rug sy x m ry (DS. COMator’. Ae Lit The Daily Transcript. PRIDAY, MAROH 23, 1888. ¥ A Land Man's Invention. A. Nivens, the real estate dealer, has purchased himself a speedy pavitg roadster and a vehicle witb which to take his customers around the Bartlett pear belt. The cart is of his own invention and was manufactured at Seaman’s carriage shop under’ Mr. Nivens’ direction. It weighs but 125 pounds. It is constructed strictly according to the laws of compensation, and consequently rides as easily as the average four-wheeled buggy. The horse’s motion is not imparted to it, it retains its balance on hilly roads, and in passing over rough spots the mechanism is so arranged that the jolting common to most two-wheeled rigs is in a great measure counteracted. The reporter had a ride in it yesterday morning, atid he pronounces it a success. Several other citizens here and at Grass Valley are so well pleased with the qualities of the vehicle that they have determined to get similar ones. ~Oo Two Accidents at the Dethi. ‘Day before yesterday Thomas Grif__fen, an employe at the De.hi mine, cut one of his feet quite severely with a pick. a That night D. H. Holland, working in the same mine, had his right foot badly jammed by.an immense quartz boulder falling from the hanging upon it. The great .toe was. mashed and broken. His foot.was at the time resting upon a timber, and after the accident the imprint of the nails in the sole of the boot were to be seen in the wood, so great was the pressure on the foot. Mr. Holland accompanied by his brother, D. E., came to the county seat yesterday fur surgical treatment. é A Silly “Joke.” blight before last unknown parties with a poor idea of what constitutes fun put up yellow flags about a foot and @ half square at'a number of places around town. Yesterday morning they were found in front of B. H. Miller’s residence on Broad street, Miss Jane Swift’s on Sacramento street, Wm. Walters’ on Coyote street, Fogeli’s brewery, and at a saloon on Broad street. They were carefully hemmed and of new cloth. Inquiries made at stores about town yesterday fail to show where the cloth was purchased. It is generaliy thought that hoodlums were the perpetrators of the nonsense. _ Bond Filed. The bond of Patrick Henry as guardian of the estate and person of his father-in-law, Elle Ellen, was filed yesterday and approved ty Judge Walling. It is for the sum of $20,000, the sureties qualifying as follows: 8. Mal ag ¢10. 100, Ml n~n-— Diicbae dere $5,000, Geo. W. Richardson $5,000, D. B. Towner $2,500, J. W. Williams $2,500, John F.

Wm. Angwin, pastor of the Methodist Church, presided. The Grass Valley Glee Club'consisting of the following ladies and gentlemen furnished music: Miss Laura Morcom, Mrs. Carkeek, Miss Cora Lord, Miss Clara George, Messrs. W. Mewton, Wm. Carlyon and Richard Davey and Master Frankie Argall. James Frazer, a well-known ‘local Prohibitionist, was on the platform, as was also Nicholas Morcom, leader of the Prohibition movement at Grass Valley. The Glee Club sang, Mr. Angwin prayed, there was another song, and then Mr. Mills was introduced. He is a diminutive man in stature and by no means prepossesging in appearance But he is boiling over with animation, speaks rapidly and logically, and at times becomes really eloquent. He has no trouble in keeping a mixed audience interested, even though tha audience disagrees with him. Mr. Angwin called him “the Little Giant’ in introducing him. Mr. Mills in opening his remarks explained that he was called ‘‘Little’’ because of lack of hight and ‘‘Giant”’ because of the size of bis feet and mouth. *Tonight,’’ said he, ‘‘I will answer the question as to whether the country requires a new political party by telling you why it does.” ‘*What is more,’’ he said, ‘‘we propose to keep up this agitation until there is a final settlement of this question along the line of our desires, and until the political parties as they exist to-day are broken to pieces, and out of the pieces two new parties arranged: one, on the side of vice, depravity and the grog shops, the other voicing the aspirations of the American people who have no representation at all today.” He yointed out the evils of the