RED CLOUD. NEBRASKA THURSDAY,
FrieaJsklp.
Tne point that we wish to make i,
that we should not expect to have the
sentiment and actions of our friends
and companions always equally satisfac
tory to us ; and after we have once made
up cur minds that, on the whole, we
like a certain person; that we like cer
tain or all of his way6, opinions, taste?,
qualities whatever it u that drawi us
to him, it hi rather foolish to be rejudg
ing him too severely every -five days on
a new issue. After a Ban is once a mem
ber of the National Academy he should
not be subject to the annual weighing
in the balance of the Academy's Hang
ing Committee.
You may say thut, after we have
known a man for thirty years and that
is a long lease for a friendship in this
mutable world it is idle to talk about
its being possible for him to surprise or
disappoint ue. But did you ever hear of
"the old man's disease" avarice? Do
you suppose that an afflictioa like that
comes to tbe surface late in life, if the
seeds have not been deep in the soil all
the time? But tbat is 8 hard and cruel
question. Let us rather speak of a more
pleasing and no less surprising develop
ment. There was an old woman about
whom we once wrote, to prove by an
example that it is the disagreeable
young folk who make the disagreeable
old men and women, and that sweet
girls and boys need not be troubled by
the nighimare of a sour and crabbed
old age. The woman we wrote about
had lived out and down three husbands,
and was about as unpleicant an old gos
sip as you might meet in a day's jour
ney ; ywt the trials of her aje were the
only traits of her youth, ftripped of
whatever charm youth rout have lent
her. But presently, after we had held
up thl-j aged person as a warning and a
consolation, what does she do but full
into her second childhood, and develop
one of the sweetest and gentlest disjmi
tionn with which mortal ever blessed nis
or her neighbor. All she asked was her
doll and her prayer-book, and all went
as merry as a marriage bell. No; we
neyer know our friends. And, curious
ly ennuu, while we are going on with
our di jvftries concerning Umb, tSey
are making the same observations upon
us, and are having the same surprises
and disappointments. Tht old Cabinet;

Chlldren'ri Winter Clothing.
It It a favorite maxim with city moth
ers that children are warmer blooded,
and need less clothing, than adults.
Especially is this held true of babies
and girls. Boys are warmly protected
by cloth leggings, kilt Euitd, and stout
shoes, while their little sisters defy the
winter wind "in bare knees and embroid
ered skirts. There ia a poetic fancy,
too, that girls should ue kept in white
up to a certain age. A dozen little girlf,
of from three to five, were assembled
the other day, and the univeisal dress
was En under vest and drawers of me
rino, a single embroidered flsnuel petti
coat, and an Incumbent ffc&y mass of
muslm, ribbons, and lace.' Meanwhile,
their mothers, women of culture and
ordinary intelligence, were wrapped in
heavy woolens, silks, and f ur. In con
sequence of thin under dressing, the
children are kept housed, ixcept on
warm days, or when they are driven out
In close carriages, and therefore ahanw
cold wind brines to these terfder hof-
house flowers, instead of health, disease
and death. It is absolute lollv to trv to
.
make a child hardy by cruel exposure, or
to protect it from croup or pneumenia
by a string of amber beads, or by shut
ting it up in furnace heated houses.
Lay away its muslin frills until June;
put woolen stockings on its legs, flan
nel (not half coiton woven vests) on its
body, and velvet, silk, merino, what
ever you choose, or can afford, on top
of that; tie on a s&ug little hood, nd
turn the baby out every winter's day
(unless th wind be from the northeast
and tbe air foggy), and before spring its
bright eyes and rosy cheeks will give it
a different beauty from any pure robes
of white. Home and Society; Scribntr

Stewed Rabbit. Joint the rabbit as
for a pie. Soak it well; fry of a good
brown. Slice two large onions, pour
boiling water on them to remove the
strong flavor fry them. Cut half a
dozen slices of fat bacon; put the ba
con, rabbit, and onions into a brown
earthen jar; season with pepper and salt.
Cook in a moderate oven for two hours.
When done, pour away the gravy, skim
it well, add a tablespooaful of walaut
catsup, and thicken with r, bit of butter
rolled in flour, Place the rabbit joints
neatly on your dish. Do sot serve
the bacoa with it, but garnish with seat
rolls of boiled bacoa aad aiofppct
bread. Pour over the hot gravy and
serve. This is aa excellent manner of
cooking a rabbit.

furniture in which all his school exer

not having to do them again." H.'a daily
labor is eomthing extraordinary for one
of his age. Klsineat daybreak, he tets
apart all the morning fw study. His
professors are English residing in Lon

to Oxford, but it was preferred that he
should study at Chieelhurst the higher
branches of education. After lunch the
Prince rides out; he has three saddle

