Travel in Corsica, and enter what
ever house. you will— a shepherd's hut,
a peasant's cottage, the doctor's apart
ment, or M. le Mairc's line stone build
ing— will find the womankind
keeping in the background, just visible
in a faint chiar-oscuro. At meal times
wife and daughter will not sit down
with the ' guests. Mothers and daugh
ters are cither entirely absent or hover
ing about 'as your attendants. This is
an uncomfortable feature of the enter
tainment; but woe to the luckless wight
who shows restivencss under these cir
cumstances, and awkwardly hazards an
inquiry as to • tlie. ladies' destiny. His
inquiries will be entirely ignored, or
he .will be frowned upon into
uncomfortable " silence. Even : at
a marriage ceremony the wom
an plays an inferior part. She
takes pretty nearly the . heaviest
share of the day' s labor, and though
sometimes allowed a voice in family
matters, is never permitted to show* an
independent will or wish before strang
ers. Only too often, however, she is a
mere cipher in family conclaves, obeys
her lord and master's behests, but does
not originate a single idea. Out of
doors the men go forth to, work solemn
ly, gun in hand, while the women walk
behind carrying- the heavy tools or
cumbersome wood fagots. If the happy
couple have to climb a steep -and stony
path, and they happen to possess only
one horse, it is the man who bestrides
the wiry-limbed bease. while the wife
may consider herself lucky if she be
fiermittcd to catch hold of -the stirrup
cathcr or the horse's tail.
JLOVE.
A voice of pity strove to bloss
In accents bountifully kind,
But still my grief no redress,
Grown mad and blind.
The present made herself my slave,
Hither and thither came and went:
All that she had poor Kindness gave,
Till all were spent.
She tried to soothe and make mc whole;
Her touch was torment in my pain;
It froze my heart, benumbed my soul,
And crazed my brain. • .
At last, her duty all fulfilled,
She turned with cheerful ease away,*
Yet would have lingered, had I willed -
That she should stay.
And ! there knelt, where she had stood,
One, wistful as a child might be..
Who blushed at her own hardihood
In helping me.
She said no word, she only turned
tier passionate, sweet eyes on mine,
Until with my sorrow burned
A bliss divine.
And In that gaze I woke once more,*
To earth beneath and heaven above;
This was not kindness as before, - •-;'..
But only love.. y**?«gS(f*l_WMßlP--M

MARION'S SWEET SAY
She Who Is Called Harland
Insists That All Should
Marry.
Bachelorhood Tolerable, But
Not Very Good for Man-

