We should sympathizei With
Prussia in this ife-and death
struggle, because in no respect
has she shown herself,in1 the
wrong, because it is a contest
between q Roman Catholic
power and a Protestant powsr
a struggle between progress
and reaction, between German
liberalism and universal edur
cation, and French Imperial-
ism and popular ignorance, be-
cause it is an unprovoked war
for the conquest of Rhenish
Prussia on the part OF France,
and hence foreign TO the spirit
of the age, and lastly, because
it is a contest between q Ma

IT is one of the most anus
ing sights in the world to watch
a young and inexperienced fly
attempt to peregrinate slantin-
dicularly across the head of
one of our short.haired young
men. We mean one of those
heads that are scissored down,
rasped, filed and finished Off
with sand paper and emery, SO
the minutest bump stands out
IN as bold relief as a hill of
potatoes. He (the fly travels
so loosely, and mixes his feet
up very much like a bashful
bachelor learning to skate. No
use trying to enjoy a sermon
with one of those heads ON an
exact line between you and
the preacher, and an unfortuu-
ate fly on it, essaying desper,
ately to get across from the
northeast to the southeast
corner, to see a friend.

some of the pieces going

WE learn from a report Of
the Minister of War for 1866
that there are thirty conscripts
in France out of every one
hundred who cannot read. The
moral condition OF tho people
as regards marriage and kind.
red matters is anything but
satisfactory. More than one-
third of the children born in
the Department of the Seine
are illegitimate, and about one
in eight in the towns outside
of Paris. The Secretary of the
British Legation in a report
dated July l., 1869, says that
the percentage ofdeaths among
children under twelve months
old ranges from So to 90 per
cent in the different depart,
ments. That infanticide and
abortion are very much on the
increase, and that the local
authorities, instead of bringing
these crimes to light, seek
rather to increase them, in or
der that they should not ap.
pear in the criminal statistics.

the leaves Of this beautiful
tree the silk.worm feeds. In
its native country it usually
grows to the height OF forty or
fifty feet, with a clean trunk,
two or more feet in diameter.
In America it does not form

The timber is beautiful and
excellent. About a century
since this species Of Mulberry
was introduced into this coun-
try with the view of rearing
silk-worms, and the production
of silk; but the elk culture was
in a very short time abandoned
almost entirely. The Chinese
claim the art of rearing silk
worms, and manufacturing silks
from a very remote period.
From China this art was in
troduced into India and Persia,
and was practiced there for
many ages before it reached
Europe. The Greeks became
acquainted with silk subse-
quent to the days of Alexan-
der the Great, and it was not
till the end OF the Republic,
that the Romans for the first
time saw this precious article.
For many ages silk bore an
enormous price at Rome; but
about the middle of the sixth
century, during the reign of
Justinian, two monks arrived
at Constantinople from India,
bringing with them the White
Mulberry and the eggs of the
silk.worm. From Constantine.

Greece, and about the year
1130, into Sicily and Italy. The
first White Mulberries were
planted in France in the year
1902, where some Of the origin

cultivated and naturalized
throughout the Southern coun-
tries Of Europe. In Southern
localities the leaves appear to
contain a less proportion of
water, and more Of that sub
stance which causes the worms |
to create silk, in greater abund'
ance and of finer qualities. In
the United States this fine tree
will flourish as far North as the
forty>third and as far South, at
least, as the thirty-second par
allel of latitude. As an orna,
mental tree it will always hold
a prominent place in the Mid

Union. 1T should have a place
in all pleasure grounds. 'ia'

EDITOR REcoRD:-The mem.
bers of Valetta Lodge, l. o. G.
7. of this place having elected
their officers for the ensuing
term, announced that there
would be a public installation
of officers, and an address de-
livered on the subject of Tenn.
perance at their lodge rooms,
on Friday night, August 5th.
On the night of the lnstalla.
ton the lodge was opened at
Z o'clock P. M. Officers all
present. After the reading of
several propositions for men,
bership, and the election of
several candidates, the busi-
ness of the lodge was suspend
ed for the installation of Off
GERS. Doors were opened at
II o'clock 2. NJ, and the rooms
were socn well filled with a
respectable audience. All
necessary preparations being
made, the installation of off
GERS began. Mr.. Payne a mem.
Der of the Grand Lodge, was
the installing officer. He was
very dignified in his position,
and under his management the
ceremonies were very impos.
ing and seemed to be much
appreciated by the audience.
The following were installed in
the respective Offices to which
they had been elected and ap-
pointed:
w. q. T., w. B. Cherin gton;
W. V. T., Miss Ada Gist; P. w.
g. T., Thomas Knauss; R. Fl. S.,

son; W. M. j. Harbergey w. A.

