So you have finished your studies at the seminary? I was much pleased with the closing exercises. The author of that poem-Miss White, I think you called her-bids fair to become known as poet"
 "We think the authoress will become celebrated as poetess," remarked the young lady pertly, with marked em- phasis on two words of the sentence.
 ooh, ahp' replied the old gentleman, looking thoughtfully over his gold spectacles at the young lady. "I hear his sister was quite an actress, and un- der Miss Hosmer's instruction will un- doubtedly become quite a sculptoress. !"
 The young lady appeared irritated.
 The seminary, continued the old gentleman, with imperturable gravity, lis fortunate in having an efficient board of manageresses. From the Presidentess down to the humblest teacheress unusual talent is shown. There is Miss Harper, who as a chem istress, is unequaled, and Mrs. Knowles has already 8 reputation as an astron- omeress. And in the department of music few can equal Miss Kellogg as a singeress.
 The young lady did not appear to like the chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa at the other end of the room.
 "Yes," continued the old gentleman, as if talking to himself, "those White sisters are very talented. Mary, un- derstand, has turned her attention to painting and the drama, and-will surely become famous as an actress and paint eress. and even as lecturess-"

The Western Farmers.

At the Illinois Farmers Convention a resolution was offered and adopted rec ommending to the farmers of Illinois the keeping of farm-expense account during the present and succeeding sea- sons, in order that the actual cost of production may be estimated and made public for the purpose of reaching a fair and equitable remuneration therefor to the farmers of the State.
 A motion was made to reconsider the vote by which the resolution censuring members of Congress for voting for, and the President of the United States for signing, the bill increasing salaries was unanimously adopted. This motion was also declared carried, and motion was then made and carried to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of both resolutions.
 A delegate amid much confusion suc- ceeded in offering the following resolu- tion, which was adopted:
 ResolUed, That any legislation that is not based upon the eleventh article of our State Constitution, entitled "Rail- roads," will not meet the necessities of the producers in confning monopolies to reasonable maximum rates of freight and passenger tariff and prevent unjust discriminations, and that such maximum rates should be fixed by legislative en- actment as directed by our State Con- StitutiOn.

other parts of the country. Then Con gress began to take measures to pro- hibit polygamy, and the introduction of the Cullom bill, redefning adultery and giving the United States authority in certain new cases, raised storm of indignation among the saints, against whom especially it was directed; and 8 formal protest against it's passage was sent by them to Congress in 1870. In the more recent troubles in regard to Judge McKean's actions in Utah, charges were brought against the Mor- mons of murder and other heinous crimes alleged to have been committed long ago by prominent Mormons, and Judge McKean, held that they should be tried in United States Courts instead of those of the Territory. The Latter Day saints are now quiet enough, and in leaving them Brigham Young has withdrawn presence which has done all for their material prosperity that any man could have done. It is, of course, useless to speculate on the future of the people.

Never Too Late to Mend.

When the stomach is in state of chronic rebell- ion against every kind of food, and the attending physician with solemn and portentous gravity de- clares that such cases of confirmed dyspepsia defy all remedies, do not put faith in his ipse dirit h. digestion of this obstinate character may be incur able by prescriptions but 1t is not therefore irremovable fixture in the system. The fact is that the great vegetable invigorant and corrective Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is radically curing cases of this seemingly desperate nature every day Indeed it is in those malignant phases of dyspepsia which no ordinary med cine can control that it's remedial properties most wonderfully manifested. We say to the long suffering martyr whose stomach is a source of perpetual torment to him, that by the persistent and daily use of this nrious tonic, he not only restore the diges- tive organs to their full vigor but can keep them in good working order through life. If there is constipation the gentle aperient operation of the Bitters will remove all Instructions and keep the bowels in regular and healthy condition. The grand characteristic of this vitalzing and purify ing vegetable preparation is that it acts beneficial ly upon every organ, controlling the liver, rein forcing the nerves, toning the coats of the stomach, promoting healthy habit of body, reliev ing the body of all impurities, clearing the brain and revtving the spirits,

An Unsafe Place,

This has become serious question, in which not only voting men, but non- voting women, have deep personal in- terest-How are life and property to be protected in our great city? The factis conspicuous that neither our persons nor our pockets are secure at any time. Deeds of violence are constantly occur ring not only at night, but in broad day light not merely in secret by-ways and concealed places, but in our best streets, on our city cars, on ferry-boats, and in stages. Numberless pickpockets pur- sue their business successfully and boldly. They are often known, both by private persons and by the police, but seldom are they brought topunishment The law seems powerless to put down & great system of iniquity which is known to exist in our midst-the secret combination of thieves and pickpockets.
 The wife of conductor on one of our most frequented lines of city cars re- gently stated that her husband pursued his business in constant fear of his own life. Every day and every night, at regular times, gang of armed thieves and pickpockets entered the cars. They do not hesitate to let the conductor know that they are armed, and their ob- ject is to rob passengers going to and from the steam-cars. Strangers enter ing the city, unsuspicious and encum- bered with baggage, are easy victims. But so skillful are these roughs that even the most cautious and careful may find watches and pocket-books gone without sign of commotion. The coductor dares not say a word to them j; an appeal or complaint to the proprie- tors of the road would probably cost him his place, into which scores are ready to step one policeman is unable to cope with an organized band and not withstanding the numerous robberies which have been committed, nothing is really done to lessen the evil. Such is the story which we hear from a reliable source. There isno gainsaying the fact that we are not safe in our daily passage to and from business, that no legal pro- lection appears efficient. Must we al ways walk and ride with our hand upon our pocket ? Shallknown rufians, even if wearing the garb of gentlemen, be suffered to pursue their vile calling un- molested Shall intoxicated men be allowed in our cars, and women exposed to open insult, and there be nothing done about it? These things ought not so to be.-N. y. Paper.

