J-A 1 FARM MD HOUSEHOLD. Horn* Matters. Painted and stained floors are grow ing in jfcpularity. Japanese screens and panels are much used for decorative purposes. The finest plain white damask is com ing in fashion again for the table. A buttermilk bath for mildewed arti cles, afterwards placing them in the sun ia reconr mended. Old-fashioned rag-carpet is to be seen on the floors of some of the kitchens in some of our fashionable houses. Brass poles are used for stair-rods. They look effective over a handsome carpet, but are difficult to keep clean. Sweet Omelettes, which are only the plain omelette jelly or jam spread over it before it is rolled, should bo dusted with fine sugar at the moment of serv ing. HOME CAKE.—Rub well into a pound of flour half-pound of good beef drip ping add one-quarter pound of sugar and one-quarter pound of currants then one tablespoonful of brewers' yeast. Mix as bread, but do not knead let it rise till light, and bake in a quick oven. To make the ebony stain for furni ture or mantels, use tube oil, blue-black for staining unvarnished wood. The dull tint gives the surface required, and is very different from the shining and varnished effect of jet black paint. If the color sinks in very much, as it will on soft woods, repeat the process. The cheap palm-leaf fans are very much used for screens, being covered with drawn plush, satin, or cretonne to form a bag, finished off with small pompons round the edge at small intervals, and a large satin bow at the base of the handle. The}' are sometimes hung up against the wall by the side of the fire place, handle upward, and hold a half opened Japano.so fan fire-screen, or any little odds and ends. The Short Bows. A Vermont dairyman says a young calf should l3 fed throe times a day. Overfeeding at long intervals, and es pecially with cold food, kills a good many valuable calves. A writer in Ilygieno Pratique states that boots and shoes may be rendered waterproof by soaking them for some hours in thick soap water. The com pound forms a fatty acid within the leather, and makes it impervious to water. "Don't forget the dust bath for the poultry. This is made by nailing to gether four boards in the form of a square. No bottom is needed. Place in a sunny corner and fill with dry loam or road dust, with an extra barrel full to use when needed. There is nothing equal to a good dust bath to keep the hens free from lice. If they are very lousy a bushel of wood ay lies may be added to the bath. In windy localities, says J. J. Thom as, good screens of evergreens on the exposed sides of the cattle yards have the throe-fold advantage of orna mont, comfort to the cattle, and econ omy in feed and in saving flesh. This kind of protection from wintry winds, with its great saving and little cost, is so important that there appears to be 110 excuse for its ommission by any farmer. A correspondent says that young horses should never have shoes imposed i.pon them until it is well proved that they cannot do without them. He pre dicts that the day is not far off when some humane benefactor of his kind and horse-kind will produce a breed of horses having such firm, tough feet in addition to all other good qualities. The negroes of Sumter county, Ala., have a farmer's club in successful oper ation, with some very practical features worthy the consideration of white folks. If any member fails to attend properly to his team, or keep his fences in repair ho is fined from $1 to $10, and the money is collected out of the first pro ceeds of his crop. Membership in such a club would prove expensive to a good many white farmers. Window Boxes. Among the numerous plans for the co'm -ing summer made by the great army of flower lovers all over the broad land, I hope many have included one, two or more window boxes. It can be said in tlieir favcn* that they offer one of the easiest methods of gardening, and one of the prettiest forms of out-door decor ation and to the large class, who, through ill health or many cares, are debarred from the ordinary flower gar den, they are especially suitable. They give also rare chances for richness of tone and harmony of color, and an artist's work may be as plainly visible in a well-filled window box as in many more pretentious things. I was especially struck with this lat ter fact, one day, last summer, when before the windows of an old farm house I saw so beautiful a combination of form and color that I stopped and begged permission to examine closely. The brackets that held the window box es were fastened in place with large screws and could be easily removed, and the boxes made of unpainted pine nailed together. Up each side of