A Communist Revelation.

In letter from the London CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
we fnd this statement, which, perhaps,
some German reader will be able to
verify:
"There are beginning to be ugly
whispers against the good faith of the
Premier of the international himself,
DIR. Karl Marx, partly based upon his
having married German Countess.
He is man of ability, and has had a
long and various history in connection
with European politics. A radical in
London tells me that there is, in a
biography of the poet Heine, published
in America, curious passage, not to
be found in European books. about
Heine, In which Marx played part.
1t WIS discovered, believe, in 1848,
when the Republic came into power,
that Helne, who had passed the most
of his time at Paris, had sold his pen
to the previous French Government,
and had written against his own coun-
try. When Heine was called to an
account Tor tHlS, III IS salu tnaL MARX,
who was Heine's friend, advised the
poet to take the audacious line aud say
that he had taken the subsidy to aid
the distressed Germans in France.
But Heine, always impecunious, and
not very philanthropio, was at least no
hypocrite, and he said that he had
accepted the money to write as he did,
as man who is nearly frozen accepts
the first cloak he can get. cannot
youch for the truth of this story.

Sinking.

One of the most common. and at the
same time most dangerous habits that
persons are liable to acquire, is the
habit of shirking. When once acquired,
il in almost impossible to break it. The
student who shirks from the task of
study, shuffies from his recitation, and
is always behind in his studies. The
The mechanic who shirks from his
labor, both of mind and body, which is
absolutely essential to keep him fully
up in his trade. has no one to blame if
he fall In the rear of one who has the
nerve to labor and wait SO with all
other trades and professions. The man
who lacks the pluck to say Mo- when
tempted to do any wrong thing, but
shirks the responsibility by a halfway
yielding, throws himself into the
meshes of the Evil One as effcctualy
MS he who acquiesces without any reluc-
tance. The business man who knows
that it would be to his advantage to
advertise, but shirks from it because of
the little expense connected with it,
feels the effects of that negligence as
efectually as the man who wilfully
neglects the advantages derived there
from without making any excuse. No
sympathy should be allotted to the
Gshirk" in any manner, but the bold,
brave man who sees his duty, and see
ing, dares to do it, despite all opposi
tion, is worthy of all commentator.

A POWERFUL TEMPERANCE
LECTURE

occasionally paper not published
directly in the cause of temperance,
gives facts and figures which constitute
q powerful argument in favor of that
cause. In an issue Of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin appeared the following,
which brings directly before us for
consideration this great question rs q
fruitful source Of expenditure, without
any adequate remuneration
"The consumption of liquors in the
United States for the last year, as re-
ported from the National Bureau OF
Statistics wae, of whiskey sixty mil
lion gallons; imported spirits, two
and a half millions imported gin,
ten millions seven hundred thousand !;
and of ale, beer and porter, six and a
half millions of barrels. The quantity
Of native wines, brandies, etc, is not
given, but the value is estimated at
$3, 100000. For these liquors it is
estimated that the drinkers paid, 10
round numbers, s600,0o0,000. This
estimate only includes the straight"
liquors, chat is, those of the manuiac-
ture or importation of which regular
return for taxation was made. To it
should be added the product OF illicit
stills, and the liquors that were man.
ufactured by dilution and adulteration,
though the processes whereby strych>
nine and other "poisons' are added TO
give favor" to the water. Probably,
TO put this as equal to one sixth of the
amount duly reported would not be too
large an estimate, and it doubtless sold
at the same rate, which would make
the annual expenditure for liquors of
all sorts, 500, 600, 900, or over eighteen
dollars head for the entire population
The same amount annually applied in
payment of the National Debt would 10
little over four years exting guish it !;
or expended for educational purposes,
would provide ample facilities for Civ
ing first>class schooling to every child
in the country. What good came of
the swallowing of these liquors, suffci-
ent in volume to have foated good
sized craft, it would require very close
figuring to show, and very few figures
would doubtless suffice for the state
ment. How much evil would be no
less difficult to compute, but the result
would be powerful temperance argu
ment To those having turn for
speculation of the kind, these statistics
furnish almost inexhaustable material
be&ring upon such topics as wasted
wages, poverty, ruined health and pros
poets, degradation and crime"

TILTON ON DIVORCE.


