Without a Newspaper.

Nothing presents sadder commenta-
ry upon the present condition of society
than the large numbers of families,
both in town and in the country, but
more especially in the latter, that sub
scribe to no paper of any kind. How
many families are thus growing up ut
terly ignorant of what is transpiring in
the world around them-ignorant of
the mighty events of the day. But
who can tell the vast amount of injury
thus inflicted upon the rising genera
tion-those who are to take places in
the busy world at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge of
the present, or any study of the
past this ignorance, too, being imbu-
ed into them by the sanction of
those who should, and doubtless do
know better, did they only think of
the injurious effects of their insane
course. Let the head of the family
think of this and place in the hands
for whom he is responsible, the means
of acquiring some knowledge of the mo-
wing panorama in which we act our
different parts.-Erchdnge.

The Grange.

The American Grocer, a staunch ad-
vocate of the Grange, if not one ofthe
first movers in its organization, says
"One of our correspondents this
week mentions a matter of especial in
terest at this time, and instead of an
swering it under that head, we call at
tention to it here, as we wish 1t to be
prominently noticed. 1t is a charge by
a retail grocer against the farmers of
the West for including in their cru
sade against railroad extortions a CO.
operative movement for purchasing
supplies direct from wholesale houses,
thereby ignoring the retailers. Against
this we most emphatieally protest.
Gentlemen farmers, we, both merchants
and farmers, are in the same category
as against the railroads. We respect
fully suggest thatyou will not strength
en- your case by antagonizing the retail
grocers and country merchants. They
are an absolute necessity for you. The
price of their goods is increased to you
by railroad extortions. If you succeed
in getting your grain to market at a
cheaper rate, they will not get their
goods at cheaper price. Let the fight
be made unitedly. Let every man who
has anything at stake stand side by
side, and do not let us get to fighting
among ourselves" 4"

Patrons of Husbandry.

Society should be divided into two
classes, viz: producers and manufae-
turers. OF course editors, ministers,
dsctors, lawyers, etc., have their places
in society, but they are not middle men.
There is enc class that may be called
middle men, that is strictly necessary,
viz: railroad and steamboat companies.
These middle men who have capital
here, can GO to manufacturing oil, pa
per, starch, ropes or something that we
need in Nebraska. There are several
manufacturing establishments needed,
to-wit: fax seed oil mills, paper mills,
rope mandatory, etc. Each of these
would have q vast amount of shipping
each way We want more manufaetO-
ries, more railroads, more steamboats,,
In short more everything, except mid
die men of these we can spare at
least 500 per cent. and get along far
better. We want competition in rail-
road companies, competition in manu-
factories, and they want competition
in farming, so that we can all get what
we want at actual cost price, One IL
lustration is sufficient to show that
middle men are worse than useless to
the farmer. sell car load of wheat,
$50 bushels, at Ashlands at so cents
per bushel, and get s315 in cash, and
lay that 1915 out in muslin in Ashland

bushels, to Lowell, Mass, and get -

The Woman Tinkers.

What the women want, who call
themselves reformers, appears very
plainly in the statements put forth at
a recent public meeting in Boston.
Laura Cuppy Smith had no objection
to Christianity as taught by Christ.
She charged the immortality of the
day upon the respectable people who
compose our best society. Pulpit and
press were controlled by a power be-
hind them, as she claimed, and ca
tered to the popular taste without re-
gard to truth. Mrs. Smith closed her
speech with a glowing and enthusiastic
reference to some of the Jesus Christs
of modern times, including Theodore
Parker, John Brown, Tom Paine, and
Victoria G.. Woodruff, the name of the
latter being greeted with prolonged ap'
plause.
The woman movement has gone tC
seed. There is no propriety IN speak
ing of it as anything else than an or
ganization against God and man
When a public meeting in Boston
with women in it, applauds person
who classes Jesus Christ and Victori;
Woodruff together, as worthy of hon
or. we may well believe that the cause
of 'woman's rights" has sunk to the
| lowest depths of shame. 1t speaks
well for the law-abiding sense Of the
CITY of Boston, that such a speech al
that of Cuppy Smith did not secure fol
Cuppy popular expression of indilg
nant contempt. Probably her inslg
nificance and desire for martyr con
spicuity shielded her from any notice
But we believe that the nadir of mora
degradation has been reached, and w
shall always hereafter see at the bot
tom of heap, the names of VictOrl;
Woodruff and Cuppy Smith. If tn.
other women Of the party can worl
with such, they must expect to b
known, as men are, by the compan
they keep.-Ne,o York Observer.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more than toll or sor-
row. Obedience to fashion is a great
er transgression of the laws of wo-
mans nature, greater injury to the
physical and3mental constitution than
the hardships of poverty and neglect.
The slave woman at her task still lives
and grows old, and sees two or three
generations of her mistresses pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarcely a ray
ofhope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see her fashionable sisters all
extinct. The kitchen maid is hearty
and strong, when the lady has to be
nursed like sick baby. 1t is sad
truth that fashion-pampered women
are always worth less for all good ends
of life; they have but little force Of
character they have still less power
ofmoral will, and quite as little phys
ical energy. They live for no great
ends. They are dolls, formed in the
hands of milliners and servants to be
fed in order. If they raise children,
servants do all save to conceive and
give them birth; and when reared,
what are they? what do they amount
to but weak scions of old stOck?-
Read the biographies of our good
men and women. None of them had
a fashionable mother,

Astor, Stewart and Yanderbilt-the
Three richest Men In America.

