The railroad bill, ns agreed to by the i
aerate committee, authorizes the com- |
mission to adopt such regulations as may
be oecisjary to prevent unjust disorimi- :
nation in the transportation of freight
and passengers on railroads. It requires
the railroad companies to publish their
rates in some paper in each of the .even
principal cities of ‘he state, and to pub
lish any change 30 days before it goes
into effect. Any one way appeal against
these rates to the commission, and from
the decision of the commission, to the
superior court. This is a vast improve
ment on the present law, which makes it
the duty of the oou.mission to fix the
rates, and does not provide for any ap
peal. The state recognises the right of
each individual to manage his own busi
ness for himself, if he docs not infringe
on the rights of others; we cannot see
the justice of treating corporations io
any other way. The bill gives sufficient
safeguards against injustice to any, and a
full remedy therefor.
A MAN AND A BROTHER.
The chibf told the story. Ha said it
was true; and whatever else might be
said of him, no one had ever accused him
of telling a falsehood willfully in his life.
A rigid disciplinarian, and something of
a martinet in the service of the great
trading company at whose head he stood
in America, in his own house he was
simply the perfect host, the most courte.
ous and the mod hospitable of men.
When his subordinate officers came from
the interior to the capital his residence
was their natural resort of an evening
when the business of the day was done.
Twice I heard him tell the story that I
am about to narrate here, each time with
the same wordsand with the same ges
tures. I believe it to be true, and when
he said he witnessed the incident which
is the centre of it, 1 have no doubt what
ever but. that he did see it. It is a story
finely touched with that human interest
which appeals to all hearts. I have never
thought, of it without feeling that there is
a grandeur an 1 a dignity in life that go
far io counterbalance its too apparent
meannesses and its too evident sins.
The story itself takes us back about a
dozen years or more, to somewhere about
1870, when the Northwestern States and
provinces of this continent were in the
first dawn of tho day of that amazing
vigor which has surprised and astonished
the world. Chicago, standing on the
eastern edge of this vast territory, had
not yet triumphantly emerged from its
bapti-m of fire. The smoke of Milwau
kee hung like a cloud over the western
shores of Lake Michigan. St. Paul and
Minneapolis, young twin giants of lusty
growth, were rapidly rising into import
ance in the higher waters of tho Missis
sippi, wlii e 450 miles north of them.
Fort Garry, on the banks of the Red
river, had hardly as yet begun to show
the promise that its descendant, Winni
peg, mote than fulfills of being the capital
of Central Canada.
That day of beginnings had features of
its own, some of which have disappeared
already, arid nil ofwh'chare fifed event
ually to pass away. For ono thing, the
“Western man” is fast dying out; the
railways, rather than tho saloons, have
killed him. To some extent lie still sur
vives in tho cowboy of Montana and the
Reeky Mountains; but no writer has so
far had either tho temcritj’ or thr strength
of imagination to invest him with the
picturesque and sometimes tender color
ing of that romance in which the West
erner h»s been painted for us.
Among these features so rapidly pass
ing away none was more constantly a part
of the seine, and none more characteris
tic and noticeable, than the 11 it bottomed,
heavy-looking, stern-wheel propeller- the
line pioneer in the West of civilization
when a« yet railways were not. Creeping
up the shallow waters of some stream
hardly broader than the steamer itself,
crushing through the overhanging
bronchos, shno.ing rapids and jumping
sand batiks, never safe from “songs.”
with ira driving wheel gushed and man
gled by the floating drift timber, it held
bravely Ou its way, currying supplies for
the distant settlements. Timo was no
great object, so long ns it gut thar. The
pieient writer well remembers in 1574
spending three days in getting over sixty
miles of tho snaky bends and tortuous
twists ol the Red Lake River from Crook
ston to Grand Forks, in Northern Dakota
in just such a steamer. Now the rail
ways have driven it away far northward
and westward, nor h ns far as the Sask
atchewan and the Peace river, und west
ns fur as the smaller tributaries of tl.e
Yellowstone and the Missouri.
