Notes and Comments.

1T was 10 Missouri that the Liberal
movement had its origin, and there 1t at.
tanned its highest fruitiou. And It's fruits are
reported to be anything but healthy and in.
vigoratng. The treasury is depleted, the
obligations Of the State are going to pro-
test, disorder is prevalent, and there is a
general condition Of mismanagemeut This
result has sickened many Of those who con-
tributed to it, and they are now as ready to
desert the Liberal movement as they were
to join it.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean proposes TO

As an earnest Of It's own spirit, the Inter.
Ocean very generously contributes $1,000
to begin the enterprise donation large
enough to ensure some happiness to the
children. But there is no doubt that it
will be followed up by liberal contributions
from citizens, and that the grand success Of
New York will be repeated.
The FIRE at Burlington, Iowa, Is quite
a severe blow to that thriving city, though
fortunately it scarcely touched the business

we're suddenly turned out Of their homes.
Most of the buildings destroyed were old
frame structures, the most valuable being

amount Of about onc-third

The conviction Of Miss Susan b. An
thony, on the charge of illegal voting, has
been followed by the inficton of a fine
of hundred dollars. The penaltyis mere.
ly nominal, and is imposed simply as a mat.
ter Of form under the law. Neither the
Judge nor the public cares that Miss An.
thony shall suffer any punishment. Though
guilty of technical crime, her offense in
volyed no moral wrong, and the object both
of herself aud her prosecutors was simply
to secure judicial determination of the
questions at issue.
The result is only what was expected,
and what everybody,-includng the warm
est friends of Miss Anthony and of woman
suffrage ought to have desired However
zealously they may seek the practical appl-
cation of the principle they advocate, they
cannot wish its success upon any mere sub
terfuge or techuicality. If they are to
have 1t atall, they want it, or ought to want
it, as deliberate concession Of a favoring
public sentiment which would sustain it.
Everybody knows that neither Congress
in passing the Constitutional amendments,
nor the States in ratifying them, had the
slightest idea that they could ever be tor
tured into an establishment Of woman suf.
irage. There was no such intention. II
such construction could be put upon them,
it would VIGOROUSLY be against the design
of those who framed and adopted them.
And SO we repeat, that even the ardent
champions of female suffrage ought to be
grat6ed with the result

The British Parliament has finally
voted al appropriation for the adjudicated
Alabama claims. There was only the
slightest opposition made, and the speech
of Mr.. Gladstone was siDgularly noble
one. And what is still BETTER it was re-
ceiyed with the most emphatic expressions
Of approval. In reply to the men who ap-
peared to deem fratricidal war a thing es.
sential to the maintenance of the national
honor, he claimed that the fifteen millions
Of dollars they were required to pay was
not worthy of a thought in the presence OF
the great accomplished fact that peace and
good will has been preserved between
England and America, and a new example,
worthy Of Christian nation, set before
the world. "The applause which followed
the expression Of this evidently heartfelt
opinion cannot fail to find an echo at every
Christian Preside in Old England" says
the Christian World And We may add,
will fud au echo at every Christian Preside
in America.

Notwithstanding the famine which so
recently swept over Persia and so impoyer-
ished the people that urgent appeals were
made to Americans to send over money to
keep them from starving, the Shah proposes
to spend s25,000,000 in his presut Eu-
rOpean trip. Evidently the Shah did
not divide all his substance with his SUBJ
jects when they were dying from starvation.
A good many people take European tours
with less than s25,00O,O0O for pocket
money, but everybody is not a Persian
Shah, and the Shah proposes to travel in a
regal way, especially since no Persian po.
tentate since the days of Xerxes has visit.
ed Europe. He seems to be making good
use of his trip in visiting the great indus
trial and manufacturing centers, and as he
is apparently more intent on business than
upon royal junketing, his lavish expendit-
ure of money may in the end prove a good
Investment for his subjects.