present large immigraiion of foreigners, and said they are apparently the exponents of the liquor progress and uphold its interests on all occasions. The people of New England and the East are spreading out and casting their leavening influences over the country but the people of Ireland, Scotland, England, Spain and Germany are coming in much more rapidly than they are going West from New England, eo that by the end of the nineteenth century there will be 43,900,000 foreigners in this country. He maintained that this incoming flood is the element of great danger to the welfare of the nation—not that he would attack the intelligence of these individualg at all, ae whatever the general knowledge of these people, they come to usignorant of our institutions, careless of their histury and associations and without that patriotic love so dear to the heart of every true American. He told a story of a wrecked ship drifting about in astorm. The craw have a quarrel and finally but two of them are left. They grapple and go overboard into the sea. The passengers are allon board. But they know nothing about handling the ship. They are not familiar with the compass, do not understand the rudder, have no knowledge of the machinery. Suppose all these passengers are editors, and editors are not-only men of judgement and greatest ability, but are supposed to know considerable; suppose they are all lawyers smart as steel and who never told a lie; or suppose they are preachers or teachers or Sunday school superintendents? What are they todo? They are a dangerous crew to mah a ship because they do:’t understand it. And so these peoplé from other lands do not understand running our ship or State, he continued. Yet we place the ballot box in their hands, give them power in the election and enable the grog shop vote to govern the nation. With 43,000,000 such people in the country and the raider in their hands, surely the American ship of State is in a dangerous condition. But it is true; the municipal Governments of this country are ruled by the worst-set of political scoundrels _imaginable. “The city of New York puts men on its Bodrd of Aldermen before the hair of those who have been in penitentiary has grown out; Philadelphia, before those belonging there can getin; St. Louis and Cincinnati-are no better; San Francisco is wor-e, and Chicago is at the bottom of the whole list.‘ The floating vote is located without mistake in the criminal classes, where ignorance and vice predominate, and it only rests with the party which buys the most votes to see which one is successful. What makes a State go Democratic? Because it buys up the criminal votes. What is the difference in the city when it goes one way or the other? None. What is politics? A vicious, dirty pool. Shall decent people asszociate with such parties? No; but they will have to unless a new party is formed. When a child I learmed that Ohio was in the United States,. but when I grew to be a man and put away childish things, I found out that the United States Was in Ohio; that is, Ohio ruled the United States. New York bas the President. New York and Ohio have written every platform, nominated every candidate, elected every President, man.ged every election for the last twelve years, and those two States are managed by men who are only in politics correctest morals and most careful . Now it has moved to New York, and. for what they can make out ‘of it. Sectionalism, prevails and the best men in the nation are fighting tooth and toe-nail against each other, while the unscrupulous and unpatriotic stand tetween and defeat the purpose of the other two. Why don’t the Democratic party send more men to the penitentiary? Because more men ought to go to the penitentiary, and if their party started to put them there a row would occur down to the tag end of the Democratic party. Our party will be able to send men there because the men: who ought to go there will be in the "opposite party, and will be interested in getting them out of thie way. Mr. Mills discussed all the leading questions of the day in his usual way, interspersed with anecdote and allegory. HERE AND THERE. A Brief Record of Varioue Matters of Loca/ Interest.