Duiiiig tho summer of 1870, wo will
say, one of the steamers was making its
way down the Rod river of the North for
Fargo. In design und appearance it was
of tho usual Western type. And the Red
river is of tho satt o general order as most
strefttne of the West—a shallow zigzag of
a stream, apparently goi"g nowhere in
particular, but, for all that, in its own
leisurely fashion, knowing its own busi
ness very well ss it heads northward for
lake Winnipeg, now wide, now narrow,
with hero a bluff of poplar or oak upon
its banks, and there a belt of willows
bending down into the yellow-brown wa
ters while a few solitary log shanties at
wide intervals tell of the settler’s pres
ence.
There are but few passengers on the
cabin dick of the steamer—one or two
officers of the Hudson Bay Company go
ing on to their posts in the wilderness, a
number of farmers und emigrants intend
ing to take up homesteads in Manitoba.
Ono of the Hudson Bay Company's offi
cers has with hitu his young wife and a
child, a tiny girl three years old—a pret
ty, prattling, fearless, fascinating young
woman. She is everybody’s pet, from
the rather dandy wheelsman, who tries
to entice her up to his pilot-box, which
towers above the vessel, down to the
grizzled, grimy deck hands, whose ac
quaintance sho has somehow or other
made, on the lower deck.
Ou the floor of this lower deek, whith
er she has been taken by her nurse, she
has seen three men lying bound, chained
hand and foot. They are on their way
to be tried at Fargo, and theSherifl, who
has effected thsir capture, never leaves
them, for they are known to be desper
ate. Certainly there is no lamb-like in
nocence about them. They constantly
talk to ono another, and to the Sheriff,
whom they call Bill, and who, to do him
justice, enters fully and sympathetically
into al! the exploits of the "buys.” They
are confessed ruffians and bullies, and
they dou’t seem ashamed of it. They
guess the game is up, end they aca-cpt
their fate, not cheerfully, but as a matter
of course. They swear, in a copious and
characteristic vocabulary of their own,
against their ill luck; but they have got
thor at last, and they know it.
little child came to them and look
ed at. them curiously; they looked silent
ly at her. They had probably never seen
anything so dainty or so sweet before.
She saw nothing in them to frighten her.
So she advanced and spoke to them tn
her broken words; she even touched the
fetters on the hands of one of them, and
smiled in his face, and asked him what
they were. The man smiled too, without
replying, and the child moved away. As
she walked there was a sudden quick
jerk of the whole ship, its further side
ground jarringly against some unyielding
substance hidden in the water; it, tilted
over slightly, the child lost her balance,
and, with a scream, fell over the side into
the water. The vessel for an instant was
stationary. The three prisoners law her
disappear. The pris mer to whom she
had spoken, and whose handcuffs she had
for a moment touched, exclaimed, “bind!
don’t ye shoot, Bill I” Then quickly
rolling himself ove: and over, ho dropped
into the water beside the child. As his
hands were bound behind him, he caught
the child’s dress in his teeth, and tread
ing the water with his fettered feet, kept
the child above water until help came.
As everybody’s attention was diverted to
the opposite side of the steamer, it was
sometime before the boat from the vessel
reached them. But the child was saved.
“Splendid,” said the chief, with dish
ing ej e--.
Yes, it was splendid, magnificent, no
ble. Needless to relate the thankfulness
of the poor young mother or the grati
tude of the father.
“I guess you air a white man, Rik, af
ter all,” said the Sheriff.
A purse was made up among the pas
sengers for tho man, whose name was
Erikir, a Scandinavian ly birth.
It was afterward learned that the Sher
iff told the story to tho “.ledge,” amt
! the Judge, with Western freedom, and
that admira ion for a gallant act which
covers a multitude of sin.s, so arranged
that when it was found that Erikir had
mysteriously disappeared, nothing was
done beyond a little official Elustct, and
he escaped. It wou'd be interesting to
know what was the result of tho episode
upon the man. Was tho mission of the
child to reclaim the man? It often is so.
But nothing has ever since been heard of
the fate of Erikir. Utrpr's Weekly.