the window was a rustic ladder, mado by fastening a slender cedar stick about four feet long in each corner of the box, then tacking bits of twisted mossy branches irregularly back and forth till the desired height was reached then longer pieces forn^d an arch over the top. In one box a white abutilon formed Ae center piece, witli scarlet geraniums and sweet breathed helio tropes on either side, while delicate maurandyas, with their dainty .leaves and blossoms, twined around and over tho rustic supports. Then, mingling with the stronger growing German ivy, senecio scandens fell in long festoons from the arch above. Bulbs of oxalis deppi, which had been tucked in here and there, furnished abundance of pret tily marked leaves, and the outside of the box was completely hidden by a perfect mat of otlionna, tradescantia, CJ ermau ivy and dew plant. The other box had a iargc, double, purple fuscliia in the centre, with white geraniums on either side, surrounded by quantities of mignonette and the same chai'ming con fusion of drooping vines. These boxes were sheltered by a veranda, but had an unlimited supply of sunshine during the middle of the day, and were perfect marvels of luxuriant growth. Bogonias are among the most suitable plants for this kind of gardening, and the tuberous-rooted varieties reduce the labor to a minimum. A box on my own veranda, last summer, contained our of the latter, while Maderia vines clambered over the lattice work of slender wil lows to the ends, and wreathed the up per part of the window with their own peculiar drapery of green leaves, and faintly sweet flowers. 'A quantity of va riegated periwinkles completed the ef fect. On the approach of cold weather, such a box can easily be removed to warmer quarters, gradually dried off, and then placed in a frost-proof room or dry cellar until the following spring. A collection of fucliias, half a dozen different kinds, in a large box is -also a charming, and unlike specimen pot plants, they can be left to their own de vices, and neither trimmed nor trained. For a good-sized box no vine is more desirable than the cobcea sc^demV'Snd it is easily grown frdmiieeill pots filled with moist ea^th^and plaeed side by side in ah empty match box, the l^pacea around them tightly, packed with rwet mods, the seeds planted edge dawn? the whole covered with a pane of glass' *et in a warm place and not watered, liave year after year 'started beautiful little plants for me. i. After, .the seeds have germinated, they ask "Ettte. favor Of any ond, and their rapidity of growth is something marvellous. Nothing adds so much to the chams of the rioa, glowia^ oolors^ of^foliage plants as a judicious mixiure of ferns, and. some of our native ones are quite equal to tie greenhouse varieties. Taken up in early spring before the fronds have begun to unroll them selves in the sunlight, and pm here and there among brilliant coleus ^or crimson dracsenas, they will gjow and thrive either in ^iade or sunslmje, and lendgrace begraty to their surround ings. Rustic, boxes filled entfir&y with ferns, and "wild grasses, and draped with mitohella vines, may deck a shel tered. Veranda all summer, and thjbU do duty at a north window as ferneries all winter. Cyperus alternifolius, also, though usually recommended for- Wardiau cases, will give charming effects among bouvardias or abutilons ih a large win dow box, and sweet peas and mignon ette are always acceptable. Sweetpeas must be covered three or sour inches when sown, or the vines will soon turn yellow and droop away without a single blossom. In regard to the size, shape and or namentation of the boxes much will de pend on theplants chosen. For strong, quick-growing ones, depth of soil and plenty of root room are required, while for the lower-groAving and delicate ones shallow boxes are more desirable. One thing bear in mind no art can deco rate equal to the forms, colors, shad ings, intricate loopings and draperies of healthy vines and flowers, so there is no necessity for elaborate ornament in the box itself it should always be sub ordinate to the plants therein. The soil should be light and rich, and the supply of water must be ample.—Vick's Illustrated Magazine. Early Pig1 Pasture. What is it best to sow for an earlj pasture for pigs, the coming summer, on a prairie soil newly broken Ans.