We. have Her fragrance preceded her as she came, and she is here, and we are all damsel, Spring; she who carries a burden of flowers in one hand and a burden of spring fever in the other, and lavishly dispenses beth where they will do the most good chapparal is in. bloom; and its fragrance makes the air heavy, drowsy and full of dreaminess. This is the panacea for overworked nerves, and aday in the woods now is worth a -week anywhere else. But I will not pursue the subject; tt is too old. Even gentle spring with her abundance of all that is beautiful may be pursued until she becomes ghastly, and has a smack of old_bones and u.usty ‘‘chesnuttiness” about her. But before forsaking this subject I would like to inquire what has become of the usual army of spring poets? In March sentimental young folks and unsentimentsl bares are supposed to go mad, and there is a general rumpus in the ranks of both. But this seems to be an “off’ year with the poets. This month has, in the past, been r.ther tiresome to me, because so many spring poets would bring their efforts to me for confidential criticism before being sent to appreciative editors. But so far there has not been an effort ‘of this kind made in my vicinity. The factis, poetry is losing its prestige in this country. People are taking more stock in prose and Bartlett pears, “One cannot felp noticing that there ure a great many writing for the papers at the present time. Every issue of the county papers. contains one or more communications, and they are written by those who have something to say and know how to say it, but they are almost. invariably written over a nom de plume, such as ‘Rex,’ ‘‘Citizen,’”” ‘‘Tax payer” ‘Mother,’ ‘‘Father,’”’ etc., etc., etc. Now, I have often wondered why people should sign themselves *“*Citizen,’’. ‘‘Father’’ and ‘‘Mother,”’ when they have written something worthy of publication. When they have reason to believe that their communications might create a rumpus it is well enough to use a nom de plume, but ordinarily the writers would do more good to themselves and their readers if they would sign their names in full. It gives a letter or an opinion more weight and solidity ,.and the good effect isin proportion. Many people who are omnivorous readers ne take much interest ‘in letters bearing nom de plumes; they arealways wondering whether it was really a communication or gotten up by the editor himself. And what isthe u e of writing overan Why not sign one’s name in full, and get the credit of being its author, of knowing something, and of having an opinion? There are many of these writers who sign themselves. ‘‘Citizen’’ who are always calling the attention of their friends to their letters in the home papers, and bore them to death almost by trying to worry a compliment out of them, whereas, if they had signed their names, their letters would have been read by more people, received more of tie public attention, and raised the writer a notch or two in the opinion of the people, Perhaps itis modesty which governs the writer with a nom de plume. If it is modesty it is not the sort of modésty which carries weight and does gooj in these hustling times of land values and booms. The nom de plume writer of today will never rise to eminence through his or her writings. The time in which such things occurred is past, and nobody will ever waste time and energy searching for the writer who uses a nom, de plume unless he wants to make @ target of him and fill him full of holes so that he will never write any more. Those who sign their mes to their communications virtuconvictions, that they possess knowledge and are not mere machines. They do not forget that by tooting their own horn openly they may accomplish something. Isn’t it rather strange, when you come to think of it, that home products are not.well thought of by the people? Itis a curious phase of human nature that that which is the result of home study and home work must find a market away from home and among stratigera, and he who should receive a just reward for perseverance and industry generally finds that he is rated at fourth class at home. This is especially the case with men who have talent and genius. They are nobodies, or little better than nobodies, athome. Their friends say : “Why, knewhim when he played hookey and stole apples; he wou’t amount to much.’’ And they refuse to. acknowledge that he has any talent for anything more than what he did when he was a boy, orat best he only rises to a sort of fatherly position wh +n his grandsons are beginning to learn how to chew tobacco and_swear like pirates. But let him go away from home; away from his friends and into the midst of strangers, and he will, if he has any grain of seuse and a@ particle of industry, and understands buman nature, rise to. the emérgengencies of chance, and steadily climb into prosperity. He may have the pleasure of being sent to Congress, whereas, but had he remained among his friends, he would have been plain John Smith to the end of the chapter. Cases of this kind are not rare. Within the last year several The } friends. the matter nde plu ar Reiss Oy Oren ene Moe > reputations ‘were idle for monthe at their homes in Nevada City. They had hostsof friends, but their friends last, for ‘‘greener fields and pastures new,’’they wentaway among strangers and now they are all at work and doing well. Strangers are always been born and bred in any community. A prominent artist relates that study and fitted himself thoroughly for his profession he returned to his old home, and while there solicited orders for enlarged photo’s from his: old One of them, thé wealthiest of all, in reply to his request for an order, said;:'‘O, yes; I remember when you were alittle tad, and.drew pictures. I would give you an order, but, you see, when Ihave a picture made I want the work done by a good artist!’ And so itgoes. Home talent is despised, and foreign talent is sought for, flattered, petted and made much of. Everybody knows that young men rarely marry girls whom they have known all their lives, and vice versa. It isthe stranger who governs the matrimonial market here. And yet one would think that this knowledge of each other’s habits, and dispositions, would enable them to form happier unions, but it is not so. ‘‘Familiaritv breeds: contempt.” It is the inevitable law of nature, I suppose, which enables us to rob Peter to pay Paul and then keep away from Paul. T have long wished for an opportunity to speak upon a rather delicate subject, but the chance I desired has never occurred, and it is with much doubt as to what the effect will be if 1 mention itnow. It isa subject, which, I think, has never been discussed, and it may togch.many very worthy people in atender place, but he who would accomplish a desirable work and arrive at a good result must be content to bear the condemnation and the: anger of those whom he-offands, and I thirk even I may be forgiven for having an opinion in the matter o! graveyard decorations. I Bay graveyard deeorations, but graveyard malformations, would be more appropriate. One has only to walk through almost any graveyard to see that which offends the lover of good taste, in the shape of old cans, broken crockery, buckets and ruined vases, filled with dirt and decayed and dvcaying vines and flowers, Old oyster cans, with the dirty, rusty, ragged labels hanging down their sides,rusty, battered lard cans, broken pitchers and sugar bowls, stand and lie around the graves where they havebeen placed by loving but careless friends and relatives. They are not beautiful objects. They give the silent cities o! the dead a slovenly shabbiness when they should look clean, cool and restful, just as the vile spittoons detract the National Capitol. ith a whastly sarc eer at the kindest 1iving perform for their beloved dead. Old cans, covered with dirty paper and lying confusedly about, are suggestive of only cold andclammy things, yawling cats and pattering drops of rain. And, again, one can fancy Mrs. Doodleboy carrying a rosebush to place over her baby’s grave, and borrowing a can for that purpose from the grave of the hushand of Mrs. Hagglesby, who will never miss it. This is what makes this subject delicate, and . will not pursue it further, but I do hope that when-L-am dead and buried. nob dy will place a row of ghastly oyster cans and sugar bowls over the head of my lastcradle. I would rather sleepin a grave wholly unadorned, « A. V. Horrman, EEE Death a Welcome Release. Must it not be to those who endure life long bodily suffering? From childhood: to old age many persons are tormented with rheumatism and neuralyia” Ordinary medication and topical remedies are of slight, and always of temporary efficacy.

Nivens, the real estate dealer, has purchased himself a speedy pavitg roadster and a vehicle witb which to take his customers around the Bartlett pear belt. The cart is of his own invention and was manufactured at Seaman’s carriage shop under’ Mr. Nivens’ direction. It weighs but 125 pounds. It is constructed strictly according to the laws of compensation, and consequently rides as easily as the average four-wheeled buggy. The horse’s motion is not imparted to it, it retains its balance on hilly roads, and in passing over rough spots the mechanism is so arranged that the jolting common to most two-wheeled rigs is in a great measure counteracted. The reporter had a ride in it yesterday morning, atid he pronounces it a success. Several other citizens here and at Grass Valley are so well pleased with the qualities of the vehicle that they have determined to get similar ones. ~Oo Two Accidents at the Dethi. ‘Day before yesterday Thomas Grif__fen, an employe at the De.hi mine, cut one of his feet quite severely with a pick. a That night D. H. Holland, working in the same mine, had his right foot badly jammed by.an immense quartz boulder falling from the hanging upon it. The great .toe was. mashed and broken. His foot.was at the time resting upon a timber, and after the accident the imprint of the nails in the sole of the boot were to be seen in the wood, so great was the pressure on the foot. Mr. Holland accompanied by his brother, D. E., came to the county seat yesterday fur surgical treatment. é A Silly “Joke.” blight before last unknown parties with a poor idea of what constitutes fun put up yellow flags about a foot and @ half square at'a number of places around town. Yesterday morning they were found in front of B. H. Miller’s residence on Broad street, Miss Jane Swift’s on Sacramento street, Wm. Walters’ on Coyote street, Fogeli’s brewery, and at a saloon on Broad street. They were carefully hemmed and of new cloth. Inquiries made at stores about town yesterday fail to show where the cloth was purchased. It is generaliy thought that hoodlums were the perpetrators of the nonsense. _ Bond Filed. The bond of Patrick Henry as guardian of the estate and person of his father-in-law, Elle Ellen, was filed yesterday and approved ty Judge Walling.

