BY AMY RANDOLPH. “Wedding cards, eh?” said Mrs. uments the postman had left on his latest errand. “Oh, dear me—some “Disenchanted, Aunt Lou!” spoke up her pretty niece Mariam, with wide open eyes. “That’s exactly what it amounts to,” said Mrs. Pilot. ‘But, Aunt Lou—” “Yes.” “I thought you were such an ad vocate for matrimony.” “So I used to be.” “You love Uncle Dick, don’t you?” “Of course I do,” said Mrs. Pilot, guiding her scissors _ skilfully through the folds of rose colere flannel which was eventually to b fashioned into # baby’s cloak. “And I'm quite sure he loves you.” “Well, I suppose that he thinks he does.” “Then, what do you mean by the groan you gave when you saw those wedding cards?” “Ah, dear Miriam,” said Mrs. Pi lot, pushing the red-brown curls out of her eyes, “it is so hard to ex plain!” “But, tell me, aunty dear!” coaxed Miriam. “Well, there’s that brown cash- mere gown of mine that Mrs. Stitch- ett sent home this morning. There it lies on the sofa. It’s a love of a thing, the latest color and the most delightful pattern, but I haven’t bad the heart to look at it since Dick took it in. Dick glanced at the bill, and said, in that odd, dry way of his: ‘Sev-en-teen dollars for making adress! My mother always made her own’!” “It's the way all men talk, Aunt Lou,” soothed Miriam. “T stopped yesterday at the bak- er's and brought home a loaf of sponge cake. Dick asked me what it was—and when I told him, he re- marked, gloomily, ‘that nobody ever thought of buying cake when he was a boy’!” “That’s such a trifle, Aunt Lou.” “When I spoke of going out to the ‘Ladies Society,’ this afternoon, he shrugged his shoulders, and ob- saved that, he saw now why I had neither time to bake or sew—it was all going and gadding. Of course, after that, I remained at home!” “Don’t mind him, Aunt Lou,” said the peacemaker. “It’s only dyspep- sia.” i i “There’s another cause for com plaint,” said the wife, laying down the little sleeve-pattern and cutting deftly around it. “I don’t cook things as his mother cooked them! He calls my soup ‘dish-water” and my bread ‘clock-weights!’ Oh, you may laugh, Miriam. So did I, at first—so should I now, if the con- stant fall of these everlasting drops hadn’t worn a deep wound into my heart! I tell you, child, this home is haunted by the ghost of Richard's mother!” “Is she dead, Aunt Lou?” “Not that I know of,” said Mrs. Pilot. “But she haunts me all the same. She lives near Quebec, some- where—and 1 haven't the least doubt she’s a very estimable member of society. Nevertheless, I have a hor- ror of the very mention ofher name. No, Betsey; didn’t I tell you I was not at home this afternoon?” “Yes’m,” said the hoarse-voiced handmaiden: “but this ain’t no call- ing company. She's come wid two thrunks and a bandbox a-top of a cab, mum.” “Don’t make company of me, my dear,” said a cozy, confidential voice; anda portly old lady, with gray curls on each side of her face, trun- dled into the room. “It’s Louisa, isn't it? Kiss me, my dear; I'm Rich- ard’s mother, come to surprise him.” All her life long Mrs. Pilot, junior had entertained a holy horror of mothers-in-law; all tke vears she had been married she had secretly re jjoiced that Quebec Was so many | hundred wiles away from New York: j yet in fifteen minutes she was sob- , | bing heartily, with her head on Mrs. N | Pilot senior’s comfortable black ! bombazine shoulder, and all her lit- | tle troubled secrets were safely con- fided to this mother-confessor. “Yes, yes, dear; I know just how Tr u ST LOUIS, MO. it is,” said mamma Pilot patting R.

Mr. Pilot came home to dinner, promptly, as usual. Mrs. Pilot met him in a quaint merino gown, made perfectly plain without an extra fold or tuck, like an exagerated Quaker- ess. “Hallo, said Dick, stopping to look at her. ‘Why under the cano- py have you made such a guy of yourself?” “It's a cat of the gown your mother used to wear,” said Louisa. | “The style that I can easily make | myself, since you desire me to econ- mize in the matter of dressmakers.” «“Where—on—earth—did you get that thing!” he roared. “Tt came from Quebec.” “Put it in the rag bag,” said Dick, with a gestureof dismay. “Have as many milliners as you want, only don’t have a spectacle like that!” “Tl keep it for Miriam to wear at next month’s Old Folks concert,” laughed Louisa; and she took the dinner off the dumb-water and set it on the table. “Pork and beans!” commented Mr. Pilot. “Do you expect me to eat such greasy stuff as this? Not until I get a new leather lining to my stomach. Beefsteak fried! I never yet had such a thing placed before me inthis house. Doughnuts? Dyspepsia bullets, I should call them! I say, Lou, has your cook gone crazy?” ee “Don’t get excited, Richard!” said Mrs. Pilot. pouring out tea that was | fairly black with long steeping. “This is just the sort of cooking | your mother used to give you—the { sort you are always holding up as a | pattern to me!” “It's no such thing.” shouted | Dick; “somebody's been impesing | cooked this—this | on you!

