Timhouse committee on post
offices and post roads have re-
ported a bill which if carried
into effect will tend to abridge
the functions of the dead letter
office and do away with much
red tape. The cemmitte adopt-
ed the report unanimously.
Tinkering with the finances
is at this time entirely out of
place the country generally is
in a prosperous condition mon-
ey is abundant and cheap; com-
mercial and manufacturing in-
dustries are flourishing. It
would be much better to let well
enough alone.
The house committee on In-

It is said the republican lead-
ers in New York are gravely
discussing the scheme ofme-
powering the legislature to cast
the electoral vote of the state
which they could do having
both the legislative and execu-
tive poA-er. The republicans
are tricky and unscrupulous
and may should emergency re-
quire it play this trick.
A vote was taken at the New
York produce exchange on the
cental system. The whole num-
ber of votes was 1273 of which
668 were in favor of retaining
and 605 against being retained.
The cental system possesses
many advantages over the pres-
cst plan of selling grain by the
bushel and will sooner or later
be adopted all over the country.
It has been in use in California
for many years.

American ti. English Female Beady.
Xoith American Review.
While the beanty of ihcEnglnJi girl may
endure longer than that of her American
sister yet American beauty has this sover-
eign advantage that it best bears dose
observation. The English beauty appears
best at a distance and grow s homely as u e
approach her; the typical American beauty
appears more atiractn e neat at hand; in
her case rearness brings enchantment.
The American face bears the microscope
mainly by reason of its delicacy fineness
and nobility of expression qualities that
arc only appreciate on nearness of inspec-
tion. The ruddiness or freshness the
health suggesting and health sustaining face
of the English girl seems incomparable
when partially veiled or when a few rod
away; but as she comes nearer these ex-
celling characteristics retreat behind the ir-
regularities of the skin the thickness of the
lips the size of the nose and the observer
is rnildlv stunned by the disappointment at
not finding the humble and automatic play
of emotion in the eyes and features without
which female beauty must alwajs fall be-
low the line 'of supreme authority. The
English beauties of national and internat-
ional fame at whose feet the empire of
Great Britain is now kneeling are of the
American type and in this country they
would be held simply as of average rather
than exceptional excellence.
It w ere w ell if these tw o extremes could
be united; an American beauty slowly ap-
proaching an English beauty slowly van-
ishing present together a picture of human
beauty the fairest that could fall on mortal
h vision. An American lady who unites the
American qualities of intellect of manners
and of physique and who at one period
lived for years in English territory com-
presses it all in one sentence: "The En-
glish face is molded the American U chis-
eled." ..I.
Discipline for tn Boyi.
Tens of thourands of boys and girls too
in the Southern States are growing up
without education with hardly any desci-
pline or training of any sort. Parents do
not seem to realize the extent of the dark-
ofthe future into which these bookless
tradcless unenlightened multitudes are
drifting. Give them such schools and such
teechers as they need and the most of
them might become useful citizens many
of them become great lights in the State
and the glory of the country. Here ar e the
raw materials for the best of farmers and
horticulturists skillful citizens civil engin-
eers enterprising businers men teachers
scholars editors divines statesmen ora-
tors and among these-1 illiterate girls are
the materials for useful and accomplished
members of society now like gems in the
ocean or treasures in the mountains that
the world knows nothing about. Self-sus--taming
industrial schools may and should
be organized to reach these young people.
It is useless to say that nothing can be
done. Everything almost is possible with
those who desire to elevate their race and
will work for it. The labor and ambition
of thousands of these young people would
pay the active expense of a complete in-
dustrial and good English education if the
people would take hold of it in earnest
and open the way. If we wish to make a
prosperous and happy nation w c rausi be-
gin with the boys and train them properly.
Mult tudes of these young people are like
the rich wild lands of this state they need
eood cultivation and without it like the
wastelands they will be useless to their
State and country Train up the boys in
the w ay they should go nothing else w ill
do.
Bralai not Xcmtera Bole.
Colman'a Itural World.
The farmers of the United States are more
than half our entire population. The co-
nundrum is whether they should have any
voice in the government and legislation!
That they have not had is patent to every
one. How long will they be deprived of it?
When will they assert their power! They
must bear in mind that it is not numbers
that rule now but it is brains. Join brains
and numbers and they are irresistible.
Farmers must develop brains as well as
land and stock. They must read and
think and talk and write and qualify
themselves to take an active part in public
affairs and meet men in other professions
on the same ground and neither ask nor
give quarter. With right on their side
backed by numbers and with eaual ability.
they will be invincible. They can repeal
onnoxions laws. Theycan enact lust laws.
They can see that injustice is done to no
class or section. They carsay to self-styled
political leaders stand back. We" will
choose leaders from our own ranks w e se-
lect men in whom we have faith who are
identified with us in interest and upon
whom we can rely. The real point then is
intelligence to learn our rights and to de-
velop the ability and the firmness to as-
n ana maintain menu I he trouble is
farmers have to do too muwork in the
fields and too little rostrum and on the
hustings. They have got the farmers
down and they arc going to keep them
down. They nave never had the con-
Uolling voice in legislation. If all fann-
ers would cultivate their brains with half
the care they do their fields there would be
some hope of a change.

