oline Smith, 1921 east Main street, was
found dead in his room. On Thursday
morning at O'Clock, when she left home
for her days work, King complained of
feeling little unwell, but she paid very
little attention to it, as his sickness did not
appear to be serious. On returning home
at 7 O'Clock the same evening, she, to her
surprise, found the door locked. On enter
ing, King was sitting on chair, with his
head leaning on chest, cold and dead;
Coroner Trent was at once summoned ana

been no foul play in his death. but that IL
was caused from appoplexy. The deceased
having no money, he was ordered 10 DC
buried ut the expense OF the city.

There is more of truth than of poetry
in the following, cut from the New York
Tribune
The magazines are a very fair index to
what cultured people relish as mental
food, and it is an odd fact that one third
of the articles in the present mouths
issue are made up of personal gossip,
written by men for men. a glance over
the newspapers, too, will show, outside of
the merely delicately seasoned dishes
prepared for feminine readers, how much
is reserved for the delectation of the
(once) stronger sex, that deserves no
other name than scandal-takenr raw and
undiluted with any proportion of decen-
cy. Are we then becoming a race OF
gossips? Is it Mrs. Othello who has
lost her occupation, and is her lord to
take it up in lieu of his political rights
To prove that there is danger of such
result we need only follow the bearing OF
most political speeches and editorials.
When man achieves success enough to
obtain Office, or chance Of 1t, 1t Is not
his principles or integrity that Is i'm
pugned or defended, but his personal
habits. Whether he has led the ad-
vance, Thought OF his country for a
quarter of a century matters little, if it
can be proved that he is "dogmatic and
crusty in greeting his friends" Does
his father drabble his snuff on his shirt
and saw. II sect" and Il done p Has
he auy absorbing fancy for dogs, or was
he ever seen in a cock pit? Did he in
tend to become a sutler or grocer at a
certain date so many years agoE W hat
are his wifes habits, and is 1t true that
she has her dresses made by Worth =?
These are the questions which hun
dred of the clan jenkins perpetually
sniff and nose about the back doors OF
public houses to find answers for, which
will be published for tens OF thousands
of readers to gloat over, from senators
at their desks to the Joe Biglers III the
grocery. How long ago was 1t that
Beatrice told us that "men were turned
into tongues, and trim ones, too; he is
now as valiant as Hercules who only
fashions a lie and swears to 1t. A
thousand men can give date and place for
these petty personal matters for ten who
can explain intelligently the fundamen-
tai differences between the great political
parties. In fact, to such an extent has
this rage for gossip spread, that no con-
sideratiOn Of party success will seal the
mouth of the man who rolls delicate
tidbit of scandal under his tongue which
concerns one of his own political lead
ers. Women in their gossipping days
had an old warning for the bird never to
soil her own nest, but men are quite i'm
partial in their disregard of such nice
distinctions.

yyretchedness i'm England.

The condition of the children employ
ed in the brick yards in England has
been brought before Parliament by Lord
Shaftesbury, who proposes to extend to
them the protection of the factory acts.
According to these acts no child under
the age of eight years may be employed
in any handicraft, no child under thir-
teen years may be employed for more
than six and half hours day, and no
one under eighteen years, nor any wo-
man may be employed for more than
twelve hours a day. The brick yards,
however, have hitherto been exempt from
these provisions although nothing can
be more oppressive and revolving than
the condition of the children who are
employed in them, and the kind of work
they have to perform. About 10000
young persons varying in age from three
and half to seventeen, are engaged In
toll from fourteen to sixteen hours day,
carry on their heads Jumps of clay weigh
ing 40 pounds from the clay heap to the
table on which the bricks are made.
Lord Shaftesbury mentioned, among
other cases, a child eight years old who
carried forty three pounds weight of clay
on his head an average distance Of if-
teen miles daily and worked seventy
three hours a week. One of the in
spectors of factories says that child ten
years old will be required to remove
three and half tons of clay distance
of forty yards daily, traversing fourteen
miles in the course of his or her task.
Lord Shaftesbury described the poor
creatures from personal observation as
themselves almost transformed into Jumps
of clay tottering about half naked under
their burdens and compelled to enter
places SO hot and burning that he found
it impossible to stay there. The physi-
cal results are necessarily bad, but the
moral atmosphere of the brick fields is
even more appalling, men, women, and
children being brought down to point
of degradation and suffering like the
beasts of the field. The motion was
warmly supported by the Bishop of Lon
don and Lord Morley promised to in
troduce into the Factories Act Amend
ment bill, now before the House, clause
providing that no girl under the age of
sixteen and no boy under ten should be
employed in brick field under any cir
cumstanees.

Dubious About the New Depar-


The Detroit Post thinks the indica-
tions justify the fear that the Republican
divisions in Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts will help the democrats to a
triumph this fall 1t takes philoso-
phical view Of the situation, however, in
the following reflection:
But Democratic victory in these two
States, viewed from a Republican stand
point, is not to be deeply deplored. 1t
needs but two or three Democratic vic
tories TO set that party wild with excite
ment a successful campaign this Fall
would bring the real sentiment of the
party to the surface. The "new depar-
ture" disguise would be flung off The
party would reel with the intoxication of
triumph, and its language expose the
violent passions which are now partially
choked down, and are waiting only for
opportunity to find expression in words
and conduit. The reactionary influence
of a Democratic victory upon the Demo :
cratic parE this Fall would secure the
Presidency beyond peradventure to the
Repubhcahs next year.
What aworld of uneasiness thiss"new
departing lzsiness seems 70 be giving
the radical saints, and how eagerly they
seem to delude themselves with the hope
that it is disguise, and how keen they
are to be cure to have it thrown off, and
all that. Now, this new departure is
nothing more than wise conclusion to
accept the constitution as it is, or at least
not to permit the discussion of what is
past be made the issue between the tax
payers of the country and the rascals
who are rubbing them at Washington
and conspiring to turn our republican
government into central despotisms. If
the new departure is not big thing
why are the RAIDS SO dreadfully uneasy
about it?