There Is Too Much Expected
of Husband and
Wife.
■»_h--f_Mp-4_a
She Confesses That Neither
She Confesses That Neither
Men Nor Women Are
Angels.
Myth, parable and instinct all point
to one cardinal truth— i. c., the supreme
necessity of mating soul as well as body
together with the blessings which— to
borrow churclily phraseology— "do ac
company and flow from " a right choice
of husband or wife, and the woes at
tendant upon misalliance. It would be
a waste of words to adduce proofs of the
existence of this natural law. It is coe
val with the race and will last while
time endures. In the assertion of its
might, the law of love and love's union
has proved stronger than policy, and
when a perverted piety has withstood it,
mightier than a superstition which is
mistaken for grace.
Thus stands the eternal truth. It
may be tolerable, but it is never good
for man to be alone. The highest form
of human happiness, ami that which
tends most surely to the symmetrical
development of character and disposi
tion, is to be found in a right marriage.
Thus far it is all plain sailing, and our
talk euphemistic, truthful and plati
tudinal.
* *
Imagination, heated and colored by
love, makes of the wedded state an im
possible Eden, such as was guarded
from sinful man by the flaming, whirl
ing sword.
"After to-morrow," exclaimed an
ardent youth on the eve of marriage,
"1 shall have no past, and expect no
future. I shall live in one blissful,
eternal Now!"
That man was doomed to disappoint
ment with the inevitableness of the
downward plunge of the rocket-stick.
If people will stake life's haopiness
upon the swaying powers of pyrotech
nics, they have only themselves to blame
when the blaze goes out in sulphurous
smoke.
Marriage is not transformation. John
will be as cross when he is hungry, as
glum when distraught with business
anxieties, as uncomfortable when his
collar chafes his neck— in a word, as
human and fallible a John wedded as
single. He is a good son and brother,
yet betrothed Mary has heard him
speak impatiently to his mother and
tartly to his sister. He will, upon
what he reckons as sufficient
occasions, be both curt and petulant
with his wife when once the "new-eliy"
has worn off. Were this not true he
would be an angel, and angels do not
wear tweed business suits and Derby
hats, or have dyspepsia and smoke more
than is wholesome for nerves and
pocket. Bills are never presented to
cherubim at most ingeniously incon
venient times, and seraphim have no
natural but thin-skinned conceit that
will not brook wifely criticism.
* ■*
Mother— home— heaven— are a triad
of the sweet words in the English
language. Yet the last is the only one
that has never deceived, and will never
disappoint the trusting heart. The
gentlest, least selfish of mothers has her
moods and whims, which are, with diffi
culty, tolerated by dutiful children.
Every home has its clouds and thunder
showers, and each individual heart its
hidden bitterness. There are as many
"ideal marriages" as ideal associations
between parent and child and between
brothers and sisters."
When one takes into consideration
the strength of blood ties in these last
named relations, and of habits of
toleration continued from infancy to
maturity in the household, as. con
trasted with the, by comparison slight
acquaintance which has been formed
and prosecuted under flattering con
ditions between the yodng couple in
dissolubly united, the miracle is that
they ever get on or even "rub on" so
comfortably together. Courtship has
been described as "a period of
varying • length, pleasantly ' spent
by two people in deceiving one
another." Let us consider for one in
stant their differences in breeding, edu
cation and habits, the abrupt change
from the drawing room courts-tin afore
said to the working-day intimacy of
bread-winner and bread-maker, and
marvel that love, hope, faith and joy
do not go down quick into the pit of
disenchantment within a fortnight
after the day which was to begin the
"eternal now."
The apostle of matrimony may well
tighten his hold upon the everlasting
verity pronounced by the Creator In the
earliest marriage ceremony.
Heaven forbid that one written or
spoken word of mine should go to con
firm the vulgar prejudice against, spins
ter hood! Sweet and " holy souls there
are in every community— almost in
every home— living for,' and in others
that highest form of mortal existence,
the blessedness that transcends happi
ness. The household is hardly perfect
which has not in it and of it an old maid
who is everybody's aunt or cousin. She
may be said slightingly to have been
sent into the world "to fill up a chink,"
out it is much to have her always at
hand with trowel and mortar.
The old maid can knead her person
ality into the daily bread of the house
hold, and, iu -inauy' cases, become the
gentle leaven that makes light and pal
atable the whole lump. The confirmed
bachelor can not be mixed in any
where. He may have "apartments"—
luxurious and aesthetic beyond what
his income, shared with wife and baby,
would warrant him in keeping up..
"Society" may claim his even
ings, " while he can preserve a
show of youth, and his club
dinners be all his epicurean soul de
sires. The best appointments of his
habitation, be they expensive or simple,
can only convert it into a place in which
to stay. He lives nowhere. It was
never intended by the • beneficent

soul and mind should dwell for
ever upon the circumference of
home. In the deliberate for
feiture of his birthright to
be the center and founder of a house
hold, he narrows and belittles himself.
He becomes a wanderer in the wide
spaces of creation, an asteroid shivered
from the parent planet, gathering noth
ing by accretion or fusion— a spark of
humanity, whose place and name are
alike unimportant in taking stock of the
forces of society and the world.

