CoART, Secretarji, -;V.- i The Quilting-Bee. One winter by the Merrimac, some two-ecorc vears ago. Vou could not see the fence-rails for the drift- ed heaps of snow. The flocks of chickadees would come and in the door-yard stand, Too hunger-tamed to fear the touch , of even a boyish hand. I sat beside the kitchen fire; the chores at last were done: The farmey's wife unwilling, owned my tasks a rest had won. When down the road all silver-sweet, sleigh-bells' jingle came, the And though the frosty air I heard, trice called in hast, my name, Imperious a girlish voice, "Oh, John, be quick, for see, You're wanted over at the Spragues! They've . got a quiltin'-bee." A quilting-bee? I held my breath. "And pray, what good are you?" I heeded not the dame's sharp tongue, she al ways was a shrew; But coat and mnfQer hurried on. I sprang into 1 thesieizh. re And like the wind we flew along behind the , i,uir,tbJr , J nledfle t minC' E np And mixed its music with the chimes so rol- 1 lick.ng and sweet; Perhaps perhaps I kissed her cheek, the merry bine-eyed maid, Perhaps we whispered loving words, but pace we never staid Till at the Sprague's our 'rein we drew, anda saucy Kate to me 1 Said airily, ''I've brought you, John, to Sally's quiltin bee." The house was gay with candlelight, the lamps were all aglow, The ruddy flame came streaming forth across t' e shining snow. The girls weresitting by the frame, their need les out and in Went flashing to and fro, through such a mer ry din, You scarce could hear yourself for fun, and when the work was o'er, Then swift we piled away the chairs, and clenr- ' ed the kitchen floor, And Uncle . Archie drew hU bow across the fiddle strings, . And men and maids, we danced that night as if our feet were wines. My word! the very thought of that sets this old heart athnll, 'd dance again as then I danced, and with a right good will, If Kate could call me once train, as sweet at sweet could be, 'Come, John, make haste, you're wanted, John. at Sally s quiltin -bee. But Kate, my Kate, for many a year, no mortal ears have heard he tones which rang with melody, surpassing any bird. The angels wanted her too soon; they always want the best; They take the one whose absence leaves an ache in every breast. Fler grave is in the open ground, beneath the open skv, Right in the fair home meadow, where her father s people lie; And I have been a lonely man, and cumbered oft with ehre. And.bowed beneath the burden that my dar ling used to share. I little thought how soon the gold to ashen gray would be Turned darkly, when I went with Kate to Sul ly s quilting bee. What's that, young man? ' You've come to say that you and daughter Sue Would like to join your hands for life that she has promised vou. In case her father will consent, '-lie will, the dear old dad. She cries, and 'tis the same sweet way her darling mother had. And she, though not a touch to Kate, has dancing eves ef blue, And cheeks that hide the dimples, where the " blush comes peepinjr through. Take her, young man, be eood to her; I have f had my day. I'll not begrudge the happiness that seerns to point your way. But much I doubt if you will know the bliss that fell to me, V he& Kate said "yes that night we. went tp Sally's quilting-bee. Margaret E, Sangtter, in Once a Week, Minority Rule in a Republic. The boast f the Republic is that the majority rules. But it does not arways. More people voted for Q ro ver Cleveland last November thin for Benjamin Harrison. Yet on the 4th of March Mr. Harrison became Presi dent and Mr. Cleveland "retired to pri vate life. That is an anomally which may hap pen at any time under our electora system. -It has given rise to much dis cussion and no little agitation for re form. The. democratic ' party must make it an issue in the near future. They, have a majority in the United States, yet . they did not elect treir President in 1888 and may fail to elect one in 1892 and thereafter, though polling a majority of the pop ular vote. The anomaly will be made more striking in the next election by reason of the admission of the New States. Some interesting results of the working of the present nystem are shown elsewhere in the Herald this morning. In Nevada, for instance, one electoral vote represents about twenty thousand population; in Penn sylvania it represents a hundred and forty-two thousand. In other words, the vote of one man in Nevada is equiv alent to the vote of seven men in Penn sylvania. Similar disproportions run through out the country. The result is, as shown elsewhere, that a group of States with twenty-one million people may elect a President -over another group with twenty-seven million. Is this popular government gov ernment of tne people by the people? That is a serious question for the dem ocrats, who are the chief suffers under the existing system. . The problem presented is not how to abolish the Electoral College, but how to fo modify it as to give effect to the idea of government bv m ijorities. X Y. Herald. a How the Peanut Cares Insomnia. Washington Post. We have always entertained a tender regard for the peanut. Its comfort able homliness, its sweet, awkward simplicity, its unobtrusive modesty, have wou for it a way to our heart and awakened there that delicate sentiment of affection which lingers as a holv fragrance about the soul of the lover. ennobling him, beckoning him to deeds of greatness. We are, of course, on terms of familiarity with the peanut so intimate, indeed, that we have not for years addressed it by its proper name Tuberum Bun turn Bulbocxista mkw, but have appliea trliir vari ety's sake, such familiar and endear ing names as goober, grtundpea, earth nut and the like. r- 1 i- . .