Wm. Angwin, pastor of the Methodist Church, presided. The Grass Valley Glee Club'consisting of the following ladies and gentlemen furnished music: Miss Laura Morcom, Mrs. Carkeek, Miss Cora Lord, Miss Clara George, Messrs. W. Mewton, Wm. Carlyon and Richard Davey and Master Frankie Argall. James Frazer, a well-known ‘local Prohibitionist, was on the platform, as was also Nicholas Morcom, leader of the Prohibition movement at Grass Valley. The Glee Club sang, Mr. Angwin prayed, there was another song, and then Mr. Mills was introduced. He is a diminutive man in stature and by no means prepossesging in appearance But he is boiling over with animation, speaks rapidly and logically, and at times becomes really eloquent. He has no trouble in keeping a mixed audience interested, even though tha audience disagrees with him. Mr. Angwin called him “the Little Giant’ in introducing him. Mr. Mills in opening his remarks explained that he was called ‘‘Little’’ because of lack of hight and ‘‘Giant”’ because of the size of bis feet and mouth. *Tonight,’’ said he, ‘‘I will answer the question as to whether the country requires a new political party by telling you why it does.” ‘*What is more,’’ he said, ‘‘we propose to keep up this agitation until there is a final settlement of this question along the line of our desires, and until the political parties as they exist to-day are broken to pieces, and out of the pieces two new parties arranged: one, on the side of vice, depravity and the grog shops, the other voicing the aspirations of the American people who have no representation at all today.” He yointed out the evils of the present large immigraiion of foreigners, and said they are apparently the exponents of the liquor progress and uphold its interests on all occasions. The people of New England and the East are spreading out and casting their leavening influences over the country but the people of Ireland, Scotland, England, Spain and Germany are coming in much more rapidly than they are going West from New England, eo that by the end of the nineteenth century there will be 43,900,000 foreigners in this country. He maintained that this incoming flood is the element of great danger to the welfare of the nation—not that he would attack the intelligence of these individualg at all, ae whatever the general knowledge of these people, they come to usignorant of our institutions, careless of their histury and associations and without that patriotic love so dear to the heart of every true American. He told a story of a wrecked ship drifting about in astorm. The craw have a quarrel and finally but two of them are left. They grapple and go overboard into the sea. The passengers are allon board. But they know nothing about handling the ship. They are not familiar with the compass, do not understand the rudder, have no knowledge of the machinery. Suppose all these passengers are editors, and editors are not-only men of judgement and greatest ability, but are supposed to know considerable; suppose they are all lawyers smart as steel and who never told a lie; or suppose they are preachers or teachers or Sunday school superintendents? What are they todo? They are a dangerous crew to mah a ship because they do:’t understand it. And so these peoplé from other lands do not understand running our ship or State, he continued. Yet we place the ballot box in their hands, give them power in the election and enable the grog shop vote to govern the nation. With 43,000,000 such people in the country and the raider in their hands, surely the American ship of State is in a dangerous condition. But it is true; the municipal Governments of this country are ruled by the worst-set of political scoundrels _imaginable. “The city of New York puts men on its Bodrd of Aldermen before the hair of those who have been in penitentiary has grown out; Philadelphia, before those belonging there can getin; St. Louis and Cincinnati-are no better; San Francisco is wor-e, and Chicago is at the bottom of the whole list.‘ The floating vote is located without mistake in the criminal classes, where ignorance and vice predominate, and it only rests with the party which buys the most votes to see which one is successful. What makes a State go Democratic? Because it buys up the criminal votes. What is the difference in the city when it goes one way or the other? None. What is politics? A vicious, dirty pool. Shall decent people asszociate with such parties? No; but they will have to unless a new party is formed. When a child I learmed that Ohio was in the United States,. but when I grew to be a man and put away childish things, I found out that the United States Was in Ohio; that is, Ohio ruled the United States. New York bas the President. New York and Ohio have written every platform, nominated every candidate, elected every President, man.ged every election for the last twelve years, and those two States are managed by men who are only in politics correctest morals and most careful . Now it has moved to New York, and. for what they can make out ‘of it. Sectionalism, prevails and the best men in the nation are fighting tooth and toe-nail against each other, while the unscrupulous and unpatriotic stand tetween and defeat the purpose of the other two. Why don’t the Democratic party send more men to the penitentiary? Because more men ought to go to the penitentiary, and if their party started to put them there a row would occur down to the tag end of the Democratic party. Our party will be able to send men there because the men: who ought to go there will be in the "opposite party, and will be interested in getting them out of thie way. Mr. Mills discussed all the leading questions of the day in his usual way, interspersed with anecdote and allegory. HERE AND THERE. A Brief Record of Varioue Matters of Loca/ Interest.