The three richest men in America
are VIM. B. Astor, A. T.. Stewart, and
Commodore Vanderbilt-all residents
of New York City. Astor's wealth is
mainly in real estate and its revenues ;
Vanderbilt's is mainly in railroad
stocks and their dividends Stewards
is In goods, houses, stores, factories,
lands, and stocks. The aggregate
wealth of each one of them is supposed
to be somewhere between seventy-fve
and hundred millions, which looks
rather heavy. Nobody knows exactly;
they couldn't tell themselves within a
million or two. Those who know
most about their business put their
figures highest, and say that the in
come tax returns of a few years ago,
which showed each of them to be
worth between twenty and thirty mil
lions, gave no proper idea of their real
wealth. AstOr lives unostentatiously
Vanderbilt lives in a three-story brick
house on a third-class street; and
Stewart lives in a marble palace on
Fifth avenue, more magnificent than
any other residence on the American
Continent, and equalled by but few in
any of the great cities of Europe. As
tor and Vanderbilt are New Yorkers
by birth Stewart is a native of the
north of Irela6d. Astor is a large,
heavy man ofseventy, with strong fea-
lures and rubIcund face, indicative
Of high living; Stewart is a medium
sized man, rather slender and tall, with
a face like parchment, and gives the
impression OF being hard up; Wander
bilt is tall, slim, handsome, proud
looking man of nearly eighty, straight
as an arrow. Astor has heirs to his
estate. Vanderbilt has children to
whom he can leave his fortune; but
Stewart is childless. Astors public
benefactions are confined to something
like a couple of hundred thousand
dollars, which he gave to the Astor
library, and the two golden candle
sticks, nine feet high, which he recently
gave to Trinity Church. Vanderbilt
has never made any public benefac-
tions, excepting a steamship to the
Government during the war, till very
recently, when he gave million dol
lars for educational purposes-one half
of this sum to found a university in
Tennessee, and the other half to an
other educational institution. Stew
art has had the reputation of being
very close-fsted; but he must be cred
tied with his million dollars Home
for Women" which will be completed
next year. Astor is an independent
and Stewart is said to be
inclined to thinking for himself
Stewart is scholarly man; Wander
bilt is not. Astor is an accomplished |
man of the world"

A YOUNG LADY AND PoULTRY.-In
Concord, Delaware Co., N. Y, 1T is re-
portedin the local paper that farmer s
daughter, last year, commenced in the
spring with sixty hens of the common
breeds, and two cocks of the Cochin
family. From these she raised to 800
chickens. During the season she sold
eggs to the amount of $50, and from
September Both to the 18th of Janu-,
ary, she fatted and sold $50 pairs OF
fowls for $500. thus receiving for eggs
and chickens $3.50. The time occu-
pied in caring for her poultry was
about two hours day. The exercise
was healthful, and the change from the
montony of indoor duties was highly
pleasing.

The Sexes in Crime.

DIR. Edward Jarvis, of Boston, read a
paper before the Social Science Con-
vention, at its late session, on the ratio
of sex in crime. He stated that GRIM
inal statistics in this country and Eng
land show that the crimes of male
offenders are mostly against persons
and property, in which the aggressors
intended to crafty or benefit them
selves at the expense of others. On
the other hand more than three-fourths
of the offenses of females are against
their own health, peace and interest
crimes of sensuality, as the doctor
termed them, which require no aid OF
the intellect, no plan, no purpose, no
reason. Hence he says that the crimes
ofmen are mainly crimes of selhshness,
while those of women are crimes OF
self-sacrifice. Women, he asserts,
repeat their offenses more frequently
than men; 100 males went to
prison 1S2 times, and 100 females were
imprisoned 1854 times. The offenses
of males are of graver nature and
more injurious to society, while the
great majority of female offenses are
comparatively harmless to society. The
Doctor said, however, that even in the
ofenses of intemperance and sensuali-
ty the male offenders outnumber the
females, but society is far more lenient
and forgiving to the shining man thar
to the SHINING woman.
Mrs. Mary Carpenter, an English
reform lecturer, who has recently
come to this country, wished the audi.
ence to remember that bad woman
can do an amount of harm that NJ
man could possibly do. She haC
known many children grow up wei
with bad father, but she had nevel
known any to grow up well with a baC
mother. The argument in behalf o
the transcendent importance Of wo
mans work in the home circle coulC
not be stated more powerfully or IL
fewer words. Solomon's virtuous wo
man will do more for the reformation
of the world than Solomon himsel
ever did in all his glory.-Coarier

How GEN. ScoTT ESCAPED CAN
BY's FATE.-General Scott, during the
war of 1872, is said to have narrowly
escaped death similar to that which
recently befell General Candy. The
General was taken prisoner at the
battle of Queenstown, iawhich engage
ment the British had ON their side a
number of Indian auziliaries. After
the day was over, two sages,." Captain
Jacobs" and Young BTant, came into
his tent, ostensibly to see whether they
had wounded him inthe engagement
of the day, as he had afforded such a
splendid target that each had fired on
him several times apiece. One OF
them seized him by the back and at
tempted to turn him, when he threw
both with great force against the wall
and seizing sword, prepared to sell
his life as dearly as possible, while
they stood glowering, with their hands
upon their tomahawks and knives wait
ing for the second when he should be
off his guard. A British officer en-
tered at that moment and the life OF
the gallant American was saved, even
had not his own valiant arm been suf-
fcient to preserv it.
