Surgeon on American Lecturing.

The other day Mr.. Sturgeon
gave an. account of the invitations
he had received 10 go to America.
81 will tell you," he said, zone
little thing that happened to me
this afternoon. l had q letter
from a gentleman well known in
America, giving me this offer,
$4,000 for twenty-five lectures
that is f200 for each lecture. On
these terms the twenty-five lee
lures would give me $4,000, and
that in a hundred nights l should
have $4,000. Besides this I
should be allowed to lecture for
as many more nights as chose,
SO that [ might, in the course of
year be worth $4,000, and no
doubt the persons who undertake
this would earn ten times the
amount.
" l have nothing to do but to
leave you for year, and come
home with twenty or forty thou
sand pounds, while if stay here
1 shall have nothing like that.
What do suppose was my answer
to this ofior? l wrote: .'If you
were to multiply that offer by one
hundred times, and again by one
hundred times, l should feel it just
as easy to decline as 1 do now,
when l say 1 cannot cross the
ocean to lecture on any subject
whatever. / am minister of the
Gogpel, and never lectured for
money, and don't intend to do SO
now; and If my people do not
support me, it is Il pity Some
people would say, why not go over
to America and get the money to
build the college. I shall not do
so, because / shall not do one
thing to disgrace myself nor de-
grade you. l shall not make any
appeal to another country to do
what you can and ought to do.
There are two brothers here to-
night who have received offers
from America. Each man can
lecture as well as preach, and there
is no harm in having 500 pounds
and holiday. If ] were in their
position 1 should do the same
thing; but cannot leave the col
lege, nor the orphanage, not if nay

gold from top to bottom. l should

should not go to preach the Cos
pei, but to lecture; and l cannot
do this, no, not for the national

LOVE IN A Box.-The intelli-
gence of = novel elopement has
just reached us from New Wind
sor, Maryland. A young and en-
terprising mechanic Of that place
fell desperately in love, and re-
solved to marry very handsome
but young daughter of a wealthy
merchant residing in the same
place. Everything was looking
immensely prosperous for the
young couple, when the girls faith
err discovered she had recently be-
come very fond of going out
o'nights, and also the cause. He
Immediately made a visit to one
of his single sisters, accompanied
by his decidedly unwilling daugh-
ter, and negotiations were entered
into for the aunt to take charge of
the dear little creature till her pas
sion had subsidized. Having the
highest confidence in his sisters
ability to perform the task salts
factoTily, he returned home, Ieay-
ing the girl, and looking as though
quite a load had been removed
from his mind. The girl being
fully determined to marry or die,
made good her escape the first
night Of her bondage, returned to
her lovers home, found him walk
ing the door of his shop, and in q
short time after their happy greet
ing was over, the young man might
have been seen hnrrying toward
his fathers stable. In a couple Of
minutes, horse and spring wagon
was drawn up to the shop door
and as daylight-tle sworn foe te
elopers-was making its appear.
ance, large box was thrown hast
lily into the wagon, full Of small
air holes, prepared expressly FOL
the occasion, and the girl crawied
into that, was hauled some tMentl
miles over a rough pike to another
town, and there was married.

This is so much tax upon

This is so much tax upon the
farmers which they can avoid by
combining and buying at first hands.
Again, the farmers products go
| through as many hands In reaching
the consumer--tlle manufacturers
and their employees; and here,
again, they pay a large percentage
| to support 3 crowd of middiemen.
All this we have called commerce,
but it will be called commerce Just
the same when the farmer does his
own business and leaves out the
middlemen.
The State Grange of Missouri
leads the van in obtaing supplies,
which State Graz ge viii lead the
van in marketing grain /? They were
shown in these columns few days
ago how this may be done so as to
give farmers more for their grain
and make them masters instead of
subjects of the market. Let the
officers o. the State Oranges, or
the National Grange, post them
selves concerning the condition
of the crops and the probable
yield, as grain dealers would
do. Their facilities for OBJ
tanning reports are much better than
heretofore employed, as they have
only to secure reports from local
oranges, where they can be made
up from individual statement. BY
this means they can come nearer the
actual state of the crop than any
body has been able to do. They
can thus tell about what the price
will be. Then let the farmers, when
their grain is harvested, store it in
warehouse for sixty or ninety
days, taking a receipt, and use this
as collateral in obtaining money to
buy his supplies with, selling his
grain only after it has advanced as
it always does by that time, and as
they can make it do by this system.
This will dispense with a great |
many middlemen, all of whom have |
some capital. 1t will thus set free |
from what we call commerce the |
capital we need to build manufacto-
ries. The great obstacle in the way |
of manufacturing is the lack of
money. This will provide it and |
Will thus further benefit the farmers.
In this line lies the true policy for |
the PatI ons, not in politics, and it |
is to be hoped that they will devote |
their efforts to remcdying their ills /
by controlling the laws of trade,
rather than by seeking to control |
trade with political laws.