A. weary • man of suburban aspect
drew himself up to a tramp :". yesterday.

of a City Hall park, settee and a neigh
bor. •';'■' V '■■■'."■'.'. .•:..-■,
. "Friend," spoke tho weary man,
"what will yon take for your seat?". -^
- The tramp did not evince much inter
est in the inquiry or any desire to nego
tiate."
"Suppose," continued the tired-look
ing stranger, "1 was to '<: offer, you the:
price of a glass of beer, what would you
do with it?' .:-. i;
"I should go and get the glass of
beer," replied the tramp. : ■ i
"Very well, here it is," said the way
farer, producing a nickel. . Whereupon;
the tramp took the coin, vacated the"
bench, took the shortest cut to the
nearest saloon, and the weary man sank:
with . a sigh of relief into the empty*;
place. yss^^^^fa^j^gg^BStSß^Mt
"I never saw such a crowded town as
New York in my life," he remarked to;
the neighbor. And being in an affable
mood he did not notice that that person (
paid *no attention to - his observation,
but continued: "I came to New York
last Saturday, and I declare I've been
on my feet and crowded out evei since.
It began on the ferryboat. I had to
stand up all the way across the river.
Then I got on the elevated. No seats. I
hung on by a strap to my station. Then
I went to a hotel. Full. Went to an
other. Full. At last I got an inside
eleventh-story room. . Thinks I, after
dinner 'I'll have a little fun,' so I went
to a neighboring theater. 'Standing
room only' was stuck on the sidewalk.
I went to another. 'Seats all sold.' said
the man in the box office. * :
"Well, I was disgusted. I turned
away, thinking I'd go to bed, when I
remembered there was a political meet
ing near by. So off I went to that, but
1 could only get half way up the stairs
to the hall, it was such a jam. I bal
anced on the staircase a few moments,
and then left and went across the street
to a big beer garden. But the waiters
were flying around so fast they wouldn't
look at me, and so I soon got out of that
as thirsty as when- 1 went in. I spent
the rest of the evening waiting lor a
turn to get my Sunday shave.
"When Sunday came, 'Now,' thinks
I, 'I'll hear some of this famous preach
ing and music they tell of,' so 1 got an
address and poked off to church. Well,
by thunder, the same old crowd! Hun
dreds of people standing in the aisles
and around the doors, and nobody to be
seated till the service was well a-going.
1 couldn't bear that, so off I went to an
other swell church; but there was the
same crowd again, which satisfied me
as to church worship for one day.
Well, then, Monday I went shopping
to get some notions my wife wanted me
to buy for her. - And such a crowd as I
got into! The place was a mob, only
the people in the thickest of it were
shouting 'Cash!' instead of "Murder.' It
took me pretty much all the afternoon to
iind the right counters and get waited
on. Then" had to wait for the dentist
and the chiropodist, and, by jingo, a
pancake man, who was selling cakes on
the curbstone, he made there: and soon
everywhere and forever,, crowded, full,
everywhere. It was just the same here,
you see, all the seats full. You saw 1
absolutely had to buy one."
Just then the neighbor, who had
shown no interest in the grumbling nar
rative, made a limp lurch, which threw
him heavily upon the speaker's shoulder
and almost into his lap. ;;:*
Tbe weary man started and looked at
the limn and boozy neighbor in disgust.
"By thunder, he's full; too!" he ex
claimed, and he got up and left town.
When last seen he was standing up on
a crowded ferry boat, valise in hand,
with a very discontented expression of
countenance. y'-''4
Stuttering Stories.
Pittsburg Dispatch.'
An unkind story— even if true— was
told me while I was in England of a
young lady who married a stuttering
man. -^y-. ,yyj.y yy.7^:j'7 7 >..-;':- 7~fz
i .The young man was undoubtedly a
stutterer of.the most positive order, foe:
I have heard him go through paroxysms
to get out a simple "Good morning!"
The lady whom, he subsequently mar
ried Was of an eminently practical turn
of mind. No maiden modesty or bash
fulness cloyed her methods. She spoke
to the point and never left a thought un
expressed if she deemed it pertinent.
After he had called upon her some three
or four times -she decided that it was
about time for her to know his inten
tions. So the next time he called, after
they had seated themselves as usual on
the; sofa, she said quietly but firmly:
"Mr. Smith, lam very much flattered
by the interest you have taken in me,
and the flowers you have given me are
very pretty, but 1 feel that I should not
be doing my duty if I delayed any.
longer asking you what your intentions
are; whither do these intentions and
presents lead?"
Young Mr. Smith rose to his feet and
a blush rose to his cheeks. He essayed
to speak. For a moment his lips and
tongue seemed paralyzed. ■- Then he
managed to get out "M-M-M-M-My
d-d-d-d-d"— but he could get no farther.
The d might have stood for any number
of words, but Miss Smith, justifiable,
perhaps, interpreted it to 'stand for
darling and the youth's acute embarrass
ment to a modest confusion in making a
formal proposal. •
: Any way, she took Mr. Smith by the
hand, and looking into his eyes, ex
claimed: "Mr. Smith. I appreciate your
embarrassment, but I understand what
you wish to say. You may speak to
papa, and if he approves, so do I." * '" -
They were married a few months later,
but Mr. Smith has never explained sat
isfactorily to his friends whether he
stuttered into matrimony of his own free
will or against it.
• Another amusing consequence of an
impeded speech comes to my mind. :.'
A lady who could not say twenty
words without stuttering to a greater or
less extent, called upon a family that
had moved into her neighborhood a
short lime before. As luck would have
it, in this family was a young lady who
stuttered, and she it was who opened
the door when the afore-mentioned lady
called. For convenience let us call the ;
caller Mrs. X., and the girl who is stand
ing inside the door is Miss Y. \ ■'-:
Mrs. X. was a little nervous, and
thence her infirmity gathered strength.
Said she: "Is M-M-M-M-M," and so on.
Miss Y. gazed at Mrs. X. in • astonish
ment, and as the "M's" piled up and
nothing intelligible followed them, she
asked: "Wer-wer-wer-wer-wer what
d-d-do you want?" PB9B
Now it was Mrs. X.'s turn to be as
tonished, and, worse still, angry. She
thought Miss Y. was imitating her, and
she said tolerably clearly: "You are
the m-m-m-m-most im-im-impudent girl
I ever saw." 'TPIMHrV"
Puzzled Miss Y. grew mad at this,
and slammed the door in Mrs. X.'s face,
and reported to her mother that she had
just couversed with a maniac.
A great disturbance shook the neigh
borhood in consequence of this inter
view, but mutual friends stepped in and
explained to the ladies the true origin
of the difficulty, and they grew to be
fast friends afterward.

