The work will be published under the auspices of John Hopkin’s univer- sity, and it promises to be acredit to the institution he represents, the state und to himself. The work wiil 'bo bound in two volumes. The first will consider the “Evolu- tion of the Township,” and the second the “Evolution of the City and the Local Magis- tracics.” Noone acquainted with the genius and ability of Prof. Ho will doubt for a minute but what his first literary effort will not only give him a name but fame. Tho fact that' it will be given the world from John Hopkin's university is a guarantee that it will prove beyond the ordinary. Fach vol- wme will contain about 500 octavo pages. The first_volume will bo ready for the public about the first of January and the second will follow in due time. The work is novel in conception and plan. It not only bears the stamp of genius but originulity. It will carefully trace the rise of English institutions in our own couutry The work recognizes the unity of local con stitutional history and will contribute toward ucing it where it properly bolongs—on a lovel with the history of the national consti- tution. Each institution is traced through every place of development, from its Aryan prototype to its present form in Nebraska and other states of the west. The material Is drawn grom the ancient. codes und chron icles, the fown, colonial und court records, the laws and archives of {he vavious s and territories, aud the entire mass of liter ature connected with the subject.” The vublication will do honor to its gifted author.

The following republican candidates for the legislature will contest the result of the last election: William Mulball, P. J. Williams, Daniel Condon, George M. O'Brien aud Henry Estabrook, candidates for the lower housé, and E.P. Savago, for the senate. The matter has been worked up by the re- publican county central committee, assisted by able advisers and attorneys, Tho contests willbe made on the ground of the alleged illegal conduct of the judges aud clerks of clection in soveral ‘wards, bribery and malconduct of the board of canvass ers, Colonel Savage further charges that idiots and iusane persons were voted in the second precinet of the Seventh ward. Deputy Sheriff Houck has served notices on the contestess. Colonel Savage will cou- test the seat of J. T. Paulsen, while tho democratic members of the house who are brought into this controversy are J. B, Fenno, William Nevey, J. McMillau, W. A Gardner, F. R. Morrissey and Adam Snyder. Of course the case will come up before the logislature, and the deposition of witnesses is now being taken here. J. B. Furay, who was & member of the canvassing board, made an afidavit as to the irregularities and has forwarded it to the speaker of the uext house (whoover bhe may be) at Lincoln.

Thus, as the w en men, who build our rail ronds and lay ont our cities. are the pioncers of our industrial. | rity, so the women who go with these men, and who sh with them the hardships of life in alog-cabin, are the pioncers of our higher civilization. “*Sometimes this log cabin is built in a notch in the Rocky mountains, ot is set up in a clearing in a pine forest in \ hington te tory. or rears its head to b the sullen monotony of the prai and these women tike with them anto thei h.primitive homes their favorite s, their sketehing- blocks, their pianos and casels and em- broidery frames.

Her busi- ness ability and e xecut: talent are of a very high order, as a proof of which is the fact that some of the finest cattle ranches and most extensive and most prosperous sheep runs are owned and managed by women. T liave now in my mind the cas woman, born in Ohio, who ten ago, in this city of New York, wasearn- five or six dollars a week, with which sum she_supported her mother and her father’s brother, a semi-invalid old man. At the timo I speak of, when this woman was about nineteen y of age, she obtained, after much “difii- culty and delay, a grant of a quarter section of government land, to which dead father had become entitled ough his services in the rebellion, This land was located in Oregon. She sent her old uncle out to take up the land and she pinched and saved and sent to him from time to time, almost dollar by dollar, money with which to hire help to clear a space in the timber and to put up a log-hous As s00n as this poor shelter was provided for them she took her mother and went out and lived on herland. Asshe could, from time to time, she bought stock, and so she crept on step by step, until now she has a good home and barn, and last yeur she cleared from the sale of stock ~she had raised, and from the saleof her crops, s nd dollars. And what this woman has done hundreds of women are doing every year. Andif many of these wonen have not much education, their sons and ughters will have.

