Senator Wade's Agrariau and
and WOmen's Voting Speech In

Senator Wade's Agrarian and
and WOmen's Voting Speech In
Kansas. "a =
We publish in full, as it appeared in the
Neso York Times, the Women Suffrage and
Agrarian speech of Senator WADE at Law
renee, Kansas. The telegraphic synopsis
of the speech, it was claimed, misrepre-
sented the Ohio Senator. The full speech,
as it was written ont by the correspondent
of the Times, shows that it did not.
The Cincinnati Commercial says of the po-
sition and effort of WADE:
"That Mr.. Wade has made speech that
covers his friends with confusion, and
makes plain that he lacks good Judgment
and sound discretion is patent. There is
no need to make an argument to show his
folly. That is manifest. He has passed the
line that separates the mischievous from
the ludicrous, and hereafter his ranting will
be listened to only to be laughed at"
The Ne,o York Times, editorially, thus
comments upon this remarkable speech OF
the Ohio Senator Wade: -a-s.
"Mr. Wade's Jump forward is into chaos.
He passes over the heads of Stevens and
Phillips at single leap. He springs from
the domain of American Repuolicanism to
the region of French socialism, He does
not in specific terms indorse Proudhon and
assert that property is theft, but he assails
the whole Industrial and business fabric OF
the country, and sends forth propositions
involving general division of lands and
goods, the limitation of capital, and the
more ample recompense of labor-all by
acts of Congress. .... IL. ,.4
"TLe terrible distinction which exists
between the laborer and the capitalist is not
discovery of which Mr.. Wade can claim
the credit. 1t is a fact which has long en-
gagged the attention of thoughtful men, and
sometimes of philanthropists by no means
profound in thought. Missionaries have
proposed to remove it by law and
combinations, and more often by
revolution; but vain. The fact
remains and grows in its proportions. The
folly of attempting to destroy it by legisla-
tion is, however, conceded even in quarters
where the most saneSagrarianism and
socialism once found favor. Instead of in
vading the sanctity of property, and so up
roofing the great incentive to thrift and
preserving industry, the philosophy of to-
day addresses itself to the power possessed
by organized labor to advance from a con-
dition of dependence and sufficient wages
to one of comfort and Independence"
The peculiar views of Mr.. WADE excite
more attention than would otherwise be
given to the man, from the fact that as
President pro tenpore of the Senate, in case
of the death or successful impeachment of
the President, he would be, for time, en-
trusted with the Executive power of the
country as its Chief Magistrate. That the
speech contains his real sentiments, we have
the old adage, in uino ueritas--truth in wine
-aS evidence.

Little Things

The preciousness of little things was
never more beautifully expressed than in
the following moroccan by B. F. Taylor
Little martin boxes of homes are gen.
orally the most happy and cozy little vii
lagos are nearer to being atoms of shat.
tered paradise than anything we know of;
and little fortunes bring the most con
tent, and LITTLE hopes the least disappoint-
ments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear
little charities fly farthest and stay long
est on the wing little lakes are the still
est, and little farms the best titled. Lit
tie books are the most read, still songs
the most loved. And when nature would
make anything especially rare and beauti-
full: she makes it little-little pearls, lit
tie diamonds, little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they
love best. We once heard good soft of
a man speak of his wife, and we fancied
that she must be perfect bijou of a wife.
We saw her, and she weighed 30; we
were surprised. But then it was no Joke;
the man meant it. He could put his
wife in his heart and have room for other
things beside and what was she but lit
tie MuituDt az ParUo.-much in little
lis the great beauty of all we love best,
hope for most and remember the longest.

The following colloquy took place be-
tween an enthusiastic admirer aud player
of the game of ball, and gent whose re-
gard for his personal comfort led him to
eschew such uruly sports, as he termed
them:
"What is the matter with your fngerY"
"Struck with ball and drove up" was
the reply; "but it is noble game"
Preeisely-and your thumb it is use
less, is it not Z"
"Yes, struck with ball and broken" I"
"That finger joint 7"
GA ball struck it. No better game to
improve mans physical condition

"You walk lame ; that foot, isn't it ?"
"No; it's the-the-well bat few
out of a players hand aud hit my knee
pan. He had the innings"
Gone of your front teeth is gone ?"
"Knocked out by ball an accident"
"Your right hand aud your nose have

"Slipped down at second base-only a

"And you like all this kind of fun ?"
"Glory in it, sir. It's healthy game

Gen. RoSerra,nS.