We. have Her fragrance preceded her as she came, and she is here, and we are all damsel, Spring; she who carries a burden of flowers in one hand and a burden of spring fever in the other, and lavishly dispenses beth where they will do the most good chapparal is in. bloom; and its fragrance makes the air heavy, drowsy and full of dreaminess. This is the panacea for overworked nerves, and aday in the woods now is worth a -week anywhere else. But I will not pursue the subject; tt is too old. Even gentle spring with her abundance of all that is beautiful may be pursued until she becomes ghastly, and has a smack of old_bones and u.usty ‘‘chesnuttiness” about her. But before forsaking this subject I would like to inquire what has become of the usual army of spring poets? In March sentimental young folks and unsentimentsl bares are supposed to go mad, and there is a general rumpus in the ranks of both. But this seems to be an “off’ year with the poets. This month has, in the past, been r.ther tiresome to me, because so many spring poets would bring their efforts to me for confidential criticism before being sent to appreciative editors. But so far there has not been an effort ‘of this kind made in my vicinity. The factis, poetry is losing its prestige in this country. People are taking more stock in prose and Bartlett pears, “One cannot felp noticing that there ure a great many writing for the papers at the present time. Every issue of the county papers. contains one or more communications, and they are written by those who have something to say and know how to say it, but they are almost. invariably written over a nom de plume, such as ‘Rex,’ ‘‘Citizen,’”” ‘‘Tax payer” ‘Mother,’ ‘‘Father,’”’ etc., etc., etc. Now, I have often wondered why people should sign themselves *“*Citizen,’’. ‘‘Father’’ and ‘‘Mother,”’ when they have written something worthy of publication. When they have reason to believe that their communications might create a rumpus it is well enough to use a nom de plume, but ordinarily the writers would do more good to themselves and their readers if they would sign their names in full. It gives a letter or an opinion more weight and solidity ,.and the good effect isin proportion. Many people who are omnivorous readers ne take much interest ‘in letters bearing nom de plumes; they arealways wondering whether it was really a communication or gotten up by the editor himself. And what isthe u e of writing overan Why not sign one’s name in full, and get the credit of being its author, of knowing something, and of having an opinion? There are many of these writers who sign themselves. ‘‘Citizen’’ who are always calling the attention of their friends to their letters in the home papers, and bore them to death almost by trying to worry a compliment out of them, whereas, if they had signed their names, their letters would have been read by more people, received more of tie public attention, and raised the writer a notch or two in the opinion of the people, Perhaps itis modesty which governs the writer with a nom de plume. If it is modesty it is not the sort of modésty which carries weight and does gooj in these hustling times of land values and booms. The nom de plume writer of today will never rise to eminence through his or her writings. The time in which such things occurred is past, and nobody will ever waste time and energy searching for the writer who uses a nom, de plume unless he wants to make @ target of him and fill him full of holes so that he will never write any more. Those who sign their mes to their communications virtuconvictions, that they possess knowledge and are not mere machines. They do not forget that by tooting their own horn openly they may accomplish something. Isn’t it rather strange, when you come to think of it, that home products are not.well thought of by the people? Itis a curious phase of human nature that that which is the result of home study and home work must find a market away from home and among stratigera, and he who should receive a just reward for perseverance and industry generally finds that he is rated at fourth class at home. This is especially the case with men who have talent and genius. They are nobodies, or little better than nobodies, athome. Their friends say : “Why, knewhim when he played hookey and stole apples; he wou’t amount to much.’’ And they refuse to. acknowledge that he has any talent for anything more than what he did when he was a boy, orat best he only rises to a sort of fatherly position wh +n his grandsons are beginning to learn how to chew tobacco and_swear like pirates. But let him go away from home; away from his friends and into the midst of strangers, and he will, if he has any grain of seuse and a@ particle of industry, and understands buman nature, rise to. the emérgengencies of chance, and steadily climb into prosperity. He may have the pleasure of being sent to Congress, whereas, but had he remained among his friends, he would have been plain John Smith to the end of the chapter. Cases of this kind are not rare. Within the last year several The } friends. the matter nde plu ar Reiss Oy Oren ene Moe > reputations ‘were idle for monthe at their homes in Nevada City. They had hostsof friends, but their friends last, for ‘‘greener fields and pastures new,’’they wentaway among strangers and now they are all at work and doing well. Strangers are always been born and bred in any community. A prominent artist relates that study and fitted himself thoroughly for his profession he returned to his old home, and while there solicited orders for enlarged photo’s from his: old One of them, thé wealthiest of all, in reply to his request for an order, said;:'‘O, yes; I remember when you were alittle tad, and.drew pictures. I would give you an order, but, you see, when Ihave a picture made I want the work done by a good artist!’ And so itgoes. Home talent is despised, and foreign talent is sought for, flattered, petted and made much of. Everybody knows that young men rarely marry girls whom they have known all their lives, and vice versa. It isthe stranger who governs the matrimonial market here.

And yet one would think that this knowledge of each other’s habits, and dispositions, would enable them to form happier unions, but it is not so. ‘‘Familiaritv breeds: contempt.” It is the inevitable law of nature, I suppose, which enables us to rob Peter to pay Paul and then keep away from Paul. T have long wished for an opportunity to speak upon a rather delicate subject, but the chance I desired has never occurred, and it is with much doubt as to what the effect will be if 1 mention itnow. It isa subject, which, I think, has never been discussed, and it may togch.many very worthy people in atender place, but he who would accomplish a desirable work and arrive at a good result must be content to bear the condemnation and the: anger of those whom he-offands, and I thirk even I may be forgiven for having an opinion in the matter o! graveyard decorations. I Bay graveyard deeorations, but graveyard malformations, would be more appropriate. One has only to walk through almost any graveyard to see that which offends the lover of good taste, in the shape of old cans, broken crockery, buckets and ruined vases, filled with dirt and decayed and dvcaying vines and flowers, Old oyster cans, with the dirty, rusty, ragged labels hanging down their sides,rusty, battered lard cans, broken pitchers and sugar bowls, stand and lie around the graves where they havebeen placed by loving but careless friends and relatives. They are not beautiful objects. They give the silent cities o! the dead a slovenly shabbiness when they should look clean, cool and restful, just as the vile spittoons detract the National Capitol. ith a whastly sarc eer at the kindest 1iving perform for their beloved dead. Old cans, covered with dirty paper and lying confusedly about, are suggestive of only cold andclammy things, yawling cats and pattering drops of rain. And, again, one can fancy Mrs. Doodleboy carrying a rosebush to place over her baby’s grave, and borrowing a can for that purpose from the grave of the hushand of Mrs. Hagglesby, who will never miss it. This is what makes this subject delicate, and . will not pursue it further, but I do hope that when-L-am dead and buried. nob dy will place a row of ghastly oyster cans and sugar bowls over the head of my lastcradle.