man; Chaplain, Edward Muir
ray.
The installation being over,
Mr.. Knauss, w. q. L. of the
past term, introduced MIR.
Payne, who addressed the au-
dience on the subject of tenn.
perance. The speaker made a
very forcible speech, leaving a
fine impression on the minds of
his audience in favor of the
temperance cause. The music
selected for the occasion was
good. Some OF the pieces sung
were both rich and rare. The
closing piece was sung by Miss
Chandley and Mr.. Book with a
good deal OF lite, and brought
down the house. Many elated
by what their eyes had seen
and their ears had heard, went
to their homes rejoicing, saying
it was good for us to be there;
inquiring why these blue tee.
total Templars don't have more
such doings and have them Of
tener.
This Lodge was organized
last spring, and the past term
has been a very successful one
under the administration Of
Bro. 'rhos. Knauss. He had
the interest OF the lodge at
heart, threw his whole soul in
to it, inspired the members,
worked..with a will, and success
has been the result, as its list
of members show. But the
best of all is they are increasing
in numbers. The future
prospects of this lodge are

DURING the last few years,
the Government of Prussia and
the Government OF France
have both had experienced
military officers in this coun.
try, on the duty of inquiring
into the appliances of our late
war. One particularly astute
officer of the Prussian general
staff, who has been well known
in military circles here for a
considerable time, disappear
ed suddenly on the first sign
of war a fortnight ago, and it
is probable that he is by this
time in Berlin, if not on the
Rhine. He knows all that can
be known about our artillery
and small arms, as well as
about our earthwork, system,
our field maneuvers, and all
the details of our campaigns.
Won Moltke has taken pains
to pick up a great many mill
tary items during the last lew
years, and has sent his agents
far and near to learn about ev-
erything new or strange.-N

CASTELAR, on Lincoln.

The speech Of Emilli Castel-
lar, in the Sapanish Oortes, on
the immediate abolition of
Slavery in the Colonies of
Spain, although not so fine a
specimen of sustained Aloqu-
ence as his great speech on the
expulsion ofthe Bourbons, con.
tains, nevertheless, several
strong passages like the follow.
ing: sog
America had been born in
order that it should be the
paradise of man free, Of man
regenerate; yet it was there
that slavery budded. The evil
was so great that it touched
the United States of North
America, and so intense was it
that itprofaned even the bosom
of the Republic. Not all oft,
however, fell into the accursed
den, Jefferson traced the line
where the black line OF slavery
should be broken. But the
slave party had so grown that
they were on the eve of passing
that line. Then the navigator
of..the Mississippi and the Ohio,
a,Senator from the great West,
went up to the Capital at
WashiD gton, and when the
slave owners gave utterance to
their lcudest defiance, he broke
the chains of 3,OOO,O 900 OF men;
and that nothing might be
wanting to his glory, not even
martyrdom ITSELF he died, as
did Socrates, as Christ, as all
redeemers, at the foot of his
work, over which forever hu-
manlty will shed its tears and
God his blessings. Applause

No wonder. England has
Free Trade, and wherever that
policy prevails pauperism
abounds. Garry out your pet
theory of Free Trade in this
country, and the same thing
will occur here. Labor must
be well paid, or else pauperism
is prevalent, and labor cannot
be well paid without protection.
Protection benefits labor more
than it does. capital, for the
capitalist can live without the
aid of labor, whereas labor can
not live without the aid of cap
ital. Set the wheels of all your
various manufacturing inter
ests agoing, by protection
against the pauper labor of
England, and the laboring man
will have plenty of work and
liberal pay. We are willing to
pay our share Of. the additional
cost of the manufactured article

have general prosperity, rather
than buy a few cents less per

perism. For these are the IS.