At Bloomingdale, Michigan, July 28th,
Harvey Keith disappeared. Tho next
morning Marshall Barker sai l that, re
turning home late, he found Keith with
his (B’s) wife, and that Keith jumped
out of the window and ran. Keith's body
was as erwards found in Max Like, a
mile from Barker's house. The Barker
brothers have boon entrapped into con
fessing that they enticed Keith to the
house; that Marshall Barker strangled
him, went to le i till it stopped raining,
and the two carried the body to tho lake,
mutilating it as they went.

MAKE HOME HAl’l’l.
Do not jest with your wife on i subject
in which there is danger of hurting her
feelings. Remember, she treasures every
word you titter. Do not speak of some
virtue in another mini’s wife to remind
your own of a fault. Do not reproach
your wife for personal defects, for if she
lias sensibility you inflict a wound diffi
cult to heal. Do not treat your wife with
inattention in company. It touches her
pride, and she will not love you or re
spect you better for it. Do not upbraid
your wife in the presence of strangers;
the sense of your regard for her feelings
will prevent her from acknowledging her
fault. Do not entertain vonr wile with
the praises of other women, or their ac
complishments. If you would have a
pleasant home and a cheerful wife pass
your even ngs under your own roof. Do
not be steru iu your own house and re
markable in your sociability elsewhese;
and, above all. remember that from u
happy heme it is not fur to heaven.
The bill to prohibit the sale of whisky
in Mclntosh county consumed a good
deal of the time of the house, many sup
porting it, though Mr. Wilson, represent
' ing that county, opposed it. We have
always been told that local bil s never
provoked any diseusssioit, but when ask
ed for by the representative of the coun
ty affected were passed: not otherwise.
Too bill was lost; ayes 71, nays 45; nee
sssiny to passage, 88, a majority of the
whole number; but a motion to recon
sider prevailed. Some plan for taking
local legislation to some other body than
the legislature of the whole state is badly
needed.

THEORY VS. FACTS.
BY M F.
“In some things women are silly and
ridiculonsl”
Here John Harding laid down the mag
azine article he had been reading, and
which had for its theme the apparently
inexhaustible one —the follies and short
comings of tho sex to which he had allud
ed.
Mrs. Harding glanced from the bow
she was fastening to the solemn face of
the speaker.
“In some things? This is encouraging,
surely! I’ve known su.-h quantities of
men that were silly and ri Hcalnas in so
many. What is it now, I wond-r?"
Loftily oblivious to the q tiet sarcasm
in these words, Mr. Harding continued:
“Just look at the way they dress, for
instance.”
“Ol.l”
“Not only devoid of common sense,
but of all artistic elegance and beauty.”
“Really, John,” retorted Mrs. Hard
ing, drawing her needle through her
work with so much energy as to snap the
thread, "however silly women may be in
your estimation, I think they might
know how an! in what stylo to dress ”
“They might, I suppose,” was the cool
response; “but that they dou’t is vary
evident. Have you read 'Dress as it Re
lates to Health and Beauty' in the last
monthly?' ’
“No,” responded Mrs. Harding, with
a less of the head. “It was written by
some man. I suppose.”
“No matter who it was written by; it
is sound sense, every word of it. I wish
you would study that article. I think it
would do you an immense deal of good. J
don’t mean to say yr u haven't got sense
in many things, wli'cli surpris-is mo all
the more that you should show so little
in the way of dress.”
Mrs. Darling's red face grew still red
der.
“John Harding!”
“There, now, Miry; don’t fly into a
passion because 1 tell you the truth, all
foryourown good. Just, look at the trio -
tiling on the. skirt of your dress, for in
stance; aceotding to all artistic rules, the
line should be unbroken from waist to
feet, an I here it is cut up and destroyed
in half a d- z?n places "
"Have you ever seen mo in a dress
whose skirt was entirely plain, oy as you
term it, with the line unbroken from
waist to feet?"
“No; but I should ba glad to do so.”
"You would? Have you any further
complaint to make? If you have, I beg
that you won't be backward in stating
it."
“I don't mean to bo. There's the hat
you wear. That is what you call it, I
suppose, though for any use it performs
it might ns well bo called most anything
else, ama s of ribbons, feathers, and
flowers piled up ax high as possible and
worn upon the hick of the liea.J.
'.■l 1 then your hair!
