sas- James Parton has an article in
the Atlantic Monthly for August, en-
titled "Will the Coming Man Drink
Vino ?" He asserts that the Com
ing Man will not drink wine when
he is we'll 1t will be an article of his
religion not to commit any of these
sins against his body the consequent
ces of which can be postponed by
drinking wine. He will hold his
body in veneration. He will feel all
the turpitude and shame of violating
it. He will not acquire the greatest
intellectual good by the smallest bod
lily loss. He will know that mental
acquisitions gained at the expense of
physical power or prowess, are not
culture, but effeminacy. Ifby chance
he should be sick, he will place him.
self IN the hands of the Coming Doc
tor and take whatever is prescribed.
Parton thinks the Coming Doctor
will give his patients alcoholic mix>
lures about as often as he will give
them laudanum, and in doses of about
the same magnitude. These are the
conclusions reached in long and ex-
ceedingly readable article, which
every body should read.

For Congress-C Candidates.

Gen Cobb's mistake, and the
chances for his failure to receive a
nomination for reelection rs a re-
suit of that mistake. are calling forth
half a dozen or more candidates for
the succession TO Congressional we

make no mistake at all The Sa-
vior's decision in the case of the wo-
man taken in adultery and found
guilty Of a single error, he that was
without guilt to cast the first stone.
would not apply in this modern case,
because there are candidates for the
stoning who claim absolute perfec-
tion--not being guilty Of even a sim
Gle blunder, and who are willing to
90 into Congress as lambs and come
out spotless as angels
We can see no cause for dropping
Gen Cobb and taking up any man
of absolute perfection that we know
of in the seven counties comprising
the Third Congressional District.
Severa! very good men are offer

Cobb we are willing to grant. Men
whose private and public records are
good, and Of fair political morality.
But where is the advantage to the
people of making any change The
officers are for the good Of the peo-
ple--uot for single favorites, not for
localities
Is there an abier, a wiser, w0r-
thier, truer preventative of the
people than Gen. Cobb Did he
make even a single mistake as o leg
slator in 1876, when more than half
the members of the Wisconsin legis-
lature were bribed .? Did he make
even a single mistake subsequently
as the speaker Of the Assembly p
Did he make any mistakes as q sold
Ter. in battle ? Has he made to ex-
cecd one mistake during his long
service in Congress, and during the
time scarcely single member has
been able to run through without
laundering half dozen times

THE RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.

The RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.
Mr.. Trumbull, of Illinois, has in
troduced into the United States Sen
ate bill concerning the rights of
married women, which gives them
everything that the law can give
them, except the privilege of voting.
1t provides that every married wo-
man shall hold, enjoy, convey, devise
and bequeath her property, make
contracts, and sue and be sued in all
matters relating to her property, pres
cisely as if she were single. There is
no reason why the bill should not
pass. Just such Law has been in
force in France for half a century,
and one nearly as liberal in this
State for twenty years, without do
ing any mischief, but, on the contra>
ry, q great deal of good. 1t is time
that every vestige Of the feudalism of
the dark ages, which went on the as
sumption that mems wives were their
slaves, was done away with. No
decent man wants his wife to pay
bis debts out of her property, or to
take that property for his own use
without her consent and Mr. Trum-
bull would merely enact what public
opinion has already asserted.

The Harvest-W heat-Crops.

The harvest came at once, the
difference in time of ripening being
but trifle in early and late sown
wheat. This date Of writing, July
28th, we are in tho height and heat
of harvest, though the weather is not
quite 50 warm rs Of late. A few are
through harvesting and their help
can be spared to double up the help
of their neighbors. The weather is
exceeding tine-never better time
for harvesting.
Tho day wages rates are far from
uniform. Hands are receiving from
$500 up to $500, though the higher
figures are only paid to first class
hands, and for q brief time TO save
crops in peril.
Early sown wheat is generally
prime in quality and per acre yield,
never better in the knowledge of old
settlers. Late sown wheat will be
fully fifty per cent. below fair in
quality and yield-failIng TO fill well,

rsa- Frank Blair Is the Demot

u.s. Frank Blair IS the Democratic
nominee tor the Vice Presidency
Why was he nominated? Because
he Is in favor, unqualifiedly, of over
throwing Congressional reconstruct
ton. How? This is the way he
proposes
There is but one way to restore
the Government and the Constitu :
ton, and that is for the President
elect to declare these acts null and
void, compel the army to undo this
usurpation at the South, desperse
the carpet>bag State governments,
allow the people to reorganize their
own governments, and elect Senators
for Representatives"
What does this mean Revolu-
ton. 1t means the exercise of the
military power Of the Government in
the hands of a Copperhead President
to carry out his policy regardless Of
the representatives of the people and
enactments Of the peoples will.