The Alta Californian says: "We have
observed in a number of interior papers
intimations that Gen. Rosecrans would
be offered and possibly accept the nomina-
tion for Governor of California, by the
Democrats. We have it from good au-
thority that this report has no foundation
in truth. Gen. Rosecrans will not, Oh
any account, accept that or any other
nomination from the Democracy. If he
could be induced to run for Office at all, it
would be on the Union tickets but his
business and inclinations are both averse
to political life, and he is not at all likely
to become the candidate of any party
At the same time his sympathies are
wholly with the Union cause"

A funny case came before justice la
Milwaukee the other day. A young wo-
man who had accepted the attentions and
civilities of gentleman for some time, at
length was married to somebody else,
whereupon the deceived individual sued
for bill of S204 25, the amount he had
paid in her behalf in taking her to con-
certs, operas, picnics, rides aud ice cream
saloons. AS an offset he credited her
with sundry kisses valued at S16.672;
several squeezes of the hand, S3374; an
unreturned photograph and a ring, max
ing, in ALL total of S3175. He recov-
cred the bill, the judge allowing the plain
tiff the kisses at his own valuation.

Praying for a Husband.

A correspondent of the Rochelle, ILL.,,
Register locates the following near that
place Though the story is considerably
older than the correspondent, it is yet
worth reading.
A young lady heard that if she would
go tandpray for three consecutive nights
the Lord would tell her whom whe would
marry. Now it happened that her father
had young man In his employ who had
considerable wit and good humor about
him. One evening he was out in an ap-
pie tree after fruit, when he heard some
one praying something like this: "Oh
Lork, whom will [ marry 2" The idea
popped into the mind of Doyle Chat be
ing the young mans name) that he would
have little sport at her expense. So he
spoke in changed voice and said
"Doyle." ''No, Lord, not Doyle" cried
the astonished young lay. Eyes. Doyle
or no one" again sounded from the tree
top in sober, hollow voice She arose
and entered the house, resolved to try
again on the next evening OF course
Doyle did not wish to spoil the fun, and
so on the next evening found him seated
in the tree top. He did not have to wait
long before the young husband seeker,
came and commenced praying in the same
way that she did on the preceding even
ing, and received the same answer. The
next evening also found her under the
tree pleading to know her future hus-
bands name, and again she heard the
same answer, "Doyle or no one." She
arose feeling satisfied that she must mar
ry Doyle. The next morning she met
him and asked him why he did not put
on better clothes. lie said that he was
not able. "Well," said she, "father is
rich, aud he will let you have money!
He took. that for pretty good hint, and
bought suit of new clothes. In short
time he offered his heart and hand, and
was accepted. After their marriage he
told her how her prayers were answered.
If any of the fair readers of this story
should think of praying for husband
do not get under tree,-or if you do, be
sure to examine it closely and see if there
be any one to answer.

Some idea of the extent of the peach
crop this year in Delaware, may be OBJ
tanned from the estimates now being made
by the railroad company, which is prepar-
ing to carry them to market. tits thou ght
that the yield in Kent county alone, will
be 100000 baskets This is exclusive of
that portion lying along the bay and
creeks, which has its natural outlets by
steamboat and sailing vessels. In 1864,
the year noted for its heavy crop, there
were shipped from Smyrna, 10000 bask-
cts. This year the railroad company give
the quota OF Smyrna at 200, 900.

The Farmers Daughter.

Her cheeks are of fairer red,
Though tinged with deeper brown,
Than you will find in any maid,
Who lives in any town.
Her hair hangs loose above her brow
In many winding curl,
Like leaves on summer bough;
Oh charming country girl!
One charm she has all passing fair
Unknown in city streets;
Her beauty is less known to her,
Than unto those she meets.
She does not live on fiattery's breath,
She bears but little praise;
Her goodness is not g done to DEATH"
In twenty thousand ways.
Your city maidens, who but live
In fashions idle whirl,
For fifty such, Sense would not give
That honest farmers girl.

The Salt Lake Fidette of June Is
says: "On Sunday afternoon Brigham
Young preached a lengthy sermon, bold
ly announcing that Amara Lyman, Orson
Hyde and Orson Pratt had appostalized,
and were cut off from the church. Orson
Hyde had been chosen President of twelve
apostles last April. Pratt is one of the
twelve, and Lyman had been one of the
apostles also. Young was severe on Hyde
but particularly so on Pratt. He de-
nounced the latter as an unbeliever, and
as now in possession Of the devil.