A Western Editors Comment.

MT. William B. Cramer, proprietor of says of the lost steamer Atlantic: "Du- the ocean in two steamers, the Cambria, of the White Star line. They have both with 159 passengers, and the Atlantic do with the safety of ship. If he is a first-class man, permeated with thor ough sense of duty, the chances of safe ty on the sea are about equal to those on the land. Capt. Craig was the com when his vessel entered the dangerous channels between the north of Ireland and Scotland he was so carefnl that he would not permit any other officer but himself to stand on the lookout. And there, with glass in hand, he would re- main for hours. Capt. Perry was the commander of the Atlantic when we crossed the ocean in January, 1872. As the vessel approached the American coast his watchfulness was unceasing by night and by day, because, he said, "here there is real danger" When the vessel was in the deep sea he left far more to his subordinates, who were trained men, but when nearing the coast he felt that he could trust no one with the responsibility but himself, and all the passengers experienced feeling of security under the guidance of so tried, so skillful and so thoughtful an officer. We know nothing of Capt. Williams, of the Atlantic, but, on nearing the coast, we think first-class captain would have considered it breach of duty to be in his berth The Atlantic is built of iron, andscost $75O,O00 in gold, and has been in service only two years. She is doubt less insured in Liverpool, but no insur- ance, however large, can repay the com pany for the prestige which they will lose by this terrible disaster"

How WARM SNow Is.-Last fall MT. Spencer, who has farm near Elk Rapids, Mich., filled pit in his field with potatoes, covering them only with boards and potato tops {! During the night snow fell, and he was unable to cover them with earth, and they remain ed in this condition until the covering of snow, potato tops and boards were removed, and the potatoes found to be entirely untouched by the frost. Per- haps the most remarkable fact connect ed with this is that coffee pot half full of water, which was left standing on the ground beside the potato pit, and was covered with only snow to the depth of about one foot, was found to be as free from ice as when placed there last fall

He Wanted to Know.

An individual writes to one of the weekly papers for information as follows:
 am engaged to young lady whom I love sincerely and who returns my love. But not having been engaged long, some of her former gentlemen acquaintances come in once in awhile to spend the evening but, as matter of course, generally am there first. Now, should I leave because they call, or should I stay ? And if I am to stay, how is the young lady to get rid of them, as some of them, not knowing the state of the case, evidently expect ing me to go first ? Please tell me what to do under the circumstances"
 There are various methods by which these persons can be scared off. One way is to engage a prize-ighter to call and buffet them upon the nose and haul them around by the ears. Another way is to set the house on fire. Another is to secrete a hungry dog in the piano, and let him out suddenly when you want the company to move. Still better, why not introduce ightning-rod and scatter them with thunderstorm, or induce the hired girl to become insane, and charge into the parlor with gun :? Or, if you must drive them away, begin to take up collection or threaten to sing something or blow out the gas and leave the stop-cock turned or begin to tell about one of your dreams i; or try to borrow money of them or read the advertisements in the evening paper aloud to them or induce the young lady to pretend to go asleep and to snore or ask her aunt to come down and entertain them while you and your fair one spark sweetly in the corner. Any one of these methods will be effec- tive and what surprises us is that any man should have so little ingenuity as to be compelled to write to the news papers about it.

The only youth saved from the wreck

The only youth saved from the wreck makes the following statement
 Myname is John Hinley. lam about twelve years of age. got on board the Atlantic at Liverpool, with my mother, father, and young brother. We all be- longed to Ashton, Lancashire. The first thing worth mentioning that he knew of was that he was asleep in his berth when Q great noise awakened him, although he did not hear any voices. There seemed to be @ great rush, and he stumbled out of bed and into the crowd. The greater portion passed him, but he saw six men crowding into a top berth in the upper steerage, and he followed them. One of the men broke through Q window and got out, and the boy did the same, one kind hearted individual pushing him through before he had made the egress himself. Once outside he held on by the ropes until himself and his companions were rescued by the life boat What became of his parents and brother he did not know, but is certain that they were drowned. The family were on their way to New York at the invitation of two married daughters settled there.
 The crew was one of the hardest that was ever gathered in any vessel. They were picked up about the Liverpool wharves and docks, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were kept under control during the voyage.
 The storekeeper says that one of them made an attempt to snatch his watch and chain one night, but was foiled. On another occasion, during the storm of the 25th of March, he states that some of the crew attempted to break into the spirit-room, and it was for 6 while feared that force would have tc be used to prevent them. When the boats came from the shore to rescue the survivors the sailors repeatedly pushed the passengers aside or knocked them down and jumped into the boats them. selves.

 William B. Astor, 76, shows no symp- toms of decay takes long walks has an excellent appetite and digestion {; and looks forward, presume, to 15 or 20 years more of adherence to the planet.
 William Cullen Bryant, now 75, pre- serves the physical characteristics of youth. He often walks or miles be- fore breakfast :; brides himself upon his ability to leap fences and laughs at the idea of being considered an old man.

It is very sad to say that the bodies were pilfaged after they washed ashore and were then turned adrift again. An emigrant with thirty soverelgns sewed in his vest was found, and all of them cut out. The robber of the dead was apprehended by the magistrate.
 A large trench was dug, in which the bodies of the poor unclaimed were put to rest.