Detroit Free Press: Mr. Bowser came home the other afternoon just in time to meet the cook going away with her bundle, and he rushed into the house to inquire: “I suppose you've gone and done it again?’ “What?" Abused and maltreated the girl until her sense of justice has compelled her to le ) . anything to do with her “Thon who had? She looked heart- broken as I passed her just now.” “Did she? Poor thing! She got a letter this morning from her aunt, tell- ing her that she had been left 85,000 in cash, and advising_hor to come home and marry a man who owns three farms. She must feel sorrowful!” “Humph! And you didn't much work on her?” “Nor make her feel her position “No. Her position was in the parlor about half the time.” “Well, it seems aucer to me that so many of ourgirls leave. Everything will be upset now fora i, T sup- pose.” 0, no! You can cook, you know, and youare such a sympathetic soul that you oughtto be willing to go to the kitchen for a day or two. I shall de- pend on you, Mr, Bowse: 0, you will? Not sutisficd with driv- ing & ‘dozen poor souls to destruction, you wanta rub at me! I wouldn't have your spirit for all the money in the world!™ He went home an when I inqu put too away with that, but he was hour carlier than usual, and d the cause he said: “What for? Why, the child and I have got to have something to ecat, haven't we, and who's to cook if I don’t take hold?” ST can cook, “Mrs, Bowser, I've long felt it my duty to give you a few lessons in the cul- inary art. 1 have held off, hoping yvour pride would force you to tuke hold, but the limit has been reached. The time has come when I must sacrifice my bus- incss toenter the kitchen and save my child from the pangs of hunger.” Please don't. “But [ willl Tamdriven toit. I've got a wife who can't cook the northwest end of u last year’s turnip, and who can’t keep a cook over a week at a time, I've put up with it too long—much too long. Mrs. Drowser. I must saerifice my dignity to preserve my child Shan't T help you get supper “Not a help, You'd only bo in the vay. Just sit down in the rocker, Mrs, Bowser, put your feet on the lounge and think what mean things you ar going to say tothe next girl to driv her away. When supper is veady I will call your royal Highness.” He disappeared with that. When he ched the kitchen he took off his cuffs and cont, pushed up his sleeves, and kindled a fiv His confi- dence began to desert him ut this point, und 1 ned Lo be studying deeply as he filled the teakettle even full and set it to boil, I had some fresh becfsteak in the ice hox, and he got it out, seratehed his head iv a thoughtful way, and laid it on the kitehen table. Then he went down cellar after the hatchet, wiped the heud of it on his right leg, and pounded away until a good share of the steak had gone into the hoard. Mr. Bowser's next move was to hunt behind the pantry door for a spider which we had never used. He carried it to the kitchen towel, gave it a wipe, and then placed it on the stove. H had heard that grease was necessary, and he put in some butter, dvopped in his stowk, and soon had it sizzling. Then he sturted in for the biscuit, He gl down the dishpan, filled it almost ell, and then vefleoted for a moment, 1 took advantage of the ueeasion to open the door and remark: *Mr. Bowser, you needu’t figure on an elaborate suvper under the. cirewm- i y stances, Just 1 we'll get along. “Mrs. Bowser, you ought to know by this time that there is no half-way work with me,” ho veplied, with great (rigidity. “You can aflord to negleot the comfort of this family, but I cannot. Please return to your novel.” Then ho went abroad just asany other husband would. He had heard about soda and short- enng in biseuit, and he mixed the flour with cold water, put in pepper and salt, slashed off half a pcund of butter and stirred it in, and then remembered the baking powder. There was nearly a quarter of a pound in the box, and the whole of it went in How Mr. Bowser managed to got a It spot botween his shoulder blade, flour on_his hair and baking powder in his hind et I don’t know, but prob- ably it was while he was rolling that mass out. He didn’t triflc with the mixing-board. but uscd the spot where he nad pounded the beef. I heard the mass of dough 1 to the floor three different times with a dull thud, but he wasn’t a bit discouraged. He got it rolled out at last, cut some biscuits with a teacup, and presently the oven door shut on the tin He had just forty biscuit. By this time the steak had burned black on both sides, and he set it down behind the stove and prepared the tea, To 1wo quarts of water he used one tou- spoonful. Ten minutes later he sum- moned me to the banquet, He had the tablecloth on eriss-cross, the butter on the pie plate, the cake in the cheese dish, and his beefsteak was placed in the center of the table on a pie tin, “Anything wrong " he asked, as I sat down. O wo! Youhave done splendidly.” Iam aware of it. This table {I 3 never looked so homelike before His biscuits were raw in the middle, while top and bottom were so wonder- fully and foarfully made that I had to laujh. ke us a cup of teaand biscuit; you Wait till you taste one Ididn’ttaste, but he did. 1was wateh- ing him, and a look of horror came over his face at the first mouthful. He wouldn't give in, however, but crowded a whole biscuit down and pretended to enjoy it. “Twouldn’t e; Bowser,” 1 piciously. “Wouldn’t you? all yourself.” I don’t think it is prop “Well, T do! If that steak, then we never had house He ate nt least . quarter of a pound, though every morsel choked him. I of- fered to wash up the dishes, but ho put me oat of the kitchen and went ahead. He washed everything together in s flour pan, wiln-ll them on whatever ke could find loose, and it was a week before we got the puntry in order again. That night, after bragging of what a breakfast he was going to get, Ir. Bowser was taken with ills un colic, and when the doctor came and [ showed him the beef and the biscuit, he suid: *Mr, eun’t beat em. any of that steak Mr. suid, as he eyed it sus- Perlinps you want it ly cooked.” isn’s a nic one in this Bowser, if you hadn't the stomach of a hark you'd have been d an hour ago.