How to Hang Pictiin-.s
No jiictuie ought to be huug higher
than the height of the average human
eye wheu the owner of eye is standing.
It is the almost univeral rule in our
honssL& to hang pictured- much above
this level, and they cannot -lie enjoyed
there. If the picture it a portrait, or if
it have human faces in it, it? eyes should
look a, nearly into ours as po?;il!e; and
if there be no such simple guide, per
haps a good rule will In- to hive the line
tbat divides the picture horizontally into
equal parte level with the eye. If one
starts in hanging pictures with the de
termination to place them 'that they
can be easily seen ami enjoyed without
stretching the neck the least, or stooping
the body, he will be pretty fcure to do
well. In remote farm bouses and country
taverns we often .ee pictures, particu
larly portraits, skyed as high as if their
owners had been Academy Hangers, and
the painters young rival of a new
school. I suppose the ren-on it that
the simple hearted owners think a pic
ture such - precious thing, it csn't be
hung too curely out of the reach of
meddling hands. They are often n")t
clear in their tainds to what a picture
i- nieunt l'r, and not finding in :t any
practical relation in human life and
society, they treat it ith reverence aud
put it where it will diaturo them ao little

A lady about fifty years of age, the
wife of a well-known Xew York mer-
chant, wsb invited by a distinguished j
physician to call a: "hia office at 11 '
o'clock on a given day. She went '
, downt foan the doctor with her
;b . was the physician of the
i famllr. il had informed her that he i
i
familv. lie had informed her that he
bad a disagreeable duty to discharge.
It was that her husband was entirely
her no more. Ho would provide for
her, give her a coralortable home and
maintenance, and with that she must
be content. The blow felled her to the
floor. She was taken home a maniac,
and weeks passed before she recovered
her reason. Her home was broken up,
and she moved into the new quarters
provided for her. It wsa evident that
the husband had formed an attachment
to another woman. He bought the
bouse that he proposed to give her, and
lurnished it elegantly from saloon to
attic. He promised to give her a bill
of sale of all the personal eflects ia the
mansion. The man lavished on this
woman heavy sums of money. Ho
bought her the best silks and satins,
sable furs, and sacks, and footed ail
the bills she ran up at Stewart's. She
passed as a rich widow from Virginia,
received letters from pretended rela
tives about a fortune she was coming
into by and by, and with these papers
secured large sums of money. The
merchant drexr heavily on hU linn, and
was threatened with bankruptcy.
Getting an inkling of what wa- going
on, the wife consulted a detective. He
advised her to commence a suit against
her husband, which she refused to do.
"I don't want money." she i-aid. I
want my husband. If he could know
what I know, the churni woul.l be
broken, and he would return to his
home a penitent man "' Th: detective
visited the house, and h id an interview
with the woman and tt-eutd one ol
the best rooms for a lujget. That
lodger was the detective's oy. j ns.n,
who was to gather up lie little facts
that would aprxisr in the muiageintnt
of the concern.
He viflited the meruit int in his store,
and made an appointment to ride out
with him the next day about five miles,
to look at a line coupe horse; which he
was desirous of purchasing for his fe
male companion. Instead of finding
he horse, he was brought face to face
with his wife, whom he had not seen
for months. The interview could not
be averted. The black record of the
woman's character and crime was laid
before him. He saw how his money
went, and what sort of an establish
ment he was supporting, and how he
wks tbe laughing stock of his asso
ciates. His infatuation ended, and he
resolved to return to town, denounce
the woman and forsake her. He pro
posed to get back the property that the
woman claimed aj her own. A little
scheme was laid that turned out to be
an eminent success. The woinar '
wanted a few hundred dollars for her
sister, to be paid through her 6ister's
husband. She wanted a st of dia
monds for Christmas and a coupe for
lady's day at New Year's. A note was
dispatched, under direction of the de
tective, asking her to meet her friend
at a well known trjsting-place the next
day at 11, to decide upon these little
gifts desired. She was to remain from
11 to 1, in case business should detain
the merchant. Promptly on time she
left ia her coach, and had hardly tu ned
the corner before wagons drove up, and
in an hour the house was stripped from
the basement to the upper story. Pic
tures, vases," statuary, d amass: cm tains,
silver, wines, all disappeared. At
o'clock the woman of the mansion
drpve up. The colored woman wrunw
her hands in despair, the shield of thr
detective having kept her quiet. He
ordered the woman off the steps and
turned the key. saying, as he walked
away: "Don't annoy that man; don't
go near his store; writs him no notes.
If you do, I will arrest you for your
past crimes and send you to tbe bland."
The merchant and his wife are now liv
ing cosily in their old homestea-f. Dot

to this fact that many are so dazzled by
the brilliant achievement of credit as
to foiget that it is the shadow of capital,

J,2t it be constantly borne in mind that

they are fictitious aud fraudulent. If

corresponding .to the description given
ot Tnomn, sjuz'it nil obtained a
private interview with Senor Allaro,
agent at that time of the Cuban Repub

should be placed in the interior of lumps
of coal, bored for the purpose, and the
hole imperceptibly sealed with the coal
preparation. These coald be introduced
clandestinely into Havana, aad with
great precaution scattered in with the ,
coal supply of the navy, and in what
ever furnace the lump- chanced to fall,
the ship would b- inevitably destroyed,
with all oa board. The proposal was
referred to Senor Morale Lemc, die
General Diplomatic Agent, who rejected
it t nn a a scheme which would
result in the wholesale slaughter of In

ot other nationalities, as the coal is
kept in a large yard opposite the city.