An enterprising effort to establish

after long career Of i'll success, come TO
sad ending, Asahel D. Piper was an en-.
thusiast on the subject of developing the

Of land from the Bolivian government they
embarked in the enterprise. But they met
little beside. encouragement from the out.

their ranks, some Of them became disguised
and returned home, and it was not long DO.
fore Piper found himself almost alone. A
few remained with him, however, and he
went into the rubber business, but his 10.
domitable spirit refused TO surrender the
hope Of finally carrying out his plans. lie
had induced others to join him, and was on
the point of making another effort for sue

massacred by Amazonian Indians. The
tragedy is very sad one, and there are
few who will not deplore the fate of A. ID.
Piper and his unfortunate comrades.

Illinois Farmers Movement.

Concerning the movement of the Iii.
nois farmers upon the judiciary, the New
York Graphic remarks, in their defense,
that the ground on which an elective judici.
airy has been defended is, that public in.
terests apd rights are Of vastly more ac-
count than the techncalities of law and
that, on the whole, justice is more likely
to be done by the common sense and the
common sentiment Of community than by
a class Of men trained in legal technical.
ties, aud professionally isolated from the
great body Of the people. 1t was felt that
the interests Of justice would be advanced
by introducing a popular element into the
judiciary, and soatchiug great questions out
Of the grooves Of narrow routine and the
grip Of profession which looks at every.
thing through legal microscope which con.
coas more than it reveals, into the public
arena and in open day, to be decided on
grounds Of public utility and intrinsic jus.
ticc. Judge fancy pronounced his cele.
bratcd decision on technical grounds but
the people instinctively felt that he had
smitten justice by an Interpretation which,
however in accordance with law, was a
violation Of the fundamental principles of
liberty; and they reversed his decision.
They decided that a negro has rights which
a white man is bound TO respect. The far
mers Of the West are an intensely practical,
matter-oi-lact, sagacious people. They are
not given to fighting wind.mills, nor tying
their boats to moonbcams, nor beating their
brains out in testing the law of grayitation.
They are oppressed with a real and tangible
grievance and while they honestly mean
to respect every right Of every corporation.
they insist that the charters Of these corpo.
rations shall be read in the light Of public
interests, and interpreted in accordance
with the principles Of common Justice.
They contend that there are certain bottom
rights which the State has not parted with,
and which the Legislature has no authority
to impair, underlying the charters in ques-
ton and they appeal from the letter of
the statute.book to this unwritten law Of
popular rights.

The statements in reference to the
shocking traffic in Italian children which
have lately been made, seem almost incredi.
Bile, but the Italian consul general gives
them full confirmation, and says the hall
has not been told. The little ones are
stolen from their homesin Italy, and brought
to this country, where they are sold to par,
ties who live upon their earnings and treat
them shameiully. 1t is stated that there
are several thousand of these youthful slaves
in tho United States who earn comfort
able living for their owners as street
musicians aud beggars. The system is AZ
bad as the old African slavery, and now
that the facts are known, it will doubtless
be broken up.

The theory that Gen. Grant is die
tator, and that Congress only registers his
DEGREES, has long been a favorite one with
the opposition. Yet it is wholly inconsist-
ent with the facts Gen. Grant asked
Congress to embody civil service reform in
law, but il refused. He asked them to
take some action in the Louisiana matter !;
but it did not. He urged it to pass some
measure to facilitate the Operations of the
Federal laws in Utah ; but it omitted to
do SO. The consequences which the Presi.
dent predicted in the latter case have come
about. The courts are substantially at q
stand, because legal juries cannot be OBJ.
tanned, and the criminal law of the Terri.
tory is as good as void for the time being.
Nor is there any apparent remedy available
until the opening Of Congress.