the actual number of arrivals and \ de
partures of vessels for the season has
not been as great as last year, the season
has been more active, and much more
has been accomplished than a surface
glance would indicate. In fuel alone
there has been brought to Duluth dur

obliged to lose a single day on account
of rough weather, except in the rare in

STEW STREET CAR I.TXE.
The "West Duluth Street Car company
has filed articles of incorporation, with
C. E. Shannon, W. E. Tanner, G. A.
Elder, B. H. Harris, W. F. llurlbut and
W. 11. 11. Stowell as incorporators. The
capital stock is $100,000, and the com
pany will continue fifty years. It is the
purpose of the company to connect with
the western end of the present service
and continue the line through to the
Minnesota Car company's plant, provid
ing permission can be secured from the
authorities. Mr. Lowry, too, is after
the same privilege, but as the company
just incorporated is a distinctively Du
luth concern, and composed of gentle
men perfectly competent and willing to
handle the scheme to the best interest
of all concerned, several members of
the city council have expressed a prefer
ence for the local enterprise and Mr.
Lowry may for once find himself left.
A COAL FIND.
: With her inexhaustible supply of iron,
Duluth has only needed coal as a fuel to
with which to work it up. And now
comes a brace of Pennsylvania experts
and say that on the St. Louis river, be
tween Thompson and Cloquet, distant
about twenty-five miles from Duluth,
there exists a deposit of coal bearing
every indication of quantity and quality
sufficient to meet all requirements. The
property will be developed, and should
it prove to be as claimed, another boom
awaits the head of the lake such as was
never dreamed of. .
THE LOAVES AND FISHES.
■ The canvassing board finished its la
bors during the" week, and Col, C. H.
Graves goes to the legislature with a
clean 4,160 majority, while his plurality
reaches nearly 5,000. And it is upon
these figures that the colonel will bear
hjs claim to tlie speakership. No other
representative can show anything like
such a popular indorsement, nor will
any of them go to St. Paul with greater
freedom from political pledges. So far
as the senatorship is concerned, what
ever his preferences may be, no man is
authorized to say that Col. Graves is for
or against any of the candidates. He is
after the speakership, and Duluth
wants him to - get it, because
Duluth has,.* never been given
the * ghost , of a show - at
anything that would show of what man
ner of men she is composed. .'We are a
good third in the cities of the state,* and
while senators have hailed from Wi
nona, governors, from -Red Wing, and

This is getting too thin, gentle
men, and the sperkership is
the loaf we ask with a Dig A.
Duluth Republicans are making a
pretty mess of it. They all want office,
and "in their greed are jostling each
other about and. saying such , unkind
tilings that in all likelihood the appoint
ing powers will become disgusted with
the whole outfit, and they will all get
left. Frank Burke, Jr. is bound to have
a place on the state .workhouse board.
while there are many prominent local
politicians who would rather see the ap
pointment go to Jericko than nave
have Frank get it, and though they
may not be able to dictate who the
position shall go to they can, at least,
keep it away, from him. The Daily
News, is fighting him tooth and naif,
and the News is backed by the same ele
ment that laid Mr. Burke out
cold and stiff in the last
county convention. In turn Burke
and his friends will not al
low E. G. Swanstrom or any one else
get the place if they can help it— and
they orobably can.- So that all In all
the'ehances are excellent for the city's
being again left out in the cold because
of the dog-in-the-mainger policy of
chronic office seekers.