Amber Sngtr Cane.
Missouri Bepnbllcan.
There was recently shinned from Trvsf.il
Lake Ilk a car lead of sugar made from
amber cane. This was to be followed by
another in a few days making not far from
twenty tons as the result of the farst expe-
riment in sugar-making in that locality.
The product is described as being 'light in
color with a delicate orange tint. It had
also a peculiar luster and the grain was
bright and sparkling." The gentleman
who visited the factory reports "that the
proprietor of the hotel went to his storeroom
and brought out a fair sample of yellow 4C
coffee sugar and the two were compared
side by side. The odds were found to be
greatly in favor of amber sugar. It was
much lighter and brighter and beside it tl e
yellow C looked dark dingy gummy
and lusterless." Gen. Le Due who has
just visited the factory and from whom the
information relative to the shipment has
been gained says that the proprietors
inform him that there is so much entusiasm
among farmers regarding this new indus-
try that there will be 10000 acres of the
early amber cane planted in that locality
next year." The factory is well pro ided
with every essential for making sugar the
same as the refinery at Faribault aud will
next ytar it is thought be running so
ing so
of su-
smootmy as to "nun out a car load
gar every tw o days.
Fem&ls Accomplishment!.
How much in modem education says an
exchange is calculated if not intended
rather to prepare our females to dazzle in
the circle of fashion and the gay party
than to shine in the retirement of home?
To polish the exterior bv what are called
accomplishments seems to be more the
object than to give a solid substratum of
piUy intelligence good sense and social
virtue. Never was a subject les under-
stood than education. To store the mem-
ory with facts or to cultivate the taste for
music singing drawing languages and
needle work is the ultimatum with many.
The use of the intellect in the way of deep
reflection sound judgment accurate dis-
crimination is not taught as it should be;
while the direction of the will the cultiva-
tion of the heart and the formation of the
character are lamentably neglected. We
ask not the sacrifice of anything that can
add giace elegance and ornament to the
feminine character but we do want incor-
porated with this more of w hat is mascu-
line in knowledge and vLdom.
Honis Edncatioa.
The domestic fireside is a seminary of
infinite importance. It is important be-
cause it is universal and because the edu
cation it bestows being woven in with the
woof of childhood gives color and form to
the whole texture of life. There arc few
who can receive the honors of a "college
but alt are graduates of the heart. The
learnings ofthe university may fade from
recollection; its classic lore may moulder
in the hall of memory but simple lessons
ol home enameled upon the heart of child-
hood defy the rust ot j ears and outlive the
more mature but less vivid pictures of .ifter
days. So deep so lasting are the impres-
sions of early life thatjou often see a man
in the imbecility of age holding fresh in his
recollection the events of childhood while
all the wide space between that and the
present hour is a forgotten waste.

"Is he rich!" asked tie tourist. "Yes"

To be always intending to live a new

as if a man should put off eating and

Worth the Charm.
Young men are mistaken when they think
good looks their principle lccommendation
to w omen. A woman admires ahandsome
man for a time but it needs something
more than a good-looking face to retain
this feeling. A woman is as a geneial
rule more strongly drawn by the intellec-
tual qualities of the opposite sex than any-
thing else. Dr. Johnson Goldsmith Cur-
ran and Shield were all very plain; but they
possesed the charm of genius which irre-
ststably attracts the noble qualities of wo-
men. What is above is also true of the
gentler sex. A man frequently says of
some belle: "Yes she's very beautiful;
but I thank heaven she isn't my wife!"
Women like to be admired for thar loveli-
ness and we do not blame them for it; but
it requires something more than beauty to
retain their influence over men.
Retutation and Character. Repu-
tation and character are two things
which must never be conlounded. The
one is eternaL The on"J is determined by
what other people say of us; the other is
our inmost and real self. The one may
vary with the caprices of the people; the
other remains unaffected by the breath of
applause or the mask of hypocrisy. Some-
times a man from certain circumstances
may have a very good reputation though
his character is radically bad and there
have been cases in which the noblest men
in point of character have been just because
they were acting out their principle in very
poor repute.

.Co -Op oration.
Any man who fancies that he
alone possesses the best method
of cultivation or of manufac-
ture needs to listen to and learn
from those who have had prac-
tice and experience in kindred
subjects. It will be found that
no man monopolzes the knowl-
edge on any subject and that
each inquiring mind may learn
from another engaged in a sim-
ilar direction. Grange and Club
meeting are all-important aiHs
to the diffusion of valuable in-
formation. No farmer's duty is
complete who does not asso-
ciate himself with his neighbors
and fellow workers in local
meetings for conference and
discussion for comparisons of
methods and systematic plan-
ning of future action and re-
sults. "
Soedless Oranges.
New Orleauj Democrat.
Seedless raisins have been
long known but seedless oran-
ges are something of a novelty
in this locality at least. We
have received a few beautiful
specimens of this peculiar and
certainly desirable variety of
orange from Major Austin W.
Roundtree. Their flavor is very
delicate and delicious and it is
claimed for them that they keep
much longer than any other or-
ange known. Most of them are
entirely devoid of seed and
Major Roundtree informs us
that it often happens that there
is not more than one seed found
in two or three hundred of this
fruit. This variety was procur-
ed originally from the imperial
botanical garden at Rio Janeiro
and was taken to Florida where
it was found to thrive and from
whence the present trees on
Major Roundtrce's place over
the river opposite Carroll were
obtained. They have proved
to be excellently well adapted
to our climate and being very
prolific we suspect they will
soon be largely substituted for
the varieties now raised by
those who cultivate this golden
and luscious fruit.