Vice President Wilson has been seri.
ously i'll, but the whole public will be glad
to learn that he is rapidly recovering. His
illness was caused by that which is pros.
trating so many Of our public men-over-
work. Ilo has done enough in the past
few years to kill any man. His labors in
the last campaign alone were prodigious,
and nothing but strong constitution aud
excellent habits has enabled him to stand
such exhaustiug strains upon The system.
Few men have such capacity for continu.
Gus toll as Mr.. Wilson, and few have put
1t to so severe test. The country will
rejoice to hear of his convalescence, for he
has strong hold upon its confidence and
regard. Attempts have been made to shake
its faith in him, but they have all signal.
ly failed.

1t noteworthy that New Hampshire
is the only Northern state which has any.
thing like a religious test in its consttu.
ton. BY it the governor, members of the
governors council, senators aud representa-.

10 1850 constitutional convention was
held, and among many other changes, the
abrogation Of the sectarian provision was
proposed The people, however, voted
down every amendment save that which
abolished the property qualification in re.

VICE President WILsoN-A correspou-
dent of the Springfield Republican, writing
from the home of Mr.. Wilson, says:-
Whatever hopes may be entertained con-
corning his health, it is evident that the in
cossant strain of last summers hard cam.
paign, and the added and singing trial Of
severe and unjust reproaches, have greatly
overtaxe1 his constitution. 1t is touching
TO sec his very plain modest little home 10
Natick, which is the sole result Of all the
easy opportunities that our honest tnd hard.
working vice president has had o enrich
himself, and to think that his wearied spirit,
unnerved and overweight by sich long
and patient and laborious devotion as pub
lie servant, should be so keenly cut by the
taunts that have been hurled at him like
poisoned arrows His case is another sad
illustration Of the unsatsfactoriness Of po-
litical success But it must be a great
solace to Mr.. Wilson to be assured as he is
Of the universal confidence and hearty re-
spect and affection of his fellow .townsmen. /"
The same correspondent adds the fol-
lowing:
On the eastern border of Matte is Oldtowu,
famous for memories OF John Elliot and Sam
Lawson, and various other figures of renown
through Indian history and the pen of Harriet
Beecher Stowe; and just beyond Oldtown lies
the magnificent estate of Mr. Hunnewell,
which, with its beautiful grounds and Italian
villa garden, displays, perhaps, the finest speci-
men Of horticulture and landscape gardening
in New England The rhododendrons and
azaleas which now adorn Boston Common are
chiefly from these grounds On the opposite
border of the lake, on q no less superb situa-
ton, rises, nearly finished, the palstal struc-
ture of Wellesley Female College, about five
hundred feet in length, and correspondingly
grand in all its proportions. Ii is said to cost
half a million, and to be prOspectively en-
d0wed by as much more, comprising the whole
colossal fortune of Mr.. Durant, its founder,
the once eminent Boston criminal lawyer, and
now the lay preacher and philanthropst. 1t
is happy omen for woman's cause that such
splendid institutions are rising on every hand
to welcome her upward progress. This Wei
lesley College, so magnifcenty situated
adorned and endowed, is said to be designed in
Mr.. DuRnt's intentions for the special benefit
of the middling and less wealthy classes.

Breeding to Young les.

Notwithstanding it is the general opin-
ion that a mare can be bred 10 a horse
when she attains her third year, it is by
no means safe to follow it as a rule. Breed
ers forget to take into account the differ
ences of climate, soil, parentage, ETC., and
the great influence they must necessarily
exercise in the development of the ami
NAL frame. The fact is patent to the most
casual observer that, in bluegrass regions
of Kentucky and Tennessee, the horse, as
a general thing, is as fully developed at
three years old as in Maine and Vermont
at four. Assuming this to be correct, it
follows that three-year-old filly in the
New England States cannot have arrived
at full maturity at that age, and hence is
unfit to be sent to the stud, There are, OF
course, exceptions, but these very eXcep.
tons go far TO prove the force of the rule
Whenever it occurs that the foal robs the
dam of some portion of the nourishment
destined by nature to develop the materi
sl frame, the result being puny offspring
and permanent injury to the mother, the