But truth, which is mighty and will prevail, impels us to this re cital of the events of a night. We that is to say, the particular "weM who sits iu solid phalanx and writes the Postscripts column we have been ad dicted to sleeplessness. Why, once when we were in the midst of an epi demic of courting, we remem ber, we lost so much sleep that our parents noticed it. But that is neither hero nor there. What we wish to have understood now is that we do not always go to sleep when we make ready to do so It was, therefore, with- a feeling of deep gratitude to the Rev.. Theodore B. Lyman, Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina,. that we read his. interesting letter recently published in the Raleigh News-Observer, recommending peanuts and milk, taken just before going to bed, as a sure cure for sleeplessness. We have not the honor and pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Bishop Lyman, but, from certain tests we have recently made, we have learned to re gard him as a man of overwhelming, not to say dangerous, veracity. The peanuts and milk did cure our sleep-1 essness. e had devoured only the first quart of peanuts and imbibed only one pitchet of milk when we found ourself, not in bed, where we had left - ourself, but standing in the midst of a crowd on the under side ot the moon, . 1 1 1 j with our neaa waiKing arouua on ai -1 other man s shoulders, ihis was very tttractive, but not precisely the situa- tion we should have nominated ourself to fill if we had been consulted, then we had a variety of experiences, tor instance, we walked off the edge of the world, and went dropping through space, till we broke into pieces as a mud ball dropped from precip es does, and each piece became a separate dream, and each dream a mass-meeting of hor- rors. Ihis sort of thing went on from worse than anything to worse than that until morning. When we W l awoke we found ourself all tangled up in something about the color or V lr . 1 1 1 1 TT giuia clay. Uu uncoiling it aud fol lowing it up to its source we found it to be our breath. As soon as we could reach the shears and cut it off we said something about peanuts and milk, something that our sense of propriety, if nothing else, would keep us from saying in the presence of Bishop Ly- man. And now, since we have prov- ed to ourself that the worthy Bishop really found a cure for insomnia, we are devoting ourself tirelessly to insomnia as a possible preventive of peanuts and milk. We are afraid to go to sleep lest some more peanuts and milk catch us unawares. Wanamaxer't Sunday School. Prof. II. B. UcClellan, in Christian Observer. I reached the Bethany Sabbath school twenty minutes before tne ap pointed time for opening, and found the large building so full that stand mg room only could be asssigned to visitors. Indeed, the first impression one receives, is that the building is in tended for the workers for the pupils and teachers who fill almost the en tire structure.

