. Don't talk like a set of gt ese," and uncle Barton walked off in disgust. When we went to our rooms I noticed that eve?y doer v as shut and locked, idthough we generally left therar c2r a little way, in the hot Weather, f ct the sake of the air. But my door had no lock; so', discretion being out of the question, I tried the worse part of valor, and left tlie door ajar as usual. Then I went to sleep and dreamed of the Deering murder and of Phil'p.- Aftei a while 1 woke up with a confused sense of footsteps and voices somewhere near me. I thought I heard a door opi?alid shut;- and, hiking towards my door, I saw a faint ligl.t hieh gradually grew brighter and En ich.er. Tt slashed across nie it, an inst int. Sorwbody Philip, and perhaps a companion, was coming down the garret stairs with a light. And alV the door3 were locked, and everybody was ; s eep. I rose, and went cautiously town.rd the light; 1 put out my hand to eht-ia-' hold of the door, and tcnehed the window. The foot steps and voices were part of my dreamy iie light was only the rnoon coming' gradually out from behind the clouds. I silently resolved trpa-y no more at tention to tlie voices of the night," come what! might; and was soon s'ei-;"-ing so soundly that I did not awake until the breakfast bell rang, and Char li rushed into my room with the fof lowing announcement: "Nora's gone, and Philip's gone, and he isnt Philip, but Mr. Ililliard, an they're ni;wiedl" So my dream was not all a dream after all. Bui I bore it. Strangely enough, my first thought3 were cot of the lost seventy-five thousand; nor of poor r.ora's sad fate; wedded to the man sne loved; nor of the wrath ot my father and the iidicule of my friends. 1 thought of cousin Cecily's sweet, sober fce, wor-lertd what she wciM say. - A Pennsylvania butter rnaksr tent' Lis salt Ly dissolving a little in a rrlasji tumbler; if the brine formed is clefi? and free from bi-Xer tiiife, lie pronoun- ces the s;dt good; if, on the other hand, itpiesents a milky appearance, leaves any sediment or throws scum to the arface, he rejects iti- State Items.

YYOKDS OF SENSE NehraskaJ'rcss Association Work" Aside f ronp-4 he election of officer and other prtdwtrMiiuty work dcuo by the Press Association, which "net at TTincohy, January "Ttith, several topics' of m tense interest to newspaper pul-' Jishers in tip; State were discussed atid referred to appropriate, coiuiuittess for further action. The fn.t topic taken, up was that of "foreign sulvertising." The discussion of this topic developed the fact that every publisher present had either been.the victim of thes irfirp practice of foreign advertis'rrg" agents, or' had escaped only by Fating nothing whatever to do with tlleui. The ques tion was. How shall thiskindof adver-' Using be regulated? It wits concluded that it eotrld not be effectually controll ed so long as so many 'snide' newspa pers were constantly eag?r to take any and every kind of advertising sent, te them through the mail on any kind of promise mi the part of the sender.' Cheap John agents are as well satisfied with cheap John newspapers as with respectable newspapers of g'-i. eircu-laton.- The 'snides' answer their pur ncres as well as any. Even the more' responsible agents use this class of; newspapers in order to make largo' profits. How to choke olf th snides at both ends is the problem. Oi. met h od pioposed, and now in profess ot un folding, is to have the auxiliary sheets'' used in the state published within the State. Propositions to furnish these" sheets were received from the Lincoln Journal Company and Mr. Harry (Sib son, of tlie Herald job rooms, Omaha.' Mr. iibon offered to furnish them at thirty certs pt'r qu?re. rVS?:',.ed four hundred quires were taken per weeK. Neither gentleman asked for reserved 'space for advertising. This arrange ment would, of course, shut out those advertisers from the State who do their advertising through Kellogg and oth ers who furnish patent sheets to No-' braska publishers. This arrangement in conjunction with a fixed purpose on tlie part of every publisher to' take M0r foreign advertising without pre-pay-'' ment would convert the worse than worthless patronage of foreign adver tising agents (with few exceptions) iu-'' to desirable lui'.'r.C.-s. The first step' toward corn cling the' evils growing oi-'t of thi present system' of foreign advertising taken by the association is' indicated in the" foir.iwiirg" resolution: Ri:-.olf it. That the committee on State co-operative printing bo continu ed with instructions to eorrestioiid with the different publishers in the' State and make such arrangements as it may deem best to carry -the object to be attained into full effect, and le-'-port to the executive comirritiee. It was hoped by tlie association that every publisher in this State would re apond fa rurally 011 the subject so vi tal to" the interests of the newspaper, business. Two things will wholly fix it. viz: (1) Use no patent sheets con taining advertisements; (2) take no' foreign advertising unless prepaid.' Publishers can do this if they wll.' The other topics and resolutions touch-" ing them will be gi7en r?rt; week.- A great many newspaper men lie"' awake night after night, mentally do bating whether they shall have their property to some charitable institution; or upcnl it the next day for something with a little lemon squeezed in.