—It is not advisable to pasture some grasses at all, or to pasture very early, the same season the seed is sown: but the best you can do is to sow fbm pounds of Orchard Grass, six pounds White Clover, four pounds Kentucky Blue Grass and 12 pounds Bed clover seed to tho acre. To this you might add three pounds of Northern Red Top. The White Clover is very early and is closely followed by Kentucky Blue Grass and Orchard Grass. Harrow the ground well and brush in the seeds. If you can do this just before a rain all the better. All the seeds mentioned may be sown together in the early spring. You might sow a patch of rye for pas ture to ease the grass, but the success of this you can best determine for your self.—Rural New Yorker. Growin? Celery. From tho Western Ilnral. We are asked to give directions for the cultivation of celery. Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the ground is fit to work. The ground should be level and the soil mellow and rich, and it is better when it is being thoroughly pulverised, which it ought to be, to mix it with short stable manure. Sow in rows eight inches apart, using one ounce of seed to every twenty feet of row. After sowing roll or pat down with a spade. As soon as the plants appear lioe lightly between the rows, and pull out the weeds as soon as they are seen. As the plants advance in growth cut oft' the tops—perhaps twice before planting—as that process in duces a stocky growth and plants treated thus suffer less in trans planting. It may be planted any time from the middle of June to the middle of August, but little is gained in planting before July. Prepai*e ground, and plant on a level surface with rows three feet apart and the plants sixteen inches apart in the rows, if it is a dwarf variety, five feet apart if of the large varieties. Firm the soil about the plant, especially if it is dry. Alter planting, nothing need be done for six weeks, except to run be twoen the rows with a cultivator and keep the plants free from weeds. About the middle of August begin to earth up to blanch up what is wanted for use in September, October and November. Draw the soil up about the plant with a hoe and firm it about it, so that the leaves shall be in an upright position. Then draw more dirt up about the row. A plow may be used for this purpose. But the blanching process is completed only when the soil is taken from be tween the rows and banked up to the top of the plants on each side. Management of Swine. How can we best manage our present crop of hogs during spring and early summer, and how can we get the earliest green feed for them, as corn is scarce and dear ANS.—Hogs which have been winter ed, will not only live, but thrive on grass or clover pasture. They c?n be kept along on such pasture without other food until spring grain is ripe. Peas are the best feed for hogs, and these will bo ready in about 2^ months after sowing. Barley is next best of the spring grains, and will mature sooner than tho peas. Early sweet corn can be utilized to good advantage, to be followed by later varieties, and fed stalks and all, and the hogs will eat it with great relish. There are more fattening prop erties in sweet corn-stalks than most people suppose. With the above aux iliaries hogs may be kept growing through tho summer, and be fattened without any corn. Young pigs, how ever, will require something more than pasture. Wheat middlings, or ground oats with the hulls sifted out, and slightly fermented, will make the best kind of food for pigs. The hulls of the oats are excellent for the calves or cows. If sows are suckling pigs, they will require additional food until the peas or barley are ready for them. The hogs may be turned into the peas,' and thus harvesting and grinding will, be unnecessary. Wheat might take the place of corn, and if ground entire in small quantities it Avill be ecxellent food for swine.—Rural New Yorker. When to Sow Clover. I see an inquiry in your paper as to, the time to sow clover seed. I was glad to see some one raise the discussion on clover. I will give my experience of. forty years, and what I have gathered, from others I have talked with. My facilities for knowing have been some what better than those of most farmers, as I have been selling a seed sower for the last ten years. From what I can gather, about the 15th of April is the best time, if the season is favorable if not, sow later, when the ground is dry and cracked, and before a rain. I don't sow on a snow or in the moon, but on the ground when out of the way of frost. By this plan a man won't miss getting a stand more than once in five or seyeni years, but if he sows early and the Seed* germinates he is a goner.—Indiana Farmer. Caution in Begardta Seed-corn. D. S., Ionia County, Mich., writes "For 15 years there has not been a sea son so bad for, ripening corn as that of. 1883. It is estimated that 150,000 bush els of seed-corn will be needed in the State of Wisconsin alone, owing to the failure of the corn to ripen.