"How would you have me arrange it,
dear?”
“Why. simply drawn back from the
forehead and C'il-.d low at the bank of
tho hi nd, so us to preserve its artistic
outline. Something tho way it is tn that
picture. See? '
>1 rs. Harding glanced at tho picture
to which her husband pointed, that of a
very lovely girl, with small, regular feat
ures, and whose wavy hair w»s loosely
knotted at the back.
"Yes, I Sec. But I don’t think you
ever saw hair dressed in that s.y'e.”
“I would be an immense improve
men 1 if you would dre.-sit so; you’d look
quite like another person.”
“I think i should. Bit have you no
further suggestion to make ? Your ideas
are so ori ’inal that you interest mo ”
“Not nt present," re'time I Mr. Hard
ing, l i'ing off the end of a cigar which he
intended to light as soon as he got ou the
stops.
A few minutes later he put his head
back into the room where his wife was
sitting. “I shal be around with the po
nies nt 3, Mary. Don't keep me waiting.”
Mrs. Harding belonged to that very
large class of ladies whose attractions de- i
pend more or lesson style of dress, and ■
no one understood this more clearly than
she. She knew her strong and weak
points, and how to bring out the one and
conceal the other. I'or instance, she had
fine eyes, hair and complexion, but her
features were rather irregular, her fore
head especially being out of proportion
with the rest of the face, and the form
wanting in foundress of outline, but e>
skilfully were these defects remedied by I
the adjustment of hair and dress that j
•hey were scarcely noticed, and she was '
eon-idered by al! who knew her—her hus
band not excepted— to bo an attractive
and charming woman.
Mrs. Harding spent the greater part
of the morning in the attic, overhauling ’
a chest that had belonged to her hus- I
band's aunt, apparently well repaid for
her trouble by garments fished up out of 1
its dark depths, and which she curried to i
her own room. Out of one of these she
fashioned a dress very similar in stylo to
the one for which her husband had ex
pressed so much admiration.
"I hate to disfigure myself so!” she
thought, as the straight folds fell lankly
around the tall thin form, making it look
still more tall and thin, ‘ but nothing else
will cure our John, and it he keeps cn
he'll drive me frantic.”
Then she proceeded to take down the
heavy braids of hair, and combing it
smoothly from her forehead over the ear, j
arranged it into a pug, low at the back
of the head.
“Good gracious! I didn't suppose any
thing could make me look so much like
a fool!” ejaculated Mrs. Harding, as she
noted the change it made iu her appear
ance, "Bat no mutter; it’s only for once, i
and I guess I can stand it if he can!”
Taking a round, flat bat, very tnuah in
vogue a few years ago, and whose only
ornament was a ribbon around the crown,
Mrs. Harding went down into the parlor.
She did not have to wait. Ten min
utes later John came up to the door in an
open phaeton drawn by the well-matched
grays that were the pride of his heart.
Running up the steps, he opened the
door of the room where his wife sat.
He stared at her for a moment in dumb
amazement.
"Heavens and earth, Mary, is that
you? I thought it was —I don’t know
what. What have you been doing with
yourself?’’
“I have been trying to carry out the
hints you gave me this morning in regard
to dress. I hope it suits you and you
admire its effect.”
"Well, no," responded Mr. Harding,
taking a critical survey of the odd-look
figure before him. “I can’t say I do.
so .speak plain’y, you look like a fright."
“I mlist sjy, John," retorted his wife,
with an injured air, “that you are very
difficult to suit. I have spent the great
er part of ths morning in following the
suggestions you gave me at breakfast,
and still you find fault. What is it now.
I’d like to know? Here is the unbroken
sweep of the skirt, the classic outline of
the head—l think that i • what you call
i' And you surely cannot Say that this
is 'oo high, or that its 'elegant simplicity’
I quote your own words—is destroyed
by any superabundance of flowers, feath
ers, and ribbons.”
Mr. Harding turned vety red.
“That is all nonsense, Mary. I had
only three hours at <<iy disposal, and it’s
now 3:30. I thought 1 should find you
ali ready.” ‘
“I shall be ready in half a minute,”
responded his wife, tying on her hat.
