if the weather is warm. take instead a

A VAST TERRITORY. Once there was a
man-so goes the storv-who drove II
yoke of oxen from Maine to California,
II is asserted that he is the only person
who has correct idea of the size of the
United States. Be that as it may, few
people realize the vastness of our terri
torial area. Colorado, for example, is
thirteen times us large as Massachusetts,
and Dakota is as large again as Colorado
The eleven Territories, rs accurately as
can at present be ascertained, contain
over one billion and a quarter of acres

A NOVEL BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. --
Rather novel case of breach of promise
was tired in the Wayne Mich. Circuit
Court some short time since. A divorced
wife, named Mary A. Dexter, sought
substantial damages at the hands Of Il
very respectable jury for the failure of
master bricklayer, named Andrew
Monroe, to make good his promise of
marriage. In some respects the case
was not unlike the celebrated one Of
Bardell VS.. Plckwick." Mrs, Dexter,
it appears, has lively daughter, who is
now vergiug upon her tenth year, Mon
roe had once the misfortune to take this
young lady on his knee and ask her,
confideutiNlly, of course, how she would
be disposed toward him provided he be-
came her father. The counsel for the
plaintiff submitted this circumstance ms
evidence of his intention; but the jury
did not seem to think that Mrs. Dexter
had suffered much by the disappoint-
ment, and after ten minutes delibera-
ton, returned into court with verdict
for $500 Now the most extraordinary
part of the story consists in the act that
Mrs. Dexter had been divorced from her
first husband because of his neglect and
cruelty and the first wife of Monroe had
obtained her release from the CALLING
chains of matrimony for precisely the
same reason.

SOCIAL INTERCOURSE FOR FARMERs.-
Farmers necessarily live at considerable
distances from each other. and in consc-
quence of this and their habits of steady
labor, confne themselves too much to
their own fields and tiresides. They and
their families need recreation, need
pleasures, need something to counteract
the effect Of the constant labor in which
they are engaged. The mechanic in the
village or city has his mind frequently
drawn away from his work by that which
is going on around him but the farmer,
being differently situated, finds nothing
to break up the mOnotony, unless he
seeks for it elsewhere. 1t is quite prob.
able that more work would be accom-
plished, and better tone of feeling be
experienced, to say nothing of the more
cheerful countenance which would be
worn, if half day each week were
given to social intercourse with fellow
farmers instead of devoting six full days
each week to unremitting labor. After
"A day spent pleasantly away from home,
the labor is not so irksome-the laborer
is happier. Allowing that as much was
not accomplished by giving little time
to relaxation, it should be borne in mind
that food and raiment for the family,
forage for the stock, and money for the
bank, are not the only things worth striv-
ing for We need happiness. But if a
portion of this time be given to wide
awake farmers club, ideas will be gained,
practical knowledge acquired, viii h in
time will bring about results far in excess
of those which will be realized by the
farmer who does not improve these op.
poItunitles.

Is THE HOG STUPID. The hog has the
name of being the most stupid of ami
mails and yet the reputation is far from
deserved. Many instances might be
mentioned where hog showed itself us
tractable as the most intelligent of dogs.
The gamekeeper of Sir Henry Midway
actually broke black SOW to hunt game
in the woods and she ran IN the hunt
with wonderful success. She would
track game, back and stand, and point
cartridges, pheasants, snipes, and rabbits
as skilfully as a bred pointer. She would
bound in response toa whistle, and would
wag her head and squeal with delight on
being shown gun.

NOT P1EAsANT.-A Pittsburg family
had rather unpleasant interruption the
other morning, just as they were getting
ready to dress. A freight car loaded with
pig.iron jumped the track IN that city
one morning recently, and rushed full
Roadway into a neighboring house, COM
pletely demolishing it. The inmates,
woman and three children crawled from
the ruins somewhat bewildered, but UNI
harmed, with the exception of few
bruises. Hearing shouts just before the
car struck the house, the woman, who
was in q bed, arose and extinguished a
kerosene lamp which was burning. A
sensible act, which, doubtless, saved the
lives of herself and children.

SPARRows. 1T has been stated that
English sparrows have recently appear
ed in Rockland, Me. They are believed
to have einigrated from Boston Com
mon, where they were driven off by the
butcher birds and sparrow hawks. How
these little creatures got to Rookland is
somewhat of a mystery, as that town is
40 miles from Boston. They may have
followed along the coast, or have taken
passage on some of the steamboats, OF
sailing packets which ply on the coast
There are examples of such emigration
ON record.

A project is under discussion to take a
hundred of the New York public-school
girls on tour to Europe next summer.
The passage from New York to Liverpool
and return will not be more than $50
apiece, and the Continent can be seen
for another hundred.

At Boston wedding recently, the
sexton made mistake in the evening,
thinking it the following week, and when
the bridal party arrived at the church
they found the doors closed and the
place in perfect darkness. The ceremony
was soemnized in the church after an
hours waiting in the carriages at the
door.