It is not the lack of attention to the new workman that is lowering the standard in mechanical trades, but the folly?of parents in clos ing the doors of the tradesjih the face of their sons, and in the absence of good material we gat bad. It is very often the case that we get hold of a boy who has f3w or no qualifications, natural or acquired, for a trade,, but he can probably make more money at that than at common labor, and, as we can get no better, we have to do the best we can. There is ho doubt we are getting poor er subjects every year for apprentices for this very reason. But we can reach a point so low that it is impossible to get any lower, and I beheve we have about reached that point in some lines of business. Some parents, and boys too, are at last getting their eyes opened. They are learning that they cannot plant dudes and raise men. Many bubbles have been pricked, and much gilding has worn through. La bor is. becoming more dignified, because more than ever before it is wedded to thought. The manual training-schools which are springing up in nearly all of our large cities* arc giving instruction to many boys whose parents, perhaps, would not at first consent to them en tering the shops. These schools are doing a good work in teaching the prin ciples of trades, in fostering a genuine love fer mechanics, and in pointing out the way to the special field where the young man can labor with the assurance of receiving his highest reward. With such brightening prospects as tho work of the manual training school warrants we see no reason for fearing that the race of good workmen in any trade will soon die out. On the contrary, we be lieve we will see mechanics increasing in numbers and skill from year to year. —Scientific American. In the Lagoons of the Congo. "A rustling in the vegetation, and a large varanus lizard slips into the water or on some trampled bank a crocodile lies asleep in the warm sun, with a fixed smirk hanging about his grim muzzle. These lagoons are places that are seeth ing with life—life that is ever stirring, striving and active—and when you sud denly arrive, slipping and splashing in the watery footholds, the sudden si lence that greets you is the frightened, expectant hush of a thousand apprehen sive creatures. Beyond the lagoons and this strip of mud and water rises an al most impenetrable barrier of for est, nearly impossible to pass by land, but which is fortunately pierced by many little arms or natural canals of the congo, that intersect it and pen etrate to the firm, dry land beyond. As yon paddle gently ia a native canoe through the watery valleys of the vegetable Yenice, the majestic trees, firmly interlaced above and overarch ing the canal, shrouding all in pale green gloom, the glympses and vistas through the forest that you get reveal many beautiful forms of bird and insect life. Barbets, with red forehead and large, notched bills, are sittiug in stu pid meditation on the twigs, giving a harsh and mechanical squeak, if tho too near approach of the canoe disturbs their reverie. Little African wood peckers are creeping up the branches, deftly turning round towards the un seen side when they observe you large, green mantises, or 'praying insects,' are chasing small flies with their great, pouncing forelegs, and every now and then a blue roller-bird snaps up a man tis, in spite of its wonderful assimila tion to its leafy souiTouiidings. Farth er into the forest, thejcanal, a blind alley of water, stops, the soil be comes solid and well raised, and a native path is discernible, leading through the now more park-like and formal clumps of forest to a distant vil lage, whence the crowing of cocks and the occasional shouts of the inhabitants can be heard. But the birds do not lessen because we are approaching the abode of men. Out .of the bosky trees little troops of black and white hornbills sud denly start, and flap their loose, irreg ular flight to another refuge. Violet plantain-eaters gleam out in their beau ty from time to time golden cuckoos, yellow-vented bulbuls, green fruit pig eons, gray parrots, parrots that are gray and blue and yellow-.shr/Uldered, green love-birds, a multitude of little wax-bills, a medley of diverse and beautiful birds, enliven this walk through the forest, along the black, peat path, with their loud cries, their lovely plumage and their rapid move ments."—From H. H. Johnston's book on the Congo. The' Infernal Machine. The infernal machine can hardly be called anew invention. The explosive force of gunpowder was too destructive an agent to escape the notice of the disaffected. The shell no doubt sug gested the Orsini bomb. It was de structive, but it was bulky.

Dr. Miller who made the examination of Guiteau's brain, has been devoting considerable attention to the effect of different professions on longevity. His conclusion is that the average life of business men is fifty years in this coun try and sixty in England, statesmen seventy-two in England to seventy here, English chief justices sixty-eight, Amer icans, sixty. The Americans, in his opinion, are too active and not regular enough in their habits. A Boston man writes of doctors who advertise: "Many such advertisers are specialists, and on old physician frankly tells me that as the practice of medicine is all 'an experiment,' the 'regulars' al ways use the goods which these special ists have proven to be eflicacious. They spend years studying the eye, ear or some other part of the body, and con sequently know more about it than a doctor with a general practice, who con sults old books and. is not progressive." Tho City of Mexico possesses many delights for the northern visitor, but there is one drawback mentioned by a correspondent which is rarely' referred to. He says: "For the first two days I was a little troubled for breath on this lofty plateau ('2,000 feet higher than the top of Mount Washington), and my lips were dry and my throat parched but my lungs have now become accus tomed to the rarified air, and by taking outdoor exercise only in the morning and evening and drinking a little claret and a good deal less water, I succeed in being very comfortable." A scientific physician says: "In the morning there is an acrid state of the secretions, and nothing is so well calcu lated to correct it as peaches, apples, etc. The small seed fruits, such as figs, blackberries, raspberries and strawber ries, may be classed among the best fruits and medicines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid purifying and the seeds lazative. We should look more to our gardens for our medicines and less to our drug stores." It is not fair to charge workingmen with being low in their tastes or with preferring the saloon, and the beer-hall, and the tavern, until they have had the oppotunity to educate themselves. The success of the workingmen's Sunday concerts in New York ought to be the starting point for similar efforts in other cities, and it only needs a trifling gen erosity on the part of our wealthy men to repeat the success. The rich have their Sunday service in churches to wliich the poor cannot afford to go. Let the poor have their service also, and what better service can they have than good music on the only day of rest they have ?—Chicago Tribune. The origin of attar of roses is said to have been this: To please a voluptu ous monarch his favorite sultana caused his bath in the palace garden to be filled to the brim with rose water. The ac tion of the sun soon concentrated the oily particles floating on the surface, and the attendant, supposing the water to have become corrupt, began to skim it for the purpose of taking off the oil. The globules burst under the process, and emitted such a delightful odor that the idea of preparing this beautiful per fume was at once suggested. Personal Gossip.

