THE DEAD CHILD
Sunday, and Prohibition.

SuAuoy, 0nO FrOn1O1t1Ons
Our puritanical opponents begin to think
they have over-stepped the mark of poll
teal safety in their efforts to tell exactly
how the Sabbath shall be spent, and exact
ly what they may eat and drink. The ar.
ticle below is note of warning from "the
Bible'' of western Radicals, The Chics &C
Daily Tribune. Do our Iowa radicals &C.
cord with the Tribune! What will Col
SAN. do with the Templars, and what will
they do with him :? Tell us SAMUEL, what
you think. Is the Tribune right, or dc
you reto its remarks. Be real Governor,
not a dodger
The war of liquor prohibition and Sun
day observances has broken out with con.
siderable earnestness in Wisconsin. We
look upon it as altogether unfortunate tina,
this quarrel could not be postponed until
after the questions growing out Of slavery
and rebellion shall be settled on right prin.
ciples. 1t is certain that the German ele-
ment in the Republican party, and a con,
siderable portion of native born members,
will separate themselves from any political
organization which makes liquor prohhilhii- b
n22h!1 4 sUet. There will be time enough
and ways enough to shiver the party to
atoms, (if that must be done), after it shall
have completed the great work with which
it is specially charged-that of making all
men equal before the law. But already we
find the German Republican Central Com
mittee of New York separating itself from
its political friends in State and local elec-
tions, and even General Schurz and MIR.
Roeser commencing its example and ad-
vising its adoption wherever like intoler-
ant spirit controls the Republican party.
True, the Germans are advised by the
New York Committee and by Gen. Schurz
in the st. Louis Wesliche Post, and Mr..
Roeser in his letter to the Boston Com
moncealth, to adhere to the Republican
party in national elections. But this will
be practically impossible, for, us Mr.. Roe
ser remarks : "When division occurs, in
the Republican party in State elections,
where a portion of the party confronts it
as enemy, one cannot we'll fraternize with
that party again.
1t is useless to sneer at people who look
upon liquor prohibition as an infringement
of personal liberty, and who resist it a
such. 1t is equally foolish to shut our
eyes to the customs, the early training, the
convictions Of those who look upon the
first day of the week as being more adapt
ed to recreation, but not holier, than any
other day. 1t is the appropriate duty Of
our churches to convert, not to coerce these
people. More souls will be saved by the
former rrocass than hv the latter II is
by the an hs at
character, to prevent any disturbance by
which religious worship may be interfered
with, not only as to Sunday, but as to all
other days. Beyond this it is unsafe to 60,
looking at it in its social and political as.

OTIS are the natural consequences of sump-
tuary laws and enforced religious observ-
ances.

ACCOMPLISHED THE FEAT.-The arrival
of the little raft Nonpareil at Southamp-
ton, Eng, on Friday last, after a passage
of ffty-two days from this port, will be
hailed with astonishment as well as graft
fcation by thousands Of persons. Who
could look at that frail composition, for it
was not vessel in any sense, and conceive
of its passage in security across the wide
Atlantic? What becomes of the heroism
of a yacht voyage to Europe after this p
What becomes Of the marvellous trip of
the miniature ship 'Red, White and Blue?'
Their feats sink out of sight in view Of
such cruise on board of such craft-a
few boards nailed together, as it were, to
some logs-a craft without even a cabin to
retreat to for sleep at night or tempestu-
Gus weather! The Nonpareil, thoug gh she
has made tardy progress, experienced no
mishap, and her captain, as well as her
crew of two men, landed on q European
shore in safety, health and good spirits
Truly, as Sam Patch once said "some
things can be done as well as Others"

COMING TO THE "ScRATcH."-Th late
Judge Oakley, a name held in reverence
by the Bench and the Bar Of New York,
was rigid in requiring the attendance of
persons summoned as jurors. Excuses,
unless very good, were Of no avail. On
one occasion several whose names had been
called, stood before the bench, "and they
all with one accord began to make excuses
Among them was an insignificant, frowsy-
looking little fellow, who said
Judge, wish you'd let me off,"
9 For what reason p inquired his hon
or.
"Well, judge, l don't want to say"
:" You must say or serve.'
" But, judge, | don't think the jurors
would like to have me serve with them"
Why not ? Out with it ~
Well, judge'-(pausing.)
Go on ~
''rve got the itch - .l
Mr.. Clerk, scratch that man out ~
was the prompt order of his honor, and
the party left the presence.

MlsTAKE.-Rev. Mr.. Merrill for whom we
sympathized few weeks ago. on account
of the report given us by his brother-in-
law, turns up alive and publishes a long
article begging everybody's pardon. We
copy from the New. York Sunday Times ::
A long, silly, spasmodic letter, has
been addressed to the public by the Rever-
end Mr.. Merrill, in which he confesses his
errors, insists that he has never criminally
wronged any person, wastes great many
sentimental platitudes upon the wife and
children he has abandoned, and attributes
all to his Indebtedness. The letter was evil
IDENTIFY penned for effect, and is written in
just such an empty, declamatory style, as
the reverend gentleman employs, no doubt,
when he breaches. 1t is ''clap trap" from
beginning to end, and instead of exciting
pity, provokes contempt. Sensible people
scorned MIR. NJ. before now they despise
him. au.ag.- $3.50 - E ..li

A-i-e-.- Wilt, r. a. H. -il-~-.~.na.,
years professor of languages and Inathe-
mates at the Kent Hill Seminary, Read
field, Me-, died recently at the advanced
ago of eighty-three. He was born in Ire
land and educated in England. In 1888,
he came to this country, having abandon
ed the idea of taking orders. Shortly af-
ter stepping foot on American soil, he hir-
ed out as an hostler. One day, to the
astonishment of a clergyman, he was heard
swearing to fractious horse, he was
grooming, in Greek. A conversation fol-
lowed, and the clergyman, finding that
Walsh was an accomplished linguist, took
him away from the menial calling he was
pursuing and got him situation in a
school. From that time forth he followed
his favorite calling.

No CHANCE FOR THE LADIEs.-The wo-
men may as well understand first as last
that, although clique Of the ''strong-
minded have made a gallant fight for sue
cess, the constitutional convention has
firmly set its face against female suffrage.
The majority of the delegates are resolved
that for the next twenty years, at least,
the negro shall, and the women shall not !,
be mems political equals in this state. It
is curious discrimination, but Horace
Greeley evidently opposes his wifes idea
Of neutralizing his influence at the polls.
Women will not be allowed to vote here,
whatever they may do in Kansas. The Ia
dies may as well comprehend "the situa-
ton at once, and accordingly. The con-
vention will not even submit the woman's
or negro's amendment, the ballot-box. 1t
proposes to fashion constitution to suit
its political friends, then argue that the
opposition have made a party measure of
it, and SO push it through, en- masse, at
the Sunday Times.

1t is common for misers and dried-up
specimens of humanity, to ridicule the ten
der passion, but all history and observa-
ton 60 to prove that the greatest mon the
earth has produced, have been the I" soft

two specimen "Love-Letters'' from the
great Napoleon to Josephine. Amid the
din of battle and the clash of arms, the
poor victim of ambition had time to think
of the sympathy of that noble heart which
though afterwards rejected, always adher-
ed faithfully to its admiration for her Inn
perial husband. 1t is strange that the au-