Found OUT.-Apropos to the strictly
confidential letters about counterfeit
currency, a good many are received now
a-days. The Buffalo Express relates the
following incident; One daya man en-
tered the Police Superintendent private
Office and asked to see Mr.. Doyle. The
courteous chief motioned him to il chair
and asked him to state his case, for the
visitor seemed in a greatly perturbed
state OF mind. "Mr. Doyle, he began.

"A celebration Of the third centennial OF
Presbyterianism took place in Philadelphia 10
conformity with a recommendation 10 tnat
effect of the General Assembly OF the North
ern Presbyterian Church, which met In Detroit
last May. The centennial thus celebrated ls
understood to be that OF the English organfza-
tion, the Presbyterians claiming that the re-
formed churches on the continent have SUD-
stantially the same ecclesiastical system as
their own, differing only In minor Details ana
also that their own form of church govern
ment was the primitive form. The Presoyter
rian Church of Scotland had its remote origin
In the first Introduction Of the principles OF
the reformation into that country about 1877.
The establishment OF Presbyterianism In Scot
land was ratified by an act Of Parliament III
1890. The Presbyterian Church In tne oniteo
States is considered daughter of the Church
of Scotland. Presbyterlans began to emlgrate
from Scotland and the north of Ireland to the
American colonies as early as 1889. The Pres
byterian denomination has embraced some OF
the leading minds In the United States as wen
as Scotland.

lottery tickets. The concerns, moreover,
are owned in the North, and what they
squeeze from the rash speculator fits quickly
out OF the State. There is no doubt that the
lotteries in question discourage habits of
industry and foster and encourage crime. -
It seems clear that the two companies
have not authority to do what the State Con-
stitution expressly forbida-"the sale OF lot
ssterytlckets"-but, whether or no, the Legis-
lature can soon cut the knot A majority OF
the members OF the General Assembly are
colored men, and they can shut up the lot
teries with the certainty that they are cor
recting glaripg abuse, and saving the poor
and ignorant from falling prey to one OF
the most one-sided schemes OF the day.
The laboring man must have fair play, and
be taught besides that he must depend on
his own exertions for making a living and
climbing the social ladder. But thousands
20 wrong and fall by the wayside, when the
lottery concerns hold out to them the possi-
bility OF growing rich in night. Hunting
for needle in hay-stack is lucrative
occupation as compared with hunting for
prize combination in lottery wheel. Thou
sands do not see it; each expects to be the
favored OF fortune. Let the Legislature
step in asd protect them against themselves.

The wheels OF Misfortune.

The State Constitution expressly prohib-
it's "lotteries, and the sale Of lottery tickets
''ior any purpose;" yet there are In Charles
ton two lottery concerns In full blast. They
have charters from the State Legislature
giving them call the rights Of corporations
'known as banks" and they have the
right to dispose Of their real and personal
estate Gin any manner and on such condi-
"tions" as they 'aay see fit and proper"
For these extensive privileges the compa-
MES pay an annual tax, which probably
does not amount to the clear gains OF one
days whirring of thewheel.
1t is not hard to see that the two lottery
concerns are doing Charleston serious
harm. Their principal customers are COL
ored men and boys, who stake their halves
and quarters, morning after morning, in the
vain expectation OF receiving back ten,
twenty or hundred times what they put
down. Now and then the purchaser OF a
combination does make lucky hit, but
hundreds lose for every one that wins. The
chances are overwhelmingly in favor OF the
dealers; the profits Of faro are Insignificant
in comparison with the profits Of well
managed lottery. Unfortunately the COL
ored people have a strong natural liking for
gambling. They crave excitement, and
hope en- until the last dime is gone.
Their earnings are swept away in few mo-
ments, and it is not strange ii, in many in
stances, the losers are tempted to tap tills
and rob hen-roosts to provide the means
for fresh ventures. And whites as well as
blacks fall victims. There is no telling how
many Of the petty robberies which give en-
ployment to the courts are due to buying

state Convention. and Legislatures.

The question as to the powers Of legIsla-
ture to limit or restrict the powers of State
constitutional convention has again been de-
cided by the Pennsylvania State Convention,
now in session, by vote In the negative OF
one hundred and ak to eighteen. State
constitutional convention is the most direct
and highest power known in State, and It's
powers and duties are entirely dlssimilar to
those of the Legislature. It is the constl-
tuted will of the people for the purpose OF
forming the organic law Of the State. While
on the other hand the Legislature has only
the power to codify and make laws In accord
ance with such constitution as is framed by
the constitutional convention. 1t Is true that
legislatures are the only legal means by which
constitutional conventions are called, but
when called 1t is the creation of the people,
holding their highest delegated powers, and
entirely Independent of any legislative re-
strictons.