The world hits seen iti iron ape. its stone age, its golden age, and its br.u eu age. This is the age of paper. We are making so m.iuy things of paper that it will soon be true that without paper there is nothing (made that is made. We live in paper houses, wear paper clothing, and wt on paper cush ions in paper cars, rolling on paper wheels. We do a paper business over paper counters, buying-paper goods, paying for them with naner monev or charging them up iu paper books, and aeai in paper stocks, on papenmargins. We run races in paper 'boats for paper prizes. We go to paper theaters where paper actors play to paper audiences. We elect paper men with paper votes on a paper issue to represent a paper constituency in a paper Congress and make paper laws. As the age develops, tot;. coining Juan .will become-uuxai aeepiy enmeshed in the paper net. He will awake in tne morning and creep from under the paper clothing on his paper bed, and put on his paper dressing-gown and paper slippers. He will walk over paper carpets down' paper stairs, and .seating himself in a paper chair, read the paper; news in the morning paper. A paper -bell will call him to his breakfast, cooked in a fjaper oven, served on paper dishes, aid on a paper cloth on a paper table. He will wipe lii lips with a paper nap kin, and having put on his paper shoes, paper hat and paper coat aud taken his paper cane, be will walk on u .paper pavement or ride on it paper carriage to his paper office. He will organize paper eiiterprizes and make paper profits. He will go to Europe on paper steamships and navigate the air in pa per balloons. He will smoke paper to- oacco in a paper pipe, lighted with a paper match. He will write with a paper pencil, whittle paper sticks with a paper knife, go fishing with a paper fishing-rod, a paper line and a paper hoop, aud put his catch iu a paper basket, He will go shooting with a paper gun, loaded with paper cartnd- ges and will defend his country in paper forts with paper cannon and paper bombs. Having lived his ptiper life and achieved a paper fame and paper weaitn, ne win retire to paper leisure aud die in paper peace. There will be a paper funeral, at whioh the I . mourners, dressed in paper crape, will wipe their eves with paper handker I I fl 1 !! II cuiers, and a paper preacher win preach a paper sermon in a paper ptupit ironi a paper text. He will lie in a paper l coffin wrapped in a paper, shroud, his j name will be engraved on a paper plate, and a paper hearse, adorned with paper plumes, will carry him to a pa j per-lined grave, over which will be raised a paper monument. The papers I will record his paper virtues, while pa per angels with paper wings will clothe him in a paper robe and waft his paper spirit from this paper world 1 to the. paper gates of a paper paradise, where all is paper, and fire-proof at I SI that. taper World. Piety and Boodle Incompatible. There is no one who holds good men in higher reverence than we do. We honor the true men of liod who live holy, who glorify their Heavenly Fa ther and iifustrate true religion and pietv by attending to the Divine in- junction "to visit the fatherless and . . . w . . .... widows in their affliction aud to keep himself unspotted from the world" So I when the Star jeers or laughs at such I men as Wanamaker, who are held up as patterns of piety, it is because they prof sine the very name of religion by their conduct as politicians. When men protessmg uoa-iiKeness goau- ness become political profligates it is high time that' all newspapers that reverence religion should denounce the profaners of the pure religion of the Immaculate One. Pharisaism drew from the Master the most pointed and caustic and withering denunciations, It is simply impossible that a corrupt politician a big Boodler 9houId be a sincere ana genuine vyansuan. ue has stolen the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in.