Truly the Bible say ing h°lds good, "to him that hath shall it be given." Evans'is already several times a mil lionaire, and this will be a qretty addi tion to his fortune, which is increasing at the rate of hundreds of thousands yearly. It is generally supposed that he made the most of his fortune filling teeth. But this is a mistake, as the fol lowing talk with one of the oldest den tists in the United States, a man who was years ago connected with one of the imperial courts of Europe, will show: "Dr. Evans," said the gentleman, was born in Lancaster county, 'Peun., and he started, life as a jeweler's appren tice in Lancaster, the same town in which Buchanan began life as a young lawyer. After learning the jewelry trade he went to Philadelphia and there in some way got into dentistry. Before he knew much about it he took a notion to go to Europe, and got letters from the College of Dentistry at Baltimore to Brewster, who was then the leading American dentist in Paris. Evans was a money making fellow and very plausi ble. When he called on Brewster, Brewster saw he was bound to make his way anyhow, and fearing if he did not employ him Evans would hurt his trade, he entered into a partnership with him, The conditions of the contract'were that Evans should work for Brewster three years at a nominal salary, and at the close of that time Brewster should go out of the practice and leave it to Evans, pnd he was bound thereafter not to Aractice within three leagues of Paris, wfterwards he found that Evans was aorkmg entirely for himself and not at all for him. He would spend hours on a filling, making it shine and finishing it up beautifully at theexpence of the office. Then Brewster tried to break the contract, Evans fought hun in the pourts and beat him. And Brewster was thus crowded out of Paris. "When did Evans become Court den tist?" "I don't know tho time. He says, I understand, that he was filling Euge nie's teeth when Louis Napoleon came to his office for some dental Avork, and that here th9 two met. and from that meeting afterward sprang their mar riage. Napoleon owed much to Evans in many ways. You know he saved the life of Eugenie one night as she left the ,Grand Opera House, and an attempt was made to assassinate Napoleon by throwing hand-grenades. He afterward aided Eugenie in escaping to England and went with her in 1870. At this time everyone else had deserted the Em press, and she fled to Dr. Evan's house. The doctor's wife was at the seashore, and Eugenie, dressed in Mrs. Evan's clothing, was passed off by Evans as his wife, and driven in his own carriage to the Norman coast. Thence they got a boat to England. "Dr. Evans,"this gentleman went on, "is worth several millions, and he has a grand palace in Paris. His offico practice in the Hue de la Paix nets him probably $60,000 a year, but this is not how he has made the most of his money. When Napoleon was President of the Republic he was quite poor. He died very wealthy, and much of his money was made through Evans. Napoleon knew what action was going to be taken on public matters, and he also knew how this would affect stocks. If he could use his information in buying and selling he could make large sums easily. But it would not do for Napoleon to be connected with a broker. There must be some trusty go-between, added to a Eafe banker. Evans, I am told by good authority, was the go-between, and his position as dentist enabled him to do it to the best of his advantage. He had access to Napoleon at all hours, and he was the only one who could take precedence over the Cabinet and every pne else. He attended him at his toilet at 8 o'clock in the morning, and was on as close terms with Eugenie as "with Louis Napoleon. "One day Eugenie said to him: 'Dr. Evans, at 11 o'clock to-morrow an order will be issued withdrawing the French troops from Rome.' Evans at once went to the broker and invested in cer tain securities which he knew would be affected. At 12 tho next day, after the order was issued, these securities went up like a shot, and Evans made $60,000. Of course, Eugenie came in for her share for her pin money. Dr. Evans," continued this gentle man, occupied this position during all that time when Baron Haussmann was improving Paris, and he and Napoleon made great sums in speculating on the advances in property to arise from the changes. When the avenue de l'lmper atrice was to be laid out, Napoleon, taking down a drawing, showed Evans certain property and told him to buy it. Evans did so and this in a few days af ter was worth from thirty to fifty times the amount Evans paid for it. I sup pose that he and the Emperor afterward divided the profits. "But Dr. Evans' practice alone amounts to a great deal. He has deal ings with many of the courts of Europe, and though I do not consider him a good dentist, still he has that reputation, and makes a great deal of money. When Napoleon was on the throne it is thought he acted as Napoleon's diplomatic agent in a quiet way on the pretense of his trade. Going, for instance to Rus sia, the rest of the world wondered what Lotus Napoleon and the Czar was up to He received from the sovereigns in Europe diamonds, jewelry and pictures for the work he did them, and his house is filled with beautiful things which came from his practice.