Theodore Tilton writes to the Chi
cago Journal a letter, in which he ex-
presses himself very freely on the ques-
tion of divorce and marriage. We
condense few extracts, to show the
doctrine which he aud his CO workers
are taking such pains to disseminate
Not that we endorse them; far from il
but that our readers may be con-
vinced, from the writer's own pen, OF
the business of the charges which have
been made against him--that he was
teaching dangerous and pernicious
doctrine, which will, if followed out
lead to a system of legal concubinage
His language is clear, forcible and to
the point:
"My opinion is this, namely, that
there should be as little legislation
against divorce as there is against mar.
riage-as little legal restraint laid upon
the one as upon the other-as little in,
reference by the politicians at Spring
field or Albany with the one as with the
other.
In other words, would blot out our
forty different State codes of divorce
and leave marriage existing on the
statute book as civil contract-which
indeed, it now pretcnds to be, but is
not-and, as such, mako it obeisant
only to that ordinary theory of civil
contracts whose prime feature is disso.
lubility by mutual consent,
The only necessity to resort to any legal
tribunal would then be in the case OF
one party desiring to bind, and the
other to be unbound; in which instance
the contract would be adjudicated like
any other contraction its merits, and
according to equity and right
All questions growing out of the
rights of property and the maintenance
OF children would continue to stand
as they do now--on an independent
legal basis of their own Except that,
as our present laws are too prone to give
the property and children to the father
rather than to the mother, they should
be amended in the suffering wife i
behalf"

How ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS ARR
MADE.-Artific cial diamonds are made
of peculiar glass called strass This
glass has property of refracting light
in the same way as the diamond, and
its manufacture has been carried to
such perfection that an ordinary OBJ
server cannot distinguish gems made
of it from real diamonds. After o few
years, these diamonds tend to erystalize,
so that in ten years they become 'urbid
and lose all their lusire. These stones,
however can always b. distinguished by
q practical lapidary by various tests, such
as hardness and peculiarities in cutting.
Diamonds are also Initiated by n system
called blockage, in which very thin
slab of diamond is cementcd to some
stone such as quartz or white topaz,
Other reas stonoo, such us zireon and
topaz, when they are colored, or only
slightly colored, are passed off as dia-
monds. IL is generally supposed that
diamonds are white, but they are of all
colors. False diamonds are made al,
most entirely in Paris, Alaska and
California diamonds are only quartz or
rock quartz.

FROZEN TO DEATH.

The Kansas City Times of December
10Th says:
"While the region adjacent 10 Kan>

mer weather, the people Of Colorado,
Western Kansas and Nebraska are
suffering untold horrors from deep
SHOWS and biting cold winds. Every
day reports are received of more hor.
rors from the plains west of Omaha,
of trains buried in snow, roads blocked
up, families frozen to death, stock
perishing, ng,-and as yet not half is told
Gentlemen who came on the Kansas
City, Saint Joseph and Council Bluffs
Road yesterday, inform us that on
Sunday last terrible affair occurred
in Saline County, Nebraska. A party
of immigrants, with their families,
were passing through the county west
ward, when the cold constantly in>
creasing, they concluded to camp and
light fire. They were on piece of
high prairie, and several miles from
any house, but some three miles from
them was piece of timber. After
unhitching their teams the men started
for this timber, to procure fuel. Not
returning for several hours. the women
left their children and started to hunt
them. This is all that is known,
save that next day the bodies of seven
teen persons who bad perished from
the intense cold we're found. The
children who were left in the wagons
were the only survivors of the party
who had started to procure homes in the
West.