States villc Landmark. The Dude is a small an i mil found in various parts of America, England and t ranee. They generally make their haunts in large cities and towns, but sometimes are seen hopping around in small villages. They are quite harmless, but a great nuisance. Peo ple no doubt would exterminate them as fast lis they appear but for the ex istence of a game law. iOwing to the light diet eaten by them, which consults of ice cream, lemonade and chewing gum, they hardly ever grow very large or live to be old. They sometimes grow to a height of six feet and weigh from 00 to 140 pounds. Darwin's theory that man was evolved from the lower ani mals and that all mankind will finally become monkey 8 or 'possums again tefore the enf of "lime, seem? to be partly verified, for the Dude is or has at some liaie in the past been a branch of the vine of the human family. If the evolution continues downward an other step or two Darwin's doctrine, though laughed at now, will in the misty future become a fact to be cher ished by coming generations in both prose and poetry. Though the Dude exhibit a higher degree of intelligence than most of the lower animals, yet hardly more than the horse or ele phant. Though bearing a closer re semblance to human beings than the monkey, his language is almost as difficult to interpret. The monkey chatters away rapidly, not regarding the rules f grammar; the Dude in a lazy, drawling maimer equally ungrammatical. Here is about his style: "Well, old fellah, thawt news is werry distwessing, ah! dwead f ally so." "Yon have my sympathy, old fellah. Those horwid tailahs cawn't cut our clothes so as not to have winkles in them." "It makes a fellah feel like he was wuined if his twousers don't fit corwectly, bah Jove it does." "Naw, hang he if I'd weali. them down stweet with a winkle, a horwid winkle in them; it would wuin my weputation, my dealt boy." I he female dudes have large humps on tlieir back which oisngure mem frightfully, but otherwise they are usually very beautiful creatures. As their habits are indolent they seldom live to be old. They often paint their faces and put on a peculiar white pow- lttLl which renders them very qnoer looking, especially if the weather is warm. These pretty little creatures are quite timid aud have been known to faint at the sight ot a mouse, but n greatly vexed they will sometimes at tack a man in such a vehement man ner that he will be compelled to seek safety in flight. Yours faithfully, Hen harxek. Flexible Stone. There lay this morning on the desk of Mr. Samuel Hodgkins, acting chief clerk of the War Department, a stone wrapped in brown paper. It weighed about a pound, and was perhaps 18 inches in length, V in width and one- third of the stone was hue and present ed no evidence of stratification, and was smooth over the entire surface A knife blade made no impression on the particles. There . w;ts no doubt as to its being a genuine stone, but it neverthelesspossesed the nexiblity ol a piece of India rubber. When taken " ". .. ..... in the hand and shaken in the direct ion of its flat surfaces it would bend and forth with a dull, muffled 80ima The movement was more of a laxity'iu the adhesion apparently than an elasticity. When held horizontally by one end the other would drop and Tem.Au 'm that position. With the f rn .nda sunnorted on rests, the free centre could be pressed half an inch felon the middle line. With one end i i j rmiv ou the dfsk the other could be bent upward over an inch. The movement was not confined to the one ' , i mi direction in the plane of the flat sur faces but the entire stone seemed to be constructed on the principle of. an unusual joint, with a movement in all directions under pressure. It came from a mountain in ortn Carolina, and bears the name of "ttex- ihl s:iud stone.

Thi mineral is iu the shape of quadratic prisms , and pyramids, light brown to black in col or, and averaging about one fourth of an inch in diameter. -The mine re ferred to is on Green river, in Hender son county, and during the past suni- ' i Ai mer as many, as men were ens ployed in the mines. . .' : The crystals are found scattered hrough sand and gravel beds many eet in depth, and are obtained in" a . manner precisely like placer-mining or gold. The earth is thrown inter ong troughs or rockers, and vibrated ram side to side, while a sluice ot wa ter passes through the apparatus.' . The zircon, being quite heavy, falls to the bottom, and is retained bv the "nties- or cleats across the bottom.

'-, If a soldier is wounded his behavior depends on the manner iu which he is i f i t m a wounded ana whether ne is ox a quiet or excitable temper. Flesh wounds rt- - ceived in action are in many cases not felt at all, until the blood cornea, and the man gets exhausted. When the " bone is struck is felt and accompan ied by acute pain. I have seen poor fellows struck in the breast by mime balls remain in action for minute . then sinking on theia knees or falling on their faces. Not all such severe wounds are mortal, Sergeant True p the Twelfth Missouri received a bail which went right through both tern p4es,-and he li veil for years afterward; a soldier who was shot through the left lung lived for a whole yef;Gen. Shields wa shot through his breast in Mexico ond reached an advanced age. The worst hits are of course those by canister and round shot aud are most ly mortal. They take off arms or legs. or the head of a man, as was the case wilh the Captain of a Southern bat ; tery in the battle of Pea nidge, Splinters of shells are less dangerous. . but when thrown into groups anacol- amns may disable many men,- A sin- . gle shell from a Paixhan gun sent from Ti i. rv If i 1 ti : mv presence, to Bolivar Heights against a group of southern hor&emeu Killing itenerai jewis ana wuunueu or killed nineteen of his companions.