Mr. Harding loosed at her in bonified
astonishment.
“Do you think that I am going to take
you out in such a dress as that? Why,
yon look like an escaped lunatic!”
Just Here the door bell rang.
"It’s Judge Howe," said Mr. Harding,
as he listened to the voice, in reply to
the servant who answered it. “He’s
come expressly to see you. For pity’s
sake go up-stairs and put on something
decent. 1 wouldn't have him see you in
that dowdy thing for any consideration!”
“Will you promise ”
“I'll promise anything,” interposed
Mr. Hur ling, drawing his wife toward
the door which opened into the back par
lor, and through which she disappeared
just ns their visitor was announced.
In an almost incredibly short space of
time Mis. Harding entered the parlor,
where her hutban J and their guest were
seated, looking so different that no o e
not intimately acquainted with her would
have recognized her.
Mr. Harding drew n long sigh of relief
as he looked at the pretty, tastily a tired
Woman of whom lie had so often .spoken
to his fii n-I Judge Howe, and to whom
he was so proud to present Iter.
In thegny and animated conversation
that followed, and ad the pleasant
thoughts ta which it gave rise, he forrot
everything else. Not so with Mrs.
Harding. A- smn as the door closed as
tet their visitor, she turned her laughing
eyes full upon her husband's face.
"Now, John, let us have a fair and
clear understanding. 1 want to suit you,
;ifit is a possible thing. Wh ch of those
two styles of dressing do you wish me to
adopt?”
"I shouldn't suppose you'd ask such a
question, Mary. Seeing you in the pe
culiar costume you assumed is quite
enough for me, I assure you.”
“1 assumed it to please you—don’t for
get that."
“You failed in your object, then. To
speak frankly, I didn't suppose it possi
ble for you to look so downright ugly in
anything."
“You aie not over c tmplitnenUry,”
laughed Mrs. Harding. ''But no mat
ter; if you're satisfied I am. Don’t look
sa crestfallen, John; you are not a bit
more inconsistent than the rest of yout
sex, who give ours so much sage advice
) tn regard to matters they know nothing
I about. Ifthe wives and daughters of
the se modern Solomons should dtess a
they advise other people's wi es and
daughters to do, they wouldn't be seen
in the street- with them.”

A Mother’s Love—A Practical
1 Illustration of Its Power.
A mother’s love ! What a potent thing
, it is ! It will melt the heart of the most
hardened criminal, when no other influ
ence would be effectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
1 one can appreciate it if they will. It is
1 known, though, that it means sleepless
nights, care, inconvenience, and, if ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
3 the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
, ablest writers to furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical il
lustrations occur in every day life for it
I to be dwelt upon, so that it is unnecessary
, to speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
‘ meaning of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland,
■ Ky., writes that her daughter has been
j cured of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
1 lost all hope of her daughter ( her ideal)
being cured, and how overjoyed she is at
the result. After trying many remedies,
she says PIttUNA brought a cure, and
that the daughter’s hearing is restored.
. She concludes, by speaking in the r.-.osi
’ flattering terms of Percna, and then de
scribes in the most lovely manner the
' happiness it has brought her, and reviews
t the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.
Dr. A. R. Ong, Martins Ferry, 0.,
writes : “I have a large trade on your
> Pebuna. Think it is a grand remedy.”
Mr. Robert C. Hannah, Tolesborough,
, Lewis county, Ky., writes: •’ I write to in
form you of the great benefit I received
‘ by the use of your medicines, Pebuxa
I and Manalin. I had been low spirited
„ and very sick for about six months with
, a bad cough, and my friends thought I
had consumption ; tried a number of
' patent medicines, and most of the doctors
- tn the vicinity ( and we have some as
good as you can find in the country),
but they did me no good whatever. Our
merchant, Mr. Gillespie, insisted upon
1 me trying vonr remedies. I did so, but
s must say, I had little faith in them at
fir-t; Ik-fore I had consumed my first
1 bottle, I noticed a change for the
better, and to-day I am entirely well,
' and as sound a man as there is in the
vicinity. I credit my cure to your valu
able remedies, Pebona and Manalin,
i and recommend them to all of my
friends.”