He was judged and condemned by his own tongue.

From recent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase through- out the western states. The principal cause, it is stated, is due to neglect ot common Coughs and Colds.

The editorial rooms, which are on the second fioor is reached by boats. General anxiety is felt for the two bridges which span the river at this point. The Morrison street wagon is liable to be swept away atany moment and in case this bridge is carried down stream against the steel bridge of the Un- ion Pacific railroad, the tatter is al- most certain to go, as the space be- tween the bridge and the water is not sufficient to pemit any large drift to pass under.

Portland, Ore., Feb. 5.—The pos- tal telegraph company furnishes the following information regarding the unprecedented floods in Oregon and Washington: The Willamette rivér at this city is higher than it has When since the great flood of 1861. The rise is caused by the unusully heavy rains and melting snow on the mountains. All the merchants along the water front have been compelled to sus- pend business and move their stock to higher places. The water rose so rapidly that many of them were unable to move their goods out and in consequence heavy damages will be the result. The only means of travel on Front, street, the principal wholesale street in the city, is by boats. Throughout the Willamette val- ley heavy losses are reported. Many bridges have been washed away and alarge amount of grain stored in the warehouses along the river has been ruined. The wagon bridge across the Willamette river at Salem was swept away Monday night. The structure was about 1,000 feet long It cost in the neighborhood of $75- 000. No less than 10,000,000 logs have been swept away on the Wil- lamette along the Columbia river in the last few days. Large quantities of sawed jumber acd a number of saw mills on the river have been carried away- The situation on the Southern Pa- Youthfal Elopers. Nevada, Mo., Jan. 31.—Upon the acrival of the south-bound M. K. & T. passenger train here at 1:30 p. m. to-day Sheriff White boarded it and arrested 19-year old William Strader and 14-year old Minnie Sutton. The pair were from Harwood, a sta- tion onthe M. K. & T., 15 miles north of Nevada, and were on their way to the Indian Territory to get married. They were taken to jail on telegraph instructions from the girl's father, to await his coming. Miss Minnie isa buxom black-eyed lassie and vows she will marry her sweet William yet. She is held asa sort of a guest in the Sheriff's fam- ily, while her disconsolate swain curses fate and the hard-hearted Sheriff behind the bars. When a St. Louis lawyer said soft- ly that he had never seen horses and toules but had frequently seen jack- asses in court, the judge promptly fined him $50 for contempt.

A Virginia Preacher Takes Occasion to Attack the Character of Que of His Flock. Charlotte, N.C, Feb. 6.—Duriog services in a Virginia county church, abbut thirty miles from Sparta, N- C, last Sunday, Rev. M. Storke, du- ring the course of his remarks, said- “Thereisa man in this congrega- tion who is so mean and unfaithfu® to his wife that it is a wonder God does not rain down fire and brim stone upon his head and consume him.” The preacher pointed his finger towards Thomas Coleman, who oc~ . cupied a seat near the pulpit, and as: he did so, that individual jumped to his feet, to inquire if the parsom weant to be personal in hisremarks No sooner was Coleman on his feet than half a dozen deacons were de- manding that he sit down. Everything was in an uproar, and an attempt was made to eject Colé- man. Coleman resisted and seizing a stick of wood lying near the stove, he began to wield it hard and fast knocking four men to the floor and fatally wounding Jeremiah Furgeson. Oue man wreuched the club from Coleman ani dealt him a deadly low across the head. He then wali ed out of the church and has not been seen since. The riot lasted six minutes and was participated in by many of the congregation who used clubs a weapons. The killed were: Thomas Coleman, Jeremiah Furgesen; the injured, Edward Clausen.

We know Sam must be dead, for he promised us two monthsago to bring us aload of wood on subseption,, and he has never got here with it, and as he was a man of his word we know death was the only cause for his nonfulfillment of his promise.