—Washington Corr. Cleveland Leader. Why the Marriage Did Not Take Place. What is said to be the true story of the postponement of the wedding of Hugh J. Jewett's daughter Julia and the subsequent breaking of the engage ment with young McCormack of the great mower and reaper concern at Chi cago, is just beginning to be talked about at the clubs in New York. The wedding was to have taken place some three or four months ago. McCormack came on three weeks before the day set. In that time he managed to so offend his affianced's sense of propriety by boasts of his wealth and other similar gaucheries that he became actually of fensive to her. She told her Sister she would never forgive herself if she mar ried him. Her father was absent from home, but her brothers insisted that if would disgrace the family for her at that late day to throw McCormack over,and won her reluctant consent to let the ceremony take place Mr. Jewett got home on Saturday night before the Wednesday set for the wedding. When he learned of the change of his daugh ter's affection he said there was only one rule by which he should be guided.. It she did not love the man she should Dot marry him. As for any disgrace involved in acting Under such a rule, he, as the head of the family, was prepared to meet it. It is Baid the boys felt rather cut up at their fathers decision, as they had hoped much from the union of two such prominent families. But everybody whose opinion is worth hav ing commends Mr. Jewett's action. Mr. J. M. Langston, the American Minister at Port au Prince, has demand ed of the Haytian Government the pay ment of $400,000 as an indemnity for the American losses on account of the riots last September. The German claims for the same cause amount to 1500,000. The French clainw reach an equal sum, and the English claims are 1250,000. The Haytutn Government las put" into circulation am. additional 51,000,000 of paper money.

It for 'some time had been sus- Eept ected that Keene was in a Btrait,-but pluck him up, and until lately he thoughthe vyould pull through. Very little was held aginst hun by brokers, bat he has privileges out of which havo come heavy losses. He paid out recently to holders of his stocks 175,000. The failure was for but $14,000. Tlie following statement was issued for pub lication After paying out millions of dollars in cash during the last few months, in my efforts to protect my privileges in the falling market, I have finally determined to call a halt in the interests of those with whom I have busi ness. JAMBS R. KEENE. Keene's career has been wonderful. He made his foi*tune in silver speculation in San Francisco. He was a bull in Crown Point from $10 to $2,700, and a bear all the way down. It is estimated that his winnings there were from three to live millions. Coming here in 1879, entered the market as a bull and was credited in two years with having added to his fortune $7,000,000. Meanwhile he had won a reputa tion as being one of the pluckiest operators ever on the street. Everything he-touched during his success turned to money, and quite early his Wall street experience he worsted Mr. Gould It is curious that the remarkable drop in Gould's Western Union recently was the direct cause of Keene's failure. Luck turned against him in 1881. He lost on wheat at Chicago and had a fight with tho Standard Oil company, which cost him an immense sum. Then some of his speculations turned on him. He fought pluckily but could not resist the tide. Ho has paid out within two years millions of dollars on privilege accounts. In Msmory of Judge Kidder. Sioux Falls.—At a meeting of members of the bar of Minnehaha county and officers of the general term of the district court, on the 1st inst., a committee, consisting of E. Parli man, William A. Wilkes, H. H. Kieth, T. S. Free and F. L. Boyce, was appointed to pre paro resolutions on the death of the late Hon. Jefferson P. Kidder, judge of the Fourth ju dicial district. This committee, at a meeting recently, reported the following, which was adoptod and ordered entered in the court record: Resolved, That the supremo court of this ter ritory, the district court of tho Fourth judicial district, the bar, and people of this territory have sustained in the death of the Hon. Jeffer son P. Kiddor, the loss of an honorable and upright judge. That his long judicial career in this territory has been marked by great in dustry, high abilities, and incorruptible integ rity, and in tho termination of his long public career, universal regret is folt and unusual sympathy extended. Resolved, That in this slight tribute to his memory we can but inadequately express the loss sustained by his death. That his life and labors, characterized as they were by honor, industry and the fullest integrity, are left for the future, and Btand as an encouragement to those of us who survive him, showing that suc cess in life depends more upon integrity and good faith than upon more brilliant accom plishments.

Milwaukee Special: The greatest and most genuine social surprise of the soason was the announcement recently that Ella Wheeler was married to a wealthy young manufacturer from Connecticut. The marriage was a very quiet affair, and took place at tho home of CoL H. S. Benjamin, at Prospect avenue, where- Miss Wheeler has been visiting for several weeks. The bridegroom is R. ML Wilcox, one of a heavy firm of silverware manufacturers. Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox started for the East. A magnifi cent home awaits them at Meridian, Conn. The first acquaintance and courtship have been very romantic, and Wisconsin's poetess leaves her old home and friends followed by thou sands of wishes for her future happiness and prosperity. Miss Wheeler was born in 1851, at Windsor, Dane county, Wis., where she has since lived with her parents. At the age of twelve years she began writing poetry, and became one of the most prolific versifiors in the country. She has published three volumes of miscellaneous poems, viz.: "Shells," "Maurine and Other po ems," and "Poems of Passion." The last work appeared last year, and some of the pieces it comprises havo been sharply criticised on tho gronnd that their nature was too ardent for a young unmarried woman to give to the world, Miss Wheeler, it was lately given out, is en gaged upon a volume of religious poems. Death of a Prominent Badger. O. M. Conover, LL. D., court reporter of the Wisconsin supreme court, died very suddenly and unexpectedly in London, England, at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, the 30th, of heart disease, aged fifty-nine years. Eighteen months ago he was married, for the second, time to Miss Sarah Dean, sister of Gen. Lucius Fairohild, since which time he bad been taking an extended bridal tour in Europe. Mr. Conover was bom at Dayton, Ohio, and graduated at Princeton college, both from the classical and theological departments.

In 1876 he was appointed court reporter. Ho leaves three children who live in Madison, one son being a professor ol engin eering in tho university, and another practic ing law, while a daughter is matron of ladies' liall at the university.

Cannon of Stillwater, Mina, has been nominated as Mr. Knox's successor, and will be confirmed without opposition. Mr John Jay Knox remained at the desk of tho controller of the currency, which he has occu pied for twelve years, and then took the train for New York to assume the presidency of the Bank of tho Republic in that city.

He will be dined by the bankers of Boston Monday, but does not expect to return to Washington until the latter part of June. A 3San or woman with a weak stomach is not in good health. Weak stomachs lead to'weak nerves, or what are known as the "fidgets," debility, melancholy, and various other ills. Many per sons are not aware of it, or, if they are, say to themselves: "Oh, well, let the stomach brace up of its own accord I guess I'll weather it" By neglecting to care for their stomachs peo ple make a great mistake the gastric pit is one of the most honest and faithful organs of the body and deserves the best of treatment. To you who feel in need of a good medicine for the stomach we take.pleas urc in recommending Burdock Blood Bitters, calculated especially as a cure for dyspepsia and indigestion, and sure also to do excellent service in correcting and toning the secretary organs—the liver and the kidneys.

Overtaking her, he felled her to the ground and repeated the blow four times, each blow indenting and fracturing the skull. Supposing her dead he ran away. Her sister called for help and the wife was found in a comatose state. Surgeons worked for hours extracting pieces of skull and reliev ing the pressure from the brain. It is thought she has a slight chance of recovery. A search for Thompson showed that he Sad plunged head first a deep well and thus ended his ex istence